Kira Talent (https://www.kiratalent.com) - Toronto, Canada

At Kira Talent, we help employers spot top talent earlier in the hiring process through timed video interviews.

A bit about us:

* we’re a small team (you’d be #14), based in the heart of downtown Toronto

* we’re well funded (we just raised a $2M seed round) and have had paying clients since day 1 of the company

* we’re hiring both mobile and backend developers

* we think even enterprise software can be beautiful, and pride ourselves on our design

* every single one of our developers have committed code within their first day at work; some within their first hour

Here’s some stuff we’ve been working on lately:

* building infrastructure to allow us to scale our video recording and streaming

* re-building the UI-heavy sections of our product using AngularJS

* designing and creating our mobile suite for both job candidates and employers alike

* presenting analytics data captured in our product to the end user, and our team internally

We mostly use Python/Django, JavaScript (jQuery, AngularJS), MySQL (and some MongoDB), but you’d be free to choose your own tools and libraries. If this sounds fun, let’s chat! My name is Konrad, I'm the co-founder/CTO, and you can send me a note at konrad@kiratalent.com. :)
If they need or not, I think it's not for the OS manufacturer to decide. Desktops ARE coming with touch and so are laptops. Soon enough, all new laptops and desktops WILL have touch. I just went to Walmart tech area and almost all laptops had touch. The ones without touch were in the obscure corner where no one went.

Microsoft can adapt or be eaten. I think they have decided the later.

Now regarding "completely separate OS", impossible to maintain. And "at least their own shell", goes back to desktops/laptops having touch and the old shell not being good for that.

I don't see a problem with their hybrid approach. I enjoy the touch stuff where it fits. I don't see how a SAP or heavy data entry (where a keyboard will make all the difference) will benefit from Metro, so why no keep the desktop there as usual (like they did)?
The Wikipedia article lists a full body CT scan at 10-30 mSv.
All passwords are effectively security through obscurity, with varying sizes of trapdoors. If someone got a hold of your piece of paper that has all of your passwords written down on it, then you're hosed as well. If you're being targetted, you're basically in trouble no matter what. Sometimes security just has to be good enough, for most users, good enough is such that having one password compromised by a trawling operation is sufficiently firewalled against having the other passwords compromised by an automated agent.

Even so, you can bet that for things I really care about that are difficult to reverse (such as, like, say a bitcoin wallet) I'm not going to use this scheme.
I haven't been using the proposed question but if I was and the candidate told me that his accomplishment is to solve many issues and keep the product bug-free that would be an accomplishment I'd appreciate as well.

I've managed a team and there are those who will find a grand solution to a thorny problem or find a solution to something you didn't think of as a problem and there are others who will plow on to fix countless bugs and make the system better for it. Both are needed, and others as well along the spectrum.

I believe that knowing your strengths and playing to them would be a way to get the best for both sides. Unless of course the interviewee is looking to change course completely.
Cool, just slogging away, its is still early doors...
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine seems to have your back:

A full-body CT scan results in 12 mSv; a mammogram 0.13 mSv—a hundred times less. The risks from these procedures, according to AAPM, are too low to have been determined reliably, and may be "nonexistent."

Looks like this debate has been going on for a while now.
Microsoft told me the same thing. When I didn't have a disc for windows they told me to "borrow it from a friend".

My friends on tpb had it.

I had a similar issue with Apple accessing my download for an old version of iWork (this was before the App Store was launched). Took me an hour on the phone and a few hours waiting for them to get back to me via email, but I did eventually get a download link to some internal server...

I was amazed they didn't have a real procedure for it, but that's how a real support team handles the issue.
>The closest you get are F2P games like LoL which are not nearly as bad as this

Just to put this in perspective, LoL has more (by 400,000 users) concurrent players than the entire Steam platform.[1][2] I would also put forth the argument that you do gain an advantage by paying for stuff like new heroes which are almost always OP. I think the only element of PC gaming that is keeping more major studios out of the F2P models are dedicated server and p2p gaming where it doesn't make sense and is probably hard to accomplish in any meaningful way.

Seriously. My biggest issue with Android right now is finding apps that are actually good. App discovery in the play store is absolutely atrocious, and it's near-impossible to find good apps that aren't frequently downloaded (i.e. outside of the top 100 or so in the different categories) without wading through a sea of trash.
We will be able to do X = 3, #{X := Val} = Map, ... to extract the value of 'Val' under the unknown key 'X'.

Yes. I don't understand the use case for that.
I think this is about the update TO Windows 8.1

I.e. basically the first SP for 8.1.
but that's exactly what the xkcd article did. I'm just pointing out a deficiency in the xkcd scheme, and offering an alternative. Some people may have a better arbitrary associative memory than I have, and for them, the xkcd scheme is a better choice.

