I wasn't reading it that way. But I'll take the feedback and fix the text so that it isn't ambiguous.

Generally our interview loop is a "brief chat", i.e. 15 to 20 minutes, a brief chat with the CEO, which might be anywhere between 15 minutes and an hour. Those two chats will happen on different days because there needs to be an internal discussion about "do we move forward with this candidate?"

And then three or four principal engineers will speak with the candidate, for at most, 1 hour each, all on the same day. But that said, I also don't want to explicitly state "this is how long it will take" because it will depend on the candidate.

I also didn't clarify anything further, other than asking questions, until you had stated your reasons, because I want it picked apart.

We're aiming for a reasonably light touch interview, because we're aiming at senior people, who obviously won't have a lot of time, who we're also not expecting to do take home tests, or leetcode.

Again, thanks for the feedback, we'll work on our delivery.

Repost of my comment from yesterday: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29982395)

As technically interesting as using a card to sign stuff may be, I don't want that to be the government responsibility, as it then opens the door for it to be used in ways that limit our freedoms: a system that's too perfect can uniquely identify you, in ways that prevent disassociation (ex: the place of birth on the passport is of great interest to some totalitarian places, while only citizenship should matter..)
So for me, the ideal ID system is decentralized, self-declarative, and the weight of the proof depends on the length of history, not on "who" says it's true: there should be many such services where you could declare a name and an address and anything else you wish (phone, email...)

The value after a few weeks would be close to nil, so you could decide to "increase it" by having several people vouch for you (strength in numbers) instead of relying on a "who" (public notary).

Or you could totally decide that you care about your freedom/independence/whatever and NOT ask for any vouching. It may be hard, but after a few years of reliably receiving mail and orders at that address, it would acquire some serious weight - a bit like you tend to trust online accounts that have been open for some year.

Among many other things, this would also allow anyone the opportunity to "change" easily: want a new name/move to a new address/etc: create a revocation certificate for the old, sign it with the new, boom you inherit the credential history!

It's just a quick idea, but it shows how IDs could be more like URLs (multiple competing services, and you could have a few at the same time, why not!) by moving away from the current system that's a direct descendant of the census (give the lord a list of people to tax them) and the passport (limit freedom of movement during the war)

At the core, I believe people should be in control of their identity, not governments or states.
Well, even Gitflow, while not being unreasonable, wastes engineering time. Most devs know it, so at least they don't have to relearn when onboarding, but then their VCS shapes the way they organise their work, when it should be the opposite.

Reading about it now, it feels like the electron move was a result of the VC money. With pressure to grow comes endless A/B tests, gimmicky features, etc and having too many different platforms means you need to split the work across more devs. Trying to match the extra functionality and have the same look is pretty difficult as a program grows.

That being said I hate that 1Password needs that. It’s just a password manager at the end of the day.

Have you every see postident used by any Government service?

I'd say the German government's solution is to just not offer any digital services in the first place. /s

In reality, they have some things moving, but too little, too late:

- Filing taxes has been pretty much digital only (for some sorts of taxes, at least) for a couple of years now. It's certificate based, where you "order" your certificate via snail mail.

- ID cards have a digital authentication function, but I have yet to see any service using it.
Depreciating? That’s not how real estate works in the US
That's about what I thought too. That SA devoted so many words to decry the use of a silly acronym seems equally absurd. As if intelligent minds are too apt to conflate a Hollywood creation with real-world scientific pursuits. Their opinion piece also employs a consistent "we vs. they" language which strikes me as a kind of "woke saviorism" in itself. [Mirror, mirror...]

this 'long tail' discussion has been a huge fallacy. if you look at the type of content netflix is trying to produce, its really not that diverse. its mostly very left leaning dystopian. They also operate very much like a broadcast TV station in the way they cancel shows very fast despite not having limits of airtime slots.

while you site a few cherry picked series that lasted a few years, netflix is really quick to cancel shows. Honestly the original content Netflix spits out has less diversity than broad cast tv, and they have about as much patience to keep those shows 'on the air'.
Iron law: Left-wing violence, no matter how apparently coordinated, is nothing but a series of random attacks carried out by punk kids looking to keep Nazis out of their space, whose only connection to a broader movement is ideological -- not part of an organized force, doing it for the right reasons.

Right-wing violence, no matter how apparently haphazard or the result of lone-wolf action, is the result of a tightly coordinated network of fascists taking orders (through covert "dogwhistle" channels) directly from conservative leadership, up to and including the White House if a Republican is in office, acting on a master plan to undermine democracy and overthrow the government in a coup.

