Do you know that he hasn't advocated for better pay/working conditions? Professors run the full gamut of opinion on this issue. Without knowing him, I would think it difficult to know his stance.

As far as slapping his name on their hard work, it's a symbiotic relationship. He works with his grad students individually on their research: guiding them away from dead-end areas, provoking them to dig into certain areas while providing references as starting points, helping them with the fine points of writing up their research, and using his contacts and reputation to secure academic positions when they graduate. In turn, yes, his name goes first on some papers. If he did nothing to help them, I'd say they have a legitimate gripe. In his case, he's available to them all the time.

"So basically, the principles of economics upset him, but he understands them."

The "principles of economics" are not the issue. His program is sought after, so he had to turn someone down in order to fund the person who decided to leave. Yes, it upsets him.

I don't think there would be a plausible way to detect this. IIRC the bulk data collection was implemented by splicing into network wires at key locations and routing the traffic two ways, into the bulk data collection rooms, and out its intended direction.

I'm looking for an experienced full-stack Django developer to build out a new website for me from scratch.

While the site is a CRUD app at heart, I think there are a few interesting technical challenges that will need to be tackled, including safely handling user provided text and picture uploads.

That's a great story. I'm curious about Arabic now - can you tell us more?
> You didn't really answer my question. Actually, you didn't answer it at all.

Yes, you asked two questions, and I answered both of them:

Q. What was violated?

A. The Constitution, in that even if the bulk metadata collection program did not intrude on reserved rights and therefore could Constitutionally be done by the government, it would require authorization by Congress for the Executive Branch to have authority to do it, and, although the Executive has claimed it was authorized by Section 215, it was not, as the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled.

Q. What was done that was illegal?

A. The entire bulk metadata collection program, for the reasons stated above.

> Because I'm not very bright, can you please spell out, in very simple terms, what right was violated?

The most fundamental political right on which the entire American system is based: the right to popular sovereignty, that is, the right to a government in which each part of the government exercises only those powers assigned to it by the people (in the case of the US, either directly through the Constitution, or through acts of other parts of government themselves acting through their Constitutional powers.)

Hey, maybe we'd find that not seeing enough genitalia during childhood leads to psychological damage and that people damaged by it tend to reproduce the same abuse on their own progeny.
Perhaps the question of whether `const` in a language that doesn't do much static type checking/analysis is a question of style, and not a clear across-the-board win.
>It's sad that people's alcohol fueled idiocy -not crime,but idiocy, becomes public and has repercussions in real life.

I'm not sure I have this thought out well enough to write down but I'm going to try. I love the Internet, I love the Web. I love the new communications these technologies allow and empower. However, I have long been worried about the perceived anonymity of the Web, from both perspectives of (1) "hey you really shouldn't think you are anonymous" and (2) "wow, you are a complete moron when you think you're anonymous". I have also witnessed an inexorable degradation of personal content and personal speech on the Web, largely due (in my opinion) to this perceived anonymity.

Maybe it's my British upbringing, but I for one would welcome a few more people being held to account publicly for that which they say in public. For many of us, there existed a world before this one that was less generally rude, more consequential. As a child and a young man, I knew that the people around me might see me acting in a given unsociable manner and report to my parents/aunts/uncles/cousins/whomever. This seems to have been forgotten online.

I'm not certain how far to take this thought, but it seems to me that it wasn't all that long ago that in smaller, more defined communities, more people were similarly held to account by their community for their speech and actions. Our collective community has grown from village and town and city to worldwide, is this not perhaps simply the social mores and expectations finally beginning to catch up? If so, is that entirely a Bad Thing (TM)?

Could it, should it lead to a more polite, more respectful online community of humanity?

Strategic Marketing Copywriter for Web/Mobile Application

We are preparing to launch a web and mobile communication platform for the real estate industry and are looking to hire an extremely talented copywriter and marketing strategist. Coming to market with the top product in our category, we want to position our image and brand experience as a truly unique product in the space.

We are looking for someone who specializes in crafting the emotion of a brand in a very succinct and clear way. We believe users don't buy "what we do", they buy "why we do it", and we want someone to help us communicate this to our audience.

