skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
There are so many other avenues where US developers are engaged in. Please feel free to correct me, but I feel developers involved in Hacker rank are like a relatively small data set.

Another traditional powerhouse India isn't anywhere near the top because their developers are busy working for the well known consulting demons.

It'll be interesting if Hacker rank publishes information equating rank to number of developers belonging to each country, experience level and so forth..

This is good information, but I feel it doesn't offer the complete picture.
Why do you offer the software so cheap?

Even the developer hour to just evaluate this tool would be more expensive already for any company.

Imo: push the price to somewhere between 299 and 599 - maybe make the invoice feature the premium reason

Startup Grind | Senior Software Engineers | US/Canada REMOTE (or onsite in Redwood City, CA)

Startup Grind is supporting, connecting and educating millions of entrepreneurs each month. We are looking to bring on two additional engineers to our team of 20 - likely one with focus on UI (strong proficiency of HTML/CSS/ReactJS desired) and the other person for the backend (experience with Python/Django required) to help us build the tools to make our local groups successful and the global community tick. We would love to talk with experienced software craftspeople who know what it's like to work on large software applications in startups and distributed teams.

If you think this would be a great fit, please reach out to abendig at startupgrind dot com.
Very true. Seed versus growth versus pre-IPO versus PE have very different goals and volatility profiles. It may be more accurate to compare a16z to a moderately leveraged bet on an S&P, NASDAQ or tech index.

It also can take a fund or two more to really tell. The strength of places like KPCB is their performance over time. One of the few asset classes where the best persist over long periods.
Not supported, "supported". Big difference.
The companies know what they're getting into.

Also, one of the advantages of the GPL (I think there are disadvantages too, but that's another post) is that all those companies can contribute without the fear that one of them will 'defect' and run off with things, perhaps hiring up enough developers to make their fork the 'best' one.

> There are a ton of project management tools out there, why buy Codetree? Was there something specific about the business that stood out to you?

We believe that in big markets like project management there's lots of room for many successful companies (depending on your definition of success). We know and like the issue tracking space since my partners and I have been devs for 15y each.

But why Codetree? Because it was available, is a good product, and was the right price :) It's hard to find the intersection of those things and we looked at different businesses for about a year.

> I imagine when you buy a business you believe there are things you can do that will increase the value of the business. What are the top things you think you'll be able to do that were not already being done?

Ultimately the goal is to help software teams make and ship better software. Right now the things we're focusing on are:

1. Talk to customers and improve the product. A good product matters, especially with developer tools.

2. Build out new marketing channels. Without new signups, it doesn't matter how good our product is :)
If you have a loved on suffering from the disease, your first inclination, like mine, might be: come on FDA! Hurry up and get this in my hands.

But if you dive deeper you realize that they have not demonstrated cognitive benefits. In other words, it might not do anything. So what, you say, I still want to try it.

Then you look and you see that 40 people (roughly a quarter) had to leave the trial because of fluid build up in their brains, that could cause brain bleeds.

No cognitive benefits and brain bleeds would be a sad outcome.
Zenbooth | San Francisco | On-site part time or full time | Business development and Woodworkers.

Zenbooth is the first company in the US that makes privacy phone booths for open offices. (See a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuxHTm_p2FI)

There's so much demand from startups for our product we get customers from job ads like this! We've profitable, and this is a great opportunity to switch from software to physical products.

We're making our first two hires:

1. Business development / ops - building processes and organizing for the whole customer lifecycle - from lead capture to post-delivery.

2. Phone booth carpentry / "engineering" ;). You’ll be building these phone booths and helping improve the production process and tooling. Previous enthusiasm for woodworking and the ability to lift 80lb+ is required for this role.

We've just moved into a large workshop in SF that you'll work from.

This is not what the hype is making it out to be.

The average monthly indian mobile monthly revenue is b/w 150-200rs ($2-$3). The hype is that a user gets a GB of data for Rs 50 (~$1).

But if you look deeper, that's just the rate of charge/GB. The initial plan is still Rs 150 per month (for a paltry 0.3GB of data with free voice). This is better than the current market, but only marginally, not substantially or revolutionary. Heck that fact that the next big plan is Rs 500, and nothing between the basic and the next big plan shows they expect a significant number of users to jump onto the Rs 500 plan. [1]

What's going to happen is the 6 other network providers will huddle in their respective HQs and come out with equivalent plans within a fortnight.

But definite kudos to Jio for stirring up the market a little.

Tesorio (YC S'15) (https://www.tesorio.com) | Burlingame, CA | ONSITE

* Senior Backend Engineer: build microservices to interconnect accounting software & work on our webapp's backend (Python/Django)

* Senior Frontend Engineer: work with React, ES6, Gulp, and Webpack to build a B2B financial UX that users love

* Senior Full-Stack Engineer: all of the above :)

* Apply to any of these roles here: https://jobs.lever.co/tesorio

Tesorio is a Y Combinator-backed startup that is interconnecting finance systems between companies to create a world where B2B invoices & payments are automated & simple.

Imagine a world where B2B invoices & payments are automated and require no human interaction. That's where the world is headed and we want to be the ones to make it happen. It does not make sense that companies have whole departments dedicated to this workflow with the technology available today.

You'll help us build algorithms to determine a company's utility for cash, integrations between accounting systems so they talk directly to one another, help us build the next generation of B2B payments that is as simple as PayPal/Venmo, and more. We raised a seed round led by top investors including First Round Capital (Uber + Warby Parker), Floodgate Capital (Twitter + Lyft), Fuel Capital (Layer + CoreOS), Red Swan (Coinbase + Buffer), Slow Ventures (early Facebook team), Hillsven Capital (founders of Ariba), and Paul Buchheit (creator of Gmail, YC Partner).