Corollary: We're not the conspiracy theorists, the far right are the conspiracy theorists.

Norway has an electronic id system, and when I went back over christmas, before I had verified that I could "pretend to be a foreigner" when filling in covid entry documentation, I figured I'd try getting one of those id's finally, since you can use them all over the place for Norwegian based services. I moved to the UK before they became common, so I've never had one.

Cue catch-22: To get one I needed to be able to receive mail at the address held by Norwegian tax authorities. They require you to file one notification when you move out of the country giving your new address, but not only don't require you to file notifications when you move again, but actively tell you not to. You can however tell them your new postal address which will be registered separately.

Except I'd never bothered before because I had no reason to, and now, to register a new postal address online or in fact to even get to the page that tells you how to file one, you need to log in with the an electronic id.

Fun times. I sent them an e-mail before christmas asking how exactly they expected me to be able to inform them of my new postal address - I'm sure they do have a fallback - but they've not yet answered.

Thankfully the department responsible for the covid entry forms answered my e-mails within an hour or two and told me it was fine to just fill in the form intended for foreign citizens so figuring out the electronic id it is now only a slightly amusing exercise in questioning the workings of bureaucracy (there workarounds I'm fairly certain would work involving showing up at the embassy or arranging to get a Norwegian bank account opened via the London office of a Norwegian bank, but since I don't actually need one, I haven't bothered exploring those)
At this point Solaris is a zombie product that's only still on sale to bring in revenue from people who're so committed to the platform they'll buy it no matter what.

The development team was basically disbanded a while back, and the hardware team even further back than that, and any customer who's not going to be put off by that seems fairly unlikely to be put off by the lack of certification.

American living abroad in the EU here.

I've spent over 6 hours over multiple attempts to try and sign up for the IRS online through ID.me. I did the whole facial scan nonsense and sent pictures of all the IDs it asked. I'm stuck on the verification of my home address. I've sent them at least 4 different documents, one of which I even provided a translation for, but so far I've only failed.

They only seem to accept American documents, and they don't accept anything not in English. It's fecking stupid and aggravating. Especially since the IRS already knows where I live and regularly sends me letters in the mail.

How am I supposed to produce an American, or even English language, document showing my home address? I don't have any American utilities because I don't live in the USA!

But I want to sign up for the IRS online because the US Postal system is so fecked it takes 5 weeks to receive anything from the IRS. A recent letter I got from them letting me know that I had a payment to make arrived after the deadline for payment. I then had to mail a check to them, likely to take another 5 weeks. I haven't received their notice informing me of my penalty for late payment. It's likely in transit. I'm sure I'll be late paying that as well. But WTF am I supposed to do?

I listen to Americans living in the USA complain about the IRS and just laugh. You guys have it easy.
very cool! I absolutely want one.

Though, if we have enough clean electricity generation capacity to convert that gallium oxide back to gallium without releasing more CO2 than we had sunk in the first place, then one wonders why we're rube goldberging it rather than eliminating the carbon-intensive processes altogether.

In other words, this doesn't sound to me like a solution to our clean energy problems, so much as a cool thing we might be able to do on a mass scale after our clean energy problems have already been solved.

"After 60 days in suspension, you will no longer have access to Google Workspace core services, such as Gmail, Calendar, and Meet"

From https://support.google.com/a/answer/60217
Yeah - I know that problem well.

We have a Gmail integration where you can star an email, and then it syncs to Taskable as a task (and links back to the original email). Once checked off, it also archives the gmail message.

That way you can star things that require follow up, and get to them later, and archive the rest.

We have a lot more to build on the email side of things - such as surfacing important emails for you, or even being able to respond quickly to emails right from Taskable so you go to your inbox less, where you can get sucked down rabbit holes very easily.

I think the idea of Origins was to give their most popular creators some extra resources to undertake a bigger project than usual. For example, MKBHD's Retro Tech is very much in line with his tech videos, or Vsauce's Mind Field is basically a high production version of his normal videos.

