Kumu Networks - Santa Clara, CA - http://kumunetworks.com/

Kumu Networks is revolutionizing the way wireless systems are built using an innovative full-duplex wireless design that its founders developed as a research project at Stanford. Wireless full-duplex allows a radio to transmit and receive signals at the same time using a single frequency channel. Kumu's patent pending full-duplex technology changes the basic assumptions on which current wireless radios are built, allowing for improved performance and reduced complexity across a variety of wireless devices and markets.

We're looking for well-rounded systems programmers with an embedded systems, C, Linux, and networking background. Fluency in Python and Git workflows are big pluses. In addition, we're looking for software engineers with a background in cellular stacks, and algorithms scientists with a background in optimization. See more information on open positions here: http://www.jobscore.com/jobs/kumunetworks.

This is a well-funded technology startup with a small team, a highly cross-disciplinary environment (algorithms, mixed-signal, RF, digital hardware, and FPGA engineers), and a very concrete mission!
It really depends what type of game in my opinion (which sounds like your opinion too). I've found that RTS can get away with TCP. We used Apple's Game-Center matching for our iPad game (Stratosphere: Multiplayer Defense), and used "GKSendDataReliable" aka TCP.

It's real-time and works fine over 3G even... the real problem is having enough people online at once to even play multiplayer lol...
Harvard has always been and still primarily remains a boys club. My father got a high-paying job he wasn't qualified for simply because a fellow alumnus/friend needed a "Harvard Man" at his side. I hope she gets the help and support she needs.

Not sure if I'm supposed to create a new thread or just reply here.

I'm working on an app that will disrupt the photo sharing and virtual local assistant marketplaces, which form a combined $12.5B/year industry.

In short, it's the Neato for virtual local assistants. (Neato is the Cercle for local photo sharing, and Cercle is the Uber for individuals.) We'll use growth hacking hacking to grow virally, first in the SF area and then in China. (If we can get just .1% of the Chinese market, the app will be profitable within two years.)

Demo product is coming soon, but in the meantime I'm looking for a tech co-founder to turn my idea into a product. Being part of the 500 Combinators class will truly help me get this off the ground.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Greg

Good thoughts and I agree! The overloading of email is a huge problem, and no one wants more junk. So it comes down to receiving things that you really want.

With Bit of News, it's easy to unsubscribe with one click. If people didn't want it, they would have unsubscribed. At least that's what I would do.

I've found that people tend to like emails that they expect, and dislike the ones that are out of the blue. If you expect it everyday, it's a pleasure instead of an annoyance.
dang, this is not just to sign up for.

The project is actually fully functional. The link links to the front page, but if you see the top tab, you will both the API documentations and the blockexplorer.

This is one of the terrible things about the iTunes store.

Thankfully there's now a really nice alternative front-end for browsing their content: https://fnd.io/#/iphone-app/845405123-deafalarm-by-alex-reid...

Queuing up an async message still takes time. As does reading a row from a database and materializing an object. So "most" is really probably nearly all unless they take explicit steps to make sure the same amount of work is performed in either case.
Mountain View and the Bay Area - Binpress, the marketplace for commercial open-source.

About us

If you are interested in what we do and in the intersection of open-source and commercial software, please get in touch through our jobs page - http://www.binpress.com/jobs/positions
Pointless factoid: that works out to about $65 per movie frame.
Not anywhere near as rigorous in engineering than the pure disciplines. "Discrete math" is often the baby version of "Elementary Number Theory"/"Introduction to Higher Mathematics" type of class for example. The Physics 101 type class engineers take is often the baby version of the general physics classes given to those who intend on or are considering becoming physics majors. Engineers almost never see anything like real analysis, abstract algebra, or topology unless they go to graduate school, and the challenges in working your mind around the concepts, language, and proofs founded on hard logic. Physicists often don't see those topics either (a good portion do though due to necessity), but physics tests problem solving ability at a level engineering doesn't typically match.

Not to say that engineers are necessarily inferior - there is a foundation that I'd say most don't have though in comparison.
> I've got 20 years professional programming experience.

According to many, 20 years of professional programming experience is a death knell to even those with the best degrees money can buy. It is assumed you should have moved on to bigger and better things by that point (not an opinion I hold, but a sentiment that seems pervasive).

