Lightning Labs | Lightning Infrastructure Engineer, Lightning Protocol Engineer, Platform Engineer| San Francisco | Remote | Full-time

https://lightning.engineering/

https://github.com/lightninglabs

Lightning Labs is hiring! We’re looking to expand our team to build technology that'll bring Bitcoin to the next billion people. Our current focus is the development and deployment of the Lightning Network, an open blockchain scalability protocol. We push the edge of innovation with regard to blockchain scalability, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and cryptocurrency UX. If you’re interested in one of the positions below, please apply using our careers page: https://lightning.engineering/join-us. And if you know someone who might be a good fit, we'd very much appreciate any referrals.

{Lightning Infrastructure Engineer}:

We're looking for a systems-oriented engineer who will design and build out key components to support the growth of the Lightning Network. These tools will lower the barrier to entry for operating Lightning nodes and enable existing node operators to more effectively manage their infrastructure. You'll work on products such as Lightning Pool (https://lightning.engineering/pool/), as well as other Bitcoin-based backend systems to make Lightning more useable, and secure.

{Lightning Protocol Engineer}:

Experienced systems software engineer versed in applied cryptography, peer-to-peer networks, distributed systems, open source software, and cryptocurrency protocols to design and implement core protocol and algorithmic components of the Lightning Network as well as the Bitcoin Network. Solid programming skills, experience with Go, C, or C++. Prior contributions to crypto protocols and open source software collaboration preferred.

{Platform Engineer}:

Seeking a pragmatic senior software engineer who embraces the DevOps mindset to improve our developer experience. Improve the robustness and security of our internal platform by managing the underlying cloud and cluster technologies, observability tooling, stateful services, and enhancements such as operators and overlay networks.
Define 'fast' and 'these days'. Lots of companies are affected by bus problems, but I'm not so sure they're successful at dealing with it. I'm also not sure this is a new phenomenon, and it's certainly not universal. If anything I can think of a couple of projects that suffer from too little turnover, and the resultant echo chamber.

As for 'dealing', look at all the status Google services have lost in the last ten years due to systemic problems with valuing novelty over stability. There are perverse incentives not to maintain things you have delivered, even if you are still at the company.
I agree with you 100%. Sorry for being unclear. I just meant at low levels ADHD can be a different mode of thinking. Much like OCD can simply be a more cautious personality… until it becomes so cautious that it’s disabling and no longer just a “cautious personality” but a completely pathological OCD mode of thinking. It’s important to be aware of both ADHD and OCD and other mental illnesses so that we can seek treatment before the issues become intractable.
Things aren't going well. New fab shrinks and CPUs are years late. Apple ditched Intel chips for desktop/laptops. Various large clouds (like Amazon) are pushing ARM based systems. Even Microsoft is starting to push arm.

Promised fab shrinks and CPUs are years behind schedule. The sapphire rapids Xeon chip is in it's 12th revision and despite being 1.5 years late looks to be another 6-7 months out. It was originally going to compete with Zen3 Epyc chips and now looks like the Zen 4 Epycs will have a good head start.

Apparently the GPU effort is also years behind, failing to meet numerous previous timelines, and still has an uncertain future.

Optane never quite delivered and has been killed off.

So major setbacks in servers, fabs, desktop chips, storage and GPUs.

The semiconductor shortage has helped intel, better to buy an Intel server than wait a year for an AMD ... but that only works until AMD can meet demand.

Can Intel turn it around, sure. Will that happen? Seems far from sure. Today's situation has been years in the making and it's far from clear if the fixes have been made.
Congrats on the launch, Stefan. That is a heck of a nice wrap on that tractor. Best of luck!
I did the same thing in much the same way … So there’s at least two of us mate.

