i spend way too much time looking at shipping containers.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I would love to see this show up as an OSS project. I know a few people who would likely enjoy being able to contribute if that's something you'd be looking for.
Still there, still great!
Agreed. Interested in giving this a go, but current pricing is quite the turn off.
The work they do behind the scenes is very impressive. An "AWS, but for supply chain" would be huge in my (biased) opinion, though I'm curious whether they would be motivated enough to share their progress with the rest of the world since it's been quite a competitive advantage.
Very cool! Feel free to reach out!
There are plenty SCM solutions and TMS products, agreed, however that isn't the change I'm describing. OTM, SAP S4/HANA, etc are heavily used and have been around for ages, yes -- even better systems exist. Problem is: the quality of data going into those systems has not improved much, the flow of that data is pretty poor, and the barriers to entry for basic visibility are high unless you're moving a lot of boxes.
Despite best efforts, even among the largest lines (Maersk + others via DCSA), EDI still reigns supreme in this space. Nothing inherently wrong with EDI itself but there are plenty problems with access. Port & terminal level visibility are in an even worse place.
I think this has much to do with certain parties controlling most of the dataflow for NA rail freight moves. Definitely a problem on the ocean and in the port terminals as well. We should chat!
Supply chain/logistics. I've been simultaneously surprised and unsurprised by the relatively minuscule number of people interested in driving technology and change for this space forward compared to other spaces.
For access to more community-driven data out there, check out aishub.net. If you're able to operate a base station and contribute back, you should be able to get what you need.
Nice! Picked up a shirt and some stickers :) Sorry to see you guys go. Flynn was one of the first things that made me legitimately excited about the future of Docker. Thanks for all your great work.

Ditto. AutoRune and later SCAR, Sleepwalker, et al were huge inspirations to teenage me. I spent a lot of time bugging Dylock and Kaitnieks for Delphi help over IRC.
When I had some downtime a year or so ago, it was really interesting to revisit the reverse-engineered clients (a la RuneBot, PowerBot, etc) and taking a look at how that was done then and now. Actually made me somewhat working with Java again.
Very cool to see other folks who found themselves on a similar path thanks to that community!
Probably worth holding out on them until the "productized" version then. :)
I don't follow. This is developed and being run by Google, but it doesn't seem Google is attempting to use this to improve their own interviewing processes. Is it implied in this blog post somewhere? I would be really excited to see this in practice.
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I've been a huge customer of DD's for years and only recently found this out after being confronted by Dashers who thought I'd lowballed them. I tweeted at DoorDash multiple times, and while I usually get some response from them this time it was radio silence. I'm livid.
I did, however, hear from a Dasher who was more than happy to clue me in on the policy[0]. From now on, I no longer tip inside the app and let the Dasher know I'll be tipping them in cash at the door. It's a pain for me, but I feel better knowing 100% of my tip actually went to them like it was supposed to.

This is fantastic! Great work. I'm currently prototyping a custom interface for some controllers/pads I've built and am building. This could be really useful if I wanted to get fancy and make it uber-flexible.
At the end of the day, something has to be wired to the A/C to provide control and the majority of houses today are already equipped with that wiring inside the home (usually into a wall). I don't think there's any rule that says you have to have this in a wall, but I'd be willing to bet most people will prefer having that fancy smart thermostat mounted in the same place the old one was (myself included).
If nothing else, I think it creates a sense of security in that they'll be able to still use it if they lose their controller or their phone dies.
Kilroy Realty purchased the property in January along with an adjacent property for $130m. Stanford owns the land and does long term ground leases.
Just apply. Most of the designers I worked with didn't come in with prior experience in space tech, nor did I as an engineer.
You could check out DigitalGlobe, Planet Labs, etc. You can also look at companies that take data from the satellite mfgs/operators and repackage it for customers such as Orbital Insight.
Spacecraft generate tons of telemetry that needs to be ingested, normalized, and visualized -- there's room for web dev in this space (no pun intended).
I spent some time working for a company that builds imaging satellites. My role was working on the UI team, building real-time telemetry monitoring and alerting software using web technologies for ground control. It was definitely one of the more interesting places I've worked at.
Netflix.com is built using React, including the non-authenticated experience (sign up, sign in, title pages, etc)
The majority of Netflix infrastructure runs on AWS, sans content delivery AFAIK.
The transition to AWS was completed a little over a year ago and took several years to do.[0]

As an individual consultant, it's not terribly uncommon for the contracting company to interview you and get a feel for how working with you will be beforehand. At least that's been my experience.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that's quite accurate. Jest does snapshot testing[0], but that isn't screenshot regression testing.

Not necessarily. They could still be pushing meaningful changes upstream even if they have forked the project (I have no idea if they've forked or not).
IIRC Hapi and its ecosystem was borne out of Walmart Labs while Eran was employed there. I would guess that Walmart was "funding" it at the time by paying him a salary.
Once he left they probably felt like they had a team that could contribute to Hapi core themselves if needed, and had no desire to sponsor continued work on the project other than having employees spend time on features/fixes they required. I could be way off -- just a guess at their reasoning.
Founders need to live in the Bay Area during the 3-month period in which they're participating in the YC batch, but I believe companies are free to move to wherever they'd like once that period is over. I can think of a couple that were based in Chattanooga (median income ~36k) and moved back there after YC.
Sorry to hear this. I always thought Nitrous had a pretty nice platform compared to other cloud IDEs and Peter is a great guy that was building some cool stuff. Wishing the folks at Nitrous all the best in whatever comes next.
