In 2011 I did a Show HN for a project called StorageRoom (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2616041) and got some interesting feedback.

Five years, a name change and a complete rewrite later Contentful (https://www.contentful.com) has raised a Series B, got 70+ employees and customers ranging from Jack in the Box, Nike to Urban Outfitters.

It's been a wild ride, and it doesn't look like it's going to be over anytime soon :)
So, how do you find such people?
According to Google, there's a place called Pfefferhaus in Berlin, all things hot.

Some modeling work I've done suggests that transmission of hospital infections is possible even at fairly high levels of hand hygiene and no systematic bad actors.

Just to clarify, AL = Albania, not Alabama (U.S. State) right?

I've heard contrary things about Upwork from people in the U.S. saying they didn't really land nice contracts until after they went above $50-$60/hr gigs. Not sure if it only works for people located in the U.S., but with your English skills, I doubt you'd run into the same issues as a lot of non-U.S. based devs.
IME, having competed undergraduate studies in economics, it has a huge indoctrination blind spot in that as typically taught, the theories are presented as hard rules and students generally aren't exposed to more than one economic theory in depth. Study time is spent in a performance of mathematical theatre, extrapolating broad notions of how society behaves from simplified models. Some of it has useful explanatory power - especially micro economic theories that have plenty of experimental backing - but just as often there is a design constraint of "our options as policy makers are x, y, and z because those are what are in our model." And this is not probed so actively at the undergraduate level - to do the homework and pass the tests you have to answer "yes, of course z is the best policy, because our textbook model says so." Which, I suppose, is like high school history and its tendency to use a singular narrative of cause and consequence, but with some symbols thrown in. It is deceptively universalizing.
If Caucasian engineers at an American company created fried chicken, sumo wrestler and sushi filters for specific ethnic target markets they'd be accused of ethnic stereotypes and racism.
Google's youtube group has long been the source of much fsckery. They really don't seem to understand that every time they mess with the site, people's livelihoods are on the line. Subscription is now more as suggestion to the algorithm than a command? A couple thousand people just got screwed. Channels like ChannelAwesome and others get their monetization disabled for weeks with no explanation? Doug Walker, and a host of others, just lost a good chunk of income. And most recently, The Purge has just knocked thousands of channels back hundreds of thousands of subs, with many people unsubbed for no goddamn reason, with barely a comment from youtube HQ. Do they even care anymore?

And if they can't keep the core of their service working, is it any wonder that they screw up an app that they probably aren't focusing that many resources on?
Very good, but probably atypical, too. Our venture has been fortunate in that we've gotten good word-of-mouth and have acquired a great set of Customers, many of whom have been with us for very long engagements (10+ years, some of them).
Because that's what I read from another developer that reached that ceiling since ~4 years on the site. And kinda hard for people to accept higher hourly rates there. I have never been to US (had clients from there). As with ~all online stuff you pay taxes at the country where you have your residence. Sometimes, they may hire you and the company pays the taxes locally (which is complex and happens rarely)
Patents: The Next Open Access Fight
Where do a lot of them tend to end up if they jump ship, and where to they tend to end up if they don't have the foresight to jump ship and are fired?
Web browsers have [generally] two settings for saving files: prompt the user, or save automatically. In either case they [generally] save to a "Downloads" folder rather than the home directory. So we can expect whatever happens to happen in the Downloads folder.

Wget downloads to the current directory by default, which is always the home directory by default unless you change directories first, and Wget almost never prompts the user for where or how to save the file. (I think i've seen Wget give a prompt once under a particularly strange set of circumstances, but that was while mirroring a huge complex site)

As an example of how this changes based on interpretation, a while back there was a "bug" introduced by systemd. It was mounting a logical filesystem read-write, which caused [in some circumstances] whole systems to be bricked due to a bug in some firmware drivers. Systemd's policy was "our software is working fine!" and refused to fix or prevent the behavior, even though the fix would not have negatively affected systemd's operation at all. In the current case, Wget sees the behavior as potentially dangerous and has thus fixed it to prevent people getting fucked over by unexpected behavior.

