Khan Academy — Mountain View, CA (remote possible)

We're a small, non-profit tech startup bringing a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.

Millions of people in all walks of life use our free platform to learn (check out testimonials at https://www.khanacademy.org/stories). Most of you reading this are probably familiar with Sal's videos, but we also have hundreds of videos by other teachers and a huge library of interactive exercises.

A few things we're currently working on building right now:

– Mobile apps to help students learn on the go and increase access to those who might not have access to a computer [1]

– Improved knowledge models so we can better predict what you know and what will help you [2]

– Infrastructure to make the site more reliable and faster for our millions of visitors every month [3]

We're especially looking for dev ops engineers, but we have a handful of other positions open. Unfortunately, we've filled up our slots for this coming summer internship, but we'd happily talk to intern candidates for future terms.

A quick analysis of our local (St Louis) rates for an average (1700 sq ft) suburban house indicate that time shifting to get peak rate savings isn't worth it:

Payback time on the 10kWh battery would be around 26 years, and on the 7kWh battery would be 33 years.

So, at least in the midwest, I think you'd have to be either using a ton of peak energy or coupling the battery pack with solar to make the investment worth it.

The daily increase is capped at 10%. All else being equal, in the real world, the only way to limit demand is to raise the price - eventually it will reach it's actual market value. Until then, "demand" doesn't really have much meaning - it's essentially being rationed. What I don't understand is who's selling?
Dataquest (www.dataquest.io) | Boston, MA | Software engineer, data scientist

Ok so wait, in response to getting scammed you hacked into this guys accounts to gather information? And then admit to it publicly? And then dox the guy? Unprofessional doesn't even begin...
Aha sorry, yes definitely. I wanted to get a thermal sensor a while ago and would have to fill-in paper work to say it wouldn't be used for malicious purposes (I didn't end up getting it because it was too expensive anyway), I'm really not sure the idea of such bureaucracy.
Yes, this gesture is actually amazingly better than pinch-to-zoom, my only annoyance with it at present is that Android Firefox doesn't implement it - the only app on the entire platform that doesnt have it.

No idea why they think it's OK to ignore system wide standard gestures for years, but it's an obviously improvement that can't take much work to put in place.
Could you at least add explanations on how to compile your thing on different platforms? All this code is really nice, but if it doesn't actually compile and do something it's quite pointless. Besides, bear in mind that not everyone is running on Windows on this planet.
Already have a job I love, so I'm not interested, but I was surprised to see that you guys are in the building right next to where I work remotely from (Princeton Overlook). Nice to know there are other Python machine learning people close by.
It's not a tool to continue the race war, it's the main tool to continue the race war. The rest of your points are quite valid but are not an argument against the numbers that prove that race is not only a major factor, it's the driving factor behind the war. Otherwise, you'd have to explain the racial disparity in deaths, arrests, incarceration, and poverty directly related to drugs.

Charged up: the history and development of batteries
I had the benefit of working with Geoff Ralston. He likes to tell founders this: "Startups don't fail because they run out of money, startups fail because their founders give up." It sounds trite, but the insight is generally applicable. You do not fail when a project or string of projects is bad, you fail when you stop trying to succeed at the next one.

A few thoughts:

1) There is a dangerous trap for people who are pegged as "smart". The logic is this: You are smart, therefore you do well at things. If you are told this enough, you start to reverse it in your head: "You do well at things, therefore you are smart." If you take that as true, what happens when you do poorly at something? Does that mean you're not actually smart?

The key thing to remember is that everyone starts off bad at everything. Everyone. Everything. You get better by trying and learning. At this point in your life you should optimize for speed of learning. Know that you will have projects that are objectively bad and failed to meet their stated goals. Also know that if you never fail an attempt, you are not working at the edge of your ability, and you are not learning as fast as you could be.

2) Humans are social animals. You are stuck with this, so I encourage you to learn to live with it. You can think rationally about it all day long, but the chimp platform you're built on is always going to measure your self-worth by the strength of your social network and your place in its hierarchy. Go join a groups of people with like-interests. It will be very hard, and you will probably feel constantly nervous and awkward. You will be bad at socializing. But each time you try, you will get a little better. And you won't fail unless you give up.

but what do you do if you disagree with the US as a foreigner in a moderate country?

unfortunately the only option you have left is to decide not to visit the US ever (regardless if you have friends living there). because the risk you face by traveling to the US and getting questioned for why you posted which tweets is simply not worth it. anyone who disagrees as a foreigner with US policy has been made automatically a suspect by US legislation.

