* Official language in Energotest is Polish

* Remote work is partially possible (1 day/week)

If you want to avoid the recruitment path, take on the challenge available here: https://energotest.github.io/Challenge/
How did spanking lead to respect for others? Are you afraid other people might physically hurt you if you don't "respect" them? Or does adverse interactions bring up the childhood memories of being spanked? In genuinely curious how this works? (I grew up in a country where spanking and all other physical abuse of children is illegal)
I would give Musk more credit than this. He obviously knows when the deadlines/targets are unrealistic. I don’t think that’s the point.

The point is that he’s pushing really hard to make them realistic. And even if he gets 50% of the way there it’s still a massive win compared to being realistic/conservative.

Also, people’s imagination does not respond really well to boring/conservative.
You're missing the point. The whole point of a mechanical keyboard is that you don't press the key all the way down; you stop when it clicks. This is good for RSI because your finger doesn't abruptly decelerate because of mechanical bottoming-out.
Also that they are using Qualcomm

> The push for speed could keep Qualcomm ahead of Intel, its rival in handset baseband chips. Intel announced in November plans to support CDMA and gigabit speeds in its 2018 cellular modems and up to 1.6-Gbit/s downlinks in 2019.

Springshare | Intermediate/Senior Software Engineer | Remote / NY / FL | Full Time

Springshare is a well established SaaS provider to libraries (academic/public/special) and education (colleges/k-12 schools). Check us out at https://springshare.com. We’ve been around since 2007. Our target market is small so we’ll never go public and we won’t promise you equity worth paper millions. But, we offer a supportive small team environment where your work will have a measurable impact, competitive salary & benefits, a steady job, and that great feeling that your work matters because it is improving the worlds’ libraries and schools (we are international, with client institutions in 80 countries). Come and help us grow – slow but steady.

5+ years professional experience with PHP or Angular, or both, is required. Experience in OOP/MVC concepts is a must, too.

You must be comfortable – and highly productive – working remotely. We do have an office in NYC but everyone else works remotely. We’d prefer if you live in one of these states - NY, CA, FL, PA, MA, or KY. If you’re international, the working hours must overlap significantly with US working hours.

The sibling comment from codeulike points out that they clearly stated the very thing you spent so many words questioning (in that time a quick skim of their report would've saved you all that trouble). Have you never heard a story of how a new entrant might be able to do better than the status quo? There's a lot going on here, and these stories are not so simple. Yes, in many ways EVs are simpler. There are stories of Elon Musk micromanaging to a fault, so maybe another CEO would've gotten them producing quicker with fewer issues. However, perhaps that other CEO wouldn't have gone up against the other manufacturers in the first place. I'm not defending either type of car maker, but there are countless stories of new players figuring out how they too can play, and they often find out how to do it better even if they make a lot of mistakes along the way.

edit: "maybe"
Very awesome and interesting read, it is actually crazy how many people will fall blatantly to these sorts of malware/adware injections. Hopefully Malwarebytes at the very least stops this from happening.

Unfortunately the majority of users who fall for this are young kids.
I don't think the intent is to do code review from email. The idea would be to send the merge request through email, which is then imported into your local git as a branch. Then you're able to do review/analysis/etc with whichever git tooling you prefer.

Some cashiers are busybodies that make comments on your purchases. The majority don't but it can be very upsetting if you do experience it. I had one question me on what I was going to do with pizza dough, which was... weird to say the least, I'd assume that someone would be making pizza with pizza dough. I've had cashiers ask me if food I was buying was good or make comments on new products they havne't seen yet.

When I was a cashier I certainly looked at the products I was scanning beyond orienting to the barcode so I don't really know where you're getting that from. It wasn't "mentally exhausting" or anything either, that's a little weird to say. In fact, cashier are required to actually 'look' at the product in some amount of detail because some items need to be bagged a certain way and they need to check ID on some products, like alcohol.
Pusher | Mobile Architect | London UK | Full Time | Permanent | Onsite

Mission

At Pusher we’ve built an incredibly successful business from our core pub-sub API product, helping tens of thousands of developers build scalable web and mobile apps faster.

But we didn’t stop there: we spent the last 18 months investing in a new platform. We took everything we learned from building and running Pusher and made it easier to develop innovative new products like Chatkit, TextSync, and Push Beams.

We believe our products can only be successful if they provide great developer experience, which starts with easy to use, consistent SDKs.

If anybody is interested in this, then it's worth looking at the RIE approach for babies and toddlers (Janet Lansbury's blog is a good place to start http://www.janetlansbury.com/). A large part of it is about allow babies and toddlers to choose what they pay attention to. Anecdotally, I very loosely followed it with our two and they have amazing attention spans compared with most kids their age - certainly both their teachers have commented on it. It's also much more relaxing as a parent I found, letting your children be in charge of what they want to pay attention to most of the time.

Until about age 6 I didn't understand about nails. I thought I was being helpful with just the hammering.

