Great, thanks for this!
They have people working as game testers. That's a job that's usually outsourced to low-paid people, but not offshored. As a job, it sucks. Read "The Trenches" - http://trenchescomic.com
The number of game testers isn't that large.

Manufacturing jobs are coming back to the US, though. It turns out that there has to be about a 4:1 labor cost advantage to justify outsourcing to Asia. US vs. Shentzen is now about 5:1. The headaches of controlling the work, quality control, and shipping delays add up. General Electric brought washing machine manufacturing back to the US.

It only added 200 jobs, though; the new plant is highly automated. The peak year for US manufacturing employment was 1979. Production is way up since then. Employment is not.

It's hard to think of anything that really needs a large number of low-wage employees in a single location any more. Even Foxconn is planning to automate phone production and cut their workforce way down.
That could be a matter of context, though. Obviously this was not the situation for the author of the article, but that isn't automatically an inappropriate statement. Let's say the person who said it actually has a friendship with the recipient, and knows that she is in an abusive relationship. The manager/boss/founder may not know any of this, and the hair-trigger "you're fired" response is entirely unwarranted and fairly horrible.

Recently I was having a conversation with a coworker (who is also a friend) where I said something to him that would be pretty bad if we weren't also friends. (We often have a faux-confrontational relationship and hurl fake insults at each other.) Someone who wasn't aware of our friendship overheard, and mentioned it to our boss, who then calmly asked me for an explanation. In the end, our boss agreed that the 3rd party overreacted, but suggested (and I agreed) that I might want to tone it down in situations where others who don't understand could misinterpret my words. He didn't come at me angrily or with an accusation of impropriety, but instead asked a reasonable question in an attempt to understand the context of the situation. Immediately taking the matter to HR or threatening me with being fired would have been counterproductive.

I doubt this will be a popular take on it, but she seems to have let coworkers she didn't particularly care for become her whole social life. Of course that would make someone quite unhappy. I was like that perhaps 10 years ago and I had to become much better at creating boundaries between work and the rest of my life; this made me much happier.

If she wanted a suggestion, I'd tell her to look for companies with older people in them. They often have kids, and treat a job as a job -- you come, work, and leave -- rather than the entirety of their existence. I don't have kids, but I find myself much happier when the median coworker does.
Did anybody else notice the little Samsung logo at the top right corner of the slides? I wonder what's up with that.

According to Mark Cuban(who I'm pretty damn sure knows what he is talking about), it isn't remotely a bubble, because in the dot com bubble everyone was investing - regular working people quit their jobs to become day traders, you would hear people at the coffee shop talking about the prices of stocks they bought, etc. Then when the bubble burst those who hadn't got out while they could lost everything and more. Now its VCs that are throwing money at everything, and they've got more than they know what to do with, and will be just fine if companies they invest in fail.

Kind of in bad taste to answer one story of racism with more racism. Also, making a work environment more inclusive for minorities should not be as hard as playing Peter Dinklage against Yao Ming.

UK government crackdown on mobile 'notspots'
White, male here. I moved to the US 3 years ago.

I worked at a rather "diverse" company.

3 White Males (2 of them foreigners from Europe, including myself)

1 White Female

2 Black Males

2 Black Females

2 Hispanic Males

1 Asian Female

Diverse, not because we had some HR person make sure we can write a cute blog post for HackerNews on how great our "diverse workspace" is., but because it just came into place like that.

We all shared the same office space. I never felt uncomfortable and neither did anybody else (not that i know of). We all got along very well. Coming from Germany, i got thrown a Nazi joke a few times. I know how it was ment and how to take it.

Or as a fan of old school hip-hop, i found myself at concerts with a 80% black crowd. Did I, in that moment, realize that i am "the white kid"? Yep. But guess what: I don't care. I don't go on HackerNews and cry about it.

Overall: if everybody could stop being so sensetive. Grow up. People are different. Some people aren't nice. Learn to deal with it.

> I did what I thought I had to do to survive in the environment. I once again donned the uniform to fit in. Jeans, “unisex” t-shirt, Timbuk2 messenger bag. I stayed late playing multiplayer Battlefield, I quickly learned a bunch of classic rock songs so I could play Rock Band and Guitar Hero with the team, I don’t like beer so I went out to beer taverns and drank water.

The only person that is making you uncomfortable are you yourself. Really, wear what you like, play whatever you like, listen to the music you like.

In the case of the guy with the domestic abuse "jokes": that is a total different thing. That's not being racist or sexist, it is just being an asshole and legal steps against that guy should be taken.

The "See full list of compatible devices" link leads to a page that doesn't list the device... so basically I'm still wondering what devices it'll be compatible with.

