I appreciate your specific experience. But, I have a question regarding your statement regarding risk taking.

Did you mean, if you want to stay an engineer as you age, then you have to take less risks because it will be difficult to get that next job as an engineer? Do you also mean, that it actually becomes more likely that you will be forced to start a business if you fall out of the engineering career due to age / circumstance, because it is difficult to be hired as one?

I'm curious because, it seems like the older you get but are still capable of working, if you are unemployed, the higher the likelihood that you will be forced to take more risks than less to find the employment or make a business.

I have heard that you are more likely to be successful starting a business if you are older, not younger [1] [2] [3]. I'm sure it's not true for everyone, but that might make sense if you are unable to work in the normal job market but have experience and ability.

Also try mawk - it runs much faster than awk.
This a 1000 times! It's been the nail in the coffin everytime I try to replace our outdated document management system.
Didn’t Carryrou’s WSJ stories say that her parents’ govt connections pulled in Schultz and got her connected to the military? I remember his reporting implying that a lot of the money Theranos raised seemed like it came in expecting military applications and thus military contracts. Which the military board (that her parents connected her with initially) would have helped with.
I won't believe #6!!
The old quote
“The hardest thing to fake is sincerity”.
People fear things outside their comfort zone, and resist understanding them.

My father is afraid of git. My sister in law is afraid of open source software. And, that fear is reflected in their career choices and the quality of their code.
Very interesting.

I have noticed that my baseline REM (or should I call it “REM”) was different for the two (Fitbit and Jawbone) but if it’s lower than baseline on either device I feel dramatically worse than usual and if I get higher than usual REM I feel better.

As you say, it’s detecting “stuff”
IMHO serior roles isn't really about javascript question but more about architecture, high-risk operations, leading/managing teams, testing, software trade-offs, etc.
ARC often wins against LRU, but there is a lot of left on the table compared to other policies. That's because they do capture some frequency, but not very well imho.

You can mitigate the exclusive lock using a write-ahead log approach [1] [2]. Then you record events into ring buffers, replay in batches, and have an exclusive tryLock. This works really well in practice and lets you do much more complex policy work without much less worry about concurrency.

Except, unlike Jobs, she couldn’t actually execute. The Jobs distortion field wasn’t a parlor trick, he was able to actually create the reality. Holmes was unlike Jobs in every way other than in her own mind. Look at all of the products that came from Jobs’s distortion field. Look at the wasteland of false promises resulting from Theranos. She was selling lemonade and calling it vodka.

It is a biological reality and always has been, trying to get women not to raise their kids is just causing problems to everyone in the family. It is time to admit that this experience has failed miserably and instead of putting the kids on ritalin and moms on prozak we should bring back the natural way that always worked, women raising their young children, preferably while they are still young and healthy. All we have to do is change the time line of women careers, instead of making it similiar to men it should start later after the kids are already in school, much more simple than the all the gymnastics we try to do now to get women to become corporate minions at age 22 and bring kids at age 32 rather than the opposite.

Here's Tim Draper's interview on CNBC telling people in 2018 that Elizabeth Holmes is an icon and hero. He was an early investor in Theranos and likely responsible for bringing in a lot of the major investors. As far as I'm concerned he should also be investigated for his part in this massive fraud.

Thanks for chiming in, as is my way after diving into a "touchy" subject I'm honestly half regretting this thread given the negative reception, and from your greying I see you received the same; but what is HN for if we don't discuss important things. :) It's ironic since your situation is _exactly_ what I worry about, both my wife and I have some phenomenal stories of the side-channels that can be used to ensure "lack of performance" during or prior to a maternity leave.

Hell, it even bridges genders, I've seen male friends on extended sick leave got the shaft via PiPs, where the time-correlation was uncanny to say the least, and the cost to pursue it seemed disadvantageous to them at the time.

My suspicion is that there's a perception that because we don't back the "Laws Laws Laws" aspect of it 100%, some people read us as "opposed", when in reality I'm arguing that _laws are not sufficient_ to achieve positive outcomes. Unfortunately, many people are... very opposed to engaging in this discussion, so the best I can do is guess.

