"Smoke & Mirrors is a leading Post Production and VFX transcreation house in need of a new guru - join our small team, make a difference!"

ABOUT THE COMPANY

===

Smoke & Mirrors is a leading Post Production and VFX transcreation house. We work in the heart of Soho, in the thick of a great creative media environment. We work with and share chic new office space with some brother and sister companies who are doing similar high-end work delivering brand messages for our clients in over 180 countries and in over 200 languages. 150,000 brand marketeers, procurement specialists and agency partners access our services and technology each and every month.

ABOUT THE JOB

===

We need a talented front end web dev to help build more intelligent application suites, in an agile environment, to service internal projects.

We’re a small team looking for a well-rounded developer, but whose current interest and focus is on UI and is interested in performance, data-intensive web apps and automated testing.

We have an existing groundbreaking internal application engine - which uses semantic-web technologies - that’s ready for launch: it’s been designed to flexibly model many business processes to eventually replace multiple legacy applications. You’ll continue that project with the existing backend-focused developer, with the goal of shaping the framework to forge into our second business-domain app replacement, whilst continuing to shape the code for further launches.

You’ll also get the opportunity to contribute ideas and code to Smoke & Mirrors’ ongoing involvement in UK government-backed cutting-edge research projects where there's scope to learn a lot of new technologies from talented and venerated academics and professionals.

Apply here:

===

- Take ownership of the design and development of our new internal business application

- Helping with UI, design and collaborative ideas and architecture for multi-party projects

- Minor ad-hoc support for existing apps/scripting that support our use of high-end video post-production applications (but really we’re interested in replacing old processes, not propping them up)

Experience

===

- Several years’ hands-on web development experience

- Computer Science Qualification

- Excellent Javascript skills

- Deep knowledge of HTML5/CSS3

- Angular JS >1 year dev

- Node.js proven experience

- REST, web sockets

- Commitment to unit testing

- Awareness of performance issues

- GIT

Nice to have

===

- Knowledge of semantic web technologies: RDF/ Triple Store / SPARQL

ABOUT THE JOB AND WORK ENVIRONMENT

===

- Agile environment – set goals and deliverable

- Standard Office hours – no death marches….

- Fun, young, media-based, atmosphere – kickstart your social life…

Yeah I thought about putting the old colors below as I agree it's not nice to see first - maybe I'll try that out this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.
Well, I haven't actually used this yet, but I was thinking that you might be able to convince someone to trust the gateway that issued the USD you're trying to trade them.
I am particularly amazed at the co-ordination of the movies and the TV series Agents of Shield. Way back when I was at USC professor Arthur Knight used to joke about movies "You can know when it will be done, or you can know it will be good, but not both." because of the challenges of managing a movie production schedule. That Marvel could pull off Thor: The Dark World, have it hit theaters when events in the TV series matched up, that floored me.
I'm the right age to have done this when I started school. My memory is of it is playing with lots of wooden bricks that were marked with lines to show their length. It felt well taught but I'm not sure how well the rest of the class picked it up.
Attractive, but demanding, and who knows how long it could last, a month or two? Less the expenses it sounds like a number that could attract the providers what they need.
Pretty easy to change if you want :) I just rarely use straight black.
I think you just won the challenge.
Maker Media (makerfaire, makezine) is Hiring a full-stack hacker (rails, node, web apps)

Description:

When you look up and out over the city, does your mind drift towards questions about how the world works? Do you feel like you could do more than what you're doing now? Deep in the vast blue grand planet there exists a voice calling you, growing from a whisper all the way to a roaring rush of inspiration: Build.

We want to do great things too. We want to inspire this driving voice in others. We're a small group inside of Make (makezine, makerfaire, etc), that is setting out on a journey to explore how people interact, share, and publish their experiences online. This isn't code for stealth mode, you'll be shaping a product from its inception, launch, and beyond.

We're looking for critical thinkers that also want to bring smart talent to the pack. If you enjoy building projects from scratch, wearing many hats, and learning a lot along the way, then this is your place.

