Unfortunately in Bay Area and specially at FAANG you need 0% of job "Requirements" on your resume as they will leetcode the shit out of you in the interview without asking one relevant question pertaining to your resume or even to the actual job. One of the reason given for this is that the stack used at these companies is completely homegrown so your experience using framework $X for $Y years has no relevance

I don't understand your complaint here. Your issue is that a site written with a JS framework doesn't load without JS? The HN anti-JS brigade will never cease to amaze me.

You think the 0.001% of people who browse with JS disabled are the primary target for such a website?
I don't particularly worry about that stuff, honestly. It's more of a feeling of "I don't feel like I deserve this level of success when I didn't go through the proper steps".

I also don't have much interest in management/directing, though your statement probably applies to individual contributor roles.
I agree. I appreciate that you _can_ disable JavaScript, but I don't really think of it as a realistic option for using the web in 2018, and certainly not for the average user wanting to do average things.

> if you are a woman in a male dominated field you're likely to be highly competent

In my experience it's the opposite. Like with small countries: the odds they produce someone extremely good at a certain sport is just smaller than in large countries, so large countries are more likely to win some world cup or the Olympics. I know only a handful of women in IT to begin with, but most of them aren't great at it.

But that's not your point. You're saying that there are biases in hiring, and I agree. What I'm surprised by is that the article quotes them saying that they now find it very hard to judge someone. Who would say, alongside a press release about anonymous applications, that they find it difficult to base their judgement solely on only relevant information?
Getting both your money and your social relationships from one place seems like a horrible idea to me, like putting all your retirement into a single stock.

Suddenly I'm reminded of my favorite horror story, "Doing Business in Japan", which depicts a society where your employer is God-Emperor of your Life. Marrying the expectation that you carve every bit of yourself off to resemble what the Company wants, along with the knowledge that your economic and social life can be ended by anyone above you in the org chart having a bad day, seems like a truly horrifying combination.

Ask HN: Infertility struggle and work performance
My work performance suffered due to the emotional toll of several failed treatments in last 2 years. I did not share this with my coworkers. As a result, I lost my job, self esteem and positive outlook on life. Can anyone relate to this and offer advice on finding a good balance between personal life and career?
I made an account just to say as a frustrated person on a job search right now with pretty good qualifications what you are doing is silly.

BOTH of your examples are things that in no way whatsoever make you liable legally and you have no reason not to tell the candidate in either situation. You could literally tell the candidate even vaguely that there might be issues that will take awhile to clear up before the company can make a hiring decision. You can vaguely say that these are based on internal business processes that you aren't at liberty to explain.

Please TELL the candidate that they did well and you would hire them and might be interested in hiring them in the future if not for 'vague thing that lets the candidate know it is the company and not you'. This is incredibly frustrating and there is no reason for lying about it.
>And infecting one species with a bacteria that alter's their reproductive system could never transfer to animals that consumes them?

...No.

> Wolbachia is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria that infects arthropod species, including a high proportion of insects, but also some nematodes. It is one of the world's most common parasitic microbes and is possibly the most common reproductive parasite in the biosphere.

>In early 2016, the [Eliminate Dengue] team discovered that the presence of Wolbachia bacteria in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes also inhibits replication of the Zika virus, in addition to dengue and chikungunya viruses. Since then, the World Health Organization (WHO) held an emergency session of the Vector Control Advisory Committee on developing a response to the Zika epidemic. At the session, WHO recommended that the Eliminate Dengue program proceed with pilot deployment of its Wolbachia strategy to build capacity to support operational use.

This is a well understood and widely regarded as safe method of dealing with mosquitos.

Does US anti-discrimination law really operate like "you have to serve the protected class whatever the consequences for unprotected ones?" European ones typically require both weak and strong classes be served equally, not in results, but in the manner and the matter.
Communism is not Good either I'd say. Better argument would be "Europeans at least liked Commies when they have taken over, Nazis just invaded everyone".

The best would be to just admit that Europe is wrong in censoring stupid far right (Nazis), while mostly ignoring stupid far left (Commies).

