My gripe too. When I forget to 'check out' in Amsterdam when transferring from metro to train I get fined, even though I did in fact 'check in' for the train. It's so mindnumbingly stupid to have the two check-in/out poles standing next to each other.
If the option exists to keep doing the horrible job, that means there is no direct pressure to quit it. That means sustaining your family is never a problem, you can hold on to the job while you are looking for a new one. You can even have someone else (a headhunter) do the looking while you work the job.

Maybe you should stop giving your self syndromes and acknowledge that you know how to program. Businesses are looking for people who know how to program, why do you think the market is not great? Last thing I heard many businesses are still scrambling for web and app developers.

It is a well kept secret, but the kind of team leader that doesn't think he's a good team leader often is a good team leader. If you position yourself as just 'one of the boys' you get a lot more honest feedback, and you'll be less of a cock to your team.

Doing a startup as someone who lacks confidence and needs to sustain a family seems like a bad idea, unless you could get into YC or something.

Also.. maybe I'm naieve but you should do something about your confidence, aren't you raising a child?
Yeap, same. iPad and Nexus - side menu is awful.
Ask HN: When not to use Build-Measure-Learn?
We writing hypothesis and measures for every single story... even for fixing spelling mistakes

Ya, as usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

The PC industry has matured. Compare it, if you will, to those boring utility companies. Yes, they still do make a lot of money, but there's nothing inherently exciting about them.

microsoft today is one of those boring utility companies. Whenever I watch one of their ads full of young, energetic people dancing and clicking, I try to imagine my local water company trying to market itself this way, and I can't stop laughing at that point.

The future is Apple, Google, Mozilla, and a fourth company that hasn't yet been created.
Wow. I was looking into Google Apps scripts earlier and dismissed it because of lacking support across Google Docs products.

One example doesn't make a case. I'd argue that the system of electing sheriffs has overall worked tremendously well in the US. The alternative is appointment by insiders or a board, both of which are easily susceptible to corruption, and that can make it difficult to impossible to correct said corruption when it happens.
Given Tokyo's huge number of independent transit operators, there's no real authority to grant any "exclusives."

By the same token, getting real-time info out of all of these operators would seem a huge task...

But given the nature of Tokyo transport, it's hardly necessary in most cases anyway—everything runs extremely frequently, and pretty much exactly on time (so scheduled times are usually all you need), and the system's emphasis on rail over buses means that variability due to traffic conditions is rarely a concern.

I can think of lots of candidates for our contemporary historic greats - but you can easily defeat this argument by assessing them as less great than your own historic heroes.

You and I will never know. But I'm betting that the contemporary distractions are no more the cause of mediocrity than the historic ones were.
That's an alternative, but not a particularly good one, IMO.

The Comic Book Guy is strong over there - meaning that a significant number of conversations carry that sort of condescending, unfriendly tone as the Simpson's Comic Book Guy; intending to show that the author is clearly a superior human being due to their knowledge of ARM opcodes and their interaction with GCC or whatever else the subject is.

The biggest risks I see for HN are:

* Simply getting too big. Not much to do about that.

* Noisy political articles (like, say, about China...) that attract people who like noisy political discussions.

* Outrage articles. There are a lot of horrible injustices in the world. Enough to completely drown out tech and startup news, and in the grand scheme of things, often much more important than, say, Scala vs Clojure.

It's ideal for most judges to be elected to life terms. That limits concerns about them needing to serve the politics of the minute to get re-elected. They can take principled stands without worrying about being thrown out. The Supreme Court has routine stood up to both Congress and the President, and they can only do that because they can't be removed (except under extraordinary circumstances of corruption).

In the US, IQ tests are (in some states) used in public schools during part of a process to identify students who have unique potential that may be realized if special consideration, privileges, and opportunities are given to them. So called "gifted" programs.

For example, I used one of these programs to spend half my highschool career playing Doom on school computers, and spend the other half of my highschool career taking courses at the local branch of the state university.... Yeah, not a perfect system.

Using IQ tests during hiring is legally risky in the US because it puts you at a high risk of discrimination lawsuits. Subsequently, where you see them in the US, they are masquerading as something else (think "puzzle"/"outside the box thinking" interview questions for programmers).
I always considered the intelligence as an abstract concept. Like a way to named the group formed by curiosity, flexibility, adaptation and others capacities to understand relations and interactions between elements.

By the abstract nature of that set of attributes, I don't understand how it could be measured.

By the way, what is your definition of intelligence ?

I would question the premise actually that intelligence can be represented adequately by a single scalar quantity. a much better approach would be an n-dimensional vector.

The problem you get with a scalar measurement is that you end up with weighing one component of intelligence against another. IQ tests don't spend all questions measuring the same exact skills of course, so you have to have a way of weighing one skill against another. That weight itself can only be culturally derived, and therefore IQ tests in their current form have no hope in measuring innate abilities on an apples to apples basis because in the end we are comparing apples to melons.[1]

That's NOT a thing, one of the richest women is JK Rowling and students are often mandated to read works by Jane Austen and the Bell Jar.

It always seems that for every person actually achieving something, there'll be five others circlejerking over how hard it is to achieve things when you're X.

