Applying the knowledge taught in the course is different from applying knowledge of something tangentially related to something taught in the course to a completely different problem, which is what seems to have happened here.
I remember meeting some French guys in one of SF's startup accelerators who had a similar startup - to create websites for small businesses from crawled data and do serious SEO for these websites, then once customers inquiry or try to register for appointments online or whatnot, they would send the original business an email saying something along the lines of "claim your website - you have customers waiting". While it definitely seems to be in a gray area - it does sound like a decent idea... Could someone with a legal background comment on the legality of this?
damn. sorry about that.
There's not a general solution to serializing child objects, it totally depends on the use case and the number of children. So for example if you have a lot of child objects it might not even make sense to include theirs ids, but have a seperate (maybe nested) resource to retrieve them. On the other hand if there are only few children you might want to include them in their parent resource.

There's a difference between doing math proofs and solving equations, and understanding problems quantitatively (which requires some basic math competency as a prerequisite). The sample question suggests it was the latter. It's like an algorithms question where the professor tells you not to do math, just think in Big O.
Do everything that everyone else here has stated, but also watch out for other things that they might fraudulently claim:

- Local listings - make sure that the Google local listing, and other local directories are showing the correct information, and that they didn't try to change this

- Social media accounts - What the scammy company would sell as "reputation management." Verify that they are not creating accounts on all of the big social media sites.
It might be wise for him to stand up against the government from a secure location.
Agreed that you should have your lawyer contact them with a threatening email. Also, you could have a friend "hire" them for some small service just to get their information. Then provide that to your lawyer to pursue more substantial legal measures.

My experience with SEO companies has been horrible.

I worked for one for a month, have worked with them in the past at agencies I have worked at, and was given a list of "optimizations" from one a the startup I currently work for.

My experience while working for one is, by far, the worst. The owner/CEO asked me to lie to a customer and tell them I did work that he had actually outsourced to India. "In the future, try to funnel these things through you. Instead of saying, 'I will pass that on to the developer', say, 'I will take care of that'".

I feel like their skills are hard to quantify, and because of this a lot of people get sucked in on questionable sales pitches. This market then seems to draw the "Snake Oil" type salesmen who find they can get easy money.

Although there are good people offering quality SEO services, I have had 100% bad experiences with them.

Isn't the argument of the students in the article effectively that they were expected to apply knowledge they weren't taught to solve a new problem?
Money doesn't have to go directly to the government. Their plan to fund things is more along the lines of making the many, many tax-evaders actually pay. Businesses that need loans can take them out on an individual basis, injecting money into the economy, but the government can get money from its own people rather than other countries.

Maybe the English back translation is making its way into Mexico? Maybe it always was there? Who knows. It sounds weird to me, as if you were speaking of a particular group of dead people instead of all of the dead, but maybe usage has changed or it always existed.
"Even well-meaning people sometimes skew their hiring judgements unconsciously, because of shortcuts our brains have internalized over a long period of time. Blind auditions are key to eliminating implicit hiring bias."

So will this only work if you never perform an in-person interview?
Are you sure? I thought the private creditors were already "haircutted", most of the Greek debts is to EU states and IMF.
Excellent. I fervently hope he can help call time on the "fiscal waterboarding". Here's the truth: the EU bailouts of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain were mainly about protecting private creditors from taking losses on their investments. In fact this week the IMF had this to say about the Irish bailout:

"The failure of policy makers to impose losses on some bank creditors at the height of Ireland’s financial crisis was a mistake that forced Irish taxpayers to foot a bill that should have been borne by the wider eurozone, according to the International Monetary Fund.

The failure to 'bail-in' unsecured creditors to a bank rescue that cost Irish taxpayers €64bn and bankrupted the country was based on the view that doing so would have serious adverse 'spillover' effects in other eurozone countries, even though such risks were 'not obvious'."[1]

All of the developed world bailouts have benefited the most well-connected, the most wealthy, entrenched interests, i.e. banks and investors. And in the case of the U.S. banks this has not led to an end to Too Big To Fail, in fact, they've just gotten bigger and the relatively modest reforms that were passed are now even in danger of being rolled back.[2]

All of these extraordinary measures have led to paltry growth at best. And this includes quantitative easing which has not worked in Japan, has not worked in the U.S. and is not likely to work in Europe...unless you are wealthy or a bank, in which case it has worked just fine.[3][4]

No wonder we have Davos-man plotting his escape.[5] Any fool can see this kind of economic leadership is not sustainable.

I would recommend filling in real address details in Mailchimp. After I entered my email and was taken to the confirmation page I immediately regretted it when I saw the "1234 B St LA, California 90210" address. Not a good signal for legitimacy.
Without knowing what coordination cost is, that would be my guess. I'd probably phrase it vaguely like "the cost of coordinating N people is proportional to the number of connections between those people, i.e. proportional to N^2".

But that might be less obvious to an econ student who's never studied complexity theory.

