Elevate Security | Software Engineers, DevOps | Berkeley, Montreal | Onsite, Full-time

Human error accounts for 90% of security breaches. But to help employees stand up to sophisticated hackers, security teams have had to rely on mind-numbing, one-size-fits-all video training delivered once a year. Security folks hate rolling it out, and employees hate taking it.
Using big data we identify organizations strongest links and help create a People-powered security program to stop security breaches.

Our technology stack includes Python, Django/Flask, AWS, Postgres, React/Redux. We just raised our series A and are looking to grow fast!

We are currently hiring for Senior Software Engineers and DevOps developers in both our Berkeley and Montreal offices. Either apply through our careers page or directly at mitchell [at] elevatesecurity.com

>Generally speaking, bigoted speech should be disqualifying.

Wouldn't that also disqualify those who who call for her removal or is that an acceptable type of bigotry?
Those are the two largest keys on most keyboards. The space bar as also located along the edge closest to the user, making it the easiest key to hit. Having the two largest targets on a keyboard being the special combination for a factory reset is aweful. That's a coercion to foul your system. I hit space and enter quite often, but I don't wipe my OS often... Why convolute those operations? Because it's designed to push you back to Google's domain.
If you provide regular raises and don’t treat people poorly, you’ll be fine.

The bigger point in that article is that you need to look at people holistically.
An allergy isn't a moral choice. Not eating meat is, for many people at least.
Genuinely curious: Why don't the applicants give up and go back to their home countries ? H1B processing is very slow, Green Cards are taking decades, so is it still worth it ?

We are a small team looking to work with an Intructional designer/Course creator who is good with course authoring tools including but not limited to Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, Rise etc. Ideally, you love being creative and helping customers create nice online courses. Send email to yc@treftsystems.com. Rates are open for the right person depending on how good you are.
I should probably qualify that I am not a physisist, but that also strikes me as expected. In theory, a dark matter particle is in orbit of the center of gravity [0]. However, an object is fastest when it is at the lowest point in its object. This would mean that no individual particle is hovering on the outskirts, but each particle spends most of its time there. As a result, at any given time, that is where the majority of the particles are.

I have no idea how elliptical their orbits are, so it is also possible that their orbits just never take them near the center, in which case my initial condition of 0 velocity would be innacurate. (Which is good news unless we want to reinvent the Ether)

[0] I practice, this is probably a nasty n-body problem as the mass is so diffuse, so "orbit" may be misleading here.
> Very interesting, especially for someone which psychosis was alcohol induced

My earlier comment about the reason some people find alcohol to be so seductive: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14085230

> I avoid coconut oil because of the fats, but I will change it now!

If you're avoiding sugar too, try salted orange juice. This is a good source of sugar and potassium. If your OJ isn't very sweet you can add a spoonful of sugar.

> I already noticed probiotic foods make me much happier.

Good observation. Less-desirable intestinal microorganisms create endotoxin, which have to be detoxified by the liver.

> Cortisol is a stress hormone, how can a deficiency cause psychosis?

Cortisol tells the body to get more sugar into circulation. Cortisol levels are highest in the morning, when it's been the longest since the last meal. Cortisol is released when blood sugar gets low, or when a person might suddenly need a jolt of sugar to respond to a threatening situation.

My current understanding is that when a person runs low on fuel (sugar), their body will compensate by putting its most fuel-hungry organ (the brain) into hibernation: "psychosis".

Alcoholics train their nervous system to run on alcohol. People who become psychotic from alcohol withdrawal need help avoiding alcohol, and retraining their nerves to run on sugar. (Edit: alcoholic psychosis is some combination of inflammation, insulin resistance and fuel deprivation.)

Request HN: Can Someone Make a Dumb Phone for USA?
Last year I shut down all our internet services for everyone in my home (me, my wife and our kids), so that all we have now are a landline and radio, no internet or television or texting or TV or anything. Our lives have become significantly happier since then. We have so much more time to do anything we want, we feel so much less overwhelmed and distracted, and we're starting to live full, active and fulfilling lives.

But we would like to text and make phone calls while on the go, without the constant temptation to be connected to emails, Facebook, and browsers all the time. So I have been searching the web for a month looking for a "dumb phone", a phone that doesn't have anything but text and phone, not even a "home screen". Something like you would see in the 90s. But it just doesn't exist.

