I'm tired of a sociopathic CEO who treats his employees and customers like shit, puts the driving public at risk with untested software, flogs unsustainable greenwashing scams, and gets away with blatantly defrauding the investing & taxpaying public time after time (fake solar roof tiles to push through the SCTY buyout, "$420 funding secured," 1 million self-driving robotaxis by 2020, etc) because prosecuting him would cause the price of a particular stock ticker to go down.

Not another ToDo app?

I've always wondered why ToDo apps are so stuck on lists. The Eisenhower Box ('four quadrants') is a much better idea but hardly anyone uses it. What I've always wanted though, was a 3D plot. Since AFAIK no one has built one yet, I made one myself.

This is just a rough demo, not an actual product. I'd be interested if anyone thinks this (the idea or the implementation) is useful.

What Are Facebook Custom Audiences? [Examples of How to Leverage Them]
Your comment comes across as intentionally condescending, so it doesn't really seem designed to inform or persuade. You should probably reflect on your motivation in making it, as most of the plausible motivations I can ascribe to it most people would consider problems that need resolving. (Possibly an attempt at feeling superior, possibly a resentment at the burden of raising children--hard to say, but also hard to come up with anything charitable for a comment that, as mentioned, seems to have condescension as its main focal point.)
Having the same experience and background as you I took a different perspective: I use that system of interview to filter the companies _I_ don't want to work for.
Depends. This is the case in the US, but in the EU, “insider trading” is more absolute, just “trading on non-public information” (regardless of how it was obtained) and can happen even without fiduciary duty.
The fact that it has changed hands or not is irrelevant, there are valid use cases for ownership change, and there are many ways to "monetize" via malicious partner without selling the extension itself.
What should be monitored are changes in the extension codebase that inject 3rd party scripts and/or modify the list of external endpoints the extension is exchanging data with.

This is a significant misreading of the phrase "social benefit" in the context of auction design.
I am aware of the convention, and that anything somewhat creative is supposed to be protected by copyrights.

Are people share the things without permission there, so frequently? Even if so, why should these sharing be legal?
I think if someone's better with 5 years' experience than 20 years' experience then they have a very low skill ceiling for the task at hand.

Part of that 20 years' experience, of course, is learning to ignore 'best practices' that actually aren't 'best' at all (or more likely, are 'best' for some situation you're not actually in).
"Making way tax cuts for the wealthy" - yeah, that article is totally not biased.
> Why?

Because, despite your obviously correct arguments, the brand name Arduino is pretty diluted and commonly just associated with the range of chipsets that made them popular these days (maybe with the addition of the ESP32/8266s in the last few years). That might change in the future but the common usage of the brand name is pretty independent of their product lines.

It's needlessly complex because it doesn't solve any problems I have or any I have heard of. A simpler auction would still work pretty well, and be more easily understood by participants.

I ask because the only case I can think of this providing any value, it would be too complex. The example would be splitting up the assets after a divorce, where each spouse bids on the parts of the estate. A VCG auction may be more accurate, but what couple or lawyer would agree to use this system? It's too complex.
“Of course, to be honest, the consequences usually fell on a more junior programmer who had to deal with an irate developer that had something unexpectedly stop working when I tore up the code to make it “better”.”

Ye people like you kinda suck.

Unfortunately, you’re just now learning that maybe the new implementation isn’t “better” but that it’s just...new.

And now it’s slowed down the team too. I know it’s John Carmack, but still it’s not very collaborative nor empathetic towards your coworkers to plow through code like you’re the only one working on it.
I didnt say that arduino does not work on other boards or that atmega328p are the best. I said that if you say runs on an arduino it means runs on a 328p, same as you can say I can run faster than a Ferrari (keyholder)
Really? I look at all of the big, successful companies around and their founders were typically over 35 when they founded them. Silicon Valley's young-founder-billionaire thing is hugely atypical in the rest of the world (and hugely atypical in Silicon Valley too, but the few who've made it huge are so visible that people think they're the norm.)
As an outsider with admittedly limited knowledge. What would happen if you limited movement on a stock to be on the second?

Would that not prevent this never ending race for faster and closer access. Something that doesn’t really seem to be adding value to society or the market.
Uneducated population doesn’t understand the repercussions of their choices and can be easily controlled through FUD. There have been regimes (e.g. Portugal’s military dictatorship) who made lack of education an official policy.
Writing books is how you get good at writing books, and young people read books too, so it's no loss if an older reader feels it's immature. Perhaps in their wisdom, the older reader could find some empathy for the younger writers current lens that they are writing through.

I’m genuinely concerned about data privacy, but I’m kinda surprised about the outcry about all of this. I guess it’s relatively common knowledge for hacker news readers that all of these systems need to have human intervention to improve, but I feel like all this could have been avoided by just explaining that this was how the service was able to improve... I’m sure more steps could be taken to anonymise data from the people doing the transcripts, but I feel the best part of this is to improve the wake word detection to reduce the false positive rate.

