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.

My girlfriend spent a couple of years in a lab that studies blood factors in aging -- parabiosis was an important aspect of their methodology.

A couple of notes:

1) Parabiosis does not refer to infusions of young blood. Parabiosis specifically refers to the surgical joining of two organisms. This technique is employed in young blood experimentation because the amount of blood that must be exchanged to achieve substantial results would be impractical via transfusion.

2) Young blood research, having established that blood factors in aging do, in fact, exist, currently focuses largely upon isolating and reproducing those factors. While the desperate may pursue actual young blood transfusions -- which, recall, are incapable of providing enough blood to achieve a material result, and are fraught with other risks -- the product that is eventually brought to market will, presumably, be synthesized in a chemical plant.
I used Kagi as a customer (never a vendor) many times in the late 90s and early 2000s and have a lot of appreciation for what they brought to the Mac shareware scene. But I would consider it a failure to shut down an established business with what seems to be absolutely no notice (see other comments here and on Twitter).
Can you please elaborate more on your tech stack?

Agreed. I'm surprised they didn't put a darker background behind the text. Otherwise it was an interesting piece.

>Why do companies wait till the dying moments before informing employees?

Because if you tell employees how close to the edge you are they often run out the door, moving your odds of failure from 50% or 70% or whatever up to ~99%.

Personally, I'm a stickler for integrity and scrupulous honesty so I have never hid facts from employees even when it was dark (and for a couple of years, it was often really, really dark). But I can see why people do it: when you're in the middle of trying to close a save-the-company funding round, with 2 minutes left on the clock, losing half your team doesn't exactly help. And that did in fact happen to us several years ago: I lost almost the entire engineering team early in our company's life because they freaked out and bailed when they realized how little cash was left -- and this, in turn, torpedoed a number of funding efforts that were underway, almost sinking the business.

Again: don't take this as an endorsement of hiding the truth. But many, many good companies have been days from bankruptcy multiple times, and if everyone had known it at the time, people would have bailed out and the company would have failed. So that's why management often wants to conceal bad news from the rank and file.
You did a great job and I am sorry that the discussion is mostly about the example. I saw the Scheme version and found it quite verbose, like some other people on this thread. That's what made me want to implement a CL one. Maybe if you had a less controversial example where you produce e.g. Markdown text, it would not distract people from the tool.
It's all about 关系 in China.
You send me some html, css and Javascript from YOUR domain to MY computer. I reserve the right to do what I want with it.

YOU have NO right to determine what I do with it after you send it to me. It is pointless to think that rules regarding that can be enforced anyways. To me that is the reality of the situation, its like we are debating if gravity should pull us down or not.

Edit: for civility (with lack of sleep as the excuse).

I believe that in Bangkok the Thai language schools currently require 8 hours of study a week to qualify for a student visa, which is more than it used to be but is still incredibly lenient. In the provinces I hear the requirements are even lower. Anyone who intends to stay here for more than a year without learning at least basic Thai is shooting themselves in the foot anyway IMHO.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not. I liked it!

It dumbs things down for sure and the graphics are very cartoony. The message hits spot on. I see this in the Bay area and in other places with well-paying jobs. The PE firms jumped to scoop up real-estate after the 2008 crisis. In the cases I saw, they upgraded 1500-2000 a month apartments to 3200-3600 a month fancy apartments (this is an example from Mountain View btw). The economist inside me says PE firms helped stabilize the economy and are bringing efficiency but the lil voice inside me says they are the scum of the earth and the reason I'll NEVER be able to afford a house and always be hand-to-mouth. As a rah-rah believer in capitalism, PE firms have changed my view and made me realize of the dangers of uncontrolled pursuit of wealth and profit.

No, I don't think "Simon" meant to cash in at all. As the parent post said: probably mental issues. These nutjobs aren't looking to get to rich, as much as pretending/be perceived to be rich.

That wouldn't be seen as the fault of the device. Software bugs will still show up when the product is used as directed. Ideally, though, the device wouldn't be able to be used without the physical stop.
"Just because you can doesn't mean you should" is what comes to mind for me when reading this. It also reminds me of how often, in the past two years, I've had to push younger founders to adapt a more pessimistic (I call it realistic) view of the business world than they naturally have. A deal is on the table - start by asking how it could fall apart, where the holes are, what's wrong with it. If you're owning/operating a business, you should have a nice healthy dollop of distrust in almost all your doings. That could solve so many of these "problems" that are simply born of naivete.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that a lot of these deals come from constrained government budgets rather than corruption. The conservative movement has been very effective at keeping taxes and government revenue low since the 1980s.
Gawker Founder in Bankruptcy After Losing Hulk Hogan Case
My Chinese friend in Beijing once read an article about why Didi was winning. She told me that the article missed one of the most important things in her opinion. With Didi, she can get a fapiao receipt, which she can then give to her company to claim expenses. She can't get a fapiao receipt with Uber. That's why she never takes Uber. I don't know how big of an effect this actually has, it's just an interesting anecdote.
This is really cool and well done.

