Doctible | San Diego, CA | Full-Time, Onsite | https://www.doctible.com
Doctible is a San Diego based startup changing the way healthcare practices communicate with their patients by building amazing technologies. Founded in 2014, we are rapidly growing and recently awarded the #1 Top Workplace by San Diego Union Tribune. Our products are built on top of cutting edge technologies and we’re looking to add a motivated and experienced Senior Software Engineer to our team in our Sorrento Mesa office.

Detailed Job Description: https://doctible.com/sr-software-engineer
Apple was not sued, and that case is irrelevant to your point.
> As a real example, we often get articles on Hacker News that discusses the best way to hire, best way to land a job, best way to self-learn, and so on. It took me years to realize that these articles were all shaded in a heavy fog of bullshit, and it took me many years to realize that the posters who upvote and share these articles are not only aware of the heavy fog, but are able to read though the fog. If I was able to go back in time and tell my autodidact self on thing, it was to learn about bullshit, and it's something I always advise those who trying to self learn.

Tell me more, please.
Speaking as Linode user with all my eggs in their basket: I'm sad that they are falling so much behind other players like DigitalOcean. I'm looking more and more to DO these days just because of the speed they are able to deliver new features.

That being said this is a great addition! Looking forward to trying it out when it reaches my datacenter. And I'm also looking forward to see what their next big project will be.
I've been retyping the offending word and adding * since I started using chat programs 20 years ago, and in every program since...I would think allowing messages to be edited after the fact would allow more problems than solving simple grammar or spelling mistakes most people can think around anyways.
Still holds up. Some of the social signaling has changed, but the book still holds up quite well from what I recall the last time I read it.
What are the implications of this? Does it mean the speed of light is not constant after all? Does it mean relativity theory needs to be revised?

> The researchers also expect that this method can be used for other types of waves besides light, such as acoustic waves.

They should try it on gravitational waves next time.

I think that's not unlikely or at least, it may be necessary for apps to remove that component from the apps.

Anytime you submit an app to the App Store you have to check a box that asks if you're complying with all necessary encryption export laws. In theory, those laws could change in the future and they just simply won't let you publish apps using strong encryption.
Some kind of JSON over sockets (or MsgPack over pipes, BSON over ZMQ, etc.) works pretty well for these kinds of scenarios.
It is noticeable the resentment in this thread of the arbitrary BS you have to go through when you change classes to not seem awkward. But we should remind ourselves there is a whole bunch of arbitrary BS we common folk are just used to. It isn't that the higher classes have more BS, it is just that it is not ingrained to your experience, so it is frustrating that your habits for interaction do not work. I would prefer we get rid of lots of arbitrary BS at every level, but unfortunately you can't fight the system.

Thanks and I know your words come from a well meaning place...but this is how it always goes because there isn't a self made path out of this sort of situation but people need to believe there is. You HAVE to have lots of outside help and 100% of the people I have known or see like me who did get a life back had that support. People don't accept the actual limits and hear what I am saying and talk about optimism and prophecies because those things SOUND right to us but it's not real life. It's factual, logistical, and reality I am up against. I'd never turn down a practical and realistic plan ti regain a life...I've never had access to one. If I had what my friend had that would be different. Here my only chance is an individual or company CHOOSING to help me and that doesn't happen in this culture.

It's so much easier for people in general to blame victims and stay safe in the "knowledge" that they would find a way out if it were them...I used to say the same so I know it's not something people will listen to until they live it. I know how I sound but I also the depression and mental stuff is a result of the lack of Maslow's lower levels not being met and you can't cure things "backwards". I need stability and a legit path and the rest would follow...but I am expected by most to somehow fix the effect before dealing with the cause.

I find the more I talk about it the more depressed I get...which is ironic to me...but the alternative to let it pile up doesn't chance things either. I wish I could see a way out...
To me this is very strong evidence that Tether is a scam. So why is anyone willing to pay $1 for a Tether?

Yeah, at this point it's a bunch of hand-wringing and crying over what they might do maybe at some hypothetical point in the future.

So dumb.
When I was getting a dental implant to replace a badly decayed tooth (protip: get broken teeth fixed), my dentist used the same sort of thing.
A key paragraph from the article which better explains the finances behind this policy:

"The health care plan ... would offer 100 million families up ... $7,860, of coverage each year. That sum, while small by Western standards, would be enough to cover the equivalent of five heart surgeries in India."

It's much easier to provide universal healthcare, when medical costs are low. Finding ways to bring down costs in the US, would go a long way towards improving the healthcare situation here.

>If Bitcoin was still being used to send money across borders, to buy things with super low transaction cost, send money without censorship-which by the way used to be why a lot of people saw value in it in the first place--it wouldn't be so easy to manipulate the value because any fool can see that there obviously is value in there.

Bitcoin had all those things - not that long ago. You need volume to ensure stability, not utility.

Honestly I'm fine with people risking their lives, as long as they foot the bill when they need a harrowing rescue. It can cost high hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a single person out of a bind, it should not be anyone else's responsibility to pay for one person's high-risk behaviours (at least not after the fact).

If you knowingly engage in an impractical behaviour which makes the need for a rescue likely, and don't bring your own staff and equipment to reasonably expect to achieve that, then you should be liable when you consent or would inevitably consent to rescue.

I don't think this makes much sense. Currently the Intel chips aren't open at all. If they were open, then this article might have a point - demanding that Intel replace or fix their broken products would indeed cause issues.

But that's the point. The hardware is not open. If anything, tightening warranty for closed hardware and loosening it for open hardware would likely have the opposite effect - it would make Intel open their code (if we follow the logic of the article).
Do you have any details of the implant manufacturer?

I'm curious because this sounds rather like an 'anatomic' implant; the world leader in this technology is this small (but awesome) company in Austria: http://bioimplant.at

That's not true for much of the Europe I've experienced. Many people from Spain, Greece, or Italy, for example, would not be considered 'white'.

Generally I'd say that the whiter the population is, the higher the barrier to entry, so to speak, to being considered 'white'.
Very cool, i work with a lot of CROs but haven't had a need for genomics sequencing yet. In small biotech companies we rely exclusively on these firms as we don't have our own labs, or if so, dont have a genomics core. There has been an explosion in biotech startups using genomics so would imagine there's a lot of demand for this, and you can make good margins if you are a quality and differentiated service provider. I realize you probably already know this but in the spirit of informing people about bio investing figured I'd share :)

Are you in San Diego by chance (just guessing bc UCSD)? I work with a virtual biotech there and we contract out all of our r&d. We don't do genomics but some of our investors have other portfolio companies that might be interested in your services

I can chose whatever hospital I want and the government will pay for it regardless as long as a GP has referred me to them. If you want you can just pay out of your pocket as well without going through a GP.

There is even a portal where you can search for your ailment and choose hospital (private or public) based on their waiting lists.

The government also buys up a lot of the private spots to reduce public waiting lists. Last time I was in due to sinus infection, I went to a private and a public clinic both paid for in full by the government.
Lots of YC companies | Software engineers of all kinds | Everywhere, though mostly in the US | Mostly on-site, but some remote too | Full-time and intern

A few months ago, a team of us at Y Combinator started working on a "common app", so that people could apply to all Y Combinator companies at the same time. It seemed silly to us that even though so many companies are struggling to hire people, it still requires O(n) effort to apply to n companies.

So, we built workatastartup.com. It's a simple way to apply to all YC companies at the same time. It's only for hackers / engineers for now (we hope to open it more broadly later). If a company is interested, you'll get an email directly from one of the founders.

It seems to be working pretty well - many of the people who posted a profile have gotten more than a dozen company founders reaching out to them, and some people have gotten jobs through it already. We'd love if you filled out a profile and let us know what you think (workatastartup@ycombinator.com) : https://www.workatastartup.com

> And you agreed to abide by the laws of a jurisdiction by living there. Otherwise, what's to stop you from saying, "I never agreed not to kill people"?

Nobody agreed to not kill people either. Thats why killing is also legal in many circumstances. Also arguing that we all agreed to the rules there in would mean that if slavery were legal it would be ok, becase we all agreed to it. But thats another topic.

The point is that if I believe in an institution without regulation the option between me and that institution is severed by an unrelated third party. I dont want to ask the SEC any permission to buy tethers.

Follow the money.

I'm always asking myself "what does this author have to gain from writing this, or holding that position?" It can happen that there is absolutely no financial motive, many times it's pure greed but often it's on a continuum that's a mix of both profit and helping people out.

As an example it's common to find articles about technical problem and how {{top-organization}} solved it with {{state-of-the-art}} solution. The last paragraph is "oh by the way, we're hiring". While there's a profit motive in this form of content marketing, there's also genuine help being passed along.

Business recommendations tend to be a bit more skewed towards the profit side, and financial recommendations… well those are a class of their own.

A health dose of suspicion goes a long way to sort out the BS.

I wouldn't be so sure. Audio enthusiasts already have external equipment and when headphones start shipping with with built-in DACs and amps to work with phones the case for removing them in favor of USB-* or BT becomes a lot stronger. Especially when it would be cheaper to do so.

But the point is that digital wired probably isn't buying you much in latency or quality compared to wireless.
>> You could say that humanity has repeatedly and organically come to a solution broadly known as government and regulation.

> Worked great in 2008.

Wasn't 2008 at least partially the result of having banking regulations withdrawn/weakened over the prior decades?

If so, isn't it pretty bogus and misleading judge the effectiveness of financial regulation from that event? It's like saying airbags don't help in a crashes, because yours was removed and you smacked your face against the steering wheel in a crash.
