Data Software Engineer III: Arlington, VA: Onsite, Full-Time:

Join a team of highly skilled engineers working to apply the latest developments in AI and Machine Learning to solving real world problems for our customers. Work in a collaborative, Agile environment, where every voice matters, outside the box thinking is encouraged, and the best ideas always win.

We are looking for a strong engineer with experience building applications from the ground up. We need someone who can work independently but can communicate clearly and knows when to ask questions and when to challenge assumptions.
These are two completely different businesses. Amazon is a marketplace that sells basically anything sold by anyone. Apple is a manufacturer who lists their own products or accessories for their own products.
I'm convinced that some of the downsides to remote work will be solved through technological means; probably some kind of VR or AR solution, where you can be inside a shared virtual space and glance over to see what your coworkers are up to, and perhaps give them a virtual tap on the shoulder.

This kind of virtual office would not help as much, of course, in cases of highly distributed teams split across continents. Even then though, it would be cool to drop into someone's virtual office and leave a note on virtual post it or whiteboard.

Thank goodness New Jersey and Oregon have the sense to restrict untrained operators from handling that dangerous substance!
If you work for a media org - than you KNOW that on the non-amp pages the synchronous java script from a hundred tracking / ad platforms (why can't these sites just use ONE tracking library) CRUSH the page load times.

Despite your (false) claim that google support sync javascript ad libraries "just as they do in their regular sites" this is 100% false.

The amp javascript components have DOM interaction restrictions, file size restrictions, response restrictions, can't run sync etc.

for amp-ad

"No ad network-provided JavaScript is allowed to run inside the AMP document. Instead, the AMP runtime loads an iframe from a different origin (via iframe sandbox) as the AMP document and executes the ad network’s JS inside that iframe sandbox."

If you can't understand why some of these steps result in both a faster site and one that is more secure I can't help you, but please stop with the misinformation here.
I don't remember seeing HN articles about McKinsey before this month or last. Now there are three articles about McKinsey on HN, including one that says that the Houston Astros' sign-stealing exemplifies the decline of a McKinsified America. (Or maybe it's the Astros that are M'd.)

How did it become the flavor of the month?
McDonalds workers are unionized in Australia (https://www.sda.org.au/media-release-new-mcdonalds-agreement...).

The Australian minimum wage is AU$19.49.

A burger and fries doesn't cost you $20.
But you did say it would be "not that hard".
The right to silence was changed to this in the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.

The reason for the change (AIUI) was due to the arrest of IRA dissidents who remained silent and then produced alibis in court that would have been easy to dispel at the time but were not so easily dismissed in court, once they had gathered support from their communities.

Incidentally, the 1994 act also banned music containing "repetitive beats" and legalised anal sex between heterosexual couples, albeit with a number of caveats and conditions.

More info is available at the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_Justice_and_Public_Or...
Anyone still using non-rechargeable AA's and AAA's deserves it.
FWIW this is the direct opposite of my experience working in both strategy and technical consulting. When it comes to dev work, it often actually was just a 23 year-old new grad writing code with little oversight (when I was 23 I actually wrote a lot of code that was reviewed by no-one, tested by only myself, and is probably still being used across a couple of F500s). Strategy work on the other hand was almost always reviewed and revised by several tiers of higher-up, more experienced consultants before being delivered to the customer.

The delay is css based not js based, so why would blocking all js affect it?
> Cars burn in accidents or when you are running them, not randomly in the middle of the night.

My co-worker's nanny's car, a new Subaru, burst into flames in her driveway while it was just sitting without the engine running. Non-crash fires occur so frequently that the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) produces a Noncrash Fire Losses Report, and insurance companies calculate premiums based on that data.

At what point does switching to something more trolleybus like, where your car charges while driving down the road, maybe in contact with a rail, make more sense than all this self driving and battery capacity? Even if it was just interstates.
Even if it is less dangerous than the current alternative of people hiding their phones to text instead? Even if less people die?

Out of curiosity, what do you end up needing that's not supported by default by CRA (or Next or Gatsby)? I've started a bunch of apps with CRA, and not once have I needed anything that's not already there.
It's amusing that the price from 1935 is $1/issue and $10/year. That's almost exactly the price of many subscriptions nearly 85 years later. I assume the economics of magazines have changed dramatically.

That is the other direction; they were not trying to create a safe space, they accepted their own platform as toxic and tried to protect vulnerable individuals by excluding them.

