At Mixlr, we’re currently looking to meet great developers with a background in one or more of Ruby, C/C++ and Linux server administration.

Mixlr is a simple way to share live audio. Over 40,000 live broadcasters and millions of listeners use our platform every month, and the use cases go far beyond music: our service is used by politicians, journalists, teachers, podcasters, concert-goers and many more.

Our main web applications are built using Ruby and Ruby on Rails, but we have also built in-house native mobile applications for iOS and Android, and a cross-platform broadcast app in C++ for both Windows and Mac.

We are a small team and to help build and maintain our service, we invest in building great internal tools, monitoring systems and backend processes.

Keywords: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Puppet, Nodejs, Websockets, Redis, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, streaming media, Java, mobile, devops.

Blendle | Utrecht, the Netherlands | Operations/Backend/Frontend/iOS/Android/Business

One year ago we launched our pay-per-article startup Blendle in the Netherlands. The goal: put all newspapers and magazines in the country behind one (quite sexy) paywall, and make it so easy to use that young people start paying for journalism again.

Right now we're focusing on scaling internationally. We use Ruby, Node.js, Redis, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, Ansible, Sinatra, Clojure, React and more Ruby. We're playing with Go, Elixir and Spark amongst others.

If you're interested feel free to ask me anything, I'm a software engineer.

You might not be aware of it but it is indeed a common usage in both Dutch and Flemish, especially in the diminutive.

Phemist's tongue-in-cheek remark drew attention to it to suggest that the name might not be well chosen for those parts of the world.

Thanks! Updating all my build scripts now.
Europe Rebuffs Greek Advance as Poll Points to ‘Yes’ Vote
Yes their leg was off-marketed.
At the time, ESA 1995 allowed this kind of transaction (actually most euro countries lobbied for looser rules on swaps as every major treasury was employing CCS (France, Germany and Italy to name a few, at the time those countries were running budget deficits hence they were in no position to argue for fiscal conservatism). Eurostat knew, even if they didn't (which is impossible as those transactions were reported) they could have if they read Risk Magazine.
Also, Goldman was just a piece of the puzzle, most deals were between Greek banks.
Seriously, they did their job, and in fact it' still business as usual (you'd think relationships went sour otherwise)
Time Warner Cable has implemented IPv6 fully for all residential customers (excluding customer owned modems that do not support IPv6). All new internet circuits for commercial DOCSIS and fiber are built with IPv6 also.
Practical implies you value some objectives over others. What would those be?
10,000 Gather to Hear Bernie Speak
You mean... what voting is supposed to do for free in a normal democracy? Demos Kratos, yeah right, Large Companies Kratos.
I find it terribly confusing. It means that Haskell is almost never something I can expect a lot from, but a weird combination of extensions changing to "non-standard" behaviours.
The number I've heard is 20x your annual expenses. I don't think there are any meaningful sources to cite here, but I remember reading that from the Mr Money Mustache crowd.
Disney museum in presidio, by the golden gate. Really worth it.
As a bonus: Statue of Yoda a short walk/drive away at Lucas Arts, also in the presidio. Peek into the offices for some star wars memorabilia.
Companies - if you're into that: uber / twitter/ square ... all next to each other on Market St. Further into SOMA, around 4th and king, you can find many other startups.
South Park: little park area off 3rd street... where Twitter was 'founded'.
Random: Mrs. Doubtfire (Robin Williams movie) house in pacific height.
Cafe Jaqueline - in north beach - a favorite restaurant of Steve Jobs. I think it was mentioned in the Isaacson book.
You need to save about 30 times what you spend in a year. Invested in index funds, you can withdraw 3-4% per year basically indefinitely.
How the unicorn bubble will pop
From the perspective of the ISP many customers are totally incapable of implementing NAT and waste IP addresses like they are dollar bills at the strip club.
The problem is that if you're at an income level where you could comfortably save up for something like this, you're also likely to have much higher fixed costs (bigger house, car, etc) and more expensive habits (food, subscriptions, etc).

That said, without living particularly frugally I'm currently able to save up to a third of my monthly income. This means that without cutting costs I could spend one month jobless for each two months of saving. Truth be told there's still plenty of spending I could cut back on, although that would mean a change in lifestyle.

Time to start saving too?
So founders are 'doomed' to success when they switch to startup culture? I worked in corporate and startup environments. Corporations can be extremely efficient, startups can be extremely inefficient. It depends. Simplistic and false stereotypes are not helpful.
Tangential to the main issue but Tech Dirt needs lessons on basic journalism. CFAA should have been defined at first reference. It's just bad writing. I had no idea what CFAA meant until I Googled it. I wish these kinds of publications would learn what a style book is.
This is what I do as well, so I'll chime in with a few more upsides. (Honestly, I haven't yet found any downsides to bootstrapping vs. going the VC route, so I can't list any).

As a single founder, you get the maximum leverage out of being good at what you do. The ratio of deadwood at your company is either zero or one, so as long as you are in fact genuinely good at building things, you can get things built a lot faster than you'd ever expect to see at a larger company.

