SEEKING WORK - Remote

I'm a designer/coder which I hear is rarity. So there you go!

- Front end: HTML 5, CSS, JS/Jquery.
- PHP development. I'd like to do more 5.3 but I'm more weathered in 5.2 due to client demands. Also Codeigniter. But I can pick up most things.

If you're really desperate, I can hit things with Perl too.

I use Mercurial for source control but I'm comfortable with git also. I'm familiar with most modern day practices & processes. I won't say I've been overly-exposed to something like Agile or TDD for instance because I haven't. But I get these things and I learn quick :)

I have worked on pretty much every kind of site imaginable now and would estimate I've built an area of internet roughly the size of Ireland.

My own site is currently temporarily based at http://pitbot.pgkit.com (and something else I threw together at http://applab.pgkit.com). Happy to supply URL's of other recent work (and not so recent too if you like history!)

Email is in profile.

I'm UK based.

> Further, the admin do extensive "cleaning" of torrents they deem inapproriate (for example files put in the wrong section), but never clean up copyright infringing files.

I can tell that a movie is, for example, a RomCom by looking at it. How do I know a given copy of a specific 50 Cent video is a copyright infringement?

I mention 50 cent because I understand that various artists have released independently produced videos for general distribution. In addition, labels have done the same thing.
Preventing Recursion in Ruby
Possibly - I won't know until I've played with the code a bit. But it seems to me that Susy has brought a simple but extremely powerful idea to implementing front-end code - instead of using a presentational element and layout-related class names like "row" etc. you can use a semantically-appropriate HTML element and @include your markup via a mixin. The actual CSS implementation can be the same - it's just that it is possible to separate the semantic HTML from the presentational structure (nested selectors with included of mixins as allowed by LESS/SASS) and the CSS implementation in the generated CSS.

Sporting Solutions (Part of sporting index group) - based in London (near Waterloo), UK - FULL TIME

We are currently in the process of building out our next generation Cloud based sports pricing platform. This allows sports traders in other gaming companies to use our real time quantitative models over the web to predict the outcome of a wide range of sports events in real time. You can find out more about what we're doing here: http://www.sportingsolutions.com/products/c2e

We're looking for great web developers, web ops and customer integration engineers to join us. Core technology stack is .net but we're happy using whatever tools help us get the job done including c#, f#, node.js, scala, erlang, mongodb, rabbit mq and redis to name a few. We're fans of REST, distributed systems and lean start-up methodologies (we see ourselves as an internal start-up - without the raw financial pressures of a typical start-up I guess)

If it sounds interesting - get in touch with me - abritcliffe [at] sportingindex.com

I'm genuinely conflicted about the Dodd controversy. Like so many other people, I was quick to condemn him for his statement/threat.

However, it was comments here on HN that made me question just how different it is from, say, me deciding not to contribute to a politician's campaign because I don't like what he has supported. My final feelings are that there's a sliver of difference because (a) I believe that my actions are for the greater good rather than my own self interest, and (b) I'm looking at a larger picture than lobbying over a single issue. But in the end, I've not been able to prove to myself that those differences are sufficiently objective and measurable to be able to sustain the complaint against Dodd.
Cool non-story, bro
I’d be interested to know what other options are around, it’s the only one I’ve come across to be honest and debugging multicast is such a pain.

Anyone knows a good cheap dedicated server company like this in Hong Kong? I use Hetzner and love it but I need another dedicated server in Hong Kong or Singapore.
London, UK

FULLTIME or INTERN

REMOTE or onsite in our London offices, or some hybrid arrangement.

We are building CopyCopy (http://www.copycopy.cc/) - a cross-platform productivity tool that makes it simple to transfer anything between phones and desktop computers.

We use:

• Java (for Android, BackberryOS, GWT and in our homegrown lightweight Java server)

• C++ (for Win32, Qt, Android NDK and Objective-C++)

• Python (occasionally) to string bits together

• Objective-C (iPhone and Mac)

• JavaScript (web frontend work and browser extensions)

• Redis

We are a young startup headed by experienced engineers, and moving fast towards the first launch. You will have the opportunity of working on self-contained projects from spec to release to consumers. Our Git repositories, code review and Project Management tools are geared towards remote working and we are open to flexible working conditions. We urgently need full-timers and interns (paid).

Equity on top of salary for the right candidate.

We are happy to consider remote workers who are located in timezones +/-3 hours from London or you can work in our new North West London offices.

Apply now to find out about our "secret sauce" that will make CopyCopy the simplest way of transferring anything between devices.

Just send your CV to jobs@copycopy.cc now!
We're looking for Django developers.

Remote work is fine, but Providence, RI area is preferable (or, a willingness to consider relocation eventually; though to be clear, for the right person this isn't a requirement at all).

We're a small design driven development company working exclusively on Django projects. Very flexible work environment, bonus options, etc. We are not a funded startup, we're bootstrapping ourselves. We have a large fluffy dog as the office mascot!

Must enjoy, or tolerate, a wide variety of musical genres and styles.

Email peter at projectevolution.com if you're interested!

While I don't much like Chris Dodd, what, exactly has he done wrong?

Yes, he's said that MPAA members are going to be less likely to make campaign contributions to folks who don't vote the way the MPAA . So what?

Do any of you contribute to candidates who do things that you don't like? Or, do you contribute only to those who do things that you do like?

Why should MPAA members be any different?

I note that candidates make promises like "if elected, I'll work to repeal DADT" and organizations do fundraisers for candidates based on said promises.

How is this any different?

