agentile··on Ask HN: How to get web development career on track from being homeless?
We are hiring Senior Full Stack Engineers. We care about hiring engineers that have experience solving problems across the stack, have a willingness to learn, will bring something to the table and fit into our culture. If we see that you have that, teaching you React is not a big deal. It is more important to us that you know the core languages well and their best practices than framework X.

Feel free to apply to https://boards.greenhouse.io/followupboss/jobs/84965

or reach out to me directly at anthony at followupboss and we can chat further.

While you may be senior level to a recruiter, what we consider senior is usually quite different. Regardless of your situation, you would be competing against other potentially more qualified candidates.

agentile··on As New Zealand Courts Tech Talent, Isolation Becomes a Draw
Ah, that is right, it was a while back that I researched it, and that was indeed the issue, that the double taxation would happen over $100k.
agentile··on As New Zealand Courts Tech Talent, Isolation Becomes a Draw
Yes, I may have that wrong. At the time I was a contractor so the fear was the following situation per "If you're a New Zealand resident, you're taxed on your worldwide income."

If we wanted to eventually become residents of NZ, which we did, and I was obtaining income in the US, NZ and US would both tax me for that income.

It seemed, however, less likely that NZ would approve me for immigration if I was not intending to contribute my talents to a company within NZ, so in that case, if I obtained a job in NZ, I would be taxed in NZ, and US would again tax me as well for that income due to US citizenship.

agentile··on As New Zealand Courts Tech Talent, Isolation Becomes a Draw
A while back I was going through the immigration process for NZ with an immigration lawyer and had all the points necessary and was moving on to the interview phase.

My wife and I ultimately decided to stop as she became pregnant and didn't want to be as far away from family. That and the flight/quarantine times that would be imposed for our dogs. Another big issue was taxes.

To my knowledge NZ and USA are two countries that will try to tax you wherever you live until you die unless you renounce citizenship. So dealing with being double taxed on income from NZ and USA was a big deal as well.

Whenever I read these articles, it does sound so appealing. My sister has lived there for many years and the quality of life just seems so much better.

agentile··on What Happened to Old School NLP?
Fair enough, I think in my thesis I referred to it as a sentence representation. I think it may actually serve to be a good example of some of the compromises being done in application. Sometimes people need some of that high level useful information, but not within a deeper, more comprehensive format/structure for efficiency sake even if some knowledge and subsequent accuracy is lost. My experience was that some of the tools out there in NLP land didn't always make this an easy thing to do.
agentile··on What Happened to Old School NLP?
Reading this article, particularly the part about sentiment analysis, was interesting to me because last year I did my thesis[1] regarding sentiment classification using a somewhat mixed approach (albeit pretty simple) where I factored in basic sentence structure in addition to word features to see improvement in accuracies. I found it really neat to see various cases where particular sentence structures like PRP RB VB DT NN would be much more likely to show up for a positive sentiment e.g. "I highly recommend this product" vs negative sentiment e.g. "They totally misrepresent this product"

I get the impression that while it is true the computational side of computational linguistics has seemingly seen more attention for lucrative reasons, but now it is seeing some success there more people trying to incorporate more from the linguistic side, when it doesn't cause for a huge amount of computational expense.

It doesn't seem like anything new, however, that business needs drive funding for particular areas in academia. Sadly, more so than ever considering the greed of the school systems (but that is another topic).
