GoCardless (YC S11) is hiring senior software engineers and web operations engineers in London.

We're a fast-growing online payments startup that makes it really simple to collect money with Direct Debit. We've been around for 2 and half years, and are now a team of 25. We're backed by a bunch of top-tier investors (inc. Y Combinator, Accel, Balderton), pay very competitive salaries, and will shortly be moving in to a shiny new office.

We're looking to hire senior software developers to work on our core product, and web operations engineers to scale & manage our infrastructure. We've got lots of interesting challenges to solve this year: building the next generation of our product to handle the growth we're seeing, finding more intelligent ways to fraud-assess our merchants and customers, expanding what we do to work internationally (we're already beta-testing a European expansion).

There's plenty more information at https://gocardless.com/jobs. If you're interested in finding out more, email me at harry@gocardless.com.
FoodRunner - Singapore, Manila and Kuala Lumpur - Full Time

http://foodrunner.com.sg/

We're building a team to help South East Asia's largest food delivery companies get the most out of technology. Everything from better websites and mobile applications, to order processing, coordination and communication.

Passion trumps specific skills/tech. There's currently a lot of RoR, but we plan on introducing significant components in other languages. Full stack with some specialisation is the best fit right now, as well as 1 or 2 more front-end and/or design focused developers.
Those are pretty fancy conclusions to draw from the fact that one's brain is wired for religion, in the same way it is wired to make you jump if something that could be a snake moves in your field of vision, or to think that one's luck will change.

We have a inherited a lot of propensity toward various delusions from our ancestors. Sometimes we can make a decision not to wallow in them. Are you sure it is a morally defensible position to, even tacitly, encourage such delusions?
Russian upper house approves use of force in Ukraine
It boggles the mind. By the time I graduate I will owe about 1 year's projected income (about $70k) and I think that's a pretty good return.

If a dentist can make back nearly half a million then something needs to be done about the cost of dentristry, something doesn't add up.
If Google used the OSM data, they'd risk being forced to share their mapping data - OSM is distributed under a share and share-a-like style license. There are probably ways around it, but Google regards their map data as being core to their business & they've spent $billions on it. There's no way they're going to risk that.

Apple is using OSM data from before the change to the new licence if theirs is from 2010. Google could do the same, but what would be the point?
Is shipping really a significant part of the environmental impact of making electronics in China and selling them in the US? Shipping is way more efficient per mile than most other forms of transport, and IIUC much of the environmental impact of devices comes from disposing of them and the toxic chemicals they contain.
So stop letting the government guarantee the loans. Watch how the prices fall once only a small fraction can afford to take a $200,000 loan to pay for their college, afterwards. US colleges have been spoiled. That's why prices are so high.
You do hear laments and expressions of despair over the state of things from feminists, though. To claim otherwise would be, well...
Math: Your Secret Weapon Against Wall Street and the NSA
Nonsense, turning away from knowledge of God brought us the Age of Enlightenment. Apart from a few bumps in the road, I'd say humanity is way better off.
Somebody near you might be saying; "Co-founder keeps droning on about development buzzwords while I am still trying to bang out a minimum viable product. Time for structure when we have our first hire."

The truth might be somewhere in between but worrying about bloated code while at an early stage must just be counter-productive. You might find something to add rather than something to maintain.

Yes, the US government, $41.7B last year.
It looks to me like it was all organized from the start: If using the economic pressure of gas prices wasn't enough to keep Ukraine in the Russian sphere of influence, they were ready to seize Crimea and maybe something more...
College tuition is the perfect alignment of the stars, economically speaking. There's no new supply of public universities. Reputations are extremely sticky. A college degree is often a job requirement.
The highest paying jobs mostly recruit out of the top universities, so students are extremely price inelastic at certain levels. The government subsidizes student loans at artificially low rates. More and more foreign students want to attend US universities. Etc.

Hell, it's almost a surprise that college tuition hasn't grown at an even faster pace. In ten years this is going to become a serious national issue and I think you'll see the federal government step in to cap the tuition increases. It's gonna happen.

