You can go the other way and say that everything we do is a cascading result of chemical and physical reactions and thus we do not act with "intention" either. It's all a matter of perspective.
You can't treat a self-signed HTTPS cert as equivalent, because it has "https" in the URL, which people use to distinguish a safe connection from an unsafe one.
I should mention that I and other hiring managers I've talked with are moving away from posting on the "Who is hiring?" post.

It was pretty useful ~6 months ago. But, the amount of spam generated from recruiting and sourcing firms, various startups trying to push their revolutionary new online coding tools, etc. is pretty ridiculous and many of them, especially the SV-area startups, have been quite aggressive (e.g., phone calls and switching to my personal e-mail address after I told them I was not interested).

Posting jobs on twitter has been a far more effective sourcing tool than HN "Who is hiring" has become recently, at least in the free space.
>Although terrible for the affected, in the US the unemployment right now is 5%...

U3 is a fanciful number, both because people are using disability insurance as a way to collect benefits indefinitely and because once you give up looking for a job you don't count as unemployed. The US has the lowest labor force participation rate in decades.
My thoughts go in the same direction. But in my opinion gamification is more problematic than you described it. There are just too many tasks we have to do regardless of getting rewarded or not.

The other problem is, the more we gamify our world, the higher the reward must be to keep us happy or challenged.
Then "offline" activities like meeting friends are not exiting and rewarding any more.

I agree and disagree. I'm a reasonably savvy investor, this stuff isn't really an issue for me.

But most people aren't, and there is no evidence that they magically become good disciplined investors in the foreseeable future. The point is the employees in general are poor at investing and planning, and the 401k lowers the resistance level and gets people to invest. A poorly structured plan isn't an issue for you and me, but it for many (I would argue the majority) workers.

Everpix and the Series-A Burn-Rate Crunch
I often hear that bit about Thai pride over never being colonized. It's laughable in light of actual Thai history. Like the events of 1893 when the French sailed two gunboats up the Chao Phraya river, aimed their guns at the royal palace, and said we're taking everything east of the Mekhong River. The Thais gave it up without a fight. The French colonzied it and never gave it back. When they left it became what is now known as Laos.
I remember seeing that deal. Should have jumped on it then but forgot about it. Then I saw the book at an airport news stand and grabbed it...glad it got picked up by a publisher!

Local privilege escalation is always bad because it means you're one malware payload or RCE away from being rooted and conscripted into someone's botnet (or worse). This isn't just a physical access concern.
The writer of this article has a pretty faulty premise: it's all about the money. After close to a decade of working as an employee in startups, some that failed and some that succeeded, my view is that the last thing you want to do is join a startup for the money. You join (and more importantly, stay) because of the other benefits: the independence, the impact, and the camaraderie. Unless you're working on the next unicorn - and realistically, you're not - you're not going to come out with much cash. Google and Facebook are exceptions, not the rule.

I eventually left the startup space to see what the rest of the world is like, and I can tell you that the money is much better out here.

I'd also like a clear refutation of that book. I've only read two Rand books: Anthem and Capitalism. I loved Anthem in spite of its anti-government bullshit because of my libertarian side but my socialist side overrides all of it and that's where my criticism of her lies.

I'm sorry I can't offer anything with regard to Atlas since I haven't read it but it's clearly rooted in her ridiculous philosophy of capitalist moralism. It doesn't stand up to even the most elementary scrutiny and once you apply any of it to real life you find that society would collapse in less than a year.
There's an argument to be made that the purpose of trademark protection is to protect against confusion, not against criticism.

It's hard to imagine that many consumers would confuse a website called ford.sucks for the real actual Ford Motor Company. If it goes to litigation, I could see a U.S. federal judge deciding that the entire .sucks TLD is basically immune to the consumer confusion argument, with possibly a few exceptions for vacuum cleaner companies, sump pump manufacturers, and others who might "professionally suck."

Personally I think it's foolish to try to preemptively register every nasty domain name. It's a big language out there, and crowdsourcing seems to work really well when it comes to insults.

But, a lot of companies are super sensitive to criticism, and Vox Populi is obviously trying to profit off of that.
It's hard to keep a mentality from infecting everything.
This is why we can't have nice things.

How Much Do You Cost? (2014)
It does and I learned that the hard way. The legal process was the delay and I should have pushed it along faster.
I just wish I had a simple 4 or 5 inch device with a real foldable keyboard and just a bash shell. People might actually learn some linux with it, and I might just use it. GSM networking might be just enough, having 5s latency is not a problem if I can get a 10kb packet.

