I know this is just semantics but I actually like 'technocratic autocracy' better than any sort of oligopoly to describe China. There are no other poles of power, the army even reports directly to the party rather than the government. And, so far, they've been quite dynamic on the technocratic front, people get fired for incompetence despite having a political base.
You are leaking all the generated video thanks to consecutive ids. However it allowed me to browse through what was generated and it make for a stronger sales pitch / give a better idea of how this can be used. The internet marketing for law firm video pitch work well, and if you could customise the content of the video (like dashboard url) they will be even more powerful.

What is less clear from your website, is are you just handling the generation of the video, or their distribution also? Is there any integration with ad platform? Could I just send you an excel spreadsheet with video variable and a target email in the column?
Great article! Thanks for sharing. This is potentially a great introduction to football for people who doesn't care about football (like USians)
I think it’s safe to assume any highly evolved alien species will have moral constructs that support self-preservation.

Whether those morals extend to preserving other intelligent life forms (I.e. humans) seems unlikely since the prosperity of other life forms will inevitably lead to more competition for scarce resources.

The fact that human moral constructs apply to other intelligent species seems to be a bug that arises solely from the fact that we’re currently capable of out competing all other intelligent species.

Not as much as an animal, but we are learning that plants are far more sophisticated than we've traditionally given them credit for, and do have ways to detect damage (which we call "pain" in animals) and can even alert other plants to danger (which could be called "fear")

I hate this. People have IDEs and internet when working. Having to write something that can be compiled in a doc is just stupid.

As someone mentioned in another comment, I also never had to actually implement a sort since I left university more than a decade ago. I'm happy to discuss the different types and approaches to how they could be done - as to evaluate problem solving, logic, and general understanding - but to actually code in an interview...

In a similar way, this week I even jokes on Twitter how I'm doing many improvements and refactors on a codebase, but there's the occasional 'how I do join 2 lists on Java again?' moment when I completely forget something basic.
I really hope that the pandemic finally makes us realize that the 9-5, 40 hours/week office culture we have set up over the decades is a total sham. Very few people are really working that much, but it isn't socially acceptable for anyone to admit it.

Agreed that the hour invested may not be worth it for a large percentage of people (again I got lucky, I would feel so differently if I was rejected after 7 interviews).

Google's point is just that they prefer to avoid false positives at the cost of (potentially) a lot of false negatives. The current interview process is probably some local optimum;

I haven't worked at a company yet that is actually good at interviewing. Where good is optimized over high recall and accuracy and a small time investment.

I know that Google does have one big advantage, in that a good percentage of people that get the offer end up accepting. That (unfortunately) gives Google a lot more leeway and possibly less incentive to further optimize the interview process. Software engineers are in high demand, but also Google is in high demand among software engineers.

At my previous job, trying to find a candidate for a role essentially involved lowering the bar until somebody was no longer in demand, since we weren't "in demand".
You're missing the point which is that vendors are making the products they think people will buy.

Vendors aren't arbitrarily setting "trends", they aren't inventing things in a vacuum.

They literally do market research, interview consumers, figure out what people want, and then try to give that to them.

Of course any single individual doesn't always get exactly what they want (the pair of pants, the phone but with a headphone jack), but collectively we do trend strongly towards that. Manufacturers aren't perfect, they don't always get it maximally correct, but they're generally trying their best, because, you know, competition.

Also, the workers who load your cart at Costco seem to be trained to pack it for easier/faster scanability by the exit-check people. Plus IIRC the receipts split anything they leave on the bottom rack of the cart into a separate section. Neither of those things happen with self-checkout, I suppose (I've not used the self-checkout yet, because the regular checkout is so fast at Costco and they're well-staffed enough that I haven't wanted to)
I hate fake personalised content, whether it’s text or video is immaterial. The same is true of many of the people I work with… that said, these sort of products mostly stay within the sales world where gaming people is entirely acceptable and arguably encouraged. Therefore, while I hate this and I’m sure many others here will too, I recognise its genius and expect to see it become very successful because the execution is great. Good luck (but stay away from my inbox!)

Instead of using recurse(), you can also define a function in jq and call that one recursively. E.g., the example from the OP could also be written as:

def my_func:
del(.children),
(.children[] | my_func)
;
[my_func]

(The function first emits its input object without the "children" field, then emits each element of the "children" array separately, after passing each through a recursive call of the function.

The ; char ends the function definition.

Finally, the function is called once on the top-level input and all emitted results are collected into an array.)

This is more verbose than recurse() but may sometimes be easier to understand if you want to know what is going on.

Also PBS has a great kids games app(s) that are free with games that are fun / no ads.

And PBS kids video app is again free, great content, no ads.

If you're in the US and care about that content, I suggest contributing to your local station. The quality of the content from kids to adult is outstanding. It's not usual for me to browse a few streaming services and just end up watching PBS's content in the end.

Maybe when it comes to the article they mean more accessible? But I'm not sure as they seem to ignore the PBS content available.

By sheer coincidence, I was reading Graham Hancock's "Magicians of the Gods" right before logging into HN.

His thesis is that there was an advanced civilization - "Atlantis" - that was wiped out by a comet impact around 10,000 BC.

I honestly don't know what to make of this book. It has rigorous research and several references and citations about the younger dryas impact hypothesis. He brings in multiple folk tales, tribal origin stories and mythologies that suggest that the comet impact and the subsequent flooding are recorded in oral traditions.

