————— underdog.io ——— Soho, NYC ——— https://www.underdog.io —————

We’re (https://www.underdog.io) looking to make our first hire, a Lead Software Engineer, in New York City.

Today, we're is a curated two-sided marketplace for talent. We help growing startups hire amazing people across all verticals at a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting firms. We started underdog.io because we experienced the pain of hiring first-hand, having worked at top-notch startups in NYC.

We're currently live in NYC, but we've had serious requests to open in 10 other cities. While the plan is to scale the recruiting piece quickly, the bigger vision is not as focused on recruiting. We're moving towards building a defensible network between companies.

In the interest of full transparency, it's a big job with lots of positives and negatives.

The Good:

• Traction (https://medium.com/@joshuagoldstein/our-first-four-months-bu...) after a few months.

• Proven business model - we're making significant money every month. In fact, we're making enough to pay market rate, and we haven't raised money yet.

• Chance to get common stock in a bootstrapped startup = big upside.

• Full technical autonomy. We've built our internal CMS and tools with Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3, etc. but you're in charge of choosing the technologies going forward.

• Work out of Founder Collective's space in SoHo.

• Work with great freelance designers and advisors.

The Bad:

• Less structure and certainty than a funded startup.

• Only full-time developer until we build an engineering team.

Email chris@underdog.io to apply.

Sorry, we can't sponsor visa candidates.

joker down, are there alternatives besides http://put.io or https://bitport.io/?
These "funding" schemes keep popping up in different contexts. Journalism attracted a bunch of these schemes 5 to 10 years ago. Consider what Mike Krahulik said about Kachingle:

"you can't just start collecting money for me without some kind of deal."

http://webcomictweets.com/detail/tweet/138771362931163136

Kachingle was an extreme case, gathering "donations" for sites like Wikipedia, Google News, and also small sites like Mike Krahulik's. Using this approach on Github is just a new variation on an old scam. As someone else said in that same thread:

"that is the weirdest creepiest business model ever."
About that, I had the absolutely same issue, but I was hosting WordPress.

The first thing I was doing after setting a droplet was changing the password to something that was easier for me to remember, something along the line of 'qweasdzxc' but a bit harder combination. This was huge mistake on my part.

Apparantly my password was being bruteforced and once they get root access the DDOS attacks were being performed. What I did was delete the first droplet, starting a new one and just changing the default password by adding a few numbers after it. Then I went ahead and installed fail2ban(https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-prot...) + some iptables configurations thats are shown in that link. It practicly makes bruteforcing your droplet close to impossible(at least I think so).
If you need any assistence you can contact me through my profile e-mail and I would gladly help you. Remember though you will need a clean droplet, because your system was already compromised and there are holes in it, then simply installing fail2ban will not be enough.

P.S I had to make a new account to post that comment, I guess my old account was punished or something.
I think the idea is that the language is focused towards games. Games generally have some inherent shared qualities, mainly that they need to be real time and the language should be minimal overhead. On the otherhand, a language focused on enterprise software would sacrifice speed and low overhead to instead add some safety features like a garbage collector.

Its not a language only for games, but it is a general purpose language where the main feature set is chosen to benefit professional game development.

Farewell, Betable
This project is only directly, which violates indirectly. Lots of people don't want to be paid directly for their open-source projects.

Mainly because that's precisely what open-source isn't: it's not distribution of software services. There isn't a consumer-producer relationship.

Indirectly is what works great: someone with a vested interest pays an open source developer for his expertise to make sure the open source project continues on. The developer is backed by the full extent of labor laws, welfare services and all other work-related niceties her or his country might have. Or the developer provides a service with clear boundaries which other people pay for, helping provide income for the project's developer and possibly giving it guidance.

Directly there's none of that. There's only people giving money to someone who now has to bear the full legality of it, unaware of the purpose or source of said money. If they don't want it, don't force it on them. Not to mention most projects which want money already have a system set up for it, a system which they explicitly decided was the best for them.

