Your experience with Coinbase seems to be common with many companies posting hiring ads each and every month.
I've emailed and applied to various positions for the past 9 months, through these Hacker News hiring posts, but never once hear anything back at all. And then keep seeing the same positions showing up again and again.
Practically all these monthly hiring posts have been regurgitated over and over for months and months. It is very frustrating for many serious job seekers visiting these threads every month, and seeing the same positions time and time again.
Frankly, half of all these monthly hiring posts have been regurgitated over and over for months and months. It is probably frustrating for many serious job seekers visiting these threads every month, and seeing the same positions time and time again.
@clay_to_n Both the email addresses above (software@stasislabs.com AND hardware@stasislabs.com) are undeliverable. On top of that, the same failed delivery happened when going to their website and using the contact@stasislabs.com email address there. Major issue to have when posting a hiring ad on Hacker News, and can't receive correspondence!
Ann Arbor is practically 35-40 minutes away from Detroit via I-94. The region as a whole is how it should be identified/branded. Fragmentation doesn't help anyone nor any community.
For example; Mountain View, Cupertino and Palo Alto are all roughly 45-50 minutes away from San Francisco. Yet, it is perfectly fine to say that they are in the Bay Area, or sometimes even as San Francisco for simplicity, familiarity and recognition sake.
There is really no reason to treat Detroit like a plague ..... it is 2011, let the dark history be by-gones, and give these start-ups the due respect that they deserve. They could be successful anywhere at all. Detroit and Southeast Michigan are glad to embrace them and support their goals.
The only thing is that the problems with Detroit are not in the past, but very much in the present. Ann Arbor and UMich, for better or worse, have a much better reputation in 2011 as engineering centers than Detroit.

Wish Hacker News has a way to flag them.
