With the current low cost of cloud computing, there's no reason not to just try everything and see what happens (which is why AutoML has become more popular).

It's more pragmatic than trying to rationalize which framework is "best" for a given dataset, as the results are often counterintuitive.
Some of those things don't apply outside america. E.g. in europe or japan congestion-free public transport to the airport exists and internal flights have very low security overhead.

On the other hand those places also have high speed rail.

My dad would set a pot of coffee on a timer at night. In the morning, he'd get up and pour himself a cup of coffee, pour the rest in a thermos, and set another pot of coffee, most of which also went in to the thermos, which would be empty by the end of the day.

Amazon Fulfillment Technology | Seattle, Toronto, Austin | Developers, Project Managers, Business Analysts | ONSITE (relocation available) | https://www.amazon.jobs

tl;dr: We make warehouses better. I can help you apply to a team doing cool things you like. My team is cool too.

Amazon Fulfillment Technology (AFT) is the division of Amazon focused on improving and optimizing the Amazon Fulfillment Centers (warehouses). We have teams in Seattle, Toronto and Austin. There are a lot of teams in all three offices working on interesting problems.

My team focuses on using machine learning to predict mismatches between our inventory database (where we think everything is) and reality (where things actually are). This helps ensure that when a customer orders an item they always receive their order on time. We own everything from the prediction, the work scheduling, the user experience for the tools, reporting, the whole problem from end to end.

Throughout my career here I've been mentored by incredible developers. I've always been challenged in terms of technical and personal growth. And despite what some may have said, I've never been mistreated by managers or cried at my desk :)

Want to work on a specific area? I can direct a resume to the right managers/teams. Interested in Amazon, but not Fulfillment? Happy to help you there too. Want to come work for the coolest team in Toronto, applying ML to a real world problem? There's an empty seat beside mine.

Feel free to email me any questions: this username at company name dot com. Or just apply on https://www.amazon.jobs, but that's less interesting.
You're absolutely right, and I was probably being a bit too poetic in my wording. What I mean to say more precisely is: when a corporation has a documented history of using benevolence to acquire market share, and then leveraging that market share to pivot in an anti-competitive, anti-consumer direction, then it is more rational to approach their new-found benevolence with skepticism rather than optimism.
Everything is the real problem. If we eliminated everything but transportation, we'd still be screwed. Transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, domestic energy use - we have to fix it all to stand any hope of mitigating the worst effects of climate change. We can fix it all, but that requires concerted effort.

Transportation is the biggest single source of emissions in the US, so it is entirely reasonable to make it a high-priority target.

Going through this myself right now. I joined my company as just the third developer on the team almost a decade ago, working directly under the owner. A year ago when we were up to ~15 developers I decided to move to a different state and go full remote, with the owner's blessing. Since then two more layers of management were inserted between me and the owner and communication has all but broken down.

I like the company and I like working remotely, but it may be time for a change soon because of this.
There's an attitude in the United States that any and all legal restrictions are "bad for business" and should be rejected out of hand. I think this article offers a counterpoint: even with the restrictions the article describes, these social media companies still find it worthwhile to be in the market and to invest staff and tools to work within the law. One of government's core jobs is to regulate the boundaries within which the market competes, and this is a great example of that.

Has book paper actually tended more white recently than in the past? I have a lot of older paperbacks that are quite yellow these days, but I always assumed they started out that same brilliant white and yellowed over the years to their current state. Interesting to hear that they might have started out more yellow in the first place!
It might interest you to know the sort of restrictions China has been placing on Tesla.

>[Musk] said China puts a 25 percent import duty on American cars, while the U.S. only does 2.5 percent for Chinese cars. He added that no American car company is "allowed to own even 50% of their own factory" in the Asian country, but China's auto firms can own their companies in the U.S.

Absolutely! 'LobbyCon' (colloquial name for any 'Con discussions in hallways or lobbies) is a thing. I can't really get anything like that online, regardless the platform. The closest, which is a longshot, has been IRC.

