Credit Kudos | London, UK (Dalston) | https://creditkudos.com | Full-Time | Onsite

Credit Kudos uses consumer transaction data to build highly accurate and transparent credit score-cards and affordability metrics. Our platform makes decision-making possible for the ~8m previously “unbanked” as well as those with nonexistent or “thin” credit files.

We believe that it’s possible to establish high accuracy predictors of credit worthiness that don’t punish borrowers at the low end of the income spectrum. To achieve this we are leveraging our experience in building high throughput data analytics products to develop a new type of scoring product that provides a fair and true representation.

I'm not sure you can really call the views espoused by any of Heinlein's viewpoint characters Heinlein's own views; there are a few common themes, but there are so many conflicts between them (or even within the same character) that, except where they directly line up with his nonfiction advocacy, it's probably better to take the view that Heinlein's work is often exploring alternate political approaches rather than acting as polemic for them.

It's also perhaps worth noting, in the context of ST, that the "service is optional, but required for citizenship" model was presented prior to the all-volunteer military at a time when each of the last several generations had been subject to at least one large-scale draft, and the US (and most of the rest of the world) had a system where service was tied to citizenship but (well, for men at least) mandatory on demand, universal in practice, and quite often deadly.
Money is a good motivator but it is not the only one.

If you intend to switch to money later, you should probably at least validate the idea before having a great time building something only to find out no one wants it.

Quote: "“On the other hand, one of the things you’ll see with digital currency is how wildly the value swings. The question is will there ever be a digital currency that is stable enough to become as widely used as a government one."

Right. THe Euro on the other hand is very stable. Just loses 30% of its value in a year. Seems much better then something that appreciates 30% in 1 year. Where does that fine line of definited "Stability" actually start and end?

Maybe. 2008 to 2012 were actually the best years for me, both for life and jobs. I even managed to get a contract straight back from my travels in 2010 at a rate that I haven't beaten since. The economy didn't totally shut down. My issue was getting a mortgage but if I hadn't had a gap I could have got one even then as I had a good deposit.

It's the aftermath of QE and years of zero rates that I wasn't prepared for so it turned out to be a very expensive break.

No, you're right. I suspect the plane squeaky was really thinking of was the F-111. The F-35's development process was reminiscent of the F-111, with features incorporated to create something for everyone, along with the concomitant weight and cost increases.

Exactly, what will the kid with no phone do to get around suburbia when there is no basic bus service? What about the senior population?

Essentially, what the city has chosen is a solution for middle to upper class people, while ignoring those less fortunate. Essentially, your going to be paying $10 round trip minimum, whereas a bus would have ran anywhere from $5 to $6 at point of use, and it is not accessible to the poor/lower middle class.

Programs like Safe Place also are hosed with these Uber based solutions. What is the kid who just got beat up by <insert attacker> supposed to do? Their phone (if they had one) is probably busted, and its a couple mile walk to anywhere safe. The city didn't bother to put any call buttons out to hail a ride in these areas either... These aren't rare scenarios, and it is totally possible to do something besides busses and still serve the poor & disenfranchised well.

> There was no actual need to shut down the other plants, etc

That's your personal opinion. I think it's naive, because you had actually no idea in what state the other reactors were.

The OFFICIAL REGULATION AUTHORITIES for nuclear safety in Japan had a different opinion. Some plants had damages, were shutdown because of the earthquake, every plant needed inspections and every plant needed full safety reviews. That it takes so long to bring some of the reactors back shows that there are lots of doubts about their safety and the industry will need to do more than just say 'there was no need to shut them down' - nobody believes that.

Here you can find a good overview what the authorities are doing and when reactors might be restarted - if at all:

http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-pro...

Japan sits on a seismic very active region and severe earthquakes and tsunamis happen. It's only logical after such damage to question the whole safety architecture. Are the spend fuel pools in similar unfortunate positions? Are they full, too? What happens at complete loss of outside electricity? Are the reactors able to safely shutdown then, unlike Fukushima? Can the spent fuel pools be cooled? Are there instruments in the reactor able to survive massive damage in an earth quake? There are many many questions which have not been asked for a decade, because the consequences would have been costly upgrades and even the shutdown of reactors - for example those sitting near fault lines.

Given that the nuclear industry in Japan is corrupt and runs very old reactors with severe design mistakes, I think it is only justified to shut down the industry for a full review. That would also include the whole network of politicians, research, industry, utilities, ...

> “No matter what happens in the world of fintech, you still need a trusted broker of money,” he said. “The roles may change and adapt, but someone needs to be the source of funds and credit.”

(emphasis mine)

This is the previous two generations' ideology concerning money. Stability requires growth; growth requires debt; debt requires credit; credit requires a creditor. Now, the millennial generation is growing up in a global recession with no end in sight. I do not think they will have the same kind of blind faith in easy money when they ascend to power.

If you decide to make it impossible to "fire" customers, what does that translate in terms of who has what obligations?

Is that really desirable, once you think about it that way?

And do you really think this is some sort of "Late Capitalism nightmare"? You really think nobody had ever decided not to do business with a specific customer before?

This isn't a "late capitalism" issue; this is a "social media greatly amplifies previously quiet signals, and does so with a certain amount of randomness". But the reality probably hasn't changed... just your ability to detect it.

This is a very disingenuous argument. This type of intellectual dishonesty is infuriating and tempts one to entertain the partisan narrative that suggests republicans are absolutely beholden to corporate interests above all else.

