SPINS LLC - http://www.spins.com Chicago and Schaumburg, IL
Software Engineers, Designers, and QA Engineers wanted!

We are looking for a variety of software engineers, designers, and QA engineers to fill out our engineering team. SPINS is the leading provider of analytics, reporting, and insights for the natural, organic, and specialty products industry. We deliver analytics to naturally-focused retailers and manufacturers, based on point-of-sale data, transactional data, and other sources.

Technologies we're using include Java, Hadoop/Pig, DB2/MySQL/PostgreSQL, REST, and AngularJS. We use agile development, git, and maven.

Reasons I love working here:

- SPINS is about 100 people, but still like a startup in some ways. There's a great team and good resources, but everyone is friendly, casual, flexible on hours and which office you work from. There's free snacks, biweekly masseuse, that sort of thing.

- We are at the intersection of two awesome growth industries: big data analytics, and natural foods/products.

- We are spinning up some cool tech projects: Moving all our processing to Hadoop, new responsive webapps, and mobile later this year.

You can see some postings at http://spins.atsondemand.com/, or feel free to ping me at snoto@spins.com if you're interested in any engineering role.
What's your definition of a "module" that is not a class, not an object file, not a .so, and not a namespace?

I'm not trying to be argumentative. I've seen this "C++ doesn't have modules" claim before, and I'm trying to get my mind around it.
It's amazing to think how many people this group has come to influence (including myself) over these past months.

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

We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.

Here's a testimonial we received last wweek:

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

I just want to thank you soooo very much in high school it was very hard for me and I hated studying also even thou my mother told me it would help me I never listened and now I am in college and this website helps me so much with algebra/health and so much more when I start working again I want to give back to you for helping me out in college and becoming a Doctor because you can never say never :)

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

Every month we get hundreds of letters like this from people in all walks of life who are thankful for our 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.

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 who you haven't heard of but who are also really awesome.

We're especially looking for new product designers (of all types) but we also have many engineering positions open as well as some positions for a teacher and contract question writers.

Apply at https://www.khanacademy.org/careers and mention that you're coming from HN. Feel free to email me at alpert+HN@khanacademy.org if you have questions about applying or about KA in general. Unfortunately we can't sponsor visas right now unless you're from Canada, Australia, or Mexico.
That's absolutely true. Also, practice makes perfect!

> The quotes from IRS shot that this is not a random rejection, rather a whole policy with thought-out basis. Somebody took time to ridicule open source in legalese.

Its not "ridiculing". Its applying the law and existing precedent to the specific facts presented by Yorba. It may be wrong, but reading the whole letter it seems like its more that Yorba did a poor job at explaining how it met the 501(c)(3) requirements, including when responding to specific inquiries by the IRS.[1]

(It'd be interesting to get the application and other documents and compare them to those of, e.g., the Apache Software Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, and other open-source entities that have gotten 501(c)(3) status and see if its really that the IRS decision here is out of line with other ones in similar areas or if its just Yorba's documentation and explanations that are the issue.)

Very nice! It has a modern feel and stands out from the average.
So the "value-added" is ~$60 since registration is in the $35-45/year range. I'm not sure if the domain equivalent to an ebay auction sniper is worth ~$60/domain when it costs me less money to either check back on the expiry date or just email the person who owns it and give them the $60.

kevin is basically just unbelievably good at everything.
Seems to me a system is just a goal that's behavior-oriented, rather than results-oriented. "Make the best widget you can adhering to XYZ principles" as opposed to "Make a widget that sells 100,000 units."

Reminds me of Musk's first principles method.

They aren't. See, inter alia, the Apache Software Foundation. "BOLO" doesn't mean "blanket prohibition".
Great refresh - clean and crisp. The 'Blog' section looks a bit out of place on the home page with the white background and blue text, but other than that I think the new design suits YC well.

