> We know that cognitive ability has one of the strongest correlations with job performance

There is a good argument that the technical interview success is much more strongly correlated to the number of hours spent practicing Leetcode-type questions than to actual cognitive ability.
I like ragtime. The syncopation, the snappy rhythm-- it's good music.

I also associate it strongly with 'The Sting'. An old movie, but a great one.

I can’t remember the movie, but I recall a British character proclaiming the “Jazz is just musical wanking.” Or something to that extent. Whatever. This article is the written equivalent. I love some forms of Jazz and hate others. If you like a different set, good for you! Like what you like and ignore the haters. This was a very pretentious article.
They are long term on many things, but not things that concern national pride. It is unclear what threat a semiautonomous HK actually presents to them, beyond just being a bunch of people near Shenzhen who can say mean things about you. It’s not like a rebellion could start there, they would be perfectly happy being left alone.
I think most protesters are optimistic that if they can keep on winning each political battle like this, something dramatic can happen in their favor in 2047.

Also even if nothing can be changed, one perspective is that it is better to vocally reject rather than accepting in silence.
Chinese cyberattack hits Telegram app during Hong Kong protest
Several of the people that I've asked in Hong Kong say that they're simply fighting to protect the city that they love. There are many paths that the future can take, and while a lot of them do not look good for the way of life of many Hong Kongers, if they don't fight now then they're giving up their city freely. And to do that is just unfathomable.
I'd agree with that. I want a new DOS really badly. Not something with DOS's archaicness and limitations of course, but the modern version of a system that simple.

I think a bigger issue is that GI is only defined over 2 hours after eating. The four-hour GI is always higher and a much better indicator of high blood sugar exposure (due to eating that food).

After all, pizza is low GI if you only measure it over 2 hours.
The polygraph machine is, of course, mostly just a prop. Although I think perhaps some operators believe in it, there's actually no evidence to show that of the things it measures can with any reliability determine whether a person is telling the truth or lying.

It's not a 'test', it's an interrogation. They are trying to convince you that they know more than they actually do to try and stress you and push you into making a confession.

Wilson’s Doctrine clearly applies to the citizens of Texas in 2019 as much as to the citizens of Austria-Hungary a century earlier.

There is a bit of nuance. The executive summary is that you have to actually "plea the fifth" instead of just remaining silent.

The legal system is super complicated. Never assume you know everything you need to know and always have a lawyer present when dealing with police.
Agreed. Seeing people as completely "evil" or "not evil" is a big mistake. For example a lot of people think that if someone has nice family and goes to church he is a "good man". But plenty of these people have committed mass murder while being nice at home.

I have been doing this for a while by following a pattern found here[0]. I typically follow this and copy every asdf package dependency into the working directory of whatever project I'm working on [setting the subdir-search-registry to (list (truename "./asdf-systems/")) and placing the files into a subdirectory of that name] .This way I have the option to make changes in them without affecting anything else on the system depending on the same package. In general this means I use Quicklisp as a (huge) convenience in finding packages when programming interactively in the REPL, but not in deployment. I think this setup is also nice because it is dead simple to drop in copies of asdf packages from the web that aren't found in the Quicklisp library.

Farming used to be common and a reasonable way to make a living. It has been devalued by automation. Sure, I'd rather build machines than do labor intensive farm work year around. But again, it takes fewer people to automate and grow food than to do it the old way. Jobs were lost. If there were not latent demand for other jobs, automation would have ruined everything 100 years ago.
If ongoing risk from those ancient pathogens were anywhere close to being real, then every year when old glacial mountain ice melts and feeds the streams on which so many areas depend, there would also be serious disease outbreaks and epidemics in those areas. But that doesn't happen. Also, the scientists who drill into ancient ice and pull out cores and handle them freely would also face similar issues. But again that doesn't happen.

Another thing to keep in mind is that, even if there were surviving pathogens in that old ice, generally we are the descendants of folks who survived exposure to those pathogens at some point in the past. So it may very well be in our genes to mostly just shrug off exposure to them today.

