We deal with this all the time at Turtle, as all devs on our network are remote. I'm not sure that advertising is the most direct way. If you're fully remote but paying well and have interesting work, you should have an easier time reaching great devs than companies who aren't remote (exceptions exist and some people do like nice space and free food).

Word-of-mouth is huge. Don't expect to get all your great devs at once. Hire a few, do right by them, and they'll help you reach others. Word-of-mouth has been our strongest referral engine yet.

Think about where your devs are most likely to be. Meetups? Conferences? Freelancer communities? Schools? Co-working spaces? Get there or find someone on the ground who can get to them.

A few tips:

(1) Be clear about why your work will be interesting. (2) Set up a process for flexibility (remote devs really value this). (3) Pay well. Mimic benefits in the markets you're hitting (example: if you're targeting Mountain View, consider giving your devs meals at restaurants serving better food than google).

Don't think of remote as a disadvantage (sounds a bit so from your post -- and from you jumping to advertising). Know that remote is seen as an advantage by money devs.

There are also a few remote job boards and twitter accounts but finding great devs within 20 miles or 2000 miles isn't all that different. Have interesting work, great process that doesn't get in the way, pay well, give freedom.

Right, but we’re talking about medical data. Which in lieu of further information I assume would be backed up in the same way as iCloud data. Unless there are statements to the contrary?
I think the problem with this analogy is that nobody would argue that a mall or theme park doesn't have the right to do this. Hell delivery services could also do this too without much fuss. If Taco Hell wants to pay DoorStash to get preferential treatment on deliveries or to be excmpted from delivery fees they wouldn't even have to be sneaky about it -- both companies would probably advertise it as a feature.

Yeah the prescription is PRN which means as needed i think. As well as helping me sleep it helps a bit taking the edge off some other issues. I've got a good relationship with my doc and he trusts my input. I've got good drug 'insight' apparently.

Dog sledding in Mongolia
While dogs have always played a crucial part in traditional Mongolian life, the idea of dog sledding is a relatively new idea. With temperatures reaching -40 degrees Celsius in winter, Ulaanbaatar is the coldest capital city in the world so making use of dog sleds to get around is both practical and great fun. Guided trips are the best way to experience this method of travel, which is an ideal way to see the landscape and wildlife as well as visit some of the nomadic locals. There is even the chance to cross frozen rivers and lakes to see Mongolia from a unique perspective.

Non-rational, then.

This is about as consequential as debating whether 1 is a prime number.
I've been thinking about trying to start a remote job board for devs in Canada. Would you be interested in posting there? The problem is, I'm not sure I could come up with enough jobs to keep it filled.
I haven't researched you, but a good piece of advice: Please be honest with your job advertisements. A friend of mine from college was telling me about his company's job posts one day, keep in mind they were a small company that makes b2b apps. They were looking for a guy that had 5 years of experience with the Swift programming language. When I questioned him about that, he suggested they wanted people who developed it at Apple...

what?

It's ok if your company or app isn't going to change the world. Seriously, that's fine. Even respectable! As a programmer myself, I just can't take companies seriously when they ask for the moon from someone, to write them a run-of-the-mill android app or whatever.

Okay, _this_ is the point where I'll take the intellectually lazy road and scream "LATE STAGE CAPITALISM" at that one.
I don't trust the government to do much of anything, and that includes invest money. Their stewardship of the social security trust fund has proven that I'm right (it's essentially full of IOU's). Anybody who believes that giving the government a few thousand dollars is better for their retirement than putting the same cash in a 401k hasn't taken a hard look at the government's performance to date.

TL;DL: I don't think that argument would fly with informed voters.
Death is not the ultimate side effect at all. The ultimate side effect I can think of would occur when these genetically modified humans reproduce - a permanently corrupted human genome with unforeseen, potentially species-ending side effects down the line. We don’t know what we don’t know yet.

As someone that has actively looked for remote jobs, I'm always surprised with how few companies that are open to remote actually publicize that information. They'll both not post jobs on remote hiring sites, and will say a role is based in New York, LA, etc. and only deep in the description will say that they encourage remote workers as well.

This is a major plus for certain folks, so I sometimes wonder if companies don't realize it's such a big selling point.

Thanks, you just reminded me of the cringe worthy commercial-inside-a-commercial that theme parks like to do on the radio now. xD
I'm not saying that you don't have a valid idea here, but that doesn't meet with my understanding of the term. I mean when I say I'm a hack piano player, I mean that i can get by but am not classically trained. When I say, this fix for my problem is a hack, I mean that it's not a well engineered solution, but rather that it's a functioning (albeit perhaps ugly) solution.

I can also say that it's a good thing that I didn't apply that when I started working with computers or I would never have gotten to the point where I understood the systems well enough to bend them to my purposes regardless of the intended behavior.

And that doesn't even touch the question of what "intended behavior" might mean for a biological entity which isn't "designed" in a way that has an intended use.
At every company, my own managers have exorcised far more blatant use of flex time than I've ever needed. If I'd ever received any guff (which I haven't) for my own needs, they would have gotten a deserved ear-full.
Mainly just that ravens are awesome, and velociraptors are awesome, so Q.E.D. Not really a scientific argument.

