You are correct. I did misunderstand that portion of it but that doesn't change the fact that Apple is willing to pay $100k for a bounty like that but no one else does and Apple's actions don't suggest at all that they won't pay out the bounty. If you've ever been part of a program like this, on the developer side, it's possible that they discovered a larger bug that this was a part of or that someone else had already reported this bug. Tracking down the origin of this and the tickets involved takes time and fixing the bug is always the priority. They haven't acknowledged that he's the originator of the report so his insistence that he be credited immediately is a big immature and premature.

There's nothing here that suggests Zerodium, or someone similar, would pay the same amount Apple is offering and there's nothing that suggests that Apple doesn't intend to pay this or credit him. That's all completely conjecture.
Who decides what’s non-critical? I’d prefer my news articles not be rewritten by the government for example. Catering security to the absolute lowest common denominator (“can’t set a clock”) is not a path to success.
The idea seems to be, instead of going through a recruiter or agency you raise funds from ex colleagues. If the firm hires you then they pay your ex colleagues where once they would pay the agency.

If they don't hire you I imagine the backers get nothing? Is this where the trouble lies?

Neither the article nor the tweets, nor the comments here seem to know the problem.

It’s not like we want to be authoritarians and control reproduction directly.

We can only incentivize via education, opportunity and availability of contraceptives.

India for example offers sterilization for men who want to avoid unintended impregnation of partners. They could even incentivize such a thing.

> If you and your direct team don't have to suffer the consequences of a bad hire, then of course you should refer random Blind/Reddit/LinkedIn strangers for a chance at getting several thousand dollars.

Several thousand dollars is trivial relative to the amount that professional recruiters charge. That's partially because employee referrals are, on average, less trustworthy than good professional recruiters for the reasons you mentioned: You get a small number of very good referrals, but you also get a large number of people playing the referral bonus like a numbers game and putting in every name they can think of.

But this startup had a different problem: They asked employees to pay to basically gamble on the hiring process. A hiring process which is largely out of their control. Most people don't want to gamble on things like this, and with good reason. It was doomed from the start.

I wonder how that breakdown works for under inflated and overinflated tires, and what percentage of the nations tires are in that state at any moment?

For a consumer product like this I think it's probably more important to compare the common case than the optimal case, because I know my tires often aren't in an optimal state, and as much as we could save as a nation by making sure tires were inflated correctly, we just don't, and I don't expect that to change meaningfully.
The transition to mobile computing devalued typing and greatly increased the attraction of icon grids.

There was some series of essays recently that I read (linked from HN maybe) that went into some details about the economic differences between search-based desktop computing and "juicy springboard of icons" mobile computing.
> When you are referring to this in regards to covid19, calling it horse dewormer is intentionally mispresenting an argument in an attempt to discount it.

"Nobel Prize winning medication" is similarly a misrepresentation in the context of COVID.

It's both a Nobel Prize winning medicine, and horse dewormer. It's also a human antiparisitic. None of these individually describe it completely, but there's one thing it's not currently - a proven COVID treatment.

Tech interviews are discouraging because they are so open-ended, especially on the tech-screen stage. Without knowing more about your circumstances here's what I found works for determining expectations:

- In the phone screen try to clarify that the tech-screen questions are in the domain of the role you're interviewing for. Good recruiters will be open with that information and should be up to date on their hiring procedures. Pressure them more if they remain vague, consider it a red flag if they don't budge.

- Get comfy with writing {B,D}FS algorithms, --not just that you know them-- write them out. Same with writing a tree/graph data structure. For some reason cycle-detection is a common question, be familiar with tortoise and hare algorithm as well as coding it up.

- Search on glassdoor to see if anyone drops any interview questions

- Search github to see if anyone uploaded a take-home if there is one

The hardest part about tech interviews is the rejection and moving on mentally.

Where I am now we have a pretty non-technical process but the caveat that compensation is a little lower (remote, US only), you can figure out how to DM me through my profile if you need something sooner than later.

I'm not paranoid about using sunscreen, but it seems pretty obvious to me that slathering chemicals all over my skin and baking in direct sunlight for an extended period of time should be avoided.

