Metopio | Backend Developer (Python) | Chicago, Illinois ONSITE | Full-time | https://metopio.blob.core.windows.net/lalage/files/Back-end%...

Metopio is a data visualization SaaS that combines publicly available datasets with client data to identify relationships and make better systematic decisions. We have fantastic JS visualizations powered by a flexible data architecture and Django backend. We bring "analytics as a service" to people without technical or data skills, and we make it easy for anyone to explore and visualize data about their state or city. We’ve just closed a sizable seed funding round and are looking to grow. Our clients include the largest health systems and public health departments in the country.

As we grow, we're looking for a backend developer to help us build out and scale our analytics engine using Python—Django and SciPy. Django (or similar backend web framework) experience required, and you should be comfortable with data and statistics.

We are a growing startup, so candidates will be comfortable taking initiative and building new things. We offer competitive compensation with equity options. Apply by following instructions in the job posting. We will get back to you within a day and follow up with a phone screen, technical screen, short coding challenge, and then a longer interview. The whole process will take 2-4 weeks.
From Wikipedia:

“In the 2021 New Yorker article, reporter Gideon Lewis-Kraus writes that after talking with Elizondo, it was difficult to tell what AATIP had accomplished, and when pressed, Elizondo "invokes his security oath like a catchphrase". When in 2019 Elizondo was interviewed by Tucker Carlson, Elizondo stated that the government had fragments of a UFO, "then quickly invoked his security oath".[4] Colavito writes that Elizondo "still speaks of demon cabals, otherworldly beings, and UFOs operating beyond human perception — just not on 60 Minutes", and characterizes Elizondo's claims as "bad science and dangerous as government policy, the kind of magical thinking that leads to lunacy and disaster".[30]”
The government changed the terms of fully executed private contracts. But as risk increases, so follows insurance. So if the government wants to abuse contract law, watch the rent, penalties and security deposits climb to compensate for any future "moratoriums".

I don't trust Facebook when it comes to messaging. But even if I did they could easily rollout a backdoor to a specific client. In the worst case, they need some help from google and apple.
You can do all of those things outside of work. There are meetup groups, local sports leagues, etc. There is no reason it has to happen at the office.

Also this is just my opinion, but I find it odd when people's social groups are... just people from their job. There is so much more to life than just people who work in the same company or industry as oneself.
It no longer exposes compact option, despite it still being in many places in chrome's browser.css (if you grep browser.css there's about the same amount of references to compact and touch variants). Just why? It looks like it was not removed for any technical/maintenance reason, but just to spite users.
Tech Interviews Are Stupid
“It sounds like they stretched their own finances to the limit. The government was trying to solve a much larger problem that required indifference to the risks they took”

Your second point sort of invalidates the first. You argue that the government isn’t the source of the harm, then justify the government action as a prudent balancing of harms.

I think the point most are making is that they were trying to solve a much larger problem, but didn’t think the problem through particularly well.

It’s for good reason of course: these are people who want to be the boss, so they’ve already in many cases started to see regular people through that lens. From the point of view of the boss, regular people are objects of contempt; never doing what you want, you have to pay them more than you’d like, etc. So you see them as beneath you. The ironic thing is that many of the people with that worldview probably think of themselves as libertarians, even though that attitude is purely authoritarian.
This is something people are just not talking about for some reason.

WhatsApp/signal style apps cannot be secure to this sort of attack. You would think now that a public mass attack has been successfully carried out (encrochat) people would get it. I don't know if it's submarine marketing or what but people think the current situation is just fine.
Agreed - the effects of mental illness and its ability to flourish shouldn't be something to celebrated.
Forcing someone to be at an office is like saying "Hey can you work an extra two hours everyday for free?" Time spent commuting is work. Getting dressed for work is work.

If you want to keep people working in the office you need to pay more. At least 2 hours per day more.
You would think it would be trivial for an enterprising network scientist at these social media companies to identify these pods.
They optimized for doing it with three words, they obviously didn't even consider how it would fare against errors.
> Now what we have over the years seen interest in is adding processing cores to the RAM itself and maybe having a small dedicated processor for some tasks attached to the RAM may well prove viable.

I think we call these 'GPUs' today.

> just a row of slots you addedd a module that had CPU/RAM

As you mentioned, GPUs fit this description, but some PCIe devices are full-blown embedded systems.

I think we're at the point where the only major improvements will take place on the CPU die itself.
Cool. The RP2040 can put up to 12mA, and it's adjustable per pin.
>> The signal never improves.

It does. The xkcd comic below says it best. In recent decades the number of available sensors (cameras) have radically increased. So too has the quality of those cameras. But have we seen more and better pictures? No. The quality of evidence is not tied to the increasing quality of the signal source. If anything, the signal is increasingly pointing towards 'not real'.

It makes me dread taking their monthly releases. I wish they would decouple security fixes with everything else. My address bar is permanently broken, I cannot delete previously viewed sites as suggestions at all anymore.
As a much more intuitive version of quaternions, there's Geometric Algebra (aka Clifford Algebra). In 4D, the calculations end up being the same, but there's much more intuition and generalizability behind the Geometric version.
This is almost exactly backwards. Half of the staff work on tech. https://wikimediafoundation.org/role/staff-contractors/

2005-2008 was extraordinary from this standpoint, no question. A reminder of what a small group can accomplish with a vision that brings together a community ready to rewrite the world, from the ground up if need be.
I think there is a big difference between being vulnerable/opening up about those things we are all dealing with, and the "frailty performance art" that OP is talking about. Exemplified by that cringe-worthy viral video of celebrities singing "Imagine" from their multi-million dollar homes early on in the pandemic. It's OK to have troubles in your life and to express and address those troubles without shame. It's another thing entirely to humble-brag about your first world problems on Social Media purely for likes and validation. One is healthy and productive, the other is narcissistic.

I've made the point repeatedly over the years that open source projects have to sell something if they want financial support. In the case of Perl, maybe it's a particular implementation that comes with printed documentation. "Download the stuff you want to use and then make a donation of arbitrary size if you feel like it" isn't going to work. The RHEL model won't work for most projects, because Red Hat has traditionally sold support services. Slackware would be a better example. You used to be able to buy CDs with the new release if you wanted to support the project.
Production output has gone up over the past few decades and we’re expected to work the same amount of hours.

and for the same pay!

Depending on when they got the houses and where they are, 5 houses may have cost less than $100k for each of them and may not be taking in that much rent.

That is less than the cost of one house in much of California now.
There's a nice JavaScript/node version of the decoding code that you can run locally on the shc:/... QR code value here:

https://gist.github.com/remi/e3aa2f78845ee13f706ed83aead5145...

There's also an online version (that works on mobiles and desktops) and decodes everything on the client side:

Agree. I think this is one of the reasons Ada has seen (and continues to see) so little use.
The inherent problem here is that you work in the city, but don't live in the city. I think that with better housing policies (namely, better density), this would be far less common.
Don't get into the habit of using it. Just like incel, it's a trendy pejorative that for some reason is currently socially acceptable to use for people who mostly do not identify with the label. It's a reminder that the no-bullying campaign and war on slurs is a one way street.
I find it infuriating how designers keep adding more and more whitespace and padding on my desktop computer. If you want to make your UI easier to use on touch devices that's fine, but Windows 10 has a tablet mode that I keep disabled, so there's no reason to assume I'm not using a mouse. If I go to Customize toolbar there's three density options: Touch, Normal, and Compact (not supported). Why aren't there a supported compact mode, and why is the normal mode so full of unnecessary padding?

With the new design my bookmarks menu that previously had plenty of vertical space left now needs scrolling. Tabs have poor contrast and lack visual anchoring to the web content they contain.

I'm going to keep browser.proton.enabled to false in about:config as long as it's possible.
Removing menu iconography and making background tab separation less obvious seem odd choices from an accessibility point of view

The use of more vertical space is also bothersome but a personal preference

Overall, meh, at least on Windows. Feels like nothing important has changed other than it looks worse and screws with muscle memory. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

It feels like the "form over function" type of designers had their hands all over this. Experience is taking a backseat to design and I always hate that
The App experience just got worse and worse.

I deleted the app and now use Brave for YouTube watching on iOS. Clears most ads, and allows background playback if you full screen the video first.
That's a good point - it'd be interesting to see what percentage of railway is "navigable" by wildlife vs blocked - even in the mountains the railways often follow riverbeds or cuts alongside mountains.
Resemble AI | Toronto or Remote | Full-Time | Frontend Developer, Full Stack Developer, Business Development Lead, Sales Development Representative
Since HN is full of these posts, I guess we have to really try to get your attention. :)

> Finally your assertion of “this content should belong to everyone” is idealistic. Who is going to pay to store and stream this content? What about the copyright of the actual content creators?

That’s ironic because YouTube beat Viacom in 2013 because “this content should belong to everyone” not us so you can’t sue YouTube go sue the users.
8:45 pdt. was able to log in without problems.
The key is density. I live near a large coastal city and have 500Mbps-1Gbps fiber internet, my family lives in a very small town in the Midwest and can get a 50Mbps-300Mbps cable internet, but people who live in deep rural areas have limited options.
I consider my commute time part of work and deduct it from my contracted hours (8 to 6).
They've made a lot of efforts recently. Their new official website (quebec.ca) is clean, fast and straightforward and the new website for public healthcare (RAMQ) is nice but they still have a lot of improvements to do for administrative procedures. In february I had to renew my health insurance card: I had to call them to send me a paper form to fill and send back by post. Few weeks later they sent me a (paper) mail saying that my new card "will be coming shortly" and few days after I received my card.
It's just not "israel's most hyped initial coin offerings". "weird" may be a bad choice of word here. It's "newstainment" and it's the norm I guess.
Most political systems tend to converge into a two-party system.

