ROOT | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | https://joinroot.com

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO or Progressive.

We started the company to make car insurance priced based on driving safety rather than personal details like education and occupation. We're a startup — we have 12 people and have been working on this for a little over a year.

We've built an iOS app that gathers data on how people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're well funded, and we're looking to bring on a couple more talented engineers. Tech stack involves Rails, iOS/Swift, and JS/React. Email me at dan@joinroot.com
This word used in regard to completing tasks relating to software is bad enough, this word as it's used much more commonly in the field of public policy and politics in general is where it becomes truly sinister.

In general, and you can call this condescending but I'm willing to go there and say that the word "just" and all it's related questions comments and statements are the best way to show you genuinely, for better or worse, have no idea what you're talking about and I can't think of any scenario improved by a layman's understanding of it.
Package control does not provide this feature. I talked to maintainers of package control and we decide not to implement this feature (although I could do it by myself) because I'm only the author who need it.

Actually, there are not much really complex plugins for editors; most of plugins it is 1-5 python files that require no dependecies.

I honestly believe Clinton is worst than Trump (I also believe Trump is a patsy put in by Clinton to lose the GOP--but it's backfiring) -- He's too dumb to be president, but she will not do any of the new things she's promised the Bernie camp.. My conscience says to vote Jill Stein, but if not her, then I'm voting Trump -- if I can't save the country by voting for someone who really gives a shit - then I'd rather destroy my old party the democrats and build a new party of progressives in it's stead -- the only way to change the left is to battle it out amongst ourselves first and kickout the establishment. I will not even vote down-ticket for establishment players like Pelosi or Harry Reid - if they backed CLinton before June they're definitely on my shit list.

It's not true in the US anyway.
Now you have two problems: the original one, and dealing with the person who doesn't understand why you've not solved it already and thinks you're dumb.
Congestion control is as important as ever. Your packets can traverse links of just a few Mbps then 1Gbps then back down to a few Mbps, all within your own house on the way from your computer to your ISP's network. Common consumer networking equipment will do extremely stupid things in the face of congestion, such as storing packets in a FIFO buffer more than one second long. Initial window sizes still need to be small because there will always be users at the fringes of a wireless network where speeds are low enough that a burst of a few dozen full-size packets is a major call-dropping problem.

The best solution is for AQM and ECN to be deployed widely, so that congestion can be identified and dealt with before it gets bad enough to require drastic rate decreases. QUIC currently cannot use ECN because those bits of the IP header typically aren't accessible from the APIs for UDP. Modern TCPs operating on networks that keep buffering delays low and signal congestion without dropping packets don't have trouble determining link bandwidth quickly.
Sourceress | San Francisco Bay Area, CA | Full-time | REMOTE (local is ok too)

- Are you empathetic and communicative?

- Do you care about improvement at both the individual and global scale?

Then you should at least say hi: email josh@sourceress.co
You have unstated assumptions embedded in your post.

You are not taking a vote away from Obama when you vote for Stein. It is far more likely that Obama is actually taking votes away from Stein, as Green party supporters vote strategically, because their 2nd choice is better than their 3rd or 4th choice.

Until such time as any US state implements a ranked-choice voting system, you have no way of knowing whether the candidate receiving the vote is actually someone's first choice, or a strategic vote for the second-to-last choice.

First-past-the-post voting essentially means that the 2 major parties are always stealing away almost all the votes that would have otherwise been cast for lesser parties. So a vote for Stein is actually "refusing to let Democrats steal your Green vote". You can't steal it away from the Democrats, because it wasn't theirs to begin with.

What about 3G/4G cellular via tethering a phone? That's all I use when I'm away from my home interent.

+ $764/month will buy a lot of data exceeding that allocated with a standard plan.

+ $764/month makes multiple accounts spread across different carriers practical to provide redundant connections.

+ Even if there's only one good carrier in your area, resellers mean one can have multiple binding contracts for data service from that single carrier without hitting that carrier's terms and conditions for their direct sale policies.

The problem that T1 is really meant to solve is providing a block of 24 dedicated voice channels for POTS [plain old telephone service]. Developed in 1962, it's not really a fat pipe by modern standards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-carrier

Indeed, that's why DSL can offer similar speed over a single twisted pair.

Good luck.

"Interesting fact: Uber China's Senior VP (Liu Zhen) and Didi's President (Liu Qing, or Jean Liu) are cousins."

(taken from an unrelated comment in this thread - see below)
Adam Smith makes the argument well in A Wealth of Nations. Essentially, the only reason to invest is that you expect to earn something above on top of the risk. Then add that up over everybody in the system. They cannot all get something extra, unless there is growth. That growth is spread over everybody as return on investment. So, if there is no growth, then investment stops earning that extra, so there no point in investment, so nobody hires anybody or builds new machines.

Importantly, it's growth in total value, not growth in number of things. Hence, it's okay that growth is infinite without gobbling up the universe - we can always be better. Stuff can always be sexier.

