The real email address given at the job portal is timesjobs@timesgroup.com where as this email was from timejobs@timegroup.com and the update url on which I was supposed to click looked suspicious...

when I googled the name Eva Reddy the links that came up included http://www.timesjobs.com/Mailers/Featured/july08/timesecurity/ which was a fraud alert .

Anyway, I forwarded this email to the timesgroup contact email address.If any of you get similar messages, be warned.
Thanks for the all the answer, Patrick!

FYI Dubai _actually_ allows you to set up a company there (like a startup) and issues visas for yourself.[1] The company doesn't have to generate any revenue. In addition, there's no tax (corporate or personal) in Dubai, and the UAE in general.

It's a good option to consider if you want to live in a modern city without taxes (it comes with its own catches though).

[1] You generally apply through a free zone authority (e.g. DTMFZA). They require you to rent an office, and pay a license -- which can be expensive. But there are multiple free zone authorities in each emirate, and you it's possible to find cheap ways to set up a company & issue visas. The cheapest I've found is with the RAK free zone authority:

* The company license + rent = $5000 per year. You don't actually rent an office, but rather get access to a nice office for a few hours a week. This is useful if you want to meet clients in a nice setting (outside your home).

* A work visa - valid for 3 years, costs $2000. That's a recurring $2000 every three years.

Overall, it's a good deal due to the absolute lack of taxes. I haven't heard of a lot of startups in the Dubai area though.

Everyone gets innundated with marketing and communications, so the things you say about your product / company have to be maximally valuable to you. I think, the goal is to use marketing to:

1. define a market,
2. define yourself within the market.

If performance isn't a differentiator, talking about it doesn't help to further define your market or yourself within it. It becomes noise and hurts the clarity of your product.

Python vs Ruby, however, defines discrete boundaries between what your product is and isn't with respect to the differentiators your market cares about. This makes the idea of your product / company more clear.

A small set of direct, differentiating messages can be internalized by an audience. A broad set of tangential messages are hard for an audience to adopt.

Regarding traps, I struggled for a while with getting a robust and simple way to kill backgrounded scripts on exit. I would have a script do stuff like "sort bigfile & pid=$!; runlongtask; wait $pid", and on Ctrl-C I wanted the sort command to stop too. The trick is to use "kill 0", which kills the non-interactive script and its subprocesses (see "man 2 kill"). So say you want to both remove some temp directory and kill all subprocesses on Ctrl-C, put this at the top of your script:

trap 'rm -rf "$tmp"; kill 0' EXIT

How the QE works is that these trillions and trillions are pumped from the FED directly to big zombie banks to help them stay afloat. As big banks spend these money by investing in bonds, equities, VCs, whatever, the economy as a whole starts feeling better, I agree. And the prices rise too. The problem is that the last ones to receive it still have to pay harsh inflation tax even though they didn't get much out of the benefit. It works like this (money creation):
FED --> banks --> whoever banks loan money to or invest in (investment banks) --> VCs, real estate, homeowners (from your example), etc. --> whoever these folks spend money to. The poor gets poorer in that scenario, while rich get richer (and I'm a republican here, mind you)

So, to answer what you said -- newly created money benefits those who are first to receive it. If the owner of the printing press (the Government) makes it such that group A receives the money first and then decides how to spend it, then the group A will benefit at the expense of everybody else. If group A decides to spend it on people in group B then these folks will mainly benefit as well. And then group B spends on others, so on. The last one to receive it is the big looser. If the Government policy is to hand over the newly printed money to the healthcare companies - healthcare wins at the expense of everybody else. If the Government decides to spend it on the Travel industry - these folks win while we all get hit with the inflation. Etc, etc. It's not really rich vs poor debate, it is who gets the freshly printed money from the FED first is the one who benefits at the expense of everybody else.

