If you get an email about an interesting position from a headhunter that doesn't seem to be very knowledgable, you can often google parts of the job description and find the direct posting from the client. You don't have any agreement with the recruiter, so you're free to take whatever path to application that you choose.

It's the same thing with searching listings on Dice or wherever, especially if you see multiple organizations posting for the same job.

I simply don't see any value add to 99% of the recruiters out there. So many of them just keyword match and are unqualified to actually vet the candidates, and give the clients terrible lists. A company's own HR department can post the listings onto Dice or do LinkedIn searches just like the headhunters do, for FAR lower cost than going through an organization.

I have zero problem with bypassing the headhunters via a bit more web searching.

I never read the cover letters, nor the "objective" on a resume. I do invest a lot of time finding the right people to join our team, but in a resume, my choice to move you to a phone screen will never hinge on those details, and nothing in your resume matters much once we start actually talking.

I don't mean to detract from your overall assessment -- i think you've made good points.

Edit: My resume advice? Give me your work history with a few sentences for each one, and if you have a "skills summary" section, list only the skills that you've fully mastered. Include only the relevant jobs. This is a resume, not a CV, and it's only goal is to get you to the hiring manager who can make a decision to give you a phone screen.
The problem is that there is a limited number of people who have enough free time to spend the effort to refine a user experience.
I have more fun playing Civ 4 than Civ 5. I have not played Beyond Earth much but it doesn't feel like a true spiritual successor to Alpha Centauri, a much immersive game.

I think there has been a strong pressure to make Civ more appealing to casual audiences and this has somehow degraded the game to a more bland experience.
Clearly they added a bunch of new stuff that the JVM can't understand.

So it is either "Scala like LISP"

or

It is a superset of the Scala language. Meaning all existing stuff will work with it, but if you use new secret keywords it will work "better".

Which seems not quite ideal, because that means most Scala libraries will not be "tuned", and you will need all new libraries.. just like ScalaJS made you need entirely new Scala libraries that did not use reflection.

Worried the Scala ecosystem is turning into a nightmare ;)
So I have a normal user account at $7/month. Great, I now have unlimited private repos.

I use it because a handful of groups I find useful are there. I've tried to get one group to move to a saner alternative (where more than 3 posts are visible per page, for example) but the fact is, everyone's on facebook, and nobody wants to switch. Networks effects are real and annoying sometimes.

It's not the site. It's the CDC. I can guarantee Brazil considers the CDC an excellent source as well.

I'm reaffirming that the statement is incorrect and they should travel down to Brazil to understand this matter

If you think the CDC and the WHO are not in Brazil, you're mistaken. But let's pretend you're right that CDC doesn't know what they're talking about. How about the Ministério da Saúde?

Translation: Fever by Zika virus is described as an acute febrile illness, self-limited, lasting 3-7 days, usually without serious complications and there is no record of deaths. The hospitalization rate is potentially low.

Segundo a literatura, mais de 80% das pessoas infectadas não desenvolvem manifestações clínicas

Translation: According to the literature, over 80% of infected people do not develop clinical manifestations

This seems to back up very well ceejayoz's original comment, which you disagreed with: pointed out these diseases can often present as a mild cold, for which you'd never go to the hospital. You may well have gotten them without really noticing

So, presumably you don't think the Ministério da Saúde also have to travel to Brazil to know what they're talking about? There's also all kinds of information on portalsaude.saude.gov.br referencing the CDC, the WHO, and describing the fact that the CDC has been in Brazil for months conducting research and field investigations.
I have ideas for crazy things. Here are some:

Make a Wikipedia for code. Not a wikipedia about code, but a Wikipedia where the pages are the code. No references to outside tools/libraries, all the functions are either in the base language or references to other wikipedia-of-code pages. The pages are presented in a literate programming style.

Bring back the Inferno OS, but replace the original VM (Dis) with the Microsoft CLR.

Make a P2P publishing system for scientific publications. Let the contributing scientists have individual accounts, and manage reputations with a blockchain reputation system. Let people also donate their CPU cycles to scientific computations through this system. Require publications to store their data in a database format that your system's client can query and process with some programming language. Require all data tables, and results that appear in the publication's text be expressed as functions performed on data queried from the database (or potentially databases from other publications.)
Perhaps there should be some sort of bug bounty on all government (at least federal, ideally state, and in a perfect world local) sites? Would be awesome if, say, the US CTO spearheaded an effort to implement one.

> The wholesaler is required by law to meet or beat the NBBO --- the "exchange price".

Then again, this discussion is on a thread about the US DoJ investigating wholesalers for potentially breaking the law when it comes to what price the required to provide (though apparently a different requirement than the NBBO, specifically, the "best execution reasonably available".)

A legal requirement doesn't mean its going to happen in practice, it means that there is, at least in theory, a remedy available if it doesn't.

(Then again, not meeting or beating the NBBO seems a bit more obvious than not providing the best execution reasonably available, so I'd be somewhat more surprised if this wasn't happening simply because it would seem hard to get away with except in some extreme edge cases.)

The comparison table however demonstrates its bias accurately, with metrics like "pun in name".

I apologize- I thought volunteers were contributing to your private repos. If I understand correctly, your issue is that you have (say) 10 employees accessing private repos and 100 contributors to public/Free ones, but you're to be charged for all users you add to your org? I can see how this would be frustrating.

I see two possible solutions that don't force you to switch vendors:

1. Have non-employees fork & submit pull requests.
2. Split your private stuff off to a different org & formally separate free stuff from proprietary, make the free stuff community managed.

