Hello Alfred | Sr Full Stack Engineer (Full-time) | NYC | On-site | https://hello-alfred-1.workable.com/jobs/214124

We are seeking a Full Stack Engineer with the ability and passion for building solutions for human-centered problems that are created at the intersection of human behavior and technology.
As part of a growing Hello Alfred engineering team you will have a direct and immediate influence on the technology choices, data architecture, and scalability of the platform. You will help develop our engineering philosophy and practices to lead the construction of a new type of service. Hello Alfred offers the opportunity to work closely with all aspects of a multi-sided business from our operations team, customers and - the stars of the business - the Alfred Client Managers

Experience with Elixir, Phoenix, and/or functional languages is a big plus as much of the core platform is being migrated over. You are capable working across the full stack including front-end JS frameworks like React, Ember, Angular or similar.
Nice to have: some experience with iOS and/or Swift.
Our Stack: Migrating away from NodeJS/Mongo to Elixir, Postgres, and React. We’re deployed on Heroku.

Ideal Candidates would meet many of the following qualifications:
At least 3 years’ experience across the full web stack: you can write SCSS, keep logic out of controllers, and properly index your database tables. You also have empathy, taste, and hobbies outside of engineering.
Ideally you have shipped production code using Node JS and have a familiarity working on a web stack powered by Express or similar. Having a good working knowledge of modern Javascript is essential.
Nice to Haves: Experience with Elixir - we’ll train you up. iOS experience (Swift and Objective-C). An interest in UX and hospitality.
About Alfred: At Hello Alfred we believe in creating an experience that empowers our customers to maximize their time by automating all of life’s little interruptions. We are dedicated to building solutions that learn from our customers’ behaviors and desires to delight them - not just by incorporating technology, but by making a truly human experience.
I like LibreOffice and I support it with donations too, but many people are already used to MS Office. And LibreOffice Calc, the one I use most, has big time usability problems and bugs. It doesn't have the same keyboard shortcuts as MS Excel. In fact, it chooses keyboard shortcuts that are very different from MS Excel, making usage even more cumbersome even though it hasn't adopted the Ribbon interface from MS and still has the standard pull down menus. It still doesn't have copy paste working well (sometimes, whatever I copy from another program cannot be pasted in it - this has been the case on Windows 7 and Windows 10 for at least a couple of years or longer across versions of LibreOffice 4.x/5.x). In my limited experience, there is no true competitor for MS Excel for those who have used MS Excel.
Hey everyone, sorry if this is a bit off-topic.

Every month I scan the previous months’ Who Is Hiring thread and build stats around the most popular languages.

Hope someone finds this useful. Constructive feedback welcome.

I'm hoping people here are smart enough not to actually believe this nonsense. Tesla is BY FAR the leader in autonomous driving
When will there be a streamlined install and usage flow?
When Conspiracy and Forfeiture Law Intersect
Police investigating Muslim man's wrongful arrest over terrorism
The kind of people who buy raptors and gt350s are a tiny fraction of the market compared to the people who just want to get to work. Tesla isn't interested in car enthusiasts, they want to be the default answer to the question "How do I get from point A to point B for $1?"
Elon Musk enters the world of brain-computer interfaces
I've read that rationale, and it makes sense, but it almost makes it sound like the organization is humoring a bad dev without oversight for months upon months until they suddenly realize their inability. Maybe they should spend more time actually running their company instead of interviewing candidates all day.
I thought "instantaneous" essentially be on the order of 100-200 ms given human reaction times, but apparently we can visually detect latencies down to the 10-20 ms scales.
Thanks. I was just about to ask.
I agree totally that HN is not that kind of forum, I was more picking up on the point that community does not require names to exist. Sorry if you weren't trying to make that point!

My use for the timing capabilities of the 240Hz camera has been in measuring the shutter speeds of antique film cameras, which tend to get slower with age. So I find myself using a 240Hz camera from 2016 to calibrate and use a film camera from 1941.
As I recall, Google tried a laxer approach early in Android's history, and the quality results were pretty disastrous.

"The more I listened to her story, the more I realized that, all this time, Lisa wasn’t trying to steal my identity. She was trying to find her own."

Agree--the whole article has a very bizarre "I got a new pet, and sometimes she pees on the rug, but she's just a puppy!" feeling.
Do any of these positions allow for semi-remote work (e.g., 2-3 days/week in the office)?

Also, can you share anything at all regarding the salary ranges?
Is the number huge, though? Retail stock-picking is done through mutual funds and active ETFs, which are typically owned by a larger outfit like Blackrock or Franklin Templeton, so the active stock picking is done by a select few managers of the fund. If that goes away, Blackrock or FT can still sell indexes and variety of bond funds.

On the hedge fund site extreme churn is fairly typical and considered part of the job. Well-known pickers (known mainly due to their windfall successes of the past and survivor bias) like Stephen Cohen, Carl Icahn and John Paulson are motivated less by the need to live paycheck to paycheck and more by the gambler's high.
Reports like this are meaningless, because they make up arbitrary categories, and then assign them arbitrary weights. This one is especially bad because it has categories that are almost impossible to judge objectively, like "Strategy".

Reminds me of San Francisco's report on the Central Subway. They created eight categories, equally weighted, of which one was "cost". Of course, everything in construction trades off against cost. So the most expensive option always came out ahead, because it "gained" in seven categories but "lost" in one.

