That hasn't been my experience. I always get the salary range, equity package, and what stage/growth the company is at currently and where they want to take things. All in the first 30 minute call.
I'm not sure if this is the best thread, but I'm potentially looking for a partner. I'm the founder of https://bigpicture.io/. The primary product is company data and IP data as a service via API.

I'm debating what to do with the company. I've only raised a small angel round, and the company is profitable. A competitor reached out to me about an acquisition a couple weeks ago, so I'm debating that vs raising money vs continuing to bootstrap.

I'm an engineer, but I have a decent amount of business experience. So I'm open to partnering with someone technical or business focused.
Hey, I am working on an opensource web-based note-taking tool called Bangle.io [0]. Note-taking is a pretty crowded space with new tools showing up every other day. Bangle.io tries to stand out by allowing users to own their data and not locking them to a cloud provider. I also have plans to add extensions and multiplayer collaboration in the future. If this spikes your interest, please find me at [1].

Note that rolling stops can seem safe but in some cases there are surprising circumstances where intersections can leave you blind to other road users. https://www.wired.com/story/the-physics-of-the-69-degree-int... for instance discusses an intersection where the angle caused a person-size blind spot behind a car's pillar.

I'm working on INET256, a 256 bit network address space for easily and securely connecting applications.

https://github.com/inet256/inet256

- The API is focused around sending and receiving messages to addresses derived from public keys.

- Each application can have its own stable address.

- Runs as a daemon process which is configured with peering information. Additional network nodes can be spawned through the API.

- Can easily support arbitrary routing algorithms through a well defined interface.

- A TUN device (similar to CJDNS or Yggdrasil) is included as a separate application. (The IP6 Portal)

Worst jobs I got through recruiters.

Best jobs I got when I picked the company and applied.
I like NYC. I moved here in 2017 though. But after the pandemic I moved to Central Queens where my rent is much cheaper (2400/mo) and the apartment is bigger (1,000sqft ish) in a doorman building. 30m subway to Central Park and the best Chinese, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, and Korean restaurants in NY are the next neighborhoods over.

The coffee and pastries nearby aren't as fun as Brooklyn though.
Thank you! I'm checking out Marcos' project as well, yes, very similar, somehow I missed it while researching if anyone is already working in this direction, before starting on mine!
I get about 400 emails a day from ham radio lists. It's gotten a bit out of hand, especially because we still haven't solved the problems with threading and viewing. Some will send an formatted in-line reply, others a plain-text with a thousand >>>>>>'s, others without context, all from my gmail. I do have it curated into folders but I have never found a good way to actually stay engaged.

If gmail could keep topics to a single email conversation thread under one subject line (not 40 that go on like RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:FWD:FWD:REE:EEEEEE), OR if there was some sort of platform that could take all these emails (aggregate from groups.io, mailman, piper, etc) and transform into a reddit/HN/tumblr-like threaded view, I would be so happy.
Yeah, but everything should be AGPL now instead of GPL. The software-as-service fiasco that changes the nature of "distribution" to bypass the open source requirements of licenses like GPL highlighted a loophole that corporates haven't hesitated in exploiting. AGPL has temporarily addressed this. However AGPL needs to go one more step and allow changing the license to plug any future loopholes. Right now, many GPL software cannot be automatically upgraded to AGPL license because we have to get permission from all the contributors to change the license. AGPL needs a clause that allows easy upgradation of the license retrospectively to ensure that the core concept can be defended in future too.
It depends on what I'm there for, certainly. Recently I went to a piano bar with friends, and also happened to catch a particular football game. In this environment, you surrendered peace and quiet the moment you selected the restaurant. Fortunately for a football game, the audio is optional anyhow.

If I'm just there to eat, one TV is no big deal to me, but the TV Wall is definitely a distraction.

But at least don't try to have the audio on. As technically nifty as some of the restaurants are that try to have per-table speakers or a streaming option are, CC is still less obtrusive to me.

But of course everyone's mileage will vary.
It is literally a recall, though. A recall is a defined process with the NHTSA (and similar processes with other government safety agencies) to track vehicles that are somehow unsafe, and need some kind of service to be made safe again. There's a website that lists them: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

That can be anything from "these airbags might not open when they're supposed to", like the Takeda problem, or "if water splashed just right on the bottom of the open door, you would have water next to electrical wires which could maybe start a fire" (an issue my car had a few years ago).

Tesla met with the NHTSA and agreed to issue a recall. How is it possibly bad journalism to call it what it is?
> Why is this? Why do they insist on wasting a candidate's time when answering some simple questions via email is much more efficient?

That's easy: they want you invested. The sunk cost fallacy works.

