The problem is waste of time, energy and resources for both applicants and employers.

I am a recruiter myself and been working in HR for the past 10+ years and obtaining a reference is not as simple as you make it sound, which is a phone call away.

There are many instances when ex employer quits a job, relocates, doesn't respond to phone calls, hence the new employer and applicant both waste time chasing someone who is not available to provide a reference.
Saving paperbased references is a very old method of safe keeping references, noone these days carries a file of credentials when they go for interviews, hence, storing paperless references saves them the trouble and they can forward them to any potential employer.

Similar for the employer its a simple system, no need to engage in multiple email exchanges or phone calls, simply use one simple platform, once the reference is done, save a pdf, or delete it.

Actually, it was one of three. The Shinano was completed as the biggest carrier of WW II and sank on its maiden voyage due to faulty (or non-existent) damage control. For those who care about such things, there were a number of carriers converted from battleships/battlecruisers or cruisers used in WW II.

Sorry, I'm one of those who care about such things...
This approach is awesome, but (I am not a lawyer, this is not advice!) one drawback is that the whole concept of an option is that it's optional. If the company succeeds, you exercise your option and spend that money to get a much larger return. If you must buy the option, and the company does not succeed, then you've spent the money and it's gone. You've lost the "option" aspect of an option.

And of course, yes, the company may say "we're spending our money to buy this for you, don't worry" the truth is money is money. Someone (company or you) is buying the option early, thus having less money to spend on other things.

Alternatives could be the company pays you that money, so it's yours to spend as you see fit. Including, someday, buying the option if you want.

Hope that helps!

Just one glance at the Rust version (e.g. [1]) shows a lot of needless allocation. For example:

if *strn == "&".to_string() { ... }

is a very slow (and verbose) way to write

if &strn[..] == "&" { ... }

and

rr_string("'".to_string() + k.to_string() + "' not found".to_string())

is a very slow (and verbose) way to write

rr_string(format!("'{}' not found", k))`

Etc. etc.

I think that's probably a good distinction/system.

I grew up in the Czech Republic and I was allowed access to knives at age 3 or so. Sometimes I cut myself. My grandpa would just tell me "Nešikovne maso musí prič." which translates roughly as "Unskilled meat has got to go." I was allowed to wander around the forest, start fires and climb trees. I got lost, burned and I fell. Even in the city I remember going on errands when I was in kindergarden. Nobody batted an eye at a 6 year old kid walking into a store to return some bottles so he could buy a lolipop.

I really appreciate the skills and perspective I gained from my upbringing.

Most significantly it instilled in me a deep sense of personal responsibility.

From an early age I knew that mistakes were nobody's fault but my own. I learned to think before I acted. I am eternally grateful to my parents for providing me with that sort of childhood.

I am glad that I could have died.

"... that's the real death; not this death when you depart the body, but being dead while you're alive. That's real death, I think." ~ Henry Miller
The date comparison is incorrect, I believe. The spec says "get the time one month from this very second", but the Ruby implementation gives 30 days from now. I assume it should be "1.month.from_now" and not "30.days.from_now"

If 30 days from now were acceptable then the Python would be:

>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(days=30)
datetime.datetime(2015, 4, 3, 19, 21, 52, 769289)

How does one measure such things as "quick to embrace new things" in a language? Or in the community? This instead seems like an unfounded assertion made by the author.

After all, we all know that R programmers quickly embrace the newest statistical analysis methods, and leave Python and Ruby in the dust.

The last two companies I've gotten offers from gave me very, very heavy pushback when I tried to figure out what % of equity they were giving me.

They told me they were giving me 5,000 shares (for example). OK... 5,000 of how many? What % of all the shares is 5,000? My understanding is you need this information to know if the equity is worth something or nothing. Yet, they really don't want to give me this information.

For one of these jobs the recruiter I was going through (this is a big recruitment company) literally told me nobody has ever asked these questions about the options they were getting.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have a misunderstanding of how these things work? Is it unreasonable for me to be told the outstanding shares?

I like this idea, and a Google search shows that it's still being thought about. This is one of those things that would be really interesting to try in a small slice of the real world to see what the people participating in it think of the system. I wonder how difficult it would be to get a group to sign on.

It also appears to me to be close to what the electoral college was intended to do: you do not vote directly for a representative; you vote for a member of the community whose opinion you trust to take the time to do the research on the candidates and pick the one who best represents the community's interest. That may have worked well when local communities were often more homogeneous than they are today, now it's just a weird artifact. With dynamic democracy, the ability to always override your proxy seems like it would mitigate the problem of accepting a representative "whole hog" and ensure that for the issues you find important you can always make your choice known.

What about the disadvantages of this kind of system? There are bound to be tradeoffs but given my cursory understanding (and enthusiasm for some kind of change) those are harder for me to see.

Great question. I love ifttt too. We are focused only in notifications and sending relevant data to the user. In our opinion, this has many advantages (in that context), being the most important that our interfaces are made thinking just on this problem so we can make it more usable and also that we can hand-curate every alert and add new ones faster. IFTTT is more about automation.

My first reaction: How did another note taking app made it to the top of the Hacker News?

