The problem is, your resume doesn't speak for itself, or, more accurately, resumes in general don't speak for themselves. It's not because people lie on their resumes, but because there's a pattern in this industry of people failing laterally and upwards.

It takes much longer than people assume to get a dysfunctional team member off the payroll. In most shops, new hires spend months in a (reasonable!) reduced-expectation state of on-boarding and ramping up, during which their performance can't readily be measured. It then takes several engineering cycles to figure out that they're not working out on a particular project, after which the normal response is often to try moving them to another project. You can be more than 6 months in with an employee before there's a confident assessment in engineering management that someone isn't working out. In many shops, at that point the next step is to begin the process of "managing them out" (often with multiple stages of PIPs), which includes a fig-leaf premise that performance can be fixed and the team member retained.

And that's if things are carefully managed. Lots of teams, even good teams, aren't carefully managed, and it can take more than a year to detect and propagate the signal that someone isn't working out.

The net result is that people can accumulate impressive-looking resumes without ever effectively delivering for any team, and because resumes get more impressive over time, the roles people get offered improve as well, compounding the effect.

I'm an evangelist for evidence-based hiring techniques and a fierce critic of standard interviewing practices, which I agree are dehumanizing and unreliable. But we started our hiring practice[1] not because we wanted to include more people, though that was a happy result of it, but rather because we'd been burned repeatedly by good resumes and strong interviewing skills.

At this point in my career, for a technical/IC role (really, any role), I'd be alarmed if I wasn't given practical tests to verify I can actually back up my talk. Their absence would make me suspicious (though perhaps not dispositively so) about the technical ability of the team I was considering joining.

I'm a freelance writer by trade. I sometimes write health articles. I could not say what this article says about cause.

At best, I could say something like "Given the proven widespread lack of adequate dietary magnesium and the known side effects of magnesium insufficiency, it seems plausible to suggest that at least some portion of the increase in depression is due to widespread magnesium deficiency."

That may seem like quibbling to you, but scientists get paid to quibble about the details and to be as precise as humanly possible. They should be meeting at least as high a standard as my generally low paid freelance writing.
Customs and Border Patrol scanned 19m faces, caught 135 imposters
I have been blogging for 15+ years.

The nice thing about blogs is they are timestamped. So if you publish something that is wrong, you can say "that was then, this is now, and for reason x, y and z I have changed my mind. (Either in person or at the top of the post).

The other unfortunate reality is that most blogs aren't read widely, so chances are no one will read your mistake.
Shoplifting aside, I am pretty sure those big funny eyes came after a meeting where they discussed how to keep the robot appearance on the right side of the uncanny valley.
For anyone who wants to get a more in depth look at how to improve at something by one of the leading researchers in the field, check out the book Peak. Anytime I read an article like this or anything on how to improve, the concepts are explained in depth in the book.
> Unless another state has a very compelling benefit, why make things riskier and difficult?

Because some of those 49 states, 1 district, and 5 territories have very compelling benefits and are not riskier and are not more difficult. Which professional service is most useful to you? Incorporation and legal services are extremely prevalent.

Example:

Wyoming has API based incorporation which takes less than 24 hours and is cheaper. Faster, cheaper and better: pick all three, its a valid option!

The same top incorporation services for Delaware cater to Wyoming as well.

Lets look at common users on this site or industry:

- No Stripe Atlas target customer needs or benefits from Delaware over the above example of Wyoming. IIRC Stripe Atlas itself funnels people to Delaware

- All VC backed companies with employees have higher compliance requirements by flocking to Delaware which passed stricter securities transparency laws giving employees more rights about information

- No software engineering contractor that's lazily avoided all legalese but now heard they might want an LLC needs Delaware. They will also gain zero benefit from its fairly unique court of chancery.

- No app developer gains more benefits from Delaware than similar states like Wyoming and never has any need for its fairly unique court of Chancery. (Wyoming also has a court of chancery)

- pretty much only multinational conglomerates with complex M&A disagreements that even can be heard at a state-level court needs Delaware

This isn't to present a false dichotomy of Delaware vs Wyoming. Wyoming has the same level of benefits as Delaware for these above use cases, except Wyoming happens to be faster and cheaper to use. If every entrepreneur was flocking to Wyoming irrationally, I would point out the exact same things. Or perhaps I would have spent time with the UCC and state legislators to make even more competitive incorporation statutes somewhere else.
Clickbait headline deliberately fails to explain what to use instead of rice.

>What you want to do is first displace the water—or more specifically, all the conductive stuff in the water. You can do this best by using 90%+ isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a toothbrush. Open your device as soon as you can, take out the battery, and get scrubbing. Submerge the whole motherboard in alcohol, and scrub away. Only then, dry it and see where you stand. By getting the liquid displaced before it can dry, we are cleaning the pancake batter on Sunday morning. This is your best strategy for liquid damage.
One of my thoughts is that China is trying to be more like Singapore with their social credit system. Remember at one time you could get caned in Singapore by bubble gum.
Pretty stoked about what AMD is doing. Even if these benchmarks are inflated, it's an amazing bang for your buck and you can build some really solid budget machines. The next generation with PCI 4.0 looks extremely promising. I wish they'd concentrate on pressuring motherboard companies to make more professional non-server boards for the Ryzen 9 chips.
"Startups founded by all-female teams, despite efforts to level the playing field for female entrepreneurs, raised just 2.2% of venture capital investment in 2018."

