Peterson Center on Healthcare | Tech Lead / Manager | Full Time | ONSITE | New York, NY http://petersonhealthcare.org/
Our tech stack: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, JavaScript (React), AWS EC2/S3, Travis CI

We are a team of technologists, designers, doctors, and healthcare professionals on a mission to transform the US healthcare system into a high performance system so that affordable, high quality care is available to all. The Center is a startup nonprofit healthcare innovation lab with a significant initial endowment ($200M). Our advisory board includes healthcare and technology experts including everyone from Bill Gates to Toby Cosgrove.

We believe the biggest lever for reducing cost and improving quality of care is through changing the behavior of healthcare professionals. Our first focus area is on primary care, and we have built out an initial software-enabled service to help practice managers introduce evidence-based workflow changes, see the impact these changes have on metrics that matter to the practice, and sustain these changes over time (think of it almost like teaching the agile process to healthcare professionals).

We are looking for a hands-on tech lead/manager (http://petersonhealthcare.org/careers/software-engineering-t...) to be the anchor of our engineering team as we grow our headcount in the next year. A passion for improving the healthcare industry and driving positive social impact is a huge plus.

Please send your resume and a few words on why you'd like to join us to me (Shawn): sdimantha (at) petersonhealthcare [dot] org
Did not know about Badmephisto being at Tesla -- I remember having printed out his tutorials and guides to improve my time. Good days.

Have your experiences with other cubers been similar to those of Fridrich's? Mine definitely have -- it's curious how "cubing culture" has developed to be very similar everywhere.
I mean, there are social codes in any group. It's not unique to rich people, it's just how humans are. There are middle class equivalents to some of these. Growing up, we didn't shop at Nordstrom, but we certainly didn't shop at Goodwill. In most places, there are "middle class" grocery stores and clothing shops. It's just that, if you don't shift groups, you usually don't notice the rules and structures because you've internalized them so much. "What the hell is water?"[1] and all that.

Totally! There's a lot of code out there that doesn't do this, even if it could. That's also a lot more code, so I imagine people do it less often as well.

Beyond that as well, you won't get an error if you don't use f(7), that is, if your main is empty, which would affect library authors.

Time waste alert. As soon as I applied, I got an email with a take home test (seemed automated, but the person did answer my follow-up questions). Got an automated rejection email a few days after I submitted my solution. I guess they wanted me to implement the distance-between-coordinates part myself rather than use a well-tested npm module (even though they said "as if you intended to ship it to production").
> “The good news is that in Signal the attack is very difficult to execute,” Green noted. “The reason is that in order to add someone to your group, I need to know the group ID. Since the group ID is a random 128-bit number (and is never revealed to non-group-members or even the server) that pretty much blocks the attack. The main exception to this is former group members, who already know the group ID — and can now add themselves back to the group with impunity.”

Sounds like making a mountain out of a molehill.

You have answered your own question. The value is the technology. It has a real-world use.

Prodigy raises $5.4M to unify the in-store and online car-buying experience
> I'm not seeing how this is more invasive.

It's not more invasive, but it's much cheaper. Allstate used to have to pay a rent-a-cop to park outside someone's house for every dubious claim. Now they can surveil millions of people almost for free. That's a huge difference.
I created a similar open source tool for this for work a few years ago called drill-sergeant: https://github.com/zumba/drill-sergeant

However, it leaves the scheduling mechanism up to you. We currently have it on a crontab on one of our build boxes that notifies hipchat hourly and a separate cron that sends an email digest once a day.

I also created a hubot integration as well, but it is out of date since we use the direct hipchat integration: https://github.com/cjsaylor/hubot-drill-sergeant
> Why would we dislike more complete information?

Perfect information is impossible. The problem people have with this is that social media information may not enough have enough context to provide anything more than noise or a misleading picture.
Until the details are revealed, I won't buy this. It seems to have been introduced to take advantage of upcoming elections.

The reason I'm skeptical about this step is because there are simply no specific blueprint whatsoever. And with recent government implementations, their biggest failure turns out to be ambiguity. Good example is GST. After it's launch several month's ago, almost every big/small industry is finding it hard to get the specific details.

