Axion Biosystems | Atlanta, GA | Onsite

http://axion-biosystems.com

We design and build life-sciences instrumentation equipment. In simple terms it's a petri dish with electrodes that read electricity from living cells. Uses in research, drug discovery, personalized medicine and finding treatments for all kinds of diseases (ice-bucket challenge!).

We need a developer and a quality engineer. Our development is a mix of embedded firmware and C# desktop application for Windows. The QA role would focus on automating as much of our testing a possible (regression, data validation, performance, etc...) so that the team as a whole can move faster.

For both positions, ideally 1-3 years of experience in C# and Python but similar languages & skills are ok.

Most quality of life reports include ratings that are some variation on "average monthly income", meaning this nowadays pretty arbitrary measure of wealth aka money that you have no control over is factored into how happy you're supposed to be. Money is not the primary condition for happiness for many people, and markets are a complex thing, meaning having more money does not automatically entail having a better life.

(just my understanding of parent's comment)
For Thimbleweed Park, Ron Gilbert considered Lua but found it too "goofy" syntactically, and ended up using Squirrel.

>“They [high school students] know more than we do about programming and 3D printing, all that cool stuff,” he says. “They can make a design in a very different way than how we were trained.”

I think this is an important statement. Kids tinkering in their basement have knowledge to do great work, but are often overlooked because of their age or education.

Ready for the Cloud? Here’s What You Should Move (and When)
This right here is why I think Rust really stands out from other languages. You can call it from other languages just as you can call native code written in C. It's not married to a complex runtime system.

Most other languages are "dead ends", because code written in them is not easily reusable from other languages.
Apple and Microsoft make technology as their primary purpose. But if Facebook and Twitter could sell as many ads without technology, then that's what they'd do, because that's what business they're really in.
Source? That is certainly not true in general.
>you'd be dumb not to pay up

It's a difficult decision, one that I've been wrestling with for a while.

Imagine if everyone (and I mean everyone) collectively said "This is bullshit." and refused to pay for PreCheck. The TSA would have no choice but to stop the program. This is probably the only way they would stop it (beyond legislation, ha.).

Unfortunately this will never happen. People don't want to stand in line. Corporations have the money to shell out to give their travelling employees special treatment. Many will refuse step back and see that the only way to stop this shit is to make some personal sacrifices for the eventual reward of getting another lane back for everyone to use.

Perhaps others and I are "dumb" to not want to pay up, but we do so in the hopes that others will follow suit. We refuse to be a single drop in the rain on the TSA's fields. Perhaps one day those fields will dry.

Caitlin, our tech recruiting manager, will review your info. If your background looks like a fit she'll reach out with next steps.
It will eventually. You just have to stay strong and not let the terrorists win.
I'm sure the electric planes, tanks and aircraft carriers would've made for some interesting historical footnotes in 1939. Assuming we hadn't already all starved due to the lack of food being produced by the electric farm tractors.
Lame!

You could use last.fm, maybe? I think there are a few providers that have this kind of info.
They same way we are almost certain that the Voynich manuscript contains an undeciphered written language, by applying a combination of information theory, computational linguistics, and statistics.
Jupiter Technologies Corp. | Chicago, IL | Full-Time | Onsite

Early stage stealth startup seeks extremely-talented founding engineer to help build a new gateway to the internet. Founder has a demonstrably strong track record in perhaps the most competitive quantitative field there is, and, in his new field, he expects to win. Hours will be longer than you would work elsewhere, and, for a period, cash pay, while sufficient, will be lower than you could get elsewhere. Equity percentage, meaning, control, responsibility, opportunity, learning, and power will all be much better than you could get elsewhere.

You would be working from a small office in Lincoln Park, right by the zoo and park.

Looking for a winner. Someone with high standards, high ambition, and the judgement to know what’s important and what’s not. Track record and attitude much more important than pedigree. The more experience building world-class software the better, but junior candidates will also be considered.

Technologies: Java, Kotlin, Swift, a bit of JavaScript, and AWS.

Email resume and/or github profile to austin@jupiter.ai. Next step is phone screen and then an interview at office.
Location: St. Petersburg, Florida, USA (remote worker)

Remote: Absolutely.

Willing to relocate: Yes, NY, CA, TX or outside of the USA.