Instead I can buy a watch that have accelerated graphics with very fast internet.

Besides, I don't think my interrupt handler and API would be of that much interest (oOoooh, sexy, an API!)
Yes, but its a complete misrepresentation of what I'm talking about and a disingenuous argument.

Providing for the welfare of people is a separate topic that isn't "solved" by banning prostitution. It is solved by rational welfare policies that guarantee a basic level of subsistence that no one is forced to make that decision in the first place.

Otherwise, once again, you can replace "prostitution" with "any job people don't like".

I haven't lived in one place longer than two years since I was eight or so. It wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't grown up that way.
Primary source: https://comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/comptroller-stringer-bi...

The wording of both primary and secondary sources doesn't make the facts uncovered by the analysis particularly clear, IMO. Based on my reading, these are the facts:

* Managers of public investments (public stocks, bonds, etc) outperformed their benchmarks by at least $2.1 billion before fees, and charged at least $2 billion in fees. Fees were at least 95% of excess returns, but less than 100%.

* Managers of hedge funds, private equity funds, and real estate investments underperformed their benchmarks after fees by $2.6 billion. Amount of fees is not stated.
Homebrew was created to add the package manager experience of Linux to Mac OS X, so what gap does this fill?

Mac users already experience issues relating to having multiple non-default package managers (i.e. Homebrew and MacPorts) - what conflicts will having a default and non-default package manager arise?

The problem it is trying to solve would be better approached hosting Debian, RHEL etc repositories which mirror each other in their structure.
You cannot state that without saying how much is spent per passenger or per mile traveled and the marginal cost in lives of a dollar saved there.

A similar line of reasoning would be “In this developed country that I live in, no one dies from being poisoned by tap water. I oppose this massive overspend on making tap water potable! The resources used to reach this absolute would certainly save more lives per dollar elsewhere”.

How much would we save my making tap water less potable? What would be the consequences if we did?

Sometimes, absolute safety or near-absolute-safety is within reach and is the sweet spot for smart engineering.

No.

The prostitute is the only one who is actually suffering in this case. They are suffering because they sell their body for sex, but at a price which is forced onto them, or sometimes at no price at all (all the money going to the pimp in exchange for 'protection').
If you remove the pimps, the women who would consent in being a prostitute (ie. not forced by some pimp) could ask what they would think is fair and could provide for themselves (if they could not see any other option to make a living) making it completely 'out of free will'

There still is a legitimate cause for the existence of prostitutes, since some men are better off paying for sex to someone who is willing to make a living out of it, than to let some men run around all frustrated and horny (which is a major root cause of rape)
For some people that is their work.

It is an unfair comparison but not in the way you suggest. Sullenberger was going to have some sort of plane crash, he didn't have any good options, he was over Manhattan without the ability to reach a runway by glide and no engine power.

By contrast the Taipei flight has a perfectly good working engine and should have had no problem reaching a runway and landing with minor drama at worst.

There is no question that losing an engine in a twin prop plane on takeoff is among the more gnarly problems you can have but there is absolutely no reason the plane had to depart from controlled flight.

It is pilot error that caused the deaths of dozens of passengers, period. Without said error that plane would have been able to land at an airport and taxi back to a gate.

Microsoft Unveils New Container Technologies for the Next Generation Cloud
Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I just wish OS X moved forward instead of backwards.
When I got out of school 4 years ago, people were already making the same arguments. While Google isn't perfect, I can't imagine a place I'd rather work, where I can really dig into technical details of things while having freedom to set my agenda in many ways, very smart coworkers and predictably high compensation. I don't think any of those things have changed in 4 years.

Talking about top CS schools/going to Stanford is really irrelevant. I went to Carleton College, which has a nice little CS department but not really well-known, and got a liberal arts education. Because I did some open-source work and maybe because of some academic projects, I was able to get lots of interviews and offers, all in the same range as people are discussing today. All Stanford does at a company like Google is get your foot in the door--small, poorly run startups may hire on that basis, but that's it.

