California Lemon Law
If you decided to pursue legal action under California Lemon Law, you have to learn more about it. Do not forget that, under Lemon Law, your representation is to be 100% cost-free, meaning there is no risk involved when you contact a lawyer concerning your Lemon Law claim.
If your vehicle has been out of service or in the shop for an extended period of time, you may have a lemon on your hands.

The alternative for Angular framework is not using a framework.

As long as you keep tying yourself to a framework, you will encounter the same situation as Angular 1.0.

Don't do it.

Just pick libraries that does one thing well and wire them together yourself.
I really like KnockoutJS, having used it on multiple projects, both personal and professional. Many will say that it can't really be apples-to-apples compared with Angular since it's technically MVVM, it lacks many of Angular's features, like dependency injection etc. etc. And that's all true. But, the end result for me is that I'm able to rapidly build sophisticated client apps. I'd have to dig up the links, but there are some pretty complex front-end apps i.e. website builders and the like, that were developed using KnockoutJS.
Conversations is a nice XMPP client for Android. It's under GPLv3, is in F-Droid and Google Play (costs 1$ in Google Play, though) and is probably the best XMPP client for Android :)
<sarcasm>
didn't he already solve this problem in the past? (RUP) </sarcasm>
O'Reilly has a beginner's book called Learning Android that steps you through an example in multiple stages. This book was recently updated to a second edition. The tutorials at developer.android.com have been greatly improved over time and are, in some aspects, the best place to get started.

when even the math wasn't fully formed

You'd be surprised by how much of today's used mathematics is actually "old". I mean most of it (even the mathematics of electromagnetism) hasn't changed since the 19th century and before, we are using the same theorems they used at the time.
I really appreciate it. DRF is awesome.

Introducing Glimp, real time footage through your phone
Glimp -coming from 'Glimpse'- is our new way of giving our users access to real time footage of what’s happening now around the world. Whether it is an event, concert, news or a social trending topic. By taking a glimp, check in, add the description and air it so that your friends and whole world gets to explore it. A glimp is a 24 second video that you record when you instantly want to share the moment. For example, you can see what’s happening in a certain conference, Beyoncé concert , football match or night club through people taking glimps there. It is a map based application where you roam the world and choose where you want to see glimps. Moreover, smart search helps you to look for a certain user, hash tag or location (locations are powered by Foursquare). You can follow your friends and other users that air interesting glimps. So how do we guarantee it is live and not old post? Simply any glimp is taken through the app only and live for all users on map and user’s profile only for 12 hours and then it disappears. To show appreciation you can ‘airplus’ a glimp and that automatically gives the glimp more minutes to stay on the map with maximum limit of 24 hours.
Our alpha version is now ready and we would be happy to know your feedback by sending it to your iPhone. Our beta version will be on the app store in couple of weeks. You can visit our website at www.glimpnow.com and Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Glimpnow

If you have ever driven around Texas, you will see "farmland" like this all over the place. A random factory or warehouse with cows grazing around it is quite common, even in the greater Austin area.

Like other's have said, it's for tax reasons. I figured they didn't even bother trying to make an actual profit from the farm, but maybe in this SpaceX case they will since the scale is so large.
The Channel 4 Data Planning & Analytics PhD Scholarship 2015 – London, UK

An opportunity to work with cutting-edge data science technologies while carrying out pioneering research at University College London.

This five-year scholarship programme is giving two graduates the opportunity to study for a PhD in Statistics at UCL, fully funded by Channel 4. To learn more about the faculty and research at UCL, please visit: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/statistics/research
At the same time, a salaried role with Channel 4’s Data Planning and Analytics team will provide practical real-world experience. Right now the team’s cutting-edge projects include working with the Hadoop stack, developing in R and Python, machine learning algorithms and data mining toolkits.

––––––Data Planning and Analytics at Channel 4––––––––––

We’re passionate about data and unlocking its value. We apply advanced analytics techniques, machine learning and artificial intelligence to better understand our audiences. That way, we can build stronger relationships with them and shape our future programming around their behaviours and preferences.

It’s a pioneering approach: applying analytics in the broadcast industry at this scale has never been done before. So you’ll be part of a team that’s helping to reshape the media landscape – and ensuring that Channel 4 is at the forefront of the evolving world of connected viewing.

––––––––What will you be involved in?–––––––––––––––––––

It’s a fast-paced industry, so things are changing all the time. Principally though, you will be contributing to large-scale projects across any number of areas – like employing data visualisation to map the content universe. We can then answer questions like “which other shows would a male Made in Chelsea viewer be interested in?”

––––––––The future––––––––––

There will be opportunities to progress within Channel 4 – and potentially to fast-track to a more senior leadership role. Alternatively, you may choose to use the experience and knowledge you’ve gained to build an academic career.

–––––––What are we looking for?––––––––––

It goes without saying that you’ll share our passion for data. You will be equally fascinated by what we can learn from it. For qualifications, you’ll need a 1st class or high upper 2nd class BSc degree or an MSc with Merit or Distinction in mathematics, statistics, computer science or a related quantitative discipline. Ideally you should also bring some practical experience gained in a commercial setting.

Closing date: 5 January 2015.

Our commitment to diversity doesn’t end with our programming.
Preparing Your Freelance Business for the New Year
It's not apparent from the post or a skim of the linked article, but "via Schneier" is apparently because Schneier links the article here:

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/12/putting_nsagc...
In concept it's great, the problem is that when one says e.g. "ve had 23 variables" I for one tend to read it as a bad German/Russian impression.
Academia.edu | https://www.academia.edu/hiring

Full Time Engineers | Downtown San Francisco (near the Montgomery BART Station)

We have a very agile group of 12 engineers at Academia.edu in Downtown SF. I joined them because I really respect the problems that they are working on. Are you aware of how inefficient, inaccurate, slow and costly, scientific publishing is? In fact, the vast majority of peer-reviewed scientific research that gets published is actually not reproducible. Imagine a world where scientists can share their research more quickly, obtain greater peer-review coverage, and innovate faster. I joined because I wanted to contribute to building this disruptive Open Science platform.

