You'd also be surprised how often the patient is trying to mislead. Immigration status, serious mental health issues and being wanted by the police are the three that have hit me (that I known of). It's particularly hard when there is intent to deceive.
Any Entry level openings? Thanks
You must rate teachers. Using explicit external criteria, which as the article indicates, is inherently manipulative and biased, and thus counterproductive. Or you can use implicit internal criteria -- feedback from the participants who were hired to embody the objective function, to walk the walk. Given the tradeoffs, what better way is there to judge than anonymous peer review?
The bolt. Billions of dollars into self driving technology.

Oh wait sorry this is HN. Ya, those idiots at ford will die to the great Elon. hahahahaha any company older than 25 years is worthless old school idiocy and will die within 5 years of a startup coming in.
I judge presidents by their intent. The reason we all hate politics and politicians is because they have an impossible job, of choosing between nothing but bad choices. GWB made a lot of mistakes. But I believe he always had good intentions and wanted to help society.

Trump seems to be the modern day Andrew Jackson, and seems to have only personal gain as a motivator in his life.
But isn't that how all gift cards work? If I buy someone a gift card to Target, Target has that money at the time I buy the gift card not when whoever I give the card to spends it.

Is this really any different then buying an Amazon gift card other then you can choose the amount to put on it?
Well if we're going to be making generic claims I'll just add my own anecdotal observation: I notice Teslas all the time in Portland now. They are easy to spot and it brings a smile to my face. On the other hand Fords tend to blend into the background, save for occasional jacked-up F-150 or maybe a spiffy Mustang.
I noticed this earlier today as I intentionally smashed a small piece of glass (for a project) - the smashing and scattering of pieces happened in less than one second, but my subconscious managed to accurately track both the number (~5) and direction of the significant pieces that went flying. That was quite surprising to me.
well, in a 300 million inhabitants country, maybe it's time to think about serious unique identifiers.

Countries way smaller than that did it.
NDAs are practically universal in the software consulting market. It would be borderline unprofessional† to refuse to sign one on principle. Two things you can do if you're really worried about this: (1) offer your own MNDA instead of their paper, or (2) pay $300 or so to get a lawyer to review their NDA.

If you go with option (2), you can buy yourself a little time to try to qualify the client prospect by saying you'll sign an NDA, but you'll have to have it reviewed at some expense before signing, so you'd like to make sure there's an actual deal there before signing.

† This is probably not exactly the word I want to use here.
> 's valuation is also based on the idea that clean energy will replace fossil fuels.

Last month Tesla sold 10,000 electric vehicles to Fords 2,500.

If we are serious about climate change, then sometime in the 2030s [1] we have to stop building new combustion engines.

The entire technology platform on which these 6,7 million Ford sales rest is about to be swapped out in little over a decade.

It's common to find that the buffers in front of the bottleneck last-mile link are sized for the highest tier of service regardless of what speed you're actually subscribed for. DSLReports has the only browser-based speed test that measures bufferbloat, and they have extensive data from that testing: https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/results/bufferbloat?up=...

Your modem and the box on the other end of that bottleneck link are probably buffering far more than is reasonable. There's simply no reason for a cable modem to ever have in excess of 1s worth of backlog.
Nice game of words.

Google was pretty much aware that GPL with Classpath exception was only for Java SE, not targeted at embedded deployments, but paying the license required for embedded deployments was too expensive apparently.

According to Gosling, Sun would have sued Google if they still had any money left on the bank, instead Jonathan decided to make the public support announcement, angering quite a few folks internally.

His blog posts are no longer live, but old references are quite easy to find.
Which is mostly a problem that Google themselves architected into Android. By not building a sensible HAL in to android like requiring ACPI in the hardware for the first android phones (especially the moto droid which they worked on closely with Motorola), they condemned us all to vendors-specific kernels and bootloaders.

Google's inept 'management' of the android ecosystem has left us with openness for hardware vendors like Samsung but not end users. Their design of android deprives end users of regular security updates that iOS users enjoy but also deprives them of the right-to-modify that licenses like the GPL were intended to guarantee.

