If you look at multiple indexes that rank countries by competitiveness, low corruption and infrastructure, Sweden and other Nordic countries are usually in top 10.

If you think countries as companies, they would be like business parks. You can compete with low price or good infrastructure. Sweden is Google of countries. It provides highly educated people, good infrastructure, safety and low corruption with higher price. This will inevitability drive out low margin industries that rely on cheap labour but it will be good environment for high- and middle-tech companies.
Preventative visits are required to be no-deductible, so I assume you only get hit with the cost if it's an irregular visit for an illness of some kind.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote OK - irc required

BSD, ZFS, OpenSSH, PAM: Distributed, Encrypted Open Source Data Sync, Share, & Storage with Bitcoin Message Signing

Project: http://electrum.org - Lightweight Bitcoin thin client, as advocated for by Satoshi Nakamoto [1]

Developed by Dr. Thomas Voegtlin, French PhD neuroscientist, Electrum
is an exceptionally simple Bitcoin wallet written in Python, that
protects you from losing your Bitcoins due to backup mistakes or computer
failure. Electrum automatically generates with each newly created wallet a
list of twelve common words from English poetry, which Thomas hand-picked
specifically to aid in memorization and long-term recall.

You must be willing to make extensive use of IRC for communication,
and you should probably at least possess a passing interest in Bitcoin,
if you want to take on this project.

I'm looking for a systems engineer who can think about problems
creatively. I've been agonizing over how to appropriately handle data
sync, share, and storage. I've considered everything from Tahoe-LAFS to
BitTorrent, from a simple Flask API to Git. I'm looking for the simplest
possible solution. If this sounds even slightly interesting please email
me at:

echo YW5keUBzaWVycmEzZC5jb20K | base64 -d

or ping me on #electrum (Freenode). I'm atweiden.

>Any questions, feel free to ask

How do you make money?
Yeah, I do web development in my 9-5, and my side projects were generally web development or software development oriented.

The shorter term idea is related to beer, and I'm a homebrewer, so that keeps it close. The longer term idea is related to a game I enjoy playing.

I won't be so much putting a solid 10-20 years into something, as I will be waiting 10-20 years for information to be distributed and produced using my software. The software itself should take less than a year of part-time development (if the ideas required succeed), and then idle maintenance/improvements over the course of the 10-20 years required to achieve the final result.

If you're more curious than my broad rambling fulfills, email me and I'm happy to provide specifics. I'm not trying to be secretive, other than I'd like to have something to show before I make any sort of "announcements".

Yes, they have been prepared for this a long time. They could have launched this strategy any time they wanted.

Can you explain a bit on what innovation means in financial industry? This is not a sarcasm or a mockery, but a serious question. I have a friend in financial industry who works for Barclays and she always complains that the regulations are getting tougher, and it's hard to innovate. With you saying that, it starts to make me wonder what kind of innovation one could possibly create in banking other than loaning out money in various forms, and insuring assets.
It means nothing of the sort. Regular consumers are absolutely locked into google by this, and as a consequence, so are developers.

The fact that a few hobbyists can back their phones does nothing to change this.
Part of the argument here for the valuation is that teens are leaving Facebook and moving over to services like SnapChat and Instagram.

Maybe I'm missing something, but do teens really have that much disposable income? Do they click on / respond to online ads?

Surely older people are a much more valuable target market? When I look at my parents, they are much more likely to be duped into buying something through clicking on ads. Most of the time my parents don't even realise they are clicking on an ad.

Sometimes I think this tech market is aiming as the wrong segments.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (Paris, France - but can travel in Europe)

Full-stack web developer with sharp marketing skills.

I can help with figuring out how to make more money out of your application (B2B SaaS apps are where I have the most experience).

By understanding who your customers are and what they're looking for, I can help create a better experience for them (examples: fixing application hot spots, adding live feedback chat at the right spot, customer satisfaction surveys, analyzing and reducing churn rate...)

Do you have poor signup rates? Low activation or retention metrics? Do you think you could make more money out of your current application?

I have 8 years of experience as a software developer (Python/Django/Javascript), and I've worked both on my own products and for other startups.

I can also help with your MVP, help you come up with the right questions, and developing the right product.

If we cannot have manned moon missions anymore and no more space shuttles then I don't want the military to have SR71 successors or their own mini-shuttle.

Our priorities are all screwed up, we need to be making science exciting for the next generation.

We'll always have plenty of warmongering to go around.

Many of you around here are too young or not from the USA to have this experience but I remember when the first shuttle was being developed and tested and how exciting that was to schoolkids (it was the Enterprise! [1]) And I was fortunate enough to have someone from NASA visit our elementary school with moon rocks and gave us space photos and other presentations that were so interesting that I remember the experience to this day.

