So here's the thing: not everyone is you, not everyone is passionate about technology, and it's not reasonable to expect people to do more of their job outside of work for free. You might like, and that's great, but people have families and hobbies and interests that sometimes have nothing to do with the 40 hours they churn through for their bosses. I'm so sick of interviewing for companies who want "passionate" developers, which translates to "doing more work for free".

If you're curious about why we have workplace harassment laws, talk to basically any woman with a job and then rethink your sweet nostalgia.
StackShare | Full-time | REMOTE OK (U.S. only)

We’re on a mission to create the best place for engineers to figure out how to piece together their tech stack. Our vision is to transform the way that SaaS tools and infrastructure are bought and sold.

We're looking for an experienced front-end focused engineer that's passionate about dev tools: https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/186787-front-end-react-soft.... Must be familiar with React and Rails.

We're a small distributed team of 4, spread out across the US. Our Stack: Ruby/Rails/React/PostgreSQL https://stackshare.io/stackshare.

How we work:

Every engineer owns and is responsible for the products they build. Before writing any code, the engineer tagged to the product writes a blog post announcing it to the StackShare community. From there, they spec out the product in detail and get feedback from at least one other engineer. Once the initial version of the product is built they ship it to a small group of beta testers and gather feedback and iterate. Once the production version is done the engineer is then responsible for creating the analytics reports and tracking success of that product and iterating to improve it.

Interview process:

Phone screen -> technical interview -> code project -> product interview -> offer letter!

Apply via AngelList or email us at careers+HN@stackshare.io - if you're emailing please include your resume and/or LinkedIn profile URL!
But it cannot cut an old, dirty, high carbon cast pipe ;) an agle grinder with a universal cutting wheel can, but those are so loud that it would be better than an alarm, though personally, I'd just fill up the ATM with a little propane and let the sparks do the rest, as an anti-theft measure...
My Gosh, that is an extremely salient and DEEPLY DEPRESSING point.

I've been drawn to question what to do about that quite often, but I havent happened across an acceptable answer as yet.
Thank you, I've wanted to make a point similar to the one you've made but already tied it all together.
>Citing Google's blog post for Android security is not very convincing.

So instead of believing metrics gathered from Google's SafetyNet telemetry from 1.4 billion devices you would rather believe scaremongering blog posts that have no concrete data to back up their claims?

>If Android is so secure, why are we seeing (often more frequently than) weekly headlines on Android security woes, often containing something like "millions of devices affected" (and often enough, no fix in sight)?

Do you really think it's that easy to exploit an Android phone? Once you have an exploit you must then chain it with other exploits to get around all of the Android security mitigation's in place. And then there's the fact that every OEM creates their own version of Android so not every exploit will work on every device or OS version - you can thank device and OS fragmentation for that one.

So this is why bugs like Stagefright never panned out to be the security armageddon that these click bait blog sites all wanted you to believe. Just because an exploit is discovered doesn't really mean it's being exploited in the wild.

Hi, is Oscar Insurance looking for any engineering interns this summer?
Because economics has always been utterly useless in any practical sense. It makes no testable predictions and is no more scientific than any theology. Only because it clothes its dogmas in symbolic notation is it accorded even the slightest bit of respect. The sooner we jettison it from our epistenic frames, the more quickly we will return to something that at least partially resembles sanity.

Step one to making things better: legalize the drugs in the USA from which Mexican drug cartels are getting rich.
When I was involved in RO in the early eighties, that was exactly the issue. In the context of offshore drilling rigs, we just couldn't get the adherence to protocol around flushing and filtering that the units needed to work over a reasonable lifetime.

We eventually gave up and went with an Alfa-Laval heat exchanger based approach.
I don't think this should be made illegal. If you can get an implant to make your job easier -- hmmm, maybe? However, making this a condition of employment should definitely be illegal. This crosses a significant line from non-invasive drug testing to invasive surgery.

But then... What happens when performance is used to determine hiring and firing and you can't perform as well without an implant.

