Having done it manually, DOORS is a dream.

I haven’t used a recent incarnation of it though. It’s UI circa 2008-2010 was entirely mediocre but sufficient for the task.
> You can destroy whatever you want pre-lawsuit.

That's at best imprecise; the duty to preserve evidence is triggered when a lawsuit is threatened, filed, or reasonably anticipated.

> This is being painted as "Uber is being super slimy". Anyone who has sat through a trial having anything to do with electronic communications knows that it's a benefit to everybody if as little logging is done as possible.

That is entirely untrue. While records can be inconvenient, they can also be critical to the case of the party retaining them.
I'm not sure. That's my whole point. If you can find a product that doesn't fit the pattern you can be successful by adapting it to fit the pattern. Alternately, if a product you develop doesn't fit the pattern it will probably not be successful.

(Good questions, by the way! I don't want to accept business baloney as wisdom.)

What I thought this was going to say was that they had built a system that translated market actions into a video game context and conversely in real time, such that someone playing the game would actually be trading, without knowing it. Then they could pay people to play the game with some small fraction of the profits they were making.

How's that for an evil scheme? BWAHAHAHAHA
Also, that it's not a disorder, just like Psychiatry is not a science.

Ask HN: What FE functional testing framework are you using?
I'm looking for a functional testing framework that ideally:
- Potentially integrates well with continuos CI (i'm using Travis)
- It's lightweight
- Allows testing of 'flows' , not just a single page
- As cross browser and cross device as possible

Considering all the other megafauna that died out around then too it'd make sense to me if it was similarly related to size and resource requirements. Smaller varieties of what existed managed to survive easier.
> Within DBT it is the capacity to pay attention, nonjudgmentally, to the present moment; about living in the moment, experiencing one's emotions and senses fully, yet with perspective.

Fully… except for judgements. Because judgement would be bad?

Would a real Buddha have a contradiction in his teaching?

The only thing I really have an issue with is the misunderstanding that Gautama Buddha taught mindfulness. The meditation people teach and learn today is completely different from what he taught people. For one thing, he certainly did not teach people to remember the truth of goodness. He did not teach people to abandon or ignore right and wrong because that has a terrible effect on human society in the long run – even though you do not perceive it through your practice of meditation alone. That's why it's important to learn about teachings about enlightenment from a real enlightened being, not from someone who has not achieved it yet. Modern Buddhism exists in the state of people transmitting what they learned from others, with their own thoughts added.

> the reason that all the students go to university is to make money. Like 90%+ of undergrads go there to make money

Which is it, "all" or "90%?" I went to a private liberal arts college so maybe that automatically puts me and my classmates in the 10% but I did not think the overwhelming majority of us were there to make money. The fact that lots of students still major in subjects that can be very worthwhile and valuable but lack obvious paths to financial success (e.g. most of Humanities and a lot of Social Sciences) indicates "making money" is not why they're there.

You think universities should basically be trade schools. They're not and they shouldn't be. Trade schools should be trade schools but the U.S. has a dearth of them and many that fit the description aren't good enough.
I don't think industry needs every CS graduate to produce something novel. The work of many is just building upon the work of others.
Fascinating. Have you seen the mainstream left be actively accepting of it?

Class warfare doesn't seem inevitable if locally organized committees in a time of revolution prioritize something else in life more than class concerns. Consider Iran where, as the shah’s regime crumbled, there was a lot of organization not in favour of the Communists, but rather to try to bring bring Khomeini back from exile and usher in an Islamic regime. Similarly, some of the other revolutions in and around World War I were driven more by a desire to marginalize ethnic groups other than the workers’ own than to marginalize the bourgeoisie.

> We can do it all centralized already but we would also all need to trust whoever is hosting this data and trust every single person who has the ability to enter the data.

There are plenty of ways to minimize trust required with traditional cryptography though, this is not all or nothing, we have been doing this since PGP. You can get the overwhelming majority of the benefits with none of the drawbacks.
Hmm. Could it be perhaps that cheap prices and bare-bones service isn't what the majority of people wants, and that since that happens to just be the most profitable thing for airline companies to offer, they pretend that's what the customers are demanding?

I mean it's not as if there's no precedent for that kind of behavior. The idea the airlines are entirely subject to the whims of consumer demand seem laughable at the surface.

Maybe phrased another way: What evidence do you have that this is what customers want?
Like has been stated. This is a feature, not a bug.

