Pex | Multiple Positions | Downtown, Los Angeles | ONSITE, FULL-TIME | Salary $110k+ & Equity | https://pex.com

Pex is a audio-visual search engine, that uses the content as a base for its search (think of Google Image Search). We operate at a pretty large scale, which was captured in a recent post published by the Google Cloud team (it's not very technical) https://cloud.google.com/customers/pex/

We're looking for skilled senior developers (C/C++, Go, Java), machine learning and signal processing engineers. We offer 30 days of paid vacation, fully covered health benefits (gold/platinum plan), commuter benefits, cover costs of visiting conferences, and more.

Our interview process is pretty straight forward:

1) phone interview - ~30 minutes

2) coding assignment - ~1 hour [you do it at home, on your own time]

3) on site - ~3 hours [no whiteboard coding, just friendly discussion with some of our engineers and the leadership]

4) offer

If you want to learn more, reach out directly to me at r@pex.com
It was the same exact speech. The only variance was "we at [TV station name]."
Certainly your right. Alas, no financial involvement with Tesla either way.

Also, it is a very expensive golf cart, although less comfortable than some.

Really, if you have a spare computer of any type. I run it on a VM and it works just fine. It was made for Raspberry Pis but it'll work on any system.
Sure, but that first cigarette you light up is going to taste absolutely disgusting, whether compared to vaping or not. I just don’t get why anyone would think it would be better to continue smoking instead of vaping, unless they’re somehow into the taste of campfires.

True, the actual outcomes and probabilities are complicated, and there are many success scenarios where uber doesn't yield a trillion dollar market cap. I was being simplistic, to demonstrate the principle.

Apple, Amazon & Apple are headed towards that trillion now, so I think this is a possibility, and possibilities drive investment. If the stock market itself stays good, it is almost inevitable one of the three will tip that number soon. Once one does, I'd expect a half dozen within a decade.

On the taxi market cap... This is an interesting one. I agree that uber had their eye on more/bigger opportunities (especially self driving), but ignoring that... The market cap of an industry is not only related to its size. It's related to the margins, lock-in and other attributes of the companies operating within it. Also, debt & capital efficiency. A more competitive market may have lower market caps, because margins are thinner and companies can fail.

IE, while market cap of the industry might be Y, "an uber" dominating that industry might still achieve a market cap of 5Y.
Because they want to live in Southern Ontario and those are the prevailing wages there? (I don’t know if this is true)

I agree that this seems low even outside of sv, but it doesn’t take a lot of looking to find places where even dramatically lowered salaries lead to better quality of life compared to the valley.
frankly, i'm shocked at how low the pay is on many of these. great idea though.

Envoy | All types of software engineering jobs | San Francisco, CA and distributed | Full-time | https://envoy.com

We're on a mission to create the office of the future and visitor management is just the beginning. We already launched our second product (Deliveries).

We’re building a world where you know instantly when packages are delivered; where your office unlocks securely and automatically when you arrive; where you can book a meeting room simply by walking through the door.

We have almost half of our team working full-time remotely.
Continental US time zones are preferred so we can easily collaborate.

Our stack is built on Ruby&Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elixir, JavaScript (Ember, React Native), and a few more things. We’re currently hosted on Heroku with some AWS (mostly Lambda) though we are constantly reevaluating as we scale.

We value being a top-notch organization with a strong engineering-driven culture, and have the same high standards with our code, systems, and people. We value learning and growth (and not being bored) and hire diverse, well-rounded, communicative people we can envision being friends with and trusting.

You can get more info on our jobs page https://envoy.com/jobs/ Or just apply to https://goo.gl/GEy3JE and we’ll make sure to get back to you.
But it's not--I've worked with it for many years and Ubuntu and others are still ticky tack and annoying and you can't get decent apps the way you can on a Mac. It's fine for lightweight work, but for really hardcore development work it sucks.
If a car company guaranteed a specific vehicle, they'd probably have to charge a premium and have stricter cancellation policies (which most don't have at all now). With SUVs in particular, I find pricing is all over the map if you try to reserve one in advance and, as you say, it's not guaranteed. I find that I have the most luck just using National's Emerald Aisle which lets me pick the car I want when I get to the airport. But it's still not guaranteed--though I've always been able to get an SUV when I've wanted one.
Sinclair does not report on anything. Local TV stations do their own journalism, but Sinclair owns the station and can order the local broadcasters to read scripts.

Those topics are likely the only ones with concrete evidence.

Gun Culture Is My Culture. And I Fear for What It Has Become
I don't know... Uber (et al) opened a lot of people to the "lets a hire a driver" mindset. Outside of some major urban centers, the idea of taking a cab was just weird. Uber came a long and suddenly people were taking them everywhere. Not just people who would have otherwise taken a cab, but people who otherwise would have driven themselves.

This is just anecdata from my observations and discussions with others who had similar observations. But it would be interesting to find real numbers on this.
Your take doesn't jibe with Sinclair requiring their stations to air Boris Epshteyn and his, uh, "analysis".
Nah, they've just linked to another upload -- if you want to know the account, the link under "social media" points to the same video as the embed one.

Besides, the original is Deadspin's article[1]. The video was downloaded and posted on Youtube. The Reddit user said that oneself. Deadspin, of course, also got the idea and news elsewhere, e.g., the linked ThinkProgress video in the article.

This message was tailored to push the "fake news" narrative of the current administration under the guise of journalistic integrity. It is designed to engender absolute distrust in non-Sinclair media, which given Sinclair's enormous market share[0] is unwarranted and harmful to the democracy.

