Lookout Mobile Security, San Francisco, CA - Full time
https://www.mylookout.com/about/careers

I'm the data scientist here and like every other company we're looking for good people across the board. Lookout is the current leader in consumer mobile security, and we're aiming to keep it that way. We're a small, well-funded team tackling big problems on small devices.

Perks include: competitive salary, benefits, mobile phone of your choice, dream hardware setup of your choice, and a new office space in January when we move (We'll be on two floors at Market and 1st). There's also the standard start-up perks like a well-stocked fridge, craft beers on tap, and the fuzzy feeling that comes with shipping meaningful, net-positive products.

For engineering, experience in Rails, iOS, Android, and/or network/mobile security are awesome to have, but not required.

With respect to data, If you're interested in machine learning and implementing it in any language, then I'm interested in a conversation with you. Bonus points if you use plyr.

We are also looking for: a lead UX designer, a senior PM, QA, ops, technical recruiter, and a lot more. Check out the link and see if anything interests you.

I like it here--everyone here is conscious about how it's very easy to inject FUD into the mobile security space, and we really believe in selling a mobile security product that isn't based on fear, uncertainty, and doubt. If you decide to give us a pass, do find a startup on this page with people you truly enjoy working with--they honestly make all the difference!

Regardless of whatever position you're interested in, send me an e-mail with questions, resumes, requests for beer, etc. to thomson.nguyen@mylookout.com.

(Response guaranteed!)
Still seems sort of shitty.
Interesting theory you've got there. Please explain why, if he was considered such a security risk, he was charged and tried publicly in a civilian court, and then allowed to roam freely for two years after his conviction.
I thought it was one of the clearest explanations I have ever seen on github. Many other projects would have a lot of text, no video, and if ever a video it would need flash and load slowly. While I agree the quality of the video isn't top notch, its clear in seconds what the project does.
I was specifically calling out the text editor comment of your parent, but there are many different choices for shells.

Bourne, ash, bash, dash, ksh, mksh, zsh, csh, tcsh, rc, GNU Screen, etc, Each of them has a slightly different featureset. You can go with the default of bash and it could work out very well for you, but you'd be turning down potentially better alternatives. You seem pretty derisive towards hobbyist projects for a site called "Hacker News". That hobbyist project could be the best thing you've ever used, but you'll never know. That was the entire point of my original post.
The introduction appears to mix fact, speculation, and editorializing.

For instance, under the subheading "Weaponizing Data Kills Innocent People", it talks about "Intelligence Integration Systems, Inc" (IISi) and "Netezza", neither of which appear in the files. In fact, the story described was covered in the press last year[1]. The implication is that civilian deaths from drone strikes is somehow related to this release...but it isn't.

Does this (and/or the original) work like a proper pie menu, i.e. I can manipulate it with a drag, not just two clicks? And is the the active area really a slice of a pie and not just the circular icon (i.e. it allows be to drag beyond one of the icons, and it still works if I'm in its "shadow").

Adobe sits and thinks about what the next steps are for Flash and web standards organizations sit and think about how to replicate what Flash does – understand the demand cycle.

My point isn't that HTML5 sucks, it's that people see it as better than Flash – but it isn't, sadly. That isn't an evangelistic statement, it is a factual one. To push forward, we can't be ignorant. We (as a community) have to look at what Flash does and take it for HTML5 and then come back to the table at least as often as Adobe. Otherwise, Flash will always be better.
Dojo is extremely modular (unlike jQuery which is has a pretty big monolithic core and overloads $ for almost everything).

If what you have to do is manipulate the DOM and do XMLHttpRequests, then jQuery is more than good enough, otherwise Dojo has a lot to offer.

Some features from Dojo which are not about DOM manipulation or XMLHttpRequests that I use a lot:

- AMD-style modules (you can have this with jQuery, but Dojo is built with AMD from the ground up)
http://livedocs.dojotoolkit.org/loader/amd

- the build system
http://livedocs.dojotoolkit.org/build/index

- object stores
http://livedocs.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/index#store-dojo-store

- deferreds (jQuery has these now)
http://livedocs.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/Deferred

- templated widget definitions
http://livedocs.dojotoolkit.org/dijit/_TemplatedMixin

- publish/subscribe
http://livedocs.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/publish

- observable attributes
http://livedocs.dojotoolkit.org/dojo/Stateful

This doesn't mean that you should be using it, just use what feels better for you. For some people (like me), Dojo is what feels better.
In their shoes, I would have contacted the researcher and explained myself. While unsurprising, that move was unwise, and I would imagine that you agree on that point at least.

I think what's really remarkable about this is that Apple issued a statement seemingly less than 24 hours after it became an issue. In the past, Apple has tended to wait a week or so before issuing statements, resulting in a lot of criticism and the issues sometimes steamrolling simply due to the fact that the charges aren't answered.

