Security First (YCS15) | Android Developer | Dublin, Ireland | Remote, https://secfirst.org
Security First’s flagship Umbrella app gives you free digital and physical security advice when you need it most. It's is the only security handbook you'll ever need in a free, open source app.

Our backend runs mostly Golang and as we're trying to broaden our spectrum to involve global market, we are met with a set of interesting challenges. Everything we do is 100% open source, we use Golang for backend services, Swift on iOS and our new app is 100% Kotlin.

We need an Android developer who can help with the new app, which is 100% Kotlin MVVM architecture and we use Couroutines, Dagger, Conductor, SQLCipher and DbFlow to create the app that will prove invaluable to groups in risky areas.

We are looking for someone who loves topics on security and building the next generation of our mobile apps. Our engineering team is small, so the work you do will have a significant impact.

June 2017 was quite a while ago in terms of fed funds rate hikes. I would bet $100 the average APR is greater than 15.96% now. More likely between 17-18%, I have a source too but would need to dig it up.
The source says wages went up while dividend/interest income went down.
It is, if you agree to do it. In current version of capitalism, person applying for a job has almost no rights except perhaps GDPR.
Ok, what should I do then?

I agree with most of your post, choosing to live in low density if you prefer should be considered wholly valid. However...

> This diminishment of the individual is bad for US society as it has existed for most of the past.

This statement is vague, presumptive, and poorly justified. For those who prefer to live in the cities can you justify there is a diminishment of the individual? In what ways is it "bad for US society"? And finally, I'm not even convinced on "has existed for most of the past"

Is this a quote from the HBO show "Silicon Valley" ?
The thing I worry about is even if the news networks try to show us "opposing viewpoints" they'll curate those, alter them somehow, etc. Maybe it'll be used as an excuse to flood us with one particular view they happen to share...

I think one of the things we loose when we transitioned from newspapers to reading news online is the drive to condense information and curate what is reported for such a broad audience.

I distinctly remember how my grandfathers, both of them, would not consider themselves done with the daily newspaper unless they read the first section, or typically for one of them, the whole paper.

These days we selectivaly choose which articles to read, which to not read. We read what we enjoy or are passionate about, we don't read what depresses us, or conflicts with our worldview.

From what I can see, this is leading to greatly warped worldviews all around. We feel like we are fully informed while only having seen one side of the issue, we then dismiss reporting from the other side or more and more, centrist or neutral reporting as driven by ideology as if what we are reading and hearing is not driven by ideology.
Dongfeng motors dropped 17%. BAIC motors dropped 11%. Great Wall motors dropped 40% alone in November.
Actually CEOs make the bulk of their money as capital gains, not wages, since they are compensated in stock options. Per the article wages are up 0.3%, which means normal people on a salary or hourly with no/insignificant investments have more money in their pockets. So this actually is money trickling down.

If you're interested in this topic, I highly recommend William Irvine's "A guide to the good life: the ancient art of stoic joy"

https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/1522...

Its treatment of modern stoicism is uplifting, and I found that the overall philosophy (and even just the practice of having a set of values and philosophy) matched my personal beliefs well and gave me new tools to use.

Overall - Stoicism as it was taught by Epictetus is more about freeing yourself from desire for things and the fear of losing them, and not about giving up all worldly things (that's Asceticism)

I appreciate that the Stoic teachings allow for enjoyment of life and its fruits when that enjoyment is bounded by the good of "community feeling" or love for your common man. If the 80's "greed is good" movement had had a "but try to lift up others and don't be a dick", it may have been a more sustainable culture, and I hope that those of us disrupting things and building new systems figure out how to create societal benefits as well as wealth.

SpaceX set for crew demo launch
I don’t, sorry. I did not build this with performance in mind, but for querying packet captures of a protocol built on Protobuf.

Any query is going to require deserializing every row in the table (JSON and Protobuf alike) which is basically a non-starter for any project with performance requirements. And I believe that Protobuf messages are decoded as a whole, rather than just the desired field, which is going to be slower.
MeToo is an interesting example.

I suspect that Facebook and Twitter have their own linear algebra models of who is interested in what, and that factors into their choices of what content from your friends makes it into your stream.

