> Is amazon committing illegal acts in Germany?

No, but they are on the borderline of what is acceptable in German society.

> One of the articles you linked to states that Amazon is already paying higher than average wages.

I have not read them, as I was just trying to fetch some English related information for the HN audience.

The information I have, from memory, is from German newspapers.

The whole situation worked as follows:

- offer a job to people at the job center (quite nice)

- since they are at job center, the job cannot be refused unless for special reasons

- pay them the bare minimum, almost lower than the unemployment fund after taxes

- have them work extra-hours without compensation

- let them go, re-hire from the endless pool at job center

Also the guys doing deliveries, are at multiple levels of sub-contractors. Have a wage that barely pays the fuel and monthly expenses, with a variable bonus attached to the amount of successful deliveries per day.

Since they are not to blame for people not being at home, they try to deliver the packages to just about anyone in the neighbourhood, thus leaving a information to collect at place X, not always the post office.

There was an undercover story about this a couple of years ago, done by a famous German reporter, Günter Wallraff.

Maybe this situation today is different and has improved a lot, but this was how it used to be from the newspapers info.
EnergyHub, Brooklyn, NY

We build a IoT platform for connected thermostats. Together, our partners have already sold over 100,000 EnergyHub-powered devices, and soon we will be managing 1 million devices.

Our easy-to-use web/mobile apps help people save money by, for example: figuring out the most efficient time to run your heat or AC; using geofencing to turn things down when you're not home; and providing customized tips to help guide your decisions. We also run critical parts of the Smart Grid by linking our thermostat customers to Demand Response programs in the US and Canada.

You will have the opportunity to work on all aspects of the software: web and mobile applications, the distributed back end system including the communication layer to connected thermostats, analytics that drive efficiency, and the tools that we use. We use modern tools, and we're open to trying out new technologies, languages, and ideas.

To apply, please send your resume and a brief note about why you're interested in EnergyHub to josh at energyhub.net.
The presentation is from... long time ago :-)

Now they serve to everyone over IPv4 and IPv6 and these stats are the actual IPv4 requests vs. IPv6 requests that they get, not some projected number.

On address selection:

Safari uses Apple API which has a proprietary mechanism for determining whether IPv4 or IPv6 gives a better user experience. You can approximate this as an RTT race between IPv4 and IPv6 connection (thus, somewhat of a flavour of what we describe in RFC6555).

Firefox/Chrome give a small headstart (~150-300ms) to IPv6.

IE strongly prefers IPv6, except if a particular MS-hosted IPv6 site is not reachable, then it strongly prefers IPv4.

Help Scout - Java engineer - [REMOTE or LOCAL]
Headquarters: Boston | http://www.helpscout.net

Help Scout is a help desk that is completely transparent to customers yet highly useful for teams that utilize it. It works by parsing all incoming customer emails and provides a consolidated mailbox view allowing multiple users in the backend to interact with customers, assign to other team members and a whole host of other features such as statistical reports, automated workflows and integrated 3rd party services.

I work as one of the Java programmers at Help Scout alongside 7 other senior programmers. It's a great company to work for, everyone is really passionate about what we are offering to our customers and code quality. The majority of the engineering team work remotely and are based in the US (except myself in Barcelona). We communicate 90% of the time via Slack and the position really allows you to 'own' your area of expertise, no long meetings, fast development and above all you are trusted to make the right decisions.

If any of that interests you then you can apply here: http://help-scout.workable.com/jobs/24579 or read more about the company here: http://www.helpscout.net/about/

Feel free to reach out to me on this thread or via my work email owen@helpscout.com if you have any questions about the role!

Technologies we use:
- Java 7 and 8
- Play framework
- MySQL, MongoDB. Solr
- RabbitMQ

I'd say UCAS should be on that list too (always buckled on results day), however I'm not sure that it's government affiliated.
DOG IN SHELTER FOR a YEAR
So $55k isn't really enough to hire an engineer, but generally speaking many of these services can be setup in a day or two based on open source software or other free tools. I wonder if you made a clear business case based on the features you need, what the result would be. That being said, not having to run it is worth something.
It's also how they tried to mislead the public by saying NSA only collects "4 percent" of the world's data" or something - but "forgot" to mention that data could be emails, chats and urls (essentially the content itself), while the majority of the data is stuff like Youtube/Netflix content and torrents.
During the compaction phase, when a new temp db is installed while the old is being compacted, isn't there a window where messages in the old temp db are not searchable?
What country is your GP in?

If they're in the UK I implore you to complain about the lapses of care. Look at it this way, it isn't up to you to parse judgement over if the care you received was fitting or not, but it gives people who are qualified to do so a heads up so they can examine it.