I'm not at all surprised that Apple isn't violating users privacy.

I hide mine in the folder on my desktop labeled "porn". Neither myself or my girlfriend have any problems with it, but I know plenty of my friends who would be offended if they saw it. On my laptop I keep it in a truecrypt folder with a password I share with the girlfriend (because she adds to it and uses it, not because she wants to spy); that way if I have any stuff I need to do at work with the laptop I can be comfortable knowing it's not going to pop up in a presentation. I think what's changed since I was 16 and had a deeply hidden folder is that I'm no longer embarrassed about it, I just worry that I'll accidentally offend someone else.

It is modular, you only use the modules you need, and you only load the javascript you need. As for data-*, you only use that if you want, it is a feature provided by another module. If you don't like it then don't use that feature and don't load that module ('dojo/parser'). You can create widgets programatically like in jQuery (and thats what I do).

I'm looking into starting at a job that is 100% remote with a completely distributed team. I've always done my best work alone, but I'm still anxious to be home in the house 24 x 7. Also, I'm married, so any insight how this affects the work/life balance would be great.

Any tips?

The single most anti-science stance in government and industry is the prohibition on hemp. The chemurgists of the 1920s and 30s had figured out that anything made from a hydrocarbon can also be made from a carbohydrate. This knowledge, combined with George Schlichten's decorticator (the cotton gin of hemp), was about to revolutionize both agriculture and manufacturing (as detailed in this 1938 article in Popular Mechanics: http://books.google.com/books?id=e9sDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA238#v...) when industry, using its power via its control of the American Congress, outlawed an entire plant.

The anti-science attitude starts in the worlds of entrenched business and government interests that have little to no wish to see humanity progress beyond those interests.
Rootkit, Eh?
While I'd agree that the documentation could really use an overhaul, once you figure out what the "modern" way to use it is - I've found it to be none of the things which you describe it. I recently implemented an application on the 1.6 version of Dojo, and found it pretty easy to set things up using an MVC pattern which, while I could have implemented myself in JQuery, would have taken longer and wouldn't have been built to the standard Dojo expects. Here are a few things I like about it:

* It has a layout manager, so I can build fluid UIs that are divided up into various content panes that react via the MVC model. I tried a few different layout manager options out there under JQuery, and none of them integrated well with other libs I wanted to use.

* It has an event bus built in, which means I can decouple components but allow them to communicate asynchronously.

* It has a wide range of components that I can drop in, rather than writing myself.

* It's component model is actually kind of slick. You can define a view file, which is just some specially marked up HTML, and then a backing code file for it, which acts as the controller / event manager for the file. You can then define classes at the page level that act as controllers to wire up all of your individual components. No generation via strings.

* It has a built in dependency mechanism that dynamically loads only the components you need for a given page. It also has a build system that lets you package up only the components your application actually uses.

Sure, I could hunt around and try and duct-tape each of these pieces together individually with JQuery, but for my use cases, the "batteries included" model worked really, really well.

Probably closer to more like something out of the 90s. Also very much age / culture / internet age related.

I think many of the attitudes regarding porn has changed simply because it became so ubiquitous that it changed culture, not that culture somehow grew up and grew to embrace porn.
The central and northern countries which crank out the goods are in neutral and so perhaps they aren's spending as much on their vacations down south.

Greece specially, accounting for 15% of GDP, is in a hole. Maybe the southern countries are less competitive vs. the central and northern Eurozone economies, this exacerbated by the Euro making Germany's exchange rate to the Euro weak while Greece's exchange rate to the Euro strong, relatively speaking.

They have structural problems. They have to learn to compete on the global marketplace -not just with sandy beaches.
Why not 'I trust you' and if something is an issue or a potential issue we can talk about it and try to reach an agreeable resolution?
It has actually been pretty demoralizing to me participating in agile techniques as a professional. Ive been in SCRUM meetings where everyone would stand in a circle and the project manager would bring in a timer and time everyone when they started speaking. If you went over 2 minutes the PM would immediately cut you off and move to the next person. On other occasions Ive had PMs ask me (in an accusatory manner) why it has taken me 4 hours to do a task I estimated at 3 hours. Keep in mind that these experiences were at a relatively small startup not a mega-corp. I don't know of any other creative, well-paid, educated profession where this would be even close to tolerated and I think its a trajedy that this sort of stuff has become common place. Unfortunately for the company the way I and other coworkers "self-corrected" the process is by moving on to another place where that doesn't occur - ended up being a great solution for me.

Yes, I really liked that project and I think the design is fantastic (it leverages WebKit for rendering).

