> The American Revolution and War of 1812 clearly are not ones; the UK was not a democracy.

At what point precisely did the Westminster system, one of the more common models of modern democracy, become a democracy?

Note that the later you peg and the more narrowly you define “democracy” to justify it, the more you make the case that there have been so few democracies that, given the actual historicsl frequency of interstate wars and the number of nations available at any time, the number of wars expected to have a democracy on either side is expected to be near zero even if democracy in both sides of a dyad does nothing to decrease the probability of war between the countries.

(Also note if you claim it's not a democracy because it had territories unrepresented in the national government despite the form of government being democratic, that has the same effect—and even rules out the modern US as a democracy, as well.)
When I was growing up I couldn't afford a computer so I would write Basic on paper and save it for when I could get to school or somewhere else with a machine, then type it in. I definitely feel it made me a stronger developer as I had to "think like the machine" a bit more than when receiving immediate feedback while composing a program. The programs I was writing were insanely simple but I feel it was still a good exercise.

My handwriting was nowhere near this nice though :)
Portchain | Copenhagen, Denmark | Fulltime | REMOTE | Full stack Software Engineer

We're hiring a Node.js full stack developer (MarkoJS front-end, PostgreSQL) to join our team of 4 remote developers (incl. the engineering manager onsite in Copenhagen).

Experience working remotely needed. Minimum 4 years of professional software engineering experience.

90% of all goods are transported in containers. The largest container vessels can take on 20,000 containers at a time. The industry is struggling like never before, and is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, most communication is conducted through phone and even fax, paper is still used in abundance, there can be over 15 process handovers moving a container, and there are large regional differences in performance among players.

We want to change that, and bring the industry into the digital age. Portchain (www.portchain.com) is a Danish startup founded by 3 McKinsey alums in February 2017 that aims to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity for all players while providing industry leading customer experience.

FlightAware | Machine Learning Engineer | Houston, TX | Full-time, ONSITE, https://flightaware.com/

This is an opportunity to have a potentially huge impact on machine learning not just at FlightAware but on the aviation industry in general. There are a lot of fascinating and challenging problems in this area: computing taxi times, landing times, departure times, airport congestion, flight delays, and more based on complex real-time contextual information. I honestly believe these are among the most interesting problems you'll find to work on almost anywhere.

FlightAware has a vast amount of highly granular flight data going back many years to facilitate tackling these problems. For instance, we have detailed surface movement data for all aircraft on the ground at most major worldwide airports. We have detailed weather records and radar imagery. We have thousands of live ADS-B receivers around the world. And we've partnered with Aireon to deploy ADS-B receivers in space on dozens of satellites in orbit; this will allow us to achieve global tracking coverage, even over the oceans and other large bodies of water.

FlightAware wants to be on the forefront of tackling these problems using modern, sophisticated methods. We view this as a long-term strategic initiative for the company.

You'd be the first full-time machine learning engineer, so we're looking for someone fairly senior and experienced. You won't be a cog in the machine. This is not just a research position and will involve building end-to-end production systems, from training pipelines to real-time inference engines, so we're ideally looking for someone with a demonstrated track record of doing so. With that said, we're willing to consider less experienced candidates with exceptional backgrounds.

FA is a small company (currently 70-80 employees), but we're not a startup. We've been around for over a decade and don't rely on VC funding. The company is successful, profitable, and growing. And we just built out a brand new modern office space in Houston.

Actually, it is not, other than the fact that you have a limited time budget. In the old days, it was even simpler as you did not have to take multithreading or asynchronous behaviour into consideration.
(Games still often run AI and physics on hard realtime tick but it is changing.)

About the only thing necessary is to stabilise pathing so that it doesn't return vastly different path on every tick and handling inter object collisions well.
This may mean additionally handling swarm movement algorithms for which were already known way back in early 90s. Also in widely known books.

Games like Total Annihilation handled fast movement of hundreds of units at a time with decent to good pathing and a strong enough CPU - scaling the quality of pathing automatically with available CPU power to boot. Way better than AoE and it was released at about the same time - plus it has actually smooth terrain penalty unlike AoE chunky model underneath...

Three challenge was rarely algorithm but instead engineering. Time crunch was as real then as nowadays.
Looking through the topics covered, the standard AI-course caveats (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16247629) apply.

Yes, AI/ML MOOCs teach the corresponding tools well, and the creation of new tools like Keras make the field much more accessible. The obsolete gatekeeping by the AI/ML elites who say "you can't use AI/ML unless you have a PhD/5 years research experience" is one of the things I really hate about the industry.

However, contrary to the thought pieces that tend to pop up, taking and passing a crash course doesn't mean you'll be an expert in the field (and this applies for most MOOCs, honestly). They're very good for learning an overview of the technology, but nothing beats applying the tools on a real-world, noisy dataset, and solving the inevitable little problems that crop up during the process.

Reviewing the Keras documentation (https://keras.io) and examples (https://github.com/keras-team/keras/tree/master/examples) are honestly much better teachers of AI/ML than any MOOC, in my opinion.

(Of course, Keras is now a part of TensorFlow, so there's a neat Google vertical intergration with this crash course!)
Atlantic Media | Washington, DC | Junior UI/UX Designer | Fulltime | ONSITE

Hey all, my company is looking for an entry-level designer to help redesign one of the organization's B2B media sites (http://www.govexec.com/). We don't have nap rooms or catered lunches, but it's a great place to work, benefits are solid, the people are nice, and the project will have some unique and interesting challenges (some good, some bad).

The role isn't on my team directly, but I personally think this is a cool opportunity for a more junior person looking to break into web design and development. I also love that we're opening some positions to more junior people (taking to heart an article from a few weeks back about The Death of Junior Positions)

If any of you know someone with a good creative eye (if not a ton of experience), or someone who loves the idea of designing for media, feel free to pass on the link!

"Can you do that automatically, ie, without human intervention at all?"

Why not use something like SSH authentication keys to verify the endpoint? (e.g. ed25519 which can be generated very fast)

Consider the vast number of endpoints that are now currently being verified using authentication keys.

For something like encryption, I believe some human intervention will always be required. Only a human can answer the question: "Do you trust this?"

The issue is which humans are intervening: (a) the humans at each endpoint, or (b) the humans at each endpoint plus third parties.

Letting the www commercial CA vendors and commercial ad-supported www browser authors answer the question "Do you trust this?" on behalf of users is still human intervention.
Unfortunately for users, this is delegating the intervention to humans that have no "skin in the game". The third parties are not the ones with the need to encrypt. They stand nothing to lose if the encryption is defeated.

Common sense suggests this is the wrong approach. (And that's ignoring the ever-increasing number of exposed flaws and "incidents" regarding www commercial CAs, like the one being discussed in this thread.)
My mom is still happily using her original iPad mini with iOS 9. Some apps these days are not compatible with it but asurprising number are still targeting iOS 9. Lots of popular apps such as Telegram, Netflix, Overdrive books support iOS 9 and still get updates (unsure for how much longer). Others like the Target app, require later iOS versions and force her to use an older version, which tend to still be functional, though without the latest features.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't try to lessen the amount of code that's unsafe. That way you have at least a fighting chance at getting your unsafe code bugfree.
I work in academia. Our performance review process is mostly a make-work scheme for HR. There are some forms for goal setting and reviewing how your goals/progress fit with organization goals (which are vague enough to be useless). In theory, HR reviews these forms, but that's doubtful because they don't have manpower or operational understanding to do it.

It changes every couple years, but the outcome is basically a rating of below/meets/exceeds expectations. No one is ever fired, and no one is ever promoted based on these reviews (IT staff don't even have a career ladder to climb). The rating will determine if your annual raise is CPI or CPI +- 1% so it doesn't really affect salary either. The occasional market review which can bump you from lowest decile of market to lowest quartile of market dwarfs the effects of the review ratings.

So it's basically pointless and most managers don't pretend otherwise.
Some reports put the post-money valuation after the Series C at $700M. For this round, the pre-money is reported to be $865M and post-money is $1.4B.

If I had a 1% stake in DoorDash after the Series C, it was worth $7M ($700M * 1%). Assuming all the Series D round was new shares issued (we don't know the details), my stake in DoorDash would be diluted from 1% to 0.62% after the Series D (1% * $865M/$1.4B). However, the value of my stake would have grown from $7M to $8.68M (0.62% * $1.4B) because the valuation went up.

This obviously ignores things like value of preferred vs common stock. But, it is not straightforward to say everyone's stakes were diluted by 60% and it's bad. They were diluted, but the value of their holdings theoretically went up.
Sure, I can sympathize. That said, I've seen a bunch of "here's my results after upgrading to Webpack 4" tweets going around, and they all indicate much faster builds and somewhat smaller bundle sizes, with very minimal config changes needed.

IDEO | Creative Technologist to Full-stack Developer | Palo Alto, CA | Onsite, Full Time

IDEO Palo Alto is in search of a Software Designer who will leverage an understanding of software to design and deliver innovative solutions that address core user needs. We count on Software Designers to inspire teams of the possibilities enabled by software, computing, and programmatic thinking, providing unorthodox ways to push design. They first-hand enact our mission of humanizing technology: starting from first principles to ask the right questions, of people, technology, and systems.

One or more below could be your focus areas:

- Physical/Digital. You’re a Creative Technologist who works with software and hardware to create connected installations, experiences, and augmented objects. Your skills may include electrical engineering, micro-controllers, sensors, creative coding, or robotics.

- Emergent Interactions. You’re a pioneering Software-meets-Interaction Designer who works with emergent edge technology to explore new interactions at the frontier of what’s possible. You’ve dabbled, but have focus in a specialization ranging from computer vision, to chatbots, to augmented/mixed reality, to blockchain.

- Digital Product. You’re a rare user-centered Engineer/Designer/Unicorn. You bring strong front-end skills with full stack potential to craft product, aligning user needs and client objectives. You understand web or device-native development, along with the iterative agile dev process, and how to position products for scale and impact. You have a secret crush on business design.

- Digital Immersion. You’re an Illusion Technologist, crafting intangibles like “feeling,” via code. You guide people across the uncanny valley by working with software to create immersive experiences, games, or interactive narratives. You can reach deep into the inner nature of physics and computer graphics, and apply that to 2D/3D or VR, with tools like Unity.

- Computational Design. You’re a Generative Technologist. A pattern recognizer. A problem classifier. You works with algorithms or simulations to crack challenges that humans alone can’t compute. Your toolkit of tactics may include procedural design, machine learning, or neural networks.

As a Software Designer in Palo Alto, we provide the opportunity for you to: - Participate in the full design process, from talking with users to identifying potential opportunities, to delivering a great software product. - Solve problems in a broad set of domains, ranging from health, consumer technology, and mobility. - Explore and develop concepts with emerging technologies, such as new user interaction technologies, computer vision, or machine learning.

Sure it can as long as it makes success harder but not impossible. You are looking at a self selecting population which need not look like the norms of either the US or Nigeria.

Really, immigrants and the direct children of immigrants tend to do well in the US as long as they are not part of a mass migration.
Often Asian immigrants are starting off well educated; you can't just hire a coyote and cross the land border.

Also, it'd be instructive, I think, to compare Korean immigrants to the US (who generally have high educational achievement, income, etc.) with Zainichi Koreans in Japan (who show poor scores on these metrics). Surely something more is going on than just ethnicity.
Yeah, I think it's pretty annoying. For example, this is now the top comment and hijacks actual discussion on the OP's work. Feels inappropriate for a Show HN.

Let's say there's a dominant contender in this space that always blows any Show HN out of the water. So what? That should be a different post. If we're going to see ourselves as a group of hackers, then we should be able to talk about each other's standalone work. It's just become super corny when these threads are used as marketing for other projects.
did they really generate the certificate pair server-side?

pkiJS / WebCrypto² API are a keygen¹ replacement so that you can let the browser generate the certificate pair client-side. If the user isn't informed that key generation happens locally then maybe it looks as if the certificate is "downloaded". But with these methods when implemented correctly, certificates never goes to the server (and is saved locally).

I'm not a fan of the above approach even though Mozilla sells it as safe: e.g. internal direct access to the OS RNG (instead of doing it in JavaScript Math-random() which led to a lot of critic throughout history of browser based crypto) , since the browser is still a sandbox, and IMO unsuitable for private key storage (even just for a few seconds).

Would be interesting to know how trustico implemented this. It's somehow so crazy and negligent a thing to imagine. There is no explanation to why they didn't just implement it using standard software stacks for PKI (primekey has a jboss thing they could have used). Literally copy/pasting things from SO or some example code found in the manuals from WebCrypto would have been better than what they did. These guys have "trust" literally in their name.
