> Internal recruiters have hinted that my Software QA Engineer background + no CS degree implies I have no technical skill.

They're really trying to mitigate risk that they pass you along to engineers and the engineers say "why am I looking at this person with no formal qualifications" and then the recruiter feels like they've wasted the time of the engineering team. It's stupid but insidious.

If you can I would suggest trying to bypass the recruiters and contact the engineers/hiring manager directly; ask them out for coffee and ask for advice on starting a career in data science, or show them your portfolio via email there.

I believe the parent is arguing for act-consequentialism, rather than rule-consequentialism. A similar argument is against the usefulness of case-law in the court system—it often prevents a judge from making the best possible decision for the particulars of the case.
This is very similar to how CGA worked on the IBM PC.

> we should have the right to repair/hack our own devices

No people should demand the devices they buy be repairable and if enough people care that's where the market would follow. When it comes to rights I think companies should have the right to sell devices that are not user repairable. I also think consumers have the right not to be ripped off on first party repairs but that's a problem with multiple solutions e.g. audits and penalties.

I think the problem is that certain subfields use different terminology to mean similar or identical concepts. For example, while I'm in software, I tend to hear the terms sensitivity and specificity. They are historically medical terms. They aren't identical to recall/precision, but I think you can derive one set from the other.

you sound much too certain about this. the fact is we really know almost nothing about extra-terrestrial life.

I'm not making an argument in any way shape or form for a divine creation to the universe. I'm just trying to point out that you're making claims you can't possibly support with evidence and sounding as if you're certain of them in the way that people are certain about evidence backed claims. in other words, you're speaking from dogma not from knowledge.

> our budgets are already creaking under the load of our spending and entitlement programs

Assuming you are talking about the U.S., AFAIK that is not true. The U.S. is the richest country in the history of the world, right now, and by a wide margin. Remember that under President Clinton, the U.S. government ran a surplus and the economy was booming. What changed?

* Large tax cuts for wealthy Americans, reducing revenue significantly

* Two long wars. I know Iraq cost over $1 trillion by itself.

* I think the prescription drug bill passed under Bush was very expensive

* The Great Recession, of course.

The U.S. is much richer now than when it ran that surplus. The main problem is not spending, but revenue. Republicans (not to be partisan on HN, but they are the ones doing it) keep cutting revenue (taxes) and then saying there is no money for anything.

When viewed as a donation of services instead of cash, he's simply giving his product away for free in order to collect data to improve his product. In its own right, I'd argue that certainly should be considered charity and deserving of praise.

The questionable part about this transaction seems to pertain to the tax deductions taken. However, it strikes me as unlikely that the loss on the donation withstanding any reasonable tax deduction would be covered by any personal payback on the donation.

You mean by being transparent as opposed to some of the other serious security incidents out there?

Could you please clarify exactly how they "downplayed the issue"? The impact is an exercise in statistics. They seem to have compiled what logging / statistics they could, then accurately advised everyone of what they found.

They turned around an initial fix on the issue in hours, no?

As for web caches, what are they supposed to do, other than plead for their owners to delete them ASAP?

As for Ragel, not sure how the initial version of the response read, but the one I read clearly pointed out it was a Cloudflare issue. And given the semantics of the issue, I'd cut them some slack if they misidentified the cause the day after they'd been scrambling to fix this.

I'd be interested who you do trust to properly handle a security incident if you're looking for better than this. IBM? Microsoft? Apple? Just try and get a 24-hour fix out of them.

>I know that our budgets are already creaking under the load of our spending and entitlement programs

You are welcome to cut my social security and medicate "entitlements" but I've been paying into them for 20 years so be prepared to write me a check for every penny taken from me. Its not an "entitlement" if I've been forced to pay into it for decades. I would be very careful with that word if I was you as its politically charged.

Also the idea that "just throw more money" at a problem is tempting but often wrong. It won't bring some utopia it'll just bring a lot of grant chasers going after bureaucrats who need to get rid of the money. Is there evidence the sciences are actually underfunded? By what measure? And which research specifically. Also the "cant have 9 women make a baby in 1 month" truism applies. Throwing more resources at something doesn't necessarily lead to the outcome you expect.

