Subscale is an early-stage, venture-funded, remote-first startup working on autonomous manufacturing, with a specific focus on rapid production of precision parts. Our technology combines machine learning, physics simulation, and automated robotics to reduce the end-to-end cycle time by 10x at low production costs. Here's a video showcasing some of what we've built so far: https://subscale.io/recruiting-hn/

We're in the process of bringing our technology from the lab to real customers, and are looking to hire engineers with a variety of skillsets to make this happen:

• A dedicated (senior) frontend engineer to lead development of various external and internal interfaces

• Backend / full-stack engineers to help us build out our ordering and factory management platforms

• Computational geometry and/or machine learning engineers experienced working with 3D data

Our tech stack includes Python, TypeScript, React, Postgres, and AWS, with some C++ and C# where necessary.

To apply, please send an email to david@subscale.io with your resume.
Sorry, too much "privacy" with Signal! I want to have continuous history of my conversations, but Signal does not allow for it. Also, it's the worst SMS client and, in fact, I've lost text messages due to its "privacy", which I didn't ask for.
The original iphone used a rather crappy off the shelf SoC and almost nothing custom.

They have the encryption key, so the difference is not huge.
Are you sure there isn't something wrong with your setup? Switching apps is near instant on my 8GB MBA M1, app startup is sometimes a bit laggy, but overall responsiveness is much better than on my 16GM MBP 2019.

You just need to find the right toaster :)
This is true in a very real sense, plus Boston dynamics has been bought and sold with some regularity, indicating there seems to some obstacles monetizing the tech.
The President often communicates via Twitter. Not sure where you'd get non verbal communication, like body language, in those cases. For the rest, do you believe he is aware of this and doing it intentionally or is he subconsciously revealing his real beliefs and intentions?
One thing I really like about his approach is he keeps it simple: instead of going crazy with a folder structure he relies on search. Instead of using some complex software product, he uses Spotlight. Very nice.
This is a very dangerous viewpoint. You should not ignore security simply because the data exists somewhere else. If data exists in multiple locations it is all the more reason to try and keep it safe.

Some simple steps can be taken to protect data integrity and security:

-Don't leave the data connected to the Internet 24/7.

-Power off the storage medium when you are done with it.

-Keep it in a physically safe location when not in use.

-Encrypt the data or the volume.

-Have a backup of your backup on a different medium and if possible different location.

-Don't advertise the data.

These are activities which are easy to set up and can help insure a more pleasant digital lifestyle. You could go to more extremes but then it becomes invasive. Not worrying about it much because you find it unlikely or just don't care is bad. Not worrying about it much is what you want to do because you have taken the important but easy steps to keep yourself safe.

A few others have given me similar feedback on the two-spaces issue. I used to be a double-spacer myself until HTML came along.

I'm planning to offer a config option that allows you to specify whether you prefer single or double spaces. Not sure which is the best default to offer for visitors though.

Thanks for your feedback!
Not so.

In Israel, military service is compulsory for women as well, and there is no option for non-military compulsory national service.

Non-military national service is voluntarily open to those exempt from military service for various reasons. But it isn't a must, and you can be exempt from military service, and not do any national service.
I've been sampling a wide variety of teas over the past few years, and wrote up a page describing flavors and steeping time, which is a little more detailed (but not as broad) as the article: http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~prewett/archive/tea/tea.h...
Get a good meat thermometer. I found one at my grocery store that has a little needle and is accurate to within about a degree.
For our webapp the sweet spot has been Java/Tomcat for it's stability and security with python methods compiled into Java bytecode for regex and other methods that are cumbersome in Java.

The downside is that Jython throws more runtime exceptions. OTOH it has incentivized a ramp-up in unit testing (Maven, Selenium).
The recruiters work hard to get you placed at a company. Ping the recruiter and let him work hard for you. The people interviewing you are working and you don't know what kind of fires or priority shifts have occurred. It's a hard pill to swallow but you're most likely not the #1 priority on anyones mind.

No malice is probably intended by the team, they just forgot about you.
> How often do high school students actually use graphing calculators to write programs?

In my experience that's where all the time saved by automating rote calculation went. Maybe this is a generational thing but for a lot of my peers Ti-84s were their first experience with programming. It's probably the only context where most students are exposed to computing that doesn't involve always connected data-harvesting.

> going to the computer lab

A student has no incentive to write programs if they aren't actually going to use them.

> Are those rare instances worth every student having such an expensive thing for several years?

