When I was younger I could probably handle a weirdo office like this for a year or two. Now? No way. I need some level of quiet, non-social time, etc to be focused and get things done. I imagine environments like this are the equivalent of saying, "We don't hire anyone over 30."

Passionate & dedicated frontend & backend webdeveloper with a special interest in websocket/webrtc/isomorphic webapp implementation & design. I'm currently writing an open-source isomorphic p2p web-framework called high5. Together with a former collegue, I wrote a simple but effective webrtc video-conferencing prototype app(https://r00my.com/) as part of an YC-application. The past year I worked on a few Meteor projects and learned some things about reactive programming styles and two-way data-binding. I also worked on projects using Python, Django, Flask, Pyramid, Twisted & Plone.

I'm looking for a mid-sized, informal & inspiring tech-company, with nodejs in it's backend stack, and is offering a challenging and interesting backend/frontend vacancy with relocation option or with the option to work remotely. Feel free to email me for more information.

Link states a more pressing concern: Large quantities of methane gas were released, however, creating an environmental problem and posing a potential danger to the people of the nearby villages. Fearing the further release of poisonous gases from the cavern, the scientists decided to burn it off. They thought that it would be safer to burn it than to extract it from underground through expensive methods.

Full stack developer with a strong preference for the back-end part of web applications. I'm currently working for KissKissBankBank (the leading European Crowdfunding website) in Paris (France) but will be moving the company and moving to Vancouver BC in August. I'm already authorized to work there, no boring visa paperwork for you!

I'm looking for the next big challenge, ideally in a small company or startup. I love to learn new stuff every day and work with a team of cool people.
I'm glad I checked the comments to see if this was worth my time... question answered.
Some of these policies (like not allowing paste into change-password fields) I can understand conceptually; for example, you don't want someone to mistype their password, paste it twice, and then not be able to get in again later. This example works around problems that most people have, and really screws over people who use secure passwords and password managers.

It's that old pattern of trying to be 'clever' to work around a problem, which in turn screws over anyone who doesn't actually have that problem, akin to plugging a sideways AC adapter[1] into a horizontal power strip[2]. The sideways AC adapter is a suitable workaround if you don't have a sideways power strip, but if you do it's often much worse (especially if you have two to plug in).

Perhaps LastPass et al should provide a browser extension to prevent this kind of behaviour in the first place (e.g. removing onpaste events from password fields).

Explain Office 365 Like I’m Five
Considering it's not a real office, yes, it's purely for image. It's meant to communicate "Slugline is so creative and forward-thinking that they don't even need non-beanbag furnishings!", and contrast against the Post's button-down, cubicle hell style.

The sad part is that some people see things like that in TV shows and try to duplicate them in the real world, without realizing that devices that work to communicate something on television don't necessarily actually work for doing the thing that the TV people are supposedly doing.
Sorry for the late reply. I made couple of chrome extensions and apps last year to test the effectiveness of Chrome Web Store as a distribution channel. Now two left: PayableForm (app), and News Tracker(extension). Both were build during weekend, and both were little marketed.

The result is disappointing (for extensions). The installation ratio of chrome extension is never more than 0.2%, while chrome app is constantly above 0.5%.

Google did downplay extensions. Around Nov last year, Google put Apps above the extensions in the search result list. Google also default to expand categories under "Apps", resulting extensions down to the 2nd to last of the list in the left side bar, just above themes.

On the packaged app front, maybe you can use good-old-drag-n-drop.
Another gotcha: If you intend to physically move a pool of disks from one system to another, or even move them to different SATA or SAS ports on the same system (or different drive bays in a JBOD), you should EXPORT THE POOL FIRST. I came within a hair's breadth of losing a pool when I didn't do that, and import attempts resulted in "corrupted data" messages. I managed to straighten that out and recover the pool, but it was a close call.

When it is not exported, the pool stores the device names of its component disks, and if the wrong disks end up on the wrong devices, you get the "corrupted data" problem even though the data really isn't corrupted.

I'm an expert on privacy. If you read Meeker's 2014 Internet Trends, you read the slides that said "troves of findable and shareable data" were the "biggest re-imagination of all," as well as the next slide that warns "potential impact to personal privacy will remain [an] on-going challenge." If you are monetizing findable and shareable data, I want to ensure you conquer that challenge.

BTs upto 80, for this new network. 24 is for the old network.
A modern low-wattage bulb built for endurance could potentially last roughly forever. And during that time turn so much electricity into heat that you'd be asking for shorter-lived higher-temperature bulbs to save on energy costs.

