SafeButler (YC S17) is hiring to modernize insurance
Solving our own pain point, we are automating insurance shopping for American consumers. After a quick signup, a consumer's insurance shopping and management are put on autopilot with us. Better deals automatically come to them for the rest of their lives. Switching takes only a single tap. It will save consumers time and money while giving them better protection.

Bugs in our system could mess up people's lives big time. If you take proud in writing code that "just works", if you love turning customer feedback into a deployed feature in minutes, you'll love it here. Practical experience with Python/Django, SQL and automated testing strongly preferred. Practical experience with Ruby/Rails or Java will be considered too.

Please contact danny@safebutler.com. We are a 4-person team based in Newark. At this point, Bay Area candidates only please.
I also wanted to nitpick this part of the article -- the neural network isn't determining the audio features; these are all hand-engineered features developed by The Echo Nest.

The neural network is trained to mimic collaborative filtering vectors from raw audio. It's a separate model from time signature, key, mode, tempo, loudness, etc.

I get constant metal versions of pop songs. Winterplay's Billie Jean was recommended to me for weeks on end. This week I have Turn down for what meets metal.

Seems like a small tweak to let us tell them we dislike this style of music. According to the article a -1 should be able to be put in that matrix (if that's actually how it works).

Also, I dislike that I lose music after a week. Which means I've lost a few good songs from their churn that I forgot to save.

Do you agree that TechCrunch's headline (and, by extension, HN's) is misrepresenting what the apology was actually for?

Regardless of if the criticism is justified, my point here is that there was no apology made for the planning/execution of the presentation itself -- just for the offense it caused to those who misunderstood the goals of the presenter.

It's one thing to believe an apology wasn't necessary. It's another thing to believe it's OK for "journalists" to massage this corporate non-apology into something more palatable.
Huh? You're misrepresenting reality, which is that dogs love us and we love our dogs. It's not complicated.

Now puppy mills and the like are not good, but the very concept of dog ownership is wholesome.

The router should provide the feature. E. G crossbar.io router has meta rpc enpoints and pub/sub events letting you inspect and react to any activity taking place. It's expensive on resources so you should use it sparingly, but it's very handy to get a grasp on what the hell is going on.

Very helpful context. While a lot of comments here have brought up points regarding the density of suburbs, I'm not sure they are familiar with East Cleveland or the sort of inner ring suburbs that exist in a less-sprawly city that includes street car suburbs like Shaker Heights and what I think is the densest city between Chicago and NYC in Lakewood.
You can ensure basic type safety by requiring an input T for the vertex, but you cannot ensure expression safety since T satisfies the type safety requirement, but not the requirements of the expression represented by the vertex.

You should look into Idris; what you describe is just another type.

Lots of voting systems have quorum rules.

Spec out and implement resource pinning, already. Like RFC 8246, but authored more with the user's interests in mind, rather than the service's.

As a show of nothing-up-the-sleeve, a service asserts that it's in a stable state and will continue to serve exact copies of the resources as they exist now—that they will not change out from beneath the client in subsequent requests. When a user chooses to use resource pinning, the browser checks that this is true, and if finding a new deployment has occurred, the browser will refuse to accept it without deliberate consent and action from the user (something on par with invalid cert screen).

This means that for a subset of services (those whose business logic can run primarily on the client side), the users need not trust the server, they need only to trust the app, which can be audited.

When deploying updated resources, services SHOULD make the update well-advertised and accompany it with some notice out of band (such as a post about the new "release", its changelog, and a link to the repo), so the new deployment may be audited.

When new deployments occur, clients SHOULD allow the user to opt for continuing to using the pinned resources, and services SHOULD be implemented in such a way that this is handled gracefully. This gives the user continuity of access while the user (or their org) is carrying out the audit process.

Areas where this would be useful:

- HIPAA compliance

- Web crypto that isn't fundamentally broken

- Stronger guarantees for non-local resources used in Web Extensions—in fact, the entire extension update mechanism could probably be more or less rebased on top of the resource pinning policy
Given the incredible amounts the USA spends on 'defence' one wonders where all the assets the pentagon buys are to help US citizens after a violent attack by the elements. Why isn't the army mobilized to help with all aspects of infrastructure including healthcare?

I mostly appreciate the points and discussion this article raises. How about, super intelligent but not 'ruling' per say AI. I mean if the super intelligent AI (better they) are really super intelligent, won't they want people to be involved? I'm sure a super intelligence can recognize egomania as not a great thing, even whilst it claims to know all the answers.

