Garnet | New York, NY | Remote (US) | https://garnet.app

Garnet is a platform that allows businesses and creators to host their online communities in one place, and keep them close. We provide venues with a versatile array of audio/video/chat rooms that adapt to the needs of the customer, however they communicate with their community; be it talks/webinars, informal user discussions, or even customer support, Garnet lets you do it all in one place.

We are fully venture funded and have a lot of interesting problems to work on. Almost all Garnet features are actually built on top of our plugins API, allowing customers to mix and match functionality to meet their usecase. This also presents interesting design challenges, where we will need to iterate on a design system that supports pluggable, composable components.

We'd love to bring on people in NYC who want to work in an office (when covid is over), but we are also interviewing remote. Also, the founders are both theatre kids and super fun to work with, come join us!

An NGO that can afford to pay “software engineer” salaries is probably not doing as much good in the world as they claim. There’s no money in meaningfully addressing the climate crisis — only in tinkering around the edges and pretending.

Figured I'd just throw my hat in the ring. I'd love to find a junior or associate level role in product. I like to think about big and new ideas, look at customer data, and think about new and cool product ideas. Data is one component of the journey but not the goal - you need a vision and to really understand the essence of the customer journey.

I'm highly opinionated and entrepreneurial-minded, but love to explore ideas with others and when the facts change my mind changes. :)

Favorite industries are finance/payments and real estate.

Thanks

3. Google should stop entering markets with free products, evaporating competition in the market, and then leaving it.

This is made more extreme as many of the "products they shutter because they are not profitable" were never profitable. Such that, at this point, any market they "enter" with a free product is viewed as a bad faith burning of it.

Tidepool | Backend Engineers | REMOTE | Full-time https://tidepool.org/jobs/backend-engineer/

Tidepool is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization on a mission to make diabetes data more accessible, actionable, and meaningful for people with diabetes, their care teams, and researchers.

We are looking for backend engineers to join our cloud platform team that powers all of Tidepool's products. We are proudly open-source, so you can get a taste of the tech stack and environment right here: https://github.com/tidepool-org/development - however, bear in mind our production environment is actually Kubernetes hosted on AWS.
That's a really neat quickstart! We actually allow to go outside of the Stripe integration and have an API to ping purchases here (https://doc.corrily.com/openapi/reference/operation/setSucce...)... But I wonder how to make it more user friendly. We did get a js SDK, but it wasn't very neat. Do you have any thought on what UX would make the most sense?

And we've failed doing that with software for longer, yet we still keep building software.
This was the one digital service I was happy to pay google for and caused me a 100% ban on their consumer services going forward.

Google music hadnt changed in a few years, so of course we need to get a promotion by destroying it and replacing it with something that might grow faster but definitely wont.
Teslas, despite their hype, are not some kind of revolutionary car. They use the same technology as every other car, though they improve things where they can, such as their motor efficiency. Standard car parts still need to be powered by low voltage, and it wouldn't make sense to make everything proprietary just for the tesla.
NASA is a government agency. It isn't in governments' interest to lower the cost to orbit since the space-capable large governments enjoy a monopoly on space when it is expensive. Once NASA opened up commercial resupply contracting, a door opened a crack for people and organizations without a similar monopoly interest and with ideas for cost reduction.
> I would be REALLY interested in learning how software orgs deal with these types of behemoths in their projects. I have yet to find someone who knows how to - methodically and repetitively - break these apart when they appear.

I ignore them until a big, big customer complains and threatens revenue, then I scream and scream until it gets fixed.
If you have the solar cells with your car, you don't need to charge the whole battery in one hour. You have to recharge during one day what you are using in your daily driving. Which is of course much less. In Germany a car drives less than 50 kilometers per day on average, so that is less than 10 kWh per day.
Any flooding of cities will take decades.

This gives plenty of time for people to build and/or move to new cities on higher ground.

