Zeus | Full-stack or Frontend Engineer | San Francisco, CA | On-site | Fulltime | zeusliving.com

At Zeus, we're changing the experience of renting a furnished home. Traditionally, renting a furnished home involves either paying exorbitant rates or a grueling, soul-sucking search on Craigslist. We believe the best way to fix this process is not to make another rental search site, but to own the entire stack so we can control the whole experience. From fast and easy booking on our website to a friendly welcome when you check in, Zeus ensures your stay is convenient and seamless. The Zeus founders have all had previous exits and have worked in real estate and technology for over 10 years.

We are looking for a full-stack senior engineer who can run projects and help establish the foundation of our team. You'll primarily be working on web development. Your projects will be split between our public-facing website that our tenants and landlords use and the custom software that runs our internal operations.

We are also looking for a frontend engineer to focus on building our UI. You will set the foundation for the front-end code base and ensure it is performant and maintainable. We want someone who wants to work with world-class designers and PMs to build an amazing user experience.

We currently have a small engineering team of 7. We are looking for pragmatic engineers who communicate well and get things done. We like to ship things fast and iterate quickly. Our stack is AWS, Postgres, Rails, jQuery, Bootstrap, and React. It's not required you know any of these technologies as long as you're willing to learn.

There are more questions that arise from this.
For example if Intel were more vigilant and this lead to a 10x reduction in technological progress (CPU power has increased exponentially), how many lives would have been affected or even lost because cutting edge research that relies on super computers would happen 40 years from now?

If by making CPUs more secure, self-driving moves 30 years into the future, how many lives will this affect?

There is an old joke, about Bill Gates saying that if the automotive industry could move as fast as the computer industry, we would had $100 cars that do 1000 miles to the gallon and the GM chief answering that whilst these cars would exist, they would crash twice a day.

Hmmmm, wonder if they could inject the two drugs into a portion of the biopsy sample and re-implant that, assuming the biopsy cells are still viable at the time?

Hmmm, not sure keeping the biopsy cells viable until biopsy results arrive though would be practical.
Since they just started offering it, Linode probably doesn't have accurate statistics to share, and most people can't correctly interpret very small probabilities anyway. They'd probably be better off saying something like "you should assume that each volume will fail at some point in its life".

The Playing Field
The academic world seems collectively addicted to credentialism and status. A friend of mine recently went from being a grad student in academic geology to private-sector geology. She's experiencing some pretty severe culture shock.

She's getting paid a reasonable amount. She gets paid overtime. Her opinions are given weight. Her physical needs are taken seriously. She gets credit for her work. She is, in general, treated as an actual human being capable of having expertise and bringing value.

The total result is that she's spent months going "WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THE PRIVATE SECTOR WAS AWESOME?!"

This was probably around 1995, I was a young kid just starting to be interested in computers and the internet, and we had a typical slow loading connection.

I remember at one point my dad and I found this random choose your own adventure set of webpages staring Paper Bag Head Man (or something similar) which often left him dead in comical ways. It wasn't a cartoon, just a photo of (presumably) the creator with a paper bag happy face on his head, with some descriptive text, that would take far too long to load on our slow connection.

It was one of the first "internet is weird" moments in my life, and it was fun exploring it with my dad. Ive remembered it in my adult life and have never been able to find any reference to it.

>And that's because the US government no longer responds to the needs and wants of the people

I'm an immigrant so I'm not clear it it ever did this: it hasn't in the 20+ years I've been here. Things I hear on the motivations of the founding fathers and the resulting deliberate dysfunctionality they introduced into the system of government suggests to me that the goal was never to respond to the needs and wants of the people.
Vulnerabilities always get used. There's no way forward that doesn't include more vigilance.
I somewhat disagree.

Academic journal papers are meant to be digested by experts in that topic, not the general population. It seems necessary to have a filter on registration to ensure that the platform is useful to these experts. You could imagine the restriction could be relaxed to research institution emails -or- a referral.

