Turnstile | Engineering (multiple roles) | Full-Time | REMOTE (US/Canada) | https://www.tryturnstile.com

---

We're a small (14-person) team of repeat founders and seasoned operators building modern revenue infrastructure for usage-based software. This is a tight-knit and senior crew — almost everyone has 10-25 years' experience, much of it together.

The last company we started, Second Measure (YC S15), scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple “best places to work” awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

We're looking for extraordinary builders to play a foundational role in a company designed for scale:

- Frontend Technical Lead
- Frontend Engineer
- Backend Technical Lead (data)
- Backend Engineer (multiple roles)
- others (opportunistic)

We're well-funded by top investors (led by First Round Capital), fully distributed, and known for building intentional, inclusive culture. We offer competitive global rates (SF salary + equity), equal pay by level, work flexibility (including a 4-day core schedule), and comprehensive, family-friendly benefits.

I'm a founder— if interested, apply directly (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/turnstile) or shoot jobs@ and me (mike@) an email.

Yeah.....I use Schwab as bank/brokerage and pay fees for trading. Should apple get a 30% cut......
Yes! That was it! That was one of these several things that emulators are unable to give me...
The emperor wasn't doing particle physics - a field which takes years to even begin to understand and decades to become an accepted researcher. Nothing that an outsider would even be able to comment on, let alone point out flaws.
However this is not Apple products. This is other peoples' products. For example, other peoples' software. Following the "tech" company playbook, Apple is simply acting as a middleman. And in this case a 30% tax man.

Is the volume of crypto transactions rising. Coinbase announced something about increased volume back in September. Perhaps those sales and marketing people at Apple see an opportunity to profit as crypto investors lose their shirts.
This in particular is obviously not a great presentation of research, but what prompts your skepticism that QC is possible in general? Unlike perpetual motion, quantum phenomena is observed all over the place. It's a difficult engineering problem to set up an environment where we can directly manipulate it, but it doesn't exactly need any new physics.
I always appreciate reading your comments even though I don't necessarily agree with the position you take.

However, I'm wondering, how would "1. An annual wealth tax on crypto holdings to fund (a) a victims’ compensation fund and (b) an enforcement agency;", make any sense? Why would someone who owns, say, Bitcoin, be required to pay a "wealth tax"? What is the rationale? Just because there are other people who use the Bitcoin system illegaly? If USD is used illegally, should everyone who holds USD pay a "wealth tax"?

In terms of "3. Reporting requirements for crypto transactions, crypto-fiat or DeFi, above $10k, individually or in aggregate. Civil fines for first time violators. Criminal referrals for repeat, large-scale violators.", how do you propose reporting works for personal wallet addresses, or DeFi protocols? It seems to me like the implementation of that would be a nightmare, not to mention the concerns with privacy.
It is talking about professional dishwashers like the ones used in restaurants. So if you dine out on a regular basis you're probably getting exposed to this stuff even if you don't use it at home.

PS I have no chemical expertise, but the article singles out alcohol ethoxylates as the cause of this damage. And while I don't use rinse aid in my home dishwasher, my Cascade dishwasher pods list "Isotridecanol Ethoxylated" as an ingredient, which may be one of these substances? At least this gets rinsed off, though I doubt it gets rinsed completely.
Is there evidence of this being true, or is it a hunch?
Most companies have humble beginnings and it is difficult to tell which companies will be giant. A air bed and breakfast where strangers stay in your home sounded ridiculous 10 years ago. Or a company that live stream's the life of a single person 24/7 (Justin.tv/Twitch.tv) also seemed ridiculous to be a billion dollar company.
This was the computer I got as a kid, which I only ever used to play games on (maybe my parents should have just given me that nintendo I wanted). I still have it but it hasn’t been turned on for decades. I wonder how likely it would be to turn on? I suspect it would need to be opened up for inspection first but since I don’t know how to solder I doubt there’s anything I could do on the inside and I wouldn’t know how to find someone to help me with it.

Same deal with my se/30. It hasn’t been turned on for many years and I’m afraid to do so in case I damage it (further). IIRC it had a broken floppy drive anyway so it needs some repairs.

They don't need to know because it doesn't matter and they don't care. They see it as you buying a digital item. It doesn't matter to them if it's coins for virtual slots or NFTs—it's all the same. It's up to you to figure it out. Coinbase could, conceivably, charge you through the app store and then process the transaction for you. This would be a nightmare to do and defeat the "purpose" of crypto, but it's possible.

