Vantage Point (www.tryvantagepoint.com) | Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Jr/Md Software Engineer | Los Angeles, CA | ONSITE | Full-Time

Vantage Point builds immersive VR training and AI platforms that drive empathy and teach humans to be human through training around the most important Soft Skills; starting with immersive Anti-Sexual Harassment training.

Vantage Point was founded under the belief that while technology can cause apathy, immersive technology can drive empathy and fundamentally make the world more human. We believe that the heart of all we do is human. The way we make the world more human is by using technology to teach and inspire people to become the very best versions of themselves they always hoped to be. Today Vantage Point is actively developing the platform and the products to train people on EQ-driven and Soft Skills that matter, with the ultimate goal of enabling humans to unlock their full potential.

Engineers hack together, collaborate, and work with Head of Engineering / designers / other teams to develop, co-create, and build features. We want engineers to be empowered to build high quality code that they believe in. We're built with React/Redux, Node.js, AWS, Lambda, Javascript (MVC Frameworks), RESTful API.

Vantage Point's investors include Josh Resnick (founder of Pandemic Studios), Quentin Clark (the CTO of Dropbox), and Village Global (LPs include Mark Zuckerberg and Marissa Mayer). We've been covered in over 50 press outlets, including NPR, TechCrunch, FastCompany, and have never had a PR agency.

Aren't they playing really nice and even operating at loss until they become a monopoly? It's not really a choice if a company is giving you free stuff.

Probably it's the same idea with Uber: We can have really nice rides at good prices because rich people are co-paying our rides. When it's only Uber out there, they can start testing our patience while maximising the profits.

Amazon and Uber are not really selling some high margin tech products, their core innovations are not in the product but the business operations and strategies.

How is your system practically work ? For example, do you prefer 8chan to be banned ?
No way, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic and IRIX was so very, very advanced. IRIX hasn't been in development for almost two decades now and it's still more advanced in aspects like guaranteed I/O and software management (inst(1M))... What does that say about it and what does it say about the engineers who worked on it?
People from a few 100 years ago would not know what that means, even if they were capable of reading modern english.
Amazon could drive companies within entire product sectors to bankruptcy simply by lowering the price of that product category on Amazon. The problem is that they can afford to do this in a sustainable way because they have so many other product lines.

When other big chains like Walmart do similar things, it does not have the same effect because people don't go to Walmart to buy just one item. Amazon is different; if they lower the price of an item, consumers react quickly and that can put other websites which specialize in that item out of business. Then when all major competitors within the item category are out of business, Amazon can increase the price to any amount it wants and use the extra proceeds to continue the process with different item categories.

Actually no, here in this German state better bring a book along, because that mobile connection between cities will drop down to G or even go away quite often.

But you can do old style, work offline and then profit from train stop at a station to sync the data.
Nah, that wasn't lambasting. This is much closer to lambasting a homeless services organization for their shitty, shitty policies:

Yeah, but not many persons in them would want it, and no person in the world would be exempt from it. It could very well be that even though everybody would be kinda unhappy, we wouldn't know why, or that it could be different, we might not have the words for our discomfort, etc.

But I completely agree that a world without human agency wouldn't mean it would be a dead world. It could be bustling with activity, but the individual agents could still be very repressed or outright empty, automatons if you will.

When I speculate about such extreme extrapolations, the one ray of hope I have is that we might colonize the galaxy, and something could gets away, by accident, be it people or just organic matter. But until then it could be a very long and very dark stretch.

Of course, that's assuming the universe isn't teeming with life anyway, in which case I don't think even the supermegaborg could conquer all of it. I'm just worried about our place in it, if we get to experience it or not, how and as who. FWIW I genuinely am, it's not just as a hyperbolic argument against mass surveillance (in combination with automation and military robotics, I would add).
No. A politics free zone is a politics free zone. Talking about C++ is not political. Talking about cookie recipes is not political. Talking about skiing is not political. Anyone can see that. Don't try to tell me that what happens every day is in fact impossible.

I regularly see elaborate arguments that non-political speech is impossible therefore employees must be allowed to talk politics at work. They're very tiresome, because ordinary people can see they're just not true. Non political workplaces are possible and desirable. Employees should ban political discussion, starting with this tedious everything-is-politics stuff.
As a Swiss I find the combination of Swiss Post and High standards hilarious.

