CloudFlare https://www.cloudflare.com/ | San Francisco, CA; London, UK; Singapore, SG; Urbana-Champaign, IL; Austin, TX | VISA, ONSITE

CloudFlare is building a better Internet -- performance and security optimization at the edge. Our long term goal is to give every site the same performance, security, and reliability that major sites like Google and Facebook accomplish, without any specialized network hardware or complicated administration. We enhance millions of sites, including this one. We're hiring for a variety of roles -- started 2015 at 128, ended around 220, doubling again in 2016.

This is a perfect time to join -- product market fit is established, but there's a lot of great engineering, product, sales, and support work to be done. We've publicly said we're profitable and on track for long term independent success. You may wish to check out our blog to see the kinds of engineering work we do. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/).
https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a listing of positions. We're always hiring for operations/SRE, sales, general systems engineering (mostly in Go, nginx, and network, as well as DNS at scale), and web development. Specific roles we're keen to hire include:

0) Front End Engineer(s): building new UI/UX to expose controls and data to customers is an increasing portion of what we do. Our current front-end stack is Backbone + Marionette with Browserify and Sass. Our new projects are using React + Redux + Babel + css-modules, and generally adopting Higher Order Components. We're also starting the process of re-imagining our main WWW Front-end stack with a migration to Redux.

1) Data Engineering(s) -- We have a ton of different technologies that our data engineers work with, and they are a really strong core team here. Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker, Mesos, Marathon, Chronos, nginx, and so many more technologies.

2) Product Security Engineer -- We have a lot of applications and need more talented software engineers who love to break and fix. We need hands on engineers who are not afraid to dive in and drive fixes to completion, and evangelize security.

3) Systems Engineer (Austin) -- We are hiring systems engineers at all of our offices, but our Austin office is growing very quickly. Our Austin office is working on some really new and innovative projects. Web and distributed systems built with Go, Node, Docker, and much more.

If you're interested, please apply through the https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team link, our recruiting team looks at every single application from every applicant.
Sandforce SSDs did implement compression, this allowed them to write and read less to the flash boosting performance. But the SSD still reported the full uncompressed size to the OS. This is because the abstraction that storage devices present to the OS is block and the device can't present a varying amount of total blocks on the device depending on the data written to the drive.
Location: Austin, TX

Remote: Maybe, but strongly prefer not to.

Willing to Relocate: Yes, but only to the Bay Area.

Technologies: PostgreSQL, PL/pgSQL, Python, Clojure, some ruby and C.

Resume: Will be more than happy to send a resume, but projects include...

http://itemhut.com/ -- An open source inventory, order management, product management, etc, system, written in Python and PostgreSQL.

http://coderedux.com/ -- Personal blog written in Clojure. I mainly write about programming + music (encoding music theory), and databases.

My latest project is extracting sheet music from music files, written in C. This is unlikely to be open-sourced, though I'd be more than happy to share some of the code.

github -- https://github.com/dt1

Main interests: I strongly prefer to work in edtech or music tech. I'm a huge fan of working with databases, especially PostgreSQL.

I guess the difference is that music for listening is intended to capture attention, whereas music for focus should direct attention to where you want.
Email can be decentralized because of DNS as its underlying routing "protocol". To reach somebodies emailserver, you need to know the MX record of its domainname (which is part of the emailaddress). Maybe we can build a decentralized chat system based on this same principle, by using TXT records for example.
I'm feel like I didn't explain myself carefully enough, so just one more time, just to clarify, I'm going to re-state:

The attackers this disclosure contemplates have both browser RCE and a zero-day Windows kernel privilege escalation vulnerability. There is no site you can direct them to that an attacker can't briefly replace with a malware installation vector. The advice you're suggesting Google provide simply doesn't apply.
Pardon my ignorance, but what does "batteries included" mean in this context?
Premature optimization? :)
What "differences in traffic" do you mean exactly? Who gets to decide them - that's a political thing, no?

Who We Are

Fractl is a creative marketing agency that fuses data journalism and information design to explore universal human interests in original and daring ways.

The Role

We’re looking for a Data Scientist who can reveal the most interesting and surprising findings in data he/she collects, cleans, models and tests. The ideal candidate will have an excellent grasp of basic statistics, including statistical tests, distributions, and maximum likelihood estimation. A solid understanding of statistical significance is vital, as is the ability to determine if methodologies are sound. Your contributions to Fractl projects will be crucial in ensuring stories are based on meaningful results that truly represent trends in the real world.

Your role in a project will typically begin by assessing potential data sources alongside a data journalist to find one (or several) that has the potential to reveal a compelling story that relates to the client’s products or services. You will then collect the data, scraping it if necessary, before analyzing it through Exploratory Data Analysis and hypothesis testing using such statistical programs at Excel and Tableau. Your juicy discoveries are then presented to an information designer and data journalist for them to produce an engaging visual story and article the general public can enjoy.
I'll bet you have an Intel chip and a phone. Both have surveillance capabilities built in: Intel ME and your phone's baseband processor.
Hey, a friendly reminder.

We are scraping this thread every month. All positions available to search on the map.

I recently got a new laptop to run Ubuntu on.

Initially I bought a Lenovo Yoga 900 - the hardware was great, but I ran into the bios shenanigans which blew up on HN and Reddit a week or so after I'd returned it. (They have since fixed it.)

I then bought a Dell Inspiron 13 7000 which is nice. Touch screen, convertible, reasonable resolution, affordable. Ubuntu installed easily (although I had to jump through minor hoops around UEFI) and everything has worked flawlessly.
I made the move to a standing-only desk about three years ago. I made a riser to go on my existing desk, so it cannot be lowered. I reserved an area for sitting if I need it.

It takes some getting used to, but I would not go back now. Invest in a good standing pad.

I primarily made the move to relieve back pain from sitting for long periods. I don't know if I buy all the sitting-will-kill-you talk, but I figure it can't hurt.

I read "serverless" in this context to mean a statically generated site, yes. I also infer that dynamic content like authentication, shopping carts, forms, etc would be third party solutions via Ajax and CORS.

I built a service [1] for this latter part (authentication, CORS sql database, and static file hosting). The pieces one could use to build anything for a statically generated site. Adoption has been... non existent up to now.

HyreCar | Los Angeles | Full Stack Engineers | On-site | Full Time | Interns ok | No Visa sponsorship
Looking for strong PHP and Javascript developers. Willing to work at a startup where the product evolves very fast and constantly.

Our offices are located in WeWork downtown LA with beautiful views all year long. Free beer and cafe too.

We are a startup growing 30% month over month for an entire year. A large part of that is because of our tech.

I don't see what the big deal is. Let's try the ideal gas. For starters temperature ∝ Kinetic energy

We have two rooms. One were molecules all travel at speed A and other room molecules travel at speed B and we open a small window.

Eventually, over a long period of time the temerature in both rooms will settle at a temperature between that of B and of A.

Let's try to formule this mathematically. This is something like the mean value theorem in calculus that f'(C)(B-A) = f(B) - f(A) for some intermediate value C. And here are function f(C) is the equilibrium temperature.

In statistical mechanics we imagine we could count the number of particles -- 10^23 or 10^25 -- something very large. And some fraction M travel at speed A and N-M of them travel at speed B. And we count the probabilities of various mixtures occurring.

external displays are 80% hdmi and 20% vga. for the next five years there will be zero dongles available to you at universities.

yes, they are available chained to your employer and mine conference rooms, but that's not the norm when you actually need to project something and forgot your dongle.

I will happily give up the 0.0001mm it will gain to have both of those. my Asus has only a raised connector and is the same thinness of the models without.

irrelevant thickness > missing ports when you need them.

saying otherwise is buying into the thinest-is-better-marketing-pissing-contest and show that you have no idea that support for both those ports are already built into your APU. they just need to run a port with no extra parts. they just leave it out to market it easier to people like you that will pay premium for it.

This is exactly right.

The new macbook pro 13" without the touch strip is already in apple stores.