One of the benefits of Apple's enforcement here is their extremely generous refund policy. If you ever buy something by accident (or even on purpose, really, and just later regret it) you can ask Apple for a refund and it's almost guaranteed they grant it.

Obviously crypto users don't really think about refunds because nothing is reversible… although who knows, maybe they do.

Honestly, Apple and Google should ban ALL software crypto wallets. No one is checking to see how secure they are. A seed generated on a software wallet may appear random to the user, but there is NO REASON AT ALL to believe that it is, and no way to verify that it is. IMO every iOS software wallet is compromised simply by virtue of the fact that it's impossible to know whether the seed was generated securely.

I 100% guarantee you there will eventually be a massive "hack" on a major iOS software wallet which is nothing more than the person who wrote the code intentionally making it such that they know how the seed is generated. It would be trivial to generate seeds that appear random but are based on nothing more than a passphrase you know and a timestamp that you can increment over, allowing you at any time to generate all possible private keys for every wallet ever made with your app. That app is probably already out there and people are using it, blissfully unaware that at any time all their crypto could just disappear. If the attacker is smart they can later patch the app, remove their proprietary seed generation and no one will EVER know. They can drain wallets randomly and everyone will assume that the victim must be responsible for the compromised seed, when in reality it was compromised on generation. The attacker will never get caught. I would be honestly surprised if this isn't happening right now.
All good points, especially about orthogonality being....orthogonal to disruption :D. I would love to see advertising disrupted. Advertising seems stuck in 2010; very rarely are ads relevant or worth my time. A perfect solution would offer precisely what I want to see, precisely when I want to see it, all while respecting my privacy. We're nowhere near that.
That's a fee paid to the Ethereum network, not to Coinbase itself, isn't it?
But it's not just about people being different. It's also about how not everything people do has to be valuable to the customer. It can be valuable in the sense that the person stays in the organisation for longer if they get to do it.

This realisation hit me when I was in a heated debate with my (then) product manager about what did and did not provide value for our customers. Then suddenly he said, "I'm pretty sure almost half of what I ask your team to do is not because it's valuable to our customers, but because it's clearly important to your team, for whatever reason I don't have to care about."

I had no idea until that point, but it did make a lot of sense.
> I assume ads are a big part of Google but I suspect it’s not organized around ads.

Other than GCP, how many products can you name that are not monetized by ads?

Advertising is nearly 80% of their revenue. It has remained stubbornly near that mark despite the massive list of products they keep releasing (and shutting down early).

Large organizations tend to coagulate around their profit centers. Google isn't any more immune to it than, say, IBM.
With the full 50 iterations it appears to be about 30s on M1.

They have some benchmarks on the github repo: https://github.com/apple/ml-stable-diffusion

For reference, previously I was getting about <3 minutes for 50 iterations on my Macbook Air M1. I haven't yet tried Apple's implementation but it looks like a huge improvement. It might take it from "possible" to "usable".
It's less versatile out of the box. Give it a couple months for the community to catch up. Everyone is still figuring out what goes where, and SD 1.x was "everything goes in one spot." It was cool and powerful, but limited.
FWIW Hershey was also accused of child labor/slavery alongside Nestle, but you're right and I fumbled that one at the 95-yard-line.
Since you have the concrete type, you can do stuff like storing it inline (which may not be possible if you don't know its size).
Sue Apple?
They have enough money to stretch any process until the opponents funds are empty.
This process seems to be available to regular apps too now. When Apple rejects an update, they ask whether it's a bug fix update you need approved quickly. If yes, you can resolve the identified issues with the next update.

They started mentioning this in the past few weeks when I was updating clients' apps.
Honestly, my favorite parts about rust are:

- It has the best parts of C (code generation is predictable, no mandatory extra thread for GC or similar, interoperates very well with C code)

- It also has some of the niceties that were popularized after C (type inference, an equivalent of unions that isn't terrible, macros that are not terrible, functional features)

- The thread safety stuff. Async has issues, but the core thread safety constructs (send, sync, mutex vs atomic, etc) are just so well designed that rust is by far my favorite language for writing synchronous, shared-memory threaded code. It's quite possible to mess it up, but it's far easier to keep that system in my head than any comparable one that I've used. Of course shared-nothing is even easier, and rust lets you do that too!

