Show HN: SEO for New Grads (or jobseekers)
I'm not sure if this could be monetized, but I made this guide for some friends and it worked great for all of them. The idea is that over 50% of hiring managers google prospects, so college students could use a little help in their first search.

This is the advice I give to my friends who want to own the front page. Not sure how it applies for you:

1) Google your first and last name. If you’re like most people on earth, you’re one of many with your particular combination. So how can you rank higher?

Never fight a battle you don’t have to. Pick a middle name, real or imaginary. Google your new full name.

Example: A person's name is Michael Corleone. The Google result is completely owned by Wikipedia and other impossible to compete against sites. Change it to Michael Gerard Corleone, advertise yourself as Michael G. Corleone - no competition.

1a) Put your new name on top of your resume for consistency.

2) Take your new name. If your Facebook looks professional, change your Facebook name to your new name. If not, make sure your Facebook doesn’t use your new full name.

3) Take five minutes to create a LinkedIn account with your new name. Put all of your resume information on it neatly. A good LinkedIn account will get you a recruiter call every month, if your skills are in demand. LinkedIn will rank well for your new name, and you can brag as much as you want on it without looking pompous.

5) Make an account on Amazon, using your new branded name. Pick a couple of books in your industry with good ratings. Read the summaries (read the book, preferably, but I won’t judge if you don’t). Leave a review of the books that makes you look good: show that you know industry terms, talk about your experience, etc. Each review you leave will go to your Google front page and make you look smarter. This only works if you know enough about your industry to sound smart, of course. You can also do this for textbooks, or fiction that you like if you want to sound interesting.

6) Take five minutes to make an account on sites that allow descriptive profiles with your full name Quora, Yahoo Answers, DisQus, Meetup, or anywhere else you want. Feel free to participate in these communities to help even more, although it’s not necessary.

7) Here’s where you can have fun and really seem impressive. Go to Weebly.com and make a free website, called “yourfullname.weebly.com”. Set the page title to “Your Full Name Online” and the page description to “Your Full Name’s Online Website”. Write a paragraph about yourself on one page, and a page with links to your linkedin, Facebook, or anywhere else you want to show people. Go nuts and add anything else you want that might make you seem interesting.

Voila! In 7 days, I guarantee you will look very impressive to anyone searching for you on Google.

Thanks for fixing the NPE in my patch. I'm afraid I don't know any Clojure at all; had to pick my way through a quick reference to do this.
Nonono. Meeting new people is great. Dating sucks. Dating is a half-baked social ritual built around assigning way too much importance towards sexual relationships. I'll happily meet with new people for a coffee, at least as long as they didn't seem to be too annoying. Call it a date, and I'm much less willing, for many reasons, starting with plain appearances, and ending in the seriously limiting premise.

And yes, I know you can start with a date but then switch into something less defined. I'd rather skip the date nonsense altogether. It's not to say that the coffee can't end with a nice coffee and toast in the morning, but "date" assigns way too much importance to that, and not enough importance to, say, building a funky website together, or just talking about mind-controlling ant fungus for half an hour.
Um yeah so this why you should have a QA department.

Correct, on the page you linked there's a 'view pricing details' link at the bottom.

Let me tell you how to brick a top of the line 2009 BMW.

Easy-peasy. Lots of small trips, under 5 km, for 9 months. That's it. Apparently the discharge caused by starting the car and a draw from all the packages that are strapped to it are not offset by the charge received while driving unless the distance is at least 10 km per engine start. The only warning that the car gives is an "excessive battery discharge" and when it pops up the battery can no longer be fully recharged. Not covered by the warranty, because apparently there's a one-liner in manual that says "20 minute a day continuous drive minimum". Unlike Tesla's though the battery is "only" $700 to replace, not $40k.
I wish Apple would make some new benchmarks, if this interesting new improvement in JSC makes it faster in general but not on the 3 major benchmarks.

If those benchmarks are missing something important, we need better ones.
37signals is a successful startup that puts time and effort in to sharing insightful blog posts about their product. That's right in the HN wheelhouse. The volume of stories has increased lately because they're about to release a new product.

I see it as a win-win for both 37signals and the reader. 37signals gets some publicity, and we get some insight in to product development at a successful web-based company.

I am definitely learning a lot in terms of web design, but also what is possible in terms of creating a web app that is fast.
I disagree.

Based on time in a Roadster, and what I've seen of the model s, I would be totally happy with the S in the bay area, and either rent or keep a second car for trips out of the bay. With a constant level of tech, sure, the city car makes more sense, but assuming you can afford the high tech batteries, the tesla seems like a great car for how Americans use cars.

