Hiring: The First Librarian of Congress for the Internet Age
This is to be expected when the working environment gets as cut-throat as the American workplace has become. Blame it on inequality, blame it on the puritanical drive to overwork, blame it on the zeal to squeeze every last bit of profit. It's just one other symptom of how anyone who is not an oligarch in this society is meant as an expendable resource to be crushed by the ubermensch.

My only hope is that the USA fails to export its brand of moral decrepitude to the rest of the world. Europe should stay civilized, for the sake of its people.
If you set up your network using radius, this becomes a non-issue radius is not horribly hard to set up either - its also not automatic, the user has to choose to share the wifi password - which they could do anyhow, as you've given it to them to connect.

> I would expect absolutely no change at all. If you're able to ignore science, then why believe that a robot is actually on Mars anyway.

You don't need to go that far. I don't think many creationists question whether we have a robot on Mars, or many other scientific claims that don't involve the distant past. I see no reason why extraterrestrial life has any incompatibilities with creationism, apart from the already-existing incompatibilities between scientific consensus and creationism (namely, the age of the Earth and evolution by natural selection).
I learned from John Graham-Cumming's O'Reilly video series. When I reviewed some of the Go books, I was frustrated by code samples with so many "we'll get to this later" parts. John's videos had a good pace, thoroughly explained concepts, and prepared me to write real code. The only downside was that they were expensive - if you are able to expense them, I highly recommend the videos.
I have to say: working in a civil work environment makes a huge difference in terms of job satisfaction and job performance. Civility works for the business, the worker, and the customer. Nobody really benefits from incivility except for the arrogant power-monger over the very short term.

It still comes down to $$ vs. time. There's a lot of stuff I'd be happy to dump on a store at a theoretical 50 cents on the dollar vs. a private sale rather than dealing with a bunch of individual transactions. I might feel differently once transactions got into the hundreds of dollars but I don't generally want to deal with Craigslist or eBay for selling. Just too much trouble.

> Give your neighbor your Wi-Fi password and they can share it with hundreds of their friends automatically.

Give your neighbor your Wi-Fi password, and they can trumpet it on the streets, distribute on pamplets, post it on HN, and update their Facebook status with it.

I am a little shocked at the HN reaction here. I've had a Windows Phone since January and I've thought the feature was not only useful, but a great idea. The only benefit for me has been the automatic TOS acceptance though since nobody else I know has a Windows Phone.

If you're running a "secure" wireless network and don't want anyone else to use it, well, don't give anybody you don't trust the password, and make sure they're not running services like Wi-Fi Sense. Generally speaking, the common man is going to want any of his friends he lets into his house onto his Wi-Fi anyway.
From my personal experience, I agree on the stress caused by uncivil workspace...especially if the boss is uncivil. I used to get thoughts of suicide when I was working for a boss in a job right out of college and my health declined a lot. It was not until I changed my job that I saw a huge difference in civil and uncivil workspace and its effect on life.

> I merely said the specific statistic used to argue this is a poor one.

No, you claimed, "All that statistics says is a lot of people have debt."

It does not say any such thing. The fact you can choose a contrived set of figures to match the median wealth figures doesn't mean that those figures are representative in any way of the actual distribution of wealth in the world. They certainly are not.

Your claim that the value of the median is mostly due to debt is flat out wrong. Your claim that possession of $150 puts your wealth above 50% of the planet is flat out wrong.

Your claim that Median(x) > $150 does not imply cumsum(x) > $150 is correct, assuming you don't know the distribution. One out of three ain't bad, I guess.

Ah, but it's a per-user secret, not per-device. So each user needs a keypair which gets shared across all of their devices, transparently but also in a way that protects the private key from MS. Which sounds an awful lot like the original problem of sharing secret WIFI passwords without MS being able to read them...

I agree that it must be do-able, it's just tricky to make it work transparently and simply so every user benefits.

I think my 'phone' experience peaked at the Sony Ericsson M600i, fantastic keyboard on it, nice screen, mp3 and stuff. And yeah, a week of battery life.
Now I have a n5 whose screen broke by itself one day (I swear!). I put it down, came back an hour later and it had a a crack. Oh and battery life is one day at best.

I've been wondering for a while who actually decide to make these stupid smartphones. I mean, i don't play, I need a reasonable resolution for a couple of webpages /now and then/ and email.. and otherwise I need a good phone... The last few years you get phones that have WAY more pixels than you'll ever need, sucky battery, and the worst bit is, these phone are barely able to work as ... phones!

I bet it's the same office that decided that 16:9 screens were a fantastic idea...

The United States is the way it is because this is the only way to survive within the framework of competitive capitalism. European attempts at cultural protectionism will fail as market pressures force them to adopt American customs and habits.

This is just basic economics. American companies ruthlessly optimize for profit. Any attempt to optimize for anything else will take away from the potential for profit. In a global economy this means that profitable companies will beat out nice companies, and eventually "nice" company shareholders will force restructuring according to American ideals.

I would also say that based on existing trends the United States is quite rapidly succeeding at bringing its way of life to the rest of the world. There are no more competing ideologies left, and the next few years will lead to more trade agreements that will mop up the remains of protectionism. Soon, English will be mandated as a first language in most of the world, and we'll have a truly globalized culture.
That was seriously cool. Many tech companies could learn much from them in terms of customer support. I understand that for these guys this is the product, but still, if you have awesome customer support, it will get you more business.
I've noticed this too back when I ran a lot. The trick I use when this starts to happen is to tense my thigh and abdominal muscles.

