This could be sort of like a debug mode of your brain where you can enter a dream like state while being conscious and forming permanent memories as opposed to sleep where you lose your dreams when you wake up.

I feel the 'spirits' they encounter are abstract personalities that the person forms this is why they don't need to speak to communicate.

If you can switch from work mode to family mode when your kid enters the room, what guides you? They are probably encoutering parts of their own personality with the addition of a dream like state where the brain just fills in gaps and creates a narrative out of seemingly unconnected dream sequences.. they are probably real because they are 'you' + some imagination thrown in..
This should be illegal. First off, it is deeply immoral to tax employees and give the money straight to their employer. But also, you don’t want to have this situation where states are competing with each other to see who can give the most corporate welfare- it creates a race to the bottom that forces all the tax burden onto the middle class in every state. It ought to be a level playing field by federal law.
I could see a lot of large companies that integrate with other B2B sites recoil in horror with a UI that encourages employees to enter their corporate email address and a password. Many employees would use their corporate passwords.

Getting paid an extra to provide premium service to a customer is normal in some areas, but it's a crime of you hold public office.
Many commenters seem to be under the impression that Yahoo was later sold for a mere $5B to Verizon, but this is not the case.

MSFT's bid was for Yahoo including its stake in Alibaba, which had a far greater value than the parent company itself. The Verizon deal did NOT include the stake in Alibaba. This was spun off as a separate company Altaba under the ticker AABA. (edit: I should be more precise. This is why yahoo was spun off and sold. AABA is the remainder of the company, and retained the majority of the value. I heard previous plans to spin off the stake in Alibaba weren't workable due to issues around triggering a taxable event.)

AABA's spinoff accounts for the large value discrepancy. Poorly written news articles portrayed this as losing out on a great deal but this simply was not the case.

HashiCorp Nomad 1.1 Beta
Sborex, the low code platform | Java Camel+JSSE developer | Remote via Upwork

A team (currently headquartered in Russia) developing a low code platform with a graphical flowchart engine for defining and executing Apache Camel routes seeks an experienced Java developer with Apache Camel knowledge. The requirements are as follows:

- Apache Camel.

- JSSE (the security)

- Having good experience with relational databases is also wanted.

- Experience with docker/kubernetes, including invoking them from Camel will be much appreciated.

- Knowing BPMN (activiti/flowable/camunda/jbpm) and SIP aren't required but would be helpful.

- We don't use Spring/Boot, your knowledge of it would only be helpful as a source of useful patterns.

In Camel, it would be good if you were familiar with components like Jetty, Netty, websockets, SIP, LDAP, Docker etc.

My native speaking language is Russian and I can speak English, but I better understand the American accent (I think).

Your task will be to create different processes within the platform and in parallel to learn the java codebase to be able to add the missing features and fix bugs. I, the initial author, will always be around to navigate you through the code.

The project page is here: http://sborex.com/poc/

I am hiring globally via the Upwork platform, please see further information there: https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~01f59ba239df8b029c

I'm not sure if I had to post into the 'freelancer' thread, but here you are. Cheers!
I don't see any way this could be a meaningful survey, because the implication is that 60% of consumers would "not even consider" switching to a cheaper provider, which is ridiculous.

Of course people would consider it. I'm not even personally convinced it's a great idea (I'm not currently impressed with municipal _anything_ living in Seattle), and I would _consider_ using it instead of Xfinity.

I doubt there are 20% of Americans who would reject cheap municipal broadband out of principle, if it existed and was offered to them cheaply. It doesn't mean they think it's realistic or good policy.
Yea at the end of the day it's all about what your threat model is. The strategies you use to defend against overt entry are not the same as the strategies you use to defend against covert entry (although there is overlap).
Yeah same. They have an API that is fairly consistent for stock stuff. If you're gonna do deep diligence there are better tools but for sniffing around, yeah they're good.
Not on PC though.

I think it's quite curious observation that for example the notion of perceived one-dimentionality of good and evil and their perceived additivity are both simplistically unrealistic and quite hard to shake off because of reinforcement coming from religions pervading our cultures.

But if you don't find that curious, but instead a generic incitement to religious flamewar it's fine by me.

I wonder if you also flagged the post itself, because for me it's a clearly a generic incitement to religious flamewar, because it postulates and praises influences of religion (and even a very specific one), which many people might find morally offensive.

