Sleeper | SF Bay Area | Onsite | Backend (Elixir/Cassandra) | Full-time | $125K-$225K + equity | https://sleeper.app/jobs

Sleeper is a messenger platform for sports fans.

Families, friends, and co-workers use our apps to compete with each other in fantasy leagues, with chat being the primarily activity.

Our mission is to bring existing groups of people closer together through sports. We recently closed our Series A, backed by Tier 1 VCs.

There’s a lot of interesting problems to solve in scalability, data integrity, optimization, and more. Elixir / Cassandra knowledge is not a prerequisite. We also contribute to open source: https://hex.pm/packages/snowflake, https://hex.pm/packages/triton.

Our interview process is straightforward and does not include any whiteboarding. It’s a phone call (20 min), a take-home challenge in the comfort of your own home (2 hours), and an on-site chat about systems architecture + lunch with team (2 hours).

If that interests you, please email weixi@sleeper.app.
There's also the rumor going around that the mini will (finally) get an update this month.
The 5th amendment doesn't apply to citizens, either. It applies to the government.

And the instructions to the government make no mention of citizenship status. "...nor shall [any person] be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."

The 4th amendment likewise applies to the government, and makes no mention of citizenship.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

The 14th amendment: "nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

The government, of course, holds that physical searches at border crossings are reasonable searches, and therefore do not require warrants. Since Riley v. California (2014), SCotUS established that searching the data contents of electronic devices is unreasonable to do after an arrest, and therefore requires probable cause and warrant. They still have not applied that to searches of border-crossers' electronics, and different federal appeals circuits currently hold different positions on it. Hopefully, SCotUS will soon rule that forensic analysis of electronics at border crossings requires individualized suspicion, but the current nominee debacle does not give me much confidence.

I remember seeing a audience decided show at the BSA Jamboree in 1997. I don't remember anything about the content... I can't even recall if it was a video or a live action play, I just remember voting and being willing to think there was a chance the voting was rigged because one of the decisions went a different way than I voted.

I wish they would stop being constrained by making me push the "skip intro" button
Man, I know that conversations on HN are supposed to be constructive, but can I just say: EFF this guy. I've been keeping tabs on this story. This dude just ignores the rulings and locks his gates anyway. He can afford the fines and does not care. Total tale of two cities stuff. Being very wealthy does not exclude you from the rules of the society you choose to live in. People that behave this way are a cancer and its a shame that there aren't more robust means to hold them to account.
This article, which boils down to "if the data seems unlikely from what we know beforehand, throw it the hell out and never look at it again", is the exact opposite of what scientists are taught, and what they are taught - not this article - is the correct approach.
> For perspective, we issued over 9000 biosecurity infringements for people bringing in fresh fruit, meat, honey, etc.

Which is fine, completely reasonable, and unrelated. This isn't necessarily about the number of people getting their phones inspected. A huge problem is with there being no oversight or accountability, which can be abused at several levels.
Hi Mike!

Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations on your success.

I have two questions:

1 - How should I reconsile your statement that you should be the user of your own product, with pivoting several times due to misunderstanding market demands? Were you still your own customer after those pivots?

2 - Since you mention pivots, have you been applying lean startup / customer development practices?
Flinto (YC W18) | Lead Backend Software Engineer | Mexico City | Full-Time | REMOTE | https://flinto.me

Flinto is AliPay for Latin America.

People use Flinto to send peer to peer payments (like Venmo in the US), pay at merchants by scanning QR codes, and pay any phone/utility bill from their smartphone. All this even if they don't have a bank account since besides linking credit/debit cards users can deposit and withdraw cash at any merchant that accepts Flinto as a payment method.

We're looking for a Backend Engineer to lead development of our core platform, servers, and databases.

Job Description: https://flinto.workable.com/j/E2DFA9B727
This is very stupid, imho, because it works just as long as people don't know about it. If I'm a "digital criminal", tomorrow I'll simply bring an empty laptop or phone and have my backup sent to my destination (or directly from the network). Pointless and annoying.
Fracking is about 5000 ft down, aquifers are generally 500 to 2000. What's the mechanism for the contamination?
That's both disturbing and pretty much the level of professionalism I expect from CBP. I wish someone were to cataloging these sorts of incidents, rather than just reading about them in HN threads.

