Same COVID obsession that leads to people wearing masks during their wedding ceremony, etc.
Same here. I'm not surprised in the slightest; this is common practice on Amazon already, and Yelp/BBB have allowed businesses to pay to remove negative reviews for years. I'm not sure if that's the case on Google reviews yet.

And it depends on the platform’s motives if this feature were implemented. I could see the Apple iMessage approach simply “Sorting”, while FB Messenger would likely use a heavy-handed algorithm (depending on the size of the group).

If this concept were given room to evolve, I think both could coexist.

Sorry but if you're doing shady shit, it's no defence that everyone else is doing it too.
Yeah, China attacking Taiwan unprompted would have shades of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Throwing around hegemonic weight. I just wonder if the common people will have different opinions of it from the government's. The distance between the two countries is far less than the distance between the U.S. and the Middle East.
React & next.js are worth evaluating. It's a super powerful full stack with everything from server side rendered data (REST APIs even) all the way to complete client-side SPAs, all using the same react components. It's a slick little swiss-army knife that can make anything from a basic blog with markdown content, to a static marketing page, to a full client-first PWA experience. There is sadly almost nothing else really like it right now.

MDX is another neat step, it's markdown + react components and fits in very well with next.js: https://github.com/hashicorp/next-mdx-remote

Vue, and Svelte to just get an idea of what other components systems are like. They're all equally capable and just have different tradeoffs and styles. Keep an eye on Svelte in particular as its next.js-like system (SvelteKit) is working on a major revamp to be serverless-first and is quite interesting. Once you learn one component system it's easy to switch between them all--they're all cribbing and building on top of each other's ideas. The whole space is innovating in a great way.

Web components are good to learn and compare to component frameworks above. It's still a changing space but points to a nice future where we can all just publish and share components.

Why would you work at a criminal syndicate where you could just work in big tech with these levels of skill? These syndicates would have to pay $1 million /yr minimum to justify the risk.
The power density wouldn't be near that bad. From geostationary, the footprint would be several square miles, and birds could fly through the beam without harm. Even getting that much focus from phased-array transmitters would require a reference signal from the ground, so if the beam went astray it would spread out much more.

Despite the low power density the ground station would still be cheap, since it'd mostly be wire antenna.

I didn't say China doesn't invade places. I said they don't invade places in the name of bringing democracy. In Tibet's case, it was about "restoring" China's borders (as it is with almost all Chinese incursions today).

Power Words for a Developer Resume
I used to believe there should be a Palestine and an Israel. But, they both want something that they are totally unwilling to share with the other. Furthermore, one has technologically and culturally dominated the other.

Thus, it's time to give up. Israel has won.
I'm working from the model “companies don't care”. You're working from the model “companies are groups of people”. Yours is more accurate, unless the people in the company are using my model.

Decision theory says that the best outcome comes from me adopting the “companies are groups of people” model. I'll try to remember that, and do so.
These posts are getting tiresome. There's way too much focus on FAANGs and SV in general.

Most of us work in hum-drum industries for companies no one's heard of, in towns no one's heard of, and have reasonable hours, good enough pay, and have never logged onto leetcode for anything other than to briefly see what all the fuss is about.

I will guarantee that at least half the developers I work with have never logged onto leetcode and many have not even heard of it. They're too busy working, raising kids, and coaching little league to be wringing their hands about the latest nonsense in SV.
China has significantly reduced its nuclear ambitions over time. Back in 2009 it planned to have 86 GW of installed nuclear capacity by 2020. It actually reached 47.5 GW in 2020. See this recent post and its children for citations:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26216394

China is the world's leader in building new nuclear reactors. And in building new solar farms. And in building new wind farms. China is the world's biggest energy producer, so it is going to lead on a lot of absolute energy measures.

