Oh, absolutely. That's definitely a challenging situation, and naltrexone is something to be considered in the longer term help, like you say. It's just not something we administer in EMS, largely for the same reasons, "treat the life threats", in her case respiratory depression/arrest.
Checkr (YC S14) | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Senior Software Engineers
For the unfamiliar, Checkr's a 5 year old company, redefining the way background checks are run today and how they influence the job market of the future. From the YC S14 class to raising a $100 million Series C in April 2018 to the profitable, fast-growing company we are today, it's been quite the ride.

Even worse, in the same source basic concepts have multiple definitions, partially overlapping, partially contradictory.

This is exactly why I believe C-level officers are grossly overpaid. Previous success does not guarantee future success, especially in different industries, hence they don't know some magic formula to make his salary * 1000 in profits for the shareholders anymore than a mid level manager does.
LOL this is like a hall-of-fame of social media fails.
Transcriptic Is Hiring
Transcriptic (YC W15) | Backend, Full-stack engineers, Designers | Menlo Park, CA | https://transcriptic.com | FULL TIME; ONSITE

Transcriptic is turning life science into an information technology by creating a fully automated cloud wet lab. Scientists anywhere can define and (reproducibly!) run experiments over the internet on-demand and without investing up-front in a lab facility.

The Transcriptic Common Lab Environment (TCLE) takes Autoprotocol (http://autoprotocol.org/), a high-level JSON description of a biological protocol, and executes it on our custom-built robotic workcells. The protocols we handle routinely involve solving constraint programming models with thousands of variables and constraints in order to find the best plan that fulfills the scientist's biological intent.

Scientists manage their experiments through our web application or via our API. We provide a single platform that controls scientific devices from many vendors in a unified way, and an interface to control our automated labs.

Backend engineer (scheduling): https://www.transcriptic.com/hiring/?gh_jid=1092746
Full-stack engineer (web): https://www.transcriptic.com/hiring/?gh_jid=1236117
Front end engineer (web): https://www.transcriptic.com/hiring/?gh_jid=1535939

Tech stack includes: Linux, Scala, RabbitMQ, Rails, Typescript, React, Ansible, Postgres

Benefits include: full medical/dental/vision insurance; catered lunch and dinner, and a fully stocked kitchen; flexible vacation policy; 401(k) with matching; gym and commuter reimbursement; and education reimbursement up to $3,000/year.
VAT is one of the most regressive taxes though, I don’t understand how as a progressive one could see this as a benefit.
I suspect a better way to have divied up at least China and Japan would have been

"Mixture of Buddhism and Shintoism" - Japan
> Or not. A File Picker does not work for playlists, linked MKV/MOV files, subtitles autodetection (subfolders and such), and so many other multimedia cases.

Exactly. HTML files are another victim of this, as with content://-URIs there's no official way to properly resolve relative URIs for any subresources (images, style sheets, scripts and whatnot) or local links, and even if you could, you wouldn't have the permission to access those files anyway. Even Android's included mini HTML-viewer app (or Chrome for that matter) are broken if you try viewing a HTML file using a content://-URI, e.g. from the file explorer that's built-in since Marshmallow.

I opened https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/77406791 for that, but you can guess at the reply I received so far (none - I guess I should be glad they didn't close it outright...)

And another problem is that even if your app has the appropriate storage permissions itself (whether through READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE or the new-fangled way, even if that means dealing with the SAF) and could therefore open both that file and its companion resources without relying on the permissions attached to the content://-URI intent, in practice that's rather difficult because even for local files there's no official link between the content://-URI and the file system location. In practice at least some ContentProviders will leak the path through the URI, allowing you to reconstruct the original file path with a little luck, but that's of course not really a reliable method.
You need onions and ketchup for complete nutrition.
Interesting... when I asked a few years ago, I was told by a French guy that nobody uses courriel in real life and that I'd sound better if I used 'mail' (in french pronunciation).

