If you aren't sure, just make sure it is visible in your GitHub profile. During my most recent job search I had some completed projects on my resume and portfolio site but the project they wanted to talk about the most was one I am still working on and didn't put on either but it was visible in my GitHub. That project got me the job because it was using a technology they wanted to transition to.

Just make sure your resume isn't too cluttered. That's a common problem I see with a lot of people who are applying to their first jobs or right out of school. The resume should just hit the high points of your career/education that are relevant to the position you are applying too. Always remember that whoever reads your resume is reading hundreds of them, they aren't going to want to read a novel for every applicant.
> Online retail, much like offline retail, is about physical infrastructure. You still need warehouses with all the product, you still need fulfilment, all online changes is the balance of those factors. The core assets don't change.

Which is why it is so weird when offline entities adding online lose out over and over to online only. They already have most of the infrastructure and their infrastructure is being paid for by two separate revenue streams (existing in store customers and new online customers). It just shows how often and how prevalent it is for these companies to rest on their laurels and siphon off every available penny of revenue for shareholder and executive profit, rather actually investing real time, effort, and talent into the online space. Which is why online companies can start from such a disadvantaged position and still surpass.

These percentages can be all over the place due to different definitions of tax.

Are you only talking federal or fully loaded? Do you only look at withholding or do you factor in any refunds? Do you include sales tax? What about increases to the prices of goods you buy due to corporate taxes? Capitol gains on your investments? Various fees that are paid to the government? The cost of compliance with regulations that you wouldn't of done otherwise? What about fines, commonly a large revenue generator in rural areas? Property taxes? Higher prices due to governmentally enforced monopolies? Devaluation of your holdings due to the printing of more currency?

To start we must first agree on what we are counting.

Prosecutorial malfeasance is a serious problem in the US, probably worse than police shootings in sheer number of lives broken, notably due to the abusive plea deal system where innocent people have a Hobson's choice to accept a plea just to avoid the risk of draconian penalties if they take the chance of a trial and whatever attorney will be assigned to them.

Is not advertising, it's sales: the seller establishes a personal relationship with the buyer, finds out what the buyer's needs and wants are, and proposes a product or service to them that satisfies those needs and wants. Advertising is nothing like that.

The only products most people buy that get sold that way are houses and cars, and those aren't the kinds of things advertisers are trying to sell using harvested personal data.

I'm with you. I think it is ridiculous that I get a tax credit for paying my mortgage, for example. By my estimation I get paid a salary that a lot of HN's entitled user base would consider below poverty and I still rarely have to think about money because it is so high. I would gladly pay more to get universal health care and a renewed interest in science and infrastructure projects.

Sadly, the political landscape is dominated by people who would gladly let others suffer to save a dime.

> I think Wal*Mart has an image problem.

If you know their history then you understand how they got where they are.

Walmart grew in the 80s and 90s by planting itself just outside the city limits of small towns across America. They attracted the towns people with low prices and jobs. Their presence eventually shutdown every competing small business in those towns and the former purveyors of those businesses often wound up working at Walmart. Businesses that didn't directly compete often setup shop inside the Walmart leasing space from them. That is until Walmart started partnering up with larger chains and pushing those small businesses out.

At the same time Walmart was strangling small businesses in small town America, they were also putting the squeeze on suppliers. They were demanding custom products at lower prices from companies who were forced to outsource to other countries in order to meet Walmart's demands. Well known American brands like Huffy went from being proudly made in America to just being stickers slapped on products coming off the boat from China.

If you drove across the US in the 90s you'd run through empty ghost towns and as soon as you'd hit the "Now leaving..." sign for the town there'd be a Walmart Supercenter with a parking lot full of vehicles. Walmart destroyed small town America by draining towns of tax revenues and running small businesses under.

Through all of this Walmart proudly displayed Made in the USA or some other patriotic bullshit on the outside of their stores.

Yeah Walmart has an image problem, and there isn't anything they can do about it in my opinion.
Legitimate criticism of the CCP results in rather intense flagging.

I'm no angel and I've definitely made comments that deserved flagging on HN and I really try hard to play by the rules that dang sets, but it's a rather clear pattern that certain subjects solicit pretty intense flagging despite not really being "nationalistic flame bait".

In case dang sees this I hope I'm not violating further rules of service I'm just simply trying to point something out, that is absolutely relevant to this discussion.
Note - IANAL

I deal with the question all of the time. My general, non legal view, is the following:

- If your economics operate outside of the EU (e.g. you accept money from non EU, have offices outside of EU, etc.) then you don't need to comply, however the process to comply isn't entirely all that hard to do (see point #2).

- GDPR is easy to comply with because you're either (1) at a scale where you have global operations so you're already or (2) you're at a scale where you don't really matter to the regulation, even if you have EU citizens in your DB.

