Fact checking is irrelevant. What's necessary is education. Just like spell
check will not allow you to magically compose elegant prose, fact check is not
going to prevent people from being misled. Notice how both of these "problems"
have the same solution. In fact, fact check can be counter productive as people
now sprinkle their articles with irrelevant facts.

Education is the solution to all social problems.
I think the age of the account increases the likelihood of the story being true: the person was so compelled to tell their story that they created an anonymous account just to do so.
For those unaware, Ted Chiang wrote the short story that the 2016 film Arrival was based on.
More than likely you left money on table. I found asking people what salary they would like, they always low balled themselves with a 10% increase of current salary. Minimum i give is 15% because that is average for people changing jobs. Devops engineer i just hired was well under priced for the market so i gave him 45% raise. He didn't even ask for increase in pay.

Not every company/hiring manger is trying to rip off their employees. Paying people industry/local a bit above averages for the job duties makes for happier employees that are less likely to leave or have moral issues.

Wikipedia doesn't always do a good job. Many wikis specific to companies read like press releases, scrubbing controversy and bad news.
If the teams are working on similar problems, and if the teams actually work together they will stabilize on a singular stack. There will be cases where work will be duplicated, and there will be cases where tech components need to be refactored because the stack has changed, but you will end up with a very well known and understood set of tech primitives that your services are built out of.

There are lots of reasons why you may never hit that state of everyone self selecting the same or a very similar stack, but they are never technical and they always indicate a team structure problem that is going to cost you way more if you don't deal with it then the amount of duplicated work you might encounter
You're right, and it's possible that fighting incorrect facts might be a losing fight. A news article can have many correct facts, it only needs one lie that fell through the cracks in order to bias the readers.

Talk to anyone from a country with a corrupt government. They often know at a very deep level exactly what's going on, since they were born in an environment where things only make sense if you are skeptical and look at the motivations behind a politicians actions.
Color me shocked that somehow the author found the alphabet of his native language to be superior.

This article takes as a given some assumptions that I don't understand at all. China being resistant to change? There are few cohesive societies that I can think of that have experienced more change than China since the end of WWII. And it would be an understatement to say that the rise of literacy rates are more strongly correlated with industrialization than adoption of phonetic alphabets.

I think it's telling that the author grew up in a Chinese-American community. Expat communities tend to lag their mother cultures in terms of social progress. An experience growing up in a community could explain this "steeped in tradition" characteristic that is attributed to Chinese culture here.

Disclaimer: I'm a white American. My wife is Chinese and emigrated herself from China as a young adult; I get a lot of my perspective from her. Would be interested to hear what Chinese members of HN think of the article.

First, in what possible way would it make sense for those rules to be implemented at the state level? As for whether there should be rules in the first place, why should the opinions of providers carry more weight than that of the consumers who pay them?

ISPs will of course say that all those rules will drive prices up for consumers. OK, let prices go up and then let consumers decide whether they want to change the rules. somehow europe manages to have strong privacy protections and dirt cheap broadband. Market conditions are not exactly the same in the US, but nor are they anywhere near as difficult as corporate spokespeople claim them to be.

> ISP can't tell the difference between a personal VPN and an employer-mandated one. ... Fortune 500 and from the governments

To an ISP that sees net neutrality as a barrier to extracting their "true value", they hear: a user is depending on the ISP to provide a corporate VPN to their Fortune 500 or government job.

It's only reasonable that the ISP is fairly compensated for that, after all, without the ISP the employee couldn't work at all! Now it's just a question of price.. +$200/mo? 5% of the employee wages might be reasonable? Or maybe a % of the company's revenue? The employee contributes to revenue, the ISP enables the employee to work... it's only fair.

They'd have to charge this for any VPN of course, because like you said, they can't tell the difference between personal and corporate VPNs.

