----- My take -----

Nexient are good people: My experience at Nexient has been overwhelmingly positive, they are flexible, caring and fun to work at. They actually care about the life/work balance too. Multiple tabletop, D&D, console gaming nights are organized all the time. Charity drives and other ways to give are also promoted within the company. The work environment is really nice too, with motorized standing/sitting desks and laptops that actually have enough memory!! Nexient do outsourcing but with US-based staff, we work closely with clients so we're just part of the team.

----- Recruiting Dept's Description -----

Nexient is hiring! In 2009, we launched Nexient to give American businesses a more responsive, domestic alternative to sending software development offshore. We knew we could deliver better software faster by collaborating with clients in real time. Today, we’re the only 100% US tech company among the World’s Top 100 Outsourcers. Every day, we help dozens of businesses — mostly Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing tech product companies — accelerate their products and services to market and increase their agility.

We are hiring software programmers across all levels – for backend and frontend development using Java, C++, JavaScript, Angular, React and associated technology stacks. The list of current openings is available at https://www.nexient.com/careers. These are full time positions working from Nexient’s delivery center at Ann Arbor, MI. Visa sponsorship and telecommute / remote work options are not available for these roles.

So what I think you're referring to is something I might otherwise call the Pauli Exclusion Principle for Children (or PEPC) for short.

Just like fermions, children it seems can't occupy the same state. This means that if one child is the "good one", a sibling won't be. They'll find their own niche. They could be the clown, or the athlete or the bookworm or whatever.

So if I read your comment correctly, you're essentially saying something similar with coping strategies. I can't and don't disagree with that idea but it's not mutually exclusive with genetic predisposition either. Just imagine two sisters do have a genetic predisposition to "sugar addiction". It doesn't mean they'll both become sugar addicts.

We have lots of opportunities for automation and development, and value partnering with developers to help deliver value rather than just fighting fires. Instead, as the SRE team, our goal is to make sure that our developers can get the job done in the most frictionless way possible, so that new features and improvements can reach our user base faster (and bugs get squashed easier!)

Neat, but why is for example 163^16 such a coincidence? It's not that unlikely for digits to add up to 163, and given that you can choose both a base and an exponent, there's bound to be many that work out like this. 163^16 has 36 digits, so expected sum (average expected value of a random digit 0-9 being 4.5) be 162. So that's even pretty close to 163.

Also, why limit this to base 10? Anything with base 10 digits is not the purest possible math imho because it depends on the arbitrary value 10 while you could generalize to any other value.

So many people and content sites put out menaingless predictions that there is no consequence of being wrong on. Unless the author has sufficient skin in the game, for example they take a short position on the S&P to back up the predicted drop we as readers should not put much credence in “prediction listicles.”

Since its just about content in Saudi Arabia (ie. it doesn't affect you if your not in Saudi Arabia) I don't get what all the fuzz is about. It was also on local Dutch news sites.

Sure censorship is bad but I bet far worse things have happened in Saudi Arabia then some Netflix thing that got blocked. So why is this "news" suddenly everywhere?

In addition to using a very standard font, screenplays have a lot of other very strict formatting guidelines involving use of things like particular whitespace rhythms.

It's the combination of the whole, including and especially the whitespace rhythms (which are still connected to font metrics, of course), that lead to the 1 page is approximately 1 minute guideline metric, because scene descriptions and actions have different whitespace from dialog.

Interestingly, compared to your expectation that a Tarantino screenplay would be more dense than the Fury Road screenplay, it is actually dialog that has a lot more whitespace overall in the screenplay format (they are subject to smaller inner columns) than scene descriptions/action descriptions (which use the full width of the page). Word count wise, action involves a lot more prose than dialog and many of the best action screenplays have more overall word count than a more dialog-heavy screenplay. (What I've seen of the Fury Road screenplay read like a novel, though as is pointed out elsewhere it is fascinating because it was written storyboard first, which is the exception rather than the rule.)

The screenplay format really is a fascinating thing to study. There are some great books out there on the screenplay format and how it came to be what it is today.

I am a creative technologist with a hybrid background in computer science, design and visual arts. I am looking for a contract or permanent position with an interesting group of people working on innovative projects.