That's why inflation is bad. Inflation is the reason why you see the gap between rich and poor - worlwide, not only in the US - getting bigger. Because somehow the FED always hands over newly created money to the banks. And I'm not a socialist saying it's bad on moral grounds - far from it. I'm saying that's a sick economy. The FED should be abolished and money should go there where the markets want the money to go. Without being influenced by politicians and their agenda. That's what - to me - true republicans hail - free economy. The FED needs to be abolished. And as can be easily shown this money creation process will create bubbles. If newly created money goes to IT, IT has a bubble. That's what happened when the FED printed in 1990s to go over Savings and Loan Crisis -- all the newly created money created IT bubble. To fight off the results of that bubble bursting they printed even more -- that's what caused to Housing Bubble. And when this one bursted (they always burst) - they created the US Treasuries bubble. The Ultimate Bubble. The Wholy Grail of Bubbles. Bubble in the reserve currency of the world. Bubble in everything across the spectrum. I'm not going to sit around in the US and wait for that one to burst as well.

If Google was doing this where the attendance was even 33% women I could understand a bad reaction.

But I think it's more like 3% in reality?

The syntax of php was inspired by Perl (and C). Perl was inspired by sh/sed/awk.
Personally I think this seems kind of sexist.
I would highly doubt that this would go down so well if it was "schools offering grants to men to encourage them to become teachers". Assuming that there are more female teachers than male.

There's no good reason that we should treat men and women differently just so that we can try to force each job to be 50/50 gender split. Giving women some exclusive opportunities is ultimately still discriminating on gender and two wrongs don't really make a right here.

I see your point, it's clear and has plenty of logic to it. Then I guess that the same argument will apply to my medical records, tax returns, GPS coordinates of my car, GPS coordinates of phone, my pay-per-view TV consumption, the who/when/where of the phone calls I make, etc.

>Imagine if we had these kind of views of, say, the streets of London in 1900? This is worth doing for history's sake alone.

For one, yeah, "what if" we had these kind of views for the streets of London in 1900? I doubt many would care, same as not many care for 1900 music, 1900 books, 1900 photographs and such. Some scholars maybe.

Second, what the parent said goes beyond that. Essentially he says, the people of 2200 could have the streets of 2100 fully 3D imaged, but empty of life, with people of 2100 mostly staying at home and merely doing VR walks.

Now this might sound far-fetched and implausible, but not much more than telling 1900 people that in 100 years there would be cities were people rarely walk in public to go about their business but mostly go around with their cars.

What I got from article:

Author is:

- unfriendly towards Elon Musk

- unfriendly towards people who voice ideas of what the author thinks is not their area of expertise in general.

- fond of high speed trains.

- thinking that Elon Musk wants to kill trains to sell more cars.

... oh yeah, and he has some concerns about Hyperloop estimates. Mainly that cost and disadvantages are underestimated.

Also somehow author managed to overlooked the fact that Elon Musk delivered some stuff to International Space Station, most likely at fraction of NASA cost which consist of very experienced people.

If experienced specialist tells that something in his area of expertise can be done. He's most likely right. If he says something can't be done, there's a fair chance he's wrong.
So essentially asking for idiots to give them stuff they will profit from for free...
No you could not. The steel tube will expand and contract as temperatures change. Along most of the route, that longitudinal movement of the tube will be in the 10s and 100s of feet, which means that the "valley" could be anywhere on the tube according to temperature.
This list is so good, I should memorize it to the point when I can look at what I'm doing wrong and shout out one of your numbers! I've made many of these mistakes (#1 in particular).

Here are my top picks by number referring back to the article, for some of the sections (YMMV of course!):

PEOPLE: 1.

FUNDRAISING: 12.

MARKETS: 18.

PRODUCTS: 24 (and 27 which to me is a subset of 24)

MARKETING: 32, 31 (I wonder how RethinkDB or companies like it can do 32??)

SALES: 40

DEVELOPMENT: 45 (and 46 which is a subset of 45)

The tube is considerably larger than the vehicle, so really it's only the smoothness of the bottom part of the tube that is important, not the precise dimensions. And the surface the vehicle flies over doesn't need to be steel - you could line the bottom half of the tube with a wax, or something similar, and that would be much easier to smooth to the tolerances needed, and re-smooth if it suffers any damage.

