Well, what if - and I'm stretching here - you as the seller could make deals that were only found/purchasable within Facebook? If Pampers gave a $5 coupon only to FB users, that would make it work, wouldn't it? In other words, if you went to amazon.com and browsed Pampers, you would not get that same discount
Just out of curiosity, what would you use a shell account like that for? Do you do active development on it, or is it just a place to keep a screen session with an irc client running?
Million dollar homepage had a point; Pixels bought for advertising would be viewed for years to come by thousands of people.

One Million People is a free service to have your face as part of a meaningless book that costs $100.

People are so excited about it that they haven't even filled up the first page.
I realize that that was a foolish thing to say ;) I won't take this thread as a reason to storm in to my employers office demanding a raise; but it is useful information to plan my future out accordingly. My current train of thought was that I would have no choice but to enter management shortly to be able to move up; and as stated in some of my replies, it's not something I want to do. With the realization that I may be able to expand quite a bit still as a developer alone (granted I am overseeing people, but it's far from managerial type functions) than it allows me to see what career path I can make for myself.

Quality of life will always remain important to me; but at the same token it's not all about the money, and it's not all about leaving at a punctual time. I understand this sector can call for some long and grueling hours and have paid my dues and am still willing to do so when necessary. As for salary, I have turned down jobs that were better compensated - but the atmosphere didn't sit well with me.

Sadly this is so confusing, and I hope I will be able to make more sense of everything as this thread continues to expand.
I wonder if Wall Street, back in the 80's, generated a lot of interest in people to work in finance. It's an interesting case since in both cases the point of the movie seems to be to make the person (the startup founder in The Social Network, the corporate raider in Wall Street) out to be the bad guy.

EDIT: Wikipedia: "It has also proven influential in inspiring people to work on Wall Street with Sheen, Douglas, and Stone commenting over the years how people still approach them and say that they became stockbrokers because of their respective characters in the film."
I would love to see this happen, but there's the entire Public Relations industry to overcome. Not to mention Business mags.
Dunno - I don't know anything about him. Does he come from an entrepreneurial background? It might help if you could post a bit of his bio in your question so we don't have to look it up.

I'd certainly be interested in how the Mint acquisition came about - timing, why Mint, has he read the "Why Wesabe Lost to Mint" post, etc
A while back I spent some time following some of the W3 lists relating to web fonts. It amazed me just how open the process is .. any interested party can offer a view and attempt to influence the process.

To me, someone new to the process, it seemed that this arrangement was very democratic - and I was surprised that there weren't more people involved in the discussion, when so many millions of developers are set to be affected by the decisions that are made.

I was also left wondering if I'd have as much optimism and enthusiasm if I tried to become involved in traditional government politics ...
people on HN don't take kindly to non-contributing, off-topic, and (usually) purely jokey types of comments.
Tell HN: Wikipedia categories rock
Might be an old hat for most HN users, but I only disovered the wikipedia categories recently. Example for movies: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:English-language_films&from=O

I suspect this could already be better than imdb (I am probably the last person to still use imdb, too, since I didn't keep up with newer pages).

Also, the data from categories might come in really handy for seeding all sorts of specialized web services.

Not being an experienced Wikipedia user, I found it a bit non-obvious how to add categories to existing categories.
One problem with logical groupings is that, while useful, it introduces a new possible axis of confusion, if there's any grey area for what the obviously correct grouping is, or if different sites use different groupings for the same information. For example, with countries, an Egyptian might have to hunt to figure out whether they're listed under Africa, Middle East, North Africa, or something else.
I would have said existing labor laws, but that's not exactly a strong suit for the US, right? No maximum work hours per week, no paid paternal leave etc. (FLSA?)
Ask HN: Why doesn't someone provide JS encrypted webmail
I think there is a market for someone to provide client side passphrase encrypted webmail, that is truly secure both from intruders and the mail hosting servers. Why don't webmail companies or a startup provide that?

Yes, but not every panic is caused by an asset bubble. The panics that are caused by asset bubbles are a subset of the of panics. There are other panics that have other causes - both supply side shocks and demand side shocks can lead to a panic. Thus, I left out a lot of panics, which were not caused by asset bubbles.

