Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Unlimited all have their own websites.

SegWit was first proposed by Pieter Wuille, a core developer. And it's supported by many core developers several of which who work at Blockstream.

Bitcoin Unlimited is currently running ads on Reddit and elsewhere to encourage people to use it.

The two main supporters of Bitcoin Unlimited are Roger Ver and Jihan Wu, who owns Bitmain. Jihan's company manufacturers the most successful ASICs for bitcoin and litecoin. They've invested hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoin mining operations.

Roger Ver also has recently launched a cloud mining service on Bitcoin.com which many view as a scam. This is weeks after speaking on camera while deleting an old tweet criticizing Bitclub, a similar MLM cloud hashing service. This speaks to Roger's judgement especially after his Mt. Gox video.

Several dirty tactics have been employed by both sides.

Roger, Jihan and Bitcoin Unlimited proposes to create a President of Bitcoin and some confederation. Jihan on twitter stated he misunderstood the open source community:

"I regretted one thing. In China, open source culture is not popular. I did not understand it. We put too less or 0 money into community."

Segregated Witness does fix transaction malleability which has been a problem for 3+ years.

Nick Szabo, Adam Back (CEO of Blockstream) and 8+ bitcoin core developers support SegWit.

Yes Blockstream has taken $65 million in venture capital, which should be questioned, but Bitman has hundreds of millions invested.

I am unsure who to trust but it's a much more complicated situation than your comment suggests.

Swift Navigation | San Francisco Bay Area | Infrastructure+Embedded Software Jobs | VISA

Swift Navigation is looking for firmware and infrastructure software engineers
to work with us on high-accuracy GPS receivers (https://github.com/swift-nav/).
We've shipped the world's first low-cost, multi-constellation, inch-accurate
satellite navigation receiver for autonomous vehicle applications. Questions?
Email Buro (mookerji@swiftnav.com). Apply at https://jobs.lever.co/swift-nav.

+ Firmware (Production embedded programming on the Zynq platform, FPGA-based
DSP, C, C++, Python, VHDL, embedded Linux).

+ Web and internal platform infrastructure (front ends, rear ends, services,
production programming, Haskell, Python, JS, C++, containerized distributed
workflows, etc. etc. etc.).

+ Software infrastructure team lead, preferably with experience in building
highly-available, real time sensor products and analytics platforms.

Our interviews have a few steps: an intro phone call, technical phone screen or
take home problem, and an onsite. Our technical interviews aim to fairly assess
your skills and also preview our own day-to-day work.

Satellite navigation is a rich problem space! Our 45 (??!) person group in the
Civic Center neighborhood of San Francisco is spread across analog/RF/digital
hardware design and embedded systems, statistics, satellite navigation,
functional programming, and web infrastructure. Our work is highly
interdisciplinary with an environment emphasizing effective communication,
collaboration, and inclusion with a flexible working policy.
CockroachDB supports the PostgreSQL wire protocol, but does it support JSONB and GIN indexes?
On the other hand, if porting our app to Java9+Jigsaw requires us to wait a year (because breakage with maven), costs like half a year to a year (I know our codebase), while upgrading our application servers (because classloading) and possibly re-doing a lot of the build process at the same time... I'll have to support Java8 for just about forever.

That upgrade wouldn't happen, or it would be really nasty. I'll rather tolerate a standard library with a lot of bollocks in there and provide security around it.

Oh yes, OPNsense. Those sure are some philosophical and practical differences. Differences as in:

- code theft
- copyright abuse
- attempt to steal pfSense trademark in Europe
- toxic project members who publicly attack anyone who dares to point out issues (including assault on all major pfSense developers).
- hiding serious vulnerabilities
- downplaying serious vulnerabilities

Oh yes, that's a very different project. I documented most of it here https://www.reddit.com/r/OPNscam/
No, not really. Top-line centers are usually the most valuable player on a team, followed by other scoring forwards. Scoring is a premium in the NHL, which means that a very good scorer is harder to replace than a good defensive player, all else equal.

If you want to sacrifice throughput for latency (and you probably don't), use a collector designed for it, like Go's collector or Azul C4. Pervasive thread safe RC sacrifices more throughput than those collectors while simultaneously not actually guaranteeing anything about latency. It's really the worst of all worlds except for implementation simplicity.

Unfortunately, unless you rewrite history, it'll stay in there and bloat the download for anyone who wants to clone the repo.

I don't know if I want to recommend rewriting history or not. But for what it's worth, I'm currently on a cellular connection and couldn't download something this size if I wanted.
If we only allowed people to load pfSense on hw that we sell,or have sold, you would have a point.

