Moat is an adtech startup with products in two core areas:

1) Analytics

Moat Analytics measures content and advertisements for many of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. Most new ad deals require third party measurement and for many of the top brands and websites, Moat's metrics are the go-to. We were one of the first companies to begin measuring ad viewability and we helped make these metrics a standard in the online ad industry. We handle over 19 billion impressions a day and tackle large scalability problems every day.

2) Search

Moat Search tells you who's advertising where online. We give advertisers, publishers and other adtech companies an overview of the entire online ad ecosystem (kind of like the Bloomberg of the ad world). Our customers can see their competitors' ad campaigns, find prospects by seeing the clients of similar companies or see trends in the industry before anyone else. We have a free product, moat.com and a premium product, Moat Pro.

We recently raised $50M and we're still growing very quickly:

Both technical and non-technical openings can be found at http://moat.com/jobs. Among other things, we're looking for frontend/backend/fullstack engineers, devops engineers, and security engineers.

The interview process involves a short coding assignment, 1-2 phone interviews and onsite.

Can anyone name a company that raised significant money pre-launch in a party round and that turned out okay?

Color, Clinkle, Theranos, Magic Leap... they all have that in common. I'd be interested if there are counter examples.

Great read. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe true at Stanford or a top school?

How to get around the WSJ paywall:

- Copy the URL

- Paste the URL into the Facebook textbox where you would create a post

- Click on the preview, so the referrer url is Facebook

Could probably make a Chrome extension for this...

"Peredo spent 18 months looking for work before he took off his bow tie and landed a job."

It's hard to identify causality here. You could say that there's a correlation with casual attire and job offers in the valley. Alternatively, he got better in those 18 months...

Absolutely 100% agree. Carlin, doesn't describe himself as a historian, but he is an amazing story teller.

I'm finishing the last episode right now. Among the topics he covered so far:

- The murder of Franz Ferdinand and the mentality of the Serbian assassins. Carlin has a way of explaining how terribly coincidental everything was: the first assassin failing, the couple escaping and complaining at the police station about their treatment, the driver taking the wrong turn out of the city, the car backfiring near where a second assassin happened to be standing...

- Carlin does a great job explaining the new German nationalism and the status quo before the war. He explains how carefully Bismarck made a web of diplomatic relations to protect Germany against a two-front war that his successors immediately tore down.

- Stories of German efficiency in the initial invasion of Belgium and the exact moments when people realized that this was a different type of war. The French were still wearing white gloves and the Germans issued everyone gray khakis.

- Descriptions of how naval warfare was changing and how most battleships, even those made just ten years ago, became obsolete. One great story is how the British original planned to use these now obsolete ships against the Turks in Gallipolli but the admirals were too hesitant to move quickly and risk the ships because they had an emotional connection to them! Most of those admirals served as junior officers on those ships!

- How unspeakably terrible Verdun, the Somme, the Marne and Ypres were. Ypres, for example, Carlingoes into detail about men falling off of duckboards and drowning in the mud. Most of the time, the mud was so thick and the equipment so heavy that their platoon members couldn't help them or they'd risk drowning themselves. So they'd stay up at night, hearing the survivors slowly sink...

There's so many other stories I can't remember. It's a 24 hour series. Can't recommend it enough.

Would be nice to apply this to gerrymandered congressional districts.

How does this compare to PipelineDB? I'm pretty sure the cofounders of Pipeline are ex-AdRollers, so there should be a lot of overlap since it was made with the same problem in mind.

I'm not a libertarian, but I'd consider libertarianism pretty opposite to fascism.

I hope someone submits a voice recognition data!

It's fantastically hard to find audio->phoneme datasets and only slightly less difficult to find audio->word and word->possible_phonemes...

You're describing the process of actually delivering - that's currently UPS/FedEx, etc. They will certainly struggle with Amazon in the near future (and maybe Google). Shipping will always be owned by the big guys because it's a tough, expensive problem.

But ecommerce? That will always be open to smaller players because the start-up cost is low (you develop a way to sell it and give it to a shipping service).

This is surprising to me. It seems that many prominent Googlers are very optimistic about robotics.

For example, in the FAQ of Jeff Dean's recent talk in Seoul, he mentioned how Deep Learning has a lot of potential to reinvent the field of robotics. Also, Demis Hassabis recently tweeted about progress in learning 3-D environments. I'd be surprised if Google wasn't looking into general purpose robotics...

Perhaps Google is disappointed in their robotics acquisitions and wants to start from scratch? It seems that they are farther on the software front than anyone at the point. I wonder what they'll do in their hardware/power divisions...

(Also, it kind of seems like Tesla and Google are on a crash course here. Tesla is ahead in power/hardware and is developing a top-tier AI team for self-driving cars. Elon also seems very interested in Robotics + AI. Google seems to be working from the opposite end.)

I was skeptical at first, but this is really cool:

> In Cycle.js you can omit the props object. Since props are always an object and children are always an array, it’s obvious which parameter is what:

    ul([
        li('Foo'),
        li('Bar'),
    ])

That's a lot cleaner than JSX. Kudos.

Sorry, I think you're mistaken.

Empathy is understanding and feeling someone else's feelings. Putting yourself in their shoes.

Sympathy is having compassion for that person, even if you don't feel the same way. It's understanding, but more detached.

True, you need empathy to make art or to manipulate people or to frighten others - but that's not part of the definition of the word.

Copy and paste this bookmarlet into your toolbar: javascript:location.href='https://www.google.com/webhp?#q=' + encodeURIComponent(location.href) + '&btnI=I'

Basically, it allows you to go to a site as if you came from Google. This avoids most paywalls.

I think this is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

If there's one thing I know about "Show HN", it's that the community doesn't hold back on its criticism.

I think attempted crimes should get the same sentence as successful crimes.

Imagine two people stabbed identical twins in the same spot with the same intent at the same time. One dies, one lives. Should they get different sentences? It's just a roll of the dice.
