Regarding the lawyer, there's a more complex bait and switch going on here...

As you progress in the practice of law, you spend less time working on document review and trial / transaction prep. Due to the nature of law firms, senior lawyers tend to either be focused on client development (sales!) or various forms of cat herding (project / business management!)...

Wait... tell me again about the career prospects of engineers in their 50's who (successfully) switched into sales and management?

Perfect Response When Union Protesters Started Protesting the Wrong Company
It is not ionizing radiation, the primary hazard of microwave radiation is its heating effects on sensitive tissue that has poor blood circulation -- in particular it has been implicated in the development of cataracts in the eye. So to a first approximation, the few milliseconds of 1000W output is really only as hazardous as a few minutes of the typical leakage you get with the door closed (somewhere on the order of 5 mW).
Strictly speaking, salaries lag behind prices in typical inflation scenario. It is not that your wage go down, it is that it won't go up until your performance review 3 months down the road, but in the mean time you still have to pay bigger bills at the store.

Increase in prices itself is not inflation, but an lagging indicator of inflation. The prices go up because there's more money around, but the same amount of products and services. One way this can happen is when the government keeps printing money faster than the economy is growing.

At the end, this is just a disguised form of taxation. The government creates extra money, but if there is not extra GNP to back it up, the extra value has to come from somewhere else. That means all the previous money get debased. Everybody pays their "fair share", even the pimps and drug dealers mentioned earlier in the comments. (This is not the only possible scenario, but it is simple and easy to understand).

And the reason you do not want the government to stop printing more money at all, the way the gold bugs say things ought to be, is that if the economy grows but the money supply stay flat you get deflation. Same amount of money chasing an increasing supply of goods and services... meaning you are basically paying people to sit on their cash and wait for prices to go even further down, arresting economic growth. This is the stuff economic depressions are made off.
I don't think anyone meant, or said, "fuck you". Why are you even implying such a thing?

Ultimately we can't work on even a fraction of the features that every person wants, and Laurie said his idea was simple to implement... so why not show how it's done? Honestly, it's not that sinister and it is certainly not rude.
> yes, because dialing 3.0.3.3.8.4.0.3.5.5.1.2.5.e164.arpa is super easy to do.

Nonsense, the user would never dial that. The number gets mechanically translated as necessary, which is extremely straightforward...

> We have been doing phone calls for more than 100 years, and it remained practically unchanged since then.

Really? Most of your comments in this thread are uninformed, bordering on the absurd. If you are doing a telecom startup (as your profile implies), I would encourage a better understanding of the industry: you can't compete with what you don't know.
> That would be a total security nightmare and hopefully it's never going to happen.

Why? You're assuming a lot of things about a hypothetical implementation that is going to have heavy restrictions on in anyway since it's running in the javascript sandbox.
Similar, yes. I have beta users who hated New Relic's server-side setup.

I'm also treating this more as a production monitoring tool, rather than a dev tool.
To offer a couple of hopefully useful ideas, you could:

1. Have the demo take you directly to the page where you choose an app, rather than to the admin page which manages your installed apps.

2. Focus even more on the "like installing phone apps but for websites" metaphor. I think that metaphor works very well as soon as you understand it, and elicits a "Yeah... why don't web apps work like that?" epiphany.

3. Continuing 2., you might consider focusing the home page advertising on the most popular apps themselves (more than you do currently), rather than the conceptual idea that you can install your own apps (which is harder to grok, or at least to differentiate from heroku et al). Ie, "Run your own X in 10 seconds", where X is something I already know and think is cool, might be easier to understand, and more motivating. Just as most users think of their phones as indistinguishable from the specific apps they love and use every day, rather than as an abstract platform for running those apps.
I don't know what it is, I only know that this comment prompted the deal killer comment:

>>"Note. We currently don't support updating table using DELETE, and UPDATE commands. We also don't support single row inserts.".
Just "COPY TO ..." or "INSERT INTO ... SELECT ..." is available it seems.

>So that's a deal killer. Damn.

This limitation is not a dealbreaker at all in a data warehousing environment, as I explained. Thus, I can assume that their use case is not data warehousing.
The irony here is that Yellen is the chair of the Federal Reserve.

It's analogous to Malboro's CEO warning smokers about lung cancer.
You are spot-on with your point on pay for value. If you want proof of this, look no further than the leaked Sony emails doing a search for "salary" or "compensation." Reviews, metrics, etc. are used only as justification to pay people enough not to leave, even at the highest levels of the organization. The whole process is fake. The number is usually based on salary history, compensation stats from competitors, employee complaints, or having a better offer in-hand. This creates somewhat toxic environments where the least loyal employees who whine loudest, puff up their importance, job hop, and interview strategically get the best outcomes.

