As it turns out bombarding a generation with the idea that you just have to follow your dreams and have "passion" for your work (whatever that means), doesn't do so well when met with reality. Children/adolescents are presented with role models who are textbook examples of survivorship bias. Media is constantly bombarding them with unrealistic "inspirational" and success stories. Educational institutions have never been accused of being in-touch with reality, and chase growth with reckless abandon.

At the end of the day it falls to parents to educate their children. The assumption that the world at large has (or will ever have) your family's interests in mind is horribly naïve and negligent. Schools can mostly be trusted to educate in an academic sense, but reality is not best learned through an iPad.
One can be accurate while still being unnecessarily pedantic.
I do this all the time. I'm sure some people have issues, but my experience is that this is largely overblown
Ask HN: How does the YC invesment truly work?
I understand the deal is for $150k in a post-money SAFE for 7%, but does that mean companies only get the funds after theyve raised additional rounds? What happens if there are never anymore invesments in the company, or the founders refuse to seek additional founding?
> I wish I understood the community college path when I went to school

Same here. If you can't afford full 4 year tuition, it literally makes 0.0% sense to go to a university for 4 years, when you can go to a CC for 2, work, save some money, blow through your courses then transfer to a university.

If I could do my collegiate career over again this would be my move.

All of those are options- just, like a fellow child commentor says, they have risk associated with them (not to mention, VC funding also carries risk!)

You also have the option to crowdfund in B2C and land a major contract to fund development of an aligned product to your own in B2B.
Well, there's always option three: keep things going and pray for a technical miracle. That's the default choice and probably the road we're on.

I think society understands alcohol more than we understand weed. We know what the signs of alcohol abuse look like, more or less, and we are increasingly becoming uncomfortable with our peers regularly drinking to the point of drunkenness. It's acceptable occasionally, but even in college I see kind of a trend towards people refraining from that kind of behavior.

It's completely different for pot atm. We don't understand it but still many people think it's perfectly safe and without consequence. Now that it's legalized in Canada we can start to get ourselves informed and observe the real consequences, whatever they may be. Perhaps people will choose to refrain in the future, perhaps people will have a couple joints a week similarly to how seemingly most adults partake in alcohol now.

I also want to make it clear that I don't believe pot or alcohol are without their benefits. Alcohol certainly gives me a tangible benefit when enjoyed in small amounts occasionally. I was only trying to make a point that weed is not consequence free, that we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking it is 100% of the time.

Speculative question time: I wonder if the reason we hear about so many raids associated with white collar computer related "crimes" is related to the risk of encryption and user action eliminating evidence.

With a raid, they have a better chance at getting immediate access to running and decrypted computers, whereas with a normal warrant service that chance goes way down.

I'm curious as to what a better solution would be.
To your first point, this might be the case if your choice is an Ivy League school or a state school. But for the average student, the choice is between a state school and a private university nobody outside of the region has ever heard of.
I agree with you more than OP. In-state for me was significantly cheaper than out of state so I applied to both in/out to see offers. I got my dream school with no support (would've been like $50k/yr) but also a good school offered me a huge scholarship that reduced it to lower than my in-state or their in-state so I went there.

I basically said I got into these 5 good schools and there isn't likely a big difference to employers, so, who is giving me the most money?
Hi. I maintain the library along with some others at Elastic. That warning is essentially us being good open source citizens and being very clear about how we maintain it. A lot of these other libraries are built specifically for their own products, no different then us. We just wanted to make it clear that the direction of the library and its maintenance is primarily driven by the needs of Elastic, rather than as some general community UI kit.

All that said, it certainly works fine as a general kit, and we build it with that practicality, it's just not something we officially support.

As far as stability, my team is pretty well resourced (and growing if there are any engineers interested!). We're using the library in many places around Elastic and its not going away anytime soon.

I've looked through most of the kits out there and they all have their pros and cons. Likely our biggest selling point is that it aims to be fully accessible and comes with a lot of fun charting libs. That puts its sweet spot for use in enterprise applications. It's also completely themable with about 8 lines of Sass variables.
Exactly. Gates is being too cute by half here.

He starts by claiming that only 25% of greenhouse gases come from making electricity; a fact that is technically true but very misleading. He then goes on to name the contributors of the other 75% and almost all of them (with the exception of methane from farming) produce carbon through using energy in the form of fossil fuels.

Solving the energy production problem solves the vast majority of these other problems.

