Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python and Erlang, and relies heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

* Database Expert

* Frontend Software Engineer, London & LA

* Quantitative Analyst

* Software Engineer, London & LA

If you like the idea of flat structure and practical engineering approach, see our jobs at https://smarkets.com/careers/ . (Quite some time ago I wrote an overview about our engineering challenges, which you can find at https://smarketshq.com/notes-on-interviewing-engineers-a4fa4... .)

Are you saying that sugar is good for you depending on the source? Sugar is terrible for you no matter what. If you have a juice with the juice of say 5 apples is not healthy. That is 5 servings of the sugar with almost 0 of the fiber. It is just as poisonous as a sugary soda or other sugary drink.
Or any time I've only had a 50 peso bill and a 200 peso bill, the ride will cost 100 pesos, and the taxi driver somehow doesn't have change.

Or any time I've tried to hail a taxi among a bunch of other people (after an event or at 2am at the city center when all the bars close) and I'm stuck hoping I'm the lucky chosen one the next time a taxi comes, losing out each time to a group of people.

Or any time a taxi driver took advantage of the fact that they knew my options were limited late at night.

Uber solved major points of frustration with taxi services.
Not one time, its a yearly overcharge. So $4 per month for life for an admin account with an email address @example.com that does nothing (or $19 for EEP)

Sure, if you want to use plain TeX, and not LaTeX. To get a really thorough grounding, you can read Donald Knuth's TexBook. I'm sure there are also briefer guides online.
It's totally provable though. Whether or not it will be proved is another matter. Other witnesses were presumably around so they might chime in. Certainly Google can step in and tell their side. The thing about these sorts of situations is corporations are very hesitant to come out and blatantly lie because it can come back to bite them in a huge way later on. So if Google comes out and refutes these claims, that will suggest they are PROBABLY not true, or at least very different than what we are being told. Not a perfect barometer for the truth, as they certainly can lie and get away with it, but it's better than nothing.
It would apply if the ingredients were contaminated when they were processed but wasn't detected until after they were sold.
I love how Bolt.io tore down a pair of Beats headphones and came to the opposite conclusion -- that they were a ripoff and that the components inside in no way justified the pricetag.

But, take a look at the quality of the internals of Juicero vs. Beats headphones and realize that one of the companies is worth $1.5B while the other is shutting down.
Just want to point out there is a difference between you pushing yourself to the edge of what you're comfortable with and someone trying to concoct a way to get others to push themselves to the edge of what they are comfortable with.

If you try to do what Gordy did with experienced musicians they'll probably permanently blacklist you.
For assumption 1:

For every two points, the norm of the gradient is bounded by some constant times the absolute values/normed values between the two points. So the slope is bounded.

For assumption 2:

Same as assumption one, but true for the the second derivative to. So the change in slope (acceleration) is bounded. So no starts, no stops.

I don't think the price point per se is an issue, people happily pay over 400 for a quality juicer. But the kind of person who does that probably wants the full experience, chopping the vegetables etc. This experience just seems too similar to just buying high quality juice in the shop.

I know this model works for coffee, but there the prefab alternative is not an option.

Storyful | Front-end Developer | Dublin, Ireland | ONSITE | https://storyful.com/about/careers/

We find breaking news on social platforms, verify it for journalistic ethics, license where appropriate and supply to our clients; among whom we count a large chunk of the world's news rooms. We're often the first to source, and verify the authenticity of, news of global and/or critical importance.

Some projects we've worked on recently include a collaboration with international journalists to build a fake news source database and a platform to track and index communications by ISIL on so-called 'closed-networks'.

We're hiring for a Front-end Developer. Deep knowledge of Javascript is a must; experience with Ember or strong experience with another front-end JS framework is a huge plus.

We're still a small engineering team at under 40 people, so you have a chance to make a real difference whilst doing work that is truly fulfilling.

Uber for babysitting could work if it targeted stay at home moms and dads as both users and providers, so I have to watch my kid anyways, why not watch a play date? Or I need a break, perhaps someone could watch my kid for awhile?

United Income | Brand New FinTech Startup | Full Stack Engineer - Node and/or Python background | Onsite in Washington, DC | Full Time

We all are coming from a very successful startup that exited about 2 years ago. We have a great team and are continuing to hire. Currently looking for a talented full stack engineer with a background/degree/passion in Math or Finance along with experience in Node and/or Python. Stack includes React, AWS (Serverless - API Gateway/Lambda), Node, Python, and more! More information about us here: https://unitedincome.com/

One thought is that a lot of the current/recent tools in this area focus of synchronous collaboration. And it's not clear to me that sending your collaborators a regular stream of non-maskable interrupts is the best route to great products or ideas. So how about some tools that promote asynchronous collaboration?

Not 100% sure what the next stage is, though. I personally find e-mail a pretty good medium for having a considered discussion -- but it doesn't seem to work that way for everyone. Maybe an opportunity there?
Holy crap. That's the kind of thing I expect from undergrads who don't know what COTS stands for.

Like how do you convince yourself that this is a sane design for something more than a prototype? Using more off the shelf stuff might result a little more weight and a higher overall part count but the cost savings would be huge.
> The concept of food that's uniquely tagged and tracked from origin to consumption is pretty attractive - makes contamination a breeze to trace back, keeps you from cooking with rotten food since the machine knows to reject it, and it could automatically track what you've got in your kitchen to suggest recipes / restock for you.

