Administrate (http://www.getadministrate.com/) Edinburgh, Scotland. Full Time. We build online software for training companies that helps them run their entire operation.

---------

We're looking for a full time developer who can start on our support team dealing with bugs and smaller dev projects for the first 12 months, then move on to other things (if desired). We have fantastic offices at the Edinburgh Tech Cube (http://www.techcu.be) with spectacular views of Arthur's seat and the Meadows.

Detailed job description can be found on our about page (http://www.getadministrate.com/about), look on the lower right.

We're using a combination of technologies:

- Crufty old PHP (being refactored), and newer PHP (Doctrine)

- All new development is being done with: Python, SQL Alchemy, Flask, and AngularJS using the Bootstrap UI framework

We're looking for smart people that get things done using the above techs, and who want to join a small company, have lots of responsibility, and work in a very challenging environment.

------------

We're growing really quickly, have a small team, a challenging product that's mission critical for our clients, and we're located in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

If you're outside the EU, we can look into visa sponsorship in very special cases, but this can be a long and difficult process, particularly for the UK. Sorry. Email me if interested, my name is John: jjp@getadministrate.com
In Continuum, the terrorists travel in time and underthe aauthor's logic both the heroine and the female terrorists are "along for the ride". Millineum, mentioned here is a terrible movie, but does seem to break the mold from what I remember of it anyway.
Believe incompetence before malice...
This is different and somewhat confusing to me. The Command Line Tools are just broken out from a large IDE that isn't necessary to run the results.

In this "Microsoft Build Tools" case, they're separating the tools from their runtime support (the .NET framework). You need the framework to run whatever you're building, so it doesn't seem like much is gained by splitting them up.
Giving expertise can be much more valuable than tossing money at a problem.

If the 100M valuation for Snapchat wasn't the tipoff to the bubble, where you can delete a picture... or not if your friend takes a screenshot! Brilliant!

*edit, these days you get 5M just for saying its beautiful so maybe the valuation is not THAT far off.

I wonder if he stopped calling himself a freelancer and used a business name that he "worked for" would he stop receiving these kinds of offers.

Shopify Acquires Jet Cooper
> Since 1865, there have been 5,031 deaths and 22,125 injuries caused by terrorism in the United States.

Here's another way of spinning the same data:
There have been more deaths caused by terrorism in the US in last 15 years than in the prior 135 years.

Furthermore, I don't think your comparisons to deaths from car accidents or cancer are completely valid. Those are both phenomena for which induction works well (what has happened previously is a good predictor of what will happen in the future) because the events come from more or less stationary distributions. As illustrated by September 11th attacks, the number of terrorist deaths can double in a single day. There's no reason that this can't happen again with an event with >5k deaths in a single day.

For those who have read anything by Nicholas Nassim Taleb:
Nicholas Nassim Taleb might argue that terrorist attacks are black swan events (impossible to predict, potentially very large impact) and that the comparision of terrorist deaths (a distribution from Extremistan) to motor vehicle deaths is not very valuable.

On the other hand, I don't believe the level of NSA surveillance is appropriate. I'm just trying to illustrate the amount of effort one puts into thwarting something shouldn't just depend on its previous costs, but also on the probability distribution of the event (and your uncertainty in that).

tl;dr: Terrorism is more like pg's view of a startup in that it has potential for explosive growth, while motor accident deaths are more like a well established medium sized business.
Just because Putin is better than Soviet misery doesn't make him good. Take a look at the recent anti-gay legislation, for example.

"And let's not have the illusion that HN an pg are too smart to be manipulated by people..."

You're vastly underestimating how many people are interconnected in this hodgepodge of gray matter we call HN.

Blind allegiance (or antipathy) is not how things work here.

Part of the reason this community is different from others is that the best way to respect people like pg or tptacek or anyone else who's been around is to call them on something when you disagree. I think that's how they'd like it as well.

It has nothing to do with being "smarter". It's got everything to do with being genuine.

In that regard SO is at a marked disadvantage because it's such a tempting target for drive-by dropping of bait for marketing. With the exception of a handful of long time contributors, the vast number of accounts there have no discussion between each other (since that itself leads to the question getting closed) and so they have no means to get to know each other really. That's not what happens here.

You can follow people, you can read their past threads. You can even go back and watch people evolve in their thought process with the kinds of discussions we've had. Try that on SO.
That's super news, I was concerned that yesterdays release by Greenwald might imperil Snowdens chances in Russia but it appears that was unfounded.

It's funny how this whistleblower thing might turn into a mirror image of the torture scheme the CIA employed: the CIA would use other countries to ship prisoners to to have them tortured/interrogated in ways that the country where the capture took place or the USA would not condone on their own soil (but for some magical reason doing it somewhere else or even hiring people to do it makes it ok).

Now we get whistleblowers that move outside of the jurisdiction of the country the revelations are about. Cue a Russian whistleblower to flee to the USA for some symmetry.
A robber comes to you on the street with a gun in his pocket. He kindly suggests you hand him your wallet and that'd be the end of it, no violence is going to happen, he promises. He also points out that if you decide to fight back, he's probably gonna shoot you. So what we have here is a threat of violence. It may be not as awful as violence itself, but it's still immoral, don't you agree? And a robber is still a criminal because he takes away things you don't want to give him voluntarily.
London, UK - Pitchup.com - Python Developers

===================================

We're looking for Python developers (one senior, one more junior) at our start-up in Chiswick, west London http://www.pitchup.com - we sell pitches at around 600 campsites in the UK, France and Ireland.

