SimplePay | Ruby on Rails Developers | UTC+0 to UTC+8 | REMOTE | USD42k-USD72k

SimplePay is a profitable, developer-owned bootstrapped online payroll software company, with solid annual growth. Our software lets 20,000 small business owners (and their accountants) run their South African, Ireland, Singapore and Hong Kong payrolls without headaches, so they can focus on the challenge of building their businesses.

Our development team was already mostly remote pre-pandemic.

To find out more about us, check our developer blog (https://tech.simplepay.cloud) or about page (https://www.simplepay.co.za/about)

Do you believe SPAs are overkill for most apps, but wouldn't mind digging into Vue.js for pages that will benefit from the increased interactivity? Do you laugh when people give up the power of SQL DBs in favour of data stores that don't offer any benefits for their use case? If so, you may fit in well with our mindset.

Experience: Due to our full pipeline, we can only hire developers who have a few years of Rails experience at this time, or highly experienced polyglots who at least know some Ruby. The work is mostly on the back-end, but some front-end skills are welcome.

Location: UTC+0 to UTC+8

What a fantastic question. I didn't expect so many truly great responses.

For many years I have had this humorous fantasy of having a bare room with little but natural rock walls and irregular rock paving flooring, a fireplace, and a ceiling consisting mostly of a huge sky light. with only a little desk for furniture as a place to work with no distraction. My contractor is now designing that room to put on the top of my house.

I can't recommend it because I have no idea if it will be the happy place I have always imagined, lol! But I think it will. :)

What I can say is imagining that kind of peaceful natural hermit-able place was one of my visualizations that helped me get into the zone many times in the past.

> You're right that if you capture 100% of land rent, the price of land effectively drops to zero.

I'm not sure that's not what happens regardless, except for the two things preventing it right now.

The first is the existing property tax. If increasing the size of the building on your property increases your property tax, you have to recover that in addition to the construction cost from rents or it isn't worth it.

The second is, of course, zoning. Even if it would be cost effective to build a 20 story building on your lot, you can't do it if it's prohibited by law. If you can't build upwards then you have to build outwards, which requires land, which transfers the scarcity of land into a scarcity of housing and prevents rents from falling to the construction cost.

And you need to fix that for LVT to do what you want it to do. Otherwise the artificial housing scarcity persists and the money just goes to the government instead of the landlord, and gives the government a direct rather than indirect incentive to maintain (or increase) housing scarcity through restrictive zoning.
I was being a bit facetious. I was criticizing what I view to be the shortcomings in contemporary science communication, and I would suggest that you can already see how it has resulted in contempt and mistrust directed towards our institutions.

We might be as far away from both. But our velocity approaching those goals could not be more different.
In the last 10 years we've made tremendous progress in terms of writing. GPT-3 is leaps and bounds better than GPT-2. I'm not convinced a GPT-7 couldn't be mostly responsible for a best seller.

> The hubris in this statement is absolutely stunning and, ironically, the perfect example of why we, as an extremely limited, ignorant, species of upright apes should not be exterminating other species because we think we have it all figured out.

How are we extremely limited and ignorant? As far as we know (and with zero counter-evidence), we are the most capable, most knowledgeable species in the entire universe. We reign supreme. In fact, the only logical reason we shouldn't exterminate other species for our benefit, is if doing so somehow harms us in some different and greater way.

The reality is that getting municipal broadband in the US is very challenging.

Even if you get the political good will early on, the fight that big players bring on is significant. One recent effort I was involved in was almost there after years of planning and having just completed a pilot build out, but got derailed by a commercial provider responding to an RFP for service by sending the municipality a non-response notice along the lines of "It's great that you're building out FTTH, but we plan on doing a full FTTH deployment of our own and it will be done within a year, just thought you'd like to know." This in itself was enough to kill any further funding, without any evidence that the company will actually follow through, because nobody has the appetite for the politics of holding the bag. They effectively got to the right people to kill the effort. Now the community is trying to see if that provider will buy a lease on what's been built so it's not a black eye in front of tax payers.

