CTcue | Angular / NodeJS / Typescript / Postgresql / Elasticsearch | Amsterdam | Fulltime | €60k | ONSITE | https://ctcue.com/jobs/full-stack-developer

CTcue builds a search application that makes medical data useful for hospitals. We transform structured and unstructured medical data (notes, referral letters, observations) into a single generic data-model for our search application. This allows our users to find the data they need which we hope will improve patient care.

The search application is currently used on a daily basis in 20+ hospitals of The Netherlands and Belgium. We intend to grow even more!

Do you want to work for a startup that is innovating the healthcare industry? We're looking for great people in Amsterdam. Email jochem@ctcue.com for a chat.
I think this promotes an extremely healthy environment for personal growth and development. I wonder how this would scale to companies that have higher operational burdens or more customer facing software?

As a side note, this is exactly something I would very much appreciate from an employer.

Why do we need a large number of small districts? It seems like a relic from an obsolete philosophy that people from a geographically separate areas need a different representation. But that is not how reality works. People want representation based on their class status, not geography. We have local governments to deal with local issues and it is silly to also divide federal representation based on geography.

Alternatively I propose the state being a single district, with representatives directly partitioned based on the proportion of vote they get in the state. So if a state gets 10 representatives in congress, and a party gets 10% of the votes in that state. That party will get 1 representative in congress.

---

Edit: And before this starts being called unrealistic, I believe all we would need is a constitutional amendment (even just in state constitutions) that states that every vote should count the same.

I have two requests in this regard.

- If there's some way to learn playing chess beyond just the rules without memorizing an encyclopedia of openings, I'd be grateful for links. I.e. I currently can stare at a position for a while and figure out a couple next moves that should be good. I'd like to elevate this to figuring out a bit more moves. (Though I have a suspicion that it's a question of ‘rinse and repeat until I remember all the openings anyway’.)

- Similarly, I'd like to drill music lingo of chord progressions and stuff, as a total noob, without turning it into a ‘compose by the book’ approach. I'm actually somewhat afraid to learn about keys and scales since I'll likely start hearing them everywhere and promptly fall into patterns and academic ivory-towerity. Is there a way around that while still understanding music talk?
Same here. Ha!

'Incremental' implies you are getting closer to a better solution, but you are not. FPP is simply not created for proportional representation of voters' preferences. It has it's own advantages to be fair, but it's not about that. Any district shapes will favor some party, and square-ish is not better in this regard then a salamander-like.
The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) @ Naval Medical Center San Diego | Data Scientist/Software Engineer/Program Manager | San Diego | REMOTE, ONSITE, US Citizen | Full-time

We are teaching machines to diagnose cancer in a collaborative research and development environment. You will be a direct report to the project lead, developing a broad codebase (NLP, NNs, bioinformatics, digital archaeology). Typical candidates that make it past the first interview have a technical PhD or hard STEM masters. Linear algebra is a prerequisite. At least 3-4 years writing code strongly recommended.

Collaborators include commercial, DoD, and other government entities. Project is based in San Diego but designed to accommodate remote work from the ground up.

Culturally, you will be expected to reduce highly ambiguous problems for yourself and others, including asking for help, often in domains you haven’t dealt with before, e.g. clinical trials, legally binding privacy requirements, and highly invasive security and compliance. Finally, this is a small group inside a huge organization. Long term, global, strategic thinking, excellent teamwork, and exemplary personal conduct are essential.

On-site locations are teaching hospitals. You will ride the elevator with the patients you’re trying to help: active duty military, veterans, and their families.

After reading the article I had a brief hypothesis that higher estrogen levels would also be associated with non-heterosexuality. This study seems to strongly concur: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29159906/

> In the group with ASD, 69.7% of the sample reported being non-heterosexual, while in the TD group, 30.3% reported being non-heterosexual. The group with ASD reported higher rates of homosexuality, bisexuality and asexuality, but lower rates of heterosexuality

Found the original article if you're interested: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/06/28/why-are-transgender-pe...

I'm not saying I necessarily believe it, but it's one of the most interesting articles I've read recently.
No problems. What made me think of it wasn't so much trying to avoid paying for the service, but because I'd want to run a cache for speed of the initial page load. If you are serving your images from a CDN that would be compatible with my goal to keep the site fast.

I don't think anyone would "could comb through the content and replace the image URLs" to save a few dollars, as the development effort would far outweigh the cost savings. So maybe you are OK there.
But is "$computer_game_mod survivor" a probable phrase? I would agree for "ed", and I'm sure Google would give a more diverse range of results for that. Erectile dysfunction is a perfectly plausible result there.

But "ED survivor" is with very high probability not about that mod or erectile problems.

Not to speak of obvious spam sites, like DDG presented.
> A Maryland judge was ousted from office for shocking a defendant who did not stop talking when asked, leaving the man hollering on the ground in pain while the court took a recess.

The video of the shock is linked in the article. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYfzrof2g4o

It's much more jarring that just reading the description of the event. How can we organize our society to ensure these events are never incentivized to happen?
The bottom of the page is a little weird.
"Byzantine" is not Russian Liturgical Music.

Also, Georgian Polyphony did not involve strings as a general rule. There were regional exceptions, but early Slavic polyphony was generally a capella.

Here's a good example of Gerogian polyphony: https://v-s.mobi/elia-lrdei-princeton-georgian-choirs-fall-2...

Sorry to nitpick, but I hate to see a fascinating corner of music ignored. Happy Listening!
Article 1 of the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment:

"Torture means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions."

Can anyone, devil's advocate or otherwise, argue that the use of these belts does not constitute torture under international law?

