Spotify vs netflix

- People very very infrequently watch the same movie/tv show twice.

- People very very frequently listen to the same song

therefore

- The past is important for songs since at any point in time there are more songs in the past that you want to listen than new songs that have been just released

- The future is more important for movies since you are looking fwd to watching something new

therefore

Netflix >>> Spotify

Quartzy | Palo Alto, CA | http://quartzy.com | Full-time | Onsite

Quartzy's marketplace team builds systems to help find our users the best price possible for materials they use every day in their labs. We’re on a quest for an extraordinary application engineer who will join us to help grow and improve our marketplace applications.

You are a self-starter with a bias for action, and you can take projects from start to finish. You want to work as part of a small, tightly-knit team that moves quickly and pushes changes to production many times a day. You always admired your friends in science, but your knack for computers led you to programming.

Quartzy is a global two-sided marketplace for the life sciences. Our platform helps labs order scientific supplies ranging from beakers to capital equipment; we make life easier and save money for scientists and lab managers in academia and at pharma and biotech companies. We give the software away for free and earn revenue when labs buy their supplies from us. With over 200,000 scientists from all over the world relying on Quartzy, we help accelerate the pace of scientific discovery, and we need your help to accelerate our own pace as well.

What we're looking for: - You have three or more years of experience writing clean, thoughtfully crafted PHP that scales. - You have experience with other parts of our technology stack: MySQL, Redis, Beanstalkd, RabbitMQ, nginx, Git. - You have the ability and desire to own projects that directly impact Quartzy's bottom line. - You are a strong communicator. You write well and can easily explain complex technical concepts to non-technical people.

Does that sound like you? We'd love to hear from you -- go here to read the whole job description and apply: http://grnh.se/7nl1uo

So I tried it and here is the upside compared to takeout:

- It tastes better. There IS a dramatic difference in the taste when something is served hot straight from the pan as opposed to something that had been cooked 45 minutes ago and has been winding its way towards you in a brown bag

- You can control ingredients like butter/oil/spice etc. You can add/remove and customize it to your taste.

- It is fun. You can cook something tasty and unique and interesting and learn how to cook new dishes.

I tried the Shrimp Scampi kit and it was incredibly easy to cook something that was tasty and interesting at home.

The best part was that the shrimp was pre-cooked so I could get it all the way there in just a few minutes. The fact that I control the butter/oil/salt is a big plus over takeout.

I sent in the "I am including a link to zipped file which has a bunch of files. The files are pdfs and images of business cards with corresponding contact information. Please transcribe them: first and last name, title, address, email, and phone number" request.

Premier did an awesome job. Quick, accurate, and affordable. The best part was that I just submitted the request by email and got results back by email instead of having to spend time figuring out another web interface!
