Thank you very much for your feedback and ideas! I truly appreciate it!

Great point about having multiple people answer the question! Others also brought up that point, so it is certainly something to look out for.

The chat app idea makes a lot of sense. Why would "there weren't too many problems actually getting paid" be important for you?
> The introduction sounds much more ambitious than your comment

It aims to be more flexible, but it doesn't specifically aim to replace them. I don't mind players using M3U, PLS, or whatever else, I just want the extra features that UPL would provide. I guess it's a fine distinction.

> I am really curious about moving from Google Play to a local library, though - can you say more about that?

Well, if Google Play allowed me to export my playlists as UPL, my local foobar2000 could easily find the tracks in my local library (I already have them all) and correlate which tracks on Google Play are which tracks locally. As it stands, I have to go into my Google Play playlist, find the thousands of songs in my playlists one by one locally, and add them to my local playlists as I find them.
If you haven't already, give the article linked below a read. The section that I highlighted seems to fit pretty squarely with your point.

"As Douglas Rushkoff says, we need a new operating system for startups. The current one will keep producing the same extractive and monopolistic empires we’ve gotten so far. No, what we need is a new crop of companies that are institutionally comfortable with leaving money on the table. Leaving growth on the table. Leaving some conveniences and some progress on the board, in order to lead the world into a better direction."

Linux Process Management Simplified
Can we take a moment to reflect on how awesome and revolutionary (in changing world, not its tech) the Linux Kernel (and *nix ecosystem around it).

I remember when the TOP500 was being taken over by Beowulf Clusters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf_cluster Linux made that happen. At the time (and today) it ran on small embedded systems, to some of the world's fastest supercomputers and practically everything in between. Incredible compared to the alternative contemporary OSs.

We have quite a bit of autonomy throughout our day, lots of input into the direction of the products we build, and get to innovate daily.

Our stack is ASP.net MVC, C#, AngularJS, Elastic, Redis, and SQL Server. Honestly we don't care what technology stack you are familiar with, we just expect you to have mastered your own and be willing to learn.

1. An engineer reviews your resume.
2. An engineer gives you a call to chat.
3. A couple of engineers talk with you face to face. No bubble sort whiteboard coding bull, just a conversation.
4. A take-home 4-8 hour real-world coding problem. Build something that does these things. It’s not a stupid brain teaser or something requiring special knowledge.

It's probably less true than it used to be but, for years, a lot of people in Boston were really paranoid about big snow storms. Everyone knew someone or at least knew someone who knew someone who had be evacuated from Route 128 or slept in their office for a week.

About a decade later a friend of mine moved to Boston and she once told me that she had never seen a northern city where people took off home from work at the first snowflake the way they did in the Boston area.

I do windsurfing, and wind prediction is absolutely horrible, especially in the areas with complex terrain. I understand why it's hard, it's a 3-dimensional problem, and pretty much all weather stations are sitting on the surface, and the wind ones are quite sparse.

We need 10x-100x more stations/sensors for the data to be good. I've been thinking of ways to create a cheap solution for a simple weather station that would ping the data once a minute to the central server over something like GSM, but I'm more of a software guy. Determining wind strength/direction is not that hard, but making it all weather proof is.
I was being general. Uber has been a deliberate asshole more than once.

MotionMD | Web Developers (Ruby/Rails) | San Diego, CA | Remote (US only), Contract

MotionMD is a clinical workflow application for Orthopedic practices. We help automate the paperwork for healthcare billing and prescription and inventory management so that Doctors and their staff can spend more time delivering great care to the patient. MotionMD is a budding software organization inside of DJO Global, a 40 year old Orthopedic bracing and surgical company. We are not a startup! :-)

The development team works remote all across the US with team members in every US time zone. The app is built using Ruby (2.3) and Rails (4.2, soon 5.0!) with primarily Backbone and Bootstrap on the front end. Our Rails app is going on 9 years old and is very well maintained and continuously undergoing new feature development. We’re looking for people who value writing and reading maintainable code and enjoy working on software that makes an impact. At this time we’re looking for people with experience in the Intermediate to Senior range.

