Truth Initiative | Software Engineers | Washington, DC onsite/relocation and remote options | Full-Time | https://truthinitiative.org/
I'm hiring software engineers to join our small, but experienced team at Truth Initiative. Truth Initiative is a mission driven non-profit dedicated to inspiring lives free from tobacco, vaping, and nicotine. I've been here 5 years and it's genuinely a great place to work.
My group is focused on helping people who want to quit through digital interventions. We mostly use Python, Django, Postgres, and Heroku. But we do have some systems that use other stuff like AWS and Twilio.
Benefits here are amazing… seriously. Nearly unmatched, especially in the nonprofit space.
Our hiring process is a phone screen, an offline real world code exercise (no puzzles or tree traversals algorithm tests here), small group interview, with a brief exercise where you review some code at the end. Our office is right at the Gallery Place metro station in downtown DC. We’re fully remote through the summer with a hybrid office/remote schedule starting in September. Local/relocation/remote options
a) It can be too much to ask. They owe you nothing.
b) EveryBlock was bought by NBC. They're hardly a startup anymore.
c) If the service is free, watch your stuff. This sort of thing WILL happen.
No. The iPhone cannot currently do anything like that. There was an early preview talk about a background push framework at Apple's WWDC in June 2008, but still hasn't been made real yet.
I appreciate the app author's desire to create something that can enhance the AMBER alert system, I think that this app will be useless until the iPhone supports background processing.
Yeah, and more importantly, can't you just sign up your phone (you know, with a phone number) for TXT or SMS alerts from the AMBER ALERT folks? I'm certain some of my family members have gotten AMBER ALERT TXTs before.
And then, you know, since your phone has internet access you could just pull up their webpage or local news through safari.
