For the Fall Semester:

Consensus Systems LLC (ConsenSys) (consensys.net) is a blockchain production studio building decentralized applications, mostly on Ethereum. We are currently building foundational tools for emerging business models in the cryptocurrency or Bitcoin 2.0 space. These tools will be packaged into separate ventures that are individually funded and skinned for different business niches.
We are hiring 5-15 students for our Fall/Winter 2015 internship program. The primary focus will be to build decentralized applications. You will have access to our team with a variety of backgrounds, and you will have opportunities to observe and plug into our other ongoing projects. Preferably, you will work with us at our office in NYC. If there is interest we may coordinate housing in a shared space with other interested interns. The internship period is roughly early September - late December, but dates are negotiable. Since ConsenSys is itself a somewhat decentralized company, with personnel in various cities, remote working interns may be considered. Please apply by sending an email to opportunities@consensys.net with github, work samples, resume, and general interests in the space. If you include a proposal for a dApp, smart contract, or other useful tool you want to build, we may consider the development of that project. If the internship is successful, there is opportunity to continue the project beyond the Fall internship period with additional support.
This is a paid internship.
You're completely correct, and my meaning was to say 100% of the bail, not the bail bond. I originally transposed the meaning of bail and bond in typing my post, and didn't correctly edit it. Obviously the bail bond companies can set their own fees, this is more for the case of people being able to bail themselves out without the need for a bond.
It's amusing to note the hostility towards surface-mounted devices. You don't find that in Shentzen. That may be a Jameco issue. If you use SMDs, you don't get them from Jameco.

I sometimes buy from Jameco, but only because their HQ is about a mile from me and they have will-call. Online ordering is Digi-Key or Mouser.
News is so weird. The top of the article shows a picture of a person sleeping. Sleep is a pretty universal experience; I'm not sure how that image enhances the article =P
I wish the subject of Lisp had come up in the interview. It would go a long way toward countering the negative stereotype Lisp has in many management circles to know more about ITA being probably the greatest commercial Lisp success story in history.
Great question @oconnore. 2 answers.

1. The target price for Ra http://canopyrising.com/#ra is $600-800, just under what you would pay for a 1kw emergency generator. Initial market is apartment renters in flat-roof, multi-floor urban buildings, who can not run generators indoors b/c of fumes, etc.

2. Battery capacity built into the Cuba table http://canopyrising.com/#cuba allows power arbitrage, buying power at the lowest price during off-peak hours to charge up, then drawing from batteries during peak pricing on the grid. In NYC, Conedison sells power for 7-19 cents during the day, but from midnight until 8a, it costs just over a penny. Voluntary time of use programs are common across the country, but few products exist to leverage them. http://www.coned.com/customercentral/energyresvoluntary.asp
Absolutely, I agree. But my point, which I believe underscores the article's, is the people setting the bail amount don't appear to have a true understanding in many cases of the defendant's means.
Yeah, I prefer <picture> for two reasons – being able to gracefully use new image formats and being able to do art-direction type changes using media queries – but the great thing about the polyfill is that you're not forced to pick one.
Your thesis seems to be that landlords have massive pricing power that allows them to exploit people by raising prices. But in most (not all) places it seems like that shouldn't be the case...

- There are many landlords in an area, ranging from large to mom-and-pop's with one unit (ie, lots of competition)
- There's virtually no barrier to entry
- Information is freely available via Craigslist, Zillow, Padmapper, etc
- Switching costs are reasonably low (yeah, it's a pain to move, but it can usually be done for about a month's rent, or cheaper if you do more work yourself)
- There are substitutes readily available, such as renting in a nearby area, larger/smaller/better/worse units, buying a house/condo, moving in with friends/relatives, etc

About all landlords have going for them is that it's a moderately illiquid market (due to year leases), and units are not completely fungible. So this all looks to me like it should be a reasonably efficient market, with landlords having little ability to push prices away from the supply/demand balance. And indeed that what's I remember from renting, and what I've seen from being on the landlord side.

How exactly is it that you think landlords can ignore all of the above and charge unfair rents?

