Lumos Identity | Frontend Developer & Full Stack Developer | Full-time | Remote (±4hrs PST)

Hey folks! I am on the search for people passionate about making an impact and being an author of their own story, rather than an editor.

Wtf is Lumos? We are reimagining the future of identity. For example - let's say you need access to Github. You go to the Lumos AppStore, request GitHub, pick the right repositories you need, your manager approves the request through Slack and Lumos creates your GitHub account — instantly. No long IT ticket queues anymore.

Fun facts about us:

- We're in stealth mode but we closed our seed round of $5.3M USD, backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z)

- One our co-founders started and sold a startup to the German government

- We call ourselves alchemists (seriously, check out our Linkedins) because we're creating a little magic and reshaping an arcane industry

You can see all our open roles here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/lumos

Alternatively, reach out to me at elise (at) lumosidentity (dot) com - would love to hear from you!
It's biggest competitor (Java) has exactly the same ownership issues.

C# and .NET Core in particular give me the ability to deploy server or utility software on pretty much anything. You can build a completely self contained executable which is fantastic for deploying software on machines where you can't control the infrastructure.

So, sort of the opposite of lock in.
Kids can do genius stuff, they are very very open to experimentation and out of the box thinking(as they don't have a box to start with, I guess).

I recall someones kid discovering that clicking on ads in games opens the safari within the app, finding their way from there into Google, therefore bypassing the parental restrictions.
Write him an email and sincerely thank him for the work, and ask if there is any charity he would prefer you donate to.
Silicon Valley has a confluence of things many other areas do not have.

1. Several high class feeder schools in the area including but not limited to Stanford and UC Berkeley. Note the feeder schools have robust CS programs but also renowned business and law schools.

2. A robust banking sector in San Francisco (for access to Old Money).

3. A bunch of New Money investors (Sand Hill Road gang etc) that you can wine and dine in-person.

4. California has a ton of high tech businesses besides just plucky Web startups.

A lot of supposed Silicon * regions have one or two of these things but rarely all within a two hour plane ride of each other (if not closer). Austin is nice and all but Silicon Valley (the nine-county Bay Area) is a megaregion with a population of over 7 million people with another two million in the combined statistical area. It's got twice the population of the San Antonio and Austin MSAs combined. That just makes for a much larger pool of we-don't-need-to-relocate employees for start ups or new efforts for existing companies.

It sucks Silicon Valley is so damned expensive but some other regions just being cheaper isn't going to pull away many startups. Despite bitching about taxes companies really like the fact non-competes are basically void in California. They incorporate and "headquarter" in tax havens anyways.
>"Maintaining employment is necessary for long-term societal stability, maintaining Goldman Sachs is not."

The central banks rely on investment banks and other large institution to translate the low overnight rates into reduced commercial and consumer rates. The low interest rate, high inflation rate policies are extremely beneficial to the Goldmans of the world.
Thanks for posting this. Kind of comment that adds value to the discussion by illustrating how a piece of tech can or cannot be useful.

I just happen to have a very similar requirement to yours and was also wondering.
Unless things have changed recently the big issue with LN is that it's fundamentally a centralizing force. The idea that everybody is going to open a million channels with every single counterparty (locking coins in the process) is ridiculous. Instead people would just open a couple of channels with big, centralized nodes but that's just Visa with cryptobabble on top.
It's crazy how often people miss this.
WebKit and buffer overflow vulnerabilities: name a more iconic duo
>With regards to safety, well rust has shown what is possible. Async/ await has introduced function colouring which is a kind of bloat.

I do wonder how much effort it'd require
Probably because it's not the specific party they want in power.
Yeah, that‘s an appealing idea, if there never even has to be any json.

Hasura has the frontend safe API and strong authz going for it. Is that something you might also do, or are you focused on serving the backend? End-user row and column level authz gives me a lot of peace of mind when writing bigger queries.
Paying with attention also means paying with time, which is arguably worse than money because time is lost forever. Also, having to pay attention to an ad breaks your focus and flow, and therefore adversely affects what you actually want to do.
>In an instance where an L2 is compromised, the potential impact is limited to the integrity of data that individual L2 was contributing to the overall platform.

I think distinction is only meaningful as long as L2s remain a niche curiosity while the majority of transaction volume resides on L1. If the L2 plan succeeds and almost all volume passes through an L2 and one of the major L2s has a bug like in this post, then a large fraction of all ETH could end in the hands of hackers.

