Email: anyfactor@gmail.com

Hi, HN. I go by anyfactor and I have been freelancing as a automation, data and python developer for more than 4 years now. But I think it is time for me to take the next step.

I have a passion of making sense from data. That is why I studied accounting in the first place, but my love for dealing with messy data and solving problems made me switch to doing programming.

I really love working with Python and Pandas and SQL and Tableau is something I am loving equally. And after a very long time it clicked that I enjoy the duties of the traditional roles of data analyst, data scientist, data engineering, backend development. Even if I am not fully equipped, I am goshdarn determined to scale up and adapt. I am capable of fulfilling the roles of jr. data analyst or that programming guy which every data science team needs.

I have been offered H1b visas before, but I am looking for someone to come along where I can showcase my value first by working with them remotely then relocate when I am seen as indispensable part of the team.

Even if you are not hiring for a full time remote role, I am always available for you as a freelance developer.
That video was good, and it's been a few months since I've seen it, but I remember being a bit unsatisfied about the point you mentioned. It seemed implied to me that Wendy's and other places use the same kind of Taylor machines and it was never really explained why they don't break. I understand the idea that McDonalds requires using the Taylor machine which creates some of an incentive against fixing it, but it wasn't clear to me if the other companies don't require their use as well (which would create the same incentive), and even if they don't it doesn't really explain what's different about those machines since clearly they are functioning a lot better.
They aren't removing https cloning.

Good Pair Days | Lead/Senior Software Engineer | Australia | REMOTE (AEST +- 2 hours) | https://www.goodpairdays.com

It's our mission at Good Pair Days to disrupt a powerful and entrenched industry and liberate the world of wine from the aloof, the exclusive, the confusing, and the pretentious. To open up the joy of wine discovery for the novices through to the aficionados, by reimagining what the wine retail experience can be for one of the oldest consumer products on earth.

To give you an idea, one of our first products is something we like to call "Spotify for Wine". We like to think of it as providing monthly wine adventures, customised to each member's unique tastes (powered by ML), delivered to their door. Where they can learn as much (or as little) about their wines each month as they like.

We've recently split our small product teams into a platform/experience/growth setup and are looking for a lead/senior engineer to work alongside the CTO and mentor the other 6-8 front-end and back-end developers.

Out stack (not a must): Python/Django, React, React Native, Postgres, AWS, Netlify.

You can email me directly ("beto" at our domain name specified above and the subject line as "From Hacker News | Remote | {your country}").

Please note, this is a full-time remote position within the AEST +- 2 hours limitation.
MEAL Team Six at it again I see
I use https solely for fetch, and ssh for push. Then the only credentials are the ssh keys. Does mean I need to edit the remote after fetching, but I'm pretty happy with that.
This it's why the right to repair movment it's important. Should be seen as an add-on to anti-trust laws, not only consumer rights.

When I saw the Harris video, I could only facepalm when I hear the "if any 3rd party (no matter the credentials) touch the machine, it can be dangerous for the consumer"... it's an ice cream machine for god sake, not a nuclear plant reactor core.

There are a lot of professionals out there that are able to give maintenance and service to those machines, with zero risks to the customer.
The C++ code is a model as well. Alexey Milovidov keeps things very clean.
U.S. DOJ Readying Google Antitrust Lawsuit over Ad-Tech Business
Oh, come on, there are plenty of reasonable solutions to both of those, such as:

1) If you need to set the price high to avoid that effect, just set it high.

2) Add an “edited” tag (just like HN does). For replies that and retweets that came in before the edit, maybe have an easy way to show the original version.

Or, 2b) Show the edited version literally as an edit, with the typos crossed out.

The evolution of WebRTC 1.0 (2017)
I see a lot of very promising ideas!

But frankly this is light years away form usable.

I wish that project luck and a lot of endurance.
>Yes, you can run the latest Linux. Linux now has native M1 support.

Lets not promise the moon here. The M1's Linux support is far from complete and definitely not ready for general use.
I generally don't take hard stands against people. I disagree a lot, but disagreement is par for the course.

If you think the solution to any problem in society is "standing people up against a wall", you are literally the problem. You are the violent jackboot that actively harms society and has no value to discourse. You are a bad person.

That you can do that against an entire class of people because of some shared characteristic is horrifying. You are made up of the same stuff of historical dictators who put people in furnaces.
I am a huge Gibson fan, but had no clue new rose hotel even had an adaptation. I thought Johnny Memnonic was the only one!

