Ask HN: How do small to medium startup hires?
To give you a background, I am a second year CS student. I was recently contacted by a company which just had it's series A funding. The HR recruited me (probably solely because of keywords in resume). Now, I wonder how startups hire, since they have to allocate money judiciously, especially the seed stage startups. What I believe is that not only do you have to choose people who are good at technical aspect, but also someone who gets along with the team. Also eager to know if startups consider other aspects too.

Do founders regret their decisions during their early hirings?

so
1) what is the paradigm that is being followed nowadays by seed and series A startups to hire the right candidate?
2) are the HRs inept?
3) what aspects these early startups are looking for, from a candidate?

these questions might be very straight forward, but bear with me since I am a student. eager to see constructive discussions!
M1 was built by the PA Semi team, acquired in 2008 [0]. They build the A series chips in the iPhone, I would argue that M1 would not exist without them, furthermore, M1 was not a Cook endeavor. For the watch, it looks like the first key hire was in 2013, but there is a chance that it was not all Steve's work [1]

When Private Equity Becomes Your Landlord
USPS is already the agent for a national id program in all but name — passports and passport cards, which are much better than DMV issues credentials in many ways.

As another poster mentioned, the problem is that both progressive and conservative constituencies are strongly against meaningful national identity for different reasons, some of which are insane.

It’s a policy problem that won’t be solved in our lifetime. Our best bet long term is for states to issue mobile credentials, but even that is problematic because it will disenfranchise people.

I can't use Vue 3 in production until Vuetify is close to ready (which it's currently not).

How is Apple legally on the hook for a product that they don’t sell in a given country?

How are the Dutch going to come after Apple if they don’t have a presence in the country?
If it’s not the biggest, you have attained a measure of wealth, good on you.
That’s unbelievable and makes no sense.

Why would you cumulate overnight repos…
If you're poor it tends to look like "How many houses could a person want?"

If you're rich, it looks like "Everyone else, especially governments, sucks at allocating resources. I will do a better job."

And here's the kicker, being extremely wealthy is the result of being good at the skill of resource allocation.
I don't think Peter Thiel is in it for the money, not anymore anyway. He is fairly straightforward and has talked about his motivations in various long-form interviews over the years. In my observation, his actions are aligned with his motivations that he has expressed.

Partisan media assigns fabricated evil motivations to explain his actions, like they do with everyone who they view as not on their side. People who get their idea of him from these sources have distorted view of him.
Thanks! I like having these to compare my projects to.
I've used both extensively now. Out of the two I prefer React. I'd describe Vue as more bells and whistles, less safeguards. I think developers prefer Vue because it doesn't get in your way like React does (despite React having very good reasons for getting your way!)
Recently had some success with a service where I collect about 4 cents per item. This is only feasible because Algorand fees are like 1/10th of a penny. People mint hundreds or thousands at a time so it's adding up a little bit.

It's really more my main thing along with a few tiny contracts but those are hopefully also spawning two other services with per-transaction fees.
By all means, learn to automate ditch-digging. That is certainly useful. If it's also your job, perhaps you'll notice there's just a higher-order ditch to be dug. If so, what's the next move? Automate the automation of the ditch-to-be-dug, or start writing a blog about first-order ditch-digging automation? Or shill for a company who furnishes ditch-digging tools?

In which case, I'd suggest learning how to write in a way that doesn't channel Dan Brown blog-shit (section header every two paragraphs vs. two-to-three pages a chapter). Or learn to write ad copy, or talk about using VAX systems to fill out the preamble to your chili recipe. Even failing that, I suppose you've reached your no-code solution out of ditch-digging.
It is significantly faster, see benchmarks. Also more concise/ergonomic and declarative.

What I liked about Vue was that it was a simple view library. Yeah, there it goes.

There seems to be a hatred towards simple tools in our generation that I can't fathom
I echo OPs coup de grace statements.

The underpinning failure of FB is indicated by

- ad-revenue (97% of FB's revenue) has an uncertain growth-perspective (as seen with the iOS privacy updates)

- Metaverse and VR in general (highlight Zuck's desperate, decade-long search for a new tech-moat) is a fad that is not going mainstream anytime soon

- inability to lead libra into success

All of these failures may seem unconnected but what ties them together is a deep underlying distrust of the company itself by the public
LOL, i would pay money to watch this in real time. another suggestive Thiel anecdote:
after PayPal IPO'd the team threw a party to celebrate and he was said to have run a 10 game simultaneous (Thiel would play ten different games, moving through each board one move at a time, down the line) and was only beat by one person (David Sacks). after losing, he flipped the board and apparently responded to being called a sore loser with "show me a great loser and i'll show you a loser."

