Personally, when conducting technical interviews, I try to keep the interviewee right at the limits of their knowledge and ability. It's sort of like standing blindfolded in a room and walking in different directions until you hit a wall to get a sense of the size of the room (don't try this at home). So this often involves starting overly complex, then walking back until you find the interviewee's comfort zone. Let them demonstrate their knowledge for a while (and hopefully gain back some confidence), then push them out to the complexity zone again until they stop answering/start looking uncomfortable again.

To give a concrete example of what that would look like with this question (let's call "A" the interviewer and "B" the interviewee):

Ah, thanks, was wondering what I was missing from the math.
It would be well to remember the old adage that there are two kinds of rock climbers: those that have fallen and those that will fall. As spectacular a feat as this was, even for someone as skilled as Honnold, he does this often enough, in the end, it will kill him.
With the caveat that for anyone actually looking for a nuanced article, that headline is far more likely to cause them to dismiss it than to click through. But I suppose there will always be other information sources targeting that demographic, with titles along the lines of "Emergent incentive structures for labor participation of middle class teens in labor over-supplied developed economies"[1], or something of the sort.

[1] Entirely fictitious title, was too millennial and lazy to find a proper article studying this ;)
Unfortunately it's pretty much industry standard that once you have physical access to the relevant CAN bus you can read (and write) everything. The normal protection which is mostly deployed is that the end-user only has access to the CAN bus on the ODB2 interface, which is behind a gateway and should not expose safety critical things. Some car manufacturers however might also only use a single CAN bus for everything, just to save the cost for the gateway.

I'm pretty sure we will see encryption in the future. But currently I'm only aware of efforts for authenticating CAN (and other signal based) communication. If anybody is interested, look for Autosar SecOC module. I'm not too deeply into it, but if it prevents tempering around with the system (like shown in the linked article) it's already a way forward.
Is he measuring IPv6 visibility in DNS, or IPv6 traffic? China went to mostly IPv6 for mobiles years ago. Where else could they get enough addresses?

Can we update this title to note that there are no more proprietary blobs in the NXP I.MX6?
Very cool! I've been reading up some about Integer Programming and this seems like a very interesting problem to solve with that. I would imagine this would apply across a lot of marketplaces as the author mentions.
It's not really all that different, which is why it's controversial.

Obviously, people are free to do risky activities, if they and their families and friends are the only ones who will suffer the consequences. Things get a lot messier when money is riding on the line, though - see concerns about Everest sherpas, free solo sponsorships, ski resorts advertising their backcountry...
I've deleted my FB and have no desire to recover it. Any service that's FB only can count me out.

Brandon Belt gets shifted all the time and it's been interesting to see how/when he beats the shift. Sometimes there will be a huge opening, which would allow him to hit toward the opposite field.
Another major source of IPv6 traffic that most people are unaware of it the cell networks. Most cellphone providers use IPv6.
CardDav exists for pretty much this purpose. It's how contact lists are exported from Google, LinkedIn, iOS, mail clients, etc., and has fields for arbitrary metadata.
Ransomeware devs on the other hand...
The biggest change in my memory was the one that stopped the endless passes back to the keeper by preventing him from picking it up if it had been kicked back. Also worth mentioning is the 3 points for a win I suppose.
> and terrorists would stop doing it, since it would be less effective at achieving the subgoal of "terror".

And that's why there are no terrorist attacks in Israel.

2 anecdotes: I work as a waiter and there are people in their late 20s and several over 50. College grads and older folks are (in my area) filling positions held by 19-25 year olds.

2. Radio shack had a were hiring ad at all locations in my area up until a few weeks ago when they went under. It signals they were doing well. Also, companies are always trying to add people with great skills or replace people if they have high turnover. They might not actually be hiring, just backing themselves up or replacing people.
The chapter covers both. And they impact everything from food to politics.
If you are telling them when, where, and how to work they are your employee and you should be paying payroll tax.
I'd say, if the site can be rewritten quickly, use the language you're most productive in.

If the site is small and can be ported in < 1 week might be a good rule.

But if your most productive language is PHP, why not leave it?

No reason to use Rails, Node, or Python for this.
Almost every time someone starts a question on with a "Why shouldn't I [...]" my answer is "If you don't know why, then you should [...]".
> why does "scale" matter in education?

Maybe because, specifically in the U.S., there are 73.6 million [0] children aged 0-17. 45.7 million (or 50.4 million [1]) of which are school age. If that isn't a problem of scale I have absolutely no clue what is. You can't give every single one of them the kind of attention and resources a super rich kid gets. It's just not feasible.

We as a country made the decision a long time ago that every child deserves an education. I'm sure there's a few libertarians out there who'd disagree. But, I don't think that's a controversial opinion these days. I'd go as far as saying that the opposite opinion, that not every child deserves an education, is borderline taboo. It's not something I would ever suggest in polite company unless I'm intentionally trying to make people think I'm a huge jerk.

Given that we want all children to be educated, that there are limited resources to do so, and the number of school age children is enormous we have no choice but to think of education as a problem of scale. Currently we spend $620 billion a year on public education [2]. That number is sure to increase, but never to the point where every kid has all of the hands on teaching that would be preferred. This means system-wide improvements are likely going to have to come from somewhere else; namely better methods of teaching which can be applied nearly across the board. Is this the optimal situation? No. But, when you consider that the natural state of things is no education at all, perhaps we shouldn't reflexively sneer at attempts to make an imperfect system marginally better for everyone in the long run.

Unicode is meant to replace all the other codesets. It's time to move on from them, except for compatibility reasons.

Anyways, it's possible to allow UTF-8 and non-UTF-8 on the same filesystem, and still provide form-preserving/insensitive behavior... ZFS does it.
I mean, it's not a terrible idea to put someone like Votto or Belt even at the top spot. These guys have very high OBPs who can work the count and coax out tons of walks. If they can get on base, that's really all that matters so the next guy in line can try to get them in.
Like I've said elsewhere, I have no problem with people who want to climb this way, and they're free to do whatever makes them happy. My point is that introducing needless risk doesn't enhance the achievement to me.

Unless I'm seriously missing something about the "sport" of climbing, the point is to climb. My chosen hobby of auto racing involves plenty of risk, but we don't leave our helmets at home to somehow make it more "pure".

Man, we are bringing a giant load of complexity into the browser with this. As I understand it, what we get in return is a 2x speed increase. I wonder if its worth it.

As far as I can tell Strang’s target audience is something like: most undergraduates at MIT who didn’t already learn the subject before arrival, except the pure math students who are likely to substitute a more theoretical course (18.700 or 18.701 vs. 18.06).
Maybe, but the general acceptance process of needing to get approval by the existing neighbors seems to both be the pro & con that prevents more widespread availability of coops
Good point on the terminology. My main (and relatively early) experience has been that there are good lessons to be learned from both sides (like sustainable growth and profit models on the "non-startup" end, and rapid innovation/marketing on the "startup" end)
Jovio | Jr/Sr Software Engineer | Austin, TX | ONSITE | REMOTE | FULLTIME | Jovio.com

Jovio is a new real estate company on a mission to build a platform to modernize the way homes are sold. Using an interactive AI-driven interface, an innovative home valuation model and a library of refreshingly simple forms, we're redefining homeownership and inventing a few words along the way.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Developer, one of the first to join the Jovio engineering team in Austin, TX. As a necessarily impactful contributor to the successful launch of the MVP, ideal candidates will have at least a few years’ professional experience developing responsive, end-to-end web applications with Ruby on Rails, using a relational database like MySQL or PostgreSQL, and exposure to front-end JavaScript web technology like React (what we’re using). We integrate with various RESTful APIs and plan to augment our data with bulk data delivery from industry partners.

You’ll collaborate with the founding CEO, our Technical Lead, and an accomplished technical advisor with 30+ years’ experience. We have been working with a software development firm to build out the MVP (they’ve done this for other successful venture-backed US companies), and you will collaborate with them as we transition ownership of the code to you and the in-house team in Austin.

In sum, this is a unique opportunity to join an early stage, well-funded tech-centric company and learn a massive amount while accelerating your career in a high-stakes industry where you are directly participating in ensuring the rewards outweigh the risks.

Ask HN: Found 109 Sitecore related software development jobs. Is it so popular?
I don't think it's a matter of want, as much as a matter of being disconnected from what working class life is like, which I think ends up having the same effect, even if the intention is much less sinister.

Unaffordable housing is how local homeowners loot the vast sums of money chasing tech talent. If housing is affordable, you can assume that the high-paying jobs aren't there. If you start to prop up the job market there, it'll quickly become unaffordable once folks realize that its a tech hub.
To take it one step further, when does willful ignorance become disinformation and manipulation?
This is ridiculous and definitely a false dichotomy.

I know HN has a hard-on for Uber at the moment, but comments like this are just pure pitchforking. To be clear, I don't condone nor intend to downplay sexual assault at workplaces, nor do I doubt Susan Fowler's account one iota.

However, there hasn't been any tangible evidence so far that the dismissal of Susan Fowler's sexual harassment stemmed from a board-level executive or Kalanick himself. All I remember vaguely was an article that was popular on HN that came out after Fowler's account, claiming that such a culture must stem directly from the uppermost echelons of management.

Again, to reiterate I don't doubt that Fowler's complaints were ignored by management. My contention is that everyone on HN won't satisfied with anything short of Kalanick's dismissal, when even Susan herself didn't claim that people on the same level as a board-level executive or Kalanick himself were aware of the situation. Middle management, yes. Kalanick-level, no.

Imagine if this happened at Walt Disney or Facebook. I don't think it would be reasonable to ask Zuckerberg to step down if a similar blog post came out about Facebook.

It also points out that more teens are in school during the summer. I certainly was, and that was many years ago.

Also, I can't resist griping about this:

> The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.3 percent in May, the lowest in 16 years, ...

The article later discloses that the labor force participation rate is now about 63%. And it hasn't recovered at all since 2008. It's just plateaued.
"Fun"?

Facebook was fun in 2005. Now it's just ... addictive.

