And yet, by all appearances, the Model S /is/ cutting into S-class sales.

Whether the experience is exactly the same or not is irrelevant. If you're a luxury car maker, you're already feeling this; it's not a hypothetical.
I think nowadays more interpreters/compilers are being written for FORTH than stuff in the language itself.
Not sure why you're downvoted, you're right.

Tesla S starts at $57K.

- Mercedes S starts at $97K
- Panamera starts at $86K
- 6/7 series start at $81K/$83K.

You're right, you're looking at mid-range Audis and the like. But having been in a 2016 S and several Audis the interior quality is hugely different. The Audi feels great, and the S felt like my eight year old Altima.

I don't want to sound like a hater - the Tesla is a lot of fun to drive, and I like electric, but still.

Rather than thinking about the businesses that currently are trying to get rich by doing ICOs, I'd like to point out that the idea of creating tokens out of thin-air, and having them obtain value purely by speculation, is an interesting system we should ponder more about.

We're now capable, thanks to these consensus systems, of creating tokens that have certain properties. For instance Bitcoin is a specific kind of token which is scarce - hence will work more like gold. Other tokens (perhaps Ether or Dogecoin) instead are not scarce at all, and new tokens continue entering the system all the time.

What's interesting about these systems is that we're converting money from the "real world" into this "speculation world". And purely because of speculation, real money is essentially being converted into this digital world.

In a very abstract way, we're essentially converting FIAT real-world money into these digital tokens that are hackable and can take on a myriad of different attributes.

To me this smells like the future - even though we're still far from it. Capitalism and the banking system we have created for ourselves is certainly not going to cope with the technological automations and the sheer amounts of jobs we're going to lose (hence automate) quickly.

Universal basic income is only part of the solution - but something like a world of tokens that behave in very different ways might be part of the solution as well. Even though we might not see the possibilities nowadays, to me it's very exciting to see how something can gain value simply because of speculation.

Perhaps in the future we'll have to redefine even what "money" is, or what "valuable" means. Again, if we're thinking about fully-automated societies, perhaps the idea of having a scarce token that only banks can create (our FIAT system) is not ideal. Perhaps the future is any kid creating his own token with some funky properties for his own videogame, and living off the "likes" he gets on some social network.
That reminds me of my second job in the industry. My boss was very chatty and would keep me on the phone for hours every day if I let him, so I kept making up things so I could work without interruption. Funny thing, he was extremely lonely, had no life and loved to talk about mine, so I could tell him "my girlfriend is angry at me, it's really bad, I need to take care of it right now." I'd hang up, code for a few hours, and then call him back and make up a story about the fight I had with my girlfriend. That worked much better than telling him I needed some time to, you know, do all the stuff we talked about on the phone all day.
ProsperWorks | ( Web / Server / Mobile ) Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA, US | Full-time | ONSITE https://www.prosperworks.com/careers

At ProsperWorks, we've built the CRM that sales teams love to use. We integrate
tightly with Gmail, G Suite and RingCentral to give our users up-to-the-minute
data without a lot of manual data entry. We have thousands of paying customers,
top-tier investors, real revenue and we're growing fast.

We're looking for experienced software engineers to join us. You will work
closely with our small cross-functional teams of developers, QA analysts,
product managers and designers. We work steadily, collaboratively and
iteratively to ship software to customers every two weeks.

Our server is Ruby on Rails, our web client is Ember and we have native Android
and iOS apps. Like most mid-stage startups, we're in the process of paying down
technical debt as we build a solid foundation to serve us through our "hockey
stick" growth. We're committed to automated testing, refactoring and improving
code quality; we want every commit to leave the code a little better than we
found it while shipping compelling new features to our users every sprint.

Our interview process consists of a phone screen followed by a half day on-site
interview of three 45 minute sessions covering algorithmic thinking, system
design/architecture and hands-on coding, then a talk with an engineering manager
about culture, fit and career goals. We’re respectful of candidate’s time, so we
try to extend offers within a couple of working days.

SEEKING WORK: B2B Marketer, NYC + Remote

I grew all of a national B2B brand's (OnDeck) digital marketing from scratch, from some of their first major venture rounds to post IPO. I'm really experienced at marketing to business owners going from zero to millions of dollars in marketing budget in pretty much every way possible - Facebook, SEM, Direct Mail, SEO, content amplification. I currently have B2B clients like a major conference organizer, a small business credit score start-up, a 30 year old jewelry and diamond wholesaler, an RFID tracking company, and more.

