Almost every developed country requires immigrants on work visas to hold degrees.

In the US, if I wanted to sponsor a foreign developer's work visa, they first need to have a degree to meet the prerequisites for the visa at all.
surely there's some middle ground between infinity and a paltry $3500. in our legal system there are concepts like damages, emotional damages, pain and suffering. it's not just about how much wages you missed out on. or does all that just go out the window because these are members of society who aren't paid a lot for their labor?
I don't think Apple has ever claimed that NeuralHash was hardened against intentional false positives. And when properly considered as just one component of their CSAM scanning architecture, NeuralHash being hardened against intentional false positives isn't necessary for it to serve its purpose.

I mean, yes, but... we only got here because Flint itself failed so utterly it could not even provide even basic services like running water to its residents, so the state took over.

The state should have done better. But in reality, cities should not abdicate all responsibility for their own municipal services and expect anyone else to do it better.

It's gatekeeping, and no better than any other kind. I wonder how many truly excellent craftspeople they've held back or let go because they couldn't pass a test for a skill unrelated to their actual work. It calls the standing of those who do pass that test into question as well.

But some people are into gatekeeping, I guess.

It strikes me as odd that interviews aren't collaborative. I mean, the really valuable information that interviewers want is whether or not the candidate is going to work well with other people there, right? So interviewers could work with candidates to solve some problem (maybe problems structured so that it's naturally convenient to divide them into two parts where each contributes). An external service could provide problems and software for shared solving to prevent interviewers from knowing the problems in advance (which would revert to them "testing"). And the shared problem-solving could be recorded so that interviewers could review it afterwards to decide more clearly how it went (maybe they felt like the other person did a lot during the shared problem-solving, but when watching it afterwards, they realize that the interviewer carried the weight of solving things).

I think this kind of context change would be tremendously empowering for candidates such as myself who get very anxious about situations in which they feel people are "testing" them but who actually love working with people. It would also be nice as a way to see what people are like to work with, from both the perspectives of the candidates and the interviewers.

Socialism has nothing to do with one's propensity to be a part of security apparatus, and, I suspect you're basically wrong about 'your generation'. More than likely, all of your friends fit that description (and your projecting), and, you're failing to take into consideration that people change perspective as they get older and wiser. Also, GenZ are basically still children, they're not even out of school. So whatever they believe has to be contextualized strongly by that.
You're conflating audio (dynamic range) compression with data compression. Dynamic range compression is an artifact of the mastering process. It very much can be done well or done poorly. Lossless data compression like FLAC isn't something that can be done "wrong". It's just encoding redundancies in the audio samples to save space. It's lossless so it will spit out the exact audio as was originally encoded.

We’re talking about it on HN because the same author released another piece of software today which made it to the front page, its relevance to Bun was mentioned, and someone saw fit to post about it.

> Instead, they've gone to the trouble of building a fancy pink website and also hidden the software behind a paywall (or something, I didn't click it).

It’s not a paywall, it’s a public Discord invite, which will almost certainly get you access to the repo if you actually want it.

> Subaru’s problem is that no such standardized system yet exists, forcing it (and eventually other brands) to have to nix its Starlink telematics offerings and related data harvesting.

It does exist, it's called J1939 and it is popular already in trucks and non european truck-like consumer vehicles i.e. pickups.

It also allows the effortless integration of aftermarket systems like F+R sonar emergency braking, trailer ABS units, radar cruise, low speed acoustic devices and various other bolt-ons like power take-offs.

In fact, it's this standardization that allowed some hundreds of third party fleet telematics systems to plug into virtually any OE vehicle and pull out a whole bunch of useful data, such as the odometer, fuel level, road speed, torque request and selected gear.

It does however currently lack useful standardization for electric vehicles. They can fit within the standard, but there is no standard way to read the voltage of a particular cell in one of the vehicles' many battery packs, for example. Or the state of charge or battery wear as a whole. I think this contributes to the high integration effort in EVs at the moment. Or why you see few upfitters doing custom bodies for EVs. Things could be a lot more .. plug and play.