The structure they have now actually does make some sense. Now we have public ownership of infrastructure, but private operation. The infrastructure, a rail network, is inherently a monopolistic affair, and competition is actually inefficient.

The private operators compete for the contract to run a franchise for a couple of years. The "choice" is not for the passenger, the choice is for the government to decide which private company to give the franchise, to give access to the infrastructure, and to provide subsidies. The competition basically happens at the bidding level.
True. Actually, this execution efficiency is usually way more important benefit of column stores than just saving disk space.

Sadly, PostgreSQL does not support that now, but hopefully it's not that far in the future. It's becoming a fairly regular topic in discussions both with customers and devs on conferences.

Alar Software | Chicago, IL | Full-time, ONSITE | Positions: Scala Back-End Engineer

Please email resumes to hiring@alar.net

We are looking for experienced Scala back-end-focused engineers to help design and build out our SaaS product for trucking companies. We’re taking logistics data from various real-time sources to enable our customers to increase efficiency and provide lead generation by connecting them with other trucking companies. We’re onto something big but to get there we’re working through complex problems in a complex and often old-fashioned problem domain. We’re taking an unconventional approach (event sourcing with a twist and a touch of farmville) and dealing with big data to boot.

BACK-END POSITION

This isn’t a run-of-the-mill MVC app and requires solving performance and scalability problems in distributed systems using data combined from many sources, several of which are real-time sources including GPS data. Because of this complexity, we're limiting our search to two kinds of people: experienced engineers who can bring structure to the chaos as we grow or those who can make up for lack of experience with passion and creativity. Please don't apply unless you can demonstrate one, if not both, of these.

Back-end stack: Our product is built on Scala, Postgresql, Event Sourcing using Apache Beam atop Google Data Flow, Akka, and the Scala Play framework. Our front-end is predominantly AngularJS.

Goedel's Completeness Theorem is for semantic completeness, and still applies to first-order logic. It says, "every theorem which is semantically true for its theory (true in all models of that theory) is syntactically provable." Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem applies to syntactic completeness. Syntactic completeness would mean, "Every syntactically-valid formula is either provable or refutable." Instead, what Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem tells us is: "Some syntactically-valid formulas are neither provable nor refutable, because they're true in some models (standard models) but not in others (nonstandard models)."

Again, this applies to any given formal system. Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem is parametric over formal systems, with first-order Peano Arithmetic being one of the weakest, most standardized systems in which it applies. The real condition for the Theorem is, "Any formal system sufficient to describe Turing machines."

>Say system with new 'quantum hack' operator.

That operator is called a Turing Oracle, and it's physically impossible. Possessing a Turing Oracle is equivalent to reversing the Second Law of Thermodynamics and refuting Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. It's physically wrong.
This is what I believe to be the formula:
1. Find a group of people who are interested in a subject.
2. Find out what, related to that subject, they want to buy.
3. Sell them that thing.

This is the approach I took with my book/videos at AngularOnRails.com, a "side project that makes money".

Another important thing is to surround yourself with people who have successfully done the thing you're trying to do.

I don't have much time right now but if you (or anybody) wants to talk about building side projects that make money, feel free to email me at jason@angularonrails.com. I'm not an expert but I know a hell of a lot more than I did 9 years ago when I started.

Misleading. The FTC used to have jurisdiction over broadband privacy. Now it doesn't since the FCC passed the Title 2 net neutrality regulations. The FCC was supposed to regulate them. So it passed its own privacy rules. And now Republicans overturned them, essentially leaving customers with very little broadband privacy left, or even a way to enforce that privacy.

Another way in which this is misleading is because he's saying "but these rules didn't even go into effect! So you're not losing anything." It ties to what I said above, but also to the fact that until now ISPs essentially didn't want to "push their luck" by trying to track all of their customers and sell their data. Now that Congress opposed the laws that would've made it very explicit that they have to ask for permission, that means that they essentially have permission to track everyone as they like.

Really it sounds like a good situation for a federated service/protocol.

Let IoT developers develop against the protocol and then consumers can pick a provider to run their IoT hub.

i.e. I go to my garage app and plugin iot://firstname_lastname@iot_hub_provider.com and then that does the heavy lifting of cloud connecting the device and allowing the app to communicate with it.

Changing your ISP is harder than changing insurance, that is to say it's often impossible.

Gotta respectfully disagree with you here. I sincerely regret watching the LoTR movies, as reading the books now is impossible without imagining the specific actors in the movie (Wood's whiny interpretation of Frodo is especially bad). Before I watched the movies, I had my own image of these characters and they were so much more nebulous, vivid, alive, mysterious, majestic, etc.. I mean, surfing on an oliphant? Geez. Also the way they butchered the relationship between Frodo and Sam I thought was atrocious. Not saying there were no good things about it, but again, would have elected to not see it if I had the choice again.
Again you single out Lithuania, completely ignoring that most European countries have a homicide rate that is 2–4x lower than that in the US. Let's just check a few: France 1.2, Germany 0.9, UK 0.9, Italy 0.8, Spain 0.7, Poland 0.7, Austria 0.5, Switzerland 0.5, Netherlands 0.7, Belgium 1.8, United States 3.9.

How do you look at this data and conclude "yup, the EU is just as bad as the US"? Instead you focus on the Baltic states and the Balkans, which is not what people commonly have in mind when you refer to Europe.

And no, we're still not talking about suicides. They are completely orthogonal to homicides. Stop injecting them into the discussion.

The community went from being extremely open and excited about the site at the beginning to now begrudgingly having to use it since it has no competitor.
