I had one like that, not with Google though.

Started off with "say your index.html is 500GB..." and a whole bunch of other exaggerations.

I ended up designing a web server all the way down to the TCP/IP layer. Of course, they stopped me and made me explain my design decisions along the way.

I accepted the offer. It was the best job I've had so far.

San Francisco, CA - RentMineOnline, social referral marketing, is looking for a junior RoR developer.

We're former SeedCamp and FBFund participants, currently profitable and working out of the Presidio with a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

You would work directly with me on the full stack, including server maintenance, deployment, ruby/rails development, javascript, and design. You don't have to be an expert in any of that, just be ready to learn.

Part-time remote work is ok, and starting remotely is an option if you're not in SF yet.

email me (kevin@) if interested, please include "HN Job Post" in the title.

Personally, I wouldn't trust them to not break things myself. I know they may not be "amateurs" at low level things like they do to make this happen, but I still wouldn't trust it. This is why my suggestion would be to use some kind of disk/filesystem encryption. TrueCrypt should be able to defeat them putting it back on and allow you to restore (from a clean copy) the original files and get your CHKDSK back.

On another note, I don't think I'd have ever noticed this myself, every laptop I've had I end up installing Linux on because of all the crapware that gets included with the OS in the first place.

This makes me wonder: is it illegal to use non-US coins for transactions in the US? Like if I use Euro-coins? (I say coins because there seems to be a specific prohibition on issuing "coin" and not other forms of currency unless they resemble US dollar bills.)
Exactly. This is part of the "checks and balances" created by the first amendment, every bit as legitimate and deliberately engineered as the separation of powers between the three branches of government.

New York City -- UI Architect -- SeatGeek

We're a data-driven search engine for sports and concert tickets. We're trying to use analytics and exceptional UX to make buying event tickets a wholly better experience.

We currently have a four-person dev team, but everyone prefers to work on the backend. We're looking for someone to come in and own the frontend of the web app, which will involve creating interfaces in Photoshop, brining them to life in HTML/CSS, and (ideally, but not necessarily) doing some Javascript work.

More details here: http://seatgeek.com/jobs/frontend/

London based is preferred, although we'd consider a remote position for the right person.
San Francisco, CA - IndexTank. Software Engineer.

Qomments: Quora for comments?
My experience with a life-threatening medical condition and "love" was very different from yours. I went through a period where I allowed men into my life that I normally wouldn't have given the time of day to because I had no idea how long I would live. I lowered my standards and it caused me to get to know people I wouldn't have otherwise known. Those relationships eventually fell by the wayside but not without first opening my eyes, my mind and my heart. I'm currently alone and I do plan on getting myself adequately healthy first before I will pursue physical intimacy (for me, it is the only sane thing as my medical situation is different from yours) but I am not rejecting of love. I suppose I won't quite know what to do when the time comes, for quite a lot of reasons, but I'm not terribly worried about it. I'm also okay with being alone if that is the only way to stay healthy but I'm not convinced that will always be true.

Peace and best wishes.

Los Angeles, CA and Silicon Valley, CA -- Factual

Remote work is a definite possibility, but in-person is highly preferred. We are looking for full-timers and interns.

Factual aims to be the place where people meet to share, improve, and mash-up data. We have an awesome team that is still fairly small, and an incredible CEO (he was the co-founder of Applied Semantics, which was sold to Google and became AdSense). We recently raised a Series A from Andreessen-Horowitz, and our customers include Facebook (we provide some of their Places data) and Newsweek. We have lots of challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, deduping, storage, serving, APIs, etc. If you love data, Factual is the place to be.

We're looking for awesome Java generalists. Bonus points for experience with MapReduce, developing NoSQL datastores and/or machine learning.

Columbus, OH. eRetailing Associates LLC (http://www.eretailing.com). We're currently looking for a fulltime mid-level software developer. This would be working at our office on the north side of Columbus.

What do we is sell apparel online (mostly geared towards women), that can be customized using our web-based design center. The main technologies are Perl/Flash/Javascript/HTML5 in an EC2 Linux/MySQL environment, although of course desire and ability to learn is fine in lieu of having experience with these specific technologies.

It's a fairly laid back work environment, and since the team (and company) is small, technical experimentation and lack of bureaucracy is pretty much the norm. We have several new initiatives in the works, so that's why we need to hire another developer.

Any involvement in development activities outside of work is a definite plus. Feel free to visit our website, take a look around, and send your info to jobs@eretailing.com if you're interested...
Great read. I'd like to say that I've been okay with my decision to drop out of college. Yet several years later all I've found is that 98% of companies now want a BA just to answer phones. A number of friends that I went to school with cruised their way through with C averages. I would be amazed when they'd ask me to read some of their senior level work and it would have the spelling mistakes of a 2nd grader. They spent most of their time at parties while being supported financially by their parents. Meanwhile I was attending the funeral of mine and facing homelessness, so dropping out was what was right for me at the time.