It wasn’t announced like this. And it is available in some form.
It also depends on how strict the claim process is. Do they need a signed doctors note from 2014 to take part or some other obnoxious legal roadblock?

> If we're talking about a country that's attempting to (or has no choice but to) cut USD out of its foreign trading

For some small country -- and it would need to be a small country, like Sierra Leone, that cannot access the Forex markets, then they need foreign reserves ahead of time. This is true. But if they don't want to hold their reserves as USD they can hold them in EUR or YEN if they like, and then when they need to buy oil, they sell the EUR for USD and buy oil with USD.

While the USD is the largest foreign reserve, it's like 60%, there is also EUR, British Pound, Yen, and some other currencies that are ubiquitous enough for Sierra Leone to hold. These can readily be sold on the spot for whatever a nation wants as payment.

Ask HN: How screwed am I if I drop out?
From what I can tell, the market for entry level positions is brutally competitive, and I need every edge I can get.

* I'm a freshman studying CS at UIUC

* I've had two internships applying ML to niche
problems. In one of these, when I was 15, I beat the SOTA on a problem in the field of applied geophysics on a contract for the US Air Force.

* I took DS/Algo and ML courses at my home state's university while in HS.

* I can do FizzBuzz, invert a binary tree, implement a hashmap, etc., but could definitely benefit from grinding leetcode.

All that being said, I have a visceral hatred for my classes, and feel like they are eroding any passion I previously had for mathematics, science, and CS. How screwed would I be if I dropped out right now?
This article has some... interesting entries (as noted elsewhere in the comments here), but it came up at an interesting moment for me.

It's fetishism. Music must sound better with pretty knobs ! Meanwhile in the real world high quality audio equipment is dirt cheap and far more flexible since it can be software-defined.
Sure, your mileage may vary. I often see people tweet about or talk about stuff before it's actually ready to go, as a way of getting specific feedback early on without committing to all of the stuff involved in opening a repository.

Also, I don't really see where the authors submitted it to HN, so saying they announced it this way is a bit strange.

By the way, it is available in "some form." After reading your comment I joined the Discord, there is an #invites channel where you can type "I want bun" and it will generate a link for you to be invited to the repo, with a #releases channel that links to each release.

Very excellent point and good ideas for a solution. Funnily enough, I've recently had the same thoughts, been wondering what it would be like if interviewers were asked to work with interviewees on problems they were equally as unfamiliar with, so they are on equal footing.
Wanting to write about a subject you're not fully prepared to write about isn't dishonest, it's just premature. I think the difference that this has from dishonesty is dishonesty can be cured by... simply being honest.

The disaster happened only after the state took over. It was caused by a cost cutting measure on the state's part and ultimately ended up being way more expensive than the anti-lead leeching additive they decided to not use.
Again, just because people use the technique, doesn't make it the best or even most appropriate method. It is incredibly inefficient and no technology can make it more efficient, because it is limited by the laws of physics -- which you keep insisting don't matter for some reason.

And again, you're making a sweeping generalization about regulatory organizations that isn't even remotely true, and you have nothing to base it on. In the US alone, the majority of states have systems that combine both regulated and unregulated rates, and even in the states where the regulators decide on the rate, a utility can request rate increases at any time.

Your entire premise is based around some mystical altruism that doesn't actually exist in government or business.

The physical world and its constraints don't cease to exist because you're wearing a headset, but a headset-based metaverse does cease to exist if you've only got a pocket sized phone with you.

Completely agreed with this. If you make a feature less useful than before of course it will be engaged with less.

A radical approach in the similar vein would be to just turn off half your infra and add a ton of latency to YouTube. That would similarly solve the "dislike attacking behavior" altogether at the cost of having your existing users hate your product, with the added bonus of server cost savings.

> Why would people bother with crappy MP3s when they could have no-loss storage instead? SMH.

This one really boggles the mind indeed and I have a theory. But first basically: to me it's the same as saying, if you could have the real DaVinci's Gioconda painting at your home, "Look, I've got this 300 dpi color print of the Gioconda and I don't care, because from 10 meters away you cannot tell the difference". This, in itself, when you can save tens of thousands of songs in FLAC (CD quality) on a 1 TB is just seriously WTF.

