Hey HN! I really enjoy this type of App Security, anyone know any blogs devoted to this? Or any other places to learn more tricks like this?

Thought I'd lend my 2 cents here. I'm a current Berkeley EECS undergrad.

These 8hr a week TA positions are very difficult to get and coveted by many students for (1) relationship to a professor which helps in such a large department and (2) the considerable amount of weekly pay.

Did the EECS department potentially ruin their short term future by not paying full tuition? Maybe.

They also do lean heavily on academic interns (unpaid students who work 1 or 2 hours a week), and I see this group increasing greatly in numbers after this decision is ruled.

Please ask me questions! I'm a past TA myself have a lot of friends who TA.

Although Nomad says that it's rides are 20% cheaper than Uber/Lyft, it doesn't seem like they'll be able to give out rider credits easily. My several $5 monthly credits on Uber/Lyft amount to much more than 20% of my fair (especially with short/medium length rides). I choose what service I used based of price and promos.

We've seen that that startups lose a ton of money trying to get customers, hopefully they can use this coolness factor to their benefits on college campuses.

I understand that they want to give the driver 100% of the fee, but charging them for insurance (or needing to find insurance) seems a little conterintuitive to me. If a driver only did a few Nomad rides in a month (it is the gig/on demand economy after all) they may not even make the amount to pay for their monthly driver/Nomad insurance. To me, this breaks the idea of the Gig economy, "work when you have extra time and get paid."

I'm really curious about this!

Can I ask what city you work in? I'm going to school for CS and I see a lot of students trying to get into DS with little or no avail.

I think that something that should be mentioned that these coding challenges are the norm for hiring out of college. It doesn't matter (at 90% of companies, from personal applications) that you have a resume/portfolio of cool and interesting project/experience. All companies count on this coding interview to screen you. Some companies give you rather outlandish questions to screen you on the first try. My cool personal projects have never been mentioned by a interviewer.
