Klue (recently acquired by Medtronic) | Full Stack Mobile Engineers | ONSITE in San Jose, CA or Northridge, CA | Full-time | https://goklue.com/

We are a digital health start-up developing wearable-based eating and drinking detection system. We were acquired by Medtronic in September 2019 and have an ambitious roadmap ahead to combine our technology with Medtronic’s systems to help millions of patients around the world.

Klue’s automatic meal detection capabilities hold great promise for improving the quality of life and health for individuals living with diabetes. Automatic meal detection paves the way for a fully autonomous closed loop artificial pancreas system, delivering insulin at the start of a meal without user intervention. Furthermore, Klue’s mealtime bolus (insulin injection) reminder module helps people with insulin-dependent diabetes improve their medication adherence and glycemic control.

We're looking for a capable Principal Full Stack Mobile Engineer to join our team. You should think about joining us if you care about having a lasting impact on people with diabetes and other chronic conditions, and if you are passionate about developing high quality software and delivering best-in-class user experiences across a wide range of mobile and wearable platforms.

Re:“Prestudy”: Learning Chinese Through Reading on Wednesday September 05, 2018 @01:41AM (#17915288)
The ROI of learning speaking and listening is very high. I’ve been learning Chinese for 10 years and have gotten much more out of it than my 6 years learning German.

Why is that? Living in England, there weren’t many German-speaking people around so I didn’t get much out of it. Even when I went to Germany, they all spoke English better than I spoke German so we mostly ended up conversing in English.

Chinese on the other hand... there are lots of Chinese speakers in most places, and they’re mostly very happy, relieved and even excited to speak Chinese with you. If you ever go to China, speaking Chinese opens you up to a whole host of new experiences. Few people confidently speak English there so you can get a lot of practice very quickly.

I do agree that ROI on reading/writing is low, and it’s mostly due to the insane difficulty of memorizing characters. My suggestion: learn how to read and type simplified Chinese. Don’t bother with writing (which interestingly is much harder than typing on a pinyin keyboard), or traditional Chinese (there are tools which convert back and forth between the two of you need
