This makes no sense to me. It seems like the major effort would be involved in examining the applicant is necessary in both cases, since that requires collecting individual information and exercising judgement.

The difference between the two is simply and administrative choice of how the queue of available licenses is managed..

You have done nothing to explain why the amount of work is any different between the two cases. You have simply asserted that it is.
I think this is the most interesting excerpt from the study:

"The level of incentive compensation is significantly negatively related to the forward ROA, while the level of cash compensation is positively related to the level of ROA.

Overall, we conclude that our results seem most consistent with the hypothesis that overconfident CEOs accept large amounts of incentive pay and consequently engage in value destroying activities that translate into future reductions in returns and firm performance. "
I find it interesting how it compare to the compare to the current bootstrap design, especially this example : http://bootstrapdocs.com/v1.4.0/examples/container-app.html

What bothers me about 4k is the switching of terms.

4k makes it sound like it has 4 times the vertical resolution of 1080p, but for pure marketing reasons, suddenly instead of the 4k referring to vertical resolution as 1080 did, it refers to horizontal resolution, so is really only twice the horizontal resolution of the 1920 that 1080p had. Overall that's 4 times the pixels because of squaring, but still!
The UK is probably more relaxed about this than the US but I can imagine situations where people watching legal[1] porn could come under sever pressure at work because of it. Scout masters watching gay porn; headmasters watching legal but "teen" porn; teachers watching BDSM; etc - these are all people doing something legal that has no impact on their job but who would face severe pressure at work, and may well lose their job inder a variety of "disrepute" clauses.

[1] the legal situation in the UK for porn is not straightforward.
Well the upside in best case scenario is huge and the downside in worst case scenario is that I got way better at node.

Short answer: you can't (at least not immediately). Longer answer is that a good entrepreneur executes and exposes themselves to the harsh feedback of the market, while a delusional dreamer talks a lot and avoids contact with reality.

All multi level marketing companies are cultish by nature. Realities such as market saturation simply don't exist, you're just not working hard enough / recruiting hard enough.

I spent a lot of time in south Florida, where it seems everyone in non-professional careers is hustling the newest MLM. The MLM recruiters are in turn driving their recruits into workshops like Landmark Forum, which is not a cult but is certainly cult-like. It promises the participant a "breakthough" in personal or professional life, but nearly everyone who participates in Landmark is there primarily to increase their MLM recruiting fu.

I see where things are confused. In this case, I guess it depends on whether you store the entire sequence of states of the application or if you're storing the entire sequence of events emitted.

I was thinking of the former, while you were thinking of the latter. If the entire state of the application is contained in one place, you don't need to reply events from the beginning. You just need the application state at the point.
Agreed. Paper is still US only too. With Paper I can understand it a bit more (work out the bugs) but this is a social app. The more people who have access the more successful it will be especially considering you needs friends using it to able to use it.
Is that $2200/month per person for the 2 bedroom apartment in Boerum Hill or total? I only ask because $2200/month for any 2 bedroom in Brooklyn these days sounds like a blessing, never mind in Boerum Hill.

My friend left her studio apartment in Clinton Hill and the rent jumped from $1500/month to $2300/month between 2010 and 2012.

Another friend's landlord in Greenpoint has been using 5 units in his building as an AirBnB hotel and is now asking $4500/month for 3 bedroom units in the rest of the building. And those "bedrooms" are really just plywood separators.

Another friend just signed a lease for a $3k/month 1 bedroom with a garden in Bed Stuy.

I love living in Brooklyn but I'm getting pretty tired of seeing the same fancy cocktail places, $16 burger joints, and exorbitant asking prices on apartments deeper and deeper into bk.

No waste at all, you raised a good point :). Emoji are technically ideograms, not logograms ... though some of the Han characters are ideographic in origin/conception too (and then you get into cool things like compound ideograms), they just didn't stay purely ideographic.
Persistence of vision depends on the ambient brightness. Movies are 24FPS but they're shown in a dark room so the jitter isn't as bad.

A 30FPS screen in similar conditions wouldn't be as bad, but most people use computer screens in well it rooms.

The flickering on an LCD is different, but presents itself as a serious sputtering when you're moving things around.

This is a really neat tool, and I look forward to using it. I can think of a number of uses, already - analyses of mailbox activity, statistics and metrics collection, business-processes being interfaced with email, and so on. Heck, I guess I could use this to replace my recent interest in PlanLeaf (email-based todo manager) with my own custom version.

