Lendeavor is a technology-enabled lender to healthcare practices. Practitioners — primarily dentists, veterinarians, and optometrists — use Lendeavor’s online platform to seamlessly start, acquire, expand, or equip their practices.

Practice owners are some of our economy’s most highly educated and hardest-working entrepreneurs — yet starting, buying, or expanding a practice takes too long and costs too much. We’re here to change that.

We’ve built software that takes complicated transactions — like buying your first practice — and makes them simple. As a result, our members spend less time applying for credit, and we spend less time processing it. This efficiency drives faster funding and lower rates. Going forward, we’re ruthlessly focused on simplicity, customer experience, and efficiency.

Current Stack: Rails, Postgres, Heroku

Open Positions...

  - Product Manager
  - Experienced developers (especially backend)
  - More developers

My favourite one that I use as a cliche from time-to-time is...

> The average European lifespan has more than doubled since Sir Walter Raleigh introduced tobacco to the continent.


This is a good one, also probably because by "lifespan" it means life expectancy at birth, as many "statistics" do, which has pretty much nothing to do with anything that happens to people after 15 or so.


That is in the lama book (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596001322.do).

> Yes, sometimes Perl looks like line noise to the uninitiated, but to the seasoned Perl programmer, it looks like checksummed line noise with a mission in life.

edit: formatting


It would screw up high-noon for a lot of people. However, getting the US down to two time zones would be much less problematic, and achieve most of the benefits you'd see from one time zone...

Is 'high noon' that important that it needs preserving?


How else when you know when to duel?

But seriously, look up how time zones work in China. The whole country is on Beijing time so the western areas essentially maintain two clocks because the "official" clock is so far off the day/night cycle.


Looks great. Your formatting on the result page is messed up in my browser (chrome on osx). You can see a screen shot here...

That's less than 1% over one week. The APR would closer to 15-20% (depending on salary, pay frequency, etc.).


Yes, but ed's statement still stands. Payday loan APRs often reach into the hundreds of percentage points.

I've answered with an EDIT in my GP comment to keep it in one place.


I'm inclined to believe you, but how would you something something close to 15-20%?

For 1 week: 3 / 360 = 0.8%

For 52 weeks: (3 * 52) / (360 / 52) = 0.8%

Or is it that Even is holding on to effectively a weeks worth of pay at all times, and we're calculating interest based on $360 of principal? Or is compounding coming into play somewhere?
