That was my first take as well. This is explicitly called out in the Conclusions section in paper.

"Furthermore, immigrant parents were “under-placed” in the income distribution, thus allowing their children who were native English speakers and educated in the US more scope for upward mobility."

I don't see numbers on how much of the total "upward mobility" can be attributed to any of the individual factors.
Because it's pointless.

A company didn't think you are a good fit. That's it.

The criteria they used to evaluate that is totally different than the criteria other companies will use.

What is the point of providing feedback for a data point that does not correlate with other interviews?
It's not a matter of workload, it's a matter of perspective.
I am sure the meaning of "lead" varies from company to company. This advice applies to any role where you have any degree of responsibility for others' success (and haven't before).

Where I worked, as a lead I was probably doing up to 50% individual contribution and the rest "management". But I have seen new leads in the same role do 150% individual contribution, and then let their team down on leadership tasks because they've let themselves become swamped. This is a very common error for any newcomer to a job that involves leading other people (which OP specifically says is their role).

I don't think it's an error to put a coder in a position of leading others; it's just that being a productive coder is a weak predictor of being a good lead— you have to look at other markers. Having that kind of "on-the-ground" understanding can be a great strength that can't be had any other way.
Security best practices have always recommended disabling CDP in an untrusted environment (that applies to things like LLDP, too). It is comical to see how many people leave both of those running on internet exchange points or sometimes worse things (like ospf or isis). The general default on nature of products to enable this is unfortunate.
So are all the stats books. What exactly is that supposed to prove? Basic things seldom change, and remain useful.
In the world of video games, both Metroid and the Legend of Zelda are more popular in Western countries than in Japan. Actually, the whole 'Metroidvania' genre is more popular in the West than Japan in general, with Castlevania being in much the same situation as Metroid.
That's not 100% accurate (the middle class is NOT ignored at the elite privates). For example, Stanford meets 100% of the tuition for students with family income <=$150k.[1] And the assistance doesn't evaporate completely at $151k. For families with incomes <$65k, tuition and expenses are covered. Most of the Ivies are similar.

The problem is really at elite publics, which don't have the massive endowments, so cannot subsidize middle class students.

We're at a point where it can be LESS expensive for many middle class students to attend Harvard than UMich or UVA.

And all the places without snow, like California.
The upside as others have mentioned is that good feedback means you may get to hire that person later (maybe not even at the same company, people remember you if you give good feedback, because it is so uncommon)

I’ve seen this and done this as a hiring manager at multiple companies.

If you are honest, clear, and direct, and your interview (key point) does a good job quantifying the candidate’s performance, and their expectations are well set before the interview, there’s little risk of a reputation hit.

I’ve had folks push back or disagree, but it’s pretty rare and I’ve never been worried about someone dragging the company into a spat.
I'm not in Texas. I think it's an "I bought a giant truck to carry around six dead leaves in the back when I go shopping at Target" kind of thing.
FWIW I'm with you on this. I'm still waiting for the rest of the generics manifesto to, you know, manifest: https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/docs/GenericsMani...

That one and the need for generic associatedTypes trip me up all the time.

I think about it every time I see new feature announcements like today's. The opportunity cost of the wasted effort, the new thing that will probably make things harder for everyone. Possibly including those who try to fulfill the generics manifesto.

The college I went to attempted to balance these - covering both abstract concepts and concrete tools and practical skills in roughly equal measure.

I think that's fair. Some people will go on to use both to work as a programmer, some may focus much more heavily on the theory end to focus on the science part of CS.

MS Office definitely doesn't seem to have a place. Maybe for a general "computer competency" course for college students, but not as part of a CS program.
Kinematic Coupling
The way we thought about it was primarily butts in seats. For simplicity, if open office = about 1000, a reasonable closed office environment for us would have housed about half of that. If we needed 1000 to deliver product X, we’d either deliver product X over double the time or for double the (real estate) cost plus the non-local collaboration cost (not insurmountable, but it’s part of the tradeoff).

We’d need to see a closed office productivity increase of double or more to justify it, and we just couldn’t, even talking to other companies that had the kind of collaborative environment we thought of as ideal if we had infinite space. They didn’t see increases at that level.

To be clear, I’m seriously simplifying here. There are so many other considerations like workplace happiness, some amount of creative “collision” differences, churn and burnout, different individual needs for privacy, whether certain collaboration styles enabled by space fit the company culture, the type of work that’s happening, how likely that team structures will be the same in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years. Ultimately, we bet on space flexibility and giving teams more control over their space than giving everyone an office or team room. It’s hard to say what the alternate history would have been, but we do pretty regular surveys about workplace happiness and have seen significant positive increases compared to our old office (also open but much more rigid, far fewer private spaces) and general happiness with people’s access to private space and ability to get work done.