He was from île de paris; your mileage may vary.
Yep - all the focus on the engineering specifics here seems to miss the sheer magnitude of the thing. Knight risked 4x their annual revenue in under an hour! You can get away with some incredibly crappy systems if you have final-line safeguards like "let's not risk all the money we've ever seen and more without asking a human".

The team of MBAs might screw up an Excel formula and lose money on a deal, but presumably if the math comes out to "let's pay $500 billion for Yahoo", somebody's going sanity-check that before they transfer the money.
Did we read the same article?

You’re implying the article casts doubt on DHA supplement bioavailability. It doesn’t. It casts doubt on any notion some vegans/vegetarians may have that simply eating seaweed in their diet is enough, because there’s doubt on its bioavailability in that form (she even points to fiber as possibly being part of the problem).

That's good to hear. I was worried that C++17 was a major revision to the language. At least Python hasn't had a major release since 2010 (Python 2, anyway).
There’s nothing explicitly wrong with this. MBA’s aren’t intrinsically stupid, and excel is a reasonable tool for calculations. It’s just a pure functional language using geometric space instead of a namespace.

I (and OP for that matter) do mapping with sensors with accuracies that are around 2 cm. I don't know where you got that 1 cm requirement from. ICP/SLAM drift will happen even with a perfect sensor. It really depends on the scale of what you are trying to measure.

I wonder how well Knife Party would do.
Underdiscussed: the horror of missing a couple doses of antidepressants.

Being on such meds may work, keeping the patient stable. Nobody mentions that when a couple doses are missed, the result can be a week of anger & angst as resumed medication balances back out again - living hell not just for the patient, but for those around.

Weaning off such meds is difficult, reducing doses by literally counting out & down individual granules of medicine daily.

Easy to get on. Nightmare to get off.
Our high school physics teacher pushed for alignment of math schedule with physics lessons, as basic mechanics is much more intuitive with the understanding of derivatives, and derivatives get a clear illustration (of the principles, and also of the reasons why one might care about derivatives) in these physics lessons, so it makes sense to teach these topics hand-in-hand.
I think they were just trying to be extremely clear right away that this announcement is not an April Fool's joke.
The paragraph that began "The probability of knowing what an acoustically coupled modem looks like is inversely proportional..." did read (to me) as condescending - but I think we should be generous and assume the author did not intended it to be.

It set the tone that you read in your head, but the rest of the article is fine (and really interesting!) if you can ignore that first paragraph and read it in a neutral tone.
8 hour code test - you are an optimist! :D Recent trend in Silicon Valley is 1 week to 1 month (MVP) coding test in a hot area (e.g. Deep Learning), preferably coming with unique world-class solutions during that time :DDD And you get a phone interview only when you went to a Top 10 school.
Hi Ganesh,

I would be interested in hearing the conclusion to this interaction. Do you have a point of contact where I could reach you at the end of this week?

This could essentially be said about any corporation.
Seems like upper management pays about as much attention to that as the average consumer pays attention to an EULA.

Although I tend to mostly agree with your main argument, the example you presented ( memorizing multiplication tables ) is a bad one.
My mind was blown when I found out how they teach multiplication to children in Japan. Link: ( Vedic method ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4X98Mnj0tc
The superiority of the teaching method shows to be significant when compared to other teaching methods elsewhere and even remains noticeable when children encounter higher levels of math.
Essentially Amazon and Google etc pay little corporation tax due to legal avoidance schemes. VAT is one way to make sure they pay their share.
A Journey – If You Dare – Into the Minds of Silicon Valley Programmers
I too dislike amp, but I don't see this as cloudflare's fault. If anything they're offering a competitor to google who we typically criticize for creating and abusing amp.
I think jQuery and IIFE/AMD modules are fine. Tools for the job, React might be overkill for some smaller apps, and jQuery is a hassle with larger SPA/PWAs.
What's the difference between 1 and 2?
Always continually evaluate your assumptions of who you trust, and always ensure you aren't up a creek if you have to switch providers because of an acquisition. That's why products built on open standards are great: They mean there are already alternatives readily available if you need to switch.
I would not start people new to git on cli. That's how you get someone's entire Camera Uploads directory committed to master (I've seen it before). I recommend Git Tower. I use it for most tasks actually even though I am comfortable in the CLI too. It tends to stop me from doing stupid things before I do them.
> Not sure how you could get power armor early.

