Our positions are not substantially far apart except regarding hedge funds power. You first expanded "hedge funds" to include everyone looking to make a buck; then you said counterparties are easy to find for all these money looking to short. I don't see how that can be logically consistent. If everyone intending to short finds a long to match at the current price, why would that bother the PBoC?

As I said I believe the hedge funds bets against the yuan are relatively safe. I believe this is the case because they are working for the PBoC, not against it. The PBoC apparently would not mind the yuan to weaken over time. It just doesn't want it too quickly or disorderly. It wants to give time to companies that borrowed in USD to bet on yuan appreciation to unwind but it does not want to freak out retail savers to jump on the same trade so it is a delicate position. One can debate if such a policy is wise but I don't think it is at all like the all powerful hedgies put a gun to the PBoC's head. Having the offshore yuan trade lower actually provides political cover for the PBoC in Washington. It is just that herding cats can be challenging.

Two things...

- If you're just browsing and you run a business, drop me an
email, I'd love to figure out ways to add value to your business.

- If you have an idea already I work with most technologies
and can quickly build an MVP/prototype from scratch or
get up-to-speed to contribute on a currently-running project.

I'm an experienced full-stack developer.

I've worked in the following technologies on the server-side (Node, Rust, Postgres, Python, Neo4j), and on the client-side (JavaScript, React, Swift, etc.) However, I can probably pick up any language or tool that you're already using, so if I haven't mentioned it, just ask.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you think I can help you in any way!

I find that stuff you've mentioned to be a great complement to working in the software field. Perhaps it's because we're exercising our creativity in new ways, where we wouldn't necessarily be able to do in a routine software job (there are only so many new challenges one faces day to day).

There was too much noise in the data to make real comparisons. Yes, 41% of the dazzle ships were struck amidships, compared to 52% of the uncamouflaged. However, dazzle ships where generally larger, so this may have been due to near misses becoming hits.

IMO, dazzle would have only been useful when subs where under time pressure. However, it's a paint job so even a tiny difference would make this cost effective.
Easy means:

* breakpoint debugging
* ability to step debugger line by line
* high quality watch window

GDB does not qualify as easy. Ability to printf debug, while 100% mandatory, is also not easy.

Snapdocs | San Francisco, onsite | Rails Engineers

We're an early-stage, rapidly growing company looking for an experienced and empathetic Rails engineer. The ideal candidate is someone who plans to become a lead engineer (or perhaps a product manager) in the not too distant future.

We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We bring security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.

The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, and data. Monolith vs microservice is an ongoing debate. We are working to find a good authentication pattern that allows for people to work across companies in multiple roles (which is trickier than you might think!). Domain Driven Design is our guiding light.

Snapdocs’ culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.

==Job Description and Required Skills==

* Rails Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. Ideally, you're a full stack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and enjoy) your strengths.

* Being the 5th member of on a fast-growing technical team. This means helping to form a healthy and happy culture. We strive to be respectful of each other's time and point of view. We're learning how to do this together. We want to create a place where it's OK to fail, and that you know the team has your back the whole way through.

* Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

* Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.

* Knowledge of AWS would be excellent.

* UX experience (or interest in cultivating it) would be excellent.

Send an email to jobs@snapdocs.com telling us about yourself. Please include a resume and a link to github (and specific github repos) if your profile is informative.

It depends on a lot of things; OFDM modulation multi path and fading mitigation, MIMO space-time coding for channel capacity increases, adaptive beam forming, error correction, efficient power amplification, base-band processing.

For Google's line of sight application, the adaptive beam forming and power amplification are the main tech drivers.
The end-user rarely use knowningly a FTDI chip or driver. They are part of a larger product that he payed for. An extreme example would be Monsanto selling genetically modified corn and potato seeds. Once they find counterfeit corn seeds, they alter their potato seeds so that when consumed with counterfeit corn seeds they make you vomit. You visit a restaurant, order a salad and since “you don't have license to consume the corn” you end up in the bathroom. :)

There is a free-software FTDI driver[1]. What this driver doesn't do, is to destroy or send random data to a chip it doesn't recognize as original.

This, right here, is a brilliant comment.

The pop culture obsession with the valley tech industry, and the resulting insane expectations folks hold when entering the industry, is a disservice to us all.

I love the work I do. It's not life changing. It's not going to make me rich in money or in spirit. It's a cushy lifestyle job that gives me the time and monetary freedom to do the other things I'm passionate about.

But that doesn't align with the fantasy of the valley, or frankly, the American protestant work ethic.
Mystery Applicant Ltd / REMOTE (UK)

We are looking for a senior Ruby/Rails developer to join our team. The work is primarily on a Rails app but there is also a significant ETL and ops component to the work.

