Frontend Engineer Needed to Help Change the World

My name's Dayne, I'm a programmer from South Africa currently living in Canberra, Australia. Last year my brother and I started working on a project with the potential to radically shift culture in the direction of openness and accountability.

In the last 6 months we’ve built an incredible team (including an ex Google & Quora senior programmer, and some great tech entrepreneurs and CEOs), completed our MVP designs, launched a prototype, and secured seed investment.

Our plan is to demonstrate traction in Australia over the next few months, and migrate to San Francisco in late 2015 or early 2016. Our company is already incorporated in Delaware, and we’re hoping that with traction and growth we’ll get accepted into YC’s next batch.

We’re looking for someone with exceptional skills and experience in:

- HTML5
- CSS
- AngularJS
- Bootstrap
- Ideally experience with: Grunt, TDD, Go, Cassandra (or other NoSQL).

Personality traits and experience we’re looking for:

- Hard working & 100% honest
- Passionate about freedom of speech & information. If you think that the EU's "Right to Be Forgotten" legislation is a good thing, or that Assange and Snowden are bad guys, you probably won't like what we're doing.
- Must be smart. We’re looking for someone who could have created the frontend for sites like AirBnB, Quora, etc. The interview process will include a programming and logic interview with an ex-Google senior programmer.
- Must show evidence of having worked on a project from start to finish.
- Extensive experience is not necessary - our priority is building a team of smart people who share our passion for Karma.
- Must be willing to relocate to San Francisco.

We are offering a salary as well as potential to earn equity in the company for the right applicant.
If you’re interested, please send a resume/CV/letter/demo to dayne@karma.wiki.

Thanks,
Dayne

These logos appear to relate specifically to development tools & libraries. Facebook is a tech product, but not typically considered a development tool/library. Similarly, you don't see Twitter, G+, Reddit, Instagram, etc. logos.
Gerrit and GitHub provide two different paradigms. If you want a straightforward answer, then yes Gerrit provides a number of extra features, but it isn't a replacement for GitHub.
So it turns out that there are several biological processes that allow for the human body to heal itself. These include our endogenous opioid system (which releases dopamine, etc). The placebo effect (which is much of alternative medicine) relies on this process.

In short, the placebo (or acupuncture, or holistic tinctures, or voodoo) allow your body to heal itself. For this to work there need to be at least 2 of the 3 following criteria in place:

A) Prior Conditioning (i.e. if you take tylenol and it helps, then one day you take a sugar pill, that you believe is tylenol, then the pain should still be reduced some).

B) Rational Beliefs around effectiveness (i.e. if it is painful or unpleasant it must be working. This is part of the reason medicine taste like medicine, when it could taste like candy)

C) Authority (Turns out, you can just give placebos to yourself. Someone must give the placebo permission for it to work. Further proof, that humans are weird).

Alternative medicine normally touches on all three of these criteria.
Those datasets aren't very robust, though. The sample visualizations provided with them are about the extent of analysis possible.
ugh so annoying to compile can someone make this easier
Nice! Also, "average touch typist: 58 wpm" Wat. I've never felt like a fast typist. Guess I'm better off than I thought.
I think I maybe just went too fast through that section. If that's the best place to learn it with an understanding of the language primitives, I'll just reread it.
It is simply that I found Racket to be the most pleasant and inviting to use. An all-in-one toolset, with a large and vigorously well documented standard library, and some of the best books on programming there are.

As a sometimes-aspiring language designer who'd already done one esolang before coming to Lisp, the language dev tools that Racket provides were also far too enticing to stay away from.

What places to visit in San Fran as a techie/nerd?
I'll be visiting SF for first time in about two weeks. I'm curious what are some cool places to visit? I'll definitely go to Computer Museum but it would be nice to hit two more places or so. I'm with my fiancee & her parents and we'll be there for three nights. We'll do the usual sightseeing too, I just wanted to see some nice places for technical person. Thanks!
I wouldn't consider the result of legal settlement to be a "donation". A donation is a voluntary transfer of money. Had craigslist received $1M from a settlement and then voluntarily sent EFF $1M without being specified to in the legal settlement, then that would be a donation. The correct interpretation is that the $1M transfer is part of a legal settlement to resolve a lawsuit. I haven't followed this lawsuit too closely, but it sounds like craigslist might not have had a "open-and-closed" case, hence the need to offer these amenable terms to sweeten the terms of surrender, and thus hasten the resolution.