It is not sloppy accounting. The fact of the matter is that every citizen in the world could do all of the "green" things in their daily lives that they can and it would barely tick the needle on emissions down.

A person's "carbon footprint" cannot extend all the way to pouring the base of the factory that produces the gas in their car, in the same way that buying clothes at the GAP cannot condemn you for child slavery that the corporation benefits from. You cannot put the onus for ethical business on the end consumer when the corporation pursues and benefits from unethical behavior.

This is a problem that must be solved from the top down, and corporate messaging to saddle the responsibility on the end user is ridiculous.
I think the difficulty is that the (federal) government can't currently do anything except the "something you know" part. It can't use "something you have" (because too many people are opposed to federal government issued ID), and "something you are" appears beyond the scope of the federal govt to implement (correctly) at this time.
It is really easy to switch to Tidal using tunemymusic. The audio quality is better and the artists will get the royalties instead of podcast hosts you never listened to. Still works with android auto and the UX is pretty much a clone of Spotify so the learning curve is very low. The migration dropped about 1% of songs from my playlists but nothing I'll actually miss.
They did no such thing. JRE requested the removal of those episodes.
I have one of these smart displays. I love the look of it, fits in with my decor in my kitchen. And this update pisses me the fuck off.

What do you think of htmx[0]? It feels like something that could actually fit into the HTML standard.

Yep, it seems like a bizarre relic of a bygone era. This actually made me wonder if there's any place else in the government with this requirement. As far as I know, it only applies to the president. But what about the Vice President? He or she could be promoted if the president leaves. Then what about the Speaker of the House (3rd in line and I believe there is literally no requirement for the job; they're not even required to be a member of the house). I'm sure someone's thought through this already and there's a plan in place, but I never had.
Fighting criminals and killing evil people is considered moral.

The police could argue that the they are moral by taking drug money from drug offenders, and using a no knock warrant To catch a criminal.... and as a matter of fact that's exactly what is argued.

Many Indian people consider it immoral to eat a cow but that's moral in America.

The Germans viewed the Jewish people as evil and so the guards could have believed they were doing something moral at Nuremberg.

Morality is vague and hard to pin down.

The law doesn't reflect morality but morality isn't objective, so that's good.

Laws are supposed to be purely utilitarian and functional and to represent what society as a whole views as the correct way to keep the machinery of society running smoothly.
that's an interesting application of tarot. hopefully my comment didn't come across as belittling such a novel, non-supernatural use.
The thing is, the software platforms are completely different. The smart displays market right now is a hot mess. Only Google's or Amazon's should be purchased.
99% of people wouldn't dare taking Google to court, because they use Google services and if Google decides to close their accounts and stop doing business with them going forward, they stand to lose much more than the price of the device.
I love this.

When I first started taking guitar seriously, after years of kid piano lessons, I really struggled to "find" notes. I mostly play both by ear and by visual shape, not by intervals or reading staves. So while taking jazz music theory courses I eventually sat down at a piano with a guitar in my lap, played the note on the keys to find the note on the fretboard, and then carefully drew out a scale map exactly like the one you have here for every mode I wanted to learn. Knowing what "shape" a scale had from the root has been enormously useful while improvising at my (still) intermediate level. I have kept that piece of notebook paper I wrote out for over 20 years now. This is a much finer implementation!

My only initial feedback is to put some of the logarithmic visual compression between frets into the visuals. This is a visual learning tool and visually the fretboard is not evenly spaced. Also, maybe dot markers?
Thank you, I was looking for something exactly like this yesterday. How does it compare to Nuxt 3?
Yes, the (progressive) youth was always protesting - what's odd is that suddenly the government is taking those protests at top priority when for the longest time, they were mostly ignored.

While the issues are real, the timing seems very convenient.
Higher interest rates reduce the money supply and generally slow inflation. So if you don't like inflation, you should support higher interest rates.
My anonimity is huge contributing factor to my sense of privacy.

I don't care if you seen my dick if you have no way of knowing it was mine.
I appreciate the EFF injecting their take on this case. I'm not an app store developer at the moment so I have no skin in the game re Epic vs Apple, but I do feel developers shouldn't have to pay almost 1/3 of their gross revenue to phone makers or any directory of apps for sale for a service they could find quality versions of elsewhere for a low single-digit cut.

I see it as akin to turning indie developers into a renter class, and Apple's recent 27% fee reduction feels really condescending towards the developers that bring a wide diversity of choice and capability to their hardware.
I've used it a fair amount. Some cool features for sure. I love how you can copy and paste workflows from their docs / forum.