I understand these are currently just for ID purposes (easy password). But these NFC chips already have a certain amount of storage. What happens when that storage is used to store context information that improves 3-5 operations rather than just login?
Humans aren't all that great at driving safely and consistently either. Autonomous vehicles just have to be better than the average (not terrific) driver, not perfect; and progress recently beggars the progress in previous generations. I'm placing my money on sooner rather than later in this case.
Two things in our universe that are impossible: Modeling chaos and knowing the future.

Economists model chaos and use that model to predict the future.
One of the measures from Dodd-Frank that the current administration wants to roll back is a provision that investment professionals act in the best interest of their clients.

Presumably, they want the option to steer you towards their in house funds that have the highest fees instead of helping you het the max return on your investment.
So some wallstreet moneychanger get's a huge amount of money from citizens and business's forced to use available energy resources. Meanwhile mass deforestation guarantee's not only would mega tons of released carbons would continue to saturate the already supersaturated world's oceans, but global heating would continue. If all factors with carbon, methane gas releases were solved tomorrow, it would still take more than 2 decades (20 Years) for the heated oceans to no longer add massive heat levels to the existing ambient temperatures. With the ongoing Western funded global wars, Nations are simply unable to collaborate on dealing with global heating much less solve even a single issue such as mass desertification, much less ocean acidification which both result from global heating going on now. Moore's Law Pfth, merely spin words for the wallstreet banksters to divert cash to their pockets under the false guise of a greener future for the 90%.
You can definitely still keep a little deep / subconscious superstition without being religious.
I don't think so. What I'm thinking is that "state green cards" would let you live in one state, and your residence will be checked up on periodically. If you don't live there, or if you're found in another state without a visa, you become an illegal immigrant, and fall under the purview of the federal immigration services.

This has very little negative changes- since many/most illegal immigrants are here on overstayed visas (anecdotally, every one of the illegal immigrants I know), and because travelling from a state into inner states is so easy, it doesn't make enforcement particularly harder. Since immigrants have a readily available alternative in the states that want them, stricter enforcement of illegal immigration is much more justifiable.

All this system requires is that the federal government maintains and checks on a list of expanded green card holders (ie non-citizens) that are restricted to certain states. This system is already in place for normal green card holders. If you aren't where you're supposed to be, the feds start looking with you, with the added advantage of having a last known location, picture, description, identifiers, and information about your family and friends. It would be much easier to track people who entered legally, and justifies much stronger controls over illegal entry.

Hypothetical situation: California says "okay we'll take 30,000 Syrian refugees annually". The Feds screen, admit, and register 30,000 Syrians and tell them "Okay, you are not citizens- you can't leave California without a visa, you can't vote, and you might never become citizens. You may live and work in California as long as you pay state and federal taxes, and you can use public education and medicaid (after ten years). You will be tried for a felony if you leave California. We will check with your landlord, check on where you pay taxes, and stop by every 3-6 months to verify where you are". In return the refugees provide everything a normal green card holder does- name, identification, family, location, occupation etc.

Edit: the best argument I've heard against this is the deontological one. Essentially that the feds should be the only ones who control who enters the union, and that since they are the feds they can't contain people in one state. This argument completely disregards the possibility of the feds making deals with states.
There's a separate, parallel system of checking checks. My credit is in very good shape, but there's a company out there that thinks somebody with my name passed a bad check in a state where I don't reside on a bank account that was no longer open when the transaction was made--indeed, the bank itself no longer existed at the time.

I found this out when I went to try to open a joint account with a business partner and got denied. We ended up opening the account at an institution which I already used, instead.
yup - that's unfortunately also a reason why comp is not a linear function of impact.

WHY NOT JUST USE BIOMETRICS AND WIFI TO DETECT MOVEMENT?

Invasive idiocy.
Plenty of people I know were predicting the crash of 2008 at least a year out - sometimes more.

Fortunately, none of them were qualified economists.

Macro is actually pretty straightforward to do.

But economics is politics by other means. It is not a science - it's a branch of rhetoric and persuasion (i.e. propaganda) and is used to disguise and rationalise purely political decisions that would otherwise be impossible to justify.

