StoryWorth | SF | Full-Time — https://www.storyworth.com

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to join us at StoryWorth (www.storyworth.com).

This role is a good fit for you if you want to work on a meaningful consumer product, and if you work best with a lot of responsibility on a small team.

We’re a service that helps people record their family stories and print them in beautiful hardcover books. We have raised a seed round, have paying customers who love us, and are on track to be profitable.

You’ll be taking over the core engineering of the site, scaling it as we grow and implementing major new features. Because of this, we need someone with significant engineering experience (3-5 years full time work). You should be comfortable Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS. Bonus points if you have mobile experience and an interest in design.

Our development process is very collaborative. We'll wireframe a new feature together, you'll put together an end-to-end prototype, and we'll iterate from that. We care more about clean maintainable code than domain expertise. Our stack includes Python (Tornado), Mongo, Swift, Heroku, Stripe, Twilio & Mailgun.

If you want to apply, email me a short note about why this posting caught your attention and we’ll go from there.

I can’t wait to hear from you!

PS: Unfortunately we can’t sponsor a visa at this time, but we’re open to remote candidates if you’re a particularly good fit. Also, this role likely isn’t right for you if you graduated in the past year or recently completed a hacker school.
> Couple this cash crunch for two of his companies along with the Space X rocket explosion today, I can't imagine the amount of stress Musk is under right now!!

Self-induced stress. There is no reason for Tesla to have purchased Solar City. It was an extremely financially stupid and ego-maniacal deal, and the fact that financial institutions want protection against it just proves it. If there is ever a moment that people turn back and ask why Tesla failed, it will be this. I don't think Tesla as a company will disappear, but I can definitely see Musk losing control because of financials spinning out of control, and this would be the jump-the-shark moment.
> Any individual developer could defect from Linus' stance and work with the SFC on an infringement case.

I was looking for a source and was unable to find it quickly, but I'm pretty sure a significant number of kernel developers have joined some kind of SFC organization that allows the SFC to use their copyright in order to sue for compliance.

Edit: Thanks ashitlerferad, I missed the section on linux here: https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/. That's the source.

Edit2: Please read JoshTriplett's comment below for some clarifications on this subject.

I mean, it's not like SpaceX doesn't test. They missed something, and unfortunately this time it caused a total loss that they're going to have to answer to. But yes, you're right; we recently implemented a two-week demo lockout policy at my office. No changes are allowed being committed closer than two weeks from a demo date, and two or three guys are dedicated to just testing and shaking down the system. They're the only ones allowed to call for a bug fix, and they're only allowed to call for a bug fix. It seems as though management has finally realized that missing one requirement during a demo is much, much better than having the whole enchilada crash spectacularly.

The Farmer's Dog is a VC backed direct-to-consumer pet food company. We're building a subscription based e-commerce platform to support and manage custom plans. Our aim is to make the subscription work to our customer's advantage. We offer ridiculous amounts of flexibility to pause, delay, reroute and switch between recipes. We've been cashflow positive from day 1 and are growing faster than expected.

We're looking for a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building and delivering products to join our small and quickly growing team. Our stack is react (and redux), node, postgres, docker and aws.

If this sounds like you reach out at info+hn@thefarmersdog.com.
What happens when payload is lost at such an event due to SpaceX related failure? Obviously they have to reschedule but does SpaceX cover partial losses etc?
Polyglot programming. That's wild.
I expect it would be cost prohibitive to take on Fbook.

I would keep doing what you're doing, maybe start picking out an alternative domain/name in case they would approach you at some point wanting you to change your name.

Good luck with your app.
Could you explain how that isn't circular? As I see it, opportunity is infrequently in one's control. Whether one can take advantage of it is less infrequent, but still often enough outside of one's control. The only thing about opportunity that isn't heavily influenced by luck is whether, having the means, one takes advantage of the opportunity.
It's possible. I've worked with the commercial side of an open source project where the company that I worked for paid the OS team for some dev-time and guaranteed code reviews. It worked out okay but I assume that the cost was significantly higher than the numbers on this page. The project that we did this for was significantly more complex than Intro.js.

