It looks to be one of those trends which at fist is dazzling but then gets overused and people grow tired of it and go back to emphasizing other aspects.

The current climate is such that presentation rules over all else. It needs to look good in Instagram. Flavor is taking a back seat.
There was a restaurant which was going against this trend, but, unfortunately also in a trendy way. They'd serve you dinner in near darkness. But of course the food wasn't normal food, they had to reel people in with unusual foods to make the experience more "memorable".
My experience has been that the only people with the desire to put effort into an alternative are mainly interesting in making sure there are so many flash ads on every single page that it can crash your browser.
I think if you're Amazon you can get away with barebones web design.

But for a service like yours, I need a lot more oompf in your documentation, sales pitch, or UX to know that it's not a thin layer of SES.
Thanks, I'm often amazed how many people like zanny are incapable of seeing the likely future for societies who's economic and social models are dependent upon constant expansion. At this point in time it is simply too late for most of the EU and Asian nations, it is not a question of if but how the population will react when things begin to unravel. The Demographics of said nation's give us a very good idea of when.

Kuali | Lehi, UT, possibly REMOTE | Full Stack Javascript Engineer

Kuali builds open source higher ed solutions in a competitive space where users are just waiting to be delighted.

Why join us? Our work matters — we’re helping our customers improve the quality of education by decreasing administrative costs. We compete in a competitive space where users are saddled with outdated, inefficient, legacy ERPs and eager to be delighted. We’re generating revenue and growing quickly with nearly 150 customers and 50 employees. You’ll have a significant impact on what we do and how we do it because we are an empowered group of entrepreneurs. Plus, you’ll get to work with some truly amazing people at a fast-growing, design-centric EdTech startup.

Kuali is committed to open source software development funded by SaaS revenue and development projects. If you’re looking to make your fortune off a quick flip with no business model, you’d be happier someplace else. The Kuali community recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary, and the participating colleges & universities are rooting for us to deliver something amazing with the next generation of Kuali products.

We offer a truly exceptional benefits package including full premium coverage for employee and dependent medical and dental care. We offer 401(k) matching, employee profit sharing and all the paid-time off that you need (just work it out with your manager).

If these company values appeal to you then we should talk:
- Delivery Amazing Experiences
- Cultivate Openness
- Iterate to Evolve
- Act with Accountability
- Assume the Best
- Practice Humility

Our products help universities and colleges manage their administrative business so they can focus on their mission of teaching and learning. They replace cumbersome legacy systems built by big ERP companies. Our Financials product has been in production since 2008 and is used in multiple countries. It has improved efficiencies and audit experiences for our customers but needs improvement in the areas of user experience, configurability, extensibility, and fit for the cloud and continuous delivery. And, of course, there are tons of new features we would like to add. In the past year, we’ve made great progress. Our team’s knowledge and skills are deep and wide, we work hard, we are open and collaborative (everyone has a voice and contributes), and we have fun. We’d love your help as we continue to evolve.

No chance of NYC-based work? This sounds like a dream job but I can't relocate to London
Some of the data sets used end in 2002 or 2006, and I am not aware of any reason why we would expect different findings from more recent data. Using data from the great recession and the current market situation may also be more confusing than elucidating.
I was unconvinced at first, but it's actually fun to try to write a story this way:

"Once upon a time there was a girl who lived in the forest. This was a green bushy forest, full of living trees that would sing together at sunset. It was a good place to live.

One day, an army was passing by the forest and they started cutting down trees to make bonfires to spend the night. It was late autumn, and nights were getting cold and damp. The men felt as if they had icy roots delving deep into the ground, sourcing the humidity and the dampness and the cold up to their bones.

So rather than becoming frozen trees themselves, they had started felling the trees.

Many trees had been felled already, when the girl noticed. She had stepped out for a walk, to check that the little birds had enough to eat in the harsh weather. At first, she didn't understand what was going on. Sections of the forest that had been there for all her life, trees that looked as stable, as permanent, as fixed in place as the hills themselves, were now laying on the wet grass, chopped. It was unreal.

Red twinkling bonfires could already be seen by the encampment. A great tent was set in the middle.

