PopSQL (YC S19) | Founding Engineer (frontend, backend, or full stack) | REMOTE | https://popsql.com

Hi HN, I'm the founder of PopSQL, a collaborative SQL editor for teams. We initially launched on HN in 2017 when PopSQL was a side project. Now it's a full blown business with hundreds of paying companies, growing month over month revenue, a team of 5, and funding from Gradient (Google's AI fund), FundersClub, and Y Combinator. We have a ton of things to build in order to fulfill our vision of helping teams collaborate using data.

We're looking for a founding engineer that will have a huge impact on the product and features we build. You'll get to define our technical architecture, processes, and culture. You'll own engineering end to end and get to build a team. You'll get to work with customers directly to figure out what to build. The ideal candidate has an eye for design and wants to build a delightful product.

Frontend: React, JavaScript, some TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL, Storybook, next.js, Tailwind

Backend: Ruby, Rails, GraphQL, Postgres, Terraform, Docker, AWS

Learn more about us and how we work at https://popsql.com/about. To apply, email me directly at rahil@popsql.com and tell me why you're perfect for the role. Thank you!

My experience in Hamburg, Germany was that getting an apartment in the city was waiting for someone else to die. Getting an apartment in Boston took me two weeks. In Germany, it took two months.

Germany, at least, keeps costs low by using the common market to depress wages. Housing supply in the dominant cities is very tight vs. wages. See Berlin and Munich.

Surely a hedge fund has three advantages compared to investing yourself:

* Higher amounts of money to invest immediately, so they can better capitalise on the data quickly.

* Balance investment risk over many different assets - they can take a higher degree of risk/reward as any single failure in investment is unlikely to topple them

* Combine multiple data sets with other trading strategies to maximise returns.

I use very cheap notebooks with a plain paper cover. I tried more expensive Moleskine notebooks a while ago and found a surprising problem with them. They were too beautiful to use. I couldn't bring myself to blemish them with my unfiltered flow-of-mind notes which would often turn out chaotic and stupid. I would only write things down selectively when I felt they were worthy and sufficiently structured. This would in turn inhibit most of my writing and significantly reduce the value of this habit. With a cheaper notebook the effect disappears. The less holy it is, the more useful it becomes.

On the other hand I highly recommend finding a really good pen to write with.

I'm still not sure what the VPN fallacy is, and I'm asking genuinely trying to understand.

If someone goes into private mode (and tor becomes enabled) and visits a site, wouldn't the owners of that site have less information on that person than if they visited from their own IP address?

What exactly is the fallacy here?

I gave Firefox a lot of tries, some times for months, some times for years. Now I'm back to, out of all things, Microsoft Edge.

It's been a good experience, and I found the privacy settings (in Europe distribution anyway) a pleasure to disable. Collections are also a pretty nifty addon.
Here's another article (from 2012) describing the same calculation:

http://h14s.p5r.org/2012/09/0x5f3759df.html
This article may be poorly written, but if you actually read through the whole thing, it makes some brilliant points:

1. IaaS providers are incentivized to create services that lure you with managed solutions that seem like a great deal on paper, while they are actually more expensive to operate than their self-rolled alternative.

2. "DevOps" and "Infra" people charged with making these decisions often follow the industry zeitgeist, which for the moment is whatever AWS, GCP, and Azure are offering. This is in spite of the best interests of the company they work for. The right decision in so many cases is what choice one can defend when something goes wrong, or what you can parlay into the next gig. If costs, performance, and features aren't closely managed, scrutinized, compared, going with a solution like Aurora/Redshift/Dynamo won't be challenged.

