Clipboard Health | Product Team | Various Roles | Fully Remote | https://clipboardhealth.com/

At Clipboard Health we exist to lift as many people up the socioeconomic ladder as possible. The average nursing assistant without a college degree makes $36k a year; the average nursing assistant on Clipboard Health makes $53k a year and the top 5% make $74k a year. We dramatically improve lives, by letting healthcare professionals turn extra time & ambition into career growth. We have healthcare professionals texting us photos of a car they were finally able to buy, a school & church they’re building in their native Haiti with money they earn here, and more.

We’re a post Series B, extremely fast growing startup with classic two-sided network effects, and were recently featured in the YC Top Companies list (https://www.ycombinator.com/topcompanies/). We’ve grown 6x (across all key metrics) in the last 11 months and need your help to keep growing to serve more healthcare professionals, healthcare facilities, and patients.

We are a writing-heavy company and love to talk about why and how we do what we do, especially when it can help potential team members figure out if we are a good fit. To get a good idea of how our product team operates, start with our product team standards document here:

I’m not sure the California government ever acts in good faith in these matters and the public overwhelmingly is with me: see AB5.
Here they mainly incinerate it, and the goal is to make 25% recyclable by 2030 (which is for some definition of recyclable).

The reality is: reduce, reuse, recycle, where recycle is absolutely last resort and I actually consider it harmful as it releases some kind of valve from people, and they think everything is going to be alright.
It's always interesting to see people who think other people should be held to a higher standard, and seldom think they themselves should be held to those standards.

It reminds me of the protesters happy to destroy other people's property, but then signal outrage when their own property is destroyed.
I uploaded most of our Workspace setup here: https://github.com/jschaf/bazel-postgres-sketch. The tooling is a bunch of Go to manage the Postgres process. Basically, give it schema files and receive a running database with a tear down command.

We make temp instances of Postgres quickly by:

- avoiding Docker, especially on Mac

- keeping the data dir on tmpfs

- Disable initdb cleanup

- Disable fsync and other data integrity flags

- Use unlogged tables.

- Use sockets instead of TCP localhost.

For a test suite, it was 12x faster to call createdb with the same Postgres cluster for each test than than to create a whole new db cluster. The trick was to create a template database after loading the schema and use that for each createdb call.

I think the current policy of allowing them as long as there's a workaround is fine. What do you think is wrong with that?
I'm sure the FB's plan is to see everything you see, analyse faces and places and build a better personal profile of its users. These glasses will be connected to network and linked to your real identity, or there's nothing in it for FB.

Many of the concerns in this post the authors themselves admit are "maybe just FUD", and the few actually concerning issues that were raised appear to have already been fixed two years ago[1] which the post acknowledges but seems to have intentionally ignored, saying only "we do not think it is worth wasting more time".

I had a completely different interpretation to everyone else. I read it as the astrologer doubling down on his assertion despite the evidence staring him in the face. The guy can't have kids, so he should look after the ones he has! (Even though they prove that he CAN have kids)
> Alex Himel, VP of AR at Facebook Reality Labs, informed me over a Zoom chat that taping over the LED light was a violation of the terms of service of the glasses, which prohibit tampering with the device.

This is a good summary of the kind of deal buying a pair of these would be. Even putting a piece of tape on something you bought and supposedly own is a violation of some contract and may in theory render your device inoperable. It's not hard to imagine that the companion app, which is the only way to use the device, requires Facebook login and then you just end up with a few hundred dollars worth of regular old glasses.
This might be the first time I've seen hashtags in an HN post.
Late reply but -

I haven't really run into notable downsides. Installation was somewhat of a pain since I had to resize the partition (all of the prebuilt images assume small hardware), and all of the default packages are as minimal as possible - like busybox for userspace/shell. Upgrading on X86 is I guess possible (I haven't tried yet), but most of OpenWRT's upgrading instructions/support are geared towards reflashing firmware, not updating packages on ext4.

But, there are a bunch of available packages - coreutils, zsh/bash, etc., that can be installed as desired. In general OpenWRT is pretty set-it/forget-it for me.
can we stop using the euphemism "influencers"? There's several words in English to describe them.

Indeed. These will be just an evolution of the previous glasses cameras which have been around for ages.

Higher quality, and now with data collection.

All I really want is a nice HUD which pairs with my phone via bluetooth to show content, and a low-effort way of navigating. No camera needed.

I personally find this to be a rather poorly reasoned blog post.

