Mycroft – Load Data into Redshift Automatically
I had a friend who studied journalism, and in his last year of school he was lucky enough to land an internship with The Onion. What he quickly learned was The Onion's internships are some of the most difficult in the industry. While other publications have to capture the facts surrounding a story, The Onion has to capture the zeitgeist of a time and place for their stories to be believable. The amount of research that goes into their stories is staggering.

Warrantied to what, though. That you can still get 20% capacity levels in year 10, or that it will still turn on? This might be considered "normal wear and tear."

3000 deep cycles is really pushing what the industry knows to be state of the art.

Maybe they are just taking the economic chance that most people won't be deeply cycling these batteries, and planning to do replacements for those who actually put it through its paces.
Because I enjoyed running the software business more than I enjoyed running the consultancy. Partly that is for difficult-to-explain personal reasons (I feel the sense of satisfaction with operating a software company that some people feel when painting things). Partly it is because of reasons which are endemic to consultancies, even successful consultancies. Feel free to ask if you're curious.

I also have a quirky relationship to money as a goal. Rather little would change about my life if my salary increased by $800k. My hobbies would remain books, video games, taking my wife and daughter on walks, and posting too much on HN.
Please answer these two questions:

1. What is wrong with revising a patent based on Patent Office feedback? "P.O.:This is objectionable for reasons x, y, z" , "Applicant: Ok, thanks, I'll change x, y, z so as not to be objectionable". This seems like a reasonable exchange on the face of it.

2. How will you distinguish 'revisions' from 'new' patents that are substantially similar to previous patent applications?

Remember that some companies (MSFT/Google/IBM) file for many, many patents every year.

Interesting article. I agree with the conclusion that the ability to attract talent is one of the secrets behind the Valley's success. Which is why I see US immigration policy as a major impedance to its' continued success. I am subject to US immigration policy's myself and have to fear for deportation in about a year's time when my current visa runs out. I will be moving to the West Coast after graduating from school in Boston precisely because of this unique mix of talent, creativity, courage and craziness that are going on in the Valley. With the huge surge in housing prices and the above mentioned immigration policies, I am not sure however how long this trend is currently still sustainable. Nonetheless looking forward to the experience.

People have personalities.

If you don't like people's personality, or at least give them the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith - do expect other's to just lobotomize themselves for you?

When I said that, it's really my initial impression and feeling. It's a comment. I think, if done civilly, people can be allowed to express themselves without being PC robots.

Edit: Oh sorry, When I said "Having fun, getting 15 minutes of fame", I meant those as two separate things. However, it reads as if I'm brushing them off.
I've never really gotten over the shock of discovering that anyone asks this, let alone that it's common (especially for larger companies).

Add it to the list of things in business that seem to me to be inappropriate/rude/immoral, I suppose.
Seems logical that the two walls act to funnel people down towards the opening - a 90 degree-wide corner exit is halfway between a 180 degree-wide funnel towards a single door in a wall, and a 0 degree wide corridor that leads to a door.

Likewise the 'obstructed' wall entrance just turns into two corner exits, side-by side (I imagine the scenario doesn't work out well for the individuals caught directly behind the pillar, as the flow past each side of the pillar into each exit zone prevents them from getting into either flow effectively).

12 is wrong. You can't access the character array, you just get a copy. Access to the array would bypass immutability.
I'm 21 and I started programming in 2002 on Sharp PC-1500. It was a BASIC computer, already way way too old for any purpose at the time but I had a great time with it. It all started with a loop, I immediately fell in love. Then I did a program that could tell how old you were, it first asked you your name and then it asked for your date of birth (the current year was hard-coded) and then the output was something like : "Hi Simon ! You are 8 years old." Then I did something that could calculate which day of the year the birthday on this year would be. It asked for your birth month then for your birth day. From then on I never stopped programming.

My point is that BASIC is a nice way to introduce younger folks to programming. I didn't have a Nintendo 64 and I did not play hockey like most of my friends (you guessed it, I'm from Canada) so it became a hobby. It baffles my mind that it still the simplest way to learn how to program. At age 8 you'd have a hard time figuring how to use an IDE, toolchains or even the web console. I was the kind of guy who was bored by school and was done faster than everybody. If you still have one of these computers you should consider giving them to someone like me.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's not sustained i.e. he's not charging $30k/week for 52 weeks straight. He gets a gig here or there and that's what he charges.

I've charged $20k/week for consulting and it was week here or there, not for the whole year. But I may be wrong.
Re 2), you should make sure your salary is at market-level and more or less ignore equity. Chances are you'll be let go or the company will collapse before it's worth anything.

If you have a reasonable salary, equity is just a cherry on top, but if an employer tries to get you to trade cash today for a startup lottery ticket, say no.

This is especially important early in your career given the time value of money. An extra $10k/year in the first five years of your career, properly saved, could add north of $600k to your retirement when you get to that stage in life. That's an almost-certain payoff against a roll of the dice on a sliver of ever-diluted equity.
I agree it's not the hardest part, it just makes the overall picture more delightful to imagine.

Backstop Solutions Group, Chicago IL

Backstop Solutions is looking for a Ruby on Rails whiz. If you have any questions, email Chris Agocs: cagocs@backstopsolutions.com

Info copied from https://www.backstopsolutions.com/careers-software-developer...

Join a growing team of passionate, self-motivated, talented, and creative people with big ideas about the future of software for the investment industry. Backstop is a Chicago based company that makes web-based software applications for hedge funds and the people who invest in them.

Backstoppers take our customers and our service very seriously, but pride ourselves on not taking ourselves too seriously in the process.

