The mistake was seeking counseling at a college. You just shouldn't do that. I think many students would be surprised to find they have no doctor-patient confidentiality and, in fact, there are several documented instances of colleges using medical records or therapy notes against students as part of disciplinary hearings or to defend against lawsuits. That shouldn't be allowed and I hope someone fixes it.

But I think the answer is to seek help off-campus. Not to avoid getting help.
Not trying to sound snarky, but how does parking underground preclude you from owning an electric vehicle? Is there a physical reason for this? There are apartments that have electric vehicle chargers. You might even be able to convince your complex to install a few as an amenity that will make it more attractive to new tenants.

The scratch2mcpi sounds great. I mentor at a local coderdojo as well.
It's a good idea; I would place it more in the "obvious" category than "stroke of genius" but it's clearly got a market.

I think that the technology to do (2) at grid scale is far from ready. The grid was built to distribute power from generating stations out to users. It was not designed to have power flowing into it from thousands of dispersed battery packs at the tips of the network (i.e. residential service points). Significant reengineering and investement will be needed to make this really workable.

> Many people regularly use alcohol in moderation, there's no reason to think that regular, moderate use of cannabis and various other currently illegal drugs would be any worse when alcohol has one of the worst harm and addiction profiles of any drug.

This argument always seems a bit silly to me.

Perhaps these people oppose legalization in part because they don't want more drugs to be as common and socially acceptable as alcohol and all the evils that come with it, and simply regard alcohol and tobacco use as a largely lost cause. This argument is common and it always frames the issue as if the person is 100% pro-alcohol.

It's sad. It used to be that FUD was something perpetrated by Microsoft against Linux and other FOSS, and FUD was condemned as dirty tactics.

For the last decade or so, the vast majority of FUD has come from within the FOSS community, who seem to be celebrating these dirty tactics. It's really soured me on the FOSS community in general.
I don't understand why the campaigns against alcohol have been so unsuccessful.

Alcohol is very easy to manufacture in secret.
It's not crazy cheap at all. The incumbent technology here is flooded lead-acid, a proven solution used everywhere from telco COs to forklifts to off-grid cabins for over a century. Industrial FLA batteries (the top grade, longest-lasting, etc.) retail for somewhere around $250 per kWh, and typically have warranties ranging from 7 to 10 years. We don't know exactly what the differences are between Tesla's two offerings, but even if we assume that the 10 kWh model is rated for continuous deep cycling for 10 years (their language suggests it may not be), we would still have to justify the $350 per kWh price tag. The other model comes in at $428. So this is somewhere around 50% more costly than existing solutions with a similar expected life span. The limitation of 2 kW continuous power is also a major drawback relative to FLA solutions, which can typically provide at least 200 A (around 10 kW at 48V, much more at the higher voltages the Tesla unit operates at). Since the Li-ion battery is maintenance-free, a better comparison might be AGM or other VRLA technologies, which are slightly more expensive than FLA, but still less expensive than the Tesla units.

Since no inverter, grid-tie transfer relay, or charge controllers are included in this unit, those will all be additional costs just as they would with any other batteries. And it appears you will be limited to a few inverters and probably a micro-inverter PV design; this is purely a grid-tie-only design. Existing battery technologies can do all of that, but they also give you much broader flexibility for other applications and system designs.

I'm not sure why I would want this. I'd be paying above the odds for some serious design constraints and limitations I wouldn't otherwise have. Tesla seem to be taking a very different approach from their launch of the Roadster, which was a super-premium offering at a super-premium price. This is a modest offering at a premium price in relative terms, but low enough in absolute terms to appeal to people who aren't well-versed in the field. Their success will probably depend on installers deciding it's easier to just take people's money and sell them the Tesla than to educate their customers and give them the best value available. Not a bad gamble, for Tesla.
>>Facts don't work on some people because their ego doesn't let them to admit they were wrong.

It's not about ego. It's about emotions. In this case, she is fearful of something that she doesn't understand, and has made a decision ("marijuana is bad!") based on that fear. Logic is not going to overcome that fear. She has to start associating marijuana with positive feelings first before she opens up to changing her mind.

This isn't gender-specific either. Most people, whether they are men or women, operate like this: they feel an emotion, associate it with the thing/person that caused that emotion, and then make decisions based on that emotion. They use logic only for post-hoc justification.
FreeAgent, Edinburgh or REMOTE IN UK

http://www.freeagent.com

jobs@freeagent.com

We're looking for software engineers and technical managers to come and work on our flagship product FreeAgent. We're a growing team of 75, based in Edinburgh but with remote staff around the UK (5 engineers are fully remote).

We have a lot of happy customers (40,000+, NPS=75!), a lot of traffic (13 million+ page views/mo), and some lovely staff to work alongside, learn from and have fun with (http://www.freeagent.com/company/about-us). We invest a lot of time in our platform (code health, scalability, security) as well as working on new features, which is nice.

Our engineers tend to be full stack, but we’re seeing people move towards more specialist work these days, such as front-end programming (we're doing a lot of React.js, primarily on our iOS app), our real-time accounting engine, data science. People play to their strengths really. Our stack is intentionally straightforward. It's sensible and sustainable. Javascript aside, we mainly write Ruby alongside MySQL, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Puppet.

We are looking for UK-based full-time staff right now, but I'd also be interested to chat to UK-based freelancers interested in a longer-term contract (e.g. 6 months+).

