I'm having a blast at Crowdstrike and we're getting ready to build out a set of datacenters and boy-howdy, could we use some help!

We have two open positions in my group, and also need 2-3 contractors to help us for a few months to deploy a few data centers and turn up systems and networking.

The two open positions are:

1. Systems/DevOps/Automation Engineer to help us setup systems automation, reliability, scalability, and monitoring. Full Time Permanent - work anywhere.

2. Network Engineer to setup the WAN and public cloud integration with the data centers. Full Time Permanent - work anywhere.

Please send me a note w/ your resume or any questions, or refer me to any folks who might be interested.

If you're semi-retired or have free time and are looking for a fun project to work on for a few weeks or months, this could be a great contracting gig and if you like us maybe you'd want to work with us long term? We'd love to have help w/ data center implementation, circuit delivery, and general linux stuff. We're also looking at bringing on some junior folks, so if you know or can recommend any folks early in their careers, please send them to me!

My email is alan hannan at crowdstrike.com.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Craig Wright initiating a Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi's wallet to a retailer, of a reporter's choosing, be all the proof you would need to validate his claims? If he has access to Satoshi's wallet then that's all the proof he needs.

Technologies: embedded (bare metal microcontrollers, RTOS and embedded Linux platforms), C/C++/Python/Lua/bash, Qt, Redis.
Résumé/CV: upon request
Email: nulleight@gmail.com

I mostly do embedded software and bootloaders now, however I also sometimes write cross platform GUIs using QT for the embedded parts as well. I have experience with integrating parts from different levels, for example Redis<->Modbus/CAN. I have some Java/Scheme experience, did some VHDL and will be glad to learn something new alltogether. I could be interested in a Job in an agile company with a slim bureaucracy.
Sadly, there's no indication of a proper protocol specification for the State Synchronization Protocol having been published in the four years since the authors suggested that SSP might be usable outwith just mosh.
Looks interesting, but I can't figure out where/for what it would be used. Am I missing something obvious?

I'm interested in back-end technologies. I'm also open to new, interesting challenges.
I've also found that basic problems like how to implement typical data structures (without unsafe code) are controversial, difficult, or actually impossible. That's really not good.

Still optimistic about Rust. But it has some fundamental issues to solve before it's generally usable.

Otherlab | SF Mission | Full-time | Software Engineer / Applied Math / Physics

We're hiring a few people for a new project to build engineering and simulation tools for compliant structures. Otherlab (https://otherlab.com/) has several projects building compliant robots, exoskeletons, heat exchangers, and other "soft" machines. Now we have the opportunity to build some software tools to help make these projects even better.
Experience with C++ and Python would be useful, as would some exposure to mathematical modeling, computational geometry, or current industry standard tools such as Comsol/Ansys/etc.

If you're interested shoot us an email at hn@otherlab.com
Congratulations on reaching 100 users. The important factor at this point is those user's level of engagement and usage patterns. Knowing how and why people use software is the key to understanding its potential for improvement.

The concern I always have with iOS apps is that the developer doesn't have any customers to talk to. For practical purposes of talking with people using the app, Apple stands in the way. At best there are metrics but metrics are not a substitute for direct engagement with users.

Even more concerning is that it limits the potential for reaching potential customers. Owning an iOS device is orthogonal to a person's level of interest in the content/service of the app. The standardized app store template makes all apps, good or bad, look the same.

Suppose that there was outside investment. How would you spend the money? What would make it a good investment?

So my random advice:

1. Communicate with users.

2. Look for a delivery channel that allows communicating with users.

3. Don't hire a cofounder. Founders should come together organically.

4. Don't be wed to the original idea or sunk costs.

5. Maybe look at Sam Altman's Startup Playbook.

Good luck.
Just about every complex engineering system is now a software project with an associated hardware component. You do not have a "decent plane" without good software.
I don't understand the confusion. Normal people includes a diverse group of people, including those you would consider "toxic". This is true in real life, and on every mainstream website. Real name policies did not change this. Because this is reality. Reddit has become more like facebook, twitter, etc. Because it has grown, and is no longer mainly a homogeneous little group of tech guys. Saying reddit has driven away normal people because it has become more representative of normal people is absurd.
Being paid and paying someone aren't the same thing.

