WeSpire - Boston - local only - $100k-$120k

At WeSpire we’re trying to save the world one sustainable habit at a time. Everyday, people miss the little opportunities to live healthier and be more fulfilled at work, so we exist to fix that by suggesting, tracking, and rewarding better actions at home and in the workplace.

We’re a Ruby on Rails web application but we’re looking to expand into new technologies. We’re looking for senior javascript engineers with experience in single page applications and senior full stack ruby engineers.

To apply email [email protected] with your resume and link me to some cool applications you have built (bonus points for apps in angular, ember, or react).

A modest proposal would be to slowly depopulate Micronesia and store all our radioactive waste there (we already tested nukes there once anyway). It's either that or let the ocean reclaim the islands over the next 100 years. So we might as well get some cheap energy out of the deal.

The behavior of the top decile is confusing as it's laid out presently. If the it's possible that the top 99th percentile drinks on average 16 drinks per night which would make it possible for the 91st decile drinking only 4 drinks per night and still get the results shown in the graph. My bet is that the data here is getting heavily skewed by a subset of alcoholics at the top end.

As counterpoint a lot of the comments in this very discussion are on the distaste or appreciation of the concept of PC master race. Clearly it is a subject that gets people talking.

Feature request: I want to buy a new gaming machine but the sticker shock is a little much right now. Is it possible to save my configuration and get price alerts when a component goes on sale? Bonus points: could I configure multiple acceptable components and get an alert when any of those products goes on sale?

Personally I kinda wish we could use different terminology for this. When the phrase "leak private information" is used, I think of Target losing my credit card info. In this case a more accurate title would be "Google Calendar Sometimes Sends Emails on Your Behalf which You May Or May Not Want." Granted this title sucks and is no where near any kind of quality link bait.

What are the units we are talking about here? Is productivity measured in hours and if so hours of what?
