> [...] the technical interview process means that many job candidates try to spend weeks or months training specifically for the technical interview, rather than for the actual job they’d be doing.

I could've told you all of this ;)

> [...] all of the women who took the public interview failed, while all of the women who took the private interview passed

there's other underrepresented minorities that also underperform in these interviews

Nothing will change for the foreseeable future
> This assumes massive advances in battery tech to support seasonal and week-to-week weather changes.

This is bad engineering. One would not use batteries for that sort of long timescale storage, one would use something like hydrogen. The round trip efficiency is much lower, but with the much smaller number of charge/discharge cycles that doesn't matter. The effect of efficiency on the cost of storage scales inversely with the average storage time; it's important for diurnal storage, not important for seasonal storage. The energy capacity cost of hydrogen storage could be maybe $1/kWh of capacity.

For a timescale of a week, thermal storage is an option, with sand heated to 1200 C. Round trip efficiency would be 53%.
I think it depends on how long you can wait until you would need another car.

Yeah, you can potentially lose little to none in depreciation (or gain in some situations) selling your car currently. If you have another car or just don't need one, can be quite nice to get great value + reduce your insurance/gas etc. But if you will need another car again in 12 months I think it's a bit unclear whether it's worth it & where the market will be (granted - i'm no market analyst). If it's no issue to wait 24+ months I definitely think it's an amazing time to sell cars that get little use.
Spreadsheets has limits to number of rows/cells. And they tend to corrupt after certain limit easily. Then things like creating relation between sheets or deriving different views are not possible/easier in spreadsheet. This is when teams using spreadsheets start to move to databases. But it involves a lot of effort to build a spreadsheet like product on databases. This is where noco helps.
I think the product direction holds some real value.

However, as a potential customer I do not know what this product can do from browsing the webpage for a short a mount of time. Hints like "Airtable alternative" is no use to me when I don't know what Airtable is good for.

If car owners are paying for that power, then you need more than just electrical outlets. You need something that takes payments.

If car owners aren't paying for the power, then who is?

And either way, what does it cost to wire up all the parking spaces?
Try finding reviews for older fitness equipment. 90% of them are generated by scripts pulling images and text from Amazon and image search. The other 10% are either old commercials from when the product was released or long term owners of the product doing real reviews. None of these videos get very many views so that's not a useful metric. The automated videos probably only get viewed for a minute or so before they exited but that's enough time to register a view. The automated videos tend to accumulate dislikes from people angry they got tricked into watching. Now that signal is gone and actual product reviews will no longer be able to rise above the automated ones by having a favorable Like/Dislike ratio. Because these reviews are for old products, even the legitimate reviews have only a small number of views and doesn't serve as a useful way to separate the clickbait from the actual content.
'if' is the epitome of control flow (next to looping). It's fundamental to computer programming. It's honest. Don't be ashamed of control flow, don't hide your control flow as if it didn't exist.
The activity feed is no more, I think, and liked videos only end up in a private playlist now.
Business vs consumers.
Oh I could not give a dead flying flamingo about likes and dislikes on YT.

It's the intent behind all this that I find repulsive. As someone justly mentioned above, this all comes down to uninterrupted flow of content towards (less) able to resists psyches.

Widely available and cheap doesn’t equate to ‘as cheap as last year’.

I bought a fairly well used 2006 Honda in Jan of 2020 for $5k. After denting the rear fender badly and putting 20k miles on it, it’s worth $7-8k.

A vehicle like that has never appreciated like that. Cash for Clunkers had an impact on availability of $1000 beaters, but nothing like what we’re seeing now.
this is not an ellaboration, but a mere pointer based on one example: the sitcom Friends is sublty anti-intellectual and it came out around that time.

Why not simply hide the vote count (either way) until a certain threshold of votes is reached? This could be set higher for channels that are just starting out. Below a certain vote count, I personally don’t see much value anyway.
To be clear, they are making the count visible only to the creators.

