danprisk··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2016)
MS Group | C# Developer | Vancouver, Canada | Full time, Remote

We're a small development team, embedded in a long established geological consulting group. You'll be taking the lead dev role on two early stage web products - both are in the initial keystone customer stage, with some early market fit, but much uncertainty still to iron out. This gives us a great balance of startup like challenges, but with the stability and support of an established company.

Remote is possible, but right now we can only hire from within Canada or South Africa. Very flexible work environment - we work in multiple time zones, so you can largely build your hours as needed.

C# & ASP .NET | MVC & SQL Server | Javascript, CSS, & HTML | Azure

danprisk··on Breaking Smart
"What I'm really curious about is how to best consume these. I suppose a mailing list would be the norm, but I'd like to see them automatically land in Instapaper or Pocket. I'll have to see if there's a way already."

It was a little laborious, but I went through each essay and used dotEPUB (http://dotepub.com/) to convert it to epub, then transferred to my ereader manually.

I considered looking for a more automated solution, before realising that it would take more time looking for a solution than just manually doing it.

Similarly for pocket I imagine with the frequency these are coming out it would be easiest to simply manually add each essay to pocket.

Perhaps written content will end up going down the music route, with subscription based aggregators?

Certainly something that Apple News seems like it could be well placed for.

That's a really interesting future option here, hard to see how it will compete with free adblockers though.
danprisk··on I have 227 browser tabs open, and my computer runs fine. Here’s my secret
I think I'm missing something here. You want 100s of pages accessible from a vertical list, but are happy to wait for them to reload when you re-open one... aren't you just looking for a bookmarks list?
