digitalasset.zone | NYC and Zurich | SALARY: 160k-200k CHF/USD | ONSITE | For Zurich: EU-Passport holders or eligible to work in Switzerland, For NYC: Only people eligible to work in the US

We change the reconciliation industry with blockchain technology. We are probably one of the few companies world-wide that built a production-ready blockchain product and not only a POC.

Our platform delivers flexible infrastructure for regulated financial institutions to share processes and data securely, on a need-to-know basis, without the need for reconciliation. We have solid funding, and our clients include stock exchanges.

We have around 100 employees Zurich, NYC, Budapest, Sydney, London and Hong-Kong. We have these roles opened:

- Cryptography Engineer - Zürich or NYC: Secure multi-party computation (e.g. using zero-knowledge proofs), review cryptographical work with the team, groom and communicate the cryptographic aspects of our security roadmap, drive and manage vulnerability processes and third party cryptography audits.

- Lead Build Engineer - Zürich or NYC: Design, support and promote scalable practises for fast and seamless build, test and release engineering to adapt to growth and changes of the organisation.

- Security Engineer - Zürich or NYC: Reporting to the CSO and to our Head of Delivery, review software to ensure high level of confidentiality, integrity, availability. Swiftly Identify, track, classify, and manage vulnerabilities. Help secure infrastructure and services and, help identify and track outstanding risks. We're using Java and Scala for backend development, Haskell for DSL tools and formal methods.

- Software Engineer - NYC or Zürich: Be involved in all aspects of the software development life-cycle. Primary focus on Financial Services Post Trade but other functional domains are being investigated, too. We value a healthy mindset and attitude towards formal specifications and verification, as well as testing and quality. We use Java, Scala, and Haskell for backend development of new technology concepts. We look for strong engineers. Regardless of which language you use or how you learned it, we’re looking for people who can write clean, effective code

- Test Engineer - NYC or Zürich: Testing software is the whole team’s responsibility. Your job is to make sure the right things are tested, in the right way, at the right time. Identify weaknesses in code, plan and execute tests which will flush them out. Be a developer: You’ll need to wrangle our APIs, think about execution paths and edge cases, and come up with creative ways to break our products.

Weren't they re-classified as telecoms so that the FCC would be able to regulate them at all?

If the service is hacked and if the "update found" alert isn't a very rare event, users will not validate every single update against GitHub, and a place check would see an update, allowing the attacker to push code when an update is made. A good portion of users will run the infected code before the service is shutdown.

I never said it was easy. I said it was possible and doable.

And when you do get to the on-site, you may be met with (as I have and few others I've known have and some on HN have mentioned) a junior interviewer who isn't prepared to understand that they don't understand the problem maybe or its optimal solution, and that they are making a coding error, not matter how generously/graciously you put it. And then you have to allow them to come back to you and apologize for their error (which is fine- everyone is always learning, and no one has to be perfect!) after which they proceed to not hire you and hire a younger, less experienced programmer for the job. So yeah, ageism.
In another discussion on this site, somebody from academia had suggested contacting academics directly because most are usually happy to help. I suggest contacting the lead author [1] - perhaps they can mail you a link or the code itself.

I think I could actually hear my eyes rolling just now.
Please don’t ever recommend the internet quack Mercola to anyone. He will and probably has gotten people killed with the garbage on his site.
I imagine a lot of stock holders would move to replace the board if the board agreed with Cook.

> Tim Cook would have his self-respect.

I agree. And I hope he’d hold the line.

But I think the people of China would be worse off. Stockholders would be worse off. Apple would be worse off, which means as an American buying heir products it might make them slightly worse for me.

It is unfortunate that the Chinese government made those demands. By no means I am trying to defend the Chinese government. That said, there is a difference here. Apply was trying to comply with the laws in China (I cannot think of a single country where you can operate above the local laws). However, here in the US, it was requested by FBI, not a court order or subpoena. It is not fair to Apple or other companies by forcing them to enforce human rights while doing business. Google pulled out of China not because of human rights but because they were losing to Baidu in China market. It was more a business decision than anything else (Google spins it differently of course).
Kafka has come a long way. Kudos to confluent team.

