DataGrail | Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) | Remote or San Francisco | $130k-$165k + equity

We're building a data privacy platform that automates data compliance.

As more cities and countries develop privacy laws, most companies are ill-suited to continuously comply with them. Our platform streamlines this entire process while enabling companies to give their users more control and transparency over their data.

We are currently powering privacy for some of the most well-known companies in the world, and we've continued to show very healthy growth (including over the past few months).

We're looking with someone with 5+ years of experience to shape our frontend architecture.

Tech Stack: React, Styled Components, Jest, Ruby/Rails, Postgres

If you'd like to hear more about what we're working on, email me at josh [at] datagrail [dot] io.
Kaizen | Remote | Full-time | Software engineer (Kotlin, Svelte) | https://kaizen.app

You'd be employee #1, joining an experienced founding team in the human capital and quantified self space. We're building Strava for your career, helping professionals get more feedback at work.

Founded in early 2020, we're a remote-first team of founders that have done it before. Our flagship product makes feedback yours through strong data privacy controls, immediate through fast feedback loops, and in rhythm with work, through integrations with Slack and Google Calendar. We use technologies like Kotlin and Svelte and we care about being resourceful, optimistic, and candid.

Continuous, frequent improvement is our core approach not only for our customers, but for ourselves, our codebase, and our company.

We're hiring our first software engineer. We're looking for someone who can flex across the stack (T-shaped!), is self-motivated, and wants to have fun building a company with us.

If this sounds interesting, please say hi at jordan@kaizen.app (I'm the CEO and co-founder).
Ask HN: What 'hard tech' company are you founding or most interested in?
Where 'hard tech' is defined as requiring lots of time, money (or both) and may or may not be possible with high technical risk.

I'm just really interested in people working on fixing hard problems and want to know what is out there.
I'm quite aware that intellectual laborers are underpaid. I'm pointing out that abolishing copyright without any replacement system would make the situation far worse, effectively eliminating many careers.

If this work didn't have much value that would be one thing, but it clearly does. Otherwise people would not be clamoring for access to it. Nobody cares if crap is freely available.

People really want this stuff. They just don't want to pay for it either directly or via any public method. Meanwhile they spend the cost of a median price book or album in 1-2 visits to Starbucks without thinking about it.
I never said that a potential for violence was the reason they became police, I only said there was a correlation, and that the correlation increased with respect to tenure.
I learned this the hard way during the 2008(ish) crisis when oil dropped from $150/barrel to ~$30/barrel and I sold other assets at a loss to buy USO (an ETF that was ostensibly supposed to track the price of oil). Instead, when oil went up to $80/barrel in a few months, USO increased by ~3% while the other stuff I'd sold at a loss had rebounded (though to a lessor extent than the price of a barrel of oil).

SOMEbody made a multigenerational fortune off of that price discrepancy. The SEC was briefly investigating that episode, but the investigation went away after a while.

As a little guy, you can make a brilliant play by correctly predicting the future and still get totally screwed.
Very nice. Just a few thoughts came to mind.

Where do you get the data? How is it different from https://openweathermap.org/api ?

Are there APIs demo call that we developers can try?

Is there a cap limit, if so how much?

What are the pricing plans?
In the US there are oversight departments/agencies and even the FBI that are responsible for legal enforcement above and beyond the general Police. However, they usually wind up in closer relationships professionally and rarely ever prosecute criminal actions of Police.

Both my parents were retired Police, and I know there's a lot of good people that work in those fields. I also know that not every community, situation or person is the same and there are a lot of people on power trips that even fellow cops don't always like. It's often hard to speak out from within a group.

Some of the more recent events are particularly grievous and should absolutely be prosecuted... There are many more incidents that should be as well. I tend to say it's rarely (though sometimes is) about race, it's usually a matter of blue vs everyone else.

Press releases aren’t progress.

Work on the New Glenn started in 2012. It was publicly announced in 2016. It’s still at least a year from flight.

Work on the BE-4 started in 2011. It’s first public planned release date was 2017, it’s at least 4 years late.
Good writeup. Another thing that seems bad about it is that "not being (clearly defined as a right)" isn't the same as "being clearly defined as (not a right)". I know it's the math in me speaking, but that negation seems really important.

It amounts to saying that if the courts haven't clearly established a right, then you effectively don't get access to it, while the constitution (and basic ethics) is pretty clear that rights not being specifically enumerated isn't supposed to be construed as denying those rights.
The San Francisco vigilance committee voluntarily disbanded after they overthrew the local government:

The federal courts eventually upheld the vigilance committee’s actions.

