my company had a special internal 1 month bootcamp for new hires and unfortunately so much was taught to them, that when they were sent to production they forgot what they had learned on day 1.
Moral : It's about individual skill. Put them into production and the committed ones will always perform better no matter they are from bootcamp or not.

Currently, employers that pay a less than living wage are subsidized in effect - the government (tax payers) makes up the difference in the form of food stamps, healthcare, etc.
Is it right that businesses should get subsidized labor?

It isn't that complicated. They key to unlocking double-entry accounting is the accounting equation and the (8?) or so rules mapping debits and credits to transactions. As for a bank deposit, it needs to be understood that the statement is produced from the bank's perspective. I don't think that the average person, given a few hours of learning, would struggle with this.
Code listings in audio books are going to be, er, interesting. I remember seeing a video of a blind coder's set up and the audio was incredible - really fast and hard to tune in to.

I think there's a service idea here - something to hook people up to others who want to read a book and are prepared to read it out aloud and record it. Build a library of books. Audio books tend to be edited mind you.

I think "intellectually curious" is a bit misleading.

True, most of us here are mostly interested in technology. But intellectuality is a broader term. What about philosophy, management, etc.? These all belong together in a broader sense and I would love to see a (digital) library combining these fields.

It's as if the CA anti-solicitation scandal never happened. Let's increase the fines for companies who are trying to own their employees by 100x.
I hate Facebook, but I don't plan to stop using it anytime soon. Well - I don't hate everything about it, but I hate everything they're trying to do, so I agree with this article. But "hate"ing a company is odd, so I guess I really mean "I want to have nothing to do with".

I'll switch when there's a dominating replacement. All I want, for the rest of my life, is:

- a way to see updates from friends and acquaintances and people I've fallen out of contact with, and post mine for them.

- a way to search for and 'add' people I meet.

- a way to chat with those people (including in groups)

- all of those things, without social baggage that constrains it to 'only teenagers' or 'only colleagues and classmates' etc.

- and in a network that contains most people I meet, or doesn't have social baggage that prevents most people from being willing to join it.

To me it's an enriched version of what I get by having lots of contacts in my phone or email address book: exactly a list of people, plus the additional fact that I feel physically near them in some sense (and I think this is a concrete emotional thing. My family and friends don't feel too far away when I get to see snippets of their life streamed into mine).

Everything else - groups, events, pokes, company pages, apps, games, friend suggestions, wall posts, public about-me sections, places, reviews, ads, etc... I don't care about any of it. Maybe something that trims off all this fat would be innocuous enough to actually find adoption. I could see it living in some peer-to-peer structure too, but it has to still be absolutely trivial for anyone to join.
Actually I don't see how being a manager at bigco or being a wealthy student in an expensive school with lots of means helps you bootstrap a company on a shoestring.

On a side note I'm more and more weary about the "lack of diversity" narrative, Indians and eastern Asians are over-represented, this is not a white world, there is a lack of Blacks, Hispanic and women, but remember that the Indians and eastern Asians will be the most suffering minority in rebalancing. Also, I think the issue of white women might not call for the same changes as the issue of minorities, because they are not a minority. I still don't know what to do (but I don't work, so you're free to take my job, I was a manager in IT), but I think a more nuanced analysis and a finer picture than "it's a bunch of white rapists" might help finding leverage points.

I use a self-hosted docker registry. The good thing is the work has already been done for you! You just need to run the registry image from DockerHub. Here's the steps I used to run my registry:

- Mount your storage to a local location

- Pull registry image from DockerHub

- docker run -p 5000:5000 -v <local storage>:<container storage> -e STORAGE_PATH=<container storage> registry

- docker push registry <server>:5000/registry

The last step pushes the registry image you retrieved from DockerHub into your own private registry. I'm running this registry on a VM using a Celerra share. Works like a champ!

The documentation for the registry image I'm running can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/docker/docker-registry

There are many storage options, you don't have to use local storage - there are several options for using cloud storage.

Hope that helps!

