Veho | ONSITE / HYBRID 3 days per week | NYC or Boston | No Visa | https://shipveho.com/careers

Hi there! At Veho, we don't sell software. We ship packages. Lots of them. We have all of the interesting problems that crop up when running twinned distributed systems in AWS and the real world. It's pretty great.

We're hiring staff-level folks (L4+) in NYC and Boston: Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Mobile Engineers, and Backend Engineers (typescript).

Personally, I'm hiring a Staff Data Engineer with the depth of experience to be a technical lead and mentor for the Data Platform team, while also shipping code. You will need to understand distributed data systems both intellectually and at an instinctive, emotional level. You should have Opinions about the wild boar book. You should probably also be comfortable writing and debugging English, SQL, and Python.

If that sounds like you, I really want you to apply for the Staff Data Engineer role on our career page. Our inbound applications are reviewed by humans.

With apologies that our first interaction requires this silliness: including one of the 7-digit numbers from the "ROS Calculator" on Veho's website in the appropriate box will heavily bias me towards believing you are a human being. That's more of an advantage than it may seem! It's worth the thirty seconds. It would also speed things along if you populate the "Location" field to confirm you are aware this is an in-office role.

Like Unison [0], but buggier.

It is 2025 and CSVs still dominate data interchange between organizations.

Absolutely—CSVs are still everywhere, especially for simple interchange between teams and tools. I designed Data.olllo with that in mind.

That said, I also plan to add support for Parquet and other formats soon—definitely agree it's gaining traction for larger, structured datasets.


parquet is also popular.


It's called upcoding. It's been happening with or without AI or SV's help for well over 40 years. [0]

Interestingly, whistleblowers can recoup a big chunk of the recovered funds in a False Claims Act suit when medical providers do this to defraud Medicaid / Medicare [1]. Could be a lucrative long-term play if you get employed at a company whose sole purpose is helping hospital chains bill for care that an AI thinks may have been provided.

The US Government did a study in the 1950s and discovered that the damage done to a roadway by a car is proportional to the fourth power of its axle weight.

Super heated water is a pretty effective disinfectant within the pipes. For interior spaces ventilation is a legitimate problem in non-forced-air systems.

Historically, you open a window.


The shadow druids are gaining a foothold in Silicon Valley circles, it seems.


Idiocy is gaining a foothold everywhere it seems to me. I keep wondering if this is how civilization collapses? We just forget how to do stuff and recede back into darkness?


This paywall product must have required a staggering amount of work. And yet, the entire text of the article is right there in the network tab.

Why send it over the wire, then try to hide it?


I use Win10, Firefox (latest) and the "Open in Reader View" add-on. So when I right-click the link and select "Open in Reader View" on the menu, it bypasses all the scripts and shows me the full text.

This is how I open 99% of any links on HN or anywhere else (i.e. wanting to read a news article)(I always open in reader view to avoid menus/columns/ads/etc.)


It's (deliberately) a very soft paywall. The LRB offers a certain number of articles for free then hope to attract subscribers, but it's only really a semi-commercial proposition. The whole thing has been subsidised by the editor for decades; my suspicion is that they're much more interested in being read than being paid.

FWIW I'm a subscriber at least in the main because I want it to exist. Most months I don't read more than I'd get for free anyway. But it's gloriously chewy content of a kind that you can't quite find anywhere else.


Huh, it's not paywalled for me. I'm using Brave and have a robust Pihole situation but.. yeah it's all there


The people who write the content and build the site are different from the people who want the paywall?

Usually when it's that obvious, it's general courtesy not to go pointing it out.


It seems intentional, though?

* There's an animation hiding it.

* If you disable javascript, the content doesn't load.

* Copying is disabled.

* There's some kind of javascript function constantly toggling state so that if you right-click inspect, the content div collapses before you can further unroll it.

Someone really wanted users to see the article, then watch it disappear, and make them feel a sense of loss.


Well that's _clearly_ a violation of the CFAA! \s

Once the manager wasn't able to see the text whoever did this was able to click "done" on the ticket and move on.


I just use mkdocs for everything.


Have you found a decent bare bones starter theme? I've been using MkDocs Material, and I find the theme too complicated (HTML etc) - hoping to find a super simple one that looks decent - plain - and is a good base for theming / styling. Thanks & take care.


I use the readthedocs theme: https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/choosing-your-theme/#readt...

Not sure if that fits the bill for you, but I like it.


This looks interesting - thank you!