China can build reactors cheaper than the West, but it can also build solar farms cheaper than the West. China is adding output from renewables faster than from nuclear projects.
Long-range transformers in NLP: existing approaches, assumptions and trade-offs
We don’t know that issues were or weren’t discussed with her. She just might not have put 2+2 together. I also don’t agree that you can sometimes get away with being an asshole if you’re a high performer… there certainly are environments where that’s the case but equally there plenty of others where it doesn’t cut it. I remember telling another team who I (previously) worked for, to which he replied “that guy? He’s impossible to work with.” Not too much later he was let go despite all his accolades and status.

I’ve seen enough assholes and inadvertent jerks have zero ability to reflect on their lack of EQ to ever be able to understand why things didn’t work out for them. They always blame it on others. I don’t know if that’s the case here or not, but I’d never take a random blog post as complete truth of a situation that involves multiple people and subjective judgement rendered.

It reminds me of a recent posting to HN about an Apple employee who seemed to go thru hell. Her rant was so extreme and unprofessional in its rant-y-ness it made me heavily question her own judgment and behavior. She made have been in a toxic environment, to which she may or may not have equally contributed without realizing it.

Have you been living in a cave for the past 10 years?
China has had a strict population control policy for decades. Minorities, including Uyghurs, have in fact been allowed to have more children than the majority Han people, and I believe that for a long time Uyghurs 'got away' with having even more children than allowed in law.

Do you think that the Chinese government would boast about committing genocide?

If they did tweet what you say they did it is because that's part of their national policy and they don't see anything negative about encouraging people to have less children.

Point being this is propaganda against propaganda and neither you nor I know for a fact what is going on in Xinjiang.

I also find it odd that people accept for fact what they read on the website quoted here, which I'm sure no-one knows and, if you search a bit, may not be so reliable. I mean it could be true, but at face value it could equally not be true for all I know.

Now, to show how civil discussion on HN is, and to show that this is cancel culture in full swing, people are now going through my comments history to downvote them all.
The usual HN sentiment seems to be that take-home assignments are degrading, whiteboarding interviews are broken, which can be summarized as "I take a lot of pride in my craft, how dare you ask me undergrad trivia"; whereas the Blind sentiment is that all you need to do to get a 300K+ salary is to grind Leetcode and system design prep, which can be summarized as "I'll do anything to get money and that's the only thing that matters". I guess there's also cscareerquestions, which is more "I've applied to 500 jobs and heard back from none, help!".

The problem with charging for standards is the fact that people must implement them. Since we're all supposed to follow standards, they should be public documents like IETF RFCs. Charging money for these things effectively erects a massive barrier to entry.

Israel is threatened with destruction right now, for example by Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria.

In 2006, Hezbollah fired rockets and missiles at Israeli population centers. Hamas in Gaza has fired rockets at Israeli civilians literally every year since 2001:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_rocket_attacks_on_...

Top Iranian officials are constantly going on-record about their intention to destroy Israel:

https://apnews.com/article/a033042303545d9ef783a95222d51b83

Iran is a nation with over x7 the population of Israel, which is also trying to develop nuclear weapons.

It's very easy to dismiss existential concerns when you live in Europe that has been one of the most peaceful regions on Earth for the past 30 years. Try doing that as an Israeli civilian in a bomb shelter, hearing Hezbollah/Hamas rockets explode in your city. That's the reality for millions of Israeli civilians today.
It is not as easy as passing a test. Rounds of interviews, hiring hiring committee approvals to follow.

Plenty of easier process exist but they are not jobs you can apply for. A baseball special assistant hired by an owner can be hired after drinks.

In terms of regular jobs a sales staff working on commission could be easier.
Navneet, as someone looking to buy a solution such as yours, the website isn't answering my #1 question:

> Does coefficient.io work with MY system?

What databases can you connect to?
> Typically we can review a 60 minute take-home in 10 minutes

So a candidate a invests 60 minutes of their time and a multi million dollar company invests 10 minutes.

We should all boycott these asymmetrical "take home" tests.
Those companies never pay out anyway.
There are people more knowledgeable then me who have made these points better than I could, I'd recommend Vaclav Smil as a great source on this. The problem is that his material makes for grim reading, and I think many people researching this subject are drawn to techno optimism even when the numbers don't add up because the subject as a whole is so grim.
> What's the point of having a better looking scar if you're more likely to get colon cancer?

