Kara (Climate Tech, ESG) | NYC | Full Time | www.joinkara.com | Head of Engineering / Founding Engineer

Kara is a software platform to empower investors and technology companies to achieve their climate and social goals. The problem that we are solving is that investors (LPs and GPs), governments, and a whole new generation of consumers are increasingly asking if their capital is building the world that they want to see: Are our investments helping solve our climate crisis? What's the diversity of the leadership of our portfolio companies? Are there any practices within the companies that are not responsible?

We are a quickly growing startup, with numerous clients and pilots using our MVP platform. This is a great opportunity to be our founding engineer at Kara. We are looking for a senior/principal engineer that is ready to jump into the startup life and take the next step in their career as a founding engineer. We currently have an MVP built in no-code (Bubble) that works great at current scale, but you will build and own our next gen platform (to be built on a traditional tech stack from scratch). You will own the architecture, grow the engineering organization, develop and implement process, communicate technical strategy to multiple stakeholders, and work directly with the CEO and Head of Product to build the platform that aims to achieve their social and climate goals!

Location: Since the team is small and we are looking for a founding engineer, NYC is preferred, but also open to remote. In this case, travel to NYC would be beneficial to the team and we’d love to see and create with you in person!

For more information about us and the position, check out the description here: https://apply.workable.com/kara-inc/j/725A61AC38/

If you’d like more information before applying, feel free to reach out to me here: nick@modeselekt.com. My name is Nick and I’m Kara’s engineering advisor responsible for the MVP platform and helping to hire an amazing founding engineer!
The vulnerability was in a Sirius product. If you’re suggesting auto manufacturers don’t write their own telematics software because it’s not core to their business, then… hallelujah! Can you imagine what kind of crap they’d deliver? I’d you’re suggesting something else, then I don’t understand.
I've also argued against /api for similar reasons under "strict REST", too. It's often "redundant" information not all that useful in the URL hierarchy. Everything is an API. There's no "non-API" endpoints. Even pages that only return HTML are a public API. But I also understand the usefulness for things like security audits to have a magic circle labeled /api even though that magic circle doesn't really do anything.

I think you are almost assuming the implementer doesn't abstract the URL routing in some way and has to care about about every possible URL route? In practice there is often very little difference on the implementer side between routing `/api/v{id}/some/route` and pulling in the version number as a route parameter and picking up a version number from a header. The implementer is still just seeing a version number parameter injected either from their routing framework or their header dictionary. In both cases the amount of code they see is roughly the same. In many cases all "versions" of the code might only be a single "Controller". Outside of a few languages such as PHP there's few languages that have a direct 1:1 between URL paths and "Controllers" or "Source Files" or anything resembling that. At some point there's always some intuition that side-by-side versions imply side-by-side code and the "tech debt" sense of that maintenance version, but that intuition comes from numbers of classes and size of classes and indirect measurements like PR cycle time and Sprint planning estimates, and is never directly connected to URL routing versus Header negotiation. (Again, in modern languages with modern routing frameworks. Obviously if you have to drop a PHP or ColdFusion file for every API endpoint you'll feel URLs a lot more painfully than that.)
You seen to be responding to a different point than that which was made.
I'd like to support ID verification of the person you're chatting with.

If I want to chat with someone from FB marketplace (or a girl from a dating app), there is very little tooling available to verify they are who they say they are and not a collection of fake scam profiles.

Zalo has a neat feature that lets you "search" through contacts and messages, but if you search a magic pin code, it shows you hidden conversation views that don't show up in the regular search / recent conversations list.

If anyone is interested in building something to help with the identify issue, hit me up!
Daily stand ups with constant re-estimating.
This does seem to be the play.

There is a story here! Politicians having direct access to social networks to suppress narratives they don't like is interesting. But 1) I don't think it's surprising and 2) it appears it was not politically motivated at least in a bipartisan sense.

A story but one delivered with the kind of panache to drive traffic.
I have bad memory at times. Mostly concerned when I forget something I know well.
The other day I forgot the word "distributed system",which I use a lot. Felt embarrassing.

I noticed it's way worse when I don't sleep.

I have serious dust mites allergy, I wonder if that has a great effect (my nose is always partially blocked).

When I code I work well, I seem to remember a lot of details, to the point it surprises me.
And it’s pretty clear how much the Biden team wants to suppress the story.

