>The whole private prison thing makes me want to vomit.

Makes me vomit too. We've created a systematic punishment machine rather than a reformation and education system. And systematic profiteering machine that's corrupting the objective of the Justice system.
Savings from my first job out of college (was able to save by living with my parents at the time) and major sacrifices. By the time we started taking salaries, my savings was nearly completed drained. I will say that I was lucky enough not to have to take student loans so I did graduate debt free.

A lot of aerospace involves government contracting which has all sorts of accounting games. Companies generally don't want highly skilled workers they want cheap workers they can bill as highly skilled. Remember cost overruns are only a bad thing if you don't get paid.

Also, the industry has a lot's of ups and down and far more recent grads than available positions.
Wouldn't that have been in the days of the 'no-poaching' regime?
Agree. This is just plain abuse on people who have no other available options.
With LLVM and the JVM making languages is easy, but making tools and the whole experience is difficult.
Does it matter even if it closed down because of Apple? If a company is so weak that it cannot operate on losing a few employees, then isn't it the company's fault? It's even more a problem with the company given that it's a bull market for startups and funding.

Sounds more liberal to me. To have a monopoly within a government entity.
They don't. I have a plex pass and the people that use my server that don't have it can sync fine.
Fun read, but to say web components would solve any of this is just wrong. You've got to remember that there are two sides to the coin: presentation and functionality. The presentation problem can be solved by web components (more accurately: the encapsulation of presentation,) but the functionality bit should be solved with proper JS APIs. That there were no proper JS APIs available 21 years ago is understandable – after all the language barely existed. But that we don't have proper input APIs today is just silly.
I used to work in this field at a big tech player that competes with Google for talent in this area. I can definitely vouch for the fact that salaries are NOT $60k and that they are more in line with what frisco is talking about.
They voted against it because they believe it "exceed(s) the commission’s legal authority."[1] But they both said the idea had "well intentions." [2]

The project doesn't need to take two full-time weeks for one developer. It could take a day. Or an hour. But we give people 10 days because asking someone to turn something around in a day or two seems unreasonable.

Last i checked XMBC wasn't even remotely able to provide the backend features Plex has, so switching from one to the other is not viable.
This way, the system also punishes everyone involved but not directly the defendant/accused. And it does so via the pocketbook.
The legislative branch has been derelict in its duties for a decade. Someone has to pick up the slack.
In line with what Jtsummers said, it looks like this is priced for freelancers/contractors working as individuals [i.e. corporate developers who freelance for extra money] but seems to be locked in to a limited pool of companies:

> For the first iteration of this experiment, we’ve made a decision to limit eligibility to companies that are registered on SAM.gov at the time of bid.

I think for this experiment to work in the long run it needs to be handled in a way that makes it clear:

A) You don't need to be a registered LLC/Corp/etc.

B) You don't need to invest in any kind of liability insurance for your contribution.

C) It can be staged in a way that it could be ~60 hours/month with multiple "purchases" for longer projects.

Above $3500, and it falls into a category with more regulations and requirements about competition, sourcing, bidding, etc. Under $3500, and it does not. :)
Purchase authority in the federal government is structured by price ceilings, basically. So if they stay below $3500, they can ignore all the red tape because it goes into the "We don't care" bucket.
Can we change the headline to "sales tax-free" instead of tax-free which indicates something rather different.
Both the odds and rewards are much smaller than most people assume. You can take all the risks you want - if the rewards don't justify it, it's a bad deal.
Venmo is way easier to use. Hence all of my friends use it, so there is a powerful network effect.
The eternal problem is that academia is meant to create theoretical physicists when industry needs more mechanics.
It's a lot easier to curtail things like this on the internet. It would be dirt easy to set it up to only allow certain content (let's call it "constructive" content, like Wikipedia, various news sources, etc.), while blocking content with specific keywords. Prisons have a finite amount of traffic, it's not like we're setting up the GFC. It's dirt simple and dirt cheap to set iptables up to handle this with the limited traffic coming out of a single prison. I could probably do it for less than $400 on some budget hardware, and have it be pretty solid/reliable. We should be allowing these people access to the information and knowledge so they can better themselves and broaden their horizons. We can do that while simultaneously blocking their ability to "contribute" to the global discussion if we need/want to.
Unless you really liked being tracked, cataloged and analyzed, I recommend you use ad blocking even though you're using YouTube Red.

It's not advertising. It's advertracking. YouTube red removes the "advertising" part, but the "tracking" part stays. (Yes, Google could, and probably do, track you through an adblocker while you are on YouTube. But why tracking easy for them and everyone else?)

