Good points, does the website charge for anything besides the connection? They aren't that clear. A headhunter could cost 10% or more of whatever I'm going to pay some guy (lets say cost would be ~10k) edit: and have my hire, or I could pony up $500 to meet some people and hopefully make a hire. I don't know if that's how it's being run, but that's the advantage I see.

Hi HN,

I've been ruminating on this project for about two years, starting when my girlfriend and I were looking for a place together. About a week ago I finally settled down to put it out there, and here is the MVP.

What do you think?
Possibly to drive more revenue towards iTunes and whatever other online initiatives they have in the works. While they themselves aren't being heavily affected by copyright infringement they do have an interest in more people turning towards legal outlets for content.

Furthermore, it is quite possible that they feel the need to maintain a good relationship with the RIAA et al.
Whether the BSA is a Microsoft front group or not is something people have been debating since it was founded in the late '80s, and probably depends on how close ties you require to call something a "front group". There was a bunch of debate and some litigation over it in the 1990s.
Also - you know people on pleasepoach.me want a new opportunity, increasing the likelihood of finding someone interested in moving to a new company.
FWIW, this isn't especially interesting to me as someone trying to hire engineers. I can look at resumes on LinkedIn all day long for free. Why should I pay you $50?
I second this, I am in the db-class and I can't help but think it would be more fun with an interactive class. Widom is a great teacher, but it's weird to just watch her in that room by herself talking about database stuff.
Wire fraud is a big one. Maximum of $1000000 fine and/or 30 years in prison.
I agree with this. I already had a few of these buzzwords on my list for job postings to avoid.

"Work hard play hard" - Yep, the author's right

"Significant Equity" - I guess I've read too much HN to know that that's nothing

"Pre-revenue" - Entirely too much risk to leave your current job to go to; maybe if you were between jobs.

The last thing I avoid is the list of perks that make it seem like your life is work. Sure, perks are nice, but not so I can all my time there. I got a tour of Palantir, and I'm like "This is really sweet." Then I got to their nap time room, where you can sleep for a bit when you're pulling an all nighter. I drew the line there because the way it was positioned was too strongly implying you must spend all your waking hours at work, and then some.
I don't think this is true at all. The developer community might get more attention than everybody else, but this is a good thing: making developers more efficient results in more software for everybody.

Besides, most such projects are written to fill a specific need of the author. They would have been written regardless; they are released because of the open-source culture prevalent in the development community. There are so many development tools just because developers are so happy to share.

Edit: I'm not sure this particular product is open-source. I'm just commenting on the prevalence of developer tools in general.
I think that hits it right on. Academia is as entrenched as most any powerful copyright holder.
Could you elaborate on how MS and Apple do this specifically?

I find their revenue models very different, Apply making it on hardware + iTunes (Music, apps, movies, etc), MS making it on Software.

How do you group them as the same? And call it 'Lock-in'?

Edit: for clarity
When you say 'browser bars' I am thinking of an address bar in browsers today. Is that what you are referring to?

I am thinking of something that does not interact with the user but captures some of their web usage based on their consent. Would love to share it with the community when its ready!
Recruiters will charge you $20,000 to $30,000 for a candidate that you hire.

I was thinking $50 to look doesn't sound appealing - maybe $500 to contact as many candidates you like, one at a time until you hire one.
"Recruiters will do all that for me for free, and pre-screen everyone."

As a hiring manager, I've known a very few (but very good) contract recruiters who will actually do this. In short, most (contract) recruiters are sales people who are motivated to have a transaction occur.

As a hiring manager, I rarely find that there interests are aligned with mine.

Having said that, I am also not sure if this pricing works or not.

I think we are overanalyzing here. This is like a car company that maintains a garage to attract people who like to look under the hood. It's taking a strategic people decision when hard data isn't easily available. Everything about sys admin job descriptions seems like a digression.

Surely there are some mplayer/ffmpeg experts here. I'm not one of them. There are no doubt more precise and efficient ways to do this but something like the above might work if the streaming is slow going.

I think this needs a little more human curation. There are too many commit messages that are about internals that users really don't want to know about.