After the wave of MeToo posts on Facebook and Twitter had died down, I asked my friends on Facebook to characterize how many MeToo posts they'd seen. Liberals reported seeing far more MeToo posts than conservatives did.

Something I didn't ask about, but have seen after the fact, is that conservatives and liberals seem to have a totally different idea of what MeToo is about. Algorithmic balkanization may have contributed to these differing ideas, and cordoned most of the MeToo-related activity in a liberal cluster of the social graph.

I saw a lot of personal stories of harassment and abuse from my friends. The sheer volume of them was undeniable. I could never say, given the experiences my friends reported, that it was mostly symbolic. Those experiences were very much concrete. It is possible that my particular subset of the social graph is disproportionately affected by sexual harassment and assault, which would affect the validity of any conclusions about the broader society I might draw from what I saw. But, for the subset of the social graph I observed, there is simply no way to call it symbolic.

From what I gather buddhism and stoicism share a lot of ways how to deal with external input and managing your mental state. I know more about buddhism and there have been quite a few articles about teachers who fell apart even after decades of practice because they hadn't really internalized them and were trying to "fake it till you make it".
Is this the fault of PG&E or is this the reality of climate change - systems that were once safe are now fire hazards in an increasingly dry climate.
Adacado | Senior Developer | Vancouver, BC, Canada | ONSITE | Full-time

You have over 5 years of coding and web application expertise in a senior role, and want to do more innovative development and MUCH less mundane operations support.
“Creating Change is what we do.”

Adacado is looking for expert programmers to enrich our development skill pool and help take our application to the next level, innovatively and technically. You’re the type of developer that is never satisfied. You strive to create new technologies/design patterns, and/or completely abandoning current systems and undertaking complete re-builds, using all the latest technology. You thrive in doing something that has never been done before.

“Fail often, fail fast.”

The Adacado SAAS platform (and its roadmap) creates many interesting technical challenges. Adacado is built on Kubernetes, Golang, Vue, Node and ES6, and utilizes Postgres, Kafka, Aerospike, and ElasticSearch. We manage an ever growing army of microservices (100+) with special care in making our applications performant, available, and scalable.

As a Senior Developer at Adacado you will take part in designing/reviewing/writing critical application services, as well as mentoring and teaching other developers with your expertise. You will collaborate closely with teammates to implement and ship new functions in a fast paced environment where you catch errors and deploy same-day fixes on a regular basis. You feel a personal pride in the code that you produce and enjoy a culture of friendly coding ‘one-upmanship’. You aren’t afraid of spending time to try something and then throw it out all-together to start anew if it doesn’t fit the bill. You enjoy discussing design patterns and problem solving with your colleagues.

The Adacado Team

Everyone at Adacado believes in our product, making our group close knit. We live through our trials and tribulations together (often over great Vancouver craft beer or other libations). Our staff are our most valuable resource.

We provide our team members with competitive compensation with benefits and stock options, liberal time off, flexible work hours and telecommuting, and a generous skills-development/education budget. All developers also receive a standup-desk, dual monitors, and a nerf gun (yes, a nerf gun).

Adacado is located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, close to public transit. Everyday is casual day in the office and we provide a fully stocked kitchen with snacks. We also serve lunch hot and fresh every Friday, and have in-office craft beer and wine parties and bi-annual company retreats.

To apply, send us an email: careers@adacado.com Please indicate that you're applying from Hackernews.

Economists call this the “narrowing corridor.” The lower the cut rates, the less room you have to maneuver. The fed needs to increase rates by like 5x in order to get us back on stable footing. My wife always likes to make the analogy of the economy being a bathtub.

When the government sells bonds or lowers rates or prints money, the bathtub gets filled up. When the government buys bonds or increases rates, the water line lowers. The size of the bathtub increases along with real growth in the economy. Inflation is when the water rises faster than the size of the bathtub, deflation when the water isn’t rising fast enough.

