SEEKING WORK

Freelance developer based in the Brighton in the UK. I can travel to London but I usually prefer to work remotely as I have a very nice desk in a co-working place 5 minutes from my house :)

Languages are mainly Python and JavaScript (client and server side) but happy with lots of others when they are needed (I love a bit of Haskell, although rarely get paid to use it!). Experience with Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS, SciPy, OpenCV.

One of the things I enjoy doing is RESTful API design, here's a talk I gave to a local JavaScript talk about that recently (scroll down for the slides): http://asyncjs.com/hypermedia/

It would be better if, instead of 5 threads, you made a single one and listed the different positions.
Good? Because that seems absurd.
I like what Steve Jobs said about Cars/Trucks in this instance. However I can't help but feel most of the "mobile" devices we have seen thus far have been closer to motorcycles (this analogy works especially well if dumbphones are pedal bikes).

The closest I have seen to a "desktop killer" is the MS surface devices, but I have a feeling that people will still refer to these as "PCs".
Cambridge, UK

Web developer at http://AllYearbooks.co.uk

We're looking for one or two talented full-stack developers to help us build our Node.js single-page collaborative, real-time web-app for creating real, hard-copy printed yearbooks.

You'll be using: Node.js, CoffeeScript, HTML5 canvas, Backbone.js, jQuery, Ubuntu servers, Redis, PostgreSQL etc.

More at: http://allyearbooks.co.uk/jobs/dev (including a fun little code test!)
What about freenet?

The problem with anonymous publishing in a world where you have an authoritative server and DNS is clear. Some server is serving a file. And that server's operator apparently wants to know things.

What about uploading static content to various sites under free accounts?

The only difficulty is having DYNAMIC server generated content, i.e. executing programs to handle a request.
New York / London - Bloomberg

http://www.bloomberg.com/ux

There are many jobs open at Bloomberg, but I'm particularly looking for intelligent software engineers and UX professionals to work under the CTO and Infrastructure team in R&D. We do a huge variety of things and we like to run our teams with a startup results-driven feel.

We are primary consumers of billions of incoming pieces of data daily and redistribute it to over 180 countries on one of the largest private networks in the world, producing software which provides discovery, analytics, visualization and much more.

Contact me if you want to discuss at andrew@ishiboo.com.

If you want to chat in person, we are a sustaining sponsor of NYTM and are at all the meetups. I'll be at GothamJS and dotJS later this year. Also, Matt Turck @ Bloomberg Ventures runs the NY Data Business Meetup at our offices every month and I'm almost always there.
Inkling, San Francisco, CA

Inkling is a publishing startup. We are the future of books and publishing; our platform is so good that completely leaves ebooks in the dust, and even most major publishing houses are invested in us.

We are hiring engineers of all kinds, from the JavaScript/Python/Scala/iOS/sysadmin to interns. We are Sequoia-backed and just recently secured another round of $17 million funding.

The team is lean and flat. Located in the downtown SF right by the subway, TV-celebrity chef in house, the best gym in town, plus generous salary and options.

Please contact annemarie@inkling.com directly if you are interested.
I see what you are getting at, but you have got to remember that a company is a not a programmed, autonomous and unmanned robot which is doomed to follow the rules set by the market and the system, it is managed by real people who (I sincerely hope) have the ability to reason and to see the difference between right and wrong.
Anyways, the decision to use the patent law this way was wrong on many levels. I'm sure Apple knew exactly what it was doing, so there's no need to blame the system, or the market.
Interesting points. My argument was that geography plays as massive a role in geopolitics today as as ever - we just don't see it because it doesn't vary as much in our lifetimes as the more minor components, e.g. cultural factors. Sort of like how stock analysts tend to over-attribute company management for effects of macroeconomic forces.

Given the diversity in geographies and a bounded "sweet spot" for productivity (by presently known means) I would argue that a global event would not have uniform effects on all nations. For example, global warming would devastate the Chinese and Indian breadbaskets while opening up Siberia and Greenland to agriculture.

My usage of a weapon, which being technology would be replicated by others over time, was flawed. Oops =P.

