Also, the resume says that you were Marketing Director somewhere, and that you were CTO at a company with 2000 employees. Is that actually true? If not, why are you trying to imply it? That's the type of bullshit on a resume that's very easy to see through, and makes people lose trust immediately.
Netflix is demanding huge network upgrades without any additional revenue source.

I think a lot of us would have more sympathy with the ISPs' situation if they hadn't consistently and for a very long time been promoting their services as ever more valuable by offering ever higher bandwidth, yet keeping quiet about little things like massive over-subscription and high contention ratios that meant if all their users actually tried to use the service that was purportedly being offered then no-one would get anywhere near the advertised speeds they were paying for.

With the rise of things like streaming video services and Internet telephony, some people are actually trying to pull significant volumes of data down the pipes relative to the advertised size of pipe available. Everyone's known this was coming for a long time, and no-one more so than the ISPs. The way I see it, if the current situation hurts ISPs that failed to invest or set a realistic pricing model, they'll just have to take their medicine and offer a more realistic deal to customers next time (or fail because they can't compete effectively).
That use case should fit then, shouldn’t it?

UI fonts are not supposed to be used for large blocks of text. UI fonts are used for, well, basically “titles and signs”.
In New Zealand the 2013 census had 40% declared No Religion. Just under 50% are Christian, a full 12% were undeclared.
I think there was humor in it, but it was humor in him being aware that it is objectively weird to spend a lot of time on something as trivial as a trash can icon. But in the context of Apple's history, it is a testament to their attention to detail.

I have no doubt that they did spend what most companies would consider a ridiculous amount of time on it. And that's why it's funny.
Agreed. I wish they'd focus more attention on the kernel. Many of the system processes frequently run amok consuming excessive cpu or memory. And the filesystem is hopelessly outdated.
I've seen this argument about Netflix's oversized traffic slice, but it always seems to me like it should mean the opposite: if Netflix is 35% of the reason people sign up for broadband, isn't Netflix making broadband more valuable? People are willing to pay more for broadband because Netflix makes it worth more to them. So shouldn't the broadband providers be paying Netflix rather than the other way around? You never hear the cable TV providers complaining that a particular channel has gotten too popular. What's different here?
One approach to this problem is to look at where certain religions branched off from one another.

Mormonism branched off from Protestant Christianity.

So if you zoom out far enough, it is in the Christian "family," historically speaking.
Australian scientists may have “heard” flight MH370 crash into the Indian Ocean
A lot of people already mentioned the problems with your resume, so I won't mention that again.

Where are you located? I haven't worked w/ PHP for 8 years and I'm really not sure what the market looks like but learning other newer technologies such as Rails could potentially make a much big market available to you.

I know in the Bay Area, Jr Rails engineers are in super high demand.
"why does Verizon have to subsidize their costs of business?"

Because I, a Verizon customer, have paid to access Netflix.

I pay monthly for bandwidth to use as I see fit. It doesn't matter if all of the customers are using their bandwidth to go to one source. It doesn't matter: it's our bandwidth to use how we see fit.

It is Verizon's responsibility to provide us with the service that we are paying for. They advertise a service, they market this service, and they charge us for the service: but then fail to deliver on their promises because they're charging someone else too?

They sell us capped packages and tell us we have a set amount of data. We cannot exceed the data, because the infrastructure can't take it and we have to pay for our usage. We have to pay for our demand, that's the point of caps. Make the users pay for using.

That to me implies that we are paying for a set amount of data! That we are paying for it, not anyone else.

We pay for the upgrades that are necessary to deliver data to our homes. That is the point of a subscription.

This is like saying: all of the telephone customers are calling Pizza Hut, so Pizza Hut needs to pay the phone company to upgrade the switches at the Phone Company. What???

We've already paid for the infrastructure required to deliver the data we're paying for.
"When HFT engages in front running, they have detected that an order is coming down the pike, and they jump in front at the last nanosecond."

This is not possible.
Education doesn't, but police and fire definitely do: police because beat cops reduce crime for everyone, so they're a natural monopoly. Fire as well, since stopping houses burning down helps stop the entire neighborhood (especially when you have close-together row houses) burning down.

Healthcare is arguably a public good, at least as far as vaccinations and contagious diseases go, since herd immunity is a large way to fight them (especially for contagious diseases for which we have 80%-90% effective vaccines). Not so sure about other illnesses (like cancer) though. I'm personally for socialized medicine for other reasons (humanitarian), but I agree that the natural monopoly argument is not applicable there.
Do you quit your job when your boss does something you don't like? The government will live on beyond this administration and hopefully the site will as well. I don't know what privacy you can expect when they hold the keys, my expectation would be 0. Finally, government procurement is always littered with inefficiency and occasionally large scale corruption. These questions really answer themselves.

