I have a similar problem and am totally frustrated by the lack of human support at Twitter. It's really pretty ridiculous.
I am tempted by this more and more.

I'd be curious to hear from anyone who's tried it
apologies if it seems like we’re battling the reviewer; it’s just that there is a bunch of stuff which is simply incorrect, which is frustrating. did you see our pdf response, out of interest?
> Student loan debt is generally non-dischargeable in bankruptcy

This is the cause of the absurdly high prices for education. Lenders see a non-dischargeable loan as zero risk. Their debts will be paid no matter the circumstances, even when other debts are wiped out in bankruptcy, student loans will still be paid, or garnished from wages.

Lenders have no reason not to give out as many of these zero risk loans to as many unqualified and barely educated 18 year olds.

Educational institutions, seeing a surge of both demand and loaned money, raise their rates.

This process happens year after year, and the demand for colleges is only increasing, especially with a wealthy foreign population keen on sending their kids to prestigious American universities.
Seems like their HN account has been around since 2011 so probably not that young. Perhaps just not from North America.
Twitter doesn't care. This time it seems you were hacked, but Twitter themselves routinely decide to give your handle to someone else.

I'm not making the decision for anyone - I'm not the Supreme Commander of the Solar System (yet). I am merely advocating for destruction of adtech, as much as I can.

As for people using services subsidized by adtech - there's no rule of the universe that says you can either pay everything in cash, or have it free with ads. Those are only two particular business models out of space of many. Getting rid of adtech will only make ad-powered service providers switch to the next best model, hopefully a more ethical one.

The question you're posing is equivalent to "what about all the people who couldn't afford X if providing X wouldn't involve toxic chemicals poisoning their water supply?". Societies around the world consider many business models unacceptable; I'm only pleading that advertising as practiced be added to the list of such unacceptable business models.
That's the goal. The problem is it literally has to be 100% perfect for this to work, which is an insanely difficult barrier which has never really been done before in robotics. To call it ambitious would be the most generous way to describe it.
One little thing which would improve the ecosystem is public ci support... as simply as with other languages. Yes, eg travis or circle can do OCaml but with considerably more effort than other languages where for personal projects I often have a one liner.

We already have them, yet FB, IG, Twitter, YT are the social media behemoths.

Are you making a plea for the average internet person to care about the values of the platforms they use over the platform content? You are likely preaching to the choir here on HN, but I would guess that the audience here is only 1% of 1% of the audience you need to message.

Corps make good use of psychological experiments to optimize their utility function. "Evil is efficient." The problem is that companies optimize for money without taking into account any other factor in any significant way.

> In 1970, Nobel Prize–winning economist Milton Friedman published an essay in The New York Times Magazine titled “The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits.” [1]

Arguably this quote incentivized the destruction of "good corporate citizenship" (although I admit it's possible that concept never existed in a broad sense).

How to Remember
The WSJ caters to people who are inclined towards capitalism, and money trumps principle for a good many folk.
20% of Americans on HN are localized to the Valley? That seems insanely high. Can you cite references?
With the gentle caveat that this list of concerns feels fairly low effort — surely, with a little elbow grease, you can think of much more damning complaints! ;) — I'll try to respond in good faith:

1. The non-linearity of the code is really the whole point here. Reactivity means that you wan work on any little piece of the code at any time, and you don't have to reload the page, or re-evaluate the entire notebook. It closes the feedback loop, and speeds up the process of iterating on your ideas immensely.

2. We’ve added more keyboard shortcuts, so you can now "Shift-A" to select every cell, and then press "P" to pin every cell open at once (and then to close them again).

3. The full syntax is just the "Observable JavaScript" described in the OP. The Markdown tagged template literal is part of the standard library, and you can define your own that work just like it. In that sense, the syntax is extensible. For example, here’s a different "pl" tagged template literal that runs Prolog programs: https://observablehq.com/@mbostock/hello-tau-prolog

4. Every notebook is available for download and self-hosting. You can download the code as an ES Module, or as a tarball that you can install with npm, or load and render on a web page: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/downloading-and-embed...
1) Guilty as charged. It's far from an apples to apples comparison, but if you compare like-to-like models of EVs and similar ICE vehicles you get the same story everywhere. Around 1/2 to 1/3 the range of the ICE vehicle, and 20-25% heavier.