Now I'm the idiot for not having a degree, while those same guys I knew all have fantastic jobs. I think that many companies just use degree requirements as resume filtering tools and nothing more. It doesn't seem to matter that you can't write or that you learned nothing.

This app looks great, and for those looking to dip their toes into vi-style editing this may be the best starting point.

As someone who's already gone up the Vim learning curve, though, I'd like a way to use all the customizations I've already collected. There doesn't seem to be a way to accomplish this now, but I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Good to see there's support for color themes, already. :)

I can attribute almost all my freelance work to direct personal relationships. That formed through working on projects together and sharing (many) beers. The secret about the iOS contracting world is that most people are capable of doing the work once they are competent - but if they do not know people who know people at small and big companies - they won't get some contracts. Referrals are huge.

> many of these arbitrary rules break when subjected to different contexts. Some I totally disagree with

I'm with you there. I see you are new here, but please continue to contribute your valuable insight to this community.

> My possessions add a lot to my life

You really come to appreciate the value of possessions when you grow up without a cent to your name. It's easy to dismiss their value when you have been relatively well off all your life.

> Do go into debt.

There is good debt, and bad debt. Don't go into credit card debt. Use the 21 day grace period to your advantage.

If buying a house is mathematically more convenient than renting at a given price point, it makes sense to take on that kind of debt. You'll throw away money via rent anyway, you may as well end up owning valuable real estate.

> False. You absolutely need to reach as many people as possible and YOU need to explain why your product is great and you need to use every tool at your disposal.

Amen. It's something that technical people fail to accept very often.

> False. There are better ways to learn that meth is bad than to try it. Still I agree that you should not be afraid to fail.

I like to learn from other people's mistakes when possible.

CoderBuddy welcomes remote workers.

Our goal is to revolutionize software development. Our founder is a pioneer of social networking (Ryze) and founding investor in Napster. Our angel investors include Internet entrepreneurs who have sold their startups to Google (pre-IPO), Microsoft, Yahoo, Fox, etc., as well as 500 Startups.

Technologies we use include Python, Google App Engine, Django, AJAX, AWS. Math ability is a plus. We're looking for a front-end developer, server-side developer, developer evangelist / social media fanatic, and a part-time or full-time designer.

We're particularly focused on recruiting in Latin America (for timezone and other reasons), though we'd still consider other folks. Our existing team members are primarily in Panama and Brazil.
Don't forget state taxes - if you are an internet-based company and have no central office, there is really nothing keeping you bound to whatever state you live in. Look into moving the HQ to a state like Nevada - you can pay people to be a "registered agent" which means your business mail MUST go to that person and they'll forward it on to wherever you are.

Consider this "gray hat" tax advice. The tax code isn't built to handle companies without a true physical presence. They look to see where your main office is - if you don't have any, you can pretty much claim whatever state you choose. There may be rules about how long the HQ has to be in a state to qualify for the tax year, but I think that's it. Certainly ask your accountant/lawyer for more details and about the letter of the law here.

Anyway, it's an excellent learning opportunity for different skills.If you are interested in joining us ,please let me know.
Interesting. I'm a Montrealer currently busy for the summer, but very curious in this opportunity for afterwards. Definitely saving this link.
I found the version on the left quite readable. Then I thought - this is a website of someone who wants to teach others about design, so the correct answer is likely the right one. I saw the design principles in play - the justification, the section headers, etc.

However, without wondering what a designer would consider as the correct answer, I'd say the left one was more readable.

What does that say about designers (or me)?
This was inspiring. As others have stated, this isn't about deadlines per se, but limitations.

This is such a common theme among artists, here's Stravinsky rifting on the same:

I've already made the switch to MacVim using Janus - https://github.com/carlhuda/janus but Vico could be interesting. The biggest win here, like with Sublime Text 2, is being able to split the window into panes, which is something I've wanted in TextMate for years. However, what I really want is to be able to open a different file in the other panes, not the same file I have open.

[edit] Okay just figured out how to open different files in split panes. It's a little non-intuitive (you have to select the pane and the use the Open Files drop down, and have that file open in another tab (?!)). Would be nice to be able to select that pane and then just click the file I want in there in the Explorer.

Would really like to have some integration with Git. I don't see the Git .tmbundle available in the list.

It would be nice to be able to bring over a lot of the features of Vim, or maybe you can and I don't see it.

Looks like it's scriptable with Nu - http://programming.nu/index - which I haven't heard of.

The symbol list on the right is also great, makes jumping to methods a breeze with nice animated highlighting. I'm really starting to dig this.
American Idol (etc) is actually a pretty interesting exercise in game theory.

The good singers know they need to keep something in reserve for the later rounds, but if they keep too much back then they get knocked out early.

Plus there are things like song choice - someone wants to appear individual and interesting so they need to choose unique songs. But they want to appeal to the widest audience possible, which means popular, well known songs. Trade offs are always interesting.

Try watching for a few weeks and you'll get the idea. Then you'll never need to watch it again, because you can reuse the same comments every year:

ohhh.. he thought he was so good last week and played it too safe/She should have kept that song for later when she'd built up a better fanbase/etc etc
