Nextdoor (http://nextdoor.com/) | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite

I'm one of the co-founders and Chief Architect at Nextdoor. Our mission is to use the power of technology to create stronger and safer neighborhoods all around the world. Over 80% of the neighborhoods in the US are using our platform to communicate about the issues most important to them, and we've just started expanding internationally as well in the Netherlands, UK, and Germany. Founded in 2010, we're backed by Benchmark Capital, Greylock Partners, Google Ventures, and Tiger Global among others, and have raised over $210M in venture capital to-date.

We are hiring across the board, and growing quickly. A list of our open job reqs can be found here at http://nextdoor.com/jobs. In particular, we're always looking for great full-stack generalists who are comfortable working in an agile, fast-paced environment. Our stack is primarily Python and Go, running on AWS, with client apps built in Obj-C/Swift (iOS), Java (Android), and JavaScript/ReactJS (Web).

Our office is in San Francisco (mid-Market) close to Civic Center BART. If you're looking for a relatively small startup (we're still fewer than 200 people total, with ~70 in engineering) with an opportunity to have global impact, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@nextdoor.com.

Wow! I think you need a dedicated podcast called "This week in ICOs" or "This week in crypto" ;)
I think GP meant least-understood by the broader public, not least-understood by the professionals treating it.
What fonts are you using for Firefox on Ubuntu?
I'm currently using the default DejaVu fonts.

I used Firefox earlier and jumped on the Chrome bandwagon when it became popular. I just made a switch back from Chrome to Firefox and it feels a lot faster than Chrome.

I have installed Microsoft fonts on my Ubuntu and Chrome uses these fonts. Now, I'm trying to make Firefox use the same fonts but I don't seem to figure out the font names for Serif, Sans-serif, and Monospace.
Great Scott!

This is one reason I ask brain teasers in interviews.

I don't just care about what you know now, I need to know your willingness and ability to think on your feet when confronted with a seemingly random puzzle and actually persevere towards an answer if necessary.

Not everything will fit neatly into the box of tools that were previously learned.
>Uber’s general counsel, Tony West, on Wednesday sent a note to employees, which was seen by Reuters, saying that human surveillance of individuals would no longer be tolerated.

The fact that this even had to be said is sickening on so many levels.

Thanks for sharing. Hadn't seen this yet. There are a ton of products in the space.

One of the things that makes NanaGram different is the group aspect. Most photo sharing apps are one-to-one. Usually, it's one person curating the photos and printing them and in most cases, they're sending the photos to themselves. For example, Groovebook.

We started as many-to-one with the first account being me and my 3 siblings curating photos together and sending them to our Grandparents. I think it was our 10th or so customer who asked us to create a way to send the same set of photos to multiple loved ones. That's when the service became many-to-many (or one-to-many if you're an only grandkid) and I started sending a copy of my Grandparents photos to myself.

My youngest brother is the most interesting (and sometimes elusive) man in the family and it's always tough getting photos from him. But every month so far, sure enough, he's reminded and sends in a sweet photo or two.

iCloud.
I think you misunderstood me. I'm not saying being able to identify someone is bad, just that it should be tied to what actually matters. When you're opening a bank account or something, you don't care if that person buys beer, and it makes no sense for the same identifier to be used for both of those things and for a multitude of other random things. That only invites a great deal of trouble. You care about whether they have the collateral they claim or the job they claim and things like that, each of which could have their own unique identifier signed by the employer or similar. At each need for identification, the possible correlations need to be considered and minimized.
Two months before the Voyager probes were shipped for launch it was found out that Jupiter's magnetic fields and radiation environment were a lot stronger than anticipated, in excess of what the spacecraft were designed to tolerate. They ended up wrapping many of the cables on the spacecraft with aluminum foil bought from a local supermarket as a protective measure.
Any two sided marketplace is rife with opportunities for fraud as well as money laundering.
The one thing that keeps me from believing this will happen is GMs history of shooting itself in the foot. They have amazing engineering and design capabilities but deliver low quality cars. Their lineup has had (and has) some exceptions, but generally I avoid them.

It's why I hope GM does not delivers on this statement. Their quality track record[1] doesnt inspire me confidence.

Lyft and Flywheel provide this service in the Bay Area too. As a bonus, they aren't infected with a rotten core culture.
OP here. I think the problem is that when tools like Slack are engineered in such a way as to make people dependent on their product, it's unfair to expect users to accept all the responsibility of mitigating against that. Software companies aren't using organizational productivity as a benchmark for their success, just usage statistics. So no, Slack doesn't enforce a single way of working, but it is engineered to consume as much of people's time as possible, for better or worse.

