Amazon literally lists out the leadership qualities they look for and asks people to prepare for them. You prepare for them, tell the story, and they don't bother with follow-up questions most of the time.

I find behavioral questions to be bs anyway, since how someone presents themselves during an interview and their day to day behavior can be very different. Atleast here, you do your preparation, spit out your story, and you're done. Slightly less bs way to interview for personality qualities.
I don't mind being wrong (I like learning!), and "winning" is not my goal here. I don't believe that I'm moving goal posts or being childish, and so it seems like we're inadvertently talking past each other.

I believe your core point is that humans can't detect a force which acts identically on their whole body. Have I understood? This statement is true, of course, but does not seem relevant in context, as it seems to ignore all but the one sentence you quoted, which itself is true in its own context. I don't consider Pyxl101's ignoring of magical-seeming hypothetical technology to be misleading.

Pyxl101's comment [1], which you replied to, is all about practical technology. In that context, your comment seems like an irrelevant technicality (I think this is why you got downvoted), as no practical mode of transport can move someone without physical contact, which transfers force unevenly (just to the parts of the body in contact with the vehicle).

> We can all yell "pay parity" and "tie CEO compensation to worker compensation", but there are trade-offs. It means high performers who earn their pay are more likely to go elsewhere, where they'll be properly compensated.

Other than more than they're currently making, what does "properly compensated" mean? Should we not use our votes to help decide that?

Damn. Sucks for the board who chose a winner the first time and couldn't find another winner.

You're suggesting we all throw our hands up in the air and "let it be?" This is such a strange argument.
Good point but in fairness to birds, if there were a giant sheet of glass blocking the road then humans would probably crash into it too. They also might find it hard to avoid a 747 flying across the road.
How exactly should we vote supply and demand out of existence? You propose a left-ish solution but the same left-ish people that would enact it also support housing regulation, and due to supply and demand, your goal simply can't be met. This is not a systemic issue in most places where the program exists, it's an issue of current regulation (and the people that created it).

We have absolutely no evidence that AP is safer than human drivers because Tesla (tellingly) refuses to release information comparing AP miles to comparable miles driven by other luxury vehicles. Their refusal to release that information combined with sky-high insurance rates for Teslas indicates that they are (perhaps significantly) less safe than other modern luxury vehicles driven by humans.
Perhaps they are trying to explain clustering illusion? The phenomenon that even random data will produce clusters. You can take that further and state random data WILL produce clusters. If you don't have clusters then your data is not random and some pattern is at play.

This really tricks up our mind as our mind tries to find patterns everywhere. If you try and plot random dots you will usually put dots without clusters. A true random plot will have clusters.

Another explanation, which would fit with current developments, might be that these are computer-generated artifacts.

Increasingly, the picture we are being shown is generated by processing raw sensor data - for example, just compare raw (or partially processed) weather radar data to the processed maps you see in forecasts. Two recent trends -- the synthesis of views from multiple sensors of different types, and their presentation as virtual reality -- have come together in devices such as the F-35 Helmet-Mounted Display [1]. I would guess that this level of interpretation of data and synthesis of images presents an increased scope for artifact generation, and the presentation makes it seem more real.

I've never tried this, and it probably would not work. I don't think I'd even attempt it. However! A trick to detect a lie or fabrication is to have someone go through something in reverse chronological order. People usually have trouble constructing a false narrative in reverse.
Probably because self regulation doesn't work and never has, if it did there would be no need for laws or government we would all just self regulate and get along and help each other without a central authority with a monopoly on violence.

Another way to look at it, laws and democratic government are a form of self regulation similar to buying an alarm clock rather than just waking up on time through self control. Granted you may not have a choice in which alarm clock to buy or when the alarm is set because it is agreed upon over time through mass consensus.
This is possibly my favourite ever HN comment. When people talk about how terrible social media echo chambers are they're often overlooking the fact that they're living in one of a much larger scale.

You are claiming that the accuracy of Telsas language is outrageously deceptive, using an outrageously made up example of deception: "six seconds prior to the collision = It is any six seconds before the crash"

"This is the kind of sketchiness that makes people wary of Tesla."

Its the kind of sketchiness that make me wary of the stuff people post about Tesla. If the driver had multiple warnings - about anything, any car company will mention that, there is nothing exceptionally sketchy about Tesla doing so. And that is all on which you based your incredible interpretation of "six seconds prior to". Its just an entirely made up accusation.

> How exactly should we vote supply and demand out of existence?

You can't, but there are things that can be done to compensate or mitigate:

- Anti-union regulations like "right to work" laws are an anti-market intrusion that weakens the power of labor. Vote against them.

- Support works councils (they've worked well in Germany) for more democratic governance, which right now I believe are illegal in the US (read this in a Bloomberg article earlier, though haven't verified).

- Support things that make bad jobs less bad. For example, there are benefits offered by 'better' companies, like good health insurance or paid parental leave, that could be provided by the state or mandated by the state.

