I still love NixOS! A little hiccup here and there but it's still a great idea that I am happy to support.
There's another solution, which is that reviewers who find that their good review is being used to flog a substantially worse product (and in this case, the reviewer themselves gets to determine what is substantial) disown/update that review and/or refuse to review that manufacturer's products in the future.

Well, the choice is between an arbitrary category with a complex definition that doesn't provide any insight to its evolution history, to one that is strictly defined by nature itself and provides lots of evolutionary insight. Generally speaking you should prefer things that assume less and explain more.

But, don't give up coding. You will succeed if you continue to practice.

Don't just write code for yourself or as an attempt to start a business. Instead, join a major free source project that you would use and find interesting by fix bugs and then submitting the fixes. Continue to do this and if you are good enough and like to work on the project enough, you may become a core part of the team. Eventually this will help you build connections for other work. Developing yourself is often more important than developing a product for a business.

Give that 5 years, then will have more experience to guide your business ideas.

This isn't the path for everyone. Some get lucky and work on the right product at the right time. But, if you've given it your best effort, try something else. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is the definition of insanity.
There are different types of funding provided by Mozilla. We participated in the Secure Open Source (SOS) Fund and that was pretty straightforward. Mozilla pays a security firm to audit an open source codebase and then report their findings to the authors. There is little to argue over compensation-wise.

Mozilla plays a small but valuable role in shepherding fixes that assists any team unprepared to deal with such an audit report. I think having Mozilla broker the conversation helps with framing the report too: it communicates that the project is important enough to warrant such an interaction and that this was done to help, whereas I think that communication directly from a security firm is more typically viewed with suspicion or denial.

Hypothetically, the target of the assessment not being paid to fix the discovered issues could present a problem. I have never seen compensation to fix security bugs in practice. In some ways, it feels wrong since the compensation might go up based on the number or severity of bugs found, in essence a reward for insecure code. If you're maintaining a critically important project, security fixes seem like the cost of entry, not something that needs an extra push.

In my opinion, it is better to earmark funds to developers for strategic improvements anyway (eg. sandboxing, verification, privilege separation, etc). The Foundational Technology Fund from Mozilla requires a "clear and current project goal" [1], so if they funded a security improvement it looks like it would follow this approach [2].

In our experience, working with zlib was a pleasure. They fixed nearly all of our issues before we even noticed and we had a detailed, technical discussion about one of them. I credit Gervase at Mozilla for assisting with that and I would certainly work with the whole team there again.

I agree with what you're saying. You don't want to get stuck in a corner. That's smart and pragmatic. Perhaps an expert that mentors the rest of the team? I just don't see how we can do without software build tools. They are so common in almost every language/platform I've used.

It would be nice if discussions were done on a newsgroup instead. At least you don't have to be part of the conversation and you can read through discussions as far back as the retention policy on the NNTP server allows.

The best way to solve this is to find a business partner who is also a good friend of you. The best freelance teams I know contain extroverts who connect with the clients (and sometimes develop) and god-like developers who do the heavy lifting. You shouldn't underestimate the effort to get a client and do proper project management and budgeting, it's easier with a good friend who knows his business stuff.

From the article:

> There’s also a wide body of research that’s found that decreasing latency has a roughly linear effect on revenue over a pretty wide range of latencies and businesses.

I'd be interested in seeing that citation list, particularly for non-google/amazon businesses.
Could it be that there was 'review brigading' against Comcast? I could see e.g. a popular Reddit thread directing people to leave poor reviews wherever they could, which might lead to some spikes of one star reviews that are then given very little weight for the overall rating.

The bias is that many of these people are serial reviewers that have been selected because of their willingness to leave positive reviews. They jeopardize their participation if they leave a negative review.

The quid pro quo is simple: leave positive reviews in exchange for more free stuff.

PS-->English is not my first language, please do not roast me for my grammar and sentence formation

1. you should distinguish yourself as either a copy paste coder, or a genuinely articulate engineering guy who loves to churn original stuff.

2. if #1 is true, then you should continue to pursue coding as hobby and help your old man in putting his affairs in order by using your skill set.

3. if #2 is true then
1. are you positioning your self correctly?
2. are you reaching out to right set of hiring
managers?
3. are you able to effectively communicate in your own
mother tongue about your skill set? forget English,
clairvoyance could be be exhibited in your language
as well.
4. did you analyze why you flunked your interviews,
was it communication or technology?
5. are you a guy who starts 20 different things or
projects and complete very few.
6. do you have a github page to showcase your
technological prowess?

