Medisas (YC W13) is hiring a great designer to revolutionize hospital care
Serif, spacing, prototyping, and problem solving.

These are the things that keep you awake at night (and sometimes put you asleep during the day). You see design as both the source and the solution to many of life’s problems, and you’ve taken on so many personas so successfully that you feel like you could’ve given Leo a run for his money this year. You value a clean, cohesive, and consistent feel across different touch points with different audiences, and you always start with understanding the why before defining the how and executing the what. You understand how to balance information hierarchy, variable screen size, and latency issues, and your secret weapons include post-its, a sharpie, and a deep capacity for empathy.

Responsibilities:

- Define and uphold the design vision and strategy for the product and company

- Hands-on execution of design process from user research to prototyping to release and iteration

- Incorporate human-centered design to break down and solve complicated and complex information visualization problems

Requirements:

- Expert in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator) and Sketch

- Obsessive attention to even the smallest of details

- Experience with multi-platform responsive web design

- Able to analyze, optimize, and simplify workflows
(BONUS) Experience with HTML/CSS, Javascript

About Medisas:

Medisas is revolutionizing hospital software. Technology in hospitals is outdated, slow, and difficult to use. We are on a mission to change this and improve patient care.

Our product is a workflow tool that helps to improve information access and communication for really important workflows in hospitals such as handoffs and rounding. It helps to improve care and reduce medical errors, which currently leads to 350,000 deaths per year.

We are backed by YC, Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Cota Capital, SV Angel, and a number of prominent angels like Jeff Dean, Paul Buchheit, and Geoff Ralston.

If you’re interested, send us an email - careers@medisas.com; include a link to your portfolio, brief resume, and tell us why you want to work at Medisas. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
People have confused a right to express their opinion with a right to their opinion. The first is a foundation for discussion and improvement, the second is a recipe for stupidity.
that's not a bad mechanism (if a bit time consuming) for personal usage, but wouldn't likely work for corp. use..

Even there though all it does is move the problem one step away. Most npm packages have dependencies (and quite a few of them), you have no way of knowing whether the author of the main package did the checks you describe for their dependencies...
I don’t know enough about Czech grades to comment, and I generally agree with you about the common unfairness of custody disputes, but the rest of your claims seem a bit shaky.

Your point #2 (along with other reasons for a child to more commonly live with a single mother, e.g. the father isn’t known, is in prison, or runs off) partly explains your points #4 and #5. From the document you cite, 27% of abuse victims were living with a single mother and another 5% were living with their mother and another adult, while only 3% were living with a single father. If you only look at children living with both parents, it looks like either parent could be the abuser with approximately equal likelihood. Looking at the source document, your claim #5 seems to be a complete misinterpretation of the data, but in any event, the largest cause of fatalities is “neglect”, and most fatalities were in children under the age of 3.

More generally, I suspect a significant proportion of children spend substantially more time with their mothers than their fathers, e.g. because fathers are more likely to work, tend to work longer hours when both parents are working, and do much less housework and childcare. I suspect these disparities are even more prevalent if you restrict your examination to households where child abuse occurs.

If you want to understand child abuse by parents, you should try to gather concrete data about the family structure and other context. Aggregate statistics about which parent is more often the aggressor can be misleading without considering those other factors (most relevantly here, who the primary caregiver is).

Interpreting this document to imply that children are at much greater danger from women than men is disingenuous, or sloppy at best.

Similarly for your point #3. What is the context for the “attacks” you are talking about? Gang violence? Bar fights? School bullying? Muggings in dark alleys late at night? You don’t cite a source, so it’s not clear quite what you’re referring to.
The most terrifying thing about prions is that they are infectious but not alive: they can't be "killed" in the normal sense by sterilization. The proteins must literally be dissolved to neutralize them.

This would be brilliant - count me in!
It's a best effort though, you're relying on the package maintainer to have tracked all the installed files and clean up anything they might have modified, which hopefully you or something else hasn't modified after the package was installed.

The packages authored by distributions tend to be pretty good, but I've seen RPMs with nothing more than tar zxf in them and no tracking of the files installed.

The major package managers expect the package to manage the artifacts installed, this works if everyone plays nice and does their job...

Enterprise Java guy here. I guess Java is not much discussed here since it's most popular in corporate scenarios - and it's not very sexy nor fun. I mean, even though it's my first language and the platform I know the best, whenever I do some coding in my spare time I'd rather hack something together in Ruby.

Java is the Cobol of the future so there should be plenty of job opportunities on that platform in the foreseeable future. Big IT service companies doing custom enterprise apps have however moved most of the development work offshore (India or Eastern Europe) at least here in Northern Europe but there's plenty of opportunities for more senior developers and architects.