If I weren't getting a model s, I'd probably get an Audi S5 or S7, so you are taking a 25mpg or less car off the road for an incremental cost of $30k. For me, the carpool benefits make it worthwhile alone (I wasted 1.5h driving to SF today, which would have been 30min in the carpool lane, but I only had one rather than 2 companions).

Making big trucks, SUVs, etc fuel efficient IS the low hanging fruit, followed by cars like taxis and police cars which drive lots of miles and idle a lot. Taking a 50mpg city car to 100mpg, driven 5 miles a day, isn't much savings by comparison.

The first one is this: that you are only now objecting, and not upset at all about Google handing over dissidents to the Chinese govt to torture and/or kill. Human fucking life fucking has no fucking value to you? Priorities???

How is that different from Google/ISPs handling over persons of interest to any other government, including yours? Or you think what is allowed in that case shouldn't be allowed for China's case? Are dissidents of China better than dissidents of any other country, to deserve special treatment?
I found some software that does just this and a lot more. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked terribly consistently, and the voice quality when using my MacBook Pro as a mic/speaker isn't passable.

I went to your site Knackeo. I have a tough time seeing what you are doing by going to the site and clicking all workable buttons. I'm sure investors did that too before meeting with you.

A really simple graphical explanation about who pays what might work? I really don't know, but what does peak my interest is that it seems like it will be a variety of crazy stuff rather than another lesson in math.

I liked the comment that you should start your pitch with what others are doing and how you will address a different market or beat them in their own market.

This stuff is obviously really tricky, but I feel like you have something you just are not showing.

You are precisely wrong. Targeting people that already buy into energy efficiency has low payoff.

Say you have your enlightened urban dweller, getting 50mpg. With the fancy new hybrids, let's say they double that and get 100mpg. Given 100K miles of driving, that saves 1000 gallons of fuel.

Now, take your suburbanite SUV driver getting 20mpg. You only have to get their mileage to 25mpg to save the same amount of fuel over 100K miles. Get them to 40mpg, and the improvement is 150% greater than the urbanite's.

Further, only electric vehicles are can realistically be 100% powered from renewables with current technology. Biofuels are in their infancy vs solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear.

Thank goodness for Tesla trying to push boundaries and for the early adopters that are buying them. Also, thank goodness for the Nissan Leaf, the Honda Civic GX, the Prius, and all the people making a difference and buying fuel efficient cars. It's a big problem and there's no "Wrong Way" to be helping.
Tesla are targeting the customers willing to spend upwards of 50k on a car. The other people selling electric cars are targeting the people who would normally spend less than 20k on a car. An electric car is the features of a small city car, but not the price. There's something to be said for targeting both sets of potential customers.
I'm guessing that that's the reporter's fault. The quote seems to referring to AWS, which they've probably never heard of, leading them to make a uninformed guess as to its meaning. Just another case of general media reporters covering stories they're not qualified for.
I enjoy my Ford Bronco. I also enjoy my 35+ mpg V-Star. When a new, 30+ car comes out under $10k, pm me.
Tesla is trying to run and end around on the entire auto industry while trying to turn a profit as a car manufacturer startup. I can't imagine many more difficult markets to break into. Can you blame them if they're trying something different? By aiming for the luxury market, they're going for lower-volume, higher-margin products, building a coveted brand, and are able to offer longer ranges than Nissan. Sounds like a good strategy to me.

They don't have time to "sit it out", or money to lobby, they need to become established in brand and sales as quickly as possible. If they wait till electric cars are mainstream, it'll be too late to break the stranglehold that large car companies have on the market.
Bless you, because it was while trying to figure out if I agreed with you that I looked up "sarcasm" in Wikipedia and found this awesome quote:

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, on the other hand, recognized in it a cry of pain: Sarcasm, he said, was "usually the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded."

Beautiful. So, based on that: If what I wrote wasn't technically sarcasm, that's not because I wasn't trying. ;)

And now I'm afraid I must reiterate my clearly-signalled disinterest in yet another lengthy debate about Google's privacy policies. There are plenty of older threads on HN that cover these things, and this week I have more urgent things to do, like try to make up my mind whether or not my past and future YouTube viewing history is bound up with the privacy of my soul.
20 min per DAY? And a $700 battery? To hell with that, I'll slap a Duralast in the trunk and wire the damned thing up. But then again, I am not buying BMWs...
This problem can be fixed. The ratio of messages sent by men:women could be limited.
If that's your "real-life" dating experience, maybe you should date different people. Yes, some women look at wallet size. Most (of the ones I know) don't.

Yes, even the ones who don't date within roughly their own socioeconomic strata - but that's a) the same for men, and b) not the same as what you're implying.

You can comfortably leave a regular car alone for 6 months and when you return at worst the battery will be flat and there'll be some rust on the brake pads. I regularly do this to my poor old diesel SEAT. Even if the battery is flat I can either bump start it, or worst comes to worst, buy a new $50 battery.