Did you find that it became more difficult to find work as you got older?
I don't disagree that companies are often looking for people who have resumes and skills far exceeding the simple, minor needs of particular jobs.

On the other hand, I have met many CS majors at local New York colleges, and even among the seniors who seem to be in the top half of the class, their knowledge of some basic things is almost universally absent. Such as software version control - they don't know what it is, they don't know the names of any version control systems, like git or perforce, and they don't know how to use any of them.

They study for class, mostly, but seem to have no interest in all of this outside of class. Not once in four years do you check a project out of github, fix a bug, and then send a patch and pull request? And that's among those who study and are in the top half of the class. Some kids don't even care about studying much and I don't know why they're even bothering.

DRM (in concept, but not in practice) means shipping you an impenetrable safe and selling the key separately.

They're now "morons" to allow people to send payment requests? Perhaps you're not quite familiar with their business model.
"it's easy to unsubscribe with one click. If people didn't want it, they would have unsubscribed"

Be careful with this assumption. It might surprise you how many people won't bother to click unsubscribe (no matter how obvious you make the option) b/c they just click "spam". I have friends who have been caught by this one in the past.

I think this is a gem of an idea. Doug Engelbart’s AUGMENT system had aspects of this, from what I’ve read. Statements were constructed in trees, and you could define “viewspecs” to give you different views of your statement trees:

Right, I'm not saying the guys who run StackOverflow need to allow me and my opinion surveys on StackOverlfow...

But the StackExchange platform allowed them to create Programmers.StackExchange.com, where opinion polls are welcome. EDIT: slightly more welcome, sometimes, maybe.

If they had figured that out sooner, and had migrated questions from StackOverflow, they could have done a much better job at engaging users.

Saying "your question is closed as off-topic" is totally different from "your question has been migrated". I commend them for the second, and I condemn them for the first.

> I would very clearly draw the line at the point where the NSA is deliberately weakening national security by undermining widely used cryptography

There was no "threat to national security" here. Unlike what we think of as a normal backdoor, this one is and remains completely in NSA's control, as long as they're the only ones with the private key underlying the Dual EC constants. So even knowing there's a backdoor in there somewhere, there's no way for other security agencies or hackers to break Dual EC (assuming, of course, that it's properly implemented, which is not a given, and NSA's changes may have made it harder to implement).
A decision to invest in Microsoft needs to be compared against the opportunity cost: investing in an unbiased sample of companies (you can invest in the Russel 2000 if you want), for much less risk.

Taking a job to work at McDonalds is a bad decision when the alternative (picking a random job available to you, essentially) pays more. Even if you "get paid" while working at McDonalds, it wasn't a worthwhile decision.

(By the way, stocks are absolutely compared against the average market to see if they are a worthwhile decision. Why do you want to invest in an underperformer when you can invest randomly and do better? It's like testing a drug against a placebo.)

I agree with your sentiment, but if you keep your passwordfile
well-formed, say:

site.com username password
#assume no spaces in password or username -- or use tabs

You could throw something like:

gpg -dao passwordfile.gpg|awk "/${1}/ { print \$3 }" | xclip &&
sleep 15 ; echo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX | xclip

In a script. With an agent managing your gpg passphrase (or not,
depending on your pranoia) such a scheme would get most of the way
there.

Not sure why you would want to kill the terminal, but you could just
<command-run> or whatever said script...

In fact, for clearing your clipboard, just selecting some text should be
enough -- but I supppose it might be considered a feature to have it in
the script, in case one forgets.

+1 for Detroit.

I am from the NYC area but I visit my wife's family in Detroit about two times a year and always have a blast.
Last I tried it asp.net MVC was not RESTful and they had a different product for APIs called "Web API" that is essentially the same thing except RESTful. It seems entirely silly to me that there should be different frameworks depending on whether you are serving html or not-html data.

To me that's indicative of an organization consisting of silos.
The OP was complaining that blockchain.info has outages (which it does), so there's one reason. But more generally, the whole point of Bitcoin is you don't have to rely on trusted third parties. You might as well say, "the bank can't really try to gamble with your money, it'd ruin its business". But it happens! Now block explorer sites can't gamble with your money, but they can do plenty of other things. The assumption that they won't do problematic things because it'd hurt their business is just as weak. E.g. what happens if they start charging you fees?

