I've never had an issue with the popup. It may frustrate some users, but the pros outweigh the cons by a factor of at least 1000:1 (in my opinion).

Besides, you need to test things out and see for yourself. Remember, the popup is not an advertisement. It's a special alert to let your true fans know that a newsletter is available. Whoever is frustrated with it probably isn't a good target for you anyway.
Intuntil you try to make a game and has to input physics coding or it, or you are a user of matlab...
That's not really accurate. 4 are usually college hires, at 5, other job families can split off. Engineers, Managers, TPMs, Product managers, etc. they're all in parallel. So you have Level 4,5,6,7 and higher engineers as well.
> "Open mouth smiley"

But this is ambiguous. That could be ':D' or '=D'.

As for the coding example, I cannot imagine that ending well. I mean, it's full of little oddities that don't exist in spoken language. Even look at "filePath". You can't say filePath because while in our heads, we see it like that, the spoken is 'file path'. Paths themselves are a mess to deal with since words like 'space' and 'backslash' and other 'reserved words' couldn't be used in the actual name of the path because they would have to be used in other places.

Spoken language is just way too context sensitive to work at that level. Written language is absolute, at least to a machine.
Well aware of the concept of patriarchy and the literature on the topic. No one's throwing their hands up. I just thought the article was terribly reductionist. All we can really say is "the activity of software development mirrors trends in the society it occurs within". Not really something earth shattering or sensational.

Aaaand that is why single payer means more freedom and not less, as the tinfoil/tebag axis would have it.
I have mixed feelings here. On one hand I like the idea of alternatives to IAP. On the other (if I'm reading correctly) they are putting this on top of the already existing ads/videos ads/IAP.

That they put it next to the IAP makes sense though. The user gets to see the prize (new level) and feels like they saved some money (even if they really didn't).

I learned ARPU = Average revenue per user.
I don't mind but the problem is, if two people edit the file concurrently, Dropbox won't merge them. It will just create a copy. Cloud Storage is designed to merge changes no matter how many people work on file concurrently.

Agree.
I know I already talk to myself in english when I'm reading code. Something like "Okay we have a data structure named users consisting of an array of objects. Each object has..."

The programming language is just a translation of ideas from my english language thinking to/from the computer. I don't see why it couldn't be more english like. To type it all out in that fashion would be very tedious, and even speaking it is more tedious than simply users = [{},{}...]

But with sufficient abstraction these things would become less and less verbose.
Because it can then be used for deception -- I can buy healthy food with my credit cards and buy shitty food with cash. Net outcome is my insurance rates go down but my actual risk goes up.

I have yet to see a link (credible or not) to statistics of how many people's insurances are getting cancelled and/or going up due to the ACA. I see a lot of people claiming this is happening without any substantiation.

As a totally insignificant data point, my company told us that our insurance was staying the same price this year, and we only have 166 people in the US, so it's not like we're some huge corporation that has a ton of clout to keep our costs down.

How is it any clearer? The first button says "Download for free" and the second button after entering your email says "Request Server".

The first button should say "tell me when this becomes available" and the second should say "register my interest" or something similar.
I know just what you mean. Often, when meeting people for the first time, there is so much else going on to take in and remember (their company/job/what I'm going to ask them/what they're asking me/the name of the person next to them) that the name just drops out of my head instantly.

I worked for a fairly large company that previously required your team manager to approve of you moving to another team. You could spin wheels all you wanted, but if they didn't like you for whatever reason they could immediately stop any lateral movement. This wound up pushing a lot of employees out, they'd eventually quit because they were miserable. Couldn't get shifts they wanted, bootcamps, training, unfairly poor reviews, etc.

It was one of those "who.. thought of this?" ideas. I believe they recently removed it.
Can you give some specific numbers? What does very well mean?

You can also lie about how many tickets you've gotten, accidents you've been in, existing conditions, etc.

These kinds of things are traditionally called insurance fraud, and even if it's not illegal (buying food with cash won't ever be illegal, let's be honest with ourselves), it'll be accounted for by the insurance companies.

And if your technique for "sticking it to the man" is to eat yourself into unhealthiness, then... I guess you win. Congratulations.

From the University of Washington security audit:

"The conclusion of our analysis is that many of the technical properties of DeadDrop are decent;
however, we do not believe that DeadDrop is yet ready for deployment in an ecosystem with
nation-state capable adversaries and non-expert users. The lack of software versioning,
reliance on VPN, the errors in the installation and deployment documentation, leaking of
document metadata, and lack of anonymity best practices all contribute to our reluctance for
suggesting that DeadDrop is ready for mass deployment.

Additionally, the usability of the system is sometimes lacking, potentially leading to insecure use.
For example, DeadDrop requires a fair amount of technical sophistication on behalf of
journalists (such as being able to use the GPG encryption software)6 and sources (such as
being able to sanitize the metadata in the submitted documents). We believe that this lack of
usability may lead to failures in anonymization. We enumerate the usability pitfalls we found, as
well as suggested remediation approaches in our report."

Definitely agree with this one. I'm just using their $110 USD offering - as many sites as I like, databases, ssh access... git, can deploy rails apps too if needed.

At somepoint I'll have to get down and learn how to properly secure a box and go with Digital Ocean I suspect - but site5 definitely hits the spot for me in the meantime.

Also, their support is fast and excellent.

And no, I don't get any sort of commission or are employed by them :)
Also beware of situations where there are a number of small competitors but none of them are making money.

A number of my startup ideas when I was younger surrounded areas that were technologically very cool and got a bunch of hype around smart young technologists, but weren't really something the mainstream needs (yet, I thought). I applied to YC in 2005 with an idea that was basically Google Wave, and I applied again in 07-08 for a game creation site. Both of these had a number of competitors at the time which I took to be market validation. In both cases, there was no market, and all of the competitors failed too.

Ideally you want to be in a situation where there is a big, dumb, rich company making a lot of money solving a problem that you solve better. The big company is your prey; you can then focus on how to win their market bit by bit without worrying about the much larger (and usually intractable) problem of how to create a market.

"SV types" can't solve more socially-oriented/soft problems? All of them? That's too bad, since these skills seem to be vital for things like human computer interaction and interaction design.
For me, something like Google Cloud Print is awesome. For my mom, it doesn't cut it. She bought the $250 Chromebook and is constantly complaining that she can't print her documents and wants to get a new laptop. She doesn't want to purchase a cloud-ready printer because she already owns a printer, and she doesn't have another computer to leave on and connected to her printer (which is the alternative).
"Only" able to afford two years?

A four year university in my home state is $20,000/year. Going out of state to almost anywhere is even more expensive (california is up to nearly $40,000/year), and if you do find somewhere cheaper, you need the savings for a move, which is difficult at the poverty level.

Many colleges are completely unaffordable, even working full time jobs:

"The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. If a minimum wage worker is employed full-time (forty hours per week for 52 weeks), that worker would earn $15,080 annually."

http://poverty.ucdavis.edu/faq/what-are-annual-earnings-full...

And that's IF you can find full time work, which is difficult in many areas. I had to live off of half that for several years because I couldn't find anything better for a long while. If I went to a community college, they'd only give me $900/quarter in student loans when the cost was more like $1500/quarter for tuition. So, I couldn't afford community college either, for quite a while. It was only once I was working 35-60 hours a week (it was a fulltime job, but weird work schedule) that I was able to afford to both not be homeless and attend community college. As a result, it took about six years to get even my associate's degree (between the waiting and the working).

There are a lot of barriers. I think a lot of people on HN don't realize how rough it is out there for low income people right now.

Why don't companies just ask employees what they would like to be doing, and pay them to do that? It's stupid to promote someone into a job they don't want, or keep them doing a job they don't want.
> This article is poorly sourced...

On the contrary, it's first party interviews:

"In dozens of interviews ranging over two years for my book, The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon, employees often sounded... But in my interviews with rank and file employees... No one I talked to..."

Just because Wikipedia has a "no original research" policy doesn't make first party research "poorly sourced".

In silicon valley, they just pay a silicon valley wage, which belies the fact that they are in the south bay. Consequently, managers here have constant trouble convincing San Franciscan talent to work there - they just aren't very competitive. I have not seen anything spectacular in terms of a signing bonus, either.

Furthermore, they don't increase your salary over time, so after a while, that OK starting salary drops below the average.
I wish github would work on some features that help developers write better code rather then this, which looks like it was put together by some intern.
Like the other guy did, you're focusing on the specific example, when the question and debate revolves around the general concept.

But if you really must play this game, then perhaps the fact that you believe a 6 pack to even be a worthy gift is telling of your lifestyle enough to determine risk. Maybe it doesn't matter if you give it to someone else or not, just the fact that you purchase beer a certain amount of times in a given time interval has shown to increase your likelihood of injury.

Or not, I don't know. The point is, they would figure that out. We don't need to hash out a full implementation of this technology to understand it'd be possible.

I think at this point they know we are all angry at their inability to reboot government.

I brought this up because if you were to open source government websites and IT projects, it is also doable to create an issue tracker fills with questions and issues for congressmen, no?

We have issue tracker with issue labels. A cognressman can probably create an issue tracker like that! And update CHANGELOG.md periodically to show progress!

By the way, I wouldn't contribute to government repos myself because from my observations no one takes other people's pull request or the repo just die.
+1 for Gandi.net. Great experience with them.
I think a bigger change is the JVM and .Net don't suck so much now.

Frankly, JVM hasn't really sucked since it got a JIT compiler (J2SE 1.2, 1998) or if you prefer the switch to HotSpot as the default VM (J2SE 1.3, 2000).
"any slip up in their security"? We aren't talking about storing plaintext passwords in a database here. They should be storing and sending/receiving encrypted data only. It would most likely be necessary to compromise the client in order to gain access... in which case it makes no difference whether you're using a cloud-based service or not.
I don't see why it would be a problem. People use different names on credit cards all the time. They get married, or divorced (after taking their spouse's name), without changing names on their credit cards, use their middle name as their first name, use nicknames, etc. I doubt banks care as long as you use your legitimate SSN and pay your bills.

On financial accounts where you have assets, I wouldn't want to use an unofficial name. If there's a dispute they could claim that you're not the owner, and you risk losing the assets.
Just because create and design are not synonyms doesn't make invent and create synonyms. Invented can be used as a pretentious form of create I guess, but it just makes the subject look like a tool. Edison invented the light bulb is ok, there weren't any economically viable light bulbs before. Eich invented JavaScript just makes Eich look bad though, there were plenty of PLs existing before that Eich borrowed from in his design.

Thank you. I hate having to explain myself over and over again, especially when so many people just call me lazy, stupid, etc...but it's a serious problem, and if someone with my academic chops has trouble, then that really says a lot about how awful the system is for everyone else.

I think a lot of it is that people don't want to accept that their own college degree was more a factor of luck and money than anything else. Passing classes isn't hard at all, paying for them is.
Cool. Anything else like it?

I think people learn more from success than from failure, but they learn more from failure than from doing nothing. Since typically your choice is between trying and not trying and not between succeeding and failing, your dominant strategy should be to try and let the cards fall where they may.

Aside from that, most of the people reading are in the "doing nothing" category (I'm largely in this category myself when it comes to startups, though I have tried and failed before), and so it behooves them to listen to the failures. :-)

Twitter is a one-in-a-thousand company with traffic amounts that most of us here will dream of ever achieving.

And not every low-traffic site is simple CRUD. If you do image processing, applying machine learning, natural language processing (or a thousand other things that are CPU intensive), it's nice that you can directly use one of the many high-performance libraries available in the Central Repository in your webservice.

So then look at the nationwide retail sector then and compare that to the hospitals.

And to compare a store to the hospital, you'd have to take into account gross revenue. Bet that hospital takes in a hell of a lot more than an average Wal-Mart.

I'd put good money that shrinkage is in the same order of magnitude after you take all the relevant factors into account. And if you were to take into account actual costs, rather than those reported by the hospital, it would be a lot less.

- Being against Net Neutrality
- Support for PIPA
- A marketing strategy which begins and ends with biki-girls

This is what happens when Scrum is not treated as a framework, but as the Bible. The whole point around agility (Including the Scrum framework) is Inspection + Adaption. Scrum does not solve problems - it merely brings them out in the open. It's a tool - not the goal. It's driven by the value, not the process.

A seasoned agilist would ask you to build a great product with a great value even if it breaks the process. If somebody asked you to follow Scrum to the dot at the expense of the value then s/he has a problem in understanding agility.

Wrong implementation of Agile is worse than the wrong implementation of a traditional approach!
