SEEKING WORK - Remote

UI/UX designer and developer from Iceland looking to work on great projects where I can be a powerful asset in scaling a business.

Portfolio at: https://gilli.is

Over eight years of experience of working in Fin-tech, Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more.

I can provide the following for you:

- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of you product, I can design it.

- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product, this is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the end result since there is less wasted effort.

- Analysis — Your users know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability and experience analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.

- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go, for free.

I take my work very serious and put a lot of work into good communication, good planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

I guess we're pretty lax about it and not really following the rules. Almost always people do not respect the rules of the stand-up, and it becomes the status report meeting.

If you're doing it correctly, it should definitely not run over 15 minutes. Other groups that I've observed are having 30-minute standup meetings with 15 or 20 people and they're dominated by two or three people with lots to say.

That's not what it's for. I like your approach better than ours.
I just recently went down a nostalgia rabbit hole when the last of RockPaperShotgun's founders writers left the site. The writing on that site was always far and above any other gaming site, so it's a little bittersweet to read about its history at the end of an era: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tag/the-secret-history-of-r...

In one of those articles, they talk about Gabe and Valve employees giving encouraging words (and opportunities that no other indie site got), which also includes this interview with Gabe right before The Orange Box released: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2007/11/21/rps-exclusive-ga...

Valve has had a lot of issues since then. Steam went through horrible growing pains. Steam support is awful. Valve hasn't released a game in years. But, they are where they are because they had passion, and a cavalier DIY sensibility.

Whatever Epic is doing, I want no part of. Every press release I've seen from them since opening their store has given me the willies. Gamers can get really passionate about this stuff, but for me it just boils down to my gut reaction. Epic and any company that signs exclusivity deals with them do not get my money. And I bought Rocket League on three different platforms.
You might be joking, but higher altitude also means less oxygen, which translates to reduced oxidation and less risk of cancer.

I'm on my cellphone so I don't have the paper on hand, but there was a big study where they compared lung cancer rates in different geographic areas and found that the highest cancer incidence was at sea level, whereas the lowest was at higher elevations. They tried controlling for other obvious variables but elevation was unquestionably the best explanation.

Oxidation may explain plaque in arteries.
Affirmative action on one side, cheaters on the other. At least a dozen people cheated on the SAT in my school and had the audacity to brag about it.

Financial aid if you poor, paid for if you rich. Middle class honest kids hurt the most. Had top 1% scores, no ivies or UCLA for me (got UCB at least) and I’m Asian. My little cousin, same scores and rejected from UCSC 10 years later...much worse now than before
"Added the privacy preserving Ad Click Attribution API as an experimental feature"

What is this?
This isn't correct, at least not in the country my VPN is in [0]. What is interesting though is that the price is higher than it's been for a while: [1]. Possible skimming of consumers who won't move to Epic if they do pull it, perhaps?

So you get one free murder? No, the deterrent had to be there beforehand, so that our hypothetical killer who is certain she only wants to kill one person will be exposed to that deterrence. Even if she is not thereby deterred, the fact that the punishment is applied to her will have a deterrent effect on others contemplating a similar crime. Therefore the punishment has value even if there is no need to prevent the murderer from killing again. (Edit: you did point out that the omniscience allows you to know that there will actually be no deterrent effect but that's asking a lot :)
Can someone repost this with normal quotes? On my phone
They're using multiple names to refer to this feature. It's also known as "Link Click Analytics" or <a ping>.

> The goal of link click analytics is to report to a web server that a navigational link click happened and that the user is leaving the webpage. Such auditing can be used for first-party web analytics as well as third-party cross-site tracking. The latter is where ITP comes in.

In steeply appreciating markets, those people didn't tie up a million dollars. Just five or so years ago, a million dollar house sold for $500,000 (in some markets).
Your link says the "protests" were triggered by the NYT. It is not surprising they would cover the continuation of their own story:

> "The backlash was prompted by an article in The New York Times last week"

And I don't see a single sign in that story (actually I glimpsed one blurry one in the video), which is for the best because those signs make it difficult to take them seriously.

Sorry I left for a few minutes. I don’t agree with Kay Cole James on any issue socially. My read on the situation though is that, by not recommending a viable alternative. I read that as Googlers saying they are not open to have conservative viewpoints on the council, hence them disbanding. That forcible suppression of an opposition viewpoint instead of coming to the table together to debate differences when crafting policy, I see as having elements of Fascism.
It's barely 5 megabytes.. and it's probably not connecting to anything.

The protections for pre-installed apps help to make sure nothing else tampers with them, e.g. injecting some malware, but I'm sure you can remove those protections and reclaim the 5 MB if you really wanted to.

A friend of mine was working on software for large building contractors that would assist with this, with the goals being to get the right contractors to the right project at the right time. Turns out the complexity is pretty daunting due to the difficulty of estimating when a job will be complete, unforeseen additional work, contractors working with an existing backlog of clients and interdependencies between teams.