Here's what we do: http://blog.beeminder.com/blogdog

In short, we have a special twitter account for User-Visible Improvements (UVIs). We manually look over our commits and task list and tweet on average one UVI per day.

EDIT: Also, thanks for making -M availaible! I'm trying it out.
How do you know that your rapid growth isn't a result of your service being unprofitable? Wasn't that the lesson that we were supposed to learn with pets.com and kozmo? Also I believe that profitability and rapid growth are not mutually exclusive. I understand the theory of operating at a loss, but it leaves very little room for uncertainty in the marketplace. If you have new competition, capital dries up, or you make any sort of mistake, the company could go belly up. I wouldn't want to invest in any company unless it could show a clear path to becoming profitable.
I don't think I can do that sorry. I'd have to talk about more than US Immigration. In particular I'd have to talk about two institutions which had nothing at all to do with the problems I experienced. I don't want to repeat the nonsense that was flung at me by the troll.

I don't think I mentioned two of the worst incidents that I experienced at the height of two security scares quite a number of years ago in the US. I can talk about those. On one occasion I had contact lens fluid confiscated. At the time I had $240 long life contact lenses. These were not designed to be worn all day and all night, but my flight was a long haul. During the flight I developed a minor eye infection from having to leave them in. When I had argued with the security people over this I was told bluntly that US National Security trumped my health and financial well-being.

On a second occasion I was travelling to the US and would then transit to an internal flight (either that or I was on my way to the US and had to change flights mid way -- I don't recall any more because it was too long ago). En route I was told that due to snap TSA rules that when in transit between my two flights my laptop would be siezed and that there was no means of returning it to me. I was told that it would most likely be destroyed in a crusher.

I don't know of any other people who this happened to and I didn't see any news articles about people being told this. It seemed to happen because they were making up security rules ad hoc due to a major security scare. The cabin crew seemed to have been fed this info just before the plane took off. I spent the entire flight consumed with worry that I would lose not only the laptop, but a large amount of my work which I had foolishly thought was too important to make any copies of anywhere. I had actually toyed with the idea of convincing someone that it was cybersecurity research of vital importance to the national interest. But short of me making a pretty astonishing breakthrough during the flight, the latter part of that wasn't really true. Fortunately, all the worry turned out to be for nothing. By the time the plane landed, sanity had been restored and my laptop was not confiscated.

It seems that the TSA and US Immigration didn't really want me to travel to the US. Not returning to the US certainly solved the problem. I haven't had any problems with them since.

Totally. Two classes of respondent: people who thought, hm, fun, I'll use this as an excuse to dig into a new language, and folks who were looking for a job.

Great idea. Filtering linkedin contacts who'd like to be poached. I'd like to sign up but I can't work out how! The login link doesn't take me to a register link. The big red poach button seems to do nothing.
This strikes me as a transcendent work. It's one of those amazing artifacts in which the structure reinforces the special insight of the subject matter.

I'm referring to the sort of fractal way in which each nested story builds the theme through repetition, but also reflects the story in which it's nested, in the same appropriately meta-textual way as all my favorite works of literature, like the Iliad and Infinite Jest.

That is, each structural level of the talk points to a higher rung on the ladder of abstraction. And the talk itself, while on its face is about disruption and business practices, keeps pointing up the ladder. At each level it constructs a more abstract narrative that provides insight into what is really happening.

Disruption happens because businesses measure the wrong things. But they measure the wrong things because they haven't built the apparatus to figure out what to measure. And they haven't built that apparatus because they don't even know that they should be. They work on received wisdom, they let the numbers do the thinking for them.

Ultimately, it's a talk about the value of true critical thinking, of forming the correct narrative, and of stepping outside the bounds of the particular level of abstraction to see the same set of facts from different perspectives.

As a literature major, this is a talk about the value of a liberal arts education.
As another option, couldn't you just include some sort of tag in each commit you want included, when you commit it? Something like "#interesting" at the end of the message.

I'm not sure that would be better, but it would be a nice option to consider.
To be precise, this latest experiment only ruled out one possible source of error (namely, bias in the detection of arriving neutrinos causing it to preferentially detect neutrinos at the forefront of the pulse). This doesn't affirm that the neutrinos actually exceeded light-speed.

