Should I start following up your comments with "How much do you actually know about ${DISCUSSION_TOPIC}, Thomas?"

Seriously, can you please stop with the snippy responses? This is a place for discussion not credentialing. When you make condescending comments like this it just makes this place personally confrontational, it does not progress a discussion. Please try your hardest in refraining from making such comments in the future.

Maybe geographically, but it's not in the EU and nobody in/from Europe or the Ukraine would ever say it's in Europe. Just like Russia is also geographically (at least in part) in Europe, but it's by no means European.

Agree. And, not trying to make a value judgement on women working, but the huge increase in labor supply that came with the mainstream entry of women into the workforce certainly has kept downward pressure on wages. And following that, the exodus of manufacturing from the USA further increased competition among workers for jobs, leading them to accept lower wages or longer hours.

I love Lisp->crosswords idea.

SICP [2nd edition] is flat out just a more readable book than HtDP [first print edition, second edition is not in print but looks to be significantly improved].

As textbooks, it may be a bit of a different story, the tone of SICP is certainly cockier. There's less acknowledgement that mathematics is just domain knowledge within the context of an introductory "computer science" course. Then again, HtDP had two decades of experience with SICP upon which to draw. It also has the practical advantage of assuming that students had high levels of access to computers capable of running Lisp. That wasn't the case in the late 1970's and early 80's (or even the late 80's and mid 90's).
I'm not sure what you have in mind. Not everyone has to be an exchange. But everyone can. All you need is ability to take and give bitcoins and traditional currency and bit of honesty and trust. Traders can deal with many such exchanges keeping them in sync by arbitrage and doing the usual trades.

On the go: a Samsung Chromebook 550, so the old version of the $250 model. I use this to SSH into my development server, which consists of a series two Raspberry Pi.

I've had several jobs, including my current one, where I worked 4 days a week. I take every single Friday off, and I don't work extra hours the other days.

I think that whatever it takes to make a high salary is also what it takes to negotiate this sort of situation. If you're valuable enough to the employer, they'll be willing to make a deal, whether it be for more salary or fewer hours.
From the article, it sounded like the improvement was more around better retention of photo electrons, rather than enhanced efficiency. That would mean potentially longer useful exposure times due to deeper wells.

Full job description and to apply: http://jobvite.com/m?3eJgTfwQ

Come work with me on the next evolution of the Zappos mobile web experience. Full time position on site in Las Vegas, NV (a city that offers so much more than the strip!) with benefits, excellent equipment and a great work environment.
>However, during that time, there has been a large shift of two-parent (where both parents worked) to single-parent households.

I wouldn't categorize this shift[1] as "large" and given the relative sizes of the groups of households I don't believe it can be having the affect you suggest.

So, you mean that if US drug companies made more money abroad, they would decide to make less money than they possibly can in the US? By the way, aren't there many people here that say it's the legal duty of the directors of a company to do everything they can to maximize shareholders' value? Wouldn't THAT (make less money than legally possible in the US) be a violation of that supposed duty?
You are right, 'homework' makes it sound needlessly disparaging. 'Class project' would have been better.
This tallies with my experience in London. In fact, at Google, where after questioning their salary scaling vs competition, we were told that financial companies where NOT included in calculations. "WTF" or words to that effect were our general response.

Apparently this was eventually fixed, but not before about 80% of my ex-colleagues (I left for the Bay Area) ended up in... financial companies. Go figure. If you want the talent - put up the cash.
While I am still a student, I would love to give some feedback. I've found that when using your quiz feature, and you have to type the word or definition, you have to spell it correctly. I have found this as a huge problem when working with foreign languages, because I may not be used to spelling, so it count is wrong. If there is a way to implement some auto correct or spell check with words in the set, I would love that.
Geographically yes, but politically and culturally the line gets a little blurry. I think parent meant to say "I am from the European Union".
I don't think the OP is negative. And I also think waste time doing this when you can, ofc, do one image with a table and zillions of colored cells. To me, the time and pain isn't worth the application.

OP is right: you can do this effortlessly with SVG, and it will probably be more semantic than this, wich, ofc has glitches between devices and isn't fully supported on all cases. SVG has more support than CSS3 and this only shows a bored developer using CSS.

I opined the same days ago with a MB Pro made entirely in CSS. It's quite ok but I think we can put effort on SVG instead of CSS to do the right things.

Don't take this as an offense.

> So, you mean that if US drug companies made more money abroad, they would decide to make less money than they possibly can in the US?

No, I didn't mean anything like that. I have no idea how you got that out of what I said.

