Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco SF | Full-stack Developers, DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers, Frontend Engineers, Designers| On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k + equity

We're a small team (18 people!) of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix HealthCare.gov in the winter of 2013. Since then, we've been working with the government to improve the services HealthCare.gov provides. Our revamped Healthcare.gov application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to build, and it’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com

Here's the kind of claim I mean to attack in the polemic:

"The algorithm's understanding of language 'has moved from a 2-year-old infant to something close to an 8 or 10-year-old child,' said Amit Singhal, a Google Fellow, an honorific reserved for the company's top engineers."

Here's what shapes my thinking about medicine, moonshots, and Google: https://www.statnews.com/2016/06/06/google-star-trek-fiction...

About PHP - I am aware that no one would actually try to implement this kind of thing in PHP. I was going for snark. I probably shouldn't have.
Nice. I spent a year in Pamplona when I first started living abroad full time.

It's cool in that it's a nice medieval walled city with all the infrastructure to handle tons of tourists. But those tourists all come at once for San Fermin and the running of the bulls, then they leave. The rest of the year you and the locals get the whole city to yourself, with the little pipe band playing in the square at night and everybody out dancing, then making rounds of the tapas bars and such.

A really nice pace of life. For anybody who likes a walkable city and has the freedom to be anywhere, it's a good place to be.

>Just before Brzezinski was about to call President Carter, the NORAD warning turned out to be a false alarm.

These stories are usually ignorant of what the actual procedures were and how very far any launch scenario was. There would be secondary detection confirmation and everyone was well aware of what a false positive was.

No one was just launching on one set of data, if they did, we wouldn't be here to discuss it.
Thanks! Rusty-machine doesn't really solve the same problems as leaf so there would certainly be some value in both existing.

I agree on the linear algebra front too! I think it's well worth investing time into. Though - there are some other alternatives you may want to check out:

nalgebra: https://github.com/sebcrozet/nalgebra
ndarray: https://github.com/bluss/rust-ndarray (a little light on linear algebra right now)

And there are probably a few others.
One method: My employer has asked me to keep some information confidential, including its employee compensation. I'm sure that you expect your employees to keep a certain level of confidentiality about information as well, including compensation.
London, UK | Geckoboard | Front End Developer

Geckoboard is a successful and growing 30-person B2B SaaS startup based in East London. Our elegant, real-time dashboards solve a difficult but valuable problem for thousands of paying subscribers.

We are looking for a full-time front-end engineer with experience building single page applications. You'll be passionate about working as part of a team, and learning from others through pair programming and peer review. You'll be comfortable liaising with our product designer on design and implementation. You’ll relish the opportunity to continually improve an existing product through refactoring and the removal/addition of features.

More than anything, we value candidates who are excited about picking up new skills and sharing what they’ve learned with the rest of the team - for example, none of us knew Go or React.js a short time ago, but now both are key parts of our stack. We love people with a keen attention to detail and the willingness to apply it in shaping all aspects of our product.

>The complete failure of IT privacy in the US proves that voting with your dollar and voice doesn't work. The very existance of companies like Google, Facebook and thousands of others whose main purpose if data analytics proves that.

I don't think voting with your dollar is a failure, I just think it's currently too niche a hobby to move mountains. From my completely unscientific empiricism, it seems only super hot button issues, regarding religion for example, cause enough Americans to weigh a company's economic policies vs their ideological ones in large enough numbers while also making enough noise about it. Many consumers seem to make one dimensional decisions when choosing a product or service: How much does it cost? This is exacerbated by the amount the public sphere is taking over private decision making, not ameliorated.

For example, citizens concerned with wage disparity aren't buying goods whose executives pay their workers fairly; they're shopping at Walmart. For some reason, economic or ideological issues that stem from the market aren't the market's problem, but become a problem for Washington. Do I think putting the mean and median wage of non-executive employees on the package would help here? Not until we decide these are problems of the market, but honest information disclosure will be important then.

On top of that, a great many consumers are happy with the status quo. "Personal information" is some nebulous magical currency that they can get free stuff for. Just because you or I value this doesn't mean most people do. I've talked with a great many, otherwise intelligent, people that would have it no other way. They can use Facebook for free and to them the value gained far and wide exceeds the costs.

You and I personally think this calculation is short sighted and incorrect, but if you assume the consumer is too stupid to make decisions for themselves regarding their own information then where does that lead us as a society? (not to mention the regulatory overhead)

AudioAddict | Full-time REMOTE or Denver, CO, USA

- Senior Backend Engineer (Ruby / Rails and Go)

This is a permanent position with a thriving music company building the infrastructure that powers DI.FM, RadioTunes.com, JazzRadio.com, RockRadio.com, ClassicalRadio.com, and other expertly curated internet radio properties.

