"Data Scientist" is a fashionable job title today that covers having some bundle of skills including statistics, visualization, programming, presentation skills, business analysis, etc.
The CEO and all the board of directors? I think things would shape up pretty quickly.
An excerpt from a Softpedia article on his topic: "the payment processor questioned the legality of ProtonMail and inquired about having government approval to encrypt emails."

OK. So now I'm 100% convinced this company is a slave to the US government and it's probably ran by money-hungry apes.
Victim-blaming implies someone has blamed someone else for their circumstance. Telling someone how to avoid assholes is not victim-blaming, its education that all [young] adults should receive, because it helps people make informed decisions and be responsible adults.

All adults maintain responsibility for their own actions. That goes for both the assholes and the victims. Ideally, everyone would get exactly the same training, because everyone has the capacity to be either an asshole or a victim.

Of course we know that in our particular society (as in many others) women are at higher risk for being abused, and men are more likely to be the abuser. So it seems like there should still be an equal amount of education, but that men should probably receive greater feedback about how (and why) not to be an asshole, and women should receive greater feedback on how to protect themselves from assholes.

I love working on full-stack web development with Django and Python, although I also have significant experience with WordPress and PHP. Most of my clients fall into one of three areas:

- startups who need assistance building a MVP,

- non-profits looking to use technology to help connect with their stakeholders, and

- small businesses trying to modernize their websites to increase their conversion rates.

I am often separated from my clients by many miles and multiple timezones, so I understand the importance of communication and frequent updates when working remotely. Since I am often the sole developer/designer on projects I work on, I provide end-to-end technological solutions. Since I realize my successful clients might need additional development help in the future, I ensure everything I do is both easily maintained and well-documented.

My online portfolio contains details about recent websites I have completed for clients, as well as open source projects I currently maintain or have contributed to in the past: https://marteydodoo.com/portfolio/

The best way to contact me is through my website: https://marteydodoo.com/contact/
A conspiracy theorist might note that all the recent huge banking fines have been against non-US banks. Could it be that US prosecutors are much keener to investigate foreign banks and do not look as closely at banks back home? Or are the US banks miraculously less corrupt?

I think conflating a publicly accessible website with a private conversation - even if in a public setting - is specious. That said, I concede the point that some websites are meant to belong to the deep web, and while I wouldn't feel guilty about archiving it for personal use anyway, I wouldn't blame the author for banning archivers.

I'd say my general rule is closer to: if you allow search engines, you should allow IA.

W.r.t. your last question, historically the solution to that problem was simple and elegant: people used pen names to write what they didn't want to bind permanently to them. This way is also safer from unauthorized archiving - not everyone is as respectful of the author's wishes as IA.

Why is there so much more motivation on the part of authorities to go after this type of crime rather than those that caused the financial collapse of 2008/2009? The financial collapse affected a lot more people here in North America, but I guess the issue is that it was local banks, not foreign ones.

It does seem like authorities like to go after foreign banks for large fines rather than local ones.
Please link me to a site that has Amazon gift cards at a greater than 3% discount. I tried searching last time someone gave me that reply and couldn't find one.
So.... it's not for most people then?

Because we've evolved a hell of a lot of ways for people to offload responsibility over the last hundred or so years, particularly where money is involved.

In general I think it's a pretty good thing.
Seems like they already thought about that:

https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/trustedadvisor/
Buying Amazon cards on the secondary market isn't a good idea, though, due to the fraud. Otherwise agreed.
Coinbase and BitPay signing up new retailers doesn't provide me additional belief that bitcoin is viable. The retailer doesn't believe in bitcoin. They get cash out ASAP.

For a retailer, if they think they can move units by partnering with someone who will convert BC to cash, sure whatever. It's like adding PayPal.

You don't see the 10,000,000 new consumers bought bitcoins!!! Who knew cryptocurrency could burn holes in pockets!??!?! articles because that's not happening.

The real problem was never "people don't have a place to spend bitcoin." It was "people don't have time or risk tolerance to manage bitcoin."

Are there not other protections against that?

If your non profit suddenly makes $10 million, you couldn't just pay yourself that money, could you? Surely you have to be able to justify that your spending was aligned with the stated goals of the non profit, if and when audited?

Forgive my ignorance, I'm from New Zealand, and the laws are quite different over here. For instance, corporate income tax is franked, so you aren't double taxed on profits. That alone removes a lot of incentive to eliminate the tax a company pays.

HubSpot - http://www.hubspot.com - Cambridge/Boston, MA

We create software that helps businesses with their online marketing. The company is several hundred employees and nearing a hundred in engineering. Things are organized in small teams and you get to have a big impact. We were also named the #2 place in Massachusetts to work.

On the backend, we use Java (modern Java with DropWizard, Guice, and the like) and Python (Django). We love using JSON to get things done. For storage, there's HBase, Hadoop (for MapReduce jobs), MySQL, ZooKeeper, Redis, and Memcached. We do great monitoring and deploy hundreds of times a day. We use CI and have automated deployment. Don't expect your code to languish in git (we have GitHub Enterprise) for long.

On the front end, we use Backbone.js, CoffeeScript, and jQuery.

We're also looking for iOS and Android engineers.

Work schedule seems flexible (most engineers work 10-6), you get great equipment (like a Retina MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt display), and you get to make a meaningful difference in the product. There's free drinks (including beer), snacks, etc.

It's a great place to be and hope you come join us! We have lots of positions open.

Preview of Identiva PassKey
From TFA: "It is a cautionary tale of how European banks, spotting a lucrative business opportunity that American rivals shunned, opened their doors to countries under sanctions and ultimately exposed their reputations to the stain of criminal cases."
Problem is robbing an ATM is almost impossible to get away with. From bank surveillance, to all of the other signal evidence one would leave entering and exiting the crime scene, not to mention that all of the bills are marked and would have to be spent and laundered with great care.

For this reason, its easier to rob in other ways. ATMs may be easy to hack, but hard to get away with. Otherwise two things would be happening:

1) More ATMs would get hacked

2) Banks would actually invest in the security of the physical machine.

My guess is there are other means to catch the crooks. Maybe I'm wrong and:

1) ATMs get robbed all the time and its a preferred way to start a criminal enterprise

2) Some holes are left open for more dubious means. /conspiracy

Seems rather silly that a kid can use Google to hack an ATM.
Depending on which side of the pond you reside, one could be forgiven that this is an issue with the sartorial sensibilities of people, rather than how intelligent they are.

> Could someone explain to me (as a non-American non-financial type) the basis of US jurisdiction over banks not based in the US?

Entities physically present in, doing business in, and subject to licensing by the US and individual US states are subject to US law and the law of those states no matter where they are headquartered.
An equivalent of jail time could be government ordering all company's offices to cease operation immediately and remain closed for few weeks.
That was kind of my point -- that second-perfect accuracy over such long time spans is rarely needed or even possible.
Not to be picky but you need to say for what legal jurisdiction this applies to - advice specific for a USA based company is worth about as much as a chocolate teapot in other country's

Hi Amir,

Thanks for your reply, don't have time to invest that much in unikernel, I just keep an eye on it. But the use case is very appealing to me and to you according to your writings on your blog :) I'll keep in touch if I investigate further the Unikernel way.
Thanks for the John Carmack's tweet, very interesting, and a validation of our intuition by one of the greatest programmers :)

Side note : I sent the comment from my smartphone and the quickest way to retrieve the link to the ACM article on Unikernel is by browsing my twitter feed :) hence the twitter short URL

> On 7 January 2011, a minor amendment was made to the EAR (Federal Register Vol. 76, No. 5, p. 1059). Publicly available mass-market encryption object code software (with symmetric key length exceeding 64 bits), and publicly available encryption object code of which the corresponding source code falls under License Exception TSU (i.e., when the source code is publicly available), are no longer subject to the EAR. The amendment includes some minor specific revisions.

