Error bars. Whenever I see a plot without them, I think someone is trying to pull a fast one. Some scientific fields (or quasi-scientific) fields use them much more than others.

Quick-and-dirty physicists' method of generating an error bar when dealing with number of events in an interval is to assume that Poisson counting statistics apply, and take the square root of the number of events.

Example: Two months ago we sold 400 units. Last month we sold 410 units. Should we celebrate?

Square root of 400 is 20. The change in sales is within the margin of error. Celebration would be premature.

ZALORA | Singapore | REMOTE, VISA

ZALORA is looking for DevOps engineers.

Automation and HA will be your main goals. You will use Nix/NixOS to glue together a stack of Go, Memcached, MySQL, PHP, Solr and more.

A code review is the deciding factor (you either send in an opensource project, or implement our coding task). After that we'll chat, call and optionally meet to sort out the details.

Apply at http://jobs.engineering.zalora.com/apply/lOd9Ir. Other positions (frontend, backend, Android, iOS, to name a few) are also available at the same site.

Regarding phyto-estrogens, from what I've seen there are positives as well as negatives. What in particular puts you off them?

To anyone reading this who hasn't heard about phyto-estrogens, and thinks of estrogens as a female-only hormone, it should be noted that males have estrogen receptors too, and phyto-estrogens are part of vegetables widely accepted as being healthy, such as carrots, apples, lentils, oats, barley, etc...

I'm not sure what higher-level point the GP was trying to make[1], but I'm fairly sure they knew macOS doesn't run on mobile. Their implication is that were mobile devices included in the tally they would have contributed significantly to the denominator.

[1] I suspect it is that macOS + iOS would be a better numerator to pit against "Windows on all devices". However the GP having corrected themselves immediately means its not clear what the point is.

There's also the argument that wanting to reproduce is a natural human urge, and you're asking people to go against a very key biological instinct.

We haven't done all we can to protect the environment. We haven't even tried that hard. It might be easier to reduce our personal impact to 10% than try to reduce the world's population by the same level.
Use case that's pretty clear:

Many government websites provide a way to contact the government, either through address, email, or phone. An attacker can MITM the HTTP connection and replace that contact info with whatever they choose.

People place an incredibly high amount of trust in the government and what the government asks for, so every incoming call would have a >50% chance of resulting in complete and total identity theft.

If we've moved from opt-in to opt-out, what do you think is the next logical step in that path if not mandatory donation? And if the argument is that we should move to opt-out because "greater good", then what's the argument against mandatory donations?
His obtuseness point is that you know exactly what he means by protecting the planet, but you chose to interpret that phrase literally.
One benefit over simple token formats (e.g. using UUIDs as tokens) is that you are able to quickly invalidate the token, because you don't need to hit the database at all.

Second benefit is, at least for me, standardization.

MapD | San Francisco (city) | Backend Developer, Frontend Visualization Developer, Technical Marketing Director (ONSITE)

MapD (https://www.mapd.com) is a Google Ventures/Nvidia/Verizon Ventures/Vanedge/In-Q-Tel backed Series A startup that builds a lightning-fast GPU-accelerated database and visual analytics platform that takes advantage of the massive parallelism and high memory bandwidth of GPUs. We can literally run queries orders of magnitude faster than other systems (http://tech.marksblogg.com/billion-nyc-taxi-rides-nvidia-tes...) and since the results are on the GPUs, we can easily visualize the result sets with the native GPU rendering pipeline. Check out our Tweetmap demo (http://www.mapd.com/demos/tweetmap) or our billion-row taxi demo (http://www.mapd.com/demos/taxis) for an idea of what the system can do.

We’re looking for:

Backend Developer - Someone with strong experience in C++ and database/systems programming. Knowledge of CUDA/OpenCL, LLVM, X64 Optimization, and/or OpenGL a major plus.

Frontend Developer – Someone with strong knowledge of React/Redux. Ideal candidate has good design sense and a data visualization background.

Technical Marketing Director - Someone who can convey the technical value of our product via our website, blog, documentation, tutorials, demo videos, etc.

We’re a growing Series A company (~30 people) with deep knowledge of databases and GPU Programming. Benefits and equity are competitive ($115K-$170K / 0.2+%).

Please email jobs@mapd.com if you're interested!

Digital Recognition Network | Software Engineer | Ft Worth, REMOTE | REMOTE

Hello, reader of this job posting! Because you actually clicked into this, we’re going to assume you're a solid PHP developer, experienced with both the old (PEAR, Smarty, pre-OOP, pre-MVC) and the new (Laravel/Symfony, composer, PSR, etc).

Great! Now let’s talk about some of those as they relate to this position.

1. Big Data – DRN is the world leader in license plate recognition and currently has more than 5 billion (with a B) rows of license plate and geospatial data.

2. PHP – We love PHP. We know it has a bad reputation due to a long history of ugliness – and trust us when we say we have experienced it first-hand. However, it has matured greatly over the past few years and it has allowed us to rapidly prototype, develop, and deploy some amazing applications. We love Laravel and composer, and we have PHP 7 in production.

3. SQL – Yeah, it’s weird to have PHP connect to SQL Server. And as a PHP developer, you may not have the strongest grasp on SQL Server and all of its idiosyncrasies. But we’re available to help walk you through it.

4. Linux – Even though we run SQL server, our web servers are fully Ubuntu.

5. Remote – Let’s dispel with the myth that remote developers can kick their feet back and play Xbox. If you’ve spent any time working remotely, you know the challenges and determination it takes to make it work. We work hard from 8 to 5 and want a developer that will do the same without needless distractions.

