Sourcetable | SEO Operations | Remote | (Pacific Time)

Sourcetable is a networked spreadsheet that makes it easy for teams to centralize and model data, without the need for developers to setup or maintain the system. Think: data warehouse + ETL + spreadsheet + NoCode SQL GUI. Users like Sourcetable as a lightweight Business Intelligence tool and for automating reports.

I'm long-term looking for an experienced SEO Operations person to partner with me, Founder, to take a playbook and run with it.

Skills and experience needed for the role include:

- Excellent at spreadsheets

- Decent at SQL

- Ok at frontend coding

- You have built (from zero) and scaled operational processes, and can provide examples.

- Strong writer and editor of technical content.

- Have experience hiring, managing and editing contractor teams.

- Some SEO experience

Life skills:

- Good sense of humor helps, but not required.

- Experience at a startup strongly preferred. Ex-founders and generalist startup employees welcome.

- Fluent English skills. International candidates must have superb English skills (written and verbal), comparable to a native English speaker.

Why should you want to work at Sourcetable?

- Because you are ambitious.

- Equity forward

- High degree of agency and ownership over your work.

Why should you want to work with me?

- I've scaled startups from pre-revenue through Series-B

- I've built/led SEO teams at a category-leading consumer company (ranked #1st across all relevant search terms).

- Good learning opportunity: what you don't know, I'm happy to teach you.

If this role sounds interesting, send me an email: eoin@sourcetable.com
I'm one who will be affected by this.

I have no problem paying for a service I have enjoyed and appreciate, but I do wish there was either an option to migrate from custom domain to a Gmail email address or alternative billing.

The use case I have is for email hosting for family and friends. I would like to see something besides per user. Either a storage / transaction billing or a subset of the GSuite services.
I have a car with adaptive cruise control and speed limit detection, and this would absolutely drive me nuts. Not for any philosophical reasons, but because speed limit detection is fallible. On the expressway my apartment is a block away from, which has a speed limit of 50 mph, my car fairly frequently tells me the speed limit is actually 30. It's fairly common for it to read speed limit signs that have conditions on them -- only in effect certain hours, or during school hours, or when light is flashing, or if you're driving a truck -- and incorrectly assume that's the speed limit.

Maybe you'd be perfectly happy with "if you don't want the cruise control to make mistakes, just never use it, because gosh darn it, that's better than allowing people to set the adaptive cruise control five miles an hour over the speed limit like they've been able to do with non-adaptive cruise control since it was a thing." I would not, and I would argue I am not the one taking an unreasonable stance.

OWL inference is theoretically nice but has practically failed to work out in the real world - it may be "highly scalable" on paper but that's still not scalable enough. The Semantic Web has been successful to the extent that its main vocabularies have been treated as "straitjackets" to follow quite closely, and the main linked data providers are now acting as de-facto "hubs" in the ecosystem.

>Perón was close personal friends with Mussolini and Hitler

So was FDR. In fact, FDR openly modeled his economic reforms on fascist Italy also. Today he is still held up as one of the most famous left-wing American politicans. Absolutely no one claims he was right wing.

Again, this is just more of the same. Before WWII, "National Socialism" was the future of the world and supported by leftists everywhere. The Nazis worked closely with both the Soviets and the Chinese. For the first 2 years of WWII, the Soviets and the Nazis were on the same side taking on the whole of Europe together. After the war it "wasn't real socialism."

>. When Perón returned to Argentina, there were left-wing and right-wing factions of the Peronist Party

Killing each other is what left wingers are famous for. In Soviet Russia the Trotskyites accused the Stalinists of being right wing and they both spent a lot of effort trying to kill each other. This doesn't mean that Stalin was actually right wing, it just means that this is how the left talks - all hyperbole, no reality.

Copia Automation | Software Engineering roles | Full-time | Remote | www.copia.io

Our mission is to create a complete and modern devops solution for PLC programming and rethink how work is done. Our team is well positioned to accomplish this because we’re not dictated by how things have always been done. We have a fresh perspective with the ability to understand bottlenecks of existing workflows.

Our vision is to create a reimagined, unified workflow for industrial automation within a single application. To do this, we must create a CI/CD pipeline for industrial automation (PLC Programming and more) consisting of source control, monitoring/alerting, automated testing, and remote deployment. After that, we open up the possibility of solving deeper issues in manufacturing.

We are currently hiring for the following roles:

Head of Engineering
Senior Software Engineer, Full-Stack
Software Engineer, Full-Stack

Please reach out to jimmy@copia.io if you're interested, or have any questions. You can also apply directly here: https://www.copia.io/careers.
This is why I like cabs. Customers should not have a rating.
You are aware that flights can take longer due to weather, delays with landing, and other events that can cause a flight to last longer than the scheduled duration?

