Ask HN: Help When should I push for renegotiation?
A year into working at a startup as engineering hire 1 which is currently seeking its series A. Company is less than 10 people.

I've basically been doing CTO-level engineering duties, running the engineering team and doing the design work and establishing best practices. I also meet with the business team to make sure we're building what they want. I interviewed team hires and run day-to-day stuff.

CTO is author of legacy codebase, none of which is customer-facing, and is only available sometimes by email and sometimes stopping by in afternoon. I'm okay with that, because their engineering skills are...well...consistent with PhD. Bright person, shit code, no desire or experience to build for others to work on it.

Anyways, I was hired at below-market (think <70K) with small equity (.5% in options)--reason I took it is because was in rough spot. Have brought up issue, was told "don't worry we'll take care of you after the next round of investment lands". I think that's great (I trust founders), but isn't it going to be harder to rejigger equity once more people are invested?

What should I do?
HN is filled with web professionals. Of course we are gonna look at your source code and offer fixes.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it appears as if you have forgotten to include any contact information on this post.

You should link to Assembly (https://assembly.com/) in your copy; I had to Google for it to determine what the concept was.
Where I live I can do my own installation of water heater, and yes, I had it inspected and i spoke with city inspectors on specific requirements (there were code changes and some additions had to be installed)

Now back to my concern:
1) Plumbers never include inspection into their price, this is always on top of their work
2) I needed to install faucet - it is SUPER simple with today tools available (and yes, I bought these, just because I guess I like to collect tools) And plumbers still ask for $75/hr+

And I talk not about just plumbers, by in general "handy work". plumbers topic I see a bit tricky. Try to bring same argument with just people putting tiles on the wall or laying laminate floor.

Chemical binding energy.

When oxygen combines with hydrogen to form water, it gives off energy equivalent to the change in mass (water molecules are oh-so-slightly less massive than their constitute oxygen and hydrogen atoms). A battery produces power by converting molecules into different molecules with more binding energy (i.e. lighter molecules that have given up more energy/mass).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_energy

When you do all the math, photons have mass/momentum etc. which all keeps everything copacetic.

It's compliant with an EU ruling. It'll keep a few people happy where those people used to think they were the subjects of harassment before.

Hate to be that guy, but I believe jobs boards cannot post in these threads?
"Please do not post recruiting firms or job boards."
It was only when I realized that math begins (or does it?) with what you have (objects, sheep, anything you want to count) and what you can do with them (group, make a set, join two sets, etc). Then I went into a reading spree about all ofthose very basic and foundational aspects of pure math (pure as in "look around you, you can count things, you can group them based on some trait, you can do operations based on groups, you can now think of those groups as the entities to focus on, you can prove certain properties about those groups, etc") and I found it amazing that so much can be known and discovered from starting with just what you see around you.

In the early '70s, there was a global movement in math pedagogy that took this angle to elementary learning.

Instead of arithmetic, first graders were taught set theory. Elements and unions became the first mathematical concepts introduced to 6-year-olds.

In the US, I think they called it "New Math". Here in Finland, set theory was included in the national educational system's grand redesign. Regardless of country, set theory as elementary math seems to have gone out of fashion as quickly as it gained traction, and by the early '80s was out everywhere.

Maybe, if they had stuck with it, we would all be using Haskell now as a side effect :)

(Here's a picture of a very '70s styled Finnish math teacher doing set theory: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vWW22FRIdfc/TobxIw3xF3I/AAAAAAAAHa... -- "Now tell me children, what is the union of green swans and red bears?")
Connexity - Camarillo/Ventura, Los Angeles, CA

Rails and Full-Stack Developers

We're looking for sharp folks eager to unlock the value of big data. We serve about 2 billion of transactions per day with super low latency through our online advertising platform. At that scale, every contribution to our platform can have a huge impact.

