SEEKING WORK - Remote - Southwest Coastal Washington

I'm a freelance writer. I have done content creation for business websites for about six years. Most of that has been ghost writing through an online service, so I have an extremely limited public portfolio. I am looking to change that.

Typically in RTS it is better to keep formation. If the user spots that units are choking they will order them elsewhere.

The moving units are often easily handled via local avoidance as needed.

I think you're right that I was too general but I still disagree in this context. I agree with your premise that free market capitalism is vulnerable to monopolies. But healthcare services in the U.S. are so heavily regulated that it's difficult to see how capitalism could be the factor limiting competition in this context and not the regulatory environment. That doesn't mean that the environment needs to be removed, but I do think it could be better optimized.

We're quickly derailing from my initial point though, that however things got here I think Ubera new service has the potential to relieve a lot of people in a market which I believe is inadequately served at the moment.
I think in my case its more of my address being brand new. Hell, the zipcode fails validation on a lot of sites even since they just recently split it apart.
If someone is artificially restricted to only be allowed to buy from a single company, then it is price fixing either way.
You could just detect key presses. For most games 30 seconds without wasd or 1234 means you're in a menu.
Google Drive always fails to sync correctly on my Macbook as well, unlike Dropbox.
>I'm arguing for the same thing you are. But income inequality isn't itself a problem if their is mobility between the income groups

I'm not sure how you can't be arguing the same thing I am. The income inequality is what creates the immobility. This is demonstrated by other developed countries where there is less income inequality and greater social mobility, as others have pointed out. Can you elaborate?

One could argue that quoting a source who is a bit of a lightning rod for controversy makes the conversation more complicated than it needs to be if there is an alternative source available.
In my experience, it's not overtly enforced. At lower levels there's an expectation of growth, so not growing can be seen as triggering a "fails to meet expectations." If someone is underperforming managers start to try to help them out and guide them, but after a string of "fails to meet" evaluations the focus shifts to motivation and compatibility with the company.

Almost nothing is unceremonious around here. Even employees who are on their way out are placed on performance improvement plans to give them a change to turn themselves around. I've never seen anyone fired: the closest I've seen is people leaving of their own accord to save themselves the trouble of going through the process.
>I really hate the phrase “game changer”. It’s right up there in the TechBro lexicon alongside disrupt, growth hacking, hustle and burn the village

All those dumb Valley buzzwords were secretly the fault of bros all along?

Fantastic! I'd hate to have to do any actual introspection.

Sometimes antidepressants can increase the risk of suicide, however. This is a commonly enumerated side effect in their advice leaflets. One theory of depression is that it's evolved to take away our motivation to kill ourselves in the face of extreme adversity.
Building a realtime todos app with React Native
It's not very sexy, but I think you might find it easier and more robust just to use an NLP library.

I built something similar (albeit for a relatively limited database of recipes) for a hackathon a couple of weeks back. I didn't even use a proper NLP library, just some simple hand-rolled pattern-matching, and got pretty good results.

Good luck!
Honestly? Sounds awful. Industrialized, lowest common denominator fast food. Plus pretty much any time I've eaten at a big restaurant offering options from a bunch of different cuisines, the experience has been somewhere between mediocre and awful.

ADDED: As others have pointed out, you can put together something that's effectively managed like a high-end food court. But it seems as if the economics are tough.
I'm anti monopoly. Very much so.

I'm okay with unions as long as they don't engage in monopolistic behavior - I haven't found one of those yet though. For one, if unions didn't forbid company X from who they can hire from, and were okay with company X hiring pilots from any of the 10 pilots unions concurrently, then that would often be okay. Right to work laws are a super important step towards this.

Even with that step, union-monopolies and inter-union-collusion would still sometimes be a problem just like it is with companies, and that must be stamped out.

> He's saying anonymous currencies can cause death.

To be more precise, his point was that the ability to transfer large amounts of cash anonymously without any control or oversight is something that favours all sorts of illicit activities.

And cryptocurrencies in general and bitcoin in particular do just that.

Google Cloud | Solutions Architect | FULLTIME

I run the SA team for Google Cloud, and we're hiring hands-on, self-directed, creative technicians to help our customers be successful. We're the escalation point in the Google Cloud team: we only work on the hard ones, the places where customers are breaking new ground on what cloud can do, where everybody else isn't quite sure it can be done.

We have a coding bar you have to pass, we tolerate remote work if you're experienced at working that way, and we aren't a contracted resource or working on quota so our folks can stay focused on what really matters: making Google Cloud tech easier for customers.

Adjusting that to match what I know:

If people have never met someone who has LOST A CHILD TO MURDER, then to them it's an abstract concept. They can't imagine the pain or suffering. I've met a couple of people who've LOST THEIR CHILD.

That daughter can never be replaced. The father just about bankrupted himself traveling 1500 miles each way to be at the court for every hearing. It's been over a dozen years, largely fighting over the issue of being fit for trial. There has been a conviction-turned-mistrial related to the killer having a disagreement with his court-assigned lawyer over his plea. The killer refuses to take medication and may be of questionable sanity. He is likely to go free soon. The father still shows up to court, older and poorer every time, dedicating his life to keeping the killer locked up by keeping the prosecutor and judge aware that somebody cares.

You're lacking in compassion for people like that broken forever-grieving father when you argue for less punishment.
I would not ignore stock grants and bonuses, which are not very well quantified on sites like glassdoor.
End-user's machine. The images aren't saved and never leave your machine
Huh, makes perfect sense about changing the shell processes directory. I always wondered why some commands were built-ins. Thanks!
Hopefully this will lead to more understanding about why people think and act differently than what we would expect or desire.
Except they've started expanding their plans to include family plans, etc.

There is no indication that it will be getting killed off anytime soon. Also since they're a phone provider they can't just shut down. It'll take them years of bleeding money to finally shut down Project Fi.
But only when passed to HTML elements I hope. Because say I have my own type of the shape `{ then(): Whatever }` and try to pass that as a prop to one of my components I don't want React to invoke that function.
Attacking SSO: Common SAML Vulnerabilities and Ways to Find Them
OK, I keep hearing variations of this argument and it's always speculation. Come up with some actual instances of this happening, please.

There seems to be a belief among a certain set of the HN population that assumes managers/HR are basically looking for indentured servants instead of employees and it irritates the hell out of me. I've brought up my side businesses/consulting to prospective employers and the only thing they care about is that there isn't a conflict of interest, e.g., overlapping industries.

I don't know anyone who has ever interviewed a technical employee that would consider someone who had written financially successful apps as a negative. We're far too worried about accidentally hiring someone who can't program their way out of a paper bag.

Kentik | Software Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite/Remote | Full-Time | kentik.com

Kentik is a database company masquerading as a network BI tool: https://www.kentik.com/inside-the-kentik-data-engine-part-1. We wrote a custom database in go, which at its heart works by taking a time range, storing all events by time-slice and then at query time querying each time segment in parallel. This is hidden behind a Postgres front end using the foreign data wrapper interface PG provides. Then we tried to sell this product and quickly realized that we need a data-visualization layer.

We're hiring someone primarily to work on our network anomaly detection product -- https://www.kentik.com/ddos-detection/. This would be kinda a split role, working in a React framework on the client side, node, and then a go codebase which processes traffic data, checks if there's anything to alert on, and then if so does some set of actions.

https://www.kentik.com/careers if you are interested.
Well, I lived in seven different countries so far. I never moved to another country without a job. This is not to say that it cannot be done of course. It is just that I never did it.

Finding a job in a country other than the one where you live is not easy and it can easily take up to a year.

I found that lots of companies will not even interview you if you are not in the same country. Having a national phone number helps (you can get one with Skype at al).

Large companies and international organizations are more likely to consider candidates residing abroad and more likely to relocate you. Also, they are less likely to require knowledge of the local language.

Beware of moving somewhere without a job: visa requirements might be such that you cannot legally look for employment while there.
Isn't this basically what Munchery does (although their meals are delivered cold)?
Dell isn't usually too bad indeed. My GF just retired a Lattitude after about 10years of usage, it was still running, but became a bit heavy in comparision with modern hardware, and the screen also isn't exactly all that. My mom's 7 year old Lattitude just needed a new keyboard but ok for the rest. My XPS15z is now about 6 years I think and I'm still very happy with it. My main job is for an all-Dell shop, average age of the unix workstations is well over 5 years. Sometimes needs new RAM, sometimes a power supply replacement due to caps, but no real problems for the rest. Those are all higher end machines though, not sure how well the cheaper ones hold up with heavy usage in general.
Which version of GnuPG are you using?

Version 2.2.5.

The keyspace for PINs is tiny and trivially brute-forceable.

Good point!
So, what makes a payroll system at this scale so difficult? On the face of it, there are salary employees and there are hourly employees. How many taxing bodies does Canada have? Federal, provincial, and municipal? Is that a few dozen or a few hundred? Is Canadian tax code crazy complicated that doesn't allow for a rules based system?

I'm honestly curious as to how a "simple" payroll system can go so far off the rails.
If you have nothing to add to the discussoon then don't say anything at all. You're just lowering the signal-to-noise ratio.
Linked article for the memcached explanation: https://blog.cloudflare.com/memcrashed-major-amplification-a...

From what I understand the attack originates from publicly exposed memcached servers configured to support udp and that have no authentication requirements:

- put a large object in a key

- construct a memcached "get" request for that key

- forge the IP address of the udp request to point to that of the target/victim server

- memcached sends the large object to the target/victim

Multiply times thousands of exposed memcached servers.

That about right?
Not having ever worked on anything like this, the death knell for these projects must be the inability to ever reduce functionality into a reasonable core set. Basically the 80/20 rule but where there are practically an infinite number of edge cases that stretch the project on indefinitely?

You could serve 80% of the payroll burden with software that cost $10m. 90% coverage costs $100m. 98% costs $1,000m. And 100% costs $∞
I like this very much - talking about non-simple problems. Coding before typing forces one to think about and solve the problems first. Randomly flipping if-statements won't happen this way.

In many cases this is a faster method, as the amount of debugging can be greatly decreased.
That's confusing. I'm a G Suite customer and it comes with either huge or unlimited amount of google drive storage. I can access that storage either through a browser, or with a program from google called "drive file stream" which creates a 'fake' local file system interface to online storage. Isn't that the same as dropbox? Where would dropbox fit in for a G Suite customer?
We do use that for idle detection (so we don't count it for your total played time). But for the end-game detection we need to be more accurate because we don't want to accidentally trigger in the middle of a game (maybe you're waiting for a respawn and stepped away from your comp while dead) and we want to immediately trigger when the game ends so you can't queue for the next one.
Yeah, now all the top top-level comments are plugs. This is ridiculous.

Someone else's Show HN should not be an avenue for marketing your project, plain and simple. Maybe people will start organically talking/comparing to a competitor, but even that is different from the ol "hey everyone, here's my alternative!" which is just sheepish.

Time to leave the theater so other people can enjoy the show.
I noticed that Whole Foods is essentially starting to move in that direction, with these options:

* Eat in the store (self-serve "hot bar")
* Take home already cooked, heat and eat
* Take home meal kit, cook at home

Add in Amazon Fresh for home delivery of most of the above, and they seem to have a covered most of the options.
