As a Snr Eng in one of the FAANG, my _personal_ list:

- interesting problem domain (which does not necessarily mean trendy): this is about selling to others why the problem and your company matters

- equity/career progression: (controversial comment incoming...) a strong Snr in a FAANG will most likely be a CTO/VP type of leader in a startup, so provide generous equity

- freedom in terms of decision making: present (business) problems and let people go and tackle them, you don't want to be micromanaging

- freedom in terms of work/life balance: let people manage their schedules, being fully remote, location independent - stuff that most FAANGs will struggle to compete with

Does anyone know how exactly is the Police integration done with Rekognition? I mean, they must have it integrated into their IT systems, right? Who did that integration? AWS itself? Or some consulting companies? Or the PD's Tech Department?

A few years ago I co-started http://www.bitcoinpulse.com. I had to take it down last year after running out of time to deal with it, but I've recently brought back a simplified version.

While the traffic is insignificant at the moment, I'd like to believe that the brand is still strong and a small push could revive the traffic.

The twitter account https://twitter.com/bitcoinpulse has a small following - there are a few known people from the bitcoin community (but the vast majority seem like "bot" accounts).

It's written in clojure/script and hosted on heroku.

I'll take offers in bitcoin (obviously). Any interested parties can email me at info@bitcoinpulse.com

personally, Dali's theater museum is my favorite museum in the whole world and definitely something to check if you are in barcelona/figueres

Not to mention that he had built several other things prior to starting Facebook.

There's also a lot of libs/services he can use

And if he needs help in understanding or implementing something, he can always ask for some help from someone @ FB...

I've been working on this since around the beginning of the year, still a lot of things missing, but might as well get some feedback since this "topic" has been getting a lot of attention (with BJ Novak's app and Fred's post and others): http://alpha.ohyeahlists.com/

as the url implies, it's still in alpha stage

not to mention that big companies also have in office gyms and classes (usually yoga)

and many mid-size startups also provide those perks by budding up with gyms
