Axon (part of Taser International) | Seattle | Local - relo available

We're leading the charge in developing body cameras and other wearable computing devices for law enforcement. We have opportunities in backend, frontend, embedded systems, and other areas I can't talk about publicly.

Here's a good writeup from Bloomberg on what we're up to: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-12/will-a-cam...

Love iTerm. If you guys ever integrated with 1Password I would be in heaven!

What are you using for service discovery and registration? I took a quick look through the docs but didn't see this mentioned.

Do users attempting to call each other have to be on the same switch? Or do you route data explicitly from one switch to another?

Interesting to note they released these back in July of last year.

During the compaction phase, when a new temp db is installed while the old is being compacted, isn't there a window where messages in the old temp db are not searchable?

How tested is the websocket support? Does facebook use this for TLS termination?

Evidence.com - Seattle

At Evidence.com we build technology for law enforcement that is dramatically changing the way police agencies operate. We created the Axon wearable camera system, and its accompanying cloud service Evidence.com, to record video from an officer's perspective and document exactly what occurred during each interaction with the public. We're already managing petabytes of digital evidence for law enforcement agencies, but there is an opportunity to have a much bigger impact on law enforcement with technology. Everything from wearable biometric devices, to predictive policing with big data, to better mobile devices and software for officers to use in the field.

Our tight-knit software team is based in Seattle, and is made up of engineers with a variety of backgrounds at companies like Facebook, Microsoft, and small startups.

I'm an engineer at Evidence.com (a subsidiary of Taser) which makes the cameras (and accompanying software) used in this study. If you have interest in working on technology that makes both the public and officers safer, get in touch (see my profile)! We're based in Seattle and hiring in lots of areas: mobile engineers, web engineers, UX designers, etc.

When you restore a backup using this method is the drive bootable?

Ask it "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck ... " and prepare to laugh.

That makes sense. Just wanted to clarify that you weren't able to measure your organic app store pageview -> install conversion. I thought I had missed some hidden feature in iTunes connect, which is definitely possible.

How are you measuring the app store pageview -> install step?

I would think it's the caes that a "next page" link reduces engagement (some users will bounce before hitting next page). This implies less ad impressions. Facebook is not optimizing for the same things you are.

Makes sense, thanks! Didn't realize they provided mutual friends.

Great service, did a great job on my list of friends. I would love to use this, but having to send over user access tokens is a little scary, even over HTTPS. Have you guys considered licensing this? Would be cool as a heroku plugin...

Can you give more info on how you are clustering friends? AFAIK Facebook doesn't allow you to fetch friends of friends, so curious how you're finding overlapping connections.

I don't think you're familiar with how Multi AZ RDS works: http://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/#36

The whole point is to protect you from problems in one AZ by keeping a hot standby in another AZ. It doesn't matter whether it's due to EBS, power, etc. This is one of the primary reason to use RDS instead of running MySQL yourself on an instance.

Multi-AZ RDS deployment is supposed to protect you from that though. That's why it's 2x the price. We should have failed over to a different AZ w/o EBS issues.

No, nothing unusual with our standby replica. It's not even clear if it was the standby or our primary that was in the affected AZ.

Multi-AZ RDS does synchronous replication to the standby instance -- I'm guessing something broke in there. Hopefully AWS will update with a post mortem as they usually do. Lots of frustrated MultiAZ RDS customers on their forums.

Worst part of this outage: paying for a multi-az RDS instance and having failover totally, completely, fail.

From their acquisition FAQ: "We’ll give you ample notice before any changes to the service and we’ll share clear instructions about how to move your content to other services. In the meantime, your Spaces will remain up and running without disruption."

Sounds like posterous is not long for this world. This is a bummer, I really like posterous.

To be honest, the default behavior of silently resetting the session and not throwing seems wrong to me. It's reasonable to only store user auth information in a cookie, so resetting the session doesn't have the intended effect of logging out the user.
