+1 for the TS3 Plus. I spent A LOT of time looking around at the dock/hub state of affairs when I got my 2018 MBP 15" because I wanted to drive 3-4 external monitors and wanted as few cables as possible. The CalDigit drives my 2 2K monitors (but can drive higher, at least 4K IIRC) via DisplayPort and then I plug in 1-2 other Thunderbolt 3 -> DisplayPort (or HDMI for my older monitor).

From the hub (read: 1 TB3 cable plugged into my MBP) I get:

* Gigabit ethernet
* PD to my laptop
* 1 DisplayPort (which I use to drive 1 monitor)
* Digital Optical (I don't use it)
* 1 TB3 port (which I use to drive the other monitor with a TB3->DP cable)
* 1 USB-C 10Gbps port
* 1 USB-C 5Gbps port
* 5 USB3 5Gbps ports (old square style)
* SD card reader
* Headphones/Mic output/input

It is wonderful to plug in 1 cable and get my power for my laptop, internet, monitors, webcam, wired mouse/keyboard, Lightning cable for iOS development, Micro-usb for Android development, external SSD for CCC backups, and label printer (and probably something else I'm forgetting). I just want to reiterate, all of that from ONE cable. It's pretty amazing.

This is, by far, the best setup I've ever had and I have never had a problem with it in the 2+ years that I've been using it. I picked mine up for $299.99 and it's worth every penny. I see it's $250 on Amazon right now and if this thing died today I would (after a tiny bit of research) re-buy it immediately.

> Even if it was no more deadly than the regular flu (it's not - it's at least twice as bad)

This is not a useful statement. For young people it is significantly less dangerous than a severe seasonal flu.
I was a co-creator of The Last Mile's coding program, and taught many classes in San Quentin prison. The students were generally there for a decade plus, for violent crimes.

I would sit next to any of them for any length of time. They pose zero threat to anyone.

This is for two reasons:
1. Generally, violent crimes are done by very young and poor people. By the time they get out of prison, they aren't very young any more. If they have a good job, they aren't poor either.
2. If a prison lets someone in an educational program, you know the system considers them safe. The system buckets inmates; behavioral offenses are harshly penalized; everyone in a classroom is an angel, and they won't stop being an angel on the outside.
> Turns out Brotli was included as a dependency, and it ships with a list of common fragments that are frequent enough that they justify hardcoding.

How big? I know from coding word games that typical English word dictionaries only take up around 3MB example.
I've not worked anywhere where I was "strongly incentivized" to fly a specific airline.

Also, your usage of "paid luxury travelers" is suspicious. I get that traveling on vacation is a luxury, but I feel like it implies they pay more.

Businesses may get discounts for picking an airline, but what's the mix of business-class seats sold to business travelers vs personal travelers? I think it's the corporate travel that props up the whole system, even if buying at a discount.
How to improve your SaaS NPS score
>"But this person committed a "serious, violent crime" that sent them to prison for 13 years. Are you comfortable sitting next to someone who is capable of a "serious, violent crime"? Are there certain crimes that cross the line for you? Would you expect your employer to inform you of their record?"

I would not feel comfortable sitting next to someone who was substantially more capable of committing a serious, violent crime (which might indeed have been murder if she did 13 years) than an average member of the population and I would expect an employer to take my welfare and safety into account.

The question is whether someone who did do that and went to prison for it is so much more likely to commit such a crime than average. I don't know the answer to that but I don't think it's outrageous to think the answer is "no".
AWS Is Not Your Ideal
Honestly, I'm more worried about what 13 years in prison did to the person than the original crime. We don't know what the original crime was so it is hard to say in this case. Perhaps they have some deep, anti-social personality flaw and I wouldn't want to sit next to them. I would be concerned about sitting next to an innocent person who spent 13 years in prison, though. For me, that is a root issue. How many criminals are flawed people vs people who made a mistake or reacted badly to an isolated situation or just didn't have the skills or maturity to handle a difficult situation. I'm reminded of a quote I heard once. "Crime is committed by the young but prison is full of old men." People aren't the same their whole lives.
If you're talking about a massive gamma burst sterilizing life on the surface of the planet there are some continuation of the planet options with a 10 year timescale. Ark submarines full of embryos that are mass produced by a world that somehow puts aside their differences and comes together for the singular goal of saving life.

Restarting the carbon cycle would require a massive effort, but with planning and lots of hard work it might be possible. The post apocalyptic world would be a strange place full of dead plants and animals that take a long time to start decaying because all of the microbiota that normally cause decay were also killed off. It would be interesting to see how fast they would spread afterward. It would give humanity a small buffer before they start releasing gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere at least. It really depends on how well the oceans survive. If algae can come back reasonably quick the planet can be saved.
What percentage of the population do you estimate is made up of these racists?

