Another quarter, another loss ex-regulatory credits. I think that's 5 in a row?

So we're taking out regulatory credits but leaving in the CEO award, right? I guess if you cherry pick your one time items you can make any number appear.

Balena | REMOTE | Backend Engineer

Hey there! We're Balena, a startup laser focused on a single goal: enabling every developer to succeed on the new frontier of Edge/IoT computing and building fleets of devices that work as reliably as servers in a datacenter. In the process of creating this bridge, we've built many tools and services, from cloud services (balenaCloud) to desktop utilities (balenaEtcher), to operating systems (balenaOS), single-board computers (balenaFin), and much much more.

Engineers at Balena have the ability to work on issues and features from inception to deployment, from talking to users to solving architectural riddles to learning new technologies as needed. Engineers are empowered to take on a user problem and chase down its solution to any part of the stack, working alone or coordinating other engineers in service of improving users' lives, without regard for internal silos or barriers.

...wouldn't that be $12 billion that Apple has to poach MS engineers with, then?
alexandros commented on Tesla says it has health official's OK to run California plant   detroitnews.com/story/bus... · Posted by u/rmason

If health care workers can't avoid getting themselves infected, even though they have expertise and training, there is no way that Tesla will be able to prevent the virus from spreading within the factory. It's a ticking time bomb at this point, just like the meat packing plants and the other factories that have spread the disease. Once a single person with COVID-19 comes into the Tesla plant, it's guaranteed to spread like wildfire. Things like social distancing is merely a tactic to slow the spread down, but it won't actually help you if someone 6 ft from you has COVID-19 and is breathing vigorously or is eating lunch 6 ft from you.

If Musk isn't right there on the factory line among the workers and endangering his life along with the workers that he is forcing to come work for him, then I will lose a tremendous amount of respect for him. If anything, this should be a good opportunity for the factory workers to unionize and demand better treatment.

Tesla has run a factory in Shanghai post-COVID, so far as we know successfully. Also most if not all the other car factories in the US are already operating. Also workers aren't forced to come in. This focus on Tesla is not taking into account all the data equally, unless folks are also outraged at every other factory in the US.

Not sure what you are talking about.

VW Group has already released a car which is in the hands of customers today i.e. Porsche Taycan. And there are plenty of EV cars today from the big auto manufacturers e.g. Audi, BMW, Mercedes. Some of which even outsell all Tesla cars in a country or two.

And it's hilarious to see you go on about car companies pre-announcing products when Tesla did exactly the same with the Cybertruck, Model Y, Roadster, Semi.

The Taycan is not yet released, and not slated to until "Spring/Summer 2020". And since that's a lot of time till then, it might slip more.

Balena | REMOTE | Product Engineer

Balena is laser focused on a single goal: to enable mainstream developers to succeed on the new frontier of Edge/IoT computing in building fleets of devices that work as reliably as servers in a datacenter. In the process of creating this bridge, we've had to build many and varying tools and services, from cloud services (balenaCloud) to desktop utilities (balenaEtcher), to operating systems (balenaOS), single-board computers (balenaFin), and much much more.

The role of product engineer at Balena is for a truly full stack engineer, ranging from talking to users to solving architectural riddles to learning new technologies as needed. Product engineers are empowered to take on a user problem and chase down its solution to any part of the stack, working alone or coordinating other engineers in service of improving users' lives, without regard for internal silos or barriers.

The ideal product engineer has a wide variety of background experience and isn't afraid to learn to use more technologies when needed, but also is comfortable deferring to experts within the team when their particular skills are required.

If you think this role is for you, please let us know of a problem you see in one or more of our products, and how you would improve it. All who submit a non-trivial answer to this challenge are guaranteed to have an interview with a member of our leadership team.

Drop us a line at producteng@balena.io with a CV and your answer to the question, as well as any other relevant info that makes you particularly suitable for the role. We appreciate non-standard backgrounds and encourage you to focus your material on the substance and not on formalities. We look forward to speaking with you!
