Built For Me Inc. | Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Remote (US-only) | Senior Front-end Software Engineer | Full Time | $150k-$200k

Who we are: We are a small company loathe to use the word “startup”. The phrase that most aptly describes us is “boutique consulting firm” as we are currently working on select software consulting projects while concurrently laying the foundation for a stand-alone product which will focus on enabling business workflows and growing workplace productivity. We are being smart in our approach balancing software consulting with our own product. We balance both to pay ourselves well and support our vision for the future. We have an excellent four person team in place with Big-4 backend experience. We're looking to get one final person in place to help us define what a modern and maintainable front-end stack should look like and to help build our product. Hopefully that's you.

Who you are: An incredibly motivated, amazingly talented full stack engineer whose abilities truly shine on the front end. You know React, Webpack, CSS, Sass, JSX, and the other standard front-end technologies we aren't as familiar with. You are a self-starter who can work with little supervision. You are meticulous about details and sufficiently passionate to get things done, yet know when to pivot to a more experimental move-fast mode. You should be a great teammate who looks to make your colleagues more productive because you know they are doing the same for you. You love the state-of-the-art and yet understand the danger of being there and can articulate the reasons why.

Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, PM | Zenysis (YC W16) | SF, NYC | Onsite, Fulltime
Zenysis is building a data analysis product for governments of developing countries. Our current projects focus on healthcare and affect over 100 million people. In the past year, we've helped governments fight epidemic outbreaks, combat food shortages, and allocate several hundred million dollars in healthcare spending.

We have a lot on our plate. We're building early warning systems for disease outbreaks, automatically detecting low-quality data, and running models to recommend the most effective health interventions across entire countries. The work we do is not always easy, but it's very rewarding. We're looking for other mission-focused engineers who care about seeing their impact in the world and are comfortable building complex, mission-critical systems.

A simple mobile app to manage your crypto portfolio
I was wondering how one would make a global map with a resolution of a nautical mile. Spacing dots a nautical mile apart on the equator is simple, but you can’t continue with a rectangular grid up north or south (by the time you’re at 60 degrees, the dots would be only half a mile apart)

A perfect solution doesn’t exist, and AFAIK no exact solution for the simpler “place N dots on a sphere in maximizing the minimum distance between dots” exists, but decent approaches exist.

I never fully pitched it. That slide deck was mostly to sort through the ideas I had at the time and try to identify some fundamental truths of the market.

The product I'm interested in building is basically a bandwidth marketplace. It's a hard problem and I've been thinking about it for a while. In college I researched "TorCoin" for my senior thesis which explored the possibilities of a proof-of-bandwidth cryptocurrency. I know some ICO's are working on this now but I'm really skeptical the idea can work without a killer product in the hands of users driving adoption. That's the product I want to work on. I'm still figuring out exactly what it is, but I've been thinking about this kind of thing heavily for the past 5 years and feel pretty confident I can execute if given the right time, team and funding.

I don't think so.

By citing these examples, the article is putting together a case for the narrative of Facebook/Twitter being primary drivers of the current overall system, inventing these malevolent features that enable and support this system. Rather than the alternative narrative of Facebook/Twitter being emergent "winners" in a diverse plethora of bad actors, all contributing to the system to varying degrees.
Good point, if each email is individually salted as best practice for storing passwords they could not be indexed.

However, this would also mean that logging in using an email/username would also require a full scan.

More generally, if you want to uniquely salt your keys, you’re in trouble.
Those claims are trendy, but the parent provides no basis for them and I've never seen one. There's plenty of reason to believe otherwise:

The 'youths' want to go to college, and in a free country and a free market, it's believed that they know and decide their own best interests.

Businesses in fact highly value college education; they pay people with college degrees much more than people without them. The incomes of people without degrees has been stagnant for decades, and there's concern among economists that their job prospects will become more difficult due to automation. If it had reached a point of diminishing returns (really, small marginal benefit), then the wage differential would be small.

