ënimai - www.enimai.com - Mountain View CA - Full Time, no remote work.

ënimai is looking for full stack unicorns.

When we say full stack - we really mean the entire software stack, right from processor initialization to the cloud backend. We have written our own hard real time operating system and "own" everything that runs on it.

We are looking for extraordinary programmers. Programmers who, true to the spirit, can work with any programming language to solve the problem at hand. Generalists who can become specialists in any field.

The team has previously built very successful products at Apple, Amazon/Lab126, Google, HP Labs, NASA, OLPC, etc.

You will be rewarded with better than industry pay and equity. However, the biggest reward will not have dollar figures attached to it. It is the feeling you get doing what you do best and making an impact in this world.

Interesting how the journalist's name is Timothy B. Lee.
Don't take these things too seriously. At the end of the day it's about how good you are. You might have more of a grind to the top, but it's attainable.
Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm giving it another shot with another meetup and a couple more groups. And I dropped an email to what I guessed was yours.
No Flash for me there at all. I checked the video - it was Theora/Vorbis (OGV). I wonder how you got Flash instead.

There is HTML video - the video tag. No Flash attached.
If you want to see this same event happen in real time in the next few years then look at the sneaker market. The same thing that happened with Comics and Baseball Cards is going to happen in the sneaker market.

Nike and other sneaker companies are pumping out so called "collectable" sneaker to sneaker heads. These people, tempted to say kids but I know too many adults who do this as well, buy the sneakers at $200 and never wear them. Or there are some like the kid in this story http://abcnews.go.com/Business/teenage-sneakerheads-bet-thou... who camp out and buy them only to resell them on eBay right away for double to triple the price.

There is definitely a bubble going on here and someone like me who is very interested in economics and have many friends who are into the sneaker scene, but not as hardcore as a lot of these people, it is going to be interesting to watch it go pop.
According to Google's top hit, Waterloo also happens to be "the top poker university": www.pokerlistings.com/blog/top-5-poker-universities
Personally, I am just observing the complete vanishing of brick-and-mortar stores for physical media of music, and extrapolating. I could certainly be mistaken.
Using Quora (or Reddit) is really a smart first move.
It allow you to find interresting question/subject that you could answer (which is not trivial).
It also allow you to directly reach a base of interested reader.

Kind of what HN does for ideas/start-up.

I wonder if this also exist for other type of markets (product, music, ...) ...
Also, like a toddler, the Internet's knees were closer to the ground than they are today :-)

I was at Sun at the time and it was an interesting story but you could have completely disconnected Sun from the "internet" (which was being serviced at the time by a single T-1 line, 1.544Mbps baby!) for two or three days and it wouldn't have been the end of the world, and it would not have cut into sales. Due to some better configuration defaults, the impact of the worm on Sun was minimal.
And the operative word in pg's reply is "ok". That Apple, MS, et. al. are acting in their objective self interest (and to the detriment of all of ours!) is an important point. But it doesn't speak to the moral issue which is that such behavior needs to be condemned and not excused.
I used to do fresh installs (due to a general fear of incremental upgrades failing) until I tried using their upgrade guides. I've never looked back. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade54.html
I've been hopping since I was 14.
Honestly, Chrom* is broken everywhere. Particularly in XP. I have mine black and the bastard Chrom* chooses to be blue.

In general Google apps play very bad with desktop standards. Logical, regarding their position about the desktop.

I just have to use Chrom* because Opera committed suicide.
Unfortunately he's got this wrong. As long as the server returns a content length (which is up to the project to set up correctly), wget will retry until it gets the full length of the script. So the partial execute can't happen.

That's really about as well as you can do, because HTTP doesn't do a good job of reporting errors. You could try to get the content length in advance and then check against it after the download (which is basically what wget is doing), but that won't buy you much. Most servers won't do Content-MD5, so that's out. One smart thing to do would be to use "Accept-Encoding" to download a compressed version of the script and then do a decompression test before running. Alternatively, you can make the download script into a shell archive style script, such that it doesn't do anything until you get to the last byte, at which point it extracts out the real script and runs it (which wouldn't change what your install command is).

