Earnest in San Francisco (https://www.earnest.com/careers/#/overview) is looking for a Systems Engineer to join their team (apply: http://bit.ly/SystemsEngineer659).
Want to revolutionize finance? Earnest is looking for an experienced Systems Engineer to collaboratively build upon our cutting-edge infrastructure platform. You will have direct input into how we scale, secure, and monitor our systems and services throughout the entire organization. You will work on our Infrastructure team made up of experienced Systems Engineers with a diverse background. Earnest Engineering strongly believes in allowing team members to take ownership of what they do, and our approach to problem-solving relies heavily upon creativity, communication, and collaboration.

We strive toward Infrastructure as Code - you'll be automating and streamlining All The Things. High availability of production systems and a highly visible and measurable environment are chief among our priorities. We believe that a healthy and cooperative team dynamic gives us the ability to get stuff done better, so you'll be pair-programming, participating in architecture designs, reviewing code, etc. We're all about supporting each other and improving, so you'll also be participating in Blameless Post-Mortems to help get to the heart of issues and prevent future repetition. And because we are a team, you'll be participating in our on-call rotation.
I think one problem here which is being brought up by many, and a problem that plagues many interesting ideas: what’s the physical mechanism?

More important is the issue of just what the multiverse theory exists to accommodate. Timeline splitting would be the result of nature not actually “choosing” one part of a superposition of probabilities over another; they both exist in probability space or something like that. Human events like choices are incredibly macroscopic compared to the events leading to a multiverse. Ten years of activity should, in theory, lead to uncountable branches.

Other than the laws of physics remaining constant, nothing else does in theory, and so were talking about massive and continuous divergence, and convergence. You’d have infinite universes, some existing along similar lines, others radically different, but there would be no one tendency to converge or diverge; it would be chaos, expressed physically.
True, but appending "..and here are the resources that helped" would describe it even better.

>As I already said to you, a few posts up:

>>Also, non-penny-stocks tend to have rather fatter order books than any crypto (even Bitcoin).

because that's irrelevant to the discussion. bitcoin's value isn't derived from being a equity in a company or having a fat orderbook on exchanges (although the latter certainly helps sustain its price), not to mention I don't have a bloomberg terminal, so I couldn't easily verify that fact.

>The claimed utility of bitcoin is an open question at best. Blockchains have shown no use cases to date other than cryptocurrencies (I went and looked).

"The claimed utility of the internet is an open question at best. the internet have shown no use cases to date other than transferring information(I went and looked)."

>It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his HODLing depends upon his not understanding it.

that doesn't even make sense. the idea behind the original form was that the man was deriving some material benefit (a paycheck) from being willfully ignorant. in this case, the man is deriving... "HODLing"?
It's not just power sources vs communications. People always assume that the future will simply be like present only more so.

After two world wars, people assumed the future would be wars of tremendous destruction.

When aviation was growing fast, people assumed the future would be flying everything.

During the space race, people assumed the future would be space everything.

During the growth of nuclear power, people assumed the future would be atomic powered everything.

This fails to match reality, because the future doesn't arrive as if we are barreling down a highway at an ever increasing speed. Advances tend to be a left turn down a road you couldn't reach before. Rather than building ever faster jets, we went to space. Rather than going further into space, we built communication satellites etc...

Our current 'Internet' age will be no different. The 'next big thing' will not be Internet v2, but it will be something that could only exist with the internet as a prerequisite.

> What's wrong with copyrighting a particular concrete example of white noise?

It would be functionally impossible for a start. Copyright does not cover ideas and information themselves, only the form or manner in which they are expressed.

Given white noise is a random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies it's basically like saying "what's wrong with copyrighting a particular number?" it is nonsensical.
Suppose you have a list of N things you know, and we define an invention as being any subset of those things. There would be 2^N possible combinations, or the size of the set of all subsets, or the size of the set of all inventions.

