Amazon Web Services | Multiple positions | Seattle | Fulltime, ONSITE, http://aws.amazon.com/batch

The AWS HPC Services org is hiring for multiple positions. HPC Services is a new org that sits inside broader Amazon EC2 org. Our first public service was AWS Batch. In addition to continuing to evolve AWS Batch, we are also investing in tools and libraries that improve the performance of HPC applications on AWS. When we say HPC we think of applications across various scientific domains, engineering, machine learning, etc. Our target customers are scientists, engineers, and developers. Current open positions are for a Web Development Engineer [1] and Software Development Engineers [2]. Not posted yet is a position for a research scientist with deep experience in parallelism, e.g. frameworks/libraries like MPI, LAPACK, etc. If you want to learn more, please reach out to me (deesingh (at) amazon) or joadegbo (at) amazon

Regardless of how you feel about Google's motivations, this is a pretty dismal commentary on the state of browser interoperability.
Which AWS services do you use?
Not an official one. http://hnstream.com/ has a simple API and seems to work decently well, but it doesn't have the (sort of) nice interface that reddit-stream.com has.
You are very right. After learning the third, you start to feel a glimpse of some more universal structure in your brain, that pinpoints meaning to expression in languages you know. So you can tell "this cant be said in English, it is too Spanish", or something like that. And it is very useful to learn at least one Eastern Asian language with non-latin script, to get full experience of this kind. Your own depths are unfathomable, and every language pulls the cover, unraveling the abyss of your own mind.
Having worked on SaaS products with high demands to security before, and having spent a serious chunk of people's hours on building security infrastructure around it, I'd say the biggest challenges were:

* Identifying threat model (assets we are protecting, what we are protecting them against), that connects to practical business values and risks, not abstract "security ideals". In our case it was understanding what kind of data we're afraid to lose / get tampered with to what extent - for some things we might've lost a license, for other things our CEO might've had a criminal case, so different measures applied.

* Orchestrating practical security with compliance (was relevant for that product, banking -> ISO, PCIDSS and local personal data protection regulation).

* Making hard decisions on whether doing it internally (we've had these competences) or outsourcing some of the implementation work to specialized outfit. Did it internally, was great experience, but would think twice to repeat.

* Making stakeholders understand how much the showstoppers, which emerge along the way, are important to be taken care of.

Personal anecdote: My mother tongue (Persian) is very complicated when it comes to conveying respect to strangers. You need to be very careful to use the right terms and exchange obligatory niceties. That's why I often try to hide my mother tongue when interacting with fellow Iranians. For instance, it's a lot easier to order food at an Iranian restaurant in English than Persian. English just means business.

Scalyr | Backend, Frontend, Devops, Customer Success Engineers | San Mateo, CA | ONSITE

I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say that Scalyr is my favorite so far. We're building an amazing team, users rave about our product, and things are taking off – we're closing seven-figure contracts and revenue grew 5x last year. And we're doing it on a sane, 40-hour, daily-team-hike, Fridays-at-home schedule. We're pre-series-A, but in many ways playing like a series B company, so this is a chance to get the best of both worlds -- early-stage equity and impact, with later-stage compensation and stability; plus a very strong team for peering or mentorship.

Backend Engineer: We've built a NoSQL data engine from scratch that searches text at 750 GB/second. How'd you like to help us scale and optimize to multiple TB/second?

Frontend Engineer: "The fastest blog in the world" (https://jacquesmattheij.com/the-fastest-blog-in-the-world) loads in under 100 ms. Help us push our data visualization tools toward that goal.

Devops Engineer: We run hundreds of servers, process 750 GB/second, maintain 99.99% uptime, and almost never get paged (http://blog.scalyr.com/2014/08/99-99-uptime-9-5-schedule/). But we're still not satisfied. How'd you like to take our operations to the next level as we go through our next 10x of growth?

Customer Success Engineer: our customers are engineers. We're looking for someone with lightweight ops experience and good communication skills to help them get the most out of Scalyr. A great opportunity to join the team and work your way up the engineering ladder.

> Get a routine checkup! It can save your life.

There is no evidence that routine checkups lead to better outcomes.

"But what are the true benefits of this practice? Careful reviews of several large studies have shown that these annual visits don’t make any difference in health outcomes. In other words, being seen by your doctor once a year won’t necessarily keep you from getting sick, or even help you live longer."