6. Git – We do everything in git and have some great deployment workflows built around it.

7. Security – Stop here if you have no idea what the OWASP Top 10 is. If you aren’t familiar with how to secure your code against SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF, then we can’t bring you aboard.

What is DRN? Here’s a little spiel about us from our marketing department:

"DRN is the dominant provider of license plate recognition and vehicle location data to the automotive finance industry. DRN’s data is responsible for the recovery of more than 550,000 vehicles valued at $4 billion. With its position firmly established in the automotive finance market, DRN is now expanding into other markets including insurance, enterprise/government, and digital marketing industries."

Learn more about us at drndata.com.

If you’re interested, send us a link to your Github or Bitbucket profile along with your resume or equivalent. We can’t wait to talk to you!

Must be eligible to work in the U.S

Just from reading the summary, it feels like his joke had some strains of truth to it, and his fear of the impact of what it would mean to take that seriously caused him to frame it sarcastically instead.

I think that you're more right, to be honest. I'm a vegetarian myself, but in my current place of living veganism would be the most environmentally friendly. But if I lived elsewhere, maybe a different diet would be more beneficial.

Defining Done
It's just basic connection integrity -- without HTTPS, there's no guarantee the user is actually getting the content that the site meant to send, and vice versa. Those kind of attacks really do happen, and at scale (e.g. Verizon XUID, or China's Great Cannon).

If it's at all interesting, I laid out in detail, with examples, why I've been comfortable taking a very hard line on deprecating HTTP:

NIT: not carbon, but greenhouse gases. Specifically methane, which is 30x more potent a greenhouse gas.

(Note, I realize that methane contains a carbon, I'm just clarifying that many people thing CO2 when the word carbon is used.)
The problem is verification. As things are today, you have to verify that a person has registered as a donor. If they are and you can't confirm it then nothing happens as far as that person is concerned. In the new system if you can't confirm someone is a non-donor they'll take all your usable parts.

I propose a compromise where every person is "supposed" to register their preference one way or the other. That would probably increase the number of registered donors, and if you can't find someone in the database you don't assume a default choice for them.
I decided to go with Lektor in the end, since it's much easier to work with and good enough for my purposes for now. Plus, since I'm a Python dev, I can extend it much more easily.
As someone slowly converting to vegetarianism, I can say that I won't miss meat much. I actually prefer vegetarian by a long stretch already. I only eat meat now when there aren't good vegetarian options, which is slowly becoming less of a problem as more restaurants become aware of the increasing demand for vegetarian dishes.
To save you from the endless bla bla bla:

...concluded that one of the three composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) inside the second stage liquid oxygen (LOX) tank failed

...failure was likely due to the accumulation of oxygen between the COPV liner and overwrap in a void or a buckle in the liner, leading to ignition and the subsequent failure of the COPV.

.... corrective actions .. short term ... changing the COPV configuration to allow warmer temperature helium to be loaded ... long term, SpaceX will implement design changes to the COPVs to prevent buckles altogether

Next launch on January 8th.
This is a thorny issue.

On the one hand, we're weighting supernatural beliefs against real life-saving treatments. On the other hand, the backlash we can get from some religious people is just as real. God will never smite me, but his followers might.

More generally, I'd say this is not the right way to combat religion. There are reasons why we still have religions, some of them worth copying (helping your neighbour and such), some of them worth combating (such as fear and poverty). Going directly against he will of religious people is only going to get ugly.
What are the performance characteristics of HTTPS/TLS as compared to plain HTTP these days? (Serious question, I don't know.) You gloss over the overhead, but that may not be insignificant.

Every millisecond of latency counts for user engagement and bounce rate. Every round trip in the handshake hurts measurably. Particularly on slow cellular network connections, of course. It's quite possible that web sites exist where the performance penalty for TLS is worse for the business than simply running unsecured.

And anything with an ad network (or even other resources like web fonts) runs into the mixed-content problem. If the page is served over HTTPS, then so must every other asset be, or else the browser throws up warnings. And then you're dependent on every partner asset on the page to keep its own TLS certificates valid, or else you get browser warnings again and lose some amount of user engagement.

Security always has costs and tradeoffs.
Concern for future generations and people sacrificing for said generations will be key to saving the environment.
I'm not coming from any experience in this comment, but I'm wondering if AirBNB rentals will ever have such extra regulation since there are no long-hotel hallways, no fire-escapes, elevators, etc... simply because these are already residences - are we to suggest we need normal homes to be safer than they already are? If these places are "unsafe" in this regard, shouldn't it be improved whether or not they are being rented on a nightly basis?

How do you know? Have you ever been dead? Do you know any people who have died?

You don't know that either, unless you know the future. In this particular case, you can't rely on the past either.

In the old days protein shakes hadn't really come into the picture yet. The guys would eat eggs and hamburger patties, drink a lot of milk, your typical low-carb style diet.

Beef is the worst. Avoid ruminants because of their methane release (cow burps are 25x more potent a ghg than co2). Also look at the feed to weight ratio for animals, cows are like 6:1 whereas chicken is 1.5:1, and chicken don't release substantial methane. Pork is about 4:1. Rabbit is about 3:1 and has a very fast time to cull.

One thing we fail to consider when talking about automation is that, at the higher end, tasks are complex and (man+machine) is much much better than machine alone. Further, the time-growth of (man+machine) will asymptotically dominate (machine). This will mean people with newer skills to master (man+machine) will be hired rather than jobs just going away. So predicting a particular job going away is a futile exercise at the higher end. The lower end is different, jobs there are simple enough to fully be automated away.
