Also, those buildings will age gracefully and never look stupid.

Ezra and Morse have also aged well, neither "looks stupid", and both were modern when built.

Anyway, the new colleges are certainly beautiful. I'm sure they will age well. But, it is slightly disappointing that few architectural/stylistic risks were taken in the design.
lol if you think the "religious wars" would end. You can't reason someone out of a conclusion they didn't reason themselves into.

Mention HN and you'll be fast-tracked. We're just looking for Toronto people. If you're really excited to work with us and think you're really exceptional but not in Toronto feel free to contact us, but know that we're aiming to build out the Toronto local team right now.
I don't believe in absolute truth so perhaps I didn't make my statement ambiguous enough as to that topic.

But I do agree that forcing others to believe is the opposite of truth, and I did not mean to equate truth with that.
Thank you. Means a lot.

It's been the most interesting journey I've had to date. Unsure of where it'll lead but I plan to push through the end of December. I've been at it essentially full-time since the beginning of September with help from Andy on nights/weekends.

Prior to this project, I had a failed solo side project. This project is different in so many ways, in part because I have people to talk to. For example, my friend Josh has been incredibly helpful on the product design side, talking on the phone with me once a week. And of course Andy, a world-class brother who I love.

We need to reach something like 2,000 Nanas to make this a full-time focus (for me) and I think we have a shot. But if even if we don't get there, the amount of happiness generated in the world from just the first 7 deliveries outweighs the sum of all other happiness generated for everything I've worked on to date. Next week 23 more orders are being delivered and it'll be awesome fuel. Even though I'm being a bit irresponsible bootstrapping this project through to the end of December, I'll have zero regrets if we don't end up getting to 2k.
In fairness, the foundation arm of the token's development appears to be operating in a reasonable and pragmatic way along their planned roadmap. It is a related company, helmed by the previous "frontpeople" for the project that has run into significant bumps and legal jeopardy.

Whether or not that means that the project will ultimately release, I have no idea (nor vested interest in).

San Francisco, CA / REMOTE OK in the US | Experienced Full Stack Rails Developer | Stitchfix | Full-time

Hello, we're continuing to do a ton of hiring at Stitchfix. I'm responsible for a small team working on cross functional projects; Last year we worked on expanding Stitchfix to support Mens clothing, and then we also built the engine that drives stitchfix's Style Profile and made it more flexible. We work closely with the Data Science team, and our goal is always to serve our customers better using the information they provided while not being creepy :-)

Stitchfix is a clothing / style personalization service. Search Instagram for #stitchfix, which will tell you a whole lot about us, how much our customers love us and you'll get an idea of our business. Come back when you're done.

There are many other super interesting open dev roles across stitchfix, including in:

* the Consumer Facing team
* the Warehouse Tools teams
* the Styling Tools teams
* (and many others)

You can reach out directly to me (gal at stitchfix.com) - I'm a Principal Engineer and a hiring manager at Stitchfix. Here is a job posting roughly covering the role I'm hiring for: https://www.stitchfix.com/careers?gh_jid=455296&gh_src=r8m5v
Stitch Fix's "Multithreaded" Tech Jobs blog & site (http://technology.stitchfix.com) has a lot more about the team and other positions (we’re also hiring iOS, DevOps, and UX)

Yeah, unfortunately, there are de facto voting blocs on HN these days. It wasn't always like this.

But now there are 10,000 YC affiliated people, 50,000 from Google/Microsoft/Amazon, etc and so it totally skews the results towards these larger organizations.

I would be happy if users were asked to provide their Bigco employer in a private field, and then I could filter out their votes by visiting /nobigco or something.

But ideally, voting on stories/comments related to your own BigCo employer would be disabled entirely.
I hate to admit that I used one of those things in college.

It's a stack machine, like HP calculators.
Hitwise | Santa Monica, CA or Camarillo, CA | Full-Time | Onsite

Hitwise (https://www.hitwise.com) is looking for an analyst for our Data Forensics team within our Data Science org. You'll play a lead role in servicing customer inquiries related to our sophisticated consumer insights product. You'll serve as a trusted set of eyes to monitor the veracity of our modeled data.

