The article breezes over how they got their foot in the door, but I would imagine it happened gradually (bigger and bigger customers) and then...

"Their big break came when they approached Rotodyne..."

Have to be careful not to compare how they do business now, with how they did business when they were operating from a "garage". I would assume that they (the co-founders) were essentially their own world-class sales team in the beginning and their reputation now replaces that function entirely.

> forced to purchase unwanted health insurance

Very few are willing to live with the consequences of this which ought to be letting the person who didn't get health insurance die because they chose to not afford care.

If you really believe you shouldn't force people to protect themselves, you should believe you shouldn't "force" them to recover when they're sick.

Or, if you do believe they shouldn't be left to die, and that you shouldn't force them to purchase individual health insurance, a logical reconciliation of those two positions is universal health care.

> Why is it bad to impose similar burdens on the Yup'ik?

I would agree with you here.

Reading between the lines suggests the dwindling catches are causing them to adopt more aggressive fishing measures, a vicious cycle of bad consequences. Dialing back their new fishing to earlier methods isn't imposing a burden as much as thwarting total collapse from their own changes.

In practice, getting the other party to name their number first is very difficult to achieve for a junior developer talking to an experienced HR/recruiter, so this isn't great advice.
Kind of a serious difference... This is using Excel in Python. Python is not running inside Excel with this.
It will be worth more than the competing products (all else being equal), but it won't be worth twice just because it lasts twice as long.

Absolutely agree. You rightfully point out broad simplifications that I made, though I think we agree that there's still an incentive for companies to build better products. Even if the price of the new bulb lower than 2 USD, but above 1 USD, the produces has an incentive to sell it - lower sales costs (you need to do it once), lower warehousing costs, etc. On the other hand the new technology can be more expensive than the old and offset these benefits.
In LO you cannot define format strings that automagically scale the number, e.g. "d = "0"mm"%%% to use meters for further calculations yet display in mm.

You should know what is fair, and you can get some good feedback likely if you provide your geographic area.

In general, when negotiating salary make an employer put a price tag on you first, then if it is fair, you can go for it or negotiate a little more, ask for extra time off etc. If it is a low offer, they may be testing you to see if you know the market, don't be afraid to come back at a fair market value for new grad in your area.

And don't accept an offer below market with some unwritten promise to increase your pay if you do XYZ. That isn't fair to you and the employer is trying to take advantage of you. If you get a fair offer and you ask for say $2k more, and they say well if you execute over the first 90 days with X Y Z and those are tangible real goals, not subjective, then that is reasonable. Just make sure it is in writing in the offer letter.

Sure, but be aware that "has similar problem" is not the same as "is willing to pay for solution."

Of course, why would you need permission for this?
True, but you can trigger Python code from Excel using this so it seems reasonable enough.

This (that lifespan and efficiency are inevitably a tradeoff in incandescent bulbs) is my understanding as well.

You can get "rough service" or "extended life" incandescent bulbs that claim 5,000 hour lifetimes, but they are very obviously dim and orange compared with the standard bulbs.

You can also get newfangled "high efficiency" incandescent bulbs (a 60W bulb's worth of light for ~40W) that package little halogen lamps inside the traditional bulb shape. (I'm a fan, I think they provide the highest quality light you can get right now.) But residential halogen lamps used to mostly claim 2,000 hour lifespans, and these new high efficiency ones only claim 900.

None of that means the cartel had good intentions, though. Sometimes the right thing happens for the wrong reasons.
>First, do we really want to have different laws for different races?

It's not about having different laws for different races. This is about different nations having different laws.

The political relationship between the United States and the indigenous peoples of the Americas is much different than the relationship between the US and its citizens. It's more akin to asking if we want different laws for people in Canada and America.

I think your second point is similarly misguided. It's not a matter of anyone being different, but whether the US has a more compelling claim to exercise sovereignty in this situation.

There was actually a bit of a social vision behind G+ Hangouts. The idea was that people would start "hanging out" in each other's web spaces, like dorm rooms.