Why would this be classified by Sinclair a MUST run segment for likely one reason? Easy: to curry favor with the White House to clear the path for further consolidation. Trump speaks glowingly of Sinclair,[1] despite what others consider to be anti-competitive acquisitions and mergers and detrimental to a healthy free press.[2] Yet, Trump has taken action to prevent CNN from merging with Time Warner which is currently being tried in a courtroom.[3] The difference is that CNN's news reporting is very unfavorable to this White House.

This is not how a democracy remains healthy, or, really, how one continues to exist.

Cox does. And I think Kabletown does, too.

> I've yet to see this on any ISP I've used anywhere, sans free airport wifis. Travelled pretty much every continent on earth.

I guess you've never been to Turkey.
Because Sinclair just purchased more TV stations, so many in fact that it was banned under previous administrations at the FCC. At the start of 2017, the FCC just rewrote the rules allowing Sinclair to own a large swath of the US's local news capacity.

In many markets they're the sole source of local news.

Do you know if Chrome uses Google Public DNS by default? I've heard it does for performance and avoiding problems with ISPs' crappy DNS. I imagine it would still need to fall back to local DNS to resolve names on enterprise intranets.

Modern C isn't particularly close to processor instructions. 20-40 years old C is reasonably close to that benchmark -- or more like 20-40 years old C compilers.

Re: seems like a ridiculous strategy. Who would abandon an ecosystem that they own over 80% of

I suspect it's a mere marketing strategy to jack up their stock price and gain a "cool factor". MS will go wherever the market/profits leads them.

Their cloud is commercially successful, a rarity for new MS products actually, and that's where they currently see future growth. But if Windows stays a nice cash cow, they'll quietly milk it.

"Productivity" applications still need a real GUI, something the Web has yet to do right cross-browser: CSS/JS/DOM is a mess. I believe we need a WYSIWYG standard to get GUI's right. The server side can still scale the window & widgets per device size under WYSIWYG, so it's a myth that WYSIWYG is anti-mobile. The client-side auto-flow approach sucks for efficient UI's.

Well they're dumb kids for one. But also smoking feels better than vaping. From what I've looked into it seems that tobacco smoke contains not just nicotine but also MAOIs which amplify the addictiveness and pleasure of the nicotine. Do note that I've quit now, through cold turkey though.
This is the same problem google faced and 'solved' by with the page-rank algorithm. I've seen some attempts at applying this to the reference graph, but it doesn't seem to be taking off.

Just imagine the diversity and conversations you would have in that banquet hall... conversing alongside the evolution of common fashion and speech.

You (currently being working class in present day) would likely be the most sought after person of interest, even among some of the bigger names in history. Behind you lies empty space of generations yet to come, who will immediately become more interesting if the same banquet were to be repeated with their inclusion.

What topic would you approach them with? Current events? Medicine? Tech? What could they simply pull from their pocket that would blow our minds today?

Senior Developers play work on a huge variety of projects and play an important role in making our work a success. You could be helping to influence the digital strategy of a retail giant, building a new mobile application for a bank, or redesigning platforms using event sourcing and intelligent data pipelines. You’ll use the latest Lean and Agile thinking, solve mission-critical problems and challenge yourself everyday.

What we're looking for:
* Ability to write high-quality, well-tested code. We don’t limit ourselves to one language; experience in any of Java, Scala, C#, Javascript, Ruby or Python is preferred
* Experience working with Agile, Lean and/or Continuous Delivery approaches such as Continuous Integration, TDD, Infrastructure as Code, etc.
* Knowledge and appreciation of cloud technology such as AWS, Docker or Kubernetes is a plus

OK now you have to prove that Disney/CNN/etc. is pushing a pro-abortion agenda.

> And it is also possible to intentionally structure some sounds in a way as to be not music, or unmusic, which is the impression I get listening to Four Organs.

This is artwork, and your impression is largely irrelevant.

This sentiment that it's too simple or too unintentional reminds me of how I felt when I was 12 and laid eyes upon Clyfford Still's 1951-52 at the Chicago Art Institute. It didn't seem like art to me at the time, but now I see that it is- and that I don't get to define what art is or isn't.

Erasing Complexity: The Comfort of Apple’s Ecosystem
With the shift to the various 21st century streaming platforms, broadcast TV in its traditional form is rapidly becoming the bastion of the elderly. The average traditional broadcast news viewer is 50+[1] so very soon Sinclair will be dominating retirement homes everywhere in America. It's a demographic that will literally die out from under them, and seems like a poor long-term investment.

Something you are forgetting, which is what will lead all this to blow up one way or another since the savages have gone LARPing as civilized people, is that these post-modern, Marxist cancerous virus in disguise, types looooove changing the rules of the game as it suits them, mid game, but they start screeching and yelling and throwing tantrums the second someone also changes rules mid game to counter their rigging and cheating and lying and deception, but they do so even when you just call them out as the cheating, lying, self-harming, mentally deranged psychopaths they are.

I don't know when it will happen and how long the caldron will boil until it boils over, but we are in an extremely dangerous time now with the civilized world dealing with the absolute worst enemy humans can face, unrealized internal treasonous saboteurs that are undermining and poisoning and polluting the civilized world to undermine it and make it collapse under its own weight.

We don't even realize it, like most hegemons throughout history, that the western, civilized, white world is in a world war, a new technology war a war of the information and emotional manipulation age that is an outcropping and expansion of psychological warfare. If America, let alone Europe and the western valued societies in general, do not wake up soon, they will simply collapse once the facade and defensive walls simply cannot even hold themselves up and will collapse under their own wight as their foundations have been thoroughly undermined.
