Ask HN: Can an ideal resume be 1 page for normal people?
I just happened to see Elon Musk's resume at http://www.businessinsider.com/elons-musk-resume-all-on-one-page-2016-4. Its seems more like a marketing gimmick for NovoResume or a PR stunt for Elon Musk & all of his companies. Can a normal person who is famous get by with a resume with one page? I am a software developer and I have been struggling to limit my resume to 2 pages, I give my linkedin id in case they want the details.

I am curious to get responds from recruiters or people who have to look at a ton of resumes as a part of their job.
Facebook ‘glitch’ that deleted the Castile shooting video: It was the police
Really sorry about deleting! Discovered a bug that was critical, and needed to fix that before getting too much peopole in.

Note: Also, for some reason, I managed to post the wrong url. Can somebody please fix this, and delete this note? The url should of course be https://pac.chat
My dad has a second processor in his loft, along with every other BBC (but not the Master Compact) and Acorns after that, plus no Electron (who would have one of them??)

Yep. There's always some events that restore faith in humanity and make you go "wow, I'll remember that/them, full respect/kudos".

Evidence B: His defence of the Y Combinator-funded startup that was paying companies to bundle unwanted software into their installers and tricking users into installing it.
I'm arguing with the post that I replied to.

This person wrote:

>There seems to be this bravado among founders who believe they're sticking it to all the people who say something's amiss

which is a completely unfair generalization and hurts all founders, of all companies.

You raise irrelevant points. But to answer you, yes, there was a time in the past when taxi drivers would have argued that Uber is a scam, yes. I did a date-range Google search, and look at this:

http://observer.com/2012/10/uber-lawsuit-chicago-taxi-limous...

"Uber Sued for Consumer Fraud and Unlawful Practices by Chicago Taxi and Limo Companies". (2012)

Consumer fraud means scam.

So, please, jacalata, I would like you to say:

-> "All right, Taxi cab companies did accuse Uber of being a scam, i.e. of consumer fraud, in 2012. The only difference between this an Theranos is that Uber was real and Theranos is not real."

I want to hear you say this, because of the part of the comment that I quoted, stating "There seems to be this bravado among founders who believe they're sticking it to all the people who say something's amiss".

I'd love for you to agree that that signal or litmus test is irrelevant, and the only thing that matters is whether it's actually a scam.

Theranos was actually a scam - it didn't really do what it claimed at all, for which it is under criminal (criminal!) investigation. It has nothing, zip, zero, zilch, to do with Silicon Valley or founders, or bravado, or what the industry insiders were saying.

LZ4 is a format. All you can say about how energy efficient a format is, is by looking at the average speeds of its implementations. However, zlib for instance (a DEFLATE library) is more energy efficient than zopfli (another DEFLATE library), just by virtue of taking less CPU cycles to crunch data.

There is in fact a very high correlation between CPU cycles and energy efficiency, since compression algorithms don't sit idle and use roughly the same instructions. In fact, Yann Collet's Zstd uses the same principles as LZFSE, as both were sprouted from Jarek Duda's research: http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.2540.

The reference LZ4 implementation is absolutely more energy efficient than LZFSE, and in fact Apple does push for its use by offering it in its compression library. However, it tends not to compress as well as both LZFSE and Zstd. For 4G or WiFi (or even broadband), the time lost by transferring more data is not compensated by the time won by decompressing it faster, resulting in much slower downloads than even zlib. LZ4 is still relevant for higher speeds, such as those offered by magnetic hard drives. (Beyond a certain speed, such as for SSDs, compression no longer offers a benefit, but you might be ok with the slowdown given that you win drive space.)

There is a separate discussion to be had about the fact that the open-sourced LZFSE reference implementation is not the one they use (which explains how little they touched it since), as it does not even have ARM-specific code. Also, LZFSE does not claim to be patent-unencumbered. LZ4 and Zstd do have optimized code for ARM.

All in all, it is not a stretch to assume that Apple benefits from this FUD, which explains why there is no comparative benchmark anywhere to be found on their GitHub or in their documentation. It really looks like Zstd is better all around.

Shameless plug: I wrote a Tcl/Tk spreadsheet inspired by that JavaScript one that others have since trimmed down to 29 lines: https://tcl.wiki/41294. (HN discussion of the initial version: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9275268. Note the K spreadsheet in the comments.)

I am rather a fan of both Tcl's and Rebol's GUI DSL.

Edit: I'll explain how the Tcl/Tk spreadsheet works. I am not sure I understood Red's reactive framework quite enough to compare and contrast the two implementations correctly, so if you do understand it, I would love to read your comparison.

The spreadsheet cells are ::ttk::entry widgets comparable to <input type="text"> that are created in a loop and laid out using the built-in [grid] geometry manager. When a cell is created its value is bound to a variable like "A2" by two-way data binding. We then add a "trace" to that variable so that when it is read the command [recalc] runs to update its value based on the formula for the cell before the read completes. This triggers update cascades that resolve chains of dependencies between the cells' formulas. The formulas are plain Tcl expressions mangled by a regexp to allow you to reference the values of variables like "A2" without the "$" prefex.
I think it seriously increases your chances of getting funded with a new project later on.