The Gamecube was actually more powerful than the PS2. An easy comparison here is to look at Resident Evil 4 on both consoles:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkKX-nU9fX4

If anything, the fact that the Gamecube's graphical superiority didn't help it much in the market is what made Nintendo make their shift towards innovations instead of clock cycles.

You can't have both because the market has told Nintendo specifically (via the DS, 3DS, and Wii) that it wants unique experiences, not more pixels.
You can use PCI risers to give yourself some more flexibility as to how your cards are plugged in. However, please make sure you have enough PCI x16 or x8 slots. If you're not running a server motherboard, I highly doubt you have enough PCI lanes to fit more than two or three cards.
I imagine this is one of the downsides of having publicly-funded healthcare. While it sucks (I have a child with a disability so we would probably be denied residency), I can't say I blame them for not wanting to take on the financial burden.

BAMTech | New York, NY | (Sr.) Software Engineer || ONSITE or REMOTE, Full time

Join our team and help us drive the cord-cutting revolution! BAMTech, a subsidiary of MLB Advanced Media, isn’t just about streaming Baseball – we also manage HBO Now, NHL, Twitter NFL, Fox Sports Go, WWE, and several other content providers. You would be helping a team whose services act as the linchpin for video playback, handling new challenges of scale and speed in a rapidly growing industry. The company is aggressively expanding to meet increased demand, and you would be getting in on the ground floor of this new opportunity. You would help the team create new designs to meet our scaling demands, build out services in cloud infrastructure providers with exposure to AWS EC2, S3, Dynamo, and Kinesis, and help the team introduce new processes to scale. If you like tinkering with new technologies, have experience with high scale systems, or simply want to gain exposure to new tools, this team is a great fit. You’d be helping the team embrace microservices architecture with an emphasis on non-blocking, highly concurrent programming. Experience with Scala/Play/Akka is highly preferred, but not a requirement. With strong CS fundamentals and an entrepreneurial attitude, you’d be an asset to our team.

"Modern distributed systems do not consistently use redundancy to recover from file-system faults: a single file-system fault can cause catastrophic outcomes such as data loss, corruption, and unavailability."

Systems studied were Redis, ZooKeeper, Cassandra, Kafka, RethinkDB, MongoDB, LogCabin, and CockroachDB. Serious errors in file system fault recovery were found in all systems, resulting in crashes or reduced redundancy, and some systems even spread corruption to other replicas.

Pretty sure my only use case for Twitter is to tweet at non-followers, eg "get customer service".
If you were Twitter, why on Earth would you want the accepted answer to anybody's problems to be "don't use Twitter"? Your entire business model is built around getting people to use your service.

Getting Started with Lyft Envoy for Microservices Resilience
I really don't see your point.
Because of tribalism. You care for your own community and in return, your community cares for you.

US govt (a proxy for US community) cares for US citizens and US citizens have a mechanism to ensure that it continues to care for them. Indian govt (a proxy for Indian community) doesn't care about US citizens and they do not have any mechanism to make it care.

So until we all truly believe in "global community" and have mechanisms to ensure that there is a legitimate proxy for global community to care for everyone, its better to stick to your own community.

p.s. Even US might be a very big entity to have any sense of cohesion (and hence the polarization we see). Probably, we need smaller regional entities having bulk of the duties/responsibilities/powers, with federal govt performing only a minimal set of functions. But thats a separate political debate.
..and maybe to stop users playing HTML games (Nintendo ripoffs for example). This is a shame as I felt the Wii U was crippled in this respect (i.e. video tag supported but not audio!)
Please show me an intelligent left-wing and an intelligent-right wing person, both of consistently post well reasoned and well argued content from their perspectives.

It doesn't matter what side they are on, all that gets shared on twitter that would qualify as political is absolutely nauseating waving that sides flag and telling the world how stupid the other side is.

It would be better if it was blocked, preferably by default.
Except when Twitter makes that a heuristic for detecting bots, then they'll soon stop tweeting the same text twice.
My undergrad degree's in biomedical engineering, and I've been a self-taught coder since middle school. I'm currently pursing my PhD in engineering in addition to my medical degree, and working on using computational simulations and analytics to improve our understanding of how electrical abnormalities occur in the heart. I've always been interested in startups but haven't actively been involved in one. My goal is to work in a academic setting where I do both clinical medicine and research, and hopefully help translate research work to the clinic by working with startups that are my or other people's research findings.
I highly disagree. Additionally, I'm not convinced Signal or Whatsapp in their current conditions viable replacements.

