I thought it was kinda cool, but unsuccessful. It's probably something that sounds better on paper.

I'm happy it exists. People should try weird things and show others, good or bad. Then everyone get's to learn what works and doesn't. Experimentation is good! Especially on low-risk ventures, like blog layouts.

I think the response to unsuccessful experiments like these should be more like, "That's interesting, but I made it harder for me," rather than, "What the hell were you thinking?"
Does anyone know how IFTTT decides which channels to add? I assume some of them are paid?

I'd probably pay a few dollars for a version that was more open and supported e.g. webhooks. But I guess that's Zapier.
We do have a referral program that actually pays money back (sadly, we can't add Gbs to the quota like dropbox). It's doing ok, but far from a viral storm.

We do recognize that reaching out to students / student associations is probably the best route, but for that we need some kind of sales abilities, which we lack. Hence the "Ask HN" post.

Ruby Developer | Charlie (an early-stage, funded startup) | Chicago, IL

We're looking for a developer who's sort of a bad-ass. Can you think up mind-blowing solutions to complex, hairy problems? Do you get excited by things like graph databases and machine learning? We want someone who can move fast, think creatively, and deliver quality/tested code. Is this you? Have at least a couple years of professional experience writing code. Take a small risk and join us in building a growth business.

Who are we?
Before any meeting, Charlie automatically researches people before you see them. Researching people is a complex problem: we sift through, analyze, and manipulate data into powerful insights (i.e. what are they passionate about, what do you have in common?). CNBC called us “One of the world’s most promising new companies” and SXSW selected us as an Accelerator Finalist.

We’ve built Charlie to research people at massive scale, using the latest Ruby on Rails stack with MongoDB, Redis, Sidekiq, and hosted in an elastic cloud farm. We write code with agility and have a tight process where anyone on the team can deploy to production at any time, without approval. We thoroughly test our code, though we’re not strict TDD. We're a small dev that loves to code, and constantly pushes, and learns from each other.

This is your opportunity to join an early-stage company that’s making moves.

5 Helpful Numbers to Memorize
Grace Hopper was a Rear Admiral (lower half) (1 star) [1] where as Michelle Howard is promoted to Admiral (4 star) [2]. To put in perspective, ADM (now that her ceremony has occurred) Howard will be the No. 2 officer in the entire Navy. It is the first that a woman has held this high post in all of the US Armed Forces (previously, a woman was promoted to General in the Army, but did not occupy the No. 2 position).

I think the bit on managing dependencies could be improved with a bit more information about what other people have done. For example, SoundCloud maintains one monolithic $GOPATH in a single git repository that they can then selectively update. My personal preference to any flavor of the month Go dependency managers is gopkg.in[0], because it doesn't fool with the official tool chain (i.e. "go get", "go build"), but still allows for the versioning of packages.

Bonanza.com. Seattle, WA. http://www.bonanza.com

Full-Stack Rails Developer

We're looking for a full time, full stack Ruby on Rails developer to continually improve the user interface, performance, feel, and other aspects of our site to make our customers happier, save time, and have more fun buying and selling on Bonanza.com.

We’ve already built Bonanza into a leading person-to-person marketplace, but we'll never stop making it even better. Some things you’ll be responsible for might include:

* Fix bugs reported by customers and the dev team
* Implement new features as needed
* Learn and grow your skills under the guidance of world-class Rails coders on our dev team
* Use the website regularly and contribute your own suggestions on how we can make it better

Requirements

We strongly prefer that you have some Ruby on Rails experience in a production environment. You’ll be working in the full stack, from the mysql database up to jQuery and HTML/CSS. You should be comfortable receiving sometimes-vague bug reports, and having the doggedness to track down repro steps and make an appropriate fix. You should have the empathy to see problems from our customers’ perspectives and keep their needs in mind while building solutions. An innate sense of good UX design would be super helpful in this position.

Because we’re a small and close-knit team, attitude is a critical element in our selection process. The ideal candidate will be able to speak both "geek" and "human," and will approach problems with a "can-do" attitude.

Note: If you're not currently located in the Seattle area, we're open to working remotely with a strong candidate.

Benefits

In addition to a very competitive salary, Bonanza offers the following perks:

* "Work from home Wednesday" - every Wednesday we get to work from home, coffee shops, or wherever suits us (remote staff can work from home every day!)
* "Freedom February" - every February we retreat from the gloom of Seattle and work from a remote tropical locale. So far we've been to Costa Rica and Oahu. Next year we're eyeing Nicaragua.
* Fast growing (averaged 50-100% yearly growth over 5 years), and already-profitable company. It's fun to work for a winner.
* Work from a waterfront office in downtown Seattle (food trucks aplenty!)
* Full arcade room in the office
* Pong table on site
* All employees get fully paid health insurance coverage, vacation benefits, holidays, stock options, and more.

