Yours.co | Lead Software Developer | ONSITE Utah http://yours.co

Yours.co is looking for a software developer to build and lead a small team of two or three other developers in building their platform for offline backup of cloud storage.

You will be the head of software development at Yours.co and one of the first full-time software hires. You’ll have the opportunity to build a team, establish a process, pick a tech stack, and help settle the age old question of whether to use tabs, spaces, or extra semi colons to indent lines. This is a chance to create the culture you want and grow as a developer and person.

Because the team is relatively small, this role will involve lots of coding with some management sprinkled on top. Your main job is to build great software through your own efforts and the efforts of your team.

We are not looking for a rock star ninja unicorn sorceress code-crushing 100x developer-god. Real human beings only please.

This is an on-site position in American Fork, UT.

Beyond simple anti-trust, in many cases, we need to reform legal structures so that big players can't use them to block out startups.

It's practically impossible to defend yourself well in a lawsuit against any respectably-sized company without a few million lying around, first of all. That affects everything, and big companies use that fact to bully upstarts and other small innovators into shutting down all the time.

My own business was effectively shuttered (had to stop selling our primary product) by a C&D from a Fortune 100. It would've been 5-10 years and ~$5 million to see that case all the way through, and under current precedent, it's very likely I would have lost.

Aside from that, industries frequently get laws and rules put in place with ostensibly-reasonable rationale, while the actual intent is to make it virtually impossible for disruptive competitors to enter the marketplace.

The CFAA is the piece of legislation that primarily enshrines entrenched players in the online space. We also need to reform copyright law and clarify some matters regarding the applicability of EULAs, especially with regard to clickwrap and browsewrap.

Once that's done, the flood of innovators that have been held back by big companies dispatching their law firms will finally be able to contribute, and the internet's competitve landscape will truly be back in the hands of the users. It will shift from "Who has my data? I have to go with them" to "I can use any interface I want to access that data", effectively resolving the chicken-and-egg effect that imperils any potential competing social network (not even Google could compete with Facebook on this!).

Jason described HN once as "the ass-end of the tech elite" and I still use that quote to this day. Wonderful dude.
You can use Composable's Fluent API to author and run dataflows in code. No GUI required. Composable's platform is open and completely extensible in sense that anyone can add applications or first class modules to the system, including swapping out some of the more internal components.
Also to be clear GitLab (apparently) didn't lose any data actually stored in git from that timeframe, "just" the data stored via GitLab itself (issues, wikis, etc).

It's of course still bad because GitLab makes a big deal of being about the "whole package" rather than just version control, but it's not the massive potential for intellectual property loss "six hours of data" implies for what most think of primarily as a git hosting service.

And supporting the 3 LLVM jits is awkward. I'll better decide on only one and add the llvm version as fixed requirement.
MCJIT sounds best so far, when storing the jit'ed bodies for all subs in a module in extra files does not kill all the performance. v8 went without that cache, java with.
With a jit cache you can easily pre-compile/warmup your stdlib and do more expensive optimizations beforehand. LLVM is really slow.

Indeed they do, and there are other strategies for achieving that than gutting HN's approach to titles which is critical to how the site functions.

If you have links to stories that fit that description and haven't had attention on HN yet, I'd love to see them.

Thinking out-loud in terms of a corporation. The owners are the landlord for the corporation, but that corporation is it's own legal entity. Owners come and go, but that corporate entity remains and insulates the owners from many legal and financial repercussions of the company's actions. It's a similar thing with countries. I'm not personally held responsible for the actions of the United States or the Town in which I dwell, but I am one of the landlords for those entities.

I think the question here is whether there are advantages to making algorithms legal entities similar to our other communal legal entities. It's a radical idea, but so is UBI and some other suggestions for mitigating the obsolescence of many human being as a result of automation.