I've found that bringing a decent umbrella and wearing a big hat helps a ton, and just generally trying to stay in the shade. That and just reasonably limiting exposure alternating between swimming and relaxing in the shade.
I think it's sad whenever I see people that are very proud of just how tech illiterate they are and just how little they understand computers. It's like teenagers who brag about how badly they scored on on their exam. In many aspects it's the same exact situation, change for the better wouldn't require much work, and this sort of behaviour only discourages others from even trying.
> This seems like a failed opportunity for Walgreens to pilot some kind of "deposit" like gas pumps do. Walk into the Walgreens and run your card with a $75 deposit, or sign in with an ID, etc.

What a diverse set of interviewees
I have witnessed this with younger people joining the company I work at. Most of them don't seem to have much of an idea how a computer works, why putting the internet between them and their deadlines might be bad or just can't figure out where their files are. I have to do a lot of hand holding for the first few months anyway.
I don't think that's true anymore. For example, the Tesla Model 3 weighs anywhere from 3,552-4,072lbs depending on the trim level.[1] (The heaviest is the Model 3 Performance which has the biggest battery, motors, and wheels.) The BMW 3 series is 3,582-4,138lbs depending on the exact model and trim.[2]

Gas cars don't have big heavy batteries but they do have big heavy engine blocks and more complicated (heavier) drivetrains.

This is a good example of making the mistake of conflating implementation details and user interface design.

Firefox always had two boxes: URL bar and search. One of the big changes Chrome made when it was born was to have the Omnibar, being of course one bar that does both.

If you think about this as an engineer, Firefox's design decision makes sense. You don't want to accidentally leak things to a search engine. URLs and search bars are just different. There are also corner cases where you're not sure if something is a URL or a search term, mostly to do with intranets (eg "go/foo" can be a URL internally).

But users don't care about any of that. Users don't have the mental model to differentiate search terms and a URL. Chrome's decision was correct. It's surprising how long Firefox stuck with their bad (IMHO) design.

Here's another example of this: IIRC one of the most frequently searched terms on Google is "facebook". Tech-savvy people will just type "facebook.com" but users will just search for "facebook" and click on the (hopefully) first result. That happens a ton.

So the lesson is don't leak technical and implementation details into interface design. Your users don't care about any of that. Think like a user, not an engineer.
In real dollars we are currently at about the same price today as we had in late October 2014. The price was falling rapidly that month so the benchmark is the same in real or nominal dollars.
The solution I use is to allow later grades to replace earlier grades. This works best if you can assign each graded item to a specific "topic", so that you can say "your grade on each topic is the highest grade you receive throughout the quarter" or whatever. Then at the end, you calculate their final course grade from some combination of the topic grades. (The easiest way is just to set a pass/fail threshold for each topic and then base their final grade on the number of topics passed.) You can adjust the ratio of replacement to averaging so that you're not totally throwing out earlier results, if you want to do that.

I discovered this a few years ago playing Ultima IV on my Amiga 3000, which is 16Mhz. It was impossible to play (and funny to look at) because the game was so sped up. All of the NPCs in the game, which normally just stand in place and move their arms about, were moving so fast it was bananas. You could barely see their arms they were like hummingbirds.

The game was intended to be on a 7Mhz stock machine pre-1990. And it was perfectly timed to that speed.
I’m pretty sure ESBuild’s creator has agreed that Bun’s performance claims are probably correct, and that there’s still more room for optimization of/beyond both.
It's well documented that a lot of this money goes out of the country by transferring it to a 'mule' with a bank account in the UK, who think they are doing something innocuous. They transfer it to the scammers either via cryptocurrency (basically untraceable) or previously, via an international money transfer service such as Western Union. The latter is also pretty much untraceable. You can pick up money anywhere in the world from these services with some ID. They don't need your address or to really check you are who you say you are, they just want to make sure you have the same name as the one the sender referenced.

Unless the destination country, the destination Western Union office and the person who picked up the money are all willing and able to co-operate, law enforcement in the source country is pretty much stuck.
Well, kind of... Gitlab is another of those Freemium "open source" services where you have to pay to have the full functionality.

