Threema GmbH | Pfäffikon SZ (near Zürich), Switzerland | https://threema.ch/en | ONSITE

- Senior Software Engineer Android (Java / Kotlin) 80-100%

- Web Developer (PHP / JS / MySQL) 80-100%

Threema is a mobile messenger focused on privacy, launched in 2012. The business model is paying our expenses by selling the app (around 3€ one-time) as well as business subscriptions (called Threema Work, same app but with MDM capabilities). There are no external investors, the company is fully self-funded (and will stay that way). We manage our own bare-metal servers (no cloud). Leading principles are always user privacy, end-to-end encryption and storing as little user data as technically possible. Around 5 million active users, mostly in Germany / Switzerland. Clients include Daimler, Bosch and the Swiss government (no, there's no backdoor). For technical details, see the crypto whitepaper: https://threema.ch/press-files/2_documentation/cryptography_...

We're a small team, almost all employees are developers (the 3 founders are also devs). Flat hierarchies, a lot of freedoms in how you work. Homeoffice day possible. The usual perks (private health insurance, standing desks, pinball machine, espresso machine). Good work/life balance (nice bike trails and paragliding spots close to the office). And of course, Switzerland is generally a great place to work!

(Some keywords for the Ctrl+F people:) Programming languages we use at the company: Java (Android) / C / Objective C / Swift / Rust / Python / PHP / TypeScript. The infrastructure runs on FreeBSD and Linux servers. Both apps (iOS / Android) are fully native (no cross-platform frameworks). We also do a few things with WebRTC (webclient and calls).

With the Android position, you'd be the person responsible for the Threema Android app. With the Web Dev position, you'd be mostly involved in developing the web based management platform for our business customers.

If you'd like to apply, you should have good German language skills. We could probably help with visa applications though, in case you'd need to relocate.

I think that's about it. If you'd like to know more, let me know at db@threema.ch (or via Threema 43C98BNT). I hope I'll be able to answer any questions :)
> That's not necessarily true though is it? [..] Two people can have different interpretations of events without one of them making maliciously false allegations.

You don't even have to go that far - the allegation could be true, but newly uncovered evidence could cast sufficient doubt that the accused is not found guilty. E.g. an eyewitness correctly identifies an assailant, but it is later revealed she wasn't wearing her prescription glasses.
It's definitely not ad hominem, nor am I dismissing him. He is absolutely and indisputably a cognitive psychologist. And I would say that Enlightenment Now is clearly a popular science piece.

Nothing is wrong with that. But he is just not a primary source on this data. So there is no refutation to be made in this context. Go to the bibliography, find the citation for the statistics that he used, and those can be discussed. I don't have the book and can't quickly obtain it, so I cannot provide that information.
What does remote mean to you? Bit confusing to have remote and then list specific cities? Are you expecting people to live in those cities while being remote? If so, why?

I dreamed of opening up a vegetarian canteen style restaurant. A place that serves cheap, nutritious, and delicious food and where people from all classes and walks of life could sit down for a meal. I've thinking about making a vegetarian restaurant that doesn't advertise itself as such. All the food should be delicious no matter what, not delicious for being vegetarian. It should take people a minute to realize that there is no meat in any of the dishes. I wonder how that would do in the United States.

They are serious tools for professionals and you have to learn how to use them. I don't know why people think they should be able to use things without training these days. Once you know what you're doing, the toolchains are solid as a rock.

The odd thing here is that in the US, dentists work more like you expect doctors to in Mexico.

You can generally go to any arbitrary dentist and ask "how much does procedure X cost?", and get an itemized estimate that will be very close to what you actually pay. I have never heard of paying to be a "member" first.

It was explained to me that the reason dentists operate differently is that historically very few people had dental insurance (either their plan didn't offer it or they declined coverage), so dentists developed fair pricing and kept price lists so their patients would know if they could afford a particular procedure. Now that dental insurance is common, the practice remains because most plans have a yearly maximum, so if you need expensive work done (e.g., multiple implants), the dentists/oral surgeons will work with you to schedule work so you are only billed up to your yearly maximum.

It's far from a panacea but it works better than the medical insurance system.
I am quite a bit more cynical and see these DPAs as a way for the corporation to be absolved of the nebulous liability that comes from "We did bad stuff, we're still waiting to see if anyone notices" with a slap on the wrists. A DPA seems like literally the closest you can get to pardoning without actually slapping the corporation on the back and publicly saying "Good job buddy, do some more of that"

A measure of how unjust our culture is is whether crimes that violate these DPAs go unpunished or not... compared to first time drug offenders that get decades behind bars for possession.

My barber doesn’t have online booking or phone booking. You walk in and take a seat, or wait in the line if it’s busy.

I asked him why not. He told me that he used to take bookings, and stopped for a few reasons:

1. A lot of people book appointments and don’t show up, or show up late, causing him down time and reduces his income. If a regular client shows up late for his 30 minute appointment does he make another customer - also booked - wait?

2. He can cut some people’s hair in 15 minutes while others it might take 40. By having booking it limits this flexibility. He can also charge more or less depending on how long it takes.

