SEEKING FREELANCER | React Front End | Atlanta, GA | Remote

GoBlock USA is looking for a creative and entrepreneurial web designer and React JS developer for contract. You will work with our lead developer and the technology team to design and develop the front end of blockchain enabled games.

This is a great opportunity for someone to work with experienced blockchain developers and learn the new blockchain technologies. Back end concepts are already in code, and we need a creative and aspiring person to improve our front-end user experience.

This is a contract position and remote work, so there is plenty of flexibility with this team.

Most important, you should be creative, driven, and flexible. We are a small startup, and who knows what we will get into!
Of course, you also need experience and skill in React JS design and development. HTML, JavaScript, Git, Web3, AWS, user accounts, mail integration, desktop and mobile applications are all the type of skills and experiences that are good.
If you have experience in blockchain tech like Truffle, Drizzle, Ethereum, then all the better – but not required.
We want to partner with someone that will bring creative, simple, and elegant front-end designs, and be able to implement those designs.

We are in Atlanta, so that would be nice if you were too – but not required. And, fluent English - read, write, speak - is a requirement.

To apply, send an email to ron@goblock.co with resume and a link to some of your work.

Thanks!
> I'm not convinced that centralization in its current iteration (cloud operators controlling huge infrastructures) is the best long run

You might be interested in checking the InterPlanetary File System [1] which attempt to tackle this among other issue.

I can't find it now but I remember the doc mentioning the need for a future space network to be decentralized, so there is that too.

If anyone's interested in what these are called, they are called polygots.

Who knows, but I’ve learned to be perpetually disappointed by Thiel in any situation involving morals, ethics, or intellectual integrity. I can’t imagine that he would waste time on this stuff, but at the same time, he’s shown that it’s certainly not beneath him.
I dont think it matters what they belive or dont. They are one person. What matters is that some portion of thier viewers do and take action upon those beliefs. Changing your vote because of some ranting youtube clip is one thing, picking up a gun and going to a pizza joint another. Infowars was a start, but youtube needs to get on top of this asap.

(Something changed for me last month. Youtube started suggesting very bad vids. I watched a series about german castles, some of which were used in WW2 by you know who. I guess that made me a skinhead according to youtubed robots. I deleted all those cookies asafp.)
"LIBERALS"

There's this cross section of people who physically wretch and convulse at hearing that word, and can be whipped into an animalistic rage with the mention of it.

When I hear it used in a certain way, by certain media outlets, it's obvious that they're gunning for a pavlovian response.

It's incredibly manipulative, and the real problem I have with it, is that an astounding number of people eat it up, eager to froth at the mouth and start speaking in tongues, wailing and gnashing teeth.

It's funny, but maybe three quarters of all people are looking for a reason to just unload on someone, at any given moment. They really want the lid lifted, so they can vent some rage onto another person. People may differ on how they rationalize the way they find targets, but one common trait unites them, in that more than half of everyone is looking for a fight.
Hello ! Actually, food products without barcode aren't supported by Labeleat, but it is written in the TO DO list. It could be nice to obtain the analysis of a product without barcode. However, the database on which Labeleat is based do not offer that feature. So a solution could be to add a sceen where the user can input nutritional values of the product without barcode and get an analysis immediately. But the product wouldn't be saved on the main database, just on the user phone. What do you think about it ?

Web-sites are better if you use an ad blocking service. Sure, some sites like the Wall Street Journal won't let you read content with an ad-blocker enabled unless you're a paying subscriber, but I can almost always get similar content elsewhere.

But yes, that's one of the problems with taking one form of medium (a physical newspaper) and abstracting it into a new format.

When the original Windows came out, they had to figure out which low-res icons would most accurately represent their real-world counterparts. But that was decades ago.

Now, things (icons, UI, design) are more symbolic of what we want to do, not the way they were.

I feel like newspapers, sometimes, try to keep their newspaper look and feel, all the while, adding a crap-ton of useless content. I'm there for an article, not for all the rest of it.

I have a few friends who work in the news(paper) industry, and I know that the job of photographer, in some newsrooms, has also taken on the role of web-developer, and even reporter. I mean, you're on the scene taking pictures, why not ask questions too? A difficult job made more difficult by lowering circulation levels, and lower budgets.

So I guess the best way to encourage good on-line news is to subscribe to the digital formats, and let them know when they aren't doing their job?
I was expecting something about EM pulse weapons or a hack involving EM, but unless I’m greatly mistaken this appears to be someone’s persecutorial delusion about voices being “beamed” into their head. I spent some time working with people with schizophrenia and this is very familiar territory. I’m sorry for what the author is going through, and would strongly suggest seeking help, although I understand that’s a scary prospect and I’m likely to be incorporated into their delusional framework. Even if the author is disinterested in medication, talk therapy can be helpful.

Vector instructions are certainly usable for scalar computation, although it doesn't make much sense --- you basically just use one piece of one vector and throw away all the other results.

Fibonacci is a toy example but illustrates where the vector instructions do become useful: if you want to compute the n'th term of various Fibonacci-like sequences with different starting conditions but the same recurrence, then you could do them in parallel using those instructions.