There are two parties to the transaction. The market clearing rate is set when the two parties agree. When one party is not showing up, there is no market clearing rate.

The intrinsic value may in fact be down, but there is no way to know for sure without two parties in the transaction.
It's not unexpected at all. I've had several template library writers reach out to me about the potential here. And there is some. The challenge is figuring out how to hide the reactivity in a way that your end users would be happy with but still benefit. I think it is an interesting challenge.
Thanks for mentioning it! How would you compare it to the other tools from the original post?
"We have investigated ourselves and found we have done nothing wrong"

Until the concept of "Internal Affairs" dies and we get an actual independent investigative arm or some other strategy that will continue

The only time an outside investigator is called in, normally is because someone dies AND the public is upset about that death.
Since no end product is guaranteed, you're taking a risk when you're helping people on Kickstarter. I think that is pretty clear from Kickstarter's charter. Thus I wouldn't exactly call it a scam.

If anyone is scamming anyone, it's Kickstarter itself, since all you get for your risk-taking activity, is the finished product of whoever you decide to help, and none of the potential profits associated with it.

Usually speculation is associated with a percentage of profits, and there is none to be had at Kickstarter. All you are doing there, is helping someone potentially finish something they're working on. Further more, Kickstarter does not seem to communicate the speculative nature of what they're doing well enough. IMHO that's the "scammiest" part of their whole business model.

I personally followed Mr. Parnell closely online, and if his work was ever a scam, it's one of the most elaborate and time-consuming out there. I don't think it's cool to judge someone for having an obvious mental breakdown. And I don't even think you're entitled to feel angry at anyone but yourself for risking money on something with so little to gain.

On the other hand, Parnell sure did give to his followers, particularly in fantasticly marvellous visuals and ideas of something that probably should have been made with a team of several talented programmers and artists, instead of just one person. AFAIK he also gave out demos to backers. But if this is how you feel about Josh Parnell, I won't even ask what you think about Chris Roberts... ;)
In the case of copyright, at least nominally, it's the more-restrictive (and European) Berne Convention (1886) terms which have been adopted elsewhere.

To what extent this reflects European rather than US interests I'm uncertain, though the latter certainly exist.

Have you tried to book an AirBnb during a marathon? The most basic room goes for $200/night, before you add in the "cleaning" fees or the "service fees" or the other "fees" that hotels are required by law in their original quotes.
The Growing Movement of Livestreaming Programmers
IF you wanna be more mad than this, go look up how much the university you attended spends on subscriptions to these corporate publishers.

Fact is, the internet has made the business model of a middle man being required to deliver content obsolete.
That's exactly my starting point to work on ts-liveview. I want to have the runtime property of phoenix liveview (being lightweight and deliver first meaningful paint ASAP) while enjoying the type-checked dev-experience.

Erlang, Elixir, and Lisp(s) show great concepts but missing dev-time type checking (from IDE and compiler) is my road blocker.

Edit: I know there are typed-racket and dialyzer for erlang but my experience with they are not reactive as I do dev / refactoring with TS so far.
Yeah, but there is physical and people infrastructure behind many websites. Uber/DoorDash/Lyft have drivers and cars. My organization has large parking garages. GoPro makes hardware. Zoom has horrendous bandwidth costs and requires a ton of servers.

They all have some element of their business which doesn't meaningfully scale exponentially.

What does EventBrite have that would be like that?
I interpreted OP in the following way - US influence on tech shoehorn their politics in every other place. If something happens in Syria or other third world countries, it won't get recognition or will inconvenience people outside of their countries. So I am guessing OP is upset about that. I do think US influence on tech to this degree is bad given the recent years and political environment. Most of the web is controlled by US companies and affects people living in other countries.

I have seen a few mobs attacking people from other countries because they couldn't get the current political environment in US. And why would they? They don't live in the US and thus don't get everything happening in US.
I'm pretty amused by the byline on this piece.

"Here’s to a new generation of entrepreneurs who prioritize building sustainable businesses," says the guy whose job title is apparently "Flying cars salesman" at a company that has mostly produced CG renderings of their future product.

https://www.watfly.ca/

As the market is currently discovering, what goes up, must come down. A principle that applies to flying cars as well.
> Its because there isn't anywhere to put cash.

That's quite close. Maybe "there isn't anywhere to make a decent return on invested".

There are plenty of places where one can invest, but the big central banks have destroyed investing - the cost of money is next to nothing so by investing in normal businesses you can't get a decent ROI (no shortage of money). You have to invest in whatever bubbles you can spot.
At the same time, Amazon was not cash flow positive when it IPOed and it figured out its profitibility just fine.

Summary: exception proves the rule?

A lot of these companies are probably run by assholes, too. But just like being an asshole doesn't make you a Steve-Jobs-like-company-savior, being unprofitable doesn't make you Amazon. All it means is that you work for an asshole, and your options won't likely ever be worth anything.
These ships move longways, with the bulbous ends in front and back. However, they maneuver differently in battle, as their armaments are primarily on their sides, akin to 18th century frigates and galleons.

The Warshawski sails are a fascinating bit of tech. You can read about them here:

That's a bit before I was using iOS, so I'll take your word on that one ;) AFAIK some system call filtering went into WebKit at some point to make this specific exploit unreachable from the web process, so I guess you could call it "less severe" than JailbreakMe was. That being said, I guess "zero day affecting all current devices" is probably good enough to get priority. (FWIW, heavily publicized non-security bugs often get quicker updates, sometimes within one or two days, which I assume pushes close to how quickly they can get a fix merged and through B&I.)
If it is true the bug was present in iOS 11 and fixed in iOS 12 before being reintroduced in iOS 13, that might align with macOS 10.14 (≈ iOS 12) being unaffected.
Apparently, whoever is running that account wants to be part of the current thing and making an enemy of China might not be good for Rust's development.

I'm a bit bitter because they haven't given a fig about the minority most likely to be killed by law enforcement than any other racial or ethnic group and even use a license from an organization that domain squats on the very same minority.

When I was a teenager, I joined a poker game with some of the local sharps. They cleaned me out. I knew enough about poker to know they were cheating, but not enough to know how they did it.

I decided after that to stay away from investing in games I didn't understand well.
I took your statement to mean that they became police BECAUSE they enjoy wielding power over others. Re-reading your statement though, I see what you mean
Many of these are gig companies, middle man companies who add no value to the market. Maybe it's time for them to go to the history.
We Stand Together – Snap CEO Memo
Call 911. Seriously, get an EMT out there.
Ah, that is the old CCP argument.

We are accountable to the people, we are a meritocracy that makes great decisions...but we won't let you vote.

When people start talking a lot about control (it is kind of a tech bro meme at this point), you can be sure that they are the kind of person who shouldn't be in control.

And btw, the cost of screwing minority shareholders has been basically zero in the US (you usually only see this kind of emerging markets) but it never stays zero. And typically, these companies will trade at a discount.

In reality, you have to give up control. When you take outside money, which you will have to do, then you give up control. I have no idea why people view this as particularly problematic (again, this is the CCP approach)...if you don't like oversight or accountability, don't start a company. Simple.

(Tech CEOs seem to write about this endlessly...you will notice that there isn't a particularly consistent position. They like juicing the stock market so they can bump their pay package but they don't like the oversight. These two things are connected. The reason public markets can produce bad outcomes is because they become linked to CEO pay...in tech, there is a CEO celebrity culture which always sees people side with executives...but most of these people are incompetent...Facebook's executives seem to have legendary status, despite them managing to literally destroy a monopoly...so when you see someone saying they want to retain "control", I would ask why. It usually indicates incompetence).
Same reason why sectarian violence in the west garners more sympathy than similar amounts of sectarian violence in africa, the middle east, or asia.

Does it pin versions of 2nd degree dependencies too? Like pip freeze would do?
Also, when you remove a package, does it know to clear packages that were its deps and are not needed anymore?
Outside of Python 2/3 differences, are Python interpreters not backwards compatible?

In other words, while obviously a program written for 3.3 won't work in 2.7, but will a program written for 3.3 fail to run in 3.8?

If it runs fine, why the need for multiple interpreters? I'd think you'd get by just fine by having the latest 2.x and 3.x installed.

Yeah I guess I mean more I don't understand what it takes mechanically to support those types of transitions. It makes sense to me but I also feel like there would be a lot of details in a generalizable solution. Super interesting though.
Ironic, because I’m rather livid that local and national news are not airing the obvious clips of police brutality that are going around the country. Last night multiple people lost eyes to “rubber bullets” (baton rounds is more accurate) at peaceful protests, aiming at their heads.

I’ve also noticed that people who are comfortable using the destruction of property to justify the brutalizing of human lives have the unique ability to see looters before and after the clip began and ended, or perhaps just out of frame, or perhaps halfway across the city.
