States Title | Founding Tech Lead

$150-200k

VCs: Foundation Capital | Bloomberg Beta | Fifth Wall

We have a rare opportunity to DESIGN AND BUILD OUR FIRST PRODUCT COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH, BUT WITH THE RESOURCES OF A WELL-FUNDED SERIES A COMPANY.

We are reinventing the $14 billion market for title insurance as a first step on our mission to make homeownership simpler, safer, and more accessible.

We are a diverse team of entrepreneurs who have founded successful start-ups, led initiatives at big companies (Google, Kayak, McKinsey), and played material roles in government (White House).

We are looking for a seasoned Tech Lead who will own all technical decisions - from architecture and platforms down to code style and design patterns. You will partner closely with our Engineering Manager, who is taking on responsibility for recruiting, people management, and project management.

You have architected multiple products and systems before and are excited to guide an A+ team to success on a greenfield opportunity.

1) You seem to have gotten your legal advice from Badger, and not Saul.

Forcing the narc to snort coke is not a viable means of weeding them out.

2) In places where it is illegal to buy, you have to provide anonymity for the buyers. Looks like you're already making plans to do just that. Good for you. You're now no longer capable of keeping your contractors safe.

My advice to you: Commit one crime at a time. Even Uber managed to do that. :P
My gut says that they'd have a lot of repeat customers.
1bios | Senior Software Engineer | Truckee/Lake Tahoe, CA | FULL-TIME, ONSITE or REMOTE

About 1bios:

* We provide a health management platform for healthcare providers and health insurers

* Our products help our customers deliver tech-enabled programs that support the best health of their members using realtime tracking, monitoring, scoring/analytics, incentives, more (this is part of the ongoing shift in healthcare business models towards what is called "Value Based Care").

We are seeking a Senior Engineer to join our team. As a senior member of our small, early stage company you would have ample opportunities to make a direct impact on decisions about our stack, product, processes and team culture moving forward.

* Current stack is Ruby on the backend, Javascript+Typescript on the front end.

* We love Ruby, but typical Ruby idioms (ie: magic; implicit, mutable state everywhere) not so much. Our style is far more functional and explicit than a typical Ruby codebase

* Must have enough experience to work well independently, and understand the balance between engineering and business requirements

Private browsing wouldn't save any browsing information, which is something I want. Also, using another profile would reveal that the profile exists in the first place. Using the WSL is much more hidden.

So why don't you have a public profile on Patreon? I mean I can't see how much you make on your Patreon page.
I'm the guilty party, though not of the "Ruby engineer" title... these days I'm a Python developer that identifies as a Scala developer :)

I botched the copy pasta of the embedded code snippet container. All fixed up!
We are going to take a HARD anti-drug stance to keep the platform clean and reduce issues. Obviously we cannot stop users from consuming, but we will not allow it as a service (no "420 friendly" listing). But introducing drugs puts a higher strain on our security forces, and just makes things messier all around. It'll invite more public criticism. What we are doing improves the lives and safety of sex workers. Adding drugs to the mix detracts.

We are going to accept cash as well as cryptocurrencies (preferably ZCash or Monero). Cash reduces the barrier to entry as people already pay for services in cash. In some markets, in limited cases (higher-cost workers) we may accept credit cards, too, but it's tricky. A lot of workers already do, so it's possible, just a pain.

I created somehow the same thing as an npm package: dynamic-json-resume. It requires you to just maintain a json file containing all the different sections, and can generate pdf and html with an extra scrollable section. The code is not the prettiest but it is still working: https://github.com/jrm2k6/dynamic-json-resume
I always assumed founders put at least some of their own money into the venture. Isn't that the norm?

Were I a VC I wouldn't back someone without skin in the game.
Good point actually. Do you think that additional input for bonuses would do the trick? Though I have no idea how to account non-cash bonuses (they do have a cash equivalent, but I'm pretty sure that people won't bother to convert).

No I agree, but then again that's a dollar a day and apparently he could buy a house in Seattle out of DAS so.. there must be enough people that are fine with that price to make a living.
Thanks.

The domain suggestion engine was a fun component. It's not all that complicated... it really just tries a bunch of prefixes and suffixes on your keyword (plus some geo suggestions, if it can "find" you) and shows you what is (probably) available.

I've also found some gems using it as well.
Your snarky implication that a prescription was needed for any blood test in the USA was factually incorrect. I know of no state that has such a blanket requirement.

Rollers were my immediate thought as to how to get the juice out. Would love one of their engineers to chime in and talk about the reasons they built it that way.
Sure, Inc | https://sureapp.com | New York, NY or Santa Monica, CA | Full Time | $120-$180k

At Sure, our vision is to change the way billions of people interact with insurance. Our engineers are developing the experiences that will change how current and future generations protect their valuables. We're looking for team members who are big thinkers in all areas, including platform, mobile apps, artificial intelligence, and UI design.

