What would it take for Apple to switch to making RISC-V CPUs? I mean wouldn't it mostly be a change in the instruction decode logic? Once you are inside the chip most conventional chips (eg not The Mill or many-core) basically the same logically?

> Someone refused to acquire a company for (presumably) tens of millions of dollars because a founder took a below market salary and then made up for it after a funding round with a 100k payment?

Yes. It goes to the CEO's honesty and character. When you find something like this in due diligence, you start wondering what you haven't found.

This is somewhat similar to https://www.insider.com/van-halen-brown-m-ms-contract-2016-9

This coming less than a month after they killed their (actually useful) VR browser - Firefox Reality - is rather depressing.
Author for high domain authority site uses keyword text on author bio to game Google for incredibly rare long-tail terms. Gets nice looking search result pages for said terms, densely packed with their own articles.

But... doesn't try it with short tail terms or any terms that people might actually be searching for.

This is what happens when you have enough authority to Google and search for terms pretty much ONLY seen together on your author bio. It's funny but it's working pretty much as intended.

If it worked for actual, real, current, popular terms then it'd be an exploit.

As it stands it's just shitty clickbait.
So then PoS was pointless right? This whole article was bullshit too right?

Or maybe, just maybe, the author holds a not insignificant amount of Bitcoin and is working overtime to dismiss criticism.

JOON | Remote (US Timezones and Europe UTC+0/1) | Full Time | https://joon.io

JOON is revolutionizing employee wellness benefits by making them flexible and easy to use. Employers choose the transaction categories they'd like to reimburse employees for - typically related to Health & Wellness, or Learning & Development - and employees' purchases are automatically tracked, reported, and reimbursed via our integrations with Plaid and Stripe. The end result is that employees can get reimbursed by their employers at whatever [gym, health food shop, learning platform] they prefer. Other benefits platforms might see only 20% utilization by employees; we often see utilization of JOON at >70%. Our long-term vision is to improve employment for everyone, and we're starting by making wellbeing more accessible.

Our core tech stack is straightforward: - Ruby on Rails - React - Typescript - PostgreSQL

Our team is tiny (<5 engineers!) but rapidly growing; currently we're looking for full-stack engineers who identify with our mission and want to make a huge impact. To find out more (and apply) check out the full post here: https://angel.co/l/2wkn8P
Like which coins? As someone in the industry, I highly recommend taking claims like that with a grain of salt.
Looks like VR is going through the skeuomorphism phase that mobile did when smartphones came out. The knee-jerk reaction is always "let's take things we know in real life, and represent it in this new medium!" Hopefully over time we'll learn what we can and can't do without, and create better VR interfaces.
It would appear there are two main avenues:

- Don't split equity evenly across the first 100 employees. A non-cofounding VP Engineering should probably get a bigger stake than a non-founding customer support rep.

- Increase the employee option pool.
Considering Mozilla had to lay off a significant amount of the company, including almost all of the developers on the rust teams, not too long ago I’m not so sure how comfortably they can afford it.
I went to a highly selective university and I certainly could not not nail any algorithm interview with minimal preparation. Algorithms is one class. It consisted mostly of proofs, a little pseudocode, zero working programs. The particular algorithms we spent a lot of time on were pretty obscure in the interview world: Gale-Shapley matching, Ford-Fulkerson max flow. The goal was never to have a wide repertoire of algorithms that you could write down on command, and certainly not anything to do with implementation.
What is the interview process like at your company if you think that is a better evaluation of an employee's ability to do their job compared to act of actually doing that job?

> By the way, I see unconfirmed reports that Ukraine has just been made a EU member. Like, today

This does not happen overnight. Also it would be all over official news outlets and the website of the european union.

[Edit] The absurdity of that statement has triggered me a bit to be honest. It seems so unrealistic for me as a German that the EU as an organization is capable of such a reaction due to to it's structuring and the process involved, that even suggesting it on something like hn without some sort of source with current event being what they are seems like either trolling or an attempt at propaganda. I do understand however if your comment was made out of lack of knowledge of what the EU is. The world is a complicated place and we all live in our bubbles.
> Examples include Foldable, Traversable, Functor, and Monad

This wording is confusing. Generally we don't think of Foldable, Traversable, Functor, and Monad as higher-kinded types themselves, they are typeclasses on type constructors. That is `Monad(List)` is not itself a type. This is especially true in Haskell, which is where the links for those typeclasses go to.

This is less true for e.g. Scala, where `Monad[List]` is indeed technically another type, even if it's not usually used as such.

However various reifications of those typeclasses are indeed examples of higher-kinded types (e.g. `Free`, the free monad).
That is the case, but there are no mysql-supplied arm64 packages for ubuntu/debian[0]. Ubuntu/Debian have packages, but maintain their own set of patches, which the docker team would like to avoid using[1].

If I’m a modern treasury that needs to do business in Russia the China corridor requires me to fx to yuan and the fx yuan to ruble. As of now both of those currencies are hard to fx. It’s also hard (relatively) to setup Chinese accounts.

I work in the industry and have seen Chinese banking normalize a bit especially in Africa but comparatively it is tiny and hard to manage. Singapore for instance is a more likely spot to setup banking operations for most companies.

The issue is that these are long term trends. It will take decades to make China a finance nexus on the order of modem banking centers in the west and that presumes China continues to liberalize their currency and finance regime which is not the current trend.
Yep. There's surely a bunch of uses of RISC-V that have little or nothing to do with the main CPU, even in a conventional machine.

Meticulous | #2 Founding Engineer | London | Full-time | Onsite | Visa sponsorship available | £100k - £150k+, 2%+

Hey HN, I'm Gabriel, founder of Meticulous (YC S21). Our mission is to make the world's code safe, performant and reliable.

We're starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at https://www.meticulous.ai.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. We are a London-based YC company. Our team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor and Google. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.

You can read more at https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/meticulous/jobs/AkHpFa...

If interested please feel free to reach me at gabe at meticulous dot ai, with a few lines on what interests you about Meticulous and mention HN in the subject line.
Not sure how accurate this is? Clicking on the "Compare All" next to "Skills" shows $165k (per year?) for "Customer Service" and $200k for "Blockchain Technologies" which sounds like huge outliers, even though Blockchain jobs usually do pay a lot right now.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 7 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience. I learn new things extremely quickly.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* replatformed dozens of jobs to AWS Lambda for a startup hedge fund, vastly improving QoS and maintenance cost. Line 1 to platform-in-prod time 3 months.
* built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.
* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.
* built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.

Ah, yes, always good with a reminder about the priorities of Mozilla management.

They fired the MDN team, most of the Rust and Servo teams, etc., to prioritise funding pie-in-the-sky projects like these.

I ran across him years ago at a shooting event (he had a very cool Steyr AUG). He was humble, down to Earth, and just a really neat guy. Amazing to think how his work impacted us all.

His one conceit to vanity? The personalized plate on his older Mercedes SL coupe was something like ETHERNT, which is why I initially approached him.
Agreed with the current top-level comment: finish your degree. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to move around early in your career. I have a degree in supply chain management and started as a supply chain analyst, but now I am a data engineer and operations researcher.

I too have worked as a Data Scientist but grew bored of it. You can get 95% of the way there on most DS problems by throwing a linear algorithm (favorites being GLMs and GAMs) or Random Forest variant at the data you have, and maybe doing some hyperparameter optimization with k-folds or similar. I've found the data engineering aspect of data science to be far more beneficial...you'll get far more out of thoughtful feature engineering than you will out of algorithm or hyperparameter tweaks. Leave those to the PhDs.

The second thing I would point out is that if you really do love Math and solving hard problems, you may want to start looking into Operations Research (aka Mathematical Optimization). There are tons of really cool problems to work on that will actually stretch your imagination. And unlike Data Science, where a quality resume reads like "I increased accuracy by 23%", a good Operations Research resume reads like "I saved my employer $300M dollars a year". Those are real numbers from a previous job, BTW...even incredibly efficient companies have lots of low hanging fruit where massively impactful decisions are still being made using human intuition or other suboptimal heuristics. Again, finish your degree, but if it is someone you'd like to look into, there are ways to find jobs that will get you adjacent to and perhaps directly working on Operations Research problems.

I think it's refreshingly honest. In software we have so many tests that we pretend measures some skill when we're really just doing a shitty IQ test.
I think the GP meant as completely free as in speech free. A computer made of 100% open source components, all chips with Verilog, all masks etc for the PCB... and I think I that is a long way off.
Should be the boss interested in tech? He has you to be interested in tech. And the boss makes decisions and manages money.

We make here in Big Corp jokes, that 2 layers of management above us has tech knowledge from reading Wikipedia. Meanwhile I go into project management and see how I loose the touch with tech. Every fart (sorry) becomes Company Confidential Information. And I don’t want to be the one who allows leaking it in some open source activity.
There would be a lot of people with VPNs nodes in Delaware (no sales tax).
This is already law in Colorado. From what I’ve seen, however, folks are only required to post the base salary, not the whole band. Either way employers likely end up posting the widest band possible for all positions, so the data may not be super useful in terms of offers signed.
These days, many of these same individuals are literally buying plane-loads of chips fresh off the assembly lines in China, and have significantly scaled up their operations with their previous gains, so I wouldn't count it out.

When you look at some of Microsoft's actions they can seem really solid (for example doing away with Bethesda's launcher, keeping many Bethesda/Mojang/Activison games multi-platform), but if 5 years from now a Microsoft account is required to play Bethesda games and they develop a Microsoft Launcher...

I think you really have to stretch the "we enjoy hearing all voices" line to get it to read "we should do business with a regime threatening the world with nuclear war."

I don't agree that closing up shop in a neighborhood after someone there threatens you with violence, is a free speech issue, even if the shop was selling posterboard and markers you could use for signs to exercise free speech.

> Then why dissociate on the basis of TLDs of which many Americans may be domain holders? Or why is it that individual Russians citizens are having their websites taken down for the actions of their government? Namecheap is not being selective or proportionate.

I agree this is fair criticism. I don't know enough about their business to know if there is a better way they could be selective.
This has very little data, to the point it's unreliable.

"Data Scientists in the USA" gives: No data available.

"Data Scientists in Canada" has:

- Sample size = 1

- Not in a major city (Saskatoon)

- That single data point is not representative either, it's on the very low end of the distribution.

This calculator is doing Canadian data scientists a disservice by misinforming companies on salary ranges.

It's not the only one that publishes lowball estimates for Data Scientists either, Glassdoor does the same, and I suspect others do as well. My personal guess at what happens is that at higher ranges, individuals are not willing to publish their data.

If you need to estimate salaries for Canadian Data Scientists, Levels.fyi has much more sensible data (and a larger sample): https://www.levels.fyi/Salaries/Data-Scientist/Canada/
Assange faces 18 charges, one of them has anything to do with his allegedly helping acquire documents. The others are violations of the Espionage Act for receiving and publishing documents. So until they drop all other charges, any "acquisition" he may have done is secondary to their attempt to outlaw publishing.
Most Salaries in US are denominated in CAD, that intentional?

Culture Biosciences | Full Stack, DevOps, Engineering Manager | South San Francisco, CA | ONSITE or REMOTE | Fulltime | https://www.culturebiosciences.com/

Write software to make cells grow in custom made robots! We're a 100 person startup, we build our own hardware in our own lab and we're hiring for several roles to help keep the cells, robots, and customers happy.

If there’s one thing that’s important to know about Culture it’s that we have a good culture.

For example:

* We value kindness and empathy over intellect and strong opinions.

* We don’t use the word “resource” to refer to people.

* Imagine a typical bro-y startup… now imagine the opposite… that’s us.

And I think it’s because of these things that we ship great software and have fun doing it. We’re looking for folks who have a similar perspective.

Open Roles (that I'm recruiting for):

* Engineering Manager, Software - Build the team that scales our operations

* DevOps & Infra Engineer - help us build data centers that (hopefully don't) get wet

* Full Stack Engineer - Deliver products to make customers and cells happy

More roles here: https://www.culturebiosciences.com/careers

If you're interested in any of these roles send me an email with your resume: satshabad@culturebiosciences.com
