FullStory | Backend, productivity, full-stack, and a lot more | Atlanta, GA / Remote US/CA

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 90 engineers today and looking to grow that by 60% 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/distributed systems - Build and improve our distributed infrastructure for receiving, analyzing, and indexing petabytes of data.
* Productivity - Supercharge engineering productivity across the product teams with better tooling and automation.
* Technical Program Management - Create systems, models, and processes that up the operational maturity of the Engineering team (and the company as a whole).
* Full Stack - Help expand our universe of integrations with other products and platforms.

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!

According to wikipedia, it does occasionally happen that a human egg cell undergoes parthenogenesis and starts developing, but as far as has been recorded, the fetus is never viable and is usually regarded as a type of tumor called a teratoma; occasionally, this does lead to some fetus-like shape of the tumor, in which case it is known as a fetiform teratoma.

Interestingly, there are a handful of cases of functioning human individuals who have cell lines in their body that are the result of parthenogenesis: an egg cell starts dividing by itself, and is fertilized only after this process has started. Next, the feritilized cell line develops normally, while the unfertilized cell line keeps developing as well but in limited ways - in the first known case, the white blood cells of a boy were found to be entirely derived from his mother, while other cell lines were normal XY cells inherited from both parents.

Warby Parker | iOS Engineers, Data Engineers, Frontend and Backend Software Engineers, and Site Reliability Engineers | New York, NY | Onsite (Hybrid) | https://www.warbyparker.com/

Warby Parker was founded with a mission: to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style. Since the day we launched in 2010, we’ve pioneered ideas, designed products, and developed technologies that help people see—from designer-quality prescription glasses (starting at $95) and contacts to eye exams and vision tests. Customers can meet us online, at more than 145 Warby Parker stores across the U.S. and Canada, or even in their home. Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. To date, we have worked alongside our nonprofit partners to distribute more than eight million glasses to people in need—and we're only just getting started.

Meticulous | Founding Engineer | London | Full-time | Visa sponsorship available | £100k - £145k, 2%+

Hey HN, I'm Gabriel, founder of Meticulous (YC S21). Our mission is to make the world's code safe, performant and reliable.

We're starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at https://www.meticulous.ai.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. We are a London-based YC company. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.

You can read more at https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/meticulous/jobs/AkHpFa...

If interested please feel free to reach me at gabe at meticulous dot ai, with a few lines on what interests you about Meticulous and mention HN in the subject line.

I worked part time at a McDonald's from ~1991-1995. At the beginning of that period, we immediately assembled Big Macs with freshly grilled patties, then let them sit in a warmer for <=10 minutes before throwing them out.

By the end of my tenure at McDonald's, we were cooking patties and storing them in steam warmers for up to 30 minutes before tossing them. The same patties were used for regular burgers and Big Macs. We'd create Big Macs as needed by demand, assembling them later.

I don't know the #s, but was told that this change was to reduce product waste.

Grilling equipment and process also changed over this time period, slightly reducing the number of staff needed to run the grill and reduce the likelihood of overcooked (and thus wasted) meat.

I imagine numerous other efficiencies/changes have been made over the decades that would influence the cost to make Big Macs.
> Isn't this indicative of a serious problem though?

Mostly, saying mean things doesn't rise to the level of legal interventions. There are plenty of IRL venues where people will say mean things (sports, comedy clubs, reproductive health clinics), and many venues where saying mean things will get you asked to stop or forced to leave.

If you say mean things on HN, you'll likely be asked to stop or forced to leave; but some sites don't make that part of their platform. Personally, I'm not going to participate in places where there's a lot of meanness, but that means I don't participate in a lot of popular sites.

> we have come to the point where what you actually say, you intentions, are completely irrelevant, it's all about how your message is perceived

The way this is typically framed is "impact matters more than intent". Like if you weren't watching where you were walking and accidentally stepped on someone's foot. You didn't _intend_ to harm them, but the overall _impact_ was that you did harm them.

