Some positions require on-site but we're open to remote and have quite a few remote folks already.

We're hiring!

https://reliable.co/careers/

We built avionics, software, mechanisms and a comm system that enables automated operation of the plane from a remote command station. The remote operator has a GUI where they can command the aircraft.

This article goes into a bit more detail about how it works: https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/with-tesla-and-space...

If you're looking for more up-to-date information about Titan's capabilities then check out these posts.

Titan underwent major changes to optimize in-memory operations. Here is some up-to-date info on that: http://thinkaurelius.com/2013/11/24/boutique-graph-data-with...

IIRC, the euranova benchmark doesn't discuss scalability. This post does: http://thinkaurelius.com/2013/05/13/educating-the-planet-wit...

Can anyone provide a working example for the visualization feature? The docs say that you can use the Tag functionality to label source/target nodes for sigma.js rendering, but bridging the gap between that suggestion and the actual query does not seem trivial.

Thanks. I am going to investigate the content from the competition and determine if I have a shot at finding a toe hold.

This is exactly the type of MVP I would go after: me reading HN and Tech Crunch daily.

Thanks for showing me umanoapp.com. Definitely something to consider and learn from.

I have looked in to what NPR is doing as well. I find it motivating because they also recognize that there is a problem here worth solving.

Agreed, and thanks for the feedback. My initial (and possibly very naive) assumptions are: 1) If readers are permitted to TTS RSS feeds then human recordings "should" also be legal. (Not that I actually expect the laws to be consistent or make sense.) 2) This would be one of the first things I looked in to if I pursue this idea. 3) "If I want TTS I can do it myself." This is certainly true, but the options I am aware of do not provide a seamless interface. For example, would you want to do it yourself while driving in traffic?

Would you enjoy listening to a radio station that plays HN articles while you travel to work? I know I would! I want to listen to news that I find relevant as I commute. Unfortunately, HN, TechCrunch, and all the good nerd blogs are only available as text.So I’m thinking of making a mobile app to deliver personalized news radio w/ content from blog and news sites.I would use text-to-speech...
