Yardsale - Mobile Marketplace, Seeking 1st iOS/Rails Engineer (YC S11) 
Yardsale is a top-5 iOS application in Lifestyle and top-125 overall. We’ve been experiencing explosive growth in a multi-billion dollar market through mobile, and have a clear path to revenue.

We’re a small team of developers rethinking the way people buy and sell things locally. We're well funded, our users love what we're building, and we do too.

We're a rails/iOS shop, seeking an iOS specialist or hardcore generalist. We're looking for individuals who:

- Above all, learn quickly

- Have a strong understanding of everything from optimized PostgreSQL to performance hacking UIWebViews

- Seek out the latest in tooling, iOS open source or clang features

This is a key technical role, with significant equity and lots of room to influence the strategic direction of the company. The best fit will probably be someone hoping to be a technical founder in their next role.

Yardsale is based in San Francisco's mission district. If you'd like to hear more please send your github profile or something you've built to jobs@getyardsale.com, or visit us at https://www.getyardsale.com

I ran into this problem with https://truefriender.com/ the solution I used was to use nginx instead of apache, nginx streams the file to disk and then I can handle it with PHP. I still have the 2GB problem but I've tested out Perl and I can go past it, now I just have to implement it.

Road trip!
I got hooked since the first season. This is the perspective of a huge breaking bad fan.

Personally, I watch it for subtle stuff, great scenes and the main plot(this can be annoying as episodes can end with unexpected cliffhangers).

Give it a try if it steers up your curiosity and you like the style.

The plot changes gradually, unpredictable, and awesome in my opinion.
This is usually "fixed" with a .gitkeep file in the deliberately-empty directory.

(Yes, it's a hack.)
While it's not as secure as an hardware token, you can get second-auth for free for any user with a more capable cellphone (e.g. a Nokia S60, iPhone, Android, BB, etc).

Google Authenticator is free for the user, and the algorithm used (TOTP/OATH - not to be confused with OAuth) is open and easy to implement: it's essentially just feeding the current unix time and a per-user secret to an HMAC-SHA1.
Social everything!
The tutorial is well done and fluid is very fun to use. I love how simple it is to setup simple transitions and "play" the app.

Dragging a page into the trashcan is inconsistent with deleting an element by hitting the trashcan button; it took me a bit of frustration to figure out. There's no way to figure out what the buttons do short of clicking on them to figure it out. Most features are intuitive but as evidenced by the "Actually it looks to me like it's only for iPhone design." comment the UI could use a little more explanation (there's no rule against using an icon /and/ text for menu options).

I really don't understand why there are so many negative comments, this is very nicely done and I can see it being useful. I'll definitely give using it a shot on my next mobile project.
I've heard from anti-vaccine advocates that a number of diseases were on the decline, and that vaccine use was insignifcant in that decline. But the vaccines were introduced anyway so you could say it was the vaccines that did it but other factors were at hand.

Sometimes I think correlation not only doesn't equal causation, but counters causation, like a son doing well not because of his overbearing mother, but in spite of it. (She would claim the credit anyhow.) - I've read about vaccines causing diseases they are proclaimed to guard against - "weaponized vaccines."
How would you compare Korma to say.. ActiveRecord?

I see a lot of individualistic comments already. I want to ask those people: how come bright people, on average, are not as successful if they live in a troubled country vs. a developed country? Isn't it that the country itself will provide the average and then the people diverge from it up or down?

Or in other words: if somebody says that you are the average of your friends everybody disagrees; if Einstein says "If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants." everybody agrees. Aren't the giants, Einstein's friends?
That may be a valid assumption, but it's also a dangerous one. A court cannot make the same one (and pronounce people innocent) as it would, I would expect, make it extremely hard to get the same person back in court given new evidence (they're innocent, the court said it).

So it's a bit like hypothesis testing, where you don't expect your hypothesis to be proven correct, you just expect it not to be disproved. Thus, further testing can continue.

In summary, someone who isn't found guilty isn't always innocent.
I have a carb heavy diet, and always have, but play alot of sports, and have always hovered in the 10% fat and below range.
That is great news!

My personal guesstimate is that the general American public is more aware of such dirty things than it was, say, 20 years ago and I think it is due to internet, mainly due to alternative news sources that would get the truth out because the lame-stream media would rather tell you songs about democracy and not tell you about the secrecy and anything bad the government and corporations have been doing.

These wiretappings were probably more focus on black liberation movements and "Commies" a few decades ago, then the focus has been on Muslims now that the US is not supporting Osama bin Laden type in Afghanistan (they are still propping up the regimes in Saudia etc and supporting Osama-types in Libya, Syria etc).

The shameless NYPD spied on entire Muslim community and on ordinary citizens without any probable cause, without any legal authority. Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder lied about it and the Department of (in)justice hasn't done anything to correct it.

