Rinse, Inc. - San Francisco (Design District), CA USA - www.rinse.com

Rinse is a technology-enabled dry cleaning and laundry delivery service. Our customers use a mobile app, our website, or SMS to schedule a delivery, and then we use sophisticated software and processes to 'level up' what is still mostly a pen-and-paper industry. We've been growing exponentially for over a year now; if you live in SF and haven't heard of us, you will soon!

Before considering joining our team, you might try out our service. Send me an email and I'll make sure you get a credit.

We're hiring Software Developers of all experience levels to solve problems ranging from the capacitated vehicle routing problem to image processing to linux kiosks. We're primarily Django + Bootstrap.js with a healthy dose of Celery + Heroku + Ubuntu. Big bonus points if you have history in the industry!

We're also hiring a Customer Experience Specialist. No technical skills are necessary for this role, but you'll need well-developed empathy and solid written and verbal communication skills. We have absolutely stellar customer satisfaction and retention statistics, and we aim to keep it that way! If you want to join a rapidly-growing startup in San Francisco, but aren't an elite hacker, here's your chance!

Finally, at our current growth rate, we're hiring part-time drivers constantly. If you have a car, a clean driving record, and want a part time job with evening hours, join us! The job is great for students, or perhaps those who want a little extra cash while bootstrapping their startup.

If you have any questions about any of these roles, please do not hesitate to email me directly at sam <at> rinse.com

I dropped Dropbox because Google Drive simply offered a better product in general for cheaper.

Dropbox is probably the LEAST feature-rich and mid-range to high in the cost part , compared to all the other file sharing services out there.

Seconded. I am slightly disappointed by this announcement. I backed LightTable because I really wanted to see an alternative to Emacs (for Clojure development). But I was hoping that by raising funding the team would be able to actually implement the tool. The hard parts. The parts that many projects never get around to implementing, because there is no funding.

I certainly didn't expect the team would be "revisiting some of the foundational ideas of computing" so soon.

LightTable right now is a proof of concept. A very good one, but still — it has a long way to go until it can become an everyday tool. Let's not leave it hanging there. If you continue on this path, you will leave behind a trail of half-baked tools, each one a great concept, but none of them actually useful.

Great question. I've been wondering why nobody (AFAIK) has done this. Seems like the only worthwile reason to do something as silly as rewriting TeX.

I dropped dropbox because Condoleezza Rice is a war criminal.
The OP (which I totally agree with!) also states:

> Such a compiler could properly determine that intermediate steps are unused, merge them (e.g. translate x.map(f).map(g) to x.map(x => g(f(x))))

Ironically, GHC does that already[0], and will also do TCO.

Apple devices have been able to upload files via HTML since iOS 6.

http://www.webmonkey.com/2012/09/new-html-tricks-for-web-dev...

If you want to incorporate Google Drive or Dropbox, go ahead, but know that many corporate environments block those services, which is why basic HTML file uploads are still the standard.

Ignores the value of a healthy productive member of society. What was that essay about burning Hobos for fuel?
I've been using Seafile, who continues to consistently improve the quality of their software. It's still hard to set up for non-technical people, but I think they may offer a hosted service for such individuals.

And to be clear, the actual client you install to make the backups is extremely easy to install and use, it's just the server that can be tricky to set up.
"Securities" includes more than stock--it includes debt instruments (i.e., bonds), equity instruments (i.e., stock), and derivatives of debt or equity instruments (i.e., options).

A cryptocurrency backed by shares in reddit would probably be treated as a derivative security, and would almost certainly be regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission.

Additionally--not sure what "former SEC" lawyer they talked to, but unless they structure this offering very carefully, they will run afoul of both state and federal securities registration laws. If they structure the offering to avoid those laws (which is legal, i.e., as a private or in-state offering), then the cryptocurrency would be so limited in its availability that only an extremely tiny handful of users would ever be able to own it unless Reddit goes public.

In that case , if these professions are valuable why not simply pay them more? If someone with a science degree only does science part time then that money should be diverted to people who intend to do science full time because there is a much better ROI.
A change in one constraint might allow you to move to a different point in the design space, but it doesn't change the physics by which the system must abide.

More concretely, replacing a human driver with an automated one isn't going to change all the physical constraints that make it inefficient to have cars that cruise at 100+ mph: http://energy-ecology.blogspot.com/2010/05/optimal-vehicle-s.... Whether you're in a Honda Civic or a Ford Explorer, doubling speed from 90 kph to 180 kph triples fuel consumption.

Even if self-driving cars can be a little lighter, that's not going to change the shape of the curve.
I hope Light Table doesn't get essentially abandoned, despite throwing in a final pity paragraph about it not being so. There haven't been any new Light Table updates recently and that's disappointing. It's not unusable as is, but it's lacking that last 20% of refinement and polish and perfect documentation and other things that makes good software into great software.
This is the best advice without getting an international business law professional involved.

Regardless of whether you're inclined to give them your money/time, their site is worth reading to get an overview of the specific issues here.
Without support, governments have no power.

In the past, it may have been rational to overlook deeds, such as war crime, to reach a Nash equilibrium which results in a net positive outcome. And it may still be the rational move to cuddle up with a metaphorical Hitler.

However, there's a strong argument to be made in changing the dynamic, and spurning people/companies who think it's justifiable to optimise for power, regardless of the human cost!

The costs are lost lives, devastated lives, and the tearing apart of 'other' nations.

Don't care? That's for each person to decide. It's not like anyone can 'legitimately' come and rip Dropbox from your devices... other than your government, of course.

> If you continue on this path, you will leave behind a trail of half-baked tools, each one a great concept, but none of them actually useful.

FWIW, I agree with you. This is our path, though, and the funding and the people we've brought on to work with us prove that. We're locked in to Eve and we think it will ultimately have far greater and for more lasting impact than LT ever could.

So the best I can say is that we're all in on Eve (both personally and now as a company) and I think that's very important for this to have a chance to succeed.
If you think they will be giving away stock then I have a bridge to sell you.

I never said anything about 'mainstream', catering to one of the most recent group of Reddit users (crypto-currency) .vs catering to the original groups makes no sense to me.
Maybe a free education, but add a screening process to measure the psychology of the student, help choose a profession or trade that will not be a waste of their time.
That seems like a really low amount to pay for tuition. In the US, many universities charge upwards of $20,000 per year, some as high as $100,000 a year.

Quick question: when the article calls a pair of mutually-recursive functions "corecursive", is this a commonly-used meaning of the term, or just a mistake (since they're certainly not corecursive in the coinductive sense)

So, the two groups actually pointed out by the parent post were "gun owners" and "people who don't understand guns"--we can infer the existence of "gun non-owners" and "people who understand guns". So, don't go putting words in their mouth.

That said, yeah, many gun owners don't really understand guns in the technical sense, and have very silly biases (consumer preferences, really) about what is a valid arm to possess. A lot of older hunters I've met, for example, get grumpy if they see you with any rifle that isn't a bolt-action.

I tentatively disagree with the problem of personal safety being solved in those other countries: you've stuck with the metric of "murdered", whereas there are additional ones still of note to the average citizen such as "assaulted" and "robbed". Also, we can trot out the tired refrains about diversity and whatnot and argue that those populations don't map onto ours, but let's save space.

I might agree that the firearms are not a good solution to the problem of personal safety, but they are a solution and one that has worked. I think that the problem that they help prevent is creating an irreversible monopoly in force and ensuing tyranny, which is what happens once you disarm your populace. As a veteran, surely you appreciate that.

EDIT: Changed qualifier on "one that has worked well" to "one that has worked"...don't want to blow my reply quota picking nits on the difference between "well" and "good".

Also, forgot to mention: parent's point about letting people who don't understand something regulate it is correct--if you can't even articulate the different sorts of firearms and differences thereof, why should you be allowed to restrict anyone's access to them? It's just as annoying as legislation about computer stuff.
This is like the Ancient Aliens series for numerology. For episode 2 I suggest the number 2. As a premeditation I suggest we all start to cogitate on the preternatural property of the number 2: it being a "magic number".
A casual glance at the deplorable accidental and unintentional discharge rates in the US statistics should make it immediately clear that

...there isn't a substantial problem therewith. Not zero, of course, but by your line of reasoning cars should be outlawed immediately because of the actual accidental & unintentional harm rates therewith ... and the same issue with guns being orders of magnitude less.

The problem isn't accidental casualties (those are in fact quite rare). The problem is people willing to cause grave harm to others, a group which does not include a vast number of people who are not willing to cause grave harm to others save for stopping the former from doing so - but whom you are quick to lump together. Break down US murder rates, and you'll find the bulk of the problem firmly within certain subgroups; disarming other US subgroups (as you advocate) won't solve the problem, as up-arming those groups has decreased murder rates in their areas.
I believe that there are laws in place from making the barrel at home. You can make a gun with a lot of the 3d printers as well.
1. Why not? Dropbox has decided to include a member of the torture program in their organization. It's an implicit admittance that she doesn't belong in prison.

2. Irrelevant, none of us are in a diplomatic post here but we're still all being spied on via any avenue by the NSA- dropbox being a confirmed avenue for this purpose.

3. I don't think you'll find too many people agreeing with you here. After all, it was the US and a few minor cronies (Poland, Georgia) going in alone, with the majority of our allies and all of the rest of the world saying we were making a huge mistake-- a mistake which has haunted us ever since, and caused many of our allies to turn away from us and seek more autonomy. "Doing a stellar job" at torturing people and knocking over governments is not a positive thing to say about someone.
student loans in the UK are provided by the government at relatively low interest rates. There is a minimum earning threshold before repayment can begin and a hard limit on the total proportion of income that can be taken for repayment. So no one is "at the mercy of the banks" and only a small number of people have been discouraged from attending university.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or New York City

I am a full stack Javascript & Ruby on Rails developer. I have been doing web development for over six years, starting with Wordpress & HTML+CSS and moving three years ago to mostly (but not exclusively) Rails & Javascript projects. Most recently I have worked with Lynxsy (www.lynxsy.com), a TechStars company automating recruiting, on a Rails app. And Triple Canopy, a non-profit art magazine, an Angular app with an innovative open source CMS.

