And that's true to a certain extent. Especially if you're building commodity software. Or better stated, you're a commodity programmer.

But if you're a talented engineer, you've been on a few large scale projects, can discuss architecture - scaling, algorithms, have a public portfolio, you're in a different group.

The hiring company - their resources are finite. Time from other engineers to screen engineers. The may have infinite applications, but their time isn't infinite.

And if they're going to filter you out because of comp requirements, they will do so in the beginning.

The really senior devs take a long time to screen - so if you've gotten past the high salary filter and have gotten past the really hard technical screens, you now have the upper hand.

It costs a company a ton of time (and money) to let a senior dev with an offer slip away.

More succinctly - if you're a talented engineer, there are companies that will pay a premium for your services. Yes, even SF prices.

Hold your ground on the salary. Take as many job calls as possible, tell them your number. You're filtering them as much as they're filtering you. It's the only way to test if it's too high. Look at levels.fyi, paysa, glassdoor, try to get a handle on baselines and the outlier deals.

Filter out those companies that are trying to hire on the cheap. And then kill it in the interviews with the companies that remain.

The submission I linked is not flagged (at least as far as I can see from my account?). Either there's some non-intuitive stuff going on with the way submissions stay on the front page, or HN soft-nuked it.

> the term “information content provider” means any person or entity that is responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development of information

By selectively funding the development of information they favor, YouTube or app stores could be considered in part responsible for the creation of that information, in which case that section would not protect them, because they would then be the information content provider, not merely a provider of an interactive computer service.
Just to give you some real numbers as an eng at Uber:

The stock is down roughly 27% of what my pre-IPO offer was.

TC-wise, I’m sitting at ~390k vs ~440k. Roughly 12% less than what I was expecting. It sucks but it’s not the end of the world.

I suspect that American's are the only ones in the world that share this view. To the rest of us your response has been among the worst on the planet. We watch in horror as you intentionally throw lives away.
That is a bigger issue for our society, yes. But it's also understandable that people might be very interested in alleged problems that strike closer to home for them. In this case, if there is an issue worth considering at HN, exploring it could give insight into the larger issue as well.
It's not cynical, it's historical:

"All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and well born, the other the mass of the people. The voice of the people has been said to be the voice of God; and however generally this maxim has been quoted and believed, it is not true in fact. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share in the government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second, and as they cannot receive any advantage by a change, they therefore will ever maintain good government. Can a democratic assembly, who annually revolve in the mass of the people, be supposed steadily to pursue the public good?"

If you’re right, Google will stop removing these comments now that it has gotten publicity (although personally I heard about it ~a week ago) and apologise.

I won’t be holding my breath.

Edit: I’ve just noticed the Google support claim here was posted in late 2019. It’s somewhat hard to believe that this has just flown under Google’s radar.
There are reasonable arguments that CSS is best done with no classes, only semantic elements. There are reasonable arguments that CSS is best done with classes only, independent of element name. And there are valid arguments for various incompatible ways of naming and namespacing CSS class names. We are a long way from one "right" way of doing CSS.
I work in an research setting with access to lots of skilled software engineers and I've come to a very similar conclusion. The problem I often see is that there is very little incentive for the researcher to bring a software engineer onto their project unless it is absolutely necessary. It is just now becoming commonplace to release code when you publish and plenty of researchers still don't.

If you think no one is going to see your code then it makes it much harder to care about its quality. One way we've been fighting this internally is by trying to get researchers less silo'd and more open to code reviews. Once a code review is part of the process then bringing on an "expert coder" to address some of the issues that come up in the reviews has more tangible results! We've seen some success in improving our code quality with this strategy.
That doesn't really answer the question of that other user.

Google largely has largely taken being excluded from China in stride, the other user is wondering why they would do this now.

No one will ever ask you to implement something "like that". It probably was an ordinary blacklist that probably started to "protect children" form porn and such, then it went on to "protect teenagers" from radicalization, and now it will protect adults from anti-communist/chinese comments.