I remember buying mine at a flea market for literally a quarter. TI-84s have been around for so long that they're really only expensive if you're hellbent on only buying new. Every garage sale and Goodwill in the country has at least one of these for cheap.
I'd be a bit concerned too. I have got the distinct feeling that over the last ten years or so Lego has been working harder to control both it's image and how the fan community uses its products. Stuff like suing YouTubers for a variety of reasons and being ever stricter about how and when you can use the Lego name.

My concern would be that Lego will make BrickLink the "approved" community and resale site and make it harder for alternatives to exist.

I hope I'm wrong, but I cant help but think that because the resale/collector value of Lego increases it would make sense for Lego to try and control that market.
What about my fundamental right of enjoying the public natural beauty of my state?
huycfhct is a troll account pushing the, Adam Back invented Bitcoin narrative.
There are A LOT of these accounts, Adam is well known for employing these guys like Greg Maxwell to social engineer their narrative into sites like this.
Yeah, i have come to a similar conclusion. It is also very clear that academic papers are unless simple enough to be understood (like word2vec) they rarely make it to production.
> I'm curious why parent is down-voted, is this line of thinking completely out of wack? I thought China is definitely going to become more democratic, following similar path as Japan and Korea.

China is not following a similar path. The CCP has been tightening its grip, and China is arguably less liberal now than it was when Xi took power (for instance: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/25/magazine/the-lonely-crusa...).

The CCP has been much more successful at fusing authoritarianism with capitalism than anyone anticipated.
Why isn't stripe working there?
>... but for people for whom light entertainment is their medicine... would you rather they be drinking?

While I don't find anything wrong with light entertainment being one's medicine, why make the assumption that drinking is the next viable 'medicine' in line? Are there not countless alternatives to drinking to remedy "boredom, stress, loneliness, etc."? Picking up hobbies? Sports? Anything else?

Edit: I want to clarify I'm not judging those who cope with alcohol - I'm 5 years sober, I've been there, I get it. I just don't know why we should assume OP wants people to become alcoholics.
Of course that supermarket should be entitled to ban the misbehaving person from their store.

To turn the story around, why should a business that takes it on itself to provide for a remote community be punished for it by forcing them to accept unruly customers?
> Twitch said it would rely more heavily on law enforcement in “off-service” cases and is partnering with an investigative law firm to support its internal team. It declined to name the firm.

So they're hiring investigation firms to spy on their users. Thank you Twitch, very cool.
Perhaps also because FB on mobile is more advert intrusive with sometimes 75% of screen space taken over by ads that are disguised as user content.

It runs me off the mobile app, I use the web interface.

Also the huge list of Permissions it requires.
The FAQ [1] addresses both of these questions. See numbers 8 and 15, respectively.

Well perhaps it is because Uber pays their drivers poverty wages. I can imagine a driver taking advantage of a passenger because they need food or shelter for themselves or their family.

Obviously it’s cruel to do this to a blind passenger, but I think the fundamental moral problem is really with the decision makers at Uber not with the driver.
International cooperation does happen, quite regularly.
I have a workaround. I was thinking that an adapter socket can be patented. And use by others cannot be made declared under fair use.

So what if APIs were also patented?
Wow what a fantastic response. A wonderful example of what I come here for. Thanks for sharing this.
That's perfectly fine. I remember back in the old X-COM days (DOS game!) I reloaded liberally whenever one of my favorite soldiers died. Was it cheating? Maybe. But it was my game and my way to enjoy it!
> So many people and businesses are able to live beyond their means because of access to credit. If we eliminate the ability to create credit, then consumption would drop to a sustainable level and pollution would also drop and we would see an end to wasteful businesses, products, processes, and ways of life.

What about housing? A mortgage is going to be the only way for a lot of people to ever afford their own home.
Its worth clarifying that the article is specifically addressing the fallout from the pandemic: Unemployment and poverty due to failing economies and shuttered restaurants and bars. In the US, Despite our country having vast and endless supplies of food from megafarms and their accompanying subsidies, there is very little safety net in America to ensure anyone is fed at all once they are unemployed.

I think the last array entry {executeNoMatch , "A?"} will match on any string (and print the fallback "I don't know how to VERB" message), so it's impossible to fall off the end of the array. If you wanted to use a more defensive-programming style then you could add a sentinel of some kind and assert that you never hit it.
I don't understand - something that is already expensive, that will get more essential over time if other stuff runs out... will get cheaper?
So we visually label a select group of individuals?

