> we're still playing around with how many hooks to give each account- and we're definitely open to increasing it. this is why we're releasing in beta.

Makes sense. I can imagine that if this was released to everybody, immediately, and people set up their CI servers to auto update dependencies on hook, and leftpad got updated, that'd be a serious thundering herd.

> as for it being paid, our registry is super expensive to run, so we're looking for ways to make money to support it. this is one way to encourage people to pay for their accounts. this also keeps our prices super low (we start at 7$ a month).

+1 to telling it like it is. I definitely get way more than $7/mo of value out of npm.

Are the costs of npm public? Is it mostly bandwidth costs for transferring the tarballs?
Testing this by using it to write a blog post. So far so good. It's pretty nifty for "pruning" dense writing.

The dynamic co-expression network of heart regeneration in the zebrafish
What I'm saying is that you can't justifiably say that it's "just someone else's computer" (emphasis mine). Just someone else's computer would be ssh root access to a physical machine in some data center. No tenancy separation, no dynamic allocation, no exposure of failure tolerances (e.g. AWS Availability Zones), etc.

To illustrate this point succinctly, there are probably thousands of "somebody else's computers" sitting in a dell warehouse somewhere that are no good to me. The cloud is only useful if there are additional services to help me consume that computer.

I'm not saying it doesn't run on somebody else's computer. I could, though, since private clouds are in fact "clouds" that are not someone else's computer.

Again, what I'm saying is that it is not a sufficiently specific generalization to accurately describe "cloud." The definition of "cloud" is fundamentally more complex than "just somebody else's computer."
Prezi.com | San Francisco, Budapest | Full-time | Onsite

At Prezi we are building a tool to enable people create engaging presentations.

We have some pretty unique challenges like infinite zooming with 60fps on all platforms, and some standard ones as well like people need access to their presentations 24/7.

We have the following 2 engineering positions in San Francisco but check out the ones in Budapest too (we have even more): http://prezi.com/jobs

Senior Web Developer - http://prezi.com/jobs/189929 - We are looking for someone with experience in building web apps. We prefer generalist for this position since the team is small and responsible for services across the stack. You might need touch React.js and AWS console the same week.

Data Engineer - http://prezi.com/jobs/200544 - We are looking for someone who is a good software engineer and enthusiastic about data. We prefer someone who is eager to learn and can go out of their comfort zone. You'll need to work together one day with data analysts on SQL and the next day with product engineers on python.

Some benefits I'd highlight above the usual stuff: unlimited holidays, trips to Budapest.

Apply on the above links or reach me at akos@prezi.com
Do they have a name or some sort of label to easily identify the group so I could do a search for something similar in my area?
Indeed; my point was more that even if we decided to build so much new housing that prices fell by half, it still wouldn't bring us anywhere close to Paris, much less Manhattan or Hong Kong.

Since realistically we're probably not going to do even that, fears of Manhattanization are completely unfounded.

I started on 3(.5?) and helped with a migration to 4 (which was a disgusting mistake of a process on our end). I like the format of their docs -- JSDuck was my favorite docset for a quite a while. I also enjoyed their methodology for constructing views and view hierarchies. Ultimately, I'd say I was a fan of what they were doing, I just think the implementation was rather shoddy, and the docs were frequently wrong or outdated, and (as mentioned) support was not good. When I got to React, it actually did bring back some memories of Ext, but without the full MVC hierarchy around views.

I believe it's well-established that Adderall has a profoundly different effect on people like yourself who actually have ADHD, than on those who don't have ADHD. So when TFA talks about "abuse", I understand it as referring to people who do not have ADHD but are obtaining these medications illegitimately. It is unfortunate that the article mixes this up with the (presumably legitimate) increase in ADHD diagnoses.
What American Startups Should Know Before Opening a European Sales Office
It's disturbing that the landing page does not mention at all what charity procedes go to. You need to go to the very bottom of the About page to finally find it's for http://www.unhcr.org

The donation is also done in a sketchy way. Also near the bottom of the About page:

> How does this charity thing work?

> So far I'm using a solution that means I get payments sent to me to my Paypal and I personally make the donations to charities. I've chosen this way because it's easy.

In other words, you're paypal'ing money to a stranger and hope that the money makes it's way to charity

To the author's defense, he does have a "Are you to be trusted?" section that acknowledges this. The idea of a pay-what-you-like-for-charity-on-my-side-project idea is neat, but you need some degree of credibility or third-party to make it work. The next side project should be integrating against something that guarantees the promise of the donations.

Haplo -- London, UK -- Full time, ONSITE

http://www.haplo-services.com/jobs

We're looking for developers at all levels, from junior to senior, to help us build open source software for research in universities. We're making significant improvements to everything from the inception of research projects to publication of research results.

This is a really exciting time to join us. Our PhD Manager product is recognised as the market leader, and we're deploying it to major UK universities as fast as we can. And, we've just won a major contract to deliver core functionality for a national research data service.

You'd love working with us if you think that:

* doing things the right way is just as important as getting them done.

* open sourcing your software allows your work to have a positive impact on as many people as possible, and makes great business sense.

* growing steadily through revenue is preferable to gambling with the rocket fuel of investment.

* working in an environment where everyone is learning together is essential to doing your best work.

