Button is building an ecosystem of connections that drive commerce. We're partnered with some of the largest commerce apps like Uber, OpenTable, TicketMaster, and more – allowing you to add real-time inventory for these on-demand services to users in your app. We were also recently named by Crain's as the best place to work in NYC[1]!

We use a mix of different technologies, but some common themes are NodeJS, Python, React/Flux, Docker/ECS, Objective-C, and Java.

Goodbye Mailchimp. $500 per month soon to be spent elsewhere.
All I could think about during the bragging tone was how even Lenny Dykstra did really well in the financial markets before falling from grace. I'm not saying it'll happen to nxVenture Capital. I'm also not saying it won't happen. Life and markets are funny that way.
"Different results will be achievable with different equipment. Please send your results to sbr@phor.net"

I think the barrier to entry for this is raised by the fact that most people don't have AM receivers anymore. If I find one lying around though, I will certainly give this a try.

Ah, and apparently this proof-of-concept works exclusively on OSX for now.
Well they do have responsibility to police - if app x infringes company y content it is up to y to notify google. Same as with any breaking of guidelines.

As a person that has had dealings with apple submission process and dev accounts - lets agree to disagree. These people wanted credit card information faxed to them.
Yes, strange was not the right word.

What China is doing is like building a whole housing development before selling any, but on a much larger scale.

It's the scale that I find striking.
Well, the vast majority of new apps come to Apple first, and the vast majority of money made on apps is on iOS.
This is super awesome! I'm a little bit disappointed with the examples from the company behind the product though[1]

Many of these could probably just have been made with a cookie cutter or a pastry bag. I could imagine the the big issue with supporting all types of materials is the wild inconsistencies in viscosity for the different types of food.

There are in fact-- seasons of a Man's Life, this theme is as old as time (see 1 Corinthians 13:11).

Relative to worrying about no new areas to become interested in-- I was reminded of the Sharon Gannon quote “We create the world we live in. If we want to change what we don't like in the world, we must start by changing what we don't like about ourselves.”

Yes, the content of the article seems to contradict the headline. Isn't it the opposite of the headline? Soldier who ignored Waze ended up in a dangerous firefight?
An "oracle" is simply an circumstance in which an adversary can coerce you to use your secret key to do a useful computation, some result of which is revealed.

Padding oracles are a subset of "error oracles", which are oracles that come from exception processing. The "useful computation" you're being forced into doing is "decrypting, checking for errors, and then somehow signaling the error."

Think of error oracles this way: imagine a situation in which an adversary can hand you a ciphertext which, when decrypted, will trigger an error (in a padding oracle, that error is "the padding is wrong"). Now imagine that the error, revealed to the adversary, allows them to infer one bit of the plaintext. Not very useful by itself, but, as a final step, imagine that the attacker can permute the same ciphertext, generating (or not generating) an error and allowing them to reveal a different bit of the plaintext.

As long as they can keep doing that, they'll eventually recover the whole plaintext.

Here's a good starting point:

Gametime United | San Francisco | Full-Time | On-Site

Searching for high-performing Android and Ruby Engineers. --> https://jobs.lever.co/gametime

Gametime (https://angel.co/gametime) connects communities through frictionless and beautiful mobile applications. We believe communities get closer when people get off the couch and have fun at a live event. Backed by Accel Partners as well as team owners Jeff Mallett (Giants / Whitecaps / Derby FC), Vivek Ranadive (Kings), and David Blitzer (76ers / Devils) we've raised $13mm (including $8mm in May of 2015).

Built for iOS and Android, Gametime makes getting into the game as amazing as being there. Inside gametime.co/app we provide high-res panoramic photos from every section, curated listings as we decrease a universe of 5000 options to the 50 best with ultra fast two-tap checkout and no printing. With our mobile-only approach, we've reduced a 30-minute process to 30 seconds. This approach has led to fast (600% annual) and viral (92% of new purchasers hear about the app from friends) growth.

New Gametimers join for the community of high-performers (known as the Gameteam). New employees also love the environment as we aspire to build the best place to work in SF...

We offer market rate salary (even though we’re small) and real equity (meaning you come out way ahead). Everyone here does meaningful work. You won't end up on the "login button team" here, you will be a big part of the most important conversations on the engineering team. There’s free catered lunch Monday through Thursday and lunch on the company outside the office on Friday! Who said there was no such thing? We offer Blue Cross / Blue Shield via Zenefits and dental insurance. We also have monthly $75 cell phone reimbursement and $80 commuter benefit. We love going to games and we're right by AT&T Park so (if you're into it) you'll hit a bunch of them with your $100 monthly Gametime credit. Go Giants!

In summary, we're fast, well-funded and growing quickly. It's an exciting time to join the Gameteam.
The F-35 alone is $163 billion over budget, with each plane costing hundreds of millions. Meanwhile, the $77 billion F-22 planes have been barely used, and probably won't be in the near future.

> Their main play here has been to try to generate enough of a PR shitstorm that Apple decides not to challenge the writ and just plays along.

Insofar as there is a political/PR battle, I think its just as likely that they want to lose publicly and use that to reinforce moves under way for getting specific new authority legislated. It's perhaps not coincidental that the various All-Writs Acts cases all came up after discussion of Congress adopting rules regulating provision of consumer end-to-end encryption.
I've lived and worked in the UK most of my life and moved to SF three years ago. There were a few things you omitted in your comparison but probably won't immediately apparent in the short time you were here.

