I tried two pairs of these Radians and couldn't get them to work well. They don't form a proper seal I think, not exactly sure. Def. not as effective as normal ear plugs when it comes to blocking out sound for me. I'm not sure if I did something wrong during the molding process or my ear shape is somehow incompatible with them but I did carefully try twice to no avail.
Any tips?
Foodstand is a quickly growing digital community for anyone who cares about supporting a better food system. We’ve launched a beta version of our mobile app that allows eaters, makers, and growers to share and discover good food from like-minded folks. We have an extremely active and growing audience and have a quickly established ourselves as the hub of good food through our events, community activities, and partnerships. The Foodstand app was incubated by Purpose, the movement-building agency in NYC that has launched several movement organizations and initiatives to tackle issues of social change such as gun violence, LGBT rights, human trafficking, and climate change. The Foodstand venture is Purpose’s effort in mobilizing consumers to be a part of changing our food system. We are a small team working from the lovely Purpose offices near Union Square in New York City. As our user-base continues to grow, we are looking for an outstanding Front-end focused engineer to help us scale up our community and continue to improve our product.
On-site full-time presence in NY is preferred but we are open to other arrangements for outstanding candidates. You will be joining a very small engineering team and will have the opportunity to make a huge impact on the organization and the product. If you care about food and improving our broken food system, and want to work with fun, smart, pragmatic, motivated people, please get in touch.
Our stack is HTML, CSS, JS, Ember, Cordova, Objective C (iOS), Ruby/Rails/Postgres/Heroku. Experience with these specific technologies is a plus, but not required.

How does the verification work? Do I have to register to verify that I've paid?
It's hard to wait long enough though. They start with "final, final, final boarding calls" prematurely and you still end up waiting in line for 5-10 minutes in the gateway even if you're the very last person to check in. I'd still prefer to stand for a few minutes than spend extra time crammed into that awful seat.
I said "pay me 3/5ths of the salary you just offered me and I'll work 3 days a week". I also offered to keep this arrangement flexible so that I could work in stretches of varying lengths if needed.
This did not go over well. People were actually offended by this proposition and it went nowhere.
As a founder myself, I understand the desire to only hire people that will give you their full heart and soul. But, I'm also a practical person and if someone's skills are valuable to me, then they are very likely still valuable in part.
In fact, when it comes to a product/engineering position, I think the employer would come out on top in such a scenario. They still get access to the person's brain and all of their knowledge and ideas. For someone that's being offered high compensation, their knowledge and ideas are probably a big part of the reason why.
It's still coarse, but for me at least it's been very effective.