Below you can find some more info about the company and the general mission of Open Science below if you're interested in the subject.

The tech stack here consists of Rails, Coffeescript, Backbone, PostgreSQL, hosted on AWS. I'd like to tell you more about our team so ping me at ashley@academia.edu so we can set up a quick call.

Ashley J.

More about the company:

According to EdTech Magazine we are tech underdogs who are “key disruptors among open-access publishers.”

http://www.edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2014/06/open-ac...

And we are viewed by Wired as “a key player in the movement toward open access scientific publishing.”

http://www.wired.com/2014/07/incentivizing-peer-review-the-l...

We have 15MM users who support our mission and we are growing 10% per month. We are financially backed with $17MM by top VCs including Khosla Ventures, True Ventures and Spark Capital.
I'm curious about the peaks and troughs in the graph. It seems the graph reaches a peak every week, does anyone know a reason for this?
So you're suggesting to go back to the PHP era where everyone else was writing their own framework? Okay so yeah there's some good libraries out there that will make things easier, but you - and many others - are still telling people to basically write their own framework.

If that's not going to cause fragmentation and headaches for other developers that need to work on that project, I don't know what will.
Young whipersnapers and their throw the old code away syndrome...

You don't restart from scratch and hope for the best. If the systemic conditions that make our civilization ill persist, they will affect version 2.0.

It is much much better to incrementally improve the current system, even if the end game is not clear yet. A full rewrite always throws out the good along with the bad, and it is clear our civilization has many good characteristics in it.

I, of course, disagree on the need to restart from scratch.I think that the resource problems we face are slow moving enough that we will avoid them. The real danger is in fast moving problems that we do not know about yet.
Jamming is not a DoS attack. The essential feature of a DoS attack is that it forces the receiver to use resources, which it can then not attribute to legitimate users of the service. Jamming does not force a cell tower to use resources, hence it's not a DoS attack.

To put it another way, if jamming is a DoS attack, then so is hacking a server and reconfiguring its DNS. But we don't call that type of attack a DoS attack, we call it a penetration, or simply a hack.

And yes, wireless communications are susceptible to more physical attacks, such as jamming, but jamming is a) easy to track down, and hence dangerous to execute, b) expensive, you need to invest in special hardware to do it and c)surprisingly difficult to effectively execute in a radio environment like a cell network, which is generally quite adept at routing around things like jamming ( if you put your jammer between me and the antenna, my phone will in all likelihood simply find another antenna to connect to on the other side of me - with signal strength dropping as the square of the distance, your jammer is going to need to be BIG to jam me effectively).
>So, the gist of this is that you use a product where you don't like any of the key features

No, perhaps you got the wrong idea. The gist is that Google Services are running despite of opt-out (Google Now), being geographically unavailable (Music Key) or being installed (Fit).

>they are literally why I have an Android device

You could have an Android device for myriad of reasons. But why bother with the option for opt out then if the services will run disregarding that ? Imagine a desktop OS running all kinds of services and software disregarding you use them or not. Would that be a good practice ?

>Even though they use negligible resources etc

This is debatable, but most of technical Android users will share their observations with Google Services running havoc from time to time using battery with funny wake locks, a quick search on-line can bring this to the table.

>It's hard to understand this point of view - if you don't like Android, use a different OS

I like Android, as I've mentioned being an user for 5 years. What I lately stopped liking is that Google Service are using more and more resources - even if I don't use certain parts of it. Call it sloppy coding or product decision, it's bad. I cannot take their Android app development tips about performance and being a good citizen on the platform seriously, if they don't care about it in their own products. Same goes for design guidelines, but that's another topic.

>just use a ROM with these disabled

That was also addressed. Why give a company incentive for sloppy coding, by having to waste own time on the own device for something that wasn't on there at the time of purchase ? Even if you dive in the disabling of Services, it cause problems in the future (Services update automatically) and I'm left with broken support in apps.

Google Services were introduced as a good fix for update issues, but they need to behave responsibly with this kind of power.
OT: Having a python interface to Blender would be amazing.
"AngularJS 2.0 itself will be written with AtScript, but then transpiled to ES5. You can write your AngularJS 2.0 app with ES5, ES6, AtScript, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, etc. Angular 2.0 apps will run in today's browsers, and even better as ES6 features land"
Agreed. I imagine Angular 1.x will continue to have strong support for a while. The community and resources seem pretty extensive.

Where: Toronto, Canada, no remote workers. We all sit on the trading floor.

You must be eligible to work in Canada.

Who: K2 and Associates. We're one of Canada's more successful hedge funds over the past 13 years.

-----------------------------
What you'll do
-----------------------------

We are building out our algorithmic trading infrastructure and you have a chance to get in at the ground floor. Come help us turn our technology team from an integral part of how we do business into a profit center with its own PnL.

We've got the first iteration working and its making money. You're going to make it more efficient.

-----------------------------
Who you are
-----------------------------

You are a developer who can take an academic paper and turn it into a working prototype because what you are designing won't have been done before.

If you draw a triangle and place computer science, statistics and finance at each of the corners, you're area of expertise is right in the middle. If you don't know finance, don't worry, we'll teach it to you.

You value correctness above all else because when you send 100,000 orders a day if you get 1% of them wrong, bad things will happen...

You are comfortable with F# or C++.

If you love a challenge please reach out to me at cholliday@k2.ca or my email in my profile.