Precisely this. Zerodium will sell your bug to the FBI, who will be happy to use it to incarcerate more Americans.

They'll also absolutely sell it to China, they'll just be quiet about it and use one of many Thailand-based intermediaries.
Surveillance cameras are entirely different, in the same way as people don't care about giving their data to a company but do care about giving someone else their phone, a persons camera pointing at them is much different to a surveillance camera.
It became clean at the end of Revolutions (when the green tint was removed), signifying the transition to the truce. So since the imagery in the Resurrections trailer is clear, that means it picks up where it ended and will move on from there.
Assuming that you displaced all the electrons in the same direction, you'd produce a 1 cm electron cloud on one side of your body, and 1 cm of electron-deficient matter on the other side.

If you could somehow maintain that configuration, you'd have a capacitor storing an enormous amount of energy, so it makes sense that the mass would increase.
I've worked for companies, where security issues weren't reported by power users because they themselves had to exploit those vulnerabilities to be able to do their job.

Now those issues are exposed to the internet to allow people to work from home, but the actual problem is still there.

Yep. I'm trilingual English/French/Bulgarian, and i have all three as languages in Google search, and they're mixed up too often. I can understand Google proposing the French spelling of an English word and results for it, but almost every time when i search something in Bulgarian i get results in Russian, even when i use words that don't exist in Russian. The languages aren't even that close, and they aren't the only Cyrillic ones...

I really appreciate that FB keeps trying to make hardware and products that don't need to be a data collection funnel. It's like they want to free themselves from the cursed golden goose that is data driven ads.

I really don't appreciate that every attempt by FB to free themselves of ads they end up with a product perfect for scooping up data so it either flops out of consumer fear and/or turns into a data collection funnel.

I want FB to be more than a heinous data trap. I don't think it's going to happen though.
I don't suppose these can be used without a FB account?
Twenty percent of a picture of a dog
Serious question. If Apple won’t treat you in an ethical manner then why go the ethical route? Why not just sell the sploit to the highest bidder? Seems like there’s a misplaced and unreciprocated sense of integrity on the part of many researchers.
Quick back-of-the-envelope calculation:

Approx. mass of Pacific Ocean[0]: m_ocean = 7.1×10²⁰kg
Specific heat of water: c = 4.2kJ/(kg · K)
Temperature of Pacific Ocean: T_1 ~ 293K
Temperature at which water starts boiling: T_2 ~373K

=> Energy needed to make Pacific Ocean boil:

E_heat = c m_ocean ΔT = c m_ocean (T_2 - T_1) ~ 3×10²⁶ J

On the other hand, the relativistic kinetic energy formula is:

E_kin = (γ-1) m c²,

where γ = 1/sqrt(1-v²/c²) = 1/sqrt(1-0.95²) and m is the space junk's mass.

Setting E_kin = E_heat therefore yields:

=> m = E_heat / [(γ-1)c²) = 3×10²⁶ J / (2.2×10¹⁶ m²/s²)] = 10¹⁰ kg

For comparison: The mass of all of humanity combined is somewhere between 10¹¹kg and 10¹²kg. Now those numbers do look somewhat comparable but:

- We haven't taken into account the space ships required to transport everyone

- E_heat was waste heat but since practically all energy will become waste heat at the end of the day, E_heat gives us a pretty good estimate of the total energy we will have (had) access to.

All in all 0.95·c doesn't seem feasible for moving humanity to Proxima Centauri, given E_heat. For moving 10¹⁰ kg of space junk, sure, though I'm not sure what you were planning to do with all that space junk in the first place?

The companies pushing them want to normalize having our every moment captured, logged and analyzed - on their platform.
Yes, because instead of just paying higher wages and letting individuals decide what they'd like to spend their money on, they have this PR stunt. Amazon gets some free marketing, another tax write off, and they can use this as evidence that workers don't need protection from their constant scheming. They can continue to exploit their workforce to the maximum extent of the law while they lobby to get more worker rights removed because their workers can potentially jump through a few dozen hoops and get a college degree. Amazon will absolutely use this empty posturing to try and cover up their dismal labor record.

"Why should our workers be allowed to take bathroom breaks or even think about forming a union? We gave them free college*!"

These prices seem quite reasonable for sourcing a good vintage ThinkPad model (and spec variant) and flashing with Libreboot successfully.

