H1B and Immigration should be kept separate. Personally I'm pro-immigration and anti-H1B because of the potential for the H1B relationship to be abused in ways that are a detriment to both the one with the H1B and to the general employees in the same field. Personally, I have the skills to compete with an Immigrant for a fair paid position. I do not want to be competing for depressed wages against a H1B worker who has legally enforced company loyalty lest they be deported.
No. Entropy is S = log of the number of microstates. Temperature is 1/T = dS/dE.
We are used to living in an open system, where only absolute zero has a single microstate. In a closed system at the maximum amount of energy, there is also only one microstate, so it entropy and temperature is zero. Drop the energy slightly, more microstates are available, and dS/dE is negative, leading to a negative temperature.

Bear in mind, it's been a long time since undergraduate level statistical mechanics. I may have the details wrong. But this title sounds like needlessly taunting. The actual title is simply "A temperature below absolute zero".

What's new about this work is "We have thus created the first negative absolute temperature state for moving particles". Previous negative temperatures were seen in things like spin-systems.

I would suggest the title "Moving particles with negative temperature".

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, MI and Columbus, OH (on-site, full time)

We're always looking for developers, but we're especially looking for a senior designer to join our team right now.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

- We aren't limited to any specific set of technologies, which is a great
opportunity to learn. In the past two years, I've worked with Python, iOS,
Angular.js, CoffeeScript, QT, Node, Ruby, Rails, and more.

- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.
We pair when it makes sense.

- We practice a sustainable pace. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design. For example. last year I worked an average of 40.408 hours per
week.

- We run a makerspace in our building (www.grmakers.com), which gives us
access to lots of cool stuff like a laser cutter and 3D printers.

A little bit about you:

- You love making software, and you have experience with a variety of technologies.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

I'm a software developer on this awesome team. If you're interested, check out our website: http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/hiring/
SEEKING WORK, British guy based in Europe, REMOTE, working on-premises always possible.

Here are my highlights:

- Reliable. No waiting around for calls or emails; if I'm awake, you can guarantee a fast response.

- Business knowledge. I want your business to succeed, and can share my insights with you, battle-earned over the last 17+ years.

- Technical knowledge. I can turn my hand to pretty much well any technology I'm asked to work with, and am extremely good at quickly tracking down hand-to-find bugs. No more worrying about whether your techie can work on the scarier parts of your project!

- No hand-holding required. I won't waste your time with frivolous questions, and while I'm happy to give daily updates, I can also work well under minimal supervision.

- I. Get. The. Job. Done. Above all else, I deliver the end result.

Recent technologies I've worked with include: Python; Java; PHP; Laravel; jQuery; AngularJS; MySQL; Linux (CentOS + Ubuntu); Scrapy; Amazon Elastic MapReduce (via mrjob); Sendgrid; AlchemyAPI; various bits of server admin, plus setting up production/staging/continous integration environments.

Current side projects include:

Yeah...He spent 6~7 hours on it. Seems like a fair deal to me. Others suggest he should have deleted all JB's videos because it would have been more rewarding then getting 5K. Guess they forgot about the attached jail time with that one.
A little over a year ago I did an experiment. I had coded up a small rich client web app in Clojure + Clojurescript (which I love, and use a lot!). I then spent the same time rewriting in Meteor, except that I ended up spending much less time and got a lot more functionality in the Meteor version.

I really recommend that you try it.

I hope for really good Clojurescript support in Metoer. I tried it last week, the Clojurescript support only supported older Meteor 0.9* versions, and I had problems. It is on my radar to keep checking the Clojurescript support. I also tried the TypeScript Meteor support, but didn't spend much time with it.

They were stored as values in a huge array. I fail, however, to see how that causes them to be distinguished from "agents"? Surely they still fulfil the properties required to be "agents" in an abstract sense? They gather information about their environment (the positions of other agents), deliberate (work out where to move to next), and then act (change their position). That process is entirely abstracted from the storage method of the agent data itself!
SEEKING FREELANCER (REMOTE or PHILADELPHIA,US)

Looking for a front end designer who can take my wireframes and convert to PSD and/or clean HTML/CSS.