Compared to pandas? No, it's not. Once I have all the data I need locally, it's MUCH faster to use pandas locally then to re-issue queries to a remote database.
Kalepa | MANY ROLES! (Senior Backend, Full-Stack, Data, DevOps, and Machine Learning Engineers, Product Managers, Technical Recruiters, Head of Product) | New York, NY (HQ) & Completely REMOTE| Full-time | VISA https://angel.co/company/kalepa

Every business on the planet needs insurance. In fact, nearly one trillion ($1T) dollars are spent globally each year on commercial insurance to protect businesses from losses due to fires, injuries, lawsuits, etc. However, commercial insurance is plagued with a big problem. Businesses and insurers don’t trust each other. This results in a lot of economic waste: Missed opportunities, mispricing, and mistakes. Everyone is worse off.
By combining cutting-edge data science and a proprietary learning engine in a delightful-to-use software platform, Kalepa is solving these problems and turning every underwriter into a top underwriter. There are many challenging technical problems to tackle as we continue to build and expand our software -- and a massive opportunity to transform an ancient industry that comprises 6% of world GDP.

Kalepa's team members bring experience from Facebook, Google, Amazon, ClassPass, Mastercard, MIT, Berkeley, UPenn, and the Israel Defense Forces.

Kalepa is backed by IA Ventures, lead early-stage investors in TheTradeDesk (IPO, $38B valuation), Datadog (IPO, $32B), TransferWise (last valued at $5B), DataRobot ($2.7B), Flatiron Health (acquired for $2B), and several other unicorns and public companies.

We are entering a period of explosive growth and are hiring for all types of roles in software, product, design, talent, and also in insurance. Send me a note if you are interested but don't see a role that seems like a perfect fit!

Dude, I am an electrical engineering graduate student, who is proficient in controls, among other things. I also am very aware of what is technologically possible, versus what is a marketing gimmick.

Musk has been in trouble several times with the NTSB, which is not an honorable thing to be on your record.

It is unsafe to drive any self-driving car without full human attention. This is going to be this way for quite awhile. It was irresponsible of Musk not to integrate technologies to ensure that the human at the wheel was paying attention to the road (eye gaze analysis, posture, facial emotions, hands on the wheel detection, etc.) for every single second that the driver was operating the car, with a mode such as autopilot.

Did you zoom in enough? On my system, it produces an image with pixel width of 11000 and file size of 3 MB, so the text appears too small when the default image viewer shows it at 12% zoom in order to make it fit within the available display size. Zooming in to show it at 100% zoom makes the text readable.

While this command works fine and is readable too at 100% zoom, I wonder why one would do this. Isn't copy-pasting the text output of 'ps aux' more convenient than creating a large image out of it that is not easy to read, filter, etc.?
this is exactly the sort of thought process that leads to terrible login flows. yes, it's technically possible, and it works for you.

but the login flow is one area of your product that needs to work for everybody. There's plenty of features that can be tailored to a power-user workflow because they're the only people that will see it, but the sign-in flow is not one of those. any confusing UI in your sign-in flow is going to confuse your least-confident users. and asking people using Facebook Sign-in to enter a password when they haven't ever set a password for your site is extremely confusing. all just to save a couple keystrokes for the most-technically-competent users.
that's kind of weird, I would think you'd want to measure things like time to dom load, if someone clicks off before that, etc.

Maybe for performance reasons?
If/as you give it a go in the future...do let us know what is working and what could be better. We do, in fact, care.

> How is the REPL experience if there is one?

About on par with C/C++ and Go. In that you don't have one and don't want for one. REPL driven development is difficult with languages like Rust, both to implement and use.

I think there are some projects floating around out there, but I personally don't see a purpose for one. It's not python or matlab.
In the Costco model, Costco pays up front for the vodka and incurs all the risk if the vodka doesn't sell. In the Amazon model, Amazon charges third-party sellers "rent" to be on the platform in the form of a cut of all transactions, but the third-party sellers still incur all risk for inventory that doesn't sell. And then Amazon turns around and uses the sales data from the third-party sellers to undercut them later on.
This is about the most agreeable HN post I've seen in months. WHY? Why do they do this? Why does every single "new" and "cutting-edge" idea has a website that takes me more then 30 seconds (absolute worst case) to find the very thing I need to login?

