My previous job included this kind of work (along with coding up dirty prototypes and a bit of asset management). My job title eventually settled on "Research Engineer". The original job description was very broad, so I would suggest applying for any job postings by academic institutions that seem related.

Academia is being pushed more and more toward industry collaboration, so if you can get the exposure and connections it shouldn't be too hard to find the opportunities from the inside.

You really have to enjoy this kind of work and some of the frustrations that come with it. I did, but ultimately had to leave when funding for my group ran out. If life circumstances allowed me to work for less I might have stayed with them.

UWP supports JavaScript? Cool, in that case a bunch of transpilers should work (once bindings are written) ... people can just use their preferred languages: OCaml/BuckleScript, F#/Fable, TypeScript, PureScript, et al.

I've actually written and run JScript scripts on Windows Script Host with BuckleScript, it's really nifty. You write strongly-typed code and get a JS artifact that can run on your target platform. For the curious, an example: https://github.com/yawaramin/wsh-bs-test

i agree with others that the standing desk industry doesn't hold much sway, but at the same time, if some experts say sitting is the most dangerous thing a person does in a day, then some experts are laughably stupid.

why is this sort of thing so common? these articles taking a common fact of life and using it to tell their readers they're doing it wrong and killing themselves and everyone they love? why is that such a common tactic for getting eyeballs? i guess because it works. but is it good for people to injest so much of this?

to be clear, i'm not saying that there aren't adverse health effects from sitting too much, and i'm sure there's good science to back that up, but there's a lot of good science, most of which never gets a writeup in bloomberg. so why do we get so much of "dangers of sitting", or "you're walking all wrong", and on and on?

Japan is reverting to a state of being as technologically and economically irrelevant as Western European countries.

The most common thing I see on the news and hear people worry about is the violence going on in America and in the increasingly common European terror attacks. The attitude to immigration is only being solidified here, and none of the "but what about your GDP???" stuff matters to anyone but degree mill economists. The country is safe and stable, and population is coming down to a number that's more sustainable for a small, mountainous, mostly non-arable country. That's all that people really care about.

> I thought there was always an Officer of the Deck empowered to make decisions in these situations?

As I understand there must be an OOD, and there may also be a Conning Officer (usually the Jr. OOD) delegated under him and a Command Duty Officer above him, all with authority over shiphandling.

> I would also like to know the answer to “a the hull of a billion dollar warship having much less intrinsic strength than a Korean built containership that was delivered for a fraction of the cost?” and the other construction questions asked in the article.

As I understand, that's expected; warships are lighter, designed for speed and agility, and never double hulled (because that compromises speed and agility.)
Japan's primary problem, though, is not a lack of skilled professionals (although as someone involved in hiring bilingual IT professionals there, I can assure you that's a problem too), but a lack of unskilled/low-skilled workers to work in agriculture, nursing, etc. And Japan is not at all keen on this type of immigration.

As a simple example, Japan invited a bunch of Filipino nurses to work in Japan for a while, and they could stay if they completed the Japanese national nursing exam... in Japanese:

> A 956 with five LeMans wins sold for $10.12M

I love the 956 as much as the next guy (more, even) but the only model to ever win Le Mans five times was the Audi R8, and it wasn't with the same chassis, I'm sure. Did you mean they sold a Le Mans chassis that won five races, more generally? Not trying to be a pedant, I'm honestly curious which car you're talking about.

> The L&M sponsored 917/10 sold for $5.83M

That's a surprisingly small figure. Which really speaks to your point, I guess.

> I don't mind paying Google say ₹50 a month for the ability to reach a customer service agent when things go wrong. And one who's actually empowered to fix things, not a mindless drone.

I'd bet that type of customer service costs far more than that.

> Just because it's a consumer (rather than business) account doesn't mean we shouldn't have customer service, if we're willing to pay for it. There's no reason Google can't cater to us while also providing no-service free products.

And I'd bet there are too few consumers willing to pay for it to justify Google offering. It is the old argumentum ad capitalismum, if it would make money, I'm sure Google would offer it.
> How then does half of the complex ship loose power completely?