From http://www.jacquesmattheij.com/The+Unofficial+HN+FAQ :

Is news.ycombinator.com open source ?

Yes it is, the code is written in a language layered on top of scheme called 'Arc', you can get the whole package here: http://arclanguage.org/ , the package includes a slight variation (the 'secret sauce' is missing) on the code running HN.
Case in point for this would be Wesabe.

Info for NYC:

At $110k (but as a sole breadwinner currently) I still live paycheck to paycheck. After taxes I am looking at approx $78k a year; my bi-weekly take-home is a couple dollars shy of $3k and my rent was $1800 for a small 2 bedroom condo but we have downgraded to a basement studio for $500 so we can pay off all our debts (wife's schooling, far too many credit cards, a far too expensive wedding and various other things). So far we have made a huge impact on our debt and we will soon start saving for a house.

If you were living directly in the city, you would need to double or even triple the rent. I do end up paying for it in commute time (2 to 3 hours worth of travel each day), but it allows us to get by just that little more.
IMHO, note taking is effective because it incorporates 2 or 3 of the common learning modes: seeing (visual), doing (kinesthetic), and if from a talk, hearing (aural). Generally this is enough to get something in my brain. I rarely need to look at the notes unless they are meeting notes and there is disagreement. For skills, e.g. differential calculus and programming, doing sample problems is especially important.
Yes, true. I could've hinted that this kind of post could also be interpreted as an attempt to game the voting system in a creative and thus perhaps interesting way. But I didn't.
No. The light of web standards has been dawning for a while new, and stuff like Chrome Experiments shows how much potential HTML5 has.

With standards gaining ground, the last thing I want to see is for Microsoft-controlled technology to again gain dominance on the web.

So, no. I do not want their shiny toys. We can build better ones without them, and they won't contain lead.
Flash is just about to lose some it's grasp on the internet. Should we really let another plague of it's ilk rise to power?
Utter nonsense. More to the point, dangerous nonsense, because some people may read it and go through with it.

There's only one good reason to leave a job (other than retirement/health/personal reasons unconnected with the job itself) - because you have a better opportunity elsewhere. Whether that better opportunity is more responsibility, a bigger paycheck, a better work environment, new skills, whatever, it should be better than what you have now.

To leave a job just because you feel "unchallenged" - well, either you have a trust fund, or you are plain stupid.

What if AMZN had a P/E of 630? What if it had a P/E of 6300? What if it had a P/E of 63,000? What if had an infinite P/E, by which I mean large losses and a sky high price?

You need to be careful about what examples you choose. If you only choose reasonable examples, then you are really not making a strong case.
Yup. That's why I prefer only writing a test for the most nominal case at first, and then code that solution. I don't write any more tests until I have a bug in the system, and I feel the need to convince myself that the subsytem is behvaing the way I think it does. Basically test-writing becomes a debugging tool like putting in trace, breakpoints or watchpoints. You have doubts about a part of your system, so write a test to confirm that it does what you think it does. I find that by the time a module is reasonably mature, I have enough tests to make a fairly solid test rig. I also don't waste time writing tests for trivial degenerate cases that I can handle correctly in my code without even having to think about it.
No.

Rejection isn't so bad, is it?

Seriously though, I'll do you one better. Email me a mailing address and I'll send you a physical copy of the suggestion cards absolutely free.

I can only do this for you though (I'm broke).
There are grease monkey scripts that do this. Maybe because there is very little demand?
Yeah true, but he can bounce ideas on our irc channel, it's much less distracting.
Caveman Social Networking Part II [Using metaphors for better design]
I don't recall the names of the specific cases that mark the change, but the fallout after the 14th Amendment resulted in some but not all of the Constitution's limitations on government being applied to the States as well.

So, for example, 1st Amendment restriction on censorship are applied to States. However, the States aren't bound to some guarantees like a right to jury trial in civil cases (iirc).
I suspect because nobody can be bothered to encrypt mail anyway? I've tried to establish pgp links with friends several times, but eventually we always fell back to unencrypted mails.

