Twitch is hiring backend engineers and product managers. We also have several openings for director level roles.

Twitch is building the future of interactive entertainment, and video is at the very core of that vision. If you eat thundering-herd problems for breakfast, if you think handling data by the terabit per second sounds cool, and if you've ever asked yourself 'but what if we lose a second backbone link?' then we want you to come help scale our system another order of magnitude. You will get to join an awesome team working on solving massive and difficult problems over a large array of domains: from distributed real-time load balancing, to protocol-aware reverse proxies, to distributed job scheduling, or figuring out how to safely max out 20 Gb NICs while ensuring high quality of service.

(http://careers.stackoverflow.com/company/linkable-networks)

* Company Summary

Linkable Networks was founded on the premise that the disconnect between digital media and physical retail was a major gap in delivering a great experience to consumers. Since 2011, we’ve been nose-down building a scalable platform that provides brands and retailers the ability to engage, reward and incent their consumers directly and across any channel – online, mobile and in-store. We pioneered the concept of card-linked-offers and have taken it to the next level – always-on loyalty. Both our self-service and SaaS-based platforms enable the creation of actionable ads, coupons, offers, promotions, rebates and more that let you reward loyalty... not just discount a purchase. This is the future of Loyalty.

* Technology Stack

Java, Spring, Sharded MySql, Redis, RabbitMQ

* Additional Info

We're wired into card networks and processors. We have a broad range of customers from grocery giant SuperValu where we're deployed with a first of its kind card-linked SKU offer solution to FanBank where we help enable community based Loyalty programs.

We run an agile shop with 80 successful sprints under our belts. Our process has been improved over the 5 years we've been running it so that we deliver on time and without drama. Our engineers don't sit in meetings they build solutions.

We're looking for solid Java engineers to join our team and help us build out the next level of capabilities on our platform.

hi jbdowney, any information on whether you folks accept H1-B?
Except that it did not happen as advertised. Peak oil was advertised as "running out of oil period," not "running out of easy-to-access oil." The problem is that for as long as we have been using oil, we have been running out of easy-to-access oil. U.S. production started in Pennsylvania and moved to Ohio. That was the easy-to-access oil in the late 1800s, early 1900s.

After Ohio and Pennsylvania, oil production shifted to Texas and California and then, when people found it tougher to find oil onshore they tried offshore.

There is nothing different with newer technologies like hydraulic fracturing, directional drilling, and advanced imagine.

We aren't at peak oil because extracting oil always has been heavily dependent on technology.

Here's what the peak oil chart for the U.S. looks like today:

There have been no additions to the type system since well before 1.0. I'm curious where this perception is arising from.
huh. weird. I thought it was known to be happening, but not yet widespread.

"We did not find evidence that these mechanisms have led to widespread, systemic impacts on
drinking water resources in the United States. Of the potential mechanisms identified in this report,
we found specific instances where one or more mechanisms led to impacts on drinking water
resources, including contamination of drinking water wells. The number of identified cases,
however, was small compared to the number of hydraulically fractured wells. "

Also the sort of vague claim with no support that "well it hasn't happened yet" is kind of annoying. Nothing is zero risk. we can argue about p(bad_things) <.001 or .1 or whatever, but i think it's foolish to just pretend everything will be sunshine and rainbows forever.

There is an interesting problem though which Stanford recently discussed, which is that really qualified students from families who don't think they could afford the sticker price don't even apply. So Stanford never sees these potential students even though they have a commitment that everyone who is accepted at Stanford will be accomodated in paying for it. (up to $0 for tuition).

Thus the pricing strategy masks out potentially solid students and that is a bad thing both short and long term for the University and for the country.
Stridatum LLC, Charlotte, NC | REMOTE OK

Go Developer

Stridatum is a small software development house working on a few projects in Go (Golang if you're searching this page). IoT, embedded systems, big data, you name it! We also have some opportunities in iOS and Android if you're interested in working on those too. (That is, you must have Go experience, we are not looking for iOS-only or Android-only devs).

I don't care about your experience or resume, I only care if you can code, communicate, and work well with others.

If you want to work on Go and live in a low cost of living area, we can even talk about relocation. But remote is great too (we actually don't even have an office).

Peak oil is here, and have been for more than 10 years. Yet, a phrase like this would sound impossible 15 years ago.

It's not that peak oil didn't happen, or that it wasn't traumatic. It did come, just like predicted, and we are on the way to adjust from a growth based society to a society where "if we work hard and right, we can improve the world!", and the transition has been traumatic, just like predicted.

Where predictions failed was that people expected a one in a 1000 years calamity (because it is a one in a 1000 years event), instead we got what looks like just a one in 100 years calamity.

