From my experience tutoring (especially young children but also teenagers) I have discovered what seems to be a human universal: the brain is always looking for shortcuts. I have witnessed kids attempt to develop strategies for cold-reading me, the tutor, instead of learning how to solve the problem directly. They’ll make these educated guesses and then try to see how I react. I’ve had to develop a poker face just to get them to give up on that nonsense and turn their attention to the problem at hand.

I suspect that many tutors, parents, and even teachers never realize that kids are doing this. Then they’re shocked when a kid who seemed to be doing so well bombs the exam.

I feel the calculator is part of this phenomenon. In addition to immediately providing the answers so kids don’t have to figure it out themselves, it also creates the expectation that there are shortcuts in math and that teachers are just giving them busywork because that’s what adults do to kids.

That’s the heart of the problem, to me. There are no shortcuts to understanding.

I have never managed to get iCloud Photos work on Windows. That means I can't even actually download all the photos I have taken. It's one horrible app.
Why don’t we democratise nepotism instead (or as well)?

Personal recommendations are used because they work and outsource trust. Yes, they can be abused but this hurts the recommenders social status which reduces their incentive to recommend.
Supply and demand makes sense as an explanation in a lot of these cases, but it doesn't actually explain this one.

If facebook were just charging a market rate determined by supply and demand, then your salary would drop when you become remote, regardless of where you actually live, as your location has nearly no bearing on your productivity or competition for the same job.

The fact that Facebook wants workers to report their location, as they cannot easily see the difference, shows their motivation cannot be driven by supply and demand.

OP is probably correct, maybe even high in their 10 to 20 W/m^2 estimated average output for car mounted PV systems.

Rooftop mounted, optimally oriented PV systems at Seattle latitude have an annual capacity factor of ~ 14%. That means a 1 kW system will average 140 W output over a year. That system has a module area of about 4-7 m^2, equivalent to the area available on a sedan.

On a car that has suboptimal module orientation and solar exposure, "power density" (RE: Smil) is really low.
Apple OSes never were about CLI, pre-OS X you didn't have a CLI as standard OS feature.

Selling UNIX underpinning was just a marketing move for willing to betray GNU/Linux and BSD in name of a better laptop experience, instead of helping OEMs selling their stuff.

Something that NeXT also did against the Sun workstations market.

On Linux side of the this kind of security measures never work, because the moment someone introduces something like this, the distribution gets forked.

It works on ChromeOS and Android, because it hardly matters to userspace that Linux is the actual kernel, Google could embark (and it is actually) in a kernel replacement project and most stuff would just work.
> Your profile is about to become public

That's pretty horrible.

But I have to ask ... since my understanding is that hiring companies make you redo the technical interviews again, what is the point of doing the Triplebyte interview process at all?

Also related, there was a startup that was scraping your Linkedin status and sending that to employers who subscribed, effectively doing the same thing Triplebyte is planning to do. There was quite an uproar over that, too.

Speaking of Linkedin, your employer can view your profile if it's public, so again, similar problem to what Triplebyte is doing.
Cold Wallet Company Ballet Introduces Product to Commemorate Bitcoin Pizza Day
I don't know the US law. I'm just wondering... if US companies have to ensure their software is fine according to GDPR for Europe clients, I'm wondering how it is with other law.

The other law I'm thinking about is the general rule that for every change in a contract all parties must agree. It is normal that I get a letter from my bank "We are changing the rules, here you have 30 days to say you don't agree. If you won't, we'll assume you agreed. If you won't agree, your account will be closed.". So, I can say I don't agree. Here, they just assumed I agree.

Any change, like the one Triplebyte made, is not legal here without my consent. Yet, they made it.

I'm wondering what else they would change. I don't want to wake one Sunday morning to notice that they I'm charged a couple of millions because they changed the rules during the previous night.

