Aurora | Service Mesh Engineer (and lots more!) | Hybrid (Bay Area, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Bozeman) | VISA | Full Time | https://aurora.tech

At Aurora, we’re on a mission to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. It all starts with the Aurora Driver, a platform created from industry-leading hardware and software and designed to adapt across a variety of vehicle types and industries.

As we prepare to go public this year, we’ve been pulling back the curtain on our technology and progress in self-driving - you can watch our engineers talk about our perception, simulation, hardware stack and more at https://aurora.tech/ai.

As we work towards building our first product, the Aurora Driver, my team is looking for someone to lead our service mesh effort.

What you’ll do as a Service Mesh Engineer:

Connect, secure, control, and observe traffic in Kubernetes clusters for our long-running services and APIs. You will work on our key ingress, as well as manage our services' authentication and telemetry. This person will have a huge impact in establishing a service mesh at Aurora and determining how distributed systems will work at our company.

When we’re back in the office, Aurora will run on a hybrid model. This particular role may also be open to remote (US only) for the right candidate.

We have tons of jobs open across Software and Hardware engineering - you can check them all out at https://aurora.tech/careers!

Be careful though - we use Aurora PG and it's great for what it does, but they do not support managed upgrades across major PG versions yet! We're stuck on 9.6.x because the time to dump and restore our large DB is a non-starter with the rest of the business.

Except it doesn't work with anything complicated, like volumes, in my experience.
My biggest problem with S3 is the old multi-layered security model with bucket policies and ACLs. They need to update it to just use IAM like everything else.
It's difficult to tell from the article. Unfortunately in the USA the poor don't have the same ability to defend themselves as the rich, and it often skews along racial lines. We also have repeat offender laws that can catch up reformed criminals as well as repeat ones.
Came to post this exact same thing.

Rational potential jurors out there, don't dodge that summons! You're the last safeguard against tyranny.

Don't worry, they'll still charge you to unfreeze it later!
NIST just updated their guidelines, removing the requirement to change passwords, for that very reason. :)
I like this, but Amazon still has a lot of work to do to address the pillaging of the commons they've been doing the last few years. They've been displacing people and capitalizing on public infrastructure for far too long without giving anything back.

You gave notice. You're done.
Wake me up when charges are filed.
Don't be too hard on yourself.

If you're looking at other people's code and finding new insights you can apply to your own work, you're doing it right.

When you look at your old code and wonder:

How did this ever work? What idiot wrote this? WTF was I thinking?!?

You're doing it right. It's a sign of growth and improvement.

Didn't Steam already solve this?
I really like the 5-word review described here:

Having been on both sides of the review process, this form of review is not as time-sucking for the manager and can elicit good conversation.

Seriously? You're going to have to cite sources on this. His foundation's progress on Malaria alone has saved countless lives around the world. However he earned it, the fortune he amassed is being spent helping those who need it most... in 100 years, he will probably be remembered as one of the greatest philanthropists of all time.
Re:Who's on call? on Wednesday September 07, 2016 @12:56PM (#12445006)
Here's an idea: pay extra for on-call work. As a professional I want to fix stuff if I break it, but there's a limit to demands on my time.

It's especially infuriating to spend an evening away from my family to fix a problem that someone else caused and could have fixed in 5 minutes, but I had to spend several hours getting familiar with.

At this point, if management asked me to start on an on-call rotation I'd want to know how I was going to be compensated for the additional time and opportunity cost of being on call, or I'd start looking around for a new gig.

Re:CaptionBot by Microsoft on Wednesday April 13, 2016 @03:20PM (#11491332)
My results ranged from impressive to awful. It recognized Pete Carroll with 96% accuracy from a meme picture where he struts and chews gum. Then it thought a picture of the super bowl field before the game was boats on a table.
Fexofenadine/Allegra was reviewed and not added. This is fortunate as it's the only OTC allergy medication that actually works for me.