Why suppress a story if you believe it to be false and you did nothing wrong?
It was all over the news, seems pretty astounding to reveal the CEO at the time had no idea any of this was happening!
I am glad we can both agree that Russia did in fact interfere in the election.
Well if you're drama starved "just" confirmation that they purposefully manipulated public opinion, the thing that was already obvious, isn't exactly another drama to watch but nonetheless it's good to get confirmation of that
I guess my experience must not match others', fair enough

At least you can admit it. Things I've needed a printer for in recent months, off the top of my head:

- Filing a reimbursement claim for going to an out-of-network healthcare provider.

- Filing a reimbursement claim for contact lenses.

- Filing legal paperwork with the county clerk.

- Getting a certified death certificate.

- Passport renewal.

- Change of address without paying a fee.

- Letter to the local postmaster.

- Paperwork for claiming an inheritance through a probate court.

- Printing a shipping label.

- Filing a zoning application.

- Life insurance forms.

The more you adult, the more you discover that you still need paper.
> 97%+ employees donating to the Democrats

97% of Twitter (US?) employees donated to the Democrats? Is it normal for approximately 100% of your staff to donate to a party? This seems quite odd to me.
> edit 2 since im not allowed to reply to you @dang

You're allowed to reply to me just fine. Your account is rate-limited because you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle and ignoring our requests to stop. That's against the rules for good reason: it destroys what this site is supposed to be for. We ban accounts that do it, and you know what else? despite every ideologue's passionate perception, we do so regardless of which ideology they're wedded to.

Normally I'd take the rate limit off, at least temporarily, since there's nothing you're saying that doesn't have a straightforward refutation, and I like answering criticisms and trusting readers to make up their own minds. However, I have to meet a friend for dinner in 5 minutes and probably won't be able to look in on this thread for a few hours. Since you've already posted a bunch of false and/or misleading things (starting with "Every effort will be taken to suppress this story" and downhill from there), I think it prudent to wait until I'm free to respond.
This is just how the industry seems to be now. It’s gotten really bad over the last five years. If it isn’t broken, people aren’t touching code, and there aren’t enough people to do the work anyhow.
No, I know from personal experience
How about the fact that they knew their justified reason for blocking the content, hacked materials, was an utter farce, and yet they kept on trucking along with bald faced lies?

What's the point of a public moderation policy if the internal policy is to do whatever you want?
Most use cases do not need triple redundancy with geographic redundancy. If you really do need this, just order this and use Wasabi as well ($6/TB, pricing below) and you will get all that along with having cross-provider redundancy.

The whole point of this is that government is already interfering in speech.

This one specifically is pretty strong IMO (Biden team telling Twitter to manipulate speech):

Yes yes, someone has already said something about one of them being a dick pic, remove that one, whatever. But do you think they are ALL dick picks? This email is one out of many.
Is there a smoking gun here that points the blame to any officials representing the party, as opposed to bad decisions made by twitter employees on their own bias?

I find the tweetstorm format to be not particularly coherent, and I haven’t followed the story closely enough to know who the actors are, but Ro Khanna (a Democrat) is one of the names I recognize and he seems to be against the censoring.
Book looks good, shovelling the subscription at me was annoying and of course I used a throwaway address and unsubscribed immediately. It's actually probably a newsletter I wouldn't mind getting but the way it was done feels too spammy. I have Markus Winand's book SQL Performance Explained, actually paid for the download, and came away feeling cleaner. I do hear something from him through his mailing list once in a great while, and that is fine. I hope he comes out with another book someday.
Sounds extremely profitable. While you can end-to-end encrypt things so it all looks like noise, you'll want to send nonsense data constantly just to make sure you can hide real data when you need to without tipping anyone off.

Like an HF numbers station, but you have to pay for every transmission.
Exclusive: Twitter exec says moving fast on moderation as harmful content surges
You mean like when he committed perjury testifying to Congress that "[Apple App Store] guidelines are transparent and applied equally to developers of all sizes and in all categories"? Or how he keeps marketing iMessage as "end-to-end encrypted" while Apple continues to hold the encryption keys to the overwhelming majority of user messages and regularly decrypts them for law enforcement purposes? Or how Apple continuously bends over for the Chinese government, handing over complete control of all data in iCloud for Chinese accounts?
Any laws “solving” this would actually be first amendment violations.
> is roughly as offensive as the conversations at every job site that constructed all your houses, every field that grew your vegetables, and every rig that pumped the oil for your car. .... Those people are out there...

I'm trying to understand what you are saying with that. What are you implying? Please be more specific. Because it sounds like you are painting with a very broad brush and making a lot of assumptions about great swaths of society.
Did you miss the part where it was driven by “connections” and 97%+ Twitter employee donations were to Democrats?
From a country with five viable parties: this picking sides thing, or even being a “moderate” is just weird and kind of horrifying how normal the populace thinks it is. It’s not normal. People should be FREAKING OUT that their governmental system is in such bad shape. They’re too busy cheering for whichever tribe they’re in.

