So good luck. I wish you well.
Sure, and I agree that Uber should be ensuring sufficient supply of wheelchair-accessible vehicles, but this is really another place where Uber's model (treat their drivers like independent companies whenever it is convenient to Uber) falls apart.
>Sooner or later someone is going to get sued. Too many of the things tech companies are testing for are proxies for attributes of protected classes.

IANAL, but my understanding is that discriminating is allowed if it's relevant for the job. Requiring programmers to deadlift 150b (which probably discriminates against women) would run afoul of anti-discrimination laws because it's not relevant to the job, but requiring that from construction workers is probably legal.

I am not looking to debate or argue. I am simply stating my beliefs. You are free to disagree or take nothing at all from it. To become critical of me or my understanding shows how little you have learned from your experiences.

Depression comes from the same place as your judgement of others.

All experience is subjective. That is my point.

You however limit your experience to the world view of your senses and what science and your cultural background have told you are true. It is as simple as that.

That is valid. But it wont cure Depression. The analytical mind has no clue. That is why. That is my belief. Take what you want or take nothing at all.
What definition of "censor" are you using, which allows downvotes to be framed as censorship, yet the concealment or elimination of downvotes to escape that branding?
We have Donald Duck magazine here in the Netherlands as well and I can tell you everyone was reading it when I was young. Me, my siblings, but also my parents. There often was a literal fight when the mail came in who got to read it first.

I carried the subscription along when I moved out as an adult but cancelled it years ago as the newer stories became less interesting. I still love to read the older ones so I don't think it's an age thing. The old ones often have great storytelling. You can really tell if it is an original (American) Disney story or one by the Dutch/European studio, or if the intern was tasked with coming up with this week's idea.
people - especially on tech forums - have a tendency to underestimate the value of accumulated business knowledge. I'm glad you mentioned Ford and their electric pickup truck. Ford make a series of some of the most durable and best-selling pickup trucks the world over.

Tesla, on the other hand, have zero experience building rugged vehicles and their teething troubles will be immense. Ford, meanwhile, have been building rugged vehicles for decades. I would argue Rivian's position is similar to Tesla's in that they don't have the level of know-how that Ford do.

Despite all the justifications, i cannot see how Tesla's model will scale beyond developed markets.
I had the exact opposite occur. The missus wanted a patio installed (pavers or bluestone) and the quote we got from one guy was 10k over what others were bidding. He didn't even submit any drawings/diagrams, just told us the quote. Obviously didn't want the job.

Same thing happened with a flooring guy who could have done $30k worth of work. He kept claiming he'd send us a bid but eventually ghosted us.

Tradespeople can skip doing the hard/less-profitable jobs right now while the market is hot.
Hard to overemphasize this. Handling errors is similar to the benefits that writing tests provides - slower upfront, but a more stable product gets shipped.

Handling errors everywhere means problems are already solved before they happen. No 1 am pagerduty alerts because we didn't consider what would happen if a DNS server hung until we timed out and thought just wrapping in a try/catch and crashing was a good idea.
>What you really want is to know if people similar to yourself like / dislike certain content

For the most part no, I really don't.

Maybe this would be something useful for videos on topics like programming, cooking, travelling etc. but I'm not at all interested in knowing if the people with the same worldview as me enjoyed the content, doing so for certain topics (politics, philoshophy, science) creates echo chambers and is overall unhealthy for everyone who is influenced by that content.

GPUs are bad, CPUs are getting better, but the rest (except for RAM during mid-2020) are in plenty supply... I'm also looking for a SSD and there's quite a few options going on special (well below MSRP) these days. I'm waiting for Black Friday to pull the trigger, but maybe I shouldn't if things continue going this route.

FWIW, I just extended the lease on my Leaf for the 2nd 6-month term because there is simply no new Leaf in stock anywhere within 100 miles of Seattle; at this rate, I might as well buy it out (even though when I got, I negotiated for a great monthly rate and didn't care about the residual).
Yes :(

I'm just exceptionally sensitive to rejection and evaluation, and over the years, the interview process has become more traumatic for me, rather than less. Even decent technical interviews (ie - complete the task 100%, don't flub, don't blank out) can take me days to recover from - my physical/emotional reaction is often very far from where my rational mind perceives the situation. I was once deeply distressed by an interview where I ultimately received an job offer.

It's a common aspect of ADD (rejection sensitive dysphoria), but it only really becomes a disruptive issue for me during job searches. However, as I develop as a coder, and apply for more senior positions, the gap between my performance in interviews and my perception of my abilities and value as a coder gets wider, and so does my distress.