I'm not going to show then any of my IDs. Just no. Knowing all information from my ID here has a similar power to knowing SSN in US. Instead, I just devastated my profile. There is no real information anymore. I'm wondering about adding some longer description that I'm protesting against their change of rules. I'm wondering how they would react to this. Maybe it is the way to delete my account, who knows.
> “you don’t need that [because I don’t need it]”

You got that response because your post sounded like the LX2K only has the M.2 slot and no other PCIe at all, when it in fact has a regular ×8 PCIe slot.

> the 8x slot clearly is required for a graphics card.

The HoneyComb LX2K is not a desktop or mITX replacement. It's a network/routing platform, as shown by the onboard 100GE QSFP28 port. The ×8 slot is clearly required for more networking :P

> I have several other peripherals (an SDR and an FPGA card) that would be homeless.

... where are you putting those on an x86 Mini-ITX board with one PCIe slot?

If you are in California, CCPA might be of some help.

Article 4(b) actually states that to verify you you (for a data delete request), they must do their best to use info they already have on you, and "Avoid collecting the types of personal information identified in Civil Code section 1798.81.5, subdivision (d)"

and in 1798.81.5,(d)(1)(A)(ii) we see: "Driver’s license number"

4(c) also helps: "A business shall generally avoid requesting additional information from the consumer for purposes of verification."

So if they can verify you another way, they must, and cannot ask for the DL (likely the only ID many people have)!, if i read that correctly

So instead of jumping through their hoops, file a CCPA request and have them chew on that.
What was wrong with it? And why did you need to interact with it at all, I'm curious.
How is this even legal? FB signed contract to pay X amount of dollars and now it can lower that amount unilaterally and without any kind of warning?

Mind boggling to me, but then again I live in Europe... So, how does it work in US?

> You just make it so that anything behind a paywall requires adding the license key which is generated by Gumroad upon purchase and later verified via their licenses API.

This is what I did. I also had to create a licensing backend to handle cases such as only being able to use your license key on a single account, and for verifying that your license key was still valid (in case you cancelled or got a refund).
Wow, looks like triplebyte profile settings page is full of dark patterns. Like, setting yourself as not interested in offers will forcefully revert back after a time period, and that even though there’s a checkbox for opting in to being shown to companies you can’t save the profile without giving consent.

:(
For now. What about the future? I just don't trust any company which changes the agreements without asking for my consent. In this case I just want to close my account and delete all my data. Seems like impossible. In Europe after making things like this they could end in jail for breaking GPDR rules. In US it looks like it's fine to gather user's data, sell them without consent, and then forbid to close accounts. And there are always people who repeat "the company is fine, they have right to do it". Except they don't.
I think this is a bit of an overreaction.

In practice the first day or two doesn't matter that much, you're getting your laptop - meeting some people, signing into some accounts.

I don't think this is really that big of a deal in the scheme of things.
In its early days Firefox had this. And there's no reason any of it would need to be dumbed down or locked down.
Perhaps think of it like the way people perform agriculture now, and even on the garden scale.

Sure, you could go with a standard soil composition and add water on a schedule, then harvest when it feels best.

Or, you think of it as a system with inputs and outputs. If you can observe the system and manipulate the variables (soil composition analysis, moisture measurements, temperature control and sunlight optimization, etc) accordingly, then your yield can improve dramatically.

Any nursery sells a multitude of tools to measure and manipulate those variables, and farms are a whole other beast of systems design.

It's much the same with cooking meat. Control the variables, improve the result.
I don't care how many years you have on the job, not knowing the CEO's face/name of a company you're just joining is weird.
Yes, free support is only three years.

Java has several commercial and free implementations, so every Java vendor is free to choose their own timelines, I was only talking about the free layer of OpenJDK/Oracle, as that is what many around here understand as Java.
All it would take would be one other FAANG employer to not reduce pay based on location for them to start losing talent.
A more charitable view is that they signify an API that evolved from callback-based APIs like Twisted over many years and made nicer APIs like curio or trio only possible (whose features/insights slowly feed back into asyncio but backward compat keeps the warts around).
> You're making lots of mistakes, despite having decades of typing experience at relatively high speeds.

