I work for one of these publishers doing all of the nothing you're complaining about, so to clarify: how do you suppose we determine who reviews which paper? How do we convince them to actually write the review? How do we know the review is any good? Also, we do typeset and improve prose quality, not sure what those other slackers are doing...
I avoid installing apps for most sites, but I kind of remember in the early days, anyway, people were just sneaking a Web view in there for most of the functionality in many apps.

> isn’t h1b a visa to allow you to work in the US?

Yes, and the professional services companies (the body shops I was referring to above) need people on-site in the US. They act as the bridge between the client and offshore workers.

During the outsourcing craze it was incredibly common to bring over a team from India, spend 6-12 months training them up, and then lay off the American workers.
Only a generation ago smoking was still allowed at many high schools. It was at mine (1980s). There was a designated outdoor smoking area for the kids that smoked.
not that i think this is a good idea by any stretch, but i know some of my friends and i (outside the US) thought that one good that might come out of is that maybe now politicians and people alike see how totally broken everything about their elections and political system is and shake things up? so far, that’s not the result; there’s been a light shon on many of the failings (electoral college) and 0 change

it’s possible that people just wanted ANYTHING other than the political crap fest that was the whole cycle that world politics is stuck in, and trump was a way to shake things up and help change things in ~10years

that i can empathise with
That same argument extends to the users of Homebrew who are overflowing with cash from startup get-rich moments: please consider funding (if you have $1/mo or more to spare) the Homebrew patreon, which currently lists a total of 285 paying users out of the million developers that depend on it to earn a paycheck every month.

that's because apple is fixed on choosing the intel parts with the least tdp power they can get away with. it's their choice to make the mbp slow, up and including the numerous thermal issues that force the cpu out of the nominal turbo mode for the longer workloads
BigPipe, Spark, Skinny and Vodafone don't believe in peering and thus don't peer with Cloudflare at APE. If you wanted the best performance then 2degrees, Orcon, Voyager or Slingshot are the best for this since they peer.

Care3 | Los Angeles, CA | Fullstack Engineer | Full-time, Onsite | care3.co/careers.php

Care3 started with the realization that the most vulnerable members of our society including seniors, people of color, and the disabled do not have equal access to healthcare and receive inadequate quality of care in their homes and communities. Care3 is built to fix these unacceptable and unnecessary disparities.

We've created a platform for collaboration that allows caregivers and care teams to coordinate care for the patient. We're looking to grow our engineering team to continue building out our mission!

Care3 is looking for talented people who are okay with not knowing how to solve a problem and figure it out anyways. We provide the environment to allow you to learn and make mistakes, learn from each member of the team, and for you take ownership of our stack. The impact of your contributions will be immediate and we're excited to speak with you.

Apply by sending your resume to careers@care3.co, thanks!
The problem with this idea is that it ignores the suffering of others. Not to say that we should all invest our entirety into helping others, but this sort of thinking puts those interested in helping others into a weird exclusionary position. In other words, never forgot about those who choose to "throw their body on the gears".
Instagram suddenly chokes off developers as Facebook chases privacy
We’re on a mission to create the best place for engineers to figure out how to piece together their tech stack. Our vision is to transform the way that all SaaS tools and infrastructure are bought and sold.
Open roles:

- Front-End Engineer (React + Rails) - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/186787-front-end-react-soft....

- Back-End Engineer - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/186795-software-engineer-ba....

- Developer Evangelist - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/86973-developer-evangelist

We're a hybrid-remote team of 10 that recently closed our Series A and we're growing very quickly, especially here in SF. Our Stack: Ruby/Rails/React/Redux/PostgreSQL https://stackshare.io/stackshare. https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/09/developer-social-network-s....

How we work:

Every engineer owns and is responsible for the products they build (e.g. Stack News). Before writing any code, the engineer tagged to the product writes a blog post announcing it to the StackShare community. From there, they spec out the product in detail and get feedback from at least one other engineer. Once the initial version of the product is built they ship it to a small group of beta testers, gather feedback, and iterate. Once the product has shipped to production, this engineer is then responsible for monitoring the metrics that matter for this product and iterating to improve it. Since we're building a product for engineers, we believe in letting our engineers work on things that interest them and giving them ownership over these products.

Interview process:

> A broad market sell-off hit Wall Street on Monday, ...as a recent blitz of bad news about technology companies and festering worries about a trade war between the United States and China

Indeed the media blitz against US tech companies has been well coordinated. Somebody is running a very effective campaign.
There are a lot of negative comments here about the piece, and I’m not going to disagree with anyone’s musical tastes. I will however caution you not to dismiss the composer based on this work alone. A fair amount of his work is as sparse as this, and some of what is not can still be pretty inaccessible especially if you’re expecting to hear something more traditional.

