I assume you obfuscated the email address based on the reasoning that good hackers can figure it out. I'm wondering if that's wise: good hackers also may not want to play games when it comes to just opening a channel of communication.
Optimine (St. Paul, MN) - Software Engineer -- Full Time

We use the jvm and related technology stack, but we are impressed by experience with a variety of technologies.

Optimine optimizes your paid search bidding strategy. Think of it like algorithmic trading but in the adwords market.

If a private company has the duty to maximise profits, shouldn't a sovereign state have the duty to maximise the benefits to its citizens while fulfilling its minimum international treaty obligations.

The cost of gleevec/year is $36,000. The average per capita income is $1219[1]. If patented about 99% of people who need this drug can not afford it. Why should any state keep 99% of its people away from a life saving drug, if it doesn't have a legal obligation to do so.

Property rights are a means to an end. Even if all of Asia and Africa refused to recognize Novartis patents, they would still have enough incentive to continue developing cancer drugs.

Chatham Financial :: recruiting _at_ chathamfinancial _dot_ com

Who do we want?

- We want to hire full-time people passionate about software development and testing; who care about building and maintaining top-notch infrastructure, services, and UIs.

- If you're not already well-versed with the tools we use, no worries! We hire people, not 'X years in Y language/technology'

What do we do?

- The domain happens to be the financial industry (namely mitigating Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange risk). It's a casual work environment, and we work with the advisory side of the business as our primary 'customers' (they are experts in the area of finance we serve).

- Check out http://www.chathamfinancial.com for more info on the business side of things.

How do we do it?

- Web and service development: the language we typically use is C#, but we always seek to choose the right tool for the job.

- Testing: we have a large automated test suite in BPT, and are developing an in-house services testing framework in Ruby (which will likely be open sourced)

- Other languages/technologies that we utilize are: Rabbit MQ, Node.js, AWS

- We continuously integrate using TeamCity, focus on agile and lean developement practices (scrum), and deploy all of our software to production every 2 weeks. Check out http://intruthitsnotthatsimple.wordpress.com/ for one of our Product Owner's perspectives on things

Other misc. info

- Every 3 months we have a Hack Week. It's a week to work on ideas that we wouldn't normally have time for in the 'daily grind'. These can be anything from trying out a new language or technology to refactoring existing stuff. You choose!

- Very family friendly

- Philosophy-driven, not policy-driven (let's get paid to work together and solve problems, and have fun all the while!)

There is an old adage A picture is worth a thousand words for exactly that reason. It helps people scroll less and get the message without having to read too much text.

All one needs to do is consult the artist within and choose the right image for better conversion. That's exactly the point no. 3, like you said, kudos. IMHO, images and their messaging are probably one of the spots where art and math can converge.
New York City - Appboy

We're a B2B mobile engagement and analytics platform based in NYC. In a nutshell, we build tools that allow app owners to segment, understand, and communicate with their users without having to build a sophisticated system in-house. We're currently a team of 15 (which is as laid back and enjoyable as you'd expect), and have a fun and exciting work environment.

We're looking for a broad scope software developer to help build our SDK backend and developer web dashboard. We're tackling a variety of cutting-edge problems, from efficiently delivering real-time analytics for millions of transactions to designing blazing fast, ultra-responsive web applications. We use a diverse technology stack rooted in Rails, Coffeescript and MongoDB, but we're always open to incorporating new technologies. Experience with specific technologies is not a requirement.

Mobile experience is also a plus, and we're also hiring mobile engineers (both Android and iOS).

Please email jobs [at] appboy.com with your resume / Github profile / etc. (I'm the guy that will read your email, this isn't a faceless corporate resume drop). We don't care about flowery cover letters, but mentioning that you saw this post is a plus. Look forward to hearing from you!
Except we can look at the price of computers, milk, eggs, oil, etc. etc.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands. No remote work – must be able and willing to work at our Amsterdam office.

Silk (www.silkapp.com) is looking for a DevOps and Front-end engineer: http://jobs.silkapp.com/

We're building a product that makes it easy for people to create sites with content that is easy to query, visualize and share. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring the semantic web to the masses and build an amazing company around that.

We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end. The team is still small (~11 people), so you'll be able to make a large impact. We are well-funded by top-tier VCs and located in the city center of Amsterdam.
Not really, since the success of bitcoin still relies on conversion to another currency.
Good God. I enjoy long prose (in fact, I crave long form writing), but this is interminable. The author treads, and re-treads, and re-treads, the exact same ground paragraph after paragraph, from a slightly different angle each time, making strange, unsubstantiated character attacks each time. I'm pretty sure that ground is just mud now.

If anyone has had the stomach to finish this, please let me know if there was actually a point besides "Tim O'Reilly is evil incarnate", which he established in the first two paragraphs. And then re-established in the third. And the fourth...

Don't get me wrong, I whine bitterly about the over-glorified promise of the Silicon Valley techno-drome, where raw technology is supposed to solve all of humanity's woes. I fail to see how this article addresses this, at all.

