MENTZ | C++ Algorithm Engineer | ONSITE (Munich) | Full-Time

MENTZ builds software for public transit agencies and authorities. One big part of our portfolio is an intermodal journey planning system - think Google/Apple Maps, but with a strong focus on public transit.

We're looking for a C++ backend dev to join the team working on the public transit router. We are currently in an exciting phase where we're working on the current and next generation of that public transit router simultaneously, so this position combines the possibility of having an immediate impact on a widely used product and working on something brand new.

More details (and a way to apply) are available here: https://en.mentz.net/jobs/c-algorithm-engineer-for-public-tr...

So now you can punish those annoying click-baits by clicking them and then returning to facebook as fast as possible? Nice. Also, this could be used to "punish" legit links someone does not like...
Encrypted E-Mail is not the problem, there already are packages that install gpg without any hassle. What must be solved is the problem of which keys to trust. The web of trust just doesn't work. Are there any concepts how to solve this with Bitmask?