Sounds like another big-name product, for which the advice "not if you put your hands a certain way" was touted as a complete disaster.
First, physical addiction is an issue, since the "proper dosage" to mitigate a particular patient's pain can easily be higher (or more frequent) than the "proper dosage" to avoid addiction; so on one hand some patients have to suffer without being able to increase the dose, and on the other hand the statistics show that even if in theory it "shouldn't be much of an issue", in practice addiction does happen.

But for the pure side effects, the most common issues are constipation and nausea. Then there's sedation (which may be comparable to effects of pot), and of course the suppressed breathing which makes accidental overdoses potentially deadly, unlike pot. Especially for chronic pain management, the long term effects add up, then you also risk liver damage, etc.

You can also run the open source version of GitLab on your own hardware for free. Gitea is also quite good if you don't need the more advanced functionality that Gitlab provides - for basic git and issue tracking it's good enough.

If you want to spend money on things and you're a small team also consider Atlassian's JIRA $10 for 10 users plan. JIRA might be overkill for small projects, but if you want nice agile project management tools it's pretty good.

I am not enraged but this is not good. We don't want ISPs to use their monopolies to pick and choose the web's winners and losers. Just because Wikipedia is a great nonprofit resource doesn't mean that competitors should be disadvantaged.

ISPs don't zero-rate because of the goodness of their non-existant hearts. They do this to get people hooked on using more data to get them to buy more data. Either that or they can use it to start competing services or as blackmail to get web services to pay them.

The contract states that I have to effectively grant them a BSD license for whatever I do there. Then open source licenses can stack on others' as I choose.

Nah. Not worth it. If I want it as GPL3, I expect them to comply with GPL3.
Ah! Maybe that would encourage people not to make 15mb pages doing dozens of requests!
I've watched some of Amazon's 4K content and wasn't particularly blown away. In fact, I had to pause the Fire TV a few times just to see whether or not the stream was still in 4K, because if your network traffic slows down it will revert back to 1080. It wasn't noticeable enough for me on a 50" screen at about 8 feet away.
The license to "use, display and perform your Content" isn't limited to the GitHub site or functionality. Only the "access your Content" and "reproduce your Content" are limited to GitHub.

> The only real problem I see here is that unless you created the work entirely by yourself ("you" here can mean a group), you can't grant the rights necessary to upload to Github, even if you're well intentioned or the original authors may be fine with it. And these rules apply to private repos, too. I wish the author had focused more on that.

The author did explicitly mention that. But I think it's worth listing all the issues with the ToS, not just one.
Sure, but the barrier for the ISP to allowing the same thing for a proprietary music streaming service has been lowered.

This is, apart from the utility that it brings, advertisement for the operator:

> Wikimedia recognizes the user is on that operator's network and serves a banner on the top of the page indicating free data courtesy of their mobile operator, which reinforces a positive brand experience for the operator. [0]

It's not inconceivable that the ISP would do similar deals with $music_streaming_service. Maybe for some payment.

I believe that's the reference right there. Porn sites, along with most other sites, were usually not quite as spiffy as they are these days. Aside from some creative hot spots that really overdid it with the GIFs (geocities 4 life!) most sites were typically just browser defaults with perhaps some changes to background colors, maybe add a nifty tiled background image and such. Web design (not to mention development) was quite different back in the late nineties, early naughts, than what it's like now – the default blue link color was everywhere.

This whole issue is effectively a sarcastic response to that lack of design, and referring to the default blue as "the porn color" I read to mean "don't be cheap and stick with the defaults; don't be a porn site."

The joke doesn't age very well, but it was really funny back then.
Yes. did it affect this one, not by design but it was certainly leveraged as a platform.
> And these rules apply to private repos, too.

To quote your quote:

>> If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly

This is the same non-story that goes around any time someone reads the terms of service of twitter/facebook/dropbox/etc. These services need some license grant to do what you want them to do.

