In this situation, the hypothetical 500 were on the short list from tens of thousands of applications and some intermediate number of first round interviews. This was the 'short list' and we could have likely hired any one of them successfully.

We didn't do the 'hand them a project for a day' btw, we met them in person and had them go through a half day of panel interviews. Still something that ideally they would have been compensated for beyond food and our gratitude.

I'm on the side of paying candidates that go through any substantial interview effort, I just think that the regulatory details are going to select for folks that are less privacy-focused and are already established in the domestic economic infrastructure. I used to work in a bug bounty program where we paid out to researchers all over the world and the logistics of it was a pretty major issue (and resulted in a non-negligible portion of the submitters forfeiting their payment).

DuckDuckGo does something similar: they run a paid test project as part of their hiring process.
Yes my point was that docker on Mac is just VMs and they could simply do the same on freeBSD
The form of payment doesn’t matter from a regulatory perspective. As soon as you hit reporting thresholds, you and the interviewee need to report.

So please don’t do this as a way to bypass regulatory requirements. It puts your prospective employees in a bad spot.
Super interested in these.

In Germany and Austria you get compensated for your time incarcerated if found innocent. So as to basically "fine" the government for not having speedy trials.
This article is hilarious. It's all about the march of 9's. Saying they're 99% done means they've only just begun.

Also it doesn't account for their model which requires paying engineers and installing tens of thousands of dollars in every vehicle to make it work. And the fact that they need pre established HD maps to do anything.
I'm probably overlooking it, but does this support dyndns, aka dyn.com, aka Oracle dyndns? I couldn't find that it does.
> This seems like a related question: what is the high-level process for building a JIT compiler? Specifically, where does the output of the compiler actually get stored, how does it get marked as executable, and how does it get "fed" into program execution?

There are a whole bunch of ways to do this, but a common one is to map a region as writable, build your JITted machine code into it, flip write and execute, and point your program counter at it. Typically the part that does the last part also sets up the return handling for when the JITted segment is finished.

If you're JITting entire functions at a time, you could instead use the dynamic symbol functionality that most OSes provide: build up your machine code (or other representation), convert it into an object file, load it in, and grab the function by its name.
I don't think they provide funds directly in the US, but often you can get tax breaks and incentives from federal and state governments. This often applies to annual taxes as well as money used to restore the property.
Presumably it also means the "consultant" (interviewee) takes on liability?
Why is this comment at the top of the thread? [Sure, go ahead and bury me]

It is only slightly related to the original article, the rant is just an opinion with no value than to instill anti-gov discourse.

Is this what we say to the thousands of Americans who served and lost their lives over 20 years? To the sacrifices of their families to help Taliban oppressed girls/citizens crying for help?

HN needs a dose of honesty. I come here for its value: the insights of the comments, but recently I find myself logging out and contributing less and less due to the quality decline. I get it, it is the pandemic and everyone needs a safe place to rant/express themselves- even Reddit's toxicity was given a refuge here.

Hide in your pseudonyms and rant all you want, after all unlike the Afghans, you take for granted your freedom of speech. Hype crypto and anti-gov sentiment to gain from your pump and dumps, support cybercriminals (for all we know, you might be one of them)

Great, it was done with interns with good results. Now, was this applied to working professionals? Why is the blog post not describing how it worked out? All you can say at this point is that it seemed to have helped to hire interns.
I think compromises will need to be made, and those who can’t use an EV should pay for their combustion emissions if EVs don’t meet their needs. EVs should, in my opinion, meet most use cases eventually (and meet the majority today) except for edges where energy density or charging speed for EVs falls short.
I got a good deal on a used x230 ($140) with a docking station and charger on craigslist. But I had to wait like half a year before I saw one I thought was a good deal, and drive an hour to get it Luckily I was able to combine it with another trip in the same direction. This one is a backup for a second x230 I've had a long time, at least 8 years. I've replaced keys and recently the lcd plus of course batteries as well as memory and ssd upgrades. I think the best strategy is to pick a Thinkpad you like and then just stockpile used laptops and parts when you see good deal. I just use automated alerts from ebay and craigslist. That way you might be willing to try some tricky mod if you are not going to break your main machine.

We do take home projects instead of whiteboard challenges. Grading the take home takes me longer than doing a whiteboard interview.
I think this is a stronger argument that we should have more entry-level contractor gigs available with a route toward full-time employment. Because they're easier to fire, contractor positions allow more risk-taking in the hiring process and this increases candidate diversity - true background diversity, not what you see with category-based quota systems. A company will be more likely to hire a person without a pedigree into a contractor role, and once hired they have an opportunity to showcase their aptitude.

