I thought the law was supposed to encourage preventative care. Not offering at least one low cost doctor visit seems to betray that goal.
Forces would be different all over the surface. Assume for a moment that it launches straight up and does not translate, that is, remains "flat", perfectly parallel with the plane of its launch point.

There would be reduced force on the bottom and considerable force on the top, just from air pressure. Hold your hand out the window at 100km/h to learn what I mean: The forward side of your hand faces increased air pressure, the backward side has reduced air pressure.

So far, so good. Now add the vortices curling around the edges of this flat object - there will be force differentials.

Now add the vortices on the forward surface: Unless this object is optically flat, it will have sufficient surface features to create all manner of weird fluid dynamics, if traveling at the suggested speed.

Will it deform? Hmm, good question. First thing that will happen is wicked random translation (pitch and roll) due to the differences in force described above.

If it doesn't make orbit, it might deform under heat stress on the way down. The way up it would probably travel like a knuckleball, but on the way down it might start to stabilize.

I'm not what the odds are, but my guess is the two most probable descent motions are, one, knife edge descent, in which case the leading edge heats up, and it starts to soften and deform, and two, spin about a lateral axis parallel to the earth. In this latter case, I don't know if there would be enough heat on the two "leading edges" to cause deformation (think of it coming out of clock, spinning clockwise: as each edge passes noon, it hits "harder air" as it passes down to 6).

If it continues in knuckleball descent, I should think heat buildup would be evenly dispersed.

Deformation would occur if sufficient heat builds up to soften the metal.

Note: if the object isn't metal, or is mixed metal and other material, it's likely that it would break apart due to either or both of uneven heat distribution and uneven resistance to force differences. Or combust.

Objects behave weirdly when traveling that fast in dense fluids.
My assertion is that the comparison made is not a good comparison.
This is as bi-partisan as you can get. The Democrats passed the Republicans' plan. The only reason it didn't get any Republican support was because the Republicans are completely nuts. There is no way to get their support for anything right now.
Shopify

Shopify is the best platform for online stores, as well as a diverse company of happy polyglots who hack on everything between UX, data warehouses, and low-level CRuby VM performance issues.
We value personal growth, and developer quality of life in a huge way and show it by having safe deployment systems anyone can trigger; facilitated retrospectives + off-sites with Corey Haines; GitHub and PRs for everything; small, mixed teams of folks with 0 to 30 years of experience, and encouragement from the still-hacking CEO to give back to open source on company time.

http://shopify.com/careers – apply to any dev/ops job and mention HN and I’ll give you a hand.

Here’s a sampler of the current teams at work:

Reports

High throughput + realtime tools for customers; we hired the author of SkyDB to continue making it more awesome. People on this team have backgrounds in low-level kernel work, Smalltalk VM development, and deployment of national wireless systems.

Stack

The right thing to do should be the easiest thing to do; this team works on things like implementing Kafka across the entire Shopify system to let anyone pub/sub to any call-site, opening the door for easy instrumentation/experimentation.

Performance

We’re in the process of sharding Shopify in order to isolate and better service stores experiencing $3000000+/hour flash sales. People working on IBM’s specialized JVM are now hacking here, while also contributing context threading patches to CRuby off the side of their desk for fun.

Point of Sale

If you like making beautiful hardware + beautiful software that you can see used by customers who tell you this is the Holy Grail of retail systems, then you go here.

Operations

Engineers here work on projects like Chef, distributed cloud+iron failover systems, DDOS mitigation stuff and our new datacenters.

More teams

Data (giant, columnar data-stores + PhD withbackgrounds in finance and astrophysics)

Admin (Batman.js + UX professionals + designers who code)

Self help (machine learning for people learning)

Apps (JS SDKs for seamless iframes + APIs)

Checkout (provide low-latency experiences while dealing with high-latency payment gateways; don’t drop any of the zillion$$$ going by)

Platform + Growth (biz dev science + gamification of ecommerce education)

Internal tools (Fast Company-covered staff bonus system aka “Unicorn”, Bayesian classification of customer questions assigned to support experts, hand-made phone queueing systems wrapped around Twilio, etc., etc.)

Billing (hard-core testers need only apply)

Payments (integrations with Stripe + fraudster f-ing)

Core/API (everything not here)

(more but secret)

Seeking full-time programmers, and data analysts to work in Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa, Canada. We’ll help with visas.
Seeking operations staff anywhere (remote friendly).

The Dec 15th date is for open enrollment and coverage starting January 1. The mandate deadline is March 15. I think you have them confused.
Check out https://www.sticknfind.com/
I've also found it's like viewing interest rates on Zillow, it will be the lowest possible number that almost no one could qualify for but, it looks nice when shopping and gets people thinking they can afford it so the small increases later are accepted.
And my question is, based on what? What makes Massachusetts a bad comparison? Why do you believe people would flock to Obamacare enrollment on the first day when that didn't happen in the state plan that Obamacare is based on?

> They chose to take advantage of it.

