While interesting - there's often a free or opensource alternative for these "generic" SaaS services. You'd probably be spending just as much on this list if you used no SaaS products and hired an engineer to either maintain the open source versions or add similar custom functionality to your product/CMS/dashboard/somewhere. If you hired the engineer, you'd probably get the exact functionality you needed too.

The point behind the Scotland question is if UK can have some control over Scotland with Scotland remaining a country, even without being fully sovereign from the UK, why doesn't the same apply to members of other higher-level states like EU?

One can make arguments like "why would some folks in England, for instance, decide for people living in Scotland, or Northern Ireland?" but where do you draw the line? Wales has less autonomy than Scotland but is still a "country" on Wikipedia, are they oppressed? Inverness has social policy dictated from the Lowlands, is it not a true democracy then? `davidw in the next comment thread over isn't too happy with the amount of power Wyoming has over California, can it work in the long run? Or is it only EU federation that HN will complain about?
even if you don't have to use AtScript to write your app you will still need to know it to understand examples. This will make it mandatory to learn for most intents and purposes.

It will never happen again at "wheelbarrows of cash for one loaf of bread" levels, because the Brazilian Plano Real (to fix hyperinflation of 1980-1994) largely provided the blueprint for pulling out of it.

Once the old debts are hyperinflated away, the hyperinflating currency is publicly indexed to an imaginary unit of trade, with artificially stabilized value. Then once full penetration has been achieved, and people start making their business decisions based upon the imaginary unit, the old currency is dropped entirely, and the imaginary unit becomes the new circulating currency.

The net effect is to simply wipe out all debts and start over. If you're going to do that, you might as well just get it over with, and skip the hyperinflation step entirely.

Otherwise, you could end up with a Zimbabwean situation, where the currency is destroyed, and the ruling regime actively impedes any naturally occurring repairs to the system, as a means of seizing more economic resources and consolidating its power.

You cannot have hyperinflation without a deliberate and malicious decision to manipulate the money supply and seize economic resources from the savers and builders. Since monetary inflation works best when no one knows it is happening, it would probably be disguised by first redefining the publicly available statistics on the money supply, and then might take the form of buying up certain forms of debt that essentially allow private banks to expand the money supply by issuing their own notes, rather than running the printing press that everyone already knows about and watches closely. Also, if you refer to the program by a pseudonym like "quantitative easing", people will be slower to catch on.

Hyperinflation only happens when the peripheral economic actors are able to recalculate prices as fast as the central bank can manipulate them. It can be mitigated by employing massive amounts of deception, propaganda, and crass stage magic. As long as the retail store managers don't realize that they should be raising prices by 15% per year, they won't. And if people don't see higher prices for goods, they won't demand 15% pay raises. And if workers don't demand more pay, companies won't raise their prices or fire marginal employees to compensate.

If all the people dependent on the US-dollar-based economy realized what the Federal Reserve has been doing, there would be hyperinflation. It doesn't "just happen" because the smartest guys in the room are so much smarter than the median that they are effectively fooling all the people, all the time. The root cause of hyperinflation is already there, but the feedback loop that causes prices to rise rapidly and noticeably has been deliberately obstructed.

Clerky - REMOTE - Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails, Javascript)

Help fix the legal industry!

The way legal transactions are done is filled with inefficiencies, which leads to ridiculously high legal fees. We're fixing this by building software that automates and streamlines the process.
We're profitable and growing. We launched a company formation service last year, and are now one of the most popular ways for high-growth technology startups to incorporate. Y Combinator and 500 Startups both use our software to handle their investment paperwork.

If you are interested in fixing the legal industry, this is arguably the best place to be (no hyperbole).

We use a lot of Ruby on Rails and Javascript, so familiarity with these technologies is a requirement. That said, we're not religious about any particular technology - we believe in using the right tool for a given problem (we also have services written in Scala and Go). We have extensive spec and feature coverage, and have everything hooked up to a continuous integration server.

This is a great fit for people who want to work:

... at a product-driven company bringing an old-fashioned industry into the future

... on a product that has a lot of usage and visibility in the startup community

... in a company that strongly values good software development practices

... at a financially sound company

... hard, with ownership and dedication (but sustainably)

... with flexible hours and competitive pay

... where you'll be a key early hire

Some hard requirements we have:

- An inability to write anything but clean, maintainable code.

- Bothered by code without test coverage.

- 5+ years of experience building software as part of a team with strong development practices

- 5+ years of experience with Rails and Javascript

We are not looking for consultants. This position is for full-time employment.

If all of this sounds good to you, please send (1) your resume and (2) a code sample that you're proud of to jobs at clerky.com.

SEEKING WORK - The Netherlands or Remote.

I'm an experienced full-stack software developer, available part-time.

I specialize in ReactJS based projects. I've been the lead engineer and architect for three React-based projects up until now, including http://www.izooble.com, if you'd like a sizeable showcase.

Unlike some other frameworks, React does not dictate your frontend software architecture. Depending on your needs and your team's existing skills, very different architectures may be best. I can help you figure this out so that we're productive very fast yet produce good and maintainable code from the get-go.

