>Kraftwerk is not dance music.

It's an American thing. Popular US audiences after having discovered electronic/dance music in the mid 2000s (after 20+ years of it being huge in Europe [1]), they call everything "EDM".

Stuff for which Europe has names for decades, and has split into 10s of genres (from techno, house, and trance, to garage, 2-step, hardstep, dubstep, goa-trance, big beat, and dozens of others). is all bundled under the "EDM" moniker. Whereas in Europe, if used at all, the term EDM would refer to the BS played at big festivals...

[1] Of course Techno and House originated in the US, but compared to Europe they have been fringe there for the longest time, it was all rock/country/soul/hip hop in the US as far as popular audiences are concerned. In the US those genres were only for clubs (and not that many at that), not charts...
"There should be one — and preferably only one — obvious way to do it.”

In practice, perl came closer to achieving this than python.

This is entirely your opinion, and you don't even explain why. DDG's !bang syntax let's me get where I want to be way faster than a Google search + clicking a result. The lack of user profiling means that I can get less biased results (biased meaning tailored to what Google thinks I want to see, which is NOT always what I want).

Edit: Not to mention, I hate searching for something on a whim and then having ads served to me for the next few months as if that one random search query is a defining feature of me.
This 1 million percent!

There is a real danger someone will come in, shout a lot and say the answer is to now re-write it all or buy in a system, maybe even outsource it to save money.

Don't fall for it - have good tests and incrementally improve what doesn't work - don't listen to dreams of how easy life will be "if only you had a good system" - what you have works, and has scaled to 40k users - past that who knows but you can always copy/mirror everything you have and support 80k users etc.

More time could have been spent reducing launch costs and working on reusability, but the cost of a rocket is not the most expensive part of commercial space systems. In any case, there has been a lot of innovation. Materials, electric propulsion, guidance/nav, instrumentation and sensors, to name a few. That's also 50 years of science and understanding of the solar system. That's knowledge and instrumentation that can keep astronauts from getting killed by a solar flare, since your focus seems to be crewed spaceflight.
Unless you personally wrote the code and built the hardware you still have a trust relationship.

True but other countries also let poor countries burn the oil and do nothing useful with the money.
> though I’m kind of morally opposed to a government function like that.

Yes, it's much better for the government to allow a single person to appropriate all that wealth for themselves. /s
> without even once mentioning the real reason: excessively low interest rates forced on us by the Fed.

No. The real reason is that interest (usury) exists in the first place. It is prohibited in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism for a reason. And I wouldn't be surprised if it were also prohibited in other religions.

An economic system that relies on usury is exploitative and predatory. The rich get reacher with basically no risk on their part, and the poor are left to struggle. Eventually the cycle completes and the entire system crashes as we've seen it happen many times now.

TalkJS lets developers build custom chat features in hours instead of months. We're product driven and we power communication inside online marketplaces, community sites, trading platforms and so on.

JUNIOR PROGRAMMER WHO CAN WRITE

We're looking for someone who's great at writing, pretty good at coding, and wants to get better at the latter.

* Has demonstrable experience growing B2B SaaS inbound
* Has sufficient tech skills to set up analytics pipelines
* Proactively iterates and experiments
* Can write
* Wants to jump on a rocket ship that's just taking off²

Bonus points if you can code a bit. We offer you an opportunity to start, build, and lead our marketing team as we grow. Significant equity is on the table, as well as the chance to work in a great collaborative, open, and constructive distributed team culture.

Apply by sending an email to hey@talkjs.com. Mention something you've helped grow and include something you've written. This can be anything that shows your ability to enthuse: a blog post or a landing page or even a flyer for the local christmas fair.

²) I'm well aware that this is a platitude, but in our case it's really quite true and it wasn't half a year ago. We're blowing up and we need your help :-)

Senior Software Engineer - 3D Perception (C++, Python, LiDAR, Computer Vision)
https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/1401870554/

Allvision is looking for a talented, software-focused engineer to join the team building our 3D object detection and classification pipeline. These components are built to ingest, fuse, compress, and analyze massive amounts of vehicle-mounted sensor data quickly and cost-effectively. To do this well, we must deeply understand not only the sensors themselves (LiDAR, photo/video, GPS, IMU, radar) but also how to efficiently and intelligently process their measurements into useful information. We achieve this through novel approaches to 3D scene understanding using machine learning and cloud computing.

LeanTaaS | Software Engineer, Data Scientist, DevOps Engineer, QA Engineer, QA Lead / Release Manager, Product Manager | Charlotte, NC OR Santa Clara, CA | Onsite | Fulltime

We're hiring backend Python and Java developers, frontend Angular developers, QA engineers, data scientists, data engineers and more. Job openings can be filled in Santa Clara or Charlotte, NC.

https://hire.withgoogle.com/public/jobs/leantaascom

Everyone complains that our healthcare system is inefficient and costly. If the idea of working with smart people to actually solve the problem and make it significantly better for our future generations seems worth your time, reach out to me directly at sanjeev.a@leantaas.com and I'll put you in touch with the right hiring manager.

