SEEKING FREELANCER | NYC | Remote Yes

I work with clients in a wide array of industries, helping them better understand their business software needs. Though my focus is on scrappy prototypes and proofs-of-concept, some of the projects do escape into actual use.

I am looking for subcontractor(s) to assist in two general capacities:

- Project discovery, requirements gathering and design, and backlog management. If you have a keen understanding of user behavior and an uncanny knack for organization, you'd be a great addition.
- Ops- and infrastructure-focused development. If you nerd out on observability and dream in some IaaC language, I want to talk to you. I'm NOT looking for someone to be on call.

Since the projects vary widely, specific technologies are not required. Don't worry if you're not yet an expert! Rather, your ability to quickly be productive in new tools is much more important. Most of our projects involve integrations of disparate (and often legacy) business systems, so you'll need to be comfortable jumping around.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, let's talk! Email me at <really anything at all> @ <hn username> dot com.
Thanks again.

Apologies for the initial claim.
Lavrov mentioned in his UN speech that the US has nukes in NATO states. Does anyone know of this is true and if so which states? I am specifically looking for countries that don't have their own not like France.
Not well! But the alternative is to let Putin kill and threaten people on your behalf, so that's not going well either. No good options here, but at least if you revolt or leave, he's not doing those things with your endorsement. "It's hard!" is not an excuse to tolerate war crimes.

And yes, I really think the average Russian has enough resources to leave the country, because you need zero resources to stand up from your chair and walk in a direction. If you're stopped, that's not your fault, you're actively trying.

Thank you for this post. Tough times. Let's hope someone higher up grows a pair and does something about it, because otherwise we will sleepwalk straight into something much, much worse.

FWIW: about those 40 year olds with families that can't do anything: they can, it's just that the perceived price is too high. But think about it from another perspective: how are you going to explain to your kids that you stood by and did nothing knowing full well what was going on? That is the question that is keeping me up at night right now.
I hate programming. I like constructing software but I loathe programming.

Designing Chartres is thrilling; building it with pebbles and tin-foil (all current programming languages) is heart-breaking.
I agree with you. The feeling that grass is greener might play a role here, as I've already seen the 'ugly' side of DS, but not of SWE

But I thought I could easily come back to ML if I want to after SWE jobs given my prev experience. From inside the industry, I see that companies really want Data Scientists who know how to code properly
The description on that episode:

>Steven E. Koonin is a theoretical physicist, professor, former Chief Scientist for the BP petroleum company, and former Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy under the Obama administration. He's also the author of "Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters."

I'm not sure "former Chief Scientist for the BP petroleum company" is the person I would go to for "a balanced take" on climate change.

Main annoyance I have with it is that the extensions are still whitelisted and limited. Not a huge issue for me either and I still use it over all other mobile browsers but it's the most common issue I run into with it.

It definitely wasn't the sole reason, but a sign that G Suite wouldn't maintain feature parity with consumer Gmail accounts. There are other features like Google Play library sharing which won't be added.

Yeah, people who used Google Voice early on were exempted from paying for managed Google Voice. It might be possible to port your Google Voice to a consumer Gmail account.

scp is effectively:

They should make it, that's a fairly safe route, the train will take a long time though.
It depends very much on how the situation ends, and how quickly. A simple return to status quo ante bellum seems implausible now.

Russia becoming a hermit kingdom cut off from Western trade for a significant time seems a distinct possibility. Germany has already announced they plan to eliminate their dependence on fossil fuels for electricity by 2035 [1] and to increase imports from the USA until then. Europe was already moving away from fossil fuels for climate reasons. The war gives a security justification for accelerating that course even if it impacts quality of life, the economy, or even climate goals. [2] European energy independence just became a primary goal of unlikely to change even if the immediate tensions ease.

Assuming this materializes and relations allow, the pipeline may end up mostly exporting via European ports. So you're right it'll probably get used one way or another, eventually.

I was thinking more along the lines of "magical thinking"
This is a bit of a "well-actually." Yes, all the functionality of Lockwise is still there, but the situation is complicated enough that not everyone is going to get it. For every person you correct on HN regarding this, there are hundreds of other people who don't visit HN, never bringing it up in a context where someone can teach them how to use Firefox as a password manager on iOS.

It's great if you know about it. But it still shake's people's confidence about the future of any new product announcements from Mozilla.
Russia holds drills with nuclear subs, land-based missiles
That has very little to do with Apple. What you're really asking is how hard would it be to add support to a CPU for a second instruction set.
I only know a little about the Long Now Foundation so I could be getting it wrong, but I understood their goal was to help people think about problems beyond the short term. For example, why would anyone plant a tree if they will be long dead before that tree reaches its normal height?

