> The USSR was communist in the sense that it was lead by people who strongly believed in communism

Genuine belief is hard to assess, especially in an end-state goal like Communism that is remote from the immediate means sought to pursue it. What is absolutely clear, though, is that Leninism was fundamentally divorced, both in it's understanding of the prerequisites circumstances for the socialist step on the route to communism and in it's understanding of the implementation of that step from the form of Communism (Marxism) which it claimed to be an expression of.

>Blockchain apps are too expensive to operate vs paying for traditional bandwidth and hdd space.

As for whether or not I would pay to post? The answer is maybe. It is certainly not "100% no." I'm willing to keep an open mind.

Sure thing!

Yeah, I did ask around in their area with fellow engineer-y types. They are a legit company, and the webapp wasn't a way to get free work. Think of it as a standards approach, rather than bulletpoint resumes that verge on untruth.

To be honest, I'd prefer they have a sit-down with me. They can do their fizzbuzz or linked list test, but I want to get a feel of the problems they're fighting with. I've always liked deep technical discussions, and how I would do it vs how they would/did it. It's a bit more subjective, but I would think that discussing technical aspects and asking how I (interviewee) would do it.

I offered an IoT project Ive developed myself in lieu of it, so they could comment on my code quality. They declined that, and wanted their webapp.

They're missing out :) Although I've an interview with GitLab coming up. Everything I've seen how they operate and treat their people is just awesome. Regardless if I'm a good fit for the position they're offering, I still think highly of them. :)

> guess it requires a degree of sensitivity that I'm not bothered with - sort of like people who claim they can't hear mp3 because they can only enjoy CD quality audio (not saying it's not true for them, just that luckily I enjoy both the same).

Maybe its better on other platforms, but on linux there's 30ms keyboard input latency in vscode, compared to the avg of 6ms I get in sublime.

The perceived difference in responsiveness is significant.

Check for gallstones.

I had that, crippling stomach pain, which was initially diagnosed as either gastritis or possibly an ulcer. However, after dealing with it for a couple years, I ended up in the emergency room. They ran an ultrasound, and found a number of gallstones lodged in the duct that connects the gallbladder to the stomach. Ended up having my gallbladder removed.

Items that I remember triggering massive pain attacks include pizza (I thought it was acid from the tomato sauce, but it was fat from the cheese), and after eating a large gyro (lots of fat in it apparently). Fat causes the gallbladder to start pumping, and if there are stones it will lodge them in the duct causing the pain.
Carbon Lighthouse | San Francisco | Senior Software Engineer | Full Time | ONSITE

About Carbon Lighthouse:
https://www.carbonlighthouse.com/about-us/ | https://www.carbonlighthouse.com/about-us/careers/
Carbon Lighthouse is on a mission to stop climate change by making it easy and profitable for building owners to eliminate carbon emissions caused by wasted energy. The company’s unique approach to Efficiency Production goes deep into buildings to uncover and continuously correct hidden inefficiencies that add up to meaningful financial value and carbon elimination that lasts.

We have been around since 2010 and are a team of 55 people spread over SF and NYC. However, the software team is currently only four people. We have had great success proving out our process and tech and are now looking to grow the software team to help us scale and have a global impact.

We use our software to ingest data from hundreds of sensors we deploy in buildings, analyze that data to understand how the building is operating and using energy, and create thermodynamic models to quantify the energy use and savings we can achieve. After we implement the projects we use our platform again to provide ongoing monitoring of a building to ensure we are getting the energy savings we guarantee over the next 10 years.

About the position and to apply:
https://www.carbonlighthouse.com/seniorsoftwaredeveloper/
We are looking to hire two senior software developers to not only write code, but help us brainstorm and architect our analytics and modeling software platform. This person will have a great ability to influence the direction of the software and the stack, and have ownership over large portions of our platform. This person will also have the opportunity to be a leader on the team and mentor or manage people as we continue to hire.

Our stack is a mix of Node and Python on the backend, React on the frontend, and encourage anyone interested in the position to apply, regardless of what languages they have most experience with.

The position will be onsite at our SF office, which is a 2 minute walk from the Montgomery St BART station.
I understand, I'm just looking to hear from someone who has received a response. Have you been requesting applications for 3 months but haven't reached out to anyone?

I think we are seeing combination of short-sighted self-interest and "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", together with a willingness to use irrational arguments to advance those interests.

There have been many historical precedents, but perhaps none more so than the French revolution, which went through several cycles of this. The Terror only ended when the surviving politicians all realized that they were more likely to be executed than hold on to executive power, if they carried on this way.

> Lenin at least was smart enough to keep some elements of the market economy around

No he was not smart enough. He pushed the idea so far that they were about to collapse and then in a emergency move they liberalized because they had no other option.

He and everybody else hated allowance that they had to make for the market. All of them absolutely hated it and the thing they debate most is how to get ride of the market.

> If Lenin didn't kick the bucket too soon, the whole experiment would probably last a bit longer.

It was not so much a 'experiment' as something that was forced on them because they did not have enough power. The NEP was collapsing because even within the NEP the USSR did so many counterproductive things, it could not have continued so much longer.

Stalin did exactly what everybody wanted, but most people disagree with him about if they could actually do it.

What? This is just plain wrong. Walking slowly burns 100 calories in an hour, if you weigh 100 lbs. Most people will use up more, just walking. Heck, if you weigh enough (somewhere just south of 300lbs), you "burn" 100 calories an hour while sleeping.

Moderate exercise (let's say, an easy jog) will burn closer to 600 calories per hour for a 170-lb, 5'9" man.

How else do you think Michael Phelps put away 8000 calories per day while training, if not by burning it via exercise?
In Romania you would get arrested if you had a walkie-talkie. The fixed phones were installed only in the homes of people that were part of the regime (even if you had a very simple role like handling money). They invested some on PCs but only until it became clear that they allowed easy access to information. Then it was dead.

So in my view no communist country would invest in a national network because that would make information easier to transmit and this would undermine the regime. Keep people in the dark and they might be happy with their misserable life. Even people closer to the regime believed they had a good life because they received bananas and oranges before every Christmas...

Have to second this. I am actually in the market for multiple of the listed skills, but I'm going to pass on this specifically because your interview process seems like a huge time sink.

You could cut it down to Phone interview, Take-home coding assignment (or) Pair programming interview, Technical Interview(s).

The logical and aptitude test is quite redundant considering all the programming rounds before it.

How do you do a 'Cultural Interview'? Isn't cultural fit something you should have your interviewers noticing in the other rounds of interviewing?

And whatever is a 'Social Economic Justice round'? Sounds like a round where the HR tries to guilt you into taking a lower salary :P
