Stripe | Solutions Architect | Melbourne, Sydney | ONSITE, VISA

My team is looking for strong technical generalists who are comfortable in multiple programming languages, interested in working with our users, and delving into complex integration problems spanning time, currencies, and local payment methods. Most people who have heard for Stripe mainly think of us as a payments company, but our ambitions are much broader. We hope to increase global commerce by building financial infrastructure and tools to meet the needs of companies of all sizes anywhere in the world.

Stripe’s pre-sales Solutions Architecture team works with engineering teams at large and high growth companies building on top of Stripe. Solutions Architects are experienced engineers with a strong background developing full stack applications, communicating technical concepts, and leveraging technology to drive business value.

We’re especially keen to chat if you are:

* Confident and comfortable with customers. We're expecting to see user facing roles in your past or present.

* A strong technical generalist. Many of us were engineers in prior jobs.

* Comfortable with code-level debugging (Stripe code and user code)

* Empathetic, collaborative, communicative, consultative

* Intellectually curious, with great problem solving skills

Check out the roles here:

And the people for whom the vaccine was not effective.
I wonder if OK is a linguistic example of William Gibson's "steam-engine-time". Given the multiple plausible etymologies, is it possible that OK emerged simultaneously in many places at once, and the crossover between the different occurences cemented it in modern language?
But we are talking about Robinhood here. I doubt they trade $350B worth of crypto.
Afaik Actions (maybe Packages, too?) was always built on Azure. I think Github core is on bare-metal

I'm guessing they probably get the elasticity of cloud while paying the wholesale or at-cost of the infrastructure (surely they get some discounts over the advertised price, at least)
An example described in the article, and which comes from the same branch of analytic number theory, is Daniel Shiu's result that you can find arbitrarily long strings of primes in "any" arithmetic progression.

(By "any" I mean any arithmetic progression a (mod m) where a and m don't share any common prime factor.)

So, for example, there is a string of a billion consecutive primes, each of whose decimal expansions ends in a billion ones.

In principle you could use the method to find it, possibly the first example would be around 10^(10^10) or so.

The gateway to all of this is the quantitative form of Dirichlet's theorem on prime numbers in arithmetic progressions: given coprime a and m, there are infinitely many primes which are a (mod m). (So, in other words, Shiu's result with "just one prime".) In this case, we know asymptotically how many such primes there are, and we can get upper bounds on the error. The proof is highly non-constructive, and uses complex analysis applied to the so-called "L-functions".

Using a variety of trickery ("sieve methods", "the circle method", etc.) this can then be leveraged into other interesting results.
I don’t get why bool_data couldn’t be an array of two strings with x indexing into it…
Questions like how does etymology argue that a word in said dictionary is "wrong"? Or what are your thoughts on dictionaries that go to great lengths to include good etymology on their entries, such as the OED?
There are various browser extensions that do that. Chrome Dev Tools has a coverage tab to do something similar.

Good luck dumping that much shitcoins overnight.

Also, they could always accept without endorsing.

Enough of wasting energy and human effort on shitcoins...
The US won't ban Bitcoin, because USG philosophy isn't based on obtuse assaults like that. What will happen is ever more "money laundering" laws making it irrelevant for its original purpose. You can already see startups gearing up for this with things like "cross border payment compliance" and the like. Eventually if you want to convert to fiat, you'll be forced to have good provenance coins as determined by such gatekeeper companies, effectively undermining the whole point.
Simon Peyton Jones (of Haskell fame) is part of a group at Microsoft Research that has taken this idea and run with it! See for instance [1,2,3]

There isn’t really a single price. Each miner sets their prices dynamically (off-chain). Some miners set ridiculous prices to scare off load and some even set their prices to zero to attract test deal traffic. Miners have different reliability and business strategies too. If you look at average prices for asks or deals, it can be very misleading.

So, we'll first put aside one thing, which is that the Catholic church provides very few guarantees for making it to hell,from, far as I can tell. There's some humility of saying that our lot is not to have full understanding of how God works (this also sidesteps some issues of unbaptized infants and people who were never exposed to Christianity.) You can get a system of salvation from God, but He gets to override that whenever he wants for worthy causes.

