You need to be careful with using residential property for commercial purposes in most places. Repurposing a property, even though it would require no external changes and no structural internal changes, often requires planning permission and/or a correct license to operate a business. There are exceptions for sole traders, but they'd not count in this case.

PHP/LAMP Development - Newport Beach, CA, USA (Orange County)

The Boras Corporation, widely regarded as the premier single-sport athlete representation firm in the world, is seeking a full-stack developer to expand the capabilities of our internal web-based applications.

We need someone comfortable and experienced across the entire range of the development process, from designing and polishing the user-facing bits to hacking on the plumbing.

Initially, the primary focus will be bringing online older tools and datasets originally built offline (Access, FoxPro, etc.) via PHP/MySQL. Following that, creative thinking and problem solving will be key as we come up with more efficient and effective ways to get the firm's work done.

A love of baseball (and sports in general) is useful since we work in that world -- but it's not strictly required. We take great pride in being the best at what we do, and most of us have played team sports at a high level. It's a great place to work with low turnover, and we're excited to find someone new to join our team.

This is a full-time position in our Newport Beach office.

Obviously we're not your typical HN poster, but if it sounds like a good fit let us know at jobs at borascorp.com.

Harvest - NYC or Anywhere

http://www.getharvest.com/careers

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

We're hiring Ruby and Front-end devs to work with our small team doing big things. Harvest is bootstrapped, profitable, seven years old, and planning to be around for a long time.

About you:

You have written a lot of code. Teammates look at your commits for examples of idiomatic and readable code. You write clearly about technical subjects. No matter the language, grammar and style are important to you.

About us:

We will work together in small, nimble teams. Harvest has been distributed from day one and you will feel like part of the Harvest family no matter where you live. (Though if you're in NYC, you can work from our beautiful Flatiron office.) Everyone has a voice and the power to make decisions that impact our customers and our teammates.
Ninite is fantastic. There simply should not be any naysayers - the naysayers cannot provide the experience Ninite provides.

Ninite's ability to group many products into a singular downloadable installer is heaven. Keep up the awesome work.
Kids were allowed to discover things in the 30s - yeah, allowed to die, too, if they were poor. But you cannot have a creative culture if you're scared to death of all risk.

America's edge has always been due to risk-takers, and we're doing our damndest never to expose our kids to the least bit of risk, to the point now, as in this case, of explicit criminalization of risk-takers. And if you think that's not going to ruin what I remember as being a pretty kick-ass nation, then I'm not the naive one. I can only assume you don't have kids in school at the moment, or your kids have an exceptional school.
Not likely. The problem is that the PSU will shut down (self protection) if it has less that its minimum current draw. It has to do this because the voltage regulation loop goes unstable if it was designed to have a higher minimum current draw. If the PSU didn't shut down, it would fry things, including itself. Really bad.

To test the PSU works at 0.5A would end up shutting down the computer if the PSU didn't work at 0.05A... exactly what happens today. Unfortunately, at that point it is too late to tell the user "your PSU is old" or to quickly connect a resistor across the +12v rails to work around the problem.

As an experiment, find an old PSU and plug it into the wall (nothing connected to the power output connectors). It won't power on. If you connect a 2 ohm 10W resistor (or two 1 ohm 5W resistors in series) into the "hard drive" Molex connector +12v (yellow) to ground (black), it should start up and be happy.

Disclaimers:

1) The resistor will become quite warm quite quickly (6W), watch your fingers.

2) If you damage something, it is a learning experience, not my fault.
Measuring productivity for comparison requires the tasks under observation to be comparable. This may be good for laying bricks or bailing hay, but it is terrible for designing solutions to problems requiring the problem to be defined as part of the task (except in the very broadest sense to gauge the effectiveness of the estimation process, not the "work" itself).

As I see it, loyalty means that I look out for the interest of the company while I work there and making an effort not to smooth the transition if I leave. And a continued respect for the confidential or embarrassing information of past employers even in the absence of explicit agreements.

That is still the state linux is in. The difference is with openbsd, 99% of hardware is supported, and the 1% has no driver. In linux, 99% of hardware is supported, and the 1% has a buggy broken driver that will crash your kernel. Buying dodgy hardware is a bad idea regardless of your OS.
Having been in this same situation at work and at home, I have to disagree with you.