The closest I've seen to pay for value is in finance or sales roles, and even that is hazy. Employees in those roles have a few things going for them:

1. Measurable output. A trader or salesman can point to his numbers for the year and know what he's worth to the business. The business can see them and know what's at stake if they deflect.

2. Fewer economies of scale, meaning the individual employee provides relatively more value than the firm does. The typical Google engineer can't re-create Search from scratch, but a hedge fund trader can walk out the door with a great idea to work for a competitor. That's great leverage.

3. Competitive external employment environment. If your salesmen are woefully underpaid, a rival employer will snatch them up since they can pay them more than you while still retaining a solid margin. A lot of these jobs are in "winner take all" economies, so employers will squeeze their margins extremely tight to win talent.

4. Competitive internal culture. Don't ask, don't get. If you are managing millions of dollars or trying to close deals, you're probably the type of person to confidently ask for a raise or bonus.
Thank you for posting this. It seems it's easy to find friends to do interviews with, but it is not. When I was looking for a job, following are the services I have found. Some of these may help (not affiliated with either):

1. Pramp.com: Practice technical interviews

Downside: Not very effective if you find an interviewer that is casual. Conducting interviews is a skill. The interviewer needs to have a good command over the problem and its nuances.

Upside: free

2. http://Interviewkickstart.com: Full-on practice and mock interviewing. Run by a former Director of Engineering.

Downside: Serious cash

Upside: Very effective

3. interviewing.io: Chatroulette for technical interviewing. Run by a recruiter? engineer? Can't tell.

4. https://careercup.evisors.com/search: Careercup used to be awesome, but it seems a bit bloated now.

Hope this helps!
I have to agree... I do hope to see something close to a drop-in coreos cluster on a number of networks that becomes easier to use in practice and on in-house servers... The reliability is still a concern, and when you are using a PFM (pure f*ing magic) solution, it needs to be rock solid. I think within 1-2 years CoreOS will be a choice solution... unfortunately I can't wait for that, and don't have the time to become intimate with every detail therein.

Although etcd had a lot of issues even when I was in the evaluation stage... I setup a dev cluster, having a node running on half a dozen machines (developer workstations included) in the office. The etcd cluster broke 3-4 times before I abandoned the thought of using it. With the 2.x release, my test network (3 virtual servers) was a lot more reliable, but I decided I didn't need it that much, opting to use my cloud provider's table solution for maintaining my minimal configuration...

For my deployment, the cluster is relatively small, 3 nodes mainly for redunjdancy... our load could pretty easily be handled by a single larger server. That said, I decided to just use dokku-alt for deployments directly to each server (each service with two instances on each server). To make deployments easier to use, I have internal dns setup with wildcards using v#-#-#.instance-#.service.host.domain.local as a deploy pattern for versioned targets and instance-#.service.host.domain.local for default instances. I have two nginx servers setup for ssl, spdy termination and caching configured to relay requests to the dokku cluster for user-facing services. This is turning out to be simpler than implementing etcd/flannel for that communications layer.

Each instance is passed relevant information regarding the host/service information to report it's own health to table storage, internal communication is using ZeroMQ req/res interfaces to minimize communication overhead, and allow for reconnects. Which is working a little better than relying on WebService/REST interfaces internally.
Office break-rooms usually only have microwave ovens, not stoves because fire safety regulations are more stringent for an area in a commercial building which is designated as a "kitchen" which a stove usually makes it.
I'm curious if search companies ever publish information on whether their products are actually useful.

For e.g. One measure of success for something like a search engine could be a reduction in the number of different search queries leading to the same user-click. People needing to rephrase and re-search is bad for the users, but paradoxically good for Google. And so, the search product would be vastly improved if Google targeting having the least "engagement" and a higher result convergence. But then again, that applies to many advertising-funded web properties.

I'd be interested to hear some specific examples if you care to post them.
Maybe or maybe not. We don't know what the exact numbers were and what they needed to be to keep them in tact. They may have deprecated them anyway to keep a single SDK (at least that's kind of the impression I got though if the usage was high the timeline would probably be longer and more features would be in the core SDK).

It's easy to lambast someone because someone didn't want to rely on another's API but it's a very good point to bring up. Big companies such as Google regularly kill things people use and start-ups are encouraged to think fast, test fast; I have a hard time wanting to rely on either for my business.

I don't hate the US, so that's a weird accusation...

> > to project power lawfully in the Asia Pacific.

> This is pro-China bullshit right here. Lawfully by whose standards?