> >That code you output? It's meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Cherish what makes you human, not what makes you a good worker. //

> Isn't that just soul crushingly depressive. Surely everything you do is part of your character, how you work, what you work on, that's all part of who you are.

For the code you output, you need to recognize and accept that almost everything you write won't run in production for very long, if at all. There are exceptions, but it's mostly true. So take pride in the production, and don't stake too much on the outcome.

I do agree that everything you do is a part of you. Just don't focus too much on one thing, or the wrong things.
I think they've been doing it in one-off situations with Solar City now for a while. If they are not doing exactly this with this venture, I'd be surprised.
"Glance encryption" is better referred to as obfuscation. People naturally understand how to use emoji in context to other statements they're making. This is an emoji argot, an obscure language used to throw off casual spying.
OkCupid | NYC (local only)

We’re a team of ~30 in charge of the best free dating website in the world. If you work here, you'll have tons of responsibility and flexibility in the kinds of problems you work on. Some of us focus on improving matching and looking at data, others on performance and our open-source C++ web server, others on writing modern frontend code for new and rewritten features. We're looking for a few kinds of experienced people:

- Software engineers to work on a mix of the site backend, matching system, web server, and data analysis. You'll write mostly C++ and Python, but it's okay if you don't know them yet.

- Web developers to work on our next-generation mobile site. Experience or interest in Angular, and experience with mobile browsers, are plusses.

- An iOS developer to take the lead on our iPhone and Apple Watch apps. If you've ever used an iPhone app and thought, "I could make this so much better,” we should talk. Our app is a custom web/native hybrid so if you're interested in working on the web parts too, that's even better.

Benefits include great coworkers, monthly happy hours (optional), and whatever hardware you want.

We're also looking for an experienced product designer and sysadmin (two jobs, not one). Check out our careers page for details: https://www.okcupid.com/careers

Submit your resume there, or email me with any questions at all (address on my profile).
If 1000 lines of Verilog code (or a little bit of patching in a commercial receiver's firmware, for that matter) is the only thing missing from the terrorists having a working cruise missile, then we're screwed anyway...

Personally I'd love to see more of the advanced features (such as carrier phase measurements and also multiple antenna support) being available in affordable hardware. Preferably in an open system, being open source, providing schematic diagrams, having open APIs and allow access to raw measurement data.

> Throwing people in jail over things that were repeatedly ruled legal and done in good faith

Were these actions ever were ruled upon by a court. There was a memo by an executive branch lawyer, but there is a reason we have separation of powers.

It is well known that kidnapping and torture are illegal and morally wrong. Speaking generally about many people, I do not think they acted in good faith; they were doing what they thought they could get away with.
And as long as utilities are forced to buy back electricity at market-or-higher rates, there's zero incentive to every use a battery system with solar.
I'm still wondering whether MS will encroach on Xamarin territory, especially if it's free.
You ask a good question. I've seen a lot of people express fear. I've seen a lot of claims about startup being killed by patents.... but I've never seen it happen. I've been involved in a bunch of startups over the past 30 years. I have a patent myself and was involved in several others. I'm not aware of any of these patents (Which are now owned by a large company) ever being asserted (I presume that if it were at some point I'd be contacted as the inventor? It's pretty fundamental.)

I have, however, gotten cease and desists based on trade mark. I had a name that was of the type Adjective-Adverb. A company claimed it owned all use of the Adverb word because they'd registered some other two word name that included the same word. I Thought it was hilarious. They weren't even registered in the same business area as I was operating-- yet they sent me several 30-40 page threatening letters and "license agreement/settlement" contracts for me to sign via FedEx. I just tossed them and laughed.
mPath - http://mpath.com/careers - Palo Alto / San Francisco / Remote

mPath is a new type of productivity app for businesses. Most people don't need all of their business data on their phone – just the pieces that matter to them. With mPath, regular folks can modify the app for their needs (without coding). All of this takes between a few minutes and a few hours. We connect to existing data sources like Salesforce and Box.

Right now, we have a small but very talented team. We're looking for a few more folks:

1. iOS Engineer - Swift/Objective C

2. Startup CTO - full stack engineering leader

3. QA Automation Lead - build a testing program

4. Devops Engineer - Docker, AWS

5. Web Services Engineer - Dropwizard, Phoenix

6. Web UI Engineer - Sinatra and React

One of the issues with open sourcing projects after their done is that it's often a lot of work to clean things up.

