I don't totally buy this argument. It's not cheap to hire. They might have increased the number of candidates in the pipeline sure, but I don't think the turnaround time to hire is any less. Also, there's the paradox of choice. The more candidates you have, the harder it is to hire. You actually need to apply filters to reduce the overall quantity you will pick from.
It probably needs that for contact lookups and insights, since you can compose invites using natural text.

I'm not comfortable with it either to be honest, seeing that it could delete contacts according to Google's prompt.

This was a shameful crime that occurred at the highest levels in Silicon Valley. This illegal cartel should have been prosecuted under RICO laws with CEOs taken away in hand cuffs. Instead, the worker bees got peanuts. I received a $1300 settlement instead or the hundreds of thousands in lost wages that I was robbed of.

>American conservatism is authoritarian.

That's funny, I don't see how you got there though. Liberals seem to engage in authoritarian tactics quite often from what I can see. Demands for censorship seems to come from there.

>Why do you believe your taxes going up is a problem when you will be paying much less overall?

And then they counter with: If people will get better healthcare then somebody will have to pay for it. I like my current healthcare, so I'm going to be the one that has to pay for those other people.

Now the onus is on you to prove to them that their costs won't increase. You'll find it very difficult, because those costs probably will increase.

>The clarifying factor where you hold the cards and knowledge, and they don't (and therefore feel shame) is the simple fact that universal, taxpayer-funded healthcare is far cheaper than private healthcare.

What's your evidence for that? Because if you're going to cite other countries then you also have to keep in mind that they have a completely different structure for healthcare outside of whether the government pays for it or not. The US does more biomedical research than other countries, doctors are paid more, more treatments are available etc.

I don't think it's nearly as easy to try to convince someone that universal healthcare is cheaper or better. Also, when you say universal what do you mean? Universal, where everyone gets it or the 'universal' that some (many?) countries do, where you have to be employed and pay over a certain amount of tax to get healthcare or healthcare is predicated on you having mandatory insurance?
Why does it need to be able to delete contacts & calendars:

- See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts

- See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar

So, I am a bit paranoid, but I bet some on HN will enable this for their corporate calendars. If I were a government-sponsored entity or small organization I would definitely spend a few grand on designers & engineering to create a product like a calendar or a shiny new email client to learn some trade secrets. Just saying... why hack your way into a corp when you can ask nicely to walk in the front door.
Capitalist: I firmly believe in demand and supply economics. That is why I raise my prices all the time!

Also capitalists: I refuse to raise my wages in response to a low supply labour market for my labour demands. I will instead lobby the government to let me hire wage slaves that I can abuse from overseas labour markets where living costs are much lower.
AI-powered? As if calendars weren't incomprehensible enough, now you'll need to reach fourth level support (that one PhD graduate who is chained to their desk) to understand why your second Sunday every quarter, 9:00 Europe/Oslo to 12:00 next day Pacific/Auckland event now occurs every Monday.
I looked at Imgui before for a project, but decided not to go with it since the examples are all over a hundred lines long, for example:

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/examples/exampl...

It seems like there is a lot of setup / configuration code necessary to wire up Imgui with the graphics rendering back-end.

Note that I haven't used Imgui in a real-world project yet. Does anyone know of a better way to set-up Imgui that does't need all this configuration code?
I did a coding boot camp and oh man half the class was IMO unemployable as far as a job coding goes.

"The initial tests completed successfully but the final test resulted in an anomaly on the test stand."

The point of "diversity training" is that so when a company gets sued for discrimination, their HR department has documentation that the malefactor involved underwent diversity training. This proves that the issue is with specific people (who are now fired) not following policy, rather than something systemic.

If you want to know whether diversity training works, you have to first identify what it is supposed to do - that is, reduce corporate liability.
> they assumed I was lying about my current salary and I was just bluffing

That's commonplace, I've heard many engineers say they overstated their current salary. When I'd apply for jobs, I'd include a copy of a paystub, because I knew the companies knew about the practice and would discount the offer accordingly.
I’ve only ever seen this handled with VPN, and the answer there is that you’d need to launch another vpn server in the right vpc/subnet if one went down (or have failover setup).

