Coupa is "The All-In-One Business Spend Management Platform". Our software handles Purchasing, Expenses, Invoicing, Analytics, Payments, and more. We started over 10 years ago and went public in 2016.

We use Ruby on Rails, React and React Native, jQuery, and Go. Less commonly, C# and Python. We are pragmatically building and maintaining a large platform used by hundreds of companies, many of which you probably interact with daily.

We are a friendly bunch with a wide range of educations, backgrounds, ages, and family sizes. We try hard to keep to a maximum of 40 hour work week. We have hack days several times a year during work days. Developers have lots of ways to make an impact by working with product management and UX teams, creating internal tools and services, and contributing to the design and architecture of the product.

We are hiring engineers for Rails, React, performance, data, testing, site reliability, and more: https://jobs.lever.co/coupa?department=Development

Benefits: * Good pay * Flexible working hours * Unlimited PTO [I'm aware of the criticisms but it works well here.] * Health, Dental, Vision insurance * Lunch 2 days a week * Snacks and drinks * Employee Stock Purchasing Plan, 401K match

Location: * HQ in San Mateo, CA near 101 and 92. Near Hayward Park Caltrain, shuttle to Hillsdale Caltrain * More offices in Reno, Ohio, Pune India, and elsewhere: coupa.com/company/our-offices * Remote workers around the US and world. (Remote positions not always available.)

You aren't even comparing the same setting in your screenshots. app.shield.optoutstudies.enabled is set to true in stable and nightly.

An finally proof you are opted out by default on the public release of 57: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3zpwunknngy71pw/Screen%20Shot%2020....

This actually seems to mean that you are opted in. The setting is extremely poorly named. "app.shield.optoutstudies.enabled" must mean "Are Studies, which are "opt-out", enabled"?

Here's a brand new profile on firefox stable, downloaded a few moments ago:

https://i.imgur.com/kZiGAjG.png

Or see this privacy guide which recommends false for this setting: https://aaronhorler.com/articles/firefox-privacy.html

I'm afraid that, despite your screenshots, a lot of your information is inaccurate.

Developer edition download page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ 0 mentions of "shield", "studies", "study, "crash", "experiment" two mentions of data in the context of developer features: "Storage panel: Add, modify and remove cache, cookies, databases and session data."

Beta and Nightly download page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/ 0 mentions of "shield", "studies", "study", "data", "crash". 1 mention of experiment/test pilot way at the bottom of the page, unconnected to any version. The Mr Robot addon was not part of test pilot and is not listed on the test pilot experiments page. https://testpilot.firefox.com/

Info about this study taken from their study page: AFAIK this information was added after people started asking questions.

Furthermore, just look at the confusion here from people at Mozilla who understand the shield policies and can't find the correct "paperwork" for this study:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1424977

Also see Mozilla's CMO stating this:

The experience was kept under wraps to be introduced at the conclusion of the season of Mr. Robot.

Very curious to know more about legal (licensing?) problems doing VR work on Apple computers. I tried to search but didn't find anything that seemed related. Is it specific to Oculus and Vive hardware? I know of other companies who literally use Apple notebooks as the monitor for their VR rigs.

Check Amazon and eBay. I got my sister a great used i7 Thinkpad for Christmas / graduation for around $200. I added more RAM and an SSD but those were pretty inexpensive too. She's been super happy with it.

The language in these announcements is so cliched and tired. You're not "joining" anything, you were bought and now you work somewhere else. This isn't a baby shower or an engagement announcement, if anything your users are probably unhappy that their product is vaporizing, not thrilled for your Incredible Journey.

This is the first time I've seen something like this. I use Firefox full time for development and personal use and do a lot of front-end work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The slowness in Firefox appears to be solely due to this:

  @media (min-width: 1180px) {
    body:not(.no-literate) .content-root {
      background-color: #fdfcfc;
      -webkit-box-shadow: inset 780px 0 #fff, inset 781px 0 #e7e7e7, inset 790px 0 3px -10px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
      box-shadow: inset 780px 0 #fff, inset 781px 0 #e7e7e7, inset 790px 0 3px -10px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
    }
  }
Removing it in the Firefox style editor restores normal performance.

Edit: And they have commented out the box-shadow! Hah.

Along the same lines, but perhaps more accessible, and played with a Yamaha Disklavier player piano:

http://www.kylegann.com/BudRanBackOut.mp3

Kyle Gann - Bud Ran Back Out (Mechanical Piano Study No. 6) (2001) "The question was whether I could make the Disklavier respond as fast as Bud Powell played. Doubting that I could surpass him, I added some tricks that I hope Powell might have envied, such as playing his ultrafast melodies in chromatic sixths and triple octaves, and simultaneous melodies in tempo ratios of 7 against 8 against 9. It was time for technology to provide a new spin on Thelonious Monk's composition In Walked Bud. The piece is dedicated to Thurman Barker."

Coupa Software - Procurement and Spend Management for business, in the cloud.

Looking for...

    - Ruby on Rails developers 
    - iOS developers
    - integrations engineer (connecting enterprise financial systems)
    - UX & visual designers
Our product is built on Rails, and helps businesses save money, and helps all of their people who do purchasing and expenses to have much more efficient and enjoyable jobs. Our customers love our product, because we work extremely hard on to improve and protect the user experience, design, and overall coherence of the product.

Current goals and challenges include building new features, improving our automated testing, and maintaining a solid foundation for the product. Your workload in a given month might include bugs, a feature or three to build by yourself or with a few others, improving our technology stack, or implementing your own ideas to improve the product. We like people who are full stack, and like learning about all areas of the product.

I am a full-stack dev, so I do everything from tuning database queries to Rails to JavaScript to visual design on my features, its pretty damn rewarding and interesting.

Working on the product development team is pretty great. I enjoy working and spending time with everyone on the team, and we have smart people from lots of different backgrounds and locations. We have a neat office space in downtown San Mateo that is open and perfect for a team of programmers (we keep the noise down when we're working). We are two blocks from the San Mateo CalTrain station, we have plenty of room for bikes, and free parking passes if you want to drive.

We have had remote developers for a long time, across the country and world. We also allow for working from home as needed for local people (or wherever else you are productive), and we strongly encourage people to go home and rest if they look tired or don't feel well.

We offer good pay, great health / dental / vision insurance, unlimited vacation, extremely flexible hours (pretty much be in by 11am if you are local). We have "field trip" lunches on Wednesdays to get the team together and relax, and other days we might walk to the park or somewhere downtown for lunch.

Please email a quick intro and your resume, website, or github to * brianfarr@gmail.com * if you are interested or have any questions.

If you seem like a good possibility, your resume will be seen by my manager and the team early this week. If not, I will try my best to point you to someplace you are a good fit, or connect you with recruiters I know. Also, if you are new or looking to move to the SF Bay Area and want to talk to someone who did it last year, from the midwest, send me an email too.

(P.S. - We have already hired one Rails engineer from an HN Who's Hiring post).