In this tent, there was a great general and his son. The general was old and knotty and ruthless. The son was kind of heart, but had grown up in a violent environment and didn't know much better than his father..."
I was going to use Mandrill/Mailchimp until this fiasco. I discovered SendGrid, which has quite a lot of great features. Their free tier is pretty generous with 12k emails a month. I recommend them to people looking for an alternative to Mandrill.

Can you provide some further reading on the industrial revolution resulting in malnutrition, and during what periods and regions did this occur?

Also, it's worth noting that "real wages" is not as important as compared to what those wages can buy. Sure, someone from 100 years ago could have "real wages" much higher than mine, but it doesn't mean much to me if I can't use the wages to purchase modern indoor plumbing, air conditioning, safe travel across the world and a very high likelihood that my wife won't die in child-birth.
Hosting a lean Atlassian Connect add-on for under $40 a month
I was thinking the same thing, specifically when I scrolled down and it was talking about the safety visor- OK great it's scratch resistant, I'm sure that'll be a fantastic plus when it's out on a job site.

Awesome technology, but their marketing/information leaves a lot to be desired.
Longshot Systems | Senior Software Engineer | Marylebone, London, UK | ONSITE | Full time | £50k-£?k

Longshot Systems is a sports analytics company that provides software to assist professional gamblers to bet profitably. We need highly skilled engineers to take on all aspects of our stack. We have a distributed, event based system processing thousands of signals per second with very tight latency requirements. Our clients trade millions of pounds using our technology. We use go, java, postgres, rabbitMQ and various other technologies for the core systems.

You would have at least a few years of experience in either Go or another general systems language to a high professional standard and have been involved with handling money, distributed systems, testing, maintaining and perhaps some sysadmin skills. You'd join and help shape the architectural direction at the company and get involved in all areas of the production codebase. Knowledge of sports or betting not required.

We have an office dog, Minos, who is rather cheeky. If you need a pic to help in your decision making process, we can provide.

Our customary office hours are week days from 10 til 6. If that's not good for you, let us know, we're flexible.

Unfortunately we can't support visa applications at this time. If you would like to apply or request further information, email me at jobs@longshotsystems.co.uk

OpenDataSoft | Paris, France (onsite) | Full-time
https://www.opendatasoft.com/company/jobs/

We're a small 4-years-old company (21 employees at the moment, including 11 R&D engineers) building a SaaS platform to help governments and companies to share their data, ranging from the typical opendata platform to an internal sharing platform, and anything in between. Our product targets regular users, not technical users, and aims at making data publishing as easy as possible; we don't sell professional services and instead try to let our customers be as autonomous as possible with the product in a true SaaS fashion, sometimes by teaching them a few things in the process. We also try to make data exploration as easy as possible, in order to make open data reachable to any citizen or end-user.

Our stack is basically a Django (Python) project, with a data processing framework pushing stuff into Elasticsearch, which is exposed through an API allowing filtering, querying, complex aggregations, and so on. On the front-end, a lot of AngularJS hitting this API and allowing users to dynamically filter and explore datavisualizations, and an administration interface trying to solve the big challenge of making data transformation and publishing as easy as possible.

We are currently looking for:
- a front-end engineer, to work on the product's UI and data APIs (AngularJS, Python)
- a back-end engineer, to work on our data processing framework and on Elasticsearch (Python)

You can contact us directly on jobs@opendatasoft.com, even just to share a coffee and talk a bit more about what we do and what you're looking for!
Note, when it says "1.6x faster" what is really means is "1.6 as fast" or "60% faster", or really "operates at 1.6x the speed of the baseline", not "1.6x increase in speed".

For example, when looking at the data for Chrome 48's "arrow" tests [1], the baseline number is 57,858,016 and the traceur number is 91,556,806, which is 158.2% of the baseline, but is reported as "1.6x faster".

I know this seems like semantics, but "1.0x faster" sounds a lot like "twice as fast". (In this case, "1.0x faster" is reported as "identical" [2]).

most likely from a part of his body not suitable to mention here. :) But, if you get kicked out of the play store for breaking the rules, don't you also lose any funds you have earned through google?

I guess he could use mobile ads from a third party that doesn't care about the app changing names.
I worked with these guys at their previous company. Some of the smartest people I've met, get on with them if you want a winner.

I currently live in London and have never lived in SF but have travelled every year for GDC (games developer conf) for 1 week a year.

