>if the city declares housing emergency

Such declarations should not justify extraordinary action if you don't have a clear plan for how you are going to get away from the emergency. They are a tool of political trickery to avoid regular checks and balances of democratic policies.

For comparison, France declared a "national emergency" in November 2015, and has then extended it repeatedly, and now France lives in a perpetual "state of emergency".

If you need to keep extending the state of emergency, you should admit that the "emergency" is actually your normal state of affairs.

If you have a problem in housing, with a really substantial part of your housing stock empty, your rental market isn't working. Don't blame evil capitalists for it; blame the rules of the market you created with legislation. For instance, unreasonable tenant protections at the expense of the owner.

Most often this is, however, just a diversion. Empty housing is not the real problem; the problem is lack of building permits and zoning in areas of population growth, and generally meddling with the market.

Beware of "dead simple solutions"; silver bullets offered as solutions to complex problems are usually bogus.
If we kill a bunch of rich people, a lot more product will come on the market. I don't care about those people, so if we want a lot of homes to come on the market quickly, I have no problem with a genocide of the power elite.
Remember not every who is disabled looks it. For instance: Cystic Fibrosis. Many with CF just look thin, but may have less than 30% of expected lung capacity.

That said, I have a family member who is a 16 year old soccer star who has a handicap tag. Her grandfather, who is a disabled vet, bought her car, and apparently due to how the registration works she also got the same tag. (I have no idea if she abuses this however; she seems pretty honest)
Juvo Mobile | DevOps Engineer | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, https://juvo.com

I am the hiring manager for a DevOps Engineer at Juvo. I'm building out the team (currently a team of me) as our trajectory keeps going up and to the right. One of our big projects this year is getting our infrastructure running outside of AWS due to country privacy laws. In particular, I'm looking for three areas of expertise (you do not have to have experience in all three of these areas):

1) Configuring and administering Containers / Docker / Kubernetes.

2) Installing, configuring, and administering some of the following: Hadoop / Hive / HDFS, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Memcached, Redis, PostgreSQL.

3) Networking experience, including configuring and administering VPN connections with external partners using software like strongSwan.

We're in San Francisco in the Financial District, looking to hire locally with an eye on remote as we grow, so an exceptional remote candidate may be considered.

Apply online (https://juvo.com/job/devops-engineer/) or contact me via email (pete@juvo.com) for more information.
Wevolver | Senior skilled Full Stack Developer | REMOTE & ONSITE | Amsterdam | Full Time

• Javascript (Angular/React)

• Python (Django)

• Postgres

• Git

• AWS

I’m Bram Geenen, co-founder of Wevolver.
If you are skilled and keen on making a big positive impact then our team might be a great place for you!

Wevolver = ‘Github for Hardware’
Engineers globally use our platform to collaborate on open source or private hardware projects. Think brain-controlled robotic arms, electric urban transportation, and laser 3D printers.
By enabling anyone, anywhere to develop hardware we aim to generate more innovation and empower people to create and solve challenges.
Wevolver is mission-driven: we prioritize making a positive impact on people's lives and we are a transparent organization, heavily involved in open source.

Since our launch in 2014 we have build a great community of hardware developers, and the Wevolver platform (and to be more precise; the incredible work of our users) has been honored with awards such as the SXSW Innovation Award. Fast Company listed Wevolver in the 2016 Top Most Innovative Webplatforms, in between Facebook, Slack, and IBM Watson.

We are now developing a powerful version control system for hardware projects to take Wevolver to the next level. That’s where you come in.

ROLE:
Work closely with our founders, developer, and community manager on functionality that directly impacts Wevolver’s growth. You’ll have autonomy and will be strongly involved in all major decisions. Furthermore:

• architect and improve performance of our API and web-platform,
• develop new features in a collaborative and test-driven environment,
• maintain our databases and servers.
We are currently on Angular 1 and will either upgrade or move to React (a decision which you can influence)

Salary range: $40K – $120K · 2.0% – 7.0% (depending on location & experience)

Looking forward to hearing from you! On behalf of the Wevolver team;

It's not charging someone for being injured. It's the equivalent of getting a licence renewal. It's not free. Do you still consider that same driver to be getting charged for being disabled when they are renewing their license? Or for that matter, any (voluntary) fee that the government charges when a citizen chooses to do something?

