How Game Apps That Captivate Kids Have Been Collecting Their Data - <AUTHOR> https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/09/12/technology/kids-apps-data-privacy-google-twitter.html <comment><USER2> I teach coding and robotics to kids age 10 - 14. I'm constantly having to tell them to fill in the birthdate field accurately when signing up for things like Scratch or TinkerCAD because I know it triggers a different account creation path that complies with COPPA.

After half the class says "but my parents tell me to just lie about my age so I can use free stuff online" I end up having to have a whole conversation with the class about COPPA, and more to the point, the question "Is it OK to misrepresent yourself to someone else in order to get them to give you something they otherwise would not" and the slippery slope of little white lies, and when is it OK to lie. It's a good conversation but always eye opening to see what is taught at home. Of course many of these 10 - 12 year olds are also playing GTA V and other MA games with their parents' permission.

<comment><USER3> Why would you teach children to help companies harvest their data by accurately filling in forms for them?

If they we're all just innocent checks to see if they should be offered a product or not I could see your argument. Companies however, have weaponized personal data and once given away it can't come back. They should be adding noise to any data they have to give up just to help mask themselves in the digital world.

<comment><USER4> COPPA means companies are severely limited to the information they can gather on children.

When a child fills out a form with a fake, older, age it increasesthe amount of data that canbe collected about that child.

<comment><USER3> Even if you believed that companies were following the law, which I do not, then you still have to contend with the fact that most software shops are run in such a slipshod manner that you virtually garunteed to have your data stolen when that company is hacked

<comment><USER5> It would seem that the optimal solution is to lie about your age, while still using an age low enough to trigger those legal protections. The best of both worlds...

<comment><USER8> User data is a business model that a significant portion of tech workers are now vested in, this constant stream of conversation and hand waving among insiders who are designing and implementing these systems without protest, dissent or advocating any course of corrective action has normalized it, like state and private surveillance.

Now it just serves as signalling to outsiders by those vested in the system to pretend they are not responsible and somehow equally shocked. That also explains why inspite of so much 'hand wringing' and 'concern' Google, Facebook and others continue to enjoy respectability in tech circles with no shortage of people eager to work for them.

But here is the problem, we expect even the poor and desperate to behave ethically, for highly educated privileged individuals to behave unethically means there is now no basis for expecting any ethical behavior from others in society and you create the conditions for your children and others to live in damaging environments.

This is like going after drug dealers for parking violations and calling a press conference to proudly brag about it. Game publishers are doing much worse stuff and you're making a big deal about going after them for tracking!?

To not even mention in passing loot boxes, really NYT? one of the most pervasive unethical rackets in modern tech targeting children, much worse than tracking because it causes real harm to individuals.

<comment><USER10> > Feel free to exploit young underdeveloped brains to addict them to gambling > for profit

Games are designed to keep you interested and engaged-- that's just what a game is. Children's games have included gambling since toys have existed (dreidel, jacks, marbles, to name a few). Children learn about the real world through play, and gambling is a part of that. Risks give benefits or consequences that are often unpredictable. I don't see the explicit benefit of excluding these gambles from children's games.

<comment><USER9> > Games are designed to keep you interested and engaged-- that's just what a > game is. Children's games have included gambling since toys have existed > (dreidel, jacks, marbles, to name a few).

You're not wrong, can also point to baseball cards, magic the gathering or pokemon cards. The key differences today are

1) Instant-availability of the secondary market and third party sites that allow you to gamble with virtual currency you've won.

2) Devs/Publishers hiring psychologists and cognitive behavior specialists to design these loot box experiences to release the perfect amount of dopamine to get users addicted, with frightening efficiency. In comparison your examples are extremely mild.

You could say it's the parents responsibility to educate and protect their children from these practices - but would you say the same about the tobacco industry advertising to children? For me this is the same addiction from profit motive the tobacco industry exploited for many years until they were rightfully regulated.

<comment><USER11> there "Instant-availability of the secondary market" you're just talking bullshit, there is no such thing, as per your second point so what? do you think pokemon cards people didn't hired "specialists" either? What are those design choices to make them addicted, is a box it opens and that's it. This kind of post is what I hate about NY, people thinking they are so smart, while having quite a narrow/naive/first world view.

