Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan

http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

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

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're hiring for full time positions as software developers and software designers at our office in Grand Rapids.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

- We aren't limited to any really specific set of technologies, which is a great
opportunity to learn. In the past year, I've worked with Python, Objective-C
(and Swift), Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap), Angular.js, QT Node.js, and
of course Ruby.

- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design.

- We're agile, but not dogmatic about it. Our process evolves to suit our needs.

- We offer competitive salaries, health/vision/dental insurance, quarterly profit
sharing, retirement + match, weekly catered lunches, and a top-floor office
with snacks, guitars, and your choice of standing or sitting desks.

- We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us
access to lots of cool stuff like a laser cutter and 3D printers.

A little bit about Grand Rapids:

- 2.5 hours from Chicago and Detroit, less than an hour to the beach.

- Lots of great beer. Founders Brewery (a mile from our office) has 3 beers in
the Beer Advocate top 15. HopCat is a “World Class” bar on BA.
Just look here: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/43

- Low cost of living. I bought a nice house with a mortgage payment
30% lower than the rent of my 1 bedroom apartment in Mountain View.

- A growing technology and startup community.

A little bit about you:

- You love making software, and you have a couple of years of experience doing it.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. You have some experience with web or mobile technologies.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

- You want to come into work every day and enjoy the people you work with.

I'm a software developer on this awesome team. If you're interested, get in touch with me:

I wonder if you could threaten them with a cease & desist over a trademark violation? (Is there an argument to be made that they are illegally using your trademark to market their service by association?)

Would be interested to hear from someone with a legal background about this.
Can you point to where they believe they are immune to the rules because they're using Bitcoin?

To me it just looks like a badly implemented concept that happens to use Bitcoin. I'm not seeing any Bitcoin exceptionalism here.

“We have a new theorem–that mathematicians can prove only trivial theorems, because every theorem that’s proved is trivial.”

Not very related perhaps but I think this is a great quote:

So I got a great reputation for doing integrals, only because my box of tools was different from everybody else’s, and they had tried all their tools on it before giving the problem to me.

Show HN: Stream music between iPhones
Ask HN: Any (interactive) whiteboard scanning apps (i.e. draw onto canvas)
Interesting idea I'm toying with and I'm not sure how feasible this is yet, but curious to know if there is anything like this out there.

A whiteboard/drawing scanning tool that can then draw the captured image (to an appropriate degree of accuracy) onto a canvas that can then be interacted with. items moved, scaled, removed etc

Similair the 3m sticky note idea but not limited to square blocks of text. anything like that out there?
Maybe contacting their hosting provider could be an additional way to approach the problem, since, from what I can tell, the messages they send to contributors are spam.

Notes on the Statical Models Used in Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS/IPS)
We (Django) already threatened that a while back. They still insist they will not remove projects or stop collecting donations on behalf of non-consenting projects. All they did was manually disable some of the spam coming toward our committers.
I don't think it can have consequences - how would you justify punishing somebody for something somebody else did?
Sounds plausible. IANAL, but I know there are similar protections for somebody's likeness. As in, you're not allowed to use somebody's likeness to endorse a product without their consent. I can't see why the same wouldn't go for using somebody's trademark to endorse a product without the trademark owner's consent.
I hadn't tried lyX yet or many others for that matter. Pelican just seemed to work the way I wanted to out of the box so I was never tempted away. I'm hearing from a bunch of people on twitter about their favorite generators so I might do a comparison sometime soon.

CV and references available on your request. Looking forward to meeting you online: ccarpenterg@gmail.com
What I'm saying is that it's crazy to assume the investors didn't ask the questions that popped into the heads of every Tom, Dick, and Harry on HN in 10 seconds.

Therefore, it's safe to assume the company team must have had some kind of response to that.

Was it valid? Did it snow the investors and their vetting teams? Who knows?

But certainly that first level of conversation must have taken place.
I doubt it's a mistake. If you ask me, it's more likely that this is the whole goal of "the project."
Like I said, it's something I've investigated.

Best I can tell as a non-attorney acting on advice from others, the way in which they advertise their services could be easily confused as implying a financial relationship with organizations or individuals with whom they do not have a (consenting) financial relationship. Where to go from there is an open question.

The bigger question, as always with such things, is whether they cause enough annoyance to be worth lawyering them, and whether playing whack-a-mole -- since they're not the only "service" which does this -- would be a prudent way to spend time and money.
I disagree. He explicitly consented to everybody doing whatever they want with the software.

I just don't think it's fair to allow people to do one thing and then make them feel bad about it once they do it.

---

Let me clarify a couple of things here so I don't have to write short replies to all of you.

Let's start with the 3-clause-BSD license. It states that you aren't allowed to use the names of the contributors to endorse derived works. They don't do any of that so this is not an issue.

