This point of view confuses me. If you single one three candidates I would rather have the entire profile. Sales experience could be a proxy for leadership / sub store experience shows a basic level of dealing with various people and the unexpected.

If the problem is you don't want to read everything by everyone then just read the first three and make your decision. You don't have to physically scroll if you feel you learned enough.

Try asking for a summary of the important information in the job ad. How many years - ruby. last three jobs, school. It will be easier to filter them that way.

I think this is the largest necessity for those truly invested in a truly random performing system.

The truly random system can also provide more sophisticated simulation / effects of said simulation.

Think of trying to programmatically trying to solve unbound equations / millennium problems. Anything involved in testing to deal with chaos would not be accurately represented until a true random is created.

Now what is true random, and does true random exist is a whole other topic of conversation.
This article seems to be written by some fkng "agile coach"
"But there was no “defecation crisis”—a term usually associated with rural India—in the 1930s, even with unemployment at 25%, vagabonds roaming the country, and shantytowns and “Hoovervilles” springing up everywhere."

[citation needed]

Bodily waste has been a huge problem for shantytowns across all of recorded history. I doubt that Hoovervilles had some unique solution to the problem that has not been replicated since.
The modern pronunciation of “g” as “v” in certain words appears not earlier than in XVII century in Moscow dialect of Russian. It eventually spread across the empire and became literary norm, but in the church and in some regions you may still hear old spelling sometimes.
He also wrote a short piece comparing operating systems to religion which is is quite amusing. It boils down to:

Windows = Protestantism
Macs = Christian
Unix = Talmudic

Polar Plots in Python
I would start with arduino, not raspberry pi. I don't think raspberry pi's are very good or fun as "maker" projects and end up being too specialized or overwhelming because of the OS.

I've learned more and had much more fun making little toys, programming basic displays, getting sensor data, etc with arduino and other microcontroller development boards. There is too much already going on in a raspberry pi for it to really be a "blank canvas" for maker projects. Hence you see all of these projects where they are essentially repurposing the existing rpi, not creating their own thing with it. Its not really a "maker" project. Its more like building a computer.

Plus, you will find way more true maker projects targeted for kids for microcontroller development than you would for raspberry pi.

Plus, Arduino has a specialized c/c++ library for it which makes things just awesome for starting out. It's like writing python - stupid easy.
It's because these stories direct the narrative in such way that goes a bad thing happened but it all turned out okay in the end.

"Such a terrible {condition/experience/situation} -> But look they {over came/received crowdfunding/received support}. Everything is okay, and aren't you moved by the {courage/support} of this story?"

Instead of saying all of that AND then also noting

"And this child who clearly needs a walker, would not have been able to get one due to an INSANE cost of {price}, yet when a suitable replacement came about from literally a hardware store costing {price}? Why is our healthcare charging 50x more " etc etc

Do you see where thats really fucked up now? All of these stories typically and conveniently skip over the root causes of these issues -> Where did the {tragedy/trial} come from?

The defecation crisis is see is the eagerness of law fearing citizens to put a substance that decomposes back into nature in about a week, into a plastic bag that will still have its contents nicely stored, and brewing, ready to be freed, for years to come.

I'll admit, the headline and the general comments here biased me to waving my fist at the clouds and shouting "hell yeah! These youngsters don't appreciate tradition no more!", BUT, the examples in the article are actually reasonable.

As mentioned elsewhere in the comments here, hiring is a two-way street. Certain industries and professions don't appreciate this creative approach, however young folks entering the workforce are fighting to be seen above the crowds. If your company is particular about specific information and formatting, use an applicant tracking system and/or job board that forces your applicants to apply your way. But if you ask for resumes to an email account, or if colleges are still requesting "resume drops" for firms looking to hire on-campus, then folks are going to try grab attention to move the process forward in any way they can.
In a hypothetical world where you can convince people that spending a few trillion like that is a great idea, yes. In the real world, stuff like this goes a lot smoother if there's a plan to get some form of ROI. An investment without a economical return is more of an expense than an investment. I'd say other geoengineering projects have a better chance of getting funded because there's an obvious ROI.

Collecting and Managing URLs from the Interwebs
I'm collecting URLs from the length and breadth of the interweb. I want to tag them and have them searchable and sortable by tag and any combination of tags.