For some reason I can never fully grok how data is moved around from node to node. (Or at least remember when I come back after many months)

(e.g.: items[0].json.data)

The problem I have with it, is just not enough integrations. That's really the secrete sauce behind zapier. They have _so many_ integrations with a million different services.
> Would you have figured out that the solution to the problem was to omit the - factually correct - return type of the method?

While I would not be able to figure out the solution to this problem from the error message alone, I would gather from it that typescript is telling me here that it cannot guarantee that it will satisfy the type contract, i.e. that the function will return a thing of the same generic type T as it received. This is useful information in debugging the type declaration of the function.
At this point Rogan is the battlefield in the culture war. Massive arrays of leftist political and financial power have aligned against him. They've begun scrutinizing every comment he has ever made, and they compile what they find into potent propaganda videos. And they won't stop until he's completely booted off the platform. I am very close to a number of these people and they can't really tell you WHY they suddenly hate Rogan so much, but they want him cancelled, and they want YOU cancelled if you disagree.

Spotify's CEO has publicly come out in support of Rogan. Highly doubt that Twitter likes that. I'm virtually certain that they are planning a counter campaign, this time not just aimed at Rogan but at the CEO as well.

In general, it does seem that authoritarian leftist forces are seizing on the pandemic as an excuse to clamp down on rights and silence any dissent. Batten down the hatches folks, because by my estimation, either we are about to slide into true 1984 territory, or the "freedom convoy" movement is about to go global.

Why the need for a perfect gyroscope that can spin for 24 hours? Why not use a motor to counteract the slow-down without affecting the rotation? Science museums sometimes do this to their Foucault Pendulums so they don't need to keep re-swinging them: https://www.pugetsound.edu/about-puget-sound-0/leadership/20...
Yup, same here. I think it was because it's one of those "infinite scrolling" pages, where when you've scrolled down to the end of the article another begins (and the URL in the address bar has also magically changed).

Yet another reason to hate that shit.
How is this handling usernames? I understand doing this is actually hard if you want them to replace the issues that are carried with phone numbers (i.e. being able to connect with an identity through cross referencing). And of course, birthday problems.
I'm surprised, too. I'm happy they took their time as Vue 2 was/is still a great framework, but I probably would have chosen Vue 2 for some projects had I known it would take this long to get Vue 3 out the door.
Thank you. Great job btw, lifebit could do some real good! Same idea for me too. If I can manage to make a clean exit on my existing business, medicine R&D will be where I will spend the rest of my time.

This is cool, thanks for posting!

I noticed a bug, not sure where to post feedback so posting here. When you change the vertical order the string labels don't change so it's unclear which way it is. The fret number markers do update when you change the left/right order, though, that one is more important.

Chairs can't act, they can only be passively sat upon.
These days 2.5GbE is becoming much more common, as is 5G and 10G to a lesser extent. A bigger driver of it is actually Wifi 6 and newer that actually need better than 1G to be able to give full theoretical speed over wifi.
I think it only really comes up for debate when someone wants to question the eligibility of Presidential candidates for political reasons. I recall a rather minor kerfuffle around McCain’s eligibility (born in the Panama Canal Zone when it was under US Jurisdiction) back in the ‘08 election that was basically meaningless and I think then Senator Obama sponsored a bill that basically clarified this.

There’s two sources of law for determining citizenship though: 1. The Constitution and 2. Laws that Congress passes. If you’re born a citizen according to either of these sources, congrats, you’re a natural born citizen.
One doesn't have to defend Gawker to think that what Peter Theil did was atrocious.
I really hope you do.
Or none of them. Buying anything marketed as “smart” seems like a bad idea these days.
> The GME centered group left WSB because there was a new mod who didn't fit the WSB philosophy. There were some personal hypothesis about her(?). They even alleged I believe that mod made their adolescent child a mod of WSB who were also removing content left and right.

You are confused. This has nothing to do with WSB.

What you are describing happened solely on r/SuperStonk or the other GME subreddits.

WSB has never had a child moderator.
Anyone who is boiling down media content to "spreading antivax sentiments, disinformation, racism and hate" is almost certainly repeating nonsense they've heard, and it's clear that this commenter has either never listened to a JRE episode or is purposefully being disingenuous.
OK – well first of all congratulations on your recent success, but a word of warning. I have fully quit from cannabis before, though in my case this would be the first time it has not been prompted by some external circumstance. I have also gotten over the initial hump and felt a distinct improvement in clarity, memory etc. In my experience this can almost a high in itself – when you're swimming up to your ears in THC every day, as we have, the upsides of going without are very apparent once you get past the distress of the first week or so. I once saw a comedian very amusingly compare it to acquiring ESP: "hey, I know exactly where my car keys are!" However, after you get over the novelty of ordinary sobriety, you may find (as I have, repeatedly) that as that novel sense fades, you may get hit with a unexpected and possibly profound sense of craving, almost a deep nostalgia for weed. This I have no real insight on, it's a life challenge I suppose and one I have never seriously taken on yet though perhaps I'm starting to now. But I'll advise you to stay alert and look out for that second wave of longing.

