Lightning Labs | Frontend Developer, Crypto Protocol Engineer, Dev Ops, Infrastructure | San Francisco | Onsite or Remote | Full-time

https://angel.co/lightning/ https://lightning.engineering/

Lightning Labs is hiring! We’re looking to expand our team to build technology that scales Bitcoin and blockchains. Our current focus is the development and deployment of the Lightning Network, an open blockchain scalability protocol. We push the edge of innovation with regard to blockchain scalability, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and cryptocurrency UX. If you’re interested in one of the positions below, please send a brief description of your relevant experience and resume/github to jobs@lightning.engineering. And if you know someone who might be a good fit, we'd very much appreciate any referrals.

{Crypto Protocol Engineer}:

Experienced systems software engineer versed in applied cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, distributed systems, open source software, and cryptocurrency protocols to design and implement core protocol and algorithmic components of the Lightning Network. Solid programming skills, experience with Go, C, or C++. Prior contributions to crypto protocols and open source software collaboration preferred.

{Frontend Application Developer}:

Frontend developer to build secure cross-platform second-layer blockchain applications. Our applications are built on React, React Native, MobX, and Electron, communicating with a Lightning daemon over a binary RPC protocol. Ideal applicants will have experience building and shipping React Native applications and maintaining open source projects.

{Infrastructure and Distributed Systems Engineer}:

Systems-oriented engineer to build highly-available, secure systems, lowering the barrier to entry for operating routing nodes and making Lightning more useable in general. Tasks include writing advanced software tooling for automated channel management, initial client channel selection (autopilot), ongoing capital management and optimization, monitoring infrastructure for routing nodes, and creating novel systems for obtaining and managing channel liquidity within the network.

{DevOps Engineer}:

We currently deploy a number of backend services that make Lightning easier to use built on technology such as: etcd, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, and Traefik. Your role would be to help us secure and scale these systems via intelligent automation and robust service architecture. Experience with AWS is a bonus, as well as experience with Bitcoin, particularly in the area of key management.
If I was forced to use a bike lane all the time, without an easy way to bypass people/things, I wouldn't use the bike lane. With maybe the exception of non-busy times like at night, or the road option is very high speed or somehow hostile to bikes.
In an app I agree. On a website signup however..?
It's worth noting that last time I tried, you can't use this character to tweet a seemingly blank tweet. Twitter correctly disallows this as it would if you tried to tweet a normal space character and nothing else. However, there are plenty of other non-printing unicode characters that you can still use to tweet a seemingly empty tweet.

Hacker News also disallows this in its comments. YMMV with other non-printing characters.
There are plenty of applications that don't actually care about the additional data they could arguably get from a Google/Facebook login, and only offer it because one click sign-up/login drives more signups.
Apple announces redesigned Mac Pro
Speed is usually not an issue on city roads. Turns and blind spots are bad. Some people try to pass just so they can get to the next red light quicker. Usually if its congested enough that its not safe for a car to pass a cyclist the cyclist is usually able to go faster than traffic. Cars lose a lot of time decelerating and accelerating for frequent stops. Its even an annoyance to the biker because on car is hit about wanting to pass and then the biker keeps waiting at intersections for cars to get up to speed.
That twitter thread had a link to a video where you can see the actual shootings (NSFW, blood gore):

Maybe I'm cynical, but this looks more like a data hording scheme than a protect my privacy enhancement. If I use Google to sign in, Google and the app has that data and can monetize it.

Now if I sign in using Apple, they are going to have the data to monetize. They may keep the app from getting my information, but that means that their data is better than someone else's data, so it is more valuable. Also, they are getting app usage statistics that I may have opted out of at the OS level, but they now have due to having the sign in history.
I’m curious which city you’re in.

Not that it’s this simple, but it seems to me that any one of those electric bike-share users would otherwise be contributing to localized and global pollution and congestion through the use of a car. Additionally, the lack of infrastructure (i.e. protected/expanded bike lanes) would might explain why it seems like those cyclists “a danger to everyone”.
Looky | Software Engineer, Front-end | Oakland, CA | Onsite| Fulltime

We are Looky, a VC funded (Accel) seed stage startup. We're currently at 6 people looking to add an awesome Frontend focused engineer.

Our founder, Steve McCanne, has got a pretty impressive track record: A former Associate Professor of CompSci at Berkeley, he's founded numerous success startups including Riverbed which went from nothing to IPO in 4 years with over 2000 employees and a 7.6B market cap.

We're looking to disrupt the massive Network Security market with a forward looking product. We are building a blazing fast log analytics search engine in golang and a super cool, very original Electron-based search client- think Kibana but way better.

Perhaps I'm a little biased but this is a pretty sweet opportunity :)

I'm the technical lead for the project. Would love to buy you a coffee and chat!

