Feedback Loop | REMOTE USA | Senior Full-stack Engineer, Engineering Manager | FULL-TIME | $130 - $200k | https://feedbackloop.com
Feedback Loop (feedbackloop.com) is a growth-stage company whose agile research platform provides rapid consumer feedback to inform and accelerate innovation initiatives. At Feedback Loop, we change the way companies develop products for their customers by providing a platform that lets researchers and non-researchers alike learn faster and innovate smarter. We work with some of the largest B2C companies across industries including finance, insurance, healthcare, and media.
We're looking for engineers who are curious about product development and consumer behavior, want to work on related challenges, and value opportunities to explore new technologies that execute against a robust, collaborative product vision. We use Typescript/NodeJS, Ruby, VueJS, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Kafka, GraphQL and many other technologies, but we don't think it matters if you've used similar technologies on a different stack. Our engineering teams tackle a diverse and evolving array of challenges; from architecting and scaling our microservices to handling real-time data streams with Kafka and using machine learning and natural language processing to empower real world business solutions. This position is full-time and remote (within the US), though remote engineers may be asked to visit our NYC headquarters occasionally when it is safe to do so.

Good legal documentation is an insurance policy. You never want to use it but it is vital when something happens and you have to refer to it.
Yes. Just got off the phone with your support this morning. It made the process so much faster and easier. Instead of spending 3 hours trying to fix it myself and reading countless search results, I got it fixed in 5 minutes. Never, ever would happen with Google or Yahoo.
Agreed. How many times have you seen the "accepted" answer on a Stackoverflow be suboptimal if not outright wrong, and a much better answer is lower down the page. For me it feels like 50% of the time or more.
I thought TPMs also prevent physical attacks by being configurable to require password for unlock and physical anti tamper features.
Just in case someone wants to know what a TPM is:

Trusted Platform Module, or TPM, is a unique hardware-based security solution that installs a cryptographic chip on the computer's motherboard, also known as a cryptoprocessor.

This chip protects sensitive data and wards off hacking attempts generated through a computer's hardware. Each TPM holds computer-generated keys for encryption, and most PC's nowadays come with TPM chips pre-soldered onto the motherboards.

Just have the internet be a bunch of data streams that people can start/pause/stop any time. It would be "real time" from the beginning, and then you can just build whatever around these streams.

It'd be like my brain broadcast just multi subscription stream, bunch of inputs and reacting to those events.

The author of the piece is Tim Alberta, who graduated from Brighton High School in Brighton, Michigan and then from Michigan State University.

He probably has at least some knowledge of the geography of the Midwest, including Michigan and Ohio. Indeed, he has almost surely cheered for Ohio State every time they played UMich.

If you like, think about it as “nearby relative to Afghanistan” rather than “nearby relative to Wisconsin.”

It's a good plan, I just wish the hardware were slightly nicer. Like, every smartphone on the planet has had scratch-proof glass for years and years, but the Switch's screen is this cheap plastic which is very easy to ruin.
> 80% CO2 doesn't seem very high

Are you a visitor from Venus? :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus

Joke aside, as other posters say the CO2 concentration is more like 0.04% and even an increase for that is considered a contributing factor in global warming.
What if you don't know what you want it to do yet?
Maybe you have a new API or library you're working with and the documentation is lacking.
Maybe you're exploring some dataset trying to figure out what kind of information can be gleaned from it.

Maybe it takes 3 minutes to get it into the state where it failed, so instead of starting over every change you just want to modify the one function over and over.

Doing it in a repl like jupyter has you run the actual code many times as you're writing it so ensure things don't break before you ever save the file. Of course thats not an excuse to skip tests, but if I was going to pick one, I would choose running the code as I write it, instead of testing it after the fact.

buy buy buy. Bullish! Opinion:

* RH will drag the industry to T+0 settlement, thus breaking wall street shenanigans with 100%+ short selling. Inevitable to see the merging of on-chain settlement with traditional stonks.

* RH has the largest amount of Dogecoin AUM globally (8.7B $USD equiv)

* RH has a lot of bitcoin, ether and other coins AUM.

* RH will eventually be the biggest broker in the US (world)?

* RH encourages dollar cost averaging and investing over time.

* RH has lots of first time investors (18-24), who over time will grow to be big investors

> Another option is to have some sort of escrow based service of verifying references

Companies still verify references?

I've never in my career been asked for references, nor would I be willing to provide them. Maybe I have some ex-FAANG privilege there, but references feel like an antiquated (and very gameable) model for verifying ability to perform job.
I like a lot of the stuff in these slides, but "adequate performance means you're fired" always seemed stupid to me. It's a contradiction. If your work needs to be better to keep your job, your work is by definition inadequate. You can't have stars in every position because stars are the people who stand out from the other people. It just doesn't make any sense outside of a motivational poster.

