How would this solve that problem? I can't see anything in what they've suggested that will actually reduce the amount of time spent on the phone, other than eliminating a small class of short simple phone calls, e.g. "what are your opening hours".

It's also weird they're presenting this as if it's innovative and offering a product in a space to which solutions don't already exist, when they do.
Why is this downvoted? It's a rust job in an important field.

(Disclaimer: I don't work there, but I've met a couple people who do.)

Close CRM (YC W11) is hiring a senior back-end engineer – 100% remote team
This is such a fantastic analogy I'm not sure if it's funnier or scarier
Oh my, this is amazing.

I'm not sure the engineers realized despite their secrecy, it would be noticed by the press immediately after deploy.

But the best part is how Google engineers immediately on seeing it figured "oh yeah, we should do that too" (although they apparently got the necessary approvals however that was done at Google, it was easier to do because they figured "well, youtube must have done due dillegence before doing it.")

Amazing!

I don't know how they didn't all get fired. Like, ALL of em, including everyone who set up the special "OldTuber" priv long before.

But... it worked! This is a hacker story for the history books, it sounds like the kind of thing programmers did 20+ years ago for nothing except the reward of doing it right (against their own career interests), that I feel like doesn't happen so much in a more professionalized industry.

Venture Hacker | Blossom Capital | London, UK

We're building a new top-tier Series A VC for Europe.

I'm hiring for a unique profile: a developer who wants to move into venture capital, but wants to still do software development on a day-to-day basis.

You'll get to work alongside a small team with deep experience investing at and alongside the best venture capital funds in the world and operating experience from scaling unicorns globally (including Facebook, Deliveroo and Klarna).

This role is a mix of engineering and traditional venture capital work (market mapping, deal sourcing, due diligence etc.) - you don’t need to have any experience in venture capital, but understanding the startup ecosystem and fundraising is obviously a plus.

Hazel Analytics | Data Scientist | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | $100K - $150K + 0.05% - 1% equity (DOE) | https://hazelanalytics.com

Hazel Analytics is a fast-growing food tech company on a mission to create innovative products that transform the way organizations use food safety data. Founded in 2014 by prominent professors whose careers include decades of research at Stanford, UCLA, and the University of Maryland, we are the proven market leader in health department data analytics, serving nearly half of the largest 100 food retail chains.

Our Food Safety Insights (FSI) platform transforms diffuse and disparate local health department data into actionable intelligence. As a result, our customers — including Amazon, Cheesecake Factory, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Subway, Target, and Whole Foods — can rely on Hazel Analytics technology to proactively monitor food safety and regulatory compliance at over 100,000 locations that serve millions of meals every day in the US and Canada.

Hazel Analytics is a proud recipient of the 2019 Food Marketing Institute Food Safety Innovation Award and the 2016 Jack in the Box Food Safety Innovation Award. We've also had opportunities to be involved in interesting projects such as this recent collaboration with ESPN: http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/25316231/health-...

We are profitable and privately-held (i.e. no VC investors), which means your equity is worth something from day one, and you’ll be able to make a direct impact on the company's strategy and execution.

As a data scientist with Hazel Analytics, you will help identify new opportunities and develop high-impact data analytics, predictive models, and statistical tools that will generate practical and actionable inputs for our user community. You will be expected to be both a creative and critical thinker, have strong judgment in prioritization and execution, and strike a balance between moving quickly and delivering high-trust analytics. Our ideal candidate not only thinks and acts like a leader but also rolls up their sleeves to explore and implement new analytical models.

Also clearing rainforests for palm oil trees.
With the number of concerts and pro and college sporting events that are held in the Los Angeles area, they already had enough venues to handle most Olympic events. They only had to build something like two new venues (a swim center and a velodrome, I think).

They used student housing at a UCLA (and USC?) for Olympic Village. That had plenty of capacity because a lot of students go home during the summer break.

Basically, the Olympics wasn't a lot more than Los Angeles normally handles, so I'm not surprised it went off well.

