Hi Lionel,

I think those bids will be hard to have in 2014 with Adwords. If you are very specific on a landing page very coherent with your campaign, ad group, ad copies and keywords, you maybe can target 0,5$, if there is not a rough competition for them. Maybe you can lower your bid to appear in the last places, but in this case, you need a lot of impressions to be able to retrieve the number of visitors you want.

Maybe it's better to try to be visible in website like product hunt or betali.st (and plenty others). Or to give invite to community interested by your users.

cool. how about a comment on its usefulness? code quality? breadth of TOS it has ratings for?

"it's been around for years" doesn't add much value.
Firstly the large number of graduates in non graduate job belies this. It's a massive con that there are anything close to the same benefits accruing to everyone who gets a university education.

What should be happening more is people learning a trade. Germany's economic powerhouse status is not due to graduates nearly as much as skilled technical workers.
Why would i ever use Dropbox when there's a better more private option out there like btsync.

All you need to do is run your own server which I already do and you basically have the same functionality.
4 Secrets to Get Inspired, Motivate Yourself to Write and Make It Meaningful
I'm no expert on these matters, but it seems a bit ridiculous to call out entire swaths of the programming/computer science world while referencing the JVM as a benchmark.
The main reason this allows you to build an AR-style rifle is that US firearms law focuses on receivers (per U.S.C. Section 921(a)(3), which are in many cases quite easy to manufacture. For instance, many Kalashnikov receivers are made of stamped sheet metal.

The pressure-bearing parts, like the barrel or the bolt, are much harder to manufacture, at least for rifles. Most European countries will therefore regulate these, but they won't necessarily regulate ancillary parts like receivers or stocks. AFAIK, a full-auto AR receiver, which is highly regulated in the US, is treated as nothing more than a chunk of metal under UK law (as long as you don't illegally assemble it with a barrel and other parts).

[I was wrong; according to the 9th report of the Firearms Consultative Comity, Annex D, receivers are controlled as "component parts"]

Desmos - San Francisco, CA

-- About us --

Desmos builds great math software. If you love math, write great code, and care about education, then we want to meet you.

Check out a sample graph at https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bbhzdbudoy if you haven't seen our calculator before.

-- Software Developer (calculator) --

The Desmos calculator lives entirely in the browser. It incorporates a realtime LaTeX WYSIWIG editor, includes a full compiler pipeline to interpret unstructured user math input and transform it into meaningful and efficiently-evaluable code, and makes extensive use of modern web technologies such as web workers and canvas rendering. The calculator core is modular and well-tested code which powers our free-to-use desktop, tablet, and mobile versions, used by millions of students, as well as driving our API, which many of the world's largest education companies use to power their graphing and math input. There's a lot to do to make the calculator faster, more powerful, more featureful and more beautiful, build out mobile apps, and continue to grow the calculator API.

We're not big into hard requirements, but a love of and interest in math is non-negotiable.

If this is the right job for you, you're probably also interested in numerical and geometric computation, compilers, code generation, performance optimization, API design, CAS implementation and graphics.

-- Software Developer (lessons) --

Desmos is redefining what online math content can look like by treating the creation of each lesson as software development. Each lesson we build has unique interactions, streams realtime data to other students and to the teacher dashboard, and has to work effectively across a wide range of devices. Basically, we're building a new app every few weeks, each one designed by our team of world-class educators and designers. If you're not excited by a never-ending stream of ready-to-build projects that will each make a significant impact on a specific area of math education, this is not the position for you.

We need to see a demonstrated ability to create high-quality interactive experiences rapidly, and a love of math and teaching.

Bonus points if you've produced and maintained code in a high-throughput / multi-product environment, developed complex single-page web apps, built complex touch interactions, or spent time as an educator.

-- Why Desmos --

Here's what it means to work at Desmos.

* Great benefits: full medical and dental, catered lunch every day, unlimited vacation days whenever you need them.
* Productive environment: no mandatory meetings, bureaucracy, or artificial barriers. Full transparency and participation in company goals and direction.
* Competitive compensation: we offer substantial equity and competitive salary to every fulltime employee. We want everyone to feel both financially secure and deeply invested in the future of the company.
* Work-life balance: we value results over hours, and sustainable, long-term success over short-term wins.

You mean something like Dropbox autosync? There is a drop_upload option in the tahoe.cfg file. I believe it works fine on GNU/Linux. Not sure about other OSes. You could always use 'tahoe backup' command.
I left dropbox after they came out with the story about 2 files on different accounts that is only 1 time encrypted.