Tons of international students stay in the US. They become "its own people".
America is suffering greatly from this pandemic, but we have avoided far worse scenarios seen in parts of China and Italy thanks to lockdown efforts. That is what I mean by "avert catastrophe". Healthcare systems were never overloaded and curves have largely been bent.
In theory yes, but React and similar JS frameworks have been chomping away at the “cascading” of CSS for a while, in favor of embedding styles inside each JS component. They have become very much intertwined.

I felt this. Pair programming can be taxing in that you don't know if you come across to your partner as knowledgeable, or, as my friend recently put it, "a wind bag." My main weapon against impostor syndrome is to turn everything into a learning experience. The way I deal with it is to explain my thought process as deeply as possible, laying out all my cards on the table. This way, the other person/people can help me tweak my understanding as I speak, so I'll emerge from the experience better equipped to speak about the topic at hand. I feel that impostor syndrome will never go away, and in some ways this is a blessing because with it comes an everlasting desire to keep learning and stay humble.

No, you're not over-reacting. I refuse to give access to my contacts to any app; however, that doesn't stop my friend, mom, or a cousin from giving access and Facebook/Google building a profile on you. The other issue here is Apple and Google have not updated these permissions to only get access to certain contacts you choose, its either all or nothing.
On Android you can sideload apps easily but nobody does it. According to Google, less than 0.5% of Android devices do it.

These courses are usually short introductions into python or Java. Most scientists simply don't have time in their curriculum for a full software engineering course.
Putting this front and center: the constant outpouring of negative news has and is having a negative impact on my worldview and my mental health. Most of this is due to "news", which is not the same as news. Headlines no one needs to hear about but are only printed because 24 hour media needs a constant flow of content.

A big problem I've had in seeking explicitly "positive" news is a lot of it is actually negative "news" just spun in a positive light. Articles like "5 year old cancer patient has successful GoFundMe to pay for chemo". That's not positive (nor is it news), it's just highlighting the societal problem that unexpected medical costs in America can bankrupt entire families unless their case is sympathetic enough to get random people to pay the cost.

The other kind of positive news I see often is things that sound great but aren't actually real. Like "New breakthrough battery technology means batteries last for 1000 years" but there's never a follow-up (I guess it would be negative news then) that this "breakthrough" only exists in the lab and can't actually be turned into real batteries.

After spending a few months going out of my way to read explicitly positive news, I find it worse than ever. Because a lot of explicitly positive news isn't actually news, and a lot of it isn't actually positive either.

Edit - I guess this was just a bummer with no positive, and I apologize for that. What I've ended up doing right now is limiting where I get my news from and dramatically slowing down my news consumption. The reason we commonly think the 70s/80s/90s had such better music than today is because we've already let time filter out the bad music so we only remember the good stuff. I treat news the same, if it's something I need to know I will still hear about it tomorrow or the next day. Seeing "news" happen in real time with BREAKING NEWS slathered across the page makes it seem more important than it actually is. Seeing it as a footnote a few days later often doesn't change the store but changes your perception of that story. And it also filters out the unimportant things that aren't worth talking about because they're not going to be talked about tomorrow or the day after.

The news app TheSkimm has actually been helpful, it's not explicitly positive news but it's important news slowed down and explained properly, while everything else is just a headline or not even mentioned at all. Finding a slower news source would be my recommendation rather than filtering yourself to explicitly positive news.

If that's the case regarding IntelliJ then you probably haven't changed the jvm heap size, which is defaulted to something very small (2GB maybe) by IntelliJ.
The CCP’s claim to legitimacy is based on continued economic growth in the PRC.

Buying made in China products supports this economic growth, and also the cheap, often exploitative, labor that went into producing them.

Besides, you should probably support the local manufacturing industry wherever you’re living.

If Uber dies before making any money, and some other company would've made money but Uber killed it, then the investment in Uber was a bad investment (no return) and in addition prevented what might have been a good investment from working out.

Or in words that matter to me as a consumer - Uber, an unsustainable company, killed an industry that will not immediately recover when Uber dies.
For most cases on the 3600, you need a separate cooler to get longer life from the CPU. I was getting warnings when playing some games with the stock cooler. Good thing they only cost about $30.