I came across some projects which claim to be full or partial alternative to Kafka with better scalability and less operational overhead.

> the mental overhead of something like styled components

I've outlined a number of ways in which it reduces mental overhead, for instance removing SASS-specific syntax, reusing existing JS code, throwing errors for missing styles.

> Why don't you just have one component per JS file and a stylesheet with the same name as the component in the same directory?

Code this atomic is quickly a mess.

> (1) super easy to configure

This is not true if you wish to gain many of the benefits I've outlined.

> none of the five advantages listed are exclusive to Styled Components, but every one of its disadvantages is.

Six and the presence of all six within one solution is something I haven't encountered elsewhere (not to say it doesn't exist). Also to say every disadvantage is exclusive to SC is simply untrue.
Just throwing this out there, and it might be overly optimistic and even utopic, but wouldn't laxer intellectual property laws help with this? It could mean that these people could share (more of) their work, no matter where they're working.
Binando | Stuttgart, Germany | FRONTEND DEVELOPER (m/f) | Full-time | REMOTE or ONSITE

Join our engineering team and be part of managing thousands of waste containers that are equipped with our IoT sensors and improve the logistics of companies in the waste industry. We have a real impact and are able to optimize the logistics of our customers by up to 40%.

We are currently looking for a frontend engineer that has experience with any modern frontend framework (React, Vue, Angular, Ember, …), cares about good UI/UX design and is familiar with everything frontend. We are using Git and our CI/CD tool of choice is Drone.

Our tech stack is Ruby on Rails (Backend), PostgreSQL and Redis. Our mobile app is Android based and written in Kotlin, we also have one external service that is written in Java, but as our frontend engineer you will have nothing to do with it ;-)

We have not yet decided on how we will proceed with our frontend, currently it's simply Rails views with some plain javascript and jQuery. So you would be joining at the right time to decide how our frontend future looks like.

Hey all. I've just started publishing a new podcast, analysing the intersection of Technology, Politics and Philosophy, from an unapologetically far-left perspective.

You can find us on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/general-intellect-unit/i...), Soundcloud.com (https://soundcloud.com/giunitpod) and most likely on whatever podcast app you prefer to use.
The problem is that with a deflationary currency, the only risk you run into is if the amount of stuff drops because that's the only way this global currency would drop in value; the perceived amount of stuff it could buy drops. Every other investment has much greater risks, so why would people chose them? And what's saying the return would be higher for that stuff anyway when everyone's saving rather than spending, why would anyone spend their money on the output of your investment? Not saying you're wrong, I'm saying there's a very high likelihood it won't result in investments, far higher than I would like.

And it's good that you brought up land and property because that's exactly what I don't want people to invest in (unless they actually want to use it for production, like renting it out to people or companies) but housing is something a lot of people do invest in for retirement, especially in my country. I would much rather people invested it in their 401k, a mutual fund, their business idea, bonds or whatever would enable production. Inflation is a tax on people who have money in their mattresses, if you invest money rather than save it you will beat inflation over your life. That's what I want people to be incentivized to do, not to pile them up or freeze them in status symbols like homes.

And inflation can actually help the poor, it makes it much easier for them to pay off their debts as the principal decreases in value. It's the main reason poor farmers fought for bimetalism in Gilded Age America because rich bankers were making a killing on low inflation.
You're not shilling, you're just wrong. Its requirement is to be obscene with intent to abuse, threaten, or harass another person which is a strong safeguard most people want. It prevents revenge porn and the like. Not all porn.