Then he goes off into the deep end with History Channel's ancient aliens style conjectures about the Pyramids of Giza and various references to "the seven sages" who bring advanced knowledge from Atlantis to reboot civilization post comet-impact.

It's totally entertaining in the same way that watching serious people talk about crazy UFO stories is interesting. And like any conspiracy theory, there is enough room to have fun thinking about how much truth could really be lurking underneath it all.

Pure fun, if you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time.
I did similar thing of sorts with a all in one air fryer though I went to a manned cashier with it and a few other items. I realized once I got home the cashier didn't charge me for the air fryer.

> This article is more than your classic "the CCP is just making moves to solidify it's own power."

"And so, in classic CCP fashion, it was time to smash."

It's your standard state propaganda.

At least he attempts to cover his bases: "China’s leaders famously want to prevent the emergence of alternative centers of power, but is the West so different in this regard?"

"For those outside China’s byzantine, opaque nexus of party, government, and big business, it’s very difficult to figure out what’s going on." I guess Noah Smith is in the inside so he knows his stuff?

It's your standard "CCP bad because CCP is friends with iran due to BRI" propaganda you find all over traditional and social media.

The real question is who is noah smith and why was his article spammed on hn? That would be an interesting article.
Not all younger developers have to jump through those hoops. There are plenty of companies that don't do that kind of nonsense, because they're trying to hire good engineers, rather than, specifically, engineers -- good or bad, that'll get sorted out later -- who will happily sacrifice their spare time to figure out how to jump through the arbitrary hoops that their jobs entail.

Holding this kind of bullshit interview isn't a bad idea if you're a megacorp with chaotic teams and fourteen levels of management hierarchy where people spend most of their time on infighting and career building. You need people who jump through hoops, because successfully delivering most projects in these environments is 10% difficult technical work (which the good engineers can handle, and you can typically hire enough of them via recommendations), 40% YAML-poking bullshit work, and -- optimistically -- 50% jumping through all sorts of technical and non-technical hoops, most of them self-inflicted.

I navigated this kind of process successfully early in my career, and the only thing that made me more miserable than interviews like these was the work I got to do afterwards, after accepting the offers. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is probably just how these things are -- I'm now pretty convinced that the quality of the interview is (barring statistical accidents) highly correlated with the quality of the actual position.
The title of the page conveys more information, albeit in more words:

Given the enormous cost of the Olympic games, it's really pathetic that gold medals are just gold plated.

The Olympic organizers are trigger happy/lightning quick to blame athletes for cheating but think nothing about cheating themselves on the cost of the medals. OK, the medals would cost considerably more if solid gold but their total cost would pale in comparison to the overall cost of the games.

That really does leave a bad taste.
Sooooo... what is this? What would I use it for?
We are indeed seeing these topics from two very different perspectives. I applaud your efforts; it sounds like you're building a nice project for [power users]. Brave is built for all users, however. As such, asking users to opt-in to security is, IMHO, a bad idea.

> "…you lose the right to call yourself a privacy-respecting product…"

I obviously disagree here. The problem is not _requests_, but rather the nature of the requests. You can certainly choose to not make any requests, but I feel doing so puts your users at considerably higher risk. I'd be curious how consistent you can be with this too; does your operating system and router also issue no requests on their own? Are users supposed to be capable of tracking security threats on those fronts too, as well as locate and install updates?

> "It is also not that much of a debate whether IP address is PII. It is."

It can be. I don't think this is a legal question, but rather an engineering one. You and I both know that this space is complicated by networks, NAT routers, and more.

> "Brave client sends data to Brave servers and that we can not tell for sure what is being done with this data"

What data? I understand that you have limited visibility into the server-side of things, but you can see clearly what data is being sent to Brave's services to begin with. What sorts of concerns do you have with what is being transmitted today?

> [Re: security lists] "Plus browsing the web is the responsibility of the user."

This is where we diverge even more. It sounds as though you're targeting super users who are very technical, and comfortable with monitoring threats, applying patches, etc. That expectation works for niche software, but not for software intended for _all users_. Brave absolutely should protect users from known threats. As we saw this past week, malicious ads on Google's search engine results were sending users to malware sites. Fortunately, we were able to get those URLs added to the SafeBrowsing service, and protect users of Brave, Chrome, Edge, and more.

> "Orion does not even set a default search engine - otherwise the moment you start typing into address bar you would be leaking information (including IP address) to the search engine provider for suggestions."

You don't have to perform live lookups. Brave doesn't send keystrokes for this very reason; users have to opt-in to that. Firefox defers sending keystrokes until 2 characters have been input. Most others just send the keystrokes (or pasted content) behind the scenes—not cool.

> "Privacy is a serious matter, so let's treat it seriously."

Expecting your users to opt-in to basic privacy features suggests privacy takes a backseat, IMHO. But then again, we may be targeting very different demographics with our software. It sounds like you're targeting power users who are okay with elevated risk. We're building Brave for everybody.
I mean I guess that's the peril of using an automated update service.

Sure did. Would do it again, too.

Living for others, at the end of the day, is vastly better than living for yourself.
The way I read it is that "communication ability" is something people can use to justify racist hiring decisions. For example, labeling non-white speaking patterns as "unprofessional", or non-American accents as "poor communication skills".

When in fact, these candidates may have excellent communication skills, and in a blind interview situation the same interviewer might praise their writing abilities.

But you don't really know, because the interviewer is rating communication skills in a scenario that can easily bring out a lot of hidden biases.
