Good point, but if we can't rely on the law to help us what will be left?

I wonder if one can make a request for information (Freedom of Information Act) about data personally held from the government?

This link didn't generate the interest I thought it would get. A lot of interesting people are interviewed in this ebook like Peter Seibel.

In particular see https://github.com/deptofdefense/code.mil#welcome-to-codemil...

> The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) faces unique challenges in open sourcing its code. Unlike most software projects, code written by U.S. Federal government employees typically doesn’t have copyright protections under U.S. and some international laws. This can make it hard to attach an open source license to our code, and our team here at Defense Digital Service wants to find a solution. Read about our journey so far here.

Kudos | Software Engineer | Oxford, UK | Full Time, ONSITE, http://www.growkudos.com

Kudos is a start-up innovating in the digital publishing space. Our vision is a new model of scholarly reputation that accelerates the positive impact of research on global health and happiness, and our part in that is to provide researchers with insights and tools to demonstrate and maximize the influence of their work.

We’re looking for Software Engineers to join our growing team that enjoy working collaboratively and are comfortable learning new things. We currently use Sass, JavaScript, Ruby and Amazon Aurora, running on AWS but are actively exploring other technologies, so any experience in equivalent stacks is still relevant.

We're a small, friendly team with plenty of scope for individuals to make a real impact on the way we work and how we do it.

We've got a lot of ideas about where we want to go, with plenty of scope for innovation in:

• Analysing our data sets

• Scaling our infrastructure

• Producing intelligent recommendations to our users

• Creating a beautiful end user experience

I'd be happy to discuss, feel free to contact me. My contact detail is on my profile.

Other than that I think as phaus just said, the fact to contribute positively to society is a big argument. If your company can't deliver on cash advantage, maybe remote work and social event shoudl be push forward.

I've heard about you a few times in Oxford. Happy to still see you around. Which level are you looking for?
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (November 2016) on Wednesday November 02, 2016 @10:03AM (#12854783)
It looks interesting, would it requires doing some math or to display data?

I would like to know a little bit more. I'm from Oxford and heard about you.
