I'm not sure I follow that reasoning, sorry.

The big "eureka" moment was to start treating drug usage as a health issue instead of a criminal issue. It's not legal to buy or sell drugs in Portugal and if you are found carrying drugs they will be taken away from you (in most circumstances) but it's not a crime to consume them so you won't go to jail or face any prosecution.
>> To be clear as I do not intend to offend

No offence taken, and in fact I'm sure you're right!
Your analysis of the arbitrage is faulty - if there's a cost associated with time-shifting energy, then the gap will only narrow to the extent that it's still economically justifiable for people to invest the money in time-shifting energy. What you're describing (no peak/non-peak difference plus people still buying batteries to time-shift energy) isn't a steady state - why would people continue to buy the batteries when they're going to lose money on the deal? You'd actually expect the gap to be the price difference per watt plus some additional amount for the capital and inconvenience.

Also, if there's significant arbitrage, it will also reduce peak prices - because of reduced demand, and also because of reduced costs of expensive additional capacity. I.e. it can reduce energy costs for people who don't use it.

Ask HN: How to not base self worth on your own work?
I'm a CS junior who is doing a lot of web development as of late.

I just realized that all my life I've been basing my self worth on how awesome my programming projects are. That means if my project sucks then I go into a slump, and if my project turned out to be great then I am elated. I also judge people by how good their projects are or where they work and it leads to me not having a good social life. It's not the healthiest mindset I know.

Basically I have pretty bad self esteem and I feel like I compensate for it by trying to do more and more projects.

Has anyone gone through something like this and have any advice on how to deal with it?

the 30 day old account was created and jumped in when the official thread didn't appear on time last month and its thread was more or less promoted to be the official one (the official account didn't create a "who is hiring" thread last month).

Since the official post hasn't appeared I guess this is the same thing again.
Does it behave differently from just scaling the display in preferences? On Yosemite I can scale mine so that everything is too small, and several levels in between that and the default resolution. It would surprise me if Apple didn't leverage native resolution where possible with this scaling.
With GNU social (founder here) you can do that too.

You can even subscribe to people on Twitter, post to Twitter and still get ATOM, RSS and FoaF out on your end.

SwiftStack | swiftstack.com | San Francisco, CA

We build tools to help our customers build object storage based on OpenStack Swift. Our customers have big storage needs and need to store their data easily, safely, and cheaply in their own data centers. We're active contributors to OpenStack Swift, and everything we put into Swift we push upstream.

One reason I love working at SwiftStack is because it lets me see a big range of storage use cases. We've got customers using SwiftStack to store everything from backups to game assets to genomics data for cancer research.

Check out one of the things we've recently been working on: adding Erasure Codes to OpenStack Swift: https://swiftstack.com/blog/2015/04/24/behind-the-scenes-“un...

Reach out to us if you have any of the following:

* Experience writing high-performance server software (Python/C/C++/Go)
* A deep and abiding interest in distributed (storage) systems
* Vision that simplifies complex user workflows (front end/UI/UX)

iRobot (http://www.irobot.com) - Bedford, MA (just outside of Boston, MA) and Pasadena, CA

At iRobot we make robots that truly help people. Our robots help people save time by cleaning for them, save hassle by being remotely present for them, and save lives by putting themselves in harm's way.

We have great work-life balance (including half-day Fridays during the summer so you can spend extra time with your family on Friday afternoons) and interesting problems to solve.

We blend cutting-edge research and practical engineering to build useful and affordable robots.

We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should want to help people with products you create, but a robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)

iRobot is looking for software engineers, here are a few of our 20+ job openings:

* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.

* Java software engineers

* iOS and Android software engineers

* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping

* Test engineers

Edit: Also I did not edit anything recently, I really think this is a mistake.
I am not sure but I would think about:
- Legal problems. Would a not accredited photograph be allowed to make photos of persons and sell them.
- OCR problems. I would be surprised if you would be able to read more than 50% of the numbers. I think 20%-30% is more realistic.
- 20$ for a picture is not really pricey.
- The official photographer will always have the advantage of the official communication channel over you. He can send a preview image to the runner as he usually knows the email address.
- Biggest problem would be the chicken and egg problem. How to get enough photographer to use it if there are not a lot of customer at the beginning. How to get enough customer use your system if there are not all photos of all runner.

selimthegrin is correct below -- HIPAA does not apply to on-campus mental health services, and there are many ways for therapy records to be shared with the campus administration via FERPA, even against the consent of the therapist.

