Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (we also love interns, and remote is a possibility)

We're a small, non-profit tech startup trying to give a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. We're making a big mobile push and need your help.

Here's a testimonial we received recently:

==================================

Hi! My name is Chelsie and I'm a college student. When I was 19 years old I was kicked out of a great university because I had terrible grades. My disappointed parents cut me off financially so I began working night shifts to support myself. The truth is, I had no desire to go to school because learning had always seemed very distant from reality to me. ... Success in school felt like something you either had or you didn't, and I had been getting Cs since middle school….I stumbled across [your] videos about math. I HATED math. I watched them anyway. I don't know why, but I did. I loved them. I continued watching videos- chemistry, programming, physics. I'm 24 now, and I'm in college pursuing a degree in computer engineering. I have straight As. Sal's videos made me feel like I had the capacity for understanding math and science even though my parents never sent me to space camp and I never won a ribbon at a science fair in elementary school...

==================================

Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who're thankful for free, high-quality educational content.

Most of you reading this are familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers, partnerships with organizations like MoMA and the California Academy of Sciences, and a huge library of interactive exercises. Over 20 million math problems are done every week on our site.

And now we're doing a big mobile push. Around 20% of our traffic comes from phones and tablets. We're totally overhauling our iOS app.

If you join us now, you can be a core developer on an app that is guaranteed to have millions of users. We have loads of high-quality educational content just waiting to be shared within a great product. We have partnerships lined up around the block to promote your work. We just need you.

You'll be part of a small team working alongside both "celebrity" devs (like jQuery creator John Resig and Google's first employee Craig Silverstein) and many more of us normal folk ;) you haven't heard of but who are workin' hard to help education.

JS Unconf – The JavaScript Unconference
SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area / Remote - Long or Short Term Consultation

I am a Product Designer (Interaction Design/UI/UX). I have experience relevant to products from iOS & Android to Large Web Platforms. I typically consult on or perform the following:

- Product management - strategy, best practices, team building, implementation.

- Product design - strategy, best practices, team building, process, interaction design, ui design, iconography.

- Front end dev - I tend to build most things I spec at the very least to a minimum in which there is no chance of fidelity loss from prototype to final product. I've also setup processes for growing teams and established best practices for new hires.

- iOS design/dev

Moveline (moveline.com) - REMOTE or Las Vegas, NV

TLDR: remote workers, full-stack, JS, Node, Angular, Express, Mongo, Holacracy, Golang, Redis, Grunt, Bower, LESS, web + mobile

Moveline is transforming an industry older than the internal combustion engine. We ship every day and play Settlers on Fridays.

We’re looking for a solid full-stack engineer who loves Settlers of Catan, remote development, and can tell the difference between an IPA and a Lager.

About Us

- Driven to build software that dramatically improves the customer experience, end-to-end, around moving. Our web product is at the heart of it

- Well-funded by a group of world-class of investors and advisors: (angel.co/moveline)

- Our organization is flexible and embraces the Holacracy model of governance. Self-determination is encouraged and self-motivation is essential.

- Have only begun to tackle the problem space. Serious fun and challenges still lie ahead.

- Our stack is primarily MEAN — Mongo/Express/Angular/Node — with some Golang on the backend. We regularly evaluate new tools and technologies for development advantages and not just because they are new and cool.

About You

- Fluent in Javascript and comfortable jumping between client and server side development

- Passionate about code, development practices, and maintainable solutions and want to work with others who are similarly so. You can’t sleep at night knowing something is not DRY and unit-tested

- Architected and developed end-to-end products that are currently running business applications in a production environment

- Energized when working closely with others on a small team

- Want to build stuff that solves real human problems

- Can explain the differences, chemical and philosophical, between a lager and an IPA

- Don’t care if the moving industry isn’t sexy

- Would rather make money than make the front page of TechCrunch (though we do that too)

Compensation

Market salary and meaningful equity is available. We’re primarily a remote engineering team, with the company (ops, marketing, customer service) based in Las Vegas in the heart of Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project. Hackers in Vegas or remote in the US welcome. Full Time or Contract-to-Hire only please. No freelancers or recruiters need apply.
It's not a talking point: Svoboda and Pravyi Sektor are right-wing extremist groups with racist tendencies, just look them up on Wikipedia. The first act from their new government was to revoke a law granting language rights to Russian and Hungarian minorities.

Just because Putin is a bad actor, it doesn't mean his enemies are good actors.
Note to any future academic paper writers: Please include a date in your paper. Thanks.

