Twitter Inc | San Francisco, CA | Consumer Video Client + Periscope | ONSITE, FULL-TIME
We're hiring on the Twitter Video and Periscope team for iOS, android, web, and backend. We own the entire Periscope app and everything in Twitter's clients that plays video including live, gifs, uploaded videos, and partnerships with big media companies.
We're a small diverse team making a big impact, with a huge audience, solid benefits, and a focus on work-life balance. My management chain is 50% women.
> On September 9th, 2015 we received $127,827.01 from Kickstarter. This sounds like a lot of money, until we say that this week, November 22nd 2016, we have finally gotten out of debt. That’s 440 days of work after creating the product and running the Kickstarter before we made $1.
As someone who's spent their professional career working for venture-backed tech companies that hadn't yet made a profit, that sounds damn good. Many many companies never get that far.
CocoaPods is much more akin to RubyGems or PyPI or CPAN, all of which are established as useful tools outside of OS level package managers. There's a need for a iOS/Cocoa package manager (that understands Xcode!) and CocoaPods has so far been the most successful.
I've been using Virgin Mobile happily for coming on two years. $35/month for LTE on my iPhone 5s is pretty much impossible to beat. Plus, I can get tethering for $5/day if I need it while traveling.
Yes, it's Sprint, and their network isn't the best, but since I don't live in San Francisco I've rarely had problems.
When showing off a brand new app with no existing userbase, please show or tell what your app does before waxing poetic about its beauty. If it hadn't been for the HN headline, I wouldn't have stayed on this page long enough to see what the app did.
CORRECTION: I missed the intro animation when I opened the link in a background tab, and somehow got left with a masthead image with just three icons on a blank phone, not even the download link it showed after I refreshed.
While I'm excited to see Google Fiber push into Austin, I've been very happy with my 110 mbps down / 11 mbps up from local company Grande: http://mygrande.com/internet/compare. Austin is lucky to have actual competition among cable and ISP providers, unlike many other cities.
> "The SSL layer instead handled a raw file descriptor and, consequently, lifetime handling was not automatically synchronized ... We worked with the networking team and fixed this issue within hours."
Why on earth is Facebook writing their own SSL layer for iOS?
Looks like the blog is down now, the linked to post says simply "Hello, this is Seth’s sister, Amy, with the sad news that Seth died on Saturday, April 26, 2014. He collapsed while hiking near his home in Berkeley, CA. He had asked that any memorial gifts be made to Amnesty International. Thank you to all for following and sharing Seth’s work."
I would love to hear more about what it took to wrestle Bundler to do what you guys needed and any insight into how Bundler's design could have been improved to make doing this easier.
The Schiit Modi is double the cost of the Wolfson card and has no audio input capabilities. Seems like for uses outside of an HTPC the Wolfson card provides a lot more flexibility.
One followup: I feel really scammed by entering my email address just to be redirected to github. If you don't want to give them your email address, just click here: https://github.com/radialpoint/SupportKit
