I see hackernews SEO articles quite frequently, i even submitted one that did quite well: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1270748 so i think you're on the right track by asking here. That being the case, why don't you just edit your post and include a "we're hiring" link! Aside from that diving into the technical details "sexy problems" first in any type of job listing may prove helpful since it sounds more like they'll be very technically involved.

If the SEO moniker is really really hurting your prospects, consider creating a shell company such as Initech (generic and tech related) when posting and wait till they're warmed up to the technology before you tell them it will be for SEO. In all honesty though i think you would be better off finding someone not only excited about the sexy problems, but someone who is interested in SEO...maybe harder and longer but would pay off in the long run...if you figure out a good answer to your own problem, then let us know!
compulsive behaviors (something that I believe is rampantly abused in MMORPG design, but that’s another topic entirely)

I wonder why no one has figured out a way to harness variable schedule of reward as a self improvement tool? If it's powerful enough to destroy a life, it could change one.
It sounds like an open source e-book that you have to pay to "develop" for. Great idea in general, but although i don't mind doing work for free, i mind others getting paid for it instead of me. If they incorporate some sort of payment system, so that part of the revenue goes to contributors it might be a different story.
As an engineer for a decade and a half (turned tech manager, now), I used to have that same feeling. I believe that's because until you work with a competent marketing group, there's an awful lot of "Dilbert marketing department" evident. And truly competent marketing groups are only slightly more plentiful than unicorns, IME.

Work alongside a good marketing team however, and it's night and day. I think that they have in many cases more interesting problems, especially in the context of growing a startup.

How can you tell a good marketing department? They're smart, able and willing to do math, are willing to be data and metrics driven and can't comprehend it could work any other way. If someone says to you "math has no place in marketing", you don't want to work with that marketing department.
tl;dr? Go back and read it. This is a smart, honest, and detailed look at startup failure. It's also very well cross-referenced with valuable articles for founders.
He proved that point at #100, I guess. And you really think this as an art?
I'll let you know soon. We are over 30 people already ( 2 people started since the interview ).

The point of the system is that for a bonus system to work well the people who give the bonuses need to know about the individual people's contributions. From the company perspective, people who are very helpful to other employees are very valuable and Unicorn rewards this. People who finish big and hard projects are obviously valuable to the entire company and Unicorn rewards this. People who may be solid but are grumpy and don't like to show off their accomplishments... well... If they leave over unicorn and end up being replaced with people who do the things that are rewarded by the system then I'm happy with this outcome.

So far it's been a huge surprise to see where the money goes in Unicorn and I'm thrilled with it.
The last link (with the most recent data) shows well over 95% compliance in urban areas. The first link is over 90% nationwide. Surveys, no matter where they happen, have margins of error.

But regardless, are you seriously arguing that the difference between Vietnam and the US is...a few percent difference in self-reported mask compliance?

If the miracle cure of masking requires 100% compliance amongst 330 million people, your plan is doomed from the start.
You said "North America" vs. global coverage. I've been mentioning inclination all day long and that yes, inclined orbits spend less time near the equator than at the northern and southern extrema of their orbits. You've insisted that something else in play. Stop trying to save face-- it's OK to not fully understand something.

> PS: As to 52 degrees North, much like over the ocean satellites can reach further south than just the area beneath them. Which is why the constitution reaches further north than seems optimal at first glance.

FFS, broski. Do you read? "It is favoring things a bit less than 53 degrees North and South (the inclination is 53 degrees)"

> The distance between lines of latitude deceases as you move north. That’s what allows for 24/7/365 coverage in the continental US before the Equator.

How does that work? Do you mean longitude? You seemingly use latitude and longitude interchangeably in our conversation. Satellites spend more time at their northern/southern extrema, because ... sine and cosine spend more time near 1 than near 0. And, of course, yes, there's less total land area far north than near the equator.

