To quote Joel Spolsky, "...if you reject a good candidate, I mean, I guess in some existential sense an injustice has been done, but, hey, if they’re so smart, don’t worry, they’ll get lots of good job offers."

It's part of the process. People accept that they'll have false negatives. But you'll get good job offers anyway.

Google and Facebook probably don't have the best process either. They're giant brand names. They get a lot of garbage in their funnel and probably have to filter for minimum garbage, as opposed to having the best engineers.

Not that they don't have great engineers, but the system is flawed and it's a bit of a gamble to get in.

It's largely the lack of anything specific that marks it as a gaming part. The Ryzen chips are AM4 socket and have 24 PCIe lanes and dual channel RAM.

It's slightly smooshing the line between Consumer/Desktop parts and High-End Desktop (HEDT) parts, but AMD's HEDT/Workstation CPUs are Threadripper on the TR4 socket and have 64 PCIe lanes and quad channel RAM, and its Workstation/Server are Epyc on the SP3 socket with 128 PCIe lanes and 8 channel RAM.

(There may also be more specific stuff WRT how it handles threads and memory. Threadripper has a specific gaming mode that basically shuts off half the chip to simplify threading and optimize memory access for software, at the expense of having less resources available overall. Not seen a hands-on with the Ryzen 3000 chips that covers NUMA/UMA etc, but as it's only dual channel I don't think it'll be required. YMMV, IANAL.)
I'm not arguing for centrality, but how do you see this actually working? People submit photographs when they make visa applications, so how are you going to store that?
I have cron jobs on my mac that update my hosts files (to block "addictive" sites in my case (not ads)). It doesn't really work.

Browsers cache and use outside DNS servers despite the hosts files. Chrome and sometimes Safari don't really honor the hosts files 100% of the time. Every once in a while I google around to try and restore my control, try to tweak my browser settings but I have yet to find anything that makes using hosts files bulletproof.
Only after you have tried to call the function with an array many times, that's when it would make sense. And there's another option too, to instead add a check and a friendly error. But it should be a fairly rare thing to do.

Naming things can be hard and maybe more so if you do not have type annotations. But being used to dynamic languages I always find type annotations a chore. And I think it's better to have a good name and no types, then a bad name and types. eg. max(...numbers) vs x(y:number, z:number) -> number . Even though x is more verbose it can be anything, but with max(...numbers) I can be fairly sure.

Android isn't secure, it's limited, that's the whole problem here. Any security you can't control isn't a security feature but just a limitation. It's "secure" because you can't do anything interesting with it.

There are lots of stories (and also some info) on engineers working at FAANG making ~$400k a year or up. Granted these are not your typical engineering jobs, but they do exist and in not so insignificant numbers; say it's 1% of engineers (made up number).

I am curious though as to the distribution of freelance / contract rates. Is $200 / hour also 1% of engineers? More? Less? Financially for the same person what's actually a better route? For someone that can get $400k a year at google, is that better or worse than the contract route on average?
I'm sure businesses will experiment with renting all sort of things and see what sticks. The market for less serious rentals (such as entertainment) is probably much bigger than furniture.

Knowing I'm renting a sofa, and that if I spill something on it, I'd be responsible sounds far too stressful (maybe I'm not, but I'd have to find the answer to that). Also, do they deliver and pick up the furniture when I'm done with it? Do I pay extra for that? I have questions about the model. Consumers tend to steer away from things they can't understand.
You probably should pivot. You have some nice data likely by now. It's more a question whether someone wants it. Basically you don't have product market fit.

I suggest you do a business model canvas. Jot down your value proposition - what problem you're solving.

Are you targeting people looking for locations? Or hungry people looking for a place to eat? Adventurous people looking for somewhere new? Someone just looking for a place to bring a date?

Pick a specific problem. Focus your site around that. Make sure your copywriting emphasizes solving it.

If it doesn't work, move on to other similar problems.

A rational/efficient example of where renting might be a better deal for you is if you don't have access to wholesale prices and someone else does. They buy at a discount and then they rent out to you at a price which makes it cheaper for you than buying at retail.

A classic scenario is renting a movie. Let's use DVDs as an example--even though they're falling out of favor, they're a little simpler to talk about, and the economics of online aren't that much different.

Studios like big numbers and would like to sell movie media/rights/access/whatever (it's complicated) to someone who can drive lots of demand. So the rental outlet will get a steep discount on those things for buying in bulk.

Meanwhile, you're not even sure if you'll want to watch that movie more than once, and the resale value of a used DVD after a couple years is basically zero. So renting the DVD at least the first time, and maybe every time you want to watch it, is a pretty good deal.

Case in point, Redbox's "markup" over whatever they're paying the studios is large, but it's still a pretty good deal for you and me.

In Denmark where I live you can loan 1 million Danish kroner at around 5k each month. A decent downtown apartment in a bigger city or a house in the suburbs is 2-4 million. Renting the equivalent is 10-15k, and with renting you obviously skip a lot of the maintenance cost and taxes. On the flip side loans are tax-deductible, meaning you actually don’t pay 20k to borrow 4 million, you pay 12k.

It can still be cheaper to rent, at least if you look at the small scale. Because in 30 years, those 4 million will be yours while people who rent will still have nothing. It’s also risky, because maybe those 4 million will really be 1 million.

Over all, owning real estate in a safe location is always going to be much better than renting. At least in Denmark. Hell, if you can manage to buy around 15-30 lower-cost apartments in a university city and rent them out, you’ll be able to pay your loans and have enough spare in passive income that you never have to work again.

I don’t rent furniture but I see the appeal - I myself am not in a stable living situation (nor do I want one at the moment), I like living in different places and don’t want to deal with moving, reselling or disposing furniture every time I make a move.

