I think developers of elliptic curve crypto overestimate their ability too. Avoiding side channels in RSA is easier than avoiding them in ECC - fewer moving parts.

Well put.
If Africa was indeed used as an example of high cultural diversity, and we agree it's mostly "non white people", then I don't think that would be an issue here, right?
All right, inmates. We have a new job opening up soon in the prison, that pays $2.00 per hour! By a show of hands, how many of you have a medical degree with experience in oncology? And any in vascular surgery? Any medical degree at all? Psychiatrists, even?

Ok, looks like just those two. Anybody else? Maybe just a B.S. in chemistry or biology?

If you lack existing qualifications, and are still interested, the state has given us a grant to provide a twelve week training course to make some of you inmates into bona fide researchers, to investigate cures for cancer and vascular disease. You cannot have any disciplinary infractions for the entire twelve weeks if you want to graduate.

If you know someone who is a doctor, please also look into our referral program, wherein if you can successfully frame or entrap a physician into committing a felony, you can receive furlough days, conjugal visits, or even sentence reduction.

I was going to reply do your #2 and ask why doesn't her kid just take the school bus like everyone else, but did a quick search and learned today that California does not require schools to provide busses! WTF is up with that? We force parents to send their kids to school, but don't provide a way to get them to school, and punish the kid with detention when they're late or don't come? Now THAT is messed up.

How do kids in CA expected to get to school if they're not within walking distance and have no public transportation?

Saildrone Inc. | http://www.saildrone.com/#Careers | Full-Time ONSITE | Alameda, CA

DATA ENGINEERING LEAD

Data is Everything. We can't understand what is happening to our oceans and climate without it. However, while obtaining precision ocean data is very tough, it is only a small part of the puzzle. Storing, visualizing and distributing the data to scientists and customers, in a form that they can manage, understand and manipulate, is a gargantuan task. A task that the ocean community has not yet been able to fully solve. At Saildrone, we intend to solve that problem and are looking for a transformational individual to spearhead that challenge.

Our fleet of Saildrones collect data at a rate, precision and price point that was previously impossible. With NOAA approved data precision and demonstrated reliability, we are now growing our fleet of autonomous vehicles from tens to hundreds, hence need a data architecture that can meet the demand. Challenges range from simply collecting and storing that data in reliable and secure repositories, to visualization and sophisticated augmentation of that data with third party data sets and satellite oceanography, all without compromising precision and always maintaining instant access to raw data. Regularly changing payloads, with different parameters and constantly varying sampling frequencies, give unique challenges to even the latest data storage solutions.

Saildrone is searching for more than a 'software engineer with data skills'. We need a 'Data Jedi' with deep knowledge of the software systems that create, store and distribute our data, coupled with an understanding of the challenges ahead as we create the richest and most advanced ocean data set on the planet.

INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING LEAD

Our Saildrone vehicles operate in one of the harshest environments on the planet, sending back consistent, high quality data, on extreme duration missions. While each Saildrone vehicle is incredibly robust, we also need a back-end and server-side infrastructure that is equally robust to support our drone network and data repositories.

At Saildrone, we are looking for an energetic and dynamic engineer to lead the ongoing creation and maintenance of our technical infrastructure. Responsibilities will range from network and tech-ops at our shoreside headquarters, to managing our cloud based networks and data repositories. Technical challenges range from optimizing performance and reliability to enabling rapid scalability. Ideal candidates would also have some experience at sys-admin level on embedded Linux hardware. This role requires both a strong technical mindset to solve complex problems as well as the people skills to grow and develop the team.

What I've Learned About Learning and Educational Plans
I feel you
The closest is really backpacking food that you can find at your local outdoor store. You can get freeze dried versions of pretty much whatever you want.

The military also produces meals ready to eat (MREs) which are fairly easy for civilians to procure. Radiation is used to kill every living thing in MREs so the food can be shipped with most of its water content in it and still lasts for decades. MREs are incredibly nutritionally dense, though the lack in the flavor department. But I bet the lack of flavor is because their made by the lowest bidder for the military and not because of a technical restriction.

