SEEKING FREELANCER - Phoenix, AZ - Remote

I have a project related to an M&A of two mid-sized web hosting companies. I need a bunch of resources. Specific roles and tasks are listed below!

- C# .NET developer (some classic ASP) (x2)

The acquired company has some user-facing hosting management tools, as well as some internal tools that are used to manage the business. They need to maintain and extend these tools.

The acquiring company has a large client who needs a custom cloud server provisioning application completed.

- Microsoft Dynamics expert (x1, maybe more depending on complexity)

The two companies have separate Dynamics deployments that need to be merged and extended.

- Zimbra expert (x1, maybe more depending on complexity)

The acquired company has 55,000 email accounts currently hosted on an old version of Zimbra. They need to upgrade Zimbra to the latest version and limit breakage.

- Ceph expert (x1, maybe more depending on complexity)

The acquiring company needs someone to manage their Ceph environment. I don't have too much detail on this one, other than Ceph is a thing they need to deal with.

- Flexiant expert (x1)

As a hosting company trying to go after AWS, they need someone to handle scripting their virtual machines, or so I gather. Like the Ceph expert above, there is not a lot that I know about this particular task right now.

This is likely going to be a 3-6 month full-time contract for all of the above resources. If you are local to the Phoenix area, a full-time position as a C# dev is quite possible as well.

I need to fill these positions immediately, so if you or someone you know is interested, please email me at my HN uname (AT) Google's famous email service.

Pay is negotiable depending on experience! Make me an offer!

800 years is a bit of a stretch, but history can very well be personal.

My Chinese great-grandmother was an opium addict who got kicked out of her village along with my grandmother and her sister after my great-grandfather died. That opium was imported by British merchants who the Qing government desperately tried to stop in the mid-1850's but failed and lost the wars.

My great-grandmother, raising my grandmother as a single parent, was unproductive as an opium addict even during the best of times, could not support my grandmother and her sister during the Japanese invasion of China. First she abandoned my grandmother's sister, and then my grandmother was left in the orphanage for a few years.

Later my grandmother was picked up by her relatives, but her sister never seen again. The lack of interaction with a father during my grandmother's upbringing meant when my grandfather had an accident working as a technician, and could not return to work, he did not receive the emotional support he could have received from my grandmother at the time, took it too hard on himself, and ended his life.

That is why when I was growing up my mother treated me as both father and son at the same time. As her children we were supposed to look after her emotional needs, while our own were neglected.

Listening to my grandmother's stories of having to hide every time the bomb siren went off because the Japanese were bombing the city, her starvation in the orphanage, children dying everyday, abandonment by her mother, loss of her sister, having an opium addict mother, how can I not be empathetic?

It doesn't mean I have to take action or hate people for it, but how can history not be personal when it affects me and my family so deeply?

Hell, I probably even wouldn't be here today if not for the turmoil in China's early 20th century causing many specific migration movements.

I agree, but I think the "word problems" the author was referring to are much lower quality than the ones you're thinking of. I imagined some highly-contrived exercises where all of the relevant information is already pre-processed for you, removing any need for problem decomposition. For example, "if the angle between the ground and a tree's shadow is 45 degrees and a 50 ft tall telephone pole that's 10 ft away from the tree casts a shadow..." (substitute a similar differential equation problem). As you point out, half the fun is defining a problem and breaking it down, and these kinds of word problems don't give you a chance to do that.

He doesn't want to be in the limelight. So, as the article mentioned, he's chosen to focus on philanthropy and art and just watches our business from afar. He's a smart, great guy.

This article is really light on the problem of complexity. Even relatively simple reactors have huge amounts of pipes and wires and such many of which need to be able to handle unusual temperatures and acidity levels. This is one of the reasons that Thorium looks great on paper but is doomed in reality. The sheer complexity of even relatively simple implementations is overpowering and causes the costs and organizational challenges to make sustainable alternatives look cheap.

During the Cold War, they periodically returned to the site of the tap and changed the tapes and batteries. One of the taps was installed on a Soviet telephone cable across the Sea of Okhotsk in several hundred feet of water. It was a 20-foot long contraption able to eavesdrop without penetrating the cable. It was designed to fall off the cable if the Soviets raised it for repairs. It survived nearly a decade, until 1981, when Ronald Pelton sold its location (among other secrets) to the KGB for $35k.

Not necessarily. Successfully thinking about this stuff requires stripping interactions all the way back to their intent. The intent of either a key press or gesture is to change some state and the intent of the feedback is to communicate both the change and the new state.