The button itself will remain.
Agreed. They have been leaving a mountain of money on the table by not offering this, or a competitor for Google Workspace.
So the working explanation is that the disappearance of new cars (due to chip shortages) has doubled the price of used cars?

The code for BMP isn't very complicated, the hard part is knowing all the rules and corner cases. Like the 4-byte alignment you mentioned, or the fact that the rows are in reverse order of what you'd expect (bottom up).

> Your statements contain implicit assumptions about fiat, particularly the USD's future.

No, I did not. You've started making stuff up and trying to shoehorn this discussion into a direction which you want it to go. This last reply from you is so far off of my initial point which was very simple. My point is very simple and factual: people use USD not crypto when their banks fail because the USD has greater historic stability. Therefore people use it. I've never said "and it will stay stable" I simply said that it is now, and that's why it is used.

> I'm asking you to project further into the future

This isn't the point I'm trying to make. You appear to want me to be making different arguments since the ones you are responding to are completely unrelated to mine. I'm not making some pie-in-the-sky claims about what would happen in the future since I'm not an economist, and I suspect that you are not either given how black-and-white some of your ideas are.

> Otherwise if you don't have any interesting points to make, you can stop refuting me and let the thread reach conclusion?

I'd suggest you review the HN guidelines.
The dislike button on YouTube videos is one of the few remaining signals that what you are seeing is propaganda.

It hadn't occurred to me that this would happen (although it seems obvious) and it is unexpectedly frightening to me.

I suppose the fallback will be videos with comments enabled, where people can 'like' a comment who is saying something common sense and reasonable in response to the content.
Ray Dalio's "beautiful deleveraging" ?
It finally came back down in price for the retailers? I've been waiting for the retailers to lower their prices after they paid off the costs of the original surge in wholesale lumber. And then the wholesale price of lumber came right back to earth but the retailers still had to cover their costs of acquisition.
Legal fees are generally paid in pre-tax money, that's true. How does that end up as a profit?
It's a hypothesis completely unsupported by any evidence, but confidently stated as if it were self-evidently true. This is how conspiracy theories start. Later, someone vaguely remembers reading somewhere (here) that "the White House asked YouTube to get rid of dislikes," then still later it becomes a story on Fox and Friends: "Why is Biden making YouTube get rid of the like button?" By that time, someone's off the cuff supposition has become part of the dank ocean of fact-free memes that have polluted our discourse.
I noticed the same thing - Nissan and Infiniti models that are basically the same chassis but with fancier features going for the same price. Infiniti was lower than MSRP but Nissan was above.

Problem is, Google never shut down competing sites or did anything to block them in any way. In fact they funded platforms that could be used to access them.

That's the difficulty with this sort of ruling. What, exactly, does the EU think Google did wrong here? Putting new stuff into search results? That should not be illegal and no such law exists. Reality is the EU will be perceived as both financially robbing America's tech industry and blaming it for its own failures to develop competitive services, regardless of what spin "EU citizens" try to put on this. The perception is inevitable when the supposed crime is so difficult to understand.

Wait a second...

How is Evergrande's foreign debt default translate to "waging economic warfare via equity markets"? Of course China is responsible for its own domestic debt, because evergrande borrowed from state-backed banks. Are foreign debters also backed by Chinese government? Are you suggesting Chinese government should take responsibility for foreign investors?

And "for a while"? Name another case remotely matches "economic warfare".
Thank you. We have a pipeline of ideas: some of them are pretty big in scope so will have to wait. Some of them are technically challenging so we'd have to level up in skill to bring them to life.

IIUC, you're implying that that mechanic is disdainful of poor customers, and that this just provides convenient political cover.

If so, I'm not sure why you'd assume that. It seems more likely to me that the mechanic is simply choosing his work based on personal interest and perhaps profitability. I don't see why we'd ask anything more than that from him.
Any article with breakthrough in the headline should be taken lightly.
The interesting thing about this is that I'm clearly occupying a different demographic for YouTube. Brigading isn't a big deal for the kind of content I watch, but people often upload fake videos. I have an extension that displays the like/dislike ratio on recommended videos and search results and that helps filter out fake uploads.

