Ask HN: How to find a job in the Bay Area that is able to relocate from Chile
My name is Claudio, i am a Chilean FullStack Developer looking for a Job in the bay area. I have some Chilean friends working in the San Francisco, they say that there are a lot of companies that are able to relocate people from Latin America, because there is a big demand for developers, but i don't know how to find any of those companies, i have tried many job boards, but none of them says any information about that, i have also applied to many jobs in there, but it seems that they obviously prefer people already there.

By the way, we Chileans have access to a "fast track" work visa called H1B1 (http://1.usa.gov/1HhghVx), that is also available to Canadians and Mexicans, so it is easier to manage all the work permits.
Of course... various industries have found that certifications without an education path tie-in are near-pointless. Why? Because nobody can figure out how to do certification exams very well.

What a useful certification usually actually says isn't "this person can use this tool", it's "this person has been educated in a certain way and paid attention during that education, leading to the ability to use this tool".

For the vast, vast majority of certs out there where you don't have to take a course to take the exam, you can knowledge-cram for a comparatively short period of time, then take the exam without actually having much experience, even if "only" in a lab, then forget most of what you've learned shortly afterwards. As a result, few employers care about them.

If you want to do certs separate from education paths, you have to figure out a better way of testing people - possibly real-world (or at least lab-based, scenario-oriented) testing over a period of time.

Did anybody else find the third to last paragraph a little odd?

> As I never tire of pointing out, environmental progress depends on social progress. When people are desperately poor they have no choice but to pillage the commons — to cut down forests, or turn to crime. When those people find the means to support themselves with dignity, forests are protected and high-crime areas turn into healthy, walkable neighborhoods.

They cut down forests? Is that really a thing people do when they can't support themselves?
It's not so much an investment as a way to keep up with changing tastes. It's very common to "trade in" old jewelry for something new -- your jeweler will pull the stones from the old piece, melt it down, and make you something new.

Will this be possible with Apple gold? Maybe, but it sounds like the salvageable quantity from a watch band will be enough to make a ring, not another watch band.

She didn't say "Leave me alone if I ask you to." She once wrote that a man is a harasser for trying:

Hmm, I once took it upon myself to do exactly that (mostly using non-blocking sockets, skipping hostname lookups, etc.), but what's so "tricky" about this question?

Is the "tricky" part knowing how routers often drop ICMP replies if they exceed some threshold rate?

Actually, that is your net revenue number. You have gross revenue of $172k, minus a cost that isn't really part of your operations (Apple's cut), leaving you with net revenue.

Costs of goods sold (COGS) (or cost of services) is deducted from revenue to give you a gross profit number, from which are deducted sales, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) are deducted to get you to gross income, and then taxes are deducted to get you to net income.

I often draft net revenue provisions in contracts when someone is getting a percentage commission from the gross but things like returns, credits, other commissions, etc. should in fairness be deducted from that number.

Not all companies use gross and net revenue -- it really depends on the size of the component that goes away. Apple, for example, should not report $172k of revenue but rather their $72k cut as their net revenue -- since they never have a right to that other money, it could/would be misleading for them to report it as part of their operations.

That's your hard work, not theirs. Congratulations.

Very cool - the issue with believing that encrypting on the client is safer then relying a secure transport and a secure server is that the code on the client doing that encryption, came from the server. That said, it may still be an interesting layer of security to layer into your application. After all security is more about layers then absolutes.

> There is a lack of free open source state of the art game engines. The best one are based on the open sourced Quake 3 engine and Cube2, though they are 10-15 years old.

And most modern commercial engines are just as old. Unreal has been around since 98, and I'm sure there's at least some of the original code in there. Source is based on the quake engines too, and runs on an ancient version of Havok that valve licensed years ago. Cry engine I'm not sure about, having never looked at it. Most of the modern call of duty games run a modified quake engine. The problem doesn't just exist in open source engines. the difference is Commerical in house engines tend to start with a stock unreal engine, and rip it apart piece by piece until they're left with the same editor/base libraries, but almost entirely custom engine code underneath.

You are constructing a model from a short essay that was written to convey a certain point of view and then insisting that the model you have constructed must be 100% accurate. It's a strange exercise.

If she literally means that even glancing in her direction is harassment, that is pretty extreme, but if you glance at someone and they don't seem to notice you, it's probably not the right time to hit them up for a conversation.
From the article:
"it’s a really good idea to go and read the UEFI specification. You can do this. It’s very easy. You don’t have to pay anyone any money. [...] You can find it [right here on the official UEFI site]. You have to check a couple of boxes, but you are not signing your soul away to Satan, or anything."

Before people click on that link and start thinking the author of the article is a damn liar (the link takes one to a menacing "Access Denied" page which prompts users to login or register (which in turn involves filling out a form and possibly paying a large amount of money)), here is a link to free downloads of the specification documents (as PDF files):

http://www.uefi.org/specifications

And by the way, no need to check any boxes at all, just click any of the links and the download should start right away.
The examples section is quite confusing.

It says "These are input and output images..." and then display 3 images labeled as "Original image". I'm assuming original image means that it is input. But what is the output?
I think it's worth noting that Unreal Engine's source code is available free of charge, and they actively engage with the developer community on GitHub. It's an interesting cousin of Open Source, but nobody talks about this sort of business model.
Nice - I had the outlines for a robust library for doing this, but I deleted it since I was on a plane and did not want to figure out again about converting the image to base64. Perhaps I should have saved that code :( .

