the first time are usually struck by how establishments there manage with so few people. It's the other way round for expats in India. Dmitry Shukov, CEO of MTS India was amazed to see eight people pushing the boarding ladder at the airport the first time he arrived in Delhi.

"In Russia there is just one person doing that job. In sec tors like retail, there is always excess staff in India," he says. It's also very common in the hospitality industry, where guests are pampered with a level of service unheard of in the West. But splitting one person's job among three not only reduces wages, but also the challenge. Or, as Rex Nijhof, the Dutch chief of the Renaissance Mumbai Hotel puts it: "If you have something heavy and only two people available to move it, you have to find a way to build wheels on it. In India, you just get six more people."

I know you're being somewhat facetious, but have you considered how much the wheel has actually been reinvented?

The first wheels were probably logs under rocks. Then axles got developed, then spokes, then tyres etc.

Everything from the gyroscope to the LHC can attribute it's beginnings to the humble wheel.

Reinvention is, if not always good, always admirable.
could you send me an invite also, if you have one?
Also, are answers to closed questions stored? If not, and there is a new often used unclose workflow, it would be nice to let users still store their answer, to become visible when it becomes unclosed. This would help with the timing issue and would also give mods a way to see 'oh wait, looking at this answer it is actually too interesting to deserve these close votes'.

> Bingo. What all of these supposed "gig" economy jobs have in common is the parent company's tendency to shift all the risk to non-employees / ICs while reaping most of the economic value of the reward -- taking a heftier cut than it should from the business transaction.

What kind of cut should they be taking? Bear in mind that Uber takes a smaller cut than Apple does. Lyft goes as low as 10%.
Keyword being immediately. Waiting 24 hours from acceptance notification to quitting doesn't seem entirely unreasonable. One may not expect to be unaccepted, but a little prudence rarely hurts in the event of the unexpected.

That said, it certainly is possible to unquit at many employers provided you didn't quit by taking off your pants and running out the door shouting "adios, motherfuckers."
I almost didn't read the paper because I thought it was only about the batch-GCD method: that's fairly easy to understand. But I'm glad I read the paper because it goes on to explain how using the shared factors allowed them to understand the failure of the PRNG and use that understanding to break keys that didn't share factors, using a more sophisticated attack. It's definitely worth reading that paper.
Multi-stage JITs are indeed fascinating and give some nice wins, but as a "user" (that is, a developer) I find them frustrating at times because they make it more difficult to reason about the performance and behaviour of my code.

Not only a priori, but in terms of testing actual code and designing benchmarks as well - you have to make sure the right sections of code are hot, hitting the right levels, etc. It's extra mental load and work. (and if you're a JS developer, you may have to do this across multiple platforms). And oh, regressions and updates.

I'm not entirely convinced it's all worth it, but so far I'm begrudgingly accepting it.

The async support you linked, while useful, isn't really the same thing. It requires explicit, manual coordination between different parts of the code that want to fetch data. You're responsible yourself for batching fetches, polling, and running other code until the results are returned.

With Hack's async support, the runtime manages all of this for you. You call "await $query", and then your function is suspended until the data is available. Other code automatically runs until it too hits an await statement -- which might block it on MySQL, memcache, curl, or anything else, with no extra manual coordination needed. The runtime manages it all for you.

http://hhvm.com/blog/7091/async-cooperative-multitasking-for... has some examples for what this looks like with curl -- in the final example, notice how you can just "await" on a bunch of different things and let the runtime worry about coordinating all of them.
It's not even about the risk, it's really difficult to monetize massive amounts of cards.
Well, then they chose the wrong ones, or widely failed at defining something that works. Working with this new website (which about 30% of the time still uses old pages... Bug reports anyone?) is a huge chore.

I remember being locked out of an important project for an entire week because their buttons for adding people to projects was broken. One day, it started working again, no communication from Apple at all.

There's also this usability issue where you have to try to validate your new version of an app and only then being welcomed by an error. No pre-validation of the input fields, hello Apple?

There are myriads of small annoying issues like:

- can't share 1 email with multiple teams in iTunesConnect and Developer portal. You have to have a unique email in iTunes Connect for each of your projects. This is just ridiculous, especially when you know that on the Developer portal this works fine. I have now tens of myname+theproject@mycompany.com accounts in iTunes connect, and managing passwords is simply... damn..
- can't delete a version of an app when you have created it (but not yet uploaded a binary). WTF? I was trying to test the "beta" service, and was forced to create a new version of the app. Once created, you cannot remove it for any reason. I was stuck there with a version that I deemed was "beta", and couldn't create a new one, or remove this one.
- Seemingly random crypto export renewal. Sometimes, when issuing a new version of our app, the website will ask for the crypto documents, whereas they are in their database. Othertimes, they won't be asked.
- Once the crypto export documents have been provided, you cannot submit another one. This bit me once, because there was only _one_ "upload" button. So I sent the US Gov. crypto document, and then the page moved on, not letting me upload the French one. Afterwards, impossible to get back to this page, and Apple support kindly told me I was to drop the deployment to the French store if I wanted to continue using the App Store... The correct solution would have been to ZIP the entire set of documents, then upload them as 1 file.. which is not intuitive. Or the Apple team could have asked for the french document through their support interface, which they never did. I got out of this by uploading a dummy binary, then dropping the version entirely, and creating a new one. Bizarrely, the export documents were not asked for the next submission.

This website really sucks. I usually brag about how the iOS distribution system is superior to Android's in terms of security and separation of roles, but last month I submitted an app to the Android Play store and I was baffled by the web UI. Drag-and-drop the APK, AJAX-enhanced buttons, very quick, not fiddling with two accounts (developer and iTunes connect), overall ease of use..
Man, Apple seems to have been too busy shoveling the cash.

According to those numbers for a ~10cm bar you'd need ~1 microsecond resolution, or more depending on your tolerance of the tungsten mixture (for 1% tungsten-platinum alloy substitution you'll need ~10ns resolution).

I'm not sure this is easy to achieve! A best case commercial speaker/microphone will have a ~100khz bandwidth, which gives ~10 microsecond resolution. If you're aiming for high accuracy you also need to account for thermal variations in speed of sound, which would require a some precise thermometers.

I fired someone via e-mail earlier this week. There were a lot of elements that went into the "best way" to do it, and I don't think it's an objective fact that face-to-face is best. I've fired people face-to-face before too and it's usually not pretty. One benefit of being fired by asynchronous communication is that you maintain more dignity/privacy and can re-emerge after you've had a little bit of time to get your composure together. One time when I fired an employee in person, he immediately started to sob and made some statements that I believe he instantly began to regret (which were not personally demeaning and which I don't hold against him). I think he would've preferred to have been fired by e-mail.

I think people overthink this, and I think I overthought it when I just did it this week. The fact is that when you fire people, most of them are going to be upset, and they'll find something to rationalize that emotion no matter what you do. If you have a face-to-face, they'll say "Can you believe he was mocking us by wearing his ball cap, or his old tennis shoes, or those jeans he wore the same day he hired all of us, or that polo with the company logo on it like the company hasn't already been besmirched? How disrespectful!" or they'll just completely fabricate something like "Wow, he was so aloof in that meeting, what a mean guy".

What it really comes down to is that most people are going to look for "facts" that support their emotional perspective, not emotions that are congruent with the factual perspective.

The pre-recorded call firings are done that way to make sure the phrasing is perfect. Most likely the lawyer has already written the script and they do several takes to perfect the firing executive's inflection, tone, etc. I don't think this is objectively worse than firing someone in person or via e-mail either.

For the record, the employee I fired stated that the firing was "classless and vile" despite the inclusion of a generous and completely optional severance package, an immaculately respectful email that politely informed her the position was being eliminated and stated that we hoped we'd work together in the future, and so forth. It was honestly one of the classiest firings in which I've been involved, but like I said, to the fired person, there's always a grudge to find if they want to find one, and she wanted to find one. Her grudge is that I didn't "give the customary notice period" for a firing, which afaik absolutely doesn't exist anywhere except in the few cases that fall under the WARN act (under which companies are entitled to pay a severance equal to the legally-mandated notice period in lieu of notice).
Remarkable! Where is the flight data from?
>morals cannot be anything more than arbitrarily-made-up rules

Morals are more than made up rules because if we're just atoms, they have come about through evolution. Presumably any advanced creature would have senses for pain so it does not harm itself at the wrong time, something like happiness when things go well, an instinct to protect the offspring, a sense of beauty which quite likely corresponds to environments and creatures that are helpful for survival and probably some instincts to not trash the environment to the extent it wipes it's kind out. Hence much of the basic morals we have would seem some what inevitable to evolved life forms.

I quite like common sense evolved morals. They can be preferable to what the God inspired likes of ISIS get up to.

Doing it live isn't necessarily better.

On May 14, 2007, the staff of Sigil Games Online were told to meet in the parking lot at 4:30PM and to take with them what they would need for the rest of the day. The employees were told that the launch of the game had not gone well, the company was in financial trouble and they were selling the company to Sony Online Entertainment. Director of Production, Andy Platter, then told the employees "You're all fired."

The real problem, I think, will be moving to "idiomatic" HTTP2-centric design (lots of little resources, relying on parallel chunked delivery and server-suggested retrieval) while still keeping HTTP/1.1 clients fast.

