I recently interviewed at a startup that also happened to have a job posting on AngelList at the time, and the salary/equity offer they gave me was actually below the range proposed on the AngelList posting (I hadn't applied through that posting). When I brought this up their HR contact attempted to explain that the posting was meant to be for a Senior Engineer, which I'm not...presumably hoping I hadn't noticed that they had a separate posting up with an even higher salary range titled "Senior Engineer". I declined their offer, but the negotiation was a very valuable learning experience (as in, I did everything wrong starting by being the first one to give a number, and learned not to do that!)

Not the author, but taking a stab at your question:
I think it means that regardless of how logically unassailable you believe your position to be in an argument, that position is heavily influenced by your emotions (whether you realize it or not).

This is I think a very good piece of advice to consider carefully. It is common with engineers I've worked with to see people cringe when emotions are brought up. Surely, the ideal state for an engineer is to be devoid of strong emotion while assessing information and writing code? I'm sure we'd all like to believe in the consistency of our own performance and our ability to remain rational despite varying circumstances.

The truth is that without the powerful emotional signals in your brain, you would be mentally crippled in practically all decision making tasks. There's a good deal of science on this. A single paper can be found here:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15134841

If you can key in to the emotional state of team members, you may be able to navigate arguments by understanding/anticipating their angles and communicating in a way that is more likely to be heard/well-received.
Sounds very exciting. MetalHydrides have been a "promising" material for hydrogen storage for decades now but haven't really proven to be a practical material. This entirely new direction of research is very promising.

From the original paper on arxiv ( http://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.7219v1.pdf ), sounds like that desorption (release) of hydrogen gas from the material requires extreme low pressures to be created. I'd be curious to learn the energy equation there... that is, how much energy needed to be consumed to recover the gaseous hydrogen back from the material (say, as percentage of energy stored in H2).

Simple answers, all startups are born not equal. When you take a job at one (assuming you're talented and can work at a Google) you are looking at the particular poker hand that startup has been dealt. Some are worth 1.5%/130K per year, some are not.

If you can't read poker hands like that, you are pretty screwed no matter what.

Paid support, tools, there're plenty of companies which follow this business model. Extjs, Vaadin, Typesafe, etc.

I understand that they want to make a money, however, using their license is unacceptable risk, especially taking into account there're comparable alternatives. I'd rather use GWT/TypeScript/Scala.js, than proprietary framework which I won't be able to work with if they changed license to something unacceptable (for example, charge per server or whatever).

These kinds of tricks actually are being done: by the compiler (as long as you give it enough information and don't try to outsmart it) - they're exactly what gets put into optimization passes. Trying to do these optimizations by hand generally turns into a time sink that results in buggy, unmaintainable code, which is, pretty much by definition, too low level to take advantage of current or future compiler optimizations.

If there was a real threat of ending up dead perhaps you shouldn’t have intervened in the first place. Once you called the police you should step aside and wait for them to arrive and do their job. They’re trained for that shit, you’re not. And by the way, 3 minutes response time sounds like an awful short. You know there are other emergencies happening at any single moment.
> Once a rogue client is detected on the wired network, the network administrator is able to contain both the rogue AP and the rogue clients. This can be achieved because 802.11 de-authentication packets are sent to clients that are associated to rogue APs so that the threat that such a hole creates is mitigated.

Looks like the Cisco AP sends these deauthentication packets over wireless, it doesn't cut off the rogue AP from the network by filtering it or disabling a switch port. The rogue AP is certainly bridged to your network, but is the association between the clients and the rogue AP part of your network?

You're right, the tunnels can't exist, for the sake of Israel's security. You're also right when you say that Sisi (a tyrant) hates Hamas and he worked to close the tunnels.

What you fail to mention is that Egypt eliminated over 1,300 illegal tunnels along their border without killing a single civilian. Israel on the other hand, murdered over 1,500 civilians in the process of dismantling the illegal tunnels on their border. This was no accident, it was calculated murder on the part of the Israeli government.

I read a lot of salary-related articles and discussions(due to my startup) and I've seen many examples like yours. This is nothing other than a click-bait scam. It is very unfortunate. You think upfront-listed salaries are a way of eliminate unmet expectations during the interview process. And all you get is companies listing high salaries to attract the top talent and then not honoring the promise.
> That said more media coverage around this could paint Trader Joe's as a bully and be more damaging to their brand than an unauthorized seller.

It's certainly damaged their brand in my eyes, and it's not painting them as bullies: they're being bullies.

