I thought the fox was on the riverbank with the grain.

I was interested until I saw that salary. Try £60,000 - £90,000 and you might find some decent CTOs.

Thanks for your feedback. We understand we may not be able to get a very experienced CTO. The 5% equity is very much negotiable and it depends on the experience. The application is fairly simple and does not require a very senior experienced developer. What level of salary would you consider as a minimum along with equity? We would still like to hear from you if you have any further feedback.

At that rate, expect about 30/40% equity

You'd also get Germaine Greer knocking on your door. I've been down this road before.. http://tomoconnor.eu/blogish/hell-hath-no-fury-man-discrimin...

Would be interesting to see someone with a bit of spare time and cash take this to court. I wonder what the ruling would be.

The lack of micro instance is a real shame. I suspect that's because the time taken to do a full chef install run on a micro might be vast.

I've used t1.micros extensively with chef -- it's not as bad as you might think.

I'm currently writing a blogpost about how to spawn up a simple Rails stack. I've got a broken instance in a boot-stop-terminate-boot loop. It's very beta.

I was hoping to do the same (albeit much easier to follow than their own walkthrough), but I'm going to sit back for a while and see what develops. These could be early teething problems, so I'm not going to judge them so soon.

That said, I'm surprised by what's not included in the main interface (VPC, ELB, to start with).

you hit the nail on the head (oppositely, I was surprised to see them deploy out HA Proxy by default). The lack of VPC makes this far less appealing. I've been working on a scaling capable VPC configuration with quite a few moving parts and got so giddy with excitement over the potential of OpsWorks, then I tested it out and realized it's nowhere near ready for prime time and is missing some major players.

Still...Props to them and am excited to see it mature.

Here's the article I wrote: http://tomoconnor.eu/blogish/how-i-broke-aws-opsworks/

This is a bit of a grey area that we deliberately avoided with PDFTribute.net; it seems perfectly acceptable to aggregate and index metadata, just as long as you're not actually storing any data.

"The chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one", he said.

It'd be interesting if that page listed jobs at partner organisations.. I'd love to be involved with a project like that, but it's difficult to get involved.

Honestly, have you tried simply contacting the project? That's how I got an internship on the Blue Brain Project a few years ago (and in fact have a cameo in the video).

I would suggest checking back after the summer, which is when the project should actually start.

Also note, "The HBP has allocated a large proportion of its funding to what we call Competitive Calls. The HBP Competitive Calls Programme will allow researchers from outside the HBP Consortium to propose research and applications development projects using the HBP platforms and to receive funding from the HBP. Proposals will be evaluated by peer reviewers from outside the Consortium. We expect to see many proposals for research and approaches that the current Consortium has never considered"

and

"From year 3 onwards the HBP will fund a large number of HBP Ph.D studentships and post-doctoral fellowships."

(my understanding is that these are in addition to any postdocs recruited by partner organizations using their individual funding for the project).

I don't think that's possible. Big|Fast|Cheap, Choose two. (or one, under some circumstances).

I think you misread the parent. jahewson asked for a machine that is Fast and Cheap and Not Big.

More specifically they want to upgrade a weaker machine with an SSD instead of getting a high end machine with an SSD.

We're working with the creator of edward.io to get some kind of integration between the two sites, and also working on a search/index/analysis tool for pdftribute.net