Maybe there's no market for it, but maybe there will be one if you make it and market it well. And that's what you guys are good at.
This is awesome! I love CloudFlare's services and I'd trust them to provide a really secure, fast VPN (free to boot!)

1. Is there a public endpoint for boringtun/noise? For playing with
2. Any chance the client (desktop) will be open source? Would love to help if possible.
3. Any interest in a WebRTC (and webRequestBlocking) based chrome extension/client?
That would probably not need anything special installed on desktops and would be awesome
They could just re-release the mid-2014 15", and I think they'd sell a bunch of them.

Add a motherboard update to new CPU and make it expandable to 32GB RAM, and they'd fly off the shelves.
Good point. But I wonder if they would be just as successful in another business. e.g. If the barber suddenly opened up a restaurant. The important point is, it's the fact that this person with this set of skills that include being a barber and their business acumen that allows them to succeed. Remove one, I don't think they'd be as successful in starting a new business.
recruiters cast drift nets to rake in resume hauls.
From NumPy, you get fast (vectorized) operations on large multidimensional arrays of numbers. This bit not be so useful outside of a data-science context but it depends on what it is you _are_ doing. Most graphics stuff is also arrays of numbers, for example. Also lots of useful indexing/slicing/masking/filtering on those structures. You can also have non-numeric multidimensional arrays, but the performance part might not be there depending on the type.

Pandas adds utility methods like join, groupby, and fromsql. Also hierarchical indexing, and a bunch of other stuff that I don't know much about - I'm not in data-science either, but I work with some of them.

Overall, lots of useful stuff for processing tables locally once you've fetched them from SQL or similar. Also, the simple fact of having a tabular data structure without needing to define a custom Row class. Lists of dicts or tuples have a lot of overhead by comparison.
I've got you beat regarding feedback. I applied to a backend position looking for 3-5 years of backend experience, and was told I "didn't have enough API experience." I had 5 years of backend experience at the time. Literally all I do is write, modify, and interact with APIs.
How many hours do you reCAPTCHA per week?
I didn't count, but I've spend too much time solving reCAPTCHAS. Google should be paying us for that. I'd guess an AI creates the tasks and x humans verify it -> the AI learns. Whatever their profitmodel is besides tracking, we should get money for that. For giving our data (another topic) and for every hour of solving those damn captchas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B4bEXLJIl8
Sometimes it can be useful for the user to have software they provably can't tamper with. The Golem project is making a marketplace for distributed computing where anyone can offer to sell computing power. Users who submit workloads have the option of requiring that their workload execute inside of a secure enclave, so that whoever hosts their workload can't read its resources or tamper with it.

By owning a CPU with a secure enclave feature, you gain the ability for people to trust you to not be able to tamper with their workloads. I think of this has a very pro-user feature in this scenario.
Yep. I'm not at all a vegetarian, but I will definitely try it, and if it's as good as they say, I see no reason to not prefer it. There's a small subset of the population for whom meat consumption is some kind of cultural statement, but most really only just care about taste, I think. If the same taste can be had in a healthier package and without killing anything, it's a win-win.
If you want a cheaper alternative to the Beyond Burger or Impossible Burger, try MorningStar's "Meat Lovers" burger. IMO it's just as good, with 27g of protein and without as much saturated fat.
Some people work effectively only if you micromanage them. Some work effectively only if you're hands off.

There is no one technique fits everyone.

As for deadlines, you cannot manage a complex project with multiple teams without deadlines. After all, if you're building a car, you can't afford to hold up everything while you wait for the wheel department to get around to delivering wheels.

As for me personally, without deadlines I tend to procrastinate.
This is what so sad about tech, it gives those in power unprecedented abilities to control the population. Essentially heading back to slavery through technology with no way out for the slaves anymore.
> go find another job every 2 years

this actually isn't bad advice

> companies will not give you more responsibility or more difficult things to do

i find this is true only in large corporate enterprises. or a lack of initiative on the employee themself. you won't find this in startups / younger / tech focused companies

> If you want something higher then you have to be an expert in a domain

yes generally if you want higher responsibility you need to be able to execute on those responsibilities...
Standards created before any software ecosystem exists to give feedback and evidence on what the standards should be, seldom turn out well.

If they had just created all of those standards and central systems _before_ rolling out EHR to everyone, I doubt it would have gone any better, honestly.

The articles does go into some of the social/political influences that led to a requirement or incentives for everyone to have EHS before anyone knew what it was going to look like, at a speed that prevented incremental piece-by-piece development of the ecosystem and adjustments to requirements, standards, and best practices based on what was found.

Without such an incremental process, I think it would be doomed no matter what.
Indeed. I think I am going to start downvoting posts that quote by (or otherwise use) indention. It's unreadable on mobile. Why is this so hard to fix?
The USB-C issue alone is resulting in me returning a recently purchased $2K DongleBook Pro for an earlier version without all of the issues.
> ...HR is NOT about risk taking.

Bingo!

If non-traditional applicants go "through the front door" by applying/submitting their resume through the usual channels at a big corp, they'll get nowhere.

HR job-applicant pipelines are DESIGNED to screen out, ruthlessly, as many applicants as possible. Anyone who has even a mildly deviant career trajectory is not going to make it to a phone interview by "uploading" their resume.

HOWEVER, if such applicants can get their foot in the door by exercising their professional network or by carefully messaging and persuading the right people, they can get through to an interview.
I feel like Apple's design lineage is such that they have accumulated enough "classic" form factors to maybe have a "classics"/"heritage" model. like the last-gen 13" pro and the air.

Some things are timeless. I know The Steve had the Icon Garden destroyed to be "forward looking" and all but...

(granted, same w/ cars and furniture. except more pedestrian regulations that affect car shape and would prevent a Pininfarina ferrari 250 or a BMW e9 from being built today...)
Any links about Sweden? Most voucher efforts in the US seem to work by taking the best students and/or most engaged parents out of the public schools. And Swedish PISA test scores seem to have floated around 500 for the last 15 years, with a slight downward trend, if any.
>> I quit wasting my time with Flask for projects a while ago. It's a really great project and suited for smaller things, but you just end up re-implenting django

This is spot on .... Flask is great, but it seems that to get anything substantial done with Flask you must first reimplement big chunks of Djangoesque functionality in it - why not just jump straight to Django?
Wow, today I learned something. I am shocked that deep red states (Alaska, Wyoming, Texas) tax something that a deep blue state (California) does not.

FWIW keyboard failures, lackluster upgrades, and the touchbar that looked gizmo-y but not useful led me to try a Dell XPS laptop a few years ago after nothing but Mac for 15 years. Windows is pretty good these days and nearly all my stuff works in WSL. I'm not going back.
Loosely related - this is what terrifies me about deploying to cloud services like Google which have no hard limit on monthly spend - if background jobs get stuck in an infinite loop using 100% CPU while I'm away camping, my fledgling business could be bankrupt by the time I get phone signal back.
Not sure about others but I and many of my coworkers sell RSUs immediately. Many companies offer RSUs, not options, which have guaranteed value.

It's riskier than cash but definitely real compensation and not the monopoly money that options end up becoming.
When cities/states rolled out wide license plate reader networks, wasn't the resulting data also shared with many government agencies, but not accessible by the public? I'm sure the justification for not allowing that data to be public is "well, if we let people access this data, surely it would be immediately abused." And I'm sure that's true. And it's also true that the data is immediately abused when shared only with government agencies.
I concur with the wisdom of software engineering. How could all of those lawyers and governors of men have gotten it so wrong?

Nothing is more democratic and stable than a system where bad agents only need to convince one podunk town which can locally supercede federal legislation to legalize kickbacks and completely break everything.
I'd just take a model that enables NVME..I have the last model where the hardware was there but they were emulating SATA still

This could work great mounted to a drone, to operate without being tracked by the remaining surveillance cameras.

The problem is that the stakes are quite high, and a gradually creeping occupation doesn't lend itself to a flashpoint of popular opinion saying enough is enough.

This might be a great nonmurder application for an assassination-market style thing though.
Has anyone else read the novel Golden State by Ben H. Winters? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39599913-golden-state

He describes an extrapolation of our world's recent history, one in which "reality" is captured for posterity by omnipresent cameras. Citizens record the details of each day by taking written notes of encounters, in addition to stamping pages of their day book with "conversation stamps". These stamps establish the presence of a person in the company of another, thus allowing "reality" to be pieced together later on. In short, citizens of the Golden State consider reality precious, and go to great lengths in order to record & preserve the events of each day, however minute they may seem.

