Ask HN: Advice for finding an entry-level remote job?
Hi HN, I realize this isn't super on topic but I also feel like this is the best place I know of to ask for this advice, so here goes. I need some entry-level, remote-based work. What should I do? Help desk work seems the most promising / practical, but I haven't been able to find anything yet. The remote jobs I see posted are nearly all for higher-end positions. I live in the poorest region of the United States, but I do the best with what I have. I’ve worked on my family’s farm and done a couple stints at retail beauty supply shops that friends own. I helped open two of those shops. That’s the extent of my non-existent resume. Given a chance to interview, I believe I would do ok. Maybe even exceed expectations for the sort of job I'm looking for. I need to work remotely for family reasons. I have a special-needs sister and I look after my youngest brother. They are

Launch HN: MindsDB (YC W20) – Machine Learning Inside Your Database
Hi HN, Adam and Jorge here, and today we’re very excited to share MindsDB with you ( http://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb ). MindsDB AutoML Server is an open-source platform designed to accelerate machine learning workflows for people with data inside databases by introducing virtual AI tables. We allow you to create and consume machine learning models as regular database tables. Jorge and I have been friends for many years, having first met at college. We have previously founded and failed at another startup, but we stuck together as a team to start MindsDB. Initially a passion project, MindsDB began as an idea to help those who could not afford to hire a team of data scientists, which at the time was (and still is) very expensive. It has since grown into a thriving open-source community with contributors and users all over the globe. With the plethora of data available

Launch HN: Gallery (YC S21) – On-demand environments on any cloud provider
Hi HN! We’re Jagath and Vignesh, co-founders of Gallery (usegallery.com). We provision on-demand pre-prod environments on your own cloud account so you can do manual QA, share feature previews with team members/clients, and parallelize automated testing & CI processes, all without bottlenecking on your staging environment. Engineers typically have a fixed number of cloud environments, including production, staging, and maybe some additional pre-production environments. They use these to preview features, share work with other team members, do manual QA/automated testing, and more. As the number of engineers grows, having a fixed number of cloud environments becomes a bottleneck. Teams end up queuing for access to staging and so on. Creating additional environments and keeping them in sync, though, is a major headache, especially when the environments are reasonably complex.

Most employee perks (e.g. health insurance, flexible benefits, snacks in the office), which are so familiar to HN, are usually reserved to white-collar workers in Latam.

Nearly three-quarters of Black people want to watch more content that portrays their lives and experiences (Target Market News, 2018), but they can't find enough of it, and when they do find it, it usually hasn't gotten the budget or development resources that more mainstream content does. When I grew up in the 90s, it seemed like black people had a relatively high number of TV shows to choose from like "Martin", "Living Single," and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". It felt good.

Hi HN, we are Jay and Frank and we are working on SST ( https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack ). SST is a framework for building serverless apps on AWS. It includes a local development environment that allows you to make changes and test your Lambda functions live. It does this by opening a WebSocket connection to your AWS account, streaming any Lambda function invocations, running them locally, and passing back the results. This allows you to work on your functions, without mocking any AWS resources, or having to redeploy them every time, to test your changes. Here's a 30s video of it in action — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnTSTm5n11g For some background, serverless is an execution model where you send a cloud provider (AWS in this case), a piece of code (called a Lambda function).

Launch HN: Finmark (YC S20) – Financial planning software for startups
Hi HN! I’m Rami, cofounder of Finmark ( https://finmark.com/ ). We make it simple for companies to manage their runway, hiring, and cash. Three years ago a bad financial model almost killed my last company. A miscalculation in our behemoth of a financial model led us to overestimate the amount of cash we had coming in, and in turn, to overspend. When we finally discovered the error after 5 months, we were forced to shift from aggressive hiring to aggressive cost cutting and had to lay off employees. We were able to course-correct and sold the company successfully in 2019, but I kept coming back to how difficult and time-consuming financial modeling is for founders. So after taking some time off to recharge post acquisition, I pulled my old team together to start Finmark.

This was definitely the case for us in our last startup, and even when we sold that business to a place with a well resourced research team we were largely on our own. Without any real tools or processes to do customer research we ended up muddling through, but it was always ad hoc - and often skipped so we could just get a release out the door. Bad news.

I did a lot of profiling at my last job and I always thought that profiling tools provide a ton of value in terms of reducing latency and cutting cloud costs, but are very hard to use. With most of them you have to profile your programs locally on your machine.

Orbital debris poses a significant risk to mankind's future in space. There are currently over 250k objects in space that would destroy a satellite if a collision were to occur. Large uncontrolled objects like depleted rocket upper stages and dead satellites pose the greatest risk because of the potential to break upon impact with small debris into thousands of smaller pieces. There is currently no system in operation that can deorbit large amounts of space debris.
