Exactly. A while back, I was considering jobs in both Colorado and the Bay Area. A $100K position in the Bay Area might only be worth half that in my home town of Fort Collins (and perhaps $70-80K in Denver). I wouldn't want to undersell myself by selecting $60K during the signup process if I thought that I could make more than that in the Bay Area. When I first checked out Pitchbox earlier this year[1], that uncertainty was enough for me to skip signing up entirely.

bitsweet mentioned below[2] that my selection is used only as a filter and not shown to employers, but I think that could stand to be made more clear either during the signup process or somewhere on the landing page.

EDIT for another slightly related point: I take it this is for US-based employers at the moment. Are there any plans to expand to other markets? Now that I'm moving to Berlin, I'd love to use something like Pitchbox in my job search (though incidentally, salaries are a completely different story over there).

Do not write for iOS.

If you write for iOS, you are sharecropping. Your income exists at the sole discretion of an entity that has more power than you and very little incentive not to misuse it. Further, your income is more, not less at risk, if you are successful. If you lose, it's your loss. If you win, they take your niche, call you a plagiarist and kick you out with nothing. And if you are just puttering along, that's no guarantee you won't be sideswiped by a strategic or bureaucratic decision you can neither anticipate nor control.
Are you sure? All sources I've seen say that on the Pixel the flash is soldered on, and that the apparent mini-PCIe port doesn't work with a mSATA card.
It would be viewed as pretty evil if Google extracted government concessions and then used some kind of regulatory capture to lock out competitors. That's AT&T's game.

This is good news for an ambitious startup, but I have to say: this whole thing seems like a bit of a shame.

If Carson truly is motivated by by the proliferation of knowledge to the underprivileged, then more power to him. But I still think there are better ways of contributing to such a global effort. I mean, there are better ways than attempting to monetize atop crumbling home lives and shameful education voids. For example: http://www.codeclub.org.uk/ (what a cool initiative!)

In an industry so blessed with the huge amount of free knowledge available online, open to both public scrutiny and moderation, like Coursera & Khan Academy, you'd think that there'd be no possible niche for Treehouse to serve. But there is. There is a niche of people who simply don't know better. They don't know of the freely available content nor the millions of hours freely spent by programmers worldwide contributing constantly.

Instead of creating a private monetizable bubble of ignorance around the underprivileged, how about letting them learn through the already existing freely available content?

So congrats and all, but I just, on a personal level, want more for the future of education.
Nothing mean about it. Very well-written and good advice, it is.
The problem with universal whitespace removal isn't the output of the diff, imo, but the spurious conflicts in merges. A change should be minimal to allow easier merging.

Ideally whitespace would be trimmed from lines that have otherwise changed, thus ensuring a gradual (though probably never completing) repair of the code.
Yeah, running an ISP is exactly like, and as profitable as developing a browser based on Apple's work. Running an ISP is surely Google's strong point and core business.

Why didn't you compare Fiber to the http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cl... ?
It's clear (to me at least) that FTTH is less profitable than DSL (aka U-Verse), so AT&T won't offer it unless forced to.

Looks like the salary is only to filter possible employees and only internally used by pitchbox employees. They want to make sure if you talk to a possible employeer they can match your salary expectation.
...or I was responding appropriately to an obvious troll.

But don't let me deny you your savory helping of sanctimony there.
I think the point is that there's a less disrespectful way of finding out which class you should take ie. talking to other students, online research, reading course descriptions, etc.

Of course we don't have context, but walking into a class an hour in seems like it's fairly presumptuous.

That's my effort at high horse-ness :ob
At least when I have a problem with Comcast I can eventually get a rep on the phone to fix it. Can anybody with Google Fiber comment on whether the customer support is better than their other products'? Even paying Google Apps customers have said that it's almost nonexistent.

I realize it's possible since this is a (relatively) expensive paid service, but Google has a lot less experience doing customer service even less than AT&T or Comcast. And their usual approach of "Make a webpage listing common problems" might not work as well for fixing internet service outages.
No, sorry. But the commit hook in the other post should be useful in terms of openscad file rendering..

CAD is a really interesting industry from an open source perspective. BRLCAD has done some really excellent work. "Something" needs to come in and bulldoze the mess that OpenCASCADE has left. It turns out that writing NURBS intersection code is really not a cake walk.. go figure. Not sure what that "something" is going to be yet.

Btw, I would love to talk with you about your industry experience. We could mutually complain about how terrible ISO 10303 is!
Phone and Cable companies are increasingly becoming just ISPs; if Google Fiber starts to be successful in more cities, it threatens the highly profitable duopoly they have.

Consumer ISPs have long deployed their fastest technology in response to a competitor (typically, but not always a municipally funded competitor) deploying a fast network.

You need to remember, Comcast started charging Level 3 (who distributes some of Netflix's content) for peering. There's nothing illegal about this, but think about what it means is Comcast is now selling its customers to the content companies; you are no longer the customer but the product.
Any feedback is most appreciated!