Both TermKit and this project will have an interesting dilemma with editing remote files though. The advantage of SSH is that you really aren't storing any remote files locally (only the currently visible characters are stored in memory). An editor that uses this new model and eliminates lag requires transfer of remote files to the local computer. There are a lot of situations where this is not a viable option.
I think I'm coming across as more of a conspiracy theorist here than I intended.

When he was convicted for homosexuality, it would have come to the attention of various senior people in government. They would have wanted to make an example of him, being as he was a relatively well known figure at the time, much like what happened with Oscar Wilde.

They would have also had concerns about his homosexuality being used against him by britain's enemies, and also because of the recent uncovering of a ring of soviet spies who were all drawn from an intellectual set, all academics, and two of whom were gay.

What I am saying is, I find it likely that these government/military figures would have found it highly convenient for Turing to disappear, or at least have his life made extremely difficult for him. They couldn't have him executed for his sexuality, but they could apply chemical castration. They did offer him the choice between castration and prison, and I accept that this weakens my case. You might ask, if they were that concerned, why didn't they just have him conveniently die in a car crash? My answer would be that they weren't that concerned, it was an opportunistic thing.

Also to be honest I am not entirely convinced that his death by poisoned apple was necessarily suicide, but there is no evidence for that, and there never will be.
Does competition lead to sensationalism?
> Does anyone actually think dojo has a future compared to the power that jquery gives to make your own "widgets" but far simpler than dojo?

It really depends on what you're trying to do, I suspect. I'm on the jQuery core team and it's nice to have a lot of people building off our work.

> The simplest tutorials in the dojo documentation put html tags in the JavaScript code. Generating them like strings.

Yes, simple documentation examples often have HTML in them, the jQuery docs do it too at times. It's a lot harder to build real examples without all the extra stuff getting in the way of the simple concept you're trying to demonstrate.

Go into your browser's debugger and look at how many apps (including jQuery-based ones) are written. They use MVC frameworks but then create big chunks of HTML in JavaScript to generate the views rather than using templates. Here's one for example, from a very large newspaper site:
http://i.imgur.com/a4R6I.png

Are you saying that jQuery is to blame for this app using embedded HTML, since we sometimes use it in our demonstrations for the docs?

> Dojo is too big, too complicated and bloated. It should be split up/down in all its major components.

Waitaminit, I thought jQuery was too complicated and bloated, at least that's what several people here were telling me when I posted the announcement here about jQuery 1.7 being released.

Most likely a big app needs darn near every byte of the base library it includes. Go over and look at the Mootools configurable download builder and tell me which of those checkboxes you could leave empty on a big project. Many of these big apps are more than half a megabyte of minified code. All of jQuery is about 92KB and Dojo is 100KB. I have seen the other 400+KB, and it is the problem.

Just like programming languages, libraries can be used improperly. Don't blame the library for the people who misuse it.

The average politician sees IP related matters in purely economic terms. So the most effective line of argument is to compare the economic cost of new regulations to their benefit.

I suggest keeping that in mind when writing your representatives on this issue.

Yeah Google obviously isn't trying to protect free speech; they have their own business interest in mind. But really, who cares what their motivation is, as long as someone is fighting the dark side.

This bill has turned into a fight between old Big Business vs. new Big Business. There would be no reason for congressmen to just randomly decide to create a bill like this. It was obviously the result of heavy lobbying from the dying record industry, the overpriced and overpaid film industry, and older tech companies like Microsoft. It's just nice to see newer big companies like Facebook and Google fight on the opposing side, even if it's just because this bill could possibly kill their companies.

I've read the bill myself and it's pretty unsettling. Check section 1.4 for some real-world "1984" thinking.

I don't own one and I didn't get it at first, but after riding one I definitely saw some of the appeal. They are very fun to ride in a "I'm totally connected to this bike" sort of way. If you also take off the hand brake, then there's an added element of fun (and terror) because you're using the same mechanism to go and to stop. There's a sort of minimalist joy in the experience.

Really, if you get a chance, ride one for a bit. They're not super practical on hills, but they work surprisingly well because they're so light.
I'll admit it's probably finding a lot of false positives, but I could make an argument for many of the files you said it flagged.

Contains "ass": ui-bg_glass_55_fbfgee_1x400.png

Contains "stroke", contains "16": stock-selection-stroke-16.png

Contains "cock", contains "x": xlr_pro_mortal_cocktail.png

Contains "hole": whole.png

So basically anything with an x, a possible age, and any number of flagged words/slang/abbreviations, etc could be causing these to be flagged.
When you come across something you are unhappy with, take action to thwart/mitigate/undo it. Don't be fearful of it, fear is not a productive emotion.

Fear is a strong means of control. Why do think demonstrators are being assaulted? Their is certainly an element of trying to induce fear in others of stepping out of and drawing attention to the status quo.