This is a person who's buying a product fairly, taking it to a place where that product doesn't exist, adding a minor markup, and selling it. There's absolutely nothing grey about this practice, it's 100% honest and legal. For Trader Joe's to sue him for doing something that's completely within his rights is beyond loathsome. He's a customer who's buying a huge amount of their products at retail price, they should be sending him thank you letters.

I think I might actually stop shopping at Trader Joes over this, as much as it pains me. It's just utterly repugnant behavior on their part.
California (and Hawaii) are facing a Federal court decision that has a good chance of ending its per county "may issue" concealed carry regime. In the meantime, it won't hurt to buy weapons and become familiar with them. They'll be available at home, and unless California gun laws are like New Jersey's and a few other states, there's probably some way to legally carry one in your car with some ammo, even if it's not easily or quickly accessible and functional. It still might do you good, although for that use case a rifle is likely to better.

> […] anything that delays that SRV lookup will delay page resolution.

You keep implying that such things will happen. They won’t. There is no reason for an SRV record lookup to delay page resolution any more than an A (or AAAA) record lookup.

> If we specced that, no-one would do it.

Are you seriously saying that even if the HTTP/2 standard came out and it said “A client MUST lookup an SRV record and use it if one exists, and not use any A or AAAA records before the non-existence of an SRV record can be confirmed.”, that the browser vendors would simply ignore this? If that’s the case, why do we even have a standards process? Why do we even pretend to write RFCs if we can just assume that every implementer will ignore the standard and do whatever they feel like?

No, a thing which would be a net win for the Internet in general should go in the standard. RFC writers should not bow to fears of what Google, IBM, or General Motors might or might not do. Or, at least, wait until they make the threat of non-compliance openly.
If I'm not mistaken, this site has pivoted remarkably since I first visited it. Didn't it used to be a tool for determining appropriate market prices for used items?
FTA: Hallatt says he still has a lot of respect for Trader Joe’s, and “what they’re trying to do with food.” He still says he’s running the store out of love for the label, and, he says, finding Coulombe’s quote is one of the things that made him persevere through the lawsuit.

Dude, you're doing it for the money. And if a lawyer's quote got you to keep going in a lawsuit, you're definitely doing it for the money.

Sorry, this entire article is parroting a very well-constructed (but seemingly BS) storyline. "he still goes to the border", "waits in a white unmarked van", "he envies cabbies salaries", etc.

Sorry man, you found the grey area you wanted to (self-admittedly within a few minutes) and then kept going.
>Entrepreneurs need to remember that we are supposed to live on the cliff between science fiction and science fact.

I really do not agree that entrepreneurs are the ones who are obligated to push humanity forward. Time and time again I have seen article after article, and person after person, conflate the ideas of innovation/invention and business/startups. Businesses just make money. That's it. You do whatever it takes to make money. I mean, Nokia sold rubber tires at one point. An invention can power a company that is built 'on top' of it (e.g. Edison getting invested in after he invented the lightbulb, Larry and Sergei creating Google after they completed their research in Search Algorithms), but just because some inventors were also entrepreneurs does not create an automatic equivalence between the two.

A lot of innovation and invention came from government sponsored projects and those have benefited society just as much.

Maybe it is time we started to approach growing world problems with a broader viewpoint than just "Solve it with a startup (or an app)"? Maybe it's time we used our intellectual forum to discuss real solutions to real problems.
I been trying to think about this from a different angle and have been trying to work out how long you could make a self-supporting fuel and oxygen line by putting a lightweight triangular gantry with three small adjustable rocket engines and a fuel pump every hundred meters or so. This wouldn't need stupid materials as it would not be under the same tensile loads, but it will have a maximum length that depends on overall fuel consumption of the structure vs the flow rate of pipe you can haul.

Also, it would be constantly burning fuel, so it has pretty high running costs.

edit - you could also make an electric version of the same thing that pumps a reaction mass like water, but then you need to be able to fire it very fast out of the nozzles otherwise the water line becomes unwieldy very quickly, so I figured using chemical fuel might make things simpler.

This makes zero sense. If the supposed problem is that people are being kicked out of their homes due to broken rent control laws, let's fix rent control laws. This tax is likely to punish more than just professional flippers, and even still, won't affect those businesses all that much.

This should be "Refactoring Ruby with Applicative Functors". The common interface for the so-called "monads" here is a subset of that of an applicative functor [1]; the fact that the types discussed could also support monad definitions (and that in some other languages, the applicative functor definition would piggy back on the monad definition) isn't really relevant.

