If McDonalds went back to fresh-ground beef for their burgers, they'd have something the other quick-serve restaurants don't.
if you're a military doctor not only do you save approximately $200k on the cost of your schooling you also far outearn civilian doctors over med school and residency. even top residency programs pay very little. until you make attending (or possibly fellow) you are probably making half of what your peers in the military are making. military doctors earn less for the last 4-6 years of their service but they more than makeup for it over the first 8-10
Did /r/Fitness have any influence on the site's success? What are your major traffic sources?
This strikes me more as a question of measuring what we have got, not what is useful.

I think that helping individuals to build their own graphs is really really powerful - and thin that into a "company I am working for now" role relationship / recruitment tool is where the money is

Hmm - I might just have an idea ...
Yeah, but make sure you do sleep enough. I neglected sleep for years, sleeping for 2-4 hours a day - on average, with sometimes 2-3 days without sleep at all - and I though I was doing fine. When it finally caught up to me I had a major epilepsy episode at the office, which was not nice. I since started to value a solid 8-9 hours sleep much more than before. This "much" of sleep is probably not really needed, but right now I'd rather be safe than (even more) sorry. YMMV ofc, but just keep in mind the dangers when deciding to sleep less to do something else.
Some times I think we are wired to believe we have to beg people's forgiveness for not being miserable. Medium term I'd suggest discarding this belief. Short term: on behalf of geeks everywhere, your local online watering hole hereby grants you permission to not be miserable.

Quit. There exist much better jobs out there. The hiring market for people with your skillset is the best it has ever been.

Level up. Portfolios are not, in fact, how most people get consulting gigs or jobs. This is believe due to availability bias by junior employees/consultants because portfolios are tangible and they have some sort of just world theory where the best gigs/jobs go to the people on the top of the ladder in programming skill. There is no one skill ladder. To the extent that there is, skill is not the primary driver of employment decisions.

P.S. The overwhelming majority of jobs are not in modern frameworks. Get good at Rails/AngulAr if they interest you or if you want to work in fields where they're the frameworks of choice. (Rails might be for Valley startups one of a few top contenders. I am insufficiently well acquainted with Angular to understand whether it is. Either way, neither will account for a full percentage point of LOC written in 2014.)

Also, if you haven't done so, I'd sit down and figure "What do I want to get out of my career?" and start optimizing for jobs which get you closer to those goals. This sounds obvious but some people don't do it. Do it. "A job which keeps a roof over my head and doesn't tax me mentally" is a perfectly valid answer but you don't seem to want that so don't continue to seek it out when you get up every morning.
I can see this backfiring if someone requests data in some ancient and obscure format just to be annoying.

Data needs to be provided in a reasonable and usable format; that imposes some responsibility on both the provider and the requester.
So, about those email validation regexes...
While it might be socially acceptable, we'd all also agree that going 5 over the posted speed limit is "breaking the law", which is exactly the problem - it's encouraging a societal norm of "kind of" following the law, which is extremely problematic (especially when you consider that enforcement is often not applied evenly.)
Just need to share my first reaction...

Your hero image with an example of a HUD should probably not be a prompt to watch a video. That's just about the most dangerous thing that a HUD could ask you to do.
Maybe it's just me, but I just don't understand why drivers feel like they need to receive/respond to their call/text while they are driving.

More often than not, someone other side won't realize I'm driving and see I can work out some magic until I tell them I'm driving.

Because of this annoyance I've started ignoring any attempts to reach me while I'm driving.

What would be cool service, actually would be the service that can cause call to go through only when it's really urgent, but caller only gets a certain number of "urgency" calls to be saved for REAL emergency.
This comment is pretty frightening to me. Email is very often used for "mission critical" purposes, not just for exchanging messages with other users (let alone just "with other users of the top 5 providers"). I know that enabling international characters is important for a whole range of reasons, and that's worth some significant costs. But email infrastructure is emphatically not something where "works most of the time" or even "works 95% of the time" is good enough. I think there really is a need for pretty substantial attention to backward compatibility in this case.
Not quite. Corporations don't have the power to imprison (or in the US, execute) you.
This is a terrible idea. If it were up to me I'd ban phones in cars entirely until self driving cars are a thing.