Why do companies like Twilio make me put my email in first and hit the arrow before i can even type in my password? (it confuses me and the password manager) and adds at least 5 seconds to the login process.

I ask... why?
My neighborhood crows may not be friends exactly but they’re friendly. I do occasionally leave out a bit of food, but well before that they began to recognize me as I trained my pup not to chase them. We moved from a city that didn’t have many to a city (Seattle) famous for them when she was about a year old, so it took some time to get her familiar with recognizing that some birds are different, but she definitely learned. And the crows appreciate the effort, even going so far as to give us passage when they see we have no way to go around them.

> relationship that they have with third party sellers

There are no third party sellers at Costco, it’s only Costco.

This is over 39 years. $845.8M / 39 = $21.68 million per year.

> Apple is promising $1 billion in investment across the state, as well as 3,000 new jobs with an average annual salary of $187,000. All told, the state estimates more than $1 billion in economic benefits annually from the project.

Does Apple need that kickback? Probably not. But it's also pretty negligible at only $21.68 million per year when they're providing $1 billion of economic benefit annually. These are all high paying jobs so the state and local governments are going to get a massive amount of new taxes, even net of these rebates.
Intellimize | Senior Back-end / Machine Learning Engineer | ONSITE San Mateo, CA or REMOTE (US or Canada only) | FULL-TIME | https://www.intellimize.com/careers/mle/

Intellimize optimizes websites to generate more revenue. We use machine learning to automatically optimize each buyer’s path to drive more web conversions.

Our unique solution enables experimentation and personalization at an unparalleled scale, and it replaces traditional approaches to optimization such as A/B testing and rules-based personalization. These methods are too slow, require daily attention, and don’t automatically adapt to changes in behavior over time.

This role: senior level, back-end and some ML engineering. The exact blend is flexible, and we'd be happy to have a great back-end engineer join us even without any ML background.

Primary technologies: Java, Python, Tensorflow, Spark, Airflow, AWS.

Our team is positive, low ego, and customer focused. Strong communication skills are a must.

We plan to re-open our San Mateo office once it is safe to do so, and the company will continue to embrace remote work (it's going great for us!). This team in particular is remote-first.

You can apply via email to careers@, or to alex@ if you want to contact me directly. I'm the hiring manager for this position.
The old saying is that locks are for keeping the honest people out[1]. Over 10 years ago I was able to pick my garage door lock with a pen cap, a bobby pin, and a youtube video. Around the same time I realized how locks were important as I had friends and family walk into my house because I wasn't answering the door or my phone.

[1] i tried to find who said it, but it looks like there are a ton of variations.
Yeah, especially if it was "free" (funded by top taxpayers).

And water is wet.

This was already becoming true by 2005. Dialup was in decline, and Google was beating Yahoo.
Luckily, that’s changing. C# 10 is converting namespace blocks into directives like Java. That means one fewer indent.
I think the Amazon brouhaha of 2019 proved that most cities and states are ready to roll out the red carpet and give big sops to FAANG if they hint that they're considering an office in their state.

Whether that is a net positive for the state and it's residents remains to be seen. It can be enough if it's a feather in the cap of a governor who's up for reelection.
I'm sure you can design schemas screwy enough that Rust can not even express them[0] but that one seems straightforward enough:

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
#[serde(tag = "kind", rename_all = "lowercase")]
enum X {
Foo { foobar: String },
Bar {
#[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")]
foobar: Option<f64>,
barbaz: String
}
}

[0] an enum of numbers would be an issue for instance, though I guess you could always use a `repr(C)` enum it might look a bit odd and naming would be difficult.

I'm a huge fan of decentralization. I dislike capitalism. I used to like cryptocurrencies until I realized cryptocurrencies are just capitalism in an extreme form, over the internet, and in blazing speeds. Everything bad with capitalism gets amplified in cryptocurrencies, as it never sleeps. It's all about the money, from the protocols to the organizations that gets build on top.

Contrast that against decentralization efforts like Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) or Mastodon, where the communication and liberation is the core focus, enabled by protocols that works offline-first (in the case of SSB) and can pass data between any peer.

Thanks, Nik.
This really grinds my gears too. There's something about the pandas API that makes it impossible for me to do basic ops without tedious manual browsing to get inplace or index arguments right... assignments and conditionals are needlessly verbose too.

Pyspark on the other hand just sticks in my brain, somehow. Chained pyspark method calls looks much neater.
