Nobody really cares the number of actual years you have just how well you know something.

In terms of not lying on your resume. Side projects/join a company/team that uses both your stack and what you want to use. Remember, your new company does not actually know how specifically you spent your time at your previous jobs. Was it 50/50 or 95%/5%.

Remember you can learn things a lot faster than n-years experience. So, spread that out over a few years and you do have n-years experience.
> It is cheap because it is a poor power source

This makes no sense. How good a power source something is has nothing to do with how cheap it is to produce. Otherwise horses running in circles around poles would be a dirt cheap power source and oil/solar (depending if you rank by convenience or environment) would be insanely expensive.

...there are no profitable wind companies

I'm not sure where you got your information from, but there are plenty of profitable wind companies. Since a lot of them are publicly listed companies, they have an obligation to invest shareholder money responsibly to generate a profit. Additionally, many diversify their risk by being 'renewable energy' companies (e.g. solar, hydro, etc.)

These companies wouldn't be building wind turbines or operating wind farms if it wasn't profitable.

Example: Meridian Energy, 866 employees, NZD$2.37 billion revenue, $NZD185 million profit. Generates ~35% of electricity in New Zealand, with operations in Australia as well (3 wind farms)

> It is also fair to say that Google is now in a position where regulation is needed. I sincerely hope that they’ll get back to the straight and narrow.

Hah. Even before I read any of this article, just reading the post title as submitted here made me think of something I ponder often:

The Microsoft antitrust regulations happened ultimately because Microsoft read the situation wrong and pushed too hard. It's sad to say that Google have studied what happened very, very well, and they've stepped carefully enough that, well, we now have Chromebooks - the exact direction Microsoft was heading in. And nobody's batting an eyelid.

Yes, Google needs to be reminded what its boundaries are.

I believe this can be done.

My guess is that Google have successfully ridden the general consensus of "it's open source, anyone can fork it" to get away with having Chrome be the world's dominant browser. But Chrome is not Chromium. Yeah, yeah, the binary differences are just a crash-reporter and autoupdater (mostly, IIRC), but still.

So the politicos need to be convinced that we've revisited the same situation. My suggestion is stifles laughter requiring that Chromebooks provide the option to install Firefox. :D

(OT trivia: Chromium's builtin spellchecker is fine with "politicos". That's hilarious. (I know it's on, it doesn't like "autoupdater".))
I have had great success with saying things like “I have 10 years of web engineering experience and have been looking into X for N years/months”.

Engineering skills translate well between stacks and framework/library skills are only good for a couple years. Can you break down a complex problem into estimatable chunks that can potentially be delegated as well? Can you design a system that solves a business problem? Awesome! Nobody will ask you about framework du jour.

Honestly I’d say that if you’re talking at the level of which libraries/frameworks you know, you’ve already lost. That’s junior/midlevel engineer stuff.

Senior engineers solve problems. Junior engineers code in frameworks.

Most code that’s used in production has so much custom stuff anyway that it might well be its own framework.
> I'm not sure when exactly the PageRank patent expires (people seem to be saying 2017 or 2018), but it will be soon and that should open up some interesting possibilities.

You could use it right now. In fact, many do.

Google doesn't sue companies for using PageRank or much of their published research. Much more interesting things have come out since then like BigTable (led to Hadoop + NoSQL databases) and Word2Vec (better semantic analysis + search). These are in use all over industry.

> State of the art AI can only do very specialized things in limited scope e.g ASR, NLP,Image recognition, game play etc.
> What am I missing?

What you are missing is that much of the enterprise world is gameplay, and that "AI" is beginning to show superhuman performance in this area. Soon programs will be "playing" to be a business, act as equals to business owners. This AI employs us as its sensors, just like business men already do.

This means that in the next few years, you may get hired by a computer program. A program is more reliable and predictable, and will even be preferred by a lot of employees.

It may start as a broker, making money to sustain itself. It'll be totally profit driven and it'll demonstrate a pure form of ruthless capitalism, sacrificing nature and us if it is in its interest, as it has no sense of good or evil. It'll learn like an alien would from our reactions: without understanding or comprehension. To us it is ignorant and ruthless.

This is exactly what Musk is saying. I find it strange Musk did not exemplify his views in this way, as it obviously is what he is seeing. In contrast Zuckerberg is not working on dangerous AI, no gameplay AI, so what he calls AI seemingly is a lot more innocent, more focused (like tooling), which explains his relative mildness on the issue. He sees regular engineering with exciting possibilities, as a menu for _him_ to make the choices.

Musk sees AI wedding money, and wielding its power, driven by the capitalist forces already at play, and magnifying them, spiraling out of control, even of its creator. His AI is a financial animal, and it does not need intelligence to wield power. Business people are not more intelligent than other humans -- Musk knows it. It is like a game, not more than that. AI just knows how to win it, from them, and it'll, inevitably, succeed.

