Developers often undercharge for various reasons. And as demand rises with the developer shortage, it's likely developers won't raise their rates fast enough to follow demand.What should developers fees be to meet demand, and how much should they increase every period to follow demand?
I have been thinking Go might be a good choice for a websocket proxy, like node.js is used in Juggernaut (http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/80/).
WSGI doesn't support it (http://librelist.com/browser//flask/2010/9/1/flask-and-webso...). gevent is an option (http://blog.pythonisito.com/2011/07/gevent-zeromq-websockets...), but would something like Mongrel2 be better (http://mongrel2.org/)?
UPDATE: There's also Juggernaut (http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/80/), which uses node.js under the hood.
What prevents owners from keeping the games close or trading wins/losses now to help a storyline in exchange for markers for future wins when they're on a championship track?
While it is illegal to fix sporting events for gambling purposes, evidently you can fix sports for entertainment purposes. The All 22 footage would make this more difficult because this type of stuff would be easier for fans to detect.
And are emails manually approved before they go out? If so, does that mean a Facebook employee looks at the data source that triggered email, which in some cases may be the user's private messages?
A few weeks ago I had a situation where Facebook contacted me about a job, and it appeared that Facebook may have been reading (or at the least mining) private messages related to my startup (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3035376). A Facebook employee replied to the thread but wouldn't provide details.
In the early days of Google/PageRank, the SEO world was abuzz with talk of Google's reputation score for each website, and everyone eagerly awaited the Google update to see how the scores changed.
Leaving parts out so they can provide input and fill in the gaps is a way of guiding them down the path -- you're essentially manufacturing buy-in.
So Jobs, rather than waste time trying to figure out what makes every Apple employee tick (which wasn't a practical option considering Apple's size), he instituted a culture of fear and awe. This is akin to him wearing the same black turtleneck every day because he didn't want to waste brain cycles figuring out what to wear.
Moreover there have been several politically-beneficial wins in the last 10 years -- the Patriots winning the Super Bowl after 911, the Saints winning it after Katrina, the Jets winning this year's Sunday night opener on the 10th anniversary of 911, in a metaphorical come-from-behind victory -- did you see how that game went down?
In the Jets game, Romo literally had to throw the game away in the 4th to lose it, and then his reputation was restored the next two weeks after two dramatic, media-hyped come-from-behind victories while playing with broken ribs and a punctured lung.
The NFL's lawyers stated the NFL competes in the "entertainment marketplace" (http://judiciary.senate.gov/hearings/testimony.cfm?renderfor...) and operates as a single entity, not as 32 teams.
For example, owners might trade wins/losses now to help a storyline in exchange for markers for future wins when they're on a championship track.
As soon as I hit send I was hit with the impulse that I shouldn't have sent those kind of details over FB messaging -- thinking back to warnings such as (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cdrCYrZIvI).
And sure enough a day and half later I received an email from a Facebook recruiter wanting to talk to me about a job.
Normally that would be fine, but the timing is so suspect. I asked around if anyone had heard of FB mining/reading users messages, and no was certain but reminded me that the FB privacy policy states that they own your data and an ex-FB employee said that many engineers have access to the DB.
Does FB mine or read user messages, and why doesn't it do more to prevent so many engineers from having access to the DB?