I believe that "Live Preview" conflicting with Chrome DevTools is a limitation on the Chrome side. Note that the Brackets feature isn't a live "reload" - Brackets pokes into the live DOM and makes changes dynamically, without reloading the page. As I recall, it does this with the same hooks DevTools uses, and Chrome only allows one entity at a time to do such things.

Personally I've gotten in the habit of switching back and forth. I tend to use Live Preview when I'm tweaking layout and design (so much easier than doing things in the inspector and then remembering what changes to reflect in my code), but switching to the browser tools for most script stuff. If Live Preview had a javascript console I suspect I'd hardly use the browser tools..
Black, late 20's here. It's different. There have been times when I've felt excluded for reasons completely not having to do with my race. Surely there are some shared themes with every other person, but the first time you see an instance of someone treating you worse just because of the color of your skin it makes you want to punch straight through a wall.

The hour first point, this is a limitation of chrome. They only allow a single debugger to be attached at once. As dev tools and livereload both count as debuggers you can only have 1 active.

"The Experiment" is comparing two different things. One's an issue of personal safety combined with elements of not fitting in, the other's an issue of not fitting in, combined with elements of career stressors.

You say it isn't all that different, but having experienced too much of both, it is.

Both are real, and sometimes both occur at once, but to say a white guy in a predominantly non-white and high-crime neighborhood would gain empathy for a non-white coder in a predominantly white tech company, would be as absurd as claiming the reciprocal.
> Hes created a great company

Tinder has made 0 revenue since it's inception in 2012. That's not a company, that's a product. (a great product mind you)

> If tinder was private, its valuation would likely trump that of IAC.

IAC makes a lot of money ($3bil) and has a high market cap ($6bil). Given it's ownership of every large dating site, it's it conceivable that IAC has set the precedence for the total addressable market for online dating. Or at the very least, has an indication of such. I'm curious as to the rationale that would make Tinder worth more than IAC given that (1) Tinder hasn't made a single dime (2) the sites that do make money already have a large market share and continue to grow despite a free contender like Tinder existing and (3) a company "worth over a billion" needs to theoretically have a trajectory to not only bring in $150mil in revenue but exceed that in the foreseeable future in order for a billion dollar price tag to be realistic (on that same note - "billion dollar" valuations only make sense when their is a buyer who can foot that bill or the company has a trajectory to make those kind of profits. to my knowledge IAC would be the only company in existence to do such a thing).

Lastly, I'm genuinely curious about the history and terms setup between IAC and Tinder. If Tinder is such a darly of the tech world and is a "billion dollar business" then why did it chose to be so restricted by IAC when it's valuation "would likely trump that of IAC"? I curiously ask not because I have any sort of knowledge of their history, but rather the current arrangement suggests a story entirely different than the prescribed narrative that you suggest.

Their software is pretty awful but over time it has gotten some what better with my UP24. My biggest issue is the battery drain it causes on Android Devices. Why it is uploading at random, who knows. Why not be able to set times on when it uploads? I really don't need to know my current progress unless I open the app.
How common are mid-stage small software companies with co-founders looking to sell some shares? I'm not talking about anything near large enough to warrant registration. It doesn't seem like a lot written about this topic, because the focus is always on acquisition.

Obviously there's strong pressure from many directions to keep the cap table simple, keep the shares closely held, etc. But after many years of bootstrapping it can't be that uncommon to want to capture some of that value.
The gay smile. Made me giddy too.
Increasing racial diversity as a solution is a recommendation without empirical grounding. I am a white male and I work part time in ed tech. Our department is quite mixed - both my supervisor and the head of our department are black woman. However, there is little collegiality here.

And this matches the literature - the more ethnic/racial diversity in a community, the less civic engagement and trust (1). I'm not sure what the answer is, but the research suggests diversity is not a universal panacea. Like anything else, there are benefits and liabilities involved - and there are other considerations to take into account.

For example, I wonder if her co-workers had been more like her in other ways, such as matching her taste in video games, dress, attitude and so on - if her experience would have been different. In my department I suspect it's mostly these other things (work and personality styles especially) that are the reason for the lack of cohesion.

The best groups I've been a part of are those that mixed the right amount of same and different. We need to feel some commonality with others to form bonds, but we also need enough differences to challenge and stimulate us. Effective hiring practices require attention to both, else company and employee will suffer.

Are there any other heart-rate monitoring devices? So far I've counted 4:

- Microsoft Band / $200 (available)

- Basis Peak / $200 (November)

- Jawbone UP3 / $180 (soon.. probably before Christmas)

- Apple Watch / $350 (2015..)