What would they do, just let Google acquire even more mobile-related patents? You think Google would never sue them? Let's not be naive, the only reason Google is a good citizen with patents today is because a retaliation would make a dent on them, and they know it.

The parent is right, the problem is the patent system, which gives a disproportional power to the holder and creates these power dynamics, "eat or be eaten". There's no space for ethics or fairness there.
Well, that was $3 well spent (I splurged for the package with the comic books).
The carrot isn't really in play either, yet, since there's no advantage to signing up before December. Coverage starts at the same date either way, so why bother now?
Adverse selection death spiral (https://www.google.com/search?q=obamacare+Adverse+selection+...), and moving the goalposts too far forward means insurance companies, which have to submit 2015 plans in the January through March (as I recall; maybe April) period will have very poor data to do that with, very possibly resulting in higher than needed costs.

And while I don't think you were addressing this, millions will lose their now outlawed plans on January 1.
How would you like applications to be made?
The iPhone 5 runs great on iOS 7. Perhaps you're referring to the long animations for certain tasks, but those can be turned off.

The iPhone 5 runs very well on iOS 7. The iPhone 4S runs fine, but not quite as smooth. The iPhone 4 is a bit slow, and I highly recommend anyone with an older iOS device to turn off the animations and other effects. It makes for a smoother experience.
Health insurance is supposed to keep you from going bankrupt when your appendix bursts.
Thanks, I absolutely had no clue.
Is it really any more magical than how OS threads get mapped to CPU cores?
I actually use this strategy. Because I mentor high school students, I sometimes ask them what they use the most. Facebook is not on that list. Instagram and Tumblr for sure and maybe SnapChat. That's not to say that FB is out. Sometimes the best way to reach them is via FB messages.

The good thing about teenagers is that:
1. they're trendy or try to be
2. have short attention span

If you can get a teenager to understand and like your product, you have a good chance of going viral, popular, or whatever it is kids call it these days.
This would be a major point forward both for Germany as well as Snowden.
I'd convinced myself that it was significantly bigger to avoid being tempted by it, and maintaining this disillusionment through sheer laziness. Seeing those numbers has me checking my bank account. You are a very bad man.
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. Not sure whether that's an accurate claim for the pre-ACA plans you listed. Presumably ACA's no-deductible requirement applies to the new plan, so while you might pay for irregular doctor's visits, your scheduled preventative checkups should have no out of pocket costs.

But I think that's small potatoes (the number of patients likely to exceed any reasonable lifetime coverage limitations has got to be tiny, and cheaply re-insurable by BCBS if needed). The real cost is likely coming from BCBS' estimate of the change in the risk pool characteristics of this new plan. Namely, it doesn't matter how healthy you are to sign up for the new one, so presumably on average it will be made up of less healthy people. There's also the cost-shifting that has to happen: Plans for older people can only be a set multiple (3x?) more expensive than for younger people, so the younger person's plan must be made more expensive. This is called cost-sharing if you're being polite, and a redistribution scheme if not.
Why VC Firms Should Avoid Seed Deals
Boston/Cambridge, MA - Nutonian Inc. (INTERN POSITIONS OPEN, and H1B available)

http://www.nutonian.com/company/careers/

Thats the list of currently available positions, but in particular, we really, REALLY need another Front End Dev. Being that I am the only one, I need someone to work with me! You would have a ton of input in terms of the look and feel of the application, and how we architect it.

Currently, we are using Backbone, Pure CSS, Handlebars, Grunt, and Casper and Phantom for CI.

A little background on the company: Nutonian is changing the way people interact with their data to understand the hidden mathematical relationships there. Backed by Atlas Ventures we are very well funded (Series A was announced last Wed, a $4m deal) and in a unique position to capitalize on the convergence of trends in big data and machine learning.

Our core technology, built upon years of academic research at Cornell University, automatically finds all the interesting relationships in data sets. Our current products have been used by over 30,000 people, a testament to its power and commercial reach. Our team is still small - everyone has a large impact, knows the CEO personally, and will create and own the core technology components that make up our company's product. Like other high performance teams, while we work hard, we also play hard with regular company meals, dinners, and social outings.

Contact me if you want to know more about the positions, nick@nutonian.com

Thanks!

Great job!

I'm not entirely sold that you needed to go that far outside vanilla AngularJS though. If you follow #3 strictly and throw out #1, I don't think you need #2 and #4, which are the ones that break the spirit of the general style of development in AngularJS. Creating elements dynamically is not a high-latency operation in modern browsers. This means in most cases, elements with a lot of watchers inside should not be hidden, but destroyed and recreated on demand, along with the scopes where the watchers are registered. As you found out, watchers are by far the most expensive part of AngularJS, because they run every digest cycle, and the solution isn't to manually manage them, but rather use the natuarl AngularJS mechanisms (ng-if, transclusion, ng-switch, and if you're on an older version of AngularJS without ng-if, ui-if) to not even render those parts until needed. ng-show in general should not be used to show and hide elements with lots of watchers inside them.

