Here's a question: how do we know you haven't already been co-opted by your military establishment?

#22I'm trying to think of "famously aggressive" and "little", and all I can come up with is one of them Koreas.
My first thought was "US" and "Halliburton", but then I suppose we fill in the blanks with the protagonists we know best. The one thing that has me stumped is the python angle...

#23You should hire me instead of him. I've been using python to do statistics and machine learning in a bioinformatics context for the last 15 years. Plus, if you don't, I'll kill this puppy. Isn't he cute? You wouldn't want to be responsible for his death, would you?
Your criticism is right, this is a sensationalist appeal. Do you think I shouldn't have made it?

#25I've never worked in defense. Can someone explain what "these kind of people" means?
I don't know exactly what the poster meant by "these people", but my own experience having worked at a defense contractor was that the facility I was at (which designed and made missles), all of the managers were upset that there wasn't presently a war going on. I suspect that the past few years have been better for morale there.
Every day they would have meetings going over global hot spots and assess whether there was any chance that the U.S. would have to intervene, and therefore purchase more armaments from them. This was not an objective, collective discussion, but a pleading.
I found that at least at that particular company, by and large, "these kind of people" were shitbags.
I will say, that contrasted with work I've done with other defense contractors in the ensuing years, they are not all uniform.

#26if someone gives you a better offer, can i have your defense job? sounds pretty cushy to me
It is pretty cushy, and you don't need to wait for me to abandon it. But you must be a native of my country and a reasonably able Python programmer. If you are, send me a mail.

#27I've never worked in defense. Can someone explain what "these kind of people" means?
These kind of projects would be military equipment (weapons, trucks, armors) efficiency, troops efficiency (either training techniques or planning algorithms/strategies) and other retarded stuff like that.
People?

#28I wouldn't want to hire someone who was willing to compromise his ethics simply for a "very good salary and benefits."

#29How's Israel this time of year?
Hmm, I was thinking about 'aggressive little country' too but the penny didn't drop until this post.

Israel was my first thought too.