The best solution is not the one that established corporations want to see:

1. The municipality owns and deploys dark fiber using an open access FTTH model in an Active Ethernet design (e.g. every household or building has a dedicated strand, no GPON). The prevents people from being locked in to a specific speed, technology, or provider. If someone needs 100G the fiber will support it just fine.
2. The municipality maintains fiber concentration points and equipment huts or facilities for providers to co-locate equipment and service customers directly (allows choice and competition).
3. An anchor non-profit ISP (established as a 501(c)(3) and managed under a member-owned Credit Union model) is funded via a grant to provide day-1 service, but any commercial provider is free to make use of the fiber to service any location using a fair and published fiber strand fee that is presented to the customer as part of their bill (usually $10 a mo.)
4. The initial build-out is fully funded as a universal service (every property in the community, not just the high margin locations) through low-interest municipal bonds (10 year) and paid for using a modest property tax increase like any other municipal infrastructure effort. Fee collection covers ongoing maintenance and if adoption is good can cut the tax burden down by as much as half.

In other words we need to start thinking of dark fiber as a public utility the same way we think about water or electricity, but we also need to do it in a way where that utility doesn't get in the way of service delivery. The fiber is the road, and the delivery trucks that drive on it are the ISP.

Everything here is easy to do. The problem is you can almost never win the political fight to make any of it happen, at least not at the municipal level when going up against national corporations that bring in more money in one month than your annual budget.

There is no reason cost-driven for people to not have symmetrical gigabit as a baseline level of connectivity. Under the model described above, you can deliver gigabit service for about $50 a mo.

> Already this transformation has occured in other fields; the job of a professional translator (for text) at this point is mostly starting with a machine translation and slightly tweaking it in order to produce something more natural.

That certainly isn’t the case for Chinese-English translation. It’s faster to translate from scratch than to edit machine translated text if you know what your doing and have quality standards. One of my friends did German-English translation and machine translation just isn’t for purpose there either if you have any real quality standards. You can’t skip the part where you know what’s going on.

serious question: has humanity produced any net gains for the environment or any not-human-centric ecosystem?

To my knowledge the track record of things we've improved for humans will be much longer... so I'm not sure that's a great comparison to make here!
> What's the answer?

Taking a guess here that this is a US based comment? In Australia the postal service is a private company fully owned by the government. It's fairly well run by the private sector, consistently reliable and paying out annual profits to the Australian budget. It's not a burden at all on society, quite the opposite really, all that despite having strict service requirements to serve 99% of the population spread thinly across huge areas.

In almost the entire developed world, there is no death penalty anymore.
Probably not directly as it would have to be something that can survive or be expressed through the mouth parts of the mosquito. Malaria spreads from human to human through a mosquito because the parasite (known as plasmodium) that causes it is ingested from one human then reproduces outside the reach of the mosquitos immune system. If a benign organism evolves or could be developed to do the same, that organism could be genetically modified to create and/or express the intended antigens as exosomes. When it spreads to humans, these particles would be emitted and presumably detected by the human's immune system.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodium

>In the mosquito, the gametocytes move along with the blood meal to the mosquito's midgut. Here the gametocytes develop into male and female gametes which fertilize each other, forming a zygote. Zygotes then develop into a motile form called an ookinete, which penetrates the wall of the midgut. Upon traversing the midgut wall, the ookinete embeds into the gut's exterior membrane and develops into an oocyst. Oocysts divide many times to produce large numbers of small elongated sporozoites. These sporozoites migrate to the salivary glands of the mosquito where they can be injected into the blood of the next host the mosquito bites, repeating the cycle.

From: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5253278/

>In the context of immune responses against pathogens, exosomes also carries pathogen antigens and known to evoke immune responses. Mycobacterium bovis BCG-infected macrophages release EVs containing mycobacterial antigen that, in the presence of DCs, promote T-cell immunity in mice (10).

Regarding the topic at hand, I'm curious if mosquitoes play a role in innoculating their hosts with very small pathogen loads that are quickly killed off by the immunological response to the bite, but also foster antibody creation and help to spread immunity.
Uneducated guess; the revenue they get per person from tracking/profiling/ads is way above what people would consider be worth paying for the service (admin cost excluded).