Note that any OSS license fulfills the requirements. I always assumed a free license was a requirement anyway. If that's the case, nothing really changed.
It doesn't seem to allow me to chat with hangouts users.
>we now estimate based on our logs the bug was triggered 1,242,071 times

Based on looking at 1% of their log entries for 10 days of the total ~150 day period.
But also, we gotta start writing stuff like this parser in safer languages where this class of bug simply can't happen, right? Every time one of these breaches occurs, it's basically the same thing. "Data wasn't what we expected, we read a bunch of extra junk that had nothing to do with the input." It's kind of crazy it's acceptable at all.

At this point, these kind of problems are on us as a community that we keep using unsafe tools. Every time we choose one of these languages we are implicitly trading security for performance (a.k.a. money).
I just visited the long now foundation's SF office yesterday. Very cool stuff.
The problem is that CloudFlare encourages a fundamentally insecure architecture. CDN should be used to host static files on a separate, cookie-less subdomain. With such architecture consequences of any data leak from a shared CDN infrastructure are limited.

With CloudFlare all the requests are passed through the CDN. With dynamic, authenticated requests the benefits of this are dubious. The responses can't be cached anyway, an additional HTTP(S)-level hop is required for each request (and many additional IP-level hops). The drawbacks are now obvious: sensitive, unencrypted data of thousands of different sites resides in the same, not isolated, shared process memory. With such architecture we will always be one C pointer manipulation bug away from another leak.
Bitbucket could be an option as well.
These legal issues are real and no amount of running away and ignoring them will resolve them.

This is an intractable part of open-source software development. We can piss all over GitHub for trying to figure it out and getting it wrong, but at least they're trying.
By 'hats', I meant the video effects for adding silly hats and glasses to people's faces. :)
>Your argument is basically that people tend to be more skeptical of change than of the status quo. Which is absolutely true, but it's not reason, it's just inertia.

We can't get into the details without this turning into a debate on same-sex marriage in general, but my point is that small government people are extra skeptical of changes that expand the government. More skeptical than the average person, because beyond simple inertia, there is an ideology that says the government should be limited and that growth should be opposed unless a compelling interest can be shown. That ideology must be satisfied to get small government people on board.
Sure, few words on customizations we've built into mnesia:
- we integrated it with our eureka-based service discovery mechanism, so that it can automatically cluster with other servers that are spun up in a process of cluster bootstrap/resizing. Also relaxed constraints when merging 2 identical schemas of separate clusters (when table cookies don't match, but everything else matches we still want to merge and take a union of already existing data)
- we've added a bunch of auto-merge code (heavily inspired by Ulf's wonderful https://github.com/uwiger/unsplit library) in case of network partitions
- we've also added support for maintaining pools of processes for each table for dirty updates (as opposed of going through mnesia_tm for every single operation, including transactions as well as dirty_asyncs)

I'm 100% aware that these changes are RMS/Riot specific and won't work in many other situations (e.g. they violate certain transaction isolation properties).

> Leading to more profitable work for more architects.

I think it will make their job easier, which means more people will compete, which means less profitable work.
> I re-iterate my comparison to religion, theistic philosopher reason similarly about the soul/god/etc.

I'd guess most philosophers of mind would love to understand how - or show that mind is indeed physical. But it is not as simple a job as it might seem; like any rigorous subject, you'll have to have familiarity of the subject matter to understand why that is the case (and if you are looking for argument, one can't hope to summarize many years of technical papers and necessary background on a HN comment)

> What authority do philosophers have to label anything silly?

They are the expert of their field, why wouldn't they have authority there? If I throw out some idea about physics, I'd guess physicists should have first authority to decide whether my idea is silly.

> Reminds me of the claims made about religion vs science, that science can only study the 'physical', where religion is needed to explore the 'spiritual'.

As far as I'm aware, philosophy of mind has absolutely no religious motivations. Most are proponent of some physicalist theory, but many of those would probably say -we are not fully there yet to show how it is possible.
