In a sense though, isn't household income what matters in the end? While individual income has grown, if the purchasing power of a household has remained stagnant, have things really changed?

Of course, that probably isn't a popular way to look at it, because the immediate inference is that we could realize significant improvements by shifting society back towards two-parent households, and that grates against current social trends.

Intel generally updates it's Math Kernal Library (which includes a LAPACK implimentation) with each new architecture.

If you only want to compare intel to intel and want to look at linear algebra or FFT heavy workloads, that's a great place to start.

Also, I seem to remember reading that the x264 team got early access to Haswell and so were able to start optimizing their encoding routines for it. So if there's a benchmark based on that, that would be another good place to look.
Here's a £ sign for someone to edit in.
$20 seems a bit much for a single page PDF that is, I assume, only slightly different from the classic business model canvas [1].

The page does not explain why I should pay for the canvas, why is isn't the classic BMC good for a SaaS model? What is missing?

I would wager that most of the potential customers don't even know what the business (model) canvas is.

GPUs yield a higher core density and are more efficient in certain situations. This appears to be where the arms race is in HPC these days. Every cpu maker is trying to be the first to cross the finish line with a general purpose GPU solution these days(with a traditional CPU strapped to it's back to run the os). Rumor has it that nvidia will have an arm platform soon. I'm sure Intel and AMD are afraid of this. They want to have something in the pipeline that is competitive before this happens.

The way the market is going these days, consumer devices will soon almost all be based around low power/small footprint solutions(e.g. atom, mobile, arm). Heck, it probably won't be too long before we start seeing some serious SOC solutions(what could a raspberry pi type device do in 2 years with a 4 or 6 core arm at it's core). So, that kills margins on the consumer market more or less. Or, well, at least it becomes a race to the bottom. What's left is enterprise and "the cloud", where efficiency and iops still rule. For these companies, CPU speed isn't a bottleneck, it's mostly core and io density. They simply want to run more jobs in a smaller space, not necessarily run the jobs faster. So engineering teams are starting to look very closely at GPUs as a means to get a huge improvement in core density for certain situations at the cost of having to rethink some of the software stack. Putting the GPU on the same die as the CPU makes a lot of sense from this perspective.

It'll be interesting to watch. If nvidia does have an arm platform in the works, they may win this race, though intel does have a huge advantage with being able to run multiple foundries at one. Part of me wants to believe that intel is capable of doing much more with their APU solutions, but are simply waiting until the future of the market is clearer. Once that happens, they may be able to beat everyone else simply by timing the market on newer designs(like how intel beat AMD after screwing up with itanium and P4).

Note: Having a low power SOC type solution is another side effect of all this, but I don't think that's the primary motivator for Intel's efforts here. Maybe for the atoms, but not this chip.
where are you at? even just roughly. simple answer is move to CA/NY if you want the biggest markets.

Aside from that you can do a ton of stuff right from where you are if you are happy there otherwise. I am in a small area, town of 50k people or so, and definitely not tech heavy. There are tons of ways to get involved. Get into an Open Source project, people will mentor you on those. Go to conferences, meet people etc. Basically think of all that as investing in your own sanity and future, not "oh damn that cost me 2k for that conference".
Base + bonus + stock grant basically.

Checkout glassdoor.com to find those companies. Be sure to read the reviews (especially the negative ones).

For reference, 150k base should easily get you over 200k total, if not more. 180k, and you are looking at close to 300k. 200k+ base, 400k total.

Anymore than that, you are a VP, you make your own rules.
Segment.io, San Francisco (YC)

Segment.io is a web analytics API. We let web companies install analytics once, and then send their data anywhere they need it with the flip of a switch.

Our libraries all are all open source, including analytics.js (https://github.com/segmentio/analytics.js), server-side languages, iOS and Android... we launched in January and now process over a billion API calls a month for thousands of websites.

