History demonstrates otherwise. Apple has had facilities in Ireland since 1979. Most of the Apple IIs that were sold in Europe were built in Cork.
Many consultant/contractor firms esp for programmers provider insurance. Its usually not as good as a top tier company benefit package of course. The biggest issue for me is you're unlikely to get a 401k or tax-benefited investment vehicle, which means if you're making programmer money you can't even do a ROTH or a traditional IRA due to income restrictions. So make sure its a really good jump in pay due to that at minimum.
I’m not sure how we got to the Cancel Culture in America, but it’s pretty far from Chomsky.

How do you verify that the fab didn't insert any backdoors and made your part strictly to-spec? Fabrication-time attacks are an interesting vein of content to research. There are some good papers and talks out there if you do some quick searching.
The idea that your legacy is primarily defined by one's offspring seems to just buy into current social stereotypes and doesn't really signify what the service is about as you described it. Other than that I think there might be some confusion with the "other" legacy (https://www.legacy.com also a YC company?) whose service is aimed at those on the other end of the life spectrum.
The preinstalled postmarketOS software build which ships with this edition of the PinePhone is an Alpha software build. This effectively mean that while core functionality of the PinePhone – such as telephone calls, SMS messages, LTE, GPS, GPU acceleration, etc. – is operational, it is also an ongoing effort, and thus the device cannot be considered as a consumer-ready product.

Thanks for the info. I guess that means I could have done it at home! Oh well.

I wrote up my story in the sibling comment since someone asked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23851310
You assume dissent is because "everyone disagrees with me", but, from what I've seen, cancel culture-style fisagreements are about a side being way more vocal than the other, not necessarily correlated with thr number of people who agree.
That's... part of the plot of the novel "New York 2140". Was that intentional?
FAANG or other companies? FAANG interviews tend to be timed enough that even if you're intelligent enough to come up with a solution you won't have enough time if you haven't studied. On average you'll get roughly 17 minutes to solve, explain and code a leetcode medium with optimal efficiency and no bugs. Either that or 35 minutes to do a leetcode easy followed by a hard. Again with optimal efficiency and no bugs.
Amazingly a survey of initial quality measures initial quality.
Could you imagine working with a senior software engineer that couldn't write FizzBuzz? Anyway, I feel your approach may end up selecting for prestige and be more venerable to implicit bias. A recent engineering graduate from Cornell will probably have a much nicer looking resume than someone from some random state university even if they both have strong technical skills.
There's a qualitative difference between wanting to live in a bunker, and having the front door key to my house be on the Internet for anyone with a blank and a bastard file to copy in half an hour.

Not that penthouse problems will ever be my problems, granted. But let's not be too absurd here.
There have been cases where people have committed crimes (often on the books as "desecration of a human corpse") while trying to cover up accidents or suicides. Not saying it's the case here, but there's no point in jumping to conclusions.
Having been through 8 rounds of IVF I think about fertility issues a lot and lately I've been wondering, have there been any studies about covid and it's relation to sperm count?

I'm curious because testes have ACE receptor sites, so it's fathomable that it could cause wide-spread sterilization, or at least lower sperm counts.
There is currently a snackbar in the login for errors. Just signed out and typed in a wrong password to make sure I didn't break anything. However, I am on version 0.0.19. If you downloaded the app from F-Droid, you're on the first public build. I'm still trying to get another update out from the initial release.

I've added a new ticket linking back to this comment and I'll look into the issue. I have several people using Syphon with their own homeservers successfully so I'm thinking the problem has to do with a silent error that's unrelated. Thanks for the feedback though and feel free to respond in the github issue itself.
Maybe you should wait until after work, rather than hiding behind a throwaway:

Offtopic, but schools are closed for the summer. How many US states need air conditioning in schools? Honest question as an outsider who's never lived in an apartment with AC.

I really enjoyed reading this, thanks!

> In this case it's just error code 5: "STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION", which is a memory access error, which typically means it's a bug where the program accidentally is trying to read outside of its memory space.

What would be a (more) user-friendly error message for this though, given the quite technical nature of the error?
> During the same time period the Javits Center, the USS Mercy, and at least four leased hotels sat practically empty.