As someone who just started walking to work, I can't wait for the day that the smelly fumes of gasoline exhaust disappear from our streets. And Tesla, among others, is bringing us closer to that day.
I would recommend saying "on-site only".
My power bill is rarely more than $60/mo. ROI just isn't going to happen. Am I missing the point of this product?
In the worst case, Mozilla (i.e. Firefox and Firefox OS) will make itself irrelevant because it breaks the Internet for its users.

In the best case, this will make website owners value HTTPS as a marketing decision (rather than a boring non-mandatory privacy decision, because let's be honest, what business really cares about its users' privacy as much as it cares about marketing goals?). Much like how Apple helped making Flash irrelevant (at the cost of impacting their users' experience just like Mozilla does now).
What I wrote was not an attack, why are you being so sensitive?

10to8 - https://10to8.com - London, UK - Frontend Javascript Engineer

10to8 is an online booking system that helps businesses. We are an ambitious startup, based in London, looking for a javascript developer to join our engineering team. Visit https://10to8.com/jobs/ to apply.
We are passionate about cutting-edge technology and we want to make its benefits available to everyone, bringing it to places where it can have a dramatic impact and improve the lives of people.

Can you imagine a world, where no one missed their commitments? No forgotten dentist appointments, no late meetings, no last-minute cancellations or disappointing no-shows. Can you imagine if coordinating took much less effort, than organising your time now?

That world is possible with intelligent software like 10to8, which makes getting to the right place at the right time just happen. That’s the world we’re building with its customers right now.

We are looking to hire a javascript developer to join our dedicated engineering team in London. You’ll help develop new features for our web and mobile apps, used by thousands of small businesses in the UK and abroad. Our apps use a mixture of modern technologies, including React, websockets, HTML5, and BEM, and are largely asynchronous, with liberal use of AJAX. We will also soon start using React-native for our mobile apps.

You know the fundamentals of interaction and visual design; you can tell the best from the good. Above all, you can clearly articulate the reasons behind your logic.

If you are motivated, communicative and a good team player, we want to hear from you. You will play an active part in guiding the future development of 10to8 products. We strongly believe in autonomy and participatory decision-making; your code will be in production within a few days of starting.
OK; here's a well cited study from 2010 on electric cars:
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es903729a

"The share of the total environmental impact of E-mobility caused by the battery (measured in Ecoindicator 99 points) is 15%. The impact caused by the extraction of lithium for the components of the Li-ion battery is less than 2.3% (Ecoindicator 99 points). The major contributor to the environmental burden caused by the battery is the supply of copper and aluminum for the production of the anode and the cathode, plus the required cables or the battery management system."

The copper and aluminium foils that make up the electrodes of the battery dominate. Both these metals are highly recyclable. Not much Li-ion recycling goes on currently as there's lots of different battery shapes + sizes, and there haven't been the economies of scale. I would imagine that whatever technology Tesla have standardised on, there will be (possibly closed loop) recycling plants.

Back in the '90s, I worked under a manager who, as an engineer, had written the linker for Cray Unix. He's retired now, but we're still in touch. I forwarded this story to him - hopefully he can help some. He went back to Cray not long after we worked together, so he might know someone still around from those olden days.

George was a great manager to work for, too... he's the one who taught me the phrase "It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission". Back in his Cray days, he was told to write a single-pass linker for arbitrary theoretical reasons by the architects. He went ahead and wrote a double-pass linker anyway, because he felt it was the Right Thing To Do. Later, customers praised the stability and debugability of Cray Unix, relative to other Unix of the era (old SunOS == suXX0r), so his "forgiveness rather than permission" paid off.

I actually worked with a whole crew of ex-Cray people in the late '90s, after Silicon Graphics bought them out and started running them into the ground. Smartest team I've ever worked with.
From what I can remember, the original plan had some provisions for "assisted usage rooms" where trained personal would help guarantee that needles were clean and offer assistance to reduce ODs, but this never made it into the law because.

I can't be sue if US political influence had any weight on the final legislation, I mean, it would not be unheard of but on the other hand it would not be a matter of public record either.

Mixed. It's mostly people with interest in open-source. Or some people that encountered bugs, fixed them and then abandoned/forgot their github account.

That being said, we use private bitbuckets for all things internal. It's not as if people couldn't work with git. People are simply not interested in open source / github.

That said, english is a second language here, so that may explain why people are not interested in working on open source projects that are mostly made in english.

AmazonUI (AUI) team at Amazon - Seattle or San Francisco - Full time - On-site only - Relocation packages available

AUI is the Front-end platform being adopted on Amazon.com. We are modernizing the company's front end code base, while diving deep on latency, performance, API design, user experience, and cross browser/device compatibility. Basically, we need people who can build libraries, not just use them.

Our team is incredibly customer centric. For any given situation, we have to make the right choice on behalf of the folks using our platform -- and we have to do it at scale. That may sound cliche, but within the next hour AUI will be used to generate tens of millions of page views. And that's just in the US. Worldwide, we're used on about 90% of requests across all device categories.

It's a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of opportunity. For example, we can run experiments that change almost every page on Amazon.com. We can also impact the page load time for the entire site. Have you ever tried to figure out why your site is 6ms slower? We have.

We use these tools (but don't expect you to know all of them):
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Perl, Git

And to give you an idea of who you will be working with, the folks responsible for these articles are on our team:

function getEmailAddr( company ) {
company = company.replace(/\.com$/i, "").toLowerCase();
return String.fromCharCode(97, 117, 105, 45, 104, 110) + "@" + company + ".com";
