Help us fight online fraud with machine learning. Sift Science is hiring
Sift Science (http://siftscience.com) is ready for great people to join our cause in sunny/foggy San Francisco. We're looking for our first product manager, an integration engineer, our first account manager, frontend/backend engineers, and our first B2B marketing hire.

Last year there was $4B in online fraud and 70% of that was driven by organized crime. The opponents are no longer script kiddies -- they’re just as smart and capable as any of us, and their attacks are evolving in both scale and sophistication. As the world becomes more connected, this problem will only get worse. We’re building a large-scale machine learning system paired with elegant visualization/UI tools to help ecommerce businesses take a stand. We’re literally fighting bad guys, and have big plans beyond fraud.

Our team (http://siftscience.com/about) includes several ex-Googlers with experience spanning e-commerce analytics, search quality, ads quality, and speech recognition. We value respect, collaboration and creativity, and don't take ourselves too seriously. We want to create a great place to work -- a company is nothing without its people.

As an early team member, you’ll have a huge impact on the product, direction and culture of the company.

You must:

* Get stuff done

* Respect and treat others well

* Be comfortable wearing different hats

* Thrive on responsibility and freedom

* Bulldoze through unfamiliar problems

A background in machine learning, HBase, Hadoop, Java, Rails, MongoDB, d3, jQuery, HTML/CSS, data visualization and/or AWS is great, but not required. Just be ready to learn quickly.

We can promise two of these five things:

* Daily inspirational quotes read in-person by William Shatner

* Interesting and meaningful technical problems

* All-you-can-eat caviar breakfast, lunch, and dinner

* Weekend Lamborghini rentals

* An incredible team that will challenge and respect you

Our investors include Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, Max Levchin (PayPal co-founder), Marc Benioff (Salesforce CEO), Chris Dixon (Andreesen Horowitz), Y Combinator, SV Angel, and others well-versed in e-commerce, payments, and enterprise software. We offer market salary, meaningful equity, health insurance, custom dev setup, beer o’clock, relocation help, etc. just like everyone else. But what’s most important is the work you do and who you do it with. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

Let’s make the world a better place. Send your resume / GitHub to jobs+hn@siftscience.com
I am not attacking people of HN in the post at all!

Not only are you attacking the "people of HN", you are grossly misrepresenting to do so. Aside from the absolutely ridiculous veer into claiming that it had anything whatsoever to do with ageism or punchcards or anyone attacking anyone (that whole non-sequitur was surreal, leaving me thinking that I must be missing something. The only explanation I can come up with is that you ply your own bigotry, and this was your way of categorizing and dismissing a segment of the population), you pull nonsense such as quoting alan_cx and then skipping where they continued with "How about a normal link to a normal page explaining your offer?"

That is extremely constructive commentary: Like probably 99% of opportunities the author got, I clicked back a few slides in, as the presentation was absolutely atrocious.

Your post was bitter irony as it was absolutely worlds worse than the worst of HN. Personal attacks, misrepresentations, strawmen....amazing.
Oh do shut up, you're a big part of what's wrong with hn. https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/66e8721ff869
Ebuddy - Amsterdam, Netherlands (Foreign workers welcome!)

My employer Ebuddy is currently hiring a Senior Javascript Developer in Amsterdam. We need a really experienced frontend (ninja? haha kidding) person to help us build our chat platform for web.

http://jobvite.com/m?3HvA5gwC

About us: Ebuddy is creating apps for the next generation of instant messaging. We are a not-so-big company of about 100 employees located in the centre of Amsterdam.

How to apply: Send me an email at nodemaker@gmail.com with your resume, a brief personal description about yourself and what exactly you are looking for.
Same, searching HN is no "hack" unless it was done in a novel or interesting way. This might even be a cool hack, but I dont know!
IANAL, but it's generally illegal for employers to permit employees to work without pay. The same way you can't legally "volunteer" to be paid less than minimum wage.
C++ has an IMHO worse version of this feature, that requires a custom type, and that only allows a single function to be called for that type.

This is more like Go's defer, and is far more appropriate for my use cases.

Quora gets more traffic from India than the US. At least 30% of its user base is Indian[1]. Quora does very well overseas.

+1, for request of implementation details. I'm really curious about this.
It's quite possible that his ESTA application (although at first automatically approved) didn't match up with the records (which might have not been updated either).

