Convictional | https://convictional.com | Multiple Roles | Full-time | REMOTE (US & Canada)

Convictional is 34 people (and growing) working on building the B2B graph - a closed network of buyers and sellers of physical products. Today, that happens over a pre-internet data protocol called EDI. We're making it as easy as possible for companies (small and large, modern and legacy) to trade with each other, disrupting EDI and modernizing $5T/year worth of trade.

We are a fully distributed team with people located across Canada and the US. We encourage you to design your work schedule and environment so they’re optimal for you. We use email, not Slack and default to no internal meetings unless necessary. If you can develop and maintain features, enjoy challenges of reliability and scalability, and can be effective cross-functionally to deliver on commitments to customers, it's probably a fit. Our SWE hiring process is three hours of interviews in total within two weeks, plus a short eng challenge.

You steal the wallet, you own the house. You lose the wallet, you no longer own the house.
These all seem like useful changes, but I've never received spam over Signal. I'm glad that solves a problem for someone.

What I have received were creepy messages from long-lost acquaintances who had been suddenly reminded, by virtue of my having installed the Signal app, that I existed and that I was attending a security-focused event at the time.

And last I heard, Signal was adamantly opposed to removing these notifications. That's a big problem, IMHO.
Based on the blog post, and without knowledge of the underlying foam that they were trying to replicate, I would say that a crucial distinction here is that the first team was asked to create something new, which meant that many different inventions achieved by different paths were enough to get the job done.

The second team was asked to produce a much more precisely specified thing, which may only have been possible to make with one process.

So the two teams had different tasks, and the difference is not implicit vs process. It's many ways to many things, vs few ways to one thing. The latter problem sounds much harder to me.
I'm happy to be driving on the road with other human drivers and have them crash into me. As long as I can prove I was not at fault, I can expect fair compensation. It seems if robots crash into me, I cannot expect fair compensation because whoever programmed the robot can't be held accountable!
Your garage is not 150F, and certainly not for days at a time.
yeah this seems to be the most likely scenario. It sounds like the original poster's car was in the middle, tesla was at the end. OP's car suddenly breaks (or hits someone), tesla either does not react fast enough or starts reacting and then the tesla driver hits the gas pedal (meaning to break). Still not sure how they would be able to hit it twice if they hadn't backed up though.
Tesla batteries are only losing 10% of capacity after 200,000 miles:

The first several model years of the Model S were generally considered to be among the safest vehicles in the history of automobiles.

If an at-fault Tesla hits me, my legal beef is with the driver of that Tesla. They may in turn rely on insurance or on suing Tesla to recover damages from their own misunderstanding of the car’s abilities or improper marketing, but my beef remains with the driver of the at-fault vehicle.

Ampleforth is the most interesting 'stable coin' I've seen.
It's a strictly worse monetary system by any measure. It's massively more expensive to transact, it's unbelievably inefficient - requiring as much power as Thailand and generating as much e-waste as the Netherlands to scribble 2-3 tx/sec into a ledger. That's 60 days of power for the average US household and 1 iPad of e-waste per transaction. [1] [edit](97% of all mining hardware will be thrown away without ever winning a single block reward).

If adopted as an actual currency it would immediately lead to a deflationary spiral savaging the job market. [2] Even the dictator of El Salvador wasn't nuts enough to adopt it as an actual currency. All pricing continues to be in USD and exchanged for BTC at the point of sale - and the point of a gun. (Keep in mind legal tender laws in ES require everyone to accept your Bitcoin for purchases or you face criminal charges).

To call it wholly unfit for any purpose except exchanging for black tar heroin would be an understatement.

> what is the alternatives in the phone space for being cool?

Phones aren't cool anymore, and neither is the iPhone. If you think the iPhone is cool, let me introduce you to my incredibly cool 70+ year old parents who love anything that is bland.

Some things remain cool because they are fringe or have uniqueness and character. Somehow cars have managed to remain cool, but your average family sedan or SUV isn't cool, and that's where the iPhone is.

So are there cool android phones, no. Probably not. Are airpods cool, getting to be not so cool very quickly. iPads definitely aren't cool.

