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

* We're looking for an 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 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. We've 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.

Contact george(at)PSYT.co.uk
Some of the things you mentioned as not being handled by Google's cars actually are handled, and you can find videos on the Google Self-Driving Car Google+ page that provide visualizations of the car encountering some of those scenarios or similar ones. (some of the others do seem to be unresolved so far, though)

You assert that Google can't make this profitable. Why do you think that? If they can make it work well enough, they can be cheaper and more efficient than (probably) any other form of transport, probably drive all taxi companies out of business, and be raking in some revenue every time someone wants to go somewhere, worldwide. (think Uber, if only it were used for every single trip)

This could be far bigger than their current businesses.

I loved your amazing reply. But can you please elaborate that why are you suggesting to refrain from reading articles and do something else?

Is it because reading articles drains will power and not enough will power left for doing actual work?

SEEKING WORK - Remote, available for meets in SF until end of September, then Europe

I'm a full-stack web generalist. My favourite projects are heavy on frontend javascript and charge their users directly (or at least plan to).

I work primarily with early stage startups and have seen a variety of successes, failures, great things, and ugly things. As such, I make the rest of your team more productive in the long term even beyond what you hire me to code directly.

In the words of one of my clients "If we never had ya, we would've been fucked". I helped them take an inexperienced team from zero code, to MVP customers paid for in a month. It was fun.

PS: I'm also interested in one-off d3.js projects. Been itching to make more cool visualisations ever since I published a book about it.
If you throw the result away in pure code then you may as well have never computed it: the second result holds only.

In an impure setting none of the math above holds.

Edit: note that this doesn't mean you have to throw away local or global state. You can recapture that by using state machine transformers or even Kleisli state machine transformers (although that gets pretty heavy!)
Has security review been done?
They exist inside and around every university and college throughout the Mainland, though not on the street front. You go up the stairs to the 3rd floor, give your bag of washing and 10 rmb to the attendant who tears a playing card in half, gives you one half and staples the other onto your bag. Go back 2 days later for your washed, dried, and folded clothing.
Fourier Image Filtering
A third party could have rooted it.

This seem highly unlikely. In fact, I've never heard of it. And, add to that the serious hurdles I had to go through to root all the phones I ever rooted (3).

Your statements amount, to me, to overblown risk.

PACKETZOOM ENGINEERING
Burlingame, CA (just south of San Francisco in the bay area) FULL TIME H1B VISA Transfer ok TN VISA ok. REMOTE considered for the perfect candidate

Mobile Networks are different. And yet we continue using the same legacy protocol stack (TCP/HTTP/SSL) to connect mobile devices to the cloud. If you want to help change that, come join us.

Packetzoom is rethinking the whole stack from the ground up. You get to hack network and/or security protocols, innards of mobile operating systems and build a global distributed system around brand new protocols.

We're currently looking for

- ANDROID PLATFORM LEVEL ENGINEER

You'd be responsible for our Android platform SDK (so you'd be writing some combination of Java and C++ code). In the process, you'd get to learn all about vagaries of mobile platforms and mobile networks at the global scale. In addition, you'll have your pick of dozens of delicious, hard problems to solve in the realm of distributed systems, unix'y things, iOS stuff (to be compatible on both platforms), security etc.

I'm Founder/CEO/CTO. You will work directly with me. We're well funded but still a very small team (< 10 people) So you get to enjoy an early stage team environment but not so much the high financial risk that goes with such things.
Contact me directly at chetan at packetzoom.com
I believe http://multipath-tcp.org/ is the answer.

FanJam - http://fanjam.com - Frontend Engineer Ember.js

Remote OR in Chattanooga, TN

Do you love sports & javascript? At FanJam (fanjam.com), we're building a new kind of fantasy basketball game on web and mobile. We're a small team with backgrounds in startups, consulting, and venture capital. Our team shares a love for either sports or programming, but we all share a common love for building a winning culture.

In this role, you will be working with mostly client-side javascript. We're still in the early stages of development, so we’re looking for someone comfortable in architecting front end code using a modular approach & capable of making good design decisions. An ideal candidate is keeping up to date with the rapidly changing javascript landscape and has experience working with realtime applications. You’re aware of the challenges of DOM implementations between browsers and can write clean code to deal with them.

We invest in our people, and team build through whiskey, basketball games, and hack weeks. We keep the fridge stocked, stay as transparent as possible, and will buy whatever resources you need to keep learning (books, screencasts, etc) We're still a small team, so this is a great opportunity to have a big impact on the product and our culture. We're looking for people with a passion for their work with high standards. Ideal candidates have a demonstrated experience hacking stuff; code samples are best (GitHub, a personal website/blog, previous projects are all great).

You can work remotely or at our offices in Chattanooga, TN

Skills we're looking for

* Proven experience working with Javascript on client-side (ember.js/or angular/react)

* Experience working with web sockets & realtime technology

* Comfort on the front end html5, compass, and css/sass

* Being able to get things done and to ship code.

* Experience with large code bases and structuring code in a modular way.

* Affinity with the web, browsers and new web technologies.

* Familiarity with basic development tools: you know your way around git, bash, grep and sed. You're not afraid to write a shell script to automate some stuff.

* Experience with data visualizations is a big plus

* Have a good sense of humor and leave your ego at the door

* A desire to get better every day

Currently I am a tech lead/architect in the world's largest consulting companies' Emerging Technology Innovation practice, which is responsible for conceiving, prototyping, and building next-generation products. My topics mostly include modern web technologies, UX and free & open source software.

Prior, I co-founded, built and scaled up the world's leading fashion designer platform, where I ran the technical side of the company as CTO and lead a small team.

I am looking for a senior position in a product based company in which I can make a meaningful impact. My long term goal is along the lines of great minds such as Doug Engelbart, Alan Kay and Bret Victor. That is to augment human intellect by thinking how we can conceive the computer as a new medium for everybody.

For what would you use knowing real-time density around you?
I am playing with the idea of an app displaying real-time density of people to map out where and how many people are in a location (anonymously).

Would there be a situation where you think this could be useful?

As a recent encounter (travelling for holiday), I figured that it would be nice to see where people really are, mainly because I got hugely disappointed by biased Foursquare and Tripadvisor recommendations.

Any suggestion/experience for when knowing real-time where the crowd is could be useful?
After reading about ransomware, I adopted the following approach to backing up my files, which I call a "pull" system. I run my backups from an old Linux box that isn't write-accessible on the network, but that can read files from the Windows computers onto the backup disks.

My backup method is slow -- just a bulk transfer of files -- but I've made no effort to refine it yet.

I also wonder: If you plug your backup drive into a Linux box, you'd see if the files were encrypted, right?

We are looking for a:

- well organized, self motivated individual who is a

SEEKING WORK - Remote (based in Baltimore, MD)

I'm a technical marketer, and here's how I can help your company:

* Get traction faster (for early-stage startups).
* Turn more visitors into users (aka, conversion optimization).

I do this with any or all of the following, depending on your unique case: Funnel analysis, conversion optimization, A/B testing, SEO, email campaigns and automated emails, content planning, and usability studies.

What makes me different from most marketing consultants:

* I can roll up my sleeves and write code when needed. This saves you design and development time on small optimization improvements. (HTML/CSS, basic JS and jQuuery, Github).

* I'm certified in Optimizely, the A/B testing tool.

* I come from an engineering background (naval engineering), so I love solving real problems (by "real" I mean things that directly impact your revenue).

It's a classic sign of sociopathy, so at a guess she's either a CEO or in prison.
I actually have mail, firefox, etc on my android phone. and data.
but i turn off notifications for almost everything.

i rarely ever check mail on my phone unless i really need it (which is like 10 times a year). Same for the rest.

What I use most of the time:
- texting (specially for meeting/bar/etc)
- maps (directions, traffic...)
- booking (plane/train/etc while on the go)
- making pictures
- listening to music (sometimes)

yeah.. thats it. I use the other apps less than once a month...

I do use email, web, etc on the laptop tho (which i do not carry with me unless its work hours)

I find it a lot better this way, and in fact, past the initial experience of having a smartphone some years ago, i never really used it any other way.

i dont get the addiction ppl get with the phone games (they're fucking terrible) and non-stop checking notifications (its horrible)