The ledger would accurately reflect the moment that a bad actor lifted e.g. 5-10% of the ETH supply off an Arbitrum or StarkNet bridge. Technically the L1 is uncompromised but a lot of money would be "redistributed".

> High inflation is universally known as bad for an economy.. until now for some reason.

Because, presumably, the shoe is about to drop and they want citizens to willfully accept their savings/investments going to zero and replaced with a digital surveillance currency (CBDC or Central Bank Digital Currency). If they can convince the general population that "inflation is good," they're less likely to take flight to alternatives like metals, Bitcoin, land, etc or try to behead the bankers who stole their wealth. IMO, MMT is just Stockholm Syndrome rebranded for finance.
I'm assuming that he is running an ad-supported business on the Internet, and will be subject to the same temptations that everyone who runs an ad-supported business on the Internet are subject to. Perhaps he will manage to avoid these temptations, especially if his thing makes enough to give him a comfortable profit without courting VC and its demands to pivot into whatever model results in the most unicorns flying through the air on jets of cash expelled out of their buttholes. Perhaps he will not.
totaling 8 now .. but in the end will need another one really going down bad to stop all the sudden pro-nuclear movement here in Europe, which I can imagine only must have some astroturfing behind.

But til then, blow more money into insurable and as much green as coal and gas power plants :(

(And that calculations done by real experts didn't even include all the other uneconomic issues from getting that stuff from somewhere til storing the waste - but yeah I know, all these waste will be taken by those new shiny molten reactors that have no problem at all on paper and will eat all the waste - both things just so far from reality in practice, which almost does not exist even).

The common stance and knowledge here at HN about all this is consternating :(
On a related note, my daughter (grade 1) uses speech recognition to do spell checking and confirm how a word is spelled.

If you're honestly looking for a citation, start with Galbraith's The Affluent Society. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Affluent_Society). This was old hat in the 50s. They just didn't realize it was going to burn the planet (and us with it)
There are much cheaper bus/coach options for city-to-city travel. But they are not always suitable for commuting daily to work. Expect longer travelling time than rail and be prepared for slow traffic and road works at times.
> would enable people in abusive relationships to be stalked

I can see that concern, but family sharing ALREADY lets you share iDevice locations at all time. That's a superior form of stalking compared to AirTags... So I just don't get this concern. It might just be perception though. From a PR perspective this is a bad time to release any feature that could be perceived as reducing AirTag stalking alerts.
I think my next site is going to be php+Laravel. I had a lot of fun doing web dev in php. Nothing has matched that since. I never tried rails though. If I see another bumblefucked SPA I'm gonna cry.
I also don't think it's particularly coherent. Reversing economic development in many places might actually push populations back into less sustainable modes of managing/interacting with their local environments.
The USA does drone strikes all the time, not only against minor targets, but with egregious collateral damage. Listing examples isn't even worth the energy because this is common knowledge and a simple google search would reveal hundreds if not thousands of these killings.

It was US Military leaks via WikiLeaks that first got Julian Assange onto the USA's hit list, and if and when they get their hands on him, they will make him disappear into a gruesome privatized prison system where he will have no right to be heard, because he published things the government didn't want people to know about.

I don't care if I, personally, will fall victim to this. Trusting the USA is a stupid thing to do, and you have to accept that they are capable of doing a great deal of harm to anyone they want to, regardless of nationality.
How can vim write to stdout? I use the stdin frequently as a better `less` but haven't use stdout.
Okay. The whole situation still makes me uncomfortable. I don't particularly think that being a "private company" on the size and scale of Twitter justifies their ability to censor the president.
I am so delighted I am able to access blog posts from people in Russia or Iran or China. Otherwise, it would be far easier for human rights abuses to exist. (This is somewhat tongue in cheek. My point is that information wants to be free, and we're all better off if there's LESS friction.)

When I found out Parler was being hosted on Russian servers, I immediately informed everyone I knew who was thinking about switching to Parler that it was a really bad idea. And it's their choice whether to use Parler or not.

I think it's great if companies can't hide that they're doing something like routing data through Russia. I think it's pretty stupid to not let someone use a product that routes data through Russia.

