Pied Piper|San Francisco, CA|Internships|Full-time

Pied Piper is a data compression startup based out of Silicon valley. Using our revolutionary “middle-out” algorithm, we find long-range structure in your files to create the most efficient encoding of your data. It’s just as exciting as it sounds!

We're currently looking for strong developers on all levels of the stack to join our cutting edge technology team. You should apply if you're proficient in Python, Ruby, JS, Clojure, Java, Erlang, COBOL, Haskell, Fortran, MIPS, C/C++, Swift or Android.

If you're interested in changing the world with us, drop us your resume at [email protected] and get ready to be a part of something amazing.

Couple of things.

1. There is very little context for this graph, and "Average Hours Worked by Persons Engaged" is not defined very well.

2. What happened in Germany in ~1975 that made them suddenly start working?

3. Where is this data being sourced from?

Just a silly app me and a couple of my friends threw together. Let me know what you think, and please send any PR's to https://github.com/elbuo8/ebola-hack
