Off the bat, I wish you the best of luck and diligence will get you there. That having been said, invest in a good resume preparation service known for servicing your niche. I am being self-serving here since I run a Shanghai based English resume editing, LinkedIn profile creation, and interview coaching service. In most cases, working with the right mentor/consultant/whatever you want to call it will cost you a few days and a few hundred dollars max. If the final result is 1) a document that sells you extremely well, 2) interview skills that are well polished leading to a secure FT position with perhaps higher salary than you were targeting, isn't that worth the investment?

Reach out to me with questions at vfulco[@]weisisheng.cn. You were asking about cheap/free services. We do generalized critical resume reviews for ~15USD and full resumes creation/rewrites for between 150-400USD. This is the time to consider working with someone who does them day in and day out. Go for cheap beer (if you want) not cheap professional career services.

Functional Programming Makes You Happier
The structure could be different. For example with latest composites you can assemble the dry fibers, maybe with some stitching to keep them in place, wrap them in a bag and use vacuum to infuse them with resin.

No fasteners and large monolithic parts. Sometimes you need an autoclaves, sometimes not. Things like point loads would need to be designed out as much as possible.

Likely because of large existing investments, politics and path dependence, the new airliners built differently will have come from somewhere else.

Airbus itself did disrupt the market with composites back in the day with their first plane, and they have a multi megawatt class electric ones in the works, so who knows, maybe they can renew?

Is there concern that those long-lived antibody clones become pathological themselves?
That would be a very short-term perspective of them to take. If it becomes common knowledge that it's mostly repackaged chinese goods, then the storefront as a whole would collapse. In this case, preserving their morals I believe is very important to their business as a whole.
I don't understand, where do you think I made that assumption?

The GP stated they were Asian, so presumably they at least have less establishment in USA than a person from USA.

Perhaps they meant their family at some point in the past came from Asia, but if they couldn't describe their heritage clearly that wouldn't really be my fault.
Right to roam would be a nice thing for the US. There are so many wide open areas that are completely closed off by fences for no good reason. At least there should be a rule that you have provided a certain number of paths through the area.

The electoral college system has obviously been a terrible idea for years. Plenty of people also vocally complained about it in 2000, for example.

But changing it requires changing the Constitution, which requires a supermajority of state legislatures—and the electoral college shifts power from citizens and the federal government to states.
Ask HN: Passionate software engineer now demotivated. What should I do?
I used to work on a multi-tenant SaaS product for businesses. Got into the company as junior developer, grew up quickly, built features on and on, worked like a multi-functional robot across departments so much so that I added value to the whole product and the company.

Later, I got a chance to move to a big data company. Jumped into it because I wanted to learn big data problems. The initial days were good, but as days went by, I realised it wasn’t the right company for me. The business focus keeps oscillating and there’s ridiculous levels of politics and over-engineering that delays a product from reaching it’s milestone, and sometimes they end up in trash, wasting the time a developer puts into building it.

For someone who has been passionate about working with products & customers, the trouble everyday is a major turn-off. I reached out to a few companies that felt like a good intersection — while some responded, I hardly heard back from a bunch of other companies/startups. Is the market down lately?

Given my experience in building products & focussing on wide range of other initiatives related to the product, I sometimes feel I should start building a product on my own OR try out flying to places like Chiang Mai and meet people to see if there’s synergy. But, I am totally confused.

It feels like my head is in a messed up state, mixed with stress, anxiety about my career and everyday work. Has anybody experienced this before? What suggestions do you have?

Just started reading Chaos Monkeys. Thoroughly enjoying it so far (am up to Zuck's inner circle of desks). Guardianistas are a funny lot aren't they.

When you get into hunting/sportsman's issues, you might find yourself surprised at how politically...moderate it can be. I was.

My wife's extended family is really into hunting so I ended up taking a gun safety course to get my hunting license. A LOT of gun safety is preached there. Don't brandish your weapons or your prey publicly; keep them to yourself. Always assume a gun is loaded. When carrying a loaded gun, hold it a certain way. When walking with a loaded gun, don't point more than 15-20 degrees in either direction if someone is standing next to you. Lock your guns separately from your ammo. And so on.

There are a lot of environmentalists (preservationists?) working for the state in this field as well. Managing deer population levels, preventing forest fires, not littering, that kind of thing.

So while I was a bit surprised to see a 'red state' kind of company advocating for federal control of these lands, I suppose I shouldn't have been. There's a lot of room for nuance in this country.
Most of Finland is pretty flat, and the fastest & most direct routes often involve cycle paths already (although in the less well planned cities you might have to randomly move from one side of the road to the other because).

If your bicycle turns into a moped because it has a motor that isn't artificially restricted to operating at under 25 kph, you'll end up having to take the long way and ride among the cars in heavy traffic. My experience is that Finnish drivers are not particularly used to cyclists on these larger roads, because we have shared cycle & pedestrian paths everywhere. These facts would pretty much encourage me to go by car instead.

I think banning an entire category of vehicles because it "can go fast" is the wrong approach, and horribly inconsistent. I mean I can sprint at 45 kph on a cycle path on meat power if I want to, as long as I do not endanger anybody. And we don't ban cars on small city streets even if they can break 200 kph. Why not, say, speed limits?

GM did not sit back and let someone else take the risk. They pioneered in this space. The Volt, Spark EV, and now the Bolt are all extremely well engineered cars that are ahead of everyone else in the industry except Tesla. And in one way, ahead of Tesla in bringing such products to a regular mass market consumer. And it is one thing to burn through VC building unprofitable products like Tesla did -- GM brought EVs to market as an established long term corporation that had to drive revenue and profits.

EDIT: in some ways it is precisely _Tesla_ that has let someone else (their investors) take the risk.

Everyone else dabbled in EV. GM actually made seriously good products. Their dealers are shitty at selling them, and the volume of production is low -- but that is for concrete reasons: battery supply, cost of production, lack of demand.

I have a Volt on order. It is a seriously amazing machine. Very few compromises, very much like a best-of-both-worlds scenario. Tesla-fans and EV purists diss it, but it is in many ways the perfection of the hybrid concept and leaning towards EV. I'd love to go pure EV but there isn't a product out there for me yet.

Luckily GM of all companies has something to sell me.
Probably libs.

I would try to design a small plane - such as the next-gen Cessna - that could be built mostly by robots. Maybe hire most of the engineers from the carkmaker industry (Mercedes-Benz, Tesla). Then move up from there.
An interesting idea. I wonder how they're going to change consumer behaviour though; most people just use Baidu and fact-checking isn't common practice. In university, citations are pretty sloppy and sources are rarely verified. In other words, the one of Wiki's main value-adds isn't necessarily seen as a value (yet).
You're too modest. :) People don't expect it.

I enjoyed this talk and took away something slightly different to others on the talk...

For me, what was clear is that they listened to feedback and took action relatively quickly. I remember when they first launched the Blackberry version and emailing the team about bugs - I think I got a response the following day and they clearly implemented something by the following release.

It wasn't about being devoted to a vision of a particular product they were passionate about. They saw a market/ problem and solved it using their technical ability.

Yes, they had a lot of luck on their side - being in the market early enough to gain the visibility. Also, people naturally promoted the app so they didn't need to spend much on marketing. Other apps that came after it, weren't so lucky. Being well connected and having cash to provide initial runway probably made this easier for him than it would be for most but I think it's fair to say he built up his rep at Yahoo - which probably helped when he needed to raise cash.
I live in the south of Germany (that's central Europe) and cycle to work year-round. Cycle paths are cleared of snow just like roads. All you need is a winter jacket, a beanie that goes beneath your helmet, and a pair of (leather) gloves against the wind. That's just standard winter gear, nothing specific to cycling. Rain pants are a good idea when it's snowing or as an extra layer of insulation, and every serious cycle commuter has a pair anyway.
Sorry I don't know Snowden's heritage or if he would check out under security clearance. He looks to me like he could have East European heritage. If his parents were from the country of Georgia, say, then I'd expect clearance processes to take far longer (with their local script I imagine far fewer security cleared translators, and that acquiring documents on parents/relatives would be much harder).

Does that not seem reasonable?

No, his point is that if you are lying they have an instrument to use against you. Similar to how they got Al Capone, where they didn't have to go through the trouble of having to prove his actual crimes in court.

It isn't about you individually, it's about big numbers, statistics. It's just an additional tool in their arsenal. Similar to why doctors perform standard exams even when you come in and complain about something where that particular exam seems ridiculously wrong. The procedures are not invented new each time for every person, they are based on what works "statistically". On that level they found that in (some low) x percent of cases having such a signature helps, so they include that question. And occasionally they even catch someone gullible to, or who can't manage their emotions, but that's just an additional bonus and not even the main reason for the question(s).
The part you don't understand is that the US "border control" is about security theatre and not actual security.
Are there any languages that have dynamic typing but linear/affine memory management or C-style manual malloc+free? I reckon there would be some real productivity benefits in such a language if you wanted fast code with good C interop (Rust shows that affine types combined with destructors allows fantastic C interop) with faster development speed.

