I'm much more worried that the Abrams-verse will come to TV as well. Can they get worse than ENT ... apparently they can.
And what of those that don't own a home already?
"What do you think is the scope any one company is responsible for? Is there something about the quality of their output that they are not responsible for?"

They are not responsible for the output of other companies. My question was whether you were speaking to what one company could do, or what was prevalent in the development ecosystem. It seems that you were speaking to the former.

I certainly don't hold a position that there are no gains to be had focusing on the system. I do think it is most reasonable to say we don't know how to attain them in a way that acheives quality (or specifically lack of defects) at the level envisioned up-thread. The ways we do already know to attain that level of quality do impose substantial cost.

(And for the record, I certainly agree that individual punishment of developers is unlikely to get us to any better place.)
Main Street Hub // Austin, TX - ONSITE // email: brandon.beck@mainstreethub.com

We are looking for a few experienced software engineers to join our small but growing R&D team in downtown Austin. Within engineering we are a passionate group of people who are extremely interested in building the software that helps our customers around the country thrive in their local communities. We’re a pretty small team (currently 20 people) so you’ll have plenty of say around how we develop software going forward.

We are currently in the process of modernizing our software platform to be more modular and truly data driven. Our goal is to use data to make sure that we provide the right content to the right consumer at the right time. We’re building our internal API using REST based services implemented in Java, and while our front end is currently implemented in PHP, we are migrating away from that. Some of the technologies that we’re using: Dropwizard, Flyway, AngularJS, Bootstrap, CloudFormation, Troposphere, and Ansible. All new engineers get company provided downtown parking, flexible work hours, 100% of their health insurance premiums paid for by the company, the ability to build their own work computer, and access to our kitchen with plenty of drinks and snacks. We’re looking for individuals only so please NO RECRUITERS OR AGENCIES (seriously, your emails will just go into the trash folder so let's save each other's time). In addition we’re looking for full-time employees who are already in Austin, TX or willing to relocate.

There are some statistical studies that show that in completely free market most of the wealth gets accrued on a few individuals. I.e. the population generates the wealth but only a few gain maximum benefits for a statistical fluke and no specific high performance input of their own. The question is - do we want to modify the free rules with income balancing or not. It's not about in the larger context about should a few pay money from their own pockets for the many - with the statistical view it all never was theirs in the first place. Economies which redistribute all wealth are probably quite inefficient. Economiea which do not redistribute are quite unfair. There's a sweet spot between these two extremes.
SEEKING WORK - remote / Berlin

I'm a front-leaning, full-stack developer that is living in Berlin. I am American, and I have some conversational ability in German.

I have experience with every aspect of creating an application, from mockups and UX design, to graphic design, to the full-stack implementation, to deployment. I've successfully built and sold a past start-up of mine, and have a great deal of insight with product development. Because of this, I'm probably of most value the earlier a project is in its life cycle.

Backend stack: Ruby on Rails, with DBs/data stores such as MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Elastic Search.

Frontend stack: my strong preference is for React.js, though I've done a bunch of work with Angular and Meteor. I am well-versed in current best practices, can build responsive mobile-friendly websites, and code pixel perfect CSS and HTML5.

I'm also a very capable graphic designer, which can be seen from viewing past and present work on my portfolio.

Welp, that just sucks. I doubt the manufacturers have as much desire to update as carriers do.
I think they do this very deliberately. Short of making an alternate timeline, they'd have to "play-out" the universe we know as part of TNG/VOY/ENT/DS9.

Sure, they could leave it vague and have us all guessing what happened in those intermediate years, but that wouldn't be the StarTrek we know as we'd have no idea how they got to that point.

Also, they'd essentially lock themselves into an intermediate storyline that somehow leads to the universe they portray.

Hopefully ,if they do decide to make the setting "post" all the other shows by a long stretch of time, they work around some of these pitfalls and come up with a great story and addition to the franchise.
I disagree, though we may be living in different Internets :). At least for me, Wikipedia was an obvious continuation of everything I saw on-line when I was growing up.

Wikipedia works like every reasonable Internet community - read: just fine as long as someone is not trying to make money on it, and as long as those attempts are actively and ruthlessly punished. For some the default picture of Internet is comments under a news article on some big portal. For me, the default picture of the Internet is Hacker News.
DS9 only really gets its legs starting in the third season with the introduction of The Dominion. The Dominion War has some of the best Trek episodes ever (In the Pale Moonlight), and some of the worst (The baseball episode), but overall the story arc is awesome.
Sincerely: why spend your time and energy enriching a nation that has such a consistently terrible record on human rights?
Yeah, tying this to an unproven web streaming service seems like the modern equivalent of giving a show a time slot in the middle of the night.

