Kentik | San Francisco | Full Time | REMOTE, VISA considered

https://www.kentik.com/careers/

Interested in building a time series database, crafting a sleek, intuitive front-end, or evangelizing a breakthrough approach to network intelligence? This is your opportunity to get involved in a dynamic San Francisco-based startup with major growth potential. Kentik Technologies is the creator of Kentik Detect, a big data-based SaaS for network visibility, DDoS detection, and infrastructure optimization. Accessible via portal, psql client, and API, Kentik Detect is the network visibility solution that our founders — former network operators from Akamai, Netflix, YouTube, and CloudFlare — always wanted but could never find. It lets network operators see complete traffic paths, find root causes for link congestion, reduce costs by peering with other networks, and know immediately when their networks are under DDoS attack. It's already in use at companies like Yelp, Box, Neustar, and OpenDNS. And with your help we can keep making it even better.

On the backend we're looking for folks with real-world experience building distributed systems in Go/C/C++. On the front end we need experts at both client- and server-side JavaScript, with broad experience in monitoring, visualization, and building state-of-the-art Web applications. And in sales we need proven performers with a track record in highly technical markets (network-related preferred).

Sound like a good fit? Check us out at https://www.kentik.com/careers/, and contact us at hr@kentik.com.
While this is excellent news, couldn't find answers to a few important questions:

1. Where is the source for Boss Linux. It's based on Debian, but couldn't find the link to view the source. It's all nice to talk about embracing open source, but shouldn't CDAC also publish the source for Boss Linux?

2. What is the update mechanism? How frequently will this distro be updated?

Brit here. I wouldn't read "... but excludes debt" as meaning "... but subtracts debt from people's wealth when doing statistics", no. I'd guess I'm about as surprised to see it being used that way as an otherwise-similar non-Brit.
Your second sentence is not logically implied by the first sentence.

It is not uncommon to have phenotypes that are expressed only rarely although the genes that code for the phenotype are widely dispersed. Many well known genetic diseases fall into this category.
It looks like they _removed_ my username and profile, then _recreated_ it just for the sole purpose of this. This is pretty amazing.
Absolutely. I pick out one or two key features I want beyond the basics and then see if any of the highly rated models have those. If I'm shopping for a point and click that can take a picture only when it detects everyone's eyes open, then trying to make a decision on megapixels as well is pretty much waste of my time. I might as well flip a coin or choose the highest rated model with that feature (or give up on the feature if no models rate well!).

Similar levels of intelligence have been seen even in switched-at-birth twin cases where one twin is raised by one family and another by another. The IQ between the twins was in every case more correlated than the IQ of each twin and their family-siblings. Look up the interview with Nancy Segal on YouTube about Twin Studies and IQ.

I don't think this is particularly surprising or interesting on a global scale. Not least because of the difficulty in data collection that could lead to different conclusions the next time someone tries.

Wealth distribution within a country is an interesting thing to look at, but I think at the global level it's not nearly as compelling as, say, wealth distribution among countries.
It makes a lot of sense actually.

Poor people are not allowed to go into all that much debt. If you have somebody who is $2M in debt, chances are they are wealthy and were only allowed to accumulate all that much debt because of their influence and reputation or some other kind of leverage.

The average graduate who is $40K to $50K is not actually poorer than the homeless beggar who is in the green. They don't live as poor of a life and they have the potential to earn for more.
A neat exercise for anyone who thinks Wikipedia isn't a useful reference is to pick ten random subjects from Encyclopedia Britannica and see how many of them have an article in Wikipedia. (Answer is most likely "all of them".) Then do the opposite:

Space Flight Operations Center (in wiki but not E.B.)
Hypertrocta (in wiki but not E.B.)
Sokół motorcycles (in wiki but not E.B.)
Paradeudorix petersi (in wiki but not E.B.)
Bella Voce (in wiki but not E.B.)
...and so on...

