Ah this is so refreshing! I'm glad to see something completely different in the CS job ads sector. And Pentagon, Arlington, VA as a location? Oooff, every single one who grew up with X-Files would be excited about that! Salary is avera

Of course it's possible. It's also very political and dirty. Emmy Award would be a lot more relevant. heck, even Oscars would make a lot more sense here

yeah, but you can't be moving forever. When you stop and setup a base, you will need something more than a basic walkie-talkie, right?

> Otherwise the parts can only be sold as a kit and stuff Yeah. Disaster Radio does not look like a "kit" at all. Not for "an average user" at least. I'd be cautious building and operating hardware that can poten

Interesting, so how is it different from similar projects, e.g nycmesh.net, I mentioned above? Is it a promo for the custom hardware design initiative? hardware that's more modular, cheaper, focused than traditional brands?

was my first thought as well, but after watching the video it looks like it's something you can quickly setup AFTER the incident. To deal with the aftermath I guess?..

Disaster Radio. Does one need an FCC ham license to own/operate an endpoint? What are the frequencies? After some light poking on the website I don't see any info on that. Love the idea though. there is also this: https:/&#x

"parts of the main video that are ads" - well, i'm not sure what those are. Is it something that happens when they record a program from a TV and then upload that video to youtube without removing TV ads?

by rinchik 7y ago
Is this extension even relevant? I haven't ever seen those on youtube. uBlock + pihole do the job. Smart TV, on the other hand, manages to bypass my pihole (as if adds were burned into the vid), that's where I need to figure somet

There are a lot more comments than upvotes to the story, it's not gonna be a good one, isn't it?.. Sensitive!

"as knowledge approaches zero, money approaches infinity", also to rephrase: as knowledge approaches infinity, money approaches zero, - sounds like industry vs academia salaries?

Ah that's a well written and thoughtful response to my comment. Thank you for that! However I can’t say I agree with the trigger premise though, even if suggestion perceived as personal. Psychological problem suggestions, gentle nudges

It's not psychiatry, it's psychology. Not even remotely I'm making an attempt to diagnose a psychiatric pathology as in no way I'm qualified to do that. You are giving me more credit than I actually deserve.

I’m not sure I follow, I don’t think that if a white guy is present during your interview, he is automatically racist? What I got from your post is that you are having problems during interviews because you are not comfortable with white pe

I might be paranoid a bit - I'm skeptical about "you can pick your location" feature. And generally I have a very little trust in US-based VPN service providers. No matter the location, they'll keep logs forever for the

Also curious if FB outages affect global internet traffic? Are there any relative stats? (E.g. if google to go down, it would have an economic cost comparable to a natural disaster)

the scale FB operates on is staggering! Human factor, while still present, is very low. Wonder what could have happened there. They don't usually release postmortems, right? (since the general service they provide to the masses is &quo

Well, general suggestion is to build pricing model that is relative to what users (businesses?) can afford and not relative to the cost.
23.
by rinchik 7y ago
This looks great! The only note would be pricing? Margins look too low for the tech product? You need to sustainably acquire and maintain a very large user base in order to make it work, the larger the base the more expensive maintenance wi

Are they really being left out though? I understand the notion of ageism, and not at all saying it doesn't happen in software development, the point is, what if there are other factors also in play here? What if this "trend"