Apply for this job

To apply to any of the above jobs, please email jobs -at- bonanza.com. Specify in the title the position you are applying for, and include a one page cover letter, plus your resume. We look forward to hearing from you!

The first is highly valuable to me, maybe (but probably not) worth how much you charge. The second isn't worth much at all.

The Man With a Plan To Build a 70-Foot Car-Juggling Robot
(Sorry I'm just responding to all this now, 15 hours later)

> Malware and sites advertising so-called "booter" services are different discussions.

There's an important distinction here. You refer to "sites advertising so-called "booter" services." However, with the kind of sites I speak of, "sites providing so-called "booter" services" would be a better description. They aren't just advertising it; enter a valid username and password, enter an IP, click the "attack" button and an attack is launched, all from that single site.

Malware, phishing, and booters have two things in common: they have far-reaching effects (that is, they affect other, unrelated/unwilling people) and they are not in any way good for the target of the effort. Malware is only good for the operator who benefits from the keylogger, showing ads, or whatever; phishing is only good for the operator who benefits from the stolen information; booters are only good for the booter operator (who profits from selling it) and for the user who paid for it to attack a target. Based on that, it's difficult for me to see the difference between the harmfulness of any of these.

In your post, the standard you applied to malware and phishing was "harmfulness" (in your opinion). I agree with that standard, and I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a single person who agrees that any of these three issues are not harmful. So, in your opinion, what makes booters less harmful than malware and phishing sites, which you are willing to take offline?

Censorship is a slippery slope, indeed. But I think it is generally accepted that _some_ basic level of what is effectively censorship, is a necessary evil for the health of the Internet. For example, malware and phishing sites, as you mentioned; spam; DDoS attacks. That's why laws exist in so many jurisdictions to prohibit all of these, and why the AUP of every single reputable ISP in existence prohibits them. This isn't uncharted territory, this isn't something new CloudFlare is just getting into - the industry standard (and legal standard) is to prohibit all of these.
Augh. The editors changed my title. I will ask them to change it.

Some readers have pointed out that the research on diversity I quote is about investors, not founders. This is a very important point. It's the closest thing we have to a large-scale founder diversity study, however. I meant it as an example of how even basic assumptions can be wrong, and why it's important to revisit them.
Good read, but the title didn't really prepare me for what it was actually about.

On clicking the link I thought I was going to be reading an FB'ers technical blog post about the dramas of dealing with massive facebook groups from their point of view.
Well, I assumed you held the normal interpretation. I'm OK with being wrong occasionally.

If who you are and what you want is socially inappropriate to your friends or romantic interests then I suggest finding new ones. Seriously. Similarly with everyone you can choose. Of course, with colleagues and family, certain masks have to be worn... But minimize mask-wearing!

Someone once told me that "If my friends didn't know me, they wouldn't be my friends". Best thing I ever heard. After I became more honest with my friends I feel a lot less lonely and it turned out they were very accepting.
I upvoted you, but, do we have to choose? Do we have to decide that one side or the other is lying? Can we treat accusations seriously without destroying the accused, and treat the accused's rights seriously without destroying the accuser?

> Could you describe how this abuse would take place, exactly? R&D is already tax deductible.

Here's how:
(1) Company sponsors and in-effect (though not in name) controls nonprofit doing open source development.
(2) Company provides "discounts" on its services (e.g., support or other services tied to, or closed source software license for software that depends on, but is not -- if the OSS is copyleft -- strictly derivative of the OSS developed by the non-profit) to people who donate to the non-profit. Company has now effectively restructured itself in a way that its R&D costs, or some substantial portion of them, are not merely tax deductible for it (as they would be as business expenses in any case) but also funded by tax-deductible payments from customers (which payments may not have been tax deductible expenses otherwise, particularly if the software isn't exclusively for the B2B market.)

Its not the "open source" that is the problem, its the relationship with the sponsoring company -- but I can certainly see why "open source" development is a cover for a "charity" that could be ripe for abuse, and why the IRS might want to carefully scrutinize charities of that type.
I didn't say 3%. I said he didn't include it when saying he saved 3%.
Would you consider Remote for the perfect candidate?
> * Mateen did send some "inappropriate" messages to Wolfe (Tinder has, bafflingly, acknowledged this publicly).

It is very unusual to see a company actually acknowledge an allegation like that. But do you think it was a bad idea to do so?

Obviously it has legal ramifications. They're literally admitting guilt.

But Tinder/IAC will have to work to do to demonstrate that they care about having a healthy workplace culture. And this seems like a good way to lend credibility to the fact that they take that responsibility seriously (instead of just FUD-ing the victim with a vaguely worded statement).

Sure, there's protections that apply after the fact of abuse, but the whole purpose of having a 501(c)(3) application and review is to try to filter inappropriate entities out before the fact.
