Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco SF | Experienced Full-stack Developers, DevOps Engineers, and Software Engineers| On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k + equity

We're a small team (18 people!) of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix HealthCare.gov in the winter of 2013. Since then, we've been working with the government to improve the services HealthCare.gov provides. Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to fix, and it’s surprising how much can be fixed by a small group of resourceful people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.
We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people. We believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

In the face of injustice, some accept it as the way the world works. Others fight to end injustice. Economic segregation laws are abhorrent, and I am fighting to end them in Austin. I hope others fight to end them everywhere.

Two things killed Mac gaming in my mind: the almost extinction of Apple itself in the mid-to-late 90s, as well as the rise of 3D accelerated games on PC in the late 90s. Macintosh couldn't keep up in both price or performance.

I grew up on Mac gaming, being a cult-of-Mac evangelist, and most of the greats were cross-ported from PC (Blizzard, Maxis, id Software), or it had many gems of its own (Marathon, Bungie, Ambrosia). Once Half-Life came out however in 1998, I had to beg my parents for a gaming-capable PC. There just was no competition at that point.
Multi year paid subscriber of Cloak. I've used this product on my macbook for years and it is hands down my favorite app on my laptop. I didn't realize how great it was until I tried to set my non-technical sister up with a VPN on her Windows laptop.

Cloak is not like that. Not anything like that. It is beautiful, simple, no config necessary, and has great features.

My biggest regret about choosing Android is that i couldn't use Cloak on my phone. Thrilled that Dave is looking to fix that, and I'm excited for you to come on and help the Android community enjoy the glory of Cloak.
The average 12 factor app doesn't really need this, but as you mentioned, sometimes you delegate to Postgres, or S3, and today those are available as hosted products via Amazon, Google, Heroku, etc.

However, when your running in your own datacenter, you don't have the luxury of using Amazon's hosted products, so Torus exists to help provide some building blocks to build your own S3, or potentially even RDS.
Seriously. I worried about the potential interaction between my prescribed adderall and alcohol for a long while, and usually deferred to not taking them anywhere near at the same time, but I found no evidence to suggest that the two had any particular interaction.
That's not true, I have ADHD and I still feel stimulated when I take my medicine just like anyone else would. The difference is that it also gives me symptom relief as well.

Over time you will develop more of a tolerance to these stimulating effects, at least to a degree, but the therapeutic benefits will continue for as long as you take them.
This is why I really don't think there will be another start up hub in the US other than Silicon Valley, and to a lesser extent, Boston. Top schools attract and breed top talent that start companies, which create new capital, and invest that back into the community.

Also: AMD wasn't started by anyone at Intel, it was founded less than a year after Intel by 8 employees of Fairchild.

> HRT with estrogen and progesterone has been long considered to have anti-aging effects; results of larger studies though, particularly of the Women’s Health Initiative, have shown that an anti-aging effect is not necessarily to be expected. On the contrary, HRT has been accused to have a higher cardiovascular risk and increase of the risk of breast cancer.

The Women's Health Initiative studied replacing women's declining hormone levels with horse estrogens (Premarin, derived from PREgnant MARe's urINe) and Provera, the birth-control drug that is used to make women infertile (as the much-loved [1] drug, depot-Provera).

Somebody tricked the medical scientists into thinking that Progestins are analogues of Progesterone, except in the case of in vitro fertilization, where they have to use Progesterone USP.

Well, hell, they show you that dossier right on google.com/account: recent logins (with IP address, browser UA fingerprint, etc.), paired devices, search history, etc. They even offer to export it for you (Google Takeout is one of those "makes handing out information in response to subpoenas dead-simple" codebases; I wouldn't be surprised if they built it for law enforcement, and then just thought of it as a free win to expose it to the user in question as well.)

They don't include the really interesting stuff, like what Adwords CPM campaigns you've been counted as an impression or conversion for—but that's more for technical reasons than honesty ones (ads run on massive realtime OLTP pipelines that just increment counters in memory to record you; the system just doesn't have time to record a whole {campaign ID, your ID} tuple.)

But all that being said, the stated idea above—showing the account-privacy offer to anyone Googling the name of X on a computer X has logged into, even if they are not presently logged into it—would be a privacy leak. (And don't get me wrong, Google cooperates with authoritarian top-down privacy violation, but that doesn't mean they don't do everything they can to prevent peer privacy violation.)

Someone could go up to a computer you've used, type your name, and thereby discover what your email address is. Imagine if there was a guaranteed way to "sniff" someone's contact information off a public computer they just used, where even clearing the browser's data completely wouldn't help—that's a big target for both stalkers and social engineers.
> I suspect I also get hositility from pointing out a lot of people think their medication is helping them but they really don't know about long term effects, but don't want to hear that they might be, you know, bad.

