Another of their headlines were "Uranus Has Experienced A Colossal Pounding" [1].

I work remotely from Europe for a North American company, so here's my two cents on this topic:

Having cost as the reason for going with remote devs is a very bad idea in my opinion, and it should only be seen as an added benefit. You don't want to hire cheap devs because they usually suck, and great developers will cost you quite a bit regardless of where they live.

While it may be difficult to compete with the huge corporations in places like SF, NYC, Seattle, where these competing corporations offer huge salaries, great benefits and have brand recognition, there's quite a lot of value to be had with setting up shop somewhere remote, where there's lower competition and where you can offer above average salaries to attract top talent in the area. Ultimately, every company says that they only hire the best, but unless you're paying top dollar in your area, you're most likely not hiring only the best.

I believe that most good developers will want to be part of a stable company that is actually building amazing things, instead of being part of an outsourcing company where they get passed around from project to project, and their resume will perpetually read "Software Engineer at Outsourcing Company Ltd." - most would trade that in a heartbeat for one of the FAANG companies.

If you want to have the best kind of success with remote devs, don't outsource, invest a bit more and set up an actual office and hire the people directly, people that want to have a career with your company, and not a contract for an unknown period of time, which they likely won't be able to put on their resume.
There already are plenty of exclusive dating apps.

You just arent cool enough to have been invited to one yet.
Speaking of gratuitously user-hostile websites, the actual text of that gist is at https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tonyb486/eec2f16b06eef469... .

Edit: And now both sites work fine; not sure if gaslight or heisenbug.
It's hard to tell. I recently visited my homeland of Albania and was surprised to learn that things like food delivery / ridesharing apps did not exist at all. Someone who goes there could probably make a killing just copying what we have in the States. The future is unevenly distributed, as they say. While we automate away our problems in the first world the third world will be eagerly awaiting existing solutions.
Interesting, is that something you’d consider using the noise input for once I finish that? (As noise will be lower latency, you’ll have about 40 noises to map, and it’s “out of band” with speech)
I think a rating system would be highly exploitable. Other than that, people seem to think in extremes. Either it's close to 10, or close to 0. Middle-tier doesn't move anyone, even though most are there...for example, how many times do you watch movies with 5.0 rating on IMDb
The dependent student lifetime limit is $31k btw so you'd need to have basically no income for 10 years to raise it to $50k, or you'd need to be older or go to grad school.

Either way it's unlikely that you spend much time not making enough to cover interest payments with the minimum payment.

In the case that you do spend years with basically no income, you aren't likely to start making enough to build assets significantly faster than you are paying down your loan because the minimum payment are pegged to income. Most people with low enough income for this to be problem are saving at most few % in their 401k, and are renting a home.

I'm not saying that this can never happen, but you'd need to perfect storm of circumstances for it to be a major issue. And regardless, the tax burden is never going to be more than around ~25% of your assets--even in the worst case.

>25% of people have >$50k in loans - and unfortunately not all of them are doctors

That's including private loans, which don't come with income based repayment, so it's irrelevant.
Right. All the arranged marriages I'm aware of were ones where the expected norm was for the children to acquiesce to the arrangement, but didn't force them to accept. They did so either to honor their parent's selection (or that of the matchmaker hired by the parents).

I also have colleagues that have declined the arranged matches. Their parents weren't happy, but they did it all the same.
Given the imprecision of WWII-era anti-aircraft guns it's a reasonable assumption.

You also have to make some assumption about the initial distribution of the hits in order to do an analysis of survivorship bias.
i am not assuming anything nor making any accusations. I am simply inquiring as to the source of the claim made. i guess, we will establish that its just the opinion of the poster.
Ok, but what did people actually think about it? These are just quotes from high-up business people, they're trained to never say anything negative.
While I can sense his flavor of politics, his core point is still potent to me: These people are going to be the deciders?

Twitter is proposing, once again, stupid shit. This is not a mature organization with sound decision making capabilities.
Webmail providers (and others) hiding user IPs was the right decision
That's funny, I just had a bad experience with Microsoft. I applied for a job on their site that had several locations listed, one of which was of interest to me.

A recruiter sent me a bunch of questionnaires to fill out and then connected me with a Tech Lead for the initial phone interview. The Tech Lead introduced himself and the position, said the position was available in 2 locations (neither of which were my preferred location), and that was that.