We hack on C, Scala, Rails, Redis, Hadoop, HBase and Postgres. We do data analysis with Hive and R. We're likely to get into Spark and Storm in the near future. We don't expect you to be an expert in any of these technologies. In fact, I joined the team as a dyed-in-the-wool .NET guy. More than anything we're looking for the right kind of can-do folks who thrive on building solid systems.

We offer a competitive salary, paid lunch, medical/dental, and uncapped vacation. We work a modified schedule to give us every other Friday off.

Maybe you know Rails but you've been wanting to learn Scala. Maybe you've tinkered with Kafka/Storm on a few EC2 instances but never had a chance to work with a ton of data. Maybe you've wanted to gain deep knowledge of the online advertising industry. We want you. You'll be joining a sharp team with a strong appetite for progress.

I'm one of the engineers, and I'd be happy to chat about our team even if you don't have a resume or consider yourself actively looking for a new gig. If you'd prefer to jump directly into the HR channel, I can connect you with the right folks. Email david.larsen@connexity.com.

Aruba Networks (AirWave group) | Sunnyvale, CA

senior front end / full stack engineer

You've worked with modern JS frameworks such as Backbone / Angular / Ember / Closure. You've worked on a team of at least 3 people. You know JavaScript and one server side scripting language (Perl / Python / Ruby). If this fits you, we want you to help build the UI and APIs for AirWave. AirWave is Aruba's software solution for managing and monitoring the health and usage of massive WiFi deployments. That means building APIs that expose the data we collect about the network and then UI dashboards to present the health of the network in different ways. If this sounds interesting, but you don't have a lot of JS experience we still want to talk to you.

Aruba Networks is a leader in providing enterprise-scale WLAN/edge networking products. Our customers include major universities, giant tech companies, and international retail stores with deployments numbering thousands of access points and tens of thousands of wireless devices.

We practice Agile/extreme programming with short release cycles in a fun, relaxed atmosphere that feels very much like working for a startup -- except without the long hours, and with all the benefits of being part of a larger company (401k, ESPP, open vacation, ability to visit apropos technical conferences, free pizza).

But enough about us, what about you?

You must have a solid grasp of computer science/software engineering concepts, including common data structures and algorithms and object-oriented design. You must also be familiar with at least one flavor of Linux (preferably CentOS/RHEL) and be completely at home on the UNIX command line.

Nice-to-haves: the more of these you can check off, the better:

- version control systems (preferably svn)
- SQL databases (preferably Postgres)
- web stack (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, Apache)
- web frameworks (especially ExpressJS)
- desire for life long learning.
- passion for craft beer
- ability guide a nerf dart to its target

To apply, please send your resume in plain text or PDF format only to airwave-resumes (at) arubanetworks.com

Just to reinforce jgc's point: this object was not "far away" by spectroscopy standards. You can use the same technique for looking at the most distant stars and galaxies in the sky.

When people talk about Hubble (the guy, not the telescope) detecting the expansion of the universe by looking at redshift from distant galaxies, what he was actually looking at were spectral signatures. He saw all the patterns he expected to see from burning stars, but the lines were smeared out. Because he knew the patterns always form a consistent picture of the atomic structure, and he understood the doppler effect, he was able to estimate the distances of those objects quite accurately. Amazing stuff.

> And here's the big one: when you add up all money you spent getting the permits, the fees associated with taking the old one to the dump, the materials, etc. - be sure to also figure out how many hours you spent, multiply by your hourly rate, and subtract.

I am not aware of any trades that do not charge for permits, materials, and disposal fees on top of their hourly rate. The one time I actually called a plumber, the $150/hr was straight labor.

That said, I agree with the gist of your comment. People often underestimate how difficult it is to do things after only working with the simple cases or because they don't understand what is involved in doing something properly.

Resin.io -- Full-time Linux engineer

Location

--------

Remote, or on-site in Athens, Greece

About us

--------

We are building a seamless code delivery platform for embedded devices (like the Raspberry Pi). Think of it as Heroku for the Internet of Things if you must. We've already ported Docker to ARM CPUs and have hit quite a few more Linux, Docker & ARM related milestones internally.
We are a company founded and led by developers and have a strong engineering-led culture. As long as there is progress, we are flexible with regard to location and work hours.

About you

---------

We are looking for Linux talent to work on our cloud services, deployed as Docker containers, but also to work on supporting arbitrary Linux-capable devices. The product is still young so you'll get a chance to have real impact on how the end result looks and feels to our users.
Besides strong Linux skills, familiarity with Docker will help a lot. Much of our codebase (on cloud and device) is in node.js so JavaScript skill is a plus.

The Process

-----------

Send us your CV (a pointer to source code online is a great plus). Those that pass a phone interview will receive a small but paid project as a test. If we like working with you and you like working with us, you'll be offered a full-time job.

Get in touch

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

send your CV to hello@resin.io

I'm a self-taught front-end developer who's worked in a freelance capacity for several years. I'm looking to move into a full-time role at a small company or startup where I can expand my technical skillset and work with a team of cool people on something interesting.
We used one of these at my old job, well the IMB iSeries but the database was started in the early 80s. Fun times, all the employees where still on green screen when I was there (2011-2012). We started to move everyone to a web application that accessed the AS/400 data.
Location: At the moment, DC metro area, US

Remote: Absolutely, remote position preferred.

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Python, Django, JQuery, Git, Linux, Puppet, Postgres. In the past I’ve also worked in the Java, .NET, and PHP ecosystems, but I won’t swamp you with all of those keywords too.

Portfolio: http://grokcode.com/programmer-portfolio/

Hi, I’m Jess. I build things that surprise and delight people, and I use data to make the world a better place. I want to work for a company that does those things too.

By trade I am a software developer. I build awesome webapps and have done a bit of data science work too. Along the way I’ve picked up enough related tech to handle the full stack: frontend, backend, devops, database administration, and even a touch of design and marketing.

My current weapon of choice is Python, but I believe in using the best tool for the job.

I’ve built data-crunching SaaS tools for internet marketers, a hosting dashboard, open source Django apps, Stripe payment integration, WordPress plugins, and a bunch of odds and ends. You can see some of the highlights in my portfolio.

Also, I have a snazzy bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley, and enjoy opportunities for continued education.

For the past few years I’ve been a solo bootstrapper working on Author Alcove, a book discovery service for readers. I’ve hit a bunch of new user milestones, worked through scaling issues, learned a lot, and had a great ride, but now I’m ready to move on to my next big thing.

That big thing is a full-time position with a company that moves quickly – a startup or established company that has lean / agile in it’s DNA. Broadly speaking, I am interested in alternative energy, quantified self, home automation, and developer tools. But there are intensely interesting problems in every industry, and if you are solving them, I would love to hear about it.

At the moment I’m in the D.C. area of the United States. Remote work is preferred, but relocation could work, especially if the location is warm, walkable/bikeable, and low crime.

If you think we could build amazing things together, let’s chat: jess@grokcode.com.
Ask HN: Python/Django Server for Windows?
I've been looking into this seriously for the past week or two.
People say uWSGI is one of the best. But then it's only for Unix (no, I don't want to use Cygwin).
What about FAPWS3? It seems to be doing well in scenarios which are event-based. Not my cup of tea. Am looking for, for a normal web application.
GUnicorn? Oh no .. again, unix flavored!
mod_wsgi : seems to work well with Apache. But I doth not touch that bulky guy called Apache! nor do I have enough expertise to tweak it well enough to perform to my needs.
CherryPy? Not much noise around it, in the Web at least.
Your thoughts? Experiences?

Massachusetts won't change non-compete law
> The parellels to Chinese censorship

We really need a new Godwin.

Comparing this law (remove a small number of very specific search results or face a fine) to Chinese censorship (great firewall; execution and torture and imprisonment for dissidents) is pretty offensive.
