this person is characterized by being completely fearless (as is typical of psychopaths)

Everyone is afraid of something. Psychopaths are still people. If you believe someone is fearless, it's a safe assumption they either hide their fear (when they feel it) extremely well, or you simply haven't encountered it yet.
The article assumes that the best people to hire are twenty-somethings that want to live in the city. What about catering to the 30 and 40 something senior engineers?

If they move out to the suburbs, it's so they can afford a nicer and larger place. Silicon Valley is still ridiculously expensive and mediocre in terms of amenity. They tend to go to places like Portland or Austin rather than pay city prices to live in a suburb.

Cool project, and I love the "because we can, and because it's cool" aspect of it, I'm just curious if I'm missing a use case for "why".
Down here in one of the Southern California suburbs, I can do the same 15 min bike or 40 minute walk to my office. Our school districts are excellent as well. There's no bus or train, but the parking is reasonably ample and free. (It's a 6 minute drive.)

For that, though, we lack virtually any sort of night life, and have very few non-chain restaurants/stores/etc. It's a great place to raise a family, but horrible to attract the "20-something Ruby Rockstar" developer, despite the 4-year university down the road.
Dubai also has access to near-slave labor from desperate foreign guest workers. You could not build anything near the scale of Burj Khalifa in SF for $1.5 billion. I'd estimate more like $10 billion, and it would take 3-4 times as long to build.

Also, you have to take into account the cost of the brushed aluminum panels to seamlessly cover the entire building, the cost of rounding off every corner in the building, and the enormous Apple logos visible from any direction.
Is there any evidence that the NSA distributes any proprietary information about Petrobras or other foreign industries?

I've given a serious look at moving from Seattle/Redmond to somewhere in Oregon outside of Portland. I'd love to live in Eugene. As a runner, that place seems like Disneyland. But as you say, the town doesn't seem to have made much effort to be even a very good college town, let alone have much else going on. I could still live there, but tech jobs are a bit slim.

If anyplace in Oregon were to be Boulder, I'd say Bend has the best shot. Granted, it's an outsider's point of view, but I think it's closer to mountains and at a bit of elevation. Seems like more athletic stuff going on, bigger cycling community and the like. On the downside, it seems as if that main road through town becomes more and more of one giant strip mall. Job-wise, seems like there a few more opportunities than Eugene.

Portland? Plenty going on there, and between Seattle and Portland I'd choose Portland. Seattle wants to be quirky and hip, but doesn't pull it off as well as Portland, IMO. Portland's smaller, too, but seems to have enough going on to satisfy my tastes.

In the end, though, I could find a new job next week in the Seattle area. I lose a job in Eugene or Bend, I'm screwed. That's okay, the Seattle area is nice, too.

That's an idealistic view. The US has seen immense success in the past 100 years or so by funding universities for research and at the same time still providing a "reasonable" amount of academic freedom for professors. It attracted the brightest minds of the world and gave them the resource to study what they wanted to do. And you propose throwing that away for an absolutist principle?
Written documentation does have the advantage of being persistent, and supports an unlimited producer-to-consumer fan-out. However, documents have a pretty lousy bandwidth and knowledge retention rate compared to face-to-face communication. If you are working in a small team with low staff turnover, face-to-face beats written docs hands-down as a knowledge transfer mechanism. On the other hand, if your staff turnover is high, or if your team is huge, then you absolutely need to write everything down. I am working in a small team, with low turnover, so face-to-face works best for us in this particular instance. (We still document what we do pretty well, though, with both regular source commentary and tools like Doxygen, but as a matter of professional pride rather than necessity).

It's actually simpler in some ways, because we know that "a" must have arity 1. What we know is that "a" should be a function which takes a "b", that "a b" should be a function which takes a "c", and "a b c" should take a "d".

As a practical consideration, this rarely if ever becomes an issue, and if it does, the type checker will tell you straight away.

Type annotations can make clear what isn't intuitively clear with a function's signature, and since the correctness of the type checker is rigorously proven, I don't see anything particularly wrong with "relying" on the type checker.
Yeah... That comment wasn't about form. Thanks for the upgrade from generic nonsense to personal insults, though.

I'm a recent CS graduate, who only used IDE-s and Sublime Text so far. I have only heard about Emacs and vim when I started my internship. I tried it but it didn't really felt good using it.

Can somebody tell me what are Emacs' benefits over IDE-s and ST for example?
Don't install any plugins. Emacs is definitely usable out of the box. One of the attractions to it is that it's a meta-editor environment that you can use to build any editor you want, but you don't have to. Only bother installing a plugin if you have an itch to scratch, and you'll be fine.

There is absolutely no way this could advantage one trader over another... none.

I don't think this is right. Many traders run technical strategies that incorporate trading volume. A trader using the consolidated tape is at a disadvantage relative to another trader running the exact same strategy who uses the full feed.

For example, consider a simple predatory trading algorithm (someone trying to buy ahead of a big player who wants to move lots of shares). If a big player makes a bunch of trades in 99 share lots, they will completely sneak past the predator.
Part of his critique is that they do use terms that people are familiar with but which are misleading, like "return".

1) I think you want to compare apples to apples. Linking up validated primary key relationships should be faster in OrientDB. I am not sure how you handle other types of relaitonships.