I also think that if Facebook stands up servers in France, it'll still be just as problematic as it is today.
Lots of NIMBY anti-development people would consider themselves environmentalist. They are in fact conservatives people that would rather keep the status quo and are against free market for housing and want their assets to inflate to insane prices.
It's not asking you to test the card alone. It's asking to test the rule as it applies to the card. You have to check ABBA or you're not actually applying the rule to the card. This seems like QA done by an engineer vs QA done by someone who cares about QA. The "right" answer here is wrong.
I don't think the confusion is around the concept, but the characterization of "them" as an instance of one, given the stock has performed terribly.

They are simply in no way that matters a "dividend stock" literally or figuratively.

Many are familiar with the concept of buybacks, but Twitter seems to be a "growth" stock that hasn't grown.
Defense spending routed through those places. But there’s also more of a cultural value of risk-taking than the super-conservative nature of Boston, which has MIT and Harvard but also a more-diverse set of concerns that use computers.
> The Android app Apple released is basically useless since it requires manual scanning.

It is better than nothing. The limitation on background scanning is likely due to Android + diverse hardware not providing a low-power way to do such a thing.

The more effort Apple takes to bind an Apple ID to a real world identity, the more consequence comes from abuse of a tag. The alerting serves to make that consequence more likely.
Enduring that stress though will develop that very brain muscle of long term planning. I mean, that's essentially our specie's defining characteristic: delayed gratification through logical reasoning. We don't just do the immediate and obvious reaction on instinct, and surely postponing decisive action causes stress in all mammals. It's the pain of knowledge. Having to wait for a better idea when you could just act now for a tangible result.
I know you can, but I'm talking about it being a 1st class citizen.
Makes you want to vomit? That's a bit over the top.

Hasn't time already proven the skeptics right?

The biggest sources of skeptism were around logistics and value as a currency:

Is there a cryptocoin that has successfully solved logistics without disastrously failing as a currency?

Even if you ignore the environmental aspect... has any coin that has achieved scale not experienced deflation that would make the Great Depression look like a hiccup?

To me the skepticism has always been "you can't have a functional decentralized currency". Some people take that at face value and proudly proclaim "people will accept your BTC/ETH/etc."

But most people mean it in the sense we think of currencies belonging to non-failed states: aka being a somewhat stable store of value. More widely used for payment of productive economic output than fraud and speculation...

I see crypto as I see Tesla, maybe there way a point but it's long buried under the mania.

Disclaimer: Due to that mania I keep some as hedge, but again, imagine saying I keep dollars under my pillow as a hedge that next year they might have 10x'd in value...
Governments are not demanding that anyone is creating FOSS. There is no labor camp for developers and bi mandate.

Advertising is fundamentally waste -- if everyone spends the same amount of resources on advertising, no gains are made but a lot of resources are spent. How can this be justified?
This is very much untrue. Writing with a pen, maybe. Rare, obscure characters from ancient texts, sure. Basic daily-use characters are understandable to even most of the elderly in super remote villages.
I've never seen a libertarian go to the grocer and demand that he be given food for free.
It’s not about luxury, it’s about increasing output efficiency through (human) resource management. I asked if there was any available research that measures the effect of tech debt on mental health and therefore output efficiency. TBH, I’m not really sure which part of my original comment you are addressing.

Edit: clarification.
My server load was not the size I needed 20 dedicated servers, but far too much for Herkou. Just running a 120 core 24/7/365 on heroku is like.. all of my revenue. (Vs 1% on google cloud and maybe .1% on hertzer).
Single digits is still single digits too many. Specially if all involved aren't punished by harshest possible means.

>As time goes on I am less and less supportive of the notion that private companies can do as they please on the basis that they are private companies.

There is no such notion - private companies have to obey the laws of the land like anyone else.

Platforms like Twitter have the right to ban politicians on the basis of the rights of private property and freedom of speech and association. The same rights that allow restaurants to eject people for "no shoes, no shirt, no service" and allow radio stations and newspapers to choose what and what not to publish, and me to tell Jehovah's Witnesses off. I don't know why this suddenly makes people feel uncomfortable, when these rights, and the ability of private enterprise to exercise them, have been part of the basis of Western liberal democracies for hundreds of years.

The inverse of this would be to give carte-blanche ownership and rights over all property to politicians - including social media platforms, that supersede the rights and desires of the platform owners. That it would be illegal to ban any politician from any private property under any circumstances.

