Standard Notes | Senior Fullstack Developer | Remote, Chicago | Full-time

Standard Notes is looking for our first full stack engineer. This is a high-autonomy job, and you will have a large say in shaping the architecture of the product.

Our technology stack includes:

- JavaScript (web app)

- React Native (mobile app)

- Electron (desktop app wrapping web app)

- Ruby on Rails (servers and website)

- AWS (Linux/MySQL)

JavaScript experience is crucial, and Ruby/Rails experience is optimal.

The salary range for this role is $50k-$65k USD, which makes this an ideal position for Europe and South America based developers. If you have different salary requirements, please mention this in your email.

You'll be working directly with our engineering founder (Mo) to scale and improve our product, and solve interesting problems at the intersection of privacy/security and user-friendly productivity software. This role has the potential to lead quite naturally into a leadership/VP position in a short period of time, with the right candidate.

You can take a look at most of our stack on our GitHub page (github.com/standardnotes). Feel free to browse around, and if working on projects like these sounds like something you'd be into, get in touch! Please send your resume, along with any online profiles (personal site, GitHub, StackOverflow, Twitter, etc), to mo@standardnotes.org.

Per capita emissions is not the right metric. It seems like it should be, but if you compare by that metric you're really measuring poverty below a certain threshold. A poor nation might have low CO2 per capita just because it's poor, but what production they do have could be fantastically inefficient (and often is due to old technology). As they climb out of poverty, as all seem to be doing, they'll become huge emitters.

Emissions per GDP is probably the best we have as GDP is a decent proxy for productivity, making it a real measure of efficiency. If the goal is to actually reduce emissions the goal must be to reduce CO2 emitted per unit of productivity, so you want to emulate the wealthier nations that have low CO2/GDP scores. That means emulating policies like renewable energy, efficiency standards, well designed cities, etc.

China is (last I looked) the least efficient large economy in terms of pollution per GDP. The USA is toward the middle of the pack.

According to some reports the number of near Earth objects is now of the order of 2000 per year and several of those have been undetected until only a few days prior to nearest approach. I'd factor in this eventual inevitability as well.

Facebook deserves credit for iterating on solid foundations.

If they make VR useful outside of games and porn, then they will deserve credit for meaningful innovation.

To clarify why FB cannot be satisfied with the games and porn market is that theres a big gender imbalance in those markets, and it runs against the demographics of Facebooks other apps, which have equal or even female-majority user-bases.

Given its PR and branding issues, Facebook does not want to be a games and porn company (techbro) company.

> Email is widely used

Setting up your own email server is notoriously difficult, and requires coordination with major brands. Importantly, people who use brands like GMail can't choose to whitelist you. There's no setting in GMail saying, "I trust everything coming from Bob's domain, don't bounce them." Emails get rejected on the protocol level.

Effectively, if your friend is using Gmail, then they're using a brand, and you won't be able to talk to them unless you also use a brand that Google respects.

> HTTPS is widely used

The DNS system is probably one of the things I'm least worried about online, but it doesn't make sense to describe it as anything except as a brand. Domains aren't permanent -- you have to continue leasing them. That makes sense for a brand because you don't want companies to take over an entire space, but it makes no sense for an identity, because you should be able to permanently own an identity. Additionally, DNS is optimized for brand recognition, not for identity verification. It makes a ton of security compromises (think ally vs a11y) that make identity verification harder, but brand recognition easier.

I would also disagree that phone numbers are good identity systems. Most people keep their phone number permanently, and it's trivial to tie a number to a real world identity. I would hesitate to call it pseudonymous. There's a real conflict between phone numbers being treated like a permanently owned identity and phone numbers being a thing you need to maintain and carry with you. In general, I try very, very hard not to allow any business to tie my identity to a number, because I think it's blatantly insecure.

I do think the first point you're getting at is correct, in a sense:

> I'd say the reality is that it's easy to join the Internet land-owning class (buy a domain; get a cert; run services), yet most people prefer to rent because they are not so inclined.

I agree. However, it's not that identity management online is good. What you're describing is that it's relatively easy to build a brand. It's relatively easy for me to set up a domain, grab my username on new services as they come up, and make sure that when someone searches me on Google I show up near the top. That's not identity, that's brand management.

The reality is that the current Internet is adapted to brands, but because it's not a massive problem for technical people to invest into making their own brand, we just kind of tolerate it. And non-technical people prefer to rent space on other people's brands instead of building their own. But in both cases, we haven't really built personal identities that are disassociated from advertising or word-of-mouth.

People who clamor for "tools" and "accountability" on social media to combat "fake news" and "misinformation" are people who do not belong on the internet. They want to be coddled and protected, when they should be researching on their own or having an independent thought.

And the response clearly stated that letting your dislike of X outweigh the clear and evidence-supported benefits of vaccines is an emotional response that increases the risks of bad outcomes for children and not something that others need to be sympathetic to. It certainly wasn't showing you respect but it wasn't toxic, and your response is simply a refusal to engage with someone who says you are wrong disguised as a complaint about not wanting to argue, and a nice ironic little endnote implying that feeling emotions is bad and should not be allowed to interrupt the nice conversations here.