After you analyse your self, ask question, why your brain is so adamant and thinking about taxes etc? could it be way to escape for not accepting that you are not a good engineer?

Your father has given you food and education with his EMPIRE and he is still running it successfully, i would say since he is still supporting you.

Very few of us are luck to have old man setup a running business, if you are not doing any thing right now, sit with him, help him in optimizing his business with your skills, trust me in bad days 1 in hand is better then 2 in bush. Ask him to pay you salary for your time so that you feel independent and lookout for good opportunities simultaneously.
You're absolutely correct with respect to the differences between assessments in higher ed and those in K-12. K-12 is outside my wheelhouse. Although your point of entry is interesting. I'm wondering what the lead time would be before you hit a large enough mass of tagged questions with student performance data.

Do you have any links to information on the current market for curriculum creation/curriculum performance toolsets? (Something with a list of companies, their products, total market penetration, and respective market share.)

You're going to talk about Uber? Watch this video: [1]. He talks about every regret regarding their infrastructure. At first you kind of nod your head along with "yeah, it's not that easy", but as he keeps talking you can't help but wonder why the company has absolutely no internal technical direction whatsoever.

They employ over 2000 engineers (just devs, excluding support staff, etc.). They use micro-services designed to the point where teams can't reuse pre-existing services. They are rewriting the same functionality over and over, and over and over again, as separate teams don't even have a clue what has already been written. Pick a piece of functionality you need. There are straight up 20 different APIs that do the exact same thing, but good luck figuring out which one you should be using - oh wait, why bother when you can just write the 21st version of the same thing. They are at the point where they have no clue what their repositories contain. In the video, he can't even provide an accurate number of deployed micro-services. THEY CANNOT EVEN ASSESS WHAT THEY ARE RUNNING IN PRODUCTION. They're literally drowning, and cannot recover.

The point of the article is wrong. It's not about what can be done in one weekend, it's what can be done in 12-24 months by a competent team. Yes, Uber operates internationally which comes with a very crazy set of challenges. 2000 engineers worth of challenge? Not even remotely close. You should need fewer than 100 people who really know what they're doing, and another 300-400 people who can follow the lead of the first 100. If you need more than that for a single product (ie: Google does not apply as they have 100+ full products), you are doing things wrong.

If you're going to provide the anti-thesis, don't use Uber as your example. They don't even understand how their business is managing to remain afloat from a technical perspective.

Outcomes.com | Berkeley, CA | ONSITE | Technical Co-founder | Full-time

Outcomes.com is a digital health startup based out of Berkeley's SkyDeck accelerator. We help healthcare providers close the feedback loop by routinely following up with their patients after major surgeries or treatments using patient-reported outcome surveys and other forms of digital check-ins. We process and visualize the data to help care teams deliver more personalized, proactive and value-driven care. We're in a huge and growing market as reimbursement shifts from doctors getting paid for doing more, to getting paid based on their actual patient outcomes.

We have a launched HIPAA-compliant product with our first paying customers. We're looking for a technical lead (and potential co-founder) to help us take things to the next level, help define our future product and make it happen. In particular we're searching for someone who can work across our JavaScript stack (AWS/Aptible/MongoDB/Node/Angular/React/D3), understands security best practices, has experience in building self-service products, can lay the foundations to grow our team and is motivated to solve some of the toughest challenges in healthcare.

As a bootstrapped company we have a lot of flexibility and aim to raise our first round of funding early next year. As such this is primarily an equity-based proposition but an opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a company that is already up and running.

Interested? Please email me at francis AT outcomes.com (founder and medical doctor) - I look forward to hearing from you!

Yes, Azure load balancers are free compared to aws's elbs ~20$ charge.

aws elb support http and https termination, and can even provide free SSL certs. Azure's is tcp/udp only.

And the new aws Application load balancers offer even more features.

