United Income | FinTech Startup | Full Stack Engineer - Node and/or Python background | Onsite in Washington, DC | Full Time

We’re hiring! United Income is a fintech startup looking to add engineering talent to our team. Email us at engineering@unitedincome.com if this describes you.

• Do you care about delivering quality product to your users?

• Is providing maintainable, tested code to your fellow engineers (and future self) important to you?

• Do you have a deep understanding of Javascript or Python?

• When you encounter a problem that isn't neatly packaged and fully defined, are you passionate about digging into it and refining a solution?

If you can answer yes to these questions, you'll find working here exciting and engaging.

At United Income, we value collaboration. We encourage one another to build phenomenal things, and individually we’re all passionate about doing our best work. You'll be responsible for solving some hard problems in consumer finance. As you tackle these problems head on, you'll work with others across the company to make sure you have all the information you need.

Some of our engineering roles involve cool mathematical modeling. If you can engineer and you also have fun thinking about math, we have some opportunities for you that can be difficult to find in standard engineering jobs.
We are committed to equal opportunity and diverse hiring. Even more important than hiring is supporting our diverse team, and we are dedicated to equitable pay and transparency.

As you know, this industry moves FAST. If you have 10 years of Node.js experience...well we think you’re lying ;) We don't expect you to be familiar with our entire tech stack (buzzwords: Javascript/Python/React/AWS/CI/CD/Git). What’s important is your willingness and ability to learn. We want to see your curiosity and passion for what’s out there.

At United Income, you'll have access to a great benefits package:

• 100% employee coverage and 60% dependent coverage for our reference plan on DC Health Link, dental insurance, and vision insurance

• HSA contributions ($500 individual/$1000 family) - high deductible plan required (this is included in our reference plan)

• Short Term Disability and Life insurance

• 21 days/4 weeks paid vacation per year

• 401k plan with matching

• Gym, rooftop terrace, in-building showers, bike storage

• Up to 4 weeks annual paid parental/family leave

• Close to DC’s Red/Blue/Silver/Orange lines
Hard to tell. The new tax plan is supposed to get rid of AMT which could be good for exercising options, but it also might get rid of the SALT deduction which would be pretty bad for CA taxpayers. Hard to say for sure.

> is to compile down to an emulation of a straightforward machine (I really like MSP430 for this)

What exactly do you mean by this? Direct object code emission?

> the emulator is easier than the compiler, by a lot

Yeah, definite +1 there. For most simple machines it really is not much more than a loop with a switch on the opcode where the cases update the CPU state.
I really enjoy audiobooks. A great option if you drive.

That's a YC job ad, those are different from submissions (which the parent is to be talking about) and are the only public "benefit" YC companies get on HN.
The possibility is there, but one might also have imagined that Microsoft, Nokia, and Blackberry would be dominating the smartphone market today.
I think that new neo-gothic campus building looks fantastic. I think it is much bolder to build something like this, than it is to build yet another swoopy glass and steel "contemporary" building, which is the norm for any institutions without any self-confidence.

Also, those buildings will age gracefully and never look stupid. We know this because there are thousands of similar buildings, from the middle ages to the revivals in the 1800s and 1900s that still don't look stupid after multiple centuries.
Elastic's reviews on Glassdoor are stellar: https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Elastic-Reviews-E751551.ht.... I work with the parent on Kibana and the reviews don't even tell the full story of how nice it is to work here.
I don’t fully understand your argument. Because China has the great firewall they’re worse? I don’t really see how the firewall relates to surveillance in this way. I agree the firewall is a human rights issue in the way that US prisons are a human rights issue, but I’d be hesitant to say that because China is bad in this one way, the fact that they perform surveillance is made worse. The US is the global leader in surveillance as far as I’m aware. We keep 0-day backdoors in computer hardware that was designed here, and there’s some uncertainty as to whether we arranged for those backdoors or only found them (NSLs make it difficult/impossible to know).

Further you dismiss the parent comment as implying the US and China’s surveillance are equivalent, but I don’t see that as the claim. There is a lot of shocked surprise in the news when we find that China is doing something we don’t like with our data or computers, but we ignore that the NSA builds massive data centers for data on the global population, we kill people based on that data, and we also engage in a global hacking war. And I think it’s important to make sure that when we talk about China, we’re also willing to talk about the US. If we never talk about what we do, someone else’s bad behavior will look warped.