Except it appears as though it's actually pretty good. Long-term treatment with amphetamines appears to decrease abnormalities in brain structure and function in people with ADHD and improves function in several other parts of the brain.

Amazon New Product Demand Forecasting | Seattle | Full-Time | On-Site ($130-$250+ depending on experience)

Amazon's New Product Demand Forecasting team is responsible for one of the most challenging problems in supply chain optimization: predicting sales for products that have no sales history. This is a uniquely creative space in Forecasting requiring our machine learning models to capture both the nuances of the global consumer marketplace as well as customer behavior on Amazon. Our team works closely with research scientists to invent new ways to make use of novel data, solve hard engineering problems around scaling and performance in predicting for tens of millions of products, and iterates quickly in order to stay on the cutting edge.

We're looking for an experienced, data-science-leaning software developer that is comfortable with big data and can:

* Design systems that provide a stable base for innovation in a rapidly changing business

* Improve Forecasting algorithms through data-driven analysis and experimentation in our Scala/Spark environment

* Optimize for scalability and performance of both distributed computations and near-metal C++ code

* Communicate their ideas clearly with all members of a diverse team

If this sounds interesting, I'd love to chat or buy you coffee. Email me (Stefan) at smai@ (amazon.com) with your resume and a brief introduction.
(Interview process is 1 phone screen and onsite interview with whiteboard coding and behavioral questions about your experience.)

Yet sadly these drugs are still heavily regulated. You need to renew your prescription every month, which is expensive. Doctors look at you skeptically. In some countries they don't prescribe them at all, or only prescribe less effective versions to prevent abuse.

And then there are articles like this that appear every so often, telling us that we aren't really sick. Or that people who take these drugs are abusing them like they are just trying to get high or whatever.

[I'm not snarking, by the way. Just playing with it. It's perfectly okay to have a tool optimized for, say, business correspondence.]
One obvious gotcha with this technique is that a typical attacker will have full access to the assembly code of the target under attack. Therefore, checks against a constant will not be very useful. Fortunately, some microcontrollers are equipped with a hardware random number generator. You can initialize the value of __stack_chk_guard with a function that has __attribute__((constructor)) and does not itself use memory in a way that would cause GCC to issue the stack protector. That way the canary value will be initialized during the startup code before entering main().
If by Americanized, you include become Native English speakers, then I'd have to disagree with that 0 number. There are huge swathes of NYC neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens where second generation immigrants would be mistaken for first generation in most of the rest of the country.

I'm not saying this is good or bad, just that we're not so superior to Europeans with regards to integration as we think we are. I think we tend to care less. Of all the xenophobic stuff some of our politicians say, I don't notice the word integration come up a lot.

People who are already energetic may not notice increased energy at therapeutic doses, though I certainly noticed. I don't think anybody feels relaxed, but it does quiet the hyperactive impulses and behaviors, which can easily be mistaken for being relaxed.

Good read! DW has been the go-to resource whenever I had to decide on a new OS install. The website/favicon/logo et al. have become pretty dated though. It's still on HTML4. What's a general opinion on updating the site just a little bit?
The appraisal right makes sense for smaller companies, even in the absence of fraud. There, you can have a majority shareholder come in and force a minority to sell based on a lowball valuation. There are no competing PE offers or public exchange prices to use as a reference in that scenario, so the appraisal right at least ensures an independent look at the purported valuation.

Pretty much all of them, including the database setup.
I'm not trying to argue your points, but there was a lot of "serious gaming" in the 80s and 90s, too. I highly recommend Infocom's Trinity, Lurking Horror, most SSI titles, etc. The list is vast.
I remember playing Bolo in 92'ish. It was a pretty mind opening experience for me at the time.

4*12 = 48 hours a week and 2 people a day, 4 per week. Long hours is mostly a staffing issue. 24/7/365 is very hard when you don't have a lot of people.

Note, staggered hand-offs also work best. You really don't want everyone to leave at the same time.
If someone takes the same low dose I do but doesn't actually have ADHD, how could they be considered "cracked out?" simply because they are faking a diagnosis?

"Cracked out" or not isn't quite the question.

Amphetamines in low doses have measurable benefits in terms of increased ability to concentrate and work longer hours and definite drawbacks in terms of longer term health effects and risks of actual serious addiction.

When the job market creates such pressures that a significant portion of workers are working 12 hours days, not receiving particularly higher compensation, and using amphetamines to manage the situation, it seems that employers are repeating the benefits while the workers only get the drawbacks.
I think that industry is still too young. We don't yet know if it'll take off or just be a fad.
The comments in this thread seem to suggest a reasonable subset of people here partake. Is there any reason you feel the need to?

I went to a pretty rough college where I had standard 24 hour straight homework sessions once or twice a week. And I used caffeine maybe once a week at most. I work at a startup where the work culture isn't as competitive as what I feel is the norm, but even listening to friends at there does not seem to be such a ridiculous need for overclocking yourself.

