- Matching vendors to companies that are compatible in terms of budget, distance, and dietary restrictions, while ensuring variety from day to day.

- Scheduling one-off meals without heavy account manager involvement.

- Scaling our platform to keep up with our growing business.

We're cash flow positive and backed by investors like:

- Y Combinator

- SV Angel

- Justin Kan

I dont think TechCrunch is right on this one. Automation is not putting people out of work. The failure of future reward for a lifetime of effort is turning careerism on its head regardless of your career field.

Ive been a software engineer for 15 years, I have chosen to not work for almost 2 years.

I could get a job tomorrow, but I would quit in a couple months because the working conditions in software shops is pretty bad and the economic reward that looks good on paper doesn't really translate into anything I need or want.

And its not that I cant get a GOOD job. The working conditions at big company X, Y, Z are frankly terrible.
Ive been there.

I may not represent the average unemployed person (and no I dont collect unemployment) but I can see where people are coming from, and I empathize.

Economic motivation will always trump automation.

I love working with Laravel and Kohana but have also spent a decent bit of time working with CodeIgniter.

I prefer to work with PHP, MySQL, HTML/CSS, & Javascript but I have some experience with Ruby, Python.

Email is in my profile.
I wonder if this is related to the Three Strikes laws prevalent throughout the US:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-strikes_law

Sometimes these criminals have nothing to lose, over even relatively insignificant infractions that will definitely result in life sentences. Not that I'm condoning criminal behavior in any way.
Open for the wider Hacker News community to see as well though?
Because it's not that easy: Who do I charge? The one person who signs up is able to create accounts in a private environment, e.g. for his fellow students, so this one is most likely the one to charge. This person would most likely be the class representative student. But I don't think this one is willing to pay money for all his fellow students using DocMan in his private environment, so.. that's the circle. The software was initially build for being used by a whole university, but as those in Germany are mostly broke or not willing to pay money for anything or both, I also cannot charge these. You see?
The link OP has posted has nothing to do with the HN headline s/he used.

New York, NY - Fulltime

Hiring: FE Engineer & Head of Marketing/Biz-dev

iknow.io is a data-driven knowledge sharing community for curious people.
We take raw data about Movies, Music, Sports, Economics, Politics and more and make it possible for regular people to analyze and extract useful information from it. We also enable them to browse, share and discuss the fascinating insights they discover using our tools with one another.

While there are mountains of raw data out there, only scientists and programmers can currently make any real use of it. Our mission is to make that data accessible and useful to everyone.
Our team has extensive experience working with large, complex data problems and in building and nurturing online communities.

We are currently a team of 4 people, and are looking to add 2 more talented individuals to the mix soon.

1) FE Engineer: You have a great design sense and some serious engineering skills. You think the famous quote, "there are only two hard things in computer science, cache invalidation and naming things" is spot on. Whenever you're browsing the web, you're constantly noticing things that could be tweaked and improved. You're a pragmatist who's ok with ignoring IE6 users. You've built complex, popular web-based applications before. You want to join an early stage startup where you can quickly prove yourself and become the FE engineering lead.

Our FE Stack includes python (django), javascript (jquery, backbone), html and css. Deep familiarity with all of these is a big plus, but not necessarily required. Experience with mobile app development is also a plus.

2) Head of Marketing & Business Development: You're a natural born deal maker. When you throw a party, too many people show up. You know how to build, execute and analyze the effectiveness of a marketing campaign. Bloggers and reporters know you, and love you. You believe product design and marketing are one and the same. You're ready to join an extremely talented product & engineering team and show them that everything they thought they knew about how to really promote and grow a new site from the ground-up is wrong.

