How does one really test for emotional intelligence? Emotional intelligence is by definition difficult to quantify. For that matter so is problem solving ability; a five minute problem solving exercise does not seem sufficient. Did they account for years of experience in sales? Were all the salesmen selling the same thing? At the same location? What about height? What about looks?
I just installed it for the first time, opened a few files and it seemed OK, then I read the comments here.

Next I tried rearranging the tabs around and it took seconds? for the drop of the drag-n-drop motion to register.

This is why I lol about everything being re-invented in the browser and rewritten in javascript. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
What does it mean to sell a machine the sole purpose of which is to exploit a "legal loophole"? Can't the machine be made illegal the minute it's available to the public?

You can't sell all the ingredients, tools and instructions to build a meth lab ("Breaking Bad in a Box"!) so what's so different with a gun?

CITYMAPPER (LONDON, UK). https://citymapper.com
Full time software engineers in London. OK to relocate exceptional candidates.

Recent HN post! (help us solve the problems mentioned) Citymapper is what happens when you understand user experiencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8238260

We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to help navigate and use cities. We're a VC-backed startup (Balderton, Index, Greylock, Connect) based in London with a team with backgrounds from Google, academia and startups.

We're looking for great people first and foremost, but especially the following roles:

- Routing. We're reinventing getting from A to B in the world of mobile, multi modal and real-time data.

- Infrastructure engineer. Be responsible for our platform in the cloud, shape the tool chain, and ensure that the moving parts of our system can communicate, so that we can expand to all the cities in the world.

- Android and iOS developers. We're reimagining mobile interfaces and developing all the features that we dream about. You care about the "little big details" and know the grotty implementation details required to make things work across a range of devices and future platforms.

- Data pipeline/data science/analytics. We're building an omnivorous transport data processor that fuses together loads of data sources, and a psychic city brain.

- Software engineers. We're looking for great engineers to solve a range of other big problems, including search, data analysis, natural language processing. We use a lot of Python, and some C and Java.

Creating DSLs in JavaScript using J-expressions (2012)
This explains some weird EC2 stuff we saw yesterday. A good reminder to check up that a box starts up as expected (mounts disks, starts services, etc). It's easy to get lazy about that sort of thing when you're moving fast.
A problem with that graphic is that it's not adjusted to the local purchasing power. 1000€/year is very different for someone who earns, say, 1440€/month (minimum wage in France) compared to someone who earns 505€/month (minimum wage here in Portugal).
I think the point is if you could build these into hardware. Is the reason this is popular for GPU programming, if I understand correctly. Consider, if you can use this, you can now sort 1024ish elements in 10ish cycles, instead of 10240ish ones. That is rather impressive.

It is algorithms like this that get people very excited about the potential that FPGAs pose, if I understand correctly.

Unless, of course, I completely flubbed my understanding and or math. (Very very possible.)

And then, of course, your point ultimately stands as to why these are not more widely known. For most of us, we have a fixed set of comparators that is very small.

Bing is a clone of Google and Yahoo is a clone of... DuckDuckGo? Call it what you want, here are just a few distinctions:

- built-in night mode (reddit does not have this)

- responsive design which works great on mobile out of the box (reddit does not have this)

- limited voting (new users need to gain a certain amount of points before they are able to vote without restrictions, reddit does not have this)

- limited number of owned subs (reddit does not have this, one person can and does moderate hundreds of subs)

- youtube-like score bar which graphically shows percentage of upvotes/downvotes (reddit does not have this)

- user profiles which show statistics about user activity, for example, submission distribution and highest-lowest rated submissions (reddit does not have this)

- better privacy, users can delete all data stored about them if they decide to leave and close their account (reddit does not have this, all data is kept and public even after user deletes his account)

- youtube-like revenue sharing model (in development) where community is rewarded with real money (reddit does not have this)

- based in Switzerland, no censorship policy as long as content is legal (reddit is like North Korea when it comes to this, censoring thefappening but leaving sexwithdogs)

- no blatant ad submissions posing as regular posts policy (examples: a photo of a starbucks cup with a cute kitten inside which frequently reaches reddit frontpage or a video titled "look what I filmed with my GoPro")

- ...constant dialog with community and very open to new ideas and improvement

I hope this answers your question.

The ambulance thing is a genuine risk in the US, but you're probably getting a very skewed view about American police.

The vast, vast majority of American police are friendly and helpful to the average citizen. I've called the police about all sorts of things and had professional interactions each time. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I needed to, and I live in a city with a reputation for iffy cops. In my personal experience, that's not how it's been.

Of course, I'm middle class and white. When I had long hair and drove an old car, my experiences were somewhat different, but not that bad even then. Enough, though, that I can imagine if I was a different race or economic class my experience would be different.
I think you're right. It's all about scarcity, ultimately:

http://journal.dedasys.com/2007/02/03/in-thrall-to-scarcity/

It can be very tricky to find something that's scarce enough with an open source project to make money at it.

In any event, I'm happy for him!

"[...] way past the point of marginal returns in terms of social or cultural advancement [...]" - how do you measure that? We have just started.

More free education is always better, and as a bonus it forces society to automate mindnumbingly boring jobs when there is nobody left willing to do them. Imagine all People on Earth would have a university degree, good all-around education and culture would explode with the beauty of a supernova way beyond even our wildest imaginations. But no, some people need to be kept uneducated so they are willing to take shit jobs in the dust to serve the few chosen ones. All for the sake of "marginal returns"(?), which seems more important than humanity itself sometimes. This way of thinking must end. The sooner the better. Get educated.

