I know its easy to joke about but this happens at all levels. While the outcome here did not end up as a bad story it might have been. While the number here is phenomenal its usually the small numbers that we don't hear about that cause a lot of harm. Any dealings where money is involved over trivial amounts needs a series of checks and balances. You would be surprised at how many professional and hobbyist organizations don't have them. Then again you may already be nodding your head having read a story where money was embezzled from a charity or the like.

I do know of a certain pure breed canine group which is out 10k or more because the treasurer did not verify the received email was from the group President and paid an invoice which obviously was not a real invoice. If you are part of a club or non profit always verify your officers claims to licenses and experience. then still put in the checks and balances, three people minimum to pay non trivial and more for extra ordinary values. if they don't agree its probably not a good place to be
Oh the irony in releasing a service that depends on cryptography..
Currently, yes. Elsewhere in this thread the author mentioned they do think of making it open source from time to time.

And looking beyond the current example, there are multiple things called home known by millions of people (the English word and the Google product, and I'm sure there must be more).
They say that OpenAI are forced to disclose the salaries. Does anyone have a link to the source, to the document with the disclosed salaries? I'd be curious to see the range.
I agree the docs are obtuse, and implementing features is hard, but document state is not saved as markdown. The whole point of PM is to separate content from prsentation.
Also:

- "cd -" has no interaction with the pushd/popd stack except in the sense that it alters the top of the stack (the current working dir). It doesn't swap the two top entries of the directory stack, but swaps the top with an off-stack saved location ($OLDPWD).

- "pushd" with no arguments swaps the top two stack entries.
The biggest challenge yet unconquered is getting your "average" business ($1-100m revenue, zero AI knowledge) using ML to help with literally anything they do.

I'd wager less than 1% of businesses outside of SV even have a clue where to begin, or what to use it for, my employer included. "Do we hire some AI guys?"

We'll need to crack the 1%-using-it mark for me to consider the revolution "begun"...

However, one Ikea product, the formidable “Liatorp” storage unit, which stands at 7-feet tall, has been dubbed “the divorce maker” by one marriage counselor who says the product’s 32-page instruction manual and 169 screws are enough to test even the most solid relationship.
I have a slightly irrational fear that companies that spend a ton of energy outwardly talking about their culture are the ones with the most insufferable culture.

My hypothesis is that these companies are overly obsessed with defining a “mold” of the type of person that belongs at the company, and if you slightly deviate from that mold then you’re disproportionately punished for it.
Some occupations such as football players or C-level executives make tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.

I am not surprised that an AI researcher can make that much.

Consider the AI researchers behind the optical recognition systems for handwritten text used in ATMs. Now you can massively deploy ATMs that read checks 24/7 without supervision... Paying $1m 2018 dollars to those guys is not a proportional compensation with respect to the amount of wealth they brought in.
That’s correct, but the pragmatic reality of most companies and data science with respect to internal politics and other bullshit is that they’re not going to find that mobility even if they network internally

I have a question, how would my Grandma signal her identity to SSB from multiple devices? Say she has an iPhone and an iPad and she wants to use the iPad at home and the iPhone when she's out. I imagine it's not as simple as installing the app on both devices in this case? I'm curious how this is approached.

Cycle.js and xstream are amazing, as an aside. Thank you.
It's not quite that direct. Many aicraft use flaps to boost lift during descent (better low-speed control) and steepen the fuselage pitch relative to the direction of flight (better visibility of the ground). Putting that energy into the propeller doesn't help with either of those. Also, some of the speed brakes are deployed so that the engine can stay warm by producing power instead of being "shock cooled". Otherwise stress builds in the engine and results in the engine wearing out earlier than it otherwise would if it were consistently cooled slowly. So this also doesn't directly translate; the pilot of the electric plane simply pulls back all the power and is coasting, which for many airplanes (not gliders!) results in a satisfactory sink rate and no need for additional braking. The pilot could engage more braking, but then the sink rate would be "emergency" class.
I think decentralisation is the wrong way to look at it. The protocol itself becomes the point of centralisation with many providers implementing in federation. Nothing to stop any of them being commercial (they may have all kinds of ease of use and features on top) or not. Since you lose the network effect of bigger player owning 'footfall' (e.g. ebay), there should be less natural tendency for monopoly and greater incentive towards user needs. For example, a more privacy conscious provider may choose to only share limited data with the wider federation. Others may be all about the exposure and getting more followers. (I'd expect federation to allow users a way to export their full profile+history and migrate to another provider taking their data away with them.)

Hi, thanks for the question about rollups. Timescale indeed enables you to do rollups, much like the functionality you describe. (Right now these are scheduled via a crontab, but in-DB scheduling is in the works.)

