HMO with marketing

I know very little about marketing both online and offline, i've had some ideas but really have no knowledge on whether its good or not. I'm kinda in an analysis paralysis state of not knowing if i'm going to piss away all my money because i dont know what will work.

Email in my HN profile.
I'd be super interested in this. Been working on a startup full-time but might have to look for contract work soon. I think the value add of something like this is having you curate the job listings for entrepreneurs and you being able to convince companies the value of our unique skill set. Might be best done manually at first but I'd pay for a service like that.
I wondered why they couldn't use the (relatively small amount of) drugs they found when they raided him in Arkansas to, under Arkansas state law, fuck him somehow.
I switched to newsbeuter a while ago after waiting for the Reeder update way too long, unfortunately I never figured out a way to setup a proper "open this in my default browser in the background" shortcut so I guess I'll give Reeder another shot. I hope the update is coming to the MAS as well. Bought it a while ago and I'd be hesitant to pay again for a software which was functional for a year and felt abandoned after the Google Reader shutdown.
Speed always matters. (Sometimes this is speed of development/iteration, sometimes this is speed of execution.)
Suits them well. Prosecutors try to abuse their power too much sometimes, especially when they selectively try to "make an example" out of someone. Glad the Appeals Court put them in their place this time.
Words like "deserve" or "fair" are simply not part of the vocabulary when it comes to immigration. For example, while I am not a US citizen, my wife is which means that once I inevitably give in and agree to move to the United States with her (she's continuously pestering me with it) I will just get a green card after filing some paperwork. And you can rest assured that there are plenty of people more "deserving" of a green card than me.
Or using [Linq](https://github.com/pfultz2/Linq):

vector<int> squareVec(const vector<int>& v)
{
return LINQ(from(i, v) select(i*i)) | linq::to_container;
}

And also filtering out odd elements:

vector<int> squareVecFiltered(const vector<int>& v)
{
return LINQ(from(i, v) where(i % 2 == 0) select(i*i)) | linq::to_container;
}
How many of those 1.7 Million unemployed US college grads refused to consider market demand when they were choosing their major, because they were mistakenly lead to believe that either "Any college degree is good enough for any job, because it is still the 1950s." or "I shouldn't have to consider employment when picking my major because I should be able to study whatever I find intellectually gratifying and society will then owe me a good job in fields that I did not study."?

Perhaps my university was unusually good (I do not believe that) but all of the people in my graduating CS class that I still have contact with are happily employed. I know this because about once a year I ping them asking if they want recommendations at my company... I'm trying to get those sweet referral bonuses...

I work alongside many H1B people. They are all highly competent.

Which is extremely limiting, in the context of data analysis chains like the examples given.
> Marriage means subventions by the government.

Marriage is not a subvention. You are not granted a cash bonus for being married. You access differences in tax consideration, yes, but that is not the same as getting direct payment. Moreover, there are a variety of legal rights that are available to married couples vs. non-married couple and non straight couples deserve access to those rights just the same as anyone else.

> So I suppose you could argue that the subventions are really for promoting families with the ultimate goal of having children. Even though gay families can adopt, you could argue that promoting gay marriage does not bring more children into the world.

> Not saying that is my opinion, or that marriage is currently perfectly designed for that goal (after all, childless couples can marry too and get some benefits). But I can understand if people feel "if I am paying for other people's marriage, I want to pay for more children being brought into the world in my country" - or something like that. Then I think it would be acceptable to oppose (gay) marriage on that ground.

Marriage isn't granted or denied to straight people based on their ability to have or not have children, this argument does not hold water. Also, marriage is not strictly about reproducing anyway. Biology-based arguments of this kind is highly discriminatory in general and shouldn't be allowed as the basis for law.

> It's not a question of denying people the right to be together, but a question of what the community should pay for.

This is not a question of what the community should pay for, the community would pay less if more overall couples and families were stable, this is a question of discrimination of the most basic kind.

