Worldwide, REMOTE, full time or part time -- 100% flexibility. $70-100/hr. Expert Interviewer at Karat (https://karat.io)

Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training/time investment doesn't make as much sense from your end or ours. When each interview is done, you're done.

I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off. We've done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we're well-funded and growing quickly as a result.

Because of this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.

Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather's like.

The application form is here: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...

I know it's a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I'm happy to talk through any of it.

P.S. We're also hiring for our internal team -- particularly looking for senior engineers right now; for those we generally prefer local (Seattle) candidates, though we do cover relocation. More details on those here: https://karat.io/careers, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.
You're correct, but this goes against the idea that it's greedy house owners that are causing all the problems. Maybe they're selfish (I would argue most people are), but it's in their best financial interest for the Bay Area population to increase. The land value will go up, and the relative supply of houses/people goes down. Let's say that right now only 10% (made up number) of the people in the Bay Area can own a house (because of supply, not price). In general that means that the houses are purchased by the wealthiest 10%. If the population goes up 50% now you have to be in the top 7% to afford a house. Yeah, it's a little more complex than this, but in general housing prices aren't going down by building apartments. No one buys a house because they can't find an apartment for sale.

If people really want to address the housing issues, they need to start actually listening to people who object to more housing instead of just calling them names. There are legitimate downsides to more housing and higher population that will need to be addressed.

fly.io | Writer / Dev Advocate | Chicago or Remote | Full Time
fly.io is an open source, programmable CDN. Developers write JavaScript Edge Applications locally, test them, and deploy across our global network of servers.

We're hiring to improve our publishing! You might want to apply if you enjoy JavaScript and writing for developers. You'll be really good for this role if you can come up with interesting ideas and turn them into finished content. We're remote first, and super flexible, so you hopefully like talking to other people on Slack and getting together with the rest of the company every few months. If you like giving talks and going to conferences, you can do that too (but it's not a requirement).

Publishing is one of the most important things we do. It's how devs learn about us, how we get customers, and a good thing to work on if you want your work to a direct impact. This is not a secondary job at an already successful company, this hire matters.

Example content:

* https://fly.io/articles/fly-edge-apps-advanced-http-routing/

* https://onehostname.com

Salary is is competitive, our equity grants are relatively large (up to 2% of the company), and we offer health benefits for US based employees.

To apply, send an email to jobs@fly.io. Please include a developer focused writing sample, and links to any code you've written.
The problem is, it's getting harder every day to find DRM-free content. For audio, CDs are getting out of fashion, and piracy channels lack the seeders because everybody is on Spotify.
Register as a (non-profit) corporation, appoint a board and keep all important credentials in escrow. Assign job titles and job specifications to all key personnel; if you don't know exactly who is responsible for what, you can't make contingency and continuity plans. Reject all pull requests that aren't comprehensively documented.

It sounds like a lot of work, but it has a tremendous RoI. The advantages of corporate personhood more than outweigh the administrative burden for a serious open-source project. The issues affecting Void are practically moot if accounts and domains are owned by a corporate person rather than a natural person.

It's obviously overkill for a personal side-project, but I'd consider it essential once you're starting to worry about your bus factor. If no-one involved in your project wants to deal with this admin, find someone who does. There are a lot of non-technical people who would still like to contribute to the free software movement.
Well shit.
Who wants to bet on when the first ad-removal fork appears?

"now Firefox itself will offer new recommendations to sponsored sites based on your browsing history. It performs that assessment privately in the browser, Mozilla said."
I don't believe this can ever be water-tight. Where do the ads get fetched from? Won't anyone who is able to snoop on that request (be it Mozilla, an ad network or (in case of an https failure) a third party) be able to deduce privacy-compromising information from the ad being requested itself?

Eg. If an advertisement is requested for a baby-crib (or a wider baby-category), you an as an advertiser deduce that the other end might (soon) be a parent.

The fact that Mozilla thinks it's able to preserve privacy by doing it in-house scares me. I don't want to trust any company with my browsing history or the processing thereof.
If Mozilla decides it's in the ad business itself, I don't care how they initially try to preserve privacy by generating profiles in the browser itself. They will become an ad company with the same perverse incentives as Google and all the other advertising companies.
Outcomes4Me | Cambridge, MA | Lead React Native Engineer | ONSITE | Compensation + Equity

Outcomes4Me is a seed-funded startup filling a huge need for patients with cancer and other life-threatening diseases by giving them the ability manage their own treatment options. We’re partnering with the top associations and hospitals to build the first consumer-quality mobile app that both patients and doctors can trust to provide diagnosis-specific treatment options, clinical trials, news, and more.

We’re hiring a lead React Native engineer to help us complete and iterate on our v1. You should have a high degree of comfort developing with React Native and building high-quality, lovable experiences. Strength implementing UI mock-ups and high performance features is a must. Experience developing native apps/components for iOS and/or Android is a plus.

