Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) | Senior/Principal Software Engineers | Remote (US) or On-Site (Austin, TX) | Full-Time

Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure team is building new Infrastructure-as-a-Service technologies that operate at high scale in a broadly distributed multi-tenant cloud environment. Our customers run their businesses on our cloud, and our mission is to provide them with best in class compute, storage, networking, database, security, and an ever expanding set of foundational cloud-based services.

I am looking for seasoned engineers to help build one of the foundational pieces of the cloud -- the Virtual Machine. We develop the virtualization stack to support customer features, build against the latest and greatest computer hardware, manage a large-scale hypervisor fleet, and automate regional expansion. The problems we work on are both fun and challenging: anything from low-level data plane features (operating system concepts, virtualization, advanced hardware) to higher level services which support the core of OCI's Compute product.

Well, the ones they polled anyway. Who knows what the methodology of this was like.
Just glancing at my menu bar for any that might be less known...

Jettison is great for ejecting and optionally remounting external disks when you put the Mac in and out of sleep.

Turbo Boost Switcher is useful for getting the Mac to run cooler and prolong battery life. Mine is nearly always plugged in at my office, so I use it when I don't want the fan to get loud (like when recording with a microphone).

I'm not sure if BetterTouchTool qualifies as "less known", but it's really useful. I use it to launch new iTerm windows and various apps on the f16..f19 keys on the Magic Keyboard. I also use it to extend other applications with macros. It would be great if Obsidian had Emmet-like facilities to expand abbreviations, so you can set up BetterTouchTool to expand expressions like "h4" followed by the tab key into "####". Things like that really speed up markdown entry.

Do you mind me asking what the tech stack is for this? I love how smooth it is and that the search is instant, but using the BuiltWith Firefox add-on doesn't show me any framework or technology that would do that apart from PHP/JS. Is it pure AJAX?
I use masto.host for managed hosting of my personal instance.[0] I've had a good experience so far, but I get the impression that I'm missing out on a lot of the user discoverability features of being on a bigger instance.

My only gripe is that the website doesn't support exporting your data so that you're okay if masto.host disappears, but I request a backup via email once a month and they put it in my Megadrop within a day.

Your statement on the intelligence agencies is incorrect. You need oxen to run the nodes not dollars, and obtaining oxen has an exponential cost due to market forces.

If you want to run 1 node you can obtain the oxen pretty easily. If you want to obtain enough oxen to control 50% of the network you will need to buy more oxen than is in existence.
How about `using std::find_if`?

Calibration Statistics: Accuracy vs. Precision
Also during the last housing crisis. Banks were going under and people were scrambling to yank their cash out.

I still remember the lines at the WaMu branches, it was insane.

That was also the 1st time I heard of FDIC insurance caps. A lot of people lost a lot of money over that if I remember correctly.
That study you linked isn't relevant to my point. The question is whether the initial viral dose at the point of infection is correlated with symptom severity later in the disease course. That remains unknown. The study looked at the relation between current viral load and symptoms after infection, which is an entirely separate issue.
This may be true, but I'm not sure returning to the automotive safety record of the 10s[1] and the 40s is necessarily the way to go.

Instead, it may be good to remind him that continental europeans drove trucks right before Brexit, and that if he absolutely insists that only Brits should be doing those jobs, that raising wages[2] tend to attract more employees.

Or, alternatively, he could always mobilize the army to drive trucks, rather than guarding petrol stations.

[1] Allright, allright, I suppose the immortal queen may not have been driving trucks in that war.

[2] By more than a pittance.
That's a good post. Heck, our new woke overlords should just put all their SV-billions together in one giant piggy bank and start paying some reparations instead of terrorizing everyone with this political-correctness facade. Now that would be VCs making the world a better place. <3

No, no "my side" about it. This is simple, objective fact. The American right spreads lies, constantly, every day. Tons of them. Lie after lie. They are not shy about it.

There is no "both sides". There is no equivalence. There just isn't.
I think permissionless-ness is something developers and businesses will come to value greatly. Only certain technologies on the blockchain help with privacy, and most debatable make it easier to track your activity, if the user doesn't want to make the process convoluted for the explicit sake of their privacy.

Blockchain might also be attractive to users who are not developers, but are computer power users, since they can effectively rent their computer for extra money, and provide a valuable service (That they hopefully personally support) in the process.

Ok I'll bite: in your opinion what is the absolute best application you associate with the web3 keyword, and is a clear unquestionable selling point?

> The big fundamental is it allows for platforms to share equity with their users.

What leads you to believe that equity sharing is not possible right now without resorting to web3 buzzwords? I mean, the only reason that stops platforms from sharing equity with anyone at all is the fact that platform owners do not want that. That is a business model consequence, not a technology limitation.

> The problem is it has no single protocol.

I don't know if you even noticed that you haven't described a single problem at all, at least one that people care about. You only talked about crypto as a solution to a problem than no one has.

And the reason why no one shares equity is quite simple: no one wants to, because the ones that do never felt blocked at all.

> 1999 was 22 years ago!