I'm surprised the OBD II port is capable of powering something like this. I hope they aren't cheating by running off the onboard battery while running and charging while the car is off.
heh although that would work I think sticking with natural language is better, it's really not that hard to parse "word word number word number"
The problem is the law, and I sort of sympathize with the interviewers because they have to be seen as being completely blind to the "subjectivity" of the personal case, and rely solely on documentation. Logically, it makes so sense for me to stay illegally in US. Not only will it screw my company, it wont help me in any way. I went to a very good CS school, and have ample high paid job opportunities here at home and legal ways to apply for a job in US.

My bad luck was that I had a new interviewer who was extra cautious, understandably. He was in a doubt and went to speak to the guy in the next counter, and came back and said no. Which is a little screwed up because the guy in the next counter didn't even speak to me!

But there's no scope for an appeal, so the only option I have is to reaply and this time take some document as evidence and hope I have an experienced interviewer.

Yep, exactly.
That's an excellent point. It would appear that the sum total of power ebbs and flows. In terms of power as expressed through its ostensible components (e.g. wealth, political strength, mechanical energy, etc.) this is certainly the case.

However, power is a transferable abstract (like currency). If you frighten a population into paralysis, then you may appear to lose creativity, motivation, economic wealth, etc. However, those losses simply become the "cost" of "buying" different forms of power.
That is an excellent article, but is now 6 years old. The market for ergonomic work chairs doesn't change quickly, but it isn't glacial either.

Take a look (and more importantly, try out) more recent offerings from Humanscale, Herman-Miller, Steelcase, and the like as well as the ones in the article.
I thought Lori Macvittie hits this one right on the head
I used to visit justin.tv a lot in the early days, they used to have more interesting people broadcasting but the quality declined over the last 5 years. A lot of the more premium channels/brands broadcast on other sites.

This is reflected in the traffic, just look at the decline from a peak in late 2009. Looking at this graph, it's no real surprise that they are shutting it down:

Aptible (YC S14) Handles the Hard Parts of HIPAA Compliance
Agreed, at least with the advent of precompilers and task managers like Grunt and Gulp we're starting to see a division from the previous generation of "web designers" where there's some hard skills that you simply do or don't have that can't be faked easily using bad WYSIWYG editors or rudimentary grasp of HTML and CSS.
People were saying this is why JTV was shut down, rampant copyright infringement.
Congrats Sol & team.

One thing that really stood out for me was the endorsements. Having perhaps the most prolific researcher of recent history Adel Moussa (Prof Dr Andro) vouch for you guys, and on the other hand one of the best prep coaches Matt Porter on the same page... That's big.
Chris Riley has been writing some great articles over on DevOps.com. This one on change management will have you looking at change in a whole different light
Very optimistic with the ship date. Early 2015? Do they realize it's August 2014 already?
I don't see the problem with that. Not all niche business models should be assumed to be indefinitely viable.

Hello from Gandi!

Our legal team says:
"You have obviously cut a big part of the article of Gandi's contract. Many registries which operate new gTLD's are entitled to cancel domain names at their own discretion in the light of their national laws (many German registries retain the right to suspend domain names if they do not comply with the laws of the Republic)."

Anyone can write to our legal department directly at legal [at] gandi [dot] net; we're happy to answer any questions.
It definitely helped. But, I've been a redditor for 8 years now anyway - http://www.reddit.com/user/AhmedF/ - so it was just a natural fit.

In terms of generating revenue or people who spread the word ... reddit was honestly not a big deal.

