Normally, I create a pull request using the server response from git on the command line - Bitbucket replies with a URL to create a PR. In fact I have a git alias, 'git gone', which pushes, parses the response looking for the URL and launches it in my browser.

Per-developer repos are definitely an anti-pattern for Bitbucket usage. They just don't work well; it's all too easy to have a half-dozen slightly different versions of a branch in different people's repositories. It's generally better to use your local repo for your personal branches, and use a single repo on Bitbucket for team interaction. There's definitely a risk of data loss if it's not otherwise backed up, of course.

My personal bugbears are mostly relating to Jira. It needs a better mechanism for integrating estimated & actual numbers for predicting velocity. The only mechanism it natively supports is story points, and it's not enough. You often want to break down stories, but the hierarchy really doesn't work well. You can't put numbers on a finer granularity than stories.

It also doesn't work at a higher level, when developing a road map. It's just kind of stuck in the middle.
its not a "higher VAT" threshold, you do not have to register for or charge VAT at all if your business earns less than £85,000 (you might want to if you pay out a lot of VAT though). This is unusual in the EU, most countries do not have this exemption I don't think.
I thought I addressed that in a couple of different ways, but no I didn't forget.

I'm not saying that TLS doesn't have benefits. I'm just saying that a blanket policy is a bad idea for the US Government. If the policy for secure connectivity was "support-but-don't require" or "make your best effort to support" it would make more sense to me.

Some of the things you'd be working on:

- Mapping and indexing the world's healthcare data: figuring out where it lives and how to retrieve it
- Scaling and optimizing our APIs
- Modelling human health
- Building our ingestion pipeline
- Data engineering and building tools for data science - NLP and Classification
- Extracting healthcare data from a wide variety of unstructured, unclean formats
- Building intuitive UIs to allow users to find and share their health data

I graduated university. Since then I have been unable to find anything. I did have a 2-month contract with a startup, where I worked with Node.js.
Does this actually happen? I see this concern mentioned several times here, but always as a hypothetical. Has there been any research done to see if donors do indeed receive inferior care?
> Now that's a different question. While having access to the certificates is no problem at all, being able to create a new certificate for an arbitrary website allows one to pretend to be that website. The only defense against it is that, if a CA is caught issuing these certificates, it risks being removed from the browser's trust lists, which is a death penalty for a CA's business. Also, there is a new initiative (Certificate Transparency) to make it easier for these certificates to be caught.

There is a defense against rogue CAs: HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) [0]. Chrome, Firefox et al use a HPKP preload list, but unlike with Strict Transport Security (HSTS) there currently appears to be no way to submit one's own site for inclusion in the preload lists. See e.g. Mozilla's policy [1].

One may register for cryonics, and still donate organs.

I'm not sure I need my heart, kidneys etc. for future reconstruction. Important information might be located in the gut, but I'm sure we can extract many organs without touching those neurons.

Even then, I may be willing to sacrifice my hope of resuscitation to save lives today. And that's if I even bother registering for cryonics —as tempting as it is.
Terminix Year 2016 in Review
Internet is fine. The Canaries are a staging point for several transatlantic fibres. There is also an extremely active astrophysics group on both Tenerife and La Palma who shunt a lot of data around the world. You'll pay more for it, but that's because Spanish telcos are a monopoly. You might not get 100Mbit, but certainly 20M+ is normal.

Tourism isn't really a problem because the tourists stick to the resorts. The upside of a flourishing tourist industry is that you can get dirt cheap flights from all over Europe.

I've spent a lot of time in Tenerife. Santa Cruz, in the North, is a lovely city. The weather is pleasant all year round, beaches nearby, the people are friendly and the food is excellent. Accommodation is cheap and readily (and informally) available, prices are generally lower than mainland Spain so for most Westerners the cost of living is low. Most amenities are there - you've got a cinema, large supermarkets, big brand stores and so on. Getting things online may take a bit longer, I missed Amazon Prime.

