Top Hat | https://tophat.com/work-with-us/ | Toronto, ON, Canada | ONSITE Full-time

We are looking for software engineers to join our team. We are hiring a DevOps Engineer, Data Engineer, and a Full-stack Web Developer (Python, Django, Javascript, React.js/Flux, AWS, Ansible; recently we’ve been practicing Continuous Deployment on Lambda). Salary range based on experience from $80K to $120K.

We’re a pretty awesome growth-stage startup in the education space - we make the classroom more interactive, fun and engaging for both students and professors. We raised our Series C round in order to take on the textbook industry, which you can read about here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-15/top-hat-r... - Union Square Ventures joined us this round, who along with our previous investors make up some of the top VCs in the world (having funded companies like Kickstarter, Twitter, Shopify, Salesforce, Box.net, etc.).

Top Hat helps professors make every lecture count by transforming mobile devices into powerful engagement tools, inside and outside the classroom. Recently, Top Hat has been building out interactive textbooks and creating a way for professors to collaborate on authoring new content and sharing it through our marketplace.

The reporter's lack of maturity or social skills is not grounds for denying a valid bounty, and the fact that Uber responded by modifying its system in response to the reports of the final problem is strong evidence that they were both original and valid concerns.

Frosted glass can often be restored to transparency by putting a strip of clear tape over the rough side.

And I agree that your privacy-glass camera would be a fun project. The kicker is that it may even be able to reconstruct portions of the 3-d scene behind the window that would not have been visible through a clear window.

I recall seeing a project to create a camera that can see around corners by analyzing the diffuse reflections on surfaces visible to the camera. It would be almost the same principle.
To be clear about [1], he isn't being held because he forgot the password to the device, he's claiming he doesn't have to decrypt the device even with a warrant. If he claimed he forgot the password, the government would have to prove he really knows the password to keep him in jail. But because he is refusing to respond to the order, he has to stay in jail until either he complies or he can prove in court the government doesn't have the right to demand it. Whether the government can compel you to decrypt a device is still a bit of an open question, with conflicting decisions from appeals courts. It's not nearly as cut-and-dry as you would suppose. The fifth amendment says you can't be made to testify against yourself, but you can, for example, be made to provide documents via subpoena that may prove your guilt.
Sure, it isn’t binary. Infosys is a good example of a mixture.

Let's not forget that most people get insurance through their employers, which really limits the choices.

Paying up front for medical services - especially in today's "Chargemaster" world where nobody has a clue what anything really costs - requires you to be REALLY rich. A straightforward appendectomy for me required an overnight hospital stay which was billed at a $17K (the surgery, etc, was more).

Funny thing about that link. It has a chart of "The average number of days to get a non-emergency doctor’s appointment". Los Angeles is pretty flat around 23 days. Guess what time limits the state of California places on that legally? (hint, it's less: http://www.dmhc.ca.gov/HealthCareinCalifornia/YourHealthCare...)

The Narrative Clip is similar - the Clip 2 sells for about $200, which isn't too far off from the adjusted price. It's not branded as a spy camera, but looks pretty discreet.

I'm sure your team had an incredibly productive December and are ready to get migrating on the double! Oh, wait, you're probably catching up from a month full of time-off and holidays and were planning on hitting it hard on new features in Jan..

Same boat here, we'd JUST started using BuddyBuild a month or two ago.
What I learned in 2017 Writing Go
I thought this was a pretty interesting wiki article. Since the 1980s, far fewer people have died in commercial airliner crashes. Many experts believe adopting CRM has played a major role in it.

I wonder what other large organizations could benefit from this type of philosophy and training.
An OpenPGP key can be stronger and securely carried around on a smart card (e.g. YubiKey).
The stats I have seen suggest that full time moms do 60 hours of women's work per week. Working moms still do 40. To make up for the loss of 20 hours of women's work, men began doing an extra 10 minutes per day, or 1 hour and 10 minutes per week.

Those stats are not current. Given the reactions I got from working women at a Fortune 500 company over the detail that my sons took over the cooking and cleaning, I have zero reason to believe we are anywhere near achieving parity.
I agree! Like 0xfeba pointed out, really annoying things like coinhive could eat all your CPU if no permission was required. Some sort of web API that tells the browser how many threads it can allocate for rendering and code execution. If the thread count exceeds a configured maximum the browser can ask the user for permission.

I think the part that is keeping women down is the expectation that women will exercise this option you're describing.