No GPS makes it an inferior device than Microsoft Band.
At least in my experience, an MSc is constituted by "tackle one interesting idea/problem, under supervision and guidance from your advisor". The exact degree of peonage or independence you are given varies with how the advisor and student get along, and with their goals. However, generally, MSc research constitutes one paper's worth of output (two if you're good, or sometimes even quite commonly nowadays, since two papers' worth means more labor got done for the same "price" in stipends and degrees), and is more closely supervised and less independent than a PhD (but still more independent than a BSc thesis).

On the other hand, my experiences have been weird, in that I had near-total independence for my BSc thesis (which, as a result, simply was not very good even though it was accepted with honors) (because my undergrad thesis advisors were involved in administration and I was doing a topic politically disfavored in that department), and an uneven degree of supervision for my MSc research (I've had a lot of guidance on what experiment to do and what statistics to run, but my advisor has never told me how to find the previous literature on our subject, even when I ask).
Note that this can only work if you divide your code properly into modules (or sub projects), where you separate the often-changing code from the rock stable code (and anything in between). Then, you rewrite mostly those modules which are subject to steady change.

If you don't do this, you'll always have to rewrite the whole system at once, which becomes bigger over the years. So you would need more and more time and developers for each rewrite.

In contrast, if you manage to always keep the amount of code you want to rewrite at a reasonable size, this approach may become workable over years.
Why does going to your parties make someone not incompetent? In any case his competence is moot, the man is a demagogue and as such should be avoided and ignored.

I'm personally racially mixed and feel comfortable many different races but can understand her feeling of Oakland. I personally can't speak for Sunnyvale, Santa Clara or San Bruno but do have personal experiences in Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose. Oakland has a more comfortable feeling while in the city. Oakland feels welcoming more so than the other cities to me personally.

The airport codes are now second level domains under ".aero". Most of them are redirects set up by the .aero promoters, though.
> airports around the world are universally known by a unique three-letter code

The 'universality' of the IATA codes seems to be a common misunderstanding as most passengers only fly to airports with scheduled services, therefore they assume all air facilities have such codes.

Only 30% or so of airports and airfields have three -letter IATA codes; all flight planning and ATC is conducted using the four-letter ICAO codes which are almost universal, though ZZZZ is eserved for exceptional cases.

Outside North America the ICAO scheme has some interesting local patterns which permit a reasonable guess to be made as to the location and category of airfield, something the IATA scheme cannot offer; it relies on rote memorisation.

e.g. ICAO code EGAA. E is Western Europe, G is UK, A is the westernmost region of the UK and A is the primary airport in thst region. Belfast International / Aldergrove.
For me it's not so much about the NSA as about her involvement in torture and war around the world. I know me "rage quitting" dropbox doesn't change a thing but it means something to me.

I know my own solution would be the best and so an actual question. Would it make sense to use private servers (think AWS) to run something custom made or would that just be exactly the same (they would still be able to read my stuff)?
Quite a few of the Android Wear devices do this as well...

> Even at places like Google and Facebook not everyone has a 130+ IQ.

I wasn't in the gifted programs when I was in school (to the contrary: the K-12 system stuck me in Special Ed for behavioral problems), but... this bit comes as a surprise. I thought Google and Facebook only hired the very gifted in the first place. I do have a 130 IQ (almost exactly, and it would be higher if not for my miserable visual-processing abilities and my "merely gifted" calculation abilities), and I'd be really surprised to find that the top tech companies (or... even... academia...) are filled with people less intelligent than me.

Congratulations: you just made me feel very, very alone.

> The world is a boring and unchallenging place when you're forced to go through it at school-zone speeds.

Yes. Yes, it is. Worse: when you're really really clever, and anywhere near a decent human being, you spend a lot of time failing to understand why the rest of the world seems to be so damn cruel, because after all, from your point of view, anyone with some decent common sense can see, plain as day, how to make things nicer for everyone.

Damn. Damn damn damn.

Scheme certainly has mutability, through set!, set-car!, set-cdr!, and procedures based upon them. It's not the default - you always know when you're mutating something - but then, there's a pretty direct syntactic translation into Javascript, where = without a var always means you're mutating something.

Why is this important for students, anyway? Shouldn't they be exposed to mutability fairly early on?

I use Tornado. It's simple, lightweight and very well documentated. It wouldn't take much time to get it up and running. And it also supports asynchronous operations out of box unlike Flask.

However community isn't big as that of Flask and has low bus factor.

Other alternative is Django REST Framework[0]. It's also well documented and get the work done. However code base is large compared to Tornado. Advantage is, it has a bigger community support and it's easy to find a developer.

enlightened they think they are, sooner to later they find

A compiler written in itself only proves that a language is good for writing compilers.
