As a Software Engineer at Passport, you will be at the center of our efforts to build and/or redesign scalable software solutions for our clients. You will design, develop, test, and debug software, and your efforts will be critical to ensuring we are building and deploying code that meets the ongoing needs of our clients. You will work closely with the application product team and take direction from more senior engineers and leads.

Responsibilities: Developing and testing software modules, modifying and enhancing existing software, working on project teams to develop software, participating in the full development lifecycle - including: development, testing, deployment and support, managing your workload to meet the deadlines and goals provided, debugging and troubleshooting, optimizing and improving existing code, communicating key project status to team members and proactively identifying issues, documenting key work processes, understanding basic business context for code being built, learning new concepts and software regularly
Application Performance Monitoring in Node.js
> When they switched to Intel, I recall there being a lot of talk of benefits to running on the same chips as everyone else.

They switched to Intel first and foremost because PowerPC was not going to get them the performance/power ratio that they wanted. It was holding them back in laptops. For example, Apple never shipped a laptop with a G5 chip because it took so much damn power to run a G5. Intel was basically their only option.

A secondary benefit, which they marketed heavily, was the opportunity to boot your machine natively into Windows. They thought this would help overcome the reluctance of "switchers" who were worried that they would miss something about Windows.

These days, the role of the OS as a gatekeeper is basically gone. There's greater diversity in client OS (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS, Android, etc.) and most anything important is available through a browser or a native app.

And Intel is no longer their only option. They've proven they can run big businesses making their own chips.

I do wonder how this will affect VM performance on Macs though. I don't see how it can be maintained, unless Apple chips are so much faster than Intel that they can absorb the translation overhead.
Today, I'm pleased to announce the launch of NodeReaction, an open source performance monitoring framework in Node.js.
Please "clap" our Medium article (50 claps!), and "star" our GitHub profile. Happy hacking friends!
For me,

1. Getting packages with apt on ubuntu without installing homebrew. It's vastly simpler and natively supported by ubuntu. I can also update my entire system with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.

2. Native docker support.

3. On mac, I always ask the question whether something is ctrl-c or cmd-c, say. On linux it's always ctrl.

4. I don't have to login to the apple store to get the software I need.

5. Linux has always been command-line first. On mac it's always been GUI first.

6. Macbooks are terribly built, and fail for a number of reasons. [1]

7. The Apple brand, while it used to be one of homebrew is now akin to one of fashion. It's kind of like seeing all the kids walk around with their "Hollister" t-shirts on.

I could go on I suppose but those are the meat of the issues.

> The rust belt folks believe that the country will switch to manufacturing things locally and consumers will eat the cost increase (or not eat, pun intended). They may be correct, they may not. Seems like we get the experiment regardless of our point of view.

They are simply not correct, unfortunately. There's no need to experiment.

The issue is not with manufacturing per se. Its with manufacturing JOBS. The USA is far more efficient today with computers / automation managing huge swaths of our manufacturing process. Even if we increase output dramatically, we won't make many jobs.

The sad fact is that automation is destroying that way of life. US Manufacturing is severely up over the past few decades. Aside from recessionary periods (2008, 2001, etc. etc.), the US has constantly manufactured more and more things.

We've just managed to do it with fewer and fewer people.
AFAIK the biggest impediment might be that Intel would need to license Apple to do so, not to talk about patents etc.

Hey the blog has a way to implement the entire algorithm yourself in python or implement using a docker image on your own machine or see The source code for the Docker image that uses tensorflow so you can play around with it.

Being late never stopped anybody from filing for a patent.

I've been sued by patent trolls that somehow got a patent on live streaming video to the browser way past where we were doing it in public. Others have been on the receiving end of similar lawsuits. Fortunately our efforts were very well documented so we managed to get rid of them but it was quite annoying that such a patent ever got granted. Especially because I made a conscious decision not to patent it myself because I felt it was a trivial thing and the time was simply ripe for doing it.
They don't have to suspend Autopilot as legally they can claim they require you to be fully alert at all times. Of-course this negates all benefits of Autopilot and still let's them continue to scam people into selling Tesla's as more safer than common adaptive cruise control.
It seems like it would be easier to talk to dbs if we had a way to work directly with tables in Go, but it's not clear how to do that without resorting to the empty interface. R is great at dealing with tables so maybe it could be looked to as an example.

