I think your take on how I would have used Github is a bit misunderstood. I meant more that I could see if this person was contributing to other projects, or just generally what sorts of projects they worked on. Certainly, pay-per-LOC is not even remotely intelligent. And not everything has to scale.

I think the other problem that your hourly pay situation doesn't address (aside from what Volundr mentioned), is that it robs the person of their ability to actually get better at what they do by substituting valuable expansion time with labor time. Most people don't grow in their jobs alone. Most companies don't want their employees to grow. Learning, trying, failing, and mastering take time that companies don't want to spend money on. This is why passion time is so critical: It lets the employee do new things, and new things make them better and smarter.

If I had never taken my off-work time to do my own iOS apps, I would never have learned native iOS development, seeing as my company wouldn't have lost out 3 or so months on teaching me. My passion for software is the only thing that made me better, and the company got a lot of value from it as I brought new coding principals and patterns along with me that I applied to make my work software better as an indirect result, but there's no structures in place to make sure I don't become disenchanted with my employer as I grow beyond it.

I don't think being able to catch a cab, at all, is a 'big-city amenity'.

Also keep in mind Austin is one of the biggest growing cities in the entire US.

etc. I could keep on arguing the point, but I nuked my previous account on here because of petty negativity like this, so I'd rather not.

Thankfully everybody I've met in person here has been incredibly friendly and hospitable which has left a big impression on me about Austin and the US in general. I will take that as my example, not this mean-spirited comment.
>Really? Seems a bit unnecessary to take the spot completely out of action because the meter is broken.

Yes, it does. Seems a bit unnecessary for the US to spend more than the next 20 countries combined in military, but the government doesn't always do the necessary part well.

As the Millennials gather in self-pity on HN. I just throw in I try to avoid hiring Millenials at all cost. They are so full of self-worth, they have nothing to prove - ever. Will bail when any project gets tough, believe they are entitled to all privileges earned after 30 minutes on a job. Worse, you might have to talk to their parents on the phone about their poor job review.
If you guys are interested in testing this out on a "real" site... i just implemented InstantClick on http://www.topiama.com/.

If I spot anything weird I'll let you guys know.

It is an interesting project and likely useful.

At the same time, I wonder how clear the descriptions are, particularly of the permissive licenses (this is a critique, not a teardown). I looked at the FreeBSD and MIT licenses because of the fact that there is a subtle difference in the licenses which can cause some confusion: the MIT license explicitly allows sublicensing while the BSD licenses do not.

The descriptions were good. The MIT description was exactly the way I read the license text. The 2-clause BSD/FreeBSD license said "you can do almost anything" which immediately raises the question of "what can't you do?" My reading of the license is that the answer is "sublicense" (i.e. you can include the work in product of a different license, but you cannot change the license on the BSD code in the process of transmitting it, and that this limitation does not exist in the MIT license, were you can not only change the license but likely assert status as licensor when you do so). IANAL, but this is the sense I get from Larry Rosen's book ont he subject.

Again, I don't know that licenses can be perfectly explained in plain English, so this is a fairly minor concern if the site exists primarily as a conversation starter rather than something that people want to use as some sort of authoritative reference.
I don't have an android, so I'm only speaking about my impressions from the site and about the premise. For what they're worth, here are my thoughts:

Your premise of chatting to nearby people is going to have an adoption-cycle problem. Not only do you need other users to have the app, but they have to be using it within proximity. If you can't find a really good way to make userbase size a non-issue, you will have a hard time getting any installs. If you plan to use contacts-based messaging to drive the initial adoption, then the hyperlocal feature probably isn't your primary feature anymore, so you should reconsider focusing your marketing on it.

You also have a user-safety issue when giving away location data, but that can be an opportunity to innovate in a differentiating way. Focusing on the trust constraint may open up ideas on how users would interact - the key (if your market is social) is to let people do something fun that they couldn't previously do. Think about how trust factors into the interactions: for instance, if you invert it so that the message only goes to friends that aren't nearby, how might that change the experience?

Don't be discouraged, but do try to be really honest about the state of the product. Also, get a few people (a few more, if you have already) to sit down in front of the site with you next to them. It's currently somewhat difficult to imagine what the experience would be like, and you want that to be clear within the first fifteen seconds (or so) of opening the page. Most visitors, when they get the first impulse to ditch, will follow that impulse.

Good luck!
How many years until we can send our cars out to go get food? - let's rather ask how many years until we stop owning cars and start using a ubiquitous autonomous taxi/delivery service.

How many years until we can upload all of wikipedia into our brains or an attachment that our brains can pull from / talk to? - we don't have a slightest idea of how to do that and if it's even possible or feasible.

How many years until we can throw trash into a 3D printer and have it materialize a complex item such as an orange or a phone? - home 3D printers are a fad. Homemade products will always be orders of magnitude more expensive than factory-produced.

I don't see how they can group electricians in the same category as front desk clerks and parking lot attendants.

What are the disciplines of the PhD graduates? Were any of them earned online or at an unaccredited university? These are important pieces of the puzzle.

