Top Bay-Area AI startups that are actively hiring (Fall 2020)
Besides all that, it's obviously false because if it were true then masks wouldn't work, and yet empirically, emphatically, demonstrably, masks do work. Like, every single person in a hospital setting treating COVID-19 patients would be immediately coming down with it if their protective equipment were worthless. But that's not what we observe at all, hence it's not correct.
>Today that would be an invitation to have your children seized by child protective services.

This is a common refrain, but I've never seen more than one-or-two anecdotal accounts of this happening. Do you have citations or articles that support common CPS intervention in cases like this? In my experience CPS is primarily focused on abuse and malnutrition, and tries everything possible to keep families together.

Parents act like the world outside is scary and dangerous, despite declining crime rates. I think that many younger kids are in dual-income families, and are at after-school care from 3-6 every day. Those that aren't are often in after-school activities, and aren't home, bored with time to burn outside. If the kids are home, they'd rather play Fortnite or Call of Duty with their online friends than build a fort in the riverbed.
You need to address the silent objections the interviewer may have. If you don't, the objection will be brought up after the interview without a chance for you to present your case.

"I don't have the standard number of years, but I have worked in other industries which add value in design decisions."

Yes, working remotely does require proper space separation from other family members. I could not have done it 15 years ago with small children. For those in dense cities with small living spaces and multiple flatmates or family, I can understand the need to go back to the office as a better alternative. But if we were able to setup a proper home working environment (as offices tend to make reasonable effort to be proper work environments), then I bet a lot of people would choose remote first.
Holocaust denier is often used as a straw man of someone that estimate the exact figure to something lower than consensus. In Austria and France etc. the state throw people in jail for that. Like a Tiananmen Square policy in reverse.

That's an overly pedantic definition of bricking. The car's in state where is is unusable without intervention from the manufacturer. There's no technical difference between this an a 'bricked' motherboard, cell phone, or other piece of consumer electronics: the hardware is not destroyed, but it's unusable unless the manufacturer is willing to fix it.

The only difference between this bricked Ferrari and a phone bricked by a bad firmware update is that the Ferrari is worth enough that it's worth while for the manufacturer to fix it.

The other people's reactions were also odd - the first reaction to hearing someone say they'll pay for a hotel instead of buy a house with a guest room is discuss the cost of the hotel? Is that just a Canadian thing I don't know about? It sounds like the friend group also all share the same idea that you are expected to provide for lodging when a friend visits. The only context where that sort of obligation even slightly makes sense to me is if your parents are visiting.
A CoC type clause requiring mesh mask listings to be posted with a “Not a Covid preventative mask” type notice seems like it’d make sense. Idk how the implementation of that requirement would go though.

Nadella worked there during that period.

He joined the company in 1992, when it was as bad as it got and did not see any reason to go work somewhere else. He was totally free to pack up and go but choose to hold on and continued to work there all the way up to today. That makes him at a minimum a silent supporter and at worst complicit. Neither of these speak well for his ethics.
Interesting comment. How do you capture value if I may ask?

this is really intended as an anti-theft mechanism, screwing with the car will lock it up and require a call to support to unlock it. So a push-button override would defeat the purpose.
AFS (at least OpenAFS) is not "truly distributed": it has a single point of failure for read/write volumes. Yes, you can make read-only replicas easily and many large AFS users make good use of that, but it doesn't fundamentally solve the problem or fundamentally do something NFS can't.

Also you can avoid a SPOF in NFS with Isilon's commercial offering (which worked great in my experience, at least back when they were using an implementation based on FreeBSD's kernel NFS server), or potential Red Hat's HA setup.

Also, CephFS is an option too and avoids a SPOF by design. I've only run Ceph block storage but it's absolutely a real distributed system and works well.
It's a convertible so it's probably pretty easy.

An author that licenses the software under GPL, but does not release the source code in that format cannot legally incorporate outsider contributions into his GPL'd work as he would be in a position of infringing the derivative work author's right.

> a licensee who receives ... GPL license cannot compel the copyright owner to do anything.

Unless licensee in question has also contributed to a published revision of original licensor's code. And for that to work (remember the wording "preferred form for modification"), you need a form suitable for modification by a skilled stranger with little prior exposure to said work. You would otherwise get different preferred forms of modification of each contributor, which is unworkable.