On a side note - its funny how things flow on HN sometimes - yesterday I played with PlanLeaf, and had the thought 'nice, but it'd be even nicer to just have the code to process emails properly', and now .. along comes a stack that gives me a way to do just that ..
11k RPM is not as fast as you might think. That 660,000 RPH * ~8 inch diamiter circle. So outer edge is 3.14*8inch/12/5280 ~= .0004 miles per revolution or 260MPH. But the center is stationary so actual force is a little less than you can throw it.

Edit: Camera is not centered on the iPhone. So if you center the camera it's worse than that. I would personally not stand anywhere near it.

The ASUS PB287Q, AOC U2868PQU and Samsung U28D590D all support UHD resolutions at 60Hz and DisplayPort 1.2 SST. That means that they support working with just "one tile", they don't give the problems the previous dual-tile solutions.

I don't really see the problem with these new monitors that are good enough for most people. Good price, the TN panels are quite decent (confirmed by reviews both at The Tech Report (http://techreport.com/review/26510/4k-for-649-asus-pb287q-mo...) and KitGuru (http://www.kitguru.net/peripherals/monitors/zardon/aoc-u2868...).

Yes, you do need the best GPUs in order to take advantage of games in 4K. And yes, OS support is still incomplete. Anyway those trade offs are not that important if you are not a gamer and you can take advantage of that desktop area.

There's always good reasons for waiting. They could lead to never take advantage of improvements: you know, new improvements could be on the horizon when the ones you waited for finally arrive. And the story repeats itself...

The article merely scratches the surface. We can probably agree that corporations have certain structural flaws, but I doubt making a CEOs life more burdensome - who would take the job under a claw-back regime without some kind of financial protection? - will improve the picture.

One line of inspiration come from government - maybe a bicameral board - one for managing quarterlies, the other for longer horizons - might fix some issues.

Another might be to limit cronyism - boards seats given to CEO appointees, or limiting the number of board seats a person can hold.
A reasonable salary is not $28 million a year.
In my experience I have gotten better salaries when I went through a recruiter. I am a terrible negotiator and they have greater knowledge about going rates for my skills and what the employer is willing to pay.
I've noticed that the prices on their site are almost always lower (and sometimes considerably lower e.g. $2 / lbs less) than the actual price of the item at the store. I'm not sure if what I'm being charged is the price that is listed on the site or the actual price of the item. It could be if the item is less they keep the difference, but if the item is more they add on the charge.

The reason full-time internal recruiters tend to operate very differently to external recruiters is primarily because the incentive is entirely different.

Full-time internal recruiters are rarely financially incentivised per hire or to hit targets. If they are, I'd strongly argue that the company employing them is utilising the recruiter incorrectly.

External recruiters live and die by their targets and their commission. Money is a terrible incentive (possibly the worst) for encouraging recruiters to actually help their candidates or clients.

Just like the best engineers/designers/etc, the best recruiters are those that go above and beyond simply to help their company succeed. When you use an external recruiter, that company is an agency.
> The monopoly bit is a subsidy, sure there are strings attached but they could also be attached to using government land like roads.

The rate regulation and universal service requirement more than outweigh the advantage from the monopoly. At the end of the day, regulated local monopolies make lower returns than unregulated companies.

> PS: Subsidizing undeserved or low population areas is paying for the last mile, it's not like they don't get to charge the new customers.

That money doesn't come out of the government's pocket. It comes from a tax on the company: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Service_Fund#Backgrou... ("As of the first quarter of 2013, the USF fee, equals 16.1 percent of a telecom company's interstate end-user revenues. As of the second quarter of 2013, the USF fee is 15.5 percent.") Second, the telecom company is not allowed to charge the new customers the cost of actually providing the service.

Not sure you can draw such a hard line between audio/video since all the rumors point to this subscription service essentially being both:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/27/apk-teardown-youtube...

i.e. By enabling the Android/iOS Youtube app to background (which they've gone out of their way to disable up until this point), it essentially becomes an audio streaming service with the same interface.

Plus according to the FT, the problem the indie labels have isn't with the subscription rate per se, its how the new ad tier is set up:

"One label boss said the big problem with YouTube’s new licensing agreement was not to do with the paid tier, but rather that it allowed YouTube to make substantial enhancements to its free tier. His fear is that YouTube’s free tier will become so attractive that it will reduce the number of people willing to pay for subscription services such as Spotify or Deezer."
I never 'had' religion - I was raised by atheists. So, I never had a 'void' to fill.

