That's a ridiculous price point. It's an Apple electronic device, not a Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega, or Breitling. Apple watch is a sweet device, don't get me wrong, but it does not have the heritage and prestige of a Swiss crafted time piece.
If the 17-20k price point is accurate - wow. I guess Apple really wants to test the limits of how much cash they can extract for their top of the line products.

Apple is definitely a luxury brand, but it feels like an affordable luxury brand, rather than a conventional luxury brand. The 20k apple watch seems like a really strange move to me, will be interesting to see who buys it.

One advantage of a conventional 20k watch - it will be an heirloom for generations typically.

The apple watch will be upgraded in 2 years, and unsupported and obsolete after 5-6.

Ask HN: Recent graduate with no experience
Hello.

I received my MSc in Networking from a top UK university in October. Since then, I've been applying for Graduate Schemes as I have no relevant work experience. I've never had an internship either and all my work experience consists of summer jobs.

Now, my goal is not to get "any" job for money. I want to learn my field the best I can, and I learn best by watching and interacting.

My questions are:

1) Are there any companies that would let me intern with them, with little or no pay? And would it be worth it? How does one go about finding about small companies that aren't listed on, say, Milkround?

2) Would it be worth it to take a long time off and learn stuff online? I know we should always be learning something new and I am passionate about it, but I think I would be better motivated (and not depressed as I am right now) if I had an actual job involving computers.

3) What would you recommend?

Thanks!
The only reasonable explanation for me after years of slipping down the slope, and trying to rationalize and defend Google's actions such as :

0. Reading through all our email (We were so naive back then)

1. Google saying it would never link data from its other websites (Youtube, bloggr) with our Gmail id, and then going ahead and doing just that

2. Google announcing Android as Free, Open-source Operating System, then with each update removing functionality to Google Play Services,

3. Google sabotaging the permissions system, by clubbing innocuous, essential permissions with down-right dangerous/malicious ones

4. Creating amazing tech that could provide a quantum leap in the quality of life (for the first world at least) but will further enable Google's all-seeing eye to impinge over our daily life (Self-driving cars, Google Glass)

5. Acquiring home automation companies, robotics company with large defense contracts,

... is that Google is well on its way to becoming truly Evil.

People say that the NSA's unsaid motto is 'to collect it all'. I say that motto sum's up perfectly Google's vision.
It could definitely be a false positive. That said, that would be pretty strange behavior for a function called getColor(). I'd expect that to return a property value, not modify some state.
The VC industry as a whole was profitable from the late 1970s to 2001 or so. In the first dot-com crash, it tanked. It didn't come back to profitability by, at least, 2011. Too many companies were being VC-funded too far into their growth period, rather than going public.

Most VC funds have a 10-year life, so profitability data runs some years behind.

The difference between 1915 and 2015 is that we've improved the industrial scale machinery of killing to a point that it is too powerful. No two top 10 states can really fight each other, because nuclear exchange will ensue and the consequences of that are too unpredictable and high risk to engage in.

So we engage in proxy conflicts in the periphery and kill the hapless inhabitants there. There's no "battles", but lots of death... Mostly of people that are inconsequential to whomever is writing the history.

Btrfs calculator
http://carfax.org.uk/btrfs-usage/

Btrfs raid1 currently means "2 copies", even if you have 3+ devices. Btrfs is also capable of using different sized drives efficiently. Try creating a single volume raid5 with 3x 1TB and 3x 2TB. This is ~7TB usable (not including some space for fs metadata but does account for parity). Rebalance is not required when adding those 3x 2TB drives, they'll fairly immediately be put to use (the next time data chunks are allocated). And also no initial syncs when creating or adding drives.
It's very hard to do if the other side won't agree to sing campfire songs with us too. Especially if they'd rather violently impose Sharia through a worldwide caliphate, to use one contemporary example. Gotta pay the Dhimmi before we can forgive and flourish.

Yes, there are a lot of reasonable people on the other side of the line. But the leadership of those reasonable people can, depending on who you're talking about, be very, very unreasonable.

Good assessment - I can't imagine any credible startup founder saying their reason for failure was "we didn't get lucky", even though plenty of successful ones (but not all, as you observe) can point to moments or periods of good luck that helped them survive.