Edit: I also don’t want to overgeneralize. This made sense for us, but I think there are lots of situations where it does not make sense to have an open office, especially if you have a smaller company stocked primarily with very, very high performers doing individually-driven but very deep creative work (in the sense of integrating a lot of information). I would hope all companies would be more thoughtful about it, but I wanted to provide a little look at how a company that values privacy and enabling deep work might still arrive at an open office.

It can, right up until Google decides to change the pricing structure on 30 days notice to make everything several times more expensive than before without any provision for grandfathering or transitioning existing clients. My company had to switch off GCP entirely due to pricing changes increasing costs by nearly 5x!

AWS and Azure are both much better about launching new pricing structures, and generally when they make something more expensive its because they're adding new features (and corresponding price tiers).
I know using them for a development house would probably draw Apple's ire, but I really wish they'd license macOS, or maybe a headless macOS for servers/cloud. Doing CI on iOS and macOS apps is a right pain without some kind of build farm. It's a shame like this (https://www.sonnettech.com/product/rackmacmini.html) have to exist (It's not a dig at the product, it's a dig as the situation that created it). I could just imagine spinning up a couple of EPYC systems with macOS VMs to do CI for software for Apple products...

My council (in the North) already announced they will not ask for the full rise, but something like 1%. That's because they are well aware of the recent trend and they know the local population is feeling the heat.

I expect more will follow, because their seat is on the line - so few people vote in local elections, that minimal aggravation can quickly escalate into major upturns. They'll just cut more and more until there is nothing left.
It seems like that's for rear wheel drives - more mass fraction on the driven wheels.
That's not necessarily true. If the reason that the person is turned down is that they are massively over-reaching their experience then there is a good chance that they will experience the same rejection elsewhere.

If they want to take that on board, it's up to them and it might well be helpful moving forwards.

I will personally give people feedback if its tangible and reasonably objective but if someone just feels wrong, I think it is easier to say they were not a good fit and leave it at that.
True, and I've said the same thing every time. The status quo's fucked up.
My thoughts as well. I'm interested in hearing about new novel security issues; I'm not interested in reading a advertisement. With widespread deployment of IP Phones and the like, I think this is a interesting find. But at the same time I wish I read about this on bugtraq.
It’s a long read, but interesting. The first section is a lot of review of tactics you’ve probably already heard about post-2016.

One thing I hadn’t heard about before was the use of potemkin local online newspapers. Apparently there are a lot of them. The idea is to make them feel like authentic local newspapers with coverage on neighborhood schools, etc. People trust local papers more than national media. When you’re ready to push an agenda, you have a venue.

HN isn’t the place for politics, but there’s an interesting thrust to this piece that’s more generally about information and disinformation; noise as a tactic for overwhelming truth; the relativity of truth; etc.
Obscurity should never be your only countermeasure, but is a welcome layer of protection that is very valuable if used appropriately.

This is the future of advertising, imho. If we can target native advertising then people won't be able to tell the difference between content and ads. Consequently, they won't be able to block them without blocking the content.

I sometimes give feedback, but only if requested and, to be honest, only if the feedback request actually makes it through HR and to me.

What feels like a lifetime ago I went for an interview at Monzo, I think it'd recently renamed from Mondo. I thoroughly enjoyed the process - a kind yet thorough and revealing interview format. I didn't get the job - but it's not an exaggeration to say their feedback and the process changed my career. If somebody from there spots this; thanks :) (and I'm still sad I didn't get to work with you!)

Real, genuine, useful feedback takes time and effort to think about, summarize, and deliver in the right way. It takes thinking about what you observed about the person, when you observed it, and what you would like them to change to improve. Think about how long that takes to do correctly.

We take the time and effort to do this for people we care about, and not those we're never going to see again (unless you're just letting off steam yelling at someone in traffic). That's why at work, if someone gives you feedback, you should value it as they see you as someone worth correcting / giving feedback to. If you're getting no feedback, you might start to worry that you're not someone worth taking the time to give feedback to.

That's why companies and people don't bother giving feedback. Until you turn into someone they care about, what benefit would there be to them to spend resources to do this? And with uncertain reaction from the person (as pointed out by many stories here)?

