Hi All!

We’re a group of engineers that have worked in the tech industry for the last 10 years. Over that time, we all realized that the best engineering teams that we’ve all worked on have been close, tight knit groups that had a lot in common.

Every company that we’ve worked for has had an employee referral program, but the effectiveness of those programs pales in comparison to the costly external recruiter led solutions out there. Recruiters ended up making a ton of money and taking large finders fees for performing a task that was better suited to our own employees. Our goal with Sidedoor is to turn employees at every level of the company into the most effective recruiters.

With databases or anything in general, I believe in doing first and then learning the principles.

Play around with a small RDBMs like sqlite. Do a project around it. Look at the source maybe and then learn about the principles. Foundations of databases are based on discrete mathematics ( where relational comes from in RDBMs ) so a background in discrete math helps.

For enterprise level stuff ( clustering, replication, distribution, etc ), it's more practical to learn on the job where you have access to the hardware, servers, etc.

I think the problem might be even more complex than that. From what you’ve said they seem to be training AI to predict what people want and how valuable it is to them. This problem used to be the role of the giant distributed computational process know as the Free Market. Communism/Socialism famously found that problem too hard to solve and collapsed as a result. If there’s a new way to solve it, it’s both hard to argue that’s a bad thing, and a major threat to many of society’s institutions.
Range is range, your space heater idea is just a less useful plug in hybrid. Spending less money on batteries to add another system that you use a few times a year results in a generally less useful car.
>I don't have an iota of acceptance for any form of surveillance being put in place without it being approved through proper channels of well put process in place...

I don't know man?

I'm an American, so I really have no dog in this whole "Third World Viewpoint" fight. Having said that, it sounds to me like you have no problem at all with the surveillance state...

The thing that makes authoritarianism superficially attractive in the Middle East is the absolute lack of anything even loosely resembling civil-society institutions of the sorts that are ubiquitous in Western societies. Why allow basic freedoms when the people aren't going to use them for the good of society? It's a vicious cycle and a very thorny issue to address.

Ironically enough, the closest thing these folks get to actual civil society, is their religious institutions - the mosques, the madrassas and so forth. This also makes Islamic fundamentalism a lot more seductive to them than it might otherwise be, because in many ways they experience religion as the best working, least corrupt, etc. part of their society, and they naturally seek something that can replicate that relative openness and lack of corruption across the board.
It's good that you are making the effort to "deprogram"yourself.

I also put a lot of work into identifying and correcting unhealthy subconscious "programming". I've been doing it for 7 years, and continue to work at it daily. And yes, some of that programming has included judgements of others based on identity group, class, etc.

But it's included a lot of things too, including the propensity to judge other people negatively for not having undertaken the kind of work I've done, or assuming that the same subconscious attitudes that existed in me, equally exist in others.

It's not a productive or kind way to interact with people.

The most important realisation we need to make when we start understanding our inner selves is that there's so much more that we don't understand, even within ourselves, let alone others.

Given this, it's not for us to make assumptions about what exists inside others or pronouncements about what others should think or do.

Sounds like the propaganda is working, then.

> In short, the authoritarian surveillance state is an increasingly attractive proposition to large swathes of humanity.

The dark side is that people are generally far too comfortable or even gleeful at having their inconvenient neighbors "removed". They just assume it won't happen to them. By the time they realise the authoritarianism is a problem it's too late and too dangerous to complain. This is a problem even in the freest parts of the West.

> Actually, analyzing and thinking about the way you wrote this comment, it seems you're just bitter that someone found something they really liked, that gave them a sense of purpose, and now you're trying to find some way to diminish that to yourself, to make yourself feel better, without actually taking the responsibility to do something to make your life better. Which tells us that you wished you had that purpose, but you feel you don't.

Wow. You sure read a lot into someone's analysis of a writing style. One that I think accurately described the details of the piece of writing.

