>if you're traveling, backup your phone online, wipe it, and then carry it with minimal personal information

It would be nice if phone vendors provided a mechanism to backup my phone, wipe it, then some time later merge the backup with the contents of the phone. Would be nice to be able to leave the primary contents of my phone at home while a travel and then merge my travel photos and messages and such back in when I restore my original contents after returning home.
Even from the same top tier schools?

The one person I know that got an EMBA from a decent respected school is a manager at a FAANG. Total comp is somewhat higher than mine, but he is also on the west coast where the cost of living negates much of the difference and if I went into consultancy, it would negate all of the difference.

also, same color scheme? I've seen some studies that show it's harder for people with certain vision issues to focus on text that's white text on a black background than it is for them to focus on black text on a white background, so.. if they're trying to read on a dark theme on their phone, that could be noticeably different from using their E-Ink screen, which is almost certainly using a light theme.
The images processed with SmartRaw look absolutely incredible. It's kind of shocking that some of the images out of the stock camera look as smooth and noisy as they do.

Maybe I used the wrong words. I am not a lawyer, so I don't know the exact name of it. But I know using special configs to hide stuff from a federal agent is the same as lying to them which is a felony, I think. Not sure if it is the same in Canada though.

Lucid is a scientific desktop tool for genomic sequencing data. It's part of a larger toolset used for sequence alignment, variant calling, and annotation. Pretty much inspired by Sublime Text, for sequence alignment maps (sam files).

Looking for someone to fix some bugs and refactor where necessary.
If you have fun working on this, the larger toolset is in C++ and uses Caffe2, so you can try your hand at that once this work is completed.

Why didn't they include that the model 3 was the most popular sedan this quarter?

Because it wasn't. For example, In July alone, Toyota sold 26,311 Camrys and 26,754 Corollas. In August , Toyota sold: 30,141 Camrys and 26,155 Corollas. This means, even if they sold no cars in September, both Toyota models sold more in Q3 than the Model 3.

The Model 3 was the best-selling EV sedan in Q3, but it should have been, given that it doesn't yet have any real competition.

> How can we (or a mailman) deduct/reason about the 'address' of a neighbor, or the what3words for the other side of a property?

why do we need to?

Why can't it simply be this string = this place. that string = that place ? Why does there have to be metadata indicating relative positions of things? US address on the same street have relative metadata, but ones on different streets do not. They may be around the corner from each other or they may be across town. You don't know, and yet we get along just fine. I'd also point to "Massachusetts Ave." in Boston and its suburbs which has the same damn numbers like 4 times and thus 660 Mass ave. gives you NO clue where the thing is relative to 658 which may be next door and miles away and it may be east or west, or both. Somehow we've been able to get along just fine without relative metadata on different streets or even the same one. Why should it be a requirement here?
I do not have to agree that cryptotokens have any compelling characteristics.

Is that problem any harder than sending Bitcoin, converting it to real money, and then trying to spend it? Because converting Bitcoin to Venezuelan Bolivars (or USD in Venezuela) is also a non-trivial problem.

All good points, although there are some arguments that can be made in favor of more straightforward protocol even if it's less secure. I agree that submitting plain text could be problematic for some use cases. At the same time, there are some cool things you could do with plain text, like using the same mechanics for content-addressable content.
Hi Cat, thanks for doing this!

Sometimes, in a more cynical mood, I find myself thinking that the role of culture in many startups is as a social engineering tool by which employers are able to reduce churn in an underpaid environment. If I don't know my coworkers intimately, it's very easy for me to pragmatically leave my employer for better compensation as I don't feel I'm violating some sort of unspoken social contract or friendship that we have through a shared participation in the company's culture. In that way, a 'culture' role feels sometimes like an allegory for an employee retention department in HR. Could you comment on the degree to which you find this true in general or during your tenure at Pinterest? Where do you think that this perspective falls on a spectrum from cynical to accurate?
This. I'm also happy to phone a direct number that they give me (e.g. subdepartment), as long as I can find the telephone number listed on their public web site.

The sticky ones are things that seem to somehow be tied into people at the actual company scamming - my parents recently got a scam Openreach call within a few hours after calling to complain that their telephone had been disconnected a week earlier than promised. They had knowledge of the complaint call, but did the standard scam walkthrough of looking at event viewer and asked for the router ip address.

