Discord is where over 200M gamers gather together and play together.

Fullstack Software Engineer (React + Python): https://discordapp.com/jobs/4006662002

HN we have another Unannounced Project, this time for the app itself, and are looking for creative engineers with React and Python experience to join us in inventing it.
We all come from varying backgrounds here, so do not be dissuaded if you do not have a CS degree (I don't). What we do share is a love of Discord, and an ability to solve hard problems together.
This is a new project, and I can let you know more about it once you get in touch.
We can support many Visa needs, but not remote work.

Isn't that biased too? You always have some people who think you're good at your job and some people who think you're not. A job-seeker would only seek recommendations from people s/he believes think highly of them.

Revolut has the same Electronic Money license in the UK as TransferWise, meaning that the money is parked at a regular bank in the UK, but not under your own name. However, Revolut received a banking license in Lithuania in December 2018, and should soon start operating as a normal bank with the standard 100,000€ insurance, demanded by the EU. Yet, if Revolut failed at some point in the future, it's unclear how the Bank of Lithuania would be able to cope with the liability, since Revolut already has more users than there are people in Lithuania[1].

* Distributed systems (Golang, Docker, Kubernetes)

* Full-stack Engineer

* Enterprise UI/UX Designer

* Senior Technical Writer/Evangelist

https://jobs.lever.co/pachyderm/

Pachyderm is an enterprise data science platform.

Data teams that find themselves struggling to maintain a growing mess of advanced data science tasks such as machine learning or bioinformatics/genomics use Pachyderm to greatly simplify their workflow and reduce development time. They rely on Pachyderm to do the heavy lifting so they can focus on the business logic in their data pipelines.

Data pipelines in Pachyderm are defined by Docker containers which allows data scientists to build production grade pipelines out of any languages and libraries. Pachyderm also tracks the lineage and versioning of your data as it flows through pipelines, giving you deep insight into where data came from and how it's changed over time.
I believe we should talk more about men's issues, but this article/stat doesn't look honest.

Here is a stat of absolute number of males/females with higher education in US. Only recently it evened out:

Obviously, if the trend continues, we will have a real college degree gap soon, so this may be a good moment to warn against it. But let's not use twisted statistics for it.

Often Prolog implementations in Lisp used a lisp-like syntax. They were not concerned with reading standard Prolog code.

Several implementations support(ed) standard Edinburgh-Prolog syntax. For example the LispWorks implementation of Prolog supports both: http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw71/KW-W/html/kwprol...
Ask HN: Whois records for Amazon Route 53?
Is there a way to access whois records for Route 53? I cannot for the life of me find a way to query their domain records. If I lookup a domain registered through Route 53 using another whois lookup tool, it will point me to `registrar.amazon.com` which just redirects to the Route 53 landing page. I have crawled through their entire sitemap looking for a search tool but have yet to find one.

Anyone have any info on accessing whois records for Route 53? Thanks.

This makes sense. Primaries are internal party business. It's totally up to them to decide how they select their candidates.

Lyft’s IPO Filing Finally Drops: Here’s What You Need to Know
People jump to clickbait way too quickly these days, the title is clearly tongue-in-cheek.
It was setuid root but dropped privilege, but the dropping privilege came after parsing the command arguments and doing initialization, so there was a small time window while it still runs as root and in that time it could be tricked into overriding any file.
I've been traveling a LOT (from San Francisco to Taiwan) with my Monzo/Revolut and the only problems I had were in Cancun were Revolut's "location-based withdrawal" was detecting the charge to be too far from my phone. I had to disable it to make it work.

I was going to say emacs too.

GNU emacs goes back to 1985, although I used TECO emacs before that.

But ed is older, although what is in use today is probably GNU ed, which was written after GNU emacs.

Discord has become a pretty standard messaging app for non-gaming communities for a while now. Its getting to the point where it can simply be thought of as big.

I would love it if I could always see the top three possible interpretations of what I just said to my phone. It's interesting watching the speech recognition think about what's being said and flip words around once it has enough context.
You said:

> Republicans would prefer to poison the water of local communities and refuse to look at better alternatives.

The report says:

> EPA found scientific evidence that hydraulic fracturing activities can impact drinking water resources under some circumstances. The report identifies certain conditions under which impacts from hydraulic fracturing activities can be more frequent or severe:

Water withdrawals for hydraulic fracturing in times or areas of low water availability, particularly in areas with limited or declining groundwater resources;

Spills during the handling of hydraulic fracturing fluids and chemicals or produced water that result in large volumes or high concentrations of chemicals reaching groundwater resources;

Injection of hydraulic fracturing fluids into wells with inadequate mechanical integrity, allowing gases or liquids to move to groundwater resources;

Injection of hydraulic fracturing fluids directly into groundwater resources;

Discharge of inadequately treated hydraulic fracturing wastewater to surface water; and

Disposal or storage of hydraulic fracturing wastewater in unlined pits resulting in contamination of groundwater resources.