I-94 F: "Have you ever been denied a U.S. visa or entry into the U.S. or had a U.S. visa cancelled? If yes, when? ______________________ where?"[1]

Last year his work visa was at first denied. And only granted after intervention by the Washington University St. Louis.: "Schon vergangenes Jahr hatte das amerikanische Konsulat in München meinen Antrag auf ein Arbeitsvisum zum Zwecke einer Gastprofessur an der Washington University in St. Louis zuerst negativ beschieden und erst nach Protesten der Universität und einer erheblichen Verzögerung, die einen Teil des Semesters nutzlos vergehen ließ, das Visum erteilt."[2]

So possible simple explanation could be:

He assumed his visa was not denied and answered question F with NO, since he got one, but that didn't match up with the a possible record of his denied visa application. So his entry could arguably be denied on formal grounds only. Still bad style on not giving him any clue what went wrong. This would tell more about a bureaucracy state than a looming surveillance state, yet the two are not exclusive to each other.

Quite likely he also would have gotten in with an actual Tourist or Business Visa (B-1/B-2)[3], once approved they are way harder to revoke instead of relying on an over-automated process like Visa-Waiver/ESTA if you would have any unclear answers on an I94.

(I'll admit to skimming up front)

I didn't get the impression that he was suggesting people interested in Data Science should forego theory and lecture altogether.

His argument for building applied skills first, was that it would motivate academic pursuit later (as well as being immediately applicable). If you're already reading for your Ph.D. we might assume you're not at a loss for motivation :-)

(okay now I went back and reread)

I also get the impression he's talking to an application-focused audience. 16 year olds looking at colleges, or 20 year olds considering a focus for a masters, are probably not the target audience of the Harvard Business Review.

I can't count how many tickets I've closed by saying "This is lower priority than X, Y and Z. We will address it, but not this very second." Then, two weeks later, going over to the person to gather more information about the ticket, it's suddenly not required any more.
Do this numbers make sense? IT Spending for a 8 million people state.
Sorry for the french but the article is basically a list of IT spending for the Quebec govt. They seem huge to me, does anyone have similar data from another state, I don't know maybe it's normal business to give 500 millions in contracts to a single company...

If the files are encrypted w/ aes, there's no scanner that could detect a virus in the file. Every file would be different depending on the AES key used to encrypt it.

The only way you're going to scan aes encrypted files is before they are encrypted.
Interesting, thanks for the overview. I'll have a poke around the doc :) I've been meaning to look into more about how these things work. I understand the very high level stuff and the very low level (how to use the tools roughly and some of the maths behind it all) but not so much in-between.
It comes down to an opinion by Jimmy Carter's second Attorney General, Benjamin Civiletti[1]. The gist of his opinion, which I need to find a better link for, is that since Congress has sole authority over the budget it is illegal for the government to spend money that was not preauthorized because it undermines Congress' authority. Furthermore, he cited some obscure statute as the reason volunteering to perform normally paid functions would be illegal.

[1] http://www.npr.org/2011/04/08/135247483/who-raised-the-stake...

Edit: His opinion was based on a strict interpretation of the Antideficiency Act[2], the key provisions of which are:

The Antideficiency Act prohibits federal employees from

* making or authorizing an expenditure from, or creating or authorizing an obligation under, any appropriation or fund in excess of the amount available in the appropriation or fund unless authorized by law. 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(A).

* involving the government in any obligation to pay money before funds have been appropriated for that purpose, unless otherwise allowed by law. 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(B).

* accepting voluntary services for the United States, or employing personal services not authorized by law, except in cases of emergency involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. 31 U.S.C. § 1342.

* making obligations or expenditures in excess of an apportionment or reapportionment, or in excess of the amount permitted by agency regulations. 31 U.S.C. § 1517(a).

As a current user of CircleCI, and as someone who set up Jenkins for general consumption at my last company, I have to echo your sentiment. With CircleCI, we have been left in the dark for more time than I care to think about due to completely oddworld (and sometimes sporadic) failures. Jenkins took me less than a day to set up (as someone who had never set it up before), and while it wasn't all smooth sailing, everyone was capable of diagnosing problems that we encountered.

