Front-End Engineer - Full time or contract

We are looking for a talented front-end engineer with experience in Javascript, HTML, and CSS3 (JQuery and/or React a plus). Initial engagement would be for two months, but you can consider this as a direct audition for a full-time position as a Lead Front-End Engineer.

You will report directly to the CTO, who is an experienced engineer focused on technical architecture, product management, and back-end development. You will turn our strong product vision first into living, breathing prototypes and finished products.. You recognize that you are joining a young startup, and sometimes that means being flexible with development priorities, and ready to compromise on perfection if necessary.

As our first full-time Front-End Engineer, we expect you to bring a passion for understanding our customer and delivering a superior experience for them. This is an ideal role for you if you are an experienced engineer who is eager to test yourself against the hardest front-end problem in the world (making people care about financial planning). We are heavily focused on consumer engagement and view our front-end experience as the most critical differentiation for the business. We are building a top-tier engineering team that will help us revolutionize the financial advice industry--you can expect to work alongside a team that is as talented and hard-working as you are.

About Harbor

Harbor is improving America's retirement security. We are building software to make high-quality financial planning accessible and affordable to the 65% of Americans who are not receiving any today.

We provide our users with a beautiful, online experience to design a financial plan that would cost thousands of dollars from a professional advisor. To enable that, we are developing a financial planning platform that is automated (where possible), intuitive, and educational to use. We are maniacally focused on making it easier for the average American to actually think about their finances, and are building a best-in-industry user experience to achieve that.

We are an early-stage start-up with a powerful mission and a small but high-calibre founding team: 3 co-founders educated at Harvard and MIT, extensive professional experience in financial services, management consulting, and engineering, and are one of 10 teams in the Techstars Chicago accelerator program.

Note: following the program's completion in October, we will relocate to Boston, New York, or San Francisco, depending on what's best for the business.

If interested, please contact colin@harborpension.com with your resume and a little about yourself.
Not the parent commentor, but this is certainly true to some degree. To what extent is very hard to say, but China has built several large hydroelectric projects in remote areas where electricity is very inexpensive. Many miners have taken advantage of this.

http://technode.com/2017/02/27/bitcoin-mining-sichuan-cheap-...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/in-chinas-...

Of course, there is also cheap coal power in China, so the environmental impact may be very significant.

Going forward, I anticipate the rise of solar mining in some favorable areas. Possibly geothermal as well. Since Bitcoin mining can be done anywhere with decent internet access, it seems natural that it should gravitate toward renewables over time. Fossil fuels continue to get more expensive, while renewables get cheaper. Of course, building e.g. solar panels isn't without environmental impact, either.
Because of how VAT works (which in turn is different for companies and nonprofits).
It's not so sudden, it's been a continuous debate for years. It's likely that there will be future splits as well. The split is only successful if enough people start using it. It involves a lot of trust, but no more than one has had to have from the beginning of bitcoin.

What should give us pause about that?
If it didn't have to make any money and was guaranteed to have visitors, I'd make Reddit with autogenerated subreddits.

At the start there's one community everyone is a part of. Every week, the community is split into children based on voting patterns, grouping people who are more similar. Communities can vote on a name, and anyone can see any node in the tree.

There would have to be periodic resets, but I think it would be a fun social experiment.
- The colored boxes should be replaced very quickly to the gif. We find a spinner to be too much of a distraction. We may change the colored boxes to a thumbnail of the gif.

- You can post the gif to FB and reddit using the share buttons. What do you mean by embed?

- Advanced customizations and photo upload are on our roadmap, we can't tell yet when we will do it
I wouldn't say most, but a good proportion is, even possession of it. The catch is that the character has to give the "predominant impression" of being a child, so they can have non-child like features (such as slightly larger breasts, antennae (as was mentioned during the debate) etc.) and still be counted under the law. And you think you can encrypt to get away from it? No chance! If you refuse to hand over your keys to an encrypted volume you can face a maximum of 4 years in prison.
On the topic of tracking, you might want to check your browser extensions as well.

I discovered tracking codes inside a browser extension back in 2013, and I doubt that it would be the last one:

Hi,

The jobs page for engineering positions mentions only San Francisco as the available location but I noticed London in this post. Could you confirm this?
I suspect we are going to see Theranos pivot to becoming a conventional medical technology company, probably focusing on lab tech for blood work analysis etc. They are likely to disappear from public consciousness until we hear about an acquisition by a Siemens type company.

