Just curious: I understand why titles might be reset to the raw title found on the page, but in this case it's just made the headline less useful.

I added a tiny bit of context when posting - to explain to people why this might be interesting to them. "Pythagorean 'greedy' cup - empties entirely if filled too much".

What's the purpose of reducing that to just the raw wikipedia title?

SEEKING WORK - East Coast (Boston, DC, NYC) -- willing to go on-site at the drop of a hat.

We used to, and still do, develop a lot of MVPs (2 or 4 of our MVPs got acquired for approximately 30x what we dev'd them for), but moved into the reporting, BI world. So it's more ETL and OLTP -> OLAP to Data Cubes and MDX these days. Front-ends are usually done in the traditional SPA usually with Knockout and React.js). ASP.NET C# since 3. WebForms, and classic.

We still do develop MVPs in iOS and Android for around $30k-50k for mobile applications and we also still specialize in turning around failed projects (we have an unbelievable amount of customers who went to odesk and got half-written products for $6k-- we fix these.)

Then there's the un-sexy ERP/CRM/PPM stuff. Tons of SAP ECC/Basis/ByDesign experience. Dynamics CRM/XRM and NAV. A bit of AX but just enough to hack around.

Probably not the venue to espouse this talent but, hey, in case you have a legacy business that needs work, especially BI work, our small shop is the Bain (or BCG?) of analysis. E.g. we integrated 3 segmented products (1 COTS, 2 dev'd in house), generated a dashboard where managers could choose their KPIs and generated ~485k in revenue (~35% above forecast) while eliminating redundant labor.

Cleared for federal TS/SCI.
Willing to travel for week long+ engagements.

Nice suburbs will likely always be outliers since we're talking about an income group that can afford the extra expenses; I'm talking more about families in the $50K-100K yearly household income that work in NY but live in Jersey as my example. Those people will likely move into closer, more urbanized locations as time goes on.

The matter in schooling is reflected by the district budgets, which are highly dependent on the tax base of its population (probably one of the biggest factors of inequalty in the US, but I digress), so as soon as you get wealthier people moving in and caring about teacher quality that will catch up. Gentrification also means that poor people end up moving out, so people with less opportunities will go to elsewhere (a huge topic by itself).

When a drive in a RAID10 array dies, then the data on that drive is still directly available on a drive that's not protected by redundancy, and the other half of the data is still protected. Rebuilding the array requires reading a single drive without error. Rebuilding a RAID5 requires reading n-1 drives and computing parity without error.

Interesting point, it reminds me of the 60 Minutes story of this kid [1] who showed signs of autism and was starting to become very inward-focused and withdrawn until his parents decided to trash the therapy and encourage his own exploration... Seems to have really changed his disposition to be far more communicative and most certainly affected the direction of his life. (Whole video is decent, but ~7:00 on is his parents)

Close.co - San Francisco, CA. Local candidates only, contract to full-time.

We're a seed-funded startup (<10 people) based in a SoMa loft. We're hiring for both our back-end and client teams.

Business development still revolves around spreadsheets and LinkedIn, and it's time to fix that. We're building data intelligence tools to help people be more efficient navigating the people they do business with and the industries they operate in. We've launched a marketplace for exclusive deal-making, and we're working on a scalable enterprise offering.

Our company culture is all about initiative, ownership, openness, and thinking like a hacker. This is a great time to join and have significant influence over the future of the company and product.

Hiring a Rails engineer for our user-facing app, and a Python data engineer for the back-end (Flask/web stack facing or machine learning/systems facing). We're also looking for someone on the business development/operations side, ideally with experience in one or both of the startup and corporate BD world.

We're open to data consulting projects, as we have a bunch of experimental data ideas we want to investigate, but our main goal is to expand our core full-time team. We always do contract-to-hire regardless.

Read more on my take on what we're doing (I lead the data team, among other things): https://medium.com/p/a1d3757d3567

I understand this sentiment, but is there really a way to do this without simply recreating or emulating vim? I can't really think of a way to compose complex, precise actions ("delete the next 4 lines", "undo changes on this line") purely with mouse clicks or swipes like you can with keystrokes.

Every GUI text editor requires a combination of a cursor and keystrokes to accomplish things like this, and they probably will for a very long time.

Yeah, but Facebook kind of has different use cases. Unless you're really trying to do some form of "stalking" (I don't mean this literally), there's not much use for a search feature while logged out.

Twitter on the other hand is very useful to use when you're logged out. Plus Twitter DOES let logged out users search, with the exact same search abilities as any logged in user, but they simply hide the functionality until yo're logged in.

SEEKING WORK - Remote OK (or Toronto)

I am a full-stack web developer and have been freelancing for a couple years now -- previously I was the CTO/cofounder of an acquired startup, and I have more than a decade of professional development experience under my belt.

My preferred weapon of choice is Ruby on Rails and its associated stack -- I've been working with Rails for 8 years, so I know the entire stack and ecosystem backwards and forwards. Other alphabet soup: Coffeescript, jQuery, Heroku, AWS, Ubuntu, Vagrant, etc.

I am looking for contract/freelance work on large or small projects alike. I frequently work with US and other international companies remotely (with site visits if necessary).

Right, so for a single person earning £35k going to a bank and getting 3.5 times earnings they'll have £105k to spend. How is a 200-300k property in a frankly awful outskirt of London (sorry) considered an acceptable situation?

