San Francisco, CA / REMOTE OK in the US | Experienced Full Stack Rails Developer | Stitchfix | Full-time

Hello, we're continuing to do a ton of hiring at Stitchfix, but specifically I'm hiring a developer to join my small team - "Better Data Engineering". We are a small team that is responsible for Stitchfix's famous "Style Profile", and other similar data intensive customer facing features. We work closely with the Data Science team, and our goal is always to serve our customers better using the information they provided while not being creepy :-)

Stitchfix is a clothing / style personalization service.
Search Instagram for #stitchfix, which will tell you a whole lot about us, how much our customers love us and you'll get an idea of our business. Come back when you're done.

Oh - also we've been really successful with all of this:

* Last time we raised $ was $25 million back in 2014
* We havent gone back for more $ since
* We just did $730 million in annual sales (up for $230M last year)
* We're profitable!

You can reach out directly to me (gal at stitchfix.com) - I'm a Principal Engineer at Stitchfix and the hiring manager for this position. Here is a job posting roughly covering this role:

https://www.stitchfix.com/careers?gh_jid=455296&gh_src=r8m5v

...and Stitch Fix's "Multithreaded" Tech Jobs blog & site (http://technology.stitchfix.com) has a lot more about the team and other positions (we’re also hiring iOS, DevOps, and UX)
"... but the operator of that resolver..."

The operator of the resolver cache is supposed to be the user, not some third party (e.g., OpenDNS/Cisco, etc.).

IOW, the cache is meant to be running on the user's computer not some third party computer (e.g., OpenDNS/Cisco, etc.).

Using remote (i.e. third party) recursive resolver caches has never been recommended. If anyone is recommending that then they are ignoring the advice of the original author.

(There are other reasons to use a local cache, even if not to encrypt outgoing queries, e.g., it reduces/eliminates the risk of cache poisoning.)

If you look, you may find there are implementations that did follow the author's advice, e.g., a resolver that only accepts queries from 127.x.x.x.

What is missing to have a complete encrypted DNS solution? Authoritative nameservers that implement the system.

The recursive part of the system already works. It is controlled locally by users.

Authoritative nameservers for www sites however are run by third parties. Cooperation is needed.

As for TLS, there may be an alternative encryption solution forthcoming. Similar to encrypted DNS, it will be a small program running on the user's computer that encrypts outgoing packets. An ssl wrapper sort of like stunnel but better. It will not rely on establishing an "encrypted tunnel" like TLS. It will encrypt each packet separately.
48 experienced negative growth in the period, actually. You can take a look at the complete dataset in CSV format (https://gitlab.com/subverter/cryptocurrency-growth/raw/maste...) to see which they are.
It actually goes a bit beyond type coercion. Larry Wall is a linguist. The language is actually contextual. There's numeric vs. string context for scalars and scalar vs. list context for assignments and returns.

The list of features is impressive, but taken together all at once can be daunting. I think that's why there's so much distaste for it in certain camps. It's actually possible in a function to test whether the caller wants a single value or a list and adjust your return accordingly. It has anonymous functions. It has closures. It has map() and sort(), either of which apply a custom block of code to a list. You can easily write user-supplied functions that do that, too. It has dictionaries / associative arrays (called "hashes" in the community since that's how they are implemented), regular arrays, scalar values, and a number of different object systems from which to choose.
> It seems a lot of people in this thread are blaming Plex for their own low-quality hardware and/or lack of knowledge.

Plex crashes constantly on my Roku. (This may no longer be true, as I haven't touched it in a year because it crashes so much). That's not low quality hardware, it's bad app.

I expect a dedicated hardware device for streaming videos that can stream Netflix, Hulu, Sling, etc, to be able to stream Plex.

WTF? Is that a challenge? Expect me!
You've ever been to one of those pages that embed Facebook's comment engine? Yeah, those are the worst. I did some analysis on a random page with just three Facebook comments. Requests to Facebook's servers accounted for 1.5 MB of the 2.4 MB tranfered by the ENTIRE page. 87 network requests, 35 javascript files injected and it didn't even load all the comments! (I had to click on a "Load more comments" button to load the rest of the comments.)

Why the hell do you need 37 javascript files and 1.5 MB to load three comments?

Marketing Attribution | Lead and Senior Data Engineer and Lead Frontend Engineer | Evanston, IL (with telecomute days) | Full Time | On Site | http://marketingattribution.com

Marketing Attribution was founded and is run by Ross-boy Link, a seasoned statistician and entrepreneur who’s been doing data science since before the term was coined. Ross continues to actively participate in the development of the product given his background in analytics and you’ll see him sling some Python to experiment with a new way to crunch numbers.