But unlike InfluxDB (at least what we've been told by users), the important thing about TimescaleDB's rollups is that they correctly handle late data. So if you are performing a rollup every 10 minutes, but the data corresponding to 9:58 actually arrives at 10:05, it's easy to ensure that you subsequently reperform the rollup and "correct" that previous answer. This happens because we correctly support UPSERTS: http://docs.timescale.com/v0.9/using-timescaledb/writing-dat...

You can also read more about one of our user's experience with rollups (compared to via Influx) in their recent blog post: https://blog.dnsfilter.com/3-billion-time-series-data-points...

As to that feature request in the github issue, it's actually asking for a much subtler and more powerful functionality. In particular, it wants the "rollup" to be hidden from the user, such that they don't worry about querying the raw vs. rollup table, and just see a single table view across multiple different levels of aggregation. Further, the planner would be smart enough which one to choose based on the time aggregation being asked for, as well as transparently merge data across different aggregation levels.

This functionality is definitely on top of mind, but my understanding is that Influx doesn't support anything like this as well: If you have a rollup table there (say, to 10 minutes), you need to explicitly ask for data from the 10min rollup table, and you don't see any data that has been written in the last 10 minutes. TimescaleDB similarly supports this today.
Reeeeeeeally depends. In my experience, most people who would do the early interviews/ determine candidacy for an interview probably don't have the time or desire to check out bespoke websites or other "deviations". The look at a summary of the position applied for and a summary of the qualifications and determine to go forward with an interview. In all likelihood, your interviewer probably won't look at your website either. But it's a good talking point, and if the interview is anywhere other than one FaGooNetZon etc, then being able to talk about it in an interview might win you points. So it wouldn't say it is _bad_, just that it will probably be ignored 80% of the time.
Looks a lot like a Cirrus SR20. But I imagine that for aerodynamics and efficiency reasons, 2 to 4-seat sized, fixed gear, low wing, light aircraft will generally converge on a similar design approach.
Of course, the software bug was found pretty quickly and the release rolled back.

The funniest part of this story is the next monthly software release accidentally reinstalled the old buggy code, not the new release. So the incorrect payments happened again!

I started using it a few weeks ago, and finding it really useful. It has made to the front page of my iPhone! Good work.
To be fair, In my (admittedly limited) experience contracting at BigCorp - the IT department's procedures are often a bottleneck in a workflow or solutions.

We all know they are following business procedure, but there will always be some unconcious tension with departments that hinder a solution (I see marketing and legal butt heads all day).
Whoa, there is too much going on here, I don't even know how to start. Is this like Heroku, but with the database built-in?

[EDIT]: I had previously written "Postgres" instead of "Heroku" above.
> I love a great contextual joke, but not in the wrong place.

The joke brings to light the quite real and currently newsworthy situation resulting from the attitude expressed above.

These are things that need to be talked about, here is the right place to talk about them, and humor is often an effective way to highlight hypocrisy and abuse.
Maybe if you're applying for a bank or it doesn't fit the role.

I was trying to get a support engineer role that would have had me demoing to clients, so I whiteboard-animated and filmed my pitch for why I was a perfect fit for the company. It went over.
I'm not sure you can get offshore work done for so little. Maybe that was possible up to a decade ago.
Oh I don't doubt OpenAI is more likely to produce useful research if can keep hold of staff. Mostly I was reminded of the people in the HN thread [1] at the time suggesting it didn't pay well, when actually it's picking up elite researchers on elite salaries and hoping something will come of it.

Monty is also the CTO of the MariaDB Corporation, which is a VC-funded entity. I would fully expect him to sing MariaDB's praises in a podcast.

Large companies have come to a different conclusion, at least so far. Among companies with very large database fleets, there's much greater usage of MySQL and Percona Server than MariaDB.

Granted, Linux distributions have leaned more towards shipping MariaDB by default instead of MySQL. This makes sense given that Oracle is, well, Oracle.
> Turning developers into production line workers is precisely what needs to happen

I actually agree with this sentiment, although many others to hate on you on this thread.

And it will happen, just like what happened to labor workers who used to make a good living working for Ford at production line. You can already see plenty of evidence when you see how all developers are forced to use package managers and follow "coding guidelines", and so forth. These efforts will all lead to a more and more structured way of building things, which then can be replaced by machines.

And these naive and passive programmers who thought they were set for life by taking a coding bootcamp and getting a programming job will suddenly find that it's not as lucrative anymore.

The point I was trying to make was: Don't be these people who live a passive life and do what others say, thinking just because programmers make a lot of money, all you gotta do is "become a good programmer" and you'll be set for life. You should have a meaning in life. Otherwise you'll find yourself in the similar situation as these Ford production line workers.

