I agree with this one hundred percent. However, I would add that in my interpretation the users was likely talking about trending towards having narcissistic traits, and they weren't necessarily referring to NPD.

For a little context, my mother is the most narcissistic person I've ever met and she constantly told the people around her, "I like myself just the way I am I have nothing to change". She was emotionally and psychologically abusive and ruined every relationship she ever had, if there was ever a person that needed to change it was her. So anyone that thinks to themselves that they may be too narcissistic is way further ahead than a lot of people on the more extreme end of narcissistic personality traits.

I think other hallmarks of being narcissistic, which these are things she also did, accusing others of being narcissistic, creating and believing elaborate scenarios where other people are ruining your life or goals, consistently villainizing groups of people, the inability to maintain personal relationships, and most of all deflecting all responsibility for negative circumstances.

I think you could do any or all of this stuff and still not have NPD but a life long pattern of these things are a good indicator. I'm not a licensed psychologist or therapist just trying to share a bit of my experience.
I think a company like Uber would probably do well. The whole gig economy was born out of the 2008 financial crisis
They go hand in hand unless you plan to quit within a year and leave someone else to clean it up.
EBITDA profitability isn't profitability. It's profitability on all but accounting expenses, which are real expenses. It would be like saying, "I made 100k last year, before I paid my taxes, my mortgage, and my health insurance; but, I still made 100k!!!!!"

EBITDA is a terrible accounting metric that people use to hide REAL costs to doing business.

(Note there are reasons to use EBITDA, but in non-comparison environment [ie, an environment where you're talking about absolute metrics], it makes no sense.)
Ubuntu Studio doesn't need to be compiled from scratch either, but easily provides better performance specs than MacOS out of the box.
There is a legal definition of "sue" and it does mean just that, to file a civil claim in court. You may receive a nasty letter from a lawyer threatening to sue you unless you fulfil their demands, but that's kind of the point, they're threatening to sue you but at this moment you haven't been sued yet and won't be until (and unless) they actually do file a claim; and it might as well be just empty threats asserting that they could do that with no actual intention to follow up (lawyers do that), so it's an important difference between threatening to sue (which can be done frivolously) and actually suing.

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=legal+definition+of+sue&s=d

https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/sue - "To initiate a lawsuit or continue a legal proceeding"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sue - "to seek justice or right from (a person) by legal process" (all the letters and negotiations up and until a suit has been filed is not the legal process); "to take legal proceedings in court".
Of course we compared cubicles to private offices back when there were still cubicle farms and found them "soul crushing".

The leap to open floor plans was a whole other level. It's like plotting soul crushing on a log scale.

Data-Driven Components for Web Development
UK and Canada are parliamentary systems so most ballots are one page. Most of those are just a single question with one selection permitted.

In the US the ballot I get in my polling place depends on where I live and sometimes what party I am registered with. My ballot will likely be different than the next person in line. That ballot is many pages with numerous questions per page. And for about half of the questions I am permitted more than one selection.

Machines are a good aid here for this system. Verifiable paper tallies are good for election security though.

For a lot of interviewees, particularly on phone screens, there is just no constructive feedback to give.
Why do you buy so many devices which come with chargers - i.e. phones and tablets, mostly? I'm on my 4th 'smart phone' in total, counting from the original Nokia N-GAGE (the 'taco phone', got it because it was a cheap and easy way into the 'smart' phone world). I replaced the Nokia because I cracked its screen, the Qtek S200 because I ran out of replacement batteries, the Motorola Defy+ is still in use as a 'work phone' and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is my current main device. Add to that 2 tablets (plus an early third one (Ainol Novo 8 Advanced) which charges off a 9V adapter, still works) and I'm up to 5 USB chargers (plus a Nokia charger) in 16 years.

Also, don't take those chargers to the dump, instead take them to a thrift store or some charity. They can sell the things for a few €, the things get reused, everybody is happy.

I don't even mind paying on demand to stream a film. It's annoying and economically baffling when you can't stream a film even if you have your credit card in hand, ready to pay.