Resume: http://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis
I don't live on the coasts and all the waitresses and bartenders and coffee baristas here have some kind of liberal arts degrees. My wife's hairdresser has a degree in English Lit IIRC. All that's exploding with the beauty of a supernova is their debts and higher ed administrator salaries. One of the waitresses at the local restaurant student taught at my son's school, and it doesn't make the service any better.

Intentionally vocational training and education are confused. "I'll take out $50K of loans to get vocational training at uni to get a credential so I can get a great job" then get stuck waitressing because 40 were graduated for 10 job openings is a net loss. "I'll get an education so I have interesting things to think about for the rest of my life" is a net win, although probably not worth $50K when you can get it just as good or better for free elsewhere, just without the credential.
SEEKING FREELANCERS -- Remote OK (We're based in Hong Kong, something within a few time-zones is preferable)

We're a mobile communications startup based out of HK (both founders are technical guys from the valley, though).

And that's just your opinion. Other people, myself included, use their editor in a different way and slow startup time is an important consideration.
If you were making the barrel from scratch as opposed to buying off the shelf, yeah, it might blow up in your face. But that is the part prone to catastrophic failure. People have been making lowers out of HDPE (plastic) and it works just fine, it doesn't need to contain combustion, just hold all the parts together.
What of Dropbox's conduct do you disagree with?
Every time this comes people complain and whine that it would ruin the sub. I'm on the side that posting images should be banned. In subs I've seen this implemented it's helped content a lot.
"Pay attention to your Inbox and to the alerts on the AWS Management Console."

Especially with incidents like these (and other cases where instances are scheduled to be taken down), it really annoys me that AWS doesn't offer any push alerts besides emailing the account owner.
Yep, dropped Dropbox for SpiderOak ages ago due to a number of really poor security failings on Dropbox's part. (Remember the day they accidentally allowed blank passwords to login to anyones account?)
Just a reminder that BTSync is closed source and the protocol it uses has not been released.

Boycotting a service is pretty far from any kind of attack. Additionally it is a lot more than her political views. She played a central role in securing the legality of the torture program, authorized the warrant less wiretaps of UN council members, and was the National Security Advisor immediately before the Iraq war.

This is the free market at work.
And that's one of the fundamental flaws of the article: it attempts to asses the value of IQ or EQ with mean individual performance -- and completely ignores what matters most, which is of course group performance.
It might well be fugly but it works. That's the key point.

> Why would i ever use Dropbox

Because setting up and maintaining your own server is a lot more work than a click and a download. And a single server is a single point of failure, whereas Dropbox's architecture isn't, whereas downloads speeds will be limited to your upload speeds when you are away from home, whereas many other reasons such as sharing, and the Dropbox ecosystem.

I was under the impression that in France their universities are operated in similar manner and number as their high schools.

Combined with funding based only on the number of students provided by the govt. the quality in education possibly doesn't differ enough to provide any effect on social mobility.
Translation and Virginity
I just tried it, and voice dictation on the iPhone does a surprisingly good job with a well produced podcast. It's missing all punctuation of course, and tends to make a lot of mistakes on small words like prepositions. But for a first pass to edit from, it is surprisingly good.
> You clearly are not willing to deal with that, and as such are not ever going to be happy.

I'm pretty happy in Emacs. I'm not happy with false dichotomies, like this features/speed tradeoff. There is a real tradeoff to be made between those, but nowhere near the level I've seen in IDEs.

Many problems seem to depend on the way modules/extensions are implemented.

For example, we could implement plugins by allowing event listeners which can run arbitrary, imperative code. However, this leads to redundant computation (multiple "get(foo);" and "set(foo, bar)" calls spread across listeners), increases the chance of plugins conflicting due to race conditions, requiring very conservative scheduling, etc.

An alternative, like a hook/advice system, would have the core performing gets/sets exactly when they're needed, but give plugins the ability to override the return values using hooks (like a dynamic form of decorators). This avoids the redundancy, race conditions and scheduling issues.
and yet Karolinska University is 36th in the above list (the top university in the EU-sans-UK) while Stockholm University is 106th.

The higher education list is quite unrelated to normal person perception, imo.
Why can't they say that Light Table is a dead end and they discovered something else in the process (Eve)?
Your comment clarified exactly what is so willfully foolish about this whole enterprise.

"he wants a future where everyone has vast knowledge and a wide set of skills, and everyone has his own CNC multimachines, robots, all that"

It is a nice fantasy to imagine everyone everywhere being self sufficient, but unlike the movies, a single person does not have the time nor the mental capacity to become an expert at everything. Specialization begat the modern world (and vice versa).

Mao had a great idea to make everyone self sufficient by forging steel in their back yards to instantly industrialize. No one knew what they were doing properly, so you got massive quantities of nearly useless scrap, fueled by wasting previously productive inputs. The parallels are striking.
By that standard, you could also argue that China has far too many legs.
Lambdas in C++ are pretty new. Most of us who used std::algorithm had to write our own functor structs and do the variable capture by hand. Except that typically we didn't, because at that point a for loop is more readable. I think that's the essential objection to the STL: it's a library built around functional programming and not OO, in a language built around OO and not functional programming.

And of course there are a bunch of small dumb things in it. Why do we have make_heap() and friends instead of a heap type? Why does binary_search() return a bool instead of an iterator? Why didn't we get any hash tables until like 2010? Who thought the vector<bool> specialization was a good idea, and why didn't they benchmark it first?

The STL is a weird mix of brilliant, visionary API design and abject failure. Because of C++'s many limitations, the fail-y parts are the parts that most people are most familiar with. C++11 has done an incredible amount to turn that around, but at this point, for me, it's too late: I'd rather have a new language and new library, informed by C++'s successes without being bound to its mistakes.
Why do you think this is over engineering, what do you use for this?
Personally I tried duct tape, which leaves glue marks, and tends to become ineffective over the not-so-short term…
In the UK, most (admittedly not all) real journalism comes from mandatory government taxes paid to the BBC.

You're looking at the private college equivalent of journalism here, not a free public uni.
Eve's goal is to completely simplify and reshape computer programming at large? Oh. Well, best of luck to you.
When the software is typically used for SAAS products and not "distributed" in the same way as something using eg Qt libraries the business case isn't as compelling however.
I saw Dropbox on Snowden's files and dropped it as a sack of potatoes. Now I sync via HD. I do store some files I know I will share. It's been a year of no/low activity on my dropbox.
nice, it will promote more college education for people who drop of due to tuition fees.
Come on, really? Trying to portrait this as something sex related and partisan, really?

I am from nowhere near the U.S. and consider D/R pretty much the same and I immediatly switched from Dropbox and stopped recommending it to anyone. The appointment of mass surveliance advocate to a top position in a tech company that holds your data is a clear "we don't care about you, your rights and your opinon" message to privacy advocates.

I don't want to support a tech company that is strongly integrated with government/government departments/government executives.

Also the appointment of Rice could be a warrant canary, a hint to those paranoid, that Dropbox is not secure for other infrastructural reasons. But that's probably mine personal feel good fantasy:)
I want to do a similar project but for car dashboards.

Much like bike accessories we're always buying things like phone holders, fan holders, or CB radio handset holders. But these things never attach to the dashboard well because they depend on suction cups or clips to the vent grate (which aren't standard anyway).

All car dashboards should come with a 1/4-20 inch screw thread. Maybe two, one of the driver's side and a second for the front passenger. Then to accessorize your car, you just buy a simple cellphone clip which screws in.

The nice part about 1/4-20 is that it is already used for a ton of stuff (i.e. anything tripod compatible), so there are already accessories on the market for that screw size.
This isn't a general purpose CNC milling machine.

If you read the whole article, this is specifically designed to mill and drill the lower receivers of AR15, from a piece of aluminum stock called the "80 percent stock", which is a non-functional metal part that is only missing a few holes.

If you have grand ideas about bike accessories and other metal objects, you can buy a proper CNC mill which is a bit more expensive than this. Or pay for CNC machining service at your local machine shop. It's not super expensive.
As I understand it, the US is the only country that taxes you on income abroad. So why would there be double taxation elsewhere?
He keeps using the word "pointer" ...
I dropped them due to the Rice appointment. Granted, this decision was made much easier by the fact that I rarely used dropbox and had nothing important stored there (mainly photos from stuff I was selling on craigslist).

Also, definitely a partisan decision on my part. I'm sure if the appointment was a "liberal/democrat" with a similar record of facilitating NSA snooping, etc, I'd find a way to justify not dropping dropbox.
