Factual - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Shanghai

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Bing, Apple, Facebook and Groupon.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop/Spark.

You can email me personally at alexr@factual.com, or view our job postings here: https://www.factual.com/jobs#openings

Running your browser in Red Hat's SELinux sandbox [1] [2] limits the ports you can connect to and thus limits this type of attack to those ports (80, 81, 443, 488, 8008, 8009, 8443, and 9000 in the default configuration).

In addition to what has been said about lexicographic ordering, if the strings are large, say several kB (as they may well be), the entire operation would be dominated by memory latency. In this case it is much cheaper to read each string once, instead of going an extra pass just to find the length.

No Coding in Palo Alto? City Takes on Silicon Valley Growth
Auth0 | Seattle,WA; Buenos Aires, Argentina | REMOTE

Ultimately, we strive for an internet with fewer passwords. Our vision is to provide the simplest and most secure identity platform for developers, to make the internet safer. We're looking for people to join us on this journey.

- Infrastructure Engineer: https://auth0.com/jobs/engineer/infrastructure-engineer

- Engineer in Test: https://auth0.com/jobs/engineer/engineer-in-test

- iOS Engineer: https://auth0.com/jobs/engineer/ios-engineer
Well first off, I honestly don't know if it's possible; if I knew, I'd just shoot an email off to 1password.

That being said, I don't think we're suggesting the same thing. I'm saying one could write a webpage that uses DNS rebinding to make requests on localhost, like OP. Then, the webpage, completely bypassing the browser's built-in extension system, makes a request to 1password over localhost (which they're already using for IPC).

The reason that DNS rebinding is relevant is twofold; first, you need the request to hijack existing IPC between the browser extension and the standalone desktop app, and two, because you need to have the request come from the browser's PID. That should all work.

The question here revolves around 1password's verification that the origin is coming from, for example, something similar to

> safari-extension://com.agilebits.onepassword4-safari-2bua8c4s2c

So then your webpage would also need to be able to spoof the origin of your localhost requests to look like they were coming from that origin. I don't know if that's possible or not, but if it is, it would imply that this technique could get you illegitimate access to 1password.

Have you ever smoked tobacco? This isn't really true. Tobacco really does have psychoactive effects even before you are addicted. Yes, all things considered, tobacco is basically evil and should be replaced with something else, but it's not like people are just making shit up about how good it feels.

I had similar issues with the Soundcloud app on iOS cutting out mid-track. Nothing seemed to fix it aside from totally restarting the app and finding my play head position again. It's kind of surprising because their desktop experience is so so good.

It's definitely possible to download on Soundcloud (ex. see "Download" button here https://soundcloud.com/travisscott-2/uber-everywhere). I think whoever runs the YC Soundcloud account has not enabled it. I agree it would be nice.

Billbee | Detmold, Germany | Full Time | Full Stack Developer | ONSITE

We are a small two person company building an automation solution (web app) for ecommerce merchants selling on marketplaces and shops with great success.

Looking here for the first full time developer (in addition to myself), so you should be some kind of a general purpose / full stack developer interested in every aspect of building a modern and distributed web application and shaping a product used by thousands of merchants.

We are working with the Microsoft stack - C#, .NET Framework, MSSQL Server on the backend and are migrating the frontend to angularjs / typescript at the moment.

Please mail to jk@billbee.de for questions or applications.
The string compare operations built into old CISC architectures also weren't that fast. It's more like they were designed as bullet points for the salesmen. (Who were talking to execs who remember managing people who wrote things in assembly.)

Redtamarin: AS3 running on the command line / server side

Basically, based out of the Tamarin [1] / avmplus [2] open source project (not updated anymore) the goal is to develop the runtime to support more native functionalities and other system calls.

It is about the ActionScript 3.0 language and the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2), and how to port those to the command-line and server-side and "compete" with many other languages like Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc.

So yeah it is probably less sexy than to work on popular JS stuff :D

It's not about cloning V8/Node and do it with AVM2/AS3, it's more about providing the native calls, the tools to let other developers build their own clone of Node.js if they want to.

It's not about producing a "Flash Player clone" either.

Current release is 0.4.1, v0.4.2 coming up next week.

This project can do already a lot but have plenty more potential (at least we think so),
if you want to have a "feel" of the project just browse the twitter timeline https://twitter.com/redtamarin plenty of posts, screenshots, and rants etc.

Skills needed: C/C++ (hardcore level), ActionScript 3.0 (advanced level), both or one of the other, any other skills also welcome (svn the odd stuff like marketing/sales)

Isn't this just the nature of software though? I mean, my DOS and Win 3.1 software no longer works either...
This turns Bitcoin back into cash. Original money system. Any comparisons with money laundering are misguided because it gives users back their privacy - privacy they didn't had because of the fact that blockchain is public. Today they have some privacy while using banking system - average criminals don't have access to their financial information. With new privacy tools for Bitcoin no-one will have access to that information. Just a side effect of "no privileged third parties" system.

