Enzyme (YC S17) | Senior Full Stack | Remote, San Francisco | Full-time

Enzyme is looking for a full-stack expert with lots of experience in Rails and at least one modern SPA javascript framework.

We're building a software platform to handle the compliance aspects of running a drug or medical device company. Compliance is an ongoing activity for companies in this space, and annual costs per company range anywhere from $100K to $100M. Being deemed not compliant can be devastating, preventing a company from selling any new product for months and sometimes years.

By using our software platform, customers will cut their annual regulatory costs by 50% (on average) and reduce the risk that their products will not get approved for sale.

We are a remote-first company, with an office in San Francisco. Half of our team are remote. We meet up for offsite retreats bi-annually, previously we have skied near Tahoe and tasted wine in Sonoma. Our Employee Handbook is published here: https://github.com/EnzymeCorp/handbook

Enzyme is a Y Combinator company (YC S17), have 30+ paying customers, and are growing our team to keep up with demand. This is an opportunity to be an early engineer at a startup that has found its feet and shape the engineering culture, and you should have opinions on how to do that.

If you enjoy working with smart and kind people, want to work for a company with a goal to improve peoples' lives and want an opportunity to both grow with a company and shape that company's growth, we want to hear from you.

Full details and application: https://angel.co/company/enzymecorp/jobs/603758-senior-full-...
Location: Seattle.
Remote: Yes.

Yes, he does terribly when he doesn't get to define his own job responsibilities. At those, he frequently needed to fall back on his blueblood heritage.

Where he is now, his job (as he or his backers define it) appears to be to distract the voting public from unpleasant facts. He has proven very, very good at changing the public subject.

He has the complicity of the UK news media, much as W had in the US. The long-term takeover of the media by a tiny handful of right-wing extremists is proceeding smoothly worldwide, with concomittent benefits for their chosen spokesmouths.
Thank you for posting this. I didn't know about it, and this post made my day. Gonna get this setup for my older Sonos speakers this evening.
the game-theoretic aspect is certainly interesting. A more formal study would certainly be worth reading.

- I recently designed and released a Figma plugin written in React, with BE (express) to support it and with shared typings. Loved it!

- Though my potential employer would benefit the most from me doing product design primarily.

- I'm mainly interested in smaller teams working on process enhancing tools, who are in dire need of some design help.
HTTPS does require you to use a gatekeeper brand; even going through Let's Encrypt (which is a brand, per article's use of the term) means you're now involving an extra bunch of intermediary brands. After all, the whole point is to have someone else to vouch that you are who you say you are.
I had not heard that Jobs played any important role in the choice to use Objective-C. Looking around now, I can't find corraboration of that.

For example, https://www.quora.com/How-did-Steve-Jobs-invent-Objective-C has one person commenting "I’m not even sure if it was Jobs’s decision to include Objective C with NeXTStep, though he might have had a role in it." This is based on Jobs' seemingly lack of understanding or experience with OO programming.

(Other links also offer no pointers about Jobs' involvement.)

Now, to be certain, Jobs knew about the decision. He negotiated with Stallman about the licensing for the Objective-C front-end. But that's different than making the decision.

Once the decision was made, I could see why he might argue that it's fine. We see, for example, companies which make a decision to only use one or a small handful of languages. He could be using his reality distortion field to keep that decision in place, rather than allowing a large diversity of languages in-house.
If you go outside, you might get struck by a car. Why take the chance?

Awareness of a risk isn't very helpful if it doesn't come with an understanding of the odds and the costs and benefits involved.
Nanking was ethical because Manzanar.

Unit 731 was ethical because Tuskegee.

The Opium Wars were ethical because the CCP does nothing to stop the flow of fentanyl overseas.

All of these are as ridiculous as what your comment implies, they're also equally relevant.

This kind of hyper-local history is the kind of thing I miss most about living in a city like New York. Here's a similar resource to OP with block by block, building by building history in Manhattan http://www.nysonglines.com/
I agree. Similarly, most people who live in rural areas also have a need for guns to protect themselves adequately - from animals as well as malicious people - as police and other state protection can be an hour or more away when they try to respond rapidly.

