I often notice these demented moments before I fall asleep. Completely nonsensical thoughts like the argument from bear bicyclist study when you need to turnkey.

Maybe RO becoming part of the standard set of things you buy (washing machine, vacuum cleaner etc.) is the way.

It just seems really sad that society is moving away from "let's fix it for everyone" toward just giving up and saying "the only solution is everyone for themselves." Like, surely it would be much more efficient and cost-effective to improve water filtration at the municipal level rather than expecting everyone to buy and maintain their own individual filtration systems....

It might be more efficient (and effective) for the filtering to happen closest to where the water is drank. If it happens at the treatment plant, then you end up filtering lots of water that is used to water lawns, shower, etc. Only a small percentage is used for drinking.

Square | Back-end or Full-stack Software Engineer | REMOTE (US and Canada) | Full-time

Apply to join the Channels & Fulfillment team at Square. We are helping many traditionally in-person sellers succeed with moving parts of their businesses online. The two forms this is taking right now:

- Make it ridiculously easy to list your products across many channels/marketplaces (e.g. have your product start appearing in the Google Shopping search tab)

- Expand Square's common fulfillment APIs to simplify the "behind the scenes" operational part of what happens after they receive orders and need to execute on these contracts

We're already seeing a lot of success, and it's been really rewarding to help these businesses. This is a massive project, and most of work is in a new Go / Golang codebase hosted with the help of Redis, Kubernetes, and AWS.

Note that the job post says "Canada" but we're open to folks in both Canada and US for this remote position. Please start your message with "[HN]" when you apply. Feel free to send any questions in comments. https://smrtr.io/4RcLd

Square | Front-end or Full-stack Software Engineer | REMOTE (US and Canada) | Full-time

Square builds common business tools in unconventional ways so more people can start, run, and grow their businesses. When Square started, it was difficult and expensive (or just plain impossible) for some businesses to take credit cards. Square made credit card payments possible for all by turning a mobile phone into a credit card reader. Since then Square has been building an entire business toolkit of both hardware and software products including Square Capital, Square Terminal, Square Payroll, and more. We’re working to find new and better ways to help businesses succeed on their own terms—and we’re looking for people like you to help shape tomorrow at Square.

Many teams are hiring at Square, but I am the hiring manager for the Channels and Fulfillment team. Note that the job post says "Canada" but we're open to folks in both Canada and US for this remote position. Please start your message with "[HN]" when you apply. Please send any questions in comments.

> You've finished PREP. Now you can code!

Yep. Just like that.

"Now you can code" means "Now that you've done this preemptive thinking, you can start coding the function."

It definitely was NOT written to imply you are a certified software engineer now : )
