I apologize in advance for what will be at least a partially incorrect comment.

But don't lawyers deal with this fuzziness to some extent by putting the question to a jury? For instance, suppose we were writing a software application to decide when to shut down a machine because it got "too hot". We could go ahead and assign a specific temperature, or perhaps set up an equation with a few different readings.

Now suppose there was some litigation because a tennis player collapsed during a tournament that was "too hot". Would the lawyer define "too hot", or would the jury? You could have a situation where all parties agree on the law, and that it turns on whether it was "too hot", and the legal system would treat the jury's definition almost as definitively as a temperature reading input into an algorithm, right?
Where does the first 20% discount come from? (And I would completely disregard the second one; if you know someone who has a high volume account, you can probably get some spare slices just with a polite word.)

More importantly, though: you're assuming Micro instances. Micro instances are tolerable, but not really comparable to anything offered to paying customers at even the most downmarket VPS. The moment you want to burst the CPU of a Micro for any extended period (say, starting up Unicorn workers), your instance will become a chugging morass.

When I was on AWS, I had to go in and reboot my instance every other time I deployed an update to it, because the update process ran just long enough to prompt a 99%-CPU-throttle. At that point my server was basically wedged, since new HTTP requests were still trickling into the old app servers and queuing up (with the throttling, it now was too slow to handle them before more arrived), leaving the CPU unable to "relax" enough to get out of the throttled state even after the deploy was over.

> if you want an always on connection for 1+ years you can get discounts

With a down payment. You have to calculate the NPV of the cashflow, not just the aggregate sum; $10/mo is a lot easier to manage than $100 + $8/mo.

But disregaring that: even with a three-year term--costing $257 up-front, and committing you to payments in a similar way to a cell-phone contract--it looks like an Small will still cost $15.80/mo. Why put yourself in such a bind just for a not-that-good slice? (Network throughput is one of the few acceptable answers to that.)

This does all assume that your app that will live comfortably on any consumer workstation machine for the foreseeable future (its growth has already plateaued, in other words.) If there's any possibility of hockey-stick growth in your app's future, AWS becomes a lot more attractive.
> If we are successful with ADHD, then we would only be more successful if we didnt have ADHD.

Indeed, ADHD is a bane, not a superpower. Yet, more? I don't know. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, which in turn makes you able to overcome ordeals and achieve things, sometimes worse, sometimes better, and anyway differently. This is how I live with ADHD, how I learned to work around or abuse it, how I made it a part of me.

PS: the acronym is only correct when you are hyperactive in addition to the attention deficit part. the H trait is not always present — or at least not as prevalent — which sometimes makes ADD hard to detect.

I guess for a fair comparison you'd need to consider taxation and major costs. In UK £45,000pa would net you £2,750/month after tax. Most likely your employer would be paying or contributing to your pension. Health care is free. Assuming you want your own place, a typical apartment in semi-central London might be £350/week rent. Local taxes depend on your properties value, but could say £100/month typical. Then for simplicity estimate major household bills (gas & electricity) at £100/month.

Net Income: £2750/month
Major Expense: ~£1750/month
It doesn't sound like Brown has a particularly solid case. I see no reason why an outside company can't request student ID numbers, nor can I see a problem with an outside company paying someone to go to the restaurant and pick up a bunch of sandwiches now and again.

Excluding or rejecting people without arbitrary reason is called discrimination. Since weight is a big issue in fuel consumption I don't think you can call this discriminatory.

But when you are charged extra because your weight is above X, it is discriminatory. So airlines should not charge extra but should charge by kilo-distance.

I have it, dropped out of college. Remember being up all night learning other stuff than what the education had planned for me.

School: learn MySQL

Brain: learn Redis.

School: Learn javabeans and JEE and etc

Brain: Learn Obj-C and Cocoa

Contrived example, but something along those lines. Had to drop out, it was killing me staying up all night experiment with stuff that was not related to the education plan setup for me. I mean it's an investment in myself to learn as much as possible, but I wasn't getting any credit for it.

Didn't know it at the time, but recently got diagnosed with "severe" adolescent ADHD.

They said pills might not help.

Does anyone have any cool tip on how to focus without getting distracted and look at George Costanza quotes or research about meat eating plants?

For me, cutting starch/carbohydrates/sugar helped. But only by a little, it got rid of the "fog" brain. At least now the 1000 thoughts in my head running concurrently are crystal clear :)
One of the two inputs of BMI is weight. This situation is about the weight of people. In this case, it might actually make sense.

Fair enough, I was thinking in terms of "graduated from an Ivy League school", but point taken.

Anyway, that I could have chosen a better example doesn't negate the point, that you can certainly be very successful without having attended an Ivy League school.

Bitcoin isn't that deflationary, and won't be at all until 2140.

When 2140 comes around, and all the bitcoin is mined, then it will only deflate at the rate which coin is "lost into the ether" from people losing their wallets, etc. I highly doubt the deflation rate will be anywhere near 1%.

A bad CEO can do a huge amount of harm to a company, even if it has excellent workers.
So perhaps the value of a CEO is more in that they put the right people in the right positions and don't hold them back.

So in a sense to get a measure of the "value" of a good CEO you would need to not measure them against a bad CEO but perhaps against a company without a CEO at all where smart people self-organise.

The title is inaccurate, they weren't using JavaScript before, they were using CoffeeScript.

Seems that the story is they are moving towards a more opinionated language/framework. That it is Dart isn't the story here; they don't even mention the Dart VM as a benefit for the switch. It just as easily could be ClojureScript, which provides all of the same benefits.

As someone with a mild stutter (5/10, 8 on bad days) but actually does a fair amount of public speaking for a living, I understand how difficult this can be for you. As context for those that have never experienced this before, Nathan Heller describes it very eloquently in both what it feels like physically and how it affects one psychologically and socially: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/assessment/2... It was an emotional read for me as it captures so successfully my own situation, and I'd imagine it will be too for many with a stutter.

I can only offer some anecdotal advice based on my own experiences, but I hope your situation improves soon (I agree with most of what everyone else is saying: you are being underpaid.)

- Slow down your speech. Sometimes my thoughts get ahead of my mouth, and my words don't come out eloquently. Sometimes when I do phone interviews (or presentations) I put a little card in front of me that has written in big letters "SLOW DOWN." Speech pace may not be a factor for you, but this trick can probably be applied to whatever you're personally going through—put something on a card that keeps you subtly conscious of your speech. Of course YMMV if this makes you nervous and enhances your stammer.

- Practice. I've basically found that all presentations and speaking events turn out better after practicing aloud. With interviews, you can ask a friend to help you prepare, and this may help you with "softball" non-coding questions (e.g., why you looking for a new position, describe a technical challenge, etc.)

- Speak more. This goes hand-in-hand with the point above but is really important. I speak more so I gain more confidence in my own speech, which helps me get over my stutter. Heller (the article above) makes a great point in saying that stutterers actually seem to be attracted to professions in which speaking is a critical part of the role. I somewhat feel the same way, and perhaps if you realize this, you can too. A stutter isn't something to cower away from, it's a challenge to step up to and break through.

Buying bitcoins is a convoluted process especially outside of USA.
Western union certainly has infrastructure to speed-up this process for anyone who is willing to pay their outrageous fees.
Note the important point that "system" is not free market, merely at least some pre-planned surgery and common diagnostic procedures have a fixed price.

I'm sure that the average purchaser is at an extreme knowledge disadvantage making comparison shopping nearly impossible, and critical care/emergency care does not allow the time for comparison shopping. Finally you did not elaborate on the competition... is there any? So its a free market in that some prices are posted, but not in pretty much any other way.
I have a stammer - often very severe. I don't have all the answers but I hope I can offer inspiration.

I'm now working at Twitter and I speak at conferences internationally. I've struggled through the issues you have and I used to assume I could never get a job of any kind.

In the end it's about attitude. Don't try not to stammer. Speak as much as you can. Be who you are, know what you're good at and let others know it. Always remember that a good employee will hire you for what you can do, not what you can't.

I agree that people may very well use Bitcoin despite a successful attack (plenty of people still use Hushmail), although I think a lot of confidence would be lost. Bitcoin has a lot of hurdles to overcome as it is, and the detection or announcement of a successful attack would add yet another.
I think a few points are worth emphasizing. Dart produces JavaScript that is closer to being correct
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5424680

Dart can produce JavaScript that is faster
http://news.dartlang.org/2013/03/why-dart2js-produces-faster...

The JavaScript output of Dart2js works across all modern browsers (IE9 and above, among others.) No browser hacks required.

Having said that, I wish they would stop working on advancing Dart and ship a 1.0 version. It's been 1.5 years since it was announced. Make the advancements in the 1.1 or 2.0 and give the tool developers a solid target to optimize for in 1.0. Let us not have to sell clients on a beta development system, even though that's what I'm doing and it's working, despite some panic when Dart developers break things with breaking changes (which is often.)

Out of curiosity, why do you put a space before the period at the end of your sentences? It makes them hard to read, and confuses word-wrap.
I think it does at least 3 things well:

1. It lets developers familiar/interested in the tech to know that you use it and that they should apply there.

2. You've done the work to research it and make the decision to switch - it doesn't hurt share that. Who knows someone may point out some flaws you didn't expect.