You'll use a variety of in house tools, but proficiency with SQL, Hive, R and statistical methods are all relevant.

If you love the idea of taking on significant conceptual ownership of some novel demographic and behavioral data, we should talk.

Within our DataSci team I lean strongly toward the engineering side of the spectrum, but I'd be happy to have a conversation about our work. dlarsen@connexity.com If you're more comfortable going the typical HR route, I can probably streamline the first phases of communication.
tl;dr - a major donor ($250 million) is a Franklin fan. He cut a check for nearly half the estimated cost of the college, so they named it in honor of one of his heroes.
I'm stuck waiting several years for a model 3 to get an EV with actual aesthetics (that isn't 100k+).

The aesthetics that say, "I entered 'generic electric vehicle' on iStockPhoto, and this is what I got."? I own lots of TSLA, I'd even consider buying a Tesla when the Leaf dies, but that purchase would be despite the aesthetics of any Tesla, not because of.

But to each their own. As long as what's available today isn't the aesthetic equivalent of the Pontiac Aztek, I wouldn't put off a purchase for several years just for looks. Though I also own a Leaf and an original body style Scion xB, and I'm sad that the Honda Element is no longer made. Do not look to me for fashion advice.

Sqreen - https://www.sqreen.io | Full-time Onsite engineers | Engineering team in Paris (France)

Sqreen is a security tool built with developers in mind (we are like New Relic, but for security).

We develop solutions that combine instrumentation, defensive algorithms and machine learning.

We are recruiting new engineers to join the team creating Sqreen agents for all technologies, and ship our incoming products.

Our most researched positions are within the agents team. You will join the guys that are writing the best instrumentation agents ever, and in all technologies (so far Ruby, Python, Node.js, PHP). These agents are protecting hundreds of thousands of applications, gazillions of HTTP requests per months...

- a C software engineer. The responsibility includes developing the PHP version of the Sqreen agent. PHP is written in C, we need an extension able to manipulate PHP internals to do PHP instrumentation), have you ever written something this cool for production usage?)
https://www.sqreen.io/jobs-c

- a Java software engineer. This one is all about being the core maintainer of the Sqreen Java Agent. You need to be super comfortable of the JVM internals for this one (we are relying on the Byte Buddy library for instrumentation: http://bytebuddy.net/).
https://www.sqreen.io/jobs-java

- a DevOps engineer. We have cool challenges like duplicating our infra to other zones (e.g. US, Asia), we are currently moving to DynamoDB, and we plan to do innovative usage of CDNs such as Fastly (https://www.fastly.com/blog/beacon-termination-edge/)
https://www.sqreen.io/jobs/sqreen-aws-devops.html

Sqreen is already live for Ruby, Python, Node.js, and PHP.

My major issue with this discussion from the EFF is it is totally silent on who benefits vs who does not. As a small business content creator, I do want a faster and stronger copyright system that will STOP people from stealing content, especially images. With some of the notions in the law such as providing evidence that the infringer purposely removed water marks, etc.. is EXACTLY what we need going forward.

> "Unfortunately, the Copyright Office has a history of putting copyright holders’ interests ahead of other important legal rights and policy concerns. We fear that any small claims process the Copyright Office conducts will tend to follow that pattern."

Most of it is based on claims that the copyright court is "awful" at copyright decisions, yet at the same time the article is devoid of making specific citations - and is clearly a FUD piece in my opinion.
Looking at this from a national point of view is a mistake.

In my mind, we're still dealing with the blowback resulting from the end of the victorian world order, which was gutted by the events of the First World War, of which the 1917 revolution was a part.

Russia has always been a bridge between east and west. I think as we've spent the last 50 years exporting the wealth of the west, we're approaching a similar changing of eras.

I wouldn't let the HN rabblement get to you too much, I thought it was kind of amusing and silly. There's a huge survivorship bias favoring those who are willing to be vocal about not being able to find humor in certain things. Personifying technology isn't allowed to be funny? I don't buy it. I say, loosen up.
As far as I recall, this is not the first soft heart. Previous attempts were made out of synthetic fabrics alleviating many problems with elastomers, for valves and aorta patches. If these fabrics were electrically sensitive, they could beat, problem being biocompatibility.