Also, a "turnaround flight" is an industry term meaning that the crew (pilots and attendants) are assigned for the outbound and return flights, and remain on the aircraft. So the 10 hour one way flight (assuming the pilot meant Doha to Tokyo) means at least 20 hours of flight time, plus the time spent in the plane at the origin and destination airports.
My access points are inaccessible to the public. You would have to trespass deep into my property. No one has any business knowing anything about my network or devices here.

Could you be a bit more clear about your implication here?

Do you think the EU energy crisis is because of renewables somehow? If so, how did you come to that conclusion, and in what way?

Renewables don't generate any energy when they aren't connected to the grid. And natural gas shortages for heating don't really get solved by renewables unless people start installing lots of heat pumps, which they definitely should.

How many users are getting 1-1 instruction on containers? If it's a small number, and I think it must be, then my point stands.

Also, can I ask more about the context in which you have demonstrated containers? Like, why would you do that? Was this to friends or family or...?

A password should not be "something you know" anyway. If you use a password manager (and you should, because there is no way to store 200+ passwords in your head), then it is "something you have" in your password manager, ideally protected with a single master password that you do know.

From what I've heard, sample libraries of acoustic instruments are a system of presets and directed constraints (inability to replicate complex dynamics, articulation, and pitch bends). I haven't tried physical modeling, and don't know if it manages to escape this issue, or ends up too complex to learn/perform or stuck in an uncanny valley. (This is from the perspective of orchestral-inspired sound design rather than more synthetic compositions.)
Seems like it would be a lot less dramatic to just trigger a head on collison on the highway which you could do today if you broke into the tesla fsd system.
I did my masters in astrophysics, specialised from being a general physicist for my bachelors.

I was reading the piece, waiting for the punchline of what kind of unholy beast of a workstation she was using, and wasn’t disappointed.

Thing is, physicists, heck, scientists in general, are not programmers. Fortran 77 and python are pretty much the only shows in town - and your usual data crunching script will be huge, procedural, in log time, and will eat mountains of memory while making disks thrash as hard as humanly possible.

For instance, I helped out a postdoc who I shared a lab with with his ephemeris calculator - it’d take in a series of fits images, and it’d tell you the ephemeris of whatever object you chose - by editing the source, and putting in the x/y of the object in the first frame.

Thing was, it took all night to do this for a single object from half a dozen frames. Most of the time was spent opening and closing each file to read each pixel, and then stuffing those pixels into a gigantic array, and writing that array to text files, and then re-reading those files, and then doing matrix multiplication and all sorts of amazingly baroque stuff that must have seemed like a good idea at the time. He was running it on a monster (for the time) of a workstation, with 64GB of ram and several TB of storage.

I banged together an app in C++ for him with a basic tcl/tk gui, and what had taken him a day of setup and a night of processing and an ungodly machine instead took about as long as it took for him to click on an object and click “go” - on my creaking laptop with 128mb of ram and a 1.4gb hard drive.

This was far from singular - after this, I found myself being “the guy” to talk to about your slow scripts - and that was basically every script in the department.

So no, not better, considerably worse, and I can’t help but think that having a more cross-disciplinary approach to science (embed tech people!) would yield benefits across the board.
I wouldn't read too much into firings at Cruise. Working there was like a company-sized game of "The Weakest Link". Anyone worth their salt gets fired eventually, it's just the way they operate.
Humans don’t regress per-pixel depth or use convolutions and region proposals to draw bounding boxes around objects. They don’t function on models with fixed weights trained by backprop either. The idea that “vision only” somehow more closely resembles how humans drive quickly falls apart if you inspect the internals of these systems.
Crazy Egg | Sr. Elixir Engineer | crazyegg.com | FULL-TIME; REMOTE
We provide visual website analysis and process billions of visits every day. We have the stability of an established company (self-funded and profitable since 2005), the independence to operate in the manner we feel is best (never had an office in 15 years), and are still small enough to have the excitement of a startup. We believe in long-term relationships with our team members (original engineers and designer still here!) which is why we share in our revenue growth, provide a self-education fund, and do regular 1:1s with a focus on personal development.

I don't know how many others think like I do, but I'd never use GCP. No one will ever convince me that it'll be around in 5 years. I just don't trust them to keep anything they made in the past decade or so going long term. Call me paranoid, call me whatever you want, but I just do not trust their ability to focus on anything anymore.
> That isn't really incentivized in this case.

Some smaller credit unions or local banks are less rigorous it seems and that incentivizes whoever wants to steal the money to go there with a fake ID, bills, etc.

> What prefix though?

F. Still a nice chunk of money for someone to steal. I guess, what I was surprised about was how different the rules were. Some quite strict, at large institutions, some pretty lax.

> How did you check out in terms of signup (long history as resident? local connections?)?

