No that isn't it - the recruiters don't care about you so why should they reply? It's just a waste of time. Their job is about treating people as things.

I've had several recruiters ghost me, then months later contact me with potential gigs.

There’s academic research that shows a pattern like you describe taking off during the Reagan era of union busting.

Since then, filling important roles (at the grunt level) has taken longer, wages aren’t keeping up.

It’s almost as if it’s stupidly inefficient to have millions of workers negotiating all this on their own.

Open standards in employment make the whole process smoother. Waste less human hours. But also increase worker security, which our system has been trying to undermine to the benefit of corporate masters for decades

(Seriously; Alan Greenspan reported to Congress that growing worker insecurity was good for business during the Clinton admin)

Certain states are likely to remain relatively worse places for minorities, particularly blacks, to live. But the system is bent in this manner everywhere, including California. The diffference, of course, is that in Florida the voting populace has collectively decided that they like the way things currently work. Whereas in places like California, the voting populace is deciding for a lot of reasons that they don't like the current situation.

> Is that first example age discrimination?

That is a really good question. The short answer is that it's generally legal to consider salary demands in a hiring situation, but not in the context of firing or laying people off. On the other hand, it's super easy to muddy those waters. Change the performance requirements for the level that's full of older workers, and put them on improvement plans when they're found wanting. Phase out their current role, and oh look, there are no new roles requiring their skills so they'll have to take a demotion or quit. And many other tricks. Ultimately it all comes down to intent and effect, not the pretext the company uses.

On the other hand, Apple does not think that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right (since freedom of expression is also the freedom to install the apps you want without a gatekeeper) Their devices are completely locked down, and the user is helpless if Apple decides to become hostile, like in China where all iCloud data is in the hands of the Chinese government and many apps are banned.

Also, once again this is the HN bubble rearing it's ugly head again. Suffice to say here most people have never worked in a customer facing job or manual labor job (food service, delivery, retail, sales, construction, landscaping). Most of my "off" days I spent worrying about whether or not my boss would call me to come in anyways because some lazy ass decided not to come in so they were short staffed -- and I needed the money so couldn't say no. My father before me worked 10-13 hours a day, every day, for years without having a day off. I'll take 8/9-5 with regular weekends, thank you, no complaints for me. What people need here is perspective, to realize just how good you have it. If you feel like it, I bet most people here could leave work right now with relatively no issue, and just make up the work later at some other location, say a coffee shop or something -- even that is a privilege.
My last job had this for several years (over a decade, I was only there for a couple years though) and then when the parent company was acquired 2 years ago, the perks slowly started to get scaled back. Eventually, they made Friday afternoons mandatory again.

Most of the devs with the luxury of moving and getting a different job started looking immediately. I changed jobs less than 6 months after the policy change. Productivity also went way down because morale was in the gutter.
Isn't Hinkley Point C using the EPR design[1], which one might think was selected in an attempt to address the issue of economies of scale?

Having said that, EDF themselves don't appear to be particularly positive about the selected design:

$15 isn't a huge bounty for the risk of potential litigation/getting fired for breaking company policy for telling honest feedback. This is how I see it from HR's perspective. A prospective candidate may not take the feedback as constructive criticism, causing some backlash and issues to the recruiter.

Another reason you are not sent as a rejection letter, is because it looks bad on HR's end if you were rejected, only to get hired months later. It basically says to the candidate "Our first pick dipped out on us, we were desperate enough to go through the 2nd pool, called a bunch of people, you were our backup". HR doesn't care about you, just what works for their company.

Sending rejection letters takes effort and offers no short-term benefits from HR's standpoint. Also, it can get quite messy to manage emails, especially if HR is aggregating prospective candidates from different portals all to one email.(remoteok.io, indeed.com, glassdoor.com, careerbuilder, reactjsjobs.com, etc)

Email responses becomes difficult to manage since you get 100+ emails in your inbox daily, 95% of candidates being unqualified. HR might not be big enough to warrant a dedicated system or tooling for hiring. You can use builtin tools like indeed.com, but from my experience its slower than using email. If you want to get shit done really fast forwarding to an email is time-saving, simple, and cheap.

You can then take the best candidates there, put it in kanban / trello / notion task board, etc if its a multistage interview process.

Companies aren't going to care enough to blacklist you in some database unless you caused some serious offense to warrant this. I can only think of one company that might actually do this, and its Valve.

Also if you apply to the same company more than once, you might be dealing with the same recruiter. They might recognize your resume just from memory though

Actually,

Twitter and Facebook are corporations. Entities that conservatives have successfully argued have First Amendment rights. (see: Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission)

Twitter and Facebook censoring posts and users is itself a form of speech. Their speech. How interesting that some conservative voices now suggest that "big government" be used to censor the voices of corporations.

The irony here of course is that the type of censorship you are advocating for is exactly what is prohibited by the Bill of Rights.

The story of Porsche and Chrysler ignores their history. These brands don't exist in a vacuum. Customers aren't approaching these products only by looking at features and prices.

10 or 15 years ago, there was a clever Porsche commercial where a kid goes to the dealership to check out the latest 911, and gets a business card, and says "I'll be back in 20 years". I thought that perfectly summed up the Porsche brand. There was something special about Porsche that stuck with you -- all they do is make the best car in the world. When I first heard that Porsche was making an SUV, I remember thinking the brand was dead. It was now just another car company. I no longer have any desire to ever own a Porsche. Their new sports cars are technically impressive but the cachet is gone.

