FullStory | Platform, SRE, Productivity, Mobile, and Full-Stack | Remote and Onsite | Atlanta, GA

FullStory’s mission is to improve user experiences on the web and mobile devices. We’re accomplishing this mission daily by providing a platform that allows developers and product teams to automatically collect ultra high definition analytics from their sites and applications, then make those analytics available through a powerful search engine, pixel-perfect session playback, and machine learning insights.

We're around 70 engineers today and looking to grow that by 50% in the coming year. We run in GCP on kubernetes; golang on the backend and typescript in the frontend. Here's a few opportunities to get involved:

* Backend - Build systems at scale that make FullStory’s magic work.
* Full Stack - Help expand our universe of integrations with other products and platforms.
* iOS Agent - You create iOS apps “for fun” and don’t shy away from debugging problems into the source frameworks.
+ Mobile Engineering (Director) - Work with a talented team of senior mobile systems engineers to provide a magical in-app recording analytics library that runs at a massive scale on many well-known brands.
* Productivity - Supercharge engineering productivity across the product teams with better tooling and automation.
* SRE - Provide the underlying infrastructure that allows us to create, deploy, scale, and manage our products efficiently.

FullStory is a 60%+ remote, hyper-growth SaaS company originally based out of Atlanta. The work environment we've cultivated is aligned around our three watchwords: clarity, empathy, and bionics. We value high-quality/low-ego collaboration and use automation to eliminate toil in daily work. If that sounds good to you, join us!

It's less doing it at "scale" and more doing it as a monopoly/monopsony.

Walmart has faced similar questions as well, but as much of a monopoly/monopsony as Walmart is, it's far less than what Amazon is. Moreso in non US advanced countries that actually enforce the anti trust regulations in their laws.
But only a strict subset of problems are heavily data oriented. For your 3 button GUI app whether you use a tightly packed AoS, even SoA doesn’t matter over a slow linked list of pointers for that 3 element list implementation doesn’t matter.

> The comment you replied to answered your question.

It really didn't, instead it weaseled out by putting up a strawman that pretends to put a loophole in a straight-forward and very clear way.

In fact, it's blatantly clear by itself the fact that no one proposed a single idea or suggestion about how to enforce that mysterious 10%. No explanation was given on the impact on customers, and how the sellers would be forced to not go beyond that 10%. Why is that? Is the idea undefendable?
Well it's true that bringing row(s) of data from database to python and then serializing it for any reason as has extra overhead.

But in Django's case, the same arguments can be made as for Pandas. Django is a big complex framework and an application using it might consume more memory due to countless number of other reasons. There are also best practices to use Django ORM.

But to say if a given Django instance consumes more memory it is only because of "Copy-Object-Copy effect"... I don't think so.
A fork would still be bitcoin if that's what was voted on, no? Or is that just a soft fork? Anything could change if it gained consensus, right?

What chrome sold was speed. Most of their ads were all about how fast websites would open. And tabs was cherry on top. I know that’s what made me jump from IE. I remember I have a Sony vaio desktop then and IE would weigh it down to a crawl, then I install chrome and that just made me swear to never use IE again.

Entities revealing previously unknown information is actually a very, very common experience under psychedelics.

Now, whether such revelations would have satisfied the Skeptical Inquirer crowd is another question.

It would be interesting if that crowd actually did some serious studies of psychedelic revelations, and doubly interesting if they themselves took strong doses psychedelics as part of the study, as psychedelics have a habit of making true believers even out of skeptics, and I suspect many of these skeptics would be a lot less skeptical after taking them... though that'll probably never happen on a large scale as many of them are really not as open-minded as they like to pretend, or are afraid of either losing their "objectivity" or their mind (not completely unfounded fears).
This definitely reads as someone with low/no experience with psychedelics trying to derive some meaning from them. I was exactly the same way when I was younger, trying to analyze my trips, reading about others, upping the dosage, attempting to find the meaning of life or god or whatever.

Psychedelic experiences are just experiences, they can exist unanalyzed. At best you might have some self-realizations, but there is no god/collective-consciousness whatever waiting at the end of the road.
It's not favorites, it's bringing in net new revenue vs existing revenue.

Much easier to give a discount to get something you don't have, then to give a discount to your existing base. Ask your revenue teams in whatever company you're at. No different for state taxes.

This actually looks like a pretty good deal for NC, unlike when Amazon went about it in a distinctly Amazon way and pissed everyone off.
Clarity on Rails' Governance
I think the most important point if you want an intuitive explanation is that the observer who is in the same place at the beginning as at the end has aged more.

If you were to ask which of the twins is older at the time the second twin reaches the far away star, the answer is that the question doesn't make sense. They are in different places, so there is no way to compute a fixed time.

Imagine each twin is broadcasting a video signal of their face for the entire duration of the trip. The twin on earth puts a big red dot on the screen the moment that the traveling twin had reached the distant star in their frame of reference; while the twin on the ship would start putting a big red dot on their video the moment they reach the star in their own. Because the speed of light is limited, over the whole duration of the departure trip, for both twins, the latest image they see of their sibling will be younger than themselves.

When the twin on the ship reaches the star and starts emitting the red dot, they will have aged L/gamma * v years. By the time the twin on Earth sees this image, they will have aged L/v + L/c years = L(c+v)/c*v years, so they are [L(c+v)/c*v] / (L/gamma * v) = gamma(c+v)/c years older.