Despite all that boilerplate and complex application servers Java EE is actually quite nice for distributed enterprise apps with complex integration requirements. So if corporate environment doesn't turn you off and you want to get started with Java EE, I'd suggest in addition to core Java you take a look at EJB3, JPA and CDI. JAX-RS is nice for REST. If you want to write your front-end in Java, take a look at JSF (and some "rich" component library like PrimeFaces) instead of JSP. Servlets are the technology behind there so it's "good to know".

Spring framework was very popular before EJB3 and JPA, and still remains popular in contexts where you don't have/need an EJB container. But if you know you are targeting a full Java EE app server most of the neat features offered by Spring are also available in vanilla Java EE.

CDN77 has Australian PoPs, they're just not included in the publicized 'high bandwidth plan'. High bandwidth sites have different needs from the rest.

For instance, our network servers 45% US/Canada traffic, 10% UK traffic, 15% German traffic, and 20% Korean.

Australian? That's 1% of 1%. We get more traffic from New Zealand than Australia.

I'd say he's just changed his opinion on it and the internet itself has evolved. I know my enthusiasm for the internet and technology has rapidly faded in the recent 2-3 years. Mostly that's just due to fatigue. We can do amazing things on the internet but spending 90% of your waking day on it and doing the same few things instead of taking advantage of everything it has to offer can become unhealthy. You don't necessarily have to go 'off the grid' to fix the problem but going cold turkey could be easier. Take for example my recent experience with Twitter. I decided I was just wasting my time on it (and the actual value I get from it I could just get logged out through search) so I deactivated my account. They give you a 30 day period to log in and reactivate it. I've done this three times now. Very smart move by Twitter but it just goes to show how addictive a lot of this stuff can be.

I'll tell you how I did it for Wikipedia. First, I removed my email address for password recovery. Then, I opened notepad and mashed my keyboard. Then I copied the rather long string of random characters to the clipboard, went to the password reset screen and then pasted it into the password and confirm password editbox. Then I hit update, and then I closed notepad without saving, and then I rebooted my computer.

UX != UI

Simple example: with Slack (or another hosted, web-based chat app), I can invite the non-technical head of sales to join it via e-mail, and they can. They literally cannot install an IRC client.

I can get similar results, but "I" isn't enough for a communication tool to be useful.

The models affected by this do not use DEF[1]

I used to understand the system fully but have lost some of that as it's no longer important to me. In short, the CBEA engine line has a complex emissions control system consisting of 3 separate catalytic converters that each must be regenerated from time to time, and two exhaust gas recirculation systems. These regeneration cycles reduce performance and increase fuel consumption.

For example, a DPF regeneration cycle closes a valve in the exhaust which increases system pressure and thus system temperature, while also triggering a post-combustion fuel injection -- injects unburned fuel into the cylinder on the exhaust storke -- to increase the exhaust temperature to burn off soot that accumulates in the particulate filter.

It is likely a change in the schedule of these regeneration events that is necessary to bring the vehicle into compliance.

There is a long PDF[2] that goes into detail how the emissions systems work on these cars.

Open Text Content Server(Livelink)
Hi,

Is Open Text Content Server worth a tool to work in if i am looking for a good career in Software Development or shall I move in to some other technology ? If so, can you please advise which technology will be good to pursue ?
Thanks !

Prions are a crazy, crazy phenomenon. From wikipedia:

> A protein as a standalone infectious agent stands in contrast to all other known infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, all of which contain nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, or both)

In my layman's understanding, they're like this bizarre edge case in the way proteins interact. Of all the myriad way a protien can fold, it happens to find one that induces the same malformation when it interacts with another protein. To me, it almost seems like as much of a mathematical/geometrical problem as a biological one. In any case, very interesting from the perspective of emergent behavior in complex systems.
There are 304,255 signatories to this petition. While they may agree with experts, it seems unlikely that more than a small minority have actually researched the issue, much less qualifying as experts.

> Farmers are experts in breeding cattle. Point. Not more, not less. Basic concepts in biology are often terribly misunderstood or just ignored stubbornly by them for decades, and there is a big inertia in small villages to accept changes. For some reason, all people are instead ready to follow the local hero, with his myth based ideas, and often lose money by this.

This is a wildly arrogant big city point of view.
You can avoid it's use through create-class, but it's freely supported and suggested to use it to access the lifecycle callbacks.

Given that there is a supported and suggested pathway to achieving core functionality of the library which involves the use of metadata to define the semantics of your components I stand by my statement. I'm happy to roll back on "the worst thing ever" if a bit of exaggeration is intolerable, but the fact that this exists in the API is a huge wart even given the fact that it's not required.

Weavejester below suggests that use of metadata like this isn't even such a big deal for Clojure, but I cannot agree. In a language with primarily immutable data structures it's just silly to trust metadata as semantics-bearing given that it's invisible, ubiquitous, and often discarded.

