Hi! My name is Philip, and I am a software engineer with more than 10 years of experience developing consumer applications at scale. I have developed iOS applications and websites that service millions of users daily. I’d love to chat about how I can help you!
Canary (https://canary.is) | New York, NY | Data Platform Engineer | Full-time | ONSITE

We're the innovative home security company that grew out of a crowdfunding campaign[0] and brought to market our easy-to-use and user-friendly video monitoring solution. Canary combines the latest advances in computer vision, learning, and data science to help our users live more secure lives.

I lead the data engineering team at Canary, and am looking to grow this team in pursuit of making our home security devices faster and smarter. Canary's security camera is unique in that it comes with multiple onboard sensors - temperature, air quality, and humidity - that produce a continuous second data stream in addition to the visuals captured by each device.

Our team builds the data pipelines and underlying infrastructure that brings in and securely houses this data. As you can imagine, security is a first-class concern in everything we do. This creates many fascinating technical challenges, from crypto to network security to hardening of applications.
We're all passionate about doing right by our users, and this passion shows in our designs, code, and planning.

Please have a look at the job posting[1] if you're interested in learning more about the team and what we do. I'm also happy to answer any questions - e-mail is in my profile.

Credit Karma | San Francisco | Full Time, Onsite

Credit Karma's mission is to make financial progress possible for everyone. We have over 60 million US members and are a true mission-oriented business, a rare case where our incentives are aligned with our users - we succeed by helping our members attain financial progress.

We've been growing rapidly over the past few years (hypergrowth) and are hiring across a wide range of positions. On the backend side, we are moving to Scala-based microservices using finagle and Thrift, and as well as GraphQL on node.js. Our native iOS and Android apps are #1 in finance (with a 5 star rating on the App Store) and we're rebuilding our website in React + Redux. Our data science team uses Kafka, Spark and BigQuery among other technologies.

If you're motivated by growth and impact Credit Karma is probably the best place to work in tech today. We have solved product / market fit and distribution, but compared to our peer unicorns there is still so much work to do. If you look at the gap between our product today and what we are well-positioned to become - the main touchpoint for consumer finance - there is tons of opportunity for people joining now to take on responsibility and ownership and have a meaningful impact.

In addition Hungarian notation requires refactoring entire code bases whenever the type of something would change instead of the declaration point. Or become out of date as the type change but the variable name wouldn't. It also hinders legibility in my view but that's a personal opinion.
Yeah, the clear and simple tax arrangement they seek is "Apple pays as close to zero in taxes as absolutely possible".

If it means lawsuits, yes. Companies will either seek out a non-GPL solution, or they will be even more secretive about their use of linux. Either way, linux loses and 95% of linux users lose....and the violations will continue anyway.
Scale is not at all a problem here, but i am not sure how they plan to pull this off considering so many privacy violations.

Pure nicotine can be used as an insecticide and generally doesn't have the adverse-to-humans effects of smoking, so that's not really good evidence of tobacco being nasty.

There are other things you can mix with water and use an insecticide, too. Caffeine, for one. There are other reasons that we don't use it, but mostly practical ones (it washes away easily, it also kills things in the soil).
> Of course SpaceX is so much cheaper than their competition that it may not matter, and reuse is about to make them cheaper still.

They’re 2 million USD more expensive per launch for a mid-size satellite than the Ariane 5 is, so I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
In his statement of resignation he says that given recent events the Tor Project no longer meets his ethical standards, and that he will be ceasing all support, including financial and technical.

Full statement:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19690

"Dear friends,

Given recent events, it is no longer appropriate for me to materially contribute to the Tor Project either financially, as I have so generously throughout the years, nor by providing computing resources. This decision does not come lightly; I probably ran one of the first five nodes in the system and my involvement with Tor predates it being called "Tor" by many years.

Nonetheless, I feel that I have no reasonable choice left within the bounds of ethics, but to announce the discontinuation of all Tor-related services hosted on every system under my control.

