Sure. Président is a common name for a group leader, and it's the French equivalent of CEO. So there are many possible French presidents.

"Renault sues French ex-President" would probably refer to Ghosn, not Hollande or Sarkozy.
Let him know that he has a typo right there in the first sentence :)
I don't know Ammon, but I don't think he's chasing "big money".

The best founders I know, when they make mistakes like this, aren't doing it for the money. They're doing it because they are trying to create the world they want to see exist, and that blinds them a bit. In this case, I genuinely believe Triplebyte just wanted to have a bigger impact on the hiring world, and try to fix it for engineers. Did they fuck up badly? Oh yeah. But I don't think it was for "money".

Triplebyte has 33 employees. They don't have VPs getting "fat bonuses". They don't have "golden parachutes". Look at their about page (https://triplebyte.com/about), it's all engineers and designers and CSMs. They're just a group of people doing their best to try to fix something we all hate (technical interviewing/hiring).
You do realize that the feature never actually launched, so no data was “public” (quotes because it’s already public to recruiters who use TB).
it's ok, they are admitting the mess they made and it is ok
Thumbs up! There is something about working from nature, park, tree, grass it help concentration much better.

Why did someone mod you down dead?

It's an exponential function on the W=CV^2

let's say initially:

C = 1

V = 16

W = 1 * 16^2

= 256

When the Voltage is split between the two capacitors, the voltage drops in half from 16 to 8, but because there are two capacitors you count them twice:

W = CV^2 + CV^2

C = 1

V = 8

W = (1 * 8^2) + (1 * 8^2)

= 128

Where did half the energy go? People are saying it's loss in magnetic radiation during the transfer. But on paper it still seems counter intuitive, so it's called a, "paradox," instead of just how an exponential function works. Something in the universe makes the energy levels exponentially higher as voltage increases. More electric pressure (V) = exponentially more energy. Cool!

I agree with your concerns about a monopoly, but just wanted to respond to your point about needing to “warm up”: Triplebyte gives you a free practice interview that doesn’t count (unless you ace it), and also lets you retry in a few months if you fail the actual interview.
I think thebradbrain is talking more about a longer timeframe here. Nobody is born with the goal to become homeless and therefore eliminating the factors that cause homelessness before the people actually end up on the street should be the focus.
Ask HN: How do you buy domain names?
The domain I would like to use for my startup redirects to a page on afternic.com and displays a page with a GoDaddy logo. Plus a form to request a price for the domain.

I wonder if it is a good idea to fill out that form?

When I search for the domain on afternic.com they display a "buy now" price of $40k which seems very high to me. And there is a "make an offer" button with "$25k min." next to it. Also very high.

There certainly are HN users with experience in buying domains. How would you go about it?
> merely a badge

> This reaction seems way overblown.

A badge on a user's now-public profile at a service that's used only when job hunting. Any company that noticed that one of their existing employees had a profile at Triplebyte could guess that the employee was looking for employment elsewhere. This would not be good for their career prospects, and could easily result in the job-hunting employee being chosen for a layoff or skipped for a promotion - most companies would rather keep or promote someone who's not about to leave.
> massively privacy violating service

And that's saying it gently.

Not sure if they're still doing it, but the way they were harvesting e-mails and then using them to spam the harvested contacts, they were no better than any other phishing site.

For people who use the same password on LinkedIn and their e-mail account, it was extremely easy to accidentally "consent" to this, and I've seen many an apology to the spam victims from someone who accidentally gave access. And they would spam everyone multiple times, with no way for the recipients to stop it. (They paid a $13M settlement for this; gladly, I assume).

It still boggles my mind that e-mail providers didn't both block LinkedIn's IPs from accessing contacts and spam-can everything from their mail servers.
The author (who I love!) is a leftist (like me!) and probably some kind of communist (like me). He believes that human lives are more important than property rights. From that perspective, people on the right who do not believe that seem like heartless murderers who care more about profit than the people they depend on for their well being.

So to a leftist, many far right conservatives feel a lot like comic book villains! Of course it goes the other way too, but that makes sense to me.

Feel free to ask me questions about this ideology if you'd like. You may also find this video worthwhile:

THIS is how you write an apology letter.

Kudos to @ammon

I deleted my Triplebyte account over this issue. While I’m still somewhat wary, I would now consider using Triplebyte again after this apology. Thanks for posting it!
For privacy. From your ISP to the website itself fingerprinting you.

Perhaps I want to be Joe Blow from Carton OH on triplebyte. Tor allows this. Otherwise TripleBytes might see my ip is based in Iran and they might block me. I still want an account with my different test results.

Org is not a note taking system. It’s an emacs app that can do a lot and that you can use and tweak as you want. Note taking, todo list, calendar, scientific notebook, literate programming, bibliography, ... It allows to mix static (what you insert) and dynamic (code execution, graph generation, tables, images, spreadsheets).

The author logged how he customized his setup to do whatever he needed and shared it. I found great tips there.

