>The article mentions USB attacks/exploits

I'm not sure that it does. The countermeasures mentioned are for protecting against good old file-based executable exploits. I don't think they even understand the concept of firmware exploits.

Multiple countries is the primary reason that corporate income tax doesn't work. International corporations just report profits in the countries with the lowest taxes. Corporate profit doesn't have any physical existence, it's just numbers in a spreadsheet, you can trivially move it to any country you like.

The only way to tax an international entity is to tax them on the things that actually exist in your country: Customers, employees, property, etc. But that's not corporate income tax anymore, it's sales tax, personal income tax, property tax, etc. The closest thing you can get to corporate income tax that actually works is VAT.

I agree with you, but we can't de-incentivize high education without de-coupling educational certification with age-based grade advancement.

Everyone knows that 80-years-ago you could get a 'good' job with only a high school education, while you now need some level of higher-education. This isn't because young people are (necessarily) gaining important life/job-related skills during these four years after high school. It is social signaling, or - if you like - credentials inflation. The thinking is: if you can make it through a bachelor's degree then you must be reasonably intelligent to do entry-level work. This says nothing about the actual need for higher education.

By de-coupling educational attainment from age offers the opportunity to advance young people through stages of education based on their skills, not merely their age. In doing so, graduating from high school becomes a standard moment for progress benchmarking. Some students will show significant ability, others won't. Advanced students will go on to do advanced work and lower skilled students won't be penalized (as they currently are) with having their high school diploma withheld from them (a significant employment problem for many low-skilled workers).

It allows businesses to look at high school graduates and assess whether or not their skills are adequate for the current opening rather than merely assuming that a bachelor's degree is necessary to do the work. In this way, we incentivize trying to advance quickly through high school while also de-incentivizing the default choice of a four-year degree.
If you want to do things in JavaScript and want to have your users avoid the version problem, the thing to do would be to provide an installer which pins versions of the various libraries (ostensibly through NPM) and/or to just distribute the package as a whole with the various libraries in place.

This can be automated. If you'd like, ping me at stonecypher at gmail dot com, and I'll share the system I use, and show you how to work with it.

In my community college, a full tenured community college instructor is a professor.
Possibly that you have to pay for them, and typically don't get any time with the instructor. Also, many MOOC's just move the lecture online - this doesn't help with retention. You need interactivity.

That was my goal with: http://www.devfactor.io/ - to provide a better learning environment for free. Once the app launches, I'm hoping the additional interactivity will make it much better for retention.
I don't understand why people on here seem to believe startups are just a bunch of programmers in a room somewhere. They are a business, and sales is of utmost importance in business. You want to be as close as possible to your current and potential clients.
An appeal to emotion is not out of place here. This is not a simple matter of "logical justification", there's no logical axiomatic framework that deals well with ethics. So appeal to purely "logical" justification is out of place here, sadly, not comically though.
I'm not trying to argue in favor of the Volt. The comment I initially responded to spoke about long range. I chose the Volt for comparison because it satisfies that requirement. In the comment you replied to, I was pointing out that the Leaf does not satisfy the requirement.
fizzbuzz can be modified to remove knowledge of the modulus operator. "write a function that loops through an array and prints 'fizz' if it equals the parameter 'a', 'buzz' if it is -a, otherwise print the value of the element". Or something like that. This tests writing a function declaration, passing values in as parameters, iterating over an array, writing an if statement, and printing. That seems pretty basic and fair to me.

This is a filing under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_33.

I'm not sure about the exact contours of "new evidence" but you're right that if all the evidence was available before trial that'll weigh against him. But as you can see from the wording of the rule, there's enough discretion invested in the trial judge there that it's certainly worth a shot.

Not sure if I should. Apple may not like us developers sharing this sort of behind the scenes sort of information.
We were planning to release a new version that's been in development several months soon. Would hate to mess up its chances.
This is very frustrating. Mostly because we have just no information at all from Apple.
This happened to me. I said I'd only interview if the offer would be at least a certain amount. After going through the process, the offer was $15k lower than the recruiter had promised.

