This one is a bit more straight forward (posted a dev opportunity too), we are also looking for a part-time/full-time designer to jump into a existing design team. The main focus is on UI/UX Designer but with a talent for illustration to aid in crafting assets and moving the experience forward.
Similar to the dev opportunity above, the main focus is on independence and hitting deadlines while having almost complete free-reign! The projects will vary quite a bit so looking for someone flexible to jump between projects but who is also quite capable with regards to Web and App design w/ illustration.
Design-wise we have a small group already but are looking to expand it with someone very focused and dedicated time-wise. Happy to share our existing designs/buildouts upon request!
Like the dev opportunity above, we are looking for someone to jump in as part-time and work on ramping their hours up from there. We are looking for someone available immediately. If interested definitely reach out with availability (hours per week), hourly rate, and design examples!
We are a small boutique consultancy, with a entirely remote team, heavily focused on great experiences (design, code, animations, etc). We take great pride in our design and development, only working on projects we build from the ground up handling design, brand, and development.
We are looking for another backend developer who is flexible and willing to work with an small existing team in a fully remote capacity. The key trait we are looking for is independence and self-motivation to tackle problems and hit deadlines. Experience with frontend development and a eye for implementing designs as per mockups/etc is a huge plus but not mandatory.
We currently work with MeteorJS as our primary framework and while experience with this is a big benefit, it's easy to pickup so if you don't have much experience, still feel free to reach out! Generally looking for experience with NodeJS, MongoDB, Angular/React/Vue, etc.
The goal is to find someone who can jump in as part-time and work on ramping their hours up from there. We are looking for someone available immediately. If interested definitely reach out with availability (hours per week), hourly rate, and past experience!

I really, really, REALLY hope that Unity fixes their editor UI in version 5 (I haven't tried the beta yet, so maybe it's the case already), but as it stands right now I can't use Unity for long stretches (visual impairment). The font rendering in the editor is terrible, even at 1920x1200 the text is too small (froget about Retina even). This has been a problem with Unity for YEARS, which is a shame because it's a great tool otherwise.
I'm still torn between the two tools, they're both fantastic for different reasons, but if Unity 5 can't fix their editor then I think I'll have to jump ship just out of necessity.
It amazes me how this has seemingly been such a low priority item for the Unity Editor team for so long. This is a tool that people are expected to live in for an extended amount of time. This problem needs more widespread recognition than it's getting.
That's a valid point, but I wonder how many people just don't complain but would be more productive if this were addressed?
The absence of a fix is frustrating but not in and of itself - I know what it's like to have an old codebase and the massive job that it can be to retro-fit a feature like that. I just wish that Unity had given some proper statement on it over the last few years. The editor is the face of their product - you're expected to spend a great deal of time in the tool. This _has_ been a frequent complaint (just Google 'increase Unity editor font size' for example).
I just wish there had been one statement as in "we know it's an issue, this is what we're going to do to fix it / this is why we want to fix it but can't right now". It's an issue that plenty of people seem to be having - I mean, anyone who owns a high-DPI display is going to run into it and there are many threads on the forum about that kind of thing.
I'm glad at least to see that they've started working on it. I hope it makes it into the 5.x cycle.
Safeguarding your personal, financial and medical information is one of our
top priorities, and because of that, we have state-of-the-art information
security systems to protect your data. However, despite our efforts, Anthem
Blue Cross was the target of a very sophisticated external cyber attack.
These attackers gained unauthorized access to Anthem’s IT system and have
obtained personal information from our current and former members such as
their names, birthdays, medical IDs/social security numbers, street
addresses, email addresses and employment information, including income
data. Based on what we know now, there is no evidence that credit card or
medical information (such as claims, test results or diagnostic codes) were
targeted or compromised.
So yeah, safeguarding is apparently not that much of a priority.
This from a fucking company that uses an online payment system that limits your password to 8 characters.
