Java Backend Engineer, UX Engineer (two separate positions) - Omniata, Helsinki, Finland - visa, full time

Founded by a team of former Digital Chocolate and EA data leads, Omniata (http://www.omniata.com) integrates analytics, CRM, user engagement and A/B testing platforms into one solution. The company is well funded (http://www.creandum.com/why-creandum-invested-omniata/) & headquartered in SF. The bulk of R&D will be done in the Helsinki office which at the moment only has a small team, so this is a great opportunity to get in early and grow with the company.

As a Java backend engineer you’ll be part of the team responsible for code handling millions of events each day. You will also get the opportunity to work on a greenfield project and build the next generation of our backend infrastructure from the ground up. This work will involve analyzing the existing architecture, its load patterns and bottlenecks. Together with other team members, you will use this data to spec up and implement the new architecture.

We are also looking for a talented UX engineer to help us take our UI to the next level and change how our customers view their business critical data. Experience with Photoshop and wireframing/prototyping tools such as Balsamiq Mockups is assumed. Knowledge of HTML, CSS and some JavaScript is required as we expect you to implement the UIs you design.

If you're at all interested in this area and Helsinki as a place to live and work, drop a one line email with a link to your LinkedIn and GitHub profile (in the case of backend) or portfolio (in the case of UX) to careers-hl@omniata.com
Twitter?! I had my company's account blocked because it looked suspicious to them. In my opinion the only suspicious thing was the fact that we tweeted only 2 or 3 times during its one month lifetime. At least Facebook didn't do that to us.

I think this is a great list of the costs of being independent. However, he did skip over the benefits, which are:

Closer ties to the market--you are much more employable as a contractor, because you have to be! You have to seek out and sell yourself far more than an employee does, which means you know who is buying what.

The ability spread risk across several clients. This is not always possible in the same week or month, but if you are a contractor and are only working for one client for months at a time, you aren't a contractor, you're an employee with no benefits. Seek out other clients and spread your risk.

The flexibility to work when you want to work. Both in the small (when you want to start working each day) and in the large (when you want to spend down some of your savings in vacation/tech exploration/etc and not work for a while).

The ability to turn down work. Don't discount this as a benefit. If you are an employee, your choices are 'do the work you are assigned', 'ask your manager for different work' or 'walk'. If you are a contractor/independent, you have much the same choices, but 'walking' is far less risky, due to the your awareness of the market and your multiple clients (see above).
That's the wrong example I'm afraid. Hoover is an example of a trademark which became generic because it wasn't enforced strongly enough. "Here" is already a descriptive word and while Nokia can use it for branding a product/service they can't make any claim over it's descriptive use.

It takes time to learn an even tension, but once that comes, pieces work up quite quickly. The piece on wikipedia is a direct copy of a piece of lace that a friend bought for me from a street vendor in Yerevan. I made it over 10 years ago, so my memory is a little vague at this point, but it was probably less than 10 hours work.

Great intro to the hacker mindset! The problem is that it doesn't pay the bills, and is a metabolically expensive activity (the brain has to be in work mode). This makes it too costly for a lot of people :(
Amplitude Analytics - San Francisco, CA

We're hiring backend, frontend, devops, mobile, and test engineers who are looking to work at an exciting early stage startup (11 people) that has grown very quickly over the last 6 months and is about to go through a ton more growth over the next year. We're very generous with salary and equity because we have a high bar for hiring (https://amplitude.com/team).

Amplitude is in the mobile/web app analytics space, and we're bringing the next level of analytics to app developers out there. Instead of just showing people numbers about their app, we're helping them find real insights and take action based on those findings. Check out our blog (http://blog.amplitude.com/) to learn more about how we think about analytics.

We don't hire for specific skills since we believe any good engineer will pick them up, but some of the technologies we use include: Python, AngularJS, Java, PostgreSQL, Redis, Amazon S3. We spend a lot of time thinking about distributed systems for data processing and querying as well as the user interaction/experience of dealing with a very complex and powerful analytics product. If any of this sounds interesting to you, check out our careers page (https://amplitude.com/careers).