> By the way, aren't there many people here that say it's the legal duty of the directors of a company to do everything they can to maximize shareholders' value?

Yes, and it is.

> Wouldn't THAT (make less money than legally possible in the US) be a violation of that supposed duty?

Yes, but it's not happening, so I don't see your point.
Yeah, that also struck me as very odd.

Assuming all the other claims are true, my best explanation is that this guy's research is coming out of left field, and so he is not very familiar with how the industry works, and so he can't be certain of anything when it comes to how his research will be used.
IMHO ignorant is what you are if you don't know about the risks and benefits of a certain drug, and a moron is what you are if you take that drug anyway. But I'll accept that I may be less charitable than most in this area. (Though then again if eating random stuff that could potentially kill you without knowing what it does doesn't make one dumb, then what exactly does?)

Now granted none of us would be here if our ancestors weren't willing to eat random crap in the woods and risk dying, and there's certainly a need for us to do the same to benefit future generations, but if the work has already been done for you on a given substance then there's really no excuse not to do the research.
Practically every CMOS and CCD camera today has an infrared filter window since the sensors are particularly sensitive in infrared. Homemade night-vision cameras usually involve removing that filter.

What does it take to make 200k base as a software engineer? These numbers just don't seem to jive with what I've read else where -- according to glassdoor, for instance, last year the base salary at the top companies in the valley was around 110-120k. So, how is it that so many people are pulling down 200k, 300k base? Apparently I've been doing it wrong...

I have a feeling the founder doesn't completely understand the "Lego market". Mainly selling sets for retail and missing parts replacement.

"Q: Can I buy the set if my kid wants to keep it?

A: Yes. if your child loves the set and want to keep it, you can easily purchase it in your My Account page. You will be charged the retail price of the set and will get the next set in your queue."[1]

One of the sets available is "Green Grocer" set number: 10185-1. If you head over to Brickpicker the current used value is $544.75. The U.S. retail price was $149.99, if Pleygo charges the retail price these sets yield a huge profit.

A friend that buys/sells used Lego bought a Green Grocer for $150 from a family and it was sold on ebay for ~$500, so the price on Brickpicker is relatively accurate.

---

"Q: What happens if my kid loses a piece?
A: No worries - we understand that pieces can get lost during play. Our plans include a guarantee so that you will not be charged if normal loss occurs."[1]

I don't know what constitutes "a normal loss" but this could be very costly for Pleygo.

There are certain parts that are set specific and cannot be ordered from Lego (many licensed products Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc). You can buy these pieces on the used market but are very expensive.

The biggest loss would be MiniFigures (the Lego people); there is a huge market for figures and their accessories. Especially for those that come with large sets as there is no other method to acquire them.

The only way to remedy (other than not shipping figures) would be to charge market price for replacement. I think it would be difficult for the company to justify to regular customers that the "Lego guy" they lost would cost $20-$40 to replace. Though for a collector, even paying $10 with free shipping would be great.

I think the idea is great but have a feeling over time will be overrun with collectors looking to replace pieces and buy discontinued sets for original retail.

You know, I am also a "web developer turned into native" and what you say is very very strange.
By using native components provided by SDK you can run circles around any webtech based approach. Yes deployment can be significantly delayed in some cases, but for prototyping id does not matter.
Alas, "if the only tool you have is a hammer" folks keep searching for the reasons why web tech is better for apps. Sorry guys, it is not. It was created for the different purpose, how hard is that to get?
Yes you can make a point if cross platform is concerned, but in reality doing cross platform is neither simple nor easy.
And if you think that HTML5 has a rich set of resources, check out that SDK offer.
Sounds interesting although I suspect it's the fact that the sensor uses graphene that makes this a news item.

I wonder how fast a sensor like this would be. If it's so sensitive I'm guessing that you can build a super-fast camera, which is something engineers are always looking for. For our high-speed applications in the microsecond exposure time it's hard to get enough light and fast enough shuttering. Even if this thing isn't going to replace CMOS and CCD it could be interesting for high speed metrology.

They are apples and apples from the client's perspective though and as an independent consultant it's quite possible to consistently achieve 100% utilization.
The web has been around for over two decades. In less than two decades since the Altair 8800, we were programming on NeXTSTEP / OpenStep, Mac OS, and Window 95. There is no current IDE for the web or web standard that can do what we did in 1995 much less 2013. That's why developers are using iOS / Android native apps. Open doesn't matter if I cannot ship what I want and get the user experience I want. It is actually easier to hit all the mobile platforms than do a web app of equivalent functionality. Add to that all the capabilities native apps have over web apps (hey look, sensors) and you get the desire. This doesn't even count the assurances graphic designers have going native.