(Note, all of the above only applies for markets that are large enough. If you live in a market with only 3 landlords, then welcome to the oligopoly and prepare to get screwed.)
Bad comments are a system failure
This is pretty cool and interesting, but I'm curious how they can claim purity if they still permit evaluation of code written in Java or other JVM languages, even if the types have to be redeclared. In other words, I'm curious if they are permitting execution of "impure" functions outside of a monad or unsafe function if the type has been redeclared. May have to pull it down and have a look.
I see two challenges for Samsung: first, as far as I know, they've never tried to resell software like this to other smart phone manufactures. Second, if EMV/chip-on-a-card takes hold (with the shift in liability that card issuers are going to do to force their hand in adopting chip readers by Oct 1st), where does that leave Samsung Pay's only advantage over Apple and Android Pay?
"Ignoring is an answer." - Except for when it isn't. Which is more often than not.

Was the message missed? Or possibly they were busy at the time and forgot to respond later?

If the few people I keep in contact with didn't try multiple times to reach me - I'd never talk to anyone. I'm hard to reach because the few methods of contact I have, I largely ignore.

I have a phone in my pocket that, without looking at it, I am willing to bet has 3+ missed calls and at least 4 people waiting over a week for a response to a text message and a sister who probably thinks I am dead because the last time I replied to one of her messages was over a year ago.

The fact that people like me exist runs entirely contrary to your claim and is why an explicit response should be socially necessary. If someone interested in dating me didn't try repeatedly, even if I was "ignoring them", they'd never get anywhere. Because chances are I saw their message, cleared the notification, and forgot to respond.
The weighting won't prevent them from sloshing around due to wave action and getting the upper surfaces wet anyway.
Thanks for using the wonderfully evocative phrase "Penumbra of Fear". Googling the phrase led me to read "Terms of Service" (http://projects.aljazeera.com/2014/terms-of-service), a great read.

And yes, as someone working in the highly regulated finance industry, I know from personal experience that complex laws directly create a penumbra of fear you can't ignore.
Sorry for the tangent - I just realized Bail Bonds companies are just Payday Loans companies that exclusively operate in bail.

I really like it! It seems lightweight, and editing is almost instant.

What i'm not quite sure is what is the subset of available latex commands? Can you use only math formulas or there is also something else?
Yes, I believe the payload have to be tailored pretty much exclusively for each type of device. But, I doubt that would stop anyone trying. Company phones are often the same type and model, someone with a certain target in mind could probably put in the hours.
> is terribly wrong, but barring traumatic brain injury or something it's absurd to suggest that either is wrong on account of not understanding basic economics

There are plenty of eminent CS prof's that couldn't push a HellloWorld to Heroku, or competently perform entry level software development tasks.

Like the SE vs CS divide, "job creators" disagree with academic economists on the axioms of "basic economics".
I would imagine you could have some combination of unsafePerformIO + an exception handler.
I think, honestly, the only real answer is "don't buy locked devices if you want to make those choices." Google doesn't control those devices, and that part of Android is open source. You can make those decisions, but you're earning the consequences with them.

This, as it happens, is why I buy phones with unlockable bootloaders. My current phone uses the OEM build, but I like having that choice.

> To a European, the bail system appears very strange. Isn't not showing up for your court date a crime in itself, and grounds for immediate arrest?

Yes, but resorting to arrest to bring you to trial after you've wasted the court's--and everyone else involved--time by not showing up has costs a risk of failure. Pretrial detention exists to eliminate that risk, and bail is in theory what you pay to get society to instead accept the risk and forego pretrial detention.

Cable companies would just need to make their pricing structure more accurately reflect their cost structure. Comcast could charge me a base "connection" fee which cover's their overhead plus an itemized amount for each channel I subscribe to.

Making the cost per channel exactly what they are charged by the network would be a great way to pass consumer pressure back upstream.
Mine are getting no slower and often feel snappier. 5.1 was a big improvement over 5.0 on my Z3C.
This is an interesting idea, even with flaws. It's almost like taking a fingerprint of the audio in the space around you. It also reminds me of the "voice-passwords" from old James Bond movies.
Zirtual's 'outsourced CFO' gives his side of the shutdown story
No, the mind of the perpetrator is relevant, not the victim. And it isn't just "he said, she said", but the court tries to actually understand what was going on in the perpetrator's mind. For example, you can't shove merchandise down your pants at Walmart, sneak out the front door and claim "I thought it was mine".

