SEEKING WORK -- Remote -- Philadelphia, PA

Hi, I'm Julius! My background is in mobile app development, but in the last few years I've done more web work using React and building APIs with Python & Django.

I built the Fitocracy iOS app, the Daily Burn Apple TV launch partner app, crime analysis software for a university, CharlieApp's iOS app... I have broad product and technical knowledge across many domains and platforms.

I'm interested in doing more iOS apps and building React apps. Also really into the GIS domain, building things on top of GDAL and friends. Right now I'm working with React Native on some of my own ideas.

Another nuance of jawn is that it could mean anything....except when it involved gender.

Jawn when referring to a human specifically referred to a woman. "That jawn bad" means a woman is attractive. Currently the younger crowd has a phrase "That's a bad jawn" that means something unfortunate happened. Context is very important when jawn is used
Cost of family health insurance is $20k to $25k per year, plus a $13k out of pocket maximum, so annual healthcare costs with insurance can be $40k pre-tax easily. Not including any travel, hotel stays, spouse having to take time off work to take care of you, etc.

I don't really care if my chess app is insecure.
Networking newbie question: why are "locked-by-password" and "secure" conflated with WiFi?

Is there a technical reason for not having access points that are secure/encrypted and open?

HTTPS is able to do protocol negotiation in the open, then provide a secure channel. Why is there no such thing at the WiFi link layer?!

I found some discussion at https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/35867/why-isnt-... and https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/149422/why-isnt... , with wildly varying answers.
You might be right but I am like 90% sure I found the link directly in an article on FB's engineering blog.

I could def be wrong though.

@ryacko, Epstein is undoubtedly..for the lack of a better term, a moron.

But men do it all the time with religious polygamy, affairs, rape..even sperm donation banks where they are willing to ‘seed’ random women who will pay for it.

It has nothing to do with whether he is rich or not. If one has 19 kids and is in a religion, he is a reality show star. If it’s in Utah, it’s a constitutionally protected right. If the same person is rich and wants 30 kids, transhumanism becomes a fringe movement.

Meanwhile..women all over the world..remain unamused.
You typo an address in your URL bar and an attacker can serve you a fake login page of your intended destination complete with valid SSL cert.
Can you give me some examples of repetitive (or very boring) kinds of programming work that's commonly demanded?

(This isn't a skeptic take, I've been really pondering whether coding is for me, since taking the next step in my current career path requires an upgrade in "soft skills" that... )
What are the single keystrokes that are now doubled or tripled ?
Glad to hear! Unfortunately there isn't an official API for google music, but there is an unofficial python API. In fact, Mopidy has a GMusic extension already. I could probably add support to the current desktop app fairly quickly, although it might not work on Windows, let alone the mobile apps. Would you use it on mac/linux if I added support for that though?

Also, if you sign up for an auth token on this page (https://lagukan.com/docs/), I'll send you periodic updates as the project progresses.
Of course. It could not get any more "insider" in insider trading when it's the founder (person 0).
These are not comparable. The first must be zero, and the second should be "as many as possible while keeping the first at zero."
I wonder if just the existence of this is evidence of an offence under the Computer Misuse Act?

Sure it failed but the attempt was still made.
State Auto | Tech Lead | Columbus, Ohio | ONSITE | Full-Time | https://stateauto.com

We're a 100-year-old insurance company that's in the process of re-inventing itself as a tech company that happens to sell insurance.[0] Our team is at the front of this transformation: we develop proofs of concept and prototypes to evaluate technologies and techniques that can make State Auto better and faster, and at a lower cost, in support of our internal and external customers. The sort of core mantra for our group is to fail fast and fail forward: we recognize that a lot of what we do will not be a fit for the company and might never progress beyond the PoC stage. That makes throughput really critical for us: our typical PoC concludes within about 4—6 weeks.[1] Sometimes this is an evaluation of a vendored product, most times it's building out our own in-house solution from FOSS components.

Current stack: Python, React, AWS, Linux, Docker/Kubernetes, TensorFlow

What we offer: competitive compensation; full medical/dental/vision; 401(k); unlimited PTO; no dress code

Reach out to me directly at <christopher.wetherill@stateauto.com> if interested

[0] --- https://www.dispatch.com/news/20180422/state-auto-ceo-readie...
[1] --- Only mentioning this because "IT at an insurance company" usually means "months-long development cycles." That ain't us.

NanoVMs | SF | Kernel Engineering | Fulltime | Onsite | https://nanovms.com

NanoVMs is building out safer and faster systems from the ground up (as in operating systems). We're venture backed and have really large customers. We open source as much as we can. We're looking for more kernel engineers.

We're specifically looking for those that have done kernel work before. The work does not lend itself to 'ramping up' easily. Intel manuals, section 2 of the man pages, 'linux programming interface', and 'linux kernel development' and such should be well thumbed documents/books for you. You don't need to know it by heart but it should not be unfamiliar and given time you should be able to implement any of it. Also comp. sci fundamentals are a must. We have much more complex data structures than simple trees/queues in our source. SMP, spinlocks, KVM internals, etc. it's all fair game.

Please reach out to ian at nanovms .
Hack Club (https://hackclub.com) | Director of Club Operations | San Francisco, CA or REMOTE

Launched 3 years ago, Hack Club is a nonprofit global network of student-led hacker clubs across 35 states and 17 countries, impacting thousands of students each year. Our programs span hundreds of after-school clubs, dozens of student-led hackathons, a vibrant online Slack community with thousands of students, and a fiscal sponsorship (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_sponsorship) program that recently crossed $700K in transactions and frontpaged Hacker News a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19257241).

We’re looking to bring in a Director of Club Operations to systematize and grow our primary program: clubs. You will own the end-to-end club experience, including processes to deliver high-quality mentorship to hundreds of club leaders worldwide, enabling Hack Club to scale beyond the number of calls our team can take in a week. If successful, this position will bring Hack Club from 2% of US high schools to becoming as ubiquitous and culturally foundational as the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts.

This role has C-level freedom, as well as responsibility. You will be tasked with solving the most challenging problems Hack Club faces as a rapidly growing student network. You must be able to work creatively and autonomously to design life-changing student experiences that you can simultaneously maintain and deliver to an ever-growing number of students.

Some examples of challenges to overcome:

- How do we build a diverse and representative community of student leaders and enable leaders to do the same within their clubs?

- How do we offer consistent value to students regardless of their financial background, making the club experience as powerful in Zimbabwe as it is in Cincinnati?

- How do we provide high-quality mentorship and coaching to a large body of student leaders, and bring students into the process of onboarding other clubs?

- How do we ensure that clubs survive the graduation of their leaders?

We need an obsessive, product-minded, operationally-excellent person with past experience growing direct-service programs and an intense focus on the student experience.

Interested? Email me at zach@hackclub.com with a detailed overview of why you think you’d be a good fit for this role.
FleetOne Software GmbH | Android / IOS developer | Frankfurt, Germany or Barcelona, Spain | Onsite | Full-time | https://fleetone.de

We are an established small company developing solutions for the management of company fleets: cars, electric bikes, scooters - you name it. With our solutions we want to make the world a little greener and our clients want to save money along the way.

Currently strong emphasis on Microsoft products: C#, SQL Server, ASP.Net and WPF, but with expanding into the mobile world, that might change.

Looking for a developer with experience in the field of mobile app development. Lots of freedom for you to design and program since we are completely revamping our suite of products.

German or Spanish language skils are a bonus, but not required. If interested, drop me a line. T.Schulz at FleetOne.de
Completely agree.

Sure a young person making $200k+ in the Bay Area is “rich” but it’s not even comparable to people who have inherited massive amounts of wealth or have become rich through ownership in a rapidly growing company (which also isn’t income, but capital gains). You can’t even afford a 2k sqft home in a nice (accessible, safe, decent schools) area on that income - doesn’t feel rich to me.

This kind of logic is what keeps the upper-middle class of the US paying high taxes but shields the truly rich, I mean filthy stinking ungodly rich, from paying their fair share. Because they don’t acquire their massive wealth via income, but through inheritance and capital gains
I am inclined to believe alot would, since it's easy to, and many users don't understand the implication of doing so. It's simply the button in the way of getting wifi. It's not that users are dumb, it's that the industry has made this a painful footgun that is easy to trigger.

Isn't the wait list quite long now for it? I'm still at >200k on the wait list with little movement
Yes, definitely! I'm working on mobile apps right now which will be super easy to use, and then I'll likely come back and improve the desktop app.

The current app was optimized for development time, just so I could get a prototype working at least for my own use as quickly as possible.
You must not own capital then. If you had they would have worked hard to help you. If you had been a big box store showing the footage to the police they would have helped. But as an individual, they are not there for you.
I find public WiFi without password unhygienic just like the average pub toilet or an internet café Windows XP computer. I might get away fine using them but I always feel a bit dirty afterwards.

Paid for an unlimited 4G plan just to not have to use public WiFi anymore anywhere.
Any security professional who says there's a large _security_ risk when using free wifi has completely lost their marbles.

App stores require apps use https nowadays, and nobody is MITMing https, full stop.

