Lola Travel Company - http://lolatravel.com/ | Web & Server Developers | Boston, MA and Westford, MA | Full-time | On-site

Lola Travel is a well-funded team that is looking to build the next great travel company in Boston. We hire for the person, not for the role. We look for people who have excelled on teams, including multi-year commitments to teams which have built successful mass-market consumer technology products.

A critical part of our success is a special web app that we have in mind. We need some real wizards at building fast, reliable HTML+CSS+JS web applications and scalable/reliable infrastructure to support our travel apps and web sites. Sorry, we are being coy about exactly what this app will do, but it something we think other folks are not paying attention to, and we don’t want to even bring it up.

If you join us, we promise this will be the most fun job of your career, and that you will be more productive here than you've been on any prior team. You will get to invent stuff, and to try it rapidly.
Meet the team here: http://lolatravel.com/team/, complete job descriptions here: http://lolatravel.com/jobs/ and send us a note at hello@blade.net. Thanks!
That sounds like a great strategy. Thanks for sharing it.
It's way easier to acquire stuff than it is to get rid of it, whether it's website bloat or personal possessions. It takes discipline to adhere to procedures that trim unneeded code / dependencies as they loses relevance. If you don't do it while the reason the code was put in in the first place was fresh in mind, there will be a natural tendency to kick the can down the road.
I don't doubt that your observed correlation is true, but I think you have cause and effect reversed.

When I understand material, it's easy to copy it down in its entirety because I can internalize and reproduce the meaning. In this case I'm with you that taking notes is a net positive, because it lets you exercise the concepts as you "copy" them.

However, when I don't understand material, copying it down is much more challenging. I can't internalize the meaning so I have to resort to glyph reproduction which is a much heavier cognitive burden and much less instructive. This makes it even harder to keep up let alone untangle the conceptual debt that got me into the situation to begin with. In this case I think notes are a net negative.

If you let people make the choice on their own, the kids who get the material but don't want to take notes suffer. If you force people to take notes, the people who are already having trouble suffer even more. Therefore I tend to favor giving (and receiving) choice. An exception would be online classes which have pause buttons that conveniently bypass the tradeoff.

Beaker Notebook - http://BeakerNotebook.com - Fullstack Dev - onsite in NYC

The Beaker team develops a web UI and IDE for statistical modeling, data analysis, and visualization. Beaker is open source, based on a modern Angular frontend, nginx and a collection of servers, mostly JVM-based. The work is done primarily on Github (https://github.com/twosigma/beaker-notebook) outside the corporate network, making for a comfortable and high-velocity developer experience. We are looking for a fullstack engineer to take this complex application to 2.0, including performance optimization of IPC between multiple languages using shared memory, server architecture, collaborative realtime editing, and cluster integration. Contact me directly with any questions or to apply (spot at draves dot org).
Pittsburgh, Austin, Portland, and Raleigh - Durham also have a decent tech scene and sane housing prices.
But one could argue that Manhattan's ultra density tends to geographically consolidate lots of the craziness to a small area. The outer boroughs are quite reasonable in comparison to either the article, SF or Manhattan, but are still within NYC boundaries.

Bing returning highly censored results in China – any insight?
Bing suddenly started returning highly censored results on its China-facing search engine. Non-sensitive subject words still return very few results, extremely poor results and only from 'official' websites like chinadaily or other government sites.

Any insight here? Is this just censorship as usual, is it something new, or is it just a Bing screwup? Any thoughts appreciated!
> conservative, propagandist mouth-piece like Breitbart is a shining example of unbiased journalism

Breitbart is hardly an unbiased source, but it's not all bad --- Breitbart's coverage of SJW overreach in technology has been particularly informative --- and its pieces are generally fact-based. Breitbart is one of the only publications willing to talk about left-authoritarian overreach in technology.

