@Palantir what are your thoughts on the raise?
jecjec··on ADP Sues Zenefits for Defamation
The thing about Uber and Lyft operating ina gray legal area is that their products worked perfectly.

Zenefits' web application is a shitshow of JavaScript errors. It is amateur hour over there.

jecjec··on What Silicon Valley Thinks of Women
The front line of the gender war is the American courtroom, where men are subject to grossly unjust and discriminatory divorce and custody law.
jecjec··on Google Fiber is coming to Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville and Raleigh-Durham
Philadelphia is insanely corrupt, owned by Comcast, and will not allow Google to build a network like these other cities will.

jecjec··on Show HN: Match HN Job Seekers With Those Who Are Hiring
Hey everyone, I scored each "seeking work" post against each "hiring" ad. The scoring is based on the .similar method in the similar_text gem. If this is actually a meaningless method, please ignore this post :)

If you posted in the seeking work thread, you can look in the "spit" path for a ranked list of the jobs you ought to apply to!

EDIT: right now it looks like .similar doesn't actually work that well (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14136349/how-does-similar...) so I am looking for a better solution. I have switched to the amatch gem (https://github.com/makaroni4/amatch) and am re-running the comparison. Now I am using levenshtein distance but that still seems bad from what I am reading.
