JustWatch | Berlin, Germany | FULLTIME, ONSITE | https://www.justwatch.com/us/talent
JustWatch is the world's leading movie and TV show streaming guide.

We are mainly looking for talent for these specific roles:

• Product Manager

• Senior Backend Engineer (Go, JavaScript, PostgreSQL, ES)

• Frontend (Vue.JS, Ionic, Capacitor, TypeScript, React Native) — especially with TV and mobile hybrid experience

• Site Reliability Engineer

• Senior Metadata Core Systems Engineer (Golang)

• Working Student for Frontend Engineering (React Native)

• Working Student for Campaign Tech (Golang).

JustWatch promotes a culture of learning with a high degree of autonomy and room for personal growth. We work on hard problems, with low politics, clear focus and great context. We don't have any non-technical product management and like it that way. Our development philosophy balances fast hacking with a solid architectural foundation. We are a self-funded and profitable start-up, founded in 2014 in Berlin and currently employing around 60 great people.
If you're into great code architecture, good naming, like to (continuously) deliver production code and actually help build a product bringing value to tens of millions monthly users already, let us know. For more on how we work, our culture, values and engineering practices, be sure to check out our blog.

Are you interested? Great, we'd love to hear from you. Just send us an email at talent@justwatch.com. We don’t believe perfect CVs exist, we just want to know who you are and who you want to become.

A core truth I wish I would remember more often.
I don't think there is any chance to stop it now. Its too wide spread. Even though countries like NZ have done a very good job at lock down, they can't keep those counties permanently closed.

The best option is just to carry on so we don't have bigger problems due to collapsing economies. Although that might be a bit late for some countries.

If you follow it through, that line of argument makes no sense. If the video weren't fake, would that somehow make the murder of Rohingya acceptable? Of course not.

Ultimately you end up back at the beginning: holding people, and not pieces of information, accountable for their actions. That's an issue with civil society, not social media.

It's "educational" in the same sense that selling an action figure of the Artemision Bronze, or the Antikythera Ephebe, would be "educational", i.e. its true purpose is to make $$$ by selling an easy but empty sense of fulfillment to people who don't have the time to educate themselves, or the inclination to do it too far away from a Wendy's apparently.

Totally anecdotal evidence, but I was in a rural NY house served by DSL for the past 6 months. The DSL has consistent packet loss between 4 and 6%. The only video service that could handle this level of packet loss well was Amazon Prime. Netflix couldn't even load its browse screen until the past two weeks, where something changed, and suddenly Netflix could handle the high packet loss as well as Amazon Prime.

Thank you to the engineers and developers!
Your pains to defend outrageously fascist behavior by the drivers supporting Trump is terrifying to me.

I even agree with you that the white car crossed into the right lane, but the idea that this discussion is about whether that car crossed the lane or not is psychotic.

Zoom out just a minute. Before you have any cars crossing any lanes, you’ve got a caravan of cars for one political candidate aggressively flanking and boxing in a bus for the other candidate and trying to intimidate any drivers associated with that campaign.

That is so deeply, deeply wrong and horrific. There is utterly no excuse for it.

How can you not see that by acting as if there is any semblance of a legitimate discussion to be had about the microscopic details of the white car changing lanes that could in any way mitigate the horrific election interference that the black car and others are perpetrating, you are yourself literally (not hyperbole) tacitly supporting fascist repression of fair electoral processes.

Your comments here are disturbing to a literally violent degree.

I'm surprised Texas doesn't have a replica that's twice as large.
I agree 100%. Deepfake hysteria is absurd.

I'm the author of https://vo.codes, and my goal has been to make deep fakes as accessible as possible so people become familiar with them.

You know what people use vo.codes for? Memes. That's it.

A number of journalists have decided the technology is entirely confusing and deceitful. While there are new risks posed by deep fakes, I believe the potential for good far outweighs the bad. Today I see it being used mostly for artistic purposes and for humor. The real threat is social media and the soapbox amplification and attention algorithm, not deep fakes.

Deep fakes enable creatives to make this kind of stuff (most of these are made with vocodes) :

vtubers are using it to give themselves new voices, which is amazing:

As the technology improves, it will become disruptive and enable average people to join the ranks of Hollywood actors, directors, music producers, and vocalists. The future isn't A-list celebrities and grammy winners, it's people like you and me.