--

AI will probably be what we deserve. It may, in the end, derail evil, by embodying it without the usual compulsion, so it may unwillingly recognize "good" and choose to reward it, as an emergent effect.
I can understand avoiding clickbait, but it seems that HN has a policy of making sure titles are sufficiently boring. Originally this post's title matched the blog post's title:

> For the love of God, please tell me what your company does

Adds some flair. Expresses the sentiment of the article. Now it simply says:

> Tell me what your company does

On the other hand, HN is an impressively effective, open minded atmosphere for discussion. The bit of pruning that is done must be working. I wonder if this policy somehow leads to success overall.

I would focus on learning the stack/framework you want to find employment in.

Do an initial project creating an app to do something for you. Use that to try to find another project/app you can create for someone in your network as a freelance project. Become active in the community for that framework. Blog, write tutorials, reach out to others in the community to build relationships.

When applying for jobs I would list your job title, company and years. Then have another section for the languages/technologies you have used. I never match them up one to one. They will ask how many years experience you have with what they are using. With new frameworks a year to a few years is good enough to get in the door.

Becoming active in the community is going to open more doors than resumes. Once someone knows you and that you are capable it's easier to land a position if they can recommend you.

Good luck with your pivot.

Google's comment was

>The mobile web version of Google Maps is optimized for WebKit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. However, since Internet Explorer is not a WebKit browser, Windows Phone devices are not able to access Google Maps for the mobile web.

The problem is, mobile IE uses the same rendering engine as desktop IE10, which works. Firefox works even though it's not Webkit. And if you visited maps.google.co.uk, everything worked perfectly. And it worked before Google blocked it. Between the time Google blocked WP8 from viewing Google Maps and the time they said "oh hey the browser works now", there were no updates to Windows Phone to change browser functionality.

In short, Google blocked their competitor from accessing their website, got called out, issued a complete lie of a statement, then rolled back the change. Yes, as a Windows Phone user at the time I was not amused, and that was when I stopped using Google services.
I was at the SIGIR'17 presentation of this paper (won best paper award btw) and have some comments in general:

- They mentioned (from what I remember) that they now use BitFunnel as they core of the complete Bing search engine not just the fresh parts.

- When I read the paper and looking at the code, it looks like their index doesn't include frequency information whereas your PEF code does. It is unclear what was counted in the experiments.

- If you look at the code, they are actually doing much more complicated stuff than just regular bloom filters by "bin packing" the hash positions for each term to reduce false positive rates (see https://github.com/BitFunnel/BitFunnel/issues/278 ). I'm nor sure if it is "fair" to compare a system developed by 10+ engineers over many years to a "phd student" code base developed over short period of time. I think the PEF code is excellent but I'm more talking about that engineering efforts can have a large impact on performance.

- I'm fairly sure you are right regarding the lack of URL-sorting. However, this can have another cause. If you consider Figure 4 in the paper which shows how "higher ranking rows" group documents together to allow faster intersection. URL sorting causes clusters in document-ids. Say, in the example in Fig. 4 there might be a cluster for that specific term for documents 0,1,2,3. This would mean the "higher ranking" row approach becomes worse (more false positives) when clustering occurs in the collection. So while URL-sorting helps PEF, it will most likely make BitFunnel worse.
You've missed the point. Mechanical transportation are dependent on other entities (ie, humans) for progress. There's no positive feedback loop. AGI is fundamentally different because an AGI can design an even better AGI, thus producing positive feedback loops, and exponential growths.

I find such things horribly wasteful even if I had unlimited disposable income. Run out of reasonable purchases and you can always just donate the rest.

Remember, it's not expensive because that's what it costs to make it's expensive because that's what it takes to sell them.
These analysis are not comparing apples for apples. Renewables don't supply base load and hence they sell energy when people don't need it, which is why they are achieving lower prices.

Maintenance and depreciation are much larger costs because the asset is the business for wind farms. Who cares how much operating profit you make, if your depreciation is higher than it?

To understand depreciation, consider a guy driving Uber making $30/hr in an $80k merc. He might be making good operating profit, but when you consider he has to replace the car in 5-10 years, spending another $80k, is it really that good?
Don't write anything on your resume that would indicate "number of years experience" -- list your jobs, explain key achievements, don't distill anything down to a number. Your resume should NOT explain who you are, or go into real specifics -- it's an advertisement for you, as simple as that. If they want details, they'll have to schedule an interview.

Once you have the interview, you can talk about your experiences, why you're a good fit, what you do in your spare time, etc -- they will not tally up years of experience or record your answers directly into an Excel spreadsheet.

Also, don't say you're "pivoting" your career. Just don't.

> Closed source sometimes is better than an open source. With open source code, certain agencies can find exploits and use them to track every move you make, months and years before anyone spotted it

Not exactly a better alternative.

