Yoshi Engineering is hiring
- About Yoshi
Yoshi believes two things will radically change the automotive industry in the coming years: self-driving cars, and alternative fuels. While we don’t claim to know when or how exactly these may develop, Yoshi is positioning itself to ride the tidal wave of each of these trends as they grow.

Yoshi has a strong team with many years of engineering experience between us. We're a YC S16 company tackling one of the world's largest markets: automotive fueling /servicing. Come help define the roadmap for a product that is at the forefront of a massive change.

We are based in SF.

- Experience
We work on everything from routing algorithms to dev ops. We are looking to hire a well rounded engineer capable of self direction. As important as ability is independence and common sense. A variety of experience is excellent, but better is the ability to solve issues where library documentation may be missing and for which there's no stack overflow answer.

Familiarity with popular web frameworks and backend engineering are helpful, but not essential.

- Responsibilities
Working on core resources which support our various platforms for
- communications
- order management and routing
- billing
- operations and customer service

> No, Facebooks mission is to collect demographic data in as much detail as possible and to use that to sell ads.

I never said it was their business model. You're confusing two separate aspects of what they do. They're directly related, they're not the same thing.

Facebook's mission is to connect people. That's what enables their business model. The former came before the latter, by necessity. They had a lot of connected users before they had a business model. But hey, try building a $500 billion social network business, before you start connecting up the users, see how it works out.
>>>> "Stripe made its debut in 2011 .... had spent two years testing their service and forming relationships with banks, credit card companies, and regulators so customers wouldn’t have to".

Can somebody help throw light on:

how Paypal was lagging in 2011 when compared to stripe ?

-OR-

how Collisons went forming better relationship with bank to build a system better than Paypal ?
They may have existed somewhere, but I'm not aware of any in my home town.

As with many things in the USSR, it may well have been regional and time-dependent. My memories are from mid-80s, although I know that my family had one before then. I didn't know anyone whose family didn't have one, and we weren't a nomenklatura family or anything like that - just a regular Soviet family with boring everyday jobs (teachers and engineers) - and neither were our neighbors and acquaintances.
I certainly hope so, BMW seems to be the only major car company that looks to be the engaged in actually making electric cars that don't suck.
Their "soy leghemoglobin" doesn't come from soy though. It comes from GMO Algae. Presumably they could reprogram that algae to produce a different hemoglobin-like molecule.
Thank you for linking the prior statement. I read it, and disagree with your conclusion that it's the same as the grandparent.

It simply says, not supporting BCC now, but might in the future -- we will not acquire the BCCs for Coinbase.
Ah, I stand corrected.

I tried to look more into the decision. These seem to be the two relevant quotes:

>Companies with multiple share class structures tend to have corporate governance structures that treat different shareholder classes unequally with respect to voting rights and other governance issues

>S&P Dow Jones Indices also said that the S&P Composite 1500 indexes, like the S&P 500, follow “more restrictive eligibility rules,” such as positive earnings based on accepted accounting rules whereas its other index groups were “intended to represent the investment universe.”

So I suppose they aren't really "the very least picky possible investors". Their mandate seems to include actively curating the S&P 500, despite its tendency to be used by "passive" investors.
4 Important Tips to Make Your Landing Page Successful
They just shake their limbs back and forth or their body. It's pretty easy for anyone familiar with seizures to tell a fake, since most fakers shake their limbs back and forth evenly - a sort of even sawtooth pattern of movement. However, jerky movement in seizures is contraction-relax-contraction-relax, contracting in one direction only, not back-and-forth jerking. People also aren't conscious during full-body seizures (though they are if it's partial-body), so if they're looking around focusing on things, looking at your response, or talking, that's a giveaway.

One point to note, though, is that you can't just assume that everyone faking a seizure doesn't have epilepsy. Quite a lot of fakers do, and they fake for different reasons. A lot like the attention they get after a seizure. Others come in to have an EEG and think that they need to have a seizure to help the diagnosis, so they 'help out' with good intentions (not common, but common enough). Very very rarely you might encounter a real seizure that looks like a fake, though these are generally other kinds of seizures (various kinds of 'partial' seizures), not the full-body-shaking ones.
I can't imagine that restricting disclosing which other companies he's worked for.

I'm curious if it's a recruiting strategy he's trying.
I don't consider this trollish at all, I'm legitimately asking. Just because you don't like that your argument can be flipped around doesn't change anything.

> Consider which group intentionally targets civilians, which groups condone vs punish rape, which groups answers to people vs outdated books.

I do consider that and I can't defend America in this case. We have historically targeted civilians, condoned rape, and definitely answer to a book that I strongly consider outdated.

This is the problem that I have with censorship: It usually ends up being OK if the "good guys" do it, but we can't let "them" do the same thing, or people might listen to them!

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Yes, but he sold 30% of IBM at around $180ish for what I assume is a nice hefty profit.
True, though all the code was doing was collecting a list of installed packages and a list of file extensions you've edited. Judging by the reactions here, you'd think they were uploading your entire ~/ directory.