Shady Companies With Ties to Israel Wiretap the U.S. for the NSA

April 3, 2012

http://mondoweiss.net/2012/07/muslim-civil-rights-groups-boy...

In the wake of the New York Police Department’s spy scandal, a coalition of Muslim groups in New York announced a boycott of the Ramadan conference, which was held this morning. Ramadan, the Islamic holy month, begins later this month.

I say the government and the corporations because it's all part of the same group of people, the Chertoff guy who gave us the porn scanners for TSA used to work for the Homeland Security.

The Summers guy hired by Obama to clean up the mess was the guy who helped create the mess.

There is good money to be made in this dirty business; we must kill them because otherwise X[n] is coming to get us.
President Y[m].

we must spy on our people because otherwise X[n] is coming to get us.
President Y[m].

Where m and n vary based on the year and X = {Bloody commies, Ruskies, Terrorists, Mozlums}

and Y = {JF Kennedy 1, LB Johnson 2, Jimmy Carter 3, Ronald Reagan 4, Bush I 5, Bill Clinton 6, Bush II, B Obama}

1 Wanted to "win" the Vietnam war rather than allow them to elect Ho Chi Minh (who would have won if elections were held, as Eisenhower himself acknowledged).

3 Helped South Korean dictator (yes, South Korean dictator) kill a few thousand protesters

4 Helped Saddam kill Iranians with US-supplied killing machines

5 The "I will never apologize for the United States — I don't care what the facts are" President (after killing a few hundred Iranians by shooting a civilian airplane) helped kill Iraqis on the pretext of helping Kuwaitis, remember the incubator babies hoax?

I agree, I didn't see anything wrong with the press release. The negative comments here are based on Oracle's long-term reputation. In the wake of the Sun acquisition, they've publicly mismanaged (Hudson) or outright destroyed (OpenSolaris) open-source communities.

I think it's going to take a lot of work for Oracle brand to gain any trust in the eyes of Linux nerds.
The big question is then, if consumption of animal fats isn't contributing to heart disease, then what's doing it?

We've found heart disease in Egyptian mummies, so it's been with us as long as paper has been. Is it merely a side-effect of living? Even swine have been found to have narrowing of the arteries (http://vet.sagepub.com/content/19/6/676.full.pdf).

If it's influenced by what we eat, can we change our diets and affect it, or is it entirely genetic? Do dietary changes affect it? If so, does anything reverse it?

I agree, animal fats don't appear to be the single cause, but if they aren't, what is?

The glasses that ship will of course be more aggressively miniaturized than the prototype seen in that demo video.
As I see it, this article boils down to "maintain relationships with people for profit, not fun". Which does not look like a good approach to relationships to me. Look at it this way: what would you do if you found out one of your friends did this and somehow you ended up on his "list"? Personally, I'd try to avoid contact with that person as much as possible.
You disagree with my statements now you're my own personal stalker? Resorting to some kind of mob mentality group think to rally support when rhetorical skills fail you is...weak. I can't help but notice that at least at this moment this is your only comment on this story so you don't even care about the subject at hand you just wanted to get a jibe in against me. You don't need a "killfile", you need help.
> Why bring it up at all?

Ever heard of black girls rock? This is a meme but most people have no clue.

> It's encouraging race discrimination either way

WHO is encouraged to discriminate racially by this? You? Not me.

If you are concerned with racial discrimination, please go visit your public schools across whatever U.S. state you live in and try to explain why there is such racial segregation even in the absence of school names such as Black Boys Academy. Hint, it ain't in the name.

Not till they turn a profit. He still gets a more than adequate salary for his work. A bonus not linked to performance is no longer a bonus, but rather another way of paying wages.
Thanks for pointing that out. I made slurgfest's comment a proxy for slurgfest when I interpreted your comment, and that is indeed a stretch. I agree that neither of you were all that harsh.
It does relate to your ability to bike in a straight line, but the other danger is that you're not looking at what other people are doing.

Relative to their width people on bikes move a lot more side-to-side than a car does - it's not uncommon to see a person on a bike weaving a couple of feet in either direction as they pedal. If cars did this the lanes would have to be 2-3 times the width of the car on either side to accomodate the movement.

Further, having one hand off the handlebars massively diminishes your ability to react safely and accurately.

Granted, the worst that might happen in a bike-on-bike crash is a broken bone or concussion, but for people who aren't at peak health (or who just get really unlucky) this could be a significant, even life-changing event.
This is very relevant to me. As someone who's doing the SV startup thing full time, spending all of my waking hours on learning / doing stuff / meeting people, am I seriously not going to regret taking a dump on my 20s in 10 or 20 years? Am I not going to regret missing out on youth, girls, fun and so on, if I spend all of these years working on achieving my dreams?
The forced selection from the drop down turned me off, too.
I just got my system76 laptop today with Ubuntu pre-loaded. Nothing like opening the box, turning on your new laptop, and just having it all work. Can't beat the prices either.
In some countries showing skin is illegal, just like in some countries posting a service that can be used for piracy is illegal, the analogy is correct - excepting the lack of extradition agreements.

