The Long(er) Read

We all know companies that have transformed industries (e.g., Google, Netflix, Spotify) by analysing information about you and giving you personalised suggestions that seem to know you better then even yourself – but where is the equivalent for jobs? Netflix’s recommendations are not based on “back of the box” blurbs - instead, they extract traits from movies and match them to your taste, based on your interactions. So why are we still evaluating people based on their “blurbs,” i.e. their CVs?

We use a combination of unique behavioural data, machine learning, and of course efficient product development, to go beyond the CV and find patterns that humans would otherwise not detect (at least not at scale).

Our longer-term goal is to be not only a preferred destination for transactional hiring, but a compelling, intuitive guide to planning and executing your career goals.

We have just closed a successful fundraising round and are expanding our team! This is a super exciting time to join, as it’s still early enough that you'll help us shape the foundations of the platform and tackle some very interesting problems, yet we’ve already got enough usage, traction and data that you'll have a real, immediate effect on people's lives.

We are very serious about finding the right mix of talent, passion and ownership that meets our values, and is necessary for an ambitious early-stage startup. As we grow, the expectation is that you will too. All doors are open, from diving deeper into a technical speciality, to moving sideways into another area, to mentorship and leadership roles - in the end, it's down to you, your goals and your performance.

If you want to be a part of a big, ambitious story, let's chat!
On the other hand let's not get complacent.

At all.

It is an infringement. I certainly don't think I should have to explain everything in my bag to little hitlers.

I'm willing to entertain arguments that it is a worthwhile trade-off, but we must acknowledge that it is an infringement on everyone's rights.

Every additional infringement should come with a justification, an analysis considering whether it will be effective, and a harm minimisation strategy.
> On voting day, there is an army of us temps working at polling places all over town from 6am until 10pm or later, for about $150.

That's generous. In Germany, the usual compensation for working 12-14 hours at a polling place is 30-50 € (35-57 $). Yet there are plenty volunteers (including me). Many like the idea of fulfilling some civic duty, especially one that's a one-day job instead of a long-term office.
At the same time, the past is now fully documented. The knife cuts at both sides.
Safari hasn’t joined the standards yet. You can do one code base for FF and Chrome, but Safari is a totally different beast.
It wouldn't stop those things though, there will always be a weak point. What it would do is erode the rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens (something that terrorists seem to want).

Furthermore, if you want to stop drug trafficking, legalize them.

How about "Apple stops shipping out-of-date versions of open sourced server daemons (for which they had created a minimal GUI)"

Not that having a minimal GUI isn't nice for users with minimal technical skills, provided that you keep up with current versions.

However, the Server "version" of OSX has long been nothing more than an application that installs a version of several open sourced server daemons along with a enough of a GUI to configure the basics.
Why the World Needs a Basic Stipend
You were already given a lot of consideration with a 3 month out start date, in my opinion. I haven't seen that very often outside of executive-level positions myself, but my experience may be limited.

Asking for 5 months, with potentially another delay (you asked once, why not again?), would put me firmly (as a hiring manager) into "find another person" mode as you've proven unreliable before you even started. I didn't hire someone to not have them working, and 5 months is a very long time in most tech endeavors.

Laws are irrelevant.

What are you, the individual, going to do when a border agent takes your device and demands your password? “We’re just going to take this for a few minutes, what’s your password? Oh you won’t tell us? Sit in this room for 400hrs. Ok, thank you, you’re free to go, enjoy your stay.”

Nothing. There’s nothing you can do.

Lodging complaints after the fact doesn’t unviolate you.

You can be a renown children’s author and the best you can hope for is an apology.

The Myth of the Infrastructure Phase and Web 3.0
Unless you are against state intervention in cases like these, then you are already accepting that the state can interfere. At that point the question is a matter of degree

I just can't be charitable with the whole "well the state already does..." arguments.

In free societies, the state interfering with child rearing is a serious matter.

In totalitarian regimes, it's par for the course.
Yes, I should have included this in my post, it's another perfect example of bringing the theoretical to the real world view.
Interesting real challenges. Definitely the cons of an extension for a product like Everhour.
This story doesn't sound beleivable. As soon as the agent starts attempting commands, they'd see it's not DOS.

To be honest, the whole secret is in the product itself. At the very beginning we wanted to do everything faster - more features, more blog posts, more visitors, more backlinks etc. Did not work well.

Then we decided to stop - pause any ads and promotion and 100% concentrate on the product, improve everything we have, do not add any big features. We talked a lot with our customers, found out what they liked/disliked the most. I would say that this is what helped our product. At that time we completely rewrote the whole project.
We use the term “moed indrinken”, if that is what you mean.