The whining about disabling the certificate check is also spurious. Most of the time these are scripts pointing to a non-https URL but which redirect to an HTTPS URL. You are already vulnerable when you do the HTTP request. On top of that, almost nobody is doing DNSSec, so you are already vulnerable at the DNS level. Even ignoring that, Salt offers it as a solution if you can't get the certificate check to work. The alternative would be to provide you with instructions on how to install a CA certificate, which someone is far more likely to screw up and unless you've established trust of the instructions themselves, could be just as vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. Offering instructions on how to disable the check is a perfectly reasonable solution.
SEEKING WORK - Remote or UK

I'm a product designer (UX + UI) and a front-end developer.
Here's some examples of my work… http://blendmode.co.uk

Here's what I do best:

- Planning: wireframes, on paper or in Balsamiq

- Concepts: Photoshop mock-ups of pages and flows

- Build: HTML, CSS and JS. I prefer HAML, SASS and CoffeeScript

- Integration: I can integrate into any app or framework.

I've been a designer/developer since 2002. For the last 3 years, I've been focused on helping start-ups design and build their products.

Get in touch via my portfolio or mitchell@blendmode.co.uk.
Thanks!
I agree, I got rejected from Waterloo as well, but I did fine going to U of T.
From macaw.co:

ABSOLUTE TO STATIC CONVERSION
Macaw offers designers the freedom of absolute positioning within the interface but will convert to a static document flow upon export by calculating the necessary margins, padding, floats and clears. It's the best of both worlds.
The Waterloo students I've worked with have been absolutely amazing and have tons of programming experience. They do co-ops year-round. If you're running a startup, I'd recommend putting a post on Jobmine, which is their online job matching tool:
http://uwaterloo.ca/jobmine/

The next deadline to post a co-op is January 15, for students working in summer 2014.

(You can technically post now for the "continuous cycle" of Jan-Apr co-ops, but I think most students are already matched so you'll get fewer results.)
Would you mind expanding on Rob Erderle? I've heard not nice retorts on him but not quite some details and would like a few pointers.
Normally I would completely agree. However, since it doesn't autoplay until the active video is fully on screen and there is a prominent link to turn autoplay off right next to the video control, I'm willing to forgive the use of autoplay this time.
I took that advice about 10 years ago, unfortunately.

Currently Wizards of Coast has a no-reprint policy on most of the old high-value cards. While I don't know that I would invest in them, until that policy changes the value of those old cards is pretty steady. Paper is still the best way to play Magic, so not sure when this will change.

Also, currently, Wizard's attempts at making software is like a model for the federal healthcare rollout, ie: very bad.

One other difference in Magic, is that people actually use them to play games. There were actually a lot of older cards I still have that were nearly worthless for a while that shot up in value over the last few years as a certain version of Magic (EDH) became popular.

Still, not something I would buy for investment purposes, but I buy a lot of magic cards just because I enjoy playing the game. Cardboard Crack, as my friends like to call it. Also, once a junky, always a junky, they all come back after a while.
Actually, the article doesn't spin it that way, but a lot are staying in the Waterloo area. BufferBox for the most part is still based in KW. Thalmic and Vidyard returned to KW after YC. Eric is one of the few successful exceptions I can think of for staying in PA with Pebble after YC.
Waterloo's rep really hit home to me when at the end of our YC interview, PG still hadn't seen our demo and when we asked why, he said, "You're from Waterloo right? It works."
Zipmark (https://zipmark.com) - New York, NY (Remote Possible)

We are looking for awesome people to come work with us and help build the next great alternative payment network.

Hear, hear.

Google really needs to take a hint from BufferBox. If they can set up parcel delivery sites everywhere, what about setting up small to medium sized offices in every major city so that people don't have to relocate to work with them. Start with Vancouver. Mozilla has an office here in Vancouver and near as I can tell its only function is so that local people can work close to home on one or another of the Mozilla projects.

In my opinion, this is the future of work. Small hubs colocated with other small hubs, so that you are not working remote alone, but with a handful of coworkers in a larger office environment that has many businesses sharing a building and the overhead things like receptionists, room booking, coffee rooms, etc.
You could also say By and Large is simply 'Cockney rhyming slang' [1] for Barge.

Nobody lobbied hard. Somebody sent somebody some mails and all of a sudden it's made out as if canonical was lobbying very hard and putting major pressure.

I refuse to believe there was major lobbying until I see actual emails (and the number of emails).
I thought Dalvik was quiet because the principal author (Dan Bornstein) left Google a while ago.

