> I don't install Java on anything anymore (mostly due to all the security issues)

There's been no security issues in Java... there been security issues in the java web browser plugin.

Just don't install the plugin. There's zero risk of installing java and playing minecraft.

This is not terribly difficult to get running locally (at a smaller scale). Square has a tool called Spoon[0] that makes it really easy to run a test suite across a bunch of devices.

On a recent project, we had 5-7 devices plugged into a spare box that would run a test suite on every push. It worked out great and the ability to capture screenshots was really helpful for the design team to help spot strange UI issues. More details on the setup here: http://www.sep.com/sep-blog/2014/01/06/android-robotium-and-...

But if you need larger device coverage, Testmunk looks pretty awesome :)

Shyp - San Francisco, CA. Data scientist

We're looking to hire our first data scientist. We just raised $50 million from Kleiner Perkins, and we're working on allocating our fleet of drivers more efficiently. A few months ago the routing algorithm was "pick the closest available driver by distance", so there's definitely a lot of room for improvement.

We did just start logging the positions of every driver at the time of every pickup, and making guesses about how long it's going to take. Hoping you can help us make the most of this and our other data.

We have a ton of other interesting optimization problems - how/when to get pickups from drivers to the warehouse, how to optimize the warehouse, how to route packages to people once they are in our possession, etc.

Our founders are Canadian and we can help with visas. Any workstation setup you want, really generous healthcare and dental programs.

Also hiring for mobile engineering positions & a warehouse engineering lead. Contact me - burke@shyp.com

I know they pitched this for solar, but I bet that won't be the most common use, at least initially.

My power company (XCel, if it matters) keeps trying to install a "Saver Switch" in everyone's house to shut down their A/C when demand is high. Basically they want to load shed your air conditioner, and they're willing to pay you for the privilege.

This is a lot more expensive, but it's also a hell of a lot more versatile. How much would it be worth for them to subsidize installing these with a switch that would let the utility remotely toggle you off the grid at their discretion? Plus it would actually save consumers money in any market with tiered electric rates. Plus it would help them deal with the intermittency of solar power.
Who's gonna preserve that stuff? Even if you have the media, it's non-trivial to play it and get the data off of it. Moreover, the actual owners of it, the almost rush to end of life stuff when they can, they don't want to carry the legacy and they OWN it.

Back in the 70s and early 80s it was like the 'hey day' of alternative hardware and software. There were dozens and dozens of systems, all with their own micro architecture, there are probably a bunch that are completely defunct, even if you had working hardware the software might be extinct. Wang, Kaypro, CDC, there were bunches of them...

The real warning shot this should be to everybody is for your personal media. The video and photos of your family. If you don't actively take part in archiving them (like regularly checking in on them, backing them up, copying them to new media, etc..) it is very possible, some would say likely that in 20, 30, maybe 50 years, you won't even be able to read the stuff. It's already a real chore to play a VHS tape.
Is Y Combinator asking too much equity for 120k worth of funding?
Hi Andrey :)

I should add that we have some world-class developers who have given public talks, maintain & contribute to some of the most popular OSS projects on GitHub, and run on the cutting edge on the frontend (ES6, di.js, Babel, Traceur, TypeScript, etc.).

We are a mobile-first company.

We do a lot of pair programming & mentorship.

We also truly are flexible with vacations - we put employees first, and have paid maternity & paternity leave, as well as flexible WFH policies.

If any of this sounds good, shoot the man an email and get the ball rolling! We're expanding rapidly (doubles to about 80 employees in the past half year) and are looking for talent who want to make a difference and leave their mark on our product, including the direction.
Don't tell that to our CEO, he'll make us alter course !

More seriously, we would like to cover all the big ideas in math. And statistics is one of them. It's in the big plan.
Tesla stock price has been gradually increasing the last week or so in anticipation of the event, so the event has already been "priced in." Further, the FOMC (fed) recently scared the market, because interest rates may be rising some time in the future (September? December? who knows), causing people to switch from investing in equities (stocks) into treasury bills. In short, this information was already anticipated but it also had to fight the FOMC announcement.

Boston jobs include full-stack web software engineers, iOS, Android, firmware, and miscellaneous other jobs, 21 in all: http://hire.jobvite.com/m?3efqghwV

San Francisco has over a hundred open positions. Some of them are site engineering: http://hire.jobvite.com/m?3Goqghww mobile engineering: http://hire.jobvite.com/m?3aoqghw0 hardware engineering: http://hire.jobvite.com/m?3pqqghwh and more.

I've been a Principal Software Engineer at Fitbit since November 2013 (previously Senior Software Engineer at Google) and Fitbit is an awesome place to work. The company culture is fantastic. The people are great to work with. The Boston office feels like a startup because it's relatively small (40 people), yet we're well-funded and secure. Everywhere I go people tell me they love our product or know someone who loves it and talks about it.

In Site Engineering, we're using jQuery, Bootstrap, underscore, Handlebars, Backbone, Stylus, Buster, Selenium, requirejs, and Highcharts on the front end, with new technologies introduced as needed. We're only using node as part of the build system for now. The back end is tomcat with a lot of Spring and Hibernate in front of mysql. Some big data projects I'm aware of also use Python. Beyond that, check job listings to know what tools might be used.

> restrict rental access to only the people on the original AirBnB rental agreement.

How could they possibly do that? Handing over the key and doing the local "enforcement" is something the owner has to take care of (AirBnB could maybe help to find local services that do that if the owner is not available, but IMHO not much more)
Have the parties you've seen/attended resulted in the location being trashed like the pictures show? Because if not, it might be the case that this particular sex party was not up to your usual standards, and making statements about the strict rules that usually apply are probably not relevant.

