To clarify, my statement is true for every engineer who goes through the Triplebyte technical interview in our regular process, i.e. to get matched to jobs at the companies we work with.

Can you expand on that? I switched from Chrome to Firefox a few years ago and I've been very happy with that decision.

Crows will pack hunt rats. I didn’t know they did this until I watched it happen this year. One would peck at it from behind; the rat would squeak and whip around; next crow would hop in and peck it from behind. Rinse, spin, repeat a few times and in 5 minutes or so they were picking meat off the rat.

All I could think watching this, was that I was watching a literal murder of crows.

> For an embedding to work there must be some legitimate relationship to be teased out.

There is most definitely a relationship between candidate skills, job requirements, and interview result/job performance.

The point is to get rid of all these bullshit subjective excuses when people fail an interview/get fired. The answer is simple: they likely weren't good enough. But no one likes hearing that.
While true they can access a phone based on the user opting in, there's likely a high degree of "security" around how and when this can occur including the necessity of a user opting in.

Tim Cook has taken a very public stance on privacy and the addition of police-unfriendly encryption of data. So, there's much to lose if news were to come out undermining that position.

He probably would not be going so far out on a limb personally if the reality of the privacy/security/encryption were just for PR. His integrity is dependent on that position being true.

Slowing things down for political purposes in entirely another matter, and well within the realm of probability.
That is your opinion, and you are free to it.

However at this point "racists" organized and wound up controlling Congress, the Senate, the Presidency and the Supreme Court. The people that you'd like to ignore are currently running the place. Ignoring them might not be the best idea...
This can be shortened to "If you ICO then it's already game over"

ICO anything is a really strong signal that nothing good can come of whatever you are reading.
People talking about politics always try to make their opponents appear unreasonable. You surely can't be complaining about normal people grouping together and promoting the ideas they believe in, can you? The alternative would be censorship of all political dissent, and suppression of citizens talking about opposition political parties. It would be non-democracy.

Your last paragraph about science could be about all sorts of groups but it sounds like you have your personal political enemy in mind. You could be describing Muslims who are opposed to science's revelation that women are as smart as men. Or it could be about liberals who are opposed to science's revelation that the smartest men are smarter than the smartest women (male IQ has a higher standard deviation than female). Or is about feminists who are trying to suppress science that shows that women aren't as hard-working as men? Or is it about transgender activists who are trying to suppress science showing that women are not men? I wouldn't want to censor any of these people. Who am I to say what the one true truth really is for all time? Even science doesn't know that.

What I really think the GP meant, but didn't say because when you actually write it down, it sounds ridiculous, was a conspiracy theory like "Putin wants to destroy America so he supported fake news to get Trump elected and since Trump is obviously bad, he'll destroy America.". As far as I can tell, that's what the opposition to fake news is all about - Trump winning the election. That's certainly when it started anyway.

But SF actually doesn't need that policy. Everyone was leaving NYC pre Giuliani because it was a hellhole that was completely undesirable to be in. After NYC became gentrified and the crime went away the city began regaining its population.

SF doesn't have this problem, despite all the dysfunction, homeless, and small time crime (it's no where close to being as dangerous as NYC in the 1980s) people have a strong desire to live here. No one is going to bring in a broken window policy because it doesn't matter to the people living here right now. There's still high demand, locals are making money if they got in when it was right. It doesn't matter.

In their eyes there technically isn't a problem, the problem is for people who aren't on rent control and who moved here from other places. The locals here don't really care about that because they know if you leave someone is going to replace you. It's also easy for them to point the blame on new industry for causing homelessness not lack of new development. I don't see things changing.
Thanks Seth! Questions, anyone?
I feel like this is unfortunate. Github has a giant user-based, and using github would be a great way to reduce the friction of having first-time contributors submit a pull-request.

In my case, if KiCAD were hosted on github, I would have already contributed by now.

I think its a shame that more of these projects don't adopt a strategy of "let's try github, and if they screw us over, then we'll migrate to a platform with more freedom".

And yet -- ones complement arithmetic is not even the oddest thing about Univac 1100s.

Definitely. So much of cryptocurrency world seems hell-bent on rediscovering why current financial regulation exists.

At one point in US history, it was relatively easy to create a bank, and the banks could issue their own private currencies:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcat_banking

This provided relatively little value and quite a lot of failure, so it was taken as a "let's never do that again" lesson.

