SEEKING WORK - I am graduating student from IIT Delhi, India

Following is my experience and list of projects with links. (The same is on my gist https://gist.github.com/sravfeyn/13534c67812183235a2c )

Some of projects are on [my github](http://github.com/sravfeyn)

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

I shipped products outside of College/Work

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

* I hacked around [our campus shared-ssh spaces](http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3554318) to [automate file-sharing via peer-server-peer](https://github.com/sravfeyn/SparkDC), when the campus LAN was blocked.

* I created an [instant-search for movies](http://instamovi.com), when I realized more movie buffs like myself want quick ratings, trailers for movies as they type in names.

* I fixed [event-publishing in our campus](http://www.iitdevents.appspot.com/SetupCalenders), with an automated event update system, that scans for events on FB pages, Google Calenders of our campus boards.

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

I have worked in a high-tech start-up

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

I worked in a [high-tech Valley based start-up](https://angel.co/hachi) as a tech intern and then as tech consultant when I figured out start-ups are where my solutions can address a million-people's problems.

I pushed code in first week, solved problem of finding network reach (# of people you can connect to using your FB, LI, TW friends) until four degrees. Latter, I PoC-ed a new Architecture for improving search speed (based on six fields in a combined graph of FB, LI, TW. It's an awesome product for networking, you should [check-out](http://gohachi.com)). We brainstormed and after great set of changes from team, started implementing it.

This speed can only be possible at start-up

I loved it and I decided to work for a start-up where the most awesome people solve hardest problems making life simpler and a little magical.

Let's talk

----------

If you are building an awesome product with smart people where none cares about titles but everyone has a part of product-ownership, talk to me. I would love to talk you about an opportunity at your start-up. Ping me on gmail sravfeyn@gmail.com or [twitter](http://twitter.com/sravfeyn) or a leave comment below and I will get back to you
Glad to hear you had a good time. For anyone wondering, I think internship app deadline has passed already for this summer -- I'll mention internships as well when the fall season rolls around.
I would like to discuss this claim that it takes a lot of money to bring a drug to market, and this is why drugs are currently so expensive.

I never asserted your second clause. Pharma makes a shit-ton of profit, indeed.

I personally am grateful for your research in this comment(+1)- I regret that I don't have the time to have a proper discussion right now. Perhaps someone else could pick it up.
I've seen a couple of these before, but this is by far the nicest. Love that it spits out a single GB number so you know how big of a SSD you'd need for it all...

Saw a couple of issues you could improve if you like:
1) Civilization 4 (and all DLC) shows up twice, but with no price
2) GTA3/VC/SA all show up twice
3) GTA1+2 show up as $50; you actually can't buy them on Steam, they're just in the $50 GTA Collection
4) Maybe remove 'the' when sorting

Edinburgh, Scotland.
Full Time

We're looking for a full time developer from our fantastic offices at the Edinburgh Tech Cube (http://www.techcu.be) with spectacular views of Arthur's seat and the Meadows.

Remote work is fine after a "burn-in" period of a few months (we've got engineers happily working from Spain and Brazil at the moment) but we like to get to know the new folks in person first!

Detailed job description can be found on our about page (http://www.getadministrate.com/about)

We're using a combination of technologies:
Crufty old PHP (being refactored), and newer PHP (Doctrine)

All new development is being done with:
Python, SQL Alchemy, Flask, and AngularJS using the Bootstrap UI framework

We're looking for smart people that get things done using the above techs.

If you're debating sending us your CV, we've hired two top devs from these threads in the last 6 months, and we don't mind hiring people who have never completed university or don't look great "on paper".

We're growing really quickly, have a small team, a challenging product that's mission critical for our clients, and we're located in one of the most beautiful cities in the world with remote workers across the Central Belt of Scotland (and beyond).

If you're outside the EU, we can look into visa sponsorship in very special cases, but this can be a long and difficult process, particularly for the UK. Sorry.

Email me if interested, my name is John: jjp@getadministrate.com

A good April Fool as it is, sadly, quite believable.
And in my experience, "poor" here doesn't necessarily mean impoverished, either (although that clearly makes it worse). This applies even to average, middle-class U.S. high schools. There's very little info on what opportunities are available or how to go about obtaining them. The best students are usually off the school's radar because they have no problem passing the state tests (and why should anyone care beyond that?).