But it is an important step towards understanding what's happening, and it's great that the OPERA group were able to put together this followup experiment so quickly.

Working link (for me at least).
That is sad; I had no idea he was ill. I remember him from the anti-abuse community in the 1990s as the commercial and consumer Internet flourished. He was a rarity there - strongly principled yet pragmatic. He was the anti-curmudgeon.
Stinky The Garbage Truck
I disagree. The formula "We're X for Y" is a very succinct way to start painting a picture of what your company does. It's supposed to be a "hook" for an investor or a tech news writer (or reader) to keep listening to you. So I wouldn't assume they aren't able to clearly explain what they do.

Still, your complaint might be that, even if works for investors or tech news writers, it shouldn't necessarily be used for prospective employees. In that case, I agree. But I'm sure that, if you happened to be interested in a particular startup that used that formula to describe themselves, they'd be happy to provide you with more details on what they do.
As a developer I won't use this. I would rather charge myself for someone to contact me with job offer considering the market right now.
Maybe someday, but I just can't see a web app that could seriously compete with the likes of Adobe or Autodesk in the foreseeable future. While there are online services that provide some of the features found in applications like photoshop, they are hardly compelling enough to get any Adobe or Autodesk customer to jump ship. Same goes for the like of Siemens and Mastercam, but probably more so.

Apple Removes 'Texas Hold'em', its Only iOS Game, from App Store
This review mirrors my experience almost exactly.

I would also expand it and mention that PDF reading is pretty terrible. I tried the built-in reader and all of the paid applications. Only one of them, ezPDF, was even able to decently render a two-column ACM paper. And that one had page turns only slightly faster than my e-Ink Kindle Keyboard, and the Fire became hand-scorchingly hot after just a few minutes of using it.

He also didn't mention it, but the device doesn't feel very nice in the hand. Despite the presence of a plastic back, they didn't make it "sticky" enough that you could lightly hold it and not worry about it slipping out due to its heavier weight than the e-Ink devices. So, in practice, you have to be just as careful while holding it as you do with the toe-seeking iPad.

The only thing that worked well was the Crunchyroll app, which streamed and displayed asian video content quite handily.
The actual formal theorem is new and great, but the general battle of asserting the wave function's existence vs. non-existence (whatever either are supposed to mean) vs. saying "I don't know tell me more about the wavefunction and its experimental predictions working/failing" has been around for quite some time. Here's a nice write-up of the ridiculousness of someone definitively saying "I don't know why this works and therefore it doesn't exist!" http://lesswrong.com/lw/q5/quantum_nonrealism/

I'd guess otherwise, but that would be easy to test for the course organizers.

This is what my reviews always look like: a bullet list of complaints I have with the product. I don't think those are very useful reviews though.
Almost all reviews have been rather glowing about the feature, noting it's fast. And Google themselves have said that it could be faster, but that people didn't believe it was doing anything without adding a delay.
The original comment had an reply/update:

*"Mistake: It's any US company involved with the complaint that led to the seizure in the US. Not just any US company."
I agree with everything he says. I'm returning it. It is very unpleasant to use - sluggish interface etc. I guess it was my mistake to order it before actually using it. I looked at the nook tablet today, 2 mins of using it at the BN store, I can tell you it is far better than the Fire.

Amazon had an amazing chance, but they blew it. My guess is the next version of Fire would be better, but I'm skeptical.
I believe mindstab is talking about debates as to whether a quantum wavefunction posses any objective reality. That is an old argument. For example Everett's Many World Interpretation from the 1950's posits a real universal wave function. It is also deterministic.

The one this paper purports to disprove are the ones which say wave functions are not real but a probability distribution representing your lack of knowledge of the total system state and collapse from measurement is not so different from choosing to condition on the probability distribution. I am sympathetic with the view of quantum mechanics as a bayesian complex probability theory and so will wait till more knowledgeable people critic the paper.
From what I gather, quantum "particles" travel in a way that's wave-like, but as soon as they interact with another quantum particle, the wave collapses into a single point, and then starts traveling as a wave again starting from the point of collapse. (or something along these lines).

