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. Some of these openings haven't been listed on the site yet, so hit us up at:

Subject: Drone Startup Hiring UI/UX Designer.

We're hiring an experienced designer who’s motivated & excited to take our user experience to the next level.

At Airphrame (www.airphrame.com), our goal is to deploy a fleet of flying robots, potentially 10,000's across the world, that are constantly updating geophysical data (such as 3D point cloud sets) for mapping platforms, environmental & civil engineers, and other industries that can utilize such data. We've been in business 3 years, have recently raised 5M Series A, and have paying customers who love us. Our data is invaluable to maintaining utilities infrastructure (dams, powerlines, highways, rail, etc). In the future, robots (for delivery, cars, etc) will depend on good mapping data to navigate the physical world - and we will be an essential part of that.

Founded by three engineers: Mechatronics, Unmanned Systems, and Software, we have a dynamic environment with offices in MidMarket SF and a robotics laboratory (aka adult treehouse) in Oakland. You could be one of our early core teammates.

About you:
BS/BA in Design or related experience.
4+ years’ experience designing user interfaces.
Expert Photoshop, HTML and CSS skills.
Passion for applying user-centered design processes while working collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
Solid understanding of how design impacts user conversions & other metrics.
Can distill complex ideas into a simple, straightforward interface.
Strong visual design capabilities, including composition, layout, information hierarchy, typography, color and motion.
Excited to join a small team.

APPLICATION PROCESS
Please send an email to: jobs at airphrame.com, subject: [Position Name]
Please include portfolio link or design samples
There are a lot of midsize german companies where loyalty is actually a value that is ingrained in the company. They're often family/privately owned and while they will let employees go if there's no other way, they'll try and keep them as long as possible. Often the owner feels personally responsible for doing so.

This behavior also makes sense from an economic perspective: It's much harder to find new personal and train them to work with your team and technology than bridging the gap for a while and taking profit cuts, especially for smaller companies with less marketing/hiring power.

There are actually state-controlled instruments that support this: Kurzarbeit (where everybody gets to work less and the state pays a subsidy) and similar support.

Flexport | San Francisco
Flexport is a platform for global trade. We make it easier for the next generation of brands to get their products to market.
Paul Graham says, "Flexport is one of those rare startups that will not merely satisfy its market, but grow it. There will be more international trade because of Flexport, and international trade is a very big thing for there to be more of."
We've raised $6.9M seed from great investors including Google Ventures, Bloomberg BETA, First Round Capital and others. And we've reached product-market fit with over $1M in monthly revenue. We're now looking to build out our engineering team here in San Francisco.
Senior Front-End Engineer
Flexport is looking for talented front-end engineers to join our team here in San Francisco. This is a high impact and high ownership opportunity for self-starters interested in solving real-world problems and streamlining the inefficient industry of global trade.
You’ll report to our CTO, Amos Elliston, who previously co-founded Geni, where he helped build and spin out Yammer.
What You’ll Do
* Create tools that make it easier for companies of all sizes to participate in global trade
* Help build intuitive, highly efficient and performant interfaces to automate the repetitive parts of logistics
What You’ll Need
* Awesome coding skills and Computer Science fundamentals
* Next-level analytical problem solving talent
* Experience in a fast-paced work environment. You ship quality code quickly.
* A product-first approach to building software. You care about the real world functionality of your programming.
* Experience with one or more modern javascript frameworks.
Our Stack
In the frontend, we use React for the views, organize the data flow with Flux architecture, and test our application with Jest. We use a hybrid version of Bootstrap styles mixed with hand-built Sass components as our CSS library and are moving away from Bootstrap as we continue building our apps. We follow OOCSS methodology and use Hologram for documentation.
On the backend, we're a Rails shop riding on AWS and Postgres RDS. Using Rspec we believe in just enough testing to provide full coverage without introducing a lot of change friction. Our architecture is light-weight and modular in nature adhering to the fat models, skinny controllers ideology.
Our Process
Flexport engineering is a close-knit team where everyone reviews each other’s Github pull requests. We are expected to learn from our peers and help others learn. Code is released almost everyday or whenever business requires. Our continuous releases are integrated with Travis and Github.
Benefits
* Competitive salary
* Full Medical, Dental, and Vision Package
* Considerable equity in a company growing at breakneck speeds
Come talk to us about the chance to forever change the face of global trade in a professional atmosphere that encourages individuality and responsibility.
Apply
To apply please email jobs@flexport.com with your resume and some information about you, your work, and why Flexport might be the right next step for your career.
Absolutely. In fact, if I was running a hedge fund I'd definitely not want to hire the person that without hesitation signalled willingness to pay the EV of the dice roll: i.e. a person that when offered an opportunity to speculate with the potential for profit and no certainty about the ask price or their own risk tolerance, instantly bids at a price which makes the speculation a zero-sum gamble.

