DemandStar | Senior/Lead Frontend Engineers | Pacific Northwest/Remote (US only)/Full-time | https://www.demandstar.com/ | email me at zcohn@demandstar.com

Governments buy things. Companies sell things. DemandStar is marketplace that connects governments and suppliers, resulting in more competition and taxpayer savings for the government, and more opportunities with more discoverability for suppliers. We already have over 500 active governments and 100,000 suppliers on our network and are growing quickly.

About the company:
Have revenue, recently raised a $2M growth round from VersionOne, Advance Venture Partners, and Forefront Venture Partners. 13 person company, 3 person engineering team. Heavy presence in the Greater Pacific Northwest (not just Seattle!), but fully committed to building a remote friendly company in the long term (not just during Covid). Strong belief in building a healthy culture where people aren't working 60 hour weeks.

We're looking for senior and lead frontend engineers to build massive new features along the procurement lifecycle and engagement hooks that will directly impact the growth trajectory of the business. We're building a collaborative engineering team that tackles big problems together.

Tech stack is React, migrating toward typescript, .Net backend, and hosted on Azure. Open to introducing new technologies as opportunities arise, but good candidates should have some overlap in the existing stack.

This is giving too much credit to organizations. In some Cloud providers arechosen plainly because some executive asked “So are we cloud?” And someone said “err I don’t think so” and then some other middle manager was charged with “make us cloud please” and it was never a question of what actually makes sense just a “do we side with Amazon, Google or Microsoft?”.
I wonder how many billions of dollars worth of unsold cars are just 'lying around'. How many billions of dollars worth of fire trucks are parked right now doing nothing?

Given redundancy and inventory logistics, once your industry gets to some number of billions of dollars of equipment, you're goddamn right there's going to be a billion dollars worth of equipment lying around. It's not the magnitude, it's the ratio that you should get upset about, if there's even anything to get upset about.

There's also rates of consumption versus rates of production. If consumption rates are variable (eg, ramp-up to Black Friday), there is only so much variability I can manage in production. I can produce at a mostly-stable rate all year and let inventory accumulate during slow months, or I can improve my variability, but the cost is more complicated management of people, and increased likelihood of late surprises.

Also, don't data centers collide with public sector timelines? If you have to start building a data center by November 1 and you try to get your approvals all to happen on October 31, you're going to fail, and possibly get fired.

You try to line those up ahead of time, maybe break ground before the next election so they can't stop it, or someone else sucks up the surplus grid power in that substation. If it's built early, it's sitting around waiting for demand to use it. But at least you have it.

This is so sad. Cuck fancer.
The popup about cookies was a distraction that made it hard to read the copy about your product. So I left more quickly than I might have otherwise. So instead of a more intelligent and thoughtful comment here, what you will have is information about my time on your web page and the fact that I did not accept cookies...ask yourself "why would someone?"

There's nothing in accepting cookies for me. And there's much much less in it for you because it is just annoying. Tracking me across the web or even your site isn't your core business...ask yourself "why are we doing it?"

My advice, this is a business to business sort of product. Those relationships are base on win-win. Tracking across the internet is not a win for me. That means it's not really a win for you. Google and Facebook can get away with it. Your business is not Google or Facebook.

Good luck.

It is a large site by traffic measure but I would guess the traffic is heavily read only. Managing workloads with more data mutation introduces different complexities which mean you can't just cache everything and accept the TTL for writes based on cache invalidation.

Point taken - a case of "never attribute to malice...", though I think the burden of clarity rests mostly on the party making the stipulation in the first place. Even if the intended message was as you suggest, it is an informative case of how not to get your message across.

Reducing infra costs are rarely the largest opportunity for an organization, and even then the majority of infra waste is typically unrelated to language. Moreover, trading iteration velocity (and/or rewriting your application) for some marginal infra cost improvement is not a very good approach.

I almost wrote a similar comment, but academic paper abstracts can be highly variable. They don't always include the conclusion, or without sufficient detail to act on it without reading the actual conclusion section.

This contrasts with the style GP talks about (also used in the US military, referred to as "Bottom Line Up Front" or "BLUF"). The first thing is the conclusion/actionable part with enough detail to start acting without needing to read the rest, and often zero justification (more a statement of fact or a directive: we will do X starting on Monday). Most of the rest contains things like analysis of alternatives or rationales, useful for some of the people to use but not essential for most to read.

Some academic papers (taken as a whole) are similar to this, but it's not universal.
Yes, and there is also some risk of process errors introducing infections, and of course the same resources ($, professional time) might better create more health/longevity if directed elsewhere.

"Why doesn't anyone question the ECMO machines? I'm definitely no doctor, but as a software engineer if my system failed 30-40% of the time I'd stop using it."

ECMO is a hail-mary treatment for people who would almost certainly die otherwise. A 40% chance of death is better than a 99% chance of death.

