On the flip side, as an interviewer, this all incredibly true.

In particular, I frequently end up asking algorithmic questions during interviews. For all the hate that they seem to get, I find them to actually be quite predictive; in my experience, the people who are extended offers despite just barely getting by in that portion of the interview are also the ones that struggle when those types of issues come up during actual development- and yes, despite claims to the contrary, basic fundamental algorithmic knowledge really does turn out to be useful in a surprising number of circumstances.

However, I will say that the utility is entirely based on how the interviewer handles things. I've passed many candidates who have failed to complete the problem at hand because throughout their attempt they demonstrated an ability to communicate, an ability to reason about a problem, and an ability to respond to feedback during the course of trying to arrive at a solution. In particular, one of my favorite questions has a tendency to make candidates try an approach that ultimately ends up being a dead-end as their first attempt. That's fine! It's completely natural! The really interesting bit is how they they respond when I produce counterexamples that start showing the limitations of that approach (and, ultimately, its infeasibility.) Do they keep digging the whole? Do they rethink their approach? Do they say "Yep, that makes sense, but let's see if we can get this done for the easy case and then we can approach the more general problem?" Those sorts of questions are the ones that ultimately end up being the most valuable.
Excellent example of confirmation bias hacks. Note how you avoid the actual subject, and instead make it personal, and (without evidence) are sure of what I "believe". I explained why and how that works in the link I provided. Note again your reflexive use of that term.

Is it normal for a man to tag an infant picture he posted #hotard? What are #chickenlovers?
Oh I wouldn't be surprised.

A few years later I actually had visibility inside that bank due to my work. There was a whole IT team dedicated to "review this and fix the horrible decisions we made in the past". I didn't have visibility to their web interactions / front end and such but it wouldn't surprise me if that was just as much a project to clean up.

To their credit whenever I talked to the "clean up" type team they were super sharp guys and quite willing to listen to outside vendors (me) who sometimes saw stuff the guys inside maybe didn't.
I have helped Thrive Market, Shopbop and Skillshare with managing outreach with influencers and programs, would love to chat. rob@glohbal.com

Few suggestions, yes there will be strong initial push from influencer. Then need help in continuing to drive traffic after the initial boost.

I think most of the media narrative is too negative on influencers with few bad apples. 90% + of them have dedicated audience, close relationships, honest and overall pretty smart.

One example publisher is Kelly in the City. I know she drives sales from past projects I've done with her.

Email: hackernews splat dotancohen spot com

Now is actually a terrific time to hire me due to the Coronavirus lockdown.

I am an experienced software developer who works well in teams and on my own. I am often praised for my ability to quickly come up to speed with new technologies, and often find myself as the fix-it guy for people that I work with.I love to break routine and work my way through a difficult problem. Others often rely on me to debug their must frustrating bugs, which I enjoy. I have experience building CRM, CMS, and other business application software both from scratch and in popular frameworks. I follow industry best practices and ensure that the systems I write are secure and maintainable. I have planned and developed new systems, maintained legacy systems, and led teams which have done so. Software development is not only my profession, but also has been my hobby since childhood. I enjoy work and always arrive with a happy attitude.
Haha right? I seriously don’t get how Elon Musk pulled 120/hr weeks on the regular. Well, actually I guess I kind of do, a little... if you are super passionate and invested that makes a big difference.

Anyway, I did this as part of my Seven Day SaaS Challenge (https://sevendaysaas.com), where the goal is to constrain the amount of time behind a keyboard coding in order to force real world interaction with potential users, alongside marketing and the businessy (aka critical!) parts of building a SaaS. But, I’m an overachiever and I had high goals for this app, hence cramming a lot into one week. :)
Frontapp | San Francisco, CA (SoMA) + Paris, France | Engineering, Product, Design, Data, Sales | Full-time | https://frontapp.com/jobs

Email is the universal communication tool for work. It’s where you discuss work, answer questions, and talk to all of your customers, vendors, and partners. But email wasn’t made for business and hasn’t evolved to help you work with a team. So you’re dropping the ball, missing important context, and relying on many siloed apps that make you less productive as a whole.

With more than 5,000 customers and $79 million in funding from Sequoia, Threshold (formerly DFJ), and others, Front is reinventing the inbox so people can accomplish more together. We’ve created one place where you communicate internally and externally, gain context about customers and projects, and access all your other tools so you can be more efficient, more fulfilled, and ultimately happier at work.

We are looking for experienced individuals to help us extend and promote Front and bring collaboration beyond email.

We're growing rapidly, and would love to meet you. Take a look at our open roles here - https://jobs.lever.co/frontapp?lever-via=1C01dbPRMX
Wayland by default prevents applications from accessing other application display, input and output, while on X it is basically free for all. Any application can see what any other application is displaying, read it's input & send it it input events.

