We (a current senior & new grad) started Explain the Valley because we were frustrated by the dryness of today's recruiting. Human interactions can only be experienced at career fairs or networking events, which are inaccessible, difficult to schedule, limited in capacity, and infrequent. We wanted to bring the color and life to recruiting! aka human sparkle

Megan Ung and I have been working on Explain the Valley for many months and are thrilled to present the live video job board!

With Explain the Valley you don't just read about a job and apply. There's video clips sent in by company employees! We want student candidates excited and informed when applying to a job.

Explain the Valley explained in three simple steps:
Step 1 : Create your student account. (must have .edu)
Step 2 : Watch & discover startups hiring.
Step 3 : Apply to a job! Your application gets to the recruiters and founders themselves.

As a current student, I'm a strong believer in early talent discovering the most innovative people and startups hiring. Startups can differentiate their people and product with video. If you're a company interested in posting a video listing, check out "Get Listed" in the top right of our site and contact me at chloe@explainthevalley.com.

Please let us know your feedback! We're a team of two working hard to make improvements. Your input can have a big impact.
I was very surprised to read your quote attributed to the U.S. Surgeon General, as it doe sound like a rather stupid thing to be saying.

So I Goggle it and sure enough he did say as much.

However, you did not post the full statement which means the context is lost.

With the full quote and the resulting context the statement makes perfect sense:

Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!
> Of course there’s no winner here, only losers
Where does your cutoff apply? At what point are there "too many users"? How would you prevent something like that from being a completely arbitrary platform killer?
I was approached by Luminati on Twitter to turn my browser extensions into exit nodes, they are enticing developers to exploit users.

I feel like shutting up the people who harassed and blackmailed me on social media a few months ago. I think if I were to start doing so though I would be met with quite a bit of objections from people.
I would add that up to March we still had public officials repeating China's claims that covid19 was not easily transmissible.
The ease or difficulty of re-flashing is dependent on the hardware. Some (most?) still need soldering, or at least a steady hand to hold wires in place, but the soldering on some things is far easier than others.

I've managed to flash half a dozen Sonoff light switches, as many power outlet switches, a whole bunch of Wemos D1 Minis, and even my kettle. Its generally straight forward and the first one is always the trickiest.

Initial OTA flashing might be a thing on some devices, but hasn't been on the Sonoff thing I have for a while. Once flashed though, you never need to touch the hardware again.

It's been a fun project or two.
Yes I agree. I totally love the ESP8266. Especially on the Wemos D1 Mini board.

We use it for our open source air quality sensor.

Why would anyone provide that sort of proof on the internet? ReactOS doesn't accept submissions from people who have seen Windows source and Microsoft will revoke source code access.
How is this different from multi-node k3s (aside from minor differences in CLI and, obviously, different development teams)?
I think the author is more saying "don't listen to experts when they are not talking about their field of expertise".
"I sure hope this computer repairmen scans the data of our abandoned computer, realizes what it contains, and turns the data over to Rudy Giuliani or equivalent."

If the store owner was in on it, then he's taking a heckuva gamble on this working out right, with relatively little (known) reward.

The claimed story seems simpler.
On "binary security of webassembly"
A dentist can only sue you for a bad review if the statements are untrue, and harm his reputation. The email doesn't include the name of the bad guy, and even if it did, if the statements are true, then there is no lawsuit to be had. Sure, you could be sued by someone claiming that they're false, but under Anti-SLAPP laws if you prove that it's frivolous you can yourself be awarded $25,000.

Overall it's just very hard in the US to sue someone for telling the truth about how awful you are.
> The response strikes me as being indicative of mental illness. And I don't mean that as an insult - I mean that when confronted with that they're clearly irrational. And something's gotta be going on their heads that makes them cling to this hypothesis.

Exactly. If you aren't careful around chicken it's almost Darwin at work.

I assume this is why chicken is usually overcooked in restaurants.
Because policing content based on political opinion is editorializing.
That's the key. If you are looking at a horizon of 10 years or more, the stock market has always (with some rare exceptions) gone up. That is to say that if you take a random point in time, and look at the stock market 10 years later, you will have a very hard time finding a point where it didn't go up more than inflation.