It looks like there’s some benefits with bastion hosts around locking down commands & access in a fiber-grained way from vpn, but man what a pain in the ass. I can see a certain perspective that would really care to do things this way but VPN from my cold dead hands.
Maybe the PR department should have more say in the naming process.

A Working Mathematician’s Guide to Parsing
Talent shortage and sucker shortage are not mutually exclusive. In fact, there is good evidence that the former can drive the latter. Basically, most of the talentless people also tend to lie about their experience, educational background, knowledge level, previous salaries, career preferences, etc to compensate for their lack of talent. It does NOT work of course, most of the time, but what do they stand to lose?
So, when this goes on for some time the HR departments start to assume everybody is a talentless, lying, P.O.S. as it is simply cheaper and less taxing on corporate resources to go with that assumption if the majority of interviewers truly are like that. Yes, they may miss a star here and there, but they will also save themselves an HR-wide (and beyound) burnout and a ton of wasted money.
I will be the "negative Nancy" in this thread and say that unfortunately there has been a drastic drop in IQ scores around the world over the last 30 years.
https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/iq-scores-have-be...

That is bound to manifest itself in the generally quality of prospective employees. The term "idiocracy" takes that idea to the extreme...but unfortunately is not far from the truth. In my experience, a general rule of thumb in Fortune 500 HR (and even large federal agencies) is that a star will almost never apply directly through the front door. There will be either recommended by a trusted insider or will find an ingenious way to demonstrate their talent. For all the rest, the assumption (mostly correct) is that they are junk or at the very least significantly overrating their self-professed abilities/talents/worth/salary/etc. So, what looks like a sucker shortage is simply the trend for lower value default offers most HR departments will put out there based on the (reasonable) assumption of the (low) quality of the person up against them.

I once went to an antenna tuning/design/factory for my startup's product and I told the guy there, I want an antenna to support X frequencies, this that dBs, good VSWR, hopefully achieve X kilometers range, etc etc.

Two days later he had 3 designs of antennas ready to be made into a flexible PCB and two days after that we got the FPCB samples.

I was amazed so I asked to see how he works. He took copper tape, and with a boxcutter he carves the antenna, and adds solder blobs to tune with the network analyzer. Then, once he was satisfied, he shoved them into the anechoic chamber and boom, done. Black magic stuff.

Antenna intuition is really hard to attain, it takes years playing with the right equipment in the right environment..

The food doesn't just taste worse its unsafe since microwave technology has be shown not heat food uniformly and can leave cold spots.

Also microwaves somehow change the texture of the food. A pizza in a microwave undergoes some alteration that makes the cheese get a rubbery texture.

I don't use microwaves much anymore. I rather just wait. Its not going to kill me - but cold spots might.
I'll add another: Is it independently reusable?

Even if you aren't going to use it for something else, separating some of your code and releasing it as open source is a great way to get more people to test it -- and find bugs before they affect you in production.
Because coming to the US is a hassle and we'd force them to basically re-qualify to be allowed to practice. Some European doctors do move here and go through the hassle nevertheless.

Regarding insurance, I believe since ACA was enacted there's now a limit on how much profit an insurance company can make, as a percentage of the money they pass through. I'm not a specialist in this field, but this seems to have only made matters worse.
I could go either way, but lately I tend to use the conventional oven for re-heating. About the only thing I use my microwave for is heating up a bowl of canned soup, or heating any kind of frozen "tv dinner" type packaged meal. And of the latter, I try not to eat those terribly often. Campbell's Chunk Soup on the other hand, I eat moderately often.

Anyway, as to whether or not there's a noticeable taste difference... I don't know. Never really thought about it. For re-heating (as opposed to initial cooking) I wouldn't expect there to be much difference, but who knows?
Often universal healthcare isn't universal. In Germany, for example, it's illegal not to have health insurance. If you can't afford it then you'll only get emergency care (but you would get that in the US too). If you don't have health insurance then you'll have to pay back the months you didn't have it.

The inevitable result of that is the people making bank will be sure to tell you, and ones making low salaries will not. The employer will therefore still know if you're making above or below the usual salary.

