That is also ageist. I see it here on HN all the time - "companies don't want to hire older people because they want too much money".
Recruiter here with a history of working as a developer

The costs outweigh the benefits for employers (encouraging existing employees to ask for more money, losing candidates who will accept significantly less but wouldn't apply at a lower range, etc) -- so don't hold your breath.

> I've been having a lot of time wasted lately by

State it upfront when you submit your application, rather than "find that out":

"I am interested in roles paying above my current salary of $xxx,xxx only, and am looking for an improvement on that to reflect my increased experience and the risk of moving roles"

> Recruiters either don't know the range

Yeah they do.

> or lie about not knowing

"Could you tell me about offers you've previously made for this client?" They may also be lying about actually being authorized to recruit for the role(!!!) so consider asking them for a copy of the technical specification. If it's a larger company, ask what the salary banding and official job title for the range is, then head to Glassdoor.

> you have to submit a big packet of info (cover letter,

I had a hunch that roles like this weren't worth applying for when I was a developer. As a recruiter, this has been almost completely confirmed.

There are some simple changes which make pretty well understood improvements.

For example rank voting. You rank the candidates when you vote. When counting, you count all the votes for each candidate. You eliminate the candidate with the fewest votes. Everyone who had that candidate as a first choice reallocates their votes to their second choice. Repeat until there's a winner.

Suddenly it's okay to vote for that third party, because through rank voting you can ensure that your third party vote does not end up propping up the candidate you like the least.
There are plenty of digestible summaries of the ACA online[0]. I think it has some things that are very beneficial to the American population, like (trying) to raise Medicaid and offering subsidies for those just above the Medicaid cut-off. Also barring insurers from providing coverage for those with pre-existing conditions[1] and barring lifetime limits.

Not saying the ACA is flawless, but I'm not confident that Trump and the GOP are going to improve the situation in the long-term. ("cutting the red tape at the FDA" might help a bit, though) It's still not clear exactly what actions they will take.

This can be an advantage of using an external recruiter, because they sure as shit know what their potential cut of the revenue will be.
So hedging the bet would win big especially if the margins are close.

Yes. At the time I placed my bet on a Trump win I simultaneously bet on Hillary with an amount that would cover my Trump bet. Thus Hillary win would have meant that I had neither lost nor gained money.
They'll just run their cash over the border to Mexico, instead of sending it via electronic means. This has already been happening for years, although the vast majority of such cash running has consisted of illicit drug money. No reason why it couldn't expand to become the main way for illegal workers to get their cash heading south to their families, if there really were no other option.

We use both Erlang and Elixir where I work. We successfully use Erlang libs in our Elixir projects pretty easily. We recently started trying to do the reverse and use an Elixir app inside an existing Erlang app. It has been significantly more work. The main issues have been around dependency management.

I wasn't personally working on this, so I apologize for being fuzzy on the details, but I understand that getting rebar3 to fetch all the deps that would normally be managed by hex was not possible or at least non-trivial. There was talk of having to manually install each dep that you knew the Elixir lib would be requiring.

I think it was sorted into something workable, but if anyone has better understanding I would love to be pointed to some resources!
Trump Wall
It is fascinating to read all these comments (594 as I write this) analyzing this is a policy document. This is a marketing document. What will the actual policies be? Who knows. Perhaps some of them will be somewhat like some of the words in this document. Perhaps others will not. We are headed very far into uncharted territory, and all these pundits writing so many words confident about exactly what will happen, seems obviously silly given what has happened recently.

As a European I can't help but think that this is an immediate demonstration of how the leader of the United States can have actual impact on my life.

I was being mocked today by my (also European) peers when I expressed my disappointment in the election's outcome with the argument that I'm overly "Americanized".

I believe many people fail to realize how big of a player America truly is when it comes to global policies (environment, nuclear, wars even).
I agree with your message about safety, but it is important to keep in mind that illegal immigrants are inherently breaking the law. We should not encourage keeping them safe from deportation.