The USNS Mercy was sent to Los Angeles, you probably mean to refer to USNS Comfort which was in New York. But both Mercy and Comfort were offered by the Feds for non-COVID-19 patients only.
Still waiting for my UBports CE pinephone to arrive, which they sent a shipping update for weeks after I tried canceling my order which they completely ignored without any acknowledgement.

Right now I am incredibly disappointed with pine64 in terms of their customer relations.
I didn't expect Musk's defenders to offer up a defense whose cornerstone is that his judgment is so poor and his knowledge so weak that it is foolish to trust even short-term predictions about his own products.
TL;DR:

"Based on our study, we propose that type I IFN deficiency is a hallmark of severe COVID-19 and infer that severe COVID-19 patients might be potentially relieved from the IFN deficiency by IFN administration and from exacerbated inflammation by adapted anti-inflammatory therapies targeting IL-6 or TNF-α, a hypothesis worth cautious testing."
and they had the perfect alibi not to change this despite 45% being the standard rate...two systems. Instead of getting 15% of a lot, they'll get 45% of close to nothing (relatively speaking.) Not to mention the whole ecosy$tem that was built around this.
i worked at a company where i had done over 150 interviews and the company did at least 10 interviews a day at the office i was at. we did metrics on what times of day or days of the week or rooms.

before lunch or 4pm or later interviews we’re worse across all candidates

certain rooms we knew were smelly, loud, or poorly converted from like a storage closet scored worse across all candidates

we took some rooms out of the rotation and made sure everyone was well fed/had drinks. the effect is real
Fair enough, but I think you need to provide a counterpoint explaining why.
Your article seems to show that Nuclear is the least deadly of all energies? Am I misreading?
Nowadays that's "favoritism" in an interview and it wouldn't fly. Everyone must pass through the same meatgrinder (that, surprise, fails people other than white men more often).
I did, they wanted more.

15 minutes gets you a general outline of what they do, a superficial notion of culture etc. I had that, but they wanted more in-depth knowledge of their products and culture.
Have you ever actually tried a take home exercise? Or is this just based on your perceived concerns?

In the years I have been doing take-home exercises for candidates, I have yet to see a single instance of a great take home leading to a terrible on-site or hire in terms of technical skill. There have definitely been great take-homes for candidates that we later chose not to hire, but usually due to challenges interacting with the product team, or in some cases too much fixation on technical perfection with no focus on business realities, etc. If there are a large number of candidates paying others to do their take homes for them, they should be asking for refunds.

Second, even if this is a problem, there's a very simple solution. For candidates that do well on the take home, either on a call or on the on-site, do a live code review with the candidate and ask them to explain a bit more about why they wrote the code the way that they did. Ask them questions about other approaches, or what they'd do if they have more time. Candidates will be significantly more comfortable talking about their own code they wrote. It'll be quite clear if the candidate didn't write it themselves.
I've not met a (large) company that didn't take active measures against IP theft in China. Its not highlighted anywhere for the same reason security back home isn't highlighted: you don't want to share any info and you don't want to make a hard relationship any harder (by offending Chinese leadership).
It's honestly surprising it's legal to play with that while driving, but you can't use your phone.

Should you have freedom to walk naked? Nudists were advocating this kind of freedom for a long time. I personally have sympathy for this point of view.

Passing COVID-19 or flu onto another person, especially elderly, may kill that person. Walking naked with mask if you keep your body clean as far as I can see will not kill anybody. So, why should we enforce clothes if we do not enforce masks?
Maybe the old ones, but I do not see myself using a newer ones more than 100-150k kilometers.

Companies have no incentive to bring you on full time, either. They can lie and tell you that you will at the end of the term, but it'll either be met with "we do not need this position anymore" or continual contract extensions because the market is suddenly unfavorable, there's no headcount, or some other excuse.
They can recognize some of it as pure profit.
Got a call on this a few hours ago. Found the above article & the rollback set us right for now.
But have I "deleted" any data? All I've done is "pause" the history in my Google Account, right?

Is there someplace else I can explicitly delete that data?
There's a significant difference between diffuse radioactivity and the sort of waste nuclear plants put out, though. In both impact on humans, and mitigation.
> Many black communities are disproportionately victimized by violent crime, and increasing the police presence there protects them from that crime and hence saves many of their lives.

