Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2019) on Thursday January 03, 2019 @09:52AM (#18815471)
Amun | NYC, Zurich | Full-time | Onsite

We launched the world's first crypto index exchange-traded product on the Swiss Stock Exchange in November 2018 (ticker: HODL) and have plans for a lot more exchange-traded products in 2019. Our products run on our technology platform, using public blockchain to settle and clear public securities on a daily basis.

We believe in a future where everything is tokenized, and we are starting with tokenizing our own ETF in 2019 in addition to building the backend infrastructure for compliance, fund administration, and accounting necessary to operate not just our own products but other issuers as well. This is a rare opportunity to work on a crypto/blockchain product with a direct connection to a top ten global stock exchange.

Looking for software engineers excited about building this vision, in our office in New York for those authorized to work in the United States or Zurich for those with EU residency or work authorization.

NYT is big one that I know, but others include:

News Corp, Sinclair, WaPo, NYT

Other media companies in general.

Yes it was. See Newspapers/media barons.
Re: Twitter's COO Noto Resigns to Become Chief Executive at SoFi on Tuesday January 23, 2018 @07:59PM (#16219432)
The company Jack Dorsey is CEO that is doing well isn't Twitter. If he is thinking logically, that would be where he will focus all his resources.

Twitter needs and deserves a full-time CEO or to get sold to a larger company that can do something with it.

Isn’t Xapo free?

I think custodianship hasn’t been solved for other currencies but it has for Bitcoin. Coinbase and GBTC are just over charging because they can.

Re:After the end of the startup era on Sunday October 22, 2017 @12:48PM (#15527661)
Why do you not think the world needs SMBs over larger corporations with more resources? Are there any economic study or more academic writings on this topic. I'd be curious.
Re:Software Engineer, Machine Learning on Friday September 15, 2017 @10:06AM (#15257231)
I genuinely don't understand the criticism. You don't find or enjoy working 70-90 hours healthy? That's your view and you likely shouldn't apply for this position.

Even assuming this is crazy, what's wrong with crazy people recruiting similarly minded crazy people? It's most obviously not a fit for anyone who wants to work 40 hours or wants to see their kids or whatever, but for those, there are plenty of other jobs. I just find it crazy that because of your personal views on work-life-balance, you expect Ng to have to change his desires for you. That seems wrong to me imho.

Re:Yelp Posts Q4 Loss, CFO Resigns on Monday February 08, 2016 @10:19PM (#11062824)
Serious question.

Yelp's revenue model is a bad conflict of interest. They rank the destinations AND the destinations have to buy advertising too.

What revenue model could they do that would work and not be shady? I can't think of one. Charge users?

Re:Venmo Five Years Ago on Wednesday October 21, 2015 @01:27PM (#10426946)
In summary- it’s so awesome to see how they went from scrappy to a must-have product that does around $700mm in annual transactions.

Where is this from? Venmo should be doing much higher than this figure.

Re:Your company is not “too far along” for YC on Monday October 12, 2015 @05:44PM (#10377117)
Does YC actually take 7% regardless of company stage?

There's no way YC owns 7% of Quora, for example, and I thought they would follow a similar model to attract larger companies?