Is ART from the recent FlexyCore acquisition, or something else that has been going on for a while?
Yep. I didn't mean to imply that all webapp development was done on Apple platforms, either. In fact, what I really meant, but worded poorly, was that it's really a very specific subset of the developer "community" that: a) thinks "all development is web development" and b) "web development" is ideal when done on Apple platforms.

My experience mirrors what you have explicitly stated--most development, web app or otherwise, isn't done on Apple products.
There's already a Wanderlust:

A system's BIOS image is usually written to an EEPROM chip, and they are often removable. So you can either just pop them out, or desolder them in the worst case.

Then you can use an external EEPROM reader that can dump the contents, but is not capable of running the code.

The EEPROM is storage only; it's contents are loaded by the PC at boot. So if it is removed, there is no processing that an occur internally than can mask the data inside of it.
Responsive HTML Emails: a Different Strategy
Ok I'll shoot you an email.
It's so much easier and rewarding to just learn the basic code to structure a webpage. What if I don't really know much web dev, but master this tool? Where will that get me?

"So it shows here you've developed 8 websites for clients, wow, what does your stack look like?"

"Oh I kinda just mastered this one specific tool, I don't really know how to code."

Reminds me of Dreamweaver days.

Online versions if that count. Not the physical paper.
I like it, someone shoots people, apparently 2 people dead (gunman + TSA agent), several others wounded, and your priority is hypothetical restrictions on your rights.
I think he's forgetting this little thing called "fiduciary responsibility". In almost all jobs in finance, you have a legal obligation to generate externalities in the name of profit. You may learn how to make a different, but unless you get rich enough to be investing your own money to make the world better, you are often going to find yourself having to do things that damage the commons for the sake of the individual.

That being said, I used to work in finance, and I agree that there is a lot of value in spending 1-2 years there since it gives you a lot of operating insight into the impact of finance in getting things done and that knowledge is very useful if you find yourself on the other side of the table trying to convince finance professional to do the right thing. They understand finance and rarely understand how industries actually work, even though they think they do and write lots of reports giving that impression. To make them understand an industry or world problem, you need to put it in their vocabulary.
One alumnus the university tends not to brag about is Calvin Ayre, founder of the bodog online poker empire.
Wow!

I had similar experience proposing patches and people feeling offended because I criticized their "sacred" selected options. People identify with their work, so if you criticize their work, they fell criticized.

"Trust me on this one, I am the one right because it is me and I have so much experience than anybody else..."

It seems at the end of the day FOSS is not different than other organizations in the power fights area.
I was replying to you, I was addressing the dangerous part, the nonsense rhetoric as you put it, that you had an issue with from the original poster. I was referring to the concept in general, it was never aimed directly at you. I don't know where you got that impression. You were the one responding as if you felt my thoughts on the matter applied directly to you when I, and another poster, have gone out of our way to say that was not the intention from the beginning.
Should have done that. Updated.
Sorry, I don't get it, what's wrong with that sentence?

VP of Operations here. The longest I've stayed at a job was three years in thirteen years. I make what I make because I don't wait around for a raise. If you haven't given me one, I go to greener pastures (as we all should!).

Loyalty and waiting years for recognition via compensation? Ain't nobody got time for that.
To be fair, all of the Silicon Valley cities, including San Jose itself, are sleepy and post-agricultural. Or at least sluggish and suburban.
"We didn't believe that Morris intended to cause harm or damage," Rasch says. In his view, Morris was "motivated mainly by curiosity and by a desire to show that he could do it."

On the other hand, the Justice Department worried that "if the government treated this as a misdemeanor, a trivial offense, that others would go out and do it," Rasch said. "You had conduct that was planned, premeditated, that was deliberate, over periods of months, that caused massive disruption and expense to a wide number of different individuals." That required a response, the government believed.

So Morris was charged with a single felony count. Rasch says Morris could have been charged with a separate felony for each of the thousands of computers the worm infected. But the lawyer and his colleagues believed that would be overkill. "I don't believe that you over-prosecute someone to send a message," Rasch says. "I don't believe in the head-on-a-stake theory of prosecution."

----

Is that not a contradiction, he seems to be saying that they chose felony over misdemeanor not because of him but to set an example, then goes on to say that they don't do that sort of thing?
You'll never get to position of having an ethical impact in banking if that is your goal. The system is very good at preventing people with anything other than a pure profit motive from rising above the rank of peon.
We have been using co-ops from Waterloo for some time and have subsequently hired several full time. Some greta people there (even if they eat that weird abomination, Poutine)