I'm assuming some of the relatively smart candidates that don't leap at the answer are pondering whether they should ask about the interviewer about risk aversion, Sharpe ratios etc, or whether that's a trap and they're supposed to make inferences about a measure of risk adjustment based on the known distribution of dice outcomes. Of course, their over-thinking of the problem would help them rather than harm them if they talked through the problem, but people tend to go very quiet when they're convinced they're under more pressure than they actually are.
Are build tools making the web too complicated for beginners?
It's dangerous, however, to allow an employer with "mission fit" to get away with things you wouldn't take from another employer.

For instance, in recent years, in the US, we've taken a hard stance that interns who perform essential job functions - which basically all interns do - must be paid. Should this requirement be relaxed for a non-profit? How does the way I feel about that change if I'm a donor to that non-profit? I care about the mission, but I also care how we get there.

I'm fairly sure that internal to Mozilla, Wikimedia, ahem the Association for Computing Machinery (promoting computing as a science AND a profession!), and any other non-profit corporation you can find a lot of the same internal struggles that employees everywhere face.

Further, you have a leadership team who believes it's OK to pay people below market because they "love" and "are loyal to" their job.

It works for a lot of people, and I know / have known a lot of folks very happy with such choices, but it can be a dangerous alleyway to wander down as well.
It was mostly created to relieve the airlines of responsibility and potential liability for security incidents: airport security, including federal regulations of what you could bring on to planes and what had to be verified before you got on them, existed before the TSA federalized the actual screening.
I strongly disagree. They're all very powerful features that don't require anything to be useful, if not user friendly, out of the box in a reasonable distribution of vim.
What's kind of laughable is that if Google hadn't been its half-baked self. They could have locked down electronic mobile payment, what, almost a decade ago now?

CloudFlare, Inc

Locations: San Francisco, CA, US; London, UK; Singapore, SG; VISA ONSITE

CloudFlare is the leading edge network performance and security company -- with customers ranging from "mommy blogger" WordPress blogs all the way through large, highly dynamic sites like HN, Reddit, and many enterprise sites. There are all the challenges of making the Internet better from a performance perspective as well as trying to drive security forward for everyone.

We're rapidly growing and always looking to fill a variety of roles (we started 2015 at 128 and are looking to double every year...), but a few in particular.

https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team has a full listing. Please apply through the website.

1) Principal Engineer -- we're looking for someone who can help re-architect the parts of our site which are starting to show scaling issues (a high class problem to have). A lot of our stack is in PHP and Postgres stored procedures, but there's no requirement it remain so, and no requirement you be a PHP expert. We're very interested in fully transitioning to Go and a microservices architecture, so we'd highly value someone who is familiar with the transition.

2) VP Engineering --
Our team is growing rapidly (and >50% engineering), and we're looking for an engineering leader with a people-first philosophy. We're looking for someone with a track record of snipping great products and who can build great organizations where engineers love to work.

I am an experienced consultant always looking for new customers. I do anything software related: architecture, design, implementation, QA, documentation, ...

The work I deliver is of extremely high quality (I invite you to reassure yourself by chatting with my clients), I am super reliable, responsible and quite flexible.

I would prefer to work with Lisp but will happily use any programming language / stack (except proprietary platforms).
React might be slower but it is more battle tested against multiple browsers than other vdom implementations, any vdom implementation might have to take performance hits to support older browsers like Internet Explorer 8
The limiting factor with this is it requires 2-6000 fps video. I think this restriction can be lifted.

Sound travels 2.8m in 1/120th of a second, a frame rate that is available in smartphone cameras today. Therefore, if you have a surface that can be analyzed for sound which is at least 2.8m long in the direction the sound is travelling, you have a snapshot through time of the effect the sound waves have on that surface for the whole ~8ms of the frame's duration (if you ignore the problem of progressive scanning).

Does this sound reasonable? Maybe you'd need more than 2.8m. To get over the progressive scanning problem perhaps you could orient the camera so the direction of the scanning is orthogonal to the direction of sound propagation, then the image can be skewed to counteract the effect of the scanning.

Long-time Hacker News readers will be familiar with Matasano Security, and will expect to see us post in this thread. This month, there will not be a post from Matasano Security. Effective today, there will no longer be a Matasano Security. Instead, we're officially rebranding as NCC Group.

In late 2012, Matasano was acquired by NCC Group joining iSEC Partners and later Intrepidus Group. Since that time, we've been working together, cross staffing projects and benefiting from each other’s expertise. It's been a slow, steady process of increasing cohesion. We've reached the point where we need to assume a single identity, that of NCC Group.

Being a part of this process as it unfolds reminds me a bit of watching the Voltron cartoon series as a child in the '80s. The show featured pilots each commanding their own robot lions. Robot lions are fierce, powerful beings. But when they came together they'd form Voltron - a giant humanoid robot with the lions compromising each of it's parts. I like to think this is what's happening at NCC Group. What were previously separate companies each well accomplished in computer security are becoming a single even more formidable entity. "Form arms and body! And, I'll form the head!"

So, what does this have to do with hiring?