They got here through hype, smoke and mirrors, but they now have the capital, social network and core organizational processes in place to do this and it is a rational path to recouping time and $ investments from everyone involved.

However it will be difficult/impossible for this to pivot to happen without Elizabeth Holmes' resignation.
To quote Malory Archer: "It's the government! Even if it wasn't legal they'd enforce it."

It's all in gsuite, I believe. For how long, I don't know. I can't imagine Google not taking notice.
There's a difference between being illegal and there being a precedent of it being illegal.

The government does lots of things that are probably illegal but there's no precedent set. That gives them the opportunity to argue in court why the specific instance in question is different.
Yes, this sounds like paradise
I wasn't endorsing, just providing an explanation of why while in theory copying and package inclusion are the same from a license standpoint, they likely often aren't in reality. That doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Your argument is the correct moral and legal one. Unfortunately that doesn't always matter. For another example, see the cognitive dissonance many express regarding ad blocking (not to come down entirely on one side of that issue, it's complicated).
> How do you persuade people who have been using your services free to start paying $5 or $10 a month?

I've starting paying for stuff like music services, apps and newspapers just to try to keep stuff alive. I realized I would happily pay $500 for a phone but never wanted to pay for a $2 app.

There is so much sh*tty content out there I'm actually enjoying having ad free access to a lot of good stuff. I still dont really like paying but if I dont no one will. I think I'll start paying $5/mo for soundcloud too.
And now you're seeing a shift to smaller satellites with shorter operation lifetimes, and in lower orbits. This allows for use of off the shelf hardware and faster iteration. The barrier for this was brought down because it is cheaper to send hardware to space and the idea of a cluster of small sats isn't crazy anymore (because you need many satellites to provide continuous service to a specific ground location when using LEO).
I just opened it from my frontpage.
Maybe. But I find it really weird that people constantly wring their hands over a few thousand tons of nuclear waste because it remains dangerous for ten thousand years, yet pay almost no attention to millions of tons of chemical waste that remains dangerous until the end of time.

I realize people can't worry about every single thing, and worrying about one thing doesn't mean other things aren't a problem. But at the same time, I see lots of people say that nuclear is worse than fossil fuels because of the waste problem, which makes no sense to me at all.
The killer feature is having the same UTXO history as legacy Bitcoin. That is a genius way of on-boarding a huge array of users without having to worry about a premine/crowdsale considering those are ridiculously overcrowded at the moment.
I'm hoping that labels and musicians wise up and move to a coop model.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far on http://resonate.is and am hopeful that those lessons will finally be learned.
Yes the blockchain is just a data structure. A fancy tree. The more interesting part of cryptocurrencies are the dynamic membership multiparty signature schemes they implement, but those don't make for as nice of soundbites.
Vic is on my short list of people who need to be kicked in the jibbly bits. He's tone-deaf arrogant, and unapologeticly ignorant of the qualities that actually make products great. Every time I saw him speak at the company where we both worked (thankfully on different teams) I got the urge to cram my fist in his flapping face.
I actually don't disagree with him here, I just can't take seriously anything he says.
SEEKING FREELANCER - Washington, D.C. metro / Remote

We have developed a SaaS application that provides e-commerce capabilities, product sales on a subscription basis, and recurring billing capabilities. The application utilizes Stripe and the Stripe API (v3) to process payments.

Stripe payment processing is integrated and nearly feature complete. However, Stripe Connect is not currently integrated. We are seeking support in the following capacity:

- Consult on best practices for Stripe integration, including Stripe Connect.
- Provide implementation services for Stripe Connect
- Potential review and remediation of existing Stripe implementation.

This engagement could be one or all of the above. However, our primary need in in understanding Stripe Connect and the best approach to integrate it into the application. We are open to other areas of advisement in the use of Stripe.

The application is built on top of a LAMP stack using concrete5 as the framework. concrete5 is an MVC framework that is very similar to Laravel or Symfony. We can provide any level of support and guidance to the developer for both the framework and application.

Other ongoing opportunities are in the queue for continued development of this application.