If you do this exercise with shorter and shorter time frames, more and more points in time will show a negative return.

This was just a long-winded way of saying that I agree with you. Stock markets are good investments, but your horizon has to be long, and that means at least 10 years.
This reads to me as if the concept of "file system hierarchy" refers to multiple roots, which current unixes cannot have.
What are the security implications of this to the wider public? (honest question)

Blind reviews + levels.fyi salaries are the new Glassdoor for tech companies. I'm sure they will eventually face the same issues, but they're currently better (even if that doesn't mean much).

Vyvanse, for me, is basically a 10-hour cup of coffee.

Minus the jittery hands, racing heart, headache, and other issues even moderate coffee consumption causes for me.

But with the loss of appetite, constipation, and difficulty sleeping that coffee does to me too.

Definitely worth it on the balance. Being on medication is life changing, mostly for how capable it has made me in my personal life. I’m not the hot mess I used to be.
AI’s “world in chains” scenario
This is said way too often, but in this case I think it's justified - I really don't understand how this is legal. Doesn't using a non-consenting person's computer and network resources for your own purposes meet the definition of "hacking" in most jurisdictions?

I agree. Hard to believe those odds are credible even 24 hours out from the event at the velocity these objects were traveling.

1 in 23 billion are fantastically long odds - roughly 8 sigma. What would the confidence intervals on direction, speed, and drag measurements have to be to put the possibility of a collision during an expected 70 meter flyby at relative velocity of 50,000 kph that far out?

How exactly predictable even is drag at that altitude on space junk which probably doesn’t have attitude control?

For example, I think LeoLabs 1 sigma confidence interval was +/- 18 meters, but they had calculated them crossing at 25 meters apart.
Hi eightails -

Our posts a few months back were largely exploratory posts - seeing if there was actually demand for the product (or at least enough to pursue the project!).

Since FreePN is such a technical product, we've been iterating a lot on our messaging. We are still in very early stages, but we do have some mechanisms planned to mitigate the effect of bad actors on the network:

- we plan to build in something similar to HTTPS Everywhere to the product, to automatically upgrade connections (and we only route traffic on ports 80 / 443 (optionally 53)).
- we also plan to build in the ability to allow peers to block certain categories of traffic from going over their connection (using blocklists similar to those used by Fortiguard -- so you could block all torrenting sites, as an example).

Early days still, but much to come!
This is a nightmare scenario. Take down a platform by flooding it with ambiguously political spam and then bring lawsuits until a judge rules censorship.

Color me unsurprised that the end game of the nominally pro–free speech crowd is letting the government determine what legal speech should be censored.
This will be helpful for any army that wants to manufacture them.
The root cause here is that we have corporations big enough that their censorship matters.
You do know that the US has not joined the Rome treaty (which establishes the International Criminal court) and one of the arguments being is that it would allow the trial of Americans who have committed crimes on American soil which is unconstitutional. The US has also be threatening that they would invade the Netherlands to free held American personal. Sounds to me not much like a good guy, but more like a bully saying "do as I say not as I do" .
Why can't anyone who join be incorporated as a utilities provider, and shed the responsibility of monitoring the traffic (and the legality of it) to the initiator of said traffic?

I mean, ISPs do this don't they? Telephone networks do this don't they?

> If it isn't illegal or incitement of violence, it doesn't need to be removed.

But it can be removed, because its one of many millions of privately owned websites on the internet... This is the great thing about the internet, anyone can create a website and run it however they want and users are free to visit whichever sites they like the most. This is a win-win for everyone except for those who want to control what site owners do with their own websites.
Shipping .exe and .dll directly in github source repo?
Anecdotal evidence like everybody else here, but after having worked from home 100% for several months, we're finally back in the office 50% and it has been great. You don't notice how much the team spirit and culture is affected until you actually get back to the office.
Fwiw, P=NP could be independent from our current commonly used axioms; it doesn't have to be purely true or false.
Three names have been named. Two of the names are from the same throwaway account (unless something was changed with edits).
Various digestion issues and stomach pain. I'd find myself getting dizzy and lightheaded out of the blue while doing nothing more than sitting. I'd have trouble concentrating when talking to someone and have trouble remembering what I was talking about. I'd wake up in the middle of the night nauseated. I'd have episodes where I felt like I had to focus on my breathing or my body would forget to breathe.

