SEEKING WORK - Remote or Los Angeles

I develop high-quality custom software for startups and established businesses. I was the prior CTO/cofounder of a venture-funded social networking startup, have a top-flight education, and have been helping startups with their software needs full-time for almost two years.

I take on a minimal number of clients to ensure high quality and fast turnaround. I specialize in developing complete software solutions and in solving hard-to-solve problems. Clients have hired me for projects involving:

Custom Backend Architecture | REST API Development | Desktop Software | Search | Database Architecture | Automated Classification | Scaling/Performance Testing | Low-level Hardware Interfacing

I have studied and interned at top-flight institutions such as Caltech (Computation & Neural Systems), Microsoft (Windows Search), Google Summer of Code (Neural Networks), Purdue University (Computer Engineering), Two US National Laboratories (Parallel Computing & Bioinformatics), and the US Dept. of Homeland Security (Fellow).

Shoot me an email at dan@danwilhelm.com with more about your project and I will get back with you promptly. Also check out more of my work at http://danwilhelm.com.
And by "same thing" you mean that Georgia started an invasion of South Ossetia and then forced to retreat when Russian forces counter-attacked?
This looks similar to what happened to the stock photography business over the last 10 years with the rise of microstock websites.

The field really opened up to a lot of then amateur photographers who couldn't sell to one of the big name stock agencies.

45+ comments, and i don't see the word 'option' mentioned anywhere here.

when buying luxury cars, option is the word you need to keep in mind. option, option, option, option. everything is an option, and everything costs money. no way on earth will a european carmaker charge less than $2000 for an apple dashboard. i mean, come on, that kind of money just prints itself!

this is not going to be standard, and you will not have your choice of car constrained to the choice of phone you bought. furthermore, with bluetooth and other technologies, compatability isn't going to be an issue. my mercedes has a weird barely-useable german software interface and works just fine with my apple iphone.
> How is Russia invading when it already has a massive military base there, in the Crimea, which was Russian until 1954?

The same way the US would have been invading if it invaded the Phillipines in 1991, where it had a massive military base and which had been American up until 1946. Neither "this was our territory ~50 years ago" nor "we have a massive military base in this territory" gives a country permission to invade and occupy a territory.
What do you mean by "ready"? Because for me, ready means being able to run a relatively stable production system, which plenty of teams who use node are able to do.

You listed some downsides, but none of them are actually breaking problems that block running a stable node production system.
I think the real lesson here is never get in a Tesla driven by an automotive journalist. You have a median time of about two hours until it runs out of power or spontaneously explodes.

This article shows that the author has little knowledge of freeway safety and thus presumably not a ton of knowledge about cars in general. When stopped on a freeway or on ramp and not in the shoulder, one should never exit the vehicle. Especially if one is in the safest car ever tested by NHTSA.

Secondly calling tesla roadside is great but the first call should be to 911 for a cruiser to come and at least add some safety with their lights. A stalled car on a freeway on ramp is an emergency situation and by not calling 911 the author was endangering the lives of himself, his son, and anyone else using the on ramp.

edit my first point was a bit off. If you can exit the vehicle and exit the road without crossing active traffic that can be safe too. Second point still holds.

>>> I think that regulation sometimes swings this way, but it is sometimes gradually, slowly, fixed

The first sometimes is more like "almost always" and the second one is more like "almost never". Government regulation is a ratchet - easy to move one way, almost impossible to move the opposite way.

>>> Lastly, where does the money come from?

That, as I said, the question that is never asked. Because everybody feels entitled to have the money, nobody ever asks who's paying the money. Consumers? Shareholders? Taxpayers? Who cares.
> If the tow truck didn't arrive at exactly when it did, the stalled Tesla would have been nearly invisible to traffic getting on the freeway.

It goes to show, even with advanced technology, low-tech items like road flares can be life savers.

Well for example if you have a bunch of web servers and you are looking for server errors and you do

# tail -f access|grep \ 500\

on all the instances.

You can then do a regex match on 500 in the app and it will sort the terminal windows that have the most matches to the top. That way you can determine what instances are failing.

I don't think parallel-ssh, cssh, tmux do that.

and it's web-based too.. Which just makes it different, not better!
> As if somebody would be intervening. EU bureaucrats plan to hold "emergency meeting" on Monday - because occupation of a foreign country and potential war near their borders is not a reason to work on Sunday, you see.

Or because the actual work to develop options and brief on the facts prior to the emergency meeting of decision makers is going to happen through Sunday.

Most of the work related to any meeting of decision-makers, even an emergency meeting, happens before the meeting.

Atlastory - Palo Alto, CA

Atlastory is a bootstrapped startup working on a project similar to OpenStreetMap or Wikipedia, with the goal of mapping the world throughout history (and seeing maps change over time). Getting to this point requires building a crowdsourcing community around historic map data.

We're looking for other talented hackers to work with, preferably with experience in Javascript/Node. (Current stack is EC2, Postgres, Node, Rendr.js/Backbone.js.) More importantly others who are interested in history/mapping and in solving challenging problems.