I prefer to focus on the Black Panthers use case because there is an interesting cognitive dissonance in the modern left in that anti-racism and gun control are both promoted by the same ideological groups. Tends to be more persuasive in my liberal social bubble as I see a growing lack of empathy for rural Americans.

My personal litmus test for gun control legislation is: "Would this law meaningfully decrease access for a black single mother who is a victim of domestic violence and does not have confidence in a timely police response?"
Random stranger may be a label but it’s also an accurate description.

I guess to me, it seems strange for someone, especially in tech in the Bay Area, to want to be a founder but have nobody in their personal network that they would like to work with also interested in being a founder who reciprocated that feeling. That is wildly different from what my social circle looks like, and I didn’t go to Stanford. In fact it’s so different that I would characterize it as somewhat of a red flag (very weak personal network? hard to work with, not likable? lazy? little tech exp?); of course, two people in similar situations probably wouldn’t see it that way and that’s fine, I’m just sharing my perspective.

I don’t see why starting a solo business is unrealistic unless you lack some core competency in the business you are trying to start. In that case, yes you would need to start a different business. If you have a poor network, have a hard time finding a cofounder, and also have a hard time finding something within your core competency then you should probably be re-evaluating why you’re starting a business at all
Note that this economic strategy is already in place in other industries where electricity price is a large component of the final cost of goods sold. Aluminum smelting is a huge example of this.
Can you please elaborate on the skills needed to be in the top 10 percent in this field? Thanks
> Apparently the modern elites, and the 10%-20% richer substrates at the population are allergic to democracy and those "deplorable" 80% of their fellow citizens, and don't want anything to disrupt business as usual. And if things go well for the 10%-20%, obviously the rest have absolutely no basis to complain, they are just ignorant/vote against their interests (because the 10-20% know better than them)/etc..

Only 10-20% of voters wanted to Remain? A direct vote on a complicated open-ended question is a horrible way to sample the intentions of the populace.

No one makes decisions like this in their personal life. No one decides that they want to buy a car and then finding out that the only cars available are a millions of dollars decides that they have to pay that price. We make decisions that are bound by a bunch of implicit constraints and tradeoffs.

It would have been much better to vote to have a study for how to exit. And then a follow-up vote on which OPTION to take for an exit.

I'm sure the vote would have been different if it was for "Hard exit even if it means the break up of the UK" instead of a negotiated exit to protect our sovereignty. There are implications in the question.

Depends on what kind of drone. Flying a FPV / racing drone requires some skill (but not much if you've played games). Flying acrobatic drones in third person (eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duHCDwH9G2M) requires a lot of skill.

Compared to those, flying drones like those from DJI require almost no skill. These drones do some form of obstacle avoidance on their own. You basically have to tell them where to fly and they will go there. Some are smarter than others in how they execute the manoeuvres, but some common sense will get you a long way with those.

German here, almost all power lines are underground. Except the super high voltage ones :)
Empress trees capture roughly 100 tons of carbon per acre per year. But wood's energy density is roughly half that of oil (oil and coal are decomposed algae and wood respectively) so it's effectively 50 tons of potential jet fuel per acre of forest per year. A 10 hours 747 flight apparently burns about 250,000 pounds of fuel - roughly 125 tons. So we'd need about two and a half acres of forest for a ten hour 747 flight.

There has been some speculation that people could cultivate vats of algae illuminated by blue LEDs emitting light in the optimal photosynthesis spectrum. But this is probably only feasible with effectively limitless supplies of electricity.
What are you missing? Windows Console has undergone a complete overhaul in the last few years. With QuickEdit, copy and paste via keyboard, and reflow during window resizing, the Windows Console is pretty nice.

VS Code has just come out with a Microsoft team SFTP plugin. It's pretty good, search even works. Seems to fix almost all the issues I tended to get using sshfs. Recommend giving it a shot.

Side note in 2012 my boss forced me to use Dreamweaver and took a lot of persuading to let us use the new (at the time) Sublime text. Good times.

Massive pools of data, especially about people, being all of 1) hugely valuable to AI, 2) very, very hard to bootstrap without massive amounts of money (so, a strong moat to competition), and 3) basically the Stasi on steroids but oh don't worry it's fine because it's for profit this time, is the main reason I'd like to see at least Facebook and Google take a huge hit. As in I'd like that part of their value to be regulated out of existence entirely, because I think it's awful at best and incredibly dangerous at worst.
> Any discussion of gun control in America must account for the self-defense rights of Americans who do not have adequate protection from the police.

