SEEKING TWO FREELANCERS | 1. Java, Full-stack web developer (Spring or Play Framework optional but nice to have) 2. Web InfoSec | Seattle | Remote in the US or Canada is ok (Pacific Northwest is a plus for occasional in-person meetings, but not required.)

I work for a large foundation in Seattle, WA. I'm looking to fill two contracts:

1) For an ongoing project involving Java full-stack web development for an internal tool used to collect and disseminate information within a program team. We're using PlayFramework currently but are looking to migrate to Spring. We will continue to use Java most likely.

2) For a security researcher to do an information security audit of the system described in 1 and to provide a comprehensive report of their findings.

Non-scared people buy less. That's all what number optimizers need to know.
I like the book "The Rational Optimist" by Matt Ridley which covers a broad range of topics like these.

Some observations are quite surprising, for example using coal and then oil for energy replaced huge amounts of manual labor and might have eliminated slavery, deforestation and hunting whales for whale oil.
Timeline of Iran & Democracy:

1. Overthrew the shah in the ~1940s, created a democracy

2. Because a large majority of the economy was going to the british in the form of of the anglo persian oil company, iran nationialized it's oil industry

3. This pissed off the british, who poked it's friend america to overthrow the government in Iran. The first president said no, but the next one said yes, which eventually led to the CIA's first sponsored coup and installed the shah again.

4. This pissed off a lot of people and eventually led to the 1979 revolution and the oligarchical theocracy we have today in Iran.

Today the average young civilian in Iran doesn't really like the government.
there is still an amazing amount of intrigue around exploring the edges of F1 rules. from just the past 10 years, competitive advantages include double diffusers, exhaust blown diffusers, F-duct, flexible front wings, split turbocharger, tubulent jet injection, 3D printed pistons, blown wheel nuts, microdrilled brake disc vents, Y250 vortex generators, grapefruit juice smelling fuel, MGU-H/MGU-K tricks, and plenty of stuff that we don't know about yet..
I've had a Steam account long enough to know how terrible and annoying Steam can be. I've also seen how much Steam has done for the PC gaming community over the years, and I originally hoped Epic would push them into accelerating some of their timelines. There is value in Steam having competition, but that value diminishes as soon as someone comes along and competes for games instead of users. It took Steam a long time to become both useful (Workshop, Sales, Forums), and generally good for the customer (Returns, Curation, Support), and Epic isn't even trying to compete in those areas.

Epic isn't making a marketplace where I want to spend my money by being better than Steam, they're just trying to make a place where I have to spend money if I want to play certain games. Good luck with that one.
Can anyone tame the next internet?
Uh, this case has nothing to do with administrative law. The issue (as presented in Google's petition is):

> 1. Whether copyright protection extends to a soft-ware interface.

> 2. Whether, as the jury found, petitioner’s use of a software interface in the context of creating a new computer program constitutes fair use.

In other words, is the Federal Circuit appeals court off of its rocker.
I didn't realize this was ever a trend. I'm glad it died.
Plenty of great stuff is made in the US. I’d rather we focus on making things we’re good at, rather than taking random stuff, slapping “Made in America” on it, and hoping someone is willing to pay a premium for that text.

Second product for this mythical OEM should just be a TV with an instant-on button and as many hdmi ports that will fit given a small-as-possible bezel. One model per year per common size->one price. Big sale on thanksgiving and then the slightly better ones come out.
Sure, but if you're trying to get someone new to play the game with you on Steam, you may not be able to without buying a separate copy on the Epic Games Store. (I'm hoping they at least let people transfer their Steam copy to EGS, but it's still an extra hurdle for anyone who doesn't already have/want an EGS account.)

Through Blip, businesses of all sizes buy billboard space where and when they want. Large advertisers use our network to advertise nationally. Smaller advertisers use us to buy billboard space without contracts and in small or even tiny increments (think pennies for seconds instead of kilo-dollars for months).

As we move from serving hundreds of billboards in the US and Canada to serving
thousands globally, we need developers. Our current stack
is AWS / Postgres (Heroku, Citus) / Redis / Django / Angular.
We use Typescript on the front end and a bit of Rust on the back end.

The car's on-board processor has enough logic to follow the track lines hidden under the track surface. The BTLE connection to the car is used to control speed, change lanes, and trigger lights. It also is used to 'drive' the car in some cases if needed.
In my eyes, sports reinforce/exacerbate those things.
Hooliganism, violent riots, murdering players making own goals, murdering referees doing the wrong (or right) call... I really don't think sports brings out the best in humanity. At best it's a replacement for jingoism.

