A couple of points, Photos:

Hire a decent photographer, large sensor, low f number. You'd be surprised what a good camera with a competent person running it will do. Go wide angle.

Your unique selling point should be the thought you put into the layout. Anyone can insulate and sling in some furniture, the real hard part is making the space lovable/liveable. Choose a theme or period, industrial is a good start. You have bamboo flooring, why not use it for the fittings?

o Put beading/moulding around the windows. Its simple and cheap.

o Match the doors and frames to the plywood/cladding

o Change the electrical outlets to metal, anything other than the stock white

o Use industrial light cases, it'll match the industrial look better

o Make sure the stuff you install is straight, and neat, the bed slats are wonky!

o The bamboo flooring looks great make use of it more!

o when taking the photos, think about where the light is coming from, make sure its streaming through the windows making the place look bright

Also, don't give up...

Nope. Never said anything about agreeing with that comment. I was strictly commenting on the "I am pretty happy with my employment. Paid vacation, paid sick days, reasonable hours and all that good stuff."

I'm not the lead developer (or involved with the project at all) and I also recommend it.

Only issues I have right now are:

- No app-fill on Android.

- No auto-fill (have to manually click the icon and select an account).

- When using Firefox the extension periodically logs out for no apparent reason.

- There's no address/wallet stuff so I actually have to pull out my credit cards.

Other than that it works pretty well.
Probably, but I did play super hard ball in negotiations with the builder. Without the realtor as the intermediary, I think we would have paid more.

Basically, the realtor provided a barrier between the builder and my wife who super loved the property. The realtor also had a relationship with the builder, so when I asked the builder to do X, I got a response super quick at 11:30 at night.

Don't underestimate the value of having connections. FYI my house appraised at like 10% higher than I purchased it, so we did get a deal.
I wouldn't ascribe malice. Most companies usually do it because the it's the safest way to avoid a legal fight. The more detailed and convoluted the contract becomes the more expensive and time-consuming it becomes to adjudicate. How do you decide whether a 'side-project' is related or unrelated to the work? It's easy to point out obvious cases. (E.g. "I'm a coder and I design a mini golf course for my buddy") but the reason why a company institutes these rules is not to take possession of your IP in these cases.
I think you are missing my point. Obviously if you work on projects related to your employer's business that is a conflict, even when executed in a clean room.

The question is, assuming all else is above board (totally unrelated to employer's business, on your own equipment, on your own time...), can you get nailed by eating a bag of work-provided Cheetos while hacking on your project?
They're at least independent questions. First you decide which you want, then you decide how much space, and then you decide if you want cellular.
Charging rent does have economic value.

Example: a retiree, using his retirement savings, purchases an apartment building. Now, he has a steady income, that he can use to pay for his expenses indefinitely -- as opposed to knowing he will run out of money at some point. The tenants benefit as well, because they have little savings, but an income instead (because they are still able to work, as opposed to the retiree). By exchanging income for wealth, the tenants and the retiree mutually satisfy each other's interests without harming anyone.
Charging rent is the means by which the owner is compensated for managing the risk of the asset for the sake of the inhabitant, dealing with local regulations, and checking the depreciation. The other examples are just abstractions, but the principle is the same: value isn't static. The underlying asset often has to be managed and its risks reevaluated. There is no guarantee that you just get to "sit there and rake in dividends".
Seriously?

I see SOOO many people making AMAZING things gluing stuff together. Maybe they're gluing together three.js with WebVR. Maybe they're gluing together the JS Magic Leap support with a Kintec and an arduino. I see artists making art throwing together Unity with a few plugins for networking etc.

Sound way WAY more fun than me writing

10 moveto rand(320), rand(240)
20 lineto rand(300), rand(240)
30 goto 10

If you like writing the low-level stuff that's great. Knock yourself out. Me, I want to move on to the bigger stuff. Some people like to build cameras, Others just like to use cameras to make movies. I'd prefer the later (but I'm glad someone likes to make the cameras so I don't have to)
Yeah, that was kind of unfortunate as it made the Intel Quark incompatible with all normal Linux distros. I don't think it even had any kind of microcode update facility, being effectively a slightly updated 486.
I never made any such claim nor would I agree with such a claim. Perhaps you should pay a bit more attention before getting outraged?
Ask HN: What is the best JavaScript framework for a multipage application?
Disclaimer: I am not a professional web developer. I have never seriously done front-end work.

