== About us

- We’re a seed stage startup company based in San Francisco.

- We’re building a market research analytics tool for businesses based on consumer credit card transaction information (think “Nielsen for transactions”).

- We’re well funded by great investors and are looking for our first engineering hires.

- We use AWS for all of our development and production environments. Today, we use Scala, Node.js and MySQL but we’re always evaluating new tools that can help us build more awesome things.

- We are hackers at heart - crazy about using technology to create something valuable.

== Positions:

Full-stack software engineers
Looking for our first engineering hires: people who want to build something great from scratch, take lots of ownership and do a ton of learning.

Examples of things you will do:

- Design and implement scripts that process millions of credit card transactions and remove duplicates, identify types of transactions, extract canonic business names.

- Figure out how to store this data to make it efficiently queryable by applications.

- Figure out how to build tools in our applications for users to gain non-trivial insights from these millions of transactions.

- Make our applications blazing fast.

- Build UX that looks like it’s from the future: beautiful, obvious and extremely smart.

Hustle, Inc. - San Francsico, CA | ONSITE ONLY | Full Time + Interns

Work with us in the trenches on real issues such as gun control, corruption, and immigration reform.

We are looking for individuals with modern front-end chops (React, Flux, GraphQL...)

Email me directly: (tyler) (at) (hustle.life)
Wow, this is an very bold and risky move. The familiarity with the Google search prompt plays a significant role in user retention. Is this a sign of Google worrying about their current situation?
I stated no position on the issue, so your hostile tone is unnecessary. In fact, I'm okay with suffrage for every adult of established citizenship. What I'm against is breathlessly hyperbolic exaggerations
Weft - http://weft.io - Cambridge/Boston, MA -- ONSITE

=== What we do ===

We're a unified logistics intelligence platform -- we track every boat on the water, every plane in the sky, and are working on tracking every truck on the ground (+ a bunch of other indirectly related data sets) so that we can know everything that's going on in the logistics world.

Turns out there're lots of inefficiencies in the supply chain! One of our customers spends $400mm/year shipping empty containers, another spends $80mm/year on late fees. Lots to optimize!

=== Crib notes ===

- Clojure, Rails, Javascript, Python (we use a lot of PySpark)

- Spark, pg, redis, kafka, accumulo, docker

- We have one of the world's experts in Deep Learning on our team

- We eat + drink together a lot... Taco tuesday, wino wednesday, whiskey thursday (though I think we should rename it to thirsty thursday), foodie friday

=== Looking for ===

Mid-level and senior-level folks in:

- Data science

- Data engineering

- Backend engineering

- Firmware engineering (yeah, we make hardware, too)

- Front-end engineering

If this sounds interesting, please shoot us an email at jobs@weft.io! Tell 'em Marc sent you.

In the Plex had an interesting section where they highlighted that Baidu vs Google in China. The interesting piece was Google was better in every way for search engine relevance except for recent events or trending topics in terms of relevance for that day. Google eventually fixed that.

My point is, to beat Google it may be better to own niche search topics or elements of search. I remember when Bing tried the aesthetics way for a while there. I'd argue in terms of value, Amazon may be the closest competitor in search to Google. Mainly because Amazon's search data is extremely valuable as these are people set on buying things.

>whole patent system is mindbogglingly stupid.

The patent system serves a purpose: In the case of drug patents, it enables drug research to exist at all.

It's crazy expensive to bring a new drug to market. Unless we're going to have the government fund all new drug research, we need patent protection for drug development. I'd be happy to mass-invalidate all patents that don't actually have serious R&D dollars behind their creation (the idea of the patent protecting the small inventor hasn't been true for many years), but that becomes a difficult threshold to quantify.

And as the EFF points out, this patent is not valid under current law. It doesn't satisfy the most basic criteria of "novelty." No matter how much we improve the PTO, there will still be stupid patents that leak through. What's broken is that, once issued, such a patent is hard to tear down (and there are probably thousands of such patents already issued).

We need a vastly simplified and streamlined way to tear down obviously bad patents like this. The PTO has reached out in the past to get help from experts in judging patents; extend that to reviewing existing patents, and give the PTO an explicit mission to seek-and-destroy such patents since they are measurably hurting the tech economy.

Cut out the bureaucratic obstacles to destroying patents that show no novelty. Make a patent challenge a process that takes no more than a month, and that reliably invalidates or limits the scope of broad-reaching patents, so that if you get a bogus letter demanding payment for some patent that never should have been issued, you could potentially drag out the negotiations long enough for the patent to be rendered null and void.

