I am a decent programmer but not exceptional, but when you read my resume you will see that I am a child prodigy - and that is done without any lying at all just selective highlighting facts.
Why France's startup ecosystem may have just had its best week
This attitude is so wring, and hearing it so many times has contributed to my perceptions of myself as a shit engineer.

There are plenty of good engineers like myself who are at times actively or semi-actively looking for a job. I'm in Dallas, and I have a lot of hot keywords associated with myself that are not my core competency. What that means is over 90% of the jobs I get approached about are inappropriate, sometimes wildly. I only get approached by the highly active recruiters, since so many seem to have limited geographical areas and I am not in a position to network with non-recruiting people. These recruiters frequently misinterpret or misunderstand my background.

Thus, I am forced to actively apply to openings if I want something new. Hearing things like this gives me the impression that I will be viewed as inferior just because I had to stoop to the level of applying like the rest of the plebs.
so right I rember the boss of a supermarket chain complaining about quality of candidates some one needs to take them aside and say your a "jumped up grocer" you don't get to employ Oxbridge first's to work on the checkouts.
Nice usage of the word 'confiscatory'. My experience with people who use this word in relation to taxation is that they use it in derogatory sense and is used primarily by conservatives and libertarians. I don't know if that is the case for you. What do you consider the optimal corporate tax rate? You said 10% is high enough. Do you think it should be 0%?

If you are in the libertarian and/or conservative branch of U.S. politics why do you look to other countries' tax rates for guidance on what our tax rates ought to be? I have been under the impression that looking to other countries for guidance on our social policy is bad and contrary to the notion of exceptionalism.

The U.S. uniquely, I believe, considers corporations persons. Hence the Citizens United decision. Given this shouldn't the tax rate on these citizens be the same as on other citizens with like earnings?
But once Apple's service starts, the costs to develop it are already paid. Therefore it's a sunk cost, and we don't need to consider it here. ...right?

I'll let Schneier answer that, in case you didn't read the article:

The problem is that the quality is better than most people's expertise on the subject. Back when there were no articles on some subjects, many could make a contribution because many knew more than nothing about the subject.

Apple Music does offer a number of features over Spotify:

a) Siri. With the existing Music app I can tell Siri to play a particular artist or playlist. I would expect far deeper integration.

b) Watch. The Music app is native, has a glance.

c) Desktop. Spotify client on the desktop is slow and clunky. iTunes on the Mac is anything but.
But they don't only sync page numbers, but also written annotations (and bookmarks and highlights).

And regarding battery life, even a CPU much weaker than the one used by the original Kindle can encrypt at 1MB/s, so encrypting a couple of KB is absolutely negligible.

Indeed, the fact that they are moving apart at superluminal speeds is exactly why they have never been causally connected. The fact that such non-causally connected islands still "look the same" is called the horizon problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_problem), and it is one of the issues that Guth's inflation might solve (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation_(cosmology)#Horizon_...).

Did you purposely take my quote out of context to make your answer seem correct? I specifically said that iOS users can't download a song from the web or a 3rd party app and add it to their music library like they can on Android. On Android, I can download a song while out on the go from anywhere I want and add it to my music library. Every app can add music, every app can play music. Can you do that on iOS... or do you have to go back to your home computer, add the song to your computer, add it to your iTunes library and then sync it to your iPhone/iPad? The last time I helped a friend do this, this is what we had to do.
Yeah I get this feeling that 90% of the people I see and hear are just running a facade...And sometimes I get a glimpse of that...and it feels really good to know I'm not a fake.
What Apple does is simply reprehensible. They say that since they will automatically switch everyone to the new service they are not willing to pay for them. People defending them would be pissed if Google did that with All Access. All services offer free trials and they all pay for the plays the get, and Google even has an offer for 60 days. Apple is rich and it should pay for the mistake of stalling and being a late comer.
I think in some ways, you have a fiduciary responsibility to your shareholders to use reasonable means to maximize the value of your company. It seems to me that includes both operational efficiency and prudent use of available tax breaks.

I'm uncomfortable with the line of reasoning that we "can't do anything until we change the system," but I do wonder how Wall Street would react to a company that decided for moral reasons to avoid the schemes and pay more taxes.
Don't forget FastMail! https://www.fastmail.com/ - we don't make a giant deal about being from Australia since most of our business is from overseas as well.
I'm not sure about your Spotify question, but I believe Taylor Swift pulled all her music from there because they wouldn't agree to making it paid only (referring to their freemium offering and not the trial there). I think that's why beyond this she has so much respect for Apple's offering - they're obviously already an important player and artists want paid - and only paid, streaming.
It's pretty likely she was able to negotiate control over her rights that most artists don't have, since she's one of the few remaining artists that actually sells records: http://www.npr.org/sections/therecord/2014/11/05/361577726/t...
> If you are trying to build a company of any scale at all, yes, everything, if these are the people you hire

i take offense at this sort of attitude, because it implies that the employees are beholden to make _you/the boss_ successful. I imagine that they aren't doing more than what's required because that's what they are paid. I imagine they don't get shares of the company, nor reap the profit if it was successful (and also don't take the risk when it's not).

