Waive | Los Angeles LA Hollywood | Fullstack PHP Python Product Automotive Mechanical Electrical Engineer | Onsite - Full-Time | DoE

We're a (mostly) electric urban mobility company founded in 2015, a bit before the current wave of them being everywhere.

I'm running a team of 4 engineers and am looking for a few more at our family-sized company which may be doing some scaling soon. We have tens of thousands of customers, millions in assets, it's a real thing.

Here's our plan for the next year or so, listed in order (highest first):

* A new ad platform for our screens (a version we're going to throw away is at waivescreen.com)

* An on-demand gig economy car (see maven, envoy, hyrecar, and getaround for imho, poorly executed examples). This includes

* backoffice work (currently in node but new stuff can be in whatever)

* a new app or some other kind of smartphone presence (stability and Donald-Norman style UX as opposed to art-school UX is all I care about)

* New innovative ad tech (see firefly, grabbit, blip, adomni, etc)

* Open-architecture, open platform telematics that don't suck (see invers & vulog)

This may sound a bit ambitious but really a lamp developer who has read a couple marketing books would be just fine.

So just email me already at chris@waive.car ... you've already made it this far.

Please include a sample of your work.
Thanks! I don't understand this yet but I bookmarked it for later :) I saw some similar answers via Google.
You refuse to accept that there's a possibility of something in a domain you have no understanding of... That sounds like a very illogical refutation in itself
I think you learned the wrong lesson. You shouldn't spoil your own fun because a bunch of savants can't see the forest for the trees. The secret of gaming is that the objective isn't to get the highest score / lowest time, it's to have fun playing.

On the surface of the Moon, there is no oxygen and the rocks are bombarded by UV and other forms of radiation. That's got to lead to some interesting chemical reactions.
All the infrastructure you can built won't solve the fundamental problem: humans are taking water out of the ground faster than it can be replenished, and there are more of them taking more and more water each year. Eventually the train will plow through the buffers...
Yeh in MOBAs it is totally this. Less reacting in 150ms to a visual queue. More I have been in this situation 100 times and expect character X to do Y right now. That’s why there is a whole psychology around moving in unpredictable manners at a certain level. Similar to the whole master swordsman fearing a novice more than another master.
> While capturing Crimea by RF was extremely reprehensible, there was not much at stake there for any side not directly involved in the conflict.

There was something else still: the population of Crimea was mostly Russian. Like, really Russian. Using only Russian language, calling hryvnas rubles, and in general feeling Russian. Many of these people actually liked the idea of Crimea being a part of Russia (at least before the invasion - things changed a bit since then). In HK the situation is completely different: people know what kind of country China is, and will fight for whatever rights they still have.
1. How do you know that is actually done by the protestors, or some unaffiliated hooligans?

2. How do you know that the news coverage of the event will accurately make a distinction between the two? My experience with this is that the distinction that is made is always conveniently aligned with the political leanings of the news source.

Postulate: Maybe the 'peaceful' versus 'non-peaceful' demonstrations isn't actually a relevant dimension - and is a distraction, used to condemn some protests (that you politically oppose) as illegitimate, and to endorse others, as legitimate?

Every demonstration is going to have a few vandals and hooligans, either planted, embedded, or just standing on the sidelines. I postulate that it doesn't alter the legitimacy of their grievances.
I sincerely do not believe that. Somewhere in there is a joke like "They trust me with their data. Suckers" - Mark Zuckerberg. An obviously tongue-in-cheek comment that can be interpreted in a different way.

Lots of people believed what you did, but you only need to have said one thing.
And if you have retention you need retrieval, and backups, and audit trails for access, and pretty soon you're a SAP customer suffering the Curse of Greyface.

I did change careers to escape that...
Almost everything they design seems to require a case as well, which contradicts the spirit of the wonderful looking products they sell. Camera bumps that scrape against tables on all of the iDevices, and laptop feet so shallow that the bottom of my MacBook is scuffed up in the center from normal use have cosmetically destroyed my uncased devices.

I concede that I mostly work on web applications that don't require that level of performance.

You're certainly right, there IS a performance difference, and in high-computing workloads, such as the one this parser is used for.

From a "regular" web developer perspective (ie. where you only a few servers/VPS's MAX) a lot of newcomers often worry about performance, and usually for most web development the answer with performance is "Yes language [here] is faster then Python/Javascript/Ruby/etc. But those languages/frameworks allow us to develop our application far faster, and ~10ms isn't an issue." Only after performance bottlenecks are discovered would we consider breaking out pieces into a lower level language.

