I'm not sure if a total hegemony is preferable, even if it were incredibly efficient at doing what it was meant to do. Government is one of the few human factors capable of resisting a multinational corporation. I am somewhat sympathetic to their objectives, and I can't blame them for blocking foreign competition if they feel it is in the social interest.

States tacitly support corporations that operate within them. And as we see with the embedding of the US surveillance apparatus inside of companies like Facebook and Google, they can also become dependent on these systems for their security. Security is not only related to external factors, and China apparently regards the internal dominance of WeChat as vital to its security.

Countries should be allowed to promote local media companies. They have the right. These companies are extremely powerful, and are certainly a mechanism through which propaganda flow. In fact, I'm disturbed that essential communication services may be co-opted as they have been, and I wish my government would actively support utility-like alternatives or work to suppress the negative aspects of omniscient platforms like Facebook.

Why should the whole world's communication flow through one company? This seems like an invitation to be abused by whoever has control.
Agreed, having good editors is highly valuable.
Kash (YC S14) | withkash.com | Full Stack Engineer | ONSITE in San Francisco, CA / Waterloo, ON, Canada / Toronto, ON, Canada

We're on a mission to build a new payment network as an alternative to credit cards.

Why? Credit cards impose a hidden tax on everything. The profit margin of your average neighborhood store is under 2%. A typical grocery store’s operating margin is around 1.7%. On the other hand, the typical cost of processing all payments is about 2%. As Priceonomics puts it, "Credit card fees are 2% or more of nearly pure profit."

There has been many innovations built on top of the existing credit card network, but none of those fundamentally changes the equation. Kash is changing the equation.

With the former CEO of Visa leading our board, and all the momentum we're seeing, we're confident that a new network can be built. Come chat with us to learn more if you think this is a worthy cause.

We currently use: GCE/AWS, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Docker, Kubernetes,
Angular.js, React, Objective-C for iOS, Android
We're looking for engineers with a demonstrated ability to learn and past experience building both scalable and maintainable software.

For more details and to apply, please visit http://withkash.com/careers. If you’re interested in the Toronto location, please apply to the Waterloo job posting and let us know. Please mention that you saw us on HN.

Secure Alternatives to Android
On this topic, I am working on an app that aggregates toddler music videos or nursery rhythms. It will help to occupy the child when parents are temporarily busy or calm them down in public areas.

However, I have no experience in the music / video industry. I am starting with the simplest solution: embed Youtube videos. What can I do to allow parents to legally download the videos for offline viewing? (willing partnership, free public content, have my own production, ...). The songs I am looking for are ABC, Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars, etc.
Would appreciate any feedbacks!
Volantio (YCW09) | Full Stack Engineer | Atlanta | Full-time | ONSITE

Volantio is hiring experienced full-stack developers to help fix travel tech for airlines. We make some of the world’s biggest travel sites suck less by providing technology to airlines and other travel companies (and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century). Everything we do works on improving the end-to-end airfare marketing/search/purchase process for some of the worlds biggest airlines, from being honest about prices in ads, to delivering emails that only contain real fares that you actually care about. If you’ve ever gotten an anger-inducing email from an airline with prices that are a blatant lie: we fix that.

We’re a close-knit team located in the gorgeous Flatiron building in Atlanta and have a variety of challenging work on our plates. A typical day can consist of everything from optimizing the fare prediction system in the morning to putting the finishing touches on a CSS animation in the afternoon. Our work spans multiple technologies, cultures, and languages (both programming and spoken), so we value high quality communication and a continuous process of learning from each other.

We're looking for someone with a good few years of professional software development experience that wants to work with us. Our product is built on Django/Python/Postgres/Redis/TypeScript and various other technologies used as needed. You'll be a core member of our team - able to develop the role and technology in a direction that you find exciting as we grow the company.

If this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you. Please include whatever info you believe is relevant: resume, GitHub profile, code samples, links to personal projects, etc. Apply at: jobs@volantio.com
Cool. So when can we get our hands on (or should I say hands off) developer kits?
Small radar ICs will be useful for other things.

Radar gives you range rate directly. Getting range rate from vision is hard and takes several frame times at least. If you have position and range rate and dump it into a machine learning system, gesture recognition should be straightforward.

It's not clear how useful this will be for GUIs in general. It could be useful for interacting with large screen displays, where you may be too far back for touch and a mouse is a pain. A presentation version could be useful.

(Presentations from computers still look lame. The audience usually sees the presenter's desktop while they futz with the computer, then enter PowerPoint.)

Cannot find specifics now(my N900 doesn't render many pages anymore), but it was widely known prior to 2010 that snApple slurps data every 45 min, or 16 x's a day. When I read that I thought it was an interesting coincidence that the ISS circles the Earth at the same rate.

Moat Boat is hiring two experienced programmers (San Francisco, ONSITE), one interested in leading and doing, the other more interested in doing.

Moat Boat is a tool for thinking creatively together inside virtual reality. Whatever you say, just starts happening around you. It's a little crazy. We're very early (two of us), pre-product, post-prototype, funded, and excited to be working from first principles to figure out what it means to think and create inside this new medium.

I previously made Simplenote/Simperium (YC S10), which we sold to WordPress.com, and before that I worked at Irrational Games (makers of BioShock). My co-founder Katrika led design on Labs teams for Office, Xbox, and Windows at Microsoft. It's just the two of us. This is our first public job posting. We don't have a hiring page yet. Our site will be refreshed soon (moatboat.com).

We don't have free lunch or lots of ping pong tables. We're not killing it or growing explosively or hiring Engineer #20 to fulfill specific duty X.

We do have reasonable salary, generous equity, a strategy/runway for riding out the VR hype until it goes mainstream, and many fun technical and design challenges. We're looking for another lady and/or gentleman to join the founding team as peers. A good fit could be a very experienced fullstack or frontend dev looking to dive into something more game-like, or an experienced game dev looking to build something that's not just fun, but also impactful. hello-AT our domain if you're looking for a change.
The tone of this post is quite rude and not appropriate for HN.

And yes, I am a "go getter". :)

I've gotten more than a hundred rejections in a year (140+), and i gotta say, it was terrible.

Having said that, i think this is generally good advice.

Looking back, there are a lot of similarities to the common "failed startup" experience. I worked on the novel for five years (got plenty of feedback along the way) but getting it picked up (traction?) was a bust.

And it wasn't "safe to fail" as someone mentioned up above. It hurt, emotionally, physically (90 hr weeks).

Lesson learned. I try to be comfortable with failure now, it's not a friend or anything, but it'll stop by, a lot.
Full-stack Developer (Node, React, etc) | New York or London | Full Time | roli.com/careers & blend.io/about

ROLI is fast emerging as the foremost innovators in music creation at a time when everything about how people interact with music is changing more rapidly than ever before. We invent, design, develop and manufacture entirely new music-making devices — among them the multi-award-winning Seaboard RISE, a touch-responsive instrument acclaimed as “the future of the keyboard.” But new instruments are just the beginning. We are creating a new category called Connected Music — a network of hardware, software, platform, and developer products that will revolutionize how music is made. Connected Music — like Connected Health or the Connected Home — rethinks how physical products and digital technologies interact to fundamentally transform and democratize a universal area of human experience.
With the latest round of investment (http://www.forbes.com/sites/cheriehu/2016/06/20/rolis-27-mil...) and acquisitions of JUCE, the leading C++ framework for audio applications, and Blend.io, the music collaboration network, the company is well positioned to make this vision a reality and we're looking to expand our team of polymaths who combine the creative mentality of artists and makers with the analytical rigor of scientists and engineers.

Interested? Email Alex [at] roli.com.
I would pay a decent amount for a good phone like this. I'm wondering how the ubuntu phone is doing. I'd love it to become available
While that's probably good advice for someone starting out, I've spoken several times at Security B-Sides and at a few tech events in downtown Orlando.