It’s amazing how small a keyboard difference can throw you way off.

I had an Apple Magic Keyboard and could type on it high speed with high accuracy. I wanted a numeric keypad and bigger arrow keys so got an Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad.

The latter is pretty much the former with extra space on the right for the keypad. The letters and punctuation keys are the same in size, location, and feel. If you are just banging out text or code, there should be virtually no difference between the two.

In reality, I could barely type on the keypad version. It took a couple days to get decent on it. Even after a couple weeks I was having trouble with punctuation, making coding slow.
The PS3 had dual-boot support for Linux early on, for a couple years after launch. It was removed in a software update a week or two after I decided to try it. I don't see Sony doubling back on that one, but you never know.

"fascinating" might not be the best word for a behavior like this. "smart" might also sound like an hyperbole to many. if you really want to earn more money, this kind of petty tricks are not difficult to figure out. overall, some people might take it like you being interested in applying this kind of tactics yourself.
How about a computer? It has if else statements too.
In my experience the first few days of onboarding is the only time when it's easy to meet new faces in a company. You will always remember the couple of people that onboarded together with you. Looks like going through a bunch of nonsense together successfully bounds people.

That's the only real benefit of those onboarding few days. I usually roll my eyes through most of the high level presentations that are full of Koolaid, politically correctness or even straight up made up as you typically discover after a couple weeks/months.
As an aside, when i top up my prepaid mobile i have the option to donate the top-up to another number. Yet dating sites i've seen don't allow subscribing someone else for a limited time (by opting-in on their side of course). Is there some reason as to why this is not an option on most dating sites? Seems courteous, but it might lead to scams or begging perhaps?
I hadn’t considered this angle and absolutely love it. I hope this becomes true.
All over this thread you are responding about the details not being public.

The existence of the job search itself is the issue. I'm not sure what's not getting through about that.
The second step is asking for your name, not the room name, so that you can be identified by others in the room. But noted, there might be room to make that clearer!
Tax is certainly one part of the cost of living. The cost of living is just that, the cost of living, not simply the consumer price index or whatnot.
Maybe that's fine?

It’s not fine. Allergies are disabilities under the ADA. If you don’t provide a safe workplace for people with severe or potentially fatal allergies then you’re in violation and open to a lawsuit.
Intel's competitive strategy has, historically, always been to retain such an overwhelming technical advantage in terms of transistor count that the other things didn't matter--they could make a huge profit while still providing better value than the competition. The only time that didn't work until now was when they tried to completely switch architectures (with Itanium) and they were able to quickly recover their advantage by returning to an x86-based architecture. Now, of course, this strategy has finally failed them, and all sorts of people are accusing them of having been complacent due to the lack of competition, but really I don't think they were doing anything differently from before (at least with regards to what you're talking about).
To address your problem, check the size of the flames on your gas lines first. Those do rust, and it may just help to give it a few knocks and clean the ports with a wire brush.

Some of your valves may be stuck, resulting in low output. Check all areas for rust, and clean it out if it's evident.

Gas grills are too often engineered for low cost builds. They rust easily, and require regular maintenance.

Good luck!
> When developing inside docker, you are fooled into thinking that various things about your environment are constants.

No, you really aren't. You're just using a self-contained environment. That's it. If somehow you fool yourself into assuming your ad-hoc changes you made to your dev environment will be present in your prod environment although you did zero to ensure they exist then the problem lies with you and your broken deployment process, not the tools you chose to adopt.

A bad workman blames his tools. Always.
There's an asymmetry whenever you sign up for something. It's always them who determine the terms. I think there should be more consumer protection.
Ok, but there's a reason we aren't hearing from non-SV employers threatened by the expanded SV hiring pool.

The hiring company has to follow a standardized flow for any candidates they get through Triplebyte. Triplebyte does their own evaluation and reports the results, and then each hiring company is only allowed to do a short non-technical[1] phone screen plus a single day of onsite interviews before either rejecting the candidate or extending an offer.