There are loads of other ways to support open source developers other than forcibly putting them in a situation in which they need to hire a lawyer.
Jesus, when I read the comments it seems that most programmers are on drugs while coding. No wonder most of the code out there is so shitty. If you need drugs in order to be creative, that's pretty sad.
One of the biggest signs of the bubble were the lack of sanity on exits and IPOs for unproven businesses and technologies.

In this case there is certainly (some) irrational exuberance for funding, but unless you start seeing lots of minimal revenue IPOs it's not the same animal.

In short - lots of startups may die, but it's probably more things that wouldn't have otherwise been funded. It's unlikely to crash the stock market again at current rates.

CITYMAPPER (LONDON, UK). https://citymapper.com Full time software engineers in London. OK to relocate exceptional candidates.
Recent HN post! (help us solve the problems mentioned) Citymapper is what happens when you understand user experiencehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8238260
We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to help navigate and use cities. We're a VC-backed startup (Balderton, Index, Greylock, Connect) based in London with a team with backgrounds from Google, academia and startups.
We're looking for great people first and foremost, but especially the following roles:
- Routing. We're reinventing getting from A to B in the world of mobile, multi modal and real-time data.
- Infrastructure engineer. Be responsible for our platform in the cloud, shape the tool chain, and ensure that the moving parts of our system can communicate, so that we can expand to all the cities in the world.
- Android and iOS developers. We're reimagining mobile interfaces and developing all the features that we dream about. You care about the "little big details" and know the grotty implementation details required to make things work across a range of devices and future platforms.
- Data pipeline/data science/analytics. We're building an omnivorous transport data processor that fuses together loads of data sources, and a psychic city brain.
- Software engineers. We're looking for great engineers to solve a range of other big problems, including search, data analysis, natural language processing. We use a lot of Python, and some C and Java.
If interested, please contact me at emil@citymapper.com or apply at https://citymapper.com/jobs.
The Rabbit Hole of Using Docker in Automated Tests

Realistically the EU is handling the requests. Google gets a request, they say no unilaterally, and then they wait for the EU to tell them to do it.
I haven't used a standard "consumer" router like this for ages, but ISTR that WPS is something you can almost always disable.

To answer your question: yes, but that's not (typically) necessary.
"Out of the box these home routers all come with the same subnet" - if the customer has any way to change the router LAN subnet, this does not matter. Someone will put it to 10.x.x.x. My cable modem came from ISP with a default login from the LAN side which allows me to change pretty much anything I wish - if in BT setup they do not allow login, then that argument of mine would not make sense.

"NAT that" - sure, if you say so. Unless someone years ago already made that choice for you and you already have that management network.

"yet to come across any 30/8" - http://blog.erratasec.com/2013/12/dod-address-space-its-not-... - read the blogpost and comments.

Or http://networksavant.blogspot.fr/2013/05/70008.html

Or http://xerocrypt.wordpress.com/2013/12/07/the-adversaries-co...

http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2013/12/confusion-alleg...

Of course you also can use looking glasses (http://lg.he.net/, http://www.cogentco.com/en/network/looking-glass in case anyone to check me) to verify that 30/8 is not in the BGP tables, thus is not routed.

And even if it starts getting routed, e.g. someone makes a hijack, the space surely does not have to be 30/8 to be hijacked, as evidenced by e.g. http://research.dyn.com/2013/11/mitm-internet-hijacking/

And let me put a tinfoil hat on and ask: if I were to spy on the home routers and wanted to keep the whole affair in secret, would not assignment of less "hot" chunk of addressing space (like, for example, RFC1918), and then getting the access to the system that can use that range within this network keep me much lower under the radar ?
The point is that a corporation "accepting" Bitcoin is not an endorsement by the corporation for Bitcoin. And even if it were, corporations are hardly the pinnacles of ethics and legality.
This matches my experience: Docker is very promising, and indeed already a very good solution to development and test environments - but the productization level is still low. You need to invest a significant chunk of time to get things actually working.
Kash (YC S14) - San Francisco, CA or Kitchener/Waterloo, Canada - http://withkash.com

Kash is hiring engineers to kill the evil credit card giants. They have a stranglehold on in-person paperless payment. We want to provide an alternative.

