I'm particularly excited about the prospects in Colombia and Mexico. Brazil has large potential too. What works well in Colombia easily translates to the whole Andes region (Ecuador, Peru, Chile).

Note some large startup successes in the region already. Cabify and Rappi, (both of which I passed on and now regret) have created massively valuable companies.

Iraq Vet Shares Heartbreaking Response to Bush Trashing Trump at McCain Funeral
Ask HN: Resources to cover an Electrical Engineering degree curriculum?
I recently developed interest in Electrical/Computer Engineering, but since I have a full-time job now, I can't sacrifice the time to pursue a full-time bachelor's degree. I have a background in mathematics and Software Engineering. What online courses/books/blogs/kits would you recommend to match an Engineering bachelor's degree curriculum?
I think the idea is that in a (small c) conservative community, everybody has the same religion and goes to the same church, say, and that fosters community spirit. In a more (small l) liberal society, people are more free to figure out religion for themselves and do their own thing, but that contributes to social atomisation.

This isn’t specific to religion, that’s just an example (but I think a pretty useful one).
"in London" suggests that geography is the primary driver of your first-hand experience, rather than tech stack or company type. I've been working in London for a decade, and i don't think i've ever used either Gitlab or CircleCI for CI!

That said, i haven't used Jenkins for several years either.

I disagree. The having to lift a heavy weight to regain access to your phone is a feature.
It's even worse that, long after nuclear power has lost on economic terms, the tech community still can't get over their infatuation with it.

Yes, people sometimes had irrational fears. Yes, probabilities are unfortunately difficult to intuitively grasp.

But it's not safety that doomed nuclear power, quite obviously: countries such as Russia and (to a lesser degree) China care little about environmental concerns. Nuclear power is simply too expensive.

It's also surprising that the incredible improvements wind, and especially solar power have seen over the last decade or so are largely not the result of far-sighted technologists, but of the universally-despised political class: subsidising solar power production in Germany, as one example, must be among the most efficient government programs in history.

Latacora | Chicago, Remote (USA)

You could pick a startup to do security work for. Or you could join our team and work for lots of startups, all at once. Latacora runs whole security teams for startups. We're a weird kind of consultancy: we have only one kind of client, and we work full-time with them for 6-18 months, doing everything every startup security team does, from software security to cryptography design to AWS and container lockdown.

Our team has been doing security work together since 2005. And for almost as long, we've been hiring people who read these kinds of HN comments, in our own weird way. We don't care about resumes or your previous work experience. We don't care how much security work you've done before. All we care about is whether you're interested in, engaged with, can lock in on our kinds of technical problems: finding security gaps and flaws, fixing them, and building software to mechanize the process.

More than you could want to know about our hiring process: https://latacora.com/careers

We're just starting to ramp up hiring and I'm a bit of a mess with it, but our process is better than it ever was at Matasano. No phone screens. We'll prep you for our hiring challenges, and give you a practice challenge to mess with. We're good at this. If you're interested in doing security work, and you can code, you can't waste my time.

>Even people with integrity will eventually be corrupted because it's the only way to get things done.

Could you expand on this, or maybe give an example?
Awesome job and setup.
Dysfunction largely isn't normal. The universe of things that are going well is far greater than that of issues that threaten us.

It's just that we really don't pay attention to the earth not being destroyed by a meteor today.
Yet another over engineered site.
I used to work at the Guardian. My understanding is that the font was commissioned specifically for the Guardian, and they had exclusive usage rights for a few years only.
For me the frustration is moving from a machine that never once got in my way or stepped on my toes (the 2015) to one that does constantly. The typos, touch-bar brushes, speaker pops and stuck keys, were they on a machine that I had no prior experience with, probably wouldn't be so frustrating. But, coming from years of reliable use with the previous generation of machines, they stand out immensely and cause major annoyance just because they seem so unnecessary. I was conditioned to expect much more from MacBooks
Ask HN: Am I a fraud?
For years I’ve been working in a particular space. Built a name for myself. Got invited to speak at events etc. unfortunately, there wasnt much money to be made. I enjoyed building products, which kept giving me work from a totally different industry. It kept growing and I’ve been able to build a flow of work where I continue to build products but for a different audience/industry. It’s paying well so I wanted to switch my business from focussing on the previous niche, to this new one.
But I feel like a fraud. Am I abandoning this previous mission just to follow the dollars? The work is the same. Enjoyable in both industries. The pivot would move me away from a mission into a new industry with not much of a north star.

I’m afraid I’ll regret it. Have I been an imposter all this time?

Any advice?
Hardware generation or human generation? :)
I agree this weakness comes from plugins. Because the plugins are not part of the main code base you can't introduce new functionality without breaking them. So you end up with a slow pace of development while you still end up breaking installations on upgrade.

If you add functionality to the main codebase you can keep running your tests to ensure nothing breaks. This is what I think they will do with Cloud Native Jenkins. Essentially abandoning plugins.

Jenkins Evergreen keeps only the essential plugins. This means they can run better tests. And when introducing new functionality you can update the essential plugins.

With GitLab CI we add new functionality in the main code base, avoiding the need for needless configuration and ensuring everything still works when updating.

Mystery of the cargo ships that sink when their cargo suddenly liquefies
SMBetray – SMB MiTM Tool with a Focus on Attacking Clients Through File Con
Apple's profit margins may be high enough to cover external costs, but is Apple fully compensating rare-earth mining communities in developing countries for the environmental effects of sourcing iPhone materials? Is Apple helping communities deal with mountains of disposed Apple-brand electronics? I imagine not, or at least not fully.

The government would have to assess a tax or fee that covers those externalities, and then Apple would be forced to deal with it. Either pass the tax to consumers to save the profit margin, or control externalities to remove the tax at the cost of profit margin.

Presently, Apple products, like all electronic products (and indeed, most products of any kind), are priced without regard to external costs. That the profit margins may high enough to pay for these external costs is only a coincidence due to Apple's silly-high prices.
On point 3: The business model for self driving is still quite uncertain. Will they own the cars? if so, that's quite a substantial investment, and it will change completely the economics of the offer. If they rent them from Ford? then it will be interesting to watch which company will extract more value (profit) from this. Even at that stage, they will have competition from other autonomous drive systems (Waymo)
It was just last week that you saw the Commodore 64 ad on TV. Now that MASH was over, you were in the market for something new to do on Monday nights. This Commodore 64 thing looked even better than the Apple II that Rudy’s family had in their basement.*

Alternative version:

It's 1983 and your dad decides to buy a personal computer. The C64 is too expensive at $595, so he buys a VIC 20 (introduced at $295, probably $200 by '84).

You plug it in to the television downstairs and, after mentally tuning out the hum from the RF converter, you start to enjoy gems like GORF and Radar Rat Race (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1LRkON9XTOk).

You try to read the included user manual, with its helpful computer chip themed cartoon mascot explaining things like strings, but none of it makes sense because you're eight. You and your sister spend hours reading aloud and typing in bytecode listings from then-popular computer magazines. Imagine spending an hour transcribing hex codes, only to type the run command and have it crash.

If, on the off chance you found the errors and got the program to run, you'd find it was wildly over-hyped in the description. You didn't want to waste your work, so you'd save it to the tape drive that used audio cassette tapes.

A few days later, you'd try to load the program from the cassette tape and find that it was corrupted. I never once got a saved program to load from that thing, it only successfully read commercially published software.

The nostalgia is largely inaccurate. It was an era of immense frustration. And I never saw any C64 television ad, probably because we only had three television stations and no market to speak of for personal computers.

