It's important to keep in mind how these decisions are made. The panel of people who interviewed you each give feedback and that feedback is aggregated together by the hiring manager (and possibly other leadership) to make a decision. If there is consensus in the group (in either direction) that decision is easy. If the group is split but nobody has very strong opinions, probably it will be an easy decline. If however, there is a strong difference of opinion: some folks advocating for you and others against, then they might want another round to focus specifically on the points of contention.

Also, as others have pointed out, it's not clear what a "round" means to you. Where I work, we typically have two rounds: Screening (typically 2 meetings), and full panel (6-8 meetings). Before Covid, the full panel round was done in-person in a single day. Now it might be spread out, but it's still one round. Meetings between the candidate and the recruiter don't count as a round.
Since you knew it was a CR2032 I assumed you were already familiar with it.
When I see Alban Berg on the front page of HN, it really tells me I'm in the right place. I consider him, Webern, and Schoenberg as the "end" of western classical music. It's like the whole field ran into the brick wall of their work and never made it past.
I think it would likely increase the exodus of GPs and exacerbate the problem rather than ease it.
The algorithm is considerably more complicated than that. Somebody would have to get ahold of several of my passwords (and the names of the services they lead to) to figure out my algorithm. For that to happen, someone would have to invest a large amount of resources to specifically target me, in which case I probably have bigger problems to worry about than some relatively low-stakes online accounts getting compromised. For extremely sensitive accounts (eg. bank, primary email) my passwords do not follow this scheme.

Remember, the vast majority of password reuse attacks are automatic credential stuffing, not deliberate, individual targeting.
Five interview rounds?? When did applying for a job become a job itself? I feel bad putting candidates through three (recruiter screening, me, a second opinion from someone educated in the position)...

The decision says that no one can be considered the author of that picture, as copyright only protects human creative works. It is possible that the work infringes someone else's copyright (the decision doesn't address this point at all), but unless that happens, the image is in the public domain and you can freely copy it.

Note that, unlike patents and trademarks, copyright doesn't require registration. The court could have found that, while the AI can't assert copyright, the copyright still exists and belongs to the owner of the AI or the designer of the AI etc. Instead, they found that the work can't be protected by copyright, since it is not the product of human creativity.

Edit: here is a citation from the article that I'm basing the previous assertions on:

> Both in its 2019 decision and its decision this February, the USCO found the “human authorship” element was lacking and was wholly necessary to obtain a copyright, Engadget’s K. Holt wrote. Current copyright law only provides protections to “the fruits of intellectual labor” that “are founded in the creative powers of the [human] mind,” the USCO states.
I'm not sure if I recall correctly but I thought the ipod-based iphone was more to have some of the engineering teams contribute to certain parts without expanding the number of people that needed to know the top secret parts.
What do you mean? USB-C is covered by the same trademark licensing scheme (that isn't technically needed if you don't use the USB logo and use your chip's default vendor ID) as USB-A is, a $6000 one-time + $5000/year payment to USB-IF.
Exactly, that's also why I made the change.
> In the long term however competition between these different standards will cause consolidation and overall technology improvement.

If you think that’s a superior solution, then the regulation should actually support it: require that all EV charging connectors have a free published specification, disallow patents on them, and require that interoperability be permitted without cost or other penalty. (e.g. anyone should be able to implement both ends of the Tesla supercharging protocol such that Tesla’s chargers would charge a competing car at the same prices that they charge Tesla’s; similarly, a competing charger should be able to charge a Tesla.)
I like the theory that Apple is trying to keep Lightning on their phones until they can make an entirely wireless iPhone happen, but the failure of AirPower [1] was likely a factor in delaying this transition further than planned.

Seen a few mentions of edge messaging recently, but what is it really?
If I'm not mistaken, metrics-server (which we also have deployed on our cluster) only gives information about the resource usage and state of the containers and/or pods of your cluster from a high level perspective. It won't give you precise and detailed info about the internals of your application process, ie which functions in your business logic code are responsible for how much CPU or RAM usage. So although metrics-server is very useful in its own right, it doesn't cover all needs and usages.
I’d just have it. Every extra round is also additional investment on their end. Good sign, if they don’t offer past that many, it will be frustrating, but most probably better for you.

That's a pretty unpersuasive argument.

