NYC - SoundCloud

SoundCloud is the world's leading audio platform, allowing everyone to share and discover unique content anywhere, anytime, on the web and on mobile. Monetization Engineering builds the platform that helps creators monetize their content and brands engage with SoundCloud's audience.We’re currently seeking an iOS Engineer to support our monetization efforts.

You’ll have 2+ years experience developing modularized applications with Objective-C and Cocoa frameworks, have experience in network programming and working with client-side data persistence utilizing CoreData. You’ll understand how to modularize applications using dependency management tools and build adaptive UIs for iPhone/iPad (Interface builder & Autolayout). Ideally you’ll have experience with unit & functional testing using tools like XCTest, Specta or Kiwi, etc. We also make extensive use of ReactiveCocoa, so understanding functional reactive programming concepts is definitely desired .

Interacting with designers, product managers and our teams in Berlin is very much part of our day-to-day, so communication skills are vital . We are looking for strong problem-solvers who can apply their engineering skills to a wide range of the platforms and environments we support.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to chat.

Diversity at SoundCloud

SoundCloud is for everyone. Diversity and open expression are fundamental to our organization; they help us build a social platform and global community where anyone can create, discover, and share sounds. We acknowledge the challenges in our industry, and strive to develop an inclusive culture where everyone can contribute.
Would you really need a physical arcade for that though?

If everyone has a black box strapped to their face and can communicate sub-100ms, would people even know that they weren't in the same physical location?
C++14 didn't introduce any new breaking changes to pre-C++11 functionality, so switching to C++11 first would not make the migration now any easier and would introduce the need for another migration in the future.
IdealSpot Inc, Austin, TX, ONSITE, INTERNS possible

IdealSpot is looking for a backend engineer!

IdealSpot brings the power of machine learning to retail site selection. Basically, we work with the massive amount of location-based data sources out there to help businesses find the best place to open a new location.

We're a young startup (less than a year old), but now that we have seed funding, we're looking to scale up our business. We'd like to handle a huge number of data sources, with a huge number of models processing them, providing value to a huge number of businesses. Since we're so early in our development, there's a lot of room to help us work out the architecture, and make a big impact in how our business works.

Most importantly, we are looking for general software engineering skills. You should be able to dive into any problem and understand the interactions between all the different parts of it. You should be able to write clean, maintainable, modular code.
That said, we are looking for somebody who can:

* Code in Python (preferably including NumPy/SciPy/Pandas/Scikit-learn)

* Work with "messy" data--scraping websites, working with CSV/JSON/REST APIs, automating cleanup tasks, etc.

* Interact with databases (we use Postgres/PostGIS/Mongo, and more are on the horizon)

* Do some basic sysadmin-type work, including working with Linux, EC2, Docker

If you don't know all of these, (or even if you do!), show us that you can learn quickly. Or even show us what we can use that's better!

Send us an email at work@idealspot.com if you're interested. Feel free to include any past work you can show us, such as a GitHub profile.
She is now, so the honorific is called for when people refer to her now.

Before running for office, she was a major contributor to the ideas in Dodd-Frank, and many of those meetings took place out of the public eye and before the public debate on the bill.

This is not to criticize that particular bill (or the ACA) or her role in drafting it. Just making the point that negotiating and drafting policy behind closed door is a totally standard and unremarkable first step in the process.
US time zones (1857)
That high capital investment is what makes arcades ideal. Even if they're only "cutting edge" for 18 months, even the previous generation of that hardware will still be outside of the range of most consumers.
The borrowers were greedy, so they hired sharpers to help them borrow money they knew they couldn't repay.

The lenders were greedy, so they looked the other way and hoped their high-risk bets would pay off before things went south.

Deceit isn't really relevant here. The lenders consisted of hedge funds, major banks, large pension funds, and other financial entities. We're not talking about retail investors here, but people who had plenty of experience in sniffing out this kind of fraud. The bottom line is that they didn't bother: they looked at the eurozone membership and bloated ratings and pulled the trigger for an extra few basis points. After that went to hell, the official-sector lenders, who employ endless ranks of PhDs and ex-bankers to help them set policy and make financing decisions, stepped in and lent the Greeks even more money on ultra-sweetheart terms. Now that money is not going to be repaid, either. Who would have expected that outcome? Oh, right... everyone.

