Schoolhouse.world | Full-stack web developer & designers | REMOTE | FULL-TIME and INTERNS | https://schoolhouse.world

We are a new non-profit startup founded by Sal Khan with the mission of connecting the world through learning. Our peer tutoring platform empowers students everywhere with free online tutoring over Zoom. It's still the early days — we currently have a couple thousand learners from 40+ countries, with plans to grow this platform to millions.

We are looking to hire a small, fully remote team of full stack engineers and designers. Our first version was quickly built on Coda to respond to the pandemic, but we are now developing a new web app from scratch. We want people who thrive in a fast-paced environment and can do some of everything: designing the architecture of a web app, writing algorithms, crafting CSS media queries, deploying and scaling on AWS, etc.

— Stack: Currently JavaScript, Node, GraphQL, React, MongoDB, AWS. We’re early and nothing is set in stone. You will shape this.

— Qualifications: Full stack development, with scalability, devops, and security experience a huge plus. Can build things from scratch. Excited to learn anything and everything.

— $: Competitive salary.

— tl;dr: Foundational role in a mission-oriented startup leading a movement in peer tutoring.

You can either apply on Angel.co (https://angel.co/company/schoolhouse-world) or, even better, email me at drew@schoolhouse.world.
When I was specifically learning and using Scheme I also settled on Chicken Scheme. For the following reasons:

1. It was very fast. Code written in it was comparable to the C code I was writing at the same time.

2. Very good C interop. Writing code to make use of C libraries was a near painless experience.

3. Very good collection of eggs (packages, think Rust's crates). I rarely needed to make use of (2).
Ultimately, almost all arguments against conspiracy theories boil down to appeals to authority. Only a few people have personal evidence of the moon landing, the rest are relying on authority.

The main issue with convincing people who believe in conspiracy to return to orthodoxy is that there aren't many tools beyond appeal to authority. If your only tactics are appeal to authority and bullying you are not going to win many hearts and minds.

Hello, I'm Paul! I work primarily in backend technologies and specialize in making odd data sets come together in ways that don't seem apparent to give my clients an edge in their fields. Most recently, I've worked on a technology that I call VoteFlipper; it's a set of AIs that tell you if any particular voter will vote in an election and gives you a good idea of their true partisan lean. VoteFlipper shows campaigns how to use their resources in the most effective ways; why spend money advertising to folks who will never share your ideology?

It’s had a good 2018 and a great 2020, but I’m looking for new opportunities to work with fresh, unique datasets to solve different problems.

You can check out the main site here: https://voteflipper.com and I’ve made a series of timestamped, interactive charts on my Twitter, https://twitter.com/voteflipper.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Different students have different challenges. In urban areas, hardware access can be the limiting factor.
The ramifications for misuse are real BUT

I think making a studio that specializes in this type of work is genius. This technology could really change the industry in interesting ways. Faster iteration, less re-shoots, less extras.

I guess you could even "storyboard" with rough deepfakes.

Pretty interesting stuff. I wonder what else people will come up with if this stuff becomes a shrink wrapped industry standard.
Ignoring of course the reconstruction of the way it might have looked originally. Which the 'owners' of the building have not done. And which informs and can indeed inspire.

Hey the museum that holds the David has a half-dozen copies placed around the building, to help reduce the congestion of the line to see the original. Are they crass? Are they not 'earned'?

The 'owners' of the originals cannot of course remodel them to show how they looked in the past, which can be hard to understand from ruins. Folks often express regret at the damage done by one war or ruler or whatever. Yet reversing it is a bigger crime, because its a treasure.

The meaning of the reproduction is, "Hey this is how it might have looked when it was intact." Its interesting and informative. The scale of it has the same ability to inspire the scale of the original had.

We build new things all the time. Texas has many outstanding architectural treasures. That has zippo to do with this subject. Drawing a dichotomy is irrelevant, as building one doesn't preclude building the other.

That all sounds like gobbledygook. The 'spirit imbued' is made-up nonsense. So is the 'meaning'. Its a building, and its interesting and exciting to see how great structures of the past looked.

how is identity politics any different than right left, liberal conservative, religious atheist, vanilla chocolate, vim emacs etc.?
I find it curious that people are so skeptical of China and Vietnam's numbers. A government might be able to hide some percentage points, or even an order of magnitude of the spread. But hiding more than that is pretty impossible in this modern day age. Especially a place like China with high internet penetration, proximity to Hong Kong and a population of overseas relatives in the millions. People may recall the Chinese citizens risking their lives to leak in the ground footage onto YouTube - I can't imagine that would stop if things were bad in China.

So 0 cases might be 10 or even 100. But it's hardly going to be 10000 or 10000000.

It also shows a huge ignorance towards cultural attitudes towards both authority and contagion.

I know plenty of Chinese people who sheltered long before governments told them to due to covid. They were prepared to cancel Chinese New Year rather than whine about the poor sadness of missing Christmas. And when the government issued orders plenty were willing to listen and trust the authorities.

Yes the Chinese people are not infallible: people went to hotpot and whistleblowers were wrongly imprisoned. People also protested in Wuhan.

But man seriously we like to scorn communist countries for having their propaganda but if you are comfortable preaching "their numbers are fake" you're buying into the western rhetoric that China can't have been better than us.