Regarding Israel, I don't think the conclusion from geopolitics is that geography is a limiting factor in a nation's potential. Israel has exploited its human capital expertly. That said, given its present borders it will tend to be a client state of an outside power; its geopolitical situation is highly leveraged in that the loss of American military and economic backing would spell existential chaos for it. Singapore, Taiwan, Luxembourg, et al do very well by this model. But their sovereignty is, at the end of the day, subordinated to an outsider's. Further, not everyone in the world can follow this strategy (it would be too easy for one to start shooting and upset the illusion of stability).
Didn't Apple start suing Android OEMs first? If I remember correctly, there was a mutual destruction pact before then.
I don't know why the author dismisses Bitcoin as an anonymous payment mechanism. He says he doesn't "trust the blockchain to provide anonymity" but doesn't elaborate as to why.
Digital Bill of Rights 1st Draft
The fact that a country as a whole is relatively non corrupt doesn't say anything about specific people and their corruptibility.

Also, the U.S.A. is number 24 of around 180 countries on the Corruption Perceptions Index and appears below countries such as Bahamas, Chile or Qatar.

In fairness, the video seems to be comparing exactly this -- the sports questions seem to show that he's using iOS 6.

Speed and voice quality are irrelevant to me, but I do really like what he was able to do with the image search on android. It wasn't clear if the android version integrates with wolfram alpha, or any of siri's other sources.

Prior Knowledge (SF), Full Time, Distributed Systems Developers and Machine Learning Experts

P(K) is a small team in downtown San Francisco pushing the frontiers of probabilistic machine learning to the masses. Our first product is Veritable, a predictive database. We like to think of it as a database for things you don't (yet) know.

We're passionate about discovering the hidden causes behind data, and are currently split pretty evenly between machine learning experts, scalable systems engineers, and people used to working with horribly messy, complex, and sparse data. We're backed by Peter Thiel's grou, Founders Fund, who share our commitment to long-term technical innovation.

http://priorknowledge.com/join-us describes a bit more about what we're looking for, and you can always e-mail me (jonas@priorknowledge.com) for more info! Or swing by our offices at the intersection of 3rd and Market to meet the team.
yes, I don't know about code but it's available in the form of an article that is detailed enough to implement it in any system.

SEEKING WORK

Freelance project manager based in Brighton in the UK. I have
previously been head of ICT at a large local authority, but have worked in private sector as well, and I've downsized a
little recently to follow some other interests. Lots of experience
managing small and large teams of developers and other IT types.

Get in touch at klorathy@gmail.com
Amsterdam, The Netherlands. H1B[1]

Booking.com is always on the lookout for good developers, DBA's and sysadmins on-site in the center of Amsterdam. I'm a developer there currently working on search and relocated over there about a year and a half ago, and have been very happy with it.

We have people from all over the world relocating to work with us and are very well set up to handle relocation and visa issues, most of the people working in IT are expats so we've got a lot of experience with bringing people in.

It's a rapidly growing company that represents the biggest chunk of the Priceline (PCLN) group of companies where problems that look relatively mundane on paper become much more interesting due to the scale and growth levels we're operating at.

We use Perl for almost everything with a MySQL backend and Git for development. We get our changes out really fast, it's rare for your code not to be on our live systems within hours of you pushing it. We're also very open to open sourcing code that doesn't contain any business logic, I've personally been involved in open sourcing a few of our internal tools, including https://github.com/git-deploy and a few CPAN modules.

We have a relatively flat hierarchy with minimum levels of bureaucracy since we're very data driven and have a clear goal: helping our customers. Everything we do is aimed at solving problems for our customers, if it doesn't help our customers we're not interested in doing it.
You don't have to know Perl in advance to be a developer there. We've hired people who've done C, Java etc. before. The sort of people we'd like to hire are good technically, excellent at communication, and can acquire a good sense of how they fit into the big picture.

I'd be happy to answer any questions at avarab@gmail.com and/or forward your resume, I've posted in a similar thread here a couple of times before and have already helped get one person hired, many others have had or are having interviews, and I've fielded a bunch of questions from would-be applicants. http://booking.com/jobs also has some good information.