Also, please stop using the 'white male not oppressed line' if you have a bio like that. It just detracts from your points. Feel free to call me out for this, I don't care because it's a good point- white male here, with a math ph.d. (same as you) also, 30, have only for 8 months out of 30 years made more than minimum wage. To call out "white males" everywhere is a tiresome oppression itself. Let's let racism and sexism subside please in 2017.

The Jones act only prevents cabotage[1], which is to say shipping something between two places in the same country. It in no way prevents the Dominican Republic from shipping supplies or people, or any other country for that matter in shipping stuff there.

It's my opinion that while the Jones Act probably does increase the cost of shipping goods two and from the island, its not a magic catchall fixit - and beyond that, every report I've read makes it clear we've enough stuff there to take care of people, but its not making it from the places where it landed, to the places where people are - and therefor complaints about the Jones Act seem mostly to be political haymaking - as the old saying goes, never let a good crisis go to waste.

It's hard to contextualize $4.0B by itself. Quick Googling suggests it's more than went to Houston shortly after Harvey, less than eventually went to the New York area after Sandy (but that's the entire federal relief effort), far less than was needed for Katrina (but I didn't immediately see how much NO got from the feds).

In short, I don't think readers in this thread can tell if that's enough money or not, without doing a lot of research on their own.

I created a script years ago that looked for arbitrage opportunities on BTC-E, up to 4 trades deep, and it used the order books properly. I left it running, and was surprised that it actually found some arbitrage opportunities, around once every 3-4 minutes. Unfortunately the profits were always lower than 3-4 transaction fees of 0.2% each, so my dreams of getting rich quick got crushed.

I'm was actually surprised BTC-E didn't do something like that themselves, since the they don't have to pay any transaction fees, and they also had zero lag. It's like free money.
So if you really were talking about the foreground app and not just covering now, then why does one need to make a fake keyboard!? That makes no sense at all.
What we're trying to do at Dust is help non-technical founders "buy" and MVP. Of course it would be great if they end up iterating with the same developer and hopefully end up as co-founders, but it's difficult at this stage to split IP, especially if they haven't had that discussion. But you have a valid point and hopefully we will be able to come up with new ways to help permanent teams come to life through Dust. We'll make mistakes along the way, but we'll get there.

If you want to call someone else's statements 'propaganda', please provide evidence of it. Without it, the word has no meaning. Why is the GP, in particular, propaganda? It's substantiated with good sources.

Someone could as easily call your statements "proganda' and dismiss them. I could declare every comment on this thread or everything anyone says that disagrees with me to be propaganda. But what does the word mean at that point? Nothing - it becomes just a sound I make when I don't like something.

Getting down to evidence: On the Internet, we can find links to support any claim; metro.pr and someone's YouTube upload are not particularly persuasive to me - is there a better source? Also, if true, I'm not sure of the point of it - what does the conduct of Puerto Rican mayors have to do with the GP's post? If some mayors are behaving badly, it's ok for the federal government to fail in its responsibilities?

It's an impossible standard. Let the government without sin throw the first stone ...

This does not excite me. Honestly, it amounts to another dummy I have to look out for while driving.

I appreciate the tech and do look forward to a day when it's widely implemented but I'm not near convinced it's ready and lives are on the line here. "Insurance" can't fix that problem.

The media's outlook on Uber is always very fascinating to me. At least this article got things mostly factually correct, but the amount of times that blatant speculation and rumor have been published about Uber is astounding.

Before UberX, Uber followed all the laws to a tee. This article correctly points out, that only after lyft and sidecar were flaunting the law and getting away with it, did Uber decide it must do so as well in order to stay ahead of the competition.

Laws and regulations about new and innovative technologies and products are a grey area. While I don't agree with a lot of the shitty tactics Uber employed, I can say with confidence that 80% of the bad shit written about Uber is totally false.

In hindsight, Kalanick could have and should have handled things better. Looking at the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech, I find myself wishing there was a Kalanick out there pushing for innovation rather than letting the banks reign everything in and stifle it.
It is actually impressive how wide-band disturbances are. A hard-switches MOSFET can easily give you disturbances with bandwidths greater than 1 GHz. Closing a switch on a mains circuit can create high-energy wide-bandwidth disturbances in the power line, easily coupling everywhere.

Centralized logging, with a track and trace ID that is passed around and logged.

As much as the current administration deserves blame for the mishandling of this crisis, I think it's disingenuous to stop the conversation there.

The island was pretty much wiped out. Even with billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of people, you'd still have people dying. Right from the article:

> The Puerto Rico Department of Health has sent just 82 patients to the Comfort over the past six days, even though the ship can serve 250. The Comfort’s 800 medical personnel were treating just seven patients on Monday.