But I think the reason people are still using mp3s when they could be using FLAC files is because there's an entire industry, operating at a loss, streaming non-CD quality. And they have to brainwash everybody into thinking lossy audio still makes sense in 2021.

Storage, however, is only going to get cheaper and cheaper. The mental gymnastics going to be needed in the upcoming years to keep arguing for mp3s over FLAC is going to be plain mindboggling.

I don't care if I can't consciously hear the difference. I still want the correct file/sound. I can put 60 000 songs at CD quality on a 1 TB stick / SSD. Soon we'll be able to put 600 000 songs at CD quality on memory sticks / SSDs. And you can bet you'll still have people nostalgic of Winamp and Napster explaining how mp3 makes perfect sense.

FLAC are also a bitperfect archival format btw, mp3 ain't.

I rip all my CDs (and I still collect CDs) to FLAC file.

The only time I convert to mp3 is because my car's media system reads mp3 but not FLAC: and when I need to convert I'm happy that I don't have a lossy format to start with.

Wow. That would be tempting. I'd probably take an offer like that and just use Uber for trips for a couple of years until all of this blows over.
It's not a paywall, it's that you have to ask in order to see it. Asking automatically gives you access. I think that seems very reasonable, you want only people who are interested enough to follow through. This is one step above "nobody gets it" and one step below "everyone gets it."
> NFTs do solve a problem, and the problem that they solve is that creatives are getting paid for their creative output.

It did not. There are already plenty of ways artists can get paid for their work. If you had said "this creates another way for artists to get paid," sure (ignoring all the NFTs that are blatantly stolen), but asserting that this is the only way is false.

> The promise of NFTs is that they offer a different way for people to interact. Ownership is always based on social constructs, so folks that are involved in this space need to have some consensus of what it means to "own" an NFT on whatever chain.

I see "ownership" tossed around so often. But I just pulled up two recently sold listings on OpenSea (one from Bored Apes, the other from Cryptopunks), and unless OpenSea hides information if you're not logged in, there were no rights transferred for the original works themselves - you just own the NFT listing. What's the point of shelling out six figures for mass-generated artwork when you don't even have any IP rights?

Sure, there's the "exclusive community" of Bored Apes (though you can apparently have your NFT stolen but still be in the community, so...not sure how exclusive it really is), but other than that, it just seems like a way to flex on everyone.

I have more legally enforceable rights to a $20 drawing I commissioned (paid for on ko-fi) than many NFTs going for $100k+.

It's either a speculative bubble which will burst eventually, or the community is worth the price (plus the flexing privileges).
Uh, the gp points both intentional false positives and intentional false negatives (IE, anyone intentionally keeping CSAM can easily hide it while anyone can create an image that triggers the hash and gets human to scan your image and etc).
Why not just make sure the person has watched >X% of the video before allowing like/dislike?

Both Google and rights holders don't care. The more of the video you sit through, the more ads they get to shove in your face. It's a win-win situation for both parties.
Rebecca Black from 10 years ago would've liked this.
That's exactly when dislikes are so useful. This screams of a bad/easy product decision by someone who doesn't use YouTube this way. Facebook, ebay, etc went to this so I guess that's the future. No negative reviews to maximize time-on-site.
At the moment like this, I always wonder:

I think the one sentence explanation is that your statement is plainly racism.

No one expects to fall for scams. otherwise scams wouldn't work. People will even deny that they were scammed for pride.

I'm trying to imagine how you would even grow this. Low Budget seekers go directly to craigslist, FB, and those sites, so how do you even get in front of them to upsell your service? Google/FB ads? Word of Mouth? Like someone would tell their buddy: "Hey, I am vulnerable to housing scams, so I pay 12€ to protect myself from falling for it. You're dumb too, so you should pay as well."

If you're having to pay for ads, then you will need to increase your price significantly to cover marketing costs.

This is kinda like insurance, you don't need it until you need it.
And when you find a car that’s available they all are stacking an extra 10k “market adjustment” on top. It’s a huge scam.
While you might be happy to pay more for kids, I see this as age based discrimination. I assume it's illegal almost everywhere.
