Apple | Vancouver BC, Cupertino CA, | ONSITE (well, WFH at the moment) | Full time |

We're still actively interviewing, all interviews over video at the moment. Positions below are in my org, there are more active openings in Vancouver, and of course Cupertino.

Are you passionate about developing large scale software systems to tackle real world problems in Fraud detection and prevention? Do you have experience with ingesting, analyzing and processing large amounts of data for use in real time systems? Are you looking for the chance to engineer solutions from the initial design process to the deployment of the system into production and witness the real-world impact of your hard work? If so, this is most definitely the job for you.

See https://jobs.apple.com/en-ca/details/200136847/software-engi...

We're hiring a top-tier security software engineer to take on these features that will help protect all our customers, no matter how they access our services. The role spans the breadth of the Apple ecosystem, from iOS to web implementation to back-end servers. The role requires you to have a strong background and interest in information, product and system security, a rich experience in SW development and technologies, and to be used to working both autonomously and in close multi-functional collaboration. You will also understand the odds of implementation robustness and security, and will relish the happiness of improving the lives of millions with every commit. You will have the opportunity to lead change at multiple levels of the organization and in procedures and protocols as well as technical implementation.

Power outages aren't common enough here that this is a big concern. And since the network is likely to be down, there is likely zero point in keeping your server online. (Your services can survive a reboot cycle right?)

If the services are required to be online, it's likely you'd want your network online as well so you'll need a battery backup for your router. So you run the Raspberry Pi on the same battery backup you have your router on.
1. Most people already have a perfectly good babysitter in their house which cannot transmit COVID-19. Fire up some Mister Rogers and Reading Rainbow for a couple of hours when you need some time.

2. Have you tried occasionally putting the first grader in charge of the toddler for a few spans of time? Obviously a first grader can't babysit, but younger kids are usually happy to do what slightly-older kids tell them, and slightly-older kids usually enjoy the devoted followers.

Regarding what you owe your employer, coworkers and team, ultimately you need to talk to them about it. You may discover that even though you feel less productive, everyone else is in roughly the same boat. Even those without toddlers will be suffering from the normal WFH distractions and "disaster fatigue" from checking the news every 20 minutes. Also give it some time, to see what happens both in your work habits / stress and the outside world over the next few weeks.
In my school district they still haven't figured out how to proceed. The problem is there are a lot of low income families that they know don't have internet access or a computer. They can give those kids a chromebook, but that isn't very helpful with no internet access. Legally (and morally) they can't move ahead with online school if a big chunk of the students are left out.

On the other hand, I was talking yesterday with a family member in another state where they have been doing online school almost since the first day (including PE, art, etc.!). I asked them what they are doing for students without a computer or internet access and apparently that state doesn't have the same equality laws so its basically a case of too bad, so sad for poor kids.

What I hope comes out of this is the realization that internet access is a utility on the same level as water or electricity.

That was the original web components. Much better. Then they changed it to make it worse. :(
>unmanned tanks

The Russian T14 Armata[1] is a strong nod in that direction. The turret is unmanned and fully automatic; the crew of 3 is hosted in a well protected capsule in the front hull.

This ensures both low top weight & visibility, just as well as improved survivability for the crew.

Conversely, Smalltalk is left-to-right, so

a + b * c is (a + b) * c

which is simply a result of every operation being a message send - muddling the rules with precedence would be likewise confusing, and would ruin the simplicity of the grammar.

I agree that this situation is both tragic and depressingly, probably avoidable, although it is worth pointing out that the rate is just over one in ten thousand for the worst airline (United) or two in 100,000 for the best (Alaska).

From my reading, unfortunately causes seem relegated to anecdata in this case as only rates are officially recorded. Reading anecdotes, however, the issues also seem to mostly be related to ground-handling and packaging issues, between animals which are not properly crated (much as the human in the article seems to have been improperly crated!) or are heartbreakingly left on the tarmac for extended timeframes during harsh weather.
I didn't know about the US intl layout when I decided to make the switch, and I don't know if it's worth to learn it now.
Would a sample of stupid things done by 20-somethings convince you to increase the voting age? Should people be denied to vote as they get older and their brain function deteriorates? What about people in the bottom quartile of intelligence or education? What about smart and educated people who know nothing about the people and parties they're voting for?