Edit:
Although the original xkcd was specifically complaining about silly practices that arbitrarily restrict the xkcd scheme.
Build your own Buffer App service – a weekend hack
If you dereference the source links you'll find that "the forthcoming Windows 8.1 update" in the article refers to Windows 8.1 Update 1 (which updates 8.1), not to 8.1 being an update of 8.0:

It's an alpha release, an MVP. Of course it's not going to be perfect on this type of stuff.
Please, yes! That would be amazing.

I used quark for years back in the day and when InDesign CS1 came out it seemed like the industry switched overnight. Until then even though both Quarks 4 and 5 had been released no one I knew, including printers, had gone further than Quark 3.1.

The entire creative suite cost less than Quark and Photoshop was essential anyway. No contest. Plus it had support for OS X, could do transparency (no more creating drop shadows in Photoshop and importing them as a flat TIFF, the joy!), had really good typography support (no more creating a separate text box for bullets and manually aligning them), and getting a press-ready PDF out of it wasn't some sort of voodoo.

The difference 10 years makes. Now Adobe software is slow, bloated and buggy with only minor reasons to upgrade version to version. It seems like the fit and finish is worse on each release and watching photoshop or illustrator creak into life, even on my SSD macbook, is a painful experience.

I think the only reason I've upgraded recently is due to their policy of making newer version file formats incompatible with the older version, so I've had to if I want to open files from colleagues. Creative Cloud is a blatant attempt to extract as much rent as they can before the gig is up, not as a way to provide a useful service. For that reason I won't be upgrading from CS6, even though as a designer it's the software I use most.

We need an Adobe competitor who'll either remind them they can write good software when they have to or consign them to irrelevance.
It's pretty trivial to create undetectable droppers.
I know it is the case for both French car companies and Volvo -- meaning the influence of financiers over the company decisions is stronger than any engineer: CEO track, risk assessement is about liability not engineering excellence. Most Japanese and Korean companies are better seen as a conglomerates (zaibatsu). I've heard similar stories for US companies, but I don't personally know anyone working for them. It is indeed not the case for German brands, were the engineering excellence still matters. Tata is a large group that works far beyond cars: they handle personal finance, pharmaceuticals, etc. Your link is specifically about the car company, Tata Motors.
OK, great. I want frames. But how can I get them if there's already similar syntax for something that can kind of do what frames do but isn't optimized for that use case? That's a difficult sell: "Oh, yes, Erlang has structurally typed records! No, it's not the syntax that looks like a record without a name, it's this other syntax."

Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but I think frames have pretty much zero chance of being implemented so long as maps have syntax support.
That would actually be a sound argument: If we assume a linear damage model for radiation exposure (which is a generally accepted model for these circumstances), then there is no safe dose. Instead, any exposure increases your lifetime risk of cancer. It is therefore not useful to talk about how medical imaging causes an individual case of cancer.

But for a larger population we can figure out what the cancer risk without medical radiation exposure would be, and what the observed probability is. We can then ascribe the difference to these medical tests. Obviously there are a number of ways to fuck up this analysis. Geological differences in the natural radiation dose shouldn't be underestimated. However, almost half of the lifetime radiation dose of a human does come from medical applications, and it would certainly be good to reduce that.
Probably not, since - as a startup - we don't yet know how we need to market our product(s).
Be sure to check out http://conversionxl.com/blog/ for marketing how to's/tricks/growth hacks - it's one of the best sources.

I like the idea. I'd suggest some effort be put into the grammar on the website and blog because small things like that create a negative impression for some people.

Example, from:

Poucher lets you generate discount vouchers, for the restaurant or bar you like. The more Poucher users in a restaurant or bar means more discounts. So pick the nearest venue with highest population and enjoy your live discount.

To:

Poucher lets you create a discount coupon for the restaurant or bar you visit. The more Poucher users in a restaurant or bar, the higher discount you'll receive. Get Poucher now and start enjoying your live discounts! *Disclaimer: Discount coupons are only available for participating venues and valid for the visit - (see our list for participating venues near you.)[link]

As a developer, I have to be able to open our designer's PSDs to extract elements. He's always using the latest features as well so I have to keep up with the new versions...

There are no alternatives that have even half-way decent PSD support (through no fault of their own, of course).
I can also come up with a lot of "technical jargon words" and then just throw out at the interviewers. I can bullshit so much to cover up the mess I created. I can be really stupid and took 3 months to figure out the problem I was facing.

Though this question can be a testimony to see whether the candidate is articulate at describing things. People who have trouble to describe problems to another person is usually not a good co-worker to have (no matter how competent he or she is). You will just waste so much time going to put his or her words into complete picture. or the new co-worker will work on his own problem the whole day and no team work.
for touch. For the average, non-touch mouse and keyboard windows users (aka all windows users), metro sucks.

