Additionally, much of what most consider "tech" is actually media and entertainment. c.f. facebook, twitter, etc. - which just happen to utilize technology in their products.

There is surprisingly little tech going on in "tech" today.

I thought it was fairly discouraging that the docs weren't sufficient to get the author up and running with ssh; a lot of seemingly undocumented gotchas popped up.
The whole situation in the US is silly. Some background: when a major iOS version comes out, thanks to Apple not allowing downgrades (grrrrr...), my company buys a new set of test devices for each major iOS version. When iOS 9 came out, I went to Walmart with my manager's company credit card to get some iPods (cheapest iOS test devices).

The clerk asked me what I wanted and I said "5 iPods please". I would be suspicious if anyone asked for that many iDevices. When they realized they only had 3 iPods, I said I'd take those. When I went to check out, I asked them to break up the transactions into < $500 chunks so as to not cause additional oversight, they obliged.

This was the first time I had ever used a chip-enabled card. It was obvious to the cashier, I was fumbling around with the card and had to ask how to operate it. Finally, after I bought three iPods in two transactions with a card I had obviously never used before, with the merchandise in a bag in hand, they ask for the credit card and my ID to verify the name. Busted, I thought! But no, after explaining that I was buying the devices on behalf of my boss (with no proof of this) they let me go on my merry way. I was flabbergasted.

TLDR: If you have a stolen credit card and want to use it to buy expensive electronics to fence, go to the Electronics department at the West Lafayette Walmart. Chip and signature cards offer no improvement in security, even when faced with at least five big red flags that indicate fraud.

>The combination of re-hosted immature software and new processors resulted in avionics stability problems that were significantly worse than Block 2B

So, the upgrade actually made thing worse. I'm sure I'm colored by many of the negative articles about the F-35, but other than "we already spend a lot of money on this thing" and "there's no plan b", why aren't the F-35 scrapped?

For the US, it would maybe make sense to get the F-35 operational, but why would any other country, including my own, not pick a different plane?
I was speaking generally. You're response to whether or not he was going to get in a little hot water over this blog post was to jump immediately to the "he's legally allowed to!" which is a tenuous argument at best when it comes to maintaining interpersonal relationships.

In this specific case (salary info sharing) sure it is legal and protected, but he may or may not be doing his employer any favours. That's between him and his employer and honestly immaterial to the principles I'm trying to communicate here.

It's not "dystopian" to realize that you probably don't want to be pissing off your boss, even if they cannot legally punish you for it. Whether or not a specific action would piss off your boss is obviously something to be considered on a case by case basis.
Mesosphere | San Francisco, Berlin

What: Easy to run and scale. Mesosphere's data center OS makes it easy to run big data frameworks like Storm, Apache Spark, and Apache Hadoop. Applications designed for elasticity can leverage idle resources, improving resource utilization and reducing total costs.

Mesosphere's systems & networking team is currently looking for several talented and highly motivated software engineers to enable networking and service discovery for microservices and big data workloads.

Our team builds distributed control planes. These distributed control planes are the glue between the DCOS orchestration layer and off the shelf data planes, such as the Linux kernel.

We use whatever technology is required to achieve extremely high availability for our customers. Currently our tech stack is built in Erlang, C, and Go. We use underlying techniques such as gossip, CRDTs, probabilistic algorithms, and statistical analysis to build fault-tolerant distributed systems. We are trailblazers in the largely undefined territory of software defined infrastructure.

I finish university December 2016 (studying Computer Engineering + Econ) and am looking for developer and PM roles. I have previous internship and project experience doing mobile and web applications. I also particularly enjoyed learning about neural networks. Looking forward to joining a company that'll let me learn continuously, shoot me a message if you think there's a fit!

Also check out my side project: syntaxdb.com
The number of interns->hires I've seen that, once they got an offer, didn't even bother interviewing elsewhere is astounding. Then they stick around for 5 or 10 years.

I've told many of them that they are doing themselves a disservice. I see many carry intern shenanigan baggage with them for years, limiting opportunity because they aren't taken seriously.
Apparently the "verification" shell script that Craig supplied had a deliberate typo which made signature check step worthless: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4hfyyo/gavin_can_you_p...
Reddit, as a text forum, has a common problem with Poe's law: dry satire is sustained for too long and starts to be taken seriously.

Subs that start as sarcastic mockery become havens (and recruiting posts) for true believers.
> At least, at the end of the election cycle, I can cast a vote for someone who will appoint a Fed chair I like.

With Bitcoin, you can "cast your vote" for what software the network is running too; you buy a miner and contribute to a mining pool that agrees with your philosophies. Of course, unlike a federal election (or maybe not...), more capital => more votes.

The core developers really don't have any power beyond that given to them by individual miners and mining investors.
> In a small car, there probably simply wasn't enough room without completely changing the chassis design.

I am not an expert, but based on my understanding, the issue was not chassis design, but cost. http://www.autoblog.com/2015/09/30/vw-diesel-fix-would-have-...

The reclaiming system would add to the cost of the vehicle, and operating it properly would also decrease fuel economy. Both would tend to decrease sales. So this was strictly about profit for VW.

> WhyTF do you need a 10k mile service interval

Because people want their cars to support their lifestyle, not vice versa.

