It's a ridiculous headline that's for sure.

Electrified personal transport can help with the last mile but it's of no use if you never get to the last mile without a car.

Also, it's a scooter, "change the world"? If they mean by changing it from having x scooters on the market to x+1 scooters on the market then yes.
This is quite interesting. Would be nice to have error exit code as well, which is important for a CI workflow.
"quite liberal and tolerant"

The Bay has a kind of a specific moral view, which is sometimes applied in a fairly authoritarian manner.

It's not very Liberal, and arguably not hugely tolerant either.

For example, all sorts of activities which are common and normal in the rest of America and the world are either frowned upon, or considered fully uncool in the Bay. Things like fishing. Hunting. Most sports. Talking about sports. Twangy accents. Country music. This is a long list.

For example, promoting vegetarianism, and frowning upon those who are not (or forbidding it) as is now the case at 'We Work' - isn't remotely liberal. (Can you imagine if Texas Oil required their employees to be meat eaters?)

Though most of that won't get you in trouble in the Bay, it puts you in the 'out club' in much the same way that being a little bit to colourful or effete might put you in the 'out club' in Texas.

FYI - Having lived both in Texas and The Bay, I'm confident in saying that in the vast, vast majority of Texas you have nothing to worry about if you don't fit the Texas profile though in some legal cases it might be tricky. You just won't be 'cool' in their sense. There are tons of out gay people in Texas, working in all sorts of industries. It's not as good as the Bay, surely, but it's not hell on earth.

When I was in Texas, the ladies in the office would not have it that a young single man would be alone for Thanksgiving. They put myself and the other ex-pats into homes for the holiday dinner.

In Cali, nobody really cared about Thanksgiving, and certainly did not think to care that some people might be alone during this festive time.

Both areas have a general view of how things ought to be, and that view is applied sometimes in an authoritarian manner, and neither of them are hugely tolerant or Liberal. They have 'their ways'.
Little need for high speed rail when you’re talking about daily commuting. Personally may last five apartments have all been in short as in under five minute walking distance of a subway, that’s the advantage of living in high density areas.
For anyone who knows their stuff, this field is a golden ticket, and you don't need to work for some asshole like Bezos to cash it in.

The whole process outlined in the post was needlessly disrespectful of the candidate and his time.

I wouldn't excuse a Godless megacorp like Amazon with this awful scarcity mindset. It is poison.
But that doens't fit in line with the model of dystopian slavery and recruiting that people _like_ to imagine happens at large companies.
Hey, at least it was Amazon. I had a similar experience interviewing for an _airline_ company a few years back. A recruiter contacted me, mentioned a job opening they had. You know how job postings list 20 different “requirements” but they don’t expect you to actually have all of them? I actually did have expert-level experience at every single item on their list. They phone-screened me, brought me onsite for three in-person back-to-back interviews (during normal working hours, so I had to take time off of my then-current job to go interview). They called back a few days later and said they wanted to bring me back onsite AGAIN for a full day of back-to-back interviews. So I took another PTO day, showed up and interviewed for 6 hours (9 different interviwers) - only to never get another call back.
I don’t think that’s true for our interactions with the recruiter. At least the ones I have talked to, couldn’t care less about my work. They only care about the odds of me clearing the interview. Their behavior is linearly related to that.
Personal electric vehicles are completely symbiotic with public transit, that's why they're called "last mile" vehicles; because you take mass transit to within a mile or two, and then hop on your scooter, e-board, EUC to go the rest of the way.
I don't see how it addresses the issues in the research. Care to explain?

If min wage is set to X, anyone incapable of adding more then X to an employer is priced out of the job market. In this research the rise in wages resulted in reduced hours which were made up in neighboring markets which did not have this min wage.
It will be great when individuals learn to not conflate institutionalized schooling with education; they may overlap in the best of times, but stick you with a raw deal if one is made to think they must take out a bunch of un-dischargable debt in order to pursue knowledge…

Though that will never happen, masses of people will always seek the easy solutions that fill the void, and opportunists will be willing to sell them it along the way.
If you're familiar with Jesse Singal's journalistic work I think it's straightforward for us to consider what was meant above there.

The question is of "Fascism" Scope Creep, no? Accepting that big tech companies can decide what is and isn't ethical to "amplify" is going to quash some issues where all sides need to be heard and communicate with each other, into a one-dimensional conception of whatever the most popular liberal people think is over the line into "fascism" at a given historical moment. With millions of dollars a day of US military aid going to Israel, for one thing, and state officials pushing to ban boycotts explicitly in law, I don't think it's silly to worry about this.

