About Q

Managed by Q is on a mission to make the world work better. Growing from a small room above a garment factory in NYC’s Chinatown in 2014, today we power thousands of offices across New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

The tools we’re building enable office teams to seamlessly run their workspaces while also empowering service providers and small businesses to flourish.

Software Engineer:

You will be responsible for making engineering design decisions and developing features that support our technical and product strategy.

We follow best practices, to ensure we’re writing clean, tested, and scalable code.

What we are looking for:

-We take a generalist approach to hiring. We’re looking for smart engineers who are problem solvers and passionate about their craft
-4+ years experience building software or web applications
Doesn’t matter what language, just a focus on writing well designed code (our stack is JavaScript, Python, MySQL, and PostgreSQL)
But then, the whole cold war madness, of which the Vietnam debacle was one sorry outgrowth, was the very thing that fueled the space race.
For most users, I would say yes. Of course they want it to be as seamless and simple as possible to connect to information.

Tethering is hardly a second thought for most people who are comfortable with the technology, but you're forgetting most of the rest of the world here, as well as a lot of people outside the tech realm. Never mind people who currently live outside of high-speed wired internet zones -- with cell coverage reaching further than wired zones lately I'd consider the option a boon to connectivity.

I fail to see the real downside to the public. Maybe you can elucidate further.
While I should clarify that I don't care in the slightest, I did find it interesting that they decided to use a Bill O'Reilly quote to title the post, given all of the controversy around him lately. Not that I think it is offensive, I just think it's interesting to consider which companies would do that and which ones wouldn't
What do you think editor means? Isn't this exactly what an editor normally does after the author dies or abandons a project? Puts the notes and completed sections together, fills in gaps, rearranges and, tweaks for continuity and tone, and publishes?

Case in point: in the Washington Post story regarding Jared Kushners attempts to bypass government oversight of diplomatic negotiations with Russia, both WaPo and NYT both received comments from Kushner confidants alleging these contacts were intended to facilitate cooperation of military actions in Syria. WaPo refused to publish these comments unless they could specify that they were Kushner confidants speaking in his defense. NYT had no such qualms, instead allowing these partisans to be presented as anonymous neutral parties, in exchange for their continued access.

Allowing Kushner to present his spin as neutral is a de facto false equivalence and shifting the 'objective' reality, which other organizations (WaPo) who practice investigative journalism, as opposed to access journalism, refused to allow themselves to be used for.
Autonomous Ships Are on Their Way
Everything in Windows has keyboard shortcuts, not so on Linux and MacOS (e.g. you can't open a random menu item with the keyboard).
Either I've been introduced to a new meaning of the term of you are mistaken about the meaning. I'm going to look it up. Perhaps I could persuade you to do the same.

Also, by wording it as "extreme", it becomes a bit difficult to have a debate. Doing "too much" of anything is by definition more than what is harmless.

In the case from the context above, one interpretation is just people's desire for privacy. I'd also say that by giving it a name with a negative connotation we are pressuring the people who have preferences that can be described as asocial to be more like the others and that I believe is unfair.
Evan You is a fantastic developer. He understands that libraries are not solely about what they do; they are also about the API you present to the developer. Interacting with Vue feels natural. I don't really know any other way to describe it. I've been working with React on my latest job for nearly a year now, and I still run into strange little gotchas and difficult concepts(I'm looking at you `componentWillReceiveProps` with an ajax call). I have never run into these types of issues while using Vue.
>Can I create a video and post it on my private youtube channel, as a private individual?

Yes.

>Can I spend $10 million creating the youtube video, if I have that much money as a private individual?

Yes. However, if it turns out that those ten million were gathered from other friends, explicitly in the goal to make this video without disclosing your donors or ignoring the caps, you should be fined and be made unelectable for multiple years.

>Can I organize a group of 10 friends to each spend $1 million on the youtube video?

Not if that video is part of your campaign, because then the amount each person can donate is capped.

>Can I organize 1 million people to spend $10 each on said video?

Yes.

The only real problem in those four is the third. Because it is infinitely easier to organize only ten friends to donate one million to your campaign than to organize one million people, especially if you're already in the category of people that can afford to blow ten millions like that.

As a bonus, at least having one million people donating to you demonstrates that you actually have people following you.
"Sam Altman has said that the only criterion Y Combinator uses to evaluate applying companies is, “Can this be a $10 billion plus company?” like Airbnb and Dropbox. "

I would have thought there would be no way to predict this when looking at the initial barebones product from a few hackers building something that barely works.

If Sam can do this consistently he is a genius. Except maybe Amazon, I can't think of a single company I would have identified as "having the potential to grow into a 10 billion dollar company" in its initial form. :-(
I thought that was part of the fun
>We can achieve much of the carbon capture we need to by changing the way we do agriculture.

Based on your usage of "much" in this sentence and then detailed plans around crops, there must be some studies that quantify this to some degree. However, in my searching, I haven't found any such studies. Do you happen to have any favorites? Perhaps I need to dig into some of the IPCC references on land usage next.

>> My favorite anti-portfolio example is Airbnb. Michael Siebel (Y Combinator Core CEO) emailed me their deck before they joined Y Combinator and I couldn’t help but think “Wow, air mattress rental? That’s a terrible idea!”

