I've done a few as a candidate and interviewer. My favorite for Android might be...

Round 1:

Quick call, 30 min max. Filter that they can speak the language, not come late, aren't intolerable assholes. Ask a question, let them talk, maybe 2-3 questions, doesn't have to be technical. This is to show respect for the next stage. It can also be a few chats via email, or a coffee. Usually HR does this.

Round 2:

Technical filter. This is to filter them out before they get to your expensive engineers. This can be your HackerRank/Codility. 0.5-4 hours is ideal there.

Alternatively, it can be a technical project, up to a weekend. A simple one like downloading files or accessing a network. Keep in mind that apps take a long time to build from scratch... it might take 2 hours to write a page, but it'll take a whole day to set up a project, architecture, network, testing suite, and so on. You'll want to assess that they can write code.

Round 3:

Personal interview, done by the engineering manager and/or colleagues. Dig into their resume, see if they're hiding something (good or bad). Don't hammer them with small questions. Don't be shy here, bring up all the yellow flags. Let them talk, then ask probing questions based on this answer, go with your gut. Many devs are introverts, and most of us can't clearly remember the details some engineering challenge from a job 3 years ago. Watch what makes them animated, watch what they zone out on.

Good questions are how they'd implement/update caches, hardware related questions if you do that. How would they implement a beauty filter on the camera? How would they make a SDK? How would they handle live data? What's their opinion on Jetpack Compose?

Bad questions are vague ones like "What drives you?" or "Tell me your biggest challenge." I've freelanced for years; I have a 22 page portfolio documenting challenges. Asking me which one was hardest is just going to activate my death march PTSD. Be specific.

Round 4:

Technical fit interview. Anyone here should have about a 50% chance of getting the job. Adjust previous filters if there's too many.

This should be about 1-3 full days, depending on seniority. Offer to pay for their time. Fly them into the HQ, give them a comfy hotel. This should hurt the employer too, especially the longer the interview is. This is also where you show respect so they pick you over other offers; any skilled person would still be evaluating 3 other options at this point. This is also where they get cold feet.

Again, building an app from scratch costs about half a day. Whether the question is trivial or difficult, it'll cost them. Online demos are popular during this pandemic, but many devs don't use an emulator, and they're terribly glitchy. A compiled file, or git branch could work better for demos.

So the ideal is to have a bit of code written up, based on your existing architecture. It's technical fit, let them figure out your code. Ask them to hack something into it.

The hard things to implement are architecture/Jetpack, testing, hardware (camera/file/permissions) related, database. Give them things that need to be in muscle memory and are already part of your workflow.
Also, it is easy and much less disruptive to declare new features (and not the whole API) as unstable while they still may change, and promise stability for the rest.
I was homeless for nearly six years, along with my two adult sons for whom I was financially responsible. I am absolutely not a stranger to the fact that the world is perfectly happy to watch me starve while going "La la la not listening" to my observations that my gender is a factor in my intractable poverty.

This is precisely why I am unwilling to back down on some things.

If it is any comfort, I took your initial comment as well-meaning and intended to be helpful. It's just not a position I can embrace.

There comes a point past which politely going along to get along is part of the problem, not part of some kind of solution.

I have a strong track record of leaving nuanced comments on HN asserting that "No, it is not as simple as sexism and intentional exclusion of women in X case. Here is the data and women make choices." etc.

But in this case, I am quite confident that women not only get actively encouraged to go into early childhood education, they get actively advised that this is what they should do if their initial desired major has a strong math component and they are having trouble with the math and this is not done to men.

My oldest son ended up math phobic because his teachers couldn't teach it and brought a lot of baggage to the table. So I have seen firsthand what it can do to a child and that child doesn't have to be a girl to be negatively impacted by the emotional baggage that so many elementary school teachers have over the subject of math.

It can be a boy whose relationship to math is being egregiously harmed long term because of so many elementary school teachers having had their own dreams crushed on the excuse that "math is too hard for you" rather than being told "You can audit the class. You can get a tutor. You have to pass it, but it's fine if you only get a C as long your overall GPA is high enough. etc."

