I think this is an important point. If this is part of an interview strategy, it would be important to delineate what's "asshole" behavior and what's merely brusque or blunt (which would be an interesting document to read).

I come from a culture where directness and argumentation are valued over deference to seniority or authority. In some contexts, or by some people, this can be mistaken for rudeness, when really it's just a mode of solving problems.

It's important to know what culture you're dealing with and act appropriately. I might bite my tongue or code-switch if I know I'm dealing with a very conservative/authoritarian culture where it's less important for me to be myself or solve a problem than it is to have people like me. But having other candidates like you rather than solve problems is not usually the main point of a job interview, so creating unwritten tests like this with parameters involves some deceit.

It also goes to the WASP distaste or disdain for the Jewish style of discourse. Historically, someone at IBM saying a candidate was brusque could quite easy be code for saying they were Jewish.

It does something though, it compresses inequalities because not everything is done by people paid a minimum wage.

There are instances in which people pay to work --- "finders' fees", "placement", various assessments to supply tools, (mandatory) uniforms, station rental, etc. Involuntary servitude still exists, even in advanced countries, though it is illegal, usually as "white slavery", mostly immigrant sex workers.

$0 is not the lower limit.
From my armchair's perspective, Meta has started to look to me a lot like the IBM of social media so I don't find this very surprising if true.
Note, however, that this is not the current version of the standard. The current standard requires paying money to ISO (who are the big baddies in this story and not Adobe—they have all their standards locked behind a paywall). That said, this version is probably adequate for most needs.
That looks like a fair bit of boilerplate, and a shitty tutorial with comments that mostly just repeat what the code says, but the API doesn't look unusable.

It's wonderful if you can weed out a person who treats others badly, I really can't see why it would matter if it's because some real or imagined condition causes them to be an asshole, or because being an asshole is allegedly okay in their culture.

Any promo process with any randomness (especially a promo process that changes over time as upper management changes) is effectively a stochastic version of "promo after N years after not being fired." I don't worry much about promos, but still randomly get promos because the stuff I found important for a few years was also nicely slotted into the promo standards at the time. And the obsession on titles and such book-cover-like triva does seem to get worse the more they try to systematize the process. When it's clearly equivalent to rolling dice, people worry less about it. The more rigorous they make the process and the more they have panels and packets and so on, the more people start introducing each other with their title. My first ten years in software, no one cared about titles at all unless you met with a non-engineering org and met dumb people with an exalted titles (in which case you felt bad; titles only serve to harm morale, they never improve it). The last ten years, people act like becoming Senior Principal Staff Engineer is like becoming a different sort of human. It does correlate with more pay, so it's hard to say it's completely trivial, but honestly, once you can afford a house or whatever, it's less important to happiness than fulfilling work, good co-workers, flexibility to meet your family or parenting obligations, autonomy over your work, and so on. One imagines one gets more autonomy by having a grander title, but really you get autonomy by just exercising the autonomy you have by being in control of the scarce and valuable resource of being able to create and improve software systems. If what you find important is valued by the organization you work in, then it will work out that people trust you, no matter the levels.

I'm curious how Airbnb specifically is solving it. I can think of four bookings off the top of my head--expensive ones--where they've missed out on my money because the hosts solicited offers to circumvent the platform. It's worked out fine for me each time.

Yeah I feel like every day there's an article on HN about how we're moving back to the old days without client-side frameworks. Except that's not true at all. People are still writing in React/Vue/Svelte, but now there's tooling that allows it to run on the server as well (SSR). Client-side frameworks are playing a bigger role than ever before. And there was no gas-lighting in the 2010's, SPAs are still here and many still use <div id=root>, even with SSR.

We are seeing a bit of reduction in client-side bloat due to bundlers and compilers like Webpack or Svelte, but the value of client-side frameworks was never to add bloat to the client anyways. It was always about making it easier to write complex user features. So they provided things like better composability, better state management, etc. So when tools come along that provide the same benefits, while reducing client-side bloat, then of course the industry starts moving.

I think there's also a slight sampling bias in HN because 90% of the posts here are articles and blog posts, both of which can be written in static html. So of course there's going to be blogs boasting about how they got away without a javascript framework. But the majority of internet users aren't browsing blogs, they're spending time on big web apps like Facebook and Youtube. And those web apps benefit greatly from these frameworks.
Though boilerplate is never acceptable, most of that is constant-factor overhead, not per-triangle overhead, and tutorialspoint is not a site you should trust under any circumstances. See my links above for better sources.

If you put more vertices and indices in Step 2 you can draw an arbitrarily complex 3-D object with this same code.

And there's a lot of stuff in GLSL where you can program directly with high-level concepts like vectors, normals, and partial derivatives, instead of expressing them by hand the way you would in C.

>There's no room for giving the benefit of the doubt in this context.

really depends on the candidate and the situation. We dont have the context for neither here. If a truly senior candidate who has deep domain knowledge interviews, they may not be dinged as much if they gave a service worker a low tip or complained about the smell of the car.