Responsibilities:

- Lead the marketing strategy for our launch and rollout of new markets

- Develop copy for marketing materials - primarily email and some print

- Assist in development of user on boarding process, balancing training with marketing

- Develop, test, and refine user acquisition, training, and retention copy and strategy

- Develop and lead regular publication of blog, social media, and press copy

- Lead the research process to discover what marketing messages most resonate with our userbase

This position will require 1-5 hours per week for the next year or longer.

Email team at agentinbox.com to apply.
I took over a job at a marketing firm once who had lost their senior developer about a year before. They had been running on luck and a whatever quick fixes their front-end developers could hack together when anything went down. Needless to say, no one had any idea where the servers where or even how many servers we had. Took a while to track them down.

Almost a year after I had thought that I had tracked everything down we had an odd error start cropping up on our sites where the domains on a couple older sites wouldn't resolve on just some computers. After digging through it we found that there was some name-server that I had missed but we still didn't know where it was until a thunderstorm killed out office router. In the process of replacing it we tracked one cable to a closet in the basement where, lo, the mystery name server was sitting.
I just have to add that this is how pages were generated server-side before XmlHttpRequest emerged. This was deliberate. Addressable and re-loadable states were part of the original design by Tim Berners-Lee. The fact that we have had this whole circus with mutable state on the client side is just a joke to me. I hope that someone invents a sane client-side lib with sane page generation quite soon. Should certainly be possible.

Oh and not even performance-critical stuff like video games deal with the big mess that is mutable state. If game devs redraw their stuff at 100+ FPS and haven't needed mutable state, how come that web devs fall right into that trap? Crazy.
Routing, http, and models aren't hard problems. Blaming React for not being an entire MVC framework is silly. It's not designed to be, and there are any number of ways to solve that problem.

Being able to use it with ANY different set of solutions for MC is especially good. I can use React for UI on top of old jQuery pages if I want to. I'm not forced to change my entire application to use it.

Decoupling is a really, really BIG benefit, not a downside.
Dixie | Copenhagen, Berlin, London | Technical co-founder

Every business needs a back office, yet no business owner enjoys doing bookkeeping, accounting, payroll or the like. Most people end up either taking away precious time from their business and their loved ones, or simply outsource these tasks out of sight, thus losing the benefits of knowing what's going on in their company.

With Dixie we want to challenge the way the back office works. By taking care of the tedious tasks and providing actionable insights - not just numbers - Dixie’s goal is to help everyone do what they love and their business be successful.

So what kind of product will I be building?

Dixie is a tech company, tackling a real life problem. At the core of our product is a personal advisor who assists business owners with their administrative tasks and provides them with valuable insights.

Your job is to craft an elegant and easy to use interface between business owners and our advisor team. Focus is on providing a day to day overview of how a business is doing, ignoring all the noise. Advisors communicate with the business owners by submitting them actionable tasks and answering ad-hoc questions.

Behind the scenes your job is to evaluate and glue together the best existing tools into a unified platform. On top of this we will build the automation that allows our advisory team to focus on their client relationships and not menial tasks.

Requirements

- You are passionate about entrepreneurship and technology - and maybe even back office ;)
- You are passionate about and have strong experience with modern frontend & backend technologies
- You have previous experience as a CTO or lead developer in a startup environment
- You are confident that you can build and lead an amazing team
- You have experience running agile(ish) / lean product development
- Willing to relocate to Copenhagen, London or Berlin

Software Engineer - Kira Talent (www.kiratalent.com/about/) - Toronto, Canada - Full-Time

Our mission is to help schools predict their most successful students. We're used by almost half of the top MBA programs across North America, and are quickly growing in engineering, undergraduate business and science programs.

Applicants complete timed and written assessments created by the school, that test non-cognitive competencies like leadership, creativity and empathy. Admissions teams can then better evaluate students and build a stronger program overall.

We've raised over $3M of financing, and are growing our engineering team in all areas (full-stack web, infrastructure, etc).

Here's what we're working on: - architecting and building global infrastructure to scale our video recording and streaming - workflow features that help admissions team assign applicants to certain reviewers, and manage their reviewing teams - capturing analytics data about how our users use the product, and making decisions internally - data trumps everything!

Here's what we use: Python (Django), JavaScript (jQuery, RequireJS, FlightJS), MySQL, Celery, RabbitMQ, Wowza, AWS,.

