The individual lines are placed on the x axis (horizontally) based on the average wages paid in that industry. They are placed on the y axis (vertically) based on the percentage change in employment since the start of the recession in December 2007.

I am a developer that was born in a third-world country in Central America. There aren't many good opportunities here, but I was lucky enough to land a remote job with a US company, but before I was considering moving to the US and getting a job there. I guess next time I should consider a different country. Maybe Canada? Or somewhere in Europe?
I love what Netflix is doing with this. Not so much because I am totally convinced that they are 100% right and the Cable companies are 100% wrong.

Mostly just because I 100% hate all the cable companies.

I guess so. The problem is I really can't get my head around how market makers are supposed to work. If my stock performs well it should be easy to sell it for a fair price in case I need the money because somebody else will happily take the opportunity to make some money. If the stock does not perform well I will feel more comfortable with a market maker offering to buy the stock but what is the incentive of the market maker to buy my stocks? Almost the same goes for the other way - why should a market maker sell a well performing stock to me? If on the other hand the stock does not perform well but I really want some I should be able to get some anyway because others will be happy to get rid of them. I am always tempted to call bullshit on stock market liquidity but then the term is all over the place and I am pretty sure that not everybody besides me is an idiot and so I guess I am just missing an important point.

"For the record" ?

Do you have a citation from a more neutral ideally peer reviewed source? I don't trust The Partnership For a New American Economy. They are attempting to advance a particular political agenda on immigration and should not be considered a reliable or unbiased source for information.

The Partnership for a New American Economy is a coalition of business leaders and mayors launched by Michael Bloomberg and Rupert Murdoch to influence public opinion and policymakers toward comprehensive immigration reform. "The partnership will enable Mayors and CEOs to demonstrate to policymakers the vital role that immigration plays in our economy by publishing studies, conducting polls, convening forums, and sponsoring public education campaigns." Among other goals, the partnership will pursue Congress and the White House to enact legislation which will create "a path to legal status for all undocumented immigrants now in the United States". The partnership will seek to influence "by publishing studies, conducting polls, convening forums, and sponsoring public education campaigns".

I should say that you're right about "not enough evidence". I think it's safe to say that it's likely, but with Apple, nothing is certain until they announce it and sometimes not even then.

NSA hands it over to the DEA who arrests you based on an investigation based on that information.

They've been doing it and getting away with it so I think your believe that the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree will protect you is false.

Well said. There are some exceptionally hateful things openly said by those in power (especially in the US) that face no repercussions. It isn't a stretch to imagine similar people working within the intelligence community. Perhaps they don't work there today but there's nothing stopping them working there tomorrow. Again the US has a history of abusive surveillance, the FBI has a very checkered past to say the least. I especially don't like what I'm hearing about the relationship between the DEA and the Mexican drug cartels. We really must not be complacent about abuses by these organizations. By the time it is indisputable that they have been subverted, it will probably be too late to change them.
There are lots of algos for this. The ones that work well are complex. None of them work that great on full pieces of complex music with many instruments playing at once.

The Ableton Live music package has a great one built in, which appears to do some kind of probabilistic modelling for harmonies. You can send all kinds of crazy noises into it and the resultant chord progressions become increasingly avant-garde, but remain musical.

These algorithms often output midi (ableton does) and it seems you could put that into this Music Suite software and have it spit out notation.

Look in the literature and you will find tons of research on this stuff.
Netflix may be reaping what they have sown here. They agreed to buy paid peering from Verizon, so if they don't have enough capacity into Verizon the onus is on them to buy more. OTOH if there is some kind of problem inside Verizon then the error message is justified.

"broadcasting an opinion that is extremely unpopular with the people who make up his dealflow?"

What do you think the actual net effect of that will be though? That Andreesen will actually lose out on the best or many deals?

Not only do people have short memories, but money and opportunity smooth over many problems in people's minds. Rationalization. [1] I remember reading how up in arms people were about MIT and Schwartz. Some alum threatened to pull support. So how many actually did? (I don't know the answer).

Of course if the "brand" continues to broadcast opinions on an ongoing basis that are unpopular that's a different story.

If those are your big requirements, you may want to try Julia. Those are the most mature parts of the Julia standard library are very stable, not to mention fast. Steven Johnson, the author of FFTW, which is the FFT library wrote the Julia FFT code and is Julia core developer. I think that it's safe to say for doing FFTs and linear algebra, there's no better system out there.
Nothing will change, since it's turtles all the way down.

The first person to discount a bill at the very first bank was "abstracting itself from the creation of real-world value".

Later, I'm sure someone said the exact same sentence that you just did when the first exchange traded fund (ETF) was created. I know for a fact it was said throughout the 90s in relation to derivatives, etc.