1. Well, not H1B, but we'll take care of the Dutch equivalent.
Good idea.. sorry about that.
Let's talk about that in context.

Motorola contributed some patents to a mobile telecom standard; they made a commitment to license these standard essential patents in Fair, Reasonable And Non-Discriminatory terms to everyone who wants to build a "portable hand-held telephone device".

Motorola wants 2.25% of the sale price of each Apple device in which the standard is used.

Now, if each patent contributor to the standard demands the same rate as Motorola, the outgo will be above 100%.

Essentially, only those who have contributed to the patent pool can build a mobile phone. No one else can enter the market. How is that Fair, Reasonable or Non-Discriminatory?

That is why there is talk about EU & FTC in US investigating Google/Motorola for anti-competitive behavior.

Also, there is another interesting point here - all these patents are implemented in the baseband chip built by Qualcomm and used by Apple in its devices. Qualcomm has already paid the royalty for using Google/Motorola's patents. Now Motorola wants royalty from Apple also, for the same patents. Double-dipping anyone?

> It's punishment (in the game theoretical sense) for Samsung's institutional attitude.

That is not how the law works. That shouldn't be the way any law works!
If the tablet is really $200, it will be a huge hit here. Not in the lower class, but in the middle and upper class, but it wont be that price (about 10k inr) a 10 thousand tablet like the nexus will be more popular than anything else. But the target market for nexus and akash will be very different here.
On the Kindle best-seller list (http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store-eBooks/zgbs/...) the Hunger Games books are currently at #10, #12, and #13, but they've been in the top 100 consistently for over two years (674 to 775 days, depending on the book), so I wouldn't be surprised if they're even higher on the all-time sales list.
Sure, the human body can develop antibodies against literally anything, living or not. But antibody production is not instantaneous and can have a lag time of 7 to 10 days, which should be sufficient time for the phages to do their work. Also, since phages do not enter human cells, you won't get the typical response from APC's or Helper T-Cells, which will lead to even more sluggish antibody response.

Bottom line: none of the research done on phage therapy has indicated that this is a blocker.

So far, the main blockers to the development of phage therapy are: the FDA doesn't know how to approve them, companies don't know how to patent them, and people freak out when a doctor says: "Now I'm going to give you a virus..."
I get what you're saying and I'm on board but the way you put it left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. It came across just a little bit like you haven't considered that you can just stop reading when you come across bad writing. I'm a poster child for poorly thought out blog posts. Luckily, no one reads them. That's the thing I've learned about blogging. You suck at it for a long time and with practice you get better and then people can stand to read your writing.

I downvoted because you presented opinion as fact with nothing to support the claims.
You don't even need to be in the woods to get to this zen like state he describes when running. I love trail running out in the wilderness, but I find plenty of solitude and peace running in more industrial areas of cities in the early morning hours.
Listening to music when running is, for me, counterproductive. The rhythm of the music != to the rhythm I maintain with my breathing. My favorite city runs are on winter mornings when there's a light snow on the ground. It dampens all the noise and everything is quieter.
New York, NY - Software Engineer - Fulltime

Canvas Networks (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future. Our stack in Python/Django/MySQL/Redis/a whole-lot-of JS/EC2 but we're generalists and looking for the same, so it doesn't matter what specific tools you've used before.

The job title says "Software Engineer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer". Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics.

Free lunch, flexible hours, one of the biggest arcades in Manhattan (3 cabinets!), competitive salary and benefits, take-what-you-want vacation.

This great but it's nearly entirely dependent on the network connection otherwise they're both useless.

I supposedly have an HSPA+ 21Mbps connection yet only get 1Mbps/.03Kbps maybe 5Mbps/950Kbps Kbps on a good day and latency is 100ms or more, Bell Mobility in Canada. I'll never get 21Mbps but less than 25% at best?

Google and Apple can make fancy tech but it's ruined by poor networks.
It would be dependent upon culture, and the point at which it considers a sexual practise to no longer be 'normal'.

Sex before marriage, or masturbation, could be perverted in some cultures, but completely normal in others.