On the other hand, if you're scamming consumers of course it is only a very small step to scam investors (and easier to get away with).
How outsourcing finance and accounting services can drive profitability
Not really that strange. Famous painters (at least rembrandt) were walt disneys of their time. they had workshops with lots of assistants who did the gruntwork and they assisted, oversaw and signed the works. So, one could argue this is in the same tradition - the artist recognizes that the works follow his methods and are so well executed that he will gladly sign them.

There really is no difference in cartoons and traditional art in the sense that both are essentially works of formulaic conception. Cartoons make the formula simple and explicit, whereas in traditional painting the formulas are a bit more complex.

Tell HN: You guys are beating back the crap
In the last 24 hours, I've seen at least two ridiculous threads of speech get killed faster than I can even rant about it. I think you've got this now. The bullshit isn't taking hold like I thought. I'm starting to really want to rep HN again, and join in. I doubt this is necessary to say, but I'm stoked.
I disagree, if you can become comfortable with imperfection in your work you'll derive more satisfaction from the process of creation -- or at least that has been my experience. It requires a concerted and conscious effort but pays dividends both in terms of quality of work (eventually) and peace of mind.
Thinking back over my experience:

Tablet, wifi only, no phone.

Very few social aps, and reducing those.

Ditto messaging.

Google's crap is installed and cannot be removed, though some apps can be disabled.

I'm routinely queried by websites whether I'll allow location data. No, I won't. That's disabled at device level, and I should never be queried for that. Ever.

Somehow, Google Hangouts got itself convinced I was logged in. I'm not. Got some random connects. Backed out and blocked the shit out of as much of that as possible.

Google Maps pestered me for location information every fucking time. No, that's not how I used this app, and I'm not going to provide it. Finally uninstalled/disabled the app.

YouTube running pre-roll ads. Finally disabled that.

Google Play Store wanted to give me games. I walked through disabling and ripping out as much of that as I could. I think some of it's been walked back.

Google Chrome browser: autoplay video, audio, popover crap, and no adblock. I'm about ready to uninstall / block it.

Various other nags, including "application optimisation" from Android itself. Really, just fucking figure out how to fucking optimise yourself and leave me the fuck out of it.

I use this device for research, some writing, and some online posting. That's pretty much it. It still bugs the fucking crap out of me and is shit for what it does.

I'm relatively convinced this is the last full-on Android device I'll buy. It's been semi-useful, but frustrating as fuck, a privacy nightmare, the tablet itself is locked down pretty hard, and the keyboard-case from Logitech was defective from purchase and now Logitech are refusing to replace it with same -- I'd need a case, stand, and keyboard to replace it, they're offering at best a keyboard. Lawsuit and consumer complaint time.

Pretty much a clusterfuck all around.
To be fair, that is how innovation occurs. There are many examples of "ridiculous" ideas that ended being wildly successful. Where would Elon Musk be if he listened to all of the incumbents who said that his ideas would never work? Obviously, the putative innovators massively failed in this case, but I don't think that the outcome proves that their original idea was fatally flawed, or at least that it wasn't worth attempting.
Are RISCV devices actually available at all?

I'm not too worried about backdoors in microcontrollers, they're too small to hide much.

Are the designs of this chip at least available, and audit-able

I'm not aware of any processors you can buy from current production that meet this criterion (because it would involve complete exposure of that company's IP). I suppose the fully reverse-engineered 6502 meets it.
One sees the the same thing in nuclear fusion. All these companies popping up that aren't bothering to consult experts and will have to learn lessons the hard way.

Nor do they have anything other than the sister's word that he painted landscapes.

The prisons former art teacher also claims to recognize Doige (with an E) as a former student and claims to remember him painting a painting at least very similar to the one in question. The owner of the painting also claims that the person he bought the painting off of joined the Seafarers International Union shortly after he bought the painting off of him and the Seafarers have a record of a Peter Doige during that time, but not a Peter Doig.

The relative heat capacity of the air and the content is irrelevant. The thermal mass of the content is irrelevant as well since it's the same for a chest fridge and an upright fridge.

The relevant comparison is how much heat escapes through the walls of the fridge relative to the heat loss via escaping air. Since fridge insulation has improved massively in the last decade that might actually be a significant share. The paper also mentions that an imperfect seal (due to imperfect closing or plain wear) on a vertical door leads to a constant trickle loss, while it does have much less of an effect on a chest freezer.
You are still assuming everything that is recorded to be "like Bob" is the truth and captures reality clearly.

Moreover you need to give loans to everybody in order to check the accuracy of the algorithm. You can't just check a non random subset and expect to get non biased results.
What would happen if trades were discontinuous? Like, place orders and they're processed once every hour? If some issues are worth x$ to your eyes, the company doesn't actually get or lose value by the minute, it's just that the public isn't aware of corporate facts yet, and as information becomes complete on the traders' side that they decide that issues are worth a bit less or a bit more for them. So if we traded only once per hour, wouldn't the stock exchange provide the same value to the economy, while leaning off a good part of the finance industry who rides on minute-to-microsecond trends?
He said that amongst those who got hooked early by computing, the non-gamers were superior at non-gaming tasks. Hardly surprising, given the lack of truly successful regex-ninja games.
Yes, absolute assumptions about identity fail badly, as you correctly point out. My point is different: for most people the combo of phone number/IMEI and the phone as physical token is the de-facto electronically addressable social identity. All major social networks are based on this empirically observable fact.