I've considered avoiding proctored and timed interviews entirely, but the cost of this not small: the more in demand a job opening is, the more motivated the hiring personnel are to streamline the process and to be comfortable with low-value methods to pick and choose between candidates - they have so many more candidates to eliminate. So, in the past, I feel I've taken jobs that I did not feel entirely excited about and ended in toxic work situations, that I was hesitant to leave, due to the trauma involved in hiring.

I've probably disclosed more than is wise, given that I'm actively looking for work right now, but I'm kind of exhausted of hiding myself, and any hiring manager whose snooping my HN account is sure to find even better reasons not to hire me :)

Please read the sentence right below the one you copy + pasted:

> If you're confused what I mean, check any US mainstream media video with an obvious political slant but pretending to be "objective news" and look at the like/dislike ratio. The system is totally working...except it isn't working out well for the political party that YT would prefer.

In other words: People are disliking obvious political propaganda that YT would prefer that you like.
Almost any video featuring Biden, the "most popular" president in history, gets disliked by a huge ratio. So Youtube is making it that you can't publicly dislike government propaganda now. Huge setback for civil rights and democracy. Government lies, and corporate media joining hands together yet again.

Yeah this doesn't make sense. I don't know if they don't understand how YouTube works, but downvoting something doesn't remove the content from view. On sites like reddit and hackernews downvoted comments become less visible but they are still there. I don't think anywhere that implements downvoting ends up "censoring" that content based on just downvotes.

Annual chili eating competition?
The are competing with Epic, which has a huge presence in the VFX industry - including Unreal being used on the real-time VFX for the Mandalorian. Weta was using Unreal at one time, as well. This is likely a more strategic move to a) obtain more studio tech to integrate with Unreal to make sure they do not loose the "high ground", b)obtain people in the loop who really know about high end rendering engine tech, in which they are behind Unreal and c) make sure Weta stays well away from Epic.
Eh, it also correlates to "cheapskates." I know a lot of people who make FAANG money who do the bare minimum in home/auto repairs. Just cheap SOBs.
I see these articles every now and then over last 5-10 years, but as someone who has followed/worked around this industry in the past, I can tell you that there is enough demand, supply and capital for this industry and it is not going anywhere.

All of these companies are EBDITA profitable with decent margins and the net loss is them reinvesting in marketing, product and M&A (from their earnings reports). As the effects of covid wanes, their profits are going to go up very quickly which will be seen over the next year.
Right, but they can access your car later and see all the places you've been.
> I also believe that allowing alternative App Stores, or sideloading, on iOS would be destructive.

Your long argument boils down to this. I believe that the effect will be the opposite. Increased competition always benefits the customers. AppStore experience on the developer and on the user side is quite lacking, so if Apple would be forced to compete, everybody (but Apple) will benefit.

And it will also remove the leverage bad state actors like Russia or China have over the company.

You see, iPhone and iPad are not 'appliances', they are supercomputers, and users who want to use them as such must have this option.

Yawn... who still uses Youtube? I don't even youtube-dl their crap any more. They are a joke. If I wanted to watch TV I would not have cancelled my cable in 2001.
> It sounds like the study points to the idea that "talk through your reasoning" is a bad interview approach.

That idea definitely makes sense to me. And I think some devs do definitely underperform in interviews.

Though I'm not sure if there's great alternatives. As an interviewer I feel that seeing someone work through a problem and debug issues gives useful information. I don't know if there's a better, less anxiety-producing way of testing those things.

I do think take homes can be really useful, but those have their own problems. Maybe leaving someone alone onsite to complete the problem would be an option. But I think leaving the discussion to the end would give less info about the candidate's communication skills.
I find it fascinating that some hate it and others love it.

Can you talk about if the US has microchip supremacy due to raw materials from Spuce Pine's pure silicon, and if there are any sources that are almost as good or being used instead? Is it almost like De Beer's diamond monopoly?

Do you use any countries or specific factories that do better refinement or are the raw materials directly shipped to the manufacturing country? What do you make from the wafers usually? Are certain sizes much harder to make? I know for example that larger sensor for digital cameras are much harder to make. I also heard of redundant circuits used to increase the yields of chips, how often is this used and when is it most useful versus less?
I don't think you're understanding this. As long as person A has more bread than they're going to eat, and person B still wants more bread, it is still optimal to trade. A well fed individual can do more labor than a minimally fed person who can in turn do more labor than a dead person. As person B's quality of life improves, they are in an ever better position to trade. The bread is worthless to person A, it doesn't matter how little person B gives for it, it is still optimal.

It does not become Pareto efficient until person A is worse off by trading bread, by which point they no longer have enough to completely satisfy their needs.
> When you censor an opinion by downvoting something, you are making an unfair decision for future viewers of that content who would rather make that decision on their own.

