Policy number 1: Never hire HR people or create an HR department.

Policy number 2: The core team is everything. Anyone else is just there to help out.

I'm probably an extremist. So take my comment as more of a personal opinion. But be very very careful with HR departments in a tech company. Most of us hate them. Most of us think they are useless. And most of us hate interacting with HR during job interviews or even during day to day activity. Yes, you need people that manage personnel bureaucracy. But they should act as an invisible helping hand. Not as an intermediary between employees and the leadership.

And more importantly, avoid including HR in hiring decisions. Because they are biased, just like everybody else. They are going to pick people that they like. Not people you and your team like. Plus, they usually have no idea what the job is about. So all they do is make uninformed assumptions.

Sure, they can sit in on the talks and give you opinions about personality and whatever. But never ever be included in the decision chain. Hiring decisions should be made by the CEO/CTO and the affected team. Otherwise you're just going to get heartless boring relationships between random people that are just waiting to find a better job.
Upon reading what impostor syndrome is, I had the weirdest feeling.

I don't have this problem with your advice specifically, but with this type of advice on the internet in general. Everyone tells people what they should do, but there is no how they should do it. (I've had the same problem with the limited books I've read, and haven't gotten much advice from people.)
CTO of Workshape.io here. My co-founder Hung was painting a rather extreme picture, but the picture he does paint is a reasonable portrayal of a possible reality.

Not all CTOs are good at hiring/writing an effective job description (what is an effective job description?). And it does stand to reason, like with many other things, that people use other job descriptions as inspiration.
I disagree. I think that statement makes far more sense if it means the WHOIS records than it does if they mean the physical server.

The key words are "registered to", which means nobody was able to trace the actual traffic to the home. Not that that would necessarily be easy, but in absence of that I think it's far more likely that she's not administering running mail servers from her home.
The "everything's terrible!" tone of your comment is one of the major problems and main contributors to the partisan divide. It would be harder to get people riled up for their pet party if more people were aware that, hey, things are going pretty well! It would make the things that aren't going as well easier to identify and work on.
I'm having trouble getting my head around the pricing. 1x for one task, 2x for unlimited. Can you expound a bit?

Specifically, what do you mean by unlimited? Could I schedule you every day for a 30 minute consultation?

Also, I'm one shop but we have several properties. Correct to assume I need an account for each one? (roughly 4 accounts)

Very interested!

Edit: I see now that you have one business day turnaround, and allow one order in the queue. Each task is about ~30 minutes, so effectively up to 10 hours of marketing consultation a month for $175. That's very compelling! Cool!
Jesus. What would the 'correct' MIO production code look like without unwraps? Or is that a PhD research project, 'correctly' implementing this page of code for 'production'?
But this about creating the job description, not reading CVs. There are already lots of apps designed to parse CVs and sort them based on keyword relevance.

I didn't really see the point of this tool. From what I can tell, you put in a bunch of metrics and the app tells you what the job title and description are. Surely if you're creating a position in your company, you must know what it's for?

I'm interested in knowing if Source 2 will only be targeting PC and Steam Machines, or if Valve has plans for Xbox/PlayStation/Wii and iOS/Android/Windows Phone.
I'm sure they are. A dig on the current domain returns "clintonemail.com.inbound10.mxlogic.net." as one of the mail records, which has 4 A records, each which point to servers registered in Englewood, CO.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

1. Interesting, we don't usually get that, and maintain a fairly detailed pricing page + FAQ (https://www.paddle.com/pricing) perhaps we should link to this from the homepage.

2. I don't agree that we're trying to compete with PayPal on price. Paddle is intended to be a premium product (and thus we charge a premium over PayPal for example). Paddle handles: VAT/ Tax collection + remittance, digital product delivery and all order-related customer support for you (plus a bunch of other features and tools). We don't aim to compete with PayPal, however there is a crossover in our services. In terms of the pricing aspect, we're flexible/ open to different pricing scenarios. While a $1,000 transaction size is certainly uncommon, I do agree that this requires a little more thought on the pricing front.

3. On the checkout side of things, I find that incredibly surprising! :) We're typically told how beautiful our checkout process is (and it typically converts 2-3x higher than a usual checkout page). Could you ping over a purchase form that you're looking at? (or email me: christian@paddle.com) as I'd love to get a slightly more detailed critique.

Feedback can only make us better.
How are those projects using Go? Web apps?
No, haven't really watched Star Trek except one movie. But I'll take a look at this episode, thanks :)
Where is the pricing? Is there a demo? Am I supposed to share my details and create an account based on screenshots and hope that I can pay "some price" or live with "some restrictions" after signing up? Also, why would a static site stutter when I scroll?
This tech is what many of us have expected to become the "norm," but I still think most of us would prefer having our own toys under our own beds.

That being said, if they have nailed this, I see an acquisition in the very near future. This could be an incredibly profitable concept.
I agree that 5% to the engine developer is a wonderful deal - however, having a working game engine in no way means 90% of the work is done. That's when the really difficult work begins.