Called around and visited a few banks in the area. Not sure if / how they checked the history as a resident? There was no prior relationship with that particular credit union. As you say, perhaps behind the scene they did a rather thorough background check, but it just didn't feel that way at all based on the context.
I don't think users understand the idea. Partly what I wanted with my long post is for someone to say, "Hey, you don't need to understand that to get account containers!", but so far, nothing. I love users, but I'm under no illusions about the extent of their knowledge.
They also have Lidar cars in Fremont that drive around every so often, that doesn't mean they plan to go into every car anytime soon. It'd be short-sighted to not continuously evaluate solutions that previously had constraints (despite what Elon says, they'd add Lidar if it made economic sense and it showed an improvement over camera-only, as their camera detection is pretty accurate these days in FSD).
If you could, you wouldn't need Rust in the first place.

The Chinese currency used to be and might still be pegged to the US dollar so why shouldnt I invest in the Chinese govt debt instead?

I do know some parts of the US govt has complained about the pegging because it made US workers more expensive than Chinese workers.

And the I remember the £ in the 90's crashing out of the Exchange Rate Mechanism when it was pegged to the German DM as Germany had(still has) a strong economy which sent interest rates soaring to something like 12 or 15%!!!

So pegging currency to others must be more nuanced than that it seems.
Do Cruise driverless cars roll their stops when safe to do so?
This isn't an honest test. Think through the reality and then mimic that - but the reality isn't a child standing still in the middle of the road in the middle of the night.

Also, Tesla requires you pay attention still - which is relying on it, but they tell you NOT to rely on it 100%, so in this demo the driver is at fault for not watching ahead of them and breaking. So your claim that they're awful at stopping is pretty disconnected.
> Note that "cars are getting less reliable" is a gut feeling that many people have, but largely isn't backed by real metrics.

Yup. Just like my friends 2010 VW which went into limp home mode after he drove through a puddle a year after he bought it. Dealer had to replace some doodad to the tune of $500 for the part. He then bought a Mercedes in 2013 that started to kill the battery after a month because the park lamps refused to turn off. Mercedes could not figure out the issue even after swapping so they removed the park lamps. All caused by fragile electronics. Meanwhile I plowed the 2002 chevy van through a deep puddle once (being young and dumb) and it coughed, sputtered but kept going until it dried off and then resumed purring.

> Do you think cars require more or less upkeep and maintenance than 20 years ago?

Since I do my own upkeep including engine and tranny swaps (project vehicles), the upkeep is pretty much the same. Check/change oil, and check/top off fluids 4 times year. Then brakes and tires. Worst case check plugs and so on after 50k but those show up as misfires that are easy to feel. All the vehicles I have experience with are 1995 and newer with some 1980's trucks and vans thrown in.

You also have to account for a lot of wear and tear that came from fuel changes. When lead was eliminated the leaded cars suffered from premature ring and piston failure. And when we phased out MTBE we also suffered as alcohol was attacking metal and rubber components with oxidation causing failures. So these changes might make older cars seem less reliable but the fact is we forced them to be that way (for the better).

Notes on CI/CD
The scenario you described already happens in San Francisco and the Bay Area on a regular basis to regular human drivers. There are plenty of videos of peoples' back window being smashed while they're sitting in traffic and their expensive goods are taken. The solution to this is not having human drivers, it's cracking down on property crime and treating it as equally as important to violent crime.

I worked at a company that went through a private equity acquisition and I have a question you might be able to answer.

If you exclude layoffs and incentivized retirement, it seemed to be that a greater percentage of individual contributors left as compared to managers. Lots of managers stuck around for 12+ months, and it seemed like the percentage of managers of managers (e.g. directors, VPs) who stuck around was even greater. Almost the entire C-suite stayed for years after the acquision.

Was there any financial or other incentives given to managers to stay? As an individual contributor, the morale was just terrible. I just couldn't understand why the managers and other people in leadership positions stuck around.
None of the things you mentioned are reasonable default behaviours, and are easy one liners. You don't need a library for any of that.

Note Israeli PM Bennet is currently facing a lot of media and public attention to large price hikes of different consumer goods, electricity and gasoline. Just saying.

(PS - Also, scrutiny about Israeli soldiers having bound and gagged an 80-yro Palestinian man, leaving him on the floor in some abandoned building after having stopped him in an illegal roadblock, with him eventually dying. Israelis wouldn't need a distraction from that kind of stuff happening, though; we/they are already trained to filter that out.)
Well, electronic music in the broad sense is at least thirty-five years older than Sleng Teng. I doubt, say, Schaeffer and Xennakis were very clued in to what was happening in Jamaica.

But it's absolute true that you reggae and dub had a profound impact on dance music music in all its forms from the 90's onwards, both culturally and in the production methods and sound. I'm not sure I've ever heard any of the original Detroit artists reference Jamaican music as an influence, but the entire European side (which then moved back North America) is steeped in Jamaican influence, both directly and via the UK.
3) it just blocks and prioritizes that part of download
5) if you can chuck the file so chunks that get downloaded are whole files..less likely to do multiple requests for a single file
