SEEKING WORK - Remote (or Stockholm, Sweden)

Last month I helped Sweden's tax agency with their Single-Sign-On implementation. Now I want to help you with your development needs.

My main expertise is back-end systems in object oriented languages such as Java/C++/C# with a special focus on security critical systems. I consider myself a problem solver, not a code monkey and do not generally care what framework or environment I move in, since I have easily been able to pick up the information needed to get up to speed and be productive as in my previous assignments. I use to keep myself occupied with numerous sideprojects mainly for fun, helping the community or just learning a new technology.

"He is a self made man (way more so than romney!)"

Most every con artist is.

"he has cycled thru the hero's journey"

Now, I think he's gotten a raw, horrid deal from how his most recent case has been approached, certainly. The most he has in common with "the hero's journey" is that his persona is based entirely on myth and self-propagated legend. His claims of personal genius are for the most part fluff and lies, pushed to credulous journalists. Heck, he couldn't even win Quake and Call of Duty bouts without being caught using aimbots and other chicanery.

I may be reading too far into this and his story is more interesting than the man himself, which I agree.

Uh, they are not being paid because the US government decided to dismantle his business, under authority from laws from (probably) the "prohibibiton", "war on drugs" or "war on terror" eras, all of which humanity could have done without.

And they have to keep the systems running because apparently the government can't even provide secure storage of what they claim as evidence.

I got this same behavior on Windows 8 using Chrome 22.0.1229.94 and IE 10.
Wasted over 2 mins re-sizing and nothing happened. There has to be a better way.
Maps could show ads, then they make a profit from you!
This only works when resizing the window? Would an ever-increasing div work? If you floated it right the size would always increase on the left, mimicking the drag and resize action that the user is doing.

That said, I get that you're pushing the limits as it is here and you've likely already considered this as an option.
A few points:

You're not charging nearly enough. If you're good enough to build a startup's MVP there's no reason for you to charge less than $80-100/hr. It doesn't matter where you live, either; code written in New York City works the same way as code written in Omaha.

I'm going to second the general consensus and say that no, you shouldn't, unless you're getting something else out of it with a potential upside above your current rate. If you're going to risk getting paid nothing more than a fraction of your already low rate, the upside needs to compensate for that.

Personally, I don't think you should take equity. Too many startups fail and even for successful startups equity generally means squat unless you're raising a ton and can take some off the table, or you're profitable and can get a disbursement.

If I were in your position, I'd agree to the $2k flat rate, capped at n hours (100?). If it goes over, $20/hr thereafter. Ask for a royalty off the top of every subscription/widget/sale, something like the lesser/greater of $x or y% depending on their model. Instead of someone skimming profits that will most likely never materialize, you're a cost of doing business before they become profitable.

Asking for equity guarantees you a slice of what will most likely be nothing. Asking for a royalty gets you a small sum with every sale. And you've still got the $2k.

Went to U of C ... Interviewed prospective students ... all that.

And, frankly: this essay knocks it out of the park. My essay (which, I'm convinced, got me into the school) was similarly off the wall.

Remember that the point of a response like this ... in addition to being well-reasoned, thought-out, and written ... is to leave a unique impression in the reader's mind ... one where, after they've read a gazillion apps that day, makes them say "admit the waldo programming kid!"

Not to mention that the original Macintosh GUI was a blatant copy of Xerox PARC, created after Jobs and a team of developers visited the PARC research lab.

I don't blame them for this because I simply don't believe any design patents are legitimate, but the hypocrisy is astounding.
GoCardless (YC S11); London; Ruby devs, Front-end devs

GoCardless is a London-based payments company that makes it simply for merchants to collect money from their customers by linking bank accounts directly to our systems. As a result, there are no credit card networks involved in transactions - payments become much cheaper and more flexible.
We're a small but very technically-focussed company - even our sales/biz-dev guys write ruby, python & php to a reasonable standard - and we try to find tech-driven solutions to problems whenever possible. Developers are core to the company's success, so we're working very hard on recruiting the best people out there. The working environment is pretty flexible - while we work hard, we don't really have fixed hours and people are encouraged to work from home if it helps their productivity.

We're solving some really challenging technical problems across the whole stack, including deep integration with legacy banking systems, which brings its own set of challenges.

We're backed by Y Combinator, Accel Partners & Passion Capital, and we pay competitive salaries + stock.

We're looking for a Ruby developer who can work in our office in central London - for a full job spec, please see https://gocardless.com/jobs

I have three projects waiting to go, and many more in the pipeline. These aren't your regular mom and pop websites, but high-impact, high-tech web applications, which require next-generation immersive interfaces, for desktop, tablet, and mobile.