3. It increases the inertia of the technology. There are strong network effects in technology and if everyone sees that something is growing they'll make the jump too. One new library created per X developers is a big win and makes it better.
That's a great technique. It's a good application of most prolific writers' advice about writer's block: just write, dammit!

I've taken it as a sign that I am officially "old" that this article was stunningly obvious. I remember being introduced to a profiler and similar instrumentation techniques by my first software engineering mentor.

Value, including your reputation, is built on applying intellectual leverage to get results that are faster and larger than expected.

The quick fixes (low hanging fruit) buy time to gedankenversuch your big architectural solution, so you can apply your critical mind to tearing it down, rebuilding it, boiling the ocean for tea, and tearing it down again while washing your underarms in the shower[1]. With a new team, it builds trust so that "rudely" doesn't come into it when you open the topic.

[1] This is the leading cause of having to jump back into the shower because I forgot to rinse.
In my case, I've gone through a pretty extensive battery of tests with two separate behavioral psychologists that go beyond self-evaluation or those (largely nonsensical) questionnaires that primary care physicians have you fill out. But I agree with what you're saying. There are folks out there who've made claims to being ADD without being officially diagnosed, some in startup spaces.

To be fair though, it can be difficult to diagnose even in the medical community, particularly given that it seems to be the default fallback for any parent wanting to medicate a child that may be going through a natural hyperactive phase.

On the other hand, I wasn't officially diagnosed until I was 20 so I spent 18+ years in the dark. Others I know went through similar (longer) periods of quiet self-diagnosis before they finally decided to go through what would be considered an appropriate test.

Well, you are subsidizing the insurance industry too :-).

There are clearly indirect costs that go into inflating insurance premiums. I find it very hard to understand why it's acceptable to pay in one way (high premiums, catastrophic care bills) but not in another (nationalized health care). I've never heard an argument against it that didn't strike me as pure FUD. [Incidentally, not trolling Republicans here—I'd love to hear a good explanation that goes beyond distaste for anything government-run.]

This is far from the full picture. He got a generous stock options deal and a corporate jet.

He absolutely deserved those for his achievements, but the $1 salary was a brilliant piece of "optics" that would fit nicely into headlines. According to the link below, this was equivalent to almost $40m per year in benefits.

Of course, no one remembers the mouthy paragraph above, and the "$1 salary" thing get remembered.

“The eyes have it, as they say, and when you have a conversation with someone suffering from strabismus, it can be extremely uncomfortable and distracting.”

Very true. I have strabismus myself, and I only see with one eye. However, someone with strabismus can get surgery to correct the position of the eyes. When I was 19, I had the surgery done, and it made all the difference (it doesn’t help you see, but it certainly improves how people see you.)

Your friend Jack has options. For someone with a stammer, there's no such ‘quick fix’ and it might very well be permanent.
Ask HN: Employers: how many devs have left your company to do their own thing?
The line between developer culture and entrepreneurial culture has been getting increasingly blurry over the past decade. It's rare that I hear of a developer that's happy just working for a company.<p>While I of course understand the want/need for one to do their own thing, it seems like it's becoming the definition of success for a developer -- building a product that takes off, rather than making great contributions to something they don't necessarily own.<p>My window into this world is pretty one-sided, which is why I'm posting this here; I'd love to hear stories about devs that are on the other side of the coin, [government contractor], Google, Microsoft and Apple excepted.<p>I tried finding statistics on the backgrounds of tech entrepreneurs but couldn't find anything definitive. It'd be interesting to see how many are developers breaking out.<p>It's saddening to think a company can have the best culture, team fit, benefits and salary, but it's just a holding pattern in the eyes of some.<p>I say all this fully aware of the irony that I'm puzzled by my own actions. I guess that's how it's supposed to work? :)

> The letter went on to demand that Crunchbutton stop listing Jo’s on its website; stop offering delivery service from any Brown dining establishment; stop collecting student ID numbers (for payment purposes); destroy any retained ID numbers; and stop using Brown facilities for any marketing or promotional activities.

Except perhaps the first one, none of these seem unreasonable to me. The article also seems to gloss over aspects of the situation that could make this "innovator" look bad. Why did they need to collect student ID's for "payment purposes?" What exactly was this "defamatory statement?"

When your "innovation" consists of leveraging someone else's product, it's generally bad form (even if not illegal per se, unless it amounts to trademark infringement) to make it seem like you have an association with them when you don't.
My allergist charged a "rack rate" of $24 per injection, just under the $25 line that the insurance company said was UCR.

It turned out the insurance company's contract with the allergist said he could charge me no more than $18.50, but the insurance company paid none of it. So even then it was $74/month, given that I had to go weekly.

Because of the stupid game that I had to play, I had absolutely no way of knowing what that discount would be though. Could have been nothing, could have been a lot. Hence "could" add up to nearly $100 a month if I had to pay full price.
