Lionheart Software | Austin, TX | Lead Software Engineer | Onsite

Lionheart works with early-stage startups with non-technical founders. We've been at this since 2010 and our referral network has gotten to a point where we need to make the jump and bring on some more help. We are currently two engineers and are looking to bring on #3.

http://lionheartsw.com/ (yes, yes, the cobbler's son has no shoes)

We're fast and nimble, get to choose what projects we work on, what tech we work with, don't have to deal with much technical debt, and build awesome products from the ground up. Our role is to help get the companies we work with get to MVP as soon as possible.

Once we ship, we help our clients interview or onboard a CTO or lead engineer or stick around for as-needed help. In many cases, though, we've just been retained indefinitely (I like to think it's because our clients like us so much!). In some special cases, we take equity. We are currently booked through mid-October.

Key Skills (not requirements by any means, but preferable since these will help you hit the ground running)

* iOS Development

* Python/Django

This is not a junior role. You should be capable / have experience with critiquing everything from napkin sketches to fully-fledged visual designs and then shipping. We have a very design-focused product development process, so ideally you have an eye for design in addition to being a kickass developer.

What you get (not going to be coy about numbers. we need help now):

* Salary: $80k guaranteed, up to $120k + Bonus DOE

* Equity: 1-5% (depends on role, experience, and contribution)

Austin-based candidates highly preferred.

If any of this sounds intriguing, just send me an email (see profile).

Nebulous, Inc. | Cryptocurrency/Distributed Systems development | ONSITE (Boston)

Position: Web developer/designer

Nebulous is developing a cloud storage platform that allows users to rent out their hard drive space in exchange for cryptocurrency. Our backend is fairly mature, and we are now working on an Electron-based desktop UI. We are looking for a webdev to develop this UI full-time.

Experience with Electron/node.js is a plus, as is an eye for design. But far more important is a clear passion for programming, and a drive to expand and refine one's skill set with the goal of writing great code.

We've seen attempts at modular phones, but I think that's misguided.I'd rather have an iPhone that has hot-swappable storage (SD card, as you said) for tailoring a phone to a particular situation. Sometimes I want to maximise space for storing photos, sometimes I want to switch in a music collection, or movies to watch on a plane.

AT&T bans port 25 as well so you cannot run a SMTP server, they do that to cut down on spam.

I remember my son was in an out of town Soccer game, and we stayed in a hotel. One of the other families brought their XBox 360 and tried to plug it into the Ethernet port and unplug the custom game console controller that rented Nintendo 64 games and plug the XBox 360 into their TV set. For some reason their Internet blocked access to the ports that the XBox 360 used to sign in and play games so they couldn't play anything. I guess they wanted to force people to rent N64 games on their custom video game console controller?

If enough ISPs block port 8333, the Bitcoin programs will have to be changed to be like the Bittorrent clients to use a random port and connect via a tracker or something to that port.
Sadly just another reason why employers in the future would prefer a robot worker over a human one.

> I think it's clearer if you don't bring in the lemma.

Well of course it's clearer, it's because you're working with specific example, whereas Yoneda applies in a very general setting, you just have to see how you can "squint" and see the general setup in the specific case.

People always talk about a category Hask, but you can easily imagine a category "C" in an analogous way. You can also imagine an "SSA" category of a static single-assignment intermediate language of a compiler. Compilation would be a functor from C to SSA. Likewise you can consider an (endo)functor from C to C which turns a function from direct style to CPS, and then run the compiler to get SSA. You can then ask is the SSA generated in both steps the same "semantically". Actually proving that in all its gory detail is simplified by making the right setup as explicated by user tel and then applying the Yoneda lemma at the right moment to conclude the proof.

More interestingly you can ask questions like does an SSA optimisation, an (endo)functor on SSA correspond to some optimisation in C that could be a source-to-source transform.

Etc, etc.

