That pitch is great, if rarely seen.

My job entails emergencies from time to time, and it's rewarding to solve an issue at the customer, before it gets out of hand, while still solving problem on the long-term roadmap during the day.

What I do regret is the complete lack of remote, meaning I will pretty much leave this job soon, as my fiancée is currently living on the other side of the planet.

It's great to see companies that do care for employees well-being in other ways than office perks, and I'd love to see more of that in the future. Are you still looking for applicants?
That seems like an answer to a different question. All of Apple's output is not a single engineering project.
> Second, Opendoor explicitly charges sellers for having replaced total uncertainty with a bank wire: not just the same 6% that typically goes for buyer and seller agent fees, but also an additional 0-6% for “market risk” — i.e. dealing with the uncertainty of actually showing and selling the house — along with the aforementioned repair costs.

So basically, the seller is guaranteed to lose 6-12% (on average 8%) of the value of their home even before receiving a paycheck. Why can't OpenDoor start low, instead of starting high and waiting for economies of scale? I just don't see the marginal benefits worth the extra costs, and am not sure how OpenDoor can stay competitive enough with those rates.

> To succeed, it has to price the homes it buys accurately, without seeing them, and it has to sell them quickly to minimize the costs of carrying them.

I feel like if the people behind OpenDoor can do this, then they can do day-trading or at least an index fund. (Yeah I know, stocks are more volatile and housing is pretty much guaranteed to rise.)

> for too long too much money and talent has been poured into low-risk digital-only businesses

What? Isn't there hardware startups?

Ok overall, I think I'm being a bit too critical on this company because all I see is house-flipping disguised as "theoretical arbitrage opportunity". I'd rather see a new company solve the housing crisis in San Francisco and New York.

Actually, it can easily be achieved by following REST strictly, especially the part where the key part of REST API design is selecting resources and designing appropriate representations for the intended use.

"REST" as consistently and independent of use case a trivial CRUD layer over base tables is...well, almost as from actual REST as the JSON-based RPC over HTTP version of "REST".
Please please please get rid of the emoji.
We used to receive inbound from sites like Ziprecruiter and Indeed. Now I'm using the Stackoverflow Talent service to search for applicants that fit our requirements. I don't start conversations with more than 1 or 2 at the same time, so I don't really need an additional tool to manage them.
Sounds like you have been dealing with older gear. Zero handoff is a deprecated feature which is no longer supported in current products. Nowadays Ubiquiti simply recommends roaming:

Yeah I have a Mikrotik manages switch and Ubiquiti router. The Mikrotik UI feels like I can do absolutely crazy stuff but I can't figure out how. Ubiquiti can do the same stuff but is a little more reserved in how many knobs and options it shows you. Both are great hardware, but different bends - Mikrotik is "here is everything you could ever com figure out what you want" while Ubiquiti is "with great power comes responsibility."

I like both a lot, but I think Ubiquiti has the edge if I had to choose.
I have done this same, rolling my own. We copied a popular public API, LinkedIn I believe. We called it "api selectors".
What would you recommend for a similar configuration as the OP's?

I've ended up using pfSense combined with enterprise switches and ultra-dumb access points with 802.11Q support to simply - as transparently as possible - bring the wireless devices into the network administration fold.

I've taken to using the higher end TP-Link AC routers as my APs, but have played with Ubiquiti instead as well.

I have a Ubiquiti setup for WiFi at home (though not as complex as in the blog post - just an EdgeRouter X and UniFi AC Lite). It has never gone down once, and performance is the same as on day 1:

How how have you come to know this?
How did you get into doing scraping contracts? I often write web automation scripts and scrapers for gathering research data, but have never figured out a way to get contact work.
I've had classmates pass away. The school would then run counseling sessions for those who wanted it. It wasn't to talk about how the classmate passed away, but to talk about how to accept this and manage it.

When a person close to you dies, you likely want some of these services.

