SEEKING FREELANCER - San Francisco

We're a BigData company looking for a Systems/DevOps girl/guy with some exposure to Hadoop ecosystem. Other technologies used are ansible, nagios, ganglia, openstack.

It's a fulltime 6 month contract till the end of the year and must be local on site in downtown SF.

If your interested please email me (Steve Morin) your resume at smorin at nventdata.com
This, incidentally, is why people in China riot about inflation from time to time: if you have to support yourself and several family members, you'd better have yourself a lot of savings, but it's really hard when your bank pays negative real interest rates. (And what's your alternative to the bank? Invest in the property bubble? Ha!)

Then the banks loan out this savings to the party's preferred business partners (still at negative real interest rates) which can be incredibly profitable (cheaper-than-free money will do that) and spend their wealth on a privileged few.

Some day it's all going to come crashing down (and if push comes to shove, the property rights of foreign investors will probably be pretty low on the priority list).
> The world can not all live like Americans.

People say this all the time, but it's simply not true. There is no limit to our resources because they can be recycled endlessly. The atoms don't wear out.

The only input necessary is energy, and we are working hard to make that cheaper and cleaner.
This is all true, and it's wonderful!

I fired my previous employer for unethical behavior. They told me to settle down and act my age, so I responded with my two weeks notice, at which point the asked me to leave immediately.

The following job search consisted of one phone call to a friend who was working on a promising startup. The job search was a bit of luck of course. It usually takes me at least a day or two and multiple phone calls, emails, and messages to find a new position.

Not sure about Ember, but Angular provides

- a full MV* implementation
- routing
- DI
- decorators
- CSP / XSS protection
- a ton of services for mocking for unit tests ($http, $window, et al)

I'm sure I'm missing a fair amount of stuff here, too. This is just what I get out of Angular 1.x on a daily basis.
Interesting insight with the "engagement wall" concept, but I wonder if following this idea means you spend more time in "viral" features without adding meat to your product basics. In the long run, you really want engaged customers rather than casual customers (unless perhaps you can monetize the casual users somehow).
Nobody "tried start a witch hunt"

Publicly shaming someone on twitter isn't trying to start a witch hunt? Maybe it wasn't her intention, but sending that tweet is a knew-or-should-have-known type of situation. I have 6 tweets to my name in 7 years, and even I know how these things go down. Someone innocently or "innocently" mugs for the camera about something they like/don't like and their followers overreact.
The truth is that programming isn't a passion or a talent, it is just a bunch of skills that can be learned.

I have to disagree with this part. I always considered passion to be a huge part of talent. And you can be passionate about anything in life.

Anyone can learn any skills (from painting to solving differential equations). However, if you're passionate about using those skills, you learn faster, easier, and you're more inclined to spend your time honing them and developing a deeper understanding.

Meaning, that the system did not work then and does not work today in providing security. It only seems to be there to instill the feeling of security in Jane/Joe Average.

So it really seems to be just security theater...

It is not designed to work - and you could argue it being this way by design. It detects the idiots (smugglers & the little guys, et al) - but if something severe happens the only consequences are making the system more secure by adding to it. not by questioning it. That way the systems is kept alive and politicians have the ability to be seen doing something, after a tragedy happens. Everyone is happy - except Mrs. Taxpayer - but she does not get asked.

How about S/MIME? Most mail clients offer out-of-the-box support, including iOS. No additional software required. Requesting a free certificate from Comodo with a web browser is much easier than grokking PGP.

But then exporting your private key and importing it on iOS ... Still a UX disaster, unfortunately.

You don't. Its pretty much that simple. Even if you have the best defense in the world, no one will hear the follow-up because people have moved on and google will always stain your name. Hell, people don't even wait to hear your side these days. Its all "getting my comment in while the plane lands on the Hudson River" time scales. Its not confined to the internet either. Look at all the stories that aren't true and had to be "clarified" on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, NYT, etc. Didn't fix some of them before the riots broke out. Its all reality tv and your pain is worth a couple of bucks in soda ads.
There's a TON of room for more farmland. You don't have to use some complicated chemical method.

can you expand on what you found terrible about the chrome plugins that added decryption to gmail?
Very interesting, and while the title isn't what I expected, I'm pleased to have the chance to read through it. Will just share my notes:

1 - Initial thought process was that the experiment / development was extracting audio from a static image. This is very different. The complexity of the process and method fascinated me, and while I like to think I was following along okay, I'm not bold enough to jump out and say I grasp it.

