The title is slightly misleading. It should read "How I landed 15 interviews in 30 minutes of work". She says that the actual process of being offered interviews took a few days.

I don't think this is a bad strategy. The problem, like others pointed out, is the spammy nature of it. If she directed the e-mails to the "send your resume here" addresses - I think it's spot on.

I'm really impressed by Velocity.js. I'm glad that Julian Shapiro is one of the winners.

I think the joke was because only one user's data was apparently accessed.

That seems like an unreasonable standard. If you take things seriously - you can't SAY that you do otherwise people will think that you don't.

They are doodles from Homer's 5yr old daughter. Where do I send my address to get the check? :)

I'm sure this is against Spotify's TOS in some way.

Why? It's a great solution to a very common problem.

Thanks for asking first, we'll get back to you.

pip install django-extensions

./manage.py runserver_plus 8080

Just saved your $30,000 ;)

Why is this "absolutely disgusting"? It's good for Facebook, it's good for local businesses, and it completely optional for consumers. I don't see any problem here.

What would it even mean that the universe is a hologram? Wouldn't it imply some sort of holographic projector?

Being lazy isn't the only reason someone would quit working at Walmart. It might just suck to flip burgers for 8 hours a day. Needing to eat is a very good incentive to do things that you wouldn't normally do.

> Because, unlike current poverty support programs, where the having a benefit program that gives you $X and a job that gives you $X the most you can get is $X, with basic income, you can have the basic income of $X and the job of $X and have $2X.

This is the point that I didn't understand.

From the pessimistic point of view, why would anyone choose to work a crappy job at Walmart or McDonalds when the government would give them the same money without having to do anything.

Walmart and McDonalds (and everyone else) would therefore either go out of business or raise their wages. Raising their wages would increase the price of their goods. Increasing prices of goods would increase the cost of living which would increase the poverty level which would increase the minimum guaranteed income.

It's an inflationary cycle that would be very hard to avoid.

Today is also the 50th anniversary of the assignation of JFK. There probably would have been backlash to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dr Who instead, so they decided to just do nothing.

That's the most annoying comma I've seen in a while. :) Great article though.

"you need to pay 300 USD / 300 EUR / similar amount in another currency"

How about 300 VND? Seems similar to me. :)

I've written what you are talking about for my own personal budgeting (http://www.allocateapp.com). I've never taken it into full production for the same reasons that you are mentioning. It currently supports my banks and anything OFX and works great. But something like Yodlee is what is missing to make it production worthy. It is too expensive for what I want to charge. I'd like to talk to you more. Send me an email - jason@jasonfunk.net

Thanks for the information. William's email address is the one that shows up if I try to cancel the payment in Google Checkout. I've sent an email to that address and haven't heard back.

Which rights exactly are you wanting to take away from corporations?

The provision of making corporations people gives them the rights to not be subjected to searches without warrants, to not be spied on by the NSA, to not be punished for speech, to own private land. Are you really in favor of taking these away?

By the way, this would not only effect the big evil corporations that you despise but the mom-and-pop shops that you love and all non-profit organizations, PACs, charities, churches, etc.

Is their corruption in corporations? Yes. Does that mean we should take away their rights? No. Just as lots of people say really dumb things that we don't like, we don't take away everyone's freedom of speech.

This would have much bigger consequences than most people realize.

Mine is pretty similar. I have a high deductible ($2500) plan Wellmark (BCBS) and it's around $70/mon. I'm pretty sure I've read that it will be illegal in in 2014 because my deductible is too high.

I wanted to show HN about a new Wordpress plugin (my first software release) that I developed. It's an integrated multivariate testing system that is built directly into Wordpress (compare to Optimizely or Convert). It uses bayesian experiment design to maximize conversions during the experiments. I'd love any feedback.