Then I went through an uncanny valley period where I was too young and uncoordinated to use nails, but too smart to be kept busy with pointless hammering.
It could also just as easily be that people are studying more for those tests ahead of time. I personally did maybe two hours of prep work before taking the ACT and SAT. I would guess that was on the high end of people I knew, many of whome I don't think even bothered to take the practice tests.
How large is your payload? Asking out of curiousity.
I find it odd to see Java and Python lumped together. The companies I've seen using those respective languages (by job listings) seem to be quite different. I'm a Python developer and I've only ever worked in small, fast moving teams (biggest team I've worked in had 4 developers).
LendKey | New York, NY or Cincinnati, OH | Full-time | ONSITE | $100k - $150k+ | Senior/Lead Software Engineer, Platform Engineer, Data Engineer, UX Director | https://www.lendkey.com/

Come help us build the next generation Lending as a Service platform. We're in an exciting transition phase where we need some key people to help break down our monolith into services.
LendKey is a growth-stage lending technology firm that partners with credit unions and community banks to allow them to offer some of the most borrower-friendly loans in the industry (mostly in student loan / student loan re-fi space). LendKey enables these community financial institutions to bring loans to consumers online, making the end-to-end lending process easy & simple for both borrowers and lenders. Because we're growth stage (founded in 2009, Series C) the team has the advantage of being at a stable company but still have elements of a start-up (115 employees currently).

What we offer:

• Competitive Salary

• Stock options

• Unlimited Vacation Policy

• Flexible work environment

• Startup culture

• Employee events/activities

• Good benefits

We're looking for top tech talent in software, platform, data engineering, and UX.
What we're seeking in all of these roles:
Team-members who are open to learning new technologies. Brave enough to implement solutions to challenging problems. Can be hands-on but also strategic. Willing to speak your mind but kind to others when doing it.
We're Ruby on Rails, Linux, Docker, but we're actively searching for the next tool for the job. For data/reporting we are a SQL Server and MySQL shop, looking for Apache Hadoop, Kafka, Airflow and Amazon Redshift experience.

Shoot me an email at tony (dot) baron at lendkey.com with resume or questions! Don't quite fit a defined role and things sound interesting? Let's see if we can work something out anyway. I'm an engineer here.
I believe there is a difference, though.

Let's say that a regional government has $100 million in tax revenue, and that they have a balanced budget. Some company is considering relocating to the region, which would turn a piece of property currently contributing $100,000 revenue, or close to that, into a piece of property plus corporate tax and personal income taxes contributing $1.2 million, but with an increase in required spending of another $100,000, for a gain in net revenue of $1 million.

Offering a tax break less than $1 million costs nothing today, but still means an increase for the regional government, just a smaller one.

Offering a subsidy means dipping into a currently-balanced budget today, and making it up, probably, a year from now.

If all projections work out as expected, then several years from now there's probably no difference. But this, there could be a cash flow difference immediately.

Also, it's pretty easy to tell existing companies: tax breaks are for new development that increase value, and the break is essentially an 80% (or whatever) discount on the new taxes. It's hard to tell existing companies: we give subsidies to new companies but we'll continue to take you for granted.

At least that's how I suspect existing companies in a region tend to hear "subsidies."
More than 70M cars are produced worldwide every year. The 3 large German producers, Mercedes, Audi and BMW, are producing around 6M cars, of which many are priced similarly or more expensive than Model 3. That's just to mention some of the larger ones.

There is easily a demand for millions of cars within the upper end of the mid price segment like Model 3, and once the price of batteries goes down just a bit, EVs can reach the lower end of the mid segment.

We are not at the cheap segment yet, but it's just a matter of battery prices going down (through economy of scale; we actually don't need any breakthroughs in technology).

Then factor in charging networks. Right now, I don't have any supercharger near me. Next year I will. In 4-5 years I will have plenty.

As for not trusting the traditional manufacturers, I stopped buying Nokia and Ericsson and never came back, ones Apple marketed the iPhone. Not because they had had bad products or weren't trustworthy anymore. Just because it was obvious they produced the old tech and were behind on the new. People stopped buying horses and carriages when Ford produced his cars. Horses served us well for millennia.

And the hundreds of thousands of Teslas already driving billions of miles on the road are still driving well without the engines and expertise of BMW, right? People trust Tesla's tech now.
> people that wilfully and knowingly created the conditions for the crisis

This is unnecessarily conspiratorial. Particularly given the proximate causes of the crisis erupted from domains over which the Federal Reserve had pretty much zero pre-crisis oversight (broker-dealers and insurers).

Did Greenspan's policies throw fuel on the fire? Yes. Was that done to create a crisis? No.
It may just be Brazil.
> Why would you think that Rust is "far simpler" than C++?

C++ as a language is a lot more complicated. It has a lot of features with weird corner cases that interact in unfortunate ways.

> And I wouldn't say that Rust's safer than Java either.