E.g. the Chevy Sonic[1] & Bolt[2] are equivalent EV/ICE vehicles. They weigh 1300 & 1600 kg respectively, have the same cargo volume, but ranges of ~750 km (most pessimistic) & ~380 km (most optimistic).

So that's the like-to-like comparison. We can see that all things added up these vehicles are heavier and have much less range.

2) These volume savings are overstated and if anything work in the favor of ICEs, not EVs.

Look at a cutaway of the Chevy Bolt[3] or other reasonably priced EV like the Hyundai Ioniq or BMW i3[4]. Yes you get relatively more cargo volume in a Tesla Model S compared to other Sedans, but at that point you're paying tens of thousands for a luxury vehicle whose gimmick is things like the frunk. If you drop the same money on an ICE that optimizes for cargo space you'll come out way ahead.

3) A Tesla Model S's 85 kWh battery pack is 540 kg. If that's 3-4 adult Americans they've gotten a bit fatter on average since I last checked :)

In any case, that gets you a 420 km range, which tells you something about how heavy the car would be and how little space would be left for anything else if they were aiming for ICE-like range.

4) "Gas cars do not get significantly better fuel economy with empty fuel tanks": Yeah exactly. The point is that EVs inherently do not share this benefit.

5) Yeah we're talking about cars, but the point of bringing electric airplanes into it is to show how electric vehicles are weight and volume limited in an area where everything is done to bright the weight down, whereas someone might (wrongly) argue that for cars the weight doesn't matter that much.

I don't understand. Rationalism in the philosophy world goes back to Descartes. I think that's when it was an explicit school of thought, perhaps a hundred years later at the most. I also rather like the philosophy distinction between rationalism and empricism (strangely enough, the online 'rationalists' seem to be empiricists) since it's a division between traditions with differing but obviously valuable approaches to how people know things - rather than one side simply taking the name to claim some kind of high ground. The name actually illustrates something distinctive about each group's thought.

> Singapore, not being tied at the hip to a superpower w/ enormous and diverse geopolitical interests

I lived in Singapore for 2.5 years as an exchange student. Singapore almost made me to believe it being the "Chinese Dream" come true.

I was fortunate to meet two former TSMC engineers closing on their mid fifties who pretty much took patronage of me back then and corrected my attitudes. I thank them for pulling out that "Singapore dream" porridge out of my brain.

I was of very high opinion of LKY as a leader, but later I realised that he was a very cheap man, just with a lot of charisma and verbal skills he got from British education.

First, he was the most ardent anti-colonialist, but the moment Malaysia got independence, he was first to cling to "mama Britania"

He was oratorising on inter-ethnic unity through early independence years, but was first to jump the moment talks of separation started

He was an ardent democrat in his talks, but used red scare to purge all credible opponents, including ones from his own camp

He claimed to firmly be on side of capitalism, but spent 30 years running Sing as a borderline statist/socialist state (the notion of Sing as a freewheeling capital hub is relatively new thing, and would've been completely contrary to country's self image in Seventies)

He said, on the record, many times, promising to keep his family out of power, but you see yourself how it went.

He promised to go when it will be the time for it, yet he spent his last decade in power in semi-demented state, and ill health.

And finally, despite him almost screaming all those 50 years of Singapore being a neutral country, the story of him doing "special relationship" ("selling out", in plain language) with the USA and American business is what every Sing citizen knows too well

I bet, would US government get interest in your servers, they would not need even to go through formal diplomatic channels, a single call to Istana would do that.
> but in general, "We can't comply with this regulation, it would be too difficult at our scale" is not considered a valid defense

This is a great point that I was going to phrase slightly differently: if YouTube is too large to be able to prevent harm, YouTube needs to be regulated. YouTube get the benefit of being so large, so they should also get the cost.
Except that analogy doesn't quite work. If you use a copyrighted song in a movie, you can choose to license that song (and the terms of use and cost will be up to the rights holder) -- licensing that song doesn't give the rights holder reciprocal access to your film.

