I'm sure it's for the words "deck is stacked against them" and the snark about the problems women face, not the list of facts. A big list of pros without cons, or cons without pros, says nothing about overall ranking. Overall ranking is a terrible way to think about things, anyway. Problems don't get fixed because other people have different problems.
The staff costs for sitcoms don't get to be that high until the show has already established itself as a ratings draw. So as a network, you can invest in 10 shitty sitcoms, pay tons of money to the 2 or 3 shows that actually build an audience and come out ahead. You have to invest a lot of money into a Sci Fi show before it even makes it in front of an audience, which means it's a riskier bet. TV executives hate risk, so there aren't a lot of Sci Fi shows on TV right now.

Much faster. So very much faster. I won't trade off so many features for compile speed as to make Go seem like a good idea, but Kotlin is hitting a really nice balance for me between Java and Scala on the feature/iteration-loop front.

NoRedInk in San Francisco (or remote, up to 6h time zone difference from Pacific)

Full stack rails engineers or frontend engineers wanted to make sure that grammer is taught good. Every one's revolutioneyesing educaton but while some student's cant even right the write words.

Then there was NoRedInk.

NoRedInk helps students quickly improve their grammar and writing skills. We've got a small, technically excellent engineering team.

We're gradually porting all of our React.js and Flux code to Elm, and are really active on the Elm community.

On the backend, we use Rails and MySQL, and manage our AWS deployments using Chef / Opsworks.

Join us as engineer #10, and improve how grammar is taught. https://www.noredink.com/jobs
Network Locum (http://www.networklocum.com) | London, UK | ONSITE | FULLTIME

Network Locum is a data-driven marketplace fixing the problem of flexible staffing in the NHS, matching hospitals and surgeries with temporary doctors. We get over 10000 sessions posted every month, and have just series-A'd.

Our tech stack is mainly a microservices backend with an Angular frontend running through a REST API – running on Redis, Mongo and MySQL.

What we believe in:

* Getting stuff done
* Testing quickly and often
* Making informed, data-driven decisions
* Lean principles and Agile project management
* Developers spending their time doing what they do best: developing
* Cultural fit is as important as raw technical skills – we can teach you!
* Everyone shapes the direction of the product

We have a hipster office in Shoreditch that our team of ~30 works out of. We're looking for engineers, designers, and thinkers of all shapes and sizes. If you’d like to join us and be challenged on a daily basis, while having fun with great people, then shoot us your github profile, or a description of the coolest project you've worked on to michael@networklocum.com

Right now we're especially looking for:

* An awesome JS engineer who's opinionated in Angular and React and ideally a bunch of other frameworks
* UX and UI designers who can turn awkward layout into something awesome
* World-class Brainfuck developers (semi-serious)
Yeah, seems to me that the best way to actually learn material is to use it right after being introduced to it. It also eliminates potential pitfalls. If you're a student who misunderstood a professor about a math topic, and you do the homework without access to the answers, then you might do the entire problem set wrong. Even if you HAVE the answers, you might have no idea how the authors came up with the answer. Walking someone through a process they've participated in strengthens the overall teaching moment.

You have provided personal anecdotes to support your position and demanded "actual studies" to refute your position.

I do not think you are truly interested in changing your mind.
I am worried even more that people people may well have used upstart for a number of years and still think they are using sysv, because upstart could grok the scripts without change.

But then i am sitting here using a distro that boot by way of a couple of flat files. Frankly i kinda like it, but then i grew up fiddling with autoexec.bat...
I think the author here is missing the forest for the trees so to speak. The last line in particular was powerful, but probably not for the reasons he intended.

>Otherwise we’re just pissing words into the wind.
This accurately sums up the whole of internet blogging. Especially in this age of content aggregators, fewer and fewer users are subscribing to an individual author or even an individual hosting service (hell I can't think of the last medium article read that wasn't on either HN or reddit). At that level, it's less surprising that the distributed community that will link to 10 life hacks from Musk is bigger than the community linking to heartfelt anecdotes on Syria.

Given this, I think it's disingenuous to speak of any given hosting service being ruined by the fact that users have questionable tastes. Unless, of course, you want to imply more authors will mistag and mistitle their pieces for views and drive these users away.
Wrong.Remove this from this place.
Nautilus published an article last year germane to this subject titled 'Want to Get Out Alive? Follow the Ants'

URL: http://nautil.us/issue/23/dominoes/want-to-get-out-alive-fol...

which suggested inside positioning of large solid round pillars at corner exits engineered to receive the funneled crowd-mass pressure and channel it around to the limited capacity exits.
They're fine movies (and I think people sometimes forget that Trek movies are, on average, not great), but they're not particularly "trek"-y, aside from reusing the broad strokes of some historical characters.

And personally, I have zero interest in seeing Captain Kirk again. I feel like it was a backwards step to take a broad universe and refocus on the original iconic characters. There are a lot of stories to be told, the Borg are still one of the most fascinating sci-fi creations in years, etc. etc.

Basically my objection is that they don't really "boldly go" anywhere, they just retread.
I agree. But a big oled screen for a map, settings, and secondary systems can never be wrong can it.
I would prefer HN to be a place where things like "socialist propaganda" aren't thrown around so loosely. Thanks.

