Having seen first hand a similar situation unfold, the most heartbreaking feeling is finding out a friend broke your trust. That said, you really can't fix the issues and protect friends at the same time. Things have to be cleaned up and trust restored.

The Board needs to be highly vigilant about pushing for transparency and getting outside independent help to get to the bottom of things.

I repeat. Financial mismanagement and abuse is not something you try to fix in-house. The reason being you really don't know who has had their hand in the cookie jar (on purpose or accidentally) and there is going to be incentive by some to not expose the skeletons and the laws broken.

People want to protect friends but the Board really needs to retain professionals to run a forensic audit, get a full picture of what happened, and put in the proper financial controls. Cost isn't an excuse. Many law and accounting firms offer pro-bono services to non-profits, and I'm sure there would be plenty of firms who would be happy to help Hacker Dojo clean things up.

Ask HN: Realistic hiring requirements?
I came across a job posting from a YC startup looking for a "hybrid software engineer" that requires the ability to write high quality application code and and also requires extensive devops-associated knowledge.

How does one acquire both the breadth and depth of knowledge for a combined role such as this, stay current with all of the relevant technologies, and still get their work done in the typical work week? Is this realistic?
No, courts don't order people to commit felonies. Courts order people to do things they are ordinarily not required to do (pay money, stop selling a product, stop following somebody) but don't order people to commit acts normally prohibited.

(The exception is that a court can order law enforcement to incarcerate or kill a convicted felon; though we call it a ruling rather than a court order. That's not what we're talking about here).

What a mess. I knew Hacker Dojo was having problems, but didn't know the details. I was a member for a while a few years ago, at the previous location, but just to take classes.

It's mostly a co-working space now. As of a year ago, people sat silently at laptops under harsh industrial lighting, coding apps into the night. Now that the get-rich-quick app boom is over, not sure what's going on there.

$199 per month is way too much. TechShop is only $125 a month, and they have a full machine shop, wood shop, electronics benches, paid staff, etc. Hacker Dojo is a bare space into which members bring stuff. I wondered where the money was going. Now we're finding out.

According to their web site, they're in the midst of a move, with the old location closed. It's not clear if the new location is open yet. Marie Knox (yes, the accused thief) is in charge of the move logistics.

It sort of sounds like the Chinese see an iPhone similar to how Americans see a BMW or Audi.
If you don't already know who your target audience is, then you've probably put the cart before the horse and there's a good chance you're building a 'Solution in search of a Problem' rather than the other way around.

Who are your ideal clients? pg's section on finding the 'Well' - a small group with a deep problem, not a large group with a shallow problem - is relevant here http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html

Be as specific as you can - geographically, demographically, what do they look like, what do they do etc (Google 'personas' for a slightly more complex take on this). Are you building something for black lesbian vegetarians? College-educated Donald Trump supporters? When you're super clear about this, ask yourself where these people hang-out - where can you find them? (That also helps with channel strategies in the future.)

Converting from Yes to Hell Yeah! involves asking open questions and doing a lot of listening. If your solution addresses a pain, have them explain that pain to you over and over - when does it show up, how does that impact them, what do they currently do, what does it currently cost them, who else do they know with a similar experience, what hasn't worked in the past, what are their concerns, how important is this to them, what will their life be like when it's resolved, how much time and effort do they put into resolving it now etc etc.

And if necessary (and you're comfortable doing so) be direct. "Based on our conversation, I'm going to add xyz in the next week and sell it for $x. Can I take a pre-order from you right now?"

If they say 'yes', you might have backtrack a little on timeframes ("Fantastic. Now, in reality I need to scope that and it may take longer than a week. However I'm going to give you an x% discount / bonus something if we proceed") or if it's a big change let them know that that was a market research question (they know this is a market research interview, so don't worry about that).

If they say No, ask "If I may, can I ask why not? What is still missing?". Keep in mind, the most common answer here is also one many people won't recognise or share - your solution just isn't worth that much to them. You've dug a broad hole, not a deep well. That's why you need more conversations (I recommend at least 10 - you could easily do hundreds, but let's be realistic).

Creating these conversations isn't hard - most people, even business owners, are quite happy to give you an hour of their time if you introduce yourself and ask for help. For programmers in particular, however, leaving the garage and talking to people is outside their comfort zone - and the result is a lot of products built based on assumptions, not conversations with actual customers.