You're completely right though, in HPC it is totally worth worrying about every millisecond, I took the wrong perspective with the implications of the performance differences.
If you are looking at it from the perspective of enough tax being paid then it doesn't really matter.

If you are trying to consider whether it is fair then you would dump corporation tax in an instant and start considering capital gains and dividends as normal income.
That's a brilliant business model. They get all the money up front, get to invest how they want, and if there is a price increase, it probably will be less than inflation, and almost certainly less than their investment returns on your upfront payment.
VAT is not paid by companies!

I run a VAT registered business… I discount all the VAT I pay my suppliers against the VAT I charge my customers, and send the balance to HMRC

Every VAT registered company does the same - non VAT registered businesses and individuals pay VAT
The climate cost isnt inherent in commuting though, only for commutes in a personal vehicle. Commutes by public transportation may have much lower per capita emissions (for a well utilized system), and marginally the carbon difference of adding one more commuter to an existing transit system is effectively 0

You don't need to be moving at all for a fall off a bike to cause severe head injury or death. Their 120 deaths and 3400 serious injuries per year, on a population of 17M, demonstrate that it is about as unsafe you would expect, even with bike-friendly infrastructure.

This is exactly what common sense suggested and it's borne out in the data[1]. You sarcasm, condescension, and arrogance were uncalled for, whether or not I was incorrect. You can argue the benefits are worth the costs, but that's a different discussion.

Making cigarettes and alcohol illegal makes them illegal. There is a reason you find tiny stores that sell just alcohol and cigarettes all over in poor neighborhoods: they are the only thing high enough margin to work out. If such stores can sell the high margin products they then have enough money to stock lower margin things as well.

Besides, with the problems of drinking and driving, you should want alcohol stores nearby to drinkers can get their fix without having to drive to the store.
Getaway | Brooklyn, NY (or close by, able to drop in twice a month) | Back End Developer, Rails | Full-Time | Onsite (or nearby) | https://getaway.house

If you’re reading this job description, you’re probably someone that spends a lot of time on the computer and the internet. Although we at Getaway leverage these tools like any other business does, our product seeks to physically take our customers away from these things in an effort to find the magic and relaxation they’ve so desperately been seeking. We’re putting tiny houses on camp sites in remote locations so our “users” can get away and set up a high-speed interface with their humanity. We create and maintain technology that, in some cases invisibly, enables a mystical experience for our guests and removes stress from their lives!

Getaway is a small but rapidly growing team that just raised a $22.5M Series B financing round. Our offices our located in Downtown Brooklyn but we are open to semi-remote candidates that can visit our offices at least twice a month.

The Back End Developer will focus on the following areas:
- Building new features for and maintaining the current functionality of our website, written with a Ruby on Rails back end and a React/SASS front end, in a semi-agile working environment
- Brainstorming and iterating on existing features, with some projects in the next few months including a new accounts portal for our guests, a new financial data analysis software to be built, and ensuring our site can handle more traffic as we scale
- Some minor developer operations tasks ensuring the website is serving our customers well and performing to our expectations - we’re hosted currently on Heroku
- Supporting the cabin automation effort, working on software to make the guest experience seamless and magical, including work on our house door lock automation software and leak sensors, for instance. This is mostly written in Ruby and Groovy, soon moving to all Python and Ruby
- Writing internal tools to support our Guest Experience team and make it extremely easy for guests to get the things they need to have a wonderful time on their Getaways
- Continuing to find efficiencies and ways to leverage software to improve our team’s workflows and the way we do business
- Occasionally writing code in front of a fire, if you so desire (for real!)

We’re looking for someone with around 2 years of experience but don’t want anyone to shy away from applying if they think they’re a real “rockstar/ninja/etc”. This is not a junior development role and those straight out of school or bootcamp need not apply, unfortunately we just don’t have the resources to support such a candidate at this time.

Interested developers should send a short cover letter and resume to jobs@getaway.house, subject line, “Back End Developer Role”.
That's the real leverage. Hong Kong's true potential is still there to be uncovered, and people remember how flourishing it was back then. Imagine how it could all blow up to even higher highs if the PRC rule was completely gone from Hong Kong. I feel like if that gate opens in the near future (i know, wishful thinking), HK will have its new golden age, as companies and individuals will not need to worry about PRC influence on HK anymore.

In the same way that software is eating the world, software management is eating traditional company management. Software projects are getting more important, sometimes centrally important to the future viability to more and more companies that aren't traditionally software oriented. Software projects are moving up the stack so they touch every part of an organization.

