Eaze – San Francisco – Node.js – On-Site
Eaze delivers marijuana products on-demand, with an average delivery time of 25 minutes. At any given time we are routing over 100 drivers delivering cannabis throughout major Californian cities.
We're growing, and hiring.
Basically it's an E-commerce site with a bunch of regulatory twists and driver routing apps thrown in.
Currently looking for Senior Node.js developers, to help us mentor and demonstrate best practices to less senior though eager Node devs.

http://www.afsvision.com/Careers/Career-Opportunities sporadically holds a Cobol training academy, where they pay individuals to learn Cobol for a few weeks, and generally hire a majority of them.

The exton, PA location is also close to Lancaster PA, so rural living is an option. I only use webservices with that group, so our corporate recruiter would probably have a better idea of what's available.
This is a good point, and is worth discriminating those groups.
I thought this too but I don't know if the original commenter meant that people could program their own oven or share those oven programs.
Only if you have some sort of trust in the putative other party. I don't trust news.ycombinator.com more than I trust some rando pretending to be news.ycombinator.com, so domain validation here is pointless for me. It's nice to know that, whatever entity I'm communicating with, the message was not altered or inspected in transit.

Aaronson has commented on this particular proof. He's, to say the least, skeptical, based on an observed polynomial circuit in section 7: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=3389
I can't prove the transactions were Ver's anymore than I can prove some are yours.

But as keymone said, the timeline of events is fishy. How come they stop when the block size debate does, or Roger uses them as examples in post after post of why Core needed to be replaced because of this huge backlog. When, you can look at the transactions yourself, most are dust, and they peak when the debate does.

I can't prove it, sure. But myself and many others think this because it is logical, and it sounds like there is no changing your mind so we'll stop here.
> " the real way you pay for it is via your time"

Very true of my on-campus degree from Gatech as well. There wasn't any flexibility in spreading out courses due to my visa status. Tech tends to expect grads to leave in 1.5 years, which is slightly tighter.

> "It cost me my relationship with the SO and it cost me my health (staying up late nights, lots of coffee)."

Could've been true for me as well. Tech was also the first time my SO and I were long-distance, so that was an added challenge. I also put on 20 pounds the first year due to late nights and large pizzas. When I came to my senses, there were amazing options available in the fitness center.

> " The hidden gem is Piazza ..."

Opinions varied among my peers but I loved Piazza (the idea) too. Only one of my courses (advanced OS, Kishore) actually used it extensively, sadly.

Apart from the campus culture, etc, one thing I would miss in the OMSCS is talking to professors after class. A couple of the professors spent almost an hour after class answering questions in the hallway (in addition to scheduled office hours). I wonder if that experience can be replicated.
You would have to give up all the dynamic convienience we take for granted. Menus would be just links. Basically you would have HN like sites for the small ones and the big ones would have images. That's it.

On second thought that wouldn't be so bad considering the bloat we have to deal with nowadays. (1 MB per page for just news from sites like CNN ugh.)
I absolutely adore that CNN 1996 site. Man, designs like that were great.
It loaded so fast!
Glad this was posted. I was admitted to Penn's MSE in CIS as well as OMSCS for the Fall. No funding for either. Penn is roughly $60k. I currently live in Philly. I'm curious to see what HN thinks would be the better option.

Free speech doesn't apply to any of those examples because there was an action outside of "speech" or "thought". Speech, thought, etc. should never be illegal.

Yeah, I think such social media "failures" has long since become a canned recipe for generating free media hype. It allows brands to tap into obscene words and imagery by proxy ("we didn't know") - but gets lots of press and organic traffic as people make anything from meme jokes to hate speech.

Case in point: the UK national lottery just reached whatever fraction of hn users that are possible customers, probably nudging a few percent of those to remember to buy lottery tickets.

Launch HN: Thematic (YC S17) Customer Feedback Analysis via NLP
Hi! I’m the CEO of Thematic, http://www.getthematic.com. We analyse customer feedback to tell companies how to increase customer satisfaction and reduce churn.

We are one of the handful of companies that got into YC through the Startup School, and (I have to say) the only company that signed YC itself as a customer!

I have a PhD in NLP and ML and was consulting when two large media companies came to me with a problem: They collect tons of customer feedback in free text as part of their NPS surveys, but don’t have the time to sift through the responses.

This turned out to be common. Most companies collect feedback but, especially in large companies, nobody reads this data, and definitely not people who are in charge of strategy. Customers are screaming what’s wrong and what they want, but nobody is listening.

I tried a few open-source packages but found that none worked well. Developed on canonical text like news article or Wikipedia, they either failed to understand the variety of expressions, or were too hard to explain. I wrote a new approach capitalising on my PhD and new Deep Learning approaches. It's completely unsupervised: just needs raw data but, unlike topic modelling, produces clear and specific themes. My husband Nathan joined as a co-founder and for the next year we learned how to solve this problem in a way customer insights professionals find valuable.