Think about it another way: being a recruiter is being in sales. Sales people love pipelines (funnels) so if you think about the recruitment stages a simplified view might be:

1. Email candidate

2. Candidate responds to email

3. Discuss on phone

4. Candidate submits resume

5. Organize phone screen

6. Conduct interviews

7. Negotiate offer

8. Accept offer

Each of these steps has a conversion rate. Imagine you get paid $20,000 for placing a candidate. Work backwards through this pipeline and you might figure out you have to send 5,000 emails to place one candidate. That means each email you send, you've "earned" $4. Imagine if the response rate is 20%. Well, getting a candidate to respond by changing up the content or presentation of the email means you've now "earned" $20. If only 1 in 3 talk on the phone then each phone introduction you make "earns" you $60. And so on.

it's a numbers game. They're just trying to get you to the next stage in the pipeline.
How can you detect tracking pixels?
I think as long as autonomous drive systems are intermingling on regular roads with human drivers, they need to behave like human drivers. Human drivers will get angry with autonomous systems, especially during rush hour, if they adhere strictly to all laws such as full stops and speed limits.

As others have pointed out, this may force us to contend with the laws first since it's clear local enforcement and laws are not aligned.

When a majority of driving is autonomous, laws will likely evolve slightly. If/when all driving is autonomous, then things get really interesting: short following distance, peer-to-peer intersections without stops, etc.
I tried generating a QR code with an image and it didn't work at first, I had to adjust the bit size for it to work. I then tried another image and it required me to have a bigger bit size for the camera phone camera to correctly detect it.
Depends on recruiter quality.

There are some 3rd party groups that are solid. Most are a waste of time.

The author recommends to use bucket-sort or traditional sorting for floats, but you can actually apply both to floats as well to get the guaranteed "linear" time.

Counting sort is similar and also a bit better, at O(k + n) rather than O(kn).
Not to beat a dead horse, but the reason you keep getting these kinds of replies is because it seems like you have an idea about a second type of Professional Network that is different than what you described as your network of friends. Everybody's just trying to say that the real Professional Network is exactly the network of your friends, and if there is another kind of "purpose built career network" that people are talking about, it's the imitation of what you've got, not the other way around.

What you've described from your own experience is the substance of what a professional network is, and has always been. LinkedIn connection requests are trying to create a digital product in the form of the real-world phenomenon that you've experienced and described. If we're going to call one of them a professional network, everyone in this subthread is saying, let's give the real thing the name professional network, and the imitation a different name.

(None of this is intended to disparage LinkedIn. It is what it is, but if it's trying to be a substitute for real relationships between humans, it will always be the shadow, not the substance.)

I totally get some of your points, but I am sorry to say that most aren't quite true.

> Easier data sharing among organizations

It is more complex than pulling that data from a random DB or API.

> Decreased inefficiency for currency exchange rate and cross border transaction costs

Since most people need to buy crypto currencies with fiat they need to pay for that conversion, then they need to pay for the transaction, then you need to pay again to send that crypto to the tree planting folks and then again they need to turn in into fiat.

It would be far easier and less expensive for you to handle everything in USD or EUR.

> Easier reporting and analysis

Same as the other point, you can do everything pretty simply with any DB and some lines of code.

> Platform of choice for next generation of climate change advocates and supporters

This is hardly a point

> Smart contracts enabling decentralized calculation of carbon offset for many daily activities

Computational power of smart contracts is incredibly limited and HIGHLY energy intensive. There is actually no good reason to perform those computations on a decentralized network. It would also be very expensive, much more than any other alternative.

> Crypto mining is a great source of emissions, its way easier to plug our DAO into the existing networks to calculate and offset transaction emissions in a user friendly way

That actually sounds as a counter point.

So... man, it is really less impactful on the environment and also less expensive and less complex to open a non profit in a country with a stable fiat, open source your model and make all data public (except donors personal data, just give them a UUID).

Plus, charity is usually tax deductible almost anywhere, why would anyone want to donate anonymously? You can also accept cryptos as donations, that's not a problem, but you are more likely to lose contributions by not accepting fiat than the other way around.

That's why I said I can hardly see the point of being a DAO in your case.
Yeah, and even that would have been fine if backup power in plant one hadn't been in the basement. The other, newer reactors had above ground backup power. Either a taller wall or a generator in a shed would have prevented the accident.

Are they recalling the software version for an update to fix a safety issue? If so, then it is a recall. You can't play semantics with words like that for these issues.

Please see this: https://www.nhtsa.gov/staticfiles/rulemaking/pdf/Recalls-FAQ...

>A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. Manufacturers are required to fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund, or in rare cases repurchasing the vehicle.

> the risk of accidents with the costs

are you joking? The risk of driving is injuries and death, primarily born by those _not_ in a car. How somebody weighs this with speeding or rolling stops, or any other form of acting like a careless driver is beyond me.

