Being able to push more bits over existing infrastructure with DOCSIS 3.1 is welcome but I'm skeptical that this will really change broadband networking the U.S. They're only matching Google Fiber's pricing and locations so they're not expanding broadband's accessibility geographically or financially.

Even when they expand it to other locations it will be where they already offer their existing broadband options and in most locations they have no competition offering what FCC defines as "broadband" (25Mbps/3Mbps). In my city, Comcast's "Performance" broadband (about equal to the FCC's definition) alone costs as much as Google Fiber's gigabit + TV, when they roll out gigabit over coax, will it just be a higher than "Blast" tier that's too expensive for most? Comcast already offers symmetrical gigabit in many regions but it's $299/month [0]. I assume it requires running fiber because you have to live within 1/3 mile of their fiber network and they charge "up to $500 for installation and up to $500 for activation."

"You've described the state of the law as it is, but surely that doesn't address the issue of the law as it should be."

Fingerprints and other things like them are 100% non-testimonial. The fifth amendment does not cover non-testimonial evidence (because it only covers being a witness against yourself).

This has been law since the amendment was enacted, was the purpose of it, etc.

So I suspect if you want the law to be something else, your problem isn't even with the courts or judges, it's with the founders :)
I must re-iterate what others have said, I'd feel much safer donating money to you if this was on a crowd-funding service like kickstarter.

I know it's petty but I'm telling you this for your own sake.
> 25K€ to 50K€

My European friends: is this market rate for development positions in Spain?

Edit to add conversion: 50K€ = 57-58K USD
Oh come on. I fly through Europe twice to three times a year. The transfer from Charles de Gaulle is a nightmare worse than any major US airport. They literally make you leave the security area and go through security for simple transfers if you're coming from the states. That's shit design right there. A lot of international connections are terrible and knowing which airports/airlines do a good job is important. Its not a US thing.

Also, what a shit prize naming a airport after someone is. No one likes airports. de Gaulle deserves better.
On the history of exotic animals in England
>> no less than 27 power cycles were required to get all systems functioning between initial startup and takeoff. These power cycles varied in degree – from “cold iron” resets, where the aircraft had to be shut down and then restarted, to component or battery power recycling.

> Holy shit!

Even more extraordinary that they found someone willing to takeoff after that...
Could it be we all quit smoking in the 80's?
>2) the allocation of employee resources to the "pre check" line leaving less staff for 90% of travelers.

I don't think this makes sense, unless in your airport the PreCheck line is sometimes empty and the staff there are waiting around. Otherwise, they can allocate fewer staff than in every other line yet process more travelers due to the faster process. This speeds up security for everyone, not just those with PreCheck, as without PreCheck all of the travelers would have had to go through the longer process which would delay security for everyone behind them.

About me: Backend engineer with one year at Intel and three at IBM. Last year spent working on IBM's Docker Registry service. Lots of experience working on PaaS and SaaS, love learning so am happy for something new language or product wise. UK citizen traveling in US for 6 months (I'm loving it here!), would need a Visa to work here, flexible schedule so happy to interview and meet the team.
>Fun fact: They apparently aren't connected to anything, and transactions are processed later, so basically any valid card will go through regardless of funds etc.

Cards however have a special "service code" on the mag stripe/chip. Certain cards like the Monese debit card or debit cards for customers who are not allowed to go into overdraft can only be used for online transactions. So they wouldn't work in this case where the transaction is authorized offline.

Source: My experience with cards in Germany where the train company is processing credit cards the same way.
> what is a "basic right" supposed to be, anyway? I missed that day in philosophy class.

Fundamental rights that are inherent to all humans by birth and cannot be justly alienated. It's a major philosophical topic you've probably seen reflected in the universal declaration of human rights, american declaration of independence, french revolutionary declaration of the rights of man etc .

There's a terrible and anglocentric wikipedia page devoted to this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_and_legal_rights
The Core devs have been waiting for a chance to cut off Gavin's commit access. This was just an excuse. I'm not defending Gavin. At this point it looks like he was fooled but taking away his commit access was a political move. Commits are public and reversible so there is no security emergency. Of anything this is a strike against the credibility of the Core devs.

10x Genomics | Pleasanton & San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | 10xgenomics.com | software.10xgenomics.com

Cutting-edge biotech company developing instruments and software to better understand the genome.

- Senior Software Engineer - $100-150k

- Senior UI Engineer - $100-150k

- Full benefits, 401(k), Netflix-style vacation policy

10x Genomics builds hardware and software that adds new capabilities to existing genetic sequencers. We use molecular barcoding to uniquely tag DNA fragments from either the same molecule or strands from individual cells, and software to stitch them back together post-sequencing. This process can resolve biologically relevant questions about large structural genetic mutations, and determine variations in gene expression between cells-- both vital in disease research. The market for our platform is growing rapidly, and our instruments and software are used at some of the top research institutions and hospitals in the world.

We are particularly looking for systems engineers who have experience developing cloud architecture, and UI engineers who have developed dynamic web applications. You will be developing software that will enable researchers to much more quickly get answers out of the hundreds of gigabytes of data generated by a single sequencing run. You can view a demo of our existing software at http://loupe.10xgenomics.com, or read about our pipelines at http://software.10xgenomics.com.

We manage our pipelines with Go, develop analysis code using the NumPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with AngularJS, though we're open to any technology that allows us to develop faster. Our software team is small; four people are working exclusively on system architecture and visualization, with about a dozen computational biologists developing the analyses. No previous biological experience is required; we have plenty of folks here to handle that, but there is a lot to learn about if you're curious.

