Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Recursion is a startup with less than 20 people, but we generate rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. ​We have literally millions of images from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. Our biggest challenge and biggest opportunity is to extract the most information we can from this massive amount of data.

Fact is, the original was very racist.

Just cleverly(obviously?) hidden.

Why would a country blow up it's own stuff when it's obvious there are better ways. (Undertone they are culturally/genetically stupid)

I find this worse, I thought the reply was kinda tempered.
I don't disagree, however OpenBSD's opinion is "We don't care if you use it. We write it for us and it works for us." (paraphrasing).
Quite possibly with a termination clause. Insurance typically covers the cost of the satellite, not the cost of delaying time to revenue by what could end up being several months or years.

Good q. In our experience a dev tool is right for a team if the tool fits the team's workflow. If you want to customize the heck out of what you do, use JIRA. If you're hardcore Scrum, use Pivotal. etc

Codetree's biggest differentiator from the large market is that it has a two-way sync with GitHub. But there are lots of companies who do that. So if you're looking for a tool that sits on GH then we may get a look. To differentiate from the rest of the GH tools we have some feature-level differentiators, the biggest being that we have a table view of your issues. From an information density perspective there's no beating a table.

Feature-level differentiators scare us though - we definitely need to work harder to make Codetree a product that's substantially different from the everything else that's out there.
I certainly would not attribute it to oversight or misinterpretation of arcane laws. Obviously they knew what they were doing.

And, I'll leave aside moral considerations because they are not strictly relevant to the point of whether the EU's ruling is correct.

My point was that I don't see that either side of the legal argument is blindingly compelling. Certainly not without hearing a lot more argument and research from both sides.

It comes down to a disagreement over whether Apple's use of a particular loophole in Irish law constitutes Ireland giving Apple a special deal that is unavailable to other companies.

Apple/Ireland argue that the loophole existed in law and was available to anybody.

EU argues that even though the loophole may technically have existed in Irish law, it still constitutes a special deal with Apple because (I think) it takes a lot of money to hire the tax experts necessary to exploit it.

What is the knockdown blow that makes either one of these either totally compelling or totally uncompelling?

I don't see why people are so certain on either side of this.
When to Avoid JSONB in a PostgreSQL Schema
Yes, there's been many produced over time. Here's two that are in prototype form, one in LLVM, that could use extra attention from OSS community:

https://www.cis.upenn.edu/acg/softbound/

https://github.com/santoshn/softboundcets-3.6.1

http://safecode.cs.illinois.edu/

https://github.com/jtcriswell/safecode-llvm37

When overhead is too high, there's also tools like CPI to at least stop code injections:

http://dslab.epfl.ch/proj/cpi/

There were also safer variants of C to make rewrites for safety easier:

https://www.cs.uic.edu/pub/Main/PhDQualifyingExam/Sample4.pd...

http://www.eg.bucknell.edu/~lwittie/research/Clay.pdf

Note: Clay was used in device drivers and garbage collectors in partnership with Microsoft Research. Some Cyclone techniques were adopted in Rust.

So, the tooling has been around in different forms for a long time. OpenBSD presentation even mentioned a few. They avoid safer languages and these tools on purpose in favor of C, a review process aiming to find all vulnerabilities before hackers, and their after-the-attack mitigations for when they don't. Improving something like Softbound with checks disabled on known-good modules for performance gain would be so much better in terms of time invested and benefits gained. Plus, even average app developers could make memory safe code with same tool.

Not going to happen, though. It's not how mainstream "security" works. They default on using worst tools for the job for what seems to be political/social reasons more than anything. CompSci and private sector innovations long knocked out the technical ones. There's at least niche projects like Redox, GenodeOS, and Muen applying different aspects of best, known methods.

I have no problem with it, because buying these bonds is completely voluntary (and indeed, anyone foolish enough to buy a non-transferrable corporate bond deserves what's coming to them).

The reason--at least, my reason--for ripping on "bankers" is because our entire system of money is founded on bonds and thus, debt servitude. No one asked me if I wanted every single dollar to be created in parallel with a debt instrument, and no one asked me if I wanted to have my income taken away to service that debt.

It all comes down to autonomy. People have a choice to purchase Solar City bonds, but our banking system is forcibly imposed upon people by an unelected, private entity.
This was my first thought but then again I don't know how expensive the one was and if they built one and it launched successfully, what would they do with the second one? Seems like a damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don't scenarios.

I have been working on a side project for over a year now in UE4, and my suggestion is this:

1. Just dive in, it is definitely one of those applications where you dont learn many things other than by doing them.

2. Read the documentation, forums, and answers section. You can see what other people struggle with and try to avoid it.

3. Video tutorials. Sometimes they suck, but sometimes they show you that one blueprint thing, etc, and it makes a big difference.

4. Marketplace and starter content. I love the starter content and the marketplace because I dissect them to see how they did it so I can do it my way.

5. Finally, I highly suggest you review and read all you can about gamedev pipelines. If you dont understand your workflow you are going to have a mess thats hard to manage. Ive forked my project 5 times before finally starting over from scratch and it was a good feeling to strip the project back to bare essentials.

It all depends on what you want to do as well. Im interested in VR MMO backend infrastructure and netcode (prediction, etc) so what Im looking at might be different than you are.

Just my few cents. Now if only I could get my hands on a Vive...

I don't remember which one, but one of the plethora of "teach yourself to code!" guides floating around the web has all of their code snippets as images, so every time you used one of their example programs, you had to type it in by hand. It was horribly annoying (so I stopped,) but it was a deliberate choice to try and force understanding.

