Ask HN: Best way to test accessibility of a website?
7 by pcmaffey | 3 comments on Hacker News. Is there a bot/crawler akin to Google's Webmaster Tools that will test, score, and identify accessibility issues on a website? If not, what are some best practices people use to maintain accessibility? Does anyone write tests for this functionality? Would love to learn more, top resources, checklists people use, etc.
Ask HN: Seeking an account of a self-professed philosophical zombie
4 by oneoffq | 0 comments on Hacker News. I've been struggling to find a particular article that I remember reading several years ago on HN. Its subject was a man who claimed to have lost his inner life after either witnessing or inadvertently causing another person's death. If my memory serves, the subject was a priest or minister living in the 19th century. There were no outward signs of his reported affliction and he was capable of communication (i.e. he was not in a coma or otherwise visibly impaired). I believe the subject even remarked upon the apparent paradox of being able to report the absence of an inner life. I'd be grateful if any of you can help me find it. All of my search engine queries were fruitless.
Ask HN: Start a charity-driven staffing firm?
16 by throwaway322 | 18 comments on Hacker News. TL;DR a recent health scare has me reevaluating what I want out of life. I reason my wife and I can run a boutique staffing agency placing primarily software developers in the NYC area drawing salaries of up to 75k each, pay our overhead and together aim to donate 100k-200k+ as a business yearly. I’m a veteran of the NYC IT staffing market but recent years have me disillusioned with the business and just doing some consulting work and taking some down time. A recent health scare really makes me want to make some big life changes that include focusing on work that matters. I think we can reduce our family spending to the point where we could take a family pay cut but do work we find fulfilling that ultimately makes a difference in the world. In my mind the goal would be to somehow have a formula that gives 50% of every placement to charity and the rest to cover payroll and overhead until we reach our 150k total salaries at which time everything short of overhead would go to charity. If our message resonated with companies and candidates to a point where our daily focus could be service rather than sales the amount we could give away (as two normal working people) could be incredible. Question to the HN crowd: Am I crazy, could this work?