I have to agree with the initial comment on the article, this is a fear mongering piece. Anyone that has a working knowledge of firearms can put together a usable weapon using readily available parts. In fact, a trip to home depot is all you need in order to build a crude (and pretty dangerous) shotgun. I also think it goes without saying that a criminal would probably opt to spend the $1,200 required to buy this CNC device on a weapon (or weapons) that have already been assembled.
Why has no one brought up how the top German university is "ranked" 55th on this list:

http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-ranki...

I'm not saying this list is definitive or that the US tuition prices are reasonable, but it stands to reason that the best of the best of anything is going to be exponentially more expensive than it's next closest competitors.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

Greetings! I'm a generalist web dev / mobile dev with some design thrown in. Possibly one of those unicorns you here about - or at least a similar looking horse.

Need an app for iOS and/or Android? Need your MVP web app building out? Need some Wordpress guff sorting out? Then I can do those things! And more besides!

I've worked on everything from MVP's, Wordpress sites to big e-commerce, travel sites and both Android & iOS apps for clients both large and small.

Keyword bingo: PHP, HTML, CSS, JS, Web, Mobile, iOS, Android, Bootstrap, Wordpress, Codeigniter, Laravel, nodejs, AWS, Photoshop, UI, UX, SEO.

I'm more used to git these days but in a former life I've worked with mercurial too.

Email is in profile - happy to show you a big list of previous projects & apps and discuss your requirements.

I'm UK based but willing to travel for something interesting.
You are right, π times is the monadic "circle" function... Still trying to learn fluently all operators. And indeed, it's not a specially good example, but I don't have a lot of APL code written (the "nicest" being a Mandelbrot set one-liner), the "longest" being this one and a function to generate histograms, but way harder to read, since it uses quite a few operators:

∇a←n hist x
⍝ Histogram data from x in n buckets
s←x[⍋ x]
mx←¯1 ↑ s
mn←1 ↑ s
bk←mn+(⍳n)×(mx-mn)÷n
a←+/(~(↑bk)<s)
s←((↑bk)<s)/s
bk←1↓bk
LOOP:→(0=⍴bk)/END
a←a,+/(~(↑bk)<s)
s←((↑bk)<s)/s
bk←1↓bk
→LOOP
END:
∇

Not brilliant, and even at the time of writing (5 or 6 months ago) I had the feeling it may be possible to write it loopless or close enough. Variables in this one are still "global" since (even if it works) I was still checking it for possible bugs.
Couldn't they do what IntelliJ does and spin off some threads to handle the work in the background ?
But could that not also be extended to any other programme which benefits the more wealthy disproportionately?

If you have two people who earn the same amount of money and one receives a service (university education) and the other does not. Does it make sense to split the costs of that service if the one who received it can afford to pay on their own?

Brand Networks (http://bn.co/) is hiring mobile engineers for our office in Shoreditch, London.

We're looking for mobile developers to help us build beautiful, intuitive and robust analytics and media buying tools for our customers.

You would be joining a small and talented team building applications using IOS, Android, AngularJS, Javascript,
TypeScript, NodeJS, go, Ansible, Docker and AWS.

WePay.com - Palo Alto, CA - Full-time (Relocation assistance provided)

WePay is looking for talented and motivated software engineers to join our rapidly expanding team. Our transaction volume has more than tripled year-over-year, and we need your help to scale our customers’ payments to even higher levels over the next few years. We are eager to grow our team of engineers who love programming, take pride in the quality of their code, and are at least decent at ping pong (rock climbing is a nice-to-have).

Requirements:

You must be a great coder that loves to write efficient and maintainable code. We believe that great coders can adapt to whichever new language they need to, whether it’s Java, Python, PHP, Javascript, C++, Scala, Ruby, or any other SEO-optimized buzzword, so we don’t care what background you have (unless you have solely coded in brainfxck). And in fact, we have outgrown our current PHP-MySQL environment and are in the process of architecting our next-generation service-oriented architecture, so we will be excited to make full use of your experience and perspectives as we select the right tools for the job.

You must be able to take complete ownership over a bug, feature, or entire project and drive it to completion. We have to trust that each of our team members can work in relative independence because we hate micro-managing.

You must be open-minded, flexible, and have a pragmatic approach to solving problems. The payments industry can be baffling at times, so we value people who can persevere and continue to make progress with a positive attitude.

One or more of the following specialized skills would be awesome:

* Front-end expertise, including JavaScript, CSS, AngularJS

* Back-end expertise, including extensive database experience

* High Availability and Distributed Systems

* Big Data experience, including Hadoop and/or Storm

* Machine Learning and Modeling

* Experience in Risk and Fraud Detection

* Experience in payments and PCI compliance

* Expertise in Security

* Team Lead experience

If you have any interest or questions about WePay, please contact me directly at steven at wepay.com. I'm an engineer, not a recruiter, so your email will get a response.

The HOPE scholarship used to pay full in-state tuition for full time students. It pays a bit less now, and that started around 2009, though they grandfathered in existing HOPE scholarship students.

Program rules: https://www.gacollege411.org/Financial_Aid_Planning/HOPE_Pro...

Payouts based on credit hours taken: http://www.gsfc.org/main/publishing/pdf/2012/hope_award_amou...

There's still a gap though, because of how GT's tuition works. The cost for under 6 hours is $2,675, and the cost for more than 6 credit hours is $4,501. The highest HOPE payment is $3,390, leaving you to pay roughly $1200 a semester if you take 15 credit hours. If you only take 12 hours (more realistic for GT students, particularly in later years), the state picks up $2,712, leaving you with $1800 a semester to pay for.

Of course this is tuition only. There's still mandatory fees of over $1100 (this has increased a lot since I was there, I seem to remember $500 or so) and optional fees, as well as dorms & food plans.
Yeah, and the editors treat them like shit and put their own propaganda slants on their articles.