> I do not believe that there is data that is "not important enough to encrypt".

I do believe this. When I visit a static web page over SSL people sniffing my connection are almost always going to have a good idea of which domain I'm looking at (either by IP, or the DNS requests I just fired off, etc.), so the attackers know what content I'm seeing. So why encrypt it? The benefit is that we can trust that static content really did come from that domain and wasn't changed by a MitM, but this can be solved by simply including a signature of the content rather than encrypting everything.

SSL is really not cheap CPU wise; it can limit the usefulness of a small, personal, cheap VPS for hosting even moderately popular content. Signing static content is essentially free, since we can pre-compute them.

If the writer really does believe everything should be encrypted (this necessarily includes metadata), then I assume he would advocate Mozilla deprecate supporting for non-Tor connections? :)

Legalisation (we'll leave the exact definition unspecified here, because it doesn't matter) neither asks nor requires anyone to change their opinions of recreational drug use. Regulating and taxing an activity do not constitute an endorsement of it; more fundamentally, this attitude inverts the foundation of American law by asserting that only those things of which the government approves should be lawful. The legalisation argument is not that recreational drug use is "not so bad". It is that the marginal harm caused by prohibition (by a large number of vectors) is greater than the marginal harm it prevents (the harm done to or by some number of people not using recreational drugs who otherwise would). The reality is that every schoolchild has been repeatedly informed of the effects and risks of the various recreational drugs on the market. It is literally easier to graduate high school illiterate than to avoid learning about recreational drugs. Those who choose to become first-time users despite prohibition do so as informed citizens. There is no evidence that prohibition discourages any great number of would-be users, though it would be naive to insist that it discourages no one. Neither do economic incentives: witness the millions of dollars lost every year by professional athletes who are penalised for violations of their employers' anti-drug policies, which are stricter even than legal prohibition. The objective is not, and should not be, to encourage recreational drug use but to limit the harm done to and by recreational drug users, and to limit their number through education and, where appropriate, rehabilitation of addicts. Neither does legalisation imply that recreational drug users who commit crimes or do other harm while under the influence will not be held responsible for their actions. Consuming alcohol is legal; drunk driving is not. Being high is no excuse for crime today and would be no excuse under the policy regime of legalisation.

Accepting legalisation as a superior alternative simply doesn't require the mental leap you're suggesting. It should appeal to most people, regardless of their overall political views.
>>> in response to getting scammed you hacked into this guys accounts to gather information?

Not really hacking when they gave you the passwords already. That's like me accusing you of breaking into my house after I gave you a key to the lock.

>>>> And then admit to it publicly?

I agree this probably isn't the best thing, but considering the targets are in eastern Europe, and they are criminals, I doubt they're going to press charges.

>>>> And then dox the guy?

This is their own fault for having poor opsec. The fact he got busted and now his information is public is not the responsibility of those he scammed. IF they didn't want their shit exposed and on the internet, they should have done a better job of covering their tracks.

Yes you certainly did. It's the message in your history right after this, that is downvoted so it's very light gray, that you edited after you were downvoted and before you deleted it to say "Ok, I feel like I'm on /r/all ..." Remember it now? Why are you trying to deny something that everyone can verify is true? [1]

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9458762

"Also I did not edit anything recently" is a lie.
Can you explain why you edited it then deleted it, now that I've reminded you what you did?

I agree with smhenderson's reply: "And here you are on hacker news using it to push yours." [2]

[2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9458756

What was really annoying about what you wrote was that YOU were the first person to exploit the suicide to push your own gamer-gate agenda by hypocritically accusing other people in the discussion of using the suicide to push their own agenda, which they were not. You were accusing people of doing what you were doing yourself, while they weren't actually doing what you accused them of themselves.

Next time, don't post misogynistic gamer gate stuff like that, accusing people of doing exactly what you're doing, so then you won't have to edit it, delete it, then lie about it afterwards. This is not the place for that kind of behavior, especially the hypocrisy and lying about it afterwards parts.

Tesla Energy fixed li-ion storage – make sense?
From the article:

> Mr. Marino did not challenge the underlying facts of the case. Instead, he said they added up not to a crime but to a simple breach of Goldman’s confidentiality policy.

> “There’s no doubt Mr. Aleynikov did something wrong,” he told the jury, stopping occasionally to sip from a water bottle he clutched to throughout the closing statement. “But this is a very badly misguided case.”

There has been a lot of misinformation surrounding this case. I think its well established now that Sergey Aleynikov did indeed take more source code than just his open source contributions with him, his lawyer admits as much.

So I guess the take away is on your last day of work, don't just zip up and ftp any code from your company, it's just not worth it.

Actually I think the real takeaway is that if you are really good at your job, your company will pay more attention to you, especially when you leave.
Sergey was a big part of the HFT team at Goldman, he literally rebuilt their infrastructure and his leaving was a huge deal to the team, and he wasn't just leaving to go to say Google, he was going to a new HFT outfit that would compete with Goldman.

His actions would be like Mark Lucovsky leaving Microsoft with some windows NT kernel code he wrote, or Jeff Dean leaving Google with parts of the deep learning code to go to competitors to work on the same thing. I'd be willing to bet that both google and Microsoft would get lawyers involved in both those cases.

If you want to make open source contributions while at work join a company like, um...., Microsoft?

EDIT toned down the language calling him the entire HFT talent at Goldman, it was a bit over the top:)