I'm betting there will come a polyfill to make HTTP/2 servers able to deliver content to HTTP/1.1-but-HTML5 web browsers in an HTTP/2-idiomatic way—perhaps, for example, delivering the originally-requested page over HTTP/1.1 but having everything else delivered in HTTP2-ish chunks over a websocket.
I disagree. Firing via email or pre-recorded voicemail saves YOU the embarrassment of having to sit through the employees sobs. In my opinion, firing is a failure of management, and one of the consequences and fixes to ensure a failure like that doesn't occur again is to witness the very real fall out the error has on real people; that is your failure was so grand as to have a grown man in tears.

Firing via email or pre-recorded message is a way to avoid looking your failure of responsibility in the eye

Gate count is not the issue - the issue is L1 timing. For clocks at 2 GHz plus, there can be very few stages of logic in between flops. Just decoding an address to a one hot wire (necessary to access the memory bank) takes up a good chunk of that time interval. Reading the bits out and resolving them to back to full rail also takes time. Checking for a tag match, more time. Routing that back to the register file, yet more time. If it's not the L1 cache, say shared L3, the total time of flight across the chip is multiple clock cycles, not to mention all the aforementioned time penalties in addition to the longer access latency into even larger shared L3 cache.

Relatedly, in the L3, there is a hash function used to distribute different address to different regions of the L3. The cost of doing this is less significant in two ways: the L3 access latency is already much much higher (as elaborated on above) and the hash calculation can be done in parallel with other required logic (e.g. in parallel with L2 access).
While they're typically considered gauche, there are typefaces which emulate a broken typewriter. I somewhat like those as well.

How to Design for iPhone 6 Plus
Because Apple is willing to eat the cost for the benefit of having a free app?

Every free app in their store is one more reason for you to buy an iPhone.

Paid apps, while also adding to the ecosystem, do not offer the same value to Apple.

It's also just plainly logical. You can't charge people to give something away. You can charge money if you're helping them make it.
AI Airlines rufuses entry to passenger whose mother was in ICU and was 5 mins late
If only it were black and white. Banks are regulated by a variety of groups - the FDIC, the OCC, the Fed, and state regulators. Different regulators have different viewpoints. Then, even within the same regulatory agency, different individual regulators have different viewpoints. Meanwhile each individual bank is unique - different capitalization, risk profile, market, and so on.

There are a lot of situations where there is no hard and fast law that prohibits banking a particular customer, but the opinion of a regulator goes a long way in encouraging or discouraging any particular bank from doing so. Marijuana banking is an example of the murky waters banks must wade through. Is it legal or not? Depends on who you ask.

I'm not privy to any details, but I assume that SVB's regulators feel that the bank does not present a risk to the system by banking an exchange. SVB is the 50th biggest bank in the country or so, so they're in a different situation than a startup or community bank.

I suspect this isn't a very satisfying answer. All I can say is that in the long run we are motivated to offer banking services to every lawful business that we can ably serve.

>The fired employee will likely never receive what's most valuable: a thorough and actionable analysis about what went wrong.

Your use of the word "actionable" is pretty appropriate here. When I was managing people my biggest frustration was not being able to sit someone down over a beer and discuss the situation honestly. Nobody gets "fired" any more. Unless you commit a felony or break one of the PC rules you get "laid off", as in "We had a good quarter, and yes we're buying lots of stuff and hiring people, but we ran out of money to pay you."

As a manager I can't very well come along later and say "Here's the real reason we let you go." Because the lawsuits would start to fly. The over-litigious employment environment (at least in the US) prevents people from learning how to be better employees. I've had people call me up months after we let them go and essentially beg me to tell them the truth. But I couldn't take that risk.

I don't manage people any more, and good riddance to that shit.

no, but it would certainly help. This year I will cross 100k paid to Apple, and I've been making slightly below market rates for a few years. If I had the 100k back, I would have not only gotten to market rates, but also have enough cash on hand to consider hiring someone. At the very least I could hire someone on a part time/freelance basis.

We compete with banks, and also partner with them. Our model allows for multiple bank partners, but for the time being we're integrated with a single bank.

Our stuff is designed to be portable between banks where possible. There are only about half a dozen bank core systems in wide use in the US today, so in theory if we integrated with all of them we'd be able to partner with most any bank. To date we have integrated with two different cores.
Very interesting. Will definitely keep that in mind!

Agreed. Short of termination for criminal or grossly inappropriate behavior--that is, the kind of action that is not within an employer's mandate to handle--a firing is management trying to fix management's mistakes at as little cost to management as possible. The literal least you can do in that position is wield the axe yourself and take a good look at the consequences of your screwup.