I followed up with the recruiter and she expressed surprise, since she saw the same job posting I did.

A couple days later, Microsoft's site tells me I was not chosen for the job, no further information.

But of course, that's just one experience, and it's a large company, and all that. Maybe I'll apply for something else there.
Yes, sorry, I did understand that that was your point. I just feel very strongly about the tendency, for people (especially new programmers) to be told that it's important to comment code heavily.

Yes I've never seen a good solution for documentation in the teams I've worked in on larger systems/codebases. I'm not really a believer in documentation that evolves in a separate git repo (or god forbid, in Confluence) for the obvious reason that it gets even more stale than documentation that evolves in the same git repo. So that would put me in favour of your position here.

But, how can documentation (with appendices or rationale sections) be interleaved with code without destroying the ability to read the code? I've tried RWeave in R a long time ago, and I've even collaborated and published on a literate programming tool, and I have always come back to the conclusion that I want to read code with the minimum of intervening prose.

So my position is documentation should absolutely be written and maintained, it should be in the same git repo as the code, it should be in a separate file (not in comments or docstrings or automagically weaved sections using some special syntax), it should be written tersely and without much personality, and code reviewers should request documentation updates if a PR renders some documentation stale or requires new documentation.

So I'm pro documentation, anti LP, and pro minimal code commenting.
Numbers on both sides. Just because they have thousands of employees out of billions of people means nothing special about their process/culture. There are likely to be thousands of people in the world who are fine with it.
There's also the point that Germany absolutely needed the oil fields to keep their war machine running.

I'm skeptical on the USSR executing on a plan to attack Germany only two weeks later given how disorganized they were in the face of the German attack. The Russian army isn't something you can move across the country in a couple of weeks.
Cool? Probably Facebook too. What’s the deal with redditors bringing it up on other sites?
Two things he downplays but I think should get more attention. As someone who has been there way before dating apps it was pretty obvious to everyone that the 80/20% is pretty accurate. Every group of guys had those guys who would get most of the women, it is just the way it is. Dating app just made it even more extreme, maybe 90/10.

The second thing is what he calls 2nd and 3rd tier apps. For all those 80% those apps give some alternative. If you don't get matches in Tinder you can still message people in POF for free and if you got good text skills it works much better than tinder for people who are average looking. So I wouldn't call it second tier but rather the solution to some of his complains.

The solution he suggest is what society in more conservative societies always did, vetting by parents and family and a matching system that gave a chance to every male in society to find a woman by matchmaking with end result of one to one. All of that only works when you accept the scarcity of marriage and it is enforced socially by people, legally by the state and sometimes also by religion. I am afraid this is not going to work in our society of today unless we all accept on ourselves more conservative values.
I agree (obviously, I suppose).

> Of course, you can't have privacy without security. But security simply by itself does not equal privacy.

Privacy is not the same as security, and I agree that you can't have privacy without security. I also think that you can't have security without privacy.

This is part of why the argument that some companies make about how securely they're holding our data is a nonstarter for me. That form of security only comes into play after the first form of security: preventing the unauthorized data collection. If the companies don't have my data, then their security practices around how they protect my data don't matter.
The author misunderstands the business model here. It is precisely this market asymmetry that makes the platform any $$$. Otherwise what incentive do guys have to spend money on advertising their profiles.

If anything, the evidence presented would suggest that the market is skewed in the favor of men already. Otherwise women:men would be 1:1.

I propose disrupting the space with even more aggressively Darwinian design. Who wants to join me? (only half joking—seriously reach out)
First, you are awesome, really :)

Second, a bunch of honest questions:

Did you consult to your supervisor (or anyone with authority) to be able to bypass the support process (if there is any) like this? If so what was the response? If the response was negative, how did you convince people? After things resolve, can you kindly post how many spam or unrelated emails you receive so that it will be an example to the industry?

I'd like to put my skepticism on hold and blindly believe that your post is a reflection of pure concern and not just a PR stunt for damage control.
> free for women, men must pay a weekly fee

Would this be allowed in the US? In the EU it would probably be forbidden as discrimination.
Make it $20 but not refundable. Or $300 and not refundable.

This is a good way to filter the full level of importance. Most places that need a problem solved, now, dammit will be willing to pay.

