Locus is hiring back-end and front-end devs. At Locus we have an ambitious goal of Scheduling & Tracking the World transport movement. We are aware of how audacious the goal is, but we have made our initial strong footholds and have the path to move forward.

Engineers: We have always maintained a small, but high-caliber engineering team, and we are now looking to make a couple of additions.

We are tech stack agnostic. We would prefer to have a look at your GitHub repo or a mobile app that you have built, over your academic/educational qualification. We are a founding team of engineers, and understand that good engineering is part science part art, we would like to provide you the tools for the science and the time for the art. We are expanding the team to build the next version of our true multi-tenant platform with a few thousand events happening per second.

While we have pizza, beer, whisky, drones, oculus rifts, raspberry PIs on the house, the biggest perk we provide you is a remarkable team. We would love to spend our most productive years, around people with great intellect and unbridled enthusiasm. In the spirit of keeping you at your productive best, we give you free fully furnished housing with internet, food & laundry taken care of, and your choice of tech gear.

Two forms for enhanced absorption have been used in supplements. First there is longvida curcumin (I purchase this through NOW), and the second is the aforementioned black-pepper mixture. Both have shown increased absorption into serum. I take 800mg per day. Check the bredesen protocol for more information.
Same here. I'm immediately disinterested after finding out it's not open source. I've been looking for an OSS alternative for quite some time (CBA to write one, maybe I should start a project..)
I totally agree and Cesium is a really cool project and I encourage people to check it out (the number of interesting applications they showcase is really impressive). Just proud of what our team has come up with and wanted to share.

But tobacco itself is pernicious, and toxic - it's can be mixed with water and used as an insecticide.
Because job listings are overwhelmingly asking for more than they mean. "10+ years experience" means "a couple years if we like you". "CS degree or similar required" may as well not be there on the listings that have it. The responsibility of figuring out whether they're qualified is yours, not the candidate's. How the hell is he supposed to know what your needs are? You should have figured this out in an email or quick phone screen.

Additionally, you're a terrible interviewer if someone is failing miserably. There is no valuable data to use from this situation. Turn it down until they stop failing, and see how far it can be pushed. I'm sure you know this, but decided to be a prick instead.

There's nothing dishonest about using wording from someone else's resume. If I did it and someone asked about it, I'd definitely say "I saw how someone else phrased it and found it really good, so I used it too" and obviously wouldn't put it down if it wasn't true. This guy probably would have said something similar if you didn't throw it in his face and make him so uncomfortable.
Refusing to hear out opinions you expect to disagree with isn't healthy. I don't care for the WSJ's biases either, but I'm going to at least look at their arguments.
One of the reasons why I fired my bizdev guy was that he didn't see there was a problem with Linkurious not using their own product on their own web site. (i.e. Linkurious uses WebGL)

All rockets launched in the US have to have one, though :-)
And somehow even with favorable terms Solar City is hemorrhaging cash and has a grim outlook for the future.
That's hilarious. It reminds me of playing Papyrus' IndyCar Racing on my PC as a kid. I quickly tired of trying to avoid wrecks and win races. It was much more fun to drive the opposite way around the track to see how much havoc I could cause.
That's not what happened - the rocket went out of control due to a software bug allowed by over-reliance on unit testing, and was quite properly deliberately destroyed.

But yes, Cluster was run on the cheap, hence the use of the Ariane 5 test flight, and didn't have insurance.

AudioAddict is a thriving software company building the infrastructure that powers DI.FM, RadioTunes.com, JazzRadio.com, RockRadio.com, ClassicalRadio.com, and other expertly curated internet radio properties.

We currently support native apps for iOS and Android, with other devices of all sizes and shapes still to come. We’re looking for someone with the expertise to plan for and support our current apps, and the foresight to adapt as our needs grow and change while assisting with management of a small team of mobile developers across multiple platforms.

This role is flexible in its nature. The position requires the skills of a strong technical lead and a strong project manager, but the blend of these two skillsets can be discussed and is open for interpretation. Experience with media streaming is a strong plus.

We're a midsized (~30 full time employees) organization where almost everyone works remote from wherever they are around the globe. We don't watch the clock or mandate any set schedule outside of occasional (teleconference) meetings - we're just looking for kickass work. We're great about ensuring you're set up with whatever you need to make your home office work, and music isn't just our business, it runs in the blood of the company - we're DJs, audio engineers, performers, and more... all supporting streaming of great music to a fanbase who has been listening to us for more than a decade.

>Really outside of the FSF, the only adoption is in dual-licensers who use it to drive purchases of the alternatively-licensed sources.

Not true. There are tons of projects that use GPLv3+ or GPLv2+. There's certainly adoption.

– Luke Galea, CTO
Most of the wealthy people I know are not lucky, but the opposite: They were bullied, sexually or physically abused, had their parents die as kids...

People like Elon Musk for example had lots of problems as a kid, he was bullied a lot.

Steve Jobs also had a lot of problems and as a person he was very difficult to manage.

Steve Blank had lots of problems in his childhood too.

I personally know well one of the richest persons in the planet, because of a common hobby. I am not that rich, I don't envy this person and what he went through.Life becomes so easy after that, even in hard times.

It is fairly common, it looks like if you survive such strong experiences it can benefit or punish the rest of your life. Some will go to the streets , others will rule companies.

In particular, I believe it has a lot to do with your attitudes toward risk. And of course luck, but most of these people can help but keep trying.