Conversely many massive businesses developed from first identifying the pain and solution - either because of deep experience in a boring industry (something most coders in their 20s lack), or because it was scratching their own itch (reasonable advice, unless your solution is to build something every other 20-something coder would build because then none of them will value it).

Hope that helps!

Private Equity vs. VC Today
There's a ton of important software that people are installing over HTTP, so using HTTPS is unfortunately already super-substantial progress. Chris Palmer gave the sad example of PuTTY a couple of years ago:

https://noncombatant.org/2014/03/03/downloading-software-saf...

(after what I think was a long time, the actual download links themselves are now HTTPS, although they're all still served -- along with the signatures -- from an HTTP page)

I'm certainly not going to defend the idea that HTTPS is enough authentication for software installations (I'm writing an article related to software transparency), but there's a pretty big bootstrap problem and infrastructure gap right now.

oh please. He didn't hack an election. They tried to influence public sentiment using social media. They hacked some phones and emails. But they didn't rigged the election.

Just so you know. The Mexican electoral system looks like it was built by paranoiac maniac. It has many locks. Everything is done manually, votes are counted by multiple citizens, they use transparent poll boxes, special election photo ids are issued for every citizen, even the voting lists have photos, people get their thumb marked with ink, the parties are allowed to have representatives at every place, results at every place are signed, they are published at the voting place and also electronically, etc, etc. One million people participate on the election.
I remember back in 2012 there was indeed a lot of good will in the Valley towards Hacker Dojo when they needed to move. From everything I've read, I fear the HD name is too tarnished. Its a shame, their new location is quite nice.

> If you buy a conventional car, your interaction with the people who made it has ended. With Tesla, that interaction has only just begun.

There's something unnerving about this. Your car has access to so much information about you. Where you go, where you work, what stores you like to shop at, and what restaurants you like. To me, a car is a tool. When I purchase a car, I'm purchasing The engine, the wheels, and the right to use the software running behind the scenes. I couldn't care less about forging a one sided, Orwellian relationship with a large company. Even if that company is freakishly awesome.

Every time I hear "What if I told you...," I can't help thinking of that pathetic old-timey producer character on Entourage who was always asking, "What if I told you [XYZ]? Is that something you might be interested in?"

Now, psychologically speaking, "What if I told you [I could solve your problem]" is the correct sort or narrative structure to use in many pitches. But rarely do you want to use that exact phrasing. It can read as cheesy.
This is great to hear. The prospect of writing cross-mobile apps in F# is very exciting.
I may have misunderstood. I thought the event had already occurred and that this was a recording. I didn't check the event start time. The event hasn't started yet? I'm on the East Coast so I guess it just seems late.

It would've been helpful if there was some visual indication that the event hadn't started yet, like a countdown.
Fixing a bearer token vulnerability
Thanks for your input! It's true. 'Learning' is good for reaching a specific solution, but not for achieving your long-term plans.
I assume you're not using a smartphone?
Just to be clear, I meant what I wrote: an arbitrary expensive algorithm, i.e., solving the general case.

As for "most useful things people actually want to do", it seems to me that a lot of relatively computationally expensive software still isn't using lots of cores where they're available in practice today.

One significant example is computer games. Since the advent of GPUs with effectively hundreds or thousands of parallel computations available, rendering hasn't been the bottleneck it once was. Today the bottleneck might instead be the game control logic that runs on a CPU, and is often still either single-core or divided among at most a small, fixed number of cores doing different tasks.

Another common real world example is graphics and image processing software. You'd think there might be a lot of natural data parallelism to exploit, but software in this area has made relatively little use of algorithms that scale to arbitrary numbers of cores so far.

A third example would be real-time processing, say operations on high speed network traffic. In this case you can sometimes dispatch different packets to different cores to process them in parallel, but the amount of processing you can do on any given packet might well be limited by the speed of a single core, because the overheads for cache misses or inter-core communications are prohibitive. If your processing needs to consider more than one packet at once, so you can't just spray packets at different cores as they arrive, then this can become a very significant real world bottleneck.