In the past I have also worked with node.js, Sinatra, Python, Django, Ember.js & Objective-C/iOS. Amongst those technologies I particularly look forward to working with node & Ember again in the future.

Easily acquired. Your new hobby awaits you.
>You're asking other people to do your work for you.

Yes, I am.

>You are the one who's supposed to contribute your up/downvote.

But that's the problem. My upvote / downvote doesn't matter. If I'm in r/funny it doesn't matter how often I downvote unfunny things - the sub will still be inundated with garbage posts - subjectivity of humor aside. I don't mean "That joke didn't make me laugh", I mean there is nothing within the content of the post that indicates it's even an attempt at humor. The only thing left for me to do in the face of such a situation is to leave and go somewhere else. The only way for my vote (on posts themselves) to mean anything is moderator action.

I'm not (and I don't think anyone else is) arguing that every sub should have strict rules and moderation. But strict moderation is a necessary tool for many of the subreddits that I enjoy to exist. A lack of moderation would turn r/askHistorians into a swamp of ignorant hearsay, answers based solely on what one dude read on Wikipedia, and general misinformation in no time at all. The only vote that I have that matters on reddit is the vote for which subreddits I subscribe to, not the posts within those subreddits.
...And then have something in an entirely unrelated set of code change and make the code you oh-so-carefully benchmarked become half as fast. Because you just caused cache line aliasing, or your pushed your function code across a boundary, or you're now killing your branch predictor, or, or...

At this point, in any optimized language benchmarking parts of your code is practically useless for finer optimization. There are some things you will pick up on, sure, but trying to squeeze the last drop of performance out of your code? Good luck. Too many global interactions. I mean: even GCC doesn't generate statistically significantly faster code on O3 versus O2.

Thanks for elaborating. CRM does indeed seem like a good fit.
Why would it make any difference how poor your parents are? The only difference I can think of is that parents of rich students can afford to subsidise their offspring in studying a degree for which there is a negative ROI but why do we want people doing these degrees at all?

I think it also depends on the degree.

How many graduates in Political Sciences and Literature are there ?

How many job openings that require this specific knowledge ?

Most of my collegues graduating with me in Electronics were working in Italy within weeks/months of graduation.

But I generally agree that being available to everybody the degree in Italy is somewhat devalued.

I would love to meet you guys and offer you a drink.

I am not affiliated in any way with the offer or the company, but I'm interested into the topic and thought that there might be people who can afford this and have serious interest in it. Unfortunately it's too expensive for me personally, but there are people who go to professional conferences like TED, or are employed as an iOS developer and might find this worth it.
Social mobility may be low, but is the range of social/income disparity as high as in the US?
If some Gov Agency wants clone your phone's data, isn't the process as simple as get an NSL to own your email/phone number for a few hours, go thru the password reset sequence and own your iCould account and "backup" the data to a new phone they have access to?

An easier methods maybe to get someone from Apple Store to do password reset on a phone #. Any local police can probably do this - kind of scary now I think of it.

How can Apple or anyone prevent this?
That's the meaning I use.
This isn't such a simple story.

The current Scottish Government has been widely criticised by opponents for using cuts in the College budgets to fund their free tuition policy for Universities.

As colleges and universities are, sadly, still stratified by class in the UK this could have a detrimental on effect for social mobility in Scotland.

Amazon had to perform the maintenance due to XSA 108, and the timetable they had to meet was set by the Xen project.

They set up the maintenance to have as little impact as possible by splitting availability zones onto separate days so that people utilizing multiple zones for high-availability would not lose multiple zones at once.

Afterwards, they gave a detailed breakdown, linking to the vulnerability and explaining both why they had to perform maintenance and why they could not share more details upfront.

They also provided information on how to improve the fault-tolerance of your systems so that future issues like this won't stop your workflow.

Amazon isn't placing "fault" on users; they did a pretty stellar job of handling a nasty vulnerability and treating their users as well as possible.
With a sufficiently rich type system (with composites and sets as domains), there's not a lot of difference when you are talking about pure data (instead of how the data structure relates to behavior) between tuples and objects.
I'd avoid the public shaming but I would threaten legal action even if you aren't prepared to follow through. I might even hire your general counsel to write a threatening letter. And yes, stop working now. As you probably know you should have stopped months ago.
Research as well as number of graduates with noteworthy awards is a rather questionable metric, for someone chosing a university right now. The number of awards is particularly problematic due to the timeframes involved not to mention the fact, that you are probably going to study something different and thereby at a different faculty than those successful graduates.