If you just want a meal in a can, there are dozens of brands of meal replacement shakes you can get at your local grocery store.
The results given by this benchmark are bothering me because they do not fit with what I've seen in production.
For example, the `for-of-array` is transpiled by babel to something that has 2 nested try/catch blocks, and unfortunately, V8 has a nasty deoptimisation when dealing with these, even if no exception is ever thrown.

This deopt led to a several orders of magnitude slowdown compare to a simple `for` loop in Google Chrome, forcing use to abandon the `for of` construction.

I suspect that the benchmark shown on this page does not expose this kind of behavior because it doesn't iterate enough for the JIT to kick in. If it's the case, it means that these values reflects only the behavior of the cold, interpreted code, and not the hot one. (which is quite sad for a performance benchmark, because the performance matter only for the former …)
A single outlier over a single year does not mean anything either.

It used to be 90% of the population was working to produce food, now its around 1% and decreasing with increasing efficiency. So it is an increasingly negligible amount of labor needed to provide an already surplus amount of food.

It is cynical and ignorant to assume the dollar is the monotheistic deity of motivation for everyone. There are and have been countless cultures across the world who don't require monetary payment to produce the requisite food for the community.

In my experience, this is how developers see crypto:

RSA: "I learned that as an undergrad. It's just multiplication, I'll use GMP!"
ECC: "Whoa what the hell is this? I better use a library."

These are the same developers who ask on StackOverflow how to decrypt MD5, of course.

MailChimp is designed for sending newsletters to predefined lists, not bulk mail in general. They're not the same thing.

If you've built a monitoring tool that needs to notify 5 employees that their server has just gone down, you needed Mandrill, not MailChimp. These mails are "transactional" the same way a password reset is: they're programmatic responses to some event. They're also bulk, and if all 5 employees get the same message, now prohibited.

Mandrill was always for programmatic mail of any kind, not just one-to-one. Bulk mail was all over their sales material and knowledgebase. The context that separated Mandrill from MailChimp was that the mail is programmatic or automatic, rather than a newsletter you pre-write for a pre-made list. Their raison d’être was to provide reliable e-mail delivery for developers, regardless of what you were sending, up until last week.

A tech job in Europe does not mean Berlin or London. Zurich has the ETH university and the biggest Google office outside the US. It is a great place to live and is the only place where net-salaries are on par with the Bay Area.

Salaries are in the range of 7000 - 10.000 CHF / month after taxes and apartments can be way cheaper than in San Francisco.

Zurich is expensive but als tiny. Almost everyone lives "in the suburbs" where the rents are half as much and which only means a 10-15 min commute[1] to town (using the superb public transport).

I am a technical recruiter with a software engineering background and I live in Zurich. You find my email address in my HN-handle.

Hmm? Money spent on university operations is not an investment expense.
You've got to also factor in that someone from the industrial revolution era didn't even had the concept or living for the clock, working for wages or consumerist society, if you had your house and fields and chickens and some pigs plus your wife/you had took an extra-income of manufacturing and selling products in your own place, with time left for leisure and family and you were not starving, even though you worked a lot you were doing it for yourself and your subsistence means were actually yours, you could be somewhat happy and feel free with that, no? And then instead of buying goods directly from you you're now told that you'll be inside a factory producing for x hours for income just enough to sustain yourself, how is this any so much better? Plenty of people at the time thought that was not much different from being a slave, land meant freedom.

I've only been briefly in San Fransisco. As a non American I think there is a certain exhilaration with these American cities. All sorts of people talk to you, while at the same time American cities to me often seem quite scary and dangerous, but often in a kind of exciting way.

I remember my first day in San Fransisco in the tenderloin district. It felt like I was walking in a real world grand theft auto with dangerous gang bangers, people yelling and each other across the streets and gangs of though guys on the corners. It was both exciting and scary.

But I also met very open minded and exciting people and went to some really nice restaurants.

But as this Londoner describes it. All sorts of transport and infrastructure seemed absolutely terrible in SF. I was surprised that this sort of tech capital of the world was so run down in many ways. The airport was an awful mess, and subway getting there was really filthy.

I've been to London a number of times. Kind of hard to compare. Despite being much bigger I actually felt safer in London, and it has great public transport. What the tech scene is like I have no idea. But I come from small town Norway so London is way too big for me. My favorite city is Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
