I specialize in identifying and fixing hard-to-find bugs on iOS and have worked at previous companies to raise crash-free rates dramatically.

For iOS especially, I can help with: Core Data, multi-threading issues (GCD, NSOperationQueue), memory pressure and general performance issues.
Lyst | London, UK | ONSITE

When we started Lyst, the fashion world felt to us like the most broken thing online. So we thought we'd try and fix it.

Hiring process: On application an initial phone call, then a take home task. No deadline, any language you like, tested internally to be achievable in 1-2 hours, dare I say it 'fun'. Then a technically focused call followed by a single onsite interview over an afternoon, covering fit (as a first class citizen), coding and technical common sense.

Lyst is a VC backed fashion e-commerce service. Lyst has grown over 300% every year since launch in 2011 and has raised over $60M from top-tier investors

At the heart of Lyst is a data aggregator that lists millions of products from hundreds of designers, brands and retail partners. A scraping architecture that makes more than 4 million calls a day, we automatically add, de-duplicate and moderate 1000s of new products to the site every week. On top of this data, we build systems that help people discover, follow and buy from their favourite fashion brands.

Lyst is principally a python shop, but really we just want to hire great engineers regardless of language background. Our tech blog is a good place to learn more about the sort of problems we work on

Dr Michael Gilmore, who wrote that report, apparently had not actually seen the aircraft up close until less than a year ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9re9tJckTlk

The pilot in this video, LtCol Christine Mau is a F-15E combat veteran is now flying the F-35. The video description incorrectly states the director of the JSF is "General Michael Gilmore". LTG Chris Bogdan is the JSF Executive Officer and has seen the F-35 up close and flown chased flights from an F-16.

For the OT&E Office at the Pentagon, they do not actually fly the jet, or operate the jet, or even touch the jet.

There are a handful of DoD "civilian" pilots who evaluate the aircraft for the Office of Secretary of Defense. None of the DoD pilots have made public statements regarding the F-35 airframe having any major issues.
I interviewed at Percolate a few months ago and it was a really disorganized and offputting process. I had to wait in the lobby for 10 mins (I showed up on time) while people ran around and tried to figure things out and then they directed me to another floor where I had to wait another 10 minutes. And then the interview was conducted in an incredibly loud and distracting open office, not in a private room or anything like that. I was constantly interrupted by people trying to talk to the interviewer - I guess they didn't realize it was an interview? - and he wanted me to code stuff out on pieces of scrap paper (like actually torn paper from a notebook) and pen.

Hopefully this has been remedied but it was honestly a very negative process.

> I stopped listening to medical practitioners and starting experimenting with the foods I ate, using pairs testing with a glucose monitor.

I sometimes wonder if the state of medical ethics is killing us. We've made it so expensive to do a medical study that nobody is going to do it unless the end result is something they can sell, so the only "solutions" we get are drugs because there is no money to be made in prescribing diabetics a diet of fish and vegetables.

It's a sad state if an individual can learn more by experimenting on themselves than their doctor knows because the doctor isn't allowed to participate in or publish the result of the same experiment without a multi-million dollar budget.

EnergyHub | Brooklyn, NY | http://www.energyhub.com/ | Full-Time | ONSITE

Like the electricity grid? Want to help keep it running? At EnergyHub, we work with utilities and consumers to turn smart thermostats (and other devices) into virtual power plants, dialing back demand at times of system stress. We save users money, we save utilities headaches, and we save EVERYONE the emission of harmful greenhouse gases. And we do it with - you guessed it - software.

We're a small team, so you will be exposed to much of the stack - from Java services speaking to devices, to html/ios/android frontends; from Python analytical code (thermal modeling, etc), to operations in Ansible. ("Hey: Ansible is written in Python, so that second phrase isn't really a contrast!" - great point. It sounds like you know something about the tools we use, and are a critical thinker! Please consider applying!)

I had basically forgotten about this company. They received a lot of press on how overvalued they were and there were plenty of doubts that they could sustain their success even at their peak.
But is kinda silly how "numeric passcodes are protected individual privacies, but fingerprints are not" in this case.

The use of your blood or DNA in the case should dictate if it's applicable or not, not the nature of the evidence itself.
When I applied, the interview process went like this:

> 1st phone interview (screening) -> 2nd phone interview (technical) -> [crickets]

I get it, we are all busy, but I think sending a "No, thanks" email to applicants who have spent time on your interviews isn't asking too much.

I'm not talking about precheck. At my local airport (and others I have been to) there is a regular TSA line with one screener at the end of the line. Once you clear the ID and ticket check you go into multiple lines for the scanner/bag check. Some airports have a separate line for business customers that goes straight to the ID/ticket check. We all pay the same fixed TSA fee ($2.50 I think) but they get to bypass the main line simply because they purchased a more expensive ticket from the airline (not the TSA). If I'm number 50 in line and 5 passengers get let in before me, then I'm now number 55 in line...
> You have to go through security again for international flights that connect to a domestic flight, but not usually (ever?) if you've passed TSA within the US and are connecting to leave the country.