I do wonder how many Cretaceous critters were intelligent to the degree of ravens or dogs or primates, if any. We know they weren't as good at terraforming as we are, or there'd be some evidence in the strata. But the Cretaceous was longer than the current period, so I wouldn't be shocked if something we could call intelligent evolved.
Aren’t we? People are living longer than ever before. The issue is in determining effect size. I’m sure some amount of all those things you mentioned is “good” in some sense, but in what quantity and for how long?
The easiest way to talk about evolution is talking about purpose and desires as if it were a conscious being.

Of course this is not true but there just aren't words in English for the subtle and specific concepts involved. Correctly communicating the concepts with our clumsy language requires stumbling around and turning concise ideas into difficult to understand monsters.

When you are talking about evolutionary purpose, you're actually talking about the set of cause and effect pressures that lead to the effect.

The human tailbone is less purposeful than the hair because we can reason fairly easily that the loss of hair would decrease fitness in some very believable situations. The loss of a tailbone we can't seem to think of any fitness changes.

We have both hair and a tailbone. There _is_ evolutionary pressure to keep hair, although not extreme pressure as there's quite a bit of variability. There is not much evolutionary pressure to have or get rid of a tailbone. In order for there to be a change there has to be a path of mutations that survives and grows in a population. There probably A) isn't an easy path of mutations to get rid of the tailbone and B) isn't a meaningful cost to grow and maintain one. Those two things put together make lack of purpose. It's there, but doesn't really make a difference and isn't easily changed.
More or less, yes. If the fix works, it is a fix. If a fix doesn't work, it's not a fix.

I think it's fascinating to listen to baby boomers — not just in tech but in almost every realm — when they talk about the naive optimism of the '60s and '70s. Free love, hippy communes, drug use, tech-as-democratizing force and widespread anti-war sentiment eventually gave way to The War on Drugs, terrorism-fueled paranoia, #MeToo, income inequality and hypercapitalist tech monopolies.

They weren't just profoundly wrong about the future, a lot of them unwittingly helped to create what we have now. And to this day none of the boomers I've talked to seem to understand their role in that series of cultural and economic shifts. I'm generalizing a lot here, but it's a pattern I keep seeing when it comes to the legacy of that particular generation.

We need to talk about it more, and our government social safety net needs to be mended yeasterday. (It looks like it's going to get worse in the next three years, which is a travesty.)

There are times when I think about my death.

I sometimes think my suicide will be the next big life event. A event, if I had more financial resources, might be less painful, or anxiety producing?

I've been seeing a Psychiatrist for years.

From what I gather, from years of sitting eight feet from the man, suicide has two reasons; the chemical one, and even though it's debated, I can tell he still knows their are physical shifts in brain chemicals that cause depression. Although, he's not the cheerleader for SSRI's, and the older tricyclics he used to be; I don't think he's throwing the baby out with the cliche. I truly believe he feels they work in some patients.

And then there's the situationl one. I'm more in the sisuational camp most days. Life without enough funds is just difficult. Along--with taking care of a loved one who seems oblivious to how bad things could get.

My hope is society/government makes some changes to the latter(welfare--yes the sware word in some circles of privilege, and denial.) Right now we need places that people can camp/shit/wash-up without getting booked into a county jail. The Therapy can wait. We need places for the Homeless, and those on the brink of loosing everything.

When you blow a gasket, and don't have the understanding family; it's just so difficult out there. I doesn't need to be--in such a priveleged society? They might not have wonder drugs, but they can at least price the basics for the needy?

Society is looking for someone to blame for The Opioid Crisis. What if the problem wasen't do to careless script writing, but just depression? Depression brought on by the stress of living in this great/modern selfish economy?
Unfortunately, we don’t understand the exact mechanism for many (most?) available medication.

Correlation != causation. Which is why you need to do randomized testing and try and account for other causative factors. But if you give a bunch of people a medication and they stop dying, you can pretty much say this is valuable and start giving it to people.

Top 6 Best iTunes DRM Removals
The certs aren't bullshit, it's how they are used by companies that makes them appear to be bullshit.

What logically follows from my grandparent post is that people who can demonstrate vast experience shouldn't be asked to hold beginner certs. But companies do this all the time. It perpetuates a false impression that a beginner cert is actually aligned with advanced knowledge, which sets up people to complain about "bullshit certs" on internet forums.
This reads a bit like a troll from my perspective, but I could be wrong.

First of all, it's 2018. Don't pay for a cert unless you are trying to get into an industry you know nothing about really fast, in which case you will be hired by idiots or abusive exploitative companies (or governments). Studying certs is a good way to identify the processes/requirements of infosec, but paying for one is like paying for a certificate that says you learned how to cook. If someone talks to you about cooking they can tell if you have ever actually done it.

Second, forget working your way up, IT, tic tac toe. There's so much more to know that this really doesn't begin to explain. You want to know how technology is managed in a business, which is IT, but then there's the software dev and product dev and project management and admin, etc. Then you'll want to actually know how to not only develop software, but how to do it so it's secure. And then you'll want to know how to find software that isn't secure, and exploit it. And then you'll want to know how to prevent it. That is a metric shit ton of information. Experience and talking to people who know can help speed this up, and you can skip a lot of it for specific positions, but this certainly is more demanding than becoming a DBA.