[1] and they enforce this—they specifically ask the candidate to report any technical questions asked during the phone call.
I dunno, most of it didn't sound that bad. I guess anything becomes stressful under time pressure.

I think it works the same in Europe right? If you work for a company in Zurich and then move with them to London your wages will decrease, right? The difference being you will have to sign a new contract because its a different country. In the case of the US, they might not have to sign a different contract (unless they are on a visa). There is nothing stopping them from checking with FB what their new pay would be and then move.

> The concept of "working" for three days before my direct supervisor even noticed my presence is so foreign to me

I left my old company for the same reasons. I didn't know who my boss was or who I should report to for months.

Everyone was clueless. You asked for help or directions by pinging some guy you didn't know on Slack and the best you'd get was "yeeeeeah I worked on this project long ago, I forgot, sorry, nice to meet you though wanna go grab a coffee sometime?"

Clients left hanging because somewhere in the sales process someone forgot about them in the pipeline. When some work actually got through nobody did anything for weeks until someone would promote himself to project manager out of good will (which you could do by putting your name in the project charter bullshit and on the Trello board of course) and assigned some teams (uiux, dev, qa ecc) to it. When you needed e.g. design files for something your best guess was to look in the Gdrive folder, find who has shared access, and ask them who worked on the design if by any chance they know something about it.

The result of this was the worst time to market I've seen. Like 2-3 year delays were the norm. I have no idea how companies like this manage to survive. They weren't doing that bad economically either (they won lots of government funding mostly)
OTOH I stopped using Audible and forgot to cancel it.

Then I realized it and thought to myself — nevermind, I have the credits, I'll eventually use them up.

Nope. There is a credit cap and after you reach it they'll happily charge you without providing any service.
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) does require employers to make “reasonable accommodations” for employees with a qualifying disability if doing so won’t impose an “undue hardship” on the operation of the employer’s business.

Sounds like there’s a lot of room there for reasonable policy.
I don't know man...I mean $1,201 is lot of presidents just waiting to be put to work! That's like downpayment on a practically new set of wheels and enough herb to last until facebook says the unemployment website is fixed.

I really wish companies would start asking for anonymous, unbiased reviews of this process. I've had a few companies come close, but they made it clear the answers were (or seemed to be) heavily filtered.

Their onboarding processes all sucked.

Please stop with the cute HR nonsense. I'm not a kid. I don't need your cute program. We don't need someone reading 10 pages from your legally unenforceable handbook from a projector. Keep your gift bag; the squeeze ball is stupid and you didn't pick the pen. (Have you ever given a gift?) If you're going to lean into the sterile corporate decor, then at least hand me a clipboard and let me fill out paperwork just like I'm at the doctor's office.

If it sounds salty; it's supposed to. I hope a C-level, or business owner, takes it to heart. I'm not trying to beat you down. This first-impression is important--I took 10 minutes on a Saturday at 2:50AM to let you know. I've seen your "all-hands", your quarterlies, your launches, and your totally-not-Christmas parties.

You already know how to do better.
Do you consider TimescaleDB as replacement for Thanos? Would be nice to read some operational and performance comparisons for real world cases.
It's probably worthwhile to put solar on cars, but it doesn't really do much to improve range.

A way to think of it is to imagine a gas-powered car with a gas tank that magically refilled at a rate of one gallon per week. That would be a great feature, but it wouldn't really change what you do with the car. It would mostly just mean spending less on gas over the lifetime of the car.

In the end, a car costs a lot of money and provides a couple square meters of usable space. Roofs of houses are a lot bigger and can supply the needs of a household, but if you're in the business of energy production and want to generate energy on the scale of a major power plant, it makes far more sense to use cheap land in sunny places away from cities.
It's at-will employment: they can fire you for mostly whatever. The upside is it's easier to be hired, because hiring is less risky for employers.
