(Stealth) | “First Executive” | Negotiable Salary and Equity | Remote | https://beourfirstexec.com

Established SEO/Media company looking for CEO/First Executive.

Two online marketers/developers turned startup founders seek expertise in turning hyper growth business into sustainable businesses.

4 years ago one of our moonshot projects took off, so we leaned on a team distributed freelancers around the world. This has been a powerful bootstrapping tool, but today we see the need for a centralized core team with internalized expertise and management.

To help us, we’re looking for an experienced CEO caliber candidate that has a proven track record in leading fast growing, high-output, nimble companies.

Prior experience and proven track record required. Ideal candidate, has a successful exit under their belt in a CEO, CTO, CMO capacity, a deep understanding of SEO (it isn’t rocket science), and a love for building amazing products and teams.

For more details: https://beourfirstexec.com/

If you aren’t the candidate but know someone who would be, we're offering a $10k referral bounty.

Posted anonymously as our main HN accounts would make our company a dead giveaway.
FYI many of these require a current security clearance
Is code generation too difficult for COBOL? You'd expect some more modern tools for abstraction and interoperability or something…
A pet peeve of mine is the contemporary usage of ’incredible’, taken to be roughly synonymous with ’amazing’, while its actually shares a root with incredulous, and literally implies that what has been conveyed cannot be believed. An ”incredible story” is not one that is astonishing, but one that cannot be taken as factual.
Possible causes:

Death of retail: No social record stores, no social book stores, arcades

Internet everywhere: People on laptops at coffeehouse, on mobile phones at bus stop / checkout

Bad Transit/Urbanism/Public policy: Streets for cars, no plazas like the Italians, can't drink a bottle of wine in a public park
How should we think about AI bias?

They don't have their own client offering, but super-easy to roll your own with their B2 cloud service. There's support for backblaze targets in duplicity, hashbackup, restic and rclone -- my org uses it as a special remote for git-annex, and also use it to back up our synology units (see: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html).

2TB would cost you about $10/month for the storage ($0.005/GB), plus $0.01/GB for downloads.
I'd guess

1. They are already in place and in use.

or

2. Vendor/consultant is aware of them.
It would guess it wanted to be able to snoop on connections that its developers were making to its production systems. Unusual, but not entirely unreasonable.
No, the parent is correct. While it is possible to find the original, it is legally tricky to show it. Thus somebody who doesn't go out of their way probably will not see it.

Ask HN: What HTML to PDF Angular (typescript) solution are available?
Hello everyone,
I'm been looking for a fully frontend solution to take our generated html to PDF. I've come across jsPDF with html2canvas to sidestep the limitation of jsPDF fromHTML method that does not take CSS into consideration, but have come blank.
Has anyone out there been able to find a fully frontend solution to html-to-pdf generation that includes CSS styles?
Agree a bit.
You drive the terminal with one microservice per character, obviously.
Lots of comments here about being upset over the trend of headphone jack removal in both camps. I know advertising is... just that, but I'm still disappointed in Google's ad for the first Pixel phone (started at 43s):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rykmwn0SMWU&start=43&version...

This was right after Apple removed the headphone jack on the iPhone 7. And after poking fun at Apple, the next generation Pixel 2 of course also had the headphone jack removed as well.

I'm hopeful that platforms like Brave Browser/BAT (Basic Attention Token) will take off, to allow people to more directly monetize their attention, so that 'unpaid microwork' will become 'microwork.' I don't know how much demand there is for it though, since people seem content to consume endless amounts of social media for free. On the advertising (rather than consumption) side, people will advertise stuff in hopes of getting free stuff or some type of sponsorship opportunity. It's crazy how much advertising they will do for free. Brands have to be making bazillions off of this type of advertising.

Recently, I noticed that Instagram has tweaked their algorithm so that likes (and story views) are doled out in a more spread out fashion. If you post something, you won't get a bunch of likes at once, now, you're more likely to get them over the course of 24-48 hours to get you back checking the app over the entire window. I figure they have always done this, but the window seems to have grown substantially. It seems like they are reaching further and further to get engagement.

Will FB be able to infinitely increase their engagement, or will they run out, and be left with a bunch of zombie addicts who are no longer valuable to them, since they've effectively killed their host? It seems like drugs sometimes have this end game.

Personally, I'm moving away from using any more unpaid platforms to host my data or work. If a platform has a free option, I choose to pay for it. I no longer trust companies that rely solely on advertising revenue (err, maybe that means I shouldn't be using HN :) )
Historically, the answer to "what's in it for me" for the elite when it comes to wealth sharing is that it acts as guillotine insurance.
Add to that, we can't even make passive USB-C to 3.5mm adapters properly!

But even that doesn't matter now when the Pixel 2 (etc.) has been released without even an internal DAC. People buy these overpriced passive adapters but they obviously won't work, so people leave 1-star reviews and have to return the cables.