> shelter-in-place has been instituted locally because the federal government has been an abysmal failure.

shelter-in-place was always going to be a local policy. The US government is simply not set up for the federal government to enact such a policy. What was expected, however, is for the federal government to take a strong advisory position and state and local governments to more or less follow the federal guidelines. It would also not be out of character to see some strong-arming from the federal government to "encourage" compliance from the states

Ask HN: Self-Censorship on Hacker News
I know this issue has been discussed here already, but nothing seems to change, so I'll try to to raise it once again.
The ability of certain users with high levels of karma to flag topics leads to censorship. Calling it community self-regulation does not change the fact, that in case with controversial topics a single person can make it so, that a submission never reaches the front page or, if a submission is, in fact, interesting for some users and thus upvoted to the front page, disappears (rather shortly) after the conversation has already begun, and the majority of users never get the chance to see it and participate in the discussion, even if it could be interesting to some of them as well.

I totally understand, how this can help to mitigate submission of illicit content and how this relieves moderators from a lot of work by outsourcing moderation to users.

Having said that, my concern is that:

1) There are a lot of users with high enough karma. This makes the probability, that someone will be pissed/upset by a certain topic, unacceptably high.

2) I'd even argue, that it's pretty easy to get a high enough karma just by doing regular submissions. E.g. if you submit a couple of links daily over a sufficiently long period of time, there's a good probability that a couple of submissions turn out to be popular.

Does the fact, that you make regular submissions, entitle you to moderation of discussions started by other people? I don't think so.

Also, there's a "conspiracy" side to this. What prevents an adversary, who is indeed interested in targeted censorship (as opposed to genuinely pissed/upset users), from using this tactic to create a user account with high karma? It's important to say that, as I imagine, such an adversary is able to plan strategically and act in advance, so they would already have created such accounts by this moment. I.e. there may already exist users, that are either completely fake or affiliated with adversaries.
Hmm wonder why they announced it on a Monday instead of a Friday?
I remember seeing an exchange where a moderator seemed to be able to edit another person's comment well after the edit period with no indication an edit was made.

Kind of hope I misunderstood the exchange, but if that's the case that instantly undermines any possible claim to being "ultimate place on the Web to discover and discuss bleeding-edge content"

In general HN is not that place anyways. People here confuse meekness with civility. It's ok to tear someone apart with ad hominem attacks as long as you don't sound too passionate in doing so. "You're being dumb" not ok. "You're being silly", totally ok.

I know I got rate limited and I'm pretty sure it's the over that time I had the audacity to talk back to a moderator

That's an interesting point. You might be able to argue that subsidizing day care - particularly if you could bring higher standards/efficiency along for the ride - could have a greater economic impact than subsidizing college. It would certainly win out in short term effects. [Although I do think most of a bachelor's degree should be attainable from home for little to no cost.]

I’ve just been through this exact thing with a 3200G on Ubuntu 19 and 20. Took months to disgnose. Extremely painful. Ended up replacing the RAM and motherboard before finally determining the problem was with the CPU. Disabling C-states helped but didn’t resolve the issue. Tried a bunch of other things too, none of which ultimately worked.

In the end I switched to a 3700X; so far the problem hasn’t reoccurred. No doubt it will now that I’ve posted about it (fool me twice, shame on me).
"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

"The world's" doesn't mean "The part of the world we like most." "Universally" doesn't mean "Nobody in China gets to use our system until the Chinese government adopts Western notions of information control."

Google would operate in North Korea if it could, because as a point of philosophy, it's believed that access to more informtion, even curtailed by the government, is better than access to only information controlled by the government.

>Isn’t this already taxed since it’s income?

Buybacks confer additional advantages as well. The gains can be deferred, which can be advantageous when saving for retirement because your marginal tax rate when retired will likely be lower (because less income). For foreign investors, buybacks aren't subject to withholding tax. For the executives, buybacks also benefit them because their compensation tend to be tied to shared price.
>Individual voters don't have to be rational as long as their errors cancel out.

This, incidentally, is the function of propaganda. You introduce an influence that biases the system to encourage certain classes or error and discourage others, thus skewing the consensus-forming process.