Data gaps and uncertainties limited EPA’s ability to fully assess the potential impacts on drinking water resources locally and nationally. Because of these data gaps and uncertainties, it was not possible to fully characterize the severity of impacts, nor was it possible to calculate or estimate the national frequency of impacts on drinking water resources from activities in the hydraulic fracturing water cycle.

I don't disagree with the report. I disagree with you.

What are your thoughts?
From what I have read they look at different factors like chemical composition and visual, not just a single factor. So if you have something to be made of x AND look like Y then there is a high probability it has been caused by Z.
That's the last official release, 5.7 & 5.8 are leaked betas.
I have Monzo and Revolut and they do charge you later for tips last time I checked. But it would be great if they couldn't, it's a huge security fail in my opinion.

Checked Monzo again, they have this in american transactions:

> Restaurants in the USA

> Restaurants in the USA are a bit of a special case. The waiter runs your card for the meal's amount and then, after youtip, they cancel the first transaction and charge you again for the meal plus your generous tip.

> REAL TIME

> The problem is that, until the first transaction reverses (10 days later) we don't have a way to tell that the restaurant charged you once or twice.

> Legacy banks will block the initial transaction amount in your account and release it 10 days later, but only the amount + tip will appear in your statement :)

I think it's actually the other way around. Ricardo's models show that individuals stand to gain from trading with individuals who have different opportunity costs, and at least in simplified scenarios it seems to check out. It's when you look at the bigger picture that things get tricky. Does country A want to rely on country B for oil/food/weapons/whatever-else-they-need-to-survive? That could cause issues. Are imports causing competition with a fledgling segment of your economy that you want to become competitive on the global stage, but which isn't yet? Maybe importing massive amounts of cheap electronics today will prevent you from becoming a major exporter of electronics in the future, because local investment of time and money will be directed elsewhere; maybe this is fine, and maybe it isn't, depending on your goals. There are reasons to block trade that don't have to do with immediate efficiency. Absent of these reasons, Ricardo (sadly) seems to be mostly correct.

Edit: "the other way around" isn't quite right, I thought you were making a point besides the one you were actually making. Hurpadurpa.

> Exterminating the billionaire class (by taking their money) would be a great thing for society.

I suppose a class of actual slaves would be a great thing for society, too. It's easy when you define slaves, or billionaires, as being outside society and therefore subject to depredation.

Fortunately, advances in the theory of human rights as extending to all people have put an end to such thinking.
Revenue is how much people have paid them. Since costs > revenue, their profit is negative. The loss already takes into account their revenue.

Where I've lived (several places in the west), this is well understood and controlled burns/fuel reduction incentives have been long standing policies. I can't say that's the case everywhere, but it definitely is everywhere I've lived.

My family used to go and collect wood from such an area: the policy was to pull all the downed trees and scrub into piles. The forest service allowed people to take wood for free from these piles. What was left was burned, after people took the good logs and it dried out. I still visit this place regularly, and the policy is still the same.

It's become harder to do controlled burns, because in drought conditions, the season where it is safe to do so has become short to non-existent.

I think this argument is popular because it is a way to blame "liberal" environmental policy for the fires.
If you've built a heterogenous environment at the end of three years, then you've failed.

The reason that AWS, Google, Azure, et.al do so well is that they don't just buy some servers. They do actual capacity maangement, and not a very good job of it I might add. They also manage the lifecycle of every component in the infrastructure such that the next iteration of that component is understood and interchangeable.

Network architecture, for example, should suit the needs of the application, but should also be decoupled from the underlying hardware as that hardware is going to evolve.

Compute is fairly straightforward as well. At the data center level, one makes a bunch of 400W holes. What you fill those 400W holes with is relatively irrelevant.

A great idea from a company trying and hopefully succeeding in not being a one trick pony, or stuck on their cash cow/core business. Their strategic thinking is top notch... From the article:

"It is interesting to think about how this might work strategically for Casper’s business. People don’t buy mattresses very often, and the challenge for a company like Casper is that it spends a lot of money acquiring a customer. Once it has sold them a mattress, the relationship would be over if not for follow-on products (hence pillows, bedding, etc). By launching additional products, Casper can invite its customers to build a lasting relationship and spend more money.

For Casper, it is imperative to extend the lifetime value (LTV) of its customers by continuing to expand its product line, but why the tech complexity? Perhaps to get people on a software platform? Casper’s Chief Product Officer Jeff Chapin realistically admits “There are some people who are never going to download the app and that’s fine.”
This could probably use a (2018) in the title.
You can always ask for more, the worst thing that can happen is that they say "No". I would suggest you put together a list of successful projects and tasks you have worked on and present that to your manager with an ask for a raise. Make your case that you have demonstrated value and think your compensation should better reflect your value.

I don't know where you are in the world, but where I am (in Pittsburgh, PA, USA) a jr dev with 1 year of experience and a good track record could ask for $20-25/hr without issue. You also don't mention what work you have been doing, that can change the money equation a lot.

Negotiation is a difficult skill to learn, but it can be very rewarding. Good Luck.