I have to be honest, I have given up on pgp. From what I know there is no way to have encrypted communications between more than two people. So why even bother pursuing the dream of everyone using it if there is such a roadblock in the way of common communication habits.
The 1984 Los Angeles Olympics were similar. It and surrounding areas had the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a 92k capacity and the Rose Bowl with a 103k capacity available, and numerous smaller professional arenas, and a large number of college and university facilities. For Olympic Village they used the University of Southern California.

Only two new permanent facilities were built for the games: Olympic Velodrome at California State University, Dominguez Hills and the Olympic Swim Stadium at the University of Southern California. Both of those received heavy corporate sponsorship which covered most of the costs.

Overall, the Los Angeles Olympics made a profit of around $200 million.

I lived in the area at the time (Pasadena, to be precise), and the Olympics were remarkable unobtrusive. Mot people expected traffic to be really terrible during the Games, but enough people apparently took vacations or arranged to work at home or shifted their schedules that my daily freeway commute during the games was actually much faster than it had been before.
So Fitbit targeted Jawbone as a source of engineering and product development talent. That seems like fair play to me and anything less would seem oddly uncompetitive.

Some of those ex-employees broke the confidence and policies of Jawbone while employed there. That's the issue; Jawbone needs to address that with the individuals.

If they want an injunction preventing Fitbit from using the literal documents in question, or the specific confidential information about product roadmaps in the employees' heads, that seems appropriate, but it's unclear how you'd enforce it.

Fitbit is going to develop features in their hardware and software that compete in the market. Inevitably, some of those same features will have been on Jawbone's roadmap. The fact they get developed isn't proof to me that it was stolen.
My key takeaways:

1. Global mobile penetration:

5.2 bn active mobile subscribers worldwide, but only 40% have smartphones. Given the apparent ubiquity of smartphones in India and China, this was surprising to me.

This is a fairly significant opportunity. Even if you were to assume mobile penetration ends today, there are still 1.5x as many new smartphone users that will come on to the market over the next decade.

Each additional smartphone user however will have decreasing disposable income because this is what prevented them from acquiring the device sooner in the first place. This means that they'll also be nearly impossible to monetize as customers for a very long time.

The moonshot ISP plays Google and Facebook are making in poorer parts of the world make a lot of sense viewed through this lens. Neither of them have any need to make money of these users immediately. But capturing these users and waiting for their disposable incomes to grow could prove to be a valuable strategy in the long term.

2. Kakaotalk and other messaging platforms

Kakaotalk has 48 mn MAUs, flat year-on-year user growth, and generates $853 mn in revenue / year.

The messaging app with next highest rates of engagement? WhatsApp with 800 mn MAU and 60% year-on-year user growth. That $19 bn USD play Facebook made looks like a bargain.

3. E-Commerce makes up only 9% of retail sales in the United States.

Next time you sneer at yet another e-commerce company launching, remember this metric. The majority of retail transactions can be carried out over the internet. Niche-specific e-commerce platforms simply have to figure out how to sufficiently lower the transaction friction. Some of this ground will be captured by incumbents, but there's a lot of room for startups.

4. Mobile device management = critical in preventing breaches

Enterprise grade MDM turns out be relatively difficult to implement on off-the-shelf consumer mobile devices with any amount of stability or reliability. There's room for someone to step in and offer custom mobile devices for enterprise (good thing we're already working on this and am happy to chat about it if you're curious)

Yes, we've passed Peak Facebook, but that's just because it has been distilled and pornographized to the point of desensitization. Pure capitalism at its finest.

What will set the trend for the future is our understanding of how digital slavery works. We can be entering one of the darkest eras of modern history, or one of the most liberating. The choice is up to us, human beings, whether we sell ourselves to whoever is better at manipulating our emotions and thoughts, or whether we choose the free and open path that liberates us from digital tyranny.

