At Tessian, we're building machine-intelligent filters to secure enterprise communications. This involves high volume, low latency data processing for some of the world’s largest organisations. Our mission is to keep the world’s most sensitive data private and secure - to do this we're bringing on all stripes of engineer to help build out our platform to support our next stage of rocket-ship growth.

Principles we believe in:
Infrastructure as code (mostly Terraform)
Unit Testing & Integration Testing (NUnit, PyTest, Mocha)
Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment (using Concourse)
Designing security in (rather than testing for and adding it later)
Measuring everything (ELK & Prometheus)
Reproducible builds and environments (if it’s in production, it’s in Docker)
Cloud Deployments (AWS gives us the flexibility we need to move fast)
Right tool for the right job (PostgreSQL, Spark/Hadoop, Redis, Elastic Search)
I have friends who are in the animation industry (which has been heavily unionized since the 50s) and they tell me the Union is constantly fighting with the studios over the studios trying to get more work out of them for less money.

I have friends in the visual effects industry (which has never been unionized) and their lives are full of stuff like effects houses that did work on award-winning films with huge budgets closing up without paying people because the studio skipped out on payments.

These are very similar fields in terms of skills. Both are mostly based in the same place. Both involve a lot of long hours working on stuff that flashes by in seconds. One has a union, one doesn’t. One is better off than the other.

https://lockstep.ai | REMOTE | Full-time/part-time | full stack web dev + data science/engineering + sales/marketing

When P&G ships to Walmart, P&G doesn't get paid for ~6 months -- Lockstep bridges that gap so that companies can invest in the things that help them grow their business. Even more interesting is the fact that we tie a monetary incentive to sustainable supply chain practices (i.e. the greener the shipment, the better your interest rate)

Read: we're saving the planet by making the global supply chain a more more sustainable thing through $$$.

Our web stack is Ruby on Rails + vue/quasar - data stack is python/pytorch. We get a shitload of data tracking every boat in the water (among other datasets).

We're looking for support taking our product to the next level on all fronts (engineering, data, sales, marketing, operations, etc)

Reach out to hello+hn@lockstep.ai if you want to help save the planet with us.
I feel like these analyses are always very well researched and set-out, but the authors lack any formal qualifications at all. Why read this when there are Nobel prize winners with polemics on Bitcoin? It ends up reading like man-waves-fist-at-cloud on how economics aught to be, rather than how it is.
This can be particularly fun if the sender uses Amazon SES for example, because Amazon randomly rotates through its mail servers on each retry attempt, so a simple greylisting implementation (based on exactly matching the full IP) delays the mail by not just one, but possibly multiple retry intervals until by chance Amazon happens to use to original server again.

So you either need to whitelist Amazon SES (and possibly a few other providers behaving similarly), or use a greylisting implementation which doesn't match the full IP (I think Mailcow by default e.g. uses /19 for matching IPv4 addresses).

A previous mail hoster of mine did the former, i.e. Greylisting based on the full IP, and what was even worse, their support staff totally denied any knowledge of it and tried to claim it wasn't their fault that any e-mails from Amazon (Amazon itself and anything using SES) would arrive with random amounts of large delay.
I would bet it's just the influx of traffic post holiday with systems that haven't been updated in so long maybe some annoying memory leaks have crept up and gone unnoticed or some other bad state that was exacerbated by return to work day for most NA folks. Code freezes were good at identifying bugs that only show up after long periods.

Doubt anyone releasing big changes Monday morning.

It sounds a lot less hypocritical this way.

What agendas would a union push, other than the personal agendas of its members?
Hiring Product Designer / Lead
Hello and Happy New Year! We're looking for Product Designer. The description says apply till 23rd but we prolong the submissions. Let's chat! Thank you very much!
He had already seen exponential growth in storage capacity and could easily extrapolate from that. Moore's law was coined in the '60s, after all.

This wasn't a lack of foresight, this was being prudent. If I can't come close to testing an upper limit, it's correct to acknowledge it may degrade in a way I haven't anticipated.