I think the onus is on devs to implement it. So far, the only app I've found with robust reconnect is XiiaLive Pro (a music-streaming app). I use it daily for streaming radio stations and I often forget to disable WIFI when I leave the house, so by the time I'm down the block, the music usually cuts off for 1-2 seconds before the app realizes WIFI is gone. Amazingly, it auto-retries using the 3g/4g connection. I've used 10s of music streaming apps, and ALL of them required a manual stop/start after WIFI signal is gone.

Can you elaborate? I just did a cursory Google and it's not clear to me why this is true.

They're $10/gb flat with refunds for unused GB. At what usage levels do you think they're 'some of the highest rates in the industry?'

I use <3 gb/MO, mainly because the mobile <-> WiFi switching is so seamless, and I've never paid more than $50/mo off contract. The UX is also top tier, which i couldn't say about Straight Talk (my last provider).

I'll buy that they're not the cheapest, but which plan offers substantially cheaper?

Read on to find out how the developers of Visual C++ Libraries shoot themselves in the foot: it's going to be interesting and informative.
Almost all the incentives are for the status quo. I don't see anything which will radically change this.
The closest example I can give is that I work on a system where the birthday can be partially unknown. This mostly affect refugees. So the person either has to guess his own age, or only knows the year, or only the year and month.

Then again, someone might make a mistake. "What do you mean 09-11 is not November 9th, you silly American."

Now that I think of it, I guess the best argument against natural keys is "typos".

The USA consulate in Rio de Janeiro is also like that. Of course, it's become a business opportunity: right next to the queue outside the consulate, there are several people who offer to store your electronics, for a price.

Contrast with for instance the Germany and France consulates a few blocks over (they're in a single building), where as far as I know no such rule exists.
It's worth mentioning that on some systems it's possible to permanently disable the management engine and the MEBx extension BIOS by selecting the "Permanently Disable" option from BIOS.
I feel like posting something positive here - I travelled to the US last week for tourist-y purposes and the border control was fast, efficient, nobody looked at my devices (even though I had 3 phones with me), and the only gripe was with tourists of certain nations constantly trying to jump the queues.
Native look and feel is the first thing to go with friendly consumer products such as games. Native UI means "generic" and doesn't convey the idea of value.
Interesting in that I came up with the idea that is basically etsy in 2000 (as I'm sure thousands of others did), after noticing that various artist/artisan friends I had made after moving to Montana had no viable way to sell their work on the 'net. I still have the code for the site somewhere in my projects directory, called "asite" for "Artists' Site".

Anyway, I got distracted by an influx of work, a new baby, and ultimately other startup ideas.

Good to know I would have wasted my time trying to finish and launch that company...
I think 30% by 2030 is overly pessimistic. I'm simply guessing but since average age of the car on the road in the US is about 10 years, cars bought today will be off the roads by 2027. In ten years it's reasonable to expect that every car manufacturer will have an electric car in every category for a price comparable to regular ICE. Considering environmental and health benefits of electric cars, together with factors like prices of gas, increase in power produced by solar panels etc it does not make sense to think that most people would decide to get the worse option (ICE).
I think by 2030 90% cars sold will be electric.

Whatever you set your limit as it's pretty trivial to bypass if they are willing to create a thousand accounts. Close those thousand accounts and they will create a thousand more at the same rate you close them.

Add velocity controls for the IP address and you'll get a thousand sign ups from a thousand IPs. Limit it by device and you'll see a thousand devices. Flag the images using a perceptual hash and the images will come back superimposed on random pictures of food.

At some point you find that your accounts are now traded as a commodity on underground markets at various prices by teams that specialize in creating accounts, aging them and selling them for x cents. Add enough restrictions to new accounts and you'll find existing shops being taken over and flooded with listings.

And do all of this while still having an "effortless" signup experience for new legitimate vendors.

Being Public
What did you think I was talking about?

I guess there could be a few senses of types for a programming practitioner:

1. integral types (int, float, etc)
2. product types (structs, objects)
4. sum types (enums)
5. containers (vec, dict, list, etc).

Typeless types would be dicts of lists of dicts. i.e. shitty product types. e.g. `x = dict(y=1, dict(z=[1,2,dict(u='good data')]))`. Passing this to functions that want to get 'good data' out of the structure basically end up treating this as a type, if that makes sense.

If I understand kbenson's point, it's that sometimes this is better than a tower of babel of type hierarchies that you may have confronted in Java or C++ and you end up needing to ponder how to convert your IWiggleWoggleSupplierProvider into an IWoggleWiggleProviderSupplier even though they do almost the same thing and have the same data but somehow they have different inheritance hierarchies.