3. Nothing is easily comparable because these services aren't just a CPU as you mention, instead they're hardware and software rolled into one. This is intentional, and has little to do with making things easier for you. At best, IaaS providers defend this as "differentiation" but it's closer to obfuscation of true cost. Go ahead and ask your AWS rep if use case x, y, and z will perform well on lambdas and you'll likely get a near canned response that they all fit perfectly, even if y is a job with high load spread uniformly through time. The only way you can make this comparison is by creating the two services, standing them up in production for a week and checking the bill. In other cases such as FPGAs and databases, you'll have a much harder time as not only is the software/hardware offering unique, but the user code will be completely different and require entire rewrites to get what _might_ be a fair comparison.
Ehhh but there is evidence? There are plenty of cases. It’s not even reported any more it’s a given.

On this principle I was actually with migadu for a long time - only recently did I switch to fastmail.

Long story short migadu are not trustworthy, they fail to assist support tickets and don't notify their clients of outages where mail was deleted - blaming the client for not regularly looking at their homepage XD.

I did look at many smaller providers, I was particularly interested in finding a uk based one. Unfortunately my requirement for a wildcard inbox with true blacklisting and sender rewriting narrows the field considerably.

If fastmail drops me I'll be back to hosting my own and all the PITA that is. Or more likely writing an interface on top of some business mail solution.

Most companies have smart engineers. The difference is how they prioritize tasks. Most companies spend a significant amount of time building new features. Netflix is pretty low in terms of number of features. Their core product is uptime and reliability. So the result is that they _have_ to reinvent scalable solutions because the rest of us are accepting production issues for more time to build out features. What you see is the result of laser focus on uptime. Not even AWS cares about uptime as much as netflix.

In London, it's absolutely the opposite.

London Bridge Station has recently been rebuilt to have a mezzanine style area. It's the 4th busiest in the UK with 61 million entries and exits.

St Pancras and Kings Cross were similarly rebuilt.

It is a bit complex to describe London Bridge to non-Londoners, but simply put, it was 15 or so platforms that were about 20ft wide and 12 carriages long, with nowhere to queue and trains every few minutes, on every platform (and it's a terminus, not a through-station).

A mezzanine in a central city for passengers to wait is an absolute necessity. Doubly so if the station is a terminus, which all of the major stations in London are (I'm not counting Blackfriars or St Pancras).

For the non-English readers, there is only one North-South through railway line in London (Thameslink), and only one East-West (-ish) (Crossrail) and that hasn't opened. All mainline stations in London terminate, and then you have to use the tube to connect to another.
Oddly I was at Goodwill and picked up a RCA tv with an HDMI input for $20. It is only 18", but will do for the Pi 400 I grabbed today. Cheap used and still useful monitors are out there.

Answering to both responses to my post: as an European citizen I know that technically US is better at doing data collection, even more so because it's a "friend" country and we can't wait to give our data to them

But my question really is: does it really matter to me, provided that the data is gonna be collected anyway, who does it?

They're both, at my eyes, not doing it to my advantage.
True, the first order logic is unique in that it satisfies compactness and L-S. Extending the language to second order language (although this is not quite standard terminology) is a whole new ball of wax since the concept of a model changes as well. You can introduce a quantifier over 'unique' reals but this is a rather hollow extension since the nature of that quantifier remains just as vague. I also fail to see why the uniqueness of reals is so important. Using second order language you would have to forcefully /
'declare' every such object.
No, it is just another form of minority rule. Why should 7% of the country get to set its environmental policy in exchange for less voice in the national government?

I've felt this a few times, but ended up not making the jump to a different field because of my lack of expertise compared to tech, and the pay downgrade that would incur.

Something I've realised is that I will often jump to the conclusion of being 'done with tech', predicated on a fairly narrow band of experience. Whilst I may not get my jollies from the 'cloud' and ever-changing landscape of web technologies, I am still genuinely interested in low-level programming, data structures and Linux (I'm a Windows dev). I use these interests to broaden my days beyond just working in my narrow, specialised scope, creating interest and stimulation which otherwise would not exist. Who knows, maybe that can create a realistic diverse career branch out of where I currently am?

Lots of iOS games already support gamepads and iOS has supported keyboards and mice for a while now. I'm guessing that developers will be able to support keyboard/mouse once and get it on the iPad and Apple Silicon Macs.
Competition is so fierce that they all grow spindly and weak. A strong storm could flatten the entire grove. It dies back and regrows constantly, no tree ever getting very large. Or rarely. With accompanying crash and surge in forest animal populations. Unstable.

>Rather than having your traffic logged by your local ISP, bound by the laws of the land and all the privacy regulations in your country, you send all your traffic through a third party based in a foreign country with no oversight whatsoever.

Why would Google, internally, implement a feature as if they were maliciously attacking their own systems?
Windows 8 was launched with a primary touch interface that emerged after closing apps, even if they were "desktop" apps. 8.1 retreated somewhat but Windows 10 went even further back to the default point-and-click Start Menu interface, while retaining touch elements like tiles, and introducing some other touch-friendly changes. Compared to 8 at launch it's much friendlier to the mouse and keyboard users.
There are plenty of companies that treat content that was created while you were a premium user differently when you revert back to a free user.

I’m not saying that anyone is entitled to it, I’m just saying that I think the model of ‘content created when I was a premium subscriber can retain some limited premium features’ is a much more graceful and customer-friendly downgrade path.

Forcing all your documents into either public, or a downloadable format you will never be able to edit again even if you resubscribe, doesn’t seem very consumer friendly.

Its a hard challenge to create bots that have good UX and help users, even without taking context/history into account. A lot of companies are just focusing on getting that right, and delivering that value first.

But I think everyone building bots wants to go beyond that. I work on bots at Intercom and believe we can build bot experiences much better than traditional search.

At the same time, I think google search is heading a conversational direction - context now carries over between queries, and it seems like that naturally trends towards more conversational or agent interfaces.
I know this station and don't believe the mezzanine is the problem. There are two trains running perpendicularly. The "mezzanine" is the first floor with the blue line platform. Yes, additional stairs/elevators could help, as well as timing changes.

It's simply one of the busiest stations due to its location.

The huge mezzanine in the other stations such as at Pershing is mostly wasted space however.

I hate regulations which try to protect stupid people from their own incompetence while there are many very smart people waiting to have their first chance to prove their competence.

The pie is limited and the only way to reward smart people is by allowing stupid people to fail so that smart people can take their place. When this happens, everyone wins, even the idiots win as consumers... The pie can only get bigger when you have smart people in charge.

An idiot should never be anything more than a consumer, you can't put them in charge of investment or production. If an idiot has money, you want to take that money away from them as fast as possible.

The system should aim to accelerate the failure of incompetent people, not slow it down.

I mean presumably you could just have the subject or subjects of the video sign the content. A full unedited interview for example could be signed by the interviewer and interviewee.

Edit: This would of course be predicated on PKI being safe and easy for most people to use which decades has proven otherwise though.
You're talking about making people politically and legally equal. But attempts to make people economically equal are what the rest of us are discussing here. Your example of the Civil Rights movement is therefore rather irrelevant.

Attempts to make people economically more equal can succeed, if they are partial and gradual. Attempts to do so radically and quickly seems, historically, to quite often result in oppression and disaster.
Thanks. I agree with you, except a 6 digit code is worse than a good random password, or magic link with e.g. 64 bits of entropy.
I don't see how this comment is helpful. My whole point is that legos are not just for children, so to argue that they are necessarily infantilizing is to take a deliberately ignorant stance on them. I think you should do some research on legos.
This would be the proper description for the spanish flu. But with Covid-19 it's different. No cykotine, but BK overreaction. Healthy immune systems are not triggered to kill the body, only weak and old are in danger. Besides the neurological damage in some.
You're using the past tense. Sorry to say, still the case.
I agree with this point of view. I often get tired of the relentlessly competitive society that is continually pushed upon us.

The reality is, there are endevours out there which are not predicated on dehumanising zero-sum transactions. For example, non-profits (e.g. Mozilla, Free Software Foundation) and the education sector. Even just receiving education (e.g. part-time post-graduate degrees) can also add a nice flavour and richness to a life otherwise occupied in the rat race.
