Great project. Offline mapping is a great feature addition. I'm working on a similar side project using C++ and Qt. I tinkered with Qt maps for a bit, but found it was sucking up too much of my time building a navigation app with all of the necessary features so I scrapped it. I will probably try to integrate an open source mapping app later on to make life easier.

So far, I got music streaming and voice calls working over bluetooth and I'm currently working on cleaning up the UI. I'm also considering upgrading my board to the i.MX8 which recently came out. Next I''m planning on adding an LTE modem, OTA updates and some kind of basic music app.
For youth unemployment, I would propose granting kids some credits toward college/uni for doing summer farm work. It’s dirty and rough, but the more people are connected to their food the better.
Why Juniper? I would not trust proprietary stuff over Strongswan, even if it worked correctly :) And Apple IKEv2 native clients work fine too.

Contract Simply (YC S17) | Austin, TX | Product Manager | Full-Time | Onsite

Contract Simply (https://contractsimply.com) is looking for a Senior Product Manager in Austin or is willing to relocate.

ABOUT US

Contract Simply is building the first A.I., machine learning platform for the $900B US construction lending market. We help banks manage their large and complex construction loan portfolio using intelligent automation and integrated payments. Unlike a typical loan, a construction loan isn’t a single payment. Instead, it’s broken up into monthly payments called draws. That monthly draw process is complicated, with many stakeholders and hundreds or thousands of documents. Currently, all of this is managed with excel spreadsheets, PDFs, emails, and paper checks.

Our software helps lenders, developers, and other stakeholders produce and process this documentation automatically, leading to fewer errors, faster payments, and more profitable loans.

We’re currently small (10 employees), YC-backed, and are already working with several of the largest lenders in the industry. You’d be working directly with the founders in a company that values being purposeful, efficient, authentic, transparent, curious, and agile.

ABOUT YOU / THE ROLE

We’re looking for a product manager who is happy to take ownership of the product lifecycle and who is not afraid to get their hands dirty. Your key responsibilities will be to set the medium-term vision and strategy of the product and communicate that strategy to all of the relevant participants and stakeholders.

We offer competitive pay and benefits, plus equity. Our culture is open, transparent, and fun. We work hard, but also take time for our families, friends, and hobbies.

If you're interested, please contact me at andrew@contractsimply.com. You can also read more about the job and requirements at https://angel.co/contract-simply/jobs/322111-sr-product-mana...
I don’t see why that would be presumed. It’s less expensive to give kids supervised free time than to teach lessons.

Hence my ask in the edit: which specific prize / award / recognition can I follow as an amateur math afficionado that doesn't suffer from age bias?

You didn't mention one, beyond saying that it exists or that it's given in special circumstances... Which is the challenge re:Fields being the most prestigious.

Low social status has inherent indignities.
The struggle comes when you have large families. Who do you cut? At this point in my life, I'd rather just elope to the justice of peace.
How precisely does the fact that these countries exist 'require' complying with local legislation? Google is free to host their servers in other countries, which are free from censorship laws. It's not like Google needs to be present in that market to survive.

In a bigger context, the Internet business, and Google in particular, is a product of a free, liberal society. It couldn't have existed without freedom. Thus freedom is linked with success. So, as long as Google is innovative, it has that inherent advantage over its Chinese competitors.
> following rules laid out in countries that it operates in

Exactly my point. Google can choose not to operate in countries where the rules are too egregiously antithetical to their mission.

> Facebook should have fought a major world power

Facebook is responsible for the damage because Facebook built the tools that enabled bad actors to hack democracies and Facebook profited from it (in the short term).

Google is in a similar position. Should they build the tools that enable systematic repression and profit from it?

Sure, they can claim they're "only following orders" but when has that ever worked out well?
I've been culling my book collection every time I move. During my last move in March I discarded a lot of books with sentimental value that were really just taking up space. Examples: my college textbooks on projective geometry and abstract algebra. I always loved how the more interesting the math, the thinner and more dense the textbook is. A pile of computer-related books. It's telling what I kept from that shelf: K&R's The C Programming Language. Stevens' Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment (I bought the former in 1993 and the latter in 1995, and they're both still useful from time-to-time.).

What I have left are books I haven't read, but plan to, and books with extreme sentimental value.

District? County? Government?
I see, interesting. Thank you!
Nailed. I tried to convey both things. First how America is blocking some countries for political reasons linked with democracy and liberty. On the other side of the spectrum there is the need to trade with some shady regimes. This is the side in which America needs to be more firm. Regarding China, we should not celebrate that an American company legitimates this censorship. Moreso (more-so?) when the company itself made billions on top of a technology designed for sharing information in an open way.
I take it most people agree, however the ramification of this would essentially be to breakup Google and ban storage of data deemed too sensitive.
That paper looks at the 41 year period from 1959 to 2000, so the fact that Australia hasn't had a recession for the 17 years after that is fairly significant.

Some good points, but : 0 comment on this thread when I started it (obviously), and yet the situation seemed real enough for 2 persons to take notice of it.
It is morally wrong to buy up tons of land, then forbid others to walk across it. Land should be for everyone, not just for a select few, especially since land was not created by the owner.

How about crows who, without having been trained to do so, collect items that they have no inherent need for and cannot eat - small pieces of metal and such - and then gift them to humans who feed them?
Your comment is absolutely correct, except for one word: "now". Humans didn't radically change in the last several thousand years. We have always been this way.
She is also a consummate politician, who has been known to say misleading and inflammatory things for political gain. She has also been busy steaming leftwards, a move that may endear her to young hyper-liberal voters, but does very little to help my country move past the political chasm that has opened up, and is crippling our government.