You will almost certainly need a car if you plan on doing any kind of travel around the islands. Gas is about the same as most of Europe, perhaps a little lower.

The main downside for foreigners is that outside of the resorts fewer people speak English, but Spanish is easy enough to learn. There is a large ex pat community, though they tend to concentrate in the resorts for obvious reasons.

(Also Carnivals are great! Don't listen to the person who said otherwise. They run for a week or two every year, everyone dresses up, gets drunk and pees wherever they can.)

If I could work anywhere? Well, in the middle of the countryside miles away from absolutely anything. Always preferred rural life to city life. It'd probably be much cheaper in regards to prices and rent too.

I honestly don't care what country, so long as it's at least relatively modern in its conveniences and isn't a dictatorship of some kind.

While if you consider that human achieves intelligence through a lot of supervision(homework and exams) too, I won't go directly to disclaim only unsupervised learning can be hailed as the king.

In fact, there is a discussion about the definition of unsupervised learning, because of the emergence of techniques like word2vec, where it essentially supervised learning but construct all its tasks from the data itself without any labelling.

I worked for 8 years in research, mostly turning research prototypes into usable web products. My most common role was to manage offshore development teams and rescue projects that had gone astray. Unlike many programmers, I can talk to (and listen to) customers, develop wireframes and look beyond the list of cool features to see the bigger picture of making a usable product.

Bottom line: I can help make a successful product.
No idea.

Scalyr | San Mateo, CA (ONSITE)

Frontend Engineer: $125-160K, >=0.3% equity

Agent Engineer | $125-160K, >=0.3% equity

"Agent Engineer" sounds like something from Person Of Interest, but actually you'll own our lean, mean data collection agent. An ops visibility tool is only as good as the data it collects, and we pride ourselves on gathering everything from logs to system metrics to application metrics to API data. If you enjoy constantly getting to play with new tools, come help us connect to... everything. You'll get to play with packages from Apache to Zookeeper, APIs from AWS to, er, Azure, while tackling challenges such as monitoring 100,000+ simultaneous log files using minimal CPU.

Frontend Engineer: we earn our keep by giving users unprecedentedly fast and easy tools for exploring vast amounts of operational data. That starts with our unique backend query engine, but it doesn't mean anything without an equally amazing frontend. We're building a brand-new web app that adds features while removing complexity, all with an eye to performance. As a ground-up rewrite, there's lots of opportunity for you to have a significant impact. If you care about user experience, enjoy great engineering, and want to join an experienced team where you can really stretch yourself, we'd love to hear from you.

At Scalyr, we've built a log analysis and ops visibility tool that our users rave about, because it smashes expectations for performance and ease of use. We offer the equity, influence, and fun of an early-stage company, with stability, great pay, and a low-stress culture. We have great backers, strong traction, and an 11-digit target market. I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say this is my favorite so far.

What are your like and dislikes about NYC?
It is not popular to say this, but if you really want to protect the environment, you should consider not having kids.

Especially if you're doing well because the chances are your kid will grow up and drive for most of his life, fly in planes, obtain lots of stuff that requires CO2 emission in its production, and perhaps even consume meat. If you have multiple kids and they go on to have more kids etc, the environmental effect of having a kid becomes exponentially worse.

This doesn't mean that you don't deserve to be a parent, it is only natural to desire to be one. The closest orphanage will have many kids who are wishing for a warm home every day of the year. There are many impoverished and brilliant kids around the world who will live and die working under horrific conditions.

Now there is an argument to be made about you and your partner's genes being so exceptional that it would be more harmful to the society not to pass them to future generations. I guess it is up to the individual to make that judgement.

Our software stack is built around Linux, Ruby, Go, Node.JS, Redis, MySQL, Git, Puppet and Ansible.

Our standard interview process is pretty straightforward: two Skype interviews and a half-day onsite technical interview covering real-world problems we've experienced (https://blog.pusher.com/heres-what-i-learned-from-3-months-o...), with travel and accommodation expenses paid.

