eBay | www.ebay.com | New York | NYC | Full Time | ONSITE | jobs@ebaynyc.com | VISA ok

Seeking experienced (5+ years) applied researcher. 50% coding and 50% data science. We’re changing the way 1st party advertising works at eBay. Currently, we fix search river “ads” into specific locations even when those “ads” are items already for sale on eBay. Search for “iphone case” and you will see sponsored listings at specific fixed locations on the page (Slot 4,5). We’re going to challenge the fixed slot model and let sponsored listings change slots dynamically based on factors such as salability, monetization and relevance. This involves big changes to internal goals and algorithmic optimizations. The details are still being worked out so there is plenty of white space for innovation. If you are entrepreneurial, can fight for and code the right solutions we want you.

Go to a Lego store and raid the pick a brick wall
Context: The text details an exchange of supplies and silver between Elyashiv, the quartermaster of the Arad fortress and Ḥananyahu, possibly his peer at Beer Sheba, located one day's walk (ca. 25 km) to the west. Elyashiv and Ḥananyahu seem to be on friendly terms, with the letter possibly continuing an earlier personal communication. The letter begins with an affectionate salutation (“Your friend Ḥananyahu [hereby] sends greetings to [you] Elyashiv and to your household”) and continues with a blessing from God (“I bless [you] by Yahweh”). This is followed by the mention of a receipt sent by Ḥananyahu (“when I left your house I sent the receipt to Ge'alyahu”). Requests regarding a certain purse and an amount of silver (“in the sum of 5 Xar”), as well as oil (“if there is still any oil left at your [p]ost—send it”) are made, along with a call to avoid sending a certain commodity, the name of which is indiscernible (“[…] drop it, don't send it!“). The last part of the recto contains some decipherable signs and letters, which, however, do not amount to a coherent text.

I'd like to pre-program the wristband to wake me up in case my phone (my main alarm clock) turns off for some reason.
That would be incredibly expensive.

GNU coreutils and the broader GNU operating system is an extreme exercise in bloated and overengineered software. It's the antithesis of everything I like Alpine for. Give me a POSIX coreutils and I'm happy. Actually using any of GNU's extensions is an antipattern.
Thank you so much! Link should be fixed.
And every startup would again be having to worry about patent trolls.

Patent rights have not diminished one bit. What has diminished is the ability of patent trolls to abuse the patent system, and more review allowing for patents that should not have been granted in the first place to be revoked.

Slacks (not jeans except fridays), button down (not tucked in), and a kind of dirty pair of Nike sneakers ( I rotate pairs but really should wear some nicer shoes). I work at a healthcare non profit that cares about appearance I guess? I've been pushing the limits lately though and no one seems to mind.

But yeah at first it bothered me that I had to "dress up" for work. Now I don't mind it - the uniform kind of allows you to separate your personal self from your work self. Which can be healthy sometimes. Personally I was a raised in a household with parents that are doctors, and their work is their identify in a lot of ways. So yeah becoming more comfortable/cognizant with what I wear/how I look has been an interesting process. But one day I'll wear shorts and chacos into a office and love life.

REMOTE or ONSITE (London) Android Native Developer – Pony Bikes http://getapony.com/

Pony Bikes is the smartest bike sharing system in the world, aiming at putting everyone on the planet on a bike. We have successfully launched in the UK and France with hundreds of Pony bikes grazing around.

No docking. No hassle. No limits.

The role:
We are looking for a talented and experienced Android developer to own the Android app development effort. The app is an essential part of the product and is the main point of contact with the customers. This means that the app must be top quality and resilient (as our users might be using the app in less than ideal conditions e.g. poor connectivity, low GPS precision).

You will be working directly with the Head of Mobile to ensure that the app is consistent both in terms of UX and architecture with the existing iOS app (which is currently a bit more developed than its Android counterpart).