You’d be a great fit to our team if you have:

- 2+ years of software engineering experience in production
- Proven yourself as an A+ engineer through great work results, interesting hobby projects, open source contributions, or superior academic results
- Deep experience with multiple programming languages including Python, C, Java, Ruby, JavaScript

Since we’re a small team (you’d be #16), we have lots of fun together! We host bi-weekly lunch & learns, beer o’clock on Friday afternoons, board game nights every few weeks and have done tons of activities outside of work (i.e. wine tasting, cottage retreat, etc).

My name is Konrad, and I'm one of the founders! Send me a note at konrad@kiratalent.com if you're interested!

Hi! We're Nylas and our team is building the next generation email platform, starting with beautiful APIs.
Developers depend on our APIs, so we have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast. We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. That means big technical challenges to solve as we scale our fledgling distributed backend. We've also been working on a new email client, and we're looking for product designers and front-end engineers.

We're using React, Flux, and Electron. More here: http://www.nylas.com/blog/splitting-the-atom

== More about us ==

• Backend: Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian.

• Frontend: Coffeescript, React, (Re)Flux, WebSQL, Atom Shell (NodeJS + Chromium)

• Like open source? Us too-- check it out: https://github.com/nylas

• We're 40% women on our team of 13 (12 engineers), including 1 of 2 cofounders. We want to make that number 50%.

• Our sunny Mission office is more lived-in than tidy. Think art studio, not corporate. Our team is more likely to end up in Yosemite or on a bike ride together than drinking at the latest startup event.

• We have a flexible vacation policy and value personal responsibility and ownership. Benefits include full health, dental, vision, commuter, and lunch at the office every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too.

Apply at https://www.nylas.com/jobs and mention HN. We love it when candidates let us know what draws them to the job, and we encourage applications from women, LGBTQ folks, and people of diverse backgrounds.

Wonderful! I don't use Facebook that much, but I hope this helps make PGP more popular among users and services. In particular, I am hoping for banks to start PGP encrypting the reports they send to me via email.
storage overhead of self-adjusting computation depends on the granularity at which dependencies are tracked, which is in the control of the programmer. my post above provides more information.
Some things feel unnatural about vim. For instance I always tend to remap its default paste behavior to more commonly used one, and claims that one has to "adjust muscular memory" don't sound convincing to me when it introduces a drastic inconsistency.

Most editors paste text before the cursor position, and also set cursor position after the pasted text (after pasting). Vim defaults are different. If you press "p" it pastes after the cursor, and as well puts cursor on the last character of the pasted text (not after!). Vim offers an option that's similar to common behavior. It's "gP" (instead of "p"), so I usually remap p to act as gP, since that's what I use all the time:

noremap p gP
noremap P gp
noremap gp P
noremap gP p

Another thing that's commonly different in vim, is that when you select text in visual mode, it picks the character under cursor as well i.e. beyond the highlighted area. Most editors only select it until the cursor, and not including. Luckily this is also configurable with

set selection=exclusive

May be in vim it was always the other way for historic reasons, but consistency is convenient and at least in my case all other editors / text forms that I use (including browsers) act differently from vim defaults in regards to select / copy / paste behavior.

We're in the process of launching the one and only zero-cost tender offer, letting companies offer liquidity to their investors and employees.

Many of the companies you see on this page use eShares, from the early stage startups all the way up to tech giants in the $1B+ club; clients range from a few entries on their cap table all the way up to thousands+ of employees/investors.

We're looking for a few more FULL STACK ENGINEERS / FULL STACK GENERALISTS. Desirable skills include:

* Python / Django
* JavaScript
* PostgreSQL
* AWS / general dev-ops (not strictly required, but a nice to have)
* General web development

A financial background is not required. We're great at teaching newcomers how private equity works, and have a trove of domain knowledge at your fingertips through our private equity teams.

Why choose eShares?

- Great benefits
- Get involved at the financial center of the startup world
- We recently raised our Series A funding through Union Square Ventures and Spark Capital
- Rapid growth (more than doubled in the last year)
- Great engineering/product team with some fantastic product designers
- Sane work/life balance

We're also looking to hire a few equity analysts (strong Excel, strong communication skills, multi-tasking, eager to learn private equity).
