This story is incredible. Someone with a podcast should interview you all!

Base salary of $200K or more is definitely achievable for senior (level 5 or higher) engineers at big name companies in SF. I have friends who recently changed jobs so I know this for certain.

That said, the stock offers were excellent as well, sometimes more than salary.

Have you read "Trust Me, I'm Lying" by Ryan Holiday?

While he was working at American Apparel, he figured out that while it was expensive to advertise directly on major news sites, etc, it was fairly easy to figure out what smaller sites were the real "influencers." By advertising or promoting material there, he got coverage on larger blogs for a fraction of the price.

agreed. Also the only person I've seen successfully live-code in a presentation without screwing up or boring the audience.

I generally agree, but there are definitely exceptions. The most impressive I've seen is Haoyi Li parsing a decent chunk of Haskell using his FastParse library in ~10 minutes: https://youtu.be/mARO-qchsKM?t=2386

there was a lot of bold, revolutionary thinking in the early days of crypto, and definitely a lot of naivety. There still is, but the realities of the world have tempered it a bit.

but yeah, basically.

The difference here is that the DAO was openly asserting the claim that it would surpass the need for lawyers and the legal system. That software-enforced contracts were all you needed.

Traditional software makes no such claim.

MBP have supported 2 5k monitors since late 2016: https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/27/4k-and-5k-displays-with-new-m...

Also Slack

Mormons throw a wrench in this theory. Utah is the #7 fittest state, and people don't drink, smoke cigarettes or smoke weed.

Go all in on ethereum.

true, but there's definitely a resurgence of local ginger ale/beer that contains alcohol: http://smalltownbrewery.com/our-beers/ginger-ale/ for example

Though these are at beer level.

Kombucha often contains a low (< 1%) amount of alcohol.

The paleo people, in fact, do think they're unhealthy: https://paleoleap.com/beans-and-legumes/ http://www.marksdailyapple.com/beans-legumes-carbs/

In what way did Java go that road? Java doesn't impose any constraint on location across projects.

jsonb_set is available now in postgres 9.5: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/functions-json.ht...

Nobody goes there anymore -- it's too crowded.

Sort of unrelated, but any suggestions for experienced backend developer who wants to get into VR? I'm working on learning 3D graphics and c++, but could use a bit of direction.

Is *mostly even true?

Given the list of restrictions here: http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/value-classes.html

It seems to me that you'd have to be fairly careful to have any confidence your not instantiating classes for them.

Do you know if there are any compiler flags or other way to know if your value classes are working as expected?

I've suspected this for years now. I hate talking on the phone now -- I always feel like I'm straining to understand people.

This is cool, but might actually decrease attendance. I've been in some IMAX seats I definitely would not have bought if I'd known how acute the screen angle would be.

I wonder if theaters will be interested.

My entire office of 100 people has 90% 15" MBP, and 10% 13" MBP. There might be one or two managers with Air's or the new Macbook.

Which still doesn't prove anything, of course. Just saying my experience doesn't align with yours. A survey would be interesting.

"Mean maximal hand-grip strength showed the expected clear difference between men (541 N) and women (329 N). Less expected was the gender related distribution of hand-grip strength: 90% of females produced less force than 95% of males. Though female athletes were significantly stronger (444 N) than their untrained female counterparts, this value corresponded to only the 25th percentile of the male subjects."

I totally agree that a huge part of who we are is our nurturing, but your claims that there are NO innate differences don't really seem to hold.

Have you seen this case that many college psychology courses cover? http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/files/gender_reassign...

+1. I use this nearly every day.

I say this only partly in jest: severance == paid vacation, ex-twitter == immediate new job.

What a shame it would be if he'd removed it. Pyspark now makes great use of lambdas, and I'd strongly argue that having to name every function argument would be strictly worse.

I believe the point was if you like your cleaner, you could contract with them directly the next time. Of course, there's probably some protection from going through the service, so not entirely true.

Facebook seems to be managing with 1k+ developers and 50+ MLoc (https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabflavor/article/recom...).

I'm not entirely convinced either, but the argument isn't without success stories.

I disagree. They lost a lot of credibility here.
