Summary: Backend web/distributed systems engineer with nearly 10 YoE. Most recently, I was a senior staff engineer at Neuroflow, an East Coast Series C mental health startup. Locat…

I am most interested in working at late stage startups (think "5 minutes from going public"), public companies, or startups that can compete in liquid compensation with public comp…

Damn, you beat me to it. Reveal codes is the ultimate hammer against screwy formatting. No more wondering why your layout went screwy 10 pages away from where you made some minor c…

Sorry, but that doesn't explain why admin specifically decided to call out the fact that I called out a "celebrity CEO." And, this disagreement is necessarily personal. Although I'…

Guess what? It can happen to you, too, if you dare criticize a celebrity CEO. I got flagged & chastised for “breaking the guidelines” over a comment that stated facts about a certa…

Why do people always want to fix problems arising from capitalism by doing more capitalism?

The people named in one of your examples didn't actually encourage, incite, or support violence; people in the other example did.

Charging for things just because you can is a capitalist mindset, however. Besides, hospitals will never be more competitive than an oligopoly in most cases, simply because only so…

> ... the thought process of capitalism in some countries. FTFY.

If they’re already not paying attention, what’s left to lose?

That’s very close to what Triplebyte does.

How is that relevant to anything?

Stop being pedantic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_2_of_the_Canadian_Char... Edit because I'm apparently only allowed like 5 comments a day: Refusing to spend 30 seconds to…

I don't see what's dubious about it. There doesn't seem to be any evidence the quote was fabricated, and the effects of US drug policy are apparent to anyone who lifts their head o…

You don't think selective enforcement is about exertion of power?

Except you have it backwards. The "War on Drugs" came about as a way for the state to exert power over youth and minorities. > “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White Hous…

> Law is primarily about voluntary submission, not power. Let me know how that works out for you, k? I can assure you that although state power ultimately comes from the people, th…

Oh, no, I wasn't thinking of putting the Pi into the toothbrush. I was thinking of it as a separate device: literally a pushbutton that toggles a GPIO pin that triggers hitting a w…

That sounds like a job for a Raspberry Pi[0] with a pushbutton wired up to a GPIO pin. Push the button after you brush, have it text you a congratulatory message. It's slightly les…

Taking away a few percent of a company's profit, while still leaving a quite substantial profit margin is not "killing the company." There needs to be some teeth behind these fines…

I'm sure they report their revenue like that, so, yeah, probably?
