Perhaps another way of thinking about it is in terms of being a market maker versus a speculator. I think of Opendoor as more like the former, where traditionally a flipper refers …

Hadn't seen this before, but looks pretty cool. Thanks!

We have about ~40 people in the engineering org, including the data science team who all frequently write code as well.

The cost structure service is actually what I've been working on recently. We spun up a fairly lightweight flask service (on our kubernetes cluster) that is capable of serving the …

I think everyone on the team understands that helping unblock other engineers is as valuable as writing some code yourself. It generally hasn't been an issue getting timely review,…

I'm a software engineer at Opendoor- happy to answer any questions!

Very neat. Can BuckleScript compile Core?

To me this seems like the right approach - either you start with some massive amount of data that's not quite adapted to the problem (think Google), you start with full automation …

The student hackathon movement has definitely evolved super quickly in the last five years (as Swift says, 5 -> 150, or more than 100% growth year over year). I'd be curious to hea…

Given that as far as I know, roads must be extensively mapped in advance of a self-driving car going on them, there is a nice bonus of doing self-driving cars exclusively through U…

One of my favorites, that didn't make the top 7: http://ychacks.challengepost.com/submissions/25719-jugglr - a pebble + ipad app that tracks your juggling.

Neat concept - I've tried Plated which is similar. As a note for Josh, the banner image is unreadable when the window is maximized on my 30" thunderbolt display.

That makes sense - to get any stellars from the giveaway (either from the initial sign up or from setting up password recovery), you need to confirm your identity. Otherwise, you'd…

@seas.upenn.edu didn't seem to work.

I saw this paper as well. But I suspect for some people the effects of telling others will be net positive, even if that's not the average. Anecdotally, I believe that to be true f…

A good question to ponder. But I think a very strong answer is that as a company producing bitcoin hardware you want to reduce exposure to bitcoin. Selling the machines (monetizing…

I generally agree with the sentiment. I think it's very easy to each year just look at the standard prize amounts and decide that slightly beating the standard can't hurt, but over…