We're looking for excellent, experienced software developers. Our technology stacks are heavy on the server side, Java and Rails-oriented, but that doesn't stop us from using the right language or tool to solve a particular problem. We love using Ruby to drive the browser and API tests of our Java applications, building Fitnesse suites to organize our Scala-based integration tests, scripting data loaders in Python, and even hacking at, and in, Perl5 when we're feeling retro.
Electrical brain stimulation beats caffeine – and the effect lasts longer
I've always found the taboo about discussing salaries weird. In my experience, it's almost nonexistant among Russian immigrants to the US—at least the ones my family knows—and yet hasn't caused any real problems.

Sure, there are issues of status and perceived worth around salary—but hiding the numbers doesn't help. People still know your job title, understand your company and see your lifestyle. That's more than enough! Numbers only matter if you want to talk about relatively small differences—ones that matter far more for salary negotiation and evaluating a position than they do for cocktail party

Now, perhaps I'm just being simplistic, but the way I see it is genuinely simple: markets are about transferring information. To do this well, participants have to know what the prices are elsewhere. An arbitrary cultural taboo around the prices does nothing but impede the flow of information. The fact that it's asymmetric just makes it doubly worse.

Transparent salaries are about as capitalistic and idea as can be.

Unfortunately, by character, I'm also unlikely to take my own advice: I fear awkwardness disproportionately. Just one more reason why I deeply dislike arbitrary social rules.

We're fortunate enough to be in an industry where it's rare to be really desperate for a job, so I've come to take this kind of thing as a very strong indication that it's the kind of place that would really suck to work at in any case. From that point of view, the earlier all the BS floats to the surface, the better, so you can get on with looking for a good job.
In so far as I recall, and I never used Generic Cadd in anger, pretty much everything in Generic Cadd was two letter mnemonics. This was back in the days before AutoCad had .pgp files for command aliasing and was just adding drop down menus. The only good options for driving AutoCad with a keyboard were either with the screen menu system that lived in a sidebar like area of the display, or writing AutoLisp and using the bang operator on expressions.

Once AutoCad got .pgp files in R11, then two letter commands were possible...I used "dd" for 'ddlmodes when it was different than 'layer for many years.

Anyway, Generic Cadd was one of the top PC Cadd systems when Autodesk bought them out and then slowly killed them off. I'm not big on the Revit, I upgraded from R14 to Architectural Desktop version 1. Revit's business model always worried me.

With respect to blackouts, I guess it depends on what's the typical pattern where you live. If it's a short outage (<= few hours), my personal reaction is "who cares?" The main one I worry about, living in the Northeast, is an extended outage in winter that could result in frozen pipes. Spoiled food due to an extended outage in the summer would be annoying but that's a much more bounded cost associated with a rare event. And a battery probably wouldn't last long enough to help in a > 24 hour outage situation--which is when protection would be needed.

I agree that $30K sounds like a lot for a generator. I periodically think about looking into it; I've never seriously priced the whole thing out--generator, connection to house, installation, enclosure--but my expectation us that it would be less than $10K. In such an event I certainly have no problem minimizing my electricity use so long as there's enough juice for the furnace in the winter and the refrigerators.

I'm not aware of an option for non-fixed rate electricity where I live.

> AH almost certainly beats 10% annually.

AH was started in July 2009, at the start of a bull market. Since that period, the S&P 500 has had an annualized return, with dividends reinvested, of 17.2%.
http://dqydj.net/sp-500-return-calculator/
This is significantly better than AH which has much greater single-sector risk (early stage/small cap, Bay Area, technology companies with little to no earnings). And AH at least by many sources is a "best-of-the-best" VC, so woe to the less successful VC's.

Whether they are good at intangibles, such as training future CEO's, providing jobs to highly-networked individuals, and encouragement to founders, is less relevant from an investor's standpoint.
I always appreciate your transparency and believe that you're helping drive our industry forward. I often search for ideas on how to help within my area of influence. The closest I've found is Stack Exchange's salary matrix, and the related approach at Fog Creek.

I think publishing salaries has several benefits. For one thing, it removes the used car salesman approach to hiring. One result, which is more important, is that it can help eliminate wage disparity due to differences of gender or level of negotiating skills. It can also help prevent the corrosive effects that can occur if people do find out actual numbers (the morale-sapping that you discuss).

The problem with this approach, and one I'm trying to figure out is, what about the non-developer jobs? Assumedly, each group gets their own matrix. But if the admins can browse the matrices of the other groups, like the development team's, then there can be a similar corrosive effect. One option is to only discuss the salary matrix within your group and with HR. But then we're back to a different version of the tired old story. (Don't discuss the matrix outside of your group!) This leads me to believe that it's best to be completely open. It might also serve as an incentive for people to make an effort to grow into different areas. Any ideas appreciated.
> How do I ask for equity and how much should I ask for as the first hire (technical employee of a non-technical founder)?

That may not be a bad deal, but there are some warning flags that it raises:

* What does the non-tech guy bring to the table? Do they have hard evidence of their ability to make a company successful?

* This is well worth your time to read: http://jacquesmattheij.com/first-employee-or-cofounder
It's closer to Go than Rust since it is garbage collected. It's statically typed, has OO features and first-class functions. It compiles to C making it pretty portable.
I think that the most likely explanation is experimental error.
If the Nim binary is dynamically linked, comparing the size to a Go binary isn't always valid. There are reasonable trade-offs to consider when selecting dynamic vs static linking. Admittedly, when you're running an NES emulator on your desktop probably isn't one of them, you're not likely to care either way.

The Nim -> C -> emscripten path is very impressive. Kudos.
Price reference? Looks like they are 2x Tesla's price.
Yeah except sometimes good engineering teams sit behind ugly HR practices, and hiring processes unfortunately expose you to HR far more than the actual job does.
The new title is still misleading (although I'm not asking you to change it, it's the fault of the article).