The quicker the correction comes the better for everyone, this ongoing speculation/bubble of London property is disgusting.

I dunno... that article you linked has this part in it:

"Springpad co-founder Jeff Chow, who previously worked with Janer at Third Screen Media (acquired by AOL), is joining Google in Kendall Square, along with Springpad’s top four engineers:"

Sounds exactly like an acqhire that somehow instead became a poach. And a pretty rip-the-heart-out poach too. I can't think of any start-ups that could survive that kind of talent loss. I envision some upper-management person suggesting buying SpringPad, Google-execs veto it, but said upper-management person secured the funds to poach out the core.
Connexity - Los Angeles & Ventura County

We're looking for sharp folks eager to unlock the value of big data. We serve billions of transactions per day with super low latency through our online advertising platform. At that scale, every contribution to our platform can have a huge impact.

We hack on C, Scala, Rails, Redis, Hadoop, HBase and Postgres. We're likely to get into Spark and Storm in the near future. We don't expect you to be an expert in any of these technologies. In fact, I joined the team as a full-fledged .NET guy. More than anything we're looking for the right kind of can-do folks who thrive on building solid systems.

We offer a competitive salary, paid lunch, medical/dental, and uncapped vacation.

Maybe you've been wanting to learn Scala. Maybe you've tinkered with Kafka/Storm on a few EC2 instances but never had a chance to work with a ton of data. We want you. You'll be joining a sharp team with a strong appetite for progress.

I'm one of the engineers, and I'd be happy to chat about our team even if you don't have a resume or consider yourself actively looking for a new gig. If you'd prefer to jump directly into the HR channel, I can connect you with the right folks. Email david.larsen@connexity.com.
Based on my OP, I meant it makes sense NOT in a moral way, but in a physics way. They are responding to their incentives as you would expect from any mammal.

However, as was pointed out in another comment, the main justification of '25 minutes for backup' to explain the brutality is, in fact, false. LAPD response time is ~6 minutes (still, gotta see the data, the sigma on that Gaussian may be an hour or 30 seconds, we don't know).

I agree with you, the people of LA need a better police force than this. However, they do not agree with us. If they did, you would see, at the very least, greater voter participation. Eric Garcetti was elected with a 23% voter participation of REGISTERED voters, of with there are 1.8 million in LA [0]. This was the lowest rate in 100 years. Doing the math, that mean only ~10% of Los Angelenos bothered to vote. Garcetti got a 'mandate' from ~6% of the population here. If LA wanted to see change, you'd see a much higher rate than that pitiful amount. The people of LA, for worse or better, must think things are just fine as they are.

My personal experience is that it is worse: being surrounded by people just highlights the feelings of being alone.
Think about the roles of a PMM --- customer discovery, pricing/segmentation, roadmap.

In a single-product startup, which is what most startups are, the whole company is doing these jobs. Product/market fit might not be established, or might be just months old, so the people doing sales are also doing customer discovery. The management team is agonizing over pricing and isn't ready to delegate it. The CEO might be reading every commit, and the roadmap is obvious.

I was a PMM for a couple years, and the role was described by a friend to me as "president of the product". In an organization with multiple products, you can need that role; one person keeping track of every business facet of every product doesn't scale. But you don't delegate roles until you need to. Like Jason Fried recommends (paraphrasing): hire when you've gotten so good at a role that you're tired and can't keep up with it anymore.

Idea can win or lose depending on how quickly the consumer "gets" it
I feel the biggest thing differentiating child geniuses is that they get things done on their own without being told to. They'll explore the world, they'll naturally have a thirst for learning, etc. The worst thing you can do to a kid like that is to give them the kind of "guidance" you give normal children. They're fine on their own; it's pushing them into a structure that screws them. But often the programs designed to coach genius children think of coaching as the kind of help you'd give normal children.

I find it interesting that society thinks it's important to "guide" genius children. A question I'd like to ask is: what exactly do these children lack that we need to compensate with guidance? Children who get things done on their own just need space.

Developers - FULLTIME, INTERN

Statisticians - FULLTIME

We're a well-funded, non-profit tech startup; everything we develop is free and open source. Openness is inclusivity, and it's a driving principle in our organization.

We're hiring developers that love open source and want to change science by creating and connecting web-based tools that make being transparent easy for scientists--allowing them to remain or become more efficient in their daily workflow.

We're also hiring statisticians that love open tools, value reproducibility, and enjoy teaching and consulting on both.

We strongly encourage applications from members of groups underrepresented in science and technology industries.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote (SF Bay Area)

I'm looking for a Drupal 7 developer with very strong experience themeing, creating complex Views, and writing custom modules. Looking for someone who believes in doing things the "Drupal way" as opposed to creating short-term hacks. Must be comfortable with git. Organic Groups experience is a plus.

We'd start you out with a small, paid project setting up a slightly-more-complicated-than-usual View on an existing site and then themeing it, to see how you do. If we're a good fit for working together, I have a number of large projects in the pipeline I could use your help with on an ongoing basis.

I'm looking for someone who is a full-time, independent freelancer -- i.e, someone's who's available to collaborate/Skype/email during typical US working hours.

Get in touch via the email address in my profile and let me know your Drupal.org ID, and any relevant D7 sites that you've built (and your role in them). Thanks!
