I would recommend mixture of searching companies in field you find interesting. Look at conferences you would like, and look at their sponsors. My last job I found was just looking at meetups in the city I wanted to work, and basically see what companies hosted the meetups.

Also LinkedIn and Glassdoor are pretty decent in my experience.
When I say prestigious jobs, I don't mean random companies you've never heard of - these include companies well known for their engineering excellence. I don't know how their careers advanced, so maybe they quickly found themselves looking for work elsewhere. No hiring process is perfect. We've all had to deal with less-than-excellent coworkers.
With the highest support level you do receive TAMs and Solutions Architects within AWS. They can add feature requests and make sure that influence is added for you and follow up directly with Product Managers to explain why a feature is important.

But, sometimes a high amount of spend on a service isn't really much more than the average. For instance, if you spend 200k/mo on a niche service then you'll get a ton of say in how things move forward, but if you spend 200k/mo on EC2 you might not be able to strongarm anything.
Damn must be some strong koolaid over there.
My academic background from Engineering was in Electrical Engineering, so very much a "traditional" background, i.e where most firms hiring were rather old and stodgy, compared to modern high-tech SV companies.

The reputable firms usually had a more or less firm cut-off around 3.0, while smaller firms were more lenient.

Most reputable finance and consulting firms wouldn't even look at your CV unless you had a 3.5

I think CS firms are more forgiving, and care less about credentialism. Obviously you'll have some, but if you're a kick-ass developer with a portfolio to show, most companies are willing to take a look. I think a lot of firms understand that they're missing out on excellent non-traditional hires, because HR and old hiring practices have been gatekeeping them away.

Microsoft was the first big tech firm I ever spoke with, and interviewed for, and they said that as long as you had taken at least one class in data structures, you were welcome to the interview - didn't mater if you had studied history or CS.
Ok yeah I think it was changing the policy that access I couldn't get to work.

Again it may be that is super easy and I fucked up something obvious however I tried a lot of times a lot of different ways until I gave up in rage.

There's a world of difference between avoiding sleeping in a household you know for a fact is occupied by an armed paranoid steeped in fear of the bogeyman vs. arming yourself out of fear of the bogeyman.

One threat is very real, the other is largely nonexistant but portrayed by the media as a growing omnipresent danger.

This is somewhat suggestive, but due to a massive amount of other variables involved, for it to be more conclusive you'd want to compare to another extremely similar country with minimal usage (or, spawn an alternate universe).

I once worked for a startup where we attempted this, in a sense. We built an app that let users take a picture of their bookshelf, we scanned the spines then digitized your "Shelfie". Our pitch was that we would give you the ebook of the print book that you own either for free or at a deep discount.

We built a pretty complex recommendations engine on top of this and quite frankly, it worked really well. Simplified, if you have actual photos of bookshelves it's easy to start building recommendations. Person a read a,b,c, person b also read a,b,c, however, person a read e,f so maybe person b would also like e and f.

The main issue is that publishers are archaic and building a sustainable revenue model against that is a challenge.
This is a beautiful project. I still remember the night before a "show and tell" event at my school when I was eight years old. I laid out all my toys on my bed and tried to choose which one to bring to school the next day. I felt such excitement at the prospect of telling my friends all about the games I played with them.

I remember having such love for my toys and when I think of them I can still feel the joy they brought me. I admit that scrolling through these pictures today has me feeling pretty emotional.
Good Samaritan laws are pretty common in the US to solve that problem.

In Google Maps, I go “Home” every second trip. Yet, when I type “Home” (or whatever the French equivalent is), the only suggestions I get are “Home depot” and “Homeware shops”. I went as far as setting a “place” labelled “fghjk”. I still get other results, despite using “Fghjk” every second trip!!!

Also visible in Youtube. There’s a French guy who explained what it was to be raped by a woman, and I often refer people to it (and half a dozen other videos). When I search for his video’s title and his channel name, I systematically get 2 other results first, generally videos about how many women get raped, from the Huffington Post, often the ones with fewer views.

It really feels like Google is trying hard to dodge the correct answer.
Why do you think they are not from an English speaking country? They are likely advertising their botnet (and seems to be working rather well).
>That current cooperation may not be geared towards knowledge transfer doesn't mean it couldn't be. For example the US helped Great Britain extensively in the 60's and 70's on the space front and other areas, not to the extent that the UK was unable to do it themselves but to successfully boot strap their efforts.

The problem is there is a big crossover between space tech and missile tech, so you have to see that other country as a very close ally to start that kind of tech transfer.

