Freetrade.io | London, UK | Multiple Roles | Full Time | Remote & On-site | https://freetrade.io/careers

We're a technology company that brings simple, free investing to everyone.

We’re building all the technology and infrastructure from the ground up.

We're looking for outstanding engineers and engineering leaders to help
us scale to our next 200k users.

Multiple roles from £40k to £110k+ (mid to principal software roles and above)
I got a debt of 100,000 dollars, depression and suicide thoughts. Then I gave up, got a backpack and started travelling just to live and have fun. 6 years later, I'm happier than I ever thought I could be, and way more satisfied with life than I would be if my startup had be successful. Life is definitely not a straight line.
I usually like to set percentile thresholds: bad performance is much more likely to cause user frustration so I’d set something like p50/90/97th values for your supported scenarios (e.g. on a website, you might say “old phone on 3G”, “laptop on WiFi/cable”, and “desktop on fiber”) and treat blowing the top end budget as the most critical: fix in next release if you can’t meet your 97th percentile targets but otherwise every release should incrementally improve.

For network latency, you can set profiles in things like headless Chrome or use the Linux / macOS traffic shaping globally.

And one might argue, it isn't a usable product without assistance. Per the video, she couldn't even lower the handle without him to exit, and it certainly isn't getting in/out of even wheelchair converted vehicles by itself.

Not to mention electrical power (Vs. gas in the competition) definitely could result in the user being stranded, even if it has a power-usage monitor (given how environmental factors can impact non-air conditioned batteries).
How do you search for previews of commercially available images then?

What I would like is an open protocol for media licenses. Some media-license.txt file with names of images (and wildcards) and license info.

hero.jpg CC0
*.PNG PD # public domain
# A free preview of a proprietary image.
Teaser.jpg preview

Everything not marked is considered proprietary, like now by default.

Then sites like shutterstock could clearly mark their previews of real images, and galleries of free images could mark their images as free to use, etc. This could be reflected in the search engines' UI.
Please follow the posting format
No, not directly, though they have donated to the relevant foundation, but in any case that isn't quite the same thing.

The use of Wikipedia's information in search results is generally useful to the user.

Pinterest's spamming of search results can harm the user experience, making it harder to find content that is hosted elsewhere. Often the content elsewhere is better than that found on Pinterest because it is more likely to be the original source (or at least cite the original).
They simply filter out DNS records on their caching DNS server that they provide to their users.

As a bystander but friend of Shawn's, I can say that over the last few years he has demonstrated an incredible ability to quickly learn and master concepts, then pass that information on to others.

I've seen him go from someone who didn't know anything about web dev at all, to a master of what's going on with React and its ecosystem. He's added expertise on Svelte and other tools as well.

Shawn excels at a lot of "big picture analysis" type thinking (which makes sense given his prior financial background), and I always find his comments and presentations insightful and highly informative.

I haven't yet had time to read through this new book due to my own tasks, but based on the blog posts I've seen him write leading up to this, and the preview material he's tweeted, I have full confidence that this book is going to be an excellent resource for other developers.

As for the price, Shawn's clearly put a lot of time and effort into writing this. If you have questions about his ability to do so and the likely quality, I'd encourage you to read through some of his blog posts to get a sense of how he writes:

Our cat's name "KJ" triggers "Hey Siri" frequently, usually when my wife says it. Seems like such an odd cross connect.
FWIW, eurex and xetra do have rate limits and will throttle and disconnect abusers.

There are also limits on average order to trade ratios (this is required by MIFID2 IIRC).
Whenever you see a company "forcing" someone to do something, it's almost always an exaggeration. Apple has never forced me to do anything, nor are they forcing developers to do things. Their employees aren't holding a gun to anyone's head. A better description would be "As a condition of developing an app with a free trial, Apple requires developers to implement auto-billing." But, that wording doesn't cause enough drama and outrage, so we have "forcing" instead.
Now all we need is a similar repo for the looting and memorial vandalism.
i wonder if the program should be ethical use of intelligence, not just artificial intelligence to prevent the reckless use of logic under an influence.
HK has the inertia of having lots preexisting international HQs there. Any takers on how many of those will move out over the coming decades? > or < 50% of them?
It was just a technical issue, right?
appears android 10 has been abandoned by Sony for my main driver (mid 2017). time to try the custom ROMs which are only just appearing..
Long time Pinterest user here with a different perspective; back around 2016 there was a serious problem with duplicate images on Pinterest. You couldn't search for the word "bicycle" without seeing the same photo hundreds of times. At some point it got better, and it seemed to me that they were doing some image recognition. It has since gotten MUCH better at suggesting images that are visually similar.

So let me get this straight; you guys are mad because Pinterest has done such a good job of labeling and categorizing images that they come up in most Google Image searches? Show me on the doll where it touched you.
Darken as in response to “can’t LCD darken enough” in parent.

Anyways any LCD can be a transparent LCD if you peel off backlight layers if you want to experiment with. Search for “DIY transparent LCD” or “LCD side panel casemod”
The UK already formally recognized the PRC as the sole government of China, and, as such the successor to ROC and Qing interests. Sure, this was in large part about who has the most guns, but it's not like the UK control of HK itself was a result of a free and uncoerced agreement of the parties, either.

It does. If I worked at a Japanese company, I would learn Japanese. I would respect the culture of the country I emigrated to. Otherwise, why would I live there?
This is going to be platform-specific to a degree. I'd expect there to be profiling tools around V8 and Spidermonkey that can help you figure out what the interpreter makes of your code, and potentially guides on what patterns to avoid. With JITed interpreters, these things can surprisingly specific.

