# Quality Assurance Lead ONSITE

We’re looking for a QA Lead to work on automated testing and data validation processes. The project you’ll be working on provides analytic insights into social media, focused around tv-related activity. We process the whole Twitter stream in order to generate various reports on TV and advertising. The quality of data in these reports is extremely important to our clients, so we need to have the best possible validation and testing processes.
But the job is not all about technical skills - you’ll be the foundation of our Quality Assurance team, responsible for planning the release process and managing the QA team.

Huh, looks like my fault. I was avoiding mentioning Python/Django in favor of emphasizing "web app development" so it didn't look too technical, but I think I went a bit far and forgot to mention them altogether. Whoops. Adding now.

Sure. If it was just that stuff we'd abolish it.

But recruits (and the public) need to see the atrocities they needlessly commit all to easily. Without knowing the costs of the tool, how can we reasonably use it? Hmm?

> [...] illegal wifi capture [...]

No, nobody should be held liable for breaking stupid laws and making it illegal to listen to radio signals (that even pass through your body) is not only rude and unreasonable, but also 100% unworkable. Such a law only provides broken but apparently working security - the worst kind. Users think it's hard to get into their devices so they don't demand stronger devices, and so actual bad-guys have a field day.

The children of smokers need hospital treatment more often than the children of non-smokers.

Except that there are just too many areas where “being right” is in the eye of the beholder. How would you make sure that your formalism is only used in areas where “objective truth” can be established? It could just as easily be abused for crusades.
>The Linux kernel is quite complex but each part of it is well understood and there are a lot mechanisms in software to reduce complexity.

Well understood by experts, as is the appropriate section of the financial system. You chose to learn about the kernel, someone else chose to learn about asset backed securities. The guy who learned about Bach probably considers both to be very complex.

Banking allows us to get mortgages.

"Finance" gives us 2% down payment mortgages which are than packaged and sold to Japanese pension funds with currency and interest rate hedges mixed in... which then go on to screw everyone involved since NO ONE reads or understands the terms of the investment vehicle besides the financial engineers who wrote & sold them.

The same holds true for all the points you listed.

Fortunately, Capitalism has a fail safe. All this financial nonsense would have been fixed if the banks were allowed to fail in 2008. The US federal government is largely to blame for the continued parasitical rent seeking of the high finance class.

This is a somewhat misleading statistic as people on average don't spend much time swimming near shark in the ocean. There are probably people who are ~10,000-100,000 times more likely to be killed by sharks than average. due to spending ~100-1,000 times as much time in the ocean and swimming in 10-100x higher risk areas.

PS: On average world wide my guess is the average person spends <1 hour per year in the water as large numbers of people never swim in the ocean and those that do are mostly limited to a few hours a year.

Do you mean the code that's on Github (like the installation instructions) and not in the paperback? The install stuff is online because I highly suspect it'll need to be updated often, and I didn't want the book to go out of date quickly. Let me know if I misunderstood the question!

What you're describing sounds a lot like Antioch College used to be (not sure if it still is). They had requirements for students to spend semesters on work experience, while campus life was pretty loose. They closed for a few years but then reopened... Not sure how they are now.

It is an interesting question (so I up-voted it), but they are not conflicting since it doesn't happen at the some.

I don't think it is really food deprivation - any healthy human being should be able to go 16 hours between meals once in a while (assuming regular meals most of the time). When you wake up you do wake up hungry, but you don't feel impaired yet.

Food deprivation may start after that - so you might get lethargic and sleepy because of it.

It's a very beautiful presentation.

In terms of performance, perhaps you could: i) use domain sharding for pre-loading all the images. ii) Keep the current system for loading and removing videos, but create a placeholder image for each video that's a capture of the first frame of the video. This might make scrolling past videos a little easier.

Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed the site as-is. Thanks for sharing it with us.
> I haven't heard any reassurance that the problem of potentially misaligned motives/incentives (humans vs the AI agent) is solved

I don't believe for a second that it's solved, or will be anytime soon. It's an unbelievably hard problem. We still haven't solved the principal-agent problem reliably even when both principal and agent are humans from the same culture, and we've had millenia to work on that.
Don't forget about the fantastic cuda/opencl cycles rendering engine. The progress Blender has made in terms of scriptable photorealistic rendering is just insane.