But some people liked the pseudo-communist regimes, while almost nobody liked Nazi occupation (which is still in fresh memory). So the opposition to banning Commies is real and noticeable. So not so simple.

Tl;dr: Simplified "moral standpoint" holds no water in these discussions.

I've never met a blacksmith, but I've met people in similar jobs (welders, etc) and I'm not sure I'd describe them as having "fun and joy at his craft". The best ones make it a point to be good at their work, for sure, but they make it a point to do their best at everything they do. I've met people at the top of their game who have won awards for their work, who tell me they have no passion for their profession. It's just what they happen to do for money.

I'm probably reading too much into this, like someone complaining that computers in a Hollywood movie are not technically accurate. Bloggers have re-invented fables, only this time with medieval trade unions instead of animals.

Aesop got this right. Nobody thinks he's making a judgment on the work ethic of tortoises. You use animals in morality stories for the same reason programmers use "foo" and "bar" in sample code. Write about blacksmiths and you risk naive people like me thinking that you actually mean a real blacksmith.

This article hints at it, but this is the list price that nobody actually pays. Manufacturers offer discounts to pharmacies that lower the net price.

So in fact, this drug could be cheaper than the Mylan version, but it looks like they never dug in deeper to find out if it's true.

Second of all, the first generic approved gets 180 days of market exclusivity whereby the FDA will not approve any other generic versions. This is such that the generic manufacturer can recoup the investment prior to widespread competition that drives down prices.

For example, Lipitor went generic and the price dropped only ~10-20%. After the 180 days, multiple generic companies got approval and now the price is 80-90% lower.
> email tracking links ... domains have nothing in common with the destination URL

The tradeoff has been CNAME-ing your own subdomain to your Email Service Provider’s tracking domain, which gets you a recognizable(-ish) URL, but has historically prevented https links, or using the ESP’s tracking domain directly, which allows https but makes sketchy-looking URLs.

I’d think Let’s Encrypt would make it possible to offer https on white-labeled (CNAME’d) tracking domains. Seems like an opportunity for some enterprising ESP.

(Yes, two other options are not tracking email links, or running your own tracking. I’m going to assume these are not realistic for most marketing departments.)

I have a friend who's in jail for ~14 years now after hitting a third strike law with a fraud of ~ 30 million dollars.

Long story short, he did it because he was really good at it and got better over time. You don't knock something like this out without having done a lot of smaller stuff first, and by the time you get to this level of skill and sophistication, it's because it's easier to do this, and the skills you've built up don't apply well to real world jobs, or if they do at all, they don't pay nearly as much as you can get paid by running the scam, and with all that skill and experience, the risk of getting caught does go down quite a bit.

Looks to me like a Green Card job. They wanted the job for an internal candidate and so they crafted in a way that only that candidate would meet it. The law requires them to advertise in a public newspaper of record or some such thing.

They can only really reject you for lack of qualifications for such a job ad by law so that's probably what happened. If it was open for a while, they probably have a few internal candidates they needed it for.
His charge of reckless driving was in 2017. In 2014, he received probation after pleading no contest to choking his terminally ill wife, whom in 2016 he divorced. And then got a contempt-of-court charge for not meeting the terms of the divorce settlement.

What does the probation/parole system have to do with his particular issues?
Of course there is, but when considering substitute employers, in the economic sense, working in a small-town software shop isn't quite the same as working at a multinational tech company.

If we're looking at it in that lens, then GP's problem isn't with Google, but with large tech companies in general because that's the industry standard.

Subresource Integrity. It’s designed specifically for this scenario: a resource included into your page from a seperate server that could potentially be compromised. Your hash the known good resource and include that hash in your script or link tags as an integrity attribute. When the user’s browser downloads the resource it’ll hash it again and check for a match. Only if the two match will it parse and execute the contents.

No, it isn't. The default strategy is not collusion. It's lowering the price to capture more of the market.
Employee Resource Group, I assume.
I'm the only person on my current team (an internally-focused engineering team) who has experience building websites/apps for external paying clients (e.g. people who will freak out if anything fails to load faster than they can blink, on their phone's 3G connection).