And plenty of consumers would probably demand not to be profiled and have ads removed to even consider paying.
learning that free software clones of Mutable Instruments hardware exist

One of the lovely things about Mutable is that Émilie makes all of the hardware designs open-source (either GPL or MIT). Both software and hardware clones are widely available.

I would go even farther: I am highly skeptical of the paper’s analysis. The analysis seems to assume that the rate of death penalties is entirely predicted by a handful of time-invariant parameters plus the prior death penalty rate. Under such a model, if the parameters chosen do not adequately predict the rate, and the rate is roughly constant over time, then of course the prior rate predicts the rate. This seems tautological. The fact that a model of this type does not support the author’s theory of self-reinforcement — the model is equally consistent with the death penalties being predicted by the second letter of the name of the county or the “racial threat” mod 0.1 or just about anything else.

(I have not rigorously verified my objection, but I’m moderately confident I’m right.)

Yes, it's traditional with C# to indent every multi-line block. There are teams and individuals who opt for some exceptions (like switch/case), but none of them are universally adopted. I haven't seen a single example over the last two decades where namespaces aren't indented. The defaults go a long way.

+1 for AppBlock.

There are 3 kinds of apps you need to reduce phone addiction. Listing out examples in Android

1. Apps that Analyze usage - Your hour, Stay free etc. These apps also allow you to specify max number of duration you can use specific app/phone, but this seldom works. The analysis helps you in understanding your usage patterns

2. Apps that block specific apps at specific times in the day - like AppBlock. Based on your usage patterns and work hours, block the most used scrolling apps during your free time. Blocking 100% of the time does not work, allow 30-60min windows where scrolling apps are allowed.

3. Notification managers - like FilterBox - Use Android settings to block notifications for most scrolling apps. Even for essential apps like Gmail/Whatsapp, FilterBox gives you lot of control over when you want to allow/block notifications

"And SSL is pointless on said site if it's for instance a Let's Encrypt."

That isn't pointless SSL. Let's Encrypt isn't going to protect you from nation states, but cyber criminals aren't going to be invested or necessarily sophisticated enough to get Let's Encrypt's CA keys. Also, if you are worried someone will take over your Let's Encrypt automation and generate new certificates, they probably could use the same RCE to get at your private keys or directly sniff traffic from the compromised system.

If you qualified this statement with "if the business is large cap", everyone would agree but then again that's why BigCo uses traditional CAs or roll their own.
Thinking like that is what drove AOL and Yahoo! to their peak valuations. It's not that the companies didn't produce something of value and have some level of earnings, it's that their stocks priced in a fantasy land future that could never be achieved. At some point, there will not be someone willing to pay more, or even the same amount, for the stock.

When you are counting on the 'confidence' of future investors to (over)pay more than you did for something, rather than any rational valuation, you are quite literally counting on a greater fool[1] being willing to buy it from you.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory - note that it isn't always about an asset having no value, just that for an overpriced asset that there will be someone else willing to pay more for it.

Whenever I find myself sucked into the vortex of neverending scrolling I log out of that website and make is slightly difficult to get back in: I set up multi-factor authentication to increase the friction of logging back in (in addition to keeping the account safe) and prefer mobile websites to apps, as those also require more effort to open compared to one tap on your homescreen.

Basically Facebook admitting that they don't make money unless they track everything they can about who you are and what you do.

I see nothing wrong with giving people the choice to pay with $$ or data though. It's like Facebook is saying "don't force us to do this" but it's actually a great idea. Pay for it, turn it back into something social instead of news feeds and ads.
This is getting close to one of my biggest fears that go along with data collection driven revenue streams: the wealthy being able to pay for privacy and the rest having pay with their data, opening up opportunities for them to be manipulated.

If a rendition of this comes to fruition, I think it’s a very real possibility it could only widen the class gap. I know it’s not a foregone conclusion, but I really think it’s a possibility.