You don't have to engage, and in fact I can't imagine any rational way for you to do so. But you can simply not respond rather than turn the conversation into an attack on the other person.
No, if the US wanted to shake things up. Just look at what they're doing to Iranian entities and to European companies which are supposedly protected and encouraged by their governments to engage with Iran. And with Facebook and similar companies having lots of infrastracture and personnel in the US, the government wouldn't have to go nearly that far.

However - let's remember the US is actually extremely lax with large corporations, in Tech, finance, pharma etc., and lets them get away with murder, basically. I wouldn't trust Warren all that much in this respect considering her reliance on large donors and her defense of the democratic party establishment and the Clinton campaign.
yeah, it kinda makes this even more pessimistic. I recently spoke to someone about the quality his education at the TU Dresden back in the GDR. He wasn't very critical and said he enjoyed a good mechanical engineering education there. This means that even during communism and towards the collapse the good engineering culture persisted. A whole nation and their entire economic system could collapse and the good engineering tradition continues. If we assume that a bad tradition is equally persistent, then we have a problem in souther italy that even the collapse of the economic system and whole state would not necessarily change.
> instead if getting beaten up

To be fair, the comment you’re responding to is implying worse outcome than getting beaten up, claiming that the kid & his weapon posed lethal danger to an officer who was defenseless on the ground at the moment.

I do agree with the sentiment though
Any broadening of rights after the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration is suspect. These are ploys to alienate the Hong Kong people from China (離間計). They are what we call 陽謀, ploys we will nevertheless fall for even though we know they're ploys.

Know your history. How had the British treated the Hong Kong people throughout its history as a colony? How has China treated the Hong Kong people? Honestly?

You can’t upset the voters or they won’t vote into office people who have strong climate agendas.

For example, banning plastic straws does basically nothing environmentally but upsets people who will then think twice about voting for someone who supports straw bans and actual useful policies.

Climate change activists need to be more pragmatic in order to actually affect change. They need to pick their battles better

At the time Amazon was building out their merchant portal as a white-label-ish service for other large retailers to sell products online. The 'customers' in the memo would be other merchants, and the early AWS offering (e.g. SQS) reflect this. "Elastic" clouds weren't really on the menu yet but obviously part of the point is that you can offer it to customers regardless of where the architectural fad goes.

I envision a future (not too far away) where we can literally turn anything into anything else reasonably efficiently.

In Switzerland, people can not actually buy those guns, I don't think. They are issued by the military to pretty much everybody, that's true -- but they are kept on base these days, not at home.

One of the big differences between US gun culture and Swiss gun culture is that in the US we believe in a certain right "to enjoy arms", to keep and bear them in an undisciplined and disorganised way.

Hi,

I'm unpersuaded by Warren's arguments for breaking up big tech. If her strongest concerns are that the big tech companies are anti-competitive and loose wrt privacy I think Tyler Cowen makes some strong counter arguments.

1. The big tech companies are not true monopolies. They simply offer a better service than current competitors. It's hardly set in stone that Facebook, for instance, will continue to hold it's majority in social networking.

2. I'd trust a large company like Google who has stronger data protection policies in place than the smaller alternative also in the same space.

3. Breaking up or regulating more strongly distracts some of the most productive and innovative companies.
Damn. I was going to do this soon. Guess I'll just have to do it even harder...

Most of my relationships that were worth anything have largely moved to platforms that involve actual conversation rather than the posting format of Facebook. This is stuff like WhatsApp and Discord and Slack mostly. Most of the life update stuff that doesn't merit conversation is on Instagram at this point.

I think the key is really just using the services in ways where they can't dark pattern you into engaging with them. So notifications get shut off and anything you can do to turn off "endless scroll" mode is worth doing.

Facebook was originally designed as a sort of directory or phone book type page for people and that's still what it's best at. Instead of using the regular page, which just tries to dark pattern you into engaging with it, I've bookmarked mbasic.facebook.com which lets you see only the top 5 to 10 posts on your feed at a time and then I shut off all notifications that weren't sent to me directly.

Once I got rid of the "one more post" effect of wanting to keep reading, I found myself spending a lot more time going through my RSS feed, which is nice as that's content I find much more edifying.

I think it's a mammalian thing, not just a human thing. It's right in the word: mammal, "of the breast." Animals which suckle their young. Some level of empathy for things other than oneself is required, and this spills over to other individuals and species. And for social animals, having a broader net of empathy that encompasses non-directly-related individuals, empathy also enhances survival. And I think you could make the case that animals sometimes help each other out when facing a common threat, i.e. warning of predators, etc. As humans, we can perhaps see the importance of spreading the net of empathy ever-wider.
My girlfriend is Hungarian and gets very annoyed when I try to come up with "close enough" versions of things like "gy" or "ny", etc.

Me: Oh, so it's like a cross between the end of "fridge" and the beginning of the French "dieu"?

Her: No! You're making this too complicated...it's just "gy". It's a Hungarian sound. You guys don't have it.

Me: /shrug

Also take into account even if the military supported this theoretical dictator, many brothers in arms would NOT attack their fellow citizenry mindlessly. Sure there are those who will follow an order no matter what, but many folks would easily defect and help their fellow citizenry.
