OpenStax | Software Engineer II | Product Manager| OpenSource | Fully Remote

The OpenStax Kinetic team is searching for a Product Manager and full stack (React/Rails) software engineer.

- Product Manager: https://emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperienc...

- Software Engineer: https://emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperienc...

Kinetic is a new open-source project that helps to connect researchers with study participants. You can read more (and participate!) at https://openstax.org/kinetic/. It's source code is fully available at https://github.com/openstax/kinetic

Have any other questions? I'm the engineering manager for the team and am happy to answer any questions, my email is in HN profile.
I agree completely that better price discovery would help the issues greatly. Many times the doctor's office will not even be able to tell you how much a procedure or medication costs until after you get it, which is nuts. If there were more competition in the medical world practices like this would quickly die out (imagine if a grocery store didn't post any prices for its items!)
It's an idiom that's maybe past its expiration date in the era of "I can see my mailbox from space, if I zoom in on google maps enough"
It's not baffling to me that people don't like people who act this way. I don't like such comments either. What's baffling to me is the punishment given for it. Using the given parallel, I'm not familiar with a case where such punishment was given to someone who burped loudly at their dinner table (or some other social faux pas).

It seems currently and historically, such social norms and expectations have been primarily enforced through social shaming and avoidance, rarely government intervention. That's the baffling part to me.
At my company, that will get you a bad rating (I know from experience).
Climatelink.io (launching) tries to solve Don't Look Up
We're launching climatelink.io today. Climate change is complex, scary, real and the mother of all collective action problems. We're building a social network focused exclusively on saving the planet.

In my own climate journey, a few insights led to building (and now launching) climatelink. First, climate is hard. I took the (excellent) terra.do course last year, and once you really study climate science, it's hard not to freak out. When you dig into something so massive, the human tendency is to look away, or to stay on the surface. "Don't Look Up" illustrated that beautifully.

Second, I talked to a whole bunch of people in a similar situation ("what can I do?"), and it's really hard to figure out how YOU can actually make a meaningful difference in climate. Everyone has a different background, and at the same time, climate touches every sector and profession, so how can you combine those?

Third, even today, we only have a tiny fraction of the people that we need working on climate.

And finally, what I felt, and what many other people during conversations confirmed to me, is that once you really dig into climate, and if you don't look away, you get kind of radicalized. And I am using that word carefully, in the positive sense: a radical change means a change that is not just incremental. We need to radically move our energy system off fossil fuels, for example.

So we figured, first, to fix the "Don't Look Up" problem, we could use a social network, with its inherent addictive qualities (if we do it right). That turns a major social media issue (I can't look away) into the solution of a major climate issue (Don't Look Up).

Second, we can use a second negative side effect of social networks, that they tend to "radicalize" people, for good. Because we need radical change.

So that's all to say, I really hope you will check out climatelink.io, and let me know what you think :)
The leadership development process is a nightmare
Not bad for high schoolers though right?

Well that's a bummer. They were one of the VERY few seltzer companies that offered Dr. Pepper, cola, and cherry cola SELTZER. It's incredibly hard to find reasonably priced traditional soda flavours in seltzer form. La croix has a "ni cola" but it's around $10 / 8 can case. Which is insane, but pricing of seltzer is another story.
My Ford Contour SVT (Mondeo in the UK I think?) had a collar under the shift knob that you had to pull upwards to shift into reverse. Had never seen that before, and I felt awfully embarrassed to ask the guy selling me the car how it worked.
He has said in at least one interview that he believes the legal arguments and principles should stand on their own merit, and purposefully tries not to be influenced by counsel's oratory skills. Hence, the rarely speaks or questions counsel.

The OK hand sign is racist now. There's rumbles of milk being racist.

The scary thing that should terrify everyone is we are going to come to a point where being called racist no longer matters or nobody cares, and then your gonna see REAL racism come back with a fury and force you wont like.

> You have inflected nouns and adjectives -- you'd have to come up with new endings for those

Two proposals that I've seen replace all endings with either -x or -ens.

German source - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lann_Hornscheidt#Gendertheorie...

Now one might think that these are outlandish ideas that will never fly, but...

> And teach everyone to use them.

...that's easy, because languages changes are implemented top-down. Considering how unpopular the neutral forms using : and * are in polls, it is absolutely fascinating to see them spread so quickly from academia, to tech (macOS, Spotify), to local governments, to normie coworkers. Nonbinary people wouldn't have to do the teaching themselves.

Edit:

> ...not the neuter ones in case that this were offensive in German...

My first intuition was that using the neutral gender would indeed be offensive. But children (das Kind) and girls (das Mädchen) are neutral - and it doesn't feel rude to refer to them as "it"? I think it could work.
In this case a 914 is close to the perfect car for autocross. They are super light, so they change direction like a fly. The mid engine layout means they have excellent balance. Autocross is a low speed event, so the lack of power isn't the penalty it would be on a larger circuit. With modern tires a 914 should do extremely well.
I have some family members that work at Amazon, my understanding is that the conditions at Amazon are hard to pin down because some warehouses are run just fine and others are abusive. That said, everyone working a job has a right to a union. Whether there's workplace abuse going on or not.

All human endeavors are corrupt, including gov't, business, and occasionally unions. Collective bargaining is something I wish I had at my disposal. Not to mention I could use it to make life better for my colleagues overseas. No reason they should be paid any or much less than anyone else. They work hard, and we should band together.
He's given a couple of reasons for this. The first is that he doesn't view it as particularly helpful.

“I think it’s unnecessary in deciding cases to ask that many questions, and I don’t think it’s helpful, I think we should listen to lawyers who are arguing their cases, and I think we should allow the advocates to advocate.”

Most of the general public view oral arguments as the totality of the work that the justices do, but in reality a lot of the work goes on behind the scenes. Reading up on prior decisions, parsing the grammar of a law, reviewing history at the time the law was created, debating behind the scenes, etc. So I could see why asking questions during oral arguments isn't particularly important to him. The other justices do plenty of questioning anyway, so it often becomes redundant.

The second reason he has stated is that he is self conscious about the way he talks because he grew up speaking Geechee (aka Gullah) in rural Georgia. Since he was teased about this dialect, he formed a habit of not speaking.

>Do you think white people who lived during the time of segregation or redlining had white privilege

Whites were 80-90% of the population during that time, assigning a vague notion of "privilege" to an entire race of people as a basis for reverse racism is not only useless, but misleading, because these "privileged" people were still in competition with other whites (and non-redlined minorities). The implication is that they collectively derived benefit from unfair rules against blacks, but frankly this is a dishonest assertion.

>but pretending white privilege is a racist term is stupid.

>Racist: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion

You're playing wordgames to resolve the cognitive dissonance that comes with claiming to be anti-racist while using intrinsically racist terminology. Especially when the implication of "white privilege" is that there is an unfair advantage based on race which needs to be corrected based on race. Reverse racism is still racism, even if merriam-webster tries to redefine the term.
By which I think you mean that the invasion is an effect of Ukraine's joining NATO. Even if they apply now that's very unlikely to happen before 2024, agreed? But in that case the effect comes ten years before the cause, and if the effect precedes the cause by ten years, you should consider whether another cause is more reasonable.
Nah, that's not true. Linux also looks best at roughly that scale. Everything is way too big at 1080p@1x/4k@2x at 27" -- in both macOS and Linux. I'm not too sure about Windows, but given the fact that cross-platform apps like web browsers render everything at the same logical size across the systems, and the fact that browsers don't look hilariously out of place in Windows. I'm gonna assume that it applies to Windows as well.

I used to have a 27" 1080p monitor for my Linux box, now I have a 27" 1440p monitor and a 24" 1080p monitor. Everything looks less oversized now.
My favorite solution for that, or when I feel I need to show some involvement for others.

I ask a specific enough question from someone I don't typically talk to, that I know has a non controversial answer. They answer it and it shows I'm thinking of nuts and bolts and how things work and everyone moves on.

You'd be surprised how many folks think "oh this guy knows all about / is really thinking about that thing to ask that kind of specific question".

Just a quick one like that works well. You do have to know the room and the situation to avoid falling into some messes but it works.

Felt | Frontend and Elixir Engineers | Oakland or REMOTE (US timezones) | Full-Time | https://felt.com

Felt is the best way to make maps on the internet. It's surprisingly hard to make a map today, and people in 15+ industries rely on them to do their jobs. Climate change and the resulting natural disasters are forcing even more people to become map-makers, and Felt is here to meet that need. It's the first easy-to-use collaborative mapping software, founded by a team of technologists with a proven track-record. My co-founder and CEO, Sam, is a former YC founder who sold his previous company [1] and I'm an early Uber engineer.

Our technology stack is Elixir (on Phoenix), a good amount of PostGIS and React on Typescript. We are looking for folks who want to work on a modern, collaborative web-app. Think Figma for Maps.

We are especially on the lookout for front-end talent that is energized by the UI challenges of working on an infinite canvas and spatial tools. We are working with really talented folks, doing some interesting stuff [3]!