Otherwise, I'm good at C#/.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Scala, C++ and Python.

I craft software that solves real world business problems.

How I can help?

Early stage ventures

I'm an entrepreneur and enjoying collaborating with like minded people. I know and understand what it takes to build a business from scratch. I've been in the startup trenches and know what it takes to succeed.

I can help you form a solid technological foundation on which you can build a business on. Leverage my experience so you can hit the ground running.

Bespoke software

I'm a strong Javascript developer with 8+ years experience. I pick up anything really fast. Currently working on a fat-client javascript framework(backed by node.js), and a continuous integration development, deployment, and hosting infrastructure in Golang. Both projects open source on Github.

I've been everything from CTO/Founder, to first employee, and employee number 256.

I would love to hear from anyone looking for a dedicated employee, partner/co-founder, or an experienced advisor. Or anyone that has ideas or wants to help out my open source stuff.
Why the nasty words for SOAP/XML? I mean, it can be kind of unpleasant to work with, but it holds some major advantages over popular alternatives for building and consuming non-trivial web APIs. WSDL as a mechanism to describe serialization style, operations, endpoints, data types and enums, security bindings, etc., plus all the tooling it makes possible are quite powerful.
So... uh... how do you multiply the job market by a factor of 1.4x and expect people to spend more money? Where is this surplus capital coming from?

There's a lot of weird assumptions with this post but that's a good duality to start with, I guess.

> The firewall on a local machine might suffer from exploits, thus still allowing access.

Is a updated firewall from Apple, Microsoft or ipfw more or less likely to suffer from exploits than a cut-rate device from ASUS, Netgear or Linksys that hasn't been updated in years?

> Or I might want some services open to my lan and only a smaller subset opened to the public (something the personal firewalls built into many OSes can't do)

That may be fair enough but that's just a reason to improve the firewalls in the OSes. As soon as you tether to your phone or use public WiFi you're going to want a solid local firewall anyhow.

More generally, I am open to both delivering something myself or working on a larger distributed team. I prefer projects where I can contribute to the whole stack, from server config (often Nginx in my past projects) to CSS. I also have a heavy preference towards projects and clients that make code testing a priority. In my experience, a good automated test suite (often perceived as an extra time sink) leads to better designed code, and in most cases, overall faster delivery of the final product.

The Obj-C stuff always had a very low cost to bring in C stuff. I've not done a lot with Java's FFI in terms of writing code, but every time I've tried to manage a build with Java that uses external C libraries, I want to cry. That alone pretty much erases the differences in hassle between Java and Obj-C in my opinion.

If 'full time' is redefined as 35 hours, then everybody at least has the same pay...plus new people are hired to fill in the gap. Or maybe not - its France. Maybe folks just go home those hours they weren't working anyway, and somebody fresh comes in.

That's a lot of money spend for not so much in return, imho. Not to even mention the time spend on integration everything with each other. Which also equals are certain money amount.

I'm quite sure that for a lot, if not majority of the packages you pay for, there is a perfect open source, free to use alternatives. Which might require just as much time to integrate as it's paid alternative, but you will have full control, self hosted.

Also consider the impact of the information you are sharing with all these third parties. Might be a bigger concern then currently estimated.

Example, the dead man's snitch, it kind of leaks every time a cronjob runs/fails.

Boxy types, HMF, and bidirectional (older but more recently applied to parametric polymorphism) all leverage partial annotations to handle a more flexible parametric polymorphism than HM itself allows.
Leaks are a problem and people are working on it[1] but you could reconfigure your VPN to carry IPv6 traffic, too. At least OpenVPN is capable of it[2].

It's also a bit of an edge case. Browser-level proxying (Tor, SOCKS proxies) shouldn't leak whereas for p2p/torrent it makes more sense to run the client itself on a remote server rather than route traffic through it.

Not in the least. For all their atrocities, Comcast was one of the early IPv6 adopters and has rolled it out to their entire residential customer base (people with older modems/routers that don't support IPv6 obviously won't pull an IPv6 IP address). That's EASILY 11% of US internet traffic.

I'm a strong fullstack developer with a hugh background building distributed systems and high available systems. I always try to be involve in all of the ecosystem of an application.
I worked with for 4 years but now I'm a Scala evangelist. I love functional programing and building reactive applications.
I think as a developer I am attuned to this most acutely. I see garbage ok the street or read about Amazon's new warehouse and think, "yeah, we may have 500 years to store our garbage, but then what?" When gas prices go down I think "past peak oil, we are just accelerating running out". Or when I read about overfishing, etc I think how we could irreparably disrupt ecosystems with a cascading effect.

But then I think how big this planet is and how ingenuous humans are collectively, and wonder - am I overworrying? I see small waste accumulatung but in scandinavia they're discovering ways to recycle garbage into resources!

So, I don't know. Thoughts?
How Tech Is Transforming Customer Experience
It's a common article of faith among Java guys, who will tell you that there is no way you can write a safe program in a native language, although they can't really say why (it's effectively hearsay) other than pointers are involved. If Gosling said to use Java, who are they to question it?
