Jobcase | Boston/Cambridge MA | onsite | full time | https://www.jobcase.com/about_us

Jobcase runs a set of job boards and a professional social network focused on the almost 3/4 of the country that doesn't have a four-year college degree. We're growing quickly, with 80MM registered members, and are mostly self-funded to 100+ employees, so we're highly focused on data-driven decisions and making smart capacity investments for the future. We're one of Boston Business Journal's Best Places to Work (again!).

Recruiting for multiple roles, especially:

Platform engineer (including technical lead) - Build all our core systems (including interesting architecture/scaling problems), working on a well-documented code base in a team with a strong review culture and very clear communications. We use a Java/Hibernate stack; happy to get applications from people with experience in comparable technologies.

Front-end engineer - Build all our member-facing applications including Jobcase.com, working mostly in Ruby on Rails. Drive the member experience for acquisition and social network features, working closely with product management and design/UX.

Quantitative data analyst - Own a slice of our business metrics and drive member acquisition and engagement. Send email/SMS communications, work with engineering to build new flows and features, and come up with experiments to optimize the member experience.

Data science / machine learning / information retrieval (experienced) - Help our members find relevant advice and jobs, and our colleagues make good decisions. Have a direct impact on revenue and on engagement, working with a team that's making major optimizations for our members and with colleagues who are uniformly data-savvy.

Interview process is a phone screen, then onsite interviews, with onsite design exercise and/or take-home coding/analysis exercise. Happy to answer questions, jberk at jobcase.com - my team works pretty closely with all of those teams.

As one of our members said recently, "How Jobcase works is that when you get hired, you help pay it forward and help others get hired, as much as you can!"
You need not pay Amazon to label your products with your FNSKU to avoid commingling -- sellers can do themselves with a printer and tape. Amazon simply offers the option and charges $0.20/unit to do it.

It's Lua 5.3:

h = "hello" .. utf8.char(160) .. "world"

f = io.open("Makefile","w")
f:write(h,":\n")
f:close()

f = io.open(h .. ".c","w")
f:write([[
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
puts("Hello, world!");
return 0;
}
]])
f:close()

Pretty straightforward.
More people died from the Spanish Flu epidemic than all of WWI. Was WWI not a crisis? Half of all people who have ever lived, died as a result of mosquito-borne illnesses, do all other causes of death not matter? Shall we stop bothering to develop autonomous vehicles because deaths from automotive accidents pale next to that?

Note that I’m not even attacking your premise that accidental deaths during an activity voluntarily engaged, in some way relates to mass murder.
Of course they do. Not only do they copy the form factor of the version 1 and 2 Chromecasts they also copy the Chromecast logo and even place a G in the middle to further try and trick users. These 1 star reviews of the following copycat show just how easily people think they're buying a real Chromecast.

With so many SKUs, it's easy to relax. OP has nine so one fake seller can wipe out a substantial amount of revenue overnight for her.
Because it behooves them to be a trustworthy platform for sellers but specially for buyers.

As a buyer I want to know I can trust what I'm buying is what I believe I am buying --and sellers don't want their brands tarneshed. Once bitten twice shy.
If the user can do anything with the error, then it is idiomatic to return a discrete, comparable error variable

var ErrTryAgain = errors.New("...")

or an error type with additional contextual information

type RetryError struct { ... }

These are both opt-in; if your users have no need to differentiate or act on errors, fmt.Errorf("...") is totally sufficient.

You're acting as if this is some critical flaw in the language. It's nothing like that.

This assumes that there are equal number of people in the hiring pool in each category. There is nothing to suggest that the applicants that apply are drawn at random from the population.

Also the absolute numbers of each groups also matter. On this basis we should expect far few Asian and Black employees just on the basis that there are fewer than whites within the USA [0].

0. This is assuming the employee pool is drawn from the USA population.

Same way a taco truck is cheaper to operate than a sit down restaurant. You still have to follow the local health codes but your fixed costs would be less.
Aug 30 is more like "job start date", not "you're aware that people had their info compromised".

This convo sounds like when folks were jokingly asking Dara the week after he started the job if he had fixed all the problems in the company, made it profitable and ready for IPO yet.