You also get maximum control over what you're building. No cramming in dumb features that don't fit because somebody in marketing decided they might be a good idea. No stepping on anybody's feelings by cutting a feature they wanted or abandoning their vision for what the product should do.

And of course you get to play on the whole stack. You get to make the schema changes for that new feature, as well as the back end, layout, and all the fiddly javascript bits. And you get to market that feature and handle customer support for it and play Social Media Coordinator. Racking servers, conference calls with Fortune 500 CEOs, it's all your job.

Best of all, you get to decide how much of your life this thing is going to take up. If you're the kind of guy that needs to pour 80 hour weeks into his baby, sacrifice all his free time, lose his girlfriend, and live 100% for his business, then cool. You get to be that guy. Or if you're more of a "roll out of bed at 10am, check HN over coffee, spend a couple hours on a feature then head out to the mountains because the sun's out" kind of guy, then cool too. You can be that guy instead.

Whichever path you take, chances are you'll find your way to profitability at some point. And when you do, those profits all flow directly into your bank account. Granted, your "impact" might be "limited" in as much as you might never become a billionaire. But hey, a few hundred grand a year will buy a lot of beer.

And since it's really hard to set things up in a small SaaS business so that they consume more than a small fraction of your time once the basic product is out the door, you'll have lots of free time to contemplate where and how to consume said beer.

All the best!
Here's a similar idea http://www.typeform.com/examples

For a long form it was okay, once, since it acted as a tutorial of sorts. After that I believe it would get tedious.
The problem there is that you have a cushy programming job.

The bigger question is what about the gas station clerks? Or cleaning people? Or wait staff? Or any of the people working the millions of other jobs that just totally suck. Having done it in the past, I'm 100% sure nobody wakes up totally stoked to go bus tables or wash dishes.

So, maybe people who have awesome jobs will just keep doing what they're doing, but for people with shitty jobs, why not say, "F* it, I can get by with the guaranteed minimum, so why bother?"
Hard to tell. I remember seeing in the docs somewhere that they suggest capturing for 5 minutes and checking out to make sure it's OK to investigate further.

As a practical matter, what more can they do? I wouldn't expect them to actively try to give up on following leads. Seems like the intent of the law is being attempted to be followed.
Charlie Stross has a somewhat amusing yet reasonably accurate way of putting it: "we are living in the aftermath of an alien invasion".

http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/12/invaders...

> Corporations do not share our priorities. They are hive organisms constructed out of teeming workers who join or leave the collective: those who participate within it subordinate their goals to that of the collective, which pursues the three corporate objectives of growth, profitability, and pain avoidance.

...

> Corporations have a mean life expectancy of around 30 years, but are potentially immortal; they live only in the present, having little regard for past or (thanks to short term accounting regulations) the deep future: and they generally exhibit a sociopathic lack of empathy.

...

> Collectively, corporate groups lobby international trade treaty negotiations for operating conditions more conducive to pursuing their three goals.

...

> We are now living in a global state that has been structured for the benefit of non-human entities with non-human goals. They have enormous media reach, which they use to distract attention from threats to their own survival. They also have an enormous ability to support litigation against public participation, except in the very limited circumstances where such action is forbidden.

Indeed, 1 out of 5 users in USA today has IPv6.
The number is actually 25. It is based on a withdrawal of 4 %: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/05/29/how-much-do-i-need....
It sounds like your addressing a few of my points already, which is great.

But I don't think you've got a leg to stand on when you say "rather original". You could definitely say "innovative", or "vastly improved" because you have slashed the costs by 90% which is amazing. But that doesn't change the fact 'this has been done before', done 'poorly' but 'done' none the less. This isn't a bad thing, I had a smart phone before the iPhone, I loved my P900, but I like my iPhone way more.
You folks have the best toolchain for making games. My best experience working on a game engine+editor combo was when I used Unreal Engine. It's a pity that you only have openings in usa.
Time zones are archaic. So many things would be simplified with a one world time.
Yes, I remember those discussions here in HN. The simple fact was they had built and entire product around someone else's data. They maintained an "f-you" attitude even after the cease and desists. Those companies got hammered because of their arrogance. They could have built a CL-killer but instead they built a CL-piggybacker but did so in a way that violated CL's terms of use.
Depends. If every euro you earn there adds to your unconditional minimum income, instead of replacing a euro from welfare, the motivation to work for that new car, or whatever, becomes pretty tangible.

Note that €900 (or €1300 for a family) is pretty barebones. You won't be putting much more than bread and potatoes on the table using that. And you'll probably live in a rather small house too.
Could We End Road Rage If You Could Just Send a Smiley Face to Other Drivers?
Apple Music's Censorship in India [Reddit]
Just to chime in, the fact that this substantially-identical ad has been running here and on CL for years, while rejecting lots of people, says maybe the requirements can be massaged a bit to reflect what you're actually looking for in light of what you aren't finding in the many people who do attempt to get their foot in the door.

Even pedantically, that's not true: the HN guidelines have never said you must always use the original title. Pedantry aside, the important thing above is language in the article itself that is representative of what it says. That's both why we changed the title and what we changed it to.

> allow both titles and descriptions on posts with URLs.