(In case it's not obvious I vehemently disagree with the above situation, and strongly believe that we should either have very tightly-enforced net neutrality or even better, make last-mile a utility that's not allowed to directly provide internet access and instead let people choose from dozens of ISPs to provide their upstream connection)
The article makes the claim ("In the Pearl River Delta, breakneck development is colliding with the effects of climate change.") that climate change is having a major impact, but all of the items they listed (outside of a sea rise) are caused by human development.

Even if it were all objective fact reporting, related facts can be left out that change the picture. Imagine someone reporting that some new supplement is correlated with a 500% increase in some specific deadly disease, and that whatever study that produced that number is bulletproof. Sounds risky! But the disease's base rate, not reported, is only 10^-6, so 500% over that really isn't that much.

Another fun one is if certain facts about overall dimensions of the data are reported but not about the individual dimensions themselves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox

Basically my point is even if we suppose these are objective facts, that's not enough to rule out bias determining which facts are used.

I think you're confusing two sales concepts - first to talk, and anchoring.

Anchoring is a more general marketing concept that works well in advertisements (crossing out a black $280 and putting a red $100 underneath it). Anchoring doesn't work so well for something much more fluid (and with much more at stake) such as a salary negotiation.

In-person sales meetings (which is what an interview is, for both sides) are where "first to talk" come into play. It's a concept as old as war meetings between opposing roman generals. First to talk loses, period. Why? I don't know, but years of sales and recruitment has taught me that whoever slips is going to give the advantage to the other side of the table.

You can only hurt yourself by giving a number. The company has set a budget, either you fit or you don't. Maybe the budget is higher than you expected and you take the job for way more than you would have asked for. Maybe it's less and you don't take the job. The key point is that company is not the only company you are dealing with - you can move on to another. And another and another, and as long as you don't give your number, you will win out.

I can't share this data but when I worked at a bootcamp our analysis showed this as well. Students that gave their number got paid less. There's a big push for bootcamp transparency so hopefully that sort of info will get published soon.
At this point there's a basically unanimous opinion among Go professionals that humans don't stand a chance unless the time controls were skewed in a very unfair way and/or humans cooperated against the computer.

Net neutrality is a relatively recent policy development in response to actual market conditions. Deregulators like to avoid the question of why the regulations were put in there to begin with, claiming they were imposed by some ideological interloper but never acknowledging that regulations are often put in place by popular demand.

The media (in 2017 at least) is not necessarily here to inform the public. Some of these vanilla interviews are staged by actors on both sides of the aisle just to keep the capitalist machine oiled and keep the relevant guys relevant. As an analogy, Marc can have an opinion (and y'all should hear it) about ML/AI not because he has great domain knowledge but because he's Marc Andreessen and he controls a large chunk of one of the most hallowed means of production.
It seems that a lot of people feel this way. Maybe the answer is getting involved in local politics, as quaint as that sounds?

GPU drivers are not just simple pieces of code that are used to access hardware. They contain very fast implementations of extremely complex libraries, and optimizing compilers for complex programming languages. Just to give you an idea of the ballpark, the nVidia GPU drivers are a more complex system with more code than the entire Linux kernel.

As the performance of this system is absolutely critical, a large part of the value proposition of a GPU is its driver package. Since nVidia clearly leads the pack in the quality of their drivers, they have no intention of opening them up.

I'm so impressed with Shenzen, but there's nothing shocking about it. I've been following China's rise up the value chain since the late 90's. It is steady, predictable, and inexorable. They're not done yet. If America doesn't get serious about invigorating it's high tech manufacturing ecosystem, so we have the talent and supply chain needed to stay competitive innovating in the world of atoms they way we do with bits, we're gonna have a bad time... if we aren't already.

Looks suspiciously marginal.
Problem is even with that I would wait for an offer from your company before saying a number, and then I would ask for more, because over the course of my career this has enabled me to consistently be paid more than average. So your "maximum" would be my minimum, and if I were to work there, I'd want more. Maybe that means I don't work there, that's fine, but it'll work somewhere else, eventually!

