Fair enough.

Nomad Health | Product Engineer | NYC | ONSITE https://nomadhealth.com/careers

Nomad is building the online marketplace for healthcare staffing. Hiring doctors and other clinicians is an opaque, outmoded industry rife with expensive brokers and mounds of paperwork. Nomad is fixing that by building a platform that connects clinicians directly to the facilities that hire them. Doctors regain control of their job search, hospitals regain control of their costs.

We're a small (N=4) engineering team and we're looking for a Product Engineer to help build and expand our platform. Our stack is Python/Flask with React/Redux on the client.

Inquiries and interest: careers@nomadhealth.com
Verified - this is what I saw and what was used on me.
>Twitter was basically unusable for a week afterwards. Can you imagine that shit all the time?

I can't, because in such a situation I would just delete my account. Spending your time responding to or blocking and reporting all of them would be maddening, for sure, but that is what gives them their "power". It's easier to click only one or two buttons and just be done with it all. Let them have their little victory. Don't let some app be the doorway through which people can try to hurt you.
Sorry, but this explanation makes no sense. $TWTR has been a public company since 2013, with investors who emphatically do care about things other than vanity metrics.

A list of the largest Twitter shareholders[1] includes Blackrock, Vanguard, Fidelity, Morgan Stanley etc. These folks really don't care about "engagement metrics", except as proxies for revenue.

This argument can hold for earlier-stage companies with investors hoping to sell at inflated valuations to a greater fool later in line, but once you've been publicly held for several years, it's quite a stretch. Whatever's hurting Twitter's ability to fix its problems, it isn't "investor pressure".

must we check any semblance of emotion at the door? i am simply trying to put into words the emotions invoked having used their product.

if we want to suggest I'm opening up a potential argument by being "unnecessarily inflammatory", id say that GitLab as a product is the unecessary inflammation that started the argument.

I didnt insult anyone- I have a ton of respect for the GitLab guys and I genuinely wish them the best of luck. which is why I'm not going to step on eggshells when I have the opportunity to describe my experience with their product.

edit: was downvoted again, on this post, before anyone could have feasibly had the time to read and put any reasonable thought into it.

thoughtful conviction, passion, and opinions won't be the downfall of HN. but overzealous censorship might. For such an intelligent community, we seem to have an awfully hard time reading between the lines.

all that aside- lets be honest- I've been here long enough to wager I'm being downvoted out of pure disagreement. a bigger offense, in my opinion (if I may be so brave as to share it....)
> They're meant as a cache and anti-DDoS proxy more than anything else

You can't cache responses to authenticated requests, so in case of DDoS attack against an HTTP end point that requires authentication the best CloudFlare can do to safe the back-end is to drop requests, which makes the attack successful. I really can't see benefits of passing authenticated traffic through CloudFlare.

> Nintendo can't really afford to sell hardware at a loss, for years, just to build-up market share

Not really. It's old but back in 2014 we saw Nintendo could run at a lose for many decades if necessary and still be fine because they were sitting on almost $11 billion in cash [1]. Today I thought I read that it's higher but not sure how to look it up.

> like Sony/MS can. Sony/MS can just do some Excel accounting magic to hide those losses under the giant umbrella of all their other businesses, but Nintendo - they have to make a profit, perio

The PS4 sold for a profit from day one. I'm not sure if the XBox One was similar or not but they're likely making a profit as well.

Selling at a loss isn't as common in the latest generation.

> We're plateauing quickly in terms of graphical fidelity. The PS3 was an easy sell, a huge upgrade over the PS2, but the PS4 - not so much. "It's kinda like the PS3, but crisper!" is how I'd describe it to a non-hard-core gamer.

Problem is you're only thinking in terms of graphical power. The PS4 has easily a better network for online gaming along with a ton of great games. Don't forget about PSVR being a really nice, mid-level entry into the market and is currently the leader as far as all currently released numbers indicate.

Being an easy sell or not is going to depend on the person you're selling to but I wouldn't dismiss the PS4 as just "crisper" than the PS3.

Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Santa Monica, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly on Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for:

* Infrastructure Engineers, both junior and senior (think midway between SRE and devops; security background is a bonus)

* Software Engineers (London, Los Angeles)

* Web Developer, to join our marketing team

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers/ . (A while back I wrote an overview about our engineering challenges, which you can find at https://smarketshq.com/the-challenges-of-running-a-betting-e... .)

OpenBSD errata, Mar 1, 2017 – Wifi client MITM fix
We debated this one quite a bit, and ultimately went with a free tier instead of free trial because: (a) it gives us public free content that can be used for SEO, and (b) reduces the barrier for trial and sign up.

Finally, the free tier is data from a year ago instead of the most recent publicly available data (2 months ago), so while retailers can get some benefit, the paid tier is much more fresh and actionable.

A pulse oximiter measures the oxygen content of arterial blood in the peripheries. A heart attack is caused by a localised blockage of the arteries to the heart, causing reduced oxygen and nutrient delivery to an area of heart muscle. A heart attack alone would not affect peripheral oxygen content unless it was severe enough for a complication such as heart failure to develop, but by that stage it's much too late.

Indeed the vast majority of patients with an acute heart attack would have completely normal pulse oximetry findings, the only way to properly diagnose a heart attack is with an electrocardiogram (EKG) and/or blood tests to look for markers of heart muscle damage

"scientists found fossilized traces of bacteria in iron ore samples"

I'm not clear if the scientists declared this to be bacteria, in the technical sense, or if the journalist decided to use the word "bacteria" as a synonym for "single celled organism". Does anyone know? Is the claim that this is definitely bacteria, and not Archaea?

Also, on a slightly different topic, this would mean that life existed at a time when Earth was still getting hit with immense asteroids, of the type that would leave craters at least 800 kilometers across (as we know was happening to the moon at the same time). Everyone I've read on this topic assumes such a massive hit would sterilize the whole planet. So did the single celled organisms survive such hits, or was life re-created many times?
IBM gets a patent on “out-of-office” e-mail messages
Here's the thing: let's say that AI never advances past its current level of sophistication (circa March 2017), but it does continue to get cheaper and more ubiquitous. It seems clear to me at this point that even this may already be enough to replace many agriculture jobs, transportation jobs, manufacturing jobs, retail jobs, and perhaps even some higher level jobs in healthcare and law. Even though it's "just" neural nets and fancy statistics, that already seems to be enough to put maybe a quarter, or even third, of educated people in the developed world out of work. Nevermind billions of others in developing countries.

US border guards can't believe Nigerian man is a software engineer
Data Scientist for Republic Wireless here. We operate a hybrid mobile phone service that leverages both VoIP and traditional circuit switched networks to let our customers make calls.

When asked to rate the quality of a call, our users consistently rate pure VoIP calls higher than their pure circuit switched counterparts. A significant portion of that is due to our "bonded calling" technology - if a VoIP call over Wifi starts to degrade, we can supplement the audio stream with additional packets sent over LTE until Wifi issues calm down.

When we first rolled that tech out, we saw a marked improvement in call quality measures, and a noticeable drop in customer support complaints about call quality.

In the end, I can't say this issue will ever be solved to OP's satisfaction, but we're making some incredible strides.

Tell HN: Referral spam on Who's hiring thread
Some folks post the jobs on Who's hiring just to get the referral fee (can be 3-5k or even more) from their companies - they don't care about answering the questions by email or even personally reply to you.

Zoomi Inc. | Multiple | Nashua, NH and REMOTE | http://zoomiinc.com/careers/

Everyone has their own unique learning style. So why don’t corporate training programs typically take this into account? One-size-fits-all training modules are not an effective way to train employees.

To prove training success, learning leaders must measure and track employee results. Demonstrating learning effectiveness and measuring success is about more than quiz and test results, satisfaction surveys and the number of courses completed.

Using Zoomi, companies can maximize training efforts through increased completion rates, improved course effectiveness, reduced training costs, increased employee productivity and improved learner engagement.

Zoomi’s analytics will help your company demonstrate the correlation between training performance and business outcomes, making employee training an integral part of the business strategy, rather than a cost center factored into the annual budget.