> So you're saying that people are promoting an equitable

It is not cool, it is just easy. No effort to understand a problem even less effort to understand is there really a problem, just band your keyboard and rant how offended you are by this or by that.
I think this is a result of responsibility collapse—by that I mean that some topics have become so knee-jerky, so when even some words are taboo the concepts behind them are inaccessible so people are not able to think about them. This results in people not really understanding what racism is (so any mention of color of the skin is regarded racist, religion get mixed with race, the whole notion that "black people cannot be racist", etc.) The same goes for sexism and other -isms.
When you no longer know if something is a problem you just react to trigger words and take a SJW stance—I guess it somehow assures that you are not *ist of some kind. A lot like homophobes are vocal against gay people so god forbid someone will thin they are gay themselves. And of course if one does indeed has some tendencies the volume of their vocality increases just to drown that quiet voice of doubt.
It doesn't specify _only_ one colour ("each card is plain white except for" would appear to work well). If your question is going to be sloppy then you're going to need to be prepared to accept a range of solutions.

There's a difference between your examples and the question:

"Give me a shirt." is a request for one shirt.

"You've got a shirt in the wardrobe." is a statement that doesn't tell you how many shirts are in the wardrobe, just that there is one.

Similarly:

"Will you hand me a pencil." is asking for one pencil.

"I have a pencil." is telling you that I have at least one pencil.

What you get is the current middle eastern situation. Everyone believed invading Iraq would be quick and easy, which it was, and that the reconstruction would be like the post-WW2 reconstruction of Europe, which it really wasn't.
That's quite a disappointing future the author is painting there. The best I can hope for is that future "hot startups" will prefer to sell themselves to any other company but Facebook when Facebook comes knocking on their door with a bag of cash. Otherwise I'll continue to express my distaste for such an acquisition, just like I did with Oculus and Whatsapp and will try avoiding them in the future. Vote with your wallet as they say.

>Facebook is an insanely rich company to the tune of $192 billion as of September 2014

That's not exactly being rich, those aren't billions that Facebook can go spend in the same way as Apple can spend their cash reserves. The $192 billions is the evaluation of Facebook, not the money Facebook has available to spend.

Profits are what makes companies rich, not that Facebook is doing to badly in that department.
In other words - the Internet. You don't need to do all those things in a single place, or even in multiple places, but all owned by the same company.

The fact that people want to use Instagram, Vine, Snapchat and Whatsapp is proof many people don't want a single service for everything. It's just unfortunate that Facebook happens to have acquired many of those.
Here's the thing, you might be able to side-step the issue, but when your competition's sales guys chat about the NCAA finals hopefuls, team composition, coach histories, and certain rivalries and you can only comment a little bit at the dinner after your demos, the customer will remember more levity and just plain fun about the other guy than you when it comes to the emotional side of "which company has reps I will have more rapport with?" Think of it similar to dating and trying to impress a few girls - without a sense of humor you are at an immediate disadvantage. This is what most engineers outside sales would think of that golf course meeting or something, but it's all about establishing something more than just a one-time transaction relationship - it's going to continue, so it's not far off from the dynamics of dating aside sexual part. But consider for a moment that everyone is on even footing in a dating pool - the one that is most memorable and associated with good feelings where you let yourself be vulnerable will win.

Enterprise sales is complex but still fundamentally rather emotional among the decision-makers. The kinds of companies that buy $10MM of software in a year from one vendor are only so many, so there tends to be reputations that follow people, and many sales persons simply follow along a few friends that are executives at organizations across their careers and sell whatever software they're peddling every time they switch companies.
What you must not forget is the fact that a bootcamp only costs you 8-12 weeks in full-time salary on top of the 10k, whereas a BSc costs you 3-4 years of full time salary. I don't think that all that many people would do highschool-bootcamp. Most people have a BSc and at least a semi technical background. For them a second BSc is not really an options because it would take them out of the loop for too long.

> One now-former employee, Ana Rosario, was hired by Fitbit as a user experience researcher around April 16 but did not disclose that she planned to leave Jawbone until April 22, the complaint said. On April 20, according to the complaint, Ms. Rosario held a meeting with Jawbone’s senior director of product management to discuss the company’s future plans and then downloaded what the company said was a “playbook” outlining its future products.

One could see how this sort of thing might have crossed a line. Perhaps Fitbit had no idea this was going on, or perhaps they hired people and implicitly or explicitly had them go in and get specific documents and information before leaving.

