Our goal is to replace car ownership by a better service: shared cars available at every corner will offer the flexibility and proximity of ownership without the burden of maintenance.

We're currently looking for Backend, Fullstack and Data engineers to join our tech team in Paris.

Positions are detailed here: https://en.drivy.com/jobs

If it sounds like something interesting to you, please contact me directly via michael+jobs@drivy.com

I'd say that's an argument for counting (discounted) future earnings as part of current wealth, but not for ignoring debt.

Sure, that student isn't poorer than a beggar. But they are poorer than their classmate who has the same degree, same skills, and same financial situation in all other respects, but has no debt.

Somebody with a $500,000 house and a $400,000 mortgage and no savings isn't five times wealthier than somebody living an apartment with $100,000 in savings.
Hey. That's me. On hackernews :)

Happy to answer questions here regarding TDA but am no longer with Ayasdi so won't comment on company specific stuff.

The material in the video is dated but still relevant - I now have a better understanding of how to use "Shape" to improve Machine Learning models in an operational setting.

PayPal | San Jose, CA | Onsite (relocation available) | Hiring Senior Web Application Engineers

PayPal is looking for JavaScript engineers who want to work both in the browser and on the server-side in Node.js. Come help us as we continue to completely re-engineer the entire tech stack and innovate on how people exchange money and pay both online and offline.

I am one of the hiring managers, you can reach out to me directly at my HN username at paypal.com. We're looking for talented JavaScript developers. Experience with Backbone, React, and Flux would be hugely helpful while experience with other frameworks like Ember and Angular would also be quite useful. We've got some amazing teams of JS engineers and we'd love to have you join!

We've got openings in various areas including online checkout, account servicing, p2p money, etc.

At the present time due to paperwork deadlines, you must be currently legally authorized to work in the USA. We are able to sponsor current VISA; however, we cannot apply for new VISA.
Right, you're supposed to use the published interfaces. There's nothing particularly novel about that -- neither Microsoft nor Apple will support you if you don't use their public APIs, and in fact Apple will refuse to publish your software in their app store if you don't.

Amazon | AmazonUI (AUI) | Seattle; San Francisco | Onsite | Full-Time

AUI is the Front-end platform being adopted on Amazon.com. We are modernizing the company's front end code base, while diving deep on latency, performance, API design, user experience, and cross browser/device compatibility. Basically, we need people who can build libraries, not just use them.

Our team is incredibly customer-centric. For any given situation, we have to make the right choice on behalf of the folks using our platform -- and we have to do it at scale. That may sound cliche, but within the next hour AUI will be used to generate tens of millions of page views. And that's just in the US. Worldwide, we're used on more than 90% of requests across all device categories.

It's a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of opportunity. For example, we can run experiments that change almost every page on Amazon.com. We can also impact the page load time for the entire site. Have you ever tried to figure out why your site is 6ms slower? We have.

We use these tools (but don't expect you to know all of them): HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Perl, Git
And to give you an idea of who you will be working with, the folks responsible for this articles are on our team: http://bjk5.com/post/44698559168/breaking-down-amazons-mega-...

The three books you mentioned focus on three different areas of finance with very little overlap. And all three books are not considered basic text and are much more theoretical. Are you trying to learn basics of different segment of Finance? Then these books are more advanced.

What is your goal? What do you expect to achieve after finishing these books? Why do you want to learn three very different segments of Finance: Corporate Finance, Options, and Fundamental Security Analysis? Do you want to work in Corporate Finance or Options Trading or Security Analysis? You can't be all three at the same time.

Amida is a 2.5 year-old open-source company focused on data and data security. Our core values are Joy, Impact, Profit (in that order). The technologies we are developing will improve patient outcomes, protect personal privacy, enhance public services, and increase the impact of investments in global development.

We’re looking for software engineers; our current projects use the MEAN/Java stack but our philosophy is to use the right tools for the job.

Apply at https://angel.co/amida/jobs
FYI for others: if you submit an application through the Spire careers page, it appears you receive an automated response indicating that you must complete an online, timed programming challenge as the mandatory next step (at least this happened to me). If I had known this, I wouldn't have applied (I prefer to work only for organizations that will actually talk to me first before any coding tests) -- so maybe this comment will be useful for others who have a similar preference (or, conversely, it could make this opportunity more attractive to those who have a preference for the initial communication to be a coding test).
Something that is true after 20 years and still noteworthy seems like a good read to me. I agree the OP should add the year though.
Google aims to begin drone package deliveries in 2017
It's not like space operas ever made sense :)
It prioritizes communication and curiousity over violence and dominance.

In the context of the series, sure, where you have an hour a week to wax philosophical.

The movies are far more uneven in that respect. They attempted it in The Motion Picture. Result: total snoozer.

Khan is an action/revenge flick.

Search For Spock is another action/revenge flick.

Voyage Home is far more in the original mold, humans trying to make peace with an unknown alien force. But it also wavers between comical and absurd... no character development to be found here.

The Final Frontier... I'm not even sure where to begin. It's terrible. :)

The Undiscovered Country is, to me, the best mix of the lot... a bit action, a bit politics, the origin story of the Federation and the Klingon peace, commentary on racism, etc...

But that's one film out of five.

So be fair: you're comparing two movies to an entire franchise and then complaining they aren't what you want them to be. If you more fairly compare them to just their film contemporaries, my opinion is that they stand up reasonably well.