I had it done about 4-5 years ago and it was/is the single greatest personal decision I've ever made. My vision was terrible before (-8 in one eye, -10 in the other) and it has stayed at 20/20 since.

The day of, I had my wife come with me and take care of the trip home. You'll be out of it, so make sure you have assistance. I think most clinics won't even do it unless you have someone else to help you.

The surgery was relatively quick and painless. You can see better immediately, but it is still a bit blurry. You'll be out of commission for at least 2 days. No screens, reading etc. Your eyes itch like crazy but you can sleep through it. My recommendation is to grab some audiobooks to listen to as you'll get bored quickly.

My night vision was terrible for about 5-6 months after so driving at night was risky. I avoided it for about 3 months until it was at the point that I could see safely. Halos around lights will be distracting for awhile.

For pain I was prescribed Ativan. I'm not a pill-person, I typically avoid tylenol, but I thought it would be fun. It was.

As I suggested, I grabbed a bunch of audio-books, threw on the funky sunglasses they give you and sat in the park for hours laughing my ass of to John Hodgeman. I'm pretty sure passerby thought I was out of my mind.

Possibly one of the best days of my life. ;) Good luck!
I guess the whole point is that O'Reilly is rebranding propaganda as "meme-engineering" even though they are technically the same.

Top April Fools Pranks You Can Do in the Office
Patents are government granted monopolies in the same way any other property right is a government granted monopoly. Propertizing things so they can be traded in a market is a crucial aspect of what makes capitalism work.

Looking at it another why: why are patents on land, which grant people property rights over land that they did not create, somehow fundamental to capitalism, while patents on new drugs, which grant people property rights over formulas they did create, are anathema to capitalism?

Yeah it is incredibly easy to short Bitcoin by trusting an unregulated, anonymous website without exposing yourself to any counterparty risk... There just isn't any real way to short Bitcoin, because if your investment thesis is true and collapses, it will be very difficult to collect your winnings.
As a web developer/designer I will utilize the technology that is most successful for the end client. If no UI is what is hot; I will do it. If phone apps with big shiny buttons are what's hot; I will do it. I understand that I will have to continually learn new and evolving techniques to display or represent my content in a way that is desirable users. UI evangelism is somewhat a mute point to me.

Quantified Self Goes Postal
Airplanes and automobiles are not fundamental rights enumerated by the Constitution. The president has balked at the notion of requiring licensure (or even having to present a license) to exercise the right to vote because it is sacrosanct in the bill of rights. So what is difference between the first amendment and the second?

While I obviously understand the difference in utility between a gun, an airplane and a hammer, the gun is only lacking utility to people that do not believe in the value of a right to prevent against tyranny. Neither a hammer or a car is particularly effective in that regard, though our fundamental rights are more specifically geared for that objective, however ugly some might find them.

I am _very_ happy with Windows 8 on my tablet (Surface). Does that count?

On my PC it's ok... I uninstalled all metro-apps and installed normal software instead. I just see the start screen as a new kind of start menu. To me it looks just like Windows 7 because I don't spend any time in the new UI environment.

The exchange or Bitcoin itself? The code is open source and actively developed. Many people come over to bitcointalk asking about certain sections of the code. Many many eyes are looking at the main client source. Its highly unlikely there is a backdoor that has been missed.
I almost bought $500 worth of BTC back when they were trading for pennies. Now, who knows if they would have survived two hacks, or if I would have had the patience to hold on to them, but I sometimes wish I'd pulled the trigger.
That's fine. If they lower their price quickly back to $.99 Apple can ban them (and has stated they will ban developers engaging in blatant price manipulations). If they don't, no one will buy it, and if some poor schmuck does he will get a refund on an accidental purchase.
The security problems of Flash and Java are not comparable to those of Rails. They're different in magnitude, different in number, and different in circumstance and origin.

I strongly agree with 'knowtheory that gloating about security vulnerabilities is a bad habit. But this Rails/Java comparison is even worse. Nobody personalizes Java insecurity. The Java applet plugin is a mess, responsible for a huge number of compromised desktops, but nobody I know would assume that a developer who worked in Java or on the JVM would be security-illiterate. That's not true of the Rails drama, which is really an opportunity for people to piss on DHH and his personality cult, as you can see in this subthread with 'static_typed's comment.
A responsive designer in this context is somebody who designs webpages to scale to screen width. So the same codebase services smartphones and 1900x1200 browser windows.

The thing that is puzzling to me is the whole thing about people scrolling & responsive design. How do you design something to avoid scrolling when your layout is designed to accommodate any screen size? It seems like those concepts are in conflict.

For PHP/coffeescript/LessCSS projects, here is something that I use:

I create a Phing build file in build/build.xml. Then I map a key combination (alt+super+b) that builds the default Phing target defined in that file. I find this helpful for quickly compiling Coffeescript and Less CSS on my local machine.