Companies are willing to trade money for a guarantee that something they are adopting in anger will stick around. That said I don't know if this pricing model is the right way to go about it, price signaling is a big factor at the enterprise level. For everyone below enterprise this will feel like a donation.

On a slightly different note, is anyone familiar with a successful AGPL licensed project? I worked with an OS teams a few years back where someone involved made the decision to go AGPL for commercial reasons and 100% of the OS contributions dried up over night.
Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, and Neural Networks Explained
I think this issue is muddied by conflating two different questions.

1. Tobacco itself is quite carcinogenic. Snuff, chew, gutka, and any other means of consumption all have strong cancer links. Cannabis, as I understand it, is not nearly as carcinogenic as that.

2. Smoking is also, separately, carcinogenic. Regularly breathing dense smoke is terrible for your lungs, even if you're smoking dried lettuce.

I think it's pretty well established that via 2, smoking cannabis is bad for you. If it's less bad than tobacco, that's as likely to be usage habits as anything. But people are still arguing fairly extensively over 1 - tobacco is a known carcinogen no matter how you ingest it, but I'm not sure that's a settled question for cannabis.

> Fedora's rationale for including Rust stems from both the language's growing popularity and its potential relevance to Fedora's user base.

Maybe this makes me unique, but I don't think so; unless the tool is absolutely required for the operation of the system, why include it?

I always find that I need to override any installed compilers/languages with my own. In addition, I usually forgo using the system paths for ones I manage on my own. I'm never sure if my upgrading to versions I want will break some component in the system. This happened to many times to me, so I started installing everything to my local user on the machine.

Rustup in rust is exactly what I want. Similarly in Python, virtual environments, in Java I always install the jdk to a local bin, to get a specific version.

Don't get me wrong, I wish everyone were using Rust, I just don't know how useful the system install version is.
I have been involved with some complex SOLR customizations such as Asian languages, probabilistic IR and neural ranking functions, etc. I have been proud of the end product but at the cost of blood, sweat and tears. To be fair, a lot of this was in the Lucene 3 era, in which doing anything interesting with the ranking function would be a big pain and probably wreck performance.

I haven't done anything that advanced with Elasticsearch but the #1 theme is that Elasticsearch is really easy in terms of development and operations. I know people that have developed plugins for ES that are pretty clean so I think advanced customization is easier than it used to be, but a lot of that is a matter of Lucene 4.

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting
problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :)
The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very
finely tuned through years of experience of doing this.
If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at

Yeah the last time they lost something it was a 6 month freeze on launches.
As mentioned in the article, forswearing lawsuits is a bad idea: then companies have no downside to not cooperating.
I've been working on Databricks for a month now and it is a very unique and satisfying learning experience. I generated a billion n-grams (1-6 word) from 300k docs and thinking in RDDs and Dataframes reminds me of how I felt when I first learned functional programming and GPU coding. RDD flatMap solves problems I didn't even know I had.

I ran a 'small' cluster of 24 nodes (300GB+ of RAM) and while I know I could have done the same thing with super optimized code on a single machine, not having to worry about each node's performance but instead thinking in pipelines is refreshing. My goal was not to use/make optimal tokenizer or stop-word remover but instead to make sure every part of the chain could be done in parallel.

My biggest complaint? Repeatedly having to restart the cluster because nodes stop responding or throw arcane errors. If these reliability fixes were in place last week, I would have easily been 20-25% more efficient with my time. Can't wait till Databricks team deploys this for their users.

Are you sure you need a 2.9MB hero image download which took about 20sec to load on a 12Mb broadband connection?
If you C&P it, at least you see what's being C&P'd (although it's up to you to take the trouble to understand it). `| bash`ing it runs it automatically, without even giving you a chance to see it.

