At the end of each period, for example a day, banks calculate how much money was paid from accounts at bank A to those at bank B, from bank C to bank A, etc This results in a net credit or debt between the banks.

Rather than send all the transactions back and forth, banks will "clear" this net amount between themselves. The "clearing house", which in the US is often either CHIPS [1] or Fedwire [2], handles this process, which handle most large interbank US dollar transactions globally. (Clearing also seems to mean currency exchange in the US, according to WSJ).

BNP used this service in the US, so it fell under US law.

Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

---------------------------------------

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're hiring for full time positions as software developers and software designers at our office in Grand Rapids.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

- Though everyone here is fluent in Ruby, we don't artificially limit ourselves.
Recently, I've worked with Objective-C, Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap),
Angular.js, QT and of course Ruby.

- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design.

- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

- We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us access
to lots of cool machines.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

- 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

- If you’re renting anything larger than a breadbox in the Bay Area or NYC,
you can afford a house here. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

- A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

- You love making software, and you have a few years of experience doing it.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. It would be nice if you use and love Ruby, but not required.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

- You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software craftsman on this awesome team. If you're interested, get in touch with me:

Anecdotally, Rust is the most joyful language to program in for me at the moment. I find that I can express powerful ideas in the type system, with deep confidence that the compiler will catch my mistakes, and a strong mental model of how my program will actually execute. I don't know any other languages that "feel" that way. Perhaps D or Nimrod would, but there's only so much time for new languages...

The address doesn't seem to be a valid BTC address.
Ha ha. Touché! I expect it is mostly Marmite and Branston Pickle.
Quite old now, but this was actually my point. That there is NOT really a level of validation that is/can be wholly automated and to try and develop a co-op or service with that assumption is bound for trouble.

Obama Caught Lip-Syncing Speech
It is non-trivial to create and sign a transaction among multiple parties. The point of multisig is that you have several entities, some can be humans, some can be machines, programming languages can be widely different. And no matter what, signatures have to be assembled so someone has created some transaction for you to sign before and there has to be some correlation between the signatures of the different parties.

~~~~~~~~~~

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

~~~~~~~~~~

We’re a team of developers, designers, doctors, and marketers working at Watsi because we believe that everyone, everywhere deserves access to healthcare. We move fast, take risks, and come to work every day excited about building an organization that matters more than we do.

We’re looking for a full-stack developer (engineer #2) to join our five-person team in San Francisco. The ideal candidate is an experienced, product-focused generalist who wants to use their skills to bring healthcare to the world. Our stack is Rails, Backbone.js, SCSS, Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, Heroku, RSpec, and Jasmine. You don't have to be familiar with our stack, but you do need to learn fast :)

If you’re interested in learning more, please send whatever info you have (linkedin, github, personal site) to jobs@watsi.org.

nginx doesn't use ini files for configuration, and I seriously doubt that ajenti is going to help you write your own nginx modules.

Python may be popular for web development, but that's not even it's most dominant field. I haven't even heard of any clear winner.
C++ does not have modules. When people say modules they mean how the files compile, and the current way is #include directives which literally copy-pastes the contents of that file into the includer file. This is horribly horrible for compile times, and has been reviled for basically ever.

> My experience playing with RubyMotion was that I would end up reading the docs constantly to learn how to do things in Objective-C and then translate those ideas to Ruby.

I thoroughly recommend ProMotion. Writing RubyMotion apps with it gets rid of most of the boilerplate. I was able to write non-trivial multi-page apps while only consulting Apple's docs a hand full of times.
I wrote this a few years ago, quite the humbling experience every year.

Funny… While I personally like beautiful theory, the last bit of deepish theoretical work I am studying was to solve a particular problem.

I'm currently delving into Earley Parsing, so I can write compilers easily, so I can write DSLs economically, so I can write short programs in any language, so I can spend less time writing those programs, so I can generate less bugs from those programs, so these programs ultimately cost less money$$$.

Then there is Bret Victor, who uses very simple principles to solve the long standing problem of understanding in various domains.

I probably stand in the "the best solutions come from the deepest theories" camp. With the caveat that "deep" does not necessarily mean "complex", on the contrary. Lambda calculus is very deep, but quite simple. So, while I believe problems are the centre of our field, I also believe we need to break down those problems into deep and simple math before we can tackle them efficiently. Not doing so is a recipe for bloat.
Trulia - San Francisco - Full Time

Trulia's real estate search platform serves 50 million unique visitors every month. With an at-scale web experience, category leading apps in both the Play and iOS App stores, and teams working on behavioral search models, home estimates, commute times, and computer vision, we're doing a lot of cool things and have a constant need for mobile and web engineers.
I've worked at Trulia for about 2 years. Employees are taken care of. Engineers have a voice. A successful IPO and healthy balance sheet give us the ability to take on ambitious projects. It's just really a great place to work.