Now, I don't think we should be talking about how these cases happen (because of what you bring up). But people close to the situation do get affected. They hear about it outside the news, and might personally know the person. They deserve help.
There are obviously still unsolved problems in ML. But Facebook has billions of dollars. It isn't that they couldn't solve the problem if they wanted to. Yet they haven't.
try changing your card's expiration date to an expired date, this has worked for me in other situations like this
This guy speaks like he used to introduce Apple's products or something. Come on dude, this stuff ain't easy! Try introducing successors to the Mac. That was some genius work right there ;-)
> Typically, I use a wiki with lots of links, and copies of any custom scripts I made, but it's not a comprehensive solution, and possibly error-prone.

I've done the same for far too many projects, both existing and green field, and always ran into the same issues:

- manual sync (even if reporting is scripted) of every detail, info always ends up stale and often causes more issues from someone inevitably following it as a reference.

- additional overhead and maintenance, tied closely to the point above.

- stale / unaccessible links (file server accounts, etc...)

- change history and supporting multiple versions / environments in parallel

I've come to the personal conclusion that it's easier and faster to bite the bullet and spend the time on your build and deployment steps, with the points you listed in mind.

With a Jenkins server, you could create a project that simply watches your current build directory and creates a new Build with its own Version Number, and a single archive as a Build Artifact containing your changes, including the current versions of your config files, required packages, setup scripts, and possibly a current snapshot of any relevant documentation.

This gives you visibility of exactly what was contained and possibly run (if your setup/update is scripted) for each deployment / update you perform.

You can build on this over time until it contains all the info you require about a particular snapshot of your stack.

Next, you can build a list of your servers (and environments) and track which Build from Jenkins you've installed to each.

(I believe Jenkins has plugins for that, but could be tracked elsewhere)
If you write your javascript in a way that is easy for V8 to JIT, then I think you'll benefit most from progressive enhancements made in the underlying engine. There's a lot of talks and articles on V8 performance, for example:

http://mrale.ph/v8/resources.html

Surprisingly, very boring, predictably shaped prototypey classes written in the "hidden classes" style they prescribe will JIT compile amazingly well. I think a lot of the fancy uses of JavaScript to roll types with mixins and traits or simply to sidestep needing the 'new' keyword to instantiate objects miss out on lots of performance benefits on V8.

Honestly, where does all the hate for 'new' come from? Prototypey classes work fine once you understand how to roll them/extend them, and 'new' is a real keyword in the language, what's to hate?
You are mistaken. The only new syntax ES7 added was the exponentiation operator. async-await was still in stage 3 at the time. It will be in ES2017 (ES8).
Sorry, can you provide examples of deeply nested result hierarchies that are expressed well with Rest?

Maybe they have cached their cachet.
I haven't been able to find any substantiated source for the $740M figure. All the other news sites cite an article on The Information[1] about the FitBit deal which is paywalled.

Can you provide standardized examples of REST's uniforms toy and discoverability?
Fortunes is not IO bound. Plaintext bench definitely is and node is around 8x slower than the fastest frameworks.

Node is nowhere near raw netty performance in most situations and will never be. Js is single threaded, dynamically typed, and doesn't have low enough level access to the OS. Netty has a native network IO interface on linux.

Node is pretty respectable but netty is basically the fastest thing there is unless you're doing C. It even uses native zero copy buffers with the ByteBuf implementation, something js doesn't (and cannot) do with its dynamic typing.

The JVM has had a much longer period of relentless optimization and the language was designed to be well optimized. Js will never escape the performance penalty of dynamic typing and other decisions without a rewrite
How embarrassing!
If that's all I wanted I can go to Dribbble or Behance. Was genuinely curious...
That's not gonna happen on HN, nor would we want it to. For one thing, there are different kinds of negativity; for another, suppressing the negative is no reliable path to the positive; for a third, the community wouldn't trust us if we ran this place that way.

Uber isn't a YC company.

They're not so great at fixes and adding features. I much prefer 1Password's interface to anyone else's, especially on Mac.