Here's an old thread that somewhat addresses your question (4K monitor + rMBP) -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7022050

I tried this configuration out a few months ago (new rMBP, Sharp 4K, OS 10.9.1) at an Apple store and it was not satisfactory; there were color fringes around some fonts. But this may have changed.

Of course, 4K + Mac Pro is a supported configuration, and in my experience, it looks great.

True. And yet, it's also a very Elon move: vertical integration, making a big bet on growth, and doing so domestically in spite of theoretically lower-cost foreign production. (You can see all those factors in Tesla and SpaceX.)

Perhaps the Silveo technology convinced him that solar cells are not always commodity. And then he went with his usual instinct.

Well ambient brightness matters, but actually analog cinema projectors use a frame rate of 48 fps (they "flick" every movie frame twice), so it's still way above 30fps.

Plus, with CRTs the problem is exacerbated, because they scan top to bottom, and need higher refresh rate to hide this effect.

Lamson is an SMTP server which acts as the gateway for emails from the outside world to be put in your mail store.

Switchboard doesn't have any direct connection to SMTP. It monitors changes in your mail store using IMAP IDLE and issues events to workers which can then do basically whatever your heart desires.

(btw, we host our switchboard mailing lists on librelist.com which is a showcase for Lamson. cool project)
Why there is a sudden surge in options activity with no underlying stock movement or news could be very, very specific to the stock and requires understanding of why that might happen. I'm not sure computers have all the info they need (at this point in time) to make that determination with precise accuracy. But, you can simply ask the computer to notify you when it occurs so that you can use your brain to try to make sense of it.
Is there any evidence labels don't have option (3) provide some videos for free (presumably for promotional purposes) and pull the others? On what planet would Google forbid that? Practically speaking, how would they (absent the label cooperating for the takedowns by providing audio/video fingerprints, etc.)?

There might even be option (4) provide some videos for the paid service and pull the others, but that's more ambiguous because it's possible that could be forbidden contractually (e.g. if you participate in the paid services, you have to give it all videos you make public!y available or somesuch) and there are plausible reasons that Google might care.
Is it possible that what we're seeing here is a reversion to the mean[1] - CEOs who do particularly well some years get large pay packages, and then when their performance reverts to the mean in subsequent years they end up overpaid relative to performance?

Kudos to him for recognizing his personal bias and also to not allow it to color his views of research.

There's an interesting psychological phenomenon I've read about where if you offer someone a material reward in return for doing a job, it tends to make them enjoy the job less. In extreme cases, you can take something that a person really loves to do and make it feel like a burdensome chore for them, simply by saying, "I'll give you $X to do Y".

I wonder if this story could have something to do with that.
Thanks for the nice product, and well done on a polished release - I've been playing around with it for a few minutes and I'm finding that its not only a great tool, but I'm learning erlang to boot. :)

Since I sent my first email in the 80's, I've wanted to build business-logic systems with mail-based interfaces - things like, have an address such as "calendar@mydomain.com" which can be cc'ed on emails which might contain future scheduling events, and have the calendar@ client automatically work out the details of reminding everyone of the date-target that was set .. Seems to me that Switchboard would be the ideal platform upon which to develop such services .. among other things too. See any gotcha's?

Its always amazed me that automated email is not used more and more for basic business processes - sure, we have mailing lists and autoresponders and all sorts of things like that, but the fact that most language/tech stacks don't really treat email as the human-maintained message queue, with first class priorities, seems a little lacking .. I guess Switchboard is an attempt to make up for that. Anyway, thanks again - I'll certainly be devoting some research time to this tool, and I hope I can build something useful on top of it ..
It is if you're in high demand. LeBron James, for instance, earns $19MM per year and generates far more than that in revenues for the Miami Heat and NBA.
These tactics are driven by recruiting managers running a bullpen and stressing it's a numbers game. They'd encourage you to make 200 calls a day until someone bites. I'd rather make 20 targeted approaches (via email almost exclusively these days) than interrupt people that are working by phone unnecessarily.

Contingency recruiting and the incentives inherent in that model, again, is at the heart of the problem.

> government[s] are increasingly given powers to silence dissidence and legally rape people

1. Governments have always had these powers. The state has 'a monopoly on violence' and that can be abused in many different ways, without the need for pervasive surveillance. But it isn't, at least in the USA and the UK, we don't have 'death squads' roaming the streets or summary extra-judicial executions by firing squad for supporting the wrong political party, or having the wrong religion.

2. Wait, legally rape people... What?
$2200/month on a 40k salary is simply un-doable, so I'm guessing it's $2200 for the apartment, which is great.
