FWIW Github login worked, only extensions I run is a password manager and Kagi.

Seems like social login isn't working for me on OSX. Just downloaded Kiro, clicked the Google option, allowed the app, and then get redirected back to http://localhost:3128/oauth/callback with an error "Error: AuthSSOServer: missing state".

You have your pricing model backwards IMO. If your target market are those who cannot afford healthcare are they in the position to pay monthly for the possibility of discounted service? I understand that when you run the numbers $10/mrr from 1000 customers vs 100 providers is more appealing, but if the system is worth using providers would be throwing money at you to acquire non-insured cash customers at a scaled rate.

How many customers are currently using the system? How many providers and services are available for the first few customers to search through? If there answer is none or close to none I'd think about making the service free to use until it is worth it for one side or the other (it should be providers) to start paying.

Crashed my MBP after a few seconds O_o

Really nice tool! Couple things I'm running into:

1. I registered on my laptop, opened account verification email on my phone. Verification link says I'm verified, laptop say's I'm not even after logging out/in.

2. It says 5 alerts are free, but at 3 alerts I'm presented with a message stating I've reached my limit.

3. Last pass doesn't seem to like the email field on sign in. It won't autofill it :(

Coffee roaster here, at 350F the beans have turned yellow and barely started browning. 390F~ is around the point where most roasters would consider development of flavor to really take off (yeah yeah pre-development phase, I'm keeping it short) and beans will be done at various points after that depending on roast preference.

The smoke that the roaster produces towards the end of roast is no joke, and some has to get on the beans, but I'd say it is minimal enough to not be an issue as there should be plenty of air flowing through the roaster at that point.

If roasted improperly oils could seep out of the beans while in the roaster which burn as well and stick to the beans. I'd say that is more of an issue than the smoke or roasting too dark.

I just saw my first one yesterday and made me instantly question how they paid for that and what their business model was.

At the time of this comment the majority of other comments are all about how the page doesn't work. It is broken for me in Firefox, Chrome, and mobile safari. I don't understand how a page this broken makes it to the #13 slot of HN.

Perfect timing as I sat through a 'for the first time ever blockchain is changing the coffee world' presentation in a room full of poverty stricken farmers and coffee buyers.

Stereotypical sales guy telling these farmers how blockchain is going to make sure coffee is traceable from seed to cup and revolutionize the industry. Everything is immutable, no one in the world is using blockchain for coffee, we are the first and announcing it here today! (just don't google it)

I'm out of the loop on how blockchain would actually help or be truly immutable in a case like coffee. I doubt independent associations are running nodes to prevent data tampering for this private company, and the process from seed to cup has long periods of time between each step. At what point do you enter all the immutable data? If you enter it little by little how do you 100% guarantee the association is correct and you're not mixing up plants, bags of beans, who shipped it, or the 30 other blocks of data we quickly scrolled through?

The B2B was the first thing I wondered when clicking the site. Would be neat to say 'were off setting our footprint via wren' and a 'click here to view our carbon profile and who were donating to.'

Do you/your clients perform any sort of pre-screen before going through the first round interviews?

Value is relative. That is how you justify charging open source $0, a bootstrapped business $15, and a multi-billion dollar corporation $5000. The larger the product/more revenue a product brings in the more value your service offers them.

Looks like a great product. How did you come up with the pricing models? It seems on the cheap side. Have you thought about having something between small and unlimited (at the $50 mark or more) and then the unlimited plan for quite a bit more (or even contact us for pricing)?

Similar results with codescreen.io. Originally I was charging $50/screen which is exactly what I was given per phone screen. Feedback is that $50 is too expensive even though we're seeing the same results and providing reports and a study suggestions for the candidates (which is how I decided to minimize completely wasting a candidates time).

People place a lot of value on human to human interaction.

Not that I don't agree... but for a CPA, lawyer, engineer, and many other professions you have to go through years of education and rigorous testing to acquire the titles. We pull down some of the highest salaries in the US, we have incredible responsibility, and our profession requires zero formal education or testing to prove our abilities. It shouldn't be too far fetched to understand why some companies feel the need to vet their candidates.

Test drove a 2015 Acura, took multiple corners on the freeway unassisted while pacing the cars in front. No clue how long they've had that technology. I'm sure there are more equally impressive cars/packages that we don't hear much about.

Like it and would appreciate daily lists/more names to choose from. Problem I have now is figuring out a side project to pair with one of your catchy names :)

*edit: would also be great if you could gray out names that are taken (there are at least a couple now)

I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the sites/apps on the web have low to medium writes and reads. Developers like to plan on needing Facebook and Uber scale for their new task list and subscription box services though. SQLite benchmarks are impressive, they beat out commercial RDMS in a lot of comparisons.

Its free to host compared to other RDMS which aren't cheap on most IaaS, and spinning up an instance is as easy as deploying it alongside your code.

do referrers get paid by ref10 or by the recruiter/company? how do you ensure a recruiter/company pays and communicates that a candidate was hired?