I went to the website and didn't see anything special. It was not until that I watched the video, the idea clicked for me and I am able to see the value of this app. I immediately wished that it was available on Windows.

I would suggest creating a GIF demo for the website. Something similar to how Shortcat App does. https://shortcatapp.com/

And yes, you should increase the price. 9.99$ should be the minimum for the tool considering the value it provides.

> That's a very strange question; why do you think that matters, or that it's reasonable to ask?

It's just to find out more about who I might be working with. It didn't feel weird to ask - but perhaps you're right. Often it's been explained before as part of the "how sociable is the team" question. ("Well, we're all family people, so...", or "Most of the team are in their early 20s so often out on a Friday night" etc.)

> As much as I think this is a very critical item for a good work environment, do you think an interviewer is likely to answer that question any differently whether they do or not?

This question is generally one I would ask someone who I would be working with as part of the team, and while you might not get a direct answer, you can tell a lot from how they answer. If it's a bit vague, then they probably don't have anything specific in place. But I've also had very enthusiastic replies along the lines of "Yes we do! In fact that's very important to us!" This can make a difference if there's multiple offers on the table and you're trying to figure out which offer to take.

The other questions are, yes, obvious, but they're basically leading questions. Asking about the company history can often give you some insights into recent events that might not be obvious from their website (and other sources), and replies to the question about open source are useful to see whether they're aware of open source practices inside the company (depending on the size of the company, there might be different things going on).

That was the first thing I thought of when I read the description
The cynic in me would guess it's because he's not a big fan of neural nets, and prefers a more symbolic/statistical machine learning approach.

Personally, I don't think this is a dead end. Reinforcement learning with an effective method of representation learning is pretty much all you need for a general AI.
Here, deep neural nets are able to learn how to represent the massive state space for vision quite well, but there's a bit of a mismatch in games where actions have to be taken in a specific order (e.g., where extended pathfinding is required) because for reinforcement learning to work well, your features need to capture that sort of temporally extended state information.

That's still a hard problem, but not insurmountable, and there's already strides in that direction. From the RL side, there's things like option models for taking series of actions, and from the deep learning side there's things like long short term memory and DeepMind's own neural Turing machines.

Knowing the group at DeepMind, they'll be able to crack it, and I think Mason is being entirely too pessimistic about the timeline in any event. Fifty years to control a drone?

You are completely reasonable. I've turned down offers because of this exact reason (and it was the only problem with the offer). I tell them that if they won't give me the denominator of the equation, I'll assume it's pretty close to infinity, and value the options aspect of the offer at $0.

Slava @ rethink here.

This is a really interesting subject -- I should do a talk/blog post about this at some point. Here is a quick summary.

RethinkDB's storage engine heavily relies on the notion of immutability/append-only. We never modify blocks of data in place on disk -- all changes are recorded in new blocks. We have a concurrent, incremental compaction algorithm that goes through the old blocks, frees the ones that are outdated, and moves things around when some blocks have mostly garbage.

The system is very fast and rock solid. But...

Getting a storage engine like that to production state is an enormous amount of work and takes a very long time. Rethink's storage engine is really a work of art -- I consider it a marvel of engineering, and I don't mean that as a compliment. If we were starting from scratch, I don't think we'd use this design again. It's great now, but I'm not sure if all the work we put into it was ultimately worth the effort.
> (there's no reasoning going on in the DeepMind work, just statistical correlation)

John Carpenter did a really great job with this movie and story. Every scene in this movie plays to the story, there is literally no filler in this movie.

The Thing starts right off with the story and smoothly transition through it to the very end. Also, The Thing monster in this story is scary as hell too.

It's sort of a noble savage stereotype, but in reality "working class" (even just that name is indicative of this idea) people are still people too -- they do things on their time off, some of them are hard-working, some of them are lazy, some of them do a good job at work, some of them suck, some of them are good parents, some of them aren't.

Well, it certainly leads to discriminating against people who don't fit into the team culturally. But really, is that unfair? Isn't the goal of a software team to produce great software, not to be a force for fairness or justice or anything else?

If people with much in common work better together than do people with little in common (which I believe is likely to be true), and if the team works together, then isn't it better to hire people with much in common?
It is, but it's much easier to prevent these types of scams with cash. As much as people hate banks and such, things like chargebacks are also possible in more extreme situations. In Bitcoin, once your money is in their hands, you're toast.

I feel this problem is especially significant in San Francisco. Having lived in several other cities, I can say that, at least for me, this was never a major issue before living in SF. Meeting other programmers and people in tech out in the real world used to be a pleasant surprise. Now it's just a given.

Coffee shops, climbing gyms, museum nights, hiking meet ups, hanging out in the park, etc etc... I, like apparently every other person in tech, enjoy these things. I do miss the diversity of thoughts and lifestyles to be found in other cities. Not that SF doesn't have such diversity, it's just that I never before had to make an effort to find it outside my normal activities.
It's not only reasonable but very crucial for you to ask the total number of outstanding shares. I have made it a point to ask every company this question and have gotten an answer out of them. Also, and this is me, I don't trust a word recruiters say. Not a single word. Ask to talk to the VP (or if possible CEO directly) if the recruiter is being cagey about it.