Most could, sure. I could do so. But why would I want to? It would take research and investment into something I don't give a shit about. I don't particularly care what Linux variant is being used, as long as it works. The less I have to think about it, the more I can spend time on other, more important stuff.
Whenever I see any nutrition article like this, I am extremely skeptical. The definition of "ultra-processed" is completely arbitrary as I read it [1]. The control diet is generally worse on non-processing related attributes. The processing angle really only serves to confuse the nutrition debate as the attributes of ultra-processed food (excess sugar, use of partially hydrogenated oils) are already well established health risks. By putting things in the context of the processing, it ignores the possibility of processed foods that avoid these ingredients. By limiting the processing concern to an arbitrary definition of ultra-processing, actual causes might be left uncovered, while non-causes are left in. Whey protein, which I know many very healthy people eat, is considered ultra-processed. Meanwhile, pasta is considered merely processed, while if the pasta is ready to eat, it is ultra-processed. This distinction doesn't seem to be a useful way to make intelligent decisions, and is simply a spurious correlation actually caused by the food ingredients, or just some side effect of people eating less when food isn't ready-made, because they have to do more work to consume it...

You're talking in general, and most of your points are correct, but they don't apply to our business fully.

For example, our newsletters are always offering a time-limited discount for the purchase. They're also not segmented out to people "most likely to purchase", because we don't have that data. It goes out to 100% of our audience every time, unless they made a very recent purchase.

If we knew who the people are that are most likely to buy, it sure as hell would make the business easier to run.
> Why would Russia need to maintain leverage at that point? Wouldn't they be better off just selling the gas and taking the money?

If Russia lost decisively in Ukraine, I don't think they'll turn the gas back on to Europe unless there's a regime change in Russia. Putin will be thrashing around doing whatever he can to make Europe suffer for their helping Ukraine.

> If that happens, and the immediate conflict is resolved, what material reason is there for EU citizens to endure the cold?

But would the conflict be resolved in the case where Russia takes more of Ukraine? I don't see how it could be considered resolved at that point. Even if (especially if?) Russia were to take over all of Ukraine and install a puppet regime the west will continue to isolate Russia.
Sorry. You are right. The amounts matter as well. My bad.
I think it's mostly MacBook Pros (not Airs).

Most of Google's services have a corresponding iOS app which requires a Mac to build / run a simulator. So if you're not actually picky about computer then it's more practical to have a Mac as it can handle debugging for Web/Android/iOS.

If you're at a desk you can have a dock with a different keyboard.

From Despair to The Scream: genesis of Edvard Munch’s most famous work (2019)
At the moment I'm working on FastHash[1], a pet project of mine to port a few high-performance non-cryptographic hash functions to C#.

I'm also trying to build FastLinq, a value-by-reference Language Integrated Query (LINQ) optimized for high-performance scenarios. It is kind of a weird mix as LINQ in .NET is known for its high overhead.

Finally, I'm working on an Office setting synchronization application. I heard a podcast with Paul Thurrott complaining about the lack of sync solutions, so I thought I would do one for fun.

Totally. But I make one meal each night, if you don’t like it, you are on your own. I don’t mind cooking but I am not a short order cook! My son was making peanut butter and jelly at on his own 4 when he didn’t like what I made.
It's perhaps unsurprising that LGBTQ community's longstanding objection to the implications of "sexual preference" in discourse gained recognition after a high profile news story involving a high profile person using, receiving objections to and then apologising for it.

Ironically, it's the exact same media attention phenomenon that meant that some people who have longstanding and entirely sincere objections to undue emphasis placed on US institutions in Wikipedia rocked up this week to the Recession article to question whether the NBER definition has been given undue prominence for the last 15 years, and not some other time when the definition of recession wasn't a major news story with unfortunate implications for a certain political figure.

>Instead we are being encouraged to respect their gender identity,

I, too, can rephrase bad things in superficially-positive language to make them seem like good things.

>The science on this is pretty clear

Ah, off course. THE SCIENCE^TM. The single, monolithic, Science; which by very happy coincidence happens to hold the opinions you deem acceptable.

>[1] I implore you to watch this video

I implore you to understand how bias and cherry picking works, for every heart-wrenching sob story about brave and stunning joe or jane finding their "true self" there are 10 heart-wrenching stories about kids being misled into mutilating their bodies irreversibly by their peers, teachers and caregivers as they chase their mythical true self, and the overwhelming power of state and mass media are on 1 side and not the other, namely that of trans activists.

>If you are under the impression that being trans isn’t stigmatized enough

I'm always amazed by the ability to live in parallel realities that human minds have, it's like sensory data is just an abstract high-level description that isn't enough to determine reality, and each person constructs their own reality by filling in the blank. Like, judging from my experience online, being trans is really really privileged. Is there any other groups (besides the usuals, which are also privileged) that can make public discourse salty against a comedian for 6 or 7 months straight because they made fun of the group ? Is there any case of people being outraged that comedians make fun of men ? Men literally had one of the corporations marketing products for them to shit on them in an ad in 2019, and the whole incident was forgotten in days. Yet, here you are, apparently the group that is coddled and put on a pedestal seemingly everywhere is oppressed and stigmatized.
It was $1.86/share Oct/Nov 2012, quite a rally if you ask me. I think it was still $1.66/share sometimes in '15.

From Nov 2012 (that was after Bulldozer), it run to $153/share on 19th Nov '21 – that's 8255,38%!

I remember vividly back in 2002 studying the newly established 'FT Deutschland' (FT's German Edition) when being in Germany, that FT Deutschland brought an profound article talking about AMD's imminent impact of success (and how it's going to hit INTC hard) with the then-new Thoroughbred-Athlons – I should've invested as I felt something was up.
> antiquitated plants to upgrade/maintain

LOL, it's Tesla that is way behind in manufacturing. They had trouble hitting their production targets, and they still have quality problems. Toyota/Volkswagen etc will have zero trouble switching their production lines to electric cars, and when they do they will manufacture cheaper, faster, and better.

> old supply chains to wind down, new supply chains to wind up

Again, advantage at putting together supply chains is with traditional manufacturers, because of their experience.

EDIT: Tesla seems to have problems even hiring workers for their factory in Berlin, never heard of any German manufacturer having similar problem.
Unless you have massive scale VMs are your best option. If you need VM configuration on startup (elastic scaling), you may need to maintain your own image. Salt Stack and/or Fabric are good alternatives to Ansible.

You could look at containerization without K8S (podman or docker) especially if you use python and don’t want to mess with the Linux native python installation.

Unless Tesla figures out how to manufacture cars with much lower carbon emissions (I mean, the manufacturing of the cars themselves), Tesla is not going to fare that much better than the legacies.

I hope they do figure it out...
Only if you ignore the cost of moving, which is enormous. Basically dropping your whole life to get maybe 20k€ more, abroad. If you are happy with your life, not even 150k€ would justify a move because good money ain't going to buy you the same friends and family.
Maybe we could unionize the tech industry so we have the time to cook healthy meals.
> A coup in Russia deposing Putin wouldn't be unexpected.

This seems like the only thing that could possibly happen in the next 3 months that would actually change the situation. But it also doesn't seem likely to happen within the next 3 months.
I think market cap is a bit misleading. Enterprise value (market cap + net debt) is a more consistent valuation measure.

The house analogy is a helpful one. Let's say I buy a million dollar house but I only have $100K of equity in it so far. My market cap is $100K and my debt is $900K. I'd argue that the house is still worth a million dollars.

This is important here since Tesla has much less debt vs. the rest of the auto industry.
>You can make your kids not picky by putting a plate in front of them and providing the choice of either eating it or going to bed hungry. Kids aren't born only wanting to eat chicken nuggets and mac n' cheese.

Yep. I never understood the whole "my kids won't eat $x" thing.

When I was a kid, i ate what was given to me (which was the same as everyone else got) or I didn't eat.

And not because we were poor and couldn't afford to indulge me either. We were a family and ate the same food together. There was never any discussion or expectation of anything different.
Longer term (1980-present), it's been a very rough ride for public equity holders of either INTC or AMD: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/INTC,AMD

Intel is still below its year-2000 peak (even in inflation-adjusted, dividend-reinvested terms).