I think dichotomy between "formal, conscious, symbolic" and "informal, unconscious, non-symbolic" may be false. We will find out in a few hundred years when AI matures. Of course I don't think we will have an AGI based on first order logic a la 1960s efforts. On the other hand, deep neural networks are not that far from "informal, unconscious, non-symbolic", but are still based on formal and symbolic foundations.

True, I do have a clear bias for democracy.

Additionally, democracies excel in freedom, wealth, safety and stability against any other form of government in today's world. And then some.

Let me take a guess: You are living in a first world country and you are a bit unsatisfied with your life?

If the answer is yes, I extracted that solely from bias. Helpful, isn't it?

Over the past few months I've been studying mushin (no mind) with the goal of understanding the concept better, and possibly laying out proactive steps one can take to put themselves in a position to experience mushin. I'm about 70% through all the readings (Unfettered Mind, Zen in the Art of Archery, Kakusei-Mushin, some Alan Watts videos on the subject, some Zen Koan videos, and more).

So far, it's very evident that the feeling of being in a "flow state" or "just doing it" is not something that simply happens out of nowhere. A precursor to that mind state is rigorous training and practice. Zen in the Art of Archery is a great read for getting a grasp on this concept. Basically, your goal is to perform without any thought, having a clear mind without any judgments or intentions, to the point in which you become one with the action/goal (anyone who has played sports may have experienced those games in which you almost black out during a great scoring streak, not even recognizing what's happening in the moment). BUT, to get to that point, you need to learn all the proper movements and formations and build muscle memory, which requires a ton of intentional thought and analysis. Basically, you need to learn as a stepping stone to unlearning.

> It was due to interest groups

Democracy is competing interest groups. Just that they're supposed to compete nonviolently for the favour of public opinion.

Iraq should be a good lesson, though. Far too little effort has gone into understanding and explaining what was intended and how it failed, including what the weaknesses of good intent were. To me, it looks like the problem was trying to airdrop "democracy" consisting only of voting, without much thought given to parties, media, class structure, ethnic division, and economic crisis.

When I was running a Fedora desktop and was doing a lot of dev/test work on VMs+Foreman+Puppet, I used Libvirt+QEMU as the VM hypervisor.

I ran Foreman inside a CentOS VM, which talked to my desktop's Libvirtd to provision new VMs, hand out IPs via DHCP, boot via TFTP, then kickstart. It worked pretty well, and helped me to spin up a vcenter foreman controlled dev environment for a few hundred users in just a few days.

My recommendation would be Vagrant + Libvirt.

Amazon launched a product called "Amazon Drive" in 2015 ...

Unlimited cloud storage!
$11.99/year for photos and $59.99/year for everything:

https://venturebeat.com/2015/03/26/amazon-launches-two-new-c...

At the time, anyone familiar with cloud storage (Dropbox, Sync.com, Box etc.) knew that Amazon was undercutting their rivals (selling at a loss) to enter the consumer market.

Worse, many cloud providers resell AWS storage (Dropbox did at the time, and was an Amazon customer).

Amazon ran this "loss leader" for almost 2 years, hoping to drive the competition out.

In the end all they did was upset existing AWS customers, and eventually duped their own newly minted Amazon Drive customers, because they shuttered the service 2 years later (the losses started adding up on both sides):

I can't speak to these problem as I haven't used Windows in years myself. I imagine majority of the community uses Linux and MacOS hence why Windows has been an afterthought. This isn't unique to Clojure by any means either, a lot of dev tools are difficult or impossible to use on Windows from what I've seen.

Clojure now has dependency management built in with deps.tools that ships with it. It's simpler and less opinionated than lein. So, perhaps that will address the problem with getting started on Windows.

True, but in this context I meant interest groups trying to consolidate their power which they felt would be threatened through democracy. Understandable, if you know about the religious minority that ruled the country.