Going from the average diet to becoming a vegan would save about 1 ton per person annually: http://www.greeneatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/foods-ca.... The carbon footprint in the U.S. is about 20 tons per capita annually, so going from an average diet to full vegan would save just 5%. (Just cutting out beef would capture most of those gains, reducing CO2 footprint by 0.6 tons, or 3%.) Just eating less meat, or eating organic or whatever will have zero impact. And that's assuming that switching to veganism doesn't alter your other habits. If switching to veganism means you e.g. sign up for a meal delivery service to keep things interesting, or drive to the grocery store more often to get fresh fruits and vegetables (which, unlike meat, you can't freeze in bulk), your gains will be much less.

All of this stuff about "reducing your carbon footprint" is just such a mind-boggling waste of time. To keep the temperature increase to 2C we have to cut CO2 emissions worldwide by 19 gigatons in the next decade. Instead, China added 10 gigatons in the last decade. The U.S. and EU28 together emit just 9 gigatons. In the face of those numbers, all this "turn the lights off when you leave the room" and "try to eat less meat" stuff is pissing in the ocean.

All the most important Virtual Reality announcements from yesterday
This is one of the few things Baltimore does well! We have many food 'markets' that are essentially small stalls run by independent businesses with common seating areas, tray returns, limited bussing, and open seating.

https://r.housebaltimore.com/ has become extremely popular, and several markets are being renovated with a similar approach. The prices vary somewhat depending on the type of stall, but in general they are within a fast-food price-range, not a restaurant.

I want good food when I go out. I get offending when I spend $20/person on a meal and think I could have done better at home myself for $5/person. Many of those meals are not better than what McDonalds serves for $4/person, which is a low bar (you shouldn't have trouble beating McDonald's in both taste or nutrition but few places do).

Those lines have become increasingly blurred.
I find that a lot of my knowledge work involves a kind of thinking that doesn't quite feel like proper thinking.

Adding breakpoints or log messages or refreshing constantly.

Entering search queries that are various permutations of my error message or question, and following whatever rabbit hole it sends me down.

Reading the documentation of some API, or refreshing my knowledge of a framework and/or what changed in the latest version.

Figuring out what part of my stack decided to misbehave and why, which I suppose is often a variation on the previous problem.

Writing and rewriting an email or ticket not primarily to communicate what the problem is, or how I solved it (because nobody cares), but rather to get the resources to work on the problem or offer some vague explanation of the solution all the while considering the 'political' context of the issue.

All of those do involve various degrees of thinking and creativity. I'd even go as far as saying that a big part of my effectiveness as a developer over the years is a result of getting better at those things. And it's made me respect the role of non-devs (such as managers) quite a bit more.

But to me they're mostly draining, and feel qualitatively different from, and worse than, the 'thinking' that I do when I'm trying to think of the best solution to a problem, the best way to structure my project, or even the best constructs to use in a bit of code. Or the joy of synthesizing some ideas from one book with those of another book, sometimes complicated by having to do it live, in conversation, while considering all the conversational rules too. Or even the 'thinking' involved in writing and rewriting this comment, however meaningless or pointless it is compared to, you know, all that other stuff I do that people actually ask for and/or pay me for.

I still haven't quite figured out how to categorize these two types of thinking (and optimize for the one I prefer).

But the closest I can get to the core difference is that the former is mostly about rote knowledge (repeat x until I know y, read x in the API so I understand the incantation, rewrite search query x so I get result y and remember which y is usually valuable, remember which stakeholders care about what things, etc.), while the latter actually feels like combining different pieces of knowledge in (personally) novel ways. Maybe it's a bit like the difference between high-school chemistry and mathematics?

EDIT: I'm not saying either of these types of thinking is better than the other, btw, just that I often find myself engaging in the one that doesn't 'energize' me.
This is an awful article because it doesn't put numbers on the various alternatives. Without hard numbers, the discussion of alternatives is meaningless. Even going from an average diet to fully vegan will only reduce your food-related emissions by 40%, which only accounts for about 12.5% of your carbon emissions to begin with (in the US): http://www.greeneatz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/foods-ca.... Cutting your CO2 footprint 5% is not going to do anything. Cutting it even less than that is utterly pointless.

"Doing your part" and "doing small things" will not have any impact on climate change. It ignores the enormous gap between where our emissions need to be and where they are now. If you could convince everyone in America to become a vegan tomorrow, that would cut global CO2 emissions by about a gigaton. That is how much CO2 emissions went up last year alone, mostly due to China and India. Think about that: the effect of every American undertaking an unprecedented lifestyle change all at the same time would be totally wiped out by a single year's growth globally.