If these are problems, I'd maintain that this is a "have your cake and eat it to" problem, on the one hand keeping ownership & control of the project and reaping the attendant benefit to the edx brand, and on the other hand getting people to hack on your stuff for free. But in any event this is a broader existential issue that exists across the OSS world right now (see express.js), so I'm probably reading too much into your case. :)
I saw a job listed by a third-party recruiter that sounded interesting. Problem is they won't give me more information until I meet with them, which would take an hour+ train ride, missing work, and expense. This isn't even the hiring company just some random job board like recruiting company. I tried googling around for the company itself, but don't have enough to go on.
Anyone run into this?
> So Fastly is offloading the full routing table to their carriers' router(s).

The carriers' routers will have full routing tables in any case, so Fastly is not really offloading anything. They just aren't downloading full routes to a big central router and doing routing decisions there, but rather at a host level.

> I feel (I don't have direct experience with this setup) like they're just offloading some compute power (therefore cost) to the hosts.

This appears to be the case. The routing part isn't very computationally expensive, the biggest problem at larger bitrates is moving the packets with software. But then again they are already limited by what their CDN nodes can push out, so the routing isn't really much more of a burden.

Incidental? It's pretty well known that Scala was heavily influenced by Haskell. In particular, do notation (for comprehensions), pattern matching, lots of standard lib classes (ex Maybe (Option)), many of the methods in the collections library (map, fold, take, etc)

Anyway, I wasn't trying to disparage either of them (or this project). Just poking fun at the seemingly common "I want to use Haskell but I'm forced to deploy on the JVM" use case for Scala.
Does it matter much whether one replaces "Haskell" with "ML" in the parent post?

Or shoving it behind something else on a shelf and not paying at all. When people no longer have any respect for authority, social contract or citizenship AND you can't crack them over the head to teach a lesson in hard knocks, how are loss prevention supposed to deal with it? You let it go, then it's suddenly a widespread thing (YES IT WILL BE) and it costs everyone. And frankly it never ends. Certain people will go so low at the expense of others, it makes for an unworkable culture.
Honestly, you got a point.

> It seems like a vast time sink with almost no value that isn't better derived elsewhere.

This is not true for all people. Many people use Facebook as a tool for groups, events, etc. Have you been using Google or Yahoo Groups lastly? Facebook has less friction once you are there. This is not a Facebook defence just a reminder to "us" here in HN who use the Internet in another way and with a lot of expertise. Other people don't care if they are in FB, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc they just want a place to share their thoughts insighful or trivial.

Just an anecdote: once I signed up in Facebook zillion of Internet years ago I subscribed to the OpenBSD and C++ groups there. Obviously nobody posted until a few years ago when I started to receive updates. Obviously you will never search for an OpenBSD or C++ solution there but was an interesting social media change. Nowadays I find local groups like Data Science group in Argentina representing well the local scene.
It kind of reminds me of the "I don't own a TV" person from the 90's - i.e. whenever a group starts a discussion about their favorite TV show, that person let's it be known how much better their life is without TV.

In March of 2008, Eriksson was re-arrested in Sweden — only a year after being deported from the US after pleading no contest to charges of embezzlement and illegal gun possession. After trial in Sweden, on July 10, 2009, Eriksson was convicted of extortion, theft and assault, and was sentenced to 18 months in a maximum-security prison. Yet this sentence was for a completely unrelated crime — all involved in the Gizmondo collapse escaped legally clean and free from a debacle that destroyed a multination corporation, and fleeced hundreds of millions of dollars from investors.

If these guys -- known mobsters dressed up as technology businessmen, living the most conspicuous lifestyle imaginable -- can get away with all this, what other kind of corruption and crime is going on in investment-fuelled industries?

No-one denies Scala is a fine language, but I don't think that's a narrow view of it.

It's actually a pretty good question. A lot of Scala's design is full of compromises made for Java inter-op. A huge motivation for using Scala is "I want a modern language which allows me to use all these existing Java libraries and tools". If you remove the ecosystem and the inter-op, what is there left for Scala? Why not use a better language?
It's cool there's some open source here, but people should probably bear in mind Nest's significant troubles of late. It's not a company I expect to see much longer in the future, as even Googlers internally have expressed on Memegen a desire for Google to offload it.

I agree, and if you can come up with a way to get paid for this indirectly, like perhaps with Amazon referral links or something, even better. That way you're creating value for someone else, they don't have to pay for that value, and you might get enough to pay for server/hosting costs.
So you are for open borders then?

In reality, this actually has very little to do with Facebook and has a ton to do with mobile. Even if Facebook didn't exist, I have little doubt that media companies would be seeing falling recirculation—it's intrinsic to the platform.

I agree as well. I'm trying to figure out what this format adds to the startup vetting process. It's almost like a weird social media version of Shark Tank with a behind-closed-doors pre-selection process. I feel like what YCF really needs a competition for is the best idea for finding and vetting YCF participants.

In the normal, pragmatic way: wait until you actually see them put the opened drink behind something else on the shelf. Which, not all the time but often enough, you surely will. If they're drinking it out in the open -- in the line at the register, say? Most likely they're going to pay for it.

Certain people will go so low at the expense of others, it makes for an unworkable culture.

By the same token, treating people as if they're already "low" (by not giving them the benefit of the doubt for an opening a $0.98 bottle of iced tea before paying) makes for an unworkable culture, also.
