These seem to work, but I don’t have anything close to the number needed for statistical significance:

- At least 2 years experience.
- Having built projects on your own is always good, but I’ve seen that having built “weird” stuff is better.

There’s a lot of typical projects, in hardware development building a power supply or a 3D printer are quite common. I find that uncommon projects (even if unsuccessful) tend to be a better predictor of what I’m looking for.

- Uncommon educational paths: having changed majors, or pursued other stuff later (e.g. people that do physics in college but after 2 years working they switch to coding and join a masters in ML)

In the end you are trying to find people that are independent, emotionally stable, a little non conformist, but ideally don’t have serious communication problems. That is said easier than done though..
If you only knew some Russian.

There is a drama now happening on Youtube with former presitator of Kazakhstan, where his past subordinates now surface and dump their personal accounts of him.

As could've been imagined, none are positive of his personal ability. But the biggest insecurity of such people is to appear to be useless.

He very much understands that he surrounded himself with sharks, and able lieutenants while being on the borderline of mental development scale himself.

In many dumped secret recordings of him by one former official, he often explodes with "You would've been nobody without me!!!" whenever challenged with even an innuendo of "I could've done it without you."

What holds such people firmly in their chairs of power, is not their ability, but such shark pool of capable executors whose loyalty is conditional

> Couples can generally only afford to move out into their own apartments in their thirties

It's also a cultural thing. Most people can afford to rent in their twenties, but plenty of families discourage it.

Subsidised public housing is available to married couples, and to singles 35 and above — but the wait time for new public housing with a 99-year lease is 3-4 years [1], which probably also affects the birth rate.

Google hired a toxic political activist, then later fired them for being too toxic. In this case, from reading the union goals it looks like they're aiming to make it harder to fire toxic political activists in future.
You think if every computer had bc in /bin, or the equivalent, most people wouldn't still be using Google for math?

It's not the lack of tooling, it's the lack of knowing how to quickly get to the tooling. For most people, especially non-technical, Win+"calc"+enter is not intuitive. Ctrl+T+$formula+enter is. That's the difference.
> The difference is that the password works as a shortcut for situations where the email approach adds lots of friction (working on a "guest" device, latency, the entire world spam countermeasures). Friction is very much acceptable for password recovery (arguably even desirable), but not so much for conventional login.

That's a general response to the question of why passwords might be nicer than email OTP.

But it doesn't answer my question - namely, any security problems that might be attributed to email/SMS OTP also exist almost invariably with almost all in-the-wild password implementations, and therefore, isn't email OTP only more secure than password plus an email OTP called "password reset". This question is purely a rebuttal of the claim that passwords are more secure than email/SMS OTP.

In the wild, there are a few sites where an email account, and therefore password reset, is optional. Hacker News and Reddit are examples. But these are in the extreme minority, and almost never secure anything worth securing. Bank accounts are another class of exceptions, where they secure something so valuable it is worthwhile going through a human verification process before you can do a password reset. But almost everything else - online stores, newspaper comment columns, much social media, web apps used for work, phone apps that let you monitor your robot vacuum cleaner, email accounts - almost all of them expect you to have an email address and use it for a password reset
My (largely unfounded) understanding is that this means they don't don't run the consumer chip configurations though a battery of compatibility tests with with various memory modules on a reference motherboard. My understanding is that they run these steps for each stepping or significant process change for their.

Secondly, it probably also means that they do not include tests for this functionality when they perform the final tests against each fully assembled chip. I'd expect that a jtag boundary scan does verify that the bond wires are in place and work, but no functional tests of ECC are run on each processor in the consumer configuration.

The net result is that with a compatible motherboard and memory, ECC almost certainly works (since the memory controller is the same as in the supported model) but AMD does not officially guarantee it. It is much like overclocking. The functionality is present, and it should work, and most likely does, but AMD accepts no responsibility if it does not, since they don't formally test for it.

Simply, union interest is not the same as company interest. Its maybe good for the employee but not good for the company.

One example of negative things of an union: It makes harder for company to fire people.

Look at teachers union right now, they are fighting by all means to refuse to come back teaching in person. Teaching online benefit the teacher but really sucks for the kids and parents.

> Further, a crime isn't just a crime. A journalist attempting to protect their source is an essential part of their freedom of the press

What Assange is accused of is not that.

> Even if you disagree with my assessment of Assange's actions, it should be clear that justice does care about the context.

It doesn't.

Protecting a source is not a crime, hence a journalist cannot be prosecuted for that.

Nobody is forced to reveal a criminal activity, people have the right to remain silent.

Another thing entirely is if someone actively participated in committing the crime (for example helping a thief to hide their fingerprints)

Also, I don't believe Assange should be extradited, but from a legal point it doesn't matter if he looked for gloves because Manning wanted to hide her fingerprints or a gun, if (and it's a big if) he said "I'll help you" that's a problem.
It's not the union choosing to promote, it's the employer for IBEW.

Also disallows noncompete clauses. So if your current employer says no, you can go to another. Which is how I've seen quite a few promotions. The latter of switching employers is far easier, since life changing benefits (medical/retirement) aren't tied to employers. (Considering SV workers get their "share" by switching employers every few years, that would be a nightmare scenario for big tech as well. Since it further reduces employee stickiness, if SV unions decided to offer benefits).
Having never developed code professionally in Lisp, my question would be; does the REPL work flow replace test code? Because if the REPL is being used as a replacement for tests, then I can see future readers having a harder time groking the code without the benefit of test driver code to analyze.
If my memory serves well, when 40+ GB HDDs started being common, you were either using Windows 2000 and NTFS already, or it was probably a good practice to have several partitions, given the overall unreliability of Windows 9x and the not so infrequent clean reinstallations. And then came Windows XP and the issue was moot.