We're looking to hire server and platform engineers who can oversee the design, development, and maintenance of our different backend product. You'll be a core member of the team working with the Product, Design, and Research teams to build and iterate on new features.

Roles: Server Engineer (Junior and Senior Level Roles Available)
That was my interpretation as well.

This is the result of the line of thinking that goes from "we're against bad people" to "those who don't agree with us are bad people" to "it's OK to punch bad people".

Funny that it mentions TaskRabbit, which hasn't failed (I know because I work there). We pivoted a long time ago sure but that's very different from the fate of the other companies..and the title of the article.
This is fantastically well-written. Great insights.
You don't mind paying for a $700 phone but you have a problem paying for a second $9.99 adapter?
May be you are right, I'll have to meditate on that one.

Edit:

It's a complicated situation. Google offers a great carrot/stick to get people to adopt AMP. Publishers adopt it. Other platforms start using it. A lot of users like this format. Some users hate it and the idea of it.

As I've mentioned before, I do think that Twitter was trying to do the right thing for their users given the situation we are in.

It would be nice to have "request Desktop version" option for AMP, but not sure if it's too much to ask.
You need one cloud service to tell you what your dynamic IP is, but we've had that service since at least 2001.
That's brilliant - thanks for sharing that.
Most cab drivers lease the medallion from the medallion holder typically (including the car).. so it's the same. The medallion holder has no incentive to drive if they can rent out the right to drive. That was the game until uber. Uber could and probably will just buy all the medallions. Or if not necessary the medallions will just be effectively worthless.
Right, I was assuming sjg007 was talking about tax treatment of the capital gains if you hold onto the stock after the RSUs vest.
At the right price point, probably.

On demand juice for < 50c/serving? Sure.

$2-$3/serving? Nope.

We use kcups at the coworking space here, and at 30-35c, they're worth the convenience. 60c? $1? Nope - we'll just brew a big pot.

But... we can get kcups from dozens of vendors with various flavors and price points. If a juicer machine had low price points (original machine and packs) that were available from multiple vendors... yeah, I'd go for it. But it's gotta have all these other factors (flexible vendors and low prices) which I'm not sure anyone wants to target.

Can't you just use vector math for this?
As much as I like your boldness and ambition for a total anonymous company you forget one thing: Once you work with people (what you do, your team has five members you wrote) you will have conflicts and then you might be blackmailed by your own team.

However, you shouldn't care since you are operating in and for countries where your operation is legal. So, why all this anonymization buzz? There is a founder who does what do publicly as a female CEOs creating huge press awareness (of course not in the US).

I swear, you can predict the quality of a law as the inverse of how good the name sounds.

If this law were going to limit sex trafficking, it would have a name like "Revisions to the Prosecution of Certain Interstate Crimes". But no, it's got a big, gaudy name that poisons the well on any opposition whatsoever. So, predictably, it will either endanger innocents or restrict basic rights. It's like god damn clockwork.

I do this pretty regularly as do many people who rely on public transit.
I eat year+ old beef all the time: I buy an entire year's supply at once and freeze it. Tastes fine.

What I really would like is a "picked on" label on fruits & vegetables. A cucumber from my garden is fine 3 weeks after picking. One from the grocery store is barely edible a few days after purchase.
AMP is such an egregious attack on open standards it shouldn't be possible. The fact that it is shows the system is broken.

The whole point of having a system is to prevent short term interests from trumping long term health. Tomorrow any monopolist can offer a short term fix for a fraction with the public lapping it up only to run down competitors and capture the market. This is well known monopolist behavior with strong systemic safeguards which curiously are not working.

People keep on complaining about heavy web pages but what happened to faith in markets and letting users decide?
Surely if a website is too heavy people will automatically seek alternatives. So there is a contradiction here, does the market work or does it encourage a race to the bottom? Perhaps without Google's monopolist intervention a more open less self interested solution could have emerged.

Google is becoming a monster with an obsessive insatiable appetite for information and knowledge. A push back is long overdue or we will pay with private self serving entities controlling access to our own information and knowledge.
Armory | San Mateo, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

http://go.Armory.io/YC-Apply

Armory is a YC W17 startup called based in San Mateo (very near Caltrain). We are working on making cloud software deployments, safe, trivial and ultimately boring. Essentially we're bringing the sophistication of a Netflix or Google style deployment to anyone.

Armory's core product is wrapped around the open source project Spinnaker. If open source is your thing, we might a good fit for you.

Today we are looking to double the size of our eng team. If you are interested in making deployments less painful, we should chat. If you are a polyglot engineer, we should definitely chat. If you are familiar with AWS or similar dynamic cloud-based configuration and architecture, we should absolutely chat.

