Verdn | Full Stack / Backend Engineers | ONSITE | London, UK | Full-Time | https://verdn.com

Verdn is creating the environmental API of the future by allowing companies to embed pledges (tree planting, ocean-bound plastic cleanup) onto any of their transactions, which their end-customers can track for themselves.

We've raised pre-seed and are looking to hire our first two engineers who will have a huge impact on our product and the company itself. Our office is in central London and want it to be on-site-first, but are open to exploring hybrid roles.

Our tech-stack: React on the frontend, Node.js + Firebase on the backend.

You can read more about us / our roles here: https://verdn.notion.site/Verdn-Careers-890f0ca2d4424fd6a228...

If you want to join us (and want to ⌘+Z global ecosystem collapse) send an email to me — rory (at) verdn (dot) com — introducing yourself and attaching your resume.

Doesn't the UK _not_ have ID cards?
So if you lose your phone you can never get a replacement ID?

Or is the 2FA not worth the paper it isn't printed on when it comes to replacements, and you're back to the same level of proof you need for a driving license or passport.
Sure, but you could also say 'all that's needed' is an appropriately rated multimeter, no need for a 'Spannungsprüfer' (I don't speak German btw!).

Those neon/LED drivers (non-(intended)-contact) are in basically every 'dad toolbox' and 'man drawer', a VDE 1000v rated one just seems appealing/like it'd sell well, even if sure, people who actually need that (or should be doing things that do) have better tools for it.
really the thing that makes traditional payments slow is chargebacks
Yes, you are right. I was not talking about switching to x86-64, but the fact that most code on 64 bit platforms still uses 32 bit integers and that you'll have to recompile to get 64 bit ints.

This shows up sometimes also in numerical programming, e.g. when your meshing ends up producing more than ~4.2 billion grid points. But it is quite rare, precisely because UINT32_MAX is a fairly huge number.

Full-stack web developer with two years experience building web apps as a part of a small, fast-paced team. I'm strongest in backend, but able to work on any level of the stack. I am looking for a position with opportunities to learn and grow as a software developer. I especially value access to mentorship and clear lines of communication. Tech stack is less important to me, I am always excited to learn something new. Thank you.
Doing well in crash tests means the car does well in those specific scenarios, but may not mean much about other safety issues.
Market cap for publicly traded corporations is still a good measure of value since there are laws, regulations, public disclosures, etc. ensuring they're equally measured to a degree.

If I paid $50000 for a cowry shell and said the market cap of cowry shells is more than MasterCard then there's a few problems...

I've not had this problem with iMessage really. Are you SURE its not possible to block out bad actors on messaging?
Elon Musk is now worth $335B
This is so tremendously NOT a case of personal responsibility. A large portion of our economy attempts to rely on the belief of: "you said it would do x, it must do x".

You bought a car, it promised functionality, it did not deliver and endangered another human/their property.

This is the fault of the manufacturer.

Here are some examples of non-autonomous driving cases where the manufacturer made a false promise:
Volvo lawsuit: https://www.motorbiscuit.com/volvo-owners-seeking-class-acti...

Toyota recall after lawsuit https://www.industryweek.com/the-economy/article/21959153/to...

Chevy lawsuit: https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-pro...

It is my sincere hope that we can enjoy Elon's persona without just letting Tesla off the hook of being a car company. Or really, a company.
Recently I was driving behind a Tesla and it suddenly started braking for no reason at all, I almost rear-ended it. I think it had something to do with the sun reflecting on the road surface brightly because I noticed this reflection just as I was driving past where the car suddenly started braking.
Everything is already under control of three companies world wide. Vanguard, Blackrock and Berkshire Hathaway own everything worth owning. Who owns them?
They do report if the camera can't get a good image. Glare from the sun is the most common reason. It is certainly possible that there is a window between when vision is degraded enough to be dangerous and when it alerts the driver, but a single occurrence isn't proof of a widescale problem. That is the type of thing that should be investigated in more depth, but it is hard to get anyone to care when it is only a theory that isn't even yet connected to a single accident.
Ask HN: Any pragmatic guides to building large data pipelines?
I am rebuilding a data pipeline that processes billions of records. An overview of what I built is as follows:

collect data from (n*k) sources-> derive new data -> generate a unified/merged collection of data (n) data.