The NHS has a lot of very good GPs. This clown is giving the service a bad name and worse still giving people a sub-standard quality of care. Please complain to the health authority.

2001 explored some pretty darn exotic phenomena, it just didn't both to try to explain them scientifically.
Why would it not be OK? What could the company possibly be liable for?
I fail to see the relevance of that link to this post.
I don't know why so many people keep tossing the $60K-$120K figure around for a SysAdmin. Your startup is not on the level of a Facebook/Google and does not need a SysAdmin who's background is managing systems at that scale. You really just need a college student who can run a few small servers and knows how to make backups for when things hit the fan. We're talking $15-$20 an hour, they get a lot of great work experience, and you get manged in-house IT.
I use a Magic Trackpad, too, and I wonder why the multi-touch can't be used to simulate chording.

Aside from that, though, I don't understand why I can't separate Acme/Rio from Plan9. I'd love to explore Plan9 more, but a proper 3-button mouse (when one can be found) is $50+, and (as far as I can determine), I can't just login through a terminal.

The UI is, to me, the least interesting aspect...but I can't explore the rest of the system without going through the UI.
Also, if you are using T-mobile, you can use IPv6-only, and they have a few million subscribers.

I got a T-mobile SIM when I was in the US last month, and switched to IPv6-only APN. Worked pretty well for the casual browsing - and the non-IPv6 websites were still reachable using NAT64 on T-mobile's side. Though the possibility to do IPv6-only might depend on your handset.

I became VP of Engineering in a pivot/refinancing. Later became CTO in another pivot/refinancing. Subsequently was offered both positions several times, mostly when things were not going well, occasionally when just starting out.

The CTO position is usually more outward-facing, with some limited ability to affect change internally. As CTO, it's useful to blog, speak-out, meet prospects, acting as a thought leader and technical evangelist. Some % of time can be devoted to future product concepts. As CTO, you would be expected to be familiar with your technology ecosystem and have a good sense of its tectonic forces and near term direction. If tea leaves need reading, your opinion would count heavily.

The CTO role can be tricky to navigate. The easiest path internally is to be a resource to engineering, marketing and sales, offering to help each function, and communicating frequently. Dangers include being perceived as (1) sending messages not coordinated with marketing (2) stealing engineering resources (3) setting product/company directions independently.

Good luck. It's a fun position ... if you don't mind not having control.

> Which is used by the Hotspot JVM's Java 8 lambdas

Not really, because it is part of the Java 8 .class files. So all certified JVMs need to make use of this information.

> It's trivial to translate invokedynamic into Java 6 or Dalvik bytecode, and ART should be smart enough to recognize those translations and generate optimal native binary translations.

Given how Android updates work and the state of Java 7 support across Android versions, I guess many of us will keep on using Java 6/C++ combo.

If you install MySQL locally, you should not have it listen on any address other than the loopback by default.

And when you do expose it, if you care about security, you should configure the appropriate iptables along the way there and then, rather than relying on a magic box somewhere upstream filtering the packets.

This can be doubly useful if the box in question your laptop which you carry around in various, potentially hostile, environments.

Is he looking for a cofounder, or an early employee. For an early employee, that is a massive amount of equity. The equity is to compensate you for the risk your taking in joining an early stage company, but you're not taking much risk, your getting a very reasonable salary, and the company is already over a year old.

There are risks to building in house too:
Things will break over time
Key programmer leaves, no good documentation or succession plan left behind
New needs will arise (e.g. if you built an expense tracking app before smartphones, you'll now need to build a iPhone/Android app)
Maintaining security - is your security team really better than the outsourced service's?
API support
Developer ecosystem

There's always a build vs. buy decision and sometimes you should build, but this is why even huge companies use Salesforce over maintaining an internal CRM.

San Francisco, CA (H1B ok)

Hey,
Pasha, CTO and co-founder of TXN here.

We’re super early stage, building a consumer spending analytics tool for merchants, backed by great investors (A16Z, Homebrew, Bloomberg Beta etc).
Looking for our first engineering hires: full-stack engineers; people who want to build something great from scratch, take lots of ownership and do a ton of learning.
The product is heavy on data and visualization.
We currently use Node.js and Scala.

Contact: pasha@txn.co

Why join TXN?

- Be in the front seat building a company and product from scratch.

- We are a small team that believes in ownership. You’ll have a huge part in everything that we do and own your projects, not just be a small cog in the machine.

- Learning: we strongly believe in learning and personal development. We’re building a culture where everybody is encouraged and supported to learn and improve every day.

- Doing your best work every day: at TXN, we’ve decided to build something truly great. With everything we do, big and small, we’re striving to do something that we’ll be proud of.
Which summarizes the reasons for my hesitance toward anything that looks like a "framework." And here, we're talking about an old problem . . .
