Shoot me an introduction if you live in the Dallas area and are interested- dougwatson @ adt dot com.
Please don't copy and paste comments that appear elsewhere in the thread (and especially not as an end-run around moderation, if that happens to be why you did it). We have nested threads here so people can reply to what they read directly.

The issue isn't brevity, but the toxicity that I described in my comment. I'm not sure I can describe it any better than that.
Seconding this. This would be more useful than Amazon reviews even. When I see something on Amazon, I'm not even sure if there is a forum/subreddit somewhere where this product category is discussed.

P.S: On second thought, laptops are a good manageable product to start with, then add Cameras and so on.

The working poor are a revenue source. By keeping people indebted, they remain predictable consumers and fixed-income assets, like a human bond.

The impoverished are effectively trapped by the welfare system itself, because it reduces benefits as incomes rise at a faster rate than can be made up by the equivalent amount of work. If the minimum wage was a living wage, like in Australia, then this wouldn't be a problem. But instead American welfare/min-wage clearly incentivizes staying just poor enough to keep getting benefits, or else you are actively making yourself poorer by working more.

This is why so many Walmart employees are on food stamps.
Ouch, that sucks. Haven't heard about those and haven't seen them yet.

This has been hitting my site with increasing frequency, and I finally found a solution [1]. I'm surprised this Medium article only describes the problem, not any of the various solutions. I tried various filters based on source, but that just ends up being whack-a-mole. I also didn't want to filter all reddit traffic (that started yesterday) since we actually do get legit referrals from there sometimes. Hope this helps others who are dealing with the same issue!

My theory, people feel busy because of stress/anxiety. Not necessarily the level requiring intervention, but just low level stress.

You have a bunch of tasks to finish this week at work. You get them all done, and properly accounted you realize they only took 30 of your 40 work hours. But you feel like you've spent much more time on it. You have, you've been thinking about it. Thinking about what to do next while you're going for your coffee break makes it not a break (mentally). This is why GTD suggests you get things out of your head. Once your tasks are captured, then you can focus on the doing and not the planning to do. You can also see the true scope instead of the anxiety magnified scope ("oh god, this'll take me ages", stress, stress, get to the time, it takes 10 minutes).

I understand this criticism and would love to see a more accessible version of PH find success, but exposure is in its very essence extremely non-democratic. Very few have the time or desire to check out even a tiny fraction of the thousands of new products that are created every day. People rely on filters, and those filters are always going to require some sort of barrier to access that leaves out many, many more than it features.
If you've been enjoying Gergel, definitely give Ignition! a read, also a Lowe recommendation. It's a first-hand account of early rocket fuel research, and it is hair-raising like no chemistry I have ever heard of.

Yeah, i don't have the feeling that they will ever even consider open-sourcing non-crucial (from the business perspective) components. There is much to be gained by working together on Computer Vision for example, just compare the german automotive industries approach to ML to something like googles.
> Food delivery is great because the full order value can be taken as the top line revenue. If someone orders a £80 meal for four, that's another £80 to add to your top line even though your net revenues were ~£8, if that.

I don't really understand this. Shouldn't the £80 be something akin of gross merchandise volume? What you described seems borderline fraud to me.

Academia.edu | Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Onsite

Academia.edu is addressing two problems:

- Open access. The goal here is to put every academic pdf ever written on the internet, available for free.
- The reproducibility crisis. It has emerged over the last few years that 65-90% of the scientific literature is not reproducible. What this means is that if you try to reproduce the experiments described in a paper, 65-90% of the time you will not get the same findings. This is known as "the reproducibility crisis"

With regard to open access, Academia allows academics to upload papers to Academia, and make them freely available. Academics have uploaded about 14 million pdfs to Academia.edu, and upload about 1 million a month. About 30 million people come to Academia each month to access and share papers.

With regard to reproducibility, we think the way to solve the reproducibility crisis is to build a new peer review system that (a) crowd-sources peer review from the academic community and (b) provides credit to material that journals don't publish (data-sets, code, replications, failed replications).

Academia has built a recommendation system which is the basis of our approach to (a) and (b). We realize that addressing reproducibility is a huge challenge. We need mission-driven engineers to come and help us. We have raised $28 million from Tencent, Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."

We are looking to hire full stack software engineers. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, React. Our office is in downtown San Francisco.

Well, why not? With modern 3d printers this is definitely possible. Oh, some will be veeeerry funky looking, for sure (not from printing process; from design), but that might just be more entertaining
You have more experience than I do in this area, but I am going to reply anyway in the belief that I can contribute some useful information to the discussion. First, there is a discussion of this here:

https://www.quora.com/How-is-FreeBSDs-network-stack-superior...

The main remark seems to be:

> The predominant difference is that the FreeBSD network stack was much more carefully designed. The Linux stack was less careful and thus is much more haphazard. Also, more work has been put into optimizing the FreeBSD stack.

It is not my area of expertise, but the Linux skbuf seems to fit the description of haphazard while the FreeBSD mbuf seems to fit the description of more carefully designed. The same could be said about epoll versus kqueue.

The remark about more work in optimizing the FreeBSD stack also seems to be true. While I cannot speak for everything in FreeBSD's network stack, I do know that FreeBSD's netmap far exceeded anything Linux could do at the time and while it is available on Linux, I never hear of it being used anywhere but on FreeBSD:

http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/

Development of FreeBSD's network stack had plenty of innovative things in development at the time Facebook's post was made:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/201405DevSummit/NetworkStack

That included additional contributions from a major network equipment vendor that had made many contributions throughout the years. If I checked the commit history, I imagine I would find performance work done by said vendor. From what I can tell, FreeBSD's network stack is improving regardless of whether the rest of us hear about it.

