Canary (https://canary.is) | New York, NY | Platform Engineer | Full-time | ONSITE

We're the innovative home security company that grew out of a [crowdfunding
campaign][0] and brought to market our easy-to-use and user-friendly video
monitoring solution. Canary combines the latest advances in computer vision,
learning, and data science to help our users live more secure lives.

I lead the platform engineering team at Canary, and am looking to grow this
team in pursuit of making our home security devices faster and smarter.

Canary's first security camera is unique in that it comes with multiple onboard
sensors - temperature, air quality, and humidity - that produce a continuous
second data stream in addition to the visuals captured by each device.

Our second product is a [battery-powered outdoor security
camera](https://canary.is/flex/) that is without doubt the coolest piece of
technology I've ever worked on. My team is responsible for the command channel
which allows us to keep in touch with sleeping, battery-powered devices that
exist mostly in a low-power state. This presents many unique challenges in
areas ranging from cryptography to asynchronous networking.

We're all passionate about doing right by our users, and this passion shows in
our designs, code, and planning.

Please have a look at the [job posting][1] if you're interested in learning
more about the team and what we do. I'm also happy to answer any questions -
e-mail is in my profile.

My MacBook Pro from 5 years ago when I started college just died due to a logic board failure a couple of months ago. A new board was ~$600, so I saved up a little more and bought an Intel NUC. I'm missing the portability though and my Dell 11 chromebook is a bit too small to use comfortably.

I don't _need_ one right now, but I'm definitely in the market and weighing my options.
The second law of thermodynamics is as fundamental as the uncertainty principle: The former is a result from markov chains and information theory, the latter is a result from fourier analysis of conjugate variables.

What would you consider a "fundamental physical law"?
I was looking through this "dump" yesterday. There's not really much in there other than some hostnames and IP addresses of compromised hosts used by the NSA to launch attacks but some of the "timestamps" were as far back as 2001 (there might be even older, I didn't look through all of the files).

I've been happily running Dell computers for years. They're not perfect, but I've been using Linux for 20 years, and am not about to switch to Apple. I'm too attached to the freedom Linux gives me, and am mostly satisfied with Dells that run Linux as something that just works out of the box.

I've been listening to Spotify's "Beats to think to" playlist for writing — so much that it has completely skewed all of my other Spotify music recommendations. Obviously, it doesn't completely prevent distractions, as evidenced by reading HackerNews instead of working. ;)

I'm a junior developer, but am extremely passionate and motivated to constantly be learning. I've contributed to open source and am currently working on a interview flashcards app, which is open source! I'm in a very active Slack channel for iOS devs, where I try and answer questions, as well as ask good questions of my own.
Philip Greenspun makes a compelling argument that the new pilots making $25k and working the longest hours under the worst condition is a desired side-effect of union negotiations. The senior pilots, controlling the union and thus its negotiating policy, improve their outcome as much as possible. The junior employees are only nominally represented by the union, and their welfare is not a objective of the negotiations.

That's only the aspect of the job consumers see at the walgreens counter. There is more. Go to any hospital and watch pharmacists do the job of organizing the system that delivers, evaluates and supervises drugs. They are the ones dealing with the software that checks for overdoses in prescriptions. They are the ones freeing doctors from the regulatory hurdles surrounding all manner of drugs. Ask a doctor to describe the steps to acquire a shipment of a morphine tablets.

Ask a doctor how much a specific drug costs as opposed to a different treatment. Ask which treatment better fits the lifestyle of the patient. Then ask a pharmacist. There is value in the profession.

This is how Matrix works, but using SRV records:

https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#setting-up-federation

I've tried Matrix, and I feel it has potential, but right now the standard homeserver is slow and a bit of a memory hog. There are some on-going projects to develop other implementations, but they are far from complete, and not usable. I'm also a bit miffed why they didn't just choose the standard "user@domain" format for user identifiers.
As everyone is mentioning their favorite tools, I like acmetool[1] in particular. I began to work on a docker/compose/nginx integration[2], but never finished it due shifting priorities. The missing piece was a reload hook for nginx. It would have been easy with simple cgi script (just send nohup), but alas, nginx does not support cgi.

