Hey there!

I really wish Google would be clearer about what this means. This allows DarwinMail to create your email (when you use the compose functionality), modify your email, and send your email (when you click the send button). This also allows you to update and save drafts.

I hope that helps alleviate your worries somewhat :)

We have reminder functionality available! It is part of my everyday routine too!

Could you suggest a way to allow people to use DarwinMail while 'maintaining privacy'? I am learning exactly what you would like here :)
Wow I thought I was the only one. I dont know how many years experience you have, but with 5 years experience my sentiments are the same. When I interview now it feels like "Dance monkey Dance", or dealing with a gatekeeper. Had plenty of interviews that were a waste of time, or I personally felt I was just invited to interview just for the Hiring Manager to deny and say they couldn't find the right "Talent"
"Why Are You Reposting Jobs With Over 1000 applications?"

Because over 95% of them are completely random and do not meet even one single criteria of the job. Or, are fake resumes from H1B consulting shops.

Post a senior software developer job in New York? Get ready for over half of the applications to be from a Burger King employee in South Carolina, a security guard in Florida, a mechanic in Idaho, etc. They spam their resume to every open job in America. The next 25% will be from grad students desperate to get an H1B sponsorship before their OPT runs out. They will, yes, spam their resume to every open job in America. The final 24% will be fake C2C resumes from H1B consulting shops. "Yes, he is my consultant, how can you pay on the corp to corp for this job?" They, yes, spam their resume to every open job in America.

Out of those 1000, I bet you over 95% do no match one single qualification posted

I'm not sure what kind of abuse of the compensation you are thinking of?

I agree that the most valuable thing is not seeing how the solution was implemented (we want to keep the total hours expended to less than 20 for the senior engineer challenge and less than 5 for the junior challenge) but seeing how someone navigates their environment and how they talk through how they arrived at the solution. It's especially interesting to ask about alternatives, areas for extension and tradeoffs.

You aren't imagining things. Pseudonymous and anonymous channels have actually been lagging behind the large walled garden corporate social media platforms for about two years now. Maybe more.

It used to be that the unfiltered image boards were at the forefront of emerging trends and defining or producing cultural shifts.

What happened is that the sheer volume of the walled gardens has grown each year as older people who know better have aged out. The replacements from younger age brackets are all piling into corporate social platforms. Kids have developed tactics to deal with close quarter snooping from parents and immediate authority figures.

Large platforms now inflate as the volume of internet users drains out of participating with offbeat services.

Also Trump and the alt-right have had chilling effects of the reputation of using random websites and anonymous participation. It now feels very wrong to more people. Whereas previously it felt neither right nor wrong to lurk as a spectator and cheer or boo as desired.

This affects places like HN which will become stale as younger users gloss over the glory of koans about the AI lab that never really produced AI.

HN activity will decay even if money will keep HN alive as a startup investor corner. But the winds are blowing. Kids aren't leaving corporate platforms as predicted. They don't know how create competitors or whether that's possible.
Nuclear has always been subsidized. Way more than renewables and many times that of fossil fuels.

Over $89 billion has been dumped in to it. That's like 20 companies the size of Lyft or Airbnb and it still performs and delivers poorly. How much more do you want?

Maybe, just maybe, it's a fundamentally bad technology and we can do better than nuclear.

"after trillions of years the universe will enter a dark age when there are no stars with visible light left".

Ok but, armchair amateur here, the scale of space is not known to humans, right? We cannot comprehend the actual limit of the universe, can we? How can we know that the universe entering a dark age is not a local effect in our known universe, and that other, incomprehensibly distant parts of the universe will keep doing just fine?

For that matter, if the universe enters a dark age, what is it that caused the universe to be in a "light age" in the first place? There has be a force that causes the universe to exit a "dark age" otherwise it would always have been dark.

These kinds of things perplex me.

Surprised to see nothing about carbohydrates in the article, nor here. I have been following a diet very low in carbs recently, and one thing that surprised me is that my teeth never hurt anymore. It wasn't the reason for my diet, but it's a really nice benefit.

I noticed a causal relationship between eating eating sugary foods and toothaches, so I cut out sugar a few years ago, which reduced the pain by 80%. But there was still a subtle aching after every meal, sometimes even if I immediately brushed my teeth (can't reach every single place).

But cutting carbs altogether, has completely eliminated the mild background toothaches (and not so mild ones) I just took for granted.

I heard recently that with the advent of agriculture, humans switching to a carb-rich diet, cavities (in found skulls) increased by 500%.
You're exaggerating, but it's basically true that on the technical side everything from AirBnB to Zillow are just CRUD apps, with varying degrees of nice UI stuff on the front-end. Once you've built one, you could kind of build any of them. (Not sure a high-schooler with a week of JS would be up to it though, LOL.)

Anyway it's important to note that coming up with the business idea and then executing it well is kinda where the money comes from, not from the app itself per se. A business may have a website; it might even use a web app to deliver its core business value; but having a website or web app doesn't necessarily mean you have a business.

While we're at it, doesn't the "universality theorem" (as the article calls it) basically follow immediately from the fact that the set of all continuous functions comprises a vector space?

If the continuous function is additive, it's linear. If it's nonlinear, you can differentiate it to obtain a linear approximation. A neural network computes linear transformations, so unless I'm missing something I'm a little surprised there's a substantive theorem for this. Is it not a corollary on the fact that we can construct a vector space of all continuous functions?