I have special expertise with using Facebook for B2B marketing. In fact, one of my strategies was used by the fintech team at Facebook as a case study for success in B2B finance marketing.

Wealthfront | Senior Infrastructure Engineer | Redwood City, CA // US-based Remote | REMOTE | https://www.wealthfront.com/

Hi HN, hiring manager here.

We're looking for Senior Infrastructure Engineers to help us design and build our next generation of infrastructure. We aim to build a well-rounded team and we're looking for engineers with a deep Linux systems background, strong TCP/IP networking abilities, and experience building CI/CD pipelines. This is not an entry-level DevOps position; this role requires senior-level skills and at least six years of experience working in a production environment.

We're a modern infrastructure engineering team and we build many tools in-house, so you will need to demonstrate proficiency in a one of the languages commonly used for infrastructure : Go (strongly preferred), Ruby, Python, or Java. Experience with app containerization (Docker or rkt) and orchestration systems (Kubernetes) is a big plus!

Sound interesting? Please reach out to me by applying here: https://jobs.lever.co/wealthfront/d2e9b730-ebad-4331-ae41-be...
JavaScript Awaits
There are a large contingent of people who have more faith in Google to be more ethical than most government organizations, the NHS included. As someone who has been party to the internals at Google, and to some lesser extent with government health organizations, I am truly not sure which side I fall on these days. So I can understand why someone would be okay with Google acquiring the data.
A car that can only drive at 130 km/h would be turn-off in many regions where the legal speed limit is lesser. There is such a thing as overtaking other cars safely (e.g. overtaking a car that drives 100 km/h on a 120 km/h road in Sweden).
If the promotion was for a manager role, it might simply be because "you get walked over by people".

Good developers rarely make managers unfortunately. While I don't have much info, it could simply be that your manager doesn't think you're fit or ready for a managerial position. And btw, there's nothing wrong with that.
I can only compare to Norway, which is not single payer but socialized kind of like NHS.

But it is in no way as complicated and inconvenient as people in the US seem to think. I can go directly to a specialist in the private sector at short notice and pay out of pocket if I like. That costs about 100 dollars. If I need to go frequently I can simple buy extra private health insurance which doesn't cost a lot, since they don't have to cover all that much given that they can utilize the existing public health care. Lots of companies already offer this in Norway.

Anyway then you typically visit your GP to get a referral but that is done very quickly, and is really just a formality. I can go the same day and spent a couple of minutes to do that. Then I can go to a specialist covered by my private insurance on short notice.

I think the private/public divide we got in Norway works quite well. Public health care usually handles well most health care needs in a timely fashion and with good quality. The problem is usually things like elective surgery where there can be long waiting times. But these cases are handled quite well by the private sector. You can pay for private health insurance to handle those cases. That is cheap because there are really just clinics open from 9 to 5, which does surgery, then transport you to a public hospital for recovery afterwards. That makes their operations cheap as they don't need to be open 24/7 and don't need their own emergency care, ambulances etc. All that is handled by the public sector.
According to the article wheels and paint are the only options. However auto pilot is probably a software only option at this point in time, not affecting the build complexity, so you might be right about that too.
Every company I've worked at with 2 or more developers has acknowledged a difference between a developer responsible for high level architecture and technical ownership of a system(s) who happens to program some of that system as well, and a developer responsible for programming parts of that system who happens to architect smaller self-contained pieces of it.

Architecting a class or small single-use library is a subset of the skill required to architect a distributed system, a large multi-tenant application, or some other non-closed system.

Whether you want them to have the same job title or not is I think orthogonal to the fact that they are very different jobs.

Yes, perhaps. I think most people who "invest" in ICOs follow this logic:

1) Get into the ICO race and be quicker than others so you get tokens. There is always massive demand to participate in ICOs so most people aren't quick enough to get their transactions in.

2) Wait until the new worthless token is listed on some speculative exchange which allows trading of these tokens (Poloniex). In the meantime hype the token on social media like Reddit to increase FOMO. Once it's listed those people that didn't get into ICO will rush in to buy tokens as they anticipate the price to go up by 10x.

