It seems outside the scope of something YC would care about. Also the amount of sunsetted good tech job boards grows every year.

I think it's a dying business model, and perhaps one reason why we see a tech jobs startup in every YC batch (perhaps after a pivot or two), but approaching the problem from a new angle.

The most recent that come to mind are Gradberry and Triplebyte.
As far as it is a "corporate social network" the interests of all LinkedIn users, both the good and the bad ones, do not benefit from forcing integration of Microsoft software, accounts, paid services etc. down their throat.
I'm looking to solve this exact problem and would love to further get your thoughts.

Would you mind if I contacted you through email?
So why don't we, as an industry, talk to the Universities, and say that we really need a new program, let's say a TechMBA? (Or for marketing purposes, call it a TeMBA - that really rolls off the tongue :)

I'd think that there would be some interest around this from the universities, and business is really crying out for this too.

From the Uni viewpoint, it is another product they can leverage, whilst still using there in house competencies and also creating cross university synergies (HBS-MIT TeMBA)

For businesses, they get exactly the top management they need - even for non-tech companies - a CIO/CTO with solid tech skills and business skills is a sure winner.

P.S. Please forgive me for slipping in the word synergy. I truly believe it's a great word, with a great meaning, but has been flogged to death by the consulting industry.

{Edit}
Actually, I like the idea of a TeMBA, I am going to start a AskHN: What would the syllabus be for a TeMBA?

You're trying to convert the 3D world as we know it to 2D, but there's no such restriction. There are other constructs in 2D that can be used for the same purposes.

Take Game of life for example. It doesn't matter that you cannot make circuits without crossing wires in 2D, Game of Life is turing complete anyways. A computer based on GoL is totally unlike our 3D computers, but can have the same capabilities. There's no reason to think that it would be any different with biology.

Or you can try comparing our 3D world with a hypothetical higher dimension. Our intestines are hollow cilinders, stable in 3D but not suited for 4D — in 4D you can look inside a 3D cilinder just like we can look inside a 2D-sphere (a circle) from our 3D perspective. A 4D creature would probably have a very different, more efficient, structure for this use case (food containment and nutrient absorption), which they probably wouldn't be able to just translate to 3D.
This is actually the other way round. Given:

1. People who learn Haskell put in a lot of effort for their own learning benefit - they're not usually learning Haskell to get a job.

2. Once you learn Haskell you really kind of want a Haskell job to put all this nice stuff into practice.

3. There aren't many Haskell jobs about (in part due to a perception that it's hard to hire Haskell developers).

As a company in the lucky position of hiring for a Haskell role you have a pool of people who have self selected to be above average in determination and smarts, but limited options in employment in their new tech of choice.

source Built a Haskell team at a startup, now work on a Haskell team in finance. Hiring has NEVER been a problem.
The 747 carries ~450 passengers. The Concorde carried ~100. So, the Concorde is 4.5 times worse on a per capita basis.

EDIT: Actually, ~5.4 times worse if you take into account the 1.2x difference in cost.
I think "good" and "bad" are the problem.

People try to define good and bad absolutly and fail every time.

Islam says some things are bad.

Religions generally say some things are bad.

Even non-religious people are like "I don't need no god or something to do the right thing!"

We need to understand that there isn't something good or bad out there.

There is simply the wish that some things are handled a special way.

Like, for example, not eating animals. It's not bad to eat them neither it is good. It's just something we can do.

Every person and the society as whole has to accept that we just "decide" how we want to live.

If we get this we can change our minds more easily if new information arises.

But even 1,000 years is a long time.

I'm really curious what economists, or business-people, think about biochar. Not only is it apparently inexpensive but it also improves plant yields! That seems too suspiciously like a $100 bill lying on the sidewalk. Why has no one picked it up yet?

The following paper doesn't explicitly state that this is the case, but it certainly seems like biochar is not as relatively effective a fertilizer, or fuel source, as alternatives and that therefore it's relative advantage when compared to its alternatives or substitutes lies in its ability to sequester carbon:

- http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40095-014-0106-4

So I guess it's really a $0 bill until the price of carbon rises (for whatever reason).
Strongly doubting the assertion that it is easier to become a Google VP as a coder than a product manager. Product managers are responsible for the product and its P&L which is much more suited as training ground for VP than being a coder, in my opinion
I've certainly never seen a large organization that is consistently good about this. What I have seen, and valued enormously, are side-channel concessions to this need.