Their email stated that they would contact those who have been breached. It appears that everyone was breached. I think that means that they will try and hide the care package (1 year of free credit monitoring) in snail mail so they don't have to pay out.
I already locked my credit and now I'm thinking it's time to freeze my credit so no one can take out new lines without me unfreezing it or increased authentication.
I am learning how this is all working, but if you think about it, it's silly to wait for a breach to have your data locked down.
You pay a one-time fee to each of the three credit bureaus. The fee varies by state (around $5-$10, may be less for seniors, usually free for identity theft victims). You can do this online.
If you need to unfreeze (eg. applying for a new credit card or a loan), you need to pay another fee per credit bureau, so you should find out which bureau will be used. You can unfreeze permanently, unfreeze for a short time period, or get an authorization code that you can give to whoever needs to check your credit report.
No, this is in the case of fraud, and then unlock it after 3 months. If you want it frozen until you rescind it, it costs $10 per bureau, but there may be an exception for fraud.
In addition to reading that, I signed up for one of those credit monitoring/protection sites. The one I chose was TransUnion, but I'm still learning about this stuff. I suggest you look around.
This may be a blessing in disguise as it seems that a deluge of phishing attacks ensued, obviously, after this announcement. Whether or not the attacks are directly attributed to leaked information or the attributed party. Be vary wary of any emails that anyone does or has received.
Anthem has stated that they will not be calling or emailing clients and you should check their site http://AnthemFacts.com for updates. (why that site is not protected by ssl I have no idea)
If you do get contacted personally it's a safe bet it's a phishing attack.
Our Company is affected and all our interaction has been through HR. I would contact your HR department.
Anthem will not be emailing individuals, but apparently will be sending a snail-mail packet of information including an offer for credit-monitoring services. And they have been contacting, via email, the benefits/HR people of client companies which used Anthem for group health plans for their employees.
(that all comes via my employer, which has been sending me updates about this)
That site is strange - they have a big box saying that no medical or credit card data was compromised, then buried in the body text we find out that "These attackers gained unauthorized access to Anthem’s IT system and have obtained personal information from our current and former members such as their names, birthdays, medical IDs/social security numbers, street addresses, email addresses and employment information, including income data. "
CC numbers are far less important than any of those identifiers - unlike your SSN or address, they're easy to change. Someone with all that info can just apply for their own CC or loan in your name...
Anthem said they wouldn't be sending emails, so that may have been a scam:
"Members who may have been impacted by the cyber attack against Anthem, should be aware of scam email campaigns targeting current and former Anthem members. These scams, designed to capture personal information (known as "phishing") are designed to appear as if they are from Anthem and the emails include a "click here" link for credit monitoring. These emails are NOT from Anthem."
got notified twice by anthem (email) and once by company (hr got contacted by anthem) but they still havent confirmed if my data has been disclosed (obviously, i suppose it has)
SS Numbers are definitely becoming increasingly problematic. I don't know if public disclosure is the solution, but within the next 10 years some major changes will need to be enacted.
As neat as that sounds, I wonder what will happen when the amplifier and/or speakers start to give up the ghost in 5-10 years. I associate the word "BMW" with "wiring issues" so I'm skeptical of any system that requires unflinching reliability for the life of the car.
The 2015 Mustang with the turbo 4 cylinder has a similar system but the functionality can't be deactivated or tweaked in any way. Can you imagine the frustration of listening to the acoustic meddling through a blown speaker that you can't disable? I had a Lincoln Mark VIII where the stock amplifier fried itself when I was on the highway. It blasted static with wildly varying pitch at full volume for 5 minutes before I could safely pull over and pull the fuse. It was literally maddening.
You do realize you're partaking in unwarranted Linux adoration, yes? Quite literal situation of pot calling the kettle black.
If this were truly about the merits and capabilities of Linux as a kernel and whichever userspace utilies you slap on, there would be no self-importance in your comments. However, it's more about showing off your accomplishments and trying to make yourself feel and seem superior.
