Talented Dev Ops please apply! REMOTE OK, San Francisco, CA or Seville, Spain

We're a 3 month old SaaS business for enterprise. We finished our MVP 1 month ago and I've just finished a round of customer interviews and feedback gathering. We've hit some product market fit and want to make our MVP available on Amazon's Beanstalk service to get it in the hands of our first customers!

I'm in need of a professional with dev ops skills to help us stand our app up on AWS with some resilience.

You can be any where in the world and if you like what we're doing we can even discuss having you join our team. I'm the only person on our team of 3 working full time on the project but we'll grow and this could be a chance to join an early stage business as a founding employee!

Thank you!

> I still feel that there's a difference between physical property and "intellectual property" - probably because "intellectual property" is mostly licensed.

In Canada, section 83.01 of the Criminal Code[1] defines terrorism as an act committed "in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause" with the intention of intimidating the public "…with regard to its security, including its economic security, or compelling a person, a government or a domestic or an international organization to do or to refrain from doing any act."

http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/cj-jp/victim/rr09_6/p3.ht...

Note "economic security". If you block the flow of the economy, you can be considered a terrorist under this definition in the Canadian criminal code. This is not hyperbolic nonsense. This is the law.

The tone of the references to USSID 18 makes me feel like they are tongue in cheek.

For example this one: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2115979-advanced-htt...

They are saying: are you unsure if an IP is a proxy? Well, given that you know so little about it, query all the users on the IP... you know, as long as the IP is USSID 18 compliant... given that you know so much about it already.

Hrm.

That's unfortunate. I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of C++, but I assume you can't link multiple STL libs in a single binary?

Regarding backpropagation and training sections of the NN at different times, there are other training algorithms. Evolutionary training algorithms come to mind, and you could really evolve any section you wanted. You could even train the output of each layer one by one to represent a certain form of input to the future layer.
> How do you get a code-signing paradigm down to something as simple as curl | sh though? (Well not as simple, but still a human-readable one-liner that works on nearly all Linux systems.)

You don't, really. Not currently anyway. Retrieving a binary/archive and doing out-of-band verification are two logically separate steps.

The problem with your suggestion is that SSL is about transport security. It verifies that you are talking to the right server, but does not provide any guarantees beyond that.

It's not really possible to shoehorn release signing into that, without additional infrastructure.

It doesn't matter how you combine things - the server and the signing system are (and should be!) two separate entities, and you cannot rely on the server to tell you who the signing system is (because that'd give you no better security than not having a signing system at all).

> It would be a marked improvement over just passing anything from a potentially compromised server straight to bash though!

It wouldn't, because as far as I can tell, you're still relying on the server to tell you what the correct release signing key is. How else would you obtain it?
Yes, I completely agree it's not the best test. Real user monitoring would be much better.

Given that there's enough addresses to assign around 1000000 addresses to every bacterial cell on the planet, you can safely expect that it will last longer than ipv4. It's not a matter of "oh, lets double it that should be big enough", the ipv6 space is around 18 orders of magnitude larger. Computers and our uses for them would have to change enormously for us to exhaust that. Not saying it won't ever happen, but it'll be a while.

I'm not sure extra taxes and restrictions really make it harder to run most businesses. You just pass the extra cost on to your customers.

Based on your reference, I'm not sure that standardized timezones so much transitioned US culture toward a more schedule-oriented environment as allowed it to expand to a larger scale. The banker in a specific city in Indiana with a 2pm meeting probably expected his appointment to show up at a specific time. Time zones made it more practical to schedule things across the country when it became more important to do so.

Amazon "yielded" to that pressure because they intend to have same-day delivery in every state. There's no way to do that without a presence in every state. So Amazon was going to be paying sales taxes anyway.

Since they've decided to pursue a business strategy that has them paying sales taxes, they're pushing for an agreement that has competitors paying taxes even without a presence in that particular state.
> Correctness Engineer

would it be remiss to call this QA ?
>Nearly every city it alludes to being gutted is thriving.

