When you run your business (or in this case event) on someone else's network/app/system you're subject to the whims of the owner. You're sharecropping. FWIW 44Con[1] used Eventbrite[2] (which I'd say is better for one-off events) for the first two years. Eventbrite check-in is awesome, but it's not perfect. This year we're switching to a system we've developed internally and using Eventbrite only for check-in. It's not that Eventbrite isn't good enough, more to do with integration issues, multiple events with different needs and the fees involved to do it all in eventbrite. I'd still recommend eventbrite for someone wanting to run a one-off event though. [1] - http://44con.com [2] - http://www.eventbrite.com

Networking benefits actually depend on the context of how you network. For example, assume you are a new Startup and are actively seeking funding/investment, you run into an investor, greet him with a smile and a hello, and give him your card, and the next day, he lazily gives a brief glance at all the cards he's collected and somehow finds yours a little different. He Googles your start up and he finds it interesting and he decides on investing in your startup, and then bang, your networking has paid off. However, this is only a very optimistic situation, and needn't necessarily workout for the majority. Apart from the indirect marketing, networking can also help you create familiarity - For example, it's much better to say "Hey Investor X, remember me? We met at Event Y and we had a drink together?" than saying "Hey Investor X, I don't know who the fuck you are, but I just want your money.." (in a very subtle way, ofcourse) Forget investors, you actually get to know a lot of Designers, programmers, artists, etc. etc. if you attend these networking events, which in my opinion is one of the best perks you can get. However, I wouldn't talk in favor of SXSW though, because of it's expensive tickets. I would suggest you go to eventbrite[1], find some interesting meetups happening in your place (which usually have an entry fee anywhere between FREE to <$50) and mingle with a lot of people, as actually it will definitely pay off in the end - Either you will find some potential…

Great! So the "scalable" AI deployment in SuperDuperDB is offered via something called as `Listeners` in conjunction with k8s native support by SuperDuperDB Lots of cool feature are in pipeline, Please join a free official webinar from MongoDB, we are hosting about how SuperDuperDB could enable and manage vector search with atlas https://www.eventbrite.com/e/enable-and-manage-vector-search-in-mongod… Thanks

The simplest recommendation I can make is to find EmRes training https://www.emotionalhealthinstitute.org/ This woman offers a very affordable and simple training https://www.eventbrite.com/e/introduction-to-emotional-resolution-tick… Organic Intelligence is another good org, though more complicated to engage with. Self inquiry methods like Focusing and IFS are taught widely, though adjacent to the skill I'm referring to. For a more comprehensive meditation skill set, see Judith Blackstone's books, and seek sessions / trainings in Realization Process. There are tens or hundreds of other ways to learn these things ... I keep thinking I should write a long article I can link to when these questions come up.

Join a meetup for people with similar interests. http://www.meetup.com Twitch can also be good to hang out with random people doing random things. Streams with a small audience let you interact with people more. You can search for local events in your area using http://eventbrite.com or others. You can volunteer at an animal shelter, etc. You can also get a pet. Just don't get a bird as they scream all the time.

This isn't even to take into account that we flub our speech (not to mention writing) all the time. It's easy to imagine someone saying "red... Metal... Big ball!" because that was the order that the features of the ball arrived in their mind. So there's a difference between planned speech and rushed speech, and there's piecing together what someone means through their mistakes. For another example, last night I was watching some Zoom comedy [0] and one of the comedians twice fumbled their joke, saying a word that was important to the punchline too early. So they abandoned the joke and moved on. Inferring what had happened was fairly natural, but you really had to have a robust (as in, fail-safe) grasp of English and, I suppose, culture, to roll with it.

I've only seen it increase. If you haven't seen the movie The Story of Plastic, I recommend it. Eventbrite lists free screenings all the time, which is how I saw it: https://www.eventbrite.com/d/online/story-of-plastic and eventually hosted my own screening. Here's the video of the panel discussion following the screening, featuring some important panelists: https://joshuaspodek.com/the-story-of-plastic-panel-video, all surprised by how much more plastic we create than they expect. To your point, it also documents that we're increasing virgin plastic production, to say nothing of all other sorts of litter and waste.