That would destroy the Patent Troll business model.
But not everyone can afford to have a business fail. And most do.
I like the attention they brought to the angle/attitude of the 'e'. Never appreciated before how it has a friendlier feel.

The Space-Glider (2000)
Distilled (www.distilled.net) is hiring in London (UK), New York City (NYC) and Seattle WA - all permanent, full-time roles.

We have a whole host of open positions: https://www.distilled.net/jobs/

We recently had an all-hands email thread where the whole team discussed what brought them to Distilled, and why they are still here. It got many great replies (including a number talking about how people's friends had typically had 2-3 jobs in the time they'd been with us), but this one stood out:

"A combination of an informal environment, freedom, and high expectations - I wanted a place where I could be myself and grow doing/learning things that I was passionate about, while having lots of smart people around me to collaborate with in doing so. I came from a huge, strictly regimented and siloed company, and was fed up with being told "that's a great idea, but it's not your job", and Distilled seemed to be the polar opposite."
This is the first thing I saw, a play on "alphabet" lettering you'd see on a classroom wall. I dig it with that in mind.

>honestly it's quite annoying to have someone tell you so with the intention of taking you down a peg.

haha, I guess I hurt the feelings the open source community. BOO HOO!!
how do you rotate a perfect circle
Yes, anytime there is a logo change there is a bunch of marketing talk about why. It's all bullshit. At the end of the day it was because someone wanted to make their mark and got a chance to do it. A tweaked logo won't affect Google's outcome one iota.

And it will be slightly changed in another couple of years by some new VP who wants to shake things up and get that next promotion.
Nice design, but dynamic logos for two days in a row... I don't know...

If anyone needs that, to disable these logos just add this URL:

How to Stay Inspired on a Daily Basis
Linux Foundation offering free Chromebook when you register for training course
This is great, but how does it compare to H.265/HEVC? And any news on hardware decoding support? IMO, hardware support is the thing that really makes a difference from a consumer experience point of view (more than patents). It's what allows one to watch hours of video without the device getting hot or losing too much battery life.
It looks a bit like Circular, which has also been adopted by Alphabet (see the page source for abc.xyz), Google's parent company. Circular has been quite popular of late with many companies adapting and adopting it for their identity.
Akkroo (https://akkroo.com) • Westminster, London, UK • ONSITE • Web Developer/Designer, full-time

Relatively flat design is here to stay for a while. The trend though is getting away from purely flat, to flat with subtle edges, gradiens, shadows, etc. - generally flat design with better UI cues.

Does the Honeywell integrate with your utility to provide you rebates if you use their load shedding program?

Are you saying the Nest now has direct integration with utility real-time programs, or is this just a rebate check you get from your utility for buying the setback thermostat?
I've been using it while they were gearing up to MVP and I can dispel some of those:

1) there is none. It's about as fast as PostMessage can pump data into an iframe, so it's _much_ faster than something like live-server, and because it watches file changes faster than something like webpack, it even seems a touch faster than webpack-hotreload (although their MVP can't do hotswapping of individual files yet)

2) fair point! I've found this great for PoC and article work. Just creatively write some code, polish it a little until it's good enough to treat as a first push for a new repo, and then export the filesystem as a zip so I can push it up to git later. That said, I _have_ already made some things of which I thought I was going to put it on git, but then just kept working on in Thimble instead because there wasn't actually any reason to put it on git: The code's already accessible because everyone can hit "remix" and I don't need to deal with gh-pages branches because the project's autohosted for free =)

3) not sure this one applies, since it's explicitly for building web content. It's an MVP atm so base html, css, javascript, fonts, etc. all work, and things like coffee script or JSX just require you to add a transformer library the way you'd do if you weren't bundling code. No complaints on that so far (might change, but I'm pretty cool with what it does right now)

4) which one? http://blog.humphd.org/thimble-and-bramble explains that this is literally just the Brackets code editor, running in the browser, and pretty much any Brackets extension will work with it, so if you can find your favourite syntax highlighter and file an issue against https://github.com/humphd/brackets to have it added to the default set, problem solved!

It's not which is more likely to pay off. Make enough broad patents and you'll find people who infringe.

Making a product and making it profitable are both things that take a lot of work. These people are looking to extort money for basically no work aside from choosing who to sue and sending threat letters.
I think you guys have a very unique and amazing interview process btw :D
