Vulpos | Blockchain Real Estate Project | Equity + Salary | Core-team expansion | CTO position

Vulpos is building the future of real estate by enabling you to own a home anywhere you go.

Millennials are not buying homes anymore. At the same time, rents are rising.

The renter position is getting weaker while landlords are getting stronger.

We are creating a cryptocurrency, a token, specifically designed for to solve this problem.

As a holder of the token you can use it to stay in apartments or homes for a short stay or to live in for years.

Imagine flexibility of Airbnb with the level of consistency and service of a Common.com house while paying the price of your regular rental.

Additionally you can rent the token out if you are not in need of the spaces we provide.

Every token-holder is essentially a micro-real estate investor that way by having the opportunity to earn some money on the tokens you own.

We are looking for an outstanding individual that is fearless in taking contrarian challenges in conventional markets by creating solutions for complex technological problems.

You will join a team of execution-minded individuals with a proven real estate investing track record and a commitment to change the world for the better.

Are you interested in working on this project or do you have any questions, let me know through a message here or my direct email fadi [at] vulpos.com
Best,

Linux doesn't require 2.7, and will be switching soon. But you can remove most of the pain from a future migration by just adding the following to all your 2.7 code and changing your code.

Note that these future modules were all available in 2.6 which was released in 2008. But just like the ruby 2.0 upgrade people procrastinate. But you only have 2 years before python 2.7 is no longer maintained.

This guy started with a hypothesis and then set out to prove it by looking for evidence. He then said the evidence was missing (hacked off) but his hypothesis was still true. Really, it is not very persuasive.
Not sure why they'd think that, there's been video games (some good ones, even), there are regular limited edition watch releases, perfume, there's plenty of product placement in the movies themselves (cars, bikes, drinks...). Could they do much more of it without going over the top? It's not that clear.
I am starting to think that in spite of being more expensive than a desktop gaming computer, going iPhone is starting to be the only viable alternative.

Either that or back into feature phones, because I don't see any other mobile OS alternative winning over Android, regarding general public.

Hahah, nice find - thanks for the entertainment. I gotta admit, he's got talent for this and some aspects of his "work" are well-done. Clearly there's creativity and effort involved in coming up with these "product" ideas, putting together slick presentation material, marketing via social network..

Major insights and concerns for building a service marketplace
A lot of people in this thread seem to believe people should remain ignorant of technology. How many people understand how a car or airplane works - at least in theory? A technology recruiter should be able to know this (or at least pick it up on the job when polite explanations are given to them). And it would be beneficial to broader society if people had at least a surface level understanding of computers (like how airplanes generate lift, how combustion engines work, and how source code is used; so that when someone says Linux is a common variant of UNIX, they understand what that means from a source code perspective).

Perhaps it's in our best interest to keep these people ignorant; we do get paid a lot of money. Perhaps society has decided it's not important for most people to know, and that it's alright to be ignorant (though this leads to common problems we complain about every day). But whatever the reason, this person was doing the right thing by trying to educate the person in a pretty polite way. Sure he could play the game and get the job. But it's still frustrating.
Because it uses existing infrastructure rather than requiring the construction of pipelines.

Plus I don't see why pipelines wouldn't work; assuming you could just carry the balls along with water and use a diverter of some sort to separate the balls from water at the pumping stages.

The article mentions that it's more environmentally friendly. The balls float on water and apparently can't be poaked easily. That's a plus in my book.
It doesn't matter. In both scenarios it's off the twitter site and backups still exist.

Yeah why waste time on someone that's correcting you, because you know what's best. Good luck to you and your company finding talented people.

> spin-offs and cinematic universes.

I suspect it is about this. TV shows, spin-off movies based on Felix...

But I think that would tarnish the brand. Bond has always been about long-awaited epic movies, not yearly re-hashes of the same stuff.
Ignoring any privacy implications, terminating https on the load balancer means the load balancer will use more cpu and memory than if it was just a tcp terminating load balancer or working at layer 2. In a lot of architectures, the load balancer may not have as nice of a failover story as the hosts behind it, minimizing state on the load balancer could make state syncing possible for a quicker failover. If you're running load balancing appliances, those tend to be expensive, so you probably want to let them only do what they have to, so you don't need to buy more of them.
Why use bit fields at all instead of straightforward bit math then? They're not really convenient and have weird alignment rules already.
Article is massively editorialised.

