That's odd—I haven't left it on long enough to notice. So they really intended this light to be used for short time intervals.
Automatic tests are not the only way to test software, nor are they sufficient. Whether some software can actually be used is not something that's completely formalizable and so you can't test it automatically. You always need a human in the loop in the end, and alert is a legitimate tool to effortlessly display some additional information on internal state during an interactive user test.

It seems like what's missing is that being in "everyone's" best interest isn't the same as being in "every individual's" best interest. I don't know enough to say about this situation specifically, but something that helps society as a whole could still hurt a large segment of society.

Nothing like increasing net losses leading up to IPO!

2016 - ($682,794)

2017 - ($688,301)

2018 - ($911,335)

As a percentage of revenue though the loss is decreasing,

2016 - 2x

2017 - 0.6x

2018 - 0.45x

2018 revenue was $2.1bn.

Since they are a tech company and not a real company they can IPO at 10x revenue so that's ~20bn.

Who cares what their margins are.

corrux | Munich, Germany | ONSITE | INTERNS | https://corrux.io/

Work and grow in an environment driven by ownership, execution and innovation! Disrupt the construction industry with us. We just completed our seed round[1] and are looking to expand rapidly!

-Vehicle Interface Engineer

Help us improve our analysis pipeline by extracting data from construction equipment directly. We are searching for someone with experience in vehicle interfaces to develop and extend our ability to extract internal messages of the CAN (Controller area network) bus present on e.g. earth-moving machines, and then convert this information into analyzable, actionable metrics and log entries.

This position will involve occasional fieldwork developing connectivity solutions to construction equipment and making sure our existing CAN loggers are functioning correctly. A big part of this position is also helping us make sense of the often partially documented and proprietary message formats used by different vendors within their vehicles.

-Python Backend and Devops

You will be the catalyst for backend and devops development at corrux, a young startup serving the complex needs of users and data processing in the civil construction space. We specialize in analytics and failure prediction for heavy civil equipment (think railroad track laying machines or tunnel borers).

You will be integrating external OEM and customer data sources into our platform and streamlining deployment, while keeping an eye for scalability and performance, setting up pipelines to extract and normalize data from customer APIs or custom hardware (in batches and real-time), improve our failure forecasting models both in accuracy and performance, and help build more sophisticated CI/CD with an eye towards horizontal scalability and reproducibility across customers.

We're also hiring interns (data science, backend, frontend)!

Your anecdotes are not data. Here's the EPA saying fraking can contaminate water. https://www.ecowatch.com/epa-fracking-water-contamination-21...

> People where the fracking is are pro-fracking. People in far away cities that aren't affected are against.

We are all affected. This is one world, one planet. We are all on it together.

And anyway, why would it matter if opinions are divided on this topic based on where we live? That speaks more to the education, opportunity, circumstance, political mood, etc, than it does to the issue at hand. It's a logical fallacy to argue that fraking is good for the environment (or good at all?) because people close by support it and people far away don't.
Well, the road that handles 50,000 people will require a ton more maintenance, that I can assure you. Plus, rarely is the county (as it's almost always the county that covers the cost) putting in the road solely for residential use. Most of the time, the roads go somewhere that isn't serviced by another road, and the residential roads are off of those (and often paid for by the residents).

Perhaps it's different where you live. But, aside from roads, what other infrastructure is massively subsidized by those in the urban areas?
National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) | DevOps Administrator | Boulder, Colorado USA | ONSITE | Full-time

About NSIDC: The mission of the National Snow and Ice Data Center is to make fundamental contributions to cryospheric science and excel in managing data and disseminating information in order to advance understanding of the Earth system. NSIDC is a trusted source of cryospheric data and services, and is a leader in research and development within this field. We enjoy a broad stable funding base which collectively supports our infrastructure and provides growth in numerous technical fields.

We are, and have been for the last 25 years, a NASA Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) responsible for archival and stewardship of cryospheric data. We also provide data access tools, documentation, processing services, and cryospheric expertise to the public.

