BeatGig | JS/React developer & PHP/Laravel developer | FULL-TIME, REMOTE (founders from east coast US) | https://www.beatgig.com | https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beatgig/id1355182285

BeatGig is a two-sided marketplace (responsive web and iOS app) for premium live music. We streamline the booking process for buyers and musicians (including their managers and agents) by providing them a single destination to connect, contract, and book live shows. Our premium artist marketplace spans all genres and levels of the music industry, from independent bands and DJs to major headlining artists represented by the biggest talent agencies in the world. We started our marketplace with college buyers (fraternities and sororities) and quickly grew to over 100 colleges around the country. We are now eager to expand into new markets (bars, clubs, and festivals). Mission statement aside, we are a tight-knit team that launched in 2016 and recently raised seed stage capital from angel investors. We are now hiring for two roles to grow our distributed engineering team from 1 (myself, CTO) to 3 engineers.

What reality are you living in that Twitter is slower than email?
I wonder if this is a generational thing. I'm gen x and cameras absolutely hit the 'same basic reflexes' for me. When someone has their camera/phone out I sense where it is looking at least as much as I sense where people's eyes are looking.

My millenial girlfriend, my youngest siblings and cousins, etc., don't seem to be aware; nor do they have the same ideas of rudeness/politeness with camera use that I have.
Neo4J is mainly a one-machine database. For larger clusters, you probably want to look at ArangoDB or Dgraph, for examples. Meaning, as long as your data can be stored in one running machine, you're alright. When wanting to scale horizontally, other solutions were built with that first in mind.
your points are fine. people don't understand we live in a dynamic ecosystem. if we have been active in the forest doing things for a long time, it will get used to this ,and the whole ecosystem of the forest will adjust to it. like you said, if it stops, as your example, an infestation of some insect or plant which is generally kept in check by the human interactions might ruin everything.

humans are natural, and their interactions generally are also natural, and nature can deal with nature just fine...

on another note: people seem to think they dominate this earth all over, but most of the earth is uninhabited and a lot is still unexplored. if you want to 'save' something, go after big corporations who do things on 'unnaturally' large scale. not forestry services and loggers who are doing it small scale. they are the people who know things and should be listened to, their experience is invaluable, more important than some phd paper or science project from some dweeb who has hardly seen a naturally grown tree in their life.

completely agree with your points thanks, that happens only very rarely on here! :D

So then if you refuse to answer they will just search your bags.
This is true, but kicking off a large subset of the userbase every time an account is compromised (or more realistically, every time someone changes their password—which should certainly invalidate their old tokens) isn't going to be a valid trade off for most applications with customers.
Facebook won't even let you read public events through their API anymore, public events created by businesses that want the public to attend, that are visible to anyone even if they're not logged in, that are easily searchable through Google.

But that's probably because the same day they removed that events API, they launched the Facebook Local app that shows all the events around you. Can't have anyone competing with your app.
Two interpretations of transpose:

- Let <-,-> denote an inner product. Then <Au, v> = <u, A^T v> is a definition of the transpose operation. Proof: (Au)^T v = u^T A^T v = <u, A^T v>

- The transpose maps a vector v to a linear functional (a kind of function) v^T, such that v^T (u) = <v, u>. Conversely, a linear functional of a vector can be transposes to a vector. In fact, it's the latter (linear functionals to vectors) that's more interesting. This fact generalises to Hilbert spaces as the Riesz representation theorem, where the consequences can be pretty amazing.

- An arbitrary linear operator L: H -> K tranposes to a mapping between their dual spaces L^* = K^* -> H^* by L*(f) = f o L.

- The outer product produces rank-one matrices, and all rank-one matrices can be expressed as outer products.
What's the displacement of the Royal Enfield?

> They behave mostly the same, with comparable performance and torque, up to 6000rpm

...so , you are confirming what I said. A bike with 30hp performs similarly to a bike with 110hp. - UNTIL the Enfield hits it's rev limit, at which point you can't really compare them because one physically can't do what the other does.

