Lightning Labs | Crypto Protocol Engineer, Frontend Developer, Distributed Systems Engineer | Remote | Fulltime

https://angel.co/lightning

https://lightning.engineering/

At Lightning Labs, we scale blockchains. Our current focus is the development and deployment of the Lightning Network[1], an open blockchain scalability protocol[2] primarily being developed for Bitcoin. Lightning allows for high volume, low fee, instant payments on top of Bitcoin. We strive to continually push the edge of innovation w.r.t blockchain scalability, advanced privacy-preserving smart contracts, and cryptocurrency UX. Amongst our team include applied cryptographers, the designers of the Lightning Network protocol, and several Bitcoin developers making key contributions to the open source Bitcoin eco-system such as roasbeef[3].

{Cryto Protocol Engineer || Distributed Systems Engineer}:

We're looking for an experienced software engineer well versed in applied cryptography, peer to peer networks, distributed systems, open source software collaboration, and cryptocurrencies. Your job description would include working on lnd[4] the most feature-complete implementation of the Lightning Network, neutrino[5] an advanced lite client operating mode for Bitcoin, conduct novel research into cryptocurrencies (and related areas), and helping to design the next generation of smart contract applications on Bitcoin.

{Frontend Developer}:

Our work on the second-layer of blockchains presents a number of UI/UX challenges as we lift traditional wallets to the next layer creating a new application platform on top Lightning. As a result, we're also looking for a frontend developer to build out the key applications, libraries, and tools for the masses to interact with Lightning. Our applications are built on React, React-Native, MobX and Electron, communicating with a Lightning daemon over a binary RPC protocol. Ideal applicants have experience building+shipping React-Native applications, and have also have experience maintaining open source projects.

You can contact me directly at jobs@lightning.engineering with some, or all of the following: link to your github account, resume, a brief cover letter detailing your past experience in the areas listed above, and some relevant work you've done.

Maybe ten years ago I watched Bob Kennedy Jr or 3 or something talk about having battery swap stations instead of charging stations. Seemed interesting but I don't know much about batteries!
You'll still see promoted tweets, they'll just get more and more strange as you collect all the bigger corporate brand accounts in your blocklist.
Oh no, I'm very certain of this: I distinctly recall a github issue where people complained that addding two 32bit integers resulted in a 64bit integer, which was justified as giving more correct answers due to potential integer overflow.
Maybe someone could make it so that, out of the box, when you double click an .exe for which PlayOnLinux has a Wine install script, it's automatically used. And if not try to just launch it with Wine and hope for the best. Obviously, the hard part of this would be improving Wine and PlayOnLinux further to the point where that works reliably.
The problem is Google’s size.

1. Try out new business

2. Take over the market due to Google’s name/search power

3. Decide business isn’t worth it and pull out

4. No one is left, people have to start from scratch again
If you make special laws for a few companies, you are fighting the hydra. There will come something after you fined Google or Facebook long enough for being too big. Defining a size for "mega corporations" is also quite arbitrary and I'd quite worse because it doesn't fight the underlying problem: every human should have the right of privacy.

> Do you have evidence that it is, in fact, reining them in?

We will see what happens. The first complaints against Facebook and Google have already been filed.
As opposed to having forgotten about it. As in, if the developer responded, Github would send me an email and I would jump back into the conversation. As in I can't do anything more until the developer responds, but once they do I'm ready to help.

There's a quick and easy way to tell if someone is actively waiting: respond to them.
Fair enough. I also find it unfortunate that so many people seem to see themselves as freelance interrogators of the homeless asking about what they will do with the money they're given.
HSTS can track people. Apple fixed that just few months ago.

I tourist'd DC about 7 years ago and the bikeshare program there utterly transformed the city for monument access and getting around. Faster and closer dropoffs to the sights, getting to Georgetown was easy, faster than traffic most of the time.

An electric scooter would be even better. Manhattan too would be fantastic.