So yes, I agree with you that you need to obey the terms someone else has used for their work, or else you shouldn't use the work -- but your analogy with regards to a film or a book isn't accurate.

I always thought of the GPL being more about the distinguished self-importance of programmers than software freedom. Imagine if mathematicians started putting licenses on their contributions to math. They'd be laughed out of math-town.

Look, if you want to contribute to the commons of programming, use a permissive license. If you want to cut out certain people who can't or don't want to use copyleft, use the GPL. If you can't stand the fact that someone might profit off of your work while you get nothing, don't publish anything.

Another good but seldomly given piece of advice: don't publish all your half-assed crap on Github. This is software pollution. Nobody wants to read the source code to such garbage as "stfupy3.org", but it will show up on search results regardless. No employer or potential client wants to sift through a list of trash to find the one good thing that you did that one time, that actually shows you know how to finish a program. Less is more!
Even so, you shouldn't underestimate people's ability to have a meltdown during the pressure of an interview.. I won't comment on the React question, since I've never used it and don't know what a 'reducer' is.. but even the truly bizarre for-loop you posted is likely to cause confusion to some people during the interview. If I saw it while I felt the pressure of an interview, then I'd possibly feel confused and would need a couple of minutes to understand what was happening. This would no doubt reflect poorly on me, which is unfortunate because when I don't feel the pressure of the interview then I can instantly understand (and laugh at) the code.

I believe you'd have much better results if you ascertained the applicants technical ability before the interview, and instead spent the interview getting to know the person, to see if (s)he had a positive and friendly personality. If none of your applicants have side-projects or code on GitHub then perhaps you're searching the wrong places, and/or failing to properly promote the position (especially if some of your developers are earning 2xxK). I'm sure if you posted the position in HN's 'Who's Hiring' and included a 100+k salary, then you'd get flooded by talented developers that have open source code/impressive side-projects. And if somebody with an impressive resume doesn't have that, then you can just request a small take-home assignment that's related to the work you do. If you'd like to avoid getting flooded with resumes', then you could also just reach out to the developers you find interesting on GitHub.. considering your salary range then I imagine you'd have a very high interest rate.
I understand and sympathize with your point of view.

However the risk of the international economy losing trust in Hong Kong and leaving is probably the biggest lever people calling for the continued independence of Hong Kong have available.

By highlighting this risk the WSJ is helping the cause of Hong Kong independence in one of the best ways it can.

A Terribly Durable Myth
To make my first point clear, here is a scenario:

I walk up to you on the street and suggest you give me a dollar.

I walk up to you on the street and take a dollar from you by force.

Youtube is a platform, in order remain a platform it MUST remain neutral. You cannot have an open forum with bias. There are certain mutually agreed upon rules, (no nudity, extreme violence, etc.), those limitations are more than enough to handle the vast majority of "negative" content.

I whole heartedly disagree that we need a bias towards positivity. Who determines what that definition is? Something you see as negative, I might happen to enjoy. If Youtube begins to censor itself in that way it is no longer a platform and is now responsible for ALL of its content.
I'm surprised many people missed this. That 10% of 50MJ/kg is still more than 100% of 1.8MJ/kg (current advanced batteries) and substantially more than 100% of 0.18MJ/kg (lead acid). Which my comment was about manufacturing and technology over a hundred years ago. My comment was focused on the latter comparison and not the former (which was just a side note). I guess everyone latched onto my side comment.
> ... from someone who paid his dues and is sick of the I've got mine mentality pushing the US to the brink...

I'm in agreement. My family, via a lot of hard work and sacrifice, was able to pay for college for my sibling's and myself. We all had no debt upon graduation. It was hard, but we managed to do it despite a lot of set-backs.

Though that sacrifice would be 'useless' with a jubilee on loans, I'm all for it. I've seen too many of my friends suffer under $800/mo debt loads for 12 years now. I'd much rather drink a beer with them on weekends than have them work their second jobs and drink a beer by myself.

> They cannot use anything except an algorithm to recommend videos.

I agree that with the current business model it is not possible for YouTube to sort it manually.

When I was a kid, a long long time ago, it would have been impossible to conceive that a TV channel showed that kind of content regularly and continue open. If their answer would have been that they cannot fix it because it costs money there would have been an outraged response.

