Yes, it's exactly what it means. He's the "manager" of his roles, and within the authority granted to this roles, he can make autocratic decisions that others can't veto (not even the "Lead Link"). And it's true for every employee in every role: they have full authority to exercise their role's authority.

Of course you need a way to modify the roles' definitions; there is a governance process for that, at each team level, and any team member can propose modifying the roles, not only the "Lead Link" (contrary to what this quote mistakenly suggests). I hope this clarifies a bit.
Like the TC article mentions, there have been/are other players in the market, though, to my limited knowledge none have been able to get a ton of traction. Honestly, I just don't see a Yelp-like site taking off country-wide, but I wish them luck. The reason is that Brazil is pretty fragmented and trying to get a site that people use in Rio-SP to be used in Manaus or Fortaleza, for example, will be their up hill battle. In the several recent years I lived in/all over Brazil, I thought many times about "what if Brazil had this or that service?" but in the cases where there was some sort of cloned-US (or even original) service that I could use, once I moved to the other side of the country, that same service was no longer useful due to the concentrated userbase.

The likely other market would be Belo Horizonte, since RJ-SP-BH are where most of the startups [1], and presumably early adopters, are.

Here is a video that will blow your mind.
ECR is not a great road to take for any distance, since it has stoplights everywhere. It's parallel to two expressways (101 and 280), so it's really only applicable to maybe a 5 mile radius, otherwise you'd take another road.

As far as I can tell, there are ~no poor people living in Atherton, Palo Alto, or most of Menlo Park, unless you count startup founders, retirees who live on low retirement incomes in $5mm present-value homes, and the like. There are poor people living in RWC (sort of), who are almost exclusively Hispanic (at least from the neighborhoods I saw; I was looking at houses in North Fair Oaks and RWC at one point.) Even the poor people in RWC didn't seem that poor, more like working class or middle class (which is poor by comparison to Atherton.)

There are poor people in EPA and Belle Haven (Menlo Park east of 101). They would be very unlikely to take ECR through Atherton, though, since 101 is closer. (they used to be almost exclusively black, now it's partially black and partially hispanic and partially pacific islander). And even there, real estate is now becoming absurdly expensive again.

There are weird poor (white, and other) people living in the inaccessible parts of Portola, but they seemed really old, or rarely left their homes, and they probably weren't actually poor, just "people who live in the middle of the woods and are kind of weird."
Not sure why this is secret. A formula would be useful, but I guess this is just a fun estimate.
Micro-managed depends on the level of detail of the "what". Engineers should be given high level directives but should be autonomous to execute them. I guess especially in a startup context where there is so much to do with too few ressources.
It's a sausage fest in college (especially upper divisions) and your social skills can take a nose dive.

The lack of social skills, assuming that you don't have one and didn't gain much of it during college, will carry over to your negotiation skills when you look for jobs.

Depending on which area of software engineer you are going in, your tech skills have a half life of supposely 2.5 years. Meaning there will always be something to learn, dev black berry for a long time now? Ha! Iphone and Android is the shizzle now. Cold fusion? Well, now, it's PHP & Ruby.

There is a decent chance you will work under an idiot that lied his/her way to where he/she is now and will back stab you (very high chance if you work in the public sector ie gov,fed,state). Ah! Politics, it's a bitch and it can be in any profession really, but I feel it's more pronounce in this profession. Especially, well the dev team is a few developers and you're like how the fuck is this guy paying more than me and I'm doing most of the work? Eventually, if you catch on, you'll quit and learn how to embellish and get better at interviews.

Ah this lead to ego! It fucking hurts that someone is getting paid more than you but you know more than them. Yeah sure you can say you're just whiny. But really, you can constantly feel like you're being underpaid and under appreciated.

This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how you could gather enough metrics from using the logo for one day to evaluate its suitability. My guess is that the daily effect of the logo on the site's metrics would be low.
Ask HN: Are JS frameworks the future of web development?
The development of server side and client side Javascript frameworks has got me thinking about the future of web development. Given that there are now well established JS frameworks for the full web dev stack, will they eventually supersede the non-JS frameworks?

