Microsoft is hiring, we've got a lot of openings world wide.

https://careers.microsoft.com/

I have worked here for 8+ years now and I have to say its a really amazing company to work for. If you don't know about Microsoft culture, we've got a ton of smart people and the atmosphere supports people through the good and bad times in their life, while enabling them to be successful.

The only thing worth noting is that most of the jobs at Microsoft when it comes to "build products" tends to be in Redmond, WA. We do have dev centers in other places like our ALM group in NC, or Xamarin mobile team in Boston, but again I just mean "majority" not all when I say "Redmond" :).
The patronizing correction isn't needed given they had it right the first time. The second time was likely an uncaught typo.

>in other words, sort like the "no true scotsman" fallacy).

Further, you don't seem interested in any form of conversation. I can't say you're posting in good faith - but rather have already made your mind certain of something with no intentions of discussing it. Calling others names and taking the moral high ground, even when that moral high ground has little to no basis in reality and you've been given evidence otherwise.
I did a quick search through the comments on here that the OP (@mrcabada) has made. While this sort of snooping is rarely pleasant for the party being snooped, I hope this is helpful.

Mr. Cabada,

I believe the most impactful thing you can do is to stop blaming others and to start putting all of your energy into improving yourself.

Based on your writing, your site, and your LinkedIn, you are already doing a lot of improving yourself -- but you're also putting a lot of energy into blaming the rest of the world.

(1) An entire article that basically says "I'm awesome but the world isn't favoring me. Halp!"
(2) comment: "I'm mexican, it's hard..."
(3) comment: "fixed", a few times over, with no recognition of mistake and no thanks for pointing out the issue <-- granted, that could just be efficiency
(4) one single "my bad", buried in an early comment thread.

Life is hard. Privilege is a real thing that we should systematically correct with each generation.

That said, you're wasting brain cycles (yours and ours) when you blame others. It's just not a very efficient activity and it does very little to improve you. If anything, it can shift your attitude the wrong way for the long haul.

Listen to feedback -- beg for feedback. Begging for feedback is not saying "fixed" -- it's rewarding the behavior of someone giving you feedback (i.e. Thanks! this is helpful). Don't get defensive. Internalize it. Be smart enough to filter out what feedback is good and what's just fluff. Learn your faults. Fix your faults. Learn your strengths. Better your strengths.

Good luck! (jk, it's more in control than you think. luck will have very little do with it. Attitude will have everything to do with it)
A managed RethinkDB/Horizon is exactly what AWS needs to compete with Firebase... AWS's closest realtime is what, IoT's MQTT?
"It's really unfortunate that so many people aren't interested in learning Ember."

Is that the sentence? I dunno. I looked at the stats for the first version of Angular and it had a low rate of "heard of it, not interested" and a high rate of "used it, will never use it again" with Ember being the reverse of that. I was just like "awh man, what a pity" because I have really been enjoying my short time with the framework.

"...to hack things together quickly..." That wasn't really what I was getting at. There is a lot of negative connotation around the word "hack." I want something that is easy to setup quickly as well as easy to reason about. With jQuery, I can just point to a CDN and get going. As far as the concept, I can easily understand that I'm just selecting and changing an element of the DOM.

Now, I recognize that jQuery gets super messy and has a lot of inherent limits but the spirit of the approach is something that I admire. Ember, like many front end frameworks, brings organization, conventions for testing, etc... but the concepts are a bit easier for me to grok than some of its competitors and there exists some tooling that removes a barrier to entry for me. That's just my anecdotal experience and others mileage may vary.

"For people that do frontend/JavaScript full time..." Yeah, I dunno. I'm just someone who does front end work for open source projects and when I think it has its role within my regular duties as someone who does more operations work. That being said, I think there are a lot of people out there like me. People who just want to show up at a hackathon and get moving quickly because they have that back end experience but are unsure of themselves when it comes to front end development.
I find it interesting that the few comments o here seem to be more about the money spent than in the goals and objectives of the program.

When next you see a report of a terrorist video, did it really come from them or from your favorite govt agency?
What I'm disputing is this:

Machine learning does not have less bias than human researchers. It is simply magnified at scale.

This is fundamentally wrong. Given data on the biasing factor, most algorithms will try to use it and improve things. Sometimes information is unavailable. On net there is a reason why many algorithms will reduce bias, and no particular reason why they would increase it equally in the remaining cases.

Ha!even this sounds like a mistake to me. How about "Make the simplest thing work for one person.". Make sure they get some value, and then iterate and repeat. Once you've clearly solved the problem at hand then start to scale, optimise etc That is of course all after you've presold the solution.

I know it's not always easy to do this, but that really is part of the challenge. There's still too many deathmarch projects lead by people trying to do things 'the right way'. If you're working on a new project for the love of science, please make sure you're releasing something valuable every single week if not every one or two days!
I've had marketplace on my phone for the past few months. I guess New Zealand was the test market for it.

