Ride with GPS | Portland, OR | Onsite | http://ridewithgps.com

We're a small but very strong team (8 of us) helping people have a better time on their bikes. Specializing in route planning & ride recording (with an established website and popular app), we work closely with individual riders, clubs, events, tour companies, and more.

We're ready to expand our team as we find the right people specializing in any of the following:

- Design: We need someone on board who can make everything we have (and are building) look great, and can lead on difficult UX problems.
- Frontend: Lots of cool stuff on our website, with lots more in the pipeline. We're in the process of moving all new dev to React/Redux.
- Mobile: iOS or Android devs interested, please inquire. We've got awesome users that regularly spend hours relying on our app, and it does a lot.
- Backend/devops: We rack our own hardware, host an OSM stack, MySQL, Redis, Rails, and more, and would love someone on the team that can split their time between backend dev and devops with a focus on either.

We work reasonable hours, have great benefits, love solving problems for our customers, go on bike rides and encourage each other to live healthy happy lives. It's a really nice working environment with a cool product and customer.

Our users love us: https://twitter.com/airtable/timelines/566728799115440128

We’re hiring engineers for web (JS, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android. There are 14 of us right now, with backgrounds from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

So a single IP address can DDoS each page of a website for a little while before CloudFlare blocks them? That makes the whole protection pretty useless. I guess it would stop someone from brute-forcing password attempts, but that's not the only thing they're trying to protect against here.
I disagree. My experience with free software, albeit small, is a positive one. I gain immense satisfaction from knowing people use and rely on pieces of software that I've written. When my users ask me for updates and make feature requests, I get excited and it really drives me to work. In addition, any time I see my software in use in the wild, I feel like a proud father watching his child grow up.

> If you actually study a bit about China, you would know that rumors are a huge problem and people are not cautious enough to verify them before getting tricked into believing them.

Rumors spread quickly in the United States too, often through Facebook and Twitter. We even have a website dedicated to debunking them (snopes.com). But we don't see rumors that Trader Joe's is going out of business, the Weather Channel switching to Celsius, or that the president is a Muslim as a particular problem or a justification for totalitarianism.
This article is full of FUD, and shows a very naive understanding of how to maintain and deploy software.

The "problems" he talks about are caused by so many other problems he has (no version control, not knowing what's in production, making breaking changes as part of a small bug fix, not testing changes, etc, etc).

And, his proposed fix - use a scripting language - would break too if he made a backwards-incompatible change.

talk about a chicken little, omg the sky is falling post. Don't listen to this guy about joining the technology workforce, there remains a bright future in doing so. It's hard work, and not for everyone, but if you like it then jump on in and join the party.

" A single computer program written by perhaps a dozen developers can wipe out hundreds of jobs."

So on one hand, don't be a "coder" because it's a dead end job; on the other hand a dozen developers can get paid to write a single computer program. So which is it? should we be the developers writing the programs that may or may not take all these awesome jobs away? I for one would choose to be on the side that is writing the program than getting replaced by it.

Can software replace jobs, sure can, but you fail to reason how not being a "coder" helps your future.
> Tor needs to clean up and police its network

I think you don't understand what Tor is or how it works. Tor is a way to anonymize its users. You have no way to analyze a packet until it reaches an exit node, and you have no way to analyze that packet if it's done over https, and you have no way to block an ip from that exit node because it comes from another node where plenty of other ips are coming from. If you start blocking this node, then the spammer can choose a different path and come from another node, or just change his exit node.

tl;dr: what you are saying goes against Tor's principles.
Who cares, this is some real 4chan bait if you ask me.
This sounds like a really cool project. Good luck!

This is amazing. Looking at the example comparison list, I love seeing the algorithm "correct" the color based on its biases. "No, people do not have pink hair: I made you blond." "Shoes are always a shade of brown (including black); the idea of shoes that are pink, purple, or even grey, morally offends me." "I don't understand why you would paint the frame of this window that crazy shade of green... let's go with a dark stain; doesn't that look classier?" "I've seen this insect before: I don't remember its name, but it was definitely brown, so stop trying to trick me into thinking it is bright blue with your silly Photoshop shenanigans." "Also: I've seen muzzles before, and they are made out of rusted metal; I don't know where you got this blue rubber-coated comfort muzzle, but back in my day we didn't have those extravagances." "On a similar note: I don't understand how your watch is glowing blue... back lights are supposed to be a dull and mottled yellow." "One red stripe on your truck is enough to make the point: three red stripes makes you look like you have no taste :/." "And why would you go to the trouble of forcing people to take a photo in front of a custom backdrop and not take the opportunity to print the name of your company in an eye-catching color, such as red?" "I am pretty certain all radiators everywhere are colored using the same aging white paint that has started browining from the heat; it gives a comfortable feeling of familiarity that your bright green radiator lacks." "Mittens are supposed to be festive, so why did you get grey ones?! I've colored them red: that should help."

You are misinterpreting my comment.

Honesty and integrity has always been part of the China's cultural tradition and it was recently added into list of "socialist core values". It is reflective of the general consensus of population on the core characteristics of a Chinese person, and not related to the Chinese government specifically.