I don't know what everyone at Google intended, beyond 'let's beat Apple', but the way android turned out looks awfully evil to me.
So, a regular store.

You just have to go to the right store instead of a 'pickup' store.

Or use this but ship to a PO box.
While I appreciate that people are sour about student debt, I don't think Navient, qua big business, should behave in any other way.

I personally think public universities should be free and highly selective, rather than the opposite. But I also think taking out loans with no plan to repay them is criminally stupid. If the education product being sold is fraudulent, go after the fraudulent institution (as has been done). But the bank? They're just a bank. And no, I don't think it's good that we have banks financing student debt, but I sure as hell don't blame banks for doing it.

This is a fabulous example of why privatizing what should be a public service is a terrible idea, yes, and this is the ridiculous game we get to play as a result... blaming the bank for playing hardball over money. Really?

Yes, thanks for sharing this with us.
Thinking about product category sales is the wrong way to do it, because Tesla is trying to restructure existing product categories. Not car purchasing, but mobility services. Not solar panels but sustainable electricity generation and storage.

U.S. residential electricity use is 1.4 trillion kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. [1] At $0.10 each that $140 billion dollars.

Americans travelled about 3 trillion car miles in cars per year. [2] At $0.50 per mile (what the IRS lets you claim for mobility) that's $1.5 trillion dollars.

That's just the U.S. These markets are enormous. There are all kinds of ways for them to carve out $7 billion a year in net income to justify their market cap.

Binti | Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, SALARY:100k-140kUSD, https://binti.com/binti-careers/software-engineer/

Binti makes software for foster care and adoption agency staff to improve their daily workflow so they can make better-informed decisions and spend more of their time actually helping people. Our mission is to find a safe, loving, and stable family for every child.

Our software is used by private adoption agencies in 30 states. We're in the midst of expanding into serving government foster care agencies and are close to reaching two-thirds of the foster care families in the state of California.

We have sustainable revenue, dedicated customers, and ample seed funding from top investors like First Round, Kapor, and Lowercase. We work together in SF and are growing rapidly.

Binti's main SaaS web product is a conventional monolithic Rails/Postgres app that works well for our use case, but remains fun to hack on. We're building the monolith up higher, and looking forward to soon chipping off a service or two. Some of the areas in which we are especially seeking to round out our engineering team include devops, security, and compliance (we're seeking a full-stack engineer interested in contributing in these areas early on - whether or not you are already an expert). We're using Kubernetes/Google Cloud.

If you're looking to join a small startup that has a large impact, apply online or email us at jobs@binti.com

Just to play devil's advocate: Windows became the dominant platform when it had terrible security. Android became the dominant platform when it had terrible security. Maybe people don't care that much about security vs other features. At it's low point, Windows security was a lot worse than Android security. At one point, a fresh Windows XP machine plugged into the Internet would be compromised within a couple of minutes max.
Disagree -- agriculturists & hunter-gatherers are way more familiar with death than moderns because they slaughtered their own livestock. We don't even experience human birth & death at home; it's packaged for us by hospitals and funeral parlors.

The basic anatomical knowledge in a society where everyone has killed a goat is arguably higher than industrialized 2017 where we get our steaks pre-cut.

I'd be interested in an argument that says wealthy, artistic, anatomically modern humans in the stone or bronze age aren't aware of the symbolic content of their death rituals. But I haven't heard one yet.

>> "The entire lock is made out of hardened stainless steel the same as the key. Unlike most locks which have a single hardened anti drill pin in a brass plug. That being said its not made of diamond and can be drilled like any other lock with the right bit and enough time. The purpose of a high security lock is to block manipulation attacks forcing a destructive attack. Its very hard to stop a destructive attack because then your whole house becomes the weak point. The door, the windows, etc."