Um, your theory of the civil war would've been news to Ulysses Grant who sent troops to many southern states to protect the voting rights of former slaves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_S._Grant#Later_Reconst...

Until the Civil War, slavery was like a scar that refused to heal. What's strange is that the southern aristocracy led their fellow countrymen into a hopeless war to defend a completely corrupt and diseased economic model.
The musical score of The Sting (a great movie, I agree) was notable because of the orchestral arrangements of Joplin's music, which of course was originally written for solo piano.

I've noticed that exactly. IQ presumably is something inherent.. But personal experience shows that technical interviews have nothing to do with IQ. They can be easily solved by creating a dynamic programming problem pattern matcher in your brain, which is what I created after doing 300 leetcode problems. I did not become smarter in general or at coding at all, I just got good at mapping problems to binary trees or dynamic programming or string search.
I’ve found searching for files on KDE (with Baloo) to be, for some reason, really inaccurate and hit-or-miss. Sometimes, even if I remember the exact name of the file, it won’t show up in the search results. Partial names have a lower probability of showing up. Slightly inaccurate names (with a Levenshtein distance of 1 or 2 to the actual name) have a very low probability of showing up. I end up searching for it using find or ag (the silver searcher).

Baloo is also indeed a resource hog. It can use 100% of a CPU core for hours and hours, while it’s indexing. But I’d be fine/happy with that if it just worked properly.

I use Amazon frequently and haven't been aware of any quality issues with anything I've purchased (though who knows for sure what their quality is), but there's definitely been an uptick in sketchy looking product alternatives made by unknown pop-up companies when you search for electronics and such. It kind of feels like viewing a modern Google search results page, where at least half the items are the equivalent of search engine-gaming blogspam. It wouldn't shock me if a lot of safety issues and hazardous materials are waiting to be uncovered in a lot of those products.
Lincoln was elected in large part because he was opposed to allowing slavery in new states (a popular position in the North) and secession followed directly from his election, because the Confederate States saw limiting slavery in the territories as an existential threat to their own practice of slavery.

It's also kind of funny to hand wave about how the war was about a "pro-agrarian society" instead of necessarily about slavery and then immediately toss in a mention that the pro-agrarian society "required" slavery.
Withdraw the extradition bill, or forced to step down from office?

The bill is not in the legislature yet, so it is up to her whether the bill gets brought to a vote. It sounds like even pro-Beijing lawmakers are growing weary of this bill, saying that this isn't worth the fight that's being made over it. The Article 23 National Security law is more of a priority for a lot of them, but that was similarly unpopular the last time it was brought up.

The most likely outcome with Lam leaving the position of Chief Executive is for her to resign. This could be on her own accord, because her legislation has proved so unpopular, or because of pressure from Beijing. This is not making Xi look very good--both internally and internationally. One of the most consistent demands of the protesters right now is for her to step down. It would not be surprising for her to do so if these protests continue.

Trump is a narcissist but he has this right. We need to cut off China's tentacles before it's too late. Start recognizing Taiwan and take military action to protect democracy if need be. The Chinese people deserve liberation.

From the university store it was student priced under $2500 with the standard ADB keyboard (iirc $130 and normally not included!), an Imagewriter II printer ($600), Microsoft Word 4 ($300), and SuperPaint ($100). Still pricy but just to give folks an idea on the retail markup on Macs back then. Plus the dealers often quoted more than sticker.

I don't mean to pick on you personally at all, but I have to reply to you a third time in this thread.

This comment not only broke the site guidelines terribly, it became aggressive enough to count as harrassment. You simply can't bully another user like that on HN. We ban people for that.

Let's look at the larger picture for a minute. Geopolitics between China and the West have taken a polarizing turn. Hacker News' audience is highly international but majority Western, so most users here identify with one side of the story. That's natural, but it means that people representing the other side are in a minority position. No matter how wrong you think their position is, you and other HN users need to treat the people you're arguing with respectfully. Otherwise we get a mob dynamic, which is vastly more destructive to HN than comments being wrong about China—and unfortunately there has been a lot of it lately. HN users who have a Chinese background, or have lived in China and so on, have a right to present their side of the story without being accused of being spies or foreign agents and run out of town. The site guidelines ask you to "assume good faith" for good reason: when people don't, it turns a functioning community into a tire fire.

