I would say you are a victim of the overly dramatic article, designed to attract clicks.
To target passionate enthusiasts while retaining control, they could have waved the initial $19 fee to anyone who signs up only during GDC week. IIRC Unity did something similar a couple of years ago with their 3.5 non-Pro mobile plugins, shortly before releasing Unity 4, and the experiment eventually convinced them to provide free non-Pro licenses across the board (consoles excluded of course).
In SV you can at least feel like you're producing something, however silly. At a hedge fund you're just sucking capital all dracula style.

Premium economy?

I usually fly between LHR and SFO on BA premium economy. It's usually sub-£1000. Compared to economy, the seats are wider with more leg room and the meals are better.

It's a pity they still fly creaking old 747s on that route though. One time went to SFO through LAX where the first leg was on an A380 and that completely spoiled 747s for me.

Unfortunately, the A380 doesn't make up for the horrors of connecting onto an AA domestic flight at LAX, so I can't do that all the time now...

As some sort a of music prodigy according to certain people, I'd say you have a point. I've certainly put in a ridiculous amount of time in music "just for fun".

At the same time, to create something great you do have to stop practicing and go back to what you know best and what inspires you.
I don't really see how this follows, particularly since I don't believe you can sync the voiceprint across phones. If you're saying that it's _possible_ to send voice prints to the server unnecessarily, then sure: but this has nothing to do with always-listening/voice-print storage; it could be the case for any sort of voice command, which means that what we're talking about here isn't any different from any voice command system in that respect.
Given your assumptions, young developers would require more compensation so they could retire (or at least retrain) at 40. Like VLM said, there are parallels in other fields. In most of those fields, there's a strong up-or-out pull that:

- helps the successful be financially secure when their careers are over

- encourages quick failure so a dramatic career change isn't as difficult
I would imagine that is the plan in some way. From their legal FAQ:

"Through GitHub you can access UE4 C++ source code from Epic and also see code contributions from other developers across the community. We have lots in store for this channel, and we're looking for feedback on what you'd like to see here as well."
I was just pointing out what my understanding of a trademark is and how I think it wouldn't apply for the Dell vs Macbook example.

In any case, I don't think I'm qualified to have an opinion in the case being discussed here. Both because my understanding of trademark law is just a very general sense of what it is supposed to stand for and because I have absolutely no notion of what are the multimeter brands out there and what their designs look like.

For what it's worth, all the multimeters I recall using at school were either all yellow or all black and I have the feeling they were always the same brand although I don't remember what that was (I studied in Europe)

Threadable is like Google Groups, except that whether or not the default reply-to is "all" is a user preference rather than a group preference, which made me so happy.

(There are other features too, which I entirely ignore without missing anything. In fact, other than "there are some HTML buttons in the email", which will probably also eventually have an option to turn off, our transition from our prior mailing list service was almost unnoticeable for somebody like me who didn't want to use the extra features. And that's a compliment.)

I'm not sure how you could convey your character or professional demeanor on a resume. I mean sure, everyone is just going to say they are wonderful and professional, no one is going to say they are terrible and sloppy.

It's up to the interviewers to make that determination with the help of professional references.
At KeepVault we've been using Supermicro since day 1 (pre-2007) and they've worked out very well. Supermicro is more expensive (on multiple metrics), but you're also getting different features like entry-level cost and power redundancy.

Red especially is used by many companies for DMMs, it's a safe color. There's also different hues you can use, maybe burgundy, or even stripes. My point is, this color yellow is similar to Fluke yellow, and that's without proper lighting or color calibration.

I'd guess that a licensed electricians can probably perform their jobs better than people that have "finished schools". I've interviewed people with a "master's degree in computer science" that literally did not know what binary search was. Or people 3/4 years through a "computing engineering" degree that would get mixed up with if and while loops.

I doubt licensed electricians remained licensed for long if they don't know the difference between hot and neutral wires.

Previous licensing was along the lines of 25% of net profit after $50k. Plus $100 for access to the dev kit.

I call it a wash, but the lower numbers (5 vs 25, 19 vs 100) make for some good marketing. And full access to the source is new and welcome.