No, it's a bug. I liked your original idea, let's have that one plus a 10k constituents cap per representative as suggested in the other thread.
I blew so much money on this young girl in 15,16,17 it put me in a hole and we aren't together anymore. Was making close to 300k/yr in an area where that's a shitload of money. I could have paid off a bunch of debt, IRS, put a chunk in retirement, lots of stuff. Would I do it again? Oh hell yes because it was an incredible experience. Money ain't shit unless it facilitates an experience you'd never, ever get otherwise. There's different motivators for making money. I've definitely found mine. Writing a new revenue generator right now and I've written so much code I definitely wouldn't have the energy to do this much work unless I had experienced what I did.
Because using Google's servers to bypass a government level block puts them in a bad spot legally, whereas they're not in a bad spot by making it hard for you to block specific services.
Like in Star Wars. I think it can work.
> There's a big difference between a right to anonymity and a right to be forgotten.

Exactly. Privacy also doesnt mean being invisble when interacting with people or machines. It's not a well-defined right, and the limits can often be fuzzy (e.g. a problem that kids often have with parents). Pseudonymity / anonymity can also be subject to gradation.
Investment in (much needed) public transit does the same and tends to benefit low income people not those that have $30K to spend on a new car.
I was looking recently at a report about the costs of running electric buses, and it seems to be on the edge of profitable at the moment, which is why private investment isn't piling in.

It does seem like the right place to make a public investment, though, that will be one of the first areas where electric vehicles will be the hard-nosed cheapest option.

Especially given the money will presumably go in part to public institutions like schools, which can potentially reduce bills, certainly in the long-run.

Apple make the lions share of their profit from two lines of arm devices, and they build their own processors. It makes absolute sense for them to start stuffing arm in macbooks, especially given how powerful arm chips are these days.

In five years time we'll probably see the end of Intel macbooks, maybe Intel macs entirely.
If you don't care about the webcam, why do you care about its placement?
So small investors get screwed, because they'll never get enough in an individual action to pay the litigation costs.
I read a book on survival techniques when I was a teenager and it had a chapter on street fighting. It was prefaced with something like: the best way to win a fight is to not have one; pay attention to your surroundings and avoid getting into a situation where you have to fight. Run away if you can.
It does when it doesn't run the software I need it to run. Specifically Capture One, and Unibox. Both vital to the work I do. The rest of the dev tools work under Linux, I will give you that. But the MacOS desktop experience is infinitely more polished. It's basically what Linux on desktop wishes it could have been for the last twenty years.
Given someone could register Stripe, Inc. in a different US state than where Stripe, Inc. is incorporated: https://stripe.ian.sh/ I would suggest... arguably, yes? Presumably within the realm of NZ, Neighbourly could go after Google for trademark infringement of some sort, if Google launches it in NZ, but from a global standpoint, what authority does anyone have to protect their name worldwide?
If you only want a Unix environment then it's overkill because you do have to deal with Windows and pay some perf / usability penalties. But as the place to do my unix-y things in a computer otherwise setup to run games and big software packages (Unity, Maya, etc) it is great and keeps improving.
A huge number of people use adblockers, and websites haven't changed to make the experience better. All they've done is changed to block anyone using adblockers, which is what many sites/networks already do to Tor.
Do a DNS lookup of sites you trust on your ISP and on your VPN and using public resolvers. Look up who owns those IP's using web based whois sites over your VPN. That should give you more information to make an informed decision.
Rolling blackouts in the summer in California have been in the news perennially.
you can, and it is still a valuable contribution to the Tor network, since it adds cover traffic. the catch is just that the website you're using will know who you are. I hope that the vast majority of users will understand that if they log in, there is no privacy mode that will save them from the site they log into.

> Those are subdomains of 1e100.net, which we know Google owns

Sorry but to the average user, the domain name 1e100.net doesn't ring a bell at all at this point. They would still have to look up the IP in ARIN/RIPE/etc to see that the IP range is effecively owned by a company called Google.

Do you really need a hostname at all? Wouldn't be the ARIN/RIPE/etc entry be sufficient to know who "owns" said IP address?
they do photo albums.
I've been tempted by Mac partly because of the beautiful display partly because I'm tired of fiddling around to get various Linux bits to work exactly as I want. I'd have to give up some of my customization, but controlling the hardware and software should make it seamless.