We go out to lunch several times a week, and unless someone is craving something, it almost always comes down to this. We use Subway instead of McDonalds, but the result is the same.

There is no blame, we honestly can't think of where to eat until some idea is thrown out there. Then all of a sudden we remember that mexican place in the park, or the new burger joint that opened up a few weeks ago. We throw out suggestions and if we all agree, then we go. It just takes a little push to get the ball rolling.

Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome

Scribd (social publishing & eBooks, top 100 website, 35 people) is hiring talented hackers and other technical people for a broad range of technologies.

We've hired FIVE full-time people and numerous interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads, including one just two months ago ... it really works!!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript (we recently switched to Coffeescript and are loving it)

* iOS

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations

* Back-end problems: scalability, web crawling, big data, analytics

* DevOps and web infrastructure

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!). We've got flexible hours, a very engineer-driven company culture, and a really terrific team.

Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire.

We are still hiring interns for the summer (junior year or older). We are also aggressively looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

Facebook's where I go for social stuff. Twitter's largely replaced RSS. Google+ has two uses:

# It's where my Androids upload to

# It's where I get tech news - Linus, Greg KH, O'Reilly, etc. all post on G+

I tend to hope G+ doesn't become as popular as Facebook with the general public, because right now it's got a really good signal:noise ratio and I'd hate to see it drown in Farmville updates and cat photos..

Utilitarianism comes to mind: seek to maximize the benefit to society. Sometimes that means attacking, sometimes it means defending, sometimes it means refusing to create the software you are told to create.
From a design standpoint, I think that your mix of flat-ui and non-flat elements gives it a strange feel. For example, your headline has shadow and depth to it, but other elements are strictly flat. It's just a design inconsistency you might want to address as you mature.
> Why 140 characters?

Historical. Twitter started out as a web-sms gateway.

It isnt. But [2] came to the scene after [1] so [1] has a bigger momentum. Being slightly better does not mean everybody suddenly will switch. The perceived improvement has to be bigger than the cost of switching.

I definitely agree that not every web/social app is valuable, and I believe in treating the Earth like a campsite - leave it in better condition that you found it.

I also want to point out that having fun and celebrating the discovery of electricity, electronics and computing is okay. Our ancestors worked hard to get us to the point where we no longer have to constantly hunt, to the point where we can live longer. Mine is mainly an argument for moderation...

Yet the mention of Skinner boxes, cigarettes and dopamine makes for interesting discussion: If we believe, as I do, that we should be allowed and free to say, smoke a few cigarettes now and then, is it sensible/logical/smart/worthwhile/ethical to start a cigarette company with relentless marketing?
Rollbar (https://rollbar.com) - San Francisco (SOMA)

We're hiring a back-end engineer to be employee #2. You'll own the reliability, performance, and scalability of our systems, spending about half your time on infrastructure automation/maintenance and the other half building and improving back-end systems.

Our tech stack currently includes Python, Node.js, MySQL, Redis, Memcache, and Beanstalkd; plus Nagios for monitoring and Fabric for automation.

One key challenge we're having is ensuring uptime in the face of datacenter-level issues (we've had some) -- our customers rely on us to tell them when they're having problems, so we really need to be rock solid, at least on our API and data processing tiers. So far we're in 6 datacenters with DNS failover and a few other techniques, but there's much much more to do.

If this sounds interesting, email brian@rollbar.com and let's find a time to talk or meet up.

Sorry, you're right, there is no direct legal obligation to make money. However, investors in startups frequently have a large degree of control over the direction of the company, and often care more about the bottom line than any broader mission to change the world.

In almost every real-world application of this measuring productivity is a drag.

It's almost as if it's subject to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. In this case with the tools you're using you're not getting an accurate reading of productivity because typically the burden is on the subject to make the readings and they will get annoyed at this intrusion into their day job.

So how do you measure tasks without being intrusive? Is it really possible?
So you're saying they're discovered a way to spend money maintaining a huge community that nobody actually uses!
