I have thought about building this so many times. I think there is a need for it, particularly for non-technical teams where processes don't evolve that fast, but adoption will be hard to ignite.
It's almost never the case. The way welfare works is kind of...buggy.

You accept a job, do it for a couple of days, and that's it.
Communism is not about the "power of labor." Communism is about taking the individual and beating him into the mud until they are a bloody pulp, unable and unwilling to ever resist again. It is the ultimate conformity at the point of a gun.

And I find it increasingly alarming that young people don't understand what I just said. I also think that it is very illuminating that China, the giant human anthill, expresses every single abuse that the Industrial Revolution revealed to the world--you know, the very behaviors that Marx and Engels were so angry about?
2. Being right is overrated.

So true. Something I took a long time to learn. Everyone's perspective is different so be more empathetic to it and maybe you'll find you're not right after all.

I’m a lazy person when it comes to updating the OS and apps, but let me update both and get back to you.
I take offense on the "stupid, meaningless puzzles". I don't agree with their use in interviews, but that's needless bashing.

You not liking them doesn't make them stupid.
Plenty of people cite papers they haven’t read, or are not available digitally. They often cite it because some other paper does, or they only read the abstract.
> For most open source stuff, Windows has less support...because it usually requires tweaks.

That's not true at all. The Macintosh OS easily requires more tweaks than Windows to do things like Python, Go, Node.js and Rust.

Everything is better on Windows.
Sitting here, in your chair, you can definitely do this no problem, right? So find a group of people who will simulate the interview environment for you.

Also, there are strategies for managing the time problem. 20 minutes is a bit fast for understand => ask questions => implement => test on this problem. But you can organize the code so that if you run out of time it's still clear you knew how to solve the problem and can code your way out of a wet paper bag. E.g., I would pass an answer that got everything correct but didn't get around to implementing isPalindrome() or isSoCS() before the 20 minutes was up, especially if the candidate could give a ~1 minute description of how to implement those functions. (I would also give more than 20 minutes.)
Nice analysis. Just thinking of it intuitively, the cell phone transmitter has to send data several km, whereas the bluetooth only has to transmit a few meters. Couple that with the inverse square law, and a bluetooth headset sounds much lower power.
Is the theory that space-time is infinitely large, or also that there is an infinite amount of matter/energy within it?

I agree. One of the consistently recurring types of jabs at blockchain from the HN crowd is to lampoon the fact that it is just an 'append-only' database. Then i realized that while they are right, the naysayers fail to appreciate how fucking amazing that is. PoW gave us the first append-only database worth its salt. That gives us a form of digital history that computers can interface with directly. Tubes and wires man!

Hi! Software engineer here, who left in his 30s. Mostly do a mix of product management and project management (for software companies) now. I still code, but at home as a hobby, and it’s by far my best work (code I’m most proud of). I’d love to go back to coding for a living but 1. Job market realities are contrary to that and 2. Most companies do not offer an upward career track as an individual engineer.
Most universities have interlibrary loan departments to obtain items outside of the university's holdings. This route would be slower, but it is legal and I suspect a publisher would have a hard time proving in court that someone downloaded an article on Sci-Hub rather than used their interlibrary loan service. Maybe they could get the interlibrary loan request records and check that, but I do not suspect libraries would hand those records out without good reason. And I think that is far more effort than your average publisher would be willing to put in.

Plus, as the other commenter said, citing a paper unfortunately does not mean that someone has a copy of it.
That price point needs to come way down. Yubico thinks they're competing with established HSM vendors, but they're really competing with their own products. If I have a small business and am considering a hackish YubiKey-as-HSM for $40, it may be worth it to spend around $100 on an officially supported YubiHSM instead.
> To have Chinese engineers in China, Brazilian in Brazil and Mexicans in Mexico is NOT diversity. That is the contrary of diversity. That is to have homogeneous teams.

