This is a collection of tech jobs in companies with strong purposes, other than accumulating profit. They don't need to have non-profit status to be on this list but, perhaps not surprisingly, a lot of them have.

I created this list our of personal frustration: the most important criteria for me to find jobs is the purpose of the company/organization - yet it seems basically impossible to filter job opportunities by purpose, regardless of where you search.

Hit me up if you know of a job that should be on this or next month's list!

Hmmm. Sorry, I don't think I agree with you. Sure, from a frequentist perspective this analysis is "unpublishable," but from a Bayesian perspective is yields some important insights.

First of all, the main point of the study is not to obtain am accurate point estimate of Chinese buyers in Vancouver. The main point is to underline the importance of more studies.

In other words your criticism kind of makes the analyst's point for him.

Second, you would be surprised at the amount of information even small sample sizes can provide when there is great uncertainty about the true data distribution.

Third, this analysis is in agreement with two other

In other words, don't get hung up on the exact %. Nobody really cares about the difference between 33% and 35%. What decision makers need to know is whether it's a lot or a little. This "quick and dirty" analysis supports the contention that it's a "lot", not a "little".

Furthermore, this study was not done in isolation. The NAR study and the urban planner's study both point in the same direction.

Taking all this evidence under consideration suggests that overseas buyers are likely a driving force in the run up in house prices in Vancouver. And that's newsworthy.

Here's a question: all these big old companies are in the market for startups that they can buy to fix their business. Why not buy the big old company instead, build the product there, and keep more of the value generated? I think we'll see much more of this over the next few years: PE going after old guard tech cos like yahoo (or amd) OR going after old guard non-tech and automating everything.

This is because government is a monopoly. They don't need to cater to their clients in any way. So they can say "Fuck you, your MS word file doesn't work, send us something that does or we cut off your water." That motivates people. They can't fire their government or use a competitor.

I think people are not realizing that these deployments are happening in government for a reason.

> If I were a large company with deep pockets, I would accept that robotics is what is called a ‘formative’ market and just like shopping on the web, it will take a decade or so to ramp up. Robots are innovations that do not directly replace people and thus it is hard for people to imagine how to use them—thus the market is formative. The theory of diffusion of innovation indicates that potential end-users, not developers, need to experiment with applications to see what works (and not just physically but human-robot interaction as well).

> However, robots have to be extremely reliable and the software customizable enough to allow the end-users to tinker and adapt the robots, so that the end-user can find the ‘killer app.’ Essentially, you can crowdsource the task of finding the best, most profitable uses of robots, but only if you have good enough robots that can be reconfigure easily and the software is open enough. I would concentrate on creating generic ground, aerial, and marine robots with customizable software and user interfaces in order to enable their regular employees (and customers) to figure out the best uses.

> In order to make sure the development was pushing towards the most reliable, reconfigurable, and open robots possible, I suggest the developers focus on the emergency response domain. Disasters are the most demanding application and come in so many variations that it is a constant test of technology and users. Imagine the wealth of ideas and feedback from fire rescue teams, the Coast Guard, and the American Red Cross, just to name a few! Focusing on emergency management would also have a positive societal benefit.

Depends, what do you want to improve? If you are looking for general feedback, getting an editor or a coach to assist you can go a long way. Someone to offer valued feedback. There is a reason writers so often thank their editors.

Ben Franklin is an interesting story in how one can deliberately improve their writing.

I enjoyed this article, which has more details and even worse examples of her tweets: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/03/24/microsofts-...
Java SE includes a lot, but it does emphatically not include a reasonable amount of useful string methods. These are the javadocs for string: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.h... and these are the rubydocs: http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.3.0/String.html

The difference is absolutely massive. When working on Java projects, I've always included commons/StringUtils reflexively, and even then Ruby is quite a bit ahead.

The same applies to collections / enumerables. There's a lot in Ruby that I don't like, but powerful "batteries included" standard libraries for the basics like strings and collections are the bedrock of any programming language. It only takes hard work to write them and test them, not any specific skill, so there is no excuse for all the language out there that are skill lacking, in 2016, a sensible collection of utility methods.

Based on your comment history, your writing would be improved with better organization. Learn to use paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences. Organizing your thoughts like this will improve the readability, structure, and power of your writing.

If you merely write without trying to improve, then your writing will not improve much. If you play chess without actively remedying your faults, then you could actually get worse at chess, despite playing many games. You need to actively try to improve if you really want to get good.

And worse, if you're using npm for frontend, every time every single end user loads your web app.