Especially since he was writing a GUI which should generally avoid handing users footguns, and which can be updated over time.
Yeah, it's kinda crazy to me that people post.. well, posts using twitter. It's not ideal to share this type of content.
I believe it is a first case of hopefully many others of vaccine producer coming up with conservative estimate and then increasing it as they optimize the production process and remove the bottlenecks in the supply chain. One example of the bottleneck would be a limited supply of special glass vials produced somewhere in China.

I like how this article just ignores the role management plays in the development process. If your codebase is becoming increasingly spaghetti, and management doesn't let you take time to do meaningful refactoring because you gotta push out deliverables, apparently in FP this just...doesn't happen?

I also like how the author says that Toyota's bad acceleration and Boeing's 737 MAX were victims of spaghetti code, therefore it must be OOP, but provides no sources to prove that these codebases even were OOP, much less that being FP would have helped prevent these errors in any meaningful way.

There's so much restated information, this article is at least twice as long as it needs to be.
Of course, yeah, but at least you can sometimes see a yellow and infer it really means red :/.

And respectfully, despite the fact that Google is an objectively good place to work for many people (good pay, good opportunities for growth and advancement, etc), there is an abundance of evidence in recent years that for minorities, and for teams under specific leaders, Google has not been a good place to work.

Unions aren't just about wages and workloads, it's entirely possible that employees of tech companies (and shareholders of tech companies) that are unionized could be protected from the impact of shitty leaders through the power of collective bargaining and action that demands that abusive leaders and managers be held accountable.
At least part of the reason not to credit individual engineers is that it damages the myth of the genius CEO. Ask most people who invented the iphone, they will not say "it was the work of hundreds of people at a dozen companies inside and outside Apple", they'll say "Steve Jobs".
I don’t think this is correct. Maybe that’s for some place where there’s forced union membership?

I’ve worked at places where certain departments were unionized (for example hospitality) but others were not. Far below any such 30% threshold for total employment. Also unions form at individual worksites all the time, so I sincerely doubt there’s any company-wide membership requirements.

Edit: I'm correct. There's this concept of a bargaining unit, so it would only have to be workers doing a certain type of work in a certain place, generally, though it can be just those doing a certain type of work:

A company like google could end up with hundreds of unions.

>tell me what the terms of the contract will be and I'll decide for myself.

Nobody can tell you what the contract will be because the contract won't be drawn up until the union exists and has enough members to bargain.

What you DO know is the current contract you have. You DO know that you have virtually no say in what is in that contract, "accept it or leave," is not having a say in that contract. You DO know that as a member of the union, you will have a vote in what employment contracts look like. You DO know that if you have an issue, you have someone outside the company that you can talk to about it--that is, you wont' get fired for bringing it up.
Right on. Unless the compiler documentation promises a consistent handling of the various triggers of undefined behaviour, it is under no obligation to always generate code that handles UB consistently.

To my knowledge there is no C compiler that promises to always handle all forms of UB consistently. The closest you could get would probably be something like Valgrind.
> "authoritarians" - is that what they call entrepreneurs these days?

Yup, and I don't think it's a bad thing, necessarily.

Of course they're authoritarians, you do what your boss says or you get out. That's authoritarianism. That doesn't mean it's wrong or bad or ill suited to the task, necessarily.

Singapore is authoritarian, and I'd say things are working pretty well there.
Another sign that several FAANGs exist as a monopoly. When you're so big that you can provide effectively no customer service to a customer spending in the 10s of millions (and they have no competitor they can go to afterwards) there's a problem.

I'm migrating to Rocket.chat on Digital Ocean as we speak. Has anyone else made the move or tested Rocket.chat?
Zoom as well, no? Beautiful to see the whole team grinding to a halt. Or maybe everybody finally is getting some time for deep focused work.
Absolutely. I come here for comments to get an idea from other engineers of what's actually going on. Way more useful than an is it down site.
Unfortunately the law usually legislates against acts rather than outcomes.