Main role:
- Evolve our Android app from MVP to world-class app
- Make sure that the UX is perfect and our users have a seamless experience while riding our bikes
- Ensure that the app will work in several regions and languages (Pony Bikes is currently operating in Oxford, UK and Angers, France)

The ideal candidate:
- Excellent communication skills (English)
- Strong self management skills
- Previous experience with RxKotlin is a huge plus
- Shipped a world-class app before (preferably more than once)
- Must be capable of owning the Android development. You'll be part of a small team where every contribution counts, and you're encouraged and expected to deliver great value to our loving customers

Details:
- Competitive Pay (£35k - £60k)
- Equity / stock options
- Free biking!

We looked at a Bolt. We mostly liked it, except the seats are incredibly uncomfortable. I'm not even close to obese, and the seat bottoms were just too narrow to be comfortable. It is odd, as there is plenty of space to either side of the seat with the doors closed .. they could have made them wider, but chose not to.

At least one reviewer agrees: https://youtu.be/d2ogGZXmepY?t=626

That's a misquote. Lidar is down to $10k from $90k. With the acquisition of Solid state lidar startup Strobe, they hope to get the costs down to ~$300. It's not clear if that's a per-unit cost, or a per-vehicle cost.

For sensors Cruise's Bolts currently use 14 cameras, 3 articulating radars, 8 regular radars, 5 Velodyne32 ultrapuck Lidar units, and 10 ultrasonic proximity sensors.
agunix is dead, I killed the server the other day. I never quite accomplished the goals I set out with and had to make too many compromises. I might eventually try again with a different approach or just contribute to Alpine until I run out of gripes.

I'm really sorry you're getting downvoted, because there is a lot of useful data in your comment. And I think we definitely see eye to eye on this:

> The throwaways are talking safety features. I used to think that was a benefit of C++ over C. Following Worse is Better, that's no longer true: the ecosystem effects of C produced so many verification and validation tools that it's C language that's safer than C++ if one uses those tools. There's piles of them for C with hardly any in FOSS for C++ if we're talking about static/dynamic analysis, certified compilation, etc. I put $100 down that a CompCert-like compiler for C++ won't happen in 10 years. At best, you'll get something like KCC in K Framework.

Lots of people think additional safety features result in safer code. They likely do most of the time, but when you need to swear to investors, to the public and to the FDA that your machine will not kill anyone, what you want to have is results from 5 verification tools with excellent track records, not "my language does not allow for the kind of programming errors that C allows". Neither does Ada, and yet they crashed a rocket with it, with a bug related to type conversion in a language renowned for its typing system (not Ada's fault, of course, and especially not its typing system's fault -- just making a point about safety features vs. safety guarantees).

A more complex language, with more features, is inherently harder to verify. The tools lag behind more and are more expensive. And, upfront, it seems to me that it is much harder to reason about the code. C++ does not have just safety features, it has a lot of features, of all kind.
I'm Thai and can confirm. Words with five different intonations can have totally different meanings.
Yes, parent poster was laughable. Though I will give him only this one thing. Tesla is positioned better than anybody else on battery supply. GM can produce as many EVs as they want when they decide to do it, as they have a lot of factories and sales channels, and as seen with the Bolt they have just-in-time production and mass manufacturing mostly figured out ... unlike Tesla. But GM is dependent on LG Chem to actually make the batteries, and from what i've ready LG Chem has already announced their plans and it's not enough to make hundreds of thousands of vehicles for next year (though maybe the year after...)

But I also do not think Tesla can pull off a significant ramp up on the Model 3. I think numbers for next year will be below 100,000.
Yes, I am a big fan of that game! It comes fairly close to that eurostyle board game and once I figured out how to play it I was having a great time. Its still fairly confrontational, as in you need to be raiding fellow player's bases to gain an advantage, but otherwise its pretty good.

Beauty is one of the functions of a building. Pursuing "form over function" without considering beauty leaves you with a shantytown.

>Who gets to decide what is beautiful?

If one of the goals of a building is for people to visit it and to spend time around it and to enjoy the experience, then the community of people who will have to live with the building should have the most say about what is beautiful for them. One issue with some architects is that they don't have "skin in the game" when it comes to the buildings they design. They can come up with interesting concepts and visions that may seem appealing as a model or impressive to their peers, but if they don't have to walk by it every single day, then their opinions about what is beautiful should not be a dominating and overriding factor.

