I'm leaving my AI gloves and scarf in the closet for a little longer.

I don't think there is a need for 'real AI' in order to replace a lot of humans. Just normal programming in the hands of non-tech office workers can already reduce a lot of human labor.
I'm amazed nobody has said Denver, Colorado yet. The combination of big city plus mountain geography is very unique in the US, but also anywhere in the world I think (I've heard suggestions that Zurich is similar r.e. geography, but the city isn't as big).

If you like being outdoors, this is the place. The culture here is exactly that: to be outside all the time skiing, cycling, climbing, hiking, etc.

The only downside is that it's quite expensive :(
Well, there's some hyperbole. The examples you list can mostly be built today, just not cost efficiently. Hardly teleportation, which violates our understanding of physics.
Related: last week I deployed my web app for the first time, on AWS. In two clicks and for free I've been able to create and configure two certificates, one for the React app on CloudFront and one for the API on BeanStalk. Really surprised and amazed how simple and smooth was the whole process. Thanks Amazon for this.
I was thinking of locking the UI to keep kids focused on finishing the worksheet before they ask for help to get a new one. But I agree it's currently hard to get back to get grid, I'll add support for navigating back to the grid to using the back button.

I don't disagree with any of that. The alternative though with opt out is that you're effectively not giving many people a choice because they don't get around to making one. Maybe that's ok as a matter of policy but it has both philosophical and practical issues.
Cool ! perfect explanation.

I'm not trying to make a serious point here and I don't know enough about the study to say that it was unethical, but this sounds terrifying and kind of like a bad prison experience.

> This is the first study of its kind to establish the relationship between short-term memory and prolonged stress. In the case of the mice, that meant repeat visits from a larger, nasty intruder mouse.

> Mice that were repeatedly exposed to the aggressive intruder had a hard time recalling where the escape hole was in a maze they’d mastered prior to the stressful period.
The IRS requires a number of conditions to be satisfied before they will allow you to file as an expat.

It is also possible that someone can be paid in a fashion that doesn't incur additional local taxes but that the IRS sees as income.

If you live somewhere that uses a VAT or import duties instead of an income tax, well, good luck getting a credit for that.
> From a society's perspective opt-out makes perfect sense." It's very troubling to follow that line of thought. It's also arguably in societies interest to make all your private medical data publicly available for research and all your private communications, purchases and movements available to any government agency to prevent crime etc. How many people would be comfortable with what are considered by many to be fundamental rights being opt-in all of a sudden?

Straw man argument. People don't die with immediate effect for lack of public data.

> "The state isn't invading your corporeal sovereignty". It is, in the most fundamental and intimate way possible. If you support opt-out at least be honest about what it is. I carry an organ donation card but this is a line I think should not be crossed. There are alternative which don't make your body ownership opt-in (like doctors guidelines about approaching families etc).

You are dead. What rights do you really need and how are they violated?

Nonprofit/Church Technology: Sales Contract

Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance nonprofit impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.

We're in need of freelance sales help in 2017! We recently launched a product (Donation Spring - https://www.donationspring.com) and plan to aggressively promote it after the new year. Additionally, we continue to pitch our overall consulting and development services.

What I'm looking for:

- Someone with sales/marketing chops. A sales or account exec career history is helpful, but not a requirement -- we'll consider anyone with relevant backgrounds and personality/passion alignment.

- Experience/familiarity with the nonprofit and church industry.

- Major bonus points to bringing an existing network of nonprofit/church prospects.

- Located anywhere in the US. The more geographically diverse our team can be, the better.

- Freelance contract, part-time, at your own pace. Pay is a traditional commission based on account revenue (negotiable).

- Fun, easy going, and service-centered heart. Our primary focus is serving both nonprofit/church missions as well as helping their staff in any tech-centric way we can.

If that describes you, I'd love to chat!

Pento | Full stack developer | EU | REMOTE ONLY https://pento.dk

Come join us building a new payroll product for European small/medium sized businesses! A very conservative market with old competitors and products = tons of potential. We are a remote team, which means we have no office and you can work from wherever you want. We're all in on transparency, a great work culture and teamwork. Founders are 500 Startups alums and have previously worked on two startups, one of them out of Silicon Valley.

We're looking for a full stack web developer to join our remote team. Ideally, you are a person who is not only proficient in frontend and backend work, but also have some experience in DevOps and system architecture. As you will be part of the early team, you should be a fast learner and be able to work in different roles.

It's a classic dark pattern. I think many of the people supporting opt-out know that people would say no if confronted with the question so they support what I would call an an underhand and sinister approach. See the OP's response below "I would fear that for many people being confronted with this choice when you are renewing your driver's licence means defaulting for the 'safe' option of non-donor."
So then I assume you support prohibitions on drug use, the draft, etc.
The real and serious problem with this is that the organ donation process biases the medical profession into declaring you "dead" as soon as possible, and ideally even sooner, so that your organs are as fresh as possible.

A good security strategy is to implement custom security layer as a last resort. Doing so will have a much higher chance of introducing bugs that will allow attacker into your environment.
That's the spirit Kelsey! keep it up.
Access to guns is extremely restricted. Canada is the second largest country by land mass, and thus police protection is not readily available at all times. In these cases, and others where protection of life is concerned, hand guns and other firearms may be authorized. There should be no instance where a common civilian is issued a hand gun or the authority to do concealed carrying. I've been in Canada my whole life, the only guns I've seen are on the hips of police officers (they all carry tazers as well as a first line of defence) and held by armoured vehicle occupants. I have seen one hunting rifle, but you'd have a hard time carrying that around in public. Permits must be readily accessible at all times while in possession of a firearm.
I have to disagree. I know people who passed over good job offers overseas in order to remain in Budapest and raise their children. Good schools, affordable housing, a cheap & heavily utilized public transport system, respect for history and culture, forest/nature a max. half hour from anywhere in the city, and ironically, the recent politics have resulted in a safer climate compared to other cities in Europe.
ALE: Asynchronous Lint Engine for Vim
2016 is the year I began focusing my reading on subject histories and anything that places the western canon in clearer context, so reading Ceasars journal, Plato, stoics, and later writings from Hobbes have been influential.