Where are my rounded corners? - <AUTHOR> http://bigseadesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Factsheet-Where-are-my-rounded-corners.pdf

<comment><USER3> We've spent almost zero effort trying to make our site "look" the same in all browsers. Our acceptance testing is simple, "does the site look good in the browser being tested?" AND "does the site function as a user would expect?".

That's it. It's probably saved us hundreds of frustrating hours trying to support the various issues with the different versions of IE (all of which may as well just be an entirely different browser for development and testing).

Our educated guess is that _most_ users will use one browser, and not do side- by-side comparisons of browsers and how the particular site lays out.

So IE doesn't give them rounded corners, gradients and decent drop shadows...know what? They're already used to a crappy web experience anyways. No amount of design effort will turn IE into Chrome, Firefox or Safari. Just let IE be IE, make sure all the buttons are more or less where they are supposed to be, and everything works.

This post is spot on.

<comment><USER4> > _So IE doesn't give them rounded corners, gradients and decent drop > shadows... (snip)... They're already used to a crappy web experience > anyways._

Of course IE gives them rounded corners, gradients and drop shadows, and - <USER2> - they are not used to a crappy web experience _unless_ they happen to run into a site designed with the same attitude as yours, which is far less common than you would like to think.

<comment><USER3> Do you have some pointers for standards compliant (or at least relatively compliant) CSS and HTML for rounded corners, gradients and drop shadows in IE 7 and 8 that don't require using DXImageTransform?

All of the information we found that had information on those three components offered either code that didn't work, required dozens of tiny little images, or used DXImageTransform which renders very poorly, particularly when there is text in the same element.

IE users _are_ used to a crappy web experience, I'm stuck on IE 7 all day at my day job and a very large number of sites simple don't work. From fields you can't fill out, to misaligned elements, to sites that simply refuse to work on anything older than IE 8, FF or Chrome.

In our own site development we spent twice as much time trying to use various "tricks" to get IE 7 & 8 to look exactly like it looks in FF or Chrome. Either they worked in 7 but not 8, or 8 but not 7, or if they did work, looked significantly degrades over the rendering in FF and Chrome. Drop shadows were a particular problem. But many elements on our site use gradients, and any of those elements with text were virtually unreadable once DXImageTransform got ahold of them. In the end, short of rebuilding the entire site with dozens of little images, we decided to treat it like we'd treat the same problem with a traditional desktop graphics app -- Level Of Detail.

Just like with a desktop app running on low end hardware, where you make things work by lowering resolutions, decreasing draw distance, lowering polygon count, turning off anti-aliasing, frame skipping, etc. We chose to offer a lower LOD to people using a low-end browser. The site fails gracefully to this lower LOD with all of the functionality still intact. A red box with rounded corners and a slight gradient simply becomes a red box.

As it turns out, this works also on other oddball browsers like Opera. The last version of Opera would successfully render our site with rounded corners, but no gradients. So they got that LOD. The new version renders everything.

There's nothing weird about it, or bad attitudy about it. IE simply represents a less capable platform that should be treated as such. Our philosophy is to spend our dev cycles making good software rather than trying to coax a black and white tv to show color.

<comment><USER4> > _Do you have some pointers for standards compliant (or at least relatively > compliant) CSS and HTML for rounded corners, gradients and drop shadows in > IE 7 and 8 that don't require using DXImageTransform?_

You clearly know that there are no such pointers, and I am pretty sure you understood perfectly well what I meant in general.

I do not care if it is beautiful HTML/CSS that makes a web designer shine with a glow of harmony with standards. What I care about is for IE visitors to see rounded corners. There are ways to execute them, none of which is too complicated, most are butt ugly in terms of involved markup, but they _work_. That's all that matters.

> _IE users are used to a crappy web experience, I'm stuck on IE 7 all day at > my day job and a very large number of sites simple don't work._

This is irrelevant. There is me, a guy with a product, and there is my audience. Why the heck would I want to be like other poor sobs that cannot make a website look decent in IE? What sort of backward justification is that? Especially if I am seeing a good chunk of my visitors using IE.