With normal incandescent lighbulbs, electricity is about 95% of the costs, so if you doubled the lifetime of those bulbs, the most you could save would be about 2.5% of total costs, if the lower operating temperature of long-lasting bulbs didn't increase the electricity needed for the same brightness, which practically means that you probably would pay more overall.
I feel that achieving the 2MBps by next year will be very unlikely.

I live in a very rural area and over the past 3-4 years our internet has gone from poor (0.5MBps) to nothing. We were told by an engineer that the wire is so badly damaged that there is nothing that he could do and the majority of the wire from the exchange from our house to the exchange would have to be replaced. Its so bad landline calls are no inaudible due to the amount of noise coming down the line.

What did BT have to say about this? Absolutely nothing, there is a flag on our account letting the call centers know that there is nothing they can do for us. They just keep telling us to move ISPs. But everything goes down the BT line anyway so thats just moving the problem elsewhere.

(Its quite sad that I can remember the sequence of numbers to press when ringing up to get through to the tech support and then the script they used to ask when tried to resolve our issues.)

There are about 5 other houses with us, then about 4 miles before the next town, and then the exchange. In total we are about 5-7 miles from the exchange (which is fibre ready).

The problem for us now is that everyone just expects broadband of some form or another, its like a utility. Nobody wants to buy a house with no water, or electric and now people don't want to buy a house without broadband. So we've got to the point where we are trying to move house to get access to the internet but cannot sell our current house to get the funds to move.

EDIT: Also just like to add that I've looked into 4G and due to the landscape, it wasn't an option :(
Best of luck! Always enjoy a personal piece on branching out, even though I've been freelancing for a decade. Something to do with re-affirming past decisions, perhaps?

Always good to be reminded to break tasks down to manageable sizes also, as I've been caught by that old obstacle of 'task too big, do something easier' more than I should have been recently, given the number of times I've come across it before.

Handling low memory conditions in iOS and Mavericks
Systems like this were very common in universities, especially in the late 80s/early 90s. Thin client computing (or simulated thin client) went out of fashion after mid-late 90s implementations of similar things on top of Windows were massively disastrous.
Good work. I live a bit more urban, but our local council (kommun), i.e. the tax payers, owns the local network and we have eleven companies providing different type of services (IP, cable TV, VoIP etc) on the fibre. We have about half of the houses (6000 of 12000) and essentially all the apartments connected. Getting my house connected by fibre was one of the best things I have ever done. Ran a startup from the basement for a while.

Why we need a cyberwar treaty
It seems like this could be pretty easily fixed by just not allowing arbitrary usernames in the "and" parameter and instead using the currently logged in user.

It wouldn't fix everything, but it would mean you at least need to befriend someone in their network before being able to use this attack.
You can also create files on disk and add them to pools.

There's actually a trick you can use to create a failed ZFS array (e.g. if you want to create a 5+1 array with only five disks), where you use dd to create a sparse file of the appropriate size, which lets you create a '1 TB' file while only writing 1 byte to disk. Add it to your zpool along with the rest of your disks, then fail it out, remove it, and replace it with a physical disk.

It's a good way of taking a drive with 2 TB of data on it and adding it to a ZFS filesystem which includes that disk while also keeping the data, but without using a separate disk (or copying the data twice).

HW RAID does not read every sector blindly, there is a level of error detection there. And an errored sector in one read does not mean it errors in every read.

Now, the error detection schemes at the disk level may be insufficient. I don't know enough about how it's done on modern drives (but I suspect that every manufacturer has its own scheme).

Our laboratory actually employed hot desking for a bit, albeit out of necessity. We had a limited amount of desks (in an open office configuration no less) available, and they were distributed by seniority. All the graduate students, undergrads, and some post-docs were forced to share a small, hot room with long benches for doing computational work. There was also inadequate space in this room, so people would have to go elsewhere to do work at times. The results were literally disastrous. Tension built up among the people sharing the room, and also between people with and without desks. People stopped coming into work or would leave early etc. It was bad enough to warrant our purchase of another room to solely devote to personal cubicle space for these hot desking individuals, which also isn't perfect but it's better.

Moreover, "We don't hire anyone over 30" means "We don't hire anyone good".

That's not to say there aren't good people in their 20s. There are quite a few of them. But they want to learn from people who are better than they are. That's the trait of A players: they want to learn from the A+ players. If you don't have anyone over 30, then the good under-30 people you get will quickly leave.
