Sorry for late reply. For example, Any.do Cal will exit, if you do not grant access to addressbook.

I do not download crapware either, but I don't have much trust into bizdevs trying to monetize anything. This is the first solution that I would expect.
I don't even think that mirroring images would require reversing bytes, unless you want to mess up the color components also or something...
First you shouldn't have to hide under a new throw away account.

Second, since MIT initiated the proceedings I wouldn't call that neutral either.

Tip etiquette is always a funny thing. As a customer, you always want to show appreciation for the lowest level workers. Also, as a customer, you know that spending $170 at a small business is almost a gift in of itself (admittedly, more for the business owner than the employee).

But, was the employee expecting to make 20% tip on a $170 order? Does one normally tip more than $1 at a food truck, if at all?

Was the business owner expecting to post big profits for the day and not compensate the worker a bit more for that day?

At the end of the day, the worker may have a right to be upset watching everyone greatly profit but himself.
Is it expected of you to tip when you aren't getting waiter/waitress service? When I get a burrito at Chipotle, I don't tip. I stand while ordering. I pay at a counter. When I'm finished eating, I bus my own table. These are the things I always assumed you were paying a server for when you tipped them.

When I order delivery, I always tip generously because somebody actually got in their car or bike and came to my house with food. That's extra effort in my book. Same goes for when I eat in and have a waiter or waitress waiting on me, refilling my water, etc.

Certainly $170 is a large grilled cheese order, but more generally, I'm asking if it's expected to tip when you are not getting service beyond having your food handed to you.
It's pure cheekiness. He is making the point that we're currently doing all sorts of things that would have seemed backwards to some researchers even 40 years ago.
> Does your boss pay you a few extra dollars if you were extra productive and cheerful today? No?

You're unfamiliar with the "bonus"?
I only tip when I'm served actually. Maybe this should be a poll? It sounds like what happened here was a food truck order.

I've had $100+ orders from Chick-filla before, but I don't think I need to leave a tip for those...
I'm not sure but I came to think of the HATEOAS constraint of REST.
What is a "millenial" anyway, someone who is currently 13 years old or younger?

I can't help but feel that he should have just taken this as a learning experience and shut up. At least he shares his name with a comedian so potential employers may not discover that he likes to publicly shame customers...
I'd have fired him too, trying to shame one of his biggest customers.

Not sure why he thinks he is entitled to a tip, a tip is voluntary. It is a gift.
I think it's a useful exercise to remove the Internet from the equation here. This is equivalent to grabbing a megaphone and letting all of your customers know "Hey, look at Glass Lewis & Co! They didn't tip us for a big order!"

If I'm a customer and I hear this, this is what I could be thinking:

1. Jeez, that's not very nice.

2. Wait, I don't tip when I order from any food trucks. Am I gonna get called out tomorrow for it?

3. I'm going to start bringing my lunch.

Especially since this is an industry where the cost of replacing a PTE is especially low, it doesn't seem like the owner did anything wrong besides protect his revenue. He didn't even try and coax an apology out of the guy.
And he could have had kids, which are expensive to raise and send through college.
riskScore is a combonation of hard coded scoring, along with what I'd equate to a bayesian filter.

In a way, riskScore simplifies the calculation, because it's a percentage instead of an arbitrary number. Depending on your business, I would consider starting at 30% for manual review, and 90%+ for auto refusal, making adjustments to the threshold from there.
Interview with Bob Metcalfe, worth watching (11 mins.):

http://standards.ieee.org/events/ethernet/index.html
I've had bad experience with company calling, namely, it was TechNet people. (I guess, that was more of customer retention, though.) But still, they demonstrated one of worst example of how to call their customer. For example, they would call me every other day until I respond, and they never left a single voice mail.

If you're going to call me...
1) If I don't take a call, leave a voice mail, telling me who you are, and leave a number I can actually call back, and 2) Don't check back on me after I already said no.
Twitter hiring for possibility of IPO
Wait, why is it resource intensive? If all you need to do is reverse a fixed-size integer, wouldn't you just wire the inputs to the outputs backwards?
If you're a large institution, and you want to sell an enormous amount of shares in some stock, the price of that stock should plummet if there aren't buyers available at the price you want to sell. Having a market maker buy those shares is hiding the fact that a huge position in the stock was just dumped and no one wanted to buy. Sucks for the company, but if you're not attractive to buyers or to the seller, then your market valuation was already wrong.

