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.
Yup, which is precisely why Google won't ever touch anything north of the Mason Dixon line. Heads would certainly roll if they encroached on Comcast's home turf.
Actually it's fortunate for Austin. It has pushed the other companies to offer much more bandwidth. Before Fiber was announced the max you could get was 50Mb down.
From Google Fiber's FAQ on "Why have you chosen this list of cities?"
> These cities are led by people who have been working hard to bring faster Internet speeds and the latest technologies to their residents. We believe these are communities who will do amazing things with a gig. And they are diverse -- not just geographically, but in the ways they’ll give us opportunities to learn about the wide range of challenges and obstacles that communities might face in trying to build a new fiber network.
So it sounds like a combo of local government initiative & geographic diversity. But yeah - unfortunate in the respect you said
> "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?
I would guess one of NIH or SPDY. And they may not be (probably aren't is my guess) writing their own, just packaging one up that they know works with whatever depends on it.
