I do not know, but let's give the credit to the educational system and country of origin too , I see a lot of people give credit to US or SV for shit that is bought by the giants.

Or I see arguments like "why there is any non US company for X ?" and the implication is that SV is the best where in fact SV has the money to buy anything that is promising and sometimes kill it but sometimes like in DeepMind case managed it good enough ot to waste it.

Surely it's a little more specific than that? I'm used to winning in high-stakes standardized tests (which may explain why I'm favorably disposed to them), and in employers' assessments of my performance (and willingness to rehire me), but I'm used to losing in tech interviews.
No! Why do you think people are going to pay $80M for Genius if it's worth $1M?

Companies rarely sell for less than the total amount raised. This is true. It doesn't mean that buyers regularly pay double for something because the company wouldn't otherwise sell. It means the buyers just don't buy it!

If Genius was really only worth $1M - we probably wouldn't ever hear about it - because they probably wouldn't ever sell it for that price.
"[Jurassic Park] convinced a generation of casual moviegoers that they understood the risks of genetic engineering to be severe and untamable...."

That is cool! It definitely wasn't codefund, but it's so great to see more people create an alternative network that is privacy and user experience focused.

The main focus of this ad server was that it was selling impressions more than conversions, it had a focus on being more like a newspaper where you buy eyes on your ad vs looking at the conversion of clicks.

Yes, the common impression back in the day was that the Theranos folks were quite literally delusional and deeply in denial about the technically insurmountable challenges wrt. what they were trying to do. It was a recurring take here at HN too. Disappointing that this NYT article would be trying to rewrite history.
Nothing to add, except I unironically love seeing this written on Hacker News on a story about a YC company.

Genius should've stayed a bootstrapped side project, but the founders got swept up in VC culture via YC and convinced themselves they were making a world-changing product. https://genius.com/Tom-lehman-how-rap-genius-raised-s18m-in-...

Good idea to bring Rust into the table, async is also not fully backed and there are several use cases that will only be taken care in years to come, if at all.

So another good example of what happens when things aren't baked on 1.0 release.

If Go did not had UNIX/Plan 9 key persons and Google money attached to it, or killer projects like Docker and Kubernetes, it would have fizzled away.

In the months before I was vaccinated I had on two or three occasions something that felt a bit different from the usual cold/flu/allergies that I get, but was not severe enough to justify trying to get a COVID test. I'm curious if I actually have had COVID or not.

Yeah it's a tricky one isn't it? On one hand many of the best security researches are ex-state employees, and many of them go from that into the private sector. On the other hand it makes it sound like they are friendly with potential adversaries.
I'm really curious to see the winning business model for apps like this. Everyone is used to free web apps. No one wants to pay. And people have become more and more worried about ads (many people block them).

This can be stated more generically by saying, that in the past it was possible to tell what a line of code does in Java. This is what you pay for when you bear costs of strong typing -- being able to say what is that thing holding.

But that very important valuable feature was squandered over time with the biggest offender being Spring.

Forums had all the same rules and rule enforcements for moderation. (Agree to the community rules, agree to the community terms of service, verify your email account, for the first few hours/days of your account you see only a curated subsection of the forums, etc.) It's a lot of the complexity in forum software that accumulated over time because it wasn't handled by "third party bots" and instead had to be baked into the forum app itself, which lead in part to why forum software is so hard to build/run/host because for a good, well moderated forum you need all of those moderation tools and generally can't just bolt them on with a "Forum Bot" from someone who isn't the forum software's author.

Of course the US are powerful, and in fact pretty much control Australia, which is indeed a small country. Australia is getting a bit ahead of itself if they think they are a match for China. I think Australia would be foolish to believe that being best bud with the playground's biggest bully means that they can freely do as they please and that it is useless for them to remain civil to others.

I mean, if you want to relegate CS to only mean theoretical CS, then you’d be in a small population: most theorists don’t want that, even. One of the cool things about CS is the rich interplay between applications and theory, and separating the two would only harm both.

Yes I definitely think the weird scrolling experience in threads is a huge issue for me. I am often in the thread and just have no intuitive feeling where I am. I return to a previous comment and then I don't remember where I was because instinctively on those kinds of linear threads I expect to be able to use the scrollbar to gauge it. I just haven't been able to adjust in any way to this kind of infinite scrolling + weird timeline pseudo-scrollbar way of working. It is weird because every single weird modern UI has eventually clicked with me in some way, but in this case it just hasn't and I've basically totally given up on it

The Surefire Way to Write Content That Cuts Through the Noise
I’m happy to see this company go out of business (yes, an $80M sale so VC bros can have a tax write-off is effectively going out of business).

For anyone who had the pleasure of working with these fckers, you have to be smiling today.

There’s not a single interaction with this company that I had that was good. They were arrogant. They were insulting. They were condescending. Not just to me, but to everyone in my company that worked with them. More than once I had to listen to one of their founders yell at me on the phone (this was the founder who boasted about stealing from Whole Foods).

Their account was the one account that got passed around like a hot potato. Nobody wanted to work with these a*holes.

If anyone else had experiences like this with the Genius crew, feel free to share.

Good riddance!
blessings upon you sir for making this
I think it's worth pointing out that those threats of legislation are what led to the ESRB, which was created to show the industry could self-regulate without government intervention. While that system is outdated for modern game design it served it's purpose. These calls for regulation are leading down the same road. They tell companies ike Facebook, "This is problem, solve it before we're forced to."