Really, at what point are we supposed to feel sorry for any of these people? I can't. With the exception of whatever tiny number of Greek citizens have steadfastly and publicly refused to support their government's choices, not only today but dating back to the go-go 2000s, every single player in this pathetic drama has gotten what they deserve. You can try to make this into some BS class-warfare thing, you can try to make it about left-right or broken EU politics or any number of other things, but what it really boils down to is persistent, pernicious greed coupled with persistent stupidity of spectacular magnitude. There's nothing else here, nothing to debate or cast aspersions over. Just greed and stupidity. Don't try to make it about anything else.
French banks lent much more heavily to Greece than german banks. So it was really a bailout of french banks.
TSA tweets a pic of the money they steal
Your reference to 'more than 1 file' resonates with me. One thing C# gets wonderfully right is its approach to spreading code across multiple files. No dogmatic insistence on one class per file like Java; no file-level dependency-graph import/export nonsense; no compile order dependencies; with partial classes I can split code up logically across files if I need to. I can start off and build multiple classes all in one file to get my initial framework and patterns together, then I can refactor those classes out into their own files over time.
In fact, they tracked prices for Feb 1-10, and the Super Bowl is Feb 7. The week before the Super Bowl is the dog-and-pony show. Whether or not people are actually going to fill up SF hotels for an event 40 miles south (vs staying in San Jose or elsewhere), the hotels are likely setting their rates high now. They can also expect to lower them later (during football season, say, as it becomes clearer which teams are likely to attend) if they can't sell them earlier. Basically, they have no idea how much to charge or how much demand they'll see, since they have no experience with this event, so the pricing is going to be set too high to preserve their option to lower them later.

So the survey and results are pretty much meaningless.
How does one write an article which summarizes the process of building a machine learning model, and not discuss cross validation? Not a very good article, to be honest.

I think the experiences at an arcade have to be ones you can't get at home for it to be compelling enough to come back. You said it yourself: it probably was just a PC with MAME running. You can do that at home. What I can't do at home is sit on a stool with a bunch of flashing lights and Howie Mandel asking me to pick a suitcase. And perhaps have people cheer me on.

I think the same will go for VR arcades. It's gotta be more than a bunch of PCs running software. It's more about the experience.
That’s not true; YAML is completely seperate.
Quantum query complexity: the other shoe drops
Too funny. I work with a lot of clients who get hung up on finding the perfect name before they can get going on their project. My advice is to come up with a "working name" you can live with — don't over think it, you can always change it later. Names you think are stupid at first often mature in your mind as you're working on the product...you'd be surprised how often a working name grows on a client and becomes the name of the product.

The people are really great here, I'm female and it's one of the most healthy/safe environments I've ever even heard people talking about.
There's no needing to prove, if you're here, you belong to be here. So go do things we both know you're qualified for.

>The judgement is setting a precedent in defining an API by its routes and not by what or how it processes data.

More generally, the ruling is bad because patents are supposed to be for an implementation, not an interface. For how you accomplished something, not the accomplishment. For a combustion engine, not "being able to get into a box and exiting at your destination in a short time".

Every outrageous parent grant seems to have this attribute: the problem with one-click is how the patent covered "everything that accomplishes one-click", not "our particular solution for getting one-click to happen".

Here, they're patenting the accomplishment of "making this call get this result", not "how we managed to get that response to that call".
That is 6 years old. Some of the comments describe how matplotlib was only just then getting 3D support. Matplotlib has of course had a lot of development since then.

Also, the tools do not stand alone. The integration between pandas, matplotlib, and ipython is much greater than using gnuplot instead of matplotlib for the same situation.

Even if matplotlib doesn't handle a specific task (http://glowingpython.blogspot.com/2012/10/visualizing-correl... shows an example of plotting a correlation matrix, and one of the commenters points to http://wiki.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/HintonDiagrams ; "Hinton diagrams are a way of visualizing numerical values in a matrix/vector, popular in the neural networks and machine learning literature"), it's important to evaluate how hard is it to add that task to have the advantage of being on the well-trodden paths of Python tools.
> In essence the idea is a good one - set out worldwide standards of trade - like WTO - for intellectual goods as well as physical.

You must play our game of pretend scarcity of information or face trade sanctions? Sounds like fun.

I am incredibly glad to know this has not happened yet, because it can easily be the death of innovation. IP, being a completely artificial market that can only exist through state power, has been abused so much and so often (be it software patents or Oracle v. Google or how the damn happy birthday song or Martin Luther Kings "I Have a Dream" recording is still copyrighted) and I have no doubts that any global IP regime would see the rise of a generation of IP lawyers and the death of a generation of ingenuity in intellectual pursuits.

That is how a lot of these countries can get ahead. China's ability to outright ignore US IP law means it can rapidly innovate on foreign or domestic ideas without having to be constrained by what US companies allow.

According to those conspiracy theorists I mention? Some things that they attribute to NWO and therefore want to fight against are: GMOs, vaccines, (moving away from fossil fuels to) nuclear energy, carbon tax, unified global government. Implementation may be tricky, but if you skip the accusations that They want to depopulate the world using above means, it seems like a bunch of pretty decent ideas for the future.

You have to go to the curb to smoke in some cities now (I've seen it in the Bay, don't know the specifics).