We’re small and growing but we’ve got paying customers (including a Fortune 100 company) and a strong culture.

Diversity and collaboration are important parts of who we are. We value creativity, ability to prioritize and the importance of sharing knowledge.

Our CEO wrote a great post here about our long term vision you can find here:

VISA: It depends. We can usually transfer a work visa you already have. We can only sponsor new visas on a case by case basis.
Doctors are a somewhat different case, at least in the US, because medical boards (per specialty) control supply by limiting the number of new doctors being trained (via annual limits on Residency seats.) It is more of a cartel in that respect. Imagine if we only trained 100 Java engineers a year and the existing Java engineers themselves decided on how many they train per year...that would be the analogy.
1: I suppose it's possible that enough undercover cops are going to have sex with strangers to make a bust. I agree this does not work for clients (often male) - a cop won't mind having to touch someone for a bit. But a provider (often female), having sex with someone for a sting? I'm not sure that'll be common.

On top of that, for them to collect more evidence, they'd have to continuously engage in having sex with strangers. If they stop, they'll get us to investigate as they'd be red-flagged right away (just like in Uber, if the driver drops you off in the middle of nowhere, you're going to open a support ticket right away). All this to get a few buying prostitution charges?

2: We provide privacy, not anonymity for both parties. We will verify identities to each provider's desired level. The verification stays within Pink's platform and isn't exposed to the provider. So the client can know we're not sharing this info, and the provider knows we have checked out the client. We show a picture of the other person when they meet. If it's not the same as who we verified, they can cancel the date or request security. (We have an article that will go out today explaining our secure in-person date protocol).
I did something similar to a modem supplied by Cox to enable bridge mode a few years ago. It required going to one of the modem settings pages, using browser tools to uncomment some html in the source of one of the forms, and then just submitting the form.

I remember when my scientician friends started switching from SGI to multiple super-beefed-up Dells in the early 2000's. They could get five monster custom Dell machines for the price of one Octane or Indigo or whatever. And they delivered better performance. (Or so they told me.)
It's a scheduled hyperparameter like the learning rate. All my scalar/non-architectural hyperparameters are optimized using DQNs.
I know people who are making mid six figures working for Google-tier companies. But I don't think there are very many of those kinds of people - hundreds, maybe. And these are people with highly specialized skillsets in addition to their software development skills - pattern recognition, for instance. You're not going to get a job like that because you know Python really well.

Asking a software developer "Why aren't you making $400k?" is a lot like asking a random mid-level manager why he isn't the CEO of a Fortune 100 company.
Not to mention the time it takes to think it up, i.e. make the design decisions.

"That's not writing, that's typing", as someone once put it.
I still don't get how there's any way holding it instead of selling it reduces taxes.

If you sell on vest, you pay income tax and 0 capital gains. If you sell after vest, you pay the same amount of income tax, and possibly nonzero capital gains.
That's correct.

In some situations, it's enough to prove an equation is Lipschitz-continuous on a range. Example, y=x^2 is lipschitz continuous on x=[0,1].
After watching the teardown video - I really want one of these things - very impressive.
Their failure was in trying to "squeeze" a hardware-as-a-service/recurring revenue model into a device that was better suited as a single purchase appliance.

If you could have just shoved fresh fruit into it, they would have been ok.

But whoever talked investors out of $118M probably also sold everyone on the H-A-A-S model, which didn't quite fit for this product.
Yup. $150 sold vehicle. Its a hassle right now its all manual i run everything off FB messenger. I do plan to flip it soon. Trying to grab a slice from cars, auto trader for used tesla listings.

Juice? Someone actually spent their money to fund a J-U-I-C-E startup?

Oh boy.
More than that. If you make that kind of money you're going to pay a higher percentage of it in taxes.
Sometimes IBM are better than the alternative. Hard to believe in the HN bubble, I know, but there you are.

(The trick is not to end up buying a bunch of rubbish IBM products while you're getting the one you want.)
In France, licenses have been given for free in limited numbers, and with the right to resell them on the market. So their price have increased up to 200-350k€. So some people made a lot of money there (and they one accept cash, so you know what can happen with the taxes). Recent buyers are in a bad position because they get it for a high price and now risk their value to drop because of the recent competition.
I've got a certain painful sympathy for Lovecraft characters these days. There's nothing quite like the feeling of having to win every battle ad infinitum, against an opponent whose every gain will be permanent.
I've heard of several engineers at the bigger companies who make 7 figures, but basically they are not only engineers working on active projects but are also putting their names on patents.
The user/username is really "admin", or do you mean they create a default account that's an administrator? (never used the self-hosted version.)
