My favorite interviews (both as the interviewer and interviewee) are the ones where I end up learning a lot from the other person. I love when a candidate mentions some technology I'm not familiar with, and then I get to make them teach me all about it.
Or - the easiest person to fool is yourself.
I have been using GitLab IDE in the past few months for documentation updates and it has been great. Whenever I see an outdated doc in the repo, I just click edit on the markdown file. It provides markdown preview and automatically creates patch-n branch and merge request for me without the need to touch my terminal. Super convenient.
Someone please shoot Javascript and put an end to this misery.
I haven't read very much of the answers, just enough to know that a lot of people are not exactly being supportive. I'm a little surprised, though perhaps I should not be, that with 164 comments, apparently no one has hooked you up with any of my websites:

But let me suggest that it sounds like you still have a little time. It is best to not end up on the street if you can avoid it.

Call 211. Find out what kinds of support are available locally.

Collect recyclables.

Start selling stuff. You probably can't take it all with you anyway. If it helps you make rent, awesome.

The Pocket Puter link includes a link to a Google Doc listing freelancing platforms. I'm having trouble accessing it from my phone, but one of the listings, probably towards the bottom, is for something with Moonlight in the name. It is a YC company. That might work better than Upwork.

Ignore whatever negativity you are getting here. The world is full of classist jerks who think it can't happen to them. It absolutely can happen to anyone.

In spite of all the good news about low unemployment currently, there are still a lot of systemic issues.

Best of luck.
Yes. And using a community to contain them or alert you.
Because being popular doesn't make you above the law. The comment is at best irrelevant, at worse morally noxious.
See, even GV can be duped into idiotic investments. Theranos couldn't trick them but Magic Leap sure did!
I just switched jobs in San Francisco, and part of my search was parental leave. I did not see any companies in the 6-12 month paid parental leave range.

6-20 weeks is the range I saw. Twitter at 20, Square (and I think Facebook) at 16, Google at 12, and most at 6.

I'm totally onboard with it being government funded instead of employer funded. I think tying it to salary (and what people pay in) makes sense, as many people are less likely to take it if it's significantly under their normal income.
The IG report wasn't on Russian collusion, it was on the Clinton email investigation.

The IG will also be looking at abuse of the FISA process:

No. They don't want to take power away from you. They want more people to use their platforms. That could mean selling enterprise cloud access, selling chromebooks, selling on-prem solutions, or selling more copies of sublime text.
I feel like StackBlitz beats all other Web IDEs since it's pretty much just VSCode in the Browser. The only one where TS code completion works and they can offer it very cheaply since the tech is so great that they don't even need to run a server to bundle anything. Just great! ATM it's only good for frontend apps though. My dream would be a combination of Cloud9 and the StackBlitz editor.
I think part of it too is that it's exploratory. Sometimes I use javascript to write music and as creative twists and turns happen the code folds in on itself in ugly ways that don't happen when solving a clearer problem

Compounded by the fact that in science once you have the result the code is probably just an artifact so there's no real reason to refactor it
What level was your wife? I hypothesize that the higher your level the more insulated you are from being mistreated. I've seen quite a few L5+ (Senior) go on maternity leave and come back seemingly without issue, but then again I don't know for sure.
Huh? You just give the ceos a psychopath exam.
They always say that because it sounds a lot better, and they have no problem with lying.
If you're a 10 person company and more than 7 people are day-to-day critical you're going to have a lot of issues.

When we were 8 people we had 2 parents go on 4 months of leave (with 3 month overlap). We missed them and vacation time was a little limited, but everything was fine.

Companies need to account for the fact that they're comprised of human beings that reproduce. In terms of humanity you can't get much more fundamental than reproduction.
At first I was excited about this. Then I tried it. There is no working set. Reloading the web page loses all changes.

This would have been a nice path to bring less technical folks into gitlab, say for writing articles and other copy. But I can already imagine the non-stop complaints about losing work.
Not only is there no network effect, but capital cost and cost of market entry is very low. Unless Bird's ultimate goal is to block competitors by lobbying cities or licensing to cities like some bike sharing companies do limiting competition, which is entirely possible.
This link doesn't say anything remotely like that.
If you work in an incestuous industry like tech, you will be blacklisted in many circles for going down this path.
The mantra in sales is that "no" really means "tell me more".

