I've never seen an interview process that HN (and Reddit and Slashdot and ...) didn't trash as "deeply flawed", "biased", "unfair", "unreasonable", etc. At some point, though, a company has to have some sort of process, and by and large what they use works for them.
Here are 2 scenarios that might explain OP's point of view.

You are walking up to an intersection and the crosswalk sign is green. You look right and across the intersection all the traffic is stopped. You look left and there is a car coming, but it is clearly slowing down for the red light. You step into the intersection, but the car doesn't actually stop. They turn right at the intersection. You have to jump away. The problem here is not that you didn't look, but that you misinterpreted what the car was doing. It would be best to wait until all approaching cars are actually stopped before entering the intersection, but next time you are crossing a street I challenge you to see if you always do that. It's surprisingly uncommon because the car is "obviously" stopping.

The second is more of a clear cut problem. Bicycles often travel at speeds much faster than people expect. It's not unusual for a road bike to be going over 30 km/h (just under 20 mph). Cars should wait for you to clear the intersection, but often they aren't looking for bikes and will make a right hand turn, cutting off the cyclist. It happened to me many times in Canada. I'm very happy that the turn-on-red rule is not allowed in Japan where I live now.

> I do think there's some signal in whether a candidate can get the syntax right

I agree with that. I've had candidates explain certain points of syntax as they worked, or demonstrate their knowledge in other ways, or write their code particularly well or cleanly, and I make sure to mention that positively in my notes. But less-than-flawless syntax by itself isn't a negative for me.

I agree with the main things you look for - I too try to focus on those more than syntax.

Re. the orbit, note that this was a test in LEO, at 300 km orbit; all the debris will, in relatively short order, be de-orbited. [2]

While I will not indulge in the whataboutism of CN & USA conducting these, one potential strategic reason for India to test was to ensure a their perspective was heard at the (then) upcoming discussions on the "Space Peace Treaty" [3]. It's tempting to say such symbols of act & intent do not matter, but they force others to take you seriously & engage with you. India was excluded from the NSG and many other such programs in the past.

FWIW, please do not trivialize the realities & complexities of geopolitics by simplistic moral grand-standing. While undesirable, there were real domestic & international reasons to conduct the test. To treat such a decision as mere posturing, or some sort of crude symbolism, ignores the context within which such decisions are taken, and presumes that the technocrats who took these decisions did so unmindful of the consequences.

My driving instructor was very stressful (lots of yelling at me and other drivers), but given the sheer amount of bad drivers on the road these days it ended up being helpful - when "stressed out" is the baseline when you're driving, you either break and find a different instructor or unlearn the stress response and stay calm while driving.

I've narrowly avoided several accidents caused by other drivers (running red lights at intersections, changing lanes without looking and nearly running me off the road, road rage, etc.) which I partly attribute to being able to stay calm and make the right decisions to avoid an accident.

I'm confused.

This is a compiler. The difference between distributing the output of this and a compiled C or C++ library is basically that this emits machine code that no sane C or C++ compiler would emit today. This does not prevent me from figuring out how the parts you want kept secret work, it only spreads bugs out over more code.

My objection is twofold: first, on practical grounds, this makes producing good bug reports harder. That's because there's more code to prove isn't the true source of the problematic behavior.

The second is aesthetic. If your goal is to keep your secrets, this does not accomplish it.

Have you ever actually been on the interviewer end of the process?

Literally over half of the candidates literally don't know how to program! They can sort of string together a Markov-chain something if you sit them down in front of an IDE and let them copy-paste stuff until syntactic errors go away, but put them at a whiteboard and they don't know where the parentheses go in a function call.

(They'll write crap like "()f" or "f()a" when they want to call a function, stuff like that.)

The question is, does it significantly reduce the number of people overstaying on the parking spot? A good use of parking meters is to ensure shared access to a limited parking resource. You can't just park your car all day there. You have to keep going back every hour to fill the meter, which means that you will usually leave and let someone else park there for a while.

The amount of the fine is irrelevant. It's just an annoyance to ensure that you realise the need to share the resource. If it does that, then the smaller the fine, the better.