As long as the public is well informed, I'm strongly in favor of allowing individuals to make their own choices.

It's not much of a choice when you're psychologically manipulated through marketing to start smoking and then physically dependent and mentally addicted thereafter.

The second-hand smoke nuisance has been eliminated in public places

This is nonsense. I can't walk into my office without going through a giant cloud of smoke. Smokers are literally smoking right next to the signs that say, "No smoking within 30 feet of door" that are less than a foot from the door.

It's just like any other kind of recruiting except you don't state anything about the product or company you are uncomfortable about, only the technology. Early stage startups have a much harder time recruiting experienced developers/engineers, so aim for junior/mid-level or just outsource it.

To recruit rather than outsource, and do it for free:

1. Use word of mouth referrals.

2. Network with others in local tech gatherings. Sites like meetup.com and your local entrepreneurial support groups are good places to start.

3. Browse around and contact directly via linkedin.

4. Post onto mailing lists via meetup.com, google groups, etc. for lists that allow job postings. Be sure to follow all the rules.

To recruit when you have cash to spend, in addition to above methods- first create a good site with a careeers section. You don't need to say anything about the product but you need presence to show validity and seriousness. Then:

1. Post job on sites that focus on startups like HN and http://careers.stackoverflow.com/ or post job on sites that manage resumes for you and also post to http://indeed.com/ like https://www.workable.com

2. Use recruiters/head hunters.

However, the fastest way to get started is to either:

1. Spec it out, learn to develop it yourself, and set it up. It will probably be terrible if you don't know what you are doing, but you'll thank yourself that you tried later, if for no other reason than you better appreciate the engineer and what skills are necessary. Don't assume you hack-ass project will be sustainable though and it may even detract developers/engineers from coming aboard. But if you have something, that's better than nothing.

2. Farm it out. Outsource development and hope what you get in return is not really terrible. Bet on it being terrible though, and expensive.

It's applied Austrian Economics (what they call history as opposed to theory). It's a pretty good read even if you think Austrians are crackpot-crazy. The train of thought is pretty logically structured.
I'm not really aware of a balanced view on the topic so it's a decent idea to start just reading the different views in extreme.

I'd also recommend Friedman's "A Monetary History of the United States" (with a part about the Great Depression) for a Monetarist POV.

"The Great Crash, 1929" by Galbraith provides yet another (institutionalist/Post-Keynesian) POV.

Rothbard was a pretty good scholar even if you completely disagree with him. His "An Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought" is a pretty good and well researched set of books.
That is also the case in usual implementations of stdint.h, where int8_t is defined to be `signed char`. In C and C++, `char`, `signed char`, and `unsigned char` are different types, and `char` is not guaranteed to be signed or unsigned---that's up to the implementation.

EDIT: looking at the documentation, it appears that __int8 is supposed to always be an alias for `char`, even as far back as 2003: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/29dh1w7z(v=vs.71).a.... However, the workaround found in msinttypes suggests that Visual Studio 6 does have this problem. I weep for those still using it.

Interesting though. Last Century a couple friends and I figured out the cube. We did it different than all the methods I've seen: 1 side then all corners, opposite sides, then middle layer.

They are very satisfying to move.

My favorite rubiks cube variant from the 80s (clones where everywhere) was the cube that had all the same colors so you couldn't mess it up.

The question is about falling asleep, rather than waking up early right? Waking up early is simply a question of alarms/light/whatever.

Eating early will have no measurable impact on the ability to "wind down" and sleep as far as I can see, nor does that link seem to support it?

I can pretty much always sleep (I'm lucky) and I go to bed late (I'm dumb and play too much dota) - so I struggle with the waking up thing. This is despite not really eating in the evenings. Anecdotally I'm just saying I don't think there's one most important thing - just a set of factors and decisions which have an impact.

SEEKING WORK - London, UK & Remote

Hi I'm Chris - an iOS developer and designer looking for work.

How can I help? I love building well crafted iOS applications, and have been doing so for 5 years. I deeply appreciate thoughtful design, which I put forward in all my work. I build apps with backends from conception to App Store, and have helped guide my clients to release and beyond. Any type of app you need, I can build it, and I can build it well. Above all though, I'm a friendly guy who you'll enjoy working with!

Previous client: "I've had the distinct pleasure of working with Chris for my first ever iOS app and I can honestly say that he has made the entire experience fun and exciting."

I'm currently working on my own startup [1], backed by a VC at Balderton Capital, which is currently being consider for App Store promotion. I've been part of a team whilst they were taking part in TechStars London, and I'm incredibly active in this space. I'm currently looking for a gig to further my startup's runway. Moreover I have been through the EF accelerator last year, which aims to take the best technical people Europe wide and get them to found startups.

I have not read the article (yet).

I used to have trouble falling asleep, to the point where I was concerned enough to go to a doctor about it, but I never followed up after the first visit. Instead I not very intentionally made some adjustments on my own which resolved my situation:

1. No lights/noise. Get rid of all blinky things, particularly blue and green lights. Faint red lights are tolerable. Black electrical tape is a gift, use it! Noisy computer fans are bad! Turn off the computer or move it into a different room.

2. Take better care of yourself! Eat better, get more exercise, and get up at a consistent time every morning. A healthy routine is important.

3. Don't worry about it! If you lay awake all night worrying about the sleep you are "missing" you are only making the problem worse. You don't need to worry about it, you will be fine. We miss sleep ALL THE TIME and are still functional members of society.

Once I stopped worrying, even the rare nights where I can't sleep go faster because I'm not focused on the clock. I use the time to think about more interesting and less worrisome things or get out of bed and do something productive.

Also, as others have said, Flux is great! I also have Twilight on my Android phone! I love them both.

Why does ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] return the string “10”?
It does seem like an odd thing to be worried about. I think it's because the ability for the AI itself to do things is what makes AI different from other future technology. For example, a Star Trek replicator could give its owner just as much power over others as a general-purpose AI, but it's not going to decide to exterminate humans on its own. Nuclear weapons were thought by many to have similar properties back when they were on the horizon.

In other words, the less likely scenario has more novel elements, and therefore more interesting to think about. Therefore, it gets more attention than it normally would given the probability of it happening.

just to correct a misinterpretation: I did not want to imply, that public sector jobs are unneeded jobs.

I understand the interest in new Javascript standards in the browser however I've been doing a lot of React+CoffeeScript (without JSX) work lately and it can do all of what is mentioned in the article in a more expressive and (imho) more beautiful syntax.

3 Reasons Why Modularity Should Be the Next Big Thing in the Tech Industry
Nice job.

I used to have the solutions memorized... it helped me get a job offer once because the hiring manager left to get some water and came back less than a minute later with the cube on his desk solved. When you don't know the tricks it can be impressive when someone does that. If you know the tricks it is just a silly time waster.

It's a neat thing to learn. Of course some people like to try to figure out the patterns on their own. :)

Supposedly a portion of a hangover is withdrawals (which is why the "hair of the hound that bit you" is effective). However the crux of your point remains true: alcohol withdrawals only last a morning (by my experience) where nicotine withdrawals last a few weeks to months (also personal experience).

The last time I drank was probably 5 days ago and I have no cravings. The last time I smoked was 8 months ago and I have cravings at least once every 2-3 days. Tobacco is much, much, worse.
It doesn't really matter if the actual occurrence is vanishingly small, what matters is the differential between the consequence of buying the wetsuit and having a shark pass you over (a small number of dollars, hundreds at most), and losing a limb in a shark attack (natural limbs are irreplaceable, prostheses and medical costs will be in the tens of thousands of dollars). That seems like it would make sense for anyone who spends a non-trivial amount of time in the ocean. Most peoples' houses don't burn down, but most people still buy fire insurance.

Something I noticed in my falling asleep pattern (and did not found in the article yet) is the relation with the air I breathe. It's very easy for me to fall asleep somewhere in the middle of green forest and the other way around - I noticed that I sleep badly in a medium that for some reasons had insufficient aeration. Is it possible for the loss of sleep across the century to have something to do with the quality of our air?
