Mystery Applicant | Ruby Developer | ONSITE | Bath, England

We are looking for a Ruby developer to join us here in our office in Bath. We're open to talking to local developers of all levels—our main requirement is a willingness/drive to learn rather than particular technical skills. To that end, if you are an experienced developer interested in picking up Ruby then that is also a possibility.

The system is a Rails 5 app which large companies use to gather anonymous feedback regarding their hiring process. We are still a very small team so there is plenty of opportunity to have an outsized impact on the value delivered by the system.

For more details or to arrange to drop by our Bath office for a coffee, please contact me (Stefan) at stefan@mysteryapplicant.com

Over the long term, it is correct. I think you may be spending with investments.
Twofold - minimum!

First of all - many amateur radio operators take great interest in having been in contact with lots of countries and territories.

Some are trivial - I just checked, so far this year I’ve got some 80 German stations in my log - some are exceedingly rare (Like Bouvet. Or North Korea, as the authorities there have a less than enlightened stance on individuals communicating with the outside world.)

The din you’d hear if you tuned a radio receiver to a frequency used by the Bouvet exoedition would be similar to what you’d hear if you ventured into a stadium packed with tweens and yelled that you had tickets for a Bieber meet and greet to whoever wanted them the most - literally tens of thousands of operators calling them at once - some for the associated bragging rights, some for testing their station’s capabilities...

More specifically about the moonbounce thing - that is HARD; you blast as much power as you can get hold of into the biggest, most badass antenna you can afford, and then, if the stars align, the gods smile &c - your signal is strong enough to get reflected back to earth where someone else may hear it (if they, too, went through major inconveniences to hone their antenna badassery enough to pick up a gnat’s fart from half a million miles away.

There’s hardly any rational reason why one would do such a thing, but the sense of accomplishment once you nail it is indescribable.

O(1) Labs | Engineer | San Francisco | On-Site | Full Time

O(1) Labs (o1labs.org) is a small startup aiming to develop the first cryptocurrency protocol that can deliver on the promise of supporting real-world applications and widespread use. Our team is based in San Francisco and we are well-funded by top investors in the space.

Cryptocurrency is a domain where correctness really counts. As such, we focus on building reliable software through the use of statically-typed functional programming languages. This is reflected in our OCaml codebase and style of structuring code around DSLs, as well as in the design of the smart-contracts platform we're developing.

There is no need to have prior experience in cryptography, and we're hiring engineers to work on a bunch of exciting projects including:

* Our OCaml DSL for writing zk-SNARKs (a cryptographic primitive for certified computation).

* The design of a virtual machine and higher-level languages for smart contracts (there a lot of interesting challenges here since the VM has to be efficient inside SNARKs).

* Working on the core networking, cryptography, and reliability aspects of the protocol.

This is a chance to join a small, collaborative team and have a ton of independence while working on fascinating cross-disciplinary problems in computing. We also offer competitive compensation both in salary and equity as well as top-of-the-market benefits.

Please get in touch by sending an email with your resume and the subject "Engineer applicant" to jobs@o1labs.org (I'm the CTO and will read/respond personally.)
Why bother?

The so-called high-class are born rich. They never had to work hard for what they have. You can be pretty sure they couldn't. Most poor people do stay poor, after all.

If you made your own fortune, then you're objectively better than most of them. In fact, they do not deserve your time.

Most, if not all, financial institutions aren't exposed to cryptocurrencies directly either through futures or the underlying currencies. Institutions are defined as endowments, sovereign wealth funds, pensions and asset management firms such as Goldman Sachs. Capital inflow into the cryptocurrency space in aggregate is still less than $10B. If the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund bought Bitcoin, their minimum purchase would probably be $50MM which represents .5% capital inflow and a nice uptick in "market cap" of the industry.

Bitcoin is by no means established because these institutions aren't investing. If and when the day comes that this happens then Bitcoin will be established and increase one or two magnitudes. Many of the above institutions legally can't invest because they are restricted by their mandates. Bitcoin is a terrible use case for criminals because it's transparent. Monero would be better because it's anonymous.
> I disagree vehemently to this proposition.

I haven't made a proposition. I just pointed out that historically, when societies have made decisions about this sort of thing, they've generally decided that such individuals require protection via regulations.

In general, most of the laws we are expected to follow are not ones we personally agreed to or voted on. I'm not sure that makes them less "organic." If you're arguing that you should not be expected to follow laws that you didn't personally agree to, I think that's a bigger conversation.

Just a question, I don't use Basecamp or similar products-- does Basecamp have competitors who are great at product and execution and who are pouring more resources and time and focus (like, where the team doesn't split their time between their product and a major OSS project like ROR) into their offerings? Is there no such competitor that has a better product that poses a threat to Basecamp's retention of users?
Whichever way it is, it's still better than no healthcare.
Perhaps it is now, but it was not always the case. At the dawn of age of reason you would have certainly needed to be independently wealthy (upper class) in order to pursue purely intellectual activities.
For a time, anti-intellectualism was perhaps not as prevalent within the working class. Education was seen as a way to better ones self, people tended allotment gardens and took part in sports and cultural activities like workplace brass bands. Maybe they succeeded and their descendants are now middle class. The reality though, is largely defeat as was alluded to in this thread:

Dental tech is antiquated and the dentists want to keep it that way so they can keep doing the same things the same way without any new capital investements so they can minimize any capital risk.

In case it makes you wonder how they can keep doing that they spend more money lobbying than any other industry. They are right up there with the NRA. Suprising but true

I think the underlying assumption that the "amazing transparency" enabled by crypto currencies will necessarily lead to a fairer more humane world is dangerously naive.

Does it not occur to people how an immutable, publicly inspectable ledger that records all your transactions might be abused by criminals and/or corrupt authoritarian governments?

Maybe HN is the wrong place to quote 90s rap songs, but these guys knew a thing or two about criminality and human nature.

Why does block storage seem to take so long for companies to implement? DigitalOcean only implemented it in the past year, when they had hundreds of employees. It seems like it would be a priority feature, so I imagine a sizable team was working on it. Why did it take so long for digitalocean, and now Linode, to implement block storage? Are there some inherently architecture-dependenent complexities that render it a deceivingly difficult project to implement?

It's not more invasive for the subject but it is more invasive for a population. The limitations imposed by the laborious nature of an investigation meant it could only be applied in cases where there was already a high degree of suspicion. Tools for scraping and classifying images from social media accounts can be economically deployed against every claim. It's logical that if you file a claim someone will scrape your data and store it for future business use.
That's when it was written...

I don't "fetishize" any of this, but I'll grant you that efforts to categorize and classify things can be excessively boring :). What's fascinating to one person is boring to another!
SEEKING WORK - Remote - Software, Engineering Leadership

I'm an experienced freelancer who brings both software engineering skills and leadership experience.

My tech focus is JavaScript (all the standard buzzwords, node, React, ES6, etc) but I have extensive experience with Ruby, some experience with Python, PHP in the distant past, and will learn anything else.

I also have experience with AWS (lost track of everything I've done, last project was Lambda) and some devopsy stuff (docker, vagrant, etc).

In my last full time role as Director of Engineering I managed a 15+ team and hired half of them. I can help build early stage teams and create an engineering hiring plan. I can also act as team lead for your remote freelancers.

Thanks, these are great responses! Also, I apologize for not fixing my own formatting sooner, which makes the questions almost impossible to read. You answered my last question about stochastic traces by explaining the de/activation function relationships with Lmin.

Thanks again!
Articles like these often make me ponder the state of software engineering and especially the state of its leadership... I never have conversations that even remotely resemble (even a slightly less exaggerated version of) the opening example... Yet the author claims to have had them often enough to have noticed a pattern...

One thing that I have seen enough of to notice a pattern is articles like this... As someone who would self identify as an engineer, I find this to be a deeply troubling pattern in an engineering discipline. And merely extolling the virtues of critical thinking (to, humorously, engineers) is probably not a solution.

Potential areas to address this are probably education and hiring...

Nearly every bit of advice you read on interviews and how to get a job never happens in the real world.

You can imagine how scary it is to read all the super tough questions, going to the whiteboard, having to discuss passion projects, needing a solid github profile, knowing algorithms, data structures, strange math, and on and on.

You start interviewing and you see that none of the above happens 99% of the time. You wasted 2 years learning a bunch of stuff when you really should have been interviewing six months after writing your first line of code.