That seems a bit high to me. I pay £650/month all-in for a room in a three-bed just around the corner from Stockwell station.

Granted, my room is small, and the only real common area is the kitchen. But the only thing I need in London is a bed and a shower, I'm spending most of my time not-at-the-flat. So it feels like the inflection point between location and price.

That isn't the point of insurance in its original sense. Insurance, originally, was about being able to reliably get the expected value out of something whose outcome would vary. Take a ship, for instance: ten ships go to the East Indies, three return laden with spice, seven sink. Expected value: some spice. So, you pool homogenous risks and investors can expect a more reliable income, less a fee for the broker and all the rest.

I would argue the word has been bent and beaten far out of its original shape into something close to what you're talking about, especially in health. It's not insurance as much as assurance. You don't pay in early in life to get the expected value later in life. That would be insurance. You fight to try and get more than you deserve when you're above the life expectancy, if you're good at paperwork. If you're bad at paperwork or a smoker, you're the one whose early death frees the medical resources and insurance money needed to pay for the one who's good at paperwork, less a fee for the broker and all the rest.

In this second meaning of "insurance" you're right, the point is totally defeated because nobody will want to "insure" a sickly old man's health just as nobody in their right mind will write fire insurance for a cigarette.

3 Israeli Startups That Didn't Need Funds to Skyrocket
The orbital mechanics in Gravity is simply wrong.

"340-360 km is reserved for polar orbits"

Consider a perfect polar orbit. At time 0, one satellite is above Yamagata heading due north , Japan and another is above Louisville, Kentucky, US also heading due north. These two satellites are on a (possible) collision course directly above the north pole, because all polar orbits go above the poles.

"Lanes" wouldn't work because of orbital decay. For example, the HST is ~550 km altitude. That's close enough that natural atmospheric reentry would happen in about 20 years. If that were to occur, it would descend through the lower 'lanes'.

Rather, it would only work if every satellite had active station keeping, had an active method to quickly deorbit, never failed, and never blew up (as DMSP-F13 is believed to have exploded due to a battery charging system - http://www.space.com/29996-us-military-satellite-explosion-d... ).

But if those assumptions are assumed, then we wouldn't have collisions in the first place.

Data Driven Sales That Scale: Building AI That Sells [Video and Slides]
LeadGenius Co-Founder and Chief Scientist (and YC alum '11), Anand Kulkarni, discusses the future of automated, data driven sales at the SVDE Meetup Group presented by Treasure Data.

http://blog.leadgenius.com/data-driven-sales-that-scale-ai-that-sells/

The claim: in 10 years, the job of salespeople will be replaced by artificial intelligence.

From the presentation:

1. Company search can be attacked with large-scale crawling, human computation, entity resolution, and careful data updates

2. Buying intent can be deduced automatically based on classifiers but is done better with human computation

3. Email communication is complex, has a lot of interesting subproblems, and is solvable!

>not being able to block ads on Android

Not only are there multiple browsers that block ads on android (including firefox, Adblock Browser for Android, nochromo). There are also non-root apps that block ads in other apps by using an on-device proxy (ad blockplus, adguard). There are also very powerful root apps that remove ads from browsers and apps (such a minminguard, which eliminates app ads entirely so that it doesn't even leave behind an empty UI box).

2) Mind that I was searching for a room, so I haven't looked much into studios, but I haven't been able to find a studio for less than 1000£ for a short let.

Note that there are "studios" which are in fact shared with other people in the same house, so not really a studio.
We can also detach this from MIT and Caltech, who have stiff general education requirements, a term of the calculus beyond the AP Calculus BC sequence, and calculus based mechanics and E&M. Last time I checked, in the 80s I think, Harvard required you to prove you could do algebra (that said, at the other end they have the hardest undergraduate math course in the US if not world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Math_55 (they've been very strong in math for a long while), it's the sort of place where if you're willing to work hard, you can get a world class education).

I'm pretty sure MIT will give extra weight to an alum's child, but that's only after he or she passes the "can they do the work" cut (as of some years ago but in this century, 13,000 applied, 3,000 made that cut for a class of 1100). They might not be up for a physics degree, but there's plenty of other tasty STEM majors. The one example I knew who followed that pattern and become a materialist (Materials Science and Engineering); she struggled a bit, but it wasn't that hard.

Similarly, every black I met or worked with was entirely qualified to be there.

From what I'm reading, it sounds like the p2p insurance is intended to cover a portion of the deductible. This would allow the members of the pool to choose higher deductible plans than they would otherwise be comfortable with. If someone develops a chronic illness which is expected to always eat up the pool they would probably be booted after the first year.
