I'm moving to SF this month and in the process of looking for a new job. I am currently a 1st grade teacher in Northern Virginia.

I know this thread is primarily for software engineers but I would love to be considered for other opportunities that may be available. I am extremely hard working, a fast learner, and great working as a team.

Thank You!
I think it's worth entertaining the possibility that these companies are not actually producing anything after their "pivot" but are just bilking investors.

>they might be great if you're doing scripting, messing around with the back end, or dong DB stuff. But for me, writing day-to-day JS, HTML, CSS code, VIM seems like a very huge burden.

Why is back-end different from front-end? It's all text on a screen. Your statement amounts to, "It might be good for writing and viewing text on a screen but for me, someone writing and viewing text on a screen, it seems like a burden."

Sure you can. Karma is mostly an indicator of tending to post things that are popular, and there's a pretty big bonus to that if you happen to have name recognition as a popular figure. If you're a popular figure and your natural inclination in writing is in a direction which would be generally well-received on HN, you can get lots of karma whether or not you have much understanding of the community.

(Of course, if you wanted to maximize your karma, developing an understanding of the community would help. But that understanding isn't a necessary precondition to getting a high karma score.)
Better, but not good enough.

No one (in this thread at least) has said that they are not supposed to "spy" completely. What people are concerned with is dragnet surveillance. The way you are framing the issue is a classic case of a false dilemma.

EDIT: My apologies, it looks like the top comment does drop that in at the end. That is indeed an unfortunate generalization. I do think that a more moderate and "middle-of-the-HN-crowd" approach would actually entail something short of dragnet surveillance though.

As the article reports, the late agronomist Norman Borlaug helped fix the world food problem, and the late economist Julian Simon helped get the world thinking about how little of a problem population growth really is.

"One thing that happened on the road to doom was that the world figured out how to feed itself despite its rising numbers. No small measure of thanks belonged to Norman E. Borlaug, an American plant scientist whose breeding of high-yielding, disease-resistant crops led to the agricultural savior known as the Green Revolution. While shortages persisted in some regions, they were often more a function of government incompetence, corruption or civil strife than of an absolute lack of food.

"Some preternaturally optimistic analysts concluded that humans would always find their way out of tough spots. Among them was Julian L. Simon, an economist who established himself as the anti-Ehrlich, arguing that 'humanity’s condition will improve in just about every material way. [This has proven to be true all over the world.] In 1997, a year before he died, Mr. Simon told Wired magazine that 'whatever the rate of population growth is, historically it has been that the food supply increases at least as fast, if not faster.'"

I am old enough to remember when the ideas in the book The Population Bomb seemed like fresh, new ideas. Decades later, the world Ehrlich and I still live in seems more like a confirmation of criticisms of the book[1] than like a confirmation of the book. Since the book was first published, I have spent many years living in Taiwan, starkly poor when I was born and still poor when the book was published, and one of the more densely populated countries of the world during most of my lifetime, but today a prosperous, delightful place to live. The population of the United States has increased greatly in my lifetime, but the United States is still a great place to live too. Fears of great harm from a population explosion were just wrong, that's all. This article is part of a great article series published by the New York Times looking back on predictions from earlier eras and how they turned out.

Ask HN: Why is communication among physically nearby devices still impractical?
Why is peer to peer ad hoc communication among physically nearby commercially available end user devices still impractical in the 21st century? Why 5+ smart devices sitting on my desk and 20+ smart devices around my house can't communicate, sync or exchange information without going through servers thousands of miles away? What stops companies implementing simple both way fm radio, or ad hoc wlan communication, or mesh of all the smart devices? Even, IoT which once came with the promise to remove this digital divide is now forming on infrastructure centered model. Smart devices now a days mean always-connected-to-the-infrastructure devices. What is the reason behind the huge gap between physically nearby and digitally nearby for today's smart devices?

Possible reasons that come to my mind are-

. Technically not feasible.

. Significantly less value from business perspective.

. Government(s) discourage companies to improve significantly in peer to peer ad hoc technology for security reasons.

Any idea? What's going on?

A better question is how useful is let at all? Having two different variable scoping rules with no way to know which one a variable is using without backtracing sounds like a maintenance nightmare. I understand what is it good for, but it seems like we are replacing a small problem with a bigger problem.

An even better question is why not get rid of var and make every variable local to its parent function? To alter globals, use the window object explicitly.
Think of FPGAs as having the potential to be primitive GPGPUs. They outperform CPUs in all the same areas GPUs outperform CPUs.

FPGAs are like GPUs with no floating-point, no caches, and limited local memory. But if you can implement a kernel in FPGA with comparable memory bandwidth, you'll usually outperform GPGPU while using as little as 1/50 the power.