Sure, you can attend talks... However "magical" things happen when you get people with different skills all talking as equals. It's the opposite of mob mentality, where each person in a group adds to the collective intelligence and power to see further.

And yes, I just got back from Circle City Con in which I gave a talk about "SigInt for the masses: Building and Using a Signals Intelligence Platform for Less than $150". For me, it was a 1hr drive. But still, watching a video or making one online != in person.

Blip (https://www.blipbillboards.com/) | Senior Software Engineer, Junior Software Engineer, DevOps | ONSITE | Provo, UT

Blip brings adwords advertising to billboards.

Through Blip, businesses of all sizes buy billboard space where and when they want. Large advertisers use our network to advertise nationally. Smaller advertisers use us to buy billboard space without contracts and in small or even tiny increments (think pennies for seconds instead of kilo-dollars for months).

As we move from serving hundreds of billboards in the US and Canada to serving thousands globally, we need developers. Our current stack is AWS / Postgres (Heroku, Citus) / Redis / Django / Angular. We use Typescript on the front end and a bit of Rust on the back end.

>It's one of the best options. Thanks to it I'm just discusing ideas with you while lying in a garden.

Which seems like a totally detrimental use of one's time!
From the article:

> In the first type, German banks and stockbrokers bought and sold shares for foreign investors in a way which allowed them to claim a tax refund for which they were not eligible. Many question the legality of the practice.

This is more "nobody noticed they were doing it" than "it was obviously happening, and the government shrugged its shoulders." Obviously, unlike a computer, it is quite possible for humans to just not notice that you're doing an illegal thing.

> In the second (a more complicated variation), investors and banks bought and sold shares just before and just after dividends were paid. With a bit of imaginative paperwork, and by exploiting a procedure which allows more than one person or institution to simultaneously own a share, they were able to claim numerous tax refunds. The practice was outlawed in 2012.

This is a subtle loophole, which probably did not admit an easy patch without serious unintended consequences (the category for which I used Spectre as an example).

If I lose my job, I need to find a new one with a similar title within 6 months. And I can only receive a salary from one company at a time -- no paid side gigs. So it's somewhat tied to my employment status, but more like a generous H-1B and less like an L1.
Do you fasten your watch air-tight? I don't.

You can always jiggle the band a little and let water / whatever flow underneath.
If they are patient enough to try something one by one, I think a VR headset would be a great idea. If you don't already have one, you could pick up a low-end Oculus for a couple hundred bucks (and sanitize/return it afterwards, hah). Then you could take them "around the world" - there are some really cool travel/exploration apps with 360 shots of different places, and from my experience can quickly and easily provide that "wow" factor to non-techies. Probably because it's so visual.

Besides that, maybe doing a real-time demo of how fast it is to get a simple P2P chat webapp going with some off-the-shelf libs. Or an SMS webapp with Twilio, and then picking another parent maybe in the "crowd" to text live during the demo. Would be a great way to inspire them to try their hand at development, and might push a few over the edge who were already on the fence about giving it a try if they see how accessible the tools are to get started.
It has to a very small degree.

But not to the point of banning speech.
But, this is the product I want, because I sell high end used luxury watches, and chargebacks are the biggest PITA and one of the hindrances to profitable growth in that sector.

Losing out on a large chunk of a $15k transaction because the buyer thinks the condition of the watch is "not as described" (where in reality, they know this is an easy way to scrape a huge discount on their purchase because the criteria is so subjective and petty) makes life very difficult. Sure, 95% of my customers are great, but that 5% really deals material damage when you are talking about high cost physical goods.

This product offering is interesting, and is worth investigating and weighing its cost against my average annual losses from chargebacks. In your case, you are offering SaaS so your marginal cost must be negligible. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Yes. If I don't manage myself I could drink 6-8 cups. Basically I would go make a coffee, sit down, reach for the cup to drink and realize that it's already empty. Now I mix in decaf and limit myself to 5
Funny enough my experience was in fact in Switzerland, providing only German and French subtitles (not even Italian), so perhaps this is less of a corner case than I thought.
I wouldn’t phrase it as oppositional. I would phrase it as compositional. When you make decisions you’re supposed to consider your emotions and your reason. If you don’t do the latter, you’re not “favoring” emotion. You’re just not thinking critically. Thinking more helps make your emotions more useful, because you can understand why you have them.

