You dismiss Musk's accomplishments because he has so many of the "best minds" working for him. That is exactly the wrong way to look at it. Go out and try to recruit someone who is brilliant. You will see it's a non-trivial task.

Furthermore the reason I believe him to be the most significant entrepreneur of all time is this... No one that I know of... has taken progressively larger fortunes and bet them on such high risk venture. No one ever has done that... Most people would have retired after zip2. Even a highly driven person would have probably become a venture capitalist after paypal... like Peter Thiel did. Also, no one that I know has come so publicly to the brink of failure and succeeded like Elon did in 2008. The underlying reason is no one has vision like he does. Going to Mars, and accelerating the transition to electric vehicles are huge ideas... The vision of going to Mars alone is in the same league as JFK and going to the moon. And that's just 1/2 of what is working on.

Watsi (YCW13) / SF / Full-stack engineers (onsite)

Watsi is a global crowdfunding platform that enables anyone to directly fund healthcare for people around the world.

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

We’re a team of engineers, designers, doctors, and marketers working at Watsi because we believe that everyone, everywhere deserves access to healthcare. We move fast, take risks, and come to work every day excited about building an organization that matters more than we do.

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to join our eight-person team in San Francisco. The ideal candidate is a self-directed, product-focused generalist who’s excited to work on whatever is needed to bring healthcare to the world – everything from optimizing donation flows to designing a patient management system for hospitals.

If this sounds interesting to you, please send us an email at jobs@watsi.org, include your linkedin, github, etc, and tell us a little about yourself.

For more about what we do and what it’s like to work at Watsi, check out our recent trips to Guatemala (http://exposure.watsi.org/saying-yes), Cambodia (http://exposure.watsi.org/rehabilitation-nation), and East Africa (http://exposure.watsi.org/a-dose-of-perspective)

HERE is hiring a DevOps engineer focused on deployment automation
> but some people act like he is achieving all this on his own when he has thousands of people working for him who are among the best minds available.

Yes, he does now, but at one point in the past, he did not. Building a world-beating team is extremely difficult--IMO, way more difficult than most programmer/engineer types here on HN give credit for.

Hiring super smart and dedicated people is hard to do, especially for a risky startup. You have to identify the talent you need, and convince them to leave their current job to take a risk on you (because talented people tend to already be employed in nice jobs). And you have to do it very quickly, repeatedly, without making too many mistakes.

It's difficult to get out of the hindsight mode, and remember that in the early days all of his current companies looked unlikely to succeed. He's "Elon Musk" now, but in those days he was just one of the PayPal millionaires--potentially a one-hit wonder.

Beyond hiring, there is organizing the team. That means hiring leaders outside the engineering comfort zone, like financial, sales, managerial, communications, HR, etc. And organizing them and delegating the right work to them, while maintaining focus on the things that only a CEO could do.

So, the fact that his companies employ thousands of top-notch people is, to me, one of the best reasons to think of him as an unique and amazing leader.

On top of this, he's doing it in multiple industries at once--and in industries that most people thought had very high barriers to new entrants.
If you use frameworks where components communicate by exchanging messages then it's quite easy to start with a single app and later scale it to multiple services. With frameworks like Akka (Actors) or Vert.x the communication can be local or remote and the calling code is the same for both.
Naked Apartments

Android Engineer | REMOTE | Full Time | Anywhere

Naked Apartments has set out to simplify renting, starting in NYC. We're a small team, growing fast, and already taking a big bite out of Craigslist's juicy NYC revenues, but we've set our sights on much bigger goals.

Our team is optimized for developer impact and freedom.

* A TRULY REMOTE job. We've taken Jason Fried's TED talk [1] to heart and built an entirely distributed team, which includes even our CEO. We have no physical office for employees to report to just in case you're worried about bait and switch ;)

* Flexible work schedules. Work the times that work best for you. Our team cares about what gets done, not about how many hours you stare at your screen.

* No wire frames, pixel perfect designs, or 35 page specs handed down from out of touch product managers. We trust our engineers to help define business needs and shape them.

* Engineers get to take an idea from conception all to way to production, coupled with a team support system to get feedback and iterate until you've built a something we're all proud of.

* Friendly, funny, energetic co-workers.

* Our company is profitable and growing.

We want team members we can trust, who not only care deeply about well written and tested code, but our business as well. Be ready to learn, grow, and help the team do great things together. Send us an email, we'd love to hear from you: jobs@nakedapartments.com

Maybe there is a market for "go get" in the cloud where you could paste a repository link and get back binaries for a selected distribution. It should be pretty easy to set up too.
InfluxDB CEO here. Those problems with corrupting data were with the 0.8 line of releases. But to be honest there are people that have been running that and 0.7 in production for almost a year without problems. Your mileage may vary, but we're not supporting any releases prior to the 0.9 line.