That's my toy-definition of an invention. Not very good, but it's a start. Let's take it further and say that each item in the list of knowledge is actually a basis vector, and that an invention is simply a vector in the space spanned by the basis set.

> We can find new knowledge, insight, and/or tool without increasing the "space of inventions", much less exponentially increasing it.

In my model, I will prove this is impossible. The dimension before finding the new vector is N. Suppose we find a new knowledge vector k'. If it is truly new, then it will be orthogonal to the other knowledge vectors, and the new basis will span N+1 dimensions, meaning the "space of inventions" increased. The only way for the dimension to remain the same is if k' could be written as a linear combination of k_i, which would imply that our assumption that k' is new was false.

ENOUGH METAPHYSICS!
Personally I haven't had any issues with updates at weird times (although the very first time after setting them up they took longer than I expected), but it is annoying that there's no UI to configure it. I wonder if they do some kind of load check before triggering the update? You'd expect a persistent connection to delay something like that.

Another data driven architecture is to make extensive use of the Dataset property. Every element has a unique key associated with it. And all keys map to state objects in a data store. It then becomes easier to iterate and extract the relevant queries and stats.

As far as I understand, your state says it’s legal but the federal government says it’s illegal. However, there’s a standing directive from the Justice department that they won’t prosecute individuals complying with state laws (when those state laws legalize marijuana).

So it’s still illegal at a federal level, but the department that would ostensibly enforce that simply let it be known that they would defer to state law and not prosecute when state law legalized it.

But since it was never actually legalized at the federal level, it’s little more than a gentleman’s agreement (which could be pointed to as a valid defense if someone was prosecuted federally). But since the directive came from the executive branch, it can also revoke/revise that directive as it wants, and begin enforcing those federal laws regardless of state level legalization. Congress still has the power to pass actual laws that decriminalize it federally, but they’ve conveniently been spared from that politically charged topic by the Justice Department directive. Now they’ll be forced to address it. And with hundreds of millions of dollars in state tax revenue at stake, there will likely be more pressure to not white wash over it than their has been previously.

Seeking Advice for a Career Change (31 Y/o)
I'm not in the greatest situation in life, and I'm looking to get some advice/ideas from you all. Thanks.

Right now I'm 31. Growing up in school, I was quite intrigued by the Internet and specifically with creating websites and figuring out ways to make money. With a bit of luck, these efforts culminated in creating an e-commerce website which my business partner and I sold about 7 years ago for a healthy sum. Keep in mind I'm not a developer, we had a full-time developer. For several years after that, I tried to start a web design company with another partner, which we eventually abandoned. For the last 4 years or so, I've been trading short term in the financial markets. I got a little overconfident and made some riskier bets which didn't turn out too well. I did manage to get a B.S. in Business IT from a USNews top 75 school.

My criminal history is probably going to be the biggest impediment here if I'm going to be looking for employment. When I was 19, I was convicted of felony eluding police. It was just a split second, bone-headed decision I made for absolutely no reason. Non-violent, no injuries, no drugs involved, and I got a jail sentence of about a week. I also have 2 DUI's, the last one almost 5 yrs ago.

I was pleased to find out recently that ~10 states have adopted a law where co's can't go back further than 7 years on a BG check (including CA & WA). My felony will be hidden but my 2 DUI's are still barely within 7 years. I also discovered that ~10 states now have 'ban the box' law prohibiting employers from asking any criminal history Q's until after an interview (includes CA & WA).

I'm brainstorming now what I can do. As I said I've never been a developer. I remember being in middle school and buying lots of development books but never being able to plow through. My specialty back when we had our business was SEO/online marketing, but it's been several yrs since I've been involved with that.
> I personally like state power over federal. If your state sucks, you always have the option to move to another state. That's a pretty fantastic option.

Note that that option was not at all available for those for whom their stated sucked due to the issue that was the original focus of the “states rights” controversy in the US. It's kind of interesting that you point to the Confederacy’s difficulties in raising revenue for the Civil War as a potential drawback of state over federal power, but not the issue which motivated the Confederacy.
This voids the warranty of the machine.

