None of what you've said is incorrect. HTTP/2 over TLS is faster than HTTP/1.1 over SSL/TLS.

I referred to Troy's assertion that "HTTPS is faster than HTTP", which is at best an incomplete statement and to some people completely misleading.
Please correct me if my layperson's interpretation is wrong, but that IP clause is one of the few things I don't worry about in UK employment contracts. When I first came across the phrase "during the course of employment"[1] that they invariably use and researched it, I got the impression that it seems to have specific legal meaning of when you'd reasonably be considered to be 'working for' the company. At the place of work, on duty for them, using company equipment, etc.

There are much more egregious terms in most copy-paste contracts that you can helpfully point out to HR people if you're feeling helpful (or mean), including attempted rewrites of UK labour law (meaningless, it always takes precedence) or ceding rights, to more subtle things such as full-time jobs disguised as freelance contracts, putting you at risk if the taxman comes a-calling[3].

Scribd | San Francisco, CA | Senior Backend Engineer | VISA | ONSITE

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to re-imagine the way the world reads.

My team is looking for smart engineers to work on recommendations, search, and payments (no experience in these areas required). We are a small team which means you can have a ton of impact and bring in your own ideas. We work on an ambitious project to organize all the books in the world and use it to take book discovery to the next level.

Stack: Ruby on Rails (we are one of the largest Rails sites), Go, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, Spark (Scala). But we care way more about your personality and hacking skills than what languages you've used so far.

Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YC companies, probably more than from any other startup our size. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire.

If you have questions you can reach me at adrian at scribd.com (I'm the tech lead and happy to answer any question related to this role). Please apply directly via https://boards.greenhouse.io/scribd/jobs/76768. NB, we are also hiring for a lot of other positions: https://www.scribd.com/about/jobs.
AgariData | Raleigh NC | Full Time | Onsite | VISA | www.agari.com
Agari is solving the email phishing problem through a combination of Big Data based analytics and a next generation web application that provides visibility into every message that our customers (and bad guys) send. Our goal is to spread the DMARC standard and ensure no one gets their personal data stolen ever again. We like opinionated engineers who enjoy a healthy debate but can commit to a solution. We're AWS hosted and are working hard to automate away as many of the reactive and tedious aspects of development as possible. We've got a nice Scrum approach that empowers engineers to make their own decisions and look to improve with each sprint. Our stack includes Ember, RoR, Python and Spark as well as orchestration and automation via Packer, Consul, Terraform and Ansible.

OpenAI | San Francisco | Full Time, Onsite, Interns, Visa | https://openai.com

OpenAI’s mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible. We are building a team of researchers and engineers to make the defining breakthroughs in machine learning.

We care about what people will accomplish here much more than what they've already done: for any of our hiring criteria, demonstration of exceptional motivation and potential can overcome a lack of experience. We value personal development; we hire curious, highly-motivated individuals who look to grow in areas where they have not yet achieved mastery.

Our impact is greater than just publishing research papers. We build working systems. We try to empower and strengthen the AI research community, and collaborate freely. We publish our techniques, tools, and methods, and try to find creative approaches for how to improve the progress and impact of ML research.

We're currently hiring software engineers, machine learning researchers, machine learning interns, and a recruiting coordinator.

Programmer's Dvorak [dvp] user since 2009.

The first two weeks are a nightmare, you literally hear the gears in your brain turning in a direction they never knew they could turn.

Then the first 3-4 months are just hard and annoying.

After that it quickly becomes super nice. After a year, you look back at your QWERTY self and think "heh".

Do not give up. It's worth it.
Performance is a non-predictable good on macroscopic (application) scales.
That original post was a tad obtuse! Anyway yes this is the point: OS X (or macOS if I must) isn't perfect, but I have found it the best compromise for my purposes. I very rarely have to futz with it, it's unixy enough, and it has scads of truly excellent 3rd party software available. But the hardware limitations might just force me to find an alternative. The latest MB Pros tanking would have offered some hope.
The way this works is that the nation state installs a proxy that does a man-in-the-middle attack on the HTTPS traffic. It receives the incoming TLS handshake from the endpoint, and completes it with a certificate rooted in a 'compromised CA'. Then they handshake with the real server, and proxy the traffic.

This allows them to intercept the traffic by shunting the plaintext off of the proxy to another system. Of course, it's plainly obvious to you, the endpoint, that this is going on because have to trust that compromised CA on your device to access the site. They'll, of course, helpfully offer instructions about how to do this and require it to be pre-installed on systems.

But if there's no other way to access any HTTPS services? Lots of people will do it.

Omni (Schibsted) | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Stockholm, Sweden | Onsite | Full-Time

Omni is an award winning news app (and website) with the focus on personalization and quick and complete news coverage (aggregating all other news sources).

You will be part of a small and efficient team (4 full stack devs, 1 UX, and 1 designer in Stockholm; 4 Android and iOS devs in Gdansk) who have just begun expanding the app into new markets. We're small enough that you will have a big impact, but there's still plenty of career opportunities within the rest of Schibsted.

We're looking for a senior engineer that is very experienced with javascript and node.js (or so good at other stuff and willing to learn that it doesn't matter). The rest of our stack consists of Postgresql and Elastic Search, virtual-dom for the web, and Heroku and Kubernetes/AWS for hosting.

However, we're constantly experimenting and innovating and no strangers to trying new technology when we get a good opportunity (personally I can't wait to use Elm in production; we just need more devs who knows it!).

Email me at andreas@omni.se if you're interested.

Yup it's odd isn't it. I bet more than one of them has an idea for a Sony product or other start up idea, and the rest of them have all the time in the world to develop it -- on full pay, no less. And if they don't have the skills, well they also have plenty of time to learn.

It also sounds to me like a management failure.
I think the idea is to move away from worshiping summary statistics such as mean or median and starting to look at differences of distributions.

> we do own the code written specifically for Gigster projects.

That's good.

> We certainly don't want to own code folks write outside of Gigster projects.

That's good.

But the contract apparently says something else.

This reminds me of a contract gig I had a while ago. I asked them similar questions about their contract, and they said "that's not what we intend to do". OK... so could they update the contract to state their real intentions?

A: No.

OK. I don't need the work that badly. If the contract starts with bad terms and them lying to me, there isn't much reason to move forward.
Why?

"Reasonable" protections unduly impose costs on companies and may cause disemployment effects.

Now I know you'll say "companies are evil", but shareholders and banks loan to companies. When companies make profit some people make a profit.

If you have noble goals of helping the poor, a NIT (negative income tax) which transfers money to the poor would be more efficient.

ClassDojo | San Francisco | Full Time, On-site | https://classdojo.com

ClassDojo is looking for React-Native developers to join our team to help integrate React-Native into our massively popular Android app.

If you have Android experience and this sounds interesting, we'd love to chat with you. React-Native is easy to teach, so if you have no React-Native experience yet, but you're excited to learn something new, we'd love to chat with you too. We're looking for strong generalists and great teammates to help change the future of education.

Android and Java experience is essential for this role. We're happy to train anyone without React-Native experience at all, but we want to make sure we're working with someone who has existing experience developing on Android.

The company can do awful things.

This is not a simple fact. It is a truth.

> He made things into a me vs you situation

No. They did. By not including the mirror of that clause indemnifying him against them, the contract was the first to state "you could do awful things", so they have no standing whatsoever to complain about anything.

If this comment had been the last email response in the chain, I think that would have been great.

The fact that it wasn't, that an important issue was dismissed when raised in private, speaks far more to me than this public response.
The difference of course is that if you come to a US university expecting to make US wages afterwards, that's one thing. If you suddenly get sent back to a third-world country, that's a totally different thing. The problem is America has effectively been selling these people a false bill of goods.

On a personal level he took over a local manufacturing co. in the city I live in. My former neighbor was working there when he took over the company. In a press release he said he was pleased with managements performance at the company and they should continue to operate as they were. My neighbor in his early 60's was worked 7 days a week , 11 to 12 hr. days. It was apparent they were trying to force him out. They accomplished their goal , he had a stroke on the job and died a few days later. I agree Warren was not responsible personally , I don't know where the buck stops. I lost a good neighbor soon after his dog passed.
