Kleinberg and Tardos is also friendly, informal, insightful, and even heuristic to an extent, but opposite of the others, so IMO its much better and very different than Skiena's, though it isn't a quick read before an exam or an interview sort of a book, which is what Skiena's can be described as. Browse K&T to see what I mean.

XTX Markets | London, UK | Full-time | Onsite | https://www.xtxmarkets.com/

London-based XTX Markets is looking to expand its small low-latency C++ team. We have hundreds of Linux servers located at tens of financial exchanges around the world, and we design / build / maintain the entire software stack which runs on them. We're not serving up adverts, or worrying about user acquisition metrics, or building software for a faceless third party - everything we build is for our own use, and we use what we build to trade over 150 billion dollars worth of assets every day, all in a completely automated manner. You should be familiar with modern C++, interested in pushing hardware to its limits, and not afraid of mathematical formulae. No prior financial experience is necessary - we're happy to teach you that part.

I'm not a fan of his talk, but I wanna be honest about its contents.

That's the kernels of coherency we can extract from his slides (found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c_NyUhOZ8erdqU2AGZJZtNfFeA9...). In reality he literally argues "conservative theory vs cultural marxism." He reuses Damore's claim of "preferences" with a cite to a humanities paper from the 1800s (talk about a replication crisis), and uses this newish claim of σ=1.15 on an IQ distribution which is not faring well in peer review.

He does specifically try to argue that women are cited equally when they are listed contributors. This argument is of course plagued by historical evidence he doesn't really care to refute, let alone address.
> ) Even if they're backpedalling on the idea of macOS as a server and pushing for migrating to open source tools, they don't want to openly admit this, that always looks bad and unprofessional.

I think it looks way worse to just let it limp along and slowly die. Fail fast, learn your lesson, and move on.

>1) It probably makes them at least a noticeable percentage of revenue, if not much, so that cutting it out completely would maybe cut funding for a dozen employees.

They are APPLE, they have ridiculous cash. If said employees are of a high quality/standard then I am sure they can figure out something else for them to do at Apple. Even if it means paying them for a few months while they get trained up on a new project/department.
I'm a smart guy too. You know what you hear all the time growing up when you're smart? "Oh, you're smart, you're going to be rich and famous someday."

You hear it enough times and you might start to believe it too, that you're so smart you'll make all the right decisions and you can't fail. But then you become an adult and throw yourself into a passion or product and send it out there and realize the harsh truth that the market doesn't give a shit if you're smart or not, or even if what you made is "good", or even "great".

And it's impossible for you to know everything about everything, so somewhere along the line you will make a suboptimal choice, or choose the wrong time to release it, or release it on the wrong platform, or the people you hired to do X for you (development, marketing, distribution, qa, whatever) screwed up and leads to you getting terrible press (or no press coverage), or all sorts of crap that you have little control over or can't foresee.

I've personally worked for three game studios that made multiple games that flopped hard upon release. It gets depressing and frustrating when the creative products you spend months and months of your time working on didn't even make enough back to pay back your own salary for that time, let alone anyone else who worked on the project, and where you might as well never have spent that time in the first place.

The guys in the article only had a couple of failed games, and one monster success that continues to bring in millions of dollars in revenue. My only big success was a free flash game (before in-app purchases even existed) that I released 13 years ago....so yeah, no money there, at least not directly. I've worked on at least 8 failed games professionally, and many other failed or cancelled apps or enterprise software, since then.

For example, a year ago I wasted 6 months on a project at work that was supposed to sell to two major Fortune 100 clients and didn't, so it was killed without ever being used once. Even my biggest failed game projects I worked on at least had a few fans.

I've easily worked on more failures than even minor successes. It starts to drain on you. My confidence in my ability to make a successful anything in the future is pretty shaken.

Anyway, long story short, I was led to believe that my life would be easy and I'd find success after success by many people in my life, parents, teachers, fellow students, etc. And so far pretty much my entire adult life, with a couple of exceptions, has proven that what I was told was total bullshit and I'm just as capable of making bad decisions and getting unlucky as people half as book-smart as I am.

So maybe some of the people that do make those assumptions or have heard those same things as they grew up need to be told that it doesn't matter.
> Is being searched before you get on a plane or enter a customs checkpoint some kind of hideous infringement of your civil liberties? No!

Of course it is. We're simply used to it, because we're sheep and cowards. But it is. Searching everyone, without probable cause or reasonable suspicion of anything, is a violation of civil liberties, and of basic human decency. It's also pure theater and useless.

And because we have accepted this, other privacy agressions seem justified.