I'm curious how Kite got the telemetry into that extension if it's unaffiliated. https://github.com/titoBouzout seems like a fairly standard github account, though it's strange he had no commits for six months until this incident.

We live across the country from them so we wanted to setup an easy to use way to video chat with them. We had setup Skype for them before we left but every single time they had issues with audio not working and other various problems.

With the Echo Show they simply say "Call BinaryIdiot" and it works. That's it.

So yes the setup was awful but we wanted a way for them, who are not tech savvy in the least, to be able to quickly and easily video call us whenever they wanted.

Do all competent programmers check the 'Delphi' job postings?
Their "9 plays to own" model with higher compensation for repeats sounds really interesting, although I wonder if the base level of .2 cents is still high enough that spamming enough can earn some money. On Soundcloud spamming is a major issue even without directly earning any money from it so I imagine this would just make it worse.

While I don't know for sure, I suspect that on Soundcloud I listen to part of multiple thousands of songs a month that I dislike and don't want to support. Some of these I don't want to spend money on but for a sufficiently low to me price I wouldn't care and some of which I actively want to not pay any amount for.

IMO first play should be free until you indicate that you like the song. There should also be a way to note that you have listened and don't want to play the song again (if there isn't... hopefully they have that already). However that would be easily defeated by the same artist posting the same or very similar content multiple times (and a block artist option wouldn't avoid the same artist posting under multiple accounts, which happens on Soundcloud). I think any manditory payment on the first listen is going to restrict the type of content that can appear on that platform and make it not the same kind of place as Soundcloud.

This is a problem in other content areas as well where money goes to those with the most appealing advertising almost independent of content quality. Well, it can be an major issue with anything people pay money for, but it is particularly unnecessary for easily copied content.

Also, they should really make sure that you can get a FLAC when you have fully paid not just a mp3. I would not use the service for this reason alone (unless they do actually do that and are just bad at describing it). The Bandcamp model works better for me, I just wish they had better discovery options.

I wish Soundcloud had a way for listeners to pay particular artists, first covering the Soundcloud fees and then the vast majority of the rest going to the artist.

They are forecasting strong revenue for Q4, so odds are there will be some kind of iPhone launch in September. Not sure if it means OLED model launches in September.
It's uncommon for commercially successful games to also release their source code. But I wonder: when a game is made by a small team or solo developer, without any intent during development to release the source code, how likely is it that the source code will be useful to others?

There's also no mention of code licenses or use of game assets, both of which seem like important details.

Automatic license renewals: twenty months later
The indices should have given a grace period rather than a blanket grandfathering of existing multi-class-structured companies. It arguably discourages further participation in the public markets if a massive amount of control has to be ceded, and it implicitly gives the grandfathered companies a massive advantage (in particular Facebook, wherein one founder has majority voting control despite not having majority ownership)
As a corollary to your point about paying money for a free service, I recently decided to help fund Riot/Matrix.org development on Patreon (currently $5 a month). Both are currently presented as a free service, and I recall them stating eventually they would have paid-for integrations and bonuses for corporate users, but predominantly most of the users are on the matrix.org instance using the free service. Needless to say though, it's been a damn good app / backend most of the time, and has made my life much better than before, when I would connect to a handful of various services to accomplish the same goal. I think the reason I didn't see contributing money to be as big of an issue, is that the work is 1) open sourced, which is almost as if I can have some part of ownership in it (don't take this too literally) and 2) I pay $5 for a vps to keep my personal website / email up. If I'm willing to part with $5 for email (which some days could be thought of as not helping my life), I might as well do it for another application / ecosystem I use everyday that does help me in many ways.

Overall I think that to an extent you can't just expect that most people will pay for something that would otherwise be free, or has been free for a long time. You end up gaining a bunch of users from the "lower pool" that will only be there as long as it's a free ride. But a certain class of users will pay for something if you ask for it, because it has made their life better in some way, and they want to ensure it continues in the future. There's an interesting parallel here to Craigslist / Kijiji, where most seasoned users will put a price on items they just want to get rid of. They do this because a very large portion of troublesome users who troll around for free stuff will outright ignore the posting. This actually makes it easier to get rid of things, because you don't have to deal with fielding fifty calls of people who might pick it up but then never show, or who just call you to ask if you have anything else for free that can go with it (and subsequently waste your time from giving unwanted items to people who will actually, you know, come get them from you).

It does make you wonder if the idea of a buffet-style, everything-is-free-forever ends up tainting the user pool, especially with regards to sites / applications that deal with art / multimedia. Sure, there's piracy out there, but companies like soundcloud don't really have the corporate backing behind them to scale infinitely for more users. Maybe from the outset they should have charged a $5 yearly membership or something. They may have had less users, but at least then they'd have something. Or perhaps I just don't understand their business model. Who knows?

