We are developing pioneering technology to investigate pressure transients and flow instabilities in water supply networks. We are gathering large volumes of data daily and are looking for smart dedicated developers and data scientists to help us make the most of it!

Data Scientist - Southampton, UK or remote (within EU): We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate data scientist with strong expertise in at least one area of machine learning or statistical analysis. Proficient knowledge of Python (and its data science tools) or R is essential. Experience with time series analysis or spatiotemporal statistical models would be an advantage. You will assist us with extracting insights from our high frequency water pressure data and translating them into insights that can help water companies provide customers with a continuous, safe and adequate supply of water. You will also help us translate research outcomes into production code, by expanding and enhancing our analytics backend platform.

Elixir Developer - Southampton, UK or remote (within EU): We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate Elixir developer with skills in OTP and enterprise level application building/designing/architecting. You will assist with developing, enhancing and maintaining our Elixir platform, and the interfaces with our frontend application and our backend analytics platform written in Python.

If you are interested in helping us and yourself grow, tell us why and a little bit about yourself by emailing careers@inflowmatix.com!
I love the idea of random surprises.

I created a simple app that picks random items from a Chinese ecommerce site within a set budget. My long term goal was to use ML to learn what each user liked and send them random items on a schedule, selecting from multiple sites.

I never finished it because other things took precedence but the random selection part works.

Anyone interested in this as a service?

That's really interesting. I was thinking of doing a social experiment that's similar but the script would be crowd sourced and determined at the last possible moment.
Hell, at this point, why not an ICO? Would probably be the most reputable company to have one if they did…
Why? In all seriousness why? Neither Mazda nor Toyota, has an electric car, competetive batterytech, a charging network or practicly anything, that will give them an edge.
Good podcast about Prop 13 from Malcolm Gladwell:

"The base ideology requires people believe vicious things about 'the other' who happen to be merely different."

The "alt-right" are not the only ones who are guilty of this, unfortunately. This is a characteristic of the extremes of pretty much every political position or ideology.

Personally, the whole "if you're not with us you're against us" mentality of both of the mainstream political parties is what drove me to vote Libertarian last election. Johnson's campaign seemed a lot more focused on welcoming folks with differing political views (which is unsurprising, given the rather long range of libertarianism from libertarian socialism to anarcho-capitalism, and given the fact that the Libertarian Party is in no position to be alienating voters), which was very refreshing amid both Clinton and Trump basing their campaigns on how bad the other candidate is (and further on how bad the other candidate's supporters are).
> How does energy usage scale with the number of users in general?

You're confusing Bitcoin miners and Bitcoin nodes.

Bitcoin nodes verify transactions. You can run a Bitcoin node off your home PC. It doesn't use much energy.

Bitcoin miners are what use all the energy, and their energy use is driven by the size of the mining rewards not the number of users.

> The problem is, it could be years before there is a collapse, or it could be tomorrow. That's a lot of yield you might be losing out on. A near similar argument could be made in 2014. You probably could have doubled or tripled your money in that period.

All true. I think what makes sense then is not to get out of the market entirely, but depending on your risk tolerance, simply re-balance so that you own less stocks at a time like this, while holding more cash or alternative investments.

Most electrical and mechanical engineers aren't Professional Engineers either. A Professional Engineer's sign off is only needed on safety critical projects, so most don't bother with it because they don't work on safety critical projects.
Given that Tesla opened up all its patents to the public, it's safe to say that they are at least on a level playing field in terms of tech.
Nintendo wouldn't be Nintendo without doing a whole bunch of stuff that just doesn't seem to make sense.

Come to think of it, my 'relationship' with Nintendo is very similar to the one I have with Apple. I sometimes feel that they intentionally do stuff that is unfriendly to their user-base, but ultimately they can get away with it by doing a whole bunch of stuff right in a way that others don't.

(And come to think of that, this description applies to most of the closest friends I've had throughout my life. Odd, that.)
I got a 1700 because it uses 65W instead of 95W but still has eight cores.

There are some minor glitches with the system, but as far as performance on CPU-bound workloads is concerned, I am very, very happy with it. When I look at what comparable chip from Intel would have cost me, I am even happier.
The Economist had strings of articles on this, about how the models used to price vast sums in derivatives were fundamentally flawed, the risks to the financial system, lack of regulatory tools to address possible issues. Warren Buffet famously called CDS/CDOs weapons of financial mass destruction. But when people are making money and everything looks sunny side up, warnings like yours are rarely heeded.

Have been using Xfce since the the Gnome 3 initial introduction. I only want:

* the main apps menu

* the widget to lock screen, log out, shutdown.

