AdRoll - San Francisco

If you like languages such as Python, JS, C, D, Lua, Erlang, AWS, and/or petabytes of data, this is your dream job.

AdRoll is one of the fastest growing adtech companies, already producing $100M+ in revenue with a small engineering team.

To give an idea how we work, recently we launched a new product on top of a novel data processing pipeline on AWS using Docker, read more about it here:

http://tech.adroll.com/blog/data/2015/09/22/data-pipelines-d...

and more about our approach to data science, see here

I'm happy to tell you more by email (ville@adroll.com) or over coffee in SF.
my first paid coding work was at a wind energy company as an intern. I did a lot of manual input into a piece of software for 9/10s of my internship. The other 1/10th of my internship was writing a web-app that acted as a counter for each type of legal document category. They had created their own documentation system with project-Category-count schema. Each of the employee within the compliance group had to figure out the current doc-count for any new document's category, and there was no real gating mechanism before the document entered the hard-copy vault. This led to numerous duplicate items (ala, two documents labelled HR-1042-4).

My simple web app, which took virtually no mental effort to create other than learning the source code system and some vanilla Web App / SQL, was treated as a god-send to those employees. It was still being used 6 years later, though I've lost track relatively recently. Always interesting to hear interesting stories like that out there.

My brother's workplace (from my distant vantage point, keep in mind) could have saved millions upon millions of dollars had it had a dedicated technical engineer working on crafting automated reports that connected their massive databases of data to its operational scientists instead of spending 2-4 hours on building the report themselves during the worst time-crunches.

I don't think its a problem for someone actively breaking the law to be held indefinitely for contempt until they stop breaking the law.

I thought being compelled to reveal a passphrase was no longer required.

If you're having to burn 3000 calories a day, you're eating too much. That energy has to come from somewhere. Have you tried calorie tracking?

More or less. Hence why high performance data structures are invariably unsafe to implement in every language if they can be implemented at all. Rust lets you implement them, and for almost all of them you can even expose a safe high-performance interface to them.

The only major exceptions I know for interfaces are

* intrusive data structures that just blindly point to random data lying on the stack or stored in other types (a construct like C++ move constructors is necessary to safely manipulate these).

* priority queues with high-performance decrease-key (you effectively need to hand clients a pointer to every node, that they can always pass back to you to deref and update the structure from -- this is unsound if that node has been popped and you aren't using a GC scheme).
Allow me to suggest that such comparisons are tacky in the extreme, and could only be made by someone who has not seen the toll that drug addiction takes on addicts and their families and friends. Meditate on that.

The politics are a bit more complicated. The DoD would be willing to export to, eg, the UK & Canada, but any exports at all would trigger calls by lobbying organizations to send it to "allies" like Israel & Saudi Arabia, which then immediately finds its way to China / Pakistan / etc.
One more author rant before the thread vanishes, here are a couple points from the book.

1. The Soviet internet is a sideways allegory for the present. The Soviet Union, once we work through its parade of horribles, helps separate us from and then rethink our current network values. General secretaries, whether state or corporate, have long been trying to privatize our information.

2. The reasons the Soviets did not develop a network are not the reasons we often like to think: it's not because networks are anathema to censorship and control structures (think cybersecurity and dictatorships today), it's not because of technological backwardness (que Soviet military networks since the mid 1950s), it's not exactly because their genuinely screwed up command economy was either too rigid or hierarchical (que the rest of the book).

3. The Soviet story is a tragedy of big science and state support gone wrong, as well as a cautionary tale for how we go about building the network future in those terms.

While it would not be cost-free against law enforcement (as they could charge with contempt/destruction of evidence and so on) I hope as this sort of thing happens more often it pushes Apple to respond with a native coercion code system rather then requiring a jailbreak. Security has been improving at a nice clip in the last 5 years after significant stagnation, and bringing coercion codes to the general public seems like the next straight forward, logical improvement. Apple seems to already have the basic system level infrastructure in place since they store and register each of the five fingerprints separately and fire off appropriate different system events, which is why a jailbroken device can have an imperfect but reasonably effective one. Apple though could make it more user friendly, and have it be not just for Touch ID but also using a PIN.

While law enforcement gets the most press, this is and growing threat from non-state actors as well as mobile devices become ever larger gateways to the public's private lives and finances. Apple would do everyone a service by blazing the trail here and sooner (iOS 10) rather then later.
They don't have the kind of assembly commonality that the program aimed for initially, but I think it's a stretch to call the three variants "very different" aircraft. There's a pretty high amount of systems similarity. And pilots don't have to go through completely separate training programs for the three variants, just separate qualifications for things like STOVL or CV operations. If you can aviate in an F-35A, you can aviate in the other two variants.

Not sure why you single out the USMC for developing the helmet mounted display, because the HMD is common to all variants and is already a working system.
They may be turning it around, but they just halved their valuation in January.[1]

Well, I would say all those things have required technology of some sort or another since they all started. So saying they require technology is nothing new. Now saying they all require software technology of a specific sort from silicon valley is completely different. For example, if a bubble did exist and it burst so that all those software technologies from silicon valley disappeared, would those sectors of the economy suddenly disappear as well? I think not. You are elevating software technology to all technology.
> The unique thing about airports is their access to airplanes and their capacity to be used as weapons.

