>It's highly possible that Google has some concept of freezing reviews while it investigates something

I doubt google is investigating each bad review they receive, though, so it happening to both accounts is odd.
It doesn't seem to work for prepaid T-Mobile customers.

The menus at prepaid.t-mobile.com are slightly different, and don't seem to have the necessary options.

Prepaid customers definitely seem to be second class customers at T-Mobile.

First, the T-Mobile app doesn't work for us. It says "Sorry we're not ready for you yet. We're working on improving your app experience" and tells you to use the website. It's been doing that for several years now.

Second, they don't support paying with Apple pay.

And now, it looks like we don't get the same privacy options that postpaid customers get.

I don't understand why they have this separation.
Frankly, I'd rather everyone not study, and just hire the people who don't need months of refresher studying to do figure out some short coding problems...
Good ol' fiat money, of course. The economic system we have, which enjoys tremendous performance benefits of using interpersonal trust as a heuristic.
The technology (ternary) is crackpot and it's centralized. Their plan to decentralize is both technically flawed and unrealistic because they aren't competent enough to execute it.

The boundary-testing so exhausting. I've noticed it's much more prevalent in some groups, and avoiding those environments has benefited my mental health so much.
That right there would be surprising and disturbing. Collagen that shows up in the diet could arrive with subtle flaws.

Wikipedia: "as of 2011, 30 types of collagen have been identified"

Besides getting the wrong type, it could just be damaged. It also seems like an awfully big molecule to pass from the digestive tract to the blood. If that can pass through, then many poisons would also pass through.

Collagen is bigger than some viruses.
I wouldn't be surprised, though I would be similarly skeptical that other healing-related issues would sway people one way or the other either since (at least the vegans I know) don't adopt the lifestyle for health reasons.

Very large effects are unlikely given the number of long-term vegans who seem to maintain sufficient health. Whereas small effects might be considered a worthwhile sacrifice.
Wait, what? You're against building codes? A lack of building codes is in no way why the US has been successful. They prevent people from literally burning.

Eh, I think it will average out eventually.

New political currents hate ambiguity and nuance. If you're trying to motivate people to rise up against the Empire, the last thing you want to hear is people saying "Okay, but some imperial officers are actually good people, and this Saw Guerrera is a sadistic monster", even though both are true.

Eventually, once the Rebellion becomes widespread enough, people start saying "Okay, the Empire was awful and we're glad it's gone, but maybe we should cut back on the whole hunt-down-every-single-ex-stormtrooper-and-murder-them-and-their-family thing".

I hope, anyway.

There’s a trope in kids cartoons, where everyday objects becoming scary looming nightmare things at night time. We can play that game with anything! Cars: “a 2 ton metal box we hurl through space in a life ending daily slalom”. Careers: “underhanded slavery - don’t work and you don’t eat. We make you choose your poison so you’re complicit in crafting the chains around your ankles”. Children: “Biologically enforced obligations which destroy the best years of your life...”. The fact that we can tell scary stories doesn’t make the stories true.

With interviews - my claim is this: A well designed interview has a high statistical correlation between passing the interview and being useful on the job. Eg when I was interviewing we gave candidates some buggy code (with failing tests) and asked them to find and fix the problems. The ability to debug unfamiliar code in a job interview is correlated with the ability to do the same thing at work.

If you can’t read code, I don’t want to employ you. Please practice and reapply, or find work elsewhere. This is a reasonable position - and probably the only reasonable position for an employer to hold.

There’s lots of skills other than debugging: coding, profiling, algorithmic analysis, CS fundamentals, architecture, communicating with coworkers, etc. A mediocre interview assesses 1 of these skills. A good interview assesses 5+.

Are there bad interviews out there? Yes, lots. But interviews themselves - even badly designed ones - aren’t abusive. (Unless you think a rejection is abuse).

I get that some people put themselves through leetcode practice hell to get a job because they’re unemployable otherwise. I have sympathy for this but I don’t think this is the fault of the interview process. I suspect any decent assessment process would have the same result - where some people need to improve before they can get hired.
Many would suggest that such an action you propose is fundamentally immoral.