Now there is a certain amount of vandalism, rumor, political skew, etc. so you should take what you read in Wikipedia with a grain of salt, but at least it's there. Most of the time it will point you to a more authoritative source in case you think someone's being deceptive about Osage oranges.

> former Star Trek writer and creator of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica Ron Moore revealed the secret formula to writing for Trek.

> He described how the writers would just insert "tech" into the scripts whenever they needed to resolve a story or plot line, then they'd have consultants fill in the appropriate words (aka technobabble) later.

> "It became the solution to so many plot lines and so many stories," Moore said. "It was so mechanical that we had science consultants who would just come up with the words for us and we'd just write 'tech' in the script. You know, Picard would say 'Commander La Forge, tech the tech to the warp drive.' I'm serious. If you look at those scripts, you'll see that."

> Moore then went on to describe how a typical script might read before the science consultants did their thing:

> La Forge: "Captain, the tech is overteching."

> Picard: "Well, route the auxiliary tech to the tech, Mr. La Forge."

> La Forge: "No, Captain. Captain, I've tried to tech the tech, and it won't work."

> Picard: "Well, then we're doomed."

> "And then Data pops up and says, 'Captain, there is a theory that if you tech the other tech ... '" Moore said. "It's a rhythm and it's a structure, and the words are meaningless. It's not about anything except just sort of going through this dance of how they tech their way out of it."

Update to the update...my profile is now back, again with accusations of spam: https://www.livecoding.tv/lazer/
How's that different from Windows? Instead of opening a terminal, I double click?
Tri-Alpha is the biggest private effort...about $200 million invested, 30 Ph.Ds, 150 employees. They recently announced they'd achieved stable plasma, the only major milestone left is scaling up the temperature. They think the plasma will get more stable at higher temperatures. Like focus fusion, they're attempting boron fusion.

Helion is similar to Tri-Alpha but with a pulsed design instead of steady state. They have funding from YCombinator. Instead of boron they're shooting for a hybrid D-D/D-He3 fuel cycle (the D-D reaction produces He3). They say only 6% of the energy released would be as neutron radiation.

Sandia's MagLIF project is interesting. According to their computer simulations they can get 100x to 1000x energy gain by preheating a fuel capsule and crushing it in an upgraded Z-Machine. Things are looking good so far.

UW has the Dynomak project, which is fairly similar to tokamak but a lot smaller and cheaper. They need $10 million to test the concept.
I feel with Netflix making watching episodes in order and re-watching shows much easier, DS9 is holding up pretty well. If you ignore some of the techno-bs and make a leap of faith on the religion stuff, the dialogue (while theatrical) is tight, the acting (besides the doctor) is pretty good, there's some suspense between the characters. The story evolves. Rewatching I especially like Quark, Garak, Odo - the characters that are not human and their different perspectives.
There's an undertone to this post that seems to be that Ada is quite a bad programming language. Are you certain it is ?

I'm not buying the old argument that it tries to do everything/too much therefore it's no-good, which seems to be the main thing people mention about Ada. A lot of languages tries to do a lot of things, and most of them let you chose what part of the language you use.

A few years back I was mainly doing C++, and looked a bit into Ada - it seems pretty alright. Not anything overly negative compared to the C++ work I was doing, and quite a few nifty things. Lacking is tooling and community though.

And, for those still watching the drama, they've actually updated your profile again, so the first "banned" line now reads

ANNED FROM LIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING
BANNED FROM LIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING+

The bizarre "+" is still there, but you've lost a "B" in "BANNED", so it looks like another by-hand update of your profile.
Trade shows are temporary. The advantage of a permanent showroom is that people know they can always go look at things right now.

> why not just let one buy the stuff?

Because then the store needs inventory, and all the overhead that entails. It is much cheaper to keep a single copy of everything.