In San Francisco. It was (AFAIR) in the lower left corner of the map. Like I described, you could get there easily straight from starting location, if your "A" mashing skill was good enough.
The problem is that candidate is undistinguishable from a chameleon who will be pushed around either by popular sentiment, special interests, eventually adopt policies you disagree with etc. Taking some kind of concrete stand at least lays a base of where they're coming from and provides metrics of success or failure once in office.

The blank slate is more high risk high reward I guess.
Saying UBI would grow the economy is not the same thing as saying that UBI growth would pay for UBI. My understanding is that Yang doesn't include it in the 3tn - most comes from replacing existing welfare programs and VAT.
Being a (1) "good grades" person trying to (2) solve "bad grades" problems (like things the govt. does) and (3) having essentially no personal experience in "bad grades" problems is a recipe for disaster.

I keep talking to my wife about this in her work. She can't properly manage anyone but the "A and B+ students." She tells people exactly what they should be doing, largely leaves it up to them as to how it fits in with the bigger picture, then expects them to do it. The problem comes in with her reports who are the "B-, C, and D" students. They don't follow her instructions, they're oblivious as to how what they're doing might affect the rest of the company, and she doesn't know how to change their behavior. (She doesn't have full power over hiring. I keep telling her she should work for a startup.)

The real problem is that when you're so deep in the thick of good grades, it's so extremely hard to open up your perspective. You think you're entitled to make all the decisions, and you think wielding power safely is to do so while expressing photographed emotions between dispassionate and smiling.

I wonder if this is what high level Chinese officialdom is like? I've often heard the quip that in the US, politicians are mostly lawyers, while in China, they're mostly engineers.
As a backend developer I am in the "jquery is fine" crowd =)

I'm always able to accomplish what I need without a lot of headache, though I'm not making gigantic SPA frontends.

There are very few people using go and rust for website backends. And kubernetes and docker are about deployment, not development.

If you are a backend developer, working in Ruby/Rails, or Php/Laravel, or Python/Django, or whatever, then I think you have a more than sufficient set of tools to do what you need to do, without worrying about much outside of that. It's a much more sane and stable experience than trying to be a frontend JS dev today.
This is a very true statement. And in a very literal way, the dark matter analogy is spot on.
The problem though is that executives need some set of a few hundred numbers they can use to track the state of a company. For just my job alone I could generate more metrics then that to properly characterize our state and problem space -- but then an exec would need to deal with thousands and thousands of numbers.

Sorta sucks, but that's how it goes. Good execs manage a sufficiently decentralized system, but they still need SOME set of summary numbers.
That is exactly the point. I'm not constantly optimizing my salary, so if I do get a significantly better offer, it'd better be because you couldn't afford to make me one that was competitive. Otherwise, screw you, I no longer want to work for you anyway.
I had the same reaction. As I was reading the article, I started asking myself "Hold on, what's in it for you? You're still a private company. How are you going to make money?". I then reached the "Ok, Sure, But You’re Still a Profit-Seeking Company" section. It's as if the article was reading my mind.

Every free product comes with a catch. When this catch is not clearly explained by the company, I always feel it's because the reason is too "shady" to acknowledge publicly (like Gmail and Facebook gathering data for advertisers). I'm probably naive to believe the reason here is vastly different, but the tone and style of this article puts Cloudflare closer to Apple than to Google privacy-wise in my eyes.