These are some of the things we're immediately looking for:

- Full-stack developers with startup experience. (Experience scaling is a big plus)
- JS (Front-end frameworks)
- Rails, Node
- Postgres, MongoDB, MySQL, etc (Use what works)
- Bonus: Having read Diamond Age, Snow Crash, Neuromancer
- Extra Bonus: Interest in Machine Learning

What we offer:

- Typical equipment you would expect: Laptop, Monitor, Food/Snacks
- Free passes to Make events

Our culture:

- On Fridays, we'll build extracurricular software/hardware projects. Want to learn how to use an oscilloscope, code some microcontrollers, build an autonomous robot, or talk to a satellite? Cool. We'll hack on that.
- We have access to awesome amounts of makers. We'll bring some of them in every month to chat with us.
- We're also right by the Exploratorium: Expect field trips.

Find out more:

Send us an email with some projects you've created. Bonus points for launching and having actual battlefield stories.

The sections on Regularization and Dropout have some amazing prose. I haven't read any of the other chapters, but just skimming through those sections have helped enlighten me on quite a few things that have confused me for years in completely different mediums...Such as why a random forest made up of randomly selected simple CARTs generally predicts better than a single complex CART, or why fitting a distribution to empirical data can benefit from using AIC or BIC methods.

TL;DR: I read two points. One is contradicted by multiple sources at Wikipedia, the other argues that everything pipy dislikes from USA can be ignored. I quit the discussion in disgust over wasted time. :-(

>>Yes, what I argue is that the current insurgency is supported by population of Donetsk and Luhansk regions and I've provided sources for that statement

(I don't bother to look up your references, since it certainly won't be from mainstream media or similar.)

You are contradicted by Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donetsk_People%27s_Republic#Pub...

In a poll [..] in the first half of February 2014, 33.2% of polled in Donetsk Oblast believed "Ukraine and Russia must unite into a single state".[27]

According to a poll [...] 66% of Donetsk residents view their future in a united Ukraine

A second poll conducted 26–29 March showed that 77% of residents condemned the takeover of administrative buildings, while 16% support such actions. Furthermore, 40.8% of Donetsk citizens support rallies for Ukraine's unity, while 26.5% support rallies which are pro-Russia

And so on.

>> Money quote from the BBC article: "the US says it has evidence that Russia has fired artillery across the border targeting Ukrainian military positions". [Etc.]

The first thing I check is contradicted by Wikipedia (that and its sources is a conspiracy too?).

The second "argument" I read is "We can ignore that, USA just lies". (It is hardly just USA that claimed Assad used nerve gas. Any proofs against? Never mind, you read it in Putin's media so it must be true.)

Seriously? That is what you have?

I have spent too much time on this. :-(

Vurb - San Francisco, CA - http://vurb.com

We won TechCrunch Disrupt NYC - http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/05/vurb/

Vurb is working on reinventing search, browsing, and sharing - by creating an intelligent layer over the Internet that helps you get things done in one place. Rather than opening lots of windows/tabs or hopping from mobile app to mobile app, we're building a platform that brings everything together.

We do this by connecting the services we use in a contextual way, through data technologies (search, machine learning, big data, etc.) and original thinking around UI/UX.

We're very well funded - Max Levchin, Drew Houston (Dropbox), Naval Ravikant (AngelList), CrunchFund, and many others. This is a hard problem, but it has the potential to change the behavior of how we do things on the Internet (and make it fun!)

Full-time opportunities in San Francisco (interview on-site, H1B transfers OK)

* Search / Data Scientist / Data Engineer - search, classification, ranking, ML, recommendation systems, NLP, graph dbs, data crawling/processing. Search experience strongly desired.

* Full-stack Engineer - experience in JavaScript and async programming (e.g., node.js) a plus

* Lead Android Engineer - help bring our Android version to market

* Lead Designer - sharp eye for visual and/or UX design - please include your portfolio or Dribbble

The main need for community fiber is because we've proven that private companies cannot be trusted with a broadband monopoly/duopoly and yet to allow more companies to run lines would create chaos. For that reason, the community needs to control the last mile. But the community doesn't need to be the ISP. Without the barrier to entry that is running lines to residential customers, many smaller ISPs will be able to compete with each other and you'll see the market actually work the way that it's supposed to.

So run the fiber to people's houses and charge ISPs a fixed fee per customer that covers the cost to maintain the network and, potentially, recovers a bit of the initial expense of the network. But then let customers choose their ISP based on speed and features. The worst thing you can do is replace the crap fully-private system we have now with a slightly-less crappy government monopoly.
This article makes the argument "The Secret Ingredient to the best Startup Fundraising Pitches is that there is no secret ingredient; you have to figure it out for yourself," which is not particularly insightful.

