It is something someone could teach YOU in a 30 minute lesson. That's because you're taking for granted a lot of "obvious" things which aren't actually that obvious.
They're not metaphors - the ATPase actually does spin round to make ATP:

That's because startups aren't interested in paying market rate. They're interested in paying below-market rate plus the lottery ticket known as "equity." AngelList companies are especially amusing in that regard (I saw compensation packages as low as $60,000 + 1%-5% "equity" at one point in the last year). They're okay for a single person or the rare "family person" with no debts from college or misfortunes in life. They're otherwise not good choices for employment. Of the companies in your list, I seriously doubt more than 2-3 of them would ever hire near the top of the listed salary ranges.

Fortunately they aren't the only choices. I work at a pretty big and well known company (not Google, Facebook, or the like). My salary is about what you list, and I'd hazard a guess that I could get something comparable by hinting at the army of recruiters around here I'd be interested in changing jobs, while avoiding startups.

The reality is that for the value even average software developers bring to the companies they work for, the average salary for the average developer in the SF Bay area ought to be at least $150,000/year. Top notch engineers and computer scientists working on cutting- or bleeding-edge systems and research ought to be north of $200,000 on average.
Also note that, if you're commuting to the east part of the city (Soma, Fidi, etc.), it's worth researching commute times. To get to Powell station, the commutes are probably fairly similar from Sunset/Richmond and from Oakland/Berkeley.

Go has a different perspective on the cost of clutter and complexity - how much it costs in terms of compile time when you maintain a million line code base over two decades. Going from a 45 minute compile to a 10 second compile adds up over a couple decades.

But it is still the same philosophy - Go's design is being driven by real problems that people ran into.
I'm paying $1800 for a ~250 sq. ft. microstudio in Soma. It's very much like having my bed in a tiny kitchen, but it's by far the cheapest place within a 15 minute walk of work (FiDi) by myself with somewhat reasonable facilities.

I started with LESS (Bootstrap) and couldn't make the column gutters collapse. I did some research, found that I could do that in Zurb Foundation so I started using foundation. It was that simple difference that caused me to go with SASS over LESS. I actually wasn't doing anything custom in either framework at first, but once I wanted to start customizing the framework I started learning SASS and really like it. I've also been learning ruby/rails and it's nice that its written in the same language. I've now dropped the idea of a huge framework and have been learning compass and susy with sass and I really like that solution as opposed to an entire framework. I think both LESS and SASS are great and valid solutions to the problem. At this point it's just preference.

There are few issues with this approach. First, many security regulations require deterministic capture of audit-oriented log events (e.g. login failure/success, invalid access attempts, etc). Typically, you are required to provide a local spool to handle circumstances where a remote logging service is unavailable/overloaded. Simply logging to stdout is insufficient and hoping it gets picked by a process over HTTP is woefully inadequate in these circumstances. Second, as mentioned previously, HTTP headers will be larger than most logging events. Therefore, this approach likely doubles/triples (admittedly back of the napkin estimates) the data being transferred. rsyslog and its ilk learned this lesson long ago -- using a lightweight TCP protocol to minimize transfer overhead. Personally, I favor a locally spooling rsyslog instance in each container configured to push to a central logging service.

Besides the issues of implementation, log data needs to be analyzed. Standardizing on a logging library and associated configuration provides important consistency to use a common set of log analytics in alerting systems not to mention keeping system admins performing forensics operations sane. Finally, in addition to logging, there is service instrumentation which requires consistency to yield useful visualization and alerting for operations teams.

While Docker may allow permit a vast polyglot infrastructure, carefully choosing stacks deployed will have a tremendous impact on operational robustness. The greater the consistency across containers reduces the effort required to deploy and operate new services.

Urgh, that is a url encoding error on our site. I have raised a bug (https://github.com/google/WebFundamentals/issues/664).

