Square (Caviar) | Software Engineers | San Francisco, CA |ONSITE | https://www.trycaviar.com https://www.squareup.com

Caviar is growing and we need excellent engineers to help bring great food everywhere. We are building a food ordering platform that enables the best restaurants to serve food through delivery and pickup, and that's just the beginning.

We have a number of roles that we think you'd be great for. We have need for engineers that are looking to make an impact on a fast growing product, to take ownership of existing and new products, to redefine Caviar architecture and execute on it, and to work with us to unlock that next step-function product or feature.

Caviar is hugely impactful to Square. Take a look at the 2017Q1 Shareholder Letter (https://s21.q4cdn.com/114365585/files/doc_financials/2017/Sq...) and see how much we are featured. We're growing fast and need you to help continue that growth.

This is exactly what gives me hope when I post a sideproject here or on reddit and it is either met with radio silence or active resistance. I'm starting to suspect that horses don't actually like water.
New Server Hardware Boosts Data-Crunching for AI, Cloud
Well, in deference to the dramatic title, there are also negative consequences and not only those positive ones.

For instance: It seems logical that the average quality of science goes down when peer-reviewing is optional. Likewise, corrections and redactions are not guaranteed to take place.

The real game change will be if/when pirate publishers force traditional publishers to drop their profit models, and the best of both worlds can be achieved.
I once had my little Honda CRX almost up to 110 mph on an empty highway one late night in Nevada. (I might've made it with a tailwind!) Pretty exciting. Not something I'd want to do for an extended period of time. Car journalist David E. Davis claimed he had fun driving the same car on the Autobahn, however.
Vitalik has conceded this was a mistake and has stated he will no longer have any formal role in outside ethereum businesses. He also stated that he was not paid for any of these advisory positions he held.
Sure, if that what you believe you should fight for it just like other people who think that using personal information for advancement of science is ok will fight for it.

I like to say that "calories in/out is true" in the same way that "abstinence is the only 100% effective form of birth control" is true: it's an obviously true statement that, in practice, is useless at best and dangerously counterproductive at worst.

You do realize that typing such things generally assumes to include a way of replacing text sequences by characters? Instead of typing W_δ₁ρ₁σ₂ you can just as well write W_(\delta_1 \rho_1 \sigma_2), which brings it much closer to LaTeX again, if that's your thing. I find the Unicode version much easier to read, though, especially since it contains little markup beyond the actual characters appearing in the equation. And just to add a counterpoint to your experience here, I found this format to be much easier to type than LaTeX with fewer errors, even going as far as typing along on the fly in some math lectures in uni. There might just be a lot of bias what someone is used to and comfortable with.
I’ve always liked troff/eqn, which had a focus on human readable equation input. Here’s that example in eqn: verbose but very natural, almost how you would say it out loud.

.EQ
W sub {delta sub 1 rho sub 1 sigma sub 2} sup {3 beta} =
U sub {delta sub 1 rho sub 1} sup {3 beta} +
1 over {8 pi sup 2} int from alpha sub 1 to alpha sub 2 d alpha prime sub 2
left [ { U sub {delta sub 1 rho sub 1} sup {2 beta} -
alpha prime sub 2 U sub {rho sub 1 sigma sub 2} sup {1 beta} }
over U sub {rho sub 1 sigma sub 2} sup {0 beta} right ]
.EN

Even better if you use a little bit of Unicode (which any modern troff supports):

.EQ
W sub {δ sub 1 ρ sub 1 σ sub 2} sup {3 β} =
U sub {δ sub 1 ρ sub 1} sup {3 β} +
1 over {8 pi sup 2} int from α sub 1 to α sub 2 d α prime sub 2
left [ { U sub {δ sub 1 ρ sub 1} sup {2 β} - α prime sub 2 U sub {ρ sub 1 σ sub 2} sup {1 β} }
over U sub {ρ sub 1 σ sub 2} sup {0 β} right ]

You just invoked the misleading "brain as a computer" metaphor. I know, it wasn't intentional, and you probably didn't mean it in the way most people would understand the term, but do give the article the benefit of the doubt that these concepts are such commonplaces in our spoken language that they can affect our thinking if we're not careful.

The unexplained parameters are the factors of the Drake equation:

The number of civilizations, N, is assumed to be equal to the mathematical product of

- the average rate of star formation, R∗, in our galaxy,
- the fraction of formed stars, *fp*, that have planets,
- for stars that have planets, the average number of planets *ne* that can potentially support life,
- the fraction of those planets, *fl*, that actually develop life,
- the fraction of planets bearing life on which intelligent, civilized life, *fi*, has developed,
- the fraction of these civilizations that have developed communications, *fc*, i.e., technologies that release detectable signs into space, and
- the length of time, *L*, over which such civilizations release detectable signals.

Because it's a PR nightmare?

I have seen otherwise smart, famous people flip out in public when they learn that Windows has a built in window recorder. Same folks have no concerns with their video drivers doing the exact same thing.

That said, I think the only really safe way to do this is a history chain that lives off-site. That means copies to azure, and even with great crypto and blocklists, that's not going to fly in the news.
Yes, the non-touchbar MacBook Pro has a 2x2 MIMO wifi/Bluetooth chipset, while the touchbar one retains the 3x3 MIMO one from the older MacBook Pro.
And I have counter idea — encrypt N times, so every shadow copy is borked; certainly you are not storing "infinite" history?
I'm skeptical. The cost of managing these permissions might outweigh the benefit. But hey, why not try it. As long as I can disable it when it ends up getting in my way...
I agree so much, nicely said. I even think it's more difficult than just self control, which I alluded to a little bit. Our bodies subconsciously treat the threat of not having enough food as a life or death situation. Once I became aware of it I noticed myself doing it all the time. I can't go on a short hike without packing more food than I need. No trips with family & friends ever run short on food, we always pack too much. I'm sure this used to be a real problem in past history, I'm certain we have evolved this way for a reason, but now we always have enough food. I like to think about it this way, anyway, in part because it explains why self control is so extremely difficult without the judgement. Lack of self control over food really isn't an individual weakness, it is an evolutionary advantage that we all share.
You are still encouraged to apply but you will be given a slower preference. Already cleared engineers will be fast tracked rather quickly.
I think there's an aspirational piece too. Without looking, do you know the names of the CEOs of any other car manufacturer?