2) exactly. The tradeoff is that SQL lets you easily do ad-hoc analysis (which isn't an important use case for a lot of applications). But also in SQL you do have to know about foreign key relationships at insert/update time to validate those.

any suggestions or any feedbacks?
Here's the problem with that approach: It takes a long time and you are invariably going to talk to a lot of people who have money and nothing else to contribute. The only type of money you want as an entrepreneur is smart money. Just because someone is a VC it doesn't automatically mean they have value beyond what they might be able to contribute financially. Not a put-down. It's just a fact.

If I assume that, on average, each of the 100 VC pitches you are suggesting require, say, five hours of work that means 500 hours would be devoted to this effort. The truth is likely a much larger number. If I have to take that approach I would much rather bootstrap by using some of the smaller opportunities I've identified (Kicstarter being an interesting domain for such projects) and work my way up to the larger projects.

I am serious about business. I'd rather talk to five well-qualified people than engage in endless dances with those who will only waste your time. I am not saying this out of an enlarged ego. I am saying this out of experience.

How do you know which category they fall into? Well, experience in business is a big part of that.

While I can't dispute the wisdom of being leery of a manipulator, I can't help feeling sad for anyone in a situation like this that actually does change.

Keep in mind that natural selection does not select for traits, it selects against them. The first question you need to ask is not, "is there some advantage?" but rather, "what are the disadvantages?" Not all traits exist because they are advantageous; many may persist because they are not particularly disadvantageous.

The second thing to keep in mind is that many traits form a spectrum (particularly psychological traits). While the endpoints of the spectrum will likely be very problematic, there may one or more areas in the middle of the spectrum which are advantageous. Furthermore, it may be advantageous to have a variety of the trait in a population.

When I look at the code that calls the GPG binary, in the python lb at https://code.google.com/p/python-gnupg/ it seems to be reading/writing stdout/stdin.
It doesn't appear to be using a socket connection, or any other non-typical way of accessing it.

return Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
def _read_response(self, stream, result):
Internal method: reads all the stderr output from GPG, taking notice
# only of lines that begin with the magic [GNUPG:] prefix.
etc

In trying to gpg in my apps, having a library which lets me generate a pgp key in memory, read it in to a string, write it out to a string, and sign/encrypt strings or binaries would be optimal.

I don't want to have to worry about where the .gnupg home directory is being created.. I don't want any files stored. I don't want to access any keyservers, I'm doing all the key verification through other channels.

Essentially, I'd like to be able to use GPG more like NaCL/Libsodium.
For (1): You're right that an option is to compile the VM itself to asm.js (since the VM is usually written C/C++ code; JITs are an obvious exception since they generate machine code at runtime). This has already been done, e.g., for Java [1] and Lua [2]. What is meant by "supporting GC languages" is translating GC objects in the source language to real JavaScript objects so that the JS GC may be used on them. For statically-typed source languages like .NET/JVM, the proposed Typed Objects extension to JavaScript [3] could be naturally integrated into asm.js to describe classes. This is all a little ways off since Typed Objects needs to be standardized first. Also, the lack of finalizers in JS would limit the fidelity of the translation.

For (2): yes, it is already being worked on [4].

Not being something the average Joe can participate in isn't by definition bad. There are lots of things the average Joe cannot participate in (for example, charging others money in exchange for legal advice, or performing surgery) that I assume you are in favor of. In some cases it's not optimal (requiring bar passage and a law degree to be a lawyer is arguably just a method to restrict competition in an area where all of the necessary material is publicly available, plus law school notoriously does not prepare you to be a lawyer), in others it is (the consequences of an improperly trained surgeon, or pilot are disastrous).

I'd just drop the formula altogether, I think. If at the end of the day, the numbers are just worked out so that you and the employee agrees the salary is about right ("I want $x, so I guess I'd better get a 1.3x experience multiplier"), then just make "work out the salary such that you and the employee agree it's about right" the policy. The transparency keeps these negotiations simple and fair; for example, pushier people won't get more raises than their shyer colleagues because everyone will notice and act accordingly (including you, who will find it easier not to give pushy people those raises when they're posted on the company website).
In ML, they are all different functions as well.
This is more than a terminal in your browser. It is an HTTP server that serves a Javascript-powered terminal connected to the box. You effectively have a secure shell connection encapsulated in HTTP(S). Perfect for restrictive environments.

The green space of the future Apple campus is incredible -- it would be very hard to achieve that in the city.
Okay. I'm not sure I understand why that form of linking would be significantly faster than JOINs when you are properly indexing everything (or significantly faster on INSERT/UPDATE, for that matter).

To the second, it sounds like if you're willing to give up a substantial amount of the flexibility that SQL gives you, you can achieve performance gains. Isn't that true of any RDBMS, though? If you go through and denormalize heavily, you can make similar tradeoffs (maybe not the exact same ones, so there could be cases where a graph DB would be better, but it's hardly the blanket "joins are bad" that seems to be implied by the original post).

If HFTs were all 100ms slower, I wouldn't care. But if HFT 1 is 100ms slower than HFT 2, then HFT2 will capture $0.03/share and HFT 1 captures nothing. It's a wasteful arms race. It's also fixable simply by eliminating the subpenny rule.
