Bullshit Wiki – a source of entertaining informations
Wow, thanks for the interest :)
I will definitely publish it this weekend on Youtube (I'm not home right now so I don't have access to the files).
If you'd like to be notified about it, ping me on my email; I would love to have feedback on them!
Looks to me like these companies happen to use the same service to post their jobs. Not that the comment is advertising a JobBoard or Recruiting service.

Would it be better for each company to post an individual comment with the link to their JobPost instead?

> I can certainly understand things like nude photos, sex tapes, etc. but we already have legal means of dealing with those examples. Can someone convince me why this law is necessary and in the public interest?

No, we don't.

Not only is it extremely expensive to go in court to have such a judgement for such affair, but it is also extremely complex as you are dealing with international laws and that most countries will not enforce a judgment made by another one for such "superficial" topics.
And on top of that, you can add the Streisand effect.

Moreover, you still have the right to access the information, it will just not be shown by the popular search engines, as is the vast majority of the web.

This law is there to protect those that get a bad press on the web for things they already redeem themselves, have reach the prescription delay (e.g.: mistakes you did while you were minor) or that suffer from a side effect of some unrelated topic.

If you look at the questionnaire, it is long and complex enough to prevent most of abusive uses as it is the current case with the DCMA takedown idiocy. Plus the process is quite long (currently several weeks, or months) before a request is validated to prevent some scandale to be obfuscated that way.
Well, that was my guess too. Sad that no good alternative has arisen.

I'm happily employed full-time, so I'm not looking for a "job job". I'm looking to help on smaller projects where I can continue developing my self-education in front-end webdev. I prefer to use Git, and my skill level is such that I can probably only tackle small front-end tasks at this point, but those are sometimes the sorts of things that a developer doesn't want to have to grind through on a project. I currently contribute to OSS as I am able (https://github.com/samelawrence), but would also like to take on some paid work if anyone needs a bit of help on something. I could also build out some simple single page sites or apps to host up on GitHub Pages, if someone needs something very simple (like a landing page for an idle domain, or a simple bio/info page for a family member of business). Thanks!

Does anyone know the rough economics of router manufacturing? At what quantity could you get reasonable enough prices to sell it at an acceptable (to consumers) premium?

Build your own, only open hardware (if that's even feasable..soooo much closed stuff) and sell as EFF approved/privacy friendly whatever. EFF probably has enough brand recognition with the right folks to pull it off as a sponsor or something.

Seems like a couple of million kickstarter or similar project to me. Especially if they also serve the non-US market which is currently rather security/privacy concerned.

[unfortunately I know very little about hardware cost/closednes but last time I did a rough check it seems like somewhat of a nightmare field to be in]

Edit: Heck YC could think about opening a spot specifically for a startup that improves privacy (i.e. open wifi router). After all they did enter the nonprofit market. Seems like a reasonable PR/goodwill move.
Truth to be told, while "request" is a fine library, it's not true that "any idiomatic python programmer today will most likely use [it]".

A small, vocal minority sure use it, but I'm sure far, far many programmers (like myself) are perfectly happy to use urllib2.

Pigeon paradox reveals quantum cosmic connections
I spent about a week as an AS/400 operator in-training (they hired me for an available IT position while they worked on getting the real position created). Training was basically a list of "press 3 at 10pm; press Z at 10:02pm; wait 15 minutes".
Really?

I've written guidance code. A missile that doesn't go where you point it is a deadweight loss; while it might be best if they weren't fired at all, it's better they hit their intended targets than random (probably civilian) victims.

They could make the argument that Google (and other search engines) essentially re-publish information so it's appropriate to make them responsible.

I think that point of view is one that many in the tech community don't share. We see it as collating results rather than publishing information.

That difference of viewpoint is very significant when you think about it.

There's something you can do for all of those things. You can avoid beestings by always wearing a beekeeper's outfit. You can avoid lightning strikes by always keeping yourself grounded. You can avoid dying in a bathtub by never taking a bath. These are actually way easier deaths to prevent than stopping terrorism, where you have an active adversary who, without your intervention, will work to attack you. There's always a cost-benefit tradeoff with every risk you take.

Terrorism is an insanely small risk - in 2012 33,000 people died in motor vehicle accidents, which is about 2750 people each month. Compare to 9/11, which was the worst terrorist attack in history, where 3000 people died. Basically, there is accidental death on the scale of 9/11 happening every single month on US roads. And I'm not even saying we need to do something about that - everyone's pretty comfortable with the level of risk they take when driving. It's just not a big flashy risk like the kind that shows up on the news.

Terrorism probably feels riskier because it happens in big clumps. If you were anywhere except a very specific building in New York or a very specific building in Washington, DC on 9/11, you were at pretty much zero risk of dying of terrorism, but a huge fraction of the people in those two places were at extremely high risk for death by terrorism. By that logic, we should be spending a whole lot more on near-earth asteroid defenses and research into how to stop the Yellowstone caldera from exploding, because even though neither of those things is particularly likely to be the thing that kills any of us, if they do go off they'll kill a remarkably large number of people.

HaystaqDNA: Backend Engineer, Frontend Engineer

New York, NY or Washington, DC

HaystaqDNA is a predictive analytics startup that teams with businesses and advocacy groups and brings data savvy to their customer and supporter acquisition efforts. Our commercial clients include international auto manufacturers, major television networks, and national retailers.

We’re building a platform that will transform businesses’ customer relationship management (CRM) and their approaches to marketing. Business CRM platforms focus on the past purchase behavior of existing customers -- these generate stale insights and say little about where to hunt for growth. Our platform will incorporate outside data sources as well as live research in order to generate up-to-date and actionable leads.

We’re looking for top-notch Backend and Frontend Engineers to join our team in New York or Washington, DC. We’re a small company (and growing!) so engineers must be ready to contribute to the technical vision of our organization and take ownership of real projects, from design to development to deployment.

Backend engineers should be strong Python web application developers. We use Django for larger, client-facing projects and Flask for smaller, internal-facing APIs. Frontend engineers should have strong familiarity with client-side development in JavaScript, familiarity with HTML and CSS, and a good sense of design. Familiarity with database design and administration (we use MySQL) as well as version control (we use Git) are also important.

We offer competitive compensation and benefits. We value diversity and encourage engineers from all backgrounds to apply.

Interested? Send an email to engineering@haystaqdna.com.

>Why do you try to imply that identifying pro-Putin shills

Identifying pro-Putin shills is not what's being done here. This is just accusing people that don't agree with everything said about Russia and the depiction in the US media of the current conflict in Ukraine of being Russian shills.

I remember when people who questioned the Iraq war had to constantly defend themselves from accusations of being terrorist shills. This has the exact same chilling effect.

edit: I am honestly interested in evidence of shill posting. I enjoy the detective work. If your evidence of shilling is that you think that the opinions people hold could only be held by shills, you're just stifling dissent in the traditional way that it has always been done. It's no more noble or complex than that.

I've bought a couple of domains on Flippa that had a 'built in' business purpose. SideProjectors has been very hit or miss in that some of those sellers don't respond back to any questions (for me at least).
Although I agree with some things highlighted in this article, there's one that I strongly disagree with: the niche you choose has everything to do with success, however polished your app is.

If you want to be a profitable indie shop, don't make yet another todo-list, note-taking or rss-reader app. These are "student" projects or hobbyists side-projects. However polished your app is, you are not bringing any significant value to your potential customers. There are tons of alternatives and many free ones. Basically, you can code and manage a project, that's one side of the coin but you are also showing that you are not really creative in terms of building something new, that solves an existing issue and that people want to pay for.

Also, I agree with people mentionning the bad screenshots. If I'm going to pay $4.99 for an app, I want to feel it is a polished app and not a quick chinese knock-off of a popular one (which the current screenshots heavily convey).

When a niche market is already full, more thinking could have gone into the name. By not incorporating the word "RSS" in it, it is quite hard to do a search or even get at first sight what the app is. "Unread RSS" would have worked just fine.