Judging from Norvig's employment, this is at least 10 years old. And also from SILK, which later evolved to JScheme, which is now used in e.g. Scheme Droid interpreter for Android.
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) looking to add one or two engineers focusing 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 covering 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.

Oh, man - there's a t-shirt for you. Just add the AT&T and NSA logo...
I don't see why it wouldn't. I guess it would have to use the private DNS though. Currently it uses the public DNS for the instance to connect. It will only use the private DNS if the public doesn't exist. Should be an easy change to make it configurable so you can set it to always use the private.
If large players routinely pay top specialists low wages, they will cease to be large pretty soon, since their talent will be leaving for players paying better money and making those players large instead. Some people, of course, are impatient and want their enormous wage to be even more enormous - and now! And they want it while carrying no risk at all. That's where politicians come in - delivering other people's money while moving risk to somebody else is their specialty. Of course, their primary clientele is the same large players, but minor politicians are not above serving smaller audiences and endorsing extensive and complex regulations that would cost large players a tiny bit of their profits while making compliance so hard that smaller players would find it very expensive to compete. Which is all for good, so politicians can proceed with their good work. At the end, everybody wins - impatient people get a tiny bit of cash from large players, lawyers get a huge pile of cash from large players for managing the lawsuits, large players get higher barriers to entry, politicians get votes for restoring the order and everything is great because nobody ever asks where the money comes from.

are ninjas well known for being good at searching?
Although, that has its own drawbacks! I got used to google maps telling me about service changes on the subway (it's pretty good about warning about planned service changes), and I found myself getting angry at maps when I found out the PATH had a planned service change that maps didn't warn me about.

Unreasonable, yes, I know - but something worth sharing I thought, since if you get into the realm of "transportation data" it's kinda gotta be all-or-nothing, I think.
Very interesting. If you haven't tried grepping the files in your git repository (as opposed to using regular `grep` or your editor's search function, which doesn't ignore files outside version control), it's surprisingly powerful.

I wasn't aware that `git grep` was as customizable as is shown in the article. I tend to use `ag` (the silver searcher) instead of regular grep, which besides being fast produces nice colored output. Here's a `zsh` function I put into my ~/.zshrc which allows me to apply ag only to files tracked by git: https://gist.github.com/pesterhazy/9294048

But isn't it you job to have those pictures as part of your content? It's not like the ads have these 10000 types also. They also have only a few. Sometimes an ad even takes 2 pages for one item because they payed more. In the worst case the ad is misleading telling you: "this is the best chair for your because it has XY" and even if you don't belive it in the first place (which is self-evident already. You just don't belive what they tell you because everyone has the same claim of truth. Think about it: we got used to it!) but at the point where you make a decision, maybe far in the future, some subconcious connections that have been manipulated by the ad make you chose the product. This is actually what advertisers aim for. I see it as ethicaly wrong and I'm really sad that you can't see my point of difference between content and avertisment.

@vogue: My girfriend reads those magazines also. But she is always annoyed of the ads and the ad manipulated content. Some of these have at least ads you can take out and throw away, which she does also. She does not read the magazines because of the ads but because of the name of the magazine as well as the content (which is why she stoped reading the german Cosmopolitan for excample. The content became the ad in a way it became unreadable for her).

I've never ever heard somebody say: I buy/watch this product because I like the ads. I really doubt there is a relevant ammount of people who do this...
I enjoy HN and have lots of respect for this community, but there's a strong contradiction in the way we discuss I.P.

On one hand, we're a community of people who found and contribute to software businesses. Most of these companies depend on selling intellectual property in the form of code and data.

Yet, as makers or hackers, some of us despise the companies that attempt to profit from selling I.P. We expect that all components of software be free for us to tinker with and repurpose.

"Well...wait a minute," one might say, "There doesn't have to be a dichotomy between totally closed and totally open."

Exactly! That's precisely what Google is trying to achieve with its mapping initiative. The firm is investing heavily in community tools (not to mention SDKs for developers) that give us an opportunity to participate: posting, querying and modifying data.