However, even with that out of the way, it's not that gay sex accumulates some overwhelming terrible immoral inertia in a person that eventually cannot be stopped. But it drives a person away from God continually. To really understate the idea by a weak analogy, it's like how eating a diet of constant sugar will not necessarily kill you, but is likely to lead to diabetes and metabolic disorders that people rarely come back from, even though we recognize that coming back from these is entirely possible. And not just that, but watching this from the sideline, you can't comprehend how the people suffering from these problems would sooner die than just curb sugar intake. How people walk into the general surgery practices day after day, not even acting surprised when you tell them you'll be cutting their right foot off because the loss of circulation from diabetes has caused it to become gangrenous.

Now apply that to something more important than your foot or your mortal life. The church's perspective is that unrepentant gay sex is to living a life ordered toward God, as excessive sugar intake is to proper metabolic functioning.

The particular urgency in this sin is that I am likely able to drink too much and disrespect my wife and watch porn, but then repent. All those things will weaken my relationship with God, but my acceptance that they're wrong allows me to be guided rightly. Living a committed homosexual life is inconsistent with living a life of God; being committed to both means that sooner or later, the incoherence will cause one or the other link to break completely. "If your left eye causes you to sin, better to cut it out..."
Good idea, I've perused the Spanish page on ‘local currencies’ and count seven of them (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moneda_local)—though on the English WP the topic is split across several articles. I'm also guessing the list might easily be incomplete.

(Also the ‘eQ’ thing on this page sounds like someone's marketing campaign, so perhaps should be cleaned up or removed. E.g.: “aims to promote local consumption, increase the purchasing power of people (for €1 you get 1.50eQ)”—wow very smart, much increase; but later suddenly “€1 = 1eQ”.)
When I searched online for the name there were essentially zero results for it so I'm surprised it would infringe anything. I'm not sure how trademark law works so I'll look into this though, thanks!
It's going to continue to wreak havoc I rual areas for years to come. Unfortunately these victims of propaganda are willing to die for their own made up narratives. Meanwhile I really don't care what they do. Good luck
Yeah, as Joker_vD said you need _some_ common ground as to where you get your methods from.

I dream about "implicit" interfaces in Java like in Go. So everything that has "flatMap" would implicitly implement "FlatMappable" or something like that.
From what I’ve seen up until now it’s often the last option. I’ve seen comparisons between the major cloud providers, but those have often been on the level of “I can boot a VM with x cpu on provider y and z”. With these kind of comparisons a major deciding factor then is discounts. And that’s an area Microsoft excels at.
It kind of works in Python 3.9 and perhaps earlier, unfortunately need extra parentheses ...

>>> print((v1 := 2 * 3) * (v2 := 7))
42
>>> print(v1)
6
>>> print(v2)
7

edit: formatting
Conventional security wisdom says that there are three primary problems with decompressing arbitrary inputs:

* Most compression container formats support relative and absolute paths outside of the current directory, for semi-legitimate reasons (like decompressing an entire raw filesystem, or using an archive format as an ad-hoc installation system). Many high-level languages have bindings that are unsafe by default in this regard.

* Most compression formats can be manipulated to contribe pathological inputs that require massive amounts of memory or CPU time. This makes them good vectors for DoSes.

* Compression and compression container formats themselves are complicated, for historical reasons. Many also have reference implementations with colorful security histories with regards to memory safety.

i did a double take while listening to the nature podcast on april 1st talking about rabbits -- with a genetic mutation that impacts their hind legs -- that walk about on their front paws only by doing handstands -- wondering "is this a complete-bullshit bad-taste easter-themed april fools joke - or is this a real thing". it that case it seems like it is a real thing.
Theoretically, it's not all. It's possible to have a reasonable cryptocurrency backed by something tangible.

In practice, all I saw so far was either pure fraud (USDT) or fiat currency (BTC).

I'm a free-market capitalist/anarcho-capitalist so I want to see people free from the awful state-issued money, but these stupid cryptos we see are no better to use as a substitute.

