#195Victus Media http://victusmedia.com is "hiring" interns, web developers, and software folks that are very cumfy with Ruby/Rails site infrastructure (note that our cool service is down at this second, shortening my lifespan with each moment ;).
We're a pre-company so any folks we decide to team up with at this point would be working for stake. You'd have to jive with me and the Lead Tech Tyler.

#197The Analytics Engineering team at LinkedIn is looking for engineers to work on Hadoop, Project Voldemort, and the A/B Platform: http://bit.ly/hadoop-linkedin
Hey Pete, what's the difference between Voldemort and HBase? Looks interesting.
Voldemort is a fully distributed, key/value store. The distribution model is Dynamo/eventual consistency (there are, however, tunable "knobs": you can choose how much of either consistency, availability and partition tolerance you want to give up in favour of the other two). The storage backends are pluggable, but most commonly used ones are BerkeleyDB and read-only (for data built off-line). Latency is low, throughput is high and there isn't a single point of failure. I am presently working full time on a feature that enables additional nodes (and thus capacity) to be added as a cluster is running (and serving live requests).
HBase is a BigTable style columnar style (with support for certain kinds of range queries: see the Google BigTable paper). The distribution model is strong consistency, the backing store is built on top of Hadoop's HDFS. Hadoop's name mode is the single central point / "special" node (although there's work being done by the Hadoop team on having multiple namenodes, afaik).
Cassandra takes yet another approach, mixing parts of Dynamo's consistency/distribution model with parts of BigTable's data model.
The two are different projects, solving different problems. I am a commiter to Voldemort, but I play with/like HBase and Cassandra as well. One size does not fit all :-)

#198Roost (downtown San Francisco) is hiring for a UI position. You get to work with sharp/funny/awesome people on sane projects, in a funded environment, in downtown San Francisco, while learning new things continuously and enjoying what you do, day after month after year. :) http://www.roost.com/web/jobs.action (jobs at roost dot com redirects to our CTO, hilariously, so include your most awesomest cover letter; bonus…
When you say "UI position" do you mean designer, front-end web developer, or user-experience expert?

#200Sofa is hiring coders (Obj-C/Obj-J/Python) or ui designers for fulltime positions in Amsterdam.
You guys do great work - we were just talking about you at the lean startup event last night with a team from Holland that's in town to interview at YC. I think there was some kind of friend-of-a-friend-married-a-sister type of connection :) As a designer, I loved visiting Amsterdam during my honeymoon last year - I felt like I was drowning in a sea of Helvetica. The ugliness of American road signs was an extremely h…
Thanks for the nice words. Any way I can reach that Dutch team? I'd love to find out more about them.
