Overall, I really liked this article, and I appreciate not just the strategy but that it encourages people to start thinking about different strategies.

A few things that may or may not be nitpicks… first, can you really practice law in every jurisdiction with an LLM? I was under the impression that this is only true of some states. I may read up more on this. Also, I believe Germany does allow dual citizenship under some circumstances - I think if you're not German and acquire German citizenship, you can keep the old one, but not the other way around - again, if this would affect you in any way, well, I hope you'd research beyond someone's semi-informed comment on the internet ;).

As a side-topic, I was intrigued by some of the recent all-online JD degrees offered in the US. There were a few articles on this a while back.

http://abovethelaw.com/career-files/the-best-online-law-scho...

These degrees are absolutely not elite, though St Francis seems at first glance to have a decent student body. I think the approach can work for a certain type of law career. I don't think this would be advisable for the 23 year old history major with no real skills or work experience other than a law degree - that person would want to get the most elite degree possible. But the story about the mid career structural engineer who discovered he was offering as much legal as engineering advice (liability for building codes, etc), and who has a head council job lined up once bar member ship is achieved, sure, an on line degree probably makes perfect sense.

Native Advertising: What is it?
Humans don't naturally form hierarchies. At least I don't always look to an authority figure to tell me what to do. I usually want independence and creative space, along with the advice and aid of knowledgeable colleagues. I chafe under the yoke of arbitrary authority.

But maybe I'm not human.
Good point. Though rematerialization is still pretty rare considering the entire universe of compilers (e.g. Academic projects like Ocaml was).
First off that was a fascinating read. Thanks.

> I would say that the Vita is the most secure consumer embedded device that's out today

It's really disappointing in some ways. The PSP made for a great portable media/emulation platform and the additional power of the Vita would have been welcome for those purposes. But it's buttoned up incredibly tight, so mine just sits as a paperweight because there are very few Vita games that interest me.

In a sense we already literally do: the only working exploits (that I know of, it's been a while since I checked) involve the PSP emulator on the system. So you have the same activity insofar as you can run the exact same homebrew :P
Yeah, I was always under the impression that ocamlopt is fairly Plan 9-like; it produces medium quality code quickly, and doesn't have the full suite of compiler optimizations that projects like LLVM or HotSpot have.

Yes. Some species of Ant domesticate fungii, there are crabs that cultivate bacteria and there are fish that farm Algae (damselfish).
This is so true, and victims of bullying especially have a problem with this. It helps to realize that the problems is often also the cause, because bullies choose their victims. In a work environment, a kit is probably a good idea, but you'll see people who can't stand up for themselves regardless of circumstance, even when the risk is non-existent. It also has a lot to do with standards and how high or low your standards are for how you should be treated. Too high or too low and there is a price to be paid.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. Unions played a role most certainly, but so did some industrialists like George Johnson. I believe the term is welfare capitalism.

But yes, the 40 hour work week was definitely put in place to ensure people weren't just worked to the bone and then discarded.

I agree with the diagnosis, but there's something important that's omitted here: the point of a startup is to create the type of large business that PG is advising against joining. The entire point of a startup is exponential growth. A company that stays small is generally derided as a "lifestyle business" and Silicon Valley investors seemingly have absolutely no interest in funding that sort venture, even if it's more sustainable for most people.
Yes. Minomonsters is one example of several.

We use that term at my company pretty frequently, although I'd just heard it less than a year ago. Seems to be making the rounds.
Kindness is so so so underrated. If one needs an excuse to be kind, they are already an asshole. And those who stick around horrible people need to realize that those people suffer greatly for how they behave even if they deny it. In startups especially. A leader that lacks integrity and lacks a heart does not deserve any loyalty, and if you're giving it, you need to consider the possibility that you are victim of a bully.

I also love the conclusion of original article:

Given the enormous cost of incivility, it should not be ignored. We all need to reconsider our behavior. You are always in front of some jury. In every interaction, you have a choice: Do you want to lift people up or hold them down?
On the contrary, that is one of the primary roles of a development manager.
I wonder if part of it (besides keeping positions open just to see what is out there) is that companies can use job openings as analytic data. you find information that re-affirms how much you should be paying employees, expectations of employee turn over, and more interestingly what the competition is doing.