We are well-funded, have employee friendly terms such as early exercise, 10-year exercise windows and even a matching 401(k).[4]

Becoming an expat isn't voting with your feet. Your taxpayers dollars are still going to the US until you find a way to get citizenship elsewhere and pay the exit tax.
So many sites have that. I can't really express how frustrating this is - if you don't want me to click anything in your footer, why bother making a footer?

IMO the article does not claim the market is working. Insurance companies are not including those generics in their plans so people can't use them. I bet if congress cap'd how much they could charge for insulin they might be incentivized to get people to pick a cheaper (generic) option.

> However, we’ve seen that limited insurance coverage [1] can prevent some patients from accessing these savings.

Monero has some strong points, but it's actually LESS decentralized than Bitcoin. A Monero confidential transaction is 1.5kb while a Bitcoin transaction which is only around 300 bytes. For the argument of decentralization, it doesn't matter that it doesn't blind the amounts or add decoys inputs, the 5x size of a transaction itself means that the chain is much bigger than Bitcoin under the same load which makes it less decentralized due to much higher storage requirements for a full node. It's also much slower to verify the history because of all the rangeproofs that need to be validated for all outputs that have been ever created.
Luckily there are boatloads of other studies that show the exact same outcome.

Here's one from 2016 [1]

Overall evaluations show that the current evidence for a causal association between cancer and exposure to mobile radiation is weak and unconvincing. Some of the studies establishing association had significant limitations and weaknesses and, therefore, remain unreliable. Studies have highlighted that using these phones for about 10 years is unlikely to cause cancer.

I agree.

Many "extended hotel stay" chains offer amenities likes kitchens and laundry. Most have "Extended Stay" somewhere in their brand name. Marriott's relatively common brand in many major cities is Residence Inn. To my experience Residence Inns are quite reliable.

This is definitely an intriguing line of thinking. I too am constantly appalled by the complexity we introduce into the things we build, but I suspect a lot of it has to do with human issues that can't be solved by better technology. That said, I'm very curious to see what tractor ends up looking like.
Seriously, same thought. The Miata is this but without anything after the first paragraph. It starts and runs instantly, is fuel injected, brakes well, and the transmission is notably direct feeling. It is the feeling of a good day in the 914 every day (and thus worse, because you do not know the bad days). I guess this guy went though hell to define such a great car.
I think https://remote.com does this too.

Thanks for calling this out!
Do we do that for every referendum? Should only native catalonians be able to vote in a referendum for independent Catalonia? Do we let anglo canadians vote living in quebec vote for Québec's independence ? Moving from madrid to Barcelona does not make one a Castillian settler.

Especially considering how historically, migrations from and into the sahara were extremely common. My own family, on the side of my mother is sahraoui (half from what is now western sahara, and the other half from southern morocco) and used to migrate every few years from Mauritania to the Agadir area and vice versa.

Southern moroccan arabic tribes are almost indistinguishable from sahraoui tribes. The line is so blurry much more so than with even between southern and northern moroccans. The language is the same, the customs are very similar, etc.

The concept of an independant and separate western sahara was literally a colonial construct that suited spain very well. It would've probably died off if Algeria didn't prop up (what was an irrelevant fringe group like Polisario) to destabilize it's regional rival.
I'm using another tiling WM, "The Awesome WM", since forever. I'd really like to see a comparison of i3wm vs Awesome. My setup is working so great for me that I cannot see myself switching to i3wm, unless it's really that much better than Awesome.

But I'm curious: you're not the only one to shill i3wm: obviously people using it love it.
> as they can get a better paying job by switching companies within the same industry whenever they like.

There's definitely a lot of truth to this, but I think it's also important to note that switching costs for jobs can be very high for employees. People can have deep social ties with coworkers, there is no guarantee that the new job is better so the risk of ending up in a worse position (with possibly burned bridges) has to be factored in. In places where the job market is limited, it can mean moving, which can be very difficult.

Even in non-monopolistic areas, employment is very far from an efficient market.
Can't you just use the Internet in that case?
The irony being that the Miata is none of this. Notably reliable and easy to drive.

What would court case be like if none of the Justices ever spoke? Would it just be two sides giving their arguments, witness, and closing arguments? Seems like that would speed things along. But when is communication every 100% concise? Still seems suspicious to me.
It defines it just fine. Understanding means grasping what a symbol refers to and what it represents conceptually, rather than just engaging in symbolic manipulation itself.

Just imagine a perfect rule book that already has a translation from one language into the other for every imaginable sentence, some native speakers just have written any possible combination down. You could 'translate' by just visually picking without having any idea of what's being said. They understand, you do not.
