Hey all! My name's Neill. I'm your local linux enthusiast, web developer, cyclist, travel bug, anime fan, serial entrepreneur addicted to making cool stuff with awesome people.

I'm an experienced full-stack engineer and have been working with various companies and startups over the past four years and have taken on roles that include quality assurance engineering, frontend web development, mobile development, backend / database work, linux server administration.. if you have a vision I can own development from front to back and make it happen.

I'm always on the lookout for awesome workplaces with strong, engineering-driven culture to connect with and possibly be a part of and help grow. I learn very quickly and am always excited for whatever comes my way.
We paid $128k, which was asking, and 3.5x seller discretionary earnings (basically revenue minus expenses, where expenses don't include any money the seller chooses to take out like his salary or healthcare, etc). Our opening offer was 2.8x SDE. We came up because we looked at our alternatives to buying it and they were unpalatable - we really liked Codetree because it ticked a lot of the boxes for us.

Transactions of this size typically go for between 2.5-4x SDE.

Fees, if any, were paid by the seller.
Here's another interesting point to consider. Once you started exposing computers to the Internet directly, just about every OS had to be rebooted very frequently.

I think you may be able to discover actual IP addresses with WebRTC. If the host is on IPv6 then it may well be a public adress. Hence it would be impossible to define "local" in this setup.

Insurance. People don't spend tens of millions of $ sticking electronics on top of giant fireworks tubes without hedging the risks involved. If this is getting you int he feelz then you need to get out a bit more, this is merely a hiccup.

Sure, it will delay some things in Africa, but we can't easily say whether that delay will be good or bad. For all we know people will be better off due to the delay as it may be less disruptive of existing economic structures, notwithstanding their long-term inefficiency. You're assuming incorrectly that the consequences of this satellite deployment would have been all upside and no downside, but such effects are not reliably quantifiable.
Campspot | Anywhere USA | Full Time | REMOTE | Dev Ops

Campspot (campspot.com) is looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer. Our stack is Java (Dropwizard), NodeJS (Loopback), and Angular. All of our infrastructure runs on AWS.

Our engineering team is entirely remote with the US. Come join a small, awesome team working on revolutionizing the campground industry.
One could even make the argument that a literal translation of 'star-crossed' would be equally correct; if the corresponding construct of adverse astrology exists in the language being translated into, the literal translation preserves the cosmological scope, while wretched, even though it demonstrates insight into an aspect of what 'star-crossed' means, strips away that crucial facet of the meaning. These lovers aren't wretched because of illness or poverty. They're wretched because of destiny.

+1 for Darmok. If you can handle his particular affinity for the sound of his own pen scratch, Hofstader's Le Ton Beau de Marot is another excellent discussion of how -hard- translation is.
It's visible-source, not open source. https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap/blob/master/COPYING

Haswell?
That's my thought. I counted about 12 seconds between initial explosion and the sound hitting the camera, which puts it at roughly 2.88km away.

Edit: Helps if I multiply properly. 12 seconds * 340m/s == 4080m.
I like the momentum, but on mobile (iPad) each move is a new place in my back history.
Imagine how stressful that job would be when astronauts are the payload!
Oh, thanks, of course you're right.

Except for devices that are hackable in practice, but aren't much so because of this heartwarming attitude.

It's not unusual that someone had managed to build the kernel that boots (and even works well) but doesn't know how to interface some hardware. E.g. a hardware NAT engine of a SOHO router, so FLOSS firmwares have to NAT in software. Or some sensor on a phone. The secret is in the kernel and that kernel's source's supposed to be available but it isn't.

The video points out two of the protection features, but they wouldn't do so well with a RUD.

The tower features - the hold-down arms, etc - are painted with a sacrificial paint. The idea is that it's the paint that chars and burns, rather than the tower features.

Then there's the water deluge system.

In the video, the rocket and exhaust is clear of the tower, and the fires are out, within 30 seconds. Neither the sacrificial paint nor the water deluge are designed to handle long-duration fires from a RUD.

After a 2014 Antares rocket failure, the launchpad at Wallops Flight Facility took 1 year and $15 million to repair [1].

Good point - still have to take off and land in the airplane right? I used to fly in my Dad's two seater, and I can remember him being very grateful there was a small, municipal airport in Dubois, WY where we could land and fuel up.
I've become increasingly complacent and often allow NoScript to "temporarily allow all javascript on this page", but will stop doing it, having just tried the PoC. It found Redis (which runs in a container, but with the port exposed).