The Gewehr 98 animation seems to have a much shorter trigger pull than my 98k - I'm not sure if somebody set it up that way on purpose when they sporterized it - kind of a shame, since it has all matching serial numbers and is stamped Obendorf 1918...

I'm opposed to Trump, possibly to an unreasonable degree, but I agree he's not going to turn into a dictator. He can still screw things up royally, and destroy what little civility in the political discourse there is in this country by pandering to the alt-right, conspiracy theorist, nihilist fringe and legitimizing them, but a President Trump would probably face more scrutiny and intransigence than even Obama has. Both parties would be trying their hardest to discredit him for a second term, and discredit his attempts at a legacy.

Of course people said the same thing about Obama... I'm still waiting for that inevitable socialist coup he's supposed to pull off. Unfortunately, both the Democrats and Republicans have made an art out of convincing people that the Presidency is the only part of the government they should be engaged with.

Something I found helpful are: having enough sleep, familiar music to drown out distraction to put me in the zone.
Let's just ban anything that can hurt anyone. Legislation will solve everything.

I'm not "pro-gun", I'm pro-freedom, or pro-rights. Rights and freedoms come with sacrifices. Giving up your rights for a false sense of security is naive.

Setting aside the infringement of rights topic for a moment, focusing on the tool of destruction is never going to work. There is a much deeper, and more complex problem at work here. We need to identify and understand it. Simplified talking points for political purposes make me sick. As a nation we are smarter than this, so why does it perpetuate?

Statistics don't matter, for either side, "gun-control" isn't going to solve the problem. It isn't even part of the solution.

Think about how ridiculous it sounds to ban all cars and pressure cookers...

"Shall not be infringed..." can not be taken lightly.

"Smart and gets things done".
Brave has the incentive to want to make their browser the best way to see websites, as such its in their interest to make sure that doesn't happen.

In any case its easy to turn off. In my experience any user who can't do that is the type that doesn't care either way.
Here's the framework that I've found useful for thinking about this in my own life. There's three ways to spend your time: work, rest, and leisure.

Work is all the things you need to do to live your life. This includes your job, errands, housework, etc. Things that you can't give up because they're a necessary part of your life.

Rest is all the things you need to do to be able to do your work. Sleep, food, exercise, and yes, TV & video games for relaxing can fit in here too.

Leisure is everything else - what you do with the time you've got left after working and resting.

The real question for you is: are you playing video games to rest, or for leisure? If they're restful for you, then I don't see the problem. You've got a busy job, a thesis, and n SO that you're all keeping up with. Everyone needs some downtime, so if you're feeling rested and relaxed afterwards, then great. Keep them as a part of your downtime routine. The one thing you may want to think about here is if video games are the best way to rest for <i>you</i>. If you're playing shooters and getting frustrated and angry, that's probably not as effective at relaxing as, say, building a castle with redstone circuitry in Minecraft. Or even cooking a tasty meal or going for a walk.

If you're filling your leisure time with them, then I'd think about it a little harder. Is there anything else you'd prefer to be doing with that leisure time? Leisure time is what you get to use to change yourself - to learn things, to exercise, to make yourself into who you want. So spend it wisely.

And seriously, cut out the commute. I suspect part of the problem may be that you really need all that rest time with video games but resent that you need it. Work from home, change your work hours so you're not commuting during rush hour, find a different job, whatever.

Looking for Pentesters, hunting for bugs.

We are looking for experienced web application security consultants. Professional developers and systems administrators with no specific security experience will be considered provided sufficient aptitude and interest is displayed.

While we are currently looking for web testers, we offer a wide range of assessments that you will be able to rotate in on or work with someone experienced to learn new things. One of my personal favorite things is being able to learn from the guys that focus on mobile and internal pens, you can grow your skillset and career here!

Interview Process: We just want to talk shop!

The 10 IoT Technologies Every Business Needs to Know
Looks like those who don't approve the deal and those who do both voted with their money.
Interesting way to present information. Very poor framing and discussion of the issue that lacks data or statistics of any sort, even top-line numbers to provide any context for how large the PE industry really is.

Utmost importance even for a casual reader to get a sense of the relative size of the industry under discussion and how well PE-managed firms perform on average, not just a few cherry-picked examples that cast the PE industry in a slightly negative light, kind of dancing around the issue without making any argument head on.

50 largest PE firms manage $1.5t in assets. Total global equity market is $48.6t (from Dimensional's 2015 Matrix Book). Total market value of world's financial assets is probably >$200t (including land, commodities, currency, etc.).

Here is some data for those who are interested:
