I like it! We may quibble over what the time limit should be, but I think that doing coding challenges this way is the most inclusive and fair way to do a coding interview. All candidates do the work in their own environment, so one doesn't have to make an exception for, as one example, a blind person who can't write on a whiteboard. It's also more inclusive for potential interviewers; consider the challenges involved in a blind or visually impaired interviewer watching a candidate code in real-time. This way, the interviewer doesn't have to watch in real time, just as coworkers usually don't watch each other in real time on the job. Unless the team does pair programming, of course.

To take it all the way, I think the follow-up discussion should be done strictly in text, using some combination of IM and a web-based code review tool. So the interviewer would call out parts of the PR and comment on them through the code review tool, and the two could have more free-flowing discussion over IM. Again, this would be just like the way it's actually done on the job, at least in my dream all-remote environment.

What kind of salaries are MS applied Data Scientists commanding? I am very interested in enrolling in Georgia Tech's OMSA, but very little graduate statistics exist for these types of programs and job searches usually don't provide compensation. Further, the vagueness surrounding the name “data scientist” clutters up the information that is available.

There is benefit to making settlements and final judgments final. Otherwise you are incentivizing constant re-litigation of the same issues. It would also make trolls less likely to settle in the first place.

You can put such terms inside your own settlement agreements. One common way is to use a running royalty rather than a lump sum royalty. If the patent is ever invalidated, you can stop paying.

>My personnal experience with data scientist and startups is that they're hired much much too early, when the product has a lot more fundamental issues to solve, and only because it looks cool to say that you're doing AI.

Not just startups, but big established companies as well. At bigger companies not only do you have data and infrastructure issues, you also have business process and political issues. I've seen more than a few cases where fixing a business process would have a much higher ROI than a model, but it's easier and cheaper to hire a data scientist and make a big noise about it than it is to admit your business process (that includes 50+ people) is a mess and do the work to fix it.
SliTaz was another great distribution, very feature complete and highly polished for its incredibly small size. Unfortunately - and you could see this coming a mile away - like so many other projects (open source or otherwise) they decided they’d “do a rewrite” and the project really lost its way and fizzled our thereafter.

That's silly. This is a discussion which you're not obliged to read and I'm not a best-selling author or anything like that.

>or at least recognise that blanket advice to all parents in all circumstances in all countries at all times is going to be worthless and probably wrong.

But I did recognise it: 'I'm not arguing that one-size-fits-all; there are many legitimate parenting styles'. Also 'Yes' at the very start.

Btw, using one's own child as an example in a discussion like this increases emotional investment and then it's harder to determine what's true. Better to argue abstractly I think.

Like banks.

The discussion is turning in circles. People lose coins. Have a backup. Too difficult. Put them in a bank. Banks are hackable. Manage the coins yourself. But then I might lose them.

(you can replace bank with 'trusted third-party', doesn't change the outcome)

Consider the two options: self-managed, or in a trusted third-party. Whichever has the smaller (perceived) risk, that's where you store your coins. Not everybody asses risk equally, and that's fine. My preferred solution may not be the same as your preferred solution. That's fine, still.
Ask HN: How did you organize your technical job search?
I've found the process quite cumbersome for a number of reasons:

- Parallelizing processes across recruiters and companies

- Email communication and scheduling is time consuming

- Simply clicking apply doesn't have a great conversion rate so I've spent lots of time finding connections in my network and generally coming with up ways to highlight myself.

I've seen things like Huntr and JobTrack and heard about many people using spreadsheets; how else do people manage this process?
> How many emails just ended up going to a limited distribution list? Worse, many email systems have a retention period. (This is also a problem with Slack, mind you.)

I'm not saying that email is perfect and doesn't have its issues, I'm just saying Slack is worse.

The kind of use case I was thinking of is myself and others searching through our own personal archives for stuff (which people at my company use to get around server retention policies). That works with email but not with Slack.

That is a very different issue, as there the concept is that the original file in the original location is being replaced. As is stated in that post, at that point the person could just as easily replace the program itself with a modified version of the entire program. That is not a security issue in the software.
I think your approach is reasonable. But I'm curious, why provide the challenge in PDF rather than HTML? Unless your PDF generator can create a tagged PDF, that's going to be less accessible for blind people to blind people than HTML, .docx or .odt, or even plain text. I don't mean to guilt-trip here; I figure you weren't aware of that problem. Is there a reason why PDF is better? For example, do your challenges tend to include graphics or complex math notation?
Typical for what? SaaS websites?

Websites monetizing with ads generally sell for only around 12 months revenue, and apps generally sell for around 6 months, because of the volatility in users/downloads and uncertainty in the markets.

Regardless, the poster you replied to was making the point (I think) that it's a little early to say you're making 'X-monthly' revenue when you're basing it on 1 or 2 months (which even the OP agreed with).
That's because it does everything you need. It hasn't had much in the way of updates for years.

For some reason, whenever I hear parenting advice (especially related to technology usage) and see that it's from someone my parents' age, I automatically stop listening. I feel like they are so far removed from the challenges of parenting in this decade that they have nothing to offer us. Not that our challenges are harder than theirs, but just that they're such a different set of challenges that we can't relate to each other.
The spec for at least one MS-Word format is open, too, but that does not mean I would like for every email sent to me through gmail to be in that format.

I interpret this announcement from Google as a sign that the default format for emails sent from gmail, which is now basically plain text (and HTML via MIME's multipart/alternative) will some day, when Google is ready, change to some complicated thing that requires the user to consent to Javascript's running on his machine before he can view his message, same as it is now for web pages.

It would be prohibitively tedious for me to persuade everyone who send me email through gmail to go into gmail's settings and switch the format back to plain text. And even if I succeed, Google has at its disposal various dark patterns, e.g., resetting the setting back to AMP every now and then (which please note would not be noticeable by the sender unless I tell him).