Being both entrepreneurs and makers, we should be a little more realistic about our relationship with IP. You can't always have your cake and eat it, too.
If so, they haven't shown this much competence in a long while. Successfully toppling a foreign government? I'm impressed. Although I'm not sure this level of success is the CIA's signature...
Yeah, I do this all the time also with -s0 (saves all data traffic as well). You need some kind of filter because of all the traffic, but you can see everything afterwards. Easy to use wireshark to show TCP streams reconstructed: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChAdvFollowT... .
Having used hibernate extensively (and considering many of it's features remain completely unmatched in any other ORM I've encountered), I can say that I strongly dislike the idea of mutating the query in place. There's huge advantages to each chain returning an independent and valid query that can be executed, referenced, and added to. I don't see any upside to the Hibernate approach here, and it violates "Prefer Immutability".

San Diego, CA | Internships with FLE: http://learningequality.org/

Is this open for remote candidate?
This is a pretty good way to limit your friends network, though. For example, feminists and other sjws often will delete you from everything and start a witch hunt trying to fire you, get all your friends to hate you, and so on if you "confess" to being an egalitarian and/or say anything that indicates rival theories for things outside of their ideology, like the scientific method, might have some validity.

Religion used to be like this (and still is in many developing countries, along with an uncomfortably large segment of the US), but it has to some extent grown much more milder in portions of the community. However, cult like thinking takes many forms, and inadvertently contradicting a cultist may very well become an aspiration crushing torment to the novice idgaf-er.

I guess it's all about taking baby steps at first. And sometimes antidepressants.
Question, asked on HN because others might be interested in the answer as well. Since you did not explicitly mention it in your post and I could not find this on your website either, I was wondering if you only hire locally (i.e. US) or are H1Bs welcome too?

NODE.JS positions in Berlin/Germany—all full-time and permanent

Top 5 reasons why you should move to Berlin, now:

1. Lowest livings costs with highest quality of living. Stay in gorgeous, perfectly renovated apartments in pre-WWII residential buildings with high ceilings, right in the middle of the center and pay a fraction of costs of any other capital (even cheaper than any Eastern European capital). No need for a car—Berlin has one of the densest subway nets and wide streets make biking fun. In addition, Germany has an amazing social health care system including health, unemployment and pension (when working as an employee).

2. A vibrant and fast growing ecosystem of smart people. A vast number of new software talents, founders, software companies and VCs are moving to Berlin, every day (Twitter, Google, Soundcloud, Early Bird and many more).

3. People here are open-minded, outgoing, mix well and international—no need to learn German, everyone speaks English! Making new friends is a matter of days. Visit tons of networking and startup events, every week.

4. Easy work permissions—Europeans do not need any and can work from day one and the rest applies for the hassle-free Blue Card.

5. Berlin's night life is unmatched, huge and changing every day (plus ridiculously cheap). Berlin has got some of the most dazzling, naughty, and original clubs on the face of the Earth.
Berlin is calling and getting the new tech hub of Europe. If you are passionate about building great software, we’d love to talk with you. If you don't live in Berlin yet, we could help to fix that.

Ah, licensing fees... That is a mysterious and strange world of pricing, and deserves a full post of its own. It's still something I'm trying to nail down, and will document it as I do.

Quite simply, it's price discrimination. I arrived at these numbers by imitating what others are doing and adjusting slightly based on my own assumptions.

A large company is assumed to get more utility out of an image than a small company, is therefore charged more. For example, if a large company uses a cartoon in a newsletter, that newsletter is presumed to have a larger circulation than the smaller company's newsletter.

I'm not convinced this is the best pricing structure to go on, but I decided to start with this and improve it as I go along. Will certainly write about this process (and results) soon.

Why I used Java Servlets Instead of Rails
Except it never does. All those decade-long budgets and long-term plans are a sham that survives in the best case until next 2 year election, but more commonly till the next budget skirmish that happens once a couple of months. Specific people can have long-term agenda but government as a whole is incapable of that.
Spheres of influence are real. If Panama fell under a Russian-friendly government likely to stop US vessels going through the strait, would the US government just sit there, "respecting the democratic rights of the citizens of Panama"?
How can we measure quality, not privilege?
Well said.

However:

> Fighting organizations with larger amount of money that we will ever have, was always a dead end. You can't fight fire with fire.

I'm not sure how you define "more money tha[n] we will ever have" -- but that certainly includes most companies and political parties -- and I can't accept that -- those are exactly the kind of organizations we must fight?

And, yes, you can absolutely fight fire with fire. In terms of politics, I'd say wide general strikes is one way to do so -- when one party tries to control the means and output of production, one way to "fight fire with fire" is to shut down production. While not getting as much media attention as it deserved, this was a major factor in the first stages of the Egyptian uprising (not that what has happened there lately is very encouraging).