Now if only you had asked something about technology.
>I dunno if it's the same in the US but apparently it's some typically restricted resource that many providers in the UK are lifting the limits off.

No, this isn't too typical. Most people have their own router offering WiFi in front of the cable modem. It wasn't until recently that cable companies started bundling wi-fi and NAT into the modem.
The delivery of the comment was jovial in nature, but I do believe him that the team spent considerable time refining the trash can until they were satisfied with its look.
Lots of great data poorly presented.

Also browser killer.
In infrastructure mode, all WiFi traffic goes through the access point. Whether or not, from a configuration perspective, the access point lets you meddle with traffic that passes through it is a separate question, but I don't think there's anything wireless-protocol-wise that precludes it.
It's probably both. Having an incentive and an ideological position that align doesn't automatically invalidate the ideological position. I don't think that the net neutrality position is nonsensical, personally so I'm glad to have companies with an interest in it champion it.

I also think that there these peerage agreement create an untruthful dynamic with their customers, the point about transparency is valid. People think they are buying "internet" access at a certain speed, not different speeds for different sites. If Verizon thinks it's OK for the speed of their customers' connection to be dependant upon "interconnect agreements" or whatever, then letting their customers know about this isn't defamation. If they do have a problem with their customers knowing, then maybe they should be making sure their customers get what they expect (or expect what they get).

In any case, I don't see how this is foul play on Netflix' part. As long as the message they display is true, why should't they be able to display it? Even if the message openly advised their customers to switch away from Verizon, I don't see a foul.
My first concern is what happens to daemons when they can't write to the FUSE mount because this program is down or misbehaving. I believe many daemons would misbehave, block, or die. That scares me but maybe I'm being paranoid.

I think all the arguments against log shippers are pretty weak, workarounds are simple, especially if the alternative introduces any instability.
Wow. I am a huge foodie and a big fan of Alinea. I am surprised they actually blog about data and thought process behind the ticketing system. I completely understand the reasoning behind this. High demand for a table at Alinea allows them to do this. I think this will work for very limited number of restaurants like Per Se, TFL, Saison, etc., but will not apply to majority of other restaurants. The big difference between Open Table vs Alinea is for Alinea, you actually need to pay upfront. The demand and the quality of the restaurant allows Alinea to do that, but again, does not work majority of restaurants when there is no single fixed menu.
I can't figure out where you are. Will post this link in case it is at all relevant:

I don’t think that’s the case at all. He was telling you that they spent a lot of time on the trashcan, knowing that sounds a little ridiculous. That’s where the humour was, not in the designers at Apple not actually caring about the trashcan. It was certainly not set up as an ironic statement in any way.

If Apple didn’t really spend a lot of time on the trashcan then he was just dishonest, but not saying something in jest.
This looks great but it is closed source. Perhaps that will change with his crowd finding? Until it becomes OSS there is no way I can use it
Two things:

1. You could write an OS X application for your back end services, and use a OS X hosting company (there are some) or use a mac mini, etc. in a colo rack. But, you would not have a rich server side software tools infrastructure like JBoss, Tomcat, Yesod, etc.

2. use another language like Haskell, Java, etc. on the server.
Which, given my layman's understanding, implies that the policy is at the same time idiotic and genius. More specifically, the deposits are mandatory and under the liquidity coverage ratio in Basel. Therefore, the negative rate will only have the intended effect as long as the financial institutions maintain a higher than required coverage. That extraneous buffer being minimised, the incentive will be to keep liquidity in government bonds and especially those from big economies with good ratings, essentially moving liquidity to the centre of the European economy (Germany and maybe France.) Therefore, the periphery economies will be funding the central ones. Genius. Or Idiocy. From a purely theoretic perspective, the efficiency of these economies should be bolstered, but this happens to the detriment of the periphery and more or less diminishes their chance to balance their performance. The question is whether the goal of the Euro Area is economic performance or economic balance and stability.
Duh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlefish
Spam filtering is pretty good these days, I don't get much spam to my inbox that isn't CAN-SPAM compliant. The interesting take away is that Canadians are still getting pissed off enough at CAN-SPAM passable spam to pass new legislation.

In other words "legitimate business" is pissing people off so much that the state is willing to intervene.
HFT of type #1 means that you can go to any market and roughly get the same deal.

IE: You can purchase a stock in Euros in some European exchange, OR you can purchase a stock in Dollars on the NYSE. In both cases, you get the same value.

This equivalence in value only exists because traders perform arbitrage on fractions of a penny over the course of milliseconds. And thanks to HFTs, any divergence in value larger than a penny or so is arbitraged away within miliseconds.