I believe it's a good thing that the President of the United States has no more right to act the fool on Twitter than you or I should. Twitter is not, and should not be, the sole nexus for all global political and cultural communication. It's a microblogging platform, ffs, the only reason it "matters" at all is because one specific paranoiac President didn't trust his own media apparatus.

It's a convenience. It's certainly useful, but it isn't necessary.

Not really an upgrade... the Silver Edition (the earlier one) was just built better. I seem to remember a student who left one on the roof of his car when leaving school... It not only survived the fall, but was just fine the next day.

Not to mention the fact that the newer software (from which you cannot downgrade) introduced a significant lag / delay, even on the same hardware.

Tests are a great way of explaining how a system works. Arguably better than types in some instances.

In any case I would refrain from using absolutes like "wrong" for something that clearly works for some people in certain circumstances.
Older water pressure reactors in France are 900mw/1300mw, the EPR is 1650mw. I concede it's not as dramatic an increase as I made it sound. But it should also go hand in hand with longer uptimes and better safety.

> inflation screws over anyone who works for a wage

It can, but inflation affects current assets and liabilities immediately and only depresses wages over time. If inflation was 7% over the course of the year, you now owe 7% less on your outstanding loans (in real terms), while any real wage decrease would be amortized over the course of the year. Assuming inflation occurred at a fixed rate and that your nominal wage didn't change at all, you only actually lost 3.5% of your real wage.

You're also now a worker in a "hot" economy, so you can look for a new job with a higher wage (or ask for a raise, citing inflation) and limit your real wage loss to 3.5% of one year's earnings.

> This is why the general public gets so mad about inflation.

I know this is uncharitable of me, but I think the general public gets so mad about inflation because people with large capital holdings try to get the public riled up, and then the average person just doesn't sit down and do the math for their own situation. The median member of the general public is a debtor, not a creditor, so modest inflation (or high inflation over a short period) is usually good for them, financially speaking. Deflation, on the other hand, could destroy them.

For the bottom and top of the economic ladder, though, inflation is usually a bad deal, since minimum wages and safety net programs aren't normally indexed to inflation, and inflation erodes the value of savings and other current assets. Elevating the middle class at the expense of the poor is morally questionable, even if the rich get soaked along the way, too.
I'm currently investigating whether Redis Bloom [1] could be a good tool for similar requirement.

Ask HN: Do I put a work experience into my resume I’ve left distressed?
I‘ve left a startup after 6 months of internship although I’ve already signed a full time contract (cancelled that too). It was just too toxic for me and I got gas lighted a lot. Then I got a bad behaviour mark. I’ve heard that there is an unspoken rule that you have to work for at least a year before leaving. Now I’m hesitating putting that specific work experience into my resume (new employer might do a background check and call). I’m about to finish my bachelors degrees and I don’t have a lot of work experience to offer aside from team projects. How should I go about this? It’s been a year now.
Indeed.

Pros and cons to being in a crowded market.

From day 1, you KNOW there is demand for your product. You can look up Channel Advisor and see the revenue. And 20 smaller companies under fighting for the rest.

Cons of course being, you have to figue out how to compete with all of these guys ;)
Japanese was something we Argentinians really didn't know back in the 90's when I was a kid (we still don't usually know it, but now I know some people who are picking up classes).

But then there was Captain Tsubasa's FamiCom game, which some friends had, only in Japanese - and it amazed me how easily they went through all of the menus to change whatever settings they wanted.

Kids, spare time, the desire to play some videogames, and a country whose market wasn't that attractive - an awesome combination.
I have a similar command that is basically `entr -r "$@" <<</run/some-well-known-file`. Then I have configured my editor to just touch that file every time I save. This is like `ls | entr` but without needing to bother actually listing the right files 99% of the time I just want to trigger when I save anyways. Plus I can use another command to trigger manually if I want (or just touch the file). I almost always have something like `w nix-build`, `w cargo test`, `w -s 'foo && bar'`. Probably my most used command.
I'm one of the suckers buying Twitter stock. My theory is that they're the last untapped value in social networking. In order to tap that value, they need to get someone that can run a business in the top spot. Time will tell if they ever find them.
I got a new political debate with three other people on Twitter and at some point they revealed to me that all three of them were the same person.

That's what I decided to quit using Twitter.
