Wanelo | San Francisco | Full-Stack Engineers and iOS Engineers | https://wanelo.com | ONSITE

Wanelo is a way to search, follow, and buy from all of your favorite stores in one place. It's used by millions of people who post tens of thousands of new products to Wanelo every day.

We have two positions available:

• _True_ full-stack engineers. Someone who has familiarity from server automation and writing bash scripts all the way to the user interface. Most of the code written for this job will be in Ruby (Rails).

• iOS Engineers. Our application is 100% Obj-C currently, so experience with that is a must.

We're looking for people with at least a year of relevant experience for the position, but we also value people who learn quickly. We're into TDD, pairing, and CI, with the understanding that these are just tools for the job and not the be-all and end-all. We value our lives over work (we work from 10am-7pm every day, but timing is flexible), but we love our jobs and the people we work with. We're looking for someone who likes to get stuff done, go for afternoon feelings walks (coffee + sunshine), and join in lunchtime debates about the merits of tacos (hint: they are delicious). Let's talk!

To get in touch, email play@wanelo.com or apply via http://hiring.wanelo.com
Yeah but its also a democracy. So public opinions matter in the long run.
I find the argument that the phone is an "extension of the mind" to be really interesting. If you think about it, doesn't our phone track our behaviors, suggest words when texting, etc.? Our phones are with us almost every single second of the day and we use these phones and store massive amounts of private and personal data and should we be forced to give over that data when forced to? I do not know the answer to this but this opens up the doors for conversations we need to have in such a fast-paced technology world.
We've found an issue with Safari Private Mode (OSX and Mobile). Thanks for letting us know.
Presumably, that works the same way as the people buying cannabis in Christiania — I briefly lived close to Christiania. The cash machines next to the metro station are the only ones where I've ever seen a queue, sometimes 4-5 people waiting at each one!
Well, having NHS as a citizen also comes with mandatory participation in financing it's operation - you can't opt-out of financing the NHS. That is the regulation and restriction side of equation.

That doesn't make it automatically bad of course, socialized healthcare is probably a good example where socialism works.

My understanding is that the car didn't change lanes. It was in the right lane the whole time,just hugging the curb. A bus (in the same lane) tried to pass, and hit the Google car when it got more centered in the right lane.

Lessons from a Real-Life Indiana Jones: Why Living an Adventurous Life Matters
A lot of devs in London are here to amass as much money as they can, so that they can retire early or at least move to a cheaper location later in life. While doing so, they are fine with living in substandard conditions (such as flatsharing in their thirties).

I think you're being too hard on the writer of the headline / title.

It is less misleading than the median headline on a web site by a for-profit news organization IMHO.

(((The headline on the OP and here on HN is currently "This man used a clever trick to find out what users really thought of his app".)))

How, in your opinion, did the article fail to deliver on the promises in the title?

Does the trick described fail to qualify as "clever"?

Grandparent's author (martinbryant): thanks for the interesting story. I can't explain why 3 of the comments here are so critical of your headline.
I've had a Mandrill account for about 3 years, and a Mailchimp account for about 4. I just cancelled my Mailchimp account and listed the reason as how poorly they handled this situation and how they screwed a customer over. I can't in good conscience support a company that could do this. I'll take my business elsewhere.

CoachUp - Boston, MA - ONSITE - Full time

I'm co-founder at CoachUp, a marketplace for sports coaching. We have 10,000 coaches on the site in 30 sports across the country, and we help connect them with athletes looking for private training. We're venture backed with about 30 employees and a dev team of 8.

We're looking to hire a mid- to senior- level full stack web developer, preferably with experience in Ruby on Rails. On the frontend we use React, with a recently overhauled setup that lets us use npm packages, ES6, webpack, and all that goodness. It's pretty sweet; ping me if you want details on how we integrated it with Rails's asset pipeline.

One perk of working here, which I guess distinguishes us from other posts here, is you get to meet professional athletes, which is kind of cool. Julian Edelman, Shane Batier, and Nerlens Noel have come by the office. We're working with Steph Curry, but he hasn't been by yet... maybe when they next play the Celtics :).

Email me either at gabe@coachup.com or my personal address in my HN profile for more informaiton.
Just like how AltaVista beat Google to the search engine market by several years? :)
Preference for Authoritarianism Predicts Support for Trump
Tyler, I echo the parent's comments. I took your React course on Egghead back in August and it was great.

Question: I've been meaning to come back to it and re-watch the videos, but I'm concerned that the React ecosystem changes quickly and they may have become outdated. Can you comment? Do you have plans to update/re-record the videos as new versions of React/Redux/Flux etc. come out?

Thanks again for all the great work you're doing.

P.S. It would also be great if you could put timestamps on videos and courses, as it's difficult to see when they were added.

You're still misunderstanding this point. It ins't about labor availability, but dependency ratio (people working vs. people not working).
Nothing usually prevents you using the preprocesor and the running your code through cpp before running/compiling in most languages.

I've always found MailChimp's editor to be a complete and utter nightmare to use, for formatting — it's so buggy — not to mention random shut-downs of other sub-services (such as the advanced editor).

They really need to sort out their developer evangelism.