I fail to understand the negativity in the comments for such hacker friendly system and submission.
Governments vs. Big Tech: Resolving Differences in Contact Tracing
It's too hard to scale and protect margins. If Triplebyte proves out a business model you'll get a bunch of Triplebyte for X competitors. For example, someone will start the equivalent of Triplebyte focused on DBAs another for Erlang devs, another for embedded, etc.

We don't really need to worry about those people. Let's just build enough housing for those who want housing. That at least shrinks the problem.

Let's do what reasonably can be done and follow the 80/20 rule and take care of the majority of the problem that is relatively easily resolved, thereby freeing up more resources for the short list of really, really hard cases.

Quite a bit, yes. Maybe enough to supply facebok with junior engineers, but not that's one (and the smallest!) major tech company.

Building Acrons – The Acronym Finder
Actually, I think tea is a perfect comparison. How many consumers are actually making educated choices about the specific tea varietal they buy, and how many are just picking "black, green, white, or oolong."

Knowing the difference between two weed varieties is more like being able to tell the difference between two Assam's, except you have to evaluate that difference while stoned.
Were there any tools you used to help you with this or did you just look at your build directly?
If by "state" you mean the collections of peoples who have administrative authority over how society operates then corporations are part of this.

We use government officials to lobby overseas on corporation's behalf, issue new currency to make sure they stay afloat, entrust them with water, power, roads, waste management and schools. They make our war supplies, run the mercenaries for the wars, manage the state's finances through private banks and run elections. Some even have charters to manage entire cities (such as the Irvine Group).

We use state apparatuses to defend them overseas. They run the media and manage such mundane state functions as traffic citations and parking fees. Corporations are part of the state apparatus.

You could say corporations aren't part of the state apparatus because you've personally decided not to classify them as such ... but that's just playing some theatrical dictionary game, it's not real. If something runs the elections, fights the wars, manage the municipal services and finances, then they are the state, that's what the word means. Corporations are part of the unelected bureaucratic administrative state.

We have state media, we just call it "corporate media" but that's merely a rhetorical slight of hand.
Which implementation do you use and what sort of projects are you implementing?
First of all, this isn’t popular with the EU crowd here, but there’s no method of enforcement for GDPR for American companies without a presence in Europe. Good luck trying to collect a fine from some tiny business in the US

Second, you really think GDPR is going to be applied to some tiny American startup because they said they might do something and then didn’t?

Third, my understanding is that if you don’t target EU customers, GDPR doesn’t apply. It’s not enough that an EU customer happens to wander into your store. You have to have some accommodation targeting the EU (like translated pages, international shipping, different currencies, etc)
Maybe for some people, having other people around means they're somehow more happy/fulfilled/something like that, and that increases their productivity more than the poor setup decreases it.
The End of a 36 Country Journey
I don't think that people realize the magnitude of the number of deaths that are directly due to unnecessary FDA regulation. The only reason that they found community spread in Washington when they did (a whole month after it had been spreading) is because of researchers who went around the regulations and then got shut down. If they had started their testing a week earlier, and if other states were allowed to test earlier, there would have been quicker lock downs across the country and NYC might have not been hit so devastatingly.

I had hoped that people would see what has happened with the coronavirus testing and realize that these issues are systemic and have far reaching consequences beyond the current crisis.
30 days is the maximum time allowed under GDPR. Quite typical to tell people it might take up to 30 days (though it practice I've found it rarely does).
Yep, you nailed it. We also sort by what you haven't read, so you'll scroll past each article, then you'll be able to search for it because you know it exists.
We've experimented with an array of different hieratical and graph structures, but they all grow stale and misleading.
This gets into all sorts of dynamics and who controls them:

-- Layoffs are happening around COVID, now who do you think a manager will feel more OK picking?

-- For luckier companies, bonuses/refreshers/promotions happen at different times, a candidate may want their manager thinking about their work vs. them exploring greener pastures

That's sensitive stuff! Some candidate may like being exposed (it's a threat!), some won't (shows disinterest! distracts!). Crucially, the question is of agency: folks entrusted TripleByte, expected privacy based on TripleByte's marketing and industry norms, and instead of having the decision, got into a world of dark patterns (opt-out, weak notification, difficult avoidance, long time delays, ...).

Edit: People are down-voting this. Consumer tech companies have been going through layoffs, generally one or more rounds of 20%. Many B2B's are on a delay, and are starting to see numbers around their b2c customers plummet: easy for more to happen as ripples continue. What could have been an opt-in feature to help folks maybe get better new positions was instead setup to add easily-avoidable risk.

I might suggest that the issue is that you're attacking this from an angle of giving people minor manipulations on a state of full lockdown - "oh, you know, there will be changes for years, but not full lockdown", "X might re-open but with the 2 metre rule, maybe, not sure", etc.

From our perspective, that's you seizing control of the narrative and handing out minor concessions. The entire country is currently shut down, unless you change a _lot_, it'll still be mostly like that.

Stuff like 'ok, we'll do 2 meter rule in the pub, that's basically the same, right' feels like a complete joke. It's dreamed up by someone who like, doesn't go there anyway, so what do they care? It pretty much defeats the entire point of even going, and beyond that it's obviously not economically viable anyway.