Zoomi is hiring for several positions on our engineering and research teams. Come join our team and change the way the world learns.

It's not just a macho thing.

I pretty severely injured an ankle back in September, at MMA, and for the first time in my life (at 38) it doesn't seem to be healing up very well. I keep finding new little movements that cause it to feel pretty wrong ("popping", "pulling", cold sensation, mild short-term pain, weakness).

One of these happened in front of my girlfriend, who ordered me to see a doctor, so I did. I filled out new copies of all the paperwork I filled out a year ago when I was grievously ill, sat around for a bit, got into the doctor's office, his assistant appeared and asked me a couple of questions, then the doctor appeared after a bit and asked me the same questions again. He palpated my ankle for a few seconds, told me to get a brace, and then left the room without another word.

Unless you're wealthy enough to afford a dedicated physician, there's just really no point in seeing a doctor for anything less than "I might be about to die".

...which sucks, because I'm a huge proponent of preventative medical care. It's just not available for most people.
Yes, previously people believed that the heavy bombardment would have sterilized the earth. Apparently (hard to say for sure) that assumption was wrong.

To clarify this a bit, SIP (session initiation protocol) is just a signalling protocol, meaning it is used to set up/tear down media streams between endpoints using various codecs. The sip standard includes a section of the message which is included in specific types of negotiation messages (invite, 183, 200 ok) called the SDP (session description protocol) to determine/negotiate which codec that gets used for the call (or video session).

In SDP you specify a list of the codecs you want to use in the media stream. The switch you are hosted by (either your Telephone Service Provider or Carrier) then determines which of these codecs match the other leg of the call it will be bridging you to, and chooses one of the codecs you provide to use for the media session. Sometimes it will be decide to transparently transcodes the call to another codec if required by the destination network. The payload in the media stream (called the RTP stream or Real-time Transport Protocol stream) will be encoded in the codec you specify, but may be transcoded on the way to the destination if required by the intermediary hop.

Among the codecs you could use, there are high definition codecs like G722 that sound really great and are becoming much more popular (this is the skype high definition audio codec IIRC), but if a call traverses the PSTN at all, that call will get transcoded down to G711U (USA) or G711A (everywhere else) and the quality will be much lower. If a call stays pure voip, there is a chance it will stay at G722 but typically that is the problem, you will encounter when calling to other phone systems that are still on the old circuit switched infrastructure.

So ultimately the quality of the call is dependent on these factors, how much bandwidth you have available, what codecs your VoIP provider supports, the quality of the path call takes and the codecs supported by the carriers the call traverses to get from your provider to the destination phone, and the type of endpoint you are calling IE: if you are calling mobile phone, a phone on another voip provider, or an old POTS line.

A POTS (plain old telephone service) line is (now sort of) dedicated from point to point. You might be surprised to learn that on the backend, most carriers use a lot of voip for internal network or handing off calls to other carriers. The old phone system reserved a 64k circuit for the entire path of the call which only contained the voice data for that specific call. This provides some quality guarantees are there that do not exist for packets traversing the public internet. VoIP on a private network with sufficient bandwidth and QoS for the media stream is always going to at least sound as good, if not better than the POTS network because the compression to squeeze the voice data down to a 64kbps was not very good when that stuff was invented. With voip you can use the new codecs, which nearly always results in a better call quality. This all depends on the provider you are using though, if they are hosting their services on AWS and using crappy carriers, your call quality will suffer.
>Also, on a slightly different topic, this would mean that life existed at a time when Earth was still getting hit with immense asteroids, of the type that would leave craters at least 800 kilometers across (as we know was happening to the moon at the same time). Everyone I've read on this topic assumes such a massive hit would sterilize the whole planet. So did the single celled organisms survive such hits, or was life re-created many times?

Nobody knows! It's an important question though, especially if you believe in some variant of the 'Great Filter' hypothesis. If the leap from organic molecules to single-celled life is "easy" (as demonstrated by repeated iteration in our past) then the filter lays beyond that. Then the question is whether multicellular life is the big leap?