Jason Fried wrote his in his (much more comprehensive) post about group chat pros/cons:

"It’s common in the software industry to blame the users. It’s the user’s fault. They don’t know how to use it. They’re using it wrong. They need to do this or do that. But the reality is that tools encourage specific behaviors. A product is a series of design decisions with a specific outcome in mind. Yes, you can use tools as they weren’t intended, but most people follow the patterns suggested by the design. And so in the end, if people are exhausted and feeling unable to keep up, it’s the tool’s fault, not the user’s fault. If the design leads to stress, it’s a bad design."

It's no surprise people reject concepts they don't adequately understand. I don't know who exactly you could blame here. But if they all understood what it meant, I don't believe nearly as many would be rejecting it.

The Presenter's Paradox: When More Is Actually Less Valuable
Do you use slack? You seem to be criticising the thing that slack is really good at.

The postpone workflow is to switch alerts off, can be done on schedule for when you are not at work and manually for meetings etc. And it allows you to fine tune these between channels and people etc. There are a number of statuses that show to your co-workers (on holiday, sleeping, in meeting, dnd etc). Those messages are there unread for you to come back to when you are ready.
More important than couples therapy is to get her to go to individual therapy. Though couples therapy may be a step in getting her there.
I wasn't aware that there were classes of drugs that could not be mailed. Researching this now, all I can find is that the mailer and recipient have to be authorized, but nothing about restrictions on painkillers, amphetamines, cough syrup, etc.
Are you only allowed to criticize capitalism if you own no possessions and live in a hut in the woods you built yourself?
I wish research into psychedelics wasn’t as stigmatized so we could find these things out. There’s always going to be the problem of someone wanting to be treated before you can treat them though, which makes any narcissistic issues hard to deal with.
Yeah, there's definitely a spectrum there.

"We should change the immigration process to favor skilled workers" - you're fine.

"We should deport anybody who immigrated illegally" - you're in the danger zone.

"We need a ban on immigration from Muslim countries" - you are horrible and you deserve whatever consequences you suffer.

"Build the wall" - you're an idiot.
Not fun for them, but nevertheless a very interesting lawsuit. What I am interested in is the fact they used a Swiss foundation that they don't actually control.

What happens when a US judge allocates damages for certain actions? They declare personal bankruptcy? US judgements are also not always enforceable abroad, so is it imaginable the foundation gets to keep the money regardless of the outcome of any lawsuit? I would guess so.
I don't think it necessarily means "all ideas are the same". You're right -- some ideas may be better than others, but until they're executed successfully, they're just ideas.

ie: There were multiple ways that Google could have executed their goal of building a search engine (engineering, sales, etc). Even if you come up with a 'better' idea, it may not be successful/valuable if you execute it poorly and make the wrong decisions.

Not for no reason were Soviet general secretaries sometimes called the Red Tsars. There is most certainly a civilizational continuity between imperial Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. This particular civilizational continuity makes the prospect of democratic rule problematic. It does not sit comfortably within Russian civilizational parameters. Some explain in this way the failed attempt to instill a democratic order in Russia in the 1990s, i.e., that what democratic rule presupposes is absent in Russian society, rendering it foreign and "unnatural".

Among scholars specializing in civilizations, Feliks Koneczny[0] stands out in particular. Specifically, he identifies Russia as an example of Turanian civilization (one of several present within the West, though perhaps what is most prototypically Western is what he called Latin civilization). The author of the article mentions some of the markers of Turanian civilization, viz., "the unquestioning acceptance of authority" and "the acceptance of the need for the state to use violence".

Using Keras has made me appreciate this a lot.

Most deep learning layers have a bunch of parameters that need to be configured for best results. A lot of research has gone into figuring out best practices and Keras uses those as defaults. Saves me a lot of time.

My downfall is remembering a sentence or two but having no idea which of the approximately 20 podcasts I listen to the content came from. There are sometimes guests who are on multiple podcasts, overlapping topics, etc.

That's a good point I hadn't considered. Personally I don't consume show notes, but perhaps reading those would help me out overall.

I was married to someone who I believe has BPD and we went to couples therapy ... be careful... it can and may well be used against you...whilst at the same time not help her condition...someone with BPD typically has many issues on the surface. These tend to consume the therapy sessions. Whilst the deep seated problems go unchecked...

I feel like the real issue for someone with BPD is processing incoming messages (verbal/actions etc.). When you're starting position is defensive and highly emotional, it's hard to be rational.... hence why messages are often misinterpreted and why people w/ BPD appear to live in another reality...they need to learn to slow down and use their rational brain to keep their emotions in check... I'm not sure she'll learn this from couples therapy

No, but if you're enjoying products that would have never been developed without profit incentive, then there's hypocrisy in rejecting capitalism.
It's fine to be unhappy. The distinction is whether or not you use your slight dissatisfaction as reason enough to take away their rights as a property owner.

Misleading title. The last sentence of the article:
