Remix (YC W15) | San Francisco, CA | Fulltime

Remix is creating technology that empowers cities to be great for everyone. We’re starting with an underserved and core part of infrastructure: public transit. Our product is used by cities around the world to help them plan public transit more efficiently and effectively.

We're looking for a frontend engineer who join our three person engineering team, and help us quickly make improvements and build new features.

We've gotten incredible traction so far (signed contracts 50+ cities in under a year), and that's been in large part because of how well our product (http://getremix.com) works. You'll get a ton of responsibility, get to join a small but quickly growing startup, and to work on something that matters.

What seems uncertain? Couldn't it just be that the reports were false, which wouldn't indicate anything about the teams at Google?
Same thing could be said about OSX and iOS. There have been rumors of the platforms merging for a long time.

Instead, they took some features of iOS and integrated them into OSX and vis versa. But they are still separate platforms.

I think with merging them together you run the risk of confusion that Microsoft had with WindowsRT and Windows.

Possibly uncertainty inside Google... but like as not the uncertainty is from the outside and the rumor mill got it wrong.

Certainly it's confusing. :)

So you just have to remember enough to complete the test that occurs right after the lecture, which is all short-term memory. Retention is long-term. And I have taken those quizzes; I don't believe they test for understanding very well. They tend to focus on lower-order thinking "what, which, etc" rather than higher-order thinking such as "Why" or "explain how".

Required discussions are great, but they are asynchronous and often after the fact. They certainly help. But in my small online courses, only 5% of the students engage in discussions that are not required, and 70% of the students only do the minimum of the required discussions. Which if you think about it is about the same as a traditional classroom. Ask a question of the whole group, get crickets until one brave student answers just to move things along. But put them in small discussion groups and watch things get noisy quickly.
Could you elaborate on how the plugs and app work together? Or do you play the white noise from your phone's speakers on top of the ear plugs? Do you leave it playing overnight? Or with a timer? I'm really curious.
I believe when Chrome OS was first announced it was rumored to replace Android on phones.
How is this note/book compared to stat110. I am reviewing that now and I really like the flow and depth of content.
It's so scary when I think about myself and how often do I do that. I want my beliefs to reflect reality, but how well can I do it? How is anyone aware of this bias not afraid that they believe nothing but lies?
Is it incredible? Software development is such a young discipline. It's no surprise to me that the vast majority of actors are winging it here. I have a lot of sympathy for your detractors.

Keep on fighting for quality, it's worth battling over and teaching others about.

In a similar vein, if one were so inclined, how hard would it be to make a modern city come to a grinding halt?

Seems to me that this kind of "economic terrorism" would be very low hanging fruit, achievable with even modest means and at a low risk of exposure.

If the "clash of civilizations" is real and the western world is really under such a severe existential threat as so many seem to believe, why aren't we seeing more of this?

That's why I used 6 dollar signs, instead of my usual 3 (which I'll admit is not super clear). Or at least it was my impression that Ada compilers cost a lot more.

And I most certainly remember that detail about GCC, having started playing that game no later than 1992 with Sun.
London, England - Full Time - ONSITE

2 - Regular updates follow debian stable, new releases are once every 1-2 years.
What plugin do you use for Haskell?
plus who cares? Chrome OS could just be a stripped-down android, and the world would be fine. Actually I though they were already mostly the same (I have a chromebook, but no android device, I don't know what's the difference, appart from the fact that my chromebook gets regular updates)
Any new talks, videos, or papers to recommend?
`compared to current day where some of the hardest workers are barely hanging on` I am not sure if I agree. A software developer and a waitress at a restaurant perhaps works equally hard. However one job can be done by a thousand, other can be done by a million different people. One requires mastery, another may not. To me, only people does not work `that` hard are government workers and most academia. And boy they are a lot.
If a single scaled up server can actually handle the load, why introduce a network? Obviously cross-network comms can't be faster than cross-process comms. And with current NUMA machines, you have a system that's really more like a cluster of computers anyways (with a fast inter-proc but still slower than intracore). What's the real benefit of using RDMA or something to write to a foreign machine's memory versus nontemporal writes to a foreign socket's memory?