Salary difference. On average Most decent experienced devs in London make around 50-60k pounds which is around 80-85k dollars. An entry level dev in SF makes anywhere between 90 - 120k dollars and most experienced devs earn at least 120k dollars with the range around 110-150k. So roughly a 30-60k+ dollar/year difference.

Healthcare. Almost all the companies I've worked for have covered my healthcare costs so I only have to pay copays - as an idea 20 dollars to see my GP and 30 to see a specialist. I had 8 weeks of physio last year and my total out of pocket was around 600 dollars including a CT scan, which I could pay using pre tax dollars.
So the overall cost was pretty low. I also got to see a physio the same day rather than waiting 6 weeks+ on the NHS. My total max out of pocket is 3000 meaning I don't pay anything more than that. Given the significantly higher salary even if I were to hit my max it would still be worth it.

The cost of living is comparable although certain things are cheaper - gas, trainers(sneakers), car insurance to name a few. Food is roughly the same I reckon.

Overall working in London vs working in the US I saved significantly more money - it's not even close. Although a tin of heinz beans costs two dollars so that's made a pretty big dent in my savings ;-)
I think her post was fairly constructive. She made a number of concrete, actionable suggestions, and she made a compelling argument that high turnover in the customer service department is placing a strict, very low upper bound on the overall quality of customer service (she pointed out that while she gave away ~$600 in waivers and coupons in her first month, she only gave away $15 in her last three months due to her growing experience with handling customers and de-escalating problematic scenarios).

You are both right. That was worded wrong. The Intern would work closely with our Staff and not be just left to their own devices. Sorry about that. We didn't want this to seem like we're just looking for free labor to get work done which is why this is only opened to Students in school. We want them to get real-world exposure while getting much needed credits.
I'll be one of the new maintainers at my newish job here in Memphis. Neat to inherit such a cleanly-managed Rails codebase!
I imagine there was some kind of crisis happening behind-the-scenes... That's the only explanation I see for the overnight policy change and lagging updates on the site. Either that or total incompetence.

Interestingly, their (former) competitors are taking full advantage of the outrage by running ads on Twitter and LinkedIn aimed at Mandrill customers who've been screwed.

Endowments also worry about mapping their endowment to potential future costs or liabilities:

1) When the economy is bad, they need to provide more financial aid, so they want some counter-cyclical assets. (Long term bonds who increase in value when rates decline are an example.)

2) If they want to expand in the future, they don't want to be priced out of their neighborhood, so they're more likely to invest in local real estate.

This doesn't mean that endowments are all optimally managed - many would still be better served with ETFs. It's just not as simple as tossing everything into the S&P500.

Maybe because her post was whiny more than constructive criticism.

Maybe it was. But there are also moment where, when someone says or does something that seems rash and ill-considered (and may even seem a bit unsettling) -- when we would hope that an inner voice would call out for, you know, magnanimity and restraint:

Wait, are there military "Waze" deployments? That'd probably be pretty useful, yes? In addition to the routing information, a military could have an "enterprise" Waze that contained a bunch of intel marked on a map based on reports from the field.
Why my mother’s maiden name is nonsense
Without repeating the same oft-repeated policy wonk points from either side of the debate, could we NAME / LIST the PRIMARY STAKEHOLDERS who BENEFIT from the PREVAILING HOMELESSNESS INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX and thus benefit from undergirding the STATUS QUO?

Anyone know who owns the majority of the city's SROs?

I'd start there.

Look, as we speak the DPW trucks are dismantling some of the tents on Division St. [1][2] However longtime residents of SF will tell you that it doesn't even merit a small applause. SF's homelessness problem isn't even dinged much less dented.

The city hall's money purses aren't kept overflowing by the likes of you and me - at least not yet in any meaningful way, although the likelihood of the emergence of a strong technology voting block / interest group isn't far away.

Until then identifying the key players who sustain this very flawed complex, is in itself a great first stab.

Paid User Acquisition for Early Stage Startups – Part 1
For me, both the film and the series are excellent but entirely separate works. The film perfectly captures Motoko's world through imagery and music. Her existence is all about isolation and introspection, punctuated by chaotic violence. You get a visceral impression of what it's like to be one of the first transhumans.

The series breaks from this pacing and overall impressionistic presentation. It has plenty of time for developing more characters and a complex story. The Motoko in GitS is so different that she's almost a different character, and while that sort of fits the narrative of the movie I don't think that was the intention. To be honest I got bored with some of more procedural episodes, and the long-running complex plot could be really confusing. The characterization of Batou and the Tachikomas is really interesting though, and the action sequences become much more compelling after you feel like you have more invested in the characters.

Nothing about the weather in England is especially constant. On average, it rains more than some places. But mostly people appreciate the change — it's nice to have a week of clear blue skies in the winter, but it wouldn't be appreciated if the whole month was like that.

And, of course people are acclimatized to it. People are born and used to living in Greenland, or the Sahara. London is easy!

San Francisco is actually more humid in the mornings than London, year round.

I'm very bearish on the future of human drivers. Human drivers sleep and wheel and drink and drive much more frequently than computers crash. But the computers will have glitches in edge cases that humans are better equipped to serve. It's part of the trade-off. It we can cut even half of the 30,000+ auto fatalities a year, it's worth it.