Additionally in the eyes of the law, hacking a celebrity does not bring a higher punishment than hacking a nation state, despite its good intentions and the public interest of the released information.

And he isn't accused of "helping to protect an intelligence source", because that's not a crime. One claim raised by the prosecution is that Assange was sent hashes and ran them against a rainbow table in an attempt to provide assistance to manning in order to grant further access to confidential government systems.

If this claim is true or not, we don't know because it hasn't gone to court yet, but the accusation is more than "just protecting a source".

And personally I think there should be an exception to releasing documents that show government wrongdoing which means it isn't illegal - however this is not codified in law.
I think you should point out what specifically is too broad? They are pretty banal points about fairness, ethics, environment, we know that Google employees are likely to push for a blue-ish agenda, and it's really not controversial imo.

Sorry, that was not my intention. My intention was to guide you to read more about the subject you're currently discussing, as your points make it pretty clear that the idea of what a union is, is much wider than what you think.
Does Slack desktop support searching messages offline? It is certainly possible in the email world.
Maybe with a little Variety mixed in, but you're not far off the mark. Definitely in the standard British vein of snarky tabloid writing.

Laundry lists of reasons have begun to have the opposite effect on me than what their authors were probably intending.

Idk how to explain it. Scott Adams puts it this way - you would probably use the very best reason if you felt strongly about it, rather than a laundry list.
Most likely, one of your competitors negotiated a deal where you were deplatformed as a condition. $57M over 13/14 years, or $100M right now... easy choice for Facebook.
After a quick read, I see no evidence of the author having shorted the microstrategy stock.

Given the accumulated evidence in the article, this seems like a no-brainer play.

I don't understand.

Unless the whole article is hot air, of course.
Well, Windows 95/98/ME, 2000 and XP shared the same old font installer that Windows 3.11 . I wonder why no body changed it before.
True. Although in practice, the end-user freedoms that are guaranteed by copyleft practically destroy all, if not for a couple exceptions, of viable business plans.

So even if theoretically the most aggressive licenses still allow for commercialization, the practical effect is that commercializing a copyleft codebase won't travel too far on its own as a business plan.

This has been discussed a lot of times in HN, and the conclusion always is something on the lines of "don't do copyleft if you want to have any aspirations of commercialization on the software itself as opposed to peripheral elements such as support services or similar".
There's a certain kind of personality who needs to be a hero fighting against the enemy. It exists on both sides of the political spectrum. Both liberals and conservatives hate it when they see it on the opposite side but support it on their own side. When this sort of person lacks a clear enemy they will make one up. Some 10% of the group will always and must always be the enemy. Hope you don't end up unlucky enough to fall into that group.

The language of these organizers triggers too many warnings in my head around being that kind of personality. No matter which side of the political spectrum they are on I try to not support these personalities.
They also can, under certain circumstances, collectively demand that the company stops hiring anyone outside the union, and make other unsubstantiated demands such as mandatory membership fees, that benefit the union itself and not high-skilled individual employees who know how to beneficially sell their skills to the employer without third-parties involved. Also, contractors with individual LLCs usually don't sign non-compete agreements, so you don't need a union to be able to benefit from an expertise that is currently in high demand.
Amazing! I hope he gets access to the Bitcoin funds Wikileaks got to help him cover the bail and set him on a path to recovery where he can be with all of his family and children after this horrible ordeal.

Julian has a very rating personality, that goes without saying, but I cannot see a single erson who is still alive that has done so much to help disclose these atrocious crimes to the Public and has risked his life to help other whistler blowers than him.

Our false narrative of heroes don't actually exist, and the resolve and conviction to some of the most impactful things in regards to Freedom of Information and disclosing classified information isn't going to be from some polished Captain America figure. it only makes sense it was from someone like Assange who has pretty much lived his entire life from a young age in some form of activism as a result of his Mother.

