Royal Circuits | Full-Stack Dev | Bay Area - Hollister, CA | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://www.RoyalCircuits.com

We're a printed circuit board manufacturer that specializes in quick turn prototype orders. We're one of Silicon Valley's best kept secrets – we manufacture printed circuit boards (PCB’s) for thousands of customers nation-wide, including engineers at some of the world's biggest tech companies. We’re building up a team of engineers at our internal startup, dubbed “Factory of the Future”, to completely revolutionize the electronics manufacturing industry.

We had an exciting reception to this ad last month, and are looking to bring on additional full-stack and front-end developers to round out our team to work on custom web-apps that enhance and streamline the PCB manufacturing process. You'll be involved in developing tools that get orders through production as seamlessly as possible, with the opportunity to drive interesting projects involving automation, data visualization, and machine/3rd party integration. These include developing 3rd party integrations for use with popular CAD and CAM packages, optimizing our factory processes to get real-time feedback to and from jobs on the floor, and offering real-time feedback on the manufacturability of a customer’s design the instant design files are uploaded.

Our stack is built around React, GraphQL, Python, Django, Postgres.

We're happy to offer excellent benefits and competitive salaries, flex hours, and the opportunity to work remotely. Our main office is in Hollister, CA, just south of San Jose. Love nature? We're conveniently near Pinnacles National Park, the country's newest national park.

If you’re interested in joining our team and genuinely changing the electronics manufacturing industry, send your resume to jobs@royalcircuits.com and we’ll get back to you right away!
IIRC this ad campaign wasn't a "trust only us" campaign; it was a direct response to the never-ending calls of "fake news" from the president and right-wing against CNN. In a world where the the president literally sends out his press secretary to lie on Day 1 about the size of his inauguration crowd, this is a reasonable (though I suspect utterly useless) response.
Isn't it first-to-file now?

I'm actually not that optimistic, but it seems like after nearly two decades of declines due to the internet, serious news outlets are getting more people to pay for online newspapers

https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/04/why-newspaper-subscription...

Maybe it will take another 10 years, but this gives me some hope that as consumers become more sophisticated (and jaded towards new trends), there's a chance society at large will be willing to pay real money to sidestep the worst side effects of ad-driven products.
> Companies that break the law should regularly never, ever recover financially.

Personally I would have this reworded to "Companies that regularly break the law should never, ever recover financially."

As much as I believe things are tilted too far in favor of companies these days, it is true that over-harsh regulation on business can be very bad — particularly when it becomes harder to start new businesses.

But I agree with your sentiment. To a large degree the government is as good as we make it.

Everything is connected so everyone must work together. In the spirit of all huamns being equal the final vision for humanity is countries economic output ranked the same as their population. (and no countries at all perhaps.)

The US is often the provoker of things due to a mix of over confidence and desire for the status quo. Given population differences this has historically only been due to technological and capital knowledge.

Connective technology both spread information/education and also lowers capital requirements meaning the US no longer has an advantage. In face it has many disadvantages culturally including a large sect of tradition it's and people who think trying hard is good enough.

The fallback argument is always around human rights or some other moral grandstanding but the history of the US proves otherwise. No country has perfectly clean hands but it feels like the US doesn't acknowledge this.

You and I would never agree on "racist policies". One mans border control is another mans racist, apparently.

I am curious about these "misogynistic policies" though. What policy is that, exactly? I suspect I'll be told about locker room talk he did in private, but maybe you have some actual misogynistic policies to share that his past history of hiring many women into executive positions belies.
I think most would agree - but come on, let's not go overboard. CNN has just as much a right to exist on the internet as anyone else.
Tried to read the claims and realized again that patents are unreadable to an engineer and completely useless for any useful advancement of the field.