Current stack: Javascript (ES6) / React Native + Redux / Node.js + Express / AWS EC2 + Lambda + Aurora / PostgreSQL

What you’ll find at O4Me:

- Purpose: If you gain strength from doing important work, you belong on our team.
- Challenge: We’re improving the lives of people who need us. We have big challenges ahead and the motivation to over come them.
- Respect: Your opinions are valid. Why wouldn’t they be?
- Trust: We’re building a culture of independence. That means we’re going to trust and support you in making the right decisions.
- Transparency: You need to see the whole picture if you’re going to make an impact. This is a core principle at Outcomes4Me.

If you’re interested and want to chat about it, shoot us an email: jobs@outcomes4me.com
This comment thread has really put me in a good mood. These stories have so much pedagogical value:
• The grammars we engineer have important semantic value
• understanding and adhering to them is important, and hard
• relying on others to adhere to them is dangerous, and hard to avoid
• "experts" make mistakes in both areas constantly

I genuinely love seeing this kind of lively discussion, because these seemingly "trivial details" matter, a lot. The Three Mile Island accident was more or less caused by "message sent" being conflated with "state changed" at the UI level, directly leading to a nuclear meltdown. They basically had a system with the equivalent design of GET /open and /close that assumed success for both
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Mile_Island_accident#Con...
How can an alternative be more profitable? Targeted ads allow to TARGET someone. That means that instead of wasting views on someone that won't be interested (and thus, be a waste of money) you use it on people that will care.

For sure if you have 5$ of budget per sale, if it takes 1000 views to get a sale or 1 views, you won't pay the same for views in both situation depending on the efficiency of the ad.
The Daily Show's Secret to Creativity
This probably is some sort of Fallacy that has a name... People should be looking for the best product at the time for them, not the best brand forever. There are anecdotes of people switching from one platform to the other and never looking back all over the place. Technology evolves so quickly that when you switch from one platform to another, it's almost always a step up provided you purchase in the same tier or better of devices. Imagine someone driving a 10 year old car from one brand, who decides to try a new brand of car. It has 10 years of new technology in it and blows the old car out of the water. Does that mean that they should switch brands forever and never look back? Phones and computers move much faster than cars. That being said, your opinion is completely valid and hopefully I don't come off as if I'm telling you your opinion is wrong or anything like that

It's not more, though; the ability is already there. It's just a change in how you invoke it.
> You could distill my whole piece to: This is a single purpose device that's been designed like a multi-purpose device. That just feels a little sideways.

Then we're in agreement! There are a TON of features/complexity in Kindle; combine that with e-ink being a clumsy display technology to combine with a touch screen and we find ourselves in the situation that we're in.

(Note that I totally understand why e-ink was combined with a touchscreen for Kindle. Give someone a screen these days and they'll try and touch it, for better or worse)

"Github transfers organizational ownership after owner becomes inactive"

Sounds fairly benign. Ownership transfers happen all across the web with, to give a few examples, subreddits, social media handles, messaging groups, etc. Why can't Github do the same?
so you can take over a project simply because the real owner is away?

Forking is the only allowable option if the owner does not respond. Being able to take over a project's organization and official repo can be easily abused.
> policy makers that serve the hand that feeds them?

More like, California and Federal level policymakers have been too lenient and let town and city level politicians make too much selfish policy that hurts the state and country level economy and progress.

The economic powerhouse areas don't belong only to their current residents. Everyone in the country has a right to strive for wealth and a better life by moving to economically active regions. We shouldn't create a society where your economic class is determined by where you happened to be born.
Tanium | Emeryville, CA (SF) or Morrisville, NC (RTP) or REMOTE | $170k+, bonuses, equity (RSUs)

https://tanium.com/careers/

Tanium's product is basically computer security & management software for government and large enterprises. What makes it special is that it's fast, scalable, and comes with world-class support.

Lt. Gen. Bill Bender, the recently-retired CIO of the US Air Force, said that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." [1]

Tanium is ~700 people, profitable, and growing fast. We're hiring for all kinds of roles, including Sales, Legal, Marketing, Finance, and more; I'll call out a few interesting ones below.

Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, and self directed/unlimited vacation (most folks take 4~5 weeks).

--

Senior Software Engineer - $120~160k+ - The core is mostly C++, and then JavaScript for the modules and admin interface (AngularJS/Node.js - we'll probably upgrade from AngularJS to something newer eventually, but it works for now). There's also small but growing amounts of Python and Rust.

On site or US Remote work (pick the closest one) - SF: https://grnh.se/ixfioowp1 | RTP: https://grnh.se/bxio4pg51

Associate or Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization is central to our company, and doesn't have any real parallels that I'm aware of. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.

Remote or on site in Canada, France, Japan, UK, or USA.

Director TAM - $120~170k+: https://grnh.se/r64ytqkl1 (Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but it is not a people-managing role.)

Associate TAM - $80~130k: https://grnh.se/slpflp3j1

--

Director of Security - $180-200k - (US Remote): https://grnh.se/4cn3r1fg1 (Note: unlike Director TAM, this is a people-managing role.)

Security Engineer - $120~140k (US Remote): https://grnh.se/oghwvo2u1

Product Security Engineer - $120~140k (RTP): https://grnh.se/w007hqa21