Of course some super-companies might require encrypted mail, but that might not be a good enough use case to base a business on.
Actually, the cheapest electronic watch will be several orders of magnitude more accurate than any however-expensive mechanical watch. Which goes to show that people do not value this, but rather the image, the signal the good conveys. Conspicuous consumption, in Veblen's word.
I guess you are both right, but considering there seems not to be other links to his blog on HN it still seems a bit weird.
Did anyone else glance at this, think "rationality level too low, I cannot trust anything these people say" and give up?
You have discovered why recruiters exist.
> Though is the "secret sauce" relating to HN specific voting fraud detection, etc, open source too?

No, then it wouldn't be secret anymore.

Security by obscurity is not perfect but in this case having that knowledge out there would only benefit the spammers and the 'gamers'.
This is exactly it. I have been trying to tell people that the Nobel Peace Prize is not the "Awesome Person" prize. Nobel was very clear on what a person had to have been working on before receiving the prize.

Yep, exactly.

I mean, if I had one week to learn _anything_ I'd probably pick sky diving or rally driving. I can learn about the stuff I do every day, well, every day. That one week should be special, something completely out of what I currently know how to do.
"The thresholds at which this happens changes over time, I believe the downvote cap is at 50 right now and the flag cap is at 200."

I may be reading this wrong, but I think what you're saying is that once you reach a karma of 50, you can downvote comments. I'm pretty sure that's incorrect - I have a karma of 89 as of this writing, and (unless I haven't yet figured out how to) am unable to downvote comments. Maybe someone who recently became able to could give a more accurate number.

I use Facebook quite actively on http://www.freeciv.net/ That might give you some tips about how to use a Facebook Page to promote a Web App. Facebook gives quite a lot of traffic back to the Web App.
Yes, that's another possible cause. What happens in that case is that the ajax script will receive an error underwater, but it never gets displayed.

I'm at 147 and no down vote. I think he has it backwards? I had heard somewhere else 200 was the magic number for comments.

For those without *.crx for Chrome association you can launch Chrome with this parameter:

--load-extension=/home/avar/g/sight/

After having cloned sight.git into ~avar/g/ obviously. And as a suggestion to the author: Getting it into the Google Chrome Extension listing would make this even easier.

Edit: Just read http://twitter.com/tsenart/status/26366227841 that sucks, Google.
I'm not a tax guy, but based off my experience:

Assuming he's single:
Federal taxes will be around $47.6k. (~28% at $170k, the 33% bracket hits you at $171,550.) State taxes vary widely. Some cities even have income taxes (e.g. NYC).
Next you would have to add in investments, interest on investments, things like that as your income.
Then you've got to consider deductions from your home, education, etc.

So it's a bit more complex than a simple percent; however, I would budget for a 35-40% effective income tax rate ($59.5k - $68k) in my state; however, in my state the cost of living is about half that--so taxes would be off $85k instead of $170k.
I added a book recommendation engine to HackerNewsers a few months ago, but so far only a few people have added their reviews, http://www.hackernewsers.com/books.html
The FAQ is seemingly contradictory on the subject of downvotes. Does anyone ever seen downvotes on posts? On comments? (I have never seen a "down" button on either). The FAQ says that there are no such things, but also mentions downvotes, which I find confusing.
Ok, thanks I've updated that. Anybody have a hard number for the 'flag' option?
The article was written to provoke discussion. That being said, "There's a time to earn, and there's a time to learn." The author certainly values learning and experience over what is typically defined as stability. This points to his beliefs and experiences with growth.

Juan Enriquez: Tech evolution will eclipse the financial crisis
If more people became aware how much of their profile resides with ISP's, DNS providers, and email hosts, I think many would prefer such a thing. Google, by the way is a DNS provider, search gateway, email host, AND an advertiser. It might be popular if it was free (you can still have some advertising), and actually secure. I'd imagine at least a portion of the hacker community would gravitate to it.

Are you talking about this?

I'll check it out, though I thought it had some issues with the latest version of FF.
Great list. You might want to edit the title to replace "HN" with the full form "Hacker News".

Another noob FAQ is: "Is HN becoming like Reddit and Digg?". pg has given lots of good answers to that (mainly that people who haven't been around long enough see patterns in randomness).