Perhaps, it really is time to look at something past the web for app development and let the [edit] web [edit] go back to displaying documents.
Uhm what? If you are law person you deal with law, if you are medicine person you deal with diseases.

Etymology of Intel codenames for integrated circuit projects
I've been through this a few times now, and for me it's definitely the money. San Francisco cost of living is out-fucking-rageous. Sure you can find cheaper housing outside of the city, but now you've got a long commute to deal with. Recent college grads are willing to deal with it because they don't know any better, because they think working in the valley is cool, and because they have the flexibility of being young and single.

The problem is that recent grads don't have the experience most of you are looking for. The people with the experience are quite often married and have two careers to think about when making a move. If you're asking me to risk the move on my own, that's one thing. If you're asking me to beg my wife to halt all progress in her career, that's another. And now you're telling me that you're not willing to pay me enough to live relatively close to work and still have the same cash flow? No thanks!

Edit:

As an aside, a lot of startups try to justify the drop in cash flow with equity. Please... stop doing this. I don't mean to say that you shouldn't offer equity, you absolutely should. However I'm already telling you that I'm risk averse. Or, put differently, I'm telling you that I need compensation that's stable and easy to value. Your equity is nice, and I definitely want it, but it's the opposite of what I'm asking you for.
Perhaps the glassdoor data is poor. Perhaps people are choosing their total compensation rather than base salary.

Probably both.

"infrared" is actually an extremely large portion of the spectrum when viewed on a proper log scale. It's a poor label because it often leads to this confusion.

400nm to 700nm is 'visible light', a factor of 1.75x, infrared is 700nm to 1mm, a factor of 1428x.

Only a small portion of this is significant for thermal infrared applications, which at room temperatures are about 8um-15um.

Near infrared, up to about 1500nm, acts pretty much like light we can't see, and can be detected well on the same CCD/CMOS sensors (which need filters to block it out).
You're right - I should make it clearer for companies that wish to be included in the listings. I saw your company listed in your profile - I'll work on adding it. Thanks for the feedback!

San Mateo (Bay Area), California - REMOTE, H1B

Coupa Software - Procurement and Spend Management for business, in the cloud.

Looking for

- Ruby on Rails developers
- JavaScript developers
- front-end developers with or without additional design skills
- iOS developers

Our product is built on Rails, and helps businesses save money, and all of their people who do purchasing and expenses to have much more efficient and enjoyable jobs. Our customers love our product, because we work extremely hard on to improve and protect the user experience, design, and overall coherence of the product.

Current goals and challenges include building new features, improving our automated testing, and maintaining a solid foundation for the product. Your workload in a given month might include bugs, a feature or two to build by yourself or with a few others, improving our technology stack, or implementing your own ideas to improve the product. We like people who are full stack, and like learning about all areas of the product.

I am a full-stack dev, so I do everything from tuning database queries to Rails to JavaScript to visual design on my features, its pretty damn rewarding and interesting.

Working on the product development team is pretty great. I enjoy working and spending time with everyone on the team, and we have smart people from lots of different backgrounds and locations. We have a neat office space in downtown San Mateo that is open and perfect for a team of programmers (we keep the noise down when we're working). We are two blocks from the San Mateo CalTrain station, we have plenty of room for bikes, and free parking passes if you want to drive.

We have had remote developers for a long time, across the country and world. We also allow for working from home as needed for local people (or wherever else you are productive), and tend to strongly encourage people to go home and rest if they look tired or don't feel well.

We offer good pay, great health / dental / vision insurance, unlimited vacation, extremely flexible hours (pretty much be in by 11am if you are local). We have "field trip" lunches on Wednesdays to get the team together and relax, and other days we might walk to the park or somewhere downtown for lunch.

Please email a quick intro and your resume, website, or github to * brianfarr@gmail.com * if you are interested or have any questions.

If you seem like a good possibility, your resume will be seen by my manager and the team this Monday. If not, I will try my best to point you to someplace you are a good fit, or connect you with recruiters I know. Also, if you are new or looking to move to the SF Bay Area and want to talk to someone who did it last year, from the midwest, send me an email too.
I am never in full agreement with Julian Assange, but Google has in recent years, shown their disapproval of privacy. Eric Schmidt's 'if you have nothing to hide' ideal expresses quite clearly - to me - the fundamental problem in his - and by extension, Google's - view on data and users.

But I must confess, that Julian Assange seem to be rather well spoken. And language wise - at least - it was a rather joy to read. Seemingly unlike the book he was reviewing.