* tabs along the top (or bottom) showing open windows

* the widget with the workspace switcher, clock, and network/printing/whatever status indicator

Last time I looked at Gnome 3, it tried to be like MS's "Cortana" thing where it wanted me to search for everything I wanted, or else have me find things by "most recently used". I want none of that. Xfce has it right. The desktop doesn't need to be reinvented.
There once was something called a Super GameBoy, which was a cartridge adapter for GameBoy games to play via your SNES. It came out in 1994.
You're right that every person and every community values status to some extent or another. But in most communities, there is a core (often economic) activity or set of values that confers status that is not directly related to the status itself.

Being a good maintainer or creating useful projects gives you status in the open source community. Rendering or arguing sound, legally difficult decisions confers status if you're a judge. These communities are fundamentally open: anyone who can do those things can join and raise their status in those communities.

On other hand, the conspicuously wealthy and hipsters tend towards the extreme end of the status-seeking, with a lot of emphasis on exclusivity. The source of the status is very closely aligned with the status itself.

The conspicuously rich country-club set make a little community for themselves just based on the fact that they can prove to each other how rich they are. And the defining trait of a hipster is being able to show how cool they are, which means that status itself is the key to entry in the community.

Please note that I'm not trying to beat up on you -- we need status-driven people in the world, else few would ever want to become a politician or a leader. But I do think that hipsters as a community take status drive much further than most other groups, sometimes to comical effect.
I had the same reaction immediately as I opened that page. Without even known the context, I could have guessed this was a Linux related site. It's as if the entire Linux ecosystem consistently wants to present the ugliest interfaces to their end users. I don't get it.

There's some criteria by which it just goes through without human code review. I don't know what the exact criteria are, but I imagine it's something like if your extension never connects to the internet and doesn't interact with webpages and so on, it's basically impossible for it to be malicious, so gets a pass. But otherwise, yeah, there is someone who actually reads the code. They probably use automated tools as well, but then in addition.

Indeed, market valuation as a multiple of GDP is hitherto unknown to me. However that's why I wrote partially: foreign assets are factored into the value investors attribute to the stock market as a whole. In retrospect I shouldn't have argued from the standpoint of percentage of GDP.
I use gitk a lot, available on all platforms. I also use GitX to edit my commits, on macOS. Some people look very satisfied by the git GUI built-in in VSCode.

120 parking spaces, rent for each at $100/month (which is still too cheap for the space they cover), sounds like a good deal.
>> After failing culture fit tests at companies

>> I don't like people that much though I do put up a front

Question: Do you not like people or do you not like the people you have to interact with on a regular basis? If you have to eat lunch with the people you work with, can you enjoy it or do you tolerate it/hate it?

I used to work in the consulting arm of a software company and got to interact with a lot of different teams. After the novelty of having a new challenge (new language, new algorithms, new project, etc) every few months wore off, I started to realize work was more enjoyable when I didn't mind spending time with the people I worked with. When I felt forced to work with people I didn't click with the work itself didn't matter - I felt either bored or frustrated. I asked about lunch because sometimes I'd rather have done anything else than try to force a conversation with some of the teams I used to work with.

"Enjoying" spending time with the people you work with is also not about after-hours or having a lively conversation. I used to work with a machine learning algorithm team that was filled with brilliant people, but they had zero interest in the typical office banter, small-talk, ping-pong, etc. Put them at a lunch table together and there conversations were not very animated. But after a while, an observer would realize these folks enjoyed spending time together, and there was a reason they had been together for 10+ years despite getting offers from big name companies who paid a lot more.

In my view it's easier to find a job with the a particular technology than it is to find a place where you can tolerate the people you work with for 40+ hours a week. I love to code and I'm introverted, but I struggled to fit in with the typical "developer" office environment and found myself happier in teams were I get to code but my role is more business facing.
Hmm, an electric Mazda 3 would be awesome. A majority of my trips are short (<30 min) and mostly city driving, so stop and go.

For me, I want to go electric, but I need a few things:
1. Affordable (as in not much more expensive than a comparable gas counterpart)
2. Decent Range (200 mi+, none of this 30-50 mile stuff.)
3. Normal appearance (I don't need the world to know I have an EV.)
4. Fast charging (To give the option of longer trips.)

I don't think anyone really has anything out there that meets these criteria yet. The Model 3 is close, but at $35k it is still a bit over what I would call reasonably priced, personally. With the $7,500 tax credit yeah...but I don't think many 3 buyers will be getting it unless it is extended.
If you're going the IEM route, try out some tips from Comply (http://www.complyfoam.com/), I find they get really good isolation.