Lets say a hypothetical company is overall $-4 Billion in debt (total assets - liabilities). You successfully raise $5 Billion from some means.

Now you're in a position where you sold $5 Billion worth of shares on a company that (by all fair evaluations) is only worth $1 Billion after the capital raise.
I noticed the same thing: I opted out (both analytics and ads options) a few months ago when I switched to T-Mobile. They since ignored my preferences and opted me back in. Unbelievable. I don't even know when they did this.

Do I now have to keep checking on these settings??

Changing privacy preferences without my knowledge or permission must be made illegal. Total FB like move.

Also, I'm generally tired of this concept of "ads relevant to me" BS.

> You could argue that Bitcoin is also an asset you can hold for diversification purposes but ask yourself this: would people hold Bitcoin if it was expected to hold a constant value against the US dollar? Or another relatively stable currency? Or even a basket of such currencies?

There are several of these types of cryptocurrencies (representing gold, USD, EUR, or other "stable" units of account), and the largest of them, USDT, has 2.7M holders despite credible accusations of mismanagement of their billions of USD that supposedly back their issuance.

We don't need to guess: cryptocurrencies, even ones with a fixed value relative to USD, are useful and valuable to lots of people.
" I expect you'll like the quotes. (I'd recommend learning more about the context more than just the quotes, but hey, it's the internet). "

This is what you said about my penchant to use quotation marks. There's not a single person on the face of the earth who won't find that rude.

It's subtle but it's akin to saying "go learn English" or "go learn proper grammar" in the middle of a debate but disguised as a "suggestion." You can't even say that garbage to a person who speaks English as a second language.

It's a low blow and I'm calling you out for what you are. You did that on purpose and you are a rude person. Your initial apology is therefore not accepted because I know it's fake.

We're done. I have no interest in continuing a conversation with you.
Something else Stripe and most other "serious" webhook senders do is only send Webhooks from a predefined set of IP addresses [1].

That’s exactly what services like luminati.io (holavpn) are used for. While accounts can be purchased, they then need to remain tied to a US IP address to avoid being restricted.

There are some legitimate uses to proxy through residential IPs, but I wonder what percentage of traffic through luminati is legitimate. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a single digit percentage.
> "I would think that if you already work for a FAANG or other well-respected tech company, that would de facto serve as your "professional certification" and help avoid these ridiculous interview processes"

Nope, not at all. Despite their rigorous hiring process, even the FAANGs have bad hires, burn outs, or people who simply can't keep up with the pace. Some FAANGs require an interview loop even for internal transfers to guard against a bad hire.
Git: Malicious repositories can execute remote code while cloning
My kids astound me by having little to no awareness of what toys there are to buy, and I'm convinced this is because of commercial-free streaming (and perhaps the dearth of print catalogs.) Maybe it's a devil's bargain, but a bit of DRM feels worth being free from a materialist/consumerist monkey on your back.
I'd prefer credentials, honestly. Something like the bar for law (but with no specific academic requirements - a test anyone can take) would be useful. If whiteboarding works, that can be done once and become an accreditation. Repeating the process with every job application makes it harder to change jobs, because you either have to do serious prep before a slew of interviews or keep those interview-specific skills up. It also makes the minimum time to get a new position very high.

In some countries, various (college/uni) majors/programs have their own quotas or bonus "entrance points" for gender, if the majors are very unbalanced. If/when over time this balance gets closer to 50/50, those quotas/points are removed.
I’m not claiming anything about the correctness of this proof, but if it isn’t correct, writing a program that implements the algorithm would be a waste of time.

So, if the proof is hard to follow and describes a complex algorithm, grad students who don’t fully grok the supposed proof might not be that happy to work on that program. They might end up looking for a nonexistent bug in their program for months.

I also think it’s illustrative to mention the Grothendieck prime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/57_(number)) here, as an example of how little concern some mathematicians have for applications of their results. That _could_ explain why Schnorr didn’t bother to even ask his students to write that program.