It's a terrible loophole that needs to be closed. In the meantime, it seems we can't in good conscience encourage people to use their on-campus counselors for mental health crises. (And the off-campus counselors are going to be more expensive, such that people you warn off the on-campus ones might just get no help at all.) :/

Here's an example of a college administration obtaining therapist records to use in their legal defense, under FERPA after the student sued them: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2015/03/09/391876192/college...

SEEKING WORK - Remote only, based in Iowa and Colorado.

We are a 3-person digital and design agency that's just getting started.

Here of some of the things we’re particularly familiar with:

C/C++, Objective-C, C#, Swift, Ruby, Rails, Python, Django, Java, PHP, HTML5/CSS3, SASS, LESS, JavaScript, jQuery, AngularJS, Node.js, Ember, CoffeeScript, AJAX, iOS/Android/JS mobile apps, Cordova, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, AWS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Web/mobile/print design, responsive design

Please reach out if you’re interested in seeing some samples of our work. We bid projects or offer hourly/daily/weekly rates. Contact: eliyah@agora.sh.
He was speaking to the Counseling Center, not the college administration.

In what world is banning someone from college the right approach to handle someone with obvious mental issues disclosing his problems in a counseling center?

If his situation was "more extreme", the first course of action should be to escalate the situation to more qualified, not the college administration (who are neither qualified nor relevant). You can still kick someone out after they're in professional treatment.

It's extreme irresponsible to not just refuse treatment but actually measurably make their situation worse. You might as well hand them a razor and tell them "yes, you're right, take this and go kill yourself" while you're at it.

The wear and tear on lithium-ion batteries can be significant. It's a big capital cost and every time you cycle it you take a little of its life away. Eventually you have to replace it.

And you really need to be using it, because a lithium-ion will still degrade even if its sitting unused on a shelf in a perfect climate-controlled room.

Demand shifting seems a much bigger payoff: using your AC to superchill parts of your building overnight (or build up ice packs) when electricity is cheap.

That's not sufficient. You're presuming the brain is the only thing required for human-level "AI" (which, in and of itself, is poorly defined). However, how can you distinguish between the brain being the system which generates the human-level "AI", and the brain being the system which merely acts as a proxy for (to express and input into) the human-level "AI"?

I'm sure it is about finding more uses for their existing technology than coming up with the perfect technology.

You're much better off taking something that's good enough that you can get right now than you are trying to invent the perfect technology.
Wingspan Technology, Philadelphia Suburbs (Blue Bell)

We're looking for multiple software and DevOps engineers. If interested, contact careers@wingspan.com.

Wingspan Technology is a small, family friendly software company headquartered in Blue Bell, PA. The Wingspan engineering team is responsible for architecture, implementation, and maintenance of the company’s enterprise software products that target highly regulated industries, primarily life sciences. Current projects span the whole software lifecycle, from maintenance of industry-leading solutions to the development of new, unannounced products; some are on-premise and some SaaS.

Our engineering team has exposure to a wide range of technology; for new projects we’re using Scala, React, Solr, and Postgres, with an emphasis on functional programming techniques where appropriate. Internally we use Atlassian tools for defect tracking, continuous integration, and code reviews. Engineers involved in tier 3 support typically work with older technologies, but are able to see how real customers use their work.
New engineers typically rotate through a series of projects over time. These might include building new UI features in Javascript, writing database migration scripts, or tier 3 support for a SaaS application, depending on the candidate’s interest and experience. Project selection is based around the current needs of our customers, and offers many opportunities to take ownership of projects that have real value to the company.
This is a really unproductive way to respond to someone and is discouraged on HN.
Love some help/ideas to build this into a really dummy proof system.