But the perhaps bigger issue is one of incentives. I hate that when I'm at Best Buy looking at things, I know I'm being an annoying "showroomer", rather than a customer doing the correct and desired thing. Removing on-site sales from the equation aligns the incentives. Now the showroom will want to do whatever they can to make it easier for me to buy online, so that they get credit (and presumably commission) for the sale. Instead of trickery to confuse object recognition apps, maybe they'll make a really good augmented reality app that makes it stupidly easy to one-click order the exact thing they're looking at.
Not sure if someone recreated your account for laughs but it's up again with the same spamming accusation in the profile.
Right. Reading comprehension failure on my part, sorry :<.
Honestly, the most immediate effect you could have is to donate cash, food or clothing. Because those are real, immediate needs. So find some way to do that effectively (as possible, anyway). The closer you physically are the more of your donation is likely to make it to where it's needed.

Backing away from immediate needs, some suggestions:

- Work for a relevant NGO that needs your skills.
- Work for a relevant government agency that needs your skills.
- Work to eliminate the need to get on a smuggler's boat to make the first crossing.
- Work to make the land crossing safer and more predictable.

Those last two are obviously impossible for you, who works as a system administrator. So if you're a relevant constituent in one of the relevant countries, contact your representative or whatever you call it there, and politely hold their feet to the fire.
An app? The solution has existed for decades without being more complex than a lightbulb.. hit a button that turns on a light in the area so staff can come help you.

The specific case I'm thinking of was buying a graphing calculator that was locked in a case. Hit the button and someone will come by to get you one. Same concept on airplanes too, though.
5 Interview Questions on Node.js
They have most definitely not. There's just a higher signal to noise ratio.

You have
* Fargo
* Boardwalk Empire
* Mr Robot
* Suits
* True Detective

These are stellar shows with high production qualities.

There's generally no ads on web streaming during the show.
That is my view as well.

But having platform specific code hidden behind interfaces is way saner than having to write JNI for almost every framework API when using C++ for business logic.

The problem doesn't happen in the other mobile OSes thanks to Objective-C++ and C++/CX. My current approach.
A lot first season scripts were recycled TOS scripts or ideas for the abandoned "Star Trek Phase II" show. The later seasons' writing was geared more for the TNG characters & actors, which helped them feel more natural.
It is called product placement and although I have no first hand experience or knowledge, from what I've read it is very common. It is advertising.
It only shows lots of correlations.

The real problem might just as well be obesity, teenage births, imprisonment, educational performance or drug use.

If inequality is just one of the symptoms and not the real devil, then eradicating inequality would probably be rather destructive. Just like eradicating drug use seems to be destructive, because the underlying cause is mental problems.
For all of Star Trek, this is one discussion on the topic:

https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/wiki/where_should_i_start

For DS9 in particular, this link was helpful for me:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepSpaceNine/comments/1fkijc/ive_m...

There are 3 episode lists in there and a user named Algernon_Asimov has a "Hmph!" comment with a link to detailed episode lists for TNG + DS9
I've seen this said a lot, and I mean... the original Star Trek was a TV series in the late 60s, so in terms of what the effects were capable of on a TV budget and what standards and practices would allow, I think they were as action-oriented as they could be. The original run of Star Trek is filled with as many fistfights, space battles and fights to the death with the Vulcan Lirpa as the budget would allow. Trek was about much more than JUST action (Conscience Of The King is one of my favorite examples of this), but they did a lot of it.
So do you think this can be applied to say, D.R.Congo, Peru or India? There is a reason Scandinavian countries can have semi-socialistic governments. I have repeatedly say this: it is easy to play Socialism when your population is 1-10 million (All Scandinavian) , when you have natural resources (Norway) or high profit strong liberalized private industry (All). Clearly they will be tested by the coming crises such as emigration, declining prices of production and declining oil prices.
>I think that pretty much anything is fair game with this dude

What a terrible attitude
Are you going to make this/all open source? The work you are doing is so cool,that it probably can be used in other countries like India (which is already signing up for FOSS ijne-governance in a big way)

Why do government workers always need formal retraining? Every job i've ever worked involved constant intake of new skills without dropping tools and attending a class.