I worked at a non-tech company in the southeast before my current job at a FANG company, and the lead data scientist at this company wrote up the most ridiculous interview questions I've ever seen. WAYY harder than FANG questions, and this company honestly needed business analysts far more than it needed ML researchers. The salary was like $100k for a junior data scientist position. Some of the questions were things like describing forward mode vs reverse mode differentiation, describing Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, and explaining Judea Pearl's concept of causality. Considering there were like 30 data scientists in the whole city, I'm not sure what the point was other than to make potential candidates feel stupid.

The term for this is "brushing".

An actual seller made an actual sale and sent it to your address. The actual buyer was obviously not you. The actual buyer was either in cahoots with, or simply is, the seller.

Whatever platform they placed the order with (Aliexpress perhaps) will now give them (1) next to their name instead of (0), or more likely, (10001) instead of (10000).

Whether illegal in fact or not, I don't think it goes against the spirit of the law: Aliexpress and other platforms (even Amazon) incentivize this sort of behavior. In sending you that throwaway screw, they now are closer to qualifying for (or keeping) preferential seller status which is essential to survival on those platforms (better rates, etc.).

Throw the screw away, or keep it as a reminder that the 21st century's weird little perverse incentives drive people to do very illogical things.

> I don’t have reason to believe my insurance will suddenly drop coverage when I need it. I don’t think that’s a huge risk.

There's loads of cases, including one in this thread, about people who thought they were covered but weren't. This is really a bad situation to be in if it happens, and it should worry you every time there's an event. After all, the insurance company has direct interest in not covering you.

Now the government does as well, this is true. But those cases, eg in the UK it's talked about a fair bit, tend to be where there's a judgement that a treat is neither not sufficiently tested to be useable, or simply not worth the cost-benefit, eg it's expensive and only buys the patient a few more weeks of life. So it's true what you say, but it's worth considering what the balance of risks is: a healthcare co that has an interest against you every time, and has been shown to fight, or the government, which normally only denies treatment in rare borderline cases.

I'd say a big part of it is particular to US culture: the healtcare cos have been shown to not be that easy to get money out of. Somewhere like Switzerland also has private healthcare, but they don't compete in the same way. Everyone must have insurance, and you won't be paying out of pocket above some limit. The companies are not famous for screwing everyone, and compete to provide extra service (eg hotel-like rooms when you have a kid).
>The main factors keeping cost high is low supply of doctors, hospitals, and medicines.

This is an enormous oversimplification unless you are taking such a broad view of "low supply" that it loses usefulness.

>I’m not aware of any insurance industry effort to keep those supplies down.

I don't know every policy that insurance industry lobbyists push. I do know that they lobby against price transparency--the lack of which almost certainly plays a role in healthcare costs.

>If people had doctors and hospitals competing to offer standard procedures like births, broken bones, fevers, etc at lower costs, then that’s what will bring prices down.

For elective procedures like plastic surgery and LASIK sure, but overall medical care is full of such extreme examples of market failures that you need more than just free market competition to control costs.

That's a bit higher than I would have thought. I had to check my own country, UK's neighbour Norway.

"The distribution of net wealth is highly skewed in Norway. While average net wealth for households is NOK 1.6 million, the median net wealth is NOK 900 000. Households in the highest 10 percent for net wealth own roughly 53 per cent of total net wealth, the richest 1 per cent control 21 per cent, while the top 0.1 per cent own 10 per cent of total net wealth." [1]

So not as high but still quite high here as well. 10% is about 520.000 which is still substantially more people than the 25.000 that own 50% of the UK wealth.

This disease is found on tigers, jaguars, fossilized saber tooth tiger teeth, etc. It's painful and leads to loss of teeth. Often also leads to loss of function, i.e., reduced chewing. It's probably a leading cause of old wild cats throwing in the towel and becoming carrion.

This isn't the answer you're looking for, but I'm reminded of the book of Genesis:

I will note that in the above it says "morning" and "evening". In some sense, the writing is old enough that we assume that is what the original hebrew meant, but we don't actually have context to say. I've heard that the word for "morning" (erev) could have meant "order", and "evening" (boker) could have meant "disorder".

So what you get is 7 days (depending on who you ask) where the second law of thermodynamics is "wound up", if you will, which resulted in an ordered universe that isn't just a homogeneous soup.

>> By 2009, on all the standard measures, Konrath found, young people on average measure 40 percent less empathetic than my own generation — 40 percent!

I apologise in advance to folks in the humanities for my skepticism, but when you're quantifying something like "empathy" which is not well defined and canot be measured directly, then a quantitative difference on its own doesn't mean much. That 40% shift may be because the questionnaire itself changed over time, or because it didn't change enough with the times, or any other factor that is has nothing to do with the actual "empathy" of the subjects.

Edit: I was once given a personality test by a psychologist [for reasons I'm not at liberty to disclose, like]. One of the questions was along the lines of "a holy man can heal a patient by laying on hands: true or false?". At the time, I had no idea what that even meant. "Laying on hands"? What, like a D&D Paladin? Years later I learned that some evangelical sects in the US practice this as some kind of prayer or ritual. The personality test I took was most likely drafted originally in the US and there were many more questions that I found very confusing, like that one. So, if I had no idea what many of the questions meant, what exactly was that questionnaire supposed to be measuring? Yet I believe it was some standardised psychological test given to people around the globe.
Cheaping out on things is not unique to profit making companies. (For example, government policies that keep gas prices artificially low. Or American cities that keep water/sewer rates too low to fix aging sewers that dump massive amounts of untreated sewage into rivers every time it rains.)
