The question, to me, means "why should we hire you over this other equally qualified candidate?".

In that context, even if they know everything about you - that you've made public to them - there still might be some unique unknown standout reason why they should choose you over the other person.

Having an attitude about that would be an immediate disqualifier.
It would be subject to local wireless spectrum control.

So like for your example it would have to sell to Chinese customers illegally if it wasn't going to comply with their censorship regulations. Which the Chinese government could then do a lot to fight.

So basically no, satellite internet is unlikely to have any impact on censorship.
I was told the upgrade would take ~1 hour in a local service center.
Other than repeating phrases like AI, Deep Learning, and Blockchain, it’s really thin on how a public ledger is going to achieve any of this.

Therefore, GliaLab is proud to announce that we are building GliaBase, a global diagnostic healthcare platform utilizing AI and blockchain technology to provide users with universal and safe remote access to next-gen diagnostic tools and advice. Essentially, it is a platform powered by deep learning algorithms where users have access to top-tier diagnostic tools and healthcare information related to different diseases.

Yeeeaaaaah. How? There’s a lot of back-patting, some “imagine a world...” and just a dash of “Patients will... doctors will...” and zero specifics. Weasel words like “essentially” in front of a pat and low-content description of the actual platform also raises alarm bells for me.

This reeks.

Went to their site, and it seems the magic ingredient is that this is another ICO, complete with flashy splash page, and all of the usual red flags. They’re selling 30,000,000 GLIA (Gliatokens) which they assure you is a utility token. For something they haven’t built yet. The SEC is not going to be amused.

They suck. I've flown in a Cessna with a touchscreen transponder, and it was nearly impossible to enter the required four-number code in light turbulence.

edit: That said, you could probably make a decent aviation touchscreen. The main issue with off-the-shelf screens is it's easy to brush the wrong thing. A screen that takes significant pressure to register a touch would probably be usable, and for all I know this system might do that.
Conversely, I am happy to have existed during the tiny slice of history between the internet being invented and governments and corporations figuring out how useful it is and controlling it for their own purposes.

Where did you get that information? The last article I read (I believe TechCrunch) said the latency would be somewhat slower then cable (which isn't bad).

You don’t need any theory about infinity, hierarchical or otherwise, to get Fourier transforms working. Everything can be done using approximations with bounded error in finite steps. It’s just a pain in the butt to write proofs that way.

(And indeed, in practice, we can’t perform any infinite processes when we are computing Fourier transforms of real data, in either analog or digital systems. All real-world systems are based on approximations and imperfect models, full of measurement error, bugs in edge cases, etc.)

You have a very strange definition of “real”... or rather, it’s like the use in “real numbers” (i.e. a pure thought experiment / set of abstract manipulations of an abstract formal system with no physical embodiment), not the use in “physical reality”.

Every mathematical use of completed infinities inherently involves “mysticism”, and you seem to have embraced the absolution you mentioned. [Which is fine... accepting Cantor’s paradise on faith and not worrying about whether it is “real” or not has been very productive for mathematics, whether or not most of the same results could have been found in a more cumbersome way otherwise.]
The downvotes are unfortunate, since this is a reasonable sentiment, here's an article I read a while ago that presented this point in a more nuanced fashion:

Those were 2 separate thoughts. I was not conflating tooling with libraries. And I'm still amazed that you seem to think tooling would be a main selling point or 'core strength' for it.

Funny how all the responses here are so offended when that's a perfectly reasonable question at a career fair sort of event for someone fresh out of college.

The answer is also very easy. "I'm just out of college, so I work for entry level wages. I don't have bad habits to unlearn yet. I studied x, y, and z which are specifically related to this job opening."

Three things. Cheap, clean slate, hit the ground stumbling as opposed to falling on your face. You might also mention your attendance record and punctuality if that's something to brag about.

The last computer I built required soldering and Digi-Key. As I found out after lots of trial and error, I got a bad molex-to-sata power adapter, and it took killing two hard drives before I narrowed it down to that cable. The SATA end was too narrow to get a multimeter in. I suspect the 12v and 5v lines were crossed.