I highly doubt about government's ability to implement it. This insurance should have been given on basis of economical standing. Choosing a random 500M number is good for making headlines but again it is not clear on who will gain this insurance benefits?, what will be covered?, how to claim it? I foresee, "divide and rule" :p

On another note, please have a look at Sensex. It's near all time high. The reason behind such rally is not FII but DII. Infact, FII has actively removed over $20Bn since 2015. There was slight influx of FII money post two months of demonetisation but again outflow increased in following months. But still Sensex didn't crashed because of the counter balance from DII or read it as mostly mutual fund companies. Also, I had noticed an increased expenditure in mutual fund investment ads on TV and almost all types of media. And these ads were sponsored mostly by govt bodies and associations. There is nothing wrong to invest in mutual funds. But when I heard about long term and short term capital gains tax today, things got much clearer for me as to why DII raised some much cash in very short period of time.
To check the validity of above numbers, you can refer to sensex related stats on moneycontrol.com and check out the YoY sensex FII/DII activity. It has a very well explanatory chart about it.
That would be upper middle class.

(Not to mention in the US even coal miners would describe themselves as "middle class" these days, nobody is "working class" anymore).

Indeed this is a very very old library and wx has existed for a long time. I think many of the existing GUI have been ported to or started out with Qt. I did a project using WxPython before, while it was much more pleasant than Qt (it was around 2011), the GUI felt really old. After that, I switched to Qt for another project due to the size of community support and the features available in Qt.

Either way, at least in my experience, I had to look up the C++ documentation because the Python binding documentation was never complete.
I fail to see the need for such "experimentation" considering that this has all happened before, and those lessons were learned.

That, and generally those who advocate that something should "take a hit" are usually not the ones who are going to be harmed by it.

Just one thing you should be sure to check: how the crown reacts to UV light. Real teeth fluoresce!

Unfortunately, a surprising number of manufacturers don't take this into account when formulating ceramics for crowns.

It's quite disconcerting to find yourself in a night club, unable to smile or talk properly because of the huge black gap in your teeth...

I think I saw a segment on maybe Vice about Chicago. Yes, it is a hell scape. There are a lot of reasons, and some date back to the founding of the country. I think presently, the three big ones are: 1. As a country, we don't take care of our citizens, 2. The only solution we have to our societal everyday type problems is to call the police and let them handle it, 3. Police are trained to be police in the traditional sense, so their go-to method is to be aggressive and arrest people.

It's a downward spiral that has been going on for decades. To make matters worse, policing is delegated to the state and local levels, which aren't under the microscope that the federal government is.

It's also not just a black or minority problem. I say this because I believe many white voters are more complacent because they don't believe they would be affected by it. If you are in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the wrong police officer, you aren't immune to disastrous results. White voters shouldn't fool ourselves to believing they are unaffected. Remember blacks get killed disproportionately to the national population, but whites get killed in higher numbers.

It's depressing.
Yep, yep & yep it helps learning Vanilla JS. But I don't think people will now go back to use `var` rather than `let` & `const`. Yeah I can give a basic overview why we have ES2015/16/17/18 when we can still use Vanilla JS. But my question is would most people learn that content when you know you can write better code in ES6 or ES7 & use Babel to transpile it to Vanilla JS?

The point is I want to reach to more people & I don't think there are many people like you & me that are willing to learn the roots of the evolution of JavaScript. If you think it would reach a wider audience, I can make tutorials on it.

But there are some awesome resources which have many of those things are - https://javascript30.com & http://exploringjs.com & http://2ality.com/2017/02/ecmascript-2018.html

I was thinking maybe its better to create something which has less awesome resources. Something like Svelte or a full blown tutorial like https://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutoria...
I had braces maybe 25 years ago and even then my orthodontist used the UV-ish light.
Yea, there are lots of effects and tools hidden in there! I've been able to implement every effect I've ever needed without much effort. I actually have been using blender since I was a kid so I know my way around better than most. I'll edit this comment later with some quick tips or examples.

Or in spite of it.

This is a startup website, where thousands of software engineers get paid in lottery tickets that are not regulated, because they cannot sell the lottery tickets (THAT is regulated).

There has been nominally more money coming in to ICO's which are terrible investments than startups in the bay area. Thats how bad SEC regulations are: all that money could have gone to way more promising ventures, but it cant because it is blocked.

There is no problem if you want that level of protection, but rich people dont have it and profit from not having it. You go pay your poor mans tax and let the people that don't want to pay it roam free.
I like how you implemented our suggestions :)

You made it simple to switch between sources, and I like how clean the UI is.

Initially, I thought about each comment source being a separate extension. But I can see the value in integrating the sources into one. It makes it easier to get another perspective on a topic, without setting up too many things.

On the subject of getting different perspectives: Can you select the subreddits that provide you with the comments?

> I thought Finland was one of the few places where taxi prices were high enough that taxi drivers could make a fair living off it.

Please explain why taxi drivers, or any occupation should be able to make a "fair living" (ill defined term) off of it.