Your diagram has the actual footprints drawn and they're appropriately elongated when the satellite is north or south. There's no further magical effect based on map projection. The study I cited appropriately adjusts for satellite coverage density but you somehow suggested SpaceX could further concentrate satellites over CONUS beyond the study's analysis, which is how we got onto this entire track. They can't, can they?
I feel like linuxfr.org also deserves a mention: had pretty thorough articles on lots of subject, as far as I could judge them (and knowledgeable members!).

Why do you think this is unique to HN?

In my experience, this is a common mindset. If anything, I think you have a higher ratio of people willing to adopt commercial libraries here than many other development communities.
Always view source. (=
The key quote for me was "First you scale ‘up’ as far as you can, then you scale ‘out’". I see so many job postings involving "web scale" tech that make me kind of suspicious. Do they really need it?
The author may have, mistakenly, attributed a quote as fact from one of the interviewees.

Interestingly enough, from the same link, Dupont appears to have invented/optimized a moisture-proof cellulose, which may have been what the author was referring to?

This is the goal transfer function (x is frequency in Hz):

return pow(10, (x <= 250 ? 1 : 1 + 1.5*log2(x/250) + (x > 5000 ? 5*log2(x/5000) : 0)) / -20);

This is the header library that generated the filter to match this as closely as possible: https://gist.github.com/LnxPrgr3/8262666

Then, it's time-reversed and the sign flipped, and an impulse is added at sample 0. This filter translates to mid/side stereo, applies this kernel to the side channel, then converts back to L/R for playback.
When do the academic implementations become successful? Rarely. The practical ones do, that use the important ideas and make them palatable. Usually the academic versions require one giant step off what people ever want to do. In the presentation, code goes off the direct path with intermediary objects. React's component approach is straightforward. The presentation fails to make a straightforward case of why its concepts are important. It just sounds petulant.
I would imagine Mark of all people to at least do some amount of competitive analysis. It's like being surprised Elon test drove a BMW i3.
Wow, that's so good. I've still never seen the show, as I am pretty sure I would die. But I really appreciate the clips I have so far survived seeing.
I cannot manufacture more land downtown, while a car can be manufactured and moved wherever. Land, unlike other capital goods, cannot move to meet demand.
Devils advocate: is there any proof that these aren't just business cards using poor taste humor, like Zuck's "I'm CEO, Bitch." card?

Who exactly coined the "pleasure card" moniker?

You also noted he continued to hand them out after being asked to stop, but the link doesn't seem to corroborate that (and is a random Twitter accusation at that).

That would require them to support a piece of software not directly tied to their advertising business for longer than a few years.
You have to admit that the open letter paints him as something much worse than that though. Quite the vicious and hotheaded campaign that naturally ended up being divisive. At least they did not call him racist.
Having a tenant, even paying market rent, will severely depress the value of the building. Yes, SF has "owner move in eviction", but that is a lengthy and costly process and buyers would rather not deal with it, so the value of a place can decrease significantly.

So if you're a landlord with say a 2 unit building, the ideal scenario would be you rent it out, then once you're getting ready to sell, you leave the units empty once tenants leave. Even if you leave them empty for years, you'll get a better return on your investment than if they were occupied by a tenant paying market rate.
They used to be us, are trying to get inside.
Depending on the quality of the Garbage dumps, picking through them would be a step up from some of the third-world agrarian agriculture that I've seen - which is unsafe, backbreaking, soul crushing labor.

In addition to michaelt's comment, it's worth noting that security issues are only one of many reasons to prefer free software - at least in the opinion of the GNU crowd they are appealing to.

You keep making this argmuent without really any justification besides "it just is". Everything I've read about Jax and Dexter says that it's pretty much amazing it was actually released because ND spent so much time on the esoteric, non-standard, bus-factor-one compiler-cum-game engine that they had very little time to actually make the game.
The difference here is that the code you wrote in the REPL dies with the REPL.

A REPL is more of a "scratchpad", to stay in the family of metaphors being used. Scratchpads and sketchbooks serve similar purposes, but the latter generally is used for things intended to have a bit more permanence and also to be capable of re-visiting.