I do really like it on vars, though.
It's hard to tell if you've been sincerely misled or if this is just a joke. Either way, though, it's not really plausible. The closest thing to a "zombie" that we get in nature are ants that are infected by Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. This fungus causes the infected ants to crawl to a fungus-friendly location on a leaf and remain there until the fungus kills it and produces more spores.
Exactly. It also affects how people commit suicide too. If there is a big cultural taboo against suicide then people will choose ways that look like accidents - say driving under a truck.

> You look at these people and they are young professionals,” Lusardi said. “You expect that people would say, ‘Of course I would come up with it.’ ” But many of them could not.

I know when I go to work I'm pretty much surrounded by millionaires. I know when I park my car there, it's surrounded by Lotuses and Teslas. What I really want to see is a venn diagram of the two, because I suspect a large portion of the latter are being mortgaged by people who don't have any real exit strategy.
I've noticed changes in my personality since this scandal happened.

Before it, I strongly believed that it's possible to be just as successful and competitive without breaking any rules.

I didn't go to exams which I didn't study for and refused to cheat when everyone else was doing it.
I had opportunities to earn a lot of money by doing shady things, but I've always refused, because I didn't want to compromise on my moral values.

But diesel gate made me stop and think.

If Germany's largest company does it - then who else does it ?

Add to that the wiki/snowden leaks and now the panama papers (to name just a few) and I'm totally confused:

It seems that the rich and successful are all corrupt cheaters.

Why do I have to part with 30%-40% of my earned income so that some corrupt politicians can spend them on wars and distribute them to their cronies ?

Why do I have to play by the rules when the only advantage of doing so is a "clear conscience" which nobody gives two cents about ... maybe just my 5-year old daughter.. but she also believes in Santa Claus.

So this scandal has really put me at a moral crossroads - will I go on being a "sucker" or play by the "big boys' rules" and be taken 'seriously' - take advantage of the weak, find ways to avoid taxes, steal, cheat, etc ?

What's even more disturbing is that this scandal was provoked by maybe a handful of executives at VW, but now tens of thousands of engineers and workers are going to pay the price - in the form of layoffs, reduced bonuses and so on.

Once again, very unfair, since most of those people, I'm sure, are good professionals.

So yeah, scandals like this generate more than financial losses or pollution. They generate loss of faith and disappointment and encourage others to step over the line to the "dark side" and become corrupt themselves.
"When capitalism replaces human labor with machines, it isn't to undermine the value of human labor, it's to be more efficient"

But for whom is it more efficient? The capital owners or the non-capital owners? What happens when the non-capital owners are of no use to the capital owners? That's the problem with trying to excuse the abuses that are permitted within capitalism. Rather than addressing that abuse in an effective way, all I see UBI doing is formalizing the concept of charity. Rather than discussing real alternatives like sharing in the actual ownership of capital, mutual aid societies, worker owned cooperatives, and the like, it seems the powers that be would rather just throw a tiny slice of the wealth to the people for the sake of retaining control over capital. So, I'm not all that friendly towards UBI advocates unless it becomes clear the laws are going to be changed in a manner that emphasizes the working class's right to ownership of capital (via some of the means I've suggested earlier).
>> "My guess is that people develop a genuine addiction to FB and need to avoid all temptation for a while. Going offline for a longer than that is not a good idea though."

Maybe it is. Look at it like any other addiction. If you're addicted to alcohol you don't stop for a while that start and hope you can drink in moderation. I guess a better analogy might be an alcoholic who can go into a bar and not drink. I guess there are a lot of people who can do that but for others the temptation can be too much. I know personally I've purged social media accounts several times only to start them up again 6 months later.

> Iran and India have much higher representation of women in STEM fields, and while they have other issues with misogyny, the inculcation of ambition (across gender lines) is very high (I say that having lived in India). The result seems to contradict any "biological" predilections.

I don't see how it does. If I were to guess I'd say that in those countries there is a greater economic necessity to go into a high earning field in order to earn freedom than in Sweden and Norway. In Sweden and Norway people can follow their passion instead, without having to worry too much about the pay.

It seems inadvisable to me to assume that all differences must be due to socialisation and therefore indicative of a problem that has to be fixed, until the time that research shows this to be the case. Otherwise we risk implementing policies with incentives that make people less happy overall, by incentivising careers that people don't really want to go in. At the very least it should be a warning sign if your metric for gender equality shows Iran at the top and Sweden at the bottom.

In this episode, I interview with Joe Stump, cofounder of Sprintly (https://sprint.ly), to give the startup perspective to development and testing.

Joe has spent his career in startups.
He’s also been involved with hiring and talent acquisition for several startups.

We talk about testing, continuous integration, code reviews, deployment, tolerance to defects, and how some of those differ between large companies and small companies and startups.

Then we get into hiring. Specifically, finding and evaluating good engineers, and then getting them to be interested in working for you.