Agile is being blamed for problems that are really organizational, company-wide issues that a software team has to deal with because they now are central to how everything runs. The author's suggest to read more general business/organizational management type books is apropos, because the overall goal is agility of the entire organization, not just the software team.
I don't mean to be rude, but the rest of my comment explains why. If there's something about it that's confusing I'd love to clarify it.

My new Android is an Google Pixel 3a. Cost me $399 ($430-ish with tax and/or shipping). It's quite nice, and likely the best phone under $500. The camera is quite nice, too. Battery life seems decent enough, it lasts me the day with moderate-to-heavy usage. With Cricket Wireless, it $50/month with unlimited data on AT&T's network. I'm pretty happy!

I had briefly mentioned this in the "P.S." section of my original comment, but I appreciate you adding more concrete and specific examples.
I highly agree with Spelunky as a recommendation based on initiating comment.
The terms "tear it to pieces", "ripped it to shreds", "destroyed" seem so emotive. It seems like these people loved the game enough to try and beat it in creative new ways and that seems really awesome. Minecraft thrived on similar hackery in the early days too.
I feel like fixed precision neural nets are probably the future of branch prediction. Both 'hardcoding' a neural net on a large amount of software and then designing the weights into the CPU in a ROM, but also dynamic approaches to deciding which prediction strategy to use for a specific branch based on state recorded by another neural net.

Approaches like this have been used as a fun exercise, but now I think we're reaching the point where single thread performance is so important, and mispredicts are getting more expensive, so it's worth taking quite a big power and area hit to get a few more percentage points of performance...
Gamesense is the word you're looking for.

CSGO is a fantastic example where someone with poor aiming skills but good gamesense (holding angles, using echo-location where you move your view to triangulate opponents based on how the sound moves and what type of footstep sounds are generated, timings, grenade throws, etc) can wreck opponents with poor gamesense and better aiming skills.

I have gotten reported for walling but people just need to realize how much damn noise they make.
GPT-2 generated text in general has much higher signal-to-noise ratio on output. (about 10% are good, which is much, much better than the 1% with RNN approaches)
China didn't handicap shit. Hong Kong's rise in the first place was entirely due to China's self-inflicted communism and external sanctions in the first decades after the Revolution. (Shanghai was the Paris of the East before that.) Ever since that stopped, Hong Kong was no longer as important by default. Hong Kong's special status was always predicated on somehow China failing, including now (rule of law, etc.).

This is why the underlying sentiment of Hong Kong independence is especially offensive to Chinese sensibilities.

> But I'm disappointed that the Blackbird wasn't at a lower price point

This sentiment is why I believe open systems, like the Raptor or RISC-V, are doomed to never become truly popular. There are too many people more concerned with cost and/or performance than freedom.

The thing about Celeste is that it's essentially two games in one. The first game is when you play it with only the abilities explicitly taught by the game up to that point (for most of the game, just jump, climb, and dash), and the second is when you go back and replay it from the beginning, having learned about wallbounces and hyper dashes and such. The level layouts of the "second game" are all identical to the first, of course, but the traversal becomes completely different with the mobility allowed by these newly-learned moves. (More recently, you could argue a third game has developed around un-taught and unintended tech like ultra dashes and demodashes, but you get the idea.)

But at least for me, the existence of this second game (and third) does not in any way detract from the quality or enjoyability of the first one. The speedrunners are basically playing a different game, and unlike most other video games, in Celeste this is by design.
Awesome thanks for the data!

> 58°C feels really hot when you touch the SoC.

This obviously depends on the heat conductivity of the surface, but from my experience with my 3D printer, ~55C/60C is about the cutoff for pain tolerance for me. Just below that temperature is holdable, after that temperature is when it's painful to touch.
Ultimately, these days programming is table stakes - IMHO you get zero credit for knowing how to code. The best developers are those who are able to step up and actually interact with people to articulate and understand problems. Whether that's with fellow developers about code, with managers/stakeholders about technical things, or with end-users/clients about users needs.

You're more than welcome to want to sit in isolation and code away, but I would suspect you would find it difficult to do this and be happy. I've never worked in a team that would work with someone like that.

This is the reason affordable housing needs to be built 40 years ago.

If a large apartment building was built in 1979 with a target rent price of $500/mo, that would have been considered a high-end development. Today, that building could (not necessarily will) provide low-income housing. As it would be paid off and $500/mo per unit could probably still provide enough money for maintenance and upkeep.
I work in automotive and I see these small volume companies as a total waste for rich people.

Quality in a low volume car is terrible. Things are not tested, so they fail often, and the cars are repaired.

I cannot imagine the best engineers building a quality, low volume car.

Note that car quality, and features are different things.

But even with that, a mainstream luxury brand will destroy these small volume counterparts.