This job: This is a new role at NSIDC intended to bridge between our Software Development, Operations, and System Administrations groups. You'll be expected to help evolve our infrastructure, including automated software deployment, software/system monitoring, and operations. Problems you might tackle include: Evolving a centralized logging/visualization infrastructure, positioning the software group for a shift towards processing and data storage in the cloud (a NASA goal), building out a local container orchestration platform, evolving our CI/CD infrastucture, and much more. Our software stack is mostly Python, Javascript, and Ruby. We deploy to vSphere VMs using Puppet, and most new software deployments today are done with Docker.

Personal pitch: Because we are part of a university, we know private industry can offer you a higher salary. However, we offer a starting benefits package that we feel stands out. The university 401(a) plan contributes 10% of gross pay. 22 vacation days, 15 sick days, and 10 holidays a year. UC Boulder insurance benefits are excellent. UC Boulder offers a significant tuition benefit for faculty (that's you), and a smaller benefit for your dependents. Come work here and get your Master's/PhD! Paychecks come once a month, which may be unusual for some. Top of the bill, for me, is the office environment and people. Our current location is dog-friendly, we have shared offices (usually 2-3 in an office) with openable windows (!), and you'll be surrounded with people who care about the work, the overall mission of NSIDC, and learning in general. Our developer group is usually running a book club (currently reading about Elm and just finished "Kanban in Action"), and anyone interested is welcome. You'll likely work directly with people who go to Antarctica every year. Finally, Boulder is beautiful. We have so many trails, everyone loves dogs, and we're about 2 hours from world-class skiing.

Considering Debit cards still work, I'd expect that a lot of people would just do that. I can't speak for anyone else, but the main reason I use my CC is for the rewards (1-5% depending on location and promotions) and pay it off regularly.

If I can't use it at a location, I'll just switch to my debit card. A bigger example of CC lock in is Costco which used to be American Express only, switched to Visa only last year.
> I don't think they are all the same. Anyone can live fine without Facebook. Being banned from Google services would be very inconvenient...

You're not thinking big enough. Already, even details like mobile location information is leaking into the hands of bounty hunters[1], which means such information is probably easily available to less controversial operations like insurance companies. Wait until a "background check" for housing means asking Facebook if you've ever expressed an interest in smoking.

Yeah this is quite difficult to do legally in the U.K. for tax reasons. Fun idea, but very impractical.
He was always going to pay to license it. If he’s angry at anything it’s that the Lee estate tried to block his production for deviating too far from the book. So because he’s angry at the Lee estate, he’s taking it out on these community productions? Doesn’t make sense. From the NYT article:

> The restrictions on local productions are meant to protect the financial viability of a national tour by restricting competition.

I think it’s more likely that, but I don’t buy the argument. I’ve been to many community productions, touring productions, and Broadway itself. The former, even the best of them, isn’t really in the same league. If anything I’d argue the community productions help Broadway by exposing plays to more audiences. If I hadn’t seen a community production of Les Mis first, I would not have gone out of my way to take my family to it when it opened in NYC.

Anyway as you say, his decision, but I think it’s shortsighted and mean spirited. I won’t be seeing this play.

So what shoes do YOU wear? I bet the majority of your shoes are nationally recognized brands. If not, I'd sure like to know where you find "spec sheets" on shoes. =)

But in general you're missing the point here.

In fact it can be boiled down to a single word. From the transcription:

> Remember, Nike sells a commodity. They sell shoes!!!

Commodity.

You draw a false dichotomy between "glitzy ads" and "durable and comfortable."

The fact is that most shoes, even modestly priced ones, are plenty durable and comfortable. We've been making them for thousands of years and there aren't a lot of useful breakthroughs left to make. For most purposes, they're a commodity.

So how do you get people to buy your stuff when you're competing in a commodity market sector?

Well number one, you have to actually have some quality there. Unless you're selling high-fashion shoes or something they need to be reasonably "durable and comfortable."

And you need to tell some type of story. Perhaps not "glitzy ads" but you do need that story.

Alternately you can, I guess, compete by monopolizing resources or differentiate yourself materially somehow. But there are a lot of product segments where that's not viable. You can't make a pencil that's much better than any other pencil. You can't grow rice that's too much tastier than any other rice. You can't clean gutters too much better than the next guy who cleans gutters. You can't build a computer that's too much faster than anybody else's, unless you're willing to throw down billions of dollars and get into a decades-long arms race with other CPU makers.

And even if you build a better mousetrap you still need to tell people about it, so it's story time anyway...
