The Campus Job - New York, NY
Reach out to: joinus at thecampusjob dot com

Our early-stage startup aims to change the way students make money and get work during school. Two years ago, we created a prototype as a side project for fun (no marketing or maintenance), and since then, we’ve have had clients from Fortune 500s to well-known startups sign up for and use our service. However, we’ve decided to quit our cushy jobs at Google + McKinsey, and instead focus on growing this to be bigger and better than ever before… and we need your help. Our new website (with a much larger mission than before) is launching to the public in 1-2 weeks, so we need someone who can join our team as soon as possible (ideally in the next 1-2 months) to help build out cool new features for our quickly growing userbase.

We’re looking for a front-end developer to be the final founding member of our team. You should be experienced with or excited to learn AngularJS. You’ll work closely with our CTO, and we even hope that you can eventually take over the title and managing the entire engineering team as we continue to hire. You’d start by working with the CTO on growing the site, then quickly moving on to your favorite of the other exciting projects we have planned, involving cutting-edge web design, machine learning, natural language processing, and more. The back-end of the site is built in Django with Python, and knowledge of it is not required, though familiarity with Django or Rails could be helpful.

The New York-based team of four includes co-founders from McKinsey and Google, as well as the best salespeople and marketers in the business. We’re really fun, and incredibly diverse. Our interests range from traveling and cooking to hacking to beer-brewing.

We look forward to hearing from you, so please reach out if you’re interested in learning more!

The Must-Haves:
* Degree in CS or equivalent experience (we’re happy to take a look at your code!)
* Front-end web development experience, including mobile-friendly pages
* Experience with Javascript and CSS3
* Experience with or an appetite to become the expert in AngularJS
* A love of college

The Nice-To-Haves:
* Being in New York
* Knowledge of Python
* Familiarity with an MVC framework like Django or Rails
> "self-driving cars will make the controversy over the EU's "right to be forgotten" law look like a polite discussion over a beer."

You misunderstand me. Of course self-driving cars will generate many and expensive legal fights. But those lawsuits will look much like any of our current lawsuits.

That the courts don't understand the technology will not stop jury trials from deciding liability, just as courts not understanding genetic evidence doesn't stop them from throwing people in jail for life based on misunderstandings.

That legislators don't understand the technology will not stop laws from being written any more than their not understanding criminal justice stops them from writing self-defeating "tough on crime" laws and "prison as punishment" regulations that only increase recidivism and multiply the social cost of crimes.

My point is that courts and legislators not having an understanding, let alone answers, is not a stumbling block to self-driving cars. It won't prevent self-driving cars from moving forward until and unless it's addressed.

They'll just blunder through it, making a mess, making mistakes, as they've done with everything else.

Arista Networks - Software and Hardware Engineers

Tags: Networking, Distributed Systems, Operating Systems, SDN

We're shaking up the world of datacenter networking (think switches and routers), led by an incredibly smart and pragmatic engineering team. If you're on the software side, work on a modern software stack (amusingly, that's a rarity in the networking world), and hack on incredibly distributed systems approaching ridiculous scaling requirements, mostly in C++/Python. The hardware side builds some of the meanest and most efficient boxes out there—the things that they churn out of their workshop never ceases to amaze me.

In any case, we're constantly shipping code, genuinely working to improve the state-of-the-art, changing the entire networking industry, and making money while doing it (See: $ANET). It's a pretty fun time - come check us out at http://www.arista.com/en/careers/engineering

Feel free to ask me any questions, too (contact info in my profile).

> The stability of incumbents is an inevitable result of government corruption.

I strongly disagree.

What makes it hard to compete with Microsoft in the consumer PC/office suite space? What makes it hard to compete with Apple or Samsung in the phone/tablet space? What makes it hard to compete with Amazon in the retail space, or Oracle in the DB space? IBM in the IT consulting space? Intel in the desktop CPU space? Google in the search space? Are these companies protected by "government corruption?"

Large companies have certain disadvantages, but in general have overwhelming advantages. Take Apple or Intel, who can throw massive money at manufacturing R&D. An upstart competitor simply can't build a similar product at a similar price point. Take Microsoft, which can exploit massive network effects, or Amazon, which can exploit tremendous efficiencies of scale in logistics. Even in the purely online world, there are benefits to scale, either network effects like Facebook's, or being able to deliver better results because of the sheer volume of data a company like Google has access to.