Most notably, this includes the Tor node "Tonga", the "Bridge Authority", which I recognize is rather pivotal to the network

Tonga will be permanently shut down and all associated crytographic keys destroyed on 2016-08-31. This should give the Tor developers ample time to stand up a substitute. I will terminate the chron job we set up so many years ago at that time that copies over the descriptors.

In addition to Tonga, I will shut down a number of fast Tor relays, but the directory authorities should detect that shutdown quickly and no separate notice is needed here.

I wish the Tor Project nothing but the best moving forward through those difficult times,

--Lucky"

Tesla is a battery company that just so happens to also make a couple of cars. When you look at it that way, it makes a lot more sense.

Why Facebook is blue
Why is it necessary to feel sad and to even consider all of that? That is my point. What bothers you bothers you and what doesn't is fine, less to think about. You can't go around being bothered by everything 'bad' that happens in the world to someone else. I don't think that is healthy in any way. By "bothered" I don't mean indicating in words that something is sad. I mean actual concern as if it impacts you or someone you know personally.

Sorry but I can't relate to this type of tragedy at all. I can relate to someone getting hacked and losing their business or customer information though. That pain I can imagine. And to hear someone say to me "that's sad" about the latter when knowing they don't have any idea what it is really like to me is just lip service and almost patronizing.

JumpCloud | Sr. Software Engineer, Sr. DevOps Engineer | Boulder, Colorado (Greater Denver Area)

ONSITE, REMOTE possible for candidates with a good fit

At JumpCloud, we have a plan. See, there’s this company that is ripe for displacement. They put out software that everyone uses but nobody loves. We think we can do it better. Much better. We can make it easy-to-use, more powerful, and massively scalable / highly available by putting it in the cloud. Just like Gmail supplanted Exchange, we want to disrupt (yes, we said it) the Directory server market.

Who are we? We’re the scrappy underdog with the backing of serious VCs and the experience of a crack team of founders and engineers with decades of identity and Security experience.

Who are we looking for? Comrades in arms to fight the entrenched opposition. People who want to seriously change Identity and Directory Management. We’re funded, we’re in downtown Boulder, and we’re making a big difference. Get in here and be a part of it!

Stack: Postgres/Mongo/Redis, NodeJS/Golang, Docker/Saltstack

On that note, Blockbuster rejecting Netflix seems fairly relevant.
Actually, it sounds worse than network news, which has no problem monetizing controversial content, such as crime, war, civil unrest, etc.
The concept of it being amoral to plagiarize a resume is laughable. He's not creating some original piece of writing or trying to demonstrating his writing abilities. He's not submitting some piece of writing as part of his job responsibilities or for any sort of publication.

He's conveying facts on a piece of paper that is handed to, at most, a few dozen people, who glance it at for about 20 seconds and then never see it again. He's not even implicitly claiming that everything on his resume is 100% unique, because more than half of resumes use the same structuring, wording, and general descriptive approaches. I thought this was common sense until your comment.

Calling this plagiarism is like saying the sentence "By using our Services, you are agreeing to these terms" in a terms of service is plagiarizing whoever wound up writing that first. It's ridiculous.
Does anyone know of published data indicating the rate of support for advanced(ish) WebGL like this among everyday consumers?

What the mayor actually said about Palo Alto:

- "It's become a monoculture," Burt says.
- the city's role as a tech incubator is in danger.
- Large employers like Palantir Technologies, the secretive private software firm, and Amazon, have taken over

He wants to force tech companies to move out when they get too big. It's hard for startups to get office space when large corporations can easily out-bid them.
It shouldn't be.

I'm skeptical of your parsing argument because the normal way to construct type theory terms is inductively in their "native" tree form, which is cheap. Looking at them as a formal language isn't so convenient.

As a PLer, I hope dependently typed langauges see wide use not because they are the one true foundation of everything, but because they are the richest lingua franca for every academic discipline to represent their ideas—I'm personally enamored of such theories as a foundation for math, but I don't know much about the theory of computation and I'm fine if others just see it as a tool.