So they’re going to use this to stop people spreading harmful misinformation, like, say, the conspiracy theory that governments would create vaccine passports, or that a virology lab in Wuhan might have been involved in a virus that came out of Wuhan.

Why Can’t Two Women Have a Baby?
I feel for mods, having moderated digital stuff for decades.

But this seems like a problem of your own making.

If users keep doing the same thing over and over, then the problem probably isn’t the users but the forum.

I think this is because discord was designed for deep users and groups of friends who had lots of preexisting context as well as a desire to be part of something longstanding.

Support forums are for people with no context and don’t want to join anything, they just need help. So making someone join a server, with specific rules they don’t give a shit about results in these problems.

There needs to be a “read only” mode that lets me read a server and explore without joining. This is a strength of forums, mailing list archives, and even IRC.

Mods complaining about modding hard stuff because they set it up to be hard doesn’t warrant much empathy from me.
Well, i'd assume that only a smaller part of the computer using part of humanity knows what a VPN is. Since they are offering a service out of ideolical reasons, with competitors that advertise agressively, a low revenue/profit is totally fine with me. Enough to keep the lights on and build reserves. Citizens of rich countries can be contended with what they have, which is a lot if you look at the other 90% of humanity. Even if, you are "poor" by your counties standard can still feel rich, content and happy.
As a middle ground I'd at least love to see some way to expose Discord's pinned messages to the web for anonymous viewing. It seems like they're acting as the de facto "forum post" of yore.
What's scary about it? It's quite mundane/matter of fact
sorry when i say they dont collect emails, i mean they don't collect your email address. they don't know your email when you use their service. your "username" is just a random string of numbers. there is no email. there is no password. i dont know anything about how they store their personal email stuff. since they don't have my email address and i've never needed to send them an email, i'm not particularly worried about it.

i should have been more clear though (and i updated my original comment to reflect this)

> $300k/yr (in the US) is near trivial to make annually as a consultant, $400k/yr is where most capable software engineers should be, and yet few get there for reasons I attribute to lack of self confidence

It's not "near trivial" if few get there.

I've done consulting myself and I've networked with a lot of consultants. I see a lot of people moving back to full-time jobs because they pay more for less stress a lot of the time. Some people thrive in consulting positions, but many quickly realize that normal jobs are a pretty sweet deal in 2021.

A lot of consultants like to point to their high water mark compensation and imply that it's their normal rate. In reality, consulting work can be extremely hit or miss. Making $300K one year doesn't mean you're going to make $300K every year.

Consulting can be a good fit for people who have strong diplomatic, communication, self-marketing, and business skills, but it's not an easy button $300K/year job for someone who just likes to write code.

> My wife (and many women) has felt that the only way to effect change in our gun laws would be for white men to feel like targets.

That's literally a joke. I heard it on a Dave Chappelle special.

IIRC, actual gun rights groups like the NRA want black people and women to buy guns, because they're about gun rights and realize they're better secured if their constituency is larger.
>No reason to not let them suffer from their erroneous assumptions though.

Why not? If we were talking about a tech company, would you feel the same way?
> the correct answer is my answer. Even if yours also works, it is not my answer.

That right there is probably what's actually wrong with the tech hiring. And that's why Leetcode, despite the disconnect of it from the real job, is actually better in my experience than free-flowing conversations "to gauge experience". There are only so many working answers to a leetcode challenge (p99 is less than 3) and yet there is an infinite space of things you can say in a conversation that will instantly bar you from passing the interview. And what's even worse, you can say the opposite things to 2 different interviewers at the same company and they will both disqualify you.
Or maybe it's you who should try training a couple of image classification models. I'm sure I've trained far more than most people who are blazé about this.

Just curious if you know any psychologists that fit into this category? I know a handful pretty well and all specialize in areas they have direct experience with. They also 'experience' their clients pain, similar to a masseuse. Perhaps it's like being a developer without hands on experience with css, networking, or virtualization etc... You can still be a really good developer, but you probably can't say you're great at it or be a worthwhile resource for teaching others.

Yes, because algorithmic curation is the only form of content discovery...
Yeah I wonder how this will work long-term. I haven't heard of an ecosystem where they successfully avoided packages. Eventually you need some way of pulling in code that's versioned and has versioned dependencies of its own. Otherwise you end up with implicit versions or rolling your own everything, both of which are less than ideal and not necessarily better than packages. Deno could keep adding stuff to its standard library but I doubt even the largest stdlib could fit all users' needs.

If N is sufficiently (polynomially) large, the two are approximately equal.

A prison doesn't have to be private to have a profit motive. Many prisons are built to provide jobs (corrections officers, admin, services) in their localities.

It is totally consistent with SHORT-TERM reason

The west is focused on quarterly profits (you get what you measure). China is focused on global domination.

While the west thinks that they are exploiting cheap Chinese labor and shipping, the CCP is exploiting they west's myopic focus on short-term profits.

So while the west "wins" for a few years by under-paying poor Chinese workers, China wins over decades and centuries by ensuring they extract maximum intellectual property and manufacturing know-how, and corner key markets, to the level that the supply chain is now a key military threat.

This will be recorded as a strategic blunder of historic proportions.