It doesn't just break women to have this done to women. It is breaking our society.

So if men value math and STEM, this is a practice they should be concerned about as well. It isn't just a women's issue by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm not angry at you. I'm not offended at your attempt to look out for my welfare in a cold, cruel world.

It's just the wrong answer in this case and I've basically crawled naked across broken glass for nearly twelve years on HN to claim my right to speak my mind to some degree here and I am going to exercise that right on details of this sort.
I'll stick with mainstream sources.

I was responding to his lengthy diversion on the commutabality of British and Italian actors, which seems to be rooted in the delusional American notion (dating back to the late 19th century, recently revived by lefties who deny the existence of white native European nations) that Italians aren't "white". In reality, Italian and British phenotype variation overlaps significantly.

Of course, it's not like if you clone a file on your hard drive 10 times, the manufacturer of what you're cloning loses tenfold. But every person who has used the product without paying for it is such a loss. I don't know what the "every stolen copy" argument has to do with anything. Not everyone who downloaded would have bought. But that can't simply be calculated with some neat "every stolen copy" slogan. It is an argument to justify the thieves.

> I'm going to stick my neck out and explain why I've chosen to put myself at the back of the queue for vaccines this time around.

I'm not getting vaccinated because I think I had "Early Covid", which I define as a case of SARS-CoV-2 before there was a test to diagnose it. Someone on Twitter said the timeline promoted by the media is impossible [2]; Michael Burry (MD in The Big Short [4]) pointed out that December 2019 blood samples with SARS-Cov-2 showed "#containment was never possible" [3].

> For people in our age range this is especially important because the risk of suffering badly from COVID is negligible.

Bad medicine dramatically increases the possibility of dying from a SARS-CoV-2 infection, no matter your age.

Good medicine for bad cases of SARS-CoV-2 is the anti-serotonin drug Cyproheptadine [0], which are useful for pulling people out of their death spirals.

More vulnerable people wouldn't be put into their death spirals if doctors remembered that oxygen in excess is toxic, but we have to work with the doctors we have. "is this pure (toxic) oxygen, or the oxygen with the antidote?" should be asked by all patients who are given oxygen to worsen their body's ability to use oxygen [1].

>under the guise of “increased margin requirements”.

>In fact, those margin requirements were being set by Robinhood’s prime broker and investor, Citadel Securities

To clarify, you're saying NSCC(DTCC) National Securities Clearing Corporation was instructed by Citadel to increase margin requirements? Example story:
https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/01/investing/robinhood-gamestop-...

Regardless of whether NSCC acted independently or under secret pressure from Citadel, what could Robinhood have done differently? If they didn't have the billions in the bank to control their destiny, what other options do they have? If the clearing house cuts off Robinhood's trade settlement, what are the realistic alternatives?
Yeah, EA source code is probably much easier to understand than their end products.
I wish I could find the tweets, but I've heard multiple times already from people reverse engineering software - it doesn't matter that much. With enough experience some actually prefer the disassembled / processed graph view of the real executed code rather than potentially more complex multiple levels of abstraction in the source. I'm sure it will be contentious and not everyone will agree, but at least it shows that the barrier really isn't that large.

But even then you have the whole area of protocol reverse engineering and data fuzzing which doesn't require the source at all.

Because stocks valuations don't jump by 2000%, with volumes up 3000% 'all the time'.

And when they do, they aren't solely driven by retail investor mania pig-piling the exact same brokerage.

And, uh, particular brokerages have stopped uni-directional trades for volatile stocks in the past, for the exact same reason. You may notice that no retail brokerage makes any guarantees to its customers that they will be able to trade anything, anytime they want. They don't carry a collateral that can meet any such guarantee.

The Working from Home Paradox
But the wider point is that "intellectual property" cannot effectively be "stolen", only "unlawfully obtained or reproduced". Nobody is ever deprived of IP or even its legally-created exploitation rights; it's only the market value of such IP that is allegedly affected.

