REMOTE | Pasadena, CA | QLess (http://www.qless.com)

Waiting in line sucks. We're working to eliminate waiting in line, and have saved users over 1,200 years of time so far. We make it easy to get in line with a text or app, and then be notified when it's your turn, so you can use your time as you see fit.

I've been working at QLess for about a year now and love it. The team is all remote so you have the freedom to work from where ever you want (typing this from South America right now). My coworkers here are very smart, dedicated, and welcoming, and it feels good to work on a product that helps people save time every day.

Hiring a Java Software Engineer, see http://www.qless.com/careers/java-engineer/ for more details.

Also feel free to contact me with any questions: craig at qless.com
Is there room for an app here, where you can declare your need for help, and the store can respond (by queuing it or whatever)?
Naturally, anyone within earshot of an idiot with a smartphone has opted in as well?
That's... a very good point.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE (Denver)

Hey all, I do marketing. My big claim to fame is I helped take one of my clients to #1 grossing in eduction in both the iTunes and Google Play store(s) all on an ROI positive budget.
I follow an agile approach to marketing that rejects long form marketing plans and embraces testing and quick iterations. Data is my friend. I believe wholeheartedly in measuring everything and letting the results drive my decision making process. If you want to get inside my head this piece essentially sums up my approach to marketing.

www.jeromysonne.com/musings/2015/8/23/i-have-no-clue-how-to-market-your-company

Typically I break things down into week long sprints with dedicated hours where I work on as many things as possible. I can do anything in regards to marketing, but I'm particularly good at:

Mobile App Install Ads
Social Advertising
Organic Social Strategy
Email Marketing
User On-boarding/Activation Consulting
Content Marketing
Lead Generation
Product Market Fit/Customer ID Consulting

If you need a data driven marketer with proven results, feel free to reach out: jeromy@sonnetaylor.com
Windows Hello facial logins on the new Surfaces are rather impressive
I agree with you.
I refuse to view any ads whatsoever. There isn't a single website on the internet that I can't do without.
As long as I can control what I view on my own device, I will. I have no problem with a business model dying, it's the way of the world. I'm a musician myself, and the business model has changed so much that music is virtual worthless in the market. That's ok with me.
Imploding coils. This stuff gets me every time I see it - chills down the spine. You can induce a field in the MEGAtesla range for an infintesimal amount of time. Take a copper (or superconductor, if you're feeling ballsy) coil, run a huge current through it from your enormous capacitor bank, set off a wad of high explosive surrounding the apparatus - the near-instantaneous collapse of the conductor causes the field within to become absolutely enormous - and equally importantly the Ts-1 - i.e. the rate of change of the field - again, you can induce enormous currents outside of the apparatus through induction.

This technique is mostly used in solid state and, surprise surprise, fusion experiments. Oh, and you can make an EM bomb if you make a big enough one, and wipe out a city's electronic infrastructure in a microsecond. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux_compre...

The delayed amount was not a fixed amount but calibrated to another subject's total sleep, so you can't say exactly how much each one was delayed by overall:

"RSO
During Nights 2–4 of RSO, subjects’ total sleep opportu-
nity period was restricted and yoked to the amount of total
sleep time achieved by a matched subject in the FA group.
This was accomplished by delaying the RSO subject’s bedtime
and keeping a fixed wake time. For example, if an FA subject
achieved 210 min of total sleep time on Night 2, the yoked
RSO subject would be provided a 210-min opportunity for
undisturbed sleep (bedtime 03:30, wake time 07:00) on Night
2. Subjects in the RSO condition were monitored polysomno-
graphically for an entire 8-h period."
The lower-classes care about it now, and the middle classes are beginning to care more about it; and many of them don't care about the type of evidence you have mentioned. This is why left-wing politics is seeing a resurgence with Corbyn in the United Kingdom and Sanders in the United States.

The happiest countries in the world are those where income equality between the residents of the country is more evenly distributed, people want fairness. The greater concentration of wealth to fewer people and businesses will likely in the near future cause further social upheaval amongst the masses, i.e. those that consider the current system unfair.

Roxhill Media | London, UK | PHP Developer | Onsite

We combine analysis of live media sources - from national papers to twitter - with a comprehensive graph of journalists, figures, organisations and topics, to provide valuable insight to our users in the world of PR. Since launching last November we now count many of the world's largest financial institutions and consultancies amongst our happy paying customers. We distinguish ourselves by the quality of our product, our agility, and our use of cutting-edge, thoughtfully applied technology.

We need developers to design & build a mixture of REST APIs and microservices - backed by an exciting mixture of tools, technologies and data - to deliver our ever-expanding and improving product. While not an Ops role, you'll also be involved in the day-to-day maintenance and deployment of the product, and the fully-containerised infrastructure it runs on.

You should have commercial experience in:

- PHP 5.3+ (or similar) for several years.
- Using an MVC framework.
- Designing and implementing a RESTful API.
- Integrating with other services and data stores.
- Implementing best practices on all levels, from syntax to structure and architecture.
- Scaling up.
- Planning for failure and learning from it.

Bonus points if you’ve worked with any of these which we use extensively:

Elasticsearch; Redis; Big MySQL tables; Docker; DynamoDB (or other distributed KV stores); MapReduce; Continuous Integration; Queues (asynchronous, event-based architectures).

It's not as simple as that. Does Google show the most relevant information, or does it show a non-profit link that suppresses its competitors, and that it can scrape without any legal issues? Does it promote Wikipedia to give its search results authority, even when other sites may have better and more accurate information? I explore some of these issues here: http://newslines.org/blog/google-and-wikipedia-best-friends-...
Ask HN: Looking for parent-friendly tech conferences
It seems like several of the larger conferences, such as PyCon, have begun offering child-care during the conference sessions so that parents who might not otherwise be able to attend can bring the kids along.