Consolidation is the natural direction of a market economy, because at the end of the day the market favors efficiency and scale, and Wal-Mart is efficient in a way thousands of little mom & pops aren't. Indeed, if anything, technology accelerates the effect. It's much easier, in a world with internet, instant messaging, etc, to run a 100,000+ employee company efficiently than it was say 50 years ago. As technology gets better, the equilibrium point at which diseconomies of scaling bigger outweigh economies of scaling bigger gets pushed further out.
I work at a startup that uses almost all open source tools for our stack. To not be able to fork, fix, pull request a bug in software seems...barbaric to me.
That being the case, you'd assume that SFBA would plummet down the list, since public transportation on the peninsula is atrocious.
That applies to their social like/share buttons, but it doesn't apply to sites that use Login with Facebook functionality whose users were unable to login for 40 minutes.
That looks neat -- I've been using a somewhat similar little home-baked thing of my own (simple shell script wrapping gpg), largely because I wanted a simple command-line password manager and this 'pass' thing I've been seeing linked in various places strikes me as (a) pretty poorly designed and (b) quite over-sold -- e.g. its author declaring it "standard" when it's clearly nothing of the sort is rather off-putting. There've been patches posted on the xmonad development mailing list recently adding support for it, but I'm really hoping they don't get integrated because I don't view encouraging increased use of it as a good thing.
---Author here---

I should disclose that I actually work for Microsoft, and still chose the hard way. Fuck the police!
IIRC, only if it's statically linked. If it's on the disc as two different binaries that only talk to each other through the OS at runtime, then no, MK8 isn't required to be GPL.

(It's the same principle that allowed Apple to include GCC with Xcode before LLVM came along.)
I worked on AS/400s for 10 years and still consider it the most productive environment I've ever used. Uptime was indeed legendary - our IBM rep told me he knew of an AS/400 running at another site that had been up for over 7 years.
When I search for a particular person's name; on a European server; and that person has asked for information to be de-linked; and the search engine agrees that the information is no longer relevant and the person is not in the public eye and etc; then some URLs won't be returned for some particular search terms.

To compare that to Chinese oppression (you get shot in the head and your family gets a bill for the bullet) is perverse.
I'm really scratching my head. Does it mean load the item to the truck, find a buyer, then delivery to him without dropping it in a warehouse?

I don't think this is going to work. What makes you think there will be an eager buyer? Used furniture is not a very liquid market. Sellers typically ask for more than buyers is willing to pay. It takes time to find a match. Some items will not find a buyer after a long time or never. That's why we need a warehouse.
Honestly I would just be happy with an extension that uses local storage to store notes on a per-contact basis like Rapportive used to. I don't need any other fancy features and don't want to worry about a privacy policy/ToS.
Perhaps I can incorporate my car, and get it some rights!
Is there a word to describe a professional amateur driver?
Sidebar: I haven't done deep C# in several years, since moving to F#.

This code is getting to look butt-ugly. It is not a good thing if it continues like this. We already have C++. Don't need another one.

Ahah, maybe :)

However, the SBC codec library is LGPL, not GPL-only. Notice COPYING.LIB along the COPYING!

Just the main sbcdec and sbcenc are pure GPL, and they are not very long files, so it's likely they rewrote those parts.
Information flow is similar to an electric current. Current flowing through light bulbs and motors does useful things for us...but you want some resistance to that current. If you have no resistance, things break or burst into flames.

It's similar for information flow. Information flow does great things, but without resistance it can cause serious damage.

The internet greatly lowered the resistance. Search engines lowered it even more. I fear that if we do not find some way to increase the resistance, the problem will be addressed at the other end by changing the laws about what goes in the public record.

For instance, maybe arrests will no longer go into the public record--only convictions. That way, people who are arrested and later released due to lack of evidence don't have the arrest following them around. (Bad things make a bigger impression than good things...when someone finds out you were arrested, and then finds out you were let go, the latter usually won't negate the prejudice they have toward you from the former).

Chose? Unless you work on the team that made that DLL, it's likely you'd be jumping through hoops even internally.
That's very close to what I've always done. I have a notification to warn me if I have new failed sign-ups due to payment and keep Paypal responses to catch all sorts of problems. It's just good practice to expect things to fail sometimes. That's also why I have my status page hosted with a different provider and twitter status as a back-up for that.

My favorite Paypal annoyance is that for split payments there's no way to verify that a seller's Paypal account qualifies for split payments (has to be a business account and verified), without trying to send a payment. At least, that's the way it was last it mattered to me.

I did this once with GCC.

"But GCC's open source!" you say.

Well, GCC is next-to-impossible to compile for a target other than the host, especially if the target isn't x86 or ARM; and GCC maintainers insist on precise test cases to vet a bug, even if the issue is immediately obvious from reading the source code and the bug only occurs in certain very complex situations.

Dominance of large players is indeed a reason for less "dynamism".

The flaw would be to assume that more dynamism, in and of itself, is better. For example it could come from many small players reinventing wheels (i.e. each Mom-and-Pop shop in my example above having their own supply chain).
That's skeevy, beyond using the Rapportive API.