My impression is that modern firms "pay dividends" by doing share buybacks, which are equivalent to dividends but taxed less (I'm nowhere near an expert here, if that isn't clear). If you don't have a voting share or some kind of contractual guarantee, though, what's to stop the voting shareholders from deciding to just buy only voting stock in the event of a buyback?
Would you actually use this yourself and leave your laptop in a coffee shop? If you get a text message how long does it take for you to run out of the washroom?
You can make something akin to ball lightning in your (friend's) home microwave:

Get a birthday candle, melt some of it onto a small plate, then stick it on the plate. Put the plate in the microwave. Turn the microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes.

Again - don't do this at home with a microwave you care about...
Yeah, after thinking it over, I agree. It also wasn't clear to me that they were trying to hide the fact that they were submitting the statistics to Kite. I thought they were being up front about it. Your reaction (and everyone else's) makes complete sense in that context. It was strange that a list of file extensions caused such uproar, but it's doubly strange that they tried to be shady about collecting it.

I guess it's best to enforce a blanket ban on this behavior. I still can't get over how dumb it was for Kite to do this. All they had to do was be open and honest about it and nobody would've cared too much. Crossing over into the realm of paid spyware is way too far.
I remember reading the original impressions of the Impossible Foods ground meat and thinking it was just media buzz.

I promise you it is not.

At Momofuku's Ssam Bar in the East Village of NYC, you can order an off menu item called Spicy Pork Sausage and Rice Cakes. It's not really off the menu - the item has simply been around so long and is so well known to regulars that they left it off to make room for new dishes.

I've had it more times than I count.

At lunch time however, they serve Spicy "Impossible Sausage" and Rice Cakes. The first time I ordered it, I was ready to complain about one of my favorite things ruined by a hyped product.

But then I took my first bite, and it somehow tasted better than the pork sausage version. I've been back many times since and the Impossible Foods version of the dish is often tastier than the pork version.

Let that sink in for a moment. Impossible Foods was able to replace high quality pork sausage served in a beloved dish at one of New York's buzziest restaurants and make the dish better.

The vast majority of ground meat in the American food chain is of lower quality. If Impossible Foods can replace that ground meat at scale, the ramifications are enormous. They will reduce by a huge margin the number of animal lives and quantity of CO2 necessary to feed us.

But this is not about attention by itself; It's about feedback.

At least you learned that your opinions were considered controversial.
You made someone move out of their comfort zone and reach out to you, if only to send hatemail. You have impact on other people. That's something.

But those who are writing posts but get no response whatsoever, are stumbling in the dark. Is the topic boring? Is the post not detailed enough? Too long? Too pompous? Is there a spelling error half-way through, so horrible, that no one manages to read the article to the end? Those people will never know.

Of course, you can hone your writing skills by writing for yourself, but without critique from others, it can only get you so far.
I received zero notifications. I'm assuming they selectively decided to notify users based on how recently they had logged in perhaps, meaning that there may be a large amount of cumulative bitcoin whose owners were not notified. I only heard of anything from being on Hacker News.
It's not that it's unacceptable in general (although there are certainly scenarios - real-time, embedded etc - where it is). It's that a language that effectively mandates GC cannot be a true C++ replacement. So I can't in good conscience accept a "better C++" or "what C++ should have been" label.

This isn't to say that D is not a great language. It is, but I see it more as competing against Go (which is also not "a better C"), and to some extent Java, C#, Kotlin, and Swift.

The only true contender to the "better C++" label that I know of is Rust.

> But hey, try building a $500 billion social network business, before you start connecting up the users, see how it works out.

Guess what, I did. We reached about a million monthly active users at some point which was quite the high point, but still that's a drop in the bucket compared to where the web is today. Still, back then 100K active users per day put us well in the top 500 of all websites.

Needless to say I fell a bit short of the mark of making a $500B company but we really were trying to connect people and video chat was exactly the medium that we used. And no, we did not build up user profiles to track their behavior, not because we could not but because we felt that was not right.

So instead, we charged for the service and eventually it went under.

Personally I will not use any of these services unless I pay for them and my data is not retained or mined. Zuckerberg is the last person on the planet I would trust with my data.

That's also why I use plain old SMS rather than whatsapp and email or IRC rather than Gmail or Google hangouts or similar.
point is that npm are encouraging you to use npx, which is bundled with npm 5.2+ as a general tool for executing adhoc commands from the terminal. It just massively increases the chance of typos.
This sort of thing is standard in Frama-C and SPARK Ada for proving code to be safe from common vulnerabilities or crashes. I don't care what the proof terms look like: just that the code won't get hacked. Same with CompCert even though it's meant to be readable. I just want a correct compilation.

Lots of situations where the result obtained is only thing that matters to most users.

The Unabomber did target people connected to computer science and IT, including trying to kill people based on his perception of their research vision and agenda. For example, in his letter to his victim David Gelernter, a prominent computer scientist, he complained about "the way techno-nerds like you are changing the world" and cited Gelernter's ideas from Mirror Worlds (a book about technologies that might currently be called VR, AR, and simulation).
