akira.md | Toronto | Onsite iOS & Android Developers: 80,000-120,000CAD

Akira is a doctor in your pocket. We’re on a mission to make world-class healthcare convenient and accessible to all of humanity. With Akira, Canadians can consult with physicians on-demand by secure text or video. They have mobile access to their health records, including labs, imaging, doctor’s notes, and prescriptions. Users have a Personal Health Assistant who will focus on preventing illness, rather than simply treating it. Based in Toronto, we’re building an interdisciplinary team of physicians, developers, data scientists and designers to tackle hard problems in healthcare technology. Our mobile health platform brings much-needed change to a medical system still reliant on fax machines and paper charts. We've also recently been featured on product hunt and the app store!

If you're passionate about building a next-generation iOS or Android App and moving Canadian healthcare forward, email me at alex@akira.md or apply at http://akira.md/about.html#careers

I know, but it turned out that it was easiest for me to understand DVCS through visualizing operations on git's data structures. Obviously this isn't the case for everyone, but my point is that it's subjective to say that one VCS is simple or easier than another.

Volantio (YCW09) | Full Stack Engineer | Atlanta | Full-time | ONSITE

Volantio is hiring an experienced full-stack developer to help us fix travel tech for airlines.
We make some of the world’s biggest travel sites suck less, by providing technology products to airlines and other travel companies (and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century).

Everything we do works on improving the end-to-end airfare marketing/search/purchase process for some of the worlds biggest airlines, from being honest about prices in ads, to delivering emails that only contain real fares that you actually care about. If you’ve ever gotten an anger-inducing email from an airline with prices that are a blatant lie: we fix that.

We’re a close-knit team and have a variety of challenging work on our plates. A typical day can consist of everything from optimizing the Fare Prediction System in the morning to putting the finishing touches on a CSS animation in the afternoon. Our work spans multiple technologies, cultures, and languages (both programming and spoken!), so we value high quality communication and a continuous process of learning from each other.

We're looking for someone with at least a few years of professional software development experience that wants to work with us. Our product is built on Django/Python/Postgres/Redis/TypeScript and various other technologies used as needed. You'll be a core member of our team - able to develop the role and technology in a direction that you find exciting as we grow the company.

If this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you. Please include whatever info you believe is relevant: resume, GitHub profile, code samples, links to personal projects, etc.
You can apply by emailing directly (jobs@volantio.com)
There are a lot of things that companies do to make sure no one makes you a better offer. Here is just one recent example from the tech industry:

http://venturebeat.com/2014/05/23/4-tech-companies-are-payin...
They own property, and the value of that property is linked to how hard it is to find housing for other people. Their actions make economic sense (is this what you are referring to as "reasonable"?).

Still, most people find these actions to be immoral, as they result in plenty of suffering and wasted potential. The mealymouthed excuses about preserving historical parking lots or not creating wind tunnels or whatever are easy to see through.
> Could you please provide some sort of example of this?

An example of taxing capital the same as other income? Basically, its just elimiting reduced LTCG rates and other reduced rates of taxation applied to capital gains. (Probably with added provisions to allow advanced and deferred recognition of gains so that irregular windfall gains -- capital or otherwise -- aren't unfairly taxed as all current-year income in a progressive system.)

> However I work with many who are on wellfare and understand their mindset a good % of people who will be on BI will be these people.

In a UBI, everyone will be on the UBI. The initial percentage of the people who will be on UBI that are current welfare beneficiaries is equal to the percentage of the population that are current welfare beneficiaries.

(In what I see as a sensible transition to a mature UBI funded primarily by taxes on capital, the early net direct beneficiaries of UBI are mostly not current welfare beneficiaries, but working people who are not eligible for means-tested welfare programs, since means-tested programs would only be phased out as UBI-counted-as-income resulted in eliminating eligibility for them.)
That's why I specifically said skills that are needed by the market.

There's no point in training everyone in say "acupuncture therapy" when there's no demand for it.

Sempre Health is bringing behavior-based pricing to healthcare. Patients receive texts like, "If you fill your Lipitor rx today, you’ll pay $5. If you wait till next week, you’ll pay your normal $15"

We parse millions of prescription records to identify unique patient behaviors. We use this data to predict & seamlessly deliver the right price for the right patient to every pharmacy in the country.

Tokyo has a couple things that the Bay Area does not.

1) Zoning happens at the national level in Japan, not the local level so there are no, or at least very weak political mechanisms for neighbors to block projects.

2) There is no Proposition 13, which caps property tax levels for incumbent homeowners. What this means is that transit providers can pay for infrastructure needs through increases in land value created by better connections to transportation. California can't do this because if it improves infrastructure or experiences an economic boom, the incumbent property owners basically get to appropriate all the increases in land value.
Yeah, same here. This comment thread is bizarre. I've been writing web apps that serve an industry where users don't install their software but their IT department does on their behalf: hospitals, but schools and government agencies are very similar, as well. Many of these apps are required to support back to IE8. For better or worse, that is the world some of these apps must live in.
Just to add, but a lot of responsibility is being dumped on western nations who are acting out of humanity. But no one is mentioning the complete failure of extremely rich and near by Muslim nations from doing anything (Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Singapore). Countries with the same underpinning religion as a majority of refugees won't even accept them, and this really shows their own values. For humanities sake, we accept refugees, but don't be a fool and think its going to go well.

products bad, good, and great. You will also get to create demos and
establish benchmarks.