I'm going to bypass the CCP v US thing as my stance is clear and u/dang has already told me that I take things too far with little to no benefit. But suffice it to say the two are similar but not compatible systems, the US still has the ability to re-direct it's course as it slips further into abject authoritarianism where as the CCP cannot exist without it.
yup

this is hilarious: having control over supply of your currency is a good thing, as long as it’s well run.
well run? how and by whom?

“According to a study of 775 fiat currencies by DollarDaze.org, there is no historical precedence for a fiat currency that has succeeded in holding its value. Twenty percent failed through hyperinflation, 21% were destroyed by war, 12% destroyed by independence, 24% were monetarily reformed, and 23% are still in circulation approaching one of the other outcomes.

The average life expectancy for a fiat currency is 27 years, with the shortest life span being one month. Founded in 1694, the British pound Sterling is the oldest fiat currency in existence. At a ripe old age of 317 years it must be considered a highly successful fiat currency. However, success is relative. The British pound was defined as 12 ounces of silver, so it’s worth less than 1/200 or 0.5% of its original value. In other words, the most successful long standing currency in existence has lost 99.5% of its value.”

I seriously hope these guys get their pages re-instated. Crazy that Facebook would ban their personal accounts as well. I wonder if they have decided that the concept of "sharing" something is redundant with Facebook's own features, so they decided to wipe it out. Shame on FB.

That said, I don't know of many "small businesses" that can pull $52m in ad spend, even if it's over 20 years ;)

Hey, author here.

I've been a mod of r/economics for half a decade, I work as a data scientist and I have a Msc. in econometrics for what its worth on formal qualifications.

I mainly wrote this one as a go-to to point people on my thoughts of the economics of BTC as pointed out in the TLDR box
You're not within your rights as a juror to nullify. You can do so as a matter of practice.

Jury nullification looks great for laws you disagree with. It's not so great when it's used to let people off the hook for lynchings.¹

Why Your Windows Taskbar Should Always Be on the Left Side
Platforms like Facebook can be an avenue to a great revenue stream but we've seen time and time again they can be capricious, passive aggressive, and tone deaf. Some day all of this will catch up to them but in the meantime, being dependent on any one platform for your survival is like playing Russian Roulette with an automated gun.
Primarily I am worried about fastly being used by loads of other websites and them getting data about me from usage of multiple websites, especially location sensitive websites, like map websites like OSM. If I allowed their scripts on all those websites, holy moly, the profile they could build about me ... Best way to protect your privacy is to not let the data be collected in the first place.

I am no lawyer and do not wish to read many pages of their legalese. However, if they somehow managed to convince me, that they are not building profiles, that they are not transferring or selling data to anyone else, and that none of the software they use does so behind their backs, then I might trust them. Now that is very difficult to do of course, almost impossible. I would rather trust a single entity, that is not present in any requests to any other website I visit. That seems to be much lower risk than putting data all in the hands of a single party, which is present on many many websites.
Choice quotes:

> Young people (aged 2-16) are much more likely to be the first case in their household. Those 12 to 16 are nearly 7 times as likely to be the first case in their household.

> 2 to 16 year olds are more than twice as likely to pass on the virus within their household.

> Children under 16 are less likely to get the virus from someone within their household.

> Accumulating evidence is consistent with increased transmission occurring amongst school children when schools are open, particularly in children of secondary school age (high confidence).
That might be true but when you take the global usage of Slack and their respective time zones, more than half the world would have signed into Slack this morning before SV had and I certainly didn't notice any downtime this morning in my time zone.
This argues that BTC is not money based on the big 3 properties, without considering that BTC has been running only for 11 years.

BTC/Gold is probably the best way to store wealth across time on a 10+ year time horizon without losing much "energy".

Historically fiat currency has been an anomaly, we don't know yet how long it will last. Only time will tell if this is the best form of money. Either way, it's always good we have alternatives.
Ahhhh that's it, thanks!
I cannot wrap my head around how that could even be possible?

They mention they had FB representatives physically received at their offices. Couldn't they join those directly?

I expect that if you spent 57 mio $ in any business, the minimum would be to have a direct telephone contact with a sales rep / account manager and to review the relationship quarterly.
