CallSumo | Remote | FrontEnd, Backend, Devops & UX

We’re building the future of business communications that AI first. Lots of fun NLP and applied AI. Our tech stack is a little complex(By necessity and sometimes due to the inherent shortcomings of a fast moving startup), but a fun challenge for those looking to sink their teeth into fun technical challenges.

Our team is highly motivated and while we have a presence in Silicon Valley (South Bay), we’re a remote-first company.

Our Backend stack is Python, Postgres based Dokerized microservices

Our FrontEnd comprises Vue.js, Angular 2+ and we have a desktop client in C#

We’re a very small and scrappy team (<20) with a solid business model with a software engineer turned serial entrepreneur at the helm.

Prophecy.io | San Francisco bay area | UI Architect | OnSite

Prophecy is a Data Engineering product on Spark/Airflow for Fortune 500. We’ve got a unique IDE based on visual studio code (browser) where you can do visual drag and drop, or code - and you can switch between the two instantaneously. Low code data engineering perhaps, along with our code editor that is specialized, and thus better for data engineering than vanilla VSCode.

Looking for a UI Architect to drive the UI in a team of 3. You have ideally worked on a complex product such as visual studio code, webflow or figma. You’ll drive the overall architecture of UI - and code - a lot.

Basics - React, Redux, GraphQL perhaps tests - Jasmine, Mocha,...

Send me a mail (raj@prophecy.io)

PS. We pay very well and hire only the very best.
I don't see what was incorrect about the parent.

It goes on to say "However, there are microdroplets which stay in the air for 30+ minutes depending on the air currents."

It sounds like you're both in agreement that large droplets fall quickly to the ground, and that with COIVD the longer-lasting micro-droplets are a relevant factor.

Am I missing a subtlety?

> For some gamers, latency (both %-ile and long-tail) is incredibly important

I've been on a reliable average 7ms and peak 9ms latency for twelve years. It's not necessary to replace your router hardware to get low latencies.
Yes, sure, but this all unfortunately feeds into the motivations of conspiracy theorists. Maybe it is what it is, but what can we do to stop the wave of noncritical thinking washing over the Internet, where people insist that they are the only wise ones? Are we just doomed? I realize that media has lost its credibility in the eyes of many, I just wish that there was a good amount of high-quality critical thinking to make up for the lack of reliable information, rather than the many low-quality conspiracy theories I'm seeing.
I think you may have responded a little hastily and misunderstood the comment.

---

> An assumption is not a fact.

Correct, and the person you were replying to never implied that it was. I'll rewrite the comment more explicitly for you, instead of using the implied context of the quotation:

> If the goal was not to flatten the curve but to completely stop the virus in its tracks, we would have to implement extremely strict lockdowns. Most people and countries don't have this goal [to completely stop the virus]

---

> A goal isn't a fact either

"Entity X has goal Y" is, indeed, a fact. (EDIT: Or, rather, a statement - which may or not be factual) The person you were replying to claims "Most people and countries do not have the goal to completely stop the virus" as a fact. Neither you, nor they, have provided evidence for or against the factuality of this statement.

---

Can you elaborate on what, exactly, is discredited about "flattening the curve" - shorthand for "reducing the rate-of-increase of new cases, so that the throughput of new cases is within the carrying capacity of the country-in-question's medical infrastructure"?

I've had to deal with a few break-ins and every police officer I've talked to about it said that most burglars are in and out in a few minutes. They've mentioned that physical deterrents are helpful (ie. bars on windows) but not once have they said that an alarm system would help matters.

Almond ObGyn | Senior Software Engineer | ONSITE Bay Area, LA (once COVID-safe), or REMOTE | Full-time

Almond is building an empowering ObGyn care experience.