Here is the full unedited complaint about Rod: http://archive.is/h6lem

Here is the full unedited complaint about Ashley: https://archive.is/UUYwt

The largest of the three items against Rod - and the only one to do with diversity - was that Rod linked to a Quilette article about codes of conduct on Twitter https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707841 .

People looked at Ashley's tweets for comparison - generally people are allowed to have personal politics, but if they aren't, 'kill all men' isn't a good thing to tweet https://twitter.com/ag_dubs/status/761962956431187968 - and this is described by his article as some kind of inappropriate 'hostile' 'dredging'? Ashley is an excellent contributor to both node and rust, and is pissed off about sexism for legitimate reasons, but she has indisputably tweeted sexist things that violate the CoC (if the CoC does indeed apply to Twiter) - even if they're responding to sexism with sexism.

Node isn't imploding. A small and very vocal group of people hate Rod because they don't like his politics and dislike the decision.

Well the obvious is you need a pipeline, to transport via pipeline - and that can take decades to put in place, and sometime is politically challenging as we've seen with Keystone XL. There are already railways that go everywhere.

Next - right now, you need special tanker cards to transport oil via rail - and latency on those can be on the order of years if you want to scale up.

What's neat about this invention, is that it can transport oil in a form that, if I read correctly, isn't as catastrophic when spilled as an oil tanker would be, and, also importantly, can use rail cars that were designed for something else (the author cites Coal) - so no need to wait a few years (and spend $$$) for special tanker cars - there are a zillion idle coal cars right now.

This article captures part of the significant economic incentive as well:

This happens all the time. Recruiters are Sales people. They don't want to learn technical things. It's not in their interest to know what Unix is. They just want to validate whether you are good and if so, sale you the position.

The proper response here is:
"I have experience in Linux and Unix. Updated resume is attached." Done.

You need to treat them like he's your old uncle. Use minimal technical words, repeat what they ask/say and most importantly respect them.

Someone could really abuse this service, I don't see any mention of API limits.
Since he's just advocating for people to join credit unions in general, I don't think it's a problem either way. But it looks like the latter from what I can see.
I know I shouldn't feel that way, but as a developer who loathes Python, this is a painful read. I start to feel that if I can't fight the trend then I should join it. But then every time I try Python, I feel such unease because of the low performance and the dynamic typing.

It's just something I don't understand... this is really depressing to me.
Yea man, I hate it when people are expected to know enough to do their jobs effectively too. Thank god there are heroes like the recruiter in this post who have the courage to stick to their ignorance even when the situation is politely explained to them.
char fn1(float p1) {

That's undefined behavior. Don't complain about performance.

I find that the idea of "climate engineers" and "geo engineering" has markers which will make it appeal to the same people currently peddling climate denial.

My running bet/prediction is that

1) the imbroglio in America on climate denial will continue,

2) most of the world will feel happy that they are doing less than it should, but more than the stat

3) Eventually someone will sell the idea of !!GEO ENGINEERING!! to the same people they feed all sorts of Denialism.

This will sell well because it has "WE'LL MAKE THE WORLD GREAT AGAIN! WITH HARD WORK AND GUMPTION", and will of course be subsidized by the Government so it will have "JOB CREATION!" written all over it. I could write a satirical Ad for it today, and be assured that its twin will play for real in 20 years.

While this comes across as deeply cynical (it isn't cynical enough), it's based on the debacle that is Environmental Protection, from before I started reading news papers in the 1980s.

The news today may be dominated by what America is doing, but lets not forget that it was and still is a MASSIVE uphill struggle to get people to care for decades.

And I am ignoring the effects of funding into Climate Denialism , and FUD campaigns.

In the end people are going to always choose themselves over the environment.

In a world where clean coal can be marketed, "Climate Engineering" sounds like an entire industry waiting to be born.

sorry, I wish I had something more optimistic to say.
I think the devil is in the details of that opaque 'position' type.

With integers you can do things like concatenate two strings and adjust the indexes referring to the second string by adding the length of the first one. If you invent a new position type you have to add support for several things like this.

In any case I think the Python people were right to carry on using integers.