This is one of those that makes me ask "why is this on HN?" Not the passive-aggressive "I don't think this should be on HN" kind of thing. More, "no, seriously, why on earth did you think anyone but you would be interested in this rambling stream of consciousness. I'd really like to know because I'm obviously missing something."
I just drove a 2006ish BMW and was confused at the turn signal as it didn't "click in" when pushed up or down but immediately returned to center. It operated correctly though, turning off when the turn was completed.

Also the windshield wiper control was "opposite" of what I am accustomed to: down was pulse and up was constant. I got mad the first two times I wanted pulse but then realized it was better as my right hand is typically above the stalk on the steering wheel and it is much easier to simply swipe down than have to swipe down then up.
Latently | Deep Learning Engineer | Boulder, Co | REMOTE

Latently is a stealth-mode pre-revenue startup that is looking for engineers who want to earn sweat equity alongside the founders. We have substantial hardware support through IBM's Global Entrepreneur program and you'll be training state-of-the-art recurrent neural networks on unstructured text on a sweet GPU cluster. If you have the luxury of time this is a great opportunity. Send resumes to brian@latent.ly
Quantopian hosts one where the winner gets actual money funded for their algorithm.
I agree with this. Why does anyone at this point suspect the self-driving cars thing is not a retcon to try and cover up the obvious fact that while a great user experience for summoning rides is a something people like, the model uber landed on to make a business doesn't really work?

It would be really interesting to see the early pitch decks for Uber - especially the series A and B slides. I would be inclined to bet that autonomous vehicles do not make an appearance until much later.
SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote (must be available during USA daytime) - PHP + NetSuite API

Looking for a PHP developer who has experience integrating with the NetSuite API. This is a one-time gig, probably 20-40 hours. Location does not matter, but this will be more of a collaborative relationship (as opposed to just "throwing a spec over the wall and waiting for it to come back finished"), so good communication skills (English language) and availability during the USA daytime are required.

We are building an eCommerce site in the Laravel framework, and much of the customer functionality (pricing, checkout, payment processing, customer accounts) will be integrated with NetSuite. The task will partially be doing the coding and partially teaching other developers how to work with the NetSuite API.

Email: hn@jordanlev.com
I love this part:

"Feynman had a proposed solution to the anisotropy problem which he attempted (without success) to work out in detail. His notion was that the underlying automata, rather than being connected in a regular lattice like a grid or a pattern of hexagons, might be randomly connected. Waves propagating through this medium would, on the average, propagate at the same rate in every direction."
Open Law Library (http://www.openlawlib.org) | Software Engineer | U.S. | REMOTE | $90k-$110k+

Open Law Library is a small nonprofit tech startup and open access legal publisher dedicated to making the law accessible to all.

We take tools and techniques developed for engineers to publish software code - linters, compilers, continuous integration/deployment, VCS, etc - and adapt and transform them for use by governments to publish legal codes. Governments use our tools to save time and money and publish laws in human-friendly and computer-friendly formats.

If you are looking for a meaningful way to contribute to our democracy, you find joy in building the perfect tools for your users, you like deep and challenging problems in such diverse areas as version control, DSL design, UI/UX, and NLP (more accurately, LLP - Legal Language Processing :), and the idea of helping build a team excites you, contact vchuang at openlawlib dot org.

We are looking to fill two types of positions:

Engineer with Legal Experience

We serve our government partners and their citizens by quickly and efficiently solving their legal publishing needs through technology. But every government is different, so we are always looking for strong engineers with legal experience who can quickly understand our partners’ needs and customize our software to their specific requirements. If you are a engineer with legal experience - lawschool grad, paralegal, or lawyer - come apply your passion for technology and the law to meaningfully change how the public experiences the law. When applying or inquiring, please include the phrase law in square brackets in the subject line.

Developer Tools Engineer

We are looking for an engineer with extensive experience writing developer tools who is interested in applying that experience to legal writing and publishing. If you have experience with IntelliSense, IDEs, linters, compilers, etc, and you want to apply it to a completely new field, we’d like to chat! When applying or inquiring, please include the phrase tools in square brackets in the subject line.
