Yep, I believe there is a way for sure. YouTube can evaluate users by how likely it is that their flag results in long term removal of a video. If a user cries wolf too many times or flags videos later marked as not controversial at all, then that user probably should not have flag powers.
As a user and a mobile game developer, please no.

I want the safety and uniformity of knowing that have gone through the review process. If it not mandatory, no one will do it and I will lose the protection I have now.

How many memory cards did you order that you can measure both? I know Amazon has a problem with counterfeits, but it's a bit hyperbolic to say all Amazon bad, all Newegg good.
Anecdotally all the controllers I've bought from Game in the UK have been sold as "new" but actually open box and used, whereas every one I've bought from Amazon has been legit.
It makes it clear if you're really paying attention, familiar with this sort of thing to a degree, and thinking actively about what is going on.

However if you are skimming the article, reading the title, aren't particularly familiar with the topic (esp. non HN audience) it is easy to get the wrong impression. There's nothing wrong with not giving your full attention to a piece of writing, there is a lot of it out there and time is short, maximizing the value per time you get means lots of things get only a little attention.

A good article means a good title and a thesis that comes out and slaps you in the face right away. The title should be a short abstract of the whole (not bait but substance) preferably including the conclusion. The real meat of the title should be at the beginning of the title, not the end. The first paragraph should lead with a high level view of the content and the path the rest of the article is going to take.

The title and beginning of the piece should both contain the entire point and conclusion of the article and sell the reader on finishing the whole with expanded reasoning, details, and conclusions.
Greenland has a lot of ice. It and Antarctica will be the last places on earth for the ice to melt, if it comes down to it.
Just read through the whole thing (don't know why) - here is the synopsis:

It doesn't really talk about any ownership issues regarding the CEO - it's basically saying that [redacted] (an early employee) embezzled/mis-used money and when fired, started claiming he owned part of the company or was entitled to compensation.

According to the thing - [redacted] was hired a COO as an early employee with no equity, they claim he was unhappy, and that he embezzled a bunch of money by paying his girlfriend, getting bonuses, and misusing the company credit card (some of this he repaid). But once they found out, they fired him, and he started claiming he owned equity and/or was owed severance.

They want the money back, him made to shut up, and possibly drawn-and-quartered.

So it doesn't look like this is much broader than that .. again - according to the doc.
Back when I was at a largish company as an engineering manager I had to negotiate these sorts of contracts all the time. Would have paid for this in a heartbeat. You guys are definitely on to something.

We eventually had an in-house person do it and they didn't love managing it either. The hardest part of their job honestly was tracking all the ones we had, ensuring we renewed on time, and talking to the procurement department to get everything squared away. When we had to move off credit cards to more corporate billing it was a nightmare to update everything.

And even when it was all buttoned up I still had to review that list quarterly to ensure we could drop old stuff, maintain which team(s) owned what service from the technical side, etc.

Next time I'm at a bigger company I'm using you for sure.
>What if the evidence is deemed offensive by a mob because they don’t like the scientific findings?

This is pretty much the history of science. It is full of instances where new findings were rejected by society at large.

I get the impression that you're trying to make some point about the environment today, but pushing against societal inertia is pretty much built into the idea of doing science. it's always been that way, and will continue to be that way until people are basically willing to put their ego on hold and consider something without judgement.
The company is currently suing the no-equity cofounder COO for fraud. Perhaps the lawsuit is entirely baseless and this is just another part of the CEO fucking his cofounder over, or perhaps there's actually a good reason for the cofounder to not get any equity. We really don't have the ability to judge based on the information we have, and calling the CEO a psychopath is a bit much.
Well he doesn't really get a low rating. The questions (coming from Gallup I assume) are vague enough that if you answer fairly at all, no one would get a 5 across the board. He gets roughly 4.5 on average, but they compare each category to previous surveys.

He doesn't really punish/retaliate so much as make us have a team meeting where we discuss the survey, and then we have to come up with solutions. The surveys are supposed to be anonymous, but who really knows. So the meetings end up with people being vague and non-committal since it's hard to directly criticize your supervisor face to face sometimes.

And each supervisor is compared to their peers, and the organization is also rated. So if people don't feel happy about the workplace 100%, mgmt feels like it's the supervisors fault, not upper mgmt. Just a bad situation all around.
I don't know... I like all the 'extra' things I can get with money. Cool electronic toys, nice stuff for my house, a luxurious car with all the cool gadgets, vacations, etc.

> I would assume you would do it in Rust just like you would in C. Where's the hang up?

Why assume? If you know it can be done, why wouldn't you provide a pointer to an example? I've done my Google searching and can't find one. There are endless examples of this for C online, I'm just stating that with a cursory search I couldn't find one for Rust.

The hang up is clearly at my end, I'm currently time poor, so now is not a good time for me to be learning a new language where I can't find good examples for what I'd use it for.

Admittedly I need to start at "Hello World" with Rust anyway before I get as far as crafting raw UDP packets. The point I'm getting at is if I didn't know how to program in either C or Rust, I'd pick C for this problem right now because there are clear examples. That's all.
maybe they can, but they don't, usually, even if they should.