You provide the same high-quality healthcare to everyone because nobody is better than anyone else on account of wealth. Wealthy people don't suddenly need different healthcare when they make money.
The community doesn't need me to tell you that these comments don't pass muster around here, but I do need to say that this is a pattern with the account and it needs to change. Could you please refresh your memory of the guidelines and try not to post dismissively? Even if you would be “right” it doesn't make for good discussion.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
“The effect size is too large” is not the heuristic, and casting the argument that way does it a disservice. The article gives concrete examples of effect sizes that are impossibly large. Examples of penicillin and insurance payouts are not remotely germane to the discussion… the point of “impossibly large” is that the effect is so large that it would almost certainly have other effects that we would notice. This is the difference between “impossibly large” and “surprisingly large”, which your argument ignores.

The exhortation to look at the mechanism is also critical, and ignoring the mechanism is exactly how you end up with the worst inferences… if something is “impossible” or even just “surprising” according to your model you should probably reëvaluate your model.

The Commodore 64 (and I suspect the Spectrum 48K too) got off the COCOM list in 1985 -- but the legally available C64 in Hungary was beyond the means of individuals at the time. It was more used by corporations (well, what went for corporations at the time). OTOH my parents got the ZX Spectrum in Munich heavily discounted because by then it was several years old and did not count as particularly modern. The Amiga 1000 was already released even if not yet widely available.

A community center in an outer district of Budapest have organized a "micro club" every week, I can't find a definite date of when it started, this photo is titled "some time around 1986" http://gpsgames.hu/data/games/2796/2796_1.jpg Every Friday people would haul their various microcomputers to this place and swap programs and chat. Copyright ... we kind of knew it was not "legal" but noone cared.

Those were the days.
You really need to make the presentation more approachable. It would be great if you could get a web developer to do the front-end for you -- the more unfamiliar he/she is to Datomic/Clojure the better, since so are we.

I.e there is so much that I don't grasp with this front-end. Maybe first list Datomic's pros, and then explain how you add to it, what the workflow with hyperfiddle would be, etc etc.

As you say, you have a long way to go, so good luck!
Is there one?

* Refuse and have the phone cracked anyway?

* Refuse letting go of the phone and get arrested?

I'm a PD from this team. Shoot me an email at baathreya @ ebay . com
1) It was a gradual process. We would not have enough money for the whole team, besides, we could not at one day say goodbye to our existing clients. We had quite interesting companies. Therefore, we gradually ceased all new quotes and when some project was ending, we switched employees to the product.

2) We contact them, ask what was the reason, but in general, if they don’t renew, they no longer use the product. Often there is no such a company anymore.

3) Well, for example internal invoicing. They ask better design, more templates, while larger ones used Xero or Quickbooks and they just need integration.
Yeah as I see even the budget Ryzen 3 CPUs are better than those old Xeons
The title tag on osjobs.net has a typo.
I've used it for my university course regarding OS. But after the theorical approach I've found incredibly useful to work directly with the OS-level code (JOS OS, pretty fun), if someone is interested: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012/
Back when I was a kid, there was a pay to enter beach at a nearby lake. It had a fence on both ends running out into the water. My clever brother didn't want to pay a quarter to get in, so he swam around the fence and into the part of the lake where the beach was. The owners caught him and said he had to pay. He said you own the beach, not the lake. So, as long as he didn't use their pier or raft he was allowed.
> Humble Bundle (if they offer a DRM free version; these days a lot of titles just have Steam Keys)

I've been griping lately that Humble Bundle seems increasingly watering down their principles. Early Humble Bundle made it a big deal that they always included DRM free copies and more often than not full soundtracks or soundtracks at a discount. Today's Humble Bundle seems much more and more to "just" be a Steam Key reseller, without DRM free copies of many games, and without access to nearly as large of a percentage of game soundtracks.

(I realize that last is a weird gripe, but there were a lot of games I picked up for their soundtracks because of artists I enjoyed, and sometimes I'd be surprised and really enjoy the associated game, but even if I didn't like the game I still got my money's worth from the soundtrack. I've now switched to buying from the artists more often directly from Bandcamp and rarely if ever buying the associated games, or just waiting for a direct Steam or Microsoft Store sale.)

