Any HIPAA compliant Dropbox alternatives out there?
pjnewton··on Ask HN: Who Is Hiring? (August 2012)
I love what you guys are doing, just wish I had more of a technical background to feel comfortable applying for your Account Engineer position...
pjnewton··on Ask HN: Does anyone want to help me make a HN for the fitness industry?
That's a great point. I do enjoy the community here and how it self regulates for the most part and know that it's the community that makes this site work (and also great).

I like the Digg idea, I'll have to take a closer look over there. Thanks!

pjnewton··on Get A Job: The Craigslist Experiment
Yeah I can see how it would be annoying. I know I wouldn't be too happy if I had to copy and paste since I also spent a good deal of time on the format. However, I think that if I really wanted "THAT" job then the few extra steps, reformatting, etc. would be worth it.

Turns out it did help screen a bunch of people that were seemingly just spamming every posting with their resume along with one who copy and pasted an entire (unedited) email mail chain she used to apply to another position...

Overall I'm not very happy with the performance of the posting, maybe it's my fault...

pjnewton··on Get A Job: The Craigslist Experiment
Great timing on this for me. I just posted a job (a real one) to Craigslist and received a handful of responses.

Making the assumption that I would get a bunch of resumes I decided to add one little hurdle. I asked the applicant to copy & paste their resume into the email body. I did this to see who was actually paying attention and who was just spamming every posting and hoping someone would bite. Sadly this hurdle come not be overcome by the majority of the people I heard from... The search continues.

pjnewton··on Ask HN: Does anyone know of any startup founded by military veterans?
Thanks, I hadn't seen this site before and it looks interesting.