This is a solid service for all involved, and HFTs are the ones who take the risks behind arbitrage. (IE: if the markets move in an unpredictable way)
Canadian law can't be applied to foreign entities.

Of course it can. If they do business in Canada or maintain any assets their those transactions can be blocked or the assets frozen. Many developed countries have reciprocal agreements on things like court judgments, asset seizure and so forth. It's not the same as for a firm based in Canada, but it's not toothless either.
Come on! That's sidestepping the issue. If you can change all clients and servers at the same time, there's no need for protocol versioning...
Arizona and Delaware are the only two states where Hindus is the second most popular religion. That's very interesting, considering these states are not too close to each other.
I agree about rational commodity markets. However, I am not sure everyday consumers are benefiting from cheap loans. I think cheap mortgages have driven up house prices, cheap student loans have driven up tuition.
Try getting a table with a few days notice at Osteria Nico in Chicago. Nico isn't Alinea; it is a restaurant you might go to for a good meal, and not a life experience. And yet your odds of getting a prime-time table there this year are pretty bad. There are lots of non-event restaurants that would be more customer-friendly with some sort of ticketing scheme; not for every table and every time, but for hotspots?
Netflix is not using the capacity, they are selling access to the content. The customers are using 35% of the traffic. The customers who pay for access to content they want. Most people want Netflix because it is a sea/wonderland of content and is replacing tv. Netflix is not consuming the content, they are providing it, the customers, who pay for the access, are consuming the content and bandwidth.

Content services should not be harmed for being successful. If the bandwidth customers are desiring certain content providers it is the bandwidth providers responsibility to make sure it is available and fast, per their marketing and products.
Top talent has access to thousands of other well paying roles. You cannot treat them the same way companies treat regular employees (badly). If you give them pointless work, or work without career growth, they can up and leave in a heartbeat. If you try and bully them or pressure them to work long hours or place pointless restrictions (dress code, start times, vacation policy, etc) on them they will leave.
How do you determine what information is legitimately private and what is not? If the only information that is ever transmitted under encryption is that which your adversary doesn't want you to transmit -- that is, if the only encrypted traffic is communication which the oppressor regime doesn't want to allow -- then the oppressor regime can easily prevent all encrypted traffic from reaching its destination. The only way to fight that is to encrypt everything. And if everything is secret, how do you prevent piracy? You can't. It is impossible.

Thus, the only way piracy is ever going to be fought is through examples being made. A grandmother who inadvertently downloaded Madonnas latest album by mistake is sentenced to pay millions in damages. A teenager listening to her favorite band is sentenced to ten years in prison.

What is worse? Ruining someone's life because they listened to the music they like, or musicians /possibly/ not getting paid as much as they /possibly/ might have earned, were there no internet?

I know what I think is the right response to that. And I say that as a person who once thought he'd make a living making music. Of course, wanting to do that and actually being able to are completely separate things. Perhaps it's not the piracy which is holding the musician back. Perhaps they are just not good enough.

Subscriptions Implementation Guide – Stripe
My bank robocalls me every couple months to say they've deactivated a card due to suspicious activity. These are invariably false positives -- my own transactions, usually under $50, at merchants close to my home, where I've shopped regularly for years.

Then there are actual fraudulent transactions, usually over $500, far from my home, where I've never shopped. The bank's fraud detection systems can't seem to detect this obvious abuse, so I check my statements online every couple weeks to catch it myself.

This means the security researchers are actually studying and trying to fix OpenSSL.

I think it's good news.
This is a very important issue that failed in our last attempt.

As we put so many resources behind that attempt, this proves it's a difficult problem to solve that requires more resources.

It logically follows that more taxpayer money is required for the next iteration. How else could we solve such an important problem?
I can't find a link to the actual project on the article. Is it just me? lol
Postmortem: Huzon.tv – face recognition social marketing for TV news
The only problem is that arbitrage tax is hard to measure, while sales loads and management fees are predictable values. But I agree with your point overall.

Getting pennies skimmed off of my trades is not nearly as big a deal as a 0.1% yearly recurring fee on say... a $100,000 retirement account. (ie: $100 / year). Those tiny percentages add up to a huge amount of money in the long run.

I've heard of reports of 1.5% or even higher management fees (or ~$1,500+ / year in this example)
Are these devs working on healthcare.gov being paid or volunteering?
And the arrows aren't vertically aligned with the buttons. I don't despair, it's common of Apple to make big changes and gradually improve over time, Aqua wasn't perfect, but in Mountain Lion (despite not being truly Aqua, it has evolved to a certain perfection.) – what Apple have released in Yosemite is for developers, it will surely change before the open summer beta, and it will surely change again before Golden Master.
PSD.rb is also not intended for production use. Among other inadequacies, it's painfully slow.