We're a Series C funded healthcare tech company based in Silicon Valley obsessed about making our hospitals more efficient with data science and machine learning. 65+ healthcare organizations including the likes of Stanford, Duke, NYP, Dignity, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Tenet and more rely on our products to lower patient wait times, improve staff satisfaction and overall financial performance.

Our team includes successful entrepreneurs, engineers, product managers and data scientists from Google, LinkedIn, Apple, Symantec MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Google, McKinsey, and more. We've raised $55 million to date from top tier VCs in Silicon Valley. CBInsights recently named us among the top 100 AI companies in the world.

On the data engineering side, our stack is Airflow/Python. On the web services side, our stack is Java/Play and Angular 2/Typescript. There's also a Python/Flask product. We're fully cloud hosted on AWS and leverage modern tooling and automation to produce high quality code - and we ship every week!

Our vision is to build an "Air Traffic Control" for hospitals - a centralized command and control center that routes the right information to the right department as patients flow through the system - if we get that right, we'll be able to significantly make our hospitals more efficient and eliminate waiting and wastage and solve the problem once and for all.

How do you deal with the room acoustics in this situation?
Not sure this throwaway HN account is responsible for your obnoxious un-fan-mail; though I'd be reasonably interested to hear if any of them mentioned links in HN comments specifically.

Alas, writing a blog post about how nobody will hire you and give interview feedback is a sure-fire way to get an abundance of unwanted interview critique for an interview you never did. If I ever find myself with an over-abundance of faith in humanity, I might just do this with a fake name, email and CV and see what gems of human garbage get thrown at me.

On the upside, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that #3, #4 and #5 are absolutely on the money, and all boil down to ease (or, depending on your bias, laziness). It's not easy telling someone their faults - unless it's in an anonymous email to a random stranger on the internet, clearly - and it's far easier for a recruiter to throw cvs / job opportunities everywhere and see what sticks, than to actually be careful and methodical.

You mentioned it's a lot like dating; essentially, many recruiters are the equivalent of those dating gurus who show you how to become an alpha and promote a mixture of negging and other horrible practices; it works based on percentages, not based on content. If 1% of potential partners have low enough self esteem, and you attack 1000 people, you're almost guaranteed to find someone. Lose your soul, find a bed-buddy. To some people, that seems like a good tradeoff. If you spam enough people about your opportunity - often at no cost to yourself - you're bound to get one hit, often at significant profit.

I'm afraid this is never going to change; hedging a critical message so that it doesn't hurt someone's feelings is hard, especially when there is no incentive; letting someone know your budget for their role and missing out on an unreasonable bargain is hard, especially when there is no incentive; and putting real work into recruitment when email spam is just soooo easy is hard, no incentive.

Our only option is to be the change. I'm lucky that I work for a company that values giving recruitment feedback; when people I know well broadcast job opportunities I encourage them to publish a ballpark salary; and when I find a good recruiter I broadcast them far and wide and review them positively on LinkedIn. It might not change the world, but it might help a few.

The problem with that, is the story doesn't stop at "You" when another person can get enough information to act as you in a legal sense.

To me, this entire industry reeks of people engaging in risky behavior, but trying to externalize the costs/risks of said risky behavior, and consequemces be damned. Furthermore, they want the agency that gets externalized to "make money", something which encourages the minimum amount of investment humanly possible in making sure they are actually solving the problem in a way that doesn't merely create new ones.

Furthermore, it seems to me that the financial sector is eating the bloody world; as the metrics they gather are being gleefully used as discriminators in far more than just loan granting.

The system is either so critical to the way the economy works, that we should be willing to "sink" money in the interests of making the system as effective as possible (I.e. no dark pattern B.S., easy to use controls, easy to manage all interactions with, and maintained to the highest degree of security), or it isn't, and a discussion needs to be had whether having such valuable pots of exploitable data is something we should even tolerate as an acceptable exercise.

To be quite honest, I've seen more harm than good come out of the system given the ubiquity of the Credit history "bootstrap" problem, and now the compromise of a huge portion of the American population's personal data.

Trying to couch this as merely a case of "oh, we just need more contracts" without addressing the central problem of your identity essentially being hijacked by a bunch of for profit involuntary surveillance companies operating under an incentive structure pushing minimum viable effort in protecting your data, ensuring it's correctness, and restricting access to only appropriate reasons.

Throw in the failure of the FTC to clearly levy a strong enough penalty leaves me feeling this industry is a social liability in it's current form.
You had _me_ until you claimed this was a "good deterrent."

$5 billion is a bit over ten percent of 2018 revenue. It's not enough to keep anyone up at night or, more importantly, convince them to do anything substantive _at all_ to improve privacy - because their revenue is _growing_ much more than $5bn a year.
As I understand it, Apple devices don't start sending audio data to Apple until you say "Hey Siri" (which is interpreted on the device). It may not be as explicit as pushing a button, but it seems close.