- Support land use and transportation changes that would allow more people to participate in the economies of 'superstar' cities without ruinous housing costs.

Note that two of these things are even market-oriented, not all the positive changes have to be about more/bigger government.

In the UK there was a drive by the Labour government to push everyone into higher education. Not to blame them for this but it has effectively made it worse for some people who took any degree and at the same time has made it hard to fill trades and apprenticeship schemes (at least in Scotland).

Ask HN: Best way to sell domain names?
I've got too many domain names, most are ideas for projects that never happened, some are great 4-letter .com others are not that good. What's the best way to sell just the domain names?
I have one of the supported cards[0], so it's quite straightforward:

Check the APN from your operator's settings.

- Try the card first in a phone. Preferably turn on the SIM lock and change the PIN code.

- Insert the card to the laptop, boot.

- `doas ifconfig umb0 apn your.apn.com`

- `doas ifconfig umb0 pin XXXX`

- `doas ifconfig umb0 up`

- Confirm the gateway from `ifconfig umb0` when it appears, should say inet and it's the second IP.

- When gateway is visible, `doas route add -ifp umb0 default XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX`

- Confirm the DNS works, but you should now be able to access internet.

Sometimes when you turn off the power or suspend, you might need to enter the PIN to the card, turn the device up and set the route again. A player automates this with a script. :)

You can store the settings to `/etc/hostname.umb0`.

> Doesn't that mean Linux is entirely broken?

It depends on how you look at it. Linux does not break kernel-userspace but userspace libraries, like the c libraries, constantly change as security holes and bugs are patched. This is a more secure approach as updates bring in security and bug patches. The flip side is that approach can sacrifice backwards compatibility if an api interface changes or removed. This forces the developer to constantly rebuild and check if anything is broken. The idea is everyone is proactive and stays up-to-date. That's how Linux works.

Microsoft's approach is to let the application developer bundle the libraries with the application if necessary. That's what all of those visual c++ updates are for when you install certain software, they install the libs the application was linked against. So your computer is littered with multiple library versions, some of which may contain security flaws.

The latest approach in Linux is to bundle the application and libraries in containers. It's a hybrid approach that takes the MS idea of bundling the linked libs with the application but wrapping it up into a neat container that in theory should isolate the system from any vulnerabilities the libraries may contain.

I know 50 states is more than 10, but you've always had to do this in Canada. Each province roughly has a different tax rate, and different tax rates apply to different items.

You just submit it all to the Federal government (or Quebec government for just Quebec) and they deal with the distribution to each province.

For example I get taxed by DigitalOcean based on what my billing address is set to. DigitalOcean then takes that tax sends 9 provinces worth of it to the CRA and 1 (Quebec) to the Revenu Québec.

Stop paying too much for housing because the commute is 15min or the schools are good. Stop buying hipster beer and eating at those stereotypical gentrified restaurants that charge too much for everything. Buy your groceries somewhere other than Whole Paycheck.

Basically just live below your means.

But that is going to be hard for most people in tech to do because most people in tech were raised upper middle class and they simply don't know how to live below that and a lot of the rest are not from the US and they're mostly just going to do whatever makes them fit in.

And unless you can get everyone with money to live like they don't (which you can't) that's not actually going to solve anything. Telling everybody to just change their lifestyle is not a real solution to anything anyway.
The New Preschool Is Crushing Kids
As far as I'm concerned I already have a multi-touch hand pose interface, one that's seen more than a century of improvements. Not sure what 3D would add to it. Perhaps just a larger attack vector for tennis elbow, i.e. literally crippling.

When I see movies with 3D projected interfaces and people interacting by waving their hands around them I can't help laughing about the ergonomics of it. I have similar thoughts about the general applicability of VR. For as long as VR means focusing on a screen a couple of centimeters from your eyes, it's not going to be a generally useful productivity tool because of the eye strain. With a monitor I can easily turn my chair and focus on something else for a few minutes.

Overall, it's my opinion that the goal of designing human interfaces should be to minimize cognitive load, eye strain and arm strain. Window management "as collaborative improv dance" with "3D hand poses" sounds like the exact opposite of that. The future of human computer interfaces IMO lies in things like replacing the mouse with something that requires less hand movement, technology like e-ink to improve legibility and minimize eye strain, mouseless window management, ergonomic keyboards...at least generally.

I can still see how VR and 3D gesturing can be immensely useful for things like CAD and video games, but in general I use my computer to read and write documents (maybe a specialized use case in itself). Whether those documents fly around in a 3D space or are projected in thin air in front of me is uninteresting to that end.

That said, to sort of answer your question, here is an interesting paper: https://our.oakland.edu/bitstream/handle/10323/4785/An%20Inf...
Owning is the key. If you've got a 30 year mortgage you do not own your home. You only own part of it. Once a home is paid off, the equation changes. I would also make an exception for houses that are very expensive as they will have large price swings if the markets change.