If you've read a message, why aren't you responding? It's likely not a problem with Slack that you cannot tell one of your coworkers that you will look at something or do something later.
I got the following reply from hn@ycombinator.com:

> Unfortunately those are the threads where we need pagination most because they overwhelm the server otherwise. It's temporary, though—we're working on a long term fix for this. In the meantime HN runs on a single core, so we have to use every trick we can. Sorry for the inconvenience - I know it's annoying!
Companies sometimes aren't honest about their job postings asking too much, and instead blame the worker population on not having the skills they need.

The more skills you are trying to get filled for one position, the less likely a candidate will match all of those skills.

Take any job posting with 20-30 lines of skills or requirements and it's really no wonder they can't find someone that meets all or even half of that.
I see. Thought there could be a regular input method like in French. French accents actually work with US English keyboard layout on Mac but not with Russian.
It's really hard to make electromagnetic radiation perfectly parallel. If you shine a laser pointer at something far away, the dot gets bigger with distance.

If you could send a perfectly parallel beam, it would effectively be an antenna with infinite gain. As far as I know, that's not possible but getting as close as you can is a good strategy. There's also antenna aiming limitations to consider -- it's possible to have too much gain if it exceeds your ability to point in the right direction.

The opposite extreme is an isotropic radiator, which emits equally in all directions. (That isn't possible either, but it's a good theoretical baseline.) Antenna gain is usually described relative to an isotropic radiator. So, an antenna with a gain of 12dbi means that in the direction it sends its strongest beam, it's 12 decibels stronger than it would be if the antenna were an isotropic radiator.
Maybe we have different expectations of what CEOs should do. Writing culture statements is not hard. Adding "We do the right thing" is not hard. That initiative also started before he joined.

Identifying and owning up to the 8 years of toxic behavior is hard. That’s what would stop the negative news cycle. It is definitely hard, but he gets paid enough for us to have high expectations.
A "cloud API" is exactly the opposite of what the OP is looking for. Why can't we get data out of our devices without having to transmit it to their servers, or through black-box software?

I definitely expect better treatment of privacy from a young nordic company like Oura. The product looks pretty great, so I would be a hugely loyal customer if they fixed these privacy issues.

Can anyone expound on "collapse of a cartel organized against the interests of workers"?
It doesn't surprise me that the government isn't OK with the concept. After all, it makes their life tougher.

It does amuse me though that HN isn't OK with it, because it's a corporation doing it.
No, I don't see it as a unity - rather as I leave an interview, there is a superposition of possibilities.

Edit: And if I don't get called when I expected to, my experience resolves into something different, perhaps, opposed to how I felt coming out of the interview.
I think it depends entirely on whether they're willing to work on it, and how they act when they're in a bad state.

I have a partner with BPD, and she's put a lot of effort into getting better (and I've seen real progress), and at her worst she's never really acted maliciously or cruel. Still, way more extreme highs and lows than any other relationship I've been in, and I've stopped seeing them as much just because it's so exhausting.

I was never picking nits. The UNIX way is to have simple tools that do one thing well and that can be chained together easily to perform complex tasks.

Guess how Powershell works. And it does it without a bunch of error prone text parsing. And it's a much saner scripting language than Bourne shell variants. And it has the entire CLR at it's disposal (including the C interface).

And you're seriously trying to tell me that the 70s era implementation of the UNIX philosophy is better?
choosing not to store the data is different than it being unencrypted in transit. nothing stops snapchat from building an internal "product" that captures, say, messages with certain geolocation, or comments, or, hell, based on some sort of image recognition system. Nothing stops the government from subpoening them asking for this functionality (see lavabit 1.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit#Suspension_and_gag_ord... )
Real-time video transmission is perhaps the bulkiest of Internet traffic. Do you have data showing the traffic increase was "modest"?

You should reconsider investigating this idea again.

The rest of your comment argues against deflation and commodity-money which is a straw man: I'm not arguing for that. I'm arguing for sound money controlled by our government, not international banking cartels that print money to give it to the banks (you could replace the Fed with a k-percent rule algorithm, 100% transparency, and 100% reserve banking).

Unfortunately, we've been riding on greater fools for so long that whatever generation is forced to do this is going to feel some financial hardship.
Does anyone have a good feel for what real compensation/career trajectory looks like for a software developer at Two Sigma? I always hear about how great the compensation is in finance, but it doesn't look like that extends to software engineers. Glassdoor[1] says ~130k base/~180k total comp, which is good but not great for a software developer in a major metro area.

Publix does $4 prescriptions as well.
I'm offering an alternative view of "bat shit crazy".