In the majority of cases, the only thing regulation of an industry does is raise artificial walls and lower overall use of the good/service. Or maybe you think the DPRK, Venezuela, and Cuba are good examples.
Apparently implants have been made for over 100 years, even before titanium was 'discovered' in the 60s.

The best bet we have to replace that are root-analogue implants [1] - essentially a physical 3D-printed copy of the whole tooth, including roots. Unfortunately information is scarce (as you can see in that wikipedia page), it's not even mentioned in the main 'Dental implant' article. There is a single dentist in the entire world [2] actively offering these implants, and going at it for 20 years.

Just because you personally weren't consulted on those regulations doesn't mean that they weren't come to by people who were democratically elected. And you agreed to abide by the laws of a jurisdiction by living there. Otherwise, what's to stop you from saying, "I never agreed not to kill people"?
Same. I ran my MBP until El Cap came out, then upgraded to Mavericks (by that point, Apple had stopped letting me decline the upgrade...). Hated Mavericks from the start, too many UI changes, iOS features I'd been avoiding the newer versions for, reversing half the multi-touch gestures, and some instability in the mix too from running on old (but officially supported) hardware.

The MBP came with Leopard, which I found great on its own, and Snow Leopard was an OS I actually paid real money for. It wasn't exactly expensive (£23), and to this day I don't regret it, because it was a truly brilliant OS. Stable, intuitive, and above all, usable. Nice, non-invasive UI with no superficial differences to the previous release, reduced disk footprint, more efficient use of the 64-bit CPU, and it just worked, year after year. SL felt like a very polished OS that Apple were actually proud of. My company uses Sierra, which is passable, but High Sierra (which by its naming scheme should be an SL-like release) is the antithesis of SL - unfinished, buggy as hell and with stupid security holes. I have thus far refused to upgrade any of our Macs, and am pretty sure we're going to skip it for the next version.

If anything, I wish Apple had changed the name to OS 11 with Mavericks, rather than continue with OSX for a while. It would help disassociate the current poor-quality OSes with their ancestry.
Stackoverflow careers often list a number of jobs close to where I work in Oslo.

It seems to me if one gets a real job offer then there is a good chance to get a work permit.
We've been conditioned to learn that soon >= 10 years (until the next 'soon' is announced). Has that changed in biosciences this decade?

How about doing a scraping of e.g. 10k Google Scholar profiles with more than ~10 publications to get the domains of their verified email addresses? Then you have a much broader whitelist than just *.edu.

Or you can crowdsource this, say I want to register as john.doe@instituteoptique.fr; in the registration form simply require me to give a link to someone's Google Scholar profile with an email address from the same domain.

It should also be noted that e.g. on Figshare, anyone can upload any PDF and get a DOI for it.
If anything the internet has made it easier for the already powerful to control ever larger shares of the economy.

I think what's being referred to is less about more options, and more about combining options in a new way so you can up sell it. Getting access to your first Thai, Indian etc. restaurant is amazing. Suffering through someone's new tex-mex/filipino/Eskimo fusion because friends want to try it is often not.

Well sure. That is to say that Qt/Wx/GTK/etc. are as useless to cabalamat as to a Ukrainian plumber. In other words, that isn't saying much. If you don't write desktop apps, you wouldn't use a desktop app GUI toolkit, but that's a tautology. But cabalamat's comment implied that all desktop GUI toolkits are now useless because we have the web, which is a fallacy of generalizing personal experience to everyone else.
You have that as middle class too.

Try liking somethings considered as "white trash" hobbies/entertainment/activities, or as "posh" ones as a middle class person.

People are dual broadcasting their video feeds in podcast version. Radio stations are also releasing their daily radio ep's in podcast form. Paid shows also release a audio only as a teaser to get people to subscribe.

Its basically free promotion of your show, just release it in mp3 as a podcast and let it trend.

Example, Joe Rogan has his 3 hour daily video show, but he also broadcasts his show in audio only. His mp3 podcast version is one of the most popular podcasts out.

Sending money overseas with bitcoin doesn't exhaust the supply of bitcoin. The bitcoin isn't consumed - it's converted from useful money to bitcoin at one end, and bitcoin to useful money at the other. While a limited supply of bitcoin would limit the throughput, the ledger calculation already does that, and at a much lower rate. So it's not as if any utility immediately lends bitcoin value.
> is this any different than what banks have been doing for forever with fractional reserve

No. They are different. The bank turns liquid cash into much less liquid assets (houses, cars, boats, new businesses) by way of loaning out the money. All of the banks liabilities (the depositors) are backed by the banks assets (loans for stuff).