3. Walk ins are self regulating. People know when it’s likely to be busy and when it’s likely to be quieter. If they don’t mind waiting they come at a busy time. If they want to be in and out quickly they go off peak.
Google should include this kind of projects under the Google Cloud Platform. Google has too many products, and they can't integrate well with each other because of this.
The very first line in this article is just silly:

"Does what I eat have an effect on climate change?
Yes. The world’s food system is responsible for about one-quarter of the planet-warming"

What you personally eat will make a tiny percentage of a fraction of 7 billionth difference.

Let's not just wash our hands of the issue and say "it's not my fault" - let's focus on encouraging action at the national and global level.

360Player | Senior Backend, Senior Frontend | Stockholm, Sweden | Full time | ONSITE

360Player is an app for soccer players, coaches, teams, clubs and everyone else involved in a player’s career. We provide professional tools and data to all clubs, involve the players more in their careers and teams, and ensure communication is centralised. Our long term goal is to reduce selection of players based on physical attributes in young ages, since kids born early in the year or are early in puberty have an advantage not present in adults.

We’re working in Go in the backend, and React + Cordova for the app.

This is a good point, but it ignores the often forgotten other half of the equation - human (or in this case animal) eyes. The human eye has orders of magnitude more dynamic range than the best DSLR cameras. This means in edge cases the camera will not see something important, such as a person, when a human will. And when I say the camera will not see it, I mean even a person looking at the camera will not see it, because the image is obscured or washed out or something similar.

Haiku (YC W18) | Senior Engineer, Generalist | REMOTE (Based in San Francisco, CA)

Haiku's mission is to "revolutionize software creation by unifying design and code." We're an early-stage but well funded funded team of 6. Are you #7?

We're seeking a language-agnostic[1] senior developer who shares our passion for "the holy grail" of unifying design & code. We approach this through a commercial lens, but have lofty ambitions that require some invention + innovation. You'll be working on compilers, cross-platform native tech (Android expertise a huge plus!,) UIs, rendering performance, our server stack, and everything in between.

We're an adventurous, tight-knit team. We offer excellent comp (with an option for no-BS significant equity ownership,) medical/dental benefits, and unique perks like remote-team summits. Last year we all met up in Patagonia.[2]

Reach out to jobs@haikuforteams.com with your resume — we're being very picky with this hire, but we'd love to chat if you're up to the challenge.

[1] Our stack includes TypeScript + the depths of the `tsc` compiler (e.g. AST work); Swift + Objective-C; Kotlin + Java; Web/high-performance rendering work; Typescript + Vue UIs, Typescript/Javascript + React UIs; Go + SQL for servers.

I periodically think about this line I found on the C2 wiki:

"I believe it is time to explicitly state the long held secret of software, we do not need to do design; design is ineffective and costly." --Wayne Mack

It's really hard to argue with a money printing machine. That theoretically it might print faster or at least longer for a bigger integral, after doing things that seem to slow down printing now, is also hard to believe if the person you're arguing with has never experienced such a non-linear outcome.
In a daily standup, it should be about commitments _to your teammates_, not to management. In other words, Bob needs to do X before Alice can do Y, so Bob commits to Alice about his work on X. If there's problems, they can talk about it. That's not the same as some middle manager coming in and going, you need to do X to hit some KPI.

Senior Full-stack engineer looking to move into Product/Project management.

I worked remotely as a freelancer and in small teams for almost 8 years, including as the Senior/Lead Full-stack developer for 5+. On most of the jobs I also took part in Project/Product management tasks, on some in UI/UX design and DevOps.

My main expertise is JS/Node. I worked with Node from 0.6x in production, recently started committing to Node.js. Have interest in static/dynamic code analysis, editor plugins.
This is what happens when you keep innovating and others stall. The latest generation of Iphone are expensive and not much different from the previous generation. Samsung made a few serious mistakes too, including the exploding incident. Recently Samsung fold phone has been reported to be a disaster. Huawei has been innovating. Huawei phone's cameras are top notch. Huawei works with Leica for phone cameras. Huawei's foldable phones don't have the same problems as Samsung Fold yet.
At some point, foreign nations are different and we just have to deal with it. We got habeas corpus and other processes from the Magna Carta back in the eleventh century B.C., and the resultant English Common Law shaped the justice systems of America and other nations. It is not fair of us to expect all justice systems to align with ours.

For an extreme example of this issue, look at the Middle East. They have simply never taken to democracy, and a good number of people are of the opinion it is simply an issue with their culture. This is why nation-building fails there. Japan is so to a lesser degree. They Westernized more due to losing WWII to America, but are still different. It's not our job to play world police.
I don't eat bacon.

I also don't share your view on the ethics of eating other intelligent beings (from different species). Many other animals eat other animals, and for this they have to kill them and cause them pain. The pain comes from the fact that animals do not easily die, and our death is almost always painful and horrifying.

But- why shoud humans be any different than other animals, when it comes to the ethics of killing other animals and causing them pain in order to feed on their meat? Other animals don't have any compunctions about doing the same to humans. Why are humans so special that it is immoral for us to eat meat?

I worked with DataCamp through their course authors program and found it to be a poorly run organization. They maintain a publicly accessible "wishlist" of courses that they claim to want to develop. Think twice before putting your course proposal forward: they'll want free labor from you in a form of course outlines and code samples. After you send these over to them, they'll tell you that they are no longer interested in working with you on the course from the wishlist and ask for other outlines and samples. Courtesy requests that are a norm in the industry, like taking a course off the wishlist while you are working on it are ignored.