It took them a year to fix the metadata privacy issue with Android Dropbox sync, despite many asking in forum.

They recently added a TOTP generator. Years ago they talked of adding Yubikey, now they seem to dislike the idea of Yubikey or any 2FA. That seems odd.
I'm sure you're right, just meant to explain the connection between Nash & Curry.

Hm, that's unfortunate.
I agree with you, finding jobs for ~50 of the 120 employees is better than firing 110 of them.

The investors aren't getting their money back no matter what the cap table looks like now. Pebble went bankrupt. The founders are also walking away with nothing. No money from selling the company but also no debt - that's the benefit of limited liability.
Let me ask a question of everyone complaining: why not use Lyft? I switched.

Yeah, their prices are a little more than uber's, and their wait times are a bit higher, but these are functions of scale.
DNS Server Recommendations?
I am curious about how the morale within the Mac group must be. In an alternate universe the last iPhone would have ditched Lightning for USB-C, and Skylake MacBook Pros similar to the ones just released ones would have come out two or three quarters ago instead.

While it's okay if not everyone at Apple is interested in the MacBook Pros, the people designing them have to be disheartened by the reactions. Decisions to put off this release for so long seems like it must have been a strategic one made outside of the group which probably wanted to ship a Skylake MacBook Pro a long time ago.

Imagine (over-)simplified analysis that showed customers keeping their machines for an average of three years, or four product generations that were each about three quarters long. If Apple changed the time between generations to six quarters, then they would have retooling costs for only two cohorts of customers rather than four, and it would also get economies of scale similar to having twice as many customers buying each release.

Now imagine that suitable Kaby Lake CPUs with Iris graphics turned out to much further off in the future than originally expected, and Apple ended up deciding they had to release a Skylake MacBook Pro rather than being able to skip the microarchitecture.

So they do, but it's later than it might have been, and there end up being some issues that make it seem like it was designed and released quickly rather than like it had been refined even more than usual. And, on top of it all, the difficult, but ultimately beneficial, transition to all USB-C everywhere ends up being needlessly antagonizing to customers due to a cheap decision not to toss free legacy adapters and free USB-C/Lighting cables in the box of every new MacBook Pro.
In your opinion what does it mean to know JavaScript?

What does something like this mean: "GraphQL will replace REST in the same way MongoDB replaced PostgreSQL"
Ansible handles applying configuration and settings. Configuration and settings are stored in a git repo and symlinked wherever necessary. I wrote a zsh function (that I'm reminded to invoke once daily) that handles any updates, including pulling repo changes and anything else Ansible thinks it needs to do. Has been working well for me for quite some time.

That talk is entirely baseless fear mongering. Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is entirely unsupported by the science.
That's just not true. With SSD's and cheap ram less time than ever is spent waiting on IO. Almost everything these days is CPU bound and it's only going to go more in that direction as the speed disparity between storage and memory shrinks
I'm working on a non-trivial app with this in the stack (React, Relay, PostGraphQL, PostgreSQL). I'm a big fan. The author, @calebmer, is a great guy to work with also.

My Chrome is only using 200 MB + ~100 MB per tab, depending on the page size. It's a lot, but not a constraining amount.
The truth, at least the part of it that you can see for yourself. You freely admit that you don't know if there even are actually audit logs, or if the measures in place are simply big warnings (that have no teeth behind them). Even if there are audit logs, they're useless if there's no system in place that flags suspicious use for a human to check up on... or lacking that, someone whose job it is to regularly read through the audit logs and verify that each access of personal info is legit. You seem like an ethical person, so you're unlikely to find out if there are consequences to looking at customer data without good reason, so you don't know what -- if anything -- is triggered if you click on something sensitive.

I know you want to believe that what you're saying is true, but it sounds like you have no hard evidence to back that up to yourself, let alone evidence you can present to someone outside such as the HN readers reading this thread.