I continue to believe that luck is the meeting of preparation and opportunity - that doesn't guarantee you good luck or business success, but it sure beats building a business in a basement without talking to the market and hoping you get it right!

I know this is a problem with many programming languages, but why is there not a standard way to precisely represent decimal numbers? I understand the difficulty representing them in binary (well, kind of -- it's been a while since I read about it), but it seems like knowing this, a better solution would be found. Why is this accepted and standard behavior?

I live in China, and it's not uncommon for people to take their very young kids to the movies.

The biggest question that comes to my mind when reading this: What powers do these SCOPs _actually_ have? If an SCOP tried to arrest someone and they simply said "no" or otherwise resisted, can that person be charged with resisting arrest? Do the tickets they write carry the penalty of law? If you don't pay them, can a bench warrant be issued, etc.?

There's obviously value in supplementary security in certain places -- otherwise mall cops and other private patrols wouldn't exist. But a mall cop can't arrest you, and a private security patrol can write you a ticket but it's meaningless if you decide not to pay it.

Curious if anyone knows more about this...

EDIT: Did some digging. Looks like the state gives them the power of real cops. Amazing.

You should submit your resume to popular job sites and directly to companies. Skip the internships as you are way past that especially with a Masters degree (would have been ok if you were just starting college, but your have moved past that part now).

Since you have a Masters degree you are worth more out of the box now then before you started college. Since you had summer jobs that counts as work experience but it is concerning, you should be able to get a job as a network administrator if the work you did earning your degree was more practical than theory which it should have been. If not you might be in trouble if you do not know the basics to at least intermediate of setting up a network by yourself. If the latter is the case then you have some serious work to do. By now you should have earned a few certifications (CCNA, MCSE, etc.) to help supplement your academic course work, if not I would recommend getting these out of the way so when you do apply for jobs the employers can take you more seriously as you would have a standardized knowledge base but no long term work experience.

Something else you should also have is a home test rack setup if you had a degree of any kind in networking, which would be the same for someone that took computer science, engineering, software development, etc. all students that normally excelled and were serious about their work had something at home physically or virtually to hone their skills. If this is the case with you then you should have some serious fun at interviews when it comes to the whiteboard questions as you have been through the network setups thousands of times by now and they should be very easy for you by now since you should have mastered it by now.

I would also recommend applying for jobs as big companies like Amazon, Facebook, HP, etc. along with government contractors in your area. As some of the government contractors have the funds to bring you on and train you up in your weak areas all while paying you a very nice salary.

Also no need to take time off, you can work on learning new things when you get home from work
H1B – the super secret weapon
Just to show how different people are, my experience was the opposite. My parents never censored anything (within reason), but reading let my imagination fill in the blanks to a more disturbing level than movies could offer. Even stories from pretty silly books like "Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark" would leave me freaked out for days, and then of course I would go back and read them again like an idiot. Audio tapes by Jackie Torrence, a great storyteller, would also get me good. Meanwhile I could watch all the classic horror movies, Freddy, et al. without as much issue...still scary as hell but in a more superficial, short-term way. It also could have something to do with the fact that I watched movies with other people, whereas reading/listening I was usually alone in my bed at night.

You have a point about terrorist beheadings though...can't watch them. I guess cause I know it's real life and the empathy is too much.

Perhaps there is some semantic analysis involved (I don't know what tool they're using), but I have to imagine that getColor() is defined along the lines:

Otherwise that warning would often be at risk of emitting FP's, to the point at which it would become far less useful. Of course, even then...

T getColor() {

> Words are important and taken on face value people may extrapolate that it's the government type, democracy, that will bring better education. When in my opinion it's a cooperative environment, peer review, meaningful engagement and a sense of ownership.

The problem here, I think, is that the notion of democracy is largely misunderstood. Many people are afraid of the term because it's been abused so badly.

Your description of a "cooperative" isn't any different from a democracy. So the issue isn't which word is better. It's whether you want to improve all of society or just schools.

> Edit: For me a democratic schooling would be voting for the teacher you would like to have; which will be the popularity contest most such competitions devolve to.

I think that's a massive conflation of "democracy" with "election". There's a school near where I live where the teachers pitch classes and the students vote on which ones are offered for the quarter (might have the interval wrong). This is democratic to me.
Well said. It's also worth noting that psycho-social treatments have been studied extensively (e.g. PACE trial) with poor results.