(We're still working on our public website)

I yearn to see a city in the US make its city center area car-free for a year (not a weekend thing as has been done already) just to see how it goes over the course of a year or so. Cars won't disappear, so there'll need to be some kind of parking on the outskirts, but I just want to see if it's feasible (admittedly I want it to be, but am willing to be proven wrong).
I wonder why Uber and Lyft hasn't come with their own version of screens on the back showing ads.
> No way we should be stuck with $~7500 per square foot construction costs...

I think that should be $750 per square foot...
Off the top of my head, I don't have a bunch of links, but it is my impression that propaganda and counter-propaganda are extremely important strategic ongoing activities for all major governments including the US. This is due to the relationship between overt state activities (i.e., they need to be motivated by ethical concerns) and the press.
Tython | Salesforce Software Engineer | San Diego, CA | Full-time or Part-time | ONSITE or REMOTE (PDT +/- 3) | https://www.tython.co

Tython provides consulting services to Salesforce partners, customers, and ISVs with a focus on lightning web components, Apex development, and backend integrations.

Tython is currently a two man show, but we're looking to build out a fun, diverse, and supportive team of both junior and experienced Salesforce software engineers. Reach out if you would enjoy working with a small group, having a flexible work schedule, and building complex applications/integrations with the Salesforce platform.

We're looking for a software engineer first and foremost, but there will also be a consultant aspect to the role as some client interaction may be necessary to go over requirements/deliverables. We're definitely open to helping a strong developer not already familiar with Salesforce transition to the platform, but candidates would ideally already have experience in the following:

- Lightning Component (Aura/Web) Development

- Apex Development

- SFDX

Interested? Send your resume to careers@tython.co (no recruiters please)
Object-Oriented Programming in Python vs. Java
But in return for that, the services that choose to employ this will get a soft guarantee that the person signing up is unique/real. Its a way to get real-name/real-id with some amount of privacy.
I am not positive, but I think Mechanical Engineer.

"Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies engineering, physics, engineering mathematics, and materials science principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering

My father was one, but designed gas compressors for oil & gas industry.
I agree that it is great. I'm not sure how we convince people to not signup on sites that don't offer this SSO option. I've always struggled with the question of 'How do we convince people to care about privacy when they post their location and meal to a public social media every hour?'.
Paperbacks have traditionally been published on unbleached, cheaper paper. That's where the term "pulp" fiction comes from. It starts as tan and yellows over time.

But broadly yes, until the advent of chemical bleaching in the 19th century basically all paper products were a light tan. Ditto for animal hide writing media
> it's incorrect to say that platforms' refusal to host certain content is circumventing freedom of speech.

I think there's an argument to be made that this stance is incompatible with Marsh v. Alabama given the reach and impact of certain platforms, but I digress.

My real point was less that platforms should be mandated to host speech and more that extra-legal pressure from governments is a convenient method for suppressing or promoting information, especially when mechanisms for doing that within platforms already exist. These aren't incompatible- you could, for instance, really trust the moderation team of a particular platform and want them to be able to implement their moderation decisions (i.e not engage in compelled speech by being forced to not delete white supremacist content) while also not wanting those moderation decisions to be unduly influenced by government pressure.
Show HN: We design next gen of happy cities for the shared economy of India
While I agree with you, in most cases that's only because they won't be policed... which also makes it a terrible place for all the other folks who need housing, when bullies move in. There are real on going labor/maintenance costs with providing housing to many homeless... even beyond the standard social services that are required.
Yes, that's deliberate.

If you use an ordinary `when` (with its statement(s) on the right) then P6 assumes it should succeed with the value of the last statement of the matched `when`. To succeed means to leave the block and return that last value if the block's value is being kept (eg via a `do`). If you wish instead to proceed to the next statement rather than succeed, you must write `proceed`.

Conversely, if you use a modifier `when` (with its statement(s) on the left) then P6 assumes it should proceed as explained above after matching. If you wish instead to succeed as explained above you must write `succeed` (with a value unless you wish to succeed with a value of `Nil`).

This is great bit of language design work. Thank you Larry.
The Finnish solution is to have a support team inside these facilities. There is also a trial period and substance usage is restricted (though per article there are places where it is more relaxed).

There is also spamgourmet, which is free and has been around for 20 years.
To be fair, "entertainment as news" covers the spectrum— The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight are absolutely in that category as well. Of course, those are also a few hours a week rather than a 24hr barrage, and I suspect that a greater proportion of their viewers understand that their mission is to generate laughs, if necessary at the expense of a total commitment to the facts.
Causality could definitely be the other way as far as the stats I saw. I personally suspect the is some causality in both directions.
There is significant evidence Amazon has used it's dominant position and potentially sold products at a loss to undercut and remove competition.

Companies already massive dislike fake/temporary emails. Go find a throwaway email service and you'll find many many websites blacklist them. I'll actually be angry if Apple succeeds, because it'll just mean I can only have private email address as an apple customer and not anywhere else. Many companies might make an exception for Apple, but not anyone else.