Failing an interview is embarrassing and leads to stage fright. I've seen no evidence that stage fright is a significant factor ruling out good candidates. If you are fluent at coding then a coding interview is just like any other interview, if that scares you then a normal interview would hurt you just as much.

If you aren't fluent at coding then why are you applying to a coding job? Would you apply to an English writing job without being fluent in English? If you just have a few years of English from school doing an interview in English would be extremely stressful and likely lead to stage fright. That doesn't mean that making interviews in English is a problem, the problem is that the person isn't fluent in English.

I remember that English fluency was a big barrier when I originally applied for jobs. Just speaking took a lot of mental power and the interviews were very stressful, but now that I'm fluent it no longer takes any effort. I went through the same stages in programming as well. I did a technical interview with a few months of coding experience and it was very stressful, now I don't even have to think.
A lot of people who do side projects do them for themselves rather than simply for improving career prospects. Many folks need a balance between being an independent creator, and being part of a bigger organization and side projects are a great way to get to that.
Damn. I didn't know "anonymized" patient data was being monetized. I've been out of healthcare IT since 2009. For two reasons.

#1

Since I'm a slow learner, it took me a long time figure out that big data will always win in the anon/deanon arms race. I don't really grok "differential privacy", so I just say it quantifies how much one has to fuzz the data to protect any single individual, given the data's bounds. But even then it requires the "honor system" to prevent others from using additional data to deanon fuzzed data.

It really clicked for me during a demo of Seisent (now owned by LexisNexus). Given enough data sources, the errors cancel out, so there's no way to hide or be an imposter. You'd stick out. Their sales team gave some examples of law enforcement using their tool to close cold cases. Not in so many words, because people would freak out, but basically: instead of finding the needle in the haystack, they rule out everyone who couldn't be the perp, and any one remaining is a suspect, and one of them has to be the bad guy. So then they work backwards, just like working around tainted evidence. (I've since had this theory confirmed by a professional bounty hunter. He was very surprised a layperson figured this out.)

I've talked to a lot (20+) healthcare startups, and attended confs and meetups, since. As of two years ago, exactly none of them understood the problem space or patient privacy. And I just don't have the goodwill or energy to refight those battles with another crop of noobs.

#2

Most of us in our startup wanted to "fix" healthcare. Our contribution was going to be portable medical records. Specific initial use cases were to prevent mistakes due to missing patient history. Over time we got really good at showing our clients their own data, which became the prime selling point.

It eventually became clear that only a single payer system would have the juice to force all the competitors to play nicely. Good so far. The Bush Admin intended to allocate $17b federal grants to make it happen. Alas. Their mortgage default dumpster fire, causing the 2008 economic meltdown, and all federal juice went poof. Sadly, the Obama Admin didn't pick up that mantle. (They had other ideas about data sharing, which seemed naive at the time, but I haven't gone back to see who was more right.)

This isn't just a sob story. Ironically, I came to understand that one viable strategy to protecting patient privacy requires a top-down approach. Like a Real ID for medical data and services. Until that, or something better, happens, I just can't muster any interest.
It doesn’t work if you sit down and try to think of something. Inspiration comes spontaneously, you always have to be ready to note any ideas you get. You’ll accumulate ideas over time.

Somewhat relevant, PG has a post on startup ideas http://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html
Here's a more reasonable take:

#1: No one will ever look at your side project. However, it can still be of use to your job hunt if you can talk about it. In fact, it's possible to get away with a empty project provided you can talk about what would have been in there in great detail (as if you'd actually done it).

#2: If you can't talk about your project in great detail, then it has as much worth as if you'd never actually completed the project.
> ... a contrarian number on the death rate that has proven to be very very very wrong.

What was that "very very wrong" number? I found [1] from April in which Bhattacharya estimates that the IFR is probably one tenth of the CFR of 3-4%, which would mean an IFR of 0.3-0.4%. That doesn't seem very contrarian or wrong. The CDC in May estimated 0.26% IFR [2]. The WHO just the other day [3] said that 10% of the world's population may have been infected with the virus. They also estimate ~1,000,000 deaths globally. That would imply an IFR much lower than 0.3%.