It's a bit of a shame Microsoft didn't push and open up exFAT earlier and allowed FAT32 to become an issue again, only with removable flash drives and memory cards this time.

Absolutely not. People that want to unionize are the lazy or those whose dreams are sprinkled with unicorn glitter. Or a combination of the two.

There are no benefits to modern unions. They are another level of bureaucracy. If you want better conditions or pay, earn it.
Philosophically, I agree with you. Pragmatically, I cant. Could be the one brilliant or accidental play that the CCP made, they hold the majority of manufacturing. It's not just about money. The covid lockdowns showed how dependent the world is on chinese manufacturing. Essentially the situation that every "xenophobic" warned about. Generally, it should be more of a centralized vs distributed discussion when it comes to manufacturing sourcing instead of a US vs China argument (or lowercase us, because I think other countries are in the same boat). But one is emotionally charged and gets clicks, and the other is a thoughtful form of discourse no one will ever listen to.

Until the rest of the G20 distributes their goods sources to both internal and other external locales, China won't get a meaningful sanction anytime soon. The average "moral" person may say we should all do the right thing no matter the economic outcome... when push comes to shove, they back off that real quick. You can only calmly walk the high ground if someone bled before you to take that hill.
You mean an act of agency resulted in control over wages?
If the employees who could leave organize for the benefit of employees who can’t, isn’t that precisely unionizing? That’s my jab here. I don’t really know/care about how great certain employees have it, I care that several other employees are systematically abused and there’s no check on their power.

> it is going to be significantly harder to start steering the company's product direction and social responsibility efforts than 'just' representing the employees during e.g. benefits and compensation negotiations.

Unions with a very limited focus on their member's compensation negotiations tend to be either short-lived or so weak it is like they don't exist. Just for survival, unions want wider unionization in their own industry and then other industries and then internationally.

Actually FAANG was already organized against employee compensation in the secret pact between Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt etc. which courts found illegal.

Are corporations and their majority controlling shareholders just representing the employers "during e.g. benefits and compensation negotiations". No. In 1938, the American Enterprise Association (now called AEI) was formed by Chrysler, General Mills, Paine Webber to push corporate hegemony. Their website is one screed after another attacking progressive values. If these companies think it important to spend money attacking, as you call them, progressive values, why should unions limit themselves in not defending them? It makes little sense to start things out with one hand tied behind the back. AEI is just one front of corporate America's many fronts.

Well China is obviously a bigger threat than the USSR now because the USSR hasn't existed for about 30 years. And while China may threaten western, or rather US hegemony it isn't an existential threat to the USA or EU in that China is unlikely to try to invade and / or nuke Western Europe or USA in the same way the USSR did at various points. I'm not saying that China isn't a threat to the USA's position of hegemonic super power but that's a very different claim.
Yes they should stick to actual "Trade union union issues" to start with - and remember that large number of Google employees would be ok working on defence and probably voted republican.

Great point.

The funny thing about unions is that the HN community believes that every other organization and industry can be disrupted...EXCEPT unions.

It’s hilarious. The comments are usually all anecdotal with some story about an uncle or father who was “screwed over” by his union back in the 80s or 90s.

We are capable of creating a new type of union and making collective bargaining better than what previous generations had in this current era of the greatest wealth inequality since Rockefeller and Carnegie.

Necessary in some cases. Workers who are happy with the general conditions of their company won't unionize.

Which is a probability that approaches 1 over time. All human endeavors tend toward hierarchies, it's just a matter of how formalized the hierarchy is and how many levels it has - but one always exists.

Yeah, so much of Google's culture is already about slowing down work so that it takes 10 (5 eng ICs + lead, analyst, manager, PM and PgM) to do the work that 2 engineers would do with identical quality in any other company, and the old-timers are the absolute worst in terms of keeping that status quo in place. I can't recall seeing a single team there that was properly sized and wouldn't function better with half the team and an eighth of the process.

There's a good argument to be made that a big chunk of the value of an engineer to Google is strategic, simply that they
are locked up and aren't working at FB, Amazon, Apple or Microsoft. I was never at a high enough level to have a view into the data that would confirm that, but it certainly felt like even if you weren't particularly productive in the environment everyone up the ladder was perfectly happy to let you malinger on the payroll forever, as long as you weren't so bad that you did damage to someone's pristine art project of a codebase. So maybe inability to fire isn't really such an issue - even now, seeing anyone fired at Google, let alone an old timer, is extraordinarily rare.

I'm as pro-union as they come, but let's not pretend that the film and theater unions are an unalloyed good. It's true that the top is not limited for people who make millions of dollars, but the bottom is fairly restrictive, and that has a negative impact on many many actors/performers. For example, once you are an Actors Equity member, you can not do non-Equity work, except with special exemptions. You are also required to join equity once you do a certain number of Equity weeks - this means that I know people who luck into one Equity show early in their career, have to join Equity, and then are locked out of swaths of theatrical work because they're Equity. At the same time, though, they don't have enough of a resume to keep getting Equity work. SAG and AFTRA have similar policies.

I agree they've done a good job at curbing abuses, and again, I'm pro-union overall, but the film/tv/theater unions definitely force some tough decisions for the lower end of the worker spectrum

> Do your 3 sections have time limits?
No, as this would be against the fundamental idea of my approach. Usually, the first section (or "the morning drill", as i call it) lasts till breakfast. After usual morning stuff, if i have time left, i browse social media, tunein to a ted talk, check mails. After Breakfast, second section goes as long as there are tasks left to be done. It may be just a couple of hours, or the whole day. Then there is section three, which is nothing much to plan about.
Before going to bed, I prefer writing a log/diary and setting up tasks for the next day.