Depends on what you mean with safe. If you mean memory safe, then they are about as safe. Rust has fewer runtime failures due to concurrency and null pointers though.
> Seems the simple way to look at it is to not partition by door, but by chosen vs not chosen.

Right. That might be the easiest way for this problem.

More straightforwardly, without that shortcut:

- Call the doors a, b, and c. Assume, without loss of generality, that we choose door a initially. Let the random variable X ∈ {a, b, c} be the door with the car.

- Our prior probability is uniformly distributed: Pr(X = a) = Pr(X = b) = Pr(X = c) = 1/3.

- The data Y that we collect is our observation of which door gets opened by the host. The likelihood function Pr(Y = y | X = x) is the probability of the observation being y (i.e., that Y = y), given that the underlying state is x (i.e., that X = x). The only non-zero likelihoods are Pr(Y = b | X = a) = Pr(Y = c | X = a) = 1/2 and Pr(Y = c | X = b) = Pr(Y = b | X = c) = 1.

- Bayes' theorem, Pr(X = x | Y = y) = Pr(Y = y | X = x)·Pr(X = x)/Pr(Y = y), gives the answer, the posterior probability, which should be seen as a function of x. The denominator Pr(Y = y) = ∑ Pr(Y = y | X = x), sum over x ∈ {a, b, c}, is a normalising factor that makes the posterior probability distribution sum to 1. It is also the probability we, at the start of the game, assign to Y = y. In our problem, Pr(Y = a) = 0 and Pr(Y = b) = Pr(Y = c) = 1/2.

How about you put in the numbers and see if it comes out right or if I have made a mistake? :-)

Edit: Sorry, I just realised that we could have made it simpler by assuming that the host opens, say, door b.
I spent so much time and energy stressing over my very mediocre GPA. I had undiagnosed adhd at the time and struggled immensely with turning things in on time. I usually did above average on tests, but when there are only a few homework assignments in a semester and no-late work policy, one zero really hurts. I was able to work it back up from a 2.2 in sophomore year to a 3.0 by graduation, but that was only because they very generously allowed me to sign a matriculation contract to stay in my major despite the lousy GPA. Also my 300 and 400 level CS courses were far more interesting and engaging, with fewer tiny assignments to miss.

I was kinda depressed because I knew the likes of Google would have no interest in me with that GPA, but my part time intern experience turned out to be worth so much more. I got a great entry level job from it, and from there got my foot in the door at Amazon where I thrived (who didn't ask about grades once) and ever since then, Google and everyone else has been reaching out to me. So while I have nothing against people with good GPAs, I'm
never going to hire based on them.
They should have also added the following to their examples:

* vacuum tubes over transistors

* goto over functions

* inheritance over composition

* your favorite last decade best practice here

This manifesto just moves the argument to what industry best practices are (hint: it's not page reloads for every single interaction for most things).

Web Application vs. Website: What Suits Your Business Better
Left-field comment here but can you talk to or get closer to the users of whatever product you are working on, so that you can hear how your work is actually helping someone?

That CRUD app might be saving someone money, time, and truly improving their life, and hearing that directly from the user is going to be a lot more fulfilling.
Hmmm. I can't really speak from experience, but I read a couple books on the subject and they are in agreement that Sega led Europe. But of course Europe is a more diverse market than the US so I'd expect more variation from one place to another.

Might be, then again no one else bothered to actually save Java, so we get whoever cared, regardless of the monetary reasons.
It’s also an advantage. The intern makes mistakes more often than anyone else but also sees what the veterans cannot.

Anyway, I think at this point Elon is fully aware of how hard this is.
Southeast USA including: Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Maryland (Annapolis Junction), South Carolina (Greenville), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (beach east of Melbourne), Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Pennsylvania (State College) and possibly others, all ONSITE. Citizenship is a job requirement.

We do emulators, JIT, hypervisors, stuff similar to valgrind, debuggers, manual disassembly, binary static analysis, parsers, and assembly. We write our own low-level tools, frequently in C99 to run on Linux. We also use IDA Pro, qemu, Simics, JTAG debuggers, gdb, Coverity, KlocWork, LLVM, and so on. Easily transferable skills include those related to compilers, kernel drivers, embedded RTOSes, vectorizing, firmware, VxWorks BSP development, symbolic execution, boot loaders, software verification, concolic testing, abstract interpretation, satisfiability (SAT, SMT) solvers, and decompilers. We work with more than a dozen architectures including PowerPC/ppc, MIPS, ARM/Thumb/AArch64, x86/x64/Intel, DSPs, and microcontrollers. We hire from no-degree to PhD. Common degrees include Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics.

We don't normally work overtime, and we get paid more if we do. We're never expected to take work home or be on call. Because of the citizenship requirement, there is no chance that the work will be outsourced. Flex-time is fairly extreme; some do randomish hours.

Location hints: Pick Arlington for a car-free life, subway included. Pick Florida or Texas to live in a place with solid gun rights and no state income tax. Pick Florida for almost no traffic or commute, surfing, and houses that commonly go for $150,000 to $450,000.