Edited to add: You might also want to point out that Reddit and Digg are also good communities with a different feel, and there is no need to take a moral high ground.

I interviewed at Facebook in the August of 2009. I believe that I'm precluded from discussing the technical details of the interview and any secret sauce I may have seen (N.B. Mark Zuckerberg's office is a fishbowl in the middle of the office.) In the end, they decided not to offer me a position and I believe I'm better off for it. Without any reservations I can say that Facebook employs a lot of extremely bright people -- it sometimes feels like a terrible waste of intellect.

A friend at FB suggested that I apply for a Software Engineer position. I sent in my CV and was granted an initial phone interview with a recruiter. Unlike the anonymous article writer, I went into my interviews cold. After as bit of a funny phone interview -- at one point I answered a question by saying "I have no idea how <thing> works. I'd read the manual" -- I was granted an on-site interview. (It probably didn't hurt that I was in Palo Alto in preparation for some climbing at Tuolumne Meadows).

My first technical interviewer was whip-sharp, having worked with a well known programming language designer. The questions he asked were designed to assess my basic knowledge and problem solving abilities. About an hour after this interview concluded, I was phoned by the HR person to schedule a more in depth battery of interviews the following day.

The next day I met with four interviewers, each from a different group. Two of them were fabulous; enthusiastic and engaged. One stuck me as bored by the whole interview process. I overheard the fourth interviewer outside the room complaining to a co-worker about how his time was being wasted interviewing me. (Gee, thanks.)

Parts one and two went swimmingly. With one of the awesome interviewers, I flubbed an easy algorithmic design question. I set out on the wrong angle of attack, and he did a great job of nudging me back. I made my best of my talk with the grumbly interviewer and worked through an open ended problem that required some domain specific knowledge. Some interview practice wouldn't have hurt, but I don't think that there would have been a benefit from technical preparation.

After a few days out in Yosemite Valley I chatted with my initial HR contact who informed me that FB would not be making an offer. So it goes.

Sorry to keep things vague, I did agree not to give out their interview questions or engage in industrial espionage. If anyone has specific questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them.
What keeps the webmail company from supplying you with modified client-side JS code which forwards the keys you enter to $three_letter_agency?
It still doesn't add up: suppose I earn one piece of chocolate per day. If I defer eating one piece of chocolate today, I can eat two pieces of chocolate tomorrow. On average, I still only have one piece of chocolate per day. So I am not better off.

In the same vein, if I work harder today I maybe have more money tomorrow and can afford to work less. But on average, I have still worked the same amount of time as before. So working harder does not make me better off on average (if by "being well off" in this case we take "can afford to not work too much").

What REALLY works is increasing the efficiency of work. We are not well off because we work so much. We are well off because we have machines that do a lot of work that other people still have to do manually.
Sorry for the lateness of this reply. We've hired international hackers before and dealt with the long immigration process. Our philosophy is we'll do whatever's necessary to get great people on board, and as stated in this thread, the TN visa should make hiring Americans easy, though we've never done that. (I have interned at two American companies and that visa process was relatively painless, which bodes well.)

It's really difficult to try to interest people (software people in general) in working way up North here, so we're not too choosy about where they come from or what their background is, so long as they're bright, motivated, and interested in kicking ass. :)
From the article:

"At what karma level can I downvote articles ?

There is no karma level that I know of that will allow you to downvote articles."

and

"What [karma] does give you is that at some point you can downvote other comments and it gives you the ability to flag posts."

In other words, you can't downvote articles, ever, and you can downvote comments after a certain karma threshold has been reached.
First, put an email in your profile.

Second, I can't tell since you haven't disclosed anything, but that sounds like it's a pretty good deal. Just because something comes easily and quickly doesn't mean that it's not rare. Investment in Europe is very rare and certainly you won't find European investors on HN.
Damn it does suck that I can't afford the fee now. I'm a student with no CC for god's sake. Thanks for the suggestion =).

Any feedback is appreciated.
There are no downvotes on articles, just flags, and the downvote button on comments only appears when you have (apparently) 200 karma.
