Yes. We believe that skills aptitude is important, but we found that most companies have devoted less time to evaluating culture fit consistently. The result is more people quitting due to poor culture fit as opposed to lack of skill.
You can't beat YouTube in the US. Google effectively subsidizes YouTube's bandwidth usage and that chokes off any alternatives.

Even NicoNico in the US just wrapped the YouTube video with a comment system to save bandwidth:

Ok I think Zoe should create a t-shirt on tee spring with "I don’t think they are evil. I think they, like other tech companies, are just idealistic in a way that works best for them." that is such a great quote.

And I agree it is bogus what Google is asking. Next step is the ContentID equivalent robot that runs as a service and just sends DMCA takedown notices to Google forcing them to remove the videos and get no ad revenue on them and piss off their users. She really does have the power in this fight, applying it will take some effort but I think it can be done.
No it doesn't. Short reply but there is literally nothing else to say.
Such a sham that WhatsApp's privacy policy page still says:

We joined Facebook in 2014. WhatsApp is now part of the Facebook family of companies. Our Privacy Policy explains how we work together to improve our services and offerings, like fighting spam across apps, making product suggestions, and showing relevant offers and ads on Facebook. Nothing you share on WhatsApp, including your messages, photos, and account information, will be shared onto Facebook or any of our other family of apps for others to see, and nothing you post on those apps will be shared on WhatsApp for others to see.

This is hypocrisy!!

Edit: The word "onto" in the privacy policy is so dubious. They said we aren't sharing anything onto Facebook. Probably it didn't mean they weren't snooping our data.
Protection money is pretty accurate actually. Instead of paying salaries for Armies and the City Guard, it’s law enforcement. Well, Armies too.

Not the nicest way to put it but they put in Yeoman’s[1] work and earn it.

To my (limited) knowlegde: you can modify the packets, but since they're encrypted, you shouldn't be able to change the transmitted data to your liking.

Unless you breach it somehow, you can only do denial-of-service, not a true man-in-the-middle.
A language being highly synthetic is actually a liability in the case of non-delimited written languages (which is the case with Chinese and Thai, the latter of which I have some fluency).

While Thai is more logical in one sense (subway = electric vehicle under ground, transliterated: rotfaidaidin) trying to read a sentence with no separation between those words just adds to the confusion.

When most words in a language are combinations of other, complete words, it really raises the bar for being able to read something and get the gist of it, which is critical for moving on to true fluency.
it might be simple to say, and it might even be simple to understand, but it's freakin difficult as hell to read and write.

I think the author needs to expand more on how he defines simple. Being a native Chinese speaker, I can understand and say most things in Mandarin, but I still cannot read or write well. Even after years of Chinese School and years of my parents trying to make me learn, It's just too easy to forget once you stop using it.

Its an essay editing site poised to make admissions essay editing more of a commodity by connecting applicants directly with editors.

The alpha is approaching positive cash flow, and we are crafting the beta right now. We are a very early stage startup and are looking for people that can do both front end and back end development and are interested in equity.
The relief well should still stop it as it would intersect far below the surface (down where the bedrock is). The issue being it would be an enormous flow until that gets set.

Also is this a good direction for "mobile first" approach? What about platform independence? (iOS/Android/Desktop agnostic, etc, etc). (bootstrap? phonegap?)

"It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too."

Not in the case of criminal law violations. Civil suits should not be used as a blunt weapon to end run criminal complaints only because they set the bar lower. This is antithetical to tort reform.

You don't even need to write your key/value in a file. Git accept committing empty commit. and allow any message to be committed with it so content of your database can be the git commit message.

> You can repeatedly use software (I.e. daily, monthly, yearly) for short periods of time or for specific tasks. That doesn't mean you'll be using it all the time though.

Yes, and perhaps I should've clarified that I meant "repeatedly" as in "couple hours or more a week, on average". With an important caveat that software which is used "for short periods of time or for specific tasks" by some people all too often is also used all the time by other people. E.g. I use Word or Blender for about an hour a month on average, but there are many people who spend eight hours a day, five days a week in front of them. It's bad if you handicap the former for the sake of the latter.

> A lot of the time people just use software to get the job done and aren't engrossed in using it.

The difference I'm trying to focus on here: if you're using the software once, to do one-off job, there's no point in you investing into learning it. But if you're using the software to do a job done on a regular basis, you'll eventually start looking for ways to spend less time doing that job. It's nice if software offers such ways, and guides you towards them.