So that's why, if you really want meaningful feedback it's a challenge to find -- you have to pay someone to do it (which is hard, because casual acquaintances don't know your deeper job-related behavior or performance), someone close to you (which is hard, because it's not easy to give friends honesty), or someone who has the time and interest to do it (rare to find). Or you have to be in a company where this is part of the culture (rare).
I would rephrase 'reinforces their identity' to 'helps maintain their sanity and happiness'.

From the article:

As some of my lawyer contacts pointed out, a lot of cases get settled out of court, and that data is much harder to get.

Anecdotally I've heard of and worked for companies that have been sued due to bias or perceived bias in the interview process. I have not heard of anyone suing or getting sued for feedback on technical interview performance, but in most cases there would be no basis for a candidate to sue.

That said I think the feedback suggestions are really off base unless the person writing the feedback personally knows the candidate. All of the suggestions are in the vein of "you clearly don't know X, you should learn it", which is fine if a candidate is actually completely unfamiliar with a topic. But the more common case, especially with basic CS stuff like Big O notation as used in the example article, is the candidate is familiar and got it wrong due to nerves, being rusty or interview time pressure. The same goes with the suggestion to recommend or buy a book for the candidate. Unless you are completely sure the candidate does not own the book already this is a terrible idea. Imagine how demoralizing buying, or even recommending, the candidate a book that they already owned and studied pre-interview could be.

I'm pro no feedback, but if the candidate absolutely insists I think feedback should be direct and based on the candidates interview performance, not perceived judgement of their skillset or knowledge (even if this is what most employers are trying to get from interviews). For example...

"You reached a working brute-force solution but did not solve the problem optimally. Here is a link on leetcode or hackerrank and a geeks for geeks solution to help you practice the problem."

"You did not come up with complete solutions to 2 out of 5 questions, even if given more time you were on the right track. Leetcode more and come back in 6 months"

But no one is that direct with interview feedback because the same set of leetcode questions that everyone asks are "company trade secrets". The feedback suggestions I gave are also not particularly tactful, but they are more useful given the current state of most tech interview process. I've learned a lot more about becoming a good interviewee from Blind and Hackernews than from any employer feedback. Richard Geldreich also has good insight into how the process works for senior candidates, and some of the political games that happen during the interview process that make any feedback even more of a joke.
Right, the auth from non-windows was a separate organizational hurdle we had to overcome, there was real hesitancy about not using a GMSA windows user to auth with SqlServer.

When you say "local mssql account is required" do you mean a user or some other entity on the linux client? Or do you mean an mssql user that the client with authenticate as?
A generic rejection is a lot less likely to piss off the candidate (which does happen). Not everyone is appreciative of feedback.
No, you just have to go to the Nvidia website and fuck around for 5 minutes with nested lists of devices and models and shit the average user probably has no idea about just to download some incredibly huge download full of over complicated software that no one will ever use.

At least this is how it has been every single time that I've installed an Nvidia driver on windows.

I stand by my position, it is easier, and trivial to install a real-time kernel in Debian than it is to install an Nvidia driver in Windows.

And if an audio professional can't be bothered to figure this out to make money while a teenaged gamer can figure out an Nvidia driver just to play games then they should maybe consider changing professions because this trivial roadblock will be the least of their technical worries in the audio world.
That’s getting a little bit nit-picky over the definition of “sue”. In this context the risk people are talking about is that a candidate will make some sort of legal claim against them. Whether that claim ends up in court really only changes the potential impact of that risk. Especially considering most HR related legal complaints end up with an out of court settlement (even a lot of the frivolous ones), because the cost of litigation (including potential reputations damages) usually outweighs the cost settlement.

There’s no legal definition of “sue”. You can’t go to court and file “suing documents”. If you define “sue” as to make a legal claim against somebody, then it’s immaterial whether they do that via a letter from a lawyer, or by serving them documents to appear in court.
I don't understand where you're coming from. Given that there isn't some global cybersecurity authority employing enough people to find all security vulnerabilities out there, security researchers need to have some way of earning money. This approach of openly working with the wider community and then providing paid professional services on top of it seems to me to pretty much be the nicest possible way of doing this. I'm confident that they could have earned a lot more by almost any other approach.
Writing good content is hard. If a writer could do it, they are rarely going to be writing it to sell. So gaming the system and writing average content (much easier to produce) and gaming the system is the best way to go.

Aren’t libraries usually open spaces? But they enforce strict silence.

So you can go tap on anyone’s shoulder but if you want to have a conversation you need to head to a non working area.

That sounds like the best idea to me. Open office plan, but no loud conversations are allowed. You need to maintain strict library like silences. However, you also provide enough breakout rooms or non quiet areas where people can head over to to have a discussion.
