lordgilman··on California, Oregon and Washington announce western states pact
I would imagine this is like the AASHTO or the UCC lobbying groups where the agreements don't force any states to do anything, the states just independently do the same thing together. And in some cases like with the UCC they don't even do that.

LeanTaaS | Software Engineer, Data Scientist, Data Engineer, DevOps Engineer, QA Engineer, Product Manager, Data Analyst | Charlotte, NC or Santa Clara, CA | Onsite | Fulltime

We're hiring backend Python and Java developers, frontend Angular developers, QA engineers, data scientists, data engineers, product managers, engineering managers and more. Job openings can be filled in Santa Clara or Charlotte, North Carolina.

Everyone complains that our healthcare system is inefficient and costly. If the idea of working with smart people to actually solve the problem and make it significantly better for our future generations seems worth your time, reach out to me directly at hireme@leantaas.com and I'll put you in touch with the right hiring manager.

We're a Series C funded healthcare tech company based in Silicon Valley obsessed about making our hospitals more efficient with data science and machine learning. 65+ healthcare organizations including the likes of Stanford, Duke, NYP, Dignity, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Tenet and more rely on our products to lower patient wait times, improve staff satisfaction and overall financial performance.

Our team includes successful entrepreneurs, engineers, product managers and data scientists from Google, LinkedIn, Apple, Symantec MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Google, McKinsey, and more. We've raised $55 million to date from top tier VCs in Silicon Valley. CBInsights recently named us among the top 100 AI companies in the world.

On the data engineering side, our stack is Airflow/Python. On the web services side, our stack is Java/Play and Angular 2/Typescript. There's also Python/Flask products. We're fully cloud hosted on AWS and leverage modern tooling and automation to produce high quality code - and we ship every week!

Our vision is to build an "Air Traffic Control" for hospitals - a centralized command and control center that routes the right information to the right department as patients flow through the system - if we get that right, we'll be able to significantly make our hospitals more efficient and eliminate waiting and wastage and solve the problem once and for all.

lordgilman··on Ethereum Genesis Sale
One thing that nobody's mentioned in the Ethereum camp is how useful good tooling is. If you think back to the past year of Bitcoin history there are a lot of high-profile sites that could have and should have made use of more sophisticated bitcoin escrow transactions. Why didn't they[0]? IMO there isn't going to be much of an abstraction layer over the underlying Bitcoin transaction language and anyone who wants to use these features will have to learn how to write directly in the transaction bytecode[1]. Ethereum will have much better tooling (they're already working hard at it!) and this is how you'll turn Ethereum's competitive feature advantages over Bitcoin into users.

[0] Ok, let's assume good faith on the operator's part.

[1] What I'd like to see is a 'C' for bitcoin transactions instead of the current assembler. I don't think that will happen.

lordgilman··on Response to systemd's use of the debug flag
I guess I phrased it wrong, I was referring to the bug fix that stopped systemd from all of the spam and not internal rate limiting.
lordgilman··on Response to systemd's use of the debug flag
The kernel has a debug option that can be specified at boot time to increase its logging verbosity. systemd looks at the kernel command line to do the same and starts writing its own verbose logging out to the kernel's message buffer. Writing out to the kernel message buffer is done for pragmatic reasons: generally if you're debugging init problems they're happening when the machine is first starting so you would like to see the error messages on the serial console/virtual console.

The bug that started this all came up when someone had a broken system that was causing systemd to spew out tons of log messages. This was overwhelming the kernel message system and causing things to time out/etc and resulted in an unbootable system. When this problem got opened upstream, the systemd maintainer said "not my problem."

There are a couple of ways forward here: systemd can limit its own output and say "my bad"[1], systemd can begin looking for its own debug flag in the kernel command line instead of using the kernel's own debug flag or the kernel can implement rate limiting on the message system[2] to keep userspace from shooting itself in the foot.

Torvalds really doesn't like the systemd maintainer's "not my problem" attitude so he's threatened to no longer accept pull requests from him for any code he writes. Torvalds wrote a really good post in the linked Google+ comments that describes his feelings on the whole thing:

"I don't mind people piggy-backing on some fairly obvious generic term like "debug" per se. I don't know if the old init scripts did that, but I do know they did it for "quiet", which is basically the reverse of "debug".

What I mind is people closing bugs and not admitting mistakes. If Kay had even said "sorry, the excessive output was a bug in systemd, it's already fixed in current -git", that would have been a valid reason to close the bug.

And for the people thinking this is a storm in a teacup: this is not the first time Kay has done this, which is why I personally get so frustrated.

Kay has done the exact same thing with major bugs that were not fixed anywhere else, and that caused machines to fail at boot time, and Kay happily pointed the finger elsewhere for months at a time and closed bugzilla entries. 

Side explanatory note: and it's because of that known history of abusive behavior that I would prefer systemd now use "systemd.debug".

The old init scripts may or may not have parsed "debug", but we never had any reason to care. Now we do, and people are (I think) understandably upset that systemd not only screwed up, but then the people involved weren't even willing to say "sorry" about it but instead go "uh, it wasn't our bug, deal with it"."

lordgilman··on IRS Says Bitcoin Is Property
Property tax is subtle, but here's what it looks like in a nutshell:

The article talks about treating it as property vs currency. If the IRS chose currency, all realized[1] gains/losses on BTC get treated as ordinary income (lumped in with salary/wages) and get taxed at income rates. For most bitcoiners this would be around 15% if your salary is under $75,000/yr[2] and around 30% if more.

If the IRS chose property your tax rate depends on how long you held it (and some other things, it's subtle. But mostly how long you held it). If you bought and sold within a year it gets pushed into ordinary income as shown above. If you held it for over a year you pay 15%[3] on the gain.

Note that property transactions still kick into gear even if you didn't cash out into dollars. If you bought in at $10/BTC, get a new lambo[4] at $1000/BTC you pay the property tax (capital gains) on the bitcoin gain.

-----------

[1] Gains from when you cash out (cash out price - buy in price)

[2] Upper middle class in most of the country, excepting the very big and trendy urban centers

[3] If you sold those collectible bit coins you'd probably pay 28% on the gain.

[4] So there's this guy, and he's got a brand new Lamborghini and he wants to put a mezuzah in it...