It sure was. Back then, a mule pulled my car. We didn't have rubber tires, I'd take the wheels to the wheelwright's shop and have a new iron rim put on now and then. On the weekends I'd go varmint hunting with my trusty flintlock.
you can lock directories, you can atomically swap directories (on linux), CoW filesystems make cloning kind of cheap. That could be used to implement transactions and commits.
Getting the consistency checks/conflict detection during the commit right would be the most difficult part. Change notifications could be used to do some of that proactively.
It's a terrible idea, but it could be done.
That's hilarious -- I worked on Zynga's analytics system in the early days, and we made it (hopefully) very easy to instrument code and get up and running. We created patient zero I guess.
There’s at least an asset underlying Tesla - a reason it could go up and stay up. It may be overvalued, but that’s the risk some people are taking.

> Ultimately, the problem lies in treating climate change as something that still needs to be proven.

Proof, or as close as science ever comes to that, isn't the issue. It's science communication that's the issue. New people are being born all the time and no one is born knowing climate science proofs, some people don't care until it hurts them, some people are naturally contrarian, there are opposing special interest groups etc. Because of this it's vital that the science is proven again and again, and any appearance of hypocrisy, being politically driven, and outright alarmism (i.e. crying wolf) is eliminated as much as possible. If scientifically settled proofs aren't demonstrated again and again then pretty soon regardless of how true they are we'll end up with an expanding contrarian movement. The global warming issue is a master class on how to grow a contrarian movement despite excellent evidence in support of it!
Tom Stevenson on the end of the World Bank’s Doing Business reports
I got my license in Germany in 1985 so I can drive a truck up to 7.5t with my license. If I remember correctly I could also add a trailer as long as the total weight is below 12t. That's real tonnes, not US tonnes so add another 10%. Seems totally insane to me and I never took advantage of it, largest was 3.5t rental truck. Here in the US larger pickup trucks are maybe 5 or 6 tons. A F350 dually gets close, though.
Yep. It's really gone down hill here on these topics lately.
I have a strong technical background and a passion for digital safety and privacy. Especially interested in trust & safety, privacy engineering, human-centered design, tech policy, and open source software. Looking for an internship or fellowship adjacent to trust & safety or privacy engineering.

Some of the projects I’m most proud of are Shynet [0], PrivacySpy [1], PolitiTweet [2], and a17t [3]. I co-instruct CS 106S [4] at Stanford, and I worked on cyber policy for a 2020 presidential campaign. I also work at the Stanford Internet Observatory on both research and technical infrastructure.

Yeah I agree, and that's why I'm generally skeptical of any smart contract ideas that have to interface with real life (supply chains, land registry, and so on). I think they make more sense when they are concerned with things entirely contained within the blockchain, like swapping tokens or mapping names to addresses. Frustratingly enough, it's the former type ("let's put cows on the blockchain") that seem to get the most mainstream attention.
> accusations of conspiracy theories are used exclusively

Exclusively? Really? Like there are no actual crazy or malign conspiracy theories out there? Literally none?

> This qualifer that the goal of a conspiracy has to be nefarious is ridiculous

I very specifically said "generally nefarious" to indicate that nefariousness was non-essential. The essential parts (as you'll find in a dictionary) are "operating together" and "hidden" and you already conceded on those. Your original key claim ("to be a conspiracy theorist...") was clearly ridiculous, and you even seem to have admitted as much. What's the point of quibbling about non-essential and secondary parts?

> conspired to intercept the private communications

Nice red herring you've got there. Be a shame if anyone thought you were avoiding actual productive discourse by resorting to it.

> You can't just use the epithet as a synonym for inferior and outgroup and expect people to treat it as a serious argument.

Never did. Is that a strawman, or attributing motive, or both?

You've dug yourself a nice deep hole of bad faith here. Either start climbing out of it, or at least stop digging.

No matter how you twist and turn it, the vaccines are significantly less effective in the people who need it the most, to the point where a significant amount of deaths, in both absolue and relative terms, occur in the fully vaccinated. That means better options for treatment are still needed. That is the point I am making, nothing else.

Ok gang, high quality problem time for Friday afternoon

I spent >12 years building a company with 2 other co-founders and a lot of investor money

We just wrapped up a year long process of getting acquired for unicorn $$$

I have a two year earn out that is heavily backend weighted, eg about 75% of my total compensation will be in the last year.

The money is "guaranteed" but I am responsible for showing up, driving the company integration, etc

Here's the rub - I just got finished with my first month of DD, lawyers, compliance meetings, etc.

It's clear that the next two years of my life are going to be captive to corporate bull@#!t, bizarre power grabs, etc - all the stuff I've spent my life avoiding like the plague by being an entrepreneur

Integration to the acquirer meant "fitting a square peg into a round hole"

I went into this with open eyes, but it is exhausting and demoralizing

I am grateful for the opportunity, I am also old, tired, and ready for a break not two more years of toeing the line :)

What have others done in similar situations?

I don't think this is the pareto principle. Its a rule of probabilities, i.e 1-X.