The people stoking the anti-deepfake fire are the media. They claim that this is the end of trust and authenticity, despite the fact that classical methods of trickery and deceit are already way more common. Where are their doomsday articles about catfishing, phishing, and social engineering? There aren't any, because it isn't exciting.

This technology doesn't really move the needle for deception if you can slow a video of Nancy Pelosi to half speed and claim that she's drunk.

Deepfakes are just the next wave of photoshop. People don't use photoshop to steal elections and win court cases. They use it to make memes. It's the same deal with deepfakes.

The technology is going to improve. And I'm sure the hysteria will increase in volume too.

Real time voice conversion and video generation is going to be cited as "scary", but it'll mostly be a hit with gamers and vtubers. It's not going to be a "Mission Impossible"-style espionage tool. It's going to be used in good humor and to good effect.

These tools are going to bring about a new media renaissance. They'll let the small players compete with the giants. That's not scary - it's exciting.

That's also what I'm working on for my startup: memes today, hollywood / old media disruption tomorrow.

I've already got insane growth (millions of requests a week, and our videos have hundreds of thousands of YouTube views). I'm wondering when to pull the trigger and start hiring people. (My users are already working with me to build more!)

I'm super excited by this field, and you should be too. The media is screaming fire, but I'm running at it with full speed. I see the magic and the amazing opportunity.
Exactly, this is what the VESA mount on the back of your monitor is for. For an almost no effort solution, you can zip tie a pi to the mount bracket and screw it in (some monitors may even be able to power it via usb). Integrating into the monitor's electronics makes no sense.

But that's just because they come from the same WebGL spec repo. The 2.0-compute spec indeed hasn't been updated for a year. I imagine it was halted because WebGL 2 never saw great adoption to begin with. Though even Apple / WebKit is finally adding it, because I think they realized that WebGPU is going to take how many more years to pan out. What a disappointment.

----------------------------------

Hi, I am Saurav Kothari, a full stack engineer with 5 years of experience working with some of the fastest growing startups. I consider myself to be an engineer first, developer second; i.e, my goal is to solve problems and technology is one of the tools I utilize to solve them.

Over the past years I have had the opportunity to work across a wide range of business domains from SaaS to e-commerce. I have worked across the stack over components that have been internal facing as well as user facing and I believe I can emphatize with the end consumer of my product. My experience as a Product Engineer has expanded my horizon to understand business goals and how to tie them to tech goals to create a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

I have been fortunate to have worked with various languages and frameworks and feel comfortable learning new ones as needed and switching between them on the go.

There is a sizable group of people who do not know that The Colbert Report was satire. The problem with satire is that there will always be a group of people who think it's real, it's like a corollary to Poe's Law.

> Perhaps here lies the crux: nothing in the four freedoms seems to me like a license or rule of property, because none of them enforce scarcity. I got an impression that the author didn't oppose them on those grounds, but I might be misreading.

Author here. As a point of clarity, I oppose codifying the four freedoms into law because the only way to do it is under a regime of intellectual property. That is, it requires assuming, at some point, that ideas or intangible things are property.
My "favorite" instance of that, many years ago, was when the dialog turned out to have said, "Reboot the computer immediately because IT has installed new software." I filed a ticket on that one.
This story is slightly munged due to my own faulty memory and to obfuscate the guilty parties...

The company I work for develops network appliances for large backbone and provider networks. One of the things these appliances do is maintain a "hearbeat" with each other so that if one disappears, the others know about it and can send an alert to the NOC.

The heartbeat packets themselves needed some kind of payload, even though the payload was not important. At that time, the company was still a small and scrappy startup so humor was generally encouraged. So naturally the engineer decided the payload should be a random line from a list of pirate quotes. Ship-its all around and the feature made it into the next major product release.

A couple months later, a very angry call comes into the helpdesk from someone _very_ high up in the food chain of a major U.S. telecom. It turns out they had noticed the pirate quotes in a random packet dump they were looking at and the network team spent a whole weekend thinking their network was very deeply compromised because our appliances were one of the tools they were using to inspect the network and kept seeing the "Yarr, Matey!" and such everywhere they looked.