That's not to say they aren't clearly designed for more mass-market appeal. The Undiscovered Country, for example, is pure fan service, whereas Star Trek or Into Darkness are clearly aimed at a broader audience. I just don't think they're significantly worse than their peers simply because they don't talk it out... ;)

We can learn from it though, the history of inequality does suggest that inequality is an attractor, and equality is an unstable state that would require active management to maintain.
> In my experience, 10 years ago the policy was "Don't use it"

IIRC from back then it was more like "never us is as a main source" and "for [deity]'s sake don't cite it", which I think is still pretty much the case.

It was often a useful way to find other useful sources though, either through explicit links in the articles or by introducing the reader to useful search terms they'd not thought of or otherwise been introduced to, and people were encouraged to use it for that purpose (but that purpose only).
Design? This needs re-coding first. I can do that but, ass, gas or grass; nobody rides for free. (Not that I wouldn't or haven't)

How to Survive an Office Meeting
CLVmetrics |Lead Front-End Engineer - Early Employee | Philadelphia, PA w/ NYC 2016 | Onsite w/ some Remote

CLVmetrics (http://www.clvmetrics.com) is a technology company with a simple but important belief: companies should treat their customers differently based on each customer’s lifetime value (CLV) to the business.
Our goal is to enable firms to do so by providing access to the cutting-edge statistical models of co-founder Wharton Professor Peter Fader that forecast customer behavior far into the future.

To accomplish this goal and allow companies to implement customer-centric marketing strategies, our world-class team of statisticians, marketers, and engineers is building an enterprise-grade cloud-based analytics suite to commercialize our own award-winning research on consumer behavior, marketing theory, and statistics.
Our team has the technical expertise across stack to implement our models at scale, and we are looking to add an expert front-end developer to the team to help us design and develop a stunning front-end that will allow our customers to discover novel insights about their customers, develop marketing interventions around CLV, and track the results of those actions.

Candidates should be comfortable with a major JS framework such as React/Angular and a visualization library such as d3. Candidates should also have a strong sense for UI/UX.

The key challenges that you will face are:

-Presenting a new metric: Predictive CLV is a new metric that has never been accessible before. The success of its penetration depends critically on effective communication to our clients.

-Visualization of massive data sets: We need to present output from millions of customers and billions of transactions in an elegant and simple-to-understand fashion.

-Design for different stakeholders: We need dashboards and visualizations appropriate for a range of audiences from performance marketers to the C-suite.

Please email justin@clvmetrics.com to apply.

I've seen this many times in technical papers, and on a few occasions I've implemented work based the description of an algorithm in a paper. Though the viability of that really depends on the nature of the system under discussion.

Great read thanks Mike
How does it affect built time and the feedback cycle?
Sounds like you could get the same benefits by installing sshd into each container and using ssh to execute inside of a single container, rather than using docker/compose "commands". This would allow you to keep your `pip install` updates, and only when you run `docker-compose rm` would the changes be nuked. Would that fit the workflow you've been talking about? Thanks!
So, it's not so much, "Hey, I drew a penis", but more "Look, I made StuffyButt1971 angry because I drew a penis"?

> Granted, this has often been the case with Star Trek films (First Contact was sort of an action movie for example).

This is a point Trek fans rarely acknowledge.

Star Trek the TV show is often more thoughtful and deals with social commentary well. However Star Trek movies rarely are.

Let's look at the classic Star Trek movies: Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, and The Undiscovered Country are all action films. The Voyage Home is a comedy.

Which leaves just two: The Motion Picture and The Final Frontier which both reviewers and audience alike pan for being some of the worst classic Trek films.

Next Gen isn't much better: Generations, First Contact, and Nemesis are all action films and Insurrection is extremely borderline.

So when people say "JJ Abrams ruins Star Trek by producing an action-adventure" they're really ignoring the history of Star Trek films which are full of only that.
More of an accounting/finance thing, similar to how net price is price excluding tax, net wealth is wealth (assets) excluding debt (loans/liabilities).
RethinkDB - www.rethinkdb.com - Mountain View, CA - C++ hackers

We're making it dramatically easier for the world to shift to realtime apps with a new database access model -- instead of polling the database for changes, the developer can tell RethinkDB to continuously push updated query results to applications in realtime.

We're hiring C++ engineers to work on performance, the continuous computation engine, and the distributed system.

RethinkDB is fun, very technically challenging, well-funded, and is growing very quickly. Intellectually, we're also PL nerds (mostly Lisp and Haskell/ML), so if that's your cup of tea you'll be right at home!

Send your resume to jobs@rethinkdb.com. We don't currently hire remotely (sorry!), but will work with you if you're willing to relocate.
As lostdog mentioned, if you can't get "VP of Engineering", go for "Director of Engineering", which is basically the same title, but leaves room for them to hire a "real VP" later down the road. As I said, titles are free. You can get one better than your current title with little hassle, most likely. Although you sound like you expect a lot of hassle about this, which for me is not a good sign. I'd probably walk if they weren't willing to compromise on something like this.
ctrl-+ does not increase font size in the file menu. Try it. Icons get bigger, font size remains the same. If you can find a way to increase the font size, even with unity-tweak-tool, I'll eat my hat.

The second example is used by people who play video games all the time. People do it for skype/ventrilo calls during gaming sessions constantly. It may not be a common use for _for you_ but it is not as rare as you appear to think.

The idea that "taking responsibility" is how we prevent bugs is what's wrong in the first place.

Quality is systemic, and has its roots across the organization.
On many, but not all cognitive tasks:

Of course, genetics probably plays a role in that, too.
Agreed. Every once in a while I use a slightly older version and quickly ask myself how I ever was able to get by. I use Scala as my daily language though so that's a spot where their support might be improving at a more rapid pace.