But to me, it comes down to enforcement. If you're not willing to lawyer up, it's rather pointless to get involved in enforceable licenses that lie between all-rights-reserved and do-whatever-you-want. To put it another way, if hiring a lawyer for advice on licensing seems like overkill, how much does the licensing really matter deep down where push comes to shove?

Considering that in any academic setting, people should cite you regardless of license and those who don't wouldn't even with all-rights-reserved, why make it harder for the good guys?
You are probably restricted to HK exchanges.
Google open source stuff, true, but their development practices leave much to be desired, and in some cases seem designed to limit the usefulness of the source.

Chromium source is a nightmare to build, and requires random, specific versions of the opensource components, or sometimes incorporates requires Google's own forked, slightly different and broken versions.

Android source is becoming less useful as a viable OS replacement every version, as so many apps are tied solely to the Play APIs.

I too am interested in this and would love to hear more.

I just spent the last 7 months living across a cove from a nature preserve, foraging wood from the forests, cutting and splitting it to burn in a stove that heated the house all winter.

In the future I'd like to grow my own food in an automated, self-built, hybrid tilapia/vegetable greenhouse to further reduce my reliance on working for currency to exchange for necessities. I would be better off financially if I coded more for cash and exchanged that cash for necessities, but my brain would have been heavier, with more of the burden of solving other people's problems.

Living like this has been the best experience I've had and brought me back to life after getting burned out working in the city.
I think scammers deserve to be exposed. The truth is if more people shared this kind of information publicly then there would be less scammers. The reason many scammers can do what they do for a long time is because the victims never speak out and warn others against them.
My experience with large numbers of smart powerstrips is that they support ssh and https, but it's not reliable. Their telnet and http is reliable. I don't know why this is the case, but there you have it.

> But it did work for me very well when I was just a developer.

I'm not sure how you arrived at this conclusion. I'm sure you had no problem finding jobs, but that doesn't mean they were the best jobs or that it was due to your applying strategy. Casting a wider net won't necessarily ultimately lead to you having worse jobs, but it will at least cause you to waste more time on interviews.

> Some of the big firms I've worked for absolutely did get hundreds of applications each day for jobs, especially ones aimed at graduates.

I'll venture that every big firm gets hundreds of applications. This is completely irrelevant to my point, which is that handling applications at the corporate level is the wrong way to handle applications.

> They can afford to take the risk of missing a good candidate because they had T-SQL, but not SQL.

And I can afford to be missed by such companies. I am happy to be missed by such companies. I want to work with talented, motivated programmers, not people who made it through a non-technical HR screen.

This is so important to understand. You are in complete control of how satisfied you are with yourself.

My strategy is to pay attention to the present, for example if I had a 'bad' day at work and feel stress at home, I might think about how nice the pjs feel on my skin, or "Trees, wtf those are awesome!"

You are free to exist outside of societal and moral constructs that you perceive (in this case excelling at work). Once you know the source of your dissatisfaction, simply stop feeding it.
Is the precision itself so energy-intensive, though?
http://www.gnss-sdr.org/ claims to be able to work with RTLSDR dongles (cost ~$10 and provides 3,2 MHz Bandwidth. Original article's "homemade GPS" has 2,5 MHz BW).

Certificate Transparency is to detect compromised or malicious CAs, and typically only lets people know about problems after the fact. How would OCSP help with a self-signed certificate? What CA would the OSCP request go to? And cert pinning only works if you've visited the site before while not being MitMed.

A lot of these extensions to TLS help secure popular sites like Google, but they don't scale to the many small-but-important sites such as your local credit union. Instead of adding so much complexity, it's much easier and safer to keep current behavior and warn on self-signed certs.
I somehow never understood the psychology behind "taking down" companies, if that's the only motive of one's endeavors. You want to create a better product or service than Amazon?, that's super cool! Good luck. But what's with taking Amazon down. Compete with them ferociously, but let their destruction not be your aim....
I don't see any admission or indication of "hacking".

Unprofessional? - if "professional" means keeping quiet, reporting it authorities (who don't care and can't do anything about it) and riding quietly into the sunset call me unprofessional any day.
Selective Availability was turned off in 2000 (15 years ago today) after the US government demonstrated that they could limit accuracy over any region they chose if they ever need to[1].