Maybe worse, actually.

The "Captain Worf" show was AFAIK never in serious consideration. Michael Dorn was a huge fan of the idea and kept proposing it everywhere he went, which is the only reason it gained as much publicity as it did, but as far as I can tell it was never taken very seriously in the studios.

And I'm kind of glad for it - Worf is great, and Michael Dorn seems like a great guy, but Trek has always been about the ensemble crew and not revolved around any singular character. "Worf feat. crew" would've been a huge thematic departure.

In any case, I'm pretty sure this will be in the alternate universe (JJ Abrams-verse). It just doesn't make sense to have something in the Prime universe anymore, commercially at least. This makes me sad. The fact that Kurtzman is involved IMO suggests this is definitely a reboot-universe thing, as does the rumor that Bryan Singer might be producing.

That said, Brannon Braga and Rick Berman not being involved might be a good thing...
So you have a formally verified kernel. And then what?

It's possible to run L4 processes written in SPARK on top of seL4.
Yes, I believe you're correct. Holy crap is that a terrible way to put it. I wouldn't call "excluding debt" confusing, but just outright wrong. Unless this is one of those dialect things that means something different to the Brits?
I agree. One thing that is sorely missing, for example, is a way to define recursive values.

In Scala, to express a recursive parser combinator:

val e = p | e

You can't define such a thing in Kotlin. Atleast, this was the case the last time I looked at it.
Ask HN: Is it normal for TV shows to ask for payment?
Our company was recently approached by a new show on the Discovery channel to have a spot in an episode very relavant to our product.

We were obviously excited and didn't even think to ask about costs on the first call.

We made it to the third phone call before they mentioned a payment of $20,000 for "production costs".

Is this normal behavior for TV shows involving corporations or are they trying to pull a fast one on us?
As an American, I can say without a doubt that the anti-Americanism we're generating throughout the world is not cheap to generate.

Be a bully, get treated like a bully.
Do you have an upwork profile?
Hopefully this would be based after the end the war with the Dominion at the end of Deep Space Nine. Enterprise and the new movies have made me tired of Star Trek, not interested in prequels and origin stories any longer.
If anyone else was wondering, that's "Accelarted Mobile Pages": https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml

Does seem odd me to point that out on a Guardian link - it's never struck me as particularly slow (on mobile or otherwise).
This looks like a good place to start. http://iment.com/maida/computer/redref/index.htm
> I really hope that this won't be in the rebooted universe because it was well kinda meh

I'm not a hardcore Star Trek fan, but was very disappointed with the new films. They're mostly generic action in space with some familiar names and Starfleet uniforms.

Every little thing that made Star Trek entertaining has been stripped away.

Not too surprising considering JJ Abrams told in an interview that "I would watch episodes but it always felt too philosophical to me".
ISRO seem to be quite happy about using Ada on their Mars Orbiter - discussed somewhere in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFJUlVbTXII
Ah, you were annoyed into updating. I understand your point now.
> The recipe for greater wealth equality is to subsidize mortgages and restrict new construction, so that everybody's house values move up a notch, which makes everyone feel a little bit better about themselves.

I assume this suggestion was made "A Modest Proposal"-style, right?

Those are the policies we've been following, and they cause great harm. It's already nearly impossible to buy a home in many American cities if you're not upper middle class at a minimum, and even then you're paying an unsustainable portion of your income. Restricting construction further and subsidizing mortgages (so that home prices simply float up to their current value + subsidy) will put homes even farther out of reach.

For what its worth I basically use a two axis model for my likelihood to buy online vs. retail one axis is time frame (do i need that bathing suit right now or can i wait two weeks) this is really product agnostic - basically I'll pay a (potential) time/money premium to get something now.

the second axis is commodity vs. customization/fit on one end of the spectrum are standardized things (AA batteries, a DVD, part #12345) that i'll pretty much always buy online, the middle of that spectrum is stuff that you'd like to see in person you but would be willing to buy online (i.e. showroom): a watch (see it on your wrist first) furniture (how big is that couch). At the other end of the spectrum are things with a value added service that retailer does that i will buy in the store, something like ski boots or hockey skates where i want to try on a few, the salesman are more knowledgeable, and there is a customization/fitting process (custom footbeds or heat treatment)

Wow. I routinely wait 3 weeks for stuff from China. The few things that I can get locally, the Chinese are 1/4 the price, if not less.