Biology has talented PhD Biologists spend 5 hours a day on hard to reproduce, unoptimized minutia that isn’t innovative. Radix Labs hopes to accelerate biotech innovation like early compilers did for computing by enabling lab protocols to seamlessly operate and be optimized across physical labs. Our software makes biology reproducible, faster, more efficient, and lets smart biologists focus on the science instead of managing the implementation. We do this by developing a compiler, operating system, scheduler, and device drivers for biology labs and protocols. We have funding from Ycombinator (S18), Firstminute Capital, MIT's The Engine, and Nikesh Arora.

Technologies: 100% Scala code base but we don't require you know it already. (It's helpful if you have past functional programming experience with Erlang, Ocaml, Prolog, Haskell, or similar.) Other tech: HashiCorp stack (Nomad, Consul, & Terraform), Apache Kafka, Akka, ScalaJS React, Z3, Cats, Bazel w/ rules_scala, (some) AWS.

We're especially looking for an experienced front end developer to lead developing our front end visual programming language that biologists use to describe their protocols to the rest of our software.

ABOUT:

Software Engineer with 1.5+ years experience working in Research and Development Laboratory, currently working on L-4 Autonomous Vehicle System. I have a desire to move out of research and more into something more product or SAAS centric. I'm always willing to learn new tech stacks and face new challenges. I'm only considering full-time opportunities at some cool places. Reach out if you have any questions or opportunities that you should like to talk about.

Thanks! And have a great rest of your day.
Unfortunately, I don't think that's it. The same subset of my coworkers who requested that we don't invite Scott Aaronson to our colloquium because he said something vaguely anti-feminist years ago are perfectly happy to praise (literal murderer and talented number theorist) Christopher Havens, and I'm sure would be happy to have him employed by our department.

edit: Of course, universities still don't hire violent offenders, but I don't think the reasons for not employing a Twitter-pariah and not employing a murderer are closely related at all.
Visa doesn't solve the same problems as Bitcoin, so this isn't comparing apples to apples. Bitcoin isn't a centralized, credit-based payment network; it was designed as an electronic alternative to cash. (Don't forget to include the economic and social cost of global anti-counterfeiting measures necessary to maintain the USD market value in the cost of the Visa system!) Also, the reward halving schedule applies to blocks, not transactions. Any of the scaling solutions which increase the number of transactions per block (e.g. the Lightning network) will proportionally reduce the power expended per transaction.
Definitely possible to limit the wattage received on that side in firmware.
Put yourself in a companies position, if you hire someone who had a violent past, and they commit a violent crime while at work, or to a coworker or client off the clock, the company will be held liable, no two ways about it, it will come back on the company.

Additionally, there are countless contracts that require you specifically not have anyone with criminal convictions, and require full background checks to be awarded the contracts, even more so if it was a violent felony.

Those are two very serious liabilities to a company, I understand that people deserve a second chance, but do you put your company at risk to give it to them?

I would prefer a programming position in the games industry, but am open to other Software Engineering opportunities. Having worked in a government agency as a consultant for the past 4 years, I'm ready to escape the "Corporate" environment. I'm looking for something with more flexible hours than 8-5 and a looser dress code than "Business Casual." I'm very good at reading, understanding, and improving existing code, with great attention to detail, readability, and maintainability.
I think you don't have experience with the Trezor. It uses BIP32 wallet (hierarchical deterministic wallet) which derives the private keys from one master seed stored on the device. Older wallets could import separate private keys, but Trezor doesn't have this feature.

If you want to move to a new device without having access to the master key, you need to make a transaction that connects all addresses (both inputs and change addresses).

It's not just ,,linkable over time'', it means that you link all UTXOs in 1 transaction.

What you are wrighting is also a problem, but different from what I had in practice.
> If people enjoy that good for them I guess, but nothing changes the fact that they're fantasy. (...) If you can't take B&W you should consider that make-ups, costumes and all settings were chosen according to how they would look in B&W.

So the colorized versions are a Fantasy, but the original b/w versions were already a Fantasy.
Matterport | Senior Software Engineer, Frontend/3D | Sunnyvale / San Francisco, CA | Full-time | REMOTE VISA

Matterport makes a 3D camera and web platform that allows users to easily capture and display 3D models of physical spaces. Check out some example spaces in our gallery: https://matterport.com/gallery

Some interesting facts about us:

* We host over 4,000,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 4PB of data.

* We serve over 90 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 45 billion requests and 2PB of data.

The WebGL team makes our 3D viewing and editing applications for the web and VR. Core technologies include Typescript, THREE.js, WebGL and Preact. The team sits at the very end of our 3D pipeline: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, before REST APIs serve the data to the WebGL and VR applications, which is what the end user sees.

