So no, it's not.

Insights About the Performance of Bootstrapped vs. Funded Startups
So is a fair summary, "In a weak attempt to force Digicert to revoke 23,000 certs, Trustico proved they had the private keys for those certs. In the process, Trustico also proved they are completely untrustable as a CA."?
You are welcome, I am most glad to have shared it with a like-minded soul. Don't forget to read the fine print! :)
A lot of it is due to the fact that many of these chips use ancient compilers, so the C++ support isn't that good.
You probably can't communicate effectively. If you are describing "Type two error" of course you will get eyes glossing over. A huge problem with research fields is their terse banal labels. Confusion matrix anyone?
Far better file synchronisation (peer to peer LAN sync, partial file sync, file requests). And you are the customer, not the product, to repeat a cliche.
The interesting thing is, both of you are completely correct.
Do you really need computer vision to detect when someone is in a game? There are certain static elements on the screen in every game that you could probably just take a current screenshot and match against known images?

I said, makefiles without the magic :)

If you only use plain rules and maybe simple pattern rules, avoid configure step, etc. Makefiles are simple, pretty and very generic.

Why do all other build systems have so much magic?

Why not declare rules and input/output in a pure functional manner?

That sounds like a negative externality that ISPs get to be lazy about and save money on by shoving the burden onto the cloudflares of the world. It’s really hard to dispose of hazardous waste when manufacturing things, but we force manufacturers to pay for the negative externalities. We should probably start thinking about the internet in the same way we think about the environment.
I have trouble understanding how doctors can make money with Heal? For me it is great, $99 and I have nice doctor show up when I don't feel well and diagnose and prescribe treatment. I don't understand how they can make money with this.
As someone who has never used Dropbox and has instead typically used Google Drive for doc sharing, could someone who's a user of Dropbox provide their perspective on how Dropbox is different and why it would make sense as a G Suite user to use dropbox vs Drive?
LimeSDR vs mini: http://qrznow.com/limesdr-mini/

”the LimeSDR Mini is a smaller, less expensive version of the original LimeSDR ... uses the same LMS7002M radio transceiver as its big sibling. The Mini has two channels instead of four, and, by popular demand, SMA connectors instead of micro U.FL connectors.”

If I understand the article's point, essentially, carriers pay for the egress traffic that causes DDoSes, that cost and the cost of the generated ill-will outweighs that of filtering, whose price has fallen and continues to fall.

Personally, I think that if the article author is correct, then I wonder if this is one of those high-level long-term decisions that companies appear absolutely incapable of making. (In my experience, short-term gains are way overvalued at the cost of long-term loss, generally, especially when it is hard to directly determine the costs/benefits involved.)
That crosses into personal attack. Please don't do this, regardless of how someone's comment lands with you; it breaks the site guidelines and eventually gets you banned.

Granted, but in corporate IT, where stakes are higher, those concession should be minimal. Like, setting up a certificate with only a CSR is server setup 101.

So with this I would be able to edit Google office docs directly from Dropbox / see it in my Dropbox folder?

For our startup tagtog.net this is useful because we like having all centralized into our docker folder and so not miss important documents in other services.

The Limits of Explainability
why don't you use your work email?
True. In my market - a major metroplitan area not on the west coast - I'm seeing salaries for hands on coders and architects maxing out at 150K for an FTE.

As a W2 contractor (meaning you work for the contracting company that pays the employeers share of employment taxes), I'm seeing rates up to $90 an hour.

If you assume 2080 hours a year - 80 hours holidays - 120 hours PTO - 120 hours between gigs, you are at $158,000 a year.

But the few times I have contracted, I have always gotten more than 40 hours a week. I'm just now at the point in my career that I could get top dollar contractor rates when I start back looking.

Let me clarify that those numbers are for W2 contractors. You're basically still working for another company. I'm not referring to 1099 contracting where you have to pay an additional 6.2% in SS up to $127K and 2.8% in Medicare.
Actually, multibillion dollar companies make the best customers, because they won't balk at a $400,000 contract, they'll expect it.
We don't need blob detection to tell us the game is running, but one of the core features of Temper is that it doesn't block you while you're in the middle of the game. To do that, we need to know when the game ends which we do by capturing the game screen and detecting when UI elements corresponding to the end of the game show up.

Definitely not all gamers needs an app like Temper, but we have noticed a fair number of people (including ourselves) benefit from the additional nudge to not play that extra game or two and go to bed instead.

To your last question - we do think that we can both be for-profit and build an app to help people. One similar model that we often think of is apps like MyFitnessPal - a tech company built to help people lose weight.

All good questions, thanks!
What does this mean for Dropbox Paper?
Even people getting a quickie masters is hit/miss in my experience. At the end of the day, successful machine learning engineers require a whole suit of different skills, both technical, communicative, and even life skills that don't really exist for software devs. Not all those can be taught in 3 months, 2 years or even 6 years.
After nearly a decade of lying, cheating, intentionally breaking the laws of various countries, spying on paying cusomters, spying on other people, aggressively attacking and spying on journalists, of attempting to discredit victims of rape by Uber drivers, harassing their competition using illegal tactics and lying about it, etc,

I don't care if they have "strong internal data access controls". They should have had that Day 1, they should never have lied or cheated and they certainly should not ever expect anyone to trust them about anything ever again.

First, I doubt that it's true that they have strong controls. I don't trust organizations that have such a long, clear and bragging history of lying.