Growing a larger company requires a larger number of individuals. We still need candidates with the same skills as always; programming, reverse engineering, protocol analysis, web application building/breaking, adversarial thinking. We need people who understand technology and can identify flaws in how it's implemented. We need those who can look at a security weakness, and accurately gauge it's relative risk to the organization. And we need folks who can communicate that risk to multiple audiences, in varying levels of detail.

There's no better time than now to join us. Our integration effort has opened up opportunity within the company to focus on areas of specialization, advance skills, and take on ever more complex projects and challenges. If you've always wanted to be part of something new, but found yourself averse to the risk of early stage start ups, joining us now might be a way to do both. We're stable but we're evolving and changing, and our employees will shape what we become.

Please, bear with us on the sites above. We've migrated a boatload of content, and it's likely there will be some website wrinkles. We'll iron them out as soon as we can (mostly we'll just keep breaking interesting software).

If Javascript didn't have closures, then var's scoping rules would largely be academic.

But in practice, there are many cases when I have to create multiple callbacks in a loop; half the time I forget that, in Javascript, declaring a variable inside a loop does not actually create a variable local to the loop, and so have to keep debugging why all my callbacks are behaving exactly the same.

The let statement appears to adopt Lua-style lexical scoping, which will be a breath of fresh air once I can rely on browser support.
Paying money into Pre creates a two class system between the haves and havenots. It does nothing to improve security.

In fact, it pretty much proves that Pre should be the norm instead of exception.
shouldComponentUpdate is generalizable across any type of component. The angular thing looked like something array specific.
It would be nice if they just decided that the security theatre doesn't work but I doubt it. And there is an argument that without 100% chance of success, and the number of steps that have to go right for a "big" event, that even a small detection rate is sufficient. But I would much prefer a more systemic fix.

> Sure, but your name presages what I might have to add.

My username has nothing to do with affinity for syntax. In fact, I would have started with Elixir a year earlier if in 2012 I hadn't dismissed the language for looking too much like Ruby. I ultimately embraced Elixir for its Erlang-like qualities, the parts I like from Clojure and excellent tooling.

> But the ability to change the constructs of the language are limited compared with a Lisp like LFE. I am a novice, so I defer to the man himself to elucidate - Robert Virding

Robert actually talked with José about that on Twitter recently[0] . This is above my head as well, but I think LFE's extensibility is something that gets stretched a bit too far whenever a comparison of Elixir and LFE comes up.

Full-Stack Web Developer (Rails + JS + HTML/CSS + Light Design) | Gotham Dream Cars | Remote | Part-Time+

So this is a bit of a different kind of gig/company. Not Silicon Valley. Not even really tech. But cool :)

GDC (http://www.gothamdreamcars.com) is an ultra-exotic car rental company. I started it about 11 years ago and have built it organically to a multi-city company renting out some of the coolest cars on earth.

A few years ago I dove headfirst into the tech side of things, taught myself to code, brushed off the 'ol design skills, and built our entire tech stack myself - and it now runs the whole company. But I'm focused on other things these days and don't have the time to maintain / continue to develop the site, so it's time to bring someone on board to handle it.

It's not the most world-changing stuff -- essentially a CRUD app with a consumer-facing frontend and admin-facing backend for managing the fleet, booking reservations, doing light CRM, billing, logistics, etc. But it's incredibly satisfying to work on -- every feature directly helps the employees in the office work more efficiently, helps the cars get booked more often, and helps our customers stay happy. It's step-by-step replacing manual processes and has a huge impact on the company, employees and customers.

If you're looking for some satisfying part-time, remote Rails + Frontend work and are interested in directly improving an interesting business that deals with Ferraris and Lamborghinis, this might be ideal for you. There's zero overhead here -- if you have an idea for a feature, you can go ahead code it up and push it live that day.

You don't have to be a senior Rails or JavaScript expert - you just have to be better than I am ;) (I'm a solid intermediate.) But please do have experience with Rails - I'd prefer to work with someone who can hit the ground running.

There's a long list of fun features on my to-do list, so the first few weeks/months would be more involved as you bang out updates and get things caught up, then it would transition to maintenance, new features, new ideas, etc. over time. I expect needing ~30 hrs/week for the first few months and then scaling down to 10-20 hrs/week.

Note I'm pretty serious about "full stack" here -- I've been a one-man band the past few years and you're effectively going to replace me in day-to-day stuff, so while you don't need to be a pro graphic designer too, you should have some basic design skills since it's all you. I'll still be here and can certainly help in this area, but I'm going to lean on you for a majority of the heavy lifting.

A bit about our stack and some of the tasks at hand:

* Rails (currently on 3.2, moving to 4.x)
* MongoDB (but that's gotta go, so we're moving to Postgres)
* Stylus for CSS (not wedded to it - open to SASS/LESS if it makes sense)
* Haml / Slim for HTML templates
* JavaScript (currently mess of jQuery - TBD which framework we'll move to)
* Git-based workflow

If this sounds interesting/fun and you like the idea of taking ownership over a live web app from top to bottom, take a look at the site, shoot me an email (contact info in HN profile) and we'll discuss.