The process to review an application for a disability placard I'm quite sure takes longer to complete than that of a simple license renewal. If there's a fee for one, why would there not be a fee for the other? Also, there is no requirement that they apply for the placard and could always not apply for it if the $25 really made that much of a difference to them - a cost, I remind you, which would cover 2-4 years so we're talking about 50 cents to a dollar a month. And which would also help to make spots more available to them by stopping the scumbags who are using their dead grandmother's tag to park in the best spots every time they go out.
Again, you are pointing out that the real problem is with restrictive rental regulations. If you can't easily require a renter to leave at the end of their lease, you would never rent your home, even if you didn't plan to live in it for a few years.

But again, you get the appreciation whether you rent or not. It's in an investors best interest to rent, as long as they don't have to give up control of the property doing so.
Depression formed on the surface of the earth?
I've had thoughts like this, using sci-py to teach kids how to hack math. Our education system is kind of sad face.
And some can even walk normally. I used to know someone like that--serious heart defect but her body was otherwise normal. She wasn't supposed to walk any farther than she had to.

And it's also possible to legitimately park in a handicapped space with no handicapped person in the car. I've done it before--I was picking up the person to whom the placard belonged.
Why does Apple need all that cash in the bank? Why not spending it in R&D or giving it to the shareholders?
> treating your own labor as free and ignoring opportunity cost.

this goes for any services business. people consistently undervalue/underprice their own labor, especially when it comes to managerial work.
If you want to go full speed optimization:

Go with about 4-8 times as much RAM, and Ramdisk your commonly used programs like PS/LR, and make sure you have a large swap space on a dedicated NVMe SSD. Also consider getting higher performing RAM. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/x3yxFT/corsair-memory-cmk32... is a relatively cheap high-performance RAM module. More ram per stick will get more expensive and have higher CAS latency.

Get at least a 7700k and OC to at least 4.8Ghz, though most will go higher. Consider buying from a known-bin site, such as https://siliconlottery.com/collections/all/products/7700k52g which has a chip known to perform stably at 5.2GHz.

Consider getting a high-end quadro instead of a consumer-level card- the P4000 is a good entry-level, while a P6000 is an absolute monster, though probably overpriced. NVidia claims better performance in Photoshop and Lightroom using those instead. http://www.nvidia.com/object/adobe.html

Consider a high-end Z270 ASRock motherboard. They are almost always the best choice for making everything else work together optimally.

You can always get better performance with more hardware and better configuration if you need to - is it worth it to you over buying a Mac though, and will the performance of that Mac actually be better?
Seems like there is symmetry in everything: Apple enjoys doing badass engineering, that ends up totally not meeting the usability expectations of the customer. The gloating is only just baredly overshadowed by the sheer hubris.

I think the economy is one of these things that no one can understand. There are just too many players.

We live in a world where it's possible for a Harvard dropout to start a company with $0 and turn it into a $400 billion dollar company in just a few years.

It's not so far from the idea that under the right conditions, the fluttering of a butterfly's wings can cause a Hurricane on the other side of the world. I don't think anyone can make accurate predictions about the economy, there are too many things to keep track of.

Any perceived trend is rooted in false consensus.
This is the correct link to the report: http://daccess-ods.un.org/access.nsf/Get?Open&DS=A/HRC/34/51...

The UN has a bizarre and archaic document management system that it is difficult to link to (and to search, for that matter).
Good analysis of the code, and nice correction. Agreed that you should always check your sends' return values, too! In this example you have to send more than the last guy, so I think a recursive call would still put in more ether than would be withdrawn. Still undesired though.

If it were fleshed out more it should probably return the ether to the last depositor instead of the purchaser.

Thanks for the feedback!; I'm tempted to turn this into an example Dapp later today.
Yup, sounds about right.

In my wife's correspondences with Yelp (via voice and e-mail) on behalf of her clients, they kept focusing on that word 'algorithm'....like it's some magical, mystical thing that nobody really understands or controls. That was the key word that was used in all of the bullshit deflections.

