Kinetic Commerce | Toronto, ON | Full Time, Onsite

Kinetic Commerce is a Toronto-based design and innovation lab. We use world-class technology and design to build the future of retail, creating seamless, engaging in-store and mobile experiences for customers.

We work with businesses of all sizes to rethink their products, services, and user experiences to meet the needs of today’s digitally connected customer.

We currently use GraphQL, Elixir, and PostgreSQL to implement our next generation multi-tenant platform, previously implemented in Ruby (Rails). We have shipped services in Lua (over Nginx) and Go, and will use other technologies as needed (including AMQP/RabbitMQ, Vue.js, Redis, Ansible, Terraform, and MySQL) to deliver the services we and our clients require.

We are looking for a Senior Platform Engineer to work onsite at our Toronto office. You will be designing, implementing, and improving these back-end services. This is a great opportunity to extend both your hard skills and your soft skills, as senior developers at Kinetic Commerce are expected to participate in mentoring programs to our more junior developers, and will also receive mentoring in performing those duties.

You can apply here: http://kineticcafe.applytojob.com/apply/FdIF9g/Platform-Engi...

I would hope that it gets done sooner than later. Had a 6S with a serial from a bad batch and sent it to Apple for repair/replacement. They refused to fix it citing "3rd party modifications" with no further explanation or evidence. It wasn't until I escalated the issue up 3 levels and provided photos of the phone in stellar condition at the time of shipping did they finally back down. The experience bothered me so much that I switched to Android. Your post made me realize that perhaps engineers are so overwhelmed with 6S repairs that they are just declining them.
Stuff like this reminds me of "Star Wars: A New Hope", where people noticed how the storm troopers kept missing Hans Solo despite having so many hi-tech rifles firing at him. "How can they miss him? They are highly trained and so many of them firing at him at once." These IT anecdotes might explain why.
I have never said and do not support a statement that 'maybe them being poor is for the best.'

You started out saying a moral person would say that the positive consequences of the gilded age were not worth its negative experiences. I disagree.

You then say:
"Ignoring that it's very odd to retroactively justify immoral behavior because of unintended, positive side effects: I'm saying that being critical, like asking if the slave-like conditions of most of the population were actually necessary, is a pretty reasonable thing to do."

By saying this you are effectively saying that I am defending immoral behavior with the misconception that such behavior directly led unintentionally to positive consequences. I don't think that, and I'm not doing that. I'm specifically saying that removing 'robber barons' from the equation entirely removes both the positive effects and actions and the negative. The positive and negative are done by the same person, but the actions causing them were entirely different. This isn't simple, as you continue to point out (while, it seems, attempting to simplify it entirely)

People want to reduce inequality - ok, how? I think that's important to figure out. What kind of inequality? Wealth or income or some other kind? What is the consequence of inequality?

To find out, we need to view history as a complex thing and understand both the pleasant and unpleasant, as well as their consequences. Conflict has been a powerful tool, historically. The excesses of one group have often given rise to conflict with another group, which then created a system of greater equality. Could that have happened without the conflict? I'm not sure, I don't have many examples where that happened and a ton of examples where it didn't.

There are a lot of times where people did awful things and they either didn't result in positive consequences or what was positive was not worth the loss. The Gilded Age? Probably not one of those times.
Are you look for engineers at all levels or for senior level engineers only?
I ordered a plotter kit off of ebay a few weeks ago with zero instructions. I finally found an assembly video online in Chinese and managed to get it built, but still haven't been able to get it to print anything using Inkscape, which is what was recommended. I'm pretty discouraged and haven't messed with it in a few days, but this gets me motivated to try again.
SLAs usually pay nothing if the downtime is less than allowed.
I'm giving you insight into why people disagree with you. I think if you actually look at it from their point of view it makes sense as it's logical and/or consistent with their morals. A lot of people just aren't that bothered that choosing an option that benefits them also benefits the 1% (often even more so).
We created a unified cloud storage API at https://kloudless.com to help solve this integration problem.
Your blog posts are what inspired me to purchase a plotter kit of my own! Thank you!

Now if I could just get it to work... ;)
There is also a successful campaign to focus on the top 1% income and ignore the top 1% of the wealthy and maybe the top 0.1% of income...
As an American who has worked at IBM, I'm also not surprised that this didn't find success.

They messed up my own payroll, by sending too little, then too much, then we had a 6 month back and forth trying to resolve it.
Every time I see news about Nim I just wish Cobra[0] would get the same love...

Both are fairly profitable, however the bulk of our income is via HeavyMETL as we can get customers that are willing to commit to big contracts (>$1MM/year). Bx was a labour of love, because I too did not like the existing bookkeeping packages.