[1] Comparing the listed Ruby to Haskell, .from_value is "pure", #within is "fmap", and there's no real equivalent of <*>.
It would also allow you to make a 911 "call" silently, which in some (admittedly rare) circumstances would be a huge benefit.
Agree. But its seems those features will not be used as much. This highlights a market opportunity for a simple CarPlay-only client that is significantly cheaper.
My understanding is that cheese is more expensive in Canada because of the Canadian Dairy Commission. They place quotas on farmers in terms of how much they can produce to keep the price of milk and cheese high enough so farmers can make a tidy profit.

"The Canadian Dairy Commission is a Crown corporation which was established in 1966 with the mandate of coordinating federal and provincial dairy policies and creating a control mechanism for milk production which would help stabilize revenues and avoid costly surpluses."

In general, under the law, you lose control of a physical good (product) the moment you sell it, as the article explains. Your trademark (brand) does indeed have some legal protection, but Pirate Joe's isn't treading in that pool.

This is a Good Thing™ because sellers should never be able to withdraw a product from a consumer's control or have a say in what the consumer is allowed to do with the product once they've bought it. The moment purchase law allows that you get companies adding provisions that purchasers aren't allowed to review a product they've bought or do things like refill a printer cartridge with other ink (witness the DMCA).

None of these consumer protections causes the company to lose control of their brand, and neither does Pirate Joe's.
> You need also to "rebase" your app

Sure you need to (unless it's some kind of a base independent code like a well-written shellcode). I was just saying that 0x00400000 isn't hard-coded in the x86 architecture or in Windows and it can be set to anything (aligned to 0x10000 boundary).
It's worthwhile to note that in many places you are legally obliged to have both in your car.
Ask HN: How to run a SaaS in an environment with non-supportive parents?
so basically im running a SaaS business. i got a few customers just after a few weeks after launching and focused on making more happen. but... my parents are unhappy that im not working at a job and think im wasting time. even when i convince them that these are monthly paying customers (at least paying $100 and upwards) and that I am confident I can make enough sales within a few months to pay the same salary I got when I used to work as a developer but they are not having it.

I'm half ass applying for jobs I don't even want to work for, just to buy time almost. I really feel like this is an opportunity for me to make an independent business, I do take freelance projects on the side as well to supplement income but to my parents it doesn't look like a 'job'.

How can I explain it when they won't even listen? They are still stuck with the old school idea of 9 to 5, marrying a co-worker, and that I'm running out of time (I'm 26 and have worked as a software dev for about 2 years at a few companies, I fucking hated it and took drugs and drank).

The office life is really not for me, I really want to work on this and make it financially viable and I have confidence that I can do this. I set out to sell this week and I made it happen. Next week I'll try sell to two people and make it happen somehow. I don't know if I'm being too optimistic but I just see that if I sell to 15 people, I'll make the same salary I used to. That's a totally achievable number in my head. If I even do slightly above it, I'm breaking the salary barrier.
Than what happens ? who takes control of the west bank ?

Most likely answer is a big mess, other militant groups and tribes(hamulut) fighting for control. kind like a civil war.And than who ever wins, you got a new terrorist organization. Hopefully we get one that is willing to work with Israel. But we might not.

But a civil war with the purpose of peace, by peaceful citizens ? Maybe that'll work.
You were low-balled or have particularly shitty resume. 110k is offer for new grads. The right approach to maximizing offer is to get 5-6 offers, do bidding war between companies you do not want to work for and then ask the company you want to work for to match the highest offer.
I agree with your other 3 points.

> Scala, Swift, and a number of other imperative languages have adopted monads (like Maybe) to great effect.

Much of the use of "monads" in many other languages -- and particularly all the examples here -- really rely only on that subset of monad functionality that defines applicative functors.

> Conversely, the state monad (for example) has seen less adoption.

The use of the state monad really relies on it being a monad and not a mere applicative functor; I'm not sure if that's related, but I think that applicative functors are an easier thing to wrap your head around than monads.
Usually when someone gets other people to buy millions worth of your product who otherwise wouldn't it's called advertising.
>It is the right of universities and employers to disallow WiFi hotspots as a condition of being on the property.

You may be confusing a wifi hotspot with a wifi router. It's certainly reasonable for the owners of a physical network to disallow users to plug in their own wifi routers, especially because it can cause problems, even potentially taking down the entire network with loops and rogue DHCP servers. There are ways the owner can prevent those problems, but it comes at higher cost of equipment

I don't see why a hotspot would be any different than a mobile phone. Some places tell you to turn them off, because it interrupts the movie, and they may ask you to leave if you don't. But they don't jam phones and provide high cost alternatives.