The rejection reason I'm always offered (when I actually receive one) is a watered-down remix of the following:

Your talk idea was excellent and highly rated! But we have
previously obligated ourselves to representing the big name
projects in the community, so we're instead going to give
this spot to someone who wants to talk about a trivial
improvement to Drupal or something only relevant to WordPress
freelancers. Also, we already have an all-day security
training and our judges toss cryptography in the same general
category, so we consider it redundant.

(This is obviously editorialized.)

There's been a lot of talk about fixing a persistent cultural problem in the PHP community, where it's always the same speakers at every PHP event. And conference organizers pay lip service to wanting to do something about it. But then they turn around and invite the same people to do the same talks/training and then block off entire categories from being spoken about by anyone else.

That's the part that actually annoys me: "We're working on this problem, but not really."

As far as infosec conferences go, I've had schedule conflicts with everything except DEFCON and Black Hat, so being rejected there is probably just, "You're aiming too high. Try again in 10 years when you have real skills."

(That being said, my DEFCON Crypto & Privacy Village talk hasn't been rejected yet, so 20 months might end up being my high score.)

We build tools that make developers more productive. Our products are LogRocket, which helps developers quickly solve bugs, and AppHub Deploy, which allows developers to update mobile applications easily and instantly.

Pixlee | San Francisco, Toronto | Full Time | ONSITE
Pixlee is revolutionizing the relationship between people and brands. We help companies leverage customer photos/videos from social media to improve marketing.

We work with over 100+ customers, including top brands such as Converse, Kenneth Cole, UGG Australia, Mattel, Charlotte Russe, Marriott Hotels, and AMC Theatres, to drive higher online conversion, increase performance of owned media, and create a more authentic brand experience. A graduate of the Stanford StartX accelerator, Pixlee is an Andreessen Horowitz and XSeed Capital portfolio company. As a rapidly growing startup, we are constantly looking for talented people to join the Pixlee team and to help us revolutionize the intersection of big data and social media. At Pixlee we work hard, love to learn, and value teamwork and humility. We’ve got a big vision and we’re looking for game changers to join our team.

We look for talented, high-potential individuals who aren’t jerks. Our proposition to them is simple: Pixlee offers a unique opportunity to thrive and grow rapidly in a small-team startup environment operating at big-company scale. Our customers are some of the largest brands in the world and everything you do here affects millions of consumers.

We believe in using the right technology for the task, and we use a mix of rails, backbone, python, scala, elasticsearch, and postgres.

For me, I've really felt that I've been able to really grow very rapidly, and also been given the autonomy to make many decisions you can't make at a much larger startup. Its a very tight knit group, and we like to have fun.

What we're looking for:
- Software Engineer (SF): https://www.pixlee.com/careers?gh_jid=86332
- Software Engineer (Toronto): https://www.pixlee.com/careers?gh_jid=221012

Should you hire me? I'll give you 10 facts about myself. Decide for yourself:

1. As a kid I taught myself to program using Borland Turbo C++ for DOS and Deitel's C How to Program book

2. I've been on the internet since the days of Trumpet Winsock and NCSA Mosaic. I used HotDog to create my first website in 1997 (and yes, it had an under construction gif and a download Netscape link)

3. I've been a FreeBSD user since 2001, although at one point I administered a few Linux servers for a living

4. I was the sole developer of two different startups. One based in the UK (2006-2007) and another in Buenos Aires / New York (2010-2011). Details in résumé

5. I used to be active at Rent-a-Coder, my profile with a
decade long track record of perfect scores and rave reviews over a wide variety of technologies is still available: https://www.freelancer.com/u/denep.html

6. At one point or another I've been paid to develop in Python, JavaScript, C, PHP, Perl, x86 Assembly, C++, Java, Matlab, Delphi and others

7. I've worked 10+ years remotely. Both with Americans and Europeans

8. I've taken a couple of years off here and there to travel around the world on a bike

9. I'm pragmatic and open to learn new technologies or frameworks. While I have my preferences, my skills are portable between stacks

10. I only post on these threads like once a year, so get in touch if you believe I may be a valuable addition to your team. I'm flexible about hours and would consider part-time, full-time or contract work