2 - I guess there's a bit of a language difference in the title here (extracting) versus the dominant term used in the article (recovering). My understanding is a simplified one but I grasp that it's a way of, well, translating a visual disturbance (vibration) into its corresponding sonic origination (from sound to vibration back to sound).

3 - As a joke for guitarists: Maybe now we can finally get some really excellent guitar-to-MIDI translation stuff! (Disclosure: I haven't tried the Fishman $400 thingy yet)

4 - This kind of reminds me of how neat Ableton Live's WAV-to-MIDI idea is, but personally I haven't had very good luck mastering it.

5 - Potential applications from brief contemplation: A) Environmental support for the blind, B) Potential oceanic application (reading waves from space?), C) Clandestine communication system using something like morse-code in visual form.

Anyway, had a lot of fun with this article.

How can self-driving cars handle going down the road at 70mph, yet bin-picker robots have to move so slowly to be accurate?

Seems like a contradiction to me.
Here's a solution that takes O(P + R) time, where P is the number of people and R is the total range of birth years.

First, notice that you don't really care who died when. All that matters is someone died. People's birth and death years are fungible, in a sense. Each birth increases the population by one and each death increases the population by one.

Basically, you'll create an array where the value at each index represents how much the population changed in that year (steps 1 to 3). Then you can use that array to find the highest population (step 4).

1. Get the min birth year and the max birth year.

2. Create an array where the size is the above range. Set to all zeros. Each index will map to / represent a year in the range.

3. Loop through all the people. For each person, increment the index of their birth year and decrement their death year (or the following year, depending on whether or not they're counted as alive the entire year of their death)

4. Just loop through the array, tracking the running sum at each index. The biggest running sum will indicate the highest population.

There are some other good solutions depending on what assumptions you make about P and R's relative size.

Ah, gotcha, it works for a different use case from mine (but a valid one). And yes, I'd like to see code using well-defined atomic operations and orderings / barriers.
Ouch, sorry to hear that, but I believe everyone does a lot wrong, just hopefully we can outweigh the screw ups with enough successes to make it work.

To me the support from an institutional type investor (VC) is to help you dodge preventable mistakes and open doors, which is the bigger attraction than just cash (not that cash can be dismissed). It sucks to hear you didn't get that. Do you think your experience is more normal from what you know or that it was more an anomaly?

I ask because I have raised money for a couple of my own companies in the past, mostly from high net worth individuals and every time I was required to provide monthly/quarterly financial reports and projections. And they were reviewed and if stuff didn't line up or they saw something I didn't I would get a call to discuss it. I sometimes resented it right at the moment because I was knee deep in a customer issue or feature, but I learned a lot and it continues to help me now.
A strong social support network is impossible without a rich society.
Smaller companies are a bit different than big corporations, too, though. Usually, it's just one (or a small group) of individuals running the company, so it's not some "faceless entity" with no morals and only working towards the goal of profit. Also, employees and employer generally know each other personally and have some kind of relationship that allows for at least some loyalty from both sides.

Big companies (public or private) have evolved beyond that and are more of a system than a person.

Upvote begging (and knowingly using the /newest trick) is pretty unethical, although fortunately uncommon in HN.

I'm working on a blog post about the problem of upvote begging. Usually, it's in the minority of users, although some websites don't explicitly enforce it well. (Case in point, Product Hunt makes upvote begging part of the status quo, which compromises the integrity of the site as a whole.)

The book you link to in that comment (_Flash Boys: Not So Fast_) is really fantastic.

Given the above discussion about the great performance differences largely being rectified by using angular's `track-by`, I think we can rule out templates as a major driver of performance grief. Templates are usually compiled into native javascript code once (or at least, can and should be), so I really don't see how there should be grand differences between what React is doing and how template processors work.

This, by the way, is an EXCELLENT example of the kind of arguments that have come out of the React.js camp that give me a lot of pause. There's radical differences made in how frontend applications are developed with React, and the primary selling point that I kept hearing was "embrace it, the performance difference is HUGE!". Then as arguments come out about how the performance differences have caveats, the arguments switch to "...well this is how we should be developing, for X, Y, and Z architectural reasons". I'm not saying that X, Y, and Z aren't valid discussion points, but it's been wrapped up in so much pseudo-technical FUD, and that's pretty unfortunate.