My skills and interests are in:

generative arts and design,
user interfaces,
data visualization,
information design,
user experience,
conceptualization and prototyping

Technologies: JavaScript, TypeScript, WebGL, ThreeJS, Raphael, SVG, D3, Processing, Canvas API, ActionScript, NodeJS, jQuery, MEAN, Heroku, Java, Python, C++, PHP, MySQL, MongoDB, Bootstrap, Foundation, HTML, CSS, XML, JSON, REST, Electron, Flash/Flex/AIR, Sketch, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Balsamiq, Axure, iOS, Android, SVN, Git, UNIX/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X
Considering the ~US$187 billion dollar cleanup effort after the most recent failure, just let them try can be an extremely expensive proposition. Operate for 50 years then say, sorry cleanup is your problem now suckers is similarly an issue. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_disaster_cleanup

That’s the catch 22, you need to not just be extremely safe but able to convince others outside your organization that it’s going to work. Having been burned twice by failure modes outside the original context it becomes even more difficult to innovate. Novel designs have novel problems and unknown unkowns can be a huge deal.

Can you get away with fewer guards? Well probably, but the minimum is not clear. How about thinner walls, again probably but can you convince others it’s a good tradeoff? Now extend that to everything.

I’m building a slightly crappier and less ambitious 0-200MHz one at the moment for HF use. Basically a step attenuator, LPF, a pair of NE602 for first and second LO+mix, an old Toko helical filter for first IF and hand built crystal filter (12MHz) for second IF resolution filter and then an AD8307. First LO is a VCO with varactor control driven from an opamp ramp generator. Doesn’t work yet as the Toko filter is broken and I can’t find a suitable replacement and can’t be bothered to make a helical filter.

The things look like rocket science but they are basically superhet receivers with a log converter instead of speakers and a much larger tuning range.

Artory | Full-Stack Engineer | Berlin, Germany | Full Time | ONSITE, VISA

Artory is the the Registry for the Art World and wants you to be a part of it!
Artory has built the world's largest repository of data for the art world. Transparency and integrity is paramount in gaining the trust of the market and becoming the go-to resource for artwork-related information. The Registry enables partners (e.g. dealers and auction houses) to register important events of an artwork, which serve as immutable, long-lasting documentation for the artwork. Partners provide artwork owners with anonymous private keys, allowing them to identify as the owner without storing their identity in the Registry.

We ensure the integrity of the data with progressive cryptography and blockchain integration. Our goal is to bring the benefits of public-key cryptography and blockchain technology to the art market. We want to make these technologies more approachable and easy to use in order to increase confidence in both buyers and sellers of art.

We are looking for a full-stack engineer focusing on cryptography and blockchain development.

Tech Stack: Python, Django, TypeScript, React, Docker, AWS

In the past, we (as a culture) attempted to civilize the uncivilized peoples, for we found it hard to believe that any uncivilized person would refuse the technological advances that would give them civilization.

As it turns out, there were quite many people who actually did not prefer modern civilization and especially the forced nature of it, and we now look back on those attempts as hallmarks of an embarrassingly racist era.

History suggests that we should be cautious of assuming that others share the same values we do, especially if we have never experienced the world in the same way as the other person. One thing you can't do with 100% hearing restored, for example, is enjoy true silence.

I think hyperinflation is best understood as a forex phenomenon: since you can't print foreign currency, if your economy is importing much more value than it exports (including FDI!), then the value of the local currency declines relative to the rest of the world and you end up with hard currency shortages and people handing over increasingly large bundles of notes to pay for hard currency.

Normally the commodities which cause this problem because they have to be imported no matter what the price are the global staples: oil, food, pharmaceuticals.

So you'd have to ask exactly how the US could get into this state. It exports all three of those staples. It's a major inward investment destination. It's the owner of the dollar, widely recognised everywhere else as "hard currency". It would take extraordinary mismanagement to lose those advantages.

Venezuela's dire situation is mostly because its oil industry has been chronically mismanaged and production has collapsed. One consequence of this is that oil is being imported (bought at global prices in dollars) and sold at local pre-collapse subsidised prices (in worthless Bolivars).

Similarly Zimbabwe's collapse was mismanaged "land reform" expropriation of profitable agriculture, and Weimar Germany was ruined by the need to export gold to France for reparations.
