> ... and alot more communication needs, testing needs and maintenance.

Yeah, I was sort of including that in overhead, of a non monetary sort, in my own head. There are valid reasons why FAANG companies are so big on teams and team size and managers and reorgs, etc. I imagine one of them is it makes it much easier to switch expectations and focus and projects easily when stuff starts going off the rails (which you can always expect it too with so many people and departments with slightly, or very, divergent goals).

> let the engineers/product people have power to set this back on course.

Careful about wishing for engineers to have too much say. Some of the biggest (business) blunders have been because the engineers went and built something magnificent (or attempted to), but the market and sales people didn't know how to sell it (or it wasn't what the customers wanted).

Sometimes that comes out okay for the rest of us in the end as it spurs innovations and other companies to (eventually) do the same, but it's bad for companies when it happens.

Although you probably know that, and that's why you said engineers/product people. :)
I’d much rather know that now, rather than waiting until after it’s already happened to find out whether or not it’s a privacy violation.

I have a AP 2.5 Model 3. It will never be fully self driving. It still has trouble keeping lanes when the stripes are not simple. It still does phantom brakes
Heh, this certainly isn't meant to happen in theory. If Facebook manages to carry this decision it suggests something really odd is happening in the programmer labour market - the buyer shouldn't have enough power to do this in a competitive market.

Companies just don't pay people high salaries because of 'need'.
Have you tried asking?
I wonder if the ship is nuclear powered and if that has any bearing on whether it can support a laser or not.
> Another good book is Advanced Calculus: A Geometric View by James Callahan.

Thank you for this! For those of us who had real difficulty with Advanced Calculus, Callahan's methodical, visual, generous approach is deeply felt and appreciated. I did not know of this book until now and immediately found myself absorbed. It's embarrassing to admit, but as one who loves mathematics yet seems to struggle and stagnate more often than everyone around me, I often want to ask for, and indeed need, a bit of hand-holding. Callahan is a wonderful guide in that sense. Thanks again.
Can you recommend a sprinting regimen?
I learned to drive a car when I was 13. My older cousin took me to warped tour, got hammered and told me I had to drive home. I didn’t know what a clutch was, let alone a stick shift. After stalling in the parking lot a couple of times, I managed to drive us from Long Beach all the way back to my parents house in Pasadena. Love to see an AI handle that cold start problem.
It's not so much the total number, but the dimensionality.

Eg if you have a blob that can move in x and y coordinates, it doesn't get more complicated just because you move from 32-bit floating point numbers to 64-bit floating point numbers. Even though the number of states squares.

The problem with those cars is that the windshield is raked so much that a lot of the front length is wasted. It's why our cadillac xts feels tiny compared to the chrysler 300 it replaced. And damn I want another 300 lol.
What evidence do you have? How would the world look different, if we weren't in a simulation?
Maybe you should have considered the timing more carefully rather than rushing to keep it in the sprint? Pushing it out last minute just makes you sound desperate rather than shady, which isn’t much of an improvement.

Oh, I get why I was downvoted. You can't criticize capitalism on HN and expect to get upvoted. For instance, take a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23232811 . That comment is at -2.
Yeah, I'm sure a good spindump would be able to find what the code is blocked on. Sadly I run with SIP disabled so I can attach to things, so I probably cannot reproduce the issue…
I don’t think I should need to. If a company is going to unexpectedly publish information about me on short notice, the onus is on them to consider the implications and explain what they’re doing.
Please do not turn it into another Rolodex and competition for connections. It’s bad enough to know that connections could be mined through inference, but I’ll be leaving the second I find out you are turning into a social network.

This should absolutely be opt-in, not opt-out.

Were people that originally interviewed aware before their interview that their profile would become public at a later date?

The objection seems to be that this is automatic, with opt out, instead of with opt in. Another commenter makes the point that the opt out button is difficult to find. Those are the issues you should address.
Okay, so, you're concerned about a potential privacy violation, but won't take steps to find out if there is one to begin with? I don't have a lot of sympathy for that position. Go and fill your TripleByte profile with misinformation if it suits you, I suppose.