We're going to be releasing an improved version of Bx with some additional project management and task management functionality, so stay tuned! It's going to be a pretty awesome addition to the basic project management stuff on there already, so be sure to check back in a month or two :)
If You Are a Fan of Jason Aldean Give Jagertown Rearview a Listen on YouTube
Jason Aldean’s “You Make It Easy” and Jagertown’s “Rearview” lyrics are quite similar but quite the opposite, Aldean’s tune is all about how he is so into this girl and how he can’t wait to be with her vs Jagertown’s “Rearview” which is all about breaking up with the girl who he thought was Ms. Right leaving her in the Rearview mirror and movin’ on with his life. “Rearview” is charting on Music Row at #5 for most added and Aldean’s “You Make It Easy” is at number 18 on Music Row’s Breakout Chart and both songs totally rock. Watch Jagertown’s “Rearview” lyric video here ( : bit.ly/RearviewVideo ) and Jason Aldean’s “You Make it Easy” lyric video here ( : smarturl.it/58nslq )

What are some projects that succeeded and/or impressed you?
It was a very small study.

I didn't read the whole study, but I bet it could be picked apart.

My wish is HN would only allow complete studies to be posted here, and not just summaries.
In a broader sense, only 11% of stops led to anything.

Recent News
2013-12-23 Cobra 0.9.6 has been released.

Maybe because this is Hacker "News" and Cobra hasn't had a release in 4-5 years is why it's not mentioned much.
Probably because you don't notice the corruption.

That vendor that has lots of technical issues and the manager that is refusing to change. Well, they know each other and the vendor is giving kickbacks for dragging it out as long as possible.
I feel like there has been evidence to say that for the past three years, yet they keep screwing up.
Nim transpiles to C, C++, or JavaScript so it can run on nearly anything (Windows, Linux, MacOS, embedded to some degree, web browser...etc). Cobra appears to be .NET, so a little more restricted I guess.
Here is the new Chinese phone DOOGEE V, similar to IPHONE X

Imho, this is a problem that shouldn't be solved by single companies in isolation. Otherwise, we end up with 15 different standards.
As someone who struggles to get my Grandmother to doctors appointments and, as a result, she has high cancelation rates - I think this has the opportunity to be an incredibly valuable two-sided market.

- Doctors are incentivized to have fewer cancelations and help get their patients to and from appointments.

- People get to the doctor more often and have better care.

Uber is easy to hate on, but this seems like a societal net-positive. Good for them.

Login with Facebook and Facebook Platform Policy
My startup has built a web app and we would like to integrate Login with Facebook. I'm trying to determine whether our particular use of Login with Facebook subjects us to Facebook's Platform Policy.

According to Facebook:

"Apps may ask for the following three permissions from any person without submitting for review by Facebook:
public profile
email
user_friends"

(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/overview)

We only want to access these 3 permissions and therefore will not be undergoing Login Review by Facebook (in which Facebook's "review team actually use your app and will provide guidance and feedback to ensure you're meeting our Platform Policies").

Since we are not undergoing Login Review, is our web app still subjected to Facebook's Platform Policy? There are several clauses in the Platform Policy that I find very concerning, such as:

"We can analyze your app, website, content, and data for any purpose, including commercial."

"You give us the right to link to or frame your app, and place content, including ads, around your app."

(https://developers.facebook.com/policy/)

We would love to improve our onboarding experience by including Login with Facebook but I'm not sure it's worth agreeing to those terms, especially since our product is competing somewhat with certain Facebook features. Does anyone have any guidance on this matter? Thanks in advance.

Is the title inaccurate or no?
Seems like nim is still doing well and progressing.

I last looked into it about 2 years ago, when the library ecosystem was very bare-bones and the language quite buggy, but promising non the less.

Clean, Python-like syntax and generally a joy to code in.

Anyone here actively using Nim and can share some insight into it's current state?
You jest but really it shouldn't cost 2B for a database.
Is China running circles around America?
I wish our government spent all that money figuring out how to make seawater affordably drinkable. Interesting nonetheless.
It’s likely more complicated than this and there is probably tons of blame and failure to go around on all sides, particularly on the management and oversight side.
My one day of day-trading cryptocurrency nearly put me over the edge mentally. Yes I've had my share of high-risk decisions and investments in life, but that was a mindf*&k I've never really encountered. Whatever gain I had wasn't worth it.

So searching an image is definitely nice, but it's a tradeoff in my opinion as it takes much longer to write out an equation in equation editor (I'm very proficient btw) or the other mathematical CAD tools I use when compared to a Notebook sketch. I use them all the time, take a pic and put it in OneNote with some keywords to search.
So thats why my post shows up collapsed.

Of course I got flagged. That's how the passive-aggressive asshole brigade fights back
There’s lots of perfectly accurate things you can say that are still disingenuous. “@tabeth didn’t beat up a homeless person today” for example.
Why do you think that women who forced to constantly experience all kinds of problems and overload because of their gender, should be concerned about well being of groups and institutions (that tend to force them into these problems) at the expense of their own safety? Maybe you imply some ideal situation in which it is totally safe for an average woman to communicate openly like you suggest, but how often is it really the case given a huge problem of sexism we are discussing here and multiple evidence of which you were just presented?
>after an embarrassing social incident you ruminate on your behaviour

I like to reframe this as gratitude for the opportunity to reflect on a situation and come up with ideas for what I could have done differently, and eager to find analogous opportunities to test these new ideas out. Get enough of these opportunities and do enough “social experiments” and you can become more socially gifted than most.

Generally I reframe everything in terms of its positive effects, and I’ve found that some people are disbelieving — “you can’t possibly really think that way.” But it’s fantastically effective for my happiness, and I’ve noticed that excessive irrational positivity is also quite socially magnetic.

I hope that language education services don't forget the desktop experience. As someone who spends 8h a day online, I have times where I go home and don't want to look at a screen.

I want a good desktop experience. I'd love something that would ping me every few hours to make me exercise my language practice.
I think my comment is quite clear.
>Imagine if for every one of these stories, a colleague of the person dealing with discrimination or peer of the discriminator had tapped them on the shoulder and said,

I think the problem is that this stuff can be very hard to detect. If there's even the slightest chance of negative repercussions then the few responsible will stop talking.
Just in the off-chance this is useful to someone: If you find yourself needing the Postgres parser elsewhere, e.g. in some custom tooling to analyze SQL queries, I extracted it into a library some time ago:

https://github.com/lfittl/libpg_query

Your comment still applies though, as a lot of the parser output is very specific to the chosen Postgres version (10 at the moment) and can change unpredictably.
Georgia Tech has an graduate course on Machine Learning CS-7641. There are four major projects in that course where the students must analyze (and re-analyze) a chosen dataset. Here is an example of the code one student used: https://github.com/JonathanTay/CS-7641-assignment-1
Unfortunately all the plotting code was intentionally removed. Sometimes the project reports make it online (http://www.dudonwai.com/docs/gt-omscs-cs7641-a3.pdf?pdf=gt-o...) . Having spent several months of my life on the assignments I'd say that only way to learn it is to try a whole bunch of different things and try and figure out why some work and why some don't. Sometimes you learn from the failures, sometimes from the unexpected successes.
I agree that the headline of the article is a bit misleading. According to the US News ranking where this report gets its data from, California finished #32 overall. Given that, I don't disagree that California's quality of life is terrible. I would think that US News is aggregating this data based on the whole of California, and given that the homeless rate in California is among the highest and that tech constantly pushes up cost of living, it makes sense that California would be ranked so poorly overall. I would assume that most of HN is full of those working in tech, so while you may not personally see California as having poor quality of life in your own lives, that doesn't necessarily hold true for the majority of the state.

I just don't understand why anyone likes the status quo of your insurance being tied to your job.

Well the ACA is still a thing now, but I don't think I could charge enough to make the difference in the amount of pay be worth the benefit cost. Maybe if I were single?
And it just "takes a few weeks"!
Except when a party also has the certificate information and private key and does a man in the middle attack without you knowing, because of resigning the data with the exact same key :)
By the way, I'm using XFS only because it allows for more than 64k hardlinks per file. Strangely, this isn't possible with ext4 out of the box.
Jonathan Haidt proposed a similar system in his book "The Happiness Hypothesis". He called it the automatic and controlled sides. The automatic side/system 1 is also what's being described in the book "The Inner Game of Tennis". I would summarize the two sides as the reflexive and the deliberate sides.
Snark or not, the traffic is filtered upstream before your handoff. If you pick your carriers well, there's not a problem. Many carriers have turned upstream filters into a product. NTT's DPS Lite springs to mind.

This just comes down to experience and knowing how to build a network. I'd think that Github would have people knowing how to architect this. They've been through a few DDoS before.

Edit: It looks like Github uses NTT for traffic. Hello Github Netops person, you need to call your sales rep and turn on DPS Lite. It's like $100 per 10gig port and you get full ACLs. Telia, another one of your carriers, will do this too. At least they have for me. Level3 though? Lol kick that sorry network to the curb

Also, get another /22 allocation so you can at least separate out your DC-origin traffic from your customer traffic.