I was taken aback by how many times I had to argue with my team, our sister teams, our consultants/contractors, and even our (non-technical) leadership about NOT building a SPA when we came across 1 form in our large codebase that required some extra interactivity.

For some reason many developers seem to be fine turning a blind eye to the actual page-rendering time, maybe because it's hard to benchmark with tools? (although I'm skeptical of that). I find an overlap however in that those same developers seem to not understand why multiple database query roundtrips are worse than 1 query followed by some in-memory munging.

I'm sure I'm biased by my background, where we were profiling like mad, doing crazy things like purposely modifying images/hand-building sprites to pack better, minifying CSS before SASS/LESS existed, and every millisecond to finish rendering mattered. Good times.
This works when there are two people (who can maybe even use the same golf resorts), but it’s impractical when there are 10 or more since anyone has a temporary advantage to defect. That’s how free markets are supposed to work and I think people might expect that to happen here. It’s just that, as you noted, with only two particiants allowed in the market, forming a cartel is trivial.
I use Tracfone because it is cheaper if I don't need unlimited talk/text. I probably average around $10/month on my Tracfone for everything, as my data usage is very light, and I only use about 100 minutes of voice.

Hello everyone

After a few months working on BoostCollab, Ernesto and I are excited to share it with the community. We are very passionate about remote work and the potential to democratize opportunities all over the world. We started working on this project after reading a lot of articles from successful remote companies and learning how important is asynchronous communication for a distributed team. Asynchronous communication is key to the success of any distributed team and yet we are stuck with emails and real-time chats. Then, we started building something that we wanted for ourselves on our distributed team. We will love to hear from you.

Mental Health Care Increasing Most Among Those with Less Distress
Maybe. How intelligent are the resume scanners? Just a few years ago, I shotgunned my resume to a bunch of big companies and experienced something like:

Resume: "Ported XYZ from Angular to React, built a Rails app"

Response: "Sorry, we need someone with JavaScript and Ruby experience"

I think it's best to have two resumes, one that's more or less a big list of keywords, and another that you can show actual humans.
That's all fine as long as you are interacting with peers. I would never consider visiting any supervisor socially outside of work, especially at their home, however. Office holiday parties are sort of a gray area, but I skip those too out of principle.

Any company that owns 51% or more of another company has to put the owned company on their balance sheet.

It's legally a subsidiary and must have 'co mingled' accounting.

Also there's no reason for Alpha to break out revenues in their reports if they don't want to.

The whole point of Alpha was to in fact treat the sub companies as effectively independent, which is mostly what is going on.
I previously worked for a prescription claim processor and can answer this.

The unique thing about the Drug market is there are no knockoffs. A "Brand Name" drug in the USA has the _exact_ same active ingredients (and sometimes inactive, take inhalers) as the Generic. Even more hilariously, most drug companies will create a "generic" version of their drug as well as a "branded" because they can sell the same exact thing at a higher price point.
WHY THE US GOVERNMENT HITS AFRICA WITH EBOLA?
I think that level of security is only even possible at companies with small codebases or a high degree of siloing. I totally fit this description as a junior with 2 or 3 years experience at my first job where I wrote half the product. At my current job where I've been for 7 or 8 years I can't imagine anyone on any team ever achieving that. Maybe for a little while when you're working in some corner of the codebase that you happen to know really well, but not long term. There's just too many devs making too many changes and nobody "owns" any area. I bet a third to a half of the code I wrote 3 years ago is gone or heavily modified already.
> So for now I will continue learning more Python and perhaps in the future I'll look at Rust again.

Python doesn't have a specification either. It's also relatively complex (even if the code looks simple), and while it might not change fast, the big changes that were made weren't handled particularly well (2 -> 3).

The Rust folks seem to have learned a lot from other languages, both in terms of their successes and their failures. You can see this with things like Cargo, and how Rust editions are being handled.

I'm not saying don't learn Python, just that if you're willing to use Python, then I don't think your arguments against using Rust are particularly compelling.
My first job I had a machine so slow I could see the screen updates progress. For several months I did perf testing with a stop watch because changes would knock off so much time.