Segment.io has four founders. Calvin and Ilya studied CS at MIT, Ian studied Graphic Design at RISD, and Peter studied Aerospace Engineering at MIT.

We're hiring our first employee, and our bar is going to be extremely high. We're looking for a full stack javascript programmer, with experience with node.js and backbone. You almost certainly know another language like Clojure or Python. Your responsibilities would include:

+ Becoming a core maintainer of https://github.com/segmentio/analytics.js, which runs on tens of millions of computers every month, growing fast.

+ Building the Segment.io app where users manage their analytics services and data. We use component, d3.js, socket.io, and node.js.

Shoot us an email if you're interested!

The contract market here is pretty vibrant. I'm on close to a 100% premium to the permanent employees sitting in the same office, doing the same work.
That would suck!
In my case, finance. It's really not hard to make $300k/yr and the sky is the limit if you learn how to help generate revenue. You can do this in just a couple years easily. The problem is that (for me at least) the work is not satisfying (or worse) and the culture is terrible. Most people don't last all that long or aren't very happy.

The other way I've earned significant compensation is by being hired at a senior level, a VP of Dev or really any very senior technical position. At a company with money, these roles can easily make $200k in base salary, and much more with bonuses/equity.

The thing to keep in mind I think is that inflation is a very big factor. Making $120k in 2003 is effectively the same as making $150k in 2013. The numbers keep getting bigger, so $200k salaries really aren't that extravagant.

And it doesn't matter how much you make if you don't save. Plenty of $200k earners save less than $100k earners do. Anyone who can save $50k/yr is going to be a very happy camper in the future, and most young people could easily do that on $120k if they wanted to.
Thanks for pointing that out; I should have made it clear. I'm curious about Orange County car chase stats.

They're not lower than in the States, they are lower than the bay area, which is a very, very small bit of the States. Also, it's dominated by a particular kind of business (VC funded startups) that have the cash and mandate to spend a lot of money on engineering salaries. These are not too common outside the bay area, and certainly not as concentrated anywhere.

> I'm kind of tired of all of these salary surveys because I don't trust them

I'm with you there. The chances of self-taught web monkeys in companies that are loss leaders making a multiple of the salary of PhD level automotive software engineers in established companies with profits in the hundreds of millions to billions range are pretty slim, so I think we can just write this off as mostly fantasy.
According to wikipedia: "Organic search results are listings on search engine results pages that appear because of their relevance to the search terms, as opposed to their being advertisements".

To me there's not much organic left in google results, due to the filter bubble, tracking and lack of transparency on the ranking algorithm. I wouldn't be surprised to learn google boost ranking of results linked to google + accounts, which makes it self-promotion of their services and unnatural ranking.

Anyways I stay away from any result which doesn't look like a result I'm used to, so no click for those google sponsored results.

SICP doesn't 'just happen' to use Scheme; the simple language from a well-chosen combination of powerful mechanisms is the kind of thing they're teaching you to design. The medium is part of the message. (Yes, you can solve the problems using another language; I used XLisp.)

On 'dialects of Lisp': it used to be standard for very different Lisp-family languages to be called that, while nowadays someone will always contradict you if you do. It seems more of a social change than a technical one to me. (I first noticed it among Common Lispers after the AI winter.)

I know someone impressive doing real work with Scheme (though I recommended they try Lua). I don't know whether you're right about the Scheme ecosystem, as I've been elsewhere the last 15 years.

I just heard this on the radio and it's definitely worth listening to, but the podcast will only be available on Sunday evening.

The story follows a software patent that was bought by Intellectual Ventures (Nathan Myhrvold's patent troll company) and subsequently used to sue a number of tech companies. Most of the companies settled, but two of the companies fought back and... I don't want to spoil the ending for you.

The first part of the story is a repeat of a segment that originally aired in 2011, but left a lot of questions unanswered. The second half ties up the loose ends. The current episode is called "Part Two", but actually includes both parts.