Considering that the timeframe in question would be probationary period for a normal person in a normal job and that the guy was jumping into what was effectively a burning transcontinental train wreck, I'd say getting an investigation completed and disclosed within a few months of his job start date is actually pretty commendable. By comparison, it took like half a year for people to see anything come out of the Holden report, and timeframes for resolution for some historically big scandals in other companies have taken far longer (e.g. the Equifax one is still making news with bigger and bigger impact estimate corrections).

Also, I find it curious that you think Joe Sullivan was made a scapegoat out of convenience, since there isn't a single news article about him complaining of being fired unjustly. You'd think news orgs would be all over such a story.
> taking and passing a crash course doesn't mean you'll be an expert in the field (and this applies for most MOOCs, honestly)

Any field that you can become an expert in with a 6-week course or less is not a field that should be paying even high 5-figure salaries. Or, conversely, any field which pays 6-figure salaries is either not accessible via an MOOC, or is massively overinflated and probably in a bubble.
Hiring a diverse team can be great in lots of ways. Especially for a global product, like many of the ones Google provides, you want a product team that can understand the lived experiences of a rich and varied user base.

Diversity means many things, not just gender and ethnicity. Some of the biggest blind spots I’ve noticed in Silicon Valley companies come from lack of diversity in age and class.

Diversity should be about inclusion, not about exclusion. All people involved in hiring should understand the (common-sense, in my opinion) boundaries set by the Civil Rights Act. Regardless of what you might think when reading certain parts of tumblr or twitter, “only accept new L3 candidates that are from historically underrepresented groups” is not forward thinking or progressive. To the extent that it is what it appears to be—slightly coded language for filtering resumes based on gender and race—it’s illegal.

There are so many brilliant people out there, often overlooked. Graduates from un-fancy colleges. Engineers a few years from retirement, but unsatisfied with their current job. A high school contest coder looking for an internship. A person from a poor family who bootstrapped thru community college. To me, diversity is about taking the extra effort to find excellence everywhere, rather than just looking in the default places.

iPhone 5Ss are great to keep around, you can generate an ECC private key inside the secure enclave (albeit only using the NIST P256 curve). Using Krypton[0] or your own software you can use the phone as a hardware private key.

Krypton includes support for SSH, gpg signed git commits, and soon generic gpg signing[1], all backed by TouchID or your passphrase[2]. Make sure to setup Krypton with the "Nist P256 (Secure Enclave)" curve. Private keys generated in the Secure Enclave are only possible to extract using a zero-day in the Secure Enclave coprocessor.

Not only does Amazon intentionally hack their own store to block people from buying Chromecasts, but they also junk up their search results with Chromecast knockoffs just to make sure their customers have the best shopping experience.

Just checked out gun, I have to say the tutorials are very well done. I'm not a javascript guy but I've been enjoying them.

Looks like a great project!
You are missing the point. They are not creating a new product that is a copy of the original, they are registering with Amazon as a supplier of the genuine product, but shipping counterfeits into the warehouse. They are then pricing their counterfeits dynamically so that they always get the “buy box”.

There’s no machine learning to do. The only way to find the counterfeit is to inspect each shipment by hand vs a reference sample to determine if it’s legit.

Its not like you pay your employees OR pay your taxes. Nor cut the workforce unless you get zero taxes.

Tax increase can slow growth but because there’s less spending, but the big tech cos are stockpiling their profits anyway.

I’m no socialist by any means, but anyone who thinks 0% taxes on 700 billion mega-co is fair.

Unless those people are Amazon shareholders, it the worst case of Stockholm syndrome anyone’s ever seen!

As a manager who is on the receiving end of GoC payroll, you make some excellent points. The key ones are: 3 - reduction of corporate knowledge. My pre-phoenix comp advisor could make shit happen. Now, I can't even get a return phone call.

Likewise, pt 5 (and 3). Example; pre phoenix, our summer students would always have a pay glitch end of July - why, comp advisor on holidays, didn't properly brief their replacement, stuff fell through the cracks.

I think the scale of the problem and suffering is much greater with this implementation than it was under the disparate departmental systems.

Not to be political, but, really that plays into this while conversations is that what I don't think can be ignored in all of this though is that the Harper mentality of consolidate to save money hasn't worked in any regard; just look at Shared Services - try getting timely procurement, and oh, BTW, no spares allowed to be kept... complete clusterf... as well. That's a whole other mess that affects people in a different way - oh, your phone line is down; tech will be there in 2-3 months.
Ultimately this harms them. People said the same thing about Comcast sucking for years. It’s finally starting to catch up with them and will take decades to go out of business.