Art Is Long, Science Is Longer
Yes. For example, if you choose the encrypted hard drive option when installing Debian, it'll take forever, like, hours and hours, two digit numbers of hours, because it's reading from some /dev/urandom (I presume) to initialize the drive with random data. You can skip that step though. It's way better to do it beforehand using some script that uses something other than /dev/urandom. And maybe, don't put a 1 TB hard drive in a netbook or an older machine.

Idea: Companies setup a basic poll asking people to pick their favorite of 2-5 options. Customers pay $1 (or a little more) to vote.

Companies can use it to understand their actual customers better, people who are actually willing to pay. I was thinking it would be used to prioritized features but it could be used just to raise money. Customers would get a voice with the company, and would not get drowned out by potential customers who are not commited enough to pay a small amount.

I thought of this from the companies perspective so I'm having trouble thinking about it from the customers point of view. Would there be enough incentive for customers to pay?
Two main reasons:

1) SVG text scales as you scale the the SVG object so the text becomes unreadable pretty quickly as the artwork scales down, or looks hilariously large as it scales up. By rendering the text as html, we can scale the "graphic" up and down, but keep the text readable at the same font-size and line-height. This is important because we are trying to reduce the number of versions of the artwork that we have to create in order to accommodate viewports that range from mobile phones up to giant desktop monitors. An example of this is here: http://nyti.ms/1CQdkwq Change your window size when you view the page and you'll see the artwork scale but the text stays the same size. More examples here: https://delicious.com/archietse/ai2html,responsive

2) When Illustrator saves the SVG, every line of text is broken into separate SVG elements which makes editing the text very difficult. By having the text rendered in HTML, it is much easier for editors to go into the CMS and make edits without having to wade through a tangle of SVG code.
Obviously the comparison is far from perfect.

But to my knowledge, if a strange man approached strange woman in SA, he could get in trouble for that. There are expectations and restrictions on both sexes, which ultimately leads to the situation where strange men and women can't interact. If I'm mistaken and men can interact freely with strange women in SA, then my bad.

And obviously she wouldn't be the one who laid down the law in that country. But the eventual outcome would have been the same.

> , but the difference is that feminists believe in empowering women to decide for themselves who they chose to interact with,

So, a strange man should just hold his peace unless spoken to? That sounds familiar.

Either that or none of the sexes are allowed to initiate contact with another. Which again leads to the comparison to SA.

EDIT: Imagine if a woman from non-SA thought "I want to live under Sharia Law" (for whatever reason). She could then make the free choice to move to SA. Now, while in SA, she would have the same (lack of) woman rights as other women in SA. But it was her own choice to put herself in that situation. In the same sense, women are freely able to express that they want something like sex segregation in "our" society. That is a free choice on their part. But if that somehow comes reality, they might not have so much free choice any more, if SA is any indication. But those two moments in time are different with regards to freedom of choice.
I think the problem is fundamentally that two separate concerns are entangled: education, and certification.

There's actually one or two other concerns, too: networking and fun. Some of the value I and many other people got from college is meeting others with similar interests.

Regarding fun (and parties), I get the sense that most HN readers probably aren't or weren't party animals, but that's actually a pretty common reason for people to go to college, per Sperber's Beer and Circus (http://www.amazon.com/Beer-Circus-Crippling-Undergraduate-Ed...) and Armstrong and Hamilton's Paying for the Party (http://jakeseliger.com/2014/04/27/paying-for-the-party-eliza...).

I don't really have a sense of how the university bundle really breaks down into core value.
Tutorials that actually validate whether they currently work.

One use case would be tutorials on deploying to IAAS/PAAS providers. Deploying always seems to be the hard part after I build something; I don't like using the same language and IAAS/PAAS twice for learning purposes. It's complicated even more so as many tutorials don't reference when they were written or which code versions they used. The site would require this information, and then use it to periodically attempt to deploy that sample to AWS/Digital Ocean/etc (whichever the tutorial is covering), and prominently display whether the tutorial currently works.

Yeah but "in the browser" is not "on the client". Do we have browser internal encryption engines yet? Encrypting in the JS has the problem that someone trying to read your nodes could MITM you other JS files, that allow him to read your clear text notes.

English defamation law recently (2013) changed.

If Ann calls Bob a cheat and a liar she has the defences of:

1: truth

2: fair comment (eg, Bob isn't a cheat or a liar but has behaved in a way that would make a reasonable person to think he is)

3: protection (eg Ann could have said it in the House of Commons and is thus immune from prosecution).

To get damages Bob (if he's a public figure) has to show that Ann was malicious -- that Ann knew the comments to be untrue or she recklessly disregarded the truth; if Bob is a private individual he only needs to show Ann was negligent in obtaining the truth. (That's compensatory damages. For punitive damages malice has to be present.)

I also think the smartphone market is quite different from the PC business.

It's much easier now to create a viable platform than it was back then. Apps are much simpler. You can bootstrap an entire ecosystem by just implementing a few services (messaging, email, maps & a few others).

Nokia was on its way with the N700-N9/Maemo-Meego series, and afterwards with Nokia X. Both killed before getting the chance to succeed, but they might have had an impact had they lived longer.

Jolla is now taking the same route, but also adding an Android VM which offers almost seamless interop with Android apps. Very interesting approach. Not fully open yet, though.

If I were Xiaomi, I would go full steam ahead with MIUI. Don't just create another shallow Android mod. There are too many of those already. Try to evolve it into a whole open ecosystem free of Google. Think Cyanogen + f-droid, on steroids. It would really make them different.
