News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

gumbo

My question was fair but seems like it hit a nerve. Wasn’t my intention but you should know that this is not Reddit. When you utter non sense you are expected to articulate it. But you had to switch so quickly to name calling a stranger. I wouldn’t want to be around you either I suppose since you seems to lack basic self-control. Are you a kid or what?

gumbo isn’t part of who I am, it’s just a word. If you sounded a little less unhinged I would have been upset by your venom.

Now the burden is on you to provide the many examples of such a company that has been reshaped to the image of those minorities?
This post just rubs me the wrong way. It’s needless to say that compagnies should hire the best talent they can afford. I’ve never talked to any entrepreneur who would do otherwise. The only people I’ve talked to who oppose DEI efforts were either blatantly sexist/racist (just my experience, you might not be). DEI initiatives are essentially cast a wide net initiatives; which the post itself say is Ok.

My reading between the lines of this post that Sir Wang only hire the best talent but is not going to care about the cast a wide net part.

The fact that the post also mention intelligence so many times is funny. Sometimes what a company needs is smart people, not intelligence. Some positions obviously would need a high level of IQ (intelligence?) but a policy of only hiring such a crowd is doomed to fail. There is a reason that average IQ humans are still around.

Mr Wang, thanks for helping me know to ignore the next Scale recruiter email. And good luck in building your so called meritocracy, I want no part of it.

The toggles filters are driving me nuts, as it stands, it unclear what the checked state is. One would assume that when the "handle" is on the right side, however, the color coding suggest otherwise. Congrats on your launch.

Just candid feedback here, I think you are being downvoted because your comment is actually quite hard to digest. And here, not event blaming it on the parentheses.
Here is the problem of U.S. news. Journalism has turned I to a contest for attention. How is it relevant to report on one (or even few) employees posting something?

Can we change the title. As is, it’s just click bait.

What is misleading. I just read the article again and these 3 messages captures the gist of the conversation quite well.
You mean ~500 million.
Got it thanks. Still, any data on how long a typical repo loans is?
I suspect that it won’t be too long until the Fed starts to buy stock the same way the BoJ has been buying stock for nearly 30 years.
Genuine question here. Any data on the typical duration of these loans? How long typically the Fed holds collateral?

I remember 2 years ago the market throwing a tantrum because of the fed unwinding it balance sheet. Doesn’t that mean that typical loans are never repaid and the Fed just let the bonds mature?

I would be curious to know how this helicopter money policy could affect inflation assuming the Covid-19 outbreak causes a bigger than anticipated supply-side shock.

This would increase wealth inequality because it’s mostly well-off Americans that own financial assets.

Look at the wealth inequality increase since 2008. It can mostly be attributed to federal reserve QE policy.

What would you describe as your expectation of what should and should not belong to HN?
This... the them and us dichotomy is really telling.

There are different lenses through which to view the world: a collaborative one.

Someone could also say something similar with regard to pollution, where it’s not the poor countries that are posing today an extension threat to the world.

Senior Engineer, soon to be ex-Googler looking for a new job that offers a remote working arrangement for someone living outside the US.

I have 12 years experience under my belt:

1) Funded my own company and lead it to an exit, not a big one, but a profitable one nonetheless.

2) Worked for a couple of years for start-ups in the Bay area as an early employee and grew successful engineering teams.

3) Joined Google 3 years ago on one of the 1+ billion users product.

I am now looking to join a team either as a Senior Software Engineer or a Senior SRE/DevOps. The right fit for me would be a lean engineering team that values meaningful work and meaningful relationships.

I have worked and solved some very hard problems over the years and am very autonomous. If this sounds like something you are looking for, please reach out. I am currently in the US, but if all goes well, I'll be making a move in 2 weeks.

Re:Show HN: Building computer labs in schools in Africa on Tuesday March 12, 2019 @11:50PM (#19375554)
It is great to see such initiative.

I have a very similar experience as your and can clearly relate . Somehow, I am also working on something similar with other folks, with a specific focus on Guinea (https://www.guineapromise.org/programs/mobile-lab).

One thing that we are realizing is that the scale of the work to be done is such that we have decided to shift our objective to be an inspirational one. We advocate, lobby and inspire schools, local governments to build science labs.

Is your focus mainly with computer labs, or are you interested in general purpose science labs?

I sent an email to your email dedicated to applicants, but my email was rejected because I did not include a CV. I do not maintain a CV and keep track of my job history using linked in. Is there any alternate email I should try?

I can work up 25 hours a week on an isolated effort or part of a larger team. Although I am asking for a lot of flexibility, I am convinced that my work will exceed your expectations.

Here we go. Zero conf :-)
This is very cool framework and I will certainly use it for small to medium sized apps or website. However, just going through the doc there doesn’t seems to be a way to split components since any file is assumed to be a page. Any way around that?

Lastly, it’s a shame that the doc link points to github. The doc, as layed out in github is a perfect use case for zero.

I can work up 20 hours a week on an isolated effort or part of a larger team. Since I have a day job, I need to have flexibility on what times I work. Looking for additional income to help fund the education of a loved one.

Please, if you are going to use this setup a new google account. The permissions that this requires is crazy.
I almost thought for a second that it would be an all self-driving Tesla race. How cool would that be! I personally would trust way more self driving cars when they reach that level of awesomeness. Not to say that I wouldn’t happily for self-driving car immediately.