Thing is, Yelp is absolutely dominant in this space, so we're all kind of stuck with it.

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Recursion is a startup with about 60 people, generating rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. We have literally millions of images from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. We’ve gotten more than $2M in multiple grants from the NIH, and last fall closed a $15M series A led by Lux Capital. We’re using imaging experiments to turn human cell experiments into massive amounts of rich biological data so we can find treatments using ML and data science for many diseases as fast as possible. Yoshua Bengio (one of the fathers of deep learning) just became an advisor for our ML work.

Hiring:

* Software engineering: Full-stack Software Engineer - Front-end Software Engineer - Machine Learning Engineer

* Data science: Data Analyst - Data Scientist - Applied Mathematician - ML Researcher - Computational Biologist

http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers for more details and to apply.

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Competitive pay, health insurance, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor/extend visas, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US--we can’t handle the lottery at this stage.

Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software engineering: go, python, angular.js, react, javascript on aws and gce. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).

Abine - The Online Privacy Co | Full stack dev's | Boston, MA & REMOTE | PART-TIME, https://www.abine.com

Interested in working on solutions that delivery better online privacy using a "full-stack" approach that incorporates tracker blocking and anti-fingerprinting, identity/password management and e-commerce payments?

We've had good success hiring a few dev's full-time from HN - thanks HN! Now, unlike many posters, we'd like to bring on a few part-time dev's who are willing to commit 15-30 hours weekly for at least 6-12 months, probably leading to full time.

While Boston is preferred, we are open to anyone from anywhere who has both relevant skills and genuine interested in the problem. Compensation will be a mix of cash and equity and full-time employment eventually would be not only possible but ideal.

Technically we are Javascript-heavy regex-parsing heavy extension-based + ios and Android Apps, Ruby server-side with increasing attention to machine-learning and recursive feedback loops.

That's really cool.

Would you build something like this from scratch or base it on another tech stack like the jvm?
Emailing documents around seems like a recipe for errors, conflicts, and confusion around which version is the correct one. Does that really work well?

The HN is wrong, he didn't sold the images, the images were available for free.

I think it was a creepy stupid illegal [1] idea, but I think he was not motivated by money.

[1] He scraped the images from the site, that is probably illegal. And then he distributed them with a CC0 license that is also illegal if you don't have the copyright of the images.

SEEKING WORK - remote, short to medium term projects - zak.wilson@gmail.com

I make software - mostly full-stack web development and HTTP APIs, but I'm adaptable. I have some interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I have a little experience making Android apps, and my open-source Android app Ceilingbounce has happy users.

I can do stuff that's harder than basic CRUD apps. Stuff I know well: Clojure, Ruby (with or without Rails), Python, Django, Javascript, Lua, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SASS, responsive CSS.

Other stuff I've used for something non-trivial at least once: Common Lisp, Scheme, Java, SASS, C, PHP, Haskell, Bash, Perl, MongoDB, Mirah, Android development with Clojure. Yes, I can probably pick up that language or tool you're using that nobody has ever heard of.

SEEKING WORK - Remote / Kansas City

I'm a bit of a polyglot developer. Currently wrapping up a consulting project in Node.js/React and would like to line up my next thing!

If web apps aren't your thing, I've created full 3d games for Anheuser-Busch and the U.S. Army. I've also shipped a machine-learning NLP classification engine for a startup. I've made mobile apps and countless other things. I'd say that my specialty is rapid prototyping, no matter the tech.

I'm as good at 3d modeling as I am at programming, so if you need a mesh of a widget so you can 3d print it, I can help there too!

You can reach me at joshleap@gmail.com / text 816-914-9646.

Thanks for reading about me!
Design is like what does my program look like when I use X vs. what does it look like when I use Y? What are the implications of those two choices? I see objects and functions are pure design abstractions: you can easily emulate one or the other in a language that doesn't provide them as first class constructs, and even when they are provided as first class constructs, you can always use them in ways that are poor for the designs they support.

That "objects communicate via messages" leads to absurdities like numbers being considered as objects. It is completely blind to their benefits and drawbacks as anthropomorphic entities.