With those frameworks, you run the risk of having "backend" guys who only know Ruby/Python/Java, and "frontend" guys who only know JS/HTML/CSS. I fall into this camp--I have experience in server side development (a bit of Rails, and Django), but have virtually no JS/frontend dev experience. It seems like this problem is mitigated somewhat by having both server side and client side frameworks in the same programming language (JS).

Why would someone new to web dev not want to go with the JS frameworks, since it's easier to become a full stack engineer? As someone who is still relatively new to web programming, would it be advantageous for me to learn node.js and one of the frontend frameworks deeply? Right now I'm developing in Django since Python is my favorite programming language, but I haven't gotten too deep into it yet.

Oh, it's a question about PHP... Anyway, I either use the one that's official for the language, the one that applies to the project I'm just working on, or the one that seems the most sensible to me. For the latter I normally check a few very popular projects for the language and see what they agree on.
Same for me. The author should set up some kind of exception notification, so as to catch exceptions he or she doesn't see. Easiest to set up is https://github.com/smartinez87/exception_notification

I'm sure it's all very test-driven though :)

Also, a nicer error page would be ... nicer. The default Rails error page oozes professionalism (I'm guilty of delaying error pages styling for way to long too - who's ever going to see them, right?)

No. It doesn't. Windows has one GUI and various themes for it; Ubuntu has multiple GUIs. That's what a WM is in Linux terms: A whole new GUI that sits on top of very basic graphical primitives which don't determine anything about how a GUI looks or works.

Washington Post: How the unthinkable choice became the clear path
Ok, after reading your response, I was somewhat confused, and now looking at the code, it seems like the drivers licenses are done in California is quite a bit different than here, in Australia.

It seems that in California, at least, there is a legal distinction between a 'revoked' license and being 'unlicensed'.

In Australia, AFAIK there's no distinction; if you commit an offence serious enough to have your license revoked, then you no longer have a license and are unlicensed; i.e. it's the license that gives you the right to drive, and if your license is revoked then you don't have a license any more.

It's the same deal for suspensions - in Australia, if your license is suspended, then you're by definition unlicensed for the period.

So there may be a semantic mismatch where I misunderstood you.

It would seem that in California, pretty much the only way you could get a 12500(a) is if you'd never held a license at all; in this case, it fits your assertion that Hispanics are the only _unlicensed_ drivers.
Cruise down Middlefield past Marsh and somewhere around 5th you'll understand. There are two very different groups of people living very close together.

In the daytime, workers motor towards the money to toil in the plutocrats' homes and gardens. A lot of them are illegal immigrants driving marginal toyota pickups overloaded with tools and co-workers.

Nighttime brings-out the drunkards and the criminals. The police ward off the latter and move the former back into RWC.

These folks are just like you coming to Sand Hill to pitch your startup: they want money & this is where it's at. They're the same in that some will toil & some will grift. They're different in that the deviant poor are more likely to turn to violence and theft, while the psychopathic want-to-be-rich become consultants at Accenture or KPMG.

The rich & the poor look & behave differently. A battered PU stands-out as much as an Athertonian's Fisker just 2 miles down the street the "wrong" way.

They need to be protected from one another. Atherton is way too nice to be real, yet it exists, so it has to be buffered. That requires vigilance. Bay Aryans have delicate sensibilities around inegalitarianism; i.e., you need good police who will go about the business w/o putting it on display.

Same thing in Palo Alto. It has a stark socio-economic border with East Palo alto that requires sophisticated social policing. As a Palo Alto resident (or high-tech gastarbeiter) you feel safe and secure in a shared culture of prosperity. Yet (underreported) property crime and (unreported) deportations tell a different story: safety isn't a given, it's provided by vigilant, sophisticated police & enabled by a populace willingly suspending disbelief.

Catch a glimpse by spending your lunch at the transit center or your evening smoking in any alley off of University. People-watching at the PA Caltrain socio-economic nexus radically changed my "feel" of PA.

It's hard to overstate the difference between (poor parts of) RWC & Atherton, EPA & PA, or Belle Haven/Ravenswood & Menlo Park. If you're local, it's well worth driving (or better biking) from one to another to get the sense: incredibly, unbelievably nice on the one hand; fucking shit awful on the other. My gut says: there's something really wrong with this. But my head can't figure-out what to do about it.