Our experience with the issue of astroturfing is that internet users are all too eager to imagine it about commenters they just happen to disagree with. Having imagined it they then feel entitled to sling the accusation to twist the knife a bit further in an argument. That's not ok. If you're genuinely concerned about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com so we can look into it. But it's not ok to casually insinuate it in the threads: most of the time there's no evidence for it, and the accusation is a powerful poison in its own right.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the spirit of this site when posting here, we'd be grateful.

> Regardless of whether you use work-sample challenges or scripted, structured interviews, a bit of low-hanging fruit that nobody seems to pluck is: relentlessly keep candidates informed about what to expect in your process.

Amen. And I'd add: let them know when they can expect to hear back from you at each step. It can be as simple as:

"Here's my email address. You should hear back from me by the middle of next week. If you don't, please follow up with me."

Then, of course, follow up, even if it's just to say, "Sorry, we enjoyed meeting you but we were lucky to interview a candidate who was a better match for us. Thank you and good luck!"
You still need insulin to digest protein and for general living throughout the day, even when fasting. It'd be more accurate to say "if you don't eat carbohydrate, you need less insulin, so your insulin requirements may be met by your (degraded) pancreatic output."

On remission: if your Type II diabetes is in the early stages, and is largely due to lifestyle, then a lower carbohydrate diet could help you lose weight and improve insulin sensitivity. If your insulin sensitivity reaches the point where your pancreas' produced insulin is adequate (even for high-carb meals), then you've beaten the disease. This is the remission they speak about.
Are you sure it's the government, not some random Chinese though? I've know enough patriotic mainlanders who would do this. Brainwashed you may say, but still they would act like that genuinely.
You can bypass all of that messy calculating economically speaking.

The easiest way to calculate the marginal cost of 1 tonne of CO2 is to create a market and find the smallest amount you can pay someone else to reduce their emissions by 1 tonne.

These carbon credits exist, and they generally run for ~$40 per tonne. I presume they work, for example, by paying the premium for fully renewable energy versus non-renewal energy, thus converting some amount of electricity generation which would have been CO2 emitting into non-emitting for someone who is paying the non-renewable rate. They could also be indirectly reducing CO2 emissions by helping to pay for CO2 reducing R&D or other such projects. Or I suppose you could pay someone to extract the CO2 directly, but I would guess that's the least efficient way to spend your dollars presently.
It's usually viewed as a protective measure more than a mechanism of oppression. And it is protective. If you believe that widespread dissidence could lead to the collapse of your government then preventing that is a necessary evil to ensure your own well being.

So, yeah, most mainlanders are aware of the censorship but it's not always viewed as inherently bad. And not just out of fear of being targeted or something. It's also easier to justify things that way when you're not even sure what exactly is being censored or why, you just assume it's probably for the better.

We allow similar censorship in the US (of things like extremist propaganda or hate speech) with a similar justification. But free speech in the US is rarely an actual threat to the authority of the government itself.
Disclaimer: not a lawyer, not giving legal advice. That said, I would agree with greenyoda, although I understand your intent and your point; making that point via recorded phone calls seems to be a bit of a foolish decision. Perhaps write a blog post on your experience, or, preface your interview calls with a notification of the fact you are recording.

Your profile on soundcloud states you're from Miami Beach area and many of the companies you spoke with, or at least a few of them, are based in California. Both Florida and California are two party consent states, opening you up to a large degree of legal liability. That liability includes criminal charges as well as a potential cause of action in civil court (which could be initiated by each company against you individually). Personally, I wouldn't be sure a potential of 26 civil lawsuits and criminal charges are worth the point you're trying to get across here. Similarly, not knowing about the law or not realizing this was illegal, likely won't get you far as a legal defense.

Not to be harsh or negative towards you, everyone's opinion is always welcome here, just be careful on how you achieve/articulate it. I just hope you're aware of the law and I wish you luck.
