Software developers at all experience levels. Front end web, back end, big data, iOS/Android. We don't care what languages you know, as long as you're highly skilled in at least one. We use agile and tend to use the same kinds of technologies you'd see in your typical YC startup. Email me if interested:

No, but once the instrumentation is in place to collect it, by Google or anybody else, it's fair game for various governments to use it to do just that.

What would the alternative be? To have Google et al be above the law?

You can't have it both ways. If you give up your data, you give up your data. You can't just give it up for special purposes. You don't get to choose. (And neither does Google or whoever is on the other end of the transaction)

You could even take all government influence out of it and still have problems. Companies could just buy up each other, pay for illegal data transfers, and so on. That's kinda the point here. A tiny little piece of data like my email to Aunt Claire this morning is almost completely worthless. Almost. But zillions of pieces, accumulating day-by-day? The value, in both monetary and intelligence terms, just keeps going up. Every day the economics of getting that data, by hook or crook, changes in favor of it being lost. And once it's lost, in most cases it's lost forever. There's no "going back" to having the data private again. That's an unsustainable system.

How about this version from over a decade ago? Regardless of what you get to run inside it (we can substitute lots of stuff for the JVM used here), the form/style of it is simple and fits with habits that people already have.

The right is nice, too, in that it's harder to accidentally leave someplace, yet CAN be removed if absolutely needed. (unlike some biometrics, where "mugging you and taking your wallet/keys/pubkey-ring" can turn into "mugging you and taking your finger".

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan (INTERN yes, REMOTE/H1B no)

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

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

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US

- Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
In the past few months, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside
PhoneGap), Angular.js, Ruby (of course) and a little bit of Java and C#.

- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design.

- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

- 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

- If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

- A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

- You love writing software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

- You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, send me your resume/CV and a little bit about why you’re interested:

Not sure why this is hitting Hacker News now, but it's an excellent book about game design and designing given the constraints of hardware. Highly recommended.
I've tried to understand what´s so special with react from the project's home examples, but it seems to me like an api similar to angularjs's directives, only using javascript to build the widget´s html instead of a template. Could anyone here with an experience of the two enlighten me?

Edit : to be more precise, i've written fairly complex directives in angular and i don't understand the problem react is better solving. Synchronisation between dom and model is something you have to deal with manually anyway since it often includes validations rules and default behaviors, that can't be guessed easily ( invalid user input, no value appearance, etc..)

Yeah dude. I'll ping you when I'm back in my "natural habitat" next week.
That being said, frappuccino is hoveringly close to being generic and therefor not a trademark anymore. I've certainly seen other stores offering a product of the same name, or at last customers asking for a drink of the same. They do certainly need to be seen to be actively defending if they don't want to lose it.
I don't know who you are, so shoot me an email. :) My contact info is in my HN profile.
Same here. In real classes, I get distracted by people's flow. I was utterly shy in college and couldn't interact well with people at all, not the best environment to exchange ideas or even think. [1]

I personally like to learn in isolation, I have a tendency to quickly ~plagiarize ideas of others thinking I understand, so learning alone in my room is better.

Inspiring teachers I've met fits on one hand fingers.

I enrolled on many MOOCs, dropped right away from 50% of them (acute click-itis), got late halfway and dropped 25% (but what I could got was solid improvements), finished the rest with many worthy discoveries and good exercises, surrounded by interesting encounters interactions on IRC.

[1] I'd like to add that an unconfident student will have difficulties with teachers too. Small politics, personal preferences and shallow details will play against you. Think submitting a shitty looking but concise self-critical .pdf summary of your project vs a nicely printed and shiny report but full of fluff.
React not playing well with JQuery or others seems like it makes React something of an all or nothing proposition.

Otherwise, it seems like an interesting approach.
The spying goes far beyond webmail. Most people haven't agreed to have their phone calls tapped, or backdoors put into networking hardware and encryption standards.
perhaps it is related to this point, since that bug causes the algorithm to get "stuck".

Why wasn't this bug caught in the FIPS 140-2 validation testing?
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Not only the original validation (#1747) but many subsequent validations
and platforms have successfully passed the CAVP[5] algorithm tests ...
several hundred times now. That's a lot of fail.

