Units, people! If you have $626.4 / (server month), how do you get to $172,800 / month?

You need to multiply by servers. But what are our units on the 276 number you use?

$3.99 = 276 server minutes.

or 1 = $3.99 / (276 server minutes)

Dollars per server-month. Not servers. You can't multiply by 276 and get dollars per month.
My wife is from the Philippines and her friend works for Princess cruises and he loves it (he is a bartender). He gets to travel, meet interesting people, and he makes several times what he would make at home. I doubt the experience of the staff is much different from the experience of those working the same jobs back home, or possibly better.

In this case would you rather they allocate budget to a print edition, or use that same allocation for writers?

The OP was about cutting the print edition, and I'm hard pressed to believe there were any articles exclusive to the print edition.

As some might say, nothing of value was lost.
I love two factor auth, but I don't like that it uses my phone number. I really wish I could buy one of those RSA SecurID two factor auth key fobs from any hardware supplier like NewEgg and just register the serial number of the device with Google or any other company I want to use two factor auth with.

Even better would be to allow me to register backup two factor auth key fobs and I can just throw one or two backups in a safe deposit box, safe or similar safe place.
Exactly. It was like ending work-from-home arrangements: probably a negative move for a generic company in a vacuum, but a reasonable risk for a company in trouble with Yahoo's specific issues.

If the company is performing well in a couple of years, they can revisit their policies and loosen up on things like this, because if the company is performing well, or probably means they've fixed most of their workforce issues anyway.
The whole PUA thing is about manipulating vulnerable people so you can have sex with them.

The first page has:

- Name, email, and phone number.

- "Free Software / Open Source Software Project Experience": a paragraph for each major FOSS project I've contributed to, and why those contributions matter. This section is most of what the engineers and managers responsible for interviews and hiring care about, and is directly responsible for getting me to the interviews.

- "Publications and Presentations": a list of presentations given at major conferences and papers published in journals. This is most of the rest of what those same engineers and managers care about.

Those two sections together take up the entire first page. I shrink or drop older or less relevant bits of the FOSS project experience section over time to keep it about the same length; the publications and presentations do actually spill over onto the second page, but the most important ones all fit on the first page.

The second page has:

- The remainder of the "Publications and Presentations" section.

- "Proficiencies": a list of keywords for languages, libraries, and technologies I have expertise in. Present primarily for people and search engines scanning for particular keywords.

- "Education": a couple of lines per degree, listing the degree, university, date, and GPA. Primarily for HR folks applying filters based on degree or GPA, or for managers looking for what level to hire at, although a sufficiently high GPA will successfully draw interest from engineers too.

- "Employment": Company, dates, and a one-line summary. Everything actually interesting about what I did in those jobs is on the first page under "Project Experience"; what's left is just the boilerplate.

- "Awards and activities": extracurricular stuff, academic honors, etc.

I think this is mostly targeting people already using Amazon apps and services. I doubt we will see widespread adoption - there are so many analytics apps already, and practically all of them enable mobile tracking. Enterprises like to use the same analytics platform across everything so they don't need to maintain staff and contracts with multiple vendors.

With that said, a reason Google Analytics is free is because it let's Google track users once they leave Google and enter web-sites. Or at least Google could, by using co-relating users to search clicks. They aren't involved in the space out of the pure kindness of their hearts, and Google Analytics doubtlessly loses lots of money every quarter for Google.

"I'd rather trust a specialized analytics company" - don't. If you can, own your own data on your own server. Otherwise you will need to rent your data from your vendor constantly, or pay for a data migration process later, or pay for a data warehouse and a means to explore it.

If you're a pickup artist doesn't this imply a certain degree of dishonesty and manipulation?

No, it doesn't. More than any single other thing, "being a PUA" is about learning not to be scared of / intimidated by, women. And about learning not to supplicate and do stupid shit, in order to try to manipulate women into having sex with you. The thing is, most so called "nice guys" are far more manipulative than a PUA! They just aren't as honest with themselves, OR the person they're trying to connect with.