We need that again for school kids.

I appreciate the sample text, thank you.

In it I found this advice:

'Kôdô Sawaki once said: “You are not important.”

Think about it.'

Why should a person consider himself unimportant? What actions would follow from a person who truly does not value himself or herself?
Considering how tumultuous layoffs and reorganizations are, it wouldn't surprise me if any engineering support Google needed from TI fell on deaf ears. This leaves Google in a very awkward position.

Sure that's a reason, but it's not an excuse.

Had something like this happened to for instance Microsoft or Apple, they would have footed the bill, engineered a solution, and lived up to what they promised their customers in the first place.

That's why you have a profit-margin after all: To foot the bill when (and not if) something unexpected happens and doesn't go according to plan.

Here Google is just cascading their own problems with their own sub-contractors directly on to their customers and saying, "Hey! Sorry. You're screwed. And btw we'll keep the money you paid us".

That's totally unprofessional and completely uncool.
I continue to believe you do not understand what a competent developer is. A competent developer will do what is necessary to accomplish the job they are given, in this case making an already-launched service work as quickly as possible. That may include unfortunate workarounds for security issues pending a real fix.
It's not that crazy. Most young people, most years will never spend $5,000 on health care, particularly when preventative services are free. So if you're responsible enough and financially capable to save for a rainy day, it makes sense to pay less out of pocket every month. Those savings may still be tax-deductible; I'm not sure how ACA changed HSA availability in that regard.
I know we're not supposed to comment on being down-voted, but it might be useful to the OP to know why people wouldn't use his product. I don't think I'm alone, but rather that there's a whole demographic of people that feel overwhelmed by what they (now) own.

I don't think I was rude about it ... and doesn't this give the OP a chance to optimize his web-site for people like me? Or at least decide I'm not his target market?
Latin America Bitcoin Conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina
One big thing that always gets mentioned in any Thorium discussion is that originally, Uranium was chosen over Thorium exactly because it is inherently less safe; it can be used to make bombs, which is what all the nuclear powers were really interested in. So Uranium research got lots of government support while Thorium research was dropped.

I'm no nuclear physicist, so I have no idea if Thorium really is inherently safer than Uranium, but if it is, I'm all for it. But if it is indeed safer and cheaper, and old tech that's been ignored for decades, then why aren't there new Thorium reactors popping up all over the place? Or are there? Is anyone still investing in the Uranium/Plutonium cycle?
Owning things that you use infrequently is inefficient. If you could rent or borrow it for the actual time that you need it, then you are wasting (time|money|other) if you own.

It depends on your expected medical costs. If you're relatively young and healthy, saving that 9-12.5% of your income is worth it. If you're sick/old/etc., then it's absolutely worth buying coverage. Note that in this system the healthy don't join the risk pool.

This, my friend, is called adverse selection.

Enthought, Inc, https://enthought.com/company/careers/ Full Time in Austin, TX

tl;dr - Enthought is looking to hire for two different roles: DevOps and Scientific Developer. We mostly develop in Python, but will consider candidates with a strong C/C++ background.

# DevOps

Enthought is looking for an experienced DevOps engineer to help expand our software publishing and web services automation infrastructure. Enthought Canopy is our new Python platform for scientific and analytic computing. As a core member of the development team you'll be developing a software publishing system capable of building multiple custom products to growing our web services infrastructure, among other challenges. Check out the details at: https://enthought.com/company/careers/devops-engineer/ Help spread Python!

# Scientific Developer

Enthought is currently seeking Scientific Software Developers. If you are passionate about scientific computing, dedicated to quality software, and pragmatic about problem solving, we'd love to hear from you. Our developers participate in the development of scientific and technical applications involving GUIs, 2D and 3D graphics, workflow and pipeline architecture, and numerical algorithms for our proprietary products and for customer applications. Some travel may be required.

# Desired Skills and Capabilities:

* (Required) Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or other scientific or
engineering field with preferably an M.S. or Ph.D. degree.
* (Required) Minimum 2 years of technical lead or development experience
with 4 years being preferred
* Ability to understand a problem domain and then conceive of and
implement an intuitive user interface geared toward the scientist or engineer user.
* Discipline, pride, and professionalism to write readable, documented, and
unit-tested code that serves as an example to those who study your work
* Strong work ethic and commitment to satisfying the customer.
* Experience with Python, and a strong understanding of how to apply its
capabilities to develop GUIs, work flow frameworks, and elegant
scientific applications.
* Strong understanding of statistics, optimization, image processing,
signal processing, or other similar area.