We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who is a well-rounded generalist, understanding everything that happens behind the scenes of a well-performing web application. The ideal candidate will be able to manage their own time (read: working remote isn’t for everyone) and is comfortable taking initiative in a small team.

- Mobile Architect

We currently support native apps for iOS and Android, with other devices of all sizes and shapes still to come. We’re looking for someone with the expertise to plan for and support our current apps, and the foresight to adapt as our needs grow and change while assisting with management of a small team of mobile developers across multiple platforms.

This role is flexible in its nature. The position requires the skills of a strong technical lead and a strong project manager, but the blend of these two skillsets can be discussed and is open for interpretation. Experience with media streaming is a strong plus.

---

We're a midsized (~30 full time employees) organization where almost everyone works remote from wherever they are around the globe. We don't watch the clock or mandate any set schedule outside of occasional (teleconference) meetings - we're just looking for kickass work. We're great about ensuring you're set up with whatever you need to make your home office work, and music isn't just our business, it runs in the blood of the company - we're DJs, audio engineers, performers, and more... all supporting streaming of great music to a fanbase who has been listening to us for more than a decade.

Our interview process is simple: An initial phone screen to get a feel for your background, interests / desires in the future, and salary needs; a 30 minute technical QA with an engineer; a 1 hour programming lab with an engineer; and a final meet-and-greet with various executives from the organization. All interviewing is done remotely.

What Is a Hollow App Install?
Like I said, it's important for those managers to put together a team that doesn't have this attitude about their managers, and instead respects them for their ability to organize and lead the team forward, not nitpick other individuals for their lack of technical expertise. To recognize the difference in skill set is the mark of a great programmer. There are many, many examples in the industry of great non-technical leaders leading technical teams, Steve Jobs being the most famous one.

If someone asks "Can you just..." and you can't do it for some reason, then can you just explain it to them why you can't do it? Getting mad about doesn't solve anything and passes up a great opportunity to fill in their missing information.
Why the switch to exclusive bottled water? It might be worth looking into getting a high quality aluminum water bottle. You could still purchase purified water or water in larger containers. Personally after the sun touches plastic water bottles, I think it tastes funky. Plus, reusable water bottles can be better for the environment.
Oh what a shame, I wonder who'll miss the other most?

Postgres sucks anyways, mongo is much better.
It costs money to get good people to work for you. If you want to see how underpaid workers generates dysfunction just look at most government agencies where "if you're an intelligent hard worker you can walk across the street and double your salary in private industry".

The benefits of gov work such as unfettered job security and good pensions which draw people (although not necessarily talented people) are probably not available with IOC. So without good pay you're left it mostly altruistic reasons (loving sports) or for the 'fun' of it.

IOC needs smart business people like any organization. Running the biggest events in the world smoothly and coordinating a massive organization with thousands of people of different nationalities is hard work.

From that baseline of expectation, the numbers they are putting up (such as $250k for the president) don't seem very high at all.
ahh, ok, thanks
From dotcom hero to zero
It would be interesting to see this repeated, but allowing the melted water to drain. I think that this might be why the wet ice seemed to keep cooling for so long.
If you are not working at the big boys the secret to approaching $255k is ownership and bonuses (either through MBO and/or dividends). So I suppose it is not really raising your base salary. BTW it is probably not $255 anymore but I believe it (the line) is roughly caused by taxes and the average maximum pay for corporations. The average CEO typically only has a salary of or below ~$255K [1] (notice I said salary and not bonuses.). Consequently it is hard to rationalize paying another employee more than the CEO hence the line.

To get in that position of asking for bonuses requires some serious leverage and internal knowledge of the company along with powerful negotiation skills. I somewhat got out of that headache by starting my own company (albeit it is always there directly/indirectly... selling yourself) so I can't give too much advice more than the article does already.

I'm not sure what the wall is after $255k as it may just be an nice exponential curve (and again this is just anecdotal).

Wow, RIP - he was a big inspiration to me professionally both in terms of the tech he helped build and in terms of the learning theory of which he was a proponent. (I also work at the intersection of education, learning sciences, and technology).

[0] is a great video from the early days of LOGO, and he's pushing notions of programming for all that felt new and revolutionary in the 2000s.

Mindstorms [1] is a great book if you're interested in his ideas about learning.

>True, voting for an alternative candidate will take a percentage of the votes away from Clinton or Trump

No it won't. The only wasted vote is voting for someone you don't believe in. Google Gary Johnson.

> President elected by only 15-17% of eligible voters would send a pretty good message

This would be largely ignored and not covered my mainstream media. It would go completely un-noticed by the vast majority.
