Actually this paper is very interesting. So they did in fact reward employers for employee performance.

What I found the most interesting:

If, instead, we were to impose a random choice on employers, their earnings would drop by
11.4%, because employers do gain some relevant information from the appearance of the candidates, and this information allows them to make better-than-random choices (as can be seen in Fig. 1, which shows that employers in this condition choose the higher-performing candidate 55% of the time).

If we remove the anti-women bias in expectations [in the case of appearance only], employers would earn only 0.1% more in compensation.

So it turns out that anti-female bias is almost negligible when basing decisions entirely on candidate appearance. That's really surprising to me. I wish they included a table describing how much alpha could be gained by eliminating anti-female bias in all cases.

Also, it looks like the best (and least biased) predictor was Past Performance. Surprise surprise. Maybe people will now stop complaining about employers who ask for a github (aka "Past Performance") instead of a resume ("aka "Cheap Talk")?

I'd like to see them put some more effort on content delivery for their TV partners. I have a Bravia EX and half the time the iPlayer streams don't work i.e. you get sound and no video. Then occasionally we get shot down for a couple of weeks at a time with content region warnings suggesting we're not in the UK.

Having spoken to Sony and my ISP, they're both suggesting that the administrative side of iPlayer is a mess. The former tell them that the BBC regularly breaks their codecs and metadata streams and the latter suggest that the BBC rarely update their geographical IP databases.

Not a great experience.

It's bad when you have to hit the proxy torrent sites to view content you already paid for with your TV license...

Are there any sub-$100 HDMI DACs that do 5.1 or 7.1? That would be amazingly useful if so.
You are right on all counts. I should be more considerate with my thoughts and words. I appreciate your nuance. Thank you.

I would not eschew a plan, but I would alter or abandon it when it's favorable to do so. I meant only to advocate pragmatism, not anarchy.
And they kind of need to be reminded what Linux is..

If people start clamoring Linus to descend from heavens and bring us video editing, it's just a silly as what grandparent referred to.

I see this might be viewed as pedantic, but Linux is not a distro you used.

Additionally Linux does have Blender with support for video editing, which from what I've heard was used to make Sintel and other movies.
You're casting a really wide net, which is not accurate. I will only speak to my own experience, but Techstars is not what you're talking about and of the friends that went through YC and 500, they seem to say similar things (that it was good, amazing, edifying).

Disruptive innovations is created by all types of people - meek and quiet people, some people that have a lot of great energy but little focus, some people with great focus but no programming skill, women, men, and even small ideas can be innovative (to a lucrative degree).

If you've been through each program then the size of your brush stroke is "just a little bit" more justified: diversity is a good thing, incubators aren't hurting anyone, and there are people making amazing stuff happen from every possible angle (bootstrap? incubator? wealthy family money? friends and family? payday loan investment? SBA loan? government grants? on-the side while working full-time? champion angel investor?).
It was posted to HN on a weekend, readers have more time to waste, so fun stuff is more likely to be updated.
Where do you get your marvellous comparison figures from?

Yes, it puts it into a more depressing perspective. Although I would tip my hat to the founders if they decided to build "WhatsAppTown", a city of the future.

In fact I want them to - because when we throw around this kind of cash (the amounts normally only State actors have) we get outliers - sometimes a boring miser who just wants more, sometimes a visionary who tries to build their Jeston style future.

I just hope Facebook stock is going to those who watched the Jetsons on Saturday mornings.
Hopefully this offends everyone &| starts yet another pointless religious debate: Java was a reaction to C/C++ (language safety); Python was a reaction to Perl's messes; and Ruby is polished Perl. And bonus: Go was a reaction to Java and C++ compiles taking forever.

With production usage, each platform matures through attempts to learn from the past while not forgetting too much before that.

You're in luck; this is the emerging age of ultra wide screen monitors. Today there's 21:9, with two or three of those you should be fine for the next few weeks.

What is wrong with using an establish platform like Flash? iPlayer works, and works well. I happy to see BBC continuing to improve.

I don't see anything close to resembling epic fail with iPlayer.

hxpipe (1) - convert XML to a format easier to parse with Perl or AWK

Being unfamiliar with either Perl or AWK, could anyone point me to an explanation/ example of why it is easier to parse/ what format it generates. Would it be easy to write a similar utility to say convert it to a Lua table?

Early stage, more than just meetings distract you. Hiring developers so you can expand is distracting, fundraising and being in the loop with your CEO is distracting, family and friends are distracting, coffee with brilliant and experienced people is distracting.

There comes a time when you've done this startup thing more than once, as a founder, to realize that everything - even day-to-day operations - is a distraction from the core intention of building a product. What do you do about it? Get really good at time boxing, delegating, and prioritizing.

