Stealth-mode startup hiring in Berlin
We're looking for a young, flexible and unexperienced (but skilled) full-stack developer and system administrator to work in a young and vibrant startup company that wants to "disrupt the market" by sharing social updates full of tech buzzwords, with no reason at all expect to attract investors and boost our CEO ego.

The ideal candidate should be a total nerd without family or any kind of personal relationship, in order to work during weekends and being available to do team-building exercises, hackatons and spend most of the time with founders and colleagues.

The "perfect match" should be young enough to not being aware of labour rights and median salaries for similar positions, and should be ready to spend most of his salary to rent a flat on AirBnB and have expensive team lunches.

We consider only candidates available to relocate in Berlin without any assistance or relocation support.

Are you excited for this position? Feel free to contact us!
> They will sell me 100g of first cut shincha for $3-5 (in vacuum packed foil packages even!).

To put this in perspective for those unfamiliar with green teas: 100g of a good shincha in the US would cost at least 3x that much. For example, Upton's, my favorite specialty tea retailer who has good prices, will sell you an excellent shincha (88th Night Shincha https://secure.uptontea.com/store/item.asp?itemID=TJ87 ) but 100g will cost $34 - excluding S&H (~$5).

ADDED: I missed that, to date, to my knowledge and from what I've just been reviewing, none of the police in these cases have been so much as criminally charged.

Yes, that indeed shows it didn't happen in the US.
Probably keeping their heads low because once you "turn" on another cop -- even if that cop is shooting up a crowd of people with a machine gun while eating babies -- other cops feel that they can't trust you anymore. If they make a mistake, any mistake, you will just "tattle" on them.
A little shady that they added an entire browser to the existing content blocker "app".
> because that was their way of assessing and freezing the domain names that people would be interested in buying.

Indeed. Seems like it would be easy for them to use the auction to automatically see "300 people tried to claim this domain, it must be a good one, let's make it premium."

They wouldn't need to spend a penny doing market research to select the premium names themselves.
Preemptive move to avoid having to work with Trump and friends? Or perhaps the Clinton investigation's side-effects affected him (rather than Comey)?

Sure. Do that in any company bathroom and nobody will say anything.
I fail to understand the purpose of these non-standard TLDs. Nobody is going to remember or type in such a domain, so you stuff is only going to be found by a web search - where a standard domain would be better. So why not just register a .com - which are also cheaper?
Don't feel too bad.

Fully understanding the complete stack of a modern computer system is outside the scope of almost everyone. These things are complicated and we've built abstractions, interfaces and modules to manage the complexity.

Many people who didn't grow up with online communications don't value online communications and don't expect them to have the same levels of privacy as paper mail - but they'd be horrified if someone else opened their post.

If you mailed each of them (via traditional post) an envelope that was torn open and taped together with a message saying 'the government is doing this to all your mail' they may think differently.
Next generation of truly reusable space launch vehicles
This was the subject of the talk that I gave with a cospeaker at RustConf. Effectively, the shortcomings of dynamic type systems when it comes to building data science oriented services.

You mention that it's much omre laborious to write a struct that matches your data exactly - however, I've found that, at this stage in the process you already have some sort of schema (mental or formal) of what your data is, and it's fairly trivial to write out a structured representation of it.

What this then buys you is a semantic understanding, in your code, of what 'bad data' is and how it's handled. You know that if you get a string where you expected an int, that's a problem. You also know that if data is missing, eg: null, that you'll handle it.

In Python, a function can erroneously return None. To your data, this is just a missing value, not a bug. But there is a semantic difference, and a cost associated with that bug.

All of these problems, limited strictly to working with data, are far easier to react to and deal with in a static language.

We absolutely conceded the exploratory phase to Python. It is, and will likely remain, an excellent and near-ideal tool for that phase.

Leaving aside the static/dynamic debate - there's no attempt here to suggest that the issues over readability and maintainability could be mitigated. He's just shown the simplest Python implementation, waved his hands and then said "Hey! Let's use Go".

I'm sure there's plenty of reasons to use Go but I'm not sure this article makes a terribly good case for it in this scenario.

This is (one of) the problem with EULAs: even if I noticed that while not really skimming the EULA, I would ignore it as it seems completely unenforceable from a legal standpoint.