Apple frequently introduces changes to its OS that caters to the average user without any hindsight for developers. A good example I had to deal with; I wanted to change the port the SSH daemon listens on. With El Capitan and future versions you have to temporarily disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) - which requires two reboots - in order to make the change to the ssh.plist file. As you can see it's a common problem: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/208481 It's lots of little things like this that require extra effort on OSX but which are straightforward on a decent Linux distro.
Amazon is selling an abstraction, and goes to great expense to not have access to customer data. If you are a HIPPA covered entity, they sign a BAA that puts them on the hook.

It's like the difference between putting your papers in a storage locker versus your friends garage. The storage company ultimately has access to the locker, but is less likely to snoop (either consciously or accidentally) than any of the folks with access to that garage.
Panic selling is always an emotional response. There is no forward earnings analysis going on here, just "get the fuck out of the market" selling.
When I was at Microsoft, it was $1000 and a trophy called a 'Patent Cube". I knew a couple of people who had a profitable sideline of manically brainstorming bullshit patents together, for every little thing they worked on. They had stacks of these trophies in their offices.
Valid point; I hadn't considered it that way. There's still a large difference in audience between the two but ultimately you're surrendering the information to unknown parties.

The way in which the German government has been co-opted by the church to act as their debt collectors is fairly disgusting and no longer of this day and age.
Passport Inc. | Mid-Level Software Developer | Charlotte, NC | Onsite | Full-time

As a Mid-Level Software Engineer at Passport, you will be at the center of our efforts to build and/or redesign scalable software solutions for our clients. You will design, develop, test, and debug software, and your efforts will be critical to ensuring we are building and deploying code that meets the ongoing needs of our clients. You will work closely with cross-functional departments to understand and develop project requirements.

Responsibilities: Developing and directing software system validation and testing methods, overseeing the development of documentation, working closely with clients and cross-functional departments to communicate project statuses and proposals, analyzing data to effectively design new systems or modify existing systems, managing the software development lifecycle, communicating key project information to team members and building cohesion among teams, developing and executing project plans, adept at problem-solving, applying best practices and standard operating procedures, creating innovative solutions to meet our company’s technical needs, understanding basic business context and downstream impacts of code being built, testing new software and fixing bugs, teaching software development best practices to others
If Apple manages to lose both designers and developers, I think the whole ecosystem (not just macOS) will suffer more than Apple's management realizes. I also don't think it's possible to run the numbers on this scenario.

Without the insistence of so many designers on using a Mac, would macOS really have won a foothold in corporate environments? If enough designers and developers switch to Windows, who's to say that macOS won't slowly turn into a hobbyist OS that no IT department wants to support (like Linux, or Macs ~12 years ago)?
IMO iOS’s success comes more from the quality of the applications than the security model per se.

The iPad is a good case showing how the same model doesn’t succeed without top class apps.
Re-read it. I did not say that AI expertise by itself was enough. And I did not say that nothing should happen.

I said that people whose expertise is in being experts on what others should do are going to not do a good job.

Let's take a concrete recent example.

http://time.com/5209144/google-search-engine-algorithm-bias-... decries how Google search results are racist and are biased against black girls. It is written by someone whose background is clearly not machine learning, but who qualifies as an expert in the ethics of machine learning. She has a PhD, tenure at a well-regarded university, and a book on the subject.

While her article complains about the results of machine learning algorithms, and how horrible they are, she said nothing that showed an understanding of how they actually work. Why they produce the results that they do. Her diagnosis is that Google is a racist and sexist company. Her proposed solution is that Silicon Valley companies should be forced to hire blacks, and particularly black women, for the express purpose of keeping companies accountable for their racist environments.

The truth is that Google's internal environment is neither racist nor sexist - quite the opposite in fact. The actual problem is in the data available to Google of what people click on. How you can modify the algorithm to be slanted towards socially acceptable results is a tricky problem that requires a CS background. How you can modify the incentives so that companies are motivated to produce good results is an even more tricky problem.

Yet if she got to create the regulations, what would happen? We would literally get a requirement to hire politically correct thought police!

How well do you think that would work?
So here's a fun note - as it turns out, the Panera Bread Director of Information Security mentioned in that email exchange worked at Equifax from 2009 to 2013. There's a comment mentioning it on that page, but you can find it just by looking at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-gustavison-b020426/

Time is a flat circle. Everything that has happened before will happen again. Every time it happens, we will hear "Security is our top priority" or "We take security very seriously."

