Hi EMs,
There are thousands of resources to become a better IC Engineer in any programming language. As a engineering leader, I am curious what tools and resource have you found useful for better managing engineering teams/org.

Recently, I have been interviewing for senior leadership roles at mid-size/large companies. I am currently a VP but I do not manage a very large team.The feedback I usually get is: although I excelled in the skills required for the job, I lacked executive presence & gravitas. I have a little bit of impostor syndrome and English is not my first language although I am pretty good at it. I am...

I am a bit bored with the data science field. Main reasons being slower pace, usually late/optional hires at startups, lack of understanding of value in bigger orgs, career ceiling after Director/VP level. At mid/later stage career, is switching to product, engineering, etc a good option? Anyone who has done it and is willing to share tips?thanks

We are building a startup which deals with user's health data record or EHR.The value proposition to the end user is lower price, better health management for chronic issues. We do not plan on using the data for ads or share it with any other partner.But, recently WSJ published this article https://www.wsj.com/articles/your-health-data-isnt-as-safe-as-you-think-11574418606

At a lot of companies, the data science group is still analyzing data and providing support for business decisions. Do you have examples of projects in your workplace/industry where ML/AI has a big impact?

If you skip 2 or 3 levels and end up in a position in which you have to lead and manage people more experienced or smarter than yourself while also managing a ton of projects and priorities. How should one prepare?
I believe a lot of founders of somewhat successful companies had to do it. I am curious on how people successfully do this.

Hi HN,
After working at few successfully companies, if one wants to offer advising services to startups (part-time), how does one go about that? Are these roles only available to members of VC or Accelerator Firms?

Most AI groups that I find are from ACM/ IEEE etc. I work in industry and I do not have much research background but I am looking to join few groups or volunteer in a committee that entertains non-researchers AI practitioners? Are there any such groups?
Thanks Peter for doing this. I have a question regarding the EB1A category. I recently received my I140 under EB2 category. I was wondering if I can apply for another I140 under EB1A category.
My question is if I get rejected under EB1A do I keep my existing priority date (EB2) ? Also what are the chances of getting approval on EB2 to EB1? Thanks

I work as an engineer in machine learning/big data field. Its not part of my day job but I wanted to get started with publishing research papers. A research portfolio will help me with job, learning, immigration and higher studies.There is no one I can find to pair with. I am willing to do a lot of engineering work, data work but I have no experience when it comes to writing and publishing...

I really wish to work with some VC firms and Startups to offer my expertise for free and just getting more involved with them. I am not really sure how to approach them or do they even need such help.I do not wish to charge any money but instead just want to be more involved with the community. (I currently work as a data scientist/engineer by profession.)Has anyone here tried such thing before?
I am in same boat. There is a YC startup simplelegal that is trying to do this. But startups can't fix main issues with the immigration.
Well for its worth my experience interviewing for the data team there was terrible. A long coding exercise that when submitted resulted in a 7 day wait and a 2 liner email. Wouldn't recommend.

Its funny that there are so many blogging platforms our there but I (and some people I talked to) still feel that there is no one place that fits all their blogging needs.One key fact I believe is they are all too concentrated in making one platform and imposing it on all topics while the fact is that different bloggers have completely different need?If you guys can share your thought on what...
not sure why i got a down vote for this
oh ok.. then maybe credit card transactions if they dont buy it with cash instead
in machine learning we could use some supervised technique if we have training data instead of unsupervised. sorry for not being clear
thats why i used both causation and correlation. Correlation probably doesnt help here but until the model is built you can't really tell right?
to add, there is also training data available in form of people who have committed shootings or have any crime record.
its then just about feature selection that could prove some causation or correlation

Following the horrible incidents I was wondering if we can build a model with gun purchase data and some other data sources like social, etc ?
forgot Ask HN, can someone edit the title ?
I am pretty excited about cockroachDb. Its still in beta so not suggested for production use yet, but its being designed pretty carefully and by a great team.. check them out cockroachlabs.com

I felt this would be a great Q&A to identify some bad tools. To start with, really have been disliking hipchat a lot. Have to use it as a company stickiness to Altassian.

i agree. that was part of the inspiration behind
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11441183 . I am making progress on the product but primarily i think linkedin is biased towards serving recruiters better than users.
At the very least there should be a way to filter out good recruiters from the bad ones. I hate to say but more like a review system where you can rate your interaction with a recruiter.
did you do this as part of a coding interview challenge ?
well handled. The positive side of all this is cohsf got 20k donation. So it wasn't that bad after all.
