CoverWhale.com | Multiple roles | New York City (Onsite)| https://www.coverwhale.com/careers/

We’re using technology to make the world safer - starting with truck insurance.

Most injuries and fatalities on roadways are completely preventable and many deaths on our roads involve a large commercial vehicle like a tractor-trailer.

We’re improving safety while saving safety-conscious drivers money.

We’re redefining “insurtech” and have the insurance loss ratios and portfolio of thousands of active drivers to prove it.

Key roles (NYC):
* Product
* Engineering (Python/Go/PHP)
* DevOps

We’re growing fast and our team sees the benefit of getting people together. These are mostly on-site roles in NYC (4+ days/week). We are competitive++ on compensation as well as equity.

If you’re ready for a change, passionate, talented and have a ‘history of delivery’ we’d love to talk!

If you think joining us is right for you and us and want to discuss with me further please reach out : Dan at Cover Whale dot com

Happy New Year!

As they say: better the devil you know.
And to be fair he's not that wrong

The real annoyance is that we need a "password manager" in the first place

You wouldn't need to worry (too much - as long it's not a weak password) about password reuse if websites abided by security best-practices and wouldn't leak lists of weakly hashed password. salt + pepper + good amount of rounds proper hashing function: good luck

And to be fair the browser ones work great. Another one that works great is a paper notebook

And again, it all depends on your threat models. Using very complicated passwords and 2FAing your password manager will only ensure that you'll get locked out of your accounts sooner or later (unless you have a target painted on your back for some reason)
Why do you think it is the worst on the market?
For alcohol, DME and other single entity fuels you may need to change the engine, but synthetic hydrocarbons really are a drop in replacement.
Calling Airbnb was the right thing to do, I’d probably go the same route here - ask them what is needed to make the feedback acceptable, point out that the host doesn’t disclose the need for a cash deposit in the house rules and you want to warn people. That itself is worthy of discussion - anything not disclosed in house rules tends to get disregarded by Airbnb, and they generally don’t want money changing hands directly because they don’t get their 18%. Otherwise everyone would be listing their properties for $1 and requiring a cash tip on arrival. ;)

Airbnb is expected this year to make changes so prices are more transparent and this plays into that. Things have been trending towards the car rental model where you can rent a car for $1 a day but by the time you add in all the fees it’s closer to $200/day but you don’t find that out until the very last stage of the checkout. Airlines used to do the same thing then ~6 years ago they were forced to disclose everything up front.

I’m planning to list a place on Airbnb soon, am going to bake all the fees into the base price except for unauthorized guests, pets, and smoking - which are only there as a deterrent.

Well, they're ruined because of zoning (and tax law but that's a whole other story)

In theory zoning is supposed be in residents interest to stop things like fracking from happening next to playgrounds (it doesn't but again that's another story). Cities follow zoning law to the letter when it comes to new apartments.

Airbnb repurposes residential zoned property as commerical hotels. If we're going to take zoning seriously this shouldn't be allowed.

Good: you did your research and discovered that Samsung's a mostly shit company. We already knew this of course, that was the whole point of using Samsung as example for "do your homework first, then judge the company".
True but not for new projects. Legacy software has quite a long life span.
Will note that having a license can be useful outside of ham, too. E.g. if you're a hiker it can be handy to be able to carry a "real" radio with you. The license test doesn't cost much and is super easy (the entire pool of questions/answers is posted online and there are study guides).

>What makes you sure of that other than the base assumption that that's what police should do so that's what they are doing?

I know something of Chicago neighborhoods where University of Chicago and University of Illinois-Chicago have private police.

College students are essentially transients - those who live on urban campuses are typically not homeowners, not car-owners, and not in married/domestic partner/young children living situations, since they are usually going to be age 25 or younger. What other types of crimes are they going to be subject to that require police intervention, other than the ones I mentioned?

Granted, there are also faculty/staff who receive police service, but probably many fewer than there are students, and not all of them live on campus.
If you rephrase it, kind of sounds bad. What bothers you about C++ is that it's mostly experienced people now?
It sounds like one of the big problems with police are the incentives, and private security is doing a "better" job because their incentive is to reduce the actual effects of crime and not the metrics used to measure its rate/reduction (like arrests, indictments, convictions, reports, etc).
I have a very busy social life (so this isn't me being a introvert) and hate forced recreation with coworkers. I don't hate them, but we're not friends either and I have stuff to do.

