kidlogic··on Ask HN: How do detect a crappy boss / toxic environment when interviewing?
Ask about company culture - also ask whether or not you can talk to other employees; their immediate response will be a tell-tale sign whether or not they're toxic.

Freecodecamp.com is superb

kidlogic··on Ask HN: So what's next?
I personally think that within 10 years we'll have a new, better internet.

The recent NSA leaks have brought a lot of attention to privacy, anonymity, and cryptograph sectors - both public and private institutions have strong incentive to safely transmit information abroad. As a result, I think the Internet 3.0 will rise with better performance and security measures.

It will take a long time to migrate the current internet over to a more robust version of itself, but it's certainly possible and, in my opinion, likely to happen.

most addicting game ever.

Emacs + Org-mode
kidlogic··on Ask HN: Can you code on a Chromebook?
Absolutely. I current have the Acer 720p (4g RAM) w/ Codestarter's Ubuntu (https://github.com/codestarterorg/ubuntu-chromebook-installe...).

I added my own ~230 GB SSD because the default SSD is a bit small for programming.

Great form-factor. Great Battery. Perfect for leisurely coding. Definitely one of the best computers/laptops I've used.

kidlogic··on Ask HN: Which questions do you ask to feel out company culture?
In a few words, how would you describe the company culture?
kidlogic··on Ask HN: What's the worst thing that happened to you job-wise?
What was your previous occupation?

I think WhatsApp was a solid purchase, they have a massive, paying user-base and offer great communication alternatives to those in developing nations. Read more here: https://growthhackers.com/companies/whatsapp/
kidlogic··on Ask HN: Should i quit my lucrative job to work on my startup idea?
Complete as much work as you can while being at the startup (customer exploration, wireframing, customer development, team development, etc.).

If you manage to get customers to pay you prior to launch, then quit and pursue your venture.

Just my $0.02

kidlogic··on Ask HN: When do you know your startup has failed?
I was/am in a very similar situation.

My suggestion to you is to take a break, analyze and record what went wrong, and led someone else take the lead for a while (find a position elsewhere).

When you're ready, start another company and don't make the same mistakes twice.

It's okay to fail - the majority of us do. However, if you keep trying you'll get better and limit your risk of failure.

Cool! I was just looking for something like this :)
kidlogic··on Lessons from a Failed YC Pitch with Paul Graham
Kyle is one of the most humble, coolest, down-to-earth individuals I've met - his personality and ambition is what entrepreneurial communities need.

Sounds good! Best of luck :)
kidlogic··on Still Wanted: HTML/Front end programmer for a small project/task
I wonder if D3 (https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery) would be good for this?
kidlogic··on Show HN: Meet Aaahit, your smartest phonebook contact
Don't misinterpret this comment (or my previous comment) as hostile, but handing out a phone number online - without any explanation or accountability - makes you susceptible to spammers.

What is the purpose of Aaahit? You say you're working with AI - what is the primary purpose of Aaahit (discussion, task-routing, scheduling, etc.)?

kidlogic··on Show HN: Meet Aaahit, your smartest phonebook contact
Pretty sure that this posting is a scam.
kidlogic··on Show HN: We made T Combinator, in case YC reject us today
What is the company that you applied to YC with?
kidlogic··on Show HN: Mapdeed.com - Search indeed-powered jobs on a Map
Also, I would make the map larger
kidlogic··on Show HN: Mapdeed.com - Search indeed-powered jobs on a Map
I would like to say that this is....absolutely awesome!

It would be great if you color coded the different categories of jobs (e.g freelance = blue, part-time=red, etc.)!

Another great feature would be the company's glassdoor rating (if any)

Keep up the great work

Codestarter's Ubuntu Package comes with Minecraft and other programming/educational resources.

I am running an Acer 720 with 4gb of Ram and 128gb SSD - best laptop I've ever owned.

kidlogic··on Show HN: Code Fight Club – Become a better developer by fighting
Pretty cool. Recommendations below:

1) Have the original authors post a description on their thought process when solving the puzzle

2) Have voters discuss why they believe one process is better than the other.

Both points 1 & 2 would help make CFC a learning material for new developers (such as myself)!

kidlogic··on Ask HN: Would you be interested in a Spam-call Blocker for your phone?
I've tried enabling it from the web interface and, even though it's selected and my number is properly configured, it still wont work :(
kidlogic··on Ask HN: Would you be interested in a Spam-call Blocker for your phone?
Cool! I've only received a few spam texts. I'll add this as a potential feature.

Are the text messages from short-code numbers (e.g "3948") or are they long-code number (e.g "555-555-1234")?

kidlogic··on Ask HN: Please recommend a 13-15“ programmers laptop to replace 15” MacBook Pro
Acer 720p Chromebook. Install Codestarter's Ubuntu package (https://github.com/codestarterorg/ubuntu-chromebook-installe...) and add more SSD Space (http://www.androidcentral.com/how-upgrade-ssd-your-acer-c720...)

Best laptop I've ever owned.

kidlogic··on Ask HN: Would you be interested in a Spam-call Blocker for your phone?
From my understanding, Google Voice is to be killed. They were suppose to do it in 2014 but have yet to phase out the product. I believe they'll roll parts of the product into Google Hangouts. Perhaps we'll hear of something at Google I/O
kidlogic··on Ask HN: Would you be interested in a Spam-call Blocker for your phone?
I used Truecaller and it's global spam block list had only a few hundred numbers on it.

I haven't been able to actually get Google Voice to prescreen callers. I know that they state they can do this, but haven't been able to implement it on my verizon phone.

kidlogic··on Ask HN: What new skills are you learning?
Javascript and Node.js

I am going to create a Google Voice clone with some additional features. I've been getting spam-called for the past 2-3 months now and it's pretty frustrating (especially if some of those calls are legitimate customers)..