Anyways once that happens and fields have distilled their intentions into precise models in the lingua franca, perhaps the walls between fields can be broken down and we finally grok each other's concepts.

Go on - what's stopping you?

The fact that I understand context and false equivalencies, which you apparently don't.
That's ok, it's not important to my point; it's just weak but confirmatory evidence of my prediction.

Still, after 80 years, how are you splitting responsibility for that between our laws and culture and the substance itself? Smoking cigarettes furtively is much more difficult than smoking weed furtively[0], due to the exact same two factors I pointed out previously.

If the same evidence that predicts you'll see less disease predicts you'll see fewer of the users, does not seeing as many users really count against the prediction of less disease? At the very least it seems like you'd have to assign some priors in order to know which way that evidence points.

Going to court and losing, while not fun, should be instructive to the GPL community. A loss will either point out areas that need to be changed in the next GPL license version, or that a GPL-style license is not viable.
As the father of a three-year old, I saw this coming as soon as he picked up the single figurine. Still didn't stop me from dying laughing at the outcome.
That becomes pretty circular and more political/philosophical than this conversation needs to be. From a business perspective, online porn is high fraud which makes CC's a difficult thing to underwrite and MJ banking in general is risky because banks need to stay under the government's good graces.

SUSE | Nuremberg (DE), Prague (CZ) or REMOTE | Full Time

Linux graphics developer

In the SUSE Labs department, we are looking for an expert on the Linux graphics stack. We are looking for somebody who has experience with the DRM subsystem in the Linux kernel, the internals of the X server or the userspace libraries. Ideally, the candidate should have some knowledge of all of the above and should be able to debug issues in code that he or she has no prior knowledge of. It is also a big plus if the candidate has experience with working with the X.Org or kernel upstream projects.

The job location is ideally Nuremberg, Germany or Prague, Czech Republic, but remote work is also an option.

What we offer

You will take part in development of the core parts of our enterprise and community distributions and you will be encouraged to submit your work upstream. We will sponsor travel to relevant conferences where you can present your work. Working time is flexible and we offer a bunch of the usual benefits (these differ in different countries, though).

How to apply

Preferably, submit all relevant information in a single PDF file, so that no important detail is lost in transit. Give us some time to process your application. Expect the interview to be done over phone, unless you already live in Nuremberg or Prague (let us know in such case). Form submission for this position at https://jobs.suse.com/job/nuremberg/linux-graphics-developer...

This is not the only job opening currently available at SUSE, see https://jobs.suse.com/
On a similar note, what happened to the directory authority that rapist-Appelbaum ran for Tor? I guess it has been scrapped also?
So you would rather pay $600 million per launch with 95% chance of success vs $200 million per launch with 93% chance of success?

There is no such thing a 100% chance of success, everyone has a chance of failure. I would not put ESA more than a few % more reliable. Math says your satellite would need to be really expensive for the price difference to be worth it.
I'd argue that the problem is not that you raised the prices but the user increments are set way too low ... to appeal to teams I'd have the cheapest plan be at least $99/year maybe the full $149 but also give them 5 users by default - then allow a monthly option which effectively forces people to pay a 10-15% ish premium over the yearly option.

Then make a plan for say up to 15 or 25 users that is substantially more expensive and finally the unlimited user plan could be even higher.

Because you're able to do so much inside of one application I could easily see companies paying $1k+ for parts of this on a yearly basis especially when they had 20+ users of something like the task management tool.

Personally I'd also suggest modularizing your different pieces (so you can just buy the project management or just buy the invoicing etc.) As teams get larger they may want to do more or do less inside of one application, you dont want to have people feel like they're paying for things they don't need if they arent using them.

Just my $.02 I know all this takes a lot of work, but the product looks great, I hope you can figure it all out!

Best of Luck!