“Because Marissa Said So”

Glad to see HN dropped the pejoritive title
Sorry, what could mean communicating effectively? Describing a 'pick up artist' as simply being a student of rhetoric seems a bit disingenuous.
I get confused by this logic because as far as I can tell the PUA community endorses manipulative and dishonest behavior, so

A subset of "the PUA community" do that, but there is nothing inherent about "learning PUA" that implies any dishonesty or manipulation. More than anything, it's about gaining confidence, learning some basic etiquette, grooming essentials, and a little bit of other stuff. It's Pareto's Law in action... 80% of your improvement at meeting women comes from 20% of the "stuff" that could potentially learn from PUAs. Better posture, better clothes, a fresh haircut, smiling more, and not being scared of, or intimidated by, beautiful women, is the heart of PUA-dom.

And to be quite frank, these days, the "PUA community" has really outgrown it's roots and become the "male self-help and improvement community". Lurk on many "PUA" forums and you'll find guys talking more about how to start businesses and make more money, than the ones swapping "routines" or whatever.

Sorry on behalf of them! I knew about the tipping culture because my grandfather was a general manager for a branch of a US based multinational company and had to travel there a lot, and my father had traveled a bit to use scientific instruments there (like synchrotrons).

But to the average Australian - we have a very decent minimum wage and ridiculously good penalty rates (like, work a public holiday and you get double time or double time and a half). Tipping is just something that is non-existent, and I think people just don't expect that the US would treat people so much worse than we do...

Interestingly, the R5 intervals are quite close to the golden ratio (1 : 1.618).

Also, I often wondered whether the US use different preferred numbers for buildings, because everything just feels a little different and out of proportion to me. However, this could also be due to the non-metric system in the US.
Yeah, there's a nice amount of variation of environments across Canada, which did help.

I was also well prepared for some isolation, with a big stack of books to read, pads of paper etc for writing on etc.

In a way I also think it was easier alone. Travelling with a friend can great fun, but to some degree it can also detract from the feeling of freedom... Because there were some friendly passengers, I never felt lonely, but I also felt completely free to stare out the window and think for hours on end. No pressure.
Maven integration - https://github.com/sap-production/xcode-maven-plugin
Considering that the company has burned through multiple CEOs already anyway, I think the case that the company was doomed if she didn't try some major moves is both obvious and compelling.

The thing I like is that she's trying both the carrot and the stick at the same time: trying to make Yahoo a better place to work with Google-style amenities, while also making staff more accountable and slashing poor performers.

She's also focusing the company much more heavily on mobile which is both obvious and necessary, but which wasn't taken nearly as seriously by previous execs.

I don't know whether it will work or not, but this doesn't seem like a "marking time" strategy at all.

I've had customers use their credit card on my online store. Buy the product. Have it mailed to their house with their name on it. Forget what they bought and initiate a chargeback. I would then give the credit card company everything they asked for. Phone numbers, addresses, delivery confirmations, emails. And the chargeback would still go through. Until I hound the customer down and explain to them what the charge is for then they finally after weeks call back their credit card company and explain everything and me finally end up getting paid.

The CC companies Do. Not. Listen. It's not "tough", they're just stupid and don't investigate. It's cheaper that way. They need you to use their card so they can make money, and we need them to accept payments so they screw us over. They need you so they side with the card holder, we sellers need them so they treat us like crap. They assume that we businesses have money to spare and can handle a few chargebacks so they don't bother with any investigating.

You losing your card, not having a pin number and someone else using it to buy products is not my fault. That is your fault and the credit card companies fault for making a little piece of plastic representing $3,000-$12,000 work without a password. Why should I get screwed over for that?

I know nothing about this site, but I went on a cruise with some friends several years back. The cruise itself was, by far, the least expensive part of the entire trip. Flying to Miami was probably the greatest expense.

If you do the cruise the way the cruise company wants you to, you'll be blowing money in the casino and (especially) on alcohol. The group I was with was composed of particularly ingenious tightwads, so we found out exactly how much water you're allowed to bring (2L per person, or something similar), bought appropriate water bottles, filled them with vodka from Costco, and each took our allowed bottle of wine.

