Here's the Product Manager listing. Please contact our office manager, Erin Alex if you're interested. She can be reached via: erin(dot)alex(at)maxifier(dot)com

Position: Product Manager (all levels)
Location: New York City

Job Responsibilities
+ Own it: Ownership and accountability for new revenue-generating features.
+ Soup to nuts: Responsibility over all product lifecycle, from vision to handoff.
+ Collaborate: Interactively work with Senior Management, Sales, Marketing, Professional Services, Account Management, and R&D to define product vision based on customer feedback and functional needs and requirements.
+ Drive it: Define and drive go-to-market strategy, planning, and execution for new product offerings and releases.
+ Be an all-star: You look at the stack of responsibilities that a PM owns and you say "yes, of course." Competitive analysis, backlogs, drafting marketing collateral, internal training on your new features, go-to-market, feedback loops, customer betas, agile user stories, helping with product marketing, working with the UX team, and all the usual mini-specs, daily standups, iteration planning, and customer validation. Plus you can tell us more responsibilities that we forgot in this list.

Qualifications
+ Don’t hate ads: 5+ years of Online Media or AdTech Product Management experience. Prior work experience at an ad server, network, or ad technology platform preferred.
+ Be edumacated: At least have a B.A./B.S. or equivalent degree. Kudos if you have a technical degree (Computer Science / Engineering) or an MBA from a top school, but it’s not required.
+ You've got to be able to talk to the geeks: You'll work with an engineering counterpart to define product release requirements, and work with marketing communications to define the go-to-market strategy, helping them understand the product positioning, key benefits, and target customer. That means you need to speak two languages in addition to your own.
+ Terabytes of data don’t intimidate you: You won’t be manipulating the data yourself, but the product you are building will. Wait, did we say terabytes? We meant petabytes.
+ Don’t work solo in your fiefdom: Excellent communications skills. It's hard to preach if no one can understand what you're saying or writing, right?
+ Control your product roadmap: Scope, needs, requirements and uh, yeah, resources. You know how to manage these. That's the forced choice/technical project management part of the role. Sounds fun, right? Help us figure out which two of three things we want: good, fast, or cheap (and we always want good).
+ Manifesto: You get agile. Good agile vs bad agile, you know the difference. You know why this bullet starts with the word "manifesto."
+ Cha-ching: Proven ability to balance the need of the customer while maintaining corporate objectives. Be laser-focused on helping all of us make money.
+ Attitude and team fit matters: Organized with a rigorous attention to detail, drive for excellence, and a positive "can-do" approach. You turn buzzwords into reality.

Sometimes inappropriate tone can turn people off of a discussion. That's one of the perks of reading; if you don't care to be shouted at, you can stop reading. Presenting what you think in a way that makes people want to keep reading is important, and failing to do that lost her a reader.
SEEKING FREELANCER - remote

We're looking for a developer to expand and maintain a B2B web application, both frontend and backend. We use Python and PostgreSQL server-side (with Flask and SQLAlchemy), mostly ExtJS client-side. This will be a full-time job for at least 3 months. Contact: hn at keoxhq dot com.
Its seems that they don't like to be perceived that way. It gets funny:

It's fluent in 9 languages including English, German, French and Ukrainian.

What, do I have to download it to see if its fluent in Russian? Come on, why do you hide it?
I only recently started visiting hacker news more often than slashdot. I love slashdot because of the interesting discussions. I think the comments on slashdot are still the best. But the problem that started to annoy me more and more is the articles themselves, which are often 3 days late, often too political, often plain advertising, and sometimes have a summary including something everyone knows like "WWW, which means World Wide Web", baffling the commentators.

And that's why I like hacker news now: more technical, less political.
Ask HN: How does a programmer get into the Finance field?
As a programmer, I always have been fascinated by the financial markets. I research and trade stocks now and then, but I think it would be really cool to do it as a job. How does a programmer become a trader/quant/financial analyst?

