The graphics are bland and the early parts of the game feel like a pre-release / beta build, but the addictive gameplay and infinite end-game potential got it a lot of great coverage.
Stockholm's cold but I've been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather
Is she predisposed to be okay with cold climates, or was she born so that her parents could handle the cold?
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Romantic love or parental love? Is she saying the last line, or is it her parents talking to her? Wonderful stuff.
We're looking for an AWS / infrastructure / devops consultant with experience architecting for HIPAA. We know at a high level what we need to do to achieve HIPAA compliance, but want a consultant with enough experience around HIPAA that they can be interpreting certain high-level requirements into action items as far as changing our AWS infrastructure without us burning ourselves from interpreting something incorrectly. Having node.js experience (and interest on backend code-writing) is an optional plus.
We have an existing infrastructure that will require config tweaks (like adding encryption at rest to some services), expanding the logging capability, expanding alerting, and a few other to-dos.
Open to working with people in U.S. or India timezones. We're in LA and Bangalore but remote is fine. Expected timeframe would be fulltime Aug - Sept (or Oct if needed).
Reach out to software@stasislabs.com if interested.
Apparently they've tried them in the past: https://www.adweek.com/creativity/dominos-wants-roll-out-gyr...
We're looking for someone to help build ES6 + React web applications in the healthcare space. Stasis increases hospital access to automatic, continuous monitoring with our cloud-connected monitoring solutions, and are doing some cool stuff with AI and machine learning to move the industry towards proactive healthcare.
Most of our web applications are full-stack JavaScript, plus a bit of Python used by our team working on machine learning. Experience with ES6 + React + Redux + a good frontend sense are preferred. There will likely be opportunities to work with React Native. A bit of backend experience, including SQL, will help. We're looking for someone who gets excited by TDD, and has experience driving testing + stability best practices on a development team.
We're seed-funded, and planning on raising Series A this year. Our team is about 2/3 in India and 1/3 in the U.S., and we hope to get our first U.S. customers this year. The product today is live in hospitals throughout India.
If interested, apply here on AngelList: https://angel.co/stasis-labs/jobs/355620-sr-javascript-devel... or reach out directly with a resume to careers+software@stasislabs.com
To me, the "Laurel" "Yanny" wasn't as interesting, because I could clearly hear both at the same time in different registers. But I really like this example because I can't hear "brainstorm" and "green needle" at the same time - it really seems like my brain shuts the other one off once I start listening to the audio.

You only pay capital gains taxes on them in the years where you sell.
Keep in mind that in the IRS's eyes, any exchange (like BTC -> LTC) counts as a sale, and so does buying goods with crypto (like buying a video game with BTC).
Don't hire a role you think you need until you're sure you need it. Sometimes startups think "we need an HR person" or "we need a marketing person" before those jobs are actually at the point where they require a full-time person.
But after your first few engineering hires, you will probably know well whether you need, say, a backend engineer. You will have people doing some of that work, and be able to look at your roadmap and estimate correctly.
But for first-of-their-type roles (like my marketing or HR examples), that's harder - often part of it is startup leadership thinking "we could be doing so much XYZ I don't know about", instead of "we're doing 10 hours of XYZ a week and I know we need 40".
Once you've decided you need the hire, you want to get a person as smart as possible.
I doubt you'd have much success with this approach because how "correct" the group is, as a whole, changes every question. There's no way to know if the chat group is well-informed or not until the question is over and you see how many people were correct.
I would advise learning React (they have both create-react-app and Expo now to make the experience simpler) from the docs.
When learning React, some things were alien at first, but after getting the basics down I realized writing JS applications with React felt much simpler than what I used to be doing. It resulted in shorter file lengths and cleaner code, and the concepts shouldn't feel too foreign if you have backend experience (it's probably harder if you learned JS through jQuery and webpage interactivity logic).
I see ICO's as marketing investment opportunities to unaccredited investors. I thought unacreddited investors in the U.S. are legally allowed to invest in public stock, and approved securities (like bonds, precious metals, etc) and only a handful of other things.
The notion of accredited investors legal requirement to invest in tech startups is that tech startups are inherently very risky, and the average person shouldn't be allowed to put their life savings behind something so risky. By this logic, it strikes me as very odd that ICO's are legal for U.S. citizens to invest in, and my guess is it's because the SEC hasn't come around to regulating them yet.
Does that sound correct, or is there reason to believe the SEC (in the long-term) will be okay with unaccredited investors investing in ICO's of tech companies? Are there other things with a similar risk profile that unaccredited investors can invest in?
Just a google search for "decline in seed funding 2017" shows how many big outlets have had stories this year on it.
It's sad that top private universities today are so revenue-focused that they're okay with dropping any semblance of innovation when it comes to architecture and design. But these universities don't care about their architecture schools - those schools don't put out enough rich alumni to bring in the cash.
At USC a few years ago, the architecture school was stuck with old (and few) 3d printers - I don't remember the model, but students complained and got nowhere with the faculty as far as better equipment. Next door, the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy of Arts, Technology, and Business of Innovation (read: try to make startups) opened their first class with a whole lab of 3d printers and laser cutters, including a Form 1 (which was quite nice at the time for the price). The school doesn't take architecture seriously. And I don't see how that would change anytime soon.
> 15% of your money in something technically promising but risky isn't really worth the time you'd have to put into the research for it. Put in 50% at the very least. You'll make money if you are right and if you're bad at investing it will be safe enough for you to survive retirement.
Are you talking about investing in one's own venture (where you're looking for high return), or investing for retirement (in a diversified portfolio w/ low-fee ETF's, where an 8%-per-year return is great)?
Increasing earnings gives you more money today.
Decreasing spending gives you more money today, and more money every time that you act on that same habit. Cutting your rent doesn't just put cash into your wallet now, it also decreases the amount you need to save to live (or retire) at your current lifestyle.
I disagree with your mocking of this. Your emergency fund or retirement savings are not buckets where you throw every last dollar you have. They only cover your emergency fund (typically 3 - 6 months of expenses) and your retirement (10% - 20% of your annual income per year).
For people working a full-time tech job before starting their own venture, I think eschewing those to "invest in yourself" is probably a stupid idea. Not having an emergency fund is a stupid thing to do if you have the financial situation to fund it.
It's a little different for college dropout or straight-out-of-college entrepreneurship. But in that case, pushing off retirement savings until you have a stable job is reasonable, and try your hardest to build up your emergency fund.
Cover your bases. If you're in a high-risk high-reward lifestyle (like tech entrepreneurship), investing 10% - 20% of your income in standard low-fee ETF's is a GREAT point of diversification.

And they sent him threats after they offered him the highest ($30,000) bounty, waited a month doing nothing, and then finally sent him a terribly restrictive non-disclosure agreement which he'd have to sign to actually get the cash.
But UBI's have the perceived simplicity of "I always get this", which might help encourage more people to pay in, even though the higher earners are losing money.