My advice would be to figure out what you want to do more concretely. Machine Learning / Data Science is a big field, if you have more concrete goal I think it would be easier.
Mixed opinion on this because it seems there is nothing wrong with no term limits on GOOD politicians. It would have been a shame if Ron Paul would have been prevented from his hugely successful 22+ years service in office. And Americans should really have no qualms about letting folks like Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffez serve indefinitely.
Interesting. I probably could not work in Google then if this is something that is not negotiable to a reasonable level before signing the contract. I consider myself a free man.

But I am afraid that they just slipped it in and you were too worried to ask it taken out. This is definitely something one should look in the contracts and ask to be redacted (IANAL).
Replacing the SSDs every year might be a valid solution, too.

It may be far cheaper to do so than to spend developer time coming up with a ramdisk solution. And RAM is far more expensive, per GB, than SSDs.

Next year's drives will be cheaper and better, anyway.
I agree, as REST isn't a silver bullet. I do, however, also agree with TFA that you should investigate it as a "code smell", but that should be done before you actually implement it. "Do I need to actually break from the REST pattern, or is this evidence of bad modeling?"

I dunno about Google, but I've got a friend who's legal advice was "Stop working on your phd immediately" when his lawyer read the new employment contract we was being asked to sign when his company got acquired by Oracle.

For the majority of (admittedly non-SV) employment contracts I've read, most will limit it to work that is linked to your employment only. In the few cases as a developer and recruiter where that's not been the case, I've had no trouble at all getting the company to sign-off on a clause that limits it to that. Legal is much much much more worried that you'll rip off actual company IP or technologies that you've built in the workplace than that you'll discover cold fusion in your garage and they won't get their cut.
Decentralize information flows. (Good luck with that...) However, it's not simply a problem of getting served what you like. I can guarantee you Trump supporters were not getting served what they like.
I get similarly laughed at for suggesting that America has such a big global impact that maybe everyone should get to vote.
Heck, the WaPo and Economist are normally good political opposites of NYT and Guardian, but even they found Trump repulsive.
Just so everyone is aware: selling insurance across state lines is code for "gut all insurance regulations". Why did most credit card banks relocate their paper headquarters to SD? Because SD had no usury laws and federal law said laws of your headquarters was all that mattered. It gutted all state regulation of credit cards in one fell swoop.

This is the same approach DJT and the Republicans want to take for health care. Think about that race to the bottom for a minute. Denied and dropped for making a single claim? Good luck, totally legal in [insert small state here].

Without the individual mandate insurance marketplaces don't work so I assume repealing Obamacare will immediately lead to millions of people being thrown off health insurance.

Truly a great victory for America.
Economic ones too. Going to college after high school nets you 40 years of increased wages. Doing that at 40 only gets you 20.
Anti-Trump Protests in Major Cities
I agree there's an element of silliness :) Another way to think about it is we're trying to determine what might happen given what we know and understanding what we consider acceptable as part of the process. And hopefully figuring out how to discuss these issues with each other without increasing our polarization, and finding some common ground.

Okay, okay. I can hope, can't I?
> and definetly apply in this situation

Are you a lawyer?
My wife and I were discussing issues like this tonight. We spoke about the fact that when most politicians make promises, you can point to specific votes or speeches during non campaign times to say "Yes, it seems like he/she is really against this." With Trump though, we have no comparison, he's never served any office before. The only thing we have is campaign promises and they mean so little. So journalists probably have a hard time deciding whether something he said is true or not.
One of the several things that has bothered me about commentators on Trump is that they've concocted this fantasy in which they imagine lazy-never-worked-a-day-in-his-life Trump finding that being president is more work than he realized so he, being Trump, says "fuck this" and is the chillest president ever while the GOP freaks out.

The reality is, of course, Trump is going to have delegates. And these delegates are not laid back about their political ambitions. Voting in Obama twice didn't end war or Guantanamo. If Trump is as dumb and evil as you imagine, the hope that he'll do something dumb enough to learn his lesson is the laziest, most self-destructive kind of thinking.

IANAL, but that's not what this is.