We seek someone with strong technical communication skills, an
understanding of tools, at least 2 years experience in C and/or C++,
experience with UNIX and scripting languages, and a bachelor’s degree in a
related field.

Searching for high-performing Data, Backend, Go, and DevOps Engineers!

Gametime connects communities through frictionless and beautiful mobile applications. We believe communities get closer when people get off the couch and have fun at a live event. Backed by Accel Partners as well as team owners Jeff Mallett (Giants / Whitecaps / Derby FC), Vivek Ranadive (Kings), and David Blitzer (76ers / Devils) we've raised $13mm.

Red Comet Labs | South Africa | Javascript Developer | REMOTE

HOW WE WORK

Project-based work for clients. The majority of our work involves working with clients to build excellent applications. Tools and technologies we use include: React.js, Redux, D3.js, CouchDB, PouchDB and Node.js.
Remote work. We currently have developers in Joburg and Cape Town and we’re committed to remote work. Although we’d like to keep the team in South Africa for the meantime, there’s the potential for you to work from anywhere in the world.
Small team of smart developers. You’d be working with developers who are really making their mark in their area of specialisation. Because we’re a small team, you’ll be able to gain experience in the entire application development process – frontend and backend development, design, UX, devops, testing, project management – whatever you’re keen on.
Flexible contracting/employment structure. We realise everyone wants to work in a different way, so if you’re the right fit, we’re happy to structure a working relationship that suits both you and us, whether that’s full time employment, or a more flexible contracting arrangement.
We aim for a calm, organised working environment where work forms a part of a balanced life. If we’re working through the night or over weekends, then we’ve done something horribly wrong. This means we work hard during our working time, plan carefully and keep the focus on getting things done well.

HOW TO APPLY

Send an email to garren@redcometlabs.com in which you explain why you’d be suitable for this position. Please include:

A link to your GitHub profile
A concise CV, edited to highlight how your skills would fit this role (no Matric marks required!)

"If the application really is schema-less and has a lot of optional parameters that do not appear in every record, serializing the data in one column can be a better idea than having many extra columns that are NULL."

Why not just use a document oriented database instead? Seems like a good use case for MongoDB for example: https://www.mongodb.com/compare/mongodb-mysql

Self Employment: The Paradox of Choice
It may be that it's just not obvious what the individual rent values are in the model, and that they do go down when the supply goes up. The only numbers visibly shown in the model are the number of units, the tax revenue, and the number of "affordable units"; the model doesn't display the expected distribution of rents, or the actual threshold for "affordable". As a result, it's hard to see how the parameters actually affect individual rents.

For the primary target audience (city planners), this makes sense.
To riff on jcranmer's excellent comment:

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without the failure of the Ottoman Empire to create a unified culture and nation state.

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without Religious rivalry between Sunni and Shiite Islam.

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without Regional rivalry between Saudi Arabia (an autocratic Sunni state heavily reliant on a very conservative sect (Wahhabi) for legitimacy) and Iran (a theocratic Shiite state).

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without Oil being the main economic mainstay, and not being conveniently divvied up among different ethnic regions

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without Great power ambitions on the part of Turkey

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without Superpower ambitions on the part of Russia

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without The failure of any state in the region to produce viable governments with strong internal legitimacy, rather than series of political "revolutions" that led to changing merely of who was treating the state as their feeding trough

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without Western engagement in the region

* it's impossible to see full blown civil war happening without Western disengagement in the region

Cloud, servers.. I get it, Intel is well established there, but IoT ? Do they have a foothold in this area ? When I look on their page I don't see anything promising.. and when I think of IoT, I imagine some low power ARM SOCs like Raspbery Pis combined with Arduinos rather then anything Intel sells today.

Salesforce Will Acquire Demandware for $2.8B
I was curious, too, and found this:

http://cseligman.com/text/planets/magnetism.htm

The author estimates Mars' core temperature to be 5000-7000F, compared to an estimate of around 14000F for Earth. Obviously, the planets' respective compositions are different, so I'm not sure if one could just scale a temperature estimate linearly---but what the heck, this is the Internet and no one's grading me, right? ;)

So the core temperature ratio is 5/14, and the size ratio is 1/3, so:

(5/14) * (1/3) * 44F = ~5F

That comports with the current consensus regarding subsurface water, because scientists think that it's likely frozen or perhaps a brine (which would depress the solution's freezing point below that of pure water).

Tunneling is probably a good idea anyway, because the surrounding rock will protect and insulate the habitat even if the subsurface temperatures aren't enough to warm it.

Edited: Oh for God's sake, I confused degrees Fahrenheit with degrees Celsius.

Government policy determines the price of land. Land is a major component of the cost of housing, so it stands to reason that government intervention in housing policy can make housing less expensive.

For instance, imposing a very high land value tax would reduce the value of land, which would in turn reduce the cost of housing.
