This isnt a boss problem though, right? It's a problem of interaction between two people, where neither is expressing clearly what their real opinion is. There's a bit more responsibility on the person acting as boss to resolve it, as presumably he has a bit more experience with that kind of situation, but it's a two-way street.

As a manager, it is normal to be more directive with someone who is underperforming due to (perceived) lack of knowledge. You do need to be clear about you doing so though, and be clear about the path away from it.

I had a manager a long time ago who did it in a nice way. Our office was underperforming compared to the other offices he was managing, so he explained to everyone in an all hands meeting that he would be spending more time on control activities with the goal of getting back to not doing so once we were hitting delivery targets once more. No-one took offense to that, it was more "Ok, we are not performing at the level we need to be, and that means we will spend more time on control activities for a while, but to get out of that and back to our normal more laid back approach we need to do X, Y, Z."

The harmful situation is when you start spending more time on control activities without expressing why you are doing it and without explaining what the path out is. The responsibility for that is for sure on the boss, but also on the employee. If you are not asking "Ok, I have noticed this, why is that?" as an employee as well, then you are contributing to the situation and the downward spiral.

I am not an expert but I have a niche blog for 3 years:

a) Subject: It is much easier/faster/more rewarding if you blog about something you are an expert (or something that you are really interested in learning) and ADD VALUE to the community. If you want to blog for money, the same principles apply, but as somebody wrote here, you need to look for the sweet spot and target the largest audience/market possible.

b) Build an audience: Use your expertise and specially be CONSISTENT. You don't need to blog everyday but make it predictable (once a week, once a month, etc) if you want people to come back. Good content is better than SEO, but you only pick the fruits 1-2 years later as your work compounds.

Almost went into this exact field with KLA. I'm happy where I am now working on software, but I do miss semiconductor physics from time to time, though I'm sure my head would explode if I ever went back to it :)
...keep in mind that a USB device can be both, or more...
The semiconductor industry is that - an industry with numerous companies providing the materials, equipment, operations etc needed for Intel, TSMC, Samsung to build and run their fabs.

In order for this to work, there is a need for coordination. The manufacturers of steppers for example must be able to deliver a stepper that can draw features with the needed resolution at a given time. Since the development takes time, they and everybody else needs to communicate and decide how fast Moores law progress.

Moores law thus represents what all parties agree to are what can be achieved and can meet the end user requirements over time. The industry organisation responsible for this is ITRS - The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors:

http://www.itrs.net/

If one wants to see the predictions for Moores law, ITRS have documents available that are well worth studying. When I worked on ASIC design for mobile handsets we looked at these documents for product roadmaps since we could predict the power consumption, gate density etc for future process nodes.

Intel can to a higher degree than many others move forward at their on pacing. But they don't make their own fab from scratch nor produce their materials all by themselves. This means that even if Intel is able to develop a process in the lab that provides smaller feature size, efficiency and whatnot than what is agreed upon. But they can't move that much faster than the rest of the industry if they want to manufacture chips in commercial quantities.
What about the complicated menu structure of a GoPro Hero3+? Surely there's massive scope for improvement there?

Bosses do, but the article does not necessarily provide any real solutions. The only clear thing to take away is "be aware that you may be causing a vicious cycle, and try to look out for that/get out of it" - which is a level of self-awareness that any semi-decent manager should have and keep in mind.

Management is a fundamentally messy and error-prone process, and dealing with differences in abilities is always hard and complicated :-/
The other thing about running organisations seems to be the "Anna Karenina principle" - all organisations that function really well are similar, but almost each organisation that fails fails in a different way.
Some Chilean startup is trying to do something akin to that, embedding a big lock in the frame, so stealing the bike would render it useless (tho, of course, it's an urban-only bike).

The actual article describes some of the reasons why. The comments reflect that yes, the article does describe the actions. I suggest that it is not "a dark side" of the HN community - rather a frank discussion about life, the good and the bad.
I've had two bikes stolen, both correctly registered in every relevant registry and one with microdots. Not a word.

The economics are extremely simple: There is a significant market for "don't ask, don't tell [if they're stolen]" bicycles. The same probably exists for cars which is why it took immobilizers (not frame/engine serial numbers) to curb theft.

A further complication makes a bicycle immobilizer impractical: It is trivial and not even very conspicuous to carry a bicycle quite far, or stick it in a car. That allows you to remove the bicycle to a private location where you can remove or destroy the immobilizer - if you could do the same with a car, I'm sure immobilizers would be less effective.
That's nothing...

Yup. Much of the bikes that get stolen around here (Prague, central Europe) are re-sold considerably cheaper at shady shops within the same city. Of course, the statistic comes from bikes which have been recovered; this may significantly skew it.

I went to a camp for 4 weeks - no internet, tv, phone, books or newspapers. It was surprising how quickly I (and others) adjusted, and did not miss any of those. It was liberating to do physical work, and sit down and talk to people face to face.

I guess we need all this noise because

a)most of us don't do anything meaningful with our time and

b)most people can't be alone with their thoughts/sit still for 5 mins. They need a "fix" (internet, tv etc) and

c)true/deep friendships and relationships are less common, compared to 30-40 years ago (how many people even know the names of their neighbors, or recognize them?)