The US and China are not equivalent, but it’s hard to talk about one fairly in this context without mentioning the other.
Your quote stopped right where I started to get interested, so for the benefit of others:

> At the same time, city mice as a whole also seem to be evolving new traits that mice from rural areas outside the city lack: genetic mutations that may help them neutralize toxic metals in polluted soil, for example, or speed up their sperm in response to the intense sexual competition in their overcrowded metropolitan homes.

I wonder why they seem to be a little hedgy around the toxic-metal-mutation bit. I'm guessing they suspect that that's what the mutation does, but don't particularly want to feed the poor mice toxic-metal laden soil just to confirm.

A little bit of luck is really helpful in allowing for diversity in game flow. Something like a mechanic where resources open up on one of 3 random turns means it's harder to reproduce an optimal strategy etc.

Obviously luck is not necessary for a good game, but I do think it makes certain elements of game design easier.

That's the point of my comment. She is a democrat, the supposedly left leaning party of the US.

And if a senator personally intervenes on anyone's behalf for personal reasons (like obviously here), that by itself is very wrong in my book. Even if it actually costs them money I would still find it corrupt.
Thanks for the links. Makes sense.
Silicon Valley Struggles to Add Conservatives to Its Ranks
From the Wikipedia article on Morse College [0] (one of Saarinen's two 1962 residences lauded by this article):

> …in a modern attempt to capture the spirit of Gothic architecture, Saarinen eliminated all right angles from the living areas. […] This resulted, notoriously, in two rooms which had eleven walls, none of which was long enough to put the bed against and still be able to open the door.

Is the mark of “good” architecture the degree to which it is hostile or inscrutable to its inhabitants? Even this author admits that the new colleges are an excellent execution of the Collegiate Gothic style; not only are they _livable_ spaces, they are _beautiful_ ones!

If GM can make more money operating a robotaxi fleet, why would they ever even offer them for sale?

There are a lot of medium sized cities in the US with crappy public transportation systems. Maybe these cities could subsidize on-demand rides in robotaxi fleets operated by GM and Uber and other companies rather than owning and operating a fleet of buses running on a limited schedule.
> GM has sold 3,000 Bolt units so far in 2017. Tesla will sell hundreds of thousands of Model 3s in 2018.

The difference is, GM can actually manufacture the cars it sells.

I've always wondered why english doesn't use the word "silicium" instead of silicon
Yes, I'm also a fan of OpenRC. I have always found it intuitive.

Alpine aims to have a lean footprint and be highly configurable. I can't imagine using systemd for small-footprint systems, especially since systemd somewhat limits options for system organization.

As to the downvote, just consider it someone saying: "Your opinion is inconsistent with my agenda, and therefore invalid." It's meaningless.

Football Radar, London UK, ONSITE https://www.footballradar.com/careers/engineering-data-scien...

Football Radar are hiring! We are currently recruiting for the position of Systems Engineer, Frontend Engineer, and Backend Software Engineer. Our stack includes Docker, Scala and React, but we prefer the best tool for the job.

Football Radar was founded with one clear mission: to become the smartest company in football. We provide world-leading insights to clients across industries, underpinned by sophisticated and wholly unique football analysis.

Our engineering department comprises twenty people split into focused teams working on a broad set of problems across trading, modelling and football analysis. We cultivate an agile working environment; planning milestones and user stories, heavy collaboration, and understanding every aspect of the domain is all part of the day-to-day.
I think it's worrisome because it means people are keeping their money in stocks - they aren't acting as if the market as overvalued, even when everyone's talking about it (which could contribute to a bubble pop).
The butterfly generation term that I knew was from when I started work in London around 2000. [0]

> Even with containers, being able to reproducibly rebuild the containerized application from its sources if desired is still a challenge.

1) flatpak runs on a runtime and the application would than be exactly the same on all systems. Just like a Java program or any other programming language that runs on a runtime.

2. flatpak and snap are not for servers, which containers makes more sense because they are solving a different problem than desktops'. So they are more like a sandbox like what we find on tabs in Chrome.

> Is Flatpak a container technology?

"It can be, but it doesn't have to be. Since a desktop application would require quite extensive changes in order to be usable when run inside a container you will likely see Flatpak mostly deployed as a convenient library bundling technology early on, with the sandboxing or containerization being phased in over time for most applications. In general though we try to avoid using the term container when speaking about Flatpak as it tends to cause comparisons with Docker and rkt, comparisons which quickly stop making technical sense due to the very different problem spaces these technologies try to address. And thus we prefer using the term sandboxing." https://flatpak.org/faq.html