There is a monthly cost and also tiered, metered usage. Keep in mind this isn't just for accessing North American exchanges. Our data customers can access all data we have, from the 110+ countries we collect feeds from.
Not only does it lack a standard library, it lacks a standard metaobject protocol. The fact that a MOP can be implemented in Lua is very nifty, but not having a standard one makes an ecosystem of shared code very difficult.
OVH definitely does not provide good hardware; we have more broken disks and NICs there than all our other hosters combined.

Edit: I see we might be exceptions. We have been using OVH since 2005, running up to 40 servers about 2 years ago. We are also running at iWeb, Softlayer, Amazon and Leaseweb. Hardware wise the only one we have issues with is OVH, and i'm talking every 2 weeks since 2005 (in 2006 they managed to lose all our data on 2 clustered RAID machines; one died, all corrupted, then when we were busy setting up the replacement, the other one died...). But they are so cheap and easy (like the easy OS installation which is cloud-like, already for many years) we stick with them for some projects which need high spec hardware in clusters. Note: the SSD drives are great, no problems with those so far (knock on wood).

At first, it will run by itself.

Then something will break and nobody will bring it back up. So for months, it will just show an Apache error page. You'll see people complaining about it on Twitter. (maybe you'll even hear Timothy Sykes bitch about it on Mixergy…)

Then you'll check one day and the domain will strangely redirect to a baseball site.

And of course, further down the road, it will just be a parked domain.

And there's nothing you can do about it…

On a related note, I once had a dispute with Valve about a buggy game I bought on Steam. Their support wouldn't say anything except point me to the subscriber agreement, which says that they could send you a copy of notepad instead of the game you purchased and you'd still be out of luck.

I considered doing a chargeback, but thankfully I researched it first and found out that if you do a chargeback, Valve will disable all of your games, including the ones not under dispute. It was so cleverly evil, I'm still not quite sure what combination of impressed and disgusted to be.

The answer to "do we own our Steam games" isn't just "no", it's "no, and Valve know this, and they use that fact punitively when they want to".

LocalBonus (New York, NY)
FULL TIME Rails Developer in NYC (or REMOTE)

Why us:
- Product is something you'd use (we let consumers use their existing credit/debit cards as loyalty cards at local businesses)
- Seed funding already closed (recently... so we have runway)
- You'd be the third person on the team so there's plenty of equity to work with
- We're currently in the Entrepreneur's Roundtable Accelerator program (http://eranyc.com)
- CTO has 12 years software dev experience, 6 years managing tech teams. He's an awesome mentor (and generally awesome guy). Among other things, he managed the team that built Australia's largest Ruby on Rails application.
- CEO is a Stanford grad with 6+ years direct experience in our industry
- Ability to shape corporate culture. We tend to be disciplined and professional about the stuff that matters and very casual/flexible about the stuff that doesn't.
- Our main stack is Rails 3.1, MySQL (moving to MongoDB soon), jQuery, and HAML.
- Looking to build out our iOS and Android platform. If you have experience here, you'd be in charge of this.

Ideal candidate:
- 2-3 years full time dev experience in Ruby (will consider light Ruby experience or more junior if you're a solid fit and eager to learn)
- Smart / raw talent / logical thought process important
- Entrepreneurial hustle - basically someone that wants to contribute a lot to LocalBonus and then be CTO/Founder of their own company after this.

Help Employee Rights?
I work for a smallish tech company and regularly do outside tech work. I also have dreams of bootstrapping a startup. Recently we were acquired by a much larger corp.

Now I'm being forced to accept the following company policy:

"All writings, artwork and other creative materials in all media, developments, inventions, techniques, methods, improvements, products, devices, programs, or systems that I shall conceive, develop, or make within the scope of my employment by the Company or that are directly related to such employment, whether or not the same are conceived, developed or made during regular work hours, on the Company's premises or using the Company's systems, shall be divulged to the Company and shall be the sole property of the Company as work made for hire in which the Company shall own all rights whether or not the same are capable of protection under copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws, and whether or not the Company registers or seeks registration of any copyright, patent or trademark or other proprietary rights in respect therof. In the event that anything I conceive, develop or make with the scope of my employment does not qualify as "work made for hire" under applicable law, I hereby assign to the Company all interest and rights therein. I shall cooperate fully in the establishment and maintenance of all such rights of the Company throughout the world by executing such documents as may reasonably be requested for such purposes such as copyright applications, Letters Patent, And assignments thereof to the Company."

I understand I should probably get legal advice but I'm poor and I'm hoping maybe someone on here has dealt with something similar or has info to share.

Thanks!

Depends on how you're defining "actionable."

I signed a petition against the White House's plan to put airport usage fees in place for general aviation, effectively charging pilots to talk to air traffic control. This is a Really Bad Idea (I'm happy to delineiate why in future comments if there is interest but for now I'll play the "I'm a pilot, trust me" card).

The response was just a politely verbose version of "f*ck you, we're going to do it anyway."

So I joined the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association PAC and started contributing money that I'm sure will be used to bribe the right people. Sad that it came to that, but the White House has decided that they have a good idea, logic be damned, so they're bulling ahead.
Which is a very wise policy. It's not like deleting apparently unused code that you can get back from version control if you turn out to be wrong. The cost of carrying a hundred unused columns around forever is negligible compared to the cost of deleting one that turned out to be still used.
Harvard Experiment Fund, Backed by NEA, Joins Crowded Investor Field
Yes you can, I was once gifted a game by someone from different zone.

Also, the pricing zones aren't that much about euro/dollar as they are about distributors (some of them at least). They are no different from music/movie distributors. I would understand that in the case of Skyrim for example, where the Russian version is much cheaper. But I really don't understand why some distributors make games cheaper in US than in Europe, considering the Europe is well bellow the USA in purchasing power. And if I remember correctly, Australians got the most expensive games of all.

We can only be happy that there are no zone restrictions as there are on DVDs. Or are there?
