negrit··on Interviewing in Silicon Valley
It never happened to me. The compensation round is always at the end.
negrit··on Interviewing in Silicon Valley
The hiring process is for sure broken.

Nowadays when recruiters ask me more than two algorithmic questions in the same interview I just tell them gently to fuck off because "I'm not an algorithmic dictionary and when I need to use one i google it and it's done."

Beside the "040" indicator everything else sounds like golden bullshit to me.

negrit··on Show HN: HN Store
This is actually a good idea you should also add filters (like "Only books from paul Graham on Amazon") and a search box.

And for the UI... well hackernews style I guess.

That's even more weird because I'm in France, using a french ISP without any proxy or whatever and I can see cars from Texas, Nevada, ...

I did found a job in a startup.

negrit··on Ask HN: Do I need a CS degree or should I stay with my job?
I wish the world was that simple.

It really depend where you are. Here in France companies wont even look at you if you don't have 3 years of experience. It's ridiculous.

And the salary it not even competitive.

When you're from the cold Europe like me, the weather in SF is good ! I lived there for a while and I loved it.
negrit··on Show HN: Our alternative to recruiter spam
YES ! Beside the fact that ask for uploading a resume is not a good move. Resume can be very quickly outdated, why not asking to link a linkedin account instead ?

This is someone who likes hackernews who made an app, to bring it on windows 8 with a nice UX and he is asking for $1.49 which is not much at all...

What's wrong with that ?

Come on, give the guy a break and enjoy his good work.

EDIT: I don't know why I was thinking about windows mobile, my bad.

negrit··on French ISP Removes Google Adsense From Websites
I didn't new that. But he is also behind a very big hosting company who changed the game (dedibox). He was the first to introduce cheap dedicated hosting serveur with high speed connection and unlimited data.

He is behind kima venture.

He is also the founder of a Computer Science school, soon two.

negrit··on French ISP Removes Google Adsense From Websites
No you can't use your own router instead of the freebox.
negrit··on French ISP Removes Google Adsense From Websites
Hey guys, french guy here. There is few things you actually need to know. First the ISP Free has always been a game changer in France. First they introduced the "triple-play/low cost internet" wich is TV + unlimited phone call over 150 countries + high speed internet for under 30 euros Then they started to be a mobile carrier and they broke de price with unlimited call over 150 countries, unlimited text/media messages and unlimited internet for 15 euros.

And now they just setup a built-in adblock in their modem and enabled by default.

But you also need to know that since several year Free is fighting against Youtube(own by Google) because they basically wants Youtube to pay a fee for all the bandwidth the users are "wasting" on youtube".

EDIT: I forget to tell you that he is also behind online.net wich is a very big internet hosting company and back then he was the first to introduce low cost dedicated server(http://www.online.net/fr/serveur-dedie/dedibox-sc).

He is also behind Kima Venture, a pretty good VC I guess.

And he recently launch an internet shcool: http://www.eemi.com/ and is planning to launch a computer science school.