I like hacking on projects, creating beautiful user experiences, and making great products.
The best tweets eh? This cutesy language starts to become passive-aggressive after a while.
a right against "unreasonable search and seizure" applies at all times, including travel.

Is the search "reasonable"? I personally don't think so, given that it's more symbolism than substance.

But there is a right to be "unimpeded" to some extent. To say otherwise is disingenuous.
I guess so!
Hoax
The usual way to use regular expressions in Rust is to use the Rust module that complies them at compile time. That can't be called from Go.
Afraid of an NSL?
That's a really depressing point of view. Especially, as trade seems to have been redefined to mean anything which might enable corporate profit...
And risk being charged with obstruction. Like perjury, it's naturally difficult to prove, but one should be aware of the risks before moving down that course.

It's unusual for a government to ask for recordings of individual transactions. Tax forms tend to ask for aggregate numbers on quarterly or yearly boundaries.

/r/AskMen is a very skewed community too, just not as skewed as RedPill. It's like this all over the site. The whole site disproportionally attracts people who are unsatisfied with their social circles and looking for an alternative. It's like 4chan except people have recognizable usernames, so it feels like people are having genuine interactions with other people.

To see it all you have to do is go to a mainstream subreddit click on a few usernames and read the comment histories.
serve you good for giving up your freedom for a little convenience (paying TSA bribe: pre-check). I have no simpathy for you :(

do what you must. bite the bullet on 1h plus for security, and opt out of the undocumented scanner.

your country thank you.
Because people were renouncing to avoid the IRS, since US tax laws are completely screwed up.
I really like the open spaces. I also feel the situation has been ridiculous for a few years now (3 or 4).

Everybody wants to point the finger at x, y, or z.

A lot of people think the fault is the government. Yet, how can the government tell private land owners what to do?

Personally I think this situation will work itself out once this artificial stimulus gets turned off. We are at zero percent interest rates! Crazy. Unfortunately, given the US populations dependence on this stimulus, they may not turn it off until it is way too late.
True, but when the data is in private hands, the government sets regulations, like HIPAA here in the US, to regulate those companies' actions. Meanwhile, the government can and often does do what it wants with what it has.
Ride with GPS | Portland, OR | Onsite | http://ridewithgps.com

We're a small but very strong team (8 of us) helping people have a better time on their bikes. Specializing in route planning & ride recording (with an established website and popular app), we work closely with individual riders, clubs, events, tour companies, and more.

We're ready to expand our team as we find the right people specializing in any of the following:

- Design: We need someone on board who can make everything we have (and are building) look great, and can lead on difficult UX problems.

- Frontend: Lots of cool stuff on our website, with lots more in the pipeline. We're in the process of moving all new dev to React/Redux.

- Mobile: iOS or Android devs interested, please inquire. We've got awesome users that regularly spend hours relying on our app, and it does a lot.

- Backend/devops: We rack our own hardware, host an OSM stack, MySQL, Redis, Rails, and more, and would love someone on the team that can split their time between backend dev and devops with a focus on either.

We work reasonable hours, have great benefits, love solving problems for our customers, go on bike rides and encourage each other to live healthy happy lives. It's a really nice working environment with a cool product and customer.

Please inquire for more info: zack@ridewithgps.com
It's really the same story. Our command economy for bandwidth is run by NBC/Universal and whomever owns Charter.
>taxes too high.

At 3%, while the majority of earnings goes to the company, the workers carry the tax bill @18%
Narita is the main airport for international flights to Tokyo. It's a bit of a hike to Tokyo proper, but there's a dedicated train.

Anyway, I would imagine there are a lot of travelers (business, in particular) sensitive to time but not so much to price, for whom a direct flight is worth a few hundred $ - there was a solid market for the concord, remember.

Anyway saving the connection, and a "normal" customs/security experience is probably the bigger factor.

Incidentally, compare prices for flights to Vancouver and Seattle sometime.
It's easy to call any code from any language - all you need is the power of HTTP and micro services! ;)

My friend accidentally took a multi-tool through airport screening shortly after 9/11 and had to lawyer up to get the resulting shitstorm to go away (and he's white and an American citizen)

On the other hand, I remember when I was a kid in the 90s and accidentally took my pocket knife (3" blade) through screening, and they found it but let me bring it on the plane...
Squeezing driver pay: indeed.

My mother drives in SF for Uber and Lyft. She makes about one quarter (with the same time/schedule) she did less than two years ago.

Some call this _market efficiency_ and point out this is functioning as designed.

My mother, she's moving back to Washington State.
This article doesn't say much about the machine.

You'd put your card in, and enter your pin, and the machine would give you a £10 and keep your card. Bank staff would then open the machine on Monday morning, take all the cards out, debit the accounts, and mail the cards back to the owners.

I was surprised that there's only 3m ATMs! I would have guessed very many more.
When he talks to media, he uses technobabble bamboozle.

When he talks to tech, he uses legalbabble bamboozle.

Even if he didn't want to transfer any original BTC pre-news-release, they could have coordinated for him to transfer 1 BTC from an early block to some charity at the time of reveal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueCrypt#United_States_v._Joh...

> The court's ruling noted that FBI forensic examiners were unable to get past TrueCrypt's encryption (and therefore were unable to access the data) unless Doe either decrypted the drives or gave the FBI the password, and the court then ruled that Doe's Fifth Amendment right to remain silent legally prevented the Government from making him or her do so.

So it seems like the law is a bit ambiguous on this front.
At least that's more time than Congress got to think about bailing out Wall Street in 2008.

Everyone is positioning this as though Abbott was selling out Australia to advantage his Japanese buddies.

In reality, the current administration is selling out Australians as a whole, to advantage specific workers in South Australia. Those workers are building the submarines in a MUCH less productive fashion. Some estimates are that the submarines will cost %40 more than if built in Japan. And this is a huge contract, worth tens of Billions of dollars. It is not unfounded to say that this contract is the equivalent of a charity payment of $15B or more to specific (small) groups of Australian shipbuilders.

Such a move only makes sense in two contexts:
1) a ruling party needs to win political support from a faction controlled by the benefitted labor group; or
2) the country decides as a policy that it makes sense to develop an indigenous industrial capability in the sector (or to prevent the loss of the capability if it exists).

The first concern is lame. The second one is also not compelling when you think of the opportunity cost of those Billions. The same Billions could be used to develop a domestic drone capability, or any of a hundred other technology infrastructures. Or, if we just think about the money as a bribe, you could bribe far more citizens with other forms of direct payments, which would cut out the private contractors who are the ones who will benefit disproportionately now.

This is not about France vs. Japan. It's about economic logic vs handout politics.
All the tech he mentioned in the conventional industries are being driven by fundamental changes in the "conventional" tech space. Smartphone market dropping price of mobile computing, cloud-connected robotics deployed across manufacturing floors, all ideas that became mainstream in SV. So, where do you draw the line?
Apologies,but this process feels really lame. I know that many companies do it, (like atlassian, for example) - but it feels as though one is interviewing for a slavery post. Let me explain:

You hire people. People have lives. But this type of process just illustrates that you're a Corp and not really having the best interest of the people you're hiring. The reason I state this is because corporations don't give a fuck about anyone who under performs and they shall fire anyone at will. You're not a family, you're (the corp) not going to put in nearly as much effort as the candidate did to get the job, in order to keep said candidate.

You make them take many weeks to apply and get the job, but even for trivial reasons (we lost that customer/contract or we don't have the funding) you'll kick said candidate to the curb without a second thought.

It's a one sided position in the favor of the corp, and for that reason I would never choose to work at any company with this method for hiring - and especially a company that has this example of how long that fucking process takes.

The point is, you think you're looking for "the best fit" but you're actually alienating people who would be a good fit.

I routinely bring contraband through airport security, not weapons, mind you, just silly contraband (unallowed arosols). I am almost never "caught."
>>legitimate dragnet investigations are common

They should not be, that is my point

The purpose of the 4th amendment is to require the police to have a probable reason that a crime has been committed, AND to define what EXACTLY they are looking for, and where EXACTLY they are looking for it at

the fact that judges can sign warrants for all computers in the nation, or entire city blocks should be considered unconstitutional

That is a General Warrant something the Founders were very very very very much opposed to

> not as an instrument of harassment.

General Warrants, which is what is being talked about here, are infact a instrument of harassment

Rubber Stamping Warrants with out any actual probable cause is also a instrument of Harassment

If you believe having your door busted down by armed men at 3am because you tossed the loose leaf tea in the trash bin is not harassment than I shutter to thing what your definition would be