Currently I'm using a large text file and *nix command line facilities.

What are other options exist?
The concern with this and other products is that amazon will drive DOWN margins. THAT is the seller worry / complaint. Driving down margins is not price fixing.

Amazon provides a promise that it will pay folks a minimum price for their products, revisited periodically. That is the same thing any other retailer does with their suppliers.

Amazon current net profit is 4% of sales. This is actually one of their HIGHEST % of sales net income number in their history, they've historically been at 1-2%.

Take healthcare for example. They rarely publish their cash list prices making it extremely difficult to comparison shop, they consolidate local competitors into major network to reduce choice, they adhere to minimum price schedules, they surprise you with all sorts of unexected charges which are difficult to impossible to avoid (out of network charges in an in network hospital). Many of those items are flags of anti-competitive behavior by the way.

Amazon has clear pricing, has introduced a marketplace for competition between types of items (including new vs used) etc. When you see folks going after Amazon and not other much clearer issues of competition (false advertising, the health care industry etc) that should raise a red flag. If you look at whether Amazon or the medical industry leads to more consumer bankruptcies, it's not even close.

The worry should be that with huge sales volume they can put future potential competitors out of business in spaces like a digital home assistant etc by underpricing their products.

Sales of pencil cases etc is not going to be their high margin area, their high margin will be in marketplace / fulfillment and compute fees among others.
Normally I'd want to include some level of detail about what I worked on at each position, technologies, technical accomplishments, etc

A resumé is advertising. A resumé is marketing.
A few thoughts:

A resumé is not a biography.
It' a pitch.
When was the last time anyone tried to sell you a product or service with a white sheet of paper and black ink? Exactly.

The six page--or ten page--credentials document is for the interview.

For a recent project management position, Facebook received 10,000 resumés. That's too many for the HR department ro review. FB, like many others, use automated systems to weed through these. Graphic and marketing details, innovations, are lost.

You can try to game the system: post the job requirements in a white font on white so all the keywords are there. But this is an inexact science.

For a small to medium size business, the "new" c.v. has as good or better chance than the traditional c.v.
Totally agreed.

Isn't this a super open door though? I mean: Tinder? LinkedIN? Instagram? Sales? Marketing?

This isn't exactly a new discovery in the sales and marketing world is it? And since getting a job = sales...
Americans are so racist, they'd rather get bankrupted by illness and die, than have universal health care help black people.

At the same time, they allow ~1 million mostly non-whites to legally immigrate every year.

I think insurance/medical industry lobbying is a far more consistent explanation. In general, if a story starts by bringing up racism from 150 years ago, it's more concerned with building a narrative than with explaining the current state of affairs.

Rather refreshingly, the NYT admits this: "It aims to reframe the country’s history, understanding 1619 as our true founding, and placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of the story we tell ourselves about who we are."
Respectfully need to split a hair on the VA comment: once you're into the VA system, their access is incredible. If you can't get an appointment in less than 20 days, or if you need to drive more than 30 minutes, they'll pay for you to see a doc in your community. So you certainly do not need to wait months to get an appointment at the VA.

There are veterans who are still waiting to get paperwork processed to show a service connection for health issues -- they're still waiting to get into the VA system -- but that's a different bureaucracy. The wait time at most VAs once you're in the system is substantially less than through my employer-provided insurance.
The proposed 5000 unit development which has just been killed by NIMBYs is within blocks of two different subway stations. Few if any any of the residents would have owned cars. Roads are not an issue here.

It's pure against-all-change conservatism. It's fine to have that personality type, but the vast, overwhelming majority of the country is filled with landscapes that change slowly if at all. Can't the small island of Manhattan be set aside for change and growth?
>there are a near infinite variety of reasons for being homeless

Ah, the old "flatten that distribution graph and treat every point as equally probable" argument. Arguments like these are so intentionally misleading that it's easy to construe them as malicious. You'd rather make an asinine point than use language that addresses the true distribution of the problem set, because it doesn't capture every single fringe case you can think of.
In Portugal I have not received any without a picture on it. It does not help.
OK, so if they're not scavenging for the deposit, why are they scavenging? Plastic isn't in short supply, there's not much resale value to it.

This might be true but still sounds like the information given about public health systems is biased.