All in all it reminded me of exactly shy its so hard to get a specific date when a piece of software will launch!

I have an Oryx Pro and I'm really happy with it.

The build quality is not MBP standards, but support has been great (replaced a keyboard no questions asked when a key failed, helped me debug some updates that I screwed up) and the price premium is higher than total DIY, but certainly nothing in the range of say, Apple hardware.

PopOS is pretty nifty and I like it more than stock Ubuntu. I also like the amount of work they are doing to advance the Linux ecosystem hardware wise, software wise, and evangelism wise.

I could quibble about some of the laptop tradeoffs (heavy AF and pretty awful battery life and fan noise) but I knew those going in, and decided they were worth it for a dev machine that mostly lives plugged in on my desk.
Surely there's some sort of "autopilot does not work on all roads" disclaimer, right? That's why you're supposed to keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention.
Can anyone shed light on the “Privacy Preserving Ad Click Attribution” feature?

A quick glance at the changelog in Trac(!) and the commit on bugzilla(!) I just see changes to tests.
Perhaps by national governments preventing local governments from artificially restricting the supply of housing? Local governments will always want those restrictions because their local homeowner voters will want it.
You have 25 repositories and I can't figure out what a single one is besides a personal site with lots of binary commits spaced out over a number of days. Care to expand on their purposes?

"Google employees protesting the makeup of the AI Ethics council is disgraceful"
That was a joke targeting the tradition of the rich and powerful using said riches and power to get in, but at least it was obvious and in the public eye - it doesn't take a huge amount of deductive reasoning to see the connection between the new "Mark McMarksFace" Building and little jimmy mcmarksface gets into school). Similarly seeing friends and family of the school board getting in shouldn't be shocking.

They might as well protest human nature while they are at it.
What these folks did was to bribe the employees of the university, as opposed to the university itself.
Hi Jude,

On your page you said "If an extremely niche topic is valuable to just a handful of people and positively contributes to society, it will have a home on Golden."

Who will make that judgement call of what "contributes to society", and who will be paying their salary?

You also said "We believe this advanced query tool is extremely useful for investment funds, large consultancies and large companies, so please get in touch if you want to experience one of the best query tools out there."

That sounds great but its a far cry from "human knowledge". There wasn't much about advanced query tools for academics, nonprofits, activists, or government employees.

Sorry to be so cynical but one can only hear so much of "making the world a better place", to quote Silicon Valley.
That's why you change one thing at a time.

I wish there was more negative backlash when Google retaliated against James Damore

The privilege to speak up against the status quo is important. Especially when you have less power, and even if your opinion is unsavory to some
> If the Tesla had a proximity sensor that slammed on the breaks in the last 2-3 meters, would he have survived? I ask because it's a common luxury car feature and would be easy for Tesla to implement.

My car (a Nissan) has this feature, and it comes with a warning that it works best with obstacles that are moving. (ie. other cars)

Although it does work with stationary objects, it warns that if you're moving over ~35mph, it may not detect stationary obstacles, as it has trouble differentiating between them and objects on the side of the road.
I agree that in a hypothetical scenario that this wasn't, it could have been a catastrophe. But in the one that actually existed, it couldn't have been.
> The guarantee you can withdraw funds from a bank account does exist, it’s the FDIC.

Like I said, I'm being pedantic. The FDIC doesn't give you a guarantee that you can withdraw any money from a bank account. It offers you insurance on the amount - up to 250,000$ - in the event of bank failure.

> Tethers terms of service specifically state you’re buying funbucks / chuck-e-cheese tokens and they have no redemption value. A unit of value in your bank account represents a claim you have against the assets held in the bank backed by the weight of the US government.

While I think the characterization of Tether as "Chuck-E-Cheese tokens" is fair, a claim beyond 250,000$ against a bankrupt bank may well be worth 0$, despite the (considerable!) "weight of the US government". In that event, I would probably prefer to have the Chuck-E-Cheese tokens instead.

> A Tether is worth whatever you can get the next guy to buy your bags for representing no obligations on anyone.

While there may be no legal obligation for Tether to exchange its tokens for actual dollars, there still is a reputational obligation to do so, if we're assuming that Tether is intended to run as a legitimate business (which is admittedly a big assumption). In that sense it's somewhat comparable to PayPal.
> There is no hook or wrong doing in giving a building.

It's not giving if you're expecting a quid-pro-quo. The word you're looking for is 'bribe'.
Yep. Only Android phones worth buying are Google/OnePlus because they don't pull that crap.
Computer Science - as in the fundamentals and mathematics behind computation do not change frequently at all. Graph theory never really goes out of style, and the biggest changes have been with respect to distributed computing and conflict resolution.

