Wouldn't you as an investor/owner/marketer for a network-effect platform try to get as much media attention as possible? I think hyping up your startup in the billions range is the perfect way to do so.

This included Google trying to extort absurd sums for FRAND patents.

I don't see how Google gets a free pass because that was its wholly-owned Motorola Mobility when Apple/Microsoft/RIM/etc don't get a free pass because Rockstar is an independent entity.
To quote Paul Graham: "Just as trying to think up startup ideas tends to produce bad ones, working on things that could be dismissed as "toys" often produces good ones. When something is described as a toy, that means it has everything an idea needs except being important. It's cool; users love it; it just doesn't matter. But if you're living in the future and you build something cool that users love, it may matter more than outsiders think."

To put into context, how much do you think a telco company with 26 million US customers is worth ?

If Snapchat is displacing text and calls as the medium of transient communication of the next generation, it could feasibly end up being worth a substantial amount.

(My personal opinion is that it's over-valued; but it's important that someone makes the reasoned counter-argument)
He may have meant accept only UTF-8/16. That is the very nice thing about UTF-8 though is that it plays so nice with routines that can accept ASCII or Latin-1. You can't use old routines to character count/change case/etc., but at least they won't corrupt your string by accident.
Doing Data Science: What’s it all about?

Sure, but what's the hurry? If you don't really want to buy insurance but are doing it to avoid the penalty, you might as well wait until the deadline is closer.

BuzzStream (http://buzzstream.com) –Austin, TX, will consider remote for the right person

WHO WE ARE: We’re a small SaaS company based in downtown Austin that’s growing fast and that’s built a product that our customers love (http://storify.com/paulmay/buzzstream-twitter-props) We have over a thousand paying customers, our annual revenue is $1M+ and it’s doubling every year.

WHAT WE DO: BuzzStream helps marketers find and build relationships with influencers to drive traffic and build brands. Our customers include some of the most well-known brands in the world and many, many digital agencies.

We’ve just scratched the surface of the things we can do to help our customers, and we think we can grow at a much faster rate if we keep delivering on our roadmap. We need your help getting there.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We’re looking for mid to senior level software engineers, but we’re much less concerned about the specific level of experience than we are in finding people with the right attitude, ability to learn, and approach to solving problems. Part of our team works remotely, and we’re open to remote work for this position for the right person.

Our app is written in Java, deployed on Amazon’s cloud and utilizes several open source dependencies. Expert knowledge of Java and Linux are required. Experience with AWS and modern javascript technologies is a plus.

BuzzStream may be a good fit for you if...

* You want to work at a place where virtually everything you work on impacts the business and you know exactly how everything you build helps the customer.

* You don’t want to be pigeon-holed as “the guy/girl who works on the [XYZ] part of the product.” You’ll be working on every part of the product and you’ll constantly be learning.

* It’s really important to you to work on a team where every person cares deeply about building great software that solves real problems. You have no use for bureaucracy, pointless meetings, or team members that provide limited value but succeed as a result of fake hustle and strong political skills.

* You really want to learn what it takes to build a startup, but you’d rather not learn through the “I learned what not to do” method. We’ve made plenty of mistakes, but we’re past the stage of trying to figure out how to build a successful business.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, I’d love to hear from you. Please send me a resume, along with a note telling me a bit about yourself and why you’re interested in BuzzStream. You can reach me (Paul May, co-founder) at careers@buzzstream.com.

Maybe we should tell those kids in somalia to "innovate" a steak or a hamburger...

American today are living off the golden age when a man could work his way up and actually move up in life. I say actually because they had the means to do so.

If you are too poor you can't afford shit, you can't afford to go to college, to move to an area with better jobs (or less cancer) let alone dropping everything and building a startup.

Why you think YC started giving out $20k? so founders wouldn't starve during the 3 months they are skipping from work. It might be news for some here but most young people have no savings and their parents can't support them anymore.

Back in 1950 you could live off a part-time gig waiting tables while you were in college/building something, but today? don't make me laugh.
NGP VAN - Washington, DC - http://www.ngpvan.com - Senior Developer or Technical Lead

NGP VAN (https://coderwall.com/team/ngp-van) is the world’s leading political technology firm, providing campaign and organizing technology to Democrats, progressives, and non-partisan organizations. We offer an integrated platform that combines the best fundraising, compliance, organizing, and new media products available.