While I don't disagree re: property destruction, they'll make you pay for any damage anyway, so it would probably make more sense as a choice. "$2000 carpet replacement + cleaning + re-painting fee for smoking in this apartment" would surely dissuade some, but if it was the actual cost of labor + materials to restore the apartment to pre-smoking conditions (including smell), I think that's reasonable. Having pets, they sure do make you pay for any bit of messed up carpet, so as long as it's not leaking through the floors / into the hallways / billowing out the windows, why not give people the choice to pay for what they're messing up instead of outright banning it?

Here's how you want to do it: "I love my job here, but I keep getting calls from people offering me 90-100K. I don't want to leave, can you help?"

The important points:

- make sure the amounts you quote are realistic.

- do not hint that you are thinking of leaving. You are not.

This is the clearest way I know to point out what your market value is, without burning any bridges.

Ideally, you'd want this to be a true story: have anyone hinted to you that they'd like to hire you for more?

> The FBI and other federal agents can arrest anyone in any state where pot is legal statewide under federal law. You just get out of having local PD arresting you for it.

Not necessarily, as state (including) local agents can generally arrest you for violations of federal criminal law, too.

States, or local authorities within states, may deprioritize such arrests, or prohibit their officers from them entirely, for certain acts that are permitted by state but not federal law, but this is by no means guaranteed (and many local law enforcement agencies have continued to at least selectively make arrests under federal drug laws for marijuana even when the act involved was permitted under state law.)
You very clearly haven't actually listened to that presentation. I recommend that you do.
I didn't have an account before. For some reason, misinformation about campaign finance triggers me to speak up and try to correct it.
I think the parent meant 10% GDP growth in the other (non-U.S.) countries.
Correct. YAML and JSON can be parsed into the same tree structure but are completely separate syntaxes.
I think some folks are forgetting the benefits of an arcade that go beyond the games themselves. There's an establishment near me called Arkadia Retrocade[1] that's doing fairly well attracting customers by setting a flat entrance fee with no charge at the machines. They have great atmosphere and are a popular hangout for gamers of all ages. I've seen some people pay to get in the door while barely touching the arcade machines.

They are an investment bank and they manage investments for clients. Clients typically being large corporations but also HNWIs.
Of course. I'm not saying it isn't possible to have a profitable marketing campaign despite fraudor limit your losses (just starts to cost more since some industries are more impacted than others). I'm just pointing out that it's inherently a fraudulent/sketchy industry and therefore very subject to potential disruption.
800 plays just to break even. It would have to average over 4 plays per day for 6 months to to cover the (likely a low estimate) $200 cost.

Why would I play a MAME cabinet for $0.25 when I could do it at home for nothing? How many people actually even play a MAME game any where on any given day? They probably barely collected enough quarters to pay for the electricity to power the machine.
That's John Paulson, not Hank Paulson. I don't actually have much of a problem with John. He was never hired by Congress and the President for the benefit of the American public, so he never had a chance to abuse such a position to line his own pockets and those of his cronies.
Very smart to avoid Asterisk, FreeSWITCH and SIP in general for a security oriented program. SIP is moronically complex. As an illustration, the spec talks about using SIP to setup chess games, non-ironically. Like, that's how super-duper-abstract the SIP authors thought they were being. Of course, it's a bit strange to then explain why a mandatory header is "Call-ID", but hey, this is the IETF...

Also, all the major SIP platforms are thousands of lines of C or C++ just to parse this fucked up format. One particular popular project has almost 1M lines of C in its repo. And not a single CVE issued. Anyone taking bets on if it's more likely that there's never been an issue, or if we just don't notice? I mean, with switch statements spanning 1000+ lines, we can be sure it's top quality everywhere, right? One popular system allowed you to put shell commands in SIP headers, and it'd just go and execute them, due to ... creative[1] ... escaping and evaluation rules.

Not to mention that on every SIP network I've tested, even simple, trivial, things like IP-based auth don't actually work. It's mind-boggling. It's just that there's even lower-hanging fruit so no one bothers with remotely fun attacks.

In my build scripts, I like to have this added, so I can see what commit was used in building the binary:

Apathy may be something that grows with time as well. It seems to me (though I don't have much evidence to back it up so I welcome being shown I'm wrong) that a lifespan of a functioning democracy is ~100 years. The people who shed blood for it care. Their children are taught to care as well. But the grand-grand-children, born into a working system, don't have any context of how it was before that would give them motivation to care and perform required maintenance. And then, the system starts to degrade.
Your comment seems to conflate 'our', 'us' and 'we' with the drug companies themselves. There should be more to such negotiations than just whatever is in the (self)interest of US-based drug companies.

That all this seems to be happening behind closed doors doesn't inspire confidence.
Could be, though the swap in question doesn't sound especially exotic. Would it count as a liability under GAAP?

No, they aren't. From the YAML site [emphasis mine]:

"YAML can therefore be viewed as a natural superset of JSON, offering improved human readability and a more complete information model. This is also the case in practice; every JSON file is also a valid YAML file."

http://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2759572

You can parse any JSON file using a YAML parser.
