> hardware is no longer your problem and you can let experts do it for you.

I've heard this before, but it's basically not true. You still have hardware problems, you're just paying to pretend they aren't there anymore. If you want to do that, it's OK, but we need to stop pretending that throwing money at a problem makes it go away.

> Yes, you could do this yourself but that would cost more and reduce the advantage.

Compared to AWS pricing? No thanks. I've yet to personally see a company save money by using AWS (ymmv of course).

> Even with redundant hot spare fail-over you will need to fix the hardware at some point and will be running at risk until you do.

Sure, but that's generally where you save your money. And if you do it right, it doesn't have to be at 4 am
We're open to people who want to just contribute to the project (it's being run in the open) or people who want to do it as a full-time occupation.
I'd be interested in reading those studies. Do you have a source for mobile users who can't search as easily?
> Isn't it true, however, that everything is economized whether we like it or not?

Yes! Of course! I'm not claiming that municipalities are exempt from "the laws of resource allocation" (I take it that the "law" is simply that resources are finite, and therefore must be allocated). I'm merely claiming that they can (and sometimes should) choose to economize in different ways than would a private enterprise seeking profit in the free market.

The problem with letting the market perform these allocations for us is that the market, in conjunction with the various types of entities that participate in the market, is not equally equipped to capture all forms of value. In particular, private enterprises are typically not well suited to capturing value from public goods. That economic reality is the very reason we have governments. Things like the national defense, fresh air, etc. are typically not valued 'properly' in a free market and therefore must be promoted and maintained using social institutions that operate in concert with, but also partially separate from, the free market.
thanks, and fixed.

I've worked as a Senior Web Developer, and Mobile Application Developer in a startup for the past years. But I found interest in Data Science and started learning Machine Learning and Functional programming since then and I'm interested in working as a Junior/Intern Data Scientist. See my Github for a machine learning framework I wrote from scratch in Haskell [0] (still a work in progress as I learn more).

I would love to work in a team with learning culture, I like to learn more and do better everyday.

Your post is all over the place with made up anecdotes. For your car example, it assumes nobody would ever buy cars for safety features. For the medical example, the entire reason pharma can charge that is because of government grants monopolies. For the pesticide example, capitalism != no laws on poisoning people.

I assure you that you're frighteningly wrong about everything here and that your own personal insecurities are reinforcing a flawed opinion about how business works. I'm not sure how to communicate that to you, though. I'm genuinely at a loss about how to explain that your comment is extremely bad advice and is the type of outlook that most people who can't assert themselves develop.

The most important thing in anything, not just business, is not what people think of you. The whole purpose of your employment is to exchange your value for their value; why would feelings get involved if you recalculate your own value? You're asking poorly if people get offended, or the person you're asking does a poor job of separating emotion and business (literally step one of succeeding in business).

Do you really think Tim Cook gets up before sunrise to manage his SVPs' feelings? Your observations about what business actually is speak more to you than they do "the real world"; speaking of, since your opening retort was a slightly condescending explanation of that real world which I assure you I live in as well, I suspect the problem with your outlook reflects on you. But I don't mean that to belittle you. Just that perhaps the outcomes you experience come from how you approach things and not a firm understanding of business.

Might be worth some introspection here. Maybe I'm totally wrong but if I am, a whole lot of people who aren't you are too.

Some weird behavior in the demo:

If I check an item at the top of my todo list, then the first item in the "Active" tab is checked.
It has a lot to do with the technology. It's not the only or even the most important factor, but it's still one of the most important.

I think a big part of the disconnect being discussed originates in the myth that CRUD-based apps are fundamentally easy. This simply isn't true. The challenges of building a modern, complex, scalable CRUD app with good UX and a maintainable code base are not 'less than' challenges rooted in algorithms or bit bashing. Doing it well enough and fast enough to be competitive in the market is HARD.
Cross-compiling allows you to just have one binary of the compiler, for a fast architecture like x86-64, and then bootstrap binaries for every architecture from there. Without cross-compiling, you need to have a bootstrap binary of the compiler for every architecture you want to support.

I've been doing contract work for the last 6 years. In the markets I'm in Dallas and Chicago for my skill set (18 years) i'm finding it easy to find jobs at $125/hr but not much more than that. Even at that number I get lots of "thanks but no thanks." My most recent project, Apache Kafka and Spark, is only $115/hr. Which is close to $250k/yr but not any where near $400k/yr. I'm wondering where you're finding clients willing to pay this much and what type of work are you doing?
To the accounting department it is perfectly rational. In the accounting department everybody is an identical square in the spreadsheet.

In the spreadsheet, if square "A23" takes n hours to accomplish a task, the spreadsheet tells them they saved n x 0.2. This means that the longer it takes square "A23" to accomplish a task, the more the company appears to "save" in the spreadsheet.
It would be nice if languages allowed us to overload function names with the exact same parameters but different return types. The compiler or runtime environment should be able to select the correct implementation automatically based on type inference, or allow the programmer to specify which one should be used with an annotation. This would make some code a little cleaner instead of having to give all of those functions different names.

> "Most people want to be accepted, so they won't take risks that could make them look crazy."

This is a highly dissonant statement, so it's not surprising it's coming from a VC.

Innovation is exploring the crazy and coming back with something that can be shoehorned into reality without upsetting reality's tea cart too much. The problem with VCs is that their jobs consist of spending time investing in crazy things that have far reaching drawbacks that nobody sees until everyone is using the product and the founders and investors have already exited their position.
"Z" is a premise I disagree with; especially when government/force is involved. If you want to ride the subway to a determent of yourself for society's benefit, that's your decision. Hell, I might even be sharing the subway with you. However, I'm not about to make that decision for others. Pushing aside the individual for the collective is something I am vehemently opposed to on moral grounds. So, I guess I understand what you're saying, I just disagree with the premise.
Fully electronic "modern" solves nothing without training. Part of the reason Air France 447 crashed was because the crew did not react correctly to the instruments, even though it was an Airbus with all its gee-whiz electronic stuff. Boeing has been more conservative.

Myra Labs | San Francisco | Machine learning and full stack/infra engineers | Full-time

Myra Labs builds next-gen conversational AI tools that enable people to interact with businesses and services easier, better and faster. It's not just about chatbot tech demos; over the next few years, AI-driven conversations are going to reinvent many facets of everyday life.