If your code base is only used within a single workspace (and you know this with certainty) then I completely agree. The issue arises when your code is used outside of your workspace as a shared code base or a public facing API.

Neat idea, might look into this for .NET, the obsolete attribute doesn't really cut it currently. Some of the comments on here mention unit test, static analysis, and just a good all round IDE makes this a non issue, but those are the scenarios I find most dangerous.

A unit test does not prove without a doubt a class/method are not in use. Static analysis/good IDEs are bound to the immediate code base, they can't determine usage when your code is shared across multiple workspaces or when the class/method are only called externally.

Tombstoning isn't perfect, but its safer than what I typically do given a sufficient amount of time to collect logs along side a bit of analysis on a case by case basis (e.g. method AddTwoNumbers() not being called for 6 months maybe okay to remove, whereas EndOfYearReportGenerator() not being called for 6 months shouldn't blindly be removed.)

He definitely had some issues as well. For sex he let assassinating informants and others (non-militant?) slide. It seemed like he still tried to keep the sexual relationship going even after she told him she did some side work cutting a body into pieces, though it was harder and eventually led to him moving on. All around no bueno.

same story here as well.

I try to be consistent with my questions, but it depends on how well the candidate is answering them as to the depth I go into a subject. Generally I ask the candidates about previous projects and work my questions into the conversations. It usually isn't a rapid fire pop-quiz type interview.

Tell me about a project you had the most fun working on. You tell me you started working on a SPA in Angular 2 and I ask if you've heard of some common attacks like XSS or CSRF. You say yes to both and I ask if you had any preventive measures in place or how you would go about trying to prevent them (I'd stop you if you kept going on and on). We'll work our way through the projects stack best we can in the same manner.

We generally used recruiters at all the companies I worked at due to lack of applications. I agree they're part of the issue. I also phone screen for recruiters so at least some of them are doing their due diligence (no idea how they act on my reviews though).

That's what I keep questioning and why I've tried various methods. After screening resumes along with coworkers, at various companies I've worked at, we'll pre-screen or not, bring them in and ask them questions from their resume.

Resume says 'I'm an expert in SQL'. Great, lets start some every day foundational questions. What is the difference between an inner join and an outer join. Why might we use a varchar instead of a char data type? Why do we use indexes? What is the purpose of a foreign key? A good majority of the candidates can only answer the join question.

'10 years experience, senior dev in <main language>' can you write a function that returns the largest number in an unsorted array? Most struggle to even pseudo code it. Tell me something, anything about interfaces. Basic security question on SQL injection/xss/csrf/hashing/encryption. Without a doubt most have only heard of SQL injection and then they get that wrong. Most say hashing and encryption are the same thing.

I do blame myself, the failure rates are incredibly high. But when resumes looks great and onsite can't pseudo code a simple loop, or answer basic questions about something they claim expertise in, what can you do? Require and call references to make sure the the lead dev with 12 years experience and decent companies isn't lying? Because the result of most of my interviews appears that people inflate their resumes and flat out lie.

I've performed interviews and phone screens for years and out of all the techniques I've tried all of them typically end up with me thinking I'm doing it wrong. Basic domain questions, problem solving, white boarding, white boarding along side the person helping them out, coding in an IDE, take home projects. As of today, in Kansas City, I'm looking at around 4% pass rate, and close to 90% utter face palming failures.

I check my ego at the door, I try to make the person as comfortable as possible, small talk, help them out as much as I can, provide them with answers or explanations when they get something wrong. I've never asked an algorithm or data structure question, I've rarely asked a patterns question. Most people can't answer basic every day questions.

Overtime my goal in interviews turned into making sure the interviewee left with more domain knowledge than when they came in hoping it will help them do better somewhere else.

Ended up creating a pre-screening service that asks the same basic questions and in the end provides the user with a study guide based on how they answered. Currently piloting with two local recruiting companies and I'm finding the same similar statistics of failure/success. Maybe that makes me the issue :)

Use it in my software engineer screening service to determine if a user should answer more questions on a particular topic and dive deeper into a particular subject. Using Azure ML, been working out well so far. Went from messing around for days with other ML libraries to up and running within 20 minutes on Azure.

Made up gibberish worth an estimated 140-400k USD based on the wallets ranking (top 100). Somehow that gibberish was transformed into "real" money to pay the bills.

I'm sure this will be poopoo'd, but after performing countless phone screens I decided to make a software engineer screening service. I'm using Azure ML to adapt the screens in real-time as the candidates work through the assessments. It will decide if we should stick with a topic a bit longer and if we should dive a bit deeper into a certain subject. Right now it is just academic and code reading multiple choice questions. I'm currently working on the code editing portion.

There are other services that are similar, but I'm specifically targeting the screening market and offering more detailed reporting. Also as a bonus, candidates receive a "study guide" based on the questions they missed.

As for pricing, I'm forgoing the subscription for a "credit" based system where you trade 1 token for a screen (buy in bulk or on demand). No contracts, nothing to cancel, just purchase what you need.
