Are there any facts to substantiate your assertion about power being the problem? It would seem to me that the power of elites is trending down if anything. The rise of Trump, the Brexit vote, and the rise in taxes as a percent of GDP across most rich counties would seem to go against the selfish interests of the monied elite.
If you believe, as I do, that subtle (and sometimes over) racism and sexism are real problems for the HN community, it's especially important:

(a) not to dismiss HN as a bastion of racism and sexism, as doing so concedes the whole site to those ideas

(b) to challenge racist and sexist arguments on the site both reliably and civilly.

Most of the people putting those arguments forward are trolls, and are seen as such by the site (watch what gets flagged). One of the most effective strategies race and gender trolls have is to rile up thoughtful people so that they make dumb, angry arguments. It creates a kind of autoimmune disorder on the site. Don't enable them.

Hi wayn3,

To clarify - m00dy did get a response from our recruitment manager ~9 business days after submitting his application. What I acknowledged is that we could have done better is in responding immediately to the submission of his solution, instead of simply reporting the result 9 business days later.

And I responded to you 3 weeks after you sent in your solution, because it took me that long to have a chance to your solution. I wasn't actually aware of the HN posting at the time.

In any event, given all the issues raised here, I'm changing our recruitment process (I've added a comment below). I hope this addresses concerns.

I'm not trying to 'win' an argument here, I'm trying ensure BaseCase has a reasonable process that provides the outcomes I need while being transparent to participants. I therefore am trying to get a fair understanding of you and other's criticisms of the BaseCase recruitment process and making amendments that seem reasonable.

Regards,

Diarmuid
There are about 200k UHNWI in the world taking the most generous definition wikipedia provides. Supposing they are split across Tokyo, Shanghai, Moscow, Beijing, NYC, London, Mumbai and Delhi (to name only the expensive megacities I can name off the top of my head), that's 200k UHNWI out of 195 million.

Jane Goodall's book "Harvest for Hope" had some great statistics about the amount of water alone required to raise a kilogram of beef compared to chicken, rice, etc. I read it over ten years ago but I remember the numbers being jaw dropping. Health issues aside, beef puts a horrible load on the environment.
You are right about culture fit.

And yes, running a company is hard.

If you're so strapped of cash why are you wasting money enforcing a dress code (unless necessary)? Will that increase revenue or cut cost?

> And YOU want to argue about dress code?

I would probably be fuming as well if I got a complaint unrelated to the core business. But guess what, your employees are not robots. Sure, it's not inhumane to demand a dress code or the fact that the free coffee sucks. But it will make them think twice if another opportunity shows up and the first to move are usually the ones with more skills.

Do you know who was fired for being a poor culture fit? John Lasseter
This would make sense if it were less expensive to manufacture a Blu-Ray player with HDCP than without, or if there were a significant number of consumers who explicitly prefer HDCP. Neither of these is true, so not using HDCP makes the device more valuable for the exact same cost (or maybe slightly less).

I've decided to simplify the recruitment process, due to some criticisms in this thread (some I would disagree with, some fair). New applicants will follow this process:

1. New applicants receive an outline of the salary range, the working environment, our products, and the remaining recruitment process (our "FAQ").

2. "Software architecture" test (3.5hrs - 6hrs avg, 9hr max)

3. ~2 1hr interviews

4. Offer

The 'software architecture' test document has also been expanded, so that more information is provided on what we're looking for exactly.

Since everything is disclosed in step 1, people can make an informed decision on whether to proceed. This differs with the previous process in that one needed to pass a screening test before receiving this document.

Notes:

-) All applicants receive explicit accept / rejection emails (this has always been the case)

-) I will try to reduce the review time for the tests (I'm involving more people)

I've actually found it pretty hard to find regular work focused on doing FP. My last job was Erlang when I started, but pivoted to Go because of a lack of Erlang developers. My last two jobs before that were mixes of C and Haskell, but only because I was given the lattitude to select haskell. This time around when I was interviewing I was trying to find something that would let me focus on FP, but the best I could find were jobs that ostensibly wanted to hire Clojure and Scala devs, but really 90% of the job would be maintaining a bunch of legacy enterprise architecturey Java with just enough FP to try to attract people into the positions.
Funny, I had one of those meetings at work just yesterday.