My one piece of advice for people who want to get into the tech industry: Choose one open-source project and contribute to it over a long period of time (ideally starting in high school, but never too late). The short time span of college courses and lack of large projects (a semester is not long) means that you can't really develop the skills that you need to be effective by that alone. Large, open-source projects give you real experience in structuring code to be maintainable, working with others and receiving feedback, and understanding and changing existing code that other people wrote. It might also get you some nice internal references.
We were set up for SEIS/EIS and had an accountant review every thing. They then drafted the advance assurance to send over to HMRC. Definitely worth it to get this done before you start fundraising.
But there is also very little evidence (and quite a bit of counter evidence) that abdicating the investing and planning of these things to pension fund managers works out.
I come at this the other way around. If there is a God that exists in reality, then that God is the relevant one. If there is no God that exists in reality, then none of them are relevant. Again, the driving question is what exists in reality, not philosophy.
I think you have some mistaken beliefs about the linked ancient sport, and modern MMA. The goal is a submission, that is, to put the other person into a position in which they have to submit, or they risk injury. So I find your "successfully broken another mans neck" question to be a non-sequitur. Breaking someone's neck is not a desired outcome, nor is it particularly likely.

I practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and have sparred a decent amount of MMA.

Nearly every incorporation law allows the corporation to have a specific purpose, rather than "any lawful activity". Incorporate for the purpose of providing food rations sufficient to prevent all malnutrition diseases to all shareholders. Then trade shares for labor which supports the food production.

If your company grows large enough, the people most worried about starvation can literally work for food, using industrial capital rather than subsistence tools.

That's probably as close as one person can get to "structuring civilization" without spending at least $10M on politics, lobbying, and capital investment.
There are many, but the one off the top of my head is "The Alchemist".

I have read it at least ten times (it only takes about two hours). It's something like meditation in a book for me, it allows me to reset my mind and gain perspective whenever I am overly stressed or anxious.

Edit: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
I'm glad it wasn't only me that was thinking "wasn't it leaded gas?" ... I would like to find the citation for this though before I repeat it at cocktail parties.
Is Romans 9:12-21 the right reference? I might not be looking into it enough, but it doesn't seem like "do what it says for a week" material. That being said, I wholeheartedly agree with your suggestion.
Trying to explain aircraft accidents is hampered because the sample size is so small (literally anecdotal they are so infrequent), so making "inferences" about general rules from this is really unlikely to work. However, the psychological and social utility of explaining disasters to create the illusion of control is something which works. Also the investigations by the FAA and other bodies create reforms which improve safety. It somehow makes it easier to deal with if tragedies can be "resolved" by understanding what caused them, I guess it's part of the way that communities deal with tragedy. The ancients explained it by inventing elemental gods. We explain it with "rigorous investigations". I suppose because we're wired to try to learn from things which are dangerous, because that might help us survive.

Also, as tragic and sad as the crash in Taipei is, the swerve of that little yellow car in the dashcam still, and imagining the occupants' reactions as a they swerved to avoid the plane that was crossing in front of them, is quite priceless.

Hey, this time I catched this early.

When running VirtualBox I see no big difference on battery drain, at least nothing that can't be attributed to extra workload.

I think that the last version of Parallels I used was 6, so I can't really talk about it, but again, my experience at the time was the same, the battery lasted more or less the same.

A link that someone else posted blamed the crappy windows drivers by Apple and it does make sense.

As for your other questions, I have 16GB of RAM, I've used windows 7 and 8 VMs with 2, 4 and 8GB in this laptop.

Now, you have to take into account that I don't usually use windows VMs as normal machines, I usually fire it up, do whatever I need to do and shut it down. Once said that, giving it more ram helped to some extent, but not much. For example, the difference from 2 to 4 was much more noticeable than from 4 to 8. I haven't tried with more memory and ended up leaving it at 4GB.

I kind of feel the need to point that I'm talking from memory with nothing like hard evidence or tests, so don't take this as an fact or anything like it :)

The most recent example I can think of was Inkscape. I suddenly needed to edit a svg, couldn't install Inkscape on OSX (I had a problem with XQuartz, a requirement) and the only suitable VM I had at hand was windows 7.

After firing it up and installing Inkscape there, I found that redrawing the screen took 10-15 seconds, every time I moved the svg around. After trying to work on it for a few minutes I found it so exasperating that I prefered to go back, fix the issue with XQuartz and use Inkscape in OSX.
You basically need VMs for every version of OS X you want to support, and need to keep copies of the old OS X SDKs since Apple seems not to test that newer ones will continue to work despite superficially supporting choosing a target version.

Most developers don't bother, as Apple has successfully made it quite difficult.
This is from the features page:
