Worldwide, REMOTE, full time or part time -- 100% flexibility. $70-100/hr. Expert Interviewer at Karat (https://karat.io)

Work from anywhere in the world that has a solid internet connection. Work as much or as little as you want. Work any day, any time of day, any number of hours -- you can do 0 one week, 50 the next week, and back to 0 the next week. Only requirement there is that we want you to roughly average at least 10 hours a week, or else the training/time investment doesn't make as much sense from your end or ours.

I know the above might sound a little strange, so a bit about the company for context: Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round phone screens. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off. We've done a lot to make the interview experience better for all stakeholders that I could write whole essays about, but suffice it to say that candidates love working with us, clients love working with us, and we're well-funded and growing quickly as a result.

Because of this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Expert Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal English skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.

Some of our interviewers are freelancers who use our scheduling model to backfill hours; others are full timers at top tech companies looking to make some extra cash; others have quit their jobs to work with us full time; some are digital nomads; one of our interviewers is road tripping around North America for a year and a half, doing anywhere from zero to 40 interviews each week depending on where he is and what the weather's like.

The application form is here: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...

I know it's a pretty unique job, so if you have any questions reply here or email me at josh@karat.io and I'm happy to talk through any of it.

P.S. We're also hiring for our internal team -- particularly looking for senior engineers right now; for those we generally prefer local (Seattle) candidates, though we do cover relocation. More details on those here: https://karat.io/careers, or feel free to email me if you have any questions.

On a number of occasions, as a (software) program manager at several very large firms, I was tasked with taking every single piece of work that happened in the previous calendar year and seeing whether we could classify it as 'R&D' in order to qualify for one of the many tax breaks on offer in the various places that we did business.

The criteria for qualification usually boiled down to 'was there an element of unknown quantity in the project?' - which left enormous room for interpretation, as basically anything that wasn't maintenance (RTB) could be justified.

We would regularly, across the firm, get $50m tax benefits a year out of this effort.

I'm not an accountant, but I'd be interested in just how rigorous the notion of 'R&D' is in a company's annual returns. It smells of PR to me.
This is something close to what I work with. Ten years ago we started an organisation to help international development organisations use IT tools more effectively. In 2012 we took over the development and operation of a field data collection system from Water for People and together with them released it under an open source license. We work with 20+ governments and 200+ international NGOs in providing them with data solutions.

In my opinion, using data in international development work to see what is effective and how you can improve the work, has by a surprising number of people working in the sector, not been seen as particularly important. This is changing.

The awareness that more and better data, as well as the understanding how to handle the data and working on a sustainable technical infrastructure, has existed for some time in the sector, but has been slow to come to the forefront. At the end of the work with the Millennium Development Goals [1] an independent expert group was set up to give advice to the UN Secretary General [2] and to highlight this problem (Tim O’Reilly was probably the only person you would recognise that was part of the group).

But to actually get the sector to change has been very slow progress. An analysis by a group of organisations have identified the underspending on data and analytics that is essentially endemic. [4] They estimate that to be able to track the indicators chosen for the Sustainable Development Goals [4] we need to spend some US$ 350-500 million/year more than we do today.

(Not that all the indicators in the SDGs are that easy to measure and track. A colleague in the sector said “Of the full set of indicators (232), 88 are not backed up by available data or a suitable method to gather it, and 55 have some form of method but no data. […] Many of them are bordering on the realm of the unmeasurable”.) [5]

However, there is a change coming, but I don’t think it is happening fast enough. My opinion is that we won’t be able to achieve the SDGs for 2030 without data and we are not investing enough.

As part of our work we have since 2012 helped 11 governments collect data about water access and sanitation to cover about 130 million people, mainly in West and East Africa, in South East Asia and the Pacific. And we are working with organisations such as UNICEF and WHO, together with governments, to approach this in a systematic way with long term sustainability for the processes and systems that get put in place, but it is an uphill struggle.

> Anyone can go build a crawler and scrape the web the way Google scrapes it so they can compete with Google.

They cannot. Googlebot & some other search engine bots (like Bing's & Yandex's) get special treatment in various websites. This includes things like ban on non-whitelisted scrapers & bypassing paywalls. If you are not already established player in the field, you would not get able to scrape the same websites as the established players can.
> Yet this cannot last. At 15 years old, 4chan has reached adolescence. Up till now, trolls—children—have been in control. It’s not so funny anymore. After all, even the lost boys had to grow up.

Just because one can write that it cannot last doesn't make it so. Putting 4chan in terms of "human age" and development does little to quantify anything. Facebook is 14 and Twitter is 12 and that doesn't say anything about them. They all have their own problems, but if this age metaphor is to work, then 4chan should be "more mature" than its younger siblings. It isn't.

4chan is also not going anywhere fast. Someone seems inclined to still pay for the servers, and until that time stops, it's probably going to say well and truly the same. That's just what you get when you have an anonymous imageboard. But, even if something happened and 4chan shutdown, you'd still have any number of chans that still exist as clones. It's trivial to find them. You can close the pool, but there are infinite pools to close.

Because when government doesn't work, you generally don't have the option to go down the street and pick another government.
Doesn't really save you anything; DTLS still involves a connection with a handshake, so you have increased latency and memory overhead. Its usefulness is in low latency transport where head-of-line blocking would be detrimental (e.g. real-time streaming video; phone calls; VPNs).

DNSCurve, by comparison, is connection-less -- meaning no handshake latency, no connection overhead, and denial-of-service resilience.

Which is why I specifically excluded that consideration.
Some jobs generate less value for businesses than the arbitrary amount you deem to be a "livable wage." That's economics.
It’s telling that the only place in the entire article you see Apple’s chips mentioned is one performance graph, where the new ARM chip at top speed (which Anand doesn’t think is reasonable) matches the 2 year old Apple chip.

In power savings (where ARM claims 40% better) we don’t see a comparison to Apple either.

Early in the article they say ARM claims the new chip is far beyond any of their (unnamed) competitors.

It seems clear they don’t consider Apple competition. Possibly because it would make them look much worse.

Obviously no one else can buy Apple chips for their products, but it seems disingenuous to claim you have the most efficient chip by ignoring the one you’re just now catching up to.
Is it really? Or is that your take? You could just as easily say that it's biased toward candidates who work effectively with a broader range of people.
The way I read it is people would follow this method if the data was more readily available and the issue is access to data.
I like your attitude, but I’m afraid your comment will be downvoted to death pretty soon.
You kind of get that with qt as well. How about mobile?
That is kinda sad to hear. The approach should always be to go through the path of least resistance and smallest effect on the website. So for example, if a company has API that can be used instead of scraping their website, then it's always preferred to use the API. Same would go for the XML you mentioned.

It's bad that not everyone works like this; there are quite a lot of people who would rather brute-force a solution than think about it.
"Why is democracy is such a popular system for establishing governments?"

Here's an answer that I find satisfying but about which I think reasonable people could disagree:

In the US, at least, "democracy" works tremendously well for distributing the narrative that individual rational actors are the main and only political units.

Your example of a family is quite useful in illustrating that there are limitations to that view, regardless of how useful or destructive that view may be.

However, the utility of that view for maintaining the material situation of labor in the US is high.

That is, individualism as an idea is a useful tool for people with money and power to convince large groups of people that the division of wealth in the country is entirely the product of aggregate individual choices rather than the product of a system that is designed for the rich to get richer.

The truth of that proposition aside, I understand that utility to be the underlying historical motivation for people in the US to try and export their brand of democracy.

The capacitor plague is a whole separate event. As bwldrbst explained, this is a specific problem with the SMT capacitors that Apple used in everything during that time period. The through-hole capacitors used for example in the Mac SE and earlier haven't had the problems with leaking. (Speaking only of the capacitors on the logic board... the larger capacitors on the analog board and power supplies are leaking too.)
Ask HN: Good blogs or books about growth hacking with Twitter?
For the next few months I need to focus on product development & fundraising. Twitter is the only social channel we rely on for growth, and I’m thinking about outsourcing it to a summer intern who spontaneously landed in our path. He has zero experience with Twitter, so I’d love some good reading materials to get him started thinking about growth & metrics focused social media marketing. Not my specialty at all, so would appreciate any general feedback on this plan.
I am not sure I understand. If EMH was true, they should perform the same, no?

I would argue that belief in EMH is supported by existence of index funds. But index funds are also supported by laws that require certain level of openness and information sharing (such as laws against insider trading). When this information sharing is not enforced by law, it is a major source of market inefficiencies.
The Cult of the Complex
The upside for anything like this is that the barrier to entry being higher, the people who do this tend to create higher quality things overall and maybe even share them.

It's not my idea, it's the premise from

Nice. The VTOL is a cute feature, though it might account for its lower range.
I've tried obtaining a cert from K Software before and they have the same Dun And Bradstreet requirement which was impossible to get right so I just abandoned them.
I believe they used to charge a hefty license fee for it.

It would be really interesting to compare the real world performance of Jd versus kdb+.
My logic concludes no such thing.

Assuming you believe that genetics plays a role in our skills and traits, then luck also plays a role. A person has no control over their genetics.

A person also has no control over the economic status of their parents, the area of the world they are born in, whether they receive proper nutrition as a child, what kind of education they get as a child, and an infinite number of other factors that contribute to whether they will end up rich or poor.

Yes, hard work is important to becoming wealthy in most cases, but there are so many factors that people dismiss when they say that luck has a small role.
When I shifted to Elixir/Phoenix 1.3 I found the whole naming contexts thing to be super difficult and confusing. This is the method I use now, but I'm sure it could use refinement. I still need to read Eric Evan's book [1] but I'd be open to other suggestions for further reading.

That’s not unexpected, but still a bit sad.

Incidentally, Cosina also made the rangefinder I’d dub the Leica M7.5 - the Zeiss Ikon-branded ZM. Wonderful camera.

As far as rangefinders go, the ZM IMHO is the one to beat, in close competition with the Contax G2. (Autofocus! In a rangefinder!)
I mean, at some point you take the first photo of your kid. If it threw that away, then when you take the second photo, there's nothing to group with and it throws that away too.

Pretty useless if it throws away singleton sets.
Sure. Luckily the blogs written by the two categories are fairly easy to tell apart. Even checking if the domain is medium.com or something else is a good first estimate, but to be sure you should look at the content.
In New Zealand I used to get attacked regularly by magpies, a large and aggressive crow-like bird, while riding my bike near trees where they were presumably nesting. They'd come at you from behind and swoop at your head, either passing very close to scare you, or even clawing at my helmet as they passed. Very frightening if you're not expecting it!

Apparently on some occasions people would get attacked seriously enough to draw blood. The weird thing is that as soon as you got off your bike and pushed it, they'd be scared off and wouldn't come near you. But something about bike riding seemed to drive them insane...
Currently reading "The Making Of The Atomic Bomb" and it's so comprehensive.
Not your desired behavior precisely, but Emacs does support recursive edits https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RecursiveEditPreservingWindo...
From the article: The most accountable people have singular, public, and risky brands: Oprah, Trump, Kanye, Elon

Trump is one of the "most accountable people"? This sentence threatens to invalidate the entire article.
it worked after a few tries for me. I believe its just serverload, keep trying or try later