I am not saying that there should be a mob with pitchforks, but it is surely a backward way to handle the problem; it is like saying "If we forbid employing women then we have no maternity leave problem"
My car doesn't have aux-in or bluetooth, so I'll often listen to a ebook via TTS while holding my phone on my shoulder (if it's loud), or in my chest pocket if it's not loud in the area.
Likely never (if you look at Tesla's luxury vehicles almost at 400 miles of range [S and X with Raven drivetrains] and their Supercharger charge rates [0-80% SOC in ~15-20 minutes]). Battery capacity per kg and charge rates are likely to improve faster than coordinating the deployment of nationwide rail or overhead wire electrical infrastructure on interstates (a Supercharger station only takes about two weeks to install, and costs ~$150k-200k).

would love a replacement for Mint but never find anything that doesn't require a lot of extra work
I don't disagree with empathy, but I definitely push back on the idea that McDonalds is cheap. People will always go to the grocery store and it's very hard to beat rice, beans, eggs, and ethnic veggies. That makes the cost and time proposition of McDonalds only okay at the right time of day.
Yep, although I can't blame autocorrect. I simply spelled it wrong and lazily chose the first suggestion from the browser's spell checker without giving it much thought. Thanks for the heads up.

Ironically the situation is exacerbated leaving the person exasperated.
> If you're answering questions voluntarily and getting nothing out of it, you can always stop.

If most people stop, the community ceases to exist. Such is the real danger with Help Vampires.

To be clear, I'm not talking about myself. I don't have the time to answer questions on SO (though I answered some, years ago) and admire the people who do. I'm also not a moderator there, because who has the time?

> Help vampires are the least of SO's problems.

Only because the policies enforced to stop them were mostly successful. When you solve the most pressing problem, the next problem in the line becomes the most pressing one :)

> It would be far more useful to have some kind of editorial system devoted to refining answers down to their most useful canonical up to date core rather than just accreting them.

There is such a thing in SO. As you can imagine, some users complain about it and are unhappy with this solution. Some people are so unhappy that they proposed forking SO to create some other community with different editorial/moderation standards. Care to guess how successful they were?
When I walk into my local grocer, they offer better deals on the house brand and advertise as such. Why does Amazon need to push people toward someone else’s product? We don’t hold any other retailer I can think of to this standard.

In what way though? Like that's super generic and not particularly meaningful without a more concrete explanation.
"Use AMP or your site will not be present in mobile search results" doesn't seem like monopolistic practices to you?
Awesome news, storage is so crucial to decarbonization. Some really interesting emerging energy storage tech has been presented and discussed over at https://collective.energy if this kind of stuff interests you
Yep - the key thing you're missing is that Yang is going to allow people to choose whether they want to keep their benefits or switch to UBI.
I think both ought to carry a permanent lifetime ban on owning, operating, and possessing any sort of motor vehicle. You've demonstrated your willingness to kill people through your negligence, you will not have another opportunity to do so.
These technologies typically went through a period of development where safety was not a paramount concern. Once electric cars become mass market we'll probably hit that point.
It's like with hooks and other, similar things: It solves a problem in React that's there because of React.
> I'm always surprised seeing so many people accepting to commute.

I'm more surprised by the surprise itself. For most, the better place to raise a family and the better place to work aren't near each other. Surely it is clear why the commute is an acceptable trade-off to optimize those other things.

It's important to think about why others do what they do instead of assuming it's irrational.
I hadn't seen these or heard of Petruccelli but these are really nice covers. The stories are cool too, particularly the turnaround time on December 1938.

Interestingly these were ~$20 each in today's dollars. It was really going after a specific demographic as "the Ideal Super-Class Magazine"[1] I guess.

I mean, honestly, for a medical record system, if you allow a million doctors specific customization then as a company you are going to be in for a bad time. Epic is basically the Borg at this point as well. Any customization should come from a consultancy via some well defined interface.
What grocery store is that, and what region?
37% isn't "overwhelmingly pervasive" either.
> One of the many ways it's expensive to be poor.

On the other hand, consider — poor people don’t have to worry about having a car that keeps up with the Joneses, so they can drive around in a beater. If I had a dirty 1999 Camry then my rich neighbours would look askance at me.

If you think it’s expensive to be poor, try being rich.
Does that not imply a degree of hardness?