In fact you might be able to handle some thermal expansion (at least seasonal, not daily) that way - release some clamps on a telescopic section, adjust, reclamp, melt and re-smooth the wax.

It's not hard at all to come up with speculative transit ideas with some high-level engineering guesstimates. It's sort of a hobby of a lot of people. People have even sketched out plans for this particular idea (partially evacuated tube transport).

Implementing them: yes, that's harder, and most transit ideas fall down at that stage. Implementing them in a way that comes anywhere near the original optimistic projections is even harder (see: maglev).
Nice idea, give the repo an I'll give it a push =)
If I identify as a female but still look like a male can I apply for this?
I think some business models only make sense at scale. While the caveat does apply to facebook (they probably could have been a profitable niche student social network) occasionally I see businesses that it just doesn't make sense to even start unless you plan on getting really big. Examples would be PayPal, Google and Spotify.
They are taking it out at the ends. Assume a fixed point in the middle, and you have some 1000' of movement at either end. That should be feasible, but the tube needs to be designed for very significant longitudinal movement through the pylons, and the design needs to take into account the possible lateral loads on pylons from having to bend the tube away from the geometry it has at the baseline temperature.
When I hover a variable in the debugger, is the value displayed now? This missing feature is the main reason I use Chrome instead of Firefox.
There are plenty of body modifications on show at the tech conferences I've been to. As for LGBT, that's not usually a visible thing, unlike the massive gender imbalance (I actually went to a conference a month ago which was entirely 100% male).

> 1. Machines scanning your email doesn't violate privacy

Depends what the machine or the operator is doing with the result of that scan.

> 2. Even if it did, you consent to it when you sign up for a Gmail account

Gmail users consent to scan from Gmail but if google holds in court that consent is implied to the automated processing of emails then someone might think this content extends to any machine touching the mail on its trip to the recipient. Which is not the same as "scanning mail content to get useful keywords for better ads".

I wonder if google is allowed to scan mails it has received but the user hasn't yet opened. It means google has access to the user's pen buddy mail without that pen buddy's consent. I agree consent from the user is given when he reads any mail that include or not his correspondent text But that correspondent might be using another mail provider and my point is that he hasn't given explicit consent to google to scan its mail... the one allowing that is the gmail user.

What happens if I say to my correspondent "don't share this" and he opens the mail. Has he betrayed me by sharing that mail with google ? If google has indexed that mail content before I (the gmail user) had a chance to read it... did google violate my correspondent's privacy ?

Is sending an email to a gmail address an implied consent to have mail read and indexed for ad targeting ? Excluding necessary and really automated non-profit machine analysis such as white listing, anti-spam, virus, domain verification, stp check, etc.

Automated processing (for making sure it's delivered) of emails certainly doesn't imply scanning content to build a social graph and an ad profile.

This is pure sexism,

Where are the grants for males? This is giving women an advantage over males wanting to get in to the field. And they are getting an advantage because of their gender that is sexism.

If women want to work in tech there is nothing stopping them, the issue (i believe) is that females are generally more attracted to social based working roles rather than tech problems. Example on avg men speak 2000 works a day (google facts), women speak on adv 7000. Females are drawn to more social enabling roles, where are men prefer to play/fix/tinker than be social. I do not understand this need to have balanced male and females in all roles when it is proven that we are biologically different and that male and females look for different things from employment. in fairness, males and females have very different base priorities.

Now becuase of hte above post, I will be labeled as a bigot and or Chauvinism male, oh well

Which is one of the main reasons Google has no serious competition in search except possibly in China.

It is also why the rate of innovation in search isn't moving as fast as it can be moving.

If Google opened up (unlimited) web API access to their search interface, to say a large city for a year or two people would really get a taste of what innovation in search looked like.

And of course it would be in Google's interest cause search as a platform or marketplace is where the future of Google really lies. All the other advertising empire defending distractions like Android, Chrome and YouTube are really sideshows.
