While true for lithium fires, a venting lithium-ion battery is not a typical lithium fire.

According to the MSDS for lithium ion batteries, fires involving them can be extinguished with a typical ABC fire extinguisher.

Lithium batteries (not the rechargeable kind) are the ones that need a class D extinguisher.

Edit:

> CO extinguishers, halon or copious quantities of water or water-based foam can be used to cool down
burning Li- ion cells and batteries. Do not use for this purpose sand, dry powder or soda ash, graphite powder or fire blankets.

> Extinguishing media Use water or CO2 on burning Li-ion cells or batteries

Help build the future of finance, in a fast-paced startup environment in downtown San Francisco. We offer salary, benefits, meaningful equity, and free lunch + dinner every day.

We're hiring:

- Backend engineers: We're looking for experienced engineers to build systems which securely store our bitcoin, and interface with banking and other financial networks. Our backend teams work on API design, integrating new payment methods as part of our global expansion, designing secure systems to securely store bitcoin private keys, and detecting fraud and identity theft using ML. Experience with Rails + Node.js (or similar languages/frameworks) preferred.

- Frontend engineers: We're looking for forward-thinking frontend engineers to help us build new payment methods as we expand globally, improve our onboarding experience, and build real time exchange visualizations, using the latest client side technologies such as React.

- Devops engineers: We're looking for senior devops engineers to build a fully automated, stable + secure cloud environment in AWS, using technologies such as Docker, CoreOS, ELK, plus a lot of our own software.

- Security: We're looking for outstanding security professionals to help secure our bitcoin and sensitive customer data. This involves securing our production systems, development environments, corporate networks, and devices, as well as managing intrusion detection and incident response.
I was under the impression (maybe it's wrong), that good deal of US company value is tied to patents, and IP in general. Reforming the patent system would effectively destroy, or reduce the value of these (in some cases very large and important) patents and therefore harm businesses in the short term. This doesn't seem like something Congress, or US lawmakers would be addressing with gusto.
No, you can't. Some Shanghai-listed stocks you can buy through the recently opened Hong Kong-Shanghai Connect. But those are mostly well established companies that are listed in Shanghai. You can read more about it here: http://www.hkex.com.hk/eng/csm/chinaConnect.asp?LangCode=en
Who's selling? Well, imagine you wanted to sell your $300k ('market value') house on the market, as you needed liquidity. But the government says its price is capped at $25k. They enforce this by only letting notaries sign off on sales at that price.

Ownership of a house by law is only valid once a notary (government worker) signs off on the exchange of the deed, so nobody will buy the house without the notary's signature, as then they'd pay but not officially receive ownership. The seller who has the money, can now call the police and kick the buyer out of the house, as the buyer can't prove he owns the house as he never received the deed from a notary. So to sell, you must use a notary service, and through the notary, $25k is exchanged hands.

Now obviously nobody will sell $300k value at $25k, and obviously there are lots of home owners who at any point in time want liquidity and want to sell the house for whatever reason.

The most sensible thing to me is 1) not many are selling, even if 1 out of a million shares exchanges hands, whatever was the last price is the new price. So the 10% gain can happen with insignificant volume. And 2) some people are selling for $25k, while receiving $275k under the table through a different deal. It'd be discounted as you'd likely need to launder the money which has costs, but if the market price and the artificial price are far enough apart, people will do it.

> "Startups don't fail because they run out of money, startups fail because their founders give up."

I'm not really seeing any insight here. The physical economic limitations that the average start up faces is entirely unrelated to the zeal of its founders.
Sounds like a great place to live, if you're privileged and don't care about the environment or the poor.
I'm not sure how much I agree with the essay, but you really need to give it more than 4 years. By 10 years out, most people from my high school had leveled out to a degree--the weird kids were mostly married and starting to have kids, the popular kids were married and starting to have kids. Things like hot girlfriends/boyfriends didn't really matter--they'd all pretty much matured. One other thing I'll point out, the most attractive girl from my graduating class definitely wasn't the most attractive girl when we graduated.

That being said, we had 2 distinct cliques of popular/smart kids, both of these groups were in honors/AP classes. Group A was more popular. Group B less popular (but still more popular than the other various groups), but smarter. These groups started in 8th grade when the school separated the gifted program into 2 groups (I was in Group B btw).