International standards. There is nothing wrong with sending your naval forces into international waters so long as proper notifications are made. China is doing this. Is is lawful. It is aggressive. The Japanese and Philippines don't like it. But it is lawful.

> There's a big difference in intercepting packages and installing backdoors in a targeted and legal way, at least acording to SCOTUS who have ZERO problems with our status quo - and massive cyberwar attacks from China and cooked in state mandated malware.

Yes there is. Actually, both the US and China (and France and Israel and Germany and the UK and Russia, etc, etc) perform massive cyberwar attacks. They all also backdoor their hardware and software en masse (not just targeted interception).

> the US's method are a million times more ethical than autocratic states in regards to SIGINT. Heck, Putin had Kaspersky give him information on journalists he didn't like.

I don't think you want an apple to apple comparison with the US... The US just turned their intelligence agencies on the Associated Press to ruin their relationships with informants and to track their sources... The US does have more covert ways of doing things - their censorship and propaganda efforts are more covert and rely more on bribery and deception than force. But is that something we want to cheer on?

The US is much better than Russia on journalistic rights. The US isn't fighting huge swaths of KGB installed media in the US, whereas Russia has to deal with Western NGOs and CIA intermediaries. So what? And why do you want to bring it up?

> We power their economy via our manufacturing and via the sales of our products. If anything they are close economic partners. Are we moving all of our manufacturing to Mexico or something? Seems to me the US is very much tied to the success of China.

We are tied to the success of China. But not its success of becoming a superpower. This is the distinction you are asking for.

> > and to increase the risk of its using its military

> This is asinine. China is unilaterally taking over disputed islands with zero attempts to use diplomacy, the UN, etc. The Japanese and others have claims on those islands. Why are you dismissing their rights? Because they are "evil US" partners as well?

Erg, well the situation is a whole lot more complicated than you made it? Technically nothing they are doing is illegal. I'm not going to say its right?

All I'm getting at is that no state is right. The US isn't a hero. Neither is China.

They are merely in conflict. We are stuck in the middle.

I didn't buy good versus evil. You did. For you the US is good and China is evil.

You are accusing HN (and me) of thinking China is good and the US is evil.

Neither is true. There is no good or evil. There are states in conflict. And there are ideals they both break.

The point of my post is to bring up the point that it is not China breaking with ideals. It is every nation breaking with ideals.
I'd probably look at the S&P Price/Earnings Ratio. You can't just go by price because what if the US economy really is growing faster or slower? The stock market should reflect that, and it shouldn't be growing at some constant rate.

Not deporting 500.000 people != "not caring for immigration restriction at all"

You know, Germany has no borders, but the EU has indeed some. You can stop people there. There are other things you can do. Germany is taking proactive measures to stop emigrants from the Balkan.

We could stabilize North Africa again - hopefully this time without the dictators - and get them to stop the smugglers for us, like Gaddafi did.

I am not saying to not let them in either. Just list some requirements like knowledge of the language, a degree, maybe a job, just like the US, Canada and Australia do - typical countries Germans emigrate to, where they have to meet their requirements.
Hall teams up with hipchat
Thank you. As to the draw calls, NanoVG draws everything directly each frame so this is constant whether or not you are updating. As to the overhead, not too long ago everything was updated each frame regardless of whether it was modified or not, and performance was fine. Worse than it is now, but okay. So I guess it could handle it.

But then again, that's only the default renderer. You can always roll your own and plug it in, kiUi has been designed to permit that.
Exactly wrong. They get fewer callbacks.
A bubble? No. A bubble is more than just "asset prices are higher than they should be".

Take stocks or real estate. The price goes up. People see the price going up. They buy, because they want to buy something where the price is going up so that they will make money. That buying increases demand without increasing supply, so the price goes up some more. That's a bubble - where the price goes up because people are buying because the price is going up (and so they think it's going to keep going up). It's a positive feedback loop.

But bonds... nobody's buying bonds because they think the price is going to go up. They're buying bonds because they think bonds are safe. But, in fact, bonds aren't very safe. The next direction interest rates will move is up; when they do, bond prices will fall. The longer term the bonds, the more the price will fall.

Isn't "complete partial order" the order of the ordinals? Or maybe you need the hyperreals to get the full picture (i.e. to be able to associate a number with each choice for any set of choices)? I don't know much about this stuff.

But I agree utility is a model and it's conditions are quite clearly stated [1], and one may always infer an utility from the given choices as long as they obey those quite brand conditions (and I wouldn't call a choice consistent if they don't obey those -- for instance if you prefer A over B, B over C, and C over A).
