Here in Padova, the flowers are blooming, everything is breaking out in green, it is 25C, and I went for a drink in the piazza with nothing but a short-sleeved shirt this evening. Yellowknife like a fascinating place, but one I'd rather read about or, at most, visit, rather than live in. Good luck though:-)

Thanks! For sure, the weather isn't for everyone. We /do/ get great summer weather (it'll be over 20C before the end of May), but it's a short season. Padova sounds gorgeous! (Just a Manly-Man-o'-the-North note: I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt today. We bust out the summer clothes at anything above 5C.) :)

I could stand the cold, but the winter darkness would get me. Or do you adapt fast?

Wow, that's really remote. To drive there, you apparently have to take a fairly small ferry boat: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&#38... Looks like they're building a bridge, though. By "not as cold as you think", you mean that the spit hits the ground before it freezes?

Wow, I'm surprised street view has such a remote location. That begs the question where is the most remote street view location.

Probably either northern Alaska, or maybe somewhere in Australia.

This is pretty epic looking, isn't it:

Security Innovation in Seattle, WA is hiring.

We're a Software Security Company looking for great Security Engineers. I'm the Director of Security Services at Security Innovation, so if you have any questions e-mail me at jobs@securityinnovation.com

Here's a link to the formal job description: http://securityinnovation.com/company/careers/job-security-e...

Here's our "informal" job description: Are you passionate about software security? Do you look at MD5 and RC2 with disgust? Do you find yourself reciting hexadecimal often... in little endian order? Do you find security issues everywhere you look? Do you often wonder how software security can be so broken, and why more people don't understand how SQLi, XSS, and CSRF work? Do you smile uncontrollably when you see 0x41414141 on the stack? Would you rather stay up all night, for 12 hours strait, writing a tool to automate a task than do something repetitive and boring for an hour?

If so, then I have great news for you - Security Innovation is hiring! We're looking for somebody who will fit in with our current team of extremely talented security engineers. We pay well, have great benefits, and provide a budget for annual security conferences. We have an awesome office downtown and get to travel occasionally. Enjoy the challenge of penetration testing n-Tier applications, crypto systems, and web apps from some of the largest software vendors in the world while enjoying the office lifestyle of a small, yet established, company.

If this sounds like the opportunity you have been searching for, then look no further, email us your resume today!

Our company, YCEO (a pseudo startup doing local ecommerce solutions), is hiring Python hackers. We're located in Kadikoy/Istanbul. Contact: u.karatas@yceo.com.tr

Awesome to see my city represented by others on HN. Just out of curiosity, what sort of gig do you guys do? Custom tailored solutions for clients etc?

Currently we're trying to come up with a generic ecommerce platform. Turkish market is underserved in this area, we think.

It took me some getting used to. I've been here 14 months now, and I did get a little lethargic at the beginning of the dark, dark winter months. And slightly manic in the all-sun summer light. But I adapted pretty quickly.

There seems to be a problem with your website in Firefox, the stylesheets aren't applied. It looks good in Chrome though.

Building things that people want is overrated. A person can derive great pleasure and satisfaction from ripping things apart instead. That's the gig we're offering. We work with some of the most interesting companies, along with lots of companies with interesting technology you've never heard of. This job has had me write compilers, learn Scala, reverse and interoperate with freaky network protocols, test chipsets, w…

I can vouch for this. I started at Matasano two months ago, and am very pleased to find seriously bright people and a really fun gig. As one of the Matasanoans said, it is curiosity that is important in this gig, not paranoia or certificates. I have always enjoyed drilling down to find out what makes something tick. Clients ask us to find vulnerabilities in their systems. The gigs involve burping web apps, pulling apart C# and Java programs, understanding C, machine language, or even firmware and hardware.

And the coding part is most often in ruby or jruby (and yes, I do try to sneak in a little clojure past Tom). You don't need to know Ruby coming in the door, but if you are a good programmer, you will pick up in no time.

Check us out.

(Ok, back to breaking things. But they tell me I should stop breaking tools in the black bag, though.)