Fast recruitment process: Email us your CV. 20 minute phone call. Spend a few hours on a short coding challenge. Visit us for an in-depth code review and interview.
>bit sensationalized...This excerpt..."Abuse by young professionals"

I don't think so. I'm in one of those environments where long hours are common and it definitely does happen. There are also people using a mix of uppers & downers (need the uppers to be wide awake but then can't sleep when at home hence downers). Hell I'm doing a vaguely similar thing (just with coffee and melatonin). Add a bit of anti-depressants and I don't think "cracked out of their minds" is that far fetched.

I would say its definitely a small minority though (in my workplace)...places like New York & London...not so sure.

>But I'd hardly call myself cracked out on drugs.

Well I'm sure your case is perfectly legitimate, but you've got to admit that self-assessment in this type of situation is rather unreliable.
Could you explain a little bit why private buyers often only interested in 100% of a company? thanks
Social media is probably a bit of a factor as well, with the message that everyone else is having fantastic lives in contrast to our own "hanging on in quiet desperation"

Even pre-internet, we had a rise of TV shows like "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" which gave viewers a daily reminder of how mediocre their lives were in comparison.

The notion that everyone's life is (or should be) full of constant excitement, joy, and amazing experiences is false. It is very one-sided. But if that's all you see of everyone else, your own troubles (which are mostly the same troubles everyone has) start to seem abnormal, something that needs to be treated. So you go see a doctor and end up medicating the problem away.

hehe yup, def want to avoid that

> Are the costs of npm public? Is it mostly bandwidth costs for transferring the tarballs?

the costs aren't but that's an interesting idea. i'll bring it up with the team.

and as for the origin of the cost, transferring the tarballs is a big part but there are other parts of the infra that are also 'spensive. there are a lot of packages, and a lot of users, and a lot of downloads. we're working on reducing the cost of the registry at the same time as trying to increase revenue- hitting the problem from both sides :)
What a perfect analogy! Next time I'm having this discussion with people, I'll have to remember this.
CrowdRise | Onsite | Downtown Los Angeles, CA

CrowdRise allows anyone to raise money online for personal causes and charities. Right now, we're looking for a senior-level iOS Developer to join me as iOS Developer #2!

Technical Background: 100% Swift codebase, including 362 test cases (and growing!). The codebase is only 11 months old and has been built from the ground up on patterns like reactive design + MVVM. We have plans to open-source as much as possible, too!

Company Background: We're a gang of folks on an awesome mission: We raise money for good causes. At CrowdRise, you'll regularly get emails in your inbox that the thing your working on has helped people get a surgery they needed or shelter they couldn't afford. It's quite a fulfilling job. As far as org structure goes, the LA office is all engineering so it's a bit of a nerd oasis. We're about 35 people in our Downtown LA office, near Bottega Louie and Seven Grand. (We're across the street from One Wilshire, so we have a 1-2ms ping which is fun, too.)

Hiring Process: First, we'd like to talk on the phone and ask you some light technical questions and give you the chance to ask us questions. Next, we'll ask you to come into the office and meet the team. For the iOS part of the interview, I've been keeping a Playground in the project repo with some interview questions. I'd like to pair with you in the Playground on those questions, and generally just talk iOS. There will be no reverse binary tree sorting.

If this sounds like your kinda place, please email me personally with your resume and, if you happen to have any, some work samples: (my-first-name-which-is-the-first-four-letters-of-my-HN-handle)@crowdrise.com. I promise a reply to everyone who emails!

We recently raised our Series A round of $11.2m and we have doubled in size in the last 5 months. Our company values an open and collaborative environment. As an engineer at HomeLight you’d have wide latitude in shaping technology and product decisions while working alongside very smart people throughout the company.

We use a rails / postgres stack deployed on Heroku.

Come join us! The best way to apply is at https://www.homelight.com/about-us#contact. Mention HN.

I can't be the only one thinking that this can not be good in the long run. I still remember my friend who had a prescription for ADHD -medication, and they cut off this medication, and he couldn't do nothing but sleep for 3 weeks almost.

What kind of state does prolonged use of amphetamines put the user ? Constantly being pushed to focus on one task, what kind of thought patterns does that create in the long run ?

I feel the biggest issue with this is that it's considered okay, like is coffee use, and still coffee and amphetamines are really strong stimulants, but it's so commonplace that we don't even think about it anymore.

Are we being just taught by the culture around us to work, work, work .. when we could be taking it more easy, having our thinking be more open, and not so closed and focused on the tasks ahead of us?

Well said. It reminds me of all the bluster I hear from people about how they are "100% sure" that "FB is definitely overvalued at $80B" or "AMD is certainly undervalued at $5B" and yet, they never seem to back up their certainty with the actual act of buying or shorting the stock in question. When it comes to financial markets, anyone who doesn't put their money where their mouth is, should be completely and utterly ignored.
Great point. I have found that doing simple routine tasks to be pretty rewarding dopamine wise. The way crossing things off a to-do list feels like accomplishment.

"Hello Aaron Smith. Do you want to learn what we know about you? By the way your wife already knows about Sarah."
Everything by James Mickens seems to humorously puncture research. Take his essay The Saddest Moment, https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login-logout_1305_micken..., which had me laughing out loud because I've attended just that kind of conference talk, seen that set of diagrams, and I swear I've had to coordinate lunch via IM with those kinds of people ;)
That's usually a good assumption.

If you're an existing shareholder when a company goes private, you're forced to sell at a set price. That's why it's a legal issue. That forced sale is not a free market transaction.

If you look at the history of leveraged buyouts ("private equity" is usually powered by borrowing against the company's assets, not a pure cash transaction), the existing stockholders generally lose.