Thanks for the pointer.
I bought a third gen Kindle I think, ad supported, no keyboard, for $30. This year I was charging it while reading and got up and kicked the cord, causing the kindle to smash into my heel, breaking the display.

I was able to get the latest Paperwhite, trading in the old, broken Kindle, for $58. If it lasts as long as my old one (8 years) I'll be fine with that. I don't use it often, I keep a lot of reference and old books (like Raymond Chandler), I stopped buying Kindle books after three consecutive books were missing the last chapter or so.

The kindle windows conversion program (Kindle preview 3) will handle nearly everything that the "email yourself a book @kindle.com" won't, and for everything else there's calibre.

I had a book and a couple of palm pilots and other portable LCD screened things over a decade ago, and the kindle is the best for the price I get them at.
> If there is limited space, why shouldn't it be first come first serve?

Because it encourages squatting and low-value rent seeking from the first people to get there.
Triangulation isn't needed. Most phones have GPS chips already. If your phone is powered on, and with you, there is no difference between presenting an ID on the phone or physically. The carrier and (for most people) a bunch of apps on your phone already know your location and who you are. Data brokers have merged this information with your credit cards, vehicle registration, voting records, social media posts and tons of other information to create a digital twin. In fact, they probably already predicted you would be at the location you're worried about keeping private before you even arrived.

I don't care for moralizing. If you're not going to make a legal argument, I really couldn't care less. Companies aren't ethical; they obey laws. That's all they will do.

Often, ethics become law. If you care about this at all, figure out what laws you want and organize to pass them.
Everything is subjective.
Another case is to delimit alpha in color functions: rgb(255 0 0 / 50%) is valid for full red at 50% opacity.
> they contributed some of the billions in previously captured profits from their family wealth to get to an agreement

Not even that. They agreed to give 4.3 billion dollars over the next 9 years. Given how much net worth they have, over that 9 years they will earn that much, or more, in interest. They're just giving up the next 9 years of growth, they'll still be multi-billionaires.
I keep feeling like mcdonald’s just doesn’t need federal help to defend itself against a supplier.
Distros already have to deal with several build systems. Makefiles, Autotools, CMake, scons, waf, and yes meson. The fragmentation is not that bad. Especially since meson has seemed to push out autoconf more than anything else.
In the regulatory environment of 19th century Canada or 18/19th century Scotland, they could have.

And those places had very stable banking systems during that time. The Canadian experience is especially instructive when compared to its tightly (but fragmentedly) regulated neighbour in the south.

In any case, 'strict' but fixed regulations but shielding customers from consequences just leads to gaming of the regulations.

It's better to give customers (and other stakeholders) skin in the game, and reduce the regulation to perhaps a duty to disclose truthfully. Then customers can police their banks.
This looks like a great opportunity!
In the poster for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, it looks like the AI caught "time travel" and "phone booth" and tried to draw a whole bunch of TARDISes.
> Does Apple deserve a piece of the action for every instruction executed on iPhone?

"Deserve" is an entirely subjective question to which reasonable people can honestly disagree. To which reasonable people can express differences in degrees or in the margins.

The law (currently) says yes.

• If you write code that embeds or hooks directly into GPL libraries/APIs, then the FSF would insist that your creation inherits responsibilities under the GPL license and must be made available under a compatible license. In a sense, the open source community gets "a piece of the action".

• If you write code for distribution on a PlayStation, Sony would insist that you comply with the license terms associated with their developer agreement. Sony gets "a piece of the action".

• If you write code that relies on material supplied to you through the Apple developer agreement, if your app hooks directly into Apple iOS libraries/APIs, then Apple Inc says that distributing this software must be done in compliance with the license terms you agreed to under the Apple developer agreement.
My son likes the book series "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". This series sold more than 250 million books, and there were a few movies made after them. The author is without a doubt a billionaire. Should we execute him? Should we line up Dan Brown and J.K. Rowling next to him? Michael Jordan is obviously toast, but what's going to happen to Patrick Mahomes? He got a contract for half a bil, with endorsements and investments he's bound to cross the nine zeros one day. Should he be worried?
> The US can afford $4 billion in opioid relief efforts on its own

Exactly what I was thinking. Go after the Sacklers, relentlessly, as long as it takes, until they have nothing, and hopefully are in jail. The few billions of dollars coming out of this settlement aren't even a rounding error in the US federal budget, we can afford to just pay it ourselves. I'm happy to do that if it means putting the Sacklers behind bars, bankrupt.
And unusually, the press release/statement is not an exaggeration. SPARKS ripped so many pre-release movies that at some point they obviously scared themselves, and suddenly announced that they were going to stop for the studios' sake.
Cloudflare says Intel is not inside its next-gen servers
Danish study finds face masks provide limited protection to wearer (2020)
Yeah, it's not actually real.

