You honestly sounds like a broken record, looking at the cynicism from your comment history. If someone coming from just trainings on "code.org" is threatening your job safety, or god forbid making you "blue collar" like "those people", perhaps you should rethink whether your skill sets are adequate.

Stop blaming other people.
You said “Yes, if you make it Open Source and possible to self-host it goes from DOA to definitely possible.[...]
Hopefully you can still make a living. I suspect "open source + commercially hosted" is a good model for something like this?”

That means that you would not consider using by it unless you could use it for free, presuming you wouldn’t qualify for a commercial license. I only summarized what you said.
I see no reason to believe this behavior is new. The Soviet Union funded radical groups for decades. I bet they never stopped.
When selecting from health insurance options, I only ever consider HSA plans, which typically have large deductables.

Why?

The US has the best health CARE in the world, but with a crappy health insurance system. The health insurance has been regulated to a hot mess by cronies and politicians that is slowly destroying the care system.

An HSA gives you more control of your care.

Rationing care is not the answer to solve the insurance problems. I'm not interested in waiting for long periods of time for rationed care, such as what is seen in Canada.

For all its faults, at least I can get an MRI within a day or two, and can see a specialist within a day or two. That's way better than waiting on rationed care.

It sounds like sh*t. It's not that the original music is bad. But the AI just doesn't produces "soul". It's basically a super remix machine but it really doesn't make it resonate for me. There's no composition at all.

Just listen to this, for example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN0HYTRftew (Napalm Death)

It just sounds like, yeah, music. There's composition, lyrics, riffs, rythms, etc.

(you may not like that stuff, neither do I, but I can recognize music when there is; the AI just doesn't get it)

FTA :

>>> the general feel and instrumentals are convincing, especially to the untrained ear

This. We're talking about death metal. That's not exactly your regular 1,000,000,000 views on youtube (it's actually millions :-)). So people who listen to that kind of stuff had to search for it at least a little. And one can say that it's not exactly easy listening neither. So you have to actually listen to it and understand it. So talking about "untrained ears" is actually reducing music to its gimmicks.

I find it despicable when people reduce music like that. Music is so unbelievably deep when it's done by musicians.

AI is not (yet?) the new music overlord :-)

Humorous note : I think AI sees it like Jim :

> You can't be denied treatment if you walk into a hospital and require treatment.

You will very likely be denied treatment if your condition is "only" a chronic one. And if you do show up with an acute+chronic condition, your acute condition (heart attack) will be treated, but no mandated follow-up for your chronic one (ongoing high blood pressure).

Yes, equality of opportunity should be valued over equality of outcome.

I have seen some absolutely egregious cases of trying to keep a minority in an underrepresented field, that have lead to everyone losing in the long term and further resentment towards minorities from even the most ardent supporters of affirmative action.
To add to the 'sucker' anecdote, when I was young and stupid (at least I am not young anymore), I was contacted by a NYC recruiter looking to hire for Bloomberg.

Who Rules the World by Noam Chomsky was an interesting read on this matter [1].

I am not surprised that people think this is new. Open source Intel, counterintel, and subversion SOP is to use media to find the pulse as well as set the tone of a society. The idea that evil Russians despoiled a pristine US media environment is laughable. The only reason this is a big deal at all is that the status quo kingmakers got pwnd in 2016 by internet trolls. They can't handle the fact that memes and propaganda destroyed their billion dollar consent manufactory so easily, so it obviously has to be "hackers" and the death of democracy ala cold war hegemonic struggle.

I have yet to have it coherently and completely explained to me how the Russians "hacked" the election. Everything I've read is long on exclamation and short on facts. Is running disingenuous ads and starting Facebook groups really hacking?

Sorry, I didn’t mean to deflect the convo towards your company’s hiring practices.

What I was trying to say that lot have been said about hiring metrics and standards around here and elsewhere. Yet, at the end of the day still like arbitrary in both ends and makes the job transaction cost higher than what could possible be.

Anyways, as I read your company’s interview process. Something came to my mind, why not let the candidate decide which questions to pick? I say so because I find the a lot of interviews are so hit or miss but if I was given a bit of control over the process, things could be different (or at least I would like to think this way).
How do we enforce this? We want the federal government to start investigating factories & banning imports of electronic devices with X sensor and Y connectivity capabilities?

...which is a great tell for what kind of relationship you would be starting if you did take the offer.
If that's something you accept, then you also must accept that the moment you get sick and your health insurance decides to screw you over, that no one will be there to help you. You'll go bankrupt. You'll become homeless at the later ages of your life. And you'll need to find your own way to survive on the streets.

For me, since I saw first hand what the healthcare system did to my parents? No one should go through that. They had 'good enough' healthcare and it still financially and physically destroyed them.

You think you have good enough health insurance? You don't.
You don't need FTL to explore the entire galaxy in 1B years. The Milky Way is only 100k ly across, so your fleet would only need an average speed of .1c to see it all. E.g. a robot fleet with a program to "see all parts of the galaxy" would colonize, refuel and rebuild another fleet, and send it off to repeat, and easily reach the entire galaxy. (The tech we're missing is a way to turn solar power into anti-matter, then power your ships with slow trickle matter/anti-matter annihilation.)
Two thoughts:

1) The majority of companies don't understand what they want and/or need in terms of personnel. Why that is can be a discussion some other time.

Of course there are exceptions. Typically they are the successful companies, the industry leaders, etc. Those who fail to make this cut believe these companies are auccessful because of open floor plans, ping pong tables, etc.

Collins said "Get the right people on the bus."

That's kinda true but also incomplete. It's actually: "Get good people on the right bus and get rolling in the right general direction. No ping pong tables required."