10x has most recently raised a $55M Series C from Fidelity and SoftBank, and has about 110 employees in Pleasanton, San Francisco, and in the field across the world. The company has brought together a remarkable team of experts from across many domains, and developed an open, collaborative culture.

If you have an interest in something different, something futuristic, and something altruistic, feel free to reach out at jeff@10xgenomics.com.
Also I'm willing to bet "competitive seed stage salary" === "well below market salary"
You are making some implicit assumptions that they data access isn't highly controlled.

I have seen a few of these sorts of deals killed because of data access concerns, and/or computation requirements ("you can have access to anonymized data, but you have to run your code in a sandbox on our health servers").

And, this is why we have legislation.
SEEKING WORK - Wilmington NC, Remote

Hey there on my 9 to 5 I work as a Data Engineer, rearanging data, creating visualizations, telling the real story and I'd like to do the same for you. On the frontend I work with D3.js, DC.js, NVD3, Angular, React, Vue.js, and more. Whatever suits your needs the best.

As far as the backend goes I'm able to work in just about what ever language makes you happy(C#, Java, PHP, Python, Javascript, Ruby) and I have experience with several datastores from NoSQL like Redis and MongoDB to Graph DBs like Neo4j to more conventional MySQL and Oracle.

If this has piqued your interest why not check out my more complete resume at http://christophermaness.me and reach out to me to see if we can work together. I work on EST about 10-15 hours per week so please keep that in mind.

Please note I'm trying to supplement my income to pay for an upcoming honeymoon so small projects are preferred.

I've always understood that getting a local judge to expedite a warrant for timely reasons is not unheard of.
I don't think Uber is going to completely turf out, but I believe they will experience a correction in their valuation.

It looks like they last raised money at a $62.5 billion valuation [1], which suggests that investors are expecting the company to operate at a global level. Unfortunately, Uber is facing extremely stiff competition in China [2] and India [3]. There's also the well-publicized tension between Uber and various European companies. And that's not even taking into account increased regulation in US cities like San Francisco [4].

So, while Uber is clearly a successful company - how successful will it be? $62.5 billion dollars successful? My guess would be no, which would drive a correction for the company.

What this means is still unclear but it's not looking good for Craig Wright being Satoshi.
> But what about the alternatives?

The alternative is returning the responsibility and the accountability to the industry. The nationalization of air travel security wasn't done to improve security, it was to done to save the airlines by removing the potential drag of liability for future security incidents from them by nationalizing a function for which they had been responsible.

This hasn't improved security, but it has meant that the screening process is now provided by a cost-insensitive bureaucracy with the excuse of national security to avoid transparency and accountability.
Having a lot of muscle will increase your base metabolic rate. Being a serious powerlifter, I imagine the increase due to muscle was significant (speaking just as someone who reads into this, not as a qualified professional!). Also, being a powerlifter, if you don't maintain the muscles, they would atrophy, taking a lot of weight with them.

the government does not need private funding when it can just reach into your pocket, in this case to collect the September 11 Security Fee which airlines attach to your ticket on behalf of TSA.
There are very few functional requirements on that kind of a system that are linearly improved by a faster computer - it's not like they're mining bitcoins in flight. "Doing X in real time" is usually the goal and any faster is superfluous. OTOH, "X percent more robust when pulling G's / subjected to EMP / hit by shockwave" is an excellent property to have, so you stick with simpler systems.
Twilio | Senior Software Engineer (JavaScript SDKs) | ONSITE @ San Francisco, or Mountain View CA

Twilio is looking to expand its JavaScript SDKs team. Currently, our team works on cutting edge communications SDKs such as Programmable Video (WebRTC video) and Programmable Voice (WebRTC Audio).

We're looking to add another member to the team with a deep core understanding of JavaScript, and a good knowledge of standards. Our primary job responsibility is to create intuitive, simple APIs over fairly complex mechanisms, so experience with designing public APIs is crucial. Any experience with WebRTC is a big plus, but not necessary.

Feel free to send a resume if you have one, however I'd be more interested in seeing code samples (A link to your github, stackoverflow, etc should suffice). Please send your linkedin profile over too, if you have one.

Please DM me here if interested, with your email address and the information above. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Interesting, thanks! I've not noticed that myself, but maybe that's because I'm in London and fintech is particularly strong here (I'm guessing fintech folks are more au fait with the difference between blockchain and bitcoin)
Aw, poor Gowalla.
Scaling Down Gracefully with AWS Lambda and HAProxy
Like someone wouldn't notice it in two second.
I'm in the tech industry, so I am sympathetic to your view, but you must realize this argument is silly. Energy requires technology? Yes. Technology also requires energy to power... well, everything. Manufacturing requires technology? Yes. Technology also requires manufacturing to build our phones, tablets, computers, Teslas, etc.

You can see where I'm going here. The economy is a network. No single node is the focal point around which everything else orbits.
I find it absurd that a central agency manages the hiring of tsa agents. In Canada and Australia the airports hire private security to do the checks. They are more competent and friendly than tsa agents.

It's also not obvious how a government run tsa could be trusted any more than regulated private security contractors (overseen and kept accountable by a smaller government agency).

Just because the fee says it's for the TSA doesn't mean that it directly goes to the TSA without legislators getting their grubby hands on it first.
The US has such a large military budget that it acts like a war magnet. If there isn't a war once a decade there could be talk of reducing spending which would be harmful to all those special interests funding campaigns. So, basically an anti-war candidate is unelectable because they wouldn't get big money behind them. There are always anti-war candidates at the start, but they never make it to the final two because you need the right funding mix to get there.