The PoC failed to work when using TorBrowser (with the security slider set to High) and letting NoScript temporarily allow.
This is simply outdated and wrong information. M:Tier does not employ "the same people that have built OpenBSD packages in the first place." Last I checked, naddy@ built the AMD64 packages. He does not work there. In fact, I don't know if any OpenBSD developers still work there. Maybe one (jasper@) but you'd need to ask them.

It's pretty easy to mate an interchangeable lens camera (DSLR, Micro Four Thirds, etc) with a small telescope. There are standard adapters for it. That basically gives you the telephoto lens to rule all telephoto lenses.
All fair options, but sacrificing one group of shareholders for another seems to carry its own risks.
Why the US Fed Must Be Careful with Interest Hike
One guess: the routing problem(the vehicle routing problem) is a core computer science problem, for decades. Tons of research have been done about it. I don't expect Google or Uber to have any breakthroughs there, because it's pure luck. But maybe they will, or maybe they'll will ackuire someone. Let's put it down to pure luck.

But assuming no brekathrough happens: one company that has tons of experience in that field is UPS, they are just finishing building a new system for running their vehicle-routing for 50K routes in the US daily, ~120 points per route, i.e. 600K customers daily. They invested ~$300 million in that system(and they employe hundreds of phd's) and they say it will give them a savings of less than 1% of revenue - just to get a sense how mature those systems are.

On the other hand, it seems that have larger access to customers could enable much more ideal routes, both in cost, customer time and maybe social factor(if social matches will be part of ride sharing). So i believe that to be key to winning.

And i don't think anybody can beat Google in marketing to android users, and even in the US, with iPhone's 40% share(but more wealthy users) - that's avery big advantage for Google.

On the other hand, i think Google prefer not to start a huge service that employs many people, and than have self-driving cars make them unemployed and suffer the huge reputational damage. So they won't go into true shared taxis like ridewithvia.com seems to be doing very sucsessfuly, and instead stick with wazer-rider , enabling drivers to give a lift to poeple for some very modest fee.

So to a certain extent, the winner in that battle would be determined by which approach of those two will win.
Whilst I'm also interested in the actual numbers :) I'm also interested to learn how you came about an evaluation.

Was it based on user count, current revenue, growth potential, etc?

Thanks.

$80K - $140k - Special Ops (Coding || Writing || Design || Products || Research || Business || Venture Capital || M&A)

Hiring incredibly smart folks with a no-nonense approach to communicating, creating, and maintaining relationships. This is the fastest way to become an insider in SV / tech.

This is role will put you in front of every kind of project you can imagine. Get on a flight to Southeast Asia to negotiate a contract with high ranking government officials. Code (or hire coders to create) an MVP for 3d printer IDE. Re-design everything about company in 48 hours (logo, name, press kit, marketing message, hiring, etc.) and then see it live on Techcrunch. Diligence a $2M investment. Edit an masterpiece for Forbes. Co-create a new class on corporate venture capital. Jump in to help a team scaling from 100k to 100M users in 4 weeks.

These examples hopefully provide you a sense of the adventure you in for. You'll work on a tiny team of brilliant folks on a range of projects I am involved in. It's important we hit it off: I like no no-nonsense folks who jump in and make everything they touch better. Communicators rule the world, so you better be good at writing and speaking. Your ambitions should include something grand. You think it's worth it to pick up the refreshments and chauffeur a guest to an engagement in order to get 10 minutes with a world famous entrepreneur.

I like people who have done the hard things, failed (or not), and still have the curiosity an enthusiasm to get back up and go full speed ahead. Most importantly, you need to be really really good at something.

Please email my chief of staff keela@fu.team with the following subject line: Apply: Special Ops (SKILLSET) - NAME - REMOTE|TOKYO|SF

The body should include an introduction and personal note
SKILLSET should be something you're spectacular at.

How does running a private delayed-stream of court hearing have anything to do with the "our rights" you're concerned about?

This whole brouhaha was never about bringing video equipment into a courtroom for publicity.
I run OpenBSD on a T420s and an X220i without any trouble, but I made very sure to get Intel graphics and WiFi as Nvidia and Broadcom are not supported.
You're right, I did take it off codecanyon. It wasn't the right place for it. I'll also admit that there was a period where support wasn't that great. But I've done a lot to improve it since then and now I have a support center, a support community, and a formal support ticketing process....instead of the email based support I was attempting to provide, which is impossible to keep up with. And regardless of whether you purchased the app on Codecanyon, you're still eligible to receive support even though I no longer sell there. Anyway, I'm really sorry you had a bad experience, but I'm happy to help with any issues had or are still having.
I think that answers my question, thanks... Sounds like pretty straight forward maths for the most part :)
Uber has the advantage because they have been "Doing things that don't scale" and have a large knowledgebase of how to effectively operate a taxi service, with customer info/ratings as well. User experience trumps routing algorithms.

> You don't have a right to modify the device you purchased

Actually, at least in some jurisdictions, you do. What you don't have is an obligation that device vendor helps you - unless they took some obligations to do so (and GPL is one).

But it's entirely another story that they had chosen to use GNU or Linux bits in their software.
This is a crazy idea, but why cash cow Apple lend some money to Elon & Co.? It should be a win-win situation (Apple takes a share of Tesla and perhaps tapping into Tesla's core EV tech/batteries production capability) and Tesla get to alleviate the cash situation.

Ultimately, Tesla and Apple must join forces in order to advance / accelerate the sustainable transportation.

Demand. No one is clamoring to buy Panosonic batteries. They are clamoring to buy Tesla vehicles (which so happen to require quite a few cells).
If you don't know what "static" means then sure, that's a good thing to learn because it's an important concept to understand how the code will behave. But a lot of programming stuff is either syntax or just convention/The Way It's Done.

Why is it static void main(argc, argv) in Java? Well, that's the way C did it. Why did C give main() function arguments, as opposed to (say) environment variables? Well, that's just the way it's done. Why is return 0 success and other values fail? Convention. Why are curly braces used to delimit code and parentheses used to delimit arguments? Because the spec authors said so.

Basically, I think most of what constitutes programming can be done without ever typing a line of code. It's the process of decomposing a large task into small, simple ones, in a way that can be processed efficiently. The rest is just notation.

Pedagogy is absolutely fine, but at the same time we all stand on the shoulders of giants. Nobody is writing their own TCP/IP stack, we all rely on "copied and pasted" code (encapsulated in a library) so that we can focus on business logic. Obviously if you don't know what you're doing you can easily cause a mess, but the physical act of typing is probably the least important part of programming. Conceptual understanding is what matters, and the random syntax and half dozen keyword modifiers you will learn by typing are not going to push you very far in conceptual understanding.
This makes sense for consumer examples, but not for investment examples.

Would you like to have $150,000 in your retirement account, or would you rather have $333,000 in your retirement account?
If he ever worked with a convoluted business and data layer with about seven layers of boilerplate code that needs to be written every time a new feature is added, I doubt he'd still be singing the tune that everything must be typed. Because typing all that is a chore, not a benefit.

But that being said, when learning something new I do tend to type it out myself to help reinforce things. Same reason I handwrote my notes in college.

But I'm not going to type everything all the time. I'll get carpal tunnel, and it'd take me a lot longer to get tasks done.

Toward Automated Discovery of Artistic Influence (2014)
> Not only is it difficult to replicate the literal meaning of individual words and the structure of phrases, but it seems inextricably hard to replicate the sentiment and cultural context of words (nevermind idioms).

And its even harder than either to replicate (or even reliably get the best available approximation of) the interaction of literal meaning with sentiment and cultural context that drives a lot of artistic use of language (not just something like poetry, but even the language of a lot of fiction or oratory.)
It wasn't carrying it though, it was just a test.

What kind of technical due diligence did you do?
Most of the stuff on which we engineers work ends up in the bin anyway.

I just mention this case because it was the most ridiculous that happened to me but a large majority of others projects I've worked ended up in the bin a way or another, or should have because they are designed from scratch to be useless.

I forgot that with Prime you get free unlimited photo storage (a lookalike of the $12/year tier) until a sibling comment on the OP.

Since then I've done bursts of uploading with rclone from two different networks, first a slower one, and then a faster one. Amazon throttles you pretty aggressively, and rclone occasionally just appears to pause indefinitely (on Win64) as it's waiting for the pacer or a response. It's a bit annoying and confusing and I'm not sure how to proceed other than to kill the process.

Luckily it's nondestructive to just start it again with the same args. Though low-tech, a wrapper script around it could automate that away too.