Long story short, a couple of resistors and diodes later my WD Blues were spinning up again, but it was a pain in the ass.

People aren't perfect, and some are terrible, so it makes sense to have government. However, it is reasonable to be critical of government removing your rights to work. Actually, it is a civil duty. I am not sure where the line should be drawn, but it has certainly gone too far. Should you need gov approval to download an IDE, or sell an app? What about to braid hair?[1]

I would bet that as soon as government begins infringing on the rights to work which affect HN usere, suddenly everyone here would be a civil libertarian.

Signed up to MFP yesterday to test it out. Immediately noticed they don't use https (though the login forms appear to be submitted over https).

I thought to myself - on the face of it they don't seem to hot on security, I wonder how long it will be before they get hacked or something?

Well, I wasn't expecting less than 24 hours.
Honestly I find this question weird and creepy. I think that must be because it breaches some psychological boundary. I've never asked it as an interviewer and never been asked it as a candidate. Perhaps someone has been watching too much "The Apprentice"?

That said I'm not sure what I'd recommend. Tempted to say I'd terminate the interview but that also feels weird and creepy. Perhaps just chuckle playfully and hope they don't press for an answer?

Onion Inc. has unionized
The movie is organized around the narrative of Ray Kroc taking advantage of the McDonald brothers, and ends with Franchise Corporation screwing them out of royalties that would have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars by reneging on a handshake deal.

But that deal apparently never happened! Not only that, but the McDonald brothers demanded a lump sum payment and rejected an installment, the closest thing in the real story to royalties.
> I’d say the industry norm is that they care about money above all else. It’s the moviegoers who care about entertainment above all else.

I'd say the moviegoers have been like that for long enough that the industry norm really is "entertainment above all", not "whatever the audience wants, and it might or might not be entertainment". If audiences suddenly shifted to wanting historical accuracy, I think a lot of people currently in the industry would fall out of it and get replaced by people with "historical accuracy" values. I don't think current moviemakers would just seamlessly switch values.

> It's bad enough that more college students see 'being very well off financially' as a more important goal than helping others (compared to other generations)

I'd bet that this is largely because college students now graduate with tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt, and getting an entry level job out of college is harder than it's ever been. When you're struggling simply to stay float, you tend to be more concerned with your own well being than that of others.
I put up a post today called "Redux - Not Dead Yet!" [0], where I responded to recent comments claiming that the new context API will replace Redux. (Answer: maybe, if all you need is just passing down data to deeply nested components.)

As for the "boilerplate" topic: you are encouraged to use as little or as much abstraction on top of Redux as you want, whether it be small utility functions or entire other frameworks that wrap Redux. We've got a "Reducing Boilerplate" page in the docs [1], and I've got a section of my React/Redux links list for articles on that topic [2].

I'd be happy to suggest possible solutions for whatever problems you're concerned about.

I understand that bootstrapping the database is probably the hardest part, but I haven't been so confident in MyFitnessPal's database anyways. It seems crowdsourced without much quality control and it is hard to trust. There is also the "too much specificity" problem. I don't always want to choose a certain restaurant's version of a food item when I could probably have a decent first pass at the nutrient levels using a generic version of the food item.

It's more objective than you'd think from the domain name, which refers to a book and not to the estate of Ray and Joan Kroc. The author is a journalist, and if she has an affinity to any of the characters in this story, it's to Joan Kroc, who is central neither to the movie nor to the fact-checking on this page.
The technical tests being given to people with experience was long ago the initial shot in adversarial hiring. Tech hiring gets adversarial but it may be difficult to know before you take an interview with someone.

The original question is already a red flag. Now we're just taking jabs at each other. Especially if this is an interview after I've given you a technical test which probably represents the work better than any answer I could give to the question.
Physical UI affordances are extremely helpful anytime you need to interact with something in the cockpit and have your eyes on something else. The discrete click click of a radio knob lets you tune to a new frequency by counting the clicks. Having little handholds on the front bezels lets you steady your hand during turbulence as your finger hovers above a button. Different sized controls mean I can know without looking which one I’m grabbing. There are probably tons more examples—I’m not an avionics industrial designer.

