Programmer for Citigroup here, Computer Science and Financial Engineering major- At citigroup, entry level programmers are paid just as much as entry level business analysts. In a large company, no one needs "great" programmers. They really

I disagree. After only a brief runthrough of Go, the different types of statements are very recognizable line by line. The sytax includes less obvious breaks and parens, but I think that makes the code a lot more readable because it elimina

I think many facebook users complain that facebook doesn't resemble a real social network enough, and in many ways, I'm glad it doesn't. This author doesn't like that he hears from a lot of people he doesn't talk to much, and to me, that ki

Something tells me you benefit a lot from copyright being abolished, and that in many ways lots of musicians would suffer. Do you think it's possible that you don't value copywrite law nearly as much as an artist would because their music w

You need to take some time and think about whether you have the right to impose a system upon musicians. There was a time when people did not believe in free speech. Free speech is an ideology. A widespread ideology, but one nonetheless. Yo

I'm glad you're willing to risk the income of musicians everywhere on this theory of yours. And you know what, I really don't support SOPA, and I know that the system is broken, but it astounds me that so many people on HN will openly claim

I meant stealing from an artist due to sheer I-don't-give-a-fuck-erry. And you have no right to decide for an artist that they simply need to provide their hard work to the "pay if I feel like it" system. Is that your right? Do you think th

by donnyg107 15y ago
That is not for you to choose. If the artist wants you to give as a token of your affection, they can, but for now, you have no right to decide that you need not pay for their work until they've earned your affection. This is in no way a so

If you're comfortable not stealing the products that you don't "feel good paying for" then go right ahead, only pay for the products you feel good paying for. But if you're saying that it's cool to just steal the work and effort of a produc

So you're saying that we only REALLY want the products to which we would chritably throw cash? so when I buy coke at the grocery store, it's because I want to charitably contribute to the coca-cola company's artful soda recipe? And when I d

To put no blame on either side, as the only attempts I've seen on this ground involve louis CK and some small-time dubsteppers, what of the music industry's effective monopoly and set-without-alternative pricing? Not many artists have the r

Both of these posts are completely opposite to what the system of production should be. OBVIOUSLY we would see the apple design as intelligent, and obviously thats how we think intelligent tablets should look now that they have been establi

Agreed. And even further, Jony's ability to deliver a keynote tastefully does not indicate to me that he shares Job's talent for vision and taste.

I like the new structuring. I find it interesting to note that these SVPs are people who may become VCs and the tech superpowers when they leave google. IF they leave google.

I think that this whole process is completely natural. At this point in the VC game, investors will really only trust the most experience VCs with their money. And it's possible that soon, small VCs with small initial capital and much more

I had expected for this to be the HTC in Taiwan, but this is also a good development. Now that many tech firms feel more loyal to industries due to the ease of connection on the internet, its nice to see companies showing real productive lo

I love when companies move back to their purer roots. I don't know where this puts Google's progress as a company over the next few years, but it definitely means we won't be seeing the innovation slowdown that Microsoft experienced after t

A lot of the guidance I find in posts like this reminds me of the book "Good to Great" by Jim Collins. His analytical approach to identifying an excellent CEO is regularly confirmed by posts like this one. I highly recommend it for new CEOs

I think I'd need a larger data set to know anything for sure. I'm not one to scold for humor and bits of play on the site, but I think what sets us apart from reddit and those God-forsaken 4chan users is that we do not have a culture of hum

Think long term adjustment to the mentality of the site. If that link was worth something, why would the buyer just give it away? It's possible that the buyer would try to sell it and compete with the original seller, and all subsequent buy

If this becomes a high traffic site, it could really help fight internet piracy. If I have a high demand, hard to find video, I'm far more likely to try to sell it than just give it away. And even if I can't because the site is closely watc

I think this was posted a few days ago, but it has led to a mildly interesting discussion so I have no issue with it.