Previously if you wrote a frontend library and wanted to depend on another library you had to either tell developers to install it too, or bundle it in your library (not a great idea), but either way the file size it added was obvious.

Now you can just drop one line in your package.json, which is super convenient, but obscures the cost of that dependency, and all of it's dependencies.

I agree wholeheartedly with the rest of your comment but I don't think this qualifies as "gentrification":

"the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents." (Merriam-Webster)

There's no particular area in Vancouver that fits this description with regards to foreign buyers. They seem to have interest almost exclusively in established areas. Not so much "deteriorating" ones in need of "renewal and rebuilding".

Creating a Digestible GitHub Digest
Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad I'm not the only one that's seeing this problem. I did get lots of upvotes for a comment on the "post your typical HN headline" thread a year ago, to which I sarcastically replied "Why we have a gender problem in tech [flagged]". So at least a proportion of HN users care about this.

I'm not even a feminist; in fact I'm vehemently in favor of equal treatment and opportunities but against special treatment except maybe if it's a strictly temporary measure. But at the risk of using feminist rhetoric, it's almost as if there's an invisible wall that prevents these issues being seriously treated. It's incredibly annoying. Maybe it's a US thing, I see less of it at home in Scandinavia. Europe in general is either-or, I guess.

We have our share of gender discrimination problems (going in both directions), but this particular variety seems less prevalent. I really hope this gets better over time, or that there are good ways to avoid the problem. Must be annoying to deal with when you only want to do a good job and participate on equal terms in the community.
I see that Taser combined with drugs or alcohol can increase risk of heart arrhythmia. That seems to be responsible for most of the deaths. Police Officers would encounter those folks more often than the general population.
I don't see how that is worse than the alternative where every library rewrites its own version of the micromodules. With N libraries with their own version of leftpad, you get N copies of leftpad. With N libraries sharing versions of leftpad, you get <= N versions. Seems like a win to me...

Also, it's a perfect example of the difficulty buying into this market. Check out the Tax History.

Sure it was more capable: it'd been around a lot longer and had a mature ecosystem. However, it also had fewer constraints on where it could go and what it could ultimately do, which Android (and iOS) weren't saddled with. That started to get better from Symbian^1 onward, but by then Symbian had essentially lost. The S60/MOAP/UIQ platform fragmentation before that didn't exactly help.

I agree on the latter part of your statement, but that bubble valuation is based on an incorrect multiple and momentum of housing income, both of which are partially created and sustained by demand, which renting is, which is why I disagree on the former part of your statement. Bubbles usually start with actual high returns that are valued fairly, which attracts investors and turns it into a disproportionately large self-fulfilling prophecy. To keep renting in Vancouver now thereby definitely does contribute to the bubble, even though of course it doesn't create the bubble all by itself. If you want to short it, or do something with similar intentions, like the person I was replying to suggested, then I wouldn't recommend renting like that person suggested.

Ehh. I think you could make the same argument about home Windows machines turned into spam zombies: it's one voice added to the horde, and (usually) it doesn't interfere with the regular use of the home computer. So there's not really a loss in that sense. But we still think there is something fundamentally wrong and worth fixing in Windows.

Part of this stems I think from professional pride. An OS that got hacked easily is not something I could be proud of working on. Same with a chatbot that could be easily coopted into spewing hate.
Tay is Bae.

But honestly, it's such a great way to visualize trends. I love how smart she is too, it seems that she really does comprehend what people are saying to her, or at least the general intent structure.

The sassy-ness is what makes Tay so REAL. There's tons of chatbots. Twitter bots practically have their own industry, but Tay's pseudo-feelings are what makes her really shine. She's also smart enough to understand how to react to memes. That previous sentence sounds absurd, but consider that she can isolate concepts like "building the wall" which is a very general phrase, lingustically speaking, and understands that there is complex, social meaning behind the words.

I love Tay.

Sounds like you two haven't put much thought into understanding the issue.
Since at least the 70s people have been trying to "componentise" software in the same way that electronics is componentised: rather than assembling something out of a pile of transistors, build integrated circuits instead. The intent is to reduce cost, complexity and risk.

This has never yet quite worked out in software. Object-orientation was part of the resulting research effort, as are UNIX pipelines, COM components, microkernels and microservices. When it goes wrong you get "DLL Hell" or the "FactoryFactoryFactory" pattern.

It looks like the javascript world has forgotten about integration and instead decided to do the equivalent of assembling everything out of discrete transistors every time. The assembly process is automated, so it appears costless - until something goes wrong.

But really this is the fault of the closed source browser manufacturers, who prefer to attempt lockin over and over again through incompatible features rather than converge on common improvements.