This would also curb the behavior of the large institution. They shouldn't be able to dump all of their holdings of a stock like that at a high price if there aren't real buyers at that price. The institution should be forced to chase the price down to pick up enough buyers for the whole position. If they still can't move it all, then they're holding a worthless stock. Sucks for them, but investing is a gamble and sometimes you lose your investment. You should've invested in a more valuable company.

The theme I'm getting at is that I think that market makers definitely alter the dynamics of the market, as they claim to, but contrary to their claims they do it in a way that benefits themselves and other financial institutions to the detriment of non-financial-industry investors and the companies and other real-value instruments (bond originators, mortgage borrowers, etc) being traded.
Several years ago while writing a PSD parser in javascript, that comment block saved my sanity.
Not leaving a tip on a $170 order is pretty uncivil as well. His boss ought to have told Lewis and Glass to go fly a kite, they're not entitled to immunity from criticism.
Could someone upload this to youtube, please? vimeo is unwatchable on old/underpowered devices.
Kid's going to have a tough time getting hired now.

Not only did he make the mistake of shaming a customer online, a poor customer service practice in and of itself, but he went on to repeat that same mistake by writing an entirely unapologetic article about it.

Why would I want to hire someone that doesn't know how to bite his tongue? He seemingly lacks any of the necessary social mores for interacting with even moderately challenging customers, a skill I've seen better mastered in your average drive-through window.
Same here. To me, this has little to do with tipping—since tips are, after all, optional—but the author is using that as a wedge to gain sympathy.

The bigger issue is that if you are employed, you represent the company you work for and shaming customers via Twitter is never appropriate.
My advice is to ignore thoughts about what you don't want to do.

Focus on thoughts about what you do want to do. Figure it out, what your idea of success is over the next 1-5 years (probably part of a plan of success for your lifetime). Measure success in your own terms, not those of your parents, peers, or anyone else.

Boil your 1-5 year down to some basic actions, and move to complete those actions.

It's not easy to ignore outside pressures, but I think it's important to make an attempt at being truly happy. Some people's measure of success might be to make their parents proud, and so they should follow a course that makes that happen.
APL has its own codepage? I have to say, that's a better and simpler way of avoiding success at all costs than Haskell ever found.

Not that I dislike the idea -- on the contrary, I'm inclined to conclude from my excitement over this and Haskell that I dislike success...
To be fair, he also did that. And I personally think he should have been fired for that, too -- many people customarily only tip for table service, and asking someone if they meant to not tip is rude.

Unfortunately, it's a tip -- and there's no obligation for someone to tip unless they feel it's deserved, especially if there's no waiter or delivery involved.
Oh ok.

I was wondering how comes the audience (and video) seems so "current", but the content looks so dated.

I'd say that this is the wrong strategy - the said developer has to be proficient with: backend development, frontend development, app development (on 2 platforms!), and have some solid design skills. Basically, if someone like that existed, he'd most probably be a rockstar beyond your price range (and who might not even be interested to work with you). What you will most probably find is someone average at all those tasks (I'd say average is the best case, jacks of all trades are tricky to evaluate).

What I'd advise:
* limit your hiring to a really strong backend developer and implement a solid backend API that can be used by all your frontends
* hire two good web/app shops for the rest - there are a couple of very good ones out there, do your homework and find what those are
* if you choose to go the single developer route, check Phonegap Build https://build.phonegap.com/
* maybe in time hire a frontend dev and/or a designer

What are you guys contributing to the startup? I assume it's domain know-how and business. If that's the case, you should probably also look into enhancing your marketing skills (to be successful you'll also have to get into sales and customer support but this will be later I think). Check PG's last article regarding this topic (i.e. 'what founders should do'): http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

Good luck!
> I get the concept of the ORM, but I don't really plan to switch database anytime soon

not sure if you get the concept of ORM, because switching databases is not what ORMs are primarily designed for, it's more of a common feature / side effect that may get invalidated when you use unsupported dbms features.