None of these would make sense to me unless you are willing to go very radical in a bunch of different directions. Giving young people a vote at an age at which they can already work, pay taxes and be in the military makes a lot more sense to me.
>And of course, the largest producer of CO2 isn't the US as you imply, it's China

Except you are trying not to stop the cyucle and finding s shitty excuse, I will continue poisoning this city with coal related toxic waste because China has even worse pollution. I should continue throwing plastic garbage in the river and kill our river life because the neighboring country/cities does the same.

This is cool, thanks for sharing. I'm passing it on to the relevant teachers at our school.
I'd like to note that Gonzague Gay-Bouchery is an oft-ignored part of this saga. He has gone to a lot of effort to silently vanish (deleting most of his online footprint just before the announcement last February) and has been mostly ignored, but reportedly had a large role in the business side of Mtgox, while Karpeles handled the code aspects.
By precipitating change, you’ll create value. Those that do this best will win.

1) That seems to be requested a lot, so I'll add it.

2) The contacts are there when you add them, so you just click them. Have you tried the "Contacts" page?

3) You don't have to move away, the bookmarklet appears in a lightbox. Are you sure you aren't just using the "Send" page?

4) This is true, but this is more targeted to a few of your friends rather than everyone, and adding everyone would clutter the list more than help, I think...

Thanks for the feedback!
The beginning of the article is incorrect in identifying the Allen Array as the array in the film "Contact". That was the Very Large Array.
Gravity propogates at the speed of light. However, using gravity to send information will allow you to send information through most objects like Earth or the Sin without any satilites to redirect it around the object.
It's rare to complete a PhD without having a first degree of any kind - but it's not unknown.
Yep, I should do this as everyone seems to request it. I just need to be careful to note that you shouldn't import everyone, as it will clutter things up. Right now the best part is that you only see the 10-20 people you send things to frequently so you can just click on them rather than type anything.
Thst's right. It's still firewalled from the Internet, but now also firewalled from the rest of my LAN.
Oh, no, they liked it very much (the comments where overwhelmingly positive, such as "this already changed the way I share things"), it just didn't get noticed/upvoted much.
Bah, that's embarrassing. I will break the HN etiquette and reply to myself, because I will not succumb to editing the post above and retroactively fix a calculation error. Whatever comes from that, I deserve it.

I was off by 2^10. For some reason I kept thinking the 72 bits as 82 bits. You can even see that from the numbers!

So yes, 72 bits is not enough anymore. I stand corrected. New ballpark figure for sensible security margin should be 96 bits.

What does any of that have to do with the labor theory of value?
Yes and no. It's true this a policy violation, but I can tell you unequivocally that a huge percentage of used sellers on Amazon are actually arbitraging their competitors inventory. As a midlevel sized buyer and seller on Amazon, I've always assumed that these sellers had some kind of secret upper-tier arrangement with Amazon? Because as buyers, we see high volume sellers do things on a daily basis that we would never do as sellers for mortal fear of our account getting banned. Yet somehow these megasellers seem able to muddle on year after year?

A lot of them are not necessarily even primarily e-commerce sellers, but are semi-camouflaged divisions of larger traditional publishing entities - like how the seller oneworldbooks is actually the textbook wholesaling giant MBS Books. These sellers are companies so large they are akin to major new-book publishers, so I assume their relationship with Amazon as a company is cozier than ours is as "random small bookstore with Amazon account".
It becomes easier to pay off your debts, which won't rise in response to the unexpected inflation like your wages will.
Much of "conventional wisdom" is political meme. There has been a shift in perspective (an "ideological change") among many economists (though Krugman is not necessarily one of them). MMT goes against "conventional wisdom" -- I am saying read the link for an overview of MMT.
Groupon, because they found a simple multi-billion dollar business hiding in plain sight.
Where does it say stealth? Maybe the lack of disclosure is just due to them not wanting to reveal they're affiliated with YC right now, or that they don't want to reveal to the press that they've got those kinds of traffic numbers?
I get kinda peeved that they don't allow discussion on posting by YC guys. Seems more craigslist-y and less HN-y. Several times I've wanted to remake the posting as you did, but was too afraid that I'd piss off someone at YC.
I can't think of a specific start-up that has inspired me.