"Given X, Y and Z goals, how would you solve for this knowing A) these are the constraints and B) that me and the other cofounder have already decided what we want to do, and really just want your buy in."
Product Owner is not the same as Project Manager. Product Owner is similar to Product or Program Manager in software, though the Product Owner role is usually a subset focused on software development and does not include go to market and P&L.

SCRUM Master role is the closest to a Project Manager.
In much the same way, Walmart/Tesco/etc reduce the food supply. How can a poor person possibly get enough to eat when they must compete with the near infinite spending power of Walmart? There must be mass starvation!

Similarly, if you own real estate and rent it out you aren't reducing the housing supply.

Your hypothetical weathly person might choose to buy 67,000 flats and gain monopoly power over their rents.

You don't get monopoly power over rents by buying 67,000 flats (out of a millions).
> Try getting a job in the public administration in Spain without speaking Spanish, in France without speaking French, in Italy without speaking Italian, in the UK without speaking English... see the pattern?

Yes, I see it, and is not the same as you think.

Would be, "Try getting a job in the public administration in Spain without speaking Spanish AND catalan, in France without speaking French AND Patóis, in Italy without speaking Italian AND Lombard, in the UK without speaking English AND Gaelic"... see the pattern? Duplicated effort, same result.

But in Argentina the same guy could use the extra time to learn other things, that maybe could be even useful for their employers.
It means the expectation of the demand (companies) are not matching what the market provides.

Having to look for a job in Europa, I dare say most job offers are laughable.

C#, PHP and java are MODERN technologies that no one should be scared of.

Windev is a very good tool.

Mysql and mssql are the only two worthy databases.

Free software is a free as a bier.

AGILE is SOOO complex...it has to be officiated religiously like ITIL or ISO norms.

They want software devs on the market already proefficient in proprietary/tricky technologies, and no one understand why jobless persons with so much time cannot buy these 10K€ tools and use their worthless time in self formation.

And salary expectation are low : a coder MUST not be paid more than any manager. Even the manager responsible for the cleaning team of 500m² office with a headcount of 2.

They just have irrealistic expectations. That's all folks.
As the world gets wealthier, the ceiling goes up, the floor doesn't really change. So, duh, the Delta grows larger.

This is not a problem per se. The problem is that people at the bottom cannot get their needs met, in part because we simply do not build affordable housing in anywhere near sufficient quantities. If we would remedy that, some people being crazy rich would not, per se, be an issue.

You seem to not understand what 'trickle down' disparagingly refers to. The common contention with supply side economics isn't that savings == investment == growth, rather it is in regards to the implications of marginal tax rates on tax revenues.

This is part of why my example is crazy, yes. It's not that hard to grow chickpeas, so it's in turn very hard to monopolize falafel.
> Speaking as someone who's on the spectrum, just because one is autistic doesn't automatically make them toxic - nor does being toxic automatically make one autistic. This is a really disingenuous and harmful stereotype of people on the spectrum.

You should note that I did not say either of those things, nor do I believe them.
The specific social forces at work in creating this author's particular problem are not at all universal, just as the disproportionate use of force by American police against black Americans is not just the universal problem of police brutality, but a specific circumstance in which that problem is made more extreme. Pretending otherwise is morally and factually wrong.
Just FTR: this is not accidental or lazy on my part. It's highly intentional. But I can certainly appreciate that it frustrates some learners.

There's a principle called "Cognitive Load Theory" [1] which I believe all teachers have to take seriously. Specifically, the "extraneous cognitive load". It's why I choose to introduce concepts with foo/bar style first.

I am concerned by the observations I've made over many years of teaching (JS) that many people tend to get distracted by problem domains and miss out on the underlying concepts. For example, if I am teaching about `this` but I use an example like a login system, it's far too easy for someone to get distracted by what they know -- or worse, what they don't know -- about how login systems work.