"In gravity's rainbow, space does not exist below a certain minimum length, and time does not exist below a certain minimum time interval"

Does this imply that neither space nor time can go below the given threshold independently? I.e.: could a situation be imagined where time remains above the minimal interval, but space is below? Also, would those answers be different depending on the observer's time / position?
It's enough that old loans are repaid faster than new ones are taken up. Given that the surplus would otherwise have to be enormous, this is standard procedure for most indebted countries.

The Greek state is such a mess that bankruptcy would be a good thing, in some ways. Greece needs to keep their budget balanced, and it's unclear whether the government is able to implement the necessary changes even if they wanted to and shame or embarrassment has shown itself a poor motivator for the shadow state. In fact, in my opinion default should have happened sooner, while there was still some private debt to default on. Now it's a bit too late, as 80% of Greek debt is held by governments/IMF/ECB.
And that's certainly an important skill to have. But it doesn't appear to have been taught in the class.

This is like sitting in a driver's ed. classroom for a few weeks, and then putting you in your car for the actual test with no practice in the middle.
I agree with everything you say up to “panics do not destroy capital; they merely reveal the extent to which it has been previously destroyed by its betrayal into hopelessly unproductive works”

In todays fractional banking system where banks only hold a fraction of liquid assets to cover their liabilities, a run on a good bank could still put it under. (Lehman, Bear and others were both illiquid and insolvent, but runs can kill good banks too) This is why the FDIC was put up to guarantee commercial banks. Nothing similar existed to protect investment banks.

Yes, I know what the "New Deal" was. If you don't think the "New Deal" involved giving out money (and this probably isn't the place to have that discussion) then certainly you could come to different conclusions about OP.

Actually, your email isn't (that I could see) in your profile. Odds are good, "Low karma." Geniuses built hacker news so that spammers like I used to be couldn't alter the system, have too much influence and more.

So no, I can't see your email, I can't mentally parse it from your username, etc. My contact info is in my profile - eg, if you know I'm Jeremy Goodrich, I'm not too hard to find. All too easy, in fact. I'm the only one of the sixty to one hundred folks with the same name who's been in digital marketing & search / information retrieval since finished college at University of Oregon. Feel free to write, I like chatting with people. Thanks for reading, listening and here's to a fun conversation.

React Native doesn't presume to know how to build cross-platform apps. But we want to enable people to do that.

That results in two different classes of Native components:

- Cross-platform components that are nearly identical on each platform- Eg. <View>, <Text>, <Image>, <TextInput>, <ListView>. There will not be many more of these

- Platform-specific components- When there is not an identical API and feature-set, we provide bridged components which can take full advantage of the platform. There will be a lot of these, but we currently only have a handful.

The real power comes from React's component-driven declarative programming style. The asynchronous batched bridge is well designed, but it's nothing special.
This is not a true SEO company. Honest SEO firms that deal with organic/natural search engine rankings wouldn't do such a thing. It's a shame that companies like this give the honest SEO firms a bad rep.

Did the company in question ever say that they were an SEO firm in their sales pitch or just an online marketing agency?

Personally, I would contact the medical board, see a lawyer about what the doctor's rights are, and file a UDRP domain dispute to get ahold of that domain name.
Yeah. I work from home and I didn't want my address public. I understand your concern.
tl;dr: "This time it's different."

The piece was more persuasive than I thought it would be, and Tsipras' diagnosis of the cause of the problem is dead-on: this is a crisis of insolvency, not illiquidity.

The problem with what Tsipras is asking for is that markets get a vote, too, and the outright forgiveness of Greek debt would cause massive upheaval -- potentially to the point of making the EU itself unsustainable.

I think the only way the Germans will agree to debt forgiveness at meaningful quantums is if Greece leaves the Euro currency union and goes back to the drachma. That would send a powerful message to the financial markets -- "you get one mulligan, and the price of that mulligan is leaving the Eurozone".

Of course, Tsipras doesn't want that. He wants a "European New Deal", the details of which he provides rather sparingly. My guess is that if he were to flesh out these details, Germans would find them not only unreasonable but laughable.

The "wild card" scenario is if SYRIZA undertakes a project of massive wealth confiscation from the Greek elite. That actually might move the needle of German public opinion--one of the biggest points of outrage among the German people over the last 5 years has been the juxtaposition of media coverage of the excesses of wealthy Greeks (and their creative non-payment of taxes) with the math of how much each German family was being asked to give to rescue Greece. Start levying massive one-time luxury taxes on Greek-domiciled assets of Greek citizens (with asset seizures as penalty of non-payment) and maybe you get enough schadenfreude flowing in Germany to meaningfully alter public opinion.
And you can't even get that from the language itself. While MRI (last I checked) doesn't support an intermediate file of its bytecode format, Rubinius does (.rbc), for example.
Indeed they do (and far better than most English-speakers speak any foreign language). My point was that this has been professionally translated from Greek into many languages, beginning with German on January 13 (paywall, sadly). So there is no point in criticising the English of the original Greek author or authors.
This is something we're still building (Sandstorm is still in alpha), but what we have in mind we call the Powerbox.

