iRobot (http://www.irobot.com) - Bedford, MA (just outside of Boston, MA) and Pasadena, CA

Looking for great work-life balance at a job where you can say "I can't find my keyboard under all these robots!" ? Want a place with half-day Fridays during the summer so you can get to the beach on a Friday afternoon? Then iRobot might be the place for you.

We blend cutting-edge research and practical engineering to build useful and affordable robots.

We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should probably think robots are cool, but a robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)

iRobot is looking for software engineers and mechanical engineers.

Here are a few of our 20+ job openings:

* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.

* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping

* Test engineers

* Mechanical engineers

* IT engineers

Check our jobs site for all positions: http://www.irobot.com/us/Company/Careers.aspx

Email me directly if you'd like to know more: csvec@irobot.com

PS: We have hired people from these "Who is hiring?" posts, thanks to HN for this service/forum!
We had some front-end dev positions listed but they may have been filled. There could be something here if you are interested: https://ibm.referrals.selectminds.com/jobs/search/14564610

Even though we are IBM our Squirrel Hill office is still very much like a startup environment. We've done as much as we could to keep our own culture after acquisition.
The top comment (on the actual article) suggests that the effect may be a result of dark matter resonance:

http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.111...

Which is way over my head, but interesting.
Ask HN: Data on What Fraction of Startups are Profitable?
Pretty much what it says in the title. Does anyone know where to find data on what fraction of (tech) startups are profitable? And just to be clear, by profitable I don't mean profitable for the investors or owners, but that the business makes more than it costs to run.

I'm asking specifically because entrepreneurship is often vaunted as an excellent career path for smart, ambitious people, but there is a lack of transparency about how many people succeed and how much of that success is due to building a real business vs getting acquired without real profit.
This is how I like to think that people who design software for weapons systems live.

Ask HN: What are you offering?
The Who is Hiring and the Who wants to be Hired are pretty popular and a monthly staple of HN. I was wondering if anyone else would be interested if we could get whoishiring to also submit a monthly "What are you offering?", or something with a better title, where startups can put a link to their product in the same vein as these other posts. You could include a URL, a price, and a description.

Thoughts?
> As far as I can tell, your link [1] implies that the only reason Kiev is using air strikes or artillery is because of the presence of hostile military forces in their sovereign territory.

No, it doesn't. Because there is no evidence of massive Russian troop presence, not to my knowledge. This is why you cannot attribute the sheer scale of Ukrainian Government actions to this issue.

I will quote the article for your convenience:

Poroshenko’s “peace plan” and June 21 cease-fire may have seemed such an opportunity, except for their two core conditions: fighters in the southeast first had to “lay down their arms,” and he alone would decide with whom to negotiate peace. The terms seemed more akin to conditions of surrender, and were probably the real reason Poroshenko unilaterally ended the cease-fire on July 1 and intensified Kiev’s assault on eastern cities, initially on the smaller towns of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, which their defenders abandoned—to prevent more civilian casualities, they said—on July 5–6. [1]

The fact that there is a genuine insurgency by the Eastern Ukrainians that is not attributable to Russian influence has been supported by multiple experts from different countries. [2]

Even the sociologist that gets his money from US State Department says that:

"And the polls which were done in the first half of [May--and?] it means after massacre in Odessa and after very brutal attack on Mariupol by Ukrainian forces, they were showing that at least even in Donbass there are various--some sort of support for the claims of separatists, and the people in Donbas saw their seizure of governmental buildings as people's [incompr.] not as a terrorist act, not as a Russian intervention. But this were the public opinion in Donbass." [3]

>He wouldn't be fined or jailed in the U.S. either, due to the First Amendment (although maybe you could make a good case that it's "hate speech"). Does that make the U.S. "fascist"?

OK, for me it was too emotional to claim this and to talk about this TV show.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES (http://PSYT.co.uk) — London, UK

* Seeking: experienced Android and/or full stack engineer

WHAT WE DO. We’re a tech startup creating corporate and consumer products to measure and enhance wellbeing and productivity. There are two strands to what we do. First, we quantify cognitive and psychological states, such as attention or happiness. Second, we deliver interventions, such as mindfulness, to boost cognitive and psychological skills. Web and mobile apps are key to both these strands.

WHO WE ARE. Our backgrounds span finance, psychology, technology, and design. CTO George leads on the measurement side, having mapped the nation’s wellbeing with the Mappiness app (http://mappiness.org.uk). CEO Nick leads on interventions, as the former Head of Research for successful mindfulness app Headspace (http://www.getsomeheadspace.com).

WHAT WE USE. We love CoffeeScript, both in the browser and for our internal app logic. Our back-end is largely Postgres and Ruby. We could imagine using Node, Python, Go and/or R at some point; maybe other things too. Our iOS apps are C and Objective-C, of course, with liberal use of SpriteKit and Accelerate. We’ve tried RubyMotion (impressive, but probably not for us) and we’re playing with Swift. Our Android apps don’t exist yet, and that might be where you come in.

WHO YOU MIGHT BE. We’re looking for someone smart, opinionated, and enthusiastic (in the face of interesting work). Someone with solid experience in web, Android (especially) and/or iOS app development, who likes learning, and who agrees that UX is the most important — and usually the hardest — thing to get right. Bonus points for any of: user testing, sysadmin or database expertise; an interesting technical blog or Github/BitBucket profile; and an interest in mindfulness or subjective wellbeing.

WHERE WE’RE AT. Geographically we’re currently at Nuffield Health's offices in Epsom (free gym and lovely offices), but a move to London (or just possibly Brighton) is likely in the works over the next 6 months. We have just completed our first investment round. Currently our CTO does all development, so you’d be our first developer hire. That means we can be flexible about the work you take on, playing to your strengths and your preferences. That also means you can expect to help guide our development and share in our success.

Don't know but according to Wikipedia they bought it in 2012 for $70 million. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salesforce.com

This is rather alarming since they also recently shut the doors on do.com that was also an acquisition: Manymoon (February 2011) – now known as Do.com[6] "bought the company for $25 million to $35 million" - http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/27/salesforce-coms-odd-decisio...

That's $105 million down the drain between those two. Not to mention whatever they invested in the couple years they owned them. Ouch.

He'll know if it was up to code if the place ever burns down and nobody finds fault with the installation. Note that insurance companies just love to find reasons not to pay out and if your installations was crap and your unlicensed work was the cause of the fire then you're in very hot (cold?) water.

That's why water and sewage are less of a problem, they can still cause a crapload (hehe) of damage but the chances of injury or death of others is much less than when working with gas. Especially in places like apartment buildings.

I'm more interested in smaller towns: Boulder and Ft. Collins in particular, if anyone has anything to say about those. Denver's a bit big for my tastes. Thanks though!
:) some real serious question that is! Appreciate that you asked! Not me. Not anyone I know of, in my startup-friends' circle of about 10 firms!
Be aware that LinkedIn profiles are not necessarily visible to everyone, even if you think it's public, especially if people are logged in to LinkedIn.

For instance, I'm usually logged in to LinkedIn, and your LinkedIn profile may be blocked or only partially visible because we're not "connected" enough.
To me it feels like the majority of progress and innovation in tech is in startups, but the majority of activity is uninnovative. For example, a lot gets done in the enterprise software market, though most of it is very boring and uncreative from a technical perspective.
Fix the hover effect on the buttons. The click too. Don't remove the border, make it white. Or if you remove it, put a margin that is the same height as the border was.
A warning: this still seems very buggy, it seems to not have an easy easy way to delete an account, and even deleting individual entries is not totally reliable (deleted entries seem to stay in the list).

So unless you want to spend a lot of time repeatedly trying to delete duplicates (created by failed imports) and/or every single entry, stay away, for now.
Ask HN: Should I accept an at will job offer with a pay increase
I feel pretty uneasy about the "at-will" thing, I'm in a pretty comfortable spot right now and it'd be a shame to leave my current job for a 25% pay increase only to lose my job for something out of my control.

There are multiple philosophical conversations that the author omits from the review entirely.
It was a bizarre idea, in step with the tone-deaf nature of Google's leadership which seems to exhibit traits of megalomania. I like ambitious projects, I like people creating new things, but some of the words that come out people's mouths about creating places in the world to experiment without regulation, and that people's expectations of privacy are wrong, etc. It's just off-putting and some day when some other startup starts eating Google's lunch this barge will come across as the early signal that Google just had too much cash than was good for it.
To all you driver developers out there who support our obscure hardware
Also in Denver. Lots of folks hiring. It's a fantastic spot, although I definitely prefer Denver to Boulder.

I agree the parallel isn't exact, but it still represents the state limiting the dissemination of information. I would rather hear your opinion about the substance of the law rather than the weakest part of my statement.
For every mile of interstate in the US, there are over 100 miles of local roads that are poorly covered by the gas tax. Paying for a majority of the highway system shouldnt be much harder than graduating from kindergarten. Its pretty pathetic that the entire highway system can't be funded by the gas tax, given how little it contributes to car oriented infrstructure. 2x gas taxes still wouldn't come close to covering the costs of the infrastructure provisioned. Gas taxes in the UK are 8x what we pay, and even that doesnt cover the full cost of their infrastructure. Transit, in comparison, is magnificently cost efficient...only by deceptive means like yours can you appear to make the opposite case.

Regardless, the effect of even a tiny subsidy for cars affects the cost recovery of transit. By subsidizing cars, you actually force larger subsidies for transit. The operating and maintenance costs of car use scale linearly with vehicle miles travelled, whereas the costs of transit scale as a step function (you don't need a new bus for every user, you need a new bus for every 60 users...riders 2 through 60 ride for free) on the scale of an individual transit vehicle, and roughly log linear in aggregate. Therefore, every transit user you subsidize into a car increases the per user cost of all the rest of the transit users. If car users paid even a tiny fraction more than the pittance they currently do, it could push enough users onto transit to make it sustainable. And if they acctually paid their true costs, almost nobody would drive at all.