You could replace "poor" with "not rich" and get the same result. I never thought of myself as poor at all until I had some encounters similar to what the author describes.
It's really insulting to reduce a human being to some kind of archetype incapable of adapting to a situation. Steve was a bright guy -- I'm sure that if he ever found himself in a position where he needed to apply as an employee of a company, he would know how to 'play the game' and adapt to the situation.

Also, I'm sick of hearing people downplay Jobs' role in Apple and giving Woz all of the credit (although I'm not surprised; I'm assuming that many introverted code monkeys here aspire to be the unsung hero co-founder of a company).

It's the same shit I hear about how the Beatles would be nothing without George Martin or LSD. It should go without saying that these revolutionary things (i.e. Apple and the Beatles) are products of both serendipitous events AND the surrounding cultural context. Yes, if you remove one piece of the puzzle, OF COURSE the end-result will be different. But what makes it a moot point is that the converse is also true -- George Martin would be nothing without the Beatles, and Woz would be completely unheard of if it weren't for Steve Jobs.
Philadelphia Suburbs (Blue Bell) - Wingspan Technology
Full Time, Intern

We are hiring Software Engineers, DevOps, and DBAs at all levels, from fresh meat to veteran architects.
Our product domain is web-based enterprise applications for regulated industries. We are growing rapidly and gaining market share. We write web-based software that provides our clients with powerful and intuitive tools to manage their documents.

Our engineering team is diverse and senior-heavy - we have a few startup veterans, a Haskell guy, some people who like speaking at conferences and meetups, and even some game developers. We used AJAX before it was called AJAX. The engineering “managers” aren’t really managers - they’re the ones who architected the products and lead their maintenance. Engineers in charge means no red tape or other silly productivity barriers like at larger companies.

Nice work.

Incredipede shows up as "Unavailable" in the list.
Here is the link to the steam page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/230150/
From a casual glance:

- Not all links have a title attribute

- Large lists of links do not have a skip link.

- Searchform is a javascript submit, with no fallback or warning (doesnt work without javascript support)

- Mailto: adresses have subject preset.

- Links are not underlined.

- Popular topics links are black instead of blue, and the hovercolor doesn't register for the colorblind.

- Larger images often lack an alt-attribute.

- Inline CSS hampers custom user stylesheets.

- Submenu is somewhat confusing, visually disjointed from the main menu.

- The contact form is a table without a table summary, and doesn't work without javascript enabled, without a warning.

- Missing a breadcrumb

- Low contrast for blue links on white background.

- Trouble finding the contact form. Submenu is initially hidden and you have to select "Contact information" from a list of links inside the "People" page.

- After submitting form: <h1>&nbsp;</h1><h1><strong>Message Sent</strong></h1><p>&nbsp;</p>

- Font-stack of Helvetica renders ugly on Windows machines

- Form labels are not bold, above the form input, or of reasonable font-size.

- Content pages don't start with the content, but with a huge sidebar of links, not conform reading pattern.

- Both HTML and CSS are not valid.

- http://www.nngroup.com/articles/ is somewhat paralizing with information/link overload.

I do like the design a lot, it being vanilla Foundation.

Email relevant information (resume, cover letter, etc) to php@tid.al. Hope to hear from you!
Why drugs cost so much isn't really that hard to figure out.

Drugs cost a lot of money to develop. On average it costs somewhere between $250M (for an orphan disease) to $1B (for a primary care drug). The problem is that most drugs fail during development and when you take that into consideration, it's typically over $1B to develop a drug.

Where does that money come from? Just like money for anything else, it comes from the marketplace. People (not unlike readers of HN) take their money and put it into investments that get them an optimal return. If you eliminate patents, you eliminate the mechanism to get a return on R&D dollars invested. No patent (or at least a mechanism to get a return on an R&D investment) and you have no drug.

Nice article.

Zack, you say pick a language "Ruby or Python". I started out in PHP (I have no recollection why) and while I'm far from perfect, I know it well enough to build functioning things and more importantly to figure where to find answers when I'm stuck.

Yet whenever I read other people's writing about coding, almost without fail people say "PHP sucks, do Python" or "PHP sucks, learn Ruby".

Without getting into the arguments about which language is better (I am fairly aware of the differences), can people who have experience with all three opine on whether it makes sense to throw out the time and energy I have invested in PHP (not to mention lot of well functioning code) and start from scratch with one of the other two?
I love google and all the nice tricks... but every time something google does, people have orgasm.

Samsung Browser on Galaxy S3 has one hand zoom already. In a browser, drag your finger up and down to zoom in or out. I miss it on Chrome on Android.