What has inspired me is the explosion in the sheer number of high quality apps/gadgets/tools/etc. that are actually innovative.

So Boston, Bay Area, NYC, etc are more expensive than Denmark? Almost all of the universities in the US where getting a PhD would be worth a damn are in high cost of living areas.
Alan Konheim (one of the designers of DES) commented, "We sent the S-boxes off to Washington. They came back and were all different."

[...]

Some of the suspicions about hidden weaknesses in the S-boxes were allayed in 1990, with the independent discovery and open publication by Eli Biham and Adi Shamir of differential cryptanalysis, a general method for breaking block ciphers. The S-boxes of DES were much more resistant to the attack than if they had been chosen at random, strongly suggesting that IBM knew about the technique back in the 1970s.

I'm done bickering about trivia, though. If you'd like the last word, as long as you don't say anything overtly stupid, I'm not going to respond. Happy holidays!
So true: This global super-computer enables us to do things that would have been impossible not long ago, such as instantly search billions of documents, .... leak embarrassing diplomatic cables, etc.
Even if it was worth supporting, I guess it's understandable that Apple wouldn't go out of its way to do it...
>there's a warrant, court order, reasonable suspicion, etc. that establishes the existence of evidence

Warrants dont establish existence of evidence. they just authorize the state to override your rights, because they convinced a judge. All of this is weaponizable.

The way to establish evidence is to have evidence. If you dont have evidence you haven't established it. Forcing you to divulge something in your head is to force you to give up evidence against yourself, and the ultimate trespass.

I can't think of a situation I'd authorize someone else to do that.
Can the embed detect your logged in state? Privacy settings may have changed in the browser.
"Google is evil" has been a given for close to a decade now, and certainly since Snowden.
I am not convinced reputation would work the same way, or that plagiarism isn't bad, but I definitely agree with the ego-centrism in the modern scientific world. I personally think it is a moral hazard and is something that discourages and robs the enjoyment of many people in the field. It is better to focus on the beauty of the ideas than the "beauty" of the reputation of the one who proposed the ideas.
How about let courts decide if it's not genuine consent, after carefully deliberating on the facts of the case, and not social activists having knee-jerk emotional reactions based on a very low resolution view of the situation - often based only on a headline.

>>Without those laws, those who are most desperate will be able to act in desperation, to someone else’s benefit, with society doing nothing to stand in the way.

A law prohibiting it doesn't solve the problem of them being desperate. It only takes away an option that they perceived as the best one available to them, all so that you can be sure no one is profiting from an exchange that exposes the inequality that exists in the world.
> The real worry should be if the UK becomes a failed state

I don't rule that out. The amount of venom and irrationality injected into UK politics right now as well as the Scottish / Irish issues combined with a healthy bunch of scapegoating could just about do it. Best case the Union collapses, Scotland joins the EU (against the wishes of Spain this will be a hard thing to accomplish) and Ireland does not fall back into their old habits.

It's a serious problem and the number of people that will suffer because of these idiots that are trying hard to diminish the size of the pond so they will appear bigger is going to be in the 10's of millions at best, many more in the worst case.
I did my undergrad in economics a decade and a half ago, and it could have just as easily been an applied statistics degree with a few classes on the history of politics.

I had to independently go read Hayek, Marx, Rothbard etc...and at the time there really wasnt any research that attempted quantifying value or mapping preferences to anything measurable.

So I'm glad to see this line of study come back into the discipline.
Yes, pretty normal.

For temperatures near 100C the conversion is easy.

Ovens report temperatures in F, computers in C, shrug.

In general you use F for human temperatures (air temperature, fever, and cooking), and C for everything else. F has a better range for air and body temperature anyway.

Maybe Europeans will switch to F, and Americans will switch to Km :)

(In case you wonder why F is better: The coldest temperature normally experienced by people is 0F and the typical temperature is near 100F. Unlike C where you go negative, and the typical is 20.)
I often find that with most irc channels.
Depends on the nature of the service, but contrary to a popular HN opinion it typically makes more sense to release something well polished yet late, than something crippled and half-baked yet early.

If your primary goal is to gather a feedback, do a private, by-invite beta.
Exactly. Good form on free weights > Using a machine > Bad form on free weights. For me, introducing free weights gradually let me concentrate on the form for each one as I first did it.
I think his attitude is wonderful and refreshing. It makes me happy to take him at his word.