Interviews are expensive in terms of employee time. Paying a candidate for their time as well wouldn't be the most expensive part of the process, but in general increasing the cost of an interview will serve to decrease the breadth of the process. Companies will probably start to become sensitive to people they perceive as profiting from the interview process and restrict access accordingly. I think this would be ultimately detrimental to the goal of scouting new talent.

Do you remember the days when Linux became a thing back in the 90s? From an average user's p.o.v. the experience was probably disappointing compared to the leading OS at the time (MS Windows). But enthusiasts persisted and now Linux is a world-class OS.

The same thing could happen with Linux on mobile. The Pinephone Beta is targeted at developers. However, it's only $200 so you could buy one if you want to support the community.
I'm in the US, suburbs of a large city, and I have very good insurance. I waited 4 hours in the emergency room after getting rushed there in an ambulance for chest pain. After an initial EKG, which showed abnormalities, they just left for 4 hours before doing blood work that would definitively determine if it was a heart attack. Then they woke me up at 3:00am to tell me it wasn't a heart attack. They discharged me the next day with no referral, no follow-up plans, didn't even do an echo cardiogram. They did do a 15 minute stress test but had to stop after 7 minutes because my heart rate went too high, and yet still discharged me. But I did hear someone talking about how they really wanted to push everyone out that day since it was a Friday and didn't want to have to deal with a bunch of patients in the weekend.

On my own accord I went to a cardiologist who immediately did an echo and found a very serious problem.

Maybe places in the EU don't have great healthcare, but that's not much different than the US except that in the US you can still go bankrupt paying for bad healthcare, even if you have insurance.

We could do with some strict rules on foreign ownership here in the US. Seems questionable when all the housing in a neighborhood is owned by Chinese investment firms.
The SBX is perhaps the most sophisticated long-range radar the United States possesses, and testing has cast doubt on whether it can even reliably detect missiles, the application it was built for. It's pretty much still considered in testing and not an operational piece of equipment despite being 15 years old.

Long-range radar is a really hard problem, the working models are so expensive than the USAF and FAA struggle to afford to install them, and the military has a long history of being, uh, optimistic about the capabilities of their radar equipment when talking to the public. Saying they can detect a softball over the horizon and then failing to detect a widebody jet at seven yards is pretty much the history of the Missile Defense Agency in a nutshell.

For air space surveillance purposes, the FAA and USAF share their radar network, because neither can really afford to have their own. The radars are bespoke, mostly built by Raytheon, and replaced very infrequently (many are hitting 30 years old) due to the high cost. They struggle with detecting light aircraft and anything below 15k feet or so, which is why we need to use secondary radar for ATC purposes. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this is basically the only general airspace surveillance measure in the US short of getting a fighter in the air to use its targeting radar.
Really depends on the domain and the engine. OpenAI code generation is staggering (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGUCcjHTmGY&t=1214s), its summarization and classification is still very much a work in progress.
HOAs are different, and not trying to protect any historical anything.

> Something like half the Tesla fleet in ths US are vision only in the US now, and... the cars see stuff just fine. We're not having detection failures. It works.

You and I have extremely different experiences with Teslas. About the only place I could conceive arguing it works is highways and even then I wouldn't trust riding one down the highway without a steering wheel. Hell, my coworker can't even call his out of the driveway because it has been thinking his mailbox is a car for the last 6 months.

I think we'll get there and I don't think it'll matter if it's with LIDAR or pure vision but we're certainly not close to being able to remove the steering wheel (regulation aside).
The scariest part is how quickly policing agencies are to embrace this tech as well but the government as a whole is slow to change anything else. Why is it that the state can be proactive about jailing me but not as much when it comes to quickly resolving cases and protecting my rights?
It's a ways down a private road so it would certainly cost a lot. For now, it's just a vacation/summer place. It means I can't really work remotely from there unless I can mostly work offline (which I can't really in general) but I'm fine without things like streaming.
Being willing to break the law doesn't mean you're against due process. Due process is what happens afterwards, that safeguards you from being punished for doing something you have not done.
What is your source? I see lots of anecdotes about Tesla service problems which doesn't seem like more value. I believe Tesla in general has a fairly dismal quality rating, but IIRC they don't allow participation in stuff like JD Power surveys.

Tesla's Model S has a range of over 400 miles and it can recharge 180 miles in about 15 minutes. So this is mostly a solved problem, all that is left is pushing these specs down to more economical models. I would be surprised if in say 3 years we do not see comparable specs in Tesla's baseline models. Everybody else will lag a few more years, but they will get there as well.
We're not having detection failures.