There are 2 - 3 million people with doctorates in the US. I don't think it's unreasonable to have a small percentage of that number in a low-paying job because of whatever reasons they have (mental illness, committed crime, not good in field, did something unethical in field.

With a few exceptions, if you have a PhD and the desire and ability to work, it's not difficult to find a job.
You'd think they'd do anything they could to avoid drunk driving. I hope that if anyone gets hurt or killed during SXSW by a drunk driver the victim sues the hell out of the APD for making it more likely there will be drunk drivers on the road.

I think a lot of the guys that go into super science aren't really looking for huge pay checks anyway. They love the science and the challenge, and they don't want to be burdened with all the BS that comes with dealing with "regular people" because we will get in their way.

It ain't greener on the other side of the fence. Most software engineers work on pointless shit (and complain about idiotic or short-sighted management) as well.

The problem isn't that these product executives and bikeshedding non-techs have low IQs. (We viciously lambast them as "retards" and "morons", but it ain't true. If they were physically limited we'd be dickheads for judging them. It's the willful stupidity that's the sin.) They're more than smart enough. The problem is that they (and half or more of all developers, to tell the truth) are willingly intellectually half-assed. Once they get power it's an excuse not to think. They do become genuinely stupid (in the low IQ sense) over time but that atrophy takes decades.

In other words, it's not that "regular" people are the idiots who make our lives hell. It's something to do with power structures and the anti-intellectualism those seem to breed, even when filled with smart people.
Yeah, that's my point. 0.1 and 0.2 do add exactly to 0.3, but in any finite representation of real numbers you'll get rounding errors on some equations like this. If you use an infinite representation then equality is no longer computable.
that's how i read it too, that "my people" are the most disassociated of all the current generational groups of people.

Sure, and in communism there's no need to do even that, because the state provides and we're all happy 20-hours per-week workers.

Every social movement has two sides: a theoretical and a real one. When studying. If we have to accept that China, Cuba and Stalin's Russia what applied Communism looks like, we have to accept for coherence and mainly because it seems to be the truth that what we're seeing (wall street, monopolies, free market not auto-regulating, etc) as applied Liberalism.
Brilliance is great for party tricks, but requires a whole set of other personality traits and social conditions to be valuable to the individual or the society.

Can anyone please explain why it is necessary to identify the precise remains of the dead, especially those that died so long ago? It seems like a waste of time and resources, driven by a compulsive over-expression of sentiment. In the case of the article, the man died over fifty years ago, and they even have the luxury of knowing where and how he died, shouldn't that be closure enough? Should taxpayers really be funding a staff of 500 for this? I can think of many better allocations for $100,000,000.
It looks like it is designed to look like a major initiative, but with thr specific constraints written to only admit a few hand-picker winners who are friends of the sponsors. Like many government contracts that pretend to be open for bidding.
Four Tips on Speaking From My First Time Presenting at Google
There are marketing reasons for law firm mergers. Law firms make money by having the biggest/richest clients who pay multimillion legal bills. The idea is that these clients want to hire the "best" law firms, and they determine the "best" by looking at which firms are the biggest/richest/hired by other big clients. This logic says that if your competitor firm becomes larger, you need to get larger too in order to appear competitive to clients.

In reality clients are probably smart enough to realize bigger != better, but it's not just pure cargo cult thinking that leads to firms trying to stay large.
It is a state program.

App Ops was available briefly and did exactly what you want. Google made it inaccessable in 4.4, claiming it was only intended for testing. It's possible to restore on a rooted device, but more sophisticated solutions are available with root.

At the moment, I use XPrivacy, which has very fine-grained control, confirm-on-use for permissions and the ability to supply fake data. As far as certain apps are concerned, I'm in Pyongyang.
If anybody wants to do a little virtual house hunting for no-coast housing, I highly recommend the show "House Hunters" (the International version "House Hunters International" is also great) on HGTV. They also have some similar companion shows like Property Virgins, Hawaii Life, "Buying and Selling" and "Property Borthers" and it's pretty informative as to what local markets are like all over the place.

The format is basically the same every show, somebody wants to move someplace, in 30 minutes they give a brief description of what they're looking for and their budget to a real estate agent. The agent then shows them 3 homes in the area. They pick one of the homes and then finally you see how they've moved in and decorated the place 2 or 3 months later. Along the way you get to see a little bit of the area they're looking in.

The other shows have similar, but slightly different formats or spins on the basic concept. But House Hunters has the show format down to a concise science.

There are episodes where my jaw absolutely drops to the floor seeing how much house and property they can get for their money. For what my garage costs I've seen people get 2 floor 2500 sq ft homes with a detached garage structure and half an acre.

Of course other places are equally depressing and have pretty much destroyed life-long dreams to move to a nicer climate for retirement. However, House Hunters International has shown me some new candidates that look like they'd work very well on a retirement income.

janitors are often gov't jobs.

Blue collar jobs pay well, esp. govt blue collar jobs, and they come with benefits.

These PhDs were smart enough to figure out that the college grads employment and salary stats being put out by CorpGovMedia are fake, bogus, and massaged to a fare thee well.