That's what PSD Native is for: http://layervault.tumblr.com/post/82315160104/psd-rb-and-psd...
Mostly from scratch.

Cannot speak directly to experience of original developers, but I could see moving target as being an issue.

Would love to see our code open sourced someday and be useful to others, especially state exchanges, but that is a long-term goal. Currently we are laser-focused on getting everything ready to ship by next open enrollment.
Who says it's a better experience? I always think of progressive images as wasting resources by transmitting worthless information (the unintelligibile progressive image) along with the image I want to see. Text in a progressive jpeg tends to be a smear until you have the whole thing anyway.

Kim Dotcom offers $5M bounty for leaks exposing the alleged Megaupload injustice

I'm a new grad, so I'm definitely going to get a lot of experience with this company. But I just feel that if I pour 60hr/week into it, I don't wanna exit the company 4 yrs later with nothing.
A natural monopoly doesn't mean it provides a public good, it means that a single entity can provide the service more efficiently than multiple competing entities.
I've read elsewhere that business class internet connections are regulated by a different set of law than last mile residential connections.
Well, since a long time ago, i could not accept that some developers would title themselves as "Front-End Developer", or "Web Developer"...

It's like WTF!!! You are a Developer, why would you want to stay just in web development? if you're a developer you can move on anything you want anytime!! Why are you locking yourself just into "Web Developer"?

Well, that's my rage... Lots of answers from friends, basically, they are all afraid of tools they've never used, and they don't even bother to try them out.

I like to do any kind of work, from deployment scripts, load balancers, distributed computing, web front-end, desktop front-end, mobile, database, hell, i like to be part of all the entire project!! I've have a lot of luck because i've always been in small companies, and maybe we don't deliver the best solution, but the solutions work, and work really well, i have developed lots of systems, and they are not a headache to support, so i'm proud of what we have achieved...

But recently, when people ask you "what kind of developer are you", you can't just say "i'm a developer", because, i don't know why, but people assume that you don't know Web, SQL, FrontEnd, etc... And magically, a "Web Developer" is way better than just a "Developer". That happened to me lots of times, just because my title said "Developer", people that didn't knew me don't consider me for projects.

That's why i am now using the "Full-Stack Developer" title, you just can't use any other title on today's market. I don't want to be doing just "Web Frontend", or "Database Administrator", or "CI Manager"... Heck, i want to participate in all the project.

And i agree with other people here, a Full Stack doesn't needs to be a guru on every language/framework. You just need to know how to assemble everything to make it work. And it WILL NEVER be perfect, because requirements change everyday, but your stack can evolve to adapt to those changes.

Same goes for a "Frontend Developer"... A frontend developer can be really bad frontend developer, but he's a frontend developer because he wants to do only that and is happy whit that...

I believe a Full Stack developer is a guy that is not afraid to solve a problem in any stack of the system, not a guru or a genius.

Well, that's my point of view.
> What you're trying to sell me is the idea that poor compatibility is a feature?
No. I'm telling you that broad compatibility is a feature that is genuinely unnecessary for a significant set of users.

I'm not one of them, BTW. I've got my MacBook Pro for toting around, my Windows desktop for gaming, a Linux box for streaming, sharing, and storage, and an Android phone for phone stuff. Each of them does what I need it to. Horses for courses.

But there are plenty of people whose use case is "I need an OS that works as soon as I unbox the laptop." For those people, compatibility is not an issue, nor should it be.
cool idea; super annoying when you're trying to type an email with words beginning with p though…
Ah, apparently I overlooked that multiple times. Thanks :)
Chimps Are Better at Strategic Reasoning Than Humans Are
Top aligned with the arrows? Weird choice, if it is a choice at all and not coincidence. If it is on purpose, I would like to see a version with larger traffic lights that also align with the bottom of the arrows. Those might be too large, but I would want to see them, anyways.
First, as a latin american activist, thank you for supporting Tor!!

Please consider the following... It's better for the Tor network to don't have a limit on the bandwidth and let the relay just hibernate when it reachs the 500 GB. If you are able to do this, please give it a try.

Again, thank you!
Batch auctions do not deal with the central problem which is tie-breakers. What happens if there are more participants on one side of a price level than the other? What mechanism do you use to determine ties?

If it is FIFO then you still have a latency race.
Ask HN: How to recover from a series of short stints?
During the beginning of my career as a developer, I made some critical mistakes that led to my leaving several organizations before the one year mark. I am currently having difficulty finding work and I worry that this is because I now have a reputation as a "job hopper".

Is there any way to recover from this? Or will I always be relegated to the "Do Not Hire" list due to my somewhat shaky past?