As you rightly point out though, the elephant in the room is that impact in this context is not falsifiable. Unlike stepping on someone's foot where you could use instruments to measure how many capillaries were broken or if the bone is cracked, with words and feelings you can't actually empirically prove harm was done which is why I think enacting laws and policies that directly correlate with impact is a recipe for disaster...

IMO the best way to deal with impact has to be at the cultural level. "Hey, I find swear words offensive, can you stop?" "Oh sure, sorry about that, I won't swear around you". Bam, problem solved.

A society that transitions to: "Hey, I find swear words offensive, I'm going to report you to the psychological harm police" is one on the fast track to dystopia.
> You are responsible for making yourself happy, for asserting yourself, for setting any boundaries you choose. People on Twitter can just block, or mute, or turn off their DMs for people they don't follow.

This solution does not account for the following ways a troll can harass you:

* sockpuppets pinging you,

* sockpuppets impersonating you,

* sockpuppets mass reporting you, thereby suspending your accounts

* finding people you are friends/family with and sending them rape/death/bomb threats or doing the above,

* finding where you work and sending your workplace similar threats,

* putting up websites involving your legal name and face to make allegations you're a child predator/criminal optimized for search engines.

It is the same with a Solicitor but if they followed the correct process and the problem was actually with, say, the DVLA who issued a driving licence in the wrong name, I'm not sure who is liable for the error.

Technology works best when it gets out of your way so you can do the thing you require. Smart phones are the best example of this as they are small enough to fit in a pocket out of the way when not needed, and smart enough to deliver the data you need almost instantly. A TV is (usually) out of the way mounted on a wall, and you interact with it using a small handheld device. It is instant-on/off, requires no setup to use every day.

Smart glasses, VR headsets, etc are the exact opposite. No one likes putting a VR headset on, keeping the kit charged and dealing with all the cables. If a VR headset where a pair of glasses without cables then maybe...but we don't have the technology for that yet. Perhaps that's where Zuck will be putting all of his billions.

Once you're inside the "metaverse" and want to shop for new shoes (real) are you going to have to fly/walk to a virtual shop? With my smartphone I can do that in under 10 seconds.

> I'm suggesting that if I were in a public place and had a person shouting obscenities at me everywhere I went... it's illegal harassment, and the person can be identified and prosecuted.

What does "hiding" mean here? Not posting on twitter?

Is this a law that will regulate bad words and not content? People would have far fewer objections to a blacklist of words you can't use in public.

Is the problem with somebody following you around IRL shouting obscenities at you the content? Is somebody following you around all day shouting positive affirmations not objectionable?
As someone who has been in war, I think war should be reserved for very special circumstances and not driven by public opinion (positive or negative). The US does not have a framework for war that isn't somehow affected by popular opinion though. The current best-effort application is the Joint Chiefs, whom I used to trust when Mattis was involved. Whether the Joint Chiefs can continue to recruit stoics like Mattis is another matter entirely.

You should try telling this to those who get abused online. I think people who regularly get rape threats and racial abuse, many of whom are calling for such legislation ( recently there have been numerous cases with black footballers and also some with female journalists), have a slightly higher priority than people who just want to insult freely without fear of consequences. Considering people have committed suicide over online harassment, it's not as simple as "just block the baddies".
Burden is on you. If you think one can exist, go ahead and try offering it so we can evaluate it.

Why does a particular gender matter?
You completely misunderstood the intention of my posting. I feel no entitlement to use git. My posting was meant as a comment about practises in programming. Being a long-term developer, I know about all the temptations about funny names, insider jokes, sometimes inappropriate humor. And yes, they are can be fun. But at some point it might be a good idea not to expose all of this to the public. That it is a good idea to try to use appropriate terms for things. Makes it easier to understand.
Most Christians believe that that was not some biological process, but a true miracle where God himself bestowed this child on Mary. It would be technically correct that this was parthenogenesis, but it is a completely different... mechanism.

Most non-Christians, even if they believe Jesus was a true historical figure, do not believe that his mother was a virgin.