The idea is that one app can say to the system "I implement such and such protocol at such and such endpoint". Later on, some other app can say "I need something implementing such and such protocol". The system itself displays a picker, showing the user all of their other apps that may satisfy the requirement. When the user makes a choice, the requesting app is told how to contact the providing app and is implicitly given permission to do so, whereas prior to the exchange the apps had no ability to talk to each other. The user can inspect these connections later and potentially revoke them.

This is a whole lot easier for the user than going to the providing app and editing an ACL, then going to the requesting app and giving it an endpoint address, etc.

The way this is implemented under the hood is in terms of Cap'n Proto capability-based RPC. Blog post on that:

Why is early in the gain chain necessarily bad? Suppose the later stages of the chain introduce no distortion, would it be possible (in theory) to have low power devices like this create all the nonlinear effects considered desirable by audiophiles and then just amplify that later on?
An exam is supposed to test what you are taught. If 90% of the students didn't understand the exam, they weren't taught properly. That is the teacher's fault.

>> I wonder if they typically launch with very conservative defaults and over time can learn more about the system and what tweaks can be done without causing too many issues.

Good point. Slamming full torque as fast as possible on a Tesla might physically break things and should only be pushed out as an update after appropriate testing. I'm assuming they were not even getting the highest possible torque out of it though. Electric motors are a fairly interesting problem and most of the work goes into dealing with limiting cases. Most of the literature doesn't even deal with some of the fundamental problems and most people just avoid them by leaving a little performance on the table.

Some good advice so far; thanks, everyone!

My wife is in contact with the College of Physicians and Surgeons to keep them abreast of the situation. We'll see if she can engage their lawyers. She's also documenting everything as it has happened.

I did a little bit of snooping through WHOIS records. I think the SEO company is based in Montreal so we might be able to do something domestically about it.
"So I really have two questions. What would you do in my situation (would you stay in a smaller city?), and if you could start over in web development, what would you focus on?"

2 years ago I got laid off from a job I was at for almost 8 years. File for unemployment and make sure that's set. Clean up your resume and LinkedIn then enjoy some time off. For me, it was early July so it was nice to sit outside on the patio for a while. I freelanced through the summer, made a bit of money here and there - We survived until the following March when I found a job.

I don't think there is any starting over in development. Why through away any # of years of experience? If you can find a job using your existing skill set - awesome! If not - well, you've got 6 months to find a new language.

My primary language has always been PHP. I used it at the job I got laid off from as well as the 2 jobs I found after unemployment. Side projects are causing me to learn new languages / frameworks and I'm working on a big site in AngularJS myself. Will AngularJS open any doors for me? No idea - but it's another skill that'll go on my resume / LinkedIn for sure.

My current job and last job found me via LinkedIn - as much as most people I think like to hate it, it does have it's value. Spend some time there and see what you find.
I agree, but on the other hand Greece was taking the loans. It takes two to tango and it's both's fault.

But yeah, QE should go directly and equally to citizens. Everything else is transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich.
>> which is solved in ES6 by introducing lexical scoping
I thought JS has always had lexical scoping. What's new in ES6 allowing variables to have block scope.
Well, no. The fundamental problem is that Germany has been treating the rest of the EU as an expedient export market while refusing to allow equivalent imports, and at the same time aggressively insisting that countries in the EU should somehow magically not need debt... to continue buying from Germany.

There's also the minor point that this is yet another excuse to indulge the usual neoliberal hatred of social spending and everything else that improves the condition of ordinary people who work for a living.

Germany has a long post-war history of renegotiating or ignoring debt. So crashing the Greek economy by enforcing murderous austerity - literally murderous in its effects, and not hyperbole - is a new peak in self-serving hypocrisy.
Sounds like the same end result to me.

BTW- I'm not disagreeing that giving Greece more money one way or another doesn't make sense, I'm just pointing out that I see nothing in OP where Greece is saying "let us go our own scrappy way without your money, we can fend for ourselves". Instead they want debt forgiveness, followed by more money.

It does not sound like a decent idea.

'Decent' is not a word that fits with 'deceptive practices', 'impersonation', or 'extortion'.
Having just spent more time at work this week creating PR for bugs in npm modules, instead of doing actual work... I'm starting to agree.

But honestly I think that's just par for the course for any substantially popular language. I don't think Go (or any other language) is inherently immune to this.

SEO, as an industry, is shysters. Even "good" SEO is still a service designed to break search engines. A scummy industry is going to attract scummy people, it just becomes a question of to what degree they are scummy.

It's really great! I like such "comparative language studies" very much. I'm working on something similar for JavaScript and LiveScript with focus on functional programming techniques: https://klibert.pl/warsawjs-talk/code.html but it's static text. On the other hand it's Org Babel document (just replace .html with .org to see the source) which makes it easy to play with for Emacs users. Screencast would be much better format in terms of getting people to focus, but I was too scared of typos, pauses and outright errors I'd make... In short: good job!
Jaron Lanier on Why Wealth Concentration Among the Few Is Unsustainable
What I don't understand about this type of logic is the refusal to acknowledge the damage being done by the forced depression. It's like a 19th century leech therapy, keep sucking out blood until they get better. If Greece's economy is allowed to recover everybody will be better off, the banks, the politics, the people living in Greece and even the German taxpayer.