That problem was solved on 9/11 the instant the public realized the possibility. Before people wouldn't fight back because they would rather be ransomed than killed. Now that everyone knows their choices are fight or die, every person on the plane would fight to the death to prevent a terrorist from taking control over it, which solves the problem more effectively than anything the TSA could ever hope to do.

It actually makes everything the TSA does entirely counterproductive, because it's no longer possible to hijack a plane using a knife, but allowing all the other passengers to have knives would make it easier for them to fight back. The entire TSA is a farce that should be disbanded and replaced with nothing.

Contempt in this case would be impossible after a couple days, when the iPhone will refuse to accept the fingerprint and instead require the passphrase. She is no longer capable of fulfilling the court's demand (use your fingerprint to unlock the phone) at that point.
> Would this not short circuit any form of privacy?

As far as I can tell, Wright wants to extend the blockchain considerably, adding opcodes to get Turing-complete functionality. Among other things, he's hinted at using ring signatures for tracking things, which would give one both secure control and anonymity. (I think Monero and its descendants may have stolen that thunder, though.)
Those are 27 power cycles spread across all the different flights described in that section of the document, not 27 power cycles for one single flight.

Google patents smart lenses you inject into your eyes
Widevine DRM is integrated into virtually all Android phones. If you're building your own ROM, you could remove the widevine.bXX files from the ROM image itself - I've never tested it, but it could probably soft-fail. There's no other way to remove it.

Anyway, this specific issue has already been fixed (but there are probably more bugs lurking either there on in other trustlets).
Was it a summer internship specifically? And did you come from out of town, say 100+ miles away? Perhaps it is really based on short-term relocation requirements and I haven't seen that because I haven't had to relocate for an internship.

I have passed through TSA on four different flights (across two trips) with my multitool in my backpack. This was, of course, completely accidental on my part.

These events caused me to put together a pre-TSA personal checklist, since I can't count on getting lucky again, and I really like that multitool. (:
From 6th paragraph:

> The first global civilian computer networks developed among cooperative capitalists, not among competitive socialists. The capitalists behaved like socialists while the socialists behaved like capitalists.

Great contrast! What is the deeper lesson here?
Yes, I was talking about that.
But if you want an answer, many of the first cars were electric, if they went with the electric engine instead things wouldn't be exactly the same, but would have allowed the US to increase to 300+ million no problem.

5th amendment.
Because, for all their software and development delays, they significantly outperform 4.5th gen offerings and (the A, at least, which is the majority of what people are buying) don't cost nearly as much (~85-95 million for an F-35A flyaway vs. 110-120+ million for a Eurofighter or Rafale).
Might the reason they were fooled so easily be, that they were flattered, that Satoshi would reveal himself to them, but not the community directly?
These philosophers are great because we have built on their thoughts and ideas. Whatever exists now exists because these philosophers' works have been studied.

> a more equal society

For a certain definition of equal based on superficial ways of viewing the world.
Might want to remove the copy/paste at the top of your posting.
The OP states their opinion a couple of times, so surely that doesn't address the issue of the law as it should be. isn't a very good reply to what they said.

That was my reasoning.
Satoshi can also log into bitcointalk.org where the real Satoshi communicated with the public for quite some time during and after the release of the bitcoin client. Can Wright log into it and post or is he gonna claim he forgot his password? Oh wait, a password can be reset. Oh no, he forgot his password to the email he registered on BitcoinTalk.org.. Damn... I guess we're SOL :).
The US has a very strong puritan streak that says suffering is generally the result of personal moral failure, good for people, and it's wrong to make it ‘too easy’ to alleviate.
I live (now) in a country with a GDP per capita an order of magnitude less than the US.

Having just come come back from the US. I can say without doubt.

There is much less poverty here.
The average citizens quality of life here is an order of magnitude better than the us.

Funnily enough. Money isn't everything. Stuff like personal freedoms. Social interaction. Inequity are much more important IMHO.

Thank you for your response!

> It's probably in the tone of your comment, which (though it isn't the case) implies that there's something wrong with the laws.

Rather than endorsing or decrying the law, I meant only to suggest that a simple, factual description of the state of the law, while non-controversial, also doesn't address the question of whether the law is appropriate. I am not at all sure that it is; but I am also a naïf in these matters, which is why I appreciate the many users who responded to my request for clarification.

> I'd edit and rephrase in your position, especially since your criticism isn't of the law but is rather of the education of users. To your point: if users of devices could be educated in-device about the security of different identification and authentication schemes, the user could take better ownership of the security of said user's device.

Indeed, I think that the point you make (and generously attribute to me) is a good one orthogonal to any questions of the law; whether the law is good or bad in any particular sense, it is as it is, and will be so enforced, and users should be educated as far as possible about this when choosing whether and how to secure their devices.