Umm...there is a very solid reason: support costs. Nobody wants to double the support matrix.
I don't think I have seen many mainstream acceptable discussions about the Covid response -- most were nothing but emotive monologues from this or that person, and two or three simultaneous monologues do not make an acceptable discussion.

Also, I don't think it would have been useful to talk about Covid response policy using figures like "X% chance of death!", since it sounds like a weather forecast and we can't even get those right one day in advance, let alone when determining policy for the entire year. And you can't conclude from absence of public discussion that these figures or expectations weren't discussed privately.

Yes, it would have been better for the policymakers to voice their reservations and motivations in public, but I'm not willing to blame the politicians for not doing that. In order to have a nuanced political discussion, all parties need to play ball. It is counterproductive for a politician to take a well-argued public position when the media only wants ten-second soundbites and actively looks ways to embarrass and undermine said politician, and when the public isn't remotely interested in a nuanced position because the tribe has already spoken.

To me, the Covid response in the West highlights a failure of democracy. That is not the same as a failure of politics, trying to pin all blame for the failure of democracy on the current politicians is just another symptom of the underlying problem. Instead, it is a failure of society at large. It seems we are no longer willing and/or capable to have an honest and open debate about matters of public policy, and that is a sad situation. I'm not even going to try and hint at the wide array of causes and consequences that led us to this point, just expressing dismay that I don't see the situation improving for the better any time soon.
Bad example. Choke lever was a control device that became unnecessary as technology made the relevant part of the process fully automatic, and it was completely incidental to the overall purpose of a car - to move people places.

Messing with URL and search is like messing with the steering wheel, or - in case of self-driving cars - with navigation input.

Hmmm. It took me a while to figure out that you weren't referring to sites for angling enthusiasts.
I am using ParcelJS v2 (nightly), and my builds are really fast for a medium-sized project. It takes about 5s from scratch (no-cache) and <500ms to update after a change.

Do I recommend Parcel? Not sure, it feels like every time I update the package something breaks (in their defense, it is still in Beta).
ECS might have a higher initial complexity overhead, but once you scale up, ECS can really help you keep complexity at bay.

Everything except organic local produce is either made of oil, need oil during production, or need oil for shipping. Hardly an isolated economic sector.

Edit: Even the organic local produce was probably brought to you on a gas-guzzling truck.
Crude oil futures were negative for a single day (if my memory serves me correctly) a little over a year ago. The holder of the contract at its expiration has to make arrangements to actually receive it -- you were getting paid to take oil that was very hard to move and very hard to do anything with at the height of the pandemic.

Obviously, the future where nearly all consumption stopped and everybody stayed in their house for the next 3-5 years didn't happen. The opposite did, and the pricing reflects that.

I lived in Japan for 8 years (not in Tokyo), and this sort of stuff was very rare and often newsworthy.

I imagine it does happen, but more often than not at urban school, at schools that are less academically oriented (e.g., construction high schools), and overall in lower socio-economic areas. The abusers are probably from abusive families.

If you’re in the burbs or the provincial parts of Japan, bullying at this extreme level is very unlikely to happen. The more common type of bullying is verbal abuse — still bad, but not like the examples you gave.

All that said, there is a form of hazing that is common in Japan that would probably be considered abusive, and that’s with high school baseball clubs. The new players on the team sometimes get boot camp-like treatment, and some folks (and sometimes coaches) take it too far. It’s theoretically all in fun and/or character building, and there are often checks and balances in place by the senior players, but I’ve heard some stories. That said, I don’t think that there are many baseball players who would not do it again.
I agree GitLab's CI has many edge cases. More importantly, it feels like they stopped making it better to focus on other stuff.

That said, GH actions is really new and full of imitations / weird stuff as well. I still think GL offers more bang for the buck in 2021.

Another option is using something external like Drone CI, Circle CI, etc... Some of those look nice, but I've never tested myself.
There was actually a moderate amount of worked obsidian produced in the British isles during the neolithic. The only major source I'm aware of for it was Arran. So-called Arran pitchstone is pretty ugly though. Not relevant to the objections, just a fun fact.
On the flip side, the rising cost of crude oil means more demand for alternatives (ie, electric) and investment in non-fossil fuel energy sources.
Yes to the 69. Son put on a 4bbl intake and it practically idles at 90 - scoots to 120 w/ room to spare.