Lastly, there have been multiple things discovered to be wrong in the Linux network stack since that facebook job listing. Two prominent ones that I recall offhand are:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-story-of-one-latency-spike/

https://bitsup.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/thanks-google-tcp-tea...

They both could fall into the category of stability problems to which facebook had alluded. The second one more so though:

> The end result is that applications that oscillate between transmitting lots of data and then laying quiescent for a bit before returning to high rates of sending will transmit way too fast when returning to the sending state. This consequence of this is self induced packet loss along with retransmissions, wasted bandwidth, out of order packet delivery, and application level stalls.
Savvy investors do split this revenue into two buckets:

1. Gross merchandise volume (GMV), or what passes through the marketplace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_merchandise_volume

2. Fee revenue, which is what the marketplace actually retains

This knowledge is common among investors, like item #6 on http://a16z.com/2015/08/21/16-metrics/. It may not be common among, say, individual private wealth management clients of Morgan Stanley who funded their SPV (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/05/business/dealbook/deal-sho...), but they chose to invest without any revenue reporting at all, so it's probably not what made the difference.
Maybe I can't pitch a job right, this is a great position people.

No drama, no politics, easy team, no boneheads.

I want to make sure the team is productive and get out of the way.
"Software release: Series 30+"

Erm... utter crap.
Original S30/S40 was ok, but that mediatek crap is essentialy unusable.
It's not really uncovered, it's actively used and exploited. There are thousands of companies doing trend & sentiment analysis that use Reddit as one of the input. I've been paid to do it a couple of times.

Amazon's BAA allows you to use only approved services [1] to process, store, and transmit ePHI. The list isn't very long, it's currently just 10 AWS services, and it doesn't include some basic ones like SQS. RDS with PostgreSQL was just added to that list this week (Aurora was also added, which is neat because now that it has a PostgreSQL front-end, I have two reasons to play with it).

Personal characteristics may be irrelevant to the economics, but the comments you're responding to weren't about the economics.

Please don't get nasty, as in your last paragraph, when commenting here. It literally adds nothing except bile, and we need less of that.

Edit: your several comments in this thread smack of a vendetta. Schadenfreude is human, but I think it's fair to ask people not to go hog wild with it.
Because they had no significant revenue, didn't have anything personal to invest into it, and were in a community surrounded by investors. I agree, it doesn't make much sense.
Ask HN: How do you keep track of who is using your Staging Servers?
Hi.

I was curious what methods you are using to keep track of who is using what staging server. We use jira, but the alerts seem to fall into obscurity. I was thinking of adding a process where people add a comment to their deployments with a time stamp so if something is on the staging server for too long, we know that our QA is likely done testing it. We have 2 staging servers (we will create a few more this week) but there has got to be a better way than word of mouth and emails to keep track/sanity of this process.

Thanks
I can't see my original reply, so I think something is wrong with HN.

Reality is more like:

2 out of 10 monkeys spend all their waking hours sacrificing and working so their children can have more than 1 banana and then give 15 out of the 20 bananas they earn to the group.
The majority of monkeys in the group gives 0 bananas, but continue to say that the ones that do give the most aren't paying their fair share (and need to give even more).
They then have many discussions on how they can force the other monkeys to give the rest of the group even more bananas, rather than putting energy into earning their own.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you make a process dump of the entire process, that dump would include internal structures used to maintain its heap, no? If those structures change between OS versions, for example, then the process dump from an older version would represent corrupted heap when loaded on a newer version.

It seems that at least a few journalists at the top end of their profession do make "rich" level money, based on an article I seem to remember reading about one such journalist making over $200k and realizing he was out of touch with most people. But certainly it doesn't seem common.

Nebulous | Software Developer - Networking | Boston, MA | ONSITE, OPEN SOURCE | https://sia.tech/jobs

Nebulous | Business Operations | Boston, MA | ONSITE, INTERNS | https://sia.tech/jobs

We're a team of decentralization enthusiasts building a decentralized cloud storage platform. We take decentralization seriously - if we were to shut down tomorrow and disappear, service on our platform would not be interrupted. Website aside, users would likely not even notice.

We use smart contracts, erasure coding, and encryption to create a secure marketplace for cloud storage. Our platform is comparable to Amazon S3, except that the user is in full control of the data, and storage + bandwidth are offered at about 1/10th the price.

We're looking to expand our team to help us grow the userbase and to help us onboard enterprises. Sia is ultimately meant to be aimed at corporations more than consumers, and we're looking to expand further in that direction. We have a bare-minimum sales pipeline built, and we're looking for someone to build that out further and to walk corporations from first call to pilot to production deployment.

We are also looking for someone who can optimize the networking done by our software. There's a lot of obvious room for improvement in how the protocol transfers data + payments. The networking is trading money with untrusted and potentially malicious parties, which means that any protocol must be robust to adversarial interference. All coding will be done in golang. All of our code is MIT licensed.

If you are passionate about decentralization, you might find a home with us.
From a selfish perspective, I'm British and I work for an American company that pays me in dollars. A strong dollar coupled with the pound going down the toilet after the brexit vote means I'm quite a bit better off than this time last year.

Then I started college and it went up to 8, for some reason.

Recently I stopped drinking. I'm back to 6.
Also on Win 10 Anniversary onwards they are pushing more sandboxing in form of device guard and secure kernel.

Basically as a evolution of MinWin, there is now a micro-kernel for security critical code sandboxed via HyperV.

It's even an official RFC:

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt
In the past (before this week), if you were storing ePHI in RDS with PostgreSQL, you weren't following the terms of the BAA.
I explicitly asked for a direct link to the kernel source code. Because I never found that online. Your link is basically a pointer to the haystack.

My favorite bit of most of these articles his horrified read-through of the characterization. The list of drop tests and reaction descriptions that these lunatics are willing to try is always truly impressive.