But that's not all - not only are the suggested steps seemingly absurd (e.g. "soon", we can open restaurants, but can't meet family in their homes) - there's not even a real timetable, it's all conditional on Boris' mood! Months in, and we're still talking about "ooh err, maybe well, maybe this, I guess perhaps, but that, but this other thing".

Basically, it feels like not being taken seriously. It gets people's backs up. I apologise if in conversation I've seemed aggressive, but I hope the above explains why.

The virus exists regardless, but how we choose to respond to it is something that I'm not sure democracy is even capable of handling. I guess you could call it a power struggle?

At the moment the only possible method of contesting is to just ignore the rules, but you're not even taking that seriously, you're pretending it away as if people are irresponsible and just want to see death and destruction.

Re the whole old/young split: I think that the pensioner form of esotericn would be on board with my current views. I know that when I'm older I'm going to be more frail; I imagine spending time inside reading, studying, etc (depending on my eyesight), possibly spending time with my partner, perhaps we have pets, etc.

Sure - the theatre, galleries etc are things I'd like to do, but realistically, I wouldn't take the elevated risks of death in order to do them. If no-one does them though, they collapse, and I'm left with shit like Netflix in my old age regardless.
I mean, that is a simplification, and in the real world it really follows some sort of differential equation that just happens to be very fast. And the description on Wikipedia does seem to use an explanation based on this differential equation, e.g. see "When a steady state is reached".

Seriously, have you watched the speech? I'm guessing you haven't, so here is a little more context around what he said. He wasn't just referring to Mexicans, he was talking about immigrants in general crossing over the Mexican border.

DONALD TRUMP: When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.

Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people.

It’s coming from more than Mexico. It’s coming from all over South and Latin America, and it’s coming probably— probably— from the Middle East. But we don’t know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don’t know what’s happening. And it’s got to stop and it’s got to stop fast.

> Tucking 1000 employees into Houston and 1000 into Charlotte and 1000 into Toronto, then saving $200,000,000 per year seems very attractive to me. And if relocating 3000 makes sense, why not 10000?

There are plenty of companies in the tech industry who already have done this - how many times have you heard about someone told by their employer that they will have to relocate to X and take a pay cut, or lose their job?

These are, however, companies whose M.O. is cutting costs to the bare minimum to increase margins. You can probably think of many that fit this model. This nearly always means they are no longer focused on growth or product innovation.

Even growth-focused companies have already moved a most of their operational and support to lower cost-of-labor areas, well before COVID19. But very few tech companies have their creative functions in those areas.

The factors that cause homelessness are not only material, but psychological and social as well.

A mentally ill or socially isolated or outcast person won't be necessarily less so just because they have a roof over their head.

I once met a man who's only social contacts were other homeless people around him. He shared his food with them, although this might have not been reciprocated. This feeling of giving something was important to him, even though it seems one cannot be friends with other homeless people. Other than this, he had absolutely no one who cared about him. He got into psychotic episodes and had a criminal record.

I met another man who once had it all, and then lost it, money, purpose, love, meaning. These people are utterly lost, forgotten, neglected at a spiritual, psychological and physical level. Drugs rob them of their agency. They were forced to see behind the memeplex that is society, with its values and ideals and virtues that only exist when one is privileged enough to live away from the chaos that is reality.

They have personalities or had experiences that are not compatible with a civilized society, their human desires cannot be constrained by teachings of morality or even the abstract threat of state violence. They are extreme risk takers, or have sociopsychological differences/difficulties, different modes of thought, sometimes temporary, sometimes induced due to traumatizing life circumstances or drug use.

A first feature is the ability to define “interesting” types. By interesting I mean “generic” types which do things depending on the types of their arguments. In other words, a way to have functions at the type level. In Haskell you can do this with type families. I don’t know if you can do something similar in rust (have a type in a trait and then implement that trait in certain cases to get your function from input type to the type in the trait implementation for the input type)

A second feature that I think is needed is a way to go between types and values which I don’t think rust or swift can do.

Two fundamental dependent types are the dependent sum and dependent product. The dependent product is the type of a function whose output type depends on its input value. This is a generalisation of the product type: the product type (a,b) is like the dependent product type (x:{1,2}) -> T x where T 1 = a and T 2 = b.

The dependent sum type consists of a tag value of some type and a value whose type depends on the tag. For example a vector of arbitrary length Of floats could be written with a type something like:

Sum(n:Nat)(Vec n Float)

And a value like

(2,[1,2])

Sometimes you see online that every pair can be represented as a dependent sum and this is true but completely misses the point because it implies that you should think of it like a generalised product which you should not do.
I don't actually remember much about config.sys, despite spending much of my formative years editing it in the attempt to claw back as much of that 640k as possible.

But I do remember "copy con filename.txt", which I'm hoping is the answer to the second part of your question.

I actually had to walk a coworker through some Windows and Linux and it was a bit stunning to realize that there are now highly technical people who didn't know how to do things like switch directories, print a list of files in the current directory, etc. My parents never knew they were doing me a favor by buying a computer that ran Windows 3.1 so poorly that I needed to do everything in DOS.