Most exchange open/close auctions use time priority to deal with order imbalances. If there are buy orders for 300 shares and sell orders for 500 at the same price, then only first 300 shares on the sell side will be filled.

The speed incentive is a consequence of time priority, not the auction frequency. Switching from continuous auctions to open/close style auctions every 5 minutes would not remove the incentive to be fast.

Matters on the definition of en masse. As anecdotal evidence many of my friends hold an older version of iPhone and refuse to purchase a newer model. I think 6s is the peak of mobile phones and for me there is nothing new that Apple could add. If they were keep producing 6s with better CPU or more memory over time I would keep purchasing that phone. Since they degraded the UX for me in the newer iPhones I won't buy it any more.
Ask HN: Why would Human Interest (YC SC15) make such arrogant statement?
They posted at HN a public rejection to people with certain personality traits (genuine tech geniuses with almost asperger syndrome) as if they were trying to score something, why didn’t they publish that on their private twitter? What do they earn from that? Does someone understand this marketing move? Aren’t they in fact publicly dismissing diversity?

Do Uber and Microsoft pay as much as Facebook/Apple/Google/Netflix/Amazon? The acronym exists for a reason. I think Amazon only makes the list because of how well their stock performs, but it still deserves to be on there because of that.

The only large company I can think of that matches or even exceeds the offers those companies give out is (surprisingly) Snap. If we go smaller, Airbnb and Pinterest are up there too, but they don't have nearly as many employees or open positions.
I don't play games and i am proud of my work, but i pretty like the mentality of your workplace.
As someone going through this right now (turning 32 in October, eek) I've come to realize a few things that have helped.

"Good enough" is an all encompassing set of criteria. You can be the most brilliant person in the world, but if you are unable or unwilling to take the necessary risks to achieve X, then you re not good enough. If you're too risk taking, that's also not good enough. Everything plays into that.

Like a former F1 driver whose name I can't remember said in a podcast once: "Yeah I was good. I was really good. On my best days I was faster than Schumacher, Senna, Prost, and all of them" ... "So why weren't you champion?" ... "Well that's the thing. I was amazing on my good days. The real champions, the ones that make history, they don't have bad days or good days. They're _always_ at their best."

The other realization: You play the cards you've got, not the cards you wish you had. Wherever you are right now, whatever you've got in terms of skill, assets, connections, etc ... that's what you've got to work with. Focus on playing the hand you have the best way you can.

Do you know about about:performance?
I mention I am a linux sysadmin but I should have been clearer: I always use perl for <100 line scripts. Back when I started and in my peer group we made clear difference between programming and scripting. I never learned programming, I don't need to as that's not my job. I write small glue scripts and that's where perl shines and I see nothing else having any chance to replace it from what exists now.

dillondoyle>> Fucked up private insurance in US, they charge that much and then do the reimbursement so they can bill the huge monthly cost to plans / government that will cover it.

I was reflecting to this. If drug cost is part of healthcare cost than by definition it cannot be apples to oranges comparison.
I'm only thirty, but my view is that my ability to succeed only grows as I get older as I have more world experience, knowledge and connections to pull from.

Also from Australia, and we are a pretty optimistic bunch in polite company. My opinion is that people are increasingly more likely to settle for the life they have already, so they don't try big things, not that they get less likely to succeed at them.

As someone else pointed out though, we aren't in the silicon valley rat race. We have a much less turbulent and ephemeral economy to work in. I think if you take on real problems you can see long term success here, it's just not going to be a billion dollar venture funded exit.
Just update your goals. Who says that one accomplishment is better than the other? You are not a quitter or a failure only because you did not complete a goal that was arbitrarily created by a younger you or someone else.

Surely some material success needs to be accomplished but it is proven that above a certain level the returns of it in term of happiness diminish.

You can also forget about goals that younger you imposed on you.
I am sure that even younger you imposed even sillier goals that you just outgrew. Maybe you aspired to be the best in Counter-Strike, date the most popular girl/guy in high school or becoming a great PHP developer who works for Yahoo? Who knows but nobody cares anymore.

You can outgrow the current ones too.

Opportunities and aspirations come and go as we grow, age, get sick or well, poorer or richer. Don't stick to the old ones and explore the ones that are appropriate to your situation.
This implies educated people can't also be easily controlled. It may require different specific tactics, but I see little evidence that they can't also be controlled, generally speaking.
> Maybe our industry just grinds the greatness out of you by 25 or 30 unless you actively fight it.

Maybe people just get tired of churning out CRUD apps after 10 years and want to do something else. A lot of stuff loses its charm after you see behind the curtain.
Would be nice to read more about technical sides of this transition. Also getting rid of Java code, that is so popular among financial institutions, will increase the speed. Something like Rust is a perfect fit[1] for such industries.
