Not to sound harsh, but you seem to have an unrealistic expectation about how rewarding a given job should be. The _vast_ majority of working folk do it for the pay check, then clock out at the end of the day and proceed to the part of their lives where their heart resides. Think about all the folks who works in retail, or food services, or manufacturing, not to mention agricultural workers, dish washers, maids etc. The notion that your career should reflect your passion is classist nonsense peddled by career counselors in upper middle class high schools and psychologically seductive but ill-conceived internet memes. You have a job that probably pays higher than the median national salary and doesn't expose you harsh physical conditions or toxic chemicals on a regular basis. Have some perspective and be grateful for what you have.

That being said: If you want a job that it is personally fulfilling to you on a reliable basis, then you need to take some risks. I would recommend either 1) starting your own company (it is your baby so you will care) or 2) freelance consulting (so you can pick your work).
Ah, I didn't realize that possibility. (What I have been doing in such case was just PTT through my headset that I am approaching so they can find me as I approach...)
Is it called linkedin?
Right. I don't believe that process sandboxing would have prevented what the FBI wanted to do here: unmask the identities of Tor users. I would be surprised if compromising a renderer at the moment didn't give you access to enough information for law enforcement to figure out who was accessing the site. (See the list of current leaks on the Site Isolation description [1] just to name a few.)

As a practical example, the FBI could slurp usernames and passwords from other sites the user has been to, then subpoena them to determine if they'd ever logged in without Tor, and so forth.

It's kind of strange that Angular seems to have more developer mind share but then when startups are choosing something beyond Backbone, they seem to go with Ember (e.g. this dashboard, Twitch, Vine, Square). I myself prefer Ember but it's still strange.
By tarnished, do you mean that it is an old brand, or that something bad happened to the brand that tarnished it?

I have many objections to basic income proposals such as this, but I would be very interested to see some states implement this sort of policy, so that we might observe the result. Unfortunately, I cannot imagine the federal government eliminating any of the existing Social Security or other wealth transfer programs, and they would likely obscure the findings of the basic income test program.

The best test I could imagine (to compare existing programs to the basic income,) would be for the federal government to grant waivers for all social welfare programs to some states, give them the equivalent amount of money, and have them each implement their own basic income program (at a level they see fit, with the state paying for any cost difference).
The result of the #class method does not _fully_ encapsulate an object's type (e.g. #extend, #define_singleton_method, etc may have been used to modify the object's type) but every Ruby expression does have a type in exactly the sense as used when talking about static typing; the only difference is when you can (in general) determine that type. The #class method is not orthogonal to type, it is merely incomplete.
In short, they build sites to provide people with information/services. A lot of these orgs have very basic websites and they don't use the websites as tools to further their goals.

My product helps them by basically doing everything for them. They don't have to worry about registering a domain name, setting up the hosting account, setting up the website, modifying it to look good, installing updates, running backups etc. etc.
Clearly you aren't a skier ;) I can't imagine seeking out a mountain town if you don't enjoy some sort of snow sport but the winters aren't as bad as all that and last maybe 4 months.

I moved to the Missoula area from Seattle. Summer is hotter but drier, winter is colder but drier and sunnier and I can ski powder most weekends.

I've come to enjoy a 20 degree dry day more then a 40 degree and drizzling day like we would get lots of in Seattle.

You are being disingenuous. Of course some of your points make sense in certain circumstances.

> we should ban talking to your passengers on a car too, right

That genie is already out of the bottle and would be impractical to implement. In any case it far less distracting talking to a passenger than trying to reply to a text or conducting what may be a serious conversation on a phone. Additionally the passenger can shut up instantly if (s)he sees a situation developing or even help bring your attention to it.

> both having a conversation and listening to music keep me alert when driving

On a long, boring trip, with very little to concentrate on, it can make sense to have the radio playing and someone talking to you. However on a rainy evening, in fast moving traffic, that same radio and passenger could get you killed and others with you. It is easy to turn off and ignore the radio and to ask your passenger, who can see the danger to please keep quiet for a while. It is a lot more difficult to ignore your phone when expecting that important call under these conditions.

> far the most distracting thing to me while driving? Constantly checking my speedometer

Seriously? Glancing at your speedometer is more distracting than a phone? Besides, glancing at your speedometer for a second carries far less risk than answering a text and having a fight with your girlfriend on the phone.
Thank you for posting this. I am a relatively new father, and I find myself thinking along similar lines: possibly the best job I have ever had, but if the right opportunity comes along for my wife, I would probably quit and follow her. Unfortunately, for financial and logistical reasons it is not a terribly good idea for me to quit now. Moreover, the possibility of working fewer hours doesn't readily exist though short periods of leave without pay is a possibility which I am getting closer to taking.

It is frustrating that no one talks about men balancing work and family.
Precisely. I've long wanted to build a HUD that could project on all the glass surfaces of my car. If I were building a HUD, it should be giving me a "heads up."

The windshield would have navigational aids, but any surface in the car could be used to display hazards!