I've been working remotely for 4 years, and there is still a need for whiteboarding, but most of us end up having a whiteboard in each office, and either point our cameras at it, or take a picture. It's way less collaborative, but most of the time it works fine.
The 12v system is to use standard 12v automotive electronics; every electric (and hybrid) car does this. A 12v SLA battery (these cars do tend to use sealed batteries / AGM with safety vent only) is the cheapest way to provide voltage regulation and power for accessories when the high voltage battery pack is "safed". (Generally, the "start" equivalent for both BEVs and hybrids is a process where the HV battery controller runs multiple safety tests on the high voltage system and then closes relays to connect the HV battery to the rest of the car. This bootstrap process is powered by the 12V SLA battery, since the HV battery is disconnected when "parked" - same reason that the lighting and horn need to run off the 12V battery.) Instead of an alternator, there's a DC-DC buck converter that recharges the SLA battery. SLA is a nice chemistry to use here because it's "self-managing" - you don't need a battery management system for the 12V battery.

Tesla has decided to not provide a 120v inverter from the factory. It's not the underlying tech, because other manufacturers do ship inverters and they're a straightforward thing to integrate (as the manufacturer) with the HV battery pack.

This is probably about (besides the normal Tesla-being-the-Apple-of-car-companies) battery pack degradation. Tesla currently warranties their battery packs based on mileage, and frequent use as a stationary power bank will put more cycles on the batteries.

There is precedent for this - ICE vehicle warranties can be voided for excessive stationary operation. Generally they don't bother for light duty, but medium and heavy duty trucks with PTO have maintenance requirements and warranty terms based on engine running hours as well as mileage.
This will definitely hit the schools that bought into Google the hardest.

The district that I grew up in is very tech-heavy– all middle school students get a Chromebook which is then upgraded to a Windows laptop for high school. Chromebooks naturally try to drive you towards storing everything in Google Drive (student devices, if I'm remembering correctly, are configured with about 16GB of storage, maybe less). That will drive up storage use.

Most assignments are delivered and submitted electronically. This uses up storage, especially since Google removed the free-ness aspect from Google Docs and its companion services.

The real "meat" comes from things like video projects, which were a yearly at minimum occurrence. These were usually stored in Google Drive and submitted via Classroom.

To clarify, I don't think it's wrong to charge for your services, especially at a paltry $5/student/yr for an additional 15GB/user. What I do think is wrong is pushing your product with manipulative tactics (making everything free) then suddenly flipping the switch and making everything cost money once everyone's bought in.

In Urdu the distinction is a little different and probably very seldom arises in the English sense (e.g. jaldi utho vs jaldi se utho when what is meant is like subah sawere (se) utho) so it's not your fault.

NYTimes Peru N-Word, Part Two: What Happened January 28?
So far the only exchanges where I found some opportunities are the ones that do have a public API, probably because there is less competition on those.

For example, I have yet to find a single profitable pair loop on Binance, despite parsing their WebSocket feed.

But on exchanges that implement anti-scripts, it is not uncommon to have pair loops with a ±1% profit after fees. The hassle is to implement trading with tools like Selenium to proceed with the trade.

Indeed, so it is critical to never upload any binaries to them that you do not have full permission to redistribute. Nowadays they are very open about the sharing, but in the past this was kind of hidden.
The liberal approach is to subsidize to maintain that base level, because of an awareness that the social outcomes tend to pay dividends in higher social unity, better health, etc.

Some people would rather pay for private security than for policy that makes muggings less likely, I suppose.
In year 37 you can't manually zap the 'PRAM' on Apple Silicon Macs.
But this was not magical: the code has to have a specific check coded in that verify that one thing added here is also added there... AKA a unit test?

Sure it's nice that the language itself has a built-in way to verify a complex invariant and not having to write a unit test.

But what it does illustrate is something I've meant to write a bout for a while: having this kind of convenience let you be lazy about design.