I am writing an web application in Elixir/Phoenix. It is an app with many categories that does not fit the single-page application model.

That being said, I want it to look and feel like a modern web application by 2017's standards. Ideally, I could use a lean JavaScript framework for interactive UI elements, validation, assorted bells and whistles, etc.

Everything I've come across seems like absolute overkill for my needs. It's also hard to find a framework that isn't tightly coupled with the SPA label. I do not want to work around an SPA framework, nor do I wish to force my app to be an SPA.
Some brand of spray lubricant back in the 90's had a logo with three interlocking gears on the can.

Be very careful about that line of reasoning. My experience is that IT educated people are the least in touch with the mainstream world.

People suck at negotiating.

Last time I did a buy/sell we did a deal with the real estate broker where we paid her $1000 upfront (0.5%) to sell the house for a 3% commission vs 7%. The trick was we gave her 60 days to sell the house exclusively without going on MLS, and she would credit the $1000 after 60 days if it sold on MLS (which means she gets almost nothing).
> So the population of poor people ends up being self-selected for the personal qualities that lead someone to not pay their rent on time.

For qualities? Yes. For personal qualities? I disagree. It's easy to imagine someone someone not being able to keep up with rent due to circumstances out of their control.

I can see it as a kind of potential barrier. Those who can cross it will rise from poverty. Those who can't get stuck in it.
Really depends what you want to do.

The Intel Edison kit from Sparkfun has an OLED screen with buttons on it. You can easily add sensors, speakers, etc. It runs Linux and can act as an access point (but not at the same time you use it as a station) so you can ssh in from your phone and do more complex stuff. You'd need an enclosure of some kind but 3D printing is common these days.

Another option would be something like the TinyDuino, which has a wearable kit. It's Arduino but maybe it could be made to work.

The new Raspberry Pi Zero W would be the perfect form factor but I haven't seen any interesting in terms of wearables, and it runs at 5 volts which is a bit discouraging for this use case.
I think its a good analogy. Or just talk about the original periodic table. It was put together with many holes, but with the assumption that those elements would later be found and sure enough they were. I suppose scientists of the day could have openly accepted that model and decided there was no reason to prove silicon existed, but I think anyone would see that as silly. Its necessary to prove these things.
What is your use case?

You are asking for something like an iPod, but the screen is not important. When you look at an iPod touch, the main feature is the screen! I think you need to give a better description of what you are looking for. Is it a one-off project, or are you developing a product?

If you want something like an iPod with a touch screen, look at android devices.

Otherwise there are add-on boards for the raspberry pi that let you connect a battery.

Revisionist history.

Apple was still selling the MacBook back then so it was never just two models. And they were still selling the non Retina MBP for a while as well.
Simple answer. Yes.
Why, there are way too many well-documented instances of socially constructed and socially accepted bullshit in the history of mankind. Actually, it is much difficult task to find instances of accurate approximations to the truth.

There has been times when Hegelian "logic" has been accepted, published by Oxford University press, peer-reviewed, highly praised and successfully taught to
students. I have read parts of Encyclopedia of the Philosophical Sciences. I have read it after The Principles of Mathematics and things like Haskell Prelude.

I have read peer-reviewed commentaries to The Highest Yoga Tantra and such crap like commentaries to Hatha Yoga Pradipika by some Australian lady with some funny Hindu nickname.

I have read even beautiful sufi texts in which they freely mix and match anthropomorphic qualities to produce a beautiful carpet of linguistic patterns which describe nothing that exist. Peer-reviewed and highly praised, of course.