Well that's why I said "fair market value". It shouldn't be considered bankruptcy fraud if they were fairly compensated for the servers, as the monetary proceeds would still be in the estate. But perhaps that is the debate.

Nationalization seems heavyweight and unlikely, but maybe it could happen. The integrity problem could be solved with hashes, but it would take some work to define them to be useful.

BTW since they distributed copies of the Archive across jurisdictions, why the heck didn't they do the same with legal entities? Redundant copies aren't much of a protection if the organization can be coerced into modifying data, as western governments have been all too tempted to start doing.

Really interesting. Tangentially related, this 2006 Astronomy Picture of the Day showing a render of cosmic rays coming down and the corresponding air showers is really illustrative [1]. These things happen millions of times per day. I'd love to see a more modern animation of it.

Wikipedia is expressly marking its content as free, and is interested in disseminating it.

I'm not sure that Pinterest's mission is the same.
There's nothing that constrains its application. Its users are those energized by outrage and offense and act on emotional reflex. Their position of pure victimhood is the perception which justifies their right to take down anyone for any reason.

It's single-minded, irrational, damaging to society and acts with little regard for the nuance of actual reality - which means it cannot in the long-term solve actual problems we face without creating bigger ones.

Acting is good faith and with intellectual honesty is always going to require voluntary participation. But if one contestant decides to knock the pieces off the table, then what we're watching is not a chess game, but one party claiming chess superiority because he bit his opponent on the neck.
So far, all the traffic is done through LinkedIn organically. We've got 200+ registrations.

We've got Designer in our team so pretty logo and UX are set.

We'll have to start paid Ads but that will take atleast another 3 months. We've planned to have closed beta launch test it for a month then push it out to public.
I like how the Swincar has a roll-cage.

Even if the "Not a wheelchair" has a lower speed, and less off-road capabilities than the Swincar, it still seems like roll protection could be a useful safety system.

I guess they're relying on the light[er] weight?
Again, whats the point of "handing someone a CVE?" Literally just make a post somewhere on the internet and let people see it there. If a CVE shows up, add it to the top. If not, oh well. It should be 100% about getting the right information out there, isn't it?

I've spent a lot of time involved in responsible / coordinated disclosure and it's always like this. The person disclosing "just wants to help", but the reality is the vast majority want (or feel entitled to) something for their efforts, be it their name behind a CVE, a bounty, or recognition of some type. Perhaps even the admiration of the company (wow, thanks we are impressed you found that!). That's totally normal and fine, I just wish more people would admit it.

Slow and exothermic.

A star would be unlikely to directly enter an event horizon but would instead orbit the black hole (with resulting doppler-shift accelerations detectable on Earth via spectral analysis), and strong emissions from IR to x-ray frequencies as matter was ripped from the star by tidal forces and drawn into the event horizon.
I believe such a business decision should belong to the subscription SELLER, as it's their business in line.

When the market doesn't like your actions, the market makes you pay. That's how the system works. Regulating that market response seems like the actual authoritarian move.

Great initiative, given that most of the immigrants are educated, experienced professionals, and have English as their second native language. Definitely, democratic progressive countries should compete for the right to host Hong Kongers.
SLO Adoption at Twitter

But there is also no reason why they should even try, whereas before there was.
Thanks for the feedback. I'd be skeptical too.

We are in the process of getting these docs ready and it will be up in a couple of weeks.
And I'm sure that's a very great experience when you have a Pinterest account. For the rest of us it makes half of Google image search useless because we can't view the original site image thanks to not having an account.
At the end of the day, Google is a private company. They get to set the rules and police search results how they see fit. I don't think Pinterest is doing anything unethical. I do think it is spammy, though.

That doesn't make sense. There is no one "White" culture, so when you capitalize the word in the context of United States of America it refers to the KKK et. al., not to mainstream American culture, which developed in waves of lots of different cultures (not all of which are European-derived.) E.g. the Irish. Treated like shit when they first got here, now we have St. Patrick's Day parades. And so we have Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Chinese-Americans, and so on. They kept their cultures.

Now when we talk about African-Americans you gotta remember that Africa is a huge continent, not a single nation or culture. The people who were kidnapped, beaten, chained, subjected to the horrors of the Middle Passage, then treated like subhumans for hundreds of years, they came from many different cultures, they were forcibly prevented from carrying those with them, and so they have formed a new culture, native to the soil of this continent. That's why it's appropriate to capitalize the word "Black" when referring to Black American culture: it's a proper noun.

When you speak of "white people" in America, you're generally referring to the whole American mainstream culture, which is neither genetically nor culturally Caucasian exclusively. The word "White" capitalized as a proper noun refers to a specific complex of "White supremacist" culture.

In sum:

Black - African American

white - Mainstream American (includes everybody: The fictional character Steven Quincy Urkel could be called "white" in this sense.)

White - racist American subculture
> The thing is, we do know a lot about those flaws and the only way to really fix those flaws is with a clean-sheet redesign.

That's just not true. People seem to be conflating the fact that the design required software-controlled stability (e.g. MCAS) as a "fundamental" design issue. That's just not the case. The problems were:

1. MCAS was not sufficiently redundant.

2. Boeing tried to get away with the changes to the MAX without requiring recertification or pilot retraining, which was just wrong.

Both #1 and #2 have straightforward fixes.