I find it fine for them to require looking through digital material. The problem they have is that the digital material is complete nonsense without also having a password to decrypt it with. What should be off-limit to law enforcement in general are the secrets we keep in our memory.
It is also Linux, so there are probably three different ways to make partitions appear to be a different size or reserve certain blocks in the partition.
We do no offer any revenues/profits sharing for employees. Just very competitive salary. But maybe we will consider this in the future. In addition, it is still not very common in Belarus. Even in terms of legislation.

Mike, thank you for all of this.

1. Can you talk more about the ramp up from the idea of Everhour to actually working on the project full time. Did you guys slowly wean yourself off of consulting work, or was there a decision to jump into Everhour as a SaaS early on?

2. How do you handle nonpayment for annual subscription renewal? Do you reach to the company, or shut them down immediately?

3. What kind of features do a free vs paid userbase generally request?

Or, maybe, this Social Darwinism is fascist nonsense and you fully admit to being disgustingly amoral.

You are free to try if you want to bear the consequences and the risk of a different outcome. What you people tend to forget: different morals and amoral is not the same thing, don‘t force your morals on me. You have no right to.

I care very much about our survival as a species, but I believe that by allowing each and every one to survive at a high cost to society, we put the wellbeing of mankind at risk. I‘m all for getting dumb people to stop eating meat for perceived ecological reasons though!

That argument is silly because all those things could also be stored (encrypted) on cloud servers and downloaded from NZ at any time. Trying to protect the country from CP via border checks is like a comedy skit to me.
Large companies have teams of lawyers for a reason, that being that they are all involved in multiple simultaneous lawsuits. Tesla isn't special.

Doesn't matter if news is good or bad. People like you will flood the comments of all forums with visions of doom. Just a couple days ago everyone was sure the SEC case would sink Elon and look at where we are at now. This isn't a day trading forum. You don't have precognition.
I don't understand ... they've eliminated the Mail server? or you just have to click a button to install it specifically? or you have to manually install one of the open-source mail servers yourself? (in which case why use MacOS server at all, not say, Debian)

Going through your personal papers is totalitarian and the definition of a police state. The fact that this is being openly done in 'democracies' with no shame makes the word meaningless.

Where are the protests, free press in arms, academics, ngos and call for sanctions by the 'international community'?

Is anyone going to bomb New Zealand and the US for violation of human rights and restore democracy? So much for 'our values' and the western tradition of 'enlightenment, freedom and democracy'.
Ask HN: Stats about “Who is Hiring” thread?
Every month these HN "Who is Hiring" threads are posted. I was wondering if anyone kept some form of statistics for their job applications to these places.

Like, I would be curious to know, when you send out an application to a job that is at least a reasonable match, what percentage of companies do you actually hear back from? ("Hearing back from" defined as, you get a rejection email, or they contact you for more info or an interview/screening call; but NOT the automated mails some companies send to let you know they received your application.)

I would also like to know things like:

- how many of such applications lead to an interview vs instant rejection

- how do these percentages compare to places like Dice, StackOverflow, etc, or just "non-HN" or even "all applications to anybody"

I am keeping some stats about this myself, although not as detailed as I would like. As of today, I have been hearing back (in some form or another) from about 51% of applications to HN job postings. This is a bit higher than for the total number of applications, which is currently at 42%.

Anyway, I am curious to hear if anybody else keeps similar data.

I don’t think that’s true, people weren’t carrying around every photo they ever took, and even then they took a lot less photos. People did not carry around all their banking statements all the time, etc. It’s an order of magnitude problem; yes, sometimes, people carried around those things and their diaries or whatnot, but this is more akin to giving the people the keys to your house, so they can make a perfect copy of to rummage through at their hearts content and find everything in it, and then wiretap your house.

This process came about because the public hasn’t demanded privacy protections as much as it has demanded safety, not out of any logical extension for existing policies.

Conceptual Modeling, Ontological Commitment, and the Data Model
Maybe it's all the posts about Erlang (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=512145).
Besides the history and baggage of patriarchy, men bear the responsibility because women still run into double standards of behavior (not allowed to be angry, critical, etc.), inequity of where they can comfortably hang out, and men are more likely to objectify women because of sex interests. Now those are just tendencies and many men do a great job working against them, but they are a massive part of a woman's experience in the workplace and I think men checking other men is the highest priority.

This story is illustrative, I think, and helps me think about women out in the world. My wife went into a bar in DC recently which at that moment was entirely men (imagine 20-30 middle aged male, DC professionals socializing, and they might have been colleagues), so when she ordered a drink, she took it outside. Outside there were two more woman and a tatted up male. What do you think would have happened if she had sat at an empty booth inside? What if she were me, and I'd sat at an empty booth inside? I think she would either been ignored OR one of those men would have seen her presence as an invitation. They would not view my presence as any sort of invitation. Small, fun example, I think, of the work men need to do.

Using your definition, even gravity is a "theory", yet things still fall to the ground when we drop them from above.