We are currently hiring:

- Software Engineers: https://pusher.workable.com/jobs/346844

ActionIQ | New York City (Union Square) | Fullstack Engineers | Full-time | ONSITE |

We're a fast growing enterprise startup in the big data space focused on improving the efficiency and lives of marketers and their entire team by building a beautiful interactive and intuitive interface that abstracts away all the messiness of data and databases.
As a fullstack engineer you'll work very closely with product and UX to keep our product exciting and innovative. You'll be given tons of responsibility and ownership of projects that span from UI widgets and completely new views to implementing and designing APIs. Since our team is still small there is still time to define how we build software and we expect that you will make a big impact on those decisions. We are fully invested in React on the frontend and Scala on the backend (but no Scala experience needed).

You can find more about us on our website http://actioniq.com or read a couple of our blogs about what we've been working on: http://www.actioniq.co/blog/

Maybe we should be asking why some industries are heavily taxed and others are not
We naively started with JWT for auth, and gleefully ripped it out after several months because of all of its cons.

1. Overall, no net benefit. We still had to query a k/v store on every action to check that the token wasn't revoked.

2. Less secure because there's no way to make it act like an HTTP-only cookie (no access from JS).

3. No way to revoke all of one user's tokens because there is no list of those tokens. We want to limit (or be aware of) the number of active logins and let the user sign out from all locations (as you can in Gmail). If the token is only stored on the client, there's no way to do this. You could store a list of all granted tokens and only use it for these revocations, but that's yet another level of complexity. (When we dropped JWT, the diff was -1200+95 LOC because we had to handle a lot of scenarios like this.)

4. Adding tokens to client-side requests is a pain. The common example for e.g. Angular is to use an HTTP interceptor to add a header. More code, but it works... Except for img and a (anchor/link) elements where you can't add a header. So you put the token in the URL query instead, and now you're vulnerable to session leaking if a user shares a URL with someone else. And you have to manually update those embedded tokens when they expire, as many JWT folks recommend you make the expiry short.

Good riddance.
It couldn't. That would mean a different thing and would be the abuse of what XML should be used for.

Whether something is inside an element or is a property of said element has important semantical meaning. But not just that, with XML you can implicitly represent ordering, whitespace and type information with much less boilerplate.

So the argument for JSON is basically boils down to: "Javascript has horrible type support and doesn't support OOP. JSON models that experience better."
"Loaded language" makes it sound like these are fully legitimate businesses on the receiving end of undue criticism. But then you point out how these businesses are operating in the same market, but avoiding the market regulation, almost as though they are operating in a quasi-illegal state.

Why do you believe the regulation of these markets is particularly onerous? Can you provide some specific examples?
Useful info, thanks. I can relate to the noise being an issue, since I've stayed in such places for short periods (hotels in tourist areas).
There are several floors that have "real" action. A couple of the options pits that are truly specialist and the CBOE VIX pits for instance come to mind.

The Irrational User?
> If I'm looking at a congressman's voting history, is there a real benefit to that data being transmitted via an https session vs. http?

Yes.

Say you're a fan of Party A, and you'd like to find out whether your congressman voted the way that you like on some issue. Wouldn't it be a shame if your ISP was a fan of Party B, and tweaked the page in-flight to show you the voting results that you were hoping for, instead of what really happened? Or if some other organization found a way to inject some JS into the page to do that? For that matter, maybe Party A did it because they wanted hide a vote he had to make that they know might anger his supporters, but they'd rather have another Party A guy in Congress, even if he isn't perfect, than risk losing the seat to Party B.

Think all of that is paranoid nonsense? Well, pretty equivalent accusations have been thrown around in this election cycle by both sides, many by very mainstream organizations. I don't know that anything like this has happened, but it doesn't seem quite so crazy these days to say that it very well could.
