It is very good. There's an educational philosophy around this that state that people who are new need to know "why should I care" first, then "how do I do it" next, followed by "ok, why does it work that way?" last.

When you're cooking, you follow a recipe. When you are learning to be a cook, you graduate to figuring out why you do it the way the recipe did.

And when you get really good, you start saying things like "Well, I wouldn't teach people to cook THAT way! That's wrong!"

I've seen Pied Piper ads on Facebook too. Clearly they have a great PR team that's aware of their demographic!
I can't reply to your last comment for some reason but there was a mutual NDA in place.

I think they needed it more than us to be honest, they were effectively opening up their corporate roadmap to us for what is now a publicly traded company. We were talking to competitors of theirs who we could have shared this insight with which would have done more harm than them taking any of our IP.
The app I use has this feature. It's a little bit hidden (you have to long-press on a story) but it's there.

On that note, what does the OP app offer that this app doesn't, apart from an up-to-date design? It seems to have far less functionality (you can't even log in to upvote stories/comments).
I'm guessing its actually running on a ground station, providing commands or analysing data from satellites, hence why its non-critical and the need has arisen for parallel computation, presumably to speed it up.

Many ARM embedded systems can support C# with the open source .net micro framework (http://www.netmf.com), which doesnt require any OS, and was originally developed for Microsoft's SPOT watch. I haven't used it myself, and I agree with you that it doesn't sound, ideal at first for realtime apps, but none or soft realtime embedded applications are common too.

Let's take this out to its logical conclusion.

You say chemtrails are implausible? We already know that the TLA's have experimented with mind control agents, ala MKULTRA (though under different circumstances) and probably other still-secret programs, so using the rubric you just described, chemtrails are also a legitimate fear.
REDWOOD CITY, CA

NO REMOTE, but we do offer RELOCATION and VISA sponsorship

tl;dr - We’re profitable, pride ourselves on a supportive company culture, and hiring across the board. EdTech.

Course Hero is looking for engineers who can hit the ground running in a variety of roles:

Full-stack web

iOS and Android

UX/UI Design

We’re also hiring in product and marketing.

Our team releases code every day to millions of people, so we're looking for someone who can take on challenges, build new features, and iterate quickly. Each engineer has a role in building Course Hero's architecture and will have the opportunity to touch all parts of the stack. Our projects are big but our team is small, so you’ll see projects from start to finish, working closely with product managers and designers to ensure successful results.

Our company culture is very open, flat, and transparent. We succeed and learn together. Our office is very comfortable, has a lot of natural light, and great amenities like a gym and walking trails onsite. We’ve tried hard to make this a pleasant and inspiring place to do creative work.

Most importantly, we seek to hire individuals whose personality, integrity and passion for our business make our team better as a whole. We’re growing fast, profitable (yes, it’s true!), and looking for another core team member to push us toward the future.

For mobile, we’re focused on iOS for now. Our web stack is LAMP (Symfony/PHP) + jQuery and AngularJS, but we’re open to people with all kinds of experience.

Please, no recruiters. Principals only.

Which apparently doesn't work so well, according to radio astronomers :-/

Kinda makes me worry about how many times I've microwaved the meat-n-two-veg just a bit.
"The really telling thing, though, is how the previous model acted…it would blow fuses regularly"

Good. When a fuse blows, it shows something is wrong, and needs fixing. Replacing the fuse with a nail or something else that doesn't blow is a sure-fire way to set the thing on fire. Bad enough for a desk-lamp, a little worse for radiotherapy machine.

Sounds like people were irritated by fuses blowing, and decided to simply short-circuit the fuses instead.

Looks cool but iPhone only means you're ruling out 70% of mobile users [0], including myself so it's a little disappointing.

> So a technical implementation with its foundation on a social contract that has and can change at any time is to be trusted…

No, the "social contract" at issue deals with a different set of concerns than the "technical solution".

The "technical solution" addresses the issue of providing a mechanism to prevent the data sent from Facebook to you being exposed to third parties without you or Facebook intending that exposure.

The "social contract" addresses limits on intentional sharing by Facebook of data related to you (which overlaps with some of the information in the communications protected by the technical solution.)