I'll say I honestly don't know if Stripe and hosting sites dropping white nationalists sets such a uniformally bad precedent. The material reality of it is pretty good. I'm also not going to treat objectors who talk about free speech like children.
Was the admin able to unblock your coworkers?
It's java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(...), and normally you'd have "java.util.logging.Logger" imported.
I was addressing your inflation statement which is really not supported by evidence.

In terms of pricing people out of the workforce, that’s not nessisarily a bad thing on net assuming a strong safty net. But again separate argument.
I've tried Monal and wasn't impressed. Admittedly, it's been a while and I don't really remember why, so maybe I should give it another shot.
Both of your claims don't disagree with mine. The point is there are some bloatware apps that you can't uninstall, including Safari and iMessage. You don't have to use iMessage, but unlike on Android, it is impossible not to use it if you use SMS.
Amazon recruiters are some of the least organized. There have been times when I got contacted by 3 recruiters during same week but none of them knew about others. There have also been times when Amazon recruiter calls me and I tell them I was contacted before and they have no ability to verify or look up what happened before! Many of these recruiters also look like one-off vendors working on some twisted reward scheme so they often don't care about candidate experience or long term maintenance of information. There is simply no organizational memory of some very basic things like candidate profiles, pipelines, leads etc. Compared to this Google has invested enormously in maintaining beautiful detailed profiles of anyone who ever contacted them.

Perhaps one reason for this Amazon chaos is also that they really don't care about employee turnover. Attrition is the way to weed out less productive folks so you just keep hiring en-mass and keep firing en-mass. Someone might say this would create huge voids in project memory and continuity but its perhaps good because it forces to create documentation and other artifacts with assumption that others won't be around soon. This is very different than Google culture and it seems to have worked at least to some extent.
They cant without a legal reason. It's quite brilliant.
Yep, that's exactly what I meant
>I find a debugger just slows me down

1st you have to add the useless print statements and after decades of programming a debugger is vastly superios in terms of 'debugging' when compared to printing. (Back in time basic had no debugger even)

Also printing is utterly useless for high concurrent code, as printing alters memory visibility, usually adds global sync, etc..
It certainly breaks your claim and shows that Apple is the worst offender.
Anyone else find this reading a bit over dramatic. I don't find any horror here though I agree its not the best candidate experience and that is sad. However, horror story is just being dramatic because OP is salty he didn't get hired when he feels he is of the calibre to be hired at Amazon. Recruiters are non-tech and Google and Facebook have had timezone problems during my recruiting and this was only in US timezone so I imagine international this is even more horrendous.
One thing I didn't understand here was, what exactly does Segway have to do with electric scooters in the first place? Why do scooters need the fancy self-balancing tech from the original Segway, or, if that's not what it's doing, what are they doing? Surely it's not something as lame as having a bunch of patents on the idea of sticking a battery in a scooter?
I had similar experience with Uber last month. My recruiter scheduled an introductory phone call with me and then she forgot about it. The call was rescheduled and then she forgot again. On the third time she did call me but never apologized or anything. Then she scheduled a technical phone screen for me a few days later. On that day my interviewer called me two hours earlier than the scheduled time - no time zone difference, just that recruiter communicated wrong time to him. As it happened, I was in the middle of my lunch and caught off guard. The interviewer wasn't happy, so I guessed I didn't pass that phone screen, but the recruiter didn't even bother telling that to me - she just ignored my emails and she never even gave me her phone number.
P.S. I was invited to 6 onsite interviews in other companies and in the end I've got all 6 very good offers. So, good riddance, Uber.

> Increased wages by fiat long enough merely increase inflation.

If this is true then places with low minimum wage should also exhibit lower inflation than places with high minimum wage.

Can this be demonstrated?
> If I have a bag of indistinguishable rice corns

Ah, but they actually are distinguishable. If you checked them, their size will vary slightly, the exact position of the atoms making them up with be different, etc, etc.

If you tried, you would be able to find something different about every single grain of rice - even if you had to check at the atomic level.

The thing about this condensate is the atoms ARE truly indistinguishable. Their motion, energy, absolutely everything about this is exactly identical.

But what really makes them special is that they stay that way - they all move together. (At least until they get enough energy to break apart their bond.)