Some background: I have a Bachelors Degree in International Business Administration, have 5 years of experience programming PHP ( blergh, but I had to start somewhere ), 4ish year Python and Django, 2 ish years Ruby and Ruby on Rails. At the moment I have launched a startup ( worked 1,5 years on that ), but it has not really taken of. At the moment I mainly do web development for a living. My Bachelor thesis was on the subject of the financial markets. Any advice on where to start or what would be smart to do ( education on a university, self-education, apply for a job right now etc. )

Thanks for your input!!
Thats was a great Q/A article on fusion. That one deserves sticky.
I'd say a key innovation of Mozilla Persona is the marketing. It's got the Mozilla brand on it, it's well explained, the demos are slick. That may seem like fluff but it may make a significant difference in adoption. (See also: Stripe.)

I was discussing wanting to build a decent framework with my ex, and I said it would be a ‘cool’ thing to do. A brief bit of word association to-and-fro and me being reminded of the lyric/phrase ‘Cooler than a polar bear’s toenails’ I/we arrived at Inuit :)

Great job, felt like a really polished pitch. Loved the video. I wonder if the would kids ever get weary of seeing the same images in their parents' replies?
Firebird client for Node in pure Javascript is updated : 0.0.6
I'm guessing you didn't read the article? It wasn't about the queue (or lack of) it was about the lack of women at these events.
Note that GP said 'was'. I cannot tell how it is now, but there definitely was a point in time when Slashdot went for a dumb JS-enabled-dynamic-interactive fad and totally screwed the usability of their comments section. This is what made me stop participating.

As others have said, it's very hard to discriminate against women since it's is mostly based on problem solving/programming skill. But that is not to say there isn't a general air chauvinism and/or objectification in the tech industry.

I agree that getting more women into tech is a solution, but this always operates under the assumption that women actually want to be in tech.
/. has some serious groupthink

Did you intend the irony here?
New Laws May Force Amazon to Close in India
Serious question: what's the point of all these Node.JS frameworks trying to mimic existing web framework functionality? Once you start adding synchronous database access, don't you lose more of the advantages of NodeJS anyway? Seems like all these frameworks appearing are trying to solve a problem already solved.
Java Code Quality Tools - Overview
On the contrary, I think that automatic image carousels are exactly user interface with a purpose. They're what happens when the purpose of the website is to be demonstrated to "stakeholders", the people who sign off on the university budget, the people who don't use the internet and just want to get back to running their restaurant, etc.

Normal users would go to the site to use it for the purpose of finding some bit of information; instead, in this case, another person loads it up on their laptop or projector for the stakeholder and talks about "hey, look what we spent your money on". The stakeholder does not actually touch the computer running the web browser.

(...that's my theory, anyway.)

Still - it is a good idea to steer users away from arrows, inclduing to disable them in default files if you're mentoring.

Why?

This is the line of thinking that I was intending to challenge.

A wise man once said to me -- if the user and the software don't fit together elegantly, there's only two ways you can respond: by fixing the software, or fixing the user. In nearly every case, fixing the software to work the way the user expects is easier and cheaper than trying to fix every user who ever encounters it to work the way the program wants them to.

Steering users away from arrows is trying to fix the user. It's pushing her away from what every other bit of software on her system, including the OS itself, has trained her to do, to a different pattern that this one program believes is better.
Sure., especially if I can write off the hours as a charitable donation.
Any reason it's all contained in one file instead of broken up?

New York, NY or remote. Intern or Junior developer.

Beagle is like Craigslist, but just for college students. We are creating a simple, secure network for students to post and run tasks and errands in their community. getbeagle.com

This is a chance to work on something that will be used by thousands of students, and to be one of the first ten team members.

All software engineers will be working on one or two of our main projects:

#API: Our API is the core that powers everything else. It’s written in Clojure. You’ll be the one actually implementing all the features and exposing them in a developer-friendly way. This is a fun challenge for anyone interested in software design and architecture. We use MongoDB on the backend so it’s best if you are at least somewhat familiar with it.