But I agree, on a tablet, Metro is great.
I'd rather have them concentrate on Galactiv Civilizations 3 anyways.
Really? You wouldn't say, 'Saved the company a million dollars a year' or 'Introduced source control and automated testing into the company' ? To my mind those are much more impressive achievements than an iphone app (at least assuming it's a typical CRUD app.)

I really hope it's not Popcap. They are a favourite in my household too, again because they make entertaining, well polished, and not excessively priced casual games that several of us enjoy. If even companies like that are succumbing to the allure of ongoing charging, they'll lose us as well.

With your numbers, it indeed become reasonably likely - thanks for that. I'm always confused by how titles can be inflated in the financial services.

My point was more: when it comes to conspiracy, stay away from story-telling, and do the math. That forces you to focus on assumption, such as the actual size for the group considered.

Any people here who go to the dentist?

Specifically, the American Dental Association's

* teens every 1.5-3 years,
* and adults every 2-3 years.

I was personally very surprised and alarmed by this.
Yes, I have written long and specific comments on alternative approaches on HN before and won't bore you with a recap, except to note that I sketched out what I meant by "rigor" in the comment rooting this thread.

Also, ModernMix gets you part way there on the latter. One interesting side effect I noticed while using it is that Metro / Modern apps tend to use larger fonts and layouts (which doesn't really work that well when you shrink the apps down to a smaller window). Possible solutions include auto-scaling and letting the app present a different interface when Windowed.
The worst example of this was Visual Studio 2012. The UI was redone to superficially fit the Metro style. It became flat and monochrome and so visually undifferentiated that it was hard to navigate. And there were of course the obnoxious ALL CAPS menu labels.
But are there benefits?
A lot of laptops that don't have an optical drive also don't have built-in ethernet (Retina MacBooks). The Thunderbolt adapter is an option, but it's not cheap.

I agree that when wired networking is available, it is a far superior option. Streaming local video to Apple TV is nearly impossible without it.
I think I do the opposite: I think I value candidate potential more than you, because you propose screening based on how cordial or fluent a single interview with their prospective team is, and I don't buy for a second that you get a realistic picture of how well someone will communicate or gel with that team in the course of a single adversarial interview.
Wow. Any luck reproducing it?

EDIT: Anyway, it's probably an issue with the tooling around containers, not the implementation of kernel containers itself
(well, in theory it might have been a bug in the kernel that corrupted the rootfs and you reported it here as it has destroyed your host's system).
Even if they had no online profiles that they personally created, for a lot of people theres enough stuff online about them besides that. I have a unique enough name that if you google my name and exclude social sites, in the first two pages you can find, where I went to high school, college, grad school, and what I studied there, various awards I won, sports and hobbies of mine, plenty of photos, and my most recent jobs. None of which I personally posted online.
Since my natural preference (and probably that of many here) would be more freedom I think it's important to be wary of wishful thinking. Even though I think the link between authoritarian institutions and bullying is real, there are too many variables at play to make such a direct assertion.

Regardless, I favor less rules and more freedom for kids for it's own sake. If there are social and/or developmental benefits, that would be icing on the cake.

Where I grew up (near Charlottesville, VA), I had acres of wilderness in my backyard and the surrounding area to explore with my friends. We would build make play forts, climb (real) trees, make bridges over creeks and rivers etc. In the winter we'd go sledding, unsupervised, on real hills that we discovered ourselves .. age ranges from 7 to 10.

Nearby there were a couple old plantation houses (ruins) near the scene of various battles from the revolutionary to the civil war. One even had cannonballs embedded in the walls. To be clear, these were just there, not maintained as museums etc. They were a rumor passed from older kids to younger ones, each mini-generation re-discovering them and the wonders contained.

I bet if our parents knew exactly what we were doing they would have been horrified, that was part of the fun. We did these things without their permission.

When I was about 13, we moved to upper middle class suburban California. Nice, safe, maintained parks. Pretend islands with pretend castles, slides and playground equipment with signs displaying instructions for "proper use." Frankly, boring, synthetic and alarmingly sad.

Let me understand you completely before I respond.

Is your argument here that conventional engineering job interviews...

(the sort where candidates interview with a series of engineers from the team all of whom ask different sets of questions and seek to gauge from their answers previous accomplishments, working style, technical competence, and team compatibility)

... are generally an effective way for teams to screen candidates?
This is the right thing to do. I'm glad they've realized it. Windows 7 is miles more usable than even 8.1.

The OP isn't talking about profit vs loss financial management, they are referring to the practice of US manufactures of offering finance packages to purchase a car.

These finance packages are quite lucrative in the US market, and for many US manufacturers are more profitable than manufacturing.