This is a consequence of the low-fat craze that peaked in the 90s but still exists. When you remove fat from yogurt, you need to add sugar and gelatin back in so it has flavor and texture.

That said, you should be able to find plenty of real yogurt in the US now.

No. Some of the unions negotiated some inexpensive tuitions and the university gave that to everyone (so I was told)..
You do have a point but in case you are saddened by this phenomena, let me just point out that we live in a VERY different age compared to when GNU coreutils were born. Nowadays you only get a few minutes -- or hours if you are lucky -- to answer a ton of fundamental questions like "where do we host code?" and "how do we communicate on this project?" or "how do we do CI/CD?" etc.

The people in the past had all the time in the world to tinker and invent. Maybe I am mistaken though, past is usually looked through rose-tinted glasses right?

But the fact remains: nowadays answering the above questions is beyond my pay grade: in fact it's beyond anyone's pay grade. Services like GitHub are deemed a commodity and questioning that status quo is a career danger.

I really do wish we start over on most of the items you enumerated. But I am not paid to do it. In fact I am paid to quickly select tools and never invent any -- except when they solve a pressing business need and are specific enough for the organization; in that case it's not only okay but a requirement.

Beyond anything else however, we practically have no choice. If I don't host a new company project on GitHub I'll eventually be fired and replaced with somebody who will.
Everything that matters to the working class*

Our imperialism, weapons tech, and exploitation of the working class are top notch. The amount banks take from people with no money in overdraft fees alone should be cause for a revolution.
How does "stupidity" explain that the poster's account showed the review but someone else's account didn't?
There are often a variety of overly simplistic solutions to a problem that address one issue but sacrifice a lot in return. The reality is that fake reviews are incredibly difficult to solve.
The term I always heard is “manufactured home” which makes more sense. I grew up in a double wide. Once it’s set up you quite obviously can’t move it again without wrecking everything lol
Its an attack by bitcoin's enemies (and those that simply refuse to understand) to decredit it. We see this every so often, especially when there are big price jumps. Standard FUD attack.
This cycle we are seeing: "Mining Concentration", "Based on Nothing" or "My Energy Usage".

I think its a form of therapy for the nocoiners. They can be safe with their delusion that 'thank goodness I didn't get involved in such a shady business! its destroying the planet.', while tradfi continues to commodify their life, and central banks print away their life savings.
This issue has been beat to death. Everyone here loves to FUD crypto around here for some reason.

‘Clean-room reverse engineering’ refers to the practice of having one person look at disassembled source code, spec sheets, actual behaviour, etc. of some program; describe that behaviour to a second person; and having the second person implement the described behaviour.

“Interesting” logic.

“We eradicate HIV. So what? Malaria will occupy it’s place in the list of deadly diseases.

We stop serial killer A. So what? Serial killer B will become number 1.

We stopped all burglars. So what? Cyber-crime becomes the leading threat!

It’s too late, the idea of the crime is out of the bottle! What do you want, to start global brainwashing operation to tell people that stealing is bad?!”

Well yes. Why not start a “global brainwashing program” of explaining to folks that burning a noticeable share of world’s energy to create a mechanism that is outside of control of (ideally) democratic and therefore accountable governments and is to a good degree under control of shady groups is not such a good idea?

Additional note for those interested. A while ago I watched a lecture by Francis Fukuyama where he talks among other things about states which collapse simply because they’ve lost effective control over part of their territory. That’s actually pretty scary and makes you think. It’s good when a government is able to control a certain thing but doesn’t. And it’s a different story when a government simply cannot do anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKq_YvC1R14

P.S. Drugs are actually a bad example. Most of them haven’t won at all. And in many places they were practically driven out (including alcohol). Their price increases when you prohibit them. Their effectiveness does not depend on the number of users, etc.
No, effect size very much informs all of that.

Can someone explain to me what is happening with Hertz? They still seem to be doing business in Australia. I have rented cars with them in recent months.

In my rental contracts it looked like the company was in the US. Has it been bought up?

