I occasionally boot up a PowerBook G4 running Leopard - I think the last version to support PPC. It's had a battery replacement and an SSD installed but is still quite slow (and hot after a while). But the screen and keyboard are nice and I think it'll last another 10+ years if I'm careful.

Still, somewhere it pops up in web analytics as an outlier :)

> invading and annexing Crimea

This is one of few times I've seen "invade" used to describe Russia's actions in Crimea. I find it strange that even western media talks about "annexation" when they usually employ exaggerated terminology for all kinds of trivial events.

edit: I'm not saying the invasion was trivial, I'm saying the media response was/is understated compared to non-events they exaggerate

Which is amusing given they don't have to pay the actual labor to deliver goods or make food. Are they set up in the valley paying mega wages perhaps?
I'm admittedly naive about some of this, but is there a good way for me as an American citizen to enable Chinese users to access an uncensored internet?

I don't really want to run a TOR exit node at my house because I'm afraid I'll get in trouble over illegal (in the US) activity.
I love that Chinese university students are posting George Washington's farewell address (which at the time was the first (?) peaceful turn-over of power ever?)

I also love the freedoms I have in the States even more now.

- Possible NLP work involving topic classification

- Occasionally perform devops-related tasks such as upgrades on existing infrastructure (ie Elasticsearch servers)

Tech Stack

Contact henley@buzzsumo.com with your resume if interested, and mention HN.
Just my personal experience but Grubhub has kind of declined a bit while DoorDash has become more useful. The most popular restaurant in my town has appeared to partner with DoorDash -- I can no longer order from them through doordash but if I do it through their restaurant website I get a delivery with a receipt from DoorDash. I can't order it anywhere else. So maybe you're right about the private delivery service.

It matters how you get there! Hiring senior positions across the board: iOS, Android, backend Python, Go, frontend React, data science.

Hit me up if you have any questions! Resumes to aderewecki@lyft.com.
Well first of all, any time a private corporation does secret private proprietary unreviewable analysis on members of the public which is then used by law enforcement -- this is a terrifying, horrible dystopian miscarriage of justice on its own. People (i.e. the politicians who signed off on this) should go to jail for doing this. Police should be accountable to the public, allowing them to dodge this by using private entities who are not accountable to do their dirty work is quite simply criminal corruption.

Add on top of that it's being done by a company named after a mass surveillance device used for evil in a fantasy story.

And on top of that it's being done by a Thiel company. Thiel, who is nearly a perfect personification of evil: he has made very explicit candid public statements on how he opposes the idea of democracy itself, he does not think women should have the right to vote.

And on top of that it was being done without the knowledge or consent of nearly anyone in the city.

And finally, the justice system presumes innocence. The Palantir system does the opposite -- it makes wild, arbitrary untrackable inferences that suggest guilt for people without any real evidence. It is quite literally nothing more than a very thin shield police can use to justify harassing and intimidating the "kind of people who tend to be criminals", which in this case is not that at all -- it is "the kind of people who tend to get caught and prosecuted for crimes" i.e. only violent or drug crimes (except drugs white people use), only poor criminals, only minority criminals.

Where's the massive computer analysis system that looks for wage theft committed by employers? This is after all how the vast majority of wealth is stolen in the US, citizens could recover billions of their own money if it were stopped. Where's the computer system working with law enforcement to automatically detect any insider trading? Why don't we monitor the behavior of people in finance to detect cocaine use and then send in the SWAT teams? What about a computer system that detects bad prosecutors?
Even!more than that, at some point you start including "You are paying me $xxx/day to do nothing productive because I'm unable to get 15 minutes of time or even acknowledgement of requests from persons X, Y and Z."

My other thought was to file blocking bug/defect issues on the relevant software because obviously if it can't build in the first place it's certainly not passing QA.

Some of this may get to the level of passive-aggressive or aggressive-aggressive bridge burning.
Gaming Realms | Multiple tech positions | London | Onsite

Gaming Realms creates, develops and markets interactive online gaming applications, including slingo, slots and casino real-money products. We're looking for 4 roles across infrastructure, development and QA.

We are looking for:

- Infrastructure Manager: Lead a team of 4 who oversee all our infrastructure: AWS, Google Cloud, colo, private cloud deployments across US, Europe and Asia. There is also a growing desktop support element to support PCI compliance.

It's a hands on role so you'll need to be comfortable in the terminal, scripting etc. We are heavy users of puppet so you'll need a DevOps mindset, and know how AWS and Linux work. The job involves guiding the direction of the tech, managing a team, managing costs. You'll have the freedom to innovate the tech and team structure as long as the job gets done.

Full job spec http://bit.ly/2EZis9f

- Junior Java Developer: join a team of 6 developers working on our backend platform. You'll be joining a sub team specialising in remote gaming integrations so interest in integration projects would be great (idempotent requests, how to deal with timeouts..). It's a junior role so we're not too fussed about specific technologies but it does involve working with third parties a lot so good troubleshooting and communication skills are key.

- QA Engineer: http://bit.ly/1iLGLYU

- Infrastructure Engineer: http://bit.ly/2kpoPoc
Even if it’s just iOS devices that’s not too surprising. Lots of people sell their old devices (which get new homes) or pass them down.

We also know the iPad tends to have a much longer lifecycle than the phone. If it wasn’t for the lack of updates and new software many people would still be using the iPad 2 from 2012 (?).

That's ambitious! But I could definitely see being able to produce a few preset configurations. That would be easy enough (relatively speaking) to put together in Unity—maybe even with a bit of interactivity (eg. day/night cycle). Even without VR the game is a lot of fun:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/230290/Universe_Sandbox/

On steam there is Universe Sandbox^2 that has a VR version included. I don't think you can simulate the surface of planets, though. (I have it, but I haven't tried the VR version yet due to some persistent glitches with Oculus on many Steam apps).
I imagine it’s for the workers who make up a big part of the decision-making process for military acquisitions.

If you ride the DC Metro through the Pentagon stop, you’ll see a lot of ads for high-end weapons systems where other subway systems might have ads for lawyers and universities and such. It’s amusing and peculiar.

Housing went up 6.8% since last january alone. I didn't see any news about wages matching so yeah, I think there's a hidden layer of inflation on certain goods/services (housing, healthcare) that just aren't being weighted heavy enough for.
Thanks for posting the first few links from using Google.

Here are some other links from Google that explains why your vociferous insistence is wrong.

In addition to the short explanation in the last link, some of the comments on that page may help shed light, such as:

I'm a college student, and for the past few years I've been an SAT
tutor to pay the bills. 95% of my students do not know how to
calculate percentage change. I spend hours teaching kids this.

They usually start to get it after working with the formula several
times, and then I show them this:

for any number "n"

100% increase = n*2 = double

200% increase = n*3 = triple

300% increase = n*4 = quadruple

...

x*100% increase = n*(x+1)

When math is being discussed, even simple math, I'm going to go with the mathematical explanation not the arguments of populism. That's especially true for this case, where people are corrected in school and out of school constantly for the mistake you are promulgating.

> My main disconnect with the hiring process these days is the near-ubiquitous use of code challenges that just keep getting more and more time-consuming.

They are still pretty rare as far as I have seen, at least any that are especially long.

> Code challenges are sucking all the liquidity out of the job market...

How exactly do they do that?

> One challenge asked me to do everything in Vanilla Javascript.

As if wanting a candidate with a reasonable level of knowledge on that is outlandish?

> Code challenges feel incredibly lazy to me.

I'd love to know a better way to weed out the people who can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. And every time I ask, the best response is something absurdly vague like, "I'd just talk to them and know, because I'd know what to ask them."

> Your organization sucks at hiring, so let's throw all the obstacles we can at applicants and see who makes it through.

As if testing for basic programming proficiency is 'all the obstacles'?
If by "something you are comfortable with" you mean "reject web of trust". Trust is not transitive, which is the problem with web of trust. I trust a set of people. I do not necessarily trust the people those people trust.

On steem, your influence (the power of your downvote) is weighted by the amount of stake (the currency) you have, precisely for that reason.

Still tyranny of the majority (or of the influential stakeholders, actually), but it's a different issue.
I agree. The CA model is broken (why should I trust a Russian to certify cia.gov?). The Web of Trust model is less broken in some ways, more in others.

I think a real solution would be something like a multi-root, score-based system (e.g. if the U.S. government, Underwriters Laboratories & ICANN all state that I'm talking to www.google.com/172.217.13.238, then I honestly probably am) — but I'm worried that it'd be way too complex for normal people.

Related, my wife is a visual artist and she finds it quite maddening that a typical conversation with a stranger goes:

Q: So what do you do?

A: I'm a sculptor.

Q: Oh, how do you sell enough to make a living at that?

There are several alternative formulations focused on money, like, "who do you sell your work to", or "who bought your last piece".

Always about the money. Very rarely, "what material", or "where can I see your work", or "where's your studio".
Commure, Inc. | San Francisco, CA | Multiple positions | Fulltime | ONSITE

We are a stealth startup working to fix the software doctors use. If you have seen what physicians have to put up with, it's a bad version of the 90s, and makes medical care worse and more expensive for everyone. We are a group of previously successful engineers and entrepreneurs (MIT, Dartmouth, Datapower, Stripe, Salesforce, etc) and senior doctors (Johns Hopkins, UCSF, etc) who are determined to finally fix this.

Compensation: market salary & equity -- we are well funded.

Stack: includes Rust, React and Node. We will also be solving some very interesting problems in the areas of APIs, domain-specific machine-learning and fine-grained application security.

Please email jobs@commure.com and mention "[hnjobs]" in the subject line.
Linen Club | Business Development & Sales | Onsite in Chicago | $15/hour + Bonuses

We are an early-stage, pre-seed startup looking for our first salesperson. This is a one-month role with the potential to extend depending on sales growth and additional fundraising.

Our company provides hotel linen and housekeeping services to premium apartment buildings in Chicago. We own all the bed linens and towels and change them out from subscribers’ apartments every week, just like housekeepers at a hotel. We sell the service as a free amenity to buildings, and then we sign up individual tenants for a weekly recurring subscription. They can also sign up for housecleaning. We're looking to land our first few buildings, and that’s where you come in.

The job is a combination of inside and outside sales (prospecting, calling, and going on meetings with property and asset managers) with an hourly base rate and a bonus for every building you sign up.

We’ll provide prospecting support, promotional materials, and everything you need to be successful. You'll be selling alongside the co-founders and we'll pay for your desk at the River North Level Office location. The job starts immediately.

Email us with questions or your resume! Looking forward to hearing from you: hello@joinlinenclub.com

I agree, it's been politicking on my managers part
1) yes, the race is still on. I don't want to go deep into the politics and talk about who triggered what, but the breakpoint was the USA withdrawal from Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty(1972-2001)[1] and development of Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System(2002)[2] and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense(2008)[3] and some other projects in that field. It can look like not a big deal, but it is actually a crucial step to escalation, because if you don't feel safe enough (without anti-missile system good enough to protect you) you will never strike first. But if you have such a system what stops you from using nuclear weapons? At least that was the main idea behind the first ABM Treaty (1972). Back in the days USSR had huge progress in that field, and now USA can easily create superior systems in a couple of years. While China and Russia don't have the same resources, the only thing they can do is to improve nuclear weapons(because it is cheaper). And after all SALT I (1969–1972), the ABM Treaty (1972), SALT II (1972–1979) are all part of the same deal. So yes, we can say that the world is changing and old system of mutual nuclear disarmament is not working anymore. And it can't actually work in the world where new nuclear power emerge every 10 years or so...

2) don't think so. Some leader bragging about some 'invincible' weapon before the elections is not a big deal.

I swore not to use doordash anymore after a few bad experiences even if after placing a complain for each occurence I got $10 off the next order (resetting the fee and the tip.) Beside some of their fees are high. Mind you, I would still use them if the service was great. From incomplete orders to bad CS to cold food on arrival to even missing the basics of delivering location, I can't believe this is getting popular.
Real-world SSL is broken above a risk threshold. There are far too many trusted CAs that have repeatedly demonstrated incompetence and all of them are beholden to governments. (There are far too many, period, or in the alternative far too few.) If you have high assurance requirements, SSL with commercial CAs can't be trusted.

We have natural experiments showing that WoT, at least as implemented, doesn't scale. I hate that humans don't seem to be able to make it work, but that's reality for you.