I believe the difference between illegal and unlawful was the difference between black and white listing. As in, illegal means a specific act is banned and unlawful means doing something outside of what was prescribed for that situation.

I don't think there's a large moral component to the respective use of each word, it's more of a mathematical concept. That said, odds are "DON'T DO THAT" is usually going to have a stronger moral force behind it than "YOU CAN ONLY DO IT THIS WAY" since people can come up with creative situations that weren't thought of at the time the law was written, and of course it varies based on the situation (people will probably be more pissy if you handle nuclear material in an unlawful way than if you jaywalk for instance).
Protonmail is at capacity, but are an encrypted email service if security and privacy are a concern. I know, it's kind of silly since "big brother" has most of your email because it has all of everyone else's, but I figured it was worth a mention.

Aaaa you refer to the link name here...ok what do you think would be more fair?....anyway when you open the app it's clear that the app it's not official..
I totally agree. One thing I made sure to do was make it very clear in the app (via a disclaimer) that the data is not real time and the app should not be used in emergency situations. I even tell them to call 911 whenever in doubt.

I think Health Scout is very useful but definitely shouldn't be used in life and death situations. Maybe I should make the disclaimer even more prominent...
Thanks for the tips, I will add soon the same feature for the video....before was possible browse also the file in you conversation, but Facebook not allow browser app asking for "mailbox" permissions....

I help startups and small business owners get more growth by attracting and closing more customers.

In a nutshell, I refine their marketing to deliver a better message to more qualified leads; put the spotlight on referral generation, user activation, and user retention; and set up actionable metrics to optimize each of these activities.

In more practical terms, I make them collect user data using direct interactions, surveys, and analytics; spot high potential niche markets and sales channels based on this data; optimize their conversion funnels using A/B tests; and automate their sales process using drip emails, transactional emails, and whatever else moves the needle most.

A highlight in my career to date has been to turn a personal blog into a thriving software business. I had the privilege of working at the side of renowned marketers while doing so. Most businesses can benefit from applying the insights I’ve picked up then and since.

I’m open for a position as a marketing or product manager in addition to consulting work.

Get in touch if any of the above is of general interest to you, and we'll discuss how I can help you amplify your revenue.

Biggest change here is that it's becoming so hard to find bugs on Google-owned domains that they're starting to pay speculative bounties (before you've found anything).

I'd really like to see how many bounties they paid out for "security improvements" bounties that they announced middle of 2014. Those were proactive software development bounties to make code more amenable to static analysis, new exploit mitigations, etc.
Senior Python Data Scientist and Senior Software Engineer - Recursion Pharmaceuticals

Question for you: What's the most challenging, most impactful set of data problems you could be working on?

We’re a small and fast-growing biotech startup with an amazing set of advisors including the Broad’s Anne Carpenter, and we're using high throughput genetic perturbation experiments in human cells, automated image segmentation and quantitation of hundreds of features for every cell, and machine learning and statistics to find new treatments for rare genetic diseases faster than anyone has previously thought possible. If that sounds like a lot of biology, don’t worry—you’ll be up to speed in a week or two. Just know this: there are more than 5,000 rare genetic diseases, in total affecting more than 10 million people in the US alone, and only a handful are treatable. We aim to find treatments for 100 of them in the next 10 years. See who we are at http://www.recursionpharma.com/team

We’re looking for exceptional computational scientists to help lead our analysis efforts, with the following criteria:

- Native-level fluency in probability, statistics and modeling; several years of experience in statistics, machine learning, and software development solving problems using lots of data, ideally using python’s scientific stack; thorough understanding of fundamentals of machine learning such as cross-validation and learning curves, plus an ability to explore new types of data independently and get an effective guess as to what sorts of models and assumptions make sense as a starting point.

- A track record of outstanding projects, publications, or presentations that demonstrate successful application of the above talents.

- Motivation to tackle some of the most challenging data problems around, to work with other sharp and highly-motivated individuals with diverse backgrounds, and to make lots of patients’ lives dramatically better.

- Biology background not required; intellectual curiosity and motivation to learn is critical.