I also will miss him. He and Jeopardy were a fixture in our home, and life. What a great human. I'm willing to work on this. I have lots of relevant experience, and a can do attitude. I've tackled (mostly successfully) similar challenges like artificial hearts, dialysis, AI and surgical robots. Coincidentally I'm giving a talk on making an artificial heart in 45 mins at the hackaday remoticon: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/remoticon-tickets-115886905855 I'm confident we could solve this problem. Lets do it.

Oh wow, hadn't seen that one -- that was in the aftermath of the 2011 Thailand floods that seriously impacted hard drive availability, there was almost nothing in the supply channel so we had to shuck external drives. Sadly there's not really a great one-stop page for this kind of info -- https://archive.org/web/petabox.php exists but is sadly outdated (I'll see about rewriting it sometime). We do public tours on Friday afternoons of the main office/datacenter (and our big annual event is coming up next Wednesday if you happen to be in the Bay Area: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/world-night-market-the-internet-archives-… )

Julian Castro is doing a seminar series at the LBJ Library that I've been attending. I think they livestream them as well on Facebook. They are definitely worth a watch and address issues of housing prices, services, gentrification, how to approach them from a government and legal perspective. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/policy-seminar-series-with-julian-castro-…

I love this! We are going to broadcast this on the screen at our valentine's day event: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fancy-date-with-javascript-tickets-428933…

Britecharts was conceived a bit over two years ago. We needed something that was fully tested with the flexibility to freely customize the look and feel. There were (and still are!) plenty of great libraries out there nvd3, c3, highcharts, etc. but nothing that quite fit the bill for what we needed at Eventbrite at the time. So we rolled our own and rather than keep it to ourselves, we decided to share it with the community! My colleague posted a followup to a question on a blog post he wrote that goes into more detail about this topic if you're interested: https://www.eventbrite.com/engineering/introducing-britecharts/

Hi, I'm helping organize the meetups in Lagos and Abuja. Hit me up if you have any questions or suggestions. I'd encourage people from neighbouring countries to take the trip down. So I hope to see people from Benin, Cameroon, Togo and of course Ghana Thanks a lot Kat and team for making this happen! Hopefully it will be the first of many. Here are the sign up links.

I love how responsive our local (departmental) instance of GitLab CE is -- it's downright snappy compared to the corporate instance of JIRA. We love the issue tracking subsystem of GitLab and use it as our main ticketing system. We've done a few talks on Git basics to help increase adoption, and are doing a free webinar "Git Foundations: Basic Concepts and Definitions" next week: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/git-foundations-basic-concepts-and-defini… This is the sort of result it makes us very happy to achieve: "I have got by on minimum understanding of Git for a couple of years now--this really brought up my confidence in using Git. After I learned the Git internals, the esoteric commands really started falling into place." --Nicholas Santucci, Monitoring and Performance Engineer

Bay Area has a lot of trap too. Speaking of, my favorite event out here called Trap City SF, is hosting Mike WiLL Made It a week from now if anyone is interested: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mike-will-made-it-trap-city-4-year-at-101… These people seriously throw an amazing party. Come check it out if you're into this kind of stuff, or if you just want to get a taste of the scene.

As far as I know, Disqus (https://disqus.com/) and Eventbrite (https://www.eventbrite.com/) are also major users of Django.

I'm glad I read the whole article, as it's great to see a lot of familiar faces highlighted in the logo slide towards the end - I'm immensely proud of what we've achieved at Overleaf[1] (although with still a long way to go), and it's great to see Sparrho[2] and Impact Story[3] also included in this piece. There's a huge amount of innovation happening in science tech right now, and it's amazing how far it's come in just a few years. For anyone in London interested in new developments in science and publishing tech, were hosting an event on May 10th you're welcome to attend - would love to see new faces there: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/futurepub-7-new-developments-in-scientifi… [1] https://www.overleaf.com [2] https://www.sparrho.com [3] https://impactstory.org