The value of the downvotes on HN, Reddit and YouTube is to save time when trying to find signal among the noise.

Still, I agree that some people may end up unfairly not being heard/seen.

But removing downvotes seem one step closer to surrendering to The Algortihm.

Then again, perhaps that is the general idea. And perhaps it will work out. YouTube can transparently use watch time instead of vote counts when deciding how to rank stuff. That’s what TikTok does, from what I understand. Maybe YouTube already does as wel. And in that sense, video content is a bit different from text.

So even though my initial impression of this change was negative, I think it may work out when we consider the difference between HN, Reddit on one side and video streaming services like YouTube and TikTok on the other side. (Also, I am aware that Reddit hosts videos too, but I am talking about the text and external link content here).
Any proof of that? I really can't see how google would be vulnerable to bots and brigading. I mean, you can't use vpns or tor on google apps without solving annoying puzzles.

> People aren't going to suddenly start paying more for cars than housing. People aren't going to suddenly own 30 cars a piece. Tesla is never going to grow enough to be worth it's current market cap.

There are around 290M cars on the road in the US, of which 1.3M are electric. Over the next 20 years, the majority of those 290M will get replaced by an electric vehicle. One of the major drivers of this will be cost: it will just be significantly cheaper from a TCO perspective to drive electric.

Electric is such a shift that traditional car purchasing forces like brand loyalty are disrupted, and there will be a land rush to claim new market share. Electric also presents heretofore prohibited avenues for vertical integration: Tesla wants to sell you the car, the home battery and the solar panels to go with it. Standard Oil was broken up for similar types of vertical integration.

Electric will also present opportunities for ongoing service revenue (value-added services such as in-car infotainment) that automakers have tried for years to break into (unsuccessfully)

If you’re the early leader with a promising track record, as Tesla is, a 1T valuation is not surprising.
Keep in mind the following scenario:

A user with a disability books an Uber. They are unable to get to the Uber within the allotted time. The driver leaves. The customer then books another Uber, and this time successfully makes the trip. The customer calls Uber to refund the cancellation fee, which Uber does. Uber is then out the time the first driver took to reach the destination, the driving time, and the cost of the customer service contact (which can be quite expensive). They also have to deal with reputational and regulatory risk. This isn't an invented scenario - I've seen this happen.

Wouldn't it be less costly for Uber for the driver to just wait an extra 5 minutes?

> How should a person with disabilities indicate that they have a disability requiring extra time in a fraud proof manner?

There are already systems for allowing people with disabilities to qualify for reduced fares or paratransit - typically involving having your doctor send a letter to the local transit agency. Uber could either replicate such a system, or they could accept documentation from a local transit agency or they could allow people to self-designate and eat the cost of fraud (my guess is that stigma and lack of awareness of the program will prevent a lot of people from fraudulently using it).

> Should all disabilities be treated equally?
> Who decides how much time should be granter per?

Ideally you'd make a decision based on an individual's needs, but if I was a product manager for Uber I'd just just set a high limit for everyone who qualified for the program initially and then figure out later if something more complex is needed based on how much time drivers are actually waiting. If this program helps Uber reduce the number of cancellation/re-bookings/1-star reviews

> Should this same policy apply to people with ephemeral injuries?

Yes, temporary disabilities are disabilities.

> Should Uber compensate the driver for this extra time to ensure the driver is still incentivized to pick up people with disabilities?

Yes, for exactly the reason you mentioned

> Why, ethically, should this cost fall on Uber instead of the driver? Either way an inefficient market is being created here because the government is stepping in and saying that a transaction made between two rational actors is unfair even if those parties agree to the terms of the transaction (unless Uber is a monopoly). If the driver is not compensated fairly for their time, why is this sacrifice ethically permissible?

First, I'm not convinced that Uber having to pay for extra waiting time is against UBER's best interest - see the scenario above. But even if it were on balance a net cost to Uber, society has an interest in ensuring that everyone is able to travel and do all the things that travel enables (any kind of in-person commerce, healthcare, etc).
Is shaming the author really the most productive attitude?
You'll find that HN, just like any other community, is largely conformist on major social/political issues.

It came as a shock to me at first, but now I simply accept that people are wired for self-preservation via cognitive compartmentalization.

People here will argue vim/emacs for weeks, but will happily repeat mainstream media talking points on every major social/political issue.

This is why I restrict my usage of online communities based on expertise now. I will find world class programmers/scientists on HN, but those same geniuses will be hilariously ignorant on history/politics.

Such is life. HN is definitely not a one-stop shop, but it's unrivalled for anything STEM related.