Major traffic sources? We have about 25+ sites that send us 100+ visitors/day. For example, "garcinia cambogia" is one of Dr. Oz's favorite (bs) fat burners. Quite a few sites that rank high in the Googles for that phrase link to us as an unbiased source.

Lastly, every time there is a study getting a lot of buzz, people ask us to look into it. And once we do, it gets shared a ton. Our latest one - http://examine.com/blog/high-protein-diets-linked-to-cancer-... - got us roughly 100,000 visitors over the course of 3-4 days.

Lastly, our brand is pretty strong. Our top two referral keywords are "Examine.com" and "Examine"

It all adds up.

More like "Hey boss, we need to pay someone to make a keyboard icon!" "Hahaha, no. Work it out." and why worry about an icon when you have a perfectly good toaster as a placeholder?
You are misunderstanding my situation. The reason why people aren't interested in clever solutions is because they can't think of any. It may seem cynical but I have seen people out here working even longer than me re-creating something, not exploiting even basic tricks or automations.

Lately, my co-worker spent 15 minutes indenting JS files without realizing that it would 10s to use a code beautifier.
Can you also send me details please?
Thanks, I am going to give it another try. My first thought was to register the company here, but it takes 2 months to do so! But worse comes to worst, I will have to do that and ask the accelerator to move be to a different batch.

I also notice that you don't appear to have any physical isolation between the hot and cold aisles, is that just for the photos?
It's entirely impractical to expect NY to build collision barriers at every spot where pedestrians get near cars within the city. Unless you want to have raised / underground pedestrian crossings everywhere (which have generally not been found to work very well, and are ugly as hell too), the reality is you're going to have traffic and pedestrians intermixed within the city.

"The goal of improving roads is to increase the throughput of traffic" - that is considered an outdated goal by most planners these days. For one thing, if you increase the capacity of roads, you simply encourage more driving, and things end up congested anyway. In many cases urban planners now actively seek to decrease the throughput of traffic on mixed-use streets in urban areas.

Why are people comparing Navdy with not using a cellphone at all. That isn't the point of this device. People use their cellphones while driving, and are going to continue unless the government can physically prevent it all the time. This device isn't trying to prevent all types of distracted driving that cellphones create, but to minimize it. As a whole, the public is going to not only use cellphones to the level they are now, but are going to increase their usage. If the usage is going to increase and people will not stop using their phones while driving, isn't it better if they use Navdy? This is a good idea, but I think it's too pricy to convince people to stop. The tech costs too much in order for most users to decide to get it. Ultimately car manufactures will create their own in-car tech through partnerships with the big tech companies that will do it better for cheaper. Or it will be packaged in with your car and you won't notice the 1.5k charge when you are paying 30k for the car.
This is really sweet. I wonder if I'll actually use it past today - only one way to find out!
Exactly, my country isn't on the visa waiver program. So B1(/B2) is my only option.
> you need to convince them that it's bad in a liberal democracy with independent press and functioning courts

Do you not follow the Snowden case?

You honestly think big media conglomerates constitute a perfectly independent press?

.

I've heard, in a big USA city, radio ads calling for locals to report people torrenting files out of coffee houses. That for ratting out your fellow citizens, for what amounts to nothing more than distributing shared culture, you will receive money in return.

So what if the press is "independent"? What if I just completely disagree with talking points fed to the "independent" press by rich and powerful companies who stand to gain from human suffering.

In addition, can you please explain how courts in western countries are "functioning" properly now that NSA-based parallel construction methods are becoming prevalent? How is that fair? How is the surveillance even legal?

Finally, in the real world, if you had the ability to pick between a speedy, censorship-free GuiFi CJDNS mesh network running anonymously over I2P, and the government sponsored spy-filled funfest alternative, would you say that all GuiFi users must have "something to hide"? Is there NO reason to have anonymity?