I find these sort of statistics misleading. Why were the others unable to raise venture capital?
Ask HN: Twitter account stolen by presumed vulnerability
Hi HN,

My Twitter account was recently hijacked using what I believe is either a vulnerability or exploit within Twitter. My username was one that I consider to be somewhat sought after (I had offers to sell it).

I am not able to contact anyone at Twitter support. The Twitter support platform is just automated steps that do not help in any way.

My followers, tweets, and most importantly the connections I’ve made are gone. Simply vanished. My e-mail address is no longer associated with a Twitter account. Ifound a user on HN who had a similar issue [0] but my mobile device wasn’t hacked.

Here’s what I know:

I received an e-mail from Twitter stating that my e-mail address was changed. Prior to this I did not receive anything else from Twitter - no login notice, no two-factor authentication code, etc…

My Twitter password is/was 64 characters and is stored in KeePass. I had two-factor auth enabled on my account which was linked to my mobile. I retain sole access to all of my devices and that e-mail address. As far as I know, nothing that I own has has been compromised.

Whoever has control of my Twitter account joined Twitter in May of 2019. I suspect they may have bypassed the existing username restriction during registration.

I’ve opened multiple support requests with Twitter. All of those have been closed. I submitted a bug bounty report on Twitter’s HackerOne page [1] but it was promptly closed citing no access to individual accounts.

I reached out to some current and former employees on via Twitter and only had one response from a former employee. I also reached out to a few Twitter employees via e-mail to no avail.

I’m hoping that someone here might be able to at least offer me some advice. I doubt I’ll ever see my account again but figured this was worth a shot. Thank you for your time.

Scott

Thanks. Unfortunately we can't afford to pay front end developers $300k/year. And what we are paying is more than competitive. It's not an issue of pay, it's an issue of availability and not having the resources to stalk and poach developers from other companies. We also have a generous internal referral bonus, and various recruiters sourcing candidates. Is there something else I'm missing?

Edit: I don't think you are understanding what I'm saying. We are offering higher than average pay for a job with average requirements, and we haven't been able to find average candidates. And I'm well aware of average, upper, and lower bounds to salaries here.

I doubt this person does not care about the subject they wrote about.

And if the algorithm is producing negative side effects, then, of course, it should be looked at and changed.

I'm no expert myself, but to my understanding: any algorithm is limited by its data set.

Based on its data set, an algorithm comes to conclusions. But one can then, of course, ask: what's the basis for these conclusions?

I recall reading that a certain AI had been fooled into thinking a picture of a banana was showing a toaster or a helicopter, after a few part of the image were changed to contain tiny bits of those items.

It turned out that the AI used the apparent texture on places in the image to determine what was on the image, rather than doing a shape comparison.

Which sounds like a time-saving measure. Though it may very well have been the method that most consistently produced correct results, for the given dataset.

Frankly, the attitude of "we don't know how it works and we don't care" cannot possibly end well.

Neither the attitude "oh well make a better dataset then".

I get that we're all excited about the amazing abilities we're seeing here, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look where we're going.

I recall a story of an AI researcher who didn't want to define anything because he was afraid of introducing bias. Upon hearing this, his colleague covered up his eyes. When asked why he did this, he replied: "The world no longer exists". And the other understood.

Because of course the world still exists. And just the same way: it's impossible get rid of bias.

Some human intervention is needed. Just like constant checks and comparison against human results.

Dense shelving can have a lot of blindspots, that's one of the reason those Amazon stores are absolutely plastered in ceiling cameras; that being said 700 CCTV cameras would probably still end up cheaper than the proprietary robotics system it seems they are using now
Putting aside our disagreements on the moral equivalency of the Axis and the Allies; it is simply factual incorrect to claim that Dresden was done before any bombings on allied cities. The Blitz happened in 1940.
My guess is that whoever was organizing the interviews couldn't find a devops person to do the interview. They found a regular dev to do it instead, and that interviewer was inexperienced and asked one of the only questions they knew.

Moral: Take interview training and make yourself available to do interviews, especially if you're in a relatively niche role. Make this attitude the norm in the industry.
Since they are knowledgeable about your domain, maybe there is a position at your company that they would be able to fill better?

I do wifi tracking for a living and no there is no off the shelve solution for consumers that I have ever seen. You can accomplish this with a raspberry pi, a wifi adapter that supports monitor mode, and tcpdump set to the right filters. However, I don't see why anyone ever would.

As others have mentioned many of the top wifi brands, Cisco, Aruba, and Meraki (now owned by Cisco) provide this kind of information to clients at their enterprise level.