So.. that being said, I am not sure, who is first in implementing one hand zoom, Google or Samsung or somebody else.

In all honesty, the shortcomings written about here are not a defect in the process(es), but appear to me to be simply weak project management. Especially since your ScrumMaster just up and quit. That is unheard of in a strong project-oriented culture.

You need a strong leader to get the team to buy-in to these processes. Of course nothing will work if you don't do that - people are generally averse to change and will do anything to prove "new ways" will never work.
I'm wary of the truthfulness of anything from the WSJ Op-Ed, and with good reason. That said, I checked out this article at it appears to be largely based on a deliberate mischaracterization of an article from the Journal of Industrial Ecology, which can be read here (for free it appears):

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1530-9290.2012....

The Op-Ed author is trying to claim that the article supports his thesis that EVs have a bigger environmental impact than ICE vehicles. To do this he must assume that an EV will only be driven for 50K miles in its lifetime: otherwise he bumps up against the article's main thesis, which is that even at 65K miles, with the article's very conservative assumptions, an EV has a carbon advantage over ICE. The advantage grows significantly with longer, and more realistic lifetimes.

I think this is typical of an WSJ Op-Ed. Anyway, here's the abstract of the cited article:

> Electric vehicles (EVs) coupled with low-carbon electricity sources offer the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and exposure to tailpipe emissions from personal transportation. In considering these benefits, it is important to address concerns of problem-shifting. In addition, while many studies have focused on the use phase in comparing transportation options, vehicle production is also significant when comparing conventional and EVs. We develop and provide a transparent life cycle inventory of conventional and electric vehicles and apply our inventory to assess conventional and EVs over a range of impact categories. We find that EVs powered by the present European electricity mix offer a 10% to 24% decrease in global warming potential (GWP) relative to conventional diesel or gasoline vehicles assuming lifetimes of 150,000 km. However, EVs exhibit the potential for significant increases in human toxicity, freshwater eco-toxicity, freshwater eutrophication, and metal depletion impacts, largely emanating from the vehicle supply chain. Results are sensitive to assumptions regarding electricity source, use phase energy consumption, vehicle lifetime, and battery replacement schedules. Because production impacts are more significant for EVs than conventional vehicles, assuming a vehicle lifetime of 200,000 km exaggerates the GWP benefits of EVs to 27% to 29% relative to gasoline vehicles or 17% to 20% relative to diesel. An assumption of 100,000 km decreases the benefit of EVs to 9% to 14% with respect to gasoline vehicles and results in impacts indistinguishable from those of a diesel vehicle. Improving the environmental profile of EVs requires engagement around reducing vehicle production supply chain impacts and promoting clean electricity sources in decision making regarding electricity infrastructure.

BERLIN/GERMANY, NODE.JS/JAVASCRIPT, FULL-TIME, LOCATED IN THE FACTORY NEXT TO GOOGLE, SOUNDCLOUD & MOZILLA

Top 5 reasons why you should move to Berlin, now:

1. Lowest livings costs with highest standard of living. Stay in gorgeous, perfectly renovated apartments in pre-WWII residential buildings with high ceilings, right in the middle of the center and pay a fraction of costs of any other capital (even cheaper than any Eastern European capital). No need for a car—Berlin has one of the densest subway nets and wide streets make biking fun + we have Car2Go and Drive-Now (these are world's best smartphone-supported car sharing systems with brand new cars at every corner, cheaper than owning a car or riding a cab). In addition, Germany has an amazing social health care system including health, unemployment and pension (when working as an employee).

2. A vibrant and fast growing ecosystem of smart people. A vast number of new software talents, founders, software companies and VCs are moving to Berlin, every day (Twitter, Google, Soundcloud, Early Bird, Mozilla and many more).

3. People here are open-minded, outgoing, mix well and international—no need to learn German, everyone speaks English! Making new friends is a matter of days. Visit tons of networking and startup events, every week.

4. Easy work permissions—Europeans do not need any and can work from day one.

5. Berlin's night life is unmatched, huge and changing every day (plus ridiculously cheap). Berlin has got some of the most dazzling, naughty, and original clubs on the face of the Earth.

Berlin is calling and getting the new tech hub of Europe. If you are passionate about building great software, we’d love to talk with you. If you don't live in Berlin yet, we could help to fix that.

If you are doing Node.js or JS, apply today—we are looking for multiple Node.js Software Engineers.
It's definitely a parody, but it's disturbing how many seeds of truth are in there.