I used OpenCV about 15 years back to read football pools tickets. It eventually worked but my (admittedly atrocious) code was slow and clunky: a soup of mixed C and C++ whose sources I luckily lost:)
What made the process even slower with then available hardware was the necessary deskewing if one put the ticket not perfectly aligned with the camera, which is almost always the case.
Not having worked with OpenCV since then, my question is that todays newer versions and available low cost hardware (namely *PI like boards) could allow a similar but more complex process in almost realtime and reading whole digits instead of bullets. That is, an user puts a piece of paper under the camera, the software recognizes what it is by looking at common patterns it has with other similar documents, giving it proper orientation when needed, then it reads text and numeric information applying OCR code, then according to that information, fills/updates one or more fields in this or that database.
Doable? Caveats?
Would you feel differently if power plants (also mostly not government owned) were attacked?

I know my analogy is a bit of a stretch, but at least at present it seems like the political parties are at the very core of american civilization (or lack thereof, depending on perspective)

Do you actually find the blind app useful? Most of my experience has been that it's "4chan-lite".

Someone posted asking for the best way to let a friend down easy and tell them they weren't romantically interested. Top response: "Bang his roommate."
Just an anecdotal data point - on your landing page, you may want to consider adding a small demo of what the playback sounds like. I like the idea of articulu, but I'm not going to download and install an app without hearing what it sounds like first.
Literally just a usecase for a blockchain, reinvented..
I think Gresham's Law explains it. I could pay a locksmith in bitcoin, but I would rather keep my bitcoin and pay with USD. Bitcoin is harder to get and can be used for purposes that USD cannot (e.g.: donating to financially censored people and organizations).
Not as bad as snap but what could they possibly be spending $100 million a year on?

Maybe they're harvesting more than ride information. Perhaps they're aggregating behavioral data on customers to sell.
I have wanted this app since I first start preferring using mobile devices as audio-only rather than screen-first. Unfortunately, iOS and Android both seem to be further away from supporting that use-case OOTB than they were in 2013. Anyway, thanks for making this.

>Liberals reported seeing far more MeToo posts than conservatives did.

This could be "confirmation bias" or perhaps more accurately the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon... liberals tend to be more in-tune with the MeToo movement and therefore would be more likely to recall having seen it.
There indeed are some points in the list that don't seem good or bad, but rather somewhat unusual. And even some that seem usual, as mentioned in another comment here. Probably a more suitalbe title would be "an OpenBSD outline".
If 'first' only occurred in 2016, then I would be shocked. Foreign countries being active in attempting to affect the outcome of elections is just accepted. Dropping leaflets from the air to rain down on the population, funneling money in support of favored candidates, etc is all stuff well documented that the CIA has done. Social Media has just made this so much easier for the attacker. Leaflets raining down from the sky is pretty obvious. A social media post is so not obvious. I kind of feel like it's our own damn fault. It seems like the social is all about influencers. Russia used that desire of people to be influence in the most effective way.. It's kind of brilliant at how cunning, cheap, effective it was/is.

I'm hiring for multiple Audio Products Firmware positions in my team at Apple! Come join the group that helped take AirPods from concept to manufacturing.

We work on embedded systems from bare metal to multicore/multiprocessor environments. We primarily write code in C or C++ on an RTOS, but you should be comfortable rolling up your sleeves to dig into the HW (schematics, layouts, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) as well as working up the SW chain (wireless stacks, iOS Apps, etc.).

You will develop at all stages of a product lifecycle with demos, proof-of-concept, simulation, prototypes, form factors, and mass production.

Shoot me a message (my_username at apple dot com) if interested.

I thought that was a tax law thing:
Real Estate Income Trusts don’t pay any tax on their distributions, and nor do you (immediately) if they’re in a tax-deferred or tax-free account.

In other words, holding real estate in a Corp that does other stuff isn’t efficient.
The problem is that markets are so overtuned nowadays. Every trader is just hanging on to every last dot of the fed. The fed should have raised rates a long time ago.

Like, rates in the 70s used to be around 20%. And now, the fed doesn’t have the balls to raise it 500 bips. It’s ridiculous.
You must be joking. $90m, even in the valley is massive, generational wealth. It is the top 1% of the 1% if not higher. You could buy some of the largest mansions in America. It puts you around the wealthiest 30,000 people in America.
Kinda depends on definitions of rural, but I'd guess the vast majority of people living in rural areas (having grown up in one) are not involved in any kind of food or energy production. Most of them are doing hour-long commutes by car into the city for work.