The central bank can always just keep printing enough money to keep nominal GDP stable, if they want. No matter how much people want to save.
The author states that he wrote the android app, the firmware, the web prototype and then the rewrite of the web service - what about that suggests he has no technical skill?
The only "design" bottleneck is where the main thread has to read processed data from the other threads via a shared mem buffer and add it to any existing value in another shared mem buffer. Reading from the source buffer is sequential but the write to the destination is effectively random.
"Travel has grown difficult thanks to virus-related complexity..."

Too damn bad. Travel was the number one reason this virus was able to proliferate so quickly. That needs to get fixed; the next virus might not be so gentle.
But why so much to Apple?
Or they're already making money from the pirates. Case in point, some streaming services don't support linux and some Android devices because of Widevine DRM problems. So it creates the perverse situation in which (expensively) paid content is harder (impossible) to access vs the same pirated content.
Rivian | MLOps & DevOps engineer | Palo Alto (ONSITE or REMOTE)

https://grnh.se/25b640213us

We’re looking for MLOps and DevOps engineers to join us in building the software-defined, data-driven factory of the future. We love using modern tools tools like terraform, kubernetes, kubeflow, and dbt (to name a few) to automate our our workflows and allow data scientists to train, deploy and monitor models that make production decisions on the factory floor every single day. If this sounds interesting to you, head on over to https://grnh.se/25b640213us so we can get in touch.
The US govt doesn't need their billions for the settlement, it's pocket change for the feds. Justice is worth far, far more than a few billion.
Digital TV is where the content is sent as a digital video stream, rather than an analogue stream. This allows it to:

- make better use of the available bandwidth, allowing for more channels to be broadcast or less radio spectrum to be used

- offer multiple audio and video streams per channel, eg: surround sound support and translations into other languages

- better picture quality through higher resolution and the ability to recover from some transmission/reception errors

Commonly referred to as DVB (Digital Video Broadcast), it can be supplied over different bearers: terrestrial (DVB-T), satellite (DVB-S) and cable (DVB-C).

DVB is often combined with internet functionality into things like Hbb-TV, which allows for consumers to easily move between live broadcast channels and on-demand content supplied via an internet connection. Freeview in New Zealand uses Hbb-TV, and is broadcast over both terrestrial and satellite bearers, with on-demand video available for the major channels.

Cable TV may or may not be digital depending on the provider.
I haven't browsed the Brass Goggles forums since ~2009, but lives up to my nostalgia. Plenty of ideas for crafts / building steampunk stuff. http://brassgoggles.co.uk/forum/index.php

One particular project I remember discovering through here was an epic keyboard: https://steampunkworkshop.com/keyboard-shtml/
I’m trying to think of applications of designing industrial landscapes, and coming up short.

Sounds really interesting. Are you able to give any more insight into what you do exactly?
FDIC doesn't charge enough, and doesn't charge not differentiated enough. (No fixed regulation could charge the right amounts. You'd need competing private insurance companies to get a better approximation for that.)

Of course, even if the FDIC doesn't charge enough, you'd still have meetings about how to game the system so that your bank pays less. It's still a cost to the business.
> have a vested financial interest to not lose customers

This is just as satisfiable - if not more so - with slick marketing and platitudes than with actual security.
Same for Zappos.
Are you under the impression that Starlink's business model starts and ends with selling (early model) ground terminals?
>I think a lot of this is because our profession does not have an accepted universal bar everyone can jump over to be considered ‘qualified’.

Keeping aside the universal bar, even a firm/interviewer who interviews you will refuse to define a bar( and it's not too difficult to define one) or define a bar that is vague. Defining a bar will means that now they will have to come up with a really good reason to turn down a candidate. IMO they might as well as be honest and do the "culture" fit interview first and as an icing on the cake ask some simple technical questions, once they have settled for a candidate.

