Some more information, since I ran out of space:

About Scry Analytics:

Scry Analytics (www.scryanalytics.com) provides Big Data Science solutions to do predictive and prescriptive analytics (i.e., to "forecast the future") and our aim is to:

    * Codify work-flows in the services industries so that they are well-defined & repeatable.
    
    * Collate and harmonize client's data that is required for such work-flow systems.
    
    * Provide Scry Analytics' proprietary data that improves the key performance indicators and the characteristics of such work-flow systems.
    
    * Use our proprietary Big Data Science platform as well as deep Computer Science & Math algorithms to build decision support systems that improve the metrics related to these work-flows.

Although Scry Analytics provides analytics and Big Data Science services, our aim is to minimize these services by providing automation and software solutions (where we can). We are currently solving problems in the following domains:

    * Retail
    
    * Banking and Insurance
    
    * Inventory & Transportation of After Market Parts; Maintenance
    
    * Utilities and Telecom
    
    * Health care

Since most techniques that Scry Analytics is using are taken from cutting-edge research, the kind of solutions that Scry Analytics is building are unlikely to be built by companies that provide data analysts in a staff augmentation mode or those that provide IT professionals. So, we are looking for Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs in computer science, data analytics or math that have a "research" or "advanced development" bent.

Might want to change that MC to NC for all the ctrl-f folks in here.

This is the one I was thinking about and implicitly referring to. Thanks for posting.

Not only did I have to remove the certificate from my root authority in the control panel, I also had to remove it from my list of certificates in Firefox. This was after uninstalling Superfish. Once I did all of these things, and cleared my history and cache and all that, the website that folks have been linking said that it didn't detect Superfish (sorry, I'm typing this from a phone).

So my explanation wasn't very technical, but I feel as though the part of the process where you also remove the certificate from Firefox had been left out, and I wanted to share it in case it helps out another person.

This news took me by surprise, as I just received a brand new Lenovo Yoga 2 for work last week, and it had this vulnerability.

This is a problem that a Project Manager solves.

Why would they have high ones? That's the better question to ask.

Scry Analytics - Raleigh, NC - Full time - US Citizen only

DevOps Engineer:

Responsibilities

This position seeks an individual who wants to work with a team of developers on a day to day basis to make sure the infrastructure around the development team runs as smooth as possible. This includes setting up databases on a windows server virtual machine, configuring web servers and servlet containers to host visualization dashboards, integrating between different web applications onto the same page, writing scripts to automatically load data dumps into databases, installing web apps and pages onto a web server, and hooking up all integrated web applications onto a single sign-on system. The candidate should have good communication skills with both business users and developers. Though this is not a development position, the candidate may be expected to write automation scripts from time to time.

United States citizenship is required.

Required Skills

Proficiency with Windows Server 2012, Apache web server, Apache Tomcat 7 Servlet container, and MSSQL Databases

Experience with installation, management, and integration of software components with web servers, databases, *nix virtual machines, and authentication schemes

Working knowledge of web technologies (HTML, Javascript)

Working knowledge of Java

Not sure why I'm getting so many downvotes - nobody is able to consider the possibility that running a business on some of the most expensive, sought after real estate on the west coast with such slim profit margins couldn't have had something hugely to do with their shutdown? The issue with the wages seems like the straw that broke the camels back. If I'm totally off base with my thinking here, please explain how.

The rent also doubled for their location. That would seem to be the bigger elephant in the room, no?

Got a link to the cookbook? I'd like to check it out.

While I agree that sweatshop labor is deplorable, the flip side of that can be seen by looking at the number of tailor shops in your area or mine. It won't cost $3500 for any of them to make you a bespoke shirt, that's a guarantee.

Now a bespoke pair of shoes on the other hand...

The sewing machine changed the world. I took a sewing class a few months ago, and the instructor was very clear that before that machine was invented, women would spend a significant portion of their time making clothing and other textile items by hand, needle, and thimble. The sewing machine is a classic example of how technology can fundamentally disrupt society by removing manual tedium. All of us here on Hacker News can be inspired by this seemingly minor piece of history. It's what we should strive for in our work.

I can see how this would help Apple and various data brokers, but I can't see how this would directly and immediately enhance the iMessage experience for the end user. I would be extremely surprised if this became an added feature.

You'd think if it were so beautiful, there would be some photos in the article?

So does this mean that Karpeles will/could be summoned for examination? I am very intrigued by this juicy turn of events.

I've done some impressive work... From my bed.

It solves the problem and looks cute, while costing next to nothing. This is good design.

Should have added that we are looking for US citizens.

We are in need of four developers whom we would like to hire preferably in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill/Cary/Morrisville, North Carolina area (but San Jose, California will work also).

Disrupting bartending, I presume? Cool stuff either way.

Fair enough. Sorry to be so harsh. I think it was the tone of the article that made me upset yesterday. I definitely realize the need for accurate information in that part of the world!