You could say instead "performance that would be perfectly adequate at most other companies is a firing offense here." That actually means something. I don't like that one, but at least it has a meaning.

Everything ELSE about this presentation is nice, but it's weird to write all that great information about how "mottos chiseled in stone in the front gate are useless" and then write "we only employ stars!"
Well, said bad press was in 2021 so any effects have yet to be seen.
Embedding really could help - there is really not much choice now for reasonably modern embedded engine.

Most of the website forks are AFAIK not very maintained, chromium/blink is hard to build and massive and Gecko basically has no embedding interface whatsoever.

So a reasonably complete modern web engine that is reasonably easy to compile and has a stable embedding API could be very welcome.
A difference between auto-completed code and stackoverflow answers is that the latter comes with explanations and comments, which help us understand the internals of offered answers.

Unions do much more than negotiating salaries. The whole software industry could benefit from:

- Setting quality standards. Ensuring people are properly trained and so on. E.g. Preventing Boeing from offshoring development of the MCAS to engineers paid $9 an hour.

- Setting ethical standards. E.g. Preventing car pollution "defeat device". Providing legal support for whistleblowers.

- Fighting ageism. It's provably widespread in SV.

- Fighting the no-poaching agreements. Many FAANGs were found to be colluding.

- Sighing exploitative immigration rules like the H1B "leash" that creates a class of underpaid workers.

> We'll switch from nimble meritocracy to a regulated and calcified follower

This is an absurd claim. Any human organization can be calcified or stay nimble. Unions are not different.

Windows 11 previews do not require a TPM module, but the final Windows 11 will. Quoting from https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/06/28/update-...:

> In support of the Windows 11 system requirements, we’ve set the bar for previewing in our Windows Insider Program to match the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, with the exception for TPM 2.0 and CPU family/model.
People want thin phones. A non-removable battery allows for thinness you simply cannot get otherwise.

And while you can argue about whether thin laptops are necessary, for people who carry their phones in their pants pockets, an extra couple millimeters gone is genuinely a meaningful difference.

There's no propaganda there.
Most of us are programmers here, you are just as used to hex.

Also technically we don't have that many fingers. We have one more finger. We don't have a number digit for ten right? They go zero to nine. But out fingers go zero to ten.

If our numeric base matched our fingers, we should've used base eleven. Not many people think this through :)

I think the real breakthrough is having "order of magnitude" in numbers. So indeed the Roman Numerals suck and probably wouldn't last regardless.
Whoever's flying that thing is very good. They seem to be using an ordinary Futaba R/C plane controller. The tiny aircraft pulls out of power dives and goes to straight and level at low altitude, screaming past the observers at over 450 MPH several times without any problems.

That little delta-winged thing with a German/Austrian jet engine has better performance than some reported UFOs. Here's the engine.[1] That's a 2017 model. Costs US$3,390.

CIDER ships with a perfectly adequate debugger if you want it. Might require a bit more manual labour than some environments but you’re never stuck just staring at a stack trace if that’s what’s bothering you.

I think using external dev dependencies and rich dev/user.clj files is pretty common on Clojure projects. Your REPL isn’t just somewhere to interact with the current codebase directly, it’s a framework for building that software and managing its environment more generally.
The US is unusual in that it runs power lines through the air more than most countries; but so does Japan, and electricity in Japan is much more reliable.

Robinhood's "values":

Safety First, Participation Is Power, Radical Customer Focus, and First-Principals Thinking

There's a real dissonance in the combination of Safety First and Participation Is Power points.

Where do we draw the line between providing the ability to participate and safety?

Many of the tools Robinhood has "democratized" for the masses are in fact quite financially dangerous to unsophisticated users. They've game-ified complex financial instruments; that doesn't exactly speak to safety.
The problem of discourses around the inevitability of some type success via hard work/talent, is the views it promotes against the ones deemed less successful or fortunate.

Each daily opportunity, for engaging with others, trying challenges and implementing entrepreneurial activities is
a chance to move every so slightly in the direction of success. If you accumulate enough of these, and in the positive direction, you will achieve you success target.

However, each of these activities, offers the chance for a negative outcome, ever so slight in the negative direction.
A random walk, just by the simple nature of life, can easily line up in front of you a series of negative outcomes that will push you too much into the opposite direction, or simply just to far from your intended target.

So you will run out of time, opportunities, capital, stamina, luck, space or creativity. In other words, and as somebody said: The multiple ways in which some are successful, are just one of many infinite ways in which other can be unsuccessful. You just have to encounter an
enough number of negative events.

For a better society successful parties should promote true
understanding of many reasons why one can be "successful".

