Hello all.. I am a jack-of-all-trades / IT generalist who would like to transition into an entry / mid-level Java or Kotlin development position. I don't need a ton of pay for the SF area, you could probably hire me for half what most developers here would want. In return, I'd ask for some patience and mentorship for a few months while I learn more best practices and your companies way of doing things. Looking to primarily deepen my Java / Kotlin skills in the next year or two, which are fairly rudimentary right now. Most of my experience thus far has been for very small shops where I had to wear a lot of hats and didn't primarily focus on software dev, but did more project management, implementation, and web development. Rather than continue as a generalist, I want to transition to being a full-time developer.

Location: SF Bay Area
Remote: sure
Willing to relocate: no
Technologies: Java, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Linux Server Admin, Xen Virtualization,
IT Project Management, Bash, Vim, Javascript, Software implementation, Technical writing.

Screenplay | Software Engineers | ONSITE (NYC) | Full-time

Screenplay builds the easiest way to capture and share bug reports with your team. We’re a seed stage early-stage team from Facebook / Airbnb / YC (there are only 3 of us!) building tools to improve software quality.

We rally around the belief that software quality is both increasingly important and falling to the wayside. We see companies choosing to downpri Quality in-favor of testing on users in production because they lack the appropriate tooling. We’re addressing this through automated systems, programmatic analysis, and workflow automation that systematically improves software.

Our site is run on a Django backend powering a Typescript React front-end, with subsystems (written in everything from C to Node) handling real-time video transcoding, developer event parsing, and hacking platform APIs to extract as much debugging data as possible.

We're looking for people who want a seat at the table in defining what modern software quality looks like and who are excited by the adventure of an early-stage, New York-based, dev tool company.

6 weeks free rent is a 10% drop in rent for that year though, which is in line with what the article says.

Obviously landlords are hoping that it's a temporary measure, but who knows what next year will bring.

Netflix is an interesting example. Every time they've approached profitability the market shifted and most of their investment was for naught. Now they look profitable because they can play with depreciation to book a profit. Cash flow is still negative and it remains to be seen if it every becomes positive.

In their 20 years they've managed to burn 10s of billions of dollars and they're still burning cash. Best case scenario they are still a decade away from generating more cash than they've consumed.
Still wrong. They aren’t the one who is entitled to an audience. I’m the one who’s entitled to be able to hear them and make my own decisions. Censorship systems make my decision for my by preventing “offensive” speech from even being seen and considered.

William Hill US | Functional Programmer (Scala) | Jersey City, NJ, USA | ONSITE | Full Time

The thing that distinguishes our team (and the reason I chose to work here) is that our CIO is a functional programming evangelist who understands that you can't just hire a team of FP enthusiasts - rather, you hire great engineers interested in being challenged and train them to become FP enthusiasts. We have a formal training program ("Scala U") that will show you basic scala syntax but its real purpose is to train people in how to become functional programmers with a combination of mentorship, pairing, classroom, exercises, and books. He's easy to talk to and super-enthusiastic, and I personally have learned a lot from him.

Here is the job description: https://www.williamhill.com/us/careers/?gh_jid=4465782002

We also have openings in devops, front end, and iOS, and other technical and non-technical roles.

A couple of thoughts:

Racism is an issue, but I wonder in the case of police the abuse the issue could be more generally described as one of class?

There was an incident a few years ago in my state were police picked a white guy up who had been convicted of methamphetamine possession a few times. I'll describe the guy as a "scraggly white guy". He was dirty, unkempt, skinny, poor spoken in an old vehicle. The cops I believe were Hispanic. So the decide he is hiding meth on him, search him, push him around a little. Then they drive him to the hospital and force several enemas on him. Which turn up nothing. Then the hospital sends him a bill for the "service". It's egregious and he is rightfully suing. Is this a race issue?

If George Floyd had looked like Obama or OJ Simpson, had been driving a nice car in nice clothes and was well spoken and had no priors would he have been treated the same? I don't think so, particularly if it appeared he had means to get a good lawyer.

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying racism isn't an issue. It is and it exists. But the problems with police brutality seem almost as much a class issue. In fact you can see no shortage of black cops. But the problems still keep happening. Addressing this is long overdue but perhaps the lens should be expanded?

Thought #2:

People believe and are suggesting to make their voices really heard engaging in violence and unrelated property destruction is appropriate. I guess the thinking goes this will force systemic change.

Here's the systemic change I see coming from that. Increased support for surveillance. Scaring the average joe middle class person into voting for law and order candidates. A few hundred people rioting aren't going to overturn capitalism. Capitalism is well embedded and a little scratch isn't going to harm it, nor is this kind of behavior likely to change public sentiment. However it does make it easier to lump everyone (rightfully) upset with police brutality into the camp of crazy destructive anarchists. So I think it's going to turn out to be a counterproductive move. The massive peaceful marches were much wiser and also get effects believe it or not. When elected politicians see that many folks that energized they ignore at their own peril.

The key difference is the copying, the vary thing that copyright is meant to regular. A library doesn't turn one book into many. A digital archive does. That's the difference that draws in the legal system. Some libraries have developed schemes for this (one digital copy available for one person at a time) but this doesn't get around the fact that any digital copy can be copied or translated into different formats.
You are probably being facetious about this facetious short-form for the Redmond product.
I discovered his idea in the blockchain world and find the concept quite interesting. Essentially you can allocate your vote on different topics to different representatives or vote directly if you wish. It's highly competitive and fluid in terms of representative accuracy to the constitutes opinions, as you can change representatives at will (depending on how you set it up).

I wonder how we could test it out for elections? It likely needs to start small or in the private sector, or post-revolution would give opportunity to rewrite laws in a major way
It slows down metabolism, so it would make sense for it to slow down aging, and thus extend lifespan, as well.
> If those taboos are broken, even for a good cause, you set a precedence that violence works.

Violence like that does not work by itself. It only works if you have "legitimate" institutions that are willing to excuse or downplay the violence that occurs.

why is Carl Icahn, always involved in dirty takeovers n putting the wrong managers.
>Another reason is US voters. We vote "hard on crime" people into office and then are surprised when they give Police complete immunity. If we want justice, we've elected the wrong people to give it to us.

>It's also not clear if any of this is politically viable. The US is politically farther right compared to Europe and some other countries. Is a more liberal "European style" justice system palatable to US voters?

Are we living in the same country? What's "politically viable" varies massively from place to place.

While there are definitely "tough on crime" districts many major cities elect DAs and elect/appoint judges specifically because they make campaign promises to not be tough on certain classes of crime, recommend community service and treatment instead of jail, etc, etc. These are generally not the cities who's cops you see embroiled in excessive force controversies but they are by no means free of problems with their police forces use of violence.
Coming from a complete position of ignorance on how public companies work: I wonder if there could be a legal framework added to allow public companies to create a blocklist for large investors that are considered to be damaging or abusive.

Anecdotal, but it seems like every company that has ever received the anti-Midas Touch of Carl Icahn has had some kind of negative consequence.
I just use Pyenv and pip-tools. Create a requirements.in and Makefile targets to build the requirements.txt based on it. So far I haven't find an sceneario where that combination is detrimental.

The US (and/or China, Russia, and Canada) are bad examples, because most countries are not nearly as large, and most countries want some measure of "ensured by our own hand" electrical-grid independence/fault-tolerance (even though they share a power-grid with their neighbours), just like most countries want a standing border-defence force (even if they participate in a defence alliance.)

So what you'd get in practice, in a nuclear-first world, is O(K log N) power plants: i.e., log(N) plants per country, for each of K≥195 countries.

"Let me help an individual investor grow their portfolio" - said no investment banker ever. Most leveraged ETF (ETN) are designed by investment banks, this one was designed by UBS. They are designed for the benefit of one party - the designer of the ETF - the investment bank. The design has one goal - to transfer your investment to them, slowly over time.

A vanilla bond or stock ETF is an extremely useful (and beautiful) financial instrument that has democratized investing similar to its older cousin the mutual fund. Almost every ETF other than a vanilla bond/stock ETF is unadulterated toxic waste that has oozed out from the sewers of finance and will wipe out your capital.

A simple yardstick to demarcate toxic waste for the good ole fashioned bond/stock ETFs - if you cannot redeem/create it then don't touch it. Leveraged ETFs (and commodity ETFs) cannot be redeemed/created.