Current problem: My ThinkPad docking station has a GPU multiplexer that prevents it from being able to drive two external monitors. Doesn't look like there's a solution at all.

The solution I've ended up on is a HP 13 G1 Chromebook. 95% of what I need to do at home I can do there or SSHed in to my AWS machine: OpenVPN to work, SSH to work, all the stuff in the browser.

My requirements at home are fairly minimal these days. To the point that I just have a base Ubuntu 18.04 install on the ThinkPad with OpenVPN set up and some keys.

This has been an ongoing experiment and it honestly is working out amazingly. This is very good hardware, great display (3200x1800), no worries about the software. It was $500 refurb, and I've been very happy with it. Around the same time I got an Acer for around $250 and the hardware was nowhere near as good.

Depending on what you need to do with it, a Chromebook might do the job.
Curious: (1) Do you have some screenshots demonstrating this issue and (2) perhaps an example PDF that others could download for the purpose of issue reproduction? (I have not seen this issue, nor am I able to reproduce this issue after repeatedly trying under Preview. I have compared it with on-screen rendering under Acrobat XI, as well.) // Preview 10.0 (944.5), macOS 10.13.4 (17E202), MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017)
Why do you even try to block using the rDNS name? It's literally backwards.
Couple of years ago I was stopped by police for not making full stop. Wasn't cited, just verbal warning, but still..

Also what sucks was the fact that bunch of people in front of me just flew through the stop sign without even slowing down, and then me, who slows down at every stop to almost full stop (just short of tilting the bike and putting leg on the ground) was stopped by police car behind me.
This will really hurt their enterprise cloud business. Google has shown to have a bunch of employees who will leak confidential discussions to the press and try to PR damage their employer. If you are a large company looking for a home, that is exactly the kind of environment you want to avoid.

In addition, many of the large US companies have a military component. Examples are GE, Boeing, United Technologies. How many of those companies want something like what happened with Maven to happen to them.

Finally, the success of this project will further embolden Google employees to use these same tactics of leaking and hurting Google's image in the future. Given how things progress, the next protest is likely to be about something that is even more gray area than Maven.
I have an acquaintance that works a PG&E, and he said something to the effect that the infrastructure cost for the electric grid is what actually costs money, and the actual generation cost is relatively negligible.

The customer cost structure although is inverted based on generation, and not on grid fees. He also talked about how the CA govt uses them as a subsidy funding source and that can create a state where PG&E is close to insolvency sometimes.

He also talked about the utility death spiral: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/this-is-what-th...
> It makes us very dependent on the whims of that monopolist.

Very true. Only allow Google and you are helping them to build their monopoly. And if they have full monopoly they do what they want - including asking you money to be included in the search results.
> If you want none of your personal info on the web, I have a suggestion: Don't participate in forums, social media, etc.

sensible regulation that defines workable limits of what personal information can be collected, combined with requirements for anonymization when needed is a better solution.
My point was that Russia and China (and France, the UK, and many other nations) are going to develop them anyways, regardless of whether the US develops them.

Anyone who likes living in a world where the US has military superiority over Russia and China (and every other nation) should support the US military, Google, and any other US company developing these weapons.
FWIW this is a very wide practice in the industry.

I'm fairly skeptical about how soon door-to-door autonomy arrives but figuring out the cost basis seems fairly straightforward. You also have to account that there will be some deadheading to get to you, to the next fare, and to park/get cleaned/fueled.

I suspect Uber/Lyft/Zipcar/etc.have already significantly cut into the second car in a lot of greater urban area households--or will when the next refresh cycle comes around. Anything that further reduces on-demand costs just increases the effect. (Though it's probably worth at least noting that current rideshare (where available) pricing is <= 2-3x base operational costs. That's not nothing obviously but it's not a difference between a luxury and too cheap to meter.)
It looks like it's UK and India only for now. See bottom right.
Out of curiosity: why?
Yahoo Hacker Gets 5 Years in U.S. Prison
No, this isn't domain fronting. This has to do with PTR records, reverse DNS.

Domain fronting is all about the forward lookups, normally you wouldn't be making PTR requests in a normal web request.

