And yet, where's the harm in waiting for the full story to be revealed?

As an apologist mechanism, I'll concede that it's lacking, but even in the face of evidence, we should be wary of indicting anything for which we don't have personal, inside involvement, but even for cases, like this, for which there appears to be evidence, predisposing ourselves to a cause makes it less likely that we'll adjust our opinions in the event that counter-evidence is provided, or the existing evidence is placed into a context which might make it otherwise reasonable.

Note, I'm not suggesting that any of the above applies here, but as a general practice, avoiding prejudgement in the absence of all the facts is a bad way to approach gossip.
If your ex works with/for you, you have a legal obligation to keep your mouth shut, no matter how emotionally torn up you are.

Location: Upstate New York (Capital Region) | Remote

Willing to relocate: Not currently, but if the offer is right...

Technologies: Python | Django | Flask | WordPress | InfusionSoft

Resume: Email for more details. In my current job, I run the tech stack for an online training company. This includes managing the website and server, squashing bugs, handling tech support, tying together various APIs, and building out new features. Since we're a small company, I also do things like marketing automation, data analysis and reporting, and conversion optimization.

I'm outgrowing the role and looking for the next step in my career. Ideally looking for another small company, with a need for someone who can fill in gaps in the roster and play virtually any position. I'm technical minded and big picture focused; not afraid to question things and speak my mind; and always up for a good challenge.

I have been programming casually for 15 years and professionally for almost 6. In that time I have done: SEO, AdWords, managed complex marketing campaigns with InfusionSoft, setup membership sites, built WordPress plugins, launched a handful of side projects, and watched a lot of Netflix.

She's a WOMAN, not a girl. Sorry—no intent in being PC, but as a female in the biz, it's just profoundly abrasive to read "girl" all over the place.

In a social context, a woman cam be a "girl." In business, she's a woman. Always. Period. This is a business matter, where personal stuff got inappropriately smeared-in to the business, which is the premise of the lawsuit.

Guys: We don't call you boys at work. Woman, please please please.
Those just seem to be for run of the mill fraud - nothing to do with mortgage brokers.

"In Miami yesterday, two people were arrested for targeting the Haitian-American community, claiming they would assist them with immigration and housing issues. Instead, they used victims’ personal information to produce false documents to obtain mortgage loans."

"In California, a prominent home builder used straw buyers to sell his houses at inflated prices. The scheme inflated prices on other homes in the area, creating artificially high comparable sales and affecting the overall new-home market."

"And in Detroit yesterday, FBI agents arrested several individuals in a $130 million scheme orchestrated by the local chapter of a motorcycle gang. The conspirators posed as mortgage brokers, appraisers, real estate agents, and title agents and used straw buyers to obtain around 500 mortgages on only 180 properties."

None of these people seem to be mortgage brokers, though some pretended to be.

ReactJS is a solid solution if you need to ship something _today_, but I think the trend will continue towards WebComponents as they become standardized across vendors (if not Polymer then x-tags, if not x-tags then... etc). In that sense, it's better to familiarize oneself with the technologies that we'll be seeing more of in the future just as we did with new HTML5 elements a few years ago.

It depends on what countries/currencies you do business in and which types of transactions you need to support.
Yes it is! The numbers I posted ($1M/day today, up from $300k/day in 2013) are transactions made on BitPay's platform for services and goods sold by BitPay's merchants, 99% of which are B2C companies (see https://bitpay.com/directory). Real stuff sold to real customers, in bitcoins.

I think you are confused and thought I was talking about transaction volume on the Bitcoin p2p network.

REMOTE developer positions at Twin Technologies.

Contract and full-time positions - currently seeking front-end, node, and scala/java developers.

We are an elite consultancy called Twin Technologies. We're about 25 FTEs and 40 contractors. I settled here after working in multiple startups, contracting for a larger consultancy, and even co-running my own consultancy and incubator. I came back to Twin after a year hiatus because this is really as good as it gets. The leadership is fantastic, and work-life balance is deeply ingrained in the culture. On top of that, I can honestly say that I enjoy working with my entire team and look forward to our three yearly get-togethers.