So are you going to buy a car from one of them.. or the guy who is going to take us to Mars?

Which Vision do you want to be a part of?
More people struggle with this than you think. Leadership IS hard.

If you are having a hard time with this, take a step back, instead of telling people what you think would be better, ask what they think would be better.

It's easier to get people to put time into something they already believe in rather than a whole new idea.

> So I've come around to the idea that the database is a better thing to put at the centre

In my admittedly limited experience, applications come and go, but data lasts forever. So I find it unusual when a database is not at the heart of business software.
The wifi/BT chipset is different as well — the non-touchbar one is 2x2 MIMO and only goes up to 867Mbps.

It's a downgrade: the pre-touchbar MacBook Pros (and the touchbar ones) have 3x3 MIMO wifi/BT chipsets.
What we do know know is that the Kepler mission has accomplished the following:
Candidate exoplanets: 4,034
Confirmed exoplanets: 2,335

Confirmed exoplanets less than twice Earth-size in the habitable zone: 30

K2 mission:
Candidate exoplanets: 520
Confirmed exoplanets: 148

https://www.nasa.gov/kepler/discoveries

These are anemic numbers; even those in the "habitable zone are either tidal locked, their solar year are weeks or days long and we don't really know what their surface is.

The James Webb Telescope will help a lot but if you look at all the species and forms of life that lived on this planet in last 4-billion years (billions and trillions) only one has evolved intelligence to the degree that it can contemplate the universe and investigate it. I think it is plausible that we could be it...or at best so far and so few in between.

Moving to the US was easier than navigating the French administration as a French citizen.

I was able to open a bank account on day 2, without an ID. Obtaining the ID required a trip to the DMV, which while time-consuming, wasn't an especially complex endeavour.

Only issue I ran into was the government shutdown, and that affected everyone.
Part of the definition of a zero day exploit requires software providers to constantly fix issues, otherwise a thousand days exploit would be enough to compromise a system, and no zero day concept would have been necessary, they would be just called exploits.

For the proof of residence, an option nowadays is to book a place long term on airbnb, say 6 months or more, and then put the utilities in your name. Even just one utility may be enough, like water or electricity, maybe even internet too. Then you can use the utility bill as proof of address without needing to sign a formal rental agreement. Note that most governmental places will not accept an AirBnB receipt as proof of address, but a bank might. Keep bills of everything. Always have copies of everything on hand (passports, work contract, birth certificates, visas, bills) and keep electronic copies that you can print off any time.

Moat is hiring for a wide set of roles (frontend/backend/mobile software engineering, dev ops, QA, data science, UI/UX design).

We help top brands, large sites and popular apps make good product decisions -- often it's a decision to run fewer ads -- based on thoughtful analysis of reliable data. We process a trillion real-time events per month, and we're attacking hard problems like ad latency, botnets and malware.

We have strong benefits and fun extracurriculars, and we have relationships with just about every news, sports, entertainment, medical, and music site I know along with Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, and scores of advertisers.

Recently, we made the decision to join Oracle Data Cloud, a collection of startups within Oracle.

The OS would confirm that it was an end user making the action not malware. It is about the automatic creation of security rules based on observed behavior. The other option would be to create everything manually, which doesn't happen.

If the malware gets privileged access, it's game over. If it can't, good file system permissioning fixes the problem.

Underhanded Solidity Coding Contest
What's going on at Ars Technica? Between this (a straight-up repeat from 2012 with no obvious reason to bring it back now), and reblogging Jimmy Maher's Digital Antiquarian articles from the same time frame (see https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/06/ibm-pc-history-part-... and http://www.filfre.net/2012/05/the-ibm-pc-part-1/), have they cut their budget for new writing?
eh that's load of work for something that'll require constant manual intervention, besides, block level protection is the wrong level of abstraction and will get in the way of getting anything done, unless you rewrite the whole operating system to be aware of that (just run a lsof / openfiles )

a software defined version would be: make an opt in sandbox for processes that ties a folder and it's content to a single executable, with the executable pinned by the operating system and let the whole thing be mediated by the kernel.

of course that's as thigh as the kernel security, but if you're worried by that, offsite incremental backups are a cheaper answer.
At least, it requires someone to be able to act in mitigation. That might also be the user of the software (if they can patch it, find a workaround, have some other software validate inputs or detect attacks, etc.).

It's not a new business. Please reread the comment you're replying to.
How does it compare to existing versions of this like Eclipse Che or Cloud9 (c9.io)?

I don't see the motivation they had to build this other than they wanted support for YANG right? I'd want to see their motivation behind taking on such a big project

About the letter 'p': I'd ban the word 'significant' instead if we're going to go there. You could say something like 'null-improbable' if you insisted on using NHST -- such a term would make it harder to forget that it's a fiddly technical concept.

It is not that.

It’s "giving all information that exists about your medical history to a corporation that already tracks 70% of all payment processes and 96% of website accesses, and which aims to fully control your life". That’s a 1984 scenario if I’ve ever seen one.