I suppose with practice you could navigate a touchscreen without looking but I’m not even there with my phone.
Cool initiative, but please don't add music to the videos. It makes me nervous and unable to focus on you talking. Such a waste of otherwise great content.
>You mean Kickstarter, which has nothing to do with blockchain?

Blockchain is having all of the functionality (and more) of Kickstarter with 10-20x more reach. Also, explain how you would use kickstarter to crowd-fund a gold-backed digital currency without Blockchain?

>Says who? Both Bitcoin and Etherium have gone through forks of their chains

The whole point if a Blockchain is you can tell if it's been forked, and really forks are just the exception proving the rule of immutability. Meaningful forks have happened a handful of times and they've been
heavily publicized. How many times has a bank issued a chargeback?

I'm 34, and I don't care. I also tend to walk around naked, without much care if someone spots me through a window - though I try not to obviously flash the neighbors through the kitchen window, which is the only real direct easy sightline.

I used to be really insecure about being nude - I requested, and got permission to, change somewhere besides the locker room in middle school - but I think I don't care anymore, and I don't really know when this change came about.

There is cannabis very high in THC, but low in CBD (those are generally the sativa, makes one high) and there's cannabis high in CBD but low in THC (those are generally the indica, makes one stoned). Example source with info at Sensiseeds FAQ (English version) [1]. Quoting (just the effect difference):

"The effect of indica is generally classified as a ‘stone’, meaning that it is more centred on the body. Indicas may enhance physical sensations such as taste, touch and sound.

The indica effect is noted for being physically and mentally relaxing and it may be soporific in larger doses.

Despite their lower weight and potentially longer flowering time, sativas are valued by many growers for their ‘high’ effect.

This high may be characterised as cerebral, energetic, creative, giggly or even psychedelic. It is less overpowering than the indica ‘stone’, and less likely to send the user to sleep."

I think the lack of explicit programs is because the path is often "stick around long enough to have enough things you can point to that look similar in complexity / effort as other things people with the Senior title have done." If all those things require relatively little hand-holding then the solution is just progressively less and less hand-holding, often in the form of "toss them in the deep end and only go hold their hand once they ask for it". That has some negative incentive structure of course, but so do other suggestions proposed here...

Maybe instead focus the mentoring on becoming a better dev. Have them join your book club (or paper club, talk club, blog club, whatever) that you in theory already have going on where engineers at whatever levels get together and discuss a topic and how it can be applied to make them better engineers or have better team dynamics etc. Maybe do some applying exercises / experiments too.

The "junior" and "senior" distinction isn't very important beyond salary negotiation, and often the "needs guidance to excel" or "not fairly independent yet" criteria can be misleading too because it's somewhat sensitive to the work and work environment in question. If you really want to mentor a junior into a senior you just need to make them more like the what-does-this-company-mean-by-senior person, which might not correlate very well with good engineering at all and can differ quite dramatically from company to company.
Actually yes. I wasn't making it up. If you Google search on this you'll find lots of supporting evidence. The reason for the stupid questions is to be able to retrospectively take action based on incorrect answers being given.

I think that the best way to answer this is with a story. Explain that you (the recruiter) already know a lot about me by way of my (applicant's) application but this (story) is what you don't know about me and that it may be important. Make the story memorable and truthful. Make it something that couldn't have fit into the interview otherwise and end by saying that now you know a little bit more about my character and I hope it helps you remember me.

I suspect most newbies to building a PC wouldn't just go to the individual part list and start picking a processor. They'd go to the build guides(https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/) and look at builds in their price range. A bunch of the build guides on that site have start-to-finish youtube videos of the entire build as well.

Maybe that particular filter on that particular part isn't that easy to use but I think sites like this make building a PC extremely approachable, even for someone who has never built a PC before.
Here's a wild idea... They could disable transmit in these areas, but allow reception. Someone in a hostile area with access to an antenna could send one way messages up with useful info.
