Yahoo Fantasy Sports - http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy - Sunnyvale, CA

We are the #1 fantasy sports destination on the web. Fantasy Sports is a booming industry that is growing every year and has one of the most passionate and engaged users on the web.

We have several positions that we are currently trying to hire for as we try to bring home the championship. Sports and fantasy knowledge is a plus, but not required. Just a willingness to get a little crazy and watch sports! Watching sports will be a part of your job, how cool is that? Here is what we are hiring for:

1. Data Scientist - We have some of the largest warehouses of both user generated and sports data anywhere. This is a sports nuts' dream! Apply for this if you love figuring out what users are doing and how to iterate on the product based on numbers.

2. Backend engineer - We are creating a new, state of the art backend infrastructure. Fantasy Sports is one of the most challenging backends on the web, due to the spiky nature of traffic. During an NFL Sunday, our peak RPS can exceed twitter! Apply for this if you love massive scaling and performance optimization.

3. Mobile engineer - Looking for both iOS and Android expertise. I was acquired by Yahoo last year (http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/01/yahoo-acquires-bignoggins-a...), and my goal is to make Yahoo Fantasy Sports the runaway leader in mobile sports apps. We have a great team of designers and developers, and Yahoo mobile is actually now the largest mobile development organization in the world! We are taking mobile seriously, and you can help us get there.

4. SDET - For fantasy sports, we can NOT make mistakes. No fumbles, no turnovers, nothing. Our crack team of SDETs writes automated test scripts and build testing and release infrastructure to make sure that the devs can move fast and (not) break things!

Yahoo may not be the most glamorous company in the Valley, and we definitely don't have it all figured out. Most startups let you make a big impact in a small pond, and a big company lets you make a small impact in a big pond. Yahoo is the rare opportunity to make a big impact in a big pond. There is a lot of low hanging fruit that we need to solve, and if you want to be part of one of the most epic turnaround stories in the Valley, then hit me up!

If you wanna come kick ass and chew bubble gum, hit me up at bignoggins@yahoo-inc.com!
SEEKING WORK - Remote, Boston

I'm a product-focused front-end developer with some available time as a consultant for new interesting projects. I say I'm product-focused because I care deeply about UI/UX, and although I'm not a designer, I obviously know my way around Photoshop. I have a keen product sense, strong opinions on how interfaces should be built, eye for element weights on a site, and I care deeply that the projects I work on meet their product goals, not just that I code what I promised to code.

Looking to contribute to a meaningful product!

The technologies I've spent the most time with are HTML/Sass/CSS/jQuery/JS/PHP/WP.. and recently spent a little time in Rails, CoffeeScript, and Backbone environments.

Basically, the US government's approach is "If you want to clear US dollars, you must conform to our laws."

The following explanation will simplify things somewhat in the interest of brevity.

Basically, all dollars (the ones that aren't physical cash, anyway) are ultimately held in accounts at one of the Federal Reserve banks. Banks like Citi, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan and Bank of America have accounts at the Federal Reserve. When clients of those banks transfer US dollars to someone who's a client of another bank, the real transfer of dollars takes place between the banks' accounts at the Federal Reserve.

If your bank doesn't have an account at the Federal Reserve, then it needs to have an account with a bank that has an account at the Federal Reserve. (Or with a bank that has an account with a bank that has an account at the Federal Reserve, etc.)

To be a member of the Federal Reserve, you need to hold a banking license in the US, which means that you are subject to US laws (because, if you ignore them, the US authorities will take your banking license away). You'll also have an office there (probably in New York) but that's kind of incidental.

So, if you're a bank with a US banking license, and one of your clients annoys the US authorities, they can basically say "Stop doing business with that client." (or, in other words, impose sanctions). If you refuse to comply, they can take your licence away.

That's effectively what happened with BNP Paribas - they were clearing US dollar transactions for clients that were subject to US sanctions. So, BNP has been effectively grounded for a year. Instead of going direct to the Federal Reserve to transfer US dollars to other banks, it will need to become a client of another bank that's a member of the Fed.

It's embarassing, it'll cost them money (they'll have to pay the other bank) and they may well lose some business (from clients who want to deal with a top-tier US dollar clearing bank).

In theory, they could have just turned around and said "Screw you, we're not paying any fine!", in which case the US authorities would have withdrawn their US banking license, seized any assets they could get their hands on (e.g. the dollars they have in their account at the Federal Reserve) and blacklisted the company, so no other US bank would do business with them. That would effectively have prevented them from doing any business in US dollars.

