SEEKING WORK - Remote, based out of Boston, MA

My name is Sam, and I’m a front-end web specialist. Here are a few examples of problems I can help you solve:

- Your site looks great and loads fast on your computer, but it’s broken and slow on smartphones and tablets.

- You keep getting emails that your site isn’t working quite right in a few browsers, or in a few countries.

- Your site’s codebase hasn’t seen any attention in a while, and you’re pretty sure there’s room for improvement.

- You have a great idea for a service or product, but need someone to knock out the implementation while avoiding all the aforementioned troubles.

Beyond my focus on the front end, I also have design experience — UI / UX, logo and branding design — and experience with server-side development as well. I’m T-shaped, if you will, so if I don’t have the right answer to a problem I can point you in the right direction towards finding the solution.

So, two points.

1. Asians suffer a penalty of 50 points relative to whites. We can equally say, using the numbers from rjdagost's comment, that whites themselves suffer a penalty of 230 points.

2. The entire concept of the normally curved scores is that one 50-point difference is just as significant as any other 50-point difference. That's why we use standard deviations to compare things. It is true that scores at the very high end are more volatile, since most of the test's "space" is devoted to distinguishing between people in the middle of the range, but 1300 does not seem to be at a level where that worry would make sense; the data I have to hand is a score report from 2000 saying "on average, a person with a math score of 710 loses 2 points on a second testing", which is pretty reliable. And regardless, while an individual student might easily lose 30 points by retesting, group averages don't move so easily.

It doesn't look like the article is not about HFT in particular or even trading professionals in general. It's about academic articles, where the incentive is to publish a paper, not to make money. I recall (but cannot find) a paper that looked at the sort of strategies published by academics. Younger, non-tenured professors sometimes published results that were actually interesting, because they needed to get a job and built a reputation. Older professors don't do that. If they find an effect that's real, they take it to a hedge fund. There isn't too much incentive to publish a paper about something that will really make you money.

"Orwellian" has become one of HN's least useful snarl words that now communicates nothing aside from "I disagree with this point of view and consequently the way it is framed."

If you were black, you might see it as "Orwellian" when someone claims an admissions policy is non-discriminatory when it results in a class that is 6% black and 29% Asian among U.S. students (this is CMU), while blacks make up 13% of the U.S. population and Asians make up 5.3%.

You are trying to cloak your subjective opinion in the veneer of science and objectivity with nonsense about "verifiable and falsifiable," but it doesn't work. In your example - "Republicans feel that they're treated poorly by the media" - what would be a falsifiable and verifiable statement? "Republicans ARE treated poorly by the media?" How is that or any statement like it falsifiable or verifiable?

Likewise, in what way are questions of racial fairness verifiable or falsifiable? If one policy is "race blind" and results in some minorities being seriously under-represented, is it fair because of its "race blindness" or unfair because of its outcome? If another policy takes race into consideration, is it unfair because it takes race into consideration in admissions or fair because its outcome results in a proportional representation?

It's a question of values, not a question of science. Depending on your point of view you are going to see it very differently from someone else.
> Just get the machine to do it.

Exactly. Many people already use IDEs, or programs which provide auto-completion or hinting of the types a function accepts when writing out a function name - the type does not need to be explicitly written for the machine to identify the type of the function.

> Right now, if you're an ISP startup and you identify some neighborhoods where it would make sense to build fiber, most cities won't let you. Instead, to build anywhere, you have to build everywhere.

Which is a good thing, because otherwise you wind up with communities which are further disadvantaged in access to information, education and work.

The solution is for the Government (federal, state, or municipal) to provide funding to build out into poor/remote areas (but still require it), not to throw your hands up and suggest that it is OK to exclude entire communities from what is quite possibly the most important technical development of the past couple of decades.
Not surprising, if you're already succesful you want your children to be happy, and you don't have this burning need to live through your children or make sure they get to do everything you missed out on at any cost.

That's interesting, I wonder how the emergent Chinese middle class is informing this.

It's really such a difficult and complicated topic. But I think the action/reaction dynamic is largely explainable and understandable.

The people who I really don't get are the ones that know better, the Amy Chua's of the world. Who have the education, the sophistication and the cultural integration to escape it, yet simply repeat the cycle of abuse, mindlessly.

While the "death march" approach has largely worked to get immediately (within a generation) into "prestige" and well paying occupations. There's also a huge number of burned out kids with absolutely shattered parental relationships.

There's several reddits dedicated to basically being support groups for deeply depressed, deeply damaged kids who grew up in this kind of grind.
> The FCC should act to ban anti-competition municipal measures like build-out requirements.

