Assuming all else is equal (which it certainly isn't, but let's just pretend), if you actually believe in your startup, you should do your startup.

Google Internship will give you a certain kind of experience... But nothing on Earth is like the experience of doing a startup.

Also having "Google Intern" in your resume isn't a Golden Ticket. So don't think of it like that.

I'm quite certain the people at Google have been reluctantly turned down before, so don't worry too much about that. Especially if you honestly tell them why, and that it's been an extremely hard decision for you.

This is just my opinion.
A subscription or something not based on attributed growth is really different. You can rely on YesGraph to have a positive ROI.

Right, but we didn't pretend like there wasn't something that brought you back down when you jumped until newton's work.
In my experience, having a stable girlfriend for the past 3 years has been like looking in a mirror every month or so.

She calls me out on things that I do habitually or without thinking, usually because they are selfish and hurt her or our relationship in some way. These are habits or personality traits that my close friends and family wouldn't be aware of, but that my girlfriend has exclusive access to as the one with whom I share the most intimate details of my life. She forces me to reflect on why I am the way that I am; sometimes directly when we fight, but often indirectly through her questions and observations.

I'd like to think that our relationship has made us more empathetic and introspective. I don't think it has made me any less extreme in my ideals though.

My personal view is that extremism is generally bred by a low standard of living and a high degree of economic inequality that is forced onto a united group of people that feel like they deserve more than the system has given them. The uniting factor could be race, religion, age - anything, it doesn't really matter.

I've recently been struggling with the notion that, as a 22-year old who is about to graduate, I am to enter an economy and a system set up and controlled entirely by the captains of finance and government who allowed the financial crisis of 2007 to occur, and who have been unable to "fix" the economy through monetary and fiscal reform. This has pushed me towards the study of Bitcoin, a "radical" tool that traditional economists are quick to dismiss as a libertarian/anarchist fantasy. I don't subscribe to any political viewpoint - I simply see a broken system that has destroyed the lives of many of the constituents that it was created to serve through corruption and negligence. Bitcoin is just another tool, such as Quantitative Easing and Interest rate manipulation, that we could possibly implement to reduce the volatility of the financial system and remove some of its susceptibility to greed and corruption.

My interest in Bitcoin nothing compared to ISIS, the PLO, the Black Panthers, or any other minority group that was oppressed and decided to try and change a system that it found unfair and stacked against it. The difference is that these "extremist" groups use violence to fight their battles, because they see the alternative life of dying poor and oppressed as a non-option.

If we were to advance every civilization to a point where the standard of living was high enough and the measure of inequality was low enough, I think we could eradicate most forms of physically violent extremism. Mental "extremism" in the form of thought-experiments pushing the boundaries of the current system would continue, but to the benefit of society in general. Will this ever happen? Probably not.

I really like this language, I've met Jose Valim and he's a super nice, super smart guy, as is Chris McCord. So I feel naturally motivated to promote it. Also, it's just lots of fun to work with!

Well in my case, as I said, I got tired of certain classes of Ruby bugs, and certain, shall we say, "uglinesses" which presented themselves, but only after (sigh) YEARS of working with Ruby. In a way that's an argument FOR Ruby! It will only start to look ugly years after you work with it. ;) More than can be said for MANY other languages!

So far I haven't seen too much "ugly" in Elixir (which is good, as it should be in the "beautiful bouncing baby" phase!). In fact, in some ways it's even more Rubylike than Ruby is, such as with being able to define your own sigils: http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/sigils.html And of course the macro facility is pretty much the ultimate definition of Ruby's oft-touted "metaprogramming." Chris McCord already has a book out on it, actually: http://smile.amazon.com/Metaprogramming-Elixir-Write-Less-Co...

More to the point, I hate this idea that Javascript and HTML can/should be used everywhere. Why? What about them is good? That they're easy? For who? N00bs?