"Throw more money" at things shouldn't be an unquestionable truth. We did this with college loans and now college is unbelievably expensive and education outcomes questionable, especially since we saw the equivalent of 'grant chasers' in education in the form of diploma mills.

Have any startups with 10 year exercise periods had a liquidity event yet? I'm genuinely interested to see how true to the idea they were, or whether they (eg) issued a bunch of new stock to current employees that diluted vested ex-employees.

Absolutely. Hoppe is the greatest philosopher alive.
This did not happen with all displays. I used an original Playstation with a Commodore 1084S monitor [1] connected via RGB with custom connector I built, using a LM1881 [2] to split the composite sync signal for the RGB mode's separate vertical and horizontal sync. This had excellent sharpness and dithering was always clearly visible. Both the Genesis and the SNES (non-mini versions) output RGB without modification and can be used with that same hardware.

In any case, it's unlikely that blurring was always intended. The article shows a screenshot from Chrono Trigger where a dithering-style checkerboard pattern is instead used to represent the keys of a typewriter. It would be difficult to tell what it was supposed to be if there was enough blur to hide dithering. Official artwork from NES-era Nintendo often showed characters drawn in a sharply pixelated style. And portable systems used LCD displays with no blurring, but dithering was still used extensively.

It's not just browsers. eg;

$ host -v ai
Trying "ai.home.example.com"
Trying "ai"
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 29228

So if there was a host on my network named 'ai', http://ai would resolve there (The terminating dot being standard to indicate a fqdn, rather than a browser trick). This has been understood for a long time; rfc1049 gives us:

Relative names are either taken relative to a well known origin, or to a
list of domains used as a search list. Relative names appear mostly at
the user interface, where their interpretation varies from implementation to implementation[.]

I stress that last clause; dotless domains have no defined behaviour. "http://google/" may refer to google.example.com. (relative to my search list), google.com. (relative to a well-known origin), or google. (a fqdn). That's not browsers, or omnibars, it's been the vagueness of undotted-domains since the start.
I strongly doubt this.

I wonder if you are less impacted by the lack of CS degree than by your "Software QA Engineer" label.

My own experience was that my initial position as a software performance engineer resulted in a perception that I was a "tester" without technical skills despite having multiple CS credentials and published code in practitioner-oriented sources.

Overcoming recruiter biases was such a struggle that I now routinely counsel students and early career programmers to carefully consider whether job role perceptions would negatively affect their future prospects. I also tell them, when financially viable, to not take on roles where hiring orgs cannot give them a day-to-day job description that directly matches their desired career path.

This advice seems quite challenging or maybe misguided for data science careers though. It seems like just getting an entry-level data science job might require a dedicated MS in either CS or stats, with a healthy set of projects in whichever of those two subjects you didn't spend grad school working on to prove yourself . . .
That certainly seems likely and a good thing to keep in mind when you're giving or taking an interview!

I'm not sure about "a lot of startups", I'm personally only aware of a very few that are doing this. Word on the street that I hear is that maaaaybe your current employer might do this for employees they like, but not as a consistent policy. Many board members, founders, etc... feel they will take a retention hit if they were to implement something like this.

I personally think the status quo is insane, and I will never take another role with a options component of the package that does not have a policy like this.
So you're at least occasionally getting actual feedback from some of these discussions. That's quite something, actually.

BTW, as to some of that "feedback":

Honestly, I think the way you communicated your thought process and results was confusing for some people in the room.

"Okay, pal - let's put your people up in a room full of strangers (some of whom show through their body language and/or constant phone-checking that they pretty much don't really want to be there in the first place), make them answer some made-up questions (which may or may not be coherently presented; or even particularly relevant to the job description) -- combined with the background stress of being unemployed, and/or stuck in job they absolutely HATE, and can barely stand another day of -- and see how they do."

Quite honestly given your questions [about vacation policy] and the fact that you are considering other options, [we] may not be the best choice for you.

Great -- so they're basically accusing you of being a slacker (not really into the work, only interested in what's in it for you, etc). Which is quite a presumptuous attitude to take in response to a perfectly reasonable question about the value proposition they're asking you to consider (a question for which it might be in better form to wait until the later stags of the negotiation process to bring up... but that's a very minor style point that you definitely shouldn't be dinged for).