One of the better formulations is having lots of small conferences rooms (or corner chairs, or anything isolated) that anyone can grab, with bonus points for doors. It's not a complete replacement for respecting flow, but it's a great way to let people with some urgent, complicated code task get a truly isolated setting to get things done. A lot of everyday code can be written passably in counterproductive settings, so even occasional, high-urgency access to good workspaces seems to be a huge step up.
It changes every three meters, so perhaps it depends on which room in the embassy?
I just read something along the same lines on the way to work this morning:

What drives and excites you?

Answering those three questions honestly will give you a better idea on what kind a role would best fit you.
I recommend reading pretty much anything written by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, David Wong, or Charlie Stross. (Stross is less recommended only because he writes a lot more and his quality level is less consistent; that said, at his best he competes with Stephenson's best and wins)

You could get into Sacramento's airport in 45 minutes in the 90s, although that would be cutting it close. And even today, you can walk out with carry-on only in about 10 minutes, with the expensive parking close to the bridgeway into the terminal.

However, an hour and a half to get in with TSA "at your service" feels like cutting it really close, and I'm talking about "Smurf" (SMF), not San Francisco or San Jose.

Ask HN: Are you still using Socket.IO?
It seems that Socket.IO development has stalled again (lot of open issues and pull requests with no answer) so I started looking for a viable alternative.

I'm not sure what your point is. If the problem is that most of our OSes now contain spyware, by any objective definition of the word, that is an accurate statement.

> If you don't like the 3 words it gives you

After trying some locations, I think they should have purged their dictionary of obviously negative words. Ending up with `glorified.bodily.passage` is just bad luck and can't be avoided, but `snored`, `brainwashed` or `grieved` are just bad in any context.

Also, some ground offset in meters (grazed.across.like.7) or the ability to go beyond 3x3 meters like a fractal would allow you to specify individual drawers or even pencils inside them.

Facebook and good UX? Ha! Good one.

I'm a UX designer and Facebook baffles me. Maybe I'm a bit too old or I don't use it enough, but I find it so unintuitive - there's all kinds of options, corners and dead ends where things may or may not be hidden. And then once I've found something, getting back there again is almost impossible.

It just doesn't lend itself to a consistent mental model.
It doesn't. It's a grid system with 3 meter squares, each one having its own trio of words. Move the point 3 meters in any direction and you'll get a different one. This allows much more precise and close together addresses, down to the entrances of doors or gates.
I've been able to get from the airport entrance to my gate in under 30 minutes. It was around 2am going from LAX to PHL and there was a long-ish (maybe 20 min wait??) line behind us at security. We still waited another 45 minutes at the gate. So 1 hour on the departure end is reasonable. At arrival I don't see 1 hour being unreasonable either.
While that's certainly true, I often wonder what would have happened if super-sonic development continued. Certainly, at my income level, I would never pay for a Concorde ticket.

But, if it were $800 vs $1200 for a 9-hour vs 4-hour flight (and all else equal), I might be tempted. That would allow a very early departure from DC and still be in Rome for lunch. Currently, the best option is usually an overnight flight, but I never sleep well on those.
Yes, except unlike DNS, it's centralized into a single database and you may have to pay a license fee to read from it.
Yeah, the "C++ killer" meme is annoying. It is exciting that Rust is already as good as it is, and it is also exciting that C++ is improving so much. It's a big world and the proposition is not either/or but both/and.
> Just because something is normal doesn't make it right.

That's debatable, but why should Microsoft allow its competitors have an advantage over them because of telemetry data? The collection doesn't do you any harm, it's not invasive. They aren't looking at your file names, or the text in your documents or your keystrokes. The only time they gather keystroke information is when you're in Cortana...which is literally useless without gathering telemetry for search terms.

> Microsoft has done just fine with windows without taking all this additional information

Except for losing marketshare and people complaining about UX and how OSX is better?
The data entry just gets dumped on residents, adding to their already absurd workload (and realistically gets done at the very end of their shift after being on call for 24-30 hours). There is no plausible way that this results in better accuracy.

The idea is great, but it just runs into an absolute brick wall of realities of the health care system and human behavior.
Lots of people go between New York and London for quick trips. BA even has business class-only flights between City of London airport and NYC.
Yeah, the stock "options" were a joke, but it's decent experience and pay for entry level, which they hire in droves.

I only recommend working there to people if they're right out of college and not in an engineer role, since their MUMPs/Cache stack is pretty dated.
I wondered for a long time about the anniversary thing, then actually went and did some analysis on it.

This may be a stupid question, but can't you sell long term value in current markets? Isn't that what Amazon has done successfully? The only thing that seems to differentiate long term vs. short term companies is how much they care culturally about their stock price day to day, and the kinds of investors they court. Is it impossible to go public with a longer term vision these days, or is it just harder?