A quick tour around Android platforms #1: Android TV
I disagree with most of this comment, but I think it's an interesting and valuable discussion.

Here's where we agree: You need to stop the erosion in order to fix it. Every developer on the project needs a shared vision of what "better" means. For example, the parent comment mentions React components that manipulate global variables. First of all, everyone agrees to stop doing that, and agrees on the alternative (use props, a redux store, whatever).

But you don't stop the world and rewrite to the new standard. Instead, you apply a strong "boy scout rule" to every code change. If a developer modifies a small component, they also need to remove the global references. If the existing component is large, the developer must extract a smaller one, and the new extracted component must meet the new standard.

This will slow your velocity - at first, by a lot. But you never stop delivering entirely. You never waste time rewriting things that you would never touch again anyway. You also learn along the way - because while "don't use globals" is pretty universal, most architectural decisions are not. You will find that the "clean new standard" changes to match your application. At the same time, everyone on the team learns about the new standard, and buys in to the new way of doing things. There isn't a "new system" with the cool kids, while the B-team strings along the old one and waits to be laid off.

> but fortunately for their audience is sticky and belongs to them personally not to the television network

That's maybe half correct at best. Jay Leno could only take a small portion of his audience with him from the Tonight Show, if he chose to set up a competitor show. The same is currently true about Fallon, and likely far worse in his case today. Conan could never match his audience potential as host of the Tonight Show (pretty much no matter what he does, and certainly not on cable at TBS), because of the value of that specific platform, built up over decades and given its prominence on NBC.

A very large share of the Tonight Show audience, stays with the Tonight Show, regardless of host (barring the next Johnny Carson abandoning the show, or a truly horrendous product implosion at the current show). That audience largely belongs to Comcast NBC.

If Jimmy Kimmel leaves ABC, he would be replaced. Kimmel would struggle given the limited options, ABC would simply plop the next Kimmel into his spot and move on, with a large percentage of the same audience giving the next person a try.

Craig Ferguson's audience did not go with him, as another example.

> What does this mean exactly?

Pure DD are the Due Diligence details of an acquisition (cashflow projections, product roadmap, receipts/debts, IP value, employees) . If you are buying on those details (e.g. what the company says about their own views of the market/products/customers/suppliers) without looking more broadly (e.g. macro tech or econ etc) outside of what the company selling that business (and for whatever reason doesn't want it) believes then you're in a fools game. Not only are they incentivized to sell you on the highest price with cherry picked numbers/concepts, but they are the VERY MBAs who couldn't make that business work. They are looking for a fool too, and you better know why they think they're doing better than you!

I assume you know this since you're in the DD business for the long haul, but there are plenty of people who "just want to get the deal done", because that's how they get paid, ABC (always be closing).

>Which implies they aren't just looking at quarterly performance....

In contrast to saying that smart money was looking at quarterly performance (only the poor CFOs and retail investors do that), you will see my reference to supplier/customer pipelines, as well as, HFT. So yes, smart money has priced FANG as monopolies, which is a much larger view than quarterly revenue/profits and likely influenced more by private insight than public announcements.

This bit is especially infuriating for me, as there seems to be a High Sierra issue with Chrome and videos (for me, at least - it's hard to figure out how widespread it is). They cause massive browser lag when they're on a page for me, to the point of missed characters while typing.

I'll be honest and say I don't believe you, because there's only three likely scenarios in my mind if you're telling the truth:

1) You are extremely smart, much more brilliant than people working at larger funds

2) You got extremely lucky with your strategy

3) Neither of these, it's actually "just that easy" to make money with these trading strategies

None of these even approach the likelihood of it not being true... sorry. I don't mean to be negative, it's just, to me seems very dangerous to preach "you can make money in the market, too!" and anyone, in my experience, who says that has something to sell :)
If some rich and complex learning material doesn't immediately 'click', that doesn't mean it is ineffective. You might just be laying the groundwork to understanding those complex ideas later, for example when they are connected to other ideas or when the motivation to learn surfaces. Learning is sometimes too focused on 'understanding' and immediate results, while often very puzzled faces and proclamations of non-understanding are the best indication that real learning is going on.

That is the theory. The real world however can be very messy. More than two years ago Khan Academy measured how this would work for them - http://engineering.khanacademy.org/posts/js-packaging-http2.... - here was their summary:

> The reality is not so rosy. Due to degraded compression performance, the size of the data download with individual source files ends up being higher than with packages, despite having achieved 'no wasted bytes'. Likewise, the promised download efficiency has yet to show up in the wild, at least for us. It seems that, for the moment at least, JavaScript packaging is here to stay.

My personal experience has been you have to confirm the theory of how HTTP/2 related changes will perform with actual measurements. I've seen some pages get faster in HTTP/2 by no longer bundling, and in other cases seen then become slower. So far the only way to know for sure is to measure the result.
Well you're looking at this in a very saccharine light. Have you been following the discussion leading up to this? There have been very pointed questions about how truly independent the coalition for better ads is. There's questions about and advertising company blocking advertisements from other companies. There's questions about the layer of the browser this was added to. There's questions about even what the better ads coalition purports to do!

Can the coalition truly be independent when their only active enforcer is a member? Would that coalition defy that one member ever?

Under what circumstances will other sites and advertisers learn of updates to ads? Will that policy remain? Will google always have a head start?

What of ads and scripts designed to track and de-anonymize you? What of ads that consume huge amounts of bandwidth passively while not otherwise being annoying? These policies seem directed only at the aesthetic of the web.

And really, it remains to be seen if our long term interests are in line with googles, if you asked me, I'd very much say no.