Thanks for sharing, this is both informative and reassuring as I'm currently organizing my own hackathon coming up in 2 weeks. It's a thematic hackathon ("Startup Weekend Immigration") happening on May 29-31 in SF.[1] We'll be hacking on ways to make it less difficult for immigrants to achieve a better life in a new country, and we have some great speakers including the CTO of Zenefits, who struggled with visa issues himself while co-founding Zenefits. If you know anyone who would be interested, they can use the promo code "hn" on Eventbrite[2] to sign up for $25, which includes all meals during the weekend. (Early Bird pricing ends tonight at 11:59pm PST.) [1] http://www.up.co/communities/usa/san-francisco/startup-weekend/5961 [2] https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-weekend-immigration-tickets-16092…

I just learn Python/Django for a side project over the last couple months and launching tonight. I like it way more than rails, that's for sure. If you went to a big university try Google, Facebook, etc. They don't care what you code in, they just want to see if you understand programming fundamentals and problem solving capabilities. The bay area is flooded with Junior and Entry level developers so it is hard to land a spot. You have to go to networking places. The best way to find a job is by meeting someone who is hiring. come listen to Jeff Atwood speak (created Stackoverflow.com) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/jeff-atwood-founder-of-stack-overflow-and…

HI! If you wanna get an idea of how stuff actually works in VoIP, we cover the topics in depth every two weeks in our Expert Q&A sessions (next one is on Porting here:[0]) Here's a link[1] to 4 of the past ones so you can get an idea. We'll be publishing the videos on youtube soon. If you attend these, you'll quickly start to get a good handle on the world of communication; it's just a TON of acronyms. Here's a link to one of my favorite blogs on VoIP [2]. Hope that helps!!!

I was in a similar situation. - For the sim cards. Any monthly prepaid plan like the $50 T-mobile 4G with unlimited data, text &talk is fine. - For internet try check verizon, att, t-mobile or timewarner. I currently have time warner. It's a bit expensive. FIOS with 20mb/s for $45 a month. - For the event checkout http://www.eventbrite.com & http://www.meetup.com and search for the events. - Fro the transportation, get a cliper card. You can take the bart and the bus with it. Unfortunately a car is a must have for the bay area if you are planning to driving around palo alto, ... And, it's a good idea, we should setup an hacker news meetup !

Eventbrite is hiring, and it's awesome here. Unreal team, sick engineers, great problems (scaling, consumer web, data, etc). Come work with the good guys. Check out http://eventbrite.com/jobs/ We're in San Francisco, CA and H1B friendly for the right folks.

Ticket Sales - http://www.eventbrite.com is doing similar, might want to see how they stack up to your ideas before going that route.

Eventbrite - San Francisco (conveniently a block from the Caltrain station). We are Sequoia backed and have grown substantially over the past year. Our US Alexa ranking is around 500 now: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/eventbrite.com We have openings for back-end, front-end, Android, analytics, DBA, user experience, design and more. Culture fit is really important and we are looking for people who can help us grow and delight our users. On the backend we work primarily with Python and Django. See http://www.eventbrite.com/ and http://www.eventbrite.com/jobs

You guys are going up against the big daddys in this space: http://www.eventbrite.com/ I did some research into this space. There are acutally tons of companies in this space which IMHO is a good thing for you. I would try to focus on one niche to get revenue coming in.

Nice job on putting this together. I recently used http://eventbrite.com to plan an event. Seems to be quite similar to what you've put together and has a pretty nice UI (a big improvement over evite anyway) - they also have the ability to charge for tickets, manage your event, etc. Are you thinking the field for "beautiful" event management apps is still small and you're going to go after some of that?

"... I'd like to meet up with a group of people that are technology-oriented ... recent transplant to New York ..." Might be worth checking out http://www.nycresistor.com it provides a private workspace (something like $30/month) and project groups, accessing smart locals on Saturdays & Sundays. The events are here http://www.eventbrite.com/org/52408308?s=1 and you can read an NYT article ~ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/28/nyregion/thecity/28tink.html?_r=1 There is also HN thread somewhere (I killed 'SearchYC.com' looking for it).

There are a number of well funded and executed takes on the idea in addition to the ones you listed: http://www.socializr.com/ http://going.com/ http://eventbrite.com/ Perhaps the problem is that none of them are a 10x improvement over Evite. Perhaps MySpace/Facebook are diminishing the space's potential. Maybe this is just one of those things that will take years.