The current solution is all hand crafted code.

I know this is a 10,000 foot view of the problem, but are there any guides or books on how to better design and implement this type of solution?
The point wasn't typing speed, the NLS workstations had full keyboards for bulk typing. Where NLS combined with the chording shined was in editing and presentation (look at what they showed in the demo), and the NLS command set design facilitated that.

What I think Engelbart understandably missed is that 1) we are all beginners sometime and 2) we no longer sit in only one app all day so the time efficiency amortization benefit he expected is a bit worse. GUI standards claw back some of the efficiency loss (remember pre CUA?) but don't take you to the levels he was shooting for.
Unfortunately, killing hundreds of millions of starving people can be done very easily -- much more easily than solving the underlying problem. The areas that become uninhabitable will then not be able to produce more starving people, so such an atrocity need only be carried out once.

The worst part is, once the killing starts, people will rationalise it to themselves, saying "We didn't have a choice".
Either that’s new or I’m just a loud bozo. Thanks for sharing!

No kidding - what garbage that was. That said, I think they were able to pump mobilecoin (as a nonprofit!) to something like 6x before the dumps came.

After that I was gone.
I think he's referring to the naive idea that stock prices in general are somehow influenced by what a company is doing and are not pure speculation.

CuML is similar to Intel Extension for Scikit-Learn in function?
https://github.com/rapidsai/cuml

> cuML is a suite of libraries that implement machine learning algorithms and mathematical primitives functions that share compatible APIs with other RAPIDS projects. cuML enables data scientists, researchers, and software engineers to run traditional tabular ML tasks on GPUs without going into the details of CUDA programming. In most cases, cuML's Python API matches the API from scikit-learn. For large datasets, these GPU-based implementations can complete 10-50x faster than their CPU equivalents. For details on performance, see the cuML Benchmarks Notebook.

That's only one part of the struggle that was mentioned. Even when using the migration feature, the comment reported it not working, and needing to manually transfer the backup file.
In the U.S., DST runs from March to November, just shy of 2/3 of the year.

Let's not fool ourselves anymore. DST is de facto standard time.

It's Winter Time (Daylight Wasting Time) that needs to go.
As a recent convert to minimal dynamic partitioning window managers I do miss the Z axis to multiple desktops that widgets provided. As well as my home-grown widgets, lovingly coded.

I'm not an expert on New Jersey, but there are signs everywhere for "Twps" which I guess are "townships". I'm guessing probably a lot of people live in them.

In New York State, a "town" seems to be not exactly a town, like a stereotypical "small town".

I've lived here most of my life and never really realized, but according to Wikipedia, a "town" in NY is more or less the equivalent to a "township" and within it are "villages".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_Ne...

"every piece of land in the State is part of a city or town, which, with the exception of the city of Geneva, is part of one and only one county. Not every piece is in a village or city. A village is part of a town; cities are not part of towns, but have the powers of towns. A village can be a part of more than one town. A village cannot be part of a city."

So more like a division of a county that's not part of a city than an actual town.

And where this is going, is that I think this is where a lot of people live, rather than cities per se.

An administrative division, where a lot of people live, that's neither a city nor a village, but has water and sewer and so on, sounds to me like almost a definition of suburbs.
Working on a security startup. Learning way too many things about security that as an engineer I had no idea of. Lots of great companies working on security and if you are interested you should certainly check out companies like SNYK's new stuff, gitlab security etc.

> The driver said she was using Autopilot, that an OTA update had had a problem earlier in the day, and that she had actually had the same kind of collision on Autopilot previously!