3) The ICO investors cash out their coins from this initial spike of new money rushing in after listing on exchange.

4) Rinse and repeat.

I think there is a difference between having your medical data accessed by some Bulgarian cyber mafia and having it accessed by Google.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think my data in the hands of Google would be more harmful to me. I mean, next think you know my health insurer in some not very developed country that I have to move to for work, comes to find out about my past medical history and raises my premium and deductible. I find it more plausible that they would get the information from Google than from some shady Bulgarian cyber mafia.

Socratic questioning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_questioning) helps me still to this day. I've also found that finding confidence in the value that I do by measuring metrics (feedback, output, whatever works) helps as well, but ultimately a lot of discussions with my peers.

[edit] It's important to realise, understand, and then accept that you will never be the one who knows everything the best. But accepting that you can move on, relax, find joy in doing what you do. And funnily in doing that you actually may be again one that knows better.
Chrome is the only browser with "by default" bookmark sync with an online service, and hence the only one you can compare to this software.

Firefox sync doesn't work very well and is not as used, plus it's not on by default.
I remind myself where the extrema are, both low and high, for my current situation, not for the collective internet. So long as I'm not close to the lower boundary and improving at least as fast as it's rising, everything is fine. Lots of people don't even bother trying to improve.
I should have said "Good luck to have that in France, when you are fresh out of school".

I know you can have the same salary in Paris than in the US but it requires 20 years of experience and two degrees from X and Normal Sup.

My friends make on average ~1800€/month after tax and most of them still need to live with their parents. A majority of them want to move out of France. I understand them, no way you study so hard to make 600€ more than the minimum wage (~1200€/month).

You can't "contrast this to an IPO". It's just 1000 times different. ICO are more like a seed round, accessible for everyone, not just VC firms.
Seed round are counter-intuitive / highly risked investments, like ICOs.

>A system which enables scamming like that is a horribly broken system
I agree, lots of people are going to get scammed, and the market/ the ICO structure is going to evolve, that's natural. People are already digging and you can already see very well documented due dilligence about ICOs.

I don't think it's a broken system, it's just a young system that is evolving quickly.

I'm aware of TBB, but IMHO C++ is not the future of parallel and concurrent programming, or at least not the future I am hoping for.
From reading the comments there seems to be huge potential for a startup in France: Making it easy to navigate the bureaucracy. Automate everything, streamline communications, speed up enquiries, etc

This is assuming that the bureaucracy cannot be disrupted itself outside of the government. I imagine if such a startup would work it would have lots of popular support. Uber for Bureaucracy.
At the moment the shared demo is pretty much unusable due to people deleting stuff before you can do anything with it.

Which is a shame as it actually looks like a pretty nice tool.
Seems like a project worthy of its own ICO ;)
Interesting idea.

Can you explain the thawing procedure, and how a normal everday user would experience it?
It is also completely confidential and there are no recruiters in the middle. Definitely worth exploring.
Bringing Big Tools to Big Data: Spark and Spark Streaming
Not saying that is necessarily the case, but situations like this can also develop if you have a lot of basic knowlege (especially regarding tooling) that is neither documented properly nor spread amongst most of the team.

I've had scenarios where I spent an afternoon building a little one-off application I needed for some specific debugging task only to be told a month or so later that someone already built a proper tool for that - but only one developer knew about it, and it was stored in a different repository I had no access to.
How about just enabling Shadow copies by default! I don't understand why Windows has great "Time machine like features", but every fucking time I right click and go to Properties and look at the "Previous versions" tab and it is completely empty.
>If you're a luxury car maker, you're already feeling this..

I am not sure. If I want a luxury car, I am going to get a Porsche.

End of story.
There seems a compromise possible on the "with patient consent" bit. Maybe by default researchers could have some sort of anonymized data and patients can opt out if they want no data sharing or in if they don't mind researchers seeing it all.

Personally I don't mind Google or similar seeing my not very interesting data.

I wonder what the breakdown on the actual shipping vs handling labor costs are for a big distributor like Mouser or DigiKey.

Compare with labor costs for either factories or small owner operated export businesses run out of Shenzhen and you can see where there might be a pretty big difference in the handling price.
I've done due diligence on 50+ software companies and the worst offenders of data security are definitely healthcare software providers.