"As part of the settlement, 3taps and its founder, Greg Kidd, have agreed to pay craigslist $1 million, all of which must then be paid by craigslist to the EFF, "
This is a remarkably content-free posting.

> People become corporate do-nothings because it’s easy to become disconnected from the act of creating when you’re at a big company. Even at the best big companies, employees can just do things that look like work that aren’t, and you wouldn’t be able to tell.

I’ve seen this at startups and big corporations. People seem to get fired for doing nothing productive with about the same frequency at both. What are some examples of do-nothingism that occurs at big successful corporations?

> Startups can’t survive blindly following buzzwords or whatever trend is hot because you actually have to know what’s coming in the future and be right. That’s all there is. If you chose the wrong market, or you’re wrong about what people want, then you’re toast.

In the age of the acquihire for failed startups, this is especially laughable. With plenty of money for early stage deals, and the likelihood of an acquihire or other soft landing if things go badly (followed by funding for a new idea a year or two later), it’s the best environment in years for startups to blindly follow trends and spout buzzwords.
Electron (Atom) based?!
Yeah, it does -- I'll let somebody who knows it better fill you in, but it really is night and day if you're serious about reviewing code. If you'd like to try a more powerful code review system than GitHub's to see what you're missing, without spending lots of time setting up and learning Gerrit, I'd recommend giving https://reviewable.io a whirl. (Disclosure: I built it.)
If she is cute, hit it. Enough said.
Other games have "roleplaying" servers as well. Notably, WOW does, but so do most MMORPG.
China won’t listen to West about genetically modifying the human embryo
They have made lots of functional changes in the past two years. Better image presentation; more sorts and filters specific to the category browsed. But before 2013 or so, it really was a POS 2000-era site. craiglook and padmapper, and others that put useful UIs over the dataset, did a real service to the platform and Craigslist destroys them.
Thanks -- already had 2 replies in 9 minutes!

(And to be clear -- this is for me to put the 'tool' in front of you, and see why you would/wouldn't use it)
"Nearby listings" doesn't work like I'd like it to. It'd be great to be able to choose from multiple craigslist areas and run searches on them, distinct of their proximity.

Hi Dayne! it's Lily!
Imagine if someone had sued Google for basically doing the same thing back in 1998. Would it exist today? Would we have this great quality search engine that has made our lives so much easier?
There may just be something wrong with your specific hardware and/or install of Mac. A company like Apple who sources so much hardware straight from manufacturers in China is bound to have some issues here and there. I've had a number of recent MacBook Pros and they've been fine... never seen a sudden restart. I'm even using the Developer Preview of El Capitan. Try exchanging it.
I don't get it - why did he fire you for doing what he wanted/needed for months?

Have you checked CL personals lately? All you'll find are chirping crickets.
Given the current rate of allocations, those will be gone within a month.

On the analogy of the architect ... It's probably wrong to say that "it was built on a shaky foundation that will collapse sooner rather than later" and it's more accurate to say that another architect or professional engineer might not be able to understand the intent behind the drawings/plans and thus make necessary changes without compromising the building's structural integrity.
Did you read TFA? They always directed users back to the original Craigslist posting, ergo, not undermining CL's business.
Any binary default is wrong and broken, period. It's especially wrong and broken to set that binary default to a server you have no control over. It's triply wrong and broken to set that binary default to a server you have no control over whose maintainer has asked that you not use in this way. At the very least, the systemd team should have the decency to document what this default is so that administrators trying to hunt down suspicious and/or unusual activity have some starting point to go from.

and—instead of being fired—I was just about to be offered a new job!
Yes; specifically, if the proposed settlement was "3taps will give Craigslist $1 million, which Craigslist will have no restrictions on", then 3taps might not have agreed to it.
I'm with you on the wording. The word "into" is ambiguous on its own and even more ambiguous used with "divide." There's a discussion of that here: http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/52296.html

As an example, a person can easily read "divide 24 into 6" as "divide 24 into 6 [parts]," i.e. 24/x = 6, x = 4 — as opposed to 6/24 = x, x = 0.25. This use is especially reinforced by everyday experiences like dividing a cake into eight slices.
Note that AirBnB's initial growth was largely built on Craigslist spam (spamming Craigslist's users, in direct violation of the site TOS).

