Hacker News Reader

I would guess most people reading this wouldn't care. And I would also guess that you can guess why. It isn't even close to being a central piece of the story.

khouryon Rumblr is like a dating app, but for fistfights

Brilliant.

khouryon Software developers describing their work in 1973 [video]

Oh god... just as depressing as it is today.

khouryon Why I Left the .NET Framework (2013)

That's the more successful way of thinking, if you ask me.

khouryon Playing with Pigs

What I find most brilliant about this is the emotional connection you could build between human and animal, in this case. I imagine the same concept, but with other humans instead, perhaps situated in horrible situations. Obviously not chasing dots.. hope you get my point.

khouryon Show HN: Askmee

I agree, you need to develop it further, not just make an /r/iama clone with some popular design patterns applied to it.

khouryon Einstein as a Jew and a Philosopher

Actually, you are right. He didn't at all like the development of Israel and he has expressed it several times in both personal letters and as undersigned.

khouryon Show HN: Where is “Who is hiring?” hiring?

> REMOTE no

"REMOTE no problem!" :) Just kidding. Great job.

khouryon Facebook faces class action suit over EU privacy laws

So we are talking about, what, 13, 14 million dollars plus maybe court expenses, naively guessing? In any case, it's a bigger step for the people than it is as a harm for FB. I hope cases like this eventually make a difference in the course of tech evolution, if that's even a correct sentence. Power to the people, so to speak.

khouryon Stripe Connect v2

I mean god damn stripe has some great front-end engineers.

khouryon IBM Design Language

This is like the complete opposite of creativity. I actually feel a bit sick..

khouryon Estonian e-residency

I think we gave the site the 'ol internet hug :)

This sound interesting though.

khouryon Startup creates VetiGel, a plant based polymer that seals wounds in seconds

This is a 𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒍𝒚 negative way of looking at it, in my opinion. It's obvously in a early stage, still only testing on animals. We have no idea how this product will work when it's "in every ambulance".

khouryon Poll: Do you use an ad-blocker?

I use adblock on every site which doesn't require me not to, like on the pages where you create google ads and things like that, github also. In those cases I allow ads. Why make life complicated?

khouryon Game about squares

In a month, someone writes a QBASIC version with random map generation and a month later, someone writes a javascript AI that can play it.

khouryon Ask HN: Do bootstrapped billion-dollar companies exist?

Um.. no. and simply "surviving" for 8 years doesn't say anything. I can register a company today and in 8 years tell you that it "survived" for 8 years.

khouryon RVM 2.0: Convert 20,000 lines of shell script into Ruby [Fundraiser]

$50.000? I don't get the amount of cash needed. Not judging, just not understanding. Could someone explain and justify the need for this?

khouryon Show HN: Get discreet job interviews with your LinkedIn connections

Ok, let me play the devils advocate here.

We get the point, I guess. People will feel less "desperate" in the eyes of the contractor, since they obviously also showed their interest. But at the end of the day, and this is why I will keep my skepticism for now, the contractor has many many more seekers out there who are willing to do the job, than the other way around.

Honestly, in a competitive market, this feel too weak from the contracter's point of view. I you want a job, show it properly that you can do the job well, not bitch around playing some sort of social game, trying to play hard to get or whatever. Tl;Dr: There's no time for this shit.

On the other hand: Great! Like a "Bang with friends" for job hunting! You get matched with whoever is looking for similar talents/positions, and then you evaluate the other part, whereafter you either secretly show your interest or not.

If the normal way is the hard way, this is the curling way where it doesn't hurt as much to get dissed, because maybe they just didn't notice you, right? But hey, you'll never know because you're too much of a pussy to find out.

My two cents.