Yeah, using Cython feel dirty because of that. I miss the opportunity to step into during debug and have to use workarounds to do profiling.
Yes, unless you're offline - in which case it stays in the cache until a connection is available.
> Apple and Facebook want walled gardens where they control the content and give the providers whatever revenue they consider "fair", with the huge benefit that the stories would be fast to load and provide a friendly, uniform interface.

Funny, this really looks to me like you just described Google and AMP.
Before for certain.
Here is a NY Times article discussing the topic: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/23/climate/rice-global-warmi...
I am skeptical that even running 50km with good hydration and fancy shoes on well-maintained paths would be considered extreme if you roll back the clock more than a couple thousand years. Long distance running is a core competency of humanity -- I've run ten miles while being, objectively, out of shape.

If you remove the claims of how extreme this is, all this really says is that older Americans adopt exercise as a hobby they enjoy with seriousness. This is... not a crisis.
> We can generates HTTP sites at will (all you need is an IP address);

That's not really so easy from a consumer device with a dynamic IP.

> - When you talk about pubkeys with coordination, there are obvious problems like the last paragraph of my original comment, right? Again, I'm probably misinterpreting what you're saying.

You do need to manage keys and pair devices, yeah.

> My takeaway is it's simply a higher-level protocol than HTTP, so it's unfair to compare it to HTTP. Are there potential benefits from being decentralized? Yes. But most of what you listed comes from being designed as a higher-level protocol.

The broader concept of Beaker is to improve on the Web, and we do that by making it possible to author sites without having to setup or manage a server.

Decentralization is a second-order effect. Any apps that use dat for the user profile & data will be storing & publishing that data via the user's device. Those apps will also be able to move some/all of their business logic clientside, because theyre just using Web APIs to read & write. Add to that the forkability of sites, and you can see why this can be decentralizing: it moves more of the Web app stack into the client-side where hopefully it'll be easier for users to control.
You might have very low standards for being out of shape.
Just want to point out that Beaker uses dat, not ipfs, so its sites are pubkey-addressed and therefore mutable.
It's consistent with the wage trends in the economy at large: if you're at the director level you can expect stratospheric wage increases year over year.

Everyone else, well real wages have been flat or declining, with some recent shorter term gains. Real income has increased by a whopping 5.1% in 12 years. [1] If you shift the timeframe back to 1978, real wages are unchanged. [2]

Supply and demand has become fundamentally broken in the labor market. It doesn't work anymore.

Security is always a blessing (it keeps your stuff secure) and a curse - people are lazy and don't want to use it because it generally causes pain points. Remembering to bring your keys, remembering increasingly-complex passwords and PINs, remembering to lock your doors, click this security warning, check that checkmark box. Security is a pain. But it's also a necessity. I like the idea of more isolated sandboxes, reducing third-party tracking cookies, third-party content. I go to my bank's web-site, why do I want to grab information from outside of my bank? Anyway...it's good to see Firefox is trying something new. It'll be interesting to see how well it works in the wild.
>how about getting back control over the Web?

That's the point.

Disclosure: I'm working in this field.
Great write-up. Great entrepreneurial tenacity. Would love more insight on the wireless challenges and how you tackle them? I wonder if a software monitoring app could detect increased noise and automate channel hopping.

Surely that must exist -- on the other hand, you mentioned the vendors do everything to lower the BOM, so perhaps they are lazy and this software is needed. Could be a good OSS project.

Ask HN: How many cloud / SaaS services do you use?
I recently did an accounting of the number of services I use, and it’s more than 10. And I’m a three person shop. How many do you use and how big is your team?
True but you don't need much of a server to run many of the "server side" things a single user needs.

Browsers are <liberal> in what they </accept>
So Mimosa, one of the hardware vendors we use, does actually have this built-in to their firmware. The issue is, from what I've seen, is that it hops around too much. It also moves to congested channels sometimes. I'm sure there's a way to perfect it, we just don't have the time at the moment (I also don't believe they provide full API access yet, so I'm not even sure if we can change it without creating an automated UI tool that clicks around on a browser.)
This is disturbing, but, really, is it surprising? The GOP is in control of all three branches of government in America, and they're always very pro-corporate power. Equifax's data breaches were caused by criminally-insufficient security controls, by a company large enough to know better. They could have secured the data and chose not to. They could have brought in third-party auditors, yet chose to not spend the money. So it's on them. Hopefully, we can hold Equifax accountable at some point, when the politics become a little more consumer-friendly again. Right now, it's almost 100% on the side of corporate rights.

Vegans have a lot more influence in the media than most people realize. There are a lot of writers who use their positions to push veganism.

They're often willing to mislead.

A non-activist writer would have given us answers to some obvious questions like "What exactly does a 300lb vegan eat in a typical week?"

