There's nothing as scary as being woken up by an earthquake in the middle of the night, and it feels and sounds like the apocalypse is happening.

Daytime earthquakes aren't too bad, they're actually really cool if you're in the wilderness, you can see and hear it coming towards you.
Tips from the Pragmatic Programmer (2000)
> The IOC gets the money because they bring the value to the table

What value is that to me, exactly? I watch the Olympics and willingly tolerate the ads to see the Olympians, not to watch the IOC. The only stand-alone revenue generating value in this equation is the athletes' performances, that is the main attraction. The IOC organizes and captures that value, some of it for it's own benefit, but what value do they bring to the table?

> Sure this level of performance is amazing, it's just not valuable.

If it had no value, why do you think it is included in the Olympics at all? You seem to suggest that because you don't like javelin, then nobody should. You're confusing less popular with zero attraction, and the logical conclusion to that is the the Olympics should consist of exactly one sport and no more. But, obviously there are lots of Olympic sports, and all but one of them are less popular than something else. The fact of the matter is that every single one of them is valuable as an Olympic sport, every single one of them generates value and has sponsors and has competitors who train to be the best in that sport every single day.
I love how your solution includes another "can you just", but I can't tell whether that was an intentional joke or not.
Lock-in on old tech has been the main worry for me in terms of installing panels on my home. An upgrade option would be a done deal for me, especially since its Tesla.

Facebook is a massive MySQL user so you wouldn't be a Facebook investor as well?
A lot of the time you can't define exactly why you can't do something though. If someone asked me to just write a natural language recognition app, I'd be quite excited to give it a go, but instinctively I know it's a heck of a task. It's infeasible rather than impossible.

A bit like asking a golfer why he doesn't just hit the ball straight on the green every drive. It's instinct to attempt, but difficult to explain why it's not going to work. Not to mention if I had to explain every time why I can't just hit the green, I'd get pretty pissed off with people asking!

I think it fits well if you expect most projects to be a single engineer working full-time. An equivalent of up to €60k/yr full-time is a pretty good salary by most folks standards, even if it's not quite up there with top-tier engineering levels. (I'd probably suggest the funding was getting poor value-for-money if it was)

He was a very, very warm person that clearly loved children. I remember him juggling oranges (or balls?).

I wanted to work with Papert and implemented LOGO with graphics on the university's computers when I was 16 using an instruction manual from Bolt, Beranek and Newman (now BBN Tech). I still remember showing it to him.

>Yes, it's crazy.

I agree. There is an english idiom, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." I assume this includes government keys as well. This seems like a juicy target for hackers. The damage it could do to Russia is almost unimaginable.
> There are lots of professionals in other Olympic sports.

So then there is absolutely no point in watching. Well, not until they start the doping league. (Should we debate whether the current one is?)
Jet.com | https://jet.com/ | Hoboken (very close to NYC) | Dublin | Full-time | Onsite

----------

(From our careers page)

We need super smart engineers from all levels to help us build one of the best engineered e-commerce platform in the world (big talk we know, but that is our goal!). Our engineers combine creativity, curiosity, and drive to continuously perfect and revolutionize Jet from the inside out. We are looking to bring more intellectually curious engineers who are passionate about technology in general (Jet is a technology first company and prides itself on its culture of learning and knowledge sharing and we want all our engineers to be as passionate as we are!)

Our platform is largely an event driven platform implemented via a microservice architecture. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure and uses a large number of technologies and middle ware. The bulk of backend code is written in a functional style (F#) and our system of record is an event sourced system (essentially a log of all actions on the platform). We use a mix of Kafka, Redis, Elastic Search, Azure SQL, Event Store and Azure Storage for our data stores. About 50% of the platform runs on Linux and the rest Windows (although we move into more containerization we will see a shift towards Linux).

----------

I've been working at Jet since mid-February, and I can honestly say this is the best job I've ever had. It personally checks off every single box I could have a for a dream job:

- Insanely fast-growing startup. We're the fastest startup to reach a billion dollar valuation, for whatever that's worth.

- Functional programming in F#. Never been more productive coding.

- Tech talks and workshops all the time. I'm learning more than I ever have.

- Transparent compensation structure. You can't see everyone's salary per se, but we have a comp table where you can look up what the salary is for a given position.

