Yes they should pay themselves market rates (for their skillset, eg if they could get 200k as a dev). The founder's bargain is not a great one otherwise, you are getting a relatively small budget to pull off a miracle with a performance incentive that has a small chance of being very good. If you were doing something similar in an internal role, you would probably have more budget and safety net, and have to work less.

Not to imply it isn't worth it, but a lot of the time, especially with single digit millions funding rounds, it's a ton of work and personal responsibility for not that much money or budget (lots of managers would control way more). VCs are getting a good deal if they think you're going to work for anything materially below market.

Lula | Various roles | Miami, FL (HQ) or REMOTE | Full-Time | https://lula.is

Lula is growing! We are a Series A, VC-backed insurtech startup based in Miami, FL, US rethinking how insurance is priced, sold and managed to align with modern asset utilization (ride-sharing, AirBnB, micromobility). We identify as a tech company firstly (and secondly) and insurance company thirdly. Our ultimate goal is to “upgrade the pipes” of the insurance industry so that companies can integrate insurance into their business as easily as they integrate payment processing. We are backed by Founder’s Fund, Khosla Ventures and Softbank.

On the tech side, we’re a small but mighty team and looking to grow. We value domain driven design principles, strong DevOps culture, roadmaps over backlogs. Our tech stack consists of F# microservices deployed on GKE using EventStore DB or Postgres for non-event sourced services, and Vue for frontend.

Our interview process is about 4 hours total consisting of intro call, tech screen, 2 calls with team members, and finally a call with one of our founders. We try to move fast and give feedback in the case we don't move forward with an offer.

We are currently hiring for the following roles:

* Quality Engineers (aka Software Development Engineers in Test)
* Staff Data Engineer (some tools we're considering: Rudderstack, DBT, BigQuery, FiveTran, Census, Kubeflow)
* Analytics Engineer
* Senior/Staff Software Engineers
* Senior Frontend Engineer
* Other non-technical roles

Ask HN: Do you have Russian stockholders?
Hello HN,

I was wondering if any of the start-ups that we are looking at have Russian stockholders or whether they have accepted funds that are indirectly sourced from Russia or through the various oligarchs.

If so, do you have plans on dealing with this or will you wait until the government acts, and if so what kind of action do you anticipate?

Implementation details at layer 1 and 2 of the OSI model. If machine aa needs to talk to machine zz (and there are all the machine in between them), then aa needs a timeslice to change the electrical levels that are on the actual ethernet cable, as does zz in order to reply, but if ab and ac and ad and all the way to zy are also busy communicating, then when does zz get that timeslice? Switching (vs hubs) improves the situation drastically, but as you scale up (like, thousands of thousands aka "webscale", there's clearly going to be some sort of limit at some point (until you apply other technology). What is that point using Ethernet though, and how do you calculate that?

"Heroin" in the US is essentially almost entirely fentanyl analogues these days. The only safe way to dose fentanyl analogues is volumetric - which is not how the vast majority of drug users use opiods (or really any drugs). Otherwise, fentanyl is extremely likely over continued use to result in a user using more than intended. This, combined with polydrug use complications, has been driving the increased opiod death rate.

Legal drugs could ensure users are getting what they actually want. See: DULF providing chemically pure diacetylmorphine, cocaine, methamphetamine in Vancouver.
>The Russian demand of a neutral Ukraine outside of NATO is not unreasonable.

Ukraine is not Russia's vassal. The ones who get to decide what alliances Ukraine is part of are the Ukrainians. Any "demand" on that question on the part of another nation is unreasonable on its face.
that's pretty interesting. Reminds me of this statement a coworker of mine said when the California wildfires returned last year. He shared with us that up in Oregon, the state he recently moved to, they recruit a ton of volunteers and local men to go to town on any fire that pops up and take care of business so things don't get out of control. That's a very different response from California where I think everyone waits for the officials to take care of it as far as I can see.
If the passwords are being used by some automated service this is probably fine, at least modulo the quality of the service implementation.

