Lovely, San Francisco: http://livelovely.com. Looking for smart, relatively senior devs and designers. No remote, but we'll pay relocation expenses if you're not local and we've sponsored two H1Bs so far.

We're the prettiest entrant in a traditionally un-pretty industry: real estate. This is an entrenched industry that is overdue for some innovation, and it's a great opportunity to work on improving the difficult experience of finding a home. Your rent payment is probably the biggest bill you pay every month.

It's a great time to join because we've recently hit an inflection point, especially in SF where it's hard to find an apartment. We're on Lifehacker regularly, featured in last month's WIRED magazine, and 7x7 named us one of the top startups changing the world.

We're a little under 20 people right now but we're growing as fast as we can find people. We just signed a lease for our first office by ourselves, a gorgeous 6000sqft building.

I run engineering -- ex-YC, Django dev, been in the real estate space most of my life. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions: zain@livelovely.com.

Correction, I didn't design it -- I created orderable inlines and foreignkey autocomplete and got jQuery in. But thanks for the kind words.


Californian here, and it was really close on my first try:

the reflected binary code was originally designed to prevent spurious output from electrode mechanical switches

I'm kinda blown away. Here's an mp3 of what I sound like, if anyone is curious: http://cl.ly/3WDv


Thanks for this. From now on Chrome will be the judge of how clearly and accent free I speak :)


We could've probably normalized this data better. The fact of the matter is that guys use foursquare nearly twice as much as girls do, so every venue will have dramatically more guy check-ins. A 7% male edge actually makes it one of the more female venues in the city.


Does foursquare publish male/female ratio user base stats? Based on the people I know, it seems like only males use apps like foursquare.


It may be the "early adopter" effect. In some cases, over 95% of (self-reporting) early adopters might be male. http://blog.mozilla.com/metrics/2010/08/26/who-are-our-firef...

Anyway, here's one "female" who uses foursquare: http://twitter.com/#!/Snubs/status/26996595662 :-)


Now I'm confused. Your post implies that this is a raw excess (truly 7% more men than women, which is a relative excess of women compared to the citywide average of 2 male:1 female checkin), right? But shasha...sha's post indicates that you've actually already normalized, which would imply that this is actually 7% more men than average, which is already quite male (2 male per 1 female, per shasha...sha's post).

Which is correct? Or am I misinterpreting?


sorry, it is 7% higher than sf's average. this is probably a case of Foursquare's demographic being heavily male [and heavily straight??]


Gotcha. That clears it up; thanks.


You can actually make your WeePlaces map private (click the little lock icon) or delete it entirely. We're introverted hackers and care about privacy too.


To answer your question, I posted this on HN because I felt it would lead to interesting comments. The ruling is certainly cause for celebration, but it's also one of the most publicized cases of a judge overturning a majority vote. I wanted to hear how other hackers settled the internal debate of forcefully eliminating bigotry vs. lessening government intervention.


We try to be inconspicuous when installing our noise capturing equipment. We're frequently questioned by cops but usually they're just curious after they establish we're not stealing traffic lights. One time, some bums asked us what we were doing, and after we told them we were collecting noise data, they started screaming into our noise recorders :(

Engadget's live coverage has more context. It isn't quite a non-sequitor like TechCrunch says -- Walt actually asked Jobs about his relationship with Google, and Jobs made a joke.

  6:49PM Walt: How's your relationship?
  6:49PM Steve: My sex life is pretty good.

fracking TC and its linkbait shit. TC goes back to my hosts file.


Arrington trying to vye for some more clicks IMO


Here's a screenshot of the scary sign in chrome: http://grab.by/4jd4

As you can see, it is indeed pretty scary. Definitely fix that.