To be a proper, credible international bank like BNP, you need to be able to handle US dollars. Hence, BNP is prepared to pay the fine. The alternative would be to effectively downsize massively.
The U.S. has historically had more robust anti-corruption laws and has been more aggressive about extending them to conduct of U.S. businesses operating abroad. For example, it is illegal under U.S. law for U.S. companies to bribe foreign officials, while it is not necessarily illegal under European laws, or not as aggressively prosecuted. U.S. banks have more experience operating under this regime and are more familiar as to how to toe the line. European companies are more likely to trip up, either because they have less experience with compliance or because they think they are less likely to get caught.
You don't the publicity is more important than the amount of commerce transacted on it? Every one of these companies get the press when they indicate they accept bitcoin. I remain skeptical as to how many are doing any sort of volume in bitcoin transaction
i had this idea and found that there are lot of these.. its a tough one to get successful in because amazon etc are already big time in it, unless you can reduce the product cost itself.
I came to FRP in a functionall language (Haskell) so I am not sure how applicable my experience is.

Often, you can treat the stream element as an implementation detail. Where possible, you simply define the state of widget A to be a function of the state of widget B. Keeping in mind that this is implemented in terms of streams will tell you what function to use to make this specification. In this line of thinking, I often think of the system as a static network, where each node (representing a widget) is a pure function converting some inputs to output (or has no input and produce a constant output). A widget can also set its appearence based on its input.

When the user provides input to a widget (in this model), the corresponding node itself changes to produce a different output (giving you a new, static, graph). For simplicity, I will assume that all user-input widgets correspond to output only nodes.

For example, consider a netwwork, X, with node A corresponding to a textbox. A takes no input, and outputs the constant of the current value of the textbox. Imagine that we know what the value of the textbox will be at all times, and want to animate the entire window. To do this, we can stream in the values of the textbox, and let the network update itself. In this way the textbox is sending a stream of strings into the rest of the network.

Moving to a lower level, consider how the textbox itself is implemented. While we can think of it as output only (as I almost always do), it can be implemented as taking a stream of key-events, and outputing a stream of strings. At this level, I take an event driven perspective. While the textbox recieves a 'stream' of key-events, and outputs a 'stream' of strings, what really happens is that whenever there is a key event, the textbox receives it, and emits a string event, in the same way that you might have an onEvent() handler call onStringChange() in a traditioanl OO design.

In writing this, and re-reading your question, I think the key difference is that I do not view UI elements as a stream. Instead they are static object that streams pass through. As streams pass through them, they be update the stream or themselves.
This is yet another example of why you should never mix business and pleasure. Starting a business with your significant other, from a risk perspective, is simply a bad idea. While she was dating him, Ms. Wolfe probably thought Mr. Mateen was the greatest guy ever. She probably saw the opportunity to start a company with him as life-changing.

There is no way to predict how your significant other will handle a breakup. Any breakup is emotionally wrecking, and seeing each other every day only makes it worse for everybody. I do not envy either of them.

Mr. Mateen's behavior is deplorable, but not exactly surprising. There are only a few ways to handle a breakup. Some are positive, some are negative, but this behavior is definitely on the list of possibilities. Ms. Wolfe should have recognized that risk when she went into business with her boyfriend.

In normal circumstances, she could just ignore him and he would (hopefully) cool off. But obviously she can't do that when she works closely with him.

When she began dating Mr. Mateen, there was a risk she would break up with him, and a subsequent risk he would act insane because of it. When she went into business with Mr. Mateen, she lost her options of mitigating that risk sacrificing her ability to ignore him in the event of emotional catastrophe.

This sucks for everybody involved, but especially for her.

This guy seems like a real piece of shit.
It destroys people's livelihoods. Regular workers in Vancouver have to pay an absurdly high percentage of their income towards their mortgage payments, because of outside investors that jack up prices and provide no economic growth to the city.
Speaking as someone with minimal 4chan experience, /b/ is probably not "the good bits," but is only a subset of the rest of the site. There is often good discussion on music and movies, for instance.
Even without this, there was a 100% chance the guy at the helm of Tinder was a gargantuan douche.
I would leave it off. Taken over all the position you may apply to, my guess is that it will have more negative than positive effects.
> The NFL is considered a non-profit organization by the IRS, yet all of the teams which associate with its branding reap enormous profits.

The NFL is a 501(c)(6) trade association, so that's expected. Its not a 501(c)(3) charity.

