I poked around to read more about this and the gov't did commission a report to look at what went wrong:

Except that "building your delivery staff in-house" more or less consists of hiring some teenagers to work for tips. It's not exactly architecting a datacenter. Furthermore, delivery is going to inherently be a local business even if you're a nationwide company.

I actually do think that there's something to be said for having a standardized service that a restaurant already offering take out can just sign up for. Maybe delivery is something they just never got around to offering. It just seems like a service that's hard to do well at a price people are willing to pay.
I think you're right. Did you happen to open-source your code from the hackathon? I'd love to take a look at your approach if you don't mind.
Spotify is currently the leader, but I doubt it will dominate anymore in the likes of Apple Music and Google Play. It needs to come up with a new strategy, maybe an alternative to Netflix.
Was not surprised to see Oracle and PeopleSoft involved.

I hope they get the crap sued out of them. That stuff is toxic, and I pity any organization that Oracle got its claws into using that junk.
Yes, with ether itself.

Contributors will have the option of either being paid directly in ether, or being paid in "community tokens" which can be immediately or later exchanged for ether according to a bancor-style exchange protocol.

And thanks! Glad you like it.
Oracle Peoplesoft is used successfully at a number of organisations so blanket statements aren't helpful.

But I would question whether it is better/cheaper in these cases to just write bespoke software from scratch rather than trying to modify a vendor's existing product.
Neuralink | Software engineering | San Francisco, CA | Full-time, Onsite

Neuralink is a new neural engineering company founded by Elon Musk. Our goal is to develop brain-machine interfaces so useful and so safe that ordinary people will choose to get them like they get a smartphone. Neuralink's aim is to bring humans and machines closer so software forms a true extension of ourselves, rather than something separate we interact with slowly and awkwardly.

We are hiring for a fairly diverse set of technical backgrounds. There is a ton of software to write ranging from firmware to surgical robotics control to embedded neural data processing to a data management systems. Experience with C++ for hardware control is especially desirable. Culturally, we place a premium on diligence, care and thoroughness rather than trying out every latest cool framework.

Neliti| Full-stack developer | Sydney, Jakarta | REMOTE

Neliti is a funded startup based in Sydney & Jakarta building software to change the way academic research is published and accessed. Our goal is to remove all paywalls from scientific work. We launched last year and have grown to over 2 million users per month and we're now hiring our first employee!

We're looking for smart people who love writing code and share our passion for open knowledge. Some cool things we're doing: designing an ultra-user-friendly publishing web app, mining data from academic papers with ML, implementing new ranking algorithms for authors and journals. Our main product runs on Django but we're pretty language/framework agnostic. We are currently focused on the Indonesian market but have plans to expand.

Compensation would be a combination of salary and equity, with a significant equity component. You'll be joining us at ground zero with plenty of freedom and opportunity for personal growth.

Contact email in my profile. More info: https://www.neliti.com/careers
There's actually a few at that size, Ceridian is one, ADP is another...

Most have their pros and cons but ultimately can handle complex union type payrolls.

Payroll, also is ripe for disruption.
I used notebooks extensively - the harder the problem, the more ink I used. But the huge advantage of paper is the ability to draw diagrams - much easier to review later, and to revise. I am surprised not to see any in these pages.
You can. Last I read, men who don't have children end up making less than men who do, and for young men in cities it has become less than women in the same demographic.
They laugh about. See they at least know they live in an oppressive regime with heavy political censorship, while people in the West, such as Americans, live under similar conditions, but are deluded into thinking they're free.
Incidentally, the error was here:

"The project was meant to save costs by firing 1,200 employees handling payroll at various departments around the country and replacing them with about 500 people in a centralized location using Phoenix to handle most of the government’s payroll needs."

It's not software problems, or not primarily software problems anyway. They fired EVERYONE who knew anything about payroll in the entire Canadian government, all at once, and hired 500 brand new people in one call center to work with the brand new software as it rolled out. The new software doesn't include code for a lot of "special cases" which together represent a lot of cases. The new people have no idea how to solve most pay problems (people problems OR software problems). They get four days of training.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/phoenix-falling-pay-cen...

"Phoenix was supposed to cut our work in half. It actually doubled our work. So, you can't get rid of 2,000 people ... and double the work and expect the work to get done," one said."

Overall, even if the software worked perfectly the execution would have been a disaster.
If what I've read is accurate, the various departments were already served by smaller systems that fit their specific needs.

The intention with Phoenix was to save money by consolidating them all into one. Oops.

At least part of the problem is that projects like this don't end up being awarded to those who are most capable of completing them successfully. Instead, they end up being awarded to companies and consultancies who are experts at shepherding proposals through the RFP process.

50 Teenagers Suggest Creative Ways to Link Classic Texts to the World Today
Right after a news article that they've mostly dropped AWS. Must sting a little for Amazon.
I bet the Q950's problem is the capacitors. Those aren't too hard to replace.
That's not what's happening though. First off, social mobility is declining, so let's get that out of the way:

http://www.businessinsider.com/social-mobility-is-on-the-dec...

Second, I think it's still a problem if the income of 90-98% of the country stagnates for decades, while the top earners get higher and higher income. Of course that affects inequality.

I'm also not sure it matters that much if the players at the top switch around if they have increasingly larger leverage on society.

For instance, we're seeing CEOs get rewarded larger and larger amounts of money every year, even if the companies lose money, like in this absurd case:

https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/22/snap-ceo-evan-spiegel-got-...

Where's that money coming from? The employees' potential salary increases? The retail investors' money? It seems to me that the rich keep siphoning off money from everyone else, and that's not sustainable.

They also get larger and larger amounts of money even when they get kicked out of the company for failing. This doesn't make sense to me at all. And I think the excuse that they need such amounts of money or otherwise they wouldn't take the job or something is utter BS. I'd more likely believe the board is giving them the money so the CEO doesn't sue the company, or better yet because the CEO was the one writing their checks before that, or something along those lines.

And this is just the corporate world. The US Congress seems to get crazier every year and listening more and more to corporations and their interests, and less and less to the people and solving real problems in the country (healthcare, infrastructure, etc).

It's like the whole American society is on the brink of collapse, and everyone just doesn't know it yet. Eventually, people will "suddenly" start to violently riot because of all this stuff added together, and it won't be pretty.
As a historical curiosity, in the very first versions of Unix chdir was a normal command rather than a shell builtin.

You see, at that point Unix had no fork system call. There were multiple processes, but they were created statically at startup rather than on-demand. Running a command in the shell would cause the command to replace the shell in the address space of the process, and the process quitting would put the shell back in there.

This worked perfectly with cd being a normal command. Then they implemented fork() and were for a while very confused trying to debug how in the world fork() could have broken the chdir() system call :)
No, because they're overworked as is.
oh, right, it should be open source! :)
I'm not sure Uber ever had any trust to begin with. As far as I remember, they started off doing shady and illegal things while being rude, demeaning, unsafe, aggressive, etc. They'll never 'earn' any trust either, not from me, as they've done way too much damage without any semblance of humanity, even today.

There are so many alternatives to Uber that are better, safer, and even cheaper that there will never be a need to use Uber and they will never get any trust. The people up-top there have been so thoroughly evil for so long and the damage they have done so great that I have no interest trusting them ever again.

Edit: You downvoters have downvoted me so much I'm no longer allowed to reply or otherwise talk on HN. Goodbye.
Oddly enough, I find the Mac versions of Office much easier to use because they still have a menu system where everything sits still and behaves itself.
Oracle/PeopleSoft can do payroll for a defense contractor with tens of thousands of employees across multiple nations.

I think proper configuration is what's lacking in this case.
Political and social issues and economic issues are one. They are only disconnected in the strange milleu of libertarianism that America finds itself in.
Deliveroo, the biggest player in the UK does this https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/oct/28/deliveroo-d...
Are you sure the income inequality creates the immobility and isn't just linked to the immobility in other ways? The demonstration of other countries implies the latter, but even that is really hard to prove.
I disagree for two reasons.

1) What is mobility? The ability to move out of the lowest income group? How easily does that happen? If it's quick and easy, why doesn't everyone do it? And what about the reverse? How easy it for a person to move from a median income back into the lowest income. I think the idea of mobility is used as a reinforcement for the protestant work ethic / American dream sort of delusion that says "poor people can just work harder and save more and they won't be poor any more". But we have an enormous amount of evidence that points to that not being the case.

2) Also, you haven't provided an argument for why income inequality isn't a problem. If the lowest earners have extremely limited access to housing, healthcare or education, such as is the case in the U.S. I think that's a problem.

Our mission is to eliminate plastic bottles by making the best drinks instantly available, using purified tap water and natural flavors. Since our 2015 launch, we have saved over 9 million bottles and cans from entering the ecosystem. We’re a team of technology and design enthusiasts excited to take on a stagnant industry. Bottled beverage distribution is expensive, ineffective, and environmentally wasteful - and it hasn't changed significantly in decades. We're entirely cutting out the traditional bottled beverage supply chain, while taking point-of-use beverage creation to a new level.

How We Learned to Cheat at Online Poker: A Study in Software Security (1999)
Two, maybe three, decades too late for aluminum. I don't think there is a single aluminum plant left in the Pacific NW when we used to have a fair number of them with Reynolds and Kaiser. Those plants aren't just going to come back online either, an entire generation of workers has moved on.

Tangent: Recently I found that "3 games" a night really changed my approach to league and gave me more quality and less stress to start another game etc. etc.
Two people have asked essentially the same thing here, I'll answer this one because it was at the top. I am going to deliberately use a far-fetched scenario rather than invoke specific technologies, because there is no benefit to learning more specific here than "Nope, a competent CA must never allow this to happen".

Alice has public key A, and Bob has public key B, and everybody trusts Charlie the Certificate Agency to issue certificates, Alice has one binding (Alice,A) and Bob has one binding (Bob,B).

Alice controls a missile she will only accept Major Tom's commands. Bob runs firework displays, he accepts the display organizer's commands.

I want to fire Alice's missile. I impersonate Bob, and I trick Charlie into issuing a certificate (Bob,A) because she doesn't verify that I know the Private Key for A. Then I offer (as Bob) to run a really great firework show for Tom, and I give him the (Bob,A) certificate so he can command firework launching.

When Tom sends me a launch message encrypted to A, I simply deliver it to Alice, who launches the missile as I desired.

Alice was never compromised, neither was Tom. Charlie's only mistake was not verifying that I controlled the Private Key for the cert she issued me. Bob was compromised, but he was just running a firework business, he didn't know this was a matter of national security.
CloVR lets you play any PC game in virtual reality (VR)
As someone who is trying to learn ML, all the courses available are hugely helpful. One thing I wish I had easy access to is the process that someone goes through while trying to build a model on a real dataset.

Specifically following questions are the ones I struggle with:

1. How did you figure out what features would be useful?

2. How did you figure out what algorithm(s) are appropriate?

3. how and why did you massage the data in a specific way?
I think adjuncts only work when there are people that have a well-paying full-time job, but who would also have to teach part-time. Their motivations could include earning a bit of supplemental income, furthering their own skills (teaching is a great way to learn), making connections with students (perhaps their day-job employer allows them to teach in place of some of their normal responsibilities)...

Adjuncts don't work, IMHO, when the faculty is hoping to use the position as their sole source of income.
I'm in the same boat with my organization. My guess is that you'll be able to store the .gdoc 'files' in Dropbox and opening them will open the docs in your web browser, just like Drive File Stream.

I'm also curious how this will work with things like Team Drives. You cannot copy a folder from one Team Drive to another (unless you're a domain admin, and even then the folder's URL changes), for example.
Maybe I'm the only one who uses spacebar to mean "scroll down" (I find it very convenient), but I'm certain that no one uses it with the intent to open a giant search bar that obscures the article.
More vegan propaganda. I buy Italian prosciutto without anything added but salt. Anyway, nitrites are harmful if they convert to nitrosamines in your gut, which happens if you don't have an adequate intake of vitamin C. But if you don't have a proper intake of vitamin C, you'll have health issues with or without eating prosciutto anyway.
Hire the people who worked on The Frankenstein Chronicles. They really did a great job on getting the dirty London/Ankh Morpork right.

Regardless I'm skeptical if they can pull Discworld off. Probably a good idea to start with a Vimes mystery if the casting is good.

A notion I try to make ever-more front-of-mind: Read only worthy books.

It's similar to the advice of Henry David Thoreau in Two Weeks on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, much of which in fact discusses books and ideas:

It would be worth the while to select our reading, for books are the society we keep; to read only the serenely true; never statistics, nor fiction, nor news, nor reports, nor periodicals, but only great poems, and when they failed, read them again, or perchance write more. Instead of other sacrifice, we might offer up our perfect (τελεία) thoughts to the gods daily, in hymns or psalms. For we should be at the helm at least once a day. The whole of the day should not be daytime; there should be one hour, if no more, which the day did not bring forth. Scholars are wont to sell their birthright for a mess of learning. But is it necessary to know what the speculator prints, or the thoughtless study, or the idle read, the literature of the Russians and the Chinese, or even French philosophy and much of German criticism. Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.

I wouldn't be an absolutist on this point. But I'd note that very, very nearly all that is written is not worth reading. Including myself.
Absolutely not tacky (congratulations btw).

But let me share the situation I'm in. For the past 2+ years I had a hustle making me roughly $10k/month. Initially I was including that in my CV.

After talking with a few recruiters I would hear the skepticism in their voice (for example "so why do you want to do this now?" when applying for a junior position on a consulting company).

You see, after leaving the academia I had a short job and then started to hustle on my own, meaning I have almost no "experience", because apparently in the corporate world "self-employed" is a euphemism for unemployed. So most employers don't want to take a chance with such kind of person, and the ones that considered it realized they couldn't afford me because of the figure I had on my CV. This is even after I explained that I was happy with a regular junior role.

So now I removed that, which just makes me unexperienced and unemployable.
This description made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Switch on a dime between Javascript and JQuery? Lol.