In any case, I'm pretty sure the main point here is "you need to write a lot of varied code if you want to become an expert at software development".
I am absolutely amazed at how much the debate centers around the content of what is taught with Common Core. There was an article a few days ago on HN about the mathematician who came up with the design for the math portion of Common Core.

I think these people are completely missing the point. The focus should be on how to teach, not necessarily on what is being taught. My sister is a teacher. She has taught at some of the worst schools in the state (1,000/1,100) and is just now beginning at one of the best schools. The problem isn't the math itself; it is how the math is taught.

For some reason everyone in society feels compelled to voice their opinion on how things should be done in education. This is absurd. Would the average person dare tell a nuclear engineer how he should be designing his reactor? Would they pretend to argue about the airflow over an aircraft wing? Would they tell me I'm using the wrong Hamiltonian in my QM simulations? No, of course not. They have absolutely no expertise and no experience in the field. Similarly, the vast majority of everyone has no experience whatsoever teaching thousands of very different students from different backgrounds with very different learning styles and needs. So why then does everyone feel like they have the capacity to decide what the best education system is?

Most people recall going to school themselves when they were younger, and they know what learning strategy worked best for them, and then they project this learning style onto everyone else. That's not going to work. Does that mathematician who helped designed the Common Core standards have any experience working with a class where 97% of the students are on free lunches and their parents are in jail and addicted to cocaine? Of course not; his daughter goes to an upper-class school. Her situation is completely different.
You imply that innovation is the only thing an employee would want to participate in. I wouldn't have a problem working on a great team making great high quality products that are not innovative.
Neat. Seems some folks have their hangar setup as an upscale loft as well. (Apart from "ranch" homes that share a common landing strip.)
One thing that every prison I was ever in required was that inmates finish their GED.
Privoxy is amazing. I have tried Squid, TinyProxy and other proxy software for a high traffic project. TinyProxy and Squid managed to scale quite well but at a certain point it strains and I encounter an array of problems. Privoxy is the only proxy which scales well under a heavy volume of traffic whilst being very straight forward to setup. Privoxy is to Squid what Nginx is to Apache.
Not necessarily. obstinate just pointed out that a GPA filter might actually be a reasonable practice for legit companies that would be good to work for.

Ubuntu 10.10 with an ATI video card I had to start ff4 with MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 env variable (I need to update my video card drivers).

Then it crashed after the train broke out of the tunnel, still well worth the effort to getting it to work. Fantastic demo of what is possible.
Arch tends to keep configuration formats and file locations between major versions. I've found that with Ubuntu, simple things like mouse button config change drastically between versions. I love Arch on the server but Ubuntu is just too easy and has so much software available for the desktop.

For the last few Ubuntu versions I start with Ubuntu Minimal (30MB instead of 690MB) to avoid all the extra noobuser bloat that comes with Ubuntu default. This way I have a clean installation similar to Arch but without having to hand-configure everything.
Thanks, I'll take this into consideration as I look into better structuring my content. I was trying to find a nice balance between the personal appeal of why I'm doing this/who I am (so I'm not just some faceless organization putting out a product) and the product itself.

I appreciate your input!
The one feature I like about vWorker is that, when posting a job, I can limit the potential contractors to "mature economies," defined as the US, Western Europe and Australia.
I don't know much about security failsafe overrides, but isn't that a bit like DRM?
Would it be reasonable to expect the failsafe to remain unbroken, assuming that the adversary has physical access and has had time to plan?
It doesn't save lives on the disappeared plane, but it may save lives in the future. If, for example, the cause of MH370's disappearance is something that could happen to others, and can be remedied at a reasonable cost, being able to find out what that cause is and how to remedy it would save lives in the future.

A low priority, but not nothing.
See, I find this reaction to Angular understandable, but in some ways it should apply more towards the current version than the upcoming one. I think people should be unhappier with the pile of junk that they currently have to deal with, than the fact that a bunch of it is going to change or go away.