In Spain the public health system is still better than the private one and most of the long and most expensive treatments are done within the public circuit. You can wait months for "minor" issues and there is where a private insurance can help (actually I think is beneficial for the system that anyone being able to afford a complementary private insurance should pay for it)

Also, having experience in both systems I feel better when I am treated by someone with no economic interests.
>I don't know if aluminum can operate with such fluctuating power

In case you're curious, this came up a few years ago in a discussion and at least at the time I checked a typical Hall-Héroult electrolysis smelter could last without power for something like 4 hours or so, maybe 5, and some countries did in fact use them as part of their electrical grid control. But they can't have power interrupted indefinitely because the pots are permanently damaged and require replacement or extremely expensive repair if the liquid metal completely solidifies in them. The molten state represents a significant thermal mass hence the hours of lag time, but it can't just be remelted from total cool down either.

I do wonder if an economical design could be made that specifically tried to enhance this aspect as a core design feature, some sort of vacuum insulation or the like perhaps to reduce passive thermal loss and bring outage time more towards 12 hours? But even at 4 apparently it can be good enough for moderation of some intermittent demand (which in turn means extremely cheap electricity). Using something like this as "energy storage" that is also directly economically productive seems worth pursuing though. Another possibility would be to investigate direct carbon extraction from the air, either for storage or to turn into fully synthetic net-neutral hydrocarbons. If the electricity is essentially free anyway, even enormously consuming processes like that could make sense.
The point is that in most Western countries (US aside), the idea that the folks down the local hardware store made a medical device is simply bizarre.

My NHS is most certainly not perfect, but provides a decent safety net. They'd have provided a walker, and maybe the local DIY store might build a playground for local kids in the park.
Hopefully they are using screeners before they look at the resumes.
Initially, yes. If you grant the candidate an interview, require a follow-up c.v. with this information.
I gave been waiting #HotPrivilege or equivalent to become a trending hashtag since this whole privilege-acknowledging affair got started.

That's true, but that is just traditional property taxes on homes in California. As you noted, there are other taxes and even regulatory capture that drives up costs of new home ownership.
Sounds like you may not be from Europe. In Europe nothing is perfect but man, reading how the system works in the US is very depressing compared to how it works here.
if your company has to have a time when you're not supposed to use it at all, rather than just using is appropriately, then yes it seems like a problem with the tool.

Slack is junk food for positions that need focus (developers, designers). your time is smart to eat it less, but we should get something healthier.
It's pretty simple to set up a scientific test for resume content. You can find examples of reports of studies on names pretty easily. You just set up a template and send out hundreds of resumes with the thing you're testing tweaked. If sending multiple resumes to the same company, also vary the things you're not testing in ways that you think will be insignificant (e.g. use different names like Jack, John, Joe but don't use names that indicate a difference in possibly salient factors like gender or ethnicity).

People do this sort of thing to test hiring biases all the time. Ideally you'd be doing it from a university and have an ethics board and people experienced with experiment design overseeing what you're doing to help ensure you're doing it right.

Not a huge Apple fanboy here, but it should be acknowledged that Apple did an about face and started pushing on user privacy loooong before it was a competitive marketing checkbox vs. other tech companies. Locationgate happened what, 8 years ago?

I'm none of the above, so at this point I bounce. You really need to think more about your survey, and I strongly advise you against acting on what you think it's telling you. It's heavily biased in ways you don't expect.
It sounds like you've only done volunteer work with specific types of people.

The homeless people who simply can't afford housing and thus live in vehicles, and have jobs, want to stay under the radar. It's unlikely you'd make contact with them during volunteering unless you specifically sought them out. You're not going to find them at soup kitchens, homeless shelters, skid row, etc. They're normal people like you and me who just can't afford to live in a building, and are taking the next best option.
Do you need to worry about offgassing if you do this or is it generally safe as long as you melt it rather than burning it?

Yup, I forgot to mention the nice new example of Julia, which is used interactively, dynamically typed, compiles to machine code, and has introspection just like Lisp (e.g. SBCL afaik):

http://www.jlhub.com/julia/manual/en/function/code_native

It's basically a Lisp with syntax, being bootstrapped with femtolisp for its Lisp-like macro system.

In many countries, a picture is required. As part of the application process you are required to submit your passport details page as well (if you are applying for an expat job, of course you already have a passport. Only Americans don't.).