Having said all that, it doesn't mean that Apple needs to make the next cool thing to continue to be successful. Microsoft hasn't been cool for ages, and arguably never was, but Satya has found incredible growth opportunities.

Tesla is cool now, but it won't be in 20 years, but Musk will have an incredible business.

I guess part of the problem for Apple is that they always marketed themselves as "cool", but in my personal experience, none of the cool kids are Apple fanboys anymore, it's the ones who want to be seen as cool who are.
The solution to the first problem is the Joe Morris algorithm. I first came across it about 20 years ago and really struggled to visualize what was going on.

I doubt anyone will confuse Mango’s and Mongo’s. It’s clearly satire, even if it’s a real project.
I think and hope you meant sharding
Tether will collapse the same way that Squid Game Coin collapsed - extremely quickly.

Assuming a power distribution of coins across accounts, it's likely that 99% of tether accounts don't meet the 100,000 $USDT threshold to cash out. If you have a coin, where 99% of people/accounts aren't allowed to cash out that reeks of scam.

You can come up with tons of smoke to disguise it, and the whole "well you have to sell on another exchange, but prices there will be propped up due to 'arbitrage'" disguises and delays things nicely. But fundamentally it is propped up because people can't get out directly. There is no fair price discovery right now on Tether w.r.t. USD.
I had pine mouth about 20 years ago. I switched over to using walnuts in my pesto after that. But something in that video got me wondering: The guy talks about how they let the cones ferment for a couple of weeks before they extract the nuts - but then later on says something about not letting them ferment too long. I wonder if this is an Asian method of processing the cones that isn't done in other areas of the world and if the fermentation goes on too long will the nuts be effected and give one pine mouth?
I buy legal goods with them. Just because you don't _want_ to use them doesn't mean no one else does.

It is not a self-driving car unless you can have a sleep in it while it takes you where you need to go in my opinion. :)

Take a real self-driving car for example: a waymo taxi you are riding in rear-ends an other car. Do you think you will be responsible for it?

The moment you use Autopilot it's evident that it's basically a fancy cruise control. You're assuming some people would not interfere with Autopilot in any scenario. To think somehow people with that much lack of common sense exist is odd. It shows a massive level of disregard for those people's ability to perform basic functions.

There's a large subset of the talented people on HN that were wrong about crypto years ago-- they couldn't see that the casino and the innovation are, unfortunately, inseparable-- and many now cling to their original incorrect points of view, even as crypto is clearly changing the world like the internet did in the 90s and mobile in the 00s.

I have been full-time in crypto for years. I could write you a 10,000-word essay on crypto's promising use cases. But, I believe that you, and many others on HN, don't want to hear it.

That's too bad, because you guys grew up on sci-fi and rigor, and now you're ignoring that crypto is both rigorously successful and cypherpunk sci-fi come to life.

There is value in having a useful monetary system.

That ship sailed (multiple times) during the block size debacle for bitcoin, and there isn't nearly enough adoption with other cryptos to make them a useful payment system (aside from Monero if you're doing illegal activities)
Didn't intend any offense. But let me introduce more about myself, and tons of other adult piano beginners. You can see if you really care.

I care absolutely nothing about piano basics. I have a busy full-time job and tons of side projects so I have absolutely no patience for learning boring basics. I paid hundreds of buck for piano lessons in college but I ended up going to only two lessons (again - busy!). Yeah I know it would possibly develop bad habits, but as long as I can play pieces I like, why would I care? I just want the thing that would satisfy my short-term needs. I know that spending some time training my basics would make me a better player, but this boringness is going to let me give up on piano entirely.

Again, no offense intended - just trying to describe a unique persona. So no need to educate me on practicing the basics - I have had enough of those from many people...
I think the main problem here seems to be that the driver has put too much trust into Autopilot and what she needs to do is rather assuming it is as just another driver assistance feature and always be in control of her vehicle at all times.
Nearly every major manufacturer has a separate emergency stop system that continually looks for an obstacle in the vehicle's path and applies braking force, overriding the driver and any cruise control or self-driving that is in use.

These often use RADAR, have worked for years, and are routinely tested by international agencies such as the IIHS.

See, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJgUiZgX5rE

Teslas at least used to do this too:

https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/performance-of-pedestrian-c...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJJfn2tO5fo

If Teslas no longer have this functionality, is a serious problem that needs to be corrected. That could mean reprogramming existing cameras or adding a sensor if the system really did rely on the now-removed RADAR.
I think that we will just mentally adjust and adapt to the suffering.

If people in Bangladesh are losing their farms to flooding because of global warming, then voters in Kansas will simply... not care.

Lol! You haven't driven in Montana, have you? What I see in the latest youtube videos is an order of magnitude better than the average driver here.

Please don't break the site guidelines like this. If you have evidence of abuse, you should email it to hn@ycombinator.com so we can investigate. In the meantime, please stick to this rule: "Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken." Groundless speculation about manipulation is basically the most common weed growing on internet forums, it nearly always turns out to be a function of cognitive bias (e.g. people see posts they don't like and conclude that their enemies have the run of the place), and it makes for tedious, low-quality discussion.

For stocks though the market cap is judged against earnings typically. The price can never get too low or the shareholders can just force a dividend to make the money directly from the underlying equity.
My charitable read of the GP comment is that they are pointing out how ludicrous the stock increase is, but that's my reading. Side note, how much attention does your username usually garner you?
Tesla does the bare minimum when it comes to software QA on their autopilot. Looking at the codebase can tell you a few things:

- There are few, if any unit tests.
- No regression tests, no integration tests.
- CI is “something to aspire to have one day”
- Uses thousands of open source dependencies, many of which are updated randomly based on if a developer needs or wants to.
- No code review process.
- Lots of commented out code, dead code.
- No code linters or pre-commit process.
- About 5 different architectures due to in part constant churn on the team.

Anyone who allows the “Tesla autopilot” would think twice if they actually knew the quality of code that they are betting their lives on. It’s a dumpster fire.
> temporarily

I don't understand by what logic this sale is temporary? What mechanism can undo the sale?
I know anything Tesla gets some people too excited. But it should never be at the cost of being objective.
I think the point is that Tesla investors and customers don’t care about safety, either for the passengers or as an externality.
It has created a ton of jobs for instrumentation engineers and PhDs. It has also brought many economic benefits to Switzerland.
Ah - but the population of people-travel-days is also probably quite high, and while it doesn't impact a "whole population", it impacts a subset of the population frequently enough to be a comparable order of magnitude to the population as a whole.

(Potentially bad) back of envelope calculations follow:
1. The entire US population of 330 million is impacted by a 1 hour shift twice per year (of which one shift is probably more impactful than the other to sleep health).
2. On a typical year, there are about 1 billion airline passengers in the US alone (domestic plus inbound/outbound international). This counts everyone on a flight as one passenger. Let's assume that people take on average 2 legs in one day (probably a slightly high estimate). That's 500 million people, but we should halve that again since people have outbound and inbound trips. So we're down to 250 million people being impacted by travel.
3. Some of the travel is in the same time zone, but other travel spans many time zones (inbound international flights or transcontinental flights). We can call that a wash, though we could probably get to actual data if I weren't being lazy. I'd also argue that the travel is going to be much more disruptive to sleep schedules since in addition to the actual time zone shifts, travelers have to deal with early departures and late arrivals.
4. Many of the people who travel are being counted multiple times here, so we don't have a true collection of 250 million people impacted, but it's not clear that 1 person experiencing jet lag 10 times should only be counted once, since this is a recurring 1-2 day issue.
5. We're not orders of magnitude off here in terms of people-days impacted by normal travel vs the great DST debate.
Currently the whole Dai system is 215% collateralized. There's about $8 billion on loan and $17 billion in assets locked in the system.

I would assign a large probability that Autopilot wasn't even engaged and it's driver's fault.

Accidents with Tesla (many of those that make the press) are often caused by not being accustomed to the car's acceleration.

There is Chill mode that decreases max acceleration, but I wouldn't expect the driver who manages to get into 2 accidents with a same car to read a manual
Thank you, it was driving me crazy.

For the vast majority of use cases, the answer is no, though I'm certain someone will dig up an outlier use case or vaporware implementation of blockchain though.
