Infosec builds cybersecurity education software (LMS for in-house content, as well as hands-on labs, etc.). We really like our mission of equipping the world to fight cybercrime, and we're building some really big, fun things.
Come join us if you love the pace, opportunity, and energy of a startup, but with the comfort and balance of a well-capitalized, bootstrapped, stable company.
We generally hire "full stack", but are certainly open to those who gravitate toward one end or the other stack. We are open to SRE types as well.
Feel free to contact me directly at [email protected] to learn more.
Using this event to think about what an asteroid hitting the ocean might be like is quite clever.
"The author suggested that with proper scale corrections, analogies could be drawn between the impulsive impact of the Lituya Bay rockfall to asteroid impact on ocean floor sediments and on such impulsive wave generation. Although, the trajectory angle, terminal velocity and total mass and density of material of an asteroid would be significantly different than those of the Lituya Bay rockfall, it was suggested that these could be scaled and adjusted for the purpose of validating a model of asteroid impact."
I remember the Heroku founders espoused 6 hour work days for developers. They felt that this was the daily limit for creative workers - and that there was not only diminishing returns after 6 hours, but potentially negative ones (due to bad decisions made when overworked).
I don't think he's saying that it will take a long time for them to turn a profit, but that they never will (or only ever will see the tiny profit margins that, say, the airline industry does).
A down year for music (though it unfortunately seems like I've been saying that for the last 4 years). I've listened to everything in the top 20 in the critical list, and the only albums I'll likely be listening to in 2017 and beyond are the Radiohead and Bon Iver entries. Certainly tracks here and there I loved from Beyonce, Kanye, Anderson .Paak, Chance, and Frank, etc, but none of the other albums have grabbed me yet from start to finish. (That can always change, of course!)
Loved The Social Network movie. But the movie's soundtrack (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) has had the greatest effect on my coding. Still listen to it while working almost every day. Maybe matched only by Sigur Ros's Takk as my favorite Getting Shit Done soundtrack.
DISCO is working on some extremely cool things at the intersection of engineering and law. From machine learning to big data to complex-yet-blazing-fast React-based SPAs, if it's a cliched buzzword we're probably working with it.
We're post-Series C and rocking and rolling. Drop me an email if you're seriously talented and seriously fit one of the roles below.
Have you tried writing a complex wep app/api with C#? It's an absolute joy to use. Python still has it beat for math and ML libraries, but for getting up a quick web app with robust (and easy) data queries (LINQ) it's pretty unbeatable.
Selling software to law firms. Father of a friend's wife had heard I was building the particular type of software his firm needed for a case. They purchased the software almost sight unseen. Sometimes you need a little luck with those first sales!