It's profession is filled will low status, low self esteem, insecure males, who bolster their ego by making the interview experience for the potential candidate as tough as possible. Not surprisingly the 'victims' (candidates) are also often the "victimizes" (interviewers).
The normal vector is the cross product of the two vectors.

u = [u1 u2 u3]
v = [v1 v2 v3]

in dimensions i, j, k

u x v = determinate of this matrix:

= | i j k|
|u1 u2 u3|
|v1 v2 v3|

= (u2v3-v2y3)i - (u1v3 - v1y3)j + (u1v2 - v2u2)k
Exercise - let a mcflurry stand for while. It separates into the gelatine and other stuff. Looks horrible.

I never had another one after I saw this.
So my mother oncologist also offered alternative medical treatments that were basically homeopathy. I think the truth is that it every cancer is curable. And if you are in a fatalistic situation like that it’s important to have something that modifies your outlook in addition to practical treatment. Otherwise you as a patient might simply give up.

To note my mother was also a doctor herself and worked on trauma cases (military) so she was well aware that homeopathy was just a way to provide hope in a fatal situation.
Not sure what the reader is supposed to get from this. I'm sure the situation was stressful beyond imagination. But the entire piece just seems overwhelmingly bitter. What can any external party really gain from this account? People fail to cooperate all over the world every day and it can be hard to understand from the outside what the root cause is or even if there is one. Perhaps this article was a useful exercise to the author, but I imagine it might have served better if it was kept private.
Cepheid Innovation Core | Multiple Software Positions | SF Bay (Sunnyvale) ONSITE, REMOTE possible | https://cepheid.com

Cepheid is a leader in the In Vitro Diagnostics space, we had the first EUA PCR COVID test approved last year. We are vertically integrated: from building our own plastic molds and injection molding cartridges for our instruments to designing the software, hardware and wetware for our instruments, there are many opprotunities to work with and on every level of this stack. The Innovation Core serves as a test bed for new technologies and ideas. The team listens to customers to develop Cepheid’s next generation technology. We operate much like a startup inside a large corporation with plenty of funding.

We are currently looking to add a DevOps-like role to our team. Key responsibilities involve developing and maintaining our cloud and physical infrastructure. We're looking for someomne with a passion for automating all the things. We're currently trying to figure out our data situation, and this role will be instrumental in that process as well.

Additionally, we have a few Data Science/Data Engineer positions open on another team that I can refer to.

If any of this sounds like an interesting opportunity, please reach out to me at iain.hartley@cepheid.com
Typically warning lights appear when the thing they warn about is impending, not that you've past the point.

Otherwise they would be useless, except for existential mockery.
Embarrassing. Obnoxious. Really hope the devs remove it.
I hate those shows with a burning passion my wife cant get enough of them.

I have however gotten her to watch "This Old House" which actually shows real remodeling and home repair as opposed to sledgehammer porn fallowed by contrived drama between the hosts finishing with a walk through of a staged house where they advertise tacky furniture and overpriced appliances.
Actually, they wouldn't be harmed, since nothing would change for them. And for everyone else, there would be less chance to engage in fraud.

You still haven't explained what the harm would be. Nobody who can get an education now would suddenly not be able to get one.

Interesting article regarding Virgin Galactic safety practices. I'm not sure about this comparison though?

> Branson’s Virgin Galactic, Elon Musk’s SpaceX, and Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin [...] profits depend on making frequent and safe human spaceflight a reality.

For SpaceX, their profits are largely driven by unmanned launches. Maybe the point was just to mention a better known company to the general public?
Where is that wealth now, I wonder if it's really all that secure. History has shown that ill-gotten wealth can be made transitory, if someone tries hard enough. Seen any Medici lately?
Hi Dropnerd,
I tweaked the algorithm to not match similar item but only images with almost exact content. Give it a try.
That's true.

I think the competition to create smarter products is across the board though. Once a product category has chips, it can be made smarter than the competitors. So its game on at every level of manufacturing.

"Smarter" not necessarily meaning AI, but can be AI.
It wasn't snark, I misused the term.
That's not what Bezos is complaining about though.
idk to me salary determines the level. you can't really "down level" when you get paid more. titles doesn't matter. I know for a fact a lot of people with "manager" are paid significantly less than me with my bland title, but it lets everyone sleep at night so all is well.
