Artie (YC S23) Is Hiring Engineers, AES, and Senior PMM

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-15 23:01:21

Why you should join Artie We are building Artie, a real-time data streaming solution focused on databases and data warehouses. Typical ETL solutions leverage batched processes or schedulers (DAGs, Airflow), which cannot achieve real time data syncs. We leverage change data capture (CDC) and stream processing to perform data transfers in a more efficient way, which enables sub-minute latency.

My phone is an ereader now I got a Kobo in 2016 after borrowing my mom's old one for a year before that. It probably is responsible for getting me reading again after high school. I used to be an avid reader, the sort of kid who would have to be told to put down the book and go to sleep, and who would then creep slowly to the bookshelf to pick it up again without arousing suspicion after the light had been turned out. I think I slowed my reading for fun as the work load of school increased, and

‘Injustice 3’ is Coming—What Will DC Do With It?

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-23 15:00:02

Nearly 10 years ago, NetherRealm released Injustice 2, the second game in its DC superhero fighting series. (And it’s the third superhero fighting game, beginning with 2008’s Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.) After continuing and rebooting the story of Mortal Kombat, it seems NetherRealm is going back to superheroic punch-ups, as Green Lantern and Aquaman voice actor Phil LaMaar reportedly told a fan at a recent convention a third game is happening. This will come as little surprise to anyone pay

TL;DR Realme has revealed a concept phone with a 15,000mAh battery. The phone is less than 9mm thick and can last for up to five days.

By Eirik Salmi, System Analyst at Passwork Even though 88% of businesses spend over €1 million on GDPR compliance and 40% invest up to €10 million, 80% of their employees still ignore basic password security practices. The formal risk is obvious: GDPR fines can reach up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.

Political Pollsters Are Trying to Save Money by Polling AI Instead of Real People, and It’s Going About as Well as You’d Expect

As if the institution of political polling weren't already fraught enough, pollsters are now surveying AI instead of real people to cut costs and save time.