Putting all your infrastructure under a single utility domain is very common, all the ISPs do it. It's good practice for reasons listed elsewhere in here.

Bringing in the practice of domain fronting into this conversation is technically irrelevant, but it does advance an agenda, relying upon the less-than-technically literate HN audience from being confused between reverse DNS, domain fronting, and firewall rules.
Which of the businesses they've dropped is this true for? Few of the examples I can think of were market leaders when they were dropped, and none of those were monopolising the market completely.
Unless, of course, the article wasn't helpful. Then hit "NO" under the same prompt. Because, you know, YMMV.
Anyone know how this integrates with Maps? I could imagine some really cool innovations by applying machine learning or somehow connecting the data from this app to Maps users.

That's not to say they couldn't revert to their embrace, extend, and extinguish tactics of the 90s, even under future leadership.

I feel that no big corporation should own GitHub, even if their investors feel differently.
> The only place owning an EV is actually environmentally friendly

Even if I buy the fact that your EV car is only equally efficient, you are changing distributed pollution of cars which is very difficult to mitigate into point source pollution at the production plant which is far easier to mitigate.

In addition, the moment your car is in stop-and-go traffic at 5mph, electric becomes a huge win. An ICE is probably idling even when not moving (that is changing somewhat in newer cars as they can start and stop the engine quite a bit quicker) while an EV (even hybrid) is effectively dividing by zero when not actually rolling (no consumption at all).
Livepeer | Software engineer, video infrastructure | New York City | Onsite or Remote | https://livepeer.org/jobs/

Livepeer is a decentralized video streaming network, built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. We just officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet, and we're looking for a video engineer to help build out the network.

The day-to-day technical problems will involve scalable peer-to-peer infrastructure, video standards, tools and streaming protocols, crypto protocol design, smart contract development, and video application development.

You'll be working with a great, focused team on some very interesting problems. It's still early days for Livepeer and decentralized video, so there's an opportunity to make a long-lasting and meaningful impact in the space. We try take an open and thoughtful approach to our discussions and the resulting work, and you can find much of it on Github.

I'm also a user and I've noticed significant changes.

In that time I’ve noticed Real Estate, Ads, Marketplaces, Interest groups, completely redesigned apps, etc. and probably a bunch of stuff that I haven’t noticed as well.

I'm pretty sure that they don't HAVE to use the defaults, and for something like DNS, they probably shouldn't be... The buffer should probably be limited to what the largest request segment would be for creating the TLS/HTTPS connection in the first place, which just guessing would be closer to 1K.
100 possibilities are really easy to test, though, so P must be fully available near the end. We can all agree it's not available at the beginning (subject to the methodology.) So it becomes more and more available over time, but that is not what the EMH says -- at all. If you are saying market prices will reflect information as a function of how "readily" available it is (for example how smart you have to be to see it), that is just not EMH.

For the drug trial example, again, I like it but perhaps such an expert is theoretically excluded? Your statement might be like saying "suppose there's a hypothetical O(n) halting algorithm that answers the halting problem in constant time for the length of the program it's testing." That's nice but there's a proof that what you've just hypothesized is impossible[1].

I am not exactly saying that an ideal expert in human biochemistry who can predict the results of drug trials is impossible, but how do we know it's possible? I mean, is chemistry guaranteed to be fully computable or something?

For your last point, I think that what I asked to assume (that the $1B transfer is credible, that the computer is secure) are nowhere near the size of assumption of something like "assume there exists someone who can predict biochemical reactions in humans without testing." Basically the legal instruments and secure computers I included are easy, solved problems that I ask the reader to assume are being implemented following best practices.

> True Color and hyperlink support in the Terminal app

Why? Isn’t iTerm better in every imaginable way?

> Markdown support in the Notes app. Including code blocks and syntax highlighting.

1) there’s plenty of good apps (better than Notes.app anyway) that support this already

2) I’d argue <1% of Mac owners know of Markdown, let alone use it. Sure, we both do, but I’d rather them focus on the important bits (stability/performance/etc) and leave the niche app features to the ecosystem.