BTW any suggested reading on the technical implementation design of trading systems? I read that Island's system was distributed (horizontally scalable) even in the 90s. Is that doing things like running separate trading instances per symbol? (Which should work unless there's atomicity required across symbols, like in spread orders?)
After getting a little frustrated trying to Ctrl-F my way through the "Who's Hiring?" posts, I decided to build an interface that would make searching by keywords less of hassle.

Examples of the two currently supported query formats are:

1) "python London intern" -> simple matching (equivalent to ANDing the words)

2) "(haskell | golang) & Berlin" -> with groupings and logical operators

The backend is built in Go with Postgres for full-text search. The source is available at https://github.com/evgorchakov/hnwh .

Star Wars Ring Theory
From the Wikipedia page you link on multiple intelligences:

> Intelligence tests and psychometrics have generally found high correlations between different aspects of intelligence, rather than the low correlations which Gardner's theory predicts, supporting the prevailing theory of general intelligence rather than multiple intelligences (MI).[19] The theory has been widely criticized by mainstream psychology for its lack of empirical evidence, and its dependence on subjective judgement.[20]

As for your other points...

> I also don't think you can separate genetic influences from environmental influences, i.e. one allele might make you do well in one environment and poorly in a different environment.

That's probably the case for some genes, sure. But finding strong correlations between twins raised apart would seem to indicate that many of the genetic factors are not entirely environment-sensitive.

> I also don't think any genes actually code for intelligence as it's commonly understood. Intelligence is, basically, knowledge (including knowledge about how to acquire knowledge). Genes affect brain chemistry, which influences intelligence in different ways, within a given environment.

Twin studies seem to contradict this. From Wikipedia (heritability of IQ [1])

* Identical twins—Reared together .86

* Identical twins—Reared apart .76

So yes, environment has an impact, but there's still a high degree of correlation in intelligence between identical twins raised apart.

Wow, just wow. Sort of like looking into the flickering tongues of flame in a campfire except, well its a lot bigger :-). It is particularly interesting to see how the flux lines twist in upon themselves and allow energy flows through the fabric like a giant loom weaving threads of electromagnetic particles.

Please could you show any link between male circumcision and suicide?
Agreed. However cryoshon's point is that just giving us all the data isn't going to change anything even if we have the information. i.e. our votes are irrelevant.

So even though we have a nice new site, it's a waste since the outcome is the same.

Uh, what part of that comment is unrelated nonsense? Seemed pretty related and sensical to me.
Unforunately its probably because comcast is SOOOO BAD that they feel they can get away with it. And they're right if that's their reasoning.
Kotlin seems to fill a niche comparable to TypeScript: a language that doesn't try to break new ground, but picks a bunch of tried-and-true ideas to fix severe problems in the underlying platform. Like TypeScript, I hope that it ends up being the right language, with the right compromises, at the right time.
Fixed! Thanks.

I in turn think you undervalue his luck, but obviously we can't know what would have happened if electricity had not been discovered yet. And in turn, one of my points was that if your dream is to invent an affordable light that doesn't need gas or wood, it sure helps a lot (some might call it lucky) if other people already did stuff that helps you.

How about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edison_Ore-Milling_Company "I'm going to do something now so different and so much bigger than anything I've ever done before people will forget that my name ever was connected with anything electrical." When it failed, he said "it's all gone, but we had a hell of a good time spending it." So how does this reconcile with his "passion for doing stuff until the goal is reached" and "his ingenuity [and] dedication to achieving his objective"? I guess if only he'd tried the 1001st way to mill iron ore, he surely would have succeeded!