> From my European perspective it seems much less ethical to deny people health care (talk about basic human rights), yet I am sure many who support gay marriage are opposed to public health care for a variety of reasons (they don't want to live in a socialist country or whatever).

That there is a bigger problem compared to gay marriage doesn't negate the fact that some people are still being denied the ability to marry and access the rights that come with that status.
When a conviction is vacated (as was the case here) it does not violate the double jeopardy clause to try the accused again for the charge for which he was convicted.

The case on point is United States v. Ball, 163 U.S. 662 (1896)* which rejects the English common law rule that holds the opposite. Frankfurter's dissent in Green v. United States, 355 U.S. 184 (1957)+ is far easier to read and lays out the history well.

Yes, double jeopardy only applies if a criminal trial concluded with an acquittal. In that case the defendant can't be charged a second time. But with cases that basically didn't conclude either way, non-convictions that are also non-acquittals, such as mistrials, vacated convictions, cases thrown out for procedural reasons, etc., the government is free to bring the charges again, on the theory that the first "jeopardy" hasn't really concluded properly, with either an acquittal or a conviction. For example, a case that ends in a hung jury can be re-tried with a new jury; a case thrown out for improper venue can be re-charged in proper venue; a conviction thrown out for ineffective assistance of counsel can be re-tried with better counsel; etc.

Cool idea!

As for me, I've been working on a career finding tool to help people find good career fits. It's almost done, and I'm excited about launching it. But I'm not sure how to get the word out about it.

I think you have misconceptions about what American policy has been in the past. Remember all the US backed coups in South and Central America, accompied by mass slaughter of political opposition (e.g. Contras in Nicaragua) often by groups trained in US military schools, the extensive bombing campaigns in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia with 100k-1m lives lost, all the US backed dictators (Suharto, Irans Shah,...), to name just a few.
The Russian government probably wants disgruntled Russians to move to places like that. The Russian fertility rate isn't high, but it's higher than all its nearest neighbors, and Empire is a long-term game.

Gorgeous visualization! Takes a really long time to watch though, even after clicking the "up" on speed a bunch of times, and so it's hard to get the same sense from watching the points on the map as you get instantly from the chart under the map.

Have you considered aggregating a little more, so that years move by faster?
I think the notion is the distro security team codes and tests a patch, but doesn't commit the code to public repos or release the patch publicly until an agreed-upon disclosure date.
Care to expand on that? What kind of "shit" what does "this" refer to?
I find it fascinating that the precedent for the decision -- to vacate charges due to improper venue -- is established by the court by going all the way back to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

The proper place of colonial trials was so
important to the founding generation that it was listed as a
grievance in the Declaration of Independence. See The
Declaration of Independence para. 21 (U.S. 1776) (objecting
to “transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended
offences”). It was of such concern that the Constitution of the
United States “twice safeguards the defendant’s venue right.”
United States v. Cabrales, 524 U.S. 1, 6 (1998). Article III
requires that “the Trial of all Crimes . . . shall be held in the
State where the said Crimes shall have been committed.”
U.S. Const. art. III, § 2, cl. 3. The Sixth Amendment further
provides that “[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall
enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial
jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have
been committed.”
Fine, is amazon considered a normal place? Because even there its ~ $50. Infact everywhere I have looked it has been around that price.

Wow that is some seriously awful debating.

So because people have been constantly misusing a word in an attempt to exaggerate the wrongs of their opponents, someone is being hyperbolic to even ask that we stick somewhere remotely close to the actual definition of the word?

It doesn't really accomplish anything more than calling your opponents "literally hitler". It means nothing, its an insane, irrational exaggeration and the only reason you would say it is to make your opponents look bad in lieu of having an actual, rational argument to make your opponents look bad.

Rust code within "unsafe" blocks is still way, way safer than C code, while still being almost uniformly more powerful than C.
Yeah, after thinking again, I can't help but agree.
So I've scanned (not read, ain't nobody got time for that) everything inside of the link you gave and while very interesting and comprehensive, if I was a sysadmin on a salary, I'd sink a few days into this and become really good at it, but I'm booked up, so I just need this up and running, so again, it's useless.