Who you are

-------------

- You can discuss requirements (front end) and tell me what I "should" do and not just what I "want" to do

- You can take wireframes and convert to PSD (and optionally HTML/CSS) in your sleep. ok may not that easy but you get the point.

- You work as a professional and expect to be treated the same. No BS.

- If you will do the HTML/CSS as well, I would like it to be done using bootstrap so that we can then take your base and play around ourselves. But you can tell me if this is a bad idea and if yes, why.

- Any experience with AngularJS (v1.x) is a nice to have as the project uses angular heavily.

Please, no agencies or companies who claim to do everything including SEO. I will only talk to a freelancer.

Contact me at yashchandra@treftsystems.com and we can talk more.

I think it's like this. You've got a nice neat filesystem that you understand. There's /usr, /bin, /var, /etc, and so on, and you know what they're all for (well, kinda - maybe there's some stuff in /usr that should really be in /bin and /etc is a bit random and...) but it works, and when you do ls -l / you see a nice neat list that has looked the same for 35 years and that comforts you and you recognize it. I know this. This is a UNIX system.

And then one day you install a new update of your ICANN package and all of a sudden when you do ls -l / you see /Documents and /Photos and /Music and /Google and /Ads (where the hell did that come from?), and suddenly it isn't so familiar any more. Someone took your nice neat system which was good enough for Kernighan and Ritchie and RMS and Linus and everyone and they... just figured they'd ignore it.

I think the feeling techies get is just that there was a reason for that old approach. I can mount /bin from shared network storage and /usr from a workgroup server and okay I never actually do that on my MacBook Pro but that's why it's like that and it's important to keep it like that in case... I ever find myself running a timeshared college computer network on a PDP11 and I need it to work just the same as my MacBook, okay?

And we have the same feeling about the TLD system. We were trying to keep that top level directory tidy, in case... you know, in case we needed to use it for something important. And we don't think branding is important.

Unfortunately that ship sailed a long time ago. The DNS system is all about branding, and so we don't really get to use it for important things, like security, or partitioning, or delegation. We can futz around the edges with things like using in-addr.arpa for reverse DNS lookups (but what the hell is using a .arpa address if not hipster techie branding, anyway?), but the majority of the DNS hierarchy? Forget about it. Bit.ly is not actually in Libya.

Let it go.

Help.com - Software Engineer (Full Stack, Frontend, and Backend) - Austin, TX

Help.com is building the next generation of customer service software, backed by $6 million in funding. We're looking for software engineers with a few years of work experience to join our small-but-growing team at our downtown Austin office and work together to get our initial web application into the hands of an eager market.

We are hiring full stack software engineers, a senior frontend engineer, a backend engineer (Java), and a Director/VP of Engineering to join our engineering team of 6.

We are predominately in the JavaScript/Node.js ecosystem, but have developed a microservice architecture that gives us immense flexibility in our choice of languages and tools. (We've authored code in JavaScript, Java, and even Haskell.) The engineers on the team make technical decisions and have full authority and responsibility for their work. It's collaborative and challenging, and it's been very rewarding.

In addition to competitive salary, comprehensive health benefits, and equity in an early-stage startup, you will have the opportunity to make an impactful contribution to both the product and the team. You will also get to work with some multi-talented and friendly folks who come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We're learning a lot from each other.

Makes me think of "The Man in the Arena":

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

The be vendors that offer the buttons for their products are probably financing the whole thing. They'll also be the ones paying for the buttons, as opposed to customers. Imagine how great it would be for a paper towel company to make buying its towels a single button press (with high coolness factor) whereas any other brand would require a trip to the store, or at least 2 minutes to order on amazon.

They could just automatically include the device in some shipments.
