Me too! I'm looking for a Rails developer, for a different team. This role is focused on our product licensing. All the great things Kellen mentioned about the company. Fully distributed. Slight preference for EU, but not required.

I'm the team lead and direct hiring manager, especially wanting to talk to women, POC, or any other underrepresented folks. You don't need to be an expert or have lots of years of experience. If you have enough web development background that you feel like in a safe environment with supportive coaching you could really excel, this could be a great opportunity. Let's talk!

It depends on the country.

In France yes. We are still very much into Ivy League (Grandes Écoles) schools, they really look good on a CV in a large company.

Sure, some startup may not care but it depends where you want to work. Look at the CVs of large French companies boards and you will see a lot of the same schools.

In Germany having a higher education title is great or important. Your PhD counts.
We have a different problem in my country of residence in that policing is a federal/national function. There are two arms of police, crime is handled by national police and enforcing of city by laws is done by the city/metro police. It just feels like police don't have enough local leadership. I always thought the US system where the police report to the mayor enables the mayor (read local person) to have a fair say in how things are run. I guess mayors have enough on their plates and it must be hard to change a large body as big as the police. I am extrapolating my experiences moving large organisations to new IT systems which is often easier said than done.

poetry and pipenv are really just layers of abstraction of what is part of the Python core (pip, pypi, venv, wheels).

I don't even see what problems they solve, it seems like you end up with more problems using them.
I think you're providing a great perspective into the complexity of the problem. If it was easy and straight forward, I presume it would have been solved a long ago. Penalty is tricky because the analysis of the problem has gray areas and its not strictly black or white. We need an umpire that can enforce and have oversight.

I've been pretty happy that pretty much everyone (left, right, white, black, etc) agrees that the rioting and looting are just opportunistic violence and not actually part of the protest or "sending a message to people with power". Defending or promoting violence of any kind is repugnant, doubly so when it's directed toward impoverished communities.
$4000/mo for a 1-bed in Cambridge seems high to me, but I guess I am not surprised. Kendall is mostly new developments that I would describe as "premium mediocre"; nice, but not nearly as nice as you would expect for the money. It's also very close to a lot of offices so rich workers pay a hefty premium for that convenience.

I'm paying $3200/mo for a 2-bed in Central Square (1 subway stop away, still in Cambridge) in a much older building. Moving here from the Bay Area in 2018 made that feel like a good deal, but even I'm looking for a bigger place further out right now.

You can't say that and use the quote in the original comment. The quote references a right, which comes from laws and the Constitution, yet you mention a cultural value instead. Which are you talking about here, the right of free speech, or the cultural value of free speech?
I tend to think people's attitudes come from too much diversity rather than too little.

The most diverse places I've ever been are also the most visibly segregated and racially aware (but not in a good way). Meanwhile, I see the most tolerance for others in homogeneous places.

I wonder if this is borne out in any studies.

I was with you until the last paragraph. I don't think police violence exists because of the drug war; a large percentage of people who become police, and an even larger portion of people who remain police are those who enjoy wielding power over others.

The only way to restrain the power-hungry is to be vigilant and use discipline; police unions and culture have proven very skilled in removing effective oversight. Given the situation, qualified immunity removes the only real restraint on police.

note: I am personally in favor of legalizing all drugs, recreational and medical. That said, I'm not really sure what you mean by 'auto-immune drug war', as the 'war on drugs' doesn't specifically target immuno-suppressants.
You are conflating "The First Amendment" with "freedom of speech".

"The First Amendment" is the law that protects us from the government stopping free speech.

"Freedom of speech" is a principle that civilized cultures adopt so that people who disagree aren't shut out of the conversation.

These people, groups, organizations are not having their ability to speak stifled. They're having their choice of location stifled. There are plenty of people willing to host views that others might find unpleasant. From Gab, to Voat, to nearlyfreespeech.net, self-hosting and the like.

Now if your argument is (as often, theirs is) that those platforms are fringe, not nearly-as-popular, I would theorize that that is because a larger majority of people have heard some of these things and have zero interest in hearing more.

But they can still say it.

And at that point, I ask, what is the cultural value of requiring people to hear things they've decided they do not wish to?
The reason you don't understand how we raised so much money is because you don't understand how the business works apparently.

Unless you're saying all credit card companies are the same as predatory payday loans or subprime loans, Brex is no different.

Brex is required to do underwriting to determine the amount of credit that can be provided to a company. Underwriting has legal thresholds that must be met. Brex is required to have AML processes in place.

And unlike most corporate cards, there is no personal guarantee owned by the founders. And since we have a fairly high threshold to qualify, it hedges risks for both parties. It's not like Brex is handing out 50k in credit to a 10 person startup with no VC.

payday loans and subprime debt targets people that cannot afford to pay what they take out. I am not sure how you think that is even remotely close to what Brex, Amex, SVB, or anyone in the space is doing. Brex isn't entirely unique, but it's also not predatory.