I want my car to identify if a pedestrian is present (highlighted in yellow) or if they appear to be crossing my heading (highlighted in red.)

I want my car to tell me if there is cross-traffic that is about to run a red light. I'd like to see speed and distance indicators for other vehicles on the road.

I'd love to see the speed of traffic I'm merging into. When I glance over my shoulder to check traffic I can see: !! 64MPH | 72MPH !! in yellow, indicating I should merge faster if I'm able.

If my car detects emergency vehicles or construction vehicles the HUD could draw attention to it in my windows or mirrors.

---

Perhaps my HUD could identify vehicles occupied by "Tweeters" so I can be sure to avoid them?

We're making self-driving cars... there are countless ways to apply that same technology to human-driven cars that would make the roads safer for everyone. If the best they can come up with is song selection and social media: I think their priorities are a bit misaligned.

There are two things that pop to mind:

You can motivate or coerce your team mates to improve their skills so they all benefit. You can even ask your team leader/boss to be the lead of an initiative at your place to use better tools or technologies so that the productivity will increase. If you get an OK you'll even have an opportunity to spend some paid time doing something which will keep you sharp and improve your daily experience.

If you think you can't get the above to work or that you're way beyond the skills of your team, look for another job with better conditions.
From a libertarian perspective, I've always thought that the best aspect of a basic income guarantee is that it allows monetary expansion to occur broadly, eliminating the banking sector's advantage as an early receiver of monetary inflation.

That, by itself, is a huge step forward and a rare place where both libertarians and keynesians can find common ground.

On the other hand, it goes right at the heart of both the banking system and centralized political power. Which is why, sadly, it will never happen.
> We need a way to do digital signatures on images such that they cannot be faked.

This is almost impossible – the camera's processor can be tampered with and the environment can be altered (e.g. GPS spoofing).

The best we could do would be a notary service where a trusted third-party could produce a signature for a set of bits at a particular time. That would prevent either altering an unwilling third-party's photos or back-dating images after an important event.

All these are unreliable to an extent which suggests there will probably be a fair market for forensic photography software in the future…

Additionally, pilots rarely need second-by-second reactions. There are times when you do, and you want to maintain awareness, but the odds of crashing because you took 15 seconds to look at a map are extremely low. The odds of crashing because you're focusing on details and forget to keep track of where you are or how much fuel you have or other long-term items are much higher. The requirements for awareness in a car are completely different, where a brief lapse in attention can easily get you killed, but the long-term picture is rarely critical.
Seriously, what is up with that picture? What is the message or point that they are trying to get across with such a picture in that article? is it supposed to add any credibility to the guy or his firm?

Just because they make gigantic marketing campaigns about the new product doesn't mean it is as amazing as they claim.
I love Apple and their products, but they sure do brag a lot and try to seem more special than they really are.

It's not something that can be helped, really. It sells and therefor it'll keep happening.

All of those. Gaming has been steadily growing for a long time now and has reached a "major player" status, so the timing is good. They're obviously a very skilled group of people. And finally, great achievements require some luck.
This one was shocking to read. At first I thought the company is dying, but they basically switch the focus to twitch. I still remember when Justin's stream was all the rage. What a great time!
If it supports all characters defined by the Unicode standard, then it should. However, it wouldn't surprise me if Google blacklists the non-language symbols (like the emoji, shapes, etc.) because it is not within the scope of their goal. You can't read emoji like a word, so it wouldn't work well with the goal of making email addresses readable.
I like some of the arguments being made here. I would just have a few questions:

If the program involves no strings attached grants, and it is meant to replace existing welfare systems, what happens to people who blow their money on nonessentials? Is there a secondary net for them, or are they allowed to starve? What about bad parents who take the cash without providing for their children?

I understand that these questions are just as valid with our current system, but is there a way to address them within this new framework?
Unfortunately, not everything "worth burning a zero-day" to some misguided government agent is as clear cut of an activity to categorize as child porn.

Obviously, I mean, it's fine if the government just walks into your house once a week for inspection because, pff, what have you got to hide?
My dad was a helicopter pilot for the marine corps for 20 years and flew in desert storm and Iraq in the early 2000s. Growing up he was always in insane physical shape and actively participated and taught in Crucible[0] trainings. Part of it was certainly the 'culture' that surrounds the squadrons, but one day I asked him why he stays in shape when in war he'd never had to stand up to do his job? He told me the only thing separating him from a 'grunt' (ground soldier) was his helicopter, which the enemy could take away in an instant. The moral was you always train for the worst possible situation (being grounded behind enemy lines) and hope for the best (never having to stand up).

I would feel a lot safer if this product did not have an emphasis on something like texting.

If it detected you were at a red light, maybe it might be appropriate to display such, but please, not while a kid might be running in front of you, ignorant of your presence.
A lot of administrators and paper pushers are not going to be happy.

Maybe one way to fix it is daily direct deposit. That would keep the paper shufflers quite busy and cut back on scams and foolishness.