There was thing somewhere (Internet!) that the number one reason people switch jobs is because of their relationship with their manager.

I agree with you. Happiness is hugely a function of said relationship.
But this is not applying an idea from one area to another area -- it's taking the pre-existing idea and just applying it again. There isn't any novelty here.

Sony certainly tried.
You'd need the box to block gravity, and have a way of letting only your single photon pass through the box to interact with the system. Otherwise the star's position would have already been measured by past light being deflected.

The two photon paths would not interfere with each other. The injected photon's resulting position is entangled with the star's position, meaning you could tell which leg of the interferometer the photon had taken by later opening the star box, so it acts analogous to putting a detector on one arm of an interferometer and you get no self-interference.
but to the extent that you pass out and/or collapse? again and again? each race?

I see your point, and having clearance from a doctor helps argue against my concerns that's for sure.
This is a very odd story. When other runners finish the race, they stop and have a drink. When she finishes she is carried like a resurrected messiah by her entourage who then fawn over her while she wakes up. People are complicated... I would be wondering if there was an element of secondary gain and abnormal psychology in this behaviour. That she wants to study medicine to cure NCS is another read flag for abnormal illness behaviour.

I also wouldn't clear her to run if she collapses every time - I mean if she falls and dies from a freak head injury, and she had fallen the same way in the last 50 races, how can the doctor defend themselves? It's just common sense. She should at least wear a crash helmet.

Putting it as "sabotage" is a bit too dramatic in my opinion. Say Mary walks her boss Tom through filing the necessary documentation every time they put a product on the market (even though it is really his job), and Tom always takes the credit if the product hits the market. This pisses off Mary because she is never acknowledged.

Now suppose when releasing Product Z, Mary says "Um, do it yourself. It's your job.", Tom fucks up the documentation, and the product tanks. I don't think Mary is a saboteur in this case at all -- she is just not being nice and going "above and beyond" like usual.

I suspect this sort of thing is what the article is referring to, and what occurs in the majority of cases.
Sure, I see that. I'm all for empowering oneself that's for sure.

Setting aside my snark, there's no doubt that she is courageous, ambitious and clearly successful.
That theory is unlikely to gain traction among the public at this point in time. Even with the much-publicised example of an intelligence community insider exfiltrating data and then traveling to both China and Russia, it's considered uncouth and irresponsible to suggest that those nations have any intelligence assets in the U.S.
It'd be more user friendly if 'prev' and 'next' button are next to each other. I had fun using this!
I have a bit of inside knowledge of the subject having worked for UPS and been out during Christmas time delivering packages. Here is what happens:

Drivers get in trouble if they miss a commit time. To avoid getting in trouble, they will scan the package and mark it as delivered - which results in the delivery status being updated. When they make the actual delivery, they will not scan the package (because it's already left the driver's possession according to the earlier scan).

All package tracking is done based on scans/events. Some of those scans are of the actual package (like above), others are based on inheritance (a trailer containing 500 packages leaving San Francisco will show that data replicated down to each of the packages). UPS only publicizes a portion of the tracking data to its customers - there are events captured at a much more granular level of detail that you can usually get out of CSRs if you call and inquire.

Sure --- I can see that for sure. It sounds like an awful condition and anything one can do to gain some feeling of control, or overcoming limitations, I can see that.
sure!

but I'm not sure what that has to do with my comments or anything else.

But yes I 100% totally agree with your statement.
I think the reason it doesn't count as a measurement is that the the gravitational effects are so weak the no-far-off-particle and yes-far-off-particle outcomes overlap substantially.

You start with a cross-section of where a "measurer" particle might be, and if the far-off "to-be-measured" particle is present its gravity shifts the cross-section of the measurer particle's position very slightly, but there's still a lot of overlap with the original cross-section. A proper measurement would have nearly no overlap, instead of almost complete overlap.
I'm of the opinion that if you're relying on semver for automated depenency management (like npm), you're doing it horribly wrong.

Pin your dependencies to specific versions, read changelogs and make informed decisions.

Don't rely on someone bumping patch versions correctly to keep your software stable.

Or it doesn't. It could easily lie on the culture. Or the ones with the power to change things more easily.

But whatever. I guess you read your tea leaves and divined the nature of human responsibility from reality itself, so there's no reason to think about it or anything.

I don't really understand why magic is that innovative. If you are a guy like Justin Kan you can pay(already have) an assistant to do all of these things for you with a higher degree of accountability and a lower threshold of friction. It was fun wading through Kan's experience spending an average Americans salary simply to test drive a new iphone app, and that illustrates why magic probably won't appeal to the average American.
That is a very simplistic world view. Have you ever been to Europe? Central and northern Europe are very successful economically. I know several people that once worked for an american firm, and won't ever do so again. I have never heard that about swiss, swedish or german firms.

16:9 is an economy trick, less pixels, more profit, with a 'cinemascope' marketing flavour.

You're not the first to think that about the current uber slim phablet fad. But the market is flooded and people will buy what is buy-able. There's a tiny market for "traditional" phones design. Too tiny to re-emerge in my saddened opinion. Maybe when the OS/UX trend goes away and people will actually want functional and sturdy devices instead of cute swipe-machines.
Employee happiness is absolutely relevant to P&L. Happy employees are more productive and have less turnover.

I grew up middle class in middle America and it's not just the SF tech scene I've made my career in; I grew up in a world of company picnics and "4 10s" work weeks. Also, layoffs and plant closures. I'm not naive to the nature of American business, I just have inclusive opinions about how companies can be run profitably. And doubly so in tech.
