How Location Tracking Actually Works on Your Smartphone
I don't agree with you. Let's take Apple products. You are saying that the apple products' price wouldn't cover'the full end-to-end cost of the item, which includes the cost of disposal (collection, sorting, recycling) and the cost of fixing the issues caused by for example, CO2 emitted during the production process'? I doubt it.
If you want tiny, the Elecom WRH-583BK2-S is as wide and high as two RJ45 jacks (yes it has two RJ45 ports) and like 2.5" deep (65 × 35 × 20.5 mm). If there's a smaller dual Ethernet wifi router I have yet to learn of it. Please let us know if you know of a smaller one!

No? You just said so yourself? "depends on merchant policy" Why would an attacker choose a merchant whose policy denies their use case?

Why would an attacker opt for a magstripe transaction or a contactless transaction?

I'm surprised that I haven't seen more of this announcement in my media streams. I'm not a big fan of Jenkins, I find it overly complex and a Swiss army knife.

When you can do anything, you often end up with poor implementations (IMO). If the tools you have are restrictive but useful enough, I find it easier to adopt my workflow for the tools instead of demanding that my complex workflow fit into this one tool.

What I would give for a MacBook (or the equivalent) with an e-ink screen. Not some cheap Android semi-computer-tablet, but a full on laptop. No dual screen gimmicks, just a laptop that can be used outside (readable) with the improved battery life from what would be such an awesome screen.

My understanding as to why this may never exist is because there's not much of a market and the refresh rate is too slow. But I can dream.
AI and electronic health records could help suicide prevention efforts
Nice to know there is a plan and it's refreshing to see that they can understand most of the problems from the customer perspective now.

I hope they address the constant shifts in focus with this plan and Jenkins can secure it's market spot, it really deserves it from a historical point of view in the least. It should not be a Nokia or a Xerox, it's better than that and has been a major tool for the industry.

The whole CRD is a great way to move forward, but Argo is looking great right now and it's way ahead, if they manage to finish it soon and make it production ready it will be hard to beat it.

The problem is that every segment has it's player now and there are some big ones, GiLab, GoCD, Spinnaker, Concourse... So many tools and the difference is that most of them have more focus than Jenkins does, they also have newer code and more speed, each has a niche but Jenkins has the market share, it will be an interesting match.

Jenkins is fighting a bit of a uphill battle but with a huge army.

I hope they keep it simple, focus in being the best in one or 2 things and then scale to other areas, that is my 2 cents.
Polyteknium | Wrocław, Poland | Various Engineering Roles | Remote | Contract-based

We’re a full-service product and engineering team based out of Wrocław, Poland. We build web applications and custom enterprise software from start-to-finish for companies in the U.S.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

* Software developers (eg. back-end in Python/Ruby/Node, front-end in React/Vue or other)

* Software architects (eg. software patterns, distributed systems)

* Experienced DevOps engineers (unix sys admin, containerization, AWS or other hosted)

* Experienced data engineers (AWS experience, SQL/NoSQL, data streams)

Ask HN: Advice for CS PhD Dropout Still Interested in Research
A few years ago I dropped out of my CS PhD program due to family reasons that were interfering with my studies; I plan to return one day. After dropping out I had a nice job working in an advanced development team at a large enterprise-focused company that was an applied research job, but unfortunately my company laid off my division. I later found a job at a different company doing DevOps/SRE work, but the transition from doing research to active firefighting turned out to be too much for me.

I'm currently trying to find another position (I'm based in Silicon Valley). I love doing research, but unfortunately it's very difficult to find a research position. I recently had an epiphany that the tech industry during this past decade has moved away from the types of applied research labs that HP, IBM, Intel, and Sun had in the 2000s and is moving toward a "research-oriented software engineering" model that Google pioneered and is increasingly becoming the dominant type of research position. While I'm capable of working as a software engineer (I had successful software engineering internships in the past with Google), the interview process for full-time software engineering roles has always been very difficult for me. I can answer FizzBuzz questions just fine, and I can also answer straightforward questions about algorithms and data structures, but I have a hard time with the more puzzle-like programming questions found on sites like Codility and HackerRank. I also don't have any side projects or open source work to show since I spent my undergrad years focused on preparing for grad school, and I spent my grad school years focused on coursework and research. I thought about becoming a lecturer at a community college or a university; while it's too late for the fall semester/quarter, it may be possible for the next term.

I'm very interested in receiving some advice about possible next steps for someone in my situation. Thank you.
"it's just text and daydreams, and they are alone in their house again."

The wording on this struck me as poignant. It almost sounds like it should be part of a poem or philosophical treatise. Have you used this phrasing before?
While I can see some wouldn't accept that level of information gathering, most of that doesn't tell the app author much.

It's not like a web-app that uses GA, which in turn means google's internal profile of you shows another app you use/etc.

The creepy level tracking that GA is possible of in a browser isn't quite there in a native app - there's no intrinsic data storage system like cookies that's shared between all native apps and sent automatically with http requests.

I wonder if it's possible to just get the AST out of V8 and not have maintain your own lexer/parser? I also wonder if abstract interpretation might be the way to go to get type information out of the js code which should simplify the generated C++.

SEEKING WORK -- Gainesville, FL -- remote/freelance

I am an experienced Python developer, having used the language in all kinds of areas and situations, including web development (Flask, Django, Pylons, Google App Engine, etc), GUI development, database access (using MS SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres), ORMs, scripting, backend development, automated testing, web crawling/scraping, data extraction and parsing/ETL, etc.

I am looking for full-time or part-time work, either one is fine. If you are looking to get a small project done, or you have an existing project where some maintenance work needs to be done (perhaps on a regular basis), then I would love to hear from you.

I am also available for technical writing (I kept a programming blog for many years, mostly about Python).

(For the record: Although Python is my main programming language, I am also interested in, and have worked with, many other programming languages, including C, D, Delphi, Go, C#/Mono, Ruby, OCaml, Prolog, Lisp, Scheme, etc, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems. I am also available to work on projects in these languages.)

No work on my part at all. TBH, I actually prefer video when I first consume the content (or audio, I am listening to a bunch of podcasts; or video, working just as well as audio), but I want to have something I can comeback to and quickly check when I try to remember specifics from the videos, without the need to go through the entire youtube playlist to find it. Recently, I started keeping notes on podcasts, but I haven't published any of those. Maybe I should.

<shameless-plug>
In fact, I just recorded the 82nd episode of a daily vlog I've been keeping, while developing a new product (haven't published a single episode, yet). Closed beta starts in a few days. I think it's pretty interesting stuff (I meant to do this, ever since I discovered Alex Bloomberg's Startup podcast) and I honestly hope to win-over even folks who prefer print, like yourself. Of course, my main focus is on the product, but it will be absolutely amazing, if even a few people get inspired from the story surrounding its creation.

Cheers!
Some of the stuff mentioned in the linked thread certainly smacks of monopolistic behavior. Given how much Trump hates Bezos, there might be a very real opportunity to get a govt. investigation of Amazon's anticompetetive tactics.
It's not so much that the problem is federation than that the solution is quite clearly not federation alone.

Tools, policies, values, coordination & cooperation, and the syones to create, specify, and use these, are necessary.
Only the former. I did not downvote you.

Hence the penultimate rule in the HN guidelines - "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."
