Blackbird Studios | San Francisco | Onsite or Remote | Fulltime or Parttime contract to hire

Blackbird Studios is a full service digital product studio. We specialize in a holistic approach inspired by HCD and Lean. Services include CTO consulting, product strategy, engagement strategy, UX/UI, and development plus long term BML iterations and maintenance. We work with large and small companies/startups on projects ranging from 1-6 months with 2-6 people on each project.

We build full stack web, mobile, physical installations, etc. Our favorite stack is React/Redux, GraphQL, Elixir/Phoenix (although frequently Rails, Node, etc), and React Native. We also use a wide range of other tech as needed since we face a pretty diverse set of challenges. Recent and upcoming examples: .Net, C++/Qt, embedded Linux, Native iOS/Swift, Native Android/Kotlin.

Working at Blackbird is very different from larger product companies. We operate in very strategic relationships with our clients which gives us a unique opportunity every few months to deep dive into a new interesting understanding of our client's business and build ground up new apps where everyone is making major and early contributions.

I am a founder so ask me anything! We're looking in particular for: lead level in San Francisco, mid/sr level devs anywhere, C++, iOS, and full stack but if there are other aspects of what we do that interest you definitely still hit me up!

No, LinkedIn does not "shows degrees-in-progress and completed degrees the same way". LinkedIn lets you type what you want. And in the examples I've looked at, most people are very clear about how it turned out. If they are in a PhD program, they say so. If they left with a Master's, as Damore did, they either claim the Master's or are explicit that they didn't finish the PhD.

That is exactly what people do on paper resumes, which also let you type what you want. Why? Because falsely claiming (or even giving the impression of claiming) an academic degree is a giant no-no. People get fired for that.

You repeatedly ignore that he also falsely claimed to be a chess master. Is your theory there that it was also just an accident, forced by software? That the word processor somehow made him put "FIDE Master in Chess (>99th Percentile)" and that he as a computer expert just couldn't figure out any other way to use the tool?

I'm not the one fitting a narrative here, pal. I see your DARVO.
So basically, the difference in performance is likely almost entirely due to the battery patch and has nothing to do the Meltdown-Spectre fix.

Is there any data on the sound profile of this thing? As the rotors become smaller the disc loading increases, making them much louder and more shrill. If that's effectively mitigated here, this looks really cool; if not, I think it will be hard to negotiate take off and landing rights with most communities.

It can be way better. Some ideas:

- pedestrian/cyclists signs can be made on the pavement instead

- which lane goes where is repeated 3 times - if it's so that you know them when you join the road, 2 can be moved to the side roads instead

- one of the right of way signs can go

- no parking can be replaced with a chain / bolards

- the end of pedestrian/cyclist path is useless since it's reopened after the crossing

Poland puts the repeated signs after each and every tiny side road. Many countries don't do that. Instead they rely on more informative big signs over the intersections that can be visible from further away.
I included total monetary compensation (base+OT=other) and looked at more positions. Station agent is directly in line with what OP said, but I was looking for others that were in lower positions yet making 6 figures. Either way, we agree that the claim is not supported in the general sense. Only a few outliers exist.
No, but potential for bandwidth caps with fees for going in light of the removal of network neutrality legislation might tip the balance in the favor of the codec that looks better at a lower bitrate.

What does that have to do with patents and why people should care?
Hah, neat to see the 32016 mentioned, I still have a pre-production series sample of that chip somewhere in storage.

Super cool this, I'm almost tempted to score a Master or a Model-B on ebay or mp to replicate this but there just isn't time enough in the day to get sucked into retro computing. Extra points if they ever manage to port the basic to the native Pi including inline assembly, that would be a pretty neat environment to develop stuff for the Pi in.
Snapchat is primarily used in the US, Canada, etc.

In the US, there are 23.8M children aged 12-17. If we average it out and assume that every year when a kid turns 13 they start using Snapchat, that's only 4M users a year. Given their growth of users is higher per quarter than that, they very well could be growing from exactly this source.

Just because they aren't growing at the same rate doesn't mean they aren't growing. In fact, if we expect the model you suggested, it seems that their growth rate will continue to slow as they accumulate more users but the birth rate of wealthy countries (primary users of Snapchat) stays at the levels expected. Even though the birth rate is increasing, I don't think it will as much as the percentage of users of Snapchat increases.

The CSS is badly broken for me.
And note that outside of C, C++, .NET, and java, making a desktop means using a library built in another language with documentation in another language. (C has GTK and C++ has QT.)

I started building an app in Rust against GTK with a Rust shim, but I only got so far before I had to start reading through GTK docs which meant understanding the C-derived documentation, on top of the Rust shim.

If the goal is to learn GTK, Rust, and C, then it's not a big deal. If the goal is to build something that you need, you end up scratching it and going back to something you know already.

(In my case? Java which has the underrated JavaFX 2.0. And I'm sure I'll look elsewhere some other time - I'd really like to learn Rust better, but I think I'll do something other than a desktop app, or at least wait for better documentation or more time.)

That said, Lazarus looks really cool as well and may be the thing I always hoped for...
>Based on what? What better source do we have that contradicts it?

Based on the "psychology replication crisis" obviously.

Psychology is a big field, and often when you hear that claim it's complaining about social psychology, not clinical psychology.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redistricting_commission

California is listed as "Non-partisan;
super-majority (majority of each group) needed", you can argue that Wiki is wrong about this, but thats the source I'm using.

Wiki further clarifies its use of "non partisan":

Non-partisan means that either, a) the partisan makeup of the commission is not specified beforehand, or b) a substantial portion (i.e. more than one) of the membership of the commission is reserved for political independents or members of so-called Third Parties.

Do you? Does anyone?

We sit on high and talk about the kids and perceptions of cool. But the elephant in the room is never discussing what people are actually doing with the app.

And to me, that is where the divide comes in. There is the Snapchat that is presented, the stories tab, and Snapcode links in Pepsi commercials. Then there is the Snapchat that is, how people are actually using it out in the wild.
How so? Californians seem really happy with it, all things considered.

I'll buy a 5yr ATM put at 1038 USD!

1. There's no way rates dominate vol for BTC.

2. Bitcoin vol is way higher than that. It's obviously higher than most stocks, and stocks are in the 20% range.

My quick calculation gives me an annualised vol of about 90% over the last year, and 140% over the last month.

That gives a put value between USD 8000 and 12000, in other words approaching the "infinite vol" limit (present value of strike).

EDIT to add: BSM takes annualised vol (or, to put it differently, vol enters only in the term sigma^2*T, and that product must be dimensionless, thus the unit of vol is 1/sqrt(year), or whatever unit you use for T). To compute it, take the average of squared log returns over a period (ie, take average of LN(P(t)/P(t-1))^2), annualise by multiplying with 365 if you have daily prices (or 252 if you have business daily prices), and take the square root of that.
Shouldn’t be needed if you go by absolute numbers - OP had 9xx instead 15xx .. so, clearly something is not right

I find it much more useful to break the world down into functions. Then we can simply ask in what contexts are these functions useful.

We can model religions as perceptual sets & then find their uses. I'm designing a religion of absurdity as a cultural experiment in teaching the models I'm developing and can testify to the usefulness of being able to find absurdity in everything. It also helps to not judge things beyond "Does this sustainably contribute to life or not?" I'm still trying to nail down the definitions, but the point is it doesn't matter what we believe, but what we do with those beliefs.
People prefer human interaction, but human agents are prone to miscommunication, distraction, and fatigue.
There really seems to be some performance issues with either the network stack or the threading/background processing in iOS11 on older devices.

I've had periodic slowdowns and unresponsiveness with my iPhone 6 since upgrading to 11, but a few weeks ago I was downloading a bunch of music for a trip and my phone was virtually unusable until the downloads were done. Since then I've noticed unresponsiveness around the same time I see notifications for podcast updates or after exiting an app that was downloading tons of content (e.g. The Weather Channel app).

This article doesn't make any sense. The author is doing generic phone benchmarks. But the Spectre fix is a webkit fix only, not an OS-wide fix. If they're seeing performance regressions across the whole OS because of fixing Spectre, something's seriously wrong with their benchmark methodology.

Edit: The author upgraded from iOS 11.1.2 to iOS 11.2.2. This isn't just a test of the Spectre fix. The most likely explanation here is upgrading to iOS 11.2 caused their iPhone 6 to start throttling due to battery wear (11.2 added throttling to iPhone 7, and it's plausible that it changed the conditions for throttling on iPhone 6). It's also possible that this is instead caused by the Meltdown patch, but these numbers are still way out of line with what was expected for Meltdown on iOS, whereas they're very much in line with what we've been seeing with battery throttling.
tested with GeekBench 4 on iPhone 8 Plus if anyone interested:
- iOS 11.2.1: Single-Core 4257, Multi-Core: 10187
- iOS 11.2.2: Single-Core 4259, Multi-Core: 10287

Looks like no performance impact at all.

This is about Spectre, not Meltdown, which is about speculative execution. From the article:

I'm not sure why Meltdown was added to the HN title...
Interesting. I wasn't coming from that angle. I think cycling would be less risky if there weren't cars on the road, so I would see less of a reason to have cyclists take a test and get a license if they didn't have to mix with auto traffic.

I'm a bit weary of this project since neither the website nor the readme mention any tradeoffs. Surely, if I choose Nerv over React I miss out on something—what is that something? Why would I _not_ use Nerv?

If you like things like fluid simulation and you would like to create real simulation then I would recommend RealFlow. It's so easy to model real life looking huge fluid simulations with physical objects in this software. You can choose to create things like foam automatically. You don't need any knowledge about programming or physics, just set the source, set your scene, click simulate and watch the magic happens. It's only hobby for me but it's great fun.

I've read a few articles saying that there is so much Solar adoption in the U.S. that there is a surplus at some times (summer days I believe). It use to be that there was too much use from home AC systems so power was expensive during the day. It seems to be switching to night now as so much is generated during the day (with just 3% adoption of rooftop Solar).

Here's an example of one article on the matter, which I just skimmed a little.

http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-fi-electricity-solar/

I'm guessing that CPU's use a whole lot less electricity than things like AC systems, so they probably don't affect total electricity used by that much. I was able to surmise that a 3 ton central air conditioner uses around 3500 watts per hour while an Intel I7 (whole system) uses around 150 watts per hour.

My theory, then, is that this won't affect total power use in the U.S. all that much.

Oh, it gets better. Many of our allies have so little military spending precisely because of our military bases on their territory, and our resulting ability to respond to threats with the same speed as their own military. So in some ways, we are, for better or worse, the world's policeman. And if we downsized our military, those nations would need to step theirs up (with accompanying spending increases on their end). Which makes me wonder if the U.S. is getting paid enough for our military services to those allies.

I think it's much better to just ask a few 14-19 year olds how they use Snapchat, and what kind of messages they like to send and receive, rather than idly speculate.
My _guess_ at this point is that there's a bunch of scary corner cases with the behaviour that makes this possible so that if your bulk host or CDN does this you need to be _very_ careful even if Let's Encrypt abolishes tls-sni family proofs of control. If I'm right, fixing this is pretty urgent for anyone with untrusted users sharing an IP address.

It looks very much as if affected hosts/CDNs are letting any customer impersonate any other customer with the only caveats being that you've got to get in first and you need the victim customer to make the config change that causes this to be useful.

Suppose I am victim.example, I have a contract with Funky Jim's Hosting, and I have configured *.clowns.victim.example to go to a server at Funky Jim's but I've only every bothered setting up www.clowns.victim.example, images.clown.victim.example and js.clowns.victim.example in Funky Jim's config system. I use HTTPS, so the valuable Clown Login tokens available on www.clowns.victim.example are protected - aren't they?

Some loser, let's call her Sad Carol buys a basic account from Funky Jim, and tells Funky Jim they want to add a new site, busted.clowns.victim.example. Funky Jim OKs it, because that's "harmless" right? No need for Carol to prove to Jim that she owns it, if not why would it matter? But wait, actually busted.clowns.victim.example matches my wildcard DNS entry, it goes to the right server and serves up Carol's site - now Sad Carol can get all my bloody Clown Login cookies sent to "her" web site just by injecting "her" site into an ad inventory or whatever.
Yeah, I guess I assumed that being FDIC insured took most of that sketchiness away. I’m to blame for not doing more research before I had a problem. But I still think they at very least need to update their docs to say that there is a significant delay.

Part of the challenge is that business owners/ conservatives/ libertarians like to frame such mandated increases as "putting unfair pressure on small businesses" and "increasing costs to make things untenable"...

When the reality is that this, and every other minimum wage increase in history is woefully out of date (they've been enjoying the benefits of it for years), woefully inadequate, or both.

If your business can't cope with an expected increase (TO parity, or in the direction thereof, lets not forget), that is entirely predictable, often years in advance, the flip side of the libertarian coin is that neither the government or its people owe you a business model or subsidies thereto (direct or indirect).

And when the anger is at businesses who report increasing nine and ten digit _profits_ and claim poverty when called on discontinuing benefits, I don't think that anger is unfounded.

> Instead of a minimum wage, we should have government programs provide benefits to the working poor and single parents earning less than living wages. Without giving a dime to yuppie kids and yuppie spouses. That would make the job market far more robust and open, easier for everyone to find work, while doing far more to help the people we should be trying to help, all at a much lower overall cost.

I agree, and recognizing that this is in Canada, not the US... "Good luck with that". Propose a universal income or an increase in government benefits to the poor and disenfranchised and watch many political heads explode.