Also I'm not sure if this change to their royalty scheme will make any difference to their flat $400k-per-game license that the big studios probably use.

This is huge. Unreal Engine 3 was used in a lot of AAA games, including the Arkham games, Borderlands etc. And this is the new version. Basically, the state of the art 3d game engine for 5% gross royalties.

Also, this gives you access to the engine source code, which for Unreal Engine 3 meant paying a fee on the upper scale of six figures (some engines are even more expensive, CryEngine costs over a million bucks).

5% (even considering it's gross) is really really competitive, considering what you're getting in return.
As someone trying to work to get my lab to migrate our lists from Google Groups to Threadable (I've used both and really want to see my group switch) it is mostly that Google Group's UX is infuriating and using it often makes me want to throw something out the window. Also I miss not having threadable's groups features on my google groups lists, where we have to create a bunch of different separate google groups lists for various things in our lab. With threadable we we could just have one list and a bunch of different subgroups.
Ask HN: GBaaS – Google Bus as a Service. 
anyone care to take a stab at the economics of running a GBaaS company? The problem is that many companies in SF/SV are too small to justify a full bus but would almost certainly pay for a share of a bus or some number of seats. For example, we have 5 employees, 2 of which commute from South Bay. We obviously can't run our own bus line but we would definitely buy seats on a bus that matched Google's in terms of comfort, wifi, and convenience.

Really? That article has no data.
It only says: “When you look at senior management, you tend to see men disproportionately represented. So while there may be less than 5% of all nurses who are male, you see a much larger percentage than 5% in senior-level positions like hospital administrators.”

Which is understandable because administrator != higher level nurse. Most hospital administrators are MBAs, occasional MDs and RNs.

One of the key changes between how Threadable works and previous mailing lists is that we can actually customize fairly deeply each message to each user, rather than simply reflecting the same thing out to the whole list. This trickles out into a bunch of interesting use cases and features, which we've only just started to implement.

You're right. If he had said that then I would agree (as long as the brand protection isn't too sweeping... I remember a story about Fluke trying to claim the big-knob-on-the-front-of-a-handheld form factor, dunno how true it was).

For people who care, this is why Flukes (and Agilents and good DMMs) are worth the money: http://www.eevblog.com/2012/10/19/eevblog-373-multimeter-inp...

But not everybody needs that. If kids want to to make a battery powered 555 drive an LED, do they need to wait until their parents can afford a Fluke? Or risk death? That seems to be what bananas is saying.

America’s largest industrial accident tore apart the town of Kingston, Tennessee. Five years later, has the industry learned anything?
How about titling it, 'I installed wordpress and some plugins'. Was really expecting there was some data / testing in the article.

Yes, I realize that massively misleading headlines are all the rage these days. I suppose that title is better than 'You won't believe how much growth was hacked after you see these 5 plugins'

I am wondering though about how effective these plugins are, personally I find the scroll popups highly annoying. That said, I also realize that most things that I find annoying are highly effective marketing tools.

$200 is a burden? You're serious?

It's not a meaningful fee at all. Particularly given the technology in question. You do realize how valuable this technology is, and how much it would otherwise cost? You don't build a serious UE4 based title with no budget.

If you have an interesting project and want to get started, but don't have $240 to cover a year: raise donations, try kickstarter, borrow $60 from your aunt to get started. At $19 the options are plentiful.

If you can't find $500 for your UE4 engine game over time, I'd argue you stand zero chance of ever completing it. UE4 is a beast of an engine, it's not a one man job to build and launch a serious game. So if you can put together a real team of developers to build a serious game, $200 or $500 is the absolute least of your worries.

And if you're just looking to learn, $19 is not a lot of money to have unfettered access to one of the best engines in gaming.

I was an exec customer for house cleaning. they would come every two weeks. i relied on them.

exec was sold/acqui-hired to a company called Handybook.

so Handybook kept the regular scheduled appointment. they came once and it was terrible. they came a second time and it was terrible again. so i cancelled the service.

that was a few weeks ago, i have yet to replace them.

so right about now, my toilet is starting to become disgusting.

i get a disgusting toilet, and Justin gets a partnership.
This is generally good advise (don't suggest willingness to negotiate, because that suggests you will take less).