They do have resources, but I bet it's just extremely difficult to move people and supplies around on an island that is barely above water. You just can't fight nature and expect to come out with no losses.

Also, the heartless cynic in me thinks that the powers that be are letting this get a little drawn out so the poor people on public health assistance die off and eat up less resources. If 6,000 people no longer need dialysis, you're saving $300,000,000/year.

Boston that people talk about is really Boston and surrounding cities, much like New York City is made up of the 5 boroughs with Manhatten being New York County, Boston proper includes a few different cities inside of it like Mattapan, South Boston, Roxbury and the Greater Boston area includes Somerville and Cambridge. Many people outside of NYC would easily confuse Long Island as being part of NYC since it's part of the metro area.

Ironically, part of the reason traffic in Boston is so poor is due to not wanting to destroy poorer areas when roads were being built.

We are talking low turn out votes, even in the US we have low turnout. People boycott the whole system here and don't vote at all. So you are arguing that our results aren't correct because people stopped voting?

If you are saying that because PR had a boycott and some didn't vote that the vote is a fraud, then you could say the same about ANY vote in the US because people boycott or don't vote because they don't believe in the system or think it is rigged etc or many other reasons.

That is why you have to vote, boycotting votes is not smart, probably the worst use of a boycott ever as it takes your power away. Usually boycotts are to gain power i.e. not purchasing from a certain company. Boycotting a vote isn't even worth mentioning, it is just not smart.

> I'm really not sure why people assume it is an MD.

Not sure why you're unsure. It's one of the first 'professions' people get introduced to (as kids), and that label is there. "Tell the dr XYZ", "let's go to the dr", etc. It's a "doctor's office".

There's few other professions the general public interacts with with a label in front of it all the time, and it's almost always the medical one we know first, and most often.

Outside of academic settings, the 'dr' title doesn't get used much except by medical professionals.
As far as I can see there's no mention to encryption, the OP describes how scalar multiplication works on elliptic curves.

To encrypt/decrypt, for example, you can use the ElGamal scheme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElGamal_encryption
(note that wikipedia uses the multiplicative notation, while in ECC typically additive notation is preferred, so you'll have to translate every A^x into xA -- but it's a good exercise.)

It may be true that no city fits what Amazon wants, but I think Atlanta comes very close. It has plenty of housing, low cost of living, major airports, universities, a large population, and a decent rapid transit that could be expanded given a catalyst like Amazon. I think Amazon should opt for a low cost, big city, and let that city build around Amazon.

From paragraph 2 of TFA:

> Before continuing it makes sense to mention client-side pagination. Some applications transfer all (or a large part) of the server information to the client and paginate there. For small amounts of data client-side pagination can be a better choice, reducing HTTP calls. It gets impractical when records begin numbering in the thousands.
Hey...

I think we might be more on the same page than not. Money problems is exactly the level that we should be talking about it.

What I was reacting to and labelling “macro politics” is trying to relate this to the most abstract (relative to the issue at hand) political viewpoints. On one side, calling for a Misesian creative destruction. On the other hand, insisting that the root of the problem is racism in the 70s and that’s what needs to be addressed.

To me, it seems like a problem of financing localities that have particularly bad balance sheets. That’s what I mean by practical and I think we agree on it mostly.

This is a very common problem. Every country that has locally financed authorities runs into it. Maybe a locality is poor (like this one). Poor people still have the same sewage needs as rich people, but they pay less tax. Maybe a local real estate is cheap or low turnover, and tax is tied to property values or real estate sales. Maybe the commercial-residential split is important?

I’m not particularly in any camp about how to fix it. It’ll depend on whatever the norms of the place are. I don’t know American norms so well, but there are an ultimately finite set of options. Maybe merging/gerrymandering is the right idea.

I’m not unsympathetic to your gripes either. I also think my country (ireland) has had (and still has) bad financial management, morally questionable bailouts, official public debt and a scarier unofficial stack of liabilities like pensions and other hand-me-downs.

But, are you really going to draw a line in this sand? A poor suburb that can’t afford police or sewage, because the way a map was drawn left it with more liabilities than income?
Where is the data from? How does Detroit not have enough housing to support such a company? I'm guessing a lot of cities can build enough housing. Detroit especially has lots of housing--maybe not new builds in certain areas, but they are tearing down blocks of houses right now and people can buy houses for 15k. I question the article's data.
I also don't like music or distractions when coding, maybe unless it's "mechanical" like another user commented. I didn't know about the play command and generating noise though, that's really cool! Saving that command for sure.

It's usually integers modulo p (p prime), which is a field.

Edit: but yes, the OP writes "integers (Z) are a field", which is wrong. Integers form a ring.