Re: Spam Classification Server. The problem went away when I moved my domain away from Google Apps. Literally, the exact same test message that I could not send when I had my domain on Google Apps, I could send once my domain was on Fastmail. Nothing changed, but that my message was now routing via Fastmail's SMTP servers vs the Google Apps SMTP servers. Same message content, same client IP, same MUA, same destination (I had a friend with a Google Apps domain setup a test group for me to send to on his domain).

When a company doesn't pay on time without forewarning, it tends to be a bad sign in regard to their financial picture. It is not uncommon for companies to experience temporary problems with cash flow, but when the picture is positive in the short term, there's less incentive to avoid the unpleasant conversation. When the outlook is grim, decent people (and most people are) want to avoid lying and so the conversation gets put off.

To put it another way, employees are usually the last people to not get paid. Vendors, landlords, utility companies, etc. are much easier to delay, e.g. landlords don't want to evict tenants because of the associated expense. Employees are likely to just stop showing up.

On the bright side, if you always wanted to be a bank offering zero interest loans to companies that don't pay their employees, this is your chance. Because apparently the company cannot borrow money to cover operating expenses.

Good luck.
It's a problem inherent in any system offering pure anonymity in an unrestricted way.

It's really a shame. An opinionless platform offering anonymity cannot flourish in an opinionated world. At some point if these things want to succeed, they need to play by the rules of the world that they exist in. But I don't think anyone's figured out a common set of systemic restrictions that Tor, 4chan, etc. can implement that avoid taking away their primary affordance: freedom.

CM's privacy guard doesn't deny access to the contacts, it returns a valid address book listing... just an empty one instead of your real contacts.

Privacy Guard was implemented well before the idea of individual permissions being denied made its way into the Android base, so most apps were not implemented with this expectation and would explode completely if the call to fetch the address book entries failed.

Which is just to say that that's not really a valid comparison.
RepSpark Systems | Costa Mesa, CA | Full-time | ONSITE

We’re a casual, eight-person software development team based in Orange County, CA. We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows, enabling sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (i.e. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Armada ends up on Backcountry). Our stack includes JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, memcached, MongoDB, React.js, and Redux.

We are looking for talented engineers who have strong skills in application-level TypeScript/JavaScript. This includes engineers with experience applying design patterns to their code (Module, Sandbox, etc.), implementing modularization, writing unit tests, and optimizing performance.

We think it’s especially awesome if you have experience with modern JavaScript libraries, such as Backbone.js, React.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, Polymer.js, etc. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and Agile team and may take a lead role on various software components.

We’re also big on fun. It’s not uncommon to spontaneously jump into a table tennis match. Plus, every Friday we eat and drink together.

Please email hn@repspark.com with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!
> The very fast 0-60 times that you see in electric cars are a function not of their massive engines or super tuned turbos, but of their instantaneous torque (as they are electric).

No, not quite. 0-60 times in an electric car are determined by power. You're right that motors don't have to change too much to be more powerful, but _delivering_ that much power becomes difficult.

First off, batteries can only deliver so much power, in proportion to their size. So, a 90kWh battery will be able to deliver more power than a 60kWh one. Then you have to change the DC power of the battery to AC for the motor: the more you want to handle the more inverter you need and the more costs rise. And all the ancillary things around the drivetrain need to scale up: cooling, copper wire gauge, etc.

It's easier to go fast in an EV, but you still don't get it for free. I'd actually prefer an 8-second 0-60 if they could put that money somewhere else. That's plenty fast for me.
Payments originating from TOR IP addresses absolutely are more likely to be fraudulent. Anyone running an online business could tell you that.

I can't believe there's even discussion about this. The facts are clear. Hillary Clinton didn't like the onerous security rules she had to follow so she ignored them.
details: http://observer.com/2016/03/hillary-has-an-nsa-problem/
If any of you have security clearance consider for a moment what would happen if you did the same. Your access would be suspended and you'd be called to account for every piece of information you mishandled. At the end you'd be prosecuted for any beech of secrecy that was discovered and your clearance would almost certainly be revoked.

If we treat her differently because of her name and her connections we call into question the very rule of law in this country. Maybe Anarchists would rejoice in such an outcome as proof of the utter corruption and uselessness of our justice system, but people who care about law and justice certainly shouldn't applaud it.

In her defense I agree that the security policies were silly and didn't actually increase security enough to warrant the disruption. I can totally understand that someone wouldn't want to comply.

On the other hand she was the goddamned Secretary of State, the person who should be most concerned about protecting information security in the State Department. Rather than thinking like a leader and working to set a policy that is both secure and usable she simply ignored the rules she didn't like.

Aside from questions of prosecution this behavior causes me to seriously question her ability to lead. If you had to classify her behavior in this case would you put in the category of things a leader does or things a petulant child does?
What I don't get is, why wasn't the man asked to move?

Again and again, this bumps up with my core belief that, you can believe whatever the hell you want, as long as you don't impose it on others. This is a clear violation of that.
Question: what if you just had some global function pointer that you would call instead, so hotpatching would just involve changing the pointer? That seems a lot simpler, there's less that can go wrong, and is a lot more portable. I get that this would probably be slower for the caller, but it's not that much slower. If the function is in the hot path that function pointer will be in cache anyway, so how slow is that read compared to the 8-byte NOP? It sounds to me like the OPs code will only be a cycle or two faster for each call during normal execution. Maybe I'm forgetting something.