The twin on Earth will start emitting the red dot after L/v earth years, or L/gamma*v ship years. This signal will meet the ship after L/(gamma*(c - v)) ship years from the moment it was sent - so in total, L/gamma*v + L/gamma*(c-v) = L*c/gamma*v*(c-v) ship years. So, they are [L*c/gamma*v*(c-v)] / (L/gamma*v) = c/(c-v) ship years older than their sibling, which is gamma*c/(c-v) earth years.

While both see that they are older than their sibling at the time they first see their sibling's red dot, there is an asymmetry coming from the fact that one of them is at the same position as they were initially, while the other one is at a different position, relative to the star. Equivalently, there is an asymmetry that is caused by their different definitions of "the moment the ship reaches the star".
Yep, I'm still new to serde and the Deserialize workflow :)

I come from highly dynamic languages, and even when I was doing C/C++ 10 years ago, I would do more at runtime that what could be considered "best practice".
Don't you have compulsory labeling for price per kilogram (or the US equivalent)? Of course the effect is still there, but that's the price that generally matters.

As far as PE goes, Apollo doesn’t seem the worst. They are primarily in funding pensions. That may mean low investment in new products from AOL and Yahoo, but they’re not going to go and part out either company.
It’s less about un-learning and more about the entire market changing, compromised by seemingly-endless VC money that rewards growth and “engagement” more than actual profits derived from value delivered to users.

Nowadays a large chunk of online services’ objective is more to “engage” you and sign you up to some bullshit newsletter or sales call rather than actually provide you a service that you’d be happy to pay for. Marketing has become the primary objective, with “deliver value to the user” a neglected side-effect.

As the other @garmaine mentions, the currency conversion is at mid-market rates, no fees. I've compared the rates to Wise and other options and it's far less cost, and certainly less cost than the median tx fee of BTC by itself, let alone slippage or fiat conversions or exchange fees. Anyone who thinks BTC has any advantage as a medium of exchange I'm convinced has never actually used it/compared it to existing options.
Sigh. Remember when Google Finance was great with easily the best charting software and easy lookup of key stats for a company? Then they decided a couple years ago to destroy it for no reason. I wish I knew why they made this horrible decision.

> Apple is promising $1 billion in investment across the state

$1 billion according to whom? It sounds like it is according to Apple. Maybe that is an accurate number, but Apple is certainly incentivized to make it seem larger than it is. There are all sorts of ways to artificially inflate that number and some are as simple as adjusting the multiplier beyond what it would be in the real world. You see the same thing happen whenever public money goes to fund a new sports stadium. The company receiving the money puts out a fancy study that shows a huge economic benefit to the city/region and it almost never materializes like the study says. There needs to be an independent (of both Apple and the people in government who agreed to this) study before I am willing to accept that $1b as truth.
I totally get what you're saying because most of my datasets also used to be smaller than my laptop's memory.

Used to.

I'm in the process of moving more and more processing "upstream" from local pandas to the DBMS and it's already proving to be a bit of a superpower. I regret not learning it earlier, but the second-best time is now.
Hmmm, interesting. I don't mind the information density, coming from R which is even more terse, but the API itself is just not that well thought out (which is fair enough, he was learning as he went).

Yeah but if the country votes on the national level to not allow corporations to play states off against each other, that is also democracy.

Edit:

I cannot reply since my original post generated too much controversy. I do not believe I am engaging in flame war behaviors of course.

But: to answer your question, first off, democracy is the process by which groups of people make decisions together that they all abide by. In any situation involving more than one person sometimes it won’t work to have every individual do their own thing; sometimes people have to coordinate. If they need to coordinate, but don’t want to be simply ruled by a despot, then they use democracy. Democracy is especially needed when some group of people is facing an organized enemy. Trying to fight an organized enemy as an uncoordinated mass is foolhardy.

Your more specific question is: should there be any sort of international cooperation to prevent transnational corporations from playing countries off against each other?

Yes! obviously. It would take treaties, negotiations, and so forth, but yes, we should absolutely do something about that.
How in the world can someone "prefer their current provider" without something to compare against?

Maybe they've had bad experiences dealing with other municipal services from their city.
Or maybe they just think the act of switching will be a pain in the butt.
I can imagine many of the answers boil down to "yes, give me anything but X" or "it's good enough please don't break it"
Maybe some of these could be shared at http://www.bashoneliners.com :-)
No, sorry, not making any assumptions. I'm using "consider" as "take a look and see if it's worth it". I agree it's useless without giving consumers actual numbers to look at.
I have the 1Gb municipal broadband here in Chattanooga. The customer service is fantastic—night and day compared to what I had with Comcast when I was in Atlanta.

I haven’t had any outages in the year or so I’ve been here. Latency and packet loss are better than what I had with Comcast on average. There are no caps either.

I pay the same price here that I paid for 50mbps Comcast business class (business to avoid the data caps).

Docker compose is still really good for the use case that you want to lump a bunch of services together and go. It's great for local development and it's just fine for deploying a set of services to a single host.

The "issues" with compose are 1) it doesn't make Docker any money, thus doesn't see much in the way of enhancements, and 2) it doesn't even try to do the enterprisey things that Kubernetes does.

Also, you can drop podman-compose in and run most docker-compose files with no or minimal modifications, so it's not like docker-compose itself is even unique.
Israel has 60% vaccinated and they have controlled the pandemic through that. The US probably has more natural immunity than them so overall I’d say we are in a decent position. The issue will be localized outbreaks in places with less vaccine coverage.

Yes. I've never participated in an ayahuasca ceremony outside of the US, and I was very intimately in touch with Pachamama.