All of politics being one dimensional is one of the biggest lies ever.
If evil is in Buddha as part of his/her nature, why not anything else including human invention.
Dealing with a large number of DMCA takedown requests should not be much of a problem. They just need to:

1. Provide a form for copyright owners to use to request a takedown of material they claim is infringing. When the form is submitted verify that all the required fields have been filled in.

2. Take down the content claimed by the form submitted, and notify the user who posted the content. The provider does not need to try to figure out if the material claimed really infringes the claimant's copyright.

3. Provide a form for the user to submit a counterclaim. If the user does not submit a counterclaim, there is nothing more to do.

4. If the user submits a counterclaim, restore the taken down content, and notify the party that requested the takedown. The provider does not have to try to evaluate the merits of the counterclaim, such as whether or not the use was fair use.

If the claimant still wants the material taken down they have to take it up with the user, such as by suing them. The provider, having followed the DMCA procedure given above, is protected by the DMCA safe harbor.

It only gets hard when a site wants to use some system of their own, like YouTube does, instead of DMCA. Due to the nature of user created content on YouTube and how YouTube is monetized it is better for them if something that infringes gets licensed and stays up, so they have deals with major content distributors to encourage that.

For a site like Twitter, where the user content is small text posts instead of longer videos that can have ads within them, I don't think they need more than the DMCA procedure.
AI Weiwei on China's Protests
Even if they're defensive weapons only? I think Reagan's star wars program was cancelled only because the Russian threat was not as big anymore. Not because of weapons in space concerns.

FWIW only WMDs are really banned in space.
A day of deliberation is not a strong culture of censorship.
Incredibly embarrassing that anyone thinks this crap is important.

Hunter Biden is not an elected official! Who gives a shit. If this were about like, Anthony Weiner, maybe it would have the potential to be an interesting story, but this isn't even close.
Apparently Republicans are all for weapons in space...

Humans have access to much better thinking abilities than art AIs do.

e.g. SD2 prompted with "not a cat" produces a cat, and "1 + 1" doesn't produce "2".
Has anyone else released an all-electric commercial Semi truck in any timeframe?
Nope, clearly you're in the other political camp if you want twats at Twitter to not manipulate voting /s
It is not even slightly odd. Everybody from the lowest pleb working at any company is made very aware that emails, messages, and any communication that goes through company systems or computers or phones are not private, and may be accessed by the company at any time for any reason, or be subject to subpoena by third parties.

> Maybe twitter's policies were bad, and applied inconsistently. But there is no clear evidence that they explicitly favored one party, and to be honest- I don't really care if they do. If Elon thinks this is some sort of big shock that will cause people to get excited.... I can't really see why.

Authoritarians love the idea of corporations subservient to government being used as a tool of the state to crack down on human rights. Lots of people don't see a problem with it.
Light displayed on computer monitors are not linear, instead follow a power law transformation, also known (less precisely) as a non-linear transfer function. Pixels should only be stored in gamma (non-linear) space for final display; all math on them should be performed in linear space instead.

sRGB has a badly defined gamma space of an encoding of { [0-15] (linear), [16-255] (power of 2.4 over [0-239] with an offset of 16) } with a decoding of 2.2 (but explicitly taking into account "dark room" ambient lighting, not the actual display response). This is often quoted as "power of 2.2 encoding and decoding", and this has never been correct. For modern viewing conditions with a 100 nits monitor in an ambient condition of "bright room", the proper interpretation of sRGB is to read as "actual monitor response of 2.4", which leads to....

bt1886 defines this as 2.4 encoding combined with a 2.2 and 2.4 decoding where the crossover point is calculated in a way that takes into account actual black levels observed on the device to maintain perceptual quality while avoiding black and white crush (devices with actually zero black (ex: CRT, Plasma, OLED) would just be pure 2.4 decoding). This allows all commercial content (NTSC, PAL, and BT709/BT2020) to display favorably no matter how badly it was mastered originally and no matter how bad the viewing conditions actually are.

BBC, taking into account "ye average display over the past 30 years", encodes as 2.35 to take into account NTSC, PAL, 2.2, 2.4, and actually-sRGB displays. This is arguably the most correct approach: bt1886 and sRGB/bt709 on displays that are too dark will be too dark but perceptually correct on displays that are too bright; "encode as 2.2" (which is still wrong) will be very dark on every display; 2.35 will look correct on "wrong, but too dark", "wrong, but too light", "actually sRGB", and "actually bt1886" monitors.