- If you get acquired by another biz that has operations in EU (but you don't), then the overall entity likely becomes susceptible to GDPR

This is based on not a legal review, but rather a logistical one. In other words, if you don't have operations in the EU how on earth is the EU going to penalize you. Are EU cops (which don't exist?) going to show up at your door to collect money?

The DHS in conjunction with the FBI is supposed to be protecting our critical systems from foreign attackers -- and they are failing spectacularly. New laws and new approaches will be required to even begin to make headway, especially where private companies' operations intersect with national security issues. When should the feds be allowed to access my network to verify my assets are secure.

The NSA's charter is foreign signals intelligence (including computer networks), not law enforcement -- They can't spy on Americans in America except under extraordinary circumstances (Must have a FISA warrant and that person must be talking to one of a few thousand foreign bad actors). And even then, the collected data is not court admissible. Only the FBI and other law enforcement agencies can spy on Americans in America in legally admissible ways using court orders.

The real issue here is when exploits should be weaponized or shared with industry. Should we prioritize the protection of our networks or should we penetrate the networks of our adversaries? This is a tricky political question that needs to be seriously addressed, the status quo is broken.

For some reason, there are a few parallel IQ tests that are allowed to continue, despite the Supreme Court ruling against IQ tests.

People hate on it all day long, and perhaps their reasons to hate it are correct, but it remains an extremely useful as a _heuristic_, if you're allowed to measure it.

He was one of us, just far, far more talented. It's an incredible loss to society, not just geekdom.
It's lazy when it doesn't come with a proposal to replace the stuff that you want to burn down.

It's like the US tax code... it is insanely complicated and in a lot of ways doesn't serve the public well (because rich folks can use the complexity of it to escape taxation), so it's easy and popular to say let's just get rid of it and start with a new, simple tax code.

The problem is it got to be the way it is for a reason. We want to incentivize people to own homes and buy electric cars and a thousand other things, and we use the tax code to do that. If you tear it down without a plan on how to keep incentivizing all the things you want, you're going to end up with some undesirable results that you then have to fix.

It's fine to say let's throw it out and start over, but if that's as far as your plan goes then it's pretty lazy.

Almost nobody thinks that the US government's role is to pick winners and losers. This is always an cloaked appeal for less regulation, often in bad faith and unrelated to the topic at hand.

Radio is part of the EM spectrum. EM waves (including light) decay under water at an exponential rate due to absorption by the medium. So data transmission underwater must rely instead on mechanical waves (sound).

This is why underwater robots mostly use tethers, otherwise you couldn't control them very well (RC control would stop working at a very shallow depth).

This is awesome. This essentially will serve as a more up-to-date tutorial on the LLVM bindings for Haskell. So programming language designers could use this tutorial to build a new language using Haskell. Currently, the state of LLVM documentations, and its tutorial leaves much wanting. This work remedies things on the Haskell side of things by quite a bit.

I especially love the fact that instead of implementing a novel language like Kaleidoscope (which the official LLVM does), it implements a subset of C (a language that's low-level enough and widely understood). C has all of the basic constructs, which if you understand how to write a compiler (to LLVM) for, would allow you to implement far more advanced languages.

Thank you Joseph Morag for this wok, and Théophile Choutri, Moritz Kiefer, et al for making it possible.

They seem associated with the ocean as well, many reports of the craft originating or disappearing into the ocean ("transmedium" vehicles).

Is it possible that there's some form of life that originates in the ocean, has evolved intelligence that is in a totally different paradigm than us, and this is their equivalent of going to "space"?

It makes sense in the macro-sense as well as we're very lucky to not be a water world in the habitable zone. Life evolved in the oceans far earlier than on land and we know very little about the ocean due to it's large size.

At worst I get a funny look for something I googled in the middle of the night?

To your point, it's 100% the government I'm worried about. They've got legal and lethal authority to do far worse than a weird look.

I recall needing this on a snprintf() implementation.

Isn't this effectively a table-optimized logBase(x) rounded-up to the ceiling, which can be reduced to efficient log2(x)/log2(Base)? If you know the base, then you can combine many ops into table-lookups.

> In 1942 Kilgore proposed creating a federal bureaucracy, responsive to the public

Good luck with that. I have come to the conclusion that there is no efficiency or accountability without competition or severe consequences for failure (applies equally to the private sector). This is my problem with government support for "innovation." I don't think more than a tiny fraction of the allocated funds will actually go to that end. It would have to be run like a VC fund where everyone loses their jobs if ROI thresholds aren't hit, or gets rich if they win big. The government will never actually mass fire bureaucrats or pay 8 figure bonuses, so this will never happen.
