In this framework, you don't take the blame for others' mistakes. You take the blame for your team's mistakes, and take responsibility for fixing them. You explicitly do not place blame on the person who actually made the mistake, nor do you imply that you should not have hired or trusted them.

Obviously, all this assumes that it actually was a valid mistake. In the rare case where the failure was caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct, then you should take responsibility for hiring and trusting them, and then you should fire them.
Here's the important bits:

A 40 percent excise tax will be assessed, beginning in 2018, on the cost of coverage for health plans that exceed a certain annual limit ($10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for self and spouse or family coverage). Health insurance issuers and sponsors of self-funded group health plans must pay the tax of 40 percent of any dollar amount beyond the caps that is considered "excess" health spending.

So, you cherry picked a bunch of stuff here.

1) Neglected to state it starts 4 years from now...a lot can happen in that time.

2) Neglected to state 10K limit is for individuals, 27K for families.

3) Confused excise tax and tax exemption.

I don't think anything here refutes my point or makes what I said incorrect.
I read that as project manager not product. I'm glad it turned out not to be about project management, tracking people, managing budget and schedule.
I'm sorry but nothing here is worth money. It was a little silly when I thought it was an open-source project, as a paid product it is ridiculous.
Does this work for C++ apps? Like Cocos2D-x.
I'd say that the ? for explaining the CCV should be a hover effect rather than a click. In every other CC form I've ever dealt with it's been a hover effect.
I mostly agree, CouchDB's data and query model only works well for a subset of use cases and anything past that subset (the line at which is vague and only really understandable after being burnt) makes life hard. I do think that the query model and general capabilities can (and will) be vastly improved, but its already taken too long.

However I dont agree that many (or any) other things are suitable alternatives for replicatable json stores, in this case where replication means peer to peer stores that can operate offline for any period of time.

My particular interest these days is building web applications that work well offline, its why I build PouchDB, while its entirely possible to build a home made sync solution on top of your favourite database, its an extremely hard problem and something I see app after app try and fail constantly.

If I didnt need the ability sync data that would work offline, I wouldnt use CouchDB (pouchdb/cloudant etc), but since that is what I am interested in, right now I think its pretty much the only choice.
Funny, I just got off the phone with someone I work remotely with. We communicate asynchronously regularly. And that's great. But sometimes there's no substitute for a 10 minute phone call to discuss a technical topic.

The amount of time it takes for two parties to draft and write responses to technical points can be quite high, and the back-and-forth required to correct misunderstandings can take several round-trips. Talking out loud, simultaneously, can allow for much higher bandwidth.

It also engenders basic empathy, which is a big deal in teams.

Our protocol is usually to ping the other person with a message to see if they can chat.
Looks good, and I like the mistakes and solutions section.

Can you expand on what you mean by this? What cultural benefits are you talking about?
Captious, nit-picky behavior in a professional context usually signals to me that there is another problem that is worth attending to. e.g. A person raising a series of petty objections in a meeting may have deeper problems with the plan that she can't yet articulate, or is being put in a position of apparent but not real authority (that is, "the ship has sailed" on a decision without real agreement being reached).

Telling someone to more or less shut up might pay off in the short term, as in make a particular meeting go faster, but in the long haul you're ignoring a pretty telling symptom.
How Potato Chips Inspire Magical Software
IE has Adblock Plus.... https://adblockplus.org/en/internet-explorer
Doesn't work under Chrome/Linux (older version 26.0.1410.63). The first group of digits in the card number field show up correctly, but then something goes wrong when the script tries to insert a space for formatting.

The first digit in the second block shows up correctly, but then the cursor is positioned before the first digit/second block, so that the remainder of the block gets inserted in front of the first digit, completely messing up the card number.

I linked to graphs of two better indicators. Did you read my comment past the first sentence?

- Number of transactions exclusive of very low quantity transactions, approximated by excluding very high volume transactors.

- Overall value of transactions, converted to a more stable currency, in this case USD.

Both of these indicate increased usage approximating tracking the increase in bitcoin's money supply.
Ask HN: As an English iOS Developer, how can I make the move to NYC?
Hi,

Like I said in the title, I'm an English iOS Developer. I visited NYC a while ago and really enjoyed it. I'd like to return :)

My issue is finding a job with a company that takes on foreign workers. I took a look at the usual job boards and most ads either flat out say you must be able to work in America, or don't say anything at all.