Edit: I missed that there's a privacy setting to make the profiles non-searchable. So, I guess you care enough to complain on the internet, but not enough to even ask if there's a privacy violation? Seems like there's a name for that.
That's pretty bad and another reason I can't stand artificial scarcity. I think information itself should be free. There are other ways to make money off of it. It's trivial to transfer TBs of data. Any laws and rules you come up with are completely arbitrary. Companies transfer mass amounts of user data continually. But when people share data companies "own" its all of the sudden illegal. Libraries could not be "invented" in today's society unless they only contained user data and only could be visited by corporate interests.
A Microsoft employee mentions this in the issue comments on GitHub.
How do you justify opt-out versus opt-in for publicizing this info? Do you not see the potential harm in "ammon is looking for a job" showing up to someone you work with?
When are you going to be available outside the US? If you were going to offer the service how much would it cost to have you do the interview/skills assessment as a service if you’re not going for other markets any time soon?
I would love to know if any of these are actually good, instead of just their own scams. I just want to see all recurring payments grouped by something intelligent (like the vendor and/or the amount).
This is horrible, what a breach of trust. I used TB to stealthily interview for jobs, had a good experience. Recommended them to others. Now I see that if I hadn't seen this post, I wouldn't have known about this and those details would have been public, which had the potential to seriously undermine me at my current position. I'll opt out tomorrow, but according to others it sounds like the visibility link was somewhat hidden. At least with this they're well on the way to becoming the next LinkedIn, at least by their practices. What a dark pattern.
LIDAR vs camera is a red herring. The fact that Elon and his fan club fixate on this shows you how little they understand about self driving. The fundamental problem is that there is no technology that can provide the level of reasoning that is necessary for self driving.

Andrej Karpathy's most recent presentation showed how his team trained a custom detector for stop signs with an "Except right turn" text underneath them [0]. How are they going to scale that to a system that understands any text sign in any human language? The answer is that they're not even trying, which tells you that Tesla is not building a self-driving system.

"In my experience thrift is the overriding factor."

It sure is. It's like the idiotic startup I worked at for 6 months that gave everyone i7 laptops with 32gb ram and 5400rpm 500gb hard drives to save $100/laptop. True fucking story. The dude who ordered them told me it himself.

I think companies will do some stupid shit to save some cash sometimes.

Besides, all this talk about productivity and stuff? It might be true, it might not. It's a lot easier to just add air conditioning to an old warehouse than it is to build out a divided up office. Right? They're not going to spend all that money to see if they're more productive.
I feel ya. I just switched to Vivaldi due to the "megabar". (More precisely, due to Moz removing the option to disable the megabar.)
Might as well comment, first employee at Siri here. This result “maybe” should provide ambiguity resolution, but where does it stop. The she/he who compared it to Google was right on. Siri provides singular results in most cases vs multiple search style results. We did use geo for locality based results in the past. This would solve the problem the OP mentioned, not sure if they call location for these requests now. The other person who mentioned we can’t/couldn’t train on data is correct too. Again, privacy first. Be proud, Apple cares a lot. When the Siri commercials hit (No one told us there would be commercials) when we launched, we got decimated, and couldn’t debug the issues, user utterances were not allowed to be logged. Luckily, after much sleep deprivation, one of my engineers (love you Stu) said, “hey, aren’t they running commercials” to all our surprise. We convinced the privacy team to let us log word parts. Then we started to see words that were present in the commercials. Fun fact, also happened when Tom Cruise was presenting at the Academy Awards. We had millions+ asks all at the same time, again word parts. “height”, “tom”, “foot”, etc.
Unfortunately, like "Justice" or "Freedom", poverty is an ambiguous term.

Two people can be using the term in a conversation and be talking about radically different things.

For example, are you talking about the inability for people to find food, shelter and clothing?

Or about level of lifestyle once those needs are met?
If I opt-out and make my profile non-public, what kind of information in the profile will still be public?

Because, in the "Visibility" link in the profile builder says: Your public profile will be invisible and will not appear in public search engines. This simplified version of your Triplebyte profile showcases your technical achievements based on actual skills, not pedigree (it does not contain your score details, job status, or preferences). Turn your visibility “ON” in order to share your unique Triplebyte profile URL on job applications, LinkedIn, GitHub, and other platforms.

However, "Learn More" says the URL will be inaccessible when not Public. So, which is it?
I use wire in place of string. It is easier to hook wire onto a screw in the wall than string. Also... I always use two screws instead of one. That way the frame remains level.

The competitiveness of the job market sets the price. Looking at the Bay Area vs really everywhere else in the us you’ll find less liquidity in tech which depresses the price.

Conversely, you’re paying for access to the labor market with your rent, so good markets have high rent.