Here's what our hiring process looks like so you know what to expect from us:

1. An initial phone screen to learn more about you learn more about us

2. Pair programming session for 1-2 hours where we will work on an actual bug in MotionMD

3. Group video chat with the MotionMD development team

We’re looking for help in the following areas:

- DevOps & Automation: our app runs on AWS and we’re looking to continue building more tools and automation to help us do our jobs better. We use Terraform, Ansible, and Packer for automation.

- Front-End: Our app is a mishmash of CoffeeScript, Backbone, Bootstrap, and Jasmine tests. We would love for someone to lead the way on unifying our JS/CSS approaches and set us up for new horizons such as TypeScript, Vue, or Elm

- Back-End/Feature Development: There’s a lot of room for innovation in healthcare and we always need help implementing new functionality for our users.

Nintendo has a history of doing quirky things, in an effort to differentiate themselves. They've always been innovative.

- Directional Pad (NES)

- Shoulder buttons on controller (SNES)

- third handle on a controller and controllers with expansion slots (N64)

- portable gaming systems (starting with gameboy, which didn't even have a backlit screen)

- subsequent iterations that included: folding designs (SP), Touch screens for interactivity (DS), game sharing (DS), 3D (3DS, designed before 3D was "a thing")

- RFID out-of-game experiences (Amiibos)

- Innovative nunchuck design where moving the controller is an axis of control (Wii)

- A second-screen experience (Wii U)

- ... and these are just the recent/well known innovations. I'm sure I'm missing many (link cable, anyone?)

So, basically, Nintendo has always tried to push the envelope with their consoles. Nintendo isn't interested in making a boring "not-a-pc-i-swear" console.

Nintendo hasn't lost sight of what made them great. In fact, I'd argue that they're still very much on that path. The day we see uninteresting hardware is the day Nintendo has strayed from what made them great.
> My whole point was that you can still have a professional quality (as in eSports level) experience with equipment that's not super-ultra-top-of-the-line-fantastic, saving you the super-ultra-top-of-the-line-fantastic premiums.

I'm not sure I understand. In this area (as opposed to functional clothing etc) it's very easy to measure real differences between a GTX 1070 and a 1080, and seeing pixels on more than 1080p when the screen is 27" and up.

That you can get a rags-to-riches story in eSports learning to play on a 5 year old computer is very true, but it doesn't detract from the fact that it's easier with better hardware.

If you don't feel it's worth it it's not worth it for you, but the difference is very real.
I'd also really appreciate any notes anyone has on making this post more appealing, as it doesn't seem to generate much interest.

I'm an experienced linux system administrator currently employed for a U.S. company. In my spare time I run a public E-mail provider with 132,000 users, and a VPS provider with >$1K MRR. I'm interested in positions in the security or sysadmin space, with bonus points for companies providing services that respect users' privacy, or provide a tangibly beneficial product or service as part of their business model. I'm also open to development work but only as an aside. Sysadmin first, programmer second. A sense of humor is required as my side projects aren't exactly politically correct, though I keep work and my personal ventures completely separate.

Due to my work providing privacy-oriented services, I recently had $2,000 worth of electronics seized at the U.S. border because I refused to decrypt my electronic devices. Because of this, relocating to the U.S. is not an option.

Marketing Technology ≠ Marketing Strategy
It's hard to make photorealistic Mario or Zelda. Their consoles are primary for their own games which have very cartoony look.
Urho is so much much more than Ogre3D and it's definitely not a clone of Ogre3D. It's full game engine with a lot of features - audio, physics, navigation, ... while Ogre is basically just rendering library. And Urho's rendering is not closer to Ogre than any other rendering solution out there. The only thing they seem to have in common is that people are slowly losing interest in them, which is unfortunate.
That second addition is not nearly as valuable for creating code as it is debugging it. When you see an error and can pretty much pinpoint where the problem is, just because that's the only place where that error makes sense... That's a lot of time you just cut out of the entire process.

I am best known for developing whipOS, the personal, powerful and playful operating system for whips. I also know a thing or two about creating websites, mobile apps and desktop apps. On top of that, I have developed whipCloud, the cloud service for keeping your whips in sync, which has taught me valuable things about setting up server environments.