Personally, I don't use it. Facebook provides no protection for either buyer or seller, which is something that Ebay (or Trademe [0] in the case of NZ) offer. I'm constantly seeing people on the local buy/sell/exchange groups complaining about buying stolen phones, or people failing to send items, or various other things.

It's not difficult to make a fake account. Although it does say how long the person has been a Facebook member on the listings.

I just looked on my phone, and the first thing I see for sale is synthetic marijuana. This doesn't bode well.

The user experience is pretty poor too. For a test, I wanted to see if I could find a couch. The closest I could filter to was Furniture. I then searched for Couch, which then removed the filter, so I added the filter back on. Instead of seeing a bunch of couches, half the things for sale were tables and beds.

I'm not a fan of the image-only listings either. I'd prefer to see a title with an image when searching. A price would be useful too. Instead I get a bunch of crappy cellphone pictures of peoples old shit.

Then there's the issue for me that you aren't allowed to buy and sell firearms through Facebook, despite the fact that it's perfectly legal in New Zealand, and Trademe allows you to do it.

I can say that I will stick to using Trademe.

In a big company, the amount matters even less. 140k? 150k? 180k? Nobody cares, it's a number on a spreadsheet.
>Well you should; it's wasteful not to.

Not if it's putting you over your daily caloric limit. The damage being overweight does to you (and society from healthcare burden) in the long term is much worse than just throwing the food away.
So don't donate that, either.

I recall a quote some years back, from a veteran police officer. I think it was in Chicago, but I'm not sure. To paraphrase, he said that people didn't realize that the police were the biggest and most organized gang.

Certainly, a lot of their behavior appears to bear this observation out.

P.S. Like other areas where we have problems, policing needs to be transparent, accountable (including and especially fully audit-able), and proportional.

Arising from the community, and not imposed upon them. If you can't make this happen, you've already failed.
Rapid7 | Dublin, Ireland / Cambridge, MA / Toronto, Canada | Software Engineer | Full-Time - ONSITE

Rapid7 is probably known best as the company behind metasploit. While Rapid7 is a security company you will not have to be a security expert to work with us. See https://www.rapid7.com/company/jobs.jsp for the complete list of job openings.

The Dublin Positions are for Logentries, a Log Management solution and we are currently looking for Lead UX Designer, Senior Software Engineer - Architecture, Senior Software Engineer Frontend as well as a Software Engineer I.

For Toronto we are looking for a Software Engineer, Platform Delivery aka devops. In this role you would be working with both on-prem and SaaS software and enable the local team to introduce patterns how to utilize the cloud and allow people to move fast by giving them power.
Humans are beastly, violent primates with marginal cognitive advantages over our cousins. Empathy is learned. I don't know if a 12 year old is more likely to kill than a 30 year old, but the former certainly has had much less social normalization toward empathy than the older one, other things being equal.

Also kids are easily guided to do just about anything. They're easily impressed and even the brightest lack the experience to temper their judgement of what is a good idea versus what isn't.
This is only during the testing phase.
Wow it's blinking like crazy on my Android phone using Chrome. Impossible to use. It looks neat on a computer though.
You can say that a neighborhood has more shootings/murders than other neighborhoods. What I'm talking about is the phenomenon of thinking of that neighborhood just in terms of those incidents, because that's all you ever hear about them. You aren't there for the 99.9% of the time when things are mundane.
Why would it be bad practice?
For me personally it will mean way harder to launch new products on Amazon, i.e. to get that initial visibility. This is since their search algo is based on sales of product and reviews of the product, so any new product will be lost in their search results.

(Vine they mentioned is invite only program for large corporate sellers)
It's very silly that they didn't include a desktop experience or at LEAST an explanation that you can only use it on your phone.
> Given data on the biasing factor, most algorithms will try to use it and improve things.

Unless the bias is in what they are designed to optimize for (either because the goal is explicitly biased or because the operationalization of the goal into a concrete measure is, whether intentionally or not, biased), in which case they will obviously reinforce it.
A lot of people are telling you what you should do. Heck, you even asked what you should do. The truth that I too struggle to grapple with is that a lot of your push forward has to be internal and not based on what others say. There are up days and down days and you can have a host of sources to blame for down days, sure. We all do. But sometimes you have to just get up and start again.

I agree with aasarava's comment regarding entrepreneurship, but something that hasn't been mentioned here is that even if you make something people are "willing to pay for", who's to say someone else isn't making it better than you? Or earlier than you? There is no deterministic formula, everything has a degree of chance and doing what HN comments and their reading recommendations say only sharpen that chance. You do need to take their input, but failure is inevitable. Naysayers and their discouragement are inevitable. Bad shit is inevitable.