This assumes that someone creates a free and easy to use front end that has these filters. I can believe that.

This also assumes that a large fraction of Twitter users would use such filters. What makes you think they will?

The reason I have doubts is that people who tend to be influenced by evil Twitter posts are not the type of people who are amazingly self aware and look for ways to reduce that influence.
You don’t need to take my comment so seriously. It’s a quip at the whole “data going out” thing. The first thing your iPhone does when it boots (run it through tcpdump) is contact Akamai (the CDN Apple uses). Data goes out.

Nowhere was I hostile. I answered your comments politely and clearly. You were arrogant and condescending but you apparently don't actually know what you're talking about.

The article doesn't mention a man sold his house and car for $600k to pay Samantha Stevenson (a Toronto psychic) to get evil spirits from his house:

I'm guessing the 60k charge is against this woman's sister or mother?
Savings. I am not entirely sure the exact number of months, since I don't spend my entire salary each month, however at this point it is several months.

That is also the worst case, in that it assumes I can get nothing at all in terms of income for that long.

I would feel a little better moving it to something more safe than bank account, by which I mean something no government could take from me and which I could take with me should my current country collapse, but at present I am as secure as the Danish Government.
ew. I was with you until you said it requires chrome.
Instead, companies with > $1 billion annual revenue...

That would just turn the issue in to an accounting problem. Facebook would license their logo from Facebook Logo Inc, the like button from Thumbs Up Ltd, their servers from Facebook Servers PLC, and so on. Every one of the companies would make, at most, $999,999,999 in revenue.

A much simpler and easier legal solution would be to tax companies based on the number of users (based on an independent audit). For example, the first ten million are free (yay startups!) and then the company has to start paying $1 per user for the next 100 million, $5 each for the next 500 million, and $10 each user for the rest. Companies would be encouraged to actively limit the size of their platform by ejecting users and bots who don't make them any money, or to charge users for access.
Jargon | Sr. Software Engineer | Seattle, WA ONSITE

BitMEX | San Francisco | On-Site | Full-Time | Visa

The Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange (BitMEX) is the world’s most advanced Bitcoin derivatives platform and the 26th largest exchange, of any type, on Earth. We have a hundred thousand active customers across the globe, particularly in Asia.

Developed by ex-bankers well-versed in computer science, financial engineering, and traditional finance, BitMEX launched in 2014. We’re new (but so is everybody in this industry) and we’ve been humbled by our success so far.

Our innovative, secure, and very liquid platform currently trades between $2 and $5 billion USD a day of crypto derivatives (futures and options only; we are not a spot exchange where you can buy Bitcoin with USD or other fiat currencies).

By offering the crypto-sphere’s greatest price discovery marketplace, BitMEX also expects, over the long term, to spur Bitcoin adoption by consumers and merchants.

Culturally, BitMEX defies the stereotypes of both the old-fashioned, testosterone-drenched Wall Street “boys club” type of firm, as well as the politically correct, “snowflake-coddling” Silicon Valley tech outfit. In truth, we are pioneering a new model of corporate culture, and learning as we go.

For example, as Angelina Kwan, chief operating officer of BitMEX, put it: “In addition to being a true market leader among trading platforms, BitMEX shares my values of gender inclusion, particularly in STEM fields. Cryptocurrency markets present an exciting new opportunity for women to get involved in the intersection of finance and technology.”

All BitMEX employees have at least three things in common: they buy into our core values unequivocally, they are effective in their roles, and they own up to their actions. No workplace is free of internal politics, but we are as much of a meritocracy as you’ll find in this cruel world. And you can be almost anything you want to be at BitMEX as long as you make your mark with your work.

