I went the other way, started working at Twitter without knowing Scala and it wasn't hard. We also have great internal Scala classes. Feel free to email me for more info (see profile). We're just looking for smart people, you don&

Exactly. I'm a big Minecraft and FeedTheBeast(mod packs) fan. And the game keeps getting updated and mods get more and more complex.

H-1B is an employer sponsored visa, valid only for working on a specific job (though it's possible to transfer to a different employer) so it's getting a job first then getting a visa. Then your employer can sponsor your green card applicat

I never had issues with an Apple big screen but they replaced my 13" MBA for a single dead pixel. And the Apple Genius was very surprised as he never saw faults on those.

Add that OpenReach can take 3 weeks to install a landline, they give you a 6h time slot and the engineer is usually late or missing and there's nothing you can do. Where I live OpenReach (ADSL2) is the only option.

Some of them were big companies and one was 20 employees startup. I assure you they knew exactly what H1B is and they simple engaged with an immigration lawyer (see replies).

As a Foursquare user I agree too. Also I love Timehop and I'm glad I used Foursquare a year ago, it's nice to see where I've been.

Since it's a cache I don't think there's a big problem in losing a hdd and some cache capacity. I would expect it to be more efficient to use as much storage as possible even if a hdd will fail.

Unless you use SNI (which is only supported in some browsers) you have to have one IP per SSL host as the certificate is sent before decoding the request. ELB doesn't use that and must have 1 IP per hostname.