What makes you think people want those things? I certainly don't, and I've never heard anyone mention wanting any of those things. I have heard people mention that they hate appliances like the coffee makers that only work with the expensive patented coffee pods from their manufacturer. (And printers, etc.)

I don't want any appliance that the manufacturer can shut down or refuse to run remotely. (See the recent story about the guy who paid off his car, but it was disabled remotely because he didn't pay the "remove the disabler" fee.)

In ~35 years of cooking, I don't recall ever using ingredients that went bad. I'm sure I probably did once or twice, but it didn't leave a bad enough impression on me to even remember, let alone want this sort of device that's tethered to the network and manufacturer, with all the problems that brings.
Make sure to start collecting unemployment as soon as possible. For people with savings that don't feel like they need it, you can tend to let that slip.

If the job search takes longer than you anticipated you may have left a few thousand on the table.
Yep. I'm looking forward to finish our implementation using WebDNN. It's super fast
Interesting concept...
Tracking what you have to suggest recipes or restock - that's the feature that seems most appealing. But I don't think you need a network like you describe to accomplish that. You could have a "smart" fridge or some other device that can catalog your food for you thru imaging and scans. Hell, you could just input a list you type up yourself. Like you say, Amazon could easily do this. They already have a part of it with their dash buttons and smart home devices. They have another part now with Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh.

The other benefits you mention are marginal at best, in my opinion. I would never pay a premium for tagged and tracked food like that.

Edit: Funny, there's a post on overengineering on the front page!
I don’t think you realize how much labor and arable land goes into wine making. It also creates a lot of alcoholics.

When the normal culture in vast regions of the country is to drink 6 liters of wine per day (yes one person) you have a problem. One way to fix it is to incentivize people to stop hoarding hectoliters of wine in their basements.

My grandpa stopped making wine 5 or os years ago and still has about 1,000 liters of inventory. Now that he drinks less it’s almost def gonna last him for as long as he stays kicking.

How’s that for broken window?
So, I heard about flow before. However, I feel more comfortable (I don't know if it's the flow) at late night. Is there anyway to "change my flow time" ?

Outreach (https://www.outreach.io) | Software Engineer | Seattle | ONSITE

I found Outreach last year on a "Who is hiring?" thread myself and joined the team shortly thereafter. I'm now the lead for one of our two platform teams and I'm looking to hire experienced software engineers to help us scale our backend systems.

Outreach is a sales engagement platform. We've got great customers (https://www.outreach.io/customers/) and have raised around $60M to date (through a series C round). We just moved into a new office in the Fremont/Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. We pay competitive market salaries and offer excellent benefits. For example, I just returned to work from four weeks of paternity leave and was welcomed with eight weeks of paid postpartum doula support; I can't express how thankful my family was to have four well-rested nights of sleep each week.

Our team is working to scale our monolithic Ruby on Rails application as our customer list continues to grow. We own our core CRM, API platforms, background frameworks and our bidirectional syncing systems with Salesforce. In addition to Ruby/Rails, we use MySQL, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch and Redis.

For the backend role, I am particularly interested in individuals with strong software design/architecture skill sets and those who excel at managing complexity.

Please reach out to ted.kimble@outreach.io if you are interested. We also have a number of other engineer opportunities available, including roles in front-end development (React), data science and machine learning. See our careers page for all job details: https://outreach.io/company/careers/.
Great article.

Another thing to consider before you build Uber for X: there will come a time, perhaps in the next couple of years, when people stop tolerating having monopoly technology companies as intermediaries for everything. Or they will tolerate some business involvement when it really is a deep value add, but there will be much more competition and the types of fees being charged will have to be much more reasonable.

The reason these companies become so huge so fast is of course because what they are mainly doing is managing basic logistics and information flow (payment being part of that).

The reason we need these companies, or think we need them, is because we do not yet have practical and popular decentralized systems that can replace them. Most people are not aware of the existence of decentralized platforms that could possibly replace the centralized servers and banks.

But these decentralized platforms do exist and more innovations happen every day. Popular examples are Bitcoin and Ethereum but that barely scratches the surface of what is actually already a large ecosystem of peer-based systems with many types of capabilities.

And I know that it will be really hard to convince most people that these services could exist without centralized servers or payment intermediaries. But maybe look into places like reddit.com/r/rad_decentralization or r/Ethereum to start to get an idea.
What value does this add over stocking various drinks, in containers, in a refrigerated case with no machine?

I've noticed that the digital multi-flavor soda dispensers create more customer bottlenecks compared the regular 4-6 nozzle dispensers. Having every customer figure out how to load a "juice pack" then operate the machine seems like it would have a similar inconveniencing effect.
If it knows when and where for everything about an ingredient, it probably also knows the tagged expiry/best-before. It's easy to play it safe and just reject everything past expiry, even if it need not actually have gone bad. And consumers who prioritize contamination safety (not everyone believes expiry dates, but many do) can respect that.

There are cases where something can go bad before its expiry date, due to improper storage, but storage conditions until food reaches given appliance could be tracked too to account for that.