Thank you and good luck!
Are they still giving out those decoder cards?
It .. really doesn't. (Sure, probably a tiny bit more than Python.)

It's not static types FP like Haskell/Scala (or even TS), as it just recently started gaining some type safety, and while it had map/reduce call_user_func, it wasn't that big in PHP world.

It simply has/had too much mutability for it, and most PHP practice focused on trying to implement OOP ideas in it in a nice way.
One thing that has helped to make progress against progressive supranuclear palsy, not as rare as KS, but still quite rare, is that it has properties that are ideal for testing potential Alzheimers drugs. PSP patients have anomalous quantities of one of the two proteins that turn up in Alzheimers patients, so they are ideal for separating the effects of new therapies.

So, a win-win emerges: PSP patients get well-funded clinical trials of therapies designed to address their affliction and the entire world gets improved understanding of therapies that target Alzheimers.

If there is something special about KS that allows it to be a diagnostic for therapies in adjoining disease with broader impact, then suddenly an avenue opens for intense investment in therapies for KS.
I think it's important to focus on "expensive" and not "placebo" in that statement. If a placebo is all that's needed (or all that we can do), then arguably it shouldn't be expensive.
Then you take them court yet again this time for discrimination.

Also this is not a thing that can happen I think. Like for example epic vs Apple. Apple didn’t have the ability to close down all accounts of epic.
Hopefully now that it is the default, more UI libraries will focus their efforts on it.
"Women are too emotionally volatile to have real discussions, unlike logical male members of human society. Guess the only thing to do is codify that male behavior and views be the prescribed behavior for all people who wish to be taken seriously. It's clear that whatever so called 'problems' the lesser sex claim to deal with are just self-inflicted hysterias."

TL;DR of that article. Seriously, it's almost hilarious how anachronistic the whole article read, I half expected a portion to talk about the dangers of women wearing pants or taking the train. I read to the very end to make sure this wasn't a full on satire of 20th century social mores.
This is me. I really don't like using frameworks/libraries and want it to get baked into the standard library.
are you leveraging a framework on the backend for Go?
Look like their own support agents are unaware of the change.
Oh, good point! I wasn't really serious; it just seemed like cheap entertainment. But now consider me terrified.
How does a company like Google end up doing this? I'm assuming a decision like this has multiple stakeholders? Is there nobody in the room who is the voice of the customer?
This is a very big risk here. Parent should definitely not still have everything pointed at Gmail before they file anything.
The fact of the matter is that every citizen in the world could do all of the "green" things in their daily lives that they can and it would barely tick the needle on emissions down. The U.S. military itself is one of the worst polluters in the world.

A person's "carbon footprint" cannot extend all the way to the CO2 emitted when pouring the base of the factory that produces the gas in their car, in the same way that buying clothes at the GAP cannot condemn you for child slavery that the corporation benefits from.

You cannot put the onus for ethical business on the end consumer when the corporation pursues and benefits from unethical behavior, often times without the end consumer ever knowing about that behavior. It's ridiculous, and completely ignores the class element in the whole discussion.

This is a problem that must be solved from the top down, and corporate messaging to saddle the responsibility on the end user is disingenuous at best, incredibly maligned at worst.
I'm currently firmly in the same club as you. I have a 13' work laptop with two USB 3.0, plus one USB-C, but the thing weight is just about 2 pounds (1 kg). Booting SSD + not so much ram, but the thing flies even starting from hibernation.

Sometimes I miss having the damn LAN port, but you're right, for datacenter and field work, heavy hardware is a no go. I do know a number of people in the field using macbooks air for the work.
If that happens, that's not a disastrous thing. That means one person reveals who they're talking to in general, not just on Signal. It doesn't mean that the millions of Signal users all lose that privacy.

But no, I don't use Signal. I just think it's strange how some people can't seem to wrap their head around any of the rationale for this when it's the most transparent thing in the world. Do I like it? No, but it's ridiculous how some people pretend to be incapable of critical thinking in order to talk about how it's horrible. If something is actually horrible, being deliberately obtuse isn't needed.
Flipping the fretboard has weird effects.

The E strings are ok (the notes are E, F, Gb, etc).

But the other strings are broken (A string is A, C, Db; D string is D, Ab, A; B string is B, Bb, B, C); etc.