As I pointed out above, it's really economic discrimination: Education depends, more than anything, on family wealth. So the outcome of what the parent advocates is that the wealthy classes go to college and the lower classes don't get that opportunity. Usually it's wealthy people with college degrees that say college isn't needed; but tell them that their kids shouldn't go to college and you'll get a much different response.

> The percentage of Americans with college degrees has never been higher.

That's great. We want people to be better educated, more productive, and live better lives. That's the 'American Dream'. We don't want the economy stuck in the 1980s, but to move forward.

It also makes the economy more productive. For example, Silicon Valley can't get enough talented developers, yet the United States (and world) is filled with kids with no access to education, many of whom probably could fill that talent gap. We need more education. High skill, high-paying jobs will go where there are more highly educated workers; if the U.S. cuts college education, it will go elsewhere. New businesses and industries that we haven't yet imagined will arise when they have that resource of educated people.

Education also makes people healthier, better citizens, better parents, etc. HN celebrates knowledge; it's hard to suddenly discount it in this case.

> It's a disaster.

By what measure? The only disaster is that education is too expensive and not available to people without money.
The thing is, most of the time you're reflecting at some logical level that will not be the "reality". The problem is that C programmer think that C === reality === performance. C has better (lower) constant factors but by no means better all the time.
Ok, that is one of the best math + lasercutter = art links that I have seen in a while. And the concept of being able to keep moving the puzzle pieces around is pretty cool.
There is also a link to upload your own art work and create your own puzzle, which is what I will be doing for this mother's day.
Overall, a pretty cool link.
I would say it's a lot easier to distract yourself than it ever has been before.
How a Common Interview Question Fuels the Gender Pay Gap (and How to Stop It)
I find the rates thing quite compelling. Uber/Lyft are dictating the prices. Drivers have no say in them. And, while you can technically decline rides, the Uber/Lyft algorithms will punish you for doing so.
There was an article on Hacker News recently that covered some of the reasons for Itanium's failure to realize its theoretical benefits. I'm not finding it now, but IIRC, the argument made was that predicting likely-parallelizable code is actually a lot harder to do at compile time, and that, like so many ultra-optimized systems, the real world works much differently and a messier, more random approach ultimately yields far better performance.

Thanks for your detailed reply! I have been attempting to incorporate more routine in my life, but I hadn't considered the why, really. The concept of reducing cognitive load makes sense, and I agree that "having to remember to do stuff sucks" 100%.
Nit: the COBOL spec dates to 1960; EBCDIC came later, ~1963. In 1960, character codes were specific to the manufacturer, and sometimes to the machine. IBM had a 6-bit BCD code that was mostly consistent across its line, but Univac had its own which was quite different.

NoRedInk | Engineering Manager, Back-end, Front-end, Full-stack, SRE | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 2 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

Certainly, mental health has been ignored for far too long. That said, there seems to be a lack of context here.

- Is this an increase or decrease?

- How does it compare to other countries / cultures?

- Was this over time, or a snap shot, that would (I would think) be influenced by the current mental state of the person giving the answer?

I don't mean to sound cold and lacking in empathy but without transparency my first reaction is: C'est la vie. Life, by definition has highs and lows.

I'm not doubting there are people who need treatment / attention. On the other hand, the way this seems to be executed and presented feels like a pitch for more funding, etc.

p.s. Why was it / is it called the Loneliness Index? Or was that a self-fulfilling prophesy? Is that part of the pitch for attention?
>More than half of survey respondents — 54 percent — said they always or sometimes feel that no one knows them well. Fifty-six percent reported they sometimes or always felt like the people around them "are not necessarily with them." And 2 in 5 felt like "they lack companionship," that their "relationships aren't meaningful" and that they "are isolated from others."

Well, chasing money and success as ultimate goals, glorifying individualism, being hell bent on branding oneself and selling it, valuing consumerism, and closing into comfort zones etc., comes with a cost.

The thing I've always found most interesting about hydrofluoric acid is that it's corrosive and poisonous. Other acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid are corrosive, but they're not poisonous like hydrofluoric is. Other common acids will burn you, but that's the extent of their damage. Hydrofluoric acid will burn you and absorb into your body, interfering with calcium ions in a way that can lead to death.