By fake uploads I mean reuploads that do not contain the actual example. For instance, I might want to watch a Brahmos or Oniks launch (I find the way the missile orients itself very entertaining) and there'll be a bunch of videos which are 'reaction' videos. They'll use a thumbnail of the content but mostly be some guy talking about the content. Or for a football goal, it's some guy recreating it in FIFA. I don't want to watch these things and the dislike bar warns me of the stuff.

This is a pity.
Our process is very evidence based. We use skills tests that are as close to real world as possible, given time limitations. We can't remove all anxiety, but we make an effort to mitigate it and limit its impact.

True, but that's comparing a (light) framework to a language itself.

If a friend who knows nothing about computers asks me for help, they are often ashamed of their lack of knowledge. I usually can fix the problem. However I feel even more deeply ignorant than them, since I have spent my life working with computers and electronics. For example I might reinstall Windows, and my friend thinks I am a computer wizard, but I am fraudulent in my own mind because I didn’t actually diagnose the cause of their problem. By learning more we discover the depths of our own ignorance.

I’m not sure how to nurture my own inner child of discovery and protect it from the unconstructive bullies in the world, or my own negative inner voices. We all have to learn our own techniques, since they have to be personalised to our own personalities.

Anyway, good fortune on your own path of discovery, and thank you for publishing your journey. I do find it inspiring!
I wonder why the EU won't sink these huge fines back into the process of keeping the companies in check rather than just disbursing it to random cost centers. They could do even better work if they doubled or tripled their investigators and lawyers. That would really send a chill through those who love to rob us of our privacy.
My uneducated guess is that children's videos are a highly competitive category, and that buy disliking competitors, you can raise your own status.
Not to mention that Warcraft 3 was Blizzard's first ever 3D engine. It was actually carried over from an engine developed for Descent (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20973306), effectively a simplified perspective shooter. Constraint sometimes bubbles up to the surface the best solutions. A bit late to this thread. I was the QA Graphics Lead for WarCraft 3.

The previous US administration going to war with China on trade created a lot of uncertainty and concern surrounding tariffs and delays/parts availability.

Through that lens it probably makes a lot of sense to simply move your operation to China, when that covers the bulk of the relevant supply chain for your products. Especially if you have no other barriers deterring the relocation, like language or cultural challenges...
And now many people are excited about throwing all of that away with canvas and web assembly.
Bashing on neolibs and alt-right isn't going to solve anything.

Well unfortunately, not always.
I think it's more like exposure of Chinese companies from international investors. It's going to be very tough to get fx credit lines for those construction companies from now on.
It's just blind speculation. There is absolutely no historical precedent of Big Tech corporations implementing censorship controls at the behest of governments. Anyone claiming otherwise is spreading misinformation and should be censored.

Alder Lake more or less fixed this according to Anandtech, with AVX512 using less than the rated turbo power of the CPU and running at the same frequency as non AVX code: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17047/the-intel-12th-gen-core...

Unfortunately, AVX-512 isnt officially supported on Alder Lake, so it might be another generation before its widely available.
If nobody can see the dislike number, what is the point of disliking a video? It doesn't make the video less likely to appear on feeds. Having the number makes disliking a video feel like you've actually done something rather than just piss in the ocean.
It's cheaper to get 16:9 screens, would be my guess.
Is this easily reproducible? Not sure how widespread this problem is.

I have viewed 4k HDR content on YouTube in Safari AND Chrome several times. It was the first thing I did when I received my 16" M1 Pro. And I have not experienced a single crash with this laptop.

