RAND Corporation | Santa Monica - D.C. - Pittsburgh - Boston | Research Software Engineer, Data Science Engineer, and Visualization Engineer

We are the world’s leading think tank for policy and decision making. Read more about us here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAND_Corporation or here: http://bit.ly/1ImrPH8 or here: http://rand.org

We are looking for eager, creative folks to partner with PhD-level researchers to create cool end-to-end prototypes of research concepts.

You will work on project teams of research staff and domain experts and will often be the sole software engineer on the project. Our group functions a lot like an internal software development consultancy.

For Research Software Engineer positions, technical needs change with every project you work on. You should be a well-rounded type able to create solutions with the tools and tech that make most sense for the project. You could be writing an Angular prototype one week, Python NLP tools the next, and some social media analysis after that.

For the Data Science Engineer and Visualization Engineer positions, similar to above but with a focus on Hadoop/Spark/“Big Data” skills and visualization tech such as D3, Tableau, and R Shiny. We have particular strategic needs in Hadoop and Tableau, so if that is you, definitely hit me up.

Don’t be scared! You don’t have to be a wizard yet. The researchers provide the depth; you provide the breadth, creativity, and drive.

Good work-life balance compared to startups and mainstream tech companies. 20 days of vacation per year that you are incentivized to take! Respectable salaries despite being a non-profit. Santa Monica headquarters are a block from the ocean. Relocation for good fits.

So we would still have to rely on encryption. The system is now more complicated for the benefit of saving a few CPU cycles and allowing everyone to read the content of the message. When we tend to have plenty of CPU cycles to spare this trade off looks like a loss even not counting privacy as a virtue in and of itself.

Sorry, but my, and most people's, thoughts, is that code should be easy to read and understand what's going on. Jade does not do that. It might take "two seconds" to learn, that's extra time that you're wasting going and looking it up. It's much simpler to just write <div class="container">, that way everyone who knows HTML and looks at your code will know what's going on. Jade is bucking a standard for no real added benefit.
This is essentially the stereotype of legalization activists, but it's not really true. I don't smoke pot, but have long been an advocate of legalization. It's so strange to me when people assume I do smoke because of this advocacy... I'm also a straight supporter of equal marriage, and a male supporter of pro-choice policies, &c., &c.

People who want to use drugs are already using drugs.

Marijuana legalization would never have passed the ballot box in the western states if the reason people supported legalizing it was just to smoke more instead of on the policy merits.

Oh come on, the guy was an illegal street trader. That gets cracked down on regardless of what's being sold, in this case it just happened to be cigarettes.

This is not the official "WhoisHiring" poster????

WOULD YOU CONSIDER DELETING THIS POST?

When employer's take the time to post their information, they assume that it will be seen by the larger group. Now there are going to be TWO LISTS.

I assume that you are excited to read job adds, but you will indirectly make it more difficult for others both employers and those looking for a new gig.

Google Play's radio feature has been amazing in my experience, and way better than Spotify's.

>> You are got going to get the middle classes, the average parent on side by talking about some peasant farmer half way around the world. They cannot imagine it, it does not seem real.

This is a major problem with our societies IMHO. People must be made to realise that the policies they vote for are killing people around the world, in their thousands and tens of thousands. But as long as their kid doesn't smoke a joint then it must all be ok, because drugs are bad. What those other people do is up to them. Never mind that your kid is actually giving money to a mexican or colombian cartel, and then your government sends some people over there to destroy their crops and land as retaliation...

Unfortunately you are right, and making sure the argument addresses their lives directly is the only way to change it.

Sad.

Yes, go get help. But, as with HR, school psychologists exist --at least in part-- to protect the school. Finding your own psychologist may help ensure that they are motivated by your best interests, not the schools.

Innovation Is Stupid – Let’s Give It a Brain
Big cities are prone to brown outs on hot days in the summer due to air conditioners. The 2003 European heat wave killed thousands1. I could imagine mayors mandating use of this kind of technology in apartment buildings. Let them charge overnight to offset peak usage. You'd cover 100 or more people at a time.

Are you saying that in Europe colleges cannot dismiss anyone without a "legal basis" (ie they have committed a crime?)

If so that is crazy..Cheating on a test is not "illegal." There are a whole host of things that are "against school policy" but not illegal.

I find this very hard to believe....

>Who are you to condone what others do or don't do to their own bodies and minds?

That has been a large part of law since forever. Take contract laws that prevents a person from signing away certain rights. Are we in the right restricting their ability to sign away some of their rights? What about preventing those under 21 from drinking or those under 18 from entering into contracts?

Having laws that ban others (often under the reason of protecting them even though often the law predates or stands against scientific evidence of such a fact) is the norm.
Trying to redefine the question will not make your earlier wrong answer correct. At no point has anyone questioned the legality of the actual music – the discussion has always been about whether it was legal for them to share copies.
How do you buy an album or song without it being DRM-chained to a particular service? That's my problem with music. I've settled on Spotify for this reason, but I was extremely disappointed to read that I'm probably not contributing in any meaningful way to the less-than-popular artists I listen to.
Yes, but you're throwing it into an inverter, and it's not like you're carrying it too far. High voltages also present problems in itself (isolation, etc)

Now, on a second thought, maybe it's more efficient to do 400VDC to 120VAC/240VAC (don't know the exact values)

> You seem to think that this watch is reserved for blind people.