She had the same type of high speed collision in the past and continues to keep relying on Autopilot so heavily to cause yet another collision? I mean is the average high collision rate for Tesla drivers close to 2? Or is it just this driver?
Indeed mine certainly is not, but apparently the parent commenter's routinely reaches 150F.

To stretch the metaphor further, I don't think it's fair to say Tesla makes it clear. Or better, it's not all the story.

People would be less upset with the drunk driver and more with the beer manufacture if they had been imbibing "alcohol free beer" which actually was not alcohol free.
When you’re going to sell low numbers of units you gotta make it up in cost.
I recently moved phones and had the opposite experience. The Signal migration went very smoothly. Moving WhatsApp did not. I ended up managing to do it but not before about five attempts, each of which made me reauth my phone number and I hit rate limiting, etc.
> Yes, and that point is most likely SAE level 5

Hard disagree.

This is the same as identity theft, where it becomes your responsibility instead of a failure on the part of the bank to protect your account, and the burden gets shifted entirely onto the consumer.

Relevant Michell and Webb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9ptA3Ya9E

If Tesla sells a SAE Level 2 lane following / accident avoidance feature which should be able to stop and avoid rear end collisions, yet it causes rear end collisions, they must be liable for that failure. They can't just write words and shift all liability onto the consumer for the software failing to work properly. Nice try though.

And I don't care if the consumer technically agreed to that. If someone smacks into me with Autopilot enabled, I never consented to that technology and didn't give up my rights to sue Tesla.
This article doesn't mention the word "tax".
I slowed down gradually and was already stopped at the red light with 2 cars in front of me when the Tesla plowed into my car.
The article wasn’t about Messenger Kids though. If you click through to the actual slide deck that was leaked it shows that the current status quo is that Messenger Kids is the only product in the portfolio that is available for kids. The future state they envision is one in which all their products are available to kids, but tailored for those users. So that means IG and FB.

I’m a parent of a 9 year old and 7 year old. My 9 yo has Messenger Kids. I agree it’s a pretty well designed app. But it’s just messaging (and some games). It’s like the telephone. I don’t mind that. But IG and FB are different things entirely. My concern isn’t that my kid can chat with his friends. It’s in the compare and despair, the constant posting of fake versions of your perfect life to make others feel jealous, and the algorithmic promotion of outrage (sorry, I mean high engagement) content.
The intro scenario is actually a pretty accurate representation of what it’s like to try to be a professional musician or composer. Hardly anyone succeeds; most have to work at a nonmusical day job, and many of those who do succeed in supporting themselves as musicians end up in studio or backing roles with little creativity.
Its network doesn't create value, it extracts value. $60M per day, $21B per year.

> The fact it can't be debased as easily as fiat currencies is not a tangible thing but it does compel interest in it.

That is not a benefit to a currency, quite the opposite. A deflationary currency would likely lead to a deflationary spiral, savaging the job market [1]

It also leads to a monetary system that cannot adjust to a changing population or to transient issues such as COVID. If BTC were the currency of record in 2020, the economy would likely have been utterly devastated.

When signing/transferring over the title deed, aren't all parties involved supposed to be physically present in front of a lawyer/notary?

Me thinks due diligence by all members involved in this transaction was severely lacking and they should be held accountable. I.e. Real Estate agent, bank, brokers, what have you. One could even say they all conspired in this property theft.

Alternatively, perhaps the victim was lacking some sort of documentation that allowed the illicit procurement to occur?
What's the primary use case for this? I'd imagine it's pretty difficult to scale. How would it compare to something like FDB's document layer (which supports most of Mongo's wire protocol)? https://foundationdb.github.io/fdb-document-layer/known-diff...

As a holder of crypto, you are both a customer and an owner.

You pay a fee for each transaction you send, just like any other service. b

However, your holdings increase in value the more other people use the same chain because the value of the entire ecosystem needs to scale proportionally to the value people are attempting to transact across it.

Financial systems, like social networks, and most businesses coming out of SV rely on network effects for much of their value.

USD has been the default option for the world, and enforced through violence when people attempt to create their own networks of trade.