You don't see any problems with this? Doesn't remind you of any former regimes?
This is interesting. Seems to be that 80/20 rule. While the many thumbnails look annoying, they don't really take so much space. It really is those big photos that are eating the storage space. Cleaning up the thumbnails makes the media library tidy.
As far as I understand Theranos actually bled money to provide correct results through traditional testing methods while it pretended to use its own devices. Given that Theranos was basically a black box to any outside observer medical professionals only saw that they had something that obviously worked. Other than violating various lab regulations it mostly defrauded investors while still providing the service it was paid for. If it gets bad enough I think having a few investors defrauded is an acceptable risk.
That sounds like pretty rational panic buying to me. We can be confident at this point that the pandemic isn't going to sever the food supply; the threat model is that you might get a fever, and have to stay at home for a week or two without being able to re-up on pizza and milk and eggs.
Looking at the Red Cross page there is a separate travel section which says “ Persons who have spent long periods of time in countries where "mad cow disease" is found are not eligible to donate. This requirement is related to concerns about variant Creutzfeld Jacob Disease (vCJD). See - Eligibility Reference Material“

So i think there is a travel restriction and a transfusion restriction which are independent.
> The salary of experienced assembly line worker in South China has passed that of USA's central states few years ago, just before the CoVID.

What’s the salary for an experienced assembly line worker in US or China ?
All: this looks like a pretty well-reported and well-sourced article. Please don't post shallow-indignant comments in such a thread. It leads to boring, repetitive conversation and there's enough of that already.
One day I was sitting on the bus. There was someone in front of me crafting an Instagram post, then somebody else in front of them just chilling listening to music not paying attention to anyone or anything. I watched while the person in front of me took a few different selfies from a couple angles, added some filters then sit there crafting a tale about dude in front who was doing absolutely nothing, don't even think he noticed anyone else at all on the bus, and how he'd said something to her and her selfie was the reaction. It took a bit of time too. She thought about it, edited it and changed it a bunch. It was some effort. All just crafted to get reaction.

It was entirely fabricated, not a single thing was true about the post. Then I watched while she eagerly refreshed checked ever 15 seconds for likes and sympathetic comments.

It was kind of funny to watch, but sad at the same time. I can't understand such a strong need for validation that you'd do such a thing.
At this time - I honestly don't know.

Even the reputation-based stuff is laughable and one can hide a Puppeteer instance with good originating networks, and spoofing a ton of details in the browser. Even if that's a no-go you can also automate plain-old-Chromium/Chrome with extensions and run it in a headless session through something like Xpra. I'm experimenting with Firefox solutions as well.

All-in-all, I've never been stopped - and that's not me stroking my ego... there's TONS of resources out there for this stuff that are just a DuckDuckGo search away.

The biggest thing is if they start aggressively fingerprinting bots, they're going to start blocking user real people. It's all based on a score - and getting a good score is just a matter of a credible proxy, CAPTCHA bypassing services, and making a browser look highly credible.

---

For a "real" answer of some value - as a web developer myself, I'd try to make it as expensive as possible for them. Which specifically would be to implement a non-standard CAPTCHA solution and do rate/conversion-limiting per-network. The reason I didn't say this up-front is because it's not a solid solution - it's just increasing the barrier of difficulty and cost for those that are trying to automate around your solution.
Yes! Cash-in-alley only!
You may want to look at Red Bull Air Race. It also was an extremely expensive novelty sport and they shut it down after a few years.
Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.
I really appreciate your help with the above code. I've been meaning to get deeper into the wonderful world of Z3 for a while now and it seems like the time has come :)
Dating sites definitely need some ML and AI thrown at them for the user, so we can make basic decision trees and save ourselves time and effort.

Is there an actual person in the photos? Is it obvious which person it is? Are there any that aren't close up selfies? Are there any close up selfies? Are they smiling? Any red flags like pictures of Machu Picchu or marathons or massive glasses of alcohol or teardrop tattoos under the left eye?

We can visually identify thousands of species of birds at this point, surely computer science can tackle this important problem next, no?
> Americans are just so rich they are out of touch with reality.

It’s this one. As a Canadian, I can’t take anything they say seriously about their housing “crisis” or cost of living. Almost everything is more expensive in Canada and most jobs pay a lot less, but things are still not really that bad, so I know that the Americans just like to complain.