I mean, imagine I am google, I fain interest in a job posting to get some facebook employees to apply. I even give them an interview. between the resume, cover letter, and interview I might be able to get lots of information on what projects facebook is working on and then just turn down the candidate after 3 interviews and say: google is quirky, if one person dont like you, you dont get in no matter how good you think it went.
I've stayed away from Showterm because it relies on a big rat's nest of Ruby deps. Looks like this one is written in Go, which is convenient.
It's not even "when you will come to the US". It's when will you come to Silicon Valley. The rest of the US is considered inferior in S.V. from the community here. We live in a global economy. You can build your company where it suits you best. There are many quality investors all over the world. Good Luck.
Of course large labels can handle this. Small artists that rely on month-to-month revenue to live suffer when they have to give their product away for 3 months. If you give away swag at an event to promote your business with your logo, I bet you still paid the manufacturers and printers and shippers and...

And this isn't a "new" business opportunity. It's very likely many subscribers will come Spotify or Rdio or other service, so it isn't a full net plus. Revenue from other avenues will go down.

I hope so. But the cynic in me thinks think there won't be as much work because now most people who would work on homebrew games and emulators are now coding for smartphones and tablets. However, by getting an open sdk started and releasing a public exploit for developers (honestly it's not user friendly enough for everyone), I'm hoping the scene will finally get a jump start.
That is interesting. When I read technical manuals I prefer them in print, when I read for pleasure (lately) I have been reading digital. I am not sure if this is conditioning from college or something else, but my experience is in line with your comment.
As this simply wraps a web view, and doesn't really add anything more than what Safari does, isn't the odds of it ever being accepted by the App Store very small?

That's cool. I chatted with a friend about this too and they said they've used SecurityManager in this way. But one thing they said is that SecurityManager can't be used to restrict things like accessing the current time. Do you know if that's true or not?

The thing is that while the implementation of the fake can get ugly, that's effectively library code that's written once - the actual application code is incredibly clean since all you have to do to it is tag it as being World instead of IO.

Likewise, for tests, the actual interface in practice is clean - we have a few fake-World-only setup functions, and when testing things like the database we can just use the regular insert interface to do our setup.

Curious to understand... what's the point of getting 1% of any sale of something that wouldn't be there to sell in the first place had you not created it? I find it really hard to believe that labels guarantee you'll get over 100 times the amount of sales that you'd get without them. Do they?
Piracy was never look at as a real crime. The "Home Taping Is Killing Music" campaign wouldn't have been launched if piracy was generally equated with a crime in society.

To me the end result would be simple: The average user would have to pay more for their content

People aren't exactly burning the money they would have otherwise spend on such content; they aren't going to stop paying their rent because they have less free music. The discretionary income of the median person is simply not that high, and a rich person won't start buying hundreds of albums to make up for the ones the working class can't afford.

And people listening to less music instead of pirating may be more just or moral or whatever, but it doesn't pay the artists' bill anymore than piracy does.

I may be old school - I pay for things, I am happy to pay for things.

I, on the other hand, am new school, part of a generation with 25%+ unemployment and many more in precarious jobs. It's not that we don't like to pay for things - it's that's often simply not an option.

If SOPA had passed, we would've just go back to sneakernet sharing.
Well, I disagree, but it's subjective so you're entitled to your opinion. That said, the decision about whether or not to use metrics in the first place is also a subjective assessment by your manager.
3 JavaScript Libraries to Keep an Eye on in 2015
Sure. What I wanted to say is just, that you can create a measurement for low-quality posts through dividing the number of flags and/or downvotes the post got by the average number the other posts had had. Take the inverse of that product and you have a nice factor that approaches 0 for low-quality posts and 1 for high quality posts.

I chose a simple example, but of course you could use a more appropriate statistical method, apply a logarithm afterwards or just choose a threshold and reward only posts with 0.9 to 1.