So you will face bad days, but finally, you have to make the decision to go forward. Or, you have to make the decision to change course. This is the answer to your main question, you have to keep yourself motivated, even if nobody supports you. You should decide deep down whether something is worth suffering for or not, but that decision has to be internal, as your motivations have to be. I'm not saying you should be completely delusional and deny feedback from reality, but even if you are doing the right things, you will fail and you have to hold yourself up through that.

That's how "success" works. You keep trying through failure and eventually, you'll monte-carlo onto the right spot.

What does that mean? I don't see how a price 'should' be anything.

I assumed they meant something like websockets or server sent events when I took the survey.

Same here using Chrome 53.0.2785.116. Dev tools is seeing it as a certificate error:
There are issues with the site's certificate chain (net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID).
All the more reason to have a good user experience. How likely am I to work with an agency that can't even show me their work in a functional way? Scroll is broken, navigations are broken, weird looping behavior. It feels like an old Dreamweaver site.
> It would appear to be $500+ million wasted, fairly typically, by the Pentagon brass.

The DoD was chewing through an average of $1 billion a day for about 2 years during the height of the Iraq war. It would be a stretch to say that it was all used to the best efficiency.
Kidneys tend to not fail independently. Most failures are the result of systemic causes.
Highlighting, a cornerstone to search UX
I saw Paul Irish tweet this [0] a few days back. Hopefully this doesn't come off as too negative, but I disagree with it being a "beautiful web experience". I tried it on my Nexus 5X and it's not a smooth experience, and that's with Chrome on a high-tier phone that isn't even a year old. With Firefox for Android, my default mobile browser, it seems to struggle even more.

With that said, I think it's an impressive demo. I'd love to look over the unminified source.

It's worth noting that it doesn't appear to load properly if you're using uBlock Origin; I had to toggle it off for the demo to work.

That is the default, but you can also opt not to show your address, and to hide all but your name from anyone outside your neighborhood. It's definitely smart not to show the address — but even still it's wise to censor yourself (don't say "seeking housesitter for 10/1 to 10/14) because people can just google you and see where you live from public records. HN folks probably realize this, but many people on ND do not...

Also note that you can post to just your neighborhood, or to yours and a few close by. You don't have to share with all (and frequently, I don't).
Strongly concur. In the mid-2000s, I was looking at a couple of collaborative filtering investments (in the days of RSS readers, the early mainstreaming of recommendation engines, etc.) and in doing some background / tech diligence, discovered that the entire thing had been done in the early 1980s at Xerox PARC.

That happened a couple of times during my first stint in VC in the mid-2000s -- ideas pioneered (and often reduced to practice) at PARC or other pure R&D facilities were finally finding mass-market or industry adoption.
It runs fine on my S5...
>just that trading is more likely to be beneficial than not.

Only if you like to mix up your order.
My guess is that they got acquired by Apple. Mostly because this is how it happened with FoundationDB from my recollection.

And Apple is the only company I can think of that's secretive enough that they'd force the team to just completely stop communicating out of the blue.

Happy to see 128GB versions at launch. I like to keep my stuff (including music etc) on my phone and I've had to resort to phones with microSD slots to date. If this is a "sensibly" specced phone, I might skip modding my N5 with 128GB flash.

EDIT: appears to also have microSD slot!
The two are different projects - it's just that they're a popular pairing. I could very well use Ember with Django or Dropwizard or whatever. I picked Rails because the project I'm working on is something that calculates the delta between a Chef implementation and what is in an EC2 environment. Ruby was a natural choice due to a strong library support for both the Chef API (thanks Seth Vargo and friends) and EC2.

It was on a whim that I chose Ember. I have heard of it before and how the project took stability a bit more seriously than other JavaScript frameworks so I went for it and was pretty pleased. It was super, super easy to integrate.

I think another similar pairing is Vue.js and Laravel and that actually makes me want to learn PHP.

I used to do a lot of Code for America work before I got distracted by my career and a desire to move out of my state. When I get back to it, I'll probably choose Rails and Ember just because of how happy I am.

Now, if I decided to stop doing operations/systems/devops work... I'd probably take React and other frameworks more seriously.
Well there's already a button there that I'm already in the process of pushing. I don't even have to think about if I'm using the fingerprint reader in an iPhone, I just click the button I was already about to press and it automatically unlocks the phone as well.

What's the point in having a giant bezel to fit a front button like the Pixel if you're moving half of the function of that button to the back? Now I have to specifically place my finger somewhere just so the fingerprint can be read.

I unlock an iPhone one-handed all the time. Just tap the home button. Done.

Psychiatry is the only medical specialty to have an active resistance movement. The problem is that their go-to treatments are palliative, and do NOT address any of the causes of their patients' conditions.

Robert Whitaker has found the evidence supporting the use of commonly-used drugs actually shows that psych patients do very poorly when medicated for an extended period of time [1].

Before the tranquilizers became available, people had episodes from which they usually recovered. Now their chronic conditions are 'managed', until they die 20 years earlier than would otherwise be expected.