Rockets don't make people punch other people in the face. Sports really do.

Yes, some are. But not the ones associated with that jackass Tommy Robinson, who is mentioned in the article. Distasteful as the EDL is, it’s a legal party that takes part in the democratic process.
It struck me as odd as well, but the article mentions near the end that it apparently does happen from time to time, which I was not aware of. I share your viewpoint, though. Not sure why the USSC would ever ask the executive branch whether or not it should hear a case. The justices are more than capable of determining if it warrants their time.

I suspect the reason for the request is that this could have a significant and unexpected downstream effect should they hear the case and end up ruling in an unforeseen manner. They could conceivably alter the copyright laws in serious ways that no one wants.

That being said, I still think they should probably never ask for guidance like this because the effect of their ruling is not their problem. They need to uphold the law. If there are unforeseen, undesirable consequences then it is the job of the legislative branch to rectify that. This is what happened with the Affordable Care Act. The USSC was given testimony that confirmed the language, meaning, and reason behind one of the key portions - the requirement that states must implement their own exchange to receive Federal subsidies for healthcare to pass along to the newly insured citizens. This became a major issue because a large number of states didn't create their own exchanges but the Obama administration still wanted to dole out the subsidies. Instead of upholding the law as written in clear language and which was confirmed by the actual writers of that section of the bill, they instead did the exact opposite and basically ruled that since ruling to uphold it as-is would essentially destroy Obamacare, they would have to allow the subsidies because that one clause would effectively destroy the entire program since the states didn't take it up as expected (but not required). What should have happened in that scenario is that the USSC should have upheld the language as written, which would have forced the legislative branch to actually change/fix the law with an amendment. But this was no longer politically possible and the court knew that, so they instead ignored the law and basically re-wrote it - which is a power they don't actually have.

that was one thing that astonished me when I visited Bangkok - the mall food courts were truly excellent. nowhere else have I eaten so many meals so happily in a food court.
Somewhere being safe is a combination of police focusing on a basic set of crimes that happen in the public and poverty.
I can think of a third reason: everybody in the industry wanted IE6 dead. It was expensive to maintain support for an old, broken browser and often meant new features couldn't be added. The people who should have fired the conspirators were glad that the conspiracy succeeded even if they had objections to the methods used.

It will be pulled from Steam. Epic made their own store recently to compete against steam and they're pushing it aggressively. They've funded new and acquired existing games to be exclusively (re)released in there. They pulled a number of existing titles off from steam, like Borderlands.
So far all they've said is they aren't going to sell it on Steam. Any suggestion you won't be able to play with your friend is just speculation.

The PC version of Rocket League will come to the Epic Games store in late 2019. In the meantime, it will continue to be available for purchase on Steam; thereafter it will continue to be supported on Steam for all existing purchasers."

Furthermore, Epic clarified that support for Rocket League on Steam will continue even after the game is released on the Epic Games Store and players "will still be able to play Rocket League on Steam with all of the content they've previously purchased, same as always."

Yup, that's still sounding a lot like Buddhist meditation to me. There, too, your mind isn't supposed to be quiescent, in fact one of the early pitfalls is "dullness", or simply shutting your brain off. You're meant to remain perfectly focused, and entirely alert. "Tenere", while probably not the way Buddhists would describe their meditative practice, isn't at all at odds with it.

I'm not an expert, but it feels to me like in both traditions the goal is to be completely present, ie all mental faculties up and running and brought to bear. Perhaps for the Christian monks there would be an added element of communication with God (but, perhaps, it was simply being in His presence?), whereas for Buddhists there isn't... I don't know.

The point of Buddhist meditation isn't to somehow beat your thoughts into submission. It's first to acknowledge them, as you say allowing them to come and go. During the course of that you realize that they are something separate and distinct from your self (further realizations about the self come later, of course). Later on, as you progress, they eventually don't intrude anymore. It's not that you've defeated them, they simply don't pop up.
> The fact that your neural system is entirely responsible for your thinking (conscious and unconscious) doesn't make your mind less fascinating.

I think you're attacking a straw man here. I agree that the mind is fascinating whether or not dualism is true. But at the same time, I think that the kind of hand-waving materialists do when faced with qualia, intentionality, and (what appears to be) objective morality is not very convincing.
I gave you multiple reasons.

Capacity factor (which means that you have to reduce the number to that factor which is betewen 20-40% of what is stated as capacity is different than actual usage)

It's only electricity produced in germany (which means you have to include electricity coming from other places than Germany)

That electricity is a subset of energy.

It's pretty simple. Your number ignores those facts to get to that numbers. If you factor those things in the number will dramatically smaller.
This isn't competition.

