> The Olympics are truly not about money for the athletes. And indeed, they cannot be.

> The rest of the athletes are there because they love the competition. And there's nothing wrong with that! It's truly a win-win that hundreds of athletes are living out their dreams by competing for a gold medal in canoeing or archery or what-have-you, and that somebody will even be watching them do it.

This line of argument is what enables corporations, advertisers and governments to exploit athletes and the tax-payers of host countries to the tune of billions every year. Same as how the NCAA exploits college athletics.

> ((This is also why NBA players earn by far the highest salaries among U.S. athletes - basketball allows for much more player/fan connection than any other major sport.))

The highest salaries among U.S. athletes are earned by baseball players, and it's not even close:

Freelance technical writing opportunities
I'm looking for more information/ opportunities on freelance technical writing. I've recently been made aware of this niche, and was told it would be a good fit for me. I currently work as an engineer in the auto industry, and am interested in learning more about technical writing as a career.
Thanks!
At this point, I think this is a show, mainly with an eye to avoiding or overcoming any future criminal liability.
Hey there. I'm not seeing a lot of hardware engineering positions in Mountain View. Do you think there is room for a robotics hacker like myself? Thanks.

I was also completely unaware that Java had a macro system. I'll have to check that out.
I am not an economist and would be interested in such a reference, too.

My guess is that as long as there is even tiny growth, central banks can react with negative interest rates/taxing cash. It will take quite a while until there is no growth at all on the whole world. I think even Western countries have room for growth by mandating green standards.

When less and less growth is possible any more, I imagine we would have to start socializing industries, which reached that point, so they are taken out of the equation. People would then get a basic income and use it to pay for state provided services, which would not deflate, because the state does not have to care about market prices, it can just regulate competition. I think the problem here is more to find the right time for it, not the solution itself.
I don't think it's fair to expect most high schoolers to be as clear headed as you were. Many Olympic athletes train since they are kids, before they even know what .001% means.

SEEKING WORK -- Remote, based in Minneapolis

Hey! I'm John and I'm a full-stack generalist web developer. Freelance for the last 12 years. I split my time about 75/25 between direct-to-client web software projects and CMS-driven website projects (Craft CMS, Expression Engine, custom PHP CMS, etc). Experience in jQuery, Backbone, React (React Native too) for front-end stuff - PHP, MySQL, Mongo, Elastic, etc for backend. My main focuses over the past few years have been medical software projects and audio management software.

PTRx.org - a web-based video delivery system for orthopedic providers to assign video prescriptions to their patients during recovery. Built an integration with Twilio's video and text chat aimed at HIPAA-compliant communication between providers and their patients. Backend built using CodeIgniter, Elastic, some API work with Zencoder and AWS.

The audio focused projects are all internal-network apps for commercial audio studio clients. They let commercial audio studios make their library of licensed tracks available for ad agencies, video production companies etc. Various workflows built out for billing, licensing, previewing tracks, etc. I'd be happy to show people around, but they're not publicly viewable. I currently have 3 clients using similar systems including 1 major "extreme sports" brand.

Happy to chat/coffee/beer, remote or local to the Twin Cities. Looking for remote/off-site work.

Know Your Company’s best month ever
I do care. If I buy stocks to hold and sometimes re-balance the difference between spreads between liquid stocks (as in markets with active HFTs) and not liquid stocks (as for example in market in my country) is huge. Those things add-up.

I also want efficient arbitrage done by HFTs. I don't want to sell or buy being unaware of some important news. HFTs ensure I get a fair price without following the news every time I want to buy/sell something. The more efficient the market, the more liquidity and the lower the spreads - the better it is for me as an individual buy and holder.
> I still can't quite put my finger on the security risk for others, can you help explain what makes it one?

FWIW, here's the way I see this actually going down:

1) Within a decade or two, you forget or are unavailable to renew.
2) Domain squatter takes over and spams ads.
3) It's 2036 and we still have 0-days and browser exploits.
A company making microwave ovens is not an academic. They could have had an intern figure it out. Without a reason to share such knowledge (aka financial incentive) a company will usually not.
Federal funding would help those candidates get national TV ads and in front of more people in general. Then, with the added legitimacy of a 3rd party with that kind of money to splash around, they would likely be included in more prime time debates and other forms of media coverage. The two incumbent parties would also start to pay attention to the newcomer. It isn't a 4 or 8 year fix, but I believe it would be a major step in the right direction for this country.

> But how do you query your LDAP server without installing additional tools? Because in 2016, we have more than one machine. Hundreds. Grepping /etc/passwd is missing the forest for the trees.