The former is not the foundation for the latter, they address distinct, though related, issues.

The younger you get kids, the better, before they have learned those sorts of stereotypes.

Also, at a younger age, programming doesn't have to be taught as "computer science." It can just be an activity.

For me, it was "real programmers don't use BASIC." I let my productivity speak for itself, in things like student research projects.

The filter does not appear to keytrack, thus it gets more or less powerful depending on which notes you play(this is sometimes desirable but usually not).

It is possible to make the filter hoot at low cutoff and maximum emphasis.

http://bjc.berkeley.edu/

It's in the article.

"Snap is the programming language for UC Berkeley’s Beauty and Joy of Computing curriculum (BJC), which aims to bring introductory CS to a wider range of students than the typical intro to programming does. BJC is also used at the high school level, and is a curriculum for the new AP Computer Science: Principles test."
This isn't really a prisoner's dilemma scenario. Why does everyone try to match a scenario to Prisoner's Dilemma when it doesn't fit.

Consider the payoff matrix for the employee:

Employee finds a new job, old employer fails: +5

Employee finds a new job, old employer succeeds: +5

Employee stays, old employer fails: +0

Employee stays, old employer succeeds: +6 (+10?, +20?)

I wouldn't say finding a new job is equivalent to "defecting".

A better analogy is if the employer really put together an awesome team, and he hopes to work with them again in the future. In that case, honesty is better. But that's iterated game theory rather than a single game.

If you play Prisoner's Dilemma once with a complete stranger, you could argue that the Nash equilibrium is to defect. When you play with the same people over and over again, then defectors can be punished.

Unfortunately, the modern economy is more like a group of strangers playing with each other for one game. If you defect, you can always find someone else gullible to play with next time.

You can sue anyone for anything. A skilled prosecutor can indict anyone for anything.

Can you provide a citation of such a case that either went to trial, or reached a non-trivial settlement? Links to random blogs won't cut it, unless they actually link to court papers.
I'm assuming there is a filtering function occurring at HN which means that high quality sources are being linked to more often than low quality sources. I think that's a reasonable assumption, and is why WSJ is getting linked to a lot here.

It's also pretty reasonable to believe that they make more money from subscriptions than they would from advertising, and that they're more likely to be able to afford to produce high quality articles with more money than with less.
I'm sorry you've been given a hard time here, but with good reason. :) Securities law is really important for startups - they're the thing that enables your accelerator to exist, they allow you to exist and raise money and have protected investors for the next thing you do. So a lot of people here care a lot about it. Keeping it fun is one thing, but moving into monetization with fake trading histories - well, clearly you've learned that's another. Good luck with your next project.

An act becoming legal after one has been sentenced for it generally has no effect on past sentences. Executive actions like pardon are possible, but are not in any way necessarily impacted by changes in the legality of the act for which one was convicted. (Though, the same changes in the political landscape which produce changes to the law may influence the politics of discretionary executive actions like pardons.)

Funny. Just the other day, my gas cap was loose. The traction control light came on along with the check engine light. As far as I could tell, it (traction control) was still operational, however.

If you want to reason about code, why not give them the solution and ask them how they would implement it - discussing with them about how they would implement the solution would be more enlightening. When you are being interviewed, the first hurdle is 'solving' the problem - coming up with a solution. Evaluating a developer on 'how they solve' a problem in highly stressful situation seems somewhat unreasonable - after all, what is more important in their day-to-day job is the ability to write maintainable, easy-to-understand code. In real life, problems are often solved via brainstorming with the team, going through iterations of getting/clarifying requirements
But whatever level of advantage they have here now is negated by xilinxes existence of a toolset with roughly that level of engineering effort. So why not, in the least, consider damaging the only true competition by opening up?
You mean that no-good, pinko commie!?

I don't think it's all that new... it's just another witch hunt... nobody is found, and the cycle continues... we need more military, more weapons, more useless tools, and projects to make a few people on this inside millions of dollars.
Oh yes really.

I have had candidates with PhDs in computer science who had a deep understanding of static analysis of programming languages, but who did not know how many bytes were in a pointer on a 64 bit operating system, who thought that there was an algorithm for compressing any 64 bit number into a 32 bit number, who could not describe the possible consequences of a buffer overrun in C, and who had no idea whatsoever what a virtual function table was.