Since we don't even attempt same, my point stands.
do you typically remember everything you read without applying it? why not try practicing the exercises on a regular basis (say, 5-7 days / week) for a few weeks, using the article to remind you of the forms and technique, and then check back in regarding both your ability to recall, and anything else you are noticing from engaging in this practice?
This fork is based upon a very old version of RoboVM - the last that was open sourced. RoboVM/Microsoft wouldn't even release the most up to date version before shutting it down.

This is probably true of a quarterback, but it's not generally true of hockey goalies. You'd much rather build your team around Sidney Crosby than any goalie to ever play the game.
I do like how these landings are becoming more routine. They're making it seem like a piece of cake now. I don't think I'll get as excited again until the Falcon Heavy maiden launch.
This doesn't address closures vs objects at all.
Consider:

- Write the algorithm out.

- Extract all the decision points.

- Pay legal interns to collect all the data, apply the data to the decision points.

- Produce a report.

- Produce a recommendation.

- The judge sentences based on that process.

And now tell the defense that they have no right to any knowledge about the above process. Not the decision points, and not what data was fed to what decision, and not even what the data was.

If you can't release that information to the defense because of trade secrets, then, it seems to me, it's not appropriate as a sentencing tool.

Of course, IANAL.
Are you still doing consulting? I find that the upside of consulting is that there is a well defined finish line before you are deployed.

When you land in a role that has no finish line, it kind of removes the benefit of being a consultant.
And don't forget that "design" doesn't just mean estethics. Design is also usability, maintainability etc. Good product design makes a product easy to use too, not just nice to look at.
Given the level of detail in the Australian article (or what we can see quoted from it; the original seems to be not easily available at the moment), and FB's past behavior[2], I'm not sure I believe their denial at this stage, quite frankly. We'll know for sure when the original presentation that the article refers to inevitably leeks out in full.

[1] According to the Australian, the data available to advertisers includes a young user’s relationship status, location, number of friends on the platform and how often they access the site on mobile or desktop. The newspaper reported that Facebook also has information on users who are discussing “looking good and body confidence” and “working out & losing weight”.

The thing to do is flag the comments that don't belong on HN and post substantively on the topic at hand (or not at all).
It seems to me like this is a natural thing to happen in a political system where a large minority is sufficient to block changes, but not pursue changes that they prefer. If the minority wants to have their concerns heard, they are incentivized to block changes that the majority wanted as leverage.

You can't measure it before you join, just as they can't measure your effectiveness before you join. The best you can do is hit the eject button after 6 months after you've assessed what's really going on. Same goes for the employer's side.
All forwards-compatibility issues were only "theoretical" issues that didn't "matter in practice" until a new release of the platform came out and suddenly they did.

I finally took the step to consciously stop visiting reddit this week. I've replaced it with another forum specific to a new subject I'm trying to learn as my go to distraction place. It's only been a few days but if it goes anything like Slashdot and Digg after it in a week or two I'll forget to ever look.

It got to the point where it felt like I was going on reddit to be annoyed. I'd go to subreddits where I knew I would heavily disagree with the opinions, I'd read SRD, all this stuff that was just entirely negative.

The only problem with avoiding reddit is that on a lot of topics when you search for something reddit comes up frequently in the search requests.
Homelight | Software Engineer | San Francisco | ONSITE | fulltime | https://www.homelight.com/about-us#careers

Current Interview Process: quick chat, engineering phone screen, onsite, team lunch, reference check, offer.

HomeLight is creating the best way for home buyers and sellers to find the best real estate agent using objective data about real estate agent performance. We're continually working on our matching algorithm (machine learning & data science) and currently working on some big initiatives to improve how home buyers and sellers and agents interact with homelight and with each other (mobile apps, new product features, etc.)

We're a small team of 7 engineers. Our stack is Ruby on Rails(4.2), and Postgresql(9.6) hosted on Heroku. The front end is using Ember. We've got reasonable test coverage with rspec.

Tasks are reasonably defined, and its normal to push back on tasks to determine the business value in our work. We're not just a feature factory, we care about the value delivered in what we build. As engineers, we have an enormous amount of latitude in the implementation details of our work.
Because we're small, you're going to need to know the full stack. You're going to have to write javascript here, sorry.

