Issue #241 // February 27, 2015 // View in your browser

Awesome sponsors make Hacker Newsletter possible, and with this issue I'm experimenting with inline sponsored ads to find other options to work with great companies. Two things - they'll always be labeled as such, and my hope is that they'll link to things that are just as useful as everything else. As always, feedback is just a reply away. kale
