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.

I think they'd run out of business cards, if I remember correctly. And we were getting kind of drunk by then so I don't remember their app either :) sorry!

Speaking of, I think I'm speaking at CUSEC this year I sure hope you're speaking given that they just today announced it on the website http://2010.cusec.net/11-20/thomas-ptacek-security-researche... =) All the advice I can give you is be honest and be yourself. CUSEC has always been very informal compared to most other conferences, more of a discussion between students and people they respect more than anything else…

I figured the room might be a bit too generalist to want to hear 40-50 minutes of crypto flaws, and so I was thinking about wrapping the crypto stuff up in a talk that made a technical case in favor of DRM. If people tell me real-world crypto is going to keep people in their seats, though, I'm totally down for that; it's a much easier talk.

I'd love to hear the tech case in favor of DRM, but then I'd also love to hear 50 mins of crypto flaws. Sounds like it'll be a great talk either way!

I am looking for opportunities solving natural language processing, machine learning, and data mining problems. I specialize in large data sets. One decade of experience. Contract or full time. [edit: Do we want a separate thread for job seekers to post their specialities?]

check two posts up for NLP :)

Webs.com is looking for a front-end developer. Strong HTML/CSS/JS skills, located in Silver Spring Maryland. Right on a Metro line, we're essentially at the DC border. Position is in-office, no telecommuting options. :( Anyone interested can email me directly (ryan [at] webs (dot) com), or hit me up on Twitter (@ryanmcgrath).

Hey! Interesting to see you here. :) You came to my school recently, I believe. I talked to you about the Starcraft AI internship, and such? (Unless that was someone else from Webs.com. I'm afraid I forgot your names!) Small world.

Haha, no, that wasn't me, but some coworkers of mine. Awesome people - they work in the more backend side of things, whereas I work on the UI side of things.

Good stuff all around. ;D

Naughty Dog is hiring ( http://www.naughtydog.com/ ). Our jobs section isn't listing the positions, but we are hiring programmers, designers, and artists. Email: jobs@naughtydog.com

Off-topic but I just want to give kudos on Uncharted 2. People talk about the Xbox360 and PS3 as the next generation of video game consoles; I think Uncharted 2 is the first real next generation video game. It's truly amazing. Congrats and Thanks!

I second that...I am completely addicted to it.
