Kira Talent (https://www.kiratalent.com) - Toronto, Canada

At Kira Talent, we help organizations find exceptional 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. :)

> The innards of a modern car are incomprehensible to all but "the few elite", and its interface goes a long way to hide all that complexity. I only have the vaguest idea how it works, and am perfectly happy to outsource its maintenance to professional mechanics, because all I care about is that it works.

This makes the same false assumption about the world when applied to computers: The world does not exist of a binary-human type: people who are experts and people who are not.

I own a 28-year old Volkswagen van. It is completely hackable: the only electronics are three relais. But I don't hack it all by myself. I still, gladly drop it at the local garage to get something fixed. I can stop in nearly any town at the local garage and get stuff replaced, fixed or solved. I've had a waterpump fixed in Germany, my brakes replaced in Sweden, the battery replaced in France and so on.

And that is where the importance of hackability comes into play. Not the fact that /I/, myself can open up a browser or tweak it, but the fact that someone in my proximity can. Instead of having to ship my Macbook-pro to the US to get a fan replaced, my local fixit-guy can open my Thinkpad and replace the fan. Instead of having your computerized and closed-down car towed to the nearest official BMW-garage, I can drop my car at any place where they have a set of screwdrivers and some nuts and bolts and have it fixed.
SQLite does it for you; here you do it yourself. Presumably you'd have done a cost/benefit analysis before choosing this over SQLite, so your reasoning would be sound...
I think we can probably agree that the text field on google.com is a search field.

However, if I enter "face" into the text field on google.com, then facebook.com is the top result. If I enter a complete URL like "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7677898" or even "news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7677898", it turns it into a link to that page. The only difference between the search field on google.com and the URL field in chrome is whether it knows about my internet history, and maybe that's just because I have web history turned off. Sometimes I get the "Google Search" behavior and sometimes I get the "I'm feeling lucky" behavior.

In cases where the google search gives the wrong response, chrome gives the same wrong response, for example on intranet servers.

So, if it doesn't display the URL, and it behaves exactly like the search field on google.com, and it doesn't correctly navigate to some URLs entered into the field, I don't think you can really consider it a URL field any more.

In other words, it will make the whole thing a search field, with some smart url-friendly behaviors, so that most of the time when you enter a url it will take you to that url.
I (barely) evaluated some cloud IDEs few weeks back and I felt Cloud9 and Nitrous.IO were far superior to Codio or other IDEs. So, I'm wondering, what makes you say Codio is the most powerful?
In any case, I still don't see enough value in cloud based IDEs to give up the speed that I get from developing locally.

I think you may have misunderstood. "Some" is certainly not "all" or even "most." We are discussing legality, not whether the practice is common.

Right now we're in need of some freelancing help in a number of areas including: 1) devops (using Chef); 2) backend (using Perl); 3) production design (using interface templates).
These tear downs are super interesting and useful, and I'm sure the folks doing them aren't delusional about the sunk costs that went into development of something so complex.
Yes - editing is super hard.

I gave up trying to edit a Wikipedia page as well & this specific one was a table which was even harder.

Editing should be as easy what the hackpad guys built.

Other things that Wikipedia should have had:

Is this a bad thing? If so, why? (At a guess, the server won't have an entropy pool big enough for the number of clients)
Interesting ... By "supports server side rendering", do you mean react can bind to a chunk of preexisting HTML in the page to enhance it? Or running react on node and build a page? Got an example at hand?
The trespassing charges were dropped, but even if they weren't it's a bit of a stretch to say walking into an open closet and plugging in a laptop is breaking into a wiring cabinet. I can understand the argument for trespassing though.

The charges that actually went forward were erroneous and that's the current law that mattered.

Ask HN: Suggestion for a meeting place for two out-of-towners in SF? 
I am meeting two European executives, who happen to be in San Francisco next week (I'm from Chicago). Any suggestions for non-cafe/restaurant meeting places in the city?
That sounds right, but thinking of examples, off the top of my head, I wouldn't class Bill Gates, Larry and Sergey, and Mark Zuckerberg as great communicators. Steve Jobs being the antithesis of course. Am I missing something?
Since we're doing ridiculous hypotheticals here, I'd rather the entire movie theatre having a relaxing, fun time with no interruptions or rude phone users, meaning that they leave the movie happy rather than irritated, less likely to have an accident on the way home and hence need a trauma surgeon in the first place. Ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure and all that.

As for perspective, you are right that life-and-death on-call people should be using pagers rather than phones, but you completely miss the point that you can get pagers that work on a higher frequency than the phone system. Your precious trauma surgeon can still have a pager that works in a theatre while disallowing phone use, since Faraday cages can be tuned to work on different frequencies. Pagers should be used because a pager service comes with a guaranteed SLA, and SMS services do not.

And frankly, I don't give a fuck about your ignorance, just don't use it to angrily insult me when I've done nothing to you.
SEEKING WORK - travelling through Europe atm, will work remotely

I'm a full stack web developer and consultant for over 5 years.

Dstillery - NYC, New York

Dstillery is hiring Backend and Full-stack Software Engineers!

We're #10 on Crain's Best Places to Work in NYC list, #47 on Forbes' America's Most Promising Companies list. We play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays, we have a company band, we work sane hours, we don't track vacation (and not in the 'so nobody ever takes any' sense), and we Get Stuff Done.

You'll learn a lot from working here, regardless of your current level of experience. You'll work directly with a world-class data science team (winners of multiple KDD Best Paper and other awards) that keeps us on the cutting edge of learning at scale, allowing us to build customer-specific models from billions of events per day. We're hooked up to all the big ad exchanges, and have direct working relationships with companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and more. But we're also still pretty small on the engineering team, and everyone gets their hands dirty and makes a real impact.

We write mostly Java. Hadoop, Cassandra, Mongo, and Kafka are big parts of our stack, and we're always looking for new tech that helps us work at scale. Experience with these is a big plus, but if you've never used them before that's fine too, if you're eager to learn. If you write clean, working code, think through problems, and deliver on time, we want to talk to you.

Contact me for more info, jason@dstillery.com

Unfortunately we are not hiring interns or remote at this time.

This is very ironic. IIRC when the EELV rockets were bidding for first launch batches, Boeing used some insider price information to win the majority for Delta IV. There was a big lawsuit about that and Lockheed Martin's Atlas V ended up getting more launches.

The server admins should have anticipated this. That's why there are many server plugins you can install to prevent griefing or building. They should have made the world read-only.
tl;dr: A company called ZeniMax Media Inc, which makes video games, claims that John Carmack took ZeniMax's IP with him when he moved to Oculus, and that this IP was crucial to Oculus's success. An Oculus spokesman is quoted as saying, "It's unfortunate, but when there's this type of transaction, people come out of the woodwork with ridiculous and absurd claims."

Rights? What rights? You're talking about conveniences here, supplied by a private entity, not rights. You don't have a right to watch a movie with guaranteed phone access any more than you have a right to watch a movie not being illuminated by the bright screen of the phone from some idiot in front of you. You don't even have a right to watch a movie in the first place.

Seriously, get some perspective here.