The features you are talking about, like having a search engine, are in just about every product that could exist in this arena. Have you used GitLab and GitHub before for issue and project tracking? What about Phabricator?

You did this on 2 articles in a row that I've read. Looks like Techmeme spam.
The most important value of bitcoin is that transfers are non-repudiable. Any situation where sellers do not trust their buyers and have to eat the cost of things like credit-card chargebacks, there's a huge savings in accepting payments in a form that the buyer can't reverse.

Of course, the huge dark side to that is that there's now a way to easily send money in a way you cannot reverse. This provides a huge incentive for things like kidnappers demanding their ransom in bitcoin. It's often valuable to be physically incapable of doing things.

I'm long-run bearish on Bitcoin because of this analysis - the majority of its value is in something that makes governments and other coordination mechanisms interested in destroying it.

There is a difference between investing because you think something will grow, and investing because you want something to grow. You don't have to be a libertarian to bet on its price increasing.

They are both Schedule I.
Is it though? I thought the "Consensus" protocol was just as decentralized as anything else and is mostly different in that it allows nodes to say which other nodes they trust. That and it makes more realistic assumptions about how important it is in practice to avoid history collisions.

From what I understand, the Ripple people are only making libertarians mad because they're not opposed to making a crypto system which could actually be easily adopted by existing institutions which does not make them "centralized" by default. Being able to process more TPS doesn't necessarily make you centralized.
The problem is that people like eating lots of chicken and will not be happy about suddenly paying more, whether it is through taxes or increased cost from regulations. In the US alone we killed 9 billion chickens a year, or about 28 chickens per person. Some of that meat is exported, but at the end of the day I think this is a problem that can only be addressed by working with the demand.
I actually agree with SEC. I think about bitcoin as a commodity. It's like gold, a commodity. And like gold, its storage and transfers cost money.

Yeah sure, this chip makes sense for other laptops, just not the mbp.
I don't disagree with anything you're saying. You're working in a specific context that affords you a set of options different from the sets of options available in different contexts. My read of Stimulus is that it's geared for contexts other than yours. However, it could still be one of your options.

Which brings us to - "scaleability, reliability, Security, etc." - valid concerns! Depending on your context's risk tolerance brand new technology might not be an option at all, ever. You've already pointed out elsewhere the reasons to give Stimulus "the benefit of the doubt." So maybe it's within your context's tolerance? Maybe not.

But here's two distinctions I think are important. First, for many businesses and applications the biggest risk vector isn't scalability, or reliability, or even security - it's existence and viability. Can this be made (within X constraints) and do people want it? Will they pay for it? Will it turn a profit? If the answers are "no" no amount of technology will help. Rails (and Turbolinks and Stimulus, etc.) should certainly allow your app to be scalable (etc), but are optimized for the productivity needed to answer those questions - including on limited time with a tight budget. My freelance rep depends just as much on my abilities in that domain as it does on my more technical chops (a somewhat unintuitive realization for a developer). The second distinction is most important, and the piece I often think is missing - just because X technology is scalable, reliable, and secure doesn't mean any implementation of it is. What's cool about the "Rails/Basecamp way" is that it puts scalability, reliability, security, performance, etc. within reach for a wider range of people/teams. Stimulus seems like another step in that direction.
I have a little exposure to this space (healthcare), and I'm nowhere as optimistic as you that AI or big data will cure what ails us, especially on the small scale (each patient).

Datamining is likely to help detect and clarify negative patterns in large groups (like when stents don't actually reduce angina). But doing the same to find positive patterns to shape policy seems to be much harder due to the wild variation inherent in individual patient response to each therapy.

Existing therapy is refined via specific experiments which are not amenable to aggregation into large groups that can be 'mined' using AI or DM, thereby adding further value. It's not clear to me what AI can add to existing stat/prob methods here.

Inversely, when trying to characterize patients using their raw data, I've found individual patient data to be so horribly noisy and so often mislabeled as to be useless for more than trivial purposes of individual trend summary. This becomes especially woeful when aggregating digital health records, and is likely to remain so for decades to come (given their current glacial rate of improvement).