But more generally I wonder why people are doing this. If your app really needs indexed access to the entire block chain, you probably designed it wrong. If your app doesn't, then you could as well use local software.
SMS must be a bigger platform than email, no?
Please don't include the domain name in the title. We always take them out, because the domain is visible to the right.
The problem with people like you who have this Pavlovian conditioning of belching out "correlation != causation!!!!!1" whenever an observational study is mentioned which doesn't affirm their own preconceptions is that they seem to be incapable of understanding that it is practically infeasible to run randomized controlled trials to study the interactions between complex lifestyle factors such as diets and complex diseases such as cancers and CVDs, as you would have to somehow ensure sufficiently high study compliance in a sufficiently large sample over a sufficiently long period of time, i.e., decades; not to mention ethical implications.
These single page sites do have a public, albeit, undocumented API. If you analyze the network requests via the dev tools in your browser you'll have an XML/JSON data source that is probably structured better than the markup.

This is no doubt the same rationale for Square Cash[1] i.e. send cash to your friends via email. I wonder how their adoption has been though, compared to an analog product like Venmo[2] which uses a mobile app approach.

This quickly went from "I'll play for just a minute" to "where are those darn last triforce pieces!?" Nice work!
Silent downvotes are cowardly! Yes, they are morons as the issue was reported to them and they refused to address it - it clearly shows that they don't rate-limit the API, which is moronic! Just because Coinbase is a YC company, it doesn't mean we should put up with their crap again and again! Just recently had to get bitcoins and they cheated on the rate again and again! I really don't like that anybody can pollute my history with fake requests like this either! Poor design choice, that what it is! Just like storing transactions in MongoDB, just because it's cool and "first" in the financial industry!
What is the difference between a "real language" and "compiled down to JavaScript"? Like, every language is either interpreted or compiles down to something else. I'm not clear on what the real distinction is here. Are ClojureScript, Dart and Scala not real languages since they compile to JavaScript?
The associated blog post from Ben Purdy: http://www.benpurdy.com/blog/2014/3/demaking-zelda
So, users opt-in to providing their names to be used with Coinbase transactions, then are unhappy when said names are used?

Perhaps yesterday's "bug" reporter was unhappy at being dismissed (and he paid for Burp Suite, too!) so perhaps he decided to cause, in his words, "panic".

There's good reasons to dislike Coinbase but this isn't one of them. And of course the "full list" is bigger - the list just contains some previously-known emails and their associated, optional, Coinbase name.

This kind of thing seems to be one reason America is still the best place to start a business.

I'm saying that in order to spark a debate and challenge that belief. Would anyone please list some actions taken by the US government which is similar in nature to the takeover illustrated here?

It seems very similar to what happened in the middle ages. Before the rise of the merchant class, specifically the ability to defend themselves, bullies stepped in and took what they wanted. Pg went into some detail about that in one of his essays about wealth. The phrase "if you let the nerds keep their lunch money, you rule the world" comes to mind. Might that be changing? Is Russia harming itself by taking these actions? What ways might this action backfire against them? Or is this a new model for how governments should treat corporations that dare challenge their authority?

EDIT: I really didn't mean to start a flamewar. My apologies. I was hoping to get people's thoughts on whether governments of the future are going to do this kind of thing more and more (including the US). I should have led with that rather than cheerleading America.

EDIT2: I would again like to stress the international nature of this threat. This type of governmental action is something that seems likely to eventually threaten us all, regardless of where we're located. As such, the best thing to do would be to discuss possible ways of protecting ourselves.

I would also like to apologize for accidentally insulting everyone who lives in places other than America. Phrasing my comment the way I did was a boneheaded thing to do. It currently reads like an elaborate form of trolling, as if I'm snubbing non-Americans. But in fact I'm just poor with the pen and in reality meant to debate the merits of starting companies in various countries, and to call attention to this international threat. I'm quite sorry for how it sounded. In the meantime, can anyone think of ways of protecting ourselves from centralized government action against businesses?