The reason this doesn't exist for consumers for security at least is that in the use case you described it is hard to tell what MAC address belongs to each device. Even in a neighborhood, you will detect hundreds of macs a day due to mac spoofing that modern phones do.

"Where can I see advertisers pulling out of YouTube?"

Consider a situation in which you are selling a gadget, or software.

Do you want your ad run up next to a guy using the fgt term to describe other people? Even in 'good spirits' or even 'in context'?

Maybe that's too abstract, given that you perhaps might not be selling stuff.

I do.

Frankly, I think it's all overblown, I think people should speak their minds and we should all be tolerant.

That said I don't want my products anywhere near your controversy. No, way. We put a lot of effort in what we do, we're trying to communicate a message, we 100% do not want that anywhere near our message.

When we get up and go to work and try to do our jobs, a lot of this stuff seems academic and ridiculous. For the same reason we don't want our ads next to porn, we don't want it near ugly language. I love stand up comedians, but much of their (live) work is too off colour for many advertisers.

So, the decision by YouTub etc to pull ads, but allow the content to remain is actually quite reasonable.
>This is an Unpopular Opinion, but IMHO thats kind of a reasonable stance to take.

I disagree. The recommendation is immediate and apparent to the end-user. The negative potential uses/consequences of all the other data collection are not.

It's funny, but when an unsuspecting person gets a home loan they can't possibly afford pushed on them by a shifty mortgage broker, people here cry bloody murder. But when people ignorantly consent to having their data harvested for the pleasure of better targeted advertising, the tech community happily says "but they asked for it!"

> I think BSD (permissive for developers, maybe restrictive for users) vs. GPL (restrictive for developers, permissive for users) is very similar to the Paradox of Tolerance in a way.

It very much boils down to tolerance, yeah. I've made the experience that in the communities where permissive licenses are common, there is much larger tolerance for proprietary software and services than in communities that revolve around GPL. I personally don't care much about GPL vs permissive per se, but I do care about the four freedoms and see copyleft as neccessary evil that's needed in some instances to prevent proprietary takeovers.
Thinkgeek.com is shutting down and that’s a damn shame
A problem with that is that Apple does not need to optimize supply and demand for the developer's program because they have many source of revenue such as hardware, subscriptons, media, and a cut of app sales.

If they felt desperate for more devs they could give developer subs away for free, or even pay people to make apps as Microsoft tried.

Business strategy for a platform company is all about deciding who to get revenue from and (often) who to subsidize. Apple does not need to subsidize anyone because they are established, but Uber does.
You're gonna need to expand on this for anyone to understand your point.

Are you suggesting that gentrification from an influx of out of state people looking for work are to blame?

It makes me sad how crappy weather apps are in particular. I keep getting this ad for "NOAA Weather Radar", which sounds official, but it's actually some adware by some Russian throwaway app company. I am not sure why the NOAA lets them call the app that. (OK, I actually sent them an email about it and haven't seen the ad for a while, so maybe they got caught.)

What annoys me is that weather is built into both popular phone OSes, so I am not sure why people install ad/tracking apps to get weather information. (What makes me sad is that I really like Weather Underground and subscribed for years... but now their website is super slow and bug-ridden, and I believe it's officially been canceled by their new corporate overlords. So I have no real good way to get "advanced" radar products except via GRLevel3.)
Did you see the other member organizations of the ETF? I think their definition of being "Socially Responsible" is highly suspicious. Here are the top 10 ticker symbols in that index according to the S&P indicies website:

How Exxon Mobile and Amazon are "Socially Responsible" companies is beyond comprehension.
> It is a much more powerful statement in my view to provide work in a way that allows the entire world, (corporations included) to enrich themselves and educate themselves in an open and free manner.

That is the purpose of the GPL as well.

The GPL doesn't say that you have to be a free love hippie to use the software, in fact it says that everyone can use whatever.

What it does prescribe is that if you extract value from selling FOOS (not using, but distributing) you must play by the rules of FOOS. You can not sit on the sidelines and extract value without providing anything.

Nowhere does it say that you have to share my values. But if you sell my software you have to play by my rules, and that means contributing back.

The argument advanced here is that, counter-intuitively, warming climate triggers an ice age, because open Arctic waters feed the glaciers through increased snowfall. So it was climate cooling and the freezing of the Arctic that ended the Ice Age.

And it kinda is. We provide a parser¹ and a runtime², and you can download a copy of any notebook compiled to a JavaScript module: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/downloading-and-embed...

That said, we’re explicitly designing for the reactivity of the notebook environment. Working on fundamentally reactive code in a traditional text editor is ... alright, I guess. You’re still stuck reloading the whole enchilada any time you make a change. It’s nowhere near as exciting as working on reactive code in an editor that understands and respects the reactivity, and can keep your program running and re-evaluating as you tweak it!

That said, if you're interested something less notebook-y, check out what Rich Harris is doing with Svelte 3. It's totally a not-so-distant cousin.