So it depends on your use-case.
I think the risk is that we are not prepared to extend the same sort of support to boys as the gender ratio begins to equalize; because women have been disadvantaged for so long we don't have the social and political infrastructure to transition to a more equitable system. Compare the slow development of abuse shelters for men despite the relatively similar gender ratios. I don't think it's out of place to raise calls of discrimination well in advance of the gender ratio balancing out. After all, a proportion of 56% to 20% in internet connectedness by gender is actually a massive improvement on the historical state of affairs. And yet, I'm seeing no willingness to even consider a more balanced distribution of aid - not completely balanced, of course, but adjusted to the actual gender split. Instead, raising the thought gets you labelled as some sort of misogynist. Well then.

Cut is not encoding aware... not all Linux distribution have encoding aware grep, and even then you'd need to tell them which encoding to use in many cases.

And I don't mean to say any one tool is free of version conflicts, but relying on many tools means relying on many versions. Reducing your total dependency graph is a lesson many language environments have taken from the mess of Java and C++.
It's a fair assumption, but not always true, unfortunately.
> you have to install and configure one of a handful of clients that doesn't mangle the patches first.

git-am and git-send-email are used by some people. Submitting patches using those tools is just a matter of setting up the necessary parameters (email server and authentication information). But you can use any email client to participate in discussions about a patch series regardless of whether or not it mangles text (since review comments or further discussion obviously do not need to be applied to one's local copy of the code).
Detective threatened to kill teens and plant drug evidence was not fired
Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card

We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent 30 GHz radios in space using SDRs.

Work with incredibly smart people who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a very small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.

Roles we’re hiring for include:

* Embedded software -- write mission critical software that runs the spacecraft. Should have experience with microcontroller driver-level code and basic PCB design.

* Electrical -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant electronics, power systems, or high speed digital design

* Mechanical -- design, build, and test deployables and mechanisms. Should be experienced in stress and thermal analysis

* Aerospace/controls -- implement solutions to 6 DOF, non-linear control problems. Experience with spacecraft controls is a plus but not required.

* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range including microwave system-level design, RF PCB design, and antenna design, simulation, and characterization.

* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores

Please email john@astranis.com if you’re interested in learning more.
Just wanted to add that our company is being shutdown and the employees put together a website for anyone who want to hire us:

Tympanus/Codrops is such an amazing resource to learn and use stuff from there. Glad to know people know about this site.
Why? It doesn't even save money to use 100Mbit. You could argue staying on XP is actually costing more money.
The toolset itself has the weirdest gaps. You can get to 80-90% of a website design really quickly with the standard angular+bootstrap or whatever. But when a client wants it to do "Feature X" that is in one of the gaps then you're stuck spending hours trying to either hammer the problem into one of the frameworks or roll your own solution. And it's very hard to explain how "Feature X" took nearly half the time of standard "Features A-W".
I have no connection to YC (except for reading HN daily) and I don't know Sam personally.

These longer profiles invite assumptions, praise and critique based on a sentence or two and they are often way off base.

My takeaway and you may disagree, without getting too heavy: Sam Altman is one of a very small handful of people in the history of the world who has the resources, the awareness, the intelligence and maybe the motivation to do important, mankind-changing things. Sound exciting? Actually to most people who get what that really means, that is very very scary and a bit sad.

This group of people is not limited to SV, but for comparison: Elon and Zuck are also in this handful of people with Sam. Musk has chosen his "inter-planetary species on planet Mars" and he has a plan. Zuck (and his wife LLC) seem to have chosen eradicating all diseases ASAP - his plan is starting now.

I don't think Sam has found his "Planet Mars" yet and that can be really hard on someone. He knows the odds of finding it and the odds of success even if he does find it.

I also think the YC startup thing that pg and Jessica started is of secondary importance here. Sam has the skills to run YC of course, but I'm not sure that's why pg handed it to him...

Sam might have office hours and can spit off advice like "talk to your paying customers more" or "understand the problem being fixed" which new, lost founders always seem to need to be told. This stuff is so easy for someone like Sam and most natural entrepreneurs it's almost laughable and might even get annoying after a while...

I think pg handed YC to Sam not for YC's sake. Many people could have taken over YC. I think one reason that pg did it was to give Sam something else to work on so Sam's search for meaning, for his "Planet Mars", didn't consume him to the point that it broke him and the promise he has. He did it to save Sam's life.

These are all assumptions and personal opinions. As someone familiar with earning a relatively large amount of money at a young age and then wanting to do something more important to me than just make more money, but not knowing what to do, Sam is among those I look to and I am following his career.

I wish him a lot of success and happiness.