> But somehow people aren't competent to refill their AdBlue tank and need ridiculously-long service intervals? But they can be trusted to refill their fuel tanks with a highly-flammable and toxic substance

The issue is not one of consumer trust. It's practicality.
Gasoline filling stations are everywhere. Now: where can a consumer buy AdBlue or whatever the brand of urea is required by VW? No one wants a car that implies more complexity in their life.

For the love of god, it's time to admit that the F-22 wasn't too expensive, and crawl back to it.
BTW, the $15 bonus he received in would be about $110 in today's dollars. Still not much, but a bit more reasonable.

And, as others have said, he also received a regular salary and whatnot, so it's a bit disingenuous to say that he only got $15.

I remember seeing a video about chimpanzees collaborating to untie ropes. What surprised me wasn't the team problem solving, it's the speed and impliciteness. Each just poked at one side of the problem, got stuck, the got closer, somehow agreed on something then synchronized their actions so the rope would open the food gate.
In this case, "need" refers to the "if (x === undefined) { x = y }" pattern. Which is absolutely a need when implementing functions with variable arity.

If I need that pattern, I'd rather write it declaratively than imperatively. :)

RespondWell | Onsite (Portland, OR)

RespondWell is hiring. We’re hoping to bring a couple of experienced people onboard to help us build serious games in the healthcare industry, specifically in the rehab space. We use video games to help people get back on their feet after they’ve broken themselves via sprains, breaks, falls, or surgery. Come use your software development super-powers to help people feel better!
We're looking for two important hires: The first is a database & network engineer to help us scale our current system to deal with the increased server load as we continually get more customers. This position requires serious experience with PostgreSQL, setting up failover, replication, and load balancing on the server, and writing backend Python code to interface with the server web-framework (we use CherryPy). You'll also need experience setting up and administering a Linux VPS through AWS (mostly) or Azure (not as much).

The second position is a Unity3D engineer. For this position you must have substantial experience in Unity3D and C#, and have reasonable 3D math skills. Python experience is a huge plus but not required.

For both of these positions we’re looking for people who are self-directed and like working with cool technologies in ways that haven’t been used before. This job will definitely stretch your brain.

These jobs are located in Portland, Oregon, and would require relocation here, with assistance provided to the right candidates. We offer great salaries, great benefits, and a chance to work on projects that actually make people feel better. We work sane hours and don't throw around words like rockstar or ninja to describe our team. Work/life balance is extremely important to us.

If any of this sounds good and you fit the descriptions of what we're looking for, send your resume & any relevant links to jobs@respondwell.com and we'll take it from there.
Estonia's E-Residency program has gotten a few mentions on HN before, at one point they actually replied to some of the comments here on HN:

> I don't much care if police or fire is dispatched while we're out of the house. That's what insurance is for. I much prefer having the ability to monitor myself without an exorbitant monthly fee (I'm guessing it varies, but in my area it's typically about $100/month). It's mostly just to ensure I didn't drive off and leave the garage door open again anyways.

I care, because it's the reason I have a security system in the first place. I don't care much for a system that simply tells me if I left a door open. Also, there are things insurance can't replace. I'd rather pay for the risk reduction of having a monitored system then have to go through losing a bunch of personally important but otherwise middling value stuff again.

BTW, I only pay $58/month for full monitoring (burglar and fire), and could cut it to about $40/month if I shopped around.

> I bought several high-end 5 or 7 day programmable thermostats. Looking at Home Depot right now most of those are still pushing $200. And they're "Indiglo" pieces of junk that will be almost entirely illegible in a year's time IME.

I don't buy high-end thermostats. I put a $50 Honeywell (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Honeywell-5-2-Day-Programmable-Th...) in my mom's house and it has worked flawlessly for six years. I have the same basic thermostat in my own house, though that one is almost 20 years old. If it failed, I would get another one of those $50 Honeywells (or build my own). I'm not going to buy anything in Home Depots "WiFi" or "Touch Screen" categories until those come way down in price.

> The Honeywell Lyric for example can't turn on/off the fan on the device. You also can't schedule on the device. Need the app for that. And the app appears broken for a lot of users.

The Lyric is a piece of shit and I would never buy it.

> But back to thermostats. After reading the reviews this morning, unless you want to buy into a Kickstarter or something (with it's own risks), the market still seems to be mostly "garbage" IMO. Maybe the Ecobee is a decent Nest alternative? I dunno. I've had my Nest for about 5 years now. It's paid for itself. Hopefully I don't have to find out what else is out there anytime soon.

I think I understand your "garbage" comment now. You are only looking at the advanced, connected thermostats. In that case, I agree that everything in that segment except Nest is crap. Thing is, I don't care about that segment at all. Other than remote control I don't see anything any of those thermostats give me over standard 5-2 programmables that justifies the extra $200.
>I am absolutely convinced that I set myself up for this event over my decades of travel, lack of sleep, late-night dinners, entertaining clients, and long hours at the office in my 20s and 30s.

I did this for over 5 years starting at 18 (in a non-tech career field). I vowed that I would never take a position where 55+ hour work weeks are the norm. I hated working. My hatred at work enveloped my personal life. It was hell for me and everyone who was close to me.

It's ridiculous that we (generalizing) allow this to be the norm. I understand extenuating circumstances, but we have got to take better care of ourselves instead of letting the rockstar dev or code ninja monikers control us.

Regardless of my opinion on work hours, I'm glad that OP is in better condition.

Edit: The author is a CIO, so it's more understandable that longer hours are expected. I'm more talking about the 2-3 year devs in field who are letting their jobs drive the bus.