I just seem to have never done work that was hard enough to push me to require drugs, and it's not because I haven't done hard work. Most work seems to be either you just put in the 40 hours it takes to solve it or it hasn't been solved.

I upvoted you, but there's still some possibility of perverse incentives. Let's say I am a stockholder, and I think the sale is a good one - these buyers are suckers! But I also recognize that most of the other shareholders feel the same. So, to hedge my bet, I vote "no" so that if it turns out the buyers were not suckers, I can sue.

My scenario is that I vote "no" even though I think selling is the right decision. I feel I can do this because I recognize my vote will likely not prevent the outcome I want, and it insulates me against the risk that I, and others, are wrong.
Mind if I ask why you stopped using it? And do you plan to start again?
That seems like it sets up a perverse incentive structure, where shareholders should always vote against deals as long as the downside from the chance that their vote causes the deal not to go through is smaller than the upside from the amount they'd expect to gain from the lawsuit.
It shouldn't need to be /too/ huge with smart redirected walking algorithms. But still probably too big for the average person to have available to themselves privately.

This is where I feel most people in the VR space agree that "VR arcades" will become a lucrative industry.

No, there is no whatsoever performance hit because the identifiers are in separate columns in the same table, and they can be indexed normally.
There will be a performance hit if for some future requirement all the ids column are exhausted, they start using the generic key with complex serialized objects AND they want the generic key to be searchable.
At that point they can simply add another id column if it is really necessary.

They disclosed it at the end of the deck, but that's some great pub for Ring. If they wanted to use an example that resonated with more of the audience, Nest would have been a better choice.

5+ years of experience, worked remotely (full-time) at a NY based startup for the past 10 months as a back-end dev so remote is definitely a strong option, would be interested to get into data engineering.
If you have any latency issues please open a support ticket so that our network engineering team can take a look at it. There maybe some additional peering points that we need to add.

Thanks!
video.js with the HLS plugin is fine if you don't need dash (there may be flash) but obviously that's very bare bones. It seems like there's things like ad support among other features you get with the suggested player.
They (not really sure if associated with UNU) explain the difference here. http://unanimous.ai/crowds-vs-swarms-which-is-smarter/

With that said I don't see how they let you network.
As a user I don't care what kind of HTML it has. It conveys the information it needs to. So my general opinion is he should update the site if needed to convey the information. Updating it just because it is "dated" is silly.
"In the first full year of operation in 2014, however, 76 jobs were created statewide.

At a cost of more than $40 million for advertising and marketing..."

~$500,000 to create a single job. It would be cheaper to straight up pay someone $50,000 a year to sit and do nothing and you'd have created 800 jobs instead.
On the topic of safe languages on embedded systems, I'm very excited for the future of Rust on micros. Having just recently spent probably in excess of 100 hours on an embedded systems project at university, I'm starting to get a bit annoyed with using embedded C.

I'm sure good software engineering practices would eliminate a lot of my problems, but being the only computer scientist in a group of electrical engineer has made my life difficult. The entire project is just a massive mess of cascading makefiles and #defines, and is amazingly poorly documented.

A lot of the code was supplied by our lecturer, and has no documentation whatsoever, and he's gone and made this arcane cascading set of makefiles that goes about 4 levels deep.
It's "recommended" that you only say "positive" things.
Awesome! =]

We timed it just for you ;)
the check is also quite weak in that its only really protecting a single point. Its quite easy to stride "over" the protected area rather than going "through" it.

TBH, it will only ever protect against accidental errors, not malicious intent.
Passed this along to our customer support team, thanks!
The mention of Mesos may imply that each instance would be a separate container.
lowrisc.org? This stuff takes time. Also there are shipping products using RISC-V, but they aren't user accessible (e.g., cameras).
The difference is that your brain fills in the gaps when there are very minor discrepancies between sensory systems.
That's why presence exists with current VR platforms.
In theory this is a great idea, but not a single implementation I've seen fits my needs.

I'm not going to use a writing tool that requires me to change my entire workflow. This (and every other tool I've seen that does something similar[1]) requires me to use their editor. If I want to do something like edit a comment on HN, it requires copy/paste to do that.

More crippling than that, these editors don't support anything besides the writing simplification features. HTML breaks it, markdown breaks it, and it can't do WYSIWYG (Hemingway does this last, but not well).

I don't mean to criticize the tools too harshly: linguistic processing of any kind is hard and they do a good job at that. I can certainly see how this would be useful for someone who writes more seriously than I do and can take the time to write first and mark up or format in a different editor later. And the effort to make it something I would use is large. I would probably want a browser plugin that watched my text areas and handled markdown, and a vim plugin. :)

But for me, not having integration with my workflow makes it too complicated to use and the value it provides isn't large enough for me to change my workflow.
