SEEKING WORK — SF preferred (open to remote)

Most interested in front-end web development: CoffeeScript + Compass & Sass make me happy. I can do Backbone.js, Knockout.js, & like what I have seen of Ember so far.

I am also a sort of generalist & full-stack developer, Rails 3 is my preferred back-end but I can also do Python (some Django & Tornado experience) and PHP (extensive background here, including Kohana).

I can also do some design & create icons when needed.

dude I deal with this shit literally every day. I've spent a ton of time studying what can be done, and lately I've decided to use my skills as a web developer/startup guy to build a tool that can (hopefully) really help people like you and I.

Please email me (if OP is reading this, or anyone else who wants to discuss this) at admin@serpiq.com and I'll share what I'm planning. If you're a rails guy, we can even collaborate on the project (even if you're not, we can figure something out).

EDIT: To add some more to this, don't give up on drugs just yet. I've been taking Prozac for the last few months and it's made a HUGE difference for me. Not saying it's the right drug for you necessarily, but definitely experiment with different options (legally experiment). For instance, I was on Lexapro a few years ago and it royally screwed up my stomach and didn't fix anything.

It's weird, something like that happened to me. I didn't plan this. There was just nothing on TV that I wanted to watch, so I stopped and never really started again.

I do sometimes watch a little TV, but it's pretty rare at this point.
I am not well-versed in the technical details behind bitcoins, but does the nature of bitcoins make them vastly easier to track than normal currency? E.g. if the attackers try to cash out or transfer the stolen bitcoins, is it much easier to flag them?
I just did a Google search for register_globals... mind boggling.

So they looked for connections to the IRC channel bitcoin uses to find linode IP's (or portscanned linode, but why bother when
every bitcoin daemon hangs out advertising its IP on IRC?).

And they stole from at least 3 systems. One had $5; one $15 thousand, and one had nearly a quarter $million. Which makes me curious why they bothered with the $5 account at all. It's like robbing a bank, and stopping to smash a gumball machine in the lobby on your way in or out.

My guess is that the attackers have a fully automated exploit payload that transfers the bitcoin out. And ran it on every system they could get on, indiscrimitely. So this is not a one-off. I'd be very cautious about running the bitcoin daemon, at least without setting noirc=1 in its configuration.

Its far better to have a rich dad/husband than poor one who spends more time.

No. And I don't even know where to begin to answer that, more than that you guys are talking extremes. From a millionaire that's never home to a guy not being able to pay his share of the rent but stalks his kids wherever they go.

Both would be far better of, in my opinion, by settling for something more in the middle.
I feel incidents like these raise an interesting question about the long term credibility of any crypto currency system. For instance if a traditional nation state felt its monetary system was threatened by a crypto currency could they employ an organization such as the NSA to attempt to undermine the credibility of the crypto currency in this way? I know its a very speculative proposition but it makes one wonder if even in a geographically agnostic realm like the internet the force of a nation state is required to maintain crediblity/stability for a new money system.

I don't tend to be complain alot about updates of Ubuntu, but I really hope that button is customizable. I'd not be happy if I'd have to rebind meta key in emacs.
A 'bit coin' is a space on a block chain that everyone has a copy of. You lock the coin with a cryptographpic key, which you need to store. Whoever has a copy of the key can unlock the bitcoin and re lock it with a different key, such that now only the new owner has a copy of the key. Everyone can still see the entire block chain, but only one account (that no one knows the owner of) has the ability to move that coin.

So they got access to these peoples keys and transferred ownership of the coins.

Most money supplies are regulated, but bitcoin isn't regulated. No one has the ability to say 'reverse that transaction', but it also makes the currency safe from inflation and interference by money printing governments and privacy snoops.
About how long have you been using Ubuntu with the vertical application bar for? I know it is highly personal, but I am trying to figure out a rough amount of time...

I have never really been a user of Ubuntu myself but when I (mainly) switched to Linux from Windows, it only took a couple of day to get used to it. Then again, I was never clicking the icons in the application bar before (win key -> typing -> enter).

The Expo at the conference was a little disappointing as well. Many companies claim themselves provide "Big Data Analytics solutions" but deliver products that are little more than wrappers of Hadoop MR or Hive.
My guess is that the attacker doesn't know how many bitcoin were stored on the target's.

What I have found is that you need to separate your personal worth from your startup/professional worth. Do not derive your personal identity from your startup. Although it is easier said than done, but you don't have a choice.

Are you doing anything outside of your startup? Like learning a new language, getting into Art/Movie clubs or travelling?

Where the money goes is all publically available, yes. But it can be split up and fed through any number of accounts (you can make as many accounts as you like) to try to launder it. Also, does Silk Road care where the bitcoin being used to buy drugs came from?
Further analysis of the compromised Linode VPS story
It could be embarrassing to admit that you're duplicating a huge amount of effort for essentially non-technical reasons.
Sacrilege!
People forget why Universal Studios was originally founded. The monopoly envisioned by Edison and company (slowly) gave way to a cartel that arose out of opposition to the incumbent surrounded by a desire to capitalize on untapped opportunity. See this Ars Technica article:

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/09/thomas-ediso...

