Canoneo, great way to subtly market your product. This looks like a new site (domain from May 2016).

Kudos on this very slick move. Instead of trying to advertise yourself on HN, you just used your product as intended, with content specifically suited to the audience on HN. With this, you drive very organic traffic that proves the value of your tool to people who have never heard of you. Loving it!

I would call this a no-launch.

Plus you will probably make several hundred to several thousand dollars on the Amazon referrals! Great move, I am definitely adding the no-launch to my playbook...

Panasas - www.panasas.com | Pittsburgh, PA | full time | ONSITE

Positions : Build and Release Engineer/Architect

Product : Parallel file system with HW and SW components. We are building the next generation of product and are looking to transition away from much of our legacy infrastructure and tools. This is a senior level position in the organization and will be responsible for working both as an individual contributor as well as strategically identifying, planning and deploying significant changes to the existing infrastructure.

If you are interested: email careers@panasas.com

Interviewing process: HR will screen then on to me then on to a phone screen (with me) to determine to bring you in for the 4-6 hrs meeting with other Engineers and Architects putting you through technical competency assessment. There will be a practical assessment (hands on a laptop in the interview) process that requires no prep (other than 5-10 years of experience).
Given a choice, I would name it PostSQL.

Site Reliability Engineering - Uber (SF, NYC, Europe)

I work on the SRE team at Uber. There are so many roles at a big company, but if you want to work on the most challenging problems and the systems that can't fail SRE is it. SRE at Uber means helping to design, implement and run our most critical infrastructure. So we look for folks who are excited about both writing software and running systems (ideally both).

A few neat projects we are working on right now:
- Mesos on AWS/GCP/Azure/etc
- Distributed systems for Dispatching and Calculating Surge Pricing
- Release engineering systems for super reliable deployment of code and features
- Fault injection and Chaos systems for testing distributed systems

Feel free to reach out to me directly: tomc at uber dot com

I'd say TOML [0] is the best because it can be a very simple key=value structure, but also supports very detailed, nested structures. It has a 1-to-1 correspondence with JSON, but is more friendly for configuration (comments are a huge help!)

I wouldn't discount the guy completely and frame him as the "bad guy" here. Most of the ad sales industry guys are very similar to this guy. They operate in a realm going from deal to deal, sometimes only a single deal separates them from extreme success and utter destruction. Sadly, this guy seems to have a grouping on the negative side of things and might have been just starting out in the ads business himself. I would have even given him another chance, after he's been humbled a bit. Just make sure you have cash up front when dealing with these kinds of people -- they shouldn't be discounted immediately, rather just treat them like an untrustworthy child.

Just goes to show you shouldn't bank on any one deal coming through. As the management of a company, its your job to have not only one deal in the works, but preferably multiple deals, so called "deal flow" or "sales/prospect pipeline". You should be in constant prospect mode, and never give any one prospect any significant portion of your time. It's not like it takes a lot of effort to just talk to people. I realize its time consuming, but what we're you guys doing in between talking to this guy? You should have been working on other deals. That way if one doesn't work out, you can rely on the others and leverage them until your own bullshit wears out.

This is the proverbial case of "all eggs in one basket".
Give a short answer and let them figure it out. Either they really don't need the details (maybe they can find them on their own, maybe they just need confirmation, maybe the details really aren't relevant, etc), or they suck at asking questions, in which case they'll learn to ask better ones.

"So then you may ask, why aren't we living in the future next to a low-mass star?" says Loeb.

"One possibility is we're premature. Another possibility is that the environment around a low-mass star is hazardous to life."

Wow that is some hardcore "anthropic" logic. Is the question really well-posed enough to lead to the latter conclusion?
According to the article the IOC gets $1.375bn per year in revenues, before costs, and will see about 10,200 athletes competing in the next Olympics

Floyd Mayweather made a quarter of that by himself last year... after everyone else including his opponents, the venues, the promoters and the administrators had taken their cut.