"A dangerously close analog to the "nothing to hide"[0] argument."

No, it really isn't. The idea that a company that is complying would walk away because those that aren't are gone after is foolish. It's like saying a freelancer shouldn't pursue people who stiff them on payment, because other potential clients might hear about it, and choose not to hire them.

That's not true. You just use a compiler transformation. See this:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12407156

Difference between memory safety and full, formal verification of correctness. You're describing the latter. Definitely check out Myreen et al's CakeML work, COGENT at NICTA, and AutoCorres/Simpl used in seL4. They might have stuff to speed up your own tool development. I wish you great luck on your project. :)
This would be a lot more interesting if you could "buy" pretend "shares" in each possible note and then get pretend "rewards" if your choices turned out to be correct.

There is no catch 22. You simply have to figure out what the goals actually are. Linus' goal is to have a vibrant community that has access to the changes he approves in the kernel. The FSF's goal is to eradicate non-free software.

Linus doesn't care about the odd scofflaw because they don't interfere with his goal. The FSF on the other hand cannot abide scofflaws because their only goal is to eliminate them.
OK, we've updated the title.
The bottom line for me was time and focus. If I had more hours in the day, I would have kept Codetree and grown it. My other business Drip was experiencing crazy growth and Codetree had always been a side business, taking the back seat to the needs of Drip. At the time of sale, I had at least 50 different feature ideas/growth opportunities written down but very little time to implement them. Rather than watch the product slowly fade away, the next best outcome for me was to see someone else realize that potential.
Final (YC W15) - Oakland, CA - Full Time, On Site | Final is building the next generation of credit cards and is looking to hire for a few key roles:

>> VP of Engineering (https://getfinal.com/jobs/vp-eng)

>> Front End (https://getfinal.com/jobs/frontend/)

>> Product Manager (https://getfinal.com/jobs/product/)

>> Project Manager (https://getfinal.com/jobs/project/)

Final is a credit card that gives consumers total control over their merchant relationships and transparency in their spending. Rather than a single card number, Final generates multiple card numbers the consumer can restrict, and manages them automatically.

It works everywhere you buy; online, and offline, and implements with digital wallets like Google Wallet and ApplePay with zero updates to the payment infrastructure. With Final, you’ll never lose access to your spending ability from a breach, fraud, cancelled or stolen card ever again.

Yeah that seems to go a little too far. There are valid reasons for wanting to copy-paste code, even if it should be typed out most of the time.
Dropbox disabling the ability to render html from public files
Just received an email from Dropbox saying they are disabling this feature on 9/1/2017. This allowed you to use Dropbox as a low-cost, high performance web host for static html content, which has been very useful to me in the past. Seems like a big loss in functionality for no good reason.
It runs on any server that has PHP and MySql. Even your most basic shared server will work.

It's delivered as a zip.

And the source is technically 'open' meaning you can modify the source code when you purchase it, but it's not free, and access to the source requires buying a license, and even then you're limited to the terms of the license. The biggest term that's different from most open source software is that you can't redistribute it.
So unless we let companies break the law, they won't give us jobs?
Good q, thanks Shorrock.

> What do you understand about the business that the seller doesn't that makes this seem worth while?

We were guessing that the seller was getting too busy running his day job at Drip to devote enough time to Codetree. It seemed reasonable because we'd been following Drip via Rob Walling's podcast and blog for years and Drip sounded like it was doing well.

We'd been in a similar spot with a previous business we sold. A seller may want to sell for a variety of reason, not just because the business is destined for failure.

But broadly, we think the PM market is huge, GitHub is huge and seems as good a partner as you could want given the platform risk, if "Software is eating the world" is true (we think it is) then the # of devs is only going to increase and they're going to need tools. And we're devs and love serving devs. So it was a good fit.
I purchased Duet a few years ago and it was unworkable. When I asked for a refund you denied me.

No hard feelings, but you didn't back your work (or even offer to troubleshoot the problem) so I won't be buying again.

David @ FE did a great job for you guys. We had talked to him a couple years ago about being our broker when we sold a previous company. We didn't use him for other reasons, but having been on the buy side of the transaction, we wouldn't hesitate to him him represent us if we were selling a business.
I wish it were a lot less rare as few ps/2-usb converters are very good, especially with a Model M for some reason. I don't want to retire it, it's still in great condition, unlike the dozen or more other keyboards I've had that have died after a year or two.
So instead of issuing shares to raise capital for Tesla they are giving them to SCTY shareholders (of which Elon is the largest!) and then taking on Solar City's debts and hugely negative cash flow. As if that is not enough we're now back to Tesla needing more money and having to go raise it.

I think the thought process is if they needed cash so badly they shouldn't have just bought a bottomless money pit.
Pretty sure it still works just fine.

Not if they're salaried, which most of them probably are.
Even if you _have_ PS/2 connectivity, good luck getting it work with legacy hardware. E.g. an original Model M kbd will not work with most modern PS/2 due to electrical limitations (can't remember if it's non enough volts or not enough amps)
Having thought about this further, I think it is probably only correct of me to talk about the "order" of "functionals" as in functions to scalars in mathematics. The term "rank" is better suited here. Category theory supports the popular definition of higher-order function and gives a different meaning to "order". So make-counter is rank-1 but still higher-order. Apologies for the previous post.
Who wrote the standalone native application?

To be more direct, I'm suggesting the standalone native application may not completely correctly implement the encryption algorithms. I have no evidence of this, but the concept still concerns me.