2) What most job posters don't seem to realize is that better / great people typically have a well serviced bullshit detector. Post your nonsense all you want. The ones you wish you could get can smell your turd-scented confusion and won't bother. It's not them. It's you. Suck it up and deal with it already.
The book The Healing of America by T.R. Reid compares the systems of Canada, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. According to the book, the latter three get among the top results in the world, measured by international organizations on various objective criteria like survival rates after diagnosis of major disease. They have various costs, with Japan being especially low at 5% GDP. All three have competing nonprofit insurance companies, mandates, and price controls. At the time the book was written, they were performing significantly better than the UK and Canada (which were doing better than the U.S.).

Years ago I emailed Joe Armstrong about concurrency stuff. I had no idea about anything like multithreaded programming or distributed systems or anything like that, but I had read Erlang was a language well-suited for that stuff.

I sent an email asking some seriously noobey questions about concurrency (about why mutation was bad, what made the Actor model work, etc), and instead of a response like "Go read a book and stop bothering me", he responded back with an incredibly long, well-written email explaining a lot of the minutia of how Erlang avoids a lot of pitfalls and generic concurrency theory. He was really good about explaining things in a way simple-enough for me to understand, without coming off as patronizing or rude.

About a year later I got a job doing Erlang, and I sent him another email telling him this, saying something to the effect of "sorry for bothering you a year ago, but your email was really helpful to me".

His response was basically "You have nothing to apologize for! I've always thought it was important to help people asking questions, especially early in their career".

I can honestly say that his kindness and patience changed my life for the better. If he hadn't held my hand a bit to make distributed systems make sense to me, there's a very high likelihood that I would still be writing Flash applications for a Tae Kwon Do studio.

RIP Joe, you will be missed.
When you increase supply, wages decrease. Wages will decline if you open the field up to everyone. Understandably, not everyone in tech wants wages to decline. If you want your wage to decline in the name of opportunity, that is your choice to make, but it is not your choice to have someone else's wages decline. What you're saying is, "God forbid you care about your quality of life so much you're not willing to keep running harder, faster on a treadmill until you lose your job and are no longer able to find another one due to so many candidates applying per job". No thanks.

There's nothing wrong with trades and blue collar work. There's a reason you can't outsource plumbers, electricians, and other technicians who must be on site to practice their craft. But there's also a reason that work is so expensive: the skills required take time to acquire, and there's a limited pool of talent with those skills.

Disclaimer: My personal stance is I want the labor market as tight as possible, for as long as possible, to push wages up for as many people as possible, while using government policy to put backstops in place that are progressively ratcheted forward.
Your example already occurs, so I don't know why you're conveniently ignoring that fact.

Instead, healthcare companies charge more if you're at risk. They're implementing solutions to discourage bad behaviors. Worse, this is all packaged up in various apps designed to take your data and sell them to others to make even more money off of every single person they rip off.

Don't even get me started on how the insurance industry abused pre-existing conditions as a catch-all term for denying coverage for things that weren't even a result of life style choices. So how is this different from the horror scenario you bring up?
If prices are rising, people are crying because they are not home owners. If they are falling, people are crying because they are homeowners. Weren't a lot of people in the US screwed when the last housing bubble burst (2008)?
A little off track rant but the tax and health policies of USA are super freaking unbelievable. Why on Earth can one not be eligible for a HSA when they don't have a HDHP? The healthcare is screwed up. The least you could let people do is use their pre tax monies for the health treatments.

And don't even get me started on FSA and forfeiture. That's MY money. What the hell do you mean the amount is forfitted?

Apologies for my language. The policies are making me go crazy.

Basically, the lesser of two evils.

At my previous job, I was working on things like Nuclear plants systems or on military systems (not something to "evil" however, it was a part of their ATC system, not something meant to kill people).

And it could be worse, I could work for the finance industry.

Technically, it's quite interesting, it's a large infrastructure, it also permitted me to have my first taste of AWS and Azure and other cool bits of technology.

It was also a big change from my last job where, because of lack of budget, I had to scavenge for old disused servers for the dev infrastructure (yay, Compaq Proliant G1 with dual CPUs Pentium IIIs and 512MB of RAM, I had to use a floppy disk to install Debian on these... in 2012).

It's also not as clear cut as purely sending spam, our system can also be used for password resets, order confirmations or newsletters for example. I am also not completely 100% against marketing (hey, if I create a new product, it is useful to make people know about it), even though I think the world could do with ~90% less marketing. Maybe it's the way I trick myself, that, and simply not thinking too much about it.

It also pays relatively well, not that I'm that attached to having a big pay, living quite frugally, but I'm currently hunting for an apartment, and a big paycheck helps to get the mortgage.

It was also an opportunity for me to work for a big US company and see how it was to work with people all over the world. And it also confronted me with the American Optimism, which is really fascinating, at time annoying because it feels a bit fake, but also at time because it de-inhibits people from not attempting difficult challenges as opposed to a more cautious and critical European mindset. Not sure which mindset I prefer, but still, fascinating.

I'm also not the kind of guy switching jobs every 6 months. I also feel I'm kind of letting other people down if I leave (not completely rational I know). Also, a job is bit like a book, an (almost) never ending book, even if it's not that great, you are still curious about how it will unfold, and it's really hard (at least for me) to leave it in the middle.

At one point, I will probably search for a new job. And finding a job I at least find "neutral" but if possible "benefic" (from my moral point of view) will be high in my priority list.
It's incomparably harder to judge the output of a coder vs a truck driver (where you pretty much have 100% visibility into work performance). Hence, companies are wary of hiring slackers or people of low talent, because they know that if they hire one, his low performance may never be detected afterwards. This leads to interviews checking for raw ability (whiteboard tests) and "passion" (show me your github etc.), as both are resonable insurance against hiring a dumbo or a slacker.