After reading around HN for a while, it does look as if a number of companies do support H1B visas (at least around these parts), but elsewhere I can't tell.

Does anyone have any advice on how to go about all this?

Thanks

According to investopedia[1] - An investment theory that states it is impossible to "beat the market" because stock market efficiency causes existing share prices to always incorporate and reflect all relevant information. According to the EMH, stocks always trade at their fair value on stock exchanges, making it impossible for investors to either purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices. As such, it should be impossible to outperform the overall market through expert stock selection or market timing, and that the only way an investor can possibly obtain higher returns is by purchasing riskier investments.

At the very least, if not me, Warren Buffett has shown that the market does in fact exhibit large-scale persistent opportunities. You just have to be patient. I don't think "arbitrage" is actually the relevant term here. It has a very specific meaning that isn't simply a stock being mispriced. Really though, the market offers deals all the time.

FWIW, I don't have Buffett's track record, but I currently have 20 stocks in my portfolio most of which I've held for several years. Of those, 19 have made money and 1 has lost a small amount, and on the whole I've beaten the market nicely. I could just be written off as lucky, or as about to lose lots of money, but how do you explain Buffett? He has a track record of consistently beating the market by wide margins for 50 years. Seems like that wouldn't be possible under EMH.

Help me understand why Facebook taking every dollar out of the market was a bad thing for them. I understand why Wall Street wasn't happy about it (since they expected a pop they could profit from & had to buy stock to fulfill their obligations... and why should taking a company public be an entirely risk-free profit opportunity anyway?)

But, why was it bad for Facebook? Sure, their stock was below the IPO value for almost a year, but employees almost certainly had their options priced well below the IPO price, right? What other ways can a slightly lowered stock price hurt a company in the year after an IPO? Genuinely curious about this.

You said: That the affordable care act polls higher than Obamacare should make that clear to you.

So I meant during the polling... one name already had bias baked into it by using the word affordable rather than the word subsidized. Not many people are keen on subsidies when you call them subsidies. But if you just say something is now more affordable and don't tell people it is more affordable because it is subsidized, you have baked in a bias from the start. So naturally that bias is going to be reflected in more favorable polling results.
You can limit Docker to have CPU weight shares, and also a memory limit. The file storage limits are due to Docker 0.7, and for now you can ulimit them.
Not me. Limiting your code to 80 characters is stupid. Code != prose and you read it differently, so the prose rules don't follow.

Skinnier prose is easier to read because of the sequential nature of it, which is why I do think comments blocks should be limited to 80-100ish characters. But code? No.
Docker uses LXC which supports memory and CPU limits

I tried to get it to work, but it's really hard. Imagine you barely know the language and you barely understand how binary libraries work in linux and you're getting these errors that you've never seen before. You ask for help but it seems like you're the 2nd person on the planet who's ever experienced this issue. You read the post of the 1st guy, but for some reason his solution doesn't work for you and you don't understand why.

Most people in #haskell told me to switch to linux which seems like a ridiculous solution. I documented my struggle as another HN comment you can read here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5615683
Within the team, I think that is entirely appropriate. People thrive on, and should be given responsibility. Individuals should be rewarded or disciplined appropriately. That is part of the manager's job.

Outside of the team, ultimately the manager is responsible for delivering. That is their job, and with a good manager, the buck stops at them - without exception. If they don't deliver, it is their failure - even if that failure is a result of their reports failing to deliver, or unrealistic requirements from their superiors. Perhaps the appropriate internal action for that failure is to discipline their reports, but ultimately they are the captain of their ship, and should be the first one on and the last one off.
My observation is that I wish the dots that are place holders in the box, turned into numbers as I typed them. When I went to type in a cc, the text box went blank, leaving me aesthetically with the same cc form as any one of them on the web.
I'd make the expiration dates text fields. Having to scroll through a list of numbers in a drop-down is a pain.
If you read the release info, they're rolling auto-updates out over a few weeks. You can go to the IE website and download now if you want though.
Here is an alternate way to interpret the scenario in your second paragraph:

Putting on your headphones at the office and trying to get work done is seen as a signal that you need to concentrate. You find yourself shut out of critical decision points meetings because people needed to make a decision but assumed you were deep in thought and couldn't take an interruption. Balancing these two needs is hard.