The rules are completely different.
I'm saying I would prefer it if their governments didn't have the ability to limit who their citizens can trade with, yes.
But HSBC isn't a US bank, it's UK-based. So the pattern still holds.
Um... no, it says you can have a reasonable number of exclusive arrangements, each with one third party each.

Given the practical history of C++ implementations, this may be rather optimistic... Though it does seem to be calming down a bit. Unfortunately, my first real work with C++ was with GCC2.96 (the phantom Redhat version of GCC); scarred me for life :)
Could this have anything to do with Operation Choke Point?

It's actually asking happening to new Apple customers as well. My wife got an iPad and signed into Messages thinking she could use it like Messages on her mac – instead it broke her android phone°.

She has since stop using the iPad I think largely because her initial interactions with it were so poor. This is actually hurting Apple's goals.

° I assume this means she entered her phone number as a contact address - but frankly the experience is so horrible that she's unwilling to talk about it.
I used to agree with this, until I realized that without goals, I had nothing to really strive for. Nothing to stretch myself towards. Nothing to achieve.

To illustrate, a poor car metaphor: Your system might be to drive yourself constantly and to keep moving forward. However, without a destination, you could drive yourself around in circles and consider it to be progress by process, when you really could be driving to Brazil.

To relate this to reality, my system for a long time was to become great at programming. To become a mentor, to become someone people would look up to. Five years later, and this is all true. However, I'm still just a developer. I've become quite good at my craft (enough so that finding a mentor in my physical area is truly difficult), but I'm still just a developer. A cog in someone else's mechanism, my job and livelyhood at someone else's mercy.

Add a goal, however, of running the technical parts of the company I work for, and suddenly I have a reason to do things. To stretch myself. My days aren't filled with loosing because I don't run it all yet, but they're filled with small steps towards that goal. I'm using my processes to achieve the goal, and every step towards that goal is a win, not a loss. And that's not my final goal, either. It's just a step towards it.
me and my friend tried it with sweet submarine. Basically chocolates and candy boxes from around the world. Tried raising on indiegogo as well but didnt really worked out.

Stop using PayPal for fund raising already. Haven't we gone through enough of these stories yet?
I'm in the exact same boat. Non-active, former member. In my experience, while I've never listed it on my resume, the few times it's ever come up, from interviews to casual conversation, it's only served to bias folks against me.

This experience is only anecdotal, and there may be a case where such membership is valued (e.g., Google, maybe?), but it's never been a positive benefit for me.
HN has an international audience. Many people here do not speak English as a first language and you could help those people by being a bit clearer with your communication.

Guevara launch – we need your help
After months under wraps we're launching Guevara – http://heyguevara.com - the first peer-to-peer car insurance product. As we launch, we're also going to be blogging everything that happens, all the stats we can think of, whether the servers fall over, and anything else behind the scenes that you might want to see.

We'd appreciate your feedback here or @heyguevara and let us know if there's anything you'd like us to post about on the launch blog:

"We count down from three, we hold our breath, and we hit send on a message that announces our existence to the world." http://heyguevara.tumblr.com

> Not sure what you mean by that. Does Linux have any protections beyond Windows to stop malware? Why does Android have a malware problem?

This is the key question that I'd like to hear the answer to.

People often claim Linux/OS X/et al are more secure but they struggle to explain WHY. What technical mechanism is in place in those systems that is not in place in [current] Windows? A few years ago you could definitely name a few things (i.e. before UAC, and a few other things) but now?

I'm certain something like SELinux or AppArmor makes for a more secure system, but last time I installed a consumer distro (namely Mint and Ubuntu) they weren't shipped as standard and often broke quite a lot of default packages upon their installation.

As an aside: In my experience Windows has become less "malware ridden" since XP. Vista, 7, and 8 often survive much longer without anything bad happening. It does still happen, it just isn't as common as it used to be (e.g. 1/5 consumer PCs now instead of 3/5 or more).
> This is much more in depth

This is Hacker News, so I'll explain it to you this way: this is specifically _not_ in depth. Have you ever done sales? The idea is that you need to figure out if your customer wants to buy as quickly as possible, and if they don't, move on. If they do, _then_ you move into the longform stuff. If your customer isn't going to buy, it wastes both you and their time.

The idea of this short introduction is to split you into one of two camps: "I want to know more about Rust," or "ewww." If you're in camp one, heading over to the tutorial or Rust by Example is great!
Don't forget that anyone who converts bitcoins into US dollars is classified as a money services business by FinCEN, which means that it must get a license. http://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/FIN-2013-G...