If you try 10 times and fail most people just leave. But if you continue and success in the 12th, it is no luck. In fact if you never succeed your behavior will be called and obsessive compulsive and pathologic.

How many times Elon Musk tried to launch and then land a rocket?, the personal risk that he took was astronomical, most normal people will leave soon under the same circumstances.

I have seen people doing that, succeeding only at the end, for example when normal people did it in search for gold it was called the "gold fever", because people kept trying and trying, even with failure after failure.

Of course when you succeed everybody knew you were the man(the same people that criticized you when you failed), everybody wants to be your friend, and politicians want the money you have(and want to raise your taxes with excuses like how lucky you are or not being fair).
Fair enough; it was one fairly ambiguous sentence and easy to miss.

Not meaning to criticize the article - which I found very interesting - just felt it could be a good conversation thread to discuss an aspect the article didn't really cover.
That links to http://www.thespacereview.com/article/2323/1 where one of the comments is:

> Like Russian vehicles, there is no flight termination system that receives ground commands onboard Chinese launch vehicles. Only US and ESA launch sites have such a system. Correction, Falcon 1 did not have such a system for launching on Kwaj.

I was wondering where the surge in articles requested was coming from... Cool to see it reposted.

> Egomaniacal, narcissistic, who cares? There is decent consensus that these qualities benefit entrepreneurs and leaders.

It's possible that they benefit leaders on average but can also cause black-swan cases of terrible decision-making, which I think is the argument against the SolarCity purchase here. Tragic flaws and all that.

> I'm not aware of anyone doing this strategically, building bridges from both the supply and demand side, and at this scale.

I mentioned this in a previous comment about the SolarCity merger: most people agree it makes sense strategically. We're wondering whether it's a good move tactically, for a company in a stable-but-iffy cash flow situation to buy another company that was hemorrhaging cash and wasn't expected to continue as a going concern for much longer.

I don't think they're buying solar city, isn't it a pure stock swap?

The big issue is that SolarCity is barely hanging on while Tesla has been on a tear (at least PR wise), so hanging an anchor around its neck seems silly. Everyone was expecting Tesla to need to raise cash to scale model 3 production, so this wouldn't have been news is SolarCity weren't in the picture.
Attacker-controlled format strings are very convenient bugs, but they can't do everything.
Consider the program:

int main() {
char buf[20];
fgets(buf, sizeof buf, stdin);
printf(buf);
return 0;
}

An attacker writing to the program's stdin can read at offsets to the stack (e.g. "%42$x"), read the contents of arbitrary non-null memory (e.g. "ABCD%5$s", where ABCD is a 32-bit memory address, and 5 is the positional parameter corresponding to the start of buf), and write an arbitrary value to an arbitrary address (e.g. "ABCD%38x%5$n", to write the value 42 to address 0x44434241).

A significant limitation of the vulnerability in the above program is the attacker can't, in a single execution of the program, read a value, then do computations on it locally, then write a value based on those computations. This flexibility is needed in order to bypass ASLR.
There seems to be a growing amount of "liquidity" outside of IPOs . . . almost a transition from "liquidity events" to simple . . . "liquidity" . . .
It's exciting to see new innovative open source contributions to the big data space. Since BigQuery has moved on in many ways from the ColumnIO and Dremel concepts described in the Dremel paper[0] with new versions of many of these components (like in-memory shuffle, new storage, new ingest, execution engine, etc), I'd love to learn where EventQL places itself in that gradient.

Statistics Explained Visually
As I mentioned earlier, I'm using Pocket (https://getpocket.com), which has worked out pretty well.

Pocket do not have a Readability import tool, but there's a third-party tool their support desk just provided a URL for, caveat emptor, etc., etc.

http://hsablonniere.github.io/readability2pocket/

Among other alternatives, I'll suggest giving https://pinboard.in from @idlewords (Maciej Czeglowski) a look as well. I actually think that might have a few other features I'd want, but am parking for now at Pocket (inertia, too many damned articles, the simplified reader view is really appreciated).

Black Swan Farming - Paul Graham

http://www.paulgraham.com/swan.html
I am not sure if "Big Data" is an accurate idea that fits Reliance's intentions to kick-start this. Surely, it sounds like a perfect recipe — onboard millions of customers and sell their 'data' — but on a secondary inspection it doesn't seems to be a smart idea.

Can you even imagine the scale needed to process this kind of data? That's petabytes (rough estimate), every day. Maybe, it's theoretically possible but any investment in this kind of technology would be enormous.

Browsing behaviour data maybe valuable but to what scale? Even a big advertising firm would balk at spending any big bucks for this and remember, the scale needed to mine any information out of this. How much valuable business insights can this generate that wasn't possible in the past?

Maybe I am wrong but I'd be very skeptical if selling is their master plan.
Can you prove any of this?

Knowing how smart and methodological Musk is, I wouldn't be surprised if the rule at the office is actually to leave your desk and go home at 5pm sharp.

You are prone to make more mistakes when you tired and overworked and I cannot imagine more important place not to make mistakes, than building a rocket.

Pwntools v3.0 Released
there have been dozens of open-source github-based invoicing, time tracking, pm tools. they're out there. go use one of those. don't start another one.
Did you know that SFC's GPL enforcement guidelines say that seeking financial gain from enforcement is not a goal? This isn't a money making venture.
The Android app has been similarly insanely buggy, and seems to want to completely re-download the article database every few uses. That was actually a big part of what pushed me to Pocket.
To be fair, nearly every country seems to be cheaper than Canada for mobile service.