If they're for actual humans, even in the best case you're vulnerable to phishing, also you are a perpetual risk because you know these passwords (or a password equivalent) so an adversary might steal your passwords (e.g. from a backup, logs, test systems, ...) and now they can impersonate all users.

It's almost certainly safer than letting users pick their own passwords, but it's less protected than, say, a Google user who set up 2-step, and much less than if they went with Advanced Protection and thus can't get phished or impersonated.

Why do you believe this to be the case?

It seems like a lot of your pessimism is due to the fact that you think we would have to dramatically cut our standard of living if we don’t find technological solutions. I don’t believe this has basis.
By transcript, I mean every command and every response in the debug session. Usually, in the beginning, I do not know yet what I'm looking for, and set breakpoints at points that may be interesting, and when I reach the breakpoints, I look at variables. Later, when I reach the point where things have gone wrong, I can look at variable values now, but also at the result of every previous query. This helps me answer questions like: was this object here already in that queue over there when the previous request came in?

I can also attach the debug session to an issue in order for others or future me to understand what was happening then. In a purely GUI-driven debugger, I can copy&paste a stack trace of the final point, but the history is lost.

More options for safe use and quality control. And the really potent drugs are preferred under prohibition because they are smuggled more easily, but they are easy to screw up and kill people with.

This would be necessarily centralized if any of those goods are physical, or services physically rendered. If it excludes all physical nexuses, e.g. an in-game currency, one could do away with that centralisation, but it's no longer stable in any meaningful sense.

Iris Construction | Design Lead & Full-Stack/Mobile Engineer | Salt Lake City, Utah | Full-time

Construction – a $10T/year industry – loses hundreds of billions of dollars a year due to poor communication. Other industries have enjoyed meaningful productivity gains over the last 20 years thanks to innovations like Slack and Salesforce, but productivity in construction has been flat. Project managers are stuck with frustrating, messy workflows based in email, sticky notes, and Excel spreadsheets.

Iris’ goal is to build thoughtful human-centric software for construction. We aim to leverage our understanding of the people and processes in the space to help transform not just the productivity of the industry as a whole, but the working lives of those who make it happen.

We are looking for an empathetic design thinker and talented engineers to help us make this happen.

16Lab | TOKYO, JAPAN | ONSITE / REMOTE | Security/Embedded Security and iOS | Visa assistance available for qualified candidates

A developer of the world’s smallest IoT/Wearable module, 16Lab Inc., is looking to add some engineers to our team to expand the limits of installed sensors empowered through software: https://16lab.net/join-the-family/

Our base module can be embedded into any shape of wearables. We develop a smart ring, too - that is designed as a multi functional controller as well as a universal authentication tool. We have been receiving many collaboration offers from leading global corporations in every key area. In collaboration with some of them, we have been accelerating our efforts in working on the next-generation products. Our new authentication method has been highly evaluated by various significant partners/investors, including 5 sovereign wealth funds, as our technology perfectly fits the Smart City era. Please also visit: https://16lab.net/a-message-from-the-ceo/

Full-time or Part-time work tenures and joining dates are negotiable. Due to the COVID-19, we ask qualified candidates to work for us remotely until travel restrictions are lifted. Junior positions will be opened later. Please send your CV, as well as your Github info, to jobs[at]16lab.net.
No argument. My point is simply that this is not the natural order of things and we can consciously correct for it.
> that it's implicitly understood you will pay them

Clearly isn't. If you want the money, put it on the bill - add it as a service charge or whatever.
> Why would smart people want to apply to a job with ambiguous compensation ranges?

People are motivated by many things, not just money. I took a major paycut to do something I believe strongly in. We're not a for-profit startup trying to make our founders rich. We're a non-profit trying to help people. To some people the feel-goods of that is worth a smaller paycheck.

> In what ways are being ambiguous better than being direct in a job listing?

Well, if the salary range is very broad then at best it's no helpful, at worst it's misleading. If we found a truly incredible person, we could potentially try to raise funding to meet a higher salary, particularly if hiring this person meant we didn't have to hire another person. In addition, if it's going to be really useful it takes precious time/effort away from engineering work (building the product and putting out fires) to try and create a matrix of salary ranges depending on all the factors. Some of the factors we probably don't even know yet.

> With ARM, You have to pay ARM for ISA license

This is only true for some definitions of ARM. See for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_(processor)
"The Amber core is fully compatible with the ARMv2a instruction set and is thus supported by the GNU toolchain. This older version of the ARM instruction set is supported because it is not covered by patents, and so can be implemented with no license from ARM Holdings"

> Frankly, unless ARM does radically change their business model, I do not expect them to survive.

Looks like someone is having similar thoughts inside ARM.

2) Network effect favoured ARM.
Way back in the long dark ago I ran into some abandonware for incorporating third party data onto web pages via a shared server. Nobody I knew understood how it was meant to work, but I got the impression it was meant to be a tool where a group of people could host commentary about a website that was not their own.

I keep wondering why nobody has really tried that again. Slashdot sort of filled in that space, and then Digg and now Reddit. Or Facebook for the 'all-in' solution. I keep thinking there was something I was missing about why that would be difficult to pull off.

Today I have a different answer for that - that ship has sailed. We are multi-device and it would be much more difficult for me to have a consistent experience across phone and personal (and sometimes work) machines.

But at the time perhaps it as an adoption thing. Just visiting a website is a cheap interaction that can lead to a habit. Having to do something special doesn't work the same way.
If this much change is going on, you might as well introduce salary caps too, which helps deal with teams like the Yankees who can just buy their way to victory.

It's equally unlikely to ever happen.
Archive that can be reconstructed after total loss of file system structures
If you care about security, you probably don't care about performance. High-performance cores are very complicated and hard to follow. But, if you give up performance, you can design a core that uses very simple concepts, making it hard to hide a backdoor in the design. Things like Chisel, which let you write your design in a higher-level language, help with that too.
Do most frontend devs in 2022 even know CSS?

You're not wrong, the state of football in Europe feels quite unsustainable to me and rewards clubs who make huge financial gambles or manage to get lucrative investment from billionaires (or both!). Every now and again you'll see a flash-in-the-pan where a slightly less well-off team will succeed (Leicester a couple of years ago in the Premier League springs to mind, though they were owned by a Thai billionaire...) but overall it's pretty predictable.

It's a funny situation though because having stupendous injections of cash doesn't always pay off. Paris Saint Germain have been profligate in the transfer market and have little to show for it on the European stage (and domestically they didn't even win Ligue 1 last season). And sometimes just a modest investment, raising the wage bill by shrewd signings can really upset things. There was a fairly sizeable backlash at RB Leipzig - a team bought by Red Bull which progressed through the ranks to the top level - suggesting that they'd bought their way to success. Which is true in a sense but in reality everyone who's successful has basically bought that success. Bayern's average salary is 8x that of Leipzig's[0] - as an outsider it seems they were just nervous at the idea of someone upsetting the balance. Right now Leipzig are the fourth-highest wage bill and are fourth in the Bundesliga.

I kinda hope one of these big clubs has a high-profile collapse, it's a shame that it's Barcelona who have come closest because I don't feel too much disdain for them. Scots tend to have a soft-spot for Catalonia :) Interestingly we weren't without our own big-spending-investor stories, Gretna (tiny club from a town of 3,000 people) were bought by a supposed-millionaire who bankrolled them to the top-level, took a turn for the worse, withdrew his support and the club then fell to pieces.

Anyway yet another ramble-y football comment from me, you can tell I hang out with people who do not like the sport :)

The "broke dummy" portion of the comment was for rhetorical purposes. It was a humorous way of asking, "What are practical applications of this knowledge in simple layman terms." Which is a reasonable question on a board not dedicated to finance.

They usually aren’t allowed direct currency. But if they are trading and have a means to reach the outside (guards or visitors), that is rarely a major barrier. If they’re pimping, arranging ‘free visits’ for guards is one way. having a designated money guy outside who handles payments and they just need to authorize so and so to get $10k, that kind of thing, is another.

And once you have guards on the payroll, the rules generally have a lot more flexibility.
