The objective is also to ensure that the structural problems do not prevent you from finding, attracting and/or promoting great candidates from underrepresented groups. The default process does not let them shine, and does not appreciate the value in the diversity that they bring to a team.

If I'm going to set up a medical team, I don't want the best and most lauded 4 surgeons in the world, I want only 1 of those so I can also have the best anesthesist (sp?), the best physio, the best psychologist... you get the idea. (Edit not you in particular, of course... I mean everyone)

"Culture fit" has become an accepted "soft" value for which a technically superior candidate may be passed over; why this resistance to diversity as a soft value too? New points of view, new mental patterns, new sources of inspiration... that is better than the same pov repeated 4 times. Why does it need to be explained over and over? (we know why, whether we like it or not) It doesn't mean diversity takes precedence over other soft or hard skills and valuable aspects of a candidate, it just means it takes is place among them.

I haven't watched that talk, but in the past I've done this by LD_PRELOADing a shared object that injected a seccomp filter on init with SECCOMP_RET_TRAP as appropriate and then rewrote the saved thread state higher up the stack to simulate the syscall / replace the return value. It worked pretty well.

I assume they do that by tracking how many Androids are at a given location; so that doesn't count those who are using iOS. Given Android's dominance though, not counting iOS devices might not be even skew the results significantly.
The community college also has an automotive repair program. You’d be hard pressed to find a decent school with an IT or any other of these vocational programs at their main campuses.

That’s because it trains for the job, not for the field. While you’d probably get up and running easier with an IT degree since you know the current tooling, you’d be worse off than someone with the conceptual knowledge that comes with a more general CS degree, and you’d therefore have a tougher time adapting to whatever new technology that didn’t exist in your IT program but was touched on conceptually in the CS coursework.
Yeah, I see the biggest problem here when existing code which ran fine never got the maint it needed to scale up the team, so they throw more bodies at the issue instead of pay to fix the code.

Crypto Trading 2018 in Review: I backtested 32 strategies with full year of data
That has not been my experience as an interviewee. Implementing the naive solution for small n has been well received in my interviews, and from there (imperfectly) optimizing it is a collaborative experience.

I don't doubt you've experienced differently. But if you have, I think it's likely the interviewer, not the question. Lots of interview questions can be abused, not just basic algorithms and data structures questions.
If I had to write a fresh impl of BFS I for sure wouldn't just go off what my algorithms book said a decade ago. I'd reference how other languages and frameworks have implemented and matured the problem in actual deployment and use their versions as a basis of mine (assuming license compatibility).

Writing code in a vacuum is humongously dangerous even for simple things like piping strings. Its why so much C software ends up chock full of overflows, segfaults, and myriad security vulnerabilities.

Thanks! I somehow missed that.
If anyone doesn't remember this (perhaps you weren't around then) it's worth reviewing this when you read the absurd statements made about China.

Yes China is big, yes china is (still) growing fast, yes China wants to be more powerful on the world stage. And yes, China raises some challenges/risks to the western/OECD countries. But the level of the risks as they are today and in the near future are significantly overblown because to do so is useful to those who bang the drum.

And china itself faces many internal structural risks which are underweighed (or flat out ignored) both by those who want to tout China as a risk and by the Chinese government itself.

My favorite deal of the 1980s (1990) was when Martin Davis sold Pebble Beach to a Japanese developer. This was widely described in the press as evidence that the Japanese were about to take over the US (OMG the real estate value of the imperial palace exceeds the entire real estate value of California!!!!). Of course a few years later it was back in the hands of its original owners, the Pebble Beach company, for less than the Japanese buyers had paid. Now one story doesn't make a trend, but this high profile one is indicative of the situation. Some low-publicity slow-and-steady purchases have done well and the same in reverse (US companies in Japan). I expect the same with China.

> Stop assuming that people from underrepresented groups are inherently unqualified.

They're not. They are commenting how the criteria for hiring changed to include other attributes not related to skill.

If I hire people based on a mix of skill and how much they like baseball, I am inherently hiring on a different measuring stick. I could end up hiring someone with the most skill out of the hiring pool, but that doesn't matter - I'm not hiring based on skill, I'm hiring on some combination of skill and baseball.

