> Lesser managers will try to stump candidates with horrible brain teasers along the lines of “Describe a time you got into a bad situation and resolved it effectively?” — or crap like that. Those questions are not necessary. All you will do is filter out some good people who have not yet mastered the art of the interview.

> But if a candidate can’t even tell you why they liked their last job, or what they got out of their college experience, or any of the million other questions that speak to their basic humanness… Then no amount of experience will make them valuable.

This is the core argument, except the author decided to liberally douse it in hacker-news flame bait and in doing so makes himself sound ridiculous.

I don't necessarily disagree that you can't tell a lot about a candidate with questions that are not "horrible brain teasers", but really with all of the examples he gave he's also just filtering out good people who have not yet mastered the art of the interview. The art of the interview isn't to be able to chat shit about a bad situation you resolved at work, it's the ability to think on your feet and turn a single podcast you listened to two years ago into a "childhood love of Spanish history" at a moments notice.

Not being able to do that doesn't make you a loser, or any less qualified for the job.

I think this is a common misunderstanding because "libertarianism" nowadays can refer both to what is now called "libertarian socialism" (i.e. anarchism, individuals cooperating voluntarily for the common good) and right-wing libertarianism (i.e. laissez-faire capitalism or "anarcho-capitalism", natural selection via the free market).

The latter generally believe some people are inherently superior (though they will not always make a point of where this comes from) and that everyone therefore deserves their lot in life because those at the bottom either are inherently inferior (and thus undeserving) or failed to activate their potential (and thus undeserving).

The former generally believe we don't stand on the shoulders of giants so much as on the shoulders of billions and billions of people no worse or better than us. Some individuals may have genuine innate talent making them better at one thing or another without trying but while that may make their opinion on those matters more qualified it doesn't justify any claim to power as societal decisions (such as allocation of resources) should be reached by gaining consent from everyone affected.

Without regulation, markets naturally tend towards centralization and thus a significant power imbalance. Heck, if you were to fully abolish the public commons and the state, you would inevitably reinvent feudalism as the owners of the largest corporations would need to hire private militias to subdue their workers and defend their property claims against competitors, customers and colonies. This is why many right-wing libertarians still want a public police and military and why libertarian socialists generally don't want markets as a political instrument even if they may be favorable towards coops as an intermediate step or for the production of commodity goods.

Jesus Christ that forum thread. Those people really need mental help. Like, how can a mentally stable person write something like:

"A system deficit I recognized over the last several months was choral music, couldn't enjoy it when played as I was hearing wrong harmonics, kind of a glaze on the sound with poor word intelligibility regardless of whether the OS resided on Optane or in RAM. Had me agonizing over what could fix it...problem solved using the FEMTO NVMe drive"
You shouldn't be so stern. The use case I provided is AWS's recommended way to solve this problem[0]. :)

> Yes, designed for usecases like those handled by Cloudflare Workers, which boil down to updating data cached in edge servers without requiring global redeployments or pinging a central server. We're talking about stuff like adding timestamps to images or adding headers to HTTP responses or pre-rendering some HTML or emit CDN-aware metrics.

> Not exactly. Lambda@Edge are event handlers from CDN events. You use them when they suit your needs

> Your strawman example doesn't even feature among the dozen examples provided by AWS regarding how to use Lambda@Edge.

For all of these counterpoints, see [0].

> Everyone is free to come up with silly ideas and absurd examples, but if you design systems around braindead ideas then that says a lot about you and nothing about the tools you chose to abuse

I take it you are directing this particular comment at AWS considering they are recommending this solution? [0]

> Yes, that's what web servers do. What exactly is your point?

Don't be daft. You know what I mean. Obviously web servers execute code. In this case the web server (CloudFront Distribution) is passing the request to yet another "thing" which happens to be a JS function that is invoked specifically to handle something web servers like nginx were built to do extremely efficiently on their own. CloudFront could easily support this without additional dependencies that add complexity to your system design and introduce additional failure modes. In this case, I am making your point for you: using Lambda@Edge for this IS ridiculous, but that's the AWS way.

> It doesn't. That's what a web server does. Moreso, Lambda@Edge (and Cloudflare Workers too) only do it if you explicitly decide to make them do it, to match precisely what you tell them to do.

> It does. It adds tens of milliseconds when the alternatives can add hundreds of milliseconds. You're also expected to do basic engineering work and do basic performance work when seeking performance improvements, such as measuring things instead of mindlessly jumping on bandwagons without caring for the outcome.

Sorry for not writing a detailed blog post to describe all of my findings. FYI, the latency added with Lambda@Edge caused my request time to double and added much more variance.

I'm surprised a lot of your counterpoints are just blaming me for doing the wrong thing, when this is actually what is recommended by AWS. Invoking a custom function to process the request. See [0]. Of course the right solution is to use nginx (but then you lose out on AWS scaling) or completely redesign your system to fit another solution like API Gateway.

