I've found in the past that companies are pretty willing to work with me and let me split interview day between two days. It's worth asking.

But just to undermine that point, I've also learned that it's quite complex to try to juggle multiple job interview processes with a day job, especially if you want to be able to make a choice with multiple offers on the table. It ended up working out for me this past time, but next time I'm ready to make a move (hopefully not for years!), I may just resign first, so I'd be able to devote my full attention to making the right move.
A plausible explanation is that he was part of a 'Satoshi partnership' with Kleiman and, with Kleiman's passing, began trying to retroactively make himself look like a bigger part of it.

And do what? Abide?

One thing that people want to test is whether this would disincentivize work. People choosing to move to where there may well be no jobs sounds as if it is disincentivizing work.
I lived in Chicago (proper, not the burbs) for years. The existing city cable provider, RCN, was one of the best I ever had the pleasure of using. It's definitely no Comcast like the suburbanites are stuck with.

The city is too old.. they don't even have all the schematics for all the gas lines and other pipes and wires laid over the centuries. Digging in Chicago is very dangerous and restricted. It will be interesting to learn how they deploy this if it happens.

As for likelihood this goes through, I can't see this ever happening. It's very corrupt, city employees don't want to work too hard, it's running on borrowed time.

Oh, I'm in Austin now. :) Can't say I care to return to the Windy City but this would certainly help pull in migrants other than native midwesterners.
You do that every time you breathe anyway, unless you make a habit of breathing argon or the like.
Most professionals do work for free, in small amounts relative to the amount of money at stake. If you clearly only need 2 hours of lawyer time, you pay for both of those hours. But if you're talking about maybe hiring a lawyer to do something complicated for you, the lawyer will give you an hour or two of time for free, in which they will use their professional expertise (i.e. do work) to assess whether or not your case will benefit from their services. But maybe you think law is a situation where the client has the power in the relationship? No worries, accountants do that too, as do architects and building contractors, as do SaaS companies, as do.... basically, as do members of every industry where the customer isn't obviously a penny pincher (i.e. retail sales does not do this).

You made this exact case yourself in a related comment, in which you called meeting people business development. I agree there's a non-zero distinction here between work-hire-test and consulting-about-consulting, but claiming that the issue is that "you shouldn't work for free" is misleading.

Also, you suggest that if they pay, that costs them instead of costing you. It already costs them more to interview than it costs you. But sure, if making sure they don't get any benefit out of their relationship with you unless you get benefit too, tell them you'll only do a work-hire if they make a donation to the EFF in the value of your hourly rate.
Yeah well, that depends on whether you're used to working on a mature project with lots of structure and process (and usually, customers) or something newer where you're more in POC mode.

I'd favor someone who could do either but I guess if you have to pick one or the other I'd take "hack and ship" over "let's make it perfect", especially considering the second probably has lots of great options at BigCo.

Ugh, this complaint again:

> Similar to the goofy way you must insert Apple's Pencil into the bottom of the iPad Pro, Apple asks Magic Mouse 2 users to flip the device on its back like a beetle with its legs in the air and plug in the cable. You cannot use the mouse this way, naturally, and it seems a strange choice considering wired mice have had cables running from their front ends for decades.

I'm sure that this is deliberate. Apple does not want you to use the mouse while it is charging. If the charging cable attached to the top like a wired mouse, then Apple would have to make the cable and port more rugged and do lots of testing to make sure that constant plugged-in use didn't break it. You only have to charge it a few minutes a day, or overnight once a month, so it's not a real inconvenience.

If you want to use the mouse while plugged in, just go buy a wired mouse.

Chicago has a habit of not even negotiating good terms, while turning over public infrastructure to private enterprise in 99 year leases. A short term cash fix comes at the expense of bleeding citizens for the next 5 generations or so. The Skyway. The parking garages. The parking meters.

Traffic law enforcement going to faulty and corrupt traffic camera companies, based/excused upon arguments that are suspect at best. E.g. red light cameras, particularly but not only with the yellow cycles reduce to or below the legal minimum time apparently solely to increase the number of infractions, leading to increased occurrences of accidents and particularly of more dangerous accidents.

And that's not even getting into the decades of "The Machine" that politicized and monetized anything with a pocket to shake a nickle out of.

Chicago has upsides. Per my first line (in my other comment here, I guess), some even find the politics to be so: As long as you enjoy it as a contact sport.
Not easier to spend than stock, bonds, derivatives, and so on that most wealth is stored in? Last I heard, there was more liquidity and less auditing for Bitcoin spending in general. An expert on Bitcoin might know that particular block moving would be a high risk operation. Thugs reading about his identity, worth, and use of Bitcoin in criminal dealings might think differently. They might decide to go get his money.

That's the risk. Not sure of its likelihood in terms of a percentage or even verbal description. It's near zero while he's anonymous, though.