Needless to say we have to keep going, well beyond building “YACA” (yet another CRUD app). We are taking on the $24B storage industry with a combined product and engineering team of 10 people. We are just getting started.

We are looking for someone with 4+ years of professional in-team experience (startup/other) and at least as many years coding.

> I would say it is cheaper to send bitcoin, and maybe smoother for two regular users of bitcoin (and who shop online at bitcoin accepting businesses).

In many places it's easier to sign up for a Bitcoin exchange from your couch than to drive to Western Union. I can personally vouch for the US, Canada, and Thailand, where I've had experience with it.
Just to be clear, "physical printouts" means their printing the code to paper? If so, why, and if not, what do you mean, and why is it done this way?
The solution should be relatively straightforward. Purpose built different airframes, with relatively conservative technology. Share components where it makes sense. Manufacture lots of airframes and spares. Update components later.

The next US fighter / attack program is going to be like that. It aims a lot lower and should be more predictable. I've lost track if it's called F-X or F/A-XX or what now, and what are the split parts etc...

Well it was OK then because it agreed with his worldview, you see.
F-35 looks like it's the most ambitious software project ever attempted.

- Lots of system integration for the final product from multiple suppliers (usually nightmare).

- Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) is critical for the maintainability and it's millions of lines of code. Failure rate of large projects like this is typically 40-60% and ALIS looks like it's more advanced than most bean counting systems ever delivered.

- Underlying hardware is slowly changing underneath because the system is late.

- It has frigging augmented reality system with helmets that integrates everything together.

- It's safety critical code.

Holy shit!
Uber's problem seems to be that they need to raise prices and cut driver rates once they've captured a market and driven out competition. Either that, or they need to switch to driverless cars to eliminate that component of their business - but that seems to be a ways off, and there's no reason to think other players won't be just as successful when you're able to remove drivers, one of the larger variables, from the overall equation.

Hey so this is Rusty -- What happened was basically that Internap shut down the data center we were in and had to move the servers, and I conspicuously failed to Deal With Things around that. The content is probably not gone forever, but it may be a little while before it reappears. There's a very good chance that it will reappear in the form of an archive of static html pages though, not a live community. So if you'd like to, this is probably a good time to mourn what it was, although in that sense K5 has clearly been over for years.
G5 | Bend, Oregon | Full time, on site

Looking for people who know Rails and other stuff: http://www.getg5.com/about/careers/ has the actual details and company pitch, so I'm just going to add what I like about it:

* It's a good place, nice people, great work/life balance.

* Bend, Oregon is a great place to live if you like the outdoors, and has a shot at being a startuppy place like Boulder if things continue to go well. In some ways it's kind of fun to be involved in the early stages of that, rather than come along when things are mostly settled - it means there's more room to do stuff!

Feel free to send me any questions/comments!
I'd have to disagree. It may seem like tech is driving the US economy when you're standing in Silicon Valley, but it's not even in the top 5.[1]

Energy, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and agriculture have seen the most growth lately.

Of course tech can play a role in all of those industries, but overall tech is not that big a part of the US economy.

You aren't the one deeming them worthy, the democrat and republican establishments are.

Or at least, Republican party members were given the choice between Donald Trump and "I'll work with martians" Ted Cruz.

Seriously – this is project management and design 101 stuff here. The points you make highlight the HUGE cost savings that could be accomplished by breaking it up into 3 different aircraft, at different price points, tailored to the different roles.

> DeepMind IS Google. Asserting that it isn't doesn't magically make them a separate legal entity.

in the context of this data, yes, there is significant distinction between the two.

> Arrogant insults are not a useful form of rhetoric.

sorry, i'm not trying to be arrogant.