What's baffling is how people who can come up with such a silly idea can also come up with such a great idea as AirBnb. Without the immense help from YC, I'm sure they wouldn't have gone anywhere.
Do you sponsor international interns for a visa?
Or Google + would have taken off and there would be even less competition.
Somewhat naive questions, as I know very little about astronomy. Do black holes "move?" How is it that they could merge if they're stationary, unless they're pulling each other in I guess? If black holes are indeed pulling in everything, does that mean the whole universe would eventually be one giant black hole?

Student protests really scare older Chinese because they remember the reign of terror that the Red Guard kids perpetuated during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s.
You mean that same dossier of which broad swaths were verified by the intelligence community to have been correct?
"The announcement was made by Bin Sultan during a presentation at the 11 Best Police Practices Forum held in Dubai."
"Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho also attended the forum" WTF?
> Javascript parsing technology will go down in history as ultimately the biggest waste of time that mankind ever indulged in, all because no one stood up and questioned if this language was even a good fit in the first place.

Javascript, in its current ES2016 version, is a pretty good and powerful language. ES2015 is also fine.

The problem is that most JS code out there has been done in the older versions of Javascript (pre-ES2015), which is really a terrible language (doesn't even have clean and clear variable scoping!).

Yearly surcharge is a great idea, maybe https://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/cdot/supp_info/d... documents, though seems too cheap ($100, $200 in central business district).

SF sadly does not have this http://sf.streetsblog.org/2009/01/30/concrete-giveaway-free-... and still being studied last year according to http://www.sfcta.org/sites/default/files/content/Planning/Pa...
No, the time/effort to make a build with a working CI system is zero, plus any activities that remain manual by design (e.g. installations that require physical access to the server).
The uncertainty is only about the feasibility and cost of implementing CI: this is one of the rare cases in which the benefits of software can be measured objectively, easily and in advance.
Is it though? All the meaningful currencies in use today, that I can think of at least, are blessed and regulated quite heavily by governments. Maybe this is a bit of a theory vs real world question.
I think there is. The original author was consulting at the time it was written and he released the book right at ES6 took headwind. Another contributor has a fork and they are currently working to get the book up to date with ES6. Once that is done I am sure they will move on to part 5.

The irony of a book called "You Don't Know JS" not in fact intended for people who don't know JS. :)
Couple notes about cProfile

- The slowdown is difficult to predict and somewhat unstable; never compare timings from runs with/without cProfile

- It's a deterministic, wall-clock profiler

- pyprof2calltree & kcachegrind.

- Loading a profile file = arbitrary code execution. Don't ever load a profile file you did not generate yourself.
I'm really into being organized at work. Also a fan of using the cloud for everything. I keep my files in Google Drive and use 1Password for keeping track of all my accounts.

What I don't enjoy is using a separate service for every little thing. One for todo's, a different one for CRM, etc. Also not a fan of spreadsheets. I just can't get them to do what I want. I was looking for something simple like a database in my browser. Something with tables and columns that I could customize to fit my use-case. I'm a bit of a builder so I built it. It's exactly what I needed and use it daily to organize everything.

Will do a little write up soon on how I use it for a personal CRM with my exported Linked contacts. It's really easy to use the "Import" function to get my data into Bell+Cat
Threelly – Table of Content for YouTube Videos
http://www.threelly.com
The Threelly platform allows content creators and curators to slice lengthy YouTube videos into bit size pieces easy for consumption. Books come with a table of content. We are bringing that table of content to YouTube videos.
Well that's because things not based on empirical observation are not science.
yeah there are speculation bubbles, which correct and if you are trying to profit off of the waves you can get bit... sure this one needs a correction... but so does my 401k. It's hard to call this tulip mania anymore... the overall price has been going almost uniformly up on bitcoin for over 4 years now.

The price of USD has gone down steadily since its inception.

I don't think you can say it's "near worthless" to keep your value in an appreciating medium rather than a depreciating one..

My bitcoins are probably not worth the $2400 they traded at today... but they are definitely worth more than the $400 of USD they used to be (now worth $376 USD2013).

"faster than QEMU" isn't a particularly high bar to clear, though. In particular if you're only emulating a single process rather than a full guest OS then you can reduce the overhead quite a bit. Plus if you design something from the start for the single-process emulation case, and only need to worry about one guest and one host architecture, and focus on emulation performance as a key goal, you can likely do better than QEMU without too much trouble.

The ei sounds like a long a, so it's closer to aging.
They're all stagnating. Nim for Python & Crystal for Ruby are the logical steps forward to get speed (GCC & LLVM respectively for compilers).
What about http://exploringjs.com books? Somebody can comment about?
Creating and securing your first CakePHP app
Probably because you use react everyday at work...
Nope, just a major subway-bus transfer in the Toronto west-end. Materials used look like leftovers from a 1970s apartment complex construction site. I think even the worst NYC stations have at least some interesting tile or signage preserved from when the original station was built giving it some character even if it's not well-lit or feels too claustrophobic.
I fully agree that people should stop doing that when making blogs, but you can hardly demand that people stop submitting interesting content just because said contact has been hijacked by hyperactive designers/service providers.

Boycotting a technology you don't like is ineffective unless it's monopolized and there a single provider on whom to focus the boycott efforts. Extensions that filter out such annoyances (like adblockers) are somewhat effective but result in arms races. Subversion through 3rd party tagging or the creation of other undesirable second-order effects seems like the best strategy. Perhaps someone with more technical knowledge could come up with better suggestions.

It's a valid problem, which I encourage you to consider, write up, and submit in its own right.