With regards to the study, that data was ascertained by working with direct user studies and taking feedback from them, I think we can certainly make this a lot clearer in the those set of documents.

re:sparse. Yes it is as we are still building this section out and fleshing out the guidance more, but we have worked with the team that did produce the study (It also turns out I am pretty good at making the bad examples of the sites). I do have one follow up question: Would you like to see code that espouses the principles that we are saying are good.

re: relying on your own data. I am curious, what do you look for?
Yeah, I'm not sure about that. According to the xdg-mime(1) man page:

"The query option is for use inside a desktop session only."

Why wouldn't it work from a console session? Or even a non-login session (e.g. cron job)? I'm not sure I want to trust a command-line program that only works as part of a desktop session. It sounds like the sort of fragile doodad that makes weird assumptions about its environment, which might one day no longer be true even in that environment, to me.

Can anyone shed any further light on that crazy usage restriction?
Geez. Hard to believe that SFO experience trumps making $70K/yr in a middle-tier city, living in your own house and paying less for its mortgage.
> Indeed, some of his fellow travelers have already committed some egregious mistakes. Last year, Greenwald found himself unable to open the encryption on a large trove of secrets from GCHQ—the British counterpart of the NSA—that Snowden had passed to him. So he sent his longtime partner, David Miranda, from their home in Rio to Berlin to get another set from Poitras. But in making the arrangements, The Guardian booked a transfer through London. Tipped off, probably as a result of GCHQ surveillance, British authorities detained Miranda as soon as he arrived and questioned him for nine hours. In addition, an external hard drive containing 60 gigabits of data—about 58,000 pages of documents—was seized. Although the documents had been encrypted using a sophisticated program known as True Crypt, the British authorities discovered a paper of Miranda’s with the password for one of the files, and they were able to decrypt about 75 pages. (Greenwald has still not gained access to the complete GCHQ documents.)

FYI, Glenn Greenwald is denying that any of the claims in this paragraph are true, and says that Wired never even contacted him or Miranda about the article:

The thing to note is that the "one bedroom" statistic is a little misleading, at least for myself and my peers in technology. They definitely cost $3000-$3500, but I don't know anyone who lives in one by themselves. Last year I shared a huge (~950 sq. ft.) $3200 one bedroom Soma apartment with a colleague.

For comparison, I now live by myself in an $1800 ~250 sq. ft. Soma microstudio.
All that stuff is subjective. Seems fine to me, wouldn't really matter unless it was turning away users.

The NextStep was way ahead on the curve for it's time (which is one of the reasons it failed).

I read an awesome piece a while back (and for the life of me I can't remember where) that said if you want to design for the future, estimate what computing power will be available in 10-15 years then buy that for your developers.

In that project I think they spent 186,000 per machine per user on average but they where designing software light years ahead of its time.

Your criticism of Haskell here just doesn't have the ring of truth to me. Haskell has lots of good, modern frameworks and libraries for doing web-related things, which aren't difficult to use or any more corner-case-y than their corollaries in other languages.

I get the vibe that there is some underlying point you're attempting to make and that the Haskell-specific stuff is secondary. Maybe your point is that using a technology stack with unproven maturity in a given domain (in this case web application development) is riskier and likely more time-consuming than using the more common stacks for that domain. If so, then I agree. (But I'm also very appreciative of the early-movers who put in the time and effort to make immature ecosystems around nice technologies more mature; somebody has to do it!)
It's probably loading slowly because being linked on HN is giving the server too much traffic. It's self hosted anyway, so that doesn't really matter.
Neither is entry into tech. Only entry into the extremely narrow "Sand Hill Road" style VC funded tech is entrepreneurial and social. There is a rigid heirarchical track for software much like law: stanford -> google, or MIT -> apple, or rutgers -> morgan stanley. Most of technology fits a track like this, in fact.

I didn't dodge your question, I pointed out why the answer was irrelevant. There are two ways to debunk a theory: directly (by showing a premise is false) and by contradiction (showing it implies a false conclusion). I'm doing the latter.

As for how women feel about being asked out, in my experience the primary determinant is how attractive she finds the asker. To relate a real life experience, if a woman is surrounded by firefighters and one of them asks her out, she probably won't mind. Not that the anecdotes really matter (see the point above about argument by contradiction).
In part, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you're doing a UX review or feature demonstration, then screenshots might be ok.

