AMA Capital -- Palo Alto, CA. Full time. H1B okay.

AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the currency markets.

We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything. We
design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure,
down to the networking code that ties us in to financial markets. We
are a very small team (I am the only employee) and are looking to add
one or two engineers who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.

No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However,
you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be
able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.

An example of a project that a member of our infrastructure team could work on is a system for logging to non-volatile memory. We generate large logs that cover everything from prices to transaction data. NVDIMMs are a form of RAM that survives power loss. Hardware like this has been on the horizon for a while, but it is just now becoming available to early adopters. Writes to NVDIMMs will be nearly instantaneous and immediately durable. This project will be to develop an NVDIMM-based system that simultaneously functions as a log, an IPC mechanism, and a searchable database for analysis. Making this work will involve a number of pieces: kernel drivers, CPU cache control, lock-free synchronization, a daemon to write everything back to long-term (i.e. less expensive) storage, and more. If this works well, we plan to open-source all the pieces.

"How can you know how many people don't commit crimes because they fear prison?"

It's very difficult. We can look at the fact that the US imprisons more of its population than any other nation, and if prison is a working deterrent, this would mean that the United States is a phenomenally lawless and criminal society barely held in check by the fear of the USA's notoriously harsh judicial system. Is the USA a phenomenally lawless and criminal society?

There are studies that try to evaluate the deterrence effect of prison. Some conclude yes, some no, but the weight of evidence appears to indicates that on the whole, it's a pretty ineffective deterrent. You can google as well as I can so I won't list a bunch of google hits.

"Our culture considers those barbaric (but not prison somehow.)"

Now that is interesting. I meant a detention system that actually works; that actually is applied with the intention of turning criminals into good citizens and making a better society. I assume that you don't consider that "barbaric", so I'm guessing you thought I meant something like state-sanctioned torture or other such physical abuse, or cutting off people's hands, or public executions in the town square, and all that sort of thing. So our cultural gap is so big that the first thing you thought of to deal with detention as an ineffective deterrent wasn't an effective detention system, but harsher punishments, whereas I thought of stopping trying to use it as a deterrent and do something useful with it.
Ahem, md5 is impossible to reverse. The weakness of md5 is related to the ease with which one can find inputs that result in a specific hash, which does not apply in this case.

Amsterdam, Netherlands. Work permit and relocation assistance provided.

We want developers who like to have fun and socialize outside of work, but care about their jobs, too. We're looking for UX designers, front-end and back-end developers.

UX designer: use Photoshop, Gimp, or whatever makes your socks roll up and down and you know how to make Web and/or mobile applications work for customers. Knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and CSS also needed.

Front-end developer: you can make Web sites do exactly what you want them to do, regardless of the browser or operating system the web site is running on. Knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and CSS required.

Back-end developers: you know what it takes to power the back-end of large web sites. You understand scalability issues and can explain the difference between an inner and outer join. You know what O(log N) is and why it's important. Your programming language history isn't important because you're good enough to learn a new language if needed.

All positions: not looking for rock stars. Looking for competent technical talent who are willing to move to Europe (unless you're already here). We have many expats working here and we'll even help pay for Dutch lessons, if you want them.

We also like people who understand business because you'll be expected to make many of your own decisions without having to ask permission from management for every little thing that you do. You will have the power to get stuff done, work with a great bunch of people and be able to spend your five weeks of vacation time cruising across Europe and discovering why Amsterdam is such a beautiful city.

Hanover, Germany. Work Permit/Blue Card and Relocation Assistance Provided.

Looking for strong Perl developers for a company in Hanover, Germany. They're stable, profitable and they've been in business for years. Hanover is a beautiful, bike-friendly, mid-sized town in the north of Germany. The cost of living is low and the quality of life is high. It's a green-friendly town and hosts one of the largest Oktoberfests in the world. While we're listing "desired" skills, keep in mind that the company is happy to be flexible on most of this so long as you can convince them that you can help improve their systems:

- You have a strong Perl, testing, and refactoring background.
You'll be helping them transform legacy systems into modern ones.
- You have experience with AJAX, SOAP, REST and other Web technologies.
- You have good relational database experience, preferably
MySQL (what a surprise!)
- You understand that Object Oriented code is more than just using
Moose or blessing a reference.
- Familiarity with Linux
- You speak English. German's a plus, but not mandatory.
- You don't drool on your t-shirt.

In return:

- A competitive salary and strong job security (always profitable,
very low employee turnover)
- Top-notch equipment
- Shared offices to two or three devs -- no open plan
- Offices in downtown
- Flexible and fair working hours
- 30 days vacation!
- Get sent to conferences (if you want)

Why Hanover?

- An active local Perl Mongers group.
- Lots of asparagus!
- 500k people
- University town
- Greenest city in Germany (forest, lake, parks, rivers)
- Great transportation
- Low rent and low cost of living!

