Be a part of an awesome team of hackers with Security Innovation.

We find security issues in some incredibly interesting pieces of software, from web applications to embedded and mobile to desktop and server apps. If you think the world is a scary, insecure place and 0x41414141 makes you smile, please apply!

We encourage you to do your own security research and give you time and budget to pursue those topics. We want you to attend and speak at the conferences, write tools, white papers and blog posts on topics of your choosing. Beyond that we have an awesome perks package. You get a ton of freedom to be a rockstar.

We have developed or helped develop Blackmamba(http://rootfoo.org/blackmamba), Firesheep and other cool security tools.

We have four positions (and multiple openings) open:

- Security Engineer - the pen-testers that find vulns

- Lead Security Engineer - a seasoned security professional that can run our new Boston based security team

- Sales Engineer - a technical engineer that can help bridge the gap between sales and the engineers

- Linux System Engineer - Help build and design the most secure Kiosk system in the world based on some really cool tech.

Well, I'd like to know why it doesn't work. If that's pedantic, so be it.

Edit: I think people took this the wrong way. I mean it's not pedantic to find the real problem. We're all better off because the poster I'm responding to showed us the real problem.

Makes a lot of sense, PG. I have often wondered if it would be better to have cofounders who aren't as strong but as a team we have all bases, in terms of skills, covered vs. all of us, with roughly the same skills, but all awesome.

I also started to notice that there isn't any correlation between skill and determination. Looking for skill and hoping for will is a disaster. People who were "really into it" would pick anything up on the fly, enough to be dangerous, and that'd be great. On the flip side, people who were "rockstars" but not driven, would not do what they say they would, you'd be waiting on their email responses, man did they kill the morale. Reminds me of a Sir Richard Bronson quote: Hire for attitude, train for skill.

I would bet the combination of determination and "solving the right problem" makes a winner. Also instead of luck, I believe in being at the right place, at the right time. In order to be ready for that you have to be there, everyday, even if the bus does not come for 100 days straight, you stand there with the exact fare, knowing that when it does come, you'll be ready to ride that rocket.

Sorry about the rant, I know you're a busy guy, and thanks for answering my question. Any input from you is always greatly appreciated.
I find the same thing with Django, btw. Once a project grows beyond a (slightly less) trivial app, that is, at some point your project is going to want to do something difficult and/or unique, you wander outside of the wonderful things that Django provides, and you find yourself needing to build or seek out complex functionality by hand again, and sometimes having Django work against you.

At least, that's my experience.

So next time, for a not-too-large scale project, I will indeed try a more barebones framework such as Flask, to see if it matters much.

Django does get you off to a running start, but as soon as you want something it can't do, you find yourself clawing through its entrails again.
Git can do that, with a bit of help from your editor (assuming your editor is configurable enough, i.e. you use emacs or vi): https://github.com/bartman/git-wip
repl.it uses Emscripten for Python, Ruby and Lua. The other languages are not compiled into JS (they are handwritten).

Czech republic, but you could, of course, see the same thing in Germany or Poland.

And of course, there are more frequent accidents on the lines that are equipped with only basic signalling. This year, a DMU hit shunting freight and one elderly woman died. But not because the DMU was badly damaged (I even think it's already back in the service), but because she wasn't sitting (the train barely left the station). I don't think that being in a heavier unit would help her. (Now, the line is being equipped with something that looks like ERTMS Regional, but... it's not. Another national standard...)

And yes, there are quite frequent problems with signalling failures crippling whole lines for hours (not causing crashes, at least). Almost like we can't have a thunderstorm without some failure.
Clippy?
Facebook on both counts. Again, I was shocked. The CPC on Facebook started higher than it ended and the average ended up being lower than on AdWords (By about 10% or so IIRC). So Facebook ended up sending slightly more traffic over the course of the campaign and converted far more users - by large margin, >70% of the total.

So I'm sure my AdWords campaign could use some improvement as I don't think the difference should be so great, but it has been. And again, this is not what I was expecting. I was expecting the opposite.

You need to add in the Natural Gas Liquids (oil that is dissolved in hot natural gas and liquifies on cooling) and other fuels from lines 15-20.

America is burning about 18 million barrels per day (mbpd), down from about 21 mbpd in 2005-2006, and producing about 9 mbpd with conventional oil production declining (even including North Dakota's Bakken) and off-shore and deep off-shore compensating.

America is one of the world's largest producers with Russia and Saudi Arabia also in the 9 mbpd range. Together the top three account for almost a third of world capacity. The next largest producers are significantly smaller. Of course, Russia and Saudi Arabia are exporters.

America's per capita usage and per dollar of income usage is absurdly high compared to the rest of the world. If America wants to invest in efficiency, it could be a net exporter again with current technology and a 10-20 year investment in more efficient machines and better quality infrastructure. Unfortunately, American government seems to have chosen to drive head-on at 100mph into a worldwide peak production crisis.

This seems pretty inefficient, as it seems that line.count would be checking the whole line for how many times the letter appears. However, if you're solving in Python I guess efficiency is not really top priority anyway, and they also didn't specify a language or efficiency.