#iOS app: We have a hybrid iOS app, which lets us have a native experience while staying agile, with quick iterations and frictionless deployment. You’ll mostly be working with the Python web app, but will also have to work with the native iOS shell occasionally, too. You’ll have to work closely with the API, as all new features are be added there first.

#Website: Our public-facing website is a simple Node.js app. You’ll be working closely with the API to mirror certain features from the iOS app to the website. Familiarity with MongoDB is preferable.

Additionally we have some other projects planned like a new administrative interface to the API, and a dashboard that reports key stats we can track.

A Casual Vacancy, a serious rip off?
What he is saying is that although that's the assumption, programming ability can be quantified such that the assumption becomes irrelevant.
It appears that the traditional male superiority in logic and math can be traced almost completely to two things:

- the tendency of people to assume that boys are better at math, encouraging boys and discouraging girls

- the tendency for people to encourage young boys to play with spatial & logic toys such as Lego and for girls to play with dolls

I've heard complaints about the lack of men in nursing, education and day care.

In education & day care, the complaint usually centers around the lack of role models for children.

In nursing, it's usually related to the anecdotal observation that male nurses are almost always good nurses.

As for fashion, males seem to be quite prominent already.
tl;dr Uses an e-mail address to make public key crypto easier. Sounds nice.

Unfortunately, most people fuck up PKI and now we're relying on a third party (Mozilla) to authenticate all our logins.

You could also just implement client certificates without a third party. Issue your users a cert when they register or log in. This would be similarly "automatic" authentication without relying on Persona to be stable and secure 24/7. I wonder why they didn't just make a browser plug-in that simplifies using client certificates (without the expense of supporting a highly reliable 3rd-party site and extra code to make it work)
Or affect being gay. I understand that's quite commonplace.

Relocation of down vote icon per post

-------------------------------------

Currently the downvote icon is directly below the upvote icon. This gives a small margin for error and I have noticed a few times were people have accidently downvoted an artcle due to this.
Instead of the layout we have now ( A= Upvote icon and V= downvote icon):

A Name n minutes/hours ago | link

V

I propose that a layout such as this:

A Name n minutes/hours ago | link V

At least to me it would make more sence from a usibility regard to avoiding misclicking and more useful for those upon smaller screen sizes as well.
Great idea and name. My only criticism is for it to be really smart I'd love to be able to reply without having to login to maily. That would really become like a safe version of email. Another would be for the child to be able to request to add a contact (like a friend) where the parent is sent a notification with the email and a note.

The other thought would be an iPhone app. The iPad was definitely a smart place to start with but I know a lot of kids (maybe slightly older) have iPod Touches with parental settings on, these are replacing the Nintendo DS and goes everywhere with them.
I wrote an emacs-based e-mail client "mu4e";
see e.g. http://emacs-fu.blogspot.fi/2012/08/introducing-mu4e-for-ema...

Its user-interface is a bit mutt-influenced, but it's fully query-based and very fast, and of course you can extend it using elisp. A fairly young project, but it's near-fully documented, and the manual has instructions on how to set things up with Gmail.
Alcorn McBride | Full-Time | Orlando, FL

Hardware/Software Design Engineer

We develop audio, video, lighting, and show control systems for themed entertainment. You'll find our equipment in the world's biggest theme parks, museums, and attractions.

We're looking for someone with general knowledge of Digital Video technology and Video Compression. RTOS/Embedded software experience is ideal.

It's amazing to see the things our creative customers do with our equipment, and it's exciting to work on next-generation tools and hardware to enable our customers to create the "next-big-thing". You'll wear a lot of hats( today I'm bouncing between debugging an iPad app and working on an FPGA design), but your primary focus will be on our video products.

If you'd like to chat about it, my contact info is in my profile.

..is this a sneaky way to force us buy an iPhone 5?

No, it isn't.