Those for whom phone/phone number/IMEI is not enough might encounter problems with the current state of social networking.
As one of those talent, I have to respectfully disagree. First of all, R/W to the database was solved pretty early on. We had queues many years ago for the writes and tons of read slaves for the reads. Also, the servers that serve comments and listings were not the same ones that took in votes and comments. It was most definitely a "throw servers at it" problem, with a few bottlenecks on caching that were solved as they came up.

The biggest issue was that we didn't have the budget (both money and manpower) to deal with scaling a global transaction system, which is just plain hard. Reddit gets almost as much traffic as eBay, but eBay has thousands of engineers and Reddit doesn't even have 100.

Back when I was there, the site worked well enough, there were only a few of us, and we spent about 50% of our time on spam and about 25% on community management. That didn't leave much time for scaling and performance. For context, we were serving a billion pages a month on a budget of $50K/mo.

Today they are making great progress in scalability because they finally have the budget to hire the people to make it great.

1. Why do you think deleting and creating a new account helps? The data isn't account-bound, it's aggregate.

2. Do you realize there's an option in the account settings to disable it? Deleting your account only serves to reset that option.

3. If you're against reddit's behaviour, why do you continue using the site?

It's funny, your post feels pretty representative of what I've come to realize is "privacy extremism". In the name of privacy, refusing to tolerate or even understand what websites, companies etc are doing. It's counterproductive to your own cause. I mean, even if you thought you were doing yourself a favour deleting your own accounts, you're a fool if you think it's not possible to associate your old accounts to your new ones.

I can't go out and buy stock and sue the company if it doesn't give me a 250,000:1 return on investment.

No, but if you bought stock in a tiny startup that later increase 250,000:1 you can sue the company if they claim that the stock you claim to own isn't valid any more. That was basically half the plot of that Facebook movie they made.
Are they toxic if they are the primary reason the website exists?

Reddit was successful in the early days due to the quality of the comments of its userbase. It got diluted after the user base expanded.

However, qualifying it as toxic only means that if you were head of Reddit, you would probably run it into the ground like Digg.

Well, yes and no, my experience tells me it all depends on the level of control of your body that you have, and training for a particular task.

Learning to ollie is a typical example of that: there are movements that you have to consciously apply, yet the best way to ollie is to not think about it and just do a ollie, as each movement isolated doesn't mean much and it's only when the whole thing connects together that it works [0]. As Rodney Mullen says [1], you can only be conscious about sub-movements that really don't exist by themselves (only as part of a larger move) and connect together to form (and possibly create) a movement or a trick. It's really hard to describe, because mostly you don't really think about it, you just feel it, but at the same time it's a conscious action on your part, kinda like meditation or doing a kata.

Sometimes company leaders have severe problems with ethics. As mentioned in other comments, even YC has had companies that have bundled adware/malware with software, practiced dark patterns, hidden news of security breaches, etc.

I tend to see YC as being more "evolved" than other VC's, but I also think that these problems are more ingrained into the human condition.

YC could consider making funding contingent on all high level company officers attend or participate in some kind of ethics course. It could even be remote.

There could also be penalties built into VC agreements. If a company violates contracted ethical rules, then penalties could include replacement of staff, more shares being given to the VC, low share buyback prices for the VC, etc.

It could also be a two-way street. If YC violates some kind of ethical rule, then they could be punished by having to do something for the companies they represent.

Ethics are important but so far they have just been "best practices" in our industry and not something contracted and enforced.
That's not at all what I said. My claim is that innovation often involves ignoring all of the incumbents who say that a new way will never work. Obviously you shouldn't inflate the results of your attempt.

It seems it's communicated with a "black life matters" background. Isn't there a general problem of the police being overly brutal and using its authority in a malevolent way in USA, whether augmented by racism or not?

I live in France, where we've just had terrorist attacks, and I'm afraid we'll meet the same pattern, 15 years later than USA:

- People want the police to do its job (securing the streets, which goes from checking car insurances to being detectives on terrorism),

- So they vote for more police,

- The police doesn't do much more than assaulting easy targets, picking up girls who come to lodge a charge (true story), and walk on cyclist lanes (not much traffic enforcement because it's unpopular and not much detective work because it's risky),

- So people vote even more right-wing,

- Police has more powers, but still doesn't do its job much, and assaults even more weak people,

- Then we get people who kill police (like in Dallas) or burn police cars (like in Paris) because they're abusing their power.

Already, President Hollande made the same talk and took the same path on 13th Nov 2015 as Bush on 11th Sept 2001, so I'm a little afraid there's a trend were.

Now what societal changes could happen that would disrupt a race to the bottom of police brutality, like in USA?