If a boss tries to make me do more work, but don't offer the equivalent in rewards (which, in my eyes, must be some form of equity and/or profit sharing scheme), then either i won't do it, or will just get by. Unless the company is truly doing something i believe in, or i have something personal, it's not worth it.
> Another thing you notice when you see animals in the wild is that each species thrives in groups of a certain size.

This is another reason why we should really limit companies to a maximum size. Other reasons are that companies should not become too big to fail, and that smaller companies lead to a more modular economy, where one company uses the outputs of several other companies, instead of having a few MegaCorps with an opaque, internal economy.
Yeah, why dont the poor and downtrodden just pay their lobbyists to change the law of the land... what?

If you're doing a substring match, then use a substring function.
At the same time artists (especially indies) have a significant interest in Apple succeeding. If Spotify dominates the market to the exclusion of all others, they will have no pressure to keep artist revenue share competitive. Best case for artists is a multitude of streaming services all competing for the most appealing inventory.

The trick is that only the last school counts.

Who cares that you went to local community college for the AS and Chico State for the BS as long as you did graduate school at Harvard.

The catch is getting from Chico State to Harvard, but it should not be overly difficult if you show outstanding grades and work at BA level.

Anecdotal evidence, a friend/acquaintance of mine got his BA from an Eastern European university for free(actually with stipend) and now is doing Masters/PhD at MIT under a very famous adviser.

So how did he do it? From his first day at the university he must have kept his goal(Masters in US at a good university) in mind.

He aced all his courses(even though I was a bit disgusted how he sometimes squeezed professors to give him the highest grade). He took graduate level courses and aced them. He selected a highly cited prof with US connections as his bachelors thesis advisor and his thesis must have been quite good.

He only networked with people who could possibly help him. Sounds cynical, but he only friended me when he saw that I got good grades too and knew USA university system.

One last catch is same as the German catch you have to know the local language, as most schools do not offer all courses in English.

It's interesting comparing your post with the reaction to widespread cars in the start of the 20th century: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/episode-76-the-modern-...

The horrors of peace appear to be appalling than the horrors of war. The automobile looms up as a far more destructive piece of mechanism than the machine gun. The reckless motorist deals more death the artilleryman. The man in streets seems less safe than the man in the trench. The greatest single lethal factor is the automobile. It left shambles in its wake as it coursed through 1923.

We know how that ended up.
>they're beholden to their funders

This. Once you accept funding, you're working for the money people.

Forget those narratives of heroic freedom. Your situation isn't really all that different to any other corporate environment.

If the money doesn't like you as a founder, you can lose your job (at best) or be back-stabbed out (at worst.)

And if the project isn't viable, it dies anyway. So you're still out of a job.

There's a cultural difference, in that you have more agency at the start. But the script you follow is already written by the surrounding financial culture.

You have no freedom at all to deviate from it - unless you bootstrap.
It's also very possible that Swift doesn't have control over where the other albums appear, since they're from old deals she made before she had much leverage.

Most likely, it's a combination of all three possible explanations: some albums are from old deals she has no control over, others (1989) she wants to make more money on, and she's also disgusted with Apple's treatment of artists and taking a stand.

People don't need a single pure motivation for their actions to be legitimate.
Yes, you're probably right. It disconnects the console i/o from the process fd's, and so the process sits there blocking - and when you fg, the fd's get re-attached and things kick back into place .. while bg'ing the process, I think, re-attaches it to a new thread completely? Ah well, the details are out there somewhere ..
They planned on the backlash too because they get free advertising from some big names in music...but they'll still move forward with the 3-month royalty-free period because most artists will simply roll over.

Recycling has mostly been a farce from the get-go. The only two things that make sense are aluminum and corrugated cardboard. On no economic or ecological basis has all the other paper and plastic recycling made sense.

The blue bin should be for cans and cardboard, and that's it. Everything else is pointless.
>It's much more likely that they cannot figure out from all the complex clauses and sub-clauses councils have.

Well my comment was based more on what I see at semi-public bins. Stuff like people throwing alu foil into bins marked "food waste" & similar complete disregard of even attempting to do it right. You just need one or two people doing that & the entire process can be scrapped.
Exactly, I have seen this at a few companies where the management isn't clear about the responsibilities with the candidate at the time of hiring, only to find out later that the candidate and company has different priorities. I will also add that this is the job of the company to find out the whether the candidate is right fit and not the candidate. The hiring company should be completely transparent about the job responsibilities and work.

