Always in the process of learning the next skill. Excellent command of written English and spoken / written Italian.

Able to seamlessly switch from being a team manager to becoming yet another dev in another team, and working 110% in either situation for the common goal.

Bitcoin is only 4 years old. Maybe it just takes a little longer to take over Visa in transaction volume? I really don't know what people like you expected.

If it proceeds to double in size every year then the numbers will stop being 'incredibly low' very soon.

That makes it out of reach. You cannot falsify the many-worlds-interpretation simply with interference. All other interpretations make the very same predictions.
Getting past my insecurities by talking at meetups
If English is not your first language God help the rest of us :)

I think your observation and analysis is spot on. And I think I may add to your assessment with a couple of other points.

1) "Imposter Syndrome" is an 'in' phrase at the moment, its use as currency marks out the speaker as being part of an 'in' crowd. Similarly when people use the expressions "onboarding" or "I'll just leave this here" or "ping" or "tl;dr" or any of the countless other expressions that serve as social status plumage.

2) The entire article implies being the author is smart. Look at me, I'm smart -- this is an unwritten all-but-explicit large part of the message of this post.

3) This is the type of post that HNers lap up. It's hip, it's got the right bounce, it talks about trendy social phenomena, weaves a satisfyingly yummy narrative. You have to ask yourself why these types of posts get so many comments and upvotes.

It's the first option everyone you know turns off, but don't mistake anyone who even knows that Hacker News exists with a typical computer user.
It's unfortunate the Julia community doesn't have enough resources to maintain their website.

The available version was 0.2 for ages (I see now they offer a pre-release 0.3), and the blog hasn't been updated for 9 months.

Some simple posts every month or so would signal that this is a live, worked-on, language (which it is, and interesting stuff happens all the time).

It was difficult to even find out about JuliaCon -- no banner, no blog post, nothing, just a small link in the main site navigation, that one can easily not notice.
I do. I've spent a grand total of about five minutes on 4chan, so maybe I've missed the good bits, but it strikes me as utter garbage. I expect they're looking for highly intelligent individuals of a certain kind.
If you are running a service that needs to be up all the time this is ideal. For other scenarios, what you describe is probably appropriate.

With burstable instances, you accumulate 6 CPU credits every hour so you can run at 100% load for an hour, once per 10 hours for t2.medium (once every 13.3 hours for t2.medium; once every 15 hours for t2.micro)

It would be nice to have a credit window greater than 24 hours though.

EDIT: ColinCera pointed out the math is incorrect. Updated and removed erroneous conclusion.
This reminds me of a friend of mine:

Interesting, it looks like the t2 instances aren't available as spot instances.
Agreed. I've had to return things, replace damaged shipments, etc. Newegg has always been extremely helpful. I guess dishonest people can't imagine a scenario where merchants behave that way to, I don't know, retain customers instead of being forced to because their payments are being held hostage.
Isolated community bubbles are present in many industries with equally damaging effects. It's arrogance to assume it's just Tech because the 'unique selling point' of tech seems to be intelligence (ironically, probably the most common 'unique' selling point).
Fashion, Film, Finance, Politics all have their own problems stemming from a self-selecting isolated elite.
Ok, I think I understand what you're saying in principle, but I still don't really understand how HFT, or indeed anyone who is only trading on prices, adds liquidity as you have defined it, beyond the addition of their initial capital: it's not having quick trades that makes a market liquid, just having available trading partners with enough capital to complete the trade you want. It strikes me that, if you roughly assume that price-based trading is random, then all that fast trading "really" does is speed up the process by which some people randomly lose their money and others are randomly given that money (those people generally being the price-based traders themselves, presumably, because they will be the ones involved in the majority of the trades).

So my follow-up question is: what is the particular benefit of being able to trade as quickly as possible?

And a related, more specific, question that might be easier to target and explain: I'm sure I've heard people suggesting capping trading frequency (which might be a ridiculous idea, I don't know); how would doing so harm liquidity?

Also, just to clarify my previous question about cost, I was trying to refer to the "cost to the system", rather than direct costs. I'm not sure I can properly define what I mean by that, but I suppose it would be something like if the total revenue going to the HFT firms or similar people was greater than the return to the rest of the system of having their services. I'm not really convinced by market arguments against such cost/benefit inversions taking place, because inertia and changing circumstances can move institutions from being helpful to being unhelpful without markets being in a position to compensate.

If I've made any other bad assumptions, please point them out as well.
That question shows the typical nerd-misunderstanding of law as a rule-based system with distinct outputs. They think the rule must be "no for-profit company can ever benefit from the work of the charity" and are pointing out how the rule is stupid so the rule must not exist.

IANAtaxL, in fact IANAL of any kind, but my reading is that the IRS doesn't want companies to set-up fig-leaf charities that absorb and hide their normal business functions.
I was lucky enough to have Tim Gowers as a lecturer in my first term of university (hmm... 2002) when he gave a lecture course introducing number theory, set theory, combinatorics and axiomatic construction of number systems. It was intoxicating to be taught by someone who was (a) brilliant, and (b) so thoroughly enthusiastic about mathematics. I eventually routed off into applied math and physics, but I look back on those initial lectures fondly, and still have an appreciation for the kind of "problem solving" mathematics that he taught.
> a really, really specific conference

Not bad thing perhaps. A focused group of people sharing some experience, meeting each other. Even as narrow as it is you can already explore a whole bunch of topics: security, caching, authentication, web-sockets, spdy, proxying, failover/ha, writing modules, video streaming. Can make it practical (here is how to configure this or that) or share battle stories. That's probably enough to fill a whole day with multiple tracks.
Scribie.com - Bangalore, India

Position: Head of Marketing, full time.