The fact that you or I don't value an asset doesn't mean that that's asset value must therefore be zero.

I wouldn't pay 5 million dollars for Michal Jackson's glove, but some people did. That in itself makes it more valuable that let's say it's cost of manufacture. And it's valuation is rational, but in a more complicated kind of rationality than the simple ones presented in economics 101 books.

I think you are a person which believes that this is a correct approach:

"He reminded me to re-watch the onstage interview from just months before that he did with me and Walt Mossberg. Walt asked him about privacy and referenced Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who was also in the room listening.

"Privacy means people know what they're signing up for - in plain English, and repeatedly," said Jobs in that interview, which you can see below, aiming at the young techie and advertising-based businesses like Facebook."

> I'm not sure what's you point here.

My point is that Mr. Trump is not talking about the double irish with a dutch sandwich loophole. He never has, and probably never will. Mr. Trump had an opportunity to fix it in last year's tax overhaul. But he turned a blind eye to the well known tax issue.

Therefore, your earlier statement:

> We all know how the big tech companies pay basically zero tax by elaborate international tax reduction schemes.

is... well... I agree with it. Companies shouldn't be abusing the double irish with a dutch sandwich loophole. But our President is ignoring the issue. And therefore, neither you nor I can do anything about it.
I've never heard it expressed this way, but GDPR is essentially a tax on collecting data. Not in a revenue generating way, but definitely in a "discouraging behavior" way. It increases costs for companies to collect and store user data.

I'm not a fan of "big government" in principle, but one of the things I've been feeling lately is that it's pretty clear we need something big enough to push against increasingly giant mega-corporations, something whose primary goal is the welfare of the populace, and not some profit motive.

A client of mine was pulling his hair out the other day over GDPR compliance and its demands on his small business. The business doesn't actually depend on customer data at all; they just... have some of it, I guess. Sure sounds like a liability to me.
> But our President is ignoring the issue. And therefore, neither you nor I can do anything about it.

Actually we could do something about it. People don't want to buy from companies which use child labour or which destroy the environment.

Thus you have all tech companies painting themselves as green as possible.

We are already seeing a trend in people demanding that companies support the "local economy". I think it's just a matter of time until they will demand for them to also pay "local taxes".

Kong Inc. - San Francisco - Fulltime - https://konghq.com/jobs/

SeriesB stage: A16Z, Index Ventures, Jeff Bezos, CRV, NEA.

Kong Inc., the microservices API company. We’ve built one of the most popular pieces of open source software in the world (Kong API Gateway) and grown a large and active developer community. We’re looking for a few great people who want to be part of a fun, highly-collaborative team.
It's countries filled with uneducated people who don't understand how to evaluate information that are vulnerable to this kind of propaganda. I think a more fundamental long-term solution is to fix the education and critical thinking problem. After you've done that, you can allow free speech, and democracy for that matter. By default, people aren't competent to safely handle free information because they're so easily manipulated into violence.

For example, see every war ever. In any war, both sides believe they're right, but they can't both be right, so one or more is always wrong. They just can't see it because they can't process information safely.
Let's see how long this post lasts before it gets flag-killed like its Israel-critical predecessors.

Bear in mind a lot of the unemployment numbers are hilariously fake. Way too much is exempted, and for the last several administrations of both parties, this talking point is not reflected in people's lived experience.

Bear in mind that what's considered 'employment' is far from what people called employment in the fifties. This does not translate into people attaining self-sufficiency.
Just an anecdote- my postal carrier is a contractor for the USPS. She is terminating her contract early because the USPS has tripled the number of packages she has to deliver with no increase in pay.

My neighbors are all up in arms over this. They blame Amazon entirely for this woman’s troubles. On our FB group they’re talking about boycotting Amazon entirely.

Personally, I think both the USPS and the carrier negotiated their contracts poorly.

> Your "sorta-answer" suggests "yes", but the title "How to easily Detect Objects with Deep Learning on Raspberry Pi" suggests that your answer should be "no".

How am I suggesting "yes"? And how the title is suggesting answer as "no"? There are pros and cons of both methods. If you are doing inference on a remote place with no access to internet, off-device is out of question. We are just trying to give a complete landscape so that if someone has a use case and trying to come up with solution, it might be helpful. Depending on use case, can pick on-device or off-device.