You can use whatever keyboard you like, whatever input device you like, but there is no inherent reason why your computer has to be an ATX desktop form factor and anchored to the wall. If you could accomplish everything you currently do on your computer right now, with your phone and plugging your phone into a base station, then there would literally be no reason to have a desktop at all. We are only about 1-2 years away from this reality.

In that case, you're either stuck with another physical button that will have the same problem, or one of those capacitive back buttons that I find extremely frustrating.
If you turn on Multitasking Gestures (Settings -> General -> Multitasking Gestures -> ON) you can go "back" one app by four-finger swiping the current app off the screen to the left (i.e. swipe your fingers from right to left). iOS automatically puts the apps "beside" each other so the swipe works even if the apps were previously not launched consecutively. I do this when reading www.jimmyr.com to return to Safari if it launches the YouTube app. I also use this if I forget I'm in Airplane Mode and I get the 'Turn Off Airplane Mode or Use Wi-Fi to Access Data' error message that gives me the option to jump directly to 'Settings'; once I turn Wi-Fi back on I four-finger swipe to get back to the app. It's on iOS 5 on my iPad-1 but I think you might need a iPhone 4 or 4S to get Multitasking Gestures on an iPhone (I can't find how to turn it on in the settings for my iPhone 3GS). Edit: thanks to baddox for pointing out this is an iPad-only feature (confirmed here: http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html), or on iPhones that have been jailbroken.
A most excellent pure HTML5 platform game
Totally! And the funny thing is that it's something of a cultural food chain. The next-biggest entities that likely suffer from this are the sorts of companies (the Boeings, HPs, Lockheads, Oracles...) that are selling these agencies the goods (because they buy lots of their software this way as well). I'd be thrilled to see it trickle down and change the way a lot of these projects are bought-and-paid-for.

That said? It's nerve-wracking. My (barely educated) impression is that lot of these projects are something like selling a multi-million dollar project that hasn't been built yet to the organizational equivalent of the cat-lady from the Simpsons. Attaching what are essentially performance-weighted payment structures to it (we'll pay you when/if we use it) sounds risky. Even if you think you're capable of building a solid product, you're success at this point also depends largely on the client's ability to predict and specify their actual needs.

I'm in the weeds, but my point is that I wonder if the CIA might find bidders for these projects turn shy.
I'm puzzled as to why this took so long to happen. It's an acknowledged fact among most young people that living in a city is preferable to the hollow suburbs.

Does anyone have any ideas?
True Mom confessions 1
My confusion with Tesla is this: around the rest of the world - outside of USA - there are already very fuel efficient automobiles. 60, 80, even 90 miles per gallon are common and applauded in Europe.

America has the opposite approach and appears to optimise for size, comfort and perceived safety. (SUVs, Trucks, large saloons.)

None of the things American consumers appear to value are correlated in the Tesla. When I look at the Tesla brand, product and marketing, all I can think is how popular this car would be in Europe. Just me? Why USA first?

It isn't a sale if you weren't planning on buying it in the first place.
Looks great on the WP7 browser too. Thanks!
The Leaf claims 100 miles on a charge, making its range a little less than the base Model S. That means that the Tesla costs about $19k more in practice. Considering it's supposed to be a "nicer" car in general, that doesn't seem too unreasonable.

I don't think Nissan genuinely expects anyone to buy the base model Leaf. For $2,000, you give up the ability to charge your car in minutes rather than hours (and, apparently, to use any of the charging stations that are supposed to materialize in the near future).
Hmmm I like this idea. Are there any that implements this so far? Maybe something I can look into. :)
The four-finger swipe only works on the iPad. That said, I love those gestures. I feel nearly as fast and as comfortable multitasking on my iPad as I do when doing similar light tasks (web browsing, music listening, IMing, etc.) on either of my desktop operating systems (Windows and Ubuntu).
He doesn't entirely disagree, Ubuntu has a huge user segmentation model, as he said, you'd need to repeat the tests for each user type.
I don't think this affects Model S as much as it does the roadster - reason being - Model S is a car that you intend to use, not keep it in a garage as a collectors item - so it's probably going to be recharged on a regular basis. Stressing that it should be plugged if you intend to leave it for weeks is still important.
IRC is too complicated for most people. It's also limiting: by building a custom web interface, Seddit can integrate with Reddit more deeply than generic services can. For example, moderators of a subreddit are automatically moderators of the corresponding chatroom on Seddit.
An interesting note is it sounds like the CIA wants to host software internally (understandable) and pay for what they use by telling you how much they used.

Isn't that how most larger IT departments already work?

I remember at one job in the past, we would take a regular survey of Microsoft license usage on the network for reporting to said Microsoft.
