London, UK — Fountain Digital Labs (http://www.fountain-digital.com)

We're working on the interactive video app and building both the client part (iOS) and the video processing backend (Python/ffmpeg). Currently looking for a Python developer, Video Streaming Engineer, iOS developer and UI/UX designer, all full-time in London. We're based at Google Campus.

I'm including the links with the usual job description blurb below, just wanted to say that we're a well funded one year old company, with product prototype ready, now approaching first public release. It's seven of us, with three people located in London. These will be our first hires, so your influence on the end product is only limited by your own capacity. For the same reason we're super serious about picking the right people and should we find them, ready to treat them very well with interesting engineering tasks and cookies. It's great to work here, really.

Recruiter here, and the first thing to consider is that to actually be called a job hopper, you must be pretty good at getting hired. Otherwise, you'd be called unemployed.

People define job hopping different ways, and the tenure matters. I once had a client (financial, big) that wouldn't hire anyone that wasn't at their current job for 7+ years. They abandoned that policy around 2006, as they found it impossible to hire, and they also found that the types of candidates that met that qualification often weren't that attractive. In other words, they found that if you were at your company for 10+ years, it could be because you are not in high demand by others.

In tech, moving jobs is expected and probably recommended from a marketability and employability perspective, as long as you make smart moves and don't just leave every time you get bored or passed over for a promotion.

Someone who has a pattern of staying perhaps 3 years with companies and then leaving will often be viewed as very attractive, whereas someone who has several 6-8 month stints over the course of a few years will often get a negative view.
EDIT: Forgot that I wrote an article on job hopping for tech pros earlier this year http://jobtipsforgeeks.com/2013/07/25/hop/

I choose to not care so much, based on who the parties are.

There is more to life than whether one giant company is suing another giant company. I would care a lot more if Apple used their patents to squash small competitors, but they don't. This is purely a clash of the titans.

I use Apple computers because they are the best computers for me to get my job done. Patent suits don't change that. I use Google search for the same reason.
$1000 for answering some questions is pretty good. 1k is still 1k. I'd accept a dollar if all I had to do was blink an eye.
Credit card details are not the main concern here (because they are separated on Chrome), but you could send your address and phone number to a server without expecting to send more than your name or email address.
This theory doesn't hold up at all. Germany nearly flattened, and yet, they had the Wirtschaftswunder ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirtschaftswunder ). In fact, it wasn't just that Germany was bombed, but after the war their machinery and even their top talent were ruthlessly pillaged by both the West and the Soviets. And yet, Germany emerged just as well (or better by some measures) industrially than Sweden or the US.

If you want more counter-examples, look to Japan, nothern Italy, or Austria, whose industrial capacity and economy became exceedingly powerful after the war.

Wayland probably isn't going to provide remote display capability, let alone anything like that.

All Wayland really does is hand out framebuffers in local RAM. The Wayland devs consider app display remoting to be a special case used by relatively few users, and outside the scope of the core project.

And now you know why I'm sticking with X for now.
I could be wrong but after spending 2 minutes finding out about them, I think that sort of thing is their actual business, not just a small flaw in a blog post?

I'm working on something similar at http://tripovore.com

Basically I think city guides are obsolete (they have been there for 200 years with no major innovation) and have to be reinvented and trip planning automatized using APIs we have online. I currently use 6 of them: foursquare, songkick, instagram, google places, google translate and facebook.
I've been working on this for the past 8 months, but I'm having UX difficulties keeping such a complex problem as simple as possible. I first started this during the foursquare hackathon 2011 and the project won the grand prize (called my next trip at that time).

Would love to hear any feedbacks you got at feedback@tripovore.com

Thanks!

I think everyone, whether you want Wayland or not, would like to move away from X.

I'm not terribly eager to move away from X. I'll switch if there's something that runs all my programs, and does everything X does but cleaner and better. A POSIXy version of rio from Plan 9 would be a good start.

But Wayland isn't that and I'm not eager to adopt Wayland. Let alone fucking Mir.
Suggestion: Maybe you can change the messaging on the landing page.

"Build your Perfect trip." or something along those lines might be good.

Cool stuff!
Thanks for sharing this. When you say you "didn’t end up going through the program again," do you mean you were accepted again but decided not to participate?

There is no need to burn them, you just put them in a box and they are effectively off the market.

If you examine the behavior of certain other thin markets, like art, this happens. The action of paying a record high price for something is because you own more of that item.

It may happen with financial markets as well, but it requires a whole lot more money.

My suggestion for any collectibles is first see if you can even find the item available on ebay, amazon, abebooks, etc. If its not, then that is a good sign. If there are a lot available and they aren't selling (watch the listing a week), then its worth a lot less than the asking prices.

That sounds like a bureaucrats definition of success. "It's not about accomplishing real work, it's about the process, getting involved in the process, etc. etc." Seeing how wall st. is at all time highs using printed money, and the largest mega banks are still mega, it's a bit optimistic to call OWS a success.

Don't get me wrong, I think it was a great effort... and I really like the 1%/99% coining... but perhaps it's time to look at reality.
I want to distinguish between rational libertarians and the whacko ones that seem to hang out with them but throw rationality out the window. Basically, libertarian != libercrazian.
We did have something much closer to them.

The popular reaction to what happened under those markets is why we developed anti-trust regulation, and taxes on rich people. (Which peaked in the 1950s with a marginal income tax of 92-93% on earned income over $1 million/year.)

Bill Gates is, in many ways, the Andrew Carnegie of our day. Both in good and bad ways.
Particularly anything that people already see as collectible and carefully preserve; leads to a large supply of good-condition items.