1) this isn't money you earn from Amazon...so they're not creating a closed amusement park style ecosystem where you HAVE to spend the money you make with them

2) you don't have to convert ALL of your cash into Amazon credit. You can allocate a portion that is useful to find cheaper/better selection of products on Amazon. They rest you can spend wherever/whenever you want
>I'm getting real damn sick and tired of "what the big print gives, the spidery print takes away"

I propose "the bigger the print, the stronger the statement". Therefore, if you make one claim in 24 point and then attempt to rescind or modify it in 8 point, the 24 is legally binding because it was larger and so nullified the smaller. This also means that if you want to place limitations (like 'one per customer' etc) on an offer you make in print, those will have to be printed in an equal font in order to be valid.
'Get Ready Bitcoiners': Kim Dotcom Teases Megaupload 2 and Bitcache (VIDEO)
Omission of facts is not reporting the facts. That's the point.
Tech wanted cheap labor and Trump was for fairness which is one reason why tech leadership was against Trump. President Obama could have fixed this years ago, but after all he was big buddies with tech.

Check out the photo in this picture of Obama and Zuckerberg who even has an entire organization to drive tech labor costs and hire non-Americans, Fwd.us
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/19/reveng...

Many tech leaders, themselves worth many, many billions of dollars want to deprive Americans that worked hard to go to college and get degrees in engineering and software from getting their appropriate wages.

Hilary Clinton also didn't seem too interested in regulating H1-B because the Democratic elites (as well as many Republican elites) are in Tech leadership's pockets.

I welcome others to research this if they feel this isn't true and post appropriate links.
I'd just like to point out that Microsoft win either way:
Says Forbes: Financially Microsoft is one of the biggest winners from the growth of Android as a platform, thanks to its wide range of patents. Samsung's royalty payment to Microsoft in 2013 was for over one billion dollars ($1,041,642,161 and fifty cents), roughly $3.41 per device.
I guess you could use a connection pooler like pgpool-2?
One should have a strong bias against signing an NDA, or indeed anything at all, as a condition of hearing about a possible gig. Most clients, especially individual clients, should be able to describe what they need in a non-confidential way prior to agreeing on terms. Once you know what's expected, and what's in it for you, then it is normal to sign a work-for-hire agreement that contains NDA terms. If you're a free software person, you might find that objectionable as well but that's more of a personal ethical choice, and if you've made that choice you would likely not be entertaining this current gig in the first place.
> (See Portland, Seattle, Denver for examples)

Intel relocated a lot of their engineering to Portland (well, Hillsboro) a few decades ago. The strategy seems to have worked for the most part. Housing only got really expensive here in the last 5-6 years with the latest tech bubble out of SFBA.
I've written one ever here in NZ and it bounced - the bank cancelled the account due to me not using it ever and didn't tell me. It was for a house too, so that was fun.

Could this be used for record deduplication? Say you have products from various data sources. A product has various features/facts that almost always don't line up 100%. Could this library be used to match over such records? One of the more specific constraints is that no 2 records from dataset A can match on 1 record from dataset B and viceversa
Hmm what's more important is that mobile has overtaken the desktop. If you add Android and iOS you get 51.09%.

If your site doesn't work well on mobiles, it's high time you fixed it.

>> That's like an EE saying, I don't really understand capacitors, but I am building a circuit like this one and it has a capacitor, so I'll just borrow the values and tweak them in simulation.

Dude, in EE interviews, we just ask them some basic about capacitor and how to use it. We don't ask them to derive the mathematical equations of electrolytic capacitors.

In fact, in most EE interviews, you just use them to solve ONE problem and be done. Nobody questions you know EE stuff once you've solved ONE problem.

In programming interviews, you have to solve MANY problems and interviewers just want to keep finding ways of docking points.
That depends. What does the NDA say and what are the clauses?

NDAs are typical when sharing perceived sensitive information. If the clauses are wholly about protecting that information transference and not otherwise binding you, then consider it. If the NDA clauses would restrict any further business by you in the market or domain, then run.

IANAL - if you have access to one and can afford one - do that

I was describing how 99% of British people would write the date, particularly in handwriting. It's how I was taught to write it on schoolwork.

Official forms in Britain (and most of Europe) use the leading zeros, DD/MM/YYYY, though the separator can be / - . or a mixture.