There also is a third (fourth?) standard of 2.6 that is purely found in extremely low display light (40 nits or less), zero ambient completely blacked out conditions, used for movie theatres, due to perceptual changes in human eyesight; sRGB, bt1886, and 2.35 would all be too dark and/or too undersaturated here otherwise.
Democrats / Clinton shut down the original Star Wars program because they favored arms control (arguing Star Wars was illegal under the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty)

That treaty expired in 2002 and then Elon went to Russia to buy some ICBMs...
Yes, because it's multimodal, and because you can think of new things to look at and go out in the world to look at them.
You’re conflating a few things there.

It surely isn’t 97% of Twitter employees donating to Democrats. It’s 97% of donations by Twitter employees going to Democrats. I’d imagine the actual percentage of Twitter employees who donate to anyone is pretty low.

Plus you’re then drawing a direct line from that to access to execs. IMO that needs specific evidence. Plenty of tech execs are well connected to both parties, because they’re, you know, rich elites.
Anyone ever tried flagging those obvious scam accounts with ridiculously obviously fake photos (or, at least misappropriated from some aspiring models insta account).

Even when it's blatantly obvious Facebook always tells me that their account doesn't break their community standards...
Why Russia, china or even North Korea cannot do that as well.

Laying the groundwork to beat a spam filter, probably. If a series of emails are read and not deleted, that does not seem like spam.
I moved from Ubuntu to Debian because of snaps. I keep apt and the majority of my knowledge of how to run the system, but no snap.
Cook County MN is a little over 3000 square miles, half of which is water, and has a population a little over 5000 people. I own a patch of forest there. It has gigabit fiber service.

The local power company is a co-op because none of the usual power companies wanted to serve the area. About twenty years ago the co-op decided that this whole "internet" thing is probably not a fad, and they started pulling fiber everywhere through their existing utility corridors whenever they had to touch something. It was a good idea. It is _intensely_ rural, yet high speed internet access is now ubiquitous.
IMO it's just new for the sake of newness. Apt and dpkg work fine, but some folks feel they have to reinvent the wheel, I guess to beef up their resume or be more like MS or Apple. If they want to write MS or Apple style software, they need to just go and work for those companies.

Apparently some people think that Linux should be just as deterministic and user limiting as proprietary software. I don't understand it, personally.
That part just shows that even explosive news like this is really just PR work. Pretty much every major news story can be reduced to “who is willing to finally talk about X and what do they want to convey?”
G-Suite is not a Microsoft 365 competitor. Only businesses with limited needs seem to use G-Suite, and theu supplement it with Microsoft software a fair bit to make using G-Suite palatable.

I say this as a wholly anti-Microsoft person. Even Nextcloud is doing better at delivering features to small and medium businesses than G-Suite.
Yeah i never knew but figured their is no other reason to do this than to make you feel pressured to buy
I think if your focus is on the discourse, you’re right.

But I bet you the majority of people who saw this item on the front page aren’t interested in comments and this is a form of news. To be aware that this is a thing.
Politicians should never be able to directly influence the moderation of social media items they find politically unfavorable; I don't care which party does it. I can understand something that involves direct threats/calls to violence, but that's about it. Anyone that has used Twitter for some time knows the moderation was often not all that even, not just by pure political means but also threats of violence etc were always treated differently depending on who they were aimed at.

They are rather polite, but they also have good residential trash pickup.

In this case, anyway. It's actually pretty difficult to get rid of some things, so people can build up a lot of junk at home - Marie Kondo's books in Japan actually have extra sections on how to get rid of it.
I've tried a few easy-levels and it passed them all. I tried one medium and it completely failed.

I especially liked its solution for two sum; first it gave the O(N^2) solution and then it gave the O(N) solution. With good explanations for both.
Several Republicans, particularly Kevin McCarthy, have already admitted the real purpose of the Benghazi hearings was to hurt Hillary Clinton's poll numbers, so yeah. Same shit, different Democrat.
That’s all fine as long as I get to decide what is considered I democratic or misanthropic. :-)
IEEE, and also ACM. I'm pretty sure both vendors has ~10 different magazines covering different subtopics. We get copies of Communications of the ACM delivered here.
"Left-bias" is putting it mildly. It's becoming increasingly clear that twitter censored certain people/content at the behest of the Biden administration.
I started asking scam callers if they're slaves. Nobody has responded yet, they just hang up

Doing something called "piping curl to bash" is not a good idea. It's like trying to do something on someone else's computer without asking permission first. It puts you in the place of being in charge, even though it isn't your computer. Doing this can cause trouble and make the person who owns the computer very unhappy with you.

Behold, the ground thy code doth touch,

Alone thou approachest the throne divine,