EDIT: (And, lest I spam the thread more, thanks@meti for mentioning EEOC, I honestly didn't know that existed prior, and I'll be sending it to one friend right now)
Paralegals often make more than lawyers who don't get to big law and those jobs are not open to people who went to law school bc they are "over qualified".

I agree with not choosing an education due to money, but money is a great reason to NOT choose an education.

Law is a totally broken model where the 5% who get big law do great and the other 95% get slaughtered.

Bad advanced JD questions will involve quirks of the language that experienced JS developers will have learned to avoid, like details of how type coercion and == work.

Good advanced JS questions (in my opinion) will involve things that are useful but also challenging, like details about promises, prototypical inheritance (that one is debatable, since some JS experts avoid that), the browser event loop, etc.
Ask HN: Can you recommend any ML papers or blogs for visual art detection?
You're completely right, but I think you're misinterpreting the usefulness of this bloom filter. It would most likely serve only as the first layer in a password strength check.

Because there is no possibility of a false negative, you know that if the bloom filter does not include the hash you gave it, the password definitely does not exist in the original corpus. In this case, the password is probably at least semi-unique. If you're using this bloom filter in the context of a web application registration process, this would likely be the case for anyone trying to sign up with a strong/unique password, e.g. a random one generated by a password manager.

However, if the bloom filter maybe contains the hash, you would likely fall back to some more expensive strength check, like querying the full HIBP database to see if this exact password definitely exists in there.
Just a question. Who would they pay? I know a few people I might pay for that but only incidentally & I’ve worked in tech. for 20 years.

Where would an average though maybe high priced attorney go to get advice other than “use signal & WhatsApp” if they knew they needed protection from a federal investigation?
"here's a high-level description of a fictional product. Let's have a discussion about where you start, what kind of technical and and design discussion you make and what goes through your head as you would theoretically tackle this project".

Not exactly what you want, but that's still what I'd ask.

That will tell me more about the candidate's abilities than syntax questions or other silly things like that. INCLUDING how good they are at syntax and silly things (the way they speak will show it).

What I like about these kind of open-ended problems, is that it accounts for variety of backgrounds and skillsets. People can surprise you with solutions and ideas you'd never have thought about.

It does require 2 things: 1) make it absolutely clear that this isn't a question with a predefined answer. 2) you have to be open minded about how the candidate answers.

Most frontend devs will go through their frameworks of choice, project structures, backend tooling preferences, how they sketch a UI, how they work with designers, etc. I had one once walk me through a complete system architecture analysis. We gave them an offer to lead our devops team ;)

Signal won't prune the messages until you open the app (or maybe the conversation) again. There've been a few releases where the changelog notes that the app didn't expire ephemeral messages properly.
“Natural language processing and recurrent neural networks could soon be leveraged to generate unbiased, accurate summaries of articles...”

A couple questions.

Are there still functional political machines in the US? The Chicago machine survived the 40's but was killed by the Shakman Decrees 20 years ago.

(There's still a formidable political party to be sure and a bit of graft wouldn't surprise me, but it seems almost sarcastic to compare that to eg the New Deal political machine, or the Chicago machine of ol'.)

You wouldn't believe how many complicated python tasks I see that run into the many hundreds of lines of code that are an awk one or two liner and a line in crontab.

And if you really want that in a repo, you can stick that in ansible trivially.

Sometimes instead I just wrap a line of awk in %x() in Ruby to save a few chunks of code.

Most programmers don't understand why I do this though. :(

I was hoping for a list like this, but again it isn't specific to what he said. Reason is, I wanted to do an emergency last minute order on Aliexpress if it was. I was sincerely worried that it was true. But the reaction is totally overblown. That and I already have a large inventory of touch screen displays, and LEDs -- the only things that were on the list. So I am not worried.

High profile sociopaths are extreme outliers, as most sociopaths burn through their social connections well before becoming competent enough at social manipulation and finding enough people that are well-off enough to maintain a parasitic life.

My reading of that was that they had 731 pages of texts, which were supposed to have been encrypted by WhatsApp or Signal, that were stored in plain text.

That's what this article appears to suggest:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-15/prosecuto...