In most other situations, screenshots are hugely distracting. They force your audience to focus all their attention on details of your slide, rather than the things taht you're saying.

Reminds me of an idea I had for lighter than air packing material. It was going to be something like over-sized bubble wrap filled with helium, or balloons you'd insert into the spaces and inflate with a helium canister. Seems a great idea at first, but then you do the maths, and think about the materials. Unfortunately the weight savings are likely to be so minimal they're unlikely to save on postage costs, and even if they did reduce postage they're likely to be outweighed by the cost of materials. Plus you later find out that lots of other people have had the same idea and posted on the internet about it.

I have quite a bit of experience with bid management platforms/DSPs/etc. at a pretty deep level, and I have a few questions:

1. Are you still just focusing on smaller, less-savvy advertisers with less advanced needs, or are you targeting folks like me who know the strengths and weakness of the various platforms out there, limitations, etc.?

2. Assuming you are targeting folks like me (which I have a hard time believing given insanely low pricing...), how would you say you differentiate from the leading platforms in the space? For the most part I've found there are few truly differentiating features and a lot of it comes down to usability, integrations, etc. Bid algorithms are so fickle depending on the variables involved that I would never recommend picking a platform based on those alone.

3. How do you address the challenge of cross-channel attribution analysis and optimization? If you are touching all channels, and have the data from each channel, I would presume some level of deduplication is occuring in the conversion counts and such that you present, but if you are just using a basic last touch model for this, that's...a fairly outdated way of looking at things.

4. How do you handle multiple conversion goals, such as for SaaS companies with a trial signup, subscription, etc.? Looks like your conversions column in the dashboard is a single value (much like AdWords unfortunately). Along with this, how do you handle logic for things like LTV that could enable an advertiser to bid much more aggressively?

5. How well do you integrate with other platforms? For example, a search agency might want to use one thing, but might have to nest their tracking links in a DFA link that a display agency sends them.

Thanks!

I think that's a disingenuous argument. Mozilla has been happy to support extremely marginal standards in the past - speech, the whole microformats mess, webfonts. Dart had (and has) more momentum behind it, more developers wanting to use it, than those.

By all means, bring on Python, R, or LLVM IR. I'd support any and all of those (though including one doesn't have to mean excluding Dart). Any of those would be a huge improvement over Javascript. But Mozilla seems to see ensuring as much code as possible gets written in that abominable language as part of its mission.

The huge variable being ignored here: the sustained high price of oil along with technological breakthroughs has made extraction of oil shale economical. The U.S. has the largest reserves of oil shale in the world, over twice the total recoverable oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. My sister is a petroleum geologist: a large proportion of oil production has moved back domestically over the last 5 years.

Most recent geopolitical shifts can be traced back to the Middle East no longer being strategically important to U.S. interests any more. In 2007 we were worried that rising oil prices would trigger a financial crisis that would severely hurt American interests; controlling mid-east oil was critically important. By 2010 the financial crisis had happened, it was clear that gas prices were not coming down, and oil production was moving back domestically. There was no longer any reason for us to be in Iraq, so Obama got us out, and as far as the U.S. is concerned the Middle East can collapse into the Dark Ages and we won't care, as long as they leave Israel alone. So far ISIS has been more anti-Palestine than anti-Israel.

I have been thinking of making an app to help me do regular journaling. The idea is that it iss quick and easy enough to do in one minute per day and that it would help me remember notable events in my life. This fills that niche really well!

One thing I wanted in my app was a timeline view so that I could see an overview of the most notable events in my life, and drill into certain periods for more detail. I think you could do that with this app.

Lastly, provide a way to export data. I want to remember these things forever, even if you decide not to continue supporting the app.

Networking at a startup event is pretty hit and miss. Conference networking is that way in general, but there's even less coherence when the only thing bringing together the attendees is an interest in running a business.

If you ask me, the primary reason to attend startup school is that you'll see a lot of "famous" people who are just names to you, and you'll begin to realize that they're human. That's a worthwhile experience if you've never done it before, but I wouldn't go into the event with grander expectations.