Video games need to trigger an emotional response in order to be successful. From visual design, to audio design, game rules/logic, controls, testing, marketing...this list goes on. It's far more than raw tech resources; psychology is a huge factor in game development.
Bethesda once claimed that third parties distributing through them would have access to Id Tech, but now it appears they're now fully vertical, and no longer publishing outside of their own studios.
Three things. First, it's too small so it doesn't fit all the dishes from one day. It also doesn't fit big pots and pans.

Second, it doesn't scrub. Dishwashers spray and swish soapy water, but don't physically touch the dishes (since they'd break them). The consequence of this is that you have to pre-rinse everything by hand with a sponge or risk dried on food residue which is nearly impossible to remove after it's been through the high temp trying cycle. Oatmeal stuck to a bowl will not come off in the dishwasher. Neither will steak or ground beef off a frying pan (even a teflon coated one).

Third, it takes too long. My dishwasher task 90-120 minutes depending on settings I choose. Now, there are commercial dishwashers that do a load in 30-90 seconds (15 minutes to load/unload). But they cost about $4k used, and I don't know if they have the problem with having to pre-rinse.

The solution I picture is basically a power drill with a circular sponge on the end, but smaller and waterproof. Additionally, something like the car wash mat cleaning machine could be used for flat plates: http://www.youtoo-carcare.com/media/images/category/reinigun.... An equivalent of a hair dryer could be used to dry them right away. Or this could be an enclosed rack with hot air blowers built in. Throw the dishes in there, press a button, 30 seconds later, it's dry.

With tools like these, I could do the hand-wash which is more labor intensive but much quicker than 90 minutes. I figure I could spend about 15-20 minutes on dishes and have them put away right away.
Half-Life 3?
The real idea is that you have an implicit model, specifically a normal distribution. The variance is one of the parameters of the normal distribution (the other being the mean).

A normal distribution is a good implicit model to choose - the central limit theorem and similar laws suggest that lots of other distributions will asymptotically approach it. But it's not always the right choice - e.g., it's a disaster when you have power law tails, or low frequency high amplitude noise.
Not only IT professionals.

My family knew a young man who did contracting work on a small town. Very hard working. They took him, and no one has heard about him ever since. The rumor is that they use them to build the facilities they need. He left a young wife with small children. Really tragic.
It seems weird that people (or maybe media) act like they want honesty, but if someone were to say "I messed up that time" that seems like a pretty big headline.

The reason I make a living from marketing consulting is _not_ because marketing advice is hard to come by, but because it's difficult to separate the good advice (0.01%) from the crap advice (99.99%).

If you actually do deliver "some of the best marketing consulting in the world," then where are the examples, case studies, influential articles, and testimonials?

Forgive me for being skeptical but a lowball price with vague promises doesn't instill confidence.

What CPS is asking is that the parents prove a negative. The burden of proof should be on CPS to make a claim and offer evidence. What are the parents supposed to say? "And on the thirtieth of November, we spent an hour not neglecting our children"?

If not enough evidence exists to determine that neglect was happening, then these parents should not have CPS retaining a file on their "unsubstantiated" neglect for the next 5 years.
Honestly I don't think the haters are capable of exercising restraint when it comes to attacking Clinton.

The CryEngine version sold on steam is £7/$10 per month (slightly less if you buy a longer subscription), and apparently has no additional royalties if you commercialise your project.
That seems very reasonable from the outside for any seriously interested parties, potentially just reduces support queries from casual users.

The free SDK apparently had a 20% royalties clause at the point of commercialisation, so this deal sounds much better.

8 Steps for Entrepreneurs to Avoid the Ego Trap
Incredible. Well done to you!
They stress you to the point of maximal exertion. This will favor fit people for a couple of reasons.

1. The fitter you are the more experience you have working through the pain of maximal exertion and the closer you can get to your true max

2. The fitter you are the better shape your heart is in and the easier it is to break your age estimated max heart rate

When I was 25 I rode competitively for my university in grad school. Max heart rate prediction is 220 - age so my theoretical max was 195 but I routinely saw numbers above 200 and occasionally above 205 and a few times over 210.

Further the metabolic equivalent is what really does the correction. If your heart rate hit max at a brisk walk you don't get very many bonus points; if it hits max at a run you get a lot of bonus points (past your heart rate) and your score goes up considerably.

Interesting idea, but there are a few flaws in the execution.

1. I use an iPhone 5c and at that resolution, I only see 90% of your logo - it cuts off after "Marketers on Dema". If you front page Hacker News in the morning, you will see mobile traffic from people during their commutes. Not catching that during QA and recognizing it as a marketing problem is a concern.

2. You write "Marketers on Demand empowers business owners to build their business without worrying if their marketing is on track." In my opinion, that's pretty bad marketing advice - the kinds of business owners and entrepreneurs who use HN need to have a handle on whether their marketing is working or not.

3. You say "Ideally a request is about 30 minutes of work." How is anyone who is unsophisticated enough to use your service supposed to gauge that? How will that uncertainty tank your conversions? And, not to be rude, but in light of my first and second points, do you think charging $178 an hour provides good value?
Simple solution suggestion: if you use your private account for government business it converts into a government account. If you don't want that to happen don't use it that way.