Interestingly, that would be most of them, with the supreme court ruling that the police does not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm.

Timezone: UTC -6

I have 6 years of experience developing high-traffic, full-stack web applications. I've built everything from social media app backends to very complex dashboards to mobile-first Progressive Web Apps to web-based, event-driven games. I've also designed and deployed large, distributed, and scalable cloud infrastructures. I've often had full ownership of these projects, with junior developers underwing. I've planned milestones, set and met deadlines, and empowered my colleagues to deliver their best. I strongly enjoy teaching others and helping my teams work together to meet ambitious goals.

I have a solid grasp of software engineering fundamentals and system design. I believe in clean and simple code designs modeled around data. I prefer readable and testable solutions to clever ones. I'm motivated to exceed requirements and have an end result that is both performant and provides a superior user experience.

> Except the US military doesn't just have superior weaponry. It also has superior training, superior discipline, superior logistics, superior intelligence, superior force projection capability, superior everything.

You assume that all members of the US military would fight on behalf of the government. All members of the armed forces swear an oath to the US Constitution, not the federal government, so it's pretty much certain that a non-trivial proportion would defect from the will of the government if the orders were contrary to the oath sworn to the US Constitution. At that point, that superior training, discipline, logistics, intelligence, force projection, everything is also in the hands of the insurgency against unconstitutional orders.
Ah. It looks like you have to rely on gpg-agent; gpg-agent understands cards (and PIN-entry). PuTTY knows how to talk to gpg-agent (which simply replaces Pageant).

Except I remember ending up with multiple copies of gpg-agent running, for no obvious reason (which had to be killed before I could start a session - hmm. Maybe I remember finding this solution annoying). I think support for PIN-entry had its own annoyances.

The NRA actually helped Robert F. Williams, from my parent comment, establish a gun club and donated rifles and ammunition. So while they helped with establishing the Mulford Act, they also supported the early civil rights movement. Not to defend them, but organizations aren't necessarily single minded in their actions.
That happened to be the same experience I had with "my" "moderator".

Behavior like this should not be carpeted over with PR "here's how we're going to fix things" announcements, like the one they advertised today and/or yesterday. At the very least, Reddit moderators need some extent to the control they have and repercussions for crossing lines when done so. It's really too bad, because the platform could be so much more. Instead, it's either cute animal photos or some of the worst toxicity you can find online.
If you're interested there are articles about people who tried themselves or with the help of friends at home, in the 70's or so. I read about it a while ago, but although it's an interesting read there's no clear answer (people were already into it enough to perforate their own skulls, so their account isnt very subjective, and they were usually into the paranormal, "energies" and similar pseudoscientific ideas).

I know a lot of valuable people who believe a lot of weird and wacky things, including disturbing things. It's a waste to dispose of those people and perspectives as lightly as has become the fashion. They tend to be worth multiples of normal people when it comes to learning about the world.

Worse than someone who thinks independently but to a tragic conclusion is someone who thinks in lock step with their aspirational social group and works to exclude people who don't. But let's not cancel them either.

Interestingly, it sounds like most predictions for solar cycle 25 [1] are that it will likely be milder than average, like #24 is/was. Anyone who knows more about this sort of thing care to comment?

It kind of sounds like this article is just saying that a big storm could be harmful if it happens, but the headline seems to imply that a big storm is more likely in the near future.

I do wonder if modern electronics are more prone to failure from this sort of thing, though; the transistors keep getting smaller and more power-efficient, which seems like it would also mean that they require less energy to switch.

I think that people who invent and promulgate exceptions to freedom of speech are contributing to a very dangerous problem and should be forcefully stopped by the police. I've tried arguing, but they remain unconvinced - leaving force as the only option.
This is why we have checks and balances, a strong constitution, strong interest in rule of law, and an effort to have fair elections.

The second amendment hardly helps that much, as if shooting those we think are wrong* is going to do anything good (or trying to go after the military, who is much better trained and armed than we are).

* e.g. would Trump supporters be justified in going after progressives with their guns if they thought they were harming the country? Or vice versa?
