GoCardless (YC S11) is hiring a London-based Ruby Developer
GoCardless is a London-based payments company that makes it simply for merchants to collect money from their customers by linking bank accounts directly to our systems. As a result, there are no credit card networks involved in transactions - payments become much cheaper and more flexible.

We're a small but very technically-focussed company - even our sales/biz-dev guys write ruby, python & php to a reasonable standard - and we try to find tech-driven solutions to problems whenever possible. Developers are core to the company's success, so we're working very hard on recruiting the best people out there. The working environment is pretty flexible - while we work hard, we don't really have fixed hours and people are encouraged to work from home if it helps their productivity.

We're solving some really challenging technical problems across the whole stack, including deep integration with legacy banking systems, which brings its own set of challenges.

We're backed by Y Combinator, Accel Partners & Passion Capital, and we pay competitive salaries + stock.

We're looking for a Ruby developer who can work in our office in central London - for a full job spec, please see https://gocardless.com/jobs

Email tom@gocardless.com to apply. No recruiters, please!
Forkwell - SNS for Geeks
Seems pretty straightforward to me -- since it's a DoS that doesn't put users' information at risk, just publish it without naming the company.
but what about spontaneity?

As to the rest, there were identical dire warnings with the rise of cell phones. We seem to have managed.
If you are providing a communication routing service, you MUST have information about sender* and recipient. That is not a problem with PGP encryption, it is a problem with people who wish to use public routing services like Gmail.

Furthermore, since the internet is also a public communication routing service itself, there is a tradeoff between information leaked to the email provider, and information leaked to the ISP. Using a smaller email routing service implicitly gives the ISP more specificity, and using a large one gives the email provider more specificity.

Since it is, in general, harder to access an ISP anonymously than it is to access an email provider anonymously, the current state of using large email services is in many ways superior from a privacy perspective.

* sender if you want ACK, and recipient so you can deliver the message
This was the most interesting comment here, more than the main post itself.
I'm finishing my PhD, and starting a post-doc in the fall. I had wanted to break out into industry, because I didn't see myself in academia in the long term, but I didn't get anywhere with job applications, so here I am.

I have a few questions:

1. My work consumes most of my time and energy - how would one find time to work on side projects and build a portfolio, when the academic workload is so all-consuming

2. I felt like I had to apply for industry jobs in my niche, otherwise I would be competing against a much larger pool of general engineers/science graduates. Considering that I've spent most of the last 5-6 years focusing on work in a specific niche, how can this be used for leverage for more general technical positions?

Thanks for the interesting article!
If I had a huge company, I would probably try to operate the departments like little startups.

I was in a company that tried this. Sometimes, you get a group with all the disadvantages of being in a small company combined with the disadvantages of being in a big one.

By the way, I should've mentioned this -- you can get WS-* -based federation without having to "adopt a WS-star XML-hell enterprise standard".

The way you'd do that is by putting ADFS or another WS-Federation-capable proxy (UAG, maybe) in front of your Django/Node.js/etc. app. All you need to do then is to deal with claims. Not even, if you have something like UAG transform claims into AD roles. Note that that approach doesn't rely on AD. You could use a flat text file, XML or SQL Server.

And while I'm here - coding up something that uses a non-ideal technology (XML) is still a better option than re-inventing the wheel. 'Specially in this context.

I agree with this completely, I'm beginning to believe that these 'cool' and 'innovative' gadgets are beginning to strip away at the individual's creativity and existence.

I'm not saying this technology wouldn't be cool or awesome to use, I just don't see it benefitting the majority of humanity in the future.
There are dozens of reasons people do things like this. It's good programming practice for those of us who aren't as confident in our abilities. It gets you some notoriety in the community, maybe even a community you're a big part of. It's something that can go on a resume really easily, if used.

Or maybe, you just wanted to have fun so you spent a night doing this. It isn't a big deal. If you don't waste one night of your life every once in awhile, you're pretty unlike the rest of humanity.

Show HN: daring.is/early -- online shopping should just. be. easier.
All three of us hate (1) spending 10 hours Googling to figure out which [TV|coffeemaker|whatever] to buy, and (2) standing in a store aisle and browsing endless Amazon product reviews on our iPhones.

We thought we could do better than the filter-by-spec sites that look like airplane dashboards and give you [generic|stale|suspect|lame] recommendations, so we're building our own.

What's different about ours: (1) Based on online ratings and reviews we've crawled and parsed, we use a weighted formula to tell you which products are best based on the priorities you choose -- not just overall best-in-category ratings with exclusion filters like you see on most sites; (2) We've tried to keep the interface super-simple and in plain English, so your mom doesn't have to know what a megapixel is or what 120Mhz means to make the right choice.

Please let us know what you think!

This leads to the conclusion that big companies should not innovate this way, rather foster own startups (with major or exclusive ownership) which are not associated with the brand (at least initially, while in risky phase).

OTOH buying a successful startup in the same field may be the simpler way to go?
files go in and out thru email, seems to work well
As I'm currently in the middle of research trying to get to the productivity of programmers, my first question (since the one-day caveat has already been pointed out) is they say they're more productive, and they have incentive to. Were they actually more productive? Are there productivity measures in place for each employee? (This was most of the HQ staff, so not all were programmers/knowledge workers.)
I wonder what economical consequences would have that kind of social crisis in China.
I tried Airbrake yesterday and it wasn't that helpful. I had to turn it off quickly as I was inundated with errors.

You can see from your screenshot that you're getting Script Error at line 0. A number of other errors pop up that I couldn't quite figure out.

For instance, when the variable 'google' isn't found it's because the google javascript never loaded. But, how many browsers are rejecting the google maps javascript?

Yes, but for 1 DTU there are plenty of other Universities aiming only at big numbers of students. Also, degrees are so inflated that companies keep asking for a Master even after 2 or 3 years of experience.

I am not sure Danish are happy. Are they? And also, will they be? Jobs in Copenhagen are extremely few and hard to get (especially if you are a foreigner...). I know Danish people easily find jobs now, but what about in 10 years? or 20? or 30?

I just can't see the sustainability of this system. Taxes are way too high and the State wants way too much control over things.
Ask HN: Community site for bootstrappers, similar to HN?
Does anyone know of a site similar to HN, but intended more for people who are bootstrapping (or want to, or have) a startup, as opposed to going the outside funding route?

Note: I have absolutely nothing against startups who seek outside funding. The reality is that that path isn't viable for everyone.

From a pure Speech Recognition POV, I will believe Google Goggles is possible when they somehow solved the major problems in Speech Recognition.

I think one could take the form factor and have an awesome product without speech recognition. The potential for AR games alone is compelling. Real time translation of foreign language signs would be useful. Tourist guidebooks would be great. HUD for maps/gps alone could be a viable market.
I for one would vote for common sense, which would get rid of, say 1/3 of the entire planet's search queries. That amount of course is taken completely off the ceiling, but it get's my point across. That being said, if no one were searching, then no one would be finding. Searching is the thing that makes us learn, I mean, in a school library you also search for a book, right? No books are going to run into your lap by themselves. So, unless some of you geniuses have a way to fix that and make human race even more lazier, do let me know.

That's not the sufficient advice. The real advice would be - what to do when you've build it and it doesn't work as expected. And that's something what should be planned or you will loose time roaming in the darkness.

1) Nobody cares who your parents are. That's one of the key pieces of magic in Silicon Valley and entrepreneurship in general.

2) Good ideas can't be bought. Everyone faces challenges and mountains to climb in starting a venture -- access to capital is just one of them. While having easier access to cash is helpful in the recipe, it's far from a determinant for success.

I have been thinking the same thing while reading the article and comments. I haven't been to any of the larger conferences, so I thought I'd keep my mouth shut in case I'm simply missing something. There are a couple monthly tech meetings in Indy that either are at a bar, or go to a bar afterward. I don't recall having seen a single intoxicated person at one of the local events, let alone a majority of the attendees.
Drop the hostility and reread what I said. I didn't say "Windows is now better than Macs."
I think the main reason it turns into "binge conferences" is because people treat them as a vacation.

Away from home, why not have a few drinks.