> _short of rebuilding the entire site with dozens of little images_

You do what you gotta to do _if_ you happen to value your IE visitors' experience. What are several dozens little images compared to stunned visitors' jaws dropping on the floor and their hands reaching for the wallets? :)

> _we'd treat the same problem with a traditional desktop graphics app -- > Level Of Detail._

Do name a couple of such apps. Short of games I cannot think of any.

> _Our philosophy is to spend our dev cycles making good software rather than > trying to coax a black and white tv to show color._

Sure thing, it's your decision, but as they say - _first impression lasts_ and _presentation matters_.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><AUTHOR> The creator's website appears to be: <http://boagworld.com/design/where-are- my-rounded-corners/>

I found the PDF while browsing through a local design firm's website ( [http://bigseadesign.com/2011/05/where-are-my-rounded- corners...](http://bigseadesign.com/2011/05/where-are-my-rounded-corners/) ) which I came across while searching for cross-browser rounded corners effect for my CSS3 pattern generator: <https://zetabee.com/weave/share/3f476353>. Turns out Chrome, FF, Safari, and Opera all support box-radius without any special browser-specific properties.

</comment><comment><USER5> I sympathize with all arguments here. However, if the client expects a lot of the audience to be using IE, and is willing to pay for the extra effort, some conditionally commented CSS and JS could layer on the extra images for the corners that really need to be round without sacrificing any performance or SEO juice. You may also want to check out <http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/> .

<comment><USER6> If the client wants backwards compatibility, then it should be a billable extra. If you're billing on an hourly rate, it's in their best interest to get the project finished as fast as possible.

I don't think the document was anti-backwards compatibility, just well, you know clients... they are always wanting the look like a Porsche, while still driving a rusty old pick-up.

They are just trying to justify the lack of support in an easy to swallow way. You want support, expect to pay for it, but realize that the money you're paying will only benefit a small percentage of your audience (you included).

Everyone's had (and still get) those clients using IE5, saying that if it doesn't work for them, it won't work for the rest of the internet.

</comment></comment><comment><USER7> Am I the only one who finds some slight irony in this document being a PDF rather than an standards-based HTML document?

None the less, I agree with the author -- and it's how we try to design at OpenDNS these days. Too much time wasted to make it look the same everywhere; it just needs to look good everywhere.

<comment><USER8> A web page explaining why rounded corners are expensive in IE, showing both rounded and unrounded corners...in IE.

I would actually stick with a PDF.

<comment><USER9> Because you can't embed images in HTML, right?

<comment><USER10> and then you'll get asked by the client to "just embed images".

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER11> Short version: <http://dowebsitesneedtolookexactlythesameineverybrowser.com/>

</comment><comment><USER12> This post is spot on. While building <http://keeprecruiting.com> we did not obsess over IE. This wasn't planned or anything but we really did not have the time. We ensured that it displays alright and does not break the functionality but we did not bother to make it look pixel perfect. We have built this product for recruiters who are notoriously uninformed about technology. We were helping one of our beta customers and one of the forms in the app was misaligned in IE6. We do not support IE6 but it was the only browser accesible to her at that time (new WinXP image). She immediately closed the browser double clicked on IE again and googled for chrome. This is one of the typical recruiters who does not understand about computers but somebody has told her that if a site looks bad in IE open it in chrome. The machine did not have Chrome so she went ahead and downloaded it after briefly cursing the IT that they do not install Chrome by default and that she had to get it on to her machine.

This is probably because google has started advertising big scale in India[1] as a part of the "Install Speed" campaign. Given the unbearably slow internet lines in India, highlighting "speed" as one of the features is a clever way to market it.

[1]: [https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active...](https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&biw=1280&bih=658&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=google+chrome+billboard+india&oq=google+chrome+billboard+india&aq=f&aqi=&aql=undefined&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=25679l27670l0l12l8l0l0l0l0l549l549l5-1l1)

So for a bootstrapped startup, spending the time on getting the product right is more important than making it look good in IE. In fact, most customers don't care. They will simply move on to a different browser. You can spend the time providing them the features they need. Everybody wins.

</comment><comment><USER4> This sounds like a post-traumatic therapy session for the clients that accidentally saw their deliverables in IE7.

If designers were to show their clients how their pixel perfect Photoshop sketches would look in IE7/8, guess how many clients they will end up loosing? Heck of a lot. You can talk all you want about being SEO-friendly and what not, but if the site looses its polish in some browsers, then the execution is simply not good.

If rounded corners _are_ a part of site's design, then they are presumably there, because they contribute to forming specific impression of a product in site's visitors' eyes. You drop them, all becomes square and that's a completely different feel that sends different product message. The same goes for "font stacks" - you just cannot fall back to Verdana when there's no Calibri and assume it's a work well done†, because it's not.

Consistent visuals are absolutely essential to forming correct branding perception. If you are told otherwise - run, you are being fed bullshit.

\--

† Calibri looks much smaller.

<comment><USER13> Unless you are willing to support lynx (the text only console browser), you need to draw the line somewhere. Where you should draw the line depends on your visitors and how much money you have.

<comment><USER14> Ironically if you need to support Lynx then you will need use simply SEO- friendly markup and likely will have more time for css3 bells and whistles in modern browsers.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER15> This is something I've intentionally started to do with my start-up. As long as the design looks intentional, it's really not worth the stress and the bloat. Make it fast, make it good, don't make it an OCD nightmare

</comment><comment><USER16> This just reminded me how refreshing it is nowadays when you see a very well designed site that _doesn't_ use rounded corners, shadows, or custom fonts, especially since they usually scroll more smoothly, etc.</comment>


How hundreds of ants accidentally kill themselves and evolution won't correct it - <AUTHOR> http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2011/02/22/133810924/circling-themselves-to-death?ft=1&f=5500502

<comment><USER2> Are the particular army ants walking in a circle even able to breed? Or are the mating ants safely tucked away in the colony? If it's the latter, than the only way evolutionary pressure can be applied is to threaten the reproductive success of the breeders. So unless the whole colony decides to pirouette...

<comment><USER3> They don't breed, but worker ants contribute to the survival of the colony. If all/many of the workers die, the breeding ants would die, too. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_collapse_disorder> for worker honey bee disappearance killing the hive (not suggesting any death-spiral/circular milling connection).

But yes, a few hundred (or thousand) worker ants dying isn't a strong enough evolutionary signal to matter to the healthy hive.</comment></comment>


An Introduction to OpenResty - <AUTHOR> http://openmymind.net/An-Introduction-To-OpenResty-Nginx-Lua/ <comment><USER2> I plan to try out OpenResty in the next days, it brings the great Lua language to the web (Nginx web server). In the benchmark OpenResty is in the top part next to C/C++/Java based frameworks: [http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r11&hw=p...](http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r11&hw=peak&test=json)

OpenResty needs a new website [http://openresty.org/](http://openresty.org/) , confusing JS. With more examples, links to frameworks like Lapis, mention high profile users of OpenResty, etc.

<comment><USER3> Yeah the website definitely needs some work. It looks like a side project with a few articles, and then you realize agentzh is the owner of like all the commits to make openresty useful. It's like that rundown restaurant that you keep going back to because the food is so good.

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> We use it a lot at Mashape, since Kong ([https://github.com/Mashape/kong](https://github.com/Mashape/kong)) is entirely powered by OpenResty and probably by now, Kong is the most used and adopted OpenResty software.

Without OpenResty we couldn't have built Kong or make it freely available to everyone.

</comment><comment><USER5> Turbo offers another approach, similar to Python's Tornado web framework. I really like using a lightweight, super fast, easy-to-hack web server. Lua strikes me as a great language for web tooling.

</comment><comment><USER7> I've been playing with OpenResty + MoonScript ([http://moonscript.org](http://moonscript.org)) for various web app middleware features, and so far it's been fantastic. The performance is pretty much as good as you can get without a full C/C++ rewrite, and Lua/MoonScript is better than serving dynamic content solely with nginx config directives.

