To be blunt, you appear to only be considering your own experience and are assuming you're a perfect candidate for every position you've interviewed for.

If you have been applying for positions in the US first I'd point out that your post has several grammatical errors. If you make the same in applications it's not an immediate disqualification but it's less desirable than a similar candidate with better writing skills.

Soft skills, communication, cultural fit, and humility are very important to me as a person who has performed hiring for several years in different roles. Technical skills, except for some niche areas, can be taught. Being a good human is harder to learn on the job.

If I encountered a female candidate and a male candidate that were equal in all aspects I'd likely take the female candidate first because, in general, females are under represented and having more diversity helps product teams IMO.

In short, "talent" is definitely not the top reason to hire someone outside of highly specialized fields. At least that's how I would hire.
Tangent:

When I was younger, I assumed that old (well, “old”, like 45) people couldn’t figure out how to use technology. So I’d roll my eyes as some adult seemed confused about Facebook or whatever.

Now that I’m aging out of the “young adult” category, I realized I had it wrong: I can still figure out how to use the new hot new social media app, I just don’t see why I should give a damn about any of it.

Origin | San Francisco | Full Stack Engineer | On-site

https://angel.co/originlabs/jobs/351719-full-stack-software-...

Origin is looking for well-rounded and experienced full stack ninjas as we scale production of our additive manufacturing platform in 2018. Origin is on the cusp of reshaping enterprise 3D printing, and your role will ensure that we build a truly outstanding, modern day manufacturing platform for our customers with bleeding-edge software technology. Join a small, but growing team made up of talent from places like Google, Apple, Autodesk, and Stanford.

We recently raised a large Series A from top VC funds and are rapidly growing our engineering team.

We run a tightly integrated stack between our printer firmware and cloud deployment: C++ (mainly drivers) / NodeJS / Python / React.

We're also building out an IoT data pipeline with Postgres / BigQuery and working on large-scale data analysis, and computational geometry, and 3D modeling.

If you like working on challenging problems that nobody else has tried to tackle, then please contact me directly. I am the hiring manager and I interview each applicant personally.
I worked on Jenkins at Lyft and completely set it up for DoorDash. If anybody needs help with their Jenkins setup, hit me up I give free advice and have a few blog posts on the matter.

If you happen to be using AWS, GitHub, and Slack, we at DoorDash have developed lots of goodies for streamlining things. We have secured our Jenkins behind our VPN, created load balanced Jenkins clusters, built a shared Groovy library for all of the Jenkins behaviors that are useful for each of our microservices, implemented a Flask app that receives each of the GitHub webhooks which starts pipelines instantly (rather than git polling), setup Okta integration, interfaced with our internal secrets store, and implemented a way to map GitHub users to Slack users allowing us to Slack message people when they are mentioned in GitHub (when their PR's receive LGTM's etc.) When new microservices launch, Folders automatically appear in Jenkins configured correctly for the service's pipelines.

If any of this sounds good let me know, maybe we open source some of our work. I love working on Jenkins and am happy to help advise you on how to scale, secure, demystify your own Jenkins setup. Links on my HN profile page.

I had a VIC-20, was about 12 and took to it like a duck to water. The tape drive worked flawlessly, though it did take ten minutes to find and load a program.

One long-form magazine program I tried never worked right, even after finding and fixing some bugs myself. But we neighborhood kids had hours upon hours of laughs plugging our names and bad words into the sentence generator program's DATA lines.
Closer to zero returns and you still get to improve latency hiding and memory controller design. (including bit width and block sizes)

Even more cache ways won't help too much in this workload.
The promise of telecommuting for me isn't living three miles way from my nearest neighbor, but rather living in a town of less than 10,000 people and still making six figures. I live in a town of 7,000 with a strong community and a good downtown, but I don't have to commute a half hour into the city. Instead I can wake up at 7am, walk down to the local coffee shop and chill for a bit, then go back home and work. I can pop out for lunch to the diner, and at 5 when everyone is just getting into their cars, I'm already at the local brewery unwinding.

That's the kind of lifestyle previously reserved for people living and working downtown in major cities, but can be (and for me is) a reality in small-town America. I make more money in one year than it cost me to buy my downtown, 2000 sq ft house with a two car garage and a half acre of land. And I don't have to drive anywhere unless I want to.

That's what remote working can offer. That's what small towns should be promising today.
What is a Metaclass?
A service that has a non zero operating expense (which is, pretty much everyone) cannot survive if there is no revenue from users to support that OPEX (IT/cloud costs, dev pay, etc).