Sounds like a good time to remind people about Telegram having a similar function for quite some time now. And just yesterday they announced a feature to simplify logging into web sites using TG bots: https://telegram.org/blog/privacy-discussions-web-bots

It might be a personal choice, but for stuff when privacy is really important I'd definitely pick Telegram over Apple, no matter how much the latter claims to keep me safe from three-letter agencies as well as marketers.

As a kid, I remember using the "Edit in Frontpage" button that IE had and fool myself into thinking I was hacking websites. Definitely had a blast, I imagine the dev tools eliciting at least the same amount of wow.
Apps you pay for probably still do it.
Pinhole cameras and DIY chemistry for development (coffee + soda) is pretty darn impressive IMHO.
At rush hour it can be easy to beat commuters in cars on your bike.
Can't you just take the crosswalk to make a left?
But will it be lower friction than login with Google or Facebook? It feels like it's more common for someone to have an account from one of those two than from Apple, and so "sign on with Apple" will never be able to be the only SSO option, while Google or Facebook could be.

If the better (for the site) SSO options also have near-universal market penetration, what's the incentive to add Apple?
So it turns out that this
is not (thankfully) a phone
hacking tool. Instead it's a
"dump all data off a phone
you already have access to"
tool.

I bike commute all the time and I want to share an experience from yesterday that EVERY cyclist will get. (I live in the PNW, so there are a lot of people that bike here)

I was sitting at a stop sign, in a lane that has sharrows. Waiting for a car to go by I feel a push from behind and get almost pushed into the car I'm waiting for (my hands aren't on the breaks, by feet are on the ground). Adrenaline skyrockets, I look back see this guy not really concerned, I look down at my bike, then back up at him, and just say "Dude, what the fuck?" (not really yelling, trying to stay calm). The guy's response "Chill out, it was an accident." Of course at this point I flip out.

To be honest, this is one of the better experiences I've had when cars almost seriously injure me.[0] There is a frequent challenge of avoiding doors being opened on you while also not pissing off the car following you in the sharrow road. Of getting out of intersections as fast as possible (because getting hit at a stop sign is pretty common). Avoiding pedestrians that step right off the curb into you. I ride without headphones because I have to be aware.

I have found that riding in protected bike lanes, a lot of this decreases. There is extra space for me at stop signs/lights, drivers have to stop sooner. Cars are parking out, and are more likely to look before they open their door. Pedestrians notice something is off and actually look both ways before stepping off the curb. I think the green painting helps too. Honestly I feel A LOT safer in a protected bike lane.

[0] worst experience is that this guy cut me off, almost hitting me, I flipped him off and he proceeded to try to hit me with his car. As in he got behind me and came over into the bike lane. I bailed into the sidewalk and he hit the curb, then he drives off.

My rule, and it is a semi-idiotic one, is "i don't impulse buy from independent merchant websites that don't support apple pay at checkout".

I usually email them after, too. "I actually clicked through your instagram ad, looked at some clothes that looked nice, and didn't buy anything because I was on my phone and didn't want to make a new account and add credentials to my password manager. Have you considered adding apple pay support to your shopify account?"

I have no idea if i'm helping or not.
I don't think you'll find much sympathy for someone who's software would break on such a change. That sounds broken already.
To be fair, I think Microsoft considered Installers a Windows "bug" for many years.

Installers have always been a problem on Windows and Microsoft has always treated it as the unfortunate problem child it was. A lot of guidance from Microsoft has been "avoid Installers [because you shouldn't need Registry settings, shouldn't be putting things in C:\Windows\System32, etc] and don't use things that need Installs, but if you do need an installer, here's MSI which is super complex, not least of which because the preferred tool to build MSI has only recently changed to an XML-based build tool from a crufty collection of worse command line tools and direct binary manipulation".

Then Microsoft tried too fast to move everyone to AppX as the One True Installer. But they forgot backwards compat and the slow pace of Enterprise. So now they are working to turn the ship on AppX with the rebrand/rebuild to MSIX (now with Windows 7+ support in preview), and this time trying to get more of the Traditional GUI Installer Builders in on the game (so that Enterprises with InstallShield licenses dating back to their VB3-based Windows 3.1 apps don't have to learn anything new).

MSIX seems to be a great solution to move forward with, but yes the road to get there has been really painful, and the damage of how many people are still using Installer Builder systems built only with Windows 95 in mind rather than anything more recent is a painful legacy that Windows will likely be hurting from for a long time.
Hollywood released several hundred movies last year. In theaters.

They simply didn't advertise them as much as they did the blockbusters, because advertising is very expensive and most films are capable of making back their production budgets but not the advertising budgets (which can equal or even exceed the actual cost of making the movie, see e.g., Solo which was considered a loss because of the amount Disney spent advertising the film).

In NL the country is full with separate bycicle infrastructure, making it a paradise for cyclers.

"Cycling is a common mode of transport in the Netherlands, with 36% of the people listing the bicycle as their most frequent mode of transport on a typical day as opposed to the car by 45% and public transport by 11%."

"Some 35,000 km of cycle-track has been physically segregated from motor traffic, equal to a quarter of the country's entire 140,000 km road network."