I would suggest you supplement whatever you read about these macbooks with an actual visit to the apple store, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

The color definition on those new screens is INSANE, it's still far better built than any pc I've tried this year (and I tried zillions while considering one last pc before switching), and the keyboard is surprisingly good.

If you get one of these pc's, get ready for a mechanical touchpad that you WILL notice, a flattened aspect that ratio that is not ideal for document editing, and screen quality that just doesn't quite match up despite pixel counts.

Anyway, I've had a rough time switching from windows to mac this year, find it ironic that now everyone is talking about jumping ship the other way.

Edit: why exactly the downvotes?

That post makes me want a MacBook. They all look cheap with so much plastic. Aluminum unibody in my 2012 rMBP is great, and it absorbed a drop by quite well, although with visible damage.
There's a whole market of suppliers that's been going strong for decades. Especially for safety-critical embedded with untrusted, Linux/POSIX apps in separate partitions. QNX is one of best examples far as commercial adoption:

http://www.qnx.com/content/qnx/en/products/neutrino-rtos/neu...

Example of embedded product in case you wonder about performance cost of all that isolation, healing, and context switching:

https://youtu.be/vPo6gl8N0wM?t=1m20s

EDIT to add the QNX Desktop Demo that came on a single floppy. Throwing it in since you were mentioning resource-constrained systems further down. A floppy is 1.44MB with base QNX running in ROM's of embedded systems. Can scale such architectures it up or down however you wish. :)

Computing power.

Even fastest compression algorithms like LZ4 need Core i5-4300U @1.9GHz in order to get 385MB/s [1]. You'd need a pretty powerful setup to have it keep up with SSD speed and you also need to be mindful of heat generated. Also, it would be pretty useless if the volume's encrypted.

An auto responder wouldn't have access to the user that made the request's cookies, and therefore would be unable to actually authenticate the user. You'd wind up with a system where anyone that knew your email would be able to log in as you, which is a rather bad idea.
> The attackers this disclosure contemplates have both browser RCE and a zero-day Windows kernel privilege escalation vulnerability. There is no site you can direct them to that an attacker can't briefly replace with a malware installation vector. The advice you're suggesting Google provide simply doesn't apply.

Elsewhere in the thread (and far prior to our discussion here), I linked to http://venturebeat.com/2016/10/31/google-discloses-actively-...

> A source close to the company also shared that the exploit Google describes requires the Adobe Flash vulnerability. Since Flash has been patched, the Windows vulnerability is mitigated. That said, Microsoft still needs to plug the security hole as it could be leveraged in other types of attacks.

So, it would appear there's no RCE and that there's just an 0day priv-esc.

I have done this type of structure MANY times, for humans and for payment processing.

EDIT: also, I completely missed your reference to State taxation, and when SaaS stuff is taxable/not taxable. Yeah. State taxation is painful, because the tax is low but the pain for screwing it up is high. On the other hand, the rules are arbitrary and unpredictable, so you have that going for you.

Anyone interested in this era/design would do well to look at other Railway posters of the age[1]. There's something so utterly charming about this bye-gone era. A lot of the original posters change hands for not-inconsiderable amounts of money and one can see why, true design outlasts the fashion of the day.

Those with access to BBC should also checkout the 'Age of Travel' episode of Antiques Roadshow that was on Sunday, very relevant.[2]

Yes, as I've been saying, it can be leveraged by any browser RCE.
Anyone who needs a laptop right now and can wait for CES, should.
+1 Lenovo. I have a slight preference for the sleek form factor of the X1. I imagine Mac fans might take issues with the textured trackpad, the all plastic surfaces (though high-density plastic at least), and the aforementioned matte screen. Ran Ubuntu on one for years before switching to OSX for a few years (switching back if Apple doesn't give the Pro a spec bump soon (unlikely) ).

Why avoid HDMI?

This is a sincere question.
Do you need a laptop? I know that I prefer a laptop, but I don't really need a laptop.

Could you get a Mac desktop and remote into it? It might be cheaper and more powerful even when including the cost of the other machine.