You need recurrent money to run the business. It comes from ads/tracking/data and/or from subscriptions. Some business want to protect your privacy by not tracking you or serve you ads, so you should expect a non zero recurrent cost.

It can be extremely small, but it needs to be there to be profitable: the business has to cover its costs somehow, or it won't last.

> I already have enough things I have to pay for every month for the rest of my life.

So does this business to provide a service to you, for as long as you remain a customer.
Well, NewsBlur gives you all that and is open source too. It's also less expensive if you use the hosted version ($36/yr for NewsBlur vs 48€ for feediary).
Thunderbird is already good enough.
Yeah, but the GP's question - the one that's really hard - is how, not why.
Completely agreed that it takes a lot more to make a community desirable to yuppies than just fixing telecommuting. But it seems like at least some of this can change?

Smaller cities are not universally conservative. Decent coffee can be found in most places, and this didn't used to be true. Many smaller cities that get some tourist traffic have small downtowns with good restaurants; maybe not every kind of ethnic restaurant, but some good choices.

There is not a big migration of retirees to big cities, so it seems pretty clear that it's all about the jobs. Without the attraction of a big paycheck, people look for smaller "nice" cities that have enough.
My basic stance at this point is that, even with the best justification in the world for breaking encryption, governments cannot be trusted to safeguard keys.

Right. Inheritance implies contracts that include behavior, composition implies contracts that don't.

I talk of greenfielding because it's rare that the inheritance alone holds a codebase back so much that it needs to be rewritten. But code I originate is always composition based

Politicians hate to accept mistakes / policy errors. It's no surprise that Modi doesn't want to say out loud that the note ban did not go as he had hoped; some positives, but not worth all the trouble, and he'd probably have abandoned the exercise had he known the outcome, but he isn't going to say that. Perhaps a lot of people expected him to be a better statesman and feel let down. Anyway, time to move on and clean up the balance sheets of banks before the next recession that many are predicting hits.

My point precisely.

How? By consulting their gut? Why do certain people lie so frequently if lying doesn't work?

Besides, we aren't talking about lying here, only presenting true data such that it has a particular emotional appeal. The goal is not to produce any false belief or any action contrary to the audience's interest. It is only to get the audience to register the information with the organ they use to process such information effectively: their gut.

Conspiracy theory.
Under "things I tried", she lists:

> clearing my Cloudflare cache lots of times (this would temporarily fix the problem, but it would just crop up again later)

> upgrading to a new ‘realm’ on my webhost, in the hopes that there was a bad Apache server or something that I could move away from

> Making sure <!DOCTYPE html> was at the beginning of all my HTML in case that helped browsers figure it out it was HTML (it didn’t)

> Switching away from nearlyfreespeech’s “free beta bandwidth” program

> emailing Cloudflare’s support to see if they knew anything about this

> making a lot of curl requests to my webhost directly to see if I could reproduce it (I couldn’t)

The last point in this list makes it seem like the issue could probably be with Cloudflare. Considering that she spends an additional $5 per month for the Cloudflare Workers solution now, a similar thing I would've tried would be to turn off Cloudflare DNS/caching on the site for a few weeks (or longer) and observe (this can be done by turning off caching on the Cloudflare console or by changing the DNS servers on NearlyFreeSpeech.net from Cloudflare to what NFSN provides). This would add a minor cost every month, though a lot lesser than $5, IMO. If the problem shows up, then it's certainly something on NFSN. If not, then it's certainly Cloudflare.
RE: Gates. I think the distinction they're making is that Gates may have been ruthless in business but he's not like that on a personal level. Or at least he projects that image. I've no idea if this is true or not but I think that's what they were saying.

This is exactly the kind of comment I did not ask for.

If you have an anecdote yourself please share. I'm not suggesting that it works beyond anecdotes, nor the opposite.
It would seem to me that the groups "advocating drastic reductions in fossil fuel consumption" are perhaps "everyone sane." That is especially that wind and solar are quite economically viable. I'm not sure if all them were worried about nukes in the 80s.

The thing with nuclear power (or solar now) is that just having a viable alternative isn't enough. Because so much of the costs of oil is discovery and infrastructure, its price per barrel can go incredibly low when a competitor arises - much of the oil that's in ground has bought by someone already and they want to sell it for something.