The company is paying for your costs, plus providing you a margin. If your cost are lower, your margin is the same but the absolute number is smaller.
No. The user doesn't desire journalism to be dependent on ad revenue.

It isn't the user's responsibility to provide a better solution. Not having a solution doesn't make the problem disappear.
I'm not sure about the former, but SwiftKey is great. Owned by microsoft though so might still be slurping your data.
There was nothing "unannounced" about it. Notarization was introduced at WWDC 2018 and announced as required at WWDC 2019. Every macOS developer should have been aware of this requirement. It was a special project for my apps.

>"Phased-array optics is the technology of controlling the phase and amplitude of light waves transmitting, reflecting, or captured (received) by a two-dimensional surface using adjustable surface elements.

An optical phased array (OPA) is the optical analog of a radio wave phased array.[1]

By dynamically controlling the optical properties of a surface on a microscopic scale, it is possible to steer the direction of light beams (in an OPA transmitter[2]), or the view direction of sensors (in an OPA receiver[3]), without any moving parts."

My curiousity is this: Could an Optical Phased Array be used one day to do the equivalent of Electron Beam Lithography (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_lithography) -- but with light -- or could the optical phase array be modified to output electrons, and then could it be used for lithography?

?

Maybe today's answer is no... but I think the answer might be "yes", eventually, given enough iterations of research and experimentation...
It's back on Android 11 I believe.
What happens if the beam his a person (for example on a boat)? I hope it's not a very painful death.
I'm a bit confused - how is prepping and/or studying for the SAT "gaming the system"? I realize SATs are not a prefect reflection of learning, and I also recognize we can make the tests better and better -- but -- what better system is there to gauge learning across millions of people in a consistent manner? I'm honestly interested in some measure that is better, and isnt subject to corruption and whims of the few and stacked in favour of the 1%.

>> opaque rules has an advantage in that it's more difficult to game the system

You are right that with opaque rules, you cannot study your way into college anymore -- because it will depend on who you know, which charitable boards your parents are part of, which civic organizations you support, how good your sports videos are choreographed, how good an essay writer you hire for your college application, how genuine your weekend "service trip to country x" photos look, etc. When you get rid of tests and replace them with opaque measures that is the sort of gaming you end up with -- and that seems like a far worse type of gaming.

I'm comfortably middle class, studying way into a good college from below poverty. Prep books on weekends for 2yrs. I realize it is hard, it isn't fair -- but I dont want to replace that system where my children have to buy their way into college -- which is where we'll end up. I'm not wealthy enough to donate a building. I'm not connected enough to land on a charitable board with a college administrator. My kids have to study their way in.

Now...i'm hearing there is no way to study their way in. Rather, we need to figure out how to please each individual school's decision makers. Is that really what is more fair? Is that what the 99% want?
Was it the 2005-2010 Chrysler 300? Because that car actually shared a bunch with the Mercedes-Benz E-Classes. They apparently for example copied the W211 suspension for the 300.
Cancelling for XboxLive has always been a pain (at least until 5 years ago, I don't know now): they make it easy to subscribe online and pay with a credit card, but cancelling forces you to look for a phone number buried in help pages and call a hotline that's only open during business hours or something. Pure dark pattern.
It’s my understanding Snowden’s own preference is for a trial, and that it should have guarantees in place to ensure it is a fair one, because he reasonably expects to win.
And this should have been opt in, not "opt out within a week or else we'll dump your info and association with us onto the internet."
Apologies. I did not directly reference a comment or user; just suggested that I have seen activity that appears to be trollbot-like, so did not believe that kind of generalization to be a violation. Further, it was relevant to the thread discussing a high rate of COVID-related trollbot activity elsewhere. It's a little difficult to believe that HN is immune from this activity, but I certainly take you at your word that you don't believe it's an issue.

I tend towards engaging people with whom I disagree, as I don't find it very interesting to stand around nodding heads. That to say that I have had plenty of vigorous debates on HN, yet there have been less than a handful of times that I suspected trollbots or shillage. It's not something I just hurl at folks when I disagree.

The most recent case was a person who engaged me on a COVID thread. First, he hid his motives. Then, he proceeded to parrot lockstep talking points from a certain point of view. He generally represented an ethos that I hadn't encountered on HN (intimating violence, etc.) Overall, it was an odd experience, but there's no more evidence than those observations and the feeling of something amiss in a style I have seen elsewhere. Hence, I did not accuse or report him.

