And if you're eligible to vote in the UK, vote Labour in the December 12th general election: https://labour.org.uk/manifesto/a-green-industrial-revolutio...
Likewise support Green New Deal politicians in the US and elsewhere.

That's a good line, but I think Labour did it first and the Lib Dems are parodying the high-five https://labour.org.uk/aaaa

>>> While undoubtedly a lovely sentiment, Jez, making state confiscation threats out loud isn’t great for shifting houses to minted foreigners.
I found this passage very strange. Throughout the article, the author seemed to be advocating the position that most Londoners seem to hold: that houses should be for people to live in, and not for overseas property investors to use as an investment vehicle. So why should anyone be concerned about "shifting houses to minted foreigners"?
Legislation that would stop housing being kept deliberately empty by overseas investors has been shown to be hugely popular with the public – but that's not mentioned by the article, either.

Geckoboard | Back-end/Front-End Developers, VP Engineering, Product Designer | London, UK | ONSITE (but some WFH is not a problem)
Thousands of businesses use Geckoboard to build TV Dashboards that help drive growth and focus teams, by taking the complexity out of connecting their data and understanding it at a glance. Some of our customers include Airbnb, Slack, Netflix and Skyscanner.
We have a lot of interesting, creative work ahead and are looking for curious problem solvers to reimagine how our customers get their data into Geckoboard.
You'll be joining a friendly team with great people in an environment with empowered developers, flexible working conditions, and a focus on skill development.
We are heavy users of Go on the back-end, alongside some Ruby services. On the front-end, we've been using React (and, more recently, Redux) for 2+ years, but a lot of us have learned it on the job so you don't need professional experience with it.
If you share our interest in distributed systems, databases, and data visualisation, we have plenty of fun problems for you to work on :)

London, UK | Geckoboard https://www.geckoboard.com | Full time | ON SITE (but some working from home is not a problem)
Geckoboard is a successful, growing 30-person B2B SaaS startup based in East London. Our elegant real-time dashboards solve a tricky, important problem for thousands of paying subscribers, by taking the complexity out of connecting to their data and making that information simple for everyone to interpret at a glance. As a result, our customers unlock data they didn't know they had, connect people and join up projects, and make better decisions faster.
We are looking for a front-end developer who is excited about tail-call optimisation in ES6, uses TDD consistently or wants to learn to do so, and builds super-usable single-page applications. Any React knowledge is a plus but we are happy for you to learn with us.
Please see our jobs page for details: https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/
We’re constantly striving to ensure that we offer the most encouraging, supportive and efficient environment possible. We want everyone on the team to participate in making our architectural decisions. The whole team is involved in prioritising and evaluating our work and we regularly program in pairs to share knowledge, promote collaboration, and improve code quality.
We don't just pay lip service to work-life balance, we actively and strongly encourage it. Flexible working hours and the ability to regularly work from home let you work in a way that fits you and your family, and we have generous maternity and paternity leave policies. We see our contractual obligation to offer 25 days' paid holiday as a /lower/ bound for everyone in the organisation, not a limit.
We actively contribute to personal and professional development and have a minimum budget allowance to be spent on courses, conferences, and books. We also run fortnightly "innovation days", where everyone has complete freedom to work on anything that interests them, from contributing to open-source projects, learning a new skill, or improving our internal tools and processes.

Interestingly, your tool claims our website (SSL-terminated at our ELB instance) is still vulnerable; while this other tool (http://possible.lv/tools/hb) claims we are unaffected.
Another, known unpatched, app is reported to be affected by both tools.
Is it possible that FiloSottile/Hearbleed may report false positives?

Hi, I wrote Lightbuild.
BlinkStick looks great, but for us, the main advantage of using the Hue bulbs is that the entire team is instantly alerted when the build breaks (the blinking definitely helps!). I'm not sure it would have quite the same effect if it was a comparatively small LED plugged into a single dev's monitor.

On the other hand, 6th April is the first day of the tax year in the UK, so that would work out quite well.

Did he though? The BBC seems to think he was staying in a "capsule hotel", with very few amenities: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23077350
In the rest of the UK, it's a little more complicated (for now): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam#England_and_Wa...
