The rationale in the US law is that the crime is an equal moral failing to murder. That may be irrational to you and I, but that is the law.

Just as being an accessory to murder would be considered "very bad" so too would supporting cannabis use in any way. According to US law he is investing in a criminal enterprise, similar to funding a cartel in Mexico. The law doesn't match the common person's perception of severity, but the US border guards will enforce the law as written.

Again, none of this prevents you from merely learning about cannabis. It requires action of some sort to further the use of it.
You sound extremely out of touch and not serious. Why did you even interview for this job that you weren’t ready to take for 6+ months?
It was hard to take the person seriously after they said that, but I guess Twitter is the place for hyperbole.

Not using Macs, it would seem.

Pretty much every other option looks better.
The banking system was creating money in various forms outside of QE. That was just a well known mechanism.

The main way it's created is through loans, many of which end up in housing. And rampant speculation on apparently ever-rising house prices is where the financial crisis started. Ripples expanding ever outwards ...
> Most didn't.

Directly counter to my experience.

> But you didn't use your name as your nick did you? I never did.

Many of us did, many didn't but left their real name readily accessible by e.g. making our e-mail visible and having Finger enabled.

> The same thing with BBS.

Most of the BBS's I used asked for real names, and from meeting people at BBS meets I know most of the people I spoke to on BBS's were truthful.

> No. Even before the media generated panic ( of primarily AOL ), you weren't encouraged to use your real name. Of course after you talked to people and got to know them, nothing stopped you from exchanging numbers. But that wasn't the norm.

Again, completely counter to my experience. You weren't "encouraged" in most cases, so much as copied what other people did, and most people around me used our real names all over the place.

> I can't believe you brought up irc. There is a reason why in irc you used your "nick". The culture of irc was anonymity. IRC clients and many channels discouraged using your real name.

Not the ones I spent most of my time on. That became more prevalent later, and in certain circles. Certainly if you were spreading warez etc., yes.
I wonder how someone would have made out with a simple strategy like, Buy TSLA on bad news, and sell when the quote is at least 85% of price targets?

DefenseStorm | Senior Software Engineer, Junior Software Engineer | Full-Time | ONSITE | Seattle | https://www.defensestorm.com/
At DefenseStorm, we help detect and stop cyberattacks for small and mid-size community banks and credit unions.

Networks make a lot of logs - some of them are very important but there is huge volume of noise. We ingest all of our customers’ network logs, and allow customers to quickly search through them, set alerts, investigate threats, and generate reports. Our product makes it easy to track and demonstrate compliance with financial cybersecurity regulations and guidelines - which has shortened many of our customers’ arduous ~3 month audit preparations to just a couple weeks. Our customers are very happy, which makes work more fun.

I actually got hired here through an HN Who’s Hiring post about 3 years ago!

We are looking for Junior and Senior Software Engineers. Our stack is primarily Java, Elasticsearch, AWS, Angular, Typescript. Dev-ops and cybersecurity experience are ideal, but not required. We’re big on code review - we use phabricator. We have great monitoring and a nice CI system so deployment is mostly painless while still being safe. Really good engineering culture: you will learn and become a better programmer by working with this team - I have.

Dog friendly office! Every Tuesday we do a ‘Topic Sync’ to share knowledge on technical topics for an hour - nice way to continue learning. Keg, espresso machine, wall of snacks. Free lunches on Wednesday. It’s a fun place to work.

Ask HN: I run my own business but I don't do sales calls. Should I hire?
Backstory: I run my own software business. It is an API platform directed at developers and most of the content is highly technical. I started the company a few years ago. I'm the solo founder and it nets me a healthy salary. I handle support. I have started to see an increase in interest from large businesses and enterprises; I'm unsure if I want these high-touch customers.

Problem: I do not do sales calls or demos.

I have yet to be able to close a deal whenever I do sales calls, thus I have recently begun opting out of them all together. I have the aforementioned larger companies reach out to sales@, but I tell them we do not provide phone support or sales calls. However, we do provide email and live chat support.

This restriction is usually not an issue for small to medium businesses, but I'm realizing that it is an issue for larger businesses.

I believe my main hesitation with sales and demos is that it makes me uncomfortable (social anxiety?) and it has never resulted in a sale, only lost time. I also do not enjoy the long sales processes spread over several calls spanning several weeks.

I prefer to keep sales and support text-based so that I can answer on my own time, and also refer back and reduce support load in the future for duplicate scenarios.

Is this such a bad move? Do I look unprofessional when giving said answer? Should I look into hiring a part time sales person to handle these calls and provide demos of the platform?
Those 2 tracks are typically disentangled. I encourage you to check out MBA curriculum.

Like most degree programs, there's a core set of business classes and a variety of electives allowing you to specialize[1].

All of these engines (Unreal, Unity, etc.) are written as monolithic "frameworks" that want to own the top loop and have you override certain bits to customize behavior. Also, the nature of games requires that various components (graphics, physics, ai, networking, etc.) are tightly coupled together. So, no, you're in a world of pain if you want to use Unreal and not do things "the Unreal way".

---

Honestly though, I see nothing here that couldn't be done in any modern engine out of the box though. They can all stream assets in and out of the level asynchronously (for "infinite extent" levels), build meshes/textures programmatically, support fully dynamic lights, etc. If you have some requirement for procedural generation that isn't supported out of the box (e.g. baking lightmaps at runtime), surely it'd be easier to just write that part yourself and inject it into the existing pipeline.

This isn’t all that surprising. MBA applications went up during the last recession.

If you’re working and getting good opportunities and comp, why not keep going? It’s not like you can’t go get an MBA later.
> here they must get in line with all of the others applying

For most people there is no line to get in. There is a line for close family of US citizens [1]. Employment visas for people with specific occupations, visas for exceptional people, investors etc...

The only thing that the vast majority of people could qualify for is the diversity visa--50k are awarded each year. But you don't qualify if you come from a country that sent more than 50k immigrants to the US within the last year (most large countries).

There are also 30k a year admitted under refuge programs as well, but most people won't qualify for that either.

If you are accepted you need to make 1.5x the Federal Poverty level (other than refugees), pass a background check and a civil surgeons exam.

>but it's because of all of the people jumping the line which interferes with the quotas set for legal immigrants and clogs the system

People "jumping in line" (I assume you mean entering without authorization or overstaying visas) has nothing to do with how long you have to "wait in line" because there is no line for most people to wait in, and people who are waiting in some kind of line aren't held back by people breaking immigration laws.

1. Spouses, parents and children. Siblings also qualify but the wait is extremely long for most people--up to 20 years for people countries with a lot of immigrants to the US.
Apple apparently has a policy against speaking negatively about Apple. This has made some AppleCare calls frustrating as they would not speak or address some issues. I imagine this is at play here, as acknowledging a failure on Apple's part would be speaking negatively about Apple.

We’re hiring! United Income is a fintech startup looking to add engineering talent to our team. Email us at engineering@unitedincome.com if this describes you.

• Do you care about delivering quality product to your users?

I "was" in the same boat as you so don't feel bad. For the past few months I've been writing unit tests.

My application has the ability to receive commands and send telemetry back over a socket to a user interface. This exposes several features in how I can test it's functionality which makes writing unit tests much easier. Good code is code that can be tested well!

Something that isn't taught but is more so learned (I've personally noticed) is architecting your software to be testable. This has really made me think about how I should write code to not just "do it's intended purpose" but also "in how it will get tested".