I hope to be incorporating soon, and if all goes well, I'd be happy to have you on board. If you're interested, send me a message! abrichr at gmail dot com

Can you give an example of the police brutality cases you had in mind? I'd be interested to ready more about the social dynamic with the judge, if you can point me in the right direction.
With the exception of a few small/young divisions (e.g. early LucasArts), LucasFilm hasn't seemed like a place "where artistic creativity often trumped profits" for decades. Even Return of the Jedi compromised its script to include more characters for merchandising, and the prequel films were far worse.
Komodo's a great IDE. PTVS also has a free edition that does everything minus profiling.
The courts don't work like this, largely because it's a waste of the court's time to figure out every single way some slimy bastard could try and weasel out of their rulings. This is pretty clear-cut too - the court ordered Apple to post a notice saying that Samsung's products had been found not to infringe, and Apple decided to instead post one that argued the court had got it wrong and Samsung were a bunch of evil copycats, which also misrepresented court rulings in other juristictions to make them seem more favourable to Apple in the process.
Doesn't "Predator" suggest "armed"? Not that surveillance shouldn't be kept within very strict limits.
iPads don't have cursors.
It's not a claim but an educated guess - here's why:

Commercial traffic beacons are extremely easy for hobbyists to listen in on and decode - and that's going to annoy cops because people are going to know when they are being watched, just like a weather-alert radio. There's one super easy way for them to "fix" that little problem, because they know they are untouchable.

I'd guess future generations of top-shelf radar detectors might have traffic beacon decoders in them and then use a wifi network to your cellphone to download/share the IDs.

Yeh, can use resizeTo but only when you have a separate window.

Not sure if an increasing div would work. Could potentially do it as an iframe, but not sure how nicely that'd work, would have to try it out.

Think I'll release it as a separate full animation at some point - will write up how it's all put together when I do.

Swift Software - Frederick, MD (Near DC) - Software Engineers for Product Development and Professional Services
Are you tired of commuting to DC or Northern Virginia? Swift Software is a growing product-centered technology company seeking talented developers to join our development and proserv teams in Frederick, MD. Our flagship product is JobTraQ, a task management and workflow system that offers vastly more flexibility and power than any other product in our market segment, and is significantly less expensive and easier to configure than big "BPM" suites like MetaStorm and Lombardi. These advantages are allowing us to disrupt both markets.

Product developers will create new features in JobTraQ and enhance existing functionality. You’ll help us build advanced visual design and administration tools, augment the product’s business intelligence capabilities, improve performance and scalability, and use customer feedback to enhance all parts of the system.

Proserv developers will work with our mid-market and enterprise customers and our business analysts to design and implement software solutions that build on JobTraQ's capabilities. Our implementation and customization projects are usually one week to two months long, so you’ll enjoy a wide range of work on interesting problems for clients in many regions and industries. Recent projects have included a touchscreen system for warehouse tracking, integration with accounting systems, complex custom finance and billing reports, and automatic data synchronization.

Both teams have an enjoyable and collaborative culture in a creative environment. We interact positively and openly and emphasize learning and professional development. These attributes have enabled us to produce an industry-leading product with a globally recognizable and satisfied client base. Our environment is relaxed and fun, we play everything from Total Annihilation to Alien Swarm at our game nights, and we equip everyone with new quad-core Thinkpads with SSDs and dual monitors. Our policies and benefits are family-friendly, with generous vacation time, good health insurance options, and flexible work schedules.

For more information about these positions, see the links below. If you are interested in either one, email your resume to resumes@swiftsoftware.com.

Express is not extensible, so no. This is a business decision not a technical issue. I personally disagree with it, but then again I don't make these decisions.
> "How do we address this issue?"

The way people have already done so in touch software to date?

You program 'un-pinch to zoom' to zoom the desired elements allowing increasing levels of accuracy as needed. And in the cases that you need 'pixel perfect' accuracy [1] you simply include "bump" UI controls or expose explicit pixel coordinates that can themselves be altered to affect the desired movement of the layer or selection or what-have-you (something even keyboard/mouse UI usually offers).

Precision is a largely solved issue in touch software. The real problem that will keep mice around in a largely-touch-driven world, is the simple ergonomics of spending eight hours at a desk. (i.e. Gorilla-arm.) [2]

[1] 'Pixel perfect' is a concept that makes increasingly less sense as displays reach and exceed 300dpi. Pretty soon we'll all be dealing with vectors and things will be better for it. 'Pixel perfect' accuracy is of mere transitory usefulness until then.

[2] Barring the development of a drafting-table-style variant of the original surface and either some sort of flawless arm/palm/accidental-touch rejection or a switch from 'any' touch to 'explicit-object' touch.

e.g. the desk ignores all contacts except from a pre-ordained 'pen', 'thimble' or 'glove'.

Yes, exactly. What often happens to me now is 1) I do something on my tablet...an email comes in, I start to respond, then I get in a little deeper and need to research something for a proper response....then 2) I reach for my laptop to finish off the email, likely involving the task of referencing other documents/web pages, to compose the intelligent reply. Better multi-tasking and quick access to a keyboard on a device improves this common use case scenario.

Also, when I travel, I have to take both a laptop and a tablet. As tablets become a little richer in functionality, I could see less of the need to take both with me.