Did you know that the credit card industry often makes way more money from retail stores than the store owners themselves? One of our store owners makes $60K a year while credit cards charged the store $72K.

At Kash, we're on a mission to end the credit card monopoly and replace it with an option that helps retailers and that consumers love.

Right now our system works similar to the Starbucks app, but we're always evaluating technology that can make the experience better.

Come chat with us if you think this is a worthy cause. After all, you don't take down giants by doing things half-heartedly.

For more details and to apply, please visit https://jobs.lever.co/kash. Please mention that you saw us on HN.

Just want to get in touch? Please email me at danny@withkash.com
> DuckDuckGo is being irrational? Keybase? Riseup?

Yes.

There just isn't any really solid technical reason to do this. The closest I saw was something like "newspaper dropbox wants to force people to use Tor and an onion address is the easiest way to do that", but again, they could just identify traffic from exit nodes and block anything that isn't coming from there, if there were better tools for it.
I use DropBox and PlainText 2.

Some things I might not be getting:

> As long as there are seeds in the network

There's one problem. Like all other P2P, when people find it not interesting, they stop seeding and it will naturally die.

> all the power of the BitTorrent network for peer to peer distribution

How does the application determine who's the single source of truth?

> No domains to block, no repositories to block

But how does one discover the hash/magnet link? Search over P2P I guess?

> node-webkit with a Javascript Torrent Client integrated

One can craft a program, a special browser like Tor Browser using C++ or something. Any particular reason why JS?

Just my 2 cents. I find the idea interesting yet needs polish.
FYI: PushBullet HN thread [1].
It seems be working very much like Dropbox with additional notifications and target devices [2].
I like the idea, but I wasn't able to find out how long files are stored on their servers, I only found this [2]:

> This push is saved in a database on our servers in order to enable you to access all of your pushes from more than just the device

Also, since the whole service is free, how are they going to make any profit? In this blog post [3]

> PushBullet is free to use and we’re going to keep it that way. It is true though that since we’ve left our jobs, we are going to need to support ourselves. Fortunately, we’ve got a plan that’ll make both of these things possible. In the meantime we’re going to just live like poor college students again to make our savings last while we get everything up and running.

They don't mention what their "plan" is.

Matasano Security - Chicago. New York City. Sunnyvale.
Job Title: Application Security Consultant

Have you ever seen the 1992 film Sneakers? Near the start, we see Martin Bishop (Robert Redford) close out a bank account, and take the proceeds to the managers. He pretty tersely says something like:

"Gentlemen, your communication lines are vulnerable.
Fire exits need to be monitored.
Your rent-a-cops are a tad undertrained.
Outside of that, everything seems to be fine.
You'll get our full report in a few days. But first, who's got my check?""

Cut to a bank secretary, writing Martin a check.

"So, people hire you to break into their places...
...to make sure no one can break into their places?"

Whenever I'm asked to explain what we do at Matasano, this scene comes to mind. Our work is the digital equivalent; breaking applications so they can be made stronger and more resilient to attack, inoculating the world's software like a binary flu shot.

Modern applications are a lot like the bank in the movie. Authentication protects the front door, much like the bank's cameras and guards. Encryption often protects sensitive data, similar to how steel lined walls protect a bank vault. Communication protocols convey information in and out, like armored cars ferrying cash to and fro. Finding the application's 'communication lines', 'fire exits', and 'rent-a-cops' is our goal. As Application Security Consultants we seek the overlooked, the neglected, the unexpected flaws in an application's code. Like Martin, we show how these weaknesses can lead to overall failure of the application, and we do this so it can be improved.

Later in the movie, Cosmo (Ben Kingsley), a villainous ex-con says:
"The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons."
In 1992, that might've been hyperbolic but it's becoming more true every day.

If being part of ensuring the systems we all rely on continue to function safely and reliably, we should talk. If working with smart people on the cutting edge of technology excites you, we should talk. If diving deeply into a wide variety of technologies and facing new challenges daily appeals to you, we should talk. If tearing apart application code and making it do things that its creators didn't intend is fun for you, we should talk.