I'm not sure it would be a good idea for the FCC to ban buildout requirements across the board. That seems really heavy-handed.

Buildout requirements can be bad, in that they hold back an entire region to the least common denominator, but they can also be used as a bargaining chip to force service to regions that otherwise would never receive service at all.

Remember that local politicians are much more beholden to the needs of their constituents than the FCC is[0], so if an entire neighborhood is being technologically blighted, it may make sense for the city council or town to use build-out requirements to ensure that those neighbourhoods don't get remain stuck in the 20th century.

I think it makes far more sense to let cities and states negotiate these requirements than to disallow them across the board. Over time, it'll be clear that cities that don't impose all-or-nothing build requirements get much better service in wealthier and denser neighbourhoods (like Google Fiber), and other cities will either follow suit or not.

[0] and this is a good thing; they should be attuned to what their constituents need

At DotProduct, a mobile 3D Computer Vision company, we have two open full-time positions in engineering. Location is either in our R&D headquarters located in Wiesbaden, Germany (Frankfurt am Main area) or in our office in Waltham, MA.

== 1. Senior R&D Engineer in Computer Vision ==
== 2. Software Engineer in Mobile ==

== About the Senior R&D engineer position:

We are looking for a software engineer with a strong Computer Vision or Graphics background and experience in GPGPU or mobile development (ideally both), to join our core technology R&D. We prefer candidates who are proficient both on a theoretical/algorithmic level and in practical implementation (mostly C++ and shader languages) of Computer Vision and Graphics algorithms, and who can make contributions to our product and core technology from the start. Candidates should be able to present relevant work experience either through previous work (employed, freelance, PhD studies, Post-Doc etc..) or extra-curricular work / open source contributions.

== About the Software Engineer in Mobile position:

We are looking for a strong, hands-on, detail-oriented coder with experience in mobile development (Android or iOS), to join front-end and tools development. Practical skill and programming experience are preferred over academic achievements for this role. Required language skills are Java and C++. Experience in iOS technologies (Objective-C, Swift, Metal), bash, Python, Javascript and web-development are a plus (but not required). A background in Computer Vision and Graphics is not required, however the ability and interest to learn about them is. Also, candidates should have the ability to discuss, design and implement UI.

== General information:

Our technology stack is for the most part Java, C++ and GPU languages. Platforms we target are (in order of importance) Android, Windows, MacOS, iOS and Linux. We strive to make everything we do really really fast. Our R&D team is still intimate so any new hire can have large impact on product and future developments. Both positions are local and full-time. We prefer candidates who are able to spend at least 3 full days per week together with the team in the office.

Besides the opportunity to work with an international team of experts on leading mobile Computer Vision technology and a nice work place we offer a well-above market rate salary. Significant equity is part of the compensation package.

== About DotProduct:

We are a team of seasoned entrepreneurs and Computer Vision professionals that brings real-time dense 3D capturing to mobile devices equipped with advanced camera sensors. Our current product, the DPI-8 Kit (consisting of an off the shelf NVIDIA tablet and a Primesense Carmine sensor) has been launched in August 2013 and enjoys great success with high-end 3D professionals in various industries. We are backed by Intel Capital and various angel investors. Our office locations are Houston, TX (manufacturing and order execution), Boston, MA (management, marketing, sales) and Wiesbaden, Germany (R&D).

As the story was told to me, the question was specifically probed of passing 50% women, which is obviously the tipping point at which additional women make you less "diverse" in the dictionary sense. I provided the particular numbers 70% and 60% so my comment would read better, since I can't recall the exact wording as it was told to me. Very true that I can't personally attest to this. You'll have to judge for yourself whether it's more likely that my roommate's dad (an engineer at Raytheon, if it helps you one way or the other) made it up to have something to complain about to his family, or whether he noticed something ridiculous, tested it, and complained to his family.

Two areas I would make the case that Nim is better at (than Go) are interop with C and creating a DSL (as with Jester, the Sinatra-like web framework):

I think that there's a lot of overlap for the types of problems that can be solved by either, but I like writing in Nim more than I like writing in Go.

Thanks for the advice, I was just a bit disappointed when I saw the downvotes. I promise I won't whine anymore. ;)
no one lives in a cave here. It's close to impossible to keep away from the noise. After all sharing news is being part of the human community. You don't want to cut yourself from it.

However you don't want to get overwhelmed and there's a lot of sensationalist journalism out there that seeks to stimulate your reptilian brain. On the other hand theres' also good (aka rational/analytical) journalism that helps making a sane narrative out of it without getting you stuck in the rabbit hole.

Stay close to those whatever side of the political spectrum you find yourself and you'll save a lot of time.