It's that last part that makes them into this "super atom" - they are all bonded together.
Yea the author insinuated that stock 3D libraries were also an advantage. Anyone who's worked in animation or video games knows you can't generally just grab a bunch of assets from a store and put them in a work and expect them to look like they belong to the same world. You're gunna have to do some shading work at the minimum.

Unless you happen to make movies that share very similar styles, such as Pixar, which already has a massive digital library of assets they pull off the rack whenever they want.

Another thing to look at is "Smash and Grab", which is the original talk about an internal Pixar project to give a small team a really small budget and timeline, no bureaucracy, but access to Pixar tech, and make a quality short film, and it's doing pretty well.
There's another big problem: People who choose valuable majors end up with classes that don't matter with professors that don't care, with a university that puts more effort and money into advertising than quality of life.

The fact that you have to spend 4 years to get a bachelors in something is complete BS. Padded time. Universities really don't pander to the 'market', they are their own market and you being prepared for the workforce is an afterthought based upon how much your instructor cares about it.

The only times these becomes exceptions is in Engineering, Law, and Medicine. Things that have dedicated schoolings for them. It's still padded but they have an explicit direction that feeds into a market.

I tried that when I was younger - but then I found out how much money it costs to attract and keep a girlfriend. Now I know how much money it costs to raise kids.
Letting "the market" decide what is and isn't valuable in terms of human knowledge seems dubious at best. We are talking about a system that prioritizes extraction of non-renewable resources to produce dumb shit like bluetooth toothbrushes.

Hi microcolonel. I've noticed that most of your comments lately are autodead, although some have been revived by people vouching for them. Checking through your history, I don't see any clear reason for this. You might want to email 'hn@ycombinator.com' and ask what's up.
Because I'm not as skilled at 1st drafts as you are, apparently.
The realization of that sort of idealism is so far fetched it doesn't change the argument. Sure, you could possibly get the USA to create laws to stop externalizing the costs of co2 production, but everyone, everywhere? Including the most corrupt, war torn, and penniless places in the world? And what about the deep state? They once sold cocaine to us citizens in order to raise money for black ops. Would they think twice about mining PoW?
Seems eminently fair and reasonable to me.

Elsever got a court to order a gross violation of net neutrality.

The ISP had no interest or desire to implement blocking of any sort. Once it's hand is forced via legal means, it needs to obtain that capability - and using it with discretion as a protest is a perfect demonstration as to why they should _not_ have that capability.
There are certainly conceivable changes to economic policy that result in net gains to all parties. There’s nothing theoretically impossible about arguing that such a thing has happened.
I like the way you sum this up Ixe. Your comment illicits a mental model like a manual transmission where the terrain (dynamics of the conversation) sets the context for what gear to select (which mods to have in place) , based on how much gas you are giving the engine, which is a personal choice of the driver. One driver may choose a very low gear to go down a hill (a conservative moderator that controls the decent of the vehicle) and another driver may wish to just coast down at high speed (very litte moderation). Same car, same terrain, different driver, different choice for what gear to keep it in. The mental model gets a little loose goosy when you consider that this is not a single person making the decision but rather a group, but oh well. Thanks Burak for making this platform. I'm really enjoying the ride so far!
I really don't know what's happening with Segway, but an antidote:

I was at the grocery store, and an older lady was riding one of those cheap-looking hover board type contraptions inside the store - except that there was a post, and seat attached to it. She was whizzing all over the place on it with ease and grace. It was an excellent sight.
Wow, that should not have happened. Can you let me know the name of the recruiter? You can email me at keith [dot] posehn [at] gmail

Sorry you had a bad experience and I'm bummed we lost you :(
Doesn't work with multithreaded applications and works poorly with non-deterministic behavior, so sometimes you just have to print lots of info and see if anything interesting pops up. It also requires knowledge about tooling for the language you're working on right now, which as a polyglot you might not care to learn.
Did you look at what the study considered "experienced?" It was "greater than 700 hours worked for the past two quarters," which is about 18 hours a week for the previous six months. All of these jobs can be considered the "lowest performing," and I'm not sure what part if the summary you think this contradicts.
> If this is true then places with low minimum wage should also exhibit lower inflation than places with high minimum wage.

The analog to minimum wage isn't rate of inflation, it's prices. Places with a lower minimum wage do have lower prices.