One piece of Steve Reich’s in particular though grabbed me when I first heard it 15 years ago, and I don’t think it will ever let go: Music for 18 Musicians. An acquaintance lent me the disc and said he thought I might like it. I put on my headphones and hit play, and after a short period of acclimation was blissfully lost for the next hour. Despite feeling ambivalent about a lot of minimalism, 18 is my favorite piece of music, hands down.

Take the musical ideas behind Four Organs (steady pulses, phase shifting, slow evolution, others) and then replace the rigorous organs with singers and players of instruments with widely varying textures (strings, pianos, clarinets, marimbas). Give the whole thing a rich harmonic structure. Divide it into sections with melodies that expand and collapse, or build up in surprising ways. Make it cathartic and uplifting and human.

It’s still not for everyone, but adventurous listeners should give it a try when you have an hour or so to spare. Don’t commit to the whole piece necessarily—the full hour is just in case it catches hold of you—but do commit to listening past the “Pulses” section. That’s just the intro, and what sounds at first like a frantic hammering quickly mutates into a framework to hang the larger, wavelike movements on. It really starts to kick in around the 15 minute mark, when Section 3B begins.

There used to be several good recordings of it on YouTube that have all since disappeared, which is a shame because it raises the barrier for entry; I would have loved to link one here. It’ll really take you for a ride though, if you let it.
The NHTSA faulted Tesla for the last fatal crash and its likely they will get faulted for the current. I am just shocked that after this one that they haven't suspended its use. The level of chutzpah this company operates at is very dangerous to its future but the public as well.

The production issues are a whole different can of worms but the autonomous driving accidents are what the public sees.

People need to understand that Tesla is not the only company that can deliver self driving hardware nor are they the only manufacturer of EVs. They are currently the maker of the more desired EV but with some of the old school automakers joining the fray they will see their high end model profit vanish.

finally, I am still not convinced they ever plan to actually sell a base model.

I don't think that's true. If you were constrained in how you use user data, you could make money in other, more difficult ways.

Monetize photo services, music, sell access to the audience for applications or monetize the marketplace.

Pillaging users is easy. But if regulators prevented it, Facebook is still a viable business -- maybe even a better one.

I can only imagine how much experience and knowledge Elon is gaining by micromanaging (a good thing) this much, compared to say how much the top executive at other vehicle manufacturers have evolved to become.

Edit: Downvotes on this comment? Really? What, do you think you're able to imagine the amount of experience he's getting? Do you think the top execs at other manufacturers have the same experience and hands-on approach?
…or you design your own ARM CPU that handles unaligned memory accesses fine, and run your emulator on that hardware.
You're being downvoted because this is not the narrative the typical HNer wants to believe - but you are absolutely correct. And the public somehow realizing the inherent perils of collecting personal data is not why the stock market has been on a downward trend. It's trade war fears, professionals taking profits, and panicky concerns that we've reached the top of the market or peak of the economic cycle and the inevitable downturn is now upon us.
>Someone who can comfortably inhale 3mg/ml of nic might get slightly nauseous and uncomfortable even at 6mg/ml, definitely at 9mg/ml

That only makes sense if there's a standardized inhalation size, which there isn't. I've seen people using vaporizers specially designed to make huge clouds, and they're obviously using low concentration. If they used a stronger concentration they could get the same effect with a smaller inhalation size.
The quote seems to imply that it was a single group of people that were inflaming tensions in both other groups. That's a lot more nefarious than people with ethnic grudges.

Dooly - Vancouver, BC, Canada We're building a note taking app for sales folks. Take notes in Dooly, we update Salesforce for you, and we surface information in the moment to help close deals.
Check out our website: https://www.dooly.ai

CRM is broken. You pay a lot of money for the software, then you hire an administrator, and then no one puts the data in because it's not helping them do what they were hired for: to sell. We're on a mission to fix that.

We've spent the last year building a foundation and obsessing on early customers.. we're now seeing the fruits of that. Our customers tell us that they love and couldn't live without Dooly, including some well-known valley brands that we're excited to have using. New deals are coming in on an almost weekly basis. Now we're ramping up to deliver knowledge in the moment and help our customers be the smartest people in their meetings.

We're a small, super-passionate team and we're looking to bring onboard another well-rounded engineer. Our stack is es6/react/redux on the frontend and rails on the backend.

Everyone here is passionate about design and bringing consumer-grade product to the enterprise.

Send me an email if you're in Vancouver or if anything caught your attention!

> What stocks will Warren Buffet be looking to buy once the fear sets in?

Whatever's a good deal when the prices drop low enough.

> How does one evaluate value the way he does?

It's not difficult, he and Munger consistently refer to a handful of books and themes and repeat them over and over.

They do have advantages that you and I don't, however.

First: they have a captive source of cheap cash in their insurance businesses. They are run strictly for underwriting profit, meaning there is always cheap float on hand to invest.

Second: they don't participate in the open market a lot of the time. A lot of the B-H stable is composed of successful private businesses who sold directly, rather than being purchased via the share market. Buffet & Menger can more or less let the deals-of-a-century come to them.

