Profits drive competition and competition discourages stasis. So it is necessary? Probably not. But we probably get a better result with it being outside of academia.

Why do you say they don't work? The videos seem impressive.

Their corporate debt also got downgraded to B3 by Moody's today.

Completion of DUC wells doesn't have much if anything to do with predicting or waiting for a particular price, as most E&P companies are all hedged on a yearly basis. It's more about the manpower/equipment needed to frack, which is currently in short supply.

I can't speak for other companies but at Blue we are regulated by ITAR, which means candidates must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (current Green Card holder).

Absolutely, we pay for travel expenses to come interview with us.

We don't have remote software engineers currently (maybe in the future).

The web development that happens is typically for:

* Systems that analyze flight or test data

* Systems that enable manufacturing, supply chain, or other supporting business activities

* Systems that are considered to be "customer experience" related

* Infrastructure systems that support the other software engineering teams

Our hiring process is straightforward. The dev teams review resumes for a fit based on experience and skillset. Next comes a phone screen where we'll ask a series of basic programming questions. If you're in the Seattle area we skip the phone screen and invite you in for a tour and ask you the same questions in-person. Next we do a full interview, which occurs on-site at our headquarters and typically lasts most of the day. You'll interview with multiple software engineers from different teams. The questions you get asked will be deeply technical and are usually real world problems we have had to solve.

You can come work for us at Blue Origin! My team members do a lot of web development and we're recruiting heavily right now. We hire everyone as Software Engineers, but there are a variety of specializations people come in with and focus on -- web development included.

It's far from unstoppable. They might have market share in the US because of their first mover advantage, but they ceded to Didi in China and to Yandex in Russia.

Bill Gates doesn't give a single thought to accounting overhead or tracking things for income tax purposes. He has a team of people whose job it is to do that.

I'm sure having a McDonald's Gold Card helps: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2015/nov/...

I'm not sure how splitting up the NSA fixes anything. Wouldn't the new offensive organization still be compelled to seek out zero-day exploits as well for their mission? What happens when they find one that the defensive organization hasn't found yet?

It is rapidly getting worse. It doesn't help that many cities are shipping their homeless people to Seattle. Literally buying them bus tickets.

EC2 was only in limited beta back in 2006. It wasn't in full production until 2008.

This isn't a "who is hiring?" thread obviously, but if anyone wants to be a part of our team we are always looking for folks who share our passion for space, especially those who happen to build software too!

Needless to say, there are tons of interesting problems to solve and opportunities to make a huge impact.

I love wpull!

I'm actually considering using it for a large upcoming project but unfortunately there are some pretty significant bugs in their backlog. wget seems to be a bit more battle hardened.

Maybe in certain countries, but the big picture is that worldwide barrels/per/day consumption is continuing to increase:

2014: 92,086,000

2013: 91,243,000

2012: 89,846,000

2011: 88,974,000

2010: 87,864,000

Almost all that increase in consumption is attributable to Asia. Any downturn in the curve will be attributable to the economy of China slowing, not renewables taking the place of oil.

I don't disagree that the consumption of renewables is growing rapidly, but that doesn't mean they're making a dent in oil consumption. They may down the road at some point, but right now they're a spit in the ocean.

Why do you hate VM's so much? Usability? Or is there some technical reason?

We are hiring C++ folks, but applicants for any position (not just software) must be a US Citizen or permanent resident alien.

I lead the software team at Blue Origin, come check us out. We're right outside Seattle.

Bank of America has this too for their cards, it's called ShopSafe.

I generate the report as a normal HTML page and then render/export it using PhantomJS. Easiest solution I've found so far and I've done quite a bit of exploring.

Your claims seem inconsistent across the site. On the page you linked to it says "Payment can be made monthly, but a two year contract is required." but then on the CEO page, it says "There are no contracts, overages, fees, or license charges at rsync.net." -- so am I missing something?

I'm sure they have an app for that. Maybe more than one.

There will be significant launch insurance contracts written to protect the company against such a scenario.

Software Engineers

Blue Origin is developing technologies to enable private human access to space at dramatically lower cost and increased reliability. We have multiple openings for software engineers across various teams. In particular, we're looking for people with Java experience and an interest in working on all levels of the development stack. You'll get to work on green-field projects and use some of the latest technologies. Experience working with Graph or Non-Relational databases is a plus. So is front-end development experience using Angular, Ember, etc.

To be clear, we're looking for people from all backgrounds. You don't necessarily need to come from aerospace but you must be passionate about it!

We have many interesting problems to work on, directly or indirectly related to building/flying spacecraft. We're also growing rapidly, so even if you aren't an exact match, we'd love to hear from you. We also have many unlisted openings we're recruiting for as well.

Will it? As much as I disagree w/ this ruling, grabbing data isn't isolated to the US government. Don't you also have to be concerned that those countries may subpoena the VPS provider?
