cjeane··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (May 2024)
Location: San Francisco / Houston Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: Swift, JS, HTML, Rust, PHP Résumé/CV: https://www.chrisjeane.com/resume Email: sysop@chrisjeane.com

For my latest client I built a Vision Pro application for Orthopedic surgeries. Working from mockups and vision boards, I was able to create a trade show demo in 14 days and ready for surgery in less than a month.

I am interested in creating products on emerging technologies, especially AR and Spatial computing.

Privileges of running the IPO. The bank needs to leave upside room for its "best" customers. The company wants to be fully booked and raise as much as possible. It's a balancing act for both sides, with non perfect information.
cjeane··on Ohio Sues 5 Major Drug Companies For 'Fueling Opioid Epidemic'
Cannabis can help many conditions including anxiety but because of its long history of demonization it has not been standardized and requires a lot of work on the part of the patient to zero in on the correct dosage. This is starting to change with products like tinctures being more and more available that provide the ability to easily have lower / long lasting dosages.

Taking ibuprofen for your pain today is perfectly acceptable. Taking it everyday in an attempt to treat chronic pain is not. There are heart and liver disorders linked to long term ibuprofen use.
cjeane··on Ohio Sues 5 Major Drug Companies For 'Fueling Opioid Epidemic'
How is your opinion informed on the highly additive nature of cannabis? As with any substance cannabis can be abused and can have negative consequences; however to say that is it highly addictive is highly misleading.

I agree that anxiety can be an issue especially with novice users, but those effects vary person to person and strain to strain.

cjeane··on Trump Fires Acting Attorney General
The current refugee vetting process is very rigorous and would be a terrible avenue for ISIS agents to get into the US and other western nations, although I'm sure they would try. The process I went through to get a security clearance was about an 1/8 of the refugee vetting process and it was an incredibly invasive process. Obviously no vetting is 100% effective, but I'm highly skeptical that there will be a better process in 3 months. Then do we continue to ban these people our of fear?

As you said the question is: 'What would it take for his supporters to turn away from him?' Trump supporters may not not have breaking point when it comes to helping those that they don't have a perceived connection to.

> We're talking about two bans of 120 and 90 days respectively

Proponents say they are temporary measures, so that there is time to 'figure out what is going on'. No matter how you feel about this EO it was implemented in sloppy and unprofessional manner. It was poorly written, Agencies were not notified or instructed on the exact intent, there was no time for review from Legal Council. How am I supposed to extrapolate that this farce will produce better immigration enforcement than the already stringent vetting that was in place? When they have no better alternative I have to predict that these blanket bans get extended for 'safety reasons'.

> due to the 'persecuted religious minority' aspect of the EO, a Sunni in a predominantly Shia nation and vice versa would still qualify. It also lays out being open to reviews on an individual basis.

This is great conjecture, but it is unclear, at this time, if as implemented a Sunni qualifies for this status. You have frontline DHS agents deciding these case by case reviews without clear orders. I don't believe they will err on the side of possibly getting it wrong. Denying will always be the default.

> It's also not a Muslim ban.

It's obviously not a muslim ban, but that is who will be disproportionally affected.

There was so much hope that poker would be granted legal status about a year ago, but congress does tend to get sidetracked.

Nice to see other 2+2ers on HN.

Constitutional law is so much more complicated than, "this is what the document says". What is happening is here is reprehensible, but I don't think you will find any defense against it in due process.
cjeane··on Screw you. Pay me.
Is this what we are calling an article? Five sentences plus a warning that the video is offensive. If this was posted on any no name blog, there would be a lot more pressure to link to the original video only. I call double standard.

The Texas workforce commission is an agency that attempts to place unemployed people in jobs. The records they maintain are largely not on government employees.
cjeane··on Texas leaks 3.5 million private records including DOB and SS
The title is inaccurate. Many of the records where from State run retirement programs, but not everyone affected is/was a state employee. Texas is a big place. The Teacher Retirement System of Texas(one of the affected organizations) alone has over 1.3 million members.

cjeane··on AT&T has a fiberoptic splitter copying our data to NSA
The key here is that the data is obtained via a 3rd party. Once you as an individual share any information with a 3rd party you lose any expectation of privacy. In the digital world there are specific carve outs for email, but not much else.

These actions are terrible, but completely legal.