Eventually, we will probably see alternatives that make sense, but it might take a while.
To be fair, you’re doing the old:

“Nuh uh, you can definitely use a car as a boat”.

Yes, you’re right, you can live in the stack and use RAII for C++. But there’s no enforcement flag or a RAII-ONLY check at compile. So it’s moot what you’re saying.
My reaction to the expiring credits-based pricing was to feel anxious.

Also the fact that cost is not easy to calculate creates a barrier to understanding what the cost would be, which less-motivated people may not bother overcoming.

What made you choose this model?
His video on anagraphs is interesting (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTBAW-Eh0tM) especially if watched alongside his followup video proving that generalized kerning is an undecidable problem (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_npHZbe3qM)
I was just reading about them using fMRI in conjunction with high frequency focused ultrasound to lesion parts of the brain associated with certain mental disorders such as OCD. They seemed to be having decent success with that
Since there is a good chance you have not read the details within stokr.io, I'll offer some details, this is not just for retail investors, there is a minimum required investment in most projects, for example: https://stokr.io/blockstream-mining has a minimum of 200K EUR. This is similar to how IPOs function, but this is more open and you hold the tokens in your wallet, instead of a custodian like DTCC.

They are in full compliance of EU regulations:
"The issuance of securities is governed by EU regulations and is available in a number of European countries. STOKR is constantly working on making the securities available in as many countries as possible. Both individuals and legal entities can invest on STOKR."

It was less than a month ago and, with us starting our migration to Azure which is due to complete by mid-June, I'm getting decidedly jumpy about the amount of downtime.

Our current provider, with whom we have a number of dedicated servers, might be piss poor in some ways (takes ages to get changes made, lack of pricing transparency, kind of expensive for what they are), but I don't remember the last time they had an outage. There's definitely been one in the last year, but two in the space of a month is ridiculous.

Is this normal for Azure? Is AWS any better?
Who does the verification?
Money in escrow, paid out in multiple installments if certain conditions are met e.g. the bug does not become public until a certain date.
The only difference I see is in the kerning of the letters.

> I think he makes a fair point. It's not just the bureaucrats. At least in the civilian space, we don't know how to make the right things any more. The ambitiousness of new projects as well as the quality of consumer goods have both been in decline for decades.

I don’t think it’s something that was lost. Rather, as time went one, more and more focus went into financialization of these firms to the detriment of providing people with actual stable jobs and growth. Every industry other than software is pretty much unattractive for anyone talented. Why would you slave away at Boeing making maybe 75k when you can make almost triple that at Facebook?

I make the comparison to software because even though we, the hacker news reader & software guru, complain about boneheaded product decisions from Google; American software is just a leagues better than the rest of world (even if it’s in ways we don’t like, like Surveillance). This level of quality is driven by motivated individuals with great incentives, respected by peers and somewhat clear career paths driven by launching great products.

Contrast that with the 737MAX, which engineers knew they were building a clown car and felt powerless to do anything about it. Not to say that FAANG doesn’t have internal power struggles, but the 737 is Boeing’s baby at the largest aeronautics company in the world. I doubt you would see similar dysfunction on Google’s AdWords team.

While the CCP is able to completely bend private industry, I don’t think it requires an authoritarian government, but I have no solutions. In the case of Halliburton, it’s unsurprising that when you focus on figuring out how siphon government funds into the pockets of executives while doing the bare minimum to deliver on product you end up with crippled infrastructure 20 years later. It’s not that we forgot how to make things right, we simply never invested the resources to do things right at all
Yep, it’s a confused deputy problem.
That is objectively and obviously false. Why would you say something you know (assuming you read the OP) to be untrue?

Military spending has gone from 4.89% of GDP in the first year of the Obama Administration to ~3.3-3.4% of GDP in recent years. That's a huge decrease.

There's also alllll the times that military appropriations have been a political football. A lot of DoD folks have had to report to work unpaid multiple times over the past couple years. Many of them later got backpay when a budget was passed, but not all.

