Will the Coronavirus Outbreak Thwart Airbnb's Planned IPO?
Thanks; I did not know that. I perceive that a mature brokerage would be more likely to be covered in the event of a "bailout" – are there any other advantages, e.g. 24x7 customer service via phone, including ability to place orders and receive immediate confirmation even when website is down?
Learning! Reading relevant books, talking with colleagues. Or doing orgamization overhead, such as the preparation of an issue tracker or a wiki for the new project. Thus you are fully prepared once the new project starts.
The problem isn’t really the need for exotic matter in enormous quantities (apparently we have a negatively curved universe where dark energy serves exactly that purpose), but rather the aspect of causal disconnection: everything inside the bubble is disconnected from everything outside it, so it’s difficult to envision how the spacecraft inside could be generating, steering, or even shutting down the warp bubble outside itself.
Wow, this is amazing content. I'm not sure anyone has exposed the reach of SCL similarly.

edit: in case anyone here is just reading the headline, be sure to go through to the end. Seeing Parscale connected to this is concerning (though it may be a tenuous connection).
> The problem isn't analytics the problem is tracking

Both are an issue.

I do not use Brave but [citation needed].
Location: Bangalore, India

Remote: Maybe, depends on the work profile.

Willing to relocate: Yes to Europe. Will consider US.

Technologies: Embedded systems (mostly C, some C++), Cloud Backend Microservices (mostly Go, some Java Spring Boot), Security protocols - IPSEC, TLS and VPN in general. Experience with standard cloud tech - Kubernetes, Docker, Redis/Hazelcast, Kafka/RabbitMQ, Cassandra etc.

Resume/CV: Can email on request. Gist of it - About 7 years of experience with a Product Company in Fortune 100, working on Embedded Systems as well as Cloud Backend in a Microservices architecture. Most recently, built multiple backend microservices at scale and looking for Cloud backend roles - preferably in Go/Java but open to learning others.

Had phone screen with Google (was the absolute first interview scheduled after many years, did not go as well as I'd hope for). Since then, had onsite with Twitter (waiting for result) and onsite scheduled with Microsoft, Amazon and a couple of others.
I'm already on-board with data-oriented design, and my pedigree includes lots of such projects and languages (C, C++, Go, etc). I'm also familiar with Rust; I've been dabbling in it since ~2014. Still, I come to opposite conclusions.

Rust is a magnificent language for many things, but I'm manifold more productive in Go or Python, even in concurrent contexts. Notably, the ownership rules guarantee correctness, but they also prohibit all sorts of correct programs (e.g., functions that only run in a single threaded context or whose shared data doesn't actually mutate). I would say I have the hang of these rules, but I still struggle to make sense of the lifetime error messages (and I find this nearly impossible when I'm tired), contrary to your experience about the clarity of the compiler messaging. I don't mean to slight the compiler--communicating about lifetimes is fundamentally hard; however, the point is that these error messages must be dealt with in all code even though the overwhelming majority of my code isn't subject to race conditions in the first place.

I really want to like Rust (I love it in theory); however, frankly I don't see how Rust can approach a GC language with respect for productivity for anyone unless the domain prioritizes correctness and/or performance above all else.
>There is no magic solution here

The solution is to let people do whatever the fuck they want with their devices and replace broken parts as they see fit. You can't have it both ways. This sort of a strawman is more baffling than the actual issue.
He so very much doesn't. Back in the days of Usenet, Michael was one of the best-read experts in our discussions, and I admired him for that a lot. There weren't that many of us who could go toe to toe with him in a debate about Middle-earth lore. (There certainly were a few! And honestly, intense debates with him did a lot to hone my own expertise in this stuff: it was fun, especially if you could avoid provoking too many flames.)

That said, he also had a strong tendency to reach some conclusion on a controversial topic and then defend it to the death, even when most of us felt that the ultimate answer seemed unknowable or even fairly firmly different than what he claimed. His arguments were based on immense textual knowledge, followed up with emphatic assertions of truth if you dared disagree, and intense flames if you gave him the slightest excuse to get personal. He said, at times, that the rest of the newsgroup had a grudge against him and that people arguing against him were rejecting Tolkien's words or not arguing in good faith. For quite a while I remained on cordial terms with him and with everyone else, but at some point he decided that doing that constituted me enabling what he viewed as their toxic behavior, and we haven't interacted as friends since. All that is to say: the guy knows his stuff, and unless you're a top-tier expert he'll argue circles around you, but I still don't trust his conclusions on controversial topics.

If anyone wants a more balanced look at the Elf-ears question (from the same era when Michael wrote this FAQ, I think, or at least compatible with it), I've got an essay by Conrad Dunkerson on my site: http://tolkien.slimy.com/essays/Ears.html

The text rewriting on top of the page is incredibly annoying. It's too much text always changing and it doesn't really give any value.

Product looks interesting though!
It was Apple's secrecy/denial that resulted in a degradation of trust, not the throttling.
Recycling is such a farce. Anything where you have mixed streams going into the recycling bin is quite likely to end up buried somewhere in a developing country. Even when they are recycled they end up being turned into insulation or some other secondary product.