With a situation like this, the only way to stop carbon emissions is regulation. The only way to stop carbon emissions is regulation (in case anyone missed that). Even if nuke were a significant power sources from the 1980s, we would be facing a climate problem if hydrocarbons were not regulated.
Don't have anything to say about your comparison, seems fair to me. One thing I personally add to it, though, is the price difference for the replacement keyboard and the difficulty of replacement procedure. Any keyboard may fail due to user spilling stuff on it, and in case of XPS, you could fairly easily splice in another one.

Non-creative data can't be copyrighted. However, Amazon can have whatever terms they like for their affiliate, bounty, and data APIs.
I'd say, arguably, yes. And not necessarily because those examples use numeracy directly - but rather because a biological numeracy would provide a foundation to an intuition that would prevent the beginner's mistakes in those examples.

I argue that that biological numeracy is a prerequisite (and a consequence) of having a properly scaled biological intuition. And those examples test that intuition.
wow, this is like the best recruiting ad I ever seen. I don't know much about security but I'm taking the AWS Sysops in 10 days. I applied because I'm curious about the challenge.
Wasn't this settled by djb? The US government can't punish you for publishing encryption software because it is protected by the first amendment.
Because I use a (Dutch) debit card. This is not a Credit Card, so it does not have a real card number (it has a 4-digit number to identify it among potential other cards issued for my account). I just checked, and was surprised to see it had an expiration date, because that does not play any role in authentication.

Note that I am coming at this from the perspective "Is payment in my country done well". So I only care about attacks against my card, and the cards of people I know.

It does seem stupid to me to have a CC number and expiration date available in plain text. But honestly, I am more amazed by that information being sufficient to authorize payment. That said, it amazes that 'upgrades' both neglect to fix the underlying issue, and fail to take it into account in their implementation.

Besides this entire story, there is an interesting issue of PIN-less tap-and-pay, which scares me more (from the dutch perspective) than plaintext data on my NFC card. It doesn't scare me enough to disable it though.

I don't think it's strange. He's both a 'character', very much in the public eye, and quite successful by some measures. I think those types of people will usually cause cult-like behavior. And while I don't have a strong opinion on Musk's achievements or on whether they're good or bad, he seems at least more deserving of a cult-like following that many others who have similar fans.
is REMOTE okay for all of these positions? I applied to St. Jude's awhile back and indicated that I would not relocate (was hoping to be remote) and never heard back.

Serotiny | Bay Area, CA | Lead Back-End Engineer (First Hire, full-time)

We're a recently funded synthetic biology company that has built the beginnings a biologically-aware API for designing novel genetic machines.

At Serotiny we invent proteins to cure cancers and genetic diseases. We help design proteins involved in CAR-T therapies, CRISPR systems and other multi-domain protein therapeutics. See https://serotiny.bio/notes/proteins/

We're looking for a first hire who wants to help architect our digital infrastructure, up to and including developing novel synthetic biology data structures and algorithms for working with them.

Our API is currently written in Go - the front-end is written with Ember. Ideally you have shipped code, want to build a company's digital infrastructure, and want to learn some biochemistry (prior knowledge not required).

Do you have a link about microcoded avx256? I would think it would be way too slow.
> There is not a big migration of retirees to big cities, so it seems pretty clear that it's all about the jobs. Without the attraction of a big paycheck, people look for smaller "nice" cities that have enough.

Could just be that retirees can't afford to live in the big cities.
I think "angry" is a bit strong, but i understand why some people overreact against musk critics. There aren't that many people on earth able to do what he's done at the moment. Same for jobs at his time. They're able to make the tech industry move forward, and at the same time provide a show for everyone to enjoy, and be inspired by (the show, not themselves, at least initialy).

This is rare. I don't think i've had the sensation of seeing humanity move forward as much as the day i saw that car fly around earth, and the two launcher get back to earth vertically. This was straight from a science fiction movie, and yet, thanks to Elon (and all the people he recruited), that was true.

This is something that should legitimately be admired, without being ashamed of it (as opposed to being a fan of certain music star).

Doesn't mean Elon should have a free rein for everything he does, and shouldn't be called overoptimistic when he is (if not borderline bullshiter). But at the minimum, we should feel grateful for what he already did.
I liked that bit where the ship's Mind is replaying the battle in slow motion for the humans.

Yeah, active attacks are where PIN-less NFC gets really scary. That said, just losing such a card is also scary.

It amazes me how timing makes it possible to detect this kind of stuff.
Yet it somehow helped you.
It violates the rule "You should never have to tell the computer something it already knows."

Not really: the contract is an explicit list of requirements with API compatibility guarantees for future versions. The computer cannot guess that from the current implementation.