Drama sucks, could you try to not stir any up for no reason?
Because WordPress is a really mature platform for publishing that is vastly simpler than just about anything else out there, especially considering the power it wields. This is a really great enhancement to the platform and I'm excited to use it. Before, it was pretty difficult to collaborate on posts, especially after the initial publish date.
Have any of the other major browsers made any public statements about BrowserID or Persona? How about Paul Irish or other developer relations type people? Somebody has to have said something even if it was 'unofficial'.
Why would you want to break it up?
I've been waiting for this post since you first hinted at it. Looking forward to reading it, thanks.
I second the suggestion of maildir-utils/mu[1].

Here's my setup for that, in case anyone is interested: https://gist.github.com/45e318c68eb5a52e1646. It's essentially a cronjob (LaunchAgent on OSX) that calls a shell script to update the index periodically, plus a few macros to make searching from within mutt easier. To use this, you'll need to create a "Search" folder for maildir-utils to store results in.

>I can imagine a future where people use tablets to such a degree that the average person never interacts with a Windows PC (except, ironically enough, for iCloud).

How does replacing the Windows PC with an iPad(70% of tablets sold are iPads) lead to a better future? If anything, it makes it a lot worse, locked down single hardware vendor, 30% cut of app price, 30% cut of in-app purchases etc.

This reflects the problem with many on Slashdot and even HN to some extent, the unhealthy fixation on beating MS (see Ubuntu bug #1) rather than promoting better and open software. MS is always seen dying by the next quarter from the 15 years that Slashdot has been in existence.

The amount of misinformation,knee jerk FUD, slanted coverage and story selection just gets annoying and repulsive after a while. For a small example see the summary and comments on this story from 2009 about Windows 7.

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/02/16/2259257/draconian-dr...

The lesser said about the DRM FUD spread about Windows Vista, the better. And I see much of the same on HN too, articles not negative about Windows 8 are flagged off the front page quickly even if they ever reach it and all we ever seem to see are the negative ones.

This kind of insularity causes broadminded folks to leave the site(s) and makes the problem worse with the echo chamber.
I get the same thing. I guess there is no love for Linux
As a daily Vélib' user from day one, I'll add some insights a one-time user may have missed:

* It's often the fastest way to get to another point less than ~5km away.

* You quickly notice how most of the traffic regulation is only designed for cars.

* You have a much better visibility of the traffic (with a correctly adjusted saddle) than a car driver.

* Maneuverability and standing start acceleration (the first seconds) are also way above the average car, so if you're used to it, you'll easily make your way in the congested traffic.

* It's common practice to run red lights or stop signs (hence the first point). There's some debate about allowing the "turn right" but we're still waiting. Still, we're not crazy but you quickly notice it makes no sense at all to stop & start a 20kg bike every 100 meters at a pedestrian crossing with obviously no pedestrians waiting or at road junction with no incoming traffic.

* Most bike lanes are overrun by clueless pedestrians.

* European cities like Paris predate cars and are more dense with smaller streets which feel much safer than higway-like american streets.

Crossing the place de l'étoile ain't for every vélib user - http://youtu.be/lay8aZlsbB0 - but it's funny to do it.
"I've had some interactions with a few people off the HN freelancing posts that seemed to have increased their prices after listening to Patio11's podcast but havent thought about how they're going to add value"

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not familiar with this podcast & I'm curious what in particular you object to.

yup. after Nominet realised how easy it is to raise dough after raising £3m on 1/2letter .co.uk auctions last October, and getting in the global trend of .names, they are now eagerly looking forward to earn much more millions from touting .uk to the swallowing public. And Nominet plans to sabotage everyone, who is happily trading under .co.uk at the moment, either by: a) selling .uk version to their competitors, if .co.uk owners do not have trademark or b) forcing them to 'sunrise' auctions, competing with every willing registered trademark or 'unregistered rights' holder and bidding against each other paying up thousands to Nominet. All that is just to secure .uk, so they can continue trading uninterrupted.
Sometimes calming down is an appropriate response to the situation at hand, though.