It looks like the new version does away with some unnecessary concepts (Angular itself has way too many concepts to deal with IMO) and adopts upcoming standards like module syntax. (The AtScript stuff does seem like sort of a nightmare, though apparently only contributors need to worry about it.)

I hated the time I spent with Angular 1.x and the whole thing strikes me a as a complex and painful way to build applications. But the new stuff seems like a slight course-correction if you want to build apps in that way.
I only have 2.5 years to make it :(

I don't feel that they're actively underminding the GPL. I feel that they're presenting the options fairly as to what the pros and cons are for each license. Now, I'd be curious as to see if metrics would change for each license if they were to randomize the locations of the "big three", so as to give no evidence of being biased.

>I have a feeling that anything other than "free market capitalism" is going to be shunned around these parts.

As it should. If it weren't for capitalism we would not enjoy any of the abundance we have become accustomed to having in the past century. Capitalism, as limited as it is in the current world, has provided such that royalty of past centuries would envy certain aspects of a poor person's life today (I'm talking first world country poor).

The main problem with this article, and many like it, is it identifies problems existing in today's world, and then completely misattributes them. For example, the problem with food distribution has very little to do with businesses, or individuals, desiring profit. Neither does inequality (if we can even call that a problem) stem from capitalism.
Very interesting, but every one of these executives I try on my fairly stock Ubuntu system returns 'run-detectors: unable to find an interpreter'.

> What a fucking joke. There is clearly no practical upside to this for the wearer, or the rest of society.

Yea, not for the average person. The most creative thing I could come up with was to play a game with your eyes closed and then let your glasses tell you who's who. So, not really worthwhile.

But then I thought, what if you're an old person that has issues with recognizing people. I think some of them could benefit from it. It points to a theme which is: AI could help certain senior citizens to augment their cognition, and recognizing someone via glasses is a small example of that.
Probably the scaling aspect of k8s autopilot is the only part that is similar. The rest looks similar to functionality provided by other tools internally.

But likely they shared little in common.
Purely my problem for not knowing but I ran into an issue of where I needed to escape characters in a password in a yaml file. Having said that I really like yaml as a Ruby dev.
Listen, son, it's the largest cartel on the planet. It's balance sheet expands and contracts arbitrarily b/c it's has a magic checkbook that can create money from nothing. They buy real assets of real companies to backstop prices that should be set my market forces and we're not allowed to know about it till long after the fact. Boy, I'd say that if most regular people knew how entrenched the fed was in their daily business they would want to know more than "It's a little PCAOB", which is a lie.
You are correct. The penalty for being offline is relatively mild, and proportional to how long you are offline.

It's creating blocks that are mutually conflicting, due to deliberate malevolence, or an accidentally misconfigured node, that leads to large penalties, and the probability of that happening is not a function of connectivity.

Slightly off-topic, but my wife needs a new PC with pen input (as she needs to draw a lot). Does anyone with an Atom tablet happen to know if this will work with Photoshop (it's the heaviest program she'll be using)? If not what are the alternatives? I heard the Lenovo Yoga 2 is better than the Surface Pro 3 but I'm terribly out of the topic since a while now.

This happens every year. Lots of product announcements do go out around April 1 because it's the end of first quarter. Also there's lots of B.S. april fools day jokes. Hilarity ensues.
Can't we machine-learn when people need new items based on past order history, instead of requiring them to push a button?
April Fools jokes don't happen until tomorrow, no? I can't remember any jokes happening on March 31.
This is amazing! Thank you! I always get so frustrated when I go to use Google Maps ever since the UI update. The floating drop-down search box infuriates me to no end.

OK, I think some wires got crossed. You can trivially create a unit test for the outer function that indirectly tests the output of the inner function. What the GGP meant was that you can't directly test the inner function because you can't access it and so can't call inner() from the unit test.

For example, given:

def add(a, b):
def inner():
return a + b
return inner()

You can write tests like:

assert add(1, 2) == 3

But you can't write something like:

assert add.inner() == 3

If inner() were doing something nontrivial, you'd probably want it to be standalone.