I was skeptical of this but (as a Googler, and at the time, a drinker of the Kool-Aid) I wanted to see it work. Hence, my suggestion that (a) we re-orient G+ Games around high-quality games (such as German-style board games, 2D adventures and collaborative RPGs, etc.) instead of giving preferential treatment to Zyngarbage, and (b) integrate high-quality games (which we didn't have, but third-party developers will build them if you create the platform) with Hangouts. I knew people wouldn't "Hangout" just to watch Youtube videos (really, who wants to hear others' reactions to YT videos? the comments are horrific enough without having to hear associated voices) but I figured that a high-quality game experience around truly social games (not anti-social Zyngarbage that merely marketed itself through social networks, like Farmville back when Zynga was more obviously Facebook's Tapeworm) gave Hangouts a chance of looking more like that original vision. A high-quality and social German-style board game experience is one thing that would get a critical core of tech-savvy people using Hangouts for multiple hours per day.

Then... I was erroneously tagged as a union activist and my psychotic manager at the time had a field day with the "make 'im quit" game, but no need to say more on that. The Internet has had more than two lunches on that one.

It's interesting to see Google making this ambitious of a venture into games and the concept of a game. Augmented reality is an interesting field and it's admirable that they're trying this space out. Say what you will about Google (I've said plenty) but their ambition and commitment to R&D is a very good thing.

NetworkManager still mucks around in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and is probably a lot more complicated than it needs to be. I'd like to think that networkd is a better approach with a smaller attack surface but also right now networkd doesn't have the maturity or usage of NetworkManager or crappy network scripts so it would be unwise to suggest that networkd is more secure because of that. Especially when you lump in NetworkManager as another alternative that's done better, if anything I'd rather have no NetworkManager or networkd than have to use NetworkManager on something other than a laptop as random bugs in NetworkManager have personally bit me before.

That being said the design of networkd looks very nice indeed and against my better judgement I'm even running it in something that you could almost consider production.
I really wouldn't suggest this. For some -- especially a recent grad -- the cost of living may be very low. So by following this formula you're very likely to undervalue yourself.

Not to mention that your first salary impacts all your future salaries (it acts as a baseline), when your cost of living is likely to be much higher.
The point the author made that resonated with me is """Prac­ti­cal Ty­pog­ra­phy has also been a proof of my friend Richard Nash’s the­ory that au­thors shouldn’t think of a book as the end of a re­la­tion­ship with the reader, but as the be­gin­ning. The book be­comes an in­tro­duc­tion to a range of pos­si­bil­i­ties."""

I have written many books, a few very profitable, but many not. While I really enjoy the writing process (love it!) the huge win has been the relationships formed with my readers.
The concept of "relationship with the listener" is older than podcasts, and stem from the radio days. It's absolutely a real thing. Early media studies found people liked the companionship of a radio announcer, and would sometimes have it on just to listen and feel like someone is there with them. This is exaggerated even more on podcasts where you get to control when and where you listen, making it even more personal, and in some cases, shows record live and you can dialog with the podcasters during. If getting an on-air reply to something isn't a relationship, I don't know what is.

You're probably thinking of relationship in the term of something like a parent or significant other. Of course you don't have that. The podcasters I listen to wouldn't know who I am from Adam, despite a few Twitter replies from them. But again, that's not what the term means, and it's a much older industry term.

It's a lot of networking. A lot of IDs are people that have spun away from large companies (like Nottingham from GM), or have worked in an ID shop and then gone out on their own.

Like any other consulting, you develop a reputation working on smaller projects and then you start getting approached by larger firms. And if you have a contact on the inside it's also easy to design something on your own and then get a chance to present it to the megacorp.

I've known a fair number of people in the toy design business and it works pretty much the same way. It's just industrial design with a different audience.
I would answer with "I expect my salary to fall in line with the current market rate" for wherever you live. I would put more of the impetus on them, because giving a number to them rarely works in your favor. I would also try to delay money talk until you are certain you want to work there and they want you to work there. As has been suggested if you want to get an idea of the current market rate glassdoor and other sites will help but may be sparse for your market.