Blue collar is where it is at.
I'm over 30 so probably not a millenial.

Honestly whose fault is is that millenials are so shitty? It's not the millenial's fault that their parents raised them horribly, didn't ever let them fail (for fear of ruining their future!) and obsessively planned any and all aspects of their lives.

When did the "everyone should have lots of self-esteem because we're all unique snowflakes!" movement get started? If you take the year that really got going and add 10-20 to the number, does that roughly approximate the point at which you started to realize that these kids are all worthless?

Of course that generalization that I've made of the parents and education of millenials isn't entirely true; I'm sure plenty of them had perfectly decent parents. But if we're going to make generalizations let's talk about both sides of it. Kids don't really grow up in a vacuum.
I too wrote a simple time tracker (as a chrome extension) for myself and later published it on chrome store - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onnkllhiaannegcomg...

Oh yes!!

I remember a circa 1993 article about Gen-X (or whatever): about how they were lazy, grunge was just wanna-be 70's rock, they never did anything new and were just copying the Boomers.

I wish (WISH!) I'd kept it so I could have emailed the author to ask if they got in on the Netscape IPO.
I run a small one-man-show publishing house: http://minireference.com. I produce math/physics textbooks for adults. I'm the author, business person, marketing person, and strategic partnerships person. Revenues are not stellar, but they keep me off the streets...

The value I provide is synthesis of a lot of educational material that exists out there into a coherent package (a book). In many ways, my work is similar to what linux distro package managers do: ensuing prerequisites are covered before the main package is installed.

I remember hearing one of the early Internet/www inventors saying the Internet will allow people to "live from the fruits of their intellectual labour." Does anyone know who this was??? With eBooks and print-on-demand this is finally possible now. I would encourage everyone with deep domain knowledge about a subject to start writing about it and publish a small book. I think "information distillation" is of great value for readers. Feel free to email me if you need help/advice with the publishing stuff.
I'm not a Sass expert here, but does anyone know if anything in this release helps with the problem of not being able to @extend items within media queries?
This looks like a case for decimal floating point, not fractionals. In Python:

I'm a fan of the Midwest in general and love the seasons (even in MN) but I don't know that the jobs are there. My friend in Madison (a very intelligent "ABD" who, as often happens in math PhD programs, burned out) got $45,000 in his first programming job because his company had no competition. Even now, I doubt he's higher than $90,000.

As for leaving SF/Boston/NYC, I moved to Baltimore, which is not the Midwest and actually not that cheap. The two-body problem is a big part of why the "star cities" are so attractive. I like Baltimore-- it's way better than its reputation, although that ain't saying much-- but when I next search for a job, I'll probably find more outside of Baltimore than inside. Also, there's that two-body issue. This move has been good for my career but so-so for my wife's, because there aren't many good companies here. We shouldn't have to choose between one career or the other and, in the long run, we won't. The costs of housing in San Francisco and New York are fucking criminal (literally, if you look into the NIMBY issues) but knowing that both you and your spouse will be able to find high-quality jobs for 10+ years is the draw. I'd rather live in Minneapolis than San Francisco, but I'm pretty sure we could live in San Francisco, career-wise, for at least a decade. Are there going to be VP-level-but-mostly-coding machine learning positions in Minneapolis in 2024? Not a clear call. And cross-country moves are stressful and just get harder with age.

Of course, San Francisco and New York spit you out if you don't become, at least in pay grade, Director-level by child-raising age. To be honest, I don't think we'll move to either of those cities when we next relocate, because even though we'll be able to afford it the expensiveness is horrible for the culture. We ranked cities independently and Seattle topped both of our lists; it's affordable (if not exactly cheap) and beautiful and neither of us has a problem with 50-degree cloudy days. (In MN that was called "Early May".)

There was nothing to learn here. Just a piece about porn stars being recognized in public. I was reading this article thinking that it has something to do with the legality of online personas, however, it had no point. I don't know why this is even related to tech or online privacy.
"Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers."

1) That's a huge transformation that isn't going to happen suddenly, it'll be gradual. We will be able to rent our cars out for the day while we are at work within the next 10 years.

2) Research has been going on in to make this happen for 40+ years. DARPA has invested a significant amount of funding towards the goal of a BCI. All that's really necessary is the connection, that's the hardest part, just how to talk to the brain and make a safe connection to it. Google is working on it pretty heavily also. It'll be done, just a matter of when. Many science concepts people don't know if they are possible because of some unknown limit, but with BCIs we know it's possible, just a matter of figuring it out, which has turned out to be a difficult but certainly not impossible task.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%E2%80%93computer_interfac...

3) Maybe in the short-term, but in 40-50 years there is no reason that a "Replicator" can't be created. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicator_(Star_Trek)
I don't agree, people are more likely to come from python that to python from a language that has lazy list comprehensions. But regardless, using a language requires that you learn it and I doubt many people think list comp is lazy. Pythonic programming obeys explicit over implicit, which which if you want a lazy version you explicitly use a lazy version.
Mmmm people die and you wonder about stock price and investors?