It comes down to your resources: do you have the man power to create several default vcl files that people can "just use": like a vcl for a RoR app, vcl for a WordPress site, vcl for a Symfony app etc (depending on actual usage/popularity)...

I started using varnish because of this tutorial:

I know it's a catchy and grabby title and sort of BS if you think about it, but it just works.

It took me an hour to get a DO dropplet running and blitz.io reported numbers that made me happy ($10 DO dropplet, large WP site, 27k+ requests per minute), that's enough for us.

I've got a few other ideas, but I think that if your company does something similar, you'll be able to get a much wider appeal and engage with users a lot more, which is great PR and marketing for your paid service.
I think you misunderstood jordn's comment. When he said "staying in a job they dislike for another year just to get an extra $1k when they do quit." I think he was talking about a hypothetical situation were an employee has been working for Amazon for, say 2 years, and got offered the $2k. They'd be unlikely to wait another full year, just to be able to get $3k when they quit. In other words, if they want to quit, they will do so at the closest offer (e.g. $2k) rather than waiting another year AFTER that offer to get a larger one (e.g. $3k).

Of course it's likely employees would wait e.g. 3 months to get the "quitting bonus". In fact, jordn quite clearly stated that also, in the first line of his comment.
Well, while technically you are right (heh), there is actually an opinion stated on the whole case as well:

We also note that in order to be guilty of accessing “without authorization, or in excess of authorization” under New Jersey law, the Government needed to prove that Auernheimer or Spitler circumvented a code- or password-based barrier to access.

Ask HN: how did successful companies got started out?
Hey HN, can we compile a list of documentaries/articles/whatnot of companies that got started, especially in their very early stage. What marketing tactics they used, how they hired their key people, how their product evolved, etc. I think it would be really interesting to go through them and draw inspirations for our little startup someday.

Thanks!
Ask HN: Where to host site that will upset some companies?
Not NSA-proof required, just need a host for content that will upset some business owners, content that won't be taken down.
I was teaching a friend how to create a character sheet in highschool (~10 years ago). Principal saw and asked if we were gambling. The principal (who also introduced me to the Hobbit) let us explain what it was, but still politely asked us to put the dice away. Apparently there was a gambling problem of some sort at the time at the school (I don't know details, just remember hearing rumors)
Weird, considering that there's a commercial version of PolarSSL verified with FRAMA-C that contributed its findings back to the open source project.

Ah, ok great, thanks. I was just using the demo as is.
Very interesting. I'd like to see the comparison between a regression on 'weakest link' 'strongest link' and average PER across starters.

Another factor is that this doesn't weight for time on the court. Someone could go into the lineup data and extract the PER for the lowest player on the court for each lineup and then create a weighted average based on how long each lineup played.
This is a fundamental problem with services that need to be public goods/institutions and already happens with cabs today.

The public safety/consumer issue that led to taxi commissions is that dense areas would be choked with cabs of questionable safety quality and the rates would vary greatly. So the solution is a price ceiling. The local taxi commission controls the number of licenses issued and sets prices. Lots of issues there... for example, the rates are locked in while the costs for operating cabs (fuel, labor) is variable.

IMO, Uber is a net-benefit to the market because they are breaking the regulatory monopolies enshrining cab companies. They have first-mover advantage, but other apps or services can emerge to compete for drivers and customers.
No, we don't use kprobes at this point, all of our collection is done through tracepoints. Take a look at https://github.com/draios/sysdig/blob/master/driver/main.c for details. They tend to be very efficient, which is a very important requirement because of our "capture all" approach.
And no urace/uprobes support yet. We're considering it as a feature for the future.
For some reason 80s cartoons often had a "moral lesson" tacked on to the end. Whether it was due to FCC regulations or just pandering to parents, I don't know. Some of the lessons were common sense, and some were just bizarre. Most were clearly phoned in. ("Key kids, don't do bad things, mm'K?") The comments on here about the 80s aren't saying they were good or bad, just "weird." Having to watch B grade propaganda after every cartoon definitely qualifies.
I can't believe that isn't part of the duplicate detection already.
Speaking as someone who moved to America on H1B with my wife - this is promising.