I tested VP9 and AV1 codecs on youtube without issue. I am on macOS 12.0.1
Now that's a lawsuit that is going to cost you in PR about ten times what any fine will likely amount to, a hundred times what you made with the policy, and exactly as much as you deserve for being a caricature of the scumbag corporation stereotype.
I sold my car to Carvana after buying it used 3 years later for $700 less than I had bought it for, and that was months ago.
In my experience, if a video has comments disabled, it's probably bad. The lack of signal is itself a signal.
Russiagate and its slow-mo collapse seems a good example of this incentive to fabricate scandals. Matt Taibbi has been writing about it for years, the details are too much inside baseball for me, but it's clear that the whole set of claims has been falling apart for years and that the TV channels and newspapers that were pushing it have never really admitted any fault.
Vocalizing casual judgements and self-righteous moralizing seems to have become the norm. I guess we're relearning the hard way what previous generations knew: don't talk about religion or politics in polite company. Unfortunately, being tolerant of this typically means just tuning it out. So, we sit and suffer through our relatives arguing with each other over Thanksgiving dinner.
I'm confused, as I see downvotes on other user's comments on Reddit. Did they walk back that move?
A good book that describes the information provided to allied leaders via the intercepts and decryption of the Japanese diplomatic Purple codes is given in the book "Marching Orders" by Bruce Lee. ISBN 0-517-57576-0 (c.1995)
Lee had access to 1000's of the daily decryption and analysis summary reports (called Magic Summaries,) and provided to the president, Marshall and others. He provides an almost day-by-day chronology showing what the leaders knew and how that knowledge shaped their decisions about the conduct of the war. [edit: the axis decrypts were called Ultra. Allied leaders had access to reports on both.]
Wake Up Your Idea!
Sure, I agree with that. I guess people don't want to be in a position of having to choose between freezing to death and going bankrupt. So they won't go with the spot-price following contract, even though in some sense it would be better for the grid as a whole.

I suppose this could be handled with some kind of roof price (with the lost money being inserted as some kind of fixed surcharge on the bill or something like that). That would allow reaping most of the benefits of spot pricing without risking bankruptcy during a crisis.
how about not let people invest in companies that are Chinese? since the CCP bans them from being listed anyways, now when you invest in Chinese companies your investing in some fake company in the Bahamas ...
Which would challenge CCP legitimacy, which would push the CCP to rely on the time tested tactic of blaming someone else and going to war over it.

I really, really hope I'm wrong about that.
Yep close, I think it was even more constrained then that though.. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20973306
I guess it's "warfare via equity markets" if you didn't exit the trade soon enough.

But what would you call it when American investors make boatloads of money investing in Chinese stocks? And should the US regulate away their ability to earn those returns?

Since US investors can also lose money when US companies default, should investors also be prevented from investing in those too?

Incidentally, this "protect investors" logic is the same reason for the accredited investor regulations that prevent the masses from investing in startups.
Random thought from a non-expert but is the only future where cryptocurrency takes over one where global society / traditional currency collapses? And if that happens will cryptocurrency be enough to support the economic needs of a postcollapse society? Is a postcollapse society even something that could realistically exist?

Just something that keeps popping into my head while listening to friends / coworkers talk about NFTs and Dogecoin. Again 100% not an expert but curious what more informed people might think.

Honestly as a consumer this pisses me off. I get home for the day, relax, eat dinner, and log into the bank to check my finances at 8pm and east coast banks throw up a "scheduled downtime for upgrades" notice.
The fed _was_ raising rates pre pandemic, it got detailed by Covid.

I would confidently bet money that they raise rates in 2022.

At the end of the day, the fed has to take its queues from the fiscal policy that’s in place. This time around is very very different from 08.
TIFF is wonderful because it's so optimized for performance. When you get the tiling lined up just exactly right with your storage device block/page/stripe size and your CPU cache sizes, it just screams.
I think recommendation centric architecture that YouTube has changes meaning of upvotes/downvotes from a global content value judgement into a clustering signal. The platform can correlate that signal to the content to cluster users, creators, content, into groups and cohorts. Those characterizations can be further used to optimize platform for ad clicks.
That's ludicrous. It should go back into the governing bodies who do this to hire more auditors and investigators and lawyers to do even more of the Lord's work.