If this is money laundering - than cash is money laundering. Plain and simple.
> This is purely anecdotal, but I am seeing far fewer replyallpocalypses than I did 10-15 years ago.

Everywhere I've worked email has slowly started taking a back seat to chat clients. Initially it was only email. Lots of Reply Alls. Then most of the places I went to use Google Chat and sometimes you'd just bring in multiple people at once. Hell or even a Google Hangout. Today most seem to go straight for Slack with email being secondary.

I don't think people care about email nearly as much anymore.
This is a good question. There could be substantial damage. The Antares failure at Wallops knocked the pad out for months and took $15 million to repair.

dataset: databases for lazy people (Python)
The same validation scheme(s) can be applied to AI as well. That doesn't mean their inner workings are any more or less penetrable, just that they pass some minimal threshold of competence.

E.g., AlphaGo is clearly good at Go. Yet it makes moves that can appear inscrutable to a human expert.

(NB: I'm not arguing that inscrutability is or is not an issue for AI systems, just suggesting that third-party validations don't meaningfully address the issue one way or the other.)
These are not null-terminated strings; it's not necessary to read the whole string to find its length.
About Security Update 2016-001 El Capitan and Security Update 2016-005 Yosemite
Crusty though the software is, this is why list-hosts matter. Reply all is a terrible way to manage group communication by email. list-name@lists.domain.com is a pretty decent way to go about it. Emails that get distributed have a [list-name] tag prepended to the subject line for trivial filtering on the client side. You can set a large list to require moderation before distributing messages (except from a list of blessed senders). You can tell the software to set the Reply-To header to the sender's email, rather than the list's address, so that the "Reply" and "Reply all" buttons have the expected behavior. And there is self-service subscribe/unsubscribe via a web interface (with permissions, of course).

My university operates such a server and it's heavily used by everyone from department announcements to student organization coordination/discussion.

You generally work with copies of production databases. Hell I have prod copies of a couple banks' databases on my machine at work which I'm pretty sure violates some data protection law somewhere, despite us being (I assume) legally bound to keep the data secret.

AFAIK we're only allowed to have them on our work machines and we encourage clients to sanitize them before handing them over but not many do.
> Why do we get mired with the attempts quagmire?

Because if women start to use more lethal methods we'll see their rates of death overtake men. We care about attempted suicide, and self harm, because we want to reduce the rates of attempted suicide and of completed suicide.
Ah, sorry, my bad. There is so much talk about null-terminated strings here, and I had only skimmed the article. Whoops :P

Ask HN: Simple client websites – What do you use?
For a client, let's say a lawn care company who needs a few pages, maybe a portfolio and email quoting service? I notice a lot of people use Wordpress, but I'm not too familiar with it and it seems like there's a ton for a client to look at (menus/etc..) when they want to go in and change stuff.

I'm a frontend dev (Ruby/Rails + JS [React]), and don't want use a wordpress/php plugins. I also hate their templating system.

How about single page websites? Do you spin up a wordpress just for that?

Also hosting. One VPS for all? Do I host one and charge them or just sign them up for their own hosts with their credit cards?

I have been doing client websites as a side for a while now and I just can't seem to find something that works for ME.

> First, I don't think that the only way to assign meaning to computation is by formally assigning meaning to the syntactic components that comprise its program, as written in some human-readable language.

Please suggest alternatives - that actually work.

> Most of the relevant meaning is in human interpretation of the input and output or the sensors and actuators.

The relation between the input and the output. This can only be stated formally.

> Components' meaning may be stated informally.

That leads to disaster very quickly.

> I am not aware that formal meaning is the only valid meaning.

Well, I am. Too much nonsense has been said as a result of not formalizing things.

> Second, you keep identifying the notion of computation with the notion of a program written by a person.

No. Even if a computation “arises in nature” (which is just your way of looking at things, actual physical phenomena is what you can measure, plain and simple), the only way to make sense of it is to write a program that reproduces the computation. This is how scientific theories work.

> Or TLA+, which makes types notoriously more difficult to use by comparison.

Some type systems are more difficult to use than others, and the type theory community is definitely guilty of not paying enough attention to usability, but I don't see how model checking has a higher power/cost ratio than sensibly designed type systems. Which tool satisfies the following criteria?

(0) Compositionality: you can understand a large system by studying its parts in isolation.

(1) Handles higher-order constructs (first-class functions, objects) gracefully.

(2) Stops you from saying nonsense as early as possible.

I rest my case.
I also agree with the extension of trial time to at least a month because the abuse potential is very very low. Also, when signing up for workflow related services, I sometimes take awhile to integrate its use, or I just forget about it -- making 30 days into 20 days.

They for example are main authors of the glTF standard for delivering 3D assets optimized for the browser (adopted by many engines).