If you fit the bill for either of these positions, and you think what we're working on sounds intriguing, then we'd love to hear from you at jobs@iknow.io. Thanks!
Don't see how the linked protest pics match the title. Also facebook and twitter don't seem to be blocked.
Ringio - Full Time, Near Courthouse Metro, VA / Washington, DC

keywords: go, growing pains, grails, node.js, ejabberd, erlang, realtime

Ringio(http://ringio.com) provides internet phone service to small businesses to improve the quality of their phone interactions. We have some great ideas for owning this domain and are looking for a few great software engineers to help take our product to the next level. If you're interested (or know someone who is), read more and email srijak AT ringio.com[1]. If you are interested in Go or node.js you should definitely get in touch.

Major areas of development focus:

- Scaling: We are growing at a rate where our current stack and architecture need
to be rethought. So, there is a lot of interesting work to be done.

- Modern HTML Applications: We’re very excited about JavaScript frameworks that
have grown in popularity (like Angular.js, D3). We’re interested in
using web technologies for our mobile and desktop applications, so if
you’re experienced with (or just interested in) JavaScript,
CoffeeScript, SCSS, WebSockets, or BOSH, there’s a lot of research
and development to be done.

- Voice Technology: All calls using Ringio run through our voice systems to enable
things like on-hold music, call screening, and transfers.
We have a lot of new voice functionality that we’d like to build,
as well as technology we’d like to integrate. This is fairly unique to
our industry and involves some interesting timing, reliability,
concurrency, and state management problems.

- API Development: Integration with CRM systems and reselling partners requires APIs
for large pieces of our platform. We need help expanding our APIs,
making sure they’re usable and secure, and testing that they’re working
correctly.

We’re Looking For People Who Are:

- Smart software developers

- Familiar with object oriented programming. We use Grails and Java for our major
systems but are moving towards Go, Node.js for our service layer. We don't require
you know any of these languages, but expertise in *a* language is desired.
If you are interested in Go or node.js you should definitely get in touch.

- Familiar with Unix/Linux command-line systems. Logging into a Linux server to count
the number of ERROR lines in a log file grouped by hour wouldn’t be difficult
for you.

- Excited about joining a startup and wearing many hats.

- Authorized to work in the US

- Able to work from our Courthouse Metro office (flexibility to work from home
sometimes, but most time will be at the office)

If you're interested, email srijak AT ringio.com[1].

[1] Email should have your resume attached, have the string "from hackernews" somewhere in the subject line, and tell us why you think Ringio should hire you :)
I built http://remindeat.com a couple of months ago as an experiment with my girlfriend and seems like people really liked it. I might still build a mobile app for it. I also recently built http://feedleap.com which really launched off by itself with Kippt's popularity.
You don't have to be registered where you actually live all the time. Most homeless register at one of the homeless shelters, where there is usually someone who handles letters. Homeless do exist, sadly.

Thats the only thing you need is place where official communication with you can happen. In practice, that means that there is some way to deliver letters for you.

Houses without address are pretty hard to find in germany. Building enforcement is very strict and every piece of land is owned and usually has an address before a house is built.
SEEKING WORK – Remote or Europe

I'm currently looking for work as full stack Python/Django developer. I have successfully completed jobs from HN before.

I also have experience with Node.js, Tornado, Pyramid, C++ (OpenGL and Qt) and Java. For my personal projects I use linux, nginx, postgresql, memcached, mercurial, jQuery (with UI and mobile) and twitter bootstrap, but I'm also familiar with apache, mysql, mongodb, hbase, git, backbone.js and many other.

I've started my own consulting company last year and I've been working on contracts from HN or oDesk since then:

I ditched full screen a long time ago. My browser window is portrait shaped; most of my editor windows are approximately square. I don't maximize anything except movies and games. I cascade windows with the bottom left corner acting as a selection surface - cascade means these corners are never occluded. I arrange my terminals on the other screen in a grid with gaps, so I can click through to my secondary testing browser.
People often forget that armies have an awful lot of soldiers. Those soldiers have friends and families. They kinda represent a hell of a lot of the population. That can have quite some effect. Not always, but often enough. Commanders do have to have at least an eye on what the rank and file want and are prepared to do, or they risk being turned on.
SEEKING FREELANCER - remote

Experienced WebGL/OpenGL developer wanted for open source mapping project

The OpenLayers 3 open source web mapping project [1] is looking for experience WebGL developer for a short term contract to implement key features and to ensure that the project follows WebGL best practices.

