Silicon Valley Bank | API Banking Engineer | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE(US) INTERNS http://docs.svbplatform.com

Enable the world of FinTech by building public APIs for commercial banking. We're using clojure & postgres to expose brand new, easy to use, well documented RESTful interfaces for clients. Among other projects we work on, our small team created the technical integration with Stripe that powers Atlas (https://stripe.com/atlas). Our team consists of former Facebook, Disqus, and Standard Treasury (YC S13) engineers; startups are in our DNA.

With an aggressive roadmap of new products we'd like to launch in 2017, we're looking to expand our team to help deliver new APIs. While we don't currently have any full time remote employees on our team, we are open to remote US-based engineers helping us become a fully-distributed team.
We're also accepting intern applications for summer 2017.

Does Google+ even drive direct revenue for Google?

StuDocu | Javascript Developer | Amsterdam | VISA https://www.studocu.com

StuDocu (known as StudeerSnel.nl in The Netherlands) is an online platform where students can share study-related content and get in touch with fellow students. Currently we have well over 1.250.000 users and 3 million monthly pageviews, growing at a rate of about 10% a month. We’ve quickly grown in The Netherlands over the past few years and the time has come to spread our wings and take the rest of the world by storm. We aim to play a big part in the liberalization of the worldwide education system. With rising tuition fees and income inequality, we feel there is a need for an online education platform where students all over the world share their knowledge for free.

We are looking for a talented addition to our team who is a wizard with JavaScript and has ample experience with modern JS frameworks. You will be working with our designers and back end developers to create responsive pages which provide our users with the best possible experience. Your hunger for technology is only matched by your motivation to solve difficult problems fast, efficient and with a keen eye for design.
Our team is still small which will put you right at the core of our developer team. Joining us now gives you the opportunity to be one of our team leaders in the future.

In our Amsterdam office you will find the informal atmosphere you would expect from a start-up company. We’re based in a nice and bright office in the heart of Amsterdam with a large garden, right besides the canals. Every day we all have lunch together and once a week we’ll crack open a few beers, bring out our table- tennis and football! And let's not forget about the occasional pubquizzes, board game nights and bbq cook-offs!

> ...those things are blamed indeed, but for society's problems, not their own.

That's a good point in some cases. But in many cases that doesn't hold. Meryl Streep outgrouped popular, middle American, and "lowbrow" culture(s) when ranting about how they impact on her job. Gay marriage and abortion views are certainly personal complaints as well as social ones. Distaste for spiritual people typically stems from a personal grudge more than a dry academic philosophy about the social impact of disagreements about metaphysical reality or something. How about bikes versus cars disputes in urban areas? Or disagreements about Bay Area rent?

I can come up with more examples. I think there's a "I'm just being the rational one here" type of cognitive dissonance from basically all perspectives. Even that attitude holds the seeds for outgrouping (those irrational people!).

Yup, same at Twitch.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I suspect that the whole incident was made up out of whole cloth, right down to coaching the driver on the right tenor to set his arguments in.

The reason being to make a statement about the sexual harassment issue, without actually talking about the sexual harassment issue.
Thank you very much for your feedback and ideas, I truly appreciate it!

You raise a lot of good points. One of my main concerns is the pricing model: 5-10€ would be quiet appropriate for small questions that take a few minutes to answer, but is too low for more complex questions that require research. On top of that, it also matters where the person answering the questions comes from since rates vary from country to country. I do not want this to become a place like, for example, Upwork where things tend to be a race to the bottom and you have people answering complex questions for 50 cents. What did you mean with "there's your pricing model"?
By "webp", you mean VP9?

But yes, it's generally Google forcing their own products, just like what they're doing with YouTube, where you also get VP9 on Chrome and H.264 on Firefox.

So is our WebRTC web conferencing platform. I just tested a firefox-to-chrome video call, and it works fine. Hangouts, however, wants me to install a plugin on firefox. WTF!?!

There's no reason why hangouts can't work on Firefox. In my experience, firefox actually works better than Chrome, due to it having implemented the applyConstraints API.

This is just laziness or evil on Google's part.
A functional, used washer can be had for $100 in most places, which shouldn't be a huge barrier to most people (especially people who can afford a videogame console). Small apartments don't have washers because they simply don't have the room.
Personally I'm intrigued by Kotlin Native as a replacement for Python and Go tools without requiring the JVM.

I find it's a fundamentally better language than both and so being able to write CLI tools and other smaller stuff in it would be nice while still being able to leverage Kotlin + JVM on the backend would also be nice.
The door handles on the rear doors of my Chevy Sonic are mostly hidden. I have to show people where they are. They usually conclude that there is no handle before I get around to telling them where they are.

I think there's a bit of a darker side as well. The Wii was so unbelievably successful, and profitable that it seems to have created a kind of corporate-level of addiction, and subsequent profit-seeking behavior. The Wii was underpowered, quirky, but just happened to hit all of the notes that a ton of people who hadn't played games before (and would later move on to playing on phones and tablets) were looking for.

Most of all, they made a profit per unit sale of the Wii, when the standard at the time was (is?) to sell consoles at a loss and make it up on fees and sales of games. They made profit on the base Wii, then they profited from all of the other shit they made up to sell for it. When the time came to move on from that gold mine to something new, they predictably tried to strike gold a second time.

They didn't.

Now they're trying a third time, and I suspect it will end badly for them. They've increasingly lost sight of what made them great, blinded by the allure of unbelievably quick and vast quantities of hard cash.
I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't refer to that as a performance issue without any context.

>That POST is actually meant for updates and PUT is meant for new entities

No.. So any creation or update can be a POST. If your operation is idempotent, then you can make it a PUT. If you take the subset of POSTS that are idempotent in your application, this is what could be made a PUT.

So a set operation foobar=50, would could be a POST, but since its idempotent, it could also be a PUT.

A increment operations foobar++, would have to be a POST, but could not be a PUT since it is not idempotent.
Agreed, as I said - depends on what you write. It's a shame that so much of the industry actually devalues the very thing that got us into this in the first place (presumably not just money, but some love of engineering quality software), degrading the job to be nothing more than "hacking" together something, just to deliver.

It's not just delivering that is important (it is off course), but what is delivered, and if a company's non-techs don't realize and appreciate this, it's a slippery road.
Cobalt Robotics Introduces a (Mostly) Autonomous Mobile Security Robot
I'm curious about how is a user of Singer supposed to perform transformations on data (e.g. aggregate records)?

Should they code something, to be plugged between taps and targets?

Do you intend to include such transforms in your solution?
Lack of a virtual console I can understand, but are you really being dissuaded from purchasing a Switch based on its lack of web browser and Netflix -- two things that run on half a dozen or more devices that the typical HN reader probably already owns?
The problem is that it appears to be handheld-power in console, not the other way around. That being the case, the trend seen with third-party titles and the WiiU is going to be more pronounced right out of the gate with the Switch.
In my eyes going native is nice for the distribution of command line apps (if they are static binaries), but also for avoiding the startup time of the jvm.

>[...] but it seems like Go and Rust have already satisfied the desire for modern natively compiled languages

Not for me. Go's type system is too primitive, and Rust is maybe too low level if you don't need the advantages compared to languages with a GC. So a language like Kotlin with a better type system (than go) fits nicely in between the two (that might change if Rust get's a GC type). Especially since it will probably have (or has already?) better tooling considering that Jetbreains is behind it.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team. Real estate is a complex and highly regulated domain, and our community-based model adds more complexity to the mix. Automating this complexity through software is the Digital Product Team's core focus right now, and it's a real challenge.