That being said, these creators already get a ton of views to start with, and as cool as the highly produced content was, I don't think it realistically brought more views than the normal videos.
I guess OP, like me, is from a country where we have a digital signature installed in our computers or a physical smart card+reader with which you can make many official legal procedures on our local governments. I just got mine from Spain, and I was "late" (but very necessary since I don't live there anymore) and I'm applying literally today for my card in Japan.
hmm. cost per user approaches alternate mail providers with domains. Self-hosting would be cheaper, but the problem is blacklisting of a VPS IP range for email sending. Probably, it requires some use of a specific SMTP service for mail and do all the rest in the self-host, but then that means finding SMTP-as-a-service for $ distinct from VPS, unless you can VPS host for the same cost inside one of the FAANG and avoid the SMTP blacklisting that way?
>out of any news sources, the comments here continue to be mostly grounded and reasonable, not hyperbolic and dramatic.

Unfortunately, somber and stoic news does not have the monetary return from advertising revenue that most news organizations seek. News has become more of an entertainment endeavor rather than one for disseminating information on the state of current affairs. It also seems that the NPR and BBC have gone off the rails in this respect.
I totaly don't agree with this statement: "Hatred is a completely appropriate reaction to the percieved stupidity of others".

Especially "percieved stupidity", if someone thinks he is smart, he should be smart enough to stop and think that maybe other person is right or try to understand why such person might think differently.

I understand mostly it is lack of time, I don't have time to understand point of view of each and every person on the internet, but still hatred is not a valid response until there is a really good reason.

Self appointed tone police have nothing to do with it - it is that as in the Twitter thread - normal people will withdraw from the discussion and person who is discussing with hatred will talk only with people like himself or will be left alone. Which leads to less people participating in discussion which leads to fruitless dung throwing.

So I see that there is no "self appointed tone police" it is just that people stop contributing when they face 'hatred' which leads to conclusion that - yes we are society and this is how it works.
You should let them know to contact their state legislator. From what I read on various state subreddits that's the only way to get a response from your overwhelmed state unemployment office. This is the equivalent to escalating your issue to a manager.
Everyone is so attached to big tech on all levels that no matter how hard you try to escape, it all comes right back. You can set up your own mail server and still get screwed over. So sick of it.

Adding my experience (automotive components engineer for OEMs).

There is currently no push to make parts repairable.

What our cusomers (OEMs) care is: price, safety, reliability, quality, performance, compliance to standards, fast developmnent, fast introduction to production

In my 20 year career I never ever got a request regarding making parts repairable. The target is that the part must not break down in the life of the product (10-15 years). After that nobody cares.

We are more or less moving away from screwing parts together - instead of this welding/gluing/press fiting joints are used. This is just to save 0.1-0.2 € per part by removing few screws, using lower quality polymeric materials, etc. (the cost of complete assembly for OEM is in the range of 20-30€).

As long as the part is cheap, meets performance, safety, life requirements the OEMs are happy.

Until there will be no law that will require manufacturers to make parts repairable nothing will change. We as parts suppliers will strive to make parts as reliable as possible, but just enough to meet life requirements and not comprimise safety.

Similar here, I don’t mind the subscription fee and even like that I can effortlessly pull my passwords from whichever device I need to at the moment. The new electron app is a mess though, even if its data layer is done in Rust. It feels like a cheap imitation of the old one with so many little details being wrong, along with the general sluggishness that comes with a “modern” web stack.

I’m not really happy with any of the other options either though. Bitwarden is stuck in the browser, and the various KeePass clients vary a lot in polish.

It seems a little ridiculous because the UI involved in this sort of app is trivial to build and make nice in practically any native UI toolkit released in the past 20 years. It’s just list views and text fields… I would’ve expected the hard part of building a password manager to be the functional bits, not the UI.
That's pretty cool. Love to see a hardware project.

> While there are obvious reasons after the horrors of the Holocaust that the Jewish survivors would want to have a country of their own,

Actually Zionism started about 50 years before the holocaust because of massacres of Jews in East Europe in the Dreyfus trial which was the last straw. Turns out Zionism was right, couldn't be more right.

> A chunk of the defeated Germany, for example, would have been a much more natural and easier to create space

No one offered, and as I say above Jews needed a place well before the holocaust. Also you're talking as if there's some just policeman who runs the world and thinks of "just" and practical solutions for everyone. There isn't any. Jews found out the hard way what could happen to them, no one offered them jack s**. Almost all countries restricted Jewish immigration before and during the holocaust.

The Palestinian predicament can be solved with fair compensation to the refugees and resettlement, a Palestinian state beside Israel in the 67 border and an end to hostilities. But they have to give up the will to destroy Israel and they can't do that it seems to me.