I would be moderately amused at an idea of modification of the IRS tax code WRT gifts and being able to delegate my income. I am doing really well financially right now, so just give my $10K to my mom as a tax free gift. If you don't make it tax free lets be realistic I'll just avoid tax codes anyway. $10K would mean a heck of a lot more to her than to me. I suspect when my kids enter college if the whole scam hasn't collapsed by then, they'd find my share plus my wife's share plus maybe auntie's share to be quite handy. Currently you could run into IRS issues WRT taxable income if many family members start gifting one college student.

(edited to add, I just thought of one problem with delegation: What boils down to extortion, and probably blackmail. You'll know everyone will be vulnerable.)

Instead, we could make "the golden years" between 25 and 45.
His comment is plenty useful. We've had computers around long enough that one doesn't need to provide a cost-benefit analysis to justify saying "this is stupid". "Check this out, I've got a box that can play movies. It can immerse you in a 3D video environment that you can interact with. You can talk to people thousands of miles away for free. It allows you access to much of the world's knowledge. It can solve numeric problems that would take years to solve by hand."

<a large portion of the world's population responds> "Yeah, that's neat and all. How come when I type my name all I see on the screen are squares?"

Perhaps it doesn't qualify for the "inexcusable" tag, but it sure seems pretty broken. "It's always been that way" doesn't strike me as a very good resolution reason for the bug.
It occurs to me that single-payer socialized medicine is basically a smaller, more specific version of Basic Income. Instead of trying to figure out how to get health care to people who can't afford it, just provide it to everyone, problem solved. It seems to have worked well there, which implies good things about Basic Income. Better, I'd say, since many of the problems people see with socialized medicine, real or imagined, don't apply to a plain cash grant.
Great comment.

Can you give a brief explanation about why Chrome would be harder to exploit than Firefox is when used with Tor?

You do get a lot of free storage to begin with, so it's great for small applications. It's very simple and powerful, but there's a service disruption pretty much every day and there's no point of contact for anything. They just say "use the forum", but 90% of forum answers come from this guy named Hector and he has no idea what he's talking about. I hear the same thing from paid clients, so if you're building something you don't want to be unavailable half the time, just use your own NoSQL implementation.
The very first image at the top of the page just sends chills down my spine. "Check out this rad video!" while I'm about to drive past a row of parked cars in a busy urban area.

You are quite right that the basic income would help monetarists and Keynsians increase the money supply more evenly, with less distributive problems, but I would not say that this is good from a purely libertarian perspective. Many libertarians believe that free banking is a much better system than our current system, and they would criticize the points you make as being of little benefit, and mostly being a distraction.

I think you make some good points, but I would have to think about this for a while before I could come to a firm opinion (because this is the first time I have heard your very interesting reasoning).
Good luck typing in those characters, or even knowing how to pronounce them if you had a "sounds-like" index.

Similar experience. I did two days solid with a couple of naps and passed out on some stairs breaking three bones in my foot, 2 ribs and dislocated my shoulder. My brain just said "enough of this shit" and taught me a painful lesson that destroyed me for 3 months.

7 hours minimum now and no stimulants (alcohol, caffeine, masses of sugar etc) and lots of water. Made a bigger difference to me than an exercise regime.
You should still pay for the content you consume. This is why these streaming sites get shut down so quickly. Watching a stream is no different than torrenting it or other means of infringing. You're watching a TV show without the rights holders getting any money. If you don't want the rights holders to get any of your money (whether it's because you cannot afford to pay, or do not want to pay), you simply should not watch the show, not find a free way around the system.
Theoretically I am a career manager but I feel more like a hybrid between that and an entrepreneur. I have done mostly management roles but more on the technical side, some individual contributor stints, and joined my last two companies quite early (8 employees and 27).
It's warranted for navigation, or possibly things like virtual mirrors. I wouldn't want to see text messages. Why not just use audio if it's so damned important to get the text?
Some of the points you're making dont seem to make sense.
For instance you say you dont have time to make interesting things but then say you only program 2hrs out of the day. What are you doing those other 6hrs? And what about side projects outside of work?

Another key point that lead to crud work is a lack of experience. If your fresh out of school most job offers you'll get will be fairly crud type work until you've shown your able to handle more.

Education can also play a role in this. If you have a bachelor's or no degree experience will be your best friend. If you have a master's or phd you can generally get into some more exciting positions out of the gate.

Where else are you looking for work besides hn hiring / freelance threads? Those aren't even close to the best resources for finding great jobs.

I can see from your green user name that you are a new user. HN does not look kindly on that kind of snarkiness you are putting in that comment and it is likely that whatever else you say will be ignore just because of that.

I recommand you rephrase such a statement to be more neutral in the future - you might actually get people to consider your complaint then.

My personal gripe is the dual fight between segmenting out our domain abstraction along with our concurrency abstractions.

That is, what makes your domain most understandable is not necessarily what makes it most amenable to concurrency. Indeed, it may be directly opposed to this.

This is particularly obnoxious in models where folks try to have a single Foo object that is used everywhere anything representing even part of a Foo is used.