"Work for contract for other employers" could literally mean I can't help my neighbor mow his lawn in exchange for a beer. In this case what it really means is a non-trivial amount of work done for meaningful profit.

If I fix a friends computer in exchange for a nice meal, I am using my relevant skills to perform work, but I'm not actually violating a contract forbidding outside work in a way that could ever possibly result in damages or firing for cause.

For a potential employee to be so rule-stricken as to concern themselves with performing a coding interview, that would be the potential red flag for me. So this could actually be another positive outcome of this approach.
How would a website or bot help with this? I really can't imagine any way that would legitimately impact the life of people being harassed. Software is not the answer to everything, and if we've learned anything lately, it should be that our internet bubble is not representative of the real world.

Your time would be better spent advocating for laws that help protect people (such as laws to improve reporting on police shootings or extending laws that ensure protections of employment and housing for marginalized groups) , and of course actually speaking up if you witness harassment in person. You could run for local office even. Almost any action will be better than trying to go at this from the software angle.
Your coffee idea, I'm scared to admit, might be both a good business and fun project. Good coffee place across the street is next to my company. They have decent donuts.

And I now it's not wise monetarily, but I still go there.

I have serious doubts. I think the one thing that this election has proven is that fact-checking is dead. PolitiFact rated 70% of Trump's reviewed statements as at least "mostly false" and there were basically zero consequences.

The next election cycle is going to be brutal.
As an employee as one of the top flight research university I can't help but wonder what is going to happen to research in the states. My employer kicks out tons of research and tons of startups every year. We are the largest employer in the state. I'm wondering what kind of funding cuts we will experience because our research shows that vaccines work and that the globe is warming and our student base is overall pretty liberal. Seems like a perfect target for political extremists who might be appointed. Really it's the perfect institution to support if you want to bring around the next generation to your cause.

Microsoft Security Bulletins November 2016
One of my more pessimistic views on a Trump administration is that if the campaign is any hint to the future, the churn rate will be far higher than it normally is in the administration itself. This consequently means an even less efficient and organized administration as you'd normally get.

Hope I'm wrong.
Davy Crockett Portable Nuclear Weapon
Yes with a but.

I'm not convinced Trump fully understands what NAFTA entails. He talks a lot about the importing of goods manufactured in Mexico and the export of American jobs to Mexico, but to my knowledge he hasn't talked about any other aspect of it. Surely the tech sector would freak out and raise a stink if all their TN employees had to leave overnight.

The CBC has a high level article covering the ambiguities around getting out of NAFTA. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/donald-trump-nafta-trade-1.3657...
45% is the number he's talked about in the past.
Did he? Republicans favor policies that increase the wealth of the incumbent wealthy and are indifferent to policies that increase the wealth of the median citizen.
So you're saying he's like every politician that has ever made a promise
This is the type of divisiveness that made me fearful of Trump. To me, one of the greatest parts of the American democracy is the concept of a peaceful revolution[1]. It is clear that there was a large group of people who wanted to change the status quo, and Donald Trump embodied that change.

The 2 hour version of this is what I've always done in actual interviews, except where we peer develop the solution together the whole time, and I let the candidate drive and lead as much as they want to.

The take home version might be useful beyond that, but I've found that solving some fun toy problem like, "let's build a little app for X" in a couple hours you absolutely know if the candidate can code and have a good feel for what it would be like to work with them.
I don't understand what this comment has to do with the linked story. Can you connect the dots a bit more...?
Is this news? My level of trust in CNN has been very low for at least 2 or 3 years, I forget which lie it was, but it seems like every time I go to a place showing CNN, if I fact check what they are saying, they are either skewing the story or changing facts to suit the narrative the newscaster or panelist wants to tell.

Now, there is nothing wrong with that, you just have to recognize them, along with other unreputable sources as just pure entertainment, and treat them as such. If I turn on the TV I do not expect news, I expect entertainment.

That being said, there are still reporters out there like Amy Goodman who are doing real investigative journalism, but it is not something you will run across commonly.