Instead of just sitting around discussing vague ideas they thought it would be interesting to design and build something to showcase their ideas, so the "ten thousand year clock" was proposed. It is amazing how many problems you have to solve to build a clock that has even the slightest chance of still be running ten thousand years from now.

A side effect of the clock project was that some of the dates involved would have five digit years, so they thought using five digit years for current dates would be a good way of shocking people and exposing them to their ideas.
Yeah, that's our exact experience as well. I was super surprised to find out how much of a graveyard open source A/B testing was. Intuit (Wasabi), Facebook (PlanOut), and SeatGuru (Sixpack) open sourced their internal platforms years ago, but they are all abandoned now.
There's no intrinsic part of bitcoin that requires you to trust them. He might own a large amount of bitcoin, or have some sway in bitcoin core development, but that does not equal unilateral control authority of the protocol.

Not an expert but this doesn’t seem like a bad thing to me as the contrast of the text with the background within the code blocks is increased, which I’d expect to be a good thing from an accessibility standpoint as I’d say it’s more important than code block contrast vs non-code blocks.
Aquabyte | USA (SF, NYC) and Norway | Full Time | MechE, Data Science, DevOps, Accounting, Sales | ONSITE, VISA https://jobs.lever.co/aquabyte/

Aquabyte (https://www.aquabyte.ai, backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the ocean sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the ocean for generations to come.

Watch our TV episode with Amazon CTO Werner Vogels here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ_qJ5JFD3I

Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

Let's hope they get to explain that in the the Hague at some point.
Messaging, no, voice chat, maybe. I haven't actually tried it so I'm just theorizing here, but to me personally, I could see being in a simulated physical space with someone as enhancing the experience of a long call.

I also want to make the distinction between spending time with friends in a game vs spending time with friends in a voice call. I don't think a game and this kind of utility are a good comparison because, while they're both in virtual spaces, they have very different goals. If you look at this as a game with all the gameplay taken out, yes, it's undeniably lame. If you look at this as, say, a Skype call where I can take a stroll with someone, then I do think there's a value add here.
1) I worked on this kind of stuff in the late 90s early 2000s, aside graphics fidelity and finally getting decent vr headsets and trackers this looks about the same in terms of features.

2) I lived through the transition to desktop os windowed environments, there was a lot of talk at the time about how we'd never use a commandline again, but things have boomeranged for many, many people still use the cli. I don't see this replacing video chat or even text chat.

3) I talked with a small company locally right after the htc vive came out, they were building tech like this (virtual meeting spaces) and I went to check it out, it was actually also the first time I had used the valve vr technology. The man interviewing me was in another room also on a vive rig. It is quite cool how eye contact works in a vr space. But at the end of the interview I left knowing that even if I got an offer I wouldn't take it but that also this technology was not going to break out in any meaningful way for a very long time. I'd been through this before and other simpler technologies just worked better.
And then some version of Russia-Ukraine happens with Australia where you are locked out of your email accounts and all bets are off

How about starting with mean time to merge a code change?

This weekend I read about how our food supply chain is responsible for a lot of greenhouse gases. As much as automobiles. That changing it could have a massive impact.

But, people don't like change that touches their food and leaders just won't even talk about it. How do we get people to be open to changes in stuff like this?
Korea’s supply chain risks resurface over Ukraine crisis
https://sourcewatch.org/index.php/Roger_Pielke_Jr.

Dr. Pielke's work on climate change effects has been criticized by Dr. Stephen Schneider, who said that with Pielke "one consistent pattern emerges-he is a self-aggrandizer who sets up straw men, knocks them down, and takes credit for being the honest broker to explain the mess-and in fact usually adds little new social science to his analysis"

The IPCC has consistently understated the risks to prevent general panic. That is actually what this submitted article is about.

>Semiconductors are also expected to suffer collateral damage from the Ukraine crisis. Ukraine is a major producer of rare gases essential for chips such as neon, argon, krypton and xenon. In particular, Ukraine produces almost 70 percent of the world’s neon gas.

>As Korea imports 23 percent of neon, 30.7 percent of krypton and 17.8 percent of xenon from Ukraine, the crisis can potentially push up their prices and cause complications in their supply chains.
That's what unions are for.
This isn't a given, and your stating of it as a certainty seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Those things only happen to the extent that voters let them and telling everyone that it's inevitable is exactly what keeps corruption running.

Tyler Cowen refers to this as the libertarian vice:
