I'd recommend CSS Mastery. While a lot of the browser hacks are completely outdated, the sections on CSS fundamentals helped me a lot.

It was the first time I went through an explanation of CSS layout and positioning and felt comfortable turning something on paper into a UI on screen that looked exactly how I wanted it to look. Before the book I relied heavily on trial and error. Now I can look at something, write some markup and CSS, and it does exactly what I want.
Space exploration always had political motivation driving it or inhibiting it. The great progress done during last 40-50 years wouldn't have as much without cold war and its associated factors.

In this case, even if you exclude the Russian factor, the point that ULA was awarded such a huge contract without any competition, most probably didn't happen without political (and/or financial) influence.

Given the circumstances, why would the USAF not bid out the launches? My thought is that they see Lockheed and Boeing as American companies and don't really care where the parts come from. In the end, SpaceX has shown a competive price and should have a chance to bid these launches.

On another hand, the US/Russian space programs and teamwork with the ISS is largely separated from the political issues in Ukraine. There is too much to lose on either side.

I went to a high school that was full of rich kids. Not filthy rich, but rich enough to have a sense of entitlement.

This sort of outcome is almost the norm. Out of the people I knew, I wouldn't be surprised if over 50% went to rehab at some point. Every couple months you hear about the son of surgeons or lawyers getting arrested for something big, such as armed robbery or dealing of hard drugs. I'm glad this article was able to shed some light into why.

I think it's also because people think they know how to assess the risks of cars. They think of crashes, maybe, as the primary (if not sole) risk. They don't know of anyone who's ever died from car exhaust, apart from perhaps a carbon monoxide suicide.

Cell phones are newer things in people's lives. There's less established understanding of what they can do. Combined with a general fear of radiation, and the associated risks of cancer, and it's easier to believe you'll get cancer from a phone than from car exhaust.
SEEKING WORK - REMOTE / ONSITE POSSIBLE

Hello! I'm a UK-based full-stack developer with a touch of design thrown in.

I worked on e-commerce, Wordpress, CRM, API's (building & integrating with), web apps, MVP's, iOS/Android apps etc etc. Everything from little niche sites to those with huge traffic/revenue.

Front end web: HTML5, CSS, Javascript, responsive design
Back end web: PHP (I specialise in Codeigniter but have used all kinds!), picking up nodeJS too.

App dev:

I work with Titanium mainly, but I've also used Phonegap in the past. Have worked on iOS and Android apps for phones & tablets. I've also built a good number of API's to complement, so that's covered too.

Most recent work:

* https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/eatmcr/id384069000
* https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pitbot.pit....
* https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pitchup.com-campsite-caravan....

In general I have a pretty good overview of every step of the development process - from sketch to deployment. I can help draw up specs, implement, optimise and launch.

In addition to the above, I'm happy to give some big discounted rates if any of the following sound interesting:

* I'd be very interested in building something on AngularJS or similar & also get into Python properly. If you have something non-mega-urgent that can handle a few little learning issues then it might be worth a try...

* Similarly, in exchange for travel+accomm, I'll do a big discount on work in interesting places with interesting people. Onsite work might be tricky outside the EU but in those cases I could work remotely initially and come say hello after.

Can supply big list of links and info on other recent work if interested.

I don't think it is pointless to consider the possibility that infinite progress is not inevitable. You may have faith that science and technology will always come through, but I don't. This blind faith that things will always get better is one reason why people deny climate change. I'm not saying we give up and admit defeat, but blind optimism is foolish. Keep working on solutions, but be prepared for failure scenarios.
They really need to fix the non-sensical "North" and "West" Europe naming.

Amsterdam is western Europe, yes, but so is the UK and Dublin where their "North" Europe region is. A better name would be Central Europe, perhaps?

I'm not even sure what North Europe is? I guess it could be either Sweden, Scotland or maybe Iceland?

Sheffield, UK (possibly remote) - Delver - http://delver.io

We're hiring a developers to help bring powerful natural language querying to every dashboard and reporting system in the world.

We use Clojure day-to-day, but we'd be happy to talk to clever programmers with a background in other JVM or functional languages. NLP experience (academic or practical) would be great, but a CS background is a must. If you’ve been exposed to data warehousing and business intelligence systems in the past without being driven insane that's another plus.

Our team is based in Sheffield, Yorkshire – the greenest city in the UK, less than two hours from London. We have burritos – it's a real place – but we spend some time working remotely and we’d work to accommodate the right candidate anywhere in the UK.

Get in touch with me, Thom Lawrence at thom@delver.io if you'd like to chat.

SEEKING WORK - based in Israel (and Chicago through mid-June), but work remotely

I've been a full-stack Web developer since 1993, and a consultant since 1995. I have extensive experience with Ruby (and Rails), Python, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and many other technologies.

My real value isn't my extensive technological know-how. Rather, it's my ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical people, and to turn that communication into business value.

I know how to take business needs and turn them into software, by myself and with others. I also know how to describe technical issues in terms that business people can understand, that allow us to make informed decisions. Many of my clients have used me as a remote, part-time CTO or lead developer.

I also help developers and teams improve their coding and management practices. I frequently teach in-person courses in Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to such companies as Apple, Cisco, Freescale, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare. I also offer online coaching/pairing services to individuals and teams.

My aim: Long-term, interesting projects with nice people. (Short-term relationships can also be fine, depending on the work and my schedule.) Bottom line, I like to speak with and help nice people, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so.

If I can be of help to you or your company, contact me at reuven@lerner.co.il, or on Skype as "reuvenlerner". You can also read more about me at http://lerner.co.il/ .

Job Interview Preparation Tips
I can't befriend with the idea that a company that is earning its money with advertisement is becoming the next abstraction layer on top of the internet.
"In a statement issued this week, ULA said it is “the only government certified launch provider that meets all of the unique . . . requirements that are critical to supporting our troops and keeping our country safe.”"

Wow. Unique requirements that were no doubt co-written by the only party that can provide them.

If the requirements are unique that is still no reason to go no-bid, after all it might be possible for another party to re-tool and/or adapt to those requirement and still beat the only party currently able to supply.

Elon Musk makes a good point when he says that he's willing to lose but he wants the right to bid.
> I think you are confusing discoverability with navigation.

I'm not. I understand why it's hard to swallow though, because I think a valid criticism of the REST architectural style is that it removes bookmark-ability.

> It's good if you can discover all content through hypermedia, but why should you prevent direct access?!

Well, precisely because direct access implies that out-of-band knowledge is driving the interaction rather than hypermedia. I would refer you to Fielding's discussion of the topic[0] where he notes:

> A REST API should be entered with no prior knowledge beyond the initial URI (bookmark) and set of standardized media types that are appropriate for the intended audience (i.e., expected to be understood by any client that might use the API). From that point on, all application state transitions must be driven by client selection of server-provided choices that are present in the received representations or implied by the user’s manipulation of those representations. The transitions may be determined (or limited by) the client’s knowledge of media types and resource communication mechanisms, both of which may be improved on-the-fly (e.g., code-on-demand).

> It's like saying that there should be an indes in every book (yes!), and therefore you should not ever tell anyone on which page of the book they can find something relevant (wtf?).

Interacting with a web service/site is not like interacting with a book (or a physical address), because there is no permanence as there is with physical objects. Have you never tried to go to an old bookmark to find that the content has been moved (and you get a nice 404)?

Anyway, I wasn't saying that this is all A Good Thing, just that the change in chrome doesn't seem at all at odds with REST (however, as many have pointed out, it can be at odds with usability)

On the other hand, an unstructured program translated to a goto-less one via the introduction of lots of "flag" variables is just as hard to understand as the version using gotos.

Thanks for this (also to the parent). I've just realised that goto has been so purged from my consciousness that my code is full of the 'flag' pattern. I haven't even considered goto as part of any language I've used in the last 20+ years.
I guess I have some assumption-questioning to do.
I dunno, either, when has that ever stopped someone on the internet? Thoughts:

The critical efficiency issue in writing a novel is writing a novel. Selecting novel writing software is not writing a novel any more than selecting novel writing shoes is and if you're like me shoe shopping might be more fun.

Yet it [software shopping | shoe shopping, take your pick] is distinctly not writing a novel. On the other hand, pen and paper in hand, you could have fifteen or twenty wads of paper in the trashcan in a couple of hours and maybe one or two in...what's the best file folder for writing a novel? I best find the right file folders to properly keep the pages I haven't written once I write them and this box of 100 folders shows that I am serious about my writing even though they are all empty].

War and Peace was written without computers or Google. I once had a boss who wrote his business letters in Lotus 123. It was better than DOS edlin. Tolstoy might have killed to get vim but only because Org-mode had not been invented.

The serious point is that software has a learning curve, and learning novel writing software is not writing a novel either. What's the best HN comment writing software? Certainly not the browser on my touch screen phone, but sometimes I use it anyway. But not for this comment.

Consider turning on noprocrast.

Good luck, have fun.

We're currently looking for several roles, including a junior front-end dev, Rails developers, and several security analyst positions that aren't on my team.