This is actually VERY IMPORTANT knowledge. Knowing how much your body can take and knowing how to fall in a way that increases how much your body can take could mean the difference between life and death in many situations.

As the Grim Reaper said when asked about giving a sword to a kid who could cut themselves: "That will be an important lesson."
New game announcements typically don't come at GDC. PAX is around the corner though.
I didn't mean to imply "everything's terrible." However, if/when it becomes terrible, and if we are still evenly divided, we'll not have the power to make a positive change.

I've never been one to say, "I'm only voting for this particular party." I simply don't understand that mentality. It makes zero sense to me.

Edit: As my original post indicated, I believe we are on a downward slope towards things becoming terrible. Just not there yet.

>Use your personal email to communicate with your babysitter, and your official work email only for work stuff.

One problem with that. I have an official work (.edu) email that is practically useless. Constantly full of spam, both from outside, and from clueless employees. Domain gets blocked from sending to popular domains occasionally for mass spamming. Can't accept attachments (or rarely accepts them). High and unpredictable inbox latency. Goofy, insecure, obsolete pa55woRD! rules. etc. The .gov email addresses I have had from past jobs weren't always much better.

So I have an official work email, an unofficial work gmail, and a private email account for personal business.

But the larger point is that Clinton should have had some procedure to regularly archive her work-related comms (no matter what the method was).

I had you analyze the monster 37 page lease I just signed for a new apartment. It looked mostly boilerplate to me with several addendums attached. I'm not sure your engine was able to process the PDF, it just sort of spit back a page of "issues" that were garbled text and weird characters. I can't seem to get back to the page I was on now either.
Probably a combination of scheduling issue + normal process. I got the impression they subject candidates to much more vetting than normal, but it was also not uncommon for a week or more to go by between interviews.
Trying not to be hyperbolic since some people apparently didnt like my earlier comments, but it doesnt take that long to read most contracts unless they are purposefully misleading.

Most EULAs have very little original content and dont require deep analysis.

Considering those 2-3 things you signed up for or agreed to meant, even insignificantly, that you have given away something of your rights, I think it absolutely behooves anyone to spend the time to decide if those random websites are worth it if they make you agree to a EULA that is pages and pages long.

The point about terms may change without prior notice is fair, I still struggle to regularly read the various changes to the TOS for things as simple as my credit card (which have way WAY shittier contracts to read compared to a EULA).
Wile I have seen some services which could provide a diff and notify you on changes, I have decided it is better to not use abusive services instead of play a game of cat and mouse with them.
So it's snapchat with slightly longer-lived messages and it rings your phone like a call...

Seems to me like it contains the worst aspects of calling and auto-destroying messages. My favorite parts of SMS are Async-non-intrusive messaging that I can refer back to as a "paper trail" of sorts (What was that address again? When did they want to meet? What was their friends name again?).

I've got to side with akfanta here, if not for the "Made at MIT" tag would this have received any attention?

Congrats on shipping but I'm confused as to why this is such a superior form of communication (as your launch page does little to explain). Lastly "Never miss a text again" is misleading it's more of "Never text someone who will not respond again" this app does nothing to improve SMS nor does it help you not miss a text. The same could be accomplished by calling your friend to say "I would like to start an SMS conversation with you" which, I think we can all agree, is ridiculous.
I get this on my personal Google account, but our work Google Apps account doesn't show the change. I'd guess it's rolling out gradually, presumably with GA work customers getting it last.
The two biggest competitors to Byte Buddy today are javassist and cglib. Both of them work quite differently:

javassist takes strings containing Java code and compiles these strings at runtime. This makes it simple to use as every Java developer knows Java. Unfortunately, the javassist compiler lags a lot behind the actual javac compiler. For example, it does not support generics or even auto-boxing, not to speak of lambda expressions. Also, Strings are not type-safe what makes javassist code quite error prone. (It is the equivalent of concenating SQL strings together, with all the risks like foreign code injection.)

cglib allows you to register callbacks for an overridden class, similar to the JDK proxies. However, this requires that all class loaders know about cglib if they want to know these cglib-proxies as cglib-specific types are hard-coded into any generated class. Also, cglib only allows subclassing but not the rewrital of existing classes. Furthermore, the callbacks require any arguments to be boxed and registeres these boxed values into arrays. It turns out that cglib is not quite Just-In-Time-compiler friendly.

Byte Buddy works with annotations or its type-safe DSL and realizes its instrumentation mostly based on delegating to user code. This way, you can implement interceptors in any JVM language and you avoid dependencies on Byte Buddy within the generated classes (annotations are fortunately ignored by JVM class loaders if they cannot be resolved at load-time). This makes for example for better exception stack traces than when using "string code". Also, Byte Buddy avoids boxing by creating smarter objects for the interceptors and only creates those interceptors that are requested by annotated arguments, using dependency injection.

ASM or BCEL are rather byte code parser than code generation libraries. You need to have a clear concept of how byte code works in order to use them. Also, those libraries allow you to create "unverified code", i.e. you have to do a lot manually. Byte Buddy is itself built on top of ASM, you can even plug ASM code into Byte Buddy if you need to.