The Etherium fork after the DAO theft was in my view people rediscovering the value of having a regulator.

Given the regular and massive losses due to breakins, scams, and fraud, I have to wonder if this is the most efficient way to learn these lessons.
And a systematic attempt by the President & company to discredit a city that has nearly universally rejected his policies.
Preferential attachment, power laws, rich-get-richer, winner-takes-all is just math. Life (fortune, luck) is intrinsically unfair.

Explaining reality is not a moral statement.

Ignoring reality, or worse rationalizing it, is immoral.

Happily, thru the arc of humanity history, numerous societies have chosen to mitigate the unfairness. Some proven strategies are expanding the franchise (enfranchisement), redistributing windfall profits, debt jubilees, jobs programs, social safety nets.
Happy to chat with you about this. I've been through 4 IVFs and have severe male factor infertility, so sadly I know this space all too well. Mens market is trickier - the existing method for home testing for men is too clunky. You need to produce a sperm sample into.. a test tube. Then put it in warm water. Then wait. This is too dirty and too much work.

There is a roundabout way to do this without a sperm sample. Pen prick, blood in a container, ship it out to a lab and then do a karyotype test on it. That'll pick up around 50% of infertility cases. To cover the rest, you'll need to do a sperm test. Also, the 'hook' that gets men in has to be more than just 'check your sperm count'. Men mostly couldn't care less about their sperm count. Something like 'check if you're at risk of passing on a rare blood disease' is a much better hook.
It is a two part problem. The first part is money. City budgets are tiny compared to state budgets which are tiny compared to the federal budgets. The second part is the ease of moving between cities. If any city sets up a program that is truly fantastic for poor individuals, poor people from neighboring areas will move their and overload the program. Combine these two and it is hard to create large scale programs on the city or even state level.
we're coming after SNI too. One step at a time.

(also, 1] dns leaks are worse than sni leaks as typically more people are exposed to the dns query and 2] HTTP/2 can carry more than one hostname on a connection so some hostnames that appear in dns are never leaked through sni.)
Labor does not mean only people but the cost of assembly.
Robots aren’t free they need to be maintained by highly skilled and in the current market also highly paid workers and theya aren’t free to run either.
They have expensive consumeables and they need to undergo constant maintenance for even basic things as maintaining their zero.
Only VPN apps doing regular VPNs are allowed, obviously they have a performance impact, but that’s necessary for what they do. Anything using a VPN to implement other behaviour is not. Apps get judged on usability when it comes to system level concepts like VPNs all the time - keyboards are an example where there’s a lot more review for usability and “playing nicely”.
Really any algorithm book should cover these (excluding hash table optimizations). The Sedgewick book is often recommended as a good starter book, though I'm not sure how much of what I said is explicitly covered, it's been a while since I read it.

The array vs. linked list thing is sort of just knowledge you pick up, I suppose? Linked lists have their place, just fairly rarely. For a more in depth listing of the pros and cons, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/393556/when-to-use-a-lin... is a good discussion. I consider use cases for linked lists to be rather niche (if someone comes in and mentions the kernel - that is niche). a & b are both basically on embedded systems (real time or low memory), c is rare outside of, well, queues and stacks, which are better in arrays anyway, and d is reasonable but with a bad example (a heap-based priority queue is better - and your heap should be array backed). They're flexible and easy but rarely the best solution.

The union-find thing should be fairly standard. I mean, the optimizations are on the wiki page for union find. Pretty sure Sedgewick and online course cover those optimizations too. Adding those optimizations is equivalent from transforming a naive binary search tree into AVL or a Red-Black tree, which is a pretty huge improvement.

The hashtable stuff I learned mostly from lurking here on HN. ;)
Technically. But

1) Your "templates" look like this:

React.createElement(
"div",
null,
React.createElement(MyComponent, null),
React.createElement(
"ul",
null,
React.createElement(
"li",
null,
"Thing 1"
),
React.createElement(
"li",
null,
"Thing 2"
),
React.createElement(
"li",
null,
"Thing 3"
)
)
)

2) Since things like decent state management don't come in the box, you're almost forced to start including other modules, which pushes you back towards a build system.

