Hakka Labs (AI Conference) | Dir of Marketing | REMOTE | Full time | http://dataengconf.com
Hakka Labs is looking for a Director of Marketing to be responsible for all marketing efforts across the Hakka Labs network internationally. Our flagship event is DataEngConf, a deeply technical 2-day, multi-track conference at the intersection of data engineering, data science and AI.
You must have a background in marketing of a technical product geared towards software engineers. Help us grow our existing conferences globally - we're launched in SF and NYC, and adding Barcelona/Europe and China next.
Yes, it's true - we have a community built around our product, and oftentimes communities want to help/support each other. So I let our users know that we were on HN since it's an opportunity for them to make the platform stronger by adding many more awesome engineers to get matched to.
Asking people to upvote posts is called a voting ring and is against the rules on HN. We penalize or ban accounts (and sites) that do this, so please don't.
Believe me, you don't need to read his book to simply participate in commerce. Without a doubt, this book was one of the most moving memoirs I've ever read. Very highly recommended. The bonus is that he's an incredible writer.
Hi Andrew, I'm the founder of Hakka Labs. We had permission from the SFRails meetup orgs to record/post the talk, but I honestly apologize if this was unknown to you. We don't consider this 'our' content in any way, and we're happy to make it freely available for the benefit of engineers everywhere.
Thanks so much for replying. My concern wasn't about permission -- I'm far from protective of my talk; hey, more distribution is great! -- so much as it was the appearance of the site. (And even the video -- you overlaid your logo on every frame of the video.)
To me, http://www.hakkalabs.co/ looks a great deal like a blog. When I see a blog -- particularly with a name and photo of the author on an article -- I naturally assume that author either created that content specifically for that blog, or authorized/contributed that content specifically to that blog. If that's not the case, I think the blog needs to make it very clear that they are republishing content taken from elsewhere, without the author's knowledge. There's nothing wrong with that (assuming you have permission); it's just about making it clear that that is what's actually happening.
(Underneath, it's about the perception that I am somehow "contributing to" or "endorsing" Hakka Labs by posting content I created there. I'm not saying anything bad about Hakka Labs at all -- I simply don't know enough to judge either way! -- but IMHO it's not cool to create that perception without the author's knowledge. It'd be like a startup GitHub clone suddenly hosting my open-source code under an 'ageweke' account with my name and photo: while they absolutely have every right to do that according to the licenses involved, it gives the perception that I'm a user of their site and uploaded my code there...when, in fact, I've never heard of them before.)
Anyway, don't want to derail this technical discussion any further; feel free to reach out to me directly over email if you want to chat about anything else. You certainly have my email address. ;)