This is a fuckup of epic proportions.
ThoughtWorks | Senior Developer | New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, Nationwide | ONSITE plus travel | thoughtworks.com

ThoughtWorks is hiring talented Senior Developers across the United States! We have offices in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, and San Francisco, but our technologists live all across the country. This is because, as consultants, we work almost exclusively on site at our client’s offices. Most of our consultants travel during the week and fly home for weekends. We know extensive travel is not for everyone, which is why we’re up front about it.

ThoughtWorks developers have contributed code to enterprise organizations, nonprofits, and open source projects for over 25 years. They also write books, speak at conferences, and help push software development forward—changing companies and industries along the way. Senior Developers play work on a huge variety of projects and play an important role in making our work a success. You could be helping to influence the digital strategy of a retail giant, building a new mobile application for a bank, or redesigning platforms using event sourcing and intelligent data pipelines. You’ll use the latest Lean and Agile thinking, solve mission-critical problems and challenge yourself everyday.

What we're looking for:

* Ability to write high-quality, well-tested code. We don’t limit ourselves to one language; experience in any of Java, Scala, C#, Javascript, Ruby or Python is preferred

* Experience working with Agile, Lean and/or Continuous Delivery approaches such as Continuous Integration, TDD, Infrastructure as Code, etc.

* Knowledge and appreciation of cloud technology such as AWS, Docker or Kubernetes is a plus

* A passion for automation; you don’t like doing the same thing twice

* We value diversity; we support traditional and nontraditional career paths.

If you’re interested, please email me your CV at acipolar@thoughtworks.com. To learn more or to apply directly, visit https://www.thoughtworks.com/careers/us/seniordev
It's not really a basic feature. The sandboxing of iOS apps is smart in many ways. Allowing 3rd party access to an native Apple app could open up problems.

This is why tax rates, especially at the top, should move together with changing "natural" wealth distributions. If technology and new business models are making more "winner take all" scenarios and favoring a few top earners and highly centralized businesses, we don't need to try and shut them down by inventing market distortions, just make top tax brackets higher. Amazon doesn't need to get broken up and at the same time no one has to starve either because it killed their mom-and-pop shop.

Really, the current state of markets are such that we should have at least ~60% top marginal tax rates and treat capital gains exactly the same as income. Whether there's political will for that, I don't know, but it is the best solution.
The argument implied in the article is that choosing a different public interface (breaking "C compatibility" and the imposted limitations) could bring a serious performance improvement.

While precisely how those instructions are implemented (on chip microcode) is a private matter for the chip design team, we do care how much resources it takes to implement these instructions, since if we can enable a more efficient implementation then we can get better price/performance.

But if politicians asked real questions and demanded actual answers, the theatrical value could be replaced by actual value, which is supposed to be the point of the democratic process in the first place. As it is, more times than not we are paying a massive number of very expensive people to engage in theatre that no one wants to watch to produce results that often do more harm than good, and are rarely resemble what the voting public wants.
This matches my experience. People get married, settle down, and then the people they mainly interact with are coworkers and parents of their children. If those people don't have a reasonable sampling of people that match your interests, you don't have a lot of opportunities to make friends elsewhere. Meetups are often full of people trying to hook up, so not always useful for people already in a relationship. Plus, just having a single shared interest like knitting, dancing, or kickboxing isn't really a lot to hang a relationship on.
The coolest part is if you put a few them together you open a non-orientable wormhole and pass into an Alice Universe.

Precisely. As someone who's tried to duel a compiler for performance, -O3 has very little resemblance to anything I've ever written, and outperforms what I've written significantly.
You seem to be conflating number of hours worked with value produced. Working long hours doesn't necessarily imply producing anything more useful.

You say "find excuses to avoid work", but you also talk about lack of skills - which is it? Getting stuff done without working long hours may imply really good skills.

If this comes down to "I don't see them sitting in chair sufficiently long" then this is your problem, not theirs.

If it's "they could be doing better things" then maybe you should have a conversation about which particular skills they're missing.

If it's "avoids doing actually necessary work", again that's a conversation you should have with them.
A toggle would actually be a good use of POST, though PUTting the desired state would be better (PATCH works instead of PUT if you are changing some part of the state and not the whole state, but is unnecessary if the door state consists entirely of either “open” or ”closed”.)

That's the 1% of the time that it's not better. Using a streaming service doesn't stop you from buying albums or song that you really want to keep around for a long time.
But the article was making a strong claim that this was the provably optimal solution. In this case it is, because the objective function (in the way I'm assuming they formulated the problem) is convex.
> The question that follows any argument that advocates some form of wealth sharing is "what do I get in return?"

This is a ridiculous question to ask. The basis of society is sharing resources; some of us have just forgotten because it's convenient. What do you get in return? To live in a society where nobody is starving, everyone is educated and free to do whatever makes them happy.

One solution to this might be to maintain separate archives when a domain changes ownership, based on WHOIS information. Previous owners could still request deletion via email as is currently possible.