(The analog to rate of inflation would be rate of change in the minimum wage.)
How mapmakers help indigenous people defend their lands
Come to Detroit where our only public transport options are "SMART" (slow) buses, the Detroit People Mover (a joke that barely circles a small area downtown), and the newly built Q-line that travels only a few miles straight back and forth.

IMO the addition of birds and limes has been really nice.
I hear about companies telling candidates they "can't code" or "can't communicate" a lot. This just seems like a really rude and arrogant thing to tell someone. If you want to give a candidate feedback, give specific feedback and give it politely. The people who want to improve will get the picture. If you don't want to, just thank them for their time and interest.

Other than that, I think you're right. Some of this was really pretty normal and not worth being upset about.
A policy that is generally break even from an efficiency standpoint but reduces unwanted negative outcomes like poverty and income inequality is a clear win.
> But a new paper by the same authors (Sci-Hub mirror) shows that the rising minimum wage generated major increases for the workers who had the most hours, whose hours were only cut a little, but still came out ahead thanks to the wage increase; workers with fewer hours saw no financial harm from the rising minimum wage, working fewer hours and bringing home the same sum; and they found some harm to people who had the smallest number of hours) (which may actually reflect stronger demand for workers and fewer workers in this category of very-low-hour work).

Is this actually reversing the claim? Or just making a narrower claim that the minimum wage hike increased some workers. Most claims around the negative effects of minimum wage say that workers will lose employment - not that those workers who remain employed will suffer. By restricting the conclusion to "the workers who had the most hours, whose hours were only cut a little" essentially dodges the question of whether the change benefited workers as a whole.

Ultimately, though, this is a subjective questions. If you have 10 workers, making $12.50 an hour and if you had the option of making 9 of them get $15.00/hr but one of them gets fired is it a good outcome? The pool of workers are making a greater amount of money (it "breaks even" as other commenters have put it), but does that $2.50 an hour increase for 9 workers offset the negative of one of them getting fired? Maybe getting fired has less tangible effects that make the net increase not worth it. That fired worker may end up on the streets. Is instability of income is a greater problem than low income? I'm not saying there is any right answer here, my whole point is that it's subjective to determine what outcome is better.

Nit-picking a specific claim made in the article, but I honestly don't believe Lisp would be any less confusing to new programmers than Java. In fact, I think it would probably just confuse them more.
> an antidote:

Definitely an antidote to making them “cool”.
It's ironic that the author claims that Common Lisp is easier to learn than Java. One of the most common pro-Lisp, anti-Java arguments I hear is that Java is too easy to learn, so that a lot of people who aren't actually very good at programming can get Java jobs. This means that the Java world is populated with not-so-bright people, while the rarefied Lisp world is full of elite wizards.
> It’s really not about education it’s about credentials.

Credentialisim, yes, even better…

The trite Robin Hanson argument goes "X is not actually about X", where here X is education.[0]

>It’s really not workers who can decide to stop playing that game.

It's about people making choices. A lot of people choosing to go in debt without realistic options to pay it off, a lot of people thinking un-dishcharable debt by the federal government is a good thing, and a lot of people thinking they must enforce the above because reasons.

Indeed. And certainly since rotation matrices and quaternions are both representations of rotation, they should have a log that is isomorphic.

Wilder still is the log of a 4x4 transformation matrix has the same tangent-vector properties, giving a coordinate-system-invariant rotation and translation.
IOHK (Cardano) has proven that PoS is just as safe as PoW with actual mathematical proofs that are peer reviewed by actual cryptography professors. This is actually a big step forward as we now have trust that there's a system that acts the exact same way as PoW but in a vastly more energy efficient way in PoS. This almost relegates PoW to a legacy technology as there's no reason to use it anymore.

SYNCHACKTECH: A GOOD CREDIT  REPAIR
Couple of months back I applied for a loan, my goal for the year was getting a new and comfortable home for me and my family. But my bad credit report was really challenging My score was around 417 few late payment, medical bills, collection report on my credit report. I contacted my business associates about my situation we booked an appointment to see how we could sort it out finally we hooked up. He recommended SYNCHACKTECH CREDITREPAIR and said I should contact him which I did and he quickly replied me and then gave me he’s private number to text him which I did. I got to introduce myself formerly and explain my situation to him which he gave me a positive response. He collected a few information to get the job done and in 5 days my credit became amazing and my scores was moved up to a high 800. I’m so happy to tell you am writing from my new home I and my family we say a very big thank you to (SYNCHACKTECHCREDITREPAIR@MAIL.COM or 8646570231) contact him today.