I think the internet has made people more vocal but access to opposing and nuanced viewpoints has made a lot of people grey. I know that's the case for me, not sure if it encapsulates the majority.
From the article: "Around 15% of adult renters are not current on their housing payments"

I take this as a sign that something is very, very wrong with the economy.

Anytime there are literally millions of people in a country at danger of immediate eviction at the same time, there are probably a lot more problems in the economy than just that.

A moratorium on evictions is a band-aid on a gunshot wound. It simply masks the real problem until the patient collapses.

There are signs of financial bubbles, large unemployment, small businesses closing, even entire industries struggling. This isn't just another boom-bust cycle, but there is something larger at play.
Good thing that userChrome.css is still working, and one individual even took on the task of fixing this UI update while it was happening: https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix .
Maybe because saying "Adequate testing takes about a decade" is kinda BS - maybe in poster's opinion that's what "adequate" means. Realistically, the vaccine just has to be safer than getting Covid and it's long-term effects. Because we've seen in most Western nations that not getting Covid doesn't work in general.

> I will never trust US Health Authorities anymore

It's a shame some of their mistakes have eroded trust, and for what it's worth, I think easing masking requirements for vaccinated people was rash. But:

> then trying to covering up the lab leak hypothesis, and of course politicizing the vaccine release timeline, they have blood on their hands.

Come on. With all due respect, the lab leak hypothesis does not change the fact Covid exists now and we all have to deal with it, and I'm not even sure what "politicizing the vaccine release timeline" even means, or how a vaccine rollout better than Europe (so far) means they have blood on their hands. There is for sure some politics involved, which can be seen between the different approaches between the administrations. But that just points to factors outside health officials.

So what about other countries then? Are they equally untrustworthy? And with all the vaccinations given so far, the safety profile of some vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech) seems very good (compared to AZ, which is still not bad). At this point, data exists on the short term effects and blind trust is not necessary. On the long term, who knows? But you'd be in the same boat as millions of other people if there were wide-spread effects. If not, then it'd be like cancer or car accidents. Shit does sometimes happen, and often it's out of our control.
My capital one card has virtual cards, and I’ve seen it other places. The only issue is that it’s done by a browser add on that has incredibly high permissions. I handle it by using a separate Firefox profile for the rare occasions I need to use them. I start Firefox with that profile, use it, then go back into my normal profile.
> But you could hire devs in Western Europe at 50% of SV salaries

You could get that in Canada. No language barrier, same education, same culture (largely), same exact time zones, flying folks in if need be is far simpler.
In intelligence, the metadata around the messages are sometimes more important than the contents itself. Parallel reconstruction is absolutely a tool and often law enforcement can get what they need through other means. It's just another puzzle piece in an investigation.

For example:

who talks to whom

when a user comes online, is most active, and general traffic analysis patterns

what groups a user might be present in and how active they are

what are the type of contents of a specific message (image, text, video)

As other users have noted as well, it's unclear as to the data sharing agreements these large companies have with various government agencies. For example if an agency has data access to messages DB, what does end to end matter? End to end encryption usually means un-snoopable data in transit, not data at rest.
> Naturally I trust both of them more than so called SmartScreen because unlike Smartscreen, I can inspect their code.

> I got Winmerge binary directly from GitHub repo. As trusted as it gets, short of compiling myself.

So, you don't actually know what code you're running and that binary actually could be malware.
HTTPArchive's "State of the Web" report from a couple of years ago looked at over 6 million URLs and discovered the median size increased by 354% between 2010 and 2021, from 467KB to 2123.6KB. [1]

That isn't bad in itself.

More data to download could simply mean higher resolution images, or an increased use of video, or more JS functionality that the user has requested. Those can be useful things. The problem is if the sites aren't delivering any additional benefit to the user in return for that bandwidth. If it's things like tracking, ads, and pointless gimmicks then most people consider it wasted. That's what we need to look at. Not simply 'bigger is worse'.

That's the entire point of the article. It isn't a complaint about the size of websites. It's a complaint about the ratio of size to usefulness. News websites in particular are getting bigger, but they're not getting better.

Companies like Facebook have a very simple way to protest the current crypto laws. They could publicly announce they are going to disable any crypto for each and every politician and their family members when they vote or act against it.
Ghosting is bad for other reasons also.. Imagine one of your parents "ghosted" you. Would you feel rejected? Or would you think something bad must have happened, and break down their door assuming they must be in duress and need assistance?

That's an extreme example, but I was trying to point out that dropping off the face of the earth to avoid an uncomfortable interaction, and lead to a _much more_ uncomfortable and awkward interaction later.