"Quite honestly" that attitude sucks. And you don't need to feel bad about being "rejected" by people like that.
There will be false negatives too, but most likely not related to the skills but something else, like mental health or work ethic.

> it seems like there's just so much graft and waste.

I hear this claim, but I've never seen evidence of it. How much graft and waste is there? In which department?

Every large organization has some of it - name one that doesn't. I have yet to see evidence of how relatively efficient or uncorrupt the U.S. government is. I do know that anti-corruption groups generally rate it highly relative to other governments worldwide, but many of those governments are in poor countries with high corruption (the latter being a major cause of the former).
I second The Plague. A book everyone ought to read.
You don't have to convince me that Google has intentionally led people to become more reliant on them, that is their business model, where user is the product and Google becoming as integral to your day to day life as possible is important; as their business model is literally "people use us the most and we know them better so advertise to them through us".

But I think we should have a clear divide between responsibility of the user and the content aggregates. Just like with editorial news and Journalism we of course can differentiate between the two, and there are ethics and integrity issues we should hold news outlets to, but we need to be careful of confusing a search engine with a news outlet just because people use it to find news and facts from various places. That does not make them arbitrators of the truth. The responsibility lies on the end user to use their judgment and wisdom and research to come to informed decisions. And the responsibility lies on the news agency to report factual things. Google just needs to help me find relevant information, and let me decide what is good ethical journalism and what is fictional drivel.

You might think "But doesn't that mean that anyone can scream as loudly as they want and people will hear them and might listen to them?" Well yes it does. And it seems like everyone here has a problem with that, because they think people have terrible common sense. People have been trying to sway public opinion through media since there was written word. But you should criticize the work of the book author, or maybe even the publisher who is constantly publishing crappy books, but not the book store or library who is just helping you find whatever you are looking for no matter who you are or what you like.

I don't think you people know what you are asking for when you want to put it in peoples heads that because someone or something is popular or used by many people it somehow has a responsibility to curate the truth.
How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia: A Novel by Mohsin Hamid

I encourage people to read it. It's perspective changing. I know its a fictional novel but it made me realize that other countries have their own version of the American dream.
I was coming from academia with no real competitive background in machine learning/predictive analytics/statistics when I started applying for data science positions. I was coming from a post doc in computational neuroscience, and had done ML/your run-of-the-academic-mill stats as part of my thesis, but never had formal training in it. I landed a lot of interviews (and applied for an ENORMOUS amount of positions), but it took me a while to land a really solid offer. So just keep at it.

Once I got that offer and 'data scientist' was listed as a position on my resume, I've had at least one or two recruiters reach out to me each week. Not just your 'bulk tech recruiter', but individual hiring managers/team leads from companies who had no interest in me prior to the title change.

Hell, I had a manager I had already interviewed with from another company (and got rejected) reach out to me TWICE to come back in. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure he remembered that I had interviewed there only a month earlier.

All after I had the title change on my resume. What I'm getting at, is for me, the title change really opened up doors. I figure 'data science' is such a huge buzzword now, recruiters look more for that buzz word than they do for the actual content of what you've done on your resume. I'm sure it will die down at some point.

This may be more prominent outside of silicon valley where I am, and (in my opinion without any facts to back it up), where I feel more weight is given for the title than the substance.
This doesn't answer the question; in particular, there are loads of other languages (Lua probably being the most popular) which would also satisfy this requirement.

I think that's not the cause. I've seen research showing that tuition increases are strongly correlated with cuts in government funding for higher education.
Organized society != State.
Agriculture does not require a large state.
Just because we haven't had a large society without the state doesn't mean it isn't possible.
Money can be provided without government paper, for instance Bitcoin.
Contracts can be make without the government, for example etherium. Anarcho-captitalism provides a framework for which contract enforcement can be provided in a distributed p2p fashion.
People may still pool their resources to sponsor scientific research and new technologies. Considering that people are willing to do these things nowadays means that people will still be willing to do these things without a state.