Another way to look at it: if this was expected, no user would ever download a file without the "-O" option, because to do so would potentially put them at risk.
I have no idea, every time someone in the company talks about moving anything to the cloud except our off-site backups and MAYBE a DR plan I cringe hard. The vast majority of our infrastructure is fixed, we have a bunch of MSSQL databases, Exchange, AD, Laserfiche, VMWare VDI, our IBM i running our billing software, and a bunch of production application servers. We don't have any benefit to the "flexibility" of the cloud, we rarely spin up new servers as our load is very static, and it's all internal. We have millions of dollars invested in our current IT infrastructure and that is chump change compared to what we'd pay to move to Azure/AWS/Google for no real reason.

Hell, I have physical hardware in my home (a Lenovo TD340 running XenServer and a HP ProLiant ML10 running FreeNAS) for my personal / small project use because for the upfront investment cost me as much as 1 month of the same capacity on the cloud, especially factoring in my 14TB RAW / 7TB available storage sitting in my SA120 enclosure and having 72GB of RAM between them.

The cloud is great for really small things where a $5-20/mo VPS from Linode or DigitalOcean will do you just fine, but once you get past that if you aren't running a small steady-state with the need to burst on-demand it's just a money-pit.
Even the raspberry pi ARM cpu is slave to the VideoCore GPU, as the GPU (and its corresponding binary blob) is what initializes first on powerup and only later does it boot up the ARM CPU.
Much nicer article, thanks. Maybe the link and title could be changed to that? Even as clickbait titles go, "Holy Grail" is quite bad.
It's not just about money. Someone who is severely mentally ill isn't going to able to perform tasks, let alone function without a caregiver.

Living on the streets is very dangerous and stressful. Somewhere around 25% of homeless people have traumatic brain injuries. Not the sort of people you can put in a cubical to do data entry.
How Anti-Paparazzi Clothing Works
But it was well documented that you shouldn't lift that one rod above point X. Maybe the message didn't sink into the guy, maybe he screwed up, they even wonder if he committed suicide. Its big message was to eliminate all possible single points of failure, especially ones controlled by fallible humans, even at the cost of increased complexity.

Aside from subjective or "trust me, this works!" commentary, what does the data say about getting replies from investors? A better title for this would be "How to Email An Early Stage Investor."

It would be interesting to mine emails from well-known investors and see what the data shows for first emails from individuals who were ultimately funded.
Most used, and thus cheapest, transistor BC 639 is 100MHz (or 50MHz, i had a beer). Cheapest MOSFET is much faster then that. The Megaprocesor is 20kHz and the creator clearly states that it is for educational purposes.

While on that topic; i will read the docs and watch the videos for educational purposes. ;)
Well, I guess at some level, I think NSLs violate the spirit of the law. Thus, it is worth examining the issue.

I particularly like the above structure because it separates the hiring of the firm from the disclosure of the NSL to the firm. In fact, you might choose to never actually disclose the NSL to the hired firm! Since the firm doesn't necessarily know the reason they're being engaged, they're not making a disclosure either.

I imagine an organization like the EFF could make it a policy to publicly disclose when they've been hired or terminated by a client.

I find it all very interesting...
I was, and still am extremely grateful for my microeconomics prof: he is a contrarian (http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canadian-economist-never-k...) that forced us to reason on a wide class of non-societal examples from first principles whenever possible. As far as being politicized goes, macroecon seems to be a bit more plagued than micro, mod any "homo economicus" fallacies.

He also writes stuff like this: https://www.amazon.com/Institutional-Revolution-Measurement-... which showed me how effective economics can be for historical and legal analysis.

The natural sciences have a difficult time mapping onto human concerns bar whatever you get out of engineering.