SEEKING WORK - Chicago area or remote

Full-stack web developer and freelancer with 10 years of experience and a math background looking for work in the Chicago area. So far I’ve specialized on digital startups, and have worked with clients out of Chicago’s 1871. Throughout my work I’ve also been involved in helping startups build the back end of their application, design and optimize their websites and develop their business. Interested in short and long term projects.

Primary Specialties:

- MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular.js, Node.js)

- LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), including Wordpress

- Server set up on: CentOS, Solaris, Ubuntu, and Debian

- Data analysis in R and SAS

All of my development is responsive. In the past, I’ve worked on e-commerce sites, social networks, mobile versions of websites, and other projects. Here are some publicly available examples:

http://loadcost.com - Node.js (JavaScript), data analysis model written in R

http://yolobe.com - Node.js (JavaScript)

http://foundintown.com - PHP

References from past clients available. If you are interested, email me at: robert.haidari@gmail.com
Am I less honest than a "spiritual advisor?" More elitist than a Straussian?
Copyright. They can, but OSM is open content, and Google Maps would have to release their own data too.

The OSM fan in me thinks that eventually Google Maps will be based on OSM. :)
At what point do these students realize the cost indicates they should stay from that school? Like, "Oh wait, even though X is a better school than Y, it will cost 5x more, and my starting salary will only be 5% less." Is that happening? It just seems some of these people are naive. Another example is ones that are unaware of the economy of the city they aspire to live in, and get a degree with little value in that city. And then they're unemployed...

Now that doesn't mean the college system isn't flawed or unfair. I think that it is. But some of the discussion should be on how we tell young adults to best navigate their way through the system, as it exists at present. Picking your dream school, a "good" school, whatever, should not be independent of some analysis on what the return on investment is. For students that can do that, there are still opportunities out there... I say that because I've made decisions where I got in but didn't go to my dream school. It sucks. But the extra value from the quality of the education didn't seem worth $100k in debt once I get on the job market.
Kira Talent (https://www.kiratalent.com) - Toronto, Canada

At Kira Talent, we help organizations find exception talent through video.

A bit about us:

- we’re a small team (you’d be #15), based in the heart of downtown Toronto;
check us out at www.kiratalent.com/about/

- we’re had paying clients since day 1 of the company, and are well funded

- we’re hiring both mobile and backend developers

- we believe that even enterprise software can be beautiful,
and pride ourselves on our design

- every single one of our developers have committed code within their
first day at work (some within their first hour), and because
we love continuous deployment, so we're constantly pushing to
production and seeing the impact of our work

Here’s some stuff we’ve been working on lately:

- building infrastructure to allow us to scale our video recording
and streaming; imagine thousands of applicants from countries
all around the world submitting video interviews right before a deadline

- designing and creating our mobile suite for both job candidates and
employers alike

- presenting analytics data captured in our product to the end user,
and our team internally

Our toolkit involves Python (Django), JavaScript (jQuery, AngularJS), MySQL (and some MongoDB), Celery, RabbitMQ, Wowza Media Server. We use AWS for hosting, CircleCI for continuous integration and GitHub for everything else (i.e. code reviews, issue tracking).

If this sounds fun, let’s chat! My name is Konrad, I'm the co-founder/CTO, and you can send me a note at konrad@kiratalent.com. :)
Science funding has devolved back to Feudal times, where an aspiring scientist must gain the favour of wealthy barons to support his research. Because of course by capitalist reasoning, science as a pursuit has no immediate returns on investment, thereby being a frivolous waste of time.

Honestly, I don't know if this insanity will ever stop in our lifetimes. Profiteering has now become the number one profession of the developed world, and anything that does not generate short term profit is seen as wasteful. I increasingly fantasize about the days of the Manhattan and Apollo projects, where the state treated science as critical to its survival.

Let's look at ourselves: how many brilliant people are now scrambling to make web/social/mobile apps in hopes of getting acquired or hitting their IPO? Is this what these people would do if left to their own devices? Or would they become fascinated with the eternal undertaking of science, and make breakthroughs in fields which would change the way we understand the world?

All the brilliant people I know have admitted defeat, along the lines of "If you can't beatem, joinem." The only way they see research in their future is if they can become the next Bill Gates or Zuck, and have billions to spend at their discretion.

This is an extremely sad development. An entire generation of aspiring scientists (myself included) are shut out of the system, while parasites such as administrators and rent seekers suck the last bits of life from the dying government funding apparatus that they have successfully gamed.