Then what do you call them hitting stationary things regularly?
I think it would be useful to take a step back first and look at the bigger picture. Looking at most jobs in general you will find they have wildly differing salaries between different geographical regions worldwide. A shop clerk here will bring home a different salary from a shop clerk there. The fact that there's a chance to compete for a job offer globally is a perk that nearly no other industry offers. With that in mind, it isn't very useful trying to contextualize salaries and compare your income to salaries at hyperscalers, or more broadly to salaries in the US. Both of those groups are supreme outliers not only in their industry, but in the job market globally. Most salaries (although not all) are based on your geographic location and are in very broad strokes cost of life times some modifier depending on your profession.

With all of that in mind, some advice from someone who has emigrated abroad for reasons similar to yours. Firstly, the fact that you're currently employed and gaining experience is great — you're already considerably ahead of everyone else trying to break into the market. Take the opportunity and suck in every bit of knowledge you can. From my personal and very subjective experience, having junior developers on-site is valuable for exactly that reason: knowledge transfer. Remote work works when people already know how to do their job, teaching someone over the net is a whole different ballpark altogether. While you might not agree, I invite you to think back and ponder on this point a few years down the line when you've had the chance to coach people with little experience yourself.

As for the meat of your question, how do you land a better paying job, I think the most straightforward path is pretty clear: use your current employment to make yourself more valuable as a knowledge worker. See what your superiors do, ask them if they can teach you to do those things. Take courses or trainings when they're on offer. Etc. Then find better opportunities either locally or globally. Do apply to jobs even if you don't tick all or most of the boxes, getting experience in interviews and navigating the corporate world is also very valuable. As a word of warning, while there are companies that do fully global remote with remote first, those are very, very rare. In most cases, you are expected to hold a visa or a working permit or be sponsored/vetted by the company and then emigrate. Emigration is hard, but it is doable. Beware of finances, if you're emigrating into a country that's considerably more expensive you may end up saving money for a long time to get a shot or two abroad — make them count. Best of luck.
> Most people travel on busy travel days. So this could be a problem if I’m going to the beach on a Saturday.

In my experience, I've only had to wait to charge once. There are generally more than enough chargers for weekends. It's holidays you have to watch out for.

> Now I arrive at the beach house and I either can only slow charge or need to find a charger.

24 hours of charging will fill up most EV to 100%. Most EV owners would say "Yeah, slow charge at the beach house, why look for a fast charger?". You probably aren't doing anything at night and even if that's the only time you slow charge, 16 hours would give you a pretty decent chunk of range.
> Why is a car that big?

Because it's a light truck. Useful for towing and moving material. Unfortunately used by many as a commuting vehicle.
Just have two phones. Problem solved. Drive a vehicle without onstar or cellular connection.
Cmon. There's a video of a Tesla FSD driving on the wrong side of the road, cutting off a car it did not see at an intersection, then accelerating straight into a fence, all in the space of five minutes in Oakland. Tesla has by no means solved the vision problem. Their software is laughably bad.

My company, tremendous.com, does this, including the tax form collection process if spend exceeds $600 / person. Our primary use case is user research incentives, but interview incentives is an analogous problem.

Basically no strings attached for both sides. We do complete a compliance review for businesses signing up for our site (given we're a payments company), but it's basically invisible at smaller volumes.
I've looked at the specifics of some of the tax breaks (roughly: no taxes on the increased value of the property for some number of years), but they mostly seem oriented towards speculators or commercial, rather than residental.

The primary impediment to residential renovation is typically cash on hand to initiate the project.

Which, if true, seems like something like providing a loan facility, borrowed against the future tax credit, maybe with the tax credit packaged for resale on the open market to offset the cost?

Presumably nobody (the homeowner, the neighborhood, the city) wants a house that's falling apart to stay that way.

This article is disappointingly shallow. Maybe it worked for Algora, but it doesn’t mean it would scale well across the industry. Then there’s the problem with undesirable secondary effects as other comments on this thread have mentioned.

I’ve done hiring before and the fact that the cost of considering a candidate is relatively low both in terms of cost and time, meant that I could consider candidates with non-traditional backgrounds. A resume and job application only tell you so much. If I was on the fence about someone it was easy to jump on a call for an hour with them to get more data. Sure the signal you can get from an hour long interview isn’t great, but it’s something.

If there was a higher cost associated with bringing a candidate in (more than the wage, I’d be worried about the paperwork involved), employers might start relying even more on signals like alma mater status, current employer pedigree etc. as first pass filter before bringing someone in.