It sounds like Airbrake was very helpful. It is telling you that users are experiencing errors frequently, something you didn't know before. If, for example, the "google javascript never loaded" situation is common you'd want to either fix that or have your own script work around it -- at the very least, let the user know why the page is broken and that it isn't your fault.

Line 0 script errors can be from dynamically loaded code, such as JSONP requests or `eval()` code.
I don't know how big the company is, but after a certain bigness, all of the people who could fix problems like this have moved on. The only people left are managers who fix "problems" with lawyers. A classic "when all you've got's a hammer" situation.

They might not be refusing to fix the problem. They might actually be unable with the tech talent they've got left.

My advice? Don't look like a nail.

> Taxes are way too high

As an American who's moved to Denmark, I really don't see this, at least for anyone in the middle class. I make a middle-class professional income, and my overall effective tax rate is about 40% (incl. payroll taxes). I moved from California, where the overall effective state+federal tax rates on the same income would be around 35% (also incl. payroll taxes). A 5% difference isn't really enough for me to care much; the two countries differ in so many other ways that a 5% tax difference is way down on the list of why I would choose to remain in Denmark or return to the US. I'll probably eventually return to the U.S., but mostly because it feels more culturally like "home" (I'm American and not Danish, and that's something relatively difficult to change), not because I feel oppressed by taxes here.
Um...isn't this what Google+ is supposed to do, in effect? By registering your +1's for sites and users, Google gets a good fix of where you like your information from.

However, the solution you propose would fail if similar precedents are to be considered. Users do not like manually curating lists (remember Facebook friend lists?). On a philosophical point, your solution requires that users know what they don't know: that is, they don't know that the "poker" question at a given time might be better answered by a site outside their circle. If users were encouraged to curate their own sources to limit the search for knowledge from, then that encourages the echo chamber phenomenon which ends up hurting the "open" web.
Haha! I thought that was going to be dropped in at some point as well. "We need less search, and more decision."

These articles feel more like marketing pieces than actual thought-out articles. Other than the Google bashing, what was suggested for a solution?

I'm slightly incredulous when Microsoft calls out Google on search practices.. Weren't they caught copying Google's results last year..?

"Serve up bad results and the user must search again and this doubles the number of sponsored links you get paid for."

One word: competition.

Google knows that, for its users, Bing or Yahoo is only a click away. They also know that their customer's loyalty is only as strong as their last search and, once a user switches default search engine, it is very difficult to get them back.

How to promote your website with articles and Links.
How to promote your website with articles and Links.

Article marketing basically involves writing articles about a particular topic or niche area of your website and submitting them to article directories on the internet with links back to your website in order to create awareness, information and knowledge about the topic, product or service. There are several things that a website owner can benefit from using article marketing as a way of promoting their website. Some of the benefits include traffic generation, link building, website awareness etc. Some of the things to consider critically when promoting your website through article marketing include -:
Target Keywords
Articles that are written for the purpose of article marketing must be optimized for specific keywords that are related to such websites. This makes the articles to appear easily in search queries relating to such keywords. The keywords must be related to the website in order to provide the desired results. It is often advised that new websites that want to rank well in a niche or for a keyword that is competitive should target keywords that are long tailed phrases maybe three to four word phrases.

Good Quality Content Articles
Another critical factor is that articles must have good quality content before they can be approved for publishing. Articles that are poorly written with grammatical errors and inadequate word count may not be approved. Articles that are rich in good quality content not only get approved for publishing; such articles normally attract good traffic to the owner’s website. People are hungry for good information, hence when they see an article with good information they are always likely to click on the web link provided.

Article Directories Rules
Almost all of the article directories currently available on the internet presently have some rules, terms and conditions that people must fulfil before they are allowed to submit articles to such directories. Some of the rules are usually editorial guidelines but sometimes there are a number of other rules beside editorial guidelines that must be fulfilled. Most of the directories usually demand that your articles should not contain more than two self seeking links (i.e. links to your own website or affiliate links), and some do not accept affiliate or any other kind of money generating links in articles submitted to them. The articles must be original and of a particular length in words. There several of such rules, ensure you read the terms of service for such directories before you start submitting articles.

A good directory to start submitting your Articles is http://rids.us
You can also submit your links at their Link Directory http://rids.us/link-directory/