The positive sum value that cryptocurrency is attempting to create is the ability to send anyone in the world any amount of value (money or otherwise) not subject to government permission, or sabotage (ie money printing)

It's like any one being able to suggest a Federal Reserve policy, and the vote being handled by the people, not representatives or a committee.

It is revolutionarily democratic.
That doesn't seem to say the landlord can only evict if they themselves are going to personally reside there.

The listed causes for eviction all seem fairly typical - like non-payment.
Unless the destruction process is thoroughly documented so following up the mandatory requirements will ensure the hardware is totaled and whatever remains of it is beyond repair, there are always some chances it would be disposed of in a less than irreparable manner, and someone would just recover it and sell for profit.

It doesn't require malicious intent, just negligence, ignorance, lack of awareness and/or poorly worded instructions.

Thanks for that link. I've been long on BTC since the beginning, and I fully love the concept of crypto.

But busy with work (and I sold my startup 2 years ago) I went completely dark on the Crypto world. Now I'm trying to catch up with it and both DeFi and everything Layer 2 seem to be the future.

Do you have any other resources to recommend?
It looks to me like it's a per contact switch, so I think that's what you want, yea :)
They can. But overwhelmingly, they do not. It's much cheaper to extract hydrogen from fossil fuels and that's not likely to change any time soon.
Do you really? Or does your binance/coinbase debit card convert your crypto to USD and send dollars out via ACH?

There was another thing in that space aswell https://www.torodb.com
Nothing of course. But follow that string a little further.

So you do some thing which once a day scrapes a site and pulls off some data that you use in your thing. Maybe you talk about it to friends, or you have this thing as one of your github repositories. Some of your friends download the repository and also start using your thing. They talk to people about how cool your thing is, or what it does and the nice convenience of automating something that you used to have to do manually.

There are 86,400 seconds in a 24 hour period, probably folks won't change your code at all at first, and as it diffuses into the community some webmaster starts seeing this weird spike of queries that happen once a day at some time. Different addresses but always the same kind of request.

It's not a problem when its like 10 or 20 qps burst but when it starts getting up to 100 - 200 or worse 1000 - 2000, it causes the system to perhaps spin up additional instances that it isn't going to need after the burst and waste money. So the webmaster starts denying those requests with a 404.

Now sometimes your code works and sometimes it doesn't but you don't know that the webmaster is fighting you yet. Maybe eventually you start randomly varying the request time, or the people who have copied your thing are in more varied time zones so you it starts getting spread over the day.

now the webmaster is seeing bursts of traffic nearly every hour on the hour and that is weird so a more aggressive mitigation strategy is enacted.

People using your thing complain that it keeps breaking so you look into it and realize that the site is trying to block your requests. Perhaps you don't understand why this is, or perhaps you do and don't care, either way you come up with some strategies that avoid the block (maybe your rotate the user-agent or something).

Now the query traffic is spiking again and the webmaster is getting complaints that this 'bot traffic' is resulting in useless AWS fees because it isn't part of the revenue traffic and it is forcing the service to add more resources for their customers.

Not all scrapers are malicious, but my experience is that it is rare that a non-malicious scraper application isn't talked about and shared (amongst people who have a similar itch that the thing is scratching) and because its all open source it spreads around.

The stock market won't collapse in the same way because stocks have earnings and dividends (which is what the value is largely based upon).

Sure: securities can go up, or down, in price almost arbitrarily. But they largely can't go below zero (aka: bankruptcy law protects against that), and they can't really go below the expected profits of the company (because shareholders are entitled to those profits. Worst-comes-to-worst, the shareholders can demand dividends and cash out through those means)

A lot of companies are 20x or 30x, or more of their expected profits (representing maybe 20 years of profits is roughly the fair price for a typical company's stock price). There are exceptions, especially in growth stage companies (where "profits" is now "expected profits" of the far future: the shareholders believe the company is onto a good idea and are willing to pay more on the hopes that the company becomes very large in the future).