It's depressing and demoralizing when major publications like The Atlantic and the New York Times act as stenographers for the grievance industry, when they publish lies like the wage gap as truth, when they unerringly support one side's claims of harassment and ignore bad behavior on the other side. The New York Times, in particular, feels like it's one step short of just running "#KILLALLMEN" as a front-page editorial.

Fortunately, these publications are increasingly out of step with public opinion, so much so that many of them are shutting down their comments sections. (No, people who disagree with you are not "trolls".)
The ISS delivered far more bang for the buck than quite a few other megaprojects.

Last but by no means least it provided a target for the nascent private space industry, leading to things like reusable rockets. That would have been possible without it, but it's being there helped.
Amazon Flex | Seattle, Toronto, Phoenix, Austin [All ONSITE] | SDEs, Interns, SDETs | https://flex.amazon.com/

I'm an SDE on a Toronto-based team. This whole org is still being bootstrapped, and we need to hire more talented developers.

Amazon’s new delivery platform, Amazon Flex, aims to delight customers by delivering millions of packages faster than ever before. We are expanding our platform rapidly to new geographies and products from groceries to big-screen TVs in an increasingly complex transportation network.

Our Transportation Technology group is responsible for designing and implementing software that makes the delivery of these items possible in one hour or less. We are building software that predicts, plans, schedules, routes and executes on the speedy delivery promise in a cost effective manner.

Software at Amazon is typically "use whatever works best", but so far my corner of Flex has mostly been AWS and Java 8.

While it's perfectly reasonable to criticize housing policies that restrict density, there are plenty of densely-built areas of the world that also have very high real estate prices (NY, London). Silicon Valley/SF has become this perceived mecca of the tech world both because of the concentration of certain types of tech companies and the other nice features of northern California. But the reality is that there's an upper limit to how many people can live in a given area--even if more housing and transportation were built.
Congratulations! Your past views are incompatible with the present mob. You are now disqualified from running a technology company.

We help solve problems like the multi-billion dollar asset repositioning problem (people literally ship empty containers to try to meet customer demand) and answer questions like is the port of long beach about to go on strike, is my shipment going to get stuck in customs, and who's the best person to ship with between point A and B (among a bunch of other things)?

there is a lot more at play here than NIMBY-ism http://greyenlightenment.com/why-bay-area-real-estate-keeps-...
Exactly. There's an awkward, obvious shift in the article where it turns an age-old riddle that goes back way farther than 1967 into a rant that covers everything from DRM and jailbreaks and chain of trust to "morally ambiguous" and "exploitative overseas labour arrangements." It's not a tech article, it's a manifesto.

Write the same article over and over for 15 years at a Zine and I guess they'll eventually let you spew it at The Guardian provided you refer to the subway as "tube" and spell labor with a "u."

These are important issues that deserve far better presentation. Sourcing quotes from people actually doing the work and manufacturing the vehicles. Getting statements of policy from regulators on the record. Strengthening the ethical argument by having someone besides the author say it.
It is nearly impossible to build up in Silicon Valley, due to prop-13 driven NIMBY-ism. Thanks to prop-13, most of the people that bought their houses in the 60s and 70s have not been forced to sell due to real estate taxes on their absurdly overpriced homes. These people vote, and they are dead-set against anything that "changes the character of the neighborhood". That translates to anything other than single-story, single family housing.

Add to that the fact that most of the "new" people who would benefit from an increased housing supply are in multiple non-voting demographics (young, non-citizen immigrants of various visa statuses), and the old-timers hold all the political power. Why would they ever vote for anything that might decrease their property values? If you talk to them in person, they will occasionally grumble about traffic, or that they have to drive 1.5 hours to visit their grandchildren (because their children cannot afford to live in the area), but they will not actually do anything to change it. The reliably vote against universal mass transit in the valley, and against dense housing.