I almost feel like I've knocked down a strawman by showing somebody wasn't perfect or 100% successful, yet that's another way to phrase my point that you are disagreeing with. There is no way to guarantee success at just any given goal. Sometimes the opportunity to have a good goal fall into your lap, or things to line up in support of the goal you chose, is just luck. If nothing else, there's an element of luck in whether your heart continues beating (even if your goal is within reasonable constraints of life expectancy and health.) Sure, if you care about something, work as hard as you can to find out whether you have that luck. But if you care about other things, maybe be ready to re-prioritize if the luck isn't coming.

after having worked for 15 years in several BigCo-s here i'd suppose that there are a bunch of S/EVPs there and they do what they typically do - whenever they see 2 things walking and quacking similarly [in their non-very discriminant "big picture" opinions] they immediately, like Pavlov dogs, starts to salivate for re-organization and mull the words like "synergy", "duplication", "efficiency", "unification of user experience across the whole range of devices", etc... I mean it is obvious to anybody that these 2 OS-es have majority of similar components that can be made common between them (anybody in Chrome or Android reading that phrase - i'd understand if you choked on your coffee right now :)
Wealth is ultimately the codification of power. A dollar is the representation of the power to get somebody else to give you a dollar's worth of value, or do a dollar's worth of stuff for you.

They are not perfectly linked, but I think they tend to come together. If someone has a lot of economic power, which they can use to get a bunch of people to give them things or do things for them, that's an avenue to political power. If someone has a lot of political power, they can leverage that to get economic power.

Your statement about how the original US government was closer to this than today doesn't sound right to me. Weren't only people^H^H^H^H^H^men^H^H^Hwhite men who owned land allowed to vote?
BCPL, actually, given the really minimal computer resources the group that started it started out with. BCPL had one data type, the word, which for any given port was chosen to be the natural machine word size, like C's int ideally is.

Team UNIX(TM) continued that approach, since they also had meager computers to start with, a PDP-7 with I suspect not a lot of memory, then a PDP-11(/20) with the extra memory bank option, then a PDP-11/45, which while a big and fast minicomputer in it's day, still only allowed 64 KiB of instructions, 48 KiB of data, and 8 KiB of stack for a program (the latter was the usual way to split up data space with its 8 KiB page MMU).
there are cheaper ways to go about it, but I used Foratis and cannot speak higher of their service and product. My partner also formed her own UG but used firma.de, hired a certified but inexpensive official translator, and it took nearly four months from start to finish.

Note that Foratis does not do the VAT registration for you, like some other shelf corporation providers. I didn't realize this and it became a minor pain. Whatever you do, budget for a competent Steuerberater. DIY is nearly impossible unless you have strong German skills, and even my native business owner friends don't DIY when it comes to Finanzamt dealings :)
The one I played, we did get some assistance with one puzzle we were fumbling on for quite a while. But the poster here specifically says they only had one minute left. I think that's a really short time to jump in on without feeling like you're railroading someone through the room.
Renegades I won't dispute. But I felt like Prelude was exactly what it set out to be and did quite well for that too. Both are doing remarkably well considering the budgets they've been given (even Renegades).

In this day and age we have the privilege to pay for what we want to see, if we feel like it. People love to complain, but seriously, if we aren't willing to pony up the cash for something, why should we expect to studios to produce what we want to see? Even paying for a Netflix subscription will split your money so many different ways that the studios aren't going to be getting that much at the end.

I thought "First Contact" was not a very good Trek movie. It always struck me as a movie that was made from a non-Star Trek script that was retroactively made into a Star Trek script. I also thought Captain Picard's behavior was wildly inconsistent with how he was portrayed in the show... not where he went all "Goodfellas" on the Borg in the holodeck, that was a fine character moment, but when he "mercy killed" one of his crew. This was something the TV Picard would never have done. He would have risked his life and the whole ship to save that one crewman and not just given up so early one... after all, he was dragged off and assimilated himself, but he was rescued and recovered.

"First Contact" also played fast and loose with established canon a lot more than any other movie had done. I didn't care for the portrayal of Cochrane as a drunk loser (although this has no bearing on James Cromwell's performance... he is always great).

There's nothing wrong with action in Trek... it's built into the concept, but the action was always less important than the Big Ideas... at least until some of the movies, and especially the vapid JJTrek reboots came along.

Even if ChromeOS got completely replaced by Android (which they seem to say it won't) surely it would merge/fork and not just get abandoned.
I understand why you are cynical, but I've been part of the BOSS linux team couple of years ago and I would say it was money well spent.