I saw a story recently of a guy released from jail after some 20 years of wrongful incarceration, and his attitude was so amazing. Wayne reminds me of that. We can learn a lot from both - they both make me feel so petty.
If I understand you correctly, yes.
I'm a Mormon, too, and just wanted to point out a couple of things:

> we fast for 2 meals on the first Sunday of every month.

Not everyone does (pregnant or nursing women, or the sick, for example (edit: or people who just don't wanna)), and not everyone fasts for that period of time. Some people in different roles in the church (what non-Mormons might call a prophetic / visionary role) are encouraged to fast more often.

> For Mormons, food and drink is abstained starting Saturday night after dinner until Sunday night's dinner.

Many will frequently shift their fasting times. I do. Just posting this because I often talk to people who tell me exactly what I believe, because they read it online.

> In both cases, Mormon fasting and participating in Ramadan, I can say that I have noticed personal health benefits

I'm just another anecdote, but I have noticed no personal health benefits. What I would call thinking or meditation benefits, perhaps. I have frequently felt relief that while I may have overeaten the day before a fast, my belt will usually fit nicely on the following fast day. ;)
I am also unable to visit the page. I'm on Android 4.2, using Firefox and Chrome.
It's not so surprising to me. When you have stomach ache, the first thing they tell you is not to eat until you have been cleansed. We have always done that in my family. Also, once that I had a weird allergy on my skin (I'm not allergic to anything) I fasted for 4 days drinking Aquarius and some ham and rice the last 2 days. I didn't need any pills.
Edit: see reply below, I think I misunderstood the parent post.

> If you use 'Login with X' you're giving X access to all your accounts.

That's definitely not correct. You are giving X to access only whatever scopes you allowed, on a single account.

Here's an example of just 'userinfo'. Click this and see what it asks for: https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?service=lso&conti...

Per the screen, it only allows:

" - View your full name, profile picture and profile URL"

" - View any publicly available information on your Google+
profile (if you have one or create one in the future)"

It can't see your photos, see your contacts, read your email, post G+ messages, or anything else you didn't authorise.
The goofy look is really just an image processing problem. If it has a camera watching the face (I know it has one watching the eyes), it wouldn't be impossible to reconstruct what the face looks like without the goggles.
Thanks, that's a helpful link.

'Twould be delightful to know just how they treated the existing Trident sources...
For better or worse, most of these articles are US-centric because that's where most of the R&D money for health ML is.

The far more reasonable approach is to make sure your data contains as many demographics as possible (not just race) from your actual patient population. If there happen to be gaps, then put in at least a reasonable effort to fill them instead of shrugging and saying "it's out of our control". That, along with a per-demographic breakdown of important metrics and your point about qualifying demographics in the data (which is already done in most medical publications, including many using ML) would already be a huge improvement on what most people do now.

Ironically, it's the big tech companies that have the hardest time with this because they want to make generally deployable projects, yet don't have access to as much data as many healthcare orgs do. Frankly, I don't have much sympathy for them: a lot of this is trust issues from self-inflicted damage.
But "enough" energy is something like 5-10 times the energy needed if we just electrified things.
Anecdotally I've seen multiple people flee California due to overly restrictive coronavirus lockdown rules. Texas seems to be the most popular destination, and also Florida and other southeast states. Why wait indefinitely for California to reopen schools, businesses, and sports when other states have already done so?
Haha, but actually, you might have to put up with that soon. There's recent research on a blockchain technology called: "proof of space" which would require systems with large storage to idle for long periods of time I believe.

EDIT: proof of storage -> proof of space
That's not the case, unless you consider tenement conditions acceptable. The working class in these cities aren't suddenly affording $2000 in rent, they are simply cramming more people and more incomes into smaller apartments (1). In Houston over the last 10 years alone, some neighborhoods rate of overcrowding has gone up well over 100% (2). No, Houston is not building enough either, and paying for the population increase by sacrificing the quality of life of the overcrowded working poor, and pushing the middle class out of the city and elsewhere.

If your housing market's affordability depended on everyone living in the area having low incomes, maybe it's not any better than California's housing market.
Apple M1 is the kind of thing that truly impresses in the post-Jobs era, IMO.