.vi is controlled directly by residents of the US Virgin Islands. The primary contact address is on St. Thomas, and the NIC follows some pretty restrictive domain naming rules to favor the residents of the US Virgin Islands. It's run by the local telecom and presumably all money generated from .vi revenue goes to the island economies.

That is much closer to the ccTLD original intent than any of the British territories have seen (.io, .vg, etc). It's not misleading to suggest that the territory control their own ccTLD's destiny, given that was the original presumption of the early IETF and many of the original NICs.

Of course it's not a "natural" resource as a digital artifact of the internet economy, but that doesn't mean the ccTLDs weren't intended to be a resource to a specific locality, and that that specific locality shouldn't most control or best benefit when that ccTLD is exploited by foreign interests find a different use/meaning/domain-hacks for that TLD.

I'm not sure what the origin of "patent troll" is, but common sources (e.g. Wikipedia) certainly don't say it's limited to non-practicing entities.

Patent trolling is an attempt to secure patents for the purposes of making money via lawsuits or licenses far in excess of the patent's actual value, using the threat of legal costs or hefty infringement penalties. This is particularly true when the patented trait is incidental, over-general, or simply granted in error.

So where does Nikola Motors fall?

- They use the patented techniques, and those features are not clearly incidental to the product.

But...

- Their suit claims 'damages' which are a large fraction of their company's lifetime revenue, and presumably an order of magnitude above their lifetime profits.

- A quick check of the side door patent shows that extremely similar products predate the D816,004 patent by quite a lot. The line between "already exists" and "is not a non-obvious advance on what exists" is sometimes fuzzy, but it's not clear why this patent was granted.

So yes - it's a suit conducted to make money in its own right rather than prevent use, claiming unrealistic damages for a dubious patent. By most usage, that makes it patent trolling even if you make products as well.

Meetings are usually a poor way to gather information. I really wish people would send me a well thought out email with clear questions before they fall back on bringing everything to a grinding halt so they can talk in person.
For the past few weeks, I've been digging into a codebase that is legendary among my team for its complexity. While I have disagreements over some architectural choices, the biggest pain point has been the lack of documentation: when I look up the JIRA story referenced in the git commit, it's often a 4-pointer (the highest value we use before we break stories up) with no context. I found one story that had EIGHT pull requests linked to it, and all that was documented was "modify {entity}".

This code base is not even two years old, and I'm already concerned about its long-term viability. The colleagues that worked on it are extremely helpful, but details are fading from their memories over time. Its one saving grace is the fairly extensive test suite, so at least I have some degree of confidence that I won't be breaking things whenever I look at it the wrong way.

If you don't know what to do with it, don't do anything. Later, when you know what to do with it, you can do it. To put it another way, right now, you have insufficient information to make an informed decision. You'll have more information later, and if you don't spend the money now, $100k to put behind that informed decision.

> A person who has 10+ years of experience (be it programming, business or anything else that this person has done before) under their belt is likely to have their own opinions about how things are done. They will either suggest their own ideas (which may be incompatible with the rest of the team’s view and engage in arguments that distract the management’s attention from other issues)

I sure hope so. Unless you're hiring for ditch digging or some other menial position, experience is essential because that person will likely have a better understanding of how to approach problems across various domains. Granted, different positions do have different requirements for expertise.

> or, on the contrary, if they had a bad experience suggesting their own ideas, be apathetic and do their job mechanically adding little to the group’s discussion.

This could be a legitimate complaint, but I don't see how a novice know-it-all would behave any better.

> Also, if a person has been doing their job for many years, the employer can have a more or less definite idea of what kind of output they can expect from him or her.

I don't see a downside to that.

> Sure, a person with a 10-year experience has a lower chance of being a non-performer, but you also have a much lower chance of discovering a rising star.

Ah, the chance of missing out on that low cost programming ninja. No matter how good the rising star could be, if you need someone with experience, you're better off hiring someone with experience. If you're hiring for a junior position, sure, take a chance.
This is akin to store brands by other retailers. Most store brands aren't specialized, they're generic and offer the consumer decent quality at a fair price. This forces brands to differentiate themselves in some way. This is a good thing in my opinion because it seems to weed out poor quality products.