In test mode the implementation works fine both with and without
additional data. In free running mode the bug is triggered by additional
data on the first call, which is done automatically by the "FIPS capable"
OpenSSL.

Frankly the FIPS 140-2 validation testing isn't very useful for catching
"real world" problems.
A "frappe" was originally(?) the Boston/New England term for what others normally call a milk shake. In Boston, some took "milk shake" to mean just flavored milk. You don't see the frappe term used in this context much any longer but it was still fairly common when the Coffee Connection chain was around.

Ann Arbor, MI preferred, remote possible.

Senior developer at Alfa Jango (http://www.alfajango.com). We build startups. We act as CTO and development team for startups that need it. We also spend a fair amount of time working on our internal and open source projects. We're a small team of 4 looking to grow to a slightly less small team of 5.

We use mostly Ruby and JavaScript, but always looking for the best tool for the job.

I got started with React on a project last week. It's magic when it works, but initially it takes some thinking to figure out how all the components should fit together, and where the interactions should take place. It took me a while to figure out that my interactions on one component might trigger a method that should belong on a parent component a few levels up, and to have to pass that method down in the props for the child to call.

React provides a syntax called JSX that looks a lot like regular HTML, but is transformed into native JS before it hits the React engine. It's brilliant, but requires node somewhere along the line to do the transformation. I got stung by this — building a Rails app, and Rails on Heroku ships with an ancient version of Node that causes the transformer to error out.
Solution in the works (https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-ruby/pull/177), but if you're using Rails and Heroku, stay away from JSX for now
New York - Software Engineer

VFiles is the hippest and foulest-mouth fashion startup around. Our shop[1] is the most relevant fashion destination in New York today, our YouTube shows[2] are insanely popular, and we want you to help us bring our social media site to life.

We are looking to add one or two more engineers to our current team of two (in a company of about twenty). Every engineer here will be full-stack, though we're happy to have someone who leans to one side or the other and is eager to learn. Technologies we use include Ruby, Haskell, Angular, Coffeescript, Redis, and more. As part of our team, you will have both a strong voice in the vision and direction of our product and a good deal of autonomy and control in the specific projects you work on.

As for fringe benefits, we throw the most talked about parties in town (hosted by A$AP Mob and crashed by Kendrick Lamar), we have company trips to Montauk, we organize funky Soul Cycle rides with famous designers and models, and we're invited to pretty much everything happening, culture-wise, in New York. You'll work with a diverse group of people with a number of skillsets, all of whom - editorial, video, design - are at the very top of their game.

We can only consider candidates eligible to work full-time in the US who live or are planning to move to New York City at this time.

You can write the Chief Engineer directly at tim (a) vfiles (dot) com to express your interest.

ENGINEERING POSITIONS

We have two types of engineering positions available - systems and product.

Systems engineers[1] build and scale our infrastructure, and write mostly C, C++, and Python. These are the people working on our custom datastore. This position requires at least 2 years of experience writing systems software. Solid C experience is a plus.

Product engineers[2] build the parts people interact with - reporting interfaces, APIs, dataviz stuff, and more - and write mostly Python, JS, and LESS. This position requires at least 2 years of software engineering experience, no specialization required. Solid JS experience is a plus though.

The engineering team is still small (8), and there's a lot of interesting stuff to do. Happy to talk details.

If you are interested, drop me a line - tim@mixpanel.com. If you include [HN Who's Hiring] in the subject I'll be able to get back to you faster :)

Eyeo, the company behind Adblock Plus, is looking for web developers, Android developers, C++ developers and DevOps engineers.

We're in the middle of changing the world of online advertising for the better, and there's lots of work to do. We're also experimenting with new, supplementary ways of content monetisation.

What we do is disruptive and controversial, and we've had our share of bad press in the past. Much of it lies, but there's also legitimate criticism we need to address. We do this by being as open as we can possibly be, which is what we believe we ought to do anyway. Mozilla is pretty close to what we want Eyeo to be, and we'll get there.

Drop me a line at felix@adblockplus.org if you're up for all this, I'd love to hear from you. Please include a list of notable open source projects you are contributing to or have contributed to. We're an open source project, so that'd be a big plus.