In the future, HFT as it exists today will be a quaint feature of a bygone era that will be referenced to illustrate the problems with whatever new practice has superseded it.

What does matter is where you are on the spectrum and how fragile that makes you, but there is no natural law limiting how abstracted you can be and how fragile you can be. By some relative measures we're impossibly abstracted and fragile, but by other relative measures (as yet unknown) we're adorably simple.

When reviewing a pull request I find it hard to see the changes made since my last set of comments and to find unanswered comments (especially when the comment was on a diff hunk that is now gone). When responding to a review I find it likewise hard to find comments that I haven't responded to yet. Rietveld or gerrit solves all of these issues very easily. Do you have any tips on how to deal with them in github/bitbucket pull request UI?
Netflix is testing it in select markets.
I can mostly see your argument. It makes sense. The indie and AAA industry are two different beasts, but they are the same industry.

It feels like one of those big business vs small business issues. If you have the man power and the resources, you can go much farther much faster. But not every starting company can afford the overhead of going full C++ and Engine heavy.

So C# being 'really' popular in the AAA side of the industry is a tad misleading (though can be used as a language on top of the engine, for tools (where it is probably most used), and for tool-chain), to discount it only due to the top 33% of companies usage, is a bit unfair to the quite large and growing indie and AA crowd.
> Snowden is only a traitor if you believe that "the American people" - who are the primary recipients of the disclosed information - are the enemies of the American government.

While I don't buy into the "Snowden is a traitor" argument (as traitor has a specific Constitutional definition for a reason, unlike any other crime), you can certainly be guilty of espionage even if you also provide information to the American public.

E.g. The Soviet spies who got information on American nuclear weapons development programs were clearly guilty of espionage; note that this is true even if they didn't actually manage to get the information to their Soviet case handlers.

But if they leaked those same nuclear weapons programs to the American public (and by extension, the world public) in addition to their Soviet case handlers they'd still be guilty of espionage.

Snowden is the Manning case all over again. You can make an argument for whistleblowing for information he revealed showing crimes committed against the American people. For literally all other information (stuff that doesn't reveal crimes, stuff that reveals the NSA doing its literally assigned security mission, etc.) it's illegal espionage, whether the American public happened to be CC'ed or not.
Never mind, solved.

I see potential on this.

Thank you.

This is a genius move. It's exactly what needs to happen to get consumers to realize that it's their ISP fucking them over, not Netflix.

The average joe isn't outraged enough about net neutrality. If only they'd start doing this to other known bad actors coughcomcastcough, that might just be what the doctor ordered.

I wonder why they ponied up the money to the protection rackets first, and only then started pointing fingers. Maybe the agreement gave them access to some better data? If not, this should have been done months ago!

By the way, don't bother with the comments on the article page unless you want to lose all faith in humanity :(
It's frustrating that Verizon and friends can make grandiose statements in their advertising about "unlimited bandwidth", "faster wifi" ,"stream 5 things at a time", etc, etc. Or lie to customers, My mother just called Comcast to downgrade her service and the CS Rep said "WiFi won't work with our Economy Plus internet plan"

Yet when another entity does something as simple as showing an error message that casts them in a negative light, they are willing and able to threaten legal action.

They stretch the truth as far as they can, yet give not an inch when confronted with truths they don't like.

Remove government so we can add customers! But we need government so we can slap Nextflix when they say something we don't like!

I don't have a good answer how to fix it, it's just very plain to see, and frustrating.

>'Seems pretty fair, at a high level.'

I would agree.

What the experience above and others since evidenced to me is that quite a few people look at a degree as ticket - admission to a higher class.

They see the people who manage to earn above their apparent class as frauds - stowaways who don't belong. People who are somehow gaming the system - stealing what degree holders are entitled to.

I'm not sure what to make of it exactly. I'd guess it's an amalgamation of crushing student loan debt, the misleading marketing of college as a guarantee of prosperity and perhaps a socially acceptable facade for old-fashioned class/race discrimination.

There might be a point where this won't work for us anymore, it's always time to change.

Also, this is not because a branching model works for a team that it will for all teams and projects.

Like any in-house, process the branching model will evolve with the team and it's requirements to be efficient.
> Are you aware of the distinction between market orders and limit orders?

Yes.

> HFTs by themselves can provide liquidity (like any other investor)

Exactly: like any other investor. Meaning, the "high frequency" part of HFT is not what provides the liquidity. (I admit that I should have made that clearer in my previous post.)

Suppose an HFT enters a limit order that is more competitive than the current limit. Either some other investor would have been willing to trade at the same price (as the HFT's limit order), or not. If not, then it doesn't matter how fast the HFT places the limit order; it's going to increase liquidity in any case. So the "high frequency" part is not necessary; the key is that the HFT is an investor willing to trade at a certain price.