For commodity items like sugar and salt where differentiation is nonexistent, it doesn't make sense to pay a 100% premium for different packaging.

I'm not interested in it personally, but wanted to give you a heads up :) The only thing I can suggest to you is design related: make news and category titles less alike. Besides that, you might want to do "friend-to-friend" feedback gathering and SEO for this kind of stuff.
What resources are you using to find jobs and where geographically are you looking for jobs? I started looking a couple of weeks ago and found AngelList to be a lot better than Hacker news job postings, YMMV.

I thought it was kind of silly but have you tried practicing on hackerrank or leetcode for the coding tests? Hackerrank feels pretty brittle but a lot of companies use it for timed screening so good to get a feel for the platform's ability to lose all your work in a non pressure situation, leetcode has very useful discussions about user supplied solutions.
I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I think we didn't fully appreciate how much the 'social' aspect of the show was more important than the 'education' we provided. We de-epmhesized the after show social hours and other parties, and instead focused on marketing the education factor, and gradually the fun left the show along with the people. But that's my personal opinion.

It may well be slower, but how is it not scalable? You can always add more servers, or more Yubikey devices.

In any case, I would expect any slowdown to be simply because the Yubikey is slower at doing cryptographic operations, not because of any overhead associated with USB. On my system, generating a 4096-bit RSA signature with OpenSSH takes about 4ms, whereas a bit of googling suggests a no-op USB round-trip is on the order of 200us.
We work quite closely with the team in Europe so usually all meetings are in the morning and afternoons are always free. Its a great way to work. The suggested having days on and days off I've learned leaves the problem that its often impossible to code 10 hrs straight. Having blocks each day is my preference.
Totally agree about the hand-wringing. While it’s good to minimize interruptions however makes sense, they’re going to happen and they’re going to be more frequent the more senior you are. That’s part of the challenge of the job, remaining productive despite those interruptions.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to say GRN is "computationally similar" to neural networks. That seems to be a shoehorn of the most popular technology of one field into another field.

Just because the GRN contains feedback loops with multiple influences doesn't mean it's suited to NN computation. The GRN is orders of magnitude more complex than computational NNs and it is orders of magnitude slower than signal transduction of axons.

I agree it will be awesome to be able to harness molecular machinery to "do stuff" for us. The "nanotechnology" in our bodies is way beyond any current manufactured nanotechnology.

We currently have only crude control of the cellular functionality -- think point a wind up toy in the direction we want or modify it by taping a flashlight to the top. We are pretty far from being able to use the manufacturing equipment to make cars instead of windup toys. (Not to mention the manufacturer is already making rockets)

Sometimes you don't get the choice. My C++ compiler is saddled with a pre-98 standard lib with everything exposed outside of the (non-existent) std namespace. Templates and exceptions are disabled. No STL, No RAII. Can't code like it's 2017 when you're doing it 1980's style.
can confirm: that's definitely one of the features of this product.
I usually find adhoc interruptions are due to someone being blocked and spending 5 minutes with them can really turn their next few hours around. It's good for the team as a whole. Meetings on the other hand are minimum 30 minutes and usually involve half a dozen people. The bang for buck on interruptions is way higher than meetings.

At my current job I have about 10-15 meetings every week, and I'm an IC. It drives me crazy. I feel like I have to fight tooth and nail to get time to work on the project I'm assigned to.

That's a good start to having "your own" network, and then you can choose to have packets traverse your network or the peering networks. You could shift egress points around, based on cost and other factors as well. Each link you add can multiply your routing options.

Get large enough, and you can start carrying other traffic too, and eventually start buying/laying fiber. But you know this, it's probably part of your business plan.

This reminds me of the kind of magical thinking that people like Aristotle used. Why should the universe be easy or hard for you to accept? Why is it important that these numbers "come from somewhere" or be determined by something?
