Ah, but that just raises more issues. Geosynchronous satellites are by definition pegged to a relative spot over the earth's surface. And the earth spins constantly, inside and out. The question is, is there any difference between the core spinning slightly slower, vs. the crust spinning slightly faster (assuming zero acceleration)?

To a godlike observer outside of the plane of the ecliptic, I'm not sure the idea of one being stationary and the other "slipping" in some direction even has meaning.
Wow, that's an uncharitable opinion of design and designers. They're highly-trained professionals too, and redesigns like this aren't done just for the heck of it -- according to the blog post, this measurably increases performance on small screens and in low-bandwidth contexts.

One cool thing is that this is a Mozilla project, which means it's open source, and it's even on Github: probably worth filing that over on https://github.com/mozilla/thimble.webmaker.org
There is a big, big difference between Angular and the other frameworks you mentioned. Angular is part of a larger ecosystem (i.e. JavaScript) that is going through massive changes on its own (i.e. ES6 and all the other new JavaScript goodness). Angular can stand pat and do nothing while the world around them changes, but that is probably not the best strategy either.
What failure mode would you want, if not off? Having a failed sensor+controller control temperature in any way isn't what I'd want. One could have a backup thermostat as a fallback, but I doubt their average customer wants anything that complicated.

Conversant Media | San Francisco, Chicago | ONSITE

The Contextual Classification Team is looking for:

1. Machine Learning, NLP, and Computer Vision engineers to build out our web-content classification system. Our custom-built platform categorizes millions of web pages and is directly tied to millions of dollars in revenue, as well as our transparent reporting features. This is real-world machine learning, at scale.

2. Application and UI Engineers to work with the contextual data we generate - exposing it to customers and building our reporting and internal management tools. Our systems handle billions of requests per day, with strong SLAs on reporting, uptime, and response time.

Both teams work primarily in Python. On the front-end we use D3 for charting, and the framework is Backbone, but anyone with experience in any JS framework should apply.

Software Developer - http://www.orgsync.com/company/careers/software-developer
Same here. We were acquired and surprise! We got to keep our jobs and if we stuck we'd receive enough shares that basically amounted to $30K at market value.

Acquisitions are rare events (given that 92% of the startups fold). And acquisition where employees actually make out enough to recoup their lost wages, even rarer.

Employee beware.

Primate Labs | http://www.primatelabs.com/ | Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Primate Labs is looking for software developers to work on Geekbench, our popular cross-platform processor benchmark. You will help develop and analyze benchmark tests for future versions of Geekbench in addition to working on the application itself.

We're looking for someone with a solid C++ background. It would be nice if you had experience with any of the following technologies (but by all means these are not mandatory): C++11, GPGPU APIs (e.g., OpenCL or CUDA), and code optimization and profiling tools.

Benefits include competitive salary and vacation time, medical and dental benefits, and flexible work hours.

This is a full-time position in our Toronto, Ontario office. Interested? Send an email to jobs@primatelabs.com for more information or to apply.
It's pretty terrific. You can search for things like "wedding" or "beach" or "birthday" or "christmas", people's names, "march 2008", "kyoto", etc, and it uses everything at its disposal: the image itself, the EXIF data, geotagging, the date it was taken, the filename, the album name...
As a professional web dev: dude, this is what I wish I had five years ago. Categorically no: teach people using the fewest amount of tools needed to get cool shit written and working. Then, when they hit the limits (IF they hit the limits) of that single "get shit done" tool, have them branch out to the more complex stuff.
I think there're no "yes" or "no". It depends on many factors. You're talking about "Moonwalking with Einstein", but from other point of view there's a book "How life imitates chess" by Garry Kasparov, which I recommended a couple of comments below. For me, this source is reliable.

"Show a chess player a board full of randomly placed pieces and they'll have great trouble remembering the placements" - how about "Chess960"? It uses almost random positions in the beginning, which of course doesn't allow you to use already known debuts. But if we check the list of world champions, there're the same Top grossmeisters: Aronyan, Svidler, Nakamura.

I think we will have a very good practical answer in a few years. Because in 2011 the Ministry of Education of Armenia started an educational program about teaching chess in schools. This sounds very interesting and soon we will know if it helps to improve something or not.

An Interview with OEIS's Neil Sloane
When you wake up, you don't know which awakening it is. You claim the probability of heads is 50%.

Now, you are told it is the first awakening. The probability of learning that if heads is twice as much as the probability of learning that if tails, so your Bayes factor is 2:1. You therefore cannot still believe that the probability of heads is 50%.
Yes. Updated now. It should have read "6. Server Rendering"

Frontend JS Engineer - http://monetate.applytojob.com/apply/OpYC9R
In my experience "flat design" seems to have become synonymous with hidden and undiscoverable. Metro and Material were/are horrible in this respect (I don't use iOS so I don't know how Apple's version fares in that regard).

My experience is that it seems to be based on the philosophy of "just touch things to learn what they do" but then you're constantly punished with "oh, you touched something so things changed". It's a minefield.

It's not particularly the "flat" design that's at fault here, but it's lumped with this simultaneous trend of feature deletion and cryptoUI.
May I ask you - did you hired anyone from these HN threads? How many people applied?

I'm still considering to apply but haven't decided about relocation... Really no chance for rem0te?
Ironically, the "Goo" spacing is actually about 25% narrower that that between the "gle" characters
At a first glance the link you provided promotes double insanity: angular 1 mixed with angular 2 (because angular 1 was not complex enough when angular 2 decided to simplify it with new syntax and requiring typescript which seems to require node.js). Is there some documentation for angular 2 with plain javascript (no typescript) for people who want to keep it simpler ? Can you provide some links ? Thank you.
>"When the Supreme Court hears the death-penalty case from Georgia, Foster v. Chatman, No. 14-8349, it could reshape the ways juries are selected.

The case arose from the 1987 trial of Timothy T. Foster, an African-American facing the death penalty for killing a white woman, Queen Madge White. Prosecutors worked hard to exclude blacks from the jury.

In notes that did not surface until decades later, they marked the names of black prospective jurors with a B. They highlighted those names in green. They circled the word “black” where potential jurors had noted their race on questionnaires.

They ranked the black prospective jurors in case “it comes down to having to pick one of the black jurors,” as the prosecution’s investigator put it in a draft affidavit at the time.

There was no need for that, though. Prosecutors struck all four black potential jurors."

Pedantic comment: you don't need the previous results to compute the nth fibonacci number; the recurrence has a closed form solution. It is not constant time to compute (unless you assume constant time, infinite precision arithmetic) in practice, but it can certainly be done without the prior terms.

The rest of this post is on point, though. Serialization bottlenecks (Amdahl's Law) prevent a lot of optimizations from making meaningful dents in real workloads.
Brewster Is the Worst App Ever
This morning, I saw a message in my inbox that said John Smith, a pseudonym for an old friend, which said (and I quote verbatim):

"[John] asked us to reach out and confirm they have your latest info"

John never asked Brewster to reach out. He simply clicked on a message in his inbox that told him the same lie: "[some old friend] has asked us to reach out and confirm your latest info" and in turn it spammed all of his contacts with the same deceitful message.

It is embarrassing to have an app lie to my contacts, some of whom I don't wish to contact and certainly not have an app lie and suggest that I have interest in reconnecting with them. There are people in my inbox, including a whole bunch of the truly forgotten kind (ex girlfriend's, slimy ex business contacts, etc) whom I'd never want to open any sort of contact with, never mind asking them to confirm their latest info.

Clearly, Brewster is a scam spread by outright deception.

Google is to blame, too. They only state "Manage Your Contacts" not "Send messages to your contacts" in the app permissions.

What are my legal options here? I deleted the app from my Google account but they already have my data and they already contacted a ton of people.

Is this something to report to Google or my state's attorney general? or whom should I contact to try and bring justice here to the tens or hundreds of thousands of users who like me simply clicked to verify their contact info not knowing that this terrible lying app would go and "reach out" to old contacts and tell them that they were asked by the person whom they lied to to confirm their latest info, which is itself a lie. In other words, acquiring users through outright deception.

Thanks for any tips about dealing with this

that's... the joke.
Being able to do everything with SVGs is admittedly nice. But if Google was worried about performance on small screens and in low-bandwidth contexts, we wouldn't have Material design, as it's animations have quite a bloated effect on performance. Particularly on devices with low power/low processing. Page loads on desktops for some Google sites are up to ten seconds now.

But yes, most redesigns are done just for the heck of it. I have a pretty uncharitable opinion of design and designers too, if only because very few Silicon Valley designers seem to have any idea how the users experience (and hate) their work. (I remember back when I heard about Google doing heavy testing with normal users before making changes, and it's very clear that that stopped when Duarte stepped in.)
No problem. Back in early 2005, we built a robot bartender that could take orders over the web (or from PDA) and would automatically mix them. This was our undergrad capstone project, so there is probably "official" documentation on file somewhere at the university. I still have our final report around too -- plus a video (shit quality, sorry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RzoeacsXrQ).

I'd be happy to make an expert declaration pro bono to get this tripe invalidated (contact info in profile).
