Butternut Box | Front-End Engineer | White City, London, UK | ONSITE | Full time | £40k-£50k

Butternut Box makes the highest quality dog food and ships it directly to your door. At Butternut Box, we have two aims. Firstly, to help pets live healthier, happier and longer lives, and secondly to leave pet parents smiling on every interaction. We're looking for a Front-End Engineer to join our tech and product team to help craft the best experience for pet parents.

Our Front end stack is ES6, React, Redux and SASS for styling. You'll be working closely with myself and fellow engineers on all sorts of fun and interesting projects. If you love dogs, crafting user experiences and technology, you'll fit right in!

If you would like to learn more about the role, or have any questions, just drop me a line (niall at butternutbox.com)

Since there are legitimate use-cases where you need to be able to somehow identify requests coming from the same IP (protection against DDoS), you would be allowed to do it, given that you take reasonable steps to protect the user (such as deleting the logs after a few days when there's no suspicious activity).

And then hashing the IP addresses would be such a reasonable step, too, since it removes location information from the stored data.
This is a little like backups. If you don’t test restore, then the value of your backups is low.

If the project has bandwidth you should consider doing fire drills for your important scenarios. Push a major version, upgrade infrastructure, etc
Indeed. It strains reason to think that a company with cash reserves the size of Apple's wasn't at least exploring the possibility of making their own radios. Hiring a few experts on a moonshot project is cheap relative to the benefits if it pays off. It's likely Google has a similar group.

Whether they produce hardware or not is an open question though. High end RF efforts tend to fail a lot. I mean, for high end LTE we're already in a situation where there are only two serious vendors.
Let's stop coming up with stupid, stupid examples where you have spend more time thinking about how to troll than thinking how the GDPR applies.

Im skeptical of any study run by an insurance company.
> Microcode is the new low level language. ;-)

Except for RISC, that has mostly always been the case, when we look back at all those mainframes and their research papers.
I played a little bit with gpgpu on the raspberry pi.

I’d imagine it’s relativly primitive compared to whatever shaders are compiled to on modern GPUs, but it was humbling to have to manage things like separate, per core, disjoint register files which can only be read 4 cycles after write. The cores are heterogeneous, so there is special hardware for exchanging register reads between cores if necessary.
IIRC you can't charge at the same time as using the included one, and need to pay extra for the bulkier one that allows charging and use of a 3.5mm jack at the same time.

That is OK much of the time, but a faf is you want use your iDevice for music while working for some hours or while mobile for long enough that you might normally plug in a portable battery.

Unless they've started including the two function adaptor as standard but that will irritate people who don't want the extra bulk...
Or alternatively, github could rename this org since the owner is no longer in contact and then let the currently active group have the name.

Nobody is giving away the current org - github would just be vacating the old name so somebody else can have it.

This is bound to become a bigger issue in the future as more and more names get used then fall into disuse.
I think egress costs are the primary factor behind "cloud bill shock". Tracking and understanding them is a key to avoid surprises when you get your monthly invoice from cloud provider.
Funny, the compiler people I've worked with complain that Itanium tried to do too much in hardware, like the hw support for loop unrolling, which made superpipelining optimizations in existing compilers much more complicated.
Angie's List seems like ... a list. I have the option of picking which independent contractor on the list I want to hire. I pay them, I don't have my credit card number on file with Angie's List. And in common speech I will "get an Uber" or "get a Lyft" to go somewhere, but I won't "get an Angie's List" (or even any slightly similar phrasing) to do some work, I'll "find someone from Angie's List." I definitely have never said that I'll "find a car service on Uber".

So yeah, I agree that Angie's List is clear of B and Uber/Lyft much less obviously so.

I was missing references to the time zone chaos in Egypt, so I looked it up. Apparently that started shortly after the article, but the same author also wrote about that.

This, kids, is why GET requests should be idempotent.

Or, like, you know, how about a browser only sends a request when I'm actually fucking asking for something, and doesn't try to fetch everything I've ever thought about, with my every slightest accidental finger twitch against its touch screen?

What happened to deterministic user interaction?
The problem is that, like flames, they consume everything if you let them. Therefore we can't let them.

Hacker News is just one kind of website, not every kind. To survive, it needs to stay focused on its mandate, the gratification of intellectual curiosity (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). We've learned a lot over the years about what serves that spirit vs. what kills it. Comments like what you've been posting are among the most toxic to it. I'm sure there are many other places where they'd be fine, but here they're off topic, and encourage worse.

People frequently want to use HN for other things, such as political and ideological battle, but that would soon kill the site. Are those matters important? Yes they are. But does a forum dedicated to other, less important things, also have a right to exist? Yes it does.

In terms of the comment I replied to, you crossed into religious flamewar, national flamewar, and ideological battle, all of which are things we don't want here. For this kind of discussion, you need to find another website, or perhaps create one. There is room for many more communities online.
I think it's a good analogy because it's saying that nontrivial optimizations happen below the code layer.

In early CPUs, nothing was optimized. They just executed your instructions. Now there are nontrivial optimizations and rewriting, just like the JVM.
To put this in some scale, back in 2013 Randall Munroe estimated[[1] that Google had 10 exabytes on disk. That has to be significantly greater these days.

>I listed a set of contractual arrangements that are now illegal. All of them could be entered into completely consensually, and cannot be reduced to being categorically one sided, given we don't know what the value of the service the user gets in exchange for their personal data will be in every instance that said contract is used.

And in that set, you predicated that the user could not revoke consent. That means that it is not a free contract.

>And you're vastly over-simplifying the world, and overestimating your understanding of it, when you claim that such contracts could never be in the interest of the user.

A contract in which one can not revoke consent is a contract in which one can never truly give consent. If I am unable to revoke my consent, then it can never be in the interest of the user, because my interest may change in the future.