The best answer is to try and group your interviews and offers so you have a competitive situation. Talking to several recruiters at once can help with this.

You can almost always say you have an interview scheduled on (some day about 4 days away) that you've committed to, and attend whatever interviews you can. In a competitive situation, you should get market price. If a company wants you on Monday, regardless of what they say about the offer expiring, they will usually still want you on Friday, at least in this market. Also, when you start scheduling interviews, try and make them a few days out, so you can schedule more before then.
> I was asked, panicked and said £25k. He seemed totally okay with it.

That's exactly what they hope will happen: You panic, feel pressured to answer, and give some number that is far below what they were willing to spend. Of course they'd be totally okay with it, if it's below market rate.
If you think Dwarf Fortress is cool, check out Rimworld[1]. It's still in alpha, but it's already a playable game. It's basically a sci-fi Dwarf Fortress (and it has a way better UI).

Cool. The problem with all these big "VBA replacements" (and don't get me wrong, I've done both VBA and VSTO and the latter is more pleasant to work with) is that they never seem to provide replacements for UDFs, which is probably the #1 reason you'd want to use VBA in the first place.
Encryption isn't an impregnable fortress. It is a basic, locked door.

Say you use TextSecure. If someone installs Malware on the phone and keylogs, they can capture your password. With the password and the phone, they can decrypt the messages.

I'm not sure why this is the equivalent of a bank vault to you? It can be defeated by some guy in his basement.

Law enforcement has shown the ability and willingness to use malware as well.

http://www.wired.com/2013/09/freedom-hosting-fbi/

So given that:

1) The app store is still controlled by the corporation.
2) Malware to capture the key is all that is required.
3) Law enforcement is capable of producing malware competently and legally forcing it onto machines.
4) The corporation can be legally compelled to install said malware via an automatic update [thereby disabling and/or capturing the key]. If that isn't an option, there are various other methods [such as taking the person into custody, installing the malware manually, then releasing them].

The only difference is the number of steps involved.
Agree, many workers having to spend a large portion of their time politicking is highly inefficient. Someone has to put their head down and do the actual work at some point.

But at the same time I think understanding politics and power, and having a little political skill, is important for everyone because it's how you convince others to help you get things done. People who see office politics as an inscrutable evil just get frustrated when they can't convince anyone to listen to their opinions. And they're easier to exploit and manipulate.

Knowing how the political game works is the best way to protect yourself from those who would play it against you. And if you're too busy doing actual work to play the game, then you need a good PM who you really trust to play it on your behalf.
Actually this is one of the only times the candidate could credibly say, "Gee, I don't know, I've never had a full-time job and am still calibrating my expectations, maybe you can help me here?" After the first job, subsequent employers will usually try to calibrate themselves to your previous one.

Using all of the same logic from the article, why is there no Poop Tracker? In fact, not only is it the most diverse, easiest to understand health indicator from the human body, but it is the same for all humans. It is The diagnostic report on literally everything you do.

The period tracker is a no brainer, but a poop tracker might actually make your life better. I think, though, that most people want a flashy looking chart and a conversational set piece. Health Care is treated more like an insurance policy and lesss like an habitual practice.

If global warming is killing your god, it may be time to find a new god. After reading the description of Yup’ik religion in the article, all I can say is that their perception of what is necessary to do is not the only possible response to the situation that faces Yup’ik people in that place. The environment has been changing throughout the existence of human beings (we know from archaeology that humankind has lived through ice ages and some major changes in sea level already), so human beings will have to go on being adaptable to face the changes that are inevitable in the environment, and think with sound judgment about how to keep some kinds of changes from happening, if that results in the best trade-offs for humankind. Religion can not be exempted from that general process of human beings reality-checking their own thinking to see if their adaptations to their environment (and adaptations OF their environment) are successful or not.