And, if you take some time to learn the industry, you can see that there are plenty of areas that are legacy that are due to be rebuilt and re-examined. Whether we at Brex will be the ones to properly innovate in that area remains to be seen, but I am pretty confident we are at least moving in the right direction.

Disclaimer, I work at Brex.
> The desires of the owners should be indirect. I wish they were.

Right. I was stating what should be, and what was originally intended. The clause in the US constitution authorizing copyrights and patents reads "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries". Any such exclusive right is granted (not inherent) and should only be provided insofar as doing so will "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts".

> re: The "what we should be asking" - I don't think we can conceive of the possible business models that could spring up if changes were made to copyright law. Sure-- some business models might become untenable-- but I don't think entire classes of works would just disappear. I'd rather ask "What new business models or classes of works would be permitted if this particular exclusive privilege were relaxed?"

Agreed completely. Another reason why it's a careful tradeoff for the public to make.
Unless opposition groups start fighting back with similar tactics, then it's civil war.
in a lot of cases, the people in charge of those loans are self-dealing and don't give a shit if the company they work for loses money on it.

That's what the savings and loan crises was about.

Hi! Most of my professional experiences are with startups in different industries, except for my first job as an information security engineer at a big security tech firm. My startup experience revolved around touching many different aspects of software development and engineering as early as my first year as a professional.

I've worked in clothing merch manufacturing (like Amazon Merch) as an engineer for both internal and customer-facing systems, dealing with microservices, and code abstraction, migration and refactoring (as far as Scala 2.6 to 2.12). I've also worked on desktop development, specifically for Mac via Python + pyobjc + py2exe, solving persistent regression bugs and breaking changes that Apple OS updates are notorious for. Lastly, I've worked as a DevOps engineer (contractor) for one of the current tech giants, maintaining infrastructure and building pipelines for different in-house teams.

Overall, I specialize in backend engineering, with a systems approach to software engineering through the breadth of my professional experiences.

Please do reach me via linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennharveyliwanag/) if protonmail is not playing well with your email security configuration.
Taboo is the exact right word for that.

In particular, the Gracchi violated an unspoken and unwritten compact that governed the behavior of the Roman aristocracy. In particular, they attempted to secure power for themselves using avenues not considered "in bounds". There was no institutional mechanism in place to process violations of that unwritten compact (social opprobrium had worked for hundreds of years), so the senators (Scipio Nasica in particular) immediately transitioned to personal violence.

Once the taboo against aristocrat-on-aristocrat violence vanished, Rome descended into waves of high aristocrats raising private armies to secure their personal power. It was, more or less, a game of last man standing that Augustus "won".
I didn't believe the comment about doxing the daughter of the mayor of NYC, but here it is:

"The SBA [Sergeant's Benevolent Association], run by union boss Ed Mullins, the mayor’s fiercest critic, included a photo of a computer screen which appeared to be his 25-year-old daughter’s arrest report. The report included her date of birth, New York state ID number, and various biographical details, such as height, weight, and citizenship status. It also included an apartment number and home address, which appeared to be Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s residence (though the zip code did not match.)

"Twitter’s policies expressly forbid users from posting personal information, including identity documents, including government-issued IDs. Posting home addresses “or other identifying information related to locations that are considered private” is also forbidden.

"The SBA’s tweet remained up for more than an hour before eventually being taken down after a several users (including this reporter) flagged the tweet for abuse. The account was temporarily locked until the tweet was voluntarily deleted."

Please keep in mind that games without gameplay-enhancing in app purchases want you addicted as much as possible.

The reason is that they profit with the ones that pay a lot, and those players only stay if there are many others that play too.

Then there are the ones that put advertising inside the games as an alternative way of making money. Same thing...

Games that have no in app purchases of any kind and no DLCs either are the best, because they have designed the game without profit being a factor in gameplay.

> A program is a shared mental construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who work on it.

Absolutely. The plain English definition for the word "program" that Google shows is (noun) "a set of related measures or activities with a particular long-term aim", (verb) "arrange according to a plan or schedule".

A software program fulfills a certain set of behaviors, serves a certain purpose, is a materialization of an idea, or otherwise is a transcription of something from a certain domain into the domain of software. The "source of truth" of what that something is is external from the program.

The knowledge domain of a programmer is therefore not only both their code and the idea it represents but the mapping in between. Both ends are easily documentable (in the narrow context of their specific domains), and it feels like this could have led to a possible convolution of what it takes to be a good programmer.

We have endless measures, philosophies, and codifications for what makes for good form when drawing back the bowstring, what release techniques make for the least disturbance to the arrow's path, what arrow shape makes for the most optimal flight, etc, but less for an archer's aiming technique. All we can do is just look to see if the target's been hit or not.

How an org "aims" the "arrow" of code towards the business target is a higher level concern than how awesome the arrow shot is or how straight it flies. If you're not controlling how you aim you lack the context to fully qualify your assessment of how arrow choice, pull/release form, or even flight path affected your result.

Codifying not only how your org builds product ideas and how it implements software, but how your org maps from one domain to the other helps mitigate knowledge siloing.