Last weekend I tried to find To Live and Die in L.A. -- from the 1980s but hardly obscure. I couldn't find it legitimately available to stream anywhere, for any amount of money.

I even tried Kanopy, which has been my go-to source for films I can't find on paid streaming services, but they didn't have it either.

But why? Isn't watching Friends a viable reason to own that subscription?
Full title: TikTok reportedly waited nearly 3 hours to call police in Brazil after a teen's death was livestreamed on the platform, but the company notified its own PR team almost immediately
a lot of the markets they operate in have had large recessions that they have done well in (IE Brazil). Operating theory is that on the margin, (for riders) people decide to own cars less and use alternatives more as cars are expensive and require large upfront costs but things like uber do not and (on the driver side) people have less alternatives to make money (higher paying, more stable jobs with benefits) so the uber driver gig is more appealing and driver acquisition costs are lower.
That’s a great question, and I’m not sure. Googling around led me to an HN thread where a commenter claims that it is TheSans (lucasfonts.com/fonts/the-sans) but I do not have a good enough eye to confirm!
Depends on the product but I often think of catchphrases or characters that would be fun to use. For example, about a month ago I thought that Sam Elliott would be a great spokesperson for a new American Light beer. He would play a rancher or something like that and kinda explain why he drinks the beer.

Fast forward: Pepsi used him in their latest super bowl ads. I think they did a great job! However I don’t think He and Lil Nas X’s commercial is as sticky as you want if your spending that much on an ad.

Are you an immigrant yourself or a child of immigrant parents? Yes, because immigrants on average have it harder they also work harder. Usually their children reap more benefits but the children's children flake out. Not sure how much of a trend this is but I've noticed this...

I believe that was an annual number. Not sure runway makes sense for an entity this big. They recognized billions of stock comp. There's enough enterprise value to generate cash in a variety of ways. The company might kick and scream to not do anything dilutive but its hard to see a scenario where they couldn't access the capital markets if backed against the wall (albeit at maybe an expensive rate).

But I'm not intimately familiar with this stock.
this is really curious, to me it feels like systematic inconsistency (sometimes semantic inconsistency, sometimes linguistic or syntactic inconsistency)

what is the trick?
Uber would do well because there would be a flood of people with more free time and looking to make quick cash with their cars.
My experience is different: I've seen all three Hobbit movies in HFR with 48fps and it was gorgeous whereas interpolation is not even close to what I've seen in the theaters. Cinema is not in FPS count but in camera movements and frame composition. Cheap TV shows and movies look cheap regardless of FPS count.
For whatever it’s worth fast.ai is my favourite MOOC and the most impressive set of videos I’ve seen shared freely on the internet. Thankyou for everything you do!
Tangential, but I've wondered about the opportunity for a company like Fedex to send freight on rockets between Fedex's major hubs, like Memphis to Guangzhou, so that you could get literal 'next day' service to the other side of the globe. Obviously very expensive, but also, at just $2,200/lb, there might be plenty of things that would be viable, like rushing an organ transplant or delivering an iPhone prototype, cutting out the 14-16 hour flight from Memphis to Guangzhou. Surely there are some scenarios where it starts to make sense, even at $10,000/lb
Mostly luck of the draw; I was non-remote for most of my career (12+ years) before and one day a recruiter for a fully remote company pinged me with a role matching my skillset and I responded to it and interviewed.

Perhaps the only worthwhile point to mention is that I took a step down in level/title in order to make this jump. In the previous 3 companies I held various titles of Staff / Principal Engineer or Architect (i.e. 1 or 2 levels above Senior) and I took this job with a Senior Engineer title. Being able to move out of the bay area as a result though, makes it well worth it. I'm infinitely happier by not living in the bay area.
Maybe. I suspect there might be some value hidden in the aggregate data on Glassdoor (but that really is just as susceptible to the same type of manipulation). The number 5 may also be significant or insignificant depending entirely upon the size of the organisation.

