Letting others tell you your price is the weakest negotiation position to be in. No wonder it's been holding steady at 76.

Does this guy show up to a job interview and when they ask for salary does he respond "you tell me?"

Your worth is a constant projection. Learn how to convince people of it, and he'll increase his rate three fold.

There's also tastekid.com for recommendations in general. It does a very good job with musical artist recommendations in particular.

I searched "Don Caballero" on ifyoudig [1] and got a few good results, but also some very different artists, like Mogwai and Aphex Twin.

I disagree with your mistake #1, and therefore also with the second one. In ARC, dealloc is done eagerly. So, I don't have a problem with unsubscribing in dealloc.

I dislike that receiving the notification mutates global state though. I can't clearly articulate it, but that's why I think the caller should have explicit control over when the behavior is active. I think notification subscriptions that last for the lifetime of the object should probably be related to the object's internal state.

Finally, I went to the clang docs regarding timing of dealloc, and as I read it, they shoot for immediate deallocation, but let it slide for local variables:

Precise lifetime semantics

In general, ARC maintains an invariant that a retainable object pointer
held in a __strong object will be retained for the full formal lifetime
of the object. Objects subject to this invariant have precise
lifetime semantics.

By default, local variables of automatic storage duration do
not have precise lifetime semantics. Such objects are simply strong
references which hold values of retainable object pointer type,
and these values are still fully subject to the optimizations
on values under local control.

Rationale
Applying these precise-lifetime semantics strictly would be prohibitive.
Many useful optimizations that might theoretically decrease the
lifetime of an object would be rendered impossible. Essentially,
it promises too much.

A local variable of retainable object owner type and automatic storage
duration may be annotated with the objc_precise_lifetime attribute to
indicate that it should be considered to be an object with precise lifetime
semantics.

Rationale
Nonetheless, it is sometimes useful to be able to force an object to
be released at a precise time, even if that object does not appear
to be used. This is likely to be uncommon enough that the syntactic
weight of explicitly requesting these semantics will not be burdensome,
and may even make the code clearer.
I wonder why they gave audio tracks to all those chunks when they could instead be smaller video-only files. Just stream/buffer/sync the full audio track independently.

Actually, that argument is pretty universal. Even MRAs are sort of making that argument, only they claim the reason is some sort of weird feminist conspiracy, something that really makes no sense at all.

I would consider the culture of working oneself to death generally harmful and strictly policed gender roles can play a very dangerous and enforcing role there.
So that's what - 30 million male users, 1 million female, and 11 million spam-and-scam bots?
First time I read this I honestly thought they were talking about a helicopter painted green...

I wonder if this can allow for bigger sizes. The most common use cases for helicopters (transporting people like for medivac) can't seem to be filled by this. I did hear once about IBM using a helicopter to fly in a technician to some server farm to fill in a "on site in 60-minutes" contractual clause with a client.
That is a valid point. However, there are many campaigns that are no longer active or have relevance. The learnings from that can be made public.

Alternatively if someone has the expertise in this field can start a new campaign and show how a campaign should be built for a new product. I am sure there will be a wide audience which will be willing to pay significant amount of money to learn from this.
Great pretty handy. You even got auto complete, kudos.

>my utility company demanding that I stop making ice during peak electric demand periods.

I think this statement communicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the energy use management implemented by the SmartMeters, or an attempt to villify a fairly clever project that has the potential to save tons of electricity.

For one, the SmartMeter system is entirely voluntary, and can be taken out at any time. For another, at least where I live, it applies only to A/C, and only will shut off one time, for one hour, once every week during peak usage.

Please do not present promising technology like this as some kind of Orwellian spectre of tyranny. It's really not.
If your gas price changed on where you drove and a handful of government agencies were kept apprised of your location at all times and sometimes the car just refused to take a certain street, you might start having an interest in what's inside your car.
20 minutes flight time, constrained by battery technology. They say it's 'conceivable' that there could be a considerable improvement in battery technology over the next few years to allow up to an hour of flight.

I hope so - both for cars and for mobile devices a 3x improvement in battery capacity per unit weight would be transformative. Imagine an iPad air at half the weight again, or a Tesla Roadster with a 750 mile range.
Awesome site! I'll definitely be coming back often.
Only if you explicitly go to https://<site> - if you type <site> directly into the address bar you might end up at http://<site> which usually redirects you to https://<site> - but if you are on a compromised network you could get an incorrect response for the address of <site> from the DNS request and therefore go to a server that servces http://<site> with a redirect to https://<something-very-similar-to-site>. If you are not paying close attention you might just assume the green highlight in the relevant part of the address bar means all is well, where you are in fact accessing something you were not expecting but which looks like what you were expecting long enough to collect some useful details (such as your account credentials) from you.

