Incidentally, if any hackers are looking for jobs working on an interesting problem, I know the Rethinks are hiring. It would be the perfect job for a lot of hackers. You'd get to solve big problems starting with a blank slate, and you'd get to work with smart, totally pragmatic people (Slava and Mike). Plus they now have enough to actually pay you.
- quickpost 17y agoNot to mention they are very transparent with their compensation and stock options (Scroll down - http://rethinkdb.com/jobs/ http://rethinkdb.com/jobs/). People who run their hiring process and business like that seem like very good people to work for indeed.
- wheaties 17y agoNot bad compensation for a start-up.
- rms 17y agoThat's really, really cool. I've never seen the stock options/equity listed on a hiring page before.
- reitzensteinm 17y agoAnd I love that it's a percentage, not, eg, 10k options.
- byrneseyeview 17y agoDo people actually quote the number of options without reference to a percentage or a stock price?
- cperciva 17y agoI would jump on this immediately if I was in the bay area and didn't already have my own startup. As it is, I'll have to satisfy my (data)base urges by writing my own high performance SSD-optimized key-value store.
- ntoshev 17y agoWow, are the metadata of Tarsnap that demanding?
- cperciva 17y agoTarsnap splits data into blocks of ~64 kB which are individually compressed and encrypted before being uploaded. I use S3 for back-end storage, but need to keep track of where I put each of the blocks. It's not that the metadata is demanding; it's just that there's a lot of it. For each $/month Tarsnap takes in, I have about 200,000 table entries.