> and I have needed for the flexibility of having "no ORM".

Cities pay for their own police. The goal of cities is to avoid the appearance that the city is dangerous, to encourage investment and more taxable income.

I'm not saying that we don't need checks on the system, but to say that university police don't provide any valuable service is ridiculous.
Your visual language looks a lot like labview. I'm on a phone on a bus and haven't dug in too far, but have you used labview before?
Look, not everyone is going to use 100% util. of the 50Mbps internet connection, infact only a very, very tiny percent of users will, and they are better off getting a business grade contract.

What wmf is saying that the competitors will also offer "50Mbps", and to 99.9% of users, the internet speed will be exactly the same. A single netflix movie will download at 50Mbps, however if Google User A were to host a video streaming service, he would find he had much more consistent speeds than Comcast User B.

Now given that information, you had to choose:

A.) Comcast "up to" 50 Mbps for $29.99/mo
or
B.) Google 50Mbps 24/7 for %49.99/mo

Which would most user choose given that 99.9% of users will never use or need 100% util. of their connections?
I think that is part of the issue. Nobody really knows if you're supposed to tip at an artisanal grilled cheese food truck. If it was Chipotle you wouldn't tip. If it was a hot dog cart you wouldn't tip, but you also wouldn't ever order $170 worth of hot dogs. Do people tip for big orders at Shake Shack? If not, I'd say you don't tip at fancy food trucks, either.

It gets trickier here in the future because if the business is using Square and you pay with a card there's always a tip solicitation screen before the signature screen. This has caused the unintended effect of me always paying for my third wave coffee in cash.
Which article is for intermediate and advanced?
I'm still not sure how you'll make LightTable work (well scale), hopefully it involves a new programming model to make the problem more well defined?

We had some great discussions at LIXD a couple of weeks ago, wish you could have been there. Everyone seems to be reinventing programming these days. We are definitely in competition to some extent. The race is on.
If food or drink is carried to anywhere that I am sitting, I tip, otherwise I don't (except perhaps coinage that I don't feel like carrying.)

The exception to this is that I tip bartenders when I am standing at the bar/counter. I attribute this to my looser attitude towards tipping while drinking, since I absolutely never tip baristas in otherwise identical situations. This sort of tipping isn't hard and fast for me though; one of the places I use to drink was a "pub" inside of a Wholefoods (the situation was constructed to get around state laws about selling beer. A building inside of a building with it's own cash registers, beer on tap, some seating and bar nuts, etc). You would walk to the walk-in fridge to get your own beer then walk it over to the counter to pay, so I never tipped there.
Why no icon/bookmarks in Chrome?

Rover, A "Dogbnb" Site, Raises $3.5M And Nabs Commercial Promotion From Petco
> IMHO, this headline & article is sensational and almost a straw-man argument.

No, its really not. Google was a very strong proponent of the freedom of users do use connections as a dumb piple that was written into the FCC Open Internet rules, and is now acting in a way directly opposed to that in favor of a ISPs power to blanket ban all server use (and, on top of that, based on their apparent behavior, also the power to adopt such a blanket ban and then enforce it selectively to only actually prohibit server use that the ISP has other reasons to oppose besides the mere fact of server use, which then serves as an end run around the transparency provisions of the open internet order as well as the neutrality provisions, since the real substantive rules are not disclosed.)

This is a fairly breathtaking flip-flop, and the headline is quite accurate.

> Like Comcast, even if Google says no, just go ahead and do it anyway. They'll probably not bother you unless you're rolling your own Netflix-clone or something, in which case you really should upgrade to business-class or get on those cloud providers

Avoiding "they'll probably not bother you" guesswork is exactly the point of the transparency provisions of the Open Internet report and order, and the specific ISP-based prohibitions of lawful applications that had occurred that the FCC cited as motivating the neutrality provisions included IPSs banning specific server software (notably, P2P filesharing software), so its pretty clear that blanket server bans are within the scope of the problems the neutrality provisions are designed to address.
Because this generation is the most something something entitled something something ever. They are so something lazy and something unmotivated. Let's all laugh at those something something something something Millennials with their Twitters and their Youtubes and their Facebooks. Something something get off my lawn something something damn whippersnappers.
One thing worth noting is a lot of companies don't allow you to expense tips -- meaning that someone would have had to pay $170's worth of tips out of their own pocket. Since it's not table service, there's a good amount of debate on if a tip is even customary.
Agreed - I tip only if I'm actually getting service from a human beyond just the putting-together of my food.