Also some management people have completely unrealistic expectations from a hire whose job they hardly understand and with whom they never really talked openly.
This is the funniest :)

Ultra successful acts like Taylor Swift certainly don't just sign some standard contract the record label gives to them, but negotiate every single clause in it, using extremely competent and experienced managers and lawyers.

That's what distinguishes Taylor Swift from 95 percent of acts who maybe negotiate a little thing here and there, but are mostly happy to get signed.
eheheheheheh Bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment. Not calling you a pussie, but what you described is what we see everyday in the world wild web. I suppose it isn't any different on a work setting.
It's actually a bit better than that.

You're suggesting a simple view where you look at the average amount people who subscribe to this (e.g. $10/month) service would have otherwise paid, and that if that number is less than $10/month the devs (/musicians) win. This is certainly true.

However, there's the additional benefit that not every user that subscribes will entirely drop their purchasing habits. Perhaps less often, but some subscribers will buy apps (/music) on top of their subscription.
> A couple different independent artists online have stated that Apple told them this.

Well I am far more likely to take the measured, legally considered statement from Apple over a single independent artist's Twitter posts. Apple would be in a for a world of hurt if they deliberately mislead people.

> Did you purposely take my quote out of context

No. I am an iOS user and half my music collection is from the web. It is completely legitimate to use iTunes to add it to your collection. Otherwise third party apps exist which allow you to download from the mobile web. I am not saying it isn't as flexible as Android but it is disingenuous to say it isn't possible.
Modern tech leaders aren't really like that. Ed Catmull is a good counterexample. It is also worth pointing out that the infamous Steve Jobs had most of his work done by senior contributors like Avie Tevanian who had a completely different character to their leadership.

Serious question: what would we need to change to allow for startup culture to flourish in Australia? I'm genuinely interested - from your ASIN patent I can see you are developing a way of ameliorating issues in sequencing genomes. I have virtually no understanding of DNA, but from reading the first few paragraphs of your patent, it looks like you are one of Australia's innovators!

P.S. You need to fix the patent page on your website. It seems to have been lopped into two columns, and is impossible to read. Just a heads up.
I get the feeling that some of it is deliberate "to annoy the silly greens".
> > So only people with meaningful things to say or build should get noticed and hired?

> ...based on writing essays.

> There are other ways to get noticed and hired.

Whenever hiring discussions come up, the three ways put forward to "get noticed" are personal blog, Github projects, and meetup attendance. None of those avenues work unless you have something meaningful to say or build outside of your day job. Having something meaningful to say or build in your day job seems to be deprecated in this market, because liars.
I was hoping someone would start a popular kickstarter style site for this.

It seems pretty simple to me. If you want your laws changed, pool your money and go lobby the gov't just like every other corporation.

> Doesn't the NSA doesn't operate at such scales? Or is it just that the US doesn't expect adversaries to be as capable?

NSA does. And the USG is well-aware that China and Russia and even Iran could do this too.

So regarding why things were left way at OPM, your guess is as good as mine... I mean "just don't let China hack in" is pretty unachievable (they even got Google a few years back, after all), but at least structure your networks to make it so that hacking one database doesn't give away the keys to everything, move highly-sensitive material off-network completely, etc.

But these things require changes, which requires money (and brainpower), and buy-in from dozens of other government agencies, and probably more things besides.

None of this is to excuse OPM--I would expect my government leaders to suck resources from elsewhere if need be, accept temporary degradation to other systems that interfaced to this personnel database, or in short to _do whatever they had to do to pro-actively address the threat they knew was out there_. And they didn't.

> That's standard procedure for the NSA. No surprise there.

Should be "That's standard procedure for state espionage agencies". I mean, if you're approaching this from the perspective that China is doing this only because NSA is out there you're already misinformed. Half of the reason NSA has been doing this is because Russia and China and friends will be doing things like this anyways.

In China's case especially they drastically re-oriented their entire military and geo-strategic outlook following the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis. This incident occurred between 1995-1996, and culminated in the U.S. sending 2 full carrier strike groups near Taiwan, one of the groups actually sailed through the Strait of Taiwan, sending a pointed message about who had military supremacy in the South China Sea.

The rise in Chinese military power many of spoken of effectively started here... but they didn't limit their buildup to "hard" forms of national power.

Indeed, given the reliance on so much of the global electronics supply chain on Chinese factories there's a lot of opportunity for appearances of SHTF...
Agreed. I'm much, much more amenable to data collection when I can use that data myself however I want.