But if some other investor would have been willing to trade at the same price, then the only difference the HFT makes is speed: the liquidity gets added sooner than it otherwise would have. So the "high frequency" part doesn't change anything except who the profits from the trade go to.

The biggest surprise for me was that people were so shocked, because I thought we've been funding this agency for 50 years ...

People on both sides who say stuff like that need to watch the United States of Secrets.[1]

What's going on now is not business as usual. It's business since shortly after 9/11, when the Vice President's legal counsel wrote an order directing General Hayden, the NSA Director, to disable the agency's privacy protections and take whatever steps were necessary to find Al Qaeda, ignoring any sort of constitutional limits on domestic spying. Career NSA employees described the change as bringing the agency back to what it had been when Nixon resigned.

We've been funding this agency for 62 years, but after the Church Commission found that they greatly overstepped their bounds, we -- our elected representatives in Congress -- cracked down on them in the 1970s.[2] Then in 2001, we -- a few people in the Bush administration -- threw those protections away and told them to have at it, full steam ahead.

What followed were a series of resignations, internal protests, and leaks. For people who knew what was going on, it was not business as usual. The first stories about the extent of the new regime started coming out in 2005, four years after it started. If you want to say that you've had a pretty good guess what the NSA was up to since 2005, and the Snowden documents only confirmed your suspicions, that's fine. But you couldn't prove it, and the government flatly denied it. They have shown no compunction about directly lying to us about what they were doing (and, remarkably, they're still trying to). What's different now is that their lies are clear, because the truth is in their own documents.

If you're surprised that people were shocked by what the NSA has done since 2001, then either you were born in 2002, or you need to learn more about how and why things changed.

This person seems like they would have been the right person for this job.

Apart from the people complaining about the restrictions of H-1B's their guy was willing to accede to those restrictions.

These regulations are designed to let people like this guy come work in these situations.

The issue was that too many requests were filed so an unfair system (lottery) was used to determine who would even be evaluated. Because of this high volume of requests, two things happen. First of all, you can't properly verify if the requests are legitimate (a specialized worker, unrivaled in this position) or illegitimate (a cheaper worker, willing to put up with under-market conditions for the benefit of leaving a worse foreign situation). Secondly, when the validity of a request isn't checked thoroughly, it's too easy to abuse and the number of illegitimate requests go up, making it take even more resources to get through requests.

It sucks. The better solution is to make fair rules, and have the resources to apply them fairly. Unfortunately, hiring more government workers to be able to better process and make sure good foreign workers don't get left out of the country is not a politically safe move to make, while keeping them foreigners from stealing American jobs is more appealing to a public worried about unemployment. Trying to convince them that being able to hire a guy from out of the country means that more jobs will open up is not a straightforward thing to do.

Very cool stuff! Haskell is indeed great for this kind of thing; perhaps I will get around to trying it out. A (very minor) issue:

> Actually, scat and pcat used to be called melody and chord back in the days, but I figured out that these are names that you actually want to use in your own code.

I would have preferred to see `melody` and `chord` over s/pcat because that's what they're doing. The whole point of a declarative DSL like this is to be descriptive. When I first saw `scat` I wondered if it was a shorthand for `staccato`, or perhaps even a reference to scat singing? On the other hand, not only are `melody` and `chord` very obvious, but they are also general enough that they are rather unlikely to be used as variable names, except perhaps as one-offs.
I don't think Twitter would buy SoundCloud for audio Tweets or podcasts.

Rather, I'd argue that SoundCloud is the #1 source of up-and-coming music on the Web today. Between play and upload information from SoundCloud and mention and trend information from Twitter, Twitter could easily become a content-discovery powerhouse. Information about the "next big thing" will always hold value for marketers, and access to the trendsetters who are consuming the "next big thing" is worth even more.

Between their folded #music attempt based on We Are Hunted and their recent acquisition of Gnip, it's obvious that Twitter are trying to expand and sell their role as a destination for information about the up-and-coming.

That's why they'd buy SoundCloud - Twitter could let marketers learn what's hot next, who's consuming it, and then allow them turn around and sell ads directly to those influencers.

Interesting observation re: FiOS's performance with other video services. I'm not a huge fan of the incumbent ISPs in this country, but they do have something of a point there.
Wow, Verizon... dumb move.
At most I've only had two choices for ISP - Comcast and Time Warner. Currently I have one "option" - Charter.

I guess you could add mobile providers to the list if you count mobile hotspots as broadband. That would be an additional 1-4 providers in most areas.
But peering really only links the network at the "top level". Verizon could still have lots of congestion within their network which would cause lack of end-to-end available bandwidth.
