> The Prosser report outlines one of the primary reasons for the increase in CAT events as the intensification of the jet streams, driven by the warming of the planet. As global temperatures rise, the temperature gradients between the equator and the poles become more pronounced, strengthening the jet streams and increasing the likelihood of turbulence .

I was under the impression that, as the poles are MORE affected by global warming, the jet stream is becoming weaker? is that incorrect?

DataStax | REMOTE Worldwide | Hiring across the board

DataStax has been a driving force behind Apache Cassandra and just released DSE 6, our enterprise distribution of the best-in-class distributed db.

The database team is looking for engineers with a love of distributed systems, while the drivers and tools team has openings for Java and UI (React) engineers.

Lots of openings listed here: https://datastax.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/DataStaxCareers/jobs but feel free to contact me with question or to get a referral (elijahs at datastax).

Cheers!

which is, like, 18 months old; cassandra has come a ways since then.

(full disclosure: I work at DataStax and work on improving cassandra every day)

REMOTE, wherever

DataStax makes the enterprise edition of Cassandra, the NoSQL db for serious applications. We have developers all over the world and a 100% remote working environment. Some of the development is open source (we are the primary contributors to Cassandra core, which is an Apache Foundation project...)

I just joined recently; as a senior developer with startup experience, I had lots of offers from various companies. The reasons I chose DataStax were:

- 100% remote means I can work from wherever I want (I like to travel) and whenever, within reason, as long as I get my stuff done - the opportunity to work on interesting new technology that is rapidly changing and being adopted by a lot of Fortune 100, etc - they have been vocal about their plans to IPO in the next few years and are growing like crazy

Very competitive salary, lots of open positions: Java, Python, JS, I've even seen some Clojure. Also, SDET and technical writing.