- Competitive comp and equity
- Great benefits, including gym reimbursement and free healthcare
- Fantastic location in downtown San Francisco, close to Bart, Caltrain, the Transbay Terminal, etc.
- Kegs (plural) and a rooftop patio
- Quarterly hack-weeks where meetings are prohibited and engineers work on whatever delights them. (More than a few of these projects get on the roadmap and SHIP)

Check out our Jobs page at http://www.trulia.com/jobs and apply. Or reach out to me, shane at trulia dot com.
There is a critical gap between the sensibilities of Doom/Quake/Duke and Painkiller/Serious Sam: level flow. The latter camp is in varying degrees a series of rooms you get locked into as enemies spawn in waves. The former involves navigating a highly varied environment as you attract the attention of pre-existing enemies.

Sure, on the avatar scale, they play at a similar level. The environments are what really set the earlier generation apart, and in that respect very little approaches that sort of design.

How to make a very bad code testable?
I work on a project that have a bad code and we don't have time to do a great refactor,

At first, I want to turn this code more easy to be testable, even if manually tests.

The code is writen in C# .Net and I want to know how to proceed to create a plan to improve my tests to make me more confident to do a good refactor
It's likely coinbase was chosen simply because it's the easiest way for their victims to buy coins. There is a vulnerability with Pizza businesses in that they trust the caller is making a legit order, and don't ask for pre-payment before delivery thus leaving them open to fraud. Whoever is doing this is clearly bluffing and hoping just a handful of businesses pay the extortion and likely flooded the mail system with these letters. I bet the payment address is the same for each extortion letter meaning they have no way of knowing if a company pays or not.

Coinbase, San Francisco, CA

Hi - I'm Ryan, I'm with Security @ Coinbase. We're trying to make BTC easy to use.

https://coinbase.com/mission

We're building out our security and engineering teams. We are based out of San Francisco, and have remote engineering options. We're a company that cares deeply about our security engineers and how they improve our security every day, and we are looking for more.

We're looking for engineers to build new security features for Coinbase, secure our customers, employees, products and infrastructure from all sorts of threats. We're doing a lot of building, and looking for builders. Today, we're a Rails+AWS shop, with mobile apps and lots more technology being built on the backend. We're also building a culture and a company, so you should care about that stuff too.

We're looking for software engineers, systems engineers, and security engineers... or whatever combination you might be. You should have no problem thinking like a bad guy and be up to date on building defensively. You shouldn't be afraid of an incident and you shouldn't be afraid of getting your hands dirty on new technology.

We've setup some fun tests (On HackerRank) to make sure everyone has a fair shake for an interview (Resumes can only tell us so much anyway) Choose one or more that suits your skillset, have fun, and hope we can talk soon.

> You can certainly question whether it is fair to expect users signing up for a service like Facebook's to read and understand user agreements containing dozens of pages of dense legalese, and which includes a clause consenting to the kind of research under discussion.

This apparently needs a correction: Facebook flat-out did not obtain anything resembling informed consent from their subjects. They added the 'research' blurb four months after they experimented on their users.[1]

No amount of reading the ToS would've informed you that you were a research subject.

The thing everyone seems to be missing is a discussion about what Facebook believes it can do within the parameters of its ToS. I'd love to hear someone from Facebook explain what they believe they can do, ethically and legally, and what would be crossing a bright red line.

Niche Tracker
SERPWoo was created to answer the frustration traditional rank trackers pose - only tracking selected URLs. That process did not give a clear picture of what's really going on in the top SERPs for a niche; nor how to rank properly or automatically track, monitor, and analyze new competitors. We created this tool to fill in those gaps.

Since the search engines have to display all their cards on the search engine results pages (SERPs) we created this tool to allow marketers quick glances and access to the top 20+ results for any given keyword to get a better understanding of how websites are ranking, moving up & down, and generating organic traffic.

We then integrated crucial 3rd party data we utilize everyday like ahrefs, majestic, moz, semrush, social signals, and additional tools to dig deep into a website's SEO structure (on-site & off-site) allowing for a better picture of HOW and WHY the selected website is ranking.
You're right. Thanks for the much needed reality-check.