Since ProtonMail is javascript crypto, their encryption source code is available and therefore is allowed, right?

ENGINEERING CULTURE

Our engineering culture:

* We do very thorough, line-by-line code reviews using GitHub pull requests. This keeps our code quality high and helps us learn.
* We try to have two people work together on every project (collaborating, not pairing). It's more fun and it results in better code.
* We practice rapid iteration. If it's better than live, we ship. We also build things so they can go live (whitelisted) long before launch day.
* We write tests for things that are mission-critical, prone to failure, or cause paranoia. Think billing and datastore code, not Django views.
* We care about learning. Right now we're reading through Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment.
* We currently have 9 vim users, 2 IntelliJ, and 1 emacs holdout.

ENGINEERING POSITIONS

We have two types of engineering positions available - systems and product. Both of these positions require you to be able to work in San Francisco, CA.

Systems engineers build and scale our infrastructure, and write mostly C, C++, and Python. We are working on a number of new products right now with serious infrastructure challenges and we need more people with great depth to help us solve them. This position requires at least 4 years of experience.

Responsibilities of this role include:

* Working on our custom datastore (written from the ground up in C)
* Scaling the data processing pipeline (currently handling > 50K requests per second)
* Building notification delivery infrastructure (currently sending > 100M emails & push notifications per month)
* General improvements to performance, reliability, and security
* Work with the rest of the engineering team to design, build, deploy, and maintain systems

Okay, that applies to pedestrian deaths. But the vast majority of driving deaths are based on mutual choice to drive. As long as nobody's drunk it's rarely a 'kill someone else' situation, rather it's a 'two drivers interacted in a way that went wrong' situation.

I'm a UI designer and a front-end developer. Here's some examples of my work… http://blendmo.de

Here's what I do best:
- Planning: wireframes, on paper or in Balsamiq
- Concepts: Photoshop mock-ups of pages and flows
- Build: HTML, CSS and JS. I prefer HAML, SASS and CoffeeScript
- Integration: I can integrate into any app or framework.

I've been a designer/developer since 2002. For the last 3 years, I've been focused on helping start-ups design and build their products.

Get in touch via my portfolio or m@blendmo.de
Thanks!
One of the things about HN I find annoying is that anything by or about certain people makes it onto the front page.

No remote, but we do offer relocation and visa sponsorship.

Summary: We’re profitable, very open as a company, and supportive, and we need more engineers. EdTech.

Full description: Course Hero, the leading platform for crowd-sourced educational materials, is looking for a software engineer who can hit the ground running.
Our team releases code every day to millions of people, so we're looking for someone who can take on challenges, build new features, and iterate quickly. Each engineer has a role in building Course Hero's architecture and will have the opportunity to touch all parts of the stack. Our projects are big -- terabytes of data and customers around the world -- but our team is small, so you’ll see projects from start to finish, working closely with product managers and designers to ensure successful results.

Our company culture is very open, flat, and transparent. We succeed and learn together. Our office is very comfortable, has a lot of natural light, and great amenities like a gym and walking trails onsite. We’ve tried hard to make this a pleasant and inspiring place to do creative work.

Most importantly, we seek to hire individuals whose personality, integrity and passion for our business make our team better as a whole. We’re growing fast, profitable (yes, it’s true!), and looking for another core team member to push us toward the future.

Our stack is LAMP (PHP/Symfony) + jQuery and AngularJS, but we’re open to people with all kinds of experience. iOS would be a nice bonus.

How do we know that American banks shunned it? They too could have been disguising transactions and hiding illegality. It's not like US banks are known for avoiding 'lucrative business opportunities' that aren't entirely legal. Perhaps the whistleblowers required haven't come forward, or perhaps the investigators just haven't looked too hard...