Your job will not just be to hack Perl. You'll be actively working to help modernize their systems and improve standards. You'll have a high level of responsibility. In return, you get to enjoy a friendly, beautiful city and culture. Take a two week road trip across Europe and still have a month's vacation when you get back to work.

Ties are no more pointless than collars really. The point of dressing formally in an interview is explicitly to show respect and deference in order to demonstrate that you can work with someone else and subjugate your own ego for a team goal; that's hardly a secret.
That's a much cleaner idea, thanks. I'll investigate it.
edit: Thanks, I went with this.
That't a very stranger interpretation of the license. Here is the complete license text minus the GPLv3 itself (which explicitly do not include Remote Network Interaction):

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License,
if you modify the Program, your modified version must
prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely
through a computer network (if your version supports such
interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
Source of your version by providing access to the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge,
through some standard or customary means of facilitating
copying of software.

Is it really that hard to read/interpret? It seems to me as very simple. If you use AGPL software and provide a service to users, and you have modified the software, then those users after accessing your service has a right to access the source code. If you don't modify it, or do not let users interact with the service, then you can happy ignore the (A)GPL part of the license and treat it as GPL.

I've not been following the Oculus Rift very much, other than waiting for its release and keeping an eye on which games might support it once it's released. So I don't really know much of the history or the company.

Can someone share how Reisse was involved w/ the Oculus Rift? Looking at the company's profile[1], it makes no mention of Reisse, and lists Luckey as the "Founder".

Even searching their site[2] makes no mention of Reisse, other than a recent discussion[3] about his untimely death. And those discussions seem to only refer to him as an "employee".

Is calling him "co-founder" in the title truly accurate?

Tasty. They use goat milk and real fruits-nuts.
I hesitate to add to this conversation if thats what this is. I've seen alot of comments saying that "if RMS can post his opinions then we can post ours"

Thats completely true, its also completely juvenile and unnecessary.

RMS is a controversial figure, but I dont think this debate over something as (by comparison) trivial as "What madonna requires backstage before a concert", has any productive value.

You can justify your own judgements of him based on what you perceive his value judgements of others to be all you want.

At least he's willing to be honest about who he is.

That's easy to work around - use google2, google3, etc as the keyword. A more "industrial" implementation might actually store secure hashes of past/void passwords and increment a nonce until we get a "new" one. The underlying crypto is still sound.
Yes. that's right. It's "simple". that doesn't mean it's not onerous tho'. It means that every time you put something into production you are required to do all the additional work of formalizing your changes and making sure that they're available.

This significantly blurs the distinction between things that happen inside your organisation and things that happen at the interface of your organisation and the outside world, especially if your organisation is, say, a university and the people "inside" it are your students and you make your LMS based on this code available to them.

The ?GPL software that a universities IT department is currently running is unlikely to be subject to terms such as these and it will cost a lot to put these processes in place and to maintain them. Compared to the GPL, it's quite a hard license to comply with.

A 4 hour work week style muse business that I created 5 yrs ago and has been automated ever since: http://www.HowToDJFast.com. The site sells DJ Training Videos and other training. The site has killer rankings, gets roughly 75 optins a day, has an email auto-responder sequence that sells a lot of product & affiliate offers. I spend an hour or two a month on it (if that). The site currently pulls in a little under $4k/month and there is very little overhead (high margins). Due to a lack of interest in the subject (DJing) I have put zero effort into increasing revs. With a little TLC this baby could be doing tripple what it is now as other sites in the space are doing.

Look for larger city NGOs, especially ones that are starting with new grants. The small guys probably don't have any development staff. Another route is check out the NGOs you like and see what member organizations they belong to (i.e. the child care resource & referral agencies in California usually belong to the California Child Care Resource & Referral Network, CCCRRN, and the National Association Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies, NACCRRA) through such member agencies you might find agencies that do their own development.

Don't expect cutting edge technology or being able to do free wheeling development, there is a lot of bureaucracy in NGOs, though sometimes yo get lucky. But if you do get some latitude in making development decisions make sure you pick technology that's well established (Microsoft Tools are still quite popular, though some use LAMP stack).
http://www.oneqstn.com is a simple, accountless survey web app.

Lots of room for growth and expansion but I don't have the time to put into it. A few hundred questions have been asked over the last year and it's had a couple of traffic spikes but nothing serious.

If not interested in purchasing then I am looking for someone to work with me on the marketing/traffic building side of things and would happily offer a 50:50 split on ad revenues (or some other monetization strategy). I don't have any idea how to generate traffic for it so would be happy to work with someone.

SC solves 2 problems:

1- Saving time: When you search on Google/Yahoo, it gives lots of link. You gotta click one by one or pick one based on your intuition. It takes lots of time. Now Imagine you get same search result page but this time you get a hint by your friend to read it or NOT to read it. So if a search page has 10 unknown results, it makes you to spend time on 1/10 duration.

2- Trusted result: You are already getting quality links based on recommendation of friends/professional colleagues you trust hence increase chance of viewing something that pertain more to you.