Third: if there's nothing good to buy, they don't. They accumulate cash and near-cash assets. This means that when the market tanks, they are one of the few groups with cash on hand to snap up bargains. This happened in a big way during 2007 and 2008.
> what's missing from a modern Linux desktop

Networking, printer stuff, graphics stuff that works immediately after installation, without one having to search for various problems & fixes on the Internet. And that doesn't randomly break after kernel upgrades.

Because of running into networking & graphics driver problems every now and then (and having to revert to older kernel versions), and problems with printers & drivers, I feel I would never never never recommend Linux to people, unless they enjoy troubleshooting things and learning new stuff.
It's not a developer-centric OS and it's not supposed to be. But, that doesn't change the fact that a lot of developers prefer it over other OSs. I prefer because it has been more reliable for me than Windows. It's not right for everyone though and I completely understand anyone who prefers Windows or Linux.

There's certainly an unmet demand for investments that yield 1000-fold overnight. People want to invest a few hundred or a couple thousand dollars and be multi-millionaires by Christmas. They don't want to put tends of thousands of dollars into an aggressive portfolio to maybe break a million in 2045.
> Neither you nor I determine the course of the national discourse. Only Mr. Trump has the power of the bully pulpit

I'm not sure what's you point here. This is what the US president does (unlike other countries) - has a lot of power to directly intervene in many places. This is what voters expect from him, and this is the issue on his mind.

Amazon is not the only one abusing the USPS. Chinese companies like AliExpress do the same thing all over the world, taking advantage of national post services to ship a 50 penny screw free from China to UK for example.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/storyline/wp/2014/09/12/...
Why aren't you convinced they ever plan to sell a base model? They've been very clear when in their production schedule they would ship the base model. It makes sense to get the production nailed down with all possible options then scale back for basic models then to start basic and go through production pains making more complex models.
There is no genuine moral outrage here, anybody with half a brain knows that Facebook is no more to blame for this genocide than the printing press was to blame for the holocaust. Governmental institutions are currently making a concerted effort to falsely blame social media for society's woes in an attempt to rally support for state regulation and control of social media platforms.

I personally hate close fences with no rooms for customization, and many computer scientists are on the same wavelength.

Windows is an awful choice for software development, a job that usually requires a lot of interaction with Unix servers. Microsoft's recent crush for Linux and open source can't fix many years of closed standards, closed protocols, and Embrace-Extend-Exterminate evil culture.

And MacOS, even though it's still loosely based on a Unix *BSD flavor, still falls into the "closed fence" category - brew is nice but can't be compared with the maturity of the package managers on any Linux distro, you can't just recompile or update the kernel on the fly to get support for a new device, and OS internals are purposely obscure to developers. Paying all that money for such a closed box, if you're anything more than an average users, is simply a waste of money.

Linux distros are by far the best environment for a computer scientists - made by developers, for developers - but there's no major vendor that sells machines with Linux pre-installed and supported, and getting Linux installed on the newest Surface or Dell toy is often a challenge that gets many frustrated.

There's definitely a huge gap in the market, and as a computer scientist I feel that none of the major vendors cares to provide me with a solid machine to do my work.
Bitcoin is only 'potentially anonymous' and then only if both you and anyone you ever trade value with has PERFECT OpSec. The public ledger aspect means that as soon as the identity of anyone in the chain is pinned it is merely a question of how much effort is desired to track down who that value was sent to / from.

I'm not against those as features of a platform, I'm just realistic about Bitcoin /NOT/ being anonymous.

What I am against is the perversion of proof of work from something that is optimal on a /generic/ computing platform to something that is dominated by ASICs and 'entry level' on GPUs. Speculation related to bitcoin has caused so much wasted power and driven up the cost of hardware that could otherwise be far more economical for it's intended uses. At least if the work had been based around CPUs we'd be seeing /that/ market scale up which I believe both has more capacity to scale up and would also be more beneficial to the long term results. (It would be much nicer if the 'work' were mixture of proofing the ledger AND something actually scientifically useful, examples including the old protein folding, SETI, and prime number searching projects.)
I think the theory is it's easier to get into rows on social media and harder to back down. Without the context I'd say it sounds plausible, but since it's from Plod it would be surprising if it were true.
Windows is still a mess... inconsistent interface, multiple ways to configure the same thing, the registry.....

I know it's not the same market circumstances but this feels alot like the decision to stop development of ie6 after Microsoft beat Netscape.
I have no interest or involvment in Tesla. But from an outsider's perspective I can't help but notice that when you're this little company with no chance of making it, the press is very bulish about your company.

As soon as you become large, they look up at you and can't wait to see you fall, overly negative.

Who thought making cars was difficult? And mass production? And electrical cars, pushing the boundaries or batteries.

The light are still on in the factory, so the company's doing well.