So I don't expect anyone in marketing and sales to consider this as anything other than a challenge to find new and more effective ways of getting their mail into people's inboxes.
I’ll just have to disagree. There’s a bit of a learning curve, and yes the React project is full of warnings, but Xcode has filters for that, and breakpoints work brilliantly. I guess I have a big advantage in having 6+ years of native iOS dev experience.
I'm not sure if 1/1000 is the right tradeoff. You can get 1/100000 for less than double the size.

As crazy as it sounds, it still is a clear choice.

It's a common trope in cartoons that the bad guys want the opposite - to destroy the world.

I think you make an important point though, and I have no good argument to it.

The best I can do is point out that having children does not fall on the responsibility of every woman. Not every woman needs to reproduce for society to continue.

So the question is, is it okay for people to judge others for their personal choices, even if it is societally necessary? I think there are countless examples where no one bats at an eye this category of discrimination - for some definition of necessary.
As a previous hiring manager, it's easy to getting stuck in the mindset that when you are doing shitty things for that faceless Corp that it isn't you doing that shitty thing, it's you doing what the Corp wants. It's hard to have the presence of mind to realize you are doing something for a entity that rarely is moral, but many times is amoral or even immoral
Yup, spot on. The meaning of "buscar" is really narrow, "discover the location of a thing", so even if the officer pointed at the car while saying "puedo buscar el auto", the only reasonable response would have been, "Huh? It's right here!"
>From the businesses. Paid paternal leave is already a legal mandate in just about every country. The US is very lacking in this regard.

Yes, and in those other countries, the vast portion of the cost (just like the cost of health insurance) is borne by the government, not the business.

For example, in the UK, 92% of the mandated parental leave costs are paid by the government (technically it's a refund but you can get an advance on it). Employers can (and often do) offer more if they wish.

Good lord OP don't rule yourself out before someone else does. Just apply. You need to apply to go on at least 4-5 interviews (and bomb some of them) before you get a hang of it anyway.

This could also be because one or more of your contacts (likely more) provided permission for the FB app to access their contacts/address book (and never revoked that permission, allowing Facebook to always have a current social graph) or were using pre-6.0 (Marshmallow) Android that didn't even have granular permissions requested at runtime (so apps could be installed only if the user accepted to provide all permissions that apps wanted, which for Facebook included contacts, photos, SMS and more).

No, a bilingual police officer (or other bilingual listener) would likely understand the intended meaning if someone else made this error (because they would know English and Spanish both well enough to see the likely translation-from-English error), but they would not be likely to make the error.
Your friends and family members shared their contacts. So they had friend -> your number. Then when you enter your number it can back step that to your friend. With just a few connections like that they can suggest all those friends' mutual friends.
Yeah I'm also pretty stoked about this thing, if only it weren't so pricy.
>Obviously companies have all the power

Major corporations may have a lot. The random corner shop with two employees certainly doesn't.
I haven’t tried a recent enough version of react-navigation to comment, but the older version was so bad in terms of complexity, missing basic features and inconsistent paradigms that I am permanently taste averted to ever installing the npm package again.

react-native-navigation appears to me to be the best available option. The main downside is that it kind of “takes over” your app in terms of the native bootstrapping process on either platform, which can make integrating other native modules slightly more challenging.

Your app looks fantastic, by the way!

The abuse is the compulsory, unpaid pager, and the expectation that you’re working 7a-9p. “Joe” with the young kids pushes back because he has to. You’re the sucker saying yes.

The fix for this is easy. You pay for on-call, and have a understood system for assigning it. My brother in law is a fireman... he misses many holidays, but can plan around it because there is such a system.
This article is wrong, Binance reached a billion dollar valuation in less than 6 months. And they’re profitable.
What is a `profile` though? If they create an entry on a different database not linked to face book profiles, does that count?