Sure, and that was the common understanding 20-30 years ago. (see: Dem and black community support for various crime bills, "Superpredator", etc.). But our understanding of the situation has evolved (based on evidence, I should add!).

> I might listen to you mention the drug charges and say, “fine, let’s legalize weed”. I might listen to you talk about how black people distrust their local police departments and vice versa and I might counter by advocating for community-oriented policing. You might convince me that none of that works and the basic concept was wrong-headed. But nowhere in this process do we actually disagree about the basic value you mentioned.

But now you're arguing for a bunch of policies supported by various sects of Black Lives Matters supporters, all of which could be summed up in various ways as "reduce police interactions with black people".

My point is that there are people who don't accept that. Who insist that nothing should change. The argument goes something like this:

(1) Because black people commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime
(2) police will naturally interact more with black people so
(3) black people will also be arrested more for nonviolent crimes, and therefore
(4) nothing needs to change.

This breaks down somewhere between one and two, for a variety of reasons. The amount of violent crime isn't proportional to the amount of overpolicing, a lot of the forms of overpolicing don't actually reduce violent crime, etc. These are the people who I think it's reasonable to have suspicion of. People who agree that some form of action is necessary, cool! But people who think the status quo is fine and dandy, that's the group where I can't quite square things (and I'll note that the person who I linked earlier was in that group).
But it isn't really financially optimal to do that. The marginal cost of an extra MWh is trivial. The staff and capital costs are going to be mostly the same regardless of output. So it makes sense to run it as much as possible. In that sense it is very similar to solar and wind. In comparison a gas plant is spending a lot of money on fuel and will shut down to save money as prices drop.

Also, the grid needs much faster reaction than modulating demand over hours. If a large generator fails (which sometimes happens to nuclear plants) you need 1GW in a few seconds.
My bet is on some kind of client/marketing platform that all these accounts gave write permission to.

Edit: I stand corrected, many other comments mention that the offending tweets appear to be posted from the web app, so this suggests an issue within Twitter itself.
That might be, but Germany and Switzerland assessed the safety to be suboptimal.

"In 2007, the same year a Swiss study found that seismic risks in the Alsace region had been underestimated during construction, the ASN denounced a “lack of rigour” in EDF’s operation of the plant."

It would be. I also can't find any. One of the challenges here is that in many cases Teslas (the pre-eminent EV of course) aren't even considered "cars" that qualify to be in a safety survey, because (just as an anecdotal example) "they don't crash enough": https://insideevs.com/news/370539/tesla-safest-list-didnt-cr... or in other cases, they simply aren't a qualifying car (not enough market share.) So while actual studies seem to be impossible to come by, commercial studies that sell magazines are completely unreliable due to mostly just not including EVs.

So eventually we will get the data; after all, in some places Teslas were the #1 selling car in the second quarter of 2020. It's hard to ignore the #1 selling car. For now, engineering principles and crash test results are all we have to go on.
>I panic and put too much effort into trying to figure out what they want to see

My approach for take home challenges is this. Often I complete them and never even get any feedback from the firm beyond a form rejection letter. If that is going to be the case anyway I might as well make something I'm proud to have in my portfolio, even if it doesn't line up with exactly what they are asking for. That transforms the work from something that I'm doing for them to something I'm doing for me. I know that's hard when you are unemployed and have bills to pay, but if at the end of the day you have some work that at least meets with your expectations you can retain that bit of your pride.
Tweet is down now, but still in Google's cache.
Parent poster is pointing out that _in addition_ to your degree you must pass a professional exam as well. This is common in professional fields where there is a licensed title (e.g. M.D. or P.E.).

Btw there is a Software Engineering PE exam but I don't know anyone who has taken it: https://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/SWE-Apr-2013.pd...

If you take and pass it you can add the title PE to your name in the US.
You know nobody in this thread has any fucking idea what you're talking about, right? There is no video of the referenced incident that's been posted here or in the linked article. I give you a 10.00 for your mental gymnastics routine.
"Take home" questions are heavily biased in favor of the employer because they're not required to put anything on the line.