But really, if your reasoning was robust, it would work in both directions. I don’t think you’d agree with the statement “if five people say that their work environment is great, there may be something to it”. The system can be (and is) gamed in both directions, and there are people who have incentives to do so in either direction, for both “justified” and “unjustified” reasons. Any reason you come up with to be skeptical of a good review also applies to a bad one.
Is there prior art before alleged sabotage leading to pipeline explosion in 1982? [1]

Zetter's Countdown to Zero Day points to that with skepticism and also talks about Kosovo as one of earliest cases, as does Sandworm.

Do you think this is roughly correct?

I am willing to bet that most people do not care enough to fight it. They want cheap, everything else is secondary. They will rationalize that all of this testing has made the MAX arguably the safest airliner they can fly in, and step aboard they will.

Most people are not well represented by the fine folks on HN.
Professional courtesy doesn't matter much when it's now the norm not to be curteous, and thought to be unprofitable (in all the ways benefit is measured, not just in monetary terms) if the company is curteous. There is no professionalism above the level requried to maintain an increasing rate of profit. Workers in all industries since the beginning of waged labour have learned this fact the hard way.
> The argument was that it only takes one metric to convince a regular person to move

No, this is not at all the argument I made. I was pointing out that built-in appetite for risk (or being a go-getter or whatever) is not the only explanation for why someone would come to the U.S. illegally. That the conditions in their home country shift the risk-reward equation so that more people are willing to immigrate than would otherwise.

If everything were simply about appetite for risk (or being a go-getter), then you would expect immigration from Canada to take place at similar rates as immigration from Mexico (since incomes in the U.S. are significantly higher than in Canada). But you don't see that, because the delta between Canada and the U.S. is way smaller than it is between Mexico and the U.S., and so the risk/reward equation doesn't work out for nearly as many Canadians.
I agree with this. I saw an article awhile back detailing issues with bank loan algorithms. Although race/gender weren't a determination, it looked at credit scores and ability to pay the lone back.

The majority of minorities fell into this category and the algorithm was deemed 'racist'.

Fixing the algorithm will not solve the problem and more likely than not, it will make the loan system unstable for everyone by giving out loans to people that can't afford them and most likely will never pay them back.
Or perhaps they use the benefit to attract better competence? Higher pay vs a more secure work life balance is of course the decision to make here, and seems like op of this thread made a decision. What are you trying to proove?

There's a lot of vibration, but the G forces are not that high, and they are particularly low during launch. The highest G force is right before the main engines cut off, once the rocket is already in space, at which point you presumably don't care anymore...

For falcon 9 you don't even reach 2G until more than 60 seconds into the flight when the engines throttle back up after passing through max Q.

To help develop your capacity for empathy (which is a skill you can work on) I suggest actively envisioning situations from other peoples' perspectives.

For example, say you have some delicate news you need to deliver to a coworker. Follow these steps: A) Close your eyes, B) construct the situation in your head, C) take the role of your coworker, and D) imagine delivering the news to yourself. It's impossible to do this 100% correctly because you are not your coworker but you'll get more than you'd think from exercise.

This is especially true if you practice step C).
So we know there were catastrophic bugs in the 737 Max, they've found additional bugs that haven't been catastrophic yet and now we hear that the Starliner also has software bugs. I'm going to order a copy of "The Mythical Man-Month" for Boeing ... they need to get way back to the basics.

The core info can be downloaded in GED format into a free genealogy program such as gramps. There will be some extra proprietary extensions but the basics will be there. Their selling point is that it indexes everyone's tree and it will offer hints when it spots overlap. Can be very time saving, but also misleading. Check everything against official BMD records if possible.
I was with you until the last point. The resources are not artificially limited. The US spends almost a trillion tax dollars each year on education. We’re at over 4.1% of GDP spent on education (excluding private money), well above Germany, Spain or Italy (about 3.6%), about the same as the UK (4.2%), and not too far below France (4.6%). https://data.oecd.org/eduresource/public-spending-on-educati... Those are the five largest EU countries comprising more than 2/3 of the EU population. We also spend more than Japan, Ireland, and about the same as Korea.

