mtwshngtn | 1 year ago | on: A road safety plan that will lead to cars communicating with each other
I have been pushed off the road by a Tesla merging into a right turn lane -- a vehicle with a million sensors that should have been screaming at its driver. My friend, who was on a bicycle and following the conventions and laws of the road, was killed by a driver making a right hand turn.
Many states (in the US) have minimum safe passing distances required for drivers to adhere to when passing a bicycle. Maybe 90% of the time (anecdotally, in very liberal-leaning, bike-heavy areas of the Bay Area in California!) they don't. And so in return, we take the lane (as we are permitted to do, by law), and pissed-off motorists try to kill us.

Loft Orbital deploys space infrastructure as a service, providing rapid, reliable, and simplified access to space. We have two satellites currently in orbit, with many more slated to launch in the next couple of years. With satellite buses in inventory and quarterly launches booked, we deliver customer missions to space in months, not years. We shield our customers from the complexity of a space mission by handling the mission as a service.
Come help develop satellite ground software (mission control software! exciting!), satellite flight software, or payload software! Build the space and ground segments of what is truly an industry-first space-infrastructure-as-a-service offering.
We love: Python, GraphQL, Kubernetes, gRPC, Django, Cue, C++, Rust, Linux, device driver writers, firmware authors, ARM / RISC-V / PowerPC / LEON folks, kernel contributors, & people who want to simplify the complex problem that is space infrastructure. Prior space experience helpful but not necessary!
We are: $140 million Series B led by BlackRock, a space startup with proven flight heritage, thoughtful, experienced, friendly, eager, and driven.
We have: other open roles if you've got something else in mind--Electrical Test Engineer, Senior Mechanical Engineer, Satellite Program Manager, Senior Systems Engineer, and more!

Repeat the same process when you have your piece memorized. Then play your piece from memory but hands alone. You will build up the muscle memory required to keep the piece in your fingers, rather than your head.