The thing that scares me the most is the confusion of software frameworks and platforms with "CS" and fundamentals. Its as if people believe there aren't any fundamentals at all.
And maybe only put $25,000 down....
More "you're allowed to look at the source" than "open source" though.
You still get the wondrous private institution problem of hereditary entry (which is a great example of something that isn't explicitly racist still resulting in a fundamentally and uncorrectable racist result)
Years of writing camelCase code have taken their toll. At least they have for me.

Either that or there is some (justifiable) brand confusion, as there are brands/companies spelled like that: "iPhone", "eBay", "FedEx", "DreamWorks", "HarperCollins", etc.
There’s a difference between commanding tens of millions per on the open market and doing illegal things because you want to get around some limits. As I understand it Nissan paid him a handsome amount, he agreed to it, but apparently not enough so he set up subsidiaries in Europe and used those to buy personal properties. In the end he allegedly was reporting only half of the income he earned-only the above board income.

It’s an altogether different discussion whether someone should be remunerated so generously.
This is a totally broken framework, because while a few things are clearly "innate" (eg skin color), mostly it will just end up functioning as a cover for politicization. For example even if we agree that gay desires are an innate quality, men who have sex with men are still choosing to do that behavior. So then is it okay to discriminate if it is framed in terms of the latter?

This is a direct implication of what you have said. And many of the things you've declared as "innate" aren't even obviously such, so at best we end up with a politicization/corruption of science trying to claim theories as indisputable facts. Couching an argument in progressive-sounding terms may make it sound like a good idea, when it is actually a naive setup for the pendulum to swing hard the other way.

The general principle is live and let live. The whole "protected classes" thing was really just an imperfect approach to pushing back against the glaring worst of identity politics that was causing ongoing direct harm, because the general principle is impossible to codify just like Free speech itself.

But please Mastercard and shareholders, go ahead and cut off your own leg. The more demand created for Free payments, the better.
they do have that, but as you might imagine, the emergency brakes are only there to mitigate damage in case of a crash, not to prevent them

> There is value in Steam having competition, but that value diminishes as soon as someone comes along and competes for games instead of users.

Content platforms always compete on availability of content. Steam did the exact same thing early on with Half Life. Look at what's happening in the streaming video space. Look at console gaming.

Ultimately, people aren't making Steam accounts because of the Steam workshop or Steam forums or Steam chat or what have you—they're making Steam accounts because there's a game on Steam that they want to play.

If Epic's store had better features but the same games, existing Steam users would still continue to use Steam, because that's where their existing game libraries are. The only way Epic could compete on features alone is if it were possible to migrate Steam purchases to the Epic Store. Since Valve will never let that happen, Epic has to entice users with exclusive games.

And that could be great for everyone—if it caused games to be made that would otherwise never get developed. Consider how much great content the video streaming wars have produced. As annoying as it is to switch between subscriptions, I'd say TV viewers are winning right now.

The problem, of course, is that Epic isn't developing original content—they're paying for existing content to be removed from Steam. My great hope is that this will change in time. Original games take several years to develop, so if any are under way, we wouldn't have heard about them yet. In the meantime, we're getting PC ports of Journey and Detroit, so that's pretty neat!

What about poetry, art, music, social movements, and, you know, culture?
(Nitpick: those impactors are also meteorites, just big ones; the numbers in the paper I linked numbers are based on probabilities over time of an impactor large enough to get through shielding.)

Giant impacts are relatively rare - in the ~13 years of NASA's monitoring program, the largest impactor seen on the Earth-facing hemisphere of the moon left a 15m (inner diameter) crater [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1404.6458.pdf], and most have been orders of magnitude smaller.

Remember - the Moon has no active tectonics, no atmospheric weathering, and no water or other liquid evaporation/condensation cycle. The craters you see are an aggregate over billions of years, including some periods of much higher levels of random debris than currently (e.g. the Late Heavy Bombardment, which left most of the truly stupendous craters). In any given human lifetime spent on the Moon, you're unlikely to even be within visible distance of an impactor that can go through 2m of regolith.
I'm not a pilot, but I have had flying lessons. Airplane autopilots are extremely simple. They can basically fly you in a straight line, at a fixed altitude. Tesla's autopilot is actually way more advanced than those found in airplanes.

The US still has a huge Navy compared to China, and far more allies in the region than China does.

This might well change if China takes back Taiwan. If that happens, China could engineer a situation where it's better for the local powers to cozy up to China, than to take the side of the distant US. Even though the US, as a distant hegemon, is the better option, the US might not have the power to keep China at bay any more, so the lesser of the two evils for everyone could be seen to give in.

If I were in the Defense Department, I would be creating SOSUS-like arrays near Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines, plus an R&D program to create a swarm of super quiet autonomous midget submarines to go along with it. Basically, take unprecedented steps to make it tremendously dangerous to invade Taiwan, even if China has air superiority. (I very much doubt we'd be able to prevent China from getting that in the long term, even temporarily.)