Instead it moves into naked activism.
As oh_sigh says their castings can be used as compost, and the roaches themselves can probably be used to make fish or animal feed. In fact their poop might too. People might hesitate at the prospect of eating roaches, or shit, but pass it all through some tilapia and they’re thrilled.
That page uses the same source I do, which is the USDA's databases. The USDA gives a protein mass fraction of 0.0196 for baked potatoes.[1] Since

60kg*1.4g/kg/0.0196=4386g

a 60kg powerlifter would have to eat 4.3kg of baked potato to satisfy their daily protein prescription by eating baked potato alone. That is 3986kcal of potatoes, which is 1.3 times the TDEE we assumed, but in line with the food energy requirements of a high-level athlete in training (about twice their basal metabolic rate).

I wouldn’t call it a polyglot as that has to deal with computer programs, no?
Before taxes, he has about 100k subs who contribute around $5 each.

Loosing 40k subs is pretty significant, however I am not sure how that is possible in just 2 days. While there is an option to auto renew most twitch subscribers are not automatic, a person is usually watching the stream and chooses to subscribe. When subscription expires they can do so again. Assuming 140k subs are evenly distributed throughout the month the loss from not streaming for 48 hours should be 2/30 * 140k, this comes down to slightly less than 10k. Moreover most of these subs should rejoin once he starts streaming again.

> The unexplained and useless nop is also puzzling. Why is it there? What is it for? The same goes for the many other instructions which aren't actually contributing to the calculation, and initially made me think it was compiler output when I first glanced over the code. Writing a program that performs the given task is relatively straightforward even in Asm, but your solution is unnecessarily complex.

It is explained:

> Line 5 is a no-operation (or noop), which means that it is a filler instruction and doesn’t actually do anything but take up a CPU clock cycle. Older versions of GDB require this proceeding _start, and so I have left it in for these examples.
I just wanted to add that I regularly run many different Firefox profiles in parallel, and it definitely supports that feature.

Granted the UI could use some work, but if you make a shortcut that brings up the profile selector it works pretty OK.

Speaking from first hand experience,

You go there early morning

Fit bodies juxtaposed with natural signs of age-ing.
If you correlate facial expressions with age,
you will find a noticeable correlation between age and seriousness.
The point of going to a gym is to enjoy the process of replenishing your muscular strength. If you take that too seriously, that points to age-related associations you've developed that do not belong in the gym. The best way to learn about this is to consult an experienced trainer. All trainers in private gyms are in the peak of their fitness years and hence better qualified to determine what is best for you.

> Political energies that would have otherwise been used to create rapid change. I think the entire point is to create a relatively stable climate for business investment.

The flip side of this is, once a few bad decisions seep into the legal system, its incredibly hard to take them out. Which sets the country many years back while others develop rapidly.

And this fits the stereotype of older generations, and indeed Americans in general, failing to read or do even superficial research. This guy streams his life to tens of thousands of people... yeah, he's gonna be a little self-obsessed. It's all but mandatory for streamers to fuel the performance.

The guy streams 70 hours per week minimum[1]. That two day -more like one day- break cost him over $100,000, and cut his following (and salary, I guess? No clue how Twitch works.) by almost 20%[2]. There's no option to pick more PTO and trade off salary. He's stuck with this. Even as a "temporary" solution, that shit will take years off your life, and there are people who do this to just scrape by.

It's illustrative of how shitty a "profession" it is that the top streamers have to put in such an insane amount of work with no compromise ever.

POC||GTFO issue 2 (from 2013) was a PDF and a bootable OS at the same time:

From section 8:

"A careful reader may have noticed that a bootable OS image was hidden in the last issue of PoC k GTFO, as one of the files in its dual PDF/ZIP structure (if you haven’t, download and extract it now!). This time, though, let’s hide it in plain sight. You will find by running ‘qemu-system-i386 -fda pocorgtfo02.pdf’
that the PDF file you are reading is also a bootable disk image."

https://greatscottgadgets.com/pocorgtfo/pocorgtfo02.pdf

And issue 3:

"This file, pocorgtfo03.pdf, complies with the PDF, JPEG, and ZIP file formats. When encrypted with AES in CBC mode with an IV of 5B F0 15 E2 04 8C E3 D3 8C 3A 97 E7 8B 79 5B C1 and a key of “Manul Laphroaig!”, it becomes a valid PNG file.

I suffer from imposter syndrome, for one. Even with the experience I have, I never feel good enough. Also, I frequently get stuck working hard to the point of burn out at a place and then don't have the energy to find the next thing. Also, come out exhausted from the current gig, not motivated for the next one.

I think partially, the market where I am, employers are quite greedy and it can be difficult to find places that have good work/environments and the higher pay. It's a bit of a tradeoff, choose one or the other. It's been getting better as more cutting edge companies have moved to the area over the years, but still, the good stuff happens elsewhere.

I tried to get career counseling before to get some help, however, they recommended I start my own business rather than continue to look for a traditional job.

I know that would be a hard road (been through several startups already). I'm not afraid of the hard work, I just have some familial limitations that make it infeasible at the moment (trying to adopt).

That said, your point is well taken, and my friends and colleagues often recommend the same. I'm not sure if I'm an optimist and keep hoping the place I'm at will recognize and reward my contribution (unlikely), or I'm some kind of work sado-masochist. Not sure!
