You guys do not reply to emails/ applications. I did apply here couple of times, but did not get reply even once.

malhaaron Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Under "open with other application" menu, add option of "Set As Default Application"

- DESCRIPTION: Right now we have a not so friendly method to make some application as a default application while opening a certain type of file. For example, I want every text file to be opened in Atom and not in Sublime, I usually have to go to properties> change the default app. Could we make it a bit simpler by introducing the option right in the window - "open with other application"? Right now, there are only two options - "View All Application" and "Find new application". It would also be worthwhile to keep it in the right-click menu window.

- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Software Developer

malhaaron Ask HN: What is a good source of news for Fintech related stuff?

Planet Money - Not exactly an up-to-date fintech news channel. But, these guys take current fintech news as topic and make a comprehensive podcast about it. For instace, when dow reached 20k, they made a podcast about dow. It may not cover each and every fintech news, but it surely covers the important ones; that too in detail.

malhaaron Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2016)

I am a Python/Django guy and have worked in organizations where it is used extensively. I did complete the challenge successfully. After successful completion of the coding challenge, had an HR call. I was told by HR that I would be getting information about next rounds in few days. And bam! a reject! That too without any feedback(even though I asked for it) I know the product is awesome, and you guys are doing a great job; but I was a bit disappointed for not getting the reason of reject.