When it comes to the prospect of mining medical data to improve treatment, I can only say, "GIGO".
We'll treat this one as a dupe and roll the clock back on the other one to give the ongoing discussion some more time. Thanks!
And just like that, by dropping Android support, Buddybuild goes from viable solution to total non-starter. Does any serious mobile app development these days really go all-in on one platform?
>we provide caregiving to our own children and other relatives essentially for free and that society owes us nothing for this imposition on our time and energy

At least historically, what society gave in return was keeping women (for the most part) out of harms way when it came to wars.
Most Western societies are able to operate healthcare systems that don't have this problem - and this "solution" is often advocated as a panacea for the coordination issues they face due to centralization.
That's not how it works with public companies. Management can refuse an offer, but the shareholders are the ones who really get to decide and Costco is majority owned by institutional investors. If the numbers look good there is nothing management can do.
Couldn't agree with you more.
Although I agree that PHP is an odd choice, I do think there's something to be said for teaching computer science with a language that the students (probably) won't end up using professionally. In some sense, this permits a decoupling of the language ergonomics from the underlying principles, thereby emphasizing 'learning' over 'training'.[0]

The very first language I was ever formally taught was Lisp. I haven't used it even one time since then, but it forced me to understand recursion at a cellular level, which has painlessly translated to every language I've used since then.

There's a significant distinction between "I understand how [inheritance|recursion|functional programming|etc] works in <language of choice>." and "I understand how [inheritance|recursion|functional programming|etc] works, period."

By choosing a non-mainstream language, I suspect that it makes it slightly more likely to end up in the second category than the first.

[0] Note that this applies only to formal computer science training, NOT developer bootcamps, where the end goals are totally different.
A prank call is asking someone if their refrigerator is running, then telling them they better go catch it. Swatting involves having people with guns break into someone’s house and possibly kill them. Swatting isn’t a prank; it’s attempted murder.

In fact, the tight syscall loop isn't even necessarily the worst case: the primary cost of this change isn't the a direct cost in the syscall, but the CR3 switch which invalidates the TLB and incurs an ongoing cost for some time following the syscall.

The worse case would be something like a frequent syscall followed by code that touches a number of distinct cache lines, which all now require a TLB reload and page-walk (even here the cost is tricky to evaluate since there are various levels where the paging structures can be cached beyond the TLB, so the cost of a page-walk various a lot depending on locality of the paging structures used).
Why would all the ASIC mining drop off? What mechanism could cause such a thing?

More generally, a severe hashpower reduction could be problematic. An emergency hard fork to a better difficulty readjustment algorithm (like what other coins use) would solve that. Ideally that change would be made before it ended up being needed.

Corporations increase complexity as they grow - each department needs to maximize its revenue - thus complexification is justification for increased budgetary needs. Healthcare is becoming increasingly corporatized. All the talk about outcomes is just that. TALK. It has been so difficult to actually understand how to improve efficiency because there is no good measure for it. Everyone is arguing about outcomes and what actually is a meaningful measure. The net result is laughable - everyone is looking at Press-Ganey scores (basically a popularity contest as to how their 'customers' feel). Real outcomes take decades to measure and for-profit healthcare systems are run by CEOs who want to maximize their quarterly bonus(BTW the CEO of AETNA got a $500million bonus for retiring-that came from premiums) It is criminal to profit from the unintended misery of the unfortunate. The practitioners should be paid. But everyone else who is pushing paper, massaging electrons or jawboning about the share price is just dead weight on the system.

Ironically, the author found peace by hiring a consultant - back to square one - a one on one transaction between two humans without a middleman.

With a setup like I described, you could pay $2048 outright and forget about it for 10 years.

A central database of copyrighted works would be great for preserving it. A lot of copyrighted work is usually published anyway (else you use an NDA, not copyright).

Explicit registration, as long as it's indeed just registration, might have some merit, too. But I wonder how would it work for evolving copyrighted works, especially code. E.g. GPL leans heavily on copyright. How often should a GPL'd codebase be re-submitted to registration? I suppose explicit registration could be but an optional extra safety measure.
It has a very strong HyperCard vibe? Has its creator used HyperCard? If not, has she played a similar kind of game? It would be super interesting if this was a parallel reinvention.
And more ... with a nice photo of it:

Disc shaped and all metal in construction, at first glance the camera resembles a cross between a frisbee and a hip flask. Thin enough to be worn unobtrusively beneath an ordinary waistcoat, it hung from the photographer’s neck on a strap. The f10, fixed-aperture lens poked through a buttonhole of the waistcoat and, as a further aid to concealment, was designed to look like a button.

Exposures were made on a circular glass plate that was rotated after each exposure by turning a knob protruding from the front of the camera. Six photographs, 40mm in diameter, could be taken on each plate. Rotating the knob also set the rotary shutter, which was released by pulling on a length of string which dangled from the bottom the camera.