You are missing my point, it's about being able to filter and transform textual output. If a sysop can only do what the UI provides s/he is useless when creative solutions are asked for.

> You can have all the shell experts, I need people who can write Chef code that passes peer review. kitchen lets us poke around the OS all we want to inspect proper functioning.

Every good sysop I've met can write your Chef code. Understanding system basics and managing with high level tools is not mutually exclusive. Tools like Chef are the result of exactly those sysops automating what they could. You know that saying? "Tomorrow I'll replace you with a shell script." ;)

> So you willingly admit you haven't upgraded your kernels in years?

Yes, I only update when a security problem concerns me and that is pretty rare with custom kernels that only have what is required. Even my desktop setups need a new kernel only once a year or so.
"Intelligence" and not doing dumb things are related in the same way that money is the difference between a Chevy Aveo and an S-Class. Input and output are obviously related but it's nowhere a X:1 relationship (for small values of X). Just being "twice as intelligent" might make you more likely to be a successful parent but not twice as likely in the same way that spending 4x as much on some product doesn't get you something that's 4x better than the entry level item.

There's a correlation between rich/poor/smart/dumb and parenting effectiveness but there's so much noise that nobody's surprised when a rich smart couple has a deadbeat kid or vise versa.

Just being smart won't save her if she's a crap parent but people are resilient enough that unless she's really good or really bad it probably won't make a huge difference a decade down the road.
We spend years learning "spelling", because the mathematical equivalent (arithmetic, up through calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, discrete math, etc) is incredibly valuable on its own—and that that value doesn't really require familiarity with the proof-based foundations underpinning it. Learning real analysis is valuable if you're going to be a mathematician, but as an engineer it won't help you get more out of calculus (at least, not compared to the cost of learning it).

IMHO Contracting rates based on GULP are totally BS.

If you make €60K you are very good for beeing a self employed (programmer) and make more money than many not self employed programmers (yes, even when you subtract all taxes, health insurance and your private retirement arrangements).

Specialists in big corporates earn of course more (what GULP is targeting), but then at first place you have to be a specialist and need to have the expertise.

Also don't forget that many people do not have work the whole time... so you have to see the GULP rates also in contrast to gap times where you have no income.

GetThere / Sabre | Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (Southlake) | ONSITE

We're looking for a web application developer to join our travel technology team. We're responsible for the user interface of the GetThere online booking system, which is used by millions of business travelers in over 90 countries. Our team consists of about 10 people, which includes developers, automation engineers, UX designers, and a product owner.

We also handle accessibility, web security, internationalization, unit tests, and web automation tests. The system has been around for a while, and we're continuously refining and improving it.

Let me know if you have any questions, or apply here:

It's not very well known, but if a candidate gets at least 5% of the popular vote then their party gets access to government funding for the next election. 5% is still a pretty tall order (Libertarian party got around 1% in 2012), but it's in the realm of plausibility.

The fact that it's based on the popular vote is great because the Electoral College doesn't get in way. Interestingly, if you live in a state that isn't a swing state, voting third party is possibly more meaningful than voting R or D. For example, if you live in California, voting for Clinton is unnecessary and voting for Trump is pointless, but voting for Stein or Johnson could actually have a real effect.

I suppose it could be considered AR. But where do you draw the line? Is Google Maps with certain businesses outlined AR because it's an augmented version of the real world?

Personally I limit what I consider AR to be graphics superimposed on a real world view. With the maps in Pokemon GO, the real world and game are distinct, almost like VR.
Perhaps, but if (and that's a big if) that's the main reason behind these articles, then I'm disappointed in these authors for not being above such pettiness. Or maybe my expectation of more dispassionate articles is naive...

But hopefully the "if" condition of the previous paragraph evaluates to false. :)
Inline HTML editors vs. Page Builders: the growing void
An Easy Service Proxy Executor for WCF (2014)
There is an implicit assumption in this entire article:

That if you can't come to an agreeable negotiation of salary, you can walk away from offer N because there will be an offer N+1.

Maybe in The Valley or Manhattan or Austin, but in many other places, there is no "N+1". You don't have that implicit position of power with Company N that Company N+1 will give you what you're asking for. Or you don't have time to find N+1 before N-1 becomes untenable (or non-existent).

And yes, I'm talking about developer jobs.
And then the server wouldn't know what the specs of your browser are and either send you useless pages or not send you anything at all. The browser is designed to let the server and client side scripting languages know what it is and what it's capable off. There is simply no scenario where you can have a usable internet without sending any parameters on what you want to the party owning the website. It's like trying to use the internet without using TCP/IP...