Im a math student looking for something in Data, but I'm down for anything. Maybe an internship or part time.
I use Linode for production sites. It's easy to create private networks. Performance is better than DO in my testing. I use Digital Ocean for my hobby sites like blog and quick apps since they have inexpensive instances.
I'd say if you're spending 50%-20% of your days on the (presumably wireless, cordless, mobile, whatever radiation-emitting technology) phone, then sitting is not the main concern you should have regarding your health.
I think that's perfectly fine, though it's not my cup of tea (and I doubt that empirical evidence would show that Go's particular set of features maximizes "big project" maintainability, though such an experiment is sadly impossible to arrange). And I think that the point, "Critics focus on missing features, but Go's philosophy is to be minimal" is definitely valid. But, "Critics focus on how Go is missing shiny new features (that may not even be fully implemented)" is definitely not true (of most critics). Most people aren't complaining that Go doesn't support dependent types, or row polymorphism, or cutting edge technologies. They're complaining that Go doesn't even reflect the state-of-the-art of 30 years ago.
What's the tech stack for the new website?

People should file Apple radars if they there's functionality missing in a Beta Language. Not just try to catch attention and stars in Github with useless (at least in this stage) projects.

PS: I insist, an expressive language like Swift doesn't need '$.'

Cheers.
The big one is HipChat, which I've already suggested at least twice :)

Otherwise, it would just be cool to be able to use IFTTT as part of custom little programs. For example, I have a script that notices when a url on our server suddenly gets a spike in traffic. It would be cool to be able to have push to a IFTTT API and have it trigger whatever actions I want. Likewise, it would be cool to have webhooks so that I could have some custom action that's triggered by IFTTT. Maybe this is outside the scope of how you want people using the service.
Possible in all languages that offer native code compilers and are more developer friendly than C.
Looks great Kevin!

Notice that Hacker News is kind of hard to find and use in a number of ways. Once I'd heard of it, it took me a little while to actually find the forum, figure out how it works and how to create an account. Slightly annoying, but I tend to think now that it's better this way - it probably encourages high-level discussion and discourages trolling and lame jokes by making it so that low-effort commentators will get tired of trying to figure it out and go to Reddit or something instead.
Nod Labs - http://hellonod.com - Mountain View CA - Full Time, Interns, no remote work.

We believe our technology will fundamentally change how we interact with computers and our environment. We have built the first and only pixel accurate gestural control device, and we are just getting started. Imagine walking into a living room turning the lights down, adjusting the thermostat and searching for your favorite show on your TV with just subtle movements of your finger.

Yourself: Self starter and mostly importantly a finisher - pick something up and deliver without supervision. You will be a manager with a team size of one - you. You will need to pick the next problem on the way to achieve our goals and solve it. You could be working on our custom OS twiddling GPIOs or you could be hacking on the backend or polishing off our iOS app. You will need to hold a lot of complexity in your head and have solid CS fundamentals. For what we do, Google may not have all the answers to your questions, github may not have any such sample code and Stackoverflow may have a vaguely related question with no replies, but you will be responsible for solving the problem.

Team: ex-(Apple, Facebook, Google, Jawbone, Lab126, NASA, Samsung). Approximately 1/3rd of the team are PhDs (or PhDs on “pause”) in various fields (Math, Physics, CS) from MIT, Stanford, CMU etc.

Along with incredibly smart engineers we are also looking for a world class Product Manager who can work with the incredibly smart engineers while also being laser sharp focused on execution.

Do you like functional programming? We're using Clojure for our backend and ClojureScript for our frontend. Knowing either isn't a requirement, but be excited to learn!

We are looking for:

- Experienced backend engineer/techlead with excellent system design and architecture skills

- Engineering & design interns for the fall of 2014.

Well I would think they would pay for RStudio server. I know $10,000 seems steep but I am sure Google could afford that.
I agree with this.

I personally like to see my life as a business. As such, I have an operational planning (what do I want to achieve today?), a tactical planning (what do I want to achieve in the coming year?) and a strategic planning (where to I want to be in the next 10 years?). Of course I have to adapt these plans every year / few years or so depending on how my situation has changed, but at least I got something to look forward to.

