(not a full-time job, just me doing a solid for our UX designer by throwing it in ;-D there is compensation though, and it only takes about an hour of your time. We'll mail you a PDF of our findings as well. )

Storj develops an open-source, decentralized cloud storage platform called Storj (pronounced storage) that is disrupting the cloud storage market. Rather than storing files in a data center, Storj works by encrypting and partitioning files, then sending the shards to a network of devices contributed by our global community—with active storage nodes on every continent except Antarctica. We rent unused hard drive space from users all over the globe, operating active storage nodes on every continent (except Antarctica). Our core target is selling to software developers and channel partners who get higher quality, privacy, and security at 1/6th the price. We are laying the groundwork for the future of decentralization and web 3.0.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Storj is a global company with North American employees in California, Washington, Utah, Michigan, and Georgia, and European employees in Germany and Bulgaria.

Most of our engineering team sits in Atlanta, where the company was founded. We're in the Atlanta Tech Village, Buckhead. The bulk of our marketing team is in our downtown Salt Lake City office at the Impact Hub co-office building located at 150 S. State Street.

When was that "before", though?

Stormfront was probably the best-known forum like that before Gab. And it has been around since early 90s, first as a BBS, then as an actual web site.
This is a good point. What about a person who has a pattern of accusing multiple people over time? If each of the accused individuals are all not accused by others, would this undermine the accusers credibility?

I wish this was hypothetical, but I once worked with a person that had 3 individuals over 2 years fired for this. Eventually they went too far and HR had to come to grips with an obvious mental illness being the root cause. This person was a great engineer and a good friend, which made it even harder for me and others to admit to ourselves the delusional nature of the claims.
> Most people in power are rational self interested actors.

That gave me a chuckle
I made a living using LinkedIn’s sales navigator premium subscription to field prospects. It required me to (a) have a large amount of connections in the first place and (b) have a solution for large enough companies to be represented on LinkedIn. (I did electrical product contract manufacturing sales)

Once the decision-maker position is knowable thanks to (a) + the subscription, it was quick to find a name to use to break into the fort so to speak via a “two-touch” method of email and cold calling. A sale at the end of the day begins with a conversation and a persistence in continuing the contact in order to accelerate a deal.

It’s important to note that presentation goes a very long way; it helps I write in my leisure and have a fastidiousness which shows off in my email templates. That’s where I think many cold callers fail: they are too urgent or come across as too unprofessional which registers as a sense of risk before the relationship can even begin.

Finally, everything involves iterating. I was able to comfortably deliver my sales pitch in under 10 seconds over the phone to some of the largest retail buyers in North America by crafting the message via answering the question: “what is it they need to hear?”

10 seconds is a lot of time, but not so much time that it will leave a bad taste in the customers mouth if they have no current interest. You are trying to help them, after all, and they should be able to receive that first impression no matter what.
I haven't found this to be a problem. Worst case with Southwest, I get a bad position in line, leaving only seats I don't like. Any other airline could assign me a seat I don't like earlier in the process, and it's not always possible to change especially without paying extra.
Definitely. Maybe need to get Google to buy my startup and I’ll go spend a couple years in service :)

If I’m ever in DC I’ll reach out. Would love to take a tour and learn more.

Best of luck to you and the team, Matt. Email is in my profile if I can ever be of assistance.

Relicensing is not something that the BSD license permits. The license family is permissive, but a user doesn't have the right to strip out the copyright notice and call it a day.
5 stories is not a “high rise”.

But in any event, if you live someplace with a shortage of housing supply relative to demand, including many people who would be happy to live in studio or 1-bedroom apartments, then it becomes absurd to have most available land zoned to only allow buildings with <2 story single family detached houses on largish lots with strict parking requirements and sad little unused yards in the back, as happens e.g. in San Francisco and many nearby cities. Housing prices get driven up to absurd levels making the whole region unaffordable except to the best-paid professionals.

You end up with a large number of 2-bedroom single-family houses occupied by groups of 20-somethings sleeping in bunk beds; workers essential to the basic functioning of society commuting hours each way every day; schoolteachers working extra part-time jobs so they can afford to sleep in someone’s closet; families raising multiple kids while renting a small in-law unit in someone else’s back yard; people forced to move away when they get married because they can’t afford to live anywhere but their current rented multi-roommate spaces, the prices of everything in the economy going up but all of the difference siphoned off by large land-owners, ....

Having a few people’s gardens shadowed for part of the day by 3–5 story apartment buildings just isn’t that big a problem in comparison.
> What do you mean by his ideas on how to educate children ? Not dumbing down , and in the process use computers ?