Edit: The other provision requires the sender of obscenity to know the recipient is under 18 - this is worth re-evaluating in the light of two consensual teenagers, but is nowhere near the sky-is-falling everyone-goes-to-prison since it's hard to prove you know recipients of an anonymous message board.
DriveTribe (https://drivetribe.com) | London | Full-time | ONSITE

- Senior Front End Developer | £65-75k + equity
- iOS React Native Developer | Based on experience + equity

We're a social content startup founded by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, with financial backing from 21st Century Fox and Breyer Capital.

We're looking for a Senior Front End Developer and iOS React Native Developer to join us during a highly experimental period.

To illustrate the kind of things we're doing: We recently spun up a chat system in a month which has hosted multiple AMAs generating in ~2000 messages in a minute. I'm currently writing some optimisations that will allow the chat to handle this without massive performances hits and memory leaks. The mobile guys are doing the same.

Currently based in Kings Cross but moving to Moorgate soon, where there's free beer and cider on tap, free coffee from an on-site cafe, and cookies the size of your head (even if you have a really big head). There's also 10% time to work on open source or personal company-related projects.

Buzzwords: React, React Native, Redux, Flow, Jest, Webpack, Prettier, CSS (you'd be surprised)

As horrible as the regime was, you would not get arrested for having a walkie-talkie. And anyone could get a phone line, except there was a looong wait (years). And most likely you will end up on a "coupled" line, meaning that you and your neighbor will share the same line - you can listen in to your neighbor's conversation simply by picking up the phone.

I think the block characters are easier to read, but with a 4x4 grid the resolution is lower: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements

The resulting pixel resolution is a bit screwy, especially if you use a tall, thin font like the one I tend to. Too many pixels horizontally, too few vertically. The upper block/lower block characters might be better in terms of aspect ratio, but then the overall resolution is made even worse...

The 2x3 Braille grid makes a lot more sense.

If you had read the article beyond a few paragraphs, you would have realized that McCain introduced no such section to the bill in question. You're definitely part of the problem to have read that and taken it away as fact.

The article is illustrating a much deeper level of fucked up - the fact that Brietbart and other media outlets are singling out SpaceX here and misrepresenting the facts to demonize them, while turning a blind eye to the real pork - deeply entrenched interests like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, who've been siphoning billions out of government on space tech for decades. If anything, SpaceX has been disrupting the status quo there, opening the door to real market competition, in the long run reducing costs to taxpayers. The entrenched interests under threat are almost certainly behind these strangely framed (and outright dishonest) hit pieces.
Did anyone even stop to appreciate the irony of using a thing created for blind people to make something that will only ever be useful to people with sight, if at all?
What does this change in practice? Are contributors expected to do anything? Does the license or source code need to reference the DCO?

You wouldn't have a self contained lightning channel with every single merchant that has to be settled individually. I'm not sure what makes you think that, as my last post describes why the lightning network has "network" in the name.

I recommend you read the summary on lightning.network.
Those regions are already evaporating, on the brink of collapse because of their policies:

Their kids leave then don't come back and slowly, family by family, whole groups are forced to abandon the region; they're net emigration regions, especially when you count rural versus urban (eg, the pattern becomes clear when you look at Georgia minus Atlanta).

Their migrated children tend to be more liberal, as urban populations are in general. Starvation is a wonderful motivator to change social order, and help mix society.

Now, I'm not even arguing this is a good thing, but I'm pretty powerless to do much when I consistently vote to help those regions develop new industry and they consistently vote to overrule that.

So, I hope they enjoy what they voted for: they won the debate, now they can have their prize.
Uploading works fine, I can see and rotate my model but there is no option to sell models so I don't know.

None of those are alternatives. Jocko's creator now works for Confluent and it's not production ready or supported, more of a hobby project to recreate kafka in go without zookeeper.

SMF is a prototype RPC system and libraries based on the C++ Seastar framework, not a messaging system in itself. MapR-ES is part of the MapR hadoop/data platform and also not standalone.

If you want alternatives then look at NATS + NATS Streaming [1] or Apache Pulsar [2].