Socially constructed nonsense is not something rare and uncommon. To the contrary, most of publicly available information is bullshit, or at least highly inaccurate, full of meaningless generalizations, flawed logic and amounts to nothing but mere compilation of current memes.

So, I am more or less familiar with how such things could emerge. My question is - what is a single falsifiable experiment which proves that this is not socially constructed, highly sophisticated sectarian set of beliefs supported by complex (but meaningless) simulations (instead of mere a book of dogma).

I am interested in what others' view on this, especially around based on what criteria you can understand that a software engineer is a good one.
Every pawnbroker and payday lender would rather be a venture capitalist or a private banker. Every shady used car dealer would rather be selling Bentleys and Lamborghinis. Every trailer park owner would rather have a portfolio of Manhattan property.

There are market opportunities in doing business with the poor, but none of them are particularly attractive.

That depends very much on which jurisdiction you're in. You'd be crazy to assume, without taking proper legal advice, that retrospective assignment would not stand up as part of an explicit employment contract.

Like when I contribute to an already existing open source project on company's time/resource/IP-appropriation-regime

If you did that without your employer's permission, then probably both you personally and anyone redistributing the OSS project would be infringing the employer's copyright. If that upset your employer, you could expect to be fired and possibly sued, and anyone involved in redistributing the OSS project could expect a C&D from your former employer's lawyers pending removal of any infringing work you contributed.

Depending on the scale and sensitivity of whatever you contributed, a bad result could be that you are out of a job, bankrupt due to damages and legal costs, and known for being untrustworthy since any future employer who looks you up is going to find the lawsuit, while the OSS project is significantly inconvenienced and doesn't ultimately benefit from your contribution anyway.
Mallory Safety & Supply is a distributor, not a manufacturer. Poking around, they seem to be advertising the sale of relevant law enforcement equipment for some time: <http://www.uscommunities.org/suppliers/safeware-mallory/>. Although it should be noted the original RFP only covered effectively firefighting safety equipment (<http://www.safewaremallory.com/pdf/SM_Master_Agreement.pdf>).

It looks like US Communities is a system whereby a jurisdiction can contract with a supplier for various goods and services and let other jurisdictions get the same goods and services from the supplier for the same price.
Cisco buying an In-Q-Tel-funded company is about the most banal observation you can make. In-Q-Tel is one of the more prominent investors in network and information security companies (IIRC, that's their founding charter!) and Cisco is the bizdev endgame strategy for most VC-funded security product companies.

I doubt ThreatGrid is the only IQT company Cisco has bought. I am as certain they're not a CIA plant inside Cisco as I am of anything else in my perceived reality; I know several of their key people, one of whom has a framed Che poster. They're not the type. :)

You're going to drive yourself seriously crazy if you try to trace every IQT investment that's been acquired by any company and then game them out as "compromised by the CIA".

Is Jetsmarter a Ponzi Scheme? (Part 1)
How the hell can it take 7 hours to fill out the 1040EZ. The only people who can use that form are the ones with super-simple tax situations. Literally a W2 and maybe a 1099 from your bank. You fill in a couple dozen fields or so and punch some numbers into your calculator and you're done.

I can believe 7 hours for a 1040, because leafing through the 200 page instruction book is hugely time consuming and there is a lot of confusing stuff in there.

Is Jetsmarter a Ponzi Scheme? (Part 2)
Right, I'm not even just talking about code as data in a homoiconic sense but literally just, code is a bag of instructions (jumps, load, store, add, etc) regardless of if your language is homoiconic or not. Maybe the point that can be made is that exposure to a homoiconic language earlier helps bridge this gap faster?
Or, in general, lots of cheap crap products that sell well because poor people are extremely price-sensitive and unable to accumulate enough money to buy a better (and in the long run cheaper) product.
> We have a volunteer professional military with standards for recruitment that require above average individuals.

Those could easily be poor. Poor != dumb.

> There are still plenty of poor people in the Army, quite frankly I can't think of anything better for poor people.

How about a normal civilian life?

> Where else can you get housed and fed and your college paid for?

In countries with a functioning social contract this is not an issue.