That's not actually true. There have been several documented examples now of people injecting stuff into HTTP requests when they pass by (ISPs injecting notifications, ads, people running proxies injecting malicious javascript, etc).
Alright, the math makes sense for you. In my case, it would have been $10 cheaper than Comcast, but 1/5 of the speed, and I'd be locked into a year of service.

Please pay attention to the language in my comment. I'm fine with labeling. I think that is the primary way people are informed. Capitalism requires an informed public.

What I don't want is expanded government. I am honestly tired of adults being treated as children. "Do this. Don't do that. Can you read the sign?" in the words of the song. Teach, inform, foster communication, but don't control a private life.
> I'd also like to point out that your comment is an example of what I consider to be the type of poorly thought out middle brow discourse that perfectly characterizes the worst form of discussion on the internet.

Ok, let us look at what you wrote:

> I have some questions about this "sting" that were unanswered in the article.

You don't ever ask any questions, and thus this is a rhetorical device to cast doubt on the article.

> It would be one thing if the academic were paid to have a certain opinion, its is another thing entirely to pay an academic to falsify research supporting a viewpoint they already hold. It reads as if the academics were paid to support a thesis with evidence. Once you are at a high enough academic level you should be able to write a paper arguing for and supporting a thesis whether or not you believe in that thesis on a personal level. It's important to sustain debate on all sides of an issue regardless of whether or not all of those sides are politically popular.

Straw man argument. Nobody is arguing against commercial funding for research or papers. The issue is deliberately concealing funding/independence and deliberately evading peer review.

> The great thing about publishing is that it gives other educated people a chance to rebut and question the argument.

Not when you deliberately avoid peer review.

> I also believe funding sources should be kept secret in some cases so that the paper or research can be judged on its own merit rather than judged based on the motivations of the entity funded it.

Ok, what are those cases? Oh right, you were just making a rhetorical point and don't have any actual examples.

It gets worse: Google's newest, most Material apps, like Inbox, have no tablet layouts. They are "blown up phone apps." Especially ironic (in an Alanis way, maybe?) because GMail is an exemplary app that shifts layout decisions based on screen size and orientation.

That said, Drive Docs, Slides, and Sheets are very nice on larger tablets. Still, Google needs to raise awareness that Android's APIs have very nice support for larger screens.

> My initial response to you came from you picking an extremely controversial field of research rather than examples of widely-held or supported beliefs countered with newer, better evidence that wouldn't be dismissed immediately by readers as psi topic would.

And why is Psi so immediately dismissed? It's not because people have knockdown arguments about how sealed radioactive number generators can be easily biased to produce long runs or anything like that. It's dismissed based on priors: psi is just too absurd, contradicts just too much successful physics. And I agree and don't believe in psi in the slightest. Extraordinary claims really do require extraordinary evidence.
In my option it's quite close to perfect. I do dev work using Go, JS, and markup so speed is not a problem at all--if you're doing heavy compiler work YMMV. The fanless thing is incredibly important to me. I find the new keyboard harder to use than that of the Macbook Air, but I'm sure I'll adapt.

I'm not creating music on it so the lack of a USB 2 connector doesn't matter to me. I have to admit just the USB C and the headphone cord are plenty.

Its slimness and lightness are also important to me. My inviolate rule is that the more portable a laptop is, the more I'm likely to carry it with me to do extra work.

Wall wart & magsafe issues are not deal killers for me.

I'd recommend it if it fits your requirements exactly, as it did mine. Otherwise, I'd go with a high spec MacBook Air, because they're faster and, with the extra USB port, more practical for many uses.
Their income source is the advertising industry that works via surveillance of their users. I mean, their money comes mainly from search traffic but it's something to factor in when considering them being a private browser.
Yeah, I don't know why they're taking that as proof either. What's more likely, Satoshi having two near-identical addresses on the same host, or someone registering a near identical address to impersonate him?
You don't want to be around any diacetyl at all. If the lab can detect it, it's too much. It's very, very nasty business.
By that standard, there's no possible experiment that would give any valuable information at all, short of doing a full implementation. And even a full implementation of a basic income wouldn't actually give any information on the results of a "true" basic income, because no government can guarantee the delivery of a basic income indefinitely.

The answer to "what are the effects of a basic income" isn't a single scalar value, but more of a function on the size, population, and duration of the income. What you seem to be asserting is that there's a discontinuity or inflection point in that response function, and this experiment probes the wrong side of it. Which is fair enough. But the results with t=2 gives us some information about t=3, just as the results with t=30 give us at least some idea of the results of the minimum income taken for an infinite duration. It's irresponsible and politically impossible to jump in at t=30, though, so we take baby steps, as they say, and gradually build our base of knowledge.

I suppose your argument might be "well, we need to do a test of t=5 to provide any additional information over previous limited rollouts of a basic income," but I'd argue that previous experiments have been pretty different and existed in a different social context. Other interested economics and policymakers certainly agree, hence Finland running this experiment.

