they have a history of outages - though not as long.

your attitude is everything wrong with front end development

curious, what changes do you want to see?

nobody think "AI" thinks "rachel maddow is a man" except for people who don't get AI - which is amusing given the authors attempt at being authoritative in the field. There's a reason this didn't get a bunch of upvotes.

Really, just lazy article writing. Come back with some meaningful insights or research. If the author wishes to play on people's ignorance of AI, HN is not the place to do it.

does anyone actually use this? it looks convoluted.

My advice would be: don't hesitate to walk away. If they are unprofessional from the start, it's a huge red flag, and never works out. Don't put up with BS like 30 minute psyche profiles, or code tests before talking to anyone about the role or culture.

recruiters can be helpful - and frustrating. It's a mixed bag, but there have been a few good ones.

Be patient, do other things in the meantime. Anything you can get locally will have a better chance than remote.

Use something like resumasters.co to polish up your resume and linkedin.

Otherwise, don't get discouraged!

Personally I think it's trying to hard to be cool. I'm all for making a calculator look cool - but this presented the data in an unclear/unhelpful way. Would be better if it was simpler/clearer.

First off, congrats!

Lots of great advice in this thread that is impossible to beat. But $8M means you can do whatever you want: including nothing. You can do absolutely nothing. Or! change your life. It's up to your personality and how you view money and time. You don't HAVE to work anymore... or you could go work at something that excites you. Or travel the world.

But whatever you do, use it to do some good in this world. Even if that's just being a great father to your kids.

for image classification? I don't think so.

Transit? Talent wants remote.

> The spam fax felt like a gift from God.

Did you ever think you would read such a sentence - and that it would be real?

> The advance turned out to be for $36,762, repaid in $800 daily debits from their bank account starting the day after they got the money. This would continue for about three months, until they’d repaid $59,960, amounting to an annualized interest rate of more than 350 percent. A small price to pay, Doug figured—soon he’d have all the money he needed in cheaper, longer-term debt.

totally speechless. $800 in DAILY payments, at 350% interest, for a TRYOUT loan that he didn't even need, in order to get a bigger loan of $800K. FROM A SPAM FAX. And to top it off - they didn't talk to their lawyer, or (i assume) accountant.

> Jerry Bush, who ran a plumbing business with his father in Roanoke, Va., signed confessions for at least six cash advances from companies including Yellowstone, taking one loan after another as his payments mounted to $18,000 a day.

A day! how could any small business handle that?

This is just heartbreaking. While these were horrible (or desperate) financial decisions - it's not their fault for being victims. This is what laws and regulations are for. We can and will eventually stop this from happening. I think this being a series of stories will help give it the spotlight it needs.

To that, this is a service I offer: improving the socialbility and softskills of developers and teams.

There's some decent advice in this thread. And no matter what you do it'll take work and change. But if anyone wants to improve on their softskills, i'd be happy to work with you! r.softskilldevs@ruru.name

But look where he was coming from: he was homeless before. He has purpose now, and is engaged. Yes, it's unbalanced - and i would surely burn out from it. But he seems happy, and grateful for what he has. Satisfaction in life comes in many shapes and sizes.

It's true. iirc he's been a giant douche his entire life according to people that have known him.

to perhaps reinforce your point: I put a filter on the front (as in this video) and the fan died a few weeks later.

not the 0.1 size particles they talk about - all but the highest end filters cant remove that small. The best bet is to treat it like a gas and exhaust it.

> we know eating red meat is bad for you. We know that a balanced diet favoring vegetables is good for you

What do we know, exactly? Because we've known lots of stuff that turns out to be bunk. And I am seeing increasing evidence that a one-size-fits-all diet isn't healthy - some people will need more or less of different things, or to abstain entirely from categories.

Not saying this is a good idea - but It's hard to say to what degree it isn't.

> I wrote my own financial advisor (not directly utilizing deep learning, that functions relatively well)

I do not see enough data to backup the claims of how well it works. And if you can't provide that - what good is it as a tool?

I'm not going to complain about a company refocusing their profitability and adjusting things - good for them.

but i think this was horrible messaging. I would have much rather appreciated a more straightforward approach, instead of trying to get me to be excited for being limited to 1,000 images and video. I think it shows flickr still has a ways to go in building trust - because being disingenuous in messaging doesn't build it.

Not just four hour work week - almost all of Tim Ferris's content rubs me this way. I think he's good at writing books that will sell - not necessarily books that contain a lot of meaningful information; the latter being more boring and not nearly as sexy. It's enough fact to keep you going, but a noticeable thread of bullshit throughout.

how can you look at the history of Microsoft and call their playbook conspiracy theory?

Actually, Gary is very real. A lot of people are trying to be entrepreneurs where they shouldn't. they overthink, trying to be the next facebook, when they just need to make a few thousand to pay their rent.

I've been watching a lot of his stuff lately - my bullshit detector is pretty sensitive. He's not full of bullshit. He's got a LOT of great advice and ideas. Maybe his "ego" is a turn-off for some, but he's doing a lot more good than harm.

You don't get anywhere by talking smack on others, and this post is little more than a bitch that Gary is successful, has a large and engaged audience, and has a message that resonates with people. All things I'm sure the author would LOVE to have.

What worthwhile thing has the author said or done that runs counter to what Gary is about?

> Many contract shops would be happy to tell you that "no one will pay that", pay you $65 hour and then turn around and charge $130+.

or $55/$150 in my case :(

I know a certain framework creator that will be all over this - and has been vocal on twitter about it.

I went looking, this seems like a pretty good air quality monitor: https://www.amazon.com/AirVisual-Quality-Monitor-Accuracy-Pa... (~$400)

There are cheaper ones too; but do your research, as accuracy (and ideas about what constitutes accurate) can vary from manuf. to manuf.

also apparently, a box fan + filter ain't so bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH5APw_SLUU

Yeah, but what does it take to actually create the provisional patent? Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it not $70 + thousands of dollars in legal fees?

Yeah - shuttering Google+, and their reasoning, was a huge violation of trust. My faith in them as an institution has been impacted and i now feel forced to migrate services away.

Well, if this isn't my life to a T. A THIRD of the workforce though? I wouldn't wish what I'm going through on anyone. I had no idea it was so widespread.

Rails is optimized for small teams to ship code to multiple platforms. When I visit indiehackers and see people posting about their struggles creating a page to update user profiles and the associated back end code - it's not hard to see why it's more productive. There is very little in the way of boilerplate or BS.

There is nothing out there that has anything close to the productivity of rails. Not that there can't be; it's just not a mindset/approach the industry has embraced.