OS/2 never required a PS/2.
Vikings colonies survived on Greenland for hundreds of years, so while chuckle-worthy I don't think this is a reasonable explanation.
I get that. It just seems like that specific metric could have been over-weighted seeing as how Ford and GM were at the top of the list..
Add in the 5 largest oil producers, the 5 largest electric utilities, and the 5 largest public transit systems and you'll get there.
Last night I was going to use my video camera to measure the startup latency of a vibration motor by comparing it to a "Power On" LED. So this HN post is great timing.

Listening to the description of applying Gene Drive in the radiolab episode sounds worrying as a layman. First order manipulation with CRISPR sounds reasonable, but then contemplation of Gene Drive, the adding of the editing mechanism itself into the genetic material of a mosquito in the wild seems wildly irresponsible. Now you're running an experiment x millions (billions?) of variations where if or when a virus breaches a given mosquitos cell defenses, they could potentially pick up the crispr gene themselves and then one could be a cross-species jump away from re-introducing that same cross-editing gene into other species (including humans).

Trump Visa Changes Toughen Hiring of Foreign Programmers
Excel is the biggest one, for sure. I still think there are many who really prefer the features and functionality of PowerPoint and Outlook, though. I haven't seen that be the case for Word, but Word has never really been a significant part of my work flow.
It is true that because we are bound by our limitations as humans, we communicate, build and maintain trust, etc. better in person. There are studies that have shown that without direct face to face contact, trust gradually erodes.

But iirc a related study showed the relative effectiveness of voice or video communication, or once or twice a month face time holding back this trust erosion. So while complete remote work may actually have real detriments, it should be feasible to mitigate these drawbacks.
Tesla has already announced plans to build vans, pickups, and semis.
The goal is to reduce everything. Complexity is uncertainty, at some point we all throw up our hands and let the chips fall.

Every modern language compiles down to insane amounts of code. There is simply no way it's all correct, even at the compiler level. The legion of developers looking into it doesn't give me comfort either, because the size means it has to be partitioned at some point.

Competitive edges are essential in the modern information economy. This Bowling Alley succeeds or fails based on my own wits.
Nice! I released a Python BK-tree module on PyPI recently, along with a write-up about how I'm using it for duplicate image detection:

I'm not saying you're wrong but do you have anything other than anecdotal data?
I actually really loved the choice and freedom we used to have and Android, and thought it was a valuable trade off for platform unity. Now we have a very homogenous platform that is still horribly insecure... The worst of both worlds.

Google uses their agreements with OEMs to force them to bundle apps and including Google's branding, and protect their business, but refuses to use those agreements to ensure even basic security for their users.
Note: To "suffer from" means to be affected by, in some detrimental sense. It isn't the same as "to suffer", and the author didn't use the phrase the elicit sympathy the way you seem to interpret her.

Reading between the lines, "suffering from a lack of diversity" really means that it's a monoculture, and that this is not good for the city.
LAPTOP-PROMOTII-OFERTE- REDUCERI
A lot of these tech company valuations seem pretty questionable, not just Tesla's.
I've had similar thoughts (though not as well-fleshed out as yours) since the election.

Conservatives hate liberals far more than we dislike them. I think there is revenge on their minds, for sure. I have no idea in what form it will take, but I'm pretty sure it's being plotted.

Rents and housing prices in the Bay Area are insane and unless something is done, it will cause serious ripples in society and serious unintended consequences.
Which version of Hermione are your referring to? Eliezer did write one of them after all…
The difference here is that we are talking about registered tax paying catholics vanishing without leaving corpses over a period of maybe 10 years. I.E. the record suggest that the last holdouts did not die on Greenland but boarded a ship that never got recorded back in Europe.(though that don't mean they never made it back)

The Kensington rune stone with dated in a system common to the Christian viking age around the time when one of the expedition launched from Norway to find the missing tax payers adds to the mystery presuming that the Kensington runestone is genuine.

Interesting. Why do you assume it's money as opposed to, say, federal prosecutors having over a decade and a half of hindsight to conclude that the Microsoft antitrust suit was a giant fiasco that cost a great deal of money and time and, ultimately, never had the desired effect?
So we shouldn't believe something an enormous corporation says? Shocking.
Looking Back on How and Why Y2K Hysteria Got So Out of Hand
It's easy and comforting to dismiss the idea as hyperbole, but there is a lot of concrete evidence pointing in the other direction.

He's not Hitler--he's something new. But anyone who has studied history a bit recognizes similarities in rhetoric and tactics. Given that he is the commander and chief of the most powerful military in history, it seems natural to ask whether there might be also be similarities when it comes to political and societal goals. Given the stakes involved, I can't see how playing it down and hoping for the best is a wise approach.
> But I mean, couldn't GE do that too? Or Samsung/Murata/Vishay/Maxwell/Panasonic/etc.?

Sure. So could Martha Stewart, or Jeff Bezos.

That hard part is actually doing it and doing it well. Is GE better positioned to do it than Tesla? Not really. It's a complex problem involving advanced software, engineering, branding, customer service, talent retention, supply chain, and myriad other challenges. Tesla is better at some of these things, worse at others. But they're going for it. GE, GM, et al don't appear to be moving aggressively towards these goals at all.

The only relevant data you could possibly look at is the disengagement reports they are legally required to provide. And looking at those, it's Google... and then nobody else for a long, long, long time.
That just makes the problem circular. How do you find these managers that are good at judging people?

Also, you're clearly laying out metrics: communication ability and timeliness. They're just somewhat generic metrics.

Put a probability on the IF and multiply it by the revenue of the oil companies and you've got a valuation for Tesla.