Far from being a hinderance, the actions of the MPAA and its member studios are an opportunity for smaller, more agile companies to start producing content and refusing to license it to the incumbents. There is a whole new world of distribution out there, and no forced middle-man. Get out there and make it happen.
OK. Thanks. I am beginning to lean towards 2.
I think there's room for two large open source C++ compilers (GCC and Clang), just as there's room for two large open source Web rendering engines (Gecko and WebKit), two large open source general-purpose scripting languages (Python and Ruby), two large open source statically typed VM languages (Java and Mono), three large open source desktop environments (Unity, GNOME, and KDE), etc. Why people think competition is a bad thing (e.g. "the Web should just be WebKit!") is beyond me.
Personal opinion on what I look for...

One preferred. Two at most. Online version highly preferred in addition to print out.

Information overload is not necessary. Not all 14 years are necessary to be put on there even if all 14 years are relevant. Tackle exactly what the job is looking for.

Um.

In that case, the customer was demanding repayment of lost money, alleging the bank's security was negligent, and the bank was basically asking the court to say "it's not our fault somebody got his username/password".
That macro system isn't exactly homoiconicity. Maybe a first-class AST?

The alternative is that they knew Bitcoinia was hosted on Linode, and when this customer service exploit became available for purchase on the 0day market (or whatever), they went in explicitly targeting Bitcoinia, but not knowing which IPs on Linode belonged to it. It's not clear if Bitcoinia separated its web server VM from its bitcoin VM, and if the attackers didn't know, it'd be best to target all the IPs.
I believe Chrome does use Keychain on OS X. The problem is people click the "always allow" access button the first time Chrome tries to access an already stored password, they enter their password, and then the user isn't prompted anymore. Your passwords are safe and encrypted...Chrome can just display them when it's open because it has access, as the user instructed.

Bitcoin faucet had 5 BTC or $20, but it was a service operated by the lead developer of bitcoin, Gavin Andresen. I think the attacker was just showing control of all of linode (rather than individual services). Also a bit of flexing, as he did when crafting a transaction size of 1337 bytes[1] using the stolen coins.

I really respect you for taking the leap and talking about it. This is not an easy decision to make, particularly for folks like me who trend towards stoicism, even at the best of times.

It can be excrutiatingly painful to talk about that which everyone knows, but keeps quiet. In doing so, you not only help yourself resolve your issues, but also allow those who come after you to get a more honest lay of the land, and more ably deal with the challenges that await them.

For that, I salute you.

Thanks.
I see startup depression as a sort of cost of the lifestyle. If your existence depends on the success of your own project, this can be an enormous weight to bear. If you have a bad day, it can easily turn into a bad week if you're not careful.

For me, when things aren't going my way, I just say, "Fuck it" and move on to the next problem. You're are going to lose sometimes, but who cares? You're going to win.

If sheer willpower doesn't work, I usually exercise and clean my apartment. The point is to secure little victories here and there to get you motivated. I can definitely say that doing the dishes and pumping out some push-ups have been the catalysts for some great ideas in the past.

At the end of the day everyone is experiencing some sort of depression every once and while. At least you're doing something awesome. Most people aren't. Remember that.
Yeah, kinda. Although E-Gold's problem was force majeure, not technical (did they ever get hacked? people stole passwords all the time, but since it was double entry, it was pretty easy to reverse).

osGold, etc. were probably better parallels. But yes, this whole field has had a long series of technical, business model, governance, and government related failures.
How many of those folks would have put their time into GCC, for example, if they didn't need any money at all?
PHP was originally designed for simple, procedural bits of logic inside individual HTML pages. In that context, there's nothing wrong with the feature itself.
I wish people would quit using Linode. They have a track record of having security issues, they are not PCI compliant; and unless they replace every single last BTC, I am going to just go ahead and state they never did care about their customers.

I just can only hope the attacker spends the BTC instead of burns them: burning would do far more damage to Bitcoin than just stealing them.
Yes, he's egging the crowd on, but his comment did make me wonder what the legal ramifications of someone stealing bitcoins are. If one of the account holders tried to take Linode to court, do you think a US court would even acknowledge the value of a digital currency?
You mean unlike most other companies, who can be certain that their candidates are motivated by money and not love?

Seems like a strange argument to me.
To me the key point is that in relational databases you describe - declaratively - the information you want and leave it to the database to figure out to retrieve it (x); whereas in most NoSQL databases you describe how to retrieve the information.

