Long Game | Software Engineer | SF | Full-time

We're building a savings app for people that struggle to save money. How you ask? We're using a new form of investment called prize-linked savings (new to the US as of 2014). The simple explanation is that you trade part of your interest for the chance to win from a prize pool of everyone's interest.

As a software engineer at Long Game you'll be joining a small team of engineers and will have full exposure to all aspects of our product development processes.

We're looking for developers that enjoy building fun mobile UX and/or engineers with considerable finance experience.

Our stack: React Native, Node, Postgres, AWS

I keep trying to take these guys seriously, but every time they put AI/AGI as top level threat and I just can't take them seriously after that. I really enjoyed yesterdays article on this topic: https://backchannel.com/the-myth-of-a-superhuman-ai-59282b68...

But that's sort of is my point, it's all statistical, that's why they have medical trials for years before FDA approves new drugs. We sort of know what is happening in the brain, it's lacking one neurotransmitter or the other and all the drugs/supplements basically either provide it or pretend to be one. Another approach I've seen is to stimulate certain hormones, but again it's individual because some people might have excess of one hormone and lack of the other. Relaxation and meditation is basically natural way to balance certain hormones (reduce cortisol in particular). Or sun exposure gives you vitamin D (which is technically a hormone) and it's been studied to help with depression, but some people need more of it than others etc. I recommend you to pick up a book on nutrition before jumping into this space, one of the easy to read books is Ultramind Solution by Dr Hyman. Hope this helps.

You can take a look at some startups that sell nootropics. But after going through many natural supplements and prescribed medications, I realized that everyone is different and respond differently. I personally get high blood pressure within days of taking certain nootropics. Certain other ones causing me to be more explosive and agitated. Some natural herbs caused shortness of breath within hour, etc. All these things are very individual so I would not bet on any startup with magic pill to cure everyone. Took me a while to find something that works for me. Maybe there should be startup that guides you through these experiments to find what works for you individually.

not the fastest but IMHO most practical way is through http://www.usaco.org/ training program @ http://train.usaco.org/usacogate, it's free and it will teach you to code and use most data structures and algorithms you'd ever encounter

I am not sure about the salaries going down.

Senior engineers = a little older = probably have family = harder to make the move to another country

I've been on H1B since about the time I graduated and it was no brainer to start new life in US. Had I stayed and started my family and career in Canada, it would've been much harder move to US and it probably wouldn't be worth it because my wife wouldn't be able to work etc etc

That is not true, sea ice melting does cause sea level increases, you are forgetting that sea water is salt water: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18841-melting-iceberg...

"Fresh water, of which icebergs are made, is less dense than salty sea water. So while the amount of sea water displaced by the iceberg is equal to its weight, the melted fresh water will take up a slightly larger volume than the displaced salt water. This results in a small increase in the water level."

Interesting analogy but there is a difference though. Government can somewhat regulate gun sales (proof of identity, no hospitalization due to mental illness, etc). If you apply that to tech companies then we are about to see some regulation in who can and who can't use those services.

Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss

also I heard good things about this learning community: https://www.farnamstreetblog.com/members/ I subscribe to free newsletter and always happy with the content

Tim Ferriss wrote a book on how to learn things fast. It's called 4 Hour Chef: https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Chef-Cooking-Learning-Anything... He gives a lot of tips but it's up to you to test them out and see what works for you.

We are building an app that uses short term incentives (similar to the lottery) to get people to save for their future. In other words, seeking to redirect an $80B rev stream that's wasted on the lottery into transparent financial assets.

We are looking for talented engineers to join our team. These are high-impact, high-ownership positions for someone wanting to solve a huge societal problem using engaging games of chance.

We have a small, high-performing, practical, user-focused eng team. Great alignment and a collaborative culture.

Stack: NodeJS, React Native

To apply, please email dan@longgame.co and include your CV and a link to your website/github/etc. Feel free to include any additional details.

That's exactly what happened to me. I was stuck in embedded systems world right out of college and then one day took interview with Google, they were asking me questions clearly looking to hear "MVC" in my answer but I just didn't know it back then...

Original article has a generic map without much details but does anyone have a list of specific cities or zip codes that are affected? Original article with map: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/press-releases/toxic-chemi...

robinhood.io is so obsessed with cats that they have a huge cat mural: https://vimeo.com/115955748

Try Tokumx, it's drop-in replacement for mongodb but much much more reliable (https://www.percona.com/software/mongo-database/percona-toku...)

remember what happened when Snapchat had Bob Marley filter?

is that why ZenPayroll re-branded to Gusto?

this is great but they are missing analytics part for bots, good addition would be Botpages Inspector https://inspector.botpages.com/signup

good overview, on analytics front there another solution that's not on the charts: https://inspector.botpages.com/signup

you can use site like www.botpages.com to promote them, they also offer analytics platform for bots inspector.botpages.com/signup

Kik has pretty good group messaging

Green card process prevents it. I changed jobs 3 times on H1B and my green card process reset every time. It's been 7 years and I am still waiting for green card, but if I just stayed with my first employer then I'd already have it years ago. Most ppl stick around to get green card and I've seen employers taking advantage of this.

I was in the same boat, tried reading tutorials for Angluar/Ember/Backbone/etc and wanted to throw up because of all the complexity and prior web experience/knowledge that they expect you to know. But then tried Meteor and everything there made a lot of sense to me.

so true, I've never been in better shape in my life, I recently ran ultra-marathon and can easily bench press my own weight 10 times but my physician told me I am overweight and should loose 15 pounds because my BMI is over 25. I wanted to take his head off.