But sure, for some college candidate in a yearly hiring spree that are all from top schools, maybe that is the little bit of a filter needed to make a difference.

Hostile integrations using scripts to obtain financial data is trivial. Frameworks such as:

https://github.com/teampoltergeist/poltergeist

is an excellent example of such a framework. Implementing "bank drivers" using such frameworks would not be difficult.

Plaid and others seem to have done an awesome job scaling the hostile integration pattern. However, the idea that Stripe decided to build this in-house rather than rely on Plaid is perfectly reasonable.

After all, the tools to implement such a product are well known.
We should have a $0 minimum wage, but the arguments for it are not nearly as straightforward or compact. But they are, I think, much more humanitarian than people trying to fiddle with where to cut-off work. I will try to put them as compactly as possible with a few counter-example questions.

What if a 16 year old wants to partly make money, partly learn the ropes of some job, and some place could use "some" help but not get meaningfully enough work to pay a kid [$X min wage]? Right now, these kids and businesses are out of luck. This would make them even more worse off.

What if a 60 year old is feeling lonely and wants to be a greeter or lecter or something helpful, and they need this meaning and sociability more than they need money, but it is not worth [$X min wage] for 99% of places to have such a job? Right now, these old folk and businesses are out of luck.

The sheer amount of work you exclude when you require all jobs to be [minmimum | livable | comfortable] is huge. Just enormous. Not everyone is trying to strike it out on their own. Some people want to help in small ways and are fine with commensurate pay. Why force these jobs out of existence? Are you sure doing so is solving the problem you want to solve, while creating no others?

Why do people think money is the only operative thing here, or the only one ever possible, for all possible jobs for all possible people? It suggests a lack of imagination that I find a little frightening.

I have written about this in a very circumspect way in a few places before, because I think people have trouble with the straightforward argument. One of them got popular here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27695181

One potential solution: the government pays the workers a part of difference between what their wage and $25/h based on various criteria. If you live with your millionaire parents, the fraction is zero. If you are the only wage earner in a family of four, the fraction is 1.

Something similar happened in my first job out of college.

During an interview, the person goes over a problem related to graphs. Then asks me if I could come up with a solution. I told him I had trouble following the details and the interview wasn't long enough for me to both figure that out and solve the problem.

I still got the job. I still don't know why he asked it of me. Eventually I found out that it was an actual problem he was trying to solve for work, and it relied upon a lot of domain specific knowledge that I didn't have at the time.
Hard to listen to someone talk about semiconductor/IC supply without mentioning China's cornering and hording of the semiconductor/IC market.

There are bottlenecks in all electronic assemblies. Processors, crystals, specialized chips, etc. Things you just can't substitute. China identified many bottlenecks and strategically bought the entire supply. For thousands of items.

Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of electronic components. Then they marked them all up 100x and are now selling them back to us.

Supposedly they are just "Chinese brokers", but the scale is far too large not to be government sponsored.

Here's an example: MKL27Z128VFT4 NXP Kinetis ARM Cortex M0+ Microcontroller. You haven't been able to buy these for over a year now. And it will be another year before you can buy any. They used to go for $2.50.

Brokers have 215,000 pieces in stock[0]. Mostly in China. (The US brokers have tied themselves into the Chinese broker inventory.) Average price now: $100 each.

> a person who is knowledgeable enough that raising minimum wage paid in fiat currency does nothing

Are you being hyperbolic here or are you actually arguing that somehow minimum wages increase inflation to the point that they're a wash and thus literally "do nothing"? Normally I'd assume the former, but since you're replying to someone who's saying people are arguing the latter, I have to at least allow the possibility you're defending the idea.

Which would be silly. An increase in the minimum wage can't increase the money supply, and can't create global inflation on its own. And any effects like this could only really happen if the whole economy were under the minimum wage, which would imply much deeper problems that couldn't possibly be solved by raising it.

I'm not sure if the Hawthorne effect applies that strongly here. It has to do with worker productivity, not behavior. In fact, this IBM test may weed out a few employees who are otherwise perfectly kind people in general public outings.
Does that means all other pay gets to inflate as well?

For example nurses, depending on education, license, and experience, can make 20-60 USD/hour.

If the min wage is 25/hour for no education and no experience jobs, surely an even wage increase across the board is fair?

So that now nurses make 30/hour USD starting wage and all other jobs and careers receive similar increases?
> I don’t have to pay federal taxes and only pay state which is like 18%

This sounds a bit off. California state income tax tops out at 13.3%, and the vast majority of folks owe less. Even if you include SDI/VPDI, that's only an additional 1.1% in 2022.

The most common tax exemption for foreigners is an exemption from FICA taxes (Social Security + Medicare) [1], which commonly applies to certain folks with F/J/M/Q visas. But generally, they still owe both federal and state income taxes. In fact, as nonresident aliens, their effective federal income tax rate can be a bit higher due to not having the standard deduction and certain other tax benefits.

Another relatively common benefit is the various tax treaties [2]. This may provide some relief from federal income tax, depending on the country and the visa status, but not necessarily a total exemption.