Growing up in Scotland we had a recycling system which was great. Irn Bru bottles were glass bottles with metal lids. The lid proudly announced that you could get 20p back for returning it (in the form of credit towards other purchases). The same trucks delivering stock took the empty bottles back to the distribution centre when they were cleaned, inspected and reused.
Aluminum recycling still makes economic sense, right?

I'm curious how this is going down on the inside right now. I wonder what the issue was and why the fix is taking so long to implement. Curious about the environment and how management is interacting with the developers...
What Alice Gets Right About Aligning Incentives
Considering Robinhood's website instability, and their total lack of customer service, any mature brokerage would be a better option. Some (Fidelity, Schwab) even have branches you can walk into to get help if necessary. Schwab has $3.25 trillion assets under management (AUM), for example. If that isn't "too big to fail", I don't know what is.

Blossom Capital | London | Software Engineer in Venture Capital

We back Europe's top startups at Series A (including YC almumi Duffel, Fat Llama and Sqreen) and building technology is a core part of how we operate, from sourcing deals through to automating due diligence.

Roughly a third of the companies we invest in are sourced through our technology platform and we're looking to hire someone who will help take it to the next level.

Our current stack is Python + Postgres based, but beyond engineering skills we're looking for someone who'll enjoy spending time with the investment team really understanding what we look for investments and thinking about how to translate that into technology!

If that sounds interesting drop me a line at imran@blossomcap.com
> I'm also reminded how trivially easy it was to configure Win9x to use a different shell: you'd just edit system.ini under [boot] to say shell=litestep.exe and you were done.

Fun fact, Win98 still had progman.exe installed (from win 3.1 and earlier). I had to switch to it in system.ini one day when something in explorer got corrupted and the normal UI wouldn't load.
I've found Startpage ( https://startpage.com ) to be a good compromise -- it delivers Google search results but proxies it through their servers for privacy / less-Google-tracking.

Another handy thing is that Duckduckgo has a flag for it so you can search DDG first then just add '!s ' in front of your search terms to have the search done in Startpage instead.

Also useful thing for iPhone is to set the default search engine for Safari to DDG instead of Google -- I can just type '!s' before my search terms to get Google results without the tracking.
While technically true saying that is misleading, since companies can and do make political donations through PACs.

For example on November 12, “Google LLC NetPAC” donated $5000 to Devin Nunes’ campaign: https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1208199872668528641
My only memory of Jack Welch was a PBS interview I caught a slice of where he was asked what his number one piece of advice for management was. He said that a CEO's job was to create and promote culture.

I can see a lot of negativity for the man in the comments here but I agree with him on the culture issue. I can understand the negative feeling people get with some of Welch's personal cultural choices. However, it does seem he was successful at articulating a culture and bringing in a team that believed in that culture.

I think it is wise to try to learn from people even when you dislike them, maybe especially when you dislike them. Even if you don't like what he did, you can change your view to respect how he did it.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar to Suspend Presidential Campaign
There have been a few 'keyboards' over the years that are nothing more than very large touchpads with some raised areas for finding key edges. They have all failed spectacularly. (all the ones i've seen have supported multitouch gestures and tap for type)
> I'm very skeptical that it ever gets to the point of a GC language

For me, it does impose a (small) cost over a GC language. But other aspects of the language (enums, traits, type inference, etc) are so much better than most mainstream languages that it more than makes up for this. I write JavaScript quicker than I write Rust, but I write Rust quicker than I write Java.

Trying the Allwinner F1C200s
When you complain about innocuous things like this, you weaken your argument.

Guy or gal is fine.
The narrative existed because there was a span of several years where successive updates did make iPhones a bit slower, by virtue of adding more features and complexity. Since Apple makes money by selling you a new phone, some people assumed that it was a way to gaslight you into upgrading. When these people learned of a circumstance where it was definitively shown that Apple did slow down older devices, they took it as proof that their gaslighting theory was true.
Some people think that Robinhood front-runs its customers as well. I am not accusing them of that, and I am sure their policy is clearly outlined in their fine print terms of use agreement.

The finance world is very different from the startup world. Hard work is very specifically made clear in the cultural expectations and people who fail to deliver are ruthlessly pushed out. Also, in finance, people reap the rewards of their hard work (and the firm's proportional financial success) annually in terms of cash bonuses. It's world's apart from startups, which are much "cooler" than finance.
It is the result of refining the geometry of the warp bubble to be generated by two toroids rather than a single ring, inflating the interior compared to the external perception thereof (a la Tardis), and most critically, by oscillating the field.
Yes, easily. Microtargeting and related campaigns can be distinguished entirely by the content of they present. Microtargeting is just a technique that can be used for good or bad. In the case of Obama's campaign, nobody has accused them of misleading or false information. Brexit and the the US 2016 election was almost defined by misleading or false information (as you can see by lingering Pizzagate, QAnon, and Bengazi conspiracy theories).