Barriers faced by newcomers to open source projects: a systematic review [pdf]
I don't know the details of PHP, but it seems to me that all the areas that are referred to as "implementation-dependent" are code-observable: e.g. the deferred array copying decision discussed in the critique: if your code depends on a behavior, you'll get different results on the other platform. So if you want to be portable, you need to sniff the behavior and take a different route on the alternate platform, or you need to avoid the quicksand in the first place.

So far, Marvel is on a roll, like Pixar was for a time, racking up a string of successes. Guardians of the Galaxy seems to be another home run. But how long can they keep it up, and will hype and fan expectations make Avengers 2 an inevitable let-down?
Show HN: Goat, a REST api server in Go
Yes, they are an incredibly well-oiled machine. An old friend and former colleague of mine is one of their producers and development executives, and I can say without hesitation that he works harder than anyone else I know in that business. Marvel is in a state of continuous production on all of its properties, all of which are centrally coordinated.

This wasn't always the case. Historically, Marvel has had different licensing deals set up at different studios: X-Men and Fantastic Four with Fox; Spiderman with Sony; etc. When it set about creating the Avengers initiative, it realized the logistical benefits of keeping everything under one roof. The Disney acquisition helped with that. The company still does projects under the terms of its legacy deals (see: the Spiderman reboots still being made at Sony, presumably at Sony's request, to exercise and thus keep its deal active). But the magic seems to be happening with the more centrally coordinated projects, like Thor/Iron Man/Cpt America/SHIELD/Avengers.
>No, we don't.

You're right. I think the standard way of dealing of them here is to hire a lawyer to file a copyright on the images or video and DMCA the host, which only works if the person depicted is legally the owner of the material (like sexting selfies.) Otherwise, people file a case against the owner of the image for harassment or hacking (or something in that vein) and get a judge to issue a court order to take it down as part of a possible crime.

It's a pretty awful and expensive state of affairs (at least in the US.) The larger question is what this "right to be forgotten" attempts to answer in a more general sense, which is whether you should be able to force people to take these things down at all. I tend to say no. I don't think sexuality should differentiate your right to distribute content from any other reason, so, sadly, I think the current state of US law is mostly a good one.

I think that if you don't have a right to be forgotten, you also shouldn't have a right for your sex tape to be forgotten.
And which/how many of those would it take to justify a special trip to a special-purpose building to introduce people to it?

Their more-interesting projects would make a particularly-popular exhibition in an interactive museum. And that's about it.

e.g.

Why would someone want to spend more than 5 minutes on a 3D mapping phone? What would they do with 3D models, aside from playing Interior Decorator in their own living room or Hollywood Makeup Artist on their own face?

Those are neat ideas, don't get me wrong. But while more apps may eventually be found, it could hardly justify a specialized gadget for most people as-is. Particularly when traditional mobile device cameras are turning out inferior-but-quite-usable versions of those same apps.

Google Glass is similar. There's been a handful of really compelling use cases for HMDs for more than a decade. But the general public has never had more than about a 2-minute-demo-reel level of interest. And Google hasn't found/developed anything in Glass, yet, that changes things for people who already have a magical slab of glass in their pocket, everywhere they go.

(Google's actually dug a slightly deeper hole, in that people's 2-minutes-worth of interest in Glass was quickly dominated by how incredibly unsettling connected cameras can be, when they're potentially on anyone, anywhere. Including on the anti- and a-social, in places where people had traditionally let their guard down.)
StrataCloud - Atlanta, GA - FULLTIME LOCAL

We're doing some pretty neat things in the virtualization/datacenter management space (converged infrastructure management). We've got a distributed, scalable backend written in Erlang and Python, fronted by a single-page application written using Coffeescript using Node.js and Backbone. We have some marquee customers already and are looking to grow significantly this year.

On the technical side we're looking for developers to work on the product (frontend and backend) as well as develop an expansive automated test suite. We're currently a small team and want to hire people like ourselves: smart, motivated individuals who enjoy the challenge of growing a company.

In additional to technical folks we're also looking for the following:

* Account Executives

* Sales Engineering

* Marketing manager

* Account Management/Support