We're very selective with who we hire, but if you're reading this then it's a good start that you're on Hacker News. We've got some big projects in the pipeline and need to find the right people to join us ASAP. Drop us a line if you're interested. Also drop me a line is you have any general questions about tech consulting. Write to careers@twintechs.com and please include "HN" in the subject.

Hmmm, complete oppisite of me. And I daydream mainly about getting sleep.
I'm not sure it's reasonable to say that C is infrequently complained about. I think it's more likely that we've just internalized the complaints about C, and that they now go without saying. (C is my favorite language, for whatever it's worth).
I think my default code these for cases where like this where an option is to "do nothing" or "return 0" is to always to have a first line like:

Hi, I'm on the Dart team and spoke at IO this year. Remember what? :)

You have to remember that Polymer is a library that helps you implement Web Components. The APIs for Web Components are being integrated directly into the browser. Chrome already has them, and Firefox is landing them now. Even Microsoft is interested.

This is not another framework.

edit: Check out http://jonrimmer.github.io/are-we-componentized-yet/ for a summary of the progress on the Web Components standards.
KarmicLabs: Payment Cards as a Service - fulltime SF

We're building a SaaS service that lets small businesses issue configurable expense/purchasing cards to their employees. Cardholders can use our mobile app to handle receipt capture and expense reporting during transactions (instead of at the end of the month) or request approval for budget changes and large purchases. By issuing the cards ourselves (over the existing payment networks) we can get significantly more data and expose more control parameters than we could by linking to existing cards.

We recently raised our first round and are looking to make our second and third fulltime engineering hires. We've got interesting problems involving security, authentication, fraud detection, and user interfaces.

Stack includes: Python3, AWS, Ansible, AngularJS, SCSS, Redis, and PostgreSQL.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with either of these Google/Apple examples?

If Apple or Google spun off a 503(c)(3) for Swift or Android how would that be a bad thing? It would ensure that the work of those developers stays open source and free to all. Even if it only applies to a particular platform it would still be open source and very useful for the world--if only to be able to see the code.

What the IRS needs is a few finer points of distinction... Let the FOSS development be tax-free as long as it's GPL or similarly licensed (the code must stay open no matter what) but deny such status for code that is BSD-like which may (easily) be used in a tax-circumvention mechanism; where some core code could be open source but to actually make it work you need the proprietary derivatives.

Hi HN - I've just shipped the first iteration of Submarine, a CRM that's built to store all your team's marketing contacts. It auto-archives conversations over email and Twitter, and has a Chrome extension that brings up contact data if you're on a contact's website (or Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, G+ or Pinterest page).

I'd love some feedback on the landing page, and on the app itself (there's a free 30 day trial, and you don't need a credit card to try it out).

Resume: http://bit.ly/1m5XMLd

Email: rhonsby@gmail.com

From writing raw SQL to the integration of Backbone with a back-end Rails API, I enjoy developing on every layer of an application’s stack.

I’m seeking a company where I can constantly contribute to pushing new features and truly influence the product(s) being built.

You can find my latest work at http://roberthonsby.com.
The allegations, if true, are bad.

> Mr. Mateen went on to say that he didn’t want boys trying to date Ms. Wolfe due to her co-founder status, and that being a female co-founder of Tinder was 'slutty' because it is
an app people use 'to hook up.'

On a tangential note: it's interesting to see the very weak bargaining on her part on pages 64-65, where she's trying to talk to Sean Rad about her equity. Textbook wrong way to approach it for both parties. He should've been soft, to encourage her not to sue, and she should've been the one with a hard edge, seeing as how she was effectively being driven out of the company she helped co-found.
I learned Clojure/Clojurescript the last half a year which was my sabbatical. Coming from design into frontend, functional programming blew my head off and made me a way better programmer :)
Mediamorph - Numerous Tech Roles (Junior/Senior) (New York, NY) - http://www.mediamorph.com/company/careers/

Do you binge watch series on Hulu or Netflix? Do you love watching movies on Amazon Prime or via your Playstation? Are you interested in building software at the only New York startup where your job is to work with the television, film, and music services you use every day?

Mediamorph is working on several powerful platforms that integrate with the day to day operations of those in the business of the motion picture and entertainment industries. We take a cutting edge software approach, always building and experimenting with the latest technologies.

This looks a nice way to experiment with CoreOS as it is not supported by DO or Linode but an AMI is available.
Allegations of victim blaming tend to be used to shut down conversastion rather then contribute to it. There are times when mentioning victim blaming is appropriate, but you have to be extra careful with this concept.

If anything, this case is system-blaming. More importantly, it is looking at how the system works, and what unintended effects are attempts to improve have. Specifically, observing that the increase is lawsuits leads to the creating of single gender environments, harming other metrics of gender equality. There is no concept of blame in this observation. It is merely a conjecture about cause and effect which can be used to make more informed choices.

Having recognized this we may decide that sexual harrasment lawsuits are not worth it, in which case I may leave the country. Or we could look for ways to conduct these lawsuits in a way that is less damaging. Or we may decide to use/develop other responses to sexual harrasment before going to a lawsuit.

This is a discussion that needs to be had, and your response preculudes it.
Even if she got a lawyer, that doesn't mean there would be no settlement. Her lawyer would highlight the stuff on page 6 and 7, in which corporate policy was apparently that having a "girl" as cofounder devalues the company, and ask for more money. And, if they were smart, they would have agreed. Insurance might have even covered it.

It's not fool-proof; sometimes people are treated so awfully that they want the feeling of justice from a trial. As you say, best to avoid these situations altogether.
Huh what? Care to elaborate?
Lampshaded in one of the episodes where O'Neill asks what "kree" actually means, and the reply is that it's something along the lines of "yoo-hoo".
I agree on the point that allegations aren't true 100% of the time. And it is tragic when someone's reputation is irreparably tarnished as a result of a false accusation.

But it's important to keep in mind that the vast majority of rape accusations are true[1], and this likely carries over to accusations of sexual and gender-based harassment as well.

Statistically, it makes sense to give the accuser the benefit of the doubt. I'd rather unfairly tarnish the reputation of a small minority of the accused, than attack the reputation of the accusers (the vast majority of whom truly are victims of a terrible, heinous crime).

This doesn't mean that the accused shouldn't get a fair legal trial. But I think it does affect how they should be treated by the court of public opinion (until they are exonerated, in the rare cases where that actually happens).

Don't forget the casual homophobia!
I just wanted to say, you're awesome. I've long been trying to find something similar or some easy way to keep up on upcoming conferences. Thank you!
Thanks, we tried a bit of that, but not entirely sure how to scale this and heared some horror stories about fraud, spam and some ugly practices... Happy to pay a nice commission for real genuine sales, but not sure where to start and how to structure it...

EDIT: I should mention that we're a very niche product with rather specific target audience. So general affiliate networks might not be ideal. Or maybe I'm wrong, but don't know where to look.
IMHO this has nothing to do with tech either. Could easily replace tinder with a used car sales company and no one would be suprised.
Hey now, there were at least two words. Chapa'ai meant "stargate". I guess "tok'ra" and "jaffa" count too, but I can't even think of any others.

Probably the least developed language of all time.
I was hired from an HN posting, and if you apply it's likely that I will interview you. If you have any questions, shoot them to andrew.harrison+hn@moveline.com and I'll get back to you soon.
As I see it, the inside of Web Components still need a nice and structured way to function. I'd build my app using ReactJS now, and when I decide to use web components, I can transform each separate ReactJS component into a web component, ReactJS-tag for ReactJS-tag as I see fit.

It's much safer to do it this way than rely on polymer. IMHO. When web components really are here for everyone, you are still stuck with polymer libs and tools and all the code is bound to them. Who knows, polymer might be considered bloat then?
C is infrequently complained about? Seriously? The thing with C is, it's been around for >40 years, so all complains have already been rehashed to oblivion. Dozens of "C replacement" languages developed since then stand as a witness to this.

I find some philosophy of C and Go similar, BTW. Minimalism is an art.
Actually, at such a low speed I find it only helps focus. It's meditative, similar to how a labyrinth is an ancient meditative walking device.

Also, our bodies evolved walking 10+ miles per day. Not standing in one place for hours. The broader point is about reconciling modern lifestyles with the evolutionary past that we are still largely bound by.