Keep in mind the housing price. Making 200k on a 1.5 million house is significantly poorer than $150k on a 300k house. All your extra incomes goes towards interest payments and then some.

You know things are getting good when recruiters email out the salary numbers on initial contact.

calling someone a troll is basically bullying: it's using a label to shut someone up, implicitly identifying with the majority ("you're not one of us; you're not normal; hence you're wrong").

the way to deal with this kind of bullying is to call them out on it. show that what you are is normal. hence my post. because bullies aren't going to attack someone who has status and confidence, who shows that the behaviour they were criticising is reasonable.

sure, some trolls are simply wrong. but if they're wrong you can show that. there was nothing wrong here. just a bunch of cowards who saw a chance to bash someone else in the name of being offended (and i suspect, depressingly, with the hope that the person they were being offended for would recognise and reward them - because famous entrepreneur on hn. eugh).

London cost of living isn't so bad.

Public transport is cheap and abundant, competition keeps prices down for restaurants and shops, and there are a lot of free events to keep you busy.

The main expense is in the accomodation, which most people in their 20s combat by sharing houses in undesirable areas. (This is a problem UK wide though as they have managed to keep our housing bubble inflated unlike in the US.)

London is expensive for tourists though. A ride on the Heathrow Express, a few nights in a 3* hotel, and a spin on the London Eye would be enough to make Zuckerberg wince.
How to market your app yourself and take it front page
Well now you know that to keep hackers, technical minded and competent people out of your website you just have to register to google authorship.

I was going to say exactly this. As an ex-H1B myself working for a top firm, I can guarantee you I was in no way top of the line at the time. I was very much equivalent to every other average USA top 5 CS school graduate working with me at the company, and that's to say, not particularly impressive in any way.

Moving to SF/SV and working with the startup and open source communities has really opened my eyes to what a "top engineer" really means, and I sure as hell wasn't one (or surrounded by them) at BigCorp.

Real top talent is really hard to get hold of, and the dozens of thousands of H1Bs are absolutely not that top 5%.

The way I see it, H1B is a way to get slightly cheaper decent labor for big enterprise firms, and you occasionally luck out and get a few great gems in there. Even better if you can lock them in to your company for 10 years waiting for the green card to get approved.

This is amazingly bad statistics.

The author is using self-reported surveys of STEM majors who didn't work for an SV company to answer the question of what SV companies are looking for. There are giant assumptions: 1) they wanted to work for an SV company 2) they're not deluding themselves about why they didn't get offered an SV job. A much better source would be to actually ask the SV companies why they didn't hire someone.

As someone who has been actively hiring for the last six months, trying to grow our team from 5 to 10, hiring is really damned hard. You'll get a mountain of crappy resumes, and a few really good resumes. Some of the really good resumes will turn out to be really good people, some of them will accept offers somewhere else, and some of the people that initially appeared great will test poorly, or you won't click with them personally, or something else.

Aside from technical ability, startups also need to look for a certain personality. At my own company, we're strongly influenced by the Valve Handbook. We like to hire people that understand the problem on their own and say "I think this is the most important thing to work on". Not every STEM major has that capability. We also like to hire generalists, or people who aren't afraid of learning how to do the things that need to get done. Both of these reduce our hiring pool.

I know founders of funded SV companies who aren't in the country legally. One in particular has a pHD, published papers, and is quite literally creating jobs. The O visa is a possibility, but it's a ton of paperwork. The H1B is tricky to use for founders, because the visa requires that their "boss" be able to fire them. Also, the H1B window is short, and the next opportunity to hire someone on an H1 is something like Fall 2014.

I've not given offers to candidates because their visa situation was too risky. As in "I'm in the country legally today, but I have to go back home for a few weeks, and I may or may not be able to get back in".

Every company I've talked to is in a similar situation, in terms of being desperate for hirable, highly skilled engineers, at any price.