Floyd Mayweather didn't make all this money because boxing doesn't have its share of pimps. He made it because his performance is hugely more valuable (and more effectively commercially exploited[1]) than any individual Olympic sport, including the Olympic boxing he used to participate in.

[1]not entirely the IOC's fault: I can't see pay-per-view Olympics working out profitably for Usain Bolt, never mind the participants in the sailing or archery heats

"due diligence", "due diligence", "due diligence"

I mean, I know it's a term, but the literal meaning... If they had been diligent where/when diligence was due, all of this was evitable.

Also, they should really do some legal action on the guy. Not because of revenge, but to try to save others from future actions of the con man. Public shaming is just not so stylish.

I have held various types of visas during my time here. One of the perks of Thailand, immigration-wise, is that while it can be a hassle (visa runs, bureaucracy, or both), there is always some way to stay here legally for as long as you want.

You can get a tourist visa in your home country and then just show up. If you decide you want to stay for a long time you should start researching your options early on and developing connections with people who live here. This is true in any country--connections with locals make everything, including visas, a lot easier.

I don't think you (the viewer) could earn anything meaningful in that system. Afaik adsense gives the website owner profits on the order of ~0.01 cent / ad view. So "a small percentage" of that would give the viewer basically nothing.

also "eyeball usage" sounds about as dystopian as "human resources" :D
You're right, companies vary. As I said, there was an internal discussion, the conclusion of which was "Jacques's referrals from HN count".

Why would they tell employees? They're not going to be held personally responsible for not paying them; it's the fault of a mailbox in Delaware.
I've lived in Germany before, and my advice is to try to speak and listen to the language as much as you possibly can.

Don't know the word for something in German? Just throw in the English word and say the rest in German. Will the person you are talking to understand what you are saying? Sometimes they will and sometimes they won't. The point is to try to speak as much German as you possibly can.

I found it helpful to make a list of words I needed to say, but couldn't. Then I'd look them up and put them on flash cards until I learned them.

Pay attention to the words other people are using when they speak to you. Sometimes you'll catch on to what the word mean without having to look them up and other time you'll need to look them up. I learned so much just from listening to other people.

When you're speaking German (or any other language you're learning), you will make mistakes and you will feel like a fool. The most important part is to not let that stop you. Keep making mistakes and keep making stupid blunders, and learn from those mistakes. Anyone who isn't afraid to make mistakes and look stupid will learn a lot faster than someone who is.

I was talking to some German students who were recounting some particularly embarrassing language mistakes an American exchange student had made. They did think it was pretty funny, but they also really liked and respected him for trying really hard to speak German, even if he did make mistakes. This same student eventually ended up speaking very good German, and I'm pretty sure it was because he was willing to continue trying despite making lots of mistakes.
I'll post to this thread because this is very relevant for the hiring companies. Hunter and Schmit did a meta-study of 85 years of research on hiring criteria. [1]

There are three attributes you need to select for to identify performing employees in intellectual fields.

- General mental ability (Are they generally smart)
Use WAIS or if there are artifacts of GMA(Complex work they've done themselves) available use them as proxies.

- Work sample test. NOT HAZING! As close as possible to the actual work they'd be doing. Try to make it apples-to-apples comparison across candidates. Also, try and make accomidations for candidates not knowing
your company shibboleth.

- Integrity. The first two won't matter if you hire a sociopath.

This alone will get you > 65% hit rate [1], and can be done inside of three hours. There's no need for day long (or multi-day) gladiator style gauntlets.

[1] http://mavweb.mnsu.edu/howard/Schmidt%20and%20Hunter%201998%...
Why the requirement for German language? Your work seems interesting and I'd be qualified except my German language skill is "embarrassing tourist" not "fluent".

people dont understand how much this was happening to uber. Police were actively stop uber drivers and fining them for operating as illegal taxi while not stoping any didi kuaidi drivers.