I assume anyone making fun of 2x4 and drywall construction has no experience in construction or land development. The complaints all have to do with cheap materials, and/or shoddy construction if walls aren't straight. But done right with good insulation and quality materials, I would take it over any other type.

It's nice and easy to modify and repair also. Unfortunately most of the money people use to buy goes into the price of the land, leaving little extra for a quality build.
Why drivers in China intentionally kill the pedestrians
I've only been hired by impressed CEOs (small startup CEOs), and have to date never gotten a job offer in software through the standard recruitment process (n=5 offers out of ~100 applications moved to interview, not counting applications seen but not considered via services like triplebyte).

Well that's not entirely true, I did finally get an offer last week but it was downgraded from the advertised offer to "let's try out 3 months contract first".
CO₂.

Biogas is mostly better than fossil, but we should generate methane from H₂O + CO₂ + energy. It would be useful and quick way to achieve energy storage and decarbonization.
I read aviation news sources weekly.

Domestic air travel (inside national borders) will have various starts and stops due to corona. The worst-case is if the FAA rules something like jets must be 100% disinfected between flights, which could be $250,000 or more per leg. (That is the case for some drug-resistant TB patient flights.)

But I'd estimate that international airline travel will take a year to start again after a vaccine is globally available, so in the area of 2 more years. I say globally because travellers were found to be skirting travel bans from China to the USA via legs to Africa and Canada.

The international airline industry really doesn't have any corona answers at this time.

A gradual increase in air travel is unavoidable since unpickling airliners will take a considerable amount of time - each jet will take about a calendar week to prepare for inspection, consisting of one man-month of work. If problems are found, then longer.

(Airliners aren't designed to sit for an extended period of time, so there's all kinds of moisture, landing gear/tires and corrosion issues that are possible. Big planes create big problems.)

Besides planes, another issue that will need to be addressed is that pilots need a variety of recurring training and medical certificates, so that would cause a spike in demand that can't be met after a sudden re-opening.

Currently, the FAA has various modified rules and extensions, but those are temporary and the FAA is loathe to allow gaps in airmen standards.

This is actually a lot of Bloom’s point in all of this: this isn’t a good test of WFH, yet many people are already quite pleased.

Did I Just Switch Back to Windows?
My wife and I got into an argument about this when it was time to switch our kids car seat so I pulled up their recommendations and read their sources. Their cited evidence doesn't support their recommendation at all (nor did it when they first made the rec in 2011).

Their 2011 rear facing recommendation is based on a retracted article and their 2016 rec is based on the same article's data except using a smaller dataset which they acknowledge is not statistically significant. The only other data cited looks at rear facing Swedish children compared to _unbelted_ Swedish children.

I went back and reread it to make sure I was remembering right. I'm dumbfounded that this was allowed not only to stand as a rec, but was increased (deepened? made stronger?) when they had even less data than they did before. I get that it feels like it should be safer, but that's not science and I would have expected a group making medical and safety recs to maintain a higher standard.

TLDR of this referenced article: In each and every scenario and study that is examined there is a general consensus that Vitamin D deficiency may be correlated to increased susceptibility or severity of COVID-19. The final conclusion is a word of caution that this news may cause some people to load up on Vitamin D at dangerous levels. However it also states that taking a small daily dose IS actually a good idea during Covid. The dose recommended in the article for pretty much anyone is 1000 IU during Covid.

Something like the "Arc Challenge"?

Furthermore, Microsoft is legally obligated to protect its trademarks, else it looses them, and there is real precedent for that.
I'd have to question picking any single programming problem like the one mentioned is a great proxy for IQ. Could it be that there's a class of problems or conceptual framework (in this case, maybe combinations/permutations or tree traversal), where a person might have solved a dozen problems like this in the past, and this is just another slightly different one?

It's shocking to me how cheap used cars are (equivalently - how few people buy them).

I am doing exactly the same thing as you. Bought a ~$3k old used car that is always there for me. I do use it more often, ever week or two, though.

It is even more shocking to me that people would buy a car on credit (except when it has a business purpose, i.e. you can comfortably cover interest payments with the increase in revenue). You're not supposed to use credit for consumption!