You can get a taste for the sorts of things we do at www.microcorruption.com and www.cryptopals.com.

Reach out to us at careers@matasano.com or by visiting our web site.
You are right. I usually wouldn't check the code if it is from a credible source anyway.

That was just the first reaction I got, wow this can run anything.
Straight from the article:

"Under the right climatic conditions, Fontus can easily produce half a liter of water in an hour's time."

We already know that it can produce half a liter per hour, but those same climatic conditions are when a cyclist needs significantly more than half a liter per hour.
>>What? You live in a country where someone can use your name in a fund-raiser without your approval or authorization and you will face criminal charges with presumption of guilt?

The point is that, because there isn't a way to opt-out of the project, it is the responsibility of the tip4commit developers to do their due diligence and make sure they aren't putting anyone in hot waters with their project.

Not only have they not done that, they're also being indignant assholes about it.

If they changed it to opt-in, I would think the whole problem would go away.

Exactly. The claim isn't that ubeam is viable, it's that investors like a16z with competent technical staff are more than capable of doing back of the napkin physics before investing, so there is surely more to the story here-- either the company tech can be argued to be viable with more non-public info, or the investors are aware of the impossibility of their current claims but decided to invest anyway.
>(for example, the merchant opens the PayPal site in a frame or pop-up, so you can't verify that it's really PayPal) //

You can right-click the page in Firefox and choose "view page info", then on the security tab you can see if it's paypal, see the certificate, etc.. Someone could hijack right-click, it's going to be a bit of effort though. I think in FF shift+rightMouseClick overrides normal right-click to give you the browser menu, but probably that's capturable by the site too.

Ctrl+I is the shortcut, but I don't think it handles frames.
Maybe, but if they make it clear that they're not sponsored or endorsed by the project in question, it'd probably be considered nominative fair use, at least in the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_use

Hey HN,

I'm Vivek, one of the founders of hackerrank. We're on a mission to make the world flat - the only thing that matters is your skill and not which school/company/country you're in. The utopian state is a platform to hone your skills in a fun/engaging way and connect with the right opportunities anywhere in the world.. through meritocracy. We're building that at hackerrank, a skill graph.

growth:

We've been growing super fast in the last 9 months, almost at 100% Q-o-Q in revenue and 40% m-o-m in MAU of hackers. Our customers use the platform both for hosting an interesting contest(eg: hackerrank.com/addepar) in the public community & to streamline their recruiting process.

customers:

we're signing up customers in a lot of different domains - financial services (bloomberg, morgan stanley) healthcare, tech, etc. software is eating the world. An interesting trivia: every private $B valued company in silicon valley is our customer.

culture:

The people who work at hackerrank are intense, ambitious & yet humble. I'm pretty sure at least 70% of them will start their own company as their next step.

We're hiring for all roles (https://www.hackerrank.com/careers); You can apply through the website or directly e-mail me: vivek@
Could you share your wisdom - how do you find clients, so you have more work than developers?

thanks i got in ssh.

but as for the app, I hit the IP and i just see the "DO Install Button" page. http://cl.ly/image/032E0s0S122I

is this expected?

thx for the awesome work btw, i am just so anxious to try it out, atleast for one of the church i know who could def use something like this.
From Bitcoin's own FAQ [1]: "One could argue that gold isn't backed by anything either. Bitcoins have properties resulting from the system's design that allows them to be subjectively valued by individuals. This valuation is demonstrated when individuals freely exchange for or with bitcoins. Please refer to the Subjective Theory of Value."

Like it or not, Bitcoin has a PR problem. It needs be liked and trusted in addition to "extremely useful, in principle." For all of the grumbling about central banks, most of us enjoy the benefits of them and trust them at some gut level, even if we don't realize we're doing it.

> If Bitcoin does fail, a large part of the blame will be one the shoulders of so many software and IT people who make a flash decision that Bitcoin was "tulips" or a "ponzi scheme", and who refused to change their minds in the face of evidence otherwise

It might also fail, in part, because the community failed to realize that a quasi-fiat currency like Bitcoin has to solve the social problems at least as much as it needs to solve the technological ones.