As with the vast majority of jobs: network. Get to know people, you will get to know where they work, and they will get to know you and how you work. Eventually, if you just go through life as a helpful person, one (or several) of those people will make the connection for you, "hey, we need someone who does X. You do X, right?" You'll say, "yeah, totally, but when I saw that job listing, it said they wanted Y years of experience." And they will say, "well, I know you, you do great work, forget about that."
Turbines actively extract energy which may give them larger impact than say a building of the same size.

Anyway, as I said drag is going to be an issue. But, I think a larger issue air is never calm. So it's going to be hard to notice at low speeds because winds are often much stronger than that and going in random directions.

Still, IMO that's on the order of magnitude you would need to do things like shift a hurricane's path slightly.
I guess I'm different in that I care that people understand the pluses and minuses of the various frameworks. I think anyone can pick up a framework or solve a problem. However, can they understand why and when to use x framework to solve a problem and back up why they chose to solve the problem in the way they chose to do it.

Additionally I want someone who can be passionate about the tech stack and frameworks they are using or plan on using. Otherwise, I've got a code monkey who may get things done in the short term but their code and problem solving abilities actually has negative implications in the future when it comes time for maintenance and to add additional features to things.

I don't understand why people label others who care about their craft and the tools they use as junior/midlevel. I think that's lazy. Many times there really is a best way to solve a problem or a best framework for your particular situation or problem. All engineers should care about the tools and what is being used and why it's being used.

I guess its just not enough for me to have an answer so much as to understand why its the answer and under what conditions assumptions can fail. To me that is more valuable when hiring someone who is switching careers than being able to solve a problem in a generic sense.
Four suggestions:

1. Don't obsess over the specifics on an ad. See if the role is in line with what you have to offer, but don't worry if you don't have the exact number of years of experience they request or one of the many skills they added to what it's essentially their wishlist.

2. Provided you have a solid foundation with some standard skills like JavaScript, Python or Ruby, etc, specialize in a relatively new stack. No reasonable employer expects you to have 10 years of experience in Elixir or React.js. Note also that I used the word stack. You want to become competent enough to become useful to a team that adopts the same stack. Depending on where you live, you might go more or less niche in terms of the stack.

3. Start a blog and advertise the fact that you are looking for a junior position. Document your experience, post about what you are learning, what excites you, showcase your pet projects, etc.

4. Attend meetups. Let people know that you're available.

jim morrison split into two when he passed, one half became ian the other half became ted nugent
Frankly, I think the most important thing is to have a good resume. Apply for jobs where you don't have all the skills, chances are they'd be happy if you knew half of the things they listed, but would be willing to learn the other half. (Don't even get me started on job descriptions asking for skills that don't get used later, this happens too frequently.)

Also, apply for jobs with different frameworks where you have experience solving their type of problems. That knowledge is much more valuable on a long term basis.

Ask questions like "are you actively making contributions to this framework?" If so, you probably want to know it. If not, just remind them that it will most likely take much longer to ramp up on their (non-public) codebase, but your skill is learning things and solving problems. If you're not employee #1, a lot of the framework plumbing is probably already done for you.
Yeah, my current apartment is in the path of a small urban one for a little while in the spring and fall when the sun is in the right place. It is surprisingly annoying, but tolerable for me since it is just a short time of day for a short part of the year (and I don't get seizures, important since it seems to flash at seizure-triggering speeds). The big ones look like they are slow enough to avoid triggering seizures but would otherwise be worse, lasting longer each day and for more of the year and would be just as annoying. I never considered this side effect until it happened to me.
Why Use Super Voting Stock in Your Startup?
You're focused on the wrong thing. The resume comes way too late in the job acquisition process to really matter. The vast majority of jobs are filled through networking, not applying cold with a great resume.

You need to work on meeting people in your field, at the companies where you want to work. It's not what you know, it's who you know. Go out to meetups. Be a friendly, helpful person. Make friends, lots of them. One of them will make the connection for you at some point.

SAML doesn't get enough love. Big big companies want to use your software but really need to use their existing SAML-compatible identity provider. When you don't support it they'll move on to someone who can.

Conversely, if your organization has a SAML-compatible IdP you get to work with a vast sea of compatible software without really having to think about the integration. Exchange metadata URLs, maybe some URL templates, and you're done.

Amen to everything you and arnarbi wrote.

However, I've come to dislike building business rules using the proprietary languages of the RDBMS vendors. In particular, I use Oracle and have been making a case with my employer to stop creating ties to Oracle by using PL/SQL as our house language. While it provides some efficiencies and can sometimes make coding easier, it can stifle development as easily.

I'm all for expressing data relationships in the RDBMS and using efficiency mechanisms like indexes and cost-based optimization. However, I now prefer business rules to be expressed outside the database.

[EDIT: Corrected anarbi to arnarbi.]
It's a little annoying when companies put framework names in their job titles. Asking for a "react engineer" or a "boost programmer" will likely turn away a lot of people who would actually be a good fit for the role. My suggestion is to just be open with the company and tell them what you do know and how quickly you can get up to speed. Something like: "I haven't used React on a paid project before, but I have a lot of experience with other frontend frameworks like x/y."