By your argument anyone who is in favor or reducing child molestation is indirectly advocating Orwellian levels of state surveillance because some people that want such surveillance might use reducing child molestation as one of their arguments for it.

Similarly anyone that argues for reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions to fight climate change is indirectly advocating for a dystopian future where the government monitors everything we do at a fine grained level because people who do want such a dystopian future might use reducing greenhouse gas emissions as one of their justifications.

And what about building bike paths and walkable neighborhoods and public transit? Also indirectly promoting the surveillance state. They make it easier for people to live in dense car-free neighborhoods, and the denser the population the easier it is to surveil them. Dense housing means you neighbors hear more, and those neighbors might be informing the State. Public transit like buses and trains will have cameras (for safety they claim) but really just make it easier for them to track the movements of many people at once.

You definitely need a biz partner you can count on. Unless you have a family situation that encourages & helps this sort of endeavor.

When someone burns you, don't go back to him / her for the second go around! Even if that person is a good friend. That's what I've learned. Alternative version of this is don't start a company with someone who is a newly minted millionaire & is single, not sure of what to do next in life, and not all that interested in money.
Phones break and get lost/stolen.

All of us--and I include myself although I try to have some backup information on paper--have probably become too dependent on a single physical device which sucks in more and more information every year. See ongoing digitization of driver's licenses.

Especially for international travel, but really generally, I try to make it so I'm not completely screwed if something were to happen to my phone.

To be clear, nobody is proposing confiscation. Once regulated, the value of these assets will presumably fall. People invested in casino bonds don't have a magic claim to restitution when gambling laws are updated.
>People can help with firefly conservation by avoiding pesticides

Mine family was one of the few that didn't, but mine was the parent that got cancer, it's one of the reasons I believe in universal healthcare.
Move to Germany. Probably you had to move a bit earlier for you to enjoy the full parental leave here, but grandparents will be a great support.

Do not worry much about the small village, actually use the opportunity (lower costs) to invest in your German (learn as much as you can with classes and talking with the people around you).

Quality of life in Germany is much better than in the USA. Kita places are hard to find in Berlin, but you will be probably more lucky in a small town.

When you daughter will be 6 she will start school, and in Germany kids cannot skips school days, so you will be forced to stay put except for the short holidays during the year (when everybody is travelling too), my suggestion is to see Bavaria as a starting point to visit Italy, Austria, Germany and other countries around (at least for the first years).

Regarding careers as SWE you both should not have any problem. Worst case scenario they will require you to go to the office for a couple of days once the pandemic is finished, but it will be quite hard to enforce that :)

Also your kids will not do shooters drills in school

You realize that in many countries, credit cards are not common? People pay for things online with their debit card all the time.

Not all consumers need or want transaction reversibility, especially if they trust the contracts they are using, like depositing tokens into a DEX contract address that has not changed for several years - this has an extremely low counterparty risk.

A VISA- or PayPal-like reversible payment system is definitely possible to build on ETH as a rollup that takes a 1-5% fee of all transactions in order to cover cost of chargebacks. Many applications already support various forms of transaction reversal in their contracts, look at USDC.

Penalize you for the collateral damage you caused. Bitcoin has consumed a lot of energy and greatly contributed to global warming. In addition, it has led to a bunch of fraud. In addition, it has made ransomware much more common.

The world is worse off because of Bitcoin and because people like you invested in it.

Ask HN: Gmail less secure apps no longer available?
I had been using the "less secure apps" remote SMTP login for some basic notification stuff (so it's not high risk by any means).

The SMTP login has on occasion stopped working in the past (Google just turns it off automatically), in which case I'd simply log in to the gmail account and re-enable less secure apps.

But now all of a sudden (as of today) I can no longer enable less secure apps. It's not longer a clickable feature.

Is this a new Gmail policy?

I didn't get notified about it.
I think it's a mistake to sort people into such clearly delineated personas, especially if you're going to make judgments about them being driven by "fear" or "joy".

Somebody could be very intrinsically driven by the pursuit of truth, but still appreciate the importance of politics in increasing earnings and status and thus outwardly appear to your 2nd type.

Those same people might "struggle in entrepreneurship" with regards to inventing wholly new ideas, but be good at fundraising or copying. (Let's make it an NFT...) Just something to consider.

