>And 84% of the population on this planet is religious...

This doesn't mean they are fools. In fact, historically speaking religion served to form the basis of civilization. From arts to legal practices, most of our culture has its origin on religious practices and roots, and has evolved from there on (there is tons of anthropological research about it).

Religion is not just about believing in some guy in the sky and his literal actions. Nor do all religions (and religious people) take such things literaly, the way some North Americans that believe in tele-evangelists and such do.

It has been mainly used as a way to codify and pass on social ideas, thoughts about the meaning of life, about how we should treat each other, what is valuable etc.

Sure there are fanatics and violence and all kind of bad things associated with religion. But there are such things associated with everything we do anyway: democracy, revolution, justice everything has been abused and turned to it's opposite at some point or another. Heck, even "humanitarian action" is often used as an excuse to exploit people.

Come help us build the greatest legal technology in the world.

We are mainly looking for extraordinary C# and front-end engineers, but if you are exceptional at what you do, in whatever discipline, please contact us!

What Google is to public information, we will become to private information (which is a much bigger universe).

Contact me directly at krambs@csdisco.com!
I'm constantly amazed at how many people act like their core, mission-critical won't ever fail. It's like the concept of having a "Second Source" has somehow been forgotten.

I don't care how reliable and "guaranteed" something is - if everything collapses if we don't have it, we need backups. Even if everybody does everything right, there's always the "Hit by a Bus" style of risk. ( http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HitByBus )

The Interest Network – Squirrel Product Engineer – May ’14 | August ‘14
My time at The Interest Network saw me rewrite their existing app, Squirrel, from ground up. The backend, which was previously reliant on a BaaS was also written from scratch in Ruby and eventually deployed on Heroku. Other responsibilities included designing the backend architecture, ensuring authentication security, creating an API and creating a delightful iOS experience which would, in turn, work in conjunction with the aforementioned API.

the Other Media – Junior iOS Developer – September ’12 – March ‘13.
My experience at The Other Media was my first in an agency environment. My responsibilities included transforming most of the existing sports apps to be iPhone 5 friendly and squashing any existing or newly discovered bugs. I also built reusable wrappers that were used internally inside multiple applications including one focused on the Store Kit framework. Occasionally, I would help build smaller parts of the interfaces used in the apps. This placement was very much a learning experience and where I gained most of my iOS Dev knowledge.

The Tokyo team develops iKnow! (http://iknow.jp), a cross-platform service specializing in language learning. The current focus of iKnow! is the huge ELL (English language learning) space in Japan. iKnow! is a proven and successful product, with tens of thousands of paying users and almost 10 million hours logged of study time.

With powerful core learning technologies in place, we are now looking to greatly expand the platform. We go from ideas to prototypes to working features quickly, and we’re looking for someone who can help us every step of the way. We think that fast, focused releases are the best way to craft the best learning experiences for our users.

In addition to our core technology stack, we love learning new tools, technologies, and techniques. If you’ve got a favorite language, framework, library, or practice, pitch it to the team, and we’ll explore integrating it into our workflow.

Cerego is interested in engineers who have both engineering proficiency and creativity. We're looking for a front-end engineer who:

• Has experience with a server-side web framework, REST based APIs, and version control
• Feels a sense of ownership and pride over anything he or she builds
• Works well with a small, close-knit team
• Wants to live in Japan and learn Japanese
• Is excited about solving language-learning problems

As a frontend engineer, you'll be primarily working with:

• Ruby on Rails 3+
• HTML/ERB

• CSS/SASS

Your primary responsibilities will be:

• Designing, implementing, and maintaining front-end features
• Expanding the JavaScript-based learning applications to cover new kinds of learning
• Working with the product team to craft the optimal user experience

And you'll be working in:

• A sunlit office in the heart of Shibuya with incredible views of Tokyo and Mt. Fuji on a clear day
• An extremely flexible and friendly working environment

We are a small, dedicated team of passionate individuals who believe in the value of the service we are creating. English proficiency opens many doors in Asia both personally and professionally, and we know our product is that rare product that can actually make a difference in people’s lives.

It depends. If you have only traditional RPG/400 etc experience there are 10 programmers for each job, yes. But, in this marketplace, if you have experience with (traditional) RPG but also modern techniques like OO, Java, etc, you have lots of work for the coming decennia i assure you. These systems don't disappear, but they do have to be "modernized" and refitted to accommodate the changing environment. There is demand for it, but business do not know it's a modern system for which you can build modern software. The traditional RPG programmer will say something like "well XML and web services etc is too difficult, let's just use CSV and FTP like always". These days it's called "IBM i" and you can do about anything with it, there's even a port of node.js for example. It also has a binary compatible AIX subsystem which integrates with the rest. You can even call it (from a programmer's standpoint) - and it officially is - a UNIX system (POSIX compliant that is). Etc. When you see a green screen you see old software, not an old system that only supports green screens. And there are still more than 100.000 individual customers/companies using this system. And lots and lots of old RPG code, which only grows.
My inspiration came from my own SaaS product. I’ve been sending out these one-click email surveys to my inactive users getting feedback on why the product might not be a good fit. The response rates from these are huge. I also noticed several other SaaS products starting to send out emails like this, but no real solution out there to bring all the data together in an informative way. Until now :)

Looks like that idea is dead in the water.

No? ...I'll get my coat.
To be crystal clear, we're talking about human evaluated trust here. You are stating you don't trust him to be the right person to sit on a board of a currency he developed and is spearheading.

If you want to establish reliable evaluations of trust in a human, you have to stay away from biases and blaming statements. Yes, Jed was a cofounder of Mt. Gox. Yes, Mt. Gox caught on fire and burned to the ground. However, to establish a logical connection between those two statements requires a truthfully evaluated statement regarding how Jed was responsible for the fire. To my knowledge, Mark was the one responsible for that fire, not Jed. Mark was responsible for the legal, fiscal, and operational health of that system. Not Jed. You have not pointed to a statement that causes this to evaluate the two statements together and provide correlation.

If you can't do that much, then it's just a blaming statement based an associative bias.

I've been in a bad situation before with co-founders and it didn't end well for anyone. I can't speak for what happened at Ripple with Jed, but the guy has a right to go out and work on what he believes in without being unfairly judged for taking actions that were well within his right of exercising in the past.

Actually the article includes a link to a study on Community Fiber which included San Francisco: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2439429

I haven't read it, but maybe this means there is an SF neighborhood that's rolled this out or at least was studied?
It is simply a matter of degree rather than a fundamental difference however.
Try Creature House Expression. Until MS acquired the company, it was the best alternative to Illustrator out there, with features way beyond anything Adobe could offer.

Last I checked, Microsoft were still offering both Windows and Mac versions as free downloads. The Mac version doesn't work on modern OSX, but the Windows version is awesome - and it works perfectly on WINE too.

Note that this is professional software, with an 'appropriate' learning curve. I love the user interface. The manual is friendly, comprehensive, and very well illustrated.
let me guess, you wrote that on a Mac.