As far as the actual headphones, I currently have UE 900s IEMs which are serving me well but I would probably compare other brands nowadays were I to buy again.

Just to be clear, sounds like you are referring to the company that was acquired (not Google, whose stock is liquid). Few startups have Early Exercise of stock options. For those that do, if one has the cash to do the exercise and the willingness to put the cash into that illiquid startup stock, it behooves them to do it as soon as they can, so that there is no difference between their Strike Price and the Fair Market Value, so the tax owed is $0 when they file their 83(b) election. If Early Exercise is not available, one could exercise the options as they vest, but that is entails both the risk of both owing taxes (since FMV would be higher than strike price by that time) in addition to putting cash into illiquid startup stock-- all for a potential benefit of slightly lower tax rate (33%+ vs 20%) when the hope of both appreciation and liquidity is realized. That's the risky/dumb thing I was referring to. Alternatively, they could simply hold the option, which costs them nothing, and just pay the normal taxes (33%+) when exercising and selling.
> why are people dumping so much more money into ICOs than into Kickstarter projects?

Because most of it is "free" money. It's not a coincidence that the great altcoin explosion happened after Bitcoin value had increased by several orders of magnitude, and the ICO explosion happened after Ether had.

Some people bought what they considered a lottery ticket for a few grand, found themselves with a jackpot, and decided to buy another lottery ticket with (parts of) the winnings. It doesn't feel like real money to them.

I don't know if we should feel better about it because of that, but at least it explains why so many of the altcoins and ICOs which are so clearly scams/ponzis can attract so much capital.
How does having more guns make it harder for "them" to take the guns away? We're at the point that every neighborhood could arm a decent-sized militia anyway.

Thanks so much. She is very driven and smart, and knowing her, she does have a good analytical mind, but since she was young, she was pushed more to humanistic areas and never really focused on IT/Math, etc. But I've seen her work when she was pushed in finance at a firm and with other accounting things and I think she has the smarts for it (if she didn't I wouldn't recommend her to try development).

Bootcamp wise, we live in a country without much access to those, and due to her family situation, she can't really move.

I will try Eloquent Javascript with her. I have Hartl's Rails tutorial but from what I remember, it was a bit complicated at the start if you didn't have any decent computing experience.

I have some projects that could use some clean up in the html area, maybe I'll write a few stories for that and will see how she does.

Again, thank you so much for the time and ideas!

Using student loans as a form of leverage to invest in the stock market isn't new, so yeah, not "literally nobody." Point taken I guess.

It's just such a shockingly bad idea. We went from the topic of the average kid's inability to gauge the future value of their degree to the topic of the average kid's ability to predict the stock market well enough that using leverage to invest makes sense.

Gold, nickel and aluminum aren't money, they're resources that get used to produce things in the economy. If you mine a bunch of gold in a new and efficient way you make PCBs and cable connectors cheaper to manufacture and improve life for everyone by a little bit. If you mine a bitcoin in a similarly innovative way we get nothing we didn't have before.

Consumer interest is more so in Tesla the brand than it is in electric cars.

This is a great start! I noticed that 90% deals with MARCOM strategy with a bit of SWOT thrown-in too.

As someone who is responsible for bringing products to market on a daily basis, there is a considerable amount of strat being omitted which will better prepare you.

Pricing. Determine where you want to position your product in the market. Identify the competitors that compete on price vs the one's that compete on quality. Determine where you want to position your products and which competitors to go after. This should help you determine which customers you want to market towards as well. It also helps you determine the effort you can apply to each channel. [Spend more time on the difficult customer to obtain]. Michael Jordan didn't become Michael Jordan by practicing his dunk. He purposely worked on the weakest part of his game to make him the greatest.

The Switch has a huge amount of potential, but it lacks the games still. None of the big releases so far use the platform to its fullest: they're really good video games, not necessarily good _Switch_ games. BOTW, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Odyssey all seem like they are just Wii U games with better internal quality, only sparsely interfacing with new Switch features.

Nintendo also shed beloved handheld features like Streetpass, didn't include obvious features like Bluetooth audio, and are really messing up their online services ... the internet Splatoon fanbase seems to roundly regard the Switch online experience a failure for the context of 2017

I feel like a broken record (to myself) because every time I see these concepts I immediately conclude they have no viable commercial future and are a waste of everything except enthusiasm. That's too negative, because that's how some of the old coal guys still see wind in general, but it's not completely crazy. History shows that something like this will get 5-10 years of development money, make a small scale working concept (maybe), and then go nowhere.

I guess I don't know what the answer is. Pursuing new ideas is worthwhile, but I don't expect this company to have real commercial success.