DoH actually addresses this attack, directly, regardless of whether the affected name is in a signed zone (most queried names aren't!), and it actually works on mainstream operating systems. Why would anyone waste even a moment with DNSSEC?
There's a difference between people using it and making money off it. What Amazon is doing is putting a wrapper around other people's hard work and claiming it as their own.
> On the occasions I've felt I needed to glance at my phone while driving, I've held it up and in front of me so I still had peripheral vision of the road. People using their phone and doing so from their lap or console, not to mention actually interacting with the phone... I can't even....

I'm not sure if it really matters that much. Humans are very bad at paying attention to more than one thing. It's the attention that really matters, not so much the vision. Besides, peripheral vision essentially just tracks movements, and traffic is always moving regardless.

I suspect that if there is a difference at all, it will be smaller than you'd expect.
This assumes you don’t have gridlock in the House/Senate, so it’s a bad idea.

We already have govt shutdowns when we can’t pass a budget, imagine if a law that legalized gay marriage was allowed to expire, or one that granted people health care or immigration status.

Even if a non-discrimination law only expired for a short period of time, that would be enough to do real damage to people’s lives.
No, it’s closer to $15 (depending on what you get), which is still too high to be tenable here.

What part of "Only Google can preload the results on the search results page" did you miss.
If I'm Corporate Big Wig I am not taking direction from some fresh-out or underling. I want to talk with the Partner -- a corresponding Big Wig who has "peer-level" status with me. We hash out the big-picture strategy, then the underlings do all the hard implementation work.
> I definitely push back on the idea that McDonalds is cheap

If you work there, it is. But I was talking about Taco Bell for non McDonalds workers, which IS cheap.

Your groceries list again is assuming there is enough time(and energy) to prepare the food.
I believe it is intended to mean "strategic advice from someone perceived as a social peer", meaning a high level important executive person, not a junior analyst.

I parse it as you'll get the advice as coming from someone on the same level as you, not a subordinate/minion. So in theory it's level-headed, coming from a person not afraid to state things as they are, and you are covered if you act on it.

This kind of advice is hard to get for the C-suite outside their boardrooms (which may be biased).
$1M for a six week “EM plus two” engagement is on the high side, but it’s about par for the course for most McKinsey contracts. The standard is usually $500k-$1M for that kind of engagement. I think this is kind of a non-story for anyone who is actually familiar with the consulting business model. The brand is all McKinsey really has, and they are very quick to offer free engagements to protect the brand if true value isn’t being delivered.
This is just an example. I'm sure there are many others. The developers that take the time to contribute to Spark are making Spark a better product. Amazon is not making it better. Amazon should not claim they made improvements to Spark in a newer version. What they did was upgrade Spark to 2.4 and claim that the improvements were done by them whereas in reality they were done by the community.
You don't need your hand on the phone constantly to text, so I don't see why you couldn't both shift and text.

My first car didn't have cup holders, and I remember managing to drive while holding a cup of soda or a shake when bring food back from fast food drive-throughs, holding the cup the entire trip. It was stick and I had no problem doing this.

With a phone, I'd expect you could just set it down between messages, which should make it easier than carrying those cups was. Setting those down risked spilling them.
Neither. A lot of vocal people in HN really don't like motor vehicles and that people can have with them.

Motor-bikes, -cars, -boats, -whatever. A large part of the HN crowd doesn't like them. HN also has healthy minority who are motor-heads, so it balances out.
Software development is a really big space, people can be experienced in certain areas but not others.

I have a CS degree but am largely self-taught when it comes to web development; I found the article useful.
I don't subscribe to this viewpoint. You have to have the clout to bring in the consultant in the first place. Now it may be a buy vs build decision and you are looking for advice on the buy side but I don't see it being about political cover when your "reputation" would be tied up with the consultant.
If Ford dealerships were a marketplace for vehicles other than Fords, I'd agree with this comment.

The issue I have with Amazon is that for many folks, they ARE the marketplace to buy goods. Pushing their own products as the "best Cyber Monday deal" is when things get a bit suspect, at least for me. And honestly, what represents "Best"? Best for the consumer? Or, best for Amazon?

(My cynicism is probably due to working retail (Staples) and having managers push us to sell Staples-branded items due to higher margins for the store/company (and we sales were happy to comply due to the higher spiffs). While I truly enjoy on-line shopping since I no longer deal with sales people, I'm fully aware that the algorithm pushing that "BEST CHOICE" IS the new "sales person". And they know more about me than any sales person in a physical store would ever know...scary.)
I’ve picked an answer for the first question and was presented with:

> We know how you don't like to register in new sites, so we already created an account for you, and randomly assigned you a username and a temporary password.