The tactile feedback from a key press is at best only a small proportion of that. You get to know you mushed a key, but not what (if anything) it changed. Assistive tech using keyboard input will generally fill in that gap with voice feedback. Gesture input with haptic and audio/voice feedback should be usable in some scenarios. I'm currently working on a couple of iOS apps in the fitness space that have this as a key part of their UI.

For the example - we set the window so slow so that trial users only had to think about one future week at a time.

We're working on a new feature called "fixed shifts" so that businesses can set up similar rotations week over week. We've heard that businesses with a mix of full-time and part-time workers prefer to give full-time workers the same shifts week over week as much as possible (thus establishing a a consistent base), while using part-time workers to fill expected busy times, time off, etc. We're working on it - stay tuned!

With regard to 24/7 - today's release fixes previous technical limitations on 24/7 scheduling. We're amid revising our help docs to reflect this.

We agree with giving predictability where possibility - by setting your preferred working hours, we build in a lot of these schedules. However, changes happen often - holidays, vacations, sick times, hiring's ebb and flow - so changes have to happen quite often.

Staffjoy enforces a configurable minimum time between shifts for roles so that workers have enough time to rest between shifts.

Exactly. There are a lot of problems worth solving in the space - like shift swapping, communication tools, etc - but what we found is that distribution/adoption becomes the largest issue, so to solve issues like PDF schedules it is better to target the core inefficiency of how scheduling works.
The article detailed how NYSE provided delayed quotations to it public service. This means that investors without access to the real-time info unknowingly traded at a disadvantage to those who did.
That's why this move is so curious to me. All the major commercial carriers are effectively competing on ticket cost at this point, so the demand is for cheaper-per-passenger aircraft, not faster ones. It seems like in terms of pure economics the most feasible supersonic aircraft would be small business jets where speed and comfort are already prioritized and clients are willing to pay the premium.

Maybe this is somehow related to possible spaceplane advancements in the more distant future?

> And sending data across the wire in the clear and encrypting later

As I understand it, the app uses SSL, so data is always sent over a (presumed) safe transport. I do agree that in order to meaningfully differentiate from the Google/Microsoft/Dropbox/OtherCloudFirm CanHasAllYourDataPlease-model encryption needs to happen 1) on the client 2) by default 3) For everything (including meta-data like filenames 4) should probably not be possible to turn off

Either way, I find it interesting that someone is trying to do at least some things right. It'll never be secure as a hosted solution (presumably they can (be ordered to)) backdoor the client at any time - see Lavabit) -- so I'm not sure I see the point (secure, but not actually secure?). Maybe release it under AGPL and offer a hosted version in order to a) have the client(s) be open and b) offer a solution to those that want to make the trade-off?

It would still be miles better than storing data with a provider that openly says they datamine everything.
> Wget requires no extra options to simply download a remote URL to a local file, while curl requires -o or -O.

I think this is oddly the major reason why wget is more popular. Saving 3 chars + not having to remember the specific curl flag seems to matter more than what we can think.

We currently don't handle scheduled breaks (i.e. legally-required lunch or rest breaks). We plan to build better support for these features in the future. The inconsistency among businesses for how breaks are handled is surprising - some schedule 10-minute rest breaks; others oppose scheduling anything (including lunch breaks).
Oh boy, you got this 100% the wrong way around.

As a small trader, you get access to special lower prices that a hedge fund can't get. Your broker will be routing your order to a wholesaler who will fill it at lower prices (ie, narrower spreads) than you would get on the open market, because they have a legal obligation to not screw you over.

You can request that they route it to anywhere you want, and they are legally obligated to do it if you ask, but you really don't want to do that. Unless you like giving money away of course.

(Also, you don't seem to understand basic market mechanics. You use words like "scraped" or "picked up" which are nonsensical in context.)

IEX recently suggested that retail investors should request their broker to route their orders to IEX, for which they got criticised very harshly. And rightly so.

It may be the issues we are having have to do with the fact that we did not use their recommended default values for payroll, e.g. we initially defined the paydays, reporting days, and the requisite 3 days between reporting and actual funds transfer. Now that Zenefits is dictating our accounting for payroll schedule, we may be able to get around many of the software issues we've experienced up to this point. I still get 2-3 emails a week letting me know I got paid, once, and it's confusing always checking if I got double/triple paid too (which also happened). Of course, this may not be 100% Zenefits fault in every case, but the software makes it easy to make mistakes.