It may be harmless (as you correctly point out), but it is not tethered to reality.
if you really need your data scientist to know these things then just invest some time in training. So many skills can be quickly picked up on the job, at least to a "good enough" level, yet people insist on looking for unicorns that appear to tick all the unrealistic checkboxes
You just gave me so many ideas for fun side projects.

Even less extreme, I worked at an all remote company that primarily used Skype (pre-Slack). I don't want to go back to that.
My recent interviewing experience, while anecdotal, would suggest that you'd actually be better off with the coding challenge sites, assuming that succeeding at interviewing is your goal.

I think this is unfortunate, irrational, and that contributing to Github projects would actually build your practical skills while adding some value to the universe.

But having spent more time working on coding challenges, algorithms and puzzles would have been more beneficial to my most recent several interviews.
There are two things wrong with this perspective.

First, if you walk out of a four year degree in computer science without a strong foundation in discrete mathematics, algorithms, data structures, and at least one of distributed systems theory, stochastic systems theory, control, statistics/machine learning, AI, data visualization, or design, you've stunted your horizons for growth as an engineer pretty badly. I use three of those every day at work. I wouldn't be able to read the research, do the math, or write the software to implement what I work on without a very strong education in fundamentals. The only CSE course I took in University that I haven't made active use of was an advanced matrix computation course. I mean, if you're just shitting out web services and REST APIs or converting COBOL to Java, fine, but that's something you can train a monkey (and in very short order, a computer) to do.

Secondly, we invest in Universities as a public good. You should come out of a four year program able to write well, critically analyze difficult material (not "Catcher in the Rye"), articulate complex ideas persuasively, and understand the world you live in and how to live in it substantially better than when you went in. You might be surprised to learn that with the benefit of hindsight, many people find the time they spent reading and learning to be incredibly useful later in life, as it provided a foundation for dealing with conflict and complexity. If that's wasted on you, then it's wasted on you, but understand that you have shot yourself in the foot in terms of your ability to mature as a human being. I personally think public University education should be substantially more rigorous and should fail people aggressively, and should also be free. I wish we separated the whole "whoo look at me I'm 18-22 let's party" thing from the thought of University. If that's where you are in life at 18, there's nothing wrong with that... go work as a code monkey or a barista and get it out of your system, and when you're ready to level up as a human being give University a try, go. That's more or less what worked for me, anyway.
> University costs a shit ton of money and people (the vast majority) pay it so they can have a decent life.

First of all, no one is forced to go to university, so if people pay that much money, it's probably because they feel it's worth it, regardless of its supposed "cloistered academicism".

Secondly, maybe the main problem is that something that is needed (or at least very convenient) to have a decent life shouldn't cost a shit ton of money at all. As is the case in countries like Germany, etc. (if your parent post is from one of those, your reply doesn't even make sense).

Finally, I would rather hire a coder with a strong CS background that one from vocational school. The former may not know the language du jour and the framework fad of the day, but can pick them up easily because they know the fundamentals. The latter will likely adapt much slower.
For anyone with an interest in Voyager, I highly recommend Emer Reynolds film, "The Farthest". This documentary is brilliant, beautiful, and funny - and I guarantee that you will learn something that you didn't know about Voyager!

For those in the UK, it's currently streaming on iPlayer - though it should ideally be seen in cinemas to be fully appreciated.

Design to specification can be handled using systems like DOORS or other requirements management software. There’s an interchange format (XML) that many of these support called ReqIF. If you look that up you’ll find an Eclipse based tool (RMF) that is free and let’s you see how linking between requirements and such can be done.

I’ve not seen tracing attempted down to the code level though we did do tracing to the test procedures.

There’s a plug-in for Event-B in Eclipse that can, in theory, play well with RMF (connect requirements and specs to elements of the formal model). I’ve not spent much time with it but it did seem to do the job.

> polished IRC client tied to a proprietary service to me

This is precisely the point. Most companies just needed something that worked. It doesn't really matter if it's proprietary, if it gets the work done.

Paying a little money to slack is much more convenient that getting you entire company to setup and use IRC.

Out side the HN bubble, people choose convenience over open and free.

The real challenge is recreating the conduits and rights of way that the telephone companies have spent the last 100 years establishing. ATT's largest, most valuable asset is not the phone switches/networking gear or the copper in the ground or even the fiber they've laid over the last 20 years. It's the rights of way they control. Google's big battle with the incumbent phone companies is for access to right's of way and telephone poles. ATT is fighting tooth and nail to deny them access. Apple/Google would be better off purchasing a large cable company so you have a large network in place immediately rather than having to build one from scratch