Until the OP chimes in, I assume that "cops don't give a shit" means you can call them, but even if they show up they won't file a report or do anything useful. I'm with you, it was at best an orthogonal comment, I just thought perhaps you were not informed of why so many cars in Russia have dash cams.

As to "without video footage of (my) own", in many U. S. states you are obligated by law to call a cop if the damage is over $XXX. They come out, file a report with details of the circumstances. Does it do any good? Meh, probably not. The last time a person ran into me, I called the plods and he handed us both the paperwork to fill out, stating that if he (the cop) did it, he'd have to issue a ticket. Umm, yeah, issuing a ticket to the incompetent driver who ran into me might be a good idea.
Oh man, I wish I had this heart rate data for when I was watching Homeland S03E12 for the first time. I distinctly remember that episode being an emotional roller coaster unlike pretty much anything else I've watched. I know my heart rate was really high at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if it was up in the 140-150 range. That show has an incredible ability build crazy amounts of tension. S01E11 was also off the charts.
I can't see sh!t. I really, really wanted to read what to do list app is all about but I just can't. Light Blue and White just don't work well together.

As far as landing a job. I see you already got a lead. I feel like dumbass now. These kind of apps I made just for fun with web.py and felt it's way too simple to pitch similar demos for a job. Even entry level ones.....I think I am suffering from imposter syndrome.

Good luck to you and thanks for reminding me of some things....
>whose fault is it that you are uninformed and still went ahead agreeing to something you don't understand.

There is no practical way for the average person to have a significant enough understanding of privacy policies due to the wordings and the 'as provided by law' type clauses that require understanding of even more complex documents (and possible even court cases). That people agree to it anyways is because it cuts one out of so much to not agree to privacy policies. Even going to the doctor involves a policy that includes 'as allowed by law' that makes it very difficult for anyone other than a specialized lawyer to understand.

Microsoft knows that people aren't understanding this and using it to their advantage. A ban on taking advantage of this is no more a nanny state than already existing bans on many cons and scams (those that don't rely on lying but on confusion and misleading others). For example, I can't hand out checks for $100 that include really nasty terms of repayment ($200 due in one month, else I get to seize any items I wish from your possession). This isn't a ban on any freedom of my own except my freedom to take advantage of others.

To relate it to your example of taking candies form strangers, if I'm handing out bad candies and someone else is eating them, who is at fault? Even if they should know better (which with these being complex legal candies that means most people shouldn't know better) I'm still at fault for handing out bad candies.

I finally saw the bill. From the moment she started downloading Windows 10 to the moment I told her to shut the internet off, she used 20 gigs. That's ridiculous. And there is only one computer in the house. No other devices use internet.
Both of which do not work. I can not right-click "view in new tab" or right-click "save as".
The basics of your idea were captured in a device in 2009: http://2xod.com/articles/ANS_9010_ramdisk_review/

It would be very interesting to see a similar product being introduced using contemporary technology, though. One question is what sort of interface it would communicate over to leverage the higher transfer speed.
Or OpenStack Swift.
But the amount of TV on "cable stuff" channels has exploded. Many channels are running original programming in prime time, stuff with high budgets. It wasn't long ago that networks like AMC, FX, etc. ran reruns only. Since 2006 we've had high quality prestige dramas run on cable. We are paying more to get more. Viewership of cable channels is way up compared to broadcast channels.

On the other hand, the amount of original programming on broadcast has been shrinking. And, it's stuff that is broadcast for free anyway. It's supposed to be entirely add supported.

So broadcast fees explode while their quality and viewership implode.
This is a common problem in C. Integer types are inherently type unsafe and are silently promoted with many different rules which are hard to remember and understand. As is seen in this case, even the ( borderline paranoid ) flag -Wconversion would not catch the bug.

I think this problem in C would be solved with a single flag: -Wwarn-if-using-integers-of-different-types-in-an-operation , forcing you to cast the integer if the types don't match in a arithmetic operation, or an assignment.