AMD's growth since ~2015 all-time lows is incredibly impressive: https://totalrealreturns.com/s/INTC,AMD?start=2016-01-01 Ryzen was launched in late 2016 -- was that the catalyst?
> Flipping burgers is useful work.

We were talking about important work, thus my point about how you want to define important.

Screwdrivers are useful, but none of the screwdrivers I own are important. I could lose one and not notice.

I don't think it's hard to grasp.
I thought this, too, until I had kids. I tried this... they didn't eat, then couldn't fall asleep because they were hungry, so stayed up all night crying because they were hungry. Tried again, they took a few bites then threw it all up.

Maybe they would have broken after a few more days of starvation, but I didn't have it in me to do it.
Yep, of course if you're not willing to downgrade from a FAANG job with free food, 300K+ in salary to a company that gives you more flexibility in time/remote work with less salary, then of course the conversation is over, before it has started.

But there are certainly companies out there where you can do your own gig for 30-40% of the time, let alone 20%, and still can get by.

> Too bad. If you have a business (and Google is a business) that goes business with the public (which Google does), you should offer some form of customer services. It's what we human beings call "the right thing to do."

Lets pause on that thought.

Why is there a moral imperative to offer customer service (provided they dont misrepresent that they do)? What is the basis for a moral obligation?

Its not like there is a line in the bible saying "thou shalt offer tech support". Admitidly im not convinced by religious arguments, but i dont see any more modern moral source either.

> Imagine if Google's vendors stopped offering Google customer service. Janitor didn't show up today? Well, clean your own office toilet today, technie. Surely, there's a YouTube tutorial for that.

That's not really a customer support inquiry. That said, one of two things happen - either they are ok with it, or they are not. If they are not they negotiate other terms or hire a different cleaning company.

I'm not saying you have to like google's policies, just that its not unethical for google to have policies you don't like.

> Bullshit. It has billions and billions and billions of dollars that it can throw at the customer service problem, but it doesn't for one simple reason: Greed.

Wait. Are you telling me that a private corporation in america is trying to maximize profits? The horrors. I would have never guessed. What next? Is the sky blue?

> How about the restaurant down the street maximizes its shareholder profits by not honoring your reservation?

A) that action does not maximize shareholder profit.

And b) its wrong because they promised something and didn't deliver. The sin is in the reneging.

If google promised customer support and didn't deliver, that would be wrong. But google didn't promise customer support.

> How about the dry cleaner optimizes its workflow by only being open three minutes a day?

Sounds like a shitty dry cleaner, but i fail to see the ethical issue. If the dry cleaner doesn't meet your needs, don't use it.

Quite frankly, i think this entire thing reeks of entitlement. Just because someone offers to sell you a service, doesn't mean they have an obligation to provide it in the fashion you want. Their obligation is to not mislead, and be honest about what they are offering. Maybe what they are offering works for you, maybe it doesn't. If it doesn't dont do business with them.

> If Google is so wonderful, full of so many smart people, then how come it can't solve its customer service problem?

Because they don't want to and there is nothing wrong with that.

It can be Open Source in practice too, as long as you make sure that your Public Domain dedication is actually effective around the world. The best way to do that could be something like CC0, but CC0 itself is problematic because of its explicit no-patent-grant clause, so it's not recommended to use on software. Instead, licenses like 0BSD or MIT-0 are probably your best bet, practically emulating Public Domain and being officially recognized Open Source licenses.
The top ten automakers have huge amounts of debt and pension liabilities. Tesla has neither. None of them are making profitable EVs at scale. Tesla has been hitting their goal of growing at 50% per year for a decade and plans to continue until they are making 20 million cars a year in 2030. Their gross margin on cars is the highest in the industry.

The next 5 years are critical for the existing players and many will shrink dramatically or go bankrupt. People already know this and that is why there is a bill in Congress that is a stealth bailout of the domestic auto industry with a $7500 tax credit on cars that have just $750 worth of batteries in them.