Programmers are typically not very good at handling multi-faceted schedules and being ruthless about that schedule.
Couldn't the same be said for open source torrent clients/libs which are fairly popular? I don't see anyone going after those, even though they also don't have money for legal teams.
So if you use Facebook you can safely avoid Facebook for ~3 days after it's launched as every complains about it changing and then gets over it.

I don't think I've ever seen a service that gets as much grief for making (usually positive) UX changes. It's easy to joke about, but even tiny things get spotted and people seem pretty hostile to the change.

If it uses the P5 header, then it's I2C - so there are no USB issues. I remember reading about (other?) Wolfson DACs on Raspi and they were using I2C.
Well, for one, Flash is a vector for viruses - why should I expose my computer to a much greater attack surface just to watch video. Secondly, Flash is often less effcient than the native implementation - on my Mac the fan ramps up frequently when running Flash apps, but rarely when running HTML5 / Javascript apps. Then there's the fact that Flash takes up space on my flash drive, which I would much rather keep for something useful.

That's just a few reasons off the top of my head. When you consider the fact that they support iPhones / iPads, they are already streaming h264, so why not do it in HTML5?
Even BeautifulSoup makes use of lxml now (as of version 4)
Most international projects I've participated in has come to this conclusion sooner or later. Not having the physical space divide and the language barrier coincide helps a lot. Not having a huge divide between business and development helps, too.

A stop gap method is getting the whole team together for a couple of weeks, so you get to match faces with voices and learn manners and habits of your overseas team members. This helps a lot with further communications.

Still, the amount of information you miss can be staggering - not just from decreased deliberate communication, but from not getting ambient information about your team members knowledge.
ora uses O_DIRECT.
This is suprisingly convenient; but I've always wanted to build something like this for years, but for power users.

Instead of streaming, it would be a node-webkit-esque app that allows one to;
- Sync media over LAN, sync user's catalog everywhere with the option to sync data from one PC over the internet
- Manage and browse media (By building a catalog of items from several watched directories)
- Delete, move, rename media easily. Perhaps even manage archive formats automatically (autoextraction)
- An api for subtitles
- Build statistics, time watched, tv shows added per x time etc.
- Store metadata like time media was paused at (to resume at), with a visual indicator in the catalog view
- Automated parsing of releases, soft renaming
- Scrape data for each item, generate tags from that data, categories
- Archiving, sorting, grouping
- Personalized catalogs of "what I watch". Kind of like how you might customize http://pogdesign.co.uk/cat/
- A real-time tracker for new releases. It would query a web service which has a bot idling in a prechan, then after parsing each release it is able to match to any item that you watch and notify you that "this just came out". Alternatively, it could, for TV, just utilize airtimes from TVRage
- Personalized page that lists all of the stuff you are looking for. List of things that you haven't downloaded yet but are in your list etc.
- Integrated user defined searches. Allowing one to search their favorite sources autocompleted with things in the application's local catalog of "stuff you want/watch".
- A nice dark interface, surprisingly a lot like what Popcorn Time is doing, though much more complex and functional.
- The ability to choose your own media player to launch, thus giving up statistics, pause time and "watched" states. Would require the user to commit this info themselves, with a form popping up whenever they launch something from the app if they so choose.
- Multiple sub-users per "catalog", so that one person would have access to the same file but may not have watched/behaved the same way as another user on the network
- Integrated "coming soon" feed for tv and movies that you could preemptively select to be notified about.
- One big database file that would be dynamic to the content available to it. This way the installation could be portable, and whenever it detects its on a different system (Synced by a dropbox service or a USB drive), the app will ask to specify watch-folders to sync with the database so that one could keep track of their "catalog", add things to it etc.
- Open source, built on node-webkit like Popcorn. No datamining, pro privacy.
- Works in a browser, thus on phones (I guess some TV's/Consoles too?) connected to the WLAN
- Integration of a "WebUI" from popular torrent clients, with a custom standardized interface for all of them.

So basically XBMC for pirates, I guess.

Something tells me it's a niche market.
Because there's no try-out or restore available.

On a computer or a cellphone I mostly can stick with (or downgrade to) "old versions" of the software if I do not like the UI - just as happened with MS Vista and now with Win8, or the Office 2003-2007 UI remodeling.

On a website, the only hope users have is massive outcries and shitstorming, even though its known that Facebook never listens to its users.
Why does Intel even discuss these things? Can I buy this? Can I go out and buy products that use this standard? Can I buy PCs that use AMD CPUs that use this? What about ARMs? What about Infiniband-like networks?

It makes me angry that a large corporation set out on a Tuesday morning with the sole purpose to waste people's time like this. If it is not going to be on store shelves within the next few months and if it doesn't have broad industry support: NO ONE CARES.