> You may trust Google, but trust isn't transitive.

true.

> You're projecting your own situation on others. For someone with HIV (which is one of that data points being sent to Google), that medical fact may play a very defining role in their life.

i'd argue that letting yourself be defined by your HIV status is a poor metric to live ones life by, but you're right, that's not my call to make.

> It does. Why would you think that someone that is against Google gathering more data is fine with the government doing the same? Both of those groups need to be defended against.

playing the cynical card about governments vs corporations - a corp has no incentive in using my data in the same way a government has ala dragnet surveilence, to which there is a resounding response of apathy toward. of course the HN crowd care about these things, but we're a somewhat isolated bubble of people compared to the rest of society.. although that's another discussion.

> Then prove it;

of course, i cannot do that. and my feelings toward a group of people can't dictate how others should feel toward them - i know. but the team at deepmind are looking to do some amazing things. and this article from vice screams ignorance. maybe deepmind could be more transparent about their work. that's not my call though.

> Who cares what their interest is today.

it matters significantly - they can't keep the data after sept 2017, so if for some reason the direction of the group changes, there is only so much they can do with it. but it would set the field back decades if anyone at deepmind were to do anything so irresponsible as what you might be suggesting.

My best guess is that Gavin has been duped by a sleight of hand (like a magician would use) by Craig.

My best guess, based on what I've read so far, is this:

- Gavin supplied his own text for the message.

- Craig faked running "sha256sum" on this message on his own laptop. The real "sha256sum" program could have been overwritten with a fake program that always output the same "hash". This is the "magic trick": the "hash" is attacker-controlled, and doesn't actually correspond to Gavin's message. Rather, the hash corresponds to an old message on the block chain - see, e.g., https://gist.github.com/ryancdotorg/893815f426f181d838c1b44a...

- Then from there, presto. The signature validates (and can be validated on Gavin's clean laptop) - because it's a real Satoshi signature, from the public blockchain years ago. But what it validates against is a "fake" hash - that Gavin thinks corresponds to his own message, but actually doesn't.

Easy to see how that would be a very, very convincing demonstration, after some social engineering. But all sleight of hand.

This is (I believe) why Craig has all this blurb up on https://dankaminsky.com/2016/05/02/validating-satoshi-or-not... - it's to hide the trick, which is that he doesn't give us the file "Spartre". He supplies only a (presumably faked) screenshot of sha256sum against this file. Making you type in the hash by hand is misdirection, so you don't realise that you don't have the original file.

> The unit production cost (the cost of building an aircraft, not including amortized R&D) for the F-22A is about 50% higher than for the F-35A.

Allow me to point out the very practical reality that the figure you're quoting was the cost to build an F-22. We haven't built one since the last F-22 rolled out of Marietta in 2012, and all the tooling has been put away (and some of it has been lost). It would certainly be possible to resume F-22 production, but the cost of the first few new aircraft would be even higher than what you're quoting because we would have to teach ourselves how to build it again, and set up all the equipment and logistics necessary to do it. That won't come cheaply.

Hiring soon our 1st and 2nd engineers (I'm the technical co-founder). We're looking for a dataops/frontend engineer with strong preference for product oriented & full-stack capable/interested candidates.

Tech stack includes React.js, Relay/GraphQL, Elasticsearch, Redis, Node.js. Using event sourcing and soon adding Kafka + Kubernetes.

We're an early stage startup so plenty of room to own and design significant parts of the product. Work with cutting edge technology in an exploding market.

Roles:
* Frontend engineer (React.js, React Native, Chrome extension)
* Data engineer (Node.js (though flexible on backend language(s)), event sourcing).
* Data scientist (analyze "data exhaust" from companies to help with sales/marketing).

I doubt that there are analog-digital, digital-analog converters and an FFT module in there. I would have assumed that there's only some analog circuit. You don't even need spectral analysis. It just needs to invert the amplitude and delay the output for those 60 microseconds, right? This would also make the problems of spikes and Fourier transforms go away.