Well, I actually work for a FAANG company (not going to say which one), and I didn't have to spend hours a day for months to do so; granted, I'm a bit of a math/theory junky.

EDIT:
Also, at least with the Hackerrank for hours a day, it's not for any specific company. Getting good at these problems is useful for getting a job at virtually any big company. Contrast this to the take-home project, where (in order to make sure you don't just copypaste someone else's from the internet), they make these things kind of specific, making the transferability to other things substantially less likely.
> 65. Also after the termination of [redacted]'s at-will employment, again to extract even more money from Toptal and continue to unjustly enrich himself at Toptal’s expense, [redacted] has also made baseless and unfounded claims, that he is entitled to $2 million in severance, the monetary equivalent of a two-month leave of absence, and a $40,000 bonus.

Dude was getting paid $!,000,000 a month? Damn.
The obvious solution is to restrict who can use YouTube in some way that anti-correlates with posting awful stuff.

I don't know specifically, but there must be something.
Honestly the issue is mostly due to wanting a slightly smaller, but not one character, undo. I think the problem is just that the things that I view as pauses and separate actions are almost always shorter than what the undo function sees, and undo undoes enough that it's quicker to redo and backspace than retype.

It's sobering how on the money After the Warming was. The most glaring thing looking back from now was how little time he thought would be wasted, in a few years of PR and denial, before humanity finally gets its act together with a global world war scale response and a, IIRC, UN Planetary Atmosphere Authority.

A good take on what we should be doing, even now. Well worth a watch of the whole 2 programme mini series - just forgive the late 80s CGI. :)
Yes. I see you actually did understand that after all.

Are you calling it "muddy", then, because socioeconomic mobility exists? America's socioeconomic mobility is among the lowest of developed nations and getting worse since the 80s, but regardless, in order to even study such a thing requires defining it. Its definition is not muddy, it's widely accepted and studied.

I am genuinely happy for you that you were able to achieve it. I am incredibly grateful my parents were able to achieve it. But such achievements don't mean it's not still a problem.

I'm sure it's being done in some cases (but then any shady thing you can think of is being done by at least one company out there). But it is definitely very far from the norm.
Looks like it was more than that (plus he's now trying to claim he owns a part of the company and/or entitled to $2MM.. again, according to the doc)

"[redacted]'s at-will employment was
terminated for the reasons herein explained, and [redacted] left Toptal’s employ unjustly
enriched, and with amounts owed by him to Toptal in the form of unpaid loan amounts,
unreimbursed credit card charges of a purely personal nature, and restitution for amounts caused
to be embezzled and diverted to his girlfriend and for an unapproved, self-awarded bonus, totaling
at least $629,850.46."
So your complaint is ... they collect the data you typed into the application? Fullstory almost certainly has a DPA with dex specifying Fullstory can't use the data for anything but servicing Dex.
Refusal to respond to a subpoena will result in you being found in contempt of Congress. Congress then has several options, ranging from referring you to the DOJ for prosecution to referring the citation to a federal court, effectively converting the subpoena/contempt into contempt of court, or literally imprisoning you in the House basement, which will never happen but it's amusing to note that they technically have that authority.

Subpoenas of administration officials complicate this because the primary vehicle Congress has for enforcing contempt citations is a referral to the DOJ, which is part of the administration; a civil referral is, I think? its own kind of civil suit, which is time-consuming and complicated, and it's likely that the House majority will keep their powder dry on referrals about administration officials until they have a really good case.

But random civilians aren't so fortunate, and can effectively be compelled to testify, and it's likely that Congress would not have much trouble getting their subpoena enforced.
My problem is that my mental model for what is an undoable transaction is almost always smaller than the editor's, to the point where I try to undo, get surprised by how much was lost, and then redo and control+backspace until I've deleted what I need.

>If your app needs to launch on a specific day (it doesnt), it should have been uploaded and field tested at least a couple of weeks in advance.