I did a bit of science as an undergrad and a bit more in grad school. I learned a few things, chiefly, that I suck at statistics and won't make a good formal scientist. But the other main takeaway was that when results look strikingly obvious and "beautiful" they're usually just wrong. I did GIS so the statistical data was usually in the form of big colourful maps. And when those maps told such an obvious story, they were really telling me that I messed something up in my processing.

Not that this is universally true, but it's what I found to be pretty common over the years.

The pay users to see ads thing has been going around in ad circles for a long time, but seems to be fundamentally misplaced. Advertisers at that point are paying more than they need to (to get the message to the user) and the results will be skewed (by people who are trying to make money) resulting in declining and inefficient performance. It also means the advertiser is trying to pay the user and hopefully get them to pay them back in return by purchasing their product, which leads to a broken cycle.

As long as they do it sparingly, it may be ok. But going from the experience of the between-seasons episode of Stretch Armstrong that one of the grandkids likes to watch, I'd be really annoyed if they did that treatment to any of my favorite shows.

First, when I sit down on the couch to watch TV, I want to relax and have the entertainment fed to me. If I want to play a video game, I'd fire up the Atari system. Really don't want to be jumping for the remote and make a decision several times in the show, and keep track of all the plot lines so I can see everything.

Now if you can set it to not prompt you, but randomize each pivot point, and / or give each permutation a number that you can select at the beginning, then it may be interesting to watch the episode multiple times to catch each variation.
True! Though Khosla making that choice seems.....unlikely.

Wouldn't it be possible to conveniently hide your usual filesystem from the border officers by using the new APFS shared-filesystems-in-single-container feature, without having to pre-allocate and waste space for an additional hidden data partition?

Just install macOS like you normally do, set it up with a user and some basic data. Then create a new partition in the same container and install what you normally use (or even clone the first one, if that's possible).

Then set the basic one as default boot source, and hold alt on boot to select the other one to get work done.

A light version of the "hidden encrypted volume" solution, without any risk of overwriting your files.

Hey everybody, this individual is evading customs!

Ground water depletion is a big problem. The issue generally is whenever lower level ground water is cannibalized without giving it enough time to replenish water level tends to go deeper. This turns into a vicious cycle and destroys the ecosystem it sustains on the surface. Many parts of India people are drilling 500+ ft. to tap into ground water and now that everyone is forced to dig even deeper.
It's not entirely just a heuristic, but does have a Bayesian interpretation in many circumstances.

Looking at the study on judge's sentences before and after meals, you wouldn't expect to see a giant effect, but seeing some kind of an effect is a priori plausible, since we know many people are irritable when hungry.

When you see an unusually large effect size, it's often the case that there is a smaller effect, but you happened to get some extreme data. You definitely shouldn't jump to the conclusion that the effect size is large if you think it is a priori unlikely to be so large (unless you have very high statistical power). As you say, the results shouldn't be discarded, though.

edit: If an effect is incredibly improbable (like a relation between country music and suicides), evidence can still sway the belief against it. However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
BBOXX | Software Engineer | London | Onsite

BBOXX provides affordable energy to off grid customers in sub-Saharan Africa using an innovative IOT based solar kit combined with cashless digital payments. We are looking for experienced developers to maintain and break our back-office solution into focused micro services.

Apply: https://bboxx.workable.com/jobs/774071

About BBOXX

Lack of energy access in sub-Saharan Africa is a significant problem, with more than 600 million people currently without mains electricity supply. In Rwanda, 9.5 million people or 81% of the population cannot access mains electricity, which has a negative impact on quality of life and limits people's chances of achieving economic prosperity.

BBOXX is helping to address this issue by providing off-grid communities in developing countries with affordable solar energy solutions. BBOXX customers typically use a Pay-As-You-Go payment method, which enables very low income customers access to electricity at home that they would otherwise not be able to afford. To date BBOXX has installed more than 150,000 solar systems and provided around 750,000 people with access to energy.

It does make a difference, though, in that at least you would know what was done with your device. (especially if you are the one actually handling the device)

I can see plenty of those inspection scenarios where I would not want to crush my device into pieces afterwards. And plenty of others where I would. There lies the difference.
And that’s a good thing. I’m always concerned about using anything that I like that doesn’t have a profit seeking business strategy.
I completely agree that is reasonable they ask me to honour it, but at the same time when we agreed on the date, they told me that "they just needed some date" in order to aim for it, or something to that effect.

> The beneficial effects of penicillin are "impossibly large" - would we reject the evidence on those grounds?

I think you miss the point -- the efficacy of penicillin is obvious to anyone, whether they've taken statistics or not.

The authors point, as I understand it, is that if the effects are so very large they should be obvious to a=even a casual observer. If the effect is so large it's impossible for them to be surprising.