While I can't get a cert signed for facebook.com (at least not without very expensive bribes or other human factors engineering) but I could get one for faceboolc.com easily enough and if you aren't looking closely that might fool the eye. It wouldn't catch everyone, anyone going direct to https://<site> would be warned as you suggest, but it could catch some out.
Nursing is a well-paid profession that offers flexibility and good benefits.

Fishing can also be a very well paid profession (look at Deadliest Catch for example) but the challenges, hardships, and stress are extreme for those challenging fishing crew jobs.

Weak shit.

There might be very slight natural differences in variance of ability, which would explain why more men come out at the top and bottom. I don't think there's value into coming in to that argument on either side. At any rate, the evidence seems to indicate that the gender disparity (at the relevant IQ level) is at most 2:1.

Going 100 steps further and justifying the good-ole-boy network that has taken over VC and Silicon Valley is another matter entirely.

I often wonder, when there is a massive password breach if anyone outside the tech world even really knows about it, even if they are affected by the breach.

I mean most people don't really understand about web security or computers right? So if their email gets "hacked" they think "hackers" magically get access to their computer/email/etc. and Adobe, etc. isn't at fault.
If they're thinking about how much it will cost, you haven't done your job, and you shouldn't be charging them $10k+.

In fact, they should be thinking about how much money they will lose out on if they don't hire you.

Your mission, as a provider of services, should be to increase the wealth of your customers. This means that you need to find a way to make them more than $10k.

If your services won't be creating more revenue than you are charging, then you probably shouldn't be doing business.

This also means that the more value you are able to provide, the more you are able to charge.

What's $10k when you're building a business for your client that will generate $10k many times over?

And yes, you should be building your client's business. NOT their website.

If they're thinking about how much a website will cost, you've completely failed in selling them a vision.

If they're thinking about how your partnership will grow their business in a whole new way, then you are on the right track. And they won't be thinking "how much will this cost?" They'll be thinking "wow, I'm excited to earn this much money."

One quibble: the article says that the ubiquitous surveillance cameras "have little to do with crime prevention" and cites a single case in which they weren't useful as proof. In fact they're constantly used to bust hit and runs, muggings, etc. I agree with Franklin's "those who would trade..." quote but its dishonest to pretend that this kind of surveillance doesn't help catch a lot of crime.

That's certainly a valid opinion, but I believe you may be doing yourself a disservice by not trying to use Haskell in some of that work you do. However I can't say that for sure yet, I'm still evaluating how useful Haskell is for me in my "real world" tasks.

Thus far I've been able to accomplish things rather easily, but I don't believe I've written enough to form a solid opinion yet.

As far as the Haskell compiler living outside of that set of axioms and assumptions my program has been proven with, that is something that does needle me a little but it seems to be a smaller hole than most languages are working with.
I can not speak scientifically about what you're asking, but I can theorize. The headphones that I have cover the entire ear and have quite a bit of padding. Simply having them on your head lowers the volume of ambient noise by a pretty good bit. I suspect that the engineers that designed the headphones took the dampening properties of the physical object into account and adjust the out of phase volume to compensate. I haven't felt any kind of discomfort or pain that is typically associated with loud noises.

They seal well enough that sometimes I swear I can feel a quick pressure change if I remove the headphones quickly enough. That bit could just be my imagination, though.

I like this a lot. However I would add one more powerful thing. Take the existing technology you have (open source, in-house, etc.) and make a mobile prototype for them in one of the meetings. As you talk, you can whip out your phone and say you've been throwing some things together.

That'll put you ahead of everyone else who has done nothing but talk and it will let the customer start seeing what the vision could look like ... and start CRITICISIZING and RECOMMENDING things. And that's the point at which they are emotionally invested in YOUR service, because they are now thinking about what to change in your mockups and how to use your prototypes.
I think Greg is too close to the events: I still mostly don't know what happened when Obama used Mixlr. Can anyone help out? Some specific questions:

>Unfortunately the call was marketed and promoted as a “conference call” ... which does happen to be what Mixlr is intended for

Okay, so what is Mixlr for? I poked around and found out briefly, but I'm still curious what Mixlr allows that they didn't use and could have. What did you mean by "nor to the extent of what Mixlr allows"?

>This led to some pretty mis-set expectations and disappointed users which wasn’t a great tone to recover from.

How do you know users were disappointed? Do you have any data, or at least anecdotes, that you could show? Do users rate their experience, for example? How did you recover? And how did you decide that you recovered already?

>Even 10 trolls are a lot louder than 30,000 supporters

What actually happened? What features enabled a few people to effect the experience of the other listeners?

>Note to self... disable comments

I gather that disabling comments is not a feature available to the broadcaster? Maybe it should be; are you considering adding it? What other changes will you be making as a result of this experience? How will you "do better next time"?

>the press are now all over the OFA team

The write up makes it sound like the whole event went smoothly, yet you're also saying that there are negative reports in the press. I read the DailyMail article, and it sounds possible that they are exaggerating by citing the minority of users who couldn't connect. What is your takeaway here? Do you have to be perfect in such high profile situations? Or are a few errors expected? Are you getting flak or losing credibility because of the press, or is it all falling on the OFA team?

> the call was flawless for the vast majority of those listeners for more than 99% of the call

Are more details available? Maybe it's just me, but this sounds wishy-washy (99% always sounds to me like "a lot, we swear!")

> we think we can do even better next time

Great! Is there going to be a next time? And, more generally, have you noticed any effect on the call on your user base?
A typical day at the Snapchat office
That is an awful lot of fallacious reasoning packed into one sentence.

What evidence do you have that this guideline is arbitrary? It will need to be pretty compelling evidence given the overwhelming evidence showing higher click through rates with underlined links.

Where do you get "top-down" from? Was that simply chosen from a list of sufficiently vague insults that can be tacked onto anything without having to justify them? Who is this top and how are they forcing this down?

What evidence do you have to support the notion that usability guidelines become incorrect due to age? How many years does it take for a guideline to go from right to wrong? Can they be preserved in some way to increase their shelf life?

How do you know I think they are unquestionable gospel? Nothing I said indicated anything of the sort, you have never met me, and know nothing about me, so where could you possibly have gotten that idea? Do not feel compelled to create motives or positions for me in your imagination, if you would like to know how I feel or think about something you can simply ask me.
Chrome Dev Summit 2013 -- Live now
At one point I was writing a small custom DS platform for a client with a big corporate MS it staff. They all had their microsoft books on their desks relating to their job responsibilities. Any mention of something that didn't have a ms or cisco logo on it, was instantly meet with disapproval. Long story kinda short, I failed and lost out to another vendor, because i couldn't convince the IT guy I had been partnered with that Java and javascript weren't the same thing. I was having issues with js on ie9, they read it as incompetence; little do they know (or not now for that matter).
I just came across a variant in the wild -- a Quora comment -- which puts the noun as the thing to be explained rather than the explanation:

That was the point if the question, though. "If God does not exist, then how come physics?" And the answer is, "You can just leave off the 'God' part and just ask 'how come physics?'"

I wonder why "how come [noun]" is recognizable as sort of the same thing.
IT's white-collar whereas the jobs you're talking about aren't. Apparently there's never been a huge amount of feminist interest in getting women into male-dominated blue-collar jobs or in working-class women in general; it's an old and fairly well documented issue.
My point is that we should have to disprove equality repeatedly, consistently, and summarily before we accept inequality.

The standard for proving the hypothesis of inequality should be extremely high.

All people created equal until summarily proven otherwise, and even then still treated as equal in every way that matters.

Interesting theory as well. The final statement seem to be not backed up by the arguments presented.

I would love to see this theory getting more researched. So given that the original article used just numbers and assume that the time derivative of these are flat, you're suggesting that the time derivative is not, and I feel like there must be stats backing this in a more.. cited manner.
I don't think they are arguing that the government should not be able to collect metadata for suspected terrorists or criminals. This sort of collection could go through the normal channels.

My understanding of the argument is that the mass collection of metadata, from every phone number in America, has not provided any security benefit. For those who feel that sacrificing liberty for security is acceptable, sacrificing liberty to gain no security is probably not.

This site finds similar artists to the one you search for. It has no reason to expect you'll like The Offspring when you entered Symphony X.

It's like telling a friend you like Band X, and they say "Oh man, if you like Band X, you'll probably like Similar Band Y! or Similar Band Z!" It would be odd if you said you liked Jay-Z and someone recommended The Clash because they're so different, even though it's not uncommon to like both.

Dish-washer is actually one of the devices I'd most like to be internet connected. Unlike a washing machine, the dishwasher is a cleaning implement that's I always keep loaded and ready to go. Detergent in the dispenser, full of stuff to wash. So being able to activate it remotely is handy. Also, getting a message to my phone when it completes would be handy. Same with washers/dryers - notification that the cycle is over and user intervention is required would be handy.

Remote status information on my oven and smoke-detectors and furnace and water-heater and water-detectors, while expensive, would also be fantastic peace-of-mind for the worrywarts among us - at any moment you know if your house is flooded or burning or whatever.
It would be next to impossible to track down the majority of users, and I doubt each user would like to fork over more personal info for just $10. Paid money would be very small vs amount of accounts.