Well, I took away a lot more than 'not dumbing down'. One of the key things he described is the fact that very few people can sustain their attention for ingesting information, and that getting anyone engaged in practice and exploration at the right level is crucial to them successfully mastering concepts. The 't-ball for x' idea. Whether teachers are teaching stuff that's dumbed down or not turns out not to make a difference: People learn stuff by grappling with it in a 'hands on' way. Getting real mathematicians and scientists involved to create these kinds of environments is part of this. He led with saying this has been said before. My own take is that he said it very well, but clearly that's not everyone's experience. What were the pseudo-scientific statements that stand out for you? My detector didn't go off on anything as pseudo science.
> Something small and unobtrusive but which would at twitter scale add up to an awful lot of moolah.

That only works if there is something else preventing competitors from monetizing end-user attention instead. That's possible, but (I don't think) probable.
You are not wrong. You shouldn't believe me over anyone else. I'm just sharing personal experience and opinion.

If you want to form an opinion about Freud please do research what psychological community thinks about him and why. Basically, "he was asking interesting questions and giving wrong answers but we remember and value him for the questions."

> I know absolutely nothing about psychology except I read some Freud.

For me it sounds like "I know absolutely nothing about piloting aircraft except I read some notes of failed inventor that tried to build a flapping wings plane before Wright brothers flew, but noone remembers his name because aviation is not psychology."

Or "I know exactly nothing about solar system except I read some Ptolemy."

If you are interested in Freud, read Freud. If you are interested in psychology read something way more modern.

What I think distasteful is that psychological society didn't distance their trade from Freud enough and in 2018 you were under the impression that reading Freud counts in any way towards learning psychology.

And to address your more general point. How can you know if Freud is the crank or I'm the crank without knowing anything about the subject and without any interest in the subject?

You can't but it's ok since you have no interest. And if you are pressed against the wall you are safer with opinion of majority. Not even majority of psychological community. Just majority of people. Freud was famous so he can't be that bad.
i assume you don't actually know anyone at FAANG. There are plenty, believe me plenty, of average people. Of course there are superstars, and superstars gravitate there for the high pay as well as the chance to work with and learn from other superstars. but when you employ this many people, you also bring along many, many average joes.
Erm, maybe we can change the post to use Title Case? It's a little shout-y as is.

A fast-growing YC company! (S17) | Software Engineer (Full-Stack Web / Front-End / Back-End ) | Full-Time | ONSITE | SF Bay Area

Hi! I'm one of the engineers on the team :)

If you're interested in:

- Being an active participant in the decision-making process of a YC company rapidly capitalizing on an under-the-radar market opportunity

- Applying your technical skills to a meaningful domain outside of tech (while learning about industry insider nuances), that has real-world medical implications

- Being part of a small engineering team that not only measures daily active users but also physical products shipped, revenues, and real profits

- Being part of a small engineering team that ships not only software products but also physical products

- Watching how changes in your code physically impacts the operation of not just machines but the IRL work-flow of real people (specifically, pharmacists and technicians)

- Hands-on shipping of product, end-to-end! Everything from ideation --> coding --> customer delight (& wash-rinse-repeat)

then I'd love to hear from you!

Our stack: React, Node, GraphQL (+ Apollo), ES6, Raspberry Pi, AWS (RDS, ECS, CloudFront, EC2), Elasticsearch, Jenkins, Rails, Python, Linux (Ubuntu), Docker, and moar. Right tool for the job > dogma.

We have deliberately avoided press coverage around our traction, investors, and market because we have been focused on taking over the market as quickly as possible, but we will going public with what we're up to shortly in a few weeks! (I'm sorry there's no web site or company name to google for just yet--but I promise this isn't at all anywhere close to the pejorative "stealth" mode at work)

We're in the pharmacy (not pharmaceutical) space and I'm happy to elaborate more in private for serious inquiries.

We offer competitive Bay Area salary, stock equity, healthcare insurance, and other employee benefits.

What about citing some arguments from the article, so not everyone has to read 12000 words and wade throuh 60 references. It would be easier for everyone to check the validity of the argument then.

There has not been any counterpoint to original disputing of the citation.
Gab was very much created with that kind of content in mind. Its creator was specifically concerned with "left-leaning Big Social media monopoly", after Facebook and Twitter started censoring alt-right accounts. Which is not surprising, given his past history:

Not just the US. iOS is also majority in all the anglosphere countries: uk, canada, australia

Then it has about 70% in japan. Europe is a bit lower, around 30-35%. And then the result of the world is android by a vast margin.