Some people’s solution to that is renting everything, mine is just to live lean (small place, minimal furniture, just for sleeping and simple cooking really).

If the subscription economy has the effect of being a low-interest loan on anything, it's not a bad deal. One would be unwise to turn down a 0% car loan-- save your money, and grow it, instead of paying up front for the entire car. Same idea, but applied to the subscription economy.
Yeah, I often wonder if people interested in "category theory" from a programming perspective are really just interested in "algebra".

Certainly most of the "category theory for programmers" tutorials I've seen have the flavor of an undergrad algebra course: starting out with a long introduction about why you should care about abstract structures, then giving a few definitions.

The only difference is that for some reason they dive right into esoteric definitions like "monoids" and "magmas" and "monads" instead of the bedrock useful things from algebra like "groups", "rings", "fields", etc.

By the way, "monoid" and "magma" are no more categorical concepts than "groups" or "vector spaces" or anything else, reinforcing my suspicion that categories are not the fundamental thing people care about here.

> Notice that there's more than one way to combine numbers. You can add them together, but you can also multiply them. Could there be a common abstraction for that? What about objects that can somehow be combined, even if they aren't 'number-like'? The generalisation of such operations is a branch of mathematics called category theory,

You would think the author was about to introduce the concept of a "group" here. Literally if you replace "category theory" with "group theory" here, the entire paragraph still makes sense. What in the world is the point of talking about categories here? Again, when people say "category theory" do they really just mean "algebra"?

It's weird. I really don't get how this caught on, and to be honest it feels a bit like cargo culting. As someone who studied math, it seems ludicrous to me that someone should care about category theory without having studied algebra first. It's like memorizing the C++ standard without ever having written a real program. The whole point of categories is to generalize algebraic structures; how can you appreciate the point of them without actually having seen any concrete algebraic structures?
I don’t think it is directly anti-Semitic, but is similar to other things that are. So it makes me uneasy that perhaps the author was trying to cloak anti-semitism.

I felt similar when political cartoons were made picturing Obama as a monkey even if the surface was non-racist. I thought I remembered a “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” cartoon but could not find it. Even though the cartoon wasn’t technically racist, I didn’t like it because it could easily be cover for genuine racial bigotry.
Theoretically agents could do these things, but most don't. They want deals to close. Giving you reasons not to buy doesn't close deals. If it turns out you don't like the house they'll be happy to sell it for you later.

This may come as a surprise, but a lot of military contracting is stuff that many people find ethically un-troublesome. Most people within a military contractor are not working on new ways to kill poor brown people a world away or how to spy on a dissident. Plenty are working on how to preserve food better, or how to keep birds away from runways more cheaply or effectively, or how to detect malware. Or monitoring groundwater for contamination.

It could also be worth considering that anyone who makes the choice to work for such an employer has already reached ethical conclusions they are comfortable with.

Windows Vista to Windows 10 as an overall platform made many bad decisions, but these are mostly from terrible product planning and UX. The internals (kernel, comprehensive HAL and huge driver library) are the only existing, solid alternative to Linux (and to a degree bsd) that does many things uniquely from their UNIXy counterparts.

As a die-hard Linux user I would be very sad to see the loss of a different platform that explores unique ways of doing things. A near-total monopoly outside of research projects isn't good for Linux, or BSD.
Cash has its own costs:

* someone needs to drive to the bank to ensure the register has enough pennies, quarters, and dollar bills to make proper change in the morning

* a system needs to be developed to prevent employees from stealing cash

* to avoid being a crime target, there needs to be a way to safely store larger amounts of cash

* there's a cost of an occasional fake bill being accepted by an employee

* someone needs to drive to the bank to deposit the day's earnings into the bank account

It's not like the US has zero businesses that deal exclusively in cash, so there should be success stories of disruptive startups going against the establishment by foregoing merchant fees and passing the savings on to consumers.

But outside of Arco am/pm gas station, I struggle to find a good example where a cash-only business, or chain, or a sector would offer consistently lower prices than their credit-card-accepting counterparts.

> has increasingly acted in a manner that appears purely self-interested and short-sighted.

So, so short-sighted. One of main reasons the U.S. can enforce these policies is because so much of the global infrastructure for transactional settlements exists here, making it relatively easy to track, directly or indirectly (leveraging access to our infrastructure to gain access elsewhere), how money moves and to punish policy violators. Abusing this power for relatively petty reasons--as opposed to bone fide defense and criminal investigations--hastens the day we lose this capability without almost no return whatsoever.

But many expected as much when the 2016 election results came in. It's the least surprising thing in the world that Trump is burning through so much soft power capital. We deserve what we get, much of irreparable.

It probably varies by the agent, but I have had good experience with a real estate agent being on the buying side. His reasoning was that the seller's agent was on the clock to close the deal on that one property he got assigned, whereas the buyer's agent would make roughly same amount of money on any property I would end up purchasing, so he had no reason to pressure me into closing.
A lot of people have tried. It seems to be like electric cars... nobody would do it until someone proves that it could be done well.

An obvious solution is to carry two devices: one for work, on which the company can install whatever corporate spyware they want, and one for personal use. There's no way I'm letting my employer administer or install unknown programs on my personal laptop and cell even with this enrollment option.

This has nothing to do with trusting or distrusting Apple. It's due to avoiding complexity: having to think about a zillion cases of what the employer can and can't do. I don't want to study a 30-page security whitepaper and 300 pages of documentation that probably come with this new enrollment thingie. But if I have two devices--with physical separation--I don't have to think about all sorts of security and privacy gotchas.
