Scoot | San Francisco, Barcelona, Santiago | ONSITE | Backend Engineer (Rails) | https://scoot.co

Scoot is making Electric Vehicles for Everyone. We hope to have a massive impact on global climate emissions by creating an urban mobility solution. In our first city of San Francisco, we launched a shared scooter network that has transformed the way tens of thousands of people get around the city. Having proven our model in San Francisco, our next phase will expand our service to new cities and new vehicles.

We have recently expanded to Barcelona, Spain and Santiago, Chile. Travel to our offices in these locations is encouraged! We are also open to hiring engineers based out of these locations.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails on the backend, React Native on the frontend.

We are looking to hire backend engineers to help build new tools for our riders, fleet technicians, and vehicle engineering team.

Contact jared at scoot dot co to apply.

🛵 Scoot | Senior iOS + React Native engineer | San Francisco, CA | Onsite

Scoot is building electric vehicles for everyone. We have been operating our fleet of electric mopeds in San Francisco since 2012. We just launched operations in Barcelona (our first expansion market outside of SF) and added electric bicycles to our fleet so it's a very exciting time to join!

We are looking for a senior iOS developer with React Native expertise. You will help implement new features for our riders in both San Francisco and Barcelona.

Contact jared@scoot.co for details. Come join us and be a part of the electric vehicle revolution!

iOS apps do not run via emulation on macOS; they are compiled for x86_64 and run as a normal process.

Apple patched Meltdown (not Spectre) for Sierra in "Security Update 2017-002" on Dec. 6th 2017. They are not doing a point release; the latest version of Sierra is 10.12.6

If you want to check that you have installed this update, you can use the following command:

  $ system_profiler | grep 'Security Update 2017-002'

And here's an instance of this very bug! https://github.com/butor/blackbird/issues/348

From the README:

  >> your maximum loss on an exchange won't be 
  >> greater than $xx no matter what.

Unless I'm misunderstanding; the bot sells short on one exchange and buys on the other. If there was a bug where it didn't cover the short sale with a long buy, and Bitcoin price goes up, you'd be liable for the increase in price.

They serve this patty at Umami Burger in SF. We tried it a few weeks ago and everyone was really disappointed. It definitely doesn't bleed. It's cooked well-done and can't be ordered any other way. The taste is similar to a well-done beef patty.

I'd love to try the burger they're describing here. Maybe the product is difficult to work with and Umami is unable to get these results? Or maybe they're describing some version 2.0 Impossible patty that isn't available yet?

Oooo, very pretty.

You've got to be kidding me.

Ladies' night is all about objectification of women. Spinning that as "gender discrimination" against men is sick.

doe88 is talking about mail covers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_cover), a program where the USPS provides copies of the information on the outside of envelopes to the federal agency requesting it.

This program is controversial because no lawful order is required for the USPS to collect this information. It's an egregious violation of US citizens' privacy.

Netflix hires very few entry level engineers. I just checked their jobs page[1] and there are almost no postings for non-senior engineers.

I'd argue that a senior engineer should be highly effective while still developing in her role. Also, expectations for different "levels" of engineer vary. Typically an "exceeds expectations" performance review for "Senior SDE" would be neutral for e.g. a "Staff SDE."

  He said low interest rates have encouraged many investors
  to pour capital into private tech investing, fueling high
  valuations. If interest rates “stay at zero, rather than
  seeing a hard correction, you might start seeing volatility.”

VCs are investing in private tech companies expecting 10-100x returns on about 20% of their fund. Which works out to at least 20% return per year on a 10-year fund.

It doesn't make sense to me that an investor who would choose a VC fund as their vehicle would suddenly choose a Treasury note when interest rates go up 1-3%. A VC fund should still outperform that.

Is the $800 amenity fee monthly? If not, you're probably better off buying (see http://nyti.ms/1han05C ; plug $300k in for the "price of home")

It seems that we can give money to those in need, and see a "return" on that money in terms of increased employment and generation of value. Sounds like an investment to me.

The government is the unique position; they are able to realize a gain on this via income tax revenue. Maybe this can be done via basic income? Could we pass a basic income bill as an "investment in America" and is there a model where the government actually makes a return on this investment?

Many people around the world have a different experience. I'd encourage you to research other viewpoints before making a blanket statement that a certain relationship style "doesn't work out."

The book "Opening Up" by Tristan Taormino is a great starting point. (http://www.amazon.com/Opening-Up-Creating-Sustaining-Relatio...)