I find writing apps for the browser to be incredibly obnoxious because of competing APIs, absolutely mysterious memory management, and a lack of standards. I started my programming life making my UIs with web technologies and I can say after having done native programming-- I never want to go back. It's actually easier (for me), and less buggy, to produce native applications that are networked.

I find the combination of CSS, HTML, and Javascript to be a disconnected burden. I find the plethora of competing frameworks all achieving the same thing to be a burden. Javascript is a alright language, I certainly don't hate it, but I just don't see any reason to use it when I have alternatives available...

Lastly, as others have pointed out this does nothing for helping you learn the APIs (which is the hard part). In the end, to understand the APIs you're going to have to learn some of the language anyway-- before you know it, you're just writing native code because it's easier.
Think about the historical relationship between white males and the black population.
Two issues.

First, the point could be: I'm curious if stable relationships with the gender they find attractive really do lead to less violence/crime by males?.

Second, there are significant differences in the brains of heterosexual and homosexual men (one of the points made by those saying it was not a choice). These could mean that the above point only applies to heterosexual men.
Well, everyone apparently works for free under the Roddenberry vision, so figure that one out. Presumably if corporations aren't controlling things like the Federation database, it would seem likely a significant portion of all real development is going straight to the government though, yeah.
More persons w/ only Masters but not PhDs should be used to teach the intro classes.

Although I was in EE at Stanford, I took a bunch of CS classes, and hands down Nick Parlante (an instructor, not a professor) was the best actual teacher that I had. CS108 and CS193i

Plus it is possibly that these persons actually make better teachers as opposed to quite a few professors, who are more preoccupied with research, tenure, grad students, etc.
I ran 1.4 in production at a 8,000+ QPS social network, have been on a team who submitted patches to Tarreau that are now in HAproxy, and very intentionally put Openresty behind it for HTTP after months of tweaking a very fragile HAproxy configuration with several applications hanging off our property's domain name. I also architected and built a LBaaS product at a well-known hosting provider using HAproxy. I didn't arrive at that conclusion by misreading the documentation and I stand by it. It's also not a knock of HAproxy, it's just a reflection that being intelligent about HTTP is not HAproxy's primary use case. It is awesome for TCP and I exclusively use HAproxy to balance TCP in a protocol-agnostic way.

First, doing anything intelligent with HTTP slaughters HAproxy's performance by an order of magnitude because of the way you must configure it. Second, sticking requests to a backend is easy if you have a header that you want to decide upon. If you want to elect a different backend based upon a path component, this is much harder and yields an unwieldy configuration.

HAproxy is not designed to operate extensively on HTTP. It is designed to balance quickly and efficiently, and grew HTTP intelligence because people started wanting the convenience of making HAproxy do far more than its core focus. Rather than HAproxy getting smarter about HTTP, I'd much rather have the protocols that service my applications handle themselves and use HAproxy for its bread and butter, TCP availability and balancing. I can then focus on optimizing that using HAproxy's really clever mechanisms, like keeping the entire TCP conversation in kernel memory without reading it out (which you must do to "be powerful," as you say). This also means if I want to support SPDY or HTTP/2 or Websockets, I'm not waiting for HAproxy to support them because I painted myself in a corner.

The stack I've deployed at the frontend of every startup I've ever consulted for or operated looks like this:

/- [haproxy AZ A] -- [openresty AZ A]
[ELB] -- [haproxy AZ B] -- [openresty AZ B]
\- [haproxy AZ C] -- [openresty AZ C]

This is my Standard Frontend Deployment A. My other Standard Frontend Deployment, B, is if I have the budget and comprises Netscalers because of my experience with them from Google and other companies. Startup/low budget, ELB/haproxy/openresty. High budget, Netscaler and done.