Second, that sounds like the Titanic being unsinkable. As if I'm going to trust Uber with personal health data - they are the first group I'd suspect to try to sell that data under the table, the first group I'd expect to abuse the power, and also the first group I'd expect to suffer internal leaks or external hacks.

No way I would trust this given the very recent and abhorrent behaviour of the executives at the company.

Edit: Also this,

> and any user data access need a ticket and a justification before accessing

is not secure. Sounds to me like any user can make a ticket and create any justification they like. This is like the NSA saying "any user of our PRISM system is logged and watched" - but what happens when millions of tickets are going through? Is each one actually being carefully inspected for abuse? If Uber executives are in charge of this decision then no way do I trust it.
Leave it to the New York Times to call Chairman Mao's rule "traumatic." 46 million dead is, at the very least, a genocidal rule. Not mentioning this fact in an article about Communist China's totalitarian tendencies is a problem.
I would imagine disabled and old people would use this the most (people who use Acess-A-Ride in nyc for example), but obviously this means vehicles would have to be accessible to them, and how can you guarantee that with Uber using shady contractors who have to maintain their own vehicles?
Since moving just outside of Portland, none of these delivery companies cover my area with the exception of uber eats. It's insane considering how many large corps are all around (intel, nike, etc).

Edit: Apparently grubhub decided my address was in their area, nice!

Doxa: incentivized social media devoted to the highest quality
It's Sunday. You're extremely hungover. Chinese food sounds great. What's not to understand about ordering delivery? Ultimately it boils down to convenience.
It's possible to infer from this that CA ordered an output from IBM, rather than an outcome.

IBM can claim that they have indeed delivered the thing that was ordered, while CA remain disappointed that the effect they had in mind is missing.

In Canada's defense though, it's sometimes hard to find someone who will even take on contracts of this magnitude. Getting good terms, even more so.
How is "up or out" enforced? If someone is consistently performing for their level but never seeks promotion, would they just be unceremoniously fired?
Been using the free version, just checked out their dashboard, that looks pretty nice. Might have to get my webmaster to pony up for it, so I can run it.

The phone that I was referencing with my comment is my Pixel 2 (and the Pixel I had before it) which gets OS updates faster than any other Android phone. Possibly not quite as fast as LineageOS gets them, but I imagine they are pretty neck and neck in that regard.

I used to use a Samsung Galaxy S4 with CyanogenMod for the security reasons you mention, though. I agree that LineageOS is more secure than most Android phones because the update model is so bad. Sometimes I forget because it's actually quite nice on the Pixel line.
Uber Health lets doctor's offices order patients a ride
Open letter re: ASL19 and hostile work environments in the Internet Freedom Comm
You are right that "they are using equally ideologically driven people from other countries".

France is effectively censored by the norms and values of Algeria, which is evidently the low-cost place to find people who understand French.
So I am guessing if a prop is `instanceof Promise` or some other constructor then it must trigger this response . . . is that correct?
What position are you interviewing for?

If it's heavier on the engineer side, letting the number of downloads speak for itself (as an indicator of your apps' success and indirectly of your quality as an app developer) could be enough.

If interviewing for a PM / management position, revenue could be a useful indicator that you managed both the development and some aspects of marketing / bizdev. It might also be interesting to break down revenue per month/year, if you want to show growth patterns. This is something that could become a good talking point during the interview ("I've learned that my apps do better in X markets during Y times of the year, which is super interesting because...")

Also depends on the company (big? small? nonprofit? etc.), what they value (their "culture"), etc.

(Congrats on your apps' success by the way) :-)
-Developed a suite of applications that generated 100 millions dollars with a user base of 500K?

I dont see why not.
Google's branding continues to confuse me. Isn't Google Cloud their AWS competitor, and the thing they're talking about in this article called G Suite?
Original title is "Open letter regarding ASL19 and hostile work environments in the Internet Freedom Community", which is 91 characters and therefore too long for HN.
I don't have any of this available where I live. But there are definitely times when I'd be willing to pay for something to be delivered rather than having to hop in my car and drive 10 minutes or whatever to pick something up.
Platterz | Front and Backend Developers | Toronto | Competitive Salary & Benefits | Onsite | Visa | www.platterz.ca

Platterz is on a mission to make offices across North America more human by simplifying the process of ordering catered food, and encouraging teams to gather around and enjoy a good meal. Our platform makes it easy to view menus from hundreds of local caterers and restaurants, customize a meal to your team’s dietary restrictions and preferences, and place an order for any occasion.

We’re looking for front and backend developers with experience using Heroku, NodeJS, Postgres, Rails, Angular 4 & Typescript, Sass, Github, and Git.

Our office is dynamic, supportive, and - if we’re honest - a lot of fun. Here’s a testimony from one of our actual developers:

“Coming into work every day is a pleasure. Spending time with coworkers.. I’m really interested in my work… I really couldn’t be more effusive about the quality of the environment… And the fact that I’m able to work on projects that I’m passionate about….”

So maybe we aren’t the most articulate - but you get it. If you value working in an intellectually stimulating environment, with lots of opportunities for growth (and free food), this might be the place for you. Our company ethos is focussed around making sure that employees get treated like human beings - so our approach to things like flex time, and encouraging and celebrating each team member’s personal achievements (in and out of the office) reflects that.

If you’re interested in learning more about our hiring process, check out the listings here: https://www.platterz.ca/c/careers/.

Also, feel free to reach out via email at jobs@platterz.ca.
This is exactly the issue. I still have a MacBook Pro from 2009,a first gen iPad, and a first gen iPod Touch. All still work well, though I did have to replace the battery in the MacBook. But none of them can run supported software...