We are based in Bath, UK, but would be happy to work with people remotely as long as they are GMT±1 and can come to Bath relatively regularly to interact with the team.

More details here: https://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs/106972/senior-rails-d...
8/10

Pros:
- I get paid a lot of money doing what I did as a hobby when I was younger
- I come in whenever I want and leave whenever I want
- I can work from home whenever I want
- My work is intellectually stimulating
- My coworkers are smart and interesting
- I get to play with dogs at work
- If I don't like my job, I can get 5 other offers within a week

Cons:
- I still make less than I would have if I pursued law, finance, or medicine
- Most interviews are some sort of hostile, cargo-cult nonsense
- Those 5 offers would not offer me anything significantly different from each other or my current job
- Nearly all of my coworkers care more about playing with the latest technologies and building unnecessary frameworks than actually making things
- The best companies/jobs are all in Silicon Valley or SF, whereas I want to live in NYC

I don't really like the "industrialized software development" model most companies follow. Wherever I work, I am 2-5x more productive than the average developer. When I start, I usually am on a team with people who are similarly productive. But, as our success grows, we hire more people who are less productive (against my wishes), and the people I used to work with either leave or get promoted to management, which means I don't get to work with them anymore. I also get promoted to management, which means that I spend less time programming and more time doing things I don't enjoy.

Yes, I get that it's hard to hire exceptional people. I get that companies would rather consist of many easy-to-replace mediocre people than a few hard-to-replace exceptional people. I get that, at a certain size, predictability matters more than speed, and having more people on the team allows their idiosyncrasies to cancel out.

I just wish that I could work on a small team of really smart, really well-compensated people. Does such a thing exist? Should I take Google's job offer (from what I hear, they over-staff every team)? Should I look into hedge funds (not super interested in building stuff I can't use)? Should I say "fuck it" and try to get a job as a quant or trader (I've gotten offers in the past)?

Really? Compared to the ignorant ranting of parent comment?
Meaningless was a poor choice of word. The $500 a year will obviously impact the decisions made by students. But I think it is useful to compare the total costs, not just the costs observable by the student.

The outcomes in the US certainly aren't impressive, college degrees are becoming basic credentials, with little consideration of their utility. Not all academic pursuit needs to be measured against the economic utility it provides, but at a systemic level you probably want it to be at least roughly balanced against that utility.
In practice, this is probably correct (Microsoft cares a lot about backward compatibility, and many programs depend on MSVCRT.DLL).

However, the official word from Microsoft is that MSVCRT.DLL is only intended for operating system components to use, not user applications. For example, see Raymond Chen's blog on the subject. [1]

This is a really scary movement, not only because he's blatantly straw-manning both Dawkins and Darwin, but because he's a populist without proper scientific credentials subtly pushing an agenda -- we could call him the Glenn Beck to Russell Brand's Joe Rogan.

Nobody properly doing science ever suggests that we ever have all the answers and it frightens me that celebrities are so often given a podium of regressive anti-intellectualism on which to challenge the corpus of established scientific knowledge and even to misrepresent it.
> You possess an either infantile and misinformed understanding of Marx, or you're just being ideological here.<

I don't understand what is offending you so much here. I am claiming that Marx does not understand Capital, and just because he claimed to have analysed the role of 'capital', it doesn't mean that he 'understood' it. A christian biologist writing about the role of fossils doesn't mean he understands it.

> His careful inspection did not reveal a conspiracy theory; instead, it elucidated the ways capital influences our material existence. <

Did Marx not say that the employer is able to claim a right to 'surplus labor' because the capitalist class (state being one of them) protects this right(property rights)?

Does he not claim that almost all property is acquired via theft and coercion of the labor class? I understand that conspiracy theory is a loaded term, but his idea of 'class interest' is nothing but a conspiracy theory. That somehow all the capitalist are conspiring against the workers, without being explicitly aware of it.

Karl Marx did not understand that Capital allows production but doing division of 'labor'(used here to mean 'tasks'). Workers don't need to invest their time in the production process, and wait for the revenue of a business to pour in, while a person specializing in saving, does the job of providing the wages.

That this is a necessary factor needed in any economy and it's impossible for any society (including the one recommending by Marx) to live by not having division of capital accumulation from labor.
That resonates a lot with me. A few years back my manager in a big-co with a lofty motto would not allow me to work remotely for a week or two to stay closer to my dying parent. As she pointed out, "a lot of innovation happens at the watercooler".
While I've never been, I was close friends with a professor of English who used to go to Kalamazoo every year. I love history myself so I enjoyed hearing about his work when I would visit him.