Those media companies became customers and we quickly bootstrapped into a profitable startup. This is when Nathan signed up for YC’s Startup School. We grew 20% in those 10 weeks, loved the accountability and the focus. Our mentor suggested we apply for YC, which seemed like a crazy idea, but we gave it a go.

Fast-forward another 2 months, and we are just before Demo Day! Thematic grew 3x in that time, and we are working with brands like Vodafone, Air New Zealand, Stripe, Ableton, and Manpower Group.

Hope you found our story interesting, and happy to answer any questions.

I think it's fascinating the change in how we view site navigation. Another commenter gave a link to an old Microsoft site that had links all over the place. But for the most part, it seemed like sites started to standardize on navigation vertically on the left side. Now, we generally see them horizontally on the top, or in hamburger menus. But it's interested how that paradigm shifted. It seems like vertical side navigation would be more prevalent now, given how much wider monitors are.

> It's his money. He could buy a fleet of yachts, set them on fire, and upload the video footage - why shouldn't he be allowed to do that? At what arbitrary level of wealth does 'his' money become everyone else's money?

This is a good question to ask.

Typically arguments about the ethical demands of wealth are predicated on how that wealth is _acquired_. As a society we suppose that some wealth is acquired "fairly" (say through some amazing talent or hard work), while other wealth is said to be acquired "unfairly" (say through fraud or exploitation).

There's a separate question however that this does not address: regardless of how you have earned your wealth, to what degree are you morally permitted to _retain_ it? To frame the question is slightly different terms, if I am in possession of an expensive life-saving medicine, and my neighbor is in dire need of this medicine, am I morally obligated to give my neighbor this medicine? The question of _how_ I acquired this medicine is quite separate from the question of whether I have a moral right to retain it.

The same question may be asked of exorbitant wealth. If I have enough money to buy a fleet of yachts and set them on fire, and my neighbor does not have enough money to pay for her children's breakfasts, do I have a moral right to set those yachts on fire? Or am I morally obligated to surrender some of my wealth to my neighbor's hungry children?
As a Yellow Jacket myself I am somewhat amused that they managed to translate the stress and fatigue of the Georgia Tech experience into the online course. In a perverse way I think that means the program is as valuable as it purports to be.

> The option to change the default browser causes no confusion in their desktop OS and it wouldn't in iOS either.

That can be argued, but I can see a few scenarios that will be problematic for the less tech savvy users.

1) Do you present an option when the user installs another browser to set it as a default, or do you guide them on how to go to the settings and do it?
2) What happens when the user uninstalls the browser, maybe by mistake after having been prompted or guided to set it as default? Should the system a) ask the user to first switch to another browser, or b) notify that if they uninstall it, a default browser will be chosen?
3) What to do now that someone has by mistake deleted chrome, which is the only browser they have used on the phone ever and doesn't even know safari exists? They will have to go to a genius bar or ask someone they know for help to how to either download chrome again (possibly) or to be told about safari
4) what happens when the user by mistake (or not recalling doing so) put chrome as default browser but want to go back to safari?

All these things I just came up with on a whim (there are probably many more) is usability complexity that will put less tech savvy users in problematic and/or confusing scenarios that overall can make them appreciate the phone less and could potentially lead to less sold devices.

These are not problems I personally would have, but they are problems that Apple, whoms goal is to sell as many devices as possible, wish to be without. Adding options is possibly adding confusion that can lead to less sales.

> You won't cite anything because you can't. It's quite clear that you're wrong. Sorry.

I didn't cite anything, yes, I mentioned a famous psychology book and research area that is specifically saying that I am right. It's not something I just thought of, you know.

Here is the author of the book doing a TED Talk on the subject: https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_c...
About three months of savings between myself and my co-founder.
In all fairness, the super big companies (not only tech) are the only ones with any big data.

Paying for it will always be the problem, but not just who pays for it, but whom will be paid for those services. IMO the problem with today's healthcare and insurance dilemma is that everyone wants to get in on the gravy train. Doctors, specialists, and everyone in between, are eager to take a fee. Pharmaceutical companies charge just about whatever they want because they know, eventually, they'll get paid. Insurance is best left to the private market, because if it goes universal through the government, then there will never truly be any limitations on what is covered, how much is paid, and the system will collapse upon itself.

For those that want to draw parallels to other nations, please remember those nations tend to be considerably smaller than the U.S., and they've had a LOT longer to work on these problems.

For my two cents, healthcare in America could be greatly improved with the following:

1) No one gets turned down for insurance, no matter what. Even if it's just basic prescription drug coverage, some basic level.
2) The cost of insurance is tied to your income, with the price gradually increasing as your wage increases so people are not forced to keep a low paying job for low paying insurance, unless of course that's what they want.
2a) The longer you have continuous insurance the more coverage you get, and the lower your costs. Incentive people to get, maintain, and keep insurance.
3) A cap on the price of drugs that have been on the market for more than 2 years.
4) Exclusive patents on drugs no more than 4 years.
5) Insurance is available nationwide, portable, and covers you no matter where you live, work, or go.
6) Finally, if you cancel your insurance you may not reapply for insurance for six months. Stop people from dropping insurance and waiting to pick it up only when they need it.