Just because you signed it doesn't mean it is enforceable.

You sign a waiver at trampoline parks that says you won't sue if you hurt yourself or if they cause you to be hurt. The first part covers them, the second part doesn't. If they were negligent or failed to maintain the park and you were injured as a result you can sue them, that waiver is meaningless. [0]

[0] IANAL but I've heard of many cases around these sorts of waivers at parks, rock climbing walls, bounce houses, etc where the waiver is meaningless. They only have you sign it so you think you can't sue them because you signed a piece of paper - and that tactic works.

This is fitting into the same category of not being able to ask candidates; what's your sexual preference? what's your religion? do you smoke? are you planning on having children? etc. as part of the hiring process. They are rules that help avoid discriminatory hiring practices. At the end of the day they help companies more than the individual. The individuals are already protected from discrimination and could sue if these questions came up during an interview and they didn't get the job. Banning these questions ensures companies and their interviewers avoid situations where they could become legally liable.

Whether salary info helps the company or individual more is debatable since this does not represent a protected class, but obviously the goal is to support the individual.

I'm sure you'll like it if you like C++. Trouble arises, as with all niche languages, when you try to move to production and you have to source libraries and/or support.

I'm getting tired of all of the hot air coming from these tech oligarchs. They're so enriched by a tech boom and a decade of easy money that we worship at their feet. Their vision and goal for the future is simply more money for themselves at the expense of others.

"Guys look! An hour long commute is actually a good thing because you can spend it with your kids!" Why is it so hard to spend time with our kids now?!

I know that sounds harsh, but we seriously need to stop the hero worship in SV culture and begin building a society that benefits everyone, not a society that works itself to the bone just to eat the cake of a larger corporation and enrich the early investors. They will just as quickly dilute your quality of life as they will dilute the shares in your company.

If you don't have something constructive to add to a conversation, you should stay out of it. You and the other two comments "informing" me that other car models use center mounted dashboards are at best a distraction from the conversation (the model 3) and at worst condescending.
Of course most of it will be "drivel", but it's _your_ drivel, the drivel that your life is made up of.

Just think of all the "pointless" photos we take of our children, they mean so much to us.

Companies should name their range first mate, or just interview and accept the fact that the job hunt sucks for everyone. Why do you think external recruiters exist? They work as middleman that have intimate knowledge of a company's range, as well as their candidates' range, without either party knowing. That allows them to find helpful matches without wasting either party's time... at a 20% markup of course ;)

> “Then why did he steal this stuff? That’s the story the jury’s going to want to know about,” Judge William Alsup retorted.

I find it alarming that the judge assumes a "guilty until proven innocent" position. Obviously outsiders like us would take a stance like this, but for a judge on the bench to operate in that manner sets off all kinds of red flags for me.

There are readily available objective truths about what wireless networks can and cannot do. They cannot compete with fiber or high-end DOCSIS deployments. Since wired last-mile infrastructure is a natural monopoly, there cannot be any reasonable expectation that a free market will exist.

True, but the problem with the Sacramento delta is keeping the fresh water flow high enough to keep salt water from going upstream, not getting rid of the river water. If sea levels rise, the delta becomes a salt flat and the fresh water is diverted to the California Water Project. See Peripheral Canal.[1] Maybe build a dam at Vallejo and stop salt water incursion from going further upstream.

What scheme you consider better at this stage?
But often you see completely bogus facts going around. It would already be good to get rid of those.
That's all true. "Fake news" became a term recently due to a situation requiring far less nuance to understand and combat.

Stories were intentionally being made up from scratch and targeted to manipulate certain people for a specific tangible effect. And it worked. We have to stop the bleeding and address this very low-hanging fruit. And that much is not a difficult problem to solve, the Googles and Facebooks are the right places to solve it to provide the greatest visibility. We're not going to make the whole population critical thinkers in the short term.