Histories of accounting (Double Entry, a history of accounting, probably the best thing I read this year), general math (Taming the unknown, a history of algebra), management (A history of management thought) statistics (The lady tasting Tea), computing (The Innovators) education (anything John Taylor Gatto) and recently business law.

The change in my reading from latching onto whatever is new/popular/recommended to delving into the development of basics is one of the better changes I made to my readings, it's creating a richer, more clear, much more useful mental model of the world over the onslaught of articles and books that have X amount of tips on doing Y.

It looks like Django relies on client-side tokens embedded in cookies for CSRF protection, there is no server-side state that the attacker has to guess. A MITM can trick someone to visit http://example.com/, set their own token in a HTTP cookie for example.com, use the same token in the POST request to https://example.com and it will pass validation, as cookies set over HTTP are still sent to HTTPS.

Should be easy to mitigate this by using server-side CSRF state, or signing the tokens.
Wales has relatively recently moved to "opt-out". It appears to have already made a huge positive difference.

I was disgusted at how many people opted out though. The Welsh aren't generally thought of as selfish.

I had opted in long before the change, why would I hoard my meat bits when I die?

I should stress, in Wales at least, it is still worth explicitly opting in. The presumed consent only applies if you die in Wales. If you died on the wrong side of the Severn, like a trip to Cribbs Causeway over the border in England had a tragic twist, the presumed consent doesn't apply.
Recap: Advanced TDD Workshop with Uncle Bob
So if someone wants to drive 95 mph, everyone else in the left lane must merge right to get out of that speeder's way? At what speed does that policy no longer apply?

Speeding is like smoking and littering. Sure, many people ignore the signs telling them not to and police tend to ignore violations, but that doesn't mean I must respect the violator. As Paul Graham said, the normal action is perversely abnormal.
That's just Pax Americana - create instability, be the only stable nation, profit!
I travel to Switzerland quite often for work plus I have relatives living in Switzerland since ages and I used to live close to the Italian-Switzerland border. I would never move there as the country is so boring. Really, every time I travel to Zurich I get bored and annoyed like hell.
We assume that there will always be someone who knows it works.

With more systems working fully automated or administrated remotely, I think it's fully possible that for some niches there won't be anyone anymore with the exact technical details - or the only people who possess them will be sitting an ocean apart behind the walls of $megacorp and are not allowed to share the knowledge.

In fact, the current crisis in information security shows that even today, a lot of people have serious misconceptions how the systems they are using daily work - with practical consequences.

I last worked at MongoDB where I did systems/C++ work, added features and fixed bugs in the MongoDB database. I graduated a year ago and did six internships (Foursquare, MongoDB, Twilio,...). The internships consisted of mostly full-stack development and a touch of data infrastructure work.
Yes, I consider them anecdotal. If you have a billion people flipping coins, a few are for sure getting 20 tails in row, but that is no evidence that they would be better coin flippers than the others.

> The evidence does not show that their performance, as a profession, is random.

I think you are right, if I recall correctly, the evidence points to a conclusion that the performance of their profession is worse than random when you take fees into account...
nobody who is posting on HN will be living in englewood or east garfield park, so the relative effect of crime increases in chicago is almost totally irrelevant to their decision. It's a problem I want desperately to be solved too, but not because I'm deluded into thinking it's going to affect me in any way.

Other than the cold/hot weather, there's nothing more I could want out of chicago. As you said, the cost of living in comparison to other big cities is incredible.
Expensive? Relatively to Wichita KS?
> AFAIK, fixed batteries are located in the very same place as the removable ones: at the rear of the laptop.

Not typically. The tiny system board lives near the back of the laptop, to connect to the ports and the screen. (Often, the system board doesn't even take up the full width of the back of the laptop, and instead has ribbon cables connecting the ports on one side to the system board.) The battery takes up all the space under the front and middle of the laptop.

> They are not spread everywhere, there is no hyper-advanced design is that respect, and they definitely do not occupy 60-80% of the chassis.

I've seen the insides of many laptops, both in person and via pictures. I've seen battery cells laid out in many different shapes around the system board and other components, including Ls, Us, and Hs, and in multiple packets of cells with minimal connections between them.

As for "advanced design", https://www.apple.com/macbook/design/ made a point of talking about its terraced battery cells to fit the enclosure. And while some laptops might not go that far, I've seen many laptops shape groups of battery cells around other components to make a non-rectangular battery.

And as for volume, I've personally seen the internals of many laptops, and the better the laptop, the higher proportion of the volume that consists of battery cells. I wouldn't have given those estimated numbers if I hadn't seen laptops fitting both ends of that range and various points in the middle. (Some quick searches suggest that much smaller laptops, and lower-end laptops, may dip as low as 40-50% battery cells; medium and large laptops, and those intended as higher-end or with higher expected battery life, have more.)
What Would Happen If Ocean Water Was Replaced with Deuterium Oxide?
Excellent postmortem. They blame their code and Golang, but another problem is that their kernel ran time backwards to implement the leap second. That's really not the right way to do leap seconds, but is a common kludge because POSIX defines days as always having exactly 86,400 seconds.