Most importantly, safe driving is good form. Speeding is trashy.
So you’re telling me ordinary cops and prosecutors in Europe are capable of investigating highly technical, civil crimes? I’m not an expert in European justice, but based on a few high-profile cases I’ve followed, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
I don't think anything can be drafted that would be sure to survive bankruptcy. That's why it's important that they don't keep information in the meantime. If things go sideways, then you just stop using the service. They've committed to telling users if they're being acquired or whatnot.
Yes you can in theory power the entire world with renewables. The sun is always shining and the wind is blowing somewhere. Of course, doing that would be stupid because of the diminishing returns.

But the same is true of nuclear power. Not even France tries to provide 100% of power with nuclear, because it would be an absurd over-investment to handle a few peaks or unexpected maintenance periods.

It’s pointless to argue that renewables can’t provide 100% of power, because in theory any single source of energy could, and in practice no single source of ever should.
This is why I could never live or do business in the UK. The people and their government are primitive and don’t understand what freedom means.
If you study parliament it quickly becomes clear that the UK operates under a dictatorship and the license of democracy it claims for it’s citizens is fraudulent. Witch hunts over tweets and attacks on common cryptography only prove that further. We need to start correcting UK citizens when they claim to be free and remind them the ‘special exceptions’ they allowed their government to include totally and obviously undermine and break their freedom.

And this man. Like the rest of his generation he was out with a machine gun in the fields. He’s beyond criticism? Because he’s old? Because he walked in his garden for charity? Because he was on the English side and all English soldiers get a pass, wink wink? He probably blew 30 young soldiers brains out on tour.

There is some deeply perverse insight in this comment and I love it. The principle seems to apply quite generally across much of modern tech. Where are the viable contenders for Google products built on a platform of.. counter-reputation? This concept needs a name
You got the charges wrong. It's speculation on my part because it's kept secret, but all journalists in Denmark more or less agree that he is held for leaking information on the NSA partnership and two other stories involving the intelligence agencies (one about an agent being left in jail in Spain and one about a withheld security assesment of refugees held in camps in Syria). This is based on which journalists got interrogated and what stories they have brought to light
This happened to me once. We hired remotely, the guy sounded fantastic, but the guy who showed up didn't even speak English. We fired him within two weeks.

Another time we hired a guy who seemed enthusiastic and had a portfolio of things he had done, but he turned out to be completely unenthusiastic.
In the bad old days we used to do the "kitchen sink" installs of Redhat because our machines weren't connected to the internet nor did they have access to the install media after install, so if we needed a package and it wasn't already installed it was a big problem.

Even today it's kind of a headache to install packages on machines with no Internet access, usually the easiest solution is to download everything and setting up a package repo on the LAN.

If you want real fun, try setting up a nontrivial node.js project without direct Internet access.
1. You don't need to learn macros for VSCode. I personally use just about a dozen of them, but the mouse suffices for majority of the usecases. I don't have the necessity to shave off milliseconds.

2. Vim requires 2-3 dozens of keybindings memorized in order to have a decent feel for the editor, which of 1-2 hours of daily practice took me about 2 months.

3. The productivity gained from keybindings/macros/file navigation is negligible in the bigger scheme of things as it is your brain that does the heavy lifting in code.

I'm a young and eager-to-learn front-end developer with strong design literacy. I've worked internships at both product and consulting tech companies.

I have been experiencing hardships for the past few years and and am finally taking the time and risk to fully re-enter my software engineering career. With those came skills, perspectives, and communication abilities that will enrich my life for years to come. Please consider my unusual path as a strength. I would appreciate to hear about any opportunity that would allow me to contribute and grow.
> The reasons that there are so many incompetent recruiters are many, but a few are… companies hire entry level recruiters and pay them next to nothing in guaranteed compensation (mostly commission-based). The good ones will make the company a lot of money, and the bad ones can't afford to stay in the industry because they aren't making enough in commission - so they 'go away'

Wouldn't that be an explanation for why there shouldn't be so many incompetent recruiters? Why don't the incompetent ones all "go away"?
I understand their fear of being cut out.

I want them to understand that I need to know up-front if the position is interesting enough to be worth investing my time in at all. I could sacrifice my time and energy to assuage their fears, but every time I've done that in the past ten years there has been zero return on investment.

A reader might, at this point, optimistically point out that the next recruiter could be different. This reader would be correct. That could indeed be the case! Yet every time I wind up deciding to try the optimistic approach I wind up on a phonecall in which I learn that the company isn't someone I want to work for, the JD isn't one I actually want to work on, the comp isn't nearly enough, or some combination thereof. Generally the comp is so far off it has no change to even be negotiated to something I would consider. Often they try to sell me on a 40%-60% pay cut, because a slice of that is worth a lot to them (it's happened twice this month).

At this point I'm quite tired of paying optimism's price to assuage the fears of recruiters. The kindness is not returned. I understand others might choose differently.