Let's take this to an extreme. Let's get rid of incarceration and legal consequence entirely. Then you're to never wrongly convict someone, right? All other ways could and likely will end up with false positives.
Not quite the same as a pen plotter, but the Maslow CNC http://www.maslowcnc.com/ takes a similar approach to CNC (no reason you couldn't replace the router with a pen), but with a near-vertical work surface. OTOH I guess an 'ordinary' CNC is the same base principle as a plotter, just with more moving parts and another dimension. As are 3D-printers (the extrusion type, at least)

>"Ships and sold by Amazon" is something to look out for I guess

Don't get too comfortable. Malicious sellers can open a vendor account with Amazon and sell their counterfeits this way.

Let's sum this up.

It is impossible to prove that the currently available hardware or software works according to provided manual. However, it is not that difficult to prove that it is actually otherwise (please refer to the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures entries). Every single bit of information can be accidentally swapped or deliberately forged. Sometimes, it is possible to detect the change, sometimes not. Except for specifically designed protocols (which run on untrustworthy hardware anyway), there is no way to be able to successfully challenge the authorship of the information or validity of an associated contract (non-repudiation). E-mails, log records, spoofed traffic flow, fingerprinting of browsers, operating systems etc. are no exceptions, since they are just text information stored as files or in databases.

In other words, anyone can state anything about anyone, but that is where it ends. There is no way of proving that the statement is true and valid. Yet for "some" reason, masses are being "massaged" almost everyday to believe otherwise...

> One big point in the article was the option grants worth almost 1B.

No. It was the source of a deduction. I don't even think you understand what the article says.

From the article:

> $5.6 billion in income in 2017. The Seattle-based online retailer will end up paying out roughly $769 million in taxes for the year, but $724 million of that will be in foreign taxes.
> For example, Amazon took out a $917 million tax deduction on stock options exercised by current or former employees.

Just the e-commerce (not counting AWS or any of the other markets) was 60.5 billion U.S. dollars in the 4th quarter of 2017 alone. So it would be smarter to figure out how they came to 5.6 billion. The FIRST 5.6 billion they made, they paid no taxes on. Meaning, they had deductions (for some market, since every amazon vertical makes more than that) which allowed Amazon to make 5.6 billion tax free.

Pedantic would be saying it wasn't "nothing" or pointing out that there was a bunch of money they did get taxed on. I stand corrected, you're not being disingenuous. You're just willfully ignorant.
I'm not sure what to make of his statements...they could be correct assessments of his military's capabilities, or they could be completely false...who really knows?
> The writer advises people to "look at the seller," but Amazon's commingling of products means that doing so is often useless.

Only if the seller is Amazon or fulfilled by Amazon, since those are the only ones affected by commingling.
It was never designed to be sustainable. Why does nobody get that yet?

The only reason Uber and Lyft work is that there are a ton of people with limited job skills, who have time on their hands, are short on cash, and need to spend their extra time trying to make money. Sure, there may be "bored people" who do this because they're retired or whatever, but that's a tiny minority. Most people do not become part-time cab drivers because it's more fun than what they would normally do with their free time.

A significant amount of our economy is dependent on people having two or three or four jobs, and a lot of those people live in or very near to cities, and have cars. If wages improve across the board, or people move farther away from cities, or people get rid of their cars, ride-sharing is screwed. Much of the "gig economy" is dependent on similar conditions. If we had better access to jobs and a living wage, a lot fewer people would be "gigging" to get by.

Another reason (there's probably dozens) why the gig economy is incentivised today are things like rising health care costs, rising cost of housing, rising cost of education, and lack of availability to retirement or pensions. We all know we're supposed to save, but it's harder and harder to save. So people have to pick up gigs.

My partner is a teacher and gets paid well for her position, but she still has to Airbnb out a room in her home because the insurance, taxes, and mortgage are absolutely insane. If she makes it to 25 years or whatever it is without killing herself from stress, maybe she can finally retire. Except, oh wait, the state isn't funding the teachers' pensions and will run out of money in eight years! Fun.

Point is, the gig economy is here because almost every strata of people below "upper-middle-class" have been getting slowly screwed for decades. It's not designed to give people a working income. It's designed to fit into the cracks in the system - and the cracks keep getting bigger.