In general, I found the whole thing to be fairly dull, since I don't care for gambling or hanging out at the pool, but it was relaxing, and a great way to get a quick view of several areas in a short time. In my case, we hit Key West, somewhere else I forget, and Cozumel.

My thought was that you'll often light from a typical angle, and use familiar (or even stylized) techniques for that specific angle. To put it in extreme terms, you might only know how to draw with that lighting.

For unusual lighting (e.g. uplit), even an excellent artist would have to give it more attention. Similar to drawing a character from an unusual perspective. At any rate, drawing several unusual lighting angles will exercise one's talents more than using the same standard one.

It's literally looking at it in a new light.

For larger displays being shatterproof seems like the more important problem to me. Scratches are already hardly a problem with glass (I get the impression that tiny sharp rocks are pretty much the only thing that can cause problems in the environment those displays are usually in, so to avoid most scratches one has only to avoid laying the display face-first on some dirty/hard surface and sliding it around) and even then a few scratches are not as much a problem as a shattered screen. Shattering is much more fatal to the device and it often only takes one or two drops and the glass shatters.

Being absolutely scratch resistant is a desirable property for a camera lens (which is also much, much smaller and thus much less likely to shatter). It doesn’t seem like such a desirable property and good tradeoff for screens, at least not as long it isn’t as shatterproof as the best glass.

In many ways I tend to think that scratches are a solved problem on mobile devices. Current glass is good enough. Shattering is not. (I’m not gentle to my devices but my 18 month old iPad has practically no scratches. Some are faintly visible if you look at it from certain weird angles. However, the glass of my previous iPad did shatter from a 1 meter or so fall of the edge of the device on tiles. Also, I see people using phones with shattered screens all the time. It seems to be a quite common occurrence.)

Yeah, improving scratch-resistance further would be awesome, but only if there is no trade-off with being shatterproof.
Good question - and I have no answer. Im just too used to ubuntu and all the default repositories, etc.

However, I primarily intended this setup for someone like me - who sets up a default ubuntu install and then finds himself slowed down. So these steps are intended to be run safely from a fully working ubuntu install.

In theory sounds good but this is just not feasible.

Couple of scenarios:

1) A runaway data generator. Somehow you end up confusing milliseconds with seconds and now you start logging 1000x more data than you intended, you leave for the weekend and find your storage is full of junk

2) Sensitive data. Felix has just inserted all the passwords and credit card numbers in the database.
You should then consider a better host. SourceForge is clearly a scamware host now; maybe ever since Dice.com took over. And to be honest, just seeing a file hosted on SourceForge casts doubts on the quality of the app.

- Most users just click OK for installers, it is like the EULA

- I am yet to see a toolbar that does anything useful to anybody; other than make their system slower and buggy. I hold a very low opinion of people (like Ask.com) who bundle things with the clear knowledge that most people are unknowingly installing their app/toolbar. Much worse than spammers.

With your extensive experience with user behavior, it is interesting that you see this differently.

I don't know about Yahoo, but what I normally associate with such drives as this, isn't actually keeping the most productive team members, but cutting pay costs. Hire new people that do the same job that people you let go are doing now, but start them out at the bottom of the pay range.

If you can cut salaries 20% and take less than a 20% cut in revenue (note, revenue not productivity), you're up in profits, and managers gets bonuses. I don't think it makes sense if the goal is maximum productivity or highest quality of development -- but it'll boost quarterly results.

I have no idea what the pay structure looks like in yahoo (or comparable companies) -- what does a talented recent graduate get vs a 20 year veteran developer?

Whatever else goes into the chips and circuitry.

> there were probably 100s of innovations just to mine and purify and machine sapphire in past 100s of years so that in 2000s we can finally produce acceptable quality tiny camera lens

"Purifying" sapphire doesn't make much sense. You'd want to melt it, get the iron (or whatever colorant) out, and reform it. It's easier to just start with pure aluminum oxide, which is what they're doing.

As far as I'm aware (and I'd love to be corrected, since gems are a personal interest), the general method of machining gemstones is to abrade them against a surface coated in invisibly small diamonds. How many innovations you want to count in the process is, as always, somewhat flexible; but it's fairly cool technology.