A sort of police police, if you will. But then who polices the police police? The obvious answer is that police police police police police police.
They are saying that the police in the US often do not get charged with crimes when they abuse their power.

Of course it isn't absolutely true, but I think it is clear enough that there is lots of work to do in making sure that abuses of power are punished.

> That "nanny state nonsense" witnessed road deaths fall from 25 per 100K in 1930 to 10 per 100K since 2010

I think the better metric is the number of deaths per billion vehicle-km. In your metric most European countries have half the deaths than the US, but it's mostly explained by the fact that we drive less. I guess people had fewer cars and drove less in the 1930…

EDIT:

I found the stats: in 1930 you had 15.12 deaths per 100 million miles vehicle, in 2014 1.08. So the reduction is not 2.5x, but 15x!

Bad driving behavior exists everywhere, but in China it's much more common than in the US. Left turns from the extreme right lane (and vice versa), is another common thing you'll see. In my experience, the drivers in Beijing are better behaved than those in Qingdao. Lane changes without signals (while you're in the lane) are also really common.
A few people recommended clubhouse.io in this thread, so that might be one to look at.

They not only allowed it to pass, a disturbing number support it. The "Nothing to hide, nothing to fear" line has been rolled out in force, and if you express concern in public about this bill, you get suspicious looks. What sites are you visiting that you're so nervous about the government seeing? Some kind of terrorist or pedophile, are you? Then those same people will go home and download torrents of the latest movies, or watch them on their dodgy Kodi box, without a second thought. After all, that's not web browsing, and even if it is, it's not really like they're doing anything wrong, is it?

An AI's Take on Donald Trump
For the record: I do not think that drivers who prefer automatic gear box are somehow inferiour, everyone has its preferences. Just driving with the manual gear box car requires very specific additional skills and consensus in Europe is that these skills must be officially validated.
> but why such a preference for automatic?

American here. From experience driving both, automatic is just so much.. easier. This is especially true on steep grades; since you can keep one foot on the brake and one of the gas, you avoid any risk of lurching backwards from a stop and parallel parking becomes vastly easier.

>> sensors

More to the point, the sensors are either wired directly to the controller or data is retrieved over CAN. And there may not even be a spin-lock waiting for that data, data acquisition could very well be interrupt-driven.

The latency claim is totally unfounded, and anyone who has made use of an embedded platform (even as weak as PIC or Arduino) to collect data can see it as totally and utterly wrong.

Popular doesn't mean good. Check out modern pop music or American president (joke).

jQuery is ok for super simple sites, but modern interfaces becomes more and more interactive and complex. Attempts to organise some logic via imperative jQuery way usually turns into hell. So, first of all it isn't scalable.

Is there any way to mimic Zcash's z-addresses in Bitcoin?

I like the ideas behind Zcash and it solves important privacy issues, but I don't like the idea of a for profit company being the heavyweight behind Zcash.

From what I gather, Bitcoin is more of a community effort than most other altcoins, which inspires trust.

I looked up Zcash's price chart, it fell from ~$1300 at launch to ~$90 now. Ouch.
FTA: "On its face, the lobbyist ban appears stringent, but it could be easily skirted if a lobbyist were to deregister to be eligible to join the administration. One sign indicates that it may already be happening: A close aide to Pence who is a Washington lobbyist, Josh Pitcock, filed paperwork with the Senate on Monday to terminate his status as a federal lobbyist."

In other words, this is meaningless for people being hired into the administration, and of course they can become lobbyists again after they leave government service.
Not sure if you're joking but given the context ("pen and paper") I'm pretty sure parent meant physical paper.
Sorry, I read it as protecting their policy

Not likely to become a law either. Many congresspersons have an excellent backup plan in becoming a well-connected lobbyist if they are ever voted out of office. They are not likely to vote that away from themselves.
As someone entirely unfamiliar, why only six? If the weakness is all of them colluding, then wouldn't adding anybody in the world (let's say, me) as a seventh make it strictly better?
Please block as many services as possible in Russia, it will motivate our people to change government (by force, maybe) faster.
Just as a data point, I found the example perfectly clear, although I do wish you had added Monero instead of Zcash, just because it looks more legitimate to my uninformed eyes.
> In Python, a function can erroneously return None.