Perhaps this is dysfunctional of me, but if you bug me about a tip, I'm definitely not leaving you one (that hasn't happened yet though).

That said, I don't think anybody deserves to lose their job over a tweet, given what happened here. However, if this guy's boss asked him to apologize and he refused (which sounds like it would have happened), then by all means, open fire.
He's as good as he ever was!
Agreed. If he wanted to talk about the problems associated with jobs based on tipping, or why the minimum wage isn't high enough, or any number of other issues related to the US service economy I would definitely be sympathetic, but when you earn tips at work, you don't get to complain that the tips your received were inadequate (except perhaps to your coworkers). You do not publicly question customers about their tip generosity in any public forum if you intend to stay employed, let alone Twitter. I worked in food service jobs for years, yes I know the money is bad and the work sucks, but the solution to that is getting a better job not shaming your customers and embarrassing your boss.
We tip because servers have a separate, lower minimum wage to the rest of food service. I don't tip at places that don't have servers.
If you try to reinvent the wheel, you will get another wheel. I think what Bret is talking about there is wondering about if we could create airplanes and spaceships perhaps!
I received one of these type phone calls from a company who had recently purchased an antivirus company we are in contract with so they were sort of in startup phase.

We were having major issues so I was happy they had called out of the blue promising to fix after I explained (we had no support contact info after the acquisition, old numbers were just cut off with zero notice to existing customers). After a month of emails, conference calls, and remote sessions we wound up back at square one with a product that does not work.

The kicker: he tried to upsell us to their new SaaS antivirus after being unable to fix our problems! Then they stopped returning our calls/emails leaving us with a broken product we spent a lot of money on.

Bottom line is I'm no better off for them having followed the advice given here. I think they didn't care and that initial phone call was only a sales call.

Please never call me ever again, you are scum the same as pop up surveys on corporate websites. If I have a problem I will call you.
Training searches from conversions (self-improving searches) is kinda interesting. Elasticsearch is an amazing product but it can be hard to configure, especially for beginners.

Edit: spelling
If you define N<=8 from the beginning, then there exists some constant that is the maximum time the function will take. That makes it O(1).
Shouldn't you change up your strategy after, say, the 100th resume submission? It obviously wasn't working out!
I don't get it, why are you afraid of scooping yourself?

In the same way that HN frowns upon stealth startups, shouldn't we frown upon 'stealth theories'? If your thoughts are novel and deep enough, revealing something about them will only increase interest in your future talks, since you are definitionally the foremost thinker in your unique worldview. If the idea fails scrutiny in some way, you should want to hear about it now so you can strengthen your position.

What's the downside, outside of using mystery to create artificial hype?
> On the other hand, in a tipless restaurant, they aren't paid based on merit, so maybe they won't be as motivated to do a great job in the parts of their work that require concentration and diligence.

So should we conclude that as a general rule the chef isn't as motivated as the waiters to provide good service? This sounds to me like bullshit.
Yep. "We need to think hard about . . . consider the past . . . the reigning paradigm . . . in fifty years . . ."

YES! YES! YES! I CAN SEE IT! KEEP GOING! YOU'RE A GENIUS! TELL IT, BROTHER!

"Visual programming . . ."

Oh, for God's sake . . .
Apple also supports USB 3.0. go nuts with it if thats what you want, but they are not madefor the same kind of applications.

For some professional enviroments Apple still considers Thunderbolt to be useful. Its sad that they are the only ones thinking this way becouse it truly is a good solution and having more brands on board will probably push the price of cables and docks down, but if we are going to point fingers I think Intel is the one we should point them to.
As long as they don't stop a simple SSH server then I'd say it's ok.
Can you attend Splash in October? I know academic conferences are probably not your pace, but there will be some good talks and it might be worth your time for networking with some of the academic PL types.
