Strive Talent | Full-stack Engineer + Front-end product engineer | FULL-TIME ONSITE | San Francisco, CA | https://www.strivetalent.com/

Hey HN! I'm Jesse, the head of engineering at Strive Talent. My email is jesse@strivetalent.com.

Strive Talent is a seed-stage, mission-driven startup dedicated to giving everyone a fair shot at a great career.
Right now we help companies around the US staff sales and customer support jobs with candidates that would typically be overlooked. A typical hiring manager spends ~6 seconds per resume to evaluate whether a candidate should be given an interview.
Instead, we administer a combination of cognitive tests, work-sample tests, and phone screenings, which allow us to evaluate a candidate according to the traits that actually determine their ability to do the job.

Our team is small, but we're well-funded: https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/24/stressing-aptitude-over-ac...

If you're interested, please send a resume and a paragraph explaining what it is about Strive that resonates with you to: jesse@strivetalent.com

Strive is a great place to join if any of the following are true:

• You care about connecting people with dignified livelihoods.

• You care about people getting jobs based on their ability to do the work, and not their pedigree.

• You want to come in to work each day and be able to ask, "How many people got a better job yesterday because of us?"

• You want to join an early-stage startup where there are still a lot of open product and technical questions.

Our core platform is built using Rails, React, PostreSQL, and other standard moving parts. Experience is those technologies isn't required, but evidence of skill and adaptability are.
Depending on jurisdiction — yes.

you can release a statically linked version and share your compiled proprietary object files (+ build instructions) ; that's enough to comply with LGPLv3

OK, perhaps "popularize" or "serve as a very prominent example" might've been a better choice of words.

Absolutely not. Companies should not be able to do this without explicit opt in. They need to learn that they are not free to do whatever they want, whenever they want, users be damned.
FYI, the majority of your arguments are explicitly discussed in Scott Alexander's post.
You should look into an e-bike conversion. I do 14 miles a day, and just added a kit to my bike for about ~$500. For an extra 100-200 you can probably get a kit that covers 30 miles fairly easy. And the power/battery will probably be similar to what you get on those lower end scooters. I know UK has speed limits on e-bikes, so that is a consideration, but if you are in a unrban-ish area like me, your commute is probably more limited by traffic and stop lights than it is by top speed.
Moving to Illinois sounds more appealing than ever.

If you use tor and only visit onion sites, the sites don't know who visited them.

If you use tor and visit the regular web sites (like, say, HN), the last computer that does the actual request to the website is an exit node, as far as that site is concerned, the exit node made the http request. If you run an exit node, your computer is going to be doing tons of requests to all kinds of websites, this may include sites that deal in illegal stuff like drugs, child prostitution, human trafficking, terrorism, etc.

edit: Forgot to say, you must explicit be running an exit node. Not every tor node is an exit node.
Uber and Lyft are different than scooter services because they leverage the network affects by the availability of drivers and wait times. Scooters could race to cover more districts and provide high availability but this can easily be commoditized. Also, cities have limits on the number of total deployed scooters within a city.

If the scooter companies can get bought by Uber or Lyft, these ride sharing services could also take on the responsibility of distributing these scooters across the city and make them highly available. That would compliment their ride sharing service tho.
>>> People on docked bikes don't ride like other bike commuters, they are a nuisance and feel like more of a danger to other cyclists and traffic in general.

A know annoyance to all car drivers: Tourists. Their RVs spoil every mountain highway. Their rental cars slow down every bridge. Their docker bikes slow down bike lanes. And their lackadaisical meandering on foot slows down airports. Anyone who is looking at the view should be legally obligated to get out of the way of anyone trying to get to work.

Every time I discuss voting with Americans, or when I read articles like this, they only focus on how to make a better system for single-winner elections. I think that is missing the main point.

I think the main problem is the single-winner election system itself, and even the best voting mathematics can do only very little to help that. They all will still lead to a two-party system.

Only the presidential elections need to be single-winner. But for all other political bodies, a proportional system where at least 5 to 10 representatives are chosen from each voting district, would be better. Choosing e.g. 10 winners from a single voting district with a proportional voting system would set the election threshold to 10%, so any party with at least 10% support would get at least one representative. This is how almost every European country runs their elections. (Only UK and France still use single-winner systems.)

This is the only way to bring diversity and options to the political landscape. And by having more than 2 viable parties, you would have more diverse political discussions, too.

And even for the single-winner presidential elections, more than 2 parties would have the existing organization and funding structures to plausible run campaigns and candidates, so as a byproduct you would get diversity and options for the presidential elections, too.

I do recognize that it is problematic to organize proportional voting for (a) the Senate and (b) for those states that have less than 5 House representatives. For example, you'd need to pool Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, N Dakota and S Dakota into one voting district. But even if you went with proportional voting only for the House, you'd still have more than 2 viable parties in each state, who each could make serious attempts to run for the 2 senators. So you would still get more than 2 parties represented in the Senate, too.
I've never encountered such usage (as figuratively). For emphasis yes, that's not uncommon. But why is the later wrong?

A little ad-tracking here and there isn't necessarily foul play. Sleazy, sure. That's not the same as unfettered, cataclysmic access to tens of millions of users personal lives. I think what makes the Facebook thing so awful too is that people have a rather reasonable expectation that private things remain private, whereas the average 4chan user maintains some degree of privacy by merit of not identifying themselves. If it really came to it and if there was a concerted effort to at least maintain some integrity of the identifiability of what got collected, most 4chan users wouldn't leave the platform if there was a basic ad-tracking layer built. 4chan needs money, they all know that. Sometimes you gotta play the game a little bit, if it was done right, they'd play.

Your living a pipe dream if you think that a bike, ebike, or electric scooter can't kill someone. 180lbs going 15-20MPH smashing into someone who is unaware, someone who is elderly or very young, etc etc. Rolling stops should be done much much slower than that I'm aware, however the problem is peoples perception of what they can get away with furthers then... currently the LAW is to STOP but instead people roll cause they feel they can get away with it, when the LAW is to ROLL they will start to blow through it (many already do anyway)...
If your only requirement is performance, then you'd probably be better off using Go or Node. My guess is you would use Julia for a web server when it ties into other things you're using Julia for.

But maybe I'm wrong here. It seems that "use the right tool" turns into use Python or JS or Excel for all the things.

I'm not knowledgeable on this topic at all, but I can tell that the bulk of julia development hasn't involved a lot of thought towards web technologies. So I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the infrastructure just isn't really there to support web servers well in julia.

That said, my personal favourite thing about julia is not actually its speed but the fact that it's an incredibly expressive, flexible and composable language (I'd say julia learned all the mot important lessons lisp had to teach). If I had to guess, I'd think that building the infrastructure for devs to work on web servers from the ground up may very well be easier in julia than in most other langauges, including python. I may be off the mark though.

One other note since it was mentioned elsewhere, there actually is work being done right now to have julia compile to WebAssembly code which could be pretty cool!
Scooter share services seriously are awesome, they bring mobility to the underserved in a way that buses extremely struggle to. They're awesomely cheap, and Bird can add demand to any area simply by trucking in a new load of scooters.

I don't know how long it'll last, but normal people can even make money charging them. It's got me considering spending $200 on my own scooter, though I think I'll just use the service until I'm ready to bite that bullet.
And what is wrong with Men in Black? I love that movie.
Ultimate goal of the Tor project, that is. Lots of people in this comment thread seem to have not clicked the link and are presuming that this is a Firefox roadmap. The Mozilla analogue of this page only mentions bringing Tor features into Firefox, without stating a goal of obviating the Tor Browser entirely.