"CBS All Access"? Nobody wants to buy individual streaming services from every studio/network. Stop trying to make it happen. Just sign a deal with Netflix or Amazon[1] and accept you missed the boat.

In other words, lazy content providers are complaining because user's are unwilling to conform to the model that they want us to.
WRT your parenthetical, it's historically normal for journalists to have lax standards. The web didn't invent pressure to publish. I think you're actually seeing increased transparency.
They were fine action films, but they totally lacked the heart and soul of the tv series, particularly the tv series' focus on exploration and diplomacy and resolving conflicts without violence.

Granted, this has often been the case with Star Trek films (First Contact was sort of an action movie for example).
DS9 was in many ways the best of Star Trek. Season-long plot arcs worked really well (Gul Dukat was a villain for the whole series! Oh, how he evolved!), and the focus not just on characters, but the relationships between characters, was fantastic. The Season 5 finale, when the Federation abandons the station and families are torn apart? Incredible.

So, I don't work there, but I was just drinking with someone at Open Whisper Systems, and they badly need someone in SFBA to take over iOS and mobile UX and to oversee design.

Whisper makes Signal and TextSecure for iOS and Android respectively. They're the the best-designed, most trustworthy message crypto available to users today, and one of the only reasons they aren't the global default is that someone needs to take over their front-end and make them the default.

Whisper will pay you less than almost any other company in the Bay Area (they're entirely self-funded) but you'll probably do more good there than you could at any company on this hiring thread, and if you succeed at the job, you'll be an authentic hero for privacy and civil liberties. That's not a bad calling card to have paper-clipped to your resume.

You don't need to be a cryptography expert to talk to them. Also: they're all just fantastic people, some of the best you can hope to work with.

I have no relationship with Whisper; I'm just an admirer.

Thanks a lot for the summary. It is way better than reading the paper (I tried).
Equality and massive inequality are both bad because working harder doesn't help one get ahead. You want enough inequality so that those who work harder are awarded more, but enough equality so that everyone has a chance to work harder and get ahead (compared to current day where some of the hardest workers are barely hanging on).
With TNG I would use graphtv to pick the best of S1+S2 and skip the rest of those - it didn't really find itself until S3.

Please accept my apologies.

With the current state of bootcamps in the US, I feel it's a stretch to call them formal education. They are at best short training programs. There's no accreditation, no accrediting body, and no real quality control beyond the press. That the field has few widely accepted standards does not help matters.

Personally, I suspect that the advent of bootcamps in the US is a fad driven by the explosion of the tech sector and the amount of time it takes to train a computer scientist. I suspect that in ten years, they will be much less popular as people who only know Ruby or PHP drop out of the field. It's hard to have a multi-decade long career in computing if you don't actually understand computers.
Don't forget that they literally added an Ewok.
Honestly, how many of them do you actually expect to be able to fix the problem on windows? They just call the it guy.
In many FOSS applications ctrl -/+ works too. I've had to mess around with audio and video on Windows too, it's not pretty. It definitely does not "just work". I've never needed to pipe data into a mic input channel on Linux. These days one probably wants "pavucontrol".

I don't like arbitrarily changing UX either, but it's not like Windows doesn't have that problem. I had massive switching headaches moving to the new "ribbon" based stuff in Microsoft Office.

Of course neither side is perfect, but I am thoroughly unconvinced by the "unusable" argument. THere are definitely biases with ignoring the headaches that Windows forces upon users.

==Specialties:==

– CSS / Sass (I know CSS inside-out. I write enormous amounts of super-clean SCSS every month and can rapidly solve the trickiest, weirdest browser bugs. I can make Bootstrap bend over backwards or code a slick UI from scratch.)

– Responsive Design (I wrote the media queries for internal use at my company. I’m particularly good at making legacy websites work on mobile devices without compromising the integrity of the original design.)

– User Interfaces: (design, template code, custom CSS animations, UX / acceptance testing)

– JavaScript (fundamentals, frameworks, best practices, and the ecosystem / tooling)

Giant Keyword Blob: HTML5, CSS3, Sass, JavaScript, jQuery, Angular, Meteor, React, D3, Vue.js, Node.js, Gulp, Bower, PHP, Laravel, Ruby, Rails, Scala, Play Framework, Linux, Heroku, Git, TDD, CI, UI, UX, Design, Consulting, Disc Golf

What's funny is the message now has a different typo: a missing B in BANNED.

The other profile details are different, though. I am inclined to believe it's a troll as well.
They're mostly generic action in space with some familiar names and Starfleet uniforms.

You've just described the Wrath of Khan, considered one of the finest films in the franchise.

Hell, a good number of episodes in every series in the franchise were just action in space... the Best of Both Worlds is literally just Us vs The Borg.

Fans have incredibly rose tinted glasses regarding ST. For every City on the Edge of Forever or The Inner Light there's at least one The Doomsday Machine or, worse, Spock's Brain...

Edit:

BTW, I actually think Into Darkness was pretty interesting. It reminded me of The Drumhead or similar, where they used an enemy or a crisis to examine the nature Star Fleet itself. It's just a pity they, once again, didn't actually use someone of Indian descent to play Khan...