We find that a scientist will thrive at Enthought if their passion for software is as deep and ingrained as their scientific interests.
Please visit us at https://enthought.com/company/careers/ to learn more about our open positions, our values, and what kind of developer fits best at Enthought.
Interested? Send a resume and cover letter to jobs@enthought.com or you can contact me directly at jminardi@enthought.com
Firefox and the Mozilla Suite have had a very similar problem since at least 2005: it autofilled usernames and passwords, which creates a problem with XSS or user-generated content on the same domain. The bug was marked WONTFIX: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280469
haxe might be similar to what you're asking for?
I like this idea, you can in fact build a MVP framework without writing a 1kb library, assuming he's not counting the dependencies (jQuery), you can aswell use Hogan/Mustache/Underscore templates, a router libarary, an observer library and jQuery.

I just dislike the use of "new" in javascript...
I think the size of the bar is actually ms/x so because Riot.js does more x's in the same period of time, the bar is shorter.
Under the "old" system, there was a $1-$2 fee per trade. Back then, we were doing automatching. You listed what you had, and what you wanted, and the system would match up buyers with sellers (which is what you paid the dollar for).

Now, the currency (credits) can be purchased at a rate of $1 per 100 credits. You don't have to buy any, as you can get them in return for the games you want to get rid of, but it's an option if you see something you want to grab right now at a good price.

There's also a limited currency buyback program that anyone can use once a month if they don't see any games they want, but want to get case back. That's under maintenance right now, but will be launching again next week.
Well, that's true. But then when companies like Mozilla try to fight proprietary stuff like H.264 or DRM (because duh, these are incompatible with open-source), people start bitching about it. And that's why we can't have nice things, because some people suck.

You forgot about the Google Talk plugin, which was something that was upsetting me personally, but hopefully they'll fulfil their promise of moving to Web RTC.

Note - I'm actually a Firefox user, because when Mozilla wants to improve the state of PDF rendering, they do it in such a way that everybody benefits, i.e. https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js

Why would Skunk Work make something like that public? Do I miss something or wouldn't that be really weird? I thought normally such military related technological projects are only released to the public after they cannot longer hide it (e.g. like 'Beast of Kandahar' etc.).
"The case the administration is making is that these old plans had invidious characteristics such as lifetime spending limits and missing "essential" no-deductible coverage for preventative services and birth control."

Coupled with the claim that plans based on the new floor for coverage would be at least affordable. Which many are finding invidious because they can't afford the replacement policies that are initially offered by their existing insurers. With all subsidy calculations tied to the Federal site, those who might get a subsidy aren't able to find out for sure without generally extreme levels of effort, although subsidy calculators are available, like the Kaiser Foundation's: http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/

I'm going to go ahead and assume this is satire.
Yes it is. If I'm piping to a shell as an unprivileged user, there needs to be an additional round of exploits to do nastiness to other than that user.

For those whose security model looks like http://xkcd.com/1200 that's not a big difference; but depending on context it might be.

Economist Joseph Lawrence of Princeton University in 1929: “The consensus judgment of the millions whose valuations function on that admirable market, the Stock Exchange, is that stocks are not at present over-valued. Where is that group of men with the all-embracing wisdom which will entitle them to veto the judgment of this intelligent multitude?”

Alan Greenspan in 1999: "To anticipate a bubble about to burst requires the forecast of a plunge in the prices of assets previously set by the judgments of millions of investors, many of whom are highly knowledgeable about the prospects for the specific investments that make up our broad price indices of stocks and other assets."
This is probably a stupid question, but is the Canvas's DrawLine function thread-safe? It looks like multiple Nodes could be drawing to the same canvas at the same time, and I don't see any locks/mutexes/whatevers wrapping that call.

We've posted about this on HN a few times and have been amazed by the response. I apologize if you applied last month and we haven't gotten back to you yet. We interview everyone personally and are still ramping up the process. We'll reach out as soon as we can!

Right now, we're particularly looking for NYC Rails devs. If that sounds like you, shoot me an email and I'll bump you to the top of the queue.
At a theoretical level you would expect a free market system to produce very few billionaires. Low regulatory barriers to entry and easy capital formation mean high profit margins get rapidly eaten by competitors.

If you look around the world today, in practice billionaires and big government do seem to go hand in hand. Consider the massive barriers to entry to the US financial system erected by very wealthy people. Or more egregiously look at the Russian oligarchs.
The problems with writing client side JavaScript on a big project have little to do with the m.o. of your framework, but they are heavily affected by the manageability of the code you produce.

Jeremy's point is that the framework is snake oil, and he is right. You will spend effectively just as much time ensuring your code is manageable without this framework as you will with it. It is mostly a wrapper around jQuery, and if you aren't the sort of JavaScript developer who can recreate this sort of wrapper in short order, you should strive to be (especially if you are taking on the task of authoring a large scale JavaScript application).