While I'm happy for people here who have resolved whatever underlying psychological and/or emotional issues that were causing them problematic fatigue, the experience of many CFS/ME patients suffering post-exertional malaise is generally much more specific in the type of fatigue suffered, and much broader in the range of symptoms experienced.

One example of cutting edge CFS/ME treatment research focuses on the use of rituximab, which has been pioneered by Norwegian oncologists who discovered its effectiveness accidentally, and are now pursuing a phase three trial after successful smaller trials. There are a variety of other approaches being explored too (e.g. Pridgen & anti-virals with anti-inflammatories, Montoya at Stanford, and so on).

The work on rituximab, and other research (e.g. this POTS research on autoimmunity: http://www.dysautonomiainternational.org/blog/wordpress/new-...) suggests autoimmunity, but much more research needs to be done.

A serious disease needs serious research, and serious research requires serious funding. Psycho-social theories do a disservice to those suffering from a very real, very debilitating illness, and the sooner these distractions can be dispensed with, the better.

I guess I wasn't necessary referring to solving the problem of non-terminating numbers, but more things like 0.1 * 0.2 = 0.020000000000000004 in Javascript, or the very first bug listed on the linked page.

Perhaps what you intend with that statement is that issues like that of 1/3 are a cause for these sorts of issues, but interestingly (at least in JS), 1/3 is terminating, and results in an "expected" value.
The difference between psychosomatic and organic is the etiology of the illness -- whether it is mainly caused/perpetuated by stress/emotions or similar.

Certainly, it's possible for the brain and body to influence each other. Any severe infection will induce "sickness behaviour" for example, causing symptoms like fatigue and depression -- very similar to CFS in fact. However there is quite significant evidence that is caused by a dysregulation of the stress system, and not really much if any evidence showing an infectious etiology. Pretty much all the pathophysiology is consistent with a stress related illness, including this interferon-gamma biomarker.

2) no.

3) Get almost any job remotely related to computers and grow from there. My first job after university was as a temp doing data entry. It paid minimum wage (US). But I met a guy there that gave me a rec. for my next job doing programming. At my next job if I'd wanted I could have gone into networking.

In 1 year it's possible to go from taking almost "any" job to the job you want.

Does it suck that you can't immediately get a job in your field? Yes!!

I went on many interviews and got turned by every one due to lack of experience. It wasn't until I decided to take any job remotely computer oriented that I had success.
It's not.

One of the top reforms I'd like to give to schools is to provide "student senates" and the like with actual, meaningful sums of money somehow so that they can legitimately practice governance. Playing token figurehead really doesn't teach them anything I want them to learn.

I say this as someone who ended up being friends with a lot of these people throughout my life. While in community college, the senate actively pursued agendas, it would be more accurate to describe them as a students' union than a senate. Valuable, but still not actually a senate of any kind.

Most of these friends who were in these positions? They were doing it because it would look good on the resume. Oh, that wasn't the only reason, and they were all good people whose character and intentions I'd vouch for. But still. And this, frighteningly, is the strongest similarity to adult politics: public office as stepping stone to industry status.
Yes, unfortunately that's correct. We're going to work to make this situation better, but for now we require eligibility to work in the US and can only support visas from citizens of Canada, Mexico and Australia right now.

It is not, not in the infantry at least, where brain wa... er - psychological conditioning is the strongest. For example: just days after my battalion got back from a fairly taxing deployment, the company commander informed us at morning formation that an artillery battalion was preparing to deploy to the area of operations we just got back from. It was part of some pilot program, where they give non-infantry Marines a couple of months of infantry training and then deploy them as if they were infantry... it was a horrible idea that would lead to a lot of dead Marines - and everybody at that formation knew it. The company commander asked for volunteers, a cadre that would lead in training for a month and then deploy with them into combat as fireteam, squad and platoon leaders. About a quarter of the company volunteered, myself included, which was more than the CO was willing to part with - so he limited the pool to Corporals.

None of us wanted to go back, we knew that the odds were much worse throwing in with these guys, but we knew that they needed us. If that isn't loyalty, then I don't know what is. The Marine Corps put a lot of effort into building that sort of emotional connection, and it works.