They have $280,000 frozen, and were permitted a living expenses stipend by the court. At $40 per sale, that's 7,000 potential violations of civil law that they could be convicted of.

If they'd only sold a hundred copies, they could try to contest that only $4,000 should be frozen, since that's the maximum profit possible.

That they failed to convince the court to freeze less than the full $280,000 implies either that the court already has evidence affirming at least $280,000 in potentially-illegal revenue, or that they failed to provide the court documentary evidence of total sales less than $280,000.

If your objection is that they should not have their assets frozen because the individual sale amount is low, that isn't really how "repeatedly profited from willfully violating a written agreement" works in most court systems. They freeze the money in case you're guilty and try to run with it. If you're found innocent, you'll regain access.

If your objection is that freezing their assets is inhumane, that's incorrect: they are granted a reasonable stipend from the frozen assets to ensure that they are neither hungry nor homeless for the duration of the case.

Abandon the Bay Area.

It seems to me that ethnocentricity is rampant in the bay as a sub cultural norm. For example the Bay Area is big on tolerance, but if you choose to voice political concerns that challenges the area’s popularity you will be silently shunned and ignored which counter-intuitively is intolerance. As a solid example review the firing of Brendan Eich from Mozilla. This kind of self-satisfying inward-facing deceptiveness allows any manner of isolating justification, such as ageism. In other areas wisdom and experience are rewarded commodities.

The Bay Area is also stupid expensive. You will make less money elsewhere but be instantly more wealthy. I would need to multiply my salary x3 to live the same in the Bay Area with a House half the size.

A no-frills e-ink bash terminal machine would be a delight for working through a programming book in the park. If this were more portable and got longer battery life (24+ hours) I would pay a few hundred dollars for it.
Rate-limiting would be interesting. If the cost of the service was specifically high enough to be unscalable. Like, $10 per month and you can send 200 emails per day. That’s expensive compared to anything else but fine for personal use.
Meh, unused to play GTA online a lot. On worst days (when new cheat was released or leaked or whatever, I don't know) it was almost uplayable because of players that could for example:
- Instantly kill everyone
- randomly teleporting people around
- crating explosives around players
- blocking movements of other players

Spawning UFOs, a lot of cars, attaching Christmas trees as hats or spawning a cat that follows you around on a BMX could be fun. But half of the times I spotted a cheater - he was ruining other people game.
Not all college degrees are created equal. Not all college experiences are created equally. Not all college prices are created equally.

Going to a specific college for a specific degree can be a really bad choice, while going to another for a different degree can quickly pay off. What high school graduates need is the ability to make these sorts of judgments.

For starters, they should consider getting two degrees in a 4 year period. Many students take more than 4 years to get a single degree which significantly increases loans while having less job prospects. By aiming at two degrees, a person can choose to learn something that fulfills them while also finding something they are decent at that they can tolerate for making a living if their dream job doesn't materialize.

Second, consider that some degrees are far less valuable unless you go past the undergraduate level, and so they need to take into account the cost of earning a graduate degree to see if it will pay off or not.

Third, consider scholarship offers and out of state/in state tuition costs. The cheapest college is rarely the best, but a university that will require 10k loans a year is likely to be a far better deal than one that requires 50k loans a year.

Fourth, learn to network and build references while in college.

All of these are things high schools could be better teaching their students about that would make what ever college they eventually pick a much better deal.
I find the doors which are closed by not having a degree to be ones I probably wouldn't have enjoyed. I have no degree and have had Phd's reporting to me, in Silicon Valley.

”PredictIt is a research project of Victoria University of Wellington. In order to take full advantage of the research opportunities presented by prediction markets like PredictIt, we make our data available to members of the academic community at no cost. PredictIt’s market data offers researchers a wealth of information that can be used to further our understanding of a wide array of subjects in fields of study as diverse as microeconomics, political behavior, computer science and game theory. PredictIt is excited to support the work of our researcher partners as they push the boundaries of human knowledge.”
> Another big one for me is the failure modes. What do I do when my home connection is down? How about when my connection is down and I'm traveling? What happens when the hardware fails? How about when the hardware fails 5 years from now?

