I think they have a lot more work to do. I bike through Mountain View every day and over the last few years I've had more close calls with self-driving cars then the normal kind.
Nearbuy helps brick and mortar retailers understand what's happening inside their stores. Our team is small but growing fast and we're hiring full-stack and front-end engineers. If you're interested in problems like big data processing or data visualization, or like working with technologies like Ruby, Node.js, Ember and Cassandra, drop me a line at nate@nearbuysystems.com.

Nearbuy Systems is looking for a great software engineer.
We're a well funded, year-old startup working on indoor location-based systems. You're a generalist engineer who is a pro at C++, CUDA, Ruby or JavaScript, loves learning new things, working with a small team and shipping code.
I know we're not in SOMA or the Dogpatch, or wherever people pay for fancy offices these days, but we are close to Caltrain and right on the SF2G Bayway route.
Menlo Park, CA: Ruby and C++ engineering positions. Full-time and intern.
Nearbuy Systems is looking for a few strong engineers to work on our indoor LBS product. We're a year old startup with a focused four-person team and a lot of exciting problems to solve. If you're interested in things like computer vision, big data, parallel programming, distributed systems, site operations or user interface design we'll have something for you to sink your teeth into.
We use a lot of different technologies (Ruby, C++, CUDA, Javascript, Amazon AWS...) and don't expect you to be experts in all of them. If you're a pro in one, interested in the rest and excited about Agile drop me (Nate, VP engineering) a line at jobs+hn@nearbuysystems.com.
Biking the SF2G Bayway route on Bike to Work Day?
Stop by our office energizer station at 3565 Haven Ave and meet the team.
Nearbuy Systems is a year-old startup working on indoor location-based services. We've got two positions -- a C++/CUDA engineer to work on the "location" part and a ruby engineer for the "services" side.
Our location system fuses together multiple sensor feeds to get 1m accuracy indoors. It's a highly parallel system with agressive performance requirements and a lot of fun problems. "Services" encompasses a Rails frontend, a large distributed backend, data collection and reporting. If you like ruby but aren't 100% frontend focused you'll fit right in.
We're a small engineering team (currently three people, growing to six). We practice agile development, love playing with new technologies and know how to have a good time. Experience with something unusual and unrelated to the requirements is a big plus.
In my experience almost all candidates can figure out for themselves why they didn't get the job. Some of that is from giving plussed/non-plussed signals during the interview but mostly people know when they don't know the answer to something.
The few people who have ever asked me for feedback were simultaneously the least qualified and most confident candidates people I've met. No matter the answer the next step always seems to be pissed off replies, demands for a second chance or thinly veiled threats. I've stopped giving feedback because there's just no value in spending my time on it and the people who want it don't seem equip to use it.