I wouldn't personally classify reading an erotic novel (be it a Mills & Boon novel, or 50 Shades of Grey) as particularly perverse. That so many people seem to enjoy these suggests to me they're fairly normal.
Hey Royce -

Do you know anything about the tax implications of the $40k? I assume you pay taxes on it down in Chile, but does it count as earned income in your home country (specifically the US if you happen to be from here)?
In China coffee shop wifi requires citizen ID to use. At least in Beijing.

Yes fuck Chinese government, but 5 years later western governments will follow this way
> I don't know why the author dismisses Bitcoin as an anonymous payment mechanism.

As he said: "No bitcoin service accepts any anonymous funding source; most only accept bank transfers." The problem here isn't bitcoin per se, but the initial trading of bitcoin for USD.

Every bitcoin trade can be traced through the blockchain. So if he does use his true identity to buy bitcoins, they will be able find the seller. And you never know how easily the seller will reveal your identity…
>global warming would devastate the Chinese and Indian breadbaskets while opening up Siberia and Greenland to agriculture.

There's a great deal of land in the Far North, but I think most of its topsoil has been scraped off by glaciers.

A coffee shop somewhere in africa would be ideal,
I reckon the Raspberry Pi is much more suitable than the tablet in the applications that he pointed out (C, C++).

Also, anyone knows how much the Indian government has subsidized the project so that they can sell at $40?
What I believe is besides the point. And the attempt by Motorola to pre-empt is the Author's point of view, not mine.

Why could it not be the other way around? Maybe Apple was preparing in secret, fearing a law suit by Motorola. That is equally plausible.
> Hate to be a pedant, but the first people who reached North America were massacred by the ones who followed.

No, good point. That one doesn't count as pedantry on your part, but as a d'oh on my part!
Am I the only one who feels like the author missed the mark?

The blog post is supposed to be about "keeping your website up through catastrophic events" and the dominant theme seems to be "invest more heavily on Amazon." IMHO, the exact opposite needs to happen.

Sure, I understand that being in multiple regions means you supposedly have very autonomous deployments (to include Amazon's API endpoints), but nobody can prove to us that each zone or even each region are totally separate.

I'm not saying that Amazon is being dishonest about their engineering - I simply believe that by being 100% reliant on a single vendor you fail to mitigate any systemic risk that is present. That risk can be technical risk or business risk, as engineering at this level isn't strictly a technical profession.
It seems the "not paying means you're the product" is short for "not paying a for-profit company means you're the product".
I don't know about this case, but I think ITC has been suspiciously anti-Google for the past few patent cases. In almost every single instance they've ruled in favor of Apple or Microsoft, and against Google.
OK that's great to hear. Thanks elssar.

would StamStead be better?

Most of the author's problems seem to have to do with purchasing and running a VPS anonymously. But why bother? Do you really need to run your own Tor hidden service on your own VPS in order to publish anonymously? What happened to all the free blogging and pastebin services where you can sign up and/or post anonymously? All you need is Tor Browser Bundle and some extra caution. You can stay as anonymous as Tor's security allows, and no money ever changes hands.

Sure, it will be easier for the powers that be to take down something you posted on Tumblr than to take down a Tor hidden service. But that's a completely different matter from publishing anonymously in the first place.

The author also seems to think that publishing images and videos anonymously is harder than publishing ASCII text anonymously. This may be right, but not because of the reasons he cites. If you already have a medium where you can publish ASCII text anonymously, nothing stops you from publishing your media in a base64-encoded form. The real problem with publishing images and videos anonymously is that those media files often contain lots of entropy that could help identify the author, such as location information. No amount of Tor trickery will keep you anonymous unless you thoroughly scrub your media files.
Not breaking the law:
Public library, ask to use the computer while someone else is using it with the excuse for it just taking a minute. (If they have logs, its the guy's name)

Breaking the law:
Break into someone's house, use internet.
Definitely agree. I can't run (bad knees), but there's nothing better than a long, solitary ride. Even in the middle of the city when riding to work, it's easy to zone out and enjoy the solitude.
tl;dr: author is displeased with Jeffs latest PHP rant and decides that its time for an ad-hominem attack. Rare in actual substance.