>>I don't understand why the Republicans voted against.

>>Look, I get it, you support private industry.

So in the 60's the Republicans launched a thing called The Southern Strategy that was literally the Republican Party courting white racists. They never stopped.

Now that openly calling for segregation is frowned upon making the criminal justice system as punitive as possible is one of the ways they keep that strategy going. See also: Welfare 'reform'

It's honestly an engineer's market. Nobody is forcing them to take these below-market jobs for crappy options. If they keep taking them, nothing will change. If you would rather have market salary and little to no equity, most founders are willing to accommodate. But I guarantee that years later when the startup is worth something or exits they complain that they got a shitty deal (when they weren't willing to take on the risk).

Micro-purchases exist to allow agencies/offices to make purchases of more common things without going through normal acquisitions procedures. This might be a software license or office supplies or a new projector for the conference room. Here, they're using it for software development time. It's a faster way to spend money than when purchasing anything over $3500, which means you (usually) get the product/service faster as well.
Read-only access, then: allow limited access without the ability to send messages, such as with software that disables the keyboard (but not the mouse) everywhere except the address bar, combined with monitoring.
I actually laughed out loud at this, although given the requirement for TLS, at least it would involve encryption.

It's not that. They felt they did not have the legal authority to do this, and that it would be struck down by the courts.
if your plan is the mom and pop market. You could offer a free tier and you could monetize it by offering contracted workers for like an extra couple bucks per hour or something. when they don't have enough staff.
Note that the major risk for an employee isn't that the startup fails in 2, 3, or even 6 months. The risk is that 5 years down the line their stock ends up being worth 0-249k, but they gave up 250k in salary in the same time period.

We're also in the situation that we likely have no way to asses whether the risk we're taking is a good one. Especially if the company takes on investors. Especially as the years go by - it can be difficult to figure out when it's best for us to cut our losses.

An individual employee might not be taking on more risk than a founder. But in aggregate they might be.
People Want Fairness, Not Economic Equality
So its actually a very basic setup. I used pygame to output to the framebuffer device on the Banana Pi, and created a very simple controller class to run the drawing thread.

Its about 300 lines for the projector management class, with some internal state machine logic, and a number of draw calls using pygame.draw.circle(). Calibration offsets are stored in a config file to allow for variations between each physical device made up.

Using a python thread to make the draw calls can occasionally go wrong and the Banana Pi gets stuck, but that's sufficiently rare enough that you can just reboot to solve the issue in the factory.
>You mean, what was the name of the game?

The parent poster was wondering what product or service your startup offered.
1 request per second is nothing for a modern server. Most applications are able to handle hundreds or thousands of transactions on a single machine. Why do you think a load balancer would be useful?

Is Google Spying on You? How to Quickly Craft an Ad Hoc Security Sandbox
I was going to do a quick search for "open standard" systems to try and pull out the gems that really are good to help prove the point - but I realized I wasn't entirely sure on which systems fit as 'open standard' and which don't. It's more of a spectrum of openness.

Anyway, the best example of an open system that is better than other system designs controlled by single companies is extremely obvious: UNIX.

I'd say it's closer to perfect than all the other OSes that are heavily controlled by single organizations. Or does UNIX not fit as an open standard from it's origins? If so, Javascript, css, etc come from similar origins (Netscape?).
Once upon a time I used to argue about using jump vs call/ret due to execution cycles. Or adding nop opcodes to improve instruction fetching.

A few years later I used to argue about direct function calls vs VMT lookups.

Once upon a time I used to DW for the whole block I was using. Then came NEW/DISPOSE. Nowadays I only care when the profiler tells me todo so.

I imagine you see where I am getting to.
The article gives me the impression too that originally it was assumed that some of the thread-safety guarantees of the underlying tools (libgit2, git) were enough.
Right, but they're not taught the reasoning behind the structures. The difference is knowing how to build a Spandrel braced arch and knowing why you would use it instead of a trussed arch.
Why do you think that will work? If it was that easy, Securus would already have competitors.
It's exactly what you'd expect when programmers are willing to sell their birthright for lentil stew.

My preferred brand of toothpaste is "the one on offer today". It's easy to find by the bright yellow price sticker.

Has the FCC had price-setting power since the Bell days? Particularly when it comes to surcharges, and as applied to state prisons, I imagine this is going to be overturned judicially.
Great move. But What does this mean for Pigeon.ly?
I agree with you that some people probably overestimate those two things.

But I also think that other people tend to lump all startups together with the assumption that the risk is more or less the same across all of them. In reality risk/reward ratio certainly varies by at least 10x across opportunities. Consider the difference between a seed stage company with no users and a product that doesn't even work yet vs a Series B company with significant traction and 10s of millions in the bank. These can be hugely different situations.

But, even if you ignore this, I come back to the concept of risk tolerance. No matter what #s you choose, there are certainly people out there who by dint of personality, age, or financial situation are perfectly willing to take on a lot of risk.
I intend to use lobbying efforts in concert with a technical solution, even if I have to go state by state. Everyone here hustles for something different; I hustle for a better (imho) world. I cannot sit back and watch shitty people be shitty.

Each personal project I work on is technical primarily, but each requires me to involve myself more in the political process by design. Technology alone will not change things, so I must get better at the people part of the process to enact the change I wish to see.

Neo4j has this thing on ignoring other graph databases. One example is their O'Reily book Graph databases covering you guessed it one graph database. I know it's good for marketing purposes. I like the way Cypher works, though not sure whether I would like to see Neo4j controlling how graph query language evolves.
The manufacturers aren't trying to segment the market. They are trying to claim shelf space. (The amount of Colgate they sell is proportional to the shelf space the store offers them, which is proportional to the number of varieties they offer.) If Colgate had only one variety and Crest had ten varieties, then Crest would get that much more shelf space and vastly outsell Colgate.

Grocery stores also like to offer their customers the illusion of choice, while dealing with as few distributors as possible. This simplifies their logistics. They would prefer to sell ten varieties of Colgate and Crest than ten separate brands of toothpaste. It gets ridiculous when you see half an aisle of Wheat Thins (original, whole wheat, low salt, spicy, plus the store clone brand of each of those). But I suppose the nice consequence is that small corner markets can have just as good a selection, effectively, as huge superstores.

"Liberal" means different things in different contexts.

In the US, in popular usage, it means someone who supports extensive public programs (education, welfare, research, etc.), even if it means that taxes are higher. It also means someone who is against the government infringing on social freedoms, like equality for people with different sexualities, genders, or races.

The classical usage of "liberal" means someone who supports individual freedom in every sense: lower taxes, fewer government programs, less government spending, and social freedom.

To make it even more confusing, the hard-right of the Republican Party claims to be "liberal" in the classical sense (sometimes also called "libertarian"), but many of them aren't actually libertarian.

And, to make it even more confusing, there are actual libertarians in the US who don't know to describe themselves that way[1][2].

The World's Largest Article Marketplace
I stumbled into a niche that somehow combines both my passions: programming and nature. Started with a linux server I built in a jungle that ran off of an off-grid power source serving over wifi. Many, many months later (and after losing two laptops, two smartphones, two DSLRs and three GPS units to Zeus and a crocodile)... it's a platform that runs across three continents and some days I double-take what I've built (I have no CS qualifications).

I do have to remind myself that it is indeed cool, as some days I just want to pack it all in as I often feel out of my depth. A few months ago I was pulling 20-hour days to "get shit done". I'm not adverse to partnering with the right person to take the strain, in fact I'd welcome it now, alas I'm yet to find someone with similar passions who's also comfortable slumming it in tropics and is confident in high-risk foreign areas.

Waking up to a Tapir in a tropical monsoon is cool, gettin robbed at gun point by narcos whilst rebooting your VM, less so.

Magic Leap Rumored to Be Raising $1B at $4.5B Valuation
I feel like you have switched contexts, without enough notice.

These comments started because of an article about scientists working around copyright restrictions. This thread started off as a complaint about the cost of getting access to foundational papers in a research field. I pointed out a cheaper mechanism for getting access, via the local library.

Hence, I thought that's what you were talking about, which is why my examples were to research libraries in the US.

I'm going to go back to your original statement, which is "I think people in the US don't realize how much better the US library system is than most of the rest of the world. Even the developed world!"

I think most people are aware that the US is a wealthy country, and therefore expect that the US library system should be above the world average. That is what you elaborated on now.

But your original statement suggested that the library quality in the US was appreciably above what one would expect for a country as rich as the US.

Yet you listed a number of countries which are comparable in wealth to the US, and which have comparable library systems. (Germany, the Nordic countries, etc.)

Therefore, it doesn't seem like the US's library system is better than what most people would expect.

Had you said "The US has a good library system", I would not have asked for clarification. But you said people in the US don't know just how good it is, even when compared to countries on a similar economic level. Which doesn't appear to be the case.