Our product is transitioning from closed to open beta. Among other reasons,
a) We would want to set up tracking for referrals and to better gauge the effects of different distribution channels, among other things.
b) we will have an explicit need for a traffic bump in a small window in the near future, so I would rather save an avenue like this to coincide with our other efforts. This scenario could exist for others too in situations such as looking to ride off a press story, and wanting to utilize the traffic to boost a crowdfunding campaign, etc.

Also, unsure if this is actually a meaningful place for our product, as it's a mobile app and so not as direct, but that shouldn't really hurt I don't think

Notes from a Growth conference
There are a tiny number of people who don't get licenses because they don't believe the state should have the authority to license them, and maybe a few others who don't because they're otherwise on the run for other crimes (but never got a license), and others who have licenses but are living under other identities (which isn't strictly illegal; only if it's being done to defraud. If you thought MS-13 was out to kill you, it might be prudent to give up your identity, including your license, assume another identity, and thus be "unlicensed")

There are also people who have non-valid licenses by being in-state for a long time with another state license, or perhaps a foreign license (i.e. they had a UK license, came to the US for a long time, failed to correctly get a CA license when they were able to do so.)

But those are all in the statistical noise, I think, vs. undocumented immigrants who either can't get licenses (most states) or don't (because they're afraid CA DMV will turn their records over to DHS ICE, I guess?)
In the case of California and the SFO-LA route, isn't it pretty much universally acknowledged that SFO is one of the better airports for security, precisely because it's not run by the TSA but out-sourced instead?

Don't recall who said it, but powerful disruptive innovations are overhyped in the short term but under-hyped in the long term.

That's how I feel about Bitcoin. Circulation might not be a lot, and signs probably show that is not a lot, but it is disruptive. You also have to consider that perceived value is always reckoned into the 'actual' price. It depends on what market theories you ascribe to, but it is generally accepted that current prices reflect the market's capability to guess (and judge) futuer value. So, perceived value is often difficult to 'divorce' from the actual value, especially in the case with something like Bitcoin, where it is seen as both an asset and currency.

Another thing is the continuing trend of providing off-chain transactions (through companies such as Coinbase en Inputs.io).
Yep. And in the mean time, the biggest tax evader is google and does it absolutely legit.

in Music Technology lessons (yes, that was a subject for a few years in the UK, I think it's defunct now) they loved giving us Phil Collins to analyse - he used all sorts of weird stuff noone else has ever bothered with (gated reverb, reverse reverb, short time delay on vocals, all in the same song, almost as a matter of course.)

The endless repetition is why I still sit still every time I hear the intro to "in the air tonight" trying to find the beat before the vocals come in!
Why isn't Yelp really making an effort to capture the market in other countries? There are many [0] "Yelp for Country X" clones out there. Billions of people outside the USA want to find food, attractions, shopping, etc. All it takes is one clone to take off in a country, and the window of opportunity is gone.

A friend showed me how to use Dianping (the Yelp of China) which has no english UI or reviews, and very little use of iconography in the category selection. Once a friend showed me how to sort by avg review, price, distance, etc, just browsing pictures I was able to find somewhere I was interested in going in a few minutes.

As a co-founder of Bitcast (http://www.bitcast.io - the current top listed "Kickoff"), I can say the traffic from Kickoffboost has been great!

For some rough data: We actually launched on HN a week ago and had about 120 concurrent visitors for a span of ~6 hours. I assume this link, at it's #1 ranking since ~10pm PST, is getting somewhere around 100-150 concurrents as well (because of the off timing). As a result, it seems that around 10% of Kickoffboost's traffic (10-20 concurrents) has been consistently directed to Bitcast which isn't too shabby.
I'll be interested to see what the numbers look like when traffic isn't being directed from HN.
That doesn't turn off grouping, it turns off combining.

Grouping puts taskbar entries from the same app next to each other.

Combining turns multiple entries for the same app into 1 entry. To select a particular window, you have to hover over or click the combined entry - which causes large thumbnails of each of the combined windows to be displayed, then click the appropriate window thumbnail.

"his stored passwords will be accessible by anyone using his computer with his credentials."

But this is EXACTLY Justin's point: EVEN with a master password, they'd be accessible in other ways by anyone using his computer, because it's just stored in the keychain - and if they add a master password, people will think that makes it more secure.

The solution here is to remove the show button - don't add any kind of master password - because that's just snake oil.