By relying on closed software on the Drives controller chips wouldn't it just get more complicated? With the price of RAM being as cheap as it is, why not just build a series of systems with 100GB+ of RAM and cache away?

Relying on a drive controller might seem the right way to go but especially for corporate installations I would believe it would be beneficial to have the fine grained control a dedicated server could provide.
Usually I just let the haters hate, but...

(1) The downvoting is close to the root of the problem here.

A long time ago there were a lot of people in the U.S. that would never buy a foreign car. As a result, American cars did not have to compete on price and quality and the carmakers grew fat. Slowly the customers died off or got sick of the abuse, and even before the 2008 crisis even the rental car companies were starting to buy ricers. Police departments are the one institution that still buys American cars, but our local sheriffs department did trial Hondas for undercover work because after 2008 it seemed possible American cars would disappear from the market.

Today there are lots of people who would never buy an American car so that's how it goes.

By lathering vitriol over anyone who says the emperor's clothes aren't there for the linux desktop, the Linux community continues to fall behind. If you look at Windows and Linux in 1995 vs 2015, you see that Windows has come far ahead and Linux has stayed still or even gone backwards.

(2) So far as a dev environment goes I used to run Linux under Virtualbox all the time, but these days I use Vagrant and for various reasons I am more likely to fire up a Linux box in AWS. If you are working in Java the experience on Windows is not too different from what it is to use Visual Studio and you have the ability to deploy on Linux, which is what I do.
I figured most people will think people are picking 42 (meaning of life and all) so they would pick 28. So to get ahead of them I picked 19.

Does this use mathjax? It doesn't seem to send my CPU into a whirlwind when typing latex as mathjax sometimes does (although I didn't test it for very long). I enjoy that there's more of a pause between typing the latex and seeing the updated version. I hate how some sites bounce up and down due to formatting on every keyup when editing latex.
This is an interesting and possibly overlooked problem with using slow languages like Ruby - your unit tests take forever to run. (unless you spend a lot of engineering effort on making them run faster, in which case they may run somewhat acceptably fast)
That's basically what we did, but more like mocking things at the network communication boundary. But for an integration test, it was often unsatisfactory, because of things behaving differently than they do in the real world. We also had a suite of automated tests that communicated with real devices in a lab, which were much better, but extremely hard to maintain. My general experience was: tenable, but tricky. So I'd love to hear how others have handled similar things.
Hello. I have. I had no college degree. I was a drop-out. I worked as a line cook, for $9.70/hr (no tips). No economic help from my family. $9.70/hr. Had my electric turned off a few times. Phone turned off regularly. Water turned off. No gas for a northeast winter.

Decided I was sick of it. Went back to school, took out some loans, but worked my ASS off, trying to get as many hours as possible so as to take out as few loans as possible. Kept communication open with my bosses and with my professors: I'm not making shit, I have to keep this job, but I want to make a better life for myself.

It was hard. Hardest thing I've ever done. Realized that I couldn't rely on the cook income, so I started a side business JUST IN CASE they decided to fire me (building websites, took one class that had a week long section on HTML in college). Hustled. Replaced my income. Kept the two jobs, took a full course load. Awful. Hated my life, always tired. I graduated with $10,000 in debt from my bachelors and a post-bacc certificate program. Could have been a lot more, but I saw what happened if I went down that route.

But you know what? I did it. It is possible. I am not a millionaire, but I have a great job, and am working on launching another company, so that I and my family can have an even better life.

Everything we put in front of ourselves is an excuse. It IS possible. If I would have lost my job, I would have found a new one. Kids add difficulty to the situation (trust me, I know), but it is still possible.
The problem with this app is that I probably stood up to get something from the kitchen or to walk over to a officemate after the last time the app reminded me to stand up. Since it has no way of knowing (I assume) about these "unscheduled" standups, it will sometimes remind me to stand up right after I've sat down.

What is needed is an accelerometer or maybe another type of sensor (barometer?) mounted on my body (or perhaps a pressure sensor integrated into my chair) so that the app can learn about all the times I've stood up and sat down without my tediously needing to tell it about them.

Am I correct in assuming that the app has no way of knowing about my standups and my sitdowns except by my explicitly telling it about them via at least one key press or mouse click?