Your responsibilities:
- implement the core renderer of styled 2D geospatial vector data (e.g. to render KML [2] and SLD [3]) in WebGL (JavaScript & GLSL)
- contribute to architecture design decisions
- ensure that the project follows WebGL best practices

Contract:
- duration: initially 2-3 months part time, starting as soon as possible
- location: remote, but availability during European working hours is desirable

Your profile:
- must: experienced WebGL or OpenGL developer
- strongly desired: strong JavaScript skills, but skill in similar languages is OK
- bonus: experience working with geospatial data

To apply, and for more information:
- contact tom.payne@camptocamp.com
- include a link to your GitHub profile, or a CV and an example of your code if you do not have a GitHub profile

More information about the project and the position:
OpenLayers 3 is the next generation of open source mapping library. It’s equivalent to the JavaScript client part of Google Maps, but supports a much wider range of geospatial data sources and different map projections. The project includes three back-end renderers: WebGL (for advanced functionality), Canvas (when WebGL is not available) and DOM (for very old browsers). WebGL offers many exciting possibilities for the visualization of geospatial data, notably client-side rendering of large quantities of data, and richer interaction and analysis. For this position, you will be writing WebGL code (JavaScript & GLSL) for 2D rendering of styled geospatial vector data. In the near future we plan to add 3D terrain support, and integration with Cesium [4] for virtual globe support is ongoing.

The Real Truth About the STEM Shortage
Unskilled labour will go (first), but there will be higher demands for developers, innovators, researchers, and a push to make the tools they use more efficient.

I only hope the government create a free and continuous education system for those who are out of work, so that they may develop their minds. I hope education in this new world becomes cultural.
http://isitnormal.com - Active community. > 1M visitors a month. A bit of recurring revenue from premium subscriptions and from ads. Lots of untapped potential here. I just don't have the time to give it the attention it deserves anymore. Custom python/django code, running very efficiently on AWS. Email me if you're interested in buying. Thanks.
I once believed this was a danger, but have come to realize it doesn't need to be. As a thought experiment, all it takes is one infinitely scalable "job" to make the proposed jobless dystopia implausible. And it exists. Entrepreneurship. There is no limit to to the number of new companies that can be created. Some of them will even employ a few non-entrepreneurs.

As for societal tectonic shifts needed, we just need a safety net to make it safer to fail, and easier to try. Things like socialized healthcare, simplified accounting rules for small businesses, annual instead of quarterly filing requirments for small business, no corporate minimum tax (I'm looking at you massachusetts) can help make this work.
When I did research on this a year or two ago the GCC folks told me that GCC is highly coupled to libstdc++ and that it is not really interchangeable. I am not sure if this has changed more recently.

Clang definitely lets you easily switch between libstdc++ and libc++.

The overclock on the 4770K is crap if it can be pushed only to 4.4 on air. Interesting if the 4670K will have more headroom. And review on the integrated graphics. Why bother? It will be good enough for anything non gaming related and crap for everything gaming related just like the previous 2 generations.

A highly engineered network of lights, signs, warnings, and all other sorts of traffic guidance actually makes pedestrian and vehicle travel less safe. It's a psychological phenomenon - discussed here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.12/traffic.html - where the actors stop using situational awareness and total rely on external devices to do their decision making. Safety takes a back seat to obeying the law. Upon removing most of the signage and guidance do humans become more situationally aware, cautious, and more personally responsible for their safety. Believe it or not, the car driving down the sidewalk ultimately makes everyone safer.
I've spent few weeks without talking to anyone. I had to go out shopping every two weeks or so but I live in country where even 'hello' at the checkout is optional.

I kinda forgot a bit how to talk but apart from that it was pure bliss. I had lots of games and books though.