</comment><comment><USER9> lapis is another framework. [http://leafo.net/lapis/](http://leafo.net/lapis/)

</comment><comment><USER10> Why lua/ngx is better than Go app?

<comment><USER7> Lower latency since nginx isn't proxying anything or even sharing memory. The nginx worker process runs the code as soon as it receives the request. Also, LuaJIT will outperform Go in some (many?) cases.

The performance differences are minor enough to be negligible for most use cases, though. You'd have to be at very large scale.</comment></comment>


Massachusetts and Colorado Top Entrepreneurial State Rankings - <AUTHOR> http://www.formds.com/posts/massachusetts-and-colorado-top-entrepreneurial-state-rankings

<comment><AUTHOR> HN,

I created this analysis to get another view of entrepreneurial activity in the US.

On a tech note, these graphs were created with Protovis, a JS toolkit discussed recently here: <http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1808334> Since Protovis and IE don't yet work well together (IE9 may change that), the page degrades for IE users to show PNGs instead of the JS SVGs.

The inspiration for this visualization came from the Stanford Visualization Group's choropleth here: <http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/ex/choropleth.html>

I would appreciate comments and feedback! Thank you.

<comment><USER2> It seems like the rankings are mostly an artifact of where state borders happen to be. Why don't you do it based on smaller regions, like metropolitan areas?

www.ssimicro.com/jobs

We're a little company based in Yellowknife, the capital city of the Northwest Territories. We deliver broadband satellite internet to 61 of the most remote communities on earth, and now that our network's up and running (although we're investing heavily in upgrading it), we're busy building great software for our customers, optimized specifically for our unique network.

Right now, we're building a file sharing webapp. Why not just use dropbox, you ask? Well, our network is pretty unique: all our traffic is bounced off a satellite, and round-trip latency of ~600ms (which is because of the horrible limitation of the speed of light, which we are constantly working to exceed) means that we have to do things a little differently. SSi is so cool that when we won a government contract to do "time-shifted file transfers", we decided that we /could/ meet our contractual obligations with a few weeks of work/testing, but instead we're building a wicked webapp that brings the functionality to _everyone_ on our network, not just big clients with IT departments.

Yellowknife's not as cold as you think, and the 24-hours-of-daylight summers are not to be missed.

If you're interested and game, we'll make an offer really easy to accept: We'll get and pay for your apartment, a car if you need it, and pay you atop that. We'll do all that for up to three months while you evaluate us and the north, so that it's risk- and hassle-free for you to come to a really great, unique company in an awesome little city.

[http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&...](http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Yellowknife,+Northwest+Territories,+Canada&sll=45.396641,11.829498&sspn=0.012099,0.033023&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Yellowknife,+Fort+Smith+Region,+Northwest+Territories,+Canada&ll=61.258968,-117.528254&spn=0.001041,0.004128&z=19&layer=c&cbll=61.258967,-117.528255&panoid=kDs5LTUO4G8ri6jB1BTrqQ&cbp=12,6.78,,0,4.36)

Looks like they're building a bridge, though. By "not as cold as you think", you mean that the spit hits the ground before it freezes?

<comment><USER7> Today it's a balmy 9 Celsius. Sure, the winter brings a couple weeks of -35 C and below, but with a solid parka and the same resolve we're looking for in our hackers, you can hack it. :)

And that bridge... What a nightmare. It's been in the works for years, tens of millions over budget, and it's become a local joke. "Yea, we'll finish that once the bridge is finished."

Also, you only have to take the ferry in the warm months--from January to mid- April you get to drive on the ice road. There's a show about it on Discovery called Ice Road Truckers (oddly, everybody here loathes the show, despite some of our locals being on it). It's pretty fun to be cruising down a shoveled track of ice on a huge frozen lake, radio blaring. Yes, there are roadsigns on the ice road. :)

<comment><USER8> Here in Padova, the flowers are blooming, everything is breaking out in green, it is 25C, and I went for a drink in the piazza with nothing but a short- sleeved shirt this evening. Yellowknife like a fascinating place, but one I'd rather read about or, at most, visit, rather than live in. Good luck though:-)

<comment><USER7> Thanks! For sure, the weather isn't for everyone. We /do/ get great summer weather (it'll be over 20C before the end of May), but it's a short season. Padova sounds gorgeous!