Using "Who's Hiring?" to chase referral bonuses? Is that allowed?!
Mostly because it's the gains from automation that goes to Wall Street and not Main Street. The idea that you or I could personally enjoy the benefits of automation beyond the trivial devices we buy (IoTs, Washers/Dryers, etc) frightens the capital owners because that means we too could be competition. We too could produce for our own needs and not their designs on our needs. Keeping us away from automation is as much important to the capital owners as them utilizing it to reduce labor inputs to grow their expected ROI. It's a strange situation I think Wall Street has found itself in. It needs automation but equally fears the outcome of it (where people just take automation away from them and care for themselves).
I wonder if those estimates attempt to account for supply and demand...
I agree completely. Going a step further, as OP has and shutting down potential helpful new perspectives and solutions by implementing a "jar" is reprehensible. When I've been mired in a complex problem for hours and I'm not any closer to a solution than when I started out, helpful "can you just" perspectives is often the key to unlocking a new line of thought that allows me to come up with the solution. Implementing a jar is like having someone pay you to ignore their often helpful perspectives. It's reprehensible.

I guess another way to put this is... I'm more interested in finding the solution than I am in making sure that everyone around me thinks that my domain is special and complex and that they don't share it with me.

Staples SparX - San Mateo, CA - Full Time

Looking for:

* Software Engineers
* Dev Ops
* Data Scientists

SparX is a small engineering team focused on applying online machine learning and predictive modeling to eCommerce (impacting a 24 billion dollar business). Our stack is 100% Clojure, service oriented, targeting 50 million users with 1ms SLAs. We apply engineering and data science to tough problems such as dynamic pricing, shipping estimations, personalized emails, and multi-variate testing. We are always looking for talent in data science, engineering and devops. Bonus points if you can bridge 2 of these together. We love people with strong fundamentals who can dive deep.

We're a small team, so you will have an opportunity for a high-impact role, targeting over 50 million users. But our best perk is our colleagues: a diverse and extremely talented team of seasoned engineers and data scientists. We are located in San Mateo, walking distance from the Cal-Train station. Come visit or apply online at http://staples-sparx.com.
You have guys working for weeks/months on a project, getting expert knowledge, analysing new requirement continuously.

The number of times I have had, over the course of months, to explain again and again why you can't "just" remove feature X from project Y to make it doable in less than D days it is currently estimated to. One day, I would commit to do it because at that moment I didn't remember that specific bit while being quizzed in an unrelated meeting that veered into offtopic armchair solution designing by bored "solution architects" (i.e. middle manager who last looked at code a decade ago)
How Open Source App 'Money Manager Ex' Integrates All Cloud Storage Providers
I'm honestly a bit fuzzy on exactly how the ATRF will relate to the ITRF from a user's point of view, in particular whether it'll be published as ephemerides or a correction applied to ITRF. (Jargon - ATRF: the to-be-defined Australian Terrestrial Reference Frame, ITRF: the International Terrestrial Reference Frame, to which WGS84 is aligned at 10cm level.)

Regardless though, people using high accuracy GNSS equipment are pretty much resigned to needing sideband information to actually get an accurate result. This is to account for various physical effects which can't be easily or entirely removed, such as ionospheric phase delays. It can be from a base station at a known location ("differential GPS" or "RTK"), or from a separate commercially available satellite broadcast eg, Fugro G4 or Trimble centerpoint RTX. The latter two actually compute satellite orbit and clock corrections to the broadcast ephemerides, by processing real time streams from a worldwide base station network in real time!

The ephemerides aren't something you can download every so often, for high accuracy you need something like a few hundred kB a day for the whole constellation, IIRC.
Readmore - http://www.readmo.re - Amsterdam, The Netherlands - ONSITE

I'm the founder of Readmore in Amsterdam and we're currently looking for an on-site developer. We're a small company, so you'd need to be comfortable working with a variety of technologies. We're currently growing and refreshing our systems, so there would be a good deal of both responsibility and freedom in the position. If you'd like more information please don't hesitate to get in touch.

In case you're wondering, our back-end systems use Ruby+Rails, Go, and some PHP. On the front-end we do HTML/CSS/JS on the web, and we have native applications for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks!
Mick
Then how do you ever stop someone over-engineering, or building things you aren't gonna need? "Can you just..." is exactly the right question to ask to pull someone back from that trap.

Can you just solve the problem you know about and worry about the edge cases you suspect you'll run into later? How do you know that solving for that problem is important? Don't try to build a complete system in one go, build something that just solves part of the problem.

This is more than a bit unconvincing.

I have all the basketball forwards I need, but Channing Frye isn't living on food stamps. He's not the one people come to see, but he helps keep a competitive organization running so that there's a platform for LeBron (who people do come to see). Your personal interest in a mid-range competitor doesn't determine their value, because they're helping to enable the higher-profit performers.

If the Olympic competition isn't a value generator, then the coaches and functionaries enabling the athletes are even less valuable than the athletes themselves. God knows the spectacle and ceremony part of the Olympics isn't a money-maker, that's why cities aggressively resist having it come to town.

The assumption that any of this is a function of market forces is funny to me. Sponsorships are probably the only free-market aspect of the whole program (or they would be if they weren't exclusive and determined above the athlete level) - the IOC operates as a 'charity' drawing money from national governments. As a result they're completely un-accountable to market forces, and athletes can't make any effort to collect their value. The highest-profile competition in the world is funded by donations, and they can't escape it.

Jack Warner and his ilk at FIFA weren't making a fortune because they were so efficient and talented, they were making money because principal-agent problems and regulatory capture are real. If the people raising player funding are also deciding how to spend it, they're likely to declare themselves invaluable and keep it all at the top.
1. Does the provider keep their promises?

Digital Ocean promised IPv6 support and the ability to run custom kernels several years before they provided this support.

2. Is the networking secure?

The "Private IP" addresses in Digital Ocean are accessible to anyone in the same zone.

3. Will they cover your ass?