It's an overload on the cognitive side because the learner (reader) is having to juggle not only the new concepts but also their knowledge/opinions/baggage about the problem domain.

Cognitive overload is so "dangerous" not just because you might overflow someone's capacity and they stop getting anything out of the teaching, but because it has the tendency to become subtractive and actually cause them to lose what they already knew or had learned about the concept.

So... my approach in teaching, which is also reflected in the books, is to default to teaching a concept first without a problem domain, using generics like foo/bar, and THEN once I feel someone has the concepts, later, you can reinforce those with practical applications in problem domains.

IOW, I'd teach the abstract principles of `this` first, then the abstract principles of the Prototype system, then I'd start to show some examples like a login system that show how you can put those abstract concepts together into a real thing.

Anyway, I understand it doesn't meet your preference, but I just wanted to explain the reasoning behind it from my side.

You are comparing money at two different times, which is invalid.

Assume an income tax rate of X%, cap gains tax rate of Y%, and a rate of return R.

Consider a spender. In year 0 he earns 1 dollar, he pays X% in cap gains and spends the rest. In total he paid X year 0 dollars.

Consider a saver. In year 0 he earns 1 dollar, he pays X% in cap gains and invests the rest. 1 year later he is holding (1-X)(1+R), which he cashes out of. He then pays Y[(1-X)(1+R)-(1-X)] in taxes. In total, he has paid X+Y[(1-X)(1+R)-(1-X)]/(1+R) in year 0 dollars in taxes.

The latter is always greater than the former.

Lets expand your example. Suppose the rate of return is 100%. The spender received $10,000 at time 1 and paid $5,000 in year 1 dollars. 50% tax rate.

In contrast, the saver received $20,000 at time 0 and paid $10,000 in taxes. Then they invested the remainder, and at time 1 received an additional $10,000. He then paid $2,500 on that. In year 1 dollars, he paid $20,000 ($10,000 year 0 dollars == $20,000 year 1 dollars) in income taxes + $2,500 in cap gains. That's a total tax rate of 56.25%.

I have always found it more interesting than Tor. After learning some Java, I read through the code, even compiled seminole Monotone DVCS(ironically difficult, because of the recently mentioned legacy version of the Botan C++ crypto library), but it is all a little beyond me.

Perhaps one of the coolest projects I'd seen in a while was Nightweb, a I2P-layered distributed social network, written in Clojure, flashing all the hipster programming bling as it be.

https://github.com/oakes/Nightweb

I have always wondered if it gets the same level of scrutiny or interest from researchers or nation states, as it was largely self-contained and not meant to onion route to public Internet like Tor (judging from my reading of the design).

Please, HNers, school me and impress me with your I2P trivia and knowledge.

Not to mention that AC is so easily powered by solar. Offsetting heat with solar requires batteries, an electric grid hookup, or some other energy storage system.
You must be from the West. I repeat, a competitively priced motorcycle would upend the market and make you a very very rich.

The vast majority of motorbike users reside in Asia and Africa.

Imagine being able to charge your spare batteries using solar panels during the day and no longer paying for gas; an electric engine would be quieter and require less maintenance. In performance and ruggedness it would have to supersede current offerings and I guess that is quite difficult or else Yamaha, Honda, Sukam and the rest would have built one already.

If I were rich I would certainly consider funding such a project.

Air source heat pumps are about as costly to operate as natural gas in mild climates (where it's generally above freezing most of the time). If you do dig up your yard and lay underground pipe, that heat pump system will cost a fraction of natural gas to operate, even in Minnesota. And that's with natural gas prices at historic lows.

When considering a single photon the classical explanation certainly fails. However, this is different from the claim that an effect perceived at macro levels cannot be explained by classical theory and only by quantum mechanics.

The paper's result sounds to be along similar lines - claiming that a certain number "could only have come from quantum theory" while classical physics perfectly well yields the same number.

By virtue of being a super-theory of classical mechanics, all phenomena are quantum phenomena with quantum explanations, so that's not what is being talked about here.
