Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (February 2017) - <AUTHOR> Please lead with either SEEKING WORK or SEEKING FREELANCER, your location, and whether remote work is a possibility. <comment><USER13> SEEKING WORK - Boulder, CO. Remote welcome.

I'm a former googler who has recently left my senior software engineer role there after five years to seek a less traditional work/life balance.

My primary focus these days is on machine learning; mostly applied, but I've also started doing original research and hope to continue this. I have experience creating and training novel deep vision networks, and in the process have made several contributions to Tensorflow.

I also have extensive experience in both the front- and back-end of extremely large and complicated projects; for example, I've authored large correctness- critical subsystems that handle millions of user-facing requests per second and troubleshot extremely subtle production emergencies.

I'm open to both smaller gigs, such as one-off consulting on machine learning research, performing code reviews, or prototyping new systems; or an ongoing relationship, including part-time employment for the right situation.

I'm language- and tooling-agnostic, but have the most experience with Python, C++, Java, and Javascript. I'm an expert at the nuts & bolts of Tensorflow, and am coming up to speed with non-Google infrastructure technologies like Kubernetes and Docker.

I have a strong preference towards work that both does good in the world and is interesting and novel.

If you'd like to know more, please drop me an email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks!

I'm a seasoned DevOps with 15 years experience hosting, tuning and sometimes building applications.

I work closely with developers throughout the application lifecycle to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, CI, deploy systems, monitoring, config management, security audits, dev projects of my own - <USER2> name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

\+ AWS/Kubernetes/Docker deployment to support a large, distributed (15 microservices + persistence layer) application. Worked closely with developers to ensure services were the best possible fit for containerized hosting, resulting in a very scalable application that makes great use of k8s' scaling & resiliency features. Multiple stacks namespaced onto same k8s cluster for efficiency; containerization of all services; automated deploys from CI. Persistence layer comprising Cassandra & Kafka with service discovery through Zookeeper. Prometheus & Grafana for monitoring.

\+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice- based web app taking millions of pounds per month in payments.

\+ Chef-managed deployment of large microservice stack across varied configurations on cloud and physical servers

\+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Didn't get rich, still posting on the HN freelancer thread.

\+ Jenkins + docker-compose platform for efficient builds of microservice- based projects

\+ Lots, lots more.

</comment><comment><USER18> Nonprofit/Church Technology: Freelance Sales (Remote / Anywhere)

Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance nonprofit impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.

We're in need of freelance sales help in 2017! We recently launched a product (Donation Spring - [https://www.donationspring.com](https://www.donationspring.com)) and plan to aggressively promote it after the new year. Additionally, we continue to pitch our overall consulting and development services.

What I'm looking for:

\- The scope is primarily to find prospects, have initial conversations, identify needs, and provide them as a pre-qualified prospect. \- Someone with sales/marketing chops. A sales or account exec history is helpful, but not a requirement -- we'll consider anyone with relevant backgrounds and personality/passion alignment. \- Experience/familiarity with the nonprofit and church industry. \- Major bonus points to bringing an existing network of nonprofit/church prospects. \- Located anywhere in the US. The more geographically diverse our team can be, the better. \- Freelance contract, part-time, at your own pace. Pay is a generous commission based on lifetime account revenue (negotiable). \- Fun, easy going, and service-centered heart. Our primary focus is _serving_ both nonprofit/church missions as well as helping their staff in any tech-centric way we can.

If that describes you, I'd love to chat!

Location: St. Louis, MO

I help startups get that surreal feeling when people actually start paying them for the first time. Especially good fit for startups that have some kind of funding, need to start addressing the problem they're solving with a product, but aren't at a place where they've hired a dev team yet. I'll bridge the gap and ensure a smooth transition.

Although that's been my main focus the past 3 years, lately I've been getting hired to build internal software for existing small/medium companies. This has been a surprising amount of fun because measuring the ROI is so much easier than with startups.

Remote: Preferred & Only Way (though if its a bigger project, we should definitely meet in person at _least_ once!)

I'm an experienced full-stack web developer and designer with experience making the complex comprehensible and tractable, and though I love creating large sophisticated systems and also wrangling half-baked cool technologies into a reliable product or service, I don't turn up my nose at the tried and true.