ScaleFT | San Francisco, CA; Austin, TX | Software Engineer | ONSITE

ScaleFT is a software security startup. If you already know about Google's BeyondCorp papers, then you will understand where we are going. We have created a new model of device attestation with ephemeral certificates for SSH & RDP, to provide authentication, authorization and user management.

We are looking for full time Staff Engineers in San Francisco or Austin.

# Client Engineer

This role is primarily in Go, but there is a mix of platform specific C, ObjectiveC and C#. Generalists & systems people have fun here.

The ScaleFT client software encompasses our ScaleFT Server Agent (sftd), our command line tools (sft), and our native client user interfaces on macOS, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS and FreeBSD. Our client software is how our customers interact with the ScaleFT platform, with the goal of make managing cloud infrastructure safer and more secure. This client software integrates our platform’s certificates into the native operating systems cryptographic stores (eg, Keychain on macOS).

# Backend Engineer

This role is primarily in Go. This role is focused on adding features and scaling the ScaleFT platform, which we sell as both a SaaS and on-premise. Experience with PKI is a major plus:

Redefining Your Legacy: Entrepreneurship After 50
Glassdoor approach to increasing transparency in Glassdoor pricing
Hmm. I'm skeptical that this approach is sustainable to cover the same $200k every month.

Is this truly needed to cover operations? In other words, when this falls short, are they in danger of going insolvent at some point?

I'd much rather they go some different path to cover the shortfall. Perhaps reasonably priced wildcard and/or EV certs, while leaving regular certs at the "free" price level?
I did at one time listen to music while programming, but the last few years I'm more productive when I don't. When I did, any lyrics of any kind would be too distracting. It would have to be really mellow (any genre really).
Flat characters, unfortunately, are a regular feature of Chinese fiction, and not just sci-fi (though worse in sci-fi). In fact, most of the complaints about Three Body on this page (weird story structuring, awkward language, huge plot twists in the space of one or two sentences) are broadly applicable to contemporary Chinese fiction in general.

If anyone's interested in more Chinese sci-fi, Clarkesworld has been mentioned. I also produce a literary journal of Chinese fiction in translation, called Pathlight, and we did one issue based on sci-fi, with I think some really excellent stories in it. I wonder if posting a link to what is essentially my own product is frowned upon here... Well, hell with it. Here's the ebook if anyone's interested:

4 Tax Tips Every Person Over 50 Needs to Know NOW
Am I the only one disappointed when crowd funded projects offer so much in terms of rewards?

I get it when it comes to crowd funded products - actually getting the product - but do you really need the overheads of making and shipping (and in some cases handling returns) on physical rewards? Anyone in the know - How much does this eat into the raised funds?

Another comment here mentioned they're likely after corporate donations - I'm guessing they get processed outside of indiegogo?
Yes, I use caddy extensively for non-production/internal and personal projects.

I wonder why they don't collect email addresses for people using their service. It would open all sorts of opportunities for marketing, soliciting donations, and also service announcements. I mean, I heard about this campaign on Hacker News, not directly from Let's Encrypt.

Also, I'd probably sign up for a small recurring donation if it was possible. Recurring donations could become a significant and reliable source of funding.

Edit: I am not suggesting they start spamming everyone and ask for money. An opt-in email list for topics not strictly related to service would be good.
But modern linguists are generally not the kind of people who'd want to take an elocution class today. Mostly people who would want to take such a class are people whose accents clearly mark them as being in a disfavored group. So if "modern linguists" really oppose the very concept of such a class I'd say they're being rather solipsistic.