In the back of my head, I'm preparing to go back next year if my awesome wife can't find anything to do - missed this year's H1 cap already.

It's frustrating to watch her get depressed sitting at home and feeling like she's missing out. It's making me angry to come home every day to find her turning her energy inwards into frustration.

She's more talented than me, just not in tech - she's into ads.

The ad industry does not have the patience of the IT industry when it comes to keeping a req open for 6 months while the H1 processes.

Australia & Canada are attractive options in my radar.

At least, I'm sure I can work on hadoop from anywhere and get paid to ship open source code.
Yes; the GPL prohibits a distributor from adding additional licensing terms. (It doesn't preclude the author from offering it under multiple licenses, so long as the recipient can pick one and stick with it.)

Best Web Frameworks
That thinking is completely stupid, because even if no where else will offer money for quitting, they are being offered it to quit in their current job. That offer is of zero benefit if they DON'T take it. Staying BECAUSE there's an incentive to quit is perhaps one of the most ridiculous thoughts I've heard. Then again, some people are very stupid.

I also don't think that's "classic reverse psychology". (Although I'm not a psychologist).
I haven't been involved in distro security for a few years, but all this coordination used to happen via a mailing list. Organizations (distro maintainers, OS vendors, security people representing some of the larger/more security sensitive open source projects, etc) would need to apply to be on the list. They'd need to document who would have access to the sensitive materials posted, what their procedure would be for handling, etc. Impact assessment, disclosure timelines, CVE assignments from MITRE, attributions, etc etc would all be coordinated on this list. Fixes would not be pushed to public VCS systems or package repositories before the agreed-upon disclosure date.

AFAICT, none of this happened here. A very small number of organizations was told in advance, but nobody knows what the criteria were to get on this special advance notice list. Given how completely off-guard some really big organizations were caught (yahoo, for instance; all the linux distros, etc), this could have been handled a lot better.
Totally random, unsolicited, off-topic feedback: this project seems cool and I suspect I might well be interested in using it, and I just bounced because I couldn't figure out how to explore it a bit without signing up.

This is probably a weird irrational hangup, but I tend to assign a fair amount of weight to account creation, and am in general extremely unlikely to register for anything before I am certain that I actually want it. I lurked HN and reddit for, like, a year each before I finally was compelled to create accounts due to people being wrong on the internet. I am unlikely to join your community if I can't lurk anonymously for a while first.

I have no idea whether this makes me strange, of if there is a substantial chunk of the population who acts similarly.

Oh the irony of history.

On the week that str+len was abused left and right, someone surfaces to the frontpage an article about how str+NUL is wrong and everyone should use str+len.
That's a little weaker than precedent; they're mostly citing it just as generic historical background, support for the introductory scene-setting observation that venue is an important matter rather than a mere procedural technicality. But their actual analysis of whether venue is proper in NJ, and whether vacating the conviction is proper if not, doesn't rely on that.
Fish or Cut Bait?

Areas to explore: Do you trust the Founder? Do you still buy into his vision? Does the Founder actively demonstrate that he respects you as a valued business partner, (even if you are junior)? Are you financially/mentally prepared to walk?

Before you bail-- suggest a serious one-on-one conversation with the founder. Get some clarity on where he is on growth plans and compensation. Also, it's fair to share with him exactly what your expectations are. Manage up, look for a win-win scenario. Friday afternoon is a perfect time for this conversation. Suggest you guys go grab a beer together.
The old keeps being new again.

Every time someone tries to create a new platform that will finally open up the Internet to the long-standing promise of widespread two-way communications, the same thing keeps happening: The platform turns into a broadcast medium where a few use it to promote something and the vast majority sit back and consume. BBS systems, E-mail, USENET, almost all message boards, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. You can change the protocol, make it Web-2.0, limit it to 140 characters, add AJAX, but you can't change human nature.