There are a dozen holes you can poke in that, I understand, but it's a start, and it's a short law that I think many would agree with.
They should make sites incompatible with NoScript illegal. Back in my days (lol its just 10+ years) they used plain text for Web pages and used javascript like custom animation in presentations. Now only javascript is there with some html sprinkled in between.

P.S the rest of it was in Flash though. So no back button for you.
A combination of this and EUR credit is just not as liquid as USD.

It looks like the deal is 16bn across 7 tranches. EUR equivalent would be much harder for the market to digest and a lot more difficult to hedge.
Not specifically directed at you, but sort of directed at you:

I wish everyone who pined for the 25-years-ago days of mostly text pages would, instead of pining, just go out there and produce that content they want to see.

Instead of pining, start writing. Hosting is cheap or free, browsers still parse simple HTML, there's nothing stopping anyone from creating a return to that simpler form.
There are a few commercial options available, with different levels of complexity, performance and price. Depends on whether you need to support multiple vehicles with several deliveries on each, specific delivery time windows, and things like that.

For example, Oracle sell a product called 'Real Time Scheduler' [1]. Google finds me a bunch of other products too, but I haven't looked at them in depth.

The off-the-shelf software can deal with tens to low hundreds of orders per solution, - which can scale reasonably well if you're willing to divide your service area with boundaries you can't optimise across.

Ocado built a custom system which can support more orders with fewer boundaries; this offers better routing efficiency, which is important as delivery efficiency is a key cost driver. If your business does something like, say, washing machine repair your time-per-customer might be dominated by repair time rather than travel time; in that case you might be able to operate a nationwide business on off-the-shelf software.

The underlying algorithm in Ocado's system is based on simulated annealing [2] - although those precise words don't seem to have made it into the article!

No. It's only needed to playback archives of web pages that only work with old JavaScript libraries enabled.

In many cases these systems are installed behind firewalls in corporate locations, where this is less of an issue. It becomes a bigger issue when you then just deploy it into the cloud without knowing what or how it works.

It gets better. My wife's iPhone 6 would not play music at all through the car aux system. 3 other family phones worked fine. We took the phone to Apple, they couldn't find anything wrong, updated the OS and other stuff and sent us away. The problem persisted, we went back. They replaced the phone.

The problem persisted.

Finally in the middle of a mind-wandering commute daze it occurred to me that my wife's phone had no songs in iTunes . She only listens to music via YouTube (don't ask). "You don't suppose...".

Yup. I put one song in her iTunes library and problem solved.
You literally accused me of supporting white supremacy because I disagreed with a point you made. That shouldn't be taken lightly.

I did enjoy that video. That's a cool couple of acres. That's kinda my vision, too. It's hard to do near a city (too many misguided laws), so that's frustrating, as I don't really want to live in the country.
I remember browsing the internet was much more of a networked thing. If you want to know what it was like you could take a look at Wikipedia, where you still can get lost in a never ending deeper web of links. However WikiPedia is a very cleaned up version of the early web. It lacks animated .gifs for sure.

But the difference with Wikipedia was that people would maintain a Links section full of interesting stuff and people would join web rings for various subjects, interlinking vastly different sites. Finding information often happened through Yahoo! (AltaVista was there too but it was lacking the quality of handpicked results) through a tree based discovery system, to continue through whatever you could find through links on an interesting page. Exchanging links was something that really frequently happened.

It resulted in an internet where you just kept clicking and discovering and digging. Sometimes also frustrating as browsers lacked tabs and I would navigate all links one by one by loading it and going back. I would forget how I arrived at a certain page sometimes because it was so deep and I never found the breadcrumbs again.
I actually downloaded a copy of the NYT article I was quoted in in 1996 specifically because I feared it would fall off the internet at some point.

It's behind a paywall now, but at least I have a digital copy!

I must mention that I greatly admire your pragmatic books on improving database performance, and they were a source of inspiration for the development of this tool.
That is exactly what peer review should do, to determine whether the idea has merit. But that isn't what has happened. Peer review which is a cornerstone to the academic/scientific community stumbled on style and didn't get to merit.
Probably for the same reason we didn't replace books with microfilm, which began to be used commercially in the 1920's. And microfilm can be "decoded" using simple magnification. No issues of software compatibility with document formats and whatnot.

The one I hate is when I find old forum posts explaining how to do something in the physical world and all the embedded photos are broken. Not because the image host went out of business or the user deleted them, but just because they didn't log in for a year and the host deactivated their account. This is why whenever I link a photo I upload it to my own server and I never change the URL.
It probably predates the blink tag, but I still think it needs it. Some marquee might help.