If you're opposed to wasteful spending by NSA, TSA, wars on terrorism and drugs and a thousand other programs and Obamacare, where do you propose spending all those trillions?
It's $299 (that's the beta-price). But I don't think it's expensive. I think it's quite correct. If a developer value his time, he should probably buy it. That is if he finds that it has advantages over the free alternatives.

That's likely. Gold treads that line occasionally in certain parts of the world; and it depends on whether future technologies disrupt the high demand for it.

I mean 'greater' in the philosophical sense. Attributing worth by components alone is narrow. Animals, we are: greater than the sum of our parts. It's greatness not in terms of expense but in terms of people valuing the worth and utility of an idea and its embodiment. For instance, many people spent and spend money on bitcoin and mining, at a net loss, not out of a certainty of return. Rather, they love the idea. They want to support the cause.
In my view, this money is well spent. It auguments and helps space research and exploration and puts India - a developing country - out there with the developed nations to boast of a successful space program. Skeptics will never die. Money can always be spent on something else. But for India, as a country, demonstrates that the country has a lot of potential and that it has smart people to pull the job off.

I think it is probably the right move.

He has a way better chance of selling 100 licenses for $300 each versus 3000 licenses for $10 each.

The smart move would be to actually do some amount of outbound sales to sell licenses. There a ton of random vendors out there doing $100k+/year that have broken credit card flows. Find their checkout page, save it do disk. Spend 10 minutes integrating this verification into their own form, and cold-email the webmaster with the zip'd up demo and already done integration. Let's say it takes 6 hours to 40 of those. If 10% to convert, you're making serious money.
I think the scientists involved would be totally fine with skepticism about technical decisions that they have made on such missions. I would argue that they might even appreciate it when it comes from people who actually understand the subject (instead of having knowledge worth one wikipedia page). But what might discourage them (and disappoints me, for being a citizen of the country in question) is the lack of trust that is being put in space exploration and petty cost-benefit analysis being used. The same analysis that has been refuted a million other times on hundreds of other occasions in all countries and continents.
"JavaScript libraries like jQuery aren't well equiped to handle form input, so Creditcard.js uses the more robust and comprehensive Google Closure Tools, the heavily tested JavaScript framework behind Gmail and Google Plus."

really? you're gonna do jQuery (+ all validation plugins) bashing for what? 5 fields + a luhn algo? please, take your snake oil elsewhere.

"the heavily tested JavaScript framework"? you must not follow jQuery's own pedantic development and testing, i would argue it is more heavily tested than Google's we-only-support-latest-2-versions-of-any-browser libs.

if anyone needs to do client-side cc pre-checks, there's a pretty up-to-date regex list [1] and a luhn implementation [2] which will get you 99.9% there. if you feel that the 0.1% (but probably much less) is worth a monthly licensing fee, you now have options :)

The only way for coins to evaporate is for the wallets to get lost. It happens. The thing people seem to get stuck on is that a coin isn't divisible. It is.

CSS was originally designed only for inline and block layout in a traditional single column of text with left or right floated figures. It has never had any features specifically designed for full page layout, but people have done lots of hacks to use inline, block, margins, padding, and floats to achieve full-page layouts they were never designed for.

There have been improvements in CSS2 and CSS3, like adding table layout so people could at least use the table layout features on div elements rather than abusing tables for layout, and CSS flexbox that work well for standard UI widget layouts.

But the big fixes to layout have been harder to specify and agree upon. They've been in the works for many years, but it's taken a while to figure out how they really should work, and which parts should be fundamental. It looks like it's getting a lot closer; the CSS Grid Module http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-grid/ is being treated as the fundamental part of the stack on which others will build, it is being worked on by several browser vendors and is in highly active development, and several browsers have implementations in development. It seems to draw elements from IE's experimental CSS grid, as well as the templates of the earlier template layout proposal.

So, yeah, for many years CSS has had a big deficiency in specifying page layout. It's going to get better very soon, however, once the CSS Grid Module is finished and implemented. I'd imagine we'll start seeing implementations within a year; here's Webkit's tracking bug for it: https://bugs.webkit.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=60731&hide... here's Chromium's: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=79180 . Mozilla doesn't seem to be working on it yet, though they have had some preliminary discussion: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616605 . IE had implemented an experimental Grid Layout proposal that the current work is based on, so while the syntax won't be exactly the same, they have most of the underlying functionality working: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh673533(v=vs.85)...