To be fair to both Circle and Jenkins, between Github, Heroku and/or <insert other virtual services here>, there are a lot of 'black boxes' that have to work in concert (for us, and probably for many others out here). As the pin that ties the deployment cycle together, CI tends to draw on a lot of hate (warranted or not) from engineers trying to get their code out of the door.

I find that I am happier when I can get my hands dirty and help myself when things go awry. Software is all fun and games until a black box is standing between you and deployment.

True, I should've made that clear. But I wouldn't want to be the representative who voted against paying federal employees at the next election.
Here's a useful link:

https://www.gov.uk/redundant-your-rights/redundancy-pay

So it seems that if you are temporarily unpaid or on reduced pay for 4 weeks in a row, or 6 weeks non-consecutively in a 13 week period, you can claim redundancy pay.
I believe that they need to link to the security review i linked , not hide it in forums.

There was also someone who deanonimized bitmessage. They should link this too in a prominent place.

If they solved any of those problems , they should link to solutions and a possible review.
A few reasons:

First, they're unionized. Understandably, the union is against unpaid labor of any kind. It sets a precedent that is more problematic than anything.

Second, we have a Federal minimum wage. You're not allowed to make less than that in a job. Therefore they would have to be paid something to still be in compliance with the law.

Finally, while one person can go into an office without incurring massive costs, if you have an entire office come in, then you need to make sure receptionists, janitors, kitchen staff, parking attendants, etc are on the job.
> The attenuation of differences in this context means that the intent is to standardize the populace, nothing more, nothing less.

> "Rosenberg suggests that people's work schedules should change to fit in with their natural sleep patterns"

I realize there's some of what you're talking about going on here (e.g. the very next phrase mentioning that there's an 'easier way'), but I think there's far less intent than you're implying.

the NSA deal and (more importantly) Google Reader shutdown really did it to me. As soon as I find an alternative to gmail I'm leaving Google service wholly.

Entire article seemed rather aggressive.
Good thoughts, thanks! :)

I didn't expect this post to polarise people so much but, in a way, I am glad it did. I have found some interesting conversation behaviors and patterns that will surely stand me in good stead when I post my very own "Show HN" in the (hopefully) near future.

As a quick thought, I'd like to leave you with this:

> What is this? Sorry, but I’m not going to watch shapes flying around my screen to find out.

OR

> [...]some people don't want a presentation, they just want text. Look at man pages - it's possible to improve the typography and the presentation, and include some graphics and CSS, but the information is what people want.

I'll stretch my neck out here and claim that both posts are offering the same criticism (somewhat). However, different people react differently to the two statements quoted above. For me, it is the second one.

Which one eggs you on more?

That's fair enough. Given you aren't actually charging anything for it, then there's no cheek. I'm hoping that most people understand that this is a personal project.

FWIW, ignore these comments. Their tone is ridiculous and not constructive. Instead of saying "I think that there's an issue with clicking on the back button, here's a pointer to fix it", they've decided to use non-constructive criticism along the lines of "You're a loser because you can't allow people to use the back button".

Honestly, I've never understood this sort of thing. It smacks of elitism, but the underlying causes is a deep seated unease about the commenter's own confidence.

You would think that, but who knows. I'm surprised by the number of DC-area Congressman who voted to shut down the government even though it puts their own constituents out of work.
I don't see anything particularly nasty about the comments called out by the author. One even seemed somewhat humorous in nature (first one).

Look.. if you are unable in this day and age, and this environment, to differentiate between honest criticism directed at your product, in this case "you wrecked my back history", "too much clicking", "too much animation" and insults directed at you (or your child.. what a shameful appeal to emotion), you are in the wrong line of work.

I honestly and truly mean that. If your criterion for "nasty" is a short message containing no insults, no foul language, simply a lack of social niceties book-ending the actual content, you're going to be very unpleasantly surprised when actual end users get ahold of your product and start voicing their annoyance with language that would make Linus Torvalds blush.

Being a labor of love certainly doesn't exempt you from criticism, even less so when you make a "Show HN" post about it!

If you don’t like my work because it is bad, tell me about it.

Here were three very concrete issues presented by random people. I don't know about you, but were I on the receiving end of those pretty reasonable comments, I'd have taken their advice to heart and made changes, not written what amounts to a tone argument in blog post form.

This post is made not in insult of the author or his work - it is made in honest critique of the blog post. Whatever tone is chosen to be read into this post is the reader's choice.
