This person is very considerate. They are already in a mindset where they will help others. They just dont see how herd immunity works.
I'm looking for interactive simulations that show how a certain vaccination rate 'tips the scales' and keeps the whole community safe. Something like this but a little more user friendly (eg using sliders and slick animations):
Its the interesting use cases I'm trying to find - the kind of easily understandable case studies that make for a good narrative. Hence the reason for my post.
I also think you are undercharging for a very useful product.
The utility of what you are offering is significant. If I'm a 'cost conscious' startup and I need CSV upload functionality then I either write the functionality myself (30+ hours of dev time + ongoing maintenance?) or I use your service.
If the product works as advertised, you could charge $19/month for a basic plan and that will always be better value than 30+ hrs of time a developer will have to put into the CSV problem with all its annoying edge cases.
My suggestion is to modify the free plan such that users can upload 10k+ rows per upload, but only 20-30 times per month. Then your 'cost conscious' startup with only 5 customers can test your solution, know that it works for non-trivial amounts of data, and happily fork out $19/month when they hit 20+ customers a month and become less 'cost conscious'.
fecak's reply is the best answer. In particular this quote:
>As I mentioned in another comment, you can also use a summary to define yourself. If you're applying for product owner jobs, you define yourself as a product owner with skills in web dev and ML. If you're applying for a web dev job, you define yourself as a web dev with skills in ML and product.
This is great advice. Make sure you still include all the roles in your CV to illustrate a consistent period of employment. Just highlight the aspects of each role that are most relevant to the position you are applying for. If a previous role is barely relevant, just summarize the experience in a couple of sentences.
The point is to make most of your CV relevant to the role. Dont make the employer hunt through your CV for relevant experience. Most people will make a snap judgement within a minute or two of scanning your CV. Make it easy for them.
I also think a summary is very important. Sum up your best points with some dot points at the top of your CV.
Are you aware of the players in Australia? There is Skymesh (owned by a UK company) but I'm not aware of other players in the Aus market.
Of all of the providers on your list - are any of them doing LEO constellations that are able to provide low latency in the way that Starlink can offer?
One might quibble about cost efficiencies and system capacity, but in the consumer market I cant see how you can argue with the physics advantage of being 50x closer to your customer!
I'm a big believer in Starlink and SpaceX generally.
It annoys me that I can not invest in these big bold innovations directly. Has anyone thought about how to invest indirectly on the belief that Starlink will succeed? For instance, are there satellite equipment suppliers or other upstream supplier who stand to profit with Starlink's success?
Likewise, who might fail based on Starlink's success? Should I be shorting Satellite based ISPs?
>Make multiple resumes, each with a focus on one thing. Use the resume that's best for the job. I recently saw somebody who must have had 20 different resumes to match the jobs they were applying for. It worked.
I'd like to second this methodology. It is a very effective approach. I've worked across multiple specialties within technology and I always tailor my CV to the job I am applying for. I highlight the most relevant experience and skills required and remove (or summarize) experience that is not relevant to the position.
Matching your CV to the job can be as simple as updating it to use the same keywords that you see on the job advert. It sounds trivial but many recruiters will filter job applications with a keyword search. If they dont see the exact keywords they are expecting, your CV will be thrown away.
My experience with LinkedIn is remarkably positive. I am contacted a few times a month for professional opportunities and two of my most recent jobs started from recruiters contacting me on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a chance to put forward your best self to the professional world. It is a serious force multiplier - do the work once to make your profile really shine and reap continual benefits.
Knowing who is looking at your profile (and hence who might be interviewing you for a new job) is incredibly useful information. Does this person have a technical or a business background? Do we know the same people from previous jobs? Do we have similar interests or did we go to the same school?
All of that information is very powerful when meeting someone for the first time and can give you that 5%-10% edge during an interview. It's the kind of information that allows you to make a great first impression.
I am not affiliated with LinkedIn but would recommend it to anyone struggling to find the right opportunity in the technology world.
Its not clear to me from the walk-through how they ensured they were only counting each bottle once? Is that something they automated or is it left as an exercise for the reader?
How would you go about automating the unique count when you are sampling the video 3 times a second?
Imagine the applications for the military and the intelligence services;
- Completely bypass any EM shielding / faraday cages designed to stop spies / bugs from transmitting information out of secure facilities
- Transmit information out of underground facilities or caves deep in Afghanistan without worrying about RF attenuation. Indeed, communicate anywhere in the world (or under the sea) without worrying about RF attenuation.
Bypassing the limitations of sending information by RF would be hugely advantageous for the military and intelligence services. The resources of the military industrial complex are staggering. What is the state of the art in unclassified technology regarding generating these waves and modulating them? What would be required to make such transmitters/receivers practical? A breakthrough in materials / fabrication technology? It sounds like the theory is solid, and it's a now an applied science problem?
Well done for taking the effort to create this site, it contains some impressive stylistic elements. Keep building things!
I prefer reading the original HN site because it loads fast, allows you to quickly scan topic titles, doesnt waste space in the layout, and has no animated elements that detract from the content.