Jarvik-7 is not a whole heart, it is an LVAD. And yes it has a pulse due to pump peristaltic action as opposed to some continuous flow devices.
Maybe the Northern European approaches are a little kinder to the human condition?
It's written an asciidoc, which GitHub can render too. It's a matter of changing the extension or adding vim modeline.

I went to UW for undergrad and UU for grad school. UU was definitely a mish mash of whatever was modern for the time, but I would argue it was also poorly executed. In contrast, EPFL, which as a European university is immune to neo gothic architecture, did much better with whatever was modern st the time (to a pre oil embargo space ship plastic building to the most recent Swiss cheese addition).
Man, I love personalities like Cliff Stoll's!

I mean, if a person can make reverse polish notation sounds like the most interesting thing you have ever learned, they are worth listening to!
HN mods might call this a "nonsubstantive dismissal".

Nevertheless, I agree with the statement wholeheartedly.

It is an opinion. And no "substantive proof" is required to support an opinion. Only experience is required.

Everyone is free to form their own opinion. How?

Maybe something like

1. Try GNU coreutils.

2. Try an alternative such as a BSD project or Plan9.

3. Think.

4. Form opinion.

Thus one cannot dismiss alternatives to GNU coreutils without trying them first.
If an attacker has access to the device and passcode, they already can view all the data on it including the keychain. Right? So the concern here is just that Apple has made it easier for attackers with access to a device and passcode to exfiltrate in bulk instead of piece by piece via the UI.

In exchange for letting people reset their encrypted backup password without losing data.

How is that a "horror story"?
I think you just got the "joke".
Global Powers Strike Deal to Research Before Fishing Arctic Seas​
There is a whole style of programming dedicated to tail-recursion called Continuation Passing Style. It is not usually useful for programmers directly to use, because it is so complicated to read/write, but it is very useful for compilers to generate code in CPS.

If you wanted to, for example, write a new experimental functional language and reuse part of the Rust compiler to sanity check and generate the executable, then tail-recursion would be really important.

Similarly, if you create something like a parser generator and don't have tail recursion optimization, then you are going to run out of stack space before being able to parse stuff. So, there are lots of practical applications that depend on this feature too.
The main difference from the POV of a patient is that Carmat's heart lasts for years while this one lasts less than an hour.
But a company that cared about it’s reputation would probably have refrained from most of the wildly inappropriate behavior it’s regularly alleged to have engaged in, making current claims about their dedication to their reputation ring hollow.
Yeah, got to agree it's far from perfect - I use it for infrequent direct access to the server under my desk, and it does mean messing around with having extra input devices etc.
American capitalism is regulated. Not as regulated as other capitalist systems, but calling it "unregulated" is simply incorrect.

And capitalism in Japan isn't the same flavor of capitalism in the US, and wouldn't necessarily have the same societal weight in context.

That is why one should hire a great architect. To try and get as much as possible of both with a given location and budget. With a bad one you can easliy get neither. See sites on bad McMansions.
Time waste alert!

I had a recruiter for ZipRecruiter contact me. He spent almost 45 minutes selling the company and its values and then went on tell me how he was different than your "typical recruiter", how he was concerned about the "candidate experience" and after all it was his reputation.

Based on this recruiter's up-selling, I agreed to take their Hackerrank test, which was a timed test with the usual cliche algorithm problems.

At any rate, I completed the test and then was completely "ghosted" by this individual. I never heard a word back nothing. Even after sending a few follow up emails. Unprofessional, disrespectful and hypocritical.
I cannot imagine someone looking at the problems listed and coming up with a blockchain as the ideal solution. I'm with Mr. Himmelstein from the article, this proposal should be avoided.

The last line is actually explicit that the whole thing is about desperately trying to find a nail for the blockchain hammer:

> Digital Science is offering a $30 000 catalyst grant for an existing blockchain technology or a new idea that can be applied to academic publishing.
Suckers.