And where is your proof that Stagefright is actively being exploited? All you did was point to a scaremongering blog post with no data.

According to Adrian Ludwig, Android security director, not 1 Stagefright exploit has ever been seen in the wild according to the telemetry they receive from SafetyNet and the 1.4 billion devices it's installed on.

You mean if pioneering work on the object-oriented, GUI based VM that inspired Jobs and Gates and popular languages like C++, Java, Ruby, Python, etc and the proliferation of virtual machines counts a peripheral influence.

The Smalltalk VM led to Sun working on the Self VM which led to the JVM.
i buy the expensive local eggs at my fancy california grocery store. it's $8 for a dozen. they taste like real eggs, not corn and slime.

i don't expect the $2 eggs company to care about any of the stuff that the $8 eggs company does. i just don't think that's realistic. i just assume they're fucking the chickens over, and the customer over, and themselves over, and that's going to continue as long as people buy $2 eggs -- which they will, forever, because people feel that tug at their stomach when they reach for the $8 ones. i feel it too, even with my techbrodude salary. difference is i buy it anyway, because of $many_reasons.

so i spend my money where i know the chickens aren't getting fucked over, what can i accomplish by worrying about the chickens? it's quicker to spend $8 and the world will be a better version of itself tomorrow (to me).

be the change you want to see in the world. expecting others to operate out of altruism is just not a practical thing to preach.

if i have children, i will advise them not to get college loans, and i will advise them to skip college if that means you need to. i will tell them not to do 10000 other things that are dangerous. that's what parenting is. expecting the world or companies not to try to harm you is insane and irresponsible, in my opinion.

Putin Derangement Syndrome Arrives
A detailed explanation of what this is, for those unaware:

For April Fools' Day this year, Reddit ran a social experiment in which they gave each of their users the ability to paint one 4-bit color pixel on a 1000x1000 grid once every 5 minutes. A new subreddit, /r/place, was created to host the event, which lasted 72 hours. This video is a timelapse of the entire image.

I found this whole thing to be incredibly fascinating. It's pretty amazing to see how everyone just sort of spontaneously banded together to create little works of art on the board which they could never have made on their own. Everytime I watch this timelapse I notice something new.

It's also interesting to note that because the impact of any individual user on the board was pretty limited (you could only place one pixel every 5 minutes, and even then there was no guarantee the first pixel you placed wouldn't be overwritten by someone else before you were even allowed to place another), every significant piece of artwork on there had tens or even hundreds of people involved in creating and maintaining it.

In addition to the various artworks on the board, there were also several major factions scattered throughout the board with their own goals. /r/TheBlueCorner dedicated themselves to filling the empty space in the bottom right corner of the board with blue pixels, while /r/theblackvoid formed to erase various artworks by replacing them with black tiles. If you pay attention you may also notice several other factions in the timelapse.

Other interesting events to note include [the German invasion of France](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ParHJmq2aCs) (and resulting peaceful resolution), [The Void's (unsuccessful) attack on the OSU logo](https://i.imgur.com/Tpmvrcc.gif), and [several factions ganging up to attack the US flag](https://gfycat.com/InfamousShyEeve) while most of the US population was asleep. There's plenty of other stuff you might notice too if you look hard enough. (For example, can you find Waldo?)

[Here's the final result](https://i.imgur.com/ajWiAYi.png). Other interesting stuff to note include [this animated heatmap](https://i.imgur.com/a95XXDz.gifv) by /u/jampekka of activity on the canvas, and [this graphic](https://i.imgur.com/SEHaUSJ.png) by /u/alternateme highlighting all the white pixels which never got touched throughout the experiment.
Prioritize first, then budget out time, then maximize efficiency for time allocated.

Your family comes first. Set a budget of how much time for that, don't budge. You manage the expectations and set the boundaries for others to know your family time is non-negotiable.

Now you have the rest of your time to derive value out of. If say that's 35 or 55 hours left, great. Now your know your base rate.