I have mostly good experiences renting with Hertz and I'd be sad to see them go.
>A big reason we use leetcode style challenges is because they can be automatically scored

but they're not? every screen i've been through has been on something that doesn't even compile the code (e.g. coderpad.io for FB or docs at G) and the interviewer then writes a summary afterwards (ala hiring packet at G) with ratings along some axes.
There is an advocacy* movie called The Game Changers which highlights several vegan athletes and makes the case that their plant-based diet contributes to their success. https://gamechangersmovie.com/

As I recall, wasn't Google Wave something like the proposals in the article?
I used to use and love a fintech app, they pivoted (in a way) from targeting banking nerds (with features like on the fly coupling of cards to accounts, an API, unlimited simple payment websites, etc, really nice, innovative features) to targeting "the Green crowd" (integrated their Insta feed into the app, pushed a more expensive subscription with social features that planted trees as you spend money, etc). I saw them go from 4.5 to below 2 stars over the course of a couple of days. But then after some days they were back at 4.7 with the CEO gloating that everyone loved the new version even more than the old one. The forum and the play store were filled with emotional complaints and even new users must have been bothered by all the bugs the new version introduced. I don't believe any of the play store reviews anymore since then.

The pivoting is fine and I can see that it is annoying when your early adopters "cripple" the launch of your all new app with a sub 2 star rating. But imo it was justified in this case because where the old app was super stable and fast, the new app was littered with bugs and features became much more difficult to find.
This is simultaneously so wrong and so right.

So wrong because it equates passing the interview with being good at the job. These two things have almost nothing in common.

So right because practicing jumping though artificial hoops is exactly what you need to do to succeed at a large corporate. This skill is orthogonal to contributing actual value.
> “For us, we've always looked at financing events, whether they're primary, secondary or public markets, as a tool in the tool belt. It's something that you can reach for as a person who runs a business that can help you when you need it,” says Foster. “I think that's a much healthier approach to things than sort of getting on a hamster wheel that is difficult to get off.”

That's seems like a pragmatic and healthy attitude towards venture capital. I feel like venture capital is gasoline. You can pour in on a fire to make it grow quickly, just make sure you first have a good fire going and careful not to get burned in the process.
Type checker, yes. I don't think esbuild comes with a built-in typechecker either.

Is there anything else I am missing?
We need a compromise where proven, experienced engineers can stop having to go through everyone's homebrewed technical interview and new candidates still have a shot if they don't have that credential yet. It should be up to companies to decide if they want to use those credentials, and I suspect companies would switch if it maintained a good reputation because why bother with a job that requires a technical interview?
Anomalies and people born with defects do not disprove the overall rule. Just like people being born with 6 fingers do not change the fact that humans have 5 finders at each hand. I'm not sure if there is a name for this type of argument, but this is a fallacy. In science virtually nothing is true 100% of the time. This is not what science is about.

The second link basically confirms what I suspected.

The way they were monetized before SaaS was a thing. You sell licenses to use them. You can't 100% prevent people from using them without a license but for the most part you don't really have to. A company with real assets is generally not going to use a cracked version of proprietary libraries and expose themselves to litigation.

"better visual sense"

This example pertains to mean skill level which doesn't seem relevant to the variability hypothesis (which pertains instead to variance of traits/skills/interests).

If your point is that the empirical findings underpinning the variability hypothesis may have some cultural causes instead of being only genetic, then we don't disagree. But I wouldn't agree that the culture-over-genes perspective is undersubscribed, that's the most fashionable and socially acceptable perspective to take.
You've just described requirements that belong to a service. Congratulations, you made the right (obvious) decision.

I'm talking about writing entire services that are just wrappers around ffmpeg, pdf2html, parquet-tools, Olson tzdata, or a 10-parameter logistic regression. No stateful behavior, storage, or authoritative source of truth involved. The worst case I've seen was a service that just enumerates a bunch of values of constants (that actually never change).

There may have been some future-proofing in mind at the time, but more likely it was a solution in search of a problem.
In today's climate perfectly gender diverse means 100% women.

There was a bank that bragged some years ago about being the most diverse bank, since they had 65% or whatever women on the board. 50% was explicitly less diverse than 65%.