I came to the comments to say exactly this.

There's a decent summary of why someone might still prefer pip-tools even in a world where pipenv and poetry exist here: https://hynek.me/articles/python-app-deps-2018/

For my purposes, the primary downside of this approach is that adding dependencies takes slightly more effort, because you have to edit a file and then execute a shell command, rather than just executing a shell command. But managing dependencies takes up about 0.001% of my time, so this is not an area where I have much to gain by micro-optimizing my workflow.

I do, on the other hand, have a lot to lose by switching to something that's newer and shinier and less stable.

Covariant (https://covariant.ai/) | Berkeley, CA (San Francisco Bay Area) | full-time | onsite

Since the first industrial robots were introduced in the 1960s, robots have automated countless dangerous, repetitive tasks, but they've only reached a fraction of their potential. Incapable of thinking on their own, they can only do pre-programmed tasks in tightly-controlled environments -- they can't understand, learn, or adapt. Covariant was founded in 2017 to change this.

Our vision is the Covariant Brain: universal AI that allows robots to see, reason, and act on the world around them. We’re bringing the Covariant Brain to commercial viability, starting with the industries that make, move, and store things in the physical world.

Our work was recently featured in publications from the New York Times (https://nyti.ms/2SkFoUe) and the Wall Street Journal (https://on.wsj.com/2OpujAe), to IEEE Spectrum (http://bit.ly/2Opw3cy)!

We’re always hiring for a variety of roles, but our current priorities are:

- Site Reliability Engineer: http://bit.ly/2OrhpSf

- Infrastructure Engineer: http://bit.ly/36Xgfo1

- Full-Stack Engineer: http://bit.ly/2Sb7AZO

Experience in AI/ML/robotics is not required!

Bringing AI from laboratory research to success in the real world requires a team that represents that world -- a diversity of backgrounds, points of view, and experiences. Our common denominator: ambitious expectations, love of learning, and empathy for those around us. Curious? Read more about our company and our engineering culture! http://bit.ly/37U1rba
>If they won't renew your lease, they would have to evict you. A process that takes 30 days at least, and requires a visit to a judge. The judge would most likely side with the tenant on this one.

Why would the judge side with someone that is no longer in a contractual relationship with the landlord? I would certainly not risk the mark against my renting record.

Read the Horowitz report. They fed you lies.
> "So the bottom line is this: if we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn’t between protest and politics. We have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform."

obama spends the first 7 paragraphs explaining the ideals of government and the vulgarity of violence, and somehow ends up on this "bottom line": let's both (peacefully) protest and politic.

with all due respect, his perspective is subverted by the unique privilege and prestige that only comes with being a past president, from having played the game and won, and reads as out of touch with the needs and desires of most black folks. those folks are tired of waiting and being told to be nice and polite and civil while the police kill members of their community at random.

let's appreciate the need to work the political system the way it was designed--to be slow, deliberate and inefficient--but let's not lose touch with the long violence and oppression of the system against people of color, principally black and brown folks. let's not lose touch with the immediacy and direction of the need that necessarily supercedes slowly meandering civil discourse.

Which happens in part because the office of attorney general is an elected position. Police are very powerful politically. And for whatever reason, you are seen as "soft on crime" if you attempt to prosecute police for carrying out crimes.
Making sense of the present moment
Just because you managed to get a job at Facebook in the past doesn't necessarily mean you can get a job anywhere else now. Tech interviews are very fickle. If people studied for a Facebook interview but don't have the time to do that now due to something like caring for someone then they could be in trouble.
I am surprised at the poor economics behind Eventbrite. In 2019, they lost a cool $26 million with a -21% margin. What are their major unit cost items? At the risk of sounding ignorant, isn't it just a website?
America rebelled precisely because we didn't have a meaningfully representative form of government? People couldn't vote for the reforms they wanted because there wasn't a democracy. Rebellion against an overtly oppressive tyrant as a last resort for the right to representation is different than the opportunistic violence that we're seeing today.
You're equating what we have now (people wanting to make money off their intellectual property) with a fictional scenario where money is no longer needed.

We have to stick with the old way for now, otherwise it would only take one library buying one copy of anything, and it being available to any and everyone on an unlimited basis. That can't work.