A resumé is advertising. A more comprehensive document should follow after the initial culling.
Augmented Reality vs. Mixed Reality vs. Virtual Reality
It's fascinating that HN downvotes comments pointing to America's historic struggles with race (which did, beyond a doubt, exist and leave a fingerprint on the political reality of our current country) when people ask questions for which race is a potential answer. It's happened to me before too, IIRC also with a cited claim.

I mean, I totally understand avoiding the subject because it leads to flamewars, because some people respond very poorly to the suggestion that racism exists and has practical effects today. But then you're better off not having a discussion about the topic at all than a skewed, censored one where one plausible answer is just too politically incorrect to be debated.
> Nope. That’s not an issue with Slack. It’s your interpretation of what a message or DM is. There’s no timer attached to a DM. This urgency is self-inflicted.

Yes there is. If there is no urgency then it's no better than an email in a worse, less-searchable UI. Direct chat has been, since it's invention, a synchronous action. That is how people use it.

> The problem isn’t Slack. Its never Slack. It’s the lack of discipline of people using it.

Email does not require discipline to use properly.
I’ve been getting paid to write code since before I finished high school. All that experience feels relevant when looking for a coding job ... I don’t think it’s gonna fit on 2 pages if I want to tell you anything useful about the positions.
Plastic particles will end up in drains when the concrete structure gets eventually demolished.
That is a different algorithm, though, right? They didn’t rewrite the rust code to use matrix multiplication, so it’s no longer a direct comparison, and is instead comparing unoptimized rust with a less efficient algorithm to super optimized C++ with a more efficient algorithm (being called from python).

In which case, IMO, it’s fairly surprising that the rust implementation is only 2x slower.
Especially if the previous tenant was paying that $1000. You’ve got concrete evidence that it was rented for $1000... why would you want to add concrete evidence that its current market value is only $800?!
Because the US has so many successful corporations, its politics is controlled by corporate interests to an extent not seen in most other developed countries (where the political “right” tends to be the nativists and the propertied class). The “small government” concept in the US creates a political incentive for government to be ineffective and wasteful creating a self fulfilling process through which any politically visible part of the US government is terribly ineffective and the pieces that are behind the scenes are excellent. That’s why universal health care is likely to be a terrible boondoggle in the US.
If you consider a persons contribution to a company to be purely technical, your argument holds. I take it you might feel that way, I do not.

Yup, Oil will be like Go's flag parser, and accepts one or two dashes!

The reason most tools don't is that they allow stuff like rm -rf and tar -xvf, rather than rm -r -f and tar -x -v -f. But that seems to be optimizing for the uncommon case now, given how many tools and flags there are. Nobody can memorize them all!
That isn't correct. Overweight people who need two seats are typically charged for two seats or for business class.

ITT 6' has been described both as "tall" and "pretty average height". I'm also that height, and like any other arbitrary measure of humans it depends on context. Among typical commercial flyers in mainland USA or northern Europe? No, 6' is not particularly tall in that group. That is a privileged group, so tall dudes fit right in. Somehow tall dudes even felt comfortable inserting themselves into this conversation. TFA is about blind people and how they fly commercially. Whether ignoring blind people or hating on fat people, tall people haven't represented themselves well here.

All you have to do is have plenty of public bathrooms nearby and keep them clean.

Neither of those is the case in SF. There are almost no public bathrooms, and those that exist tend to be disgusting.
I include a very brief summary (< 1 line) that details most of my professional work history (not always tech related, but illustrates progressive responsibility), so I'm probably one of the people whose resume gets thrown out (per some of the posters) on the regular. I'm OK taking that kind of risk because I'm looking for a manager/team who understands a team member is more than the sum of what's on their targeted 1 page resume. Although I'm sure you're all great managers, I can appreciate being weeded out early.
...and the downvote if for?

(I am not related to the project above, just in case.)
If you get an internal rec, you can bypass HR looking at your resume all together at Facebook. I’m sure that’s how 80-90% of the people get hire there.
> If I am watching a car review, I have no problem watching an ad for a car (someone has to pay for the video), since that ad makes sense in that location.

While I mostly agree, it is very annoying seeing the exact same car insurance or <insert random local budget car dealer> ad three times during a ten minute video on YouTube about a super car I was interested in.