The only logical choice is not to play the game at all. Most large employers with satellite offices in other areas of the company do not give an appropriate salary penalty for living in a low-cost area of the company -- at least nothing that resembles the actual cost of living difference between silicon valley and other markets. So the best option is to work for a company where you can transfer to an satellite office in a low cost city (eg, Google Pittsburgh), or to just work for a company that allows telecommuting (which is what I did).
Portland's housing market is incredibly hot right now and their prices are definitely edging out of (if not already) sane territory. The big difference is that you don't have to go quite so far out of town to get back to better prices.
Are list comprehensions still part of ES7? It's strange that Babel removed the list comprehension transformer recently, but I haven't been following closely.

The Elixir pipe syntax is reminiscent of Clojure's ->/->>:

(->> (range 1 10)
(map #(* % %))
(filter (partial > 40)))

It's nice that in languages like Haskell or ML this is trivial:

infix |>
fun (a |> b) = a b

You could modify this to let NONE fall through, etc.
> anyone receiving threats online should report it to law enforcement

The fact that you suggest this is proof that you've never had to do so. This is literally part of what I do for a living. I work with people going to law enforcement, sometimes as an advocate. Your local police have no idea what their laws are regarding online stalking/harassment, nor do they have interest in prosecuting it without a significant amount of external prodding, usually from reporters. You're welcome to look up anything I've written on the subject about this for reference.

Not to mention, when they load up on all the new stuff, they try it out on fairly modern machines and it loads well enough, with a load time that's just good enough, so there's even less motivation to trim down.

I also would love to have leaner websites and less bloat, but I recognize that good enough still passes for good enough. It's only when they go past a tipping point do people pay attention, such as when iMore got called out by John Gruber.

This has been the case forever though. Back in the 1980s, northern California jobs didn't compensate for higher cost of living even relative to fairly expensive east coast cities. And the cost of living in crappy apartments in Manhattan was a trope back then as well.

All of this is true, from a technical standpoint, but does any of it really matter in the modern world?

This sounds a bit like a structural engineer designing an elegant, perfectly constructed shopping mall, and then complaining about the massive corporate/commercial, orgiastic takeover that occurred after the mall opened.

With the exception of bandwidth concerns on data-capped mobile plans and diehard *nix fans that do all their web browsing with Lynx, why does bloat matter? Every one of those linked sites loaded on my home 10Mbps connection in <1 second to my eyes.

Hightower Inc | New York (ONSITE) | Full Stack Engineers

We met one of our first engineers via HackerNews on this day two years ago (hi @erikwithfriends!) and since then have grown to a 20 person product team, and are still recruiting :)

Hightower is a workflow and collaboration platform for commercial real estate leasing. Hightower replaces clunky Excel and email workflows with a simple, beautiful and purpose-designed tool. In the past two years, we've grown from 3 to 65 people, raised $21 million from BVP, Thrive and RRE, and today power leasing at many city landmarks in New York, San Francisco and other cities around the world.

We're hiring full stack developers to join our development team. You'll be working in small collaborative groups with interaction designers and product managers at our SoHo office (pictures here: https://goo.gl/hno0mi). Our stack is RoR and AngularJS and ~50% of our engineering team hails from Pivotal Labs & ThoughtWorks.

Drop me a line if you're interested in learning more about how we work, and what happened when a modern technology startup met an industry still playing catch up with the Internet - niall.smart (at) gethightower.com.
I tried the thread couple of times but got no leads.
Economics is all about supply and demand. The article you quote lists several reasons for high demand (all of which I agree with). On the flipside, the prop-13 driven NIMBY-ism restricts the supply. Together they result in the perfect storm of an insane market where you have to submit a picture of your family along with an essay when you bid on a house.

My theory is that prop 13 is the root of all evil. If it were repealed, and the old timers were forced to pay market rate taxes on their houses (and hence forced to sell out), it would change the voting demographics. Eventually, zoning rules and city plans would be relaxed to allow taller, higher density housing. This would gradually ease the supply side, and result in a larger supply, and hence lower prices. That's how it seems to work in many other markets.