And, if you want to be nice, you can refund it. Or, if the person was a jerk, you can keep it.
I'd say the whole world (or at least, the whole world's middle-school age population) has been waiting for that headline since approximately 1782, when Johann Elert Bode proposed the planet's name.
Knitting is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors. Once you realize that a sock is just a piece of yarn transformed through a series of knots, you can determine that it's topologically equivalent to where you started and you don't need to knit the other sock.
Considering churches heavily encouraged people getting married for life before they were fully cognitively developed, I'd lean towards 'no'.

I kinda like it, but the clickable area of the "x" buttons to close a window is smaller than the button. My first experience of your site is trying to close the window asking for money, and therefore having difficulty doing so. Normally, I'd give up there.
> unless your path is actually easier or better in some way

Well, I would argue it is, in nearly every way.

The largest drawback is that by avoiding pulling the content with JS you won't automatically deny service to people that are trying to avoid trackers... This site looks like a medium wannabe, so this is probably important to them.
Among people I know, the distribution of blue checks is so arbitrary that I'm convinced we're all participating in some modern form of Stanford Prison Experiment.
I got bitten by the synth bug a year ago. I just soldered a 10 port midi splitter from Tindie. Like you I can't imagine ever getting bored with music gear. It's the best hobby I can imagine for someone who likes electronic music, math, software, electronics, and blinking lights.
I'm based in the US and worked with a remote team in Argentina from 2013 to 2015. They were fantastic. Most of the team was based out of the company's office in Cordoba, but we also had some remote devs who lived in Buenos Aires rotate into the team. The offshore firm took great care to make sure that everyone on the team was well trained on the specifics of our project and general development processes.

Last I heard they were purchased by Mercado Libre in what I'd assume was an acquihire.
Thank the EU?
Theres a dating app kind of like the idea you are proposing: Once.
You get one (!) suggestion per day and you can decide whether to like or dislike. The basic idea is quality over quantity. But as such an app is not good at guessing what you like, you mosten often just press the dislike button.

This one has a 3-4% death rate and debilitating, lifelong consequences for those that 'recover'. Its a big deal.

If denial makes one feel better, go for it. Post it here though, and expect to be rapidly disabused.
Where I grew up, the Catholic Church (the only religion in town) didn’t really play the community-building role the Americans tend to ascribe to their churches, so I too find it baffling myself. However, I can’t help but notice that both my father and my best friend have met their wives on religious pilgrimage to holy site.
Both when dating and when buying used cars, I prefer to deal directly with the owner/person. There's no need to bring a middleman into either activity.
Yeah, this is all marketing/partnership fluff. I'd be much more interested in seeing flame wars from Usenet. :) I was programming back then but I don't remember what the sentiment was at the time. I just remember Microsoft insisting on calling it "JScript" or "ActiveScript" or something because they didn't want to give Java any mindshare over ActiveX.

Sorry for answering you so late Breck. I realized I missed your reply (I was trying to recover from some painful flu)

It would be great to get more feedback and any kind of help. I am now contacting you by e-mail. Thanks!
I 100% agree with this.

I reported to one program, which ignored the report and effectively stalled until the startup had pivoted to a different idea. HackerOne didn't remove them from the platform and did not make it possible for me to publish the report through their platform (and publishing it otherwise would have likely violated some ToS).

I reported a second issue to Cloudflare. It was acknowledged as a known issue within less than an hour, but still not fixed months later, and again I was unable to publish it.

Despite waiting for months and requesting disclosure repeatedly, none of these reports are disclosed yet.

In the future, if I find a vulnerability and the only reporting path the company provides is HackerOne, I will apply full disclosure instead.

This gets a little into the 'things you can't say' territory, but online dating just isn't very good for most heterosexual men due to selective pressures (it's probably better when the population is closer to an even split, but even then there are problems). This does change as men get older and there's less competition (online dating is bad for men in their 20s and good in their 30s).

Dataclysm - Christian Rudder's book (cofounder of okcupid) has a ton of data you can look at to see some of the problems.

One is solved by Tinder, Hinge etc. which is women getting too many messages (making things better for heterosexual women) but the other issue is the response graph itself.

There's a graph in that book that shows number of messages received based on attractiveness, for women there is a massive spike at the right end of the attractiveness scale and it gets lower at the lower end, but is still around 4-5 messages a week. This means there are opportunities to at least go on dates if interested and get better at selection/what you like and don't.

For men it's a flat line at zero until the extreme right of the attractiveness scale where it goes up to 1-2 messages.

For men not in the top 10% of attractiveness online dating is not viable so things trend towards a broken state where women select the same group of highly selected men (which tends to lead to less long term interest on the side of the highly selected men). I think large amounts of men ~80% get very few dating opportunities and so are generally bad at the social skills required for success.

For most heterosexual men (those not in the top 10% of attractiveness) you're better off meeting people in real life where you can make a better impression. These issues are compounded in the bay area where there is a large imbalance of men and women (things are less broken in DC and NYC).

If I had a suggestion for a new type of dating site it would be less about the matching part and more about how to help men get better at the prerequisites for success (social skills, dressing better, fitness etc.). The pairing part is less important.
Sure but the math alone won't protect it. I'm thinking more of bugs in the program such as buffer overflows etc. that can potentially be exploited. They don't even have to exist in the Signal code itself but one of the libraries they use. Everything will be scrutinized increasingly heavily now.

Moxie had better preemptively order up some new code reviews.

Google is quickly becoming famous for lowball offers. Unless you have a competing offer with someone they think is on their level, they won't budge. They play hardball too, even with another offer.
I worked very briefly at a place (which was run poorly, btw, which is why I left), that used Argentinian devs for some of the work. The devs seemed good, and the similarity in time-zones compared to U.S. helped a lot with communication and coordination.

I did hear, however, some discussion in the office that there was a strong suspicion that the Argentinians were working on other customers' projects during the time they were supposedly 100% on our project.
According to Wikipedia the authority comes from H.R. 5122 signed into law by G.W. Bush in 2006, which “gave the president the power to declare martial law and to take command of the National Guard units of each state without the consent of state governors.”
We would love to do that at some point. There is tons of open data out there, but not a lot of it has useful descriptions at the field level (only the dataset level), so it would take some time to put a collection together that is robust. Also the demo on our splash page is a demo of the artifact we create (i.e. the published dictionary) only. The other side of the web app is a management layer to bundle datasets into collections, annotate fields, configure sample sets, and share the artifacts. We'll work on fleshing out our demo to show what the system looks like when there are hundreds or thousands of datasets.
I remember being brought in to operationalize the first version of Norton Anti-Virus for Internet E-mail Gateways (NAVIEG) that would run on Solaris (this was in 1996). It was outsourced to an Indian company because no one in Symantec understood the first thing about programming on Unix. Turns out that the guys in India didn't understand programming on Unix, either.

The Indian developers basically just transliterated the Windows code to Unix, and got it to compile. Then they shipped it. That's when the real problems started, and I was brought in.

Now, I've never claimed to be a developer. At the time, I was a consultant and Unix sysadmin, but the concept of "DevOps" had yet to be born.

What I could tell them was that, in 1996, basing your Unix implementation on Solaris 2.5 (not even Solaris 2.5.1) was a bad idea, because there was a whole host of things wrong with that ancient version of Solaris, and if they wanted to be on that platform then they needed to be on a much more modern version.

Secondly, threading on Unix at that time was ... problematic ... and that was true even on the most modern versions of Unix that were available at the time. Multi-process programming worked well, however. On Windows, the reverse was apparently true. So, naturally the outsourcing developers used threading, and they used threading on an ancient version of Unix that had about the worst possible implementation of threading. Oy.

Of course, learning these things at this stage didn't help Symantec. They had already outsourced their aircraft and gotten an Albatross back in return.

I did help them develop a testing regime that could relatively accurately simulate a real-world distribution of mail message sizes and types, with a real-world distribution of supposedly infected messages, and then beat the holy living crap out of the server trying to push that volume through as quickly as possible.

And I did get called back to teach a class on Unix to the lead QA team in Denver, so that they could try to support NAVIEG on Solaris 2.5.

But so far as I know, the consulting company I worked for never got called back to help them actually fix their design problems with the code, and I think that project probably died a pretty quick and vicious death.

Also, so far as I know, no one at Symantec ever again tried to develop or support any code that would run on any flavor of Unix or Unix-like OS.

The article reads like something generated by an AI. It fixates on a core idea (astronomers use the hubble), repeats it a number of times with minor variation, goes on unrelated tangents (sources of charged particles in general rather than as specific to this anomaly) and riffs on these themes in ways that make zero sense (astronomers controlling solar wind using magnetic fields? Unlikely).

The title will probably be enough to drive millions of views, though.