If it hurts stop doing it. I can think of several ways to solve this ambiguity. Off the top of my head:

1. Create a custom class to represent your data's 'None' and treat the real 'None' as an error.

2. Stick to a fairly reasonable convention that all functions and methods are terminated with a single return statement. This would make it pretty hard to get bitten by the implicit None (which has never actually bitten me in the real world)

We tried that. Now we have President-elect Donald Trump and a wave of hate crimes.
For the record, I am more than happy to use Apple's web components. WebKit is great. They just need to open the APIs more. Like WebKit on macOS. Then we can actually build competing browsers and do more innovative things.

The WebKit team is great. Look at all the web standards being worked on. Look at the ES6 progress. They are pushing the state of the web forward on iOS.

Now put some of that same energy in WKWebView. Open it up. We need more than just loadURL()

As a UK resident, this irks me beyond belief. It's a sickening invasion of human rights[1]. To echo u/rubberstamps sentiments, it's such that there's been little to no coverage of this in the media.

But it's the same everywhere, introduce an encroaching bill, have uproar from those with the heads screwed on (the minority). Let it grow a little stale in the publics eye and keep reintroducing with slight alterations it until it passes into law.

There's a definite sense of helplessness and hopelessness when approaching the subject with the public. Even within IT there's a sense of 'who cares'. I had a conversation about it just last weekend. I asked for my roommates phone so I could look at all his emails, sms, etc. He gave it to me and said he doesn't care.

How do those who want to maintain privacy reach out to people and let them know it's not OK? Because this is not OK.

Anyway - off to study journalism.

> this is a legitimate reason, I think, for conservatives to be skeptical of the motivations and reasoning here in such a politically-fraught topic.

It is a legitimate reason to be skeptical, but not a very interesting starting point for a discussion if one side isn't even interested in rigorously studying the subject at all. There's a vast knowledge gap between the two sides.

> Secondly, redefining words with existing meanings is a bad idea that only leads to confusion.

In the case of racism it's not clear which definition came first. In the case of sexism, the situation is clearer: the academic, feminist definition came first, and has indeed been continually misinterpreted.

> I think it is disingenuous to blame the public for "misinterpreting" what is meant by "racism" in this context

I'm not blaming the public for the misunderstanding at all, but many people are actively hostile to even trying to understand the more well-researched point of view, so I'm not sure you can blame the academics, either.

After all, people who have not studied psychology, sociology, anthropology or history find it hard to accept how social dynamics and prejudice work through them without them being aware of it, just as it took 300 years for people to accept that some disease is caused by invisible microbes. Sadly, we do not yet have a simple, self-evident experiment like Pasteur's to demonstrate the existence of racism (and even after Pasteur's experiments, it took a couple of more decades for most people to become convinced). So you cannot deny the active resistance to the idea.
The Cologne V6 was a truck engine designed in the 1960s with a 5500rpm redline. Which are all good reasons why it made no power. The reason it was used in the Mustang after so many years was for cost/marketing reasons that had little to do with engineering.

If your friend instead had a 2011+ Mustang V6, it would have a modern(ish) engine making 305hp out of 3.7L on 87 octane, where the 2GR in the IS350 needs premium gas to make 306hp.

Probably because chances of zcash becoming popular is very slim, chances of zclassic becoming popular is even slimmer.

Personally I find the whole idea of zclassic a bit disappointing. Some people spent a lot of time and effort on to something which cost a lot of money. They're giving it away for free and people have a problem with them making money off it.
The comment was pointing out a specific example about how an AI miscategorized something because of a small sample-size in data, something that has been shown to be often the result of unintended biases in the training set, and you say that we're just talking about "gender identities"??

This is the kind of thing AI researchers write papers on (source: AI MSc), not some SJW topic, yet you saw the word "gender" and assumed it didn't belong?

Having tested Firefox Focus for a week already, I'm more aware of little browsing I do that actually requires a "logged in" browser. Having easy, ephemeral browsing sessions by default is pretty nice. I hope we can get similar functionality on Firefox desktop using tab containers.
Absolutely, and we did this in fact in some of our code. But at that point you're solving the problem with types, which is my point. And it involves a pattern, not something that's enforced across a codebase.
