That’s so strange. Does anyone know why they’d want to chat using special hardware?

Seeq (https://seeq.com) | Software Engineers | 100% Remote

These are the roles that my team is currently focused on hiring: Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer - Distributed Systems, Software Quality Engineer, Software Quality Engineer - Performance

Seeq makes data analytics software for a big market that’s often overlooked by tech companies: industrial process data. Think pharmaceutical manufacturers, wind farms, and energy companies with tons of equipment and sensors. Our software engineers tackle hard problems in streaming calculation, storage and distributed computing, leveraging the latest features in Java 11, Kotlin, and PostgreSQL.

Our company is 100% remote and proud of it. You can work anywhere in the US or Europe, but we require an overlap of 8am-noon Pacific working hours. We use a variety of collaboration tools, like Zoom and Slack, which makes us feel like we’re in the same building together. We have a stacked team of kind-hearted, talented engineers that love to collaborate, teach each other new tricks, and build products that far exceed our customers’ expectations.

Our technology stack is largely Java and Kotlin on the backend and TypeScript, AngularJS, and React on the frontend. The core of our product is a full-featured calculation engine that can perform complex math and execute machine learning algorithms on streaming time series data.

I am not the hiring manager, but am involved with the interview process, and happy to answer any questions. Feel free to contact me at stephen.rosenthal@seeq.com, but please do not email applications or resumes to me.

I was using that feature for the last year or so but recently they took away the public IP address. So I think it’s no longer free for common use cases like hosting a website. Correct me if I’m wrong!

Ah, I found it. It's the default(?) theme called "sorin" from zprezto: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto

My ZSH looks like that, though the arrows are less bold. I don't remember configuring it much, if at all. I think it might be close to the default theme.

In my case, the arrows are purely stylistic. They never change color or ordering.

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp? I’m just guessing.

I think I found my current remote job on weworkremotely.com. We are still hiring and still remote, seeq.com/about/careers.

Ex-Amazonian here.

Aside: Despite the company's not-so-good reputation in the media and forums, I enjoyed working there. For the most part I had good managers and coworkers. And once you've been there a while, you can transfer to a team with more interesting work, less on-call support, etc.

Anyway, my wife is a doctor, and she had to move for her residency. Amazon wasn't willing to consider remote work, and I'm not sure I'd want to be the one "remote guy" anyway, so I switched jobs to a 100% remote company. We're hiring, in case others would like to make a similar jump. :)

Thanks for sharing!

I've often pondered that effect before but never knew it had a name.

In my case I was thinking of AWS versus "newer" competitors like Google Cloud Platform and Azure. AWS has a lot of services and usually keeps them running and backwards compatible. Newer companies could avoid making the less successful services and copy or take inspiration from the most successful services.

I previously used (and really enjoyed) Rdio, which launched before Spotify came to United States (2010 vs 2011). But Spotify was around before that in Europe.

I'm not sure if it's significant to the statistics, but Comcast has always given me an internet+cable package for cheaper than the internet by itself. So for my household, the cable box is just a big electronic coupon.

Google search defines a startup as "a newly established business".

Dictionary.com says "a new business venture, or a new commercial or industrial project".

Merriam-Webster says "a fledgling business enterprise".

I don't mean to be difficult but it's annoying that some folks on HN insist that PG's definition of "startup" is the only possible one. It's a useful definition, but people who use it the non-PG way are not wrong either.

Thanks for sharing that. I lived in Seattle and often walked by the Pronto bikes but didn't know that the helmet situation there was different than elsewhere.

That's a good question.

A similar service (Pronto) did not succeed in Seattle, as mentioned in the article.

I wonder if the other top cities (DC, NYC, Boston, Chicago) are actually succeeding, or if they are just subsidized by the city.

So you could get double your pay by moving from Chicago to San Francisco, or multiply by 6 if you move from Fayetteville to San Francisco.

Seems backwards to have such a large incentive to live somewhere more expensive.

When mortgage interest rates are relatively low like now, I would think even wealthy people would want mortgages. By using a mortgage instead of paying cash, it would be possible to buy more property (a fancier home, a vacation home or rental properties). Or they could invest more in higher-yield investments like stocks.

Same here, I just set up LetsEncrypt for a second site last week and didn't know this. From a glance at the docs it looks like it's relatively new. Ubuntu 16.10 has the automatic cron setup but not Ubuntu 16.04 which is what I used.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. As a very casual G+ user, I never figured out how circles worked.

Sure it does. If you already have an Uber subscription, then you're comparing $2 for a subscription-subsidized Uber ride versus $(more) for a ride from Lyft or some other competitor. The competition won't be able to compete on price at that level.

I personally liked working at Amazon, and think most of the horror stories are from bad teams (there are also good teams!) but you pointed out one of the few downsides that applies across the board.

Amazon is not very friendly towards open-source. When I was there, I believe their policy was that you needed to ask for permission to contribute to any open-source project. The policy was broad (covering things like code snippets on StackOverflow or /r/programming on Reddit) and strict (I heard they would not approve anything related to game development). There definitely were folks who contributed to open-source projects -- I think those people either didn't ask for permission or had friendly managers.