"Life’s winners think success was earned even
if it was down to luck"

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2210263-lifes-winners-t...

"Bucca’s team explored the subject by creating a version of President
that involved almost no skill, and in which the influence of the starting
conditions could be dialled up or down. They recruited about 1000 people
through a website, Amazon Mechanical Turk, giving people $2.50 for taking part
and a $5.00 bonus if they won.

Whoever was randomly picked to play the first card in round one of the game
always had an advantage that meant they were most likely to win that round.
In some versions, this starting advantage was further boosted: after the cards
had been dealt for round two, the winner of round one was able to swap one or
two of their weakest cards with the strongest ones of their opponent.
In other versions, the opposite happened: the starting advantage was
weakened by the previous loser getting good cards from the winner."

"At the end of their game, people were asked if it had been fair.
Regardless of the conditions, winners were more likely to say yes than losers.
Even when the winners benefited from receiving either one or two strong cards
from their opponent, they were twice as likely to judge it a fair game as the losers.
What’s more, in most versions of the game winners were more likely than
losers to attribute success in the game to talent – even though the game required very little."

"It’s not just how the game is played, it’s whether you win or lose"

ah, ok, now Don't Be Evil makes more sense
Certainly puts that $70M SEC fine in perspective - that's not a trivial amount.
Too big for rust?
Unless they implement some kind of hardware check against removing it.

This was probably the most terrifying thing I have experienced in my life. I haven't been brave enough to do it twice, though I understand the potential benefits.

Useful Tools to Build a SaaS from No-Code to Analytics and Crypto Payments
Which leadership principle leads to inventory comingling and listing hijacks? Actually typing that makes it sound snarky, but it's a real question. These are real problems and I'm interested in the reason they aren't top priorities to end, despite all the trouble they've caused. I assume there's some value behind the decisions that are made, and I'm curious to know what that is.
Computer monitors are (typically) significantly more expensive than TVs (smart or not).
You seem to be right, I understood that to mean the elected when it's the opposite. Though considering how heated politics is becoming I would say the sentence was still correct :)
Thank you, thank you! I found some more results now with that term.

Appreciate the insight as well.
Will it be the PR or that people were actively trading while lockdown was on? Anecdotally, I know several people who were active on RH until they went back to work
Fed’s Reverse Repos Spike to $1T. Cash Drain Undoes 8 Months of QE
> Why though?

One reason being that then you have a strong financial incentive to "whistleblow" on things that are less clear-cut, making it likely that (a) you'll eventually harm innocent people in the process, and (b) you'll inject too much noise/unnecessary work into the system.

As a rough analogy, imagine someone calling to report an impaired driver they encountered by pure happenstance, vs. someone who made it their personal full-time career to just go around on roads finding people he can report. I'm not sure if you see a difference but I certainly do.
Would be great to see in Russia.
Technically it's open for Russians, but it's a common knowledge that 99% of requests get denied.
I wonder if it's the same for some of other countries where Atlas is "open"...
Completely agree, but none of those issues seem insurmountable.

High paying jobs are always in fashion and the demand for those jobs should increase because the public doesn't like seeing children dead in rubble.
"The problem is that both RPM and DNF, [a popular software package manager that installs, updates, and removes packages on RPM-based Linux distributions] do a check to see if the key is valid and genuine but not expired, but not for revocation."

This is what makes the recent Freenode takeover so sad - it was a more mature version of IRC that was hijacked by a gang of people with "old IRC" ideals.
The word 'troll' is quoted.

For mainstream news publications, headlines are generally designed to be technically neutral but still as attention-grabbing as possible. After all, every publication needs to get readers to click.

So this is just standard practice, the BBC isn't doing anything journalists with high standards consider to be wrong.
I just want to be able to put a new battery in things like my phone, and sonicare.
I completely agree with your comment. I am also a seller on Amazon. Every single decision about my brand have to be done in accordance to Amazon rules where I hardly make profit after trying to fight competitors will low pricing set by Amazon pricing rules, getting charged by Amazon on management fees, self ship on some products and moreover customer system exploitation. There has been several cases customers have returned wrong product and Amazon didn't do anything to look into it. Now some ask me why I use Amazon still then. My answer is to keep money rolling, advertise my brand and generate customer who can be targeted.
1st amendment is to prevent the government to punish you (for example jailing) for speaking about something the government doesn't want as well as forcing to say something you don't agree with (for example look at Navalny in Russia or Protasevich in Belarus).

Since corporations are also people as SCOTUS ruled they have similar protections.

Asking them to host content they otherwise don't approve might be like I would require you to say great things about Biden when you're a Trump supporter. It would suppress your freedom of speech, don't you think? It's like Russia requiring to say great things about Putin and Belarus about Lukashenko.