But side projects don't have to be profitable to bring you profit.

Let me explain, right now I'm running tutorial series on Rails & Game Dev: http://www.devfactor.io/

I make almost nothing off of the series, and don't expect to make anything in the future.

This is my second big project, the last one being an open source social network with some cool data vis integration. I didn't make anything off of that, in fact I scrapped it once it wasn't popular.

But it got me a job in the big data space. My employer was so impressed by my ability to integrate data vis (D3) into a big app, I got the job on the spot.

So I inadvertently benefited financially from my side project, even though I didn't actually make any money off of it.
We have some measures to stop this. First, recruiter will have limited number of "pings" so he cannot start spamming.

Also, your identity is not revealed until you approve an employer.

And, when contacting you the recruiter is agreeing on the demanded salary atleast (see sample profile).

We hope these measures will reduce the spam in the network.

You are confusing an appeal with a motion for a new trial

I must have worded it poorly because you are confusing two different points that I made. The first point was:

Most attorneys find it is more effective to present evidence during a trial than after their client has been convicted.

Hopefully you don't find fault with that statement.

The second point I was making was in response to rayiner stating that arguments can be waived on appeal if not made in a post-trial motion. That is not directly applicable here because the argument in the post-trial motion is based on supposedly new evidence which is not applicable to an appeal.

Regardless, their client would have had a better chance if they made the argument in trial than in a post-trial motion.

A Rare Look into the Imprecise World of Art Identification
That's exactly what my previous company tried to do with their development team.

It caused the dev team to implode (everybody but one person on the 8-man team left within a year). The systems' stability and overall architecture was utterly terrible, servers would fall over because they would log so many things that they'd run out of disk space ("what's logrotate?" "What's a slave database?"), no metrics, no definition of success for a service, etc.

I suppose you could pull this "DevOps" thing off if you really wanted to, but you have to hire folks who can program and actually like sysadmin work. Otherwise you end up hiring developers to do everything, who are terrible at sysadmin work, and who get burnt out because they never get to actually program.
You should increase the salary on the sample to something more realistic. How about... makes $125 wants $150k?
> For the past 5 years, my experiences with Java EE has been everything but "heavyweight". I consider it a rapid application development environment. Especially now that nobody does any server-side view frameworks anymore (it's all ECMAScript in the browser).

Do you have any recommended reading for that? Every time I try to get started with Java EE I am plagued with outdated material and pages upon pages of boilerplate XML configuration.
^Yes that's exactly what we are planning to do to make sure that developers only get genuine offers.
That's a good article! But I'm kind of confused why you linked it, when it so closely supports the position you've been arguing against?

As your link makes clear, most states, the federal government, the legal community, and popular opinion has moved away from force based definitions as archaic and offensive. Which was, of course, my point.

I mean, it's literally an article about one iconoclasts weird and much criticized view that maybe rape shouldn't be defined as sex without consent. Even if you agree with him, the existence of the article proves that it's a fringe position, right? (And much of the article is actually just Rubenfeld saying he actually agrees with is critics, and disagrees with the historical requirement to show force, so...)

Monads are a fairly common mathematical abstraction. You might as well say "Using addition is a sign of bad programming." You use monads all the time. You probably just don't call them that.
They were fortunate to have the funds for a guard. Most digs don't have that money so security through obscurity is the best alternative. It's a common problem in the American southwest where, if news of a new site gets out, pot hunters can come in, strip, and destroy a site over-night.
I think I've answered it, but I'll answer again. If the victim calls it rape, I am not going to argue with her, because there are much more important things to discuss than legal definitions. I am not part of the legal bureaucracy, I don't know the law, and besides, the laws are different in different places. When a victim says she was raped she doesn't use the word to match the penal code of whatever jurisdiction she's in, but to describe her experience. As I am not a lawyer, and not discussing legal proceedings, I will use whatever name the victim uses, because, at least for the time being, that's the only name that can be used.