I don't think it's worth going into the extremes with this. Omnivore doesn't mean a buttload of red meat.
Agree I hope Vite has a way to easily turn it off. Never understood the appeal. Way more fun to "see" what you’re going for in your mind and write more at once and see what happens, then react compulsively to a tight feedback loop. I think these features sometimes don’t make us better developers. I’m sure it has some good uses, personally never needed it.
I'm curious here: I am under the impression, possibly due to outdated info, that the issue with red meat was specifically that cooking it at high temperatures creates carcinogens (this being why bacon is especially bad). Would it be possible to avoid carcinogens by slow cooking all red meat at lower temperatures?
Let me suggest a classic. It traditionally worked like this: You buy as much as you can (preferably all) of what is produced for a while. The factory flourishes on this new found demand. Then you reintroduce the product to the market cheaper than the freshly produced crop. The factory scales down as you've removed your demand and you've taken a significant amount of additional demand out of their game. You can just repeat the buy and sell cycles and make waves in the market until it gets unbearable for existing players however in a more perfect settings you create an artificial market where you are both the buyer and the seller. That way you can sell to yourself for 0.9 the one day and for 0.8 the next needing only one widget to make as many trades as you want. If others are willing to sell for 0.8 you buy theirs too and "sell" it for 0.7 the next day.

Of course the situation with bitcoin vs state players is unique. If you can arrest people holding bitcoin you can obtain a significant amount of widgets for free and win the game without having to invest much.

Additionally, by constantly buying on the cheap you can lure the doubting rebels out of the woods.
I'm not denying it's true, but I have little patience for this argument because we can't actually do anything about it. Injustice today? Yes, we should absolutely stop that where ever we find it, but what am I supposed to do today about the fact that women could not vote in 1920? Words are cheap, actions matter. I'd much rather focus on current discrimination than dig up injustices from the past.
Or, another question, why don't we, as a society, help boys perform as well as girls.
> would that ever be an acceptable answer nowadays?

Changes in public sensibility regarding sex and gender are not a good basis to reject GP' claim.

Of course, "girls develop earlier then boys" itself may have other, underlying, causes.
You've been posting similar comments all over this thread and it's a bit tiring.

You don't have to like or support what China are doing to acknowledge that the terrorism was real. These are real groups and real documented events that you would be calling terrorism if they'd happened in any other country. Be careful when you start making friends with your enemy's enemy.
There is at least the "women are wonderful" effect covering both why female as well as male teachers may favor girls over boys, including subjective grading methods. That seems enough of a point to counter this being "unsupported nonsense".

Additionally, pointing out most professors are men does not counter the argument. Merely the transition of going from a highly cooperation- and rule-following-favored environment to an extremely competitive environment should give some indication as to how multifaceted this problem can truly be.
At least Google didn't build their rating system specifically to blackmail businesses into paying for tools that can get negative ratings removed. Unlike Trustpilot.
I'd rather HN not allow such comments and we try to make debate here better than on the rest of the internet.
What do we mean by mature though? It's a kind of bias to prefer one over the other, when it's simply different.

I'm a runner, and I love it. Two things from my POV.

1) Gyms are no competition for my money because I have no interest in going.

2) I am continually relieved at how cheap running is relative to most hobbies - I just pay for shoes, some clothes (don't need many), and race fees. Personally I feel like I have plenty of headroom to give on what I'd be willing to spend on what is easily my favorite hobby, and would really consider paying for something like this (I just had a kid so I'm not doing a lot of training right now).

For comparison, I have paid ~$100 for 3-month training programs and would gladly do it again. So these prices are in line with what I'd expect to pay for a dedicated running training program.
There was an article/study saying girl grades were shifted due to teacher appreciating their answers as better. I'm not sure how solid the study is (I still fail to understand how grades can shift for a whole group of pupill) but yeah grades can be fickle.
> A big reason we use leetcode style challenges is because they can be automatically scored, while take-homes take a lot more to review.