If you like what you've read, visit bitmex.com/careers or email people@bitmex.com. We are hiring across all departments but our most pressing needs right now are for Node/API Engineers, Senior SREs and Kubernetes Engineers.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Doesn’t appear to have been hacked like all the hacks we hear about rather, the user probably reused their password on another service that was hacked and they didn’t change their passwords as hopefully instructed when that occurred. Enabling 2 factor would resolve this in most alll cases easily for the user. Versus the user having to use a password management app and constantly monitor their security and update accordingly. 1Password helps a lot but the average person won’t use that so it’s on companies like Apple to continue to improve their keychain software to help automate this for users and on companies like nest to push 2 factor more. But until Apple and other natively support 2 factor seamlessly it won’t gain massive traction for non tech users. So while this was the users fault technically it’s ultimately tech companies fault for not making security for users more fool proof. Though if everyone uses 2 factor hackers will probably find another way.
Tool for generating screencast videos
Federated systems, like Mastodon (or, well, email), offer a rather reasonable balance, I suppose.
The purpose of the process is to decide whether they need to search your bags for contraband.

If you act very weirdly, like you are suggesting, then they will just make the decision to definitely search your bags.

Targeting people who act weirdly is kinda the entire point, though.
> FAANG companies are incredibly bad at detecting bots. It’s not how they make money

Providing confidence to advertisers that the ads they pay for reach particular humans (which requires providing at least as much confidence that they reach actual humans) is exactly how the F and the G, but not the AAN in between, make money; detecting bots (or, perhaps more precisely, detecting humans and excluding bots) is obviously part of that.

G is somewhat well-known for it's tools for this, including at least one that is widely used by lots of other actors on the web.
Primary discussion here- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18352275
No, he's saying that we've seen all kinds of absolute garbage marketed using the words 'AI' (Watson is at the relatively complex and useful end of the spectrum) so your suggestion that this project's use of 'AI' as a marketing term implies anything about whether they have an adequate dataset to validate it on is frankly hilarious.

In this case, there's excellent reason to be sceptical about whether the service has a remotely adequate dataset, because even if lie detection were a simple problem, how on earth are you going to get calibration data involving hundreds of data points of real airline passengers lying about having weapons in their luggage or intending to overstay their visa? Never mind calibration data by gender, ethnicity and nationality...

Ask HN: What if gmail was compromised?
I vaguely remember years ago reading a hypothetical post about what would happen if gmail was shipped with a vulnerability that disabled password check. And essentially it would lead to the world ending.

The author's claim was that it might not be so farfetched because there was a time when dropbox shipped a version with the password check disabled.

I was hoping someone would remember it and or link it.

Or failing that, what are people's thoughts on what would happen if such a vulnerability was shipped today.
Works fine for me, no Flash.

Yeah it would be interesting to see how the apple tv performs compared to an ipad over sustained loads. It has wired power and I think the 4K even has a cooling fan.
I think the comment you're replying to is trying to strengthen that ability. Now you don't have to convince some critical mass of your friends to switch over; you just switch over to the new platform, which everyone is connected to via some open source API/protocol, or the company running the data service is not running a front end to present the data. You continue to get the data from your friends and family while using a front end that you feel safer in.

It would require regulating the companies who hold personal data and divorcing them from the entities that tailor feeds and provide a user experience for the data. I don't think it's that ridiculous of an idea, really.
This article is propaganda. This is not the first article of its kind; they just keep popping up over and over on HN with the same poor arguments. I usually take the time to write long explanations as to why these points are invalid but I'm tired of arguing with these people.

The real reason for these articles I think is that some developers had a very traumatic experience with a poorly implemented JWT authentication system once in their career and now nothing will change their minds about JWTs.

Maybe JWTs don't make as much sense for HTTP but for WebSockets they are absolutely crucial. With WebSockets for example, you can push the JWTs to the clients so you can make them with very short expiry: e.g. even 10 minute expiry is possible... Issuing/renewing JWTs with very short expiry helps avoid the need to explicitly invalidate them... If used correctly, JWTs can take a lot of load off from the database.

I could go on for a long time about the benefits of JWTs with WebSockets but to summarize the best aspect for me is that you can push them to the client with short expiry and also that you can automatically renew/re-issue them on an interval while the connection is alive... It also works well for dealing with socket reconnects and saves database lookups.
At first glance, this looks like it establishes a shared runtime for all Carlo apps. I'll be interested to see how well it supplants Electron once it matures.