From AWS's blog:

> In this scenario we can use Lambda@Edge to change the path pattern before forwarding a request to the origin and thus removing the context. For details on see this detailed re:Invent session. [0]

Gas fees do not rise with the amount of the transaction. So if you're selling for a really high price, gas fees are negligible.
I agree with your conclusion and want to expand on a few points.

> early 30s without dependents

Its my observation that co-founders usually fall into this group for better or for worse. A natural consequence of this is that they often have less experience, a smaller network, and an entirely different risk profile that favors, go figure, high risk ventures. I believe this also makes many in this founder demographic easy prey for VCs and others with the ability to doll out predatory contracts - and makes the role largely unappealing.

> a small engineering team paying roughly 60% of market rate

So this has obvious consequences, but you also don't need to bake "good" software this early on. You can launch shit software, as long as its just not-shitty enough to lock-in a few lucrative clients early on. This validates your idea and allows you to hire the "good" engineers to build the """good""" software, or at least more scalable version, going forward. The real hit is on the CTO or VPE or technical lead who has to break their back making the in-experienced team work. That's a lot of stress that more often then not leads to huge amounts of burnout.

> bad advice from her SV peers

Yeah this sucks, everyone has advice to give and almost nobody takes responsibility for its fall-out. But being a SV founder is generally lucrative enough (even if its just in networking) that I have little sympathy for those who fall into the trappings of "greedy" bad SV advice (like underpaying your workers!). That's not just on the people giving advice, that's on the founder too. Distancing yourself from such behavior is a no-brainer.
Looks fantastic. What did you use to build this? Any interesting changes/user insights since you posted to HN in July?

I love the low-friction approach to signing up and getting started right away with a cohort. I have a family member battling alcohol addiction, and while I feel the group accountability/support of AA can be helpful, AA often focus too much on the 12-steps with a heavy dose of religion. When my family member entered an in-patient rehab program, one of the "highlights" was the close connections with their intake cohort (phones weren't allowed, so staying connected was up to them - so higher friction to staying in touch for support).

Lockdowns during the pandemic have likely exacerbated conditions that lead to and enable alcohol addiction, with less physical interaction with others to detect warning signs or get access to traditionally "in-person" services.

> They have also looked into capturing some of the energy released as sound waves by humans speaking into their remotes as part of voice commands.

This makes me want to dismiss the entire article as crackpot nonsense. Apparently there are [prototype devices made](https://news.mit.edu/2019/converting-wi-fi-signals-electrici...) that can capture tens of microwatts of energy from a WiFi signal (though how close it is to the router is anyone's guess), which is maybe enough to trickle charge an ultra-low power device.

“You might need to do a lot of manual spam fighting initially“

How would this be limited to "initially"? Wouldn't it be a lot, initially, and then only get worse?
I think the problem is just that the solution isn't in Google's wheelhouse: There is no algorithmic ranking system that can't be gamed. Human moderation and curation is the only way to provide true quality, and Google is allergic to solutions that don't automate and scale.

I think a really good search engine would still algorithmically search it's index, but the content library should be human-curated with a goal of ingesting content via author, not via platform. Once a given author was human-approved as a quality source of information, content they produce could be automatically ingested going forwards, and conditionally re-reviewed by a human if there were reports the quality had decreased.
GnuPG is now financially self-sustaining
I had a similar experience with Vista (64-bit). I always ran it on at least a dual-core CPU with lots of RAM, and it was more stable than XP and ran fast enough. All the hardware I wanted to use with it worked. The only awesome things about it were the start menu search bar and Aero, otherwise it was fine (boring, did what it needed to). I seem to be the only one with that opinion.
Suicide attempters and suicide completers are different populations.

In any given emergency room, the docs personally know a population of "frequent fliers" who regularly attempt suicide and have other psychiatric emergencies. Thus they don't take suicide attempts seriously at all.

In the rare case of a serious attempter (who's on the track to be a completer) they will send them home, get them a referral to psychological help, they go home and read up on suicide methods, then they complete.

Im reminded of the old stalin joke, were the engineers were discussing the best places for the tran-sibirian railroad to run along - and the impatient boss, just took a ruler and made a line. And thats how they build it- including the little bow, were the bosses middle finger was in the way.
That's price strategy to make you feel like you've done a good deal and it's absolutely a thing, it happens all the time.
I think the author is more in a Euro-US-centric bubble rather than Eastern European. Adding the rest of Europe or the US would make no difference to the conclusion as it's unlikely any other woman would have fit the bill. Your first 2 examples are certainly not the kind of power referred to here. The reason Elena Ceausescu gets this distinction is because it is widely believed that she was the real decision maker in the dictator couple, contrary to how it worked in many other such cases of couples with absolute power.

And I'd venture to say that for that time period at least Romania had a far bigger geo-political significance for Europe and the Western world than the Philippines did for the same or for Asia.
