ClassDojo

FULLTIME in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

ClassDojo is used by over 15mm teachers and students to manage behavior in the classroom, using real time feedback and rewards that can also be shared with parents. We're an edtech startup with funding some of the biggest names in the valley (Jeff Clavier, Ron Conway, General Catalyst, Mitch Kapor...), and we're one of the fastest growing education companies of all time. We're the only non-YC company that Paul Graham has ever invested in.

We've built a product that makes a real difference and gets huge engagement with millions of kids, and we're about to take it to the next level, hopefully with you on board. We have a strong team, an extremely comfortable and relaxed environment and great salary + benefits. If you're a strong hacker who wants to use JavaScript to change the world, apply here:

https://classdojo.wufoo.com/forms/join-classdojo/

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

Or email jobs@classdojo.com. You can read about the work and environment here: http://www.classdojo.com/jobs

We're particularly looking for:

* Frontend Engineer

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

What's the role?

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

At the core of ClassDojo is a node.JSON API built on node.js which makes use of multiple services and handles hundreds of requests per second. The frontend web application talks to this API, and it's a single page app that uses our own (soon to be open-sourced) JS framework - mojo.js - which combines the best bits of Backbone, Ember and Angular. That means great templating with powerful and efficient data-binding, but plenty of flexibility to build apps quickly. You'll work on this and other awesome tools, and you'll build a lot of user-facing features that go out to millions of kids around the world every day. It's pretty rare to have impact like this, and as much freedom as we'll give you. Everyone on our team agrees that this is the most exciting phase of the company that we've seen, and we're growing so quickly that we're all very eager to meet and work with you!

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

What skills are we looking for?

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

* This is primarily an engineering role, rather than being design or CSS focused. We'd like you to be really strong on JavaScript fundamentals, up-to-date with modern JS engineering, and familiar with advanced DOM manipulation.

* Having said that, some minimal design chops would be cool...

* ...but not essential. We do have designers.

* A good sense of product and a desire to have a creative role in designing product features is important to us.

* You love building things well and building them quickly - like us!

The best way to show this off is to point to things you've built. We'd love to see personal projects which demonstrate the above.

Is this you? Apply here:

That statement said nothing about one person, but a ruling class. Look at every primate species. They all have a hierarchy of some fashion. Do you honestly believe that our ability to be really successful at breeding and exploiting the resources around us really make us exempt from natural selection?

Software developer, Stat.io - Cambridge UK, or REMOTE

Stat.io is building a web application that lets people use open data to improve decision-making. Our vision is to aggregate data from hundreds of open data portals, which can then be accessed in one place. You can see a very early demo of the application over here:

http://www.stat.io/dev/

The challenge is to understand millions of datasets from many different sources, from APIs to Excel files, and then provide an interface that allows users to find the data they're interested in.

The main technologies we're using for data processing are Python and MySQL, with a bit of Redis and MongoDB for some simple queueing and logging respectively. We're open to using any technologies if it helps get us closer to our vision. For instance, there's a good chance that alternative data stores to MySQL would be a better fit for the problems we face.

We're looking for a software developer to join us, initially part-time. If you're interested or have any questions, get in touch: contact@stat.io.

You can find out more about us on our website: http://www.stat.io/
Well, it would be more than a little difficult since riot does nothing without the support of jQuery.

And, you know, the reason it's < 1k is that it doesn't really seem to do anything jQuery can't do with about the same amount of boilerplate.
I think MythBusters might have done something on this? Would be interesting to see how the aerodynamics of the cover impacted what sort of force was necessary to get it to escape velocity.
Chrome is not in fact open-source.

Chromium is open-source, but lacks various functionality Chrome has (e.g. the PDF reader, and soon I expect playback of Netflix videos, since I doubt Google will be open-sourcing their CDM). Chromium is also supporting Flash via NPAPI, not Pepper, which Google is planning to kill off.

ChromeOS has similar issues with Netflix, at the very least: the open-source parts can't do it.

The difference being, surely, that Snapchat has 26million users, not 26million customers.

That said, it may very well be worth $4billion, or north thereof. The article concedes that it's difficult to speculate from the outside (and thus labels it "insane"), but fails to concede the simple point that it may be entirely justified.
I've noticed with Firefox (17 ESR) that, having once used Firebug to delete the 'autocomplete="no"' attribute on a password field and then submitted the form, it's not necessary to do so again; in whatever heuristic Firefox uses to determine how to behave in that case, the existence of auto-completion data for the field apparently overrides the advice given by the attribute. For those leery of adding still more extensions to a Firefox profile already well larded with them, this may be useful information.
Yes, CS students in North America intern in NYC (housing provided) and CS students in UK/EU intern in London. We visit a lot of schools and interview in person (I can be found at the MIT events), but you are also free to apply online and we'll bring candidates to the office after a phone screen.
"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."

But things aren't as "sticky" as they used to be. You used to have to rent your phone from the telco, and you had no alternative providers. Today, users can drop their telco carrier and switch to a variety of alternatives - bring their number with them, or switch to VOIP altogether and keep similar functionality without a noticeable loss of functionality. The same is true for the app of the moment. Maybe it'll be hot for awhile, but the barrier to entering the marketplace is so dramatically reduced that it's difficult to see the same type of longevity from today's companies that you've seen from the previous generation of big businesses.
why use riot when you could just pull in a router, an event emitter, and a model?

Like taxes, this will likely be a largely individual endeavor. Maybe there will be PSAs, but their effectiveness is questionable. Many people (and the politicians who signed it!) don't know the enrollment requirements, subsequent responsibilities, and consequences for failure to comply.