One of the things about civil litigation is that sort of thing can be revealed in discovery, via looking at internal emails, memos, and so on.

I would love to see distributed peer to peer become the next big thing. Just the social graph would be a start since it would probably be more difficult to find a decentralized way of of holding on to content and posts(?). Anything where you want a degree of privacy you probably need the service to be either paid or distributed or the monetary incentives will be skewed against the users interests.

I've wondered the difference between a good bookkeeper and a CPA. After looking at your comment, I finally looked up the requirements to become a CPA. I won't list them; they are easily found online.

I have wondered the difference, because I had two friends who had vastly different incomes, but were doing essentially the same work.

My first friend(former girlfriend in college) became a CPA, and was working for a small VC.(when I knew her I don't think they were calling themselfs venture capitalists? They were just small cap investment firms--basically a rich guy who invested in small business.) Well, since she was a CPA she had no problems in obtains jobs, and salary was not an issue.
I guess she was a good accountant?

My other friend who dropped out of school, and didn't get his bachelor's degree went into bookkeeping. He took a tremendous amount of business and accounting courses at various community colleges. He wanted to get his CPA, but didn't have the auditing experience(not required anymore in CA), and didn't have a bachelors degree. He did some amazing things for just a bookkeeper. He was highly instrumental in making the owner of a small local bike manufacturer a multimillionaire. He was always working, but never got close to the salry of the CPA. I recall him saying he coukd pass all four sections of the CPA exam, but couldn't get his license because he lacked the education/auditing requirement.

I have thought about the two over the years; and without a doubt If I needed an accountant, I would hire my friend without the CPA license. Why, because I know what he did professionally. I still think about that deal he put together. I know we need a CPA licensing system, but don't discount the bookkeeper with the spectacular work history?

My point is get that CPA if you can afford it? I'm pretty sure the bachelor's degree can be in any major. You need certain amount of accounting courses, and a one year of experience working under any CPA, at any company.

(What I find troubling in CA is under Brown--it appears Lobbiests got their mits on Gov. brown and made it harder to gain entrance into certain professions. I'm not sure if easier, or harder to become a licensed CPA before Brown? I do know he caved into the Realeste brokers lobby. It is harder to become a real estate broker under Gov. brown. When Gov. Scheartzenegger was hit by the Reators lobby he said, 'I'm sorry. I don't want to make the broker's license more difficult to obtain. You haven't presented one instance where the old system failed?' He vetoed the bill.

That day, I went from a militant, strict Democratic to someone who didn't care which party you were affiliated with.)

Unfortunately, in my opinion, Facebook is here to stay.

Reasons:
- Local/OSS/decentralized social networks will not work for the common population because their friends and updates will not be there.

- Video based is already a success, see Twitch, but people sometimes prefer text and likes.

- Messenger only is also a success, see Whatsapp/FB messenger, but some people have the need to expose themselves to people outside their groups.

- Pinterest, Instagram and Google+ have their own public which mostly likely are also in FB. They use it for difference purposes.

- Twitter, well this one it's difficult. First of all most of the communication is public and some users are not interested in that. Also there's a lot of self promotion messages which does not mean it will engage users to communicate. Finally Twitter tries to reinvent itself and the features are not consistent. i.e. For several weeks they enabled translations and after it was disabled. Twitter might have a chance to engage more people with Tvshows, movies, music and personalities.

Facebook after all is the social network which is easier to get started, makes a balance between public and private/groups, lot's of features available (games, messenger, groups etc...) and families and friends in the same feed. I guess it's pretty hard to beat that currently for other social networks.

we hired an english teacher from a local rails bootcamp and he has been great. wouldn't look back. this speaks more to personality than experience of course, but in a market strived for developers I am glad to see those with an interest in the field getting the opportunity to explore it professionally.
I'm longing for formal definitions of type and trait, to see the exact difference.
We hired from one a while back. Guy was good/ok but came with some attitude issues for someone in his first role. Having said that, some of our best hires have been interns that stayed as full time developers (not from bootcamp per se, but straight out of Uni or equivalent diploma courses). Those were some of the best people I worked with.
