Ask HN: What are the best practices for submitting tech talks?
I want to get started doing talks at tech conferences. I have several (hopefully) decent topics which are a cross between security and AI/machine learning. My plan is to build up experience with smaller, local opportunities like meetups and small regional conferences. (I am not a complete speaking noob -- I do internal corporate talks frequently and have done a bunch of college seminars).I...

I disagree, every year I go over a hundred of new-grads resumes from top schools and interview for dozens of security engineer and researcher positions. My basic impression is that no undergrad program has any worthwhile undergrad-level security emphasis. I would definitely give someone with such a masters degree a second or third look.
Re:Ask HN: Best place to host technical blog?

Sorry, I'm only familiar with the "one author, one blog" format... so, at the risk of sounding dumb, what exactly is levelup.gitconnected.com? I see it's an aggregation of articles from different authors, hosted on medium... Do you act as the 'editor' for a group of regular contributers, do you go out cherry pick articles from medium at large, is it automatically generated somehow from a pool of articles, or ...?
EDIT: n/m, I found faq on publications!
Ask HN: Best place to host technical blog?
I occasionally write technical articles (such as in-depth how-to's, exploratory data analysis, etc) on topics like web, devops, and security. However they have very low traffic and I'm considering hosting on somewhere like medium, wordpress, blogspot, etc. Which hosting do you prefer?Few side notes which may matter: 1) I don't care about monetization. 2) I do care about source code...

They haven't done enough "damage". That's why the problem leaked from the traditional 'silicon valley' (south bay) area, crept into SF, and now 700 sq ft apartments in fucking orinda and richmond are $2000+. We can't wait for the nimby's to die off -- get rid of prop 13, rent control, zone everywhere in SF for 30 story buildings, before you can't even afford an aparment in Antioch and Tracy.

I would think having their employees in the office for an extra 2 hours per day because of reduced commute would be more beneficial.

People in the community probably want their slummy airbnb's and garages to rent keep renting for astronomical rates.
Also, we're not in China but the population density issue is the same. If the jobs are in one location, you don't actively prevent new housing or better public transportation.

Why can't tech companies out-muscle NIMBY's and get 30-50 story residential buildings approved? After spending time in different parts of China, it seems asinine that most buildings here don't exceed ~4 stories.

It ostensibly is a tool that follows the model/philosophy of unix: ie, a command line utility that does one thing well, inputs and outputs are text so they can be piped together, etc.