If you like tmux, you should try the tmux integration feature in iTerm. It makes tmux windows native windows, and tmux panes native panes.
I moved away from MacOS on my desktop/workstation to Linux and one of the things I've missed actually was iTerm2. Really great terminal altogether. However, I found a great replacement, even better in some ways - Kitty!

Question for people that are anti facial recognition. What methods of identifying people are you ok with? Are you ok with the police/news asking other people to help identify someone? To me that sounds like facial recognition with extra steps?

The arguments against facial recognition like that there can be false positives, or that can affect some groups more than others, doesn't that also apply when people are identifying people? If so isn't the real solution to require more evidence than just a facial match, not to ban an effective way of narrowing a suspect pool. That way police can spend less time manually identifying people and more time getting other evidence.

It's the right way to think about the structures, sure. But when you want to look up the laws for what makes something a Ring, for instance, having them all in 1 place instead of having to jump between: Monoid, Semigroup, Group, Abelian Group, Quasiring, Nearring, and Ring. (And some of those laws occur twice, for different operators) makes it a lot more useful as a reference document.

It's tough for Turkey I bet. Water is one of the worlds most important assets, and Turkey should ensure their water supply for the future droughts that are coming, but destroying such history rich area is tough.
This is a somewhat common sentiment, probably because it's cynical enough to conform with people's prior conceptions. But I doubt it is actually true.

Consider, for example, the various congressional investigations of Hilary Clinton in 2014/2015. If everybody was guilty of some crime(s) punishable by jail time, it would follow that some of those overly brought criminal statues would have come up in those proceedings, considering there were any number of high-powered lawyers tasked with finding anything against her that would stick.

(The Clinton example may be imperfect because of partisanship, but I can't currently think of any other widely-known case where prosecutors were trying to "throw the book" at someone. I'm specifically not focussing on the main issues of those investigations, because those could never apply to the average person, so resist the urge to argue e-mail servers.)

Hey HN!

Bidbar is a Mac app that allows you to save bash commands in the menu bar and run/copy them with keyboard shortcuts. I've always found it tedious to type out/memorize long and difficult Terminal commands. Although you can save these as bash aliases, it takes some time and is sometimes bothersome to do. As a result, I created Bidbar, which allows you to save and run commands with a click of a button!

Please let me know any feedback or suggestions you have!
How likely is it actually that out of the set of 116 people who look like you from your your state (which I see as basically a random sample of 116 people, unless you have a tendency to gravitate people who look like yourself toward yourself...), one of them was in the same area as you, at the same time that a crime was committed against you there?

Which is semantics. You’re using a different meaning of the word to fit your point just like the person did in the grandfather comment. You even put the word normal in quotes yourself indicating that you understand how words can be interpreted differently. I wasn’t disagreeing with your interpretation of the term.

RaiseMe | Senior and Mid-level Full-stack Engineers | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE, Full-time | https://raise.me

RaiseMe is expanding access to higher education by reinventing how students earn scholarship dollars from colleges. Our platform allows colleges and universities to award incremental "micro-scholarships" to high school and community college students, based on academic, testing, extracurricular, and real-world experience.

We've partnered with with close to 300 colleges, and have users in 4 out of 5 high schools within the US. Many of our students earn tens-of-thousands of dollars for college. The coolest part of our platform is how it educates students about the possibility of college in the first place. Many of our users are first-generation college attendees, or minority or low-income students.

We closed our Series B in 2018, bringing our total funding to around $30M. Our investors include Salesforce Ventures, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, The Emerson Collective, Teamworthy Ventures, and First Round, among others.

Here's some awesome press coverage about us:

See the Scheme example in https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Function_composition_(computer_s.... Where, pray tell, are the type signatures? Come to think of it, where are the type signatures in the page you linked?

You'll notice that said example is fundamentally equivalent to the pseudo-Forth one I provided (except that mine doesn't take an arbitrary number of functions/procedures to be composed, though it's perfectly feasible to just call "compose" repeatedly to accomplish the same thing).
We will be selecting two ideas in 2019 to build for FREE.

Fill out the form and let us know all about your idea. We will then review your application and will reach out to schedule a call.

First, your idea must be a software business. Secondly, your business model must generate revenue through means other than advertising; we love marketplaces and SaaS business models.

We’ll be your co-founder and will take equity in the business.

Those are terrible terms.

If they made this offer for custom electronics or plastic parts or something, and they had a factory, it would make more sense. The manufacturer makes money by making the thing, so the business model is that the founder owns the design and the manufacturer bangs out parts for sale. If they were offering free tooling and an initial production run in exchange for exclusive manufacturing rights for N years, that would be an OK deal.

If public receives regular dividends then yeah, there is a risk. If the fund is used for large scale projects and as an emergency fund, then votes are harder for populists to buy.

There are fewer vested interest with a megaphone that would stand to personally lose or gain massively, so more rational discussions can be had.
Europe's solution to this is glass cages. I'm not sure that's much better on the "not treating people like dogs" scale.
Yes to Nick Lane and "The Vital Question".

However, as excellent as Laine is at explaining, after the first 100 pages or so, the book gets quite technical (necessarily so). Unless your biochemistry is reasonably good, it is suggested (by biochemists themselves[1]) to first read his other book, 'Life Ascending'[2], which lays out the ground work for the deep dive into "hydrothermal vents", a key topic in 'The Vital Question'.

[1] As shared here on HN before:

When I was reading the book on a plane, a seasoned biologist happened to be sitting next to me. When I said that it's the first book of Nick Lane that I picked up, he said: "I'd rather suggest you to pick up Laine's other book, Life Ascending, and then get back to The Vital Question."