I applied via the link on the careers page, but if you have any questions, you can email me at evan@homelight.com. When you apply, make sure to mention you saw this hackernews post.
The buses that they are currently using hold just over 50 people. I made a very conservative guess for how many people would leave the existing bus service. There are more than 10 bus trips each morning down Interstate 93 that could be considered "commuter" (400-500 people): http://bostonexpressbus.com/images/stories/schedules/I93.pdf

There are similar bus schedules from the next city over to the west, Nashua, down Route 3 and another similar schedule from the next city over to the east, Portsmouth. There are additional bus companies that service different cities and towns in Massachusetts. However, they all go to the bus station on the south side of the city.

You would have to lease the buses. The drivers would be the most expensive part of the model, though. There is a shortage of people with commercial licences in this area. The drivers can make anywhere from $45K-$60K per year in salary (not counting benefits). Brijd had already purchased shuttles/buses and had drivers. The Brijd buses were much smaller - probably 25 to 30 seats. But, had they discovered the potential business model early enough they could have bought different vehicles. There is enough demand in the area to deploy double decker buses (80-100 seats). I, and probably many others, would pay a significant premium over the existing $315/month to load/unload on the north side of the city and avoid the additional hour of commute and MBTA subway pass costs.

It would be much more difficult that a cloud based software start-up due to the capital outlays. But, it could definitely be done and be profitable.
Not yet. On the roadmap though.
I had a similar stint helping teams with system performance issues. I think I found it so enjoyable for two reasons:

1) Solving the problems involved the focused exercising of all of my software dev knowledge – often around database access, sometimes around garbage collection and memory allocation of the specific platform.

2) The impact was highly visible and appreciated (by the team, management, and system users), and the result was usually objectively measurable, e.g., the global search now completes in 1/50th of the previous time.

That said, when I reflect on the 10 or so projects I helped in this time, they were all problems the senior dev(s) on the team could have figured out. So, it wasn't really that I was some rockstar who had special knowledge. It was more that I was given time to focus on the issues, while the regular devs on the team had bugs to fix, features to work on, etc.

Like you, I now work for myself, but if I were offered a job doing small-medium performance optimization projects (without travel), that would be tempting.

Give me a break, we supposed to protect the weak teenagers not sell them to advertisers for exploitation. They are vulnerable they need support at this time not the lucid loop of facebook. This is sad news.

Also about your "keep track of what's going on in the lives of ..", just call your friends to find out what is going on in their life. People normally don't post everything on facebook. I think its a great service if you want to know what's going on in Kim Kardashian life.

ANI/Plaid reminded me of the LabVIEW visual dataflow language, which is quite widely used in the branch of physics I used to work in, for data acquisition and instrument control. While I've often longed for a text-based alternative that plays better with modern version control and my favorite text editors, I have to say that having everything laid out for you in a visual way does make it easier to reason about the execution flow. That is, after a few years of working with it --- initially, this paradigm shift was rather a painful stretch of the nerves.

If every language has its own specific dark patterns and bottlenecks, LabVIEW's is definitely the "brightly-colored spaghetti" structural breakdown of an advanced beginner's code :-)

Incidentally, why do we, as programmers, tend to focus on a language's bottlenecks so much, in such an emotionally charged way? Any psychology-of-programming people out here? You might consider LabVIEW an excellent case study in getting on people's nerves...
Your guide mentions setting window size and taking screenshots, which I thought were not currently working via chromedriver. Do you know if that was fixed or is there something else going on?

1. That is true, I have 1 patent to my name and 1 pending but I do not understand software/opensouce particulars.

2. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=blockstream+patents

3. If they need to pay more to transact one particular crypto they will be less likely to do so, right? If one item is taxed but an identical one is not, you go with the cheaper one.

4 (your 5). Yes, also true, but this is their pièce de ré·sis·tance, the grand coop we have been building to, copyrighted code in Bitcoin, and they have shown us how to get there through their past actions this last 2 years.

5 (your 6). Yes, a hard fork is simple, once you get more than 50% of the power on the network, you make a transaction that ONLY the upgraded nodes can "see", done. Everyone that "sees the TX" in on the new network, everyone else is no, period.

Soft forking is essentially the same except it allows the devs to say that their version is Backward Compatible, and thus does not "force" anyone to switch. This (of course we should know by now) is not true, and anyone one a SewWit network trying to use the classic Bitcoin would be able to spend ANY transaction and it would be pointless. So, it is marketing bottom line.

Among the other topics here, I've found keyboards to be too narrow for myself. I kinda need to put some weird tension on my elbows in order to use a laptop keyboard properly.

From there, getting a Kinesis Freestyle was an amazing investment. It seems silly, but the ability to position your keyboard so you don't have to bend your wrists outwards, and so you don't have to put some tension on your elbows is amazing, especially with wide shoulders and long arms.

And yes, on top of that, arm rests are the devil.
