Anthem is a Fortune 30 company that specializes in for-profit health insurance and is the largest member of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.

I agree. It's a scattering of good (if not novel) observations about the issue, but there's just no through line connecting any of them.

The last paragraph is phrased as though it follows logically from the preceding one, when it seems to make pretty much the opposite point.
>is settled only within the confines of a particular linguistic model with a particular technical definition of the term "tense", of which there are many.

Could you then provide a reference to a linguist arguing that English has a future tense (in the usual syntactic/morphological sense of the term)?

I'm baffled by the reference to the "confines of a particular linguistic model". Linguists who can agree on hardly anything else (and linguists are pretty good at disagreeing!) can agree that English lacks a future tense.

Likewise. Is it not still worth defining the inherent characteristics, even if it's not a job title?
Why not? They sell $2 bills for $1 at scale. They need constant funding.
Of course there is a market for it, it's the main feature of our current economy.

Well apparently you can play baseball and make $330m.

Yes, it’s a lot, but to build a $30b company and make 90m pre-tax (maybe 50m post in CA) is something...

The obvious comparison is Travis Kalanick, who is definitely a billionaire and retained much more of Uber.
There seems to be some general consensus that the github UI is in need of a refresh (which I strongly agree with). Instead of having random sniping via blog post, it would be awesome to see an open design competition where anyone in the community can submit mockups with some bounty for the winner.
$20K each, most likely.
It would be awesome if you guys could take the time to respond to the applications that you have actually received instead of ignoring applicants without feedback and asking for more CV's (which you need to process) on HN.

You do seem to have a privacy policy[1] in place mentioning GDPR and hiring - it would be great if you could stick to the rules you claim to comply with on your site!

thank you!

> Ideas are cheap, execution is difficult

Completely agree on this, that's why the first thing we'll do when you apply is show you our working product ;)

> It’s enough to just say “The position is for an Engineer”.

There are many engineers so senior that they don't want to code anymore. I simply want to make it crystal clear that this position is not for them. Conspiracy theories about lack of progression are just that, conspiracy theories. Or rather, yours to judge when you know us ;)
Wise words, I completely agree :-)

Thanks for the discussion

Résumé/CV: www.iostream.cc (link to linkedin on page)
Email: peter@iostream.cc

* I've built software infrastructure and business applications for some of the largest companies in finance and telecom
* I've got leadership experience (CTO at a startup, etc.)
* I'm responsible for servers in production

Due to entering the world of coding early in life, I've done a bunch of different things and have become a generalist with quite deep technological knowledge in many areas.
There's a never-ending stream of work for me, but I'm interested in seeing what's out there.
Another "tragedy of the commons" thing. It's only about $370 per person (or unit), but they're probably not all trying to sell at the same time, so you probably can't get them to all agree to it. So there's probably 5 people trying to sell at the moment and the rest refuse to pay up just to help those 5 sell, and they probably think that this might come up again in the future thanks to even more mismanagement.
>What force dictates that the equilibrium for rates must be higher?

Because that violates a big part of the dual mandate of the federal reserve. Lowering interest rates indefinitely makes borrowing money super easy, and you essentially cause a credit cascade. At certain levels, borrowing money means the fed is able to print more money. But if no one can really pay that money back, that bubble pops. And if you keep lowering interest rates to correct for that you'll get inflation. Lots of inflation. To the point where the money becomes useless.

>Inflation is less of a risk now because of technology + globalization

I have quite literally never heard this thought before, and at face value it doesn't make a lick of sense. you can't just vaguely pay lipservice to two very broad terms and act like it's going to make inflation irrelevant? What?

>Finally, high interest rates imply money is scarce and that's far from the case now.

No it means that the economy shouldn't/isn't/can't really borrow more. The first one tends to be the primary reason for increasing interest rates. You can't just keep borrowing indefinitely. Because again, that makes money useless.

We're already in a bit of a pickle at the moment. And we're seeing signs that the economy is starting to slip -- but we can still reverse and put an end to these signs. Consumer and corporate credit is at an all time high. Just last quarter, the number of people that are delinquent on their car loans spiked. Car payments are something people typically let slip during a financial squeeze, because it's hard for the bank to recoup it in a timely manner. But not paying your credit card or electric bill, those kind of services get shut off immediately.

Lower interest rates allowed the current credit spike we're seeing. But at some point it has to be paid back. But if people don't have the real wages to pay back those loans AND keep spending money, you're going to see a squeeze on the service sector. And that's not going to be good for the American economy.
To justify your interpretation, you'd have to explain why the SC hasn't followed up that ruling with another ruling that establishes their standard for weighing those competing interests in such a way that the 1st amendment concerns are overcome.

Such speculation was possible in June of 2018, but hard to defend now.

Tatari | Engineers | Toronto | ONSITE | Fulltime | https://www.tatari.tv

Tatari combines old-school TV advertising with modern tooling and analysis. We build software to automate and improve our media buying operations, and we develop novel statistical analyses to make TV advertising as measurable as digital advertising for our clients, displayed via a beautiful dashboard. Lots of data, wrangled via Python and TypeScript.

We're currently ~35 people, profitable, and growing our business like crazy. We're building out our Toronto office in addition to our existing San Francisco and Santa Monica teams, due in no small part because it's a great city (I moved back here specifically to start this office because I love it here, even the snowy winters).

We have roles open for senior Backend and Frontend engineers, as well as some more jack-of-all-trades positions for a client-facing engineer, and an internal tools engineer.

The best one I have found for C++ is rtags which uses clang as backend and it is magical when it works. Unfortunately the latency was just high enough to get in the way of my work especially after switching branches and the server being busy reindexing the codebase.

It was more than 3 years ago though, it is probably time to give it another try.
he said 9k sqft, 15k sqft "estate" whatever that means. At 9k it's $444/sqft.
No offense, but that approach would make me not want to hire someone like that or work with someone like that. It may appear that you’re pulling one over on your previous employer, but if anything, that is probably a blessing for them to no longer have someone that operates in a shady fashion like that employed by them.

Edit: The undesirable behavior was in reference to the lying about a personal crisis. I personally believe in transparency and wouldn’t attempt to capitalize on an employer’s sympathy by lying to them.

No, the cost of a tax on trade is always split. The way it is split is determined by elasticity of demand and elasticity of supply. In this particular case, Chinese suppliers have been paying about 83% of the tariff.
I've lived in HOA neighborhoods before; the power any individual resident has over the HOA is nearly nil. You'd basically have to run around to all the neighbors and convince them to vote for someone else at the next board election; it's just like regular government politics that way.