I appreciate the suggestion, but we're unlikely to do that. On HN, submitting a story conveys no special rights, and submitters do not get to frame the story for everybody else. Framing it for everybody else effectively means controlling the discussion. We want discussion to be driven by the article itself, not a single user's spin. If a submitter wishes to offer a description or say what they think is important about a story, they're welcome to do so by adding a comment to the thread on the same footing as everybody else.
No no no! Plz do not shrink them! Every developer knows how to shrink SVG. But it's really hard to get nice readable SVG back from shrinked ones. Better this way...
Uber to open in 7 new Indian cities to keep pace with local rival
Assuming you average 7% each year on the S&P 500, inflation averages 3%, and 50K per year is your target, you would want at least 1.25 million USD in the bank. Taking into account volatility, you'd probably want at least 1.8M.
How are they mixed? It looks like only tabs to me.

I don't think people are really arguing that part. Well Techdirt is a bit with the whole whining about "b-b-but 3taps was making CL more valuable" as if that mattered (apart from being open to interpretation).

The issue is that CL and this judge have set a precedent (I think?) that private companies can make up felonies by deciding what "authorized access" is.

You wanna sue a business for scraping your site? Hey, fine, that's a civil business issue. (And really, there shouldn't be legal limits on that kind of behaviour to a publicly accessible system anyways. Or at least there should be some level of malicious intent required.) Trying to use a law with criminal/felony penalties is grossly out-of-line.
> So, maybe people who have awesome jobs will just keep doing what they're doing, but for people with shitty jobs, why not say, "F* it, I can get by with the guaranteed minimum, so why bother?"

As more of their jobs get automated away, this could be seen as a feature.
Yeah but at the same time, it would allow people to be more picky about where they work. "I need money so I'll take any job" is a different mindset than "I am financially independent and I'm looking to make more monies in a job I like"

If nobody is required to do the "shitty jobs", I wonder if those jobs would increase in value as less people do them? Maybe having a waiter at a restaurant would become a luxury.

Perhaps all the jobs would continue to exist but there'd be some very interesting rebalancing.
You'll still miss out on the client side optimistic updates.

I think the main benefit of Meteor is not that it's impossible to do what it does with other libraries/frameworks, but how easy it makes those things for you.
Why is it morally wrong? It may be a risky technical decision, but how can it be morally wrong? Would it have been better if the data was processed via a client-side browser plugin?

And Uber's "fuck the rules" are on a totally different level than sending HTTP requests to a server to aggregate publicly accessible information.
... or is it at github? That would serve my needs. ;)
I agree. A company's efficiency and effectiveness all depend on a working interlude between (org) process and sane leadership decisions. No kind of process or organizational structure will fix bad management.

I guess, for bigger organizations the challenge is make this work across multiple layers of leadership, which seems to be a very difficult task.

I sort of ran this experiment on myself this year.

The answer is that I have actually probably learned more about coding than I had in the 3-4 previous years when I was working a lot, since I had more time to delve in to topics in depth, rather than rush to ship.

It feels great, and I've come out the other side much more productive in the projects I have kept working on.

Is it that large of a scale as far as leak-locations go? Isn't it basically several dozen fibre taps?

Also, we knew the FBI was doing this in the 90s so it shouldn't be totally surprising to find the NSA doing it now.

The scale is the awesome data processing and operative capabilities. But is that so surprising to remain secret? I'm sure the NSA and other parts of big governments do all sorts of nifty shit and manage to keep it quite much longer than a decade.
Security is one of the fields where I think the most interesting stuff arrives at conferences when they are so old:) In a phd course we reviewed some articles disclosing possible attacks, but by the time they went "public" they were practically old.
I tried Atom when it came out, it was painfully slow...on a whim I tried it a couple of weeks ago to test the go-plus package for go development and, and I was pleasantly surprised how much performance improved, personally when both editors are open, I don't see a speed difference anymore. If you have not tried Atom recently, give it a go.
Income has a diminishing return, once you're out of "minimum income" the ammount requred to take the shit job is not linear.

You can either lowball the minimum income to the point where you can't realistically live on it for long or a lot of services get more expensive + tax hike to support it = lower standard of living for normal people (unaffected by minimum income but not rich enouh to ignore the costs)
Can this really work when applied just partially? This experiment is about ~250 people with basic income in a large city. (The text mentions 300 people, but some of them form a control group that doesn't receive basic income.)

So if any of these selected people will try to find a job, they will probably voluntarily "lose" it to somebody to really needs that job. Even without that moral issue, this makes still sense from a business point of view: All else equal, hiring a poor worker is probably perferable to hiring a wealthy one, as the poor worker has more incentives to work really hard.
For the past two years I've been using a Nexus 5, which I never really liked (should have gotten the LG G2 instead) because of the average build and camera quality.

Then Google bricked it with the 5.1.1 update, so while waiting for the replacement to arrive I got a cheap Lumia 535 that I'm loving so far.

Fast forward one week, Nexus 5 replacement arrives, and updating to the latest version bricks it again (this time a soft brick :)

Having realized that Google is apparently packed with morons I'll stick with Windows Phone for a while. Looking forward to the upcoming Lumia 940 or the successor of the Lumia 1020.