It certainly feels from Humble's emails that they are very deeply focused on their Monthly Pass, and it feels almost to the detriment of everything else, but then Monthly Pass things don't really appeal to me in general.
My first thought (before seeing this comment) was that it reminded me of my first programming language, the TI-BASIC that shipped with Texas Instruments graphic calculators in the US. :)
>"If this is true, how does that work if the fundamental conclusion re the relationship of 2 entities is the inverse of what you expect?"

Not quite sure what you are trying to say but this doesnt sound like any statistical model I've seen used in social science.

Usually they assume some distribution (eg normal, or "t") and then assume both samples are taken from that distribution. From that they derive the proportion of times you would see the observed difference in means between samples.
Physically, there's constraint on what I am exposing. Digitally, it's my entire life. The bar for a search must be much higher to reflect that. Most people here are not used to dealing with a corrupt officer. Imagine a scenario where you own a property and the police officer next door desperately wants it and he finds a loop hole to block your access to the street (and does more horrible things to get you to vacate your house). Now imagine what he'll do if he had your phone and work backwards from there - even innocent things like a flirty message with someone can potentially ruin someone's life - it doesn't have to be illegal.

The justice system and separation of powers acts as checks and balances from anyone (good or bad) being harassed unless there's a strong reason why. Get a warrant with a limited scope and then do the search.
You still haven't named a single tool or process.
You know I used to question why on earth would Trump want to "build a wall". But I think your comment (along with the previous comments) somehow made a good justification for it.

Anyway, it is quite apparent that we have fundamentally different views on these issues, so let's agree to disagree and call it a day.
Yep, you're right. They've been slowly decoupling services from macOS Server to macOS. A big one is content caching which was added to macOS High Sierra under System Preferences > Sharing > Content Caching. It will cache iCloud and software updates so that devices checking for updates go though that cache.
“it would be a fallacy to assume that all the members of a large project are unethical, which is exactly what some in the comments are suggesting“

Can you quote anything at all from this particular thread that supports this statement?

It’s clearly the position you are trying to refute, but I think it’s a straw man.

That said, at least you are in the domain of agreeing that working for Facebook is an ethical compromise:

“We all make ethical compromises, and have worked for companies that made ethical decisions we didn't agree with.”

Once again, your position seems to be to try to erase the distinction between Facebook and any other company. The Nuremberg trials demonstrate that this position is not tenable - we don’t erase the distinction between the Nazis and any other government.

The argument here is that by now there is enough evidence that this compromise is too much, and that ethical people who work at Facebook should consider that.

Being an ethical person doesn’t imply some kind of mythical ethical purity. It implies that you care about ethics.
be careful what you wish for, one man's white hat is another man's black hat

Perceptive Automata | Robotics Software Engineer | Boston/Somerville | Full-time ONSITE | https://www.perceptiveautomata.com/careers/

Perceptive Automata is a Boston-based startup that has developed a novel approach to helping autonomous vehicles anticipate what people might do next. We're working with OEMs and other players in the AV space to help their vehicles navigate safely and smoothly around humans, including pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers. We're entering more of a growth phase as we continue to engage with customers and are looking to hire in a number of areas.

There are a number of positions listed on our website but one the one that I want to highlight isn't posted yet -- we're tentatively calling it "Robotics Software Engineer". We're looking for an engineer with experience developing and testing motion planning and simulation of autonomous robots (ideally autonomous vehicles) to help build out a system that can be used as a reference implementation to help guide for integration of our technology into customer systems.

We're still pulling together the job description, so I can't link to a posting yet but please reach out if you think it sounds like a good fit for your background!
It may boil down to the way we view the problem: whether to focus on the zeta values or the structure of the function.

The true mystery can be the viewed from a vector angle, i.e. view the zeta value as $\zeta(c) = V(c) \bullet V(0)$, where $V(x) = (1^{-x}, 2^{-x}, 3^{-x}, ...)$ for x a complex variable.

A more thorough treatment is @ https://read.barnesandnoble.com/book/egg-n-our-face-3#1

That's a good point. I would probably forget about old drives as well - I thought they found the pictures on an active drive but realise now that this was a baseless assumption.
All waterways are public in California as well, so there is already an easement on the access for any property that includes waterway access.