Also important to mention that Guggy is mostly made for messaging/texting. Our main products are iOS/Android keyboards which allow you to share GIFs in messaging apps such as iMessage, FB Messenger, WhatsApp etc.
How is a nuclear comeback more closely related to old reactor shutdowns than new reactor designs? For a real example of energy generation being abandoned look at dams which have no new generation of potential replacements causing discussion.
Outside the bitcoin community? Not much.

Inside? First salvo in a massive political civil war between interests with different goals. There's this Bitcoin Cash implementation vs Segwit.

A decentralized solution like Mastodon/GNUSocial would be the best bet. Would probably be pretty simple, few weekends of work.

Oh yeah, they are totally broken. I was pointing out the price point of their oil is higher than others in this downward pressure environment. It actually would take some basic competence to make it work which they have none. The government clearly doesn't understand the basics of running a grocery much less a country.
If the compiler gives you an error with a suggestion "You probably need to add `extern crate foo;`" (and it already does in some cases), RLS (i.e., your editor plugin) will be able to automatically add it for you (soon™).
I love guggy on slack. It's always way more fitting for a reaction than giphy.
Zemanta (an Outbrain company) | Full-stack Engineer, Backend Engineer | Ljubljana, Slovenia | Full Time - Onsite | https://zemanta.com

At Zemanta, we're building the most advanced native advertising platform in the world. Our recent acquisition by Outbrain is a testament to our cutting-edge tech and the strong team that built it.

Despite the acquisition, Zemanta lives on as a standalone product built by a small (<15 engineers), passionate team based in the beautiful city of Ljubljana. There is still a lot to do, so we're looking for:

Backend engineers to grow our RTB (real-time bidding) infrastructure that currently processes 100k bid requests/second (stack: Go, Python, Kafka, Aerospike, Hadoop, Redshift)

Full-stack engineers to take our user-facing dashboard and API to the next level (stack: Angular, Django, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS)

More info & apply here: https://zemanta.workable.com/
Optimisers reason about this, yes, but they don't define the user-facing language model. They take valid code and transform it in to (hopefully) faster valid code[1] and don't generally emit diagnostics or fail compilation, this means that they can do much more guess work and heuristics rather than having to have predictable, reliable or definable behaviour, all of which are useful for humans writing code (having a predictable optimiser is useful too, but difficulty writing any code at all is worse than difficulty optimising the spots where the optimiser isn't hitting performance targets).

Integrating this sort of thing into the type system "properly" (as in, actually part of the language and doing all of what I think Animats wants) basically means going a long way towards full dependent typing.

[1]: behaviour on invalid code, such as C relying on signed integer overflow, is unspecified/undefined. Languages like, say, Rust and Haskell generally try to guarantee the optimiser never gets invalid code by flagging such instances at compile time, unlike most/all C and C++ compilers.

For those who don't know, this is Parkinson's law :-)
As mangix said, it is not a question of "having this version in router's kernel" because it depends strictly on the kind of chip the hardware uses. Most Wi-Fi chips use their own program which is called "a binary blob", they do not use the Wi-Fi stack of Linux except as a wrapper around their own code, which is not accessible in source, only in binary.

This is why for example in Ubuntu (but also in most other Linux distributions) there are "third party codes" that are "not free".
Thanks! I wonder, are you missing the ability to choose from several options? We haven't implemented that there yet.
GNU has made an OS, and it is frequently used in conjunction with Linux. HURD on the other hand according to Stallman is of lower priority because there is already a major copyleft kernel and so the pressure of necessity is much lower, leading developers to want to spend more time on other projects.
out of curiosity which part? the 9 year old white paper never mentions payment channels

this isn't an opinion about any bitcoin fork, just curiosity about what you are referring to. you say its not hard to read satoshi's words, but you rely on having to read and interpret every single forum post scattered around the internet?
Can you suggest an alternative? LEDCs? Developing countries? Newly industrialized countries? TPLACs (in jest)?
No, it's not. It's its own thing.

Shown when you hover over the question mark.
This isn't really a climate change issue like the article suggest (and which doesn't sell well commercially) but an arbitrage idea. Store energy when it's cheap and use it when it's expensive.
It is absolutely solvable with AI/ML but it will take a while to get there. The human moderators fill the gap while we wait (which could be years).
So for those of us who aren't selective with the connections we allow, is it feasible to start using Little Snitch? I'd be interested in trying, but it seems like there would be dozens if not hundreds of "strange" connections that you'd have to filter through which ultimately turn out to be innocent (e.g. OS X update checks).
The short version is that solids have merely ok heat capacity. The molar heat capacity of many solids at high temperatures is approximately 3R or approx. 25 J/molK. Google "Dulong-Petit Law" and "Debye Model" if you'd like to see why.