For the 0.9 set of releases, this is what we're supporting going forward. There are some queries that cause the server to crash, but as far as I know, there are no problems that corrupt the database or cause data loss.

We'll be releasing 0.9.1 tomorrow. Every 3 weeks after that we'll be releasing a new point release in the 0.9 line that will be a drop in replacement.

Each one of these releases will fix bugs, improve performance, and add features on clustering (last part starting with 0.9.2).

We're starting work on the on disk size with the 0.9.2 release cycle. If it's ready it'll be in that release in 3 weeks.

Basically, it works now for some use cases and scales. Over the next 3 months we'll be adding features and optimizing to make it useful for larger scales and more use cases.

Overall it's still alpha software, which is why we haven't put anything out there that's called a 1.0 release. However, we're trying very hard to not make any breaking API changes going forward between now and whenever we get to 1.0.
Could the shareholders be convinced that the combination leaving (inevitably) exploitable backdoors and telling all of their customers that they'll roll over on 'em at government's slightest whim result in losing more customers than pulling up stakes?

You misunderstood. The CPU doesn't get to decide how many cores are used; the operating system's scheduler does. The CPU just tries to keep an accurate running estimate of its power consumption and uses that to predict whether it has enough headroom to boost the clock speed above the nominal full speed. If some cores are temporarily idled by the OS, then that frees up a lot of power and allows the remaining cores to have their clock speed boosted further.
The parent's humorous wish is granted by the wizards of MIT Scheme (and, I daresay, even more fulfilled by Racket):

"Scheme is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive dialect of the Lisp programming language invented by Guy Lewis Steele Jr. and Gerald Jay Sussman. It was designed to have an exceptionally clear and simple semantics and few different ways to form expressions. A wide variety of programming paradigms, including imperative, functional, and message passing styles, find convenient expression in Scheme."

I contend that a lot of the issues related to microservices growing so popular is that we are missing boundaries in our applications. Instead of creating stronger boundaries between modules (or having well defined modules at all), we create physical boundaries between applications and computers to force a protocol based system.

If yes, please, create a library.

Microservices share data, if you'll need part of the data in other projects, yes, they are the way to go. If you just need behavior, or need to decentralize CPU usage, there are plenty of easier ways to achieve those.

That it's an optional and possibly little-used feature, makes it even more likely that a distro will forget to change the default, and that it will go unnoticed for a while, and then an end-user (end-sysadmin?) decides to use the feature... and is using NTP servers that _everyone_ involved agrees should not be used in production, and worse, the reasons they should not be used will not immediately apparent as soon as you use them, but are subtle and may result in confusing and difficult to diagnose problems in hard to predict ways.

I think this is why it offends some people's sensibilities so much to go down this route, you are leaving a very subtle and confusing hole for someone to fall into.

I do this, too, and it works very well. Specifically, almost everything on my screen is very light-colored (exception: when I am recreating rather than working) and then when I am working at night I use OS X to "invert" all the colors on the screen, with the result that the color 0x000000 becomes 0xFFFFFF, 0x000001 becomes 0xFFFFFE, etc.

If you have access to an OS X environment, you can try out "invert colors" at System Preferences > Accessibility > Display. iOS has it, too.

KCG ETG (Electronic Trading Group) | San Jose, CA (ONSITE) | C++ Developer

We work on fully automated algorithmic
trading systems, both for customer market making and proprietary trading. An
ETG developer works on building the trading platforms (mostly C++) and all the
infrastructure around it (C++, Python, Perl, etc).

This position specifically is for a small new team formed to focus on high
impact projects that help us become more agile and innovative. We take
advantage of the latest technologies in C++ and open source communities (see
examples below), and come up with ideas and find and propose and implement
projects that can help improve the firm's productivity in the long run.

Examples of things we do:

* Implement large scale changes to the C++ code base using Clang LibTooling

* Create a testing framework or improve test coverage tracking

* Work on expanding continuous integration and deployment

* Design and implement more performant or more maintainable replacements for existing software components

* Automate manual tasks such as deployment, testing, or performance monitoring

For this position we require strong CS background, and considerable experience
with C++, preferably C++11 or later. Python and Unix shell scripting experience
is a plus. It is also a plus if you generally keep up with the new technologies,
and often think about ways to leverage the latest tools, libraries, and
standards for your work.