I don't think that she is a bad person, but I do believe that she is bad for American politics right now.

> In a third-world country, I'd probably prefer being safely indoors at school

That's a ridiculous generalization. Most developing countries have lower crime rates than some American inner cities. Heck, many developing countries are safer than some developed countries.
Now this is something I can get behind.
Fact Labs | Founding Engineer | San Francisco and New York (NYC) | Onsite or Remote (US only) | Full Time

Building models in spreadsheets is broken. Spreadsheet models break down when you alter them, modularize them, or add more collaborators. Analysts in banking, investment management, and operations have gotten by with spreadsheets but not without enormous time and effort spent hacking around their many limitations.

Fact Labs has developed a more powerful, more collaborative modeling paradigm that is inspired by logic programming and applied ontology yet is still accessible to sophisticated but non-programmer analysts. We are a small, funded, early-stage team with significant domain experience with our target customers. The team previously worked together on a distributed search and data management startup and sold the company a few years back.

What we are looking for:

Fast, deliberate learners eager to translate concept into practice OR experienced hands ready to take significant design ownership

Strong computer science fundamentals, including algorithms and data structures

Experience with one of the following through professional, academic, or personal work:

- Database design and implementation (query processing/planning, database/storage engines)

- Language design and implementation (parser generators, interpreters, virtual machines, compilers)

- Logic programming (Prolog, Datalog, SAT/SMT solvers, etc.)

- Optimization (constraint satisfaction, combinatorial optimization, linear programming, etc.)

Language experience: C / Rust

Self-starting attitude with strong communication skills (especially written)

The modeling experience we’re building is unlike anything out there. If you believe that spreadsheets are not the last word in end-user programming, reach out to us (stephen [at] fac.tt) and tell us a little about yourself (bio, resume, or LinkedIn). We’d love to hear from you and show you what we’ve been up to!

Of all of your examples, the one that comes closest to matching fake cakes is the fake engine noises that many vehicles play over speakers. A key difference is that most consumers are unaware that their car's engine noise may be fake, and if they find out they feel defrauded and tend to get upset.[a] The Washington Post calls fake engine noise the auto industry's "dirty little secret."[b]

In all your other examples, consumers are at least getting something of value. Cheap houses provide actual housing, at less cost. Knock-off clothes provide actual nice-looking clothing, at less cost. Rented Ferraris provide the actual enjoyment of driving a Ferrari, for less cost. Taking selfies on vacation spots provide some people with a temporary superficial pleasure from "showing off" to their friends.

What value does fake food provide when it is used only for display and no effort is made to pretend it's real?

You don’t even have to love GCP to want quality database options outside of AWS.

As far as I can tell, it would be a great move for Citus because right now they are competing against Aurora PG within AWS. On GCP and Digital Ocean they have no equivalent competitor in the datacenter.

With the rest of a company infrastructure on GCP, you’re not likely to make a move just for Citus sake either.

FTA

> 5. None of this means that teacher evaluation "doesn’t work." Rather, the point is that it’s much more complicated and much harder to do well than advocates, the Gates Foundation, or these districts initially anticipated.

There is clearly more to 'improving student education than isolating individual teachers as a cause', but average effectiveness of the faculty of a program is going to be a fairly defining metric.

What if we focus on evaluating the technique rather than the teacher to take a little bit of the vindictiveness out of the discussion and more properly equip those that are entering the field? Today new K12 teachers in the US are given basic skills around classroom management, building student relationships and the technical substrate required to teach the material. From there, young teachers learn on the fly from the staff they work with (usually the first problem), their own intuition and whatever resources and experiences are available to them.

Clearly there is some kind of spectrum, Richard Feynman vs Ben Stein in Ferris Beuller's Day Off, how do you decompose those differences in a way that you can measure their component contribution to overall effectiveness and build the most important ones up in those that are just entering the field. Maybe there are different 'roles' in teaching that could be aligned to personality types...the 'inspirers' and the 'questioners' and the 'fortifiers' and the 'ass kickers'.

I don't know the answer. I do know there are good teachers and great teachers and ones that are ten years overdue for a different career and I feel that it's worth continued time and energy sorting out what makes it that way.
I didn't know opposing the brutal Syrian dictatorship got people labeled "Gestapo," but here we are.
Dahlia Lights | Mobile Engineer | Bay Area, CA | Full Time | Onsite | http://www.dahlialights.com

Dahlia Lights is building the first computer vision enabled lighting companion. Our sensing module is installed in a corner and works with smart lights like Philips Hue to map a room and its lighting. With this information we automatically generate a range of lighting scenes for your favorite activities. It’s like having your very own lighting designer! We can also detect presence so your lights will turn on when you enter a room, and only turn off once you leave. You can also set up your lights to change depending on what’s going on in a room. For example, you can set your lights to fade into a reading mode when you sit in your favorite reading chair at night.

Job Description
As a Mobile Engineer at Dahlia Lights, you will be a core member of the engineering team defining and building a new kind of lighting product that will bring great joy to people’s lives. Since you will be an early member of the team, you will need to learn quickly while contributing to the product and company in many ways. You will have a lot of freedom and say in defining the technologies and features we develop.

Your focus will be on developing our mobile app using React Native. This includes developing the UI, the front-end architecture, and working with smart product APIs. Ideally, you will also be able to help out with other engineering problems such as maintaining back-end services and databases. Our mobile app is the main way our users interact with our product, making it an incredibly important component to the product experience. A focus on user experience with an attention to detail is incredibly important.
Fantastic work! After the last few feature-packed releases, I'm happy to see a bugfix one. Upgrading should be a breeze.