And in fact I don't think they do, since linguists are among the specialists who contribute to "accent reduction" courses, which seems like a modern name for the same thing.
Well, you can, but if you do it to lots of people at once your customer support phone banks will get flattened and then everybody else who has a problem at the same time will be angry at you too.

I did ISP operations once back in the day and balancing "will this make things better or will it just crush our CS dept a different way?" was one of the things you had to think about.
I commented in the other thread a few days ago, but I LOVE my XPS 15. I opted for the lower res matte screen, but otherwise maxed out the available specs.

The battery life is fantastic. The touchpad is the best I've ever used on a Windows laptop. The GPU is excellent (960m). The keyboard is great.

Overall, no complaints. I did also purchase an XPS 13, which I thought was great, but the screen was just a little too small.

FWIW I purchased my 'refurb', they pop up from time to time on Dell Outlet, but they go quick.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Linux works flawlessly. Currently running Antergos, but have also run Ubuntu.
The autoresponder is more of a "This domain accept OAuth" and sends back the email body.

That way, the autoresponder doesn't need to know anything about the process nor does it authenticate the user.

It merely sends back a mail that portier can interprete as "Ok, I send an auth email there and this response means they want me to construct an oauth link to this domain"

it's stateless and only requires a rather simple autoresponder that can include email bodies.

Furthermore, portier can also verify the login link, so that replay attacks aren't feasible and the sender and link-owner must have matching emails.

Cause "everyone and their mother" has been ramming "wait until the new ones come out" in to their heads for 3 years and they want to finally get the new MBP.

I know roughly 4-5 people in this exact situation right now.
Because many bought simultaneously with new Apple releases and have been waiting to see the next major version. In my case our MacBook pros are > 3.5 years old, which is too old for my comfort level; I expect major failures after 3 years that aren't worth even one day of lost productivity.
I've been doing very similar research, but with slightly different constraints, so for those who might be looking for a more powerful laptop:

* 15 inch screen, preferably hidpi

* ability to power two external 4k@60 displays

* 64GB of RAM

* M.2 NVMe SSD (preferably Samsung SM961 / 960 Pro)

* quad core (this trumps kaby lake vs skylake)

* touch screen

Other than that, I tend to agree with the opinions expressed in the article.

I have found four possibilities:

* Dell Precision 7510 paired with TB15 thunderbolt dock (no touch screen)

* Lenovo Thinkpad P50 (People seem to have troubles getting 2 external screens at 4k@60, no touch)

* Falcon Northwest TLX / System76 Oryx Pro / Clevo (1080p no touch, bad battery, but has GTX 1070, more USB-C ports)

There is one more possible contender, which is the as yet unreleased kaby lake XPS 15. Given the XPS 13 refresh, I suspect we'll see the new XPS 15 in the December / January time frame. If I knew for certain that it would support 64GB of RAM, I would wait and get that machine, but at this point I'm leaning towards buying the Precision 7510 in the next week or two.
Sorry for ignorant question, but is touch screen works on Ubuntu?

I've been eyeing jumping to linux, whether on a mac or some other laptop...

They are not saying they would need to raise 200k from crowd every month. Instead:

"We decided to run a crowdfunding campaign for a couple of reasons. First, there is a gap between the funds we’ve raised and what we need for next year. Second, we believe individual supporters from our community can come to represent a significant diversification of our annual revenue sources, in addition to corporate sponsorship and grants"

And that preference is a weird one as those 6th generation processors in Macbook Pro's are a way better than already released 7th generation CPUs. Also the integrated GPU is better.
I am sorry for my rants. I admire Apple for so many amazing things they invented.

This frustration is not sudden, it took time to build up. And I share this opinion with many of my colleagues and many other developers. This is similar to what happened to Windows and Microsoft thing which happened to Microsoft.

iOS development has been getting frustrating and Android is improving A LOT. AppStore search algorithm/flow is now so brutal that its getting very difficult for new developers to get a breakthrough.