The problem is that corporations are not just satisfied with making a profit but tend to progress towards squeezing the last penny out of users at all costs. For example, Google is rolling out tracking which stores Android phones visit, and if you turn location services off, a lot of things including Google Now stop working[1]. Why would I want to work for free on improving maps so they can track where people go for advertising purposes? It is the difference between contributing to Wikipedia versus Encyclopaedia Brittanica.Not to mention doing user hostile things like making ads look like search results[3]

>That's precisely what Google is trying to achieve with its mapping initiative. The firm is investing heavily in community tools (not to mention SDKs for developers) that give us an opportunity to participate: posting, querying and modifying data.

So is OpenStreetMap, Navteq(commercial again) [2] and other mapping companies. Atleast Navteq/Nokia allows you to download complete offlline maps for their Here maps on supported devices unlike Google which wants to force people to be online for tracking/advertising purposes.

I'm interested to know what actually happened. It sounds like they just ran out of power?
If all of the people putting money into Bitcoin had put this much thought into their investment, there wouldn't be a problem.

The people I think are likely hypocrites are the group I think of "glibertarians". A fine example is Wall Street and its army of fluffers. They are deeply opposed to government intervention, except suddenly when government intervention is in their favor that's ok. It's not libertarianism; it's IGMFY wearing a bow tie.

Also, a writing protip: basing an argument on a dictionary definition is an almost universal sign of a weak argument. It means you've given up trying to engage with what other people are actually saying, and are just trying to "win".

And it's even worse when you're just wrong. If I type "hypocrisy" into Google, the first definition is "the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense." E.g., the advocacy of (or betting on) independence from or the obsolescence of existing regulatory structures and then turning around and asking for protection from those structures.

My first meteor app - a website for writing stories together. It's fun and stories evolve in the most unexpected ways.

How does this work? Person A starts a story, Person B adds the first line, Person C adds the second line. I added time limits to post too to make things interesting.

Any thoughts?

There was a little thing there in Iraq about a Kuwait-invading, mustard gas-using, terrorist sponsoring dictator, but sure, the main thing was Miller's reporting.

And of course whatever happened in Iraq means it's OK for Putin to invade Ukraine. Because US wouldn't like it and since US is evil obviously Putin is a good guy here. See your logic now, you've pieced it all together perfectly.

I recently took a gig at Localytics as a devops/backend developer and I've been consistently impressed by the quality of the tech and the culture here. I've yet to meet anyone I didn't like and there are interesting challenges up and down the stack, along with a pretty aggressive cultural attitude towards minimizing technical debt.

It's an impressive shop and I recommend checking it out.

That's one ridiculous exaggeration. Did you even read the law you are talking about, or you are just repeating somebody else's propaganda? The law was actually criticized by Ukrainian minorities -- by Crimean Tatars [1], by Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine[2], by Congress of Ethnic Communities of Ukraine [3]. But the most important detail -- the law in fact wasn't repealed! Acting president already vetoed its repeal.

There's a bit more that went into all of this:

MIT's EECS undergraduate enrollment cratered after the
"dot.com" crash, more than halved, after being 40% of the student body for decades.

The department panicked.

And it was most certainly ordered that Scheme be entirely purged from the base curriculum, even while they claimed they were teaching SICP concepts and functional programming in 6.005, they were using Java, a language that's "not even wrong" for the purpose (that, at least, has been improved to Python, which is only [fill in the blank] hostile to FP).

Not one of the department's finer moments, from my no direct interest in EE at all viewpoint, but from a less biased one you can safely say a MIT EECS degree now means something quite different. And it's a damned shame for those outside the department, for whom 6.001 was truly valuable, that MIT no longer offers anything in its niche (outside of a rearguard 1 month version of it during January).
I just signed up and was placed near 12,000 in the queue. That's a surprisingly large number.
Are you all looking for interns?
No idea what the law is like over there, but here you are obligated to place a warning triangle some distance out and every car must carry a kit that among first-aid stuff has such a triangle.

Not sure if I'd try that stuck on the left lane of the freeway (or Autobahn).
No I don't think it's necessary. I think changing 200 ft of road across from where I live to "closed" while construction happens for the next year is a minor enough edit that it should be accepted no questions asked. I was tired of having navigation send me down a closed road.

You are a developer who can take an academic paper and turn it into a working prototype because what you are designing won't have been done before.

You value correctness above all else because when you send 100,000 orders a day if you get 1% of them wrong, bad things will happen...

You are comfortable with F# or C++.

This is a misrepresentation of TACK. TACK will ordinarily be deployed similarly to HSTS: it's a key continuity scheme, like SSH. It doesn't require a "third party trust infrastructure". But unlike the CA system, TACK also supports the notion of a third-party root; the EFF could run a site that would provide trustworthy pinned keys for arbitrary sites on the Internet, and you could subscribe to that site.

Contrast to DNSChain, which requires that ordinary users trust a third-party server.

DNSChain isn't going to happen.

There is Peter Thiel's Breakout Labs: http://breakoutlabs.org/home.html
Some technical background: in addition to the propulsion electrical system, the Tesla has a conventional 12V electrical system for running lights, radio, door locks, computers, etc. This system is always on, unlike the propulsion power which is disconnected by a relay when the car is off.

The 12V system has a conventional lead-acid battery which is kept charged when the vehicle is running by an inverter running off the propulsion battery.

Presumably, the 12v inverter failed in this story so the lead-acid battery ran down. You'd get results similar in a conventional car where the alternator failed: gradually dimming lights, then suddenly no engine power.