That's silly. Coordinated marketing around app releases is a big deal, and plenty of teams are cramming in features and bugfixes till the last minute.

~~~

The only thing a student can do is choose when to submit. Therefore the upload time should either be

1. given, (what a nice prof!)

2. unsurprising (i.e. on par with similar UX's of the age)

3. fuzzy (12:03am is okay, 8:57am is not)

4. determinable (e.g. via overwritable submission and a success notification)

There are a handful of important, ambiguous, and strict deadlines in the real world, so if that's what the prof is trying to teach, bravo. Or if they're trying to get students to do the test in #4. But that's rarely what's going on.

Disclaimer obviously I was one of those… X~D
I'm pretty sure this is 3 separate items - $2 million severance AND 2 months of pay AND $40,000. If $2 million is the equivalent of 2 months of pay, the sentence should have been structured differently.
> Yes, this is quite the Marxist way of thinking ... but this perspective needn’t require a Marxist eye - see it for what it is from a value-system that doesn’t dehumanize and disenfranchises the individual from his works.

I agree that it certainly doesn't require a Marxist eye, and I'm not sure that it is even specifically Marxist in it's analysis. It sounds closer to a Distributist model of thinking. As G.K. Chesterton said, "The problem with a capitalist society is not that there are too many capitalists, but too few". Too few who own their own means of production, too few who can rely on their own capital and community to weather the storms of life or prevent the encroachments of monopolists and the state alike.

The emptiness of the daily grind probably drove the alcoholism. But the alcoholism left him more empty.
There seems to be an asymptote. At some point novelty in places, food, people, experiences in general becomes increasingly rare. Everwhere and everyone seems just like that other place or person. Novelty as a drug has downregulation problem. And also, not everyone is wired to be novelty seeking as hard as that is for us to imagine. They even found one of the genes for it.
Is that a problem specific to the US?

I have ordered a few memory cards from Amazon by now in Europe, and I've never had issues with them. I don't think I have ever received a fake item from Amazon. Not where I've noticed it anyway.
I think it is a bit paternalistic to assume that people who don't want to wander the world just haven't done so yet.

I love having my stable job, getting to come home and spend time with the wife and kids after every work day, and knowing they have a stable life where they aren't having to move schools or worry about constant change.

People are different.

This flips causality - funding didn't really really pick up until the last 5 years or so - about two years after the initial breakthrough.

Look, I agree with this comment - managers are super eager to apply ML to tasks it has no business being applied to (at least yet). But your original claim was that all the new techniques are just glorified maximum likelihood optimization. That's just false.
I remember reading posts from Watkins on gab.com recently along the lines of the manifesto being posted first to Twitter - If true, I expect that to change things, all else being equal.
Couldn't agree more. Almost every startup in LA I interviewed with seemed to suffer from some sort of imposter syndrome. Even a hint of a question about their technology choices or their business model and they look at you like you just ran over their dog. HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE GREAT AND WISE WIZARD?!??
>What a Scientist derives from their observations has nothing -- zero, nothing -- to do with how they approach the world and others in the way of morality, pursuit of contented life, etc. Again self-reports are not to be trusted here.

Why do you claim self-reports are not to be trusted here? My understanding of morality has absolutely been shaped by empirical studies of moral thinking. When I consider whether something is right or wrong, I'm drawing on that knowledge, as well as other related knowledge that I have.

When considering how to live a contented life, I'm absolutely going to be thinking about studies that have shown levels of happiness tend to stabilize over time, and related information. And if I encounter a studies that is in conflict with my moral and ethical views, I'm definitely going to be considering those things.

That's not to say that these things are purely scientific, but it's also not accurate to say that there is nothing scientific about them.

Surely someone needs to feature this possibility in a movie somehow!
the problem here is not the option to fund a company with investors or not. Everyone keeps mixing subjects here.

here the article is about some who instead of choosing one or the other, got the best of both for himself while leaving the worst from both to his employees. nothing else. honest people can still self fund or be a startup with equity all the same without being in the news like this here.
> efforts to investigate and mitigate the proliferation of extremist content

Since the focus is "content", this reaks of trying to violate the 1st amendment.

Sometimes I wonder if our government should be involved in this at all given that (1) the country was founded by people that would have been characterized as extremists by the crown prior to 1776, and (2) the ability to challenge the government through violence if necessary is natural right of the people when that government no longer represents the will of the people.

As much as I disagree with those fomenting the violence in this instance (El Paso, Dayton and others), my fear in allowing government additional powers beyond what they already have is that some day it might be me, my family, my community and others that share my values that find themselves at odds with the government of the day, and if that day should come I don't want there to be an omnipresent, omnipotent government that curtails unalienable rights that afford us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The US government is supposed to be subservient to the people and the states by design, not vice versa.

Some of the counter points to the report holds water. The interest of Markopolos isn't neutral. And some long time observers have pointed out mistakes in his report. Accusation of accounting issues with GE isn't entirely new. GE is a beast and it's not transparent enough so that leaves a lot of room for speculation. It's probably one of the most divisive stocks out there (strong opinions on both sides). I think people with an interest in shorting it assumes the worst and vice versa.

Also, the CEO purchased a whole bunch of shares before the report and again after the report. He is probably well positioned to know GE fairly well. It's not a necessary move on his part but it does signal some confidence in GE. Also, having watched him, I can see some inflection points. If you were to graph "sentiment" of news for GE for the past couple of years, it would be kind of a parabola: lots of negatives, then less negative, then it's mixed, and now it's more of "not good enough" (although today was a hugely negative one).

In the end it's still a gamble. I'm not betting the house on it -- it's in fact a tiny percentage of my portfolio (I generally stick with index funds) but sometimes I like to keep myself honest by putting some skin in the game along with my opinions.
I think this is unfair. There are lots of jobs out there, and lots of employers looking for people with specific skills. The reason networking works is because discoverability is a problem. If I apply to every job that listed my skills as required I'd waste 90% of my time because my area of expertise is so specialist that only 10% of the people who have all the skills listed are experienced in the right ways.

Whereas if I network with people the jobs they recommend are far more likely to be a fit because I've networked with them - they know my skills.
I don't expect attempts at solutions like these to be brought up, and I don't think a session like this is necessary to bring forward an attempt like that. What can the owner of 8chan provide as useful information about this? The relevant legal procedures for violent speech are already known to Congress.