Literally this. You can pretty much do all of the interviews required for FANG without talking to a human being, which from the FANG perspective, is absolutely GREAT, because it takes all of the existing social biases (e.g preferring a certain race, preferring a certain gender, etc.) out of the window and focuses ONLY on the algorithmic knowledge of the applicant.

Of course, there might be some interview here and there about soft questions, but for the most part, they don't really give a shit about that, and it's unlikely that you'd be rejected based on that, unless you _really_ suck at bull-shitting success/failure stories (which I am - can't stand doing it).

I think the last time I applied to Amazon (over a year ago at this point) I didn't even get phone screened. It was just a link to 2 graph algorithm problems that were the equivalent of a medium difficultly on Leetcode, and I was immediately graded. It's so fricking easy for FANG nowadays.
Is that like Russia's version of the BBC?
We should realize that any technology without controls will be taken advantage of. There's a reason we've moved away from insecure default logins, unauthenticated admin portals and allowing apps to do whatever they want - those things have all been abused.

Security must start in the design. Spam killed pingbacks, and unless Webmentions design with that flaw in mind they're doomed to the same end.
Cross that bridge when you get there. If nobody uses, there's no problem. If so many people are using it that it attracts spam, then the users can decide how to solve it at that point in time.
Foreign powers did not create Israel. Jews did.

> carved out a new action state to give to Native Americans
I rather like the idea that Native Americans could have their own country if they choose, as Jews do now, something better than reservations. China and Russia have nothing to do with it.
Either you can ignore the data that suggests there are differences between girls and boys, or it might be worth considering some problem solving.

E.g. at any point do we think about optimizing some learning environments for boys? When college graduation rates in the US are 70/30 girl/boy, is that okay? I know it feels weird asking the question since those ratios were flipped a few years ago, and we fixed it...
Every time this post got to +1, it got hammered to -2 within seconds until a few minutes ago. This happened every few minutes for the last hour until the story left the front page, and now it’s +9 and there are no downvotes to be seen. I know we’re not supposed to talk about downvotes, but I think I maybe just got suppressed. It was really, really weird watching it. Is it possible to report it for investigation? I don’t care about my karma or even being told the results of the investigation, but I’d love it if a mod looked into this
Exactly this, +1. I definitely have nothing to hide but I really don't want my photos of my kids to end up in some dark web location used by pedophiles, just because google is an idiot and let it slip while backed my photos without my consent in their cloud (true story, I had to fight 3 months to have that backup deleted from their server).
I've been offered so many goodies for good reviews on everything from Amazon to restaurants that want good reviews on Yelp. Sometimes they will even offer you a coupon for a 5* review on a receipt.

That aside, why is it that people get to commit fraud and Google gets the blame?
I'd happily accept a PR to the docs! I launched this service in... 2012
As a lucratively employed Silicon Valley engineer, I’ve never seen leetcode. Not even sure what it looks like or how it works.

And that’s with being an immigrant from eastern-ish europe.

But it sure is fun to flog on it as a meme. I doubt more than 30% of engineers working in SV startups ever actually used leetcode. And I certainly wouldn’t hire anyone above absolute junior based on their leeting skillz.

Depends on the cirumstances. For example, if you have a criminal record, some of big tech is quite a bit less interested in talking to you. Criminal syndicates, obviously, don't consider a criminal record a deal-breaker.
I'm not entirely sure I'm getting what you're conveying here. Are you just reminding everyone that change is slow to come, and to be pragmatic about these applications? (I agree with that.) Are you also claiming it's futile to attempt to change or push back against this interviewing process, at least through discussion about it?

With enough push back, I do think it's possible that those in charge of hiring in the world might reconsider how valuable leetcode tests are to judging potential employees.
I don't have to imagine it; you can see that sentiment on HN threads about gender pretty regularly.

So this puts an absolutely huge amount of trust in one place (the Sky ECC) company. A single point of failure that can control and have access to everything if it goes rogue.