It does not mean that the person who gets hired isn't the most skilled. But it also does not mean that the person who gets hired is the most skilled. I stopped caring about hiring the most skilled the moment I added a largely arbitrary hiring attribute into the requirements, how much they like baseball.

Generally I have a problem with this, but I think it's less of a problem than people make it out to be. Yes, we are not hiring based on skill alone.. but, we never were. We were hiring based on skill, attitude, work ethic, how they work with people, etc. A long laundry list of things we want a candidate to be, and difficult to figure out to boot. So yea, if we stop hiring whites because we've got too many, we may miss out on some skill - but when so many of the hiring requirements are vague, difficult to judge and largely a meta-game itself, we stopped caring about hiring skill long ago. Hell, even skill is difficult to judge.

Plus, eventually it'll even out. Suddenly we'll have to stop hiring minorities because there's too many in X company. Which is ironic heh. In the same way that males in some colleges are becoming a minority. Irony.

Hi HN,

Please, feel free to contact me if it could be interesting for you as well. It doesn't matter whether you are a native speaker or not.

About me: I'm a 25 years old guy from Russia. Got a Bachelor degree in Finance & Economics. Founded a travel tech startup, raised a seed round for it.

My language proficiency: Advanced or close to it.
My interests: startups, tech, AI, rationality, productivity, mindfulness, books and everything you want to talk about (I'm quite intellectually curious).

Preferred format: 1-hour Skype calls

My email: em137u@gmail.com
Is it harassment to know that other people don't like you? I've seen (and held) opinions on both sides: middle-school me would've said yes, adult me says no.
Given that the hiring process has time constraints (however you do hiring, you can’t use infinite time, so you need to pick what you’ll include in the process), why use time testing the candidate’s ability of something that might be necessary in the job. Wouldn’t that time be better served testing something you know will be necessary?
I've seen plenty of sophisticated models that developers use to answer this type of question. Why can't we have the same level of effort applied to the problem of housing accessibility?
Most state explicitly do not allow a person to give up their right to sue based on discrimination. Such a contract would be unenforceable and perhaps even used as evidence in a discrimination case.

It's not really that surprising considering Russia has a century long supremacy in this area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures

Nowadays it seems to lack some of the professionality of former times and sometimes looks more like hobby projects of Kremlin figures and Oligarchs to curry some favour.

Tradition, local competency, low cost and risk due to social platforms and online news make it a good fit for present day Russia.

> Would this pass your interview process or not?

Yes, that sounds very reasonable.

> Do you want someone who's going to brute force an answer to your toy problem and think they've solved it with something that works but is inefficient, or someone who has memorised a collection of standard answers but maybe can't improvise something new, or someone who is going to check what's already available to save time, or someone who can improvise a super-efficient answer and do it even if it's not needed?

First of all, let's talk about what I don't want. I don't want someone who can't solve the most basic problems. I'm not interested in all these details at this point in the process. Don't get stuck in analysis paralysis.

> Do you really think this question has a simple answer?

No, but it's not the question I am asking. My question would be, can you solve basic problems? I'm not looking for 100% accuracy in testing, that's impossible. Surely some kid fresh out of college will get an "unfair advantage" with something that's still on their mind, while some genius may have a bad day and fumble the test. I wouldn't personally pick BFS as a test either, but the fact that you should be able to solve it remains. The fact that "you may never need it" is irrelevant.

I did a quick scan of the top 20 companies, and I found about 10 people who plausibly looked over 40, and maybe 2 who cracked 50. Maybe I missed a few, but I feel certain that I am directionally correct.

Maybe SaaS isn’t a domain for older people, but somehow I imagine that there is no shortage of folks over 40 who could add significant value to these companies if they could get past the “culture fit” filter.

I will also add that while women seem to be decently represented, black people do not seem represented at all. I found 1 in the top 20 companies in a quick scan.
To answer this well, there are a few additional details needed:
1. How often does the model need to be retrained?
2. What's the output of your model?
3. You say training takes a day - if you had the parameters, how long does it take to process?
I find this interesting, because my old Apple Time Capsule was doing just fine for well over a year, especially when I changed settings to use only 5GHz and eschew all backwards compatibility. But a few months ago, I started having to occasionally reconnect machines on wifi. My wife's machine on the wired network isn't subject to this, either. I wonder if people in my apartment are experimenting with this.

