First Look Media is a new-model media company devoted to supporting independent voices, from fearless investigative journalism and documentary filmmaking to smart, provocative entertainment. We are currently in market with flagship properties, The Intercept, Field of Vision, and the recently launched Topic SVOD (video subscription) service. We plan to continue expanding our mission of supporting independent voices via a variety of new brands, formats and platforms as well as through foundational technology helping creators and audiences develop, distribute, discover and connect with meaningful stories.
We're hiring a senior engineer to round out our team with strong API as well as
devops or ETL skills. Someone who enjoys a dynamic environment with changing pri
orities and a wide variety of services to build.
Today, I will leave behind the digital world that changed me from human to robot, I will begin building a tiny home and I will commemorate almost getting down to this honest days work by blogging about my new-experience-to-be working the soil.
Is there an Image comics to Etsy's Marvel/DC? Curious if there's a place that re-captures the soul of indie crafts? Or if the successful crafters simply open up their own store and etsy remains the primary place for people to become successful crafters.
I wonder if Pinterest could jump in here? I would imagine they have quite a similar audience demographic, and I'm sure people would quite like being able to buy nice stuff they see pinned.
Do you honestly shop at only places w/ NFC readers? Do you not eat at restaurants? Do you not take cash out at ATMs? I mean - sure Apple Pay is slicker and maybe more secure - but I can not imagine anyone now ditching plastic to go 100% Apple Pay, Google Wallet, whatever.
I like it when internet folk comment about current technology as legacy because some tiny fraction of its market now uses something new and shiny.
With the prospect of fraud liability in the US shifting to the merchants starting next fall, many merchants will be swapping in terminals that are EMV compliant. I suspect many of these merchants will go for a terminal that also has NFC.
I'm not paying $50-150, and futzing with some idiosyncratic offering of a small company, just to maintain magstripe-compatibility when magstripes are rapidly on the way out. Carrying a couple fallback magstripe cards for the last days of magstripes isn't a big hassle.
Carrying tons of magstripe cards when there were no other options – 5-10 years ago – is the only problem these seem to solve.
Note. Shipping notice does not actually imply actually shipping, as I just discovered from their customer service agent. It just means they've created a shipping label for you and some time in the future (exactly when he didn't know) it will be used to ship you your coin.
Does everyone kvetching about Apple's product line realize that they have many different product lines? And that there are only 2 iPads (which only people on HN refer to with a generation number, Apple just calls them the iPad Mini and iPad Air).
Steve jobs came back and simplified their desktop and laptop lineup from each having like 10 models to each having 2 or 3 clearly defined models. As they add phones, tablets and watches should each have only 1 model so that the absolute number of models in all of Apple's businesses stay constant?
After trying to figure out if he was actually going to back up his argument anywhere - at some point I realized he was essentially saying that Uber is not different than Pets.com and stopped caring about the article.
Am I expected to watch 15 minutes of videos in order to understand how and what to email Dan? It's an interesting choice - in the context of efficiency and saving time - to decide to put in videos (and some >3 minutes) to watch in the FAQ.
While I appreciate that a lot of email is a problem for many people - solutions need to be aware of the preciousness of everyone's time not just yours (the recipient's).