> Speak for yourself, I would. I've downloaded and distributed ISIS propaganda videos before out of sheer intrigue.

It will be downvoted because it's INSANE, not because it's a hot topic.

ISIS propaganda isn't banned for the fun of it or because "too near emotions influencing policies", it's banned for the effect that it casuses, the intention it has, and the attorcities it shows.

There's a difference between supporting free speech and you spreading around videos of murders, executions of innocent people who have families, and calls for more murders of innocent people all over the world. Just because those things don't make you want to kill someone, doesn't change the fact that they do help radicalize other people.
That's exactly what they did to us in communist Bulgaria. Forced education in the politically correct curriculum so that we can be "free" to follow the communist guidelines.
And then it collapsed. Currently the western "liberalism" is going in the exactly same direction

I know how you feel. I used to live in the same town as them, and dropped by their location once to check it out. But still no SkyCar in my garage.

You state inequality goes down then you show a link about wage increases the last two years. This doesn't address inequality and inequality is usually a wealth issue, not income, and not only over the last two years.
There is no need for it to be a systematic policy, it can easily be an emergent behavior. Such behaviors are common when there are conflicting objectives. It's human nature. Good luck fighting that.
I blame the specific algorithm for that, not the basic concept. Nothing with less than 10MB of memory use should ever get killed unless you're in some kind of fork bomb.
8Chan isn't being targeted because they hurt people's feelings, they're targeted for being a breeding ground for terrorists.

Feel free to make whatever argument you want about whether platforms should be forced to provide service to websites that radicalize terrorists, but please don't make this about something it's not.
Yeap. Copying tech is a common pattern developing countries use to grow faster. Pot, meet kettle.
> That's my charitable take. My uncharitable take is that a lot of people in power don't care, have no heart and can't be arsed to pretend to care.

The charitable take is that public space is meant to be usable by the general public, not have it adversely possessed as permanent living space. Most "hostile architecture" is designed to prevent only the latter, not the former.
Try doing some rate limiting in order to not cause the dead lock. Should probably also disable write cache. And if it still doesn't work switch to a bare metal machine. And give it a lot of swap and up the swappiness. Swapping is a much better alternative then crashing. VPS providers doesn't like swap because it will tear their SSD disks, so the swap and swappiness is probably preset too low.
If the account is for an under 13 child the chat supposedly uses a whitelist of approved words, vs. a blacklist for 13+. Having watched my son play it does seem likely that's the case.
Windows (server and desktop versions) will throw up a message dialog on the screen. It will also start to kill off processes just enough to resolve the low memory situation.

During this - unlike Linux - you can actually use the mouse, CLI and close programs yourself.

On top of that server applications like IIS has built-in watchdogs. If an IIS process grows to use too much memory (60% IIRC) or excessive CPU, the watchdog will recycle the process.
Why? Why opt for two when one, I presume, is sponsored by the gov and accepted everywhere in your country?
EZ80 processors are commonly available via the TI-84 Plus CE. It costs about the same as the MakerLisp CPU card, but you get a 16-bit 320x240 color screen and a Micro-USB port and a calculator keyboard.

There is a freeware C compiler available that can run in Wine. It has character. An "int" data type is 24-bit, with sizeof(int) being 3.

The obvious open source compiler would be SDCC, but it needs some work. None of the 24-bit stuff is supported, leaving you with access to less memory.
As a European, it boggles my mind how there isn’t any for of proper verification on voters identity in many US states.
That’s the trope, but in reality, the less well off take the bus in, and the drivers for the most part could live in the city if they decided they didn’t want a yard or a parking spot. Taking road space from cars and giving it to busses/bikes helps the lower and middle classes the most.
The reason to bring up paper is that the cost of election fraud is much higher than any "efficiency" gains to be had by digitising the process.

This is (often) not true for word processors.