Edit: I just realized I made a mistake. Of course, posts do not have downvotes. Flags would still work, but to a lesser extend, I guess. There has to be another method to identify low-quality posts. Maybe some measurement based on the number of comments, their upvotes and so on. That would get really complex, because these metrics again would have to be ungameable.
Agreed, the time invested to learn how to make objects such as shown in Powerpoint would be better spent learning to use Illustrator or Gimp. The results would be much more useable across different media as well.
I'm not debating that iterating over a vector is faster than iterating over a linked list, I'm asking where this guy has seen linked lists become "exotic". I'd love to dive into that code, because I've actually spent a lot of time implementing parallel arrays vs linked lists or arrays of structs, it would be nice to see how folks have addressed the pain points like sorting in constant space...

This is similar to the complaint you hear from startups in Hong Kong: it's hard to find funding because all wealthy people in Hong Kong made their wealth in real estate.
I esp. like the plausible deniability hack against bruteforce, the second to last story.

But realistically most cyphers were hacked with some plain text knowledge, esp. in the header/beginning, which would defeat this bruteforce claim.
But it would work with random text and without an AI which can derive a security context automatically. But apparently this exists. So you'd need to encode your text twice, first by using only innocent words, and using something like this link-grammar encode again.

Well, I think it depends on the content of the application. If you take your website and straight up drop it into this, it will probably be rejected.

If you build something that fetches train times, or a game like 2048, then you have an iOS app that just happens to be built in HTML.

Honestly from the point of view it's pretty good for consumers. Making her album paid-only would have improved the conversion-to-premium rate, whereas making her album free increases active users. I guess they opted for more users, maybe to look more attractive for more funding?
Interesting theory. Seems to makes sense if that company (Acumium) is specialized in online marketing. But the articles dont seem to really do much in terms of useful change. Also, it does it on all content. Not targeted.

Also, I dont see a reason for the wp-login to be in Vietnamese? And why would both mirrors' domain WHOIS link to existing people, one being 'famous'?

And it feels like there are just too many oddities (see my other comment) for it to just be some way to obfuscate/manipulate Google results?

Also, its still running. The article I found it through was very recent. Judging from the difference in timestamps on articles between the copies and the real site it seems something deliberate is being done.

ps; The site actually came up when I looked up the assistant chief of police of Detroit and added something like the word 'retard' haha. After watching a video statement by this guy I thought he couldnt possibly be qualified to be the 2nd in command on a police force in a city like that. Of course I was wrong.

Precisely. We're talking about a company with $200 billion in cash reserves asking artists - many independent and hardly famous - to subsidize their marketing efforts.
My understanding is that gradual typing, indeed all of the interesting cases considered here, can be well understood through the introduction of an `Any` type to the normal typed language. A contract is then a coercion `Any -> Maybe t` for some subtype of `Any`, `t`, which is being demanded.

The interesting technology thus is the "injection" `t -> Any` which is universally valid but appears to have its own contract attached as well which attempts to prevent a consume of such an `Any` from using the type `t` incorrectly.

Well, in most situations, prices are set IN PART by the market. Usually common decency is involved as well (ie: the minimum wage).

Regardless of legitimacy of the current government in Ukraine, which was democratically elected by now, even ignoring that, the actual agreed upon border of Ukraine has been breached by a foreign nation without provocation or aggression on the part of Ukraine. It's hard to argue that regardless of the current state of Ukrainian politics, this deserves action under that original agreement.

Think about it, after this, who would ever be stupid enough to give up nuclear weapons on the promise of US or UK?

My sense is production companies / studios are a risky investment, but infrastructure (twitch.tv being the prime example) are more of a lucrative target for VCs.

The studio risk is that the creative output of the individuals is the value you're investing in. Very few studios produce quality content in a machine like fashion, though there are exceptions (EA maybe? Lucas Arts in it's prime?).

Zynga might be another example of a VC funded "gaming" company.
> On what possible basis could anyone consider that appropriate?

Not a US citizen here, but I think the reason is that a US citizen has more privileges than someone else: it's easier to travel and get a work permit abroad, if something goes badly they are still under protection of the US government, etc.

This is due to the fact that USA are the most powerful country on Earth, and one of the reasons for that is its military power, which is very expensive.

So the US citizen residing somewhere else would still have to pay their share to be protected by their country.

Not saying that I completely agree but I think it's a valid reason.