Anonymity is unquestionably a benefit for consumers. It is a benefit to protect one's identity. There is _zero_ upside to having all of your data recorded 24/7, indefinitely, by agencies with the power to kill you and to ruin your life. Worse, they can do so for purely political reasons: see Aaron Swartz.
That was certainly not the problem with WoT. It may or may not be the problem with ASOIAF or not I don't know.

The real problem I think is when a writer doesn't know how to get where he wants to go and the story controls him rather than the other way around.
What do you deliver? A set of JS+CSS+HTML files for deployment? A hosted solution on a custom domain or subdomain? Or something else?
In the full paper they say "We use a separately captured background photograph for the chair, while for all other photos, we fill the background using Context-Aware Fill in Photoshop."

So I think the fingers indeed were filled in algorithmically. This is plausible since, as best as I can tell, current Context Aware Fill algorithms are based on magic.

I'm glad that all of the sites you target want your scraper to access them. The goal in many cases where one would use a scraper is to access information not provided in an API or otherwise encased in HTML. Most of their robots.txt are "User-Agent: *\nDisallow: /\n"
You missed the point entirely and then went off on a rant about the "left wing" which is unsupported by any evidence or even coherent argument in your comment.

Implicit in your comment is an assumption that there is no information asymmetry and that power (real power--the social, political, and economic ability to actually assert oneself) is shared relatively equally between the owners of capital and laborers. I stopped being surprised that people actually believe such "claptrap" long ago, but am still amused by it.
I completely disagree, for me, anyway. I was a child that chose to sleep instead of open Santa presents on Christmas. I am most definitely more productive when I can start my day late - enough that when working overnight, my mother noticed a positive difference in my happiness level. When possible, I test myself every few years to see if it has changed: Both ways I can get enough sleep, but timing my sleep to fit the correct time of day for me helps tremendously.

The only thing that might motivate me to wake earlier in this situation is to search for a job that didn't try to suck my brain away - very worthwhile.
This is amazing. Was planning on doing a run tracker, similar to this, via twitter. Thanks!
Can confirm, no manager listens to anything you say after you admit that its working. The most I'll ever admit to is being "just about ready for QC".

Recall that Google's initial and ongoing innovation was moving away from what corporate entities want users to find. I think Google prioritizes what they believe users want to find and subject it to the review of user behavior.

The perceived problem with this is that what they think users wants doesn't always agree with what someone else thinks users want. Like in this article, where many users clearly want to see aggregators but the author believes they don't want to see aggregators.
I got addicted to solving problems. Every time I fixed one, I would get that little dopamine hit that told me I was doing a good job.

Then one day a buddy said, 'Yeah, but in your company there are problems that shouldn't need to be fixed.'

Completely changed my way of thinking and set me on the path to start looking for a new job.
Agreed. Related to this, there's a school of thought which says the ability for us to break laws which don't yet reflect updated social mores is key to preventing society stagnating, to force change in those laws.

Let's suppose 1960s civil rights campaigners had had their protests and civil disobedience clamped down on with the ruthless efficiency of what you could imagine policing becoming in a few decades -- if the firehose-wielding cops had also been able to know with perfect intelligence who was planning to break the law, and had been able to easily crush any nascent rebellion against the laws of the time, which we now recognise to be wrong. How easily would we have seen change under those circumstances?
Translating their app would allow Uber to encroach on such communities. That is likely already in progress.

If a portfolio doesn't matter that much, how would you recommend a young programmer, without many connections, get a new job?
Any way I can see a preview without getting a heroku account?

Regardless of what I think about MongoDB the database, this man seems like a good leader based on his honesty. Showing this much vulnerability in public isn't something CEOs usually do without a public scandal.

I'm curious if this guy is a professional manager or grew into this role as a founder. Because this sort of communication doesn't strike me as the sort of thing that would come out of the keyboard of an MBA or career manager.

I find this unpersuasive. The typical person is justified in believing that the government has no interest in imprisoning or executing them. They are entirely justified in having a greater fear of private parties.
