Which is because of the horrible limitation of the speed of light, which we are constantly working to exceed ;)

Mountain View, CA. RethinkDB ( http://www.rethinkdb.com/jobs ). Hard systems problems. Fun people. Good pay. A chance to build something meaningful and own a significant chunk of the company. Tired of rails-based clones? Join us, together we will rule the [database] universe. This is everything we stand for: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1747713

from your license agreement ( http://www.rethinkdb.com/license.txt ) Prohibited activities include but are not limited to: -snip- * Selling support for products which incorporate RethinkDB. Can you really enforce this?

I doubt they could enforce a prohibition on companies providing support for RethinkDB; but I see no reason why they couldn't say "if you provide support for RethinkDB, you're not allowed to use our code", which is probably equivalent in practice.

Academia.edu is hiring engineers in San Francisco. Academia.edu helps academics follow the latest research in their field. Here are a few bullet points that sum up the atmosphere in our team: - obsession with exceptional engineering - obsession with building a great web product, and a great user experience - intellectually inquisitive - we like delving into ideas, whatever the ideas are about - fun and friendly - we…

How did you get a *.edu domain?

Most likely that they bought it (in 2007?) from someone that registered it before 29 Oct 2001.

From http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/eligibility.asp :

"Why do some institutions that do not meet the eligibility criteria have .edu domain names?

According to the Cooperative Agreement between EDUCAUSE and the U.S. Department of Commerce, all .edu names in existence as of October 29, 2001, are "grandfathered." This means that everyone who already had a .edu name by that date (October 29, 2001), regardless of current or past eligibility requirements, is allowed to keep those .edu names."

Whois info:

  Domain record activated:    10-May-1999
  Domain record last updated: 03-Sep-2007
  Domain expires:             31-Jul-2011

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Server engineer is very broad. Could be anywhere on the stack from front-end work with HTML/CSS/JS to very deep in the guts of our application code working on performance and scalability, or anywhere in between. Job description: http://foursquare.jobscore.com/jobs/foursquare/server-side-s... Operations engineer would be focused less on our application code and more on managing our EC2 infrastructure. Anywhere from im…

From what I can tell, you've melded a backend and frontend dev for the server engineer role. Thanks for your time, but you require a degree, so I'm out.

The title is melded. Your role is whatever your best fit is. We have "server engineers" that do frontend dev almost exclusively, others that do backend dev almost exclusively, and others that do a bit of both.

We've hired people without degrees, and we've hired people without 5+ years experience. If you're good, we'll bend the rules.