None of these persisted. They'd all come and go. When I went to the doctor, all tests showed I was fine, which stressed me out more.
What does the Permanente quarry have to do with tech exactly? It is a limestone quarry and has been since 1939.
A one-way street is also a drivable flat surface. As is a road with no lane markings.

Can you guess why blindly driving down each of these will be dangerous?
We have something like that. It works pretty well, and when COVID hit it became a game changer.

I liked deploying Sun Rays back in the day too.
As someone who's done LSD numerous times; it is no miracle "change your life and all your opinions on everything" drug like some make it out to be.

It can be extremely introspective and eye opening but pretty much everything on LSD feels this way. Something you've thought of on it that seems so profound and deep can seem silly and naïve once you're sober again.

That being said, it obviously still can have a life changing effect on people. You pretty much just have to be willing to change as well - it depends on the person mostly.

Some people say they've strengthened their relationship with god (both Abrahemic and otherwise) after/while using LSD and others say that have become atheist after doing it.
or 3) they dont want to "promote" it by refuting it. Refuting it, also give prudence to it...
I remember that feature. Out of my, like 20 to 30 tries, it literally worked only once. I told about that feature to my friends too but they said that it wasn't working either.

So it was really not working at an acceptable level, or both me and my friends are terrible hummers.

For some devices, yes.

Tuyas are quite popular:

Someone posted a video on YouTube showing them bullying and humiliating one of my friends. I helped her report it. YouTube ignored it. I worked at Google at the time. I filed an internal ticket and YouTube ignored that, too. Years later, the video is still online.

Companies serve the shareholders. Shareholders want to spend as little money as possible on user support. I think new regulations are a good way to solve this problem for everyone. US consumer protection laws need updating for the Internet age.

Our dog once ate some bad meat and got sick. Since then we’ve used her nose to tell us of questionable meat is bad or not. If she will eat it, it’s okay. So far she hasn’t lead us astray.
Petrie died in the 40s. He hasn't been at the forefront of archaeology for about a century now.

Also, the very first result for me was a UPenn museum article [1] from 1983 demonstrating granite drilling with known tools. Again, hardly breaking new ground here.

“Yes, you’ve denounced them, but have you done so in the last 20 minutes?”

At a certain point you get tired of answering, “have you beaten your wife today?” Even if the answer is always no.
I think it's talking about the interface language, not the actual content. I'm pretty much sure it connects to the same endpoints for the actual hum and data, so there should be no difference.
How does this compare with SoftEther VPN gate? That's decentralized too
Well, there was the 2009 satellite collision over Siberia. The problem with space debris is that it is uncontrollable and that movement isn't dampened as it is within the atmosphere.
Amazon delivery driver day in the life: what it's like
You are right. We must not have individual-editorial, or crowdsorced-editorial social networks, treated as 'neutral platforms' when it comes to political or legal content -- basically anything that directly affects political candidates in the country(s) where HN has its main offices.

It is like having a for-profit business hiding under a non-profit tax umbrella.

If HN cannot figure out now to avoid editoralization of polical opinions (either by crowdsource or moderators), then do not allow political content. If HN wants to allow political content, and wants to allow the edtorialization function -- then do not hide behind 'neutral platform'.

I've never found a good explanation of how it all works - Something that will cover everything from the high level reasons down to explaining what every byte in a typical packet means.

It's just a mess of documents referring to other documents for details.

I'm sure it all makes sense if you just spend a few months making sense of it all, but it's very not much accessible to someone looking do it as a weekend project.
> And yet iPad is still very useful computing device for millions.