Parallel Universe Is Looking for a Developer Evangelist in the Bay Area
Parallel Universe is building next generation server-side open source infrastructure software, that lets developers write simple code that is extremely performant and scalable. We believe while hardware architecture changed drastically almost a decade ago, software hasn't caught up. Current software clashes with hardware, and requires more effort to be expended on scaling rather than on business logic. The problem is most severe in server-side software that ingests real-time data, and needs to respond to a very large number of concurrent requests at low latencies. It facilitates software that is harmonious with modern hardware -- with multi-core and multi-cache, with the storage hierarchy and the IO-to-processing ratio -- rather than software that fights the hardware at every turn. The result is applications that require far less hardware, while at the same time provide much greater performance and headroom for growth. As a developer evangelist, your job would be to help drive adoption of the Parallel Universe stack. The job is a mix of marketing, coding, sales, and geeking out. On the job you will:
* Write demos and benchmarks, and blog about them

* Write introductory blog posts and tutorials

* Speak at (and organize) developer events and hosted tech-talks

* Study the problems facing potential users, and help direct our software to best address those problems

* Provide support and guidance on technical forums and social media

* Provide on-site support and guidance for customers

* Build and cultivate relationships with US companies

Requirements:

* Experience writing software for the JVM, especially in Java (knowing Clojure is a plus)

* Strong familiarity with modern server-side architectures

* Participation in developer communities

* Strong technical writing skills

* Public speaking experience

* Strong social skills and an outgoing personality

* Residence in the San Francisco Bay Area

You will work from home, but travel in the Bay Area (and occasionally in the rest of the US) to visit companies and participate in events. We offer a competitive salary (with benefits) and equity.

To apply, email jobs@paralleluniverse.co
Handling UI with Async File Uploads
Exactly, (...)

Seriously? As the CEO of the company and the person ultimately responsible for this project, it is troubling that you endorse these simplistic and erroneous views of plant biosafety. Fitness is notoriously ecosystem-dependent and hard to predict, which is why microcosm and field experiments-based risk assessments exist in the first place --it unfortunately can't just be eyeballed from a simple metabolic account like that. And either way there is the additional risk of transgene flow, which is even more long-term and less understood --especially for such relatively distant horizontal transfers.

You might have (unaccountably) skirted APHIS regulation, but that doesn't mean you don't have an ethical obligation to (1) thoroughly assess the biosafety of these plants; and (2) be frank in communicating these risks (and their uncertainty) to the public, even if they do not make as clean of a narrative as one would like.
Sometimes there is a huge financial incentive to avoid making something unprofitably to steal. For example it has long been technically possible to render stolen phones unusable but this has never been done because there is very little financial incentive to do so, in fact there is financial incentive not to do so because it would effect negatively effect sales of new phones if no phone got stolen.

It would not surprise me at all if something similar was at play here with bicycles. If every bicycle had to be micro-doted (or chipped etc) and registered and bicycles were subject to spot checks, bicycle theft would fall hugely, but where is the incentive?
So how do we deter people from stealing other people's stuff without jail time or financial penalty? Where is the dollar limit? You have one else you would not bandy about numbers. Three hundred might not be much to some of us but for others it might be that weeks pay. Should the penalty be proportional to the effect it has on the victim? Steal from the poor and suffer more?

Crime occurs when penalties make it more profitable to commit the crime than not. The cost to society is paying to prosecute, reform, or lockup, people who do not adhere to the standards of the society they live in.

How about community service, at minimum wage until the work equals the value of what was stolen even if even the items were recovered? It will cost society money to manage it but it keeps the person off the street for part of the day and might teach them something useful, like being polite in a polite society
I've bought a couple of logos as well and have been very happy with the result every time. After the first iteration I would give feedback and they would change it accordingly. I don't care if they based it on a template as long as they deliver something usable (it's $5!). It's either that or use one of the lousy logo generators out there. Even if all they do is manipulating a template it's still better than what I will ever be able to do myself.
The medallion system is a corrupt one a system like Londons "the knowledge" plus some basic BG checks is a fairer way.
Seems like some physical attributes of bicycles make them difficult to apply similar protections. I'd like to see a lock that has an acoustic alarm (similar to those panic keychains that emit a very loud high-pitched sound when activated) combined with a dye-pack component that emits a plume of bank-grade dye when compromised. Add those to a best-in-class lock design and I think you'd have a decent deterrent.
Hacking the Wireless World with Software-Defined Radio – 2.0 [pdf]
I don't live in America. When I did, I felt more similar to how you do now. Today I live somewhere with harsh penalties for crimes, and the effects are very visible. You can leave your smartphone on a table while you go buy food and no one will take it. People lock up pretty decent bikes with simple cable locks. Peace of mind is worth something; protecting people who steal is not helping anyone.

I thought this would be obvious, but I am not arguing for 16 year sentences for stealing food. Food theft is one thing for which the penalty is a real conundrum (maybe the guy was really hungry).

That's sort of how academic papers work. Related work goes into the unsurprisingly named "related work" section, which will almost always be the second to last.

So people scanning papers will often use something like the following path:

(a) abstract
(b) end of 1st section, "contribution of this paper"
(c) related work ("do I already know some of this")

-> if still looks interesting, read entire paper.

All these crime is down articles make me think there is something more fundamental at play. That whilst technology has helped, that perhaps the real answer is economic.

Crime was a way of getting something that you wanted with little effort but high risk. However with consumerism we can have what we want with medium effort and low risk. There is a lower barrier to getting what you want with anything of material worth.