These are too subjective, localized and of differing "seriousness" to be worth it. Timezones are actually objective and valuable information that should be standardized.
It's worked pretty well for citizens of other first-world countries who have practically zero chance of dying from gun violence. So, yeah, I'd say it works great long-term.
Just want to say to those of you who don't have great communication skills, and know it. This recipe pretty much applies to all cold emails, or any email with a party that you want something from and don't know well.

Job interviews, consulting cold emails, VC, someone who has the keys to your destiny and does not know it yet.

The most important things are, in my mind:

1. If possible, make the email actionable for the other party.

2. Don't waste the other party's time.

3. The more you write, the more opportunity you can shoot yourself in the foot. Remove sentences you don't need.

This has been my ticket to opening new doors so many times. Make it easy for people to help you.
That largely depends on the depth of the engagement.

Reading Das Kapital should be an exercise in critical thinking, regardless of one's political persuasion. For example, where in the software industry is the labor theory of value a reasonable model? Where is it not reasonable? Why? Answering these questions requires what any reasonable person would call critical thinking.

Conversely, hearing a bunch of passionate lectures about worker's rights movements is considerably less enlightening...
Don't. Working for other people is always a scam. You will never get paid what you're worth. You will never get the respect you deserve, and you will be fired or laid off for no reason. Employment is about theater, not about production.

Self-employment is the way to go.
This is becoming an issue in Sacramento as they continue to shut down public restrooms. There's is talk of setting up port-a-potties with full time attendants, so we will see how that goes.
Yes, AL the country. Some(many?) projects require your residence to be in US, which I don't have.

Of course projects get better and client treats/respects you better the more $ you get.

What I mean, if you go above certain $, then US/CA/AU is your only employer. EU is a cheap client. It's why they'll never have a "San Francisco" (other reasons being not homogen market + no investors).

ps: It's strange for people to mention 2-letter-country-codes with states and not countries.
I found it somewhat useful or similar to asides and enlarged quotations. I for one am fine with publishers trying to experiment with the creative display of their work al la New York Times so long as they don't paywall it off. free content is free content.
New Visual trigger for Facebook post type
Like others, I prefer the content-centric look of East Asian sites.

Many highly trafficked Japanese (and Korean) web sites are model for brevity and efficiency.

Compare:

http://www.sankei.com/

vs

http://www.yahoo.com/

vs

http://www.naver.com/

Sankei site has so much more content, yet its HTML file is only 38kb. Naver site is 97kb. Yahoo's html file is 614kb.

Do View-Source on these sites, and it doesn't take long to figure out what a joke Yahoo site is.

And the real joke is Japanese and Korean web developers make 1/2 or 1/3rd of what Yahoo guys make.
Couldn't an NSL force the company to start retaining that information though? You may not have past data but you can certainly collect future information.
Yes, so fast genius. Was there any war-crime suspected, accused, or even hinted here? No.

The Hatch Act prohibits the use of government resources, including email accounts, for political purposes. The Bush administration stated the RNC accounts were used to prevent violation of this Act.[2][26]
I love when companies have a delete account button, I'm not sure about conjoined data but if I delete my account I expect to be expunged or anonymized in a reasonable time and gradually forgotten as backups grow old. I have deleted my account on lots of websites and would probably delete 200 more today if they had that facility just for the sheer unlikeliness that I will need them again.

Think about how many 100s of websites you must have registered on by now... all those idle accounts just waiting to be sold, hacked, leaked. At least one of those sites probably has "/accounts.txt" just sitting there, their first foray into database driven sites.

If I start another company that requires user registration it will definitely have a delete account button.
I think you overestimate city workers.
WRT CS, my comment was meant to be descriptive, not prescriptive. FWIW I agree with you, but what I said is largely true of CS curriculum in the US.

I'm not sure whether I agree with you regarding math. I think pre-requisites should reflect required knowledge accurately, and should leave required maturation to the student and his/her instructor. Requiring the calculus sequence prior to courses that contain no calculus strikes me as a silly historical accident, for example.
I've used TLA+ professionally in a previous role and found it useful. I'd agree with the sentiments in the GG discussion:

1. A repl would be useful.

2. Better documentation for the individual tools, allowing other editors and toolchains to hook them more easily.

I would say that I found the TLC model checker extremely valuable, but learning what subset of TLA+ it can actually handle (and structuring your specifications appropriately) takes time.

Not sure about enums - seems like something PlusCal would do (if it doesn't already), but I would leave TLA+ alone, I think its support for sets is sufficient.

You could try reading the YC article, which says, "I’ve been intrigued by the idea for a while, and although there’s been a lot of discussion, there’s fairly little data about how it would work."

It's clearly an experiment to get real data about basic income, which has not been done before. Even if basic income is not viable, having data will be useful.
I agree...

I have to say, in the area of emoticon designs, Kakaotalk is still the best.

I don't see any problem with passionate lectures about worker's rights movement. In college I also heard passionate lectures about the marvel of free markets, and had to endure them. Different professors have different persuasions and that is all right, they're not trying to fool anyone. It is up to each one to form his or her personal views of the world, and use the information they get from history and philosophy to enlarge these views.
Man Builds a Room-Sized ‘Megaprocessor’ for Playing Tetris
The US military is a highly sophisticated war machine but ultimately it requires resources to support its operations. No military can ignore the cold hard facts of logistics, something that many armies have done to their own demise. If there is no continental US to provide the food, materiel or the money to pay for it, I doubt the machine could last very long.
The main reason that options are handed out is to compensate for below-market salaries, and the main reason salaries are below market is that the company wants to increase its runway. Some specific valuations or offers warrant cynicism, but remember that any startup with negative cash flow (even successful ones with near-market salaries) should be giving out equity to keep their salaries costs down.
Are you in tech? If you're skilled it's relatively easy - just find a good employer, with 5 star rating on glassdoor. Consider non-profit as they usually have more flexibility at work.

Also, you may want to take some time to interview preparation, depending on your skills. Google the most common interview questions and see if you're in shape. If not, stay self-employed and improve your skills until you'll be able to land a really good job in a really good company.

Don't waste your time on looking for just something. Set a goal, find a good position, work for a year and then decide if it's for you.
The GTK project basically got taken over by a bunch of Gnome developers who care less and less about non-Gnome users. Many major non-Gnome projects haven't even managed to make the jump to GTK 3 yet (which also seems to be roughly where the project jumped the shark); Firefox only switched a few months ago and GIMP is still thinking about it.
During my first startup job, I took my freshly-minted history degree and explicitly treated the body of communications from engineering, marketing, sales, and the customer base as 'historical sources'. This helped me figure out what was actually going on, as opposed to what everyone was constantly yelling about, and I suspect that's why I was able to weasel out of that customer support gig into a product management position. In turn, that let me eventually make the connections and get the background knowledge necessary to start my own thing. So yes, I certainly don't consider my degree 'useless'.

Honestly, you want some humanities majors sprinkled around your organization for the different skill sets they bring. Rands' classic 'Russian Lit major' post says it better than I could:

How to Put the Right Amount of Pressure on Your Team
It is statistically likely that other life exists in the universe. At the same time it is reasonable that there should be just as many civilizations that are smarter than we are than those with less evolved capabilities. One could conclude that at least one of those billions of civilizations have developed super intelligent machines. Not one of those has visited our planet to wipe us out. Why? Perhaps we just aren't that important.
Out of curiosity, have you heard of project cybersyn? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn
No, it's simply that a threshold exists at which people will move, and it hasn't been reached yet. Like most of the problems discussed in the economic reality article, this is a tradeoff -- people have clearly decided that they are willing to put up with higher taxes to live in New York instead of New Jersey. But surely you can see that there is a point at which it won't be worth it for many people.