This is the big obstacle preventing me (and I assume others) from moving away from cloud. Cloud services just work, everywhere, all the time (effectively). I'd love to get the privacy benefits of bringing my data "in-house" but I'm not sure I want to take on the equivalent of a part-time sysadmin job.
Nice in theory, but in practice you wouldn't implement it like that, especially if the words can be longer than your machine integer allows. Sorting and comparing is more elegant than invoking a BigNum library, imho (and has smaller footprint). This shows that theoretical elegance != implementation elegance.
I’d say the biggest obstacle is that a requisition for someone at your level is just really hard to get. It’s hard to convince people that we need an expensive gray beard. Without a requisition at your level some companies have a policy that they won’t talk to you because they don’t want to leave you with a bad experience (sounds like bs but this is true).

The view isn’t entirely just financial. People at your level challenge things and in particular challenge leaders. That’s because you should be a leader at this point, either by title or by influence. Someone like you can come in and disrupt the power dynamic, particularly if the leadership is weak (often true), and the leadership wants nothing more than to preserve itself and make its life easy.

Another piece is the more senior you are, the more the soft skills come into it and how well you’ll fit into the team. I’m not talking about skinny jeans here but rather whether your values align.

If you are trying to get VP of Engineering jobs, I’d say that few would believe that you’ll be satisfied just coming in and grinding out walls code to a spec that someone else wrote.
You did not mentioned if you teach python to kids, things that are intuitive to us are not for them, yesterday I was working with my son on Physics exercise, something like
how much Km are 1234cm (we are using metric system here) and in all similar exercises he did everything reversed, like a few centimeters are a few millions of Km which is obvious absurd but it was not easy for me to make him understand(plus the teacher at school).

My point is that something that is obvious and simple for us for someone else makes no sense(he is 12 and I don't have experience teaching other children),

For now I gave up on teaching coding to him, maybe he needs to grow a bit more to understand the abstract thinking required.
Not for me, and I graduated in the early 2000s. While community college was highly suggested as a way to start, we didn't have any in the town I went to. College was very heavily pushed.
Personally if I were in your situation I'd remove all "old" dates and just put the last say 4-6 years of experience on the resume and leave the rest off so you've just got a few years of experience just like someone with 4-6 years experience would have (it is probably also the most relevant). If you've been at the same company all that time, break it down by major projects. Also hopefully this is obvious but dont put your birthday, gender, photo, "married with 3 kids and 2 dogs" etc etc on their.

My thinking is, if there is no indication of your age ("35 years of experience", graduation dates in the 70s/80s etc), then there is less scope for unconscious bias (or just overt ageism) to creep in since there are less clues. Same with adding potentially "irrelevant" experience from older jobs - less clues for people to jump to assumptions about (both tech/industry, as well as just the age thing again)

Once you've got your resume through the bias-blockers you can then wow them with your energy and enthusiasm when you get a chance to talk to them on the phone, then wow them again when you bounce into their office and blow them away with the interview. If you do really well in the interviews, you've given them some really solid evidence of your awesomeness that they've seen with their own eyes that will be hard to ignore, even if they think (consciously or otherwise) that you are old.

Resumes are so easy to pass on when you've got a stack of them to work through (so impersonal and instantly forgettable), but interviews are "real" events with real memories and real personal interactions that - I find - helps override assumptions and unconscious biases.

Good luck!

>If you were hiring, can you tell me why you might not even do a phone interview?

Ph.D. in AI will probably scare off anyone who has a typical business app development or integration job. It's just hard to imagine someone with this level of education grinding out bugs in garbage legacy code, or calling vendors to ask why their SOAP web service doesn't work according to documentation.

Now, whether you would even care for such a job is another question. Some of them are quite challenging and require excellent system thinking skills, but there is zero glory in delivering the final product.

I'm not familiar with the specific of Bay Area job market, though.
I just had a crazy thought - so it's legal in Canada, it's legal in Washington State, but it's illegal in the eyes of the border guard separating the two because he's a US federal employee. That's seriously fascinating.

Something felt very wrong when my little sister, who graduated with a 4.5 GPA from a competitive high school (completed nearly a dozen AP courses with ease), was unable to qualify for any academic scholarships because no one wants to give academic scholarships to non-minorities anymore.

I mean, it’s not like I have direct proof, but for a girl who has placed top of her class, placed high in the national scholastic art and writing awards, was the newsletter editor for an astronomical society in high school, and is going into astrophysics at a top university, none of the dozens of academic scholarships she applied to would accept her?

Something seems very fishy to me...

I know the founders and can confidently say this is anything but a cash grab.

Also, consider this from the manager's perspective. They have to ask themselves: if this person has 35 years of experience, they must have a substantial network, so why aren't they just tapping that resource? Not a single person from this applicant's past wants to give them an interview?