What you're saying here actually happened with ventilators (though ventilators are nowhere nearly as invasive or complex as ECMO).

You'd get a check so long as risk is over a threshold, without regard to how far above it is. If harm is "dead at 30" vs "dead at 45", that's an extra 15 years lost, so harm should go up linearly.
My 'home' network (with 10 people, 70 unique devices last month), there are currently only about 15 broadcast packets per minute, and they're all things that could be filtered/handled in wifi firmware (DHCP requests, multicast management traffic, STP stuff, ARP discovers, etc.).

If other networks are like mine, then it would be reasonable for firmware to wake up for any unhandled thing, since the application processor might need to handle that unknown message, and to not wake up would leave the application developer sad...
I've been working on and off on a search engine for the past few months. The way I see it you have 2 choices if you want to build a general-purpose search engine:

1. Scrape results from other search engines, similar to Searx

2. Build a Bing wrapper, similar to DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, et al.

With Ask.Moe I've tried both. The problem with scraping other search engines is that they (especially Google) are very quick to CAPTCHA your requests, so you'd need to setup and maintain tons of proxies and you'd likely struggle with search engines returning results based on the proxy location since they like to ignore URL parameters/user settings. The problem with building a Bing wrapper is that it's incredibly expensive ($3/1000 transactions for just Web, $7/1000 if you want Web/News/Image/Video/etc. as well). Let's say reaching the frontpage of Reddit/HN netted you 100.000 visitors submitting an average of 10 queries - that would end up costing you $3000 or $7000 depending on which plan you were using. And you most likely wouldn't have any ads/affiliate links to offset the costs since Microsoft Advertising (I believe that's what DuckDuckGo/Ecosia use) is invite-only and won't even entertain talking to you about your new search engine.

The reason you see a new search engine pop-up every month and disappear again the next is because it's easy to build a Bing wrapper but incredibly difficult to make it profitable.

My plan is to build various categories (so far I've built https://ask.moe/math and https://ask.moe/currency - podcast or news will likely be the next) that are inexpensive to operate and can hopefully generate some revenue. I'm also strongly considering supporting accounts where users can buy credits to use the general-purpose search engine, but I think it will be very difficult to convince people to pay to use a search engine.
How do you get a job in academia without going through a soul-shattering PhD program though?

All my college friends who took an academic path are miserable.
Salary isn't all about "the value you add" and at the end of the day it's supply and demand.

However, regardless of if the worker is taking a lower salary they should be maximizing purchasing power in whatever location they're working. If you can move somewhere rural, have a better quality of life, and have a higher savings rate while taking a pay cut you're still better off than your counterparts in [HCOL area] making double your salary.

Your salary only matters when compared to your peers in similar living situations.
True, also there is now a bigger talent pool to choose from, since you don't need to worry about finding candidates willing to relocate, that means more employees to choose from.

Are you aware that the decryption you are talking about is simple JavaScript execution and that according to this interpretation, even browsers are in violation?

No, they're not. The Javascript was designed to run in the browsers as authorized user agents so that a user can view the video.

You can't host something publicly, available via common, general purpose technology and then claim protection when someone uses this general purpose technology to obtain it.

Yes, you can. Literally, the entire point of copyright and IP law is to incentive creators to make their creations public by protecting them when they do so.

> but you really don't need a government regulator to tell you that centralising all your data with Google, who are providing largely free services, is risky.

>You need a government regulator to stop large companies from buying up lots of small companies and adding them to this risk pool.

These two statements are not even close to arguing the same thing.

The previous commenter is saying that it's common sense that "centralizing all your data with Google" may not be a great idea, especially if you don't have any backup of that data and keep all of it in Google.

They are being downvoted, wrongly, by people who knee-jerk about the "don't need a government regulator" bit. But they only used that phrase as a kind illustration of the common sense that people should have about not having a backup of their data.

Yes, Google does need some government regulation. And yes, people shouldn't need a government regulator to tell them not to keep all their data in the cloud without any local backup at all.
This is why I wrote it's a journey.

It is indeed true that calorific deficit and accurate measurements is the best way to predictable weight loss.

But can you eat chicken and brocoli for the rest of your life? Can you do zero cheating and accurate measurements for ever? Is losing 15 kgrs in 3 months healthy? It is very easy to take the weight back and then some. There is a reason we have the term yo-yo dieting. :(

Food is sustainance, but also is enjoyment. Following a more lax approach where you ease into a better diet and keep enjoying food is a more sustainable long-term approach. Lose 15kgrs in one year instead of 3 months and magical things will happen.
After 3 months of hard dieting you will probably reach for a chocolate during a crave. After 12 months of moderate dieting, you will reach for an apple and you will enjoy it as much as a chocolate. Reprogramming ourselves takes time.