I blogged about this last year; the sad reality is that the security of these "security questions" are more important than that of your password since they can be used to reset both your password for this site and everywhere else (as well as gain access to your bank, obtain credit cards in your ID, and more).

We need to obscure these in the database. You can't risk losing your ID entirely just because some random site didn't bother securing these details and fixated solely on "best practices" for password storage in the DB.

This is a really shitty situation but I'm not sure it's Yelp's fault.

There seems to be a fundamental assumption that, by paying someone to make sales calls for them, Yelp takes on a sort of overarching responsibility for that person's general well-being.

Is it just because Yelp is a big institution with deep pockets? Aren't the various governments bigger institutions with deeper pockets?

It seems to me much more logical that welfare should come from the state, and that people and corporations should be free to enter into or exit from mutually beneficial economic relationships.

The author proudly states that she doesn't rely on the state to care for her son, but why not? Wasn't she effectively relying on the goodwill of Yelp to care for her son?

You're right, perhaps I've allowed myself to become a bit cynical. I just tend to think that, rather than "heroic" figures our society has awarded outsize rewards (i.e. stupendously humungous amounts of money and/or recognition) we'd be better off looking for "heroic" qualities in people already around us -- and who may be serving in roles far less glamorous: teachers, social workers, parents... or the guy in the next cube, even.

You know, in the spirit of the:

>Note, when it says "1.6x faster" what is really means is "1.6 as fast" or "60% faster", or really "operates at 1.6x the speed of the baseline", not "1.6x increase in speed".

Isn't this always the case with such comparisons? One is meant to multiple initialValue by e.g. 1.6 (hence the "x", for multiple), not calculate initialValue + 1.6*initialValue.

Thomas Paine's Argument for Basic Income Explained
Wrote a simple proof of concept to illustrate the vulnerability in action: https://github.com/hderms/dh-CVE_2016_2098
tl/dr:

"MacWilliams studies authoritarianism... a psychological profile of individual voters that is characterized by a desire for order and a fear of outsiders. People who score high in authoritarianism, when they feel threatened, look for strong leaders who promise to take whatever action necessary to protect them from outsiders and prevent the changes they fear... He polled a large sample of likely voters... Not only did authoritarianism correlate, but it seemed to predict support for Trump more reliably than virtually any other indicator."

Hi, I'm the author of that post. If a thread is not available from the pool the calling thread tries to execute the operation itself. That allows the bolt to continue making progress but adds a simple back pressure mechanism.

This also avoids the overhead of any sort of locking to wait for a thread to be free. Since the number of bolt executors will always be much less than the number of threads in the IO pool it doesn't add too much the concurrency overall. Hope that makes sense.
I've already recommended the Atlas to all my friends who are starting and have started a business. What a great solution.

Is homeless the right word to use here?

This word is used to describe a very wide range of people, some of who are not homeless. Americans are very tolerant. Many have no problem handing a heroin addict cash and actually feel really good about themselves after doing it.

I've walked Manhattan alone at all hours, I've been in the worst neighborhoods of Chicago, bad neighborhoods in Brooklyn, major cities in the developing world alone on foot at night with no other caucasian in sight, all over Mexico, along with many other places and the one place where I am very aware of my surroundings and concerned is SF. I do not live there and never have, so that is as much opinion I can give.

Where in the Writs act or Constitution is an exception made for "dangerous uses"?
Anyone wanting more stuff like this can follow this search:

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=covert+channel+intel+ca...

The attack itself is based on Covert Channels: inadvertent information leaks that occur when two processes share a resource. They can show up whenever that is true. The way high-assurance systems tried to root them out was using a combination of manual and mathematical means. Kemmerer's Shared Resource Matrix (1983) more accessible because it's manual and straight-forward. Apply it to each layer & component of the system.

http://www.cs.unm.edu/~crandall/491591spring10/kemmerer.pdf

Far as hardware, there's a number of ways to mitigate stuff like this. One I only tried once was shutting off the cache or any other risk in CPU. Ouch. Conceptually easiest is to do Red-Black model where you run crypto and untrusted stuff on two different devices with interface that transfers fixed-rate, fixed-time w/ attention to error responses. That was military/NSA's trick. The next is SMP with separation kernels that keep trusted stuff on one CPU and untrusted on another again with fixed-size timing. Another is partitioned caches or caches with hard locks. They have prototypes, maybe production versions, but they're still new. Another I did was asynchronous, randomized execution for system tasks to mask timing. One researcher did the same thing even making a CPU for it.

So, there's your basic solutions to this problem that go way back. Decades, actually, if we're talking red-black or covert channel analysis. Cloud-style deployments will benefit from other techniques... maybe. Hard to tell as risk goes up. Hardware with multi-core, multi-thread, several layers of caching, and so on is not the ideal foundation for INFOSEC. That's just asking for leaks. I have no faith in long-term security of covert channel mitigations for such a setup. Although, one can design such CPU's to protect system integrity pretty well.
Sure. My disagreement, or actually, my skepticism is on whether having "more" centrally planning would have made things better. That idea seems to rely on some utopic visions of the political process, in which the responsible people are not only extremely honest, but also have uncanny foresight.