Now, to be fair, as Dijkstra is said to have pointed out, astronomers are not experts on telescope building. People with deep knowledge in one small area of a field are often ignorant of other areas, even closely related areas. In those cases it's even more important to get a sense for how the candidate approaches problem solving, whether they can learn on the job, and so on, because you know that they are going to be deeply in problem solving mode very quickly when faced with their first real-world problems.

I hold up myself as a case in point; I helped build the JavaScript engine that was in Internet Explorer in the 1990s, but know practically nothing about HTML, the browser DOM, CSS, and so on. If I were interviewing someone like me for a web developer position, I would have to be convinced that the candidate could learn quickly.

This was what originally attracted me to Vim, but I found it similarly jarring to jump all the way to the Esc key every time I wanted to switch back to execute mode. I couldn't fathom why such a poor choice was made for that key until I saw the computer it was created on: http://www.catonmat.net/images/why-vim-uses-hjkl/lsi-adm3a-f...

My .vimrc now has "inoremap jj <Esc>" in it, and that was the final missing piece to get me into uninterrupted-productivity mode with Vim. Since you seem to have similar preferences, you might find that a useful optimization.

ETA: Apparently whoever I got this idea from got it from the Vim tips wiki.

Anybody who even has a passing interest in the explosive growth of the Korean economy might enjoy reading Michael Seth's "A History of Korea: From Antiquity to the Present" [1] The beginning is a little chaotic, but the 20th century on parts are really well researched, condensed and fascinating to read.

A lot of this article rings familiar. I have a relative on my wife's side that works for the second largest shipbuilder in the world, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME). He went to the top university in Korea for some kind of relevant engineering degree and Daewoo covered his tuition. In exchange he promised to work for them wherever they put him and for about 5 years he ended up at the DSME shipyards in Okpo-dong, Geoje-do [2], just down the road from the Samsung Shipyard and not too terribly far from the shipyard in this story. The sites are so large they dwarf the nearby towns and are clearly visible on Google Maps without even turning on the Satellite view [3]

He had never been to Geoje-do, and he figured, being so far down south, it might have nice beaches or coastal areas like the next largest island (and only a few hours by ferry) Jeju-do -- also known as Korea's "Hawaii". What he found was rugged, rocky beaches and rough local fishermen. Either pushing their craft out to dangerous seas, or blowing off steam in the local bars.

Working as a member of the DSME engineering team, he at least got to work in a modern office building, the company put him up in decent, if spare, housing and he got a discount on a commuter car from sister division/company Daewoo Autos. The nearby towns had pretty good food and the scenery, though rugged was gobsmacking beautiful if you knew where to go.

He snuck me in on a tour of the facility. It has the kind of incomparable size a mountain does suddenly rising out of a flat plain. It looks big, but then you never seem to ever get near it and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and more massive until your eyes start to resolve tiny people working around the site, too small to see before. I forget the number of ships they put out a year, something on the order of 60 or 70. Or all sizes and configurations: supertankers, cargo vessels, LPG transport, submarines on order. The waters around the island are full of massive ships out on proving runs. [4]

He hated it down there, it was a dull rural life and he was trying to raise a family. In the last couple years of his indenture, he spent time studying to become a patent attorney and wanted to leave DSME, but the company finally relented and brought him back to Seoul to work a more normal life with better pay and seniority. He's now a senior engineer, working on better ways to build ships that keep the world running.

Then there's the adversarial and asymmetrical relationship that exists between employer and employee

Until you're engaged with and benefit from a system, it's an adversary of sorts. You might be an anarchist until you have children, at which point apparatus of the state (e.g. police) suddenly holds value. You might be against forms of financial leverage until you're able to take advantage of the system (i.e. you have capital to play with).

On the flip side, a corporation might see young people as threatening or non-ideal until they have a need for new skill-sets, youthful energy, fresh perspectives or there's been some sort of normalization between the two entities. I think the effect is pronounced more than ever because there's a disparate rate of cultural evolution between generations, and corporations are responding to young people the way an immune system might respond to a foreign body.