We are an Mturk like system dedicated for audio/video transcription where you can get high quality transcripts of your interviews, meetings, dictations, lectures, podcasts etc. We have a four stage process where the initial work is done by our freelance certified transcribers, which is then QA'ed by our in-house team. We have achieved a good product-market fit and are poised for high growth.

The primary job responsibility is to drive revenue growth. We are looking to grow faster than our historical growth rate of 50% y-o-y. The aim is to dominate the market we're in and take the pole position. We are looking for someone up to this challenge.

If interested, please drop me a note at rajiv@scribie.com.
The language stability of Rust has already reached somewhere similar to Python 2.0: no core features would be removed, so some syntactic changes can occur before 1.0 but that wouldn't invalidate any effort to learn the language before 1.0. Would you say that Python 2.0 is not very useful because it is constantly changing and some features even get removed (albeit quite slowly)?
Police have failed to take any action on this.

If people gave the money they can (at least in England) mount a private criminal prosecution. That's very rare, but it does happen.

I'm pleased that MS is doing this. So long as it stays open, scrutinised by the courts, and restricted to massive malware botnets the results are good for almost everyone.

# Who are we?

There’s a new way to stay in a city. onefinestay is a trusted service for hosts to flexibly share their homes while they’re out of town. We give guests the best bits of a boutique hotel stay inside some of the most distinctive homes around.

----

# Why does onefinestay need developers?

As well as continuously improving http://www.onefinestay.com we’re building a whole bevy of tools to support the very real, very logistical business that depends on technology, from mobile tools to scheduling systems. Here’s a snapshot of some of the things we're currently working on, will be working on soon, or maybe just finished.

- Updating the entire online pre-stay experience for guests (we call it, online check-in)

- Launched a brand new online magazine with custom cms called The Edition

# Who do we want?

We're looking for someone who can question the status quo, bring new ideas to the table, see the full potential of a new feature (and push it to realisation), or if necessary tone down something that is getting out of hand. Everyone on the team is a fullstack developer, to some degree. But our django heavy application is moving more and more to the client in order to keep our interfaces as usable as possible. We'd like you to have some experience with server-side code in a production environment, but if yours isn’t in python or django, don't worry, there’ll be plenty of time to learn. With that in mind, we’re looking for:

- High-level ability in HTML/CSS (SASS)

- MVC style application development with javascript (backbone, underscore, react)

- Some experience with server side frameworks (django, RoR, express)

- Ability to work with our product team to develop high quality user experience

- Strong knowledge of web standards and cross-browser compatibility

There's a bunch of other stuff that will go a long way to get us excited:

- Experience with source control (git, mercurial)

- Experience with agile development methodologies

- Comfortable working with pre-processors such as browserify, React's jsx format

- Experience with CI and automated testing (jenkins, jasmine)

----

# What we can offer you?

- Competitive salaries

- Stock options

- A social work environment filled to the brim with talented developers

- Your choice of dev environment (on the penthouse floor of our sweet new offices)

- Time to expand and grow your skills

Zalora is (still) hiring Haskellers, DevOps engineers and data scientists. We sell clothing online in 7 Asian countries, are almost three years old and raised several hundred million dollars.

We don't save the world, but we have millions of happy customers. There's interesting challenges that come from trying to rewrite a codebase in a purely functional style and from coping with operations in countries speaking different languages, selling a hundred thousand distinct SKUs. Singapore's a nice, warm place with low taxes, cheap cost of living and a highly functional first world government and infrastructure, but if you want to stay in your farm in Sweden and work remotely, that's also OK.

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in NYC and Baltimore)

I'm a technical marketer, and here's how I can help your startup:

* Get traction faster (for early-stage startups).

* Turn more visitors into users (for growing startups).

I do this with any or all of the following, depending on your unique case: Funnel analysis, conversion optimization, A/B testing, SEO, email campaigns and automated emails, content planning, and usability studies.

What makes me different from most marketing consultants:

* I can roll up my sleeves and write code when needed. This saves you design and development time on small optimization improvements. (HTML/CSS, basic JS and jQuuery, Github).

* I'm certified in Optimizely, the A/B testing tool.

* I come from an engineering background (naval engineering), so I love solving real problems. User acquisition for early startups is a great challenge for me to solve.

This does seem to make sense, the more aware of your environment you are (the more you know), the more modest you become when you realise you don't know it all.

I hardly think modesty is a curse.
In other words "please tell us the names of books that you're not ashamed for people to know that you are reading".

Is anyone here reading some absolute trash like Dan Brown, or do we only read "good" books?

I'll start. I've just read "Full Assault Mode" by Dalton Fury. The action is good, but the account of hacking a nuclear power station using iPhones is completely risible.

I'm now reading I, Claudius which is a lot better.