Something that I always feel the need to point out: Bond in the books is a British gent, Bond of the movies isn't and never has been. He's a member of the lower orders who passed. The villains are pretty much always onto him as not fitting, but he styles it out. Sean Connery being Scottish worked perfectly for this. Kingsman, not a bond movie but understanding the genre completely, makes the theme explicit.
> Let's assume the constraint that the OP will refuse to lie.

This constraint is invalid. People need to use contextual awareness. The recruiter is most likely not a technical person, so splitting hairs won't help. And based on a bit of knowledge about Facebook, it's highly unlikely that a company that prides itself on building its own data centers from scratch will actually use a creaky AIX 7.1 for their backend, so you just "lie". Heck, it's not even a lie, it's a white lie which you'll tell the engineer interviewer down the line, while explaining that you have POSIX/whatever experience.

In my opinion this whole exchange shows a need for improvement regarding people skills for OP, at least in writing. Considering it's an internship, this was probably a good moment for a wake-up call.
>> Is this the kind of path where WebAssembly could be beneficial?

Yes but not exclusively.

Quoth http://webassembly.org/docs/use-cases/ for use cases:
Image / video editing.
Games.
Peer-to-peer applications.
Music applications (streaming, caching).
Image recognition.
Live video augmentation (e.g. putting hats on people’s heads).
VR and augmented reality (very low latency).
CAD applications.
Scientific visualization and simulation.
Interactive educational software, and news articles.
Platform simulation / emulation (ARC, DOSBox, QEMU, MAME, …).
Language interpreters and virtual machines.
POSIX user-space environment, allowing porting of existing POSIX applications.
Developer tooling (editors, compilers, debuggers, …).
Remote desktop.
VPN.
Encryption.
Local web server.
Common NPAPI users, within the web’s security model and APIs.
Fat client for enterprise applications (e.g. databases).
So was Star Wars. But it turns out it's more profitable as the latter.
It depends on the use case. Say you want to get all images on a page you'd just use `img`. If you are going to find JSON-LD blocks defined in a set of pages, you can use - `script[type='application/ld+json']`.

For MVP, I wanted to give the option of free-form selectors and then offer more targeted queries based on what people use.

I am not an evangelist of any form, but running python code with pypy isn't that bad in terms of performance (especially given the ease of writing the actual code), and you can use type hints if you like since 3.5 : https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html

He may have assumed that at some point someone in the hiring pipeline would _not_ be an idiot (or in your words, "would be autistic") and may notice his false claim. Especially for a college student applying for an internship, it's a little much to expect him to know exactly where lying on your resume is appropriate. (At some point he said "I have experience in Linux and UNIX" and the moron on the other end still referred to his resume saying Unix-like).

I think you may be extrapolating your own experience of "not being autistic" (by your definition) a little too widely.
the EPA is killing it..
Which non-Google service was it?
Can you clarify what makes you say that the EPA is "so large that it is no longer effective"? Everything I've heard about the situation inside the EPA makes it sound more like they're desperately short on staff and funding and they're doing the best that they can within those limitations. The problem isn't lack of focus; it's lack of resources.

It's not as if the EPA has been growing unchecked; conservative politicians have been doing their best to gut its funding or render it toothless for decades now, going back at least as far as Reagan. If you're not happy with the current situation, it seems unlikely that continuing down the path of defunding the EPA will improve it.
Don't forget that planes release their pollution higher up in the atmosphere which intensifies the global warming effect.
"Resolved", not "fixed".

You can't "fix" an obviously intentional decision of having an ad panel in a keyboard widget.
The idea of charging $5 was a stop gap measure to prevent abuse.

There are limits set for access token too. I actually rushed to ship before putting out a TOS which mentions limits.
Predicting it now. A large part of the "why" is going to be because of the jump in data science. Python is an incredibly kind language to new comers in the sense that it allows you to just get started. A lot of people are making bigger jumps into data science (purely anecdotal) in the sense that they are programming more around it. Scraping data, cleaning data, etc is also really easy with Python.

Devops stuff is also a great one to pair with Python.

Reason I'm predicting this: I've kept an eye on Python+Flask /Django jobs for over a year now, and while I see "Python" show up more frequently now, "Flask" and "Django" are still about as frequent as they were in the past.

Looking forward to the "why" post. Glad that they mentioned that they'll be publishing that soon.
They'll be running the JVM in a Docker container in Linux written in JS in the browser compiled to web assembly running on a Rust WebOS. But it will be okay, because it the hardware will be a 1024 core quantum processor.
As do I. I bought my first ever iPhone just recently. The ads inside the keyboard were the last straw.
You cant migrate from GraphQL to Postgress. The two technologies cant possibly replace each other - either way.
I'm one of the developers of the Apollo iOS client, so I'm definitely interested in hearing your feedback. I know we're missing some features compared to the JavaScript client, but both the Android and iOS clients seem fairly stable and are used in production. I'm especially intrigued by the need for a 'custom mutex and other painful tricks'. Maybe this isn't the venue for detailed discussion, but please open an issue on one of the repos or post a message on #android or #ios on the Apollo Slack so we can dive into this further!
I highly doubt this is unintentional like they claim. They were testing the waters for backlash. I can count all the times I accidentally put ads in my software on one hand, using zero fingers.
do you want a job at one of the most prestigious companies or do you value being right on a minute detail more? I would have just added the word "unix" to my resume and moved on with my life.
The other answer show exactly the good code lines.

To describe it fast : I keep an history of frequency (size customable) and compare the subscribed frequency range to its relative history max / min value. I get a percentage out of it that i give to the dance function associated to this specific class.
I don't understand why you felt necessary to leave out the recruiter name. I personally would really like to know this person and try to avoid her/him by all means possible, saving me (and all the others, who will know him) a ton of time and consequently punishing this recruiter for his incompetence and inability to learn the actual thing he is recruiting for.

We (developers) want the recruiting, interviewing and hiring processes to be improved and optimized to not let this sort of things happen again, yet when it comes to actual actions to take, we just decide to post it as a "look, another funny incompetent recruiter!" post. As time shows, this post will not change anything and these people will continue harassing and denying interviews for good developers. Today it was a fresh graduate; tomorrow it can be me or you.

So please, do share the name of this recruiter.
Bitmoji, part of Snap Inc (Snapchat).
Awesome stuff. You know you've made something great when most of the HN comments about your project are positive :)
Yeah, I definitely see that, and it worries me as well.

I do believe that the concept of tolerance can go too far, and that simply tolerating intolerant people can actually give you a worse outcome than censoring them. But I'm afraid that the left (of which I consider myself a part) goes too far sometimes. It's taboo to even try to discuss some topics, and people who don't understand and are just trying to learn get slapped down. That's not helping.

Could you fill up an issue on github with all your specifications ? I think this is worth investigating.
Does anyone have experiences using GraphQL in production? Trying to understand if GraphQL will be a good alternative to REST for new projects or is GraphQL being hyped up like mongoDB was 7-8 years ago.
No, once you let the SJW's in and let them weaponize personal politics this is the result. Everyone that asked "what's so objectionable about a code of conduct?" now has their answer.
Nice, although I'm wondering which company will trade efficiency (using spheres to transport a liquid means you have lots of "wasted" space) for environmental safety... without a law imposing it, at least.

Maybe the economic incentive of balls just "rolling away" (thus remaining recoverable) in the event of a pipeline/tanker/carriage leak could balance this?
Sure, as long as we can have a white Shaft.

Seriously though, Britishness (in the genetic sense) is a fundamental part of James Bond's character. He isn't just British by citizenship, he's emblematic of Britain.
I have an apress book by Troelsen and there are numerous errors including in the code samples, plenty of waffle, and no errata on the apress website.

It's actually a utility I built for my own use (I bootstrap Pragma full-time). I thought there might be an interest among other developers for a similar utility. That's why I thought to put it out (wanted to charge $5 so I can reduce abuse).

If you are interested in using it for a larger app and concerned about support, please drop me an email (see profile). I can set you up an instance with better rate limits and service gurantees.
Highly doubt should be changed to don't believe. There's no way you add an advertisement "unintentionally" into something as integral to a phone as the keyboard and not realize it when doing basic sanity testing. I can believe that it was unintentional that the ad was shown by default (it may have been an option to display ads which was enabled by default) but the fact it is present is absolutely intentional.
There are plenty of nimbys around Lake Washington. Even if one was to improve transit more on the east side of the lake, population density is low enough because of the lack of multifamily housing that it's a losing game.

People with long commutes that don't want the corresponding increase in traffic are probably justified. I personally wanted light rail to go out to Redmond, but that seems hung up on three counties (not just King).

I left Seattle just before Capital Hill and the U-District were served by light rail though. Maybe things have changed.