In any case if it is so hard to imagine China and Vietnam achieving containment of the virus maybe some friendlier examples include our friends in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Taiwan.
> It often requires an entire ops team to manage and deploy a Kubernetes based application [...]

So what's wrong with that? At what scale are you operating that requires kubenretes but cannot budget for a team to handle the operations? In what other industries are operations so undermined? As much as we'd like to believe it, this stuff is not yet commoditised in the same way as having an Internet or telephone connection.

> [...] while deploying a unikernel to Google Cloud with today via ops is merely a series of two commands and it will be running within two minutes.

Deployment is not even half the problem. The real issues are maintenance and upkeep. I'm not saying kubenretes is easy to maintain (I can't speak to that), but introducing other tools without addressing the real issues seems odd.
2M lost health coverage, thousands died prematurely in Trump's first 3 years
I've spent some time with the GrapheneOS sources and found quite a few places where the connections to google servers are baked in, like Camera and Gallery reaching out to google maps, the use of Google SUPL servers which has no real alternative at the moment, or hardcoded Google DNS or NTP server IPs.

Maybe the e folks have done all this thorough de-Googling, but the Google developers clearly write Android without thinking twice about tying some piece of code to their servers and systems. It's deeply ingrained in both existing code and Google devs' mentality, and quite depressing if one is serious about de-Googling in the sense of never connecting to a Google server unless by explicit action of the user.

This is why phrases like "completely de-Googled" are frustrating and likely misleading - superficial de-Googling is possible, but I haven't yet seen evidence of deep de-Googling on any Android derivative.

I'm heartened to read what's now at: https://grapheneos.org/#never-google-services , but there's a major sentence that's aspirational rather than reflecting reality: "Text-to-speech, voice-to-text, non-GPS-based location services, geocoding, accessibility services, etc. are examples of other open Android APIs where we need to develop/bundle an implementation based on existing open source projects."

Also given the pace of Android development, maintaining patches that strip out Google references will be a non-trivial endeavor. Let alone finding every new insertion of access to a Google system.

After diving into this issue, I came away more convinced that we need projects like the PinePhone and mobile-capable versions of Linux applications/environments to succeed if we want more control over what our devices are doing and to whom they provide data. Unfortunately, I suspect it is still quite some time away before we can reliably do relatively simple stuff on an open source-based phone as a daily driver that is table stakes on Android/iphone today.

Interesting. I blocked executable file types I knew of though. It's possible someone uploaded a MS Office file with a virus, a HTML file with a phishing scam or some such, though.

Still, I don't think it's right for Google to use their iron feet to stomp an entire website / product / small business / personal project just because of a small fraction of users abusing that service.

ALL services get abused at some point or another during their growth. Learning to deal with those abuses one at a time is a part of the growth of any product and nobody can be expected to have prevented all forms of abuse upfront. If the owners (e.g. me) were made aware of the specific piece of malware I would have definitely done something about it.

What is the immune response to other coronaviruses like? How long can we expect people to stay immune to a given strain?
So the hard part of this isn't computing the reflection color (that can be done with an environment cubemap and some math expressions), but sorting the transparency. This demo uses "depth peeling", which is a fancy term to just mean rendering the model in a few different frustum slices along the view direction, and using the previous framebuffer content to accumulate reflection.

The whole purpose of this trick is to abuse the rasterizer! I struggle to see how compute shaders would make this faster.
Because people still have some faith in videos. Deepfakes will remediate that very quickly.
> Why would you build exactly the same setup in AWS as for on-prem...

It was far better to invest a little up front, and maintain at $600 my operations than the same for $96K a month, that's why.

I never "lifted and shifted", I built and deployed, with physical servers, a 3-way duplicated environment that flew like a hot rod. At a fraction of cloud's expense.

Just to add to the giant pile of anecdotal stories here, Google has been on Gmail labeling all links to the 350,000 Neocities sites as "potentially malware" for a while now, despite the fact that we don't allow uploads of executable files so that's basically impossible. We've only had one valid malware report in our 7 years of operation (zip embedded in a gif file, which I now know how to detect so it's fixed).

There's nobody at Google to contact, so I have no idea how to fix it. I used to have a friend at google I could ask for special help from (this made me feel awful), but they no longer work there, so I guess I'm just screwed until they actually get some sort of official support channel, or somebody at the company that sees this message (hi!) fixes it somehow (thanks!).

> Possibly but it’s interesting that so many Obama voters went for Trump.

They hoped for change ("yes we can", "change we need"), but Obama failed to deliver as he was blocked by the Republican Senate for six years straight (thanks to "Moscow Mitch" McConnell). Trump and his "we will drain the swamp for real this time" message was exactly the right thing to offer to this voter group, especially as the Democrat candidate was Hillary Clinton - as "establishment" as one can be.

If there's one thing that Obama and the then-Democrat leadership abysmally failed, it is that they did not use the House+Senate+Presidency tripe majority to actually enact change in the first two years. I bloody hope that the Democrats can gain the Senate and especially that Biden will have learned his lesson!
Yes exactly, I like this proposal! "The essential idea is that our clocks should be set using sunrise as a benchmark instead of noon." Are you pursuing it, and did you get any valuable feedback?