>There's other examples too: Despite a chilly relationship and very different values, the US and Russia have worked together for two decades on the ISS. The world is littered with current projects or their results that involved significant international cooperation and shared expertise.

All tech they both already had.

> Practically no country has independently built all of the technology that it both uses, fully understands, and can now produce on its own.

That isn't an argument for choosing to transfer a particular technology to a particular country.

>What we're really talking about here is teaching-- teaching another country how to do something. I don't need how teaching necessarily disadvantages the student country. It doesn't replace their own initiative to learn and internalize the material, but it does bootstrap the process.

It makes that tech much more easily spread in an age where the west is already worrying about North Korea/Iran/etc's long range missile programs (which they are collaborating on!, point you, but thats a reason why not to share technology willy nilly, point me).
I'm not sure if it's constructive to dispel super vague opinions with logical fallacies. In fact, I'm not sure what the point of the comment was at all, in retrospect.
I mean yeah you can do it on GR with a group as well, but I'm talking about a built-in book club feature with a timetable, chat, status updates, etc. Say I'm looking to read War and Peace this winter. I find a bunch of other like-minded people, and we set a timetable, read it together, then disband.
Why would it be and how would you even define "the cloud"?
The only engineering firms I've interviewed for which had rigorous technical interviews, were consulting firms. Most other firms were almost exclusively focused on soft-skills and personality, and then some pretty softball technical questions.
Did you see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/WebsiteHosti...

I'm of two minds about this.

On the one hand, the cloud is a meaningfully different abstraction from hosting locally, and figuring out how to do things effectively with it end to end without prior experience is a little bit like going from Windows to Linux, or back.

On the other hand, the use case you describe is one of the most basic, standard and well documented out there.

Average wage is very different than minimum wage. Because of the US’ high gdp both the mean and median salary is much higher.

In 2018, the U.K. median household income was $35,000 (converted from pounds) [0] and in 2019 $63,800 in the US [1].

That’s an enormous difference. There’s also many more ultra rich in the US than the U.K., but just your normal American has a lot more income to spend.

It's possible to write when you don't know the point -- writing not as argument but as exploration of a topic.

You'll frequently discover the point as you go through (and might then re-write the piece having done so), but then ... that becomes the point, and the process of discovery the narrative.

That said, good guides.

Agreed, and to move up one level of meta, the interviewer should be thinking about this kind of analysis when they construct their interview process/system.

Ask HN: Costs of verified purchase review tags to the seller
My PhD student is working on a project involving verified purchase reviews. The major benefit for sellers is that these tags increase credibility of the reviews. We were debating about the sellers' costs of implementing such tagging. Clearly it requires linking every review to the purchase, which can be costly to implement. Competitors can also use the number of verified reviews to arrive at an estimate of the units sold. But these are just my uninformed thoughts and I could not find any concrete data or informed opinions. Clearly there are some barriers to its adaption as not every online retailer is doing it.

I would love to hear what you think/know about this. I value your inputs a lot.

Mucking about with public transit and changing the way humans determine how to move themselves between home, work, health and play is not something to do lightly, and when servicing the public, all ages and needs should be considered. A map that is not readable is a pretty big deal.
Remote work will never become the standard way of working. 80% of jobs require a physical presence.
Comparing budget is useless because America gets best talent from all over the world and America's poor are still better than poor who live in India.

It's all relative, imagine if Indian poor population were as well off as American poor population what incentives will others have to study so much and work on space mission? Higher quality life at the bottom is what makes it more expensive to hire better talent. It's not a bad thing.
> Allow your team to response in a matter of hours/days, not minutes.

This does assume only one of the kinds of work that I mentioned though.

If our database server goes down and the site is offline and we're losing money, that is when Slack shows its value. We have a full log of what's going on, we can rapidly communicate statuses to stakeholders, we can debug things in realtime even if a distributed team.

I'd love to not have those sorts of times, but there's always going to be times like that for almost any business, any type of work. They can be minimised, but sometimes you just need fast communication.

In that way, I see Slack as a better long-run conference call. I can dip in and out as needed, it's got rich information, it's easy to look back through history. For things email is good for – let's stick with email.
I think you're missing the point that many of those moving out of the really big cities are going to the same smaller cities. Taking Austin as an example, it's growing by leaps and bounds. The gentrification is indeed happening.

If the outflow from the really big cities was equally distributed (say, as percentage of city's population), then your view would be accurate. But that's not what's happening.
It's possible to overdose on anything.

Heroin is dangerous because of cuts like fentanyl and various contaminants, not because you just inherently die randomly after using it.