Pocket watches are one interesting example. The majority of nice old pieces from the late 19th century are worth only $50-$80. It's something that seemed obviously valuable to people so nobody threw them away, even once they went out of fashion in actual use. So there are literally millions of pocket watches out there still, since everyone has their grandfather's old watch. And they regularly appear on eBay, keeping the market supplied. Even if a large proportion are cannibalized for parts or lost, it's still enough supply that collectors' demand doesn't push prices very high.

Let's Get Tea
Worked in Chrome for me.
I've worked for a POS company for five years and boy, do I have some stories about the industry! I definitely agree with the OP that the market is littered with terrible products that were knocked together in VB or Delphi, overpriced, and put together with little consideration for actual use cases.

With that said, I don't think that there exists a 'one size fits all' solution. For small and medium retailers without their own IT staff, a service contract makes a lot of sense (consider hardware failure or a corrupted database, or re-training on the system's admin functionality for example). These guys often have a very large inventory and I doubt that a lightweight product (eg Square Register) can manage it elegantly. Unfortunately the needs of these retailers often result in a huge, enterprise-y solution that is both cumbersome and expensive to maintain.

Large retail franchises generally hire firms to tailor a POS product for them, service it, and integrate it into their existing ecosystem (SAP, PeopleSoft etc.).

I think the small retailer market is really interesting and some newcomers like Square Register are shaking things up. Small retailers are often family-owned and really need a product that works out of the box, is easy to configure and use, accepts credit cards, and is very inexpensive. If the POS is designed intelligently then there retailer can probably run the entire thing themselves as long as they don't need special features (think gas stations, loyalty programs, and other markets like hospitality).

I think the OP's project looks awesome and it seems to be targeted at small businesses with low- to medium throughput and where the manager is reasonably technical (see the reviews from the SourceForge page where people dont know how to set it up - these folks probably need a ready-made solution or a consultant). I could also see consultants taking this and extending it to compete with a lot of the existing products out there, which I would be really excited to see!
> 21st century Socialism

If you think that any major world economy is socialist, you're deluded.

> Our taxes are worse than Canada (supposedly a semi-Socialist nation)

Wait, what, no, it isn't. Why do you think this? Are you confusing socialism with social democracy, or something?
This is a fairly sensationalist piece, but it does underline a supposition that is very likely true. The Chinese government has hacked many many systems, stealing information for military and commercial gain but with little publicity. Snowden's leaks were VERY suspiciously timed, and done during a period when he was in an interesting place. I find these combination of facts and suppositions interesting but little investigated.
HN changed it back to my original title once it detected I had posted before.
My Hardest Bug Ever
It's just like startups that advertise "join us and we'll get you all the latest Apple gear!"

People who earn SV developer salaries can afford all the latest Apple gear (or as much of it as they want, anyway).
My general rule is that I will stay with the same job for at least 1 year. Part of that is to not look like I'm job hopping, but mostly it's because it generally takes me around 6 months to fully acclimate to the environment and another 6 months to get deep enough into development to figure out if it's somewhere I want to stay.

Of course that timing changes depending on the product and company. If you're working on a well established product at a medium to large company it may take longer to do much real development (beyond bug fixing and paper shuffling), so it may take longer to figure out if you want to stay longer. However, at a startup, you'll probably be dropped right into the fire on the first day, so you may be able to determine that more quickly.

When I've looked at resumes, anything less than a year at a job usually raises a flag. Unless there are a lot of jobs on your resume like that, it's not a negative thing, but I would absolutely ask about it during an interview.

Working remotely gets boring. I love relocating. New environment, culture, people, and having drinks with your team after a long day of work is probably one of the primary things I live for haha.

If you've only seen the first set of our crypto challenges (you have to finish the first 8 problems before you get the next set), and you're wondering what the remaining 56 (soon to be 64) problems are like, the crypto challenge Sean just posted is much more representative of the whole than anything in set 1.

We use set 1 primarily to weed out people who aren't serious about writing code.
I mean that if you do the HTML parsing to JavaScript portion as part of your deploy, instead of in the browser at render time, then all you're measuring is string concatenation and HTML render times, which should always be the same. Template rendering speeds in that case mean nothing.

You're in IL right? For some reason the insurance situation in IL seems to be really crappy. They allow(ed) for looking back further in people's medical history than a lot of other states according to wikipedia. That doesn't explain why the new plans are so much more expensive though even in states that previously had restrictions on preexisting conditions and medical history use in underwriting.
aaaaand we've come full circle. Thanks for that.

NSA Files Decoded: What the revelations mean for you

In Australia newspapers are dominated by low grade churnalism, articles mainly consisting of hyper mega adjective overload!, poor research and investigation (choosing to leave it to fact checking websites and media watch to do the real research), a lot of 'newspaper columnists' are really just overpaid bloggers who are bad at their jobs or partisan hacks repeating ad lib what their favourite politician has told them.

So really a newspaper to me is like if you removed all the intelligence from the internet, and left me with a paper based version of the youtube comment section. A vapid, 500 words max, poorly researched, poorly written, waste of time that's not worth the paper it's written on.

This sounds like a solid and scalable approach, most others that come to mind relate to being able to join a conversation based on seeing part of it and then being added, but if the app isn't doing identity-based messaging (e.g. if A replies to B does it become more like tweeting at each other?) then there's no real way to do so.

Another nice aspect of keeping it strictly distance-based is that it makes it simpler to scale - all persons within a geographic region are able to see only other people within that region, so within limits you can run separate backend instances as required.

And of course there are all sorts of potential growth directions by allowing communities (e.g. "Students at XYZU and people within 1 mile" or "Students at XYZU who are within 1 mile").
