Thats a great, but naive mindset. The average person eats what they can get at the lowest cost. The market dictates consumption for the majority of the population. The populous won't stop consuming unsustainable, anti-biotic ridden, po

It also sounds like these are the questions you need to have answered before you start your next startup job as well. ;) Looks like you have been joining and hoping the founders knew what they were doing, only to be disappointed. Did any of

For me, the things that bother me are: The company: Taking great engineers that could be working on something to better our world, but employing them to work on what is essentially a huge waste of time. The product: It's essentially a

I think this might also be due to the fact that the compute for neural nets and the complexity of the networks are still in their infancy. The neural nets in these cases are all simple classifiers, working on a fixed image resolution with f

I'd say it's still too early? I mean, Tesla's factory is only a fraction built and at a fraction of capacity.

Damn, the jokes don't end. Co-worker was wondering why the site was using a whole core to run, and checked developer mode for crypto mining.

Yeah, I want to do this as well. When Tesla announced the gigafactory in Reno, I really wanted to pool together with others to buy an apartment complex or something.

Hah! I was the same way. Some kid in 7th grade got glasses, and everyone at the table was trying them on. I put them on and realized "Holy shit! I can see whats on the board!" I used to squint or just write what I was hearing, or

I had to look up OODA, because I had never heard of it. But I have to say that this has been a personal strategy of mine as long as I can remember. And I think it has been mostly fueled by a constant desire to learn. Just sheer curiosity. I

This is really interesting, but points out a key importance in training neural nets, which is to design your dataset and training to maximize generalization. For example, in the case of training a neural network for something that is highly

You can apply directly through company websites, or online job postings. I would argue that recruiters short cut the process, by finding candidates that match with required qualifications or skills. I think you have a higher likelihood of g

I don't see why there would ever be a lack of progress... maybe at some point progress won't be at all relevant to our current society, but there will always be something new. And at that point, where we have solved all problems,

It could also be that the younger engineers are engineers by training, while the more senior members of the team are Phd's in the field. What I'm trying to say is that Phd's come from an academic research background, while en

This is good advice. It will pay off in the long run. I've learned this throughout my career. It's hard to find people who are on your wavelength, so when you work with them, keep in touch, you may be able to help collaborate agai

I feel like this is something you need to avoid at all costs. It's what keeps you down, subservient, and monotonous. You need to always be asking why, and proposing better solutions if what they are proposing doesn't address their

What I'd like to know is which types of diets either inhibit/promote the growth of these bad bacteria. The types of bacteria in your gut being linked to parents or young age, might just be a symptom of learning your diet from your

Maybe they feel like you will be saving money and time not having to commute? I don't know. You make valid points and I agree, they shouldn't use remote as leverage when they are already saving a lot on the position being remote.

"It's almost an Italian restaurant" made me crack up. I had the same problem when I started working at a startup a few years back. The code base was a spaghetti factory, but that was the least of the problems. No one was prio

We used mattermost in the past... maybe it's different now, but I remember the UI being frustratingly odd. Definitely didn't have the pleasant usability of slack.

"You don't know what you don't know", so for me code-reviews were always extremely beneficial. Not only getting my code reviewed, but reviewing other's code. By getting my code reviewed, I'd be made aware of in

You are only 18. You have two options, go finish school and get a degree so you have proof of being able to finish things people ask you to do (thats what employers want), or think of a real world project. One that solves a problem, or is m

So I've been to a few interviews recently to feel out the market, and I thought they went well, but it turns out they didn't. I was wondering why and realized that as a senior engineer I seem to be confident in my abilities, and d

A vitamix blender is the best thing I've ever purchased. I don't really care for eating salads, but I try to eat healthy. So I will blend combinations of the following: greens, apple, celery, cucumber, oranges, lemon, ginger, froz

I was actually working on a Deep Learning approach to this, using only a webcam. As a dev, I hate lifting my hands from the keyboard to use the mouse. Started working at a different startup, so it's a bit on the back burner right now :

A verbal "go ahead" won't help you. If they wanted to litigate in the future, they would either way. Bringing it up to your employer would only impact your career prospects and not benefit you in any way. They would just trea