Graphic Showing HBO Silicon Valley Opening Scene with IP
Thanks for the tips. I would almost definitely just stash it in my garage while I took it apart.

That actually sounds perfect for a project I've been working on. I think changing your environment really helps with thinking, so I added wheels to my desk/workbench at home. I've been trying to find parts that are inexpensive, reliable, and have enough torque to move an entire workbench, but they are near impossible to find.

My first goal is to add automated raising and lowering of the table surface so I can switch from sitting to standing. Then I want to replace the casters with actual motorized wheels. The plan is to run the whole thing on a bunch of 18650s and use that as my UPS for the electronics on my workbench as well.

Plus I think it would be hilarious to build a desk that you can control from afar, since you have to be at one to use it anyways.

Separate from non-lock-in reasons, I'd consider using the hosted version if I could export data at a later time so I could go self-hosted in the future (say, if I start writing some code for it and there's no API that does what I want).
There are multiple elements to unpack here. The obvious pre-crime problem other commenters raise. The fact that terrorism is such a rare risk it isn't worthy of our attention.

But I'd like to raise another objection: Homomorphic encryption does not provide integrity over the ciphertext, which could open the door to active attacks against the systems that undermine its privacy goals.

It's an easy mistake to make. rand() is built around hidden, global mutable state. It's fundamentally a bad design, and it's the same reason I dislike the std::randint proposal.
Personally, I look back on my minimum wage jobs with a great deal of fondness, those were some of the best times of my life.

That said, depending upon your geographical location, mathematically you pretty much have to start working and saving/compounding at 15 to even hope to have a chance at what would historically be considered a middle class standard of living, so your advice is probably sound. Plus, self-employment offers a far better opportunity for tax evasion, which is something I intend to teach my children as soon as they're old enough to keep their mouth shut and ready to start learning how the world really works.

I was in school not long ago. I loved my summers, not because I was working, but because I was just having fun. I thought, if I'm not going to have holidays like this in future (after university), why the hell would I spend them working? And I enjoyed myself with friends, doing my hobbies (programming and learning Japanese) and travelling and of course, shooter games.

This coming summer I'll be doing a job (I'm at university), and while it is appealing in some sense (I'm getting paid for it), I know what I'd rather be doing.

I just don't understand why parents are asking their children to spend that long time of summer to do things they don't want to. They're already given homework, and school life is stressfull, especially when most of it is days that last from 9am until 4pm with added homework and maybe learning an instrument meanwhile.

I say let them do what they want, and they won't come out worse for it. I think it is a very strong criticism that only "official" extracurricular activities are looked upon favorably by the capitalists, and I suggest there ought to be a shift in that situation. You don't have to start getting people on the wage labour mill as soon as possible, and for me it's quite sad to learn that it may be becoming the norm.

The next alt coin
Wait, so Pinterest is about as valuable as Twitter? That makes no sense. Twitter is everywhere - it's how people communicate with the damn President of the United States of America for crying out loud. Twitter and Facebook are really the only big worldwide social networks: everything else is localized, or too small. There's massive value from that alone.

Meanwhile Pinterest... well, maybe they have a lot of interior decorating collections and cupcake ideas, but there's also a ton of spam and most people I know that used it years ago don't use it now.

How are the two even close?
I'm tempted to try this. Netflix in the UK is laughable when it comes to movies. The only reason we keep it is because of the exclusives (I guess that explains why they do them). We have about 6 streaming services and I have to use JustWatch every time we want to watch something as I have no idea which service something is on :-D This is very solidly a "first world problem" but still a bizarre one given it's all software.

This looks superb, thank you for building a great product with a non-hostile privacy policy.

Before trusting my data/time with something, I generally like to understand the motivations of the creators.

Do you intend to run this as a profit making business, or just as an open source project? Do you have thoughts/opinions on monetization? How do you intend to continue to develop it in the medium/long term?

JS is certainly not going to disappear.

But with WebAssembly, you'll not be locked into it, or into transpilers that produce it. Chances are, we'll see other reasonable languages being compiled to WebAssembly and getting mass adoption.

(WebAssembly is a stack machine with a bytecode interpreter, running in the browser, with code downloaded from the net. Java tried to be basically the same thing, only 25 years too early.)

S/He didn't even spell Los Alamos correctly. Pretty offensive all around, really.
as someone who built a similar product (but for networking), i will reveal a very hard-earned lesson about CRMs that don't target sales & marketing: no one cares.

everyone will tell you what a great idea it is, and how useful it could be, but no one wants to do any work to that end. it just doesn't solve a real pain for enough people to build a business around (given the product you present on the home page).

however, if you're serious about this space, you will automate the crap out of data collection and make the product a super-passive intelligent assistant (for mobile). make users seem more kind and thoughtful than they otherwise are with this app, and people might just pay for it. there's a potentially big privacy hurdle but i found most people to be surprisingly unconcerned about that if you provide tangible value.
It's a military town first and foremost, there is a tech scene but most of it seems to be adjacent to defense/aerospace. Seems like a bit of a different world that the rest of tech sometimes.