I applaud you on your boot time. Sadly, it's not really applicable anywhere beyond the confines of your workstation.
Systemd is great and all for desktops, but I like keeping that complexity and invasiveness away from my servers.
You despise "fanboys" and "adoration," but you're "proud" of an OS that (I'm guessing) you had nothing to do with the development of?
This, right here, is the problem. People choosing to attach their personal and tribal identity to an operating system. It doesn't matter what operating system it is, or how good it is. It's no more noble than doing the same thing with a football team or a comic book character.
You see, it's a very small patch - yet it took some work. There's no magic, just effort.
And for those who think that's not replicable anywhere beyond the confines of my workstation, I intend to release very soon a debian based distribution with "proper" systemd support that gets me from grub to dwm in less than 2 seconds instead of 3s, kernel and systemd time included, on the X60 (I had some inspiration tonight!!)
It's a work-in-progress, it could be improved on the non-tablet version, but it's still something that's possible right now on 8-years old hardware. That's what I call hacking.
For me, free software is not a tribal identity. It's very practical, with great benefits far beyond fast boot times.
Things change because people work on them, and yes they're usually proud of their work, sorry about that. Pride is part of hacking.
I must say I have been quite surprised by the general tone of this thread, including the ad-hominem attacks ("Seems he is working for Intel on CoreOS") on the OP that was trying to explain stuff. Many people don't post content, they just criticize.
That's good that you're contributing to free software. I like free software, you understand. But your sneering at "fanboys," your acting like someone's choice of operating system is a moral stance rather than a matter of convenience and personal preference, still says that you are not being as rational as you think you are. Only fanboys accuse people of being fanboys. Your choice to use free software may not be a tribal identity, but your choice to mock people who don't absolutely is.
> It certainly is when you pick a free software/open source OS over a proprietary one.
A whole lot of people have convinced themselves that it is, at least. I'm not quite ready to accept that using the wrong operating system makes you a bad person. I'm kind of amazed that I even have to say that.
It's throwing around annoying editorials like "unwarranted" every time it doesn't apply to what you're excited about, and not expecting others to do same.
You're the kind of person who feels they're fighting the good fight and the whole world is against them, proud of having this unpopular opinion that nobody agrees with.
Though I've pointed out before that I don't think formal testing is a big part of Apple culture, I'm at a loss to come up with how this passed the most basic smoke testing. Or to flip it around, what random variable wasn't accounted for that allowed the devices in the test matrix to pass? Sure, it seems obvious that Apple just didn't test it. But c'mon, we know that can't be true. They must have loaded on some iPhone 6s. So what's the missing piece?
The update works fine if updated via iTunes. Only OTA updates are broken. Maybe they didn't test the OTA update process? It sounds absurd but it's the only viable option in my mind.
It's surprising to me that those would even differ in the first place. You'd think that you'd have a single deliverable which is delivered and signed, and the installer does the same thing regardless of where it gets the package. What makes OTA different from iTunes?
The obvious one would be carriers, especially since the error affects the phone part.
I have a hard time imagining a "basic smoke test" when it comes to a phone that has to actually try to connect to an external network, different depending on locations and contracts.
I agree, carriers might be the likely candidate. As for a smoke test, I'm seeing reports from users on US carriers. If it were "phones break on some obscure carrier in China", okay, fine. But when it appears to be breaking on carriers that are available to the testing labs right there in Cupertino, meh, it's got to be at least one other thing.
As another commenter said, I'd love to see a post morteum strictly in the interests of "don't let this happen to you". Sadly, we're unlikely to ever see it.
AFAIK the issue only affected OTA updates. I suspect that the vast majority of testing occurred without using OTA. I wouldn't be surprised if they are a bit more aggressive about testing OTA updates too after this.
So the root cause of this is similar to that of the broken Bumbeebee upgrade script [1,2]: a typo (missing quotation marks or unintended space) caused far more data than intended (a whole volume or /usr) to be rm'd.