- Key tools and skills (not all required): python, machine learning, sklearn, ipython, data science, pandas, interactive analysis, linux fluency, bioinformatics (definitely not required)

> Binet's Formula ... gives wrong result for large values of N [due to the fixed precision estimations of the irrationals].

Sounds like a job for an arbitrary precision decimal library and an estimation of the precision the irrationals need to minimize the error at N.

Do you know of any attempts to overcome the error of computing with irrational numbers?
As a father I don't find this offensive at all.
Not necessarily. Borrowing with interest also works in the presence of endless inflation; it does not necessarily need real growth.
Use the -p (--patch) flag, it works wonderfully for selectively marking blocks for staging (git add -p), and selectively checking out changed files with (git checkout -p).

From the Wikipedia page[1]:

The term is often used in common English with the meaning of a difficult initial learning process. Nevertheless, the Oxford English Dictionary, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary define a learning curve as the rate at which skill is acquired, so a steep increase would mean a quick increment of skill.

Arguably, the common English use is due to metaphorical interpretation of the curve as a hill to climb.

If anyone trusts a rails app for real money, they're an idiot. Homakov made his report today and they'll patch these bugs but did he get them all? What about new code that is written? Will he watch every commit made in the future? Or the deployment environment? What about code that was out of scope for this assessment?

An audit report like this does not make a secure app. And Rails does not lend itself to one either. Without any mitigating controls, all it takes is one bug and you lose all your bitcoins...
Both this article and the article about discipline and motivation posted yesterday distinguishes discipline from motivation, and then say something about how discipline is about controlling base-emotions, or ignoring them. Both of these articles are wrong, or at least, only come to a superficial understanding of motivation and discipline.

Exerting will power over your base emotions like that is a losing game over the long run. While it is a skill worth learning how to do, it is only a small tool within a larger spectrum of tools when dealing with aspects of your consciousness, mind, and life.

First of all, it's not about controlling your base emotions. Emotions are already there pervasively lurking everywhere, they come and go. They constitute a large portion of your consciousness, and the attempt try to "control" it is something socially conditioned in us, and the conventional way of "controlling" emotions robs us of what emotions brings to the human experience. In an effort to control emotions, you start judging them as good or bad, and react to suppress ro amplify them when they arise. Over time, this kind of self-directed judgmental attitude will ossify your mind, and you become less and less adaptable to changing circumstances and the unexpected.

So the first insight is this: it's not about trying to control emotions, it's about not allowing emotions to control you. You don't allow the feeling of elation and excitement (motivation) control when you actually work on things, and you don't allow the feeling of anxiety (aversions) and ill-will (nerd rage) control when you _don't_ work. When you've stripped away all the reactions to impulses and external factors, all they "I am doing this because X", what you are left with is the pure choice of whether you do something or not.

This might sound like it is nitpicking, since it superficially takes you to the same place as "controlling emotions". The key part is that, by acknowledging your emotions while at the same time, not necessarily allowing them to control you will eventually gain you greater space, and greater freedom of action. Your world will get bigger. Whereas, attempting to control emotions will eventually narrow the options you have (or think you have). Your world will get smaller.

Lastly, by coming from the perspective that you are not controlled by motivations or aversions, then having worked with it, eventually you'll come to be able to use motivations and aversions. When you can discern the difference between wants and needs, that is, something shiny or "cool", and something that feels deeply fulfilling and rewarding, you would be capable of inspiring others to follow your vision. You don't need to throw motivation completely out, you simply don't allow yourself to be controlled by it. Further, by being able to acknowledge your aversions, being in equanimity with them, and still set out to accomplish your goals, you would be able to persist even when time gets rough.

The Imitation Archive a SoundScape of Computer History
The way for USB key RNGs to combat that is to encrypt the random number stream. That's what Simtec's Entropy Key[1] did. Your adversary would not know the secret that is shared between the USB device and the computer, and so the swap would be immediately detected.

That said, if you have an adversary that has and is devoting the time and resources necessary to arrange to have someone on the plane with you, with a doctored USB RNG, in a seat where they can get to your laptop when you go to the bathroom and mess with it, you probably should not be traveling alone, and your traveling laptop should be one that never contains important secrets and is never connected to a network that has important secrets.