What I think is terrible, though, is that when a fellow worker in my industry describes a horrible experience, some people's first response is to discuss the precise legal definition of said horrible experience. It does not surprise me, though, as "everybody's a lawyer" is a very common sexist response to such events. You'll notice that stories by men are not met with the same discourse.

In any case, the very first thing for someone wishing to learn how sexism and racism work, is by reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(social_and_political)

Whoa... Stay classy, Oracle.
Good question. Intuitively, having inline styles over style sheets goes against common patterns involving maintainability of large code bases, ditching mixins, variables, and other helpful functions that preprocessors like Sass provide you with.

The idea is that you gain extra maintainability points by co-locating your styling with your logic and DOM, a pervasive design patter in React in general. If I want to style a particular view, I no longer have to concern myself with which stylesheets contain styling for that view. I can simply go to the React Component where that view is owned, and see the styling for it right there.

Come on, I live in Manhattan, this place is so incredibly stagnant and uninteresting these days. And don't talk about Brooklyn, it's full of vanilla transplants from the suburbs of middle America like myself.

Culture is people living their lives, pursuing interests and hobbies, being happy (not always), working, raising families. This is culture to me ... New York is just: either work all the time, talk about work, or be in poverty, talk about New York, be angry about New York, talk about leaving New York, talk about your rent.

And I can't even see any of the "mass produced" culture because the prices are absurd and the things sell out in minutes anyways.

This is one of the best examples of someone taking the Hacker News beating of a lifetime and turning it into something great.

I have to say that original site was nothing but confusing. After reading the entire thing I had no idea what was going on or what I was looking at, I could barely tell it was a product I could use.

This new page is easy to understand, I get everything I need at a glance without even scrolling. Really well done.

The product itself still strikes me as having a naming problem. The name feels dated, and most people don't want to learn the new terminology. But it does seem like a great tool.

Your assumptions are false.

It is actually more profitable for me if I say that these algorithm tests are BS and completely study-able, and even the worst engineer can pass them. That easily translates into "here! buy my book and even YOU can get a job at Google!"

It's actually a much harder sell when, really, it's more like studying helps someone perform better, but only to an extent.

Oh, and the acquirers encourage studying and prep, just as most of the top tech companies do for their normal dev (and non-dev) candidates.

To be clear: my experience is that the algorithm interviews, when done properly, work reasonably well to identify intelligence/problem solving and coding skills. Those are more important at some places than others. They can work well for certain places -- but not at all. I do not think that all companies should use this process. It's not right for all places, but it's reasonably good for some.

As for Google being proof of the value of algorithm test: I think you're pulling that from a twitter conversation very much out of context.

Context: Some people were arguing that the algorithm interviews offer zero value - that you'd be at least as well off, if not better off, hiring at random.

If they truly believe that (and they appeared to be sticking to this argument), then it's absolutely relevant that not just Google, but basically all the top tech companies, use this hiring process. Could a randomly selected group of engineers build the technology at companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc? I suppose that's what they must believe, and I find that pretty absurd.

If they had argued that these interviews sort of work, but aren't nearly as good as some other interview processes, then you're right that the company about Google and other companies wouldn't be relevant. And I also wouldn't have brought it up.
The problem is that it does completely the opposite. As long as the money is held offshore it isn't taxed. If the company itself spends it then it becomes a deductible expense. The only way it gets taxed is if they return it to the shareholders. Which you would think the shareholders would want, if not for the fact that the cash held by the corporation is an asset which adds that amount to the stock price, which allows the shareholder to extract as much or as little as they like by selling shares. Which itself has more favorable tax treatment than receiving a dividend. The whole system is set up to encourage international corporations to hoard money in offshore accounts.

This is an odd criticism. It's the essence of DRY applied to a context with very limited space (the physical surface of the card). Would you really prefer to have something like this written out in 2pt font?
