kvee··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2021)
ONSITE on Abbot Kinney, Venice Beach, LA Los Angeles (but remote for now). & ONSITE or REMOTE in Florianópolis, Brazil.

AE Studio is looking for a few senior full stack devs to join our team of awesome developers and data scientists. We build products for startups and large companies like Samsung, and work on cool stuff in house.

We're also looking to hire software developers with sufficient social skills to communicate with some interesting clients. This role is a hybrid individual contributor/manager role with a lot of interesting challenges involved. We've found that the people who succeed best in them are entrepreneurial developers who love to code but also feel like they should try out "management" or have some freelance or entrepreneurial experience.

We have a pretty fun team of developers, data scientists, designers and PMs. We build products for startups like Protocol Labs and large companies like Samsung, and work on cool stuff in house. We’re particularly passionate about building products that increase human agency.

We’re currently building things like a COVID-19 test platform and computer vision to do an at-home COVID test, a customizable merch platform with some cool computer vision and nlp behind it, and computer vision for preventative medicine pee sticks.

Gotta have: - JavaScript, Node.js, React experience - Clean Code, Unit Tests - Real agile experience (work with things like Kanban, Scrum, Extreme Programming) - Growth mindset http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/dweck)

Bonus Points for: - Experience managing clients and client relationships - TypeScript - Angular - Mobile development - React Native, Rails, PHP, .NET, Ionic, Swift

kvee··on Launch HN: Yotta Savings (YC S20) – Behavioral psychology to help people save
Thanks. It looks like you can on iOS too, though I would probably never figured that out myself.

Turns out there's a $8000 deposit limit. Not sure if that is daily or what.

kvee··on Launch HN: Yotta Savings (YC S20) – Behavioral psychology to help people save
I signed up and deposited $25 to test it out, with a recurring monthly $25 deposit.

Seeing that it's effectively a 3% interest rate, I'm now trying to deposit a much larger amount.

However, it's infuriating to do so, because the only way I can figure out how to deposit more money is in $25 increments.

I also can't figure out how to do a single deposit instead of a recurring deposit.

Is there no way to enter the specific amount of money I want to deposit?

kvee··on Billionaires Want People Back to Work. Employees Aren’t So Sure
As I said in the original comment, I don't know that I agree with the article. I'm just trying to engage with it logically.

I would imagine tens of millions of deaths might trigger a recession, but it's hard to say.

It seems that throughout history some pandemics have wound up being good for the economy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22572317

Also, note that the quote "if there’s a recession as bad as the last one, it could be even worse for well-being than tens of millions of deaths" is not saying that there will be tens of millions of deaths. It's instead saying that the hit to well-being, quantified in QALYs, is greater than tens of millions of deaths.

kvee··on Billionaires Want People Back to Work. Employees Aren’t So Sure
The calculations in the article I posted suggest "that if there’s a recession as bad as the last one, it could be even worse for well-being than tens of millions of deaths."
kvee··on Billionaires Want People Back to Work. Employees Aren’t So Sure
This is a generally unpopular opinion, and I don't know that I agree with it, but it does appear that the billionaires might be logically right from an ethical perspective.

It might cost more QALYs (quality-adjusted life years) to have an economic recession the size of 2008 than to have millions die from COVID-19: https://medium.com/@benfinn/coronavirus-how-much-is-a-life-w...

kvee··on Siwa Oasis
One of the most intense experiences of my life was a "sand bath" at Siwa Oasis. You get buried in unbearably hot sand with supposed healing powers. I didn't have any particular problem, just read about it in Lonely Planet and wanted to see what it was like. Definitely recommended for a crazy intense life experience.

Maybe not really what you're asking, but http://streamoid.com/ is a fashion startup investing a lot in cutting edge computer vision R&D. Seems to be real demand for at least that type of thing from some big brands.
kvee··on Rethinking the American High School
I went to one of the best public high schools in the country. It's consistently rated as one of the best in various nationwide rankings of non-magnet public high schools.

At my top public school, there was not a single great Math or Science teacher. Meanwhile, there were some amazing English, History, and Latin teachers.

So, naturally, a lot of top students gravitated away from Math and Science.