I get things done, and use the most appropriate approach, which may mean building and deploying a simple CRUD app as an MVP or using Google Sheets as a backend for a quick-and-dirty internal workflow.

I am a fullstack developer with broad 10+ year experience. I am self-taught, programming since I was 12, selling my first website at 14, with a CS degree from Yale. As a result, I have a broad exposure to many practical business problems, but also understand CS fundamentals and the low level details of computing systems.

In college my side project proxy51.com sold proxies to 400+ customers, booked $200k revenue in 2013, and ran on a fleet of 20 servers behind 10,000 IP addresses. It started having problems, and because I was busy with school, I could not address them, so I chose to shut down the company.

After college, most recently I co-founded a social app startup that raised $500k from multiple recognizable investors. We grew it to 600k users our first year (as the result of a ridiculous growth hack), but eventually for various reasons we decided to shut it down and return investor money.

Now, I am traveling the world while contracting and experimenting with new product ideas.

The Long Run - <AUTHOR> http://bit-player.org/2015/the-long-run <comment><USER2> "On a two-dimensional surface, GPS position errors introduce a systematic bias, tending to exaggerate the length of a trajectory." It's not that simple as it really depends on the sampling rate. For example, if the sampling delta is the same time as the lap time, the GPS will think that it is not moving. And it's not just theoretical: you can see from the map that the GPS thinks he's always cutting corners.

<comment><USER3> You're probably right, it's probably a low sampling rate. (Either dude was going fast or the app is really casual about taking measurements...!)

Also a possibility: the phone is picking up a gps 'echo' reflecting off a wall. We like to think of GPS as this magical, perfectly accurate reporting of our cartesian coordinates, but in practice it's a lot messier. There are places that _consistently_ report an inaccurate location, because some non- direct path length transmits more strongly than the direct line to the sky (which may be occluded by trees, for example).

The wavelength used for GPS is pretty well absorbed by water, so you have situations like this more often than you might think.

</comment></comment><comment><USER3> I think this is a classic case of a leaky abstraction. The developer probably assumes some relatively benign behavior from GPS, and treats it as a 'true' record of the user's position in cartesian space. Throw some grade school geometry at it and you've got an app!

Doing it right in practice requires understanding the nature of the measurement itself, Bayesian notions of uncertainty (does iOS even report positional uncertainty from GPS?), and probably some sensor fusion -- using accelerometers or even gyros with different noise signatures to arrive at a better answer. In other words, a lot more sophistication than just reading x,y values from a function lookup. (I don't mean to cast aspersions on the actual developer mentioned in the article; there are valid reasons not to do these things, battery life being one obvious one.)

A good friend works at a fitness tracker company, and he reports that the raw data they have to deal with is _insanely_ ugly. There's a fair amount of algorithmic house cleaning that goes along with good distance/speed estimates.</comment>

Ask HN: How does firechat accomplish mesh networking? - <AUTHOR> I was very impressed when I tried it out on the Android. I can't help but wonder, how did they manage to solve the problem of peer to peer mesh networking between iOS and Android devices? They are mum on the whole thing.
Alljoyn SDK seems to offer same feature but not sure how different they are compared to Open Garden's technology.
I'm just throwing this out to see if it's possible to pull off what firechat is doing in terms of their cross platform p2p peer meshing capabilities. <comment><USER2> At first I thought along with others that they're probably relying on some combination of Bluetooth and Wifi. When I launch FireChat though, it tells me that to use the chatroom that does not require Internet, it only works "up to 210 feet." Well, that's interesting because Bluetooth LE should work up to over 300 feet. If we're talking about two users on the same WiFi, they should be able to chat for as far a distance as that WiFi network, which again should be greater than 210 feet, depending on the system. So, if they're using a combo of WiFi and Bluetooth, how do they end up with a shorter distance?

<comment><AUTHOR> I would like to know this as well. I am very curious to know how they are able to do this with both bluetooth and wifi

</comment></comment><comment><USER3> I'm excited to know this exists. I've been watching the Serval Mesh project for awhile. [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.servalproj...](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.servalproject)

But it requires rooting your phone. This is very cool, and I hope it becomes ubiquitous, as a method of circumventing the grid, either because it's compromised or it's down, or it's just not present to begin with, is huge.