In some (C++) projects I've worked on, adding a new configuration item would automatically documents it because the class to create a configuration item requires you to provide a doc string argument. So it could be even less forgotten.
Fair. I don't think it would be much of an article though if they just denyed the claim on the battery though.
This is brilliant, I too feel like there’s an opportunity there but don’t have any idea off the top of my head how to implement such a thing.
I'm interested in some concrete examples of how we could make it worse. Do you mean we'll spend even more money? It seems that rebuilding the police force with demilitarization as one of the driving principles would make that outcome unlikely.

Unfortunately a low-signal article and announcement: No release date, no pricing, nothing in-depth.
Some armchair math:

Energy required to fully charge a Tesla: 50kwh [1]

Average electricity output from solar: 200w/meter squared [2]

50000/200 = 250 square meters of solar for 1 hour
250/8 = 31.5 square meters of solar for 8 hours (typical day)

Number of cars on the planet: 1.42 billion [3]

1.42b * 31.5 = 44.375 billion square meters of solar needed to recharge all the cars on the planet, if they were all charging at the same time.

Total cost for just the solar panels: $177 billion [4]

Not to mention the land purchase and infrastructure investment to carry that much extra electricity every day.

>Malthusianism itself is wrong

It's not about being right or wrong. It's about making good decisions. Malthusianism is a bad model. It takes two variables, population and resources and extrapolates. This is bad because the world is much more complicated. Making costly choices based on this bad mode is bad decision making

https://lockstep.ai | REMOTE | Full-time | web lead

When P&G ships to Walmart, P&G doesn't get paid for 3-6 months -- Lockstep bridges that gap so that companies can invest in the things that help them grow their business. Even more interesting is the fact that we tie a monetary incentive to sustainable supply chain practices (i.e. the greener the shipment, the better your interest rate)

Read: we're saving the planet by making the global supply chain a more more sustainable thing through $$$.

Our web stack is Ruby on Rails + react + graphql - data stack is python/pytorch. We get a shitload of data tracking every boat in the water (among other datasets).

We're looking for support taking our product to the next level on all fronts (engineering, data, sales, marketing, operations, etc)

Reach out to hello+hn@lockstep.ai if you want to help save the planet with us.
His destruction and genocide of Libya will not be a punishable offense.
Checking whether cookie banners are compliant should be mostly straightforward for regulatory bodies. In 90% of cases it’s clear if there’s opt in or not.

Why can’t regulatory bodies set up automated flows and tools to handle this at scale? Don’t need to catch every case but they should be able to massively scale the complaints process for this.
So that's an argument in favor of it then?
Yea, given how easy it was for the author of the post to find it, I would guess that literally nobody in the last decade bothered to run a profiler to see where they were spending time.

The only possible explanation is that management never made it a priority.

I could see this happening. A project/product manager thinking "We could spend $unknown hours looking for potential speedups, or we could spend $known hours implementing new features directly tied to revenue"

Which is kind of ironic since this fix would keep players playing for more time, increasing the chances that they spend more money.

> I'm also not sure why bonds would shield you from liability. You're still giving the company money to do these bad things, why does it matter if you have ownership?

Sorry, should have clarified "government bonds" here.

We are hypothetically talking about changing the rules, so we could change them to whatever.

I think the fundamental problems here are a lack of oversight, and also a lack of financial incentive to avoid defaulting in the very long term (as a "mortal" investor, at some point you are going to cash out).

Thinking about the 401k, you mention the S&P500 index, but there are thousands of indices. There could be an S&P500 "proper oversight" index, that filters the S&P500 by some oversight metric. If that gives you 200 stocks instead of 500, and that's too little diversification for you, there could also be an MSCI ACWI IMI "proper oversight" variant as well.

Creating an exemption for 401 and pension plans in general could be an option, but TBH many index funds are big investors in companies, and they do often have a say.
> unless they were forced to keep it running on obsolete hardware.

If you read blog posts and the like from people involved in those projects (MSN Messenger and AIM/ICQ, specifically); the companies would take advantage of protocol updates or other scheduled downtime to failover to newer hardware. So I doubt they were ever stuck on any “obsolete hardware”.