In any event, I appreciate the pointer to the astroturfing search results and am frankly blown away by your patience. Appreciate the job you do. Obviously, I don't always agree with your conclusions, but there's no denying your good faith and efforts to be fair in maintaining quality. Even as I disagree, I am aware that I am a beneficiary of those efforts.

EDITS: near-immediate and mainly for clarity.
Reminds me of something a colleague once told me (not sure if he was qouting someone): "your product needs to be the best, but that doesn't means it needs to be good."

That is to say your success is relative to your competition (and sometimes all solutions are "not good")

This advice seems to me like the parallel for enterprise products.
Dropping packets when there is an otherwise working connection could potentially make the delay even worse depending on timeout or retry strategy used by Apple code. I assume that in the fast case without network connection it checks the network status flag and doesn't try to do any network connection at all.
The margins for used cars aren’t high enough to support that kind of discount (https://jalopnik.com/how-to-negotiate-for-a-used-car-5570813 and https://www.autonews.com/article/20180428/RETAIL04/180439997...).

Think of it this way: there isn’t nearly enough demand right now, regardless of whether you (the dealer) discount your inventory or not. I.e., you will not move enough cars to pay for fixed costs like the mortgage on your building, financing the inventory on your lot, etc. The Fed has done various studies on household savings account balances and/or net worth (https://www.valuepenguin.com/banking/average-checking-accoun... and https://abcnews.go.com/US/10-americans-struggle-cover-400-em...). The vast majority of Americans would have to finance a car purchase, even for something like a 10-year old used car. Yes interest rates are low right now, but does it make sense for a consumer to buy a depreciating asset and increase their monthly interest costs at this point in time?

To the car dealer (or rental operation like Hertz), the question is does it make sense to have a fire sale on your inventory now (at prices that will almost certainly lead to an accounting loss), or do you take your chances in bankruptcy court? If you believe that in the next year or two that the market for used cars recovers somewhat, you can sell those assets off during bankruptcy proceedings to pay off creditors etc. There’s a strong case that taking this approach will leave the company as a whole better off in 3-5 years, though equity holders will certainly be taking a huge hit.
Yeah, I'm curious if a Camry is mid-sized what a full size is. Taurus? Those things are absolutely massive. My Ford Focus feels big, honestly, but maybe that's because I live in a relatively urban area with pretty tight street parking?
I interviewed with them last year, and just got this email. There may have been some of the usual boilerplate about “publish, disseminate, or publicly perform your content in order to provide our services” somewhere (actually, I recall a surprising lack of legalese) but there was absolutely not any attention drawn to the possibility that my profile would be shown to anyone other than the companies looking at the round of candidates I was included in.
I guess there are, sadly I don't have an example at hand, I haven't been working much on extensions lately, sadly, the official docs doesn't state these kind of incompatible APIs.
Thanks for this, there is no way I would have ever found this without your post. It definitely seems like this link is intentionally hidden.
The copyright system is a little independent of capitalism - without it, the copyright holders wouldn't have any capital. It creates itself.

It isn't an unreasonable critique but there are schools of capitalism that do not like the copyright system. That isn't an inherent part of capitalism. Peak capitalism tends to ignore copyright (eg, Silicon Valley in the early glory years, or the market for movies once BitTorrent was developed).

They are sides to the coin, as they say. Salaries are X in San Francisco and NYC because its competitive and cost of living is high. So are taxes. But then ,if Facebook hired 12000 people in SF it means that they are worth the (say) $250K each a year and then some. If they work from Vietnam or Small Town, Georgia FB still gets the same benefits but the employees would have like a triple or quintuple salary.

I don't have an answer to this, but I'm almost certain that people in a foreign country office don't get paid the same as those that work in SF or NYC. But then, FB, Google and the likes are already super-profitable so it's hard to argue in their favor.
Thanks for coming to answer questions here even though you’re likely to get dragged through the mud for this decision.

FWIW, I agree with other commenters that this is a betrayal of trust but I don’t have anything original to add.
So keep a Linux box if you want. Don't shit on people for using a mac.

I can use macOS, Windows 10, and any distribution Linux I want without having to pick one. That's freedom. I have choices. I choose all of the above in my personal setup. I'll fight to keep my free software but, at the same time, you can pry logic on the mac from my cold dead hands. I've been using it for 15 years and I am not going to stop now. Use the best/preferred tool for the job you have to do.