Of course it's an over-simplification, but you don't think there's a legitimate relationship between the two?
Mark Leno, London Breed, Jane Kim, and Angela Alioto each propose an approach to "homelessness" and an approach to "insane rents/house prices." They are separate issues. No one of any consequence is debating giving million-dollar houses to the homeless.
Nonsense. Where are you getting your stats from?
The JOBS act was a push towards securitized crowdfunding but it had too many strings and never took off like many hoped. ICO's are proof that there is demand for real-time trading in private companies with micro-investment, but it also has obvious issues.

My hope is securitized-ICO's develop that make it easier to raise money from a global pool of investors, and the investors also have liquidity and legal rights. We need regulation that improves the situation without destroying it.

I hate to say it but first that sounds highly too stubborn that I wanna say it sounds incompetent. Secondly there's still room to rename and if they want it to go anywhere sooner is bettee than later. Call is Weasel for all anyone cares (yeah I know IceWeasel... But still better than flat out WAMP). The worse part is some people might completely dislike WAMP altogether given some Unix only devs out there and might never see this due to poor naming.
You'll get no argument on that from me. The way he phrased it though made it sound like this has happened in the past, and I was curious.

You are right, and that's why diversity of revenue is a good thing. If tomorrow Office and Windows drop revenue by half, Microsoft as a whole wont drop revenue by half, and I guess that's the main point the pie chart is making.

But I also agree with you that the Pie Chart might not be completely accurate and might be oversimplifying the situation, but I think there's no denying Microsoft is one of the most diversified tech company out there in term of revenue.
I also don't think this is the place for trying to shut down the conversation based on who is associated with a word or phrase used. If there's something wrong with it's use in this context, "debt" should make that case, rather than trying to police the language.

I don't see how you can use a retroreflector as one end of a laser cavity. They destroy coherence, since the path length is different depending on where each photon hits the reflective element. Don't lasing mediums require fairly coherent photons for stimulated emission to work?

Every single healthcare bill proposed in Congress last year that was voted on was a bill to remove healthcare options from people. There wasn't a single bill proposing a government controlled healthcare system that would end the insane mess of profiting off other people's misery and death. There was even disagreement on extending healthcare funding for children through CHIP. Even the measly Medicaid expansion was fought against a few years back. I can only conclude that the people who elect these politicians are so hateful, they'd rather children and others die than spend money on their healthcare. That's some incredible fucking hate.
I love what you're doing, but a piece of advice - please don't oversell and mislead women by suggesting you can tell them 'how many eggs they have' (text taken from your home page).

What you're missing is that Tesla does not want to be a Mazda, nor a Ford, nor even a Toyota. They want to be an industrial behemoth that powers every part of the carbon-free economy. They want to be a GM, GE, ConEd, Exxon and Uber rolled into one. This is not some bizzare internet conspiracy, this has been stated in plain English multiple times and has been voted on by their board.

Now, you might think that's too risky, too ambitious, or they'll never be able to execute etc. Whatever. But you can't judge them based on your own made-up ideas and standards.
Theory 1: It’s because Russia, a market with a very small iOS user base, can pressure Apple into doing what it wants.

Theory 2: It’s because Telegram raised more than a billion dollars for a virtual currency that does an end-run around Apple’s in-app payments.

Based on Apple’s past actions, which one is more likely?
It took a legitimate actor six months as he underwent EV certification. Even if the primary goal didn't get met, there's still the secondary goal of having problematic publishers officially blocked by cert revocation.

Also, users DO get the app from the publisher in this case. Windows provides SmartScreen, the developer provided the binary and signature (and was on his own as to how to get it)
I’ve had SSSS on my boarding pass multiple times when flying to the US. At Stockholm and Copenhagen they will take you out of line at the extra check at the gate (post security), to do another GC check of your luggage. Swedish airport security typically would also take my passport away until after the check. Amsterdam has a central area for this with Delta, after which they tell you the real gate (which is not on the monitors). United is again at the gate.
Also: on days that I would get SSSS’d, mobile and self-service check-in would not work, forcing me to get the pass at the counter.

Flights not to the US, even if outside the EU don’t have these checks.

Honestly, If I would have something to hide, the SSSS on my pass would give me ample warning to just leave the airport again.

Globalization is a one way street with the implicit assumption that we are at the top of the food chain and make all the progress, innovation and rules.

The 'insignificant other' crashing this party leads to all sorts of dissonance visible in every comment thread on any kind of progress in non-western countries.

This is intrinsically tied to identity so when people say we are in a global world its a very superficial construct hiding some dangerous truths for the naive and uninformed.