You also do not get their professional support this way, which was the primary reason I was attempting to purchase the computer in the first place.
Right, and it’s an adversarial process between that higher level of government, and local interests. What you’re suggesting is akin to asking people to forgoe the use of an attorney during criminal proceedings. The idea is that competing interests can find compromise where necessary, or at least that the adversarial nature of the process is preferable to alternatives.

10.12 is Sierra. I cannot see any security update in the updates tab of the App Store app, nor in the list of updates that were installed in the last 30 days.
Someone will be able to explain this better than I can right now but the short and dirty version is that actual banks in the US operate with authority given by the federal government. This relationship grants them perks like being able to operate across states lines, etc., but also FDIC protection which insures the deposits they hold for customers. Since marijuana is illegal at the federal level, banks cannot have customers who are in essence violating federal law. Allowing dispensaries to be customers opens the bank up to a level of risk they are not willing to bear. My comment referencing being "federally insured" is in reference to FDIC, which is the easiest way to tell whether or not a bank is regulated at the federal level. Many credit unions are in fact not "banks" in the traditional sense as they are not federally regulated and do not offer FDIC insured deposits (although IIRC there is another form of deposit insurance that is not federally backed).
So again, the short version is your payment path in the marijuana industry cannot touch any corp that is federally regulated.
A former coworker has a relative who became a CFO at a Colorado dispensary. This was in the early days, and it was the wild-wild-west. Turns out employees were transporting the daily deposits in their car, and the business was storing it in some file cabinets in the office. Obviously not ideal.

So he talked to a couple of armored-car companies about setting up a pickup schedule, and they wouldn't touch the business because they didn't want to take the chance that any dispensary money would get intermingled with regular banking money when in the back of their trucks, and thus invoke the wrath of the feds.

Looking at the pile of cash they had, he just said "Why don't we just buy our own trucks?" and they set up a subsidiary that provides armored car services to the cannabis industry.
I'm at the point in my emacs journey where I'm looking for places in my day-to-day editing that can be made more efficient by writing code that writes that code.

The companies that sell routers are not the companies that design the chips and write the drivers. Even when eg. Linksys wants to make an open-source friendly router, they often have to choose between using the latest chips that don't have mature upstream drivers, or using the older chips that have solid support. They don't have the ability to create good open-source code on their own. But most of the time, they end up going with the cheaper Broadcom chipsets, or switching to them in a later product revision. (Broadcom's WiFi driver situation is about as Linux-unfriendly as NVidia's graphics drivers.)

What I really wanted when I was a kid was for my father to find out what porn I liked looking at and come to discuss it with me!

Cut your kids a break. If you are going to monitor their usage, at the very least tell them about it first.

I get the urge - when your kids are very young you have to protect them and do everything for them. At some point you have to accept they are people, however young and inexperienced, and you have to teach them to look after themselves, not invade their privacy.

Or maybe I've misunderstood you and you meant older as in, they are 6 or something. Even then, I'd argue that you should be up-front about the fact you monitor it. Hiding it is just going to feel like entrapment.

I run stock LEDE on Archer C7v2 and have had zero problems with it (I ran OpenWRT before LEDE made a stable release). I could buy a Ubiquiti gateway and AP, but C7v2 is less expensive and gives me an appreciation for embedded device programming. I have had trouble experimenting with advanced features such as band steering, mesh and multi-WAN/load balancing in OpenWRT/LEDE though, so if you plan on using those, I agree Ubiquiti is a great choice.

In general, there’s more to gain by putting something out there than not, even if you think it’s unfinished/no one will care/etc. I’ve published things in the past that I thought were utter crap. Most of them never got any response; but a few unexpectedly got some users/readers a few months or years later, seemingly out of nowhere.

It’s always nice when you get an email about a side project you totally forgot, from a teacher who used your software for some need you could never have predicted, or a student who used your work for their senior thesis because it weirdly overlapped.