What do you mean by "thriving"?

The cities that have nice walkable urban centers avoided their destruction via highway. NYC and Boston stood up to their interstate plan. SF's Embarcadero fell down in an earthquake and they wisely didn't rebuild it, which then created a desirable waterfront.

>Detroit is basically fallen over, of course, but blaming the highway system for that is fairly disingenuous.

Urban planners (the people most knowledgeable on this subject) would not call this "disingenuous". The cities that are most prosperous and desirable in this country are dense without highways cutting through them. People want walkable environments with 24/7 activity, not just buildings peppered throughout parking lots.

In Detroit's case they cut through downtown with highways to easily connect them to the suburbs. This also meant adding parking lots. When new buildings were built, the code required a certain amount of parking. This ease of mobility allowed "white flight" to the suburbs. This reduced the amount of people living downtown along with amenities, reducing rent which reduces taxes. Detroit also never annexed its suburbs, so the tax base was reduced even more.

It's basically a textbook case of what not to do. Live by the car, die by the car.

Here are some more cities:

Firstly, from a non biased, completely subjective point of view, that is one of the quickest loading pages I've seen in a while. A great showcase for the service, congrats on getting it out there.

I had a few questions I don't see answers to on the landing page:

Do you support pushing to edge nodes?
Do you support the Vary header across things like Accept & Accept-Encoding?
Is the $25/mo for 100GB across multiple domains?
Any plans for higher tiers?

Out of interest, how big is the team behind this? What's your background?
Would be interested to hear of how you go about setting this up to be quicker than the competitors, and what lessons you've learnt along the way.

All in all it looks really compelling - Good luck with it.

Uh, the entire presentation is about the need for a systemd-like system, and how the existing init system is not sufficient.

Did you listen to the presentation?

Look, snark aside, nobody can sanely suggest the existing init systems are sufficient in 2015+. New ideas present in systemd and launchd are exactly what people have desired for a long time. Maybe systemd doesn't float your particular boat, but that doesn't mean the old init system is superior.
A common warm up question in a coding interview is to write (on the whiteboard) a program that prints the Fibonacci numbers in sequence. Arguably, you can write this fraction and claim this answers the question, though I don't know any programming language where this would actually work without a bunch of more code around it.

Edit: other comments have examples in Python, Clojure and bc.
A library dictates a stack since it's hard to use a Python library in an Haskell application.
No hypothesis is unjust! It could also be related some of the experiences people have in sensory deprivation tanks. Your brain attempting to see structure in noise and hallucinates. One hypothesis would be that on LSD, and other psychoactive substances, this feedback loop is somehow enhanced. There might be a few doctorates to be earned in testing these hypotheses.

Previous discussion of CL's suit against 3taps: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6235034

The court ruling is at http://www.volokh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Order-Denyi... and is surprisingly readable.
That way, if someone gets an out of state default judgement from a court that does not have personal jurisdiction over you, they will have to bring that judgement to your state and file it with a court in your state in order to get something enforceable in your state. That should give you an opportunity to challenge the validity of the judgement on jurisdiction grounds.

Judgements of one state's courts are valid in all other states, and can be enforced in other states' courts under the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution, even if the laws in other states are different, unless the judgement is contrary to the public policy of the other state. An example would be trying to enforce an AL non-compete clause in a California court after a non-executive employee has moved from an AL employer to a competitor in CA. Non-competes for non-executives are contrary to public policy in CA on the grounds that they inhibit an employee's rights to earn a living, and so will not be enforced by a CA court.

States are required to recognize the judgements of the courts of other states, but only if the court rendering that judgement had jurisdiction.