Similarly, group identity without reason leads to particularly dumb beliefs. E.g. how some of the wealthiest people in the nation can walk into a rural community of farmers and blue collar workers and announce “I’m one of you!” to rousing applause.
Please don't take HN threads even further into ideological and nationalistic flamewar. These discussions are all the same, which makes them predictable, which makes them boring apart from the intense indignation they provoke. That is not what HN is for.

It's a reasonable and measured assumption given Microsoft's history of shady and coercive practices.
Even easier-- go to adafruit and get a circuit playground. Lots of shiny lights LED patterns, easy to program.

Also, perhaps check if their are any makers, robot groups, model rocket groups, drones (look for a meetup) in your area. There may be someone around you. You might find someone with an interesting project to bring to the event.
My experiences visiting various Taiwanese cities were so positive- can't wait to return.

It's well-documented, that the latter is the case. Not even up for debate...

> I don't think I am special or valuable.

A lot of people in tech feel like that. It's not true. Don't let the impostor syndrome affect your decisions.

> I guess I was lucky to come to U.S, but not lucky enough to stay here all my life.

If you were not Indian, you would not have this problem.

This is a great time to settle in another country. Tech is booming everywhere, and this is reflected in the immigration policies of a lot of countries.
Quality often goes down. That request process results in you getting what you ask for, not what you want.

Think about anything that you do in Excel. In what scenario do you roll with exactly what you initially start with?

I just did a preliminary capital forecast in Excel. I could have used something like Google sheets as well, but beyond that, the lack of flexibility makes purpose built solutions less able without specialized people that I don’t have or domain knowledge that I don’t possess.
This would be a cool demo to show, very "wow" factor

If your social network accounts are public, the NSA can already see them, it doesn't matter if you explicitly give them your username.

If your accounts are not public, giving them your username won't really do anything.

I'm still not sure I see the problem? "Oh no, I'm traveling through the US and now they know that I have a social network account!" ?? They already knew that if you were actually a person of interest.
There are many deep specialties that no one picks up with "extreme speed" no matter how technical they are, certainly not to the level required by companies that want to hire these skills. Think database kernel engineering or non-trivial parallel systems design. Acquiring these skills happens almost exclusively by apprenticing for years with real experts. In six months you could go from no skills to mediocre skills with a lot of training, but no one wants "mediocre" working on their database kernel for good reason.

It would be like me assuming that I, a broadly competent technical expert, could quickly and easily develop a deep expertise in e.g. high-performance graphics engines. A diagnosis of Dunning-Kruger would not be incorrect were I to make such an assertion.
>>ow would you feel if any news about US tech would instantly, and totally, be side-tracked into discussions about still on-going US American war crimes?

Fantastic actually. Shame we don't do more of that.

There's plenty of articles on HN about "is it moral to work for an IT company for a lot of money if I don't agree with their principles", yes somehow pointing out that we are literally making pretty much everything in a country that is completely fascist is...."not relevant or constructive to the topic"? Ok, sure. But it really bothers me so I will continue talking about it, unless it gets me banned from HN.

Tang speaks of propaganda and disinformation and how historic propaganda by the government is more or less indistinguishable from disinformation at least by a significant segment of the population.

...But she says that to combat disinformation campaigns the government ministries are in charge of pre-empting disinformation by disseminating their version of information...

But that seems like a contradiction. Government was a source of misinformation in the past, but now is the source of truth (as in the past). How is that reconciled? How does one know when the government is being truthful versus being propagandists?

Now, I get that the PRC has definite identifiable goals so it might be easier to suss out here, but what about other areas?