But, unless you've done research and have confidence that the $80k is viable for your experience and the position, you can also scare off many potential employers.

That's why I'd suggest delaying giving a hard number to much later in the process, after all the screening and interviews when its time to develop an offer. You'll have more information then to justify a given price point and more leverage for a "take it or leave it" moment.

I recommend giving either a range ($70-$90k) or your last salary (I made $70k at my last job, so that's a reasonable minimum I would expect). As an employer, I'd likely start on that low end ($70k) with an initial offer. That gives you the opportunity to decline (I made that at my last job, and my skills and experienced are much improved since), and then give me your terms (say $80k or even higher) with justifications.

As a US worker, I greatly prefer pooled vacation days. The companies that I have worked for that don't have this have _at most_ 15 days of paid vacation (usually either 10 or 12 until I had a few years of work there and had it increased). They had separate sick time, but only ~5 days of it.

The pooled vacations one have 16-20 with sick bundled in. It's about the same if you are sick for more than 5 days (you'd lose either way). If you are sick for less than 5 days, pooled is clearly better.
>why tax your mental capacities

I had a vacuum here somewhere..... Where is it?
Disclaimer: Every employer is different. My advice may be completely out of phase with someone else. But during my career I've had to unfortunately interview a lot of people (as I think anyone in this field has), and frankly this is a really bad resume. Even in non-tailored format. I don't mean that in a bad way, I just think this person could really improve his prospects with some changes.

To nitpick one example, I've always felt that after your first job you should drastically cut down the importance of your degree on your resume. As far as I'm concerned your degree/major/whatever is a poor indicator of the kind of developer you're going to be, to be used only as a last resort when you are young and haven't had the chance to demonstrate yourself in the workforce. After that, your previous job titles/accomplishments are way more telling.

This guy is in his 50s and he's still got individual line items for honors and high honors. I don't care. I don't even know what that means back when he got his degree. He points out he has a double major. Then tells me his majors individually. Then tells me how he did in each major separately. This after the fact that he's already told me all this in his overview. This reads like a recent grad's section (look at me, I graduated!!!!). I half expected him to list projects he did in school (hell, maybe some of those projects at the bottom WERE school projects -- that's the mindset I'm put in by the schooling section).

Then he tells me his hobbies. This isn't as bad as telling me he likes to ride his bike or something, but "working on a couple of books" sounds so "I've been working on that big idea in my spare time for 10 years..." It conveys zero useful information to me. Clearly he has no finished books (because then he would have listed them, but somehow he is working on more than one at once). The ONLY thing interesting to me here is "Open Source projects". But thats lost in a bunch of stuff I don't care about. This should be ONE LINE which has specific github projects where I can go check out what he's done.

"MS-DOS, Win 3.1 through 7" Ugh. Unless your goal is to maintain old systems or something this just seems ridiculous.

Then you've got gems like "Voting Software; 50% of U.S. market" LOST in the stockpile of buzz words. Something like that should be a bullet point under the employer you did it under in the top section.

People go through hundreds of these things. This thing is visually exhausting. It doesn't read like a list, its jam-packed with information in different styles: top looks like an essay, then a list of short answers, then "how can I maximize information per square inch" at the bottom. I'm intimidated to read it.

Your overview should MAYBE be 3 sentences. Then immediately drop into the jobs you've had, with bullet points about interesting standout things done in them. Then ONE LINE with your degree to prove you have one, then maybe "skills" or whatever to fill out the bottom. If you've done your job right no one will be reading by then, you'll already have been placed in the "follow up" pile.

That $79/year was intended to REPLACE the price of shipping on individual items.

If the price of those items increases by the cost of shipping, after you've payed the $79, Prime is now a sunk cost of $79 that has ZERO returns.

This is the basis of the lawsuit, this is very easy to understand.

Amazon should be covering the shipping cost associated with Prime items, Instead they collude with sellers to make them "Prime eligible" and those sellers increase prices by the cost of shipping. That's a scam.

I've had prime since it's inception, I have 500+ orders on my amazon account. It used to be a great deal, it's basically just a scam to get you to use their video service now.