> Only a small portion of the military is war fighters. Most are doing boring relatively safe jobs like filling gas tanks and counting bullets.

Right, but they're still part of the same machine and even if the %age that ends up on the front lines is not 100% that holds true historically. So that's not a counter argument, it's just a function of how the military is organized.

Note that 'volunteering' if it is your only option at a reasonably affluent life is not really volunteering.
Not only that, but if your neighbor has a 800k house to sell, guess what house your agent is hiding from their clients so it can get a better commission.

I also still have an iPad 2 which is going strong. Is slow but does everything I use it for (movies, magazines, browsing). Is hard to justify upgrading something that works fine. And I bought a Kindle Fire 8 HD on Black Friday for $60, so in a sense I have already upgraded.
+1 to getting a pro photographer. Your current pics, particularly for the $49k deluxe, are really off-putting.

If you have writeoffs you can't use the 1040EZ anyway.

Besides, it should be a fairly simple matter for the government to prefill the W2 and 1099/1098 sections and let you fill in the miscellaneous deductions yourself.

From the article

>“Amazon wants to be the first thing any consumer thinks of when they need to buy anything,” said Jim Hertel, a senior vice president at marketing technology company Inmar Inc. “Food is the largest retail category. They can’t do what they want to do without grocery and they’re definitely not going to give up.”

I'd also imagine Amazon thinks they can do much better than a 1.7% margin by leveraging all of the improvements to their approach outlined in the article.
Consider the farmer and the blacksmith. The farmer makes more corn than he can eat, and the blacksmith shoes the horses. The blacksmith trades shoeing the farmer's horse for corn to eat.

They are both better off. There is no buyer/seller.

Money is just a medium for making trading more efficient. A "buyer" and "seller" is an artificial construct, and framing things as the "seller" always gets the upper hand has no real basis.

I buy things and sell things all the time. It's pretty clear that the seller has no inherent advantage.

Hey Gregory, thanks for the article. Would it be possible to change your title to OpenAPI 3 and not Swagger 3.0? Swagger is the name of the tooling produced by Smartbear that supports OpenAPI and they just released new versions of their Swagger tooling, but it's not the same thing as OpenAPI 3.0. Yes I know it is confusing :-)
Where exactly in the Bay Area could these legally be placed? Do the founders live in the prototypes?
Well, they were consistent; its just that their definition of "men" is different from yours, and its been shifting with time.

And hence we have lawyers and judges interpreting the law. Because the whole foundation (the people, and their opinions) is unstable over time.
Well.. all of this reminds me temporary houses used by builders in Ukraine\Russia and other CIS countries (most probably other countries use this as well). For example, https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&sour... as you can see sometimes such "buildings" even have two or more floors. Not sure how they comfortable to live though.
I'm not sure I personally see much difference. In both cases, the hosting corporation is reproducing a pirated file. One does so physically and one does so on an electronic screen, but both processes are automated piracy.
"Considering we can decide to abolish the constitution in America (or in any country) any time, does that mean we don't have a constitutional republic in America?"

The former is not correct, so the latter is nonsense. The constitution has no provision for abolishing it, the same as it does not have a provision allowing secession.

There is actually even caselaw on this, and it's very clear that it is about a perpetual union.

"Technically we can never say that we have a system X which is not Mob rule because the mob can always abolish it."
That is 100% not what has happened here.
In the constitutional system, there is a process for amending the constitution. it is not mob rule, or anything close to it. it is possible for basically 100% of the people to be against or for a thing, and them be unable to make it happen directly.
(even if they call a constitutional convention, they send representatives, not a mob, etc)

In the other other case, the rules are 100% made up by whoever has the largest mob, directly.
That is mob rule.

Isn't this a good thing? People shouldn't have to think about this stuff, there's no reason unless you are doing something special. If you have a simple tax return then why bother making everybody go through the motions of filling in the paperwork to calculate the same thing the government already knows?

If you do have a more complicated situation then the prefilled form at least gives you a starting point.
That would work? Not a lawyer or American so