Ben Winters is a great author, one of my favorite sci-fi craftsmen. He had me hooked throughout the novel, in no small part because I kept alternating between two emotional extremes. On one hand, I was abhorred by such systemic invasion of privacy. At the same time I saw obvious benefits that stemmed from systemic, society-fracturing lies having been banished from the Golden State universe.

You missed the part where you chose an in-network can (hospital) that is filled with out-of-network soda (doctors).
not a joke: in my experience, java is faster than C in developing, maintaining, and supporting any substantially large and complex system.
>"Being a border city and a major military hub for the Navy and Marines, surveillance technology being developed by businesses here have been a response to these types of organizations' needs and challenges."

The border already has border security and military bases already have existing security. What specific "needs" and "challenges" does San Diego currently have that are not fulfilled by those existing systems and requires the deployment of all pervasive surveillance throughout the entire city?
Podcast: On Becoming a Technology Leader from a Technologist
Yes!

Routing VPNs through Tor is a great way to avoid site discrimination against Tor users. But there are two key problems. One is that you degrade Tor anonymity, because Tor can't switch circuits (normally at ~10 minute interval). And also because you typically must pay for VPN services.

The other problem is that Tor only routes TCP traffic. So when you use TCP-based VPNs routed through Tor, and are using HTTPS or some other TCP flavor, you get the TCP-in-TCP horrors. There's too much error correction.

So yes, Cloudflare would need to allow Warp via Tor. Or maybe even better, Warp via Tor via Warp. And also it would need to protect Tor anonymity.

Cool idea, though :)

Do you think that is only a problem in government? Fads are a fundamental part of human nature.

In tech, we have many examples: Agile, Ruby on Rails, React, RISC, OOP, microservices, and so on and so on. All have some real benefits, but also have or have had huge hype cycles.

You can make the same argument for most other industries (if not all of them). And then there are things like diets, religions, etc.
Completely derailed my career. Wrote a ZX-Spectrum game and refused to port it to MSX. The pay for the ZX game was a compiler so I doubt much would have come of it anyway.
There's no hard rules about app separation. Here are some from my experience:

- You may have stuff that may be re-used for multiple projects. For example the departments of your organization and their attributes; these should be extracted to apps so they can be easily used for other projects. Of course this would make sense if you are a software house or an organization that need multiple apps (i.e a bank) not if you are working for a single application.

- Django recommends using a custom user model. I put that in a separate app along with any related classes like user preferences etc. See also my previous bullet.

- Non related models. If you add a model that doesn't have any relation to the rest of your models then maybe you should move it to a different app? For example in one of my applications I have a NewsItem model that is just a bunch of notes that the admins can add and will be visible to the homepage; there's no need to put it in with the rest of the app (of course this also obeys the 1st bullet)

- Beyond that, usually you'll understand when you have to separate your apps. You don't need to force it, I know of huge apps with a models or views py with thousands of lines (of course in such cases even if you think that these should belong to the same app nothing's stopping you from making them a package instead of a module). However you'll usually come to a point where you think that for your reasons you need to separate
If I was a journalist covering any sort of geopolitical stuff I'd 100% have my phone reviewed by infosec experts regularly and change devices frequently. And ideally use separate phones for external work related contacts, day-to-day in-office work, and personal life.
I dont mean to be alarmist but taking benzodiazepines for an extended time (anything more than 2 weeks is probably a bad idea, especially with strong ones such as clonazepam), is definitely not a great idea. There is a very prolonged withdrawal syndrome, with many not reporting feeling completely better after many years in cases of high dose long term usage.

You may take the view that you can always take them, but circumstances change (your doctor may no longer be allowed/feel comfortable prescribing for a long time - this happened with opiods) or you may not be able to get access with them for other reasons.

The drugs will most likely stop working or rapidly increase in side effects after very long term use, it's generally just a matter of time.

I would strongly recommend you get a plan to taper if possible and look into alternatives. Many think the benzodiazepine withdrawal is as bad if not worse than opioid (plus it can be lethal).
In this case psychiatry covers up the symptoms with stimulants (that further degrade sleep) while neurology can effectively fix the bad sleep. Psychiatry provides a poorly fitting bandage while neurology has something on par with a cure. There's no better example that I'm aware of.
Thank you for your post. I've read that Boeing removed the "yoke jerk" function on the 737 MAX. The flight 302 PIC might have been trying to use it and I have not read whether that functional change was clearly explained to pilots. Many commentators don't seem to realize the extreme low altitude at which this particular struggle was occurring.