What version of AngularJS are you on? The latest should have "track by" for ng-repeat, which should largely alleviate your concerns about ng-repeat rebuilding the whole DOM when you insert new elements.

Wow that is wonderful! Great idea! I have a tourism related startup I shut down 1 year ago, very similar to this, but it was more basic. I was write it in rails as well.

I need a week off from work and I can make the UI translatable and finish the Hungarian translation if you are interested.

I did not check the source, is it planned to show recommended destinations after I selected a city?

>> To put into context, how much do you think a telco company with 26 million US customers is worth?

26 million free users vs 26 million customers paying $50-100 a month is apples and oranges.

On the other hand, from the article: "As long as I can sell it to someone else for more in six months, who cares what it's really worth?" It might be argued that it's "really worth" whatever you can sell it for. It's not crazy to buy a baseball card for $100 if you can sell it for $150. Why is stock different, except that it's more volatile?
That would require lots of new hardware, which presumably he doesn't yet have. Maybe someone else who has access to 3D scanning equipment would be able to do it in a few years.

Or maybe the people at SIGGRAPH will come up with a crazy new algorithm to reconstruct 3D models of game console from 2D photos. ;)

Angular has no dependancies. Knockout also has no dependancies, so it's actually 13k > than riot.

Where do you think Blackberry is going though? I would wager it'll be worth less than 4bn in 2 years time, where-as investors are banking that Snapchat will be worth more.
Well, sure, but most Americans and policymakers haven't thought about "health insurance" in those terms for a long time. PPACA makes plans that only protect against that kind of thing illegal.

The Hub: Open Source Conference Guidance
While I think the Snapchat approach may be a major tenant of online communication going forward (just like in the offline world, there is a great amount that need be communicated but not published), an idea itself is not where the value lies for investors. It's about execution and, for investors, monetization. I think Snapchat will be seen as the nexus of a major change in digital communication, but I'm not sure whether it's Google or Alta Vista.

When Jobs claimed that Android was a stolen product and that he was willing to go nuclear on it, this is what he meant. And his claims have some merit. It is hard to blame Apple for using legal weapons to go after Google no matter how distasteful the use of such weapons might be.
This is a great idea. Nice work. I'm probably the only one here but everytime i see open source I run to github hoping for a python project but almost always am looking at ROR .... oh well

Health insurance "yes", health care "no".
Here's how I like to view these 'valuations': I am certainly a 'nerd', 'geek', 'tech-head'; whatever sort of label you want to throw at me. I am also the furthest you could get from somebody who has half a clue about stocks, mergers, IPOs etc.

Forget about the hype, the amount of users, the "mindshare", the paradigm-shifting omg-teh-adsense-ponies. To a 'regular joe' like myself, all I think when I hear anything about these sorts of companies is this: Do they currently make money from the service they provide? If so, for how long will this be a viable revenue stream? If not, does anybody realistically expect this situation to magically change at some future date?

As others have pointed out, this kind of investment prospect is often an easy way to make a quick buck for people in the know/money. I do understand this.

What I don't understand is how there can be such a lack of retrospective caution exercised by so many people who may have a hand to play in the outcome of these IPOs.

Despite not having the slightest clue about stock markets and financial investments, when it comes to these 'Web 2.0' companies, I do know a viable business model when I see one.

How the hell do all these people involved in the artificial inflation of the value of these companies not think back to what happened with the first web/tech bubble of the late '90s and early '00s?

I'm an uneducated oaf in the tail end of my 20's and even I can recall the ridiculous shit that went on back then. How can people with so much more technical and financial wisdom seriously think services like these are worth so much?
NYC Full-Time - SinglePlatform (a Constant Contact Company)

Frontend, backend, Ops, QA, etc.!

(Rated as a "Crain's NYC 2013 Best Places to Work"! http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20131009/SMALLBIZ/13100...)

We're a small-business data aggregator charged with getting the "last mile" SMB data (menus, services, hours of operation, address, etc.) for all businesses in the US (restaurants, spas, salons, etc.) and providing that in an API for our publisher network (YellowPages, Yelp, FourSquare, Seamless, #{Your App}, etc.) to distribute it far and wide.

Our customers (small and medium sized businesses) love us and we're taking an active role bringing them more customers - and helping them stay in business. It's a great mission, and I hope you'll want to be a part of it.

We primarily work with Node.js/Couch and Python/Django for our merchant tools (what the SMBs use) and AWS/Ansible on the Ops end.

We're looking for both senior and mid-level frontend, backend, ops, and QA people. Although we're a part of a bigger company (were acquired by ConstantContact almost two years ago), we're still a startup at heart. You'll be a member of a small but strong product team, doing fun things, working with great people. But you won't have to worry about whether or not we're broke next week, won't have to take a below-market salary, forgo awesome health insurance -- and your stock options actually have value (https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:CTCT)!

Feel free to drop me a line at mrogish@singleplatform.com for more info!

Thanks!
