Nice! I have one of their devices in my car and it's excellent -- adding the 3G sounds like it will add a lot of cool possibilities in terms of possible features. Seems especially useful for those with kids.

Other than that, there are limitations in some cases depending on the role based on compliance and security restrictions -- some things have to be done in the US. We also have offices in Lethbridge, Canada and Berlin, Germany. We want talented people -- if there isn't something about the role that presents a limiting factor, we're certainly open to remote.
(Remote work depends on the role -- some are onsite only, others may be available to remote workers. Internships available as well.)
Planet Labs has a large number of positions open. We're a collection of electrical, mechanical, aerospace, software, science, etc. folks looking to image the whole planet on a daily basis with a large number of small satellites. It's a terrific bunch of folks doing what we call "agile aerospace".
I've personally been with the company for over a year, working on "Mission Control", an internal web app for managing the satellites and make life easier on our "Spaceship Captains" -- the operators who manage them. This is definitely one of the most interesting and fun roles I've had in my career (and I've had a few).
Python (Flask, Django) and Javascript (React, Backbone) are used heavily in the web projects. We of course have systems programming to do for the onboard software. Plenty of other interesting work from the satellite design and various subsystems, manufacturing, georectification of images, image corrections, dev ops, site reliability engineers, and heaps of possibilities with a supremely interesting dataset that we're growing.

... as well as plug https://spotbot.qa/, which he is working on with another early Rdio employee.
"Hi! Just wanted to check if you received my coding sample and if there's any feedback. Thanks so much!"

As for working remote outside the US ... we do have a few folks who do that. I believe there are hoops to jump through in some cases, but we'd jump through those hoops for the right people.
J/K, yes, and we have several Canadians already employed at the company, as well as folks from some other countries.

I can see this being especially useful as a support chat for a company or open source project or ... where you have one chat room that can be connected by all the different chat platforms so you don't have multiple places to monitor.
Best non-technical one... in the 2nd grade, asking a girl if she wanted to come over for dinner and her rejection being akin to "Hah! Hey everybody... he just asked me to dinner!" That screwed me up for years... fortunately, I've recovered. :)
The suggestion of http://photo.net/ is a good one. I'd also recommend http://dpreview.com/ for gear and http://photosig.com/ as a place that you can see other peoples' work, critique and be critiqued.
The "National Geographic Photography Field Guide, 2nd Ed." was an amazing book that got me started in terms of understanding photography. (And it looks like it's been replaced with the "National Geographic: The Ultimate Field Guide to Photography".) The book essential is in two halves. The first half talks about the mechanics of photography... how shutter speed relates to aperture relates to film/sensor sensitivity (ISO) relates to focal length relates to distance to the subject relates to... etc. All of that is half of what I think you really need to know in terms of the mechanics. The other half is light. The second half of the book talks about a myriad of photo subjects and the approaches to photographing them, rules of photography (in terms of composition) and so forth.
As you get to know more, you'll see that your question is kind of like "How to get started with computers?" There's so much to it, it's hard to say. Perhaps your goals warrant a Digital SLR, perhaps they don't. I can tell you this, though... a good photographer with a bad camera can take better photos than a bad photographer with a good camera.
Like ack, it uses perl's regexes... just add more file extensions and you're golden. The nice thing is you do:
cg pattern
vg index