My thought is this: as big as facebook is, they are probably curious about the people who don't have facebook accounts. "we know this person exists because of the activity we see on the internet but we can't link them to any facebook profile." Maybe this is too out there but if i was a company trying to get every user on the internet to have a face book account, the ones without would be as interesting as the ones with.
Once upon a time I used to use Microsoft's Office Suite. These days I find that Libre Office is "perfectly good enough" for me with the amount of usage I do. That may not be enough for many people but I find the price ($0) "perfectly good enough" also.
What's funny about big corporations is they will always always always ask employees to pitch in, help out, make sacrifices, etc. for the betterment of the corporation: to get work done, to survive lean times, etc. And yet when the shoe is on the other foot they are always the most incredibly reluctant to make any sacrifice, even small ones, to help their employees. And this isn't just a matter of finances, financially it makes sense to retain good employees at almost any cost, because it costs a ton of money to hire and train new employees (sometimes upwards of a year's worth of salary for the position in equivalent costs), and that's aside from the ancillary benefits of retaining employees longer (better work environment, higher skill level workers, more able to reliably execute on challenging projects, etc.) So much of it just comes down to power dynamics.
What they should do is say "These are our parental leave policies" (which will be at least legal minimum) and go from there. (Ideally, these should be reasonable leave time government policies and paid by the government, but let's assume we're not going to fix that soon)

It's then up to the candidate to accept it or not.

It'd be entirely shitty of a company to say "here are our policies" and then reject a candidate who would exercise those policies.
> What if it's 1.3M

Then you do your risk analysis and determine if the risk of the person not working out is something you can stomach. At 1M/yr, the risk is you hire a salesperson who gets you no new accounts after a year, existing revenue drops for other reasons and then you are forced to fire someone productive to make ends meet because you're 100k in the hole. At 1.3M/yr, maybe it'll be extremely stressful, but there's a least a fighting chance that you won't be in the red at the end of the year. At 2M/yr, the worst case will still suck, but it won't put your business anywhere near danger of extinction because you have a rainy day bank.

Revenue is often not directly tied to headcount. Even if your 9 employees can barely keep up, your revenue should still be rising over time until a time you can financially support another hire. If your revenue is not increasing, then increasing your headcount is likely going to make things worse, and more importantly, you should be questioning the viability of the business.
In many ways, it seems very similar to the taxi industry, which only seems to be as profitable as it is (in addition to safe and reliable) thanks to regulation and a sanctioned geographic monopoly. Somehow I doubt such a monopoly will be granted to a single corporation like Bird, though perhaps there is another path to viability.
That's effectively the same thing. 16 hex characters is 64 bits. Most users have a password with much less than 64 bits of entropy. So for most users truncating the hash to 64 bits provides no benefit.
Oh good, I was worried that this surreal conversation was missing the anti-abortion angle, but you totally brought it. Here’s a thought though, stop invading countries full of actual people and killing them before you worry about your foetus “kill count” ok? I listed Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Iraq, Afghanistan, all,of the CIA activities in South and Central America, the impact of drug prohibition, Racist policing and slavery and de facto slavery via prison labor (and the largest prison population)... and your concern is that women in your country aren’t sufficiently controlled on religious grounds?

It feels like maybe your issue with communist regimes is that they’re not theocratic enough for your tastes. Because of course theocracies offer such an excellent quality of life. If you really want to make a difference, stop selling arms to the worst regimes, like Saudi Arabia. Leave women’s reproductive rights alone.
But I asked why is she considered that way. I’m not saying she is special but why do people say she is the next Jobs.
It had a resolution! It just wasn’t the cathartic, neat, hero-walks-into-the-sunset resolution that so much American storytelling ends with.

It’s a more thoughtful, open ended, resolution. One that leaves you asking questions rather than nodding in conclusion.

Lester has escaped. He’s not alone anymore. He’s (potentially) sacrificed himself for the freedom of another who helped him.

I can’t comment on Ionic, but for the features you’re talking about, RN is definitely suitable. The RN ecosystem of native modules is certainly massive. Off the top of my head:

Forms: tcomb-form-native

GPS: react-native-background-geolocation
Camera: react-native-camera
It takes 64 bits of a sha1 hash, which is effectively the same as a sha1 hash for most users' passwords.
At one job I had we got "help" from a local college professor on how to design our database. A lot of what he said made sense. And we were super green and databases were not our expertise or focus. Short on time, high on cash, we asked if he'd implement it for us.

I will never forget my gut wrenching feeling when I opened up one of the main provisioning scripts (in Python) to read the first two lines:

True = 0
False = -1

The rest of it was an unmaintainable disaster that may have worked. I learned so much that summer, having been forced to learn it all myself.

I don’t think content providers like newspapers feel exposing snippets that are so informative that readers stop engaging with the main site are being provided a valuable service. Google has long since moved away from simply providing ten blue links and now strives to keep people as long as possible on its own site. There’s a trade off between aggregators and the content providers they rely on, and this is a minor correction needed.

And as always, even worse-- You won't ever know if you just aren't up to snuff as an engineer / interviewer or if one or more of your interviewers, recruiters or hiring agents knows of and/or participates in such "blacklisting"

Which is also illegal, but companies openly get away with it every day.

The worst that ever happens is a slap on the wrist when all the major companies have non recruitment ("no poaching") agreements with each other, suppress wages, get caught, and have to pay a token fine.

The embedded like buttons can be used to track a user across the web, similar to ad agencies' tracking pixels. FB is an advertising company, it would've been very stupid of them if they didn't notice they could do this. And we know they don't carw about ethics...

The problem is that the people refers to a group as a collective. The economy deals with individuals that make up a group. Individuals always triumph in the long run, which means that if you set rules where you discriminate against individuals that want to be different for the benefit of the group then you end up with a system that will eventually collapse.
I didn't graduate because I couldn't bring myself to go to classes I had no interest in.

No degree put me in a rough position. My resume claimed that I had graduated, but I had not. While I did get offers, whenever I shared that I failed out of fourth year, my offer was rescinded.

Not wanting to work for someone unethically, I went into business for myself about 10 months ago and am doing quite well, more than I would have earned in my first year of work at another company.

I would certainly have preferred the stability of a full time job while moonlighting, but either way I feel like long term success is still on the table. (Which wasn't the case 10 months ago)

If you're failing, get help. You are not alone.

Are the police not able to run away? No, not really. To threaten somebody with deadly force is a felony. You or I would have a duty to run away if possible. A police officer has a duty to apprehend the suspect. What if the officers ran away and their assailant went on to assault and kill others?

As for how much risk a blunt weapon poses, a pipe can easily cave in a person's skull with a single blow. Successfully blocking the strike could result in a compound fracture of the forearm ... and then a caved-in skull. Broken ribs can cause punctured lungs and death from a pneumothorax. And it can all happen in a fraction of a second.

Real life violence is not a dance, like those long drawn-out fight scenes in movies. It's not about throwing punches and inflicting pain until somebody gives up. It's about breaking bodies so thoroughly that it's irrelevant whether the other person wants to give up or not. It's sudden, fast, confusing, brutal, and often horrific. The survivors of real world violence often come away knowing the smell of brains or freshly spilled bowels.

Before second guessing the police, it's important to know just what they really face. Read some books on real life violence. It's sobering. Rory Miller is a good place to start.
That's what I'm arguing for, the burden should fall fairly across all taxpayers rather than solely upon the hapless employers who ignored the massive incentives to discriminate against soldiers and parents.
The problem is the male default. Grammatically it's fine, but when hundreds of article default to male, it has a growing effect socially. "They" or "he or she" is typically customary these days, more and more so the former as the latter is annoying to write and the singular they is becoming more accepted as a grammatical change in English.
Is "profile" defined at the beginning of this document? Sounds like a lawyer worked on the document and said "A profile is defined as bla bla bla" (e.g. a description of the person accessible by other public users). And someone's ad profile is... something else.

FB probably would just have a classification of this person, e.g. where they stand on the left-right spectrum, how much they like particular things (e.g. cars, fashion, travel), their income level..