I'm curious if you know of any other parent-friendly conferences of interest to HN readers. If you know of one, could you post the conference name and its website, and (if you happen to know) the cost of childcare and the quality of the program?

There are 2 or 3 escape rooms in Cleveland and 2 in Pittsburgh. I've done one in each city - they were decent, but in both cases many of the clues were for 3-digit combo locks which were easy to brute-force after getting some of the clues. Working with strangers is also interesting (most have a 8 or 10 person quota per room). Anyhow, they are pretty fun. It's like Myst in real life.

Back in the old days, (early 1990's) when I was starting out on the internet, there was very little advertising. What advertising there was, was relatively unobtrusive. People were putting up content for personal reasons, passion or desire to share and communicate with an audience. The era of the mom making a living with a blog hadn't begun. Frankly, it was a better time. Sure the technology was limited, but things were simpler and much more exciting. There isn't a single blog on the internet that I can't do without.

CloudFlare https://www.cloudflare.com/ | San Francisco, CA; London, UK; Singapore, SG | VISA, ONSITE

CloudFlare is building a better Internet -- performance and security optimization at the edge. Our long term goal is to give every site the same performance, security, and reliability that major sites like Google and Facebook accomplish, without any specialized network hardware or complicated administration. We enhance over 2 million sites, including this one.

We're hiring for a variety of roles -- started the year at 128, over 200 now, and hope to end around 256. This is a perfect time to join -- product market fit is established, but there's a lot of great engineering, product, sales, and support work to be done. We've publicly said we're profitable and on track for long term independent success.

You may wish to check out our blog to see the kinds of engineering work we do. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/).

https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a listing of positions.

We're always hiring for operations/SRE, sales, general systems engineering (mostly in Go, nginx, and network, as well as DNS at scale), and web development.

Specific roles we're keen to hire include:

0) Great operations/SRE staff: operating our system at scale (65+ datacenters around the world, 24x7 coverage, millions of sites) requires highly competent, hard-working, and communicative engineers.

1) Billing engineer -- someone to take the lead as we build a new billing system.

2) Great front-end engineers -- building new UI/UX to expose controls and data to customers is an increasing portion of what we do

3) Principal Engineer -- owning the WWW stack which we use for control and administrative functions internally and for customers, and managing a move to a modern microservices model.

We've recently opened a Singapore office and are hiring sales/support/operations personnel there.

> The developers of BeOS went on to do Android

I haven't heard of this before, so I went searching. The only pieces I could find are:

Several ex-Be employees went to work for Danger after the company told to Palm. Some of them moved on to Android, which was co-founded by Danger co-founder Andy Rubin and acquired by Google. Others stayed on at Palm, but ended up joining Google after PalmSource (which was spun out of Palm) was acquired by Access. (http://readwrite.com/2011/06/29/a-look-back-at-the-beos-file...)

Today (June 2004), Baron [Arnold] and a bunch of other ex-Be engineers are working at Danger. (http://www.osnews.com/story/7265)

So, "Baron Arnold and a bunch of others" went from Be to Danger Inc., which was acquired by Microsoft in 2008. Andy Rubin went on from there to become one of the four founders of Android, Inc., but I can't find any indication of Andy Rubin having worked for Be, and none that other people followed him from Danger.

Is there more to it?

Edit: a few more citations (still rather vague):

Many of Be's engineers moved on to a company called Danger, the company behind the Sidekick. When Danger founder Andy Rubin left the company in 2003 to found Android,[...] many of those developers went with them. (http://www.slideshare.net/newsworthy2457/this-os-almost-made...)

As for Android, Andy Rubin, the founder of Android inc and current head of Android at Google, also worked at Danger, a company where several Be employees such as Baron Arnold ended up. The Kin project, which largely inspired the UI of Windows Phone 7, was created by Danger after it became part of Microsoft. Unfortunately after Microsoft axed the OS Danger was working on, Project Pink, and the Kin was a dismal failure, nearly all of the Danger employees left Microsoft (including of course Andy Rubin), leaving little if any shipped code behind. (http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=25221) (Not sure if calling Rubin "the founder" is misleading since they were 4 co-founders.)

Edit 2:

Danger were made up with more than just ex-Apple employees. A number of the engineers from Be Inc ended up there (Ficus Kirkpatrick, for example, and Baron Arnold also) and Danger was the genesis from which Android was born. (http://www.osnews.com/comments/27498?view=flat&threshold=0&s...) (Not providing details on what influence Danger had on Android other than Rubin, either.)
> Proper async plugins are the killer feature.

I hope there's more that than. I personally don't use any plugins for which this is a problem. Not doubting those plugins exist, but apparently you can get by as a Vim user without them.

I see potential for the embedding api. If I could run Vim on a server and connect to it from a web app I would find that to be very compelling. Maybe there are other features that will set it over the top, but I'm still waiting.
Thought this was going to be about Adaboost on Apache Spark, but it is not!
Most people who make more than 150k annually consulting do it by managing a team of consultants. An important reason we're always telling people to raise their rates is that --- unless your rates are way too low --- a sole practitioner can almost never extrapolate their rate to figure out what their annual take-home will be.
Still the point is valid - the wildcard "anybody can edit" is not at all true, for many of the most 'followed' pages. Which are the one that are most interesting to change.

I've had old company listings disappear because they had no links. The company is gone! History! Nothing to link to. So that meant some busybody made it their job to delete that piece.