Even with a restrictive registration, the platform could still be useful to the a non-expert who is interested in the topic by reading the exchanges between experts.
Time waste alert!

I was asked to complete a take home project. I completed and submitted the take home project which took a few hours.

I then received nothing more than "canned email rejection." Completely disrespectful.
Oh wow. That's Douglas Hofstadter in great form. Could you please submit that to HN so it has a chance to get to the fist page?
Not with that attitude its not.
Google reader, not really early days but I miss it very much.

When they stopped it I couldn't find a good alternative and my reading habits changed, now I don't read as many blogs as I did.
You are right that climbing buildings is not directly comparable to free soloing rock. Each has things that make it easier or harder.

Rock isn't "meant" to be climbed, but the vast majority of free solo climbs occur after extensive roped rehearsals. Some people do "onsight"/climb without practicing with ropes first, but this is rare, and is essentially only done when the route in question is known to be easy.

Buildings are more predictable and regular, but these guys seem to be onsighting everything they do, which is mentally very different.
I don't see anything super wrong about marketing & presenting a research endeavor. I mean its a lot more accessible than a 10 year old website by a professor with a bunch of links to papers, and if it helps get people from different fields, and across academia and industry collaborate then great.
I miss the old fandom communities, like pre-strikethru LJ. Currently the bulk of fandom activity takes place on Tumblr, which is awful for a variety of reasons (the platform as designed isn’t a good fit for the type of activity, and the community is terrible)
FYI, I'm getting error pages on chrome and firefox when trying to open specific job pages on your website.
Not playing the game is fine, and a classless life is enjoyed by many, but it's not how "you just equalized yourself with them socially."
I don't think they DO regret it. Sounds like the men had a really good time demeaning their fellow conference goers and trying to keep the event a boy's club.
A little self-promotion here, but I've been working on an app for listening to, sharing, and talking about podcasts. I listen to well over 20 hours of podcasts a week and was always frustrated with how difficult it is to share episodes I've enjoyed.

We have a very tiny beta right now with < 100 users, but if you like podcasts you might like it! (you can sign up at https://banter.fm OR just email me, steve @ banter.fm)

This isn't always true. You body can start attacking itself if cells start misidentifying one another. This can lead to Lupis, MS, Ruhtomotide Arthritis and various other auto-immune diseases.
Cool tech, but seems like over-engineering. As far as I can tell, Facebook just crops to the center and top of images which works pretty well. Meanwhile Twitter has spent years cropping images awkwardly based on trying to find the relevant regions, and now is doubling down on trying to find relevant regions...
> Also: are there any places that charge for births???? That sounds ridiculous and insane to me.

Then the entire US healthcare system will sound ridiculous and insane to you :)

And, to be honest, it is. I have American friends who had accidents while in developing countries (broke an arm in Costa Rica) and were puzzled that they were treated and didn't have to pay anything, or very little (broke feet in Croatia).

cjb.net - I forget if they only allowed http forwarding, or actually gave you a real DNS entry (might have been either?), but you could get a hostname.cjb.net for free, as long as you kept your account active.
I would seriously blame codecs. The programming from video editors I am sure is 100% about compromises. You can't get a smooth preview playback of 4K unless you have sunk thousands of dollars into your computer. I am guessing that they are always playing the compromise of you can't really get this but we will give you that all the time. The issue comes when they are playing around with how to control latency and i/o bottle necks.

It's too long ago for me to remember the site's name but the subscription to it came when you signed up for a free Hotmail account back in the late 90s.

You would get an email each day that would take you to the site where you had to solve a reasonably cryptic whodunnit. I've never been good at these sorts of things but I would spend ages reading the story trying to solve the riddle. Pretty fun but years later I can't remember its name and I do miss it from time to time. It was a comfort to know these puzzles were being created and solved in the background but now is no more.
I'd say macroexpansion is precedence agnostic.

=> 2 * 3 + 7 * 4

General rule is going to be the longer you use an identity the more likely you are to taint it with information having direct or indirect deanonymization potential.