So in all the rich markets, iphone puts in a majority or good showing. Whereas android dominates at lower price points where the iphone doesn't compete.

surprised google made you an offer at all. 16 years experience and only slotting in at T4 is a rejection.
I'm not arguing that those methods aren't popular, but that 'we' are not all moving away from passcodes to using them. There are still folks using passcodes, and passcodes continue to be a supported authentication mechanism.

I’ve worked on mapping software, and in fact on street name placement
(Not Google or Apple). The code we had for deciding where and when to draw street names has to be among the most complicated, full-of-edge-cases code I have ever encountered. Engineering is pulling one direction, data providers are pulling another direction. UX is pulling this direction, cartography is pulling that direction. Everybody in the company wants to bike-shed about it and insert their opinions because the problem to them “seems so easy.”

I’m not going to go into too many specifics but for most map products I’ve worked on, the usual reason that a label doesn’t appear somewhere is because the map data provider hard-codes the potential places where a label could be displayed, and it’s not “everywhere along the road”. You might be zooming into a place where a cartographer chose not to add a label point. Good map software will try to sensibly fill in these gaps but are not perfect. Too aggressive about adding labels and you have the artists and cartographers telling you some areas on the map are too cluttered. Not aggressive enough, and some areas on the map are bare.

It’s maddening getting those bugs saying “I think there are too many labels”, backing it off, then a few days later getting the bugs, “I can’t find the street label next to my house!” Lots of simple-to-whiteboard solutions would work well for your particular neighborhood but look terrible in Manhattan or rural Idaho, not to mention Japan. It’s really not simple.
Rewards programs are basically the buy 9 coffees get the 10th free program. Grocery stores do gas rewards to favor certain purchases (presumably the more profitable ones or the ones they need to move) in lieu of discounting and then they also get to track everything you buy!
> as a consumer, I'd rather not dictate how it wants to run its shop.

Think about that statement. Think about it carefully.

You're a consumer. You and people like you are the entire means by which this company earns its money. You really have no interest in how it does so? Even when it has massively significant (statistically speaking--if not you then hundreds of millions of people like you) influence on your life?
The "red vs blue team" thing is a US thing, and it is created by the structure of our political (and, especially, our electoral) system. First-past-the-post voting, combined with widely open primaries, result in both parties gradually drifting apart over time, and dragging their constituencies with them. That this erupts into verbal (and, occasionally, non-verbal) violence is not surprising, but what you see on social media is the symptom, not the cause.
That's what I do on my phone. I have a fairly lengthy passphrase and Smart Lock.
I'm the same. I've skipped out on maybe a dozen flights of points. I don't have an account. I just don't want to be bothered. I have plenty of wealth and don't need your point system.

I extend this everywhere. I don't have enough a single points card anywhere.

The only thing I use is Canadian Tire money because it's fun and stupid but they're even replacing that with a stupid points card.
It seems better if green is reserved for public parks. That way you can always find places you can go. What use is all that green?
Low-cost carriers have very different businesses too focused on lowering costs. The "low-cost" in the name refers to the carrier's costs, not the customers. They typically have all-economy planes and use a single aircraft model (e.g. easyJet exclusively flies the Airbus A320 family), which dramatically lowers crew and maintenance costs. They also offer little flexibility, have no interline agreements, and have no additional services (meals, etc.).
> One of the best managers I've ever worked under (indirectly) was not technical and didn't pretend to be. What she did know was people and organizations.

I don't mean to create a debate around sexism in the workplace, but could this be because in general in the US, we expect males to have a big ego while for women its OK to be not have one? As a male, I've had trouble with my ego getting in the way pretty often but I try to recognize that and be better about it.
I agree that my claim was unsubstantiated and redact it.

What I was trying to convey is that I would expect people who don't understand or care enough about their personal privacy would use more popular and mainstream messengers. Whether people who care about privacy consider phone numbers private or not is something we need data to determine.

> Where's your survey data that says Signal users just can't stand the phone-number-as-id thing?

That's exactly what I'm asking for. At this point, we're both speculating. None of us can make solid claims about either userbase without providing evidence. tptacek most certainly can't claim " a small but vocal minority of Signal's user base wants non-phone-number identification" without providing evidence either, which is the original objection that started this thread.

Don't expect people to take your reason for dismissing their concerns seriously when you base it on your personal perception or beliefs in stead of facts, and don't make unsubstantiated claims to discredit their concerns.
> the leveling data is local to each company.

No, it's not. They explicitly try to match up levels across companies. You can see this in action if you go to the page for submitting leveling data for a company: https://www.levels.fyi/create.html.
Having a high degree of confidence that you are capable of building what you are selling is a given.