My guess is that management pushes this for loyalty. If all you do is work and get paid you're likely to exit the first year they don't give you a competitive raise. If you're part of a family then you'll stay and even trust the ceo when he says that no layoffs are coming.
How do you know it was downvoted? I don’t see a way to tell what kind of votes a comment got.
Thank you! Happy 2023.
Should we care about people who need never exist?
This would not be the first bad decision YC has made in choosing a president. Ralston's ego and appalling treatment of a female college on a YC video shortly before he was appointed president was infuriating.
Also plenty of examples among athletes: Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, Kenenisa Bekele, Pele, Messi, Eliud Kipchhoge to name a few
I used the term as a general reference to applications not receiving full reviews. Given the tens of thousands of applications YC receives, I have a sense there's a filtration layer that is quick and, for lack of a better term, somewhat blind. I am not being critical of this at all.
I wouldn't say they're stupid. If they find value in someone's cold outreach, they'll reply, otherwise they'll ignore it. But the point is that many engineers think any cold outreach automatically spam while most people don't. Just one more reason not to make engineer specific tools that require sales, it's an uphill battle.
Probably not, since you need to compute the activations of unknown inputs and there could be infinitely many variations of them
Has anyone else reached the point of annoyance where they feel that moving to egui + WASM makes more sense?

At least the app won't be married to the browser.
"a slow AJAX call"? What is even meant by that. Async JS is not slow. It's only limited by the user's connection speed and amount of data to be transferred and server response speed. This is a few dozen milliseconds but can be optimized down to sub 10 ms (the server and latency is the bottleneck not JS). A full page reload will of course take longer because instead of one tiny JSON object you have to send the full HTML back down the wire, and the screen also completely repaints and sets up a whole new DOM structure in memory for the same components.
According to this article: maybe not, since they used an unmodified engine.
The hackaday community's mooltipass kind of solves this- puts passwords on an external device with a smartcard. The OS never accesses the whole breadth of it, just what's exposed by the hardware.

I think that's the right approach, but I'm not sure I like the hardware. Something I was thinking about was using a pi zero in a small box, that just does something like emulate a keyboard for password-pushing. Give it a small screen and small keyboard for UI.
> Honorable mention for docker convincing windows and macos developers to write software inside slow virtual machines for no reason.

There's plenty of reasons; it's a compromise like everything else. You trade away some performance for portability; the ability to run the same code and know your environment is identical each run is a significant pro.

Docker wouldn't have gotten to where it is for no reason.
Yes, they are. They are basing their argument by comparing Rust Result against C++ exceptions in the context of general error handling whereas I pointed out that there are actually two classes of errors and both of which are addressed their own appropriate mechanisms in both Rust and C++.

What parent comment tried to (wrongly) imply, and your comment as well, is that exceptions in C++ are (commonly) used as a control flow mechanism. And they are not.
Bitwarden has worked really well for me and my wife to share passwords to common services (daycare, shared email, etc) and it has been well worth the money. I've used 1Password and LastPass in the past but Bitwarden has been the best experience I've had thusfar.

> AirBnB's entire business is predicated on skirting regulation.

From time to time you spot underappreciated comments here. This is one of them

AirBnB, Lyft, Uber, etc - their entire business model is predicated on skirting regulations.

Then people are surprised they don't keep honest negative reviews? Why would a company which is knowingly violating rules care about your negative review?

They make money from hosts putting their places up for rent, not from those renting and if a negative review causes a listing to be removed... Clearly it is far more economical to remove the review instead.
Much like the other commenter: yep, Samsung's not a good company, making it all the more appropriate to use as example for "judge the company on all its products, not just one".
The publish-subscribe/observer/mediator pattern is perfectly fine for state management, and doesn't need a framework. At most, a small-ish library, but you can also re-implement it yourself quite easily.

Reading your comment, I have the impression you took it as "there shouldn't be any state management necessary", instead of "state management doesn't need a framework" sense.
HOAs are the most local form of democratic government that most Americans interact with. They have an elected board, which you can run for if you're a member (owner), and an amendable constitution. In every state that I'm aware of, you have full access to the budget and all meeting minutes. I've even seen recall elections and funded campaigns. Democracy is never perfect, but for any place where I'm living in close quarters to my neighbors (e.g. not in a rural area with 20-acre lots) I'd 1000x rather an HOA than either anarchy or some builder-run "committee."
Hey everyone, I just published an article about Prometheus - a tool for collecting metrics. I used it to track usage of a SaaS platform I'm building, so I'd know how much exactly to bill users by the end of each month. In my opinion it's important to be aware of Prometheus, since it's the stepping stone that led to the creation of the OpenMetrics standard. Happy reading, let me know if you have any thoughts or questions on my article.
Sure the learning curve demands more but the payoff is worth it. Monads, despite all the tutorials out there, are not that difficult a concept... once you learn it. It's frustrating to teach because of this. Like most things in mathematics it takes some effort to learn and pays off in spades. There are a ton of abstractions you get with learning monads and the rules of how they compose are consistent. It goes a long, long way. I'm better for having gotten through it.

Most abstractions in other languages though? Ad-hoc mish-mash of half-baked ideas with no laws and poor specifications. Each one you learn is absolutely useless when moving to the next program.

Monads are the same everywhere you go. Just like algebra.

> Why do people feel homeowners should effectively subsidize development by letting their value tank?

How does subsidization come into this? Just relax the zoning, make it simple to get permits and stop blocking everything at community meetings.

> A lot of urban “designers” just want to put apartments everywhere, but it isn’t a good strategy. It certainly isn’t organic

Agreed. The planning and homogenous construction that gets often pushed for is a problem. This in part can be addressed by smaller parcels. Order Without Design, book and podcast, go into this and how some cities solved it. Somehow real estate and housing tempts everyone to throw out all the lessons we learned from communism about the perils of central planning.

I'm an outsider but still sceptical as NASA and Google turned to Dwave (circa 2013) and we saw pretty much nothing since.
Because a huge amount of value in AirBnB is its reviews.

That’s how you’re supposed to know where is worth staying and where isn’t.

If those can’t be trusted, then it’s an inferior B&B platform with doctored reviews that you can’t trust.

My advice to those reading this is just to get a hotel unless there is no alternative.

AirBnB was fine for a bit when it was cheaper than alternatives, but, in my experience, it’s now as expensive (if not more) as the hotels they’re trying to replace.

There’s usually a massively inferior experience when compared to Hotels the majority of the time. At least, that’s been my experience.

I don’t know what kind of bubble you live in but tech workers are one of the highest paid professions and even there millionaires are relatively uncommon unless you’re cherry-picking that to only the Silicon Valley subset.

Having a median net worth of $1M puts you right around the 90th percentile currently.

https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/2020-bulletin-ch...

It’s also worth mentioning that this is heavily biased by the real estate bubble. That’s important because classic usage of “millionaire” implied more liquid assets than the average boomer has when they’re sitting on a house in a nice location with limited options for safely tapping into that value.
> by “funding corporate ability to murder” (my quotes re sentiment)

I don't know about the discussion, but what I'm taking away from the article is actually what policing could be if the shield of immunity that fuels the "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude is taken away.
> will be in actually helping the drug problem…

while this should be obvious to anyone who has seen the camps, we still get articles that claim "the obvious answer to homelessness" is just more housing. Of course we need more housing but how do cheaper rents convince addicts to change their lifestyle?

it's the conventional argument that's being brought up all the time while claiming "everyone's ignoring it".

Only, I don't use ints as "flags," so you're doing it wrong. And you're using the slippery slope fallacy, assuming that I'm a DRY absolutist. I'm not. Like I said, it's not always a good thing, and you can definitely overdo it.

The valid complaint about the implementation I show would be that the do_bar logic is at the very top with no preamble, and it may be simpler for the caller to simply call bar(x) in that case. But adding necessary-looking complexity would detract from the clarity of the implementation (and damn c++'s verbosity, it already looks like hot garbage IMHO)
As someone who often implements their own authentication for backend services, I follow the advice to use scrypt or Argon2.

Argon2 is a bit of a PITA though because it needs to be re-hashed sometimes.

> just for a basic example, there is no mechanical system we have any idea how to build that could move any amount of the Earth's mantle in any way, since the mechanisms would simply melt

You know stuff cools down, right? Power loss to radiation is proportional to T^4.

> You also don't need to be a materials scientist to know that you can't get water or oxygen out of rock with sheer mechanical force.

Good thing you're putting words into my mouth, then. Hint 1: How do we do this for aluminium? Hint 2: I didn't say "mechanical" for this.

> Your estimate for the energy of the sun takes into account all of the energy sent in all directions in all spectra

I know, and I said as much with different words.

Do you perchance know what a mirror is? Or how light they are? How little of (insert-planet-here)'s mass you need to turn into PV and/or mirrors to get to covering the planet, how little time it takes to use those to gather the energy needed to run a launch loop to get a second planet-tiling-quantity to orbit?

That's why I preemptively made the point that you're ignoring here.
Please excuse the poor grammar, English isn't my first language.
For #3, this rule always fascinated/confused me the most.
How did us humans (animals formed from evolution/survival of the fittest) create these abstract 'rules' or fictions we all just collectively follow. Was there some sort of cumulation of ideas of the past woven into novel ones to make an archetypal epoch?
Any insight/book recommendation to bridge this knowledge gap is much appreciated.
My rule for home automation is that the automation should merely augment the existing stuff and degrade gracefully in case of failure.
To my knowledge, it is an open challenge to find real-world problem instances where existing quantum annealers outperform state-of-the-art classical alternatives. It's even hard to find _extremely contrived families of instances_ where practical computational benefits can be observed with quantum annealing. I recently contributed to one such benchmarking manuscript [1], which may indicate future promise as the number of qubits in quantum annealers continues to increase.

Anyway, as a result of that experience, I'm skeptical of the benchmarking efforts that led these two companies to the conclusion that quantum annealing is more cost-effective than dropping in a classical alternative as the inner optimization solver. D-Wave even has some reasonably efficient, open-source algorithms that can be used as a point of comparison (e.g., [2]). I'd be interested in reading more about the companies' benchmarks, as this article is very light on details.
