Clever (YC S12) - San Francisco - onsite

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after four years, almost half of all schools in the US (64,000 schools) are using our platform. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things:

-a single place where schools can easily integrate, manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and

-a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of 120 (40 engineers) based in downtown SF, and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy working in (or would enjoy learning) Go, Node and React. More generally, we want people who are sharp, adaptable, and passionate about improving the way education works for everyone. In particular, we’re looking for senior engineers and engineering managers: empathetic leaders who are excited about teaching, coaching and professional development.

People tend to think their talking to spiritual things in some sense, but Americans heard God, or angels or demons, Indians tended to hear from ancestors or kin, Ghanaians from various spirits. Indians and Ghanaian found that many voices where helpful and positive. The Americans all found their voices to be violent and negative.

Yeah, it took a good 4-5 minutes for it to start doing anything on my phone... Would be nice if there was some fallback for when it's loading, so I'm not just staring at a 'blank' screen, wondering if anything is happening.
The Philosopher of Feelings
If you spend even a little time in Silicon Valley you would know how rare qualified people are and giving them a raise is such an insignificant proportion of the value lost if they quit. I'm not even talking about the money and time spent in bringing their replacement up to speed.
Another big problem is that if a hospital admits a patient for mental issues, they'll have to treat their physical ailments as well. Since the patients does not have any money or insurance, that comes out of the hospitals pocket. So they have an incentive to cut as many "harmless" people loose as possible.
I mean, it could be interpreted as a 'danger to self', but choosing that interpretation loses the hospital money. I'm saddened but not really surprised.

That may be the official standard, but in reality the evaluating psychiatrist commits you if he wants to, and they do sometimes err on the side of caution. So it's somewhat arbitrary depending on where you are and when.
Can you provide a source for the claim that Uber violates taxi laws?

As far as I'm aware, Uber doesn't violate taxi laws. Uber started out providing "black car" services which are not classified or regulated as taxis. Never have been, still aren't. Black car services are ones where you schedule a trip in advance, and there's no "hailing on the street". Being able to hail taxis is what makes them taxis and subject to regulation.

A lot of the drivers who first began working for Uber were existing black car drivers, and who operated their own black car business on the side. Many still do. Uber didn't come along and make this existing class of ride service illegal.

The only vehicles subject to taxi regulation are ones that offer rides to people on the street without prior arrangement, as far as I'm aware.

SV's major fault lies in its overuse of hyperbole, which it uses to trick itself into thinking it's revolutionary.

Isn't most of what we hear from SV just typical corporate bro-speak + double espresso?

This is an accurate summary. One thing I'd like to add is that there was nothing that the receiver did that provoked the regret. I read this assuming that something happened that caused it to not be worth it.

While this is a good view on this situation, the article is basically a guy saying that his comfort and security to have a long life is more important than the other guy's life. So I assumed that the other guy had done something to bring this to light but that is not the case. The donator had simply researched more and decided he was nervous.

To be clear: His interest in being secure in his life is fine and expected and I'm not judging him by what I said.
Angular 1.x yields pretty well to ES6 (classes and so forth) which can have your angular 1.x project looking similar to 2.x, at least for controller definitions. This is a good example [1] and the somewhat equivalent ng2 example (with extraneous TS stuff) [2]. Both those projects are also good examples of Angular1/2 conventions like having an imports folder, api/ui separation of concernts, and so forth.

[1]: https://github.com/Urigo/meteor-angular-socially/blob/step_1...

[2]: https://github.com/Urigo/meteor-angular2.0-socially/blob/ste...

IMO neither of those examples are good benchmarks for Angular 1 or 2 because they have boilerplate for interop with MeteorJS. Plain Angular2 is much cleaner FWIW.

> just rear Glacier horror stories

In Amazon's defense, their pricing is pretty clear and straightforward except for Glacier, which even they admit doesn't follow their pricing model for all the other services.

Google's is still the best though -- they automatically give you "bulk discounts" instead of having to buy them in advance like AWS, and their general philosophy is "your cheapest option should be to finish your workload as quickly as possible", as opposed to AWS, where you have to do some acrobatics to fit into their pricing models efficiently.
This just brought a huge smile to my face! Reminded me how connected we all are in this world. Curious to know how many of the 260K + users that were on as I was came from HN. Perhaps incorporate a visualisation of where users are from.

Why do you keep facetiously saying, "I am sorry."

> As for the data collection (enabled by default), I am sorry, this is nothing short of spyware. Quoting the EFF: location data, text input, voice input, touch input, webpages you visit, and telemetry data regarding your general usage of your computer, including which programs you run and for how long..

This definition is politically motivated to classify nearly every Mobile Application, Webpage, and desktop application and OS besides Linux as "spyware."

"I am sorry" but that's an outrageous definition.

> If Microsoft gets offended by their software being called spyware and adware, then they'd better not do it in the first place.

I am not a Microsoft employee nor do I own stock in the company. I am just tired of any conceivable rhetoric being reached for to try and discredit the fact that Linux has overwhelmingly fallen behind on performance and quality besides competitors in the desktop space. What's more, it's now being threatened in the server space.

Linux's only mass success stories exist because of an impressive amount of enterprise funding which utterly eclipses any open source efforts prior. These themselves are littered with analytics signals which people use to further guide the use of linux, and all "consumer facing" variants of Linux have a store, have small adds, etc.

If that's what it takes to get a competent OS for consumer hardware, then the Linux community is at least partially to blame for failing to provide a credible alternative.

You may continue to excuse such incompetence with flowery and vibrant rhetoric about how what's yours is yours (even though the reality is much more complicated). I got bored with it 10 years ago.
You'll probably have an easier time understanding it if you get rid of the idea that publicity/press/attention/investment/anything is based on merit.

But again, the average consumer isn't that concerned with those issues, because unlike this imaginary bird, the consumers could leave the cage anytime they wanted in theory. They've accepted a trade of control and privacy, for ease and convenience, and I don't know that it's not a choice they shouldn't make until someone can find a way to balance the two.

How Uber Manages a Million Writes per Second (Mesos and Cassandra)
I admire the author's selflessness. At the same time, it seemed easier to be selfless as a teenager, probably for similar reasons for why it's easier to draft 18-year-olds than it is 28-year-olds. Given young persons willingness to sacrifice for the greater cause without realizing that life extends well past your 30s and 40s, I wonder if more shouldn't be done to let young donors think of the risks, so that their naïveté isn't something that the system takes advantage of.

The author's right to ask for better data and tracking of donors. That said, his current worries are likely to be heavily informed by selection bias:

> Five years after the surgery, when I was 23 and getting ready to go to medical school, I began working in a research lab that was looking at kidney donors who had gone on to develop kidney failure. For that research, I talked to more than 100 such donors. In some cases, the remaining kidneys failed; in others, the organ became injured or developed cancer. The more I learned, the more nervous I became about the logic of my decision at age 18 to donate.

If you spend a lot of time talking only to donors where things have gone wrong, yeah, you'll be paranoid. Reminds me of being a cops reporter in which you strongly associate certain neighborhoods with shootings and murders because, professionally, those incidents are the only times you ever visit those neighborhoods.
> The company was trying to solve that by hiring more developers, and all it was doing was making things worse.