Most recently, I was working at a fintech startup as a full stack developer on a small engineering team. We ran a Backbone SPA connected to a Flask backend on Heroku with some redis mixed in. I learned the code base quickly and grew into a leadership role. I'd like to leverage my existing experience focused on backend api work as well as explore more of a frontend focus. I am a self-taught developer with three years of experience and a background in mathematics and statistics at the master's level.
Actually they specifically plan to load astronauts before fueling begins. If they're in the capsule the launch escape system (LES)[1] can propel them away from any on-pad disaster; not so if they're still walking across the gantry.

I run a small Python dev shop (Django mainly, some Flask), working mostly with startups and small companies (web apps, REST APIs, misc bits of Python all around).

I used OpenBSD CURRENT on the Thinkpad Carbon X1 for 3 months earlier this year, and my experience has been that hardware support is not a problem for a "knowledge worker" (I am assuming you don't need things like HDMI audio for that).

The main problem is software that is outdated, unavailable, or buggy on non-Linux platforms.

I came crawling back to Linux in the end.

>The AH model isn't venture in the sense of betting on very early stage companies.
AH seems to invest huge amounts in much later stage companies.

But that funding at later stages may have been happenstance rather than deliberate strategy.

For example, a16z looked at AirBnb during the Series A fundraising. But they decided to pass on it, partly because Marc Andreesen didn't believe AirBnb's trust model for strangers in personal homes would work. When a16z looked at AirBnb again during their Series B fundraising, they invested. Marc has been on record saying they regret missing the earlier Series A round because it would have made them a lot more money.

a16z also made a late 2010 investment in Facebook but some observers thought they did it for "logo shopping". In other words, observers said it wasn't a late investment timing on purpose -- it was because they were a new firm (2009) and they wanted to add immediate credibility to their portfolio.

It seems they do want to catch companies early if they can.[1] On the other hand, I remember Ben Horowitz saying they deliberately held back on an Oculus Rift and let another VC take the lead (the risk). They later invested in the subsequent round.

It doesn't seem like there's any rigid single strategy there with regards to timing.

It probably won't be that bad. A few more mentions of currently illegal activities and products (like certain types of drugs). But given that Twitter and GNU Social and other services are already pretty anonymous (at least in not having to identify yourself with a real name) and moderated pretty poorly, I suspect it wouldn't be much worse than that.

For anyone not following the current equivalent of Silk Road or the likes, you probably won't be seeing much that's different to normal Twitter type services.
Academia.edu | Full Stack Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Onsite

Academia.edu is addressing two problems:

- Open access. The goal here is to put every academic pdf ever written on the internet, available for free.

- The reproducibility crisis. It has emerged over the last few years that 65-90% of the scientific literature is not reproducible. What this means is that if you try to reproduce the experiments described in a paper, 65-90% of the time you will not get the same findings. This is known as "the reproducibility crisis"

With regard to open access, Academia allows academics to upload papers to Academia, and make them freely available. Academics have uploaded about 14 million pdfs to Academia.edu, and upload about 1 million a month. About 30 million people come to Academia each month to access and share papers.

With regard to reproducibility, we think the way to solve the reproducibility crisis is to build a new peer review system that (a) crowd-sources peer review from the academic community and (b) provides credit to material that journals don't publish (data-sets, code, replications, failed replications).

Academia has built a recommendation system which is the basis of our approach to (a) and (b). We realize that addressing reproducibility is a huge challenge. We need mission-driven engineers to come and help us. We have raised $28 million from Tencent, Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world."

We are looking to hire full stack software engineers. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, React. Our office is in downtown San Francisco.

Bending Spoons | Milan (Italy) | Software Engineer/QA Tester | http://www.bendingspoons.com | Full time, Visa, Onsite

Bending Spoons is a fast-growing tech company focused on building and marketing mobile applications. We think, create, and market our own apps. We're young (3 years of activity, average age 27 years old), but we've achieved explosive growth: the apps that we've invented, developed, and published have been downloaded more than 40 million times, and millions of people use them every week. We are currently looking for a QA Tester and for exceptional Software Engineers to join our team of backend and iOS engineers. Our backend stack consists for the most part of Python, node.js, MongoDB, and Redis. Our iOS work is every bit as extensive and challenging as the backend one, if not more.

We pursue extreme flexibility, and this requires everyone to be able to morph and adapt to new roles as needed. Hence, you may be exposed to a number of other areas, such as App Store and data analysis, UX and UI design, and several more. We’ll teach you what you don’t know, as long as you’re eager to learn it.

More information and application form at http://bendingspoons.com/careers.html (Please mention that you found out about us on HN in your cover letter.)

> Scripts from the public Internet shouldn't be able to access private or local networks as a matter of policy.

I agree, and it's encouraged some pretty stupid practices where it is used for things other than espionage or malicious intent.

Lenovo has a driver detection / update tool on their website, to run it you download a helper application that opens up a HTTP endpoint on localhost, then their website uses it to scan your system and (hopefully) shuts it down afterward. Why was this done in the first place, forcing users to download and run an executable (which has to be restarted each time you scan) that has no UI except for the web browser tab you already have open is dumb.
It's amazing how far we've come that one of the selling points on the NeXT box over the traditional Windows 3.11/DOS development machine at the time was that the NeXT box didn't lock up or crash constantly.