>What you're doing is absolutely reckless.

No, what was absolutely reckless was the attitude of this industry that they should be entitled to suck up every last piece of data they could.

>Selling your personal data to someone is not slavery. Slavery is a permanent condition, affecting your future self.

Which is what you're pushing for. You don't want me to be able to withdraw consent later, thus my selling of data WILL affect my future self.

>Personal data sold at one point in time only covers the data generated to that point in time, and does not forfeit data that is generated by your future self.

It still affects your future self.

Once again, you have twisted this idea of "freedom" so badly, that you are claiming that it is anti-freedom for the user to have the freedom to withdraw consent! You should be ecstatic that you will now be able to exercise greater freedom than you could before. You will have that most basic of freedom to evaluate whether or not something is still in your interest, and if it's not, withdraw, without the other party still benefiting off of your information.

SEEKING FREELANCE | San Francisco | In person preferred, remote accepted

Starsky Robotics is a self driving trucking company looking for a contractor experienced in real time video streaming. Our goal is to achieve low-latency peer to peer video streaming over a network connection with variable bandwidth, variable latency, and variable packet loss.

Starsky self driving trucks run autonomously on the highway and are teleoperated for the first and last mile. We currently have a stable, working version of teleoperation but are looking to improve the video quality and reliability.

We use C++ and Python internally, but we are language-agnostic for this project. This project's deliverable could be an integration with an enterprise solution or a custom built streaming pipeline using open source frameworks.

I think this answers my underlying curiosity. I'm still surprised that no one has come out with a low cost solution that would drive the prices down though. The barrier to entry, which is cost like you mentioned in your deck, must be fairly large.

Modular Science | Software Generalist | Onsite | Petaluma, CA

Modular Science (YC S17) is building autonomous farms of the future. We use teams of robots to automate the entire growing cycle: soil preparation, planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting. Our goal is to make it easier to do sustainable outdoor farming at a large scale.

We’re looking for a software generalist to join our founding team, working on computer vision, mapping, localization, navigation, and machine learning. This project spans everything from microcontrollers to cloud-hosted data sets of millions of images. Our daily work involves Python, OpenCV, precision GPS, AWS, multi-spectral imaging, and muddy fields.

Compensation will include meaningful equity. If you're interested in helping us improve farming, please send a short note and a resume to jobs@modularscience.com.
It is true. Article 3.2 reads:

This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:

- the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or

- the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.
Quatico.com |Fullstack, Backend, Frontend, DevOps | Zurich, Switzerland | SALARY: 95k-125k CHF | ONSITE | Swiss or EU member-states passport-holders ONLY

Don't get afraid because our website is in German because we hire English speakers for technical roles, too.

We have a true "engineering over management" culture. Our CTO, worked with Erich Gamma at IBM (Gang of Four) and our team of 20 developers consists of great people both from a technical and "social" perspective.

What we do:

- Tailored web apps with heavy number crunching on the server - e.g., we build the software analyzing all the weather data in Switzerland.

- We are building a SaaS product for Yoga studios in Zurich that can be adjusted to other local businesses with a few clicks, meaning that you can adjust it for the needs of hairdressers without having to code.

People say our interview process is awesome:

1) Phone screen with our CTO

2) Two sessions of remote pair-programming with our engineers (no Google-like algorithmic questions but reasonable pair-programming tasks).

3) Onsite half a day with us. We pay your stay in Zurich and travel expenses.

Tell us if you are interested and say hi at:

iwan.gulenko@quatico.com
You mean that some (or perhaps, "a few") have been. I'd say that Pittsburgh is more the exception than the rule. Also, Pittsburgh is probably a little unique: they have multiple universities there, including UPittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon, and Duquesne, so they were in a good position to move on to other industries. Also, I'm thinking the weather there is a good bit better than in Detroit or Flint or Buffalo or Toledo, which get lake-effect weather giving them very cold winters.

I'm guessing that if you want to predict a city's ability to transform to a haven for new industries (like tech), you need to look at how much of a college town it is. Carnegie Mellon is a top-ranked private university with 13,500 students (so not a tiny place), and just one of many large universities there. They also have a lot of nice cultural stuff there, largely thanks to Mr. Carnegie, such as the museums. Most other rust-belt cities can't boast these features. Cleveland has CWRU (11,300 students), but I can't think of a whole lot of academia in cities like Detroit, Buffalo, and definitely not Toledo or Flint.
That sounds like a lot of fun :)
Of course, I'm absolutely not saying that it's the same situation - it just reminded me about how bad it can actually become if you can't replace the main developers of a project.
> nearly 50 percent of respondents reporting that they feel alone or left out

Self-centeredness runs high these days. Us young people want the world to cater to us. However, two self-centered people don't get along that great.

If I want to make friends, then I have to choose to actively put time and energy into someone else; sometimes without getting much back.

The most lonely I've ever been (or ever seen someone else), is when I am totally self-focused - spending all my time on my plans and situation and looking for ways people can fit into those plans.

This isn't the only problem, but it's certainly a player.
Agreed that this extreme. It doesn't cut to the heart of the issue, which is that these services are being funded somehow. Mostly by ads, I'm guessing. Somewhere out there are people who are not only unable to resist giving their attention to social media, but also unable to resist giving money in the form of clicks.

I've never clicked on these ads. If I want to buy products, I go to amazon.com. I book my flights and hotels through travel websites. I imagine many people on HN would say the same. But then again, we are not representative of the population at large.
A single map using that projection calls a lot of attention to the quirks of projecting a sphere onto a plane. A different projection or multiple maps centered on segments of the line would call attention to the straight path you'd take as you graze landmasses.