In the past, when my parents died in a car accident I lost all my goals to strive for, which was one of the causes of a depression that lasted around ~7 years. Only after reformulating my goals and creating a solid plan for the future, my life gained meaning again.
Call me old fashioned, but allegations with legal implications are, to me at least, gossip, until ruled on by the courts and juries.
It seems more than a little crazy to suggest this could really be doable. Then again some of the videos of what kinds of precision quad-coptors can achieve with their movements will make you think this could be done.
Probably kill = hide from front page, blast = hide from all, and nuke = delete from database (maybe soft-delete). Pure speculation though.

From what I see their API attempts to decouple two things that can not be decoupled; the creation and the signing of transactions (whether they are multisig or not).

I'm not even sure what benefit that is supposed to bring, but apparently they believe it is easier for developers to use a remote JSON API instead of a local bitcoin library[1] to generate transaction payloads.

The problem is that it is not trivial to inspect and verify the payload before signing it. It is an opaque hex-string. In order to verify that it contains what you want it to contain you need the same machinery that you'd use to create the transaction yourself in first place.

So if you choose to verify the transactions they make up for you before signing them then you could just as well generate the payload yourself.

If you don't verify the transactions they make up for you (which is what their documentation seems to expect) then you put your wallet at the mercy of whoever controls their servers. That is a very bad idea!

Meanwhile, creating and signing bitcoin transactions entirely in your own code, without talking to any remote party, isn't very hard to begin with.
Mature libraries and toolkits exist.

Here's how to create a multisig transaction using the sx toolkit: http://sx.dyne.org/multisig.html

Ask HN: Will Bitcoin ever go mainstream?
I've been reading a lot of Bitcoin discussion on bitcointalk lately and it frustrates me how misinformed most Bitcoin "evangelists" are on the economics that are critical to Bitcoin's future. Most of these people see Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a thing to "buy low and sell high" thinking they are more of a stock than a currency. If there opinion represents a majority of Bitcoin owners, then we can expect a huge devaluation of Bitcoin in the next couple of years as they start to "cash out" as the prices increases significantly. I think this is speculator mentality is a factor in the extraordinarily high variation in the exchange rate of BTC/USD compared with relatively low variation in the exchange rate of EUR/USD.

This has me worried about the future of Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin and its derivatives have a lot of potential as a future currency but the way that people treat it now worries me. For Bitcoin to have a future it needs to be used by people in the same way that we dollars and euros day to day. People need to start buying more things with Bitcoin, get paid with Bitcoin, and keep savings and money market accounts in Bitcoin. We need to start "thinking" in Bitcoin like we think in dollars. But, the high changes in price scare adoption of Bitcoin. Why would I buy a laptop for 2 BTC when tomorrow that laptop could only cost 1.5 BTC because the value of BTC changed over night?

What is your opinion on the Bitcoin's future as a true currency? Is my concern valid or will the power of the technology trump the speculators in the long run? Can anyone point me to resources that go beyond the "speculator mentality" that has started to plague BT and various "Bitcoin evangelist" magazines?

I think you are in a blind alley. Yes, there is a singular epistemological error underlying every flavor of mathematical, scientistic economics. There is no actual "equilibrium point" where some say and there's no "coefficient of human volition" that we can calculate decisions like we could calculate the path of an atom.

After about 100 years of trying economics this way, there is still nothing close to a model that has reliable predictive power as we would expect with other natural sciences using the hypothetico-deductive method. I advocate instead the axiomatic-deductive method of the Austrian School. If you like, here is more on why what you want to do doesn't work from von Mises: http://mises.org/daily/3540

How about London?
I see, that is disconcerting. Though it doesn't seem to be an issue with the multisig transaction api specifically. The single signatory api implies a certain amount trust that they'll produce the correct transaction as well.

I agree that that trust should be more explicitly explained.