If you want to talk about risks of using public wifi, then privacy should be the topic. DNS queries are not encrypted. Imagine how valuable it would be for a chain like Starbucks to know what websites their customers are looking at while in the store? I don't know if they do that, but it's multiple orders of magnitude more likely than a free wifi access point posing a security risk to end users.
For the Boston-Cambridge-Newton area they have this:

Top 5% More than $374,000

So 1 in 20 people in this area bring in more than 374K a year? That is sort of mind-blowing. I thought I was doing fairly well, but now I feel like I'm missing out on something...
And yet, if you take the Olsen twins at face value, they've had successful primary careers, have managed to hold on to their money, generally stay out of the spotlight, and have had numerous business ventures with varying levels of success. I don't think that the Olsen twins can be judged too harshly, in fact they really deserve quite a bit of credit for taking a single acting role and turning it into a lifelong empire. If they were in tech they'd be HN rock stars.

Oh weird. My experience isn't like that. In fact, sometimes Google's guessing game turns up the oddest results where DDG works a little more straight-forward. (but I digress)
>God forbid as a society we focus on the society as a whole instead of demonizing the choices that people make.

Well, if we're focusing on society as a whole, then it could be argued that your doctor is right for discouraging promiscuity, since STDs tend to affect society at large as they spread.

>So why the fuck is prep so different.

Because it's an expensive medication, it's the only effective "treatment" for HIV, and just like overprescription of antibiotics, excessive use of prep is leading to resistance. So, arguably, these personal choices have serious consequences for society.

And I think it's disingenuous to frame this as anti-LGBT and/or sex shaming. Yes, barring access to prep disproportionately affects gay men, but that's because gay men are the ones who predominantly need it, and their individual, ostensibly private sexual choices are impacting the rest of us.
But now my opponents will know I only ever open with d4.
Please Fix HN Mobile Version
I’ll get straight to the point. Many of us use HN on the go. On an iPhone you often interact with textareas by double-tapping to select a word, and then expand the selection to what you want. Double-tapping used to work until a few days ago - now it just zooms the screen and doesn’t select anything! No way to select text

The other way of moving the cursor - tapping and holding until the magnifying glass appears and then moving your finger - is also very clunky. It just madly scrolls up and down.
Show HN: Cryptodetector
Ask HN: What is the best way to help people with software?
I'm a developer and enjoy what I do, but I often find myself wondering how I can help underprivileged people using my skills. I know I can go and physically volunteer places, which I do from time to time but I want to make a larger impact. A good example is NewStory or Kiva. I'm curious how others have done this in the past or ideas on what could be done.
Just like there certainly are some cities or places you should actually worry about being randomly stabbed, there are some public open access networks that should raise your concerns.
Hacker News readers are an exceedingly small percentage of people who connect to public Wi-Fi.
Hey thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.
Regular users should not be using the URL bar, they should type whatever they want in the search bar.
I'd suggest "Practical Docker with Python: Build, Release and Distribute Your Python App with Docker" by Sathyajith Bhat.

Very beginner friendly.
SEEKING WORK | Berlin, Germany or remote (originally from NYC, can make trips to US east coast)

I am a senior web developer with 7+ years of experience building web apps & services. Most of my experience is in Ruby & Javascript with PostgresSQL databases. Long time Rails dev (since Rails 2), more recently I've worked with Node.js/Express & React as well. Occasional smalltime open source contributor (most recently to KillBill a billing & payment platform). Not dev-ops per say but I have experience managing deployments with AWS, Digital Ocean, and Heroku.

I’ve worked on everything from first APIs & SPAs for startups to a CMS for the New York Times to a civic art installation for Davos.

I don't think this would work for a simple reason: Google. It's a large source of traffic for news sites, it punishes sites ranks for being slow and it can cache pages and preload requests, rendering throttling shenanigans somewhat useless.
I find I can carry at least 4 times as much stuff in a reusable bag as a disposable one. They've done remarkable work in making those disposable bags thinner, which is especially helpful when you're only buying a few light items, but for larger trips it's simply not a 1:1 substitution.

There are so many factors involved (CO2, petroleum drilling, microplastics, other pollution, etc) that it's not easy to provide a definitive ratio. I do think it's good that the discussion has reduced the amount of plastic being used in the bags themselves (though I'd need to see a study if that ends up reducing the total amount of plastic involved, or if they're just using more bags). I think it's good that people are now in a better position to forego bags entirely rather than put a single item in a bag simply because they're there and free.

Mostly, though, I'd caution against citing numbers that assume that one reusable bag is exactly the capacity of one disposable one.
