Wow, haven't seen some of those graphics in a long long time. Beautiful. It's just missing the visitor counter and guestbook!

If people won't get off their asses for whatever reason to fight for our rights, at least help out someone that will. Donated.

I don't understand why people hate on others so much, for no reason at all. What is the point? Just let people do whatever they damn like, it isn't like their interests are affecting you. How do people grow this mentality? I have never once negatively judged or put down someone because of some "weird" interest they had, such as preferring to use a typewriter. I seriously don't understand.

Does anyone have any tips on getting started contributing to open source? I'm looking to get into it but I just don't know where to start or even how to find projects where I could contribute.

I thought polygraph tests were a very old technology proven to be unreliable.

Oh, I don't doubt there are. The reputation of affiliate marketing has definitely been sullied by those crooks, though.

Hearing the term "passive income" just reminds me of the Warrior Forum. What an ugly place. Especially when affiliate marketing is mentioned.

I understand someone can create an actual business, a SaaS or product (not some get rich quick e-book) and make passive income like that, but when I hear of affiliate marketing it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It just reminds me of people ripping off others or selling them sham, snake oil e-books for their own gain.

SEEKING WORK - Boston/NYC/SF - Permanent

Junior-level developer here, looking for a permanent position. Preferably full-time but I'm also open to an internship opportunity. I'm currently located in Boston but would be willing to relocate to NYC or San Francisco.

I have a good understanding of: Ruby, Rails, HTML, CSS (SASS), Bootstrap, Git, Heroku, TDD (RSpec/Capybara), Agile methodologies

Currently teaching myself: Javascript, Backbone, jQuery, AJAX, JSON

I love to pick up new skills and am continuing to better my knowledge of everything web dev/software engineering. I'm a self-starter, very resourceful and eager to prove myself. Super excited and ready to work with some great minds and great people. Take me on and mold me into the engineer that you need!

Ah, I didn't know the freelance thread could also be used for seeking job positions.

I think it would be better if it were separated into two different threads, freelancers that are needed/freelancers that are looking for work, and those that are seeking full-time/part-time/internship employment positions. Perhaps my wording didn't properly convey that.

Ask HN: Who is hiring thread but for employment seekers

alxndresp — Wed, 31 Jul 2013 22:17:46 +0000

Has a monthly job seeker thread been tried before? I think it would be a good idea. People looking for employment could just write a little about themselves, their skills, where they are located, if they would relocate, if they are interested in full-time/part-time/internship positions, links to github, linkedin profiles, personal websites/projects and contact information.

Thoughts?

Those "mere dollars" are the difference between a life of unfortunate circumstance and of fortunate privilege which should not be thrown aside. The theory of which you stated is a life of luxury to live in.

Wouldn't requiring inputting your email address and then pressing an ubsubscribe button work? That way when the forwarded user tries to unsubscribe, they know they aren't subscribed.

I remember reading a study somewhere that people are motivated and become happier with more money until around $79k/year. I can't seem to find that article now...

What made you change course and focus on Rails development instead of continuing with iOS?

I'm about to apply and I'm definitely down for the idea of finding living space with others that would be attending.

Great website, I love the design. This looks interesting, I think I'll try it out. Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: Hmmmm, no way to manually add your own websites you want on your homepage? Bummer.