Businesses don't like risk (just like employees don't) and hiring a new person poses a lot of risk. It's expensive, and the employee may not work out at all. The more risk there is in hiring someone, the lower the salary offer will be to compensate. Salaries are a proxy for one's value when hiring. Removing that piece of information increases risk, and hence will lower the salary offers.
I'm curious about how this is legal in the EU. Is this because regions like the Basque have that autonomy financially? This kind of thing is not an option in the US, right? Is there a good write up anywhere that specifies when and where this kind of thing could happen?

The thing is info harvesting subsidizes the cis of hardware and as we well know from the Android phone market (and how privacy oriented phones have been doing) there simply isn't enough demand to even justify a 3 cent plastic hardware switch. They sell 1 million devices, 10K people use the hardware switch, and 100K people have a support issue because they mistakenly turned their WiFi off.

So why would they include it?

If it's valuable to you, buy a niche device - it'll cost you and extra $50 or whatever, but hey you'll have your privacy.

I feel like "people who won the genetic lottery" who become rich,by inventing something or creating something, deserve it because ideally these people made money by improving society and this behavior should be encouraged. I understand this is not how the world always works, but it should be the world we strive for.

In my mind this would be the ideal role of government to encourage behavior that makes society better.
I like the balance California now strikes: while employers can't ask about salary history, if a candidate voluntarily shares the information unsolicited, they can verify it and make the offer conditional on the verification passing.

So, California employers won't be able to avoid a complaint if they press for a current (as opposed to desired) salary number and disadvantage or reject the candidate on that basis, but they can still check for honesty.

While I definitely don't want to discriminatorily let low salaries have a bad knock-on effect at subsequent jobs, I also don't want to hire or work with liars.
In general, I prefer to lose potential candidates than hire someone bad since bad hires tend to become expensive. Moreover, if an experienced engineer walks because they got interviewed by someone junior then I view that as a bullet dodged. Assuming the junior engineer has been coached in the questions to ask and so on. It should be an easy win interview that will teach you a lot about the company since junior engineers tend to be worse at knowing what not to talk about.
I've been applying to jobs for about 5 months now and I haven't even managed to get a single technical interview, let alone a job offer.

1% of England's population is about 550,000, that is extreme inequality. You seem to think its OK for a small percentage of people to have everything as long as you have the right to roam around. I respectfully disagree. Wealth equals political and social power and it should be divided more evenly in order to ensure democracy. Make not mistake Capitalism mean fair and free - but in our warped form of Capitalism we have those with money rigging the rules for their own benefit and as such we don't have Capitalism we have Aristocracy.
I think the question of "Why does it takes fifty lines to create a dialogue with a button" is very programming-language dependent:

If you're working with a higher-level programming language, you can make cross-platform GUIs very easily (see tkinter + python as others have recommended) without having to write 50 LOC.

If you're working with C / C++ specifically, then your bottleneck really is figuring out how to build and link with your cross platform library across all platforms. In my experience that has been much more painful than the lines of code required to set up a GUI in C++.

Once you've got the build/deployment system working in C++, most GUI libraries don't need as much as 50 lines of code. For example, even with Qt this is the code to get a dialogue with a button:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QApplication app (argc, argv);

QPushButton button ("Hello world !");
button.show();

return app.exec();
}

In newer low-level languages with sane standardized package managers, like Rust, things should be much better, but I'm finding any good examples right now
> What’s wrong with the American market?

Well, here in SV, everyone kinda knows what other companies pay. You just didn't have friends in SV to tell you before the interview how much that company pays.

In general, there are top-tier companies, FAANG + Uber + Lyft + AirBnB, that pay X. Then there are lower-tier companies and startups that pay roughly X / 2. So, you're unlikely to get FAANG total comp at a no-name startup.
That’s why we’re the 99%
> The poor were not judges of good tea.

Expand this to the British, Irish, & Australians are not judges of good tea, right up to the present day.

It continually amazes me that British tea drinking culture is held up as some sort of epitome to aspire to (usually by US Americans). As this article details well, the great majority of tea consumed in the UK was and continues to be at the very lowest levels of quality (even if it is not widely adulterated as it was in the past). The only places with good tea drinking cultures and where people are judges of good tea are where tea is grown and has been grown for centuries. That is China, Japan and Taiwan. (And to a much lesser degree, India and Sri Lanka).