See also the conveyancing scams whilst buying houses where phishers impersonate the exact solicitors email format and know exactly when the monetary transfer is supposed to take place in order to get you to pay a different bank account.
This is so easy to get around that it's only going to persecute regular people.

As the comments above can attest to, there's multiple ways of circumventing these searches. And we've given it what, 5 minutes of thought? Imagine what you could come up with if you actually had something to hide.
I can't think of a situation where a donating cryptocurrency would be better than a donation of fiat cash to the same groups. Honestly, I can only see negatives from going down that route (lack of accountability for fund usage is a major one) and very few, if any, positives. If the concern is volatility of the local fiat currency, make the donation in another more stable currency. Cryptocurrency will only add to that instability.

Always read the footnotes in the text ... they are hilarious.
Former SEC enforcement attorney John Reed Stark wrote about the complaint against Musk:

(...)

But here’s the rub. The SEC does not typically file SEC enforcement actions like the one against Musk. Indeed, a close reading of the SEC’s complaint against the celebrated billionaire finds a litany of glaring absences within the SEC’s allegations, including:

No alleged profits or other ill-gotten gain earned by Musk;
No alleged scheme conducted by Musk;
No alleged market manipulation orchestrated by Musk;
No alleged pump and dump ploy executed by Musk;
No alleged conspiracy between Musk and anyone else;
No alleged evidence of scienter or intent by Musk;
No alleged false filing or other false or inaccurate Tesla report to the SEC by Musk;
No alleged violation of any sort of required SEC “quiet period” by Musk; and
No concrete evidence of an alleged motive attested to Musk (though not required in SEC enforcement actions, motive is typically pled or implied in some way, shape or form).

TLDR: I needed an MBA to transition out of career path & then 2008 happened.

My interesting journey after getting an MBA:

-Received my MBA 2007, just a year before the full blown financial crisis. I needed an MBA to transition out adverting/marketing.

-2009-2011 Couldn't find a job. My MBA was in Finance. Taught myself to program financial algorithms. (php/MySql)

-2012 Became a coder, programmer, software developer. Made good money programming other people's dumb ideas. No risk, no suits and ties and very few meetings.

-2018 Not going to become the CTO at Google or Facebook. Being a Code Monkey is "meh", but I have to work on my own projects at night to be intellectually challenged. Now looking for a job where I can implement programming knowledge while at the same time work more with the business side. There always seems to be a certain lack of communication between the software side and the business side.

See my profile if you want to discuss.
Of your proposed motivations, I’ve been accused of all three but it’s probably the third one :)

> I hope that people on HN don't upvote/downvote stories based solely on their titles, and if I see an upvoted story whose title is "PopularSoftware v.6.2 is released!" I'm definitely going to check what the people have to say in the comments.

Even if they don't, if the title is too boring they might let the story pass without doing either. A story titled simply "PopularSoftware v6.2.1 released" (it's even a x.y.1 release, which commonly means only small bug fixes) might not attract enough attention to get more than a few upvotes.
No dude. It’s not the fault of the people for failing to “critically analyze language”. It’s the fault of the language for being so counterproductively nebulous and hard to understand.

Democracy is a nebulous concept. There’s millions of different variations of it. No one cares about “our democracy” because it literally has no actual meaning that anyone can point to. But a lot of people care about big tits.

Your blaming the US education system is just laughable because “democracy” is actually the one thing my teachers DID spend way too much time trying to explain to our class — yet still, literally no one understood it enough to form an emotional attachment to it, because it’s an inherently nebulous concept and impossible to emotionally attach to.

Your claiming that 20+ years of teachers earnestly trying to explain democracy to earnest students and failing miserably is somehow a result of the educational system and not a fault of the language itself is a massive LOL. The explanation of democracy is literally the ONE thing our school system does well, and still it’s not enough — because it’s literally not possible to explain democracy in such a way that people become emotionally attached to it. It’s just not a stirring concept. The concept of democracy does not stir up emotions in anyone except the most out-of-touch philosophers who only understand it abstractly anyway. Democracy does not stir up emotions.

Big tits do tho.

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!