(I suspect the Cayenne works today because the target audience grew up in the Porsche golden era. It's comparable to an X5 or Q7, but noticeably more expensive. Will it continue to sell well in the future, when their market doesn't consist of people who grew up dreaming about the 911?)

The Dodge Dart (clearly the Chrysler subject, though not mentioned here by name) was advertised in its commercial as "under 16 grand", which is a perfectly reasonable price for a compact car. What price would the author of this article have recommended instead? What really sank it in the market, according to the reviews, was reliability. I don't associate the Chrysler brand with reliability, and I didn't believe that "kicking out the finance guys" would solve that overnight.

(Had the car sported a Honda badge, and the same price tag, I truly believe it would have sold like hotcakes.)

You can see the same effect in some other recent car commercials. They take a car, strip off all the logos, and ask "normal people" to review it. They ooh and aah, and wonder if it's the newest BMW. Surprise: it's American!

What I don't understand is: if the biggest liability of American carmakers is literally their name and logo, why do they stick with them? Why do they continue to try to find clever ways to change our minds about things that they know everybody has already made up their minds about? In any other industry, when a brand is no longer valuable, they change it. I know there are older people who will only ever buy a Ford/Chevy/Dodge, but the latest hybrid subcompact or hot hatch is not being marketed to those people, anyway.

The Germans did it right: they had a brand name that people valued highly, so they put it on something these people were buying anyway -- and were willing to pay a premium for. (There's a whole "Porsche Design" subsidiary selling knives and pens and such.) The Americans did it wrong: they had a brand name that wasn't highly valued, so people didn't want a product with that brand name, even at a good price. Brands are mostly immutable. It takes a long time to change anyone's mind.
Not ActivityPub, but this has been implemented in with Scuttlebutt[0] with availability polls to decide when to schedule an event, RSVP options, and it's all done completely P2P with no "instances" required to act as central servers.

Yes, IPFS is purely hash based which is great for static images/movies.

DAT is also hash based, but at least it has support for top-level asymmetric keys that you can put files into, and ADD files to without the root directory changing its hash. IPNS works around this, but isn't ideal.

Neither systems can handle high frequency P2P data that changes - for instance Reddit-like sites etc. those ( http://notabug.io ) and other sites like the Internet Archive (which has IPFS, WebTorrent, and GUN versions decentralized) are built on our system (https://github.com/amark/gun), are already pushing terabytes of P2P traffic.

And don't forget about WebTorrent and Secure Scuttlebutt!!!

Good perspective, I had not thought of that. Thank you.
Facebook Container is very nice. It's curated by the development team, so you just install it and now "Pow" your Facebook is inside a Container. Like, if you click your existing Facebook bookmark, or follow an email link to a Facebook post, anything like that, the page is inside the container, but not only are your other tabs not in the container (so they don't share cookies etcetera) even the tab with Facebook in, stops being inside the container if you leave Facebook.

So long as you aren't relying on Facebook to log you into other sites, it's pretty seamless, and any edges (including that one) are consequences of the containerisation itself, they're evidence it's protecting you. For example, I pay for Youtube, so I don't see adverts, but inside the Facebook container Youtube has no idea that's me, so any Youtube videos embedded in Facebook have ads like for other users. If I leave Facebook and play the same video outside, no adverts.

Multi-account containers aren't curated (well, you do the curating) so for non-trivial sites (where they'd be most useful) you can expect to spend time tweaking things to ensure that e.g. MyBank-savings.example is inside the same container as MyBank-account.example and NewBrandFor-MyBank.example as otherwise confusing stuff can happen as the containers isolate things you actually wanted connected.
I like Summer time precisely so people can go outside and enjoy the physical world more. It's miserable to work until 5:30pm and have to turn your headlights on to go home.
I think the big difference is that one can potentially be far more targeted than the other. Sort of the difference between publishing an update package to a software repository and SSH'ing into my computer and running commands (or having my computer periodically pinging a server asking for commands to run).

Though I think there are also issues with silently using a software update to change settings that some user may have set differently in the past to a different value (assuming the value the user used wasn't removed or had its meaning changed). If the developer really things the user would be better off changing the setting, the should prompt the user to explain the reasoning and ask for consent.

After the DST transition last fall I did some analysis using our dataset at Cronitor: After removing jobs that ran every hour, just a little under 20% of jobs ran twice. Most versions of Crontab handle DST changes correctly but there are a lot of ways to scheduled jobs and this will be a win for a simpler spec creating more reliable systems that are easier to reason about.

Unfortunately that's what happens to a company that's been run the way IBM has for the last ~25 years. The top talent with career aspirations bailed long ago. That's not to say there aren't still competent and talented people there, just that the most ambitious (whether for money, cool projects, promotion track etc) are long gone. Unfortunately for IBM, those were the folks that should have been helping management identify the dead wood which has been piling up. The most talented people still around probably learned long ago to keep their head down and mouth shut so they've de-prioritized 'the company' and it's probably just put in their hours each week and forget about work when they clock out.