I think we absolutely need to spend money to address disparities in the experience of African American kids in this country. I think the wrong way to do that is to funnel more money into disproportionately white teachers and school administrators. Direct cash payments to inner city families I think would go a lot further.
While there's not much meat to the article, the topic of whether and how to police algorithmic decision-making is an interesting one.

On the one hand, biased resource allocation can be insidious and giving a free pass to any discrimination that's implemented within a black box labeled "algorithm" seems foolish.

On the other hand, none of the alternatives I see:

* banning a predefined list of analytical practices,
* outlawing a list of input types that may be used,
* second-guessing the quality of not-transparently-unjust logic to assign negligence, or
* defining a "fair" outcome that's not to be deviated from

seem both administrable and sufficient, especially as the stakes go up and complexity necessary to improve decision outcomes becomes more complex (turn left-right-straight given a LIDAR image, predict likelihood to reject an organ given patient history and donor/patient DNA profiles).
A co-worker decided it would be funny to draw penises on the credit card signature forms.

PE-focused guy here. I see EBITDA daily.

Adjusted EBITDA is just a funny way to say "we found a way to make us look profitable by shifting whatever we want in the cost lines". Unless you know specifically what they are doing to manipulate it, it's basically a bullshit metric to make a company look better than it really is. Often you'll see investment bankers make adj. EBITDA claims and its the buyers job to sniff out really what is going on.

Even EBITDA (which is a standard measure with standard calculations) is considered by many to be a bullshit metric:

In a vacuum that might be true, but software engineers know other software engineers, and there are plenty of forums for discussing hiring experiences, including HN. If a company systematically treats people they don't intend to go further with like crap, their reputation with other candidates will suffer. You'd like failed candidates to not talk shit about your company when their friend considers applying.
Really?

Old people are fragile, but a rocket launch is <3G [0], they could choose a gentle launch profile, and it's a nice constant force pushing you back into a nice padded seat.

On Performing Queerness and Mathematics: Emily Riehl Interviews Mike Hill
In my opinion they are the same.

If you stand up for your product, you are standing up for your users, or your clients if that's a less ambiguous term.

For some teams, for example a lot of teams in Google and Facebook, the end-users are often different from the Product's clients; the client of Google's Chrome is Google's empire. The programmer that added the X-Client-Data header undoubtedly improved the product, at least short-term-business-wise, while actively harming it for end-users. Someday end-users may leave if they continue to erode trust, but for now it's a boon for the Product.

Edit: Please don't work on those products. Please develop products that respect people. If you develop trust, and actively respect people; I posit that a lot of people will opt-in to reasonable analytics, and even advertising. If many don't now, they might when the dust settles.
I find I'm much more comfortable giving feedback to new college graduates. Often times there is glaring weaknesses they can work on improving to get the best job possible.
The characteristics you describe probably apply to way too many people than you think.
Even people who think they are otherwise.

For people really looking to go further than themselves there is no self-improvement script but books that look at the condition of the self.Maybe Seneca and Eastern Philosophy. The problem however is that just reading book/s are not going to get us anywhere far. Applying them and thinking over them helps. It doesn't however help 'improve' any of our day to day tasks, but frees our mind. However I believe these have the first principles of the self every person ought to know to get beyond the self.

They're subsiding geographies that haven't yet reached critical mass for economy of scale to kick in. In mature markets they're profitable, so eventually when the other markets become mature for uber they'll also be profitable. The evidence is there. The money is put to good use. The only question mark is waymo/tesla/etc competition otherwise Uber would be a good bet.
It might fix what the OP has, whether or not you call that narcissism. I'd say they've already shown self-reflection by posting their question
Meh, likely you're just used to the ways that cars fail to obey the law. Every day on my driving or biking commute I see cars failing to signal, rolling through stop signs "because you can't see from the actual stop sign", speeding, honking because they're mad at someone, directing traffic, illegally turning, failing to yield right of way, etc.

Straight up running red lights or stop signs does seem like it is overrepresented by cyclists, but I really don't they they're overrepresented for generic 'breaking the law'.