By comparison, the polar molecule water, which has extraordinarily good heat capacity, due in part to hydrogen bonding, is 75 J/molK at room temperature.

So water has almost 31x the heat capacity of tungsten by weight.
The last I tried, it did not run on FreeBSD.

The 32-bit version crashes immediately after a failed mmap()

The 64-bit version has issues with nvidia GL libs that I didn't try to get past.

Wine just worked.

There has been some work recently with mmap and linux compat, so I will retry again when I have the chance..
I'm not saying there isn't an ad market. But, where is the growth coming from. Broadband is pretty close to saturated. Do people really search more than they used to? Are people spending that much more time online? is Cost per click going up that fast? is view to click ration going up?
275MB for LinkedIn is the complaint, to one-up that...I recently got an update for Hearthstone on iOS of 2.3GB. It adds one pack of cards.
The first day of using Little Snitch may drive you insane. It gets better rapidly after.
The crucial difference is that CD postulates that if a change passes your automated test suite, it's good enough to immediately go live. I've dealt with many complex systems, some with pretty exhaustive test coverage, and this wasn't true in any of them. Unless your service is completely brain-dead simple (which none of them are once you have to scale), you always need a human looking at the release and driving it, and turning things off if tests missed bugs.
Because redheads are so unbelievably common in Ireland, calling him the "smartest redhead in Ireland" is a clever little joke that draws a contrast between his exotic intelligence (building an AI system, desigining a programming language) and his incredible ordinariness (having red hair in Ireland).
I think I misunderstood - I thought you meant there was a way to ship slim c# exe files.
Probably only widely used static C library with fine grained dependency tracking is glibc. The source code structure required for that is probably one of the major reasons for people to call glibc's source code unreadable and/or unmaintable.
That's true, however, it important to mention that Guggy is mostly meant for messaging.
I see on the jobs page that it must be current, are able to sponsor clearances?
This is important. It looks like the organization is submerging; they've deleted their NPM account and the package and emptied their GitHub repo.

This should be signal boosted as hard as it can be managed, because this is rough stuff.
Why would a larger block size increase fees?

ASICBoost might be a reason miners are against segwit. But enabling offchain payments kills the P2P aspect pretty hard.

There's no good reason for not having had at least 2MB blocks years ago. And it'd have provided solid info on the real impact, not just fear mongering.
And if you scale it up, dialects and even languages.
The following are rebuttals that apply only to Americans but might also be valid elsewhere.

1. Plastics can be made biodegradable and from plant sources, and already are in a wide number of products.

2. There's already disincentive to waste fuel as it costs more, add to that an obvious demand for electric cars, I'd say people already are looking to do this.

3. Let's be honest there are far more pressing issues with air travel than the environment.

4. Yeah, this one sucks, contact lenses too.

5. There are stylish vegan dress shoes, as well as cheap dress shoes made without animal products. Both are easy to find. Unless you're vegan there's nothing wrong with pudding. Jello, gummy bears, and a wide assortment of other yummies that use gelatin, however, you're out of luck, but you can still do Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids.

I mean if we're talking about lines being drawn, we're the wealthiest country in the world, other parts of the world don't have a choice. You're right, of course, that everyone has their own point where it becomes too much but, shouldn't we be willing to be a little bit less lazy or stricter on pig farmers (the predominant producers of the toxicity problem). It's not just animal rights people and environmentalist this affects, it's causing algal blooms (Red Tide), killing off fishing industries in the Gulf, hurting the capacity of a huge natural CO2 sink, and lowering the property values of those around them. They've taken a communal resource and damaged it for everyone without recourse. Sounds pretty straightforward to me.
Thank was just wondering.
There isn't a legitimate reason to restrict block sizes to 1MB. That is the primary reason for the fork.

Some claim that anything larger than 1MB will "hurt decentralization", but many others have shown this to be a very weak argument (sorry, I don't have any links handy).

You don't need every Jane Smith running a full node on a rasberry pi to have robust decentralization.