Since this seems to be occurring only on US territories I think it may actually be some US installed device from some defence contractor that is "malfunctioning". Maybe some device to find listening devices or a device to block eavesdropping? More expensive wifi setups can aggressive suppress "rouge" access points. A stingray is probably also not very healthy to be around as it has to overpower any cell tower near by.

How do you feel about people walking past you with their cell phones pressed to their ear? Surely that camera is also an issue.
What warehouse workers need is a union or some other structure that represents employees and can bargain on their behalf. Yes, there have been a lot of problems with unions, in the US, in the past, but that doesn't mean the need for worker representation has gone away.

It seems CipherTrace provides security/compliance/etc services similar to that of a traditional bank but for cryptocurrency? Will cryptocurrency effectively end up becoming just another currency/security traded and managed by giant companies rather than flourishing as the decentralized cowboy-esque financial system advocated for by crypto enthusiasts? Even those crypto users who choose to forego services offered by companies such as CipherTrace will still be effected by big companies attempting to regulate and control crypto in various ways, so I'm wondering what the sentiment is in the crypto community regarding this acquisition.
really nice language for sure
It has been a while since I have setup an iDevice from scratch. Isn't there a prompt during setup that asks the user whether to enable this iCloud backup? I believe you can even setup devices without entering an Apple ID at all. Wouldn't that make this scanning also a response to something the user does?
I just assume that any time any product is promoted, that the person is a potential shill. It may be a cynical view, but I find it a cleaner metric than trusting the poster to disclose whether they are getting compensated for mentioning a product.
I can tell you exactly why this happens in many companies, and it's two part.

1) These teams are usually sponsored and beholden to business instead of IT. Consequently, they care about business needs first, and good coding practices second. You can imagine how that goes, given limited project time.

2) These teams usually have poor relationships with the keepers of the IAM keys. This adversarial relationship generally takes the form of (a) IAM is asked to create an appropriate permission, (b) IAM doesn't think the way things are being done is correct and doesn't want to spend the time to correct them, (c) team just throws up their hands up and asks for a standard (overbroad) permission set.

In many places, it's easier to get an exception and admin permissions than it is to get something more specific created.

The left hand (business) saying "No one will solve this problem for us" and the right hand (IAM / security) saying "You shouldn't have to do this, so we're not going to help you" is the cause of most glaring security holes.
Educated or not, they're ignorant and irrational. That's enough for me to say they belong firmly in that category.
I would hate sitting across someone with them.
we need something like anonymized identity. Something that can prove you are human being, but without requiring your personal data.
Exactly, I cannot fathom why someone would accept a counter-offer, it just puts a huge target on your back. You get branded as not loyal or as a "money grubber". Every company I've left, I left for a reason that was always more than just money. Money might have played into it but in those cases it was "I don't want to work for a company that refuses to reward my effort even when pressed". When I choose to leave a job it's often because of cultural or fundamental ways a company operates that doesn't work for me, no counter offer is going to change that.
Ah. Well as others have pointed out, its likely that people will need to go to atms less often (since they can send directly with their app) and that amounts handled at atms would be substantially lower (because when using the lightning network, there aren't incentives to send one large payment vs a number of small payments). So if that's the worry, bitcoin would probably improve that situation as well.

In the same way that a business doesn’t exist if the business can’t do business, someone’s identity might be safe if the business never existed in the first place.

On the front of this, it seems odd for legislation to target a specific company or a few companies. But as power concentrates in the hands of a few conglomerates, policy will need to be tailored to addressing those conglomerates head on. While universal policy would be nice, it is both impractical to write and easy to avoid.

My personal experience is that it is impossible to tell whether I got more socially apprehensive or just more sensitive to it - now that I have experienced times under the effects of this drug where I was very pro social and fearless. The older I get I feel like I was super insecure and socially awkward my whole life but I didn’t know anything else so it felt normal. Now I feel depressed sometimes and have social anxiety, but sometimes I don’t.

I experienced a similar thing by going to therapy. I don’t necessarily get better overall, but more confident in handling the dark times.

The public would vote for indentured servitude if it kept their Amazon retail and Uber services cheap (and in California, they did, with Prop 22 [1]). That’s why it’s important to have checks and balances to prevent the tyranny of the majority [2]. The public voting themselves overly generous government benefits is no different than the public voting themselves consumer excess on the backs of gig workers.

Sure, unions have problems and labor rights are inconvenient for businesses. At the end of the day, people deserve dignity and a less miserable work experience than they getting today.