I reckon we need a new word. "Pirating" has sort-of taken that space but it's not really good and it only covers distribution. It should be something that carries a meaning of "swindled", "wiped away", "theoretic-market-value-corrupted".

See for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27468360 where the person mentions pressure to simplify advice and Tetlocks own work shows that the hedgehogs were the more famous and successful people. So some people may migrate backwards by simplifying a message for maximum impact.

Defeating the Demons of Poverty
Defeating the demons of poverty: Reject slumber so that wealth shall come thy way,

we all know that being born poor doesn’t mean that you can’t be rich,

while being born rich doesn’t safeguard your riches, but one things is sure that

by his grace, we all have the assurance to live in abundance, because

God is a God of abundance. Jesus Christ is rich but He became poor for us

so that through His poverty, you and I will be rich, so normally,

there should be nothing like poverty in a child of God, you need to be aware

of the demon of poverty and break loose from its forces.
The solution is worse than the problem if you live with this attitude.

In addition it is too reductive and doesn't represent the very complex (even enjoyably subtle) interactions that go on between humans who do want something from each other.

I don't know how it is in the US at the moment, but in the UK we're in the bizarro world where the mainstream progressive party (Labour - like the Democrats in the US) seems to have a growing number of people, including young, media-savvy people you'd think would be extremely progressive, who are pretty openly anti-Semitic, while still considering themselves anti-racist.

It's crazy and frightening.

For example one popular progressive actress' response to George Floyd was to... claim it was a Jewish conspiracy... then retweeted by a senior person in the party who was almost leader. Almost in line to be PM of the UK! Bizarre.

That sounds like me. Whenever doctors have asked me when I normally go to sleep, I don't have an answer.

I'd say sleep hygiene is necessary but not sufficient. I'm guessing you are aware of the reddit forums for N24/DSPS,that are also pretty intolerant of sleep hygiene talk. But the part about getting up after 30 minutes or so to start over is definitely very helpful for me.

For me, meditation also helps a lot, which I think suggests my main problem is anxiety/stress.

> but every person who has used the product without paying for it is such a loss.

i bought lots of products only after pirating them. would i not have done that i would not have bought many things at all. I also fondly remember simply not having the funds to buy software and pirating them was the only way to move forward. in both cases my "stolen" copy should not account for a loss of sale and the former even supported making a sale at all....
I've downvoted your answer here as I think it is a ungenerous interpretation of the post you replied to.

It's just as likely that OP did already know that what you are insisting on is not relevant to their use case. That might be why they stated it.
The conflation of Trump supporters with (anti-semitic) white supremacism quickly falls apart when considering that figures like Richard Spencer will openly endorse Biden (as an accelerationist).

Trumps unrelenting support for Israel is simply too hard to stomach for somebody who is strongly concerned about a „zionist occupied government“.

There have been multiple attacks like this and it seems the stolen code is usually made public in the end. I presume people will look at it and reuse some concepts and I wonder if this could lead to the technical state of the industry becoming better as a whole.
I am an adept of the free code as we should own the source code of the products we buy. It might be too early for society to adopt something this radical but I believe Stallman was right. Mainly that's why I stick to open source technology only.

Prof here. I don't use proctoring software, nor does anyone at my college.

But there is an issue. If I have someone who did the homework, learned the material, and can demonstrate it on the exams, and they find out that someone else in class got the same grade by cheating, aren't they justified in being angry? And am I not justified in being distressed to find that I am certifying someone as knowledgable (say,as part of an undergraduate program to become a person who designs bridges), when they are not?

My point is that there are for-real issues. That is, sober analysis needs to balance a lot of things, including people's genuine right to privacy and the effectiveness of the software, but also including the missions of the institutions and the wider needs of society.

> institutions have looked for a technological fix where there isn’t one.

Yes, the killer slam is that the proctoring software doesn't work. But what if it did?

Finger wagging warning: I'm approaching retirement. But you, that is, lots of folks now reading HN, will need to, over the course of their careers, work these issues through. There isn't a simple fix, IMHO. I hope people will try to give it serious attention.