To say the ObGyn experience today needs attention is an understatement. 3 out of 4 of women in the US are not happy with their care; they are frustrated by the impersonal interactions, loneliness, and inefficient communication cycles, and it’s become clear that the standard care model for other specialties does not work for ObGyn. Almond is an ObGyn that gives women the option to have extraordinary care. We offer a personal connection between doctors and patients, a community-infused care experience, and seamless, tech-enabled care management. See more here: http://www.almondobgyn.com/

We are a team of doctors and builders from Stanford, McKinsey, and tier-1 funded startups driven by a passion to change the way healthcare works. We're just getting started and have had great early traction.

We’re looking to add founding members to our team — people that are passionate about health and paradigm-changing consumer experiences, are energized by the challenge of what we’re taking on, and want to have fun while doing it.

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer (backend), ideally somebody who is excited by beautifully built administrative/backend tools

> The act of asking your question, is itself a judgement

It certainly wasn't intended that way. Maybe you're judging my question incorrectly?
> At first I thought you were saying that people didn't actually want to stop the virus in its tracks.

No, I think that's precisely what they were saying. I don't think that this is unattainable - I think it would have a greater economic cost, particularly to the wealthy, than many countries are willing to bear. It's not unattainable - it would cost them more than those lives are perceived as being worth. Big conceptual difference.
As others have already stated, "Das Kapital" itself is a study and criticism of capitalism, and does not present much in terms of alternatives or "solutions".

It is worth noting that both Marx and Engels were in favour of democracy, even going as far as saying that the actual means of production should be democratized.
Both would probably be appalled by what became of their theories under Stalin and Mao...

Also, as Marx got older he got less and less political active, there is even a letter where he refused to be seen as a leading figure of the communist movement. Das Kapital is from this later period of his life, and subsequently very scant on noneconomic politics...
Location: San Diego, CA

Résumé/CV: Available on request

Web: http://kapamaki.net

I'm a freelance engineer primarily focused on embedded hardware and firmware, from design to prototyping to manufacture. I've designed scores of small-scale embedded "glue" devices, large-scale LED controllers, hardware for autonomous vehicles, 3D mapping rigs, as well as consumer products for Kickstarters and large companies. I have experience with 3D design and machine-shop prototyping, as well as an extensive background in firmware and backend programming.

I'm primarily looking to work on interesting projects, however I wouldn't rule out part- or full-time for the right company. No project is too small, and I do deep discounts for open-source or artistic work.
To understand what is going on, a summary of the legal repartee going on is as follows, written by Vox Day, who formulated the legal strategy and to my understanding, basically wrote all the legal briefs.

The crazy thing is that neither the lawyers nor the Trust & Safety people even read the Terms and Community Guidelines. I mean, one can excuse the gammas and the armchair lawyers for not knowing what the relevant rules and laws are, they're mostly reacting to what they've seen floating around the Internet.

But it's downright bizarre to me how the freaking lawyers don't even know what they're talking about. They'll write dozens of filings all based on the same false premise.

RAID 6 uses some linear algebra to allow m of n copies to reconstruct the original data, where typically m = n - 2, but the math works for any number you like. So if you split up the data using the exact same algorithm, and pre- or post-encrypt the blocks, you should get the same thing being attempted here, and only inflate storage by n/m

This shouldn't be down-voted. Just because you don't like something Lenin did doesn't mean all his observations are wrong.

I recently found https://ilr.law.uiowa.edu/print/volume-100-issue-5/all-i-rea... which was a great read. Eugene V Debs had a similar conclusion about consolidation being inevitable, but thought that that was a good thing.

And to be clear, whether competition is possible / what's the right trade-off between efficiency and robustness, is really important to grapple with. If we don't know how to e.g. break up Google, proposals like having workers on boards become dramatically more essential.

That's not a realistic option outside Europe and parts of Asia. I'm in SF, the nearest major cities are LA (1h flight) and Seattle (1.5h flight). Those are 10h and 21h by train on a good day, respectively. On a bad day, double that.
Additionally, trains are only 40% or so more efficient in terms of pollution. I suspect in most of the world you're far better off taking the plane and putting the fare difference into carbon credits.