Followed by a username and password, and a suggestion that I either give them my email address so they can send me the details, or that I go to my new profile page to edit them.

That shows a profound lack of understanding of why people don’t like making accounts. Is there anyone who thinks “I really want another account on another website, but they’re bothersome to create”? No! People who don’t want another account simply do not want another account. Shoving one in my face makes it worse, not better.
I'm definitely not saying that guy is wrong about anything he is saying, but take it with a grain of salt. A lot of what he says in his interviews are based on 1+ year old info since he no longer works there and a lot of it sounds like hearsay.
No kidding

Despite all the claims that AMP is only faster because of preload, if you actually look at these HTML sites on big news orgs they are MONSTROSITIES. Check out dev tools, the number of network requests is wild. The page is so insanely dynamic do old / slow computers even run it well?

From script size to dome/paint reflows etc etc to third party javascript having total access to your page - much of that is limited with AMP. I think third party javascript is forced into an iframe sandbox, can only be async with a web worker, limited in size acrosss ALL scripts etc.
How does that change my point though? Either way they end up net poorer. If you're poor and don't take the $1000, you are the same and everyone else is $1000 richer. This makes you effectively $1000 poorer. Yang actually says UBI will save money compared to benefits. So if you pick UBI you're even more than $1000 poorer, if he's right.
Oil is a $70 trillion industry and yet a barrel of crude is currently $60.

What does that mean? Nothing. You are just creating a faux correlation between two prices with no justification.
--- But if you instated a nation-wide death penalty for texting and driving, and then actually executed a few people, compliance would likely follow soon after. ---

Draconian enforcement has it's place, but it's not on this sort of policy. This would either become a tool of assassination, or just kill a bunch of young, poor people. The enforcement would stop for wealthy kids in privileged areas.

Honestly, this is a more carrot then stick problem. It's unsolvable with the privacy rights American's are entitled to under the constitution. The best approach would be to incentivize safe usage and create some sort of system to track and penalize unsafe behavior. It would need to be a minor fine, but that would make enforcement more likely, give better data, and allow us to punish habitual offenders who actually cause harm.
Thank you capitalism!
Not really. Discount chains sell them for $1 for a 4 pack.
Perfect task for AI. Especially considering that Google has more resources for it than bad actor.
Nope, even the people who don't move benefit from reduced housing costs as people moving away frees up space.
Thanks for the downvote just because you don't want people to know the truth: all those "parts of the standard" that "make pages faster"? Don't do much at all. Bother to read TFA please - the average AMP page still loads in roughly 8.5 seconds on normal 3G. What makes them seem "fast" is Google preloading their content on the search results page and using Google's CDN to serve what remains.

YOU are spreading misinformation and one might ask why.
Ahhh, I wasn’t aware that it is possible to download Google fonts. Is it copyrighted though?
That page indicates a Big Mac meal (which includes a drink, too) starts at $9.80, which is US$6.70.

The cost for this meal appears to be US$5.99 in the US - quite similar.

That's not close to $15 (or $20) by any stretch of the imagination.
Also /s/moral/morale, although they can be closely related: People imposing immoral policies definitely create bad morale!
This makes me wonder how falling battery prices will affect the cost of used electric vehicles. On one hand, the replacement battery costs will go down, and in turn should make for better resale value (since the replacement cost of a wearable part is factored into the resale value.) But on the other hand, auto companies (especially Tesla) have been passing that savings down to the customer, leading to cheaper brand new prices of vehicles.

While it may appear on the surface that Tesla has not reduced their prices all that much, keep in mind that the only current offering for the Model S is the 100KWh battery. The Model 3 prices have been incrementally decreasing, while simultaneously standardizing features like autopilot, which used to be a $2K upgrade.

It's both. In France for example, there isn't a sane and legal way to unilaterally lay off a permanent worker.

However there are provisions that allow a company to lay off whole percentages of its workforce if the company is planning to face financial difficulties or similar. This has to be justified somehow so better get external reports to cover your ass.

I'm so pissed that didn't exist one year ago. Cheaper than I paid for my Pixel 2XL (damn name brand tax), physical keyboard, headphone jack, real features I could actually use.

The worst part is that I just dinged my Pixel's screen, so I could actually think about getting a new phone, but it's so wrong to me to buy a brand new phone one year later