This might have been fine in the past, but is not really OK any more with efforts to make things more secure (eq. to prevent a malicious application to read you password entry, make screenshots of sensitive data, inject input events to your secure sessions, etc.).

The side effects is that new protocols need to be developed that applications can use to request access to display/input/output of other applications in legitimate cases (such as screen sharing in your case) & not all is in place for that yet.
Indeed, I spent hours trying to figure out what was going wrong.

No hyperlink in any reasonably-authored messaging app is both going to download+run an .exe file without confirmation AND send your credentials to the remote server without prompting. It's absurd behavior
I'd argue that focus on Zoom's security is important now more than ever, precisely because so many people are now using the service.

And to be fair, having a 32-char password limit, and silently truncating passwords to that limit, are both pretty poor practise - especially nowadays, we just shouldn't be seeing flaws like this.

I read the linked article. At no point did it (or as far as I can recall any of the coverage at the time) say that the video stream data could be accessed via the local web server. The problem was already bad; no need to make spurious claims to make it worse.

Do people make passwords longer than 32 chars?

I was under the impression that with 16 random ascii characters it would take all of the computing power on earth until the heat death of the sun to crack it.
A new URI would have made a lot more sense. This current plan, intentionally causing collisions with actual real DNS, is a disaster in the making. .crypto is one of the most desired and anticipated strings for the next round of gTLD expansion, and ICANN is not gonna forego the revenue from that auction. This is all a guaranteed disaster in the making.
Portugal gives migrants and asylum-seekers citizenship rights during outbreak
I would still disagree with that. Enforcement is part of their role, but not their entire role.

You can absolutely tell a police officer to piss off, and if you’re not doing anything illegal there’s nothing they can or will do.

Police officers don’t just get involved in crimes. They also have a huge role in discouraging asocial (but completely legal) behaviour. The idea that policing can only be done with enforcement and a stick is completely false.

With regards to your point regarding a HN person on the internet. They’re on the internet, not in front of me, that’s a much bigger factor than if they’re a police officer or not.
You get part of those 10 hours "for free" just from the basic due diligence that you should apply to determine if you want to work for the company/department/team in the first place.
The productivity boost I have seen for teams is the large drop in meetings. Better yet meetings in many cases end when the content runs out instead of just dragging on to fill the time slot.

Then top it off with many converting their time normally spent commuting into extra time working. I see more IM lights green than ever before and for much longer. There is no longer that need to get out early to beat traffic.

Yet without clear objectives work from home can end up with far less getting done and there are people who just cannot work unsupervised which is something that many are loathe to acknowledge. Some of this definitely is insuring you have your space to work in and your family respects it.

Why are startups born this way?

When I was in the Seattle startup scene, I came to the conclusion that the Silicon Valley bubble had become overrun with charlatans, grifters, and amoral people only interested in making a quick buck. Pretty much any rando who grew tired of being a used car salesman could max his Visa card putting together a flashy office and a piece of craptastic demoware as a lure to hook investor money.

I think it's just a natural progression. Sleaseballs follow the money.

When flipping houses became popular, the worst kind of people starting flipping houses to make a quick buck. When day trading became popular, the worst kind of people starting day trading to make a quick buck. When software started becoming big business, the worst kind of people started pretending to be "startups" to make a quick buck.

The users themselves choose to patronize the businesses that optimize for growth. People don’t value security, and don’t know how to evaluate it. They do know how to evaluate the least number of clicks to get the other person’s video stream on their screen with the least number of errors.

The native cross-platform mess
It can be harmful when you're not yet developed enough to evaluate that information (and the motives of the people peddling it) properly. There are plenty of online communities that e.g. normalize and encourage eating disorders or suicide, for example. It's our duty to educate our children well enough that they'll eventually be able to make smart decisions themselves - but that takes time and guidance.

> Children are people, not property, and they ought to be treated as such.

Children certainly aren't property, and they certainly are people. Immature, 'work in progress' people.

Our autistic son is a person, and not property. At the age of 17 years, he also has a reasonable command of language.

The only reason he can talk today is because we spent years using various techniques to strongly encourage him to learn language. Most of these were positive reinforcement: do this thing and you'll get something you want. Some were negative reinforcement: if you do this other thing, then you lose something you want.

This was an enormous and draining work. At the age of six, he was evaluated by a world class group of autism experts in the SF bay area, and we were told, point blank, that he would never speak.

It's true that this is a special case, but it's meant to clearly illustrate the underlying truth: to have positive outcomes, most children require variable amounts of coercion.

More to the point: I agree that it's relatively easy for most people and many children to work around DNS based censorship. I think it can be useful in some cases, but not as many as its proponents believe.

It's still a useful tool.
