>At least in theory, especially given how much the Chinese political establishment is attuned to the needs of the Chinese commoner, this does protect the national interest.

No, that protects the Communist Party's interests, not the average citizen's one.

In china politicians control billionaires as much as it is required so that the party doesn't lose it's influence/control, nothing more.It's well known China is de facto very capitalistic in this regard(at least at the very high level), but only if you don't piss off the communist party and obey all the way, provide all info and basically be their lapdog.This still happens even if we're talking about companies that rise up due to nepotism.Ironically in practice this makes china somewhat fascistic by definition, it's just that private companies are not publicly controlled & aligned with the party.

I believe this is incorrect even from the simple economic perspective.

Many companies (BigTech for example) are extremely net-positive financially. This means that the value they gain per employee is much higher than what they pay them.

Taking this further - the customers in many cases (and certainly in ideal cases) are getting more value than the price they are paying (hence they agree to pay), so in a sense you could argue that the value is actually even larger. This of course scales several times when working on some infrastructure (though the effect is very not obvious).

On the contrary.

This thread is old but before it closes I'd implore future netizens to check out the work from John W. Day and Charles Hall. The article [1] The Myth of the Sustainable City is a good summary of the work.

If I had to summarize it it's a mix of [2] Goodharts Law and the [3] Outsourcing of Pollution.

When a state imports energy (or materials) from another state to make its own state's pollution stats look better it's just outsourcing pollution. Not reducing it. And it obscures the region's actual climate impact. It's a shell game but it can't be played much longer. The gig is up.

I think the post-covid wfh job market has clouded something a bit which is that the tech industry in particular is becoming increasing oversaturated.

There is so many people applying for positions now that companies are resorting to these more and more annoying filtering processes.

My first job in this field 14 years ago was one interview and I got the job the next day. That would be almost impossible today.

I blame it on two things, oversaturation of the "learn to code" meme and the rise and growth of recruitment agencies and their influence on HR practices. They have to justify their own jobs after all - just 10 years ago there wasn't really much of a concept of an HR or IT recruiter as far as I recall - or it was just emerging.

I've said this before but I believe this field is becoming increasingly commodified. Soon you will be either a "white-collar" fang or a blue-collar "independent contractor".
This is my experience too. In fact I stopped using todoist due to how it handled recurring tasks - which, like you, is a huge part of how I stay organized. For me, "remember the milk" does recurring correctly and is very low friction.
That makes it a high margin business, not a scam.
Imagine going to a fast food shop to order a pizza. The Italian cashier says they don't have pizzas. You can clearly see bunch of pizzas displayed next to him, with price tags and everything. What's the problem then? Well, according to the Italian cashier, this is not really a pizza. It does not fit the definition of pizza they have in Italy. If you want to order it, you have to say "Give me that bread with meat and vegetables on top". If you go to another shop and say that, they will look you like you are mental.

This is the problem. For every definition of woman I can give you, you can easily dispute with counter argument. So we get "something". Undefined, because every definition is flawed. We end up with an overcomplicated system because we want to be accurate. If you think woman is a woman and pizza is a pizza - you are wrong. And we make so much fuss about it.
Something doesn’t add up. It’s not like there is a shortage of challenging material to learn and test on. I don’t know why tests are easy and then the people who can’t ace the watered down tests compete amongst themselves for the less less able titles. why don’t they just put some general relativity, quantum field theory, regular expressions, group theory, Elliptic curves, taxes, sec regulations, emacs, vim, options pricing, portfolio risk management, reinforcement learning, go, chess etc on the test…

That’s true, but as a Taiwanese I can tell you Taiwan being taken over by another country is definitely in the shortlist of plausible scenarios. Not particularly likely, but definitely not fictional at all, maybe somewhere around Pearl Harbor possibility.
I don't know about CTO positions but I do know people working as Soft. Engineer barely able to code.

Funny enough -as in the article- they are usually attracted to teaching (medium posts, best practice talks, youtube videos...) and mentoring/managing positions. Maybe as a way to escape from coding. Or maybe they want to safe others of struggling with the same problem they have. I don't know.

Redhat: This one was for you. From the moment I applied through a recruiter until I got an offer letter was about 13 months.

In that time, I had already started my new job -- I didn't actually take the role at RedHat, but, I was able to use their offer letter as leverage to increase my salary.

I've worked for YC companies, I've worked for large companies. The larger companies seem to be a little bit easier to get into: my only interview at Luxottica was literally someone asking me about some retail experience I had about 20 years ago and some very basic Linux questions (retail technical architect position), but, I've had YC companies have a multi-month long interview process where I've been told after 10 or 11 interviews that they thought I was "Too senior for the role," which, just kinda blew my mind.

The whole process is broken, but, there's not really a good solution to fix it.
This. Help the person you're interviewing. You'll both get more out of it, you'll both enjoy it. If you're in a company that is expanding, you'll be interviewing a lot, so it's really important that it doesn't depress the shit out of you.

If you think about it from a macro perspective, we're talking about Chinese companies generally suffering an investment hit. It is unlikely there are very many people "shorting china".

But even so, shorts "dont make the world go round". They are a necessary mechanism against exuberance, but companies selling shares and using those to invest/grow -- that's the heart of the promise of shareholder capitalism.