What do you use to replace command-T in ST2 in Emacs? I recently picked up Emacs because I'm doing a clojure project (I can't get ST2 to work with nrepl) but I am having a hard time without the command-T fuzzy search.

I have ido and find-file-in-project installed but neither of them seem to include directories in the fuzzy search. So if I search 'custcore' it won't match 'customer/core.clj'. If I instead search 'core' it is too broad of a term. I really need very little out of an editor, but this is one of those things.
Isn't it obvious? It's OK to violate the EULA if there's no chance of them catching you, and if other people haven't been caught before. No end user has ever been caught or sued by Apple for running OS X in a VM, because that's not easily detectable and Apple doesn't care about it. But stories of App Store EULA violation nightmares are a dime a dozen.

TL;DR use your common sense
I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think AT&T is a capable enough institution to beat Google to the punch on this one.
Congratulations! Awesome project!

> For local storage, a medical institution can say the files don't exist or are inaccessible. This option doesn't exist for online records.

I'm not sure if that's a good example of why local is better than online, since by stating to the courts that something doesn't exist (when in actuality it does)is lying to the courts...I'm no lawyer, but I'd imagine that doing so is punishable. I think the benefits of online medical files far outweigh the offline component for many reasons.
It feels that way to me, and I can recall four or five disruptions in the last year.
Getting your dumb faux pas chewed out in such a manner is a great thing - you get the learning experience, but you don't get the ugly consequences that often come with that; i.e., this anonymous posting vs. a public failure that will stay on your record forever, a firing from a job or a break in important personal relationship. And, by the way, all these three things were quite likely with the 'default behaviour' that the student showed, and hopefully this event will allow him/her to achieve better results in future.

From the article:

"AT&T’s ... anticipate it will be granted the same terms and conditions as Google on issues such as geographic scope of offerings, rights of way, permitting, state licenses and any investment incentives."

They want to make a case out of Google getting preferential treatment to build out its network (which they are).
I agree. That's the take the author decided to use when naming the article.
A friend of mine is running an ASP.NET MVC/Mono/MongoDB ecommerce site on micro with around a quarter million of annual sales. The site is very very fast.
Why does a student need to attend the first lecture (which will likely consist of administrative matters and rule-setting) to get an idea if they want to take the class? I thought this is why professors listed their syllabi on their webpage.
I saw these links in another discussion (apologies to whoever posted it—can't find the origin): http://www.fiercetelecom.com/story/t-u-verse-runs-sf-sidewal... and http://www.fiercetelecom.com/story/att-ordered-stop-u-verse-... . If AT&T can't even deploy U-Verse, why would Google or anyone else want to wander into the bureaucratic bog that is trying to get anything done in San Francisco?
As it turns out, accessing significant amounts of real-time flight data, as required by this app, is neither publicly accessible nor cheap (hence the need to charge for the app). There are also many other costs associated with developing even a small iPhone app to this level of quality.

I'm actually quite proud of myself for keeping the costs so low. Try asking some big companies what they spent on their apps - you might be in for a surprise (think huge numbers)!
> What is gender if it isn't a way to think about the world?

The answer is obvious -- it's a way to very reliably misinterpret everyday reality. In the same way that to a hammer everything is a nail, to a gender theorist everything is a gender issue.

As long as black, brown and red people are thought of as something other than people, we have a serious race issue.

In the same way, as long as men and women are thought of as something other than people, we have a serious gender issue.

Do you think that race is a constructive way to think about the world? No? Then why would gender be?
In general, it seems like people have a hard time understanding what doesn't belong in production.
I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm on the UWS and my building got FiOS a few years ago. Started at 100Mbit, then upped it to 150 at half the price. They offer a 300Mbit service but it's $300 a month and even bandwidth-hungry I can't justify that. Some friends who live in Silver Towers (42nd St) also have it.

Yep. It's amazing how much that can hobble you--it seems like while the big stuff is what takes the most effort, the little stuff is what causes you to lose.

A simple example: Say I want to go out on a date. I worry about meeting people, I worry about being in shape, I worry about being interesting, I worry about all kinds of stuff--but the simple thing is having clean laundry. It's a simple thing to tick off, but it can render all of the other work useless if it isn't done.

I'm still comparing keywords in URLs vs. no keywords in URLs, but with no regard to static or dynamic.

To your point, I could have used static vs. static and dynamic vs. dynamic examples such as:

mywhateverblog.com/page1.html is not as good as mywhateverblog.com/red-widgets-in-texas.html

mywhateverblog.com/?p=595 is not as good as mywhateverblog.com/red-widgets-in-texas?id=595

From Google's own SEO Starter guide [1]:

"Use words in URLs! URLs with words that are relevant to your site's content and structure are friendlier for visitors navigating your site. Visitors remember them better and might be more willing to link to them.

Avoid using lengthy URLs with unnecessary parameters and session IDs; choosing generic page names like "page1.html"; using excessive keywords like"baseball-cards-baseball-cards-baseballcards.htm"

And from Google's Webmaster Tools page regarding URL structure [2]:

"A site's URL structure should be as simple as possible. Consider organizing your content so that URLs are constructed logically and in a manner that is most intelligible to humans (when possible, readable words rather than long ID numbers). For example, if you're searching for information about aviation, a URL like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation will help you decide whether to click that link. A URL like http://www.example.com/index.php?id_sezione=360&sid=3a5e..., is much less appealing to users."

Except that it can backfire on them big time, which is if manufacturers see UEFI as hindering sales because they don't even get the incremental Linux sales they will drop it and the Secure Boot initiative will have failed.

And while I would see some people jumping up and down about that, I point out that one of Microsoft's challenges is that people don't want to use it for doing things like browsing the web if all the scaremongering about zero day exploits rages around them.

You must be missing the weekly blog entries by women on harassment in the workplace and at industry functions that get posted and subsequently flagged and responded to with "Not this again," and "Why is this on Hacker News?" I initially wrote "avoiding" but it makes sense you'd miss them since they hardly ever get on the front page (despite how often people complain they do).

You must also gloss over all of the threads relating to women-only events and women-centric ventures wherein the comments boil down to "Why do women need this? How is actively excluding themselves going to help us as a whole?" and "Great, now they'll feel like even specialer snowflakes." When Github announced that they were doing on-site talks by women for women, the comments broke out in fears that men were not allowed to show up and how bothersome this "trend" was and how disappointed they would be in Github for allowing such.

And your point that the exclusion is purely psychological is unfortunate. I was oblivious to gender issues until I started experiencing them for myself. The outright discrimination was degrading and unexpected and if I hadn't started building websites because of the love of the craft and that I started doing so in a community dominated by women, I probably would have reconsidered my life's path right then and there.

Lastly, while I understand you mean well by your other comments (re: men and women really being no different), I don't think a man can speak on behalf of any female-identifying persons' "everyday reality."

I've looked at a lot of the "learn-to-code" introductory material that's out there these days, and the Treehouse content is some of the worst there is. I could run down a list of issues, but maybe it suffices to say that I've met many people who've completed the courses and still do not have any understanding of the basics of programming. And this is the material that is going to get high schoolers jobs? I don't think so.
While it is true that we might increase the rationality of people via education, we are never going to be able to make people anywhere near completely rational. Anyone who would think otherwise has clearly not studied much cognitive psychology or neuroscience.

It's not even clear that fully rational humans would be a good thing. Great art, for instance, doesn't come from being rational. It comes from people with irrational drive and vision.
Most of the things I listed happen right here in good ol' America.

> What I was saying was

No, what you actually said was that if that wasn't evil, you don't know what is. Which is an incredulous thing to say.

> using public money for private profit is evil

I see, so no government contracts should exist, or they should only go to non-profits. They're using public money for private profit, after all.

> if it were not done, the average standard of living would increase and poverty would decrease.

Unprovable.
It's not clear, which is our fault, but we do take this into consideration when looking at other geographies for relocation. We also always share compensation in a pitch, so you know early on if the adjusted comp is reasonable for you.

A really wise project manager once told me "no matter how hard you try you can't fit ten pounds of shit into a five pound bag". If you apply this to time management you really can't have your cake and eat it too.

So either you need to be more productive with less time on the entrepreneurial front, or you need a personal partner who accepts that's who you are (or some compromise combination of the two). I think the key thing to realize is that there aren't any silver bullets when looking for these sorts of answers.

> Servers bring over a tablet with a BitPay app that lets merchants accept Bitcoins as a form of payment. The app converts the dollar value of the bill into Bitcoins and gives customers a bar code...Customers would use their smart phones to scan the bar code that will deduct the amount from their Bitcoin accounts. BitPay will credit that $15 to the bar.

This is kind of counter the spirit of direct P2P of bitcoin. I'd expect the transaction to happen directly between the customer wallet and the wallet of the bar. Why is the intermediary / conversion needed at the time of the transaction?
This really just seems like a culture-clash in action.

I don't know what the general sentiment is at NYU, but the university I attended had a very strong "shopping week" culture. It was quite common, and quite accepted, to shop three classes simultaneously, spending 20-30 minutes at each one and leaving or joining midway through the class.

In that context, xxxx's only real faux pas was sending the email, which was perhaps a hair self-important.

I'd love to hear from an NYU student what the social mores there are.
On the Bitcoin Software Maturity Scale, where hundreds of thousands of dollars routinely gets entrusted to 17 year olds coding bucket shops in Ruby on Rails and 80% of the global transaction volume is run through a company in Tokyo set up to trade Magic: The Gathering cards, a guy with financial industry and experience and enough money to pay for a single professional security audit is practically IBM.

I do not have extensive experience with Emacs. However, I've often heard it described as an infinitely extensible system, or as you put it "you can practically live in Emacs."

I find that a bit odd, because it's like building an OS inside an OS. I already have an infinitely extensible system, namely my actual OS (*nix). I want a tool that nicely fits within that system, not supplants it. And then I want that tool to be the best possible tool at what it is (in this case, a code editor). If I need other operations/actions, then I will use other tools.