- Extremely competent management. It feels like they really care about employees' happiness here, we've got experienced people at the helm, and it is amazing to see what a company can look like when you have a fantastic management team bringing their A-game. Really, it's incredible to have to try hard to find something to complain about.

- All the trappings of modern startup life. Free gym membership, lots of free food, etc.

We're hiring people of all different types of experience for all different types of roles. More information about specific roles can be found here: https://jet.com/careers/. You can apply on the individual role pages.

If you have any questions (commuting from NYC, about Hoboken, what's going on in the company, anything really), feel free to ask here or send a message to "nat" at the domain that I work on.

Here's a suggestion, for you and everyone suggesting you don't vote: Get over it.

(Content intended for voters in a US-style FPTP system. Mileage in IRV and other systems may vary.)

No one will see your vote. The structure of elections is not such that you can state your ideals. The question is about your preference for the actual outcome of the contest.

In programming terms, you're not being asked to return the largest integer; you're given a choice of two integers, and asked to return the larger. It doesn't matter if neither one looks objectively "large"-- refusing to return anything will not help this algorithm generate larger numbers.

Maybe it's a stupid algorithm, but that's not relevant, either.

To stay HN-neutral I'll leave this generic, though it really isn't: Regardless of your feelings about the candidates in this election in an objective sense, you should have a strong dispreference for one candidate under the other. In a proper decision theory, that should translate into a strong relative preference for the other candidate to be the actual winner of the contest.

That doesn't mean you support them absolutely, or morally. It just means you're voting in line with rather than against your true preference for outcome.

And that should translate into strong support in the voting booth, though of course that doesn't and shouldn't have to translate into strong support in public opinion.

If you don't vote for the candidate you strongly relatively prefer because your absolute preference for them is low -- you don't want to send a message that "this candidate is objectively good" -- you are using a different protocol than the election, and what will be received is "the relative preference for this candidate is fairly low". What you should expect is for the election to perceive that you support your dispreferred candidate significantly more than you actually do.

And that's what should make you sick.
Tulip | https://tulip.co/careers.html | Boston, MA | Full time, interns | Onsite

Do you want to help realize the next industrial revolution?

Tulip is transforming manufacturing processes by bringing the latest technological advances from the lab to the shop floor. We have multiple Fortune 500 customers and are already enabling production lines building the things you interact with everyday.

Whereas most factories are still using state of the art technology from the mid 20th century, we come from the future to bring them a rich, realtime web app, modern tablets, IoT systems, in-depth analytics, and more. Our products are already (measurably!) helping our customers, so we're rapidly expanding our number of customers and size of deployments.

We're looking for software engineers to join our core team to work on data engineering, technical operations, and computer vision.

Data Engineering: We're looking for a software engineer who's excited about designing and building a scalable, flexible analytics pipline for the data we collect. While you'll spend most of your time on the backend, you should be comfortable working on our entire data stack, from databases, to backend APIs, to customer-facing frontend analytics tools.

Technical Operations / DevOps / SRE: You might or might not have experience with technical operations, but you're excited about applying your software engineering skills to solve our complex operational problems. You're comfortable diving into complex codebases and large distributed systems, and equally excited about applying the same technical principles you'd use to build these system to take them to production.

Computer Vision: We're looking for a computer vision "research-ineer" with demonstrable experience in algorithm development and productization of in-the-wild vision solutions. Working knowledge of computation and optimization, algebras, statistics, machine learning is required. Experience in the following environments is highly recommended: C++11, Boost, OpenCV, OpenCL/CUDA, DNN/CNN.

I disagree. Oftentimes people who are actively working on a problem cannot see the forest for the trees and an outsider's perspective will lead to a substantially simpler solution.
I understand where you are coming from but usually a naive and simple 'just', especially coming from an outsider can be exactly what you need. Maybe you are so entangled in the problem that you've lost the proverbial forest.

The electoral college is defined in the Constitution, and changing that is never easy. Anybody with the power to change things from the top is probably up there because of taking advantage of the way things currently work.
I most of the reason is that in a lot of countries, you don't get as much choice in who leads the country. The prime ministerial candidate isn't chosen by a primary, and the PM can be deposed by parliament without much trouble (as we've seen with Australia).

In New Zealand, you're considered a bit of a loon if you're a card holding party member. I think that a lot more of the population is flexible in who they vote for as well. An MP told me once that 1/3 of voters are independent.