Frankly I'm amazed at the efforts some people do to make iPads work as laptops (at least from what I saw on YouTube). Once they add a keyboard it's almost as heavy and bulky than a laptop. Some add a HUB with a mouse and even plug a RaspberryPi in USB C to SSH into ...

I'm not convinced it's worth the efforts.
So... yes or no?

And I'm pretty sure it's "last", not "third" theorem.
This is why these days I roll my own extensions except for a few extremely popular ones developed in the open. Forget small QoL extensions, if I need it I write my own. Malware businesses routinely reach out to any remotely popular extension for acquisitions or “joint ventures”, it’s just too risky to install anything that’s not trust: ultimate, or known to be vetted by tons of people.

Btw, Firefox seems to have made it impossible to run extensions uncrippled from source without uploading to their server for signing. Utter madness.
So where are you finding out the truth about all this stuff? I'd love to have an unbiased news source to rely on.
> it’s more like a paramedic would end up smeared across the mountain themselves than actually assist a casualty in anything but the calmest weather.

Haha yeah. A chopper with fast ropes is much better and still pretty cool.
(Hopefully) it's a bit easier to use than SoftEther!

Also, unlike SoftEther, we don't depend on volunteers for our network - the network is largely made up of the users themselves!
Commenting is not zero sum. Lack of response from one does not create a vacuum for another to fill. Quality and quantity are orthogonal measurements.
For first timers, like me, who are curious about it, I found this video to be a good intro to the module and how to code it.
Hi Ian,

What’s the long term business model then?
Thanks! I’d love to hear how it works for you and any improvements you could suggest.
I love this paper and always recommend it to engineers I work with who might otherwise not read academic papers. It is a well written paper that introduces still relevant concepts like images, processes, the shell and pipes very succinctly, albeit with some amusing artifacts of the 1970s.
The fact is nothing has even come close to replacing it.

Indeed, it seems that just as there are natural monopolies over physically exclusive infrastructure like roads and cables, there are natural monopolies over network effects and attention/mindshare.
Proud Boys aren’t white supremacists though.
- How are you planning on monetising this?

- What happens if someone downloads CP through my home connection?

- How do you plan to block ads with both Chrome and Firefox moving to DNS over HTTPS?
Please, please stop comparing built in platform webviews and alternatives like Sciter to Electron.

You can hate on Electron all you want (I do too) but it's a totally different beast to almost all these other solutions. It's all fun and games until you realize that to get half the junk Electron throws you for free, you'll wind up building it yourself in these solutions.
Agree on lifestyle, but not computing.

Modern 4k monitors are awesome. Need a fast computer to drive them.

My phone shoots 20 megapixels photos. I only post them on social media once in a year or so, but have cloud backups and I need bandwidth for that. I watch movies sometimes, Blu-ray ain’t available at local physical retail, again need internet bandwidth and local storage.
a platform, assumes 'neutrality'. If it is not neutral, it is not a platform.
With chrome you can define which tab or application you would like to record, instead of the entire screen. I think that would do what you require?
That was my first thought too. SoundHound worked 90% of the time for me, very impressive for the day IMO. Too bad it was fairly short-lived - I think they removed that functionality within a year or two. It's nice to have the ability to search like this again.
The Awful Story No One Ever Told You About One of the World’s Favorite Foods
It seems this is well debunked for anyone who cares to check.

I'd recommend following people on both sides. It is ugly but you might come out smarter.
The model behind probably doesn't really check for individual notes and their roots. It "listens" like a human listens (people recognize songs when you hum a piece of song, even though it's not correct root/interval/perfect pitch) so your hum doesn't need to be perfectly music-theory-accurate.

Millennia's took over, is what happened. Welcome to the future.
Twitter is for Rodney Dangerfield one liners. These essays are always a terrible format for communicating such things. Even the 3rd party collection tools miss some context.

Especially when you want to comment on one bit but it gets lost in the noise. Which ironically is the whole point of Twitter.

More generally it mostly missed the ability to edit, to tweak context, and to structure content properly.

Oh well, no better than not getting the story at I guess.

IRL stream of concious is overrated.