I agree, however vaping has been "presented" as a safer alternative to smoking. So if some companies are adding chemicals that are known to be this bad, that needs to be presented, and the BS text on the packaging does nothing. I'm a smoker, i know its bad, but seeing a text that says that "smoking is bad, m'Ok" will not stop me from smoking. I will make that decision when I choose too.

I would prefer it if the companies where regulated on what chemicals they could add to the liquid.

Wow. Really? Why is stability a concern? Much of engineering is making solid decisions and fucking sticking with them rather than changing to the latest toolset because that's what hacker news says is the best today. Are you trying to build a product and company, or a blog post?
We[0] make SAAS for developers, so we expect a lot more of our customers to be in the bay. There’s also a deeper market for technical talent and VC capital. LA has a lot of lifestyle perks (beach, forests, desert, great weather, more daylight in the summer, more sqft of office/apartments per $). I imagine that the bars and restaurants in LA are better (but I don’t know).

So mostly, The Bay is where to ecosystem is.

How D.E. Shaw's Wall Street Geeks Overtook the Paypal Mafia
It's obvious: you sell them the tools that enhance their privacy with solid reviews and advertisements in right places. If people don't buy, they either didn't care enough about privacy or were poor. There's security companies selling hardened phone OS's, browsers, desktops... you name it. Most individuals or businesses, even with the money, just don't buy them or even research them much.
Overextending that analogy:

But the issue is the author effectively saying "this project's source code undergoes independent security audits prior to each release" and then being paid to include an un-audited blob.

> But if you're talking about maybe hiring a lawyer to do something complicated for you, the lawyer will give you an hour or two of time for free, in which they will use their professional expertise (i.e. do work) to assess whether or not your case will benefit from their services.

Of course. That's the sit-down-and-chat "interview". But lawyers don't draft up a contract for you to demonstrate that they can write up a contract to your satisfaction. If you want a lawyer's expertise applied concretely to something of your direction, you pay. And while lawyers do have bar exams, they don't have a very detailed demonstration of their work up on Lawhub for your perusal!

> I agree there's a non-zero distinction here between work-hire-test and consulting-about-consulting, but claiming that the issue is that "you shouldn't work for free" is misleading.

I think it's misleading only if you consider the beneficiary of that work to be the same in both cases. I don't. The only beneficiary of every work-sample test I've ever been given was the company--it goes into some black hole and whether it was even good or not, to say nothing of any actionable feedback, has literally-literally never been forthcoming. On the other hand, I have very rarely not benefited in some way from sitting down and chatting with a technical leader at a company, whether it was directly about their problems (or their solutions!) or about tech in general. Both in a consulting-about-consulting capacity and an interview one.

> Also, you suggest that if they pay, that costs them instead of costing you. It already costs them more to interview than it costs you.

In an absolute sense, it definitely costs them more. In a relative one, it emphatically does not: they've got plenty of bodies that can parallelize. I can be interviewing with them, or I can be working, or I can be mopping my bathroom floor. I can't be doing all of those things at once.
>Reaction to a long term political commitment will be different - once people trust that the basic income will "always be there."

That might take a generation or two. I don't think I'd ever allow myself to be in a position of depending on an income stream that itself depended on the whims of legislators and their ability to budget. But I can see someone who grew up never knowing life without a basic income scheme might make the assumption he didn't have to worry about developing and maintaining a career.

It is a protected term here (in Canada), and it is not in the US.

For example, in 2001, Microsoft apparently agreed that in Canada, they would only use the acronym "MCSE", and not spell it out, because holding an MCSE does not make you an engineer.

I think it's amusing and cute that American developers call themselves engineers. It's not like they take on the ethical responsibilities that engineers do. But when in Rome, speak Romansh. Or however that goes.
I went through the initial TripleByte process earlier this year but was rejected. I passed the initial multiple choice programming test, but I failed miserably at the 1 hour programming exercise. I actually found the problem to be one of the more difficult algorithm type problems I've encountered in an interview situation. I am curious if the problems chosen by Triplebyte are representative of the typical types of questions for YC company interviews? I can't imagine they all have identical pre-screening processes, so how do you choose representative problems?
As an app developer, the lack of users makes WP uninteresting. But it has a slick, original interface and visual style, that has manage very smooth animation on even slow hardware, so it should be no wonder that there are people who fall in love with it.
When I was a Director of Engineering at Box, the engineering team was tasked with hiring 25 engineers in a single quarter. For several quarters. When hiring at that scale, it's hard to hire based on personas and elaborate preferences.

I just watched another startup in the same reference class grow at a similar speed, and I don't believe you. Suppose it takes 20 interview loops to hire one very good engineer, and each loop takes on average 10 engineer-hours. That's 200-engineer-hours per new hire, or about one engineer-month. That means if you have 100 engineers at Box (correct me if I'm way off base here, but 25 on 100 in a quarter sounds like a reasonable fast growth) you can hire 25 new engineers in a quarter while spending only 10% of your total labor recruiting.

The reason this doesn't usually work is because most engineers don't spend 10% of their time helping with recruiting. That is in my opinion an unforced error. They should.