Competition is two stores offering incentives to users to come buy the product from them as opposed to the competitor.

This is anti-competitive and anti-consumer. If Steam were doing similar things, no one would stand for it, and I find it really odd that Epic gets a pass from some people.

As the consumer, I want to be able to choose which store I buy from based on the merits of the store and the deals offered.
So much negativity here. I like using Facebook and I am excited for the new design and to read about it has been implemented!
Von-numan machine style exploration is the major reason to fab anything in space. It doesn't even need to be the latest process or anything super special; it just needs to be reliable and operate within the power budget.

Imagine if we surveyed the asteroid belt and sent robots to likely areas to mine for resources. Then returned them on kinetic delivery trajectories that were designed to accelerate the moon's orbital velocity (tidal effects or something else are probably slowing it down slowly over time? I forget the details) and keep it balanced.

We'd probably want water, metals, and anything useful for chemical reactions sustaining life, industrial production, or high-density single use fuel. Hydrogen and Oxygen could be obtained from ice via electrolysis, which solar power could provide during the day.
They've released a public roadmap, obviously as more people are on the platform (due to the high profile launches), they're going to be putting increasing effort into improving the platform. Steam has had a long time to improve, and it's still plenty kludgey in certain areas.

I feel people often underestimate the difficulty of going against a monopoly that's been king for over a decade. Multiple avenues are the only way to succeed. I think Epic Store would be DOA without exclusives, regardless of the quality of their launcher.
This is a semantic confusion. In this context, thinking about God can be thought of as meditating into an awareness of divine consciousness

Judging from other "natives" I met, probably as much as they can(with Walmart being 1000 miles away, that would be little). I don't know if you were thinking in terms of "incriminating" veg oil in favor of butter etc, which is the trend in Atkins etc, but the takeaway message of such studies is exercise and the stress-free life, you become what you do and what you think! Eating is a part of thinking and doing, but only up to a point.

I don't think there will ever come a time when 1) savvy users will stop suggesting/recommending clean Windows installs on new computers and 2) OEM bloatware will stop being crap.

I clean-installed Win10 recently. There was no driver installation I had to do - everything works great, and there are no unidentified devices in Device Manager. Say what you will about Windows 10, but that part is really cool. Save for video cards, the pack-in drivers are often better and less hassle. Plus they auto update.
One of the many reasons I stopped buying Windows PCs and started buying Mac...

The real problem with CS is that it changes quickly and skills become obsolete. If you don't actively work to maintain current skills you are likely to end up getting turfed out in the next downturn. Even that's not a unique problem. IBM assembler programmers and blacksmiths are both pretty rare these days, for similar reasons.
Yes, I would love some competition for Steam, but the strategy Epic is using is instead anti-competitive and anti-consumer.
I'm not sure you read my comment before responding. You retain your copy of Rocket League and it's supported indefinitely on Steam. Nothing has changed for existing owners.
I'm not sure where you're located, but Dig Inn (https://www.diginn.com) started in New York and looks to be spreading in Boston and while not necessarily a $5 lunch, seems to fulfill most of your criteria. It may not offer as large a selection as traditional canteens, and is very bowl-focused (who isn't in 2019?) but I thought it a pleasant enough experience.
Response? The only time there is a response is if there is a blocker and even then, it is just a comment to speak after the meeting with the people affected.

14 seconds is a long time to answer them if you are prepared and don't dilly dally around. For goodness sake, the majority of time, someone is working on the same feature today as yesterday and has no blockers. It takes seconds to communicate.

It isn't like everyone isn't aware of all the work to be done and it isn't an appropriate forum in a cross-functional team to go into details. People do that after with the people interested.

The only time I've found people run over 5 minutes is if the person running the meeting is lax or if meeting doesn't start on time.

I guess sometimes another meeting happening after might get rolled in, but then it isn't a standup.
Wowee, it's not "my" diesel. I am in fact an EV advocate, and they're worth transitioning to even if you're powering them with coal. This is a fact that we agree on.

My point is that the grid is not getting continuously cleaner if you're dumping a bunch more load on it. The marginal increase in load will be powered by fossil fuels for a significant amount of time, which is longer than the lifetime of a Tesla built today.

You take your dirtiest power offline first (with a sane energy policy). Any extra load you add is by definition delaying that event.

EVs are an important next step, and an absolute necessity for stabilizing the grid when transitioning to intermittent renewables. I was replying to a very specific claim made by the parent comment.

Poor intra-process parallelism, yes. Python is pretty capable when it comes to concurrency.