If YouTube cannot keep things legal, cannot respect people rights, cannot be a good responsible part of society because it is not cost effective for me the way to go is clear. And that is true for YouTube, Facebook or any other business digital or not.
I'm getting tired of replying to troll-ish posts, but:

> Honestly you don't seem to be a well put together environment

That is a pretty bold and unfriendly statement to make based on very little information.

> you expect to hire experts in some random framework

We're hiring front-end developers to work on a react and redux application, which is kind of a de-facto standard for single page applications these days. We have an app with a highly dynamic UI that requires immediate user feedback and must work offline. I don't think we're misapplying the technology.

> I'm not surprised you're only getting code monkeys who have used your framework in passing

Again, we're interviewing people with several years of professional experience using react and redux listed on their resumes. We're also not tailoring the interview process to only react and redux specific questions, but if someone claims to have been paid to write react apps for three years, I'm going to ask them some questions about writing react apps.
Drones piloted by climate-change activists target Heathrow
However, CA has very strong worker protection laws, where the worker can incur a lot of legal costs for the employer by accusing them of violating those laws. For this reason, employers are reluctant to fire and more likely to offer a severance package to leave, in exchange for a general liability release. The company has to have all of its paperwork in order to terminate your employment or it'll be open to lawsuit. Anyone over 40, all women, all non-white people, all non-straight, and all people with medical issues or handicaps are a protected category in CA, and in firing them, the company has to show that those reasons were not involved. Put another way, it's really simple to fire a white, under 40, straight guy, but you have to be more careful with everyone else.

The net effect it has is that firings are uncommon, and people hang around until the next round of layoffs, when a reason will be found to lay them off.

Cloud providers are notorious for automated systems that will lock you out of your account, with no recourse and no ability to talk to a human about it.
I think it varies and the world needs and can utilize a mix of licenses. ISC/MIT are good in some scenarios, often client libraries and frameworks work well here. LGPL is great for libraries that have a lot of busy work that can be part of a larger system, but don't need the license to take over the larger system. GPL works when you don't want commercial derivative works. AGPL applies where you don't want online services to subsume your work.

In the end, it will depend on the goals one wishes to accomplish. I tend to avoid certain licenses and scenarios. Most of the time I will favor MIT or ISC, but have been considering how to apply some things I've been working on.
Did you have a phone number associated with your Twitter account? If so call your mobile provider and ask if any changes have been made recently, especially by store employees. If you have two factor set up they most likely removed it and reset your email address using phone verification and intercepted the text message.

For everyone else... go check your Google, Github, etc. accounts and make sure you do not have a phone number listed.
You've just described me perfectly. I also just haven't made the final push even though I have everything set up. But in my case, I fear that people will take it as a "show off" and not as a way of sharing about things I learn.
They may be looking to get out, but you are essentially asking them to leave their current job so they can spend a month (or whatever) on a paid interview at your company. You are not only giving up your previous job, you are essentially giving up your ability to interview elsewhere as well. If this doesn't work out, either because you don't like me, or I don't like you, your business, the tech stack, whatever, I am now in a really shitty position, I am giving up what little leverage an employee has in the labor market- the ability to look for a job and say no without worrying about paying his bills.

If you are doing well at a company, I am not sure how you make this seem like a good value proposition, especially in this tech job market. Another way to put it, with a personal spin- I don't work at an actual FANG, but a company that arguably pays better, and their would have to be a very large upside at the other end of this process to make it worth going through. Things would have to be very bad for me to give me up my deep in the six figure job to spend a month interviewing at some place unless it had some legendary track record.

This is all theoretical though and not really worth arguing over. I'd like to see OP try this out and report back the results, good or bad. I could be wrong, but I would be willing to wager that you get a lot more resumes just out of a bootcamp as opposed to people with proven track records currently at prestigious companies.
Ask HN: Do you like working in San Francisco?
I'm considering moving to SF for a job offer and it seems like there's a unique work culture there. I've been looking for a place where I can bike to work every day all year, and it seems like SF is perfect for that. Do you like working in San Francisco? What do you wish you knew about the work/hiring culture there before you moved?
Sounds incredibly strange... I hope you can get a answer from a human.