Certainly not. The watch was originally developed for blind people but I encourage everybody to wear it. I think it is better that some sighted people get over their hangups about 'too big' watches on their wrist, which is an arbitrary fashion choice, and focus on the functionality instead. What's the point of making a smaller version of the Bradley Watch if it compromises on the functionality it was designed for? It feels like sighted people appropriating blind people's culture...

I'm butting up against HN's flame filter and it's not my intention to start a flame war so I'll stop here. My intent was to get Osmium to try the watch first for functionality before complaining about the looks of a tool for the blind.

What about a kilo of wholesale hazelnuts? (Or 1395kg of hazelnuts? (You'll need a lot of squirrels :).))

It's unexpected, but not very rare. There are a lot of products that you usually buy and use in small quantities and are very expensive by weight. IIRC saffron [1] is more expensive than gold by weight.

That is really hard to answer. Wikipedia says "Over 80" Cray-1s were sold, so they weren't all that common, despite being the iconic representation of a supercomputer.

The answer is different for each machine. There are emulators for some of the older machines. See http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ and http://simh.trailing-edge.com/links.html for some.

1. Telnet to mickey.publicvm.com (yes, telnet)

2. Slowly alternate CTL-J and CTL-M until you see a “PLEASE LOG IN” message.

3. Enter “HEL-T001,HP2000,1″ . The resulting output includes:

It's generally not a problem on x86, but in my experience for other platforms, it gets messy quickly.

It would be nice if a replacement or a "de-deprecated" was around.

What I'd love to see is a ROI calculator that:

* uses my zip code to figure out what my non-peak costs might be.

* allows me to optionally calculate solar energy capture (so I can see what impact having solar would be, given the average sunny days in my area)

* takes into account the wear and tear average cold weather would have on the lifetime of the batter and the payback period.

For example, I live in Michigan, and I don't know what my off peak cost is off the top of my head. I also have no idea how much sunshine I get, or how 10 degree lows for two months would impact the battery's ability to keep a charge.

Anybody know if something like this exists?
I think the term SJW has been around a bit longer than you think it has, been used more often in more situations than you seem to think, and I don't think it was necessarily started by misogynists as an insult to feminists.
Thank you for mentioning this. Too many people in this thread forget that not everyone lives in a temperate coastal area.
Living in a region with cold weather, this is the kind of situation I would like to solve too. The problem is that a generator still has benefits over a battery, it can be refilled (i.e. when you lose electricity for a longer period).
They aren't. Not to be rude, but aosmith is almost certainly wrong about what "Public/Private" means in this context.

I have never seen a situation where the public and private key vary in length like that. It would also make no sense for the Private Key to be half the size as that key controls decryption and is the more important one to secure (and therefore be higher bit).

Where do we draw the line? Say you buy a drug that comes from a cartel that uses kidnapping, rape, and murder to hold their power. It is possible for the drug to have been produced safely, but it wasn't in this case and you are feeding the market. Is the government preventing the drug from being created relevant? What happens if, given a safe production option, those purchasing it do not do their due diligence in checking the source. Are they still not creating a market where the object produced with harm is to be sold, further promoting the harm?

Consider a alternate example. Say you downloaded a few megabytes of data. In this case, the bytes were produced by actions involving a child being abused, but it would've been possible to produce them with a photorealistic CGI application.
Well, you seem to be admitting that the term might be used differently than you have personally seen. I would say you were being a bit too preachy then.

Not that I disagree with you really, it's just I don't like to see people getting really close to using the tactics they seem to be speaking out against.
> That means homeschooling is restricted to the upper middle class, people in rural areas with cheap housing or people who are really, really willing to sacrifice for it. If everyone around you is on two incomes and you're on one that better be an excellent income or you will need to sacrifice a lot.

Elizabeth Warren has written an excellent book describing the pitfalls of two-income families that send their children to public schools. It's called "The Two Income Trap".

http://www.amazon.com/Two-Income-Trap-Middle-Class-Parents-G...

In it, she demonstrates that having two incomes isn't the advantage that you might intuitively think it is. Actually, having a single income and homeschooling (or outschooling) can make a family more resilient and flexible, for two main reasons:

1. A second income earner can be brought in if something happens to the employed spouse. Two-income families are already tapped out.

2. Location. If the family doesn't enroll their kids in a public school, they are free to live wherever they want, so long as the breadwinner can still commute. This cuts expenses way down. No longer do they have to compete with two-income earners for homes in a particular school district.

So, while having a parent remain at home is certainly a different lifestyle, it isn't clearly something that can only work for the wealthy. I know many homeschooling families who would not be described as wealthy.

I have used IBM Watson and this seems very different (and also in very early stage development).

This seems more like Google Now than Siri. My friends with iPhones just ask Siri questions. Google Now also takes actions of creating info cards, adding stuff to my calendar that appears in emails, provides traffic warnings, etc.

One problem that does not get enough discussion is false positives when taking actions. I saw on my calendar the other day that I was supposed to be checking into a hotel in some random city that day. It turns out that a customer had sent me an email that included his travel plans. Voila! Google Now 'thought' that I was taking a trip.