We develop and support highly automated analytical software that uses cloud-based statistical analysis of large marketing datasets to measure the incremental sales that result from various media, allocate marketing spend to the most efficient media, and connect to media buying systems to execute media buys.

In short, we take the client’s sales and marketing data, run analytics on it (our secret sauce), and from those results, tell the client where they should start and/or stop spending on marketing (TV, Radio, Internet etc.).

We're hiring our first engineers (#2, #3, and #4). Full description at:

- Lead Data Engineer (http://marketingattribution.com/jobs/lead-data-engineer)

- Senior Data Engineer (http://marketingattribution.com/jobs/senior-data-engineer)

- Lead Frontend Engineer (http://marketingattribution.com/jobs/lead-frontend-engineer)

You're coming in on the ground floor. This is an entirely greenfield project with no legacy code to maneuver around. You'll be responsible for building everything from the ground up.

> Why is it bad to admit that?

Because it's fuel for lawsuits by other people, as it admits that Tesla's hiring and promotion has been based on special treatment and not qualification, and implies (though does not explicitly state) that that was gender-based.

It's also bad because it tells investors that Tesla's hiring is based on special treatment and not ability to do the job. (And, on top of that, that Tesla's management is irresponsible enough to admit that publicly.)

Yeah, implementing a Vault client in the browser is just asking for trouble. Currently, I am copy-pasting into the browser, which has two obvious vulnerabilities: the clipboard, which is accessible to everything, and the login page, which could be running an XSS exploit.

Perhaps we could eliminate both problems, by handling authentication outside of the browser, and then injecting an auth cookie into a new browser tab?

1. `curl site.com/login` to get the login form as HTML
2. Extract the form submission URL and the name of the user/pass fields
3. Pipe a key from Vault, to a URL encoded HTTPS POST request (curl again)
4. Receive the resulting session cookie and the login-success URL from the login response
5. Insert or replace this cookie into Firefox's jar
6. Open a new browser tab to the login-success URL

This way, the browser never sees the password, and the clipboard never holds it. The session cookie is still just as vulnerable as ever, but is of a lower value, assuming that it alone does not grant the ability to change the user's password or PW recovery email address. The entire sequence could be scripted into an `authenticate my-user@site.com` command, which would depend on a connected Vault client (or some other backend scheme). I have no idea if this would work on mobile operating systems, it might not be possible to write to the FF cookie jar from another app.

Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Paris, Dublin, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Seoul | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have a knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.

More about the role is available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/life/solutions-engineering-... .

Facebook | Solutions Engineering Manager | Berlin | Onsite

We also have a great opportunity for an engineering manager that would like to support a team in Berlin. You would support a distributed team, so some travel would be required. Roughly half the time would be spent on people management, with the other half on Solutions Engineering work.

We are looking for someone fluent in German.

We will consider a very experienced tech lead that would like to make the transition into people management.

If you would like to apply or have any questions, feel free to send me an email at rcheng@fb.com .

Uber is apparently already profitable in the US. Does anyone know if Lyft is? If it is not, then that would suggest that Lyft is more guilty than Uber of subsidizing rides in order to win market share.

2016 numbers:

Lyft Revenue: $700 million
Lyft Losses: $600 million
Uber Revenue: $6 billion
Uber Losses: $2.8 billion

The ratio of revenue to losses suggest that Uber is almost twice as efficient as Lyft, and Uber's losses are probably further compounded as it includes many more future investments such as international markets that aren't yet as mature as the US market, and products/services that for which Lyft has no comparable offering like UberRush and UberEats. Lyft also doesn't have any investment in self-driving cars that I'm aware of.
How to sell a small business?
This isn't tech related, but given the HN audience might have good advice on selling a business.

My mom has been running a small business for 40+ years and her health is getting to the point where she need to retire. It's a single location, small staff, but it's reasonably successful. It has ups & downs based on economic cycles (she sells flooring), but also has years were she profits $200-$400k, which goes pretty far in a town with low costs of living.

She's reluctant to face the prospect of closing the store (it's part of her identity), but slowly coming around it. She figured she would just close the doors & that's it.

However, it seems like that would be leaving a lot of money on the table.

We've talked about selling the business, but it's really hard to figure out how to do so. A friend suggested talking to SCORE but that didn't go anywhere. Google searches for selling a company points me to people who do valuations & brokers, but they give off a strong used car salesmen vibe.

Anyone been through this or have advice?

How do we convince home owners in Cupertino, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Atherton, etc that BART down the peninsula won't "bring inner city crime" to their perfect neighborhood?