I tend to agree with the author. The place is lovely, it's almost like a heaven on earth with almost all ameneties, temperatures and people within a 3h driving time from SF, but for some reason London with it's grey grimey and dirty history has more appeal. Perhaps it's the fact that you can explore and get lost down a back alley, or that your friends tell you about this new bar which started up but is in zone 4 and you just have to see it.

I also like the fact that Tech is an asside and people are key. I don't want to live in a bubble but I love what I do. I admire mingling with the theatre crowd or simply watching the tourists navigate the bus timetables.

I think everyone has their preference, but both are fun for different reasons.

Now if you want a real up and coming tech city, I would suggest Berlin.

The cell phone, etc will be a much bigger extension. However, we still need better ways to input, organize and access the information. Handwritten notes, voice memos, pictures, drawings, unstructured and structured data, etc.

Show HN: Henkan, transformation between static and dynamic data structures
Yea in that example it might matter, but I'm seeing places where it's 10x or 100x slower. At that point, it hardly matters.
I'm not sure I follow? There are plenty of fascinating things to see or do within an hour's drive of London - it's not like cars go faster in the US, and if anything there's more variety in a small area in dense England.
Announcing Docker Cloud
To be fair, that doesn't seem all too different to the situation in the US, and this is coming from someone living in the UK. Remember, sites like Hacker News are only a small percentage of the population, and there's a much larger group either completely or nearly completely oblivious to the actions of the NSA or what not.

But yeah, people here don't really know all too much about this spying, and they sadly don't seem to care much if they do know. That depresses me, and makes me despair about how spinless much of humanity seems to have become.
I have both. I'm not saying it's the Eden of apps (Like I said, especially recently the App Review seems very lax) but the ratio of crap to useful apps is much better in the App Store in my experience.
SecOps: Put security in DevOps first, not as an add-on
If you have a list of programming heros, it would be a nice exercise to find out how many of them have their names on a software patent. Probably quite a few of them.

I don't like software patents, but having your name on one isn't the same as being a patent troll.
6 ways to develop a security culture in your organization
Other protocols are probably just as broken, we just haven't found the vulnerabilities yet. Few protocols (if any) get as much scrutiny as SSL/TLS.
I suspect that focusing on flavor and presentation are not mutually exclusive so I would think it would be easy to maintain novelty of presentation with a new creative vehicles for flavor which requires 3D printing.

Now explain how your theory fits that facts that

1) Harvard's endowment gets massive donations every year

2) Harvard has an incredibly high rate of return on invested capital, not low-risk low-reward
It's kind of awesome how good TypeScript looks in all this. Testament to the compiler talent MS has on staff.
More than paying the commissions for the salea that are finalized during the 'probation period'? The parents statement seems to be spot-on for Yelp's business standards track record.
"The "mysteriously" qualifier seems to be sarcasm by the part of the original submitter on reddit. He seems to be implying that, by being a former Google employee, this person is getting a pass or using inside information to skirt around the system.
"

Considering Robert was a product marketing manager, and thus, would not have had access to much, it's a pretty silly guess.
You know very well what is meant by "democracy" here. This kind of pedantry is not useful.
Historically, growth from agrarian to factory based economies is massive and fast once the political and capital elements are put into place. We saw this with the USSR, North Korea, China, etc. The problem is that the move past factory economies is tricky. The pre-reqs to be successful here are just much more complex. Service based economies are special and they can't be successful in a political vaccuum like factory work can. You need a lot of western ideals to make this actually work: free speech, open markets, powerful banking, strong monetary policies, anti-isolationism, free trade, employee protections, anti-corruption, capital protection, pro immigration policies, multi-party government, non-corrupt judiciary, etc.

This is why Russia stuggles now. It ignored almost all of the above and has been held up solely by its state-owned petrochemical industry and petrochemical derived reserves. I think there's a reckoning coming for the autocratic BRIC states soon. Either they'll liberalize and migrate to a US/EU model or become economic sob stories. Russia is looking at 1% contraction this year and its oil slump has moved into a real estate slump. China has a chance to fight this I suppose, but I doubt it has the political will to move away from autocracy and political oppression.

The next decade will be interesting for BRIC economies. The low hanging economic fruit in many of these countries has already been snatched up. What happens now is the big question.