Group A (with very few exceptions) partied through college and then married young. They ended up doing about as well as all the non-popular kids from high school.

Group B partied less, studied harder, married later, and is making much more money than Group A.

I think popularity predicts success to a point, i.e., popularity has diminishing returns. Group A cared too much about the rewards that came with being popular in high school, so they spent too much time maintaining their status. The kids in group B were popular enough to get by, but they worked harder on other things.

HSTS is designed to protect against downgrading from HTTPS to HTTP. Best I can tell, it doesn't protect against downgrading from an HTTPS with a validated certificate chain to HTTPS without a validated certificate chain.

To do that, you would need something like certificate pinning. Once there is a widely deployed mechanism for detecting when a certificate has erroneously changed it would be more feasible to stop treating self-signed certificates as errors.
Jose Padilla (although he was not rendered to a third country; they tortured him themselves).
Someone stole a laptop from me a few years ago and gave/sold it to someone else. I ssh'd into it, installed keyloggers and screen capture programs so I could figure out who they were. I was able to get their email, Facebook, and eBay passwords which I used to find out who they were and where they were staying so I could give that info to the police. Unfortunately, I still didn't get my computer back.
I agree with this video a lot https://vimeo.com/85040589 .
TLDR (or TLDW :-D): Ambitious people usually have pretty good taste and can tell what's good work and what's lame work. We feel very sad about our lame work, because we know it's not good work. It leads to a toxic spiral where it's painful to work because we know what we're going to produce is probably going to be lame. Hence the only way out is to force yourself to produce a large volume of work and eventually your work will reach or approximate your own taste.

I'm not sure if that's the only solution, or if it applies to everyone, but I definitely like the concept of a "taste-gap" and I'm experiencing it a lot.

* Your website can be manipulated to contain anything: it could be a script attacking another website (Baidu vs GitHub), it could be a sneaky redirect to a phishing page (tab-nabbing), or just a ton of nasty tracking ads injected by an ISP.

* There are still sites that should use HTTPS, but don't. Browsers can't know whether these are just holiday photos, or photos that are privacy sensitive or can even cause a visit from the secret police in some countries. It's better to err on the side of security.

Network Locum, London (http://www.networklocum.com)

Network Locum is an online marketplace matching doctors with healthcare providers looking to fill gaps in their rota. We're on a mission to take the power out of the hand of recruitment agencies and eliminate waste from the NHS by freeing up the data.

Our technology stack comprises mainly of interconnected microservices in Python and Django communicating over Redis, with some Angular.js giving our front-end a bit of dazzle. It’s quite cool.

What we believe in * Getting stuff done * Testing quickly and often * Making informed, data-driven decisions * Lean principles and Agile + Scrum project management * Developers spending their time doing what they do best: developing * Cultural fit is as important as raw technical skills are

We have an office in Shoreditch which our team of 12 works out of. If you’d like to join us and be challenged on a daily basis, while having fun with great people, then shoot us your github profile to michael@networklocum.com

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure the ends justify the means here.

Considering it's international in nature, did they have any other option or recourse?
I'm primarily concerned with encouraging code-sharing. If it's explicit in my act of sharing that "I'm sharing code with you with the understanding that you'll share with me", then perhaps it's more likely that other research groups will share openly, too.

Our field is on the verge of developing an open code-sharing culture; this is a chance to define it.

I'm sure the transfer deal when you buy the site will include an IP provision, whereby, if you reverse the charge, or don't pay in some way, you don't own the copyright to the site and its contents. That sounds like a valid case of a DMCA complaint being made.

I remember the story of a client who got an agency to do a load of branding work. Said he didn't like it, and would be going elsewhere, having only paid the deposit - that's fine, it's part of the terms and conditions ... however, said client then went and used that exact branding.

Last I heard, a DMCA claim took the website down and he came crawling back to pay the balance at he had a regional advertising campaign about to go live.

"The best fix so far was ±1 metres at a very open location using 12 satellites; but accuracy is typically ±5 metres in poorer locations with fewer satellites."

That seems very good accuracy. The off-the-shelf GPS I have (https://www.adafruit.com/products/746) is always >= ±5m, even with 360 degree view of the sky.

(the specs for my GPS claim < 3 meters, and also say "(all GPS technology has about 3m accuracy)").