If you have worked with 3D engines before, or if already know "normal" web development well, and want to take the next step into the world of 3D and WebGL, send me a note at hakon (at) matterport (dot) com.
Not to worry you unduly but how many people are you already sitting next to capable of "serious, violent crime"?
And bad also includes those committed "crimes" for which there's not even a victim. The law book is the main reason why the police are such a problem.

Same with all law that makes police (and politicians) invincible to repercussions: the law is the main reason for the broken system.

Why is the law so broken? Well, I argue because politics are broken (they should update/fix the law). The democracies don't actually serve the masses, but the rich elite.
Money goes to the state cofins, not to the victims.
Which is a good thing. A background check looks for past, present, and future issues that could indicate a pattern of unethical or illegal behavior, or conflicts of interest. Every employee, regardless of actual job position, is given some level of inherent trust over the country's money, data, or physical assets. A background check is a minimal defense against misplacing that trust.

(Insert snide remark about elected/appointed politicians here.)

Historians fill in gaps from partial information about what happened in the past all the time. I see this as no different then recreating a scene based on an old video.
I have miles with all 3 major US airlines. (I think some have expired), there is no real friction. I slightly prefer United when costs are the same - but only because my company prefers United when costs are the same and thus my points add up faster then when I do need to pay for a ticked myself.
I wonder how the victim(s) are doing now -- does he/she/they have great tech. jobs now?
I think those questions are distracting to my very simple point: I don't want to work with a person who has murdered someone without a damn good reason (self-defense).

I truly can't believe that HN thinks this is some offensive opinion.
Putting 0 into 686 wouldn't to anything, unless you had a program running in the background there, like a DOS wedge. 679 through 767 was empty at startup.
That's an interesting look at their internals; I wasn't aware of their dynamic sorting feature.

At read time, though, Snowflake's zone map is the same as Redshift's and Vertica's; you'll see similar pruning for many queries.

Redshift however doesn't prune during joins, which is a huge deficiency.

Snowflake looks more flexible about getting the data into its final ordering.
Well Henry Cavill is a pretty high bar to be fair.
>Historians should be doing everything they can to help us be more connected with the past

No, Historians have the job of creating an accurate account of the past, their job isn't to connect you to anything, they're not Facebook for the past or the history channel.
Let's break this down. Someone commits murder, and gets sent to prison for 13 years. They are out now. How do we deal with them?

1. If everyone says that they will no longer want to work with such a person, especially rich people, who can enforce that want, that person will end up working with poor people. The rich people are making a classist argument.

2. Worse, if that person, cannot even get bad jobs, they will be forced to commit more crimes in order to live. Now, the first crime might have been because they were a bad person, but the second crime is on the people who refuse to work with them.

3. What are other possibilities?

You get out of this conundrum by making prison about rehabilitation. Ensuring that people who come out are changed people who are not inclined to commit more crimes. Then you treat them like normal people. And hopefully, that world, while not perfect, will be better than this world.
Btw. It's only unsupported third party docks and chargers which themselves are not standard compiland.
I get really frustrated with it, it just looks like attention seeking even if its not.

If you need to cry or scream or punch something, go do that (punch a punch bag in the gym etc), we'll wait, and then come back and we can talk and be rational together. We all need that sometimes. But don't do it in a meeting or on camera.

It's just emotional incontinence.
Pay by the minute while a significant number can barely operate a keyboard...
>Nothing will come of it

To me, this is the most disappointing thing, that people will still continue to use devices that spy on them, even when they know that the device is spying on them. Many will say "we need better laws! punish those police!". Why even give them the opportunity to use your data maliciously in the first place? Why place all that trust into a complex system, a system with so many points of failure? It's inherently untrustworthy. "Oh, we won't use your data for malicious purposes, promise ;)". All it takes is one bad actor to inherit that system to cause problems. Again, don't even give them the opportunity; don't forfeit your freedom to begin with.

Delete your facebook. Delete your twitter. Get rid of your spyphone. Breathe the free air again.
In total, about a half million people are in jail or prison for having, using, or selling drugs. Drug crimes account for about half of Federal prisoners.

But percentage-wise, when you add up federal, state, and local prisons and jails, drugs are not as large a percentage as you'd think. Another half million people in prisons or jails haven't been convicted of any crime at all, either because they can't afford bail or because they're just being processed today. If you had to guess what someone went to jail for, and you only knew they were in a State penitentiary, violent crime would be your best guess.

Here's a bit pie chart: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.html
I think the real issue is that we don’t rehabilitate, so under our current system of justice, I would argue that it’s normal for someone to feel something in proximity of such a convict. The reason being, they were probably treated like an animal for over a decade. Give them hope and some courses to get their shit together and suddenly I’m less worried about the whole situation.