Disagree. Autopilots for aircraft have been proven technology for 100 years. It's a dramatically easier problem because there are many fewer edge cases, more degrees of freedom for the control system to exploit, no fixed roads to follow, and less traffic. And with widespread use of transponders, aircraft talking to each other is already common. It's still considered future technology for cars.
for me what matters is minimalising ping, latency, buffer bloat. speed with 4k and 8k content is also a factor but both should be developed simultaneously in a network.
TypeScript tips to improve your architecture
Imagine a world where instead of having to strap your screaming kids in to a car seat for an hour drive in traffic, you walked along a pedestrian street, your kids kicking a ball around, you visit a couple stores, see your kids off to their school, and then walk a couple more blocks to work.

When school is over your kids walk safely back home by themselves because there aren't cars out there threatening their lives.

This sounds way less stressful than your kids being dependent on you and your car for everything they need.
People don’t care about who repairs what. They care a lot more about their product have a serious design flaw.
Was in Europe for six weeks last Summer and I saw plenty of cars. The only city that seemed close to a post-car future was Amerstdam. The others I visited: Dublin, London, Barcelona, Brussels, and Prague all had plenty of cars. Now, that's not to say you needed them, but Amersterdam seemed to be the only one where it was evident that people were really embracing no cars. Of couse those are just cities, I never got out into the countryside much except for Ireland and the Czech Republic. Not much public transit out there.

Is there a clear solution to homelessness that only requires people in power to have a heart in order to be effective?
I thought it was nonsense when I first heard it, but the traditional paper system is actually more secure than a completely digital system. Here is a really good video explaining it: https://youtu.be/w3_0x6oaDmI
We have a system where you can go and see a webpage say your vote was counted after you mail in your ballot. What you can't do is tell if that webpage is accurate.

This still feels like a tractable problem in the domain of pure crypto if you divide it into a commitment scheme and a tabulation step.
Considering the increasing footage of bad drivers on the road and wankers that stuff up, do you really want these people flying around ?
Nice empathy you have there. I bet you would sing a different song if you were homeless.

There are lots of places in Australia where you can ride to work. I've done it in Melbourne and Canberra. It just depends on how far you are from your job. Lots of people can cycle. Few really do though. Even in Canberra where the cycle paths are great it's ~10% of people who ride, perhaps even lower.
I don't know about that but it is very common to specify CPU and memory limits for docker containers. Exceeding those automatically leads to the process being killed. The reasoning is very simple: any form of swapping is completely unacceptable on a production server because it randomly and massively degrades server performance. If you have a cluster of stuff and one node is misbehaving like that, you kill it because that is completely unacceptable. If that is a regular thing, your servers are obviously mis-configured in some way and you fix it by provisioning more hardware or tweaking the limits.

12 years ago, before I got a mac, I had a windows XP laptop with enough memory (8GB) to disable the swap file (which world+dog will insist is a very stupid thing to do). This was great and vastly extended the useful life of my laptop. Alt+tabs were instant and I could run e.g. JVM applications with sane heap settings as well as a browser, office stuff and a few small things I needed with zero issues. On the rare occasion that something did run out of memory, it died or I killed it. Laptop disks were stupendously slow at the time; any form of swapping on a slow laptop disk is extremely disruptive. SSDs are much better but there too it tends to be mostly redundant.

IMHO most forms of swapping are highly undesirable on both servers and end user hardware. Swapping to free up memory for file caching is simply unacceptable when you can instead just evict cache pages. If you don't have enough memory left to cache effectively, that just means things like memory mapped files will get a lot slower. If something allocates more memory than you have just kill it.
If you are reading unbuffered (ie. O_DIRECT) then you are reading directly into the memory block the user supplied, so you cannot read ahead - there's nowhere to put the extra data.
Having the system thrashing as described is worse than most alternatives, including those below for most workloads. There are probably a few workloads where thrashing is better, as maybe an operator can get in despite the thrashing and do the right thing.

a) killing the malfunctioning process (this is often hard)

b) killing the biggest process

c) kernel panic / locking up

d) killing more or less random processes until memory pressure is relieved

Thrashing in a distributed environment is probably going to end up with partially failed health checks and all the nastiness that comes with flapping. If you're lucky, failing health checks will reduce load and memory usage, and get you back to a happy place; if you're realistic, you probably got into the thrashing situation because of a burst of latency or traffic that resulted in slower processing for a bit and the resulting retries killed the system.
Lighter is better for me, as I carry my laptop all the time. The laptop I had before my Mac was really heavy, bulky, caused back pain and limited what else I could carry. Lighter the better please.
I walked to school till I could cycle there (~3km). My parents would drive me only if it was pouring or blizzarding.

The general public doesn't hang out in a lot of the places where they put spikes to interfere with homeless people being able to sleep, like under overpasses. We're not talking "You shouldn't sleep in the public square." We're talking "You shouldn't sleep at all. You shouldn't exist. No, we aren't really going to help you solve your problems and get off the street. We are just going to make your existence as miserable as possible while you are homeless and make it that much harder for you to solve your own problems."

At best, making it impossible for homeless people to sleep at all "solves" homelessness by sending people to an early grave. If that isn't cruel and heartless, I don't know what is.
You need read up on agriculture basics before posting junk comments.

> From other articles I found, it looks like the yield is expected to increase by about 13%. Omitting any mention of this feels like a political decision.

That is because CO2 enrichment as a way to increase yields is decades old common knowledge and a widespread practice in greenhouses. Just because you did not know that, does not mean there is a conspiracy here.

> It's also worth noting that the paper doesn't really try to prove that nutrition levels will drop

Because nutrient density decrease is something that has already happened: https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/09/13/food-nutrie...
An operating system should never overallocate memory because one cannot build reliable applications and infrastructure on top of a kernel which is lying to the application.
I see what they did there but I don't know if I agree. The market can stay irrational for longer than it takes to invent time travel...
If society can come together and build roads, sidewalks, public transit systems, etc that connect these private island-buildings, why can't it also provide public restrooms and public toilets?
For me, the most obvious change is the increasingly shorter and shorter skiing season.
To be honest: I do not know. But given how fat most websites are today, I am not that surprised that so much memory is needed. Yes, there is still a major leap from a couple of megabytes to a full gigabyte, but with so many DOM nodes and JS objects I can imagine that even a resource-conservative browser will have trouble keeping memory usage low.

Or are there any browsers where you observe significantly less memory usage on the same websites? (Ignoring limited browsers like Lynx of course)
I'm considering banning Roblox for similar reasons. I would let my kid use some pocket money to buy Robux, but then I found out his friends would log into his account and spend any spare Robux he had lying around.

I've tried to get in to it myself to better understand it as a mechanism, and I'm at a loss as how it's so popular.

My guess is that on the surface it looks innocent enough to naive parents but in reality it's quite a bit 'elsagate' in nature.

I am happy that, right now, he prefers to spend time in Minecraft with his headset, it's a much more positive game (making houses and exploring without predatory in app purchases).

My experience, on trains, is similar to yours, though perhaps less unpleasant.

I've been taken trains at around 06:30 for about four years and it's such a big difference to a more standard office hour. I can relax, I can sleep without having somebody sat next to me, I can work and best of all I don't have to drive.
Production is already moving to other places in SE Asia. Vietnam is one of the big winners. So I wouldn't worry too much. It would only make things more flexibile as moving production/capital out of a smaller country has less of an impact.
+1 to Logitech K380. The only con I can think of are the arrow keys, but overall the key travel and typing is really good.
That is the only working solution with HTML and JS based applications or apps using GC. Applications should save the state and quit (or be ready to quit) instead of using memory in backround mode.
I stopped using soap 6 years ago, but I usually don't tell people because there's still such a stigma attached to it. But the reaction of those I do tell is always the same "Wow, but you don't smell like anything at all!"
It's not my system, it's reality, there is no objective morality, and even where people agree on many things, they don't have the exact same opinions and reasons for having them, and so on. That's at all not contingent on me giving you a satisfying answer on such a tricky question about a site I don't even know.

People keep declaring that email is broken and needs fixing.

But I use it everyday and it is one of the few things in the computerised side of my life that actually does work properly.

Mind you I almost never use web mail even though my main account is Hotmail and I have both Gmail and Yahoo accounts. I use Thunderbird on several machines, built in email client on my Lenovo tablet and the Gmail app on my Moto g5+. They all work.

So what is it that everyone wants to fix?
This is a feature not a bug. Fraud is rare, but barriers to minorities and the poor having say are a real concern.