I don't have the perspective yet to compare this to other works on OTP but this book may be of value to you: "Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP" [1]. It is co-authored by Francesco Cesarini, founder of Erlang Solutions and one of the master-class instructors.

I grew up with computing in the 70's and 80's, and I truly think the 90's were a period of devolution in the computer industry - desktop (Microsoft) computing came a long and gave computing to the masses, but the cost was that a lot of technical advances that were being made in the industry as a whole got swept under the covers - for various reasons, either it confused users, or Microsoft just didn't have the technology chops to get it into their OS, or whatever.

But I definitely think we make many, many advances in computing that get washed away by the mass-market mechanics required to get things out there in a way that satisfies the bean counters.

I remember being able to freeze/defrost process on MIPS Risc/OS back in the day .. I even used it as part of my development/test process, since security policies in the computer rooms I was working in the 80's meant that some systems (operational) were not allowed to have compilers - the only way I could test my new build was to run the process, freeze it to disk, send it over to the test-ops machines, and defrost them. I did this so often that it just became commonplace - yet the ability to do this just faded during the 90's when I moved to other environment. I still can't do this easily on any of our existing systems, although there's cryopid and company - but it strike me as amusing that these sorts of capabilities are being touted as new and ground-breaking. More often than not, the discoveries of a unicorn comp-sci grad who just spent 5 years on themselves seem to be re-inventing things they were ignoring all the while were standard, in the rush to push the past aside and no longer deal with dinosaurs.

Its a funny business we're in. I look forward to the next cycle of devo/evo-lution.
I'm interested too. My guesses:

- http://www.freenom.com/

- work-for/own a domain registrar

- own a pseudo-TLD like .com.me and are really just creating subdomains

- have a large account / custom pricing deals with a domain registrar such that despite a high total cost, the marginal per-domain cost is approximately $0

- only internally-routable domains e.g. /etc/hosts or company-internal DNS server

- only alternative DNS roots like Namecoin or tor's .onion domains
Examples of do-nothing-ism at large companies— lots of launches of bad products. Huge advertising budgets. Large staffs of ineffectual people. Pointy headed bosses. Where do you think that meme came from? Big companies!

Obviously bad startups have this too. I never said it never happens at startups. Those startups die, though, which I do mention.

Re: acquihires, lets be frank. These do not happen with the frequency you may think, and they're not nearly as good as you might hope. It may seem like startups are just like the show Silicon Valley, but that ignores the fact that there is still real signal, real companies, real revenue. It's overly cynical to think that it's a winning strategy to play it like the HBO show. Do the buzzwords, the song and dance, look like a startup. It does not work, nor should it. It's a recipe for disaster. I see it every day.
It would be poetic justice if EFF dedicates this money to fighting future lawsuits from CL. I don't think we have seen the last of this.
A Googler I know claims he spends roughly 90% of his time playing politics and writing long cover your ass emails. Ditto people in other big places. Or just wait for stuff - like waste a month waiting for ops to give access to something.

If you are in a small company - you can spend half your time playing diablo and still be more productive. I also know people that bust their asses trying to do all the work, but have no idea how to get fired the entrenched politicians.
Chronologically, it was actually S/32 => S/34 => S/38 => S/36. Though S/36 was more a successor to S/34, built on more modern hardware but didn't really offer anything new in terms of OS architecture.
Ah, he was going to be fired because he was a poor data-entry operator, but then re-hired because he was an awesome sysadmin. Got it. Makes more sense to me now .. and I'm pretty sure a lot of us who cut our teeth on that metal in the 70's and 80's experienced similar things. For my part, I was hired as a junior developer at a new company once, in my late teens, and told to "figure out how to programmatically reboot the workstations from a distance" .. took me 10 seconds with DEBUG.COM and I'd done a job nobody there already could figure out for weeks. An advantage of having nothing but DEBUG.COM to play with on my new PC for a while, I suppose .. ;)
The latter example happens all the time to good people. Doing a lot of work in most organizations is anti-correlated with success because the only thing that happens is that even more work is pushed your way.
I disagree with the question's premise. Most of the "terrible" referenced is likely in code outside WP's core. There's cruft in in core; rectifying that's an ongoing process. With CMS tech, I've seen even smart developers consistently underestimate the difficulty and time involved in building subsystems like user access controls, document revisioning, media asset handling. There's decent separation of logic, content, and presentation. There's a huge community of users and developers. And the principals are serious about Free Software. None of these things are easily replicable.

That was fun. A couple of the sets were particularly interesting. No surprise that using LSD adversely affects cognitive performance, though the strength and linearity of the effect were perhaps more relentless than expected. Its a reasonable hypotheses that other drugs would produce similar outcomes, but can't say for sure until the studies are done.

Eyeballing the marijuana data reveals that except for Mississippi (and maybe Kentucky) the Pacific coast states have the lowest prices. Notably OR was even lower than WA or CA. The graphs also show west coast prices were consistently falling, whereas the other states with low cost, price was either rising or fluctuating over time. OR (where I live) has a "laid back" reputation, maybe there's a connection.

Don't know what makes cannabis less expensive out here, though I've read our state is a leading pot grower/producer. Since Oregon is about to launch legal recreational marijuana sales, prices may drop even more.

Data: entertaining, and educational too.
TrueCar is hiring Rails, Python, mobile (iOS and Android), and devops engineers in Santa Monica, San Francisco, and Austin. We're also hiring designers.

We acquired the talent of quite a few Carwoo (YCS09) alums a little over a year ago.

We've been around for 10 years and went public 1 year ago. The company has big plans for the coming years and is looking for good developers to help us grow from $1.5B to $10B+.

See http://truecar.com/hiring.html for the full scoop.

We're using Rails and Python (Flask) to serve out all kinds of APIs as well as consumer-facing web experiences and internal tools.

Let's see; what else?

* We prefer you work with us in-person in Santa Monica, San Francisco, or Austin. Remote definitely considered for the right candidates, but you must be based in the United States. We'll handle most visa situations.

* Benefits are exceptional: health premiums are 100% paid for (not only for you, but your whole family), we match your 401k (up to 3% of your contributions), and give stock options and performance bonuses. We also pay for your gym membership (up to $50/month) and have catered lunches every Wednesday.

* Our Santa Monica HQ is right by the beach and Third Street Promenade, so expect fresh air and plenty of food options. While our SF office is right off the Montgomery BART station with 360 degree views of downtown and the bay.

* A meaningful subset of some of the technologies we use: Ruby on Rails, Python, Flask, Redis, MySQL, Hadoop, and Elasticsearch (the whole ELK stack).

* VISAS are handled and remote options are available under the right circumstances.

Send an email to me (Brett) (bemma AT truecar.com) with your resume and/or GitHub profile. Or heck, even if you're not applying but just have questions, drop me a line.
awesome! I was just going to suggest that someone do this!

depends on how many keyboards will you be switching to. I started using Dvorak and then later gave it up for the following reasons:

1) it was not supported on Linux/Unix back then
2) Switching to my wife's laptop (which had Qwerty) was uncomfortable
3) my wife couldn't use my laptop (which i had re-arranged the keys to match Dvorak)
4) remote desktop becomes a pain. If you connect to your computer from another computer/keyboard, your computer will expect you to type Dvorak, but your keyboard will be in Qwerty.
5) No proven reports that Qwerty causes CTS (until computers came along, everyone was using Qwerty)
6) some of the laptop-keyboards don't have all keys of the same size. Also the holders beneath might not be at the same alignment. So re-arranging the keys might be a problem. This is more of an issue, if you use rented laptops, like in my company. On the next laptop-upgrade, they will replace your laptop and you will have to deal with the "re-arrangement of keys" issue again.

As a side note, i can say that typing English in Dvorak was more comfortable and natural, than Qwerty. But for the above reasons, i finally gave up.

Virtually everyone uses gradient based methods in the end to fine tune the weights.

Yes, there are other methods. Contrastive divergence seems to be king right now - of note is Minimum probability flow learning [1] (of which CD is a special case of). However the flavor of these methods tends to be tuning the weights of the model in such a way to maximize how close the model comes to sharing the probability distribution of the data. One can generally not constraint the model parameters (ie by freezing a layer) and retain the models ability to 'learn' the data distribution.

Differentiation between popularity and novelty? What a succinct explanation. Incidentally Twitter originally used popularity, but switched to novelty[1] because Justin Bieber regularly dominated the trending tweets list.