But making a statement about the viability of democracy because Iraq struggled to form a stable government is complete nonsense.
The country is a democracy, not a dictatorship, and a slowly failing state. The only thing keeping it from turning into an autocracy is the (eroding) faith of its educated elites in democracy. And when I refer to the less educated, I mean that literally...
Your argument and supporting comments below are not new arguments against democracy. Democracies were always attacked both from outside and inside. No system is perfect but democracy has one big advantage: it is the only system that can learn from its mistakes and improve itself. For other systems, mistakes result in people suffering or dying in masses.

Also similar maybe not as in depth situations are made in the UK, US and others. Not just China.

To put that another way, middle-class and wealthy people don't like to see poor people.

The way most places I'm aware of structure it is vehicles that don't have current registration or that can't move under their own power. That's potentially more broad than "junk" but also a more objective standard.

This sort of law can have a severe impact on poor people. Imagine you're barely getting by, then your car breaks down. This is not unlikely because as you're barely getting by, you have an older car and you're not having it maintained professionally on a rigorous schedule. It's going to be a while before you can afford the parts - let's say a "new" transmission from a junkyard. It sure would help if you didn't have to pay $100/month to keep insurance on it though. Of course, that means you have to turn in the license plate, or they'll suspend your driver's license (in certain jurisdictions).

A lot of people have to sell their car for scrap in this situation, which does not give them anywhere near enough to replace it with something reliable.
> Blanketing a city with CCTV seems to be a pragmatic trade-off for personal safety.

There isn't a theoretical problem with having a democratic surveillance state. Indeed, the major democracies basically are surveillance states. My understanding is that Britain has invested heavily with CCTV, for example.

Surveillance is a threat to personal liberty, because it makes it easier for a centralised government to control what people do and do not. Liberty has historically been a core western value, but liberty and democracy are very separate things.

> Besides, how is this different than a gasoline-powered vehicle?

My gas car has a 700mi range so its simply not an issue as I tend to not drive that long on a day trip. I have the X% fuel spare for N hours of emergency heating so long as I do say < 600mi/day. I can drive indefinitely in my gas car while keeping the fuel meter over half tank and that doesn't cause any inconvenience in terms of extra stops. Doing that with an EV (never going under say 50% charge) would be inconvenient.

The same would be true for battery cars once the range is enough. And the problem of course would exist for an ICE car with a shorter range.
Depends on the book, but in general type in every programming snippet and do most (not necessarily all) of the exercises they offer (if they have exercises, if not make your own by changing the provided code to do something else).

I have a habit of using Org mode and creating an outline of the book. Then I type in the code as I go along and use org-tangle to kick out source code that can be run. Sometimes I go ahead and set up monitors (fswatch) to see if files or directories change and run `make` or whatever is appropriate in a separate tmux pane. Stupid simple example, if it were a lisp book and one of the first programs was hello world:

* Chapter 1
Functions are declared with `defun`. Everything is in parentheses. Function being
called first, then the parameters separated by spaces, no commas. "Hello world"
looks like:

#+BEGIN_SRC lisp :tangle src/hello.lisp
(defun hello-world ()
(format t "Hello, world!~%"))
(hello-world)
#+END_SRC

`C-c C-v C-t` would spit out that file so I can run it somehow, or `C-c C-c` would execute it (since emacs and common lisp work very well together).

Ultimately, the key to learning programming is to program. You can learn a lot about a language just by reading a book, but it won't be internalized until you use it.

I don't think it has so much to do with being free as to China having growth for the last 40 years. If you're poor but becoming richer, then you're a lot more happy then someone who was rich and is now poorer. I'm curious to see how the Chinese population reacts to a recession.

> Take the fact that for many years X was being run as root on linux.

Every other driver on Linux has a kernel part and a userspace API accessed through /dev devices or syscalls. It was always unclear why X needed to be any different, but I think this was more about implementation than something fundamental to X. Of course "X" is a lot of things to a lot of people, and it depends whether we're talking about the server, the protocol, the client, the extensions, the window manager, the widget library, etc.