Optimize that time left, if it's communication, then set up tools and means and discipline yourself to do 1:n communication regularly. If you really think about it, you're now the blogger to a small internal group and professional bloggers have a hellish editorial schedule to keep.

You do too now.

Increase efficiency of time left, if it's 1:1 then setup tools and means so that you're not repeating anything. Document tasks, document process, document everything so that if anyone asks your for information they're routed to a resource available and accessible.

Make your team do this too.

Delegate more. Do all the low hanging fruits, write it down, then give it to someone else. Coach everyone to step up. But at the same time go to bat for them when shit rolls downhill.

Also, accept that it's just going to suck.

In the military world, a 24 yo is given command of 30 to 100 people. Their lives suck. They're the first to get in, last to leave. Last to eat, and always worried about everyone else.

But likewise, they're entrusted to make the decisions and thus get some leeway.

You're still green, it feels bad, it is bad, but you just have to keep at it.

Good luck.
What is the relevance, in this case? The only purpose for that section in Revelations is to warn believers about the Antichrist. There is no moral lesson there, no parable or psalm or tractable humanist lesson - it's just vague symbolism (which probably referred to Nero or the Roman Empire) that leads nowhere, unless you believe in Christian end-times prophecy.
I heard an anecdote at $work where they ordered servers with positively huge RAM (in the TiB range) for big-data applications, then wondered why the storage box was filled up within a few days. Turns out some admin remembered advice from a 90s-era system setup manual that recommended to set swap size = 2 * RAM size.
At least it can be patched, if the equivilent bug occured in a closed source arm SoC driver, it would NEVER be patched.

As it turns out, Republicans and Democrats agree with each other much more than they agree with economists.

https://cclark.gcsu.edu/Survey%20of%20Republicans,%20Democra...

> Republicans and Democrats show identical distributions of responses for 18 propositions (41 percent) while economists and Democrats show identical distributions for 7 propositions (16 percent) and economists and Republicans share identical response distributions for 9 propositions (20 percent). These results suggest a gap between the economic views of the political parties and
economists’ views.
You only get one year with a newborn, and then only one year with a one-year old. If being with him really is the best part of your life, move to something that doesn't demand as much time, unless you really need the money. (Need. Not just want. If being with your newborn is the best part of your life, it's better than the things you can buy with more money.)

It's not "giving up" to decide that something isn't for you. It's knowing yourself, and being honest with yourself.
Hmm. The battery stuff is hard, yes, but only one company has to figure it out. Battery companies sell to everyone. All the battery breakthroughs so far have benefited every EV player. The actual meat-and-potatoes of Tesla's battery tech is actually from Panasonic, who has no problems selling cells to whoever wants to buy.

And EVs are absolutely not zero maintenance, that's just a fantasy. Even in dream-world where we have tires that never need to be replaced and no oil changes, batteries are always going to be a large part of the car's cost and only last a few hundred charge cycles.

Our engineers build systems that catch bad guys. Using all available payment, user, and machine data, we have to separate legitimate credit card transactions from fraudulent in under 400ms. That means doing just-in-time mash-ups of internal data with external APIs and reducing it all into a single score with a few critical insights for end-users.

To solve this problem, we're looking for world-class engineers who are eager to learn, adopt, and contribute to a reactive style of programming.

Our stack:
Java, Python, Cassandra, MySQL, Solr, Apache Spark, Play! framework, Linux, Docker, AWS

Signifyd was recently named In Forbes 50 Most Innovative Fintech Companies
Oh yes, absolutely. We have laws banning outright fraud, setting minimum food safety standards, a lot of rules about packaging and labelling. And that's good!

But we don't have any laws or expectation that a food vendor is going to be acting in my best interests. If I want to spend my rent money on 87 large pepperoni pizzas, nobody is going to arrest the guy who took my order because he didn't sit down and have a 30 minute session with me to ensure that my order was in my best interests, fit within my budget, and would improve my life. All we do is make sure that I 1) have the money 2) get my pizzas and 3) they aren't poisonous or mislabelled.

The difference between "you can't blatantly lie" and "you have a fiduciary duty to act in your client's best interests" is enormous.