(Just a Manly-Man-o'-the-North note: I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt today. We bust out the summer clothes at anything above 5C.) :)

<comment><USER6> I could stand the cold, but the winter darkness would get me. Or do you adapt fast?

<comment><USER7> It took me some getting used to. I've been here 14 months now, and I did get a little lethargic at the beginning of the dark, dark winter months. And slightly manic in the all-sun summer light. But I adapted pretty quickly.

You should email me directly - email@example.com. We code for the cameras and the server-side, mostly Python/C -- and there are many terabytes of data to work with. We also have an iPhone app and will support more mobile platforms in the future.

We're looking for generalist engineers who know C like the back of their hand but prefer to code in a higher level language like Python 90% of the time. You should also have experience with IP/networking or a voracious enough learning appetite to get it fast: we work with protocols a lot, and not just HTTP. Linux knowledge will come in handy too ... understanding file systems, system calls, toolchains, etc a plus.

You might work on web, iPhone, embedded camera code, and video server code all in the span of one project -- we don't like silos. Everyone here is an engineer and writes code. Our current team consists of core engineers from Xobni and DivX.

We've been too busy to write up a fancy jobs page, but there are ample sodas, salary, and equity :)

And FYI, we're funded by Mitch Kapor, David Cowan, and Aydin Senkut.

</comment><comment><USER33> Always a Bridesmaid is looking for developers to start ASAP (open to contractors, summer interns or full-time employees). I am a second year at Stanford GSB and will be graduating in June and working on building this business full time. We are going to build a one-stop shop online for bridesmaid dresses. The bridesmaid dress industry is a $2 billion industry in the U.S. that is fraught with pain and dominated by brick and mortar local mom and pops shops (only 19% of bridesmaid dress purchases were made online in 2009). We are going to do for the bridesmaid dress industry what Blue Nile did for diamond engagement rings.

What we are looking for: Web developer – either one person who can handle both front and back-end or one front-end developer one back-end developer. We are going to build an e-commerce site that is overlayed with additional functionality, including workflow and coordination tools; this will be a group shopping platform where the bride can act as a mini site administrator with her bridesmaids connected to her account. We are either going to use Magento as the e-commerce platform upon which we customize or we are building from scratch (we need help evaluating the risk of customizing on top of Magento given that the coordination tools are critical to our value proposition).

Front-end skills should include UX and UI experience. We would love to have someone who can help us with look and feel but are planning on having a graphic designer work with us on this if we cannot find a front-end developer who can do this too.

On the back-end, we would like to set up our website for robust analytics, inventory management, integration with an accounting system, etc. Past experience building a website end-to-end is a must; experience with e-commerce and/or social-networking platforms is a plus.

Founder, Ilana Stern: Prior to the GSB, Ilana worked as a Buyer for Bloomingdales, where she spent a portion of her time purchasing dresses for Bloomingdale's nationwide. Last summer she worked for Bonobos, an e-commerce apparel start-up, and as a management consultant at Boston Consulting Group. Ilana received her BA from University of Pennsylvania in 2005 where she focused on International Relations.

Here's a link to the formal job description: [http://securityinnovation.com/company/careers/job- security-e...](http://securityinnovation.com/company/careers/job-security- engineer-seattle.shtml)

Here's our "informal" job description: Are you passionate about software security? Do you look at MD5 and RC2 with disgust? Do you find yourself reciting hexadecimal often... in little endian order? Do you find security issues everywhere you look? Do you often wonder how software security can be so broken, and why more people don't understand how SQLi, XSS, and CSRF work? Do you smile uncontrollably when you see 0x41414141 on the stack? Would you rather stay up all night, for 12 hours strait, writing a tool to automate a task than do something repetitive and boring for an hour?