Third, 2600 meetings are a great way to waste your time. I should know. I started one when I was 16. Conferences are great ways to network and find people hiring, and cheap if you can get a ticket to a "real" con and not a trade show for people expensing their trip to Vegas. But stay away from unprofessional egotists full of the lore of the elite hacker. And generally just stay off of IRC. There's so many snobby douchebags still holding on to their little cliques, it's generally a soul crushing waste of time to court them. Talk to people who work on teams at real companies, or know people who do.

Infosec is one of those jobs where you basically just have to learn what the processes are and have a firm grasp of all the concepts, and know the latest tools and trends, and you can get a job. (Come to think of it, that's every tech job...) So besides knowing the ins and outs of how businesses interact with technology (regulations, standards & practices) you also need to know how security firms do business (procedures, positions, services, etc).

But, yeah, don't go this route if you want a real career. Learn it from the bottom up by studying it like it was a job maintaining nuclear reactors, but keeping in mind it's basically just monkeys running tools and generating reports.
I suspect few HN users could provide sound logic to support their anonymous downvotes. Downvotes are good — at least it means there’s a chance someone eventually modulates their current viewpoint.

I would ask a lawyer versed in Delaware case law. I am sure they could give you some reasons. I'd imagine you could make a request for inspection on the grounds of independently (and confidentially) assessing the fair market value of your remaining options to determine if you want to purchase them. I mean that's really why you want to documents right? You want to see actual revenues, contracts etc... If the company balks then you might want to engage a law firm to handle your request (or get a group of shareholders together to do so). Also if the company is not forth coming then that's probably a red flag.
A lot of people have commented on native advertising being on the rise. Does the saturation of traditional ads mean we'll see more native advertising or will we adapt and better recognize native advertising too? Will we get more skeptical and untrustworthy of content in general?
>not a big one but bald women don't mate as successfully as women with nice hair do, on average

A trait being seen as attractive in a mate is another way that trait evolves. Hair isn't evolutionary advantageous because it attracts mates, it attracts mates because it is evolutionary advantageous. Sexual selection can get weird and select for things that are fairly far removed from what we might think as utility.

Part of hair's purpose is just as an indicator of health. If you're very unhealthy your hair will fall out or look particularly bad, if it's long and nice looking that means you've probably been healthy for a long time too. That's probably a good indicator at how good you are at taking care of yourself and likewise how good you will be at taking care of your offspring and how good they will be at taking care of themselves.

Sometimes sexual selection is just about how much energy you can spend on doing something to look attractive with no other purpose. Lots of birds exhibit this.
At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I'm considering a job change myself and will be prioritizing remote opportunities. I didn't see any contact information in your HN profile or on your website or I would have contacted you there. If you are interested in talking my contact information is available in my HN profile.

More generally, consider remote specific job boards like Remote OK (https://remoteok.io/) or We Work Remotely (https://weworkremotely.com/).

As others have mentioned, StackOverflow's job board is also a good resource. You can tag your posting as being remote.

You could defend the "per year" number by pointing out that power needs for homes vary a lot by season, so averaging over a year is the best long term measure.

But of course that means one of these reactors isn't the perfect plant to heat a city of 50k homes, since it would be underpowered part of the year and overpowered other times.

I'd imagine that the ability to fake and tell apart fakes will scale with computational resources, and so we will also have progressively stronger signatures that cost more computational power to generate.

This is basically already the premise of PoW -- it's hard to fake out the network and the chain of hashes show you exactly how much computational work was put into demonstrating veracity.

This doesn't remove the ability to fake things, but it imposes a price. If you really want to show something is real, dump a bunch of computation into computing hashes.

Nope, I just think you have poor reading comprehension - you are replying to a comment that said exactly the same thing. Flourishing (vibrant, active, enjoying life) != being in one's prime (peak performance).

Nothing wrong with that. My parents are 60+ and flourishing past their prime - their decades of experience are invaluable.
* Give fixed, but generous vacation allowances (4 weeks/year good, 5 weeks/year better)

* Vacation time use stats can be shared internally if your culture demands it, but should never be shared externally except in aggregate (violates the privacy of your employees)

* Don’t advertise unlimited vacation, because it’s not truly unlimited

* Properly account for staff being out in your capacity planning. If someone isn’t able to take their vacation time because there isn’t sufficient slack in the workload, you have failed and have essentially taken their compensation from them

Bonus points: Parental leave (offer what you can afford if you feel you need to compete on that benefit)

2) offer max flexibility
3) pay bonuses

Having been working remotely on and off for the last few years, I would tend to agree.

I’m flexible where I work, so if I can earn more working in an office I’ll do it - I’m not taking a 40% paycut just to work remotely.

As a company you are already saving by not paying employment taxes (most remote workers are contractors on paper) and not having an office, so don’t skimp more by paying your team a low wage.

I've been doimg this for 4 years and it's great. I've not had a successful job in 4 years.