One could use heroin your whole life with no ill effects. In that way, it's comparable to coffee.

Addicts simply need cheap access to legal heroin to stop using. Only after that's taken care of can they start getting their life back on track and to be about something other than drugs.
Hasn't Prop 13 made housing development a cost to cities? (i.e., once you sell a home, the property taxes don't cover the actual costs from the building?)

Namly is the world’s first conversational search engine. Instead of having to write everything you have to search for in one single line, you can now converse with your search engine to help you narrow down to the content you really want. More so Namly understands context and user preferences, which allows Namly to deliver personalised search results for the same search term. No more universal page ranks!

Namly is currently in limited beta. We would love to have HN members try it out, provide us feedback, and help us improve our search quality.
I have over time taken up the habit of saving interesting links to articles thinking that this repo will be the first place to look when i need something related to the topics which interest me. Investing. OOP. Nutrition. Books. Articles. Conferences. All the stuff that’s interesting but not immediately relevant to my life _right now_.

Sometimes it is useful. Other times, I’m just dealing with my FOMO. Haha. And I’m ok with that, because I find another joy when my interests match the zeitgeist.

But it strikes me the last time I really suffer from FOMO was attending Burning Man some years ago. And with that event having just concluded last weekend (again without my attendance), it was the first thing I thought about reading this article.

Well. There’s always _next year_. Haha
That's exactly my point, but you need to be in a company where that's an acceptable thing to do. I'm lucky to work in a company where "I'm sorry, I was offline getting stuck into some work" is a very reasonable response, but it seems like much of the criticism of Slack comes from companies where that's not possible, or people who don't have the discipline to actually log off (which I am definitely guilty of at times!).
Wait, really two pounds? In Dublin it used to be more like a fiver...
Not only did I downvote you, but I will specifically comment to tell you that you are both wrong, and even if you were right, it would be irrelevent. "Most" being what, 90%? 95%? So out of a city of 8.6M people, only 50,000 people a day need it to get around. Only 50,000 people need it to be able to move around from their home, the airport, the hospital and the restaurant.
Neat. Just a small note: On the "Best Of" page, the year selection is too narrow for my system (Chrome on Windows 10, WQHD). The two boxes only contains "20 " (twenty and some empty space); clicking/hovering one reveals those "up/down numerical selector arrows". You probably want to make them a little bit wider?

In both cases in the article it's almost certainly down to "stop word" removal.

The titles contain "the" and "and". These kind of words get filtered out because they make indexing incredibly difficult, ie. you search for "the" and get every single book containing "the" in the title (and sometimes description, depending on how deep the search is). So they exclude extremely common words to get eg. "catch kill". Then they have to rank the results for "catch kill" by some other heuristic - like popularity - and you get a list of books that people weren't looking for. Not to mention the first two books in the list were actually exact matches, so maybe they were more popular on the site.

Big search engines do try to correct for this, but it's not an easy problem. Usually results in some hard-coded exceptions for names like "The Who", but it's not trivially scalable.

In the case of your google maps results, I imagine it'll be something like (popularity * distance), which isn't necessarily the best heuristic.

The problem is that you can't please everyone with heuristics. Give power users the option to adjust the search to distance-first, popularity-first or any other of a dozen different combos and you end up with a confusing mess of a UI. Simplify it and give them your nicely hand-crafted best guess and there will always be someone complaining...
I use the web console fairly sparingly - iam, billing, browsing around s3 from time to time, etc. It's good enough - way better than it used to be, and better than the firefox extension that I started with.

This is probably not a popular way of doing it, but I write python to orchestrate the provisioning steps of a VM with specific roles, routes, etc in a VPC (with public/private subnets in multiple AZs) and then I use other tools for config-management and deploy.

I'm using few of AWS's services, it helps me do multi-cloud (another python script doing the same thing on another cloud), and it helps me keep my local dev environments in parity with production even on MacOS.

I do use S3 and route53 globally - they're simple enough to use using boto. IMO if infra is now code, you should probably write code to manage infra...

If it was a hard link, I suppose my way of thinking about it would make more sense, since all hard links are as valid, pretty much the same. That is, after running

ln /some/file /other/file

/some/file and /other/file are hard links. So in this case ln is just copying a hard link, while afaik cp would be copying data, making a hard link pointing to the new data. In userspace? That seems to be what's happening here - https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/bin/cp/utils.c

This is made a bit more confusing by the differences in man pages. For GNU ln, it's shown as ln TARGET LINK_NAME, but for OpenBSD, ln source [target]. But the usage is pretty much the same?