No, states are required to enforce the judgements of other state's courts unless the judgement is contrary to the public policy of the state in which enforcement is sought. The defendant is not allowed to challenge the jurisdiction of the original court in an enforcement proceeding--they were supposed to do that in the original trial (or in their appeal to the original ruling). However, if the defendant has challenged jurisdiction (or other issues) in its appeal to the original judgement (in the proper court for making such an appeal), enforcement proceedings (in other states) must be stayed until the appeal is resolved, since the judgment may be overturned.
Craigslist had to sue or otherwise anyone could scrap data from Craigslist, whether they were making "Craigslist more valuable" or not. Simple as that.
One has to question how they can be so certain they are totally unrelated given they have no clues about either incidents. Seems more like wishful thinking than sound facts at this point.
I actually don't believe that's entirely true either, or at least not as "bad" as you seem to think. Sure, any sort of advertiser would like you to use that product/service, but it's isn't necessarily trying to impact the way you think. There are plenty of ad campaigns that are simply trying to be made known. Without that, how would you expect any product to reach some sort of critical mass? Word of mouth alone?

Firefox, for example, used several different marketing avenues including a newspaper ad to try to make people aware of them. As far as I recall, that was all they were trying to do, let people know another browser option was out there. It seems a stretch to consider that as trying to manipulate your thinking.
Your main point is well taken, but I'm skeptical of this particular statistic--is there a source for this? I can't decipher what it means.

Is it that of all the deaths in 1900, over 50% of those occurred within 5 miles of the birthplace of the person dying? Or that 50% of all people who were alive at some point in 1900 died within 5 miles of their birthplace?
Comcast, the largest consumer ISP in the US, supports IPv6 on its entire network, and all current modems they supply have it enabled. There are still customers on older modems, and customers who have brought their own modems that do not support it, so only about 50% of Comcast users are actually running IPv6.

Consumer wireless ISPs in the US are also doing pretty good. Verizon has 70% deployment, and AT&T and T-mobile are around 50%.
The site owner should seriously consider running these SVG images through "scour" because each image is roughly 2X the size it should be.

Since SVG images are using XML, they can be minified just like JS, CSS, or HTML documents. Scour is a python script that does just that, but is SVG aware so it removes unused XML attributes, etc. Like any lossless optimization, the resulting file is a pixel perfect copy (can you still say that for vector images?)

Does this really help. Yes actually. I'm getting over 800 KB of savings across all the images applying scour.

That's simply not true. Over 22% of US Internet consumers have IPv6 addresses. Your mobile phone probably has a (few) IPv6 addresses.

It sounds crazy, but at this point, why not.
This is California, not Canada, so Canadian legal definitions aren't relevant. Even if it was relevant, there's a saying that "the law is an ass." A legislature could decree that apple pie is terrorism, but it simply does not make it so. Like I said, if you stretch the definition of terrorism to mean anything you don't like, you're just making a farce of language.

We've seen no evidence that this was carried out in furtherance of a "{political, religious, ideological} {purposes, objective, cause}". We've seen no evidence to suggest that this was done to intimidate the public. Yes, it's a lousy, criminal, needlessly destructive thing to do. That doesn't make it terrorism.

Maybe it's a bunch of bored teenagers. Maybe a disgruntled employee has it in for Level 3. Maybe the guy who shot up the PG&E substation has a delusional fear of electricity. These are all plausible, non-terroristic explanations. Until the FBI nabs the perpetrator, or someone makes a credible claim of responsibility, I'm not going to jump to conclusions.
Cynical part of me sees all the people saying "EFF should give it back to show integrity" and wondering if that wasn't the hope all along from craigslist.

I would hope that EFF does not give it back but uses it to continue the good fight or donate it to another, unrelated, charity if they believe the money is tainted.

too much leverage leads to an insolvent society, just as too much debt leads to an insolvent individual.

the history of the world is largely intertwined with stories of debt------who is under the control of whom else?

the answer to too much monetary debt is always monetary debasement. as the money supply is turned to toilet paper, as we have seen in the 20th century with zimbabwe and other countries------------the answer is that societies reform themselves.

the result is other types of debt and relationships arise to fill the gap, while poverty sweeps over the nation.

no financial trickery can solve this problem, at best one can hope to mitigate it.