An asynchronous test is definitely more flexible for all parties, but it also means the employer can more forward with far more interviews than they would be able to do in person. Leading to more candidates wasting their time doing nonsense work when they have proportionally less of a chance of getting the job.

Possibly I'm just bitter because of the time I spent 4 hours on a take-home only for the company to ghost me (name-and-shame: Instacart). But at least for in-person interviews they have to buy you lunch before the ghosting can occur.
Seems like there's a sovereignty issue here. If you negotiate a deal with the highest authority in Ireland, and they sign off on it, are you done? Why do you have to care what other deals they have made with other parties?

Or is nothing Ireland does binding, until someone else with real power has counter-signed it?
Hassling someone once a minute while they try to write algorithmic code is not a great way to assess anything useful either.
Looking at those updates the pinecube looks pretty sweet! I was thinking about trying to create a security camera using pi zeros, but he cube looks way more cost effective and has pretty much everything I could want!
If you /didn't/ have to pass through the same meatgrinder that every other employee did there's a reasonable argument that it could be seen as an opportunity for favoritism. But that sort of ignores that if an interviewer wants an interview to go well (because they feel more empathy for one interviewee over another for instance...) it tends to go better. We like to pretend that "a question is a question" but we're just testing the person's state of mind. I've had interview questions I've answered >10 times and drawn complete blanks because I'm trapped in a tiny room with a person with an inflated title and ego, and their shadow who is intently staring at every movement I make.
Things will never be worthy of more concern than lives. This is an absolutely warped viewpoint you have and trying to justify it after the fact by inventing workers who allegedly care a car spit off an assembly line was destroyed is delusional.

I would think that this is partially by design to get employees to second guess ever wanting to leave and explore other options.
Of course, you could have diverse acquaintances and friends, but most people are more inclined to be friends with people who share the same race and gender because they often share the same experiences. This puts a black female at a great disadvantage if her friends are mostly other black females because so few of them work in tech.

The entire concept of asking someone to write code in Google Docs is just insane to me. No one would ever do that on a job, because it's remarkably awful and difficult, and the editor will fight against you every step of the way (auto-capitalization, just to name one thing).

And yet somehow interviewers think that this will give them a good picture of how you'd do work on the job. Baffling.
> It would be nice if he could at least outline what it is that he believes he's not allowed to say.

He avoids doing that because as both he and you know perfectly well the Orthodoxy would crush him for his heresy.
Microsoft switched to no longer providing updated ISOs for Office 2019 and actively pushes Office 365. Plus their package management and update tools for enterprises are riddled with their own issues that makes managing hotfixes and updates a major PIA.

Ohh come on nuclear power is not for sure that low carbon if you consider the whole life cycle:
https://theecologist.org/2015/feb/05/false-solution-nuclear-...
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2051332

New power plants which statisfies western standards like UK Hinkley are a cost nightmare. Further it essentially funds new nuclear weapons:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/oct/12/electricity-...

Sure there is some slim chance that old western or new Chernobyl style reactors would offer dead cheap ecological energy eventually (moving all complementary processes like getting the ore or building holes to dump the radioactive waste to electric).
Also this offers the chance to create a huge wild life refugee in even more central Europe eventually (sure why should we care about people losing their homeland): https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/oct/12/electricity-...
A random sample – sure, if you have enough traffic to still get decent sample size, but a sample obtained by users opting in is often close to worthless because it's not random and so not representative of your userbase.
I like to know this:

> c++ allows 0-width spaces in variable names. Where's your god now?

I imagine many languages do the same, but I lack the will to test it.

Anyway, of course, it would be more correct if it was considered whitespace... And I bet anything parsed in Haskell or Perl6 does such.
Right, thanks. How about the leased hotels? The field hospital in Brooklyn? The Javits Center? Why were patients sent to NURSING HOMES before any of these?

The same question can be asked about the Comfort of course, but I guess we can shift responsibility to the Feds for that fuck-up.
> installed capacity for solar plus wind

Installed capacity for solar and wind is a parameter that seems pretty meaningless. For example (according to Wikipedia) the Agua Caliente solar project in Arizona (an ideal location), has an effective output of less than 30% of its installed capacity. A PV plant more comparable with France's conditions, the Lauingen Energy Park in Bavaria, has an output of 12% of its installed capacity.
