>> became “contribution margin positive” in the last year, which means that it’s profitable on a per-order basis.

>Congrats you aren't losing money on every order!

Seems like an overstatement as fixed costs are still not covered when they are "contribution marigin positve".
Perfect ( http://perfect.org/ ) is already trying to be the Phoenix for Swift.
Battered wives also come to the defense of their husbands if a third party tries to stop the violence or attack the husband.

(I literally personally know not one but TWO guys who tried to intervene in an obvious battering but were then set upon by BOTH members of the couple... Black eye for one and a broken tooth for the other)
Job boards have always worked great for me. What countries are you looking at?
Most likely earlier share holders sold their stakes, so not much dilution. Perhaps founders took money off the table too. In these cases, there is not much dilution because new shares are not issued (but not much capitalization either).
The way I see it, most undergrads would write malware, spyware, adware, and bloatware, for a low six figure salary. Likewise I think most developers outside of SV, SEA, NY, etc., would do the same for that amount.

I have little faith in software developers and administrators to show a backbone when their salary is on the line.

As an end-user, this is obviously a big benefit to me, as I don't need to purchase devices as often, but how does this play from a business perspective?

Is Apple consciously promoting this as a differentiator, or is it a side effect of their hardware/software ecosystem? How will this affect their sales numbers long term, either positively (by promoting their platform overall) or negatively (by reducing in-ecosystem churn)?
I imagine its more of a passion project. If I had free time, I would love to delve into the internals of the game that I played so many times as a kid.

Side note: Age of Empires 2 was the first computer game that got me truly hooked on to computers. I was never interested in the shoot em ups, but a strategy game, with such gorgeous graphics (for the time) and compelling semi-historical storyline... it was enchanting!
The diesel golf is still a lot slower to 40 than the GTI. The TDI diesel has a lot of turbo lag, a narrow powerband, and poor gearing. What people who've never owned diesel cars fail to realize is, that peak torque number is hugely misleading. It sounds impressive, but it starts from like 2200RPMs and falls off a cliff past 3500. While a (modern) turbocharged petrol engine has full torque by ~1800rpms and that lasts until like 5000rpms.

I've owned a (Jetta) TDI before, I even tried to make it fast. Even with a tune and full exhaust it was slower than a stock turbo petrol.

It's always Americans that talk about how awesome diesels are. I never see posts from Europeans (who are the ones that actually have to drive them) talking up diesels. They are always complaining about how terrible they are.

Diesels are great for trucks, but not cars.
You need private key for the certificate management protocol. Maybe the had some arrangements for automatic revocation back when Symantec was running the CA.

Anyway, you are compromising security over convenience. A trade-off IT should never accept.
SEEKING WORK - London, UK - Remote preferred, happy to visit clients anywhere in the UK.

DevOps / Python guy with a decade's experience building, hosting and tuning applications.

I work with engineering teams to make their products as scalable and robust as possible. AWS, Kubernetes, load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it.

Recent projects include:

+ Productionizing & re-hosting a Python big data application for a bioscience client. I moved the project to a robust, scalable stack deployed via Terraform to spot instances managed by AWS Batch. End results included better resilience, higher resource utilisation and vastly reduced cost/processing time.

+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Updated a sprawling Django/Postgres app to fit modern containerised hosting, resulting in a stack that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Templating via Helm for multiple, namespaced stack instances & continuous integration.

+ Another AWS/k8s/Docker stack, this time with a persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Haven't got rich yet.

+ Chef-managed deployment of a large microservice stack across cloud and physical servers with varied configurations.

+ Support, enhancements and development for a number of Django projects.

Contract Simply (YC S17) | Sr. Full-Stack Developer | Austin, TX | Onsite | Full-time

Contract Simply (https://contractsimply.com) helps banks expedite their construction loan payments. Unlike a typical loan which is one check one time, a construction loan has several monthly disbursements over the course of the project. This process is currently managed with excel, PDFs, and emails. We have a web-based platform that makes this process much easier, faster, and less error-prone. It’s more exciting than it sounds, I promise.

We value mastery, transparency, and, most of all, getting things done.

We offer competitive pay and benefits, plus equity. Despite being a startup, we do value work/life balance. We’re still small (4 full-time developers, 6 full-time employees total), so there’s a lot of opportunity to set the tone and direction of the company. We’re also YC-backed (S17).

TECH WE USE

Elixir, Python, React/Redux, AWS, Kubernetes, Postgres, Redis, circleci

REQUIREMENTS

* 4+ years experience in full-stack web development

* experience with Elixir and/or React — we don’t mind teaching you one of the two

* solid understanding of git

* experience with Postgres (or another RDBMS)

* can build quickly without creating a horrible mess

NICE TO HAVE

* experience with both Elixir and React

* experience with GraphQL APIs

* experience with machine learning

* experience with Kubernetes

SEEKING FREELANCER

Worldwide, REMOTE, near-total flexibility on hours. $70-100/hr. Expert Interviewer at Karat (https://karat.io)

Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training/time investment doesn't make as much sense from your end or ours. When each interview is done, you're done.

I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off. We've done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we're well-funded and growing quickly as a result.

Because of this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.

Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather's like.

The application form is here: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...

I know it's a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I'm happy to talk through any of it.

P.S. We're also hiring for full-time roles for our internal team -- particularly looking for senior engineers, dev managers, and a product manager right now; for those we generally prefer local (Seattle) candidates, though we do cover relocation. More details on those here: https://karat.io/careers, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Except for binarity of planets, I don't thing sky renderings would be particularly cool.

If we have habitable zone of 50 millions kilometers wide - just a rough number - then planet ring to planet ring distance would be 6 million kilometers, 20 times Earth-Moon distance. With 52 planets along the single orbit and orbital radius 150 millions kilometers (~billion kilometers circumference) the distance between planets on the same ring would be 20 millions kilometers. So I don't think planets would appear too big on the sky.

What I'm not sure about is how we'd deal with sea tides caused by binary planets. Even Moon causes significant tides; an Earth-sized planet would have to be much farther away than the Moon so it woudn't cause ever bigger tides...
I absolutely appreciate your post for exposing the threadbare premise of the video.

I found the "Zen of Wagtail" document really useful in understanding the philosophy behind the project: http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.0/getting_started/the_zen_of_wa...

In particular I really like the way it separates the roles of editor, site administrator and site developer. If you want custom fields, you write them in Python (and check them into version control) - it doesn't even try to give non-programmers tools for constructing custom data types.
I think we should use ssh instead of SSL and also ssh instead of username/password pairs.

If somebody is doing a distributed chat/social system, I would use ssh if I were them.

By ssh I don't mean execution commands but rather encryption/authentication framework.

Sure. I’m just saying that null pointer deref and read is not generally a fatal operation. Most programmers expect the program to die in this case. When it doesn’t, they are surprised.
I moved from Australia -> London.

I just took a leap of faith. I had a (small) amount of savings, that could keep me a float for 3-4 months.

I interviewed a couple of companies (both start ups and big corps) over the phone while still in Australia, and ended up getting an offer at the first company I interviewed at in person. I liked them so I cancelled the rest.

Best decision I've made, I love London and don't plan on leaving. But I was in a very privileged position to be able to take that huge a risk, and already had an easy Visa + friends to fall back on if I couldn't find a job.
I'm not sure why they would ban Winnie the Pooh. If I were Xi, I think it would be a fantastic image-softening strategy. Look at him, he's like Winnie the Pooh, so cute and cuddly and trustworthy! I would have totally taken the Winnie the Pooh thing and made it my own subliminally, and I think it would have worked well, because it's not contrived; it came from the people first.

The blog author is also not a security expert.

And I understand that your real criticism was with PKI. That makes it even worse that you called it SSL. Again, I feel like you're showing your lack of expertise in this area. I'm not an expert at all in this area and yet even I can recognize that you're playing armchair security expert.
1. It's hard to speak up when it could literally mean life or death.
2. Why don't the people of the USA speak up and urge their government to stop the aggression against North Korea? The US's aggression/imperial attitudes are a major reason why China would be uneasy with this missile defense system.
Because you need money to cover fixed costs.

"Per order profitable" is a made up term by DoorDash to lure unknowing investors. They are still not profitable.
To clarify, other certificate types do not judge content either. The difference is that they verify your organisational details (to a varying degree, depending on the validation level) and include them in the certificate. The CA is not going to check whether the business is fraudulent or anything like that.
This points to a fundamental problem in the understanding of planetary systems. Planets do not come to being out of nothing; enourmous amounts of matter have to come together to make up a planet. Great example of experts ignoring "details" outside their expertise.

This seems to be the trend throughout history. At the beginning people get to the top through merit and then they start believing that everything that happens is because of their greatness and they think they deserve an ever growing share of the economy. We are observing the creation of a new kind of aristocracy. Usually this gets only reverted through a big upheaval like a war, revolution or another big event. Then the the cycle starts new with different players.

Well, let me rephrase more accurately then: 'then religions would gradually be forgotten as more and more endoctrined people die without passing their religious doctrine to their children'.
It will fail when quality of life degrades quickly enough for the have nots (most of us). As in we can't afford a roof of the non-roach motel kind even with well above median wages (already true). Can't afford to get sick (been true).

At what point do these sorts of situations go from "well, thats just the way things are now" to "burn this mother down" is playing the lotto, but I'd say the odds are moving towards "burn it down" on the daily.

Why do you assume this is informing police? Imagine police see your license plate and the Palantir app shows up and says "crime risk score: 83" and then the police manufacture a reason to pull you over. Are the police more informed, or are they just working for Palantir now?

Limiting police power is a tough political goal. Right now police can literally shoot you dozens of times with their personal assault rifle that has "fuck you" engraved on it while you are lying on the ground with your hands on your head begging for your life, then get caught planting a gun on your body and face zero repercussions. And in discussions about this a huge number of people support the cops - "you never know, he could have been armed, we can't ever suggest a cop behaved badly because that would make other cops less willing to kill at a moment's notice" are real arguments people put forward. If you want to stop them from being able to pull people over for no reason so easily that sounds great but that is a HUGE undertaking.
No. CCCP blocks Tor anyway.

When you have physical control over the networks you have unlimited power to determine what flows over those networks. Nothing any of us can do about it.
We've fixed this now, thanks for letting us know!

The issue wasn't "CEO gets what CEO wants," but that the private keys were even retrievable by someone else than their holder.
Worse yet, the tool seems to run JS on the client side and the page includes JS code from 5 different sources, including ad companies.

Any of them can capture the generated key.
> If you didn't care about making people happy with their experience, why did you offer a service?

Maybe it's to make "some" people happy with what something he did for fun? Not all of them and not for everything?

Do you offer any service for free? Why don't you bring me a coffee right now? Exactly, you don't offer only a service to make people happy... You would do it because it was accessible, possible for you and yeah, to make some people happy.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't the preferred price stay flat, even with dilution? The company issues new shares and sells them at e.g. the current preferred price. Now there are more outstanding shares, and a higher post-money valuation, but a close to flat pre-money valuation. In this case the preferred price in real percentage of the company terms is higher since there are now more shares outstanding, but the price per share is flat.

I imagine the 409a (common stock price went down), but I don't think you can infer from this that the preferred price went down. The missing figure is how many shares were issued.
I got to the bit about 2 earths circling each other and instantly thought of the Fire/water planets that exist on the opposite side of the sun to earth which is why we didn't know they exist, from the TV show Lexx (season 4, worst season ever)
Your point here is correct. A very common tactic is for police to make a wrong claim - which is legal - such as "If you don't cooperate with me, I'm going to arrest you and charge you with X". The police are absolutely allowed to lie to you, including about the law. Likewise, they will use your reluctance to cause a fracas against you to extract easy answers.

They may even, as you say above, move to detain you and bring you in. Again, actually having a lawyer here is what's important, and again, usually not something most people can afford.