From paragraph 2 in the article:

> Investigators have restored 16 pages of documents found in Cohen’s shredder and recovered 731 pages of messages sent on encrypted platforms, including WhatsApp and Signal.
Some guy from "the book store" once asked me to implement memoization[1] in JavaScript during a live screen share.

I’m not sure any kind of “x was worse than y” makes sense on that scale of evils. How can one possibly weigh the countless lives lost due to decisions made by both? I think the only thing one can truly say is, both were terrible human beings, and hope we can detect and stop someone in the future from becoming such. Yet, I am not sure it is possible, the banality of evil is slow and unnoticeable until it is too late.
Wow, how terrifying. Is this English-speaking privilege rearing its ugly head again? Re the Terry Gilliam film Brazil: yes indeed, we have arrived.

But somehow it's much more than that - we are becoming a mashup of Brazil + Brave New World. We've created colossal world bureaucracies (both government and corporate) writing and enforcing countless rules. But simultaneously, because of of perceived individual benefits offered by these bureaucracies, we have eagerly embraced a misplaced complacent acceptance of all these new rules. Boggles the mind.

In our brave new world, maybe ignorance truly is bliss.

Murder is wrong yet we don't spend infinity $ on trying to prevent it. There's a point where we go "we could spend more to prevent more murders but it's not worth it". Everything is ultimately subject to the constraints imposed by reality and therefore the economic costs and benefits related to certain behaviors. Therefore, designing policy based on willfully blind moralism is a terrible approach.

If you're not even willing to consider the idea of regulations to deal with the matter pragmatically (such as the govt stipend suggested by the person you were replying to), then the situation is just going to continue unchanged.
Maybe. However the idea of Theranos was it would replace tests you were going to do anyway. It needed to be just as good.

In some contexts a less invasive, easier to do, or just plain cheaper test can make sense for screening even if it's not good enough to replace your other tests. So there's a middle ground between "replaces blood tests for malaria" and useless.

My pathologist friend was telling me that because machines are still very bad at figuring out if cells from a smear might be cancer but very good at figuring out if a sample has HPV fragments they've switched to letting the machines check samples for HPV and then, since cervical cancer is almost invariably caused by HPV a human looks at the smears for the HPV positive patients to search for cancer. Humans aren't great at this either, but this approach means each individual worker spends more time looking at the smears that actually might have cancer, so hopefully that lets them do a better job.
Also known as "Fake it while awaiting unknown outcome." It's not like faking it guarantees making it. And since "unknown outcome" is kind of the default always, the most concise statement of this approach is really just "Fake it." Which is the problem. "Fake it" is so bad, that even if you later "make it" (like Shkreli for example), you still don't get forgiven.
Because they are not wretched at risk analysis. They have at least a child’s understanding that humans are not machines, and there is a high variability in week to week performance, but overall the humans are a net gain.

> We agree, societally, that we shouldn't discriminate against parents. However, we don't live in a world where a business is spared the cost incurred by that.

The policy solution is:

- A per-child negative income tax sufficient to cover the risk/impact of employer discrimination.

- Give mothers and fathers equal leave.

- Limit the compulsory work week to 50 hours for salaried (or overtime hourly) employees.

- Penalties for violating the above sufficient to convince lawyers to take the case on a speculative basis if the client has a legitimate case.

That balances out the differences between genders and parents/non-parents sufficiently that anyone with sense wouldn't take the risk.
Pop-ups with no data control are no longer enough, but a simple "all or nothing" control is.

My point is really that no one calls their opponents 'Stalin' or 'Commies' the same way people in America tend to call others 'Hitler' or 'Nazis,' which is surprising, given the enormity of the crimes against humanity committed by Stalin and the Russian Communists during roughly the same time. I posit that the root cause is due to the effects of propaganda. No one has really addressed that.
If it's so profitable then why didn't any other companies set up a competing line in the first place? The perversion happened long ago if the city prevented any competition from stepping in before the city finally decided to move.

In general companies are faster movers than governments in these types of things. If that didn't happen then something prevented them from being able to do so.

The corrupted politicians are to blame here for blocking other companies from competing, not the business.