You seem to be a Paypal fanboy.

Paypal was not the first to invent disposable credit cards.

http://news.cnet.com/2100-1017-245428.html

So you were saying?
I absolutely agree.

The problem these days is that easily digestible theories are now taken for fact. Because it's easy to digest and easy to transmit, they get spread very easily by the general population, even though they don't make sense.

"Eat fat, and your body turns that into fat. If you want to lose weight, then stop eating fat."

The funny thing is how violently people react when you explain to them that those theories are possibly wrong. My friend is "trying" to lose weight by cutting out the fat. When I tell her that she needs to cut carbs instead, she gets almost offended, and says that it doesn't work. Meanwhile, I lost 20 lbs in 5 months while on an aggressive South Beach diet (less than 100 g of carbs per day) and my cholesterol was extremely low.

When you look into the actual biochemistry of it, it really looks like the pathways that Atkins/South Beach diet talk about with respect to carbohydrates and blood sugar are the real culprits. The food we eat today is highly processed, and creates an over-balance of blood sugar, and that is the cause of why so many Americans are fat.

The food industry has found cheaper and more predictable ways of making our food (process the carbohydates into a fine powder, so that it's uniform and easy to cook with), but the side effect of this is that it causes our blood sugar to skyrocket and makes us fat because we are mostly sedentary (myself included).

The funny thing is that even the theories on cholesterol are coming into question. The absolute values of HDL/LDL may not be important, but some people are saying it's the ratio of HDL to LDL that matters. So companies like Pfizer that have been drugging people for years with Lipitor may just be extracting money from people with no real benefit.

Learning is NOT dependent on school. I am in charge of my education.

Take the initiative and recognize that the stuff worth learning takes tons of work, so stick with it and don't give up!
also consider my other comment http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=4262854 and understand that taking issue with the name, is precisely race discrimination. You'd feel better if it wasn't racial so you are almost certainly withholding support because it is racially identified. That's a self-contradicting position and the only way I can understand what you mean when you say it encourages race discrimination – because you have discriminated. Please prove me wrong with your support for BlackGirlsCode.
Highly-processed carbs cause a huge spike in blood sugar. The body balances this out by creating insulin which turns blood sugar into body fat, which is why Americans are so fat. Probably this extra body fat manifests itself into the plaque that clogs arteries.
First, I'm impressed that someone was uploading 2gb files back in 2003...

Agreed. Good to see that firefox is going to be able to do more than 2gb soon.

Don't live near where you are born just because you feel like you should. Do your research and move to a city that fits you. It doesn't matter how far away it is. Don't stay somewhere just because you feel tied to that place.

I wish I had realized that 15 years ago.
To clarify, bug 678648 was logged in 2011 and is marked as a duplicate of bug 215450 (the one from 2003): "uploading files that are larger the 2GB fails" @ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215450
I think it would be cool if new users could enter their interests when signing up, and be presented with a random list of 10-20 people whose Twitter profiles have been categorized with those interests. That would be a pretty cool and effective way to "quick start" one's usage of Twitter.

The article also made me wonder if the same thing could be said of Facebook, where people who find Facebook shallow do so because they simply have shallow Facebook friends. My initial hunch is yes, although Facebook has much bigger problems with regards to the kinds of "look at me!" behavior it encourages. But that's probably another conversation. :)
"Lifehacking" your friends for individual gain is going to leave you with no friends at all.

There's also a paradox to it; why would anyone who's supposedly "better" than you, have you as a friend?
Our attention span is getting shorter and shorter -- an instant try-out with a "wow" moment is a necessity. Very well done, held my attention long enough and will refer to for future use

ifttt.com has a dropbox-to-flickr recipe (http://ifttt.com/recipes/6804). Their dropbox channel provides 2 triggers, one for any new file in your public folder, and one specifically for new photos in your public folder (it doesn't say exactly what the definition of "photo" is, though).

I haven't tried it, so I don't know how gracefully it handles renames or moves.
Coursera: Top US Universities to Offer Free Classes Online
Apple was not first to invent MP3 players or tablets. Amex's program was discontinued. Were you trying to attack your own two petty arguments against the one bullet point you decided to pull out of a broader comment?

What I was saying is that you're being petty and your comments were pointless. I'm still saying it. I made that quick list of things PayPal has tried because the parent commenters were "honestly curious" if PayPal has done anything since the eBay acquisition. They clearly have. Picking off a point and going "but that was discontinued" doesn't add a darned thing to the conversation.