I have been doing a LOT of work on forms in React and Redux, and have been putting all of my ideas into a library called React-Redux-Form: https://github.com/davidkpiano/react-redux-form

The premise is simple - your model state shouldn't be intertwined with your form state, and everything should be "vanilla Redux" -- that is, everything related to form state should be represented by actions and reducers, and not by some black-box API hidden inside a decorated component.

Version 1.0 is still in the works, but promises a lot of things such as making it MUCH simpler to get up and running with configuring the Redux store for forms, and also making smart optimizations that greatly improve performance.

My goal is to make forms as easy to implement as it was in Angular, and offer full flexibility to the developer to handle forms of various complexity.
Nearly everyone had a beatable blackjack, counting deposit bonuses, back in the day. They called it "Casino Whoring" or "Bonus Whoring." I started my poker bankroll that way and later moved into professional poker (HUSNGs).

I turned $100 into approximately $3500 with the whoring. My expected value was something like 2900--I got lucky enough to beat the table in addition to earning the bonus.

Many of them were something like "deposit $200, get $200 bonus, have to bet $xxxx before you can withdrawal" with approximately a $190 expected value if playing $1/hand blackjack, perfect play.

I didn't think it was any surprise to the casinos that they were beatable--I assumed they just relied on them as a loss leader.
In business or first, I wouldn't describe trans-Pacific flights as "hellish." More like long and boring. But you almost certainly get into range issues with supersonic on those routes. A longer non-stop flight in a premium class is probably going to be preferable to a flight that has to stop in, say, Anchorage to refuel.
it's the same basic idea as with the xkcd style 4-word passphrase. it's easy to remember four words.

Yes, after looking at code that reads

int i = (STDIN);

when one intends to read a variable from standard input, I couldn't agree more.
Only if speed actually pays off. With fuel as expensive as it is (and if it's too cheap, just tax it some more), that won't necessarily be the case. And if it is, then getting people to fly less on economy flights is a better and economically more efficient way to reduce fuel consumption. Set an environmental goal and let the market sort out the process. Don't regulate the process itself.
So let me get this straight, from what I gather in the abstract, I can't consider ANY information on my VPS to be secure? They can extract private keys, how long does it take? Can I mitigate this somewhat by using shorter duration keys for TLS with automatic renewal? Does this have implications for clients that process CC data?
I think you are right that the article is light on evidence for why the TPP is bad for consumers and could have used some links to sources to expand upon it more. But the article seems mainly geared to letting people who already care passionately about the issue know that Google is not on their side.

It doesn't matter if Google says they care about fair use or the expansion of copyright while throwing their support behind an agreement that does not.
Even if this is to be expected, it's worth making a fuss about it because that's really the only weapon the public has at this point.
Of course corporations care about their interests without taking only account negative externalities, but naming and shaming is a way consumers have to make them care about those externalities.

In my experience, there's plenty of sales people and middle managers posting stuff and commenting. Usually platitudes and mangled quotes from rich people, plus submissions of their company's marketing blogs.
TS connectors were literally designed for telephone switchboards that are connected and disconnected on a near-constant basis. Consumer audio companies happily sell plastic garbage in fancy colors without strain relief, any compensation for compression and wear on the cable itself, and with low-grade connectors... but these are solved problems in the professional world.

If you're a heavy user, buy a cable intended for professional use. As an example, look at these:

https://www.amazon.com/Mogami-Stereo-Cable-3-5mm-Neutrik/dp/...

http://www.markertek.com/product/msc1-5mzmz/mogami-audio-cab...

Mogami specializes in entertainment-grade cable which is often certified to be waterproof, crushproof, oil resistant, UV resistant, etc. The connectors used are from Neutrik, who are also highly reputable. In the event that something goes wrong the parts are usually hand-repairable, and often you can find cable/connector assemblies carrying lifetime warranties. Other reputable names to look for are Belden and Carnare on the cable side and Switchcraft on the connector side.

That's a good analogy, because both the TPP and TTIP show extremely small gains to the GDP - and even those gains will only come after a decade or so:

http://www.wsj.com/articles/study-projects-tpp-will-provide-...

https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160127/08075533442/yet-m...

So even if it Google did manage to pass some small clause in there that's of great help to them, it doesn't mean that's a good trade deal overall.

Big Pharma could make the same argument, that TPP will be great for them! But terrible for citizens if it bans generics, and so on.

That's why overall you may get very little gains if at all with the TPP, but a few big corporations could see huge gains from this deal (to the expense of everyone else).