</comment><comment><USER4> It sounds pretty straightforward for WiFi: you have two devices connected to WiFi on the same network. These two devices can broadcast to let each other know that there is someone else there. After that, the IPs are known and devices can talk to each other. There is nothing platform specific in this model: standard UDP and TCP, nothing more than that.

I am not familiar with BT protocol so I can't comment on how it is done with BT.

</comment><comment><USER5> I've researched this area and there are a few issues to be aware of. First of all, it's important to note that Android does not have the same built in "off the grid" networking that iOS recently introduced. So, as OpenGarden stated on Techcrunch, Android clients rely on some combination of Bluetooth and wifi.

Second of all, a common issue with implementing peer-to-peer networks is NAT traversal. Because the internet has more devices than it does IPv4 space, it's segmented into siloed networks (NATs), each with it's own IP space. So connecting two peers is nontrivial, because the public address of one might mean something totally different to another. To accomplish peer to peer tunneling, you need some kind of intermediary to coordinate the addressing. Because of that, many p2p applications require changes to router/firewall rules to solve the addressing problem. Obviously this is suboptimal, especially on mobile. But recently, Google has made a lot of strides in this area with it's technology underlying Google Talk and WebRTC. This tech, encapsulated in a library called libjingle, relies on the STUN and TURN protocols for intermediary servers to coordinate addressing between peers. For 92% of devices on the Internet, the STUN servers are able to coordinate addressing between peers without having to relay any of the data. For the other 8%, TURN servers sit in between the peers and relay data. This is the technology that enables Google Talk and WebRTC to be so scalable. When 92% of bandwidth can be offloaded to peers, there's much less of a need for central servers and bandwidth.

Now consider that any p2p IP tunnel can be opened between two devices connected to the Internet, using this STUN/TURN protocol via something like libjingle. (See socialvpn.org for an example.) This tunnel can be a generic transport, or it can act as a UDP proxy (I believe this is how Hola! Chrome extension works).

You now have the ability to create a p2p overlay network, with direct tunnels between peers, on top of any Internet or generic network of devices. The key component is libjingle along with STUN and TURN servers, which enable direct p2p addressing.

My hypothesis is that OpenGarden used some combination of all these technologies. I think the reason they're quiet about how they accomplished it is because, 1) Android probably doesn't work as well as iOS in sparse offline areas (not enough Bluetooth parity), and 2) they are relying to some extent on central servers, for the TURN/STUN protocol.

That's just my hypothesis, and I've never actually implemented anything with this technology, but rather have only read about it. If someone wants to correct me on any number of the points I'm sure I got wrong, please do.</comment>

So using a Mac makes it less likely that you will be distracted by the latest games as would happen with a Windows computer.<p>Even without considering games, there's generally less software available for the Mac in most areas, which again saves you time from trying out all sorts of competing products. <comment><USER2> If you don't have enough self control to stay focused on the task at hand, it doesn't seem like you're in the right business...not that I disagree about using a Mac, I just think your logic might be a little off...

<comment><USER3> Very much agreed - regardless of what OS you are using, if you do not have the discipline to get your work done, there are bigger issues that you have to deal with. I have been using Windows/Visual Studio for most of my professional career and have not had an issue with being 'distracted' by so many games & apps etc.

Yes, I do play an occasional game when I have the time (I'm a sucker for RTS games ;) As a personal preference I would rather play a game for 1-2 hours rather than watch TV

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> Yeah. But i gave up playing computer games. I was a big Civ II fan.No work done.Ever.

<comment><USER5> Civ II took over my life at one point. However now, I rarely play games, except for the occasional game of battleground in WOW with my house mates.

<comment><AUTHOR> Windows is fine if you are not the sort of person who is easily distracted by the latest games and other software.

Depeneds on the area (graphics, video, audio editing being exceptions) but I tend to agree with that. The thing I found out is that even though there's less choice, the quality of apps that are available for Max are MUCH HIGHER than apps available for Linux & Windows! So it's a definite win-win!

</comment><comment><USER8> I'm surprised this discussion is even happening. This is 2007, and Macs can run Boot Camp, VMWare, Parallels, CrossOver, VirtualBox, CrossOver and Cider.