In the specific case of university donors, they have a particular vision for what the aesthetics should be, and it's their support that makes the university continue to run well and it's their personal connection to the university that makes them care. Their objectives of beauty should be more important in that particular case than a designer who will be moving on to the next project.

Cobalt builds autonomous security robots that keep buildings secure by combining the reliability of machines and the friendly face of human-in-the-loop “pilots”. Security costs US companies $33B / year, and is a very difficult task for humans to perform because of long monotonous hours. We’re a team of 12 and are raising our Series A.

We have robots deployed to customers throughout San Francisco and are an incredibly fast moving team - we went from nothing to shipping our first robots in 12 months! We're looking for folks who know more than us and can bring their expertise to the team.

————Three Reasons to Join Cobalt————

We ship complex products - fast! We went from nothing to paid robot deployments in 12 months, and do over-the-air updates to our robots every two weeks.
Our team hails from Google[X], SpaceX, MIT, Harvard, and Georgia Tech. Both founders have deep experience in Robotics and have previously started YCombinator backed companies.
We are collaborative, respectful and fun-loving, and want to hire folks who feel the same way.

Frontend Engineer: Lead development of control interfaces and dashboards to help humans and machines work together.

Full-stack Web Engineer: Build out React + Django stack to provide intelligence, resiliency, and monitoring to the Cobalt fleet.

Systems Engineer: Improve Linux systems to increase reliability and performance wherever our system touches the OS.

Security Engineer: Protect our cloud infrastructure, our client interfaces, and our robots from network or physical threats.

Designer: Shape the visual style of our web designs, robot control interfaces, dashboards, and marketing materials.

Just that. I understand the Logan Act and all but I don't think anyone has ever been charged with that. And impeached over it? I think you need a super majority in the Senate for that - if Trump gets impeached over what's stated here it'll because of all the other crazy stuff he's done.

Who knows though - maybe Flynn has some real dirt viz a vie the Russians but color me skeptical.

I'm implementing filtering in a graphql api now, on a sql backend (a fixed constraint). We decided we just can't support arbitrary filtering. Full table scans don't scale, and an index for every column is costly. So we'll support it only on indexed columns and add indexes selectively.

If graphql did require arbitrary filtering it would be useless to us at this point.

Maybe it’s just me but I’ve tried and failed several times to restore an iCloud backup. A backup isn’t a real backup unless the restoration is tested. Unfortunately iCloud backups would just never finish restoring for my device, whereas restoring iTunes backups just works. So I usually set up a recurring calendar item to remind myself to backup to my computer (which then get backed up again using Time Machine and CCC). It’s sad that I have to do this.
Can you provide some evidence? I'm not being snarky. I genuinely don't know how we know this will work.

Being suddenly young again would certainly be delightful for a while but there's a huge psychological burden that comes with living for a long time

Such as what exactly? No-one knows - including you - because no-one has ever run old "software" on young/rejuvenated "hardware". I think that 99% of people in failing hardware given the option to try their 18- or even 30-year old bodies again would jump at the chance and worry about vague hand-wavy "psychological burdens" later - or perhaps not ever if the new body didn't age...

High Tech High Life: Gibson and Leary in Conversation
Honestly I had a change to sit in one recently and found the interior materials, seats, etc. to be pretty bad for the price.

The big digital displays were nice, but the rest of the interior seemed about on par for a Honda Fit or Chevy Sonic type vehicle, and significantly worse than something like a 2017 CRV (my daily driver).

It felt like a sub $20k car with electric guts and some (admittedly nice) tech gadgets added on. It's also weird that there is no adaptive cruise control available, a feature that's present now on some cars that are $10k cheaper.

To be fair haven't seen what the interior of a $35k Model 3 looks like either, all of the photos and units that have shipped have had the more expensive 'Premium' interior option.

Making a good n-way game is really difficult. Even for 3 players, either the player in last place can affect which of the other two wins, or they can't; either answer is bad. Videogames these days seem to mostly be one team versus another team, which avoids that problem - there's no such thing as player elimination if there are only two "players" (the teams).