Amused at the downvotes. It is true. You can not like Clinton and not vote for her, or Obama. I don't judge and people can disagree. But the amount of false content in those campaigns (which came to be known as "fake news" after the fact) was unprecedent, was aided/spreaded by foreign sources, and was largely on partisan lines. Evidence includes https://news.stanford.edu/2017/01/18/stanford-study-examines... among countless others). It would be just as wrong if, say, the Sander campaign did the same thing.

AWS Developer Tools | Seattle, Berlin | Developer, PM, UX | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://aws.amazon.com/products/developer-tools/

AWS Dev Tools builds the tools that we all use for software development and CI/CD ... at least some of them :-). I'm leading a team (CodeStar) of impassioned developers trying to re-invent how we create, release, and iterate on software quickly and safely.

We're looking for engineers to build this out! If you have experience with different languages (Python, Go, Java, Node, etc...), different platforms (Linux, iOS/Android, MacOS, Web Apps), different workflow tools (JIRA, Circle CI, Pivotal Tracker, etc...), different organizations (startups, enterprises, governments, universities), I'd like to hear from you.

I come from a startup background and the rest of the team is made of people with varied skills - you will learn ALOT here. I'm also interested in talking to Product Managers or UX people with a strong interest in tools for building and shipping software.

2+ years of professional experience are required for these roles and there are openings for extremely experienced and accomplished individuals.

Email me (Adam) a resume (or similar): adnelso @at amazon.com
Question to those affected: When Apple had throttled the CPU due to old batteries, did they suspend throttling if the phone was connected to a charger?
This is kind of a thin post linking to someone's larger project/company, but it does almost touch on something of substance, that there's (what I call) a "Blackwater Problem" with statistical-targeting companies. This is when one company out of many (manymany) emerges as the whipping boy for a problematic (if not inherently criminal) industry or profession. We see the same kinds of company name shuffling, same maintenance of primary leadership, who is essentially that industry's lobbyist over the long term.
Nice way to show the content. Really brings home the fact that nothing much has changed for 2020, only getting worse.

curbFlow | REMOTE | Sr. Backend Engineer, Lead ML Engineer, Computer Vision engineer | Full-time | www.curbflow.com

curbFlow's mission is to bring order to the chaos of our city streets, and we're beginning with the most painful part of the passenger and delivery experience: pickups and drop-offs at the curb. Since the advent of on-demand services, demand for the curbside has far outstripped its supply, causing record congestion, unsafe behavior and lack of equity on city curbsides. curbFlow solves this by acting as the air traffic control tower for the city curb, sourcing supply from municipalities and demand from commercial operators, like existing customers UPS and DoorDash.

We’re a remote-first company, though we have small hubs in SF, DC, and NYC for people who prefer an office environment. We primarily develop in python and node.

Sr. Backend Engineer - You’d be working on the backend for our mobile apps, aggregating data from our edge computer vision devices and writing the core logic for our reservation system.

Lead ML Engineer - You’d be writing data pipelines and setting up test and monitoring infrastructure that would help us train the next generation of CV models. We’re looking for someone who has experience in the roll, and who would be comfortable leading ML and Data engineering as the company grows.

Computer Vision engineer - Open call for various levels, we’re looking for people with passion and a strong track record of using academic learnings in real-world scenarios.

We have a general posting below, please state which of these rolls you are interested in applying for.

Please apply through lever: https://jobs.lever.co/curbflow/a6986263-ac56-45f8-81a9-2cbb8...
I cannot think of one single use case where infinite scroll makes sense compared to plain old data tables that are paginated with server side search/pagination built in.
The chromium source code is open source. At the point that Google attempts to cripple them, they just fork. A big bummer to fork, but certainly they won't be crippled.
Metals I'm sure make sense, at least the valuable ones. I was referring to only plastic recycling.
They claimed for years that they didn't slow down older (1-2 year) iPhones. Then it turned out they did.

If the phone was only going to last a year without becoming unusable unless it was throttled, then that's terrible design. If they slowed down old iPhones to drive sales then that's fraudulent.

Either way I'd rather not be in an ecosystem that only has one manufacturer that conducts business that way.
I don't see intentional performance degradation as a "feature."

Companies don't usually hide "features" from customers.

Companies don't usually pay fines for hiding "features."
Reduce and re-use, as the slogan goes, were always preferred, but never seemed to be taken as seriously as the (apparently) largely-BS recycling efforts that got most of the attention. I guess because that was much easier and more visible than efforts at reduction and re-use.
Aluminium, copper and 1st grade wood-free paper.
That's good feedback, we might consider simpler ways to show different possible use cases.
FuzzBench: Fuzzer Benchmarking as a Service
Apart from maybe seL4 (which I only know by reputation, and was translated from a formally verified spec) I can't name any software that I would call reliable. If we ever want computers to actually work, the whole stack needs to be flensed down to the metal and replaced, and I hope Rust is the language to do it with.