> If I can improve my efficiency/revenue/whatever metric more by leveraging something other than this software, why would I waste my time learning how to use the software better?

Fair. I'm explicitly talking about situations where you can't. You have a job to do, this is the software that lets you get it done. If you can use different software to do it faster, then of course you should use it.
Because someone convinced them to lease or buy on finance a brand new Prius and they need to make payments? That’s where I suspect the exploitation comes in - not the actual Uber usage, but the financial decisions required to get started (eg drive late model car). Vs other apps, they’re all the same give or take a few months.
If you focus on short-term, it's somewhat unsurprising that you fail at long-term.
But does it support mouse control, and drag&drop or media content preview?
The payoff for humanity right now is that it gives people something to do while they're bored and socially isolated.

My favorite unrealistic and whimsical solution to the pandemic is for the government to buy everyone a copy of Factorio (maybe a laptop too if they don't have one) and have vaccine eligibility order determined by how fast you launch a rocket. The entire country has a momentary national obsession with non-deadlocking rail systems, and in a couple weeks the pandemic is over because no one has left their house in that time.

I do think Factorio is a good tool for understanding and appreciating supply chains and logistics. It's amazing to me that there are real-world factories producing real-world complex products like cars, and the whole process is far more complex than some optimized rocket control module production setup in Factorio. It's something most people just don't interact with, except as a consumer of the final product or maybe they have a job contributing to some tiny part of the entire production system.
YouTube is still a great place. And yes, it has a multitude of problems, but personally I don't believe it's YouTube's job to make it a completely safe space for kids. Just like with television, it's a parent/guardian's role to parent their kids and set boundaries.

Ask HN: What “machine” do you use for side projects
I would like to know what "machine" does one use to develop side projects, since I do not want to do so on the company's devices. Specifically:

1. laptop vs desktop
2. OS : linux, OS X, Windows
3. CPU / RAM / Disk specs

I imagine different types of side projects, so it would be better if my setup is "flexible":

1. Mobile apps (iOS, Android)
2. Websites development (both FrontEnd / BackEnd)
3. Tinkering with Raspberry Pi

Hey there,
I'm Panos, CEO of FullBrain (https://fullbrain.org/) and a first time founder. The team and I are working hard to establish the company the best possible way and gear it towards high growth and VC.

In that sense we have a lot of questions on setting up a great shareholder's agreement, deciding on vesting, drag-along, tag-along, making room for key employees and warrants etc.

Do you have a resource (or set of resources) that follow the 80/20 rule in terms of the help they had provided?

Show HN: Emery – Personal Planner
https://emery.to/?d
We're building an app that helps people organize their days and weeks. In a nutshell, it's a workspace that combines tasks, notes, and calendar events.

Emery users can see their days and weeks on a single screen, manage their personal and professional tasks, access a single schedule of all their calendars, and navigate through their days without switching between multiple apps.

What we've built so far:

- A web app for desktop (standalone is coming soon)
- Bi-directional Google calendar integration (including multiple accounts)
- Daily and weekly planning screens with extensive usage of drag'n'drop
- Time blocking for tasks
- Different types of tasks – daily, weekly, "until done"
- Basic note-taking functionality

Also, Emery has some things we always wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, group editing of overdue tasks, categories to group tasks/notes/meetings together, and weekly productivity reports.

What's cooking:

- Recurring tasks
- Standalone desktop app (trying Tauri)

Coming later:

- Outlook integration
- Mobile apps

Happy to hear any feedback and answer any questions!

We’re looking for Full Stack Developers, Product Managers, an iOS Developer, an Android Developer (building our first Android app), Front End Developers (w/ an eye for design!), and someone to lead DevOps.

Perks and Benefits:
Health, dental, vision; brand new computer and phone of your choice; best compensation of any company in NY; generous signing bonus; free unlimited Seamless and Fresh Direct; gym membership; 401(k) program

To Apply:

Beginning Freelance Writing
http://blog.adityashevade.com/howto/beginning-freelance-writing/
There are a few good Linux magazines around the world which publish content submitted by the readers. I have been writing for a few myself. A lot of people emailed me and asked me the details – how to contact, how to propose your idea, how to get it approved. You could be a brilliant writer, the next Shakespeare perhaps, but they don’t know that. Unless you contact and present yourself and market your idea to them – they won’t know. So I figured, I might as well an article about the procedure. Heck, I do it almost once every month (write proposals and guide aspiring authors).