The purpose of mathematical abstraction is simplification, even though it may transmogrify the concrete into a seemingly unpalatable form.
The D.C. Metro system was planed in the '60 and constructed in the '70s, with the first operations starting in 1976. It too is based on electro-mechanical relays, although it's more ambitious, after the operator closes the doors and sees all is fine, he hits a "go" button and the system automatically takes the train to the next station, avoiding collisions as long as the "is there a train in the next segment" sensor system is working.
His "it's not the pipeline" argument rests on 30% of STEM degrees going to women, but that is for all STEM degrees. In the degrees most relevant to Silicon Valley, engineering and computer science, it is 16%. The average is pulled up to 30% by much higher concentrations of women in physical sciences (40%), math and statistics (42%), and biology (58%).

16% of the engineering/CS degrees going to women lines up very nicely with the 15% he cites for the number of tech jobs in the Bay Area being held by women.

Many of the comparisons of Silicon Valley to national averages are comparing very different types of companies. For example, the comparison of executives is comparing to the S&P 100. I see no reason to expect that, say, a pharmaceutical company absent discrimination would be expected to have the same percentage of women executives as a computer software company absent discrimination. As his link on STEM degrees shows, women make up a considerably higher percentage of the degrees that would be of interest to a pharmaceutical company.

Be careful using those lists to show that people on them are "religious"; the articles' notes themselves quote laureate Orhan Pamuk (on the list of Muslim laureates) as saying "I do not believe in a personal connection to God" and James Gleick as saying that laureate Richard Feynman (on the list of Jewish laureates) was "distinctly uninterested in either the faith or sociology of Judaism".

You can also follow random Wikipedia article links and find, for example, laureate Joseph Rotblat saying "I am not a particularly religious person, and this is the reason for my agnosticism".

Emotions are cognition. I think in the blooming of rationality as a mode of engaging the world we forgot to keep that in mind. It is easy to focus on the mode of cognition most amenable to rational methods, the verbal. Just because emotions are not words does not mean they do not follow their own logic. Engaging your emotions 'rationally' is extremely important! There is a reason why we fall in love with people who speak to us in a way that seems to transcend mere words.

Emotions change as they are 'processed' and as new observations are made. That sounds like a 'logical' process to me. It's just hard to turn such processes into processes involving words (at least for me!).

Geometric, visual thinking is often as invaluable as logical, verbal thinking in mathematics. I believe that emotional thinking (some uses of the word 'thought' render that phrase paradoxical) is valuable in many human undertakings, too. I admire those who can swiftly translate emotions into words and back again. It is a form of power just barely beyond my grasp.
I have a friend who is a restaurant owner. From what i've heard, their business model is to display the worst reviews and then try to extort the business owner in order to display better ones. They wanted something to the tune of several thousand dollars. He called them 'The Yelp Mafia.'

I don't get why there's so much agreement here that that's the desirable outcome.

I'm not sure that's the case. For me, at least, I believe there are better ways than rent control to keep people of lesser means in their homes. A benefit of finding one of those means, and killing rent control, would be that the lower median rent would also benefit people of higher socio-economic status who feel the crunch but wouldn't be eligible for low-income housing.

I don't mind the downvotes on this.

ROTFL, LMAO

Really? Yet another true believer in the "Rational Market Theory".

Yet another techie type that thinks humans are rational.

... yet you can't explain:

* Love,

* why marketing works,

* why shiny pretty packaging effects how people perceive the quality of the product in the packaging,

* or why people use price as an indicator of status. ( are those $300 pair of jeans really 10x better than a $30 pair ? )

If you can't explain and predict those non-"logical" behaviors, stop thinking you understand how people will budget their time.

Give me the downvotes, I don't care :-)

If the null-hypothesis is true, every observation made should be consistent with it. This will result in P(X|H) trending to 1 (since there will be experimental variance). No other experimental design makes sense.

>The meaning [of p-value when H is false] is clear: "the probability of getting a value for the statistic as high as the observed one if the null hypothesis was true"

This is a logical fallacy. It is counterfactual to consider a world where the null hypothesis is true, when it is not.

In fact, this is precisely the feature of the universe that p-value based experimentation exploits and is essentially the only way for us to gain any information about 'reality'.

>By definition, if the null hypothesis is true the p-value is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1.

I don't think so. If that were true, p-value would be entirely useless.

It wont cost them money if they have a double opt-in. But you will punish those without the double opt-in by pushing them up to the next tier in the payment plan sooner. The amount of money they waste one one dodgy email address is minuscule though.