You may not care about the morale and dedication of those people, but this isn't a values-based or tribal-loyalties based discussion. It is an objective fact that China doesn't have to deal with this process and the resulting inefficiencies.
I still keep Tom's old fonts around on my computer for various purposes. They have a real character that I haven't found in other fonts: http://fonts.tom7.com/

It would be interesting to see if AI could be used to fill in some of the gaps in the fonts - ie: numbers for his Angstrom font (https://www.dafont.com/angstrom.font)
Or a hell of a clever ruse to cause exactly this confusion by consumers to think it’s more legit than it is. All of this is buyer beware outside of CoinBase. Why? CoinBase and regulators are best buddies. Hard to be dodgy with Big Brother peering into your customer data via IRS subpoenas.
i imagine keyboard apps are another doozy
Thanks, the first link answers some of my questions.

>Use of actors allows us to:

> Enforce encapsulation without resorting to locks.

There is no such thing as excess part since you can always offer extended warranty or something to buyers to sell them at least at cost.
yes. that's pretty much what GP said.

Do you find it inaccurate?
Yet, in fact you and the bicycle are physically leaning throughout any turn. I.e., you are at an angle off vertical with your center of mass distinctly not directly above the line between the points where the tires contact the ground.

Normally the plane of the bike, normal to the axles, cuts right through your center of mass.

Starting a turn by leaning is not usual for experienced bikers, but certainly works. For a beginner, staying upright while going more or less straight is what they need to work out first, but that invariably involves some spontaneous turns, so both are practiced.

What a century of children have been told is to steer with the handlebars, which is a reliable recipe for spills.
just out of curiosity, how was it bypassed?
It's a fantastic idea, but the landing page is more complicated than it needs to be.

I suggest embedding a demo video of someone using the product. A 30-45 second video ideally.

Make the page about the product, being as upfront as possible. This is the product, this is what it does, this is how you can access it.

For example, the way Apple does it: https://www.apple.com/iphone-12/ ... First thing you see is the product itself... then what it does, then how you can buy it (Apple used to be better at making these pages btw).
Biden Administration Announces Ad Campaign to Combat Vaccine Hesitancy
The riyal is pegged to the dollar.

But the point is that if you want the "maximum wealth" for your export stuff and you export a lot you obviously want to settle in your domestic currency, since that would lead to you being able to stock up on enormous amounts of foreign currency reserves. Just like China did.

Because if there's demand your your currency you can just print it.

Sure, this way they are stocking up on USD, but they can't print USD.

The destabilization on the other hand is also "exported" to the US. Eg, when oil demand drops, US Treasury rates increase coupled with the economic downturn, less tax revenue, more volatility, but this increase in uncertainty leads to people flocking to stable investments, which pushes rates back down a bit, plus it seems central banking is inseparably coupled to near-zero rates going forward.

(Of course the US economy is a lot bigger, they were the main buyers of oil anyway, so it made sense to just settle in USD, and initially the extra demand for USD was seen as a good thing, as it helped finance the US public spending via keeping bond yields - interest rates - low.)

Checkbook.io | Digital Payments | San Mateo/ San Francisco CA | ONSITE | Full-time | Engineering | $120K+ and equity We are a fintech startup and solving the problem of sending payments. paper Checks are still profound in the business world and there are no easy alternatives to them. ACH takes 4 working days. Instant and Real-time Payments are the way to go. Contrary to popular opinion paper Checks are not going away, in fact according the 2018 report by the Federal Reserve 15.2 Billion paper Checks were sent in the US alone, transferring a sum of money 3X times VISA/MC combined! We’ve built a way to convert Checks directly to real-time payments bypassing ACH altogether.

Recipient can Deposit them online by verifying their bank account instantly, no signup. no login, no app to download. Basically we are doing to paper Checks what Stripe and Square have done to the Credit Card space. We’re in midst of our Series A, seeing exponential growth, have a small but great team and super investors (Tim Draper, Naval Ravikant/Kevin Laws of Angelist, our customers and many more ) i.e. this would be a good time to join.