That's true in theory but the number of people like PG who can setup such a valuable resource and not care about whether it costs them money are few. Most people who create outlets for art online or elsewhere have bills to pay and money becomes a factor. It is a very risky and low-profit business bringing obscure art to the masses. What is more likely is what happened with Myspace - it was a new, innovative way for any musician to create a presence for themselves online, where millions of people were also spending time exploring. But they chose not to limit it to only high quality artists and eventually the people who spent more time "friending" others than they did actually making a quality product achieved more through the platform. Creating something that works differently when this is the natural flow of such platforms is very challenging.
Even if you have a point buried in your vitriol somewhere, making a throwaway account and delivering it in this kind of way is a new low, _especially_ since you know the guy is still in highschool.

It's cliche, but mainly it's because they just work. The notebook itself is well designed, things rarely crash and if they do it is normally just that application, not the entire system.

Hook up a monitor and it just works. Plug in a printer and it's recognized and you'll be printing in minutes. Same thing with keyboards and mice, etc. No configuration, diagnostics, downloading drivers from all sorts of different sites.

With VMWare (or Parallels if you prefer) you can run anything you need to in Windows ... with my SSD it now feels like Windows is native - it's super fast. Great for testing web development.

I switched 5-6 years ago and started to get my family and friends to switch. My mom and dad and sister are converts ... bonus there is that I NEVER have to give them tech support. It just works like it's supposed to -- and those that never want to access a command line don't have to, but for those that do it's there when you want it.
You'd lose points from me here for using $ln instead of $line. One point because you're just shaving off two letters at the cost of making me go "huh, whats that... oh". And then another because it's inconsistent. If you're going to use $ln use $lns for the plural, or if you use $lines use $line for singular. Don't you think? Of course I know this was a quick example but that's the kind of stuff that I think about.
Very cool! Can you add the ability to filter by price range too?
Learned that lesson the hard way ... well, what I had meant was git reset --soft, what I had typed while tired was git reset --hard.

Either way it gave me a chance to re-factor the code, and do it better which ultimately ended up being MUCH better anyway.

Yeah, you don't even want to know what I had to do to get around Steam not handling case sensitive filesystems. Steam is the only thing I've noticed that doesn't work right. There was also one driver that installed itself into "/LIBRARY/EXTENSIONS/". That was annoying but easy to fix.

Also, this solution isn't the most efficient because again you're searching the whole string potentially every iteration of your inner loop. So you've got an O(n^2) algorithm when it could be an O(n) algorithm. If we're dealing with just a short string, fine, but if the string were tens of thousands of characters long and we had thousands of lines, this might star to become significant. Sure, we're not likely to be given that. Maybe I read too much into these problems, but if they're going to give this as a test I assume they actually want to test something like efficiency, readability, etc.

What's dead-pooling? An exit, sale, liquidation, major pivot?

"It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop." -Confucius
In the office/work setting, you can only get people to do stuff if you are the boss or a person of 'authority'. If you try to take it upon yourself to fix and solve problems, your co-workers will look down on you because you'll make them look like they aren't working as hard. Most people just do what they're supposed to do to collect a paycheck and get by. If you want to do something great that has an impact, you have to find others who have the same heart. It's likely you won't find someone like that at the office.

When you partner with somebody, you have to first see if they are in it for the money or are they in it to change the world. Most will be in it for the money. It sucks, but the truth is there aren't very many passionate people out there who want to change the world. So don't try to motivate people with money because the ones you need on board in the long-term are those who have passion.

Are you a developer? I am a UI designer so if you want to collaborate on one of your ideas I'd be open to that.

The industry is just like Napster's VCs who most of us entrepreneurs strive to get our work funded and backed by.

For me Rosen's interview highlights this fact.

Every budding musician and entrepreneur needs a backer with financial muscle, connections and past experience to be a success.

As for small labels like your own... once you hit the big time with an artist you are bound to make deals with the big guys to increase sales/profit. I mean are you not in it to make as much money as possible?

As for your artists' if they are great then their talent will spread online (Youtube and Facebook). Once you have that artist I hope you would be doing everything for them to maximize profits and exposure.

Ask HN: Any professional services that help you raise money?
Hi HN,

You know how when you want to get coverage in the media, you hire a PR firm. It just facilitates a connection in a few to many relationship. Few=NYT/TC, many=you/every other startup.

The money guys are in the same boat (VCs and angels) as the media folks. Few of them, many of us. Are there any services who will pitch to them for you till they land you funding, like PR firms do for coverage? (c)
This looks like a quite a example of arrogance.

Remember the more egoistic you are , more you double your chances of failure. Just a advice , take on its face value.
Also, we're generally H1Bs and intern friendly.
Really? Where are they getting these funds if they aren't providing some service or 'value' in exchange? Maybe you are right but you seem to have stopped mid-argument. Examples might help illustrate your point.
Actually Steve Hanov's implementation which we're using does have canvas support. You can find it at http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=92. We stripped the graphical parts since they make little sense in our UI. At some point we may add graphics support, but if we do it will be to all (or at least the majority of) the languages.
Are you talking about C++ overloading? That's static, so tracing won't buy you anything.