The only way it’s possible for an American to struggle financially is if they do it on purpose.
""Bill doesn't really want to review your spec, he just wants to make sure you've got it under control. His standard M.O. is to ask harder and harder questions until you admit that you don't know, and then he can yell at you for being unprepared."

I hope nobody is reading this as sage management advice. It is in fact a management anti-pattern.
doesn't HTML5 AppCache allow for some offline features now? But I agree, this should absolutely already be a feature that everyone plans for when they're making websites. Even when users have a connections plenty of people are one slow mobile connections and caching will prevent unnecessary page load times.
I believe that's just one page. This is whole (or some specified subsets of) sites.

I use HipChat and Slack everyday, and to be honest, they are not that much different at the moment for my use cases. The biggest thing Slack has over HipChat right now is the media postings, they are much easier to navigate. However, I can see Slack improve so much faster than HipChat has HipChat did not really add much new features much after getting acquired. And HipChat's Android app is the worst (bad reconnecting policies).
That's so very interesting given we're talking about YHOO. The market drove YHOO's stock through the roof over the last couple of years based on nothing to do with the fundamentals of YHOO's underlying business.
I don't understand what your point is. There is nothing in the upthread context that tries to put a valuation on the US operations of Yahoo, it's pretty clearly about the entire corporate entity that trades as YHOO.
I dunno, I get the feeling that time is running out for Yahoo and they're looking for an exit. It might be little more expensive but I don't think it'll be by that much

Apple has used the code as it was licensed when they used it, and you can't retroactively make the license more strict.

You could license new FreeBSD code more strictly. And then Apple would decide whether it was worth $2-5M to get those new pieces of code.

And you'd alienate the entire BSD crowd because of this strange license term.
What’s new with matrix? Honestly curious, I find federated systems a little confusing and would love an overview

Could you give us more details about the problems you running in?
Right, which is why I am confused why people are focusing on his not having a lawyer present during questioning. That wasn’t the issue... he wasn’t tricked into incriminating himself during questioning. A lawyer could not have helped him in this situation.

So why are people saying he should have asked for a lawyer? Sure, I guess, but that doesn’t help this situation at all. Why not suggest he should also eat a healthy breakfast before going to the FBI office? Yes, that is good advice in general, but doesn’t really matter for this situation.
I think you can do 60fps on android with kotlin easily ... in fact you can do that with RN (if you're careful).

Rust is not a UI programming language and shouldn't be.

but writing your own native modules in rust might be fun (VR, Audio processing, AI ...)
I work on (well, mostly near) an extensible C compiler, designed so extension authors can independently create extensions, and users can import them as easily as libraries: https://github.com/melt-umn/ableC/ (and I'd love to answer any questions you have about our approach or code.)

IMO this approach hasn't taken off because maintaining compatibility with C while adding safety (or really just about any property) means implementing your own sublanguage that can't arbitrarily call C functions while maintaining your safety properties. On the other hand, C being able to call into your sublanguage easier is a benefit versus jury-rigging Cargo into your build system (in the case of Rust).

On the other hand, this approach works great for adding extensions that increase the expressive power of C with new abstractions, for example algebraic data types, C++-like templating, etc.
He did not consult with anyone even after threats...

Instead he sent his family to lebannon and flew there himself.

Would have been cheaper just to lawyer up...

Lawyer should be able to help at least track down which agents did this, call bureau to confirm investigation and complain if things are sketchy, help avoid the no fly list or help get you off it... advice...
It seems like Python and Node are not good choices for command line tools. Rust or Go make a lot more sense as your end users won’t have to install any libs or package managers. Single binary distribution ftw.

Spot on. For larger rooms we will probably have to add mixing on the server side and that will definitely put more load on the server.

We also want to make it super simple to spin up your own Jam for example if you are organizing a micro conference over a weekend and for that we will need to better understand what that means so we can recommend what kind of server/specs to go for.

Thanks a lot for bringing this question up. We need a good answer.

We are currently reaching out to friends and strangers who have a bit more experience running high demand WebRTC + mixing setups to learn about the scaling challenges.

That said, we are quite surprised how well p2p WebRTC works for audio-only in smaller rooms if most participants have a decent internet connection.

WebRTC + Opus is magic.
I only skimmed the code but my guess would be:

* it's running on a single dyno, which will go to sleep if there is a lack of activity or your reach the usage limit for your account for the month.

* it's using websockets to communicate, but seems to not use any shared persistence for managing state. So running a 2nd dyno to load balance + keep dynos awake doesn't appear to be an option.