> In China, politicians control billionaires.

The problem is when said politicians are a small faction of fallible people with unlimited power and no procedure of being peacefully replaced. Such a setup strongly hints at the fact that they really don’t want to give up control, which implies any policy is bound to protect their position first. They might act selflessly or benefit the nation at some particular point in time, but blindly counting on it being consistently so seems foolish.

If you don't know by now, printing has changed. It's no longer just about what happens in the office. Now, people want to print from where they want, when they want. And that means a lot more printing is happening on devices not managed by IT departments. This means printers are more susceptible to malware since their regular security updates aren't coming from IT — they're coming from manufacturers of the printer or operating systems or third party apps used on them. https://www.braindumps4it.com/braindumps-HP2-I06.html

Rent-seeking is nevertheless what landlords are doing via the collection of rent on a leased house, in the cast majority of cases.

If the rent being charged is in excess of market value, there is indisputably a surplus profit being pocketed by the owner, which thereby cancels any contribution back to society (quite the opposite, in fact, since the profit is directly off of the backs of tenants, who are typically not land / property owners).

However - even if the landlord is charging market rate, rent-seeking is still going on when the value of the property has appreciated (say, the whole neighborhood’s property values have gone up) and the owner is charging tenants in excess of what the owner is actually paying (which was negotiated at the time of purchase, when the value was lower) in order to make a profit where the owner has not contributed at least the same amount of value.

Since both of these tend to be the typical case in the landlord-tenant relationship - property value goes up, landlord accordingly raises rent in order to profit off of unearned income (which it is, at least according to US tax law), landlords are absolutely rent-seeking rent-seekers.

And while I sympathize with the plight of the retired granny and grampa landlords whose fatal flaw was trusting their no good, criminal-minded tenants too much - that does not hold a candle to the plight of the millions of working class Americans who will be sleeping in their cars because they didn’t have the foresight to become homeowners.
So poetic and so true!
That's nice, I generally like setups like this that capture content and give me control over things (I've seen something similar on HN with passively saving any papers in PDF format viewed in the browser and then building fulltext search on top if, or e.g. approaches like this: https://github.com/thesephist/monocle).

That being said, in the spirit of my comment — I honestly don't care too much about what I might be missing due to sites going down etc. anymore. The truly great stuff I save somewhere offline, but that's one or two levels past all the random things I currently use bookmarks for.

It's either important and expensive or it isn't. I wouldn't be "shocked" by anything. I used to be a recruiter. In my current dev position, I have absolutely nuked candidates by asking basic questions that the managers (who were eager to hire someone to fill a spot) and other devs (who would feel uncomfortable if they asked the question and hence didn't) failed to ask. A candidate who will try to bullshit me about something he doesn't actually know is someone who will waste time on projects by not using all the resources available to him to find the correct solution (this usually involves being brave enough to ask questions if you don't understand something). If my future depends on your success, then I'm going to ask questions that will make me feel like I can trust my future in your hands.

If a manager is getting paid $150K a year and it costs $200K to fire a bad employee, then "when they're ready" is the correct metric to use.
I feel like investing in market pathologies has become too common and modern democratic governments are far too slow at doing there roles and curbing such behaviour.

Bitcoin is the obvious example of something that should have been banned years ago (and all proof of work crypto), but there are so many examples coming up daily, if there was ever any faith in institutions it's eroding quickly, and once you remove that you accelerate the pathologies (people start acting like anything goes) and society starts to destabilise.
I think there should be initial round with HR just to see that you aren't out right lying on your application and/or CV. Then you should have at home coding exam (still time limited to an hour or two) and if your code looks good then there should be the final interview with the team/manager where you are going to work.

EDIT: now that I think about it there probably needs to be one more where you can negotiate the sallary and benefits and actually sign the contract.
Yeah it could be a lazy way for an interviewer to check a requirements box that says ".NET Core 3.1 experience". But there is a chance that this is a way to determine whether any upcoming questions are relevant - like if you haven't used .NET Core 3.x, it's probably pointless to ask a question relating to some feature introduced in C# 8.0.

It's a contrived example of course (particularly if the end goal was just to check the "knows feature X from C# 8" box!) and I wasn't at those interviews so I've no way to know what their intent was. I'm occasionally on the other side of the interviewing table though so I'm just trying to reason through why this might come up. FWIW I hate the "what isn't in a linux inode" type questions, or situations designed to fuck with the interviewees.
Jigsaw identification literally isn't a charge in law, he was in conempt of court. It's not that jigsaw identification isn't a term that exists, it's that, as with all gish galloping you've taken some random item and gone off on a weird tangent. The judgement says he posted the accuser's job and the time she held it which was uniquely identifiable information "tantamount to naming the accuser". That doesn't sound like a very complex jigsaw to me. You also don't need to peice things together because his readers also posted the names of the accusers in the comments section of the article. Making it pretty difficult to argue he didn't know he was identifying the accusers. What also makes it pretty difficult to argue he didn't know he was identifying the women is that he said he wanted to identify the women without breaking the court order - which is literally impossible, because that's what the court order said.

So all this "Oh this is a unique situation never happened before since..." is completely irrelevant - which is why it's gish galloping- throwing up irrelevant rubbish to try and distract from the really quite simple facts of the case.