This is why Thunderbolt has been a failure: they talked about it for over two years and the final version is Intel-only, effectively Mac only (very few non-Apple PCs have it, and it seems most of them were bought just to be Hackintoshes), and not nearly as awesome as what they originally described; and AMD, Texas Instruments, VIA, and several other VESA members added a USB3-over-DisplayPort feature called DockPort because Intel refuses to license and standardize Thunderbolt.

You can downvote me if you want, but I imagine at least half of us have been thinking this and someone had to just come out and say it: advertise your product when I can buy it, otherwise it just looks like you're trying to pimp your stock to investors.
This theory is not plausible as Malaysian authorities announced that primary radar returns suggest the plane turned SSW.[1]
Additionally the airspace at the Chinese coast is most likely closely monitored 24/7.

This suggestion mentions "300nm" and "50nm" distances. To my eye these are 'nanometres', so is this a typo or am I missing something?
If course, what it really means is: we want to monopolize your data.
It's an issue if you have high internet speed. I've had cases where the data can be downloaded faster than it can be parsed and overflow the internal queue. It's even worse if your crawler is not asynchronous, in that case slow parser slow down crawling speed as well.
It's a nautical mile (about 1.8 km). A standard unit of distance in aviation.

News Update #2 – Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Missing
The electro/mechanical reason for the plane's troubles may be plausible but I doubt the area in the red circle is where it went down.

IMO, it's reasonable at this point to assume the aircraft did not continue along its programmed autopilot course very far past the last contact point. That red circle covers a fairly well militarized area (Vietnam, China, South/North Korea, Southern Japan) and the civilian and military radar-warning systems of one or more of these countries would have detected an aircraft that was not on its known course.
The rework gear is also a pain. Definitely the opposite of hackable.
DRM. The BBC can make it "harder" to intercept the video stream by using Flash, it is the reason most of these types of services are still on flash. This is why HTML5 DRM is going to happen, it will remove Flash from the mix, at the expense of having a binary blob from the content owners that manages the DRM.
ZenMate is another free Chrome extension that works well if you want to show your country IP as e.g. US or UK (no affiliation either).
setTimeout(function(){
topito.go( 50 );
}, 1000);

I think that's intended. I also use 27.0.1 and if you click the buttons the progress works fine.
The kernel might wait for a very long time before writing any data to disk (especially in laptop mode with a spinning disk drive). Telling it to start writing now seems like a useful operation for an application that can handle the loss of recent writes, but would prefer to have data start going to disk anyway. Otherwise a power failure could mean losing 30 seconds of writes or more.
That is what I thought, we would have heard a total different story hitting the news.

Unless one of the countries did shoot down the plane, and are now covering it up because they realised their horrible mistake??
Fair points. Flash is moderately inefficient and a vector for viruses. But it runs on practically all computers out there and works on older computers that doesn't have HTMl5 supported browsers. Hopefully this segment is shrinking but it still exists.

We don't know how their development cycle looks or their backend. There is probably a reason they chose not to do HTMl5 at this moment. It will probably come in due time. Worth noting is that Youtube mostly remains on Flash, though they do have HTML5 beta.

HTML5 is still quite a new technology while Flash is well established, despite its flaws.
I still haven't been moved over to Facebook's previous "new look". Not that I'm complaining, I just find it odd.
Among the negatives of standups are:

- Rarely the right information. Every person in the team have different needs for information. It is even harder to deliver the right amount and on the right level if your team includes designers, quality engineers, project/product managers.

- Rarely at the right time. If your company culture includes flexible hours, no matter at what time you put the standup somebody will suffer. Most of the time the team members who come early suffer - they already started work, now you are forcing them to get out of context and attend a meeting.

- Sometimes standups are used as a way to force some team members to do what they have promised (the what I'll do today). But if you are using them in this way is really counterproductive - you either trust that your peers are doing their best for the team or you might consider team change (which I understand is beyond our control sometimes).

- Failure to communicate (or "the what problems I have/had" part). If your team members are mature enough and they had a problem during the course of the day, they shouldn't wait for the next day's standup to let everybody know about that. The should be proactive and seek resolution as the problem comes up.

- Finally the "what I did yesterday" part. This information is commonly used by the managers, but there are better ways to deliver it. Most of us use some way of tracking our work. We only need to flow this information to our managers. It is also a mind shift for them - instead somebody pushing this information to them, they should be proactive and seek it and pull it. If you don't know what somebody is working on, then go and ask him. You don't need to loose the time of the whole team for this.

That being said whether you will use standups or not depends largely on your team dynamics. In new teams or teams formed largely by junior developers it makes sense to have standups - its a way to force communication patterns and certainly can be used as a casual form of a team building. But in my opinion as the team matures there is less and less need for standups, so at one point it just becomes a hurdle. And the good thing about being agile (not SCRUM) is that you can evaluate your process and change it as you (and your team) see it fit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it takes a minimum of 1024 turns to win the game.