Clearly, somebody was working on a mining chip design and took advantage of the patent incentives these companies offer employees to build a warchest. The lawyers then took the description they provided and turned into this steaming pile of technolegal jargon.
QNAME minimization just minimizes the name to one label under a delegation, there's no randomization. So root zone would only get 'com.' (and type NS). It's unfortunately easy for authoritative servers (below TLD level) to bypass it by returning NXDOMAIN. Resolver has to fall back on using a full name. The main reason is that a lot of authoritative DNS servers (notably Akamai) return NXDOMAIN when there's nothing under the minimized name, but there is something below it (aka empty non-terminal). So without workarounds the resolver would return NXDOMAIN early instead of retrying with the full name.
Naaah, I just don't tend to be politically correct, the downvotes (roughly the same amount for all my posts here) are probably from the guys doing the Rust PR here and some sound reasoning is not doing them any favor. :)

As I said, the amount of Rust posts here is disaproppriate to the amount of languages that are available and as Rust is not really much different to what you can do with c++ (just stop using pointers and you are there...), it just feels strange. Somehow it reminds me to the Cambridge Analytica case, a small amount of people (bots) manipulating the public opinion. :)

But please, I am more then happy if you show me, I am wrong, what is so cool in Rust, that you can't pull with c++? And if you can't give a reasonable answer, why inventing a new language? Rather write it as a new conding standard. Or create new stl with your new paradigm. Or completely reinvent the types using a new library/headers. Why bother wasting time and reinventing what already works (profit? ;) ), and it works great (you can use it as an former VBA developer or as a guru, same language, different skill set, different features used).
>It would be quicker to just look at the US, where protectionism has resulted in it becoming an economic superpower.

This is laughably false. The postwar US hegemonic sphere is built on trade liberalization. Please read up on GATT, the WTO, OECD, and the 1934 Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act.

Prewar, the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act[4] is widely viewed as one of the worst economic decisions ever made, badly exacerbating the Great Depression by collapsing global trade. The US has been the world's main driver of trade liberalization since that protectionist mistake was reversed in 1934, for the entire duration of its superpower status.

> I know many people economize on memory

Most just don't have a choice. Plenty of laptop models top out at 8GB,with 16GB either being confined to larger form-factor machines, or being so outrageously expensive that no-one in their right mind would bother.

I mean, look at the current line of macbook pros, you simply can't get 16GB without going up to the 15-inch model.
It's kind of sad to see a potentially important discussion here devolve into a: off-topic threads about policy (DACA), or partisan trolling about #fakenews to derail the subject away from Sinclair.

That said, something I'm curious about... how many people still get their news primarily from local tv broadcast in this day and age? And what are the age ranges of those people? Lacking any actual data, I'd suggest by complete conjecture that it's not that many, and they skew much older than the general population. I'd be surprised if anyone under the age of 30 watches local tv news regularly at all.

I know that personally, I watch so little local news that when I do, the cognitive dissonance is kind of jarring. And when do I watch it? Mostly, when visiting my Baby Boomer in-laws...

> World Changing

The world has changed because of cryptocoins. It's empowered criminals but it's also become a way to get around price controls (e.g. The adoption in Cyprus). Not always for the better but certainly it has caused change.

There are a lot of people who don't know what they are doing in this space but that is to be expected from any new technology with mass adoption. Very few people even in established industries have the whole picture - yet they are able to operate in their niche.
Having rented a number of cars recently I can attest that this is an industry that is in major need of disruption. Renting a car today at any car rental company I know of is phenomenally inefficient:

1. Long rental lines at airports.
2. Asking for information that could be provided ahead of time via apps.
3. Having to make your way to the car rental facility.

What I would like and I would be willing to pay a premium for is order the car of my choice via an app. Have said car delivered to my location by a driver that then takes Lyft/Uber back to headquarters. Also it seems like the car rental companies could benefit from economies of scale by having a small number of large lots instead of numerous little lots peppered throughout a geographic area. If this existed, I would use it all the time as I only need occasional use of a car.
> Tell that to any classical orchestra.

Sure. Playing Beethoven doesn't make you Beethoven. A song is more than the sounds it takes to make it. It's nice to hear played but it doesn't mean the performers could have written it. And even if they could it doesn't mean they did.

> Kids will sometimes fling pant on canvas as fun, but it's not art.

I disagree. Or do parents not sometimes hang this on their fridge. I'm not saying you have to call it good art.

For a more exaggerated example, I can type the entirety of any great book. Or even handwrite it in pen if we want to be picky because maybe computers didn't exist at the time it was written. Does that make it as much of an achievement as the original writing of it? Is that art?

>as soon as they stop speaking, every new station cuts to a group of pundits to tell you how you should interpret what the president just said. It's not journalism at all

I disagree entirely. That is the essence of journalism. Not to tell you what to think, but to provide context that helps interpret.

For example, reporting that people at a Trump rally were shouting "Lugenpresse" is one thing. Providing the historical context that such language was used by the Nazi's as a pretext for cracking down on the free press and on Jews is another. Just hearing the first may make you aware of a fact, but the second tells you the truth.
I wouldn’t read too much into this. Intel have very generous employee “patent creation” bonuses that encourage them to constantly file patents, ca. $2500 per patent IIRC.

That being said, it’s still interesting seeing Intel encouraging and embracing crypto ASIC design.

That KB entry is misleading: Steam works on most distros (at least all the ones that I've tried) because it includes its own runtime (glibc etc.) and thus avoids most of the idiosyncrasies of distros.

A big problem with that is the history of the musical acts themselves. People have come to expect massive productions with fireworks and laser lights and literally tons of equipment and the people to set it up and everything to go off without a hitch... and not only that, it has to be priced so everyone who has ever listened to that artist's music can afford to go. Like you mentioned, the price of a ticket isn't anywhere near the cost of the production, so they tack on fees to make the ticket price look more reasonable (until you've already committed to buying it). Same thing cut-rate airlines do. It's not cheaper, it just looks like it is. They have to lie to you in order to get you to buy it.

I know music is a personal choice and I can't decide for anyone else, but over the years I've come to prefer smaller venues or more local acts because every big artist in a big venue is a big production and it stresses me out just thinking about it. The bands playing at my local brewery are just as good and I can get a front-row seat for the price of the beer I'm drinking. I actually saw a big-name star do a pop-up show at a local pub and there were only about 100 people there and it was just such a real experience. It's hard to justify the price for bigger venues.
They're not free to report news without bias

You're taking this out of context. You come to know your local news reporters, learn their biases, and they build some kind of trust with them. You might even see them at events or having a meal with their family and have a personal relationship with them. As stated a few times in this thread, Sinclair bought this trust & is violating it.

they're supposed to be neutral and report facts

It's not naive to think this. News shows and publications generally have a clear divider between "reporting" and {"opinion"|"editorial"|"analysis"}. I'd also like to think most people can tell the difference, regardless, between and opinion, "immigrants are good for the country" and declarative statements, "Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any President before him".

Now, if the guy behind the desk on your 11 O'Clock news incorrectly reports that the the head of the local hospital personally leads a "death panel" that decides if your grandmother gets to live, you can easily march down there and sort it out yourself, hell you might even know the head of that hospital and know right off that this is factually false. Soon, you won't trust this lie peddling news outlet again, and they'll have to make some sort of change.

Of course, there are organizations out there that lie when making declarative statements, like the "death panel" example above, but those are generally on the national/Internet level, because someone in Jacksonville, FL can't reasonably verify a story about what's happening across the country or in DC like they can with a story about the Jaguars, so there's always some shadow of doubt...

The key here truly lies in buying up local news outlets.
>If Microsoft implemented proper security policies, I imagine that guy didn't have access to all of Microsoft's user data.

This is precisely the sort of thing Microsoft takes incredibly seriously internally. Tim Cook may be a more vocal spokesman for treating user data with care but Microsoft is fanatical about it internally. They recognize the risk they face in the event of compromise and have made just enough mistakes in the past to appreciate how hard it is to actually protect their customers’ information.

I am a roboticist, so I view this as an exercise in signal processing. A news agency is like a sensor, reporting that an event happened. We don't know what or how or when, so we use different signals and fuse them to arrive at a better understanding of "truth". The nice thing about sensor fusion, is even without external validation as to the truth, you can still approximate it with certainty using otherwise very noisy sources that may be biased one way or another. That's how I view watching the news.

It's scary that it doesn't surprise me anymore.

Especially social networks are considered most lucrative in terms of targeted marketing and data mining, and it's obvious why. Social networking remains a big deal, it's almost mandatory to have some social networking footprint online, or else you miss out on social life. Why is it still OK to trade data distilled from social media accounts? It's not! One of the many reasons and implications are in that article.

Is independent social media possible? How to fund basic service infrastructure if not by running online ads, or trading user data? Is decentralized social media feasible, and who maintains a decentralized service if it is?

EDIT: If an app developer wants to analyze how the app performs, why share most intimate user data with third parties, Facebook being one of them?