Everyone is fighting over the validity and constitutionality of this law, instead of informing the public about what they need to do to avoid financial penalties. The debate will rage on no matter what, but whether or not you agree with this law (and I don't), the priority right now should be to help people make an informed decision about their compliance.
This is a nice academic exercise but isn't very useful for real world apps. The logicless "views" alone make building anything complex impossible.

One of the reasons this is so light is that it forces you to write boilerplate code for models. I use libs to eliminate boilerplate, not force it upon me.
AMA Capital -- Palo Alto, CA. Full time. H1B okay.

AMA Capital trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange markets.

We are all engineers, and we all do a little bit of everything, designing and implementing our own trading strategies and infrastructure. We are a very small team (I am the only employee) and want to add one or two engineers who will focus on strategy and/or on infrastructure. No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.

An example of an infrastructure project is designing and building a system for logging to non-volatile memory. We generate large logs that cover everything from prices to transaction data. NVDIMMs are a form of RAM that survives power loss, and such hardware has been on the horizon for a while, but it is just now becoming available to early adopters. Writes to NVDIMMs will be nearly instantaneous and immediately durable. This project will be to develop an NVDIMM-based system that simultaneously functions as a log, an IPC mechanism, and a searchable database for analysis. Making this work will involve a number of pieces: kernel drivers, CPU cache control, lock-free synchronization, a daemon to write everything back to long-term (i.e. less expensive) storage, and more. If this works well, we plan to open-source all the pieces.

What kind of a setup does one use to take a picture like the Playstation controller in the article?
I'm happy for patent war to go nuclear. It desperately needs reform and neutering; and if lawsuits like these can motivate some big-tech companies like, say, Google to start lobbying seriously for patent reform then this exactly what the world needs.

And by lobbying seriously I don't mean a couple of million that were spent on some other activities - if such companies are eager to spend amount such as 4 billion or 12 billion on purchases that include zero benefit to their products&customers, but simply as patent war ammunition&defense; then I'd expect that they can easily spend hundreds of millions in campaign contributions to extuinguish the patent war as such.

We don't need bigcorps accumulating frivolous patents to ensure mutually assured destruction - it doesn't work that well as a deterrant, and it is used against smaller corporations. We need disarmament.

We're an eyewear company looking for engineers to help architect and build our API, which powers eyeglass orders for fashion brands.

Our stack is Python (Flask) and MongoDB. Including bits of Celery, nginx, and uwsgi. We do a lot of integration with the UPS (in fact, we maintain an open-source UPS library [1]).

We're building our API and internal dashboards (which we use heavily to process orders, eyewear prescriptions, customer information, gift cards, etc.)

Perhaps because of the sticker shock and because, if you can get them, pre ACA plans are cheaper and offer more value. For example if you go to ehealthinsurance.com and compare the lowest cost pre-ACA 2013 plans with ACA-compliant 2014 plans for a healthy individual in their late 20's early thirties you get the following very affordable options pre-ACA...

BlueCross BlueShield;
Deductible: $5,000,
Co-Insurance: 0%,
Doctor Visit: 1-2 $30 co-pay deductible waved,
Cost: $98 /month

BlueCross BlueShield;
Deductible: $5,000,
Co-Insurance: 0%,
Doctor Visit: 1-2 $30 co-pay deductible waved,
Cost: $66 /month,

The closest ACA compliant option to the above...

BlueCross BlueShield;
Deductible: $6,000,
Co-Insurance: 0%,
Doctor Visit: no charge after deductible,
Cost: $130 /month

So in summary you are looking at paying somewhere between 32% and 97% more money, and don't get the benefit of 1-2 low cost doctors visits per year.
That's true. But I think while the "infrastructure" argument explains a lot why Sweden has done well "in average", it does not explain why there are more billionaires than average. I think that is more due to individual drive and entrepenureal spirit of Persson, Kamprad and Rausing.
Here's a source[1] for the sibling commenter. But there's a key difference - AFAIK Romneycare didn't start having to dig itself out of a hole of millions of people losing coverage as well.

Look I am the first to be upset at how much healthcare.gov management and dev sucked.

But I don't give a darn how many signed up on the first day.

I care how many sign up by December 31st.

Then we can discuss enrollment problems.
This was the first "successful" site that I launched. Took me about a month to develop originally, and launched it last year on Black Friday. Subsequently sold the business to a competitor and still operate it for them as a side job. Have put quite a bit of time into it over the past year and just had a relaunch with a new backend system.

Basically direct user-to-user trading via the postal service. You sell your games for virtual currency that you use to buy games from other folks. We used to charge for it, but now it's free with a limited ability to get cash for your currency if you can't find anything to buy.

Running on Heroku, RoR, Bootstrap (as if it isn't obvious), with plenty of other open source tech behind it.

Any questions, feel free to ask.
It only makes sense the closer the viewer distance the higher the PPI. I view my cell phone normally at less than 8" away. My laptop at maybe 14" away. My desktop at 30"+ away. For people with less than great vision even 1080P at 24" is pushing things. The places you see larger PPI monitors are in medical situations etc. where people need to be able to get much closer to the screen than normal use to examine high quality images.

It doesn't have to be one or the other, it can be both. A system that does it's best to prevent abuse, and individuals who do not seek out ways to abuse it, combined make a best case scenario.
Just to provide a second point of reference, I'm a relatively recent dev hire at Likeable Local and it's been a really good choice for me. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has, as well, so feel free to reach out to me.
With all due respect, they are already suffering as if they had done this, so I think they have little to lose by actually doing it.