As long as Americans want their government to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to protect them from terrorism threat (real or imagined), this kind of shit will continue to go on.
Just imagine what you could do in an environment that nurtures you, values your opinions and embraces change as a Great Thing (tm). The job markets are in your favour these days. There are a lot of start ups and more established companies looking for people like you who obviously stand out. If I was you I'd start fishing to see what are my options in other places. One of these options will be something you just can't not take and your notice of resignation will be easier to hand out.
Even in cases that can/should be solved by addressing a root problem, often you still want to apply drugs so that the patient doesn't, for example, kill himself in a down period between his/her second and third psychotherapy session.
I'm American, and don't know if I have any more insight than you do. I think the issue is that both major parties in the US (at least publicly) prioritize security over privacy. Fox doesn't cry out about this because Fox viewers are rarely in uproar about such trade offs. If anything, I'd guess this policy has greater support among mainstream Republicans than Democrats.

Privacy issues are viewed in an entirely different light than gun control, and are frequently a darling of the left. For example, the EFF (source of this article) is considered as an extremely liberal left organization, and hated by many conservatives. Perhaps the feeling is that as long as you can maintain control of the government you and your side have nothing to worry about, and the guns are there in case you somehow lose control of that government.

Under what theory? Disparate racial impact? Before I get downvotes for that it is worth noting that racial groups do have remarkably different IQ test results in the US. Whether that says anything about intelligence or genetics is hotly debated in some circles. It isn't clear how much is cultural, whether there are subtle cognitive differences between racial groups, and even of so whether this corresponds to any intelligence difference.

If you want to define "Fundamentalist" to be something other than current real-world usage, that is fine. I'll just pick a new, less 'technical', word: Nuts.

And, to clarify earlier discussion on the behalf of JabavuAdams, "Online, when someone writes "Christian", it's hard to tell whether they're referring to fundamentalists^Wreligious nuts, or not."

Well you're slightly wrong.

See: Judge Andrew Napolitano (former New Jersey Superior Court Judge). He's a host on Fox News and does in fact regularly make an issue of these types of abuses. Take a look at his books:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Napolitano#Writing_caree...

Fox News is a 2/3 conservative bastion (and they're for big government, big spending, big military, big debt), but it also has a small mixture of libertarian "extreme right wing" Republican views as well (and those people are against the police state, against big government, pro civil liberties, etc).

Not really true. They are still building tools that were like other older tools ( but with more complexity ). As far as I can tell nobody ( nobody I know) is thinking "How can I make this easy ? " Most of the tools these days are build around the same thought process. I will build a tool like Intellij but will add 2 extra features like cloud sync and another thing. But that is not what we need to do. That wont "change the game". Everytime we look at something and plan to disrupt it, we cant disrupt it by adding one more feature to a product that already exists. You need to think ground up. This also relates to people not thinking big. Its a hard problem. I understand that it is. But, someone has to go after the hard problems. I am looking for that someone.

If we look at Brett Victors inspirational videos the one thing I can take away is "Change the game". If we play the same game as before things wont change much. So, creating animations is a hard problem to solve. But, can someone change the game ? For centuries, extracting aluminium out of its alloy was a hard problem, or extracting mica. Once it was done, it changed the game.

Ask HN: Would you pay for someone to answer your StackOverflow question?
EDIT: Just to be clear. It would not be happening on StackOverflow but on a different external site.

If so how much?

Would you consider paying more if she/he would personally help you fix it by modifying your code?

Do you think this kind of service is needed?

Update:

There are many unanswered questions on StackOverflow. I wonder if money was involved maybe a large part of them would have been answered. The question is, if these questions were important to their askers, and why people haven't answered them.

I agree that adding real money into StackOverflow may ruin the whole eco-system, though I wonder if maybe there's a place for it somewhere else.

What do you mean by greater than?

Attitude like you describe is only really open to people above a certain level of intelligence. If you just don't get mathematics, language etc etc because of inbuilt limitations (yes, some people have these) then you're not going to get that far.

Wikipedia cites numerous studies on heritability, showing that IQ starts off largely environmental (0.2 heritability at birth) but ends up eventually moving to what its been genetically predetermined to be (0.8 heritability in adulthood).[1] IQ seems to accurately measure abstract reasoning abilities, pattern recognition abilities, and memory retention. That's what most people think of when they say intelligence (though there are always efforts to "redefine" intelligence to make it a more politically correct / egalitarian term - at which point, you're not really talking about "intelligence" but rather "semantics" and how you want to define a word in the English lexicon).

The IQ "debate" reminds me very much of the race debate, that race "doesn't exist" and is purely a social construct with no genetic basis. I keep waiting for someone to take a black or Asian baby and place it with white parents for it to grow up and have white skin and a pointy nose and blond hair. So far I haven't seen it.

We have no trouble understanding that the differences between, say, a sheep and a cow are due to genetics; why is it so hard for us to wrap our minds around the fact that most of the differences between one another come down to genes, too?

Methinks it comes down to the old philosophical debate of free will vs. predetermination, and the innate fear many people have of the idea that you can do anything or be anything if you only work at it hard enough.