This wave-like form is basically the "wave function"; it describes how the quantum particle moves, and where we might find it.

If this is right, then I don't see anything "mysterious" in quantum entanglement. If anything, quantum entanglement seems to be a proof that the quantum-particle (aka wave function) has an internal state that can be known without necessarily having to interact with it directly.

Somebody please throw some sense into me if I'm spewing non-sense.

Presumably because only a small percentage of people on LinkedIn are actively looking for jobs; also, I think you need a premium account on LinkedIn if you want to contact a lot of people who aren't on your network.

Besides, U$50 isn't much compared to the fees recruiters charge. Even if you have to contact 20 candidates before hiring someone, $1000 is still cheap compared to, say, 15% of $100k.
Nope, I mean browser bars from the early-mid 2000s. Comet Cursor, HotBar, and other adware companies that were the Groupon of their day. Lots of deal site plugins used these kinds of plugins to do a kind of rudimentary tracking. You got some..."thing"..and they would have this snippet of js that submitted your clicked urls to their servers. Same as it ever was.
Or ØMQ.
Why wouldn't you work there? Does trying to protect your IP and business ( albeit in a completely inappropriate and detrimental way ) indicate a poor employer?
Amp Up Your Enterprise With Myleadsystempro
I got a call from a recruiter recently. Turns out he thinks I'll be a great candidate to be the new CEO of some algorithmic trading/financial services company in New York City...given my decades of experience in the field. MBA required.

I'm a 21-year-old who just took a leave of absence to concentrate on Kout.me ; how is it that I'm even a target of these people yet?
I believe it. It's not like there was streaming video 24/7. There were dozens of magazines that hadn't yet been disrupted.

Also, internet speed was still pretty bad back then so you were limited to dialing up porn over your landline. Oh yeah, there weren't any mobile devices either back then. So it was primarily a matter of accessibility and alternatives, rather than demand.

That's why I added the "...and manufacturing technology" part at the end. What I've seen is that a company will have a whole line of cells of varying capacities all at the same discharge "C" rating.

To be honest, I'm too worried about discharge rates, since we use them in combat robots, which are designed to last 3 minutes (which ends up being 20C continuous discharge rate). If you consider that you want at least 2 minutes of "full throttle" power over the course of a charge of the batteries, the capacity of them must be enough that the maximum current would be 30C, otherwise the batteries would be dead from just the hot rodding. Being that you're driving more than the 2 minutes of full throttle, I'd suspect that any batteries with enough capacity for an hour drive would have enough discharge rate to support what you needed to do.
Good. Now set DEBUG = False in your Django settings file. Seriously. You know, private keys and stuff. For, you know, important stuff like stripe.

This review is pretty over the top negative. Not saying it's wrong, but the product has over a thousand reviews on Amazon.com and the average is four stars.

You can always take a trip out to best buy/target/etc. to play with it.
Stanford launching launchpad-class.org and entrepreneur-class.org for startups
I made the same note when reading the article.
That something can play a file with HD content is actually somewhat of a feature, especially with a smaller screen. I'd rather not have to re-encode like I did with my old video iPod.

The iPod headphones & speaker example really showed me that the author was not thinking along these lines. It in my mind is not a lie.
Um, on every Windows machine I've ever seen there's a little sticker with the serial number--or it's imprinted onto the device just like his example.

You are right but I think the checklist could be used as a starting point. It can be updated so users can make informed decision.

Users can also send features that they think are important and missing in other or our products. So I hope this becomes a good resource
The rest of your argument is from lack of imagination.

My opinions on this topic are mostly rooted in having "atypical cystic fibrosis" and getting the hole in my left lung to close (tissue regeneration) when doctors say that is not possible.

Peace.
The notion of corporations as people is fine with me as a legal fiction (the original intent). The major advance in the Dartmouth case was that contracts made by corporations were valid, and that the state didn't have the right to arbitrarily dissolve them. I wouldn't want that particular aspect to be any other way.

More important is the conflation of artificial persons and actual people. In light of my previous concept of a corporation as an entity that does whatever's legal, however amoral, to make a profit, it's silly to apply moral concepts such as "inalienable rights" to them.
$50 is really nothing for recruiting.