We receive around 60,000 visits per day, up 200% since last summer, and around 5,000 bookings per week. After celebrating our fourth birthday last Monday, we'll be expanding into new markets during the autumn/winter.

Our small team of developers work mainly in Python and Django, achieving multiple awards and great reviews for ease of use and speed http://www.reviewcentre.com/Travel-Agents/Pitchup-com-www-pi...
Behind the scenes we've built some pretty nice features to help campsite owners manage their vacancies and encourage them to sign up.

Pitchup.com was cited at the recent W3C/ODI/OKF Open Data on the Web event http://www.w3.org/2013/04/odw/ : we're aiming to go beyond the typical travel site by integrating POIs like public transport, tourist attractions and pubs. We were also among the early users of Twitter's recently-launched product cards and autocomplete.

We're looking for a couple of people to work on things like payments, international expansion, testing and personalisation, mobile and geo (backend stack is Python / Django / Postgres / Celery / nginx / S3).

The business is profitable and was founded in 2009 by former lastminute.com staff with a background in the holiday park sector. We're regularly featured in the national press, and our lively, friendly team is based at the Barley Mow Centre off Chiswick High Road in west London.

Please drop me a line if you're interested in more information, or apply at http://www.pitchup.com/jobs .

The "5,031" statistic is ludicrous. At least that many people were killed by lynching alone, not to mention Wounded Knee.
"Make it look organic" is a lofty goal, but I don't think it's realistic. As Misery from Ruby Gloom says, you don't tell people you're starting a craze, a craze just happens.
Whatever. If you don't think this sort of thing isn't happening at EVERY web top-100 web site, you've got another thing coming.

PHP Weekly - news articles from the past week
In my experience, the worse bugs I have encountered are deadlocks and race conditions. Saying just use a “non-blocking algorithm” is no silver bullet to the difficultly of working with threads.

If we don’t come up with a new system, I can’t imagine how hard it will be to efficiently program CPUs when they start coming out with 128, 256, and 512 cores.

San Francisco, CA. Full time.

Academia.edu is a social platform for academics to share research papers. The company's mission is to accelerate the world's research. 3.7m academics have joined Academia.edu, and over 300k join each month.

Many people believe that science is too closed, and too slow. We are trying to make science faster and more open. There are 4 things we are trying to achieve with Academia.edu:

- Instant distribution. Right now there is a 12 month time-lag between submitting a paper to a journal, and the paper being published. We need to make publishing a button, and the distribution of scientific ideas instant.

- Better peer review. Currently two people peer review a paper, which is too small a sample size. With 50,000 people worldwide in a research community like Machine Learning, or breast cancer, what 2 people think is not statistically significant. We need a broader-based peer review process, one that surfaces the opinions from the entire scientific community.

- Data-sets. Scientists don't share their data-sets right now. The data remains stuck on their hard-drives. The main reason for this is a lack of incentives for the scientists to share their data. We need to introduce the right reputation mechanisms in science to facilitate the sharing of data. -

- Open access. We need to bring about a world where a villager in India has the same access to the world’s scientific output as a professor in Harvard. When you open up access to the world’s scientific literature to the 2.5 billion people who are online right now, magical things can happen.

We're a 12-person engineering-driven team based in downtown San Francisco. Technologies we use include Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Varnish, Solr, Memcached, and Mongodb.

We have raised $6.7 million from Spark Capital, True Ventures, Mark Shuttleworth (founder of Ubuntu), and others.

We are looking to hire software engineers to help build a faster and more open science.

There is more information about the company on our hiring page, at http://academia.edu/hiring. There is more on TechCrunch about our mission here http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/05/the-future-of-peer-review/ (The Future of Peer Review) and here http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/03/the-future-of-the-scientifi... (Reputation Metrics in Science)

We will handle re-location, including visas. We are not currently hiring remote employees.

If you are interested to learn more, please email Richard Price at richard [at] academia.edu.
When you can enough for the community using the money you'll get to outweigh any damage this spam would cause.

Assuming these posts would be moderated fairly quickly and thus not have that much impact on the site, would it not be worth posting one of these if it means a $1k donation to stackoverflow.com? How about 10k?

Surely at some point the benefits outweigh the damage.
You're continuing to indicate you would be violent toward those attempting to enforce laws if not for the fact that they could be more violent toward you.

If you're just using guns as a proxy for "someone is telling me what to do and I don't like it", then how about being a little more honest and just saying "I don't want to obey rules I don't like"?
Could you elaborate a little bit on the industry you are servicing and/or the specific problem domains?

also: where is the company located (i'm asking for tax, health insurance reasons etc.) ?

I think they've got a good idea. But after spending many minutes "Getting Started," I haven't seen the first graphical visualization yet. If their target is "...executives, managers and others who are increasingly asked to have some background in programming" as TC suggests, they have a long way to go. Someone who wants "visualizations" wants graphical, not text.

Let's assume for a moment that TC has that bit wrong. In that case, I'm finding the NoFlo tool much less impressive.
