The mouse was made by one of IDEO's precursor companies Hovey-Kelley. See http://www.ideo.com/work/mouse-for-apple/ and http://www.wired.com/2014/08/the-engineer-of-the-original-ap...

IDEO | New York | Onsite/Full Time/Software Engineering IDEO is a human-centered design and innovation consultancy that does work across a variety of fields, clients and media (from making Apple's first mouse to creating school systems in Peru).

We're looking for a software developer in our New York studio. Developers/engineers at IDEO work as part of multidisciplinary teams to help solve hard problems (in other words, you'd be helping develop products and design solutions, not just executing on specifications etc.) We work on hardware, software, industrial design, service design and lots of other media and challenges.

Apply here http://www.ideo.com/careers?cjobid=WK563179622&ref= (and feel free to ping me on twitter @dethtron5000 if you have questions).

I worked at a startup in the late 90s called Bolt. It's hard to protect your name when it's a short, commonly-used word.

Fighting semantic drift is literally the hardest thing in the world.

Has no one learned from the Fantastic Four's rocket trip?

Marvel Entertainment - New York, NY (http://marvel.com)

We're hiring a web interface engineer. The position is primarily front-end engineer focusing on responsive web sites, but we generally look for T-shaped developers and you can really dive in at different parts of our stack.

At Marvel we have the opportunity to build stuff with some of the most recognized characters in the world, the most amazing storylines in entertainment history, and some really cool and innovative technology:

* We launched our developer site in January - one of the few entertainment companies to do so (http://developer.marvel.com)

* We use graph theory to model our characters and comics (http://new.livestream.com/hugeinc/events/2474611)

* We've pushed the boundaries of responsive web design for our flagship sites

If you want to be part of a really talented, motivated and diverse engineering team, apply here: https://sjobs.brassring.com/tgwebhost/jobdetails.aspx?partne... and feel free to ping me at @dethtron5000 on twitter if you have more questions.

Thanks - we tried to make discoverability of related entities easy.

This is a use case we're very excited about. I know longbox.me is using our API as well and is dreading on similar ground.

We get this request a lot and we're evaluating adding it.

This would have been better if it infinitely scrolled.

If you want a structured, high-level intro to several languages, Bruce Tate's "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks" is pretty good. (http://pragprog.com/book/btlang/seven-languages-in-seven-wee...)

I'd recommend Erlang for its concurrency model (especially comparing how languages like Erlang, Scala, Go and JavaScript/Node handle concurrency and parallelism differently).

Haskell is good for functional concepts - understanding FP will help with functional stuff that is migrating into more mainstream languages.

Learning a Lisp (Common Lisp or Clojure) is good too.

Python is great for the mature community that's developed around scientific projects like machine learning, NLP and such.

I would be curious if Googlers on this list feel that Google does a good job putting these insights into practice.

Six weeks lead-time is not a lot for a presumably major conference like that. If you have a tight travel budget and have to scramble, having that short a lead time may exclude you.

Multiple times a day by email, several calls per month. I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know.

FWIW, 401(k) and pensions are very different things.