There are lots of times when with domestic -> international flights (or even domestic -> domestic, in some cases) there would be terminal transfers required that would leave the secured zone and thus require passing through security again incidentally, even without a specific policy.

Several airports where I know this was an issue have been redesigned to alleviate this, but I'm sure there are some where it is still an issue.

We are looking for bright, hands-on engineers with a good testing ethic. The interview process consists of a ~30 minute google hangout phone screen to get to know each other. Then, we will schedule an office visit where we spend a couple hours pair programming on a task that is similar to something you might see on your first day of work.

I love the hiring process at Compose. I myself have applied here. I also love it how they understand the pain points in the hiring process and sympathize with potential candidates.

However, I am a little disappointed. Given the process they have and the ranking procedures, unfortunately, the process is very time taking. Been 8+ weeks after I turned in the coding exercises and haven't heard back anything (positive remarks or a rejection) yet. So far I have been to a decent amount of hiring procedures (have been extended 2 offers and declined), and the entire procedure is usually 6-8 weeks. But again those hiring procedures are quite "traditional" compared to how Compose is performing. I guess, patience is virtue :)

Anyways, overall I enjoyed working on the problems and exercises. Good luck!

"iPhone requires your passcode after restarting" vs "Touch ID requires your passcode when iPhone restarts"
Also, if Touch ID is disabled then putting a finger on the sensor does nothing, but if it's enabled it shows the passcode screen with the above message

Edit: with Touch ID enabled, if you slide to the lock screen without touching the sensor, it says "iPhone requires your passcode after restarting" but the title says "Touch ID or Enter Passcode"

The Internet of Things Will Spawn a New Breed of Data Centers
Isolating a few of the variables would help clarify some of the questions this study raises:

1) Amount of excess weight / median weight. E.g. Does the effect of the bodies homeostasis change as a person gets more severely overweight?

2) Speed of weight loss. Does loosing 1lb/day/week/month affect the bodies homeostasis differently?

3) Types of foods affect on homeostasis. Do substances like sugar have a worse effect than others? Does a diet high in something like vegetables tend towards a healthier homeostasis?

4) Amount of time for homeostatic change. Does being 100lbs overweight for a year or 5 years make a difference?

>> And with his report from Dr. Hall’s group showing just how much his metabolism had slowed, he stopped blaming himself for his weight gain.

Its critical to help people struggling with weight loss to deal not only with the nutritional challenges, but also psychological issues behind weight loss (guilt, depression, helplessness). However, presenting the problem as a binary (purely biological vs purely will) may actually not be the best approach. The individuals still played a part in their initial weight gain. The repeated dietary decisions leading to obesity are obviously complicated by family history, misinformation, failure to realize the full consequences, and other factors both within and outside the control of the person. And neither does the person's complicity, to whatever extent, in gaining weight mean they should receive any less sympathy or help. I say this because of the persistence of the myth that weight gain can be easily undone with just a few weeks/months of discipline, a myth perpetuated by shows like The Big Loser. Weight gain is an insidious danger that can have long lasting implications and be very difficult to extricate oneself from. That point seems quite clear from the research but never addressed in the article.

> Craig Wright seems to be wanting the fame, in a narcissistic way... That is the only reason I can imagine including GQ. Any other reasons for including such a media outlet?

Because a lot of others turned him down? As the FT article says, he was trying to get participants for a while but was going through a PR firm and insisting on NDAs up front and that sort of thing. Given that everyone thinks he's a conman, who wants to sign up for that? Apparently only the BBC, GQ, and the Economist had the balls.

Maybe this will get enough people to FINALLY start demanding funding for high speed rail corridors. I can't imaging getting to the airport, waiting in line for like 2 hours and then getting on a 45 min flight to Portland from Seattle.

Its crazy that the US doesn't have true high speed rail on the northeast corridor and the other high speed rail corridors identified such as between Chicago and St. Louis. Many other counties have HSR so its obviously a matter of priorities.

I know the current California HSR project is a bit of a mess but instead of abandoning HSR altogether we should find out why it's a mess and try to streamline projects like this going forward.

Hyperloop will be cool once/if its built, but for now HSR is the only game in town for fast ground transportation that moves a lot of people.
SEEKING WORK

ROLE: Writer.

LOCATION: New York.

REMOTE: Yes.

WILLING TO RELOCATE: For the right job.

SKILLS: Writing, web dev, management, teaching.

Woke up at 5 a.m. to write before work every day to clinch a three-year fellowship at a top MFA program for writing (highest-paying, <1% acceptance rate). Clients and employers say things like "does extraordinarily high quality work" and "raises the bar high." Helped scale a startup to annual sales over $250M while earning 100% manager approval rating from anonymous employee polls. I enjoy cycling, syntax, and strategy, and my sense of humor is heroic.

Just got back from five months in Buenos Aires working on a novel and teaching myself how to code. I'm now back in the States and looking for work that matters.