ASCI Red was the first 1 TOP computer. It consumed 850kW of power and cost $46m. It was the fastest supercomputer in the world 19 years ago this June. Now we're arguing over whether all our cars will be driving around with a computer either 144 or 300x as fast using either 8500x or 1700x less power and costing in the neighborhood of 100,000x less.

Let p be the real number where, iff the k'th program halts, the k'th bit of p (after the decimal point, in binary) is 1.

Let M be the operation "toggle a bit with probability p", which has matrix [[1-p, p], [p, 1-p]].

When given a program k to solve, keep applying M while counting up how many toggles you see. Do this until the chance that the k'th bit of the sample mean equals the k'th bit of p is greater than 2/3 or whatever other threshold you want, which will take a finite number of samples. Return the k'th bit of the sample mean. This is a probabilistic algorithm which solves the halting problem with arbitrarily high probability.

None of these justifications answer the question I've asked. Read the link I've provided. The Tesla Model 3 can get to 90% state of charge in 40 minutes in ideal conditions. How many minutes will it now take the Model S and Model X to do the same?

On the one hand, I agree with you that it isn't helpful.

But on the other hand, there is a plausible parallel. The reason for strong controls on privacy is because every couple of generations governments tend to do a lot of damage to their own citizens.

If I thought the worst that was going to happen was the risk of being wrongly accused, public shaming or something, then privacy isn't really worth it. I trust law enforcement to be generally correct in assessing the situation, and if you are doing something shameful you may as well be shamed.

Privacy is important because it is one layer of protection against institutions participating in the murder of citizens, seen in Germany, China, Russia in the last generation and China + others this generation. Who knows for next generation? Change is very quick - there is no law of nature that says it won't be an Anglophone country. We can get thingy about whether a conscientious objector has to be the last person pulling the trigger or not, but in practice that distinction is not an important one.

Actually it is not lower latency than centralized TURN server. The difference from TURN is that Ant Media Server behaves like peer to each connected clients. Not relaying the video/audio as TURN. Additionally, it can create adaptive bitrates on the server side. It can record streams and control other things on server side.

There is also the argument that the PATRIOT Act was flawed not for its stated intent, but for the nuance (or lack thereof) of its implementation. And the designer of the bill is the one responsible for said nuance, especially considering that she designed it at a time when it would have been political suicide for many lawmakers to oppose it for its nuance. She could have taken the opportunity to create something in keeping with civil liberties, and instead she did quite the opposite.

Absent additional context, it is very reasonable to expect her to disregard civil liberties in the remainder of her career.

>More like 90% of obscure commodity electronic bits and bobs.

I feel like this is a dramatic market development. In the era of brick-and-mortar shops, a lot of those products were only available as branded versions. Think when you had to go in to a store and get a printer cable in 2001, and you were paying $25 for a Belkin cable in a fancy box because it's all they sell.

Branding from a consumer perspective is about building a message of "we're the quality one you know and trust" or "we're the cool/desirable one you recognize." It isn't necessary for a lot of these products: they're not sexy and the bar of competence is so low that you're unlikely to be burned.

AliExpress and friends have completely reinvented that market by tapping into that sentiment. Their products are unbranded (or as-good-as-unbranded, with a name with no meaning to the buyer) but trade on cheap and good enough. I'm sure a lot of the bits-and-bobs industry is up all night sweating.

I always inwardly cringe when they start going off topic and the host keeps trying to rein them in. But when it's someone who knows how to present themselves on radio, it's good.

There's this one show on CBC where listeners call in to a plant expert about their gardening problems, and he identifies them and suggests solutions on the spot. You get a wide variety of people who call in, but since the roles are reversed—callers are asking questions, not answering them—they tend to be much more to the point and willing to give up the floor. Despite not caring one whit about plants and gardening, I really enjoy this show.

If the expert doesn't know the answer, sometimes another listener will call in to save the day. One of my favourite ones is when a lady's tree saplings were starting to die after they got a new well drilled, and after a bunch of questions the plant expert was stumped. Well, a well driller called in a few minutes later and said it was almost certainly the oil coating used on the pipes to prevent rust during storage (totally safe for consumption, but apparently harmful to trees), and the solution was to wait until the oil wore off after a few months.

It sounds boring, but the plant expert is one of those old men who just have a way with words, and the CBC host is really good with prompting both the expert and caller with more questions or anecdotes.
