I was the first employee at Rethink, very much not an "I just need a technical cofounder post" but a let's fill out our founding team with even more technical expertise.

I hadn't read that. I was probably too dismissive of the claim and the distribution of phone usage was definitely not what I'd expected it'd be. Still I'd question the language of the original article. Saying that "

Yeah this was what killed me after topic two: > But actually, smartphones are mostly used when you’re sitting down next to a laptop, not ‘mobile’, and their capabilities make them much more sophisticated as internet platforms than PC. Re

> I was rejected at Amazon and other companies with no technical interviews because I wasn't a Java engineer. That one seems pretty legit to me.

Would you mind explaining a bit more about why the status quo discourages this type of behavior and what most lawyers perceive as the risks? I'm not really familiar with how it works and I'd imagine there's others on HN who a

Yeah I don't think starting from scratch would make sense, bringing it under the rethink umbrella would be better. It has a couple of things that I think could be better, in particular it could leverage go's native json support mo

Awesome to see an official java driver for rethink. Any plans for a golang driver?

Regarding: "I started working n months before my co-founder" A really good way to handle this is with vesting, which is something every company should have. Normally stock vests as you spend more time at the company, in my opini

Pretty sure interviews wrapped a few weeks ago. As usual you won't know who got in until the companies choose to announce it.

Great idea, would love to see this as a default part of the Go toolchain. I run in to this problem all the time.

> It would take >8 years to pay this money back if they made $1million in revenue a day at a 33% profit margin. Are those numbers actually coming from anywhere in the real world?

I went to Ithaca High School in upstate New York which I think got this right, at least more right than a lot of other places. The freshman and sophomore classes were like Carolyn describes in that they had lots of homework and I felt very

Did pg have any influence on the name? I know that guy likes his macros. Edit: Nvm, it says in a footnote that that is indeed an influence. I'm glad it is.

I think there's a pretty big difference here. Social networks have never been a core competency for Google. They invented modern datacenter infrastructure and are still way ahead of everyone else with it.

It's not really the submitters fault though. In keeping with HN etiquette they posted the title of the article. I'd be criticizing TC here.

A friend of mine told me that politics is the art of getting uninformed people to decide what you want. With that in mind I'd say it's maybe worth having a thoughtful debate about this, probably not about whether or not this law i

This is the thing I don't get at all about this debate, non backdoored open source encryption tools already exist and have for a while... you can't backdoor them because it'd be obvious from looking at the source that somethi

I was really hoping this was the untold story of Mark introducing a bug so bad that the rest of the team made him to stop coding.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that that this fills a slightly different need than Sysdig. Sysdig is amazing though.

I think we can forgive an off topic comment in a thread about administering infrastructure from within a video game. HN isn't that pedantic yet.

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon... but I feel like a SaaS service that lets me check a box to add `apt-get install python` to my Dockerfile isn't a huge upgrade over opening my Dockerfile and adding `apt-get install python` myself. I

Compose isn't great for deploying services but it really shines for command line utilities. At Pachyderm our entire build and test system is based on compose. It's nice because it means that all we need for dev is a working docker