And then there's things that are hard/impossible to get. Laser modules, radio boards, high velocity GPS boards. Those sorts of things.

The Original Series (TOS) has a level of camp that people either love or hate. The original films (1-6) don't rely too much on the series, though I do recommend watching the TOS episode "Space Seed" before The Wrath of Khan. If I recommend a single episode out of all of TOS, it would probably be "The City on the Edge of Forever".

The Next Generation (TNG) took a few seasons to really hit its stride, some will recommend starting at season 3 - though I personally recommend suffering through the first two seasons at least once. Like TOS, TNG is highly episodic is mostly devoid of major story arcs. My favorite series, but probably more for nostalgia than anything else. "Best of Both Worlds" is a fan favorite episode, though I will recommend "The Inner Light" for anyone - even someone who has never even heard of Star Trek.

Deep Space Nine was a bit controversial when it came out, as it moved away from Roddenberry's idealistic "Wagon Train to The Stars" model of a show and more into conflict and gritty geopolitics set in the same era as TNG. There's a story arc and the characters experience far more development throughout the show than the cast of TNG ever did. I've come to enjoy it more as an adult than when I first watched it on the air as a kid.

As for Voyager or Enterprise, I haven't really watched either of them.
"we run our clusters at 50% utilization". This seems exceedingly wasteful.
Funny, I would have said the opposite; I hated the entire Xindi arc, which took the series from "meh" to "awful".
I didn't downvote but

Why not downvote it? votes are for improving the signal to noise ratio, was your post signal or noise?

Absolutely not. Sorry for the confusion. I just can't find any papers on why the satellite data is wrong other than hand waving about how peer reviewed research into bias correction is wrong. And I also can't find anything explaining what the satellite data means.

That NOAA paper you linked has some interesting issues. But even if it is correct (it's probably not), it shows a low sensitivity to CO2.

> I would be very surprised if high intelligence was anything other than the extreme edge of a normal distribution of the human population. For it to be anything other than this it would require people of high intelligence to be a sub-population that did not breed with the rest of humanity.

Not at all. There could be a specific suite of traits that includes high intelligence, present in some people but not in most. Those people would have high intelligence, but they wouldn't be the extreme of the natural variation of the rest of the population. They would have gotten there by "cheating".

This is known to occur right now in human height. Men are taller than women. The difference is so pronounced that the human height distribution is not normal. The tallest humans (except Yao Ming) basically are the extreme of normal variation in men. But they aren't the extreme of normal variation in humans.

I hope you'll agree that "men" cannot be characterized as a subpopulation that doesn't breed with the rest of humanity.

Even if that's their methodology, I don't think it's that ridiculous. It's not like just anyone can go get an $800k mortgage. On top of that, you would stand to personally profit on any gains the home might see in the real estate market.

To offer a slightly extreme example, I'd consider a recently minted surgeon with $300k in loans, a mortgage, and a $500k base salary to be considerably wealthier than the debt-free small-town auto mechanic making $35k.
The original series is probably worth watching all of, just because there aren't that many episodes, and a few of them are real gems; it also sets the stage for some other things that are worth watching.

Read a summary of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (actually if you can, read a summary of a summary, the pacing of the movie is so ponderous). The even numbered movies are the best, but it's probably worth watching the 3rd one as well for continuity. The majority of the fandom pretends that the fifth movie never happened, and is well worth skipping.

The Next Generation (TNG) and Deep Space Nine (DS9) are the two that seem to have the strongest following with Voyager being a bit divisive among the fandom (depending on who you ask it either sucks or is good).

You will have to suffer through the first season of TNG and just trust that it will get better.

DS9 can stand on its own fairly well, but if you want continuity you can watch any time after season 5 of TNG. DS9 enters a fairly significant tone shift around season 4, and season 1, like TNG, is not necessarily representative of the entire series.

[edit] Here's a super-short summary of the above:

TOS

Movies: 2,3,4,6

TNG: at least first 3 seasons, if you don't like after season 3, drop. If you're impatient, you can watch just the pilot than skip to season 3 and not miss too much.

DS9: Seasons 4 and 5 of TNG develop some of the races that are prominent in DS9, so it's best if you wait until at least season 5 of TNG to watch, if you really didn't like season 3 of TNG, then this will stand on its own though.

Voyager: It was not my cup of tea; some fans liked it though.
Did they outsource all of their dev and administration to some cheap outfit?