We are speaking to years of my own operational experience. I apologize if it sounded like dismissal; I actually think Tarreau would agree with my observation and opinion, if I'm perfectly honest.
In the microcontroller world, expensive debug dongles are essentially hardware keys for the software included. Lauterbach's[1] Trace32 for instance don't even have software keys, the license for their very extensive debugging software is stored in the dongle itself.

Another piece of software that isn't often mentioned in these discussions is the driver for the embedded flash memory inside parts. USB has quite poor latency (1ms) and flash peripherals require quite a few read-modify-write operations, which soon adds up. More expensive JTAG dongles can run these operations locally on the dongle, with USB just for bulk data transfers, or even download and run code on the target itself for even lower latency, greatly increasing download speed. Since this software needs to be tested for each target, requiring a physical chip to be bought, this gets very expensive to develop. Even a "cheap" dongle like the Segger J-Link has an incredibly long list of targets[2], and I suspect a substantial amount of the purchase price is in engineering and testing flash drivers for those.

ARM seem to be trying to solve some of these problems in the ARM world with CMSIS-DAP[3], an open standard for JTAG/SWD dongles USB protocol. It uses USB HID, so no drivers should be needed on any platform, and they have even created an Apache licensed implementation[4], which Freescale are now using in their FRDM boards.

Counterpoint: OK Cupid ratings appear to show that black men suffer rather less in the attractiveness stakes vs black women. http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/race-attraction-2009-2014/ . If you see more black men + white women combos, those statistics would seem to suggest that it's because (for whatever reason) white men aren't as interested in black women as white women are in black men.

Let me remind you what I said verbatim:

> The stats back up that people prefer to date within their own race when they can.

That's exactly what your data shows. If you look across all races, there is a clear bias towards people dating their own race. You can find exceptions, but those are within one or two data points, and the trend overall remains true.

> which shows that black women are more likely to reply to men now of her own race (and white men are almost at the top).

By just 2 points. And black men prefer black women. You did find an exception, but keep looking and the trend maintains.

Also, quick reminder that my original post focused on personal choice being important. Nobody suggesting forcing people to date a certain race, just that personal choice might get in the way of the "solution" to the problem the OP suggested (inter-racial marriage).
Most of the 18 countries considered part of the middle east have outputted their share of young men - especially if you rank the countries by population. And a significant percentage of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan were foreign fighters from middle eastern countries not central asia, particularly the leading figures. I believe most people on HN are aware extremists represent a small percentage of the total populations.

How Jimmy Fallon Engages Followers
Want some interesting perspective - in 1968 Jim Crow laws were still in effect (aka separate but "equal") until they were finally made illegal.

But you can be positive that just making it illegal in 1968 didn't end the practice, it most certainly went on into the 70s

That's only a couple of generations ago.

It's crazy that some people don't understand why it take so long to recover from hundreds of years of that, people of color were literally second class citizens.
I have seen "democratic" teams spend over two months debating the merits of various solutions that both had about equal, but different, benefits and drawbacks.

I think that claim is sufficiently substantiated that it ought not be called an "assumption."

> To program any more was pointless. My programs would never live as long as [Kafka’s] The Trial.

As a programmer, I want to believe I'm a writer, a poet, a sculptor.

But the truth is programmers are dancers, mimes, ventriloquists. We're performance artists, and the systems we program really only have meaning as long as we keep programming them (or, if we're really lucky, someone else takes up the dance when we grow tired of it). Once we take our final bows, the programs will fade away and die and all that will be left is a memory of the performance.

In the US we had segregation, not apartheid. There is a difference.

As a white man living in the South, we still have segregation in practice. I rarely had interaction with blacks because they did different things and took different classes at school. We all went to the same schools---just didn't have the same classes or have the same social circles. Not much shared in the way of culture. I have had some black friends over the years who get berated by other blacks for "acting white."

There is nothing white people can do to fix this. Blacks have always decided what kind of culture they want to have and they will continue to do so.

I am a manager, who also serves as a tech lead, for the record I'm at Microsoft.

Ex-MSFTee and Google SDE here - At Microsoft my manager served both as a manager in a traditional sense, as well as a tech lead. At Google, my manager and tech lead (TL) have always been distinct roles filled by different people. My manager, though an experienced dev himself, leaves all the various aspects of daily technical leadership to his TLs and focuses on just people and project management. From a line management perspective, both my TL and I report to the same manager.

My experience is that this organization allows managers to manageably have a lot more DRs than my managers at MSFT could. Another benefit is that the TL role is a natural fit for people who do want to step into a clear role that allows them to increase their impact and leadership as senior engineers but are not interested in traditional people/career management work.
In Asian culture Asian woman always have a strong preference for other Asians (this is of course generalizing across the different Asian cultures), especially from the same Asian race. But there's a strong fetishizing of Asian women by certain non-Asian men so there's a disproportionate amount of Asian-women-chasing by white men that gets misconstrued as preference by Asian women. If everyone preferred blue M&Ms, you'll simply see more blue M&Ms in everyone's mouths, regardless of their race.

The Asian women fetish is quite unique in that there's really nothing else like it for women of another race present in American culture. You'll find it in pop culture such as Weezer's album "Pinkerton," named after the character from Madame butterfly who marries a Japanese woman.
I like this post a lot, because it reminds me a lot of myself. I have spent a long time thinking about how the deluge of easy entertainment and shallow articles on the Internet has affected the way people operate. I've even done a similar experiment in the past, except in my case it was banning the Internet except for a specific set of use cases. It was certainly an interesting experience.

One warning I will throw out for those considering entertainment/distraction deprivation: you will need something to spend your time on. Instead of just taking away, use the same opportunity to try to cultivate a productive habit (hey, you're going to be suffering anyway -- might as well).

Also, you need to think about whether this really addresses the issues that cause you to be "mediocre"/lazy/unproductive. It's easy to blame external factors like the Internet for providing easy entertainment, but it's also important to look inward and see if you have mental roadblocks that are inhibiting you -- perhaps you are mentally exhausted from work, or maybe you just aren't interested. Also, I've started to think that some people are just flat out less productive than others. Or to put it another way, some people are abnormally productive. After all, productivity is really more of a means than an end. If you're not sure where you are going, it doesn't matter how fast you get there. And if you do have a goal, abstract ideas like quality or productivity are quickly redefined in more concrete terms to fit your new intention.

That's a good point. Everyone always blames this on conservative policies like the war on drugs, but in reality liberal policies like school integration have also contributed to the issue, e.g. by creating gangs and balkanizing communities.

The 'sorry' part referred to my comment sticking out like a sore thumb. Every other comment goes on about racism, etc - while I see a problem inherent in the subset of individuals themselves.

It's a social thing - to prepare the reader for what may strike them as an unpleasant (yet I believe is true) perspective.
I think you overestimating it - there are not a lot of people that have bank accounts with payments coming out of them that keep balances below $10. Most of people that are poor enough so that $10 is a real issue for them would not even have a bank account.

> $10 that to them would likely be more money than they ever had

I have hard time to believe for most 14-year-olds $10 would be "more money that they ever had", in this day and age. For 5 year old, sure. But typical 14 year old not ever having a price of two sandwiches in Subway (or one in a fancier place, or a meal in a relatively cheap restaurant)? I don't believe it.

> I'm sure some people would miss payments or have other inconveniences affect them.

Like lots of people that had the balance of exactly 1 cent and had their rent payment of exactly 1 cent coming in. That doesn't sound ridiculous at all :)

I think you're reaching here. That's not the point anyway - the point is that these things are not just numbers, and are not directly comparable and workable using simple arithmetics.
I don't like the theory that a piece of software can't be complete. Not all software can be complete, but some simple tools (which most software should be made of) can and should be able to be finished forever, or at least asymptotically approach completeness to a degree that the distance becomes irrelevant.