I went to UVA and I think about half of the engineering school was from TJ (including 3 of my roommates). :) I can't think of any superior public high school (and I went to a different Governor's School in Virginia myself) anywhere, due to the amazingly large and deep talent pool TJ pulls from. Nothing like it exists in the Bay Area, that's for sure!
You can write single page applications that are fully aria aware, and we do. In fact we're legally required to, and our pages are audited before they're ever released to the public including for assistive technologies. Screen readers support JavaScript, and have for at least the last ten years.

As to users choosing to run without JavaScript? We simply don't support it. We support IE8 and above. You cannot even get to our site using Windows XP due to errors in the TLS negotiation (to avoid SSL downgrade). If users choose to disable a core part of their browser that happens to be a core part of modern web standards, then they shouldn't be surprised when sites using that part no longer work.

He didn't say people can create value by themselves. I recommend you read the article more closely and truly understand what he's saying.

I would argue his argument is overly simplistic for two reasons:

* many of those who engage in nonremunerative work contribute just as much as those who have accumulated millions. Saying the 99% owe the 1% is just as much of an over-generalization as the reverse

* many institutions allow people to earn wealth from activity that is socially harmful, like politicians turned corporate lobbyists who earn millions getting subsidies and regulatory barriers to competition for their employers, or like public sector bureaucrats who sway public opinion in support of useless government work just to ensure their department budget continues to grow.

> Henry Ford didn't have an "exit strategy"

The several hundred other auto makers in Detroit did, they went bankrupt or sold out for peanuts right before going bankrupt.

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, Facebook, Cisco, Oracle, Intuit, Adobe, PayPal, nVidia, Intel, etc. don't have exit strategies either.

For the vast majority of businesses, you're either going bankrupt, or you're going to eventually sell as an exit. One in a million businesses turn into the next Ford scenario.
Sounds like a job for bash...

It's a big part of the written test, but gets pretty much a cursory glance come checkride time.

Examiners will likely ask about the FAA fuel minimums, but those are expressed in minutes of flight time, not gallons.

Also, the regulations tend to place a great deal of trust on pilot's judgement. According to FAA a person who just received his private pilot certificate in a Cessna 152 is eligible to fly a Pilatus with Airplane Single Engine Land PPC. Is it legal? Yes. Is it advisable one does so? No.
MongoDB is just a database with less features than a SQL database. An XML/XQuery database is fundamentally different, so I figured if FoundationDB layers are really so powerful, they might be able to model a tree DB as well.
It's all about location. Web is the west coast while finance is the east coast.
When we used to before, it only worked for people who joined a certain slack channel.

Besides, despite what the name will tell you, this isn’t some sort of powerful, all controlling AI enforcing coffee dates on everyone. It would be set up by a company that would want to use and and would either talk about it and/or have faced the “issues” with introverts.

It’s just a Slack bot. It takes humans to use it.
This is the answer that I would give. Over time, my development has shifted to modeling the domain first, including simple APIs that use those domain models well before I intend to write a table.

To answer the question as asked, I use pgadmin or the corresponding database management tool to update the database. My first actual migration is a stable version of the database.
I cannot imagine why you think that comic is relevant. Even if you think naasking is acting badly (they aren't), such a gripe doesn't even resemble a person in group X harassing someone about why they dislike group X.
Agreed. The name seems like an advertisement that you think everyone outside your company or community is less intelligent. IMO that crosses the line separating puffery / self-promotion from outright insult.

This covers probably the most important reasons to use MySQL over PostgreSQL:

https://eng.uber.com/mysql-migration/

The TL;DR is that PostgreSQL on-disk storage format leads to much higher IOPs for the same workload. For companies running OLTP at scale, the cost differences can be huge.
Huh, you seem to be describing Google fairly well...
> Our government can't keep up with private innovation. We've got a car company who can make a car that gets 120 MPG but the DOT won't let it through the red tape because their required emissions testing equipment isn't sensitive enough to read it's emissions. So you deny the car and tell the company to come back with a shittier one they can read.

...This is disproven by the mere existence of electric cars.

I had the same experience recently with first-time founders on HN "Who's Hiring?" (Fat Lama). They expected 4 rounds of interviews and a tech test. Delusional.
Sure, I was being conservative. Point being that $15/hr in the US is just basically a complete screw-job.
How I Made $0 Selling My Video Series
If you're capable of developing software, being offered $15/hr /even without any interview at all/ is just broken. This is not about the interview process, that's just an old fashioned screwjob. I'm really confused by your situation. What are your qualifications and seriously what kind of compensation are you receiving right now if you are employed? If you want to talk, email me at my username at gmail.

To put things into perspective, I made $30/hr 23 YEARS AGO as a summer intern (coding) in my hometown city's IT department. In an "inland" state. Not even at a monied startup. This was before the dotcom boom, and it was a "government job", which never pay as well as private work.
