For each person that load-shifts, it slightly reduces the payoff for the next person to load-shift.

In the UK, the peak demand is already in the evening[1], because solar has eaten the cheap lunch during the day (which it was supposed to do, but it means that each additional solar panel is going to have a harder job paying for itself). And the demand difference between low and high is about 30GW to 40GW.

This is interesting - could you elaborate? The video doesn't make it seem like there's much stretching going on, but I'm guessing the idea is you stay in that position for a long time and it happens gradually. What stretches? What changes? How does it feel better? etc.
You hit the nail on the head.

I guess that my phrasing of "any residential house" is a bit unfortunate, and that 'the majority of all residential houses' would have been better, but that doesn't take away from the fact that with one extra of these units + 10k Wp of solar panels, you could power your AC's with power to spare to be stored in the battery pack, which you can then use to power the AC at night. Many people use AC's as a counterpoint to 2kW battery packs, whereas actually it's one of the more appropriate cases to use solar panels combined with (relatively) cheap local storage for nighttime consumption!

How much is your power bill in summer? Must be $300+, going on 500 during the hottest months? At that rate, you'll make back the $20k + $10k that 10k Wp + 2 of these batteries would cost you in what, 5 to 7 years? Add financing costs and you'll be at breakeven in 10 years, not counting possible government grants.

I'm all for drug legalization, however, this should also be a part of the laws:

-Businesses should be able to fire someone for being under the influence of any mind-altering substance. The CA proposition a few years back had a clause in there that made it very difficult. Calling addiction a "medical issue" makes it even worse because the differences between recreational use and addiction aren't that easy to distinguish.
-The individual should pay for all of their own issues, medical expenses, etc due to drug addiction. Many of the advocates not only want legalization (because it's their choice, their body) but none of the consequences that come along with it (medical bills due to addiction). It's unfair for me, as an individual that chooses not to put those drugs into my body to also have rising medical costs that pay for the people that willingly ingest drugs.
-Tort reform. We all know heroin is addictive and will cause many deaths and ruin many lives. If a company sells it and you choose to take it and die, your family shouldn't be able to sue the company or the government.

We still have cigarette lawsuits..and it's been known to cause cancer for 50+ years (it's even written on the box).

I think my overall issue is that advocates want all of the benefits (ability to use illegal drugs legally) yet also want society to pay for any of the negative effects that come along with it (death, addiction). You should have the choice to legally put anything in your body....but be responsible for anything negative that comes along with it. If you don't have the resources to deal with the consequences, you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

UX or UI Designers

We're looking to grow our UX and UI team. We love to see a strong portfolio in either UI (mocks and aesthetic, especially with simplifying complex data and interactions) or UX (workflow and wireframes).

A willingness to play bughouse, play ticket to ride, and shoot zombies is a plus.

I know of several small companies that manufacture small devices/goods that no longer patent anything at all because the patent itself becomes a high speed copy process for competitors to steal the idea and make their own copy. Not having the large bank accounts or the lawyers needed to fight these types of thefts they have decided to spend the money to continue to evolve the product(s) faster than the competition reverse engineer them and put them in to production themselves.

I'm a generalist who has been successful across numerous domains (retail, consumer, education, semiconductor). I focus on building low-maintenance and dependable solutions. Even though I enjoy exploring the technological bleeding-edge (I aggressively enhance my toolbox with new languages, technologies, and libraries whenever possible), I often choose more well-tested and mature solutions especially under time and resource constraints.

My interests include service-oriented architectures, programming languages, and distributed systems. Last year, I reached a 365-day consecutive streak of commits to GitHub (still going at 624 consecutive commits). I wrote about my experience: http://polybits.net/2014/08/16/365-days-of-github/.

My open-source work includes a RESTful content-addressable storage server, a proxy for local and remote filesystems, a LINQ-inspired shell, an event-driven performance monitor, a Rust client for beanstalkd, two libraries in Erlang and Go for writing an AI bot for Vindinium, and numerous contributions to Rust and its auxiliary libraries.

I'm looking for entry-level or junior dev work and a career change from a civil engineering background. While I'm a generalist into both front and backend and will happily accept work on either end, I am most interested in DevOps and backend. I'm comfortable on the CLI and with vim, tmux, git, ssh, etc. I also have some sysadmin experience.

Excellent soft skills, and I'm easily in the 99th percentile of English fluency and written communication. If you need good documentation, technical writing, or even web copy, I can definitely help you with that if you're willing to carve out time for me in exchange for helping me improve my programming chops and technical development. Shoot me a message—I'm hungry to level up.
I used to sit upright, 'properly' - but since suffering an injury a couple of years ago I can only sit 'properly' for about an hour before I get pain at the base of my spine. I can delay the onset by lying back at 135 degrees.

I'd love to try standing at work, but I'd be the only one in a large office.
Yeah. Definitely.

Usually part of the fun for me is finding a used book store wherever I'm at and exploring it.

That was particularly interesting in Thailand, because one of the shop owners wanted to talk about buddhist philosophy and seeing the types of books they had around was really fascinating

I try to watch TV almost exclusively while walking or running on a treadmill. I tried various ergonomic chairs for PC work, but all of them felt lackluster. I tried a standing desk too and it gave me severe back pains because I found myself switching to more relaxing and less ergonomic postures after a few hours (like putting an elbow down for support and bending the back).
Enterprise, embedded systems, database development, etc. Not including quantitative analysis/research stuff. If you look at infrastructure of any large company (like Twitter, for instance), their web part is just a tip on top of huge backend iceberg.
I encourage embedded software engineers to experiment with modern development tools. There are a surprising number of ways that even low-level firmware engineers can use clever open source tools to increase development speed. You don't have to be a web developer to leverage cool new technologies!
On the one hand, it's possible the counsellor concluded that he was a threat to others at the College---an immediate threat, which would require an immediate response.

On the other hand, assuming he went to the counselling center first thing in the morning, that's roughly nine hours minus travel time, scheduling, and all the other steps involved in this kind of decision. I find it difficult to believe that a counsellor met with him for more than an hour.

Further: "My brother is then taken home and the next day starts at our local mental health facility. He voluntarily enters a residential program, which is very hard ordeal for both him and my parents. However, he does well and is released to out-patient status on Monday, March 30, 2010." The residential program released him after less than two weeks. I suspect they would not do so if they believed him to be a threat.

So, why did the College initially deny him re-admittance?
He might want to visit the USA some time.
Renters may not have direct benefits, but if the product works, they could have indirect benefits. For instance:

Assuming someone rents, and has to pay the monthly energy bill, wouldn't they prefer living in an apartment that had tools like this that lowered the monthly energy bill?

Assuming you rented an apartment, and either paid for the monthly energy bill, or wanted to make your property more appealing, wouldn't you want to install a product that lowered your costs?
Honestly, I just use Ctrl+F and it throws me off too.
Oh, I see binarybits is at it again! Just a few corrections:

1. Android makers don't necessarily pay Microsoft for patents on things that were invented in Windows Phone. They pay licenses for patents that relate to either a) computers in general, or b) that you could do on mobile devices in general. Examples include the infamous FAT patent, patents on low-level concurrency primitives, and patents on synchronizing calendar clients. "Good" patents? I don't know. But it's disingenuous to compare Android to Windows Phone because a) it implies Android is licensing stuff that came later, and b) from a product that is inferior, insinuating these patents are low quality. If I were uncharitable, I'd say Google ordered a hit piece after all the love Microsoft has been getting the past couple of days!

2. The "billions of dollars spent on patents instead of hiring engineers" argument is a red herring. Firstly, these companies cannot find enough "good" engineers to hire, which is why they're lobbying for more H1s. Is their bar too high? Maybe. Or they may justly be concerned about allowing a "bozo explosion". And even if they did hire more engineers, they still have billions of dollars left over. Patents are designed to be a risk to those that would not reward inventions they practice, and reducing risk to the company is a fine way of spending that money,

3. Using these patents to crush future competition? These companies can more easily crush competition by buying them up rather than suing them. A 2009 study found only a small fraction of lawsuits involve large companies suing smaller ones: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1396319 - and I would bet none of the large tech companies would risk the PR fallout.

4. There is no "patent litigation crisis", just increased media coverage of litigation that is more or less in line with historical rates. Less than 2% of active patents are ever asserted and only a fraction of a percent ever make it to trial. See studies by Mark Lemley, for instance. The "smartphone wars" were just a drop in the bucket of all other patent litigation that happens. In fact there were higher rates of litigation in history when major technical developments happened: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=

I gave it to my 5 year old and she loved it. The best part was after a few sections, I wrote out simple "x + 5 = 7" type equations and she had no trouble figuring them out. I try to get them to understand the same for other things. A billion plus a million is easy, it is similar as an orange plus a pear.

It's so awesome to see their eyes open up at these things. My younger daughter has been going on for days about powers of two. She doesn't know how to multiply, but exponentiaton just tickles her. I showed her some of Vi Hart's videos, and now she's in love with hexaflexagons.

It's so wonderful to see the beauty of math, and moreso when a child is discovering it.
Go-the-language does not have a preemptive scheduler, just guarantees about how various means of synchronization interact.

In fact, Go-the-implementation is only partially preemptive, I believe: in addition to calls into the runtime, calling any function can now be a scheduling event. But if you have a tight loop with no function calls (just arithmetic, perhaps), that goroutine will not yield control. A true preemptive scheduler would be able to take control from that goroutine.
They should do a better job with their if statements, if anything.
In this case it's not about reverse engineering - the actual binaries don't exist anymore either. I'm quite impressed that they've found a way of reading those old disk packs, just hope someone finds one with the right stuff.
Yoga is pretty amazing for this.