Needless to say, the pirate quotes went away in a few days as part of an emergency patch and the heartbeat message was changed to something more mundane but less likely to trigger heart attacks in our customers.

> I’ve heard this over and over, but I never understood it. How is Git supposed to be decentralized when you push and pull from one place?

Git is a _distributed_ version control system, not a decentralized version control system. This simply means that users of the repository download the entire repository onto the machine they are making changes from. Distributed version control systems have no opinions on whether the source of truth for a given repository is decentralized, distributed, or centralized.

Why do you assume Google is rational?

Or more precisely: Why do you think any outsider could understand Google's rational?

History is littered with the corpses of successful companies that lost their way.

Today's Google reminds me of General Motors. Utterly dominant, untouchable. But needed to keep making more money. So they bring auto loan financing in house, GMAC. Woot, more money. But they forgot how to make money making cars. So upstarts ate their lunch.

It's a rough analog. Maybe IBM is closer.

The point is Google's rolling in cash despite their antipathy towards their end users (note that I did not say "customers"). Which will continue to be fine, until it isn't. And then it'll be too late.

I have my email going to my own domain, but can’t figure out how to ground it out in anything other than someone else’s tld.

So, now I’m in a situation where, if my gmail account gets banned, and the DNS provider decides to reset my password, then I’m permanently locked out of everything. I could point my DNS provider at my “real” email address, but that’s even worse, since needing to update the MX record could lock me out.

Does anyone have any creative solutions to this problem?

Small businesses are a huge target of investments. As for stocks, micro-caps have historically outperformed large-caps, and micro-caps individually are limited in how much investment capital they can efficiently utilize.

>Also someone with $50 million can still invest into an ice cream stand but someone with $50k cannot be an early investor into a tech company.

That is mostly due to regulatory restrictions on public offerings, and yes, that contributes to greater income inequality.

In a free market however, you'd see low-friction token sales, with thousands of contributors, providing the tech company with its initial capital, not a small cadre of VCs.
With git, "push/pull from one place" is merely a usage/behavior convention by collaborators. Nothing about git requires push or pull, and nothing about git requires that you only use a single "canonical" repository.

The key point about git is that every copy of the repository is semantically equivalent to every other copy. The one on your local machine is a fully fledged repo just like the one on your colleague's machine and just like the one on github or wherever else a "canonical repo" is hosted.

This is utterly different from older systems like svn or perforce, where the "central server" is semantically distinct from whatever you have on your machine.

At any time, you could decide that a different instance of the repo is canonical (shared push/pull), and that's what make git decentralized.

My parents have a business selling low-carb cookbooks online. They used to do very well because of the organic reach they had on Facebook (they have 1 million likes on their page). Posts would routinely have reach in the millions. One day Facebook changed their algorithm and their reach (and revenue) dropped over 10x. They've been limping along since then, and are planning to retire. It's tough having a single point of failure like that.

Yep, it is very likely that the post "slipped by" and very few people actually saw/noticed it.

Added some of my personal "at first sight" impressions to previous post.
I would put the estimate of "server lying on the ground" at more like tens of billions of dollars.

Here's how I back in my math:

1. AWS is a $44 billion run-rate business.
2. This estimate from the Duckbill group has EC2 at 60% of the AWS bills of "large accounts". https://www.duckbillgroup.com/products/public-cloud-analysis...
3. I used to work in EC2 Networking and looked at the graphs with the server counts for all of EC2 on a weekly basis, so I can't say the actual numbers here, but I have a very good idea how big the EC2 fleet is.
4. 60% of 44 billion gives us an estimate of 26 billion run rate for just EC2.
5. In my time at Amazon where I was on multiple teams that ran large fleets (thousands of machines), and I heard about utilization numbers for services like Lambda and Fargate, 50% utilization would be a very, very good number for VMs in the cloud.
6. 50% of 26 billion is over 10 billion per year of wasted server capacity (that people are paying AWS for)

So yeah, tens of billions of dollars of AWS and the other cloud providers revenue are likely "waste" from the POV of customers.
Meh, what do you want for nothing?