If so, then I have great news for you - Security Innovation is hiring! We're looking for somebody who will fit in with our current team of extremely talented security engineers. We pay well, have great benefits, and provide a budget for annual security conferences. We have an awesome office downtown and get to travel occasionally. Enjoy the challenge of penetration testing n-Tier applications, crypto systems, and web apps from some of the largest software vendors in the world while enjoying the office lifestyle of a small, yet established, company.

If this sounds like the opportunity you have been searching for, then look no further, email us your resume today!

</comment><comment><USER65> <http://www.revolutiontrades.com>

We want to add one more hacker to our pre-launch team.

We're expecting to release our early access and close funding (from a top tier NYC VC) both within a two month time frame.

Familiarity with the django framework and mobile platforms help. Off-site work is fine to start, but you need to be from the NYC area for team meetings (or willing to relocate).

• At least 3 full years of experience developing in RoR to produce best-in- class Web sites on-time and within budget • Strong communications skills and ability to get things done in the context of a highly distributed, international team (we have folks in the US, Sweden, Russia and Ukraine) • Pro-active and can-do attitude: if anything is blocking you or unclear, you ask for clarification right away • Pride in your work product: you test your work before telling us it's complete • Passion for travel, and solving users' current pain points

Native Russian speaker a plus; we're developing a cutting edge product at the nexus of vertical search and social media that is launching intially on the Runet--one of the few markets where Google is not the #1 SE and Facebook is not the #1 social networking site.

This is from a friend of mine: I recently changed jobs to a software company with a focus on utilities - OPOWER - and we're growing rapidly. I was employee 75 and we're projected to have over 150 by the end of the year. As software is our product, we need the best and smartest engineers and developers we can find. It's a very cool, casual atmosphere and a great place to work but being on the east coast, it's very hard to find the level of talent that we need.

On the off chance that you know anybody that would be willing to move to DC, please, please let them know that we're hiring. Beyond the fact that DC is, in fact, a great town to live in, it's a great company with wonderful benefits and new candidates receive options in a growing company. I know it's a long shot, but I figured it's at least a good excuse to get in touch. Seriously, we need the best people we can get, and fast.

Show HN: Bookmarks with reminders, wishlisting, ranking, and more - <AUTHOR> https://mochimarks.com <comment><AUTHOR> Hi, creator here. I made Mochimarks because I found that recently, I wanted to go back to certain links at certain times. For example, I'd want to go back to a kickstarter on the day it was ending. Since I resolved to make an online bookmark app anyway, I decided to make my dream bookmark app and add a bunch of features I'd always wanted to have. My focus is to make bookmarks more actively useful. While there's more stuff I want to do, Mochimarks is ready for beta and I would really appreciate some feedback.

Mochimarks has configurable reminders, wishlisting, bookmark ranking, opt-in sharing, and can recommend bookmarks it thinks you might want to read again. Mochimarks also has the features you'd expect from an modern bookmarking website, including tags, read later, full text search, responsive design, and lots of sorting options. I've tried hard to pay close attention to security and privacy. I'm still working on batch editing bookmarks.

The easiest way to interact with Mochimarks is via its chrome extension. Otherwise, there are bookmarklets. I know the online bookmark space is crowded, but I've personally found the features I've added really useful. Thanks!

<comment><USER2> I've just started playing it and like some of what you've done. One thing I've been looking for is easier to assign tags. Like drag and drop tags onto new bookmarks. Have the system suggest tags based on how other tagged the same website or page. Or even do statistical analysis of the webpage to suggest tags.

Also are you doing this as a toy project or is this a business?

<comment><AUTHOR> Thanks for checking it out and thanks a lot of the feedback! There is a suggest tags system in place right now, but it relies on crowd sourcing and there aren't many users right now. I've considered doing some statistical analysis, but I've been focusing on other features first.

I plan to charge once I'm done with the beta, but it would be more of a side business. It started out as a toy though, so who knows what'll happen long term.

<comment><AUTHOR> Yeah, the guide is kind of hidden away at [https://mochimarks.com/info/api](https://mochimarks.com/info/api)</comment></comment>

Just wow. It can't raise a warning when the car's in drive and the fob is absent?</comment>
