Kanary | Backend Engineering Lead | Seattle, Remote (US or Canada) PST Preferred | Comp Estimate: $150k base + 3% Equity

We’re using large scale browser automation and LLMs to scrub your private info (home address, phone number, emails) off the public internet.

We’re a team of 5, backed by top pre-seed VCs like YC and 2048 and privacy leaders like Mozilla. 2 years since our first raise, we’re funded by our customers.

Titles at our stage don’t matter much. We’re looking for a strong engineer to help grow the product and the team as we respond to rapid customer growth. The most challenging work at Kanary is backend development. You’ll own projects like:

- experiment with novel approaches for anonymously traversing the web (captcha solving, browser fingerprinting, residential IPs). Embrace the cat and mouse game of working against the bad guys.
- performance engineering - identify and implement optimizations across application code (API, serializers, data models), database and deployment configuration. We use python and django on our backend.
- minimize QA time and code repetition by working with generative models and extending our templating language using Go.

Compensation depends on experience and potential but we aim to be fair and competitive with equity and salary. If this sounds like fun, reach out to our founder, rachel[at]kanary.com.

It would be helpful to get some numbers as to how radioactive this boar meat is. Bacon is a known minor carcinogen, would bacon made from these boars be 100 times as carcinogenic as normal bacon? 1% more?

I think they're saying "When human programmers have mastered a programming language, it makes it easier for them to learn a new programming language", but... I'm not entirely sure.

Electromagnet should be on that list. It's the experiment that launched my interest (and won me a prize at the county fair). Safe too, since it can be done with a simple battery.

Only in that it doesn't incorporate gravity. And given the extremely low energy scale of gravity, it's unlikely to make a difference here.

There are extensions to the Standard Model being used to search for dark matter, but until one of those is actually found experimentally, you can't say that it makes the Standard Model incomplete. It's sound within its domain -- aggravatingly so, since that makes it really hard to figure out what's next.
This area has an abundance of water. An over abundance of water. In fact any rational analysis would conclude that water is the main natural hazard of this area.
AWD only helps with acceleration (and acceleration if you need to get out of a ditch). It slightly hampers most driver's ability to control the car around a slick curve. It's a nice perk, but why is it a hard requirement for you?
A WiFi signal can improve a lot by changing to a channel that is not as overcrowded. You will likely need a prosumer WiFi device (e.g. Ubiquiti) or then something which supports OpenWRT. Consider also WiFi 6E -- if you carry your signal on a new spectrum then reception likely improves as well.

If cat cable is too thick, there's also the possibility to run SFP fiber instead.

Like many decisions in nutrition, any choice has both advantages and disadvantages.

Judging from the results of this paper, avoiding antioxidants may decrease your risk of death because some undetected cancer has grown faster before being discovered, but it may increase your risk of death due to some cardiovascular disease.
Many regular events are scheduled "indefinitely" into the future. Do you really think that when the US changed its DST rules a couple of years back, any of the regularly scheduled weekly meetings were happening according to the old rules?
When I moved in 8 years ago, our laundry service accepted coins or cards. There was a nice box on the wall where you swiped your card, and then you could activate up to four machines at a time, which was great, because I usually ran three loads at once. They also had a fantastic web-based machine monitor page, which was accessible by anyone from anywhere, with no auth required.

Then they "upgraded" and every machine got a little bluetoothy card reader dongle on it and a QR code, and they "upgraded" the box on the wall so that it stopped accepting cards. So that's fine, I guess, but it was a pain in the ass to start 3 machines at once, because now I needed to run my card 3 separate times, and hope that the readers were all working OK. There was also a mobile app, but the Android Lollipop tablet I had never worked with the app. You needed to activate both WiFi and BT (and it would force those on) but it still didn't work, despite my valiant efforts to contact their Support idiots. They also shut down the good monitoring page, and the only way to monitor machines was to pay for a load and use the app only. That sucked. A major use case for monitoring was to see who was using machines already, before I lugged everything downstairs!

So I got a new Android 10 phone and the app worked okay. I didn't really use the app. Then I noticed that the laundry room was really going downhill. Machines went out of order and weren't fixed. The same with pipes and such. Seeing the hand writing on the wall, I began to outsource to a wash'n'fold service, which has worked great.

Then a few months ago, landlady announced that we were switching laundry services, so that was all swept away and new machines were installed. There is a new app. The little box on the wall now sells reloadable cards, too. And you can pick those up at the leasing office. I sort of used the app just to test it. Obviously, there's no world-readable monitoring page on the web. Thankfully, I think the machines are still accepting quarters. But I'm still going with my outsourced hassle-free laundry.
Automatically battery saving mode when battery charge drops below 50%
It's not, though. Free extensions are most likely to sell out. Notice what the author did not say: "If you can find the extension's sources, you can be sure it's not malware."
It's not odd because the fundamental issue with having an agenda is precisely that you will never buckle because your goal is not to try and fix the cause for concern but instead to push and push until you get what you want.