I don't use it for everything, but when I do encounter a thing rust is good at, it's just a treat.

Old-growth trees more drought tolerant than younger ones
A new analysis of more than 20,000 trees on five continents shows that old-growth trees are more drought tolerant than younger trees in the forest canopy and may be better able to withstand future climate extremes. The findings highlight the importance of preserving the world's remaining old-growth forests, which are biodiversity strongholds that store vast amounts of planet-warming carbon, according to forest ecologists.
Did you mean to reply to someone else perhaps?

The comment you replied to was a one line joke about being bad at regex. I didn't directly or implicitly make any claim about the quality of the output of the chatbot. It's unclear to me how my comment could be reasonably interpreted as "parading it around".

On a tangent:

> Fooled by a language model

I suspect a reasonable person would understand this to be insulting on some level, so I assume you must have seen some other meaning/value in including it such that the "insultingness" is outweighed by the point you're making. I'm not seeing that point though, could you clarify?
In other cities they provide trash bins and dumpsters. Only in NYC do you just put a bag of trash on the side of the road. My city doesn't even take anything that isn't in a bin that you haven't specifically ordered pickup for (like a big couch)
I sincerely can't tell if this is real or parody. Which is it?
As an aside, this is why I hate regex. The expressions are too convoluted for a human to readily parse and understand. Unless there's a good reason, I prefer to stick to imperative parsing code (and have developed personal tooling to help with that).

Part of elegant development is abstracting at the right places to make your code communicate what it's doing to the next person working on it (which could include future you).
Needs an “insert random text and record” button too I guess.
Yeah, sure. The issue is with temporal consistency. Meta and Google have some successes in that area.

Give it some time and SD will be able to do the same.
And the A500 was well worth the extra $200.
Some opportunities that have come up so far: licensing the engine to commercial products, selling the related services like multiplayer, hosting the experience as an embed, integrations with other services (eg learning management systems), building out the dot com experience into its own a sass product for users / teams, building our own products for other verticals such as pdf annotation or ml image annotation, or door to door sales of nice looking arrows.
What? No. That's the government acting in response to speech, not other people expressing themselves.

Your argument forgets that it's also free speech to react to something objectionable. If the government forced me to do business with you without my consent, that would be compelled association, which is more similar to how Mao's government behaved in the 50s.

Everybody who works with Maya, Flash (now Adobe Animate) etc. knows that they crash all the time, and often corrupt files so you back them up every hour or so. Carmack insists, in a gaming context, to run heavyweight, high-false-positive-rate static analyzers because users don't like crashes.

When C++ dies (which in 20 years it will, and I wasn't that hopeful 20 years ago), people will look in the same bewilderment at excuses made for its insane behavior as they look now at mid-20th-century arguments against high-level languages (and assemblers before them - like Mel said, "you never know where it will put things so you'd have to use separate constants.")
Here's where I get a little more naive....do you....have one VLAN that's your "normie" network that your WIFI access points expose to all the devices, then the other VLAN is...only within the wired network, so if your phone wants to get to your bitwarden, it's always going out the wifi out the gateway first and back in, kind of thing?

right now all my "services", which are not bitwarden-level sensitive, are all on the same network as whatever crap I bought at home depot. I have an edgemax router and there is a third NIC I've never used, so I guess I'd finally plug a switch in there! ok. next project I guess

That’s right, it’s React all the way down. It could render using anything, really; the React rendering part is quite loosely coupled from the main “what needs to be rendered” application layer.
sigh

Okay, so there is a decent amount of scientific evidence suggesting there could be a link. I mentioned in my comment that she treats the subject very gingerly, rightly so, because people will respond the way you are likely to respond.

However, saying that it is dangerous is a very good way to shut down the conversation completely, or demonize those trying to gather an honest understanding of reality. Consider the case that there really is a link. Is it better to wall off the conversation completely instead of investigating? Is it possible to discuss the topic at all? ever?

I mean, read the book, it is backed by real science it is not political at all, not some alt-right hateful thing.

I'm doing a GIS project[1] for fun to find out where I want to move in the next year. I have to constantly monitor RAM usage and save before running some operations because there's a chance OOM killer makes a fatal decision to kill the program. This is on a machine with 32GB and I could easily find myself using more.