My point was that you should be comparing production and consumption directly. Of course electric is better, we wouldn't have EV's otherwise.
For your aspirin example, you can already do that without breaking any laws, and you will still get medical care in pretty much any country. Not that many people do it, and medical costs haven't been ruined by people chugging aspirin.

For instance, if there were a way to make yourself extremely susceptible to becoming obese with $20 on-the-fly gene editing, presumably you (or medical staff) could reverse that. And I can't imagine many people doing the first thing.
Did you comment on the wrong topic perhaps?

I do not agree that it "has completely different semantics". It has far more in common than not. Its close enough that I, as a long time Ruby developer, had no issues being productive with it in a very short amount of time. The syntax and API are similar enough that most Rubyists are going to be very happy and comfortable. Then when they see the benchmarks they will be even happier!

Absolutely this. The better question is, given several data sets, how would you approach traversing them. What is your intuition, and what are the limits of your awareness of how to approach the problem.

That is actually informative on your programming ability, not regurgitating buzzwords (albeit BFS is a light one) or rote memorization.

Like just hearing these kinds of questions is infuriating because I often immediately ask things like "is the data processing complex enough to justify threading it? what are the synchronization points? if the data processing is variable, we probably want a job pool, etc". The performance of code is almost always noninutitive until you have an implementation done in order to optimize it, and questions about searching graphs are almost always these "optimize light" problems where they want you to really know how to do the navigation right because of my precious 10 cycles per branch but don't want to even consider the operating environment that could influence the decision in anything but a purely academic setting.

From the very beginning you're adverse to speaking to those that do not agree with your viewpoints? Unpopular opinion: I don't care about diversity. I care about being an individual and finding my own ways around obstacles in life, a strong family unit, consistent values - practiced daily. As for Sophia - it's not society's job to ensure your comfort. Sophia is a biological white male, no? I guess that makes your crusade easier when you despise what you once were.

> I find the article presenting "screen time" as if it's a single thing highly problematic

You have a great point about the multi-modal use of screens, but the Nature article isn’t the source of the lumping. Society at large, especially parents and educators and politicians, are the people concerned about screen time in general, regardless of task.

Much to your point, this article is doing the important work of actually demonstrating that general screen time may not be the sky-is-falling concern that many have, and people who are painting screen time in general as something bad might be overstating or exaggerating the problems. Perhaps there are specific uses that are bad; we may need to ask more specific questions, or we may discover that there are both advantages and disadvantages to the global social change in screen time, and it can’t be simplified into calling it a net negative.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Whether or not you agree with the conclusions, there are very real concerns about the externalities of self gene-editing.
All I asked is why you believe the price of altering your genetic material is proportional to fixing any mistakes which arise as a consequence. Legaility has nothing to do with it.

"If all forms of legitimate trading on material nonpublic information were illegal, then information asymmetry in the market would be outlawed."

FWIW, I'm not expressing an opinion on insider trading, just arguing that this specific claim is overly broad.

If your only relation with a company is to own stock in it, you're not an insider, but any research you do may be based on public information, but is nevertheless material and as private as you keep it.

And there's a lot of research to do. The economic fable "I, Pencil" is about the sheer number of firms that any given firm is indirectly dependent on and indirectly affects. Thus, if you see shocks affecting any upstream suppliers, the shocks are public information but your knowledge that it's relevant to the firm you're invested in is private to you.
Do you have a source for this? Because as the founder of Facebook is jewish, Facebook might not be a representative sample. I.e. it's expected, since a large part of his social circle (family, friends) are also jewish.
I now recall that the claim was not that the image sensor itself fluoresced or raman scattered or whatever in a characteristic way, but that it was the IR blocking filter before the sensor...

this immediately makes the setup less usefull for surveillance cameras as they will typically not be optimized for color fidelity, but for light sensitivity, so without IR filter...

Nevertheless I would still be interested in more details or the exact mechanism or references...

Lucky you! My #1 electric is a 1980 Tokai Breezysound. It's just amazing.

It stomps just about every other electric I've played.
