Boston, MA - Ruby/Rails Engineers

Earth Aid ( http://earthaid.net ) is newly venture-backed by Point Judith Capital as well as strategic and angel investors who have built and scaled some of the most successful businesses today. We've been called "the killer app for energy efficiency" ( http://bit.ly/dZBy7q ) and our work has been featured in publications such as Mashable ( http://on.mash.to/hqyZqF ), TechCrunch, The New York Times ( http://nyti.ms/ayzLHb ), The Washington Post, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. We currently have small offices in San Francisco and Washington, DC, and we're now consolidating our presently distributed dev team and HQ into a brand new office opening in Boston/Cambridge in May!

We are looking for people who want to work on incredibly complex problems and come up with solutions that will change the world. This is an opportunity to not only work with a dynamic group of people, but also the opportunity to build a platform that's revolutionizing the way we look at energy consumption. We want the best and the brightest. People who work hard and play hard. People who want to make an impact. Why be a cog in the wheel when you can help steer the ship?

I would guess that it may have been seen as a joke.... "adult company"..."many positions available"... April Fools... Just a guess :)
by god, think about not sending the whole mail with all partners to every partner that gets the mail too, this could easily lead to more killings than Natural Born Killers is said to have lead to.
Fools of a Long-Ago April
It's not just "social status", it's the fact that science sucks as a career.

Physics is a particularly pathological field, but to take my own example, I got a PhD in 1998 when the American Physical Society estimated that about 3% of physics PhDs minted that year would ultimately get a permanent job in that field.

Now, one day I realized I could work for two years doing some obscure math and one or two people in the world might care, or I could spend three weekends developing a Java applet and then get 50,000 hits to my web site and offers of consulting work. Moving to computing was an easy decision, but I still felt a lot of anguish giving up something that I really loved.

The people who stayed in the field, however, all suffered devastation in their personal lives. I saw one postdoc, who is one of the most brilliant physicists of his generation (or just one of the few?) and who had an excellent publication record, in agony for two years because he had no idea how he was going to get his next job. Somebody like that ought to be focusing on their research, not suffering like that.

My thesis advisor and his female partner got professorships in places that were across the U.S. so he basically abandoned his son. Another professor who was very helpful to me wanted to have children very badly but waited until his wife got tenure and had become infertile. Another one commuted across Germany by train every weekend so he could see his family once in a while.

I can think of many physicists who are very pleasant people (particularly those who entered the field in the 1960s and before) but too many successful physicists are miserable emotional basket cases who've been scared for life by the process of getting a PhD, getting a tenure track position, and getting tenure.

Writers like Freud and Bly write about how people get abused, come to identify with the abusers, and then become like the abusers, transmitting their trauma to the next generation. The physics community is a clear example of this.

Now, I know not all academic fields are this bad. The supply of PhDs and jobs for PhDs is usually better in math and computer science, two fields I have a little contact with. The structure of biology research groups where professors sometimes supervise 10-20 students and postdocs suggests that the biology PhD may be, like the physics PhD, a form of exploitation rather than an apprentenceship.

Clearly the U.S. produces more scientists than their are jobs for scientists and anybody who says we need more is an ass. If working conditions became more attractive, however, we might have a science community that attracts emotionally healthy people who will be, in the long run, more productive.
That's what they claim, sure. But does it really work like that? It seems to me that there would have to be local copies of those videos, if for no other reason than synching production quality videos to the cloud in realtime is probably unrealistic. Maybe some HNer working in the TV industry can elaborate?
Is there a way to analyze which server (CDN) delivers the same content faster?
SEEKING WORK.

Remote work only. Live and work in Austin, TX.

I've worked with Java for 13 years and jQuery for over 3 years. I'm open to anything really as long as it's interesting and gives me a reason to get excited to sit in front of my computer for full days of coding. Something that's interesting to work on would take preference over something that's dull but pays well. Flexible to work on your schedule. Contact me via the e-mail in my profile.
Great point. He also wrote about that very publicly.

The greater point is that Clarkson doesn't pull any punches, regardless of the make/model/drivetrain. He likes what he likes and speaks his mind about it.
It's one of those "haha... but seriously" type of April Fools.
$300K isn't inconceivable. The superintendant of my HS's district made a little over $250K, and that was ~7 years ago.

Some individual teachers in Chicago ostensibly made over $400K during their final year since they cashed out 20+ years of sick and/or vacation days.

You must 'walk' two fingers in the corners like a treadmill, to draw the spikes back far enough (as long as at least one finger is down at all times it won't spring back), and then time your finger press to the rhythm to avoid the shunting guillotine and hit the exposed button.
Hopefully we can get a team to take over and then possibly be at Echelon in Singapore. We will see how things develop in the next few days :)

Why I Decided to Work at a Startup After Graduating
That still doesn't mean that the nation or world is better off, even economically, with the current number of scientists.

The problem with using simplistic economic models when talking about scientific research is that it's extremely hard to quantify its value. Basic research has made tremendous advances in our health, standard of living and general wealth. It's also very difficult to determine how much each person's contribution was worth. I've read that surveys of late 19th industrialists and leaders who voted steam engine improvements as the most critical field for technological advancement for the next 100 years. It's an amusing idea in retrospect, but who would have paid for research that would lead to flight or electric rail?

CDs, lasers, integrated circuits, etc... are great! But what kind of "demand" was there for research into quantum mechanics 80 years ago? Even if the demand were quantified, how much would each scientists contribution be rewarded? Surely, Feynman and other scientists building upon Einstein and Heisenberg's ideas created something of great wealth for us! But for the most part, those scientists won neither fame nor riches.

As long as the focus is on simple short-term supply and demand, this is how it works. The scientist makes a clean pass, but it's the businessman or the engineer who takes the ball the last few paces, scores and gets all the glory. I for one believe that China is doing it right in this regard. The government is taking the lead in subsidising and investing in technological infrastructure as well as basic research to create more opportunities for private entrepreneurs in the long run.
More recent scholarly work has been done by Mary Carruthers. I have found her books, "The Book of Memory: A Study of Memory in Medieval Culture" and "The Craft of Thought: Meditation, Rhetoric, and the Making of Images, 400-1200", to be more engaging and useful than Yates.

Were scientists paid more than professional athletes in the 50s and 60s? I somehow doubt it. There's a lot that's ridiculous about this article (His "30 year slump" completely dismisses information technology for example). But with such a clear fallacy at the very core of his argument it seems unproductive to debate points that support that flawed argument.

Your claim that your wife isn't paid enough is demonstrably false. Sorry if this sounds like a smart-aleck reply, but I mean it in a dispassionate sense.

I've seen the challenge she faces at her job and I can tell you -- this is not enough money.

This is a conversation about economics, incentives, and what people actually choose to do. It is not about feelings, platitudes, and how we believe that the world should work.

Any economist can tell you that if your wife and the school have entered into this arrangement of their own free will, then the amount that she is getting compensated is enough -- by definition.

The fact that she is willing to perform her job for this salary and other benefits shows definitely that she values her compensation more than she values what she could otherwise derive from any other opportunity open to her. If there were something else that increased her personal utility function more, than by definition, she would choose that alternative. The absence of such a choice demonstrates that this is the best available.