We are a rapidly growing company that built the voter contact and volunteer management tools used by Obama for America. Nearly every State Democratic Party in the country distributes our VoteBuilder tools to Democrats up and down the ticket, and we provide industry-leading organizing tools for labor unions, environmental groups, pro-choice advocates, civil rights activists, and international political parties across the world. Our fundraising and compliance software is used by the vast majority of Democratic candidates from the Presidential level on down, and our fast-growing new media platform has recently become the most-used platform by Democratic campaigns as well.

We have a couple of positions open in DC for experienced developers - our stack is mostly ASP.NET MVC / EF, but we have several node apps and are also using angular pretty heavily in new development.

The position offers competitive compensation and a strong benefits package. NGP VAN prides itself on being a progressive and open-minded workplace; we have a fun and relaxed company culture, including blowing off steam on a softball field, drinking in the office on Fridays, enjoying periodic company retreats to warm places with beaches, and casual Friday every day.

My thought was exactly this. People are saying Snapchat is just another stupid overnight social app, but they are failing to see that this actually has some great potential. Facebooks problem is you publish things and they are there forever for anyone to see, but Snapchat is a little clever in the sense that you can publish events for 24 hours and then they disappear. Your friends are still in the know about what you're doing, and then it's gone. I would make a bet that there aren't a lot of significant friends of others that need to see something more than once or that go back looking for an event.

This nicely fills the gap of sharing vs history.
New York - Perka

http://getperka.com/jobs

We are looking for full time engineers.

Android Engineer

You know you can have it your way. You see fragmentation as an opportunity, not the apocalypse. You went to see Jobs just to throw Jelly Beans at the screen. The apps you write at Perka will change the world.

iOS Engineer

You're ready to take the NeXTStep into Flatland. You know when to follow the rules and when to break them. You think it's hip to use square brackets. You'll write the apps that make the whole world sing.

Java Platform Engineer

You like big data and you cannot lie. Millions of transactions? No biggie. You eat NP-Complete problems for breakfast. You were born to develop in Java, and you'll be working on the hot molten core of Perka.

JavaScript Engineer

You wield the powers of the Prototype, and you're not afraid to expose your Backbone.js. You read the W3C specs over a bowl of oatmeal. Millions of users will be logging into the applications you write.

Site Reliability Engineer

You'd rather spend two hours automating a one hour task, just to be ready for next time. You check your email using Telnet. You want to be the wizard behind the Perka server curtain.

Software Test Engineer

You love to break stuff. There's a glitch in the Matrix and you know where it is. You're beyond detail-oriented, and if you order it with extra pickles, there better be extra pickles.

Apply using our API.
tree-frog is also a framework that needs to be included. It is based on c++ and follows rails thinking. So you get both rails way of doing things and c++ performance.
Do you have a link to the other framework implementations of the todo app? I'm fairly sure that an angular implementation should be less code than the riot version.
You are right, I will include a TOC to the page.

Developing good 3D printing software is hard. Sometimes NP hard. This can mean attacking the legendary salesman problem, the trunk packing problem, orientation and structure optimization problems, as well as mesh topological characterization and reconstruction.

Ah, so you are being obtuse.

But to answer your question, if he is attempting to prevent you from speaking out then, yes, it applies.

You seem lost, I'm not speaking of preventing you from stating your opinion. I'm speaking about your desire to prevent him from stating his.
One thing I'd suggest is you stop animating the charts - clicking on one and then waiting for it to draw left to right may look pretty but is pretty annoying when I want to actually look at data!
yeah so true!
These bubbles (housing, social web) are ways for rich people to give money to each other. But it's a zero-sum game (true value-creators like engineers are second-class citizens in the contemporary VC-funded world; they can't even buy houses) so someone is losing.

The lower-middle-class gets strip-mined. The upper-middle-class gets entertainment (cf. Valleywag) to make stagnation bearable.

It annoys me that people can't keep their phones in working order, you have paid hundreds of dollars on this piece of equipment and you treat it like a piece of shit and in 6 months you complain that it doesn't work??
Maybe if you had treated it like the delicate piece of machinery that it is it wouldn't have broken.

It's a blatant disregard for money and it annoys me deeply when I see someone throwing their 5 inches of glass on the table without a thought.
