Fibs (Yet another Threes knockoff)
https://github.com/brilee/games/blob/master/fibs.py
Recently, I've been addicted to the game Threes.

One of the things I found interesting about the game was its scoring system. The scoring system works like this: for every tile 3 * 2^n, you are awarded 3^n points. It's sort of the equivalent of writing your number in (broken) base 2, and then reinterpreting it as base 3. Gameplay wise, this system guarantees that combining two tiles will yield a score that is greater than the original.

This had me thinking about another base system: the Fibonacci base system, which is explained more thoroughly than you could ever ask for here. The Fibonacci base system represents numbers not as sums of powers of the base, but instead as sums of Fibonacci numbers.

Well, I had the idea: why not play Threes, except that instead of "overflowing" base 2 representation, you overflow the Fibonacci representation by combining two adjacent Fibonacci numbers?

So I went and coded the game. My javascript skills are not so great, so the game's just a terminal game for now. You can download and run the game with python fibs.py

Managing Multi-Cultural Call Centers

The memorabilia that one can see as they walk into the Focus Services headquarters not only speaks to the wide ranging cultural footprint we have left, but to the individual agent who has contributed to efforts which allow them to reach outside themselves and serve other communities giving each employee a sense of a company-wide culture which places great emphasis on the value of service.

The Ultimate Guide to Ballin on a Budget as a Summer Intern in NYC
http://tryecruit.com/blog/summer-internship-guide-new-york-city/
As we get closer to summer, I know there's a new crop of interns getting ready to descend on New York City. When I was in college, I interned in finance and somehow managed to come out alive (less the savings I expected to have).<p>To save at least some interns the struggle, I wrote this guide to how to live and work in NYC without losing your mind or your bank account.<p>The guide goes over finding (and not getting screwed by) apartments, not sweating out your suit and becoming one with the subway system, restaurants (cheap ones), food festivals you must go to, the magical powers of the bodega and how to party in nyc without losing your bank roll or your dignity.<p>Leave any extra NYC tips you have and I'll add them (with citation). If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'm sure there are things I left out.

Web App Autopsy: Read Me Before Starting a Startup
http://www.radiantcore.com/blog/archives/09/08/2007/webappautopsy
# Don't launch your webapp in December, unless you're doing it to make January's sales look particularly good.
# Language choice doesn't matter: pick the one you like and get on with building it already.
# 1% is a pretty consistently advertised figure for the conversion from free to pay accounts. Only inflate this number if you're about to do a dog and pony show for a VC, otherwise you will only have yourself to blame when you manage to achieve 1%.
# The one number that's missing here which would help to provide a sense of scale is the actual user base of each app. It's almost like pulling a Michael Moore: the murder rate in the US is way higher than in Canada (they have 10x the population, but sssssh! Don't tell anyone or the numbers are less impressive!)
# Remember that, along with a bigger user base comes a higher support cost. Look at RegOnline's support calls/day compared to even FeedBurner's.

In all cases it is the idea first, what can happen second, the possibilities beyond third, and money. These really smart people think ideas and game changing. They rarely breakout the spreadsheet. Our young people need more of this. Our planet could use way more take a shot and let's see attitude.

Pre-alpha search engine - walk2web
http://altsearchengines.com/2007/08/06/pre-alpha-search-engine-walk2web/
So, what is a pre-alpha alternative search engine? walk2web has developed a nifty web application that allows you to "walk" from one web site -via links - to another. They are working on a Search Engine version which will allow you to query a search term, something like Quintura or KartOO, but that's not done yet; so I'm calling it "pre-alpha." (or Stealth Mode)

Facts & Figures on Women, Poverty & Economics
http://www.unifem.org/gender_issues/women_poverty_economics/facts_figures.php
As an Asian male who grew up in a culture with deep-rooted sexism elements, I found this article very sad. Every time when someone hint that women is in any way inferior, I think about my mother, with her 5th grade level education and a determination to raise us kids well. Both mom and dad work a day job, but when both of them come home, mothers are the ones who take care of dinner, children etc. I grew up with a promise to myself that I will break that cycle of sexism with my own family.

Just thinking about it, what do you think Hackers community can do to make it more warm and welcoming for female hackers? I remember reading an LA Times article recently about how startup culture is inherently male--what can we do to make it more equal in our own community?
Degreed - The better way to track education
http://degreed.com/
How I see it, the standard college degree is becoming outdated. They have been distributed for longer than we have known. With the evolution in MOOCs, we have seen colleges offer their courses for free to anyone who wishes to take them. Coursera and Udacity, for example, offer classes, but the only way to tell if you have completed them is through a certificate of completion.

The way I see it, education is one of the last things to change with the way technology is going. It makes sense: it's a fragile subject to mess with. However, there is not a better time to change the way you apply for a career. With the way we interact with friends, watch movies, shop, and listen to music all being fully implemented into the web, education is next in line for its turn.

Some people have asked "isn't it right that we also send my job to the web too?" No! What needs to be examined is efficiency and what is best for our daily needs. When you work a job, it is best to be in an environment with your collages surrounding you. In terms of education, that payment for room and board amongst the payment for tuition is what makes student loan debt the largest source of debt in the United States.

The way I see it, this is the next step.

I have nothing to do with these guys, I just think that they hit the nail on the head in terms of the next direction in education.

Ask HN: rate my social experiment on Twitter
http://wouldyoufollowmeontwitter.appspot.com
It's a website where you can rate twitterers (tweeps, tweeple?) based on their profile picture only. Inspiration was an ex-colleague who used Hot-or-Not to A/B test his resume pictures and avatars.

The basic question you answer is: Would You Follow Me on Twitter (base on my profile picture only)?

It's totally minimally-viable-product as you'll surely see from the design straight out of 1999.

I'm looking for feedback on how to make the website more engaging & what to do with the data.

Show HN: mobile game similar to Set. Launched by two engineers
http://shapejamgame.com/
Hey HN! We're a couple of devs who've been working on this minimalist async multiplayer game. It works on iOS and Android on a variety of screen sizes. You can also play against friends in offline mode (and matches sync when you are online).

One of the cool things is ~80+% of it is written in Javascript (Coffeescript, actually). No HTML5 / CSS / iFrame, though. It's still very responsive and quick. Made development a LOT nicer - particularly because using an interpreted language meant we could hot compile; we threw together a node server to send JS to the device simulator.

Would love to hear what you guys think!

Ask HN: Best way to take notes on educational articles/interviews/videos?
I watch (and read) a huge amount of entrepreneur/startups/business-related media. Videos, articles, interviews, how-to-guides, etc. from a variety of sources. Seeing that I'm in the process of starting a tech startup, I'm just trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible.

It's all great stuff, but I'm having a tough time keeping track of it all. My delicious account has hundreds of pages bookmarked, and while it's easy to access them, I forget most of the articles after reading them. Which leads me to re-read them a few weeks later. Rinse and repeat, ad infinitum. Obviously this isn't working very well.

So, what's the best way to keep track of / distill all of this information that is bombarding a self-taught wannabe-entrepreneur? Do you just write down major points? Cornell method of note-taking? I'm all ears.

Thanks!

How much does it cost to hire some devs to finish my job?

I am no professional developer, I am a finance guy, and right now I am stuck. I can't manage my amateur codebase anymore nor develop it further.

It is written in Rails, so my question is, how much does it cost to have 2-3 developers finish it in 2-3 months?