Science is the eternal pursuit of truth. It is the very thing which distinguishes us as a species. The quest to understand ourselves and the universe is a fundamental drive of every human being which should be nurtured from birth. Increasingly, however, scientific pursuit is relegated to the sidelines in the quest for pure capitalism. A society focused upon profiteering can only have one end: fiscal and moral bankruptcy.

That's not the only reason that costs are increasing and to imply that it is, is dishonest.
Soon we will start seeing news of young graduates committing crime to pay off their student loans. Heck, it would be interesting to see a movie with this plot line.
What popped out for me was different:

- A cool trick by the headteacher is to be available: to be at the school gate at the start and end of every day.

- Wisdom by the conciliator: stress is created when people aren't in control.

- Diver: reads; and being tired helps restore calm.

- TV guest booker: people have their own demons, which have a habit of appearing when they're faced with going on live TV. And then... experience teaches you that taking a philosophical approach is best.

- If you were to read only one story, don't miss the A&E consultant's: I'm having conversations with people that they will probably never have with any other human being, and that's a great privilege.

There's also a striking parallel in something he said: the stress in A&E is about me not having control. So I think it's important to have a hobby where you do have complete control. If programming is a hobby where you do have complete control, what does it say about the people it attracts?

Exactly my thought when I read that. $400,000 for dentist? Heck some people don't even give them as much respect as they give to other kind of doctors. Some say they aren't even doctors.

No wonder people go to India or Eastern Europe to get their teeth replaced.

Russian parliament approves troop deployment in Ukraine
"Complete"? How complete? The OSM dump is about 33GB compressed...
Game of Thrones is available on both iTunes and Amazon Instant Video for $2.99 SD / $3.99 HD per episode. I'm not sure if that counts as "failing to adapt to new media distribution".
I just happened to tune in to PBS last night (KLRU) and was shocked at the spamvertizements for 3 or 4 "Doctor" based self-help shows coming up this weekend.

What has happened to the last bastion of quality programming in the US?

I've been living in a bubble of streaming for the last few years.
Interesting, sounds like Scala could fit the bill, algebraic data types and macros included ;-)

Plethora of type safe query libraries to choose from as well. No easy interop with .NET, however.

Saying that, why not LINQ-to-SQL or whatever the latest and greatest is from Microsoft, Performance?
I have question how young students can give legal consent for such loan? Most teenagers can not legally drink or have a sex, but they can agree to this sort of commitment?
I'm William Riley-Land, software engineer, and founder of Kun.io App Studio LLC. https://linkedin.com/in/willprl

I am the author of an open source module called Baucis https://github.com/wprl/baucis

I'm also looking to work with an assistant developer for various project management and systems admin tasks.

Please visit http://kunio.acuityscheduling.com or email me at william@kun.io if you would like to talk about a project or collaboration.
RT (of course) gives such a different view from Western media, it may as well be a completely different story. Right now, for example, it tells how "armed extremists sent from Kiev tried to seize government buildings in Crimea".
> Does OSM have bike paths?

Yep. It even has a cycle specific map view (go to openstreetmap.org, and select Cycle Map from the Layers on the right hand side).

Bus & train scheduled, not so much, since companies don't release that that often.

Americans could do the same, go abroad, get a degree and come back.
Russia just cannot lose Crimea. It was silly for EU and especially US pols to think Ukraine could be snatched from Putin wholesale (and using neonazis, no less).
I am glad this has finally got to the top of HN. People should be aware of the fact that a part of sovereign country is being aggressively annexed by their neighbor. And there is virtually no opposition to Putin in Russia.
A list of top Rails gems, suggestions?
Does anyone have resources for top downloaded Rails gems?
No-one said they should take the data and not contribute back anything. Except OSM in their license of course, http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright (well it's attribution anyway).

Either a bit a fraction of a percent of a days profit or some data for OSM, sure either would be most acceptable.
That sound you hear is the collective gasp of iOS developers who just learned they have to support another display resolution (and the second sound is the unsympathetic snort of Android people).
That explains the bitcoin thefts.
It's not "a risk". If they use OSM, they must release their map data they mix it with too.