(x) this is not the entire truth, as SQL is actually a (somewhat) unfortunate mix between the declarative relational calculus and the procedural relational algebra.
Bitcoinica's web server is hosted on rackspace (through Heroku). They would likely have been able to determine that bitcoinica's bitcoin daemon was hosted separately on linode, by watching the ip addresses broadcasting withdrawal transactions. It is likely that bitcoinica was the target in breaching linode.

If you're an introvert and charge your batteries by being alone, then find a way to do that without worrying about your day-to-day stresses. For me if I'm getting too zonked out, I end up in StarCraft II pissing myself off by playing with newbs - but it's different enough that it gets my mind off of work.

If you're an extrovert and charge your battery by interacting with others, make sure you do enough of that by going out to events, networking, listening to other founders' stories. Personally I'm a little of both and I find that when I'm out meeting with other startups and listening to their issues, throwing out ideas to help them makes me happier and charges my battery. In a way, it's my version of charity work but getting inspired by solving different problems for others work for me.

As a founder of a few startups myself, I do go through similar cycles where I'd work myself to death for about 3 months and then have 3 months of absolute laziness/depression where I want to do nothing but space out. I'm okay with it cause I know if something motivates me, I usually snap out of my funk. You mentioned you've been in this cycle for awhile, maybe try thinking of something completely different, something inspiring, or maybe go see someone about it.

Good luck!
Yes, that's the driver I'm using. But my question was related to the fact that Google seems to have made (see source) a partial mysql driver, so I was wondering if they were planning to make it database/sql compatible.

I spun up 12.04 desktop on physical hardware with discreet nvidia graphic card ( I have a lot of experience with server ) and I must say I was hugely impressed by the usability of the system.

Without thinking about it I was clearly able to get work done, navigate the system, access network shares.

If only I could have illustrator, Photoshop and the other graphics apps I use daily I expect I would be more than happy.

Would totally recommend checking 12.04 out.
Conversely, though, lots of pieces of data can end up not adding a lot of information, because a lot of data is correlated. Consider the following three facts:

1. A person is Chinese (~2 bits of information)

2. A person lives in Asia (<1 bit of information)

3. A person lives in the USA (4 or 5 bits of information)

Now consider combinations of these facts. 1&2 together probably doesn't give you much more than two bits of information still. Conversely, though, 1&3 together give you 10 or 11 bits of information - significantly more than the information of those facts added together. This is because facts 1&2 have a strong positive correlation, and facts 1&3 have a strong negative correlation.
I don't know about bug-fixes but for me 4.5.3 (probably also 4.4 but I can't say for sure) had some regressions on athlon-xp.
On a machine that passes memtest over night and almost never gives me any problems with code compiled with 3.6 and 4.1 - 4.5.3 segfaults randomly when building itself on the second stage (after bootstraping).

4.3 seems to generate stable code and I'll stick to it for a while.

I started noticing problems when recent 32bit images from ubuntu and gentoo freezed the PC.

Liability might be unlimited, but most of the insurance products for other categories cap it based on premium. So that may not be much of a problem. I agree with the difficulty of modelling the events though... they need more data for any kind of modelling.. I'm guessing amazon already has some kind of insurance to cover its risks under AWS service agreement..
I know socialist sentiments aren't very popular on Hacker News, but some form of wealth redistribution is going to be _necessary_ in a couple of years if the richest continue getting richer (which they will, due to technological advancement) and automation becomes so efficient that most simple jobs disappear. A considerable part of the population will simply be unable to do meaningful work in the private sector. The Luddite argument will eventually be dead, at least for certain groups in society. So the choice is letting them starve, or subsidize them somehow.

How this "wealth redistribution" should happen is an entirely different question, but a flat tax rate including on capital (very hard to implement in practice) or simply flat taxation of everyone above a certain, very high net worth are possibilities.

Note that certain countries already have de facto subsidy systems for low-income/unemployable groups already, e.g. Norway.
Some thoughts:

Mood stabilizers are not an appropriate first(SSRI), second(tricyclic), or even third line(MAOI) treatment for depression.

Your idea that you need to be sad to be happy is common among people who suffer from depression. But being depressed isn't 'part of the roller coaster'. You most certainly can have the highs without the lows...except if you're on mood stabilizers which work wonders at taking away both.

What's most concerning to me is that you credit your depression with so much of your accomplishments and motivation. There is absolutely no honor in suffering. That's just you buying in to a narrative. I feel happy when I've accomplished something. Other days I feel moderately happy and driven to accomplish something. No depression necessary.

And yes, I suffered from severe depression for years but would prefer not to discuss it publicly ;).
Much larger thefts than this in $USD happen pretty frequently, you just don't hear about them that much. I don't know how the government could guarantee any credibility (Edit: beyond already existing measures, this was theft so if the thief is caught there is punishment available and if Linode was negligent they might also be liable)--the stability is inherent in the network. All the BTC thefts have been to improper security measures taken by the owner(s) and in some cases a misplaced trust in the security of others. Anyone or group with over 1000 BTC in one place should be taking way more security precautions than these guys.