The 63 has a 6cyl and it'll be on the road next month. He'll sell the 69 right after.

I pulled the 61 off the road for a few weeks while I find a slip yoke. Trans is kind of an oddball.
Presumably you don't park all of these cars at your residence. If so, I can imagine that factors into your difficulty in finding rentals.
Maybe the noise they generate is good for EVs which are dangerously quiet for pedestrians?
There are a lot of things that contribute to learned helplessness, but in my opinion one underrated cause (for computers) is lack of security.

Particularly with touchscreens, it's really easy to break settings or delete something if you're doing something fiddly. I think people underestimate how powerful concepts like the recycling bin are, history, etc... in making people feel a bit more confident about experimenting.

How to translate that stuff to completely computer-illiterate people is a big challenge. But my experience is that when people feel like it's really easy to revert mistakes, they tend to experiment more and they tend to be bolder about trying to solve their own problems. And in the opposite direction, as they learn more that computers are dangerous even in specific areas, that can bleed over into other contexts and make them scared of trying things in other programs and with other devices.

When I see people who aren't willing to try and figure out what a URL bar is or who are scared to move files around or organize a directory or bookmarks, I sometimes wonder what the rest of their computer looks like and if they're channeling anxieties with other programs.

Of course, that's only one aspect of the problem though, it's an issue with multiple causes.
Look at this: https://ourworldindata.org/crop-yields

The yields/unit area go up and to the right, which means two things. One is that we need less land for agriculture, which frees it up for other purposes, including allowing biodiversity/forestland.

It's less a matter of someone failing all the early tests but pulling a Hail Mary in the final, and more a matter of someone failing an early test because it took them an extra week to grasp the material; i.e., if the test had been offered a week later, they would have passed. So they still learned everything, just not on the artificial schedule imposed by one-off tests.
I have to note that the project is a TypeScript project.
It is also a question of whether the transparency allows dissenting views. Often, it doesn't.

Which isn't to claim that all dissenting views are good. But when you are an industry that is having a hard time with minority views, forcing the minority to take center/public stage at all times is actually somewhat counter productive.

Put differently, if you are going to encourage transparency for communication and decisions, you have to take extra care to not punish good faith mistakes.
> three-dimensionally

I had actually never put it into words before now, but that makes a lot of sense, and it actually accurately describes how I see my screen.

To me, the OS taskbar is "higher" (as in, closer to me) than the application window title bar, which in turn is higher than whatever controls are in the application itself (think Firefox back and forward buttons, URL bar, setting menu etc), which is itself higher than whatever website it is currently loaded. And even more than this, my brain perceives the website to be "deeper" inside the screen than anything else.

Even right now typing this, the text area to me is "dug" inside the HN, making HN feel closer to my eyes than the texarea for the reply.

I wonder if that's experienced by others as well.
Welcome back! I think it was 20.04 that really did it for me.

That being said, in general 21.10 looks like a good incremental update.
The negative price was caused by all the storage tanks being full. If you've got no storage you can't take delivery so you have to pay someone to take the oil off your hands.

Could you be more specific about the fraud? Optimizing your code to use appropriate data structures, and using state reduction to remove symmetries and duplicate states seems like a perfectly cromulent way of reducing a problem to its true core, which may be small enough to bruteforce.
I want to believe this. I also believe that 1:1s is a bit of an aggressive tactic to force someone to talk when they may not want to. :(
So instead of an "interview" there's some financial blahblah, followed by a one day "trial" after which either side can say no.

Incredibly heavy reinforcement of structural biases aside, this seems to only remove the cheap part of the interview but keep the grueling, expensive part for both parties, just under a different name. I think a full-ass work day is still not the norm outside of the weird SV cabal; we offer it to candidates but no one takes it, and I've never gotten offered or wanted such a thing.

YC is even more up its own ass than I thought at this point, if this was accepted.