This isn't to say that none of these problems will ever be solved as we develop more understanding and better tools, but even in 2016 the state of the art is far from using as many cores as we have available efficiently for a lot of real world use cases. Manual parallelisation often has architecture-level implications and few development teams have the experience and foresight to get it right consistently with today's programming tools. Automatic optimisation to exploit data parallelism is an interesting research field but still in its infancy, and many mainstream programming languages have far from ideal semantics for such optimisations because of aliasing issues and the like. Either or probably both of these areas will have to advance considerably before we can assume that scaling out into more cores is generally going to give better performance than scaling up with faster CPUs and related hardware architecture.

Sudden cardiac death is different from myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Sudden cardiac death in younger people/athletes is usually due to hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, a congenital defect. In older people it is usually due to ventricular arrhythmias, which can have their own etiologies.

Death resulting from an MI is typically more gradual, usually actually from complications of heart failure b/c the heart simply can't pump as well.
> The reported vote count is usually very close to the predicted vote count, and always very close to exit polling results.

Not always. In the 2004 election, Kerry won in exit polls but lost in the official count. The discrepancy was especially large in Ohio--which, had it gone as predicted by exit polls, would have resulted in President Kerry.

A few days ago there were big gaps between official and exit poll results in Arizona, favoring Clinton over Sanders.

I wouldn't normally link to Democratic Underground, but this post has a great summary of exit poll discrepancies, voter suppression, and the evidence for election fraud both in the 2004 presidential election and in the current Democratic primary.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511568043

This is a very urgent problem that I think the tech community can help fix. We need open source, auditable voting machines and professionally run elections. Election fraud, or even just the appearance of fraud, is toxic to democracy.

Volantio is hiring full-stack developers to fix travel tech in airlines
Volantio is hiring full stack developers with great communication skills who can help make some of the world’s biggest travel sites suck a bunch less, by providing tech to airlines and other travel companies (and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century).

We’re a close-knit team and have a variety of challenging work on our plates. This role is not just your typical coding-at-a-desk-in-perpetuity type position. One day you might be knee-deep in stack traces, the next you could be flying to Bangkok to meet an airline, but then the next you might well be battling CSS animation issues.

Skills/about you/etc:

- Have built non-trivial applications in small teams

- Totally comfortable in Python/Django (or something similar)

- Equally comfortable in JS/Coffeescript

- We like Postgres and redis, so it’s probably good if you do too

- Used to working in a fast & iterative continuous delivery environment with plenty of testing

- Happiest working in a cross-functional team with a very shared codebase (being small, we avoid specialization where possible)

- Excellent organizer & communicator: We’re somewhat distributed by nature, so communication is critical

- Excited by/love of travel

- Authorized to work in the US

- Patience: Sometimes our customers don’t move as fast as we’d like

- Curious, humble, and willing to learn

Bonus experience:

- Graphing & visualization

- Analytics tech

- Machine learning

- Crufty old APIs (SOAP, etc)

- Travel tech (GDS, CRS, etc)

- Enterprise technology integration

You'll be a core member of our team and be able to shape the role and take it in a direction that you find exciting as we grow the company.

If this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you. Please include whatever info you believe is relevant: resume, GitHub profile, code samples, links to personal projects, etc.

You can apply by emailing us directly (jobs@volantio.com) or on Angellist: https://angel.co/volantio/jobs/88656-full-stack-developer

Methane creares half as much CO2 per BTU of energy as gasoline. However methane its self is a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than CO2. So if more than 2.5% of methane leaks into the atmosphere, it cancels its relative cleanness.

I dont think anyone knows how natural or idustrial leakage there is. But some groups are attempting measure.

I'm not dispensing professional medical advice, I'm relating an experience I had. You're free to make up your own mind. I thought I already made that clear.

Anyway, I'm not talking about a meditation retreat. I've never done that and hear it is rather intense. I wouldn't recommend it to someone diagnosed with depression in any form. What I'm talking about can be done in the comfort of your own home. If you've tried that yourself and it hasn't worked then you need only say so and I'd see no reason for me to comment further. From your last comment, it sounds like you have tried that and it didn't help. For me, it did. It wasn't the full solution for me but it was a piece.

I'll just add that you don't need to sit cross legged to meditate. You can sit comfortably upright in a chair or lying down on a bed. This is all discussed in the book I recommended. It sounds like your experience with meditation was more strict than what I've experienced. There is more than one form of meditation. Discarding the whole practice as unworkable for anyone who has depression after only knowing directly about your own reaction to one form of meditation is as unscientific as anything I can imagine.

Best of luck to you. I hope you keep finding things that work for you.