You may trust that Uber takes the security of customer info seriously, but from the outside we have no frame of reference, except for reports of past wrong-doing. A statement to the effect of "it was bad in the past but it's better now" unfortunately isn't all that reassuring, and I hope you can see it from our side of the fence and understand why.
I would tell those 2 guys to build this out including parts that should be there but they need the data, etc, targeting it as a value-add service that Disney can sell to ESPN subscribers. Done properly with multiple sports over multiple years and consistent annotations, I would think sports fans would go nuts over this, wouldn't they? (Any sports fans here?) Like, think of the ability to jump immediately to the video of most any noteworthy event in a sports event in recent history - "hey, remember that time PlayerX did that funny fake tag out to PlayerY? Hey let's pull that up and watch it, grab this slider you can move it back and forth to see exactly how he pulled off that trick, hahaha awesome".

I think Disney has plenty enough in-house talent and they're usually pretty forward thinking, it's surprising they haven't done something along these lines.
But most of those resources are static and cacheable.
If you're getting a single video card, or one for calculation and one just to do video, make sure motherboard has 16 PCI-e rel3 lanes into the primary card, people are using z170 and z97. For 4 video cards, you want x99 mobo, newegg does a good job of standardizing different mfrs' specs e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132...

Other concerns: you want a full size cage, with the SSD drives all the way at the top, out of the way of the video cards (the largest Nvidia OEM 3 fan cards are almost 13" long, so there's going to be some Tetris if you want a lot of drives and video cards in there). Cooling critical, stuff the box with RAM and Xeon's or i7s.

This is a good tip: older Xeon servers, dual socket, can support good PCI bandwidth with 2 CPUs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12606481
The expression is "could not care less", meaning you're already caring the least possible amount.
Any reply would be good. Even if it's a pre-canned copy/paste. It answers the questions that comes up if you don't hear anything: "did my email not send properly?", "did they miss me?", "are they ignoring me on purpose?" etc.

It takes almost no effort, and shows that you care about the people around you. If someone came up to you and asked you in person, would you ignore them and keep walking?
It doesn't matter if you use React or not. If you infringe on any of facebook's patents and go after them, they can counter sue.
Things in our full stack (Python, React, Ansible/AWS, APIs), a focus on strong front end engineers that are interested in mentorship-type roles. There's a unique-ish role for someone to come help us solve remote office work (think piloting VR or new techs to enable me to work closely with someone 1,000 miles away but make it feel like they are 2 feet away). Focus on security/devops.

We may also need a strong lead for a new business unit, a role akin to 'founder lite' — you run a business unit with two others, you have your own burn rate, your own P&L, etc. The strongest skills someone can have for it are former founder experience (aka: broad experience doing lots of things, moving quickly, MVP, etc).

Single threading was not intentional. It's because they used js, now they're trying to sell it as a feature. They've tried to implement threading several times but it's a huge change to the V8 engine and js isn't designed for it.

Promises/async were needed to make the language usable because it's stuck on a single thread. The normal solution is to just use multiple threads and people have been doing g that for many years in other languages

I'm really sorry, if you email me I'll look into it. Jd@opendoor.com

Can't say it's common, but pricing every home perfectly is hard. From what I can measure, our NPS is 70 and we track complaints pretty closely. For offer competitiveness, we track metrics like the final selling prices of homes we buy vs our offers and for homes that get offers and sell later on the market. I'm confident we're competitive in aggregate, but individual cases can vary.

We buy hundreds of homes per month, so not very small "n" anymore either
Yes, but the problem with Dockerizing the Ubiquiti controllers (or at least the Unifi one - I haven't attempted with the others) is that the Java app requires MongoDB, and chooses to spin it up as a child process and treat it as an embedded database. Unless you're careful with volume mounting, restarting the Docker container will lose all your wireless connection info, forcing you to reset the AP to defaults or restore the Mongo instance from a backup.
Way to stand up for the little guy liberals, you are truly an inspiration to us all.
No it wouldn't. Average price of housing would stay the same.