To give you an example:

Let's say you want to ban or put up several restriction in the road where you live because of playing kids or elderly people.

In this case you're not against the idea of cars existing and you main focus is to see a resolution that suits the concern at hand, no cars on the road or at the very least a compromise (speed limits, roadblocks, etc.) to that specific road.

A person with an agenda to say ban all cars will completely agree with your concern, however they will further push and push and demand the total ban and even push for banning associations with cars (if we take it to a more fanatical degree), because it might "entice" people to build their own cars.

And in both cases there might be studies and data that support both of your claims (traffic accident statistics, studies conducted by your department of transportation, news papers documenting murder/death/injury caused by cars, etc.) but even then it does not make the anti-car arguments untouchable.

With specifically using anti-porn from an agenda perspective, they do not want to stop at real issues with porn, they want it banned and criminalized - no matter if there are nuances.

---

I do agree that there probably are cases as you state of trafficking victims casting as porn stars.
In fact in Russia it's far, far worse than that.

But I would also argue at the same time that even then, the fundamental issue isn't the foundation of porn, but instead the lack of society acceptance and subpar treatment and scrutiny of the industry.

Instead I would argue that what you seek is a similar push towards is what the Labor movement did for blue collar workers which is no exploitation, no coercion and full rights to unionization and labor rights enshrined in law.

Plus ending the stigma about "sex", not to the point where you can show up naked at a funeral, but at least we should treat porn actors/actresses and prostitutes with the same respect and dignity as the common worker ought to be.

If the Romans/Greeks/Egyptians and more could marvel at the natural state of man and woman, I think we can also do this without casting judgement as if these statues were a symbol of sin and degeneracy.

And I do agree with you there's a very unhealthy narrative within porn about how we ought to look at men and women and how we ought to be "judged" based on sexual characteristic (which sometimes is beyond our control), but I think it's a lost cause to throw in the towel and go scorched earth (not trying to make the claim that you are, just that it's all too common for anti-'anything' to move in that zealous direction).

One argument I've heard is say for instance that the meta story of porn movies have all but disappeared (the cheesy acting and cheesy plot) and instead shifted to hyper-accelerate instead onto the "act" or "object" and as such we've moved away from seeing the experience/plot as erotic to only merely the "perfect" sexual attributes.
Bluey is by far my kids' favorite show, FWIW.
Incinerators for waste have much stronger emission controls/scrubbers than power plants (eg the coal burning shit the Germans love) for… some reason I don’t actually understand.
> Well, Russia isn't entitled to anything. As a European I wouldn't want corrupt countries like Ukraine and Russia accepted in without _deep_ reform.

Well, Europe is not entitled to anything either. With that attitude we ended up where we are.
I don't think OP was trying to advocate any particular action, merely pointing out that a real and serious problem exists at the heart of our democracy.

Expecting people who point out a problem to also fix that problem in a single social media comment is a little unrealistic, I think, and generally not something people ask in good faith.
You can’t modify ToS without asking the user’s consent. See Sifuentes v. Dropbox, Inc. (20-cv-07908-HSG).

It's going to be interesting to see how stocks swing based on the uptake of these drugs. Apparently the bariatric surgery companies are getting hit hardest/first. Junk food and alcohol would be further down the line.

And of course, if it turns out that there's some unknown danger/downside to these drugs, things will come roaring back as the fickle public abandons them.
> listen for a type of event, do something, emit another.

If everything is an event, and you can send any types of events, then you can trivially saturate the network, the clients, and the relays with bogus events.

> but are rapidly moving into uncharted territory - people are building music distribution apps, ai agents, and so on.

None of this is uncharted territory. Uncharted for Nostr, maybe. But time and again anything that comes out of crypto shows that people building this stuff have literally zero knowledge of what has been there in the real world before them.

Yes, including "we send events, and listen to them". Kafka alone is 12 years old this year.
What I don't get is why it would be outsourced at all. Run a team that manages the entire SDLC. If they mess it up, they are maintaining it and have a reason to solve the problem.

How did people manage to convince government that software is this one-time thing you just pay for and then it works forever?
My understanding is that those scenarios are the exception, and finding obscure contracts that have gone undiscovered isn’t really an untapped fount of free, missed, opportunity.

That said, aggregators like bonfire etc. can get you pretty far if that’s your strategy!
It's not in the eye of the beholder. It's blocking which is not in the control of the recipient. There is nothing wrong with a filter that tries to block anti-vaxxers, as long as you're explicitly aware that it's happening and can freely and easily turn it off.

I mean, this seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" complaint for the browser makers. Hacker News is constantly bitching that browsers are too slow, too complicated, use too much memory, the attack surface is too big, etc. Imagine how much worse that would be if they also had to support every possible use case instead of shunting a lot of that off into extensions.