EDIT: This comment was based on the assumption that my parent hadn't read carefully. My facile point ignores both the specific vulnerability pointed out by [czinck](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12406080) below, and the general vulnerability that you just can't trust anything pulled in from an external source. I think that re-directing to a file, and viewing the file with something like `:set list` set in `vim`, will work, at least in the sense of showing you the code that will actually be executed (although nothing can save you from not understanding the code), as long as you can trust your own stack. However, it is a near-certainty that this edit will prompt someone to explain how to exploit that. (That may sound like whingeing, but it's just a (happy) acknowledgement of the hacker mentality; unexpected exploitations, as PsoC rather than attacks, are pretty neat, too!)
Rubbish

> There was a car accident a few hundred yards away from where Frank collapsed. Two ambulances responded but the injuries were minor and only one was needed.

Or could it be he was on a tennis court (in the slums perhaps?) that had great medical reply rate, two ambulances sent when one wasn't even needed.

Unless you badly loophole it, via the luck gene or luck parents, which are part of 'YOU' so I don't think that's allowed.

Your future is what you make of it don't blame or rely on luck, that's a fools game.
That function can be corrected as 'Luck = Opportunity', the Walton family isn't particularly skilled.

Would be especially interesting to have zstd work with brotli's dictionary for the comparison.
I'd have to look, but most of them started developing symptoms in their 60s and it had progressed to needing full-time care by their 70s, so not super-early onset but early enough to be pretty devastating. I hadn't thought about participating in a study, but that sounds interesting. I'll have to look into it.
Here's a few photos capturing what appears to be a massive secondary explosion: https://twitter.com/taliaeliana/status/771356794291687428/ph...

(There was already an explosion or fire before this one given the smoke in the air).
Two of the most compelling reasons are cross-browser support and a better cross-device experience. For example, viewing/editing Keychain password on an iPhone requires burrowing into the Settings app, whereas 1Password has an excellent app and extension.

That's amazing! And is all the imagery in public domain?

Edit: I see 'bing', so maybe not. Also, if anyone related to the project is looking, the elevation model is extremely noisy and likely broken, so wrapping the imagery around DEM might need to uhh be looked at.

Yes, most effective checks are inconvenient but not all inconveniences are effective checks. My worry is that but focusing on "it must be inconvenient" your setting the priorities wrong. This might just result in a heap of useless labour and frustrated employees - but wouldn't shed any light on which "attack scenarios" you actually defended against, if any.

In some cases, it might make misuse actually easier if the inconveniences affect both agencies and their control instances.

Deepgram (YC W16) http://deepgram.com | ONSITE | San Francisco (SoMa) | A.I. Scientists, Web Engineers, Sales/BD | Full-time | $50-120k + equity

We do search for recorded speech using machine-learning. We find keywords/phrases and predict what's in videos, podcasts, phone calls—anything with recorded speech, really.

Founded by two particle-physicists, we’re a highly-technical team working on hard-problems (building ML models for sales, anti-fraud and understanding human languages via sound) for big-enterprise (as well as some more playful tools like Hoogley for Youtube and Podenvy for Podcasts).

Role Descriptions:

Web Engineer
We need help building-out the speech search API and front ends. Leans toward backend but creating good interfaces is needed. Creativity, high energy, motivation, and experience building APIs and complicated web apps is a must. Experience working with Tornado, AWS, GCP, Docker and fluency in Python, C++, Javascript is a big deal too.

AI Scientist
We need help building DNN models, and running it all on a HPC cluster. Creativity, high energy, motivation, and experience building DNNs in images, speech, or similar is a huge plus. Large scale computing and low level hardware experience is a great thing to have too.

Sales
We’re hiring for a variety roles: SDR, A.E. and BD

To apply, contact careers AT deepgram dot com or ping me directly using the info in my HN profile.