Incidentally, there's no way the kids in Stranger Things would have had those high end walkie talkies. They'd have had the crappy ones that only work to maybe 100 yards and emit static nonstop.
No, I get it. I'm saying that all those tchotchkes sold at a premium won't even cover the cost of recycling the plastic, much less fund the whole project.
For compilation it is a beast. Built a dual 7551 Epyc workstation for myself recently, it builds llvm in ~160 seconds from scratch. https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1809030-AR-DUAL7551867
This is probably the best job posting I’ve ever read (not that I read many or think deeply about them, though).

Thanks for writing it - folks, take note.
Unfortunately, it’s not very easy to do. If you want syntax validation, you can validate it by POSTing to an endpoint on your Jenkins master.

If you want a “sandbox”, you can just replay a pipeline run and make modifications. Both are not very useful IMO and slow down development pace substantially. Don’t get me started on integrating groovy shared libs.
The Atlantic | Front-End Developer | Washington, DC | onsite

We’re looking for an experienced developer to join The Atlantic’s Revenue Team, a new part of the Product Team focused on the hardest problem on the Internet: how do we fund journalism in ways that provide a world-class reader experience?

Tech stack is ES6/SASS/Gulp/Rollup with a little Node and Django as needed, and a fair amount of technical autonomy. We're making platforms/frameworks/new capabilities with an emphasis on site performance and the reader experience. It should be a lot of variety and creative problem solving.

AdQuick | Senior Software Engineer, Full-time | Venice, CA | Onsite or Remote | https://www.adquick.com

AdQuick is Kayak for Outdoor Advertising. Our mission is to make outdoor ads easy to both buy and measure (think billboards, posters, transit ads, etc.).

We are a 2 year old startup with 17 people total and an engineering team of 7. The founding team consists of startup veterans who were early at Instacart. We are funded by Garry Tan & Alexis Ohanian's VC firm, Initialized.

We are doing some really interesting work with ingesting data from many different sources (Google AdWords/Analytics, Facebook Ads, Yelp, Foursquare, Demographics, etc.) and then visualizing it on maps. We use that data to help our customers plan and execute campaigns. Then after campaigns, we use some of that data plus other sources to help our customers measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.

We're looking for:

- Experience in Ruby, Rails, React, Webpack, Postgres or similar technologies

- 3+ years experience in working on production systems

- Strong sense of ownership and product sense

Shoot us an email at jobs@adquick.com if this sounds interesting to you!
Zen is already light on vector units, and microcodes 256-bit operations.

It's certainly possible to build a more lightweight core, but most of that work is reducing the complexity of the out-of-order machinery. The FPU+ALU is under a quarter of each Zen core. https://en.wikichip.org/w/images/c/cb/amd_zen_core_%28annota...
I find data that chooses 1880 to be extremely counter productive. This [1] is an image of longterm temperature estimations from NASA. When somebody sees this they're inclined to ask themselves why exactly do these sort of data start at 1880? It misses the critical cyclical pattern of temperature changes and starts at the lowest low possible to present a misleading picture indicating complete clarity of a linear pattern. To be clear I think we're almost certainly playing a significant role in the current rate of temperature changes, but presenting misleading data completely removed from context is a really great way to completely undermine faith in everything you say.

Doesn't the track data contain the card number? (Not looked into mag stripe cards in a while so my knowledge of them is rusty). If it does doesn't the card number itself contain a check digit? If so if a skimmer recorded everything it saw passing though it the data could be recalculated like how rocqua stated.

Sure the data wouldn't be immediately available and require some post processing but unless the skimmer only recorded a fixed length I can see that method of protection bypassed very quickly and easily.

I know your posting about the skim detection tool but it just seems to me like a bad method of trying to defeat skimmers. I would guess such systems are used for trying to detect a "Lebanese loop" which traps the card when it tries to eject.
There was a recent study that concluded that the loss of sunlight under such a scheme would have a large effect on agricultural yields: even if it succeeds to stop the rise in temperature, it would be net-negative at least in regards to food production.