What? You don't think a massive midships collision would disrupt of power distribution? I'm amazed the ship had power at all. If you want an example of brittle power distribution look at the 2011 outage of all San Diego county: one maintenance worker at the Arizona border did that. Oh, by the way, during that event, it was Navy carriers in port that brought up their reactors and powered critical infrastructure in the city.

> did the damage control efforts result in a reduced situational awareness after the collision?

Yes. Definitely. Being that it was dark out didn't help. Fog of war.

> What design and construction tradeoffs were made that resulted in a the hull of a billion dollar warship having much less intrinsic strength than a Korean built containership

None. If you drive a semi into the side of an F-1 race car, that race car is going to be hella worse for the wear. Anyone who has ever played American football understands the actor with more kinetic energy is going to come out on top in a collision.

Konrad's shriller lines, as above, make it difficult for me to focus on the rest of the topic. He raises some good points.

Unfortunately, he also lambasts Richardson for looking into "operational tempo, trends in personnel, material, maintenance and equipment." Well, actually, those were exactly the things I would think should be looked into.

Konrad has some decent points, but tread lightly while reading. Unless you know something about ships, it'll be hard to pick out what makes sense.
There's considerable wishful thinking about autonomous cars. Not about the technology; that's coming along fine. (I used to work on that stuff.) About the business possibilities. There's a fantasy that there's a high-margin business opportunity in there somewhere.

The most likely outcome in the near term is that self-driving is an auto accessory you can order for a car. That's what the car-makers have in mind, and most of them are talking about shipping it for the 2020-2021 model year. In that business model, it's not a big money-maker for whoever sells the self-driving technology. They get to be a Tier I auto parts supplier, squeezed hard on price.

There's a lot of noise about "transportation as a service". Remember that Uber loses money, even after squeezing its drivers really hard and making them buy and maintain the cars. Actual "transportation as a service" is going to look more like car rental and Zipcar, and will probably come from companies that already operate fleets of cars. They already have "rent by the hour, day, week, or month". They're just adding "rent by the trip". Also, bear in mind that "transportation as a service" requires level 5 autonomy - no driver required - so the vehicles can move around empty to pick up a passenger. That's going to come a few years after Level 4.

Autonomous cars don't require car to car communications. They don't need to be "connected" at all. Chris Urmson pointed that out when he was heading Google's self-driving effort. From a safety perspective, it might be better if they're not connected. The enthusiasm for car to car communications is coming from the infotainment and advertising people.
Yeah, I'm bummed about this as well. One answer to your accidentally deleted file might be to do snapshots at home (I do them using ZFS). That way, you can recover those locally if required and then use your external backup provider for true disasters. But I agree it's a shitty compromise.

> a consumer electronics company that wants to enter the automotive industry.

I'd argue electric cars paired with automation are as near consumer electronics as they are to the automotive industry. Shedding the engine, transmission, steering column, and pretty much all mechanical systems bar the electric motors and braking systems, why couldn't they design it in California and outsource manufacturing to Hon Hai/Foxconn and their partners the way they do with their phones?
Those stories are everywhere, but it doesn't make them worthless. I think it's often overlooked that these stories do take a lot of work to discover, and that losing those resources could become dangerous. Case in point: the Trump Jr meeting with a Russian delegation came out because the New York Times invested months tracking it down. Or, more recently, this story about Icahn, that probably lead to his resignation: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/08/28/carl-icahns-fai..., and this rather impressive and extremely long expose on a single real estate deal in Georgia: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/08/21/trumps-business...

I'm pretty sure that if you spend 30 to 40 minutes daily scanning through the NYT or WSJ, or read the Economist cover-to-cover every week, you'll have a well-rounded knowledge of world affairs.
Sounds a lot like a company that wanted to build a new house of the future but found out they prefer redesigning the light fixtures, faucets, etc rather than the house itself. Aka the general UX details rather that would be ideal in a modern house rather than the house itself.

Apple probably would never have developed the smartphone first but they did a hell of a good job at getting all the details right with the iPhone once the bigger picture was worked out by other companies - and general technical progress.

I'd imagine the same thing for the future AI interface. I'd want my AI front-end to be developed by Apple but my pedestrian detection algorithm developed by Google, and my car designed by BMW.

The most important thing for talented people (and by proxy organizations) to figure is what they are best at contributing to the world and focusing on that. Instead of trying to do everything.

Trucks hold their value better than cars.

>Certain segments are shedding value even more quickly. Subcompact cars, such as the Honda Fit, and large sedans, such as the Chevrolet Impala, are depreciating faster than average. Big SUVs, vans, and pickups are holding their value a little better, and imports tend to drop more quickly than domestic models.
The major goal of Common Lisp was commonality, and that means incorporating forms from various dialects into one and to maintain compatibility, like you said. That goal has been accomplished.

I think that carefully designed dialects with emphasis on right principles and attention to details leading by people like David Moon would be aesthetically better than a good kitchen sink. It is no coincidence that Common Lisp took most of stuff from Zetalisp, according to CLtL2.

I think it is a general heuristic that a small group of disciplined devoties would produce better artifact than an vast assembly of... general public or passionate and productive but ignorant individual. Think of Python3 vs Ruby, Go vs early C++ or Scheme vs CL. Attention to details and perfectionism works - look at Haskell syntax and prelude. (All this just to illustrate validity of my heuristic).

That is not true. Economy is essential to the well being of the people. And it is not hard to see that once the Japanese people get old enough, the tax on the young people to sustain the old generation will become unbearable, the society is not going to hold itself, and I don't think we will be even talking about Japan at that point because no one would want to live there anymore

And the price of gas might plummet as big oil realises no-one is buying.

Eventually this will end up costing more - all the gas stations will close as it gets too expensive with reduced economies of scale, but until they go out of business they'll cut prices.

I read that report. It's all about post-collision damage control efforts. There's nothing about the events leading up to the collision. The timeline starts at the collision. Presumably there's a more useful report internal to the Navy.
Interesting story is how the Apple III is needlessly turned into a reliability (and commercial) disaster because mr. Steve "genius" Jobs stupidly insisted that the machine shall have no fans.

So the thing -dozens of ICs inside- overheated so much to the point of failure. This was already warned by their (capable, well respected) designer Wendell Sanders, but Jobs, being Jobs, wanted things his way.

Love the idea.
Here's a more in-depth look at the issue of immigration vs automation as it relates to Japan, from 2 Japanese economists: http://www.japanpolicyforum.jp/archives/economy/pt2014103018...

My commentary with support from that article follows:

A country with the population of Japan has no chance of maintaining a higher absolute GDP than countries with multiples of their population and more land to expand population. A policy to try to maintain their status in the world in terms of GDP is just silly.

If, however, Japan is more interested in the well-being of their population than some sort of international power-play, then this is the route to go. Population growth has no correlation to GDP per capita, so what's the point of increasing immigration of low-skilled workers? The upside is minimal, and the potential downside is unknown and unbounded.

I've been living in Japan for a little over 2 years now, and haven't talked to anyone who is worried about the long-term prospects of Japan's economy. There are structural changes that can and probably should be made, as outlined in the link above, but the country is not on some death-spiral like a lot of Western media would have you believe.

Is Japan a magical land of far-advanced technology, delicious food, safe and clean cities, beautiful countrysides, and amazing public transportation? Actually, yes; the "far-advanced technology" part just doesn't extend to mass-market consumer electronics in the same way any more.
Ask HN: Is Fastmail any better than Gmail on locking people out?
I have just been planning to register for a fastmail account. However, when I went to their terms of service page, I found this - "The Service Provider may terminate your access to any part or all of the Service and any related service(s) at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately, for any reason whatsoever, with or without providing any refund of any payments."

Given that email is a very important service, and that we often hear people being locked out of their Gmail accounts by Google, I don't see how fastmail is better here. Are they considered better just for the lack of a precedent, even though they too reserve the same power with them?
This is what I do. Friend of a friend is a dealer. He's at the auctions every other day. I just put in an order with him and he'll call me when he finds something good. I trust him. Having had a bad deal yet. Charges $400.