Somebody brought up trademarks. If there's a trademark issue the legal situation should be clear and this issue should resolve itself in no time. Nobody likes lawsuits. I don't see how they violate any trademarks though.

Somebody else brought up handles. This has always been an issue. It seems to boil down to if you like a project, it's okay for them to use somebody else's handle, if you don't, it's unacceptable. I don't think it's a good idea to build a moral argument on top of that. I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of this myself.

The money/tax thing is very interesting. I really wouldn't know, but I don't think you can collect money on someone else's behalf. As in, it only becomes a tax issue/your money once you actually accept the money.

If you're one of the people who think "GitHub should just shut these scumbags down" we might as well start shutting down political parties, newspapers and TV station we don't like. I don't want to live in a world like that.

What upsets me the most is the fact that it becomes harder and harder to have a discussion about topics like this one. What's the point in having a discussion platform if everybody is expected to agree anyway? And even worse, if you don't immediately state that you don't support someone/something you're guilty by association somehow.

I'm sad now. Please continue.
Does it work for Android?
Yes, better to have your site temporarily broken by an update than hacked and all data stolen. At least in many cases.
My money is on the old Bitcoin play of "we were hacked" once they have a large enough balance of donations.
in a nutshell they're refusing to implement a blacklisting mechanism and being stubborn about it.
> Generating SQL statements always involves string manipulation at some stage, doesn't it? I mean at some point even PDO has to send query strings to the SQL server.

If your database supports it set PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES to false. If not, I'd still take PDO's implementation over a million different implementations which other projects come up with such as this one.

Résumé/CV: https://resume.creddle.io/resume/fa3uh2491uj

Summary: I’m currently wrapping up a project where I’m helping clients build their MVP with Ruby/Grape + Angularjs and would love like to work on greenfield projects along those lines. Also, I’m especially interested in converting legacy monolithic Rails apps over to Rails + Angular.
I have no problem with crowdfunded donation services... so long as the person/project the donations are being collected for has consented to it.

I have a large problem with forcibly opting me and projects I work on into this, especially since some of those projects have donation mechanisms already, and an even bigger problem with no way to opt out once in. And I have a huge problem with the implication that I or those projects have any sort of relationship with tip4commit other than one of saying "please stop this" and getting back "no" over and over.
I assumed "the project" meant that the tip goes back into a general pool still dedicated to the particular project the tip was originally designated for. Then these funds would be available for redistribution when new commits are made to the project.

I can see how "the project" could also be interpreted as tip4commit though and if that's the case, that's pretty lousy.
Assuming you had the muscle, what's the worst a dev could theoretically hit them with? Could they be succesfully sued? DMCA?
> There are also some issues such as closures having a different syntax than top-level functions: he wants to be able to move functions easily between scopes.

But closures have different semantics to functions, both in representation and in execution. The semantics of his language becomes even more confusing when he says that items at the top level are position independent, where as it seems that those in a function scope are, and yet they share the same syntax. There is a simple fix though. Just keep a uniform syntax for position independent items, but allow them to be declared at any scope. That is exactly what Rust does.
The Bitcoin exceptionalism is clear in this bit:

----

arsenische - Do I need to learn all the laws of all the countries before publishing anything online or may I just use the common sense and conscience please?

mitsuhiko - To be honest: when it comes to handling money I would assume so. If this website would be dealing with a real world currency you would have a bunch of problems on yourself at this point. Most people would avoid holding funds on their books for an unlimited amount of time.

Don't build software you have to opt-out of and you have a lot less problems on your hand. Right now, this is dangerously close to being sued by someone.

arsenische - That's why this kind of project is hardly possible with traditional money. This project was created during a 48 hour rails rumble competition. The beauty of Bitcoin is that everybody can use it to create something during a weekend.

This is not a commercial project, we don't have resources to hire lawyers and accountants.

---

From this it seems that not only do they think it avoids legal issues, but they do not consider publicly raising bitcoin to be a commercial project that needs lawyers or accountants.

There's Ulrich Drepper's "What every programmer should know about memory" - http://lwn.net/Articles/250967/. It's long, it's from 2007, but its fundamentals are right.
Agreed. This behavior is not benign "naughtiness" (as the YC guys like to encourage), it's parasitic exploitation of other people's hard work. Another group I'd lump in with this group is readthedocs.org
Armin tends to BSD-license his work. And the BSD license includes a provision which forbids use of contributor names for endorsement/promotion without permission.

So, no, "consent" is not what Armin did. In fact, he did the opposite of that.
Of course, giving your php webapp the permission to rewrite it's core files is a brilliant and secure idea!
The query in question is using an IN clause which takes a tuple of values.

I don't think bindParam will allow you to bind an array into a tuple , the only way to pass the tuple is by forming it as a string and adding that to the query string.