They hardcode their IP into IE/Edge and Windows as the host for that domain, ignoring what the blockchain says.

Or more likely, in partnership with other big tech with similar concerns, they develop an infrastructure that permits blocking/revoking/overriding specific domains, that most clients would refer to in preference to the blockchain. This would be fairly easy to justify on grounds of security and crime.

Or they just don't support the blockchain stuff in the first place, because the current system mostly works and provides a legal process for disputes which they are content with.
We're only now discovering that a significant chunk of society is not cis, because we've been forcing them to hide this fact over the past centuries because of religious anachronisms. Why assume it's different with polyandry?
> Global trends are more troublesome

That's exactly my point. It doesn't matter if one country becomes completely carbon neutral. We're screwed anyways if oil extraction continues unabated. It's easy to play around with different numbers to find ones that are favorable, but you can't hide the fact that fossil fuel extraction hasn't gone down. Unless it rapidly slows, and then stops, we're screwed, no matter which countries emit less carbon. And no matter which populations are more "efficient."
Interviewing is such a crapshoot of luck. You can prep all you want, but if you get a grumpy interviewer or a challenge out of your wheelhouse things can go south and there's no way to show you're better.

Wish there was a better way.
Not to mention, you can't map out "work" as one monolithic activity. Machine learning to delivering pizza.

I also don't think you should conflate society as a whole with an empathy-based irrational class of highly compensated knowledge workers.

If you take pizza delivery for example this is really just an argument about the number of hours per week for mandatory overtime as practically all non-knowledge work is best measured in hours of labor.

Lowering this to 32 hours for pizza delivery is rewarding economies of scale that can better absorb higher labor cost. Rewarding Pizza Hut at the expense of the locally owned pizza place that goes out of business.

Pretty much in line with economist Joseph Schumpeter 100 year old prediction about the end of capitalism in that that our capitalist system will be so successful that it will create a class of people with so much leisure time that this class has nothing much to do other than to try to improve the system and in turn destroys it.
My experience is biased since I work in technology, but:

- the actuaries and economists I worked with used calculus, statistics, and linear algebra (even if software did the calculations)

- the mechanical and electronics engineers I worked with used calculus, control theory, and signal theory (even if software did the calculations)

- SDEs use type theory and category theory (and the equivalence of them), as well as implementing the math above (even if libraries did the calculations) and things such as discrete math and graph theory to reason about data structures

For people I haven’t worked with, but know:

- biotech workers use calculus concepts and statistics

- Boeing engineers use calculus, statistics, and complicated simulations

- physicists have a whole bucket of mathematics they use

This is one of the things I struggle most with. At times I feel like people can't see me and I don't really exist. Social / communication struggles keeps me isolated because I struggle to explain / ask for the help I need.

I have stopped asking for help because I'm so discouraged that either people will say no (why are you asking for help / do it yourself / you don't need help), or they will suggest unhelpful things that are gratifying for them to say (it worked for me / I'm so great so this will work / heres what you NEED to do ) but unrealistic / not applicable to me.

You are correct. Those BankID physical devices have tamper switches that erase RAM on device opening.

An alternative is debit card bankid (as a smartcard, then add Mobile BankID back), but it's being deprecated soon.
I'd like to echo what the other commenters said when they say consider the education of your kids. I'm from the US, but student taught in Germany while I studied abroad. The quality of the education and the sheer amount of resources Germany gives its youth is something to be admired. They will receive a quality education, have recess, and have extra curricular activities that are holistically incorporated into their education. They will not have standardized tests shoved down their throats from a young age (though there are standardized tests in Germany but their purpose and implementation is much different), active shooter drills, and lack of resources (think school counselors, textbooks, food, extra curricular activities).

My experience is based off of working in 4 different schools in the Berlin area over the course of 6 months, so my experience in limited. German society is far from perfect, there are many valid criticisms of how they do things there. But, having experienced both the US and Germany there is almost no comparison in terms of how young people are brought up.

As far as your salary goes, I hear you. I'd like to return to Germany, but know I'll make far more money in the USA. I have heard that senior devs in Berlin can crack the 100k euro mark, though there are taxes to consider. I would still say it's worth it. You will have time to spend with your kids, you won't be worked to death, you'll be seen as a human being and not simply a cog. There are some exceptions to that, some German companies genuinely suck while some US companies are great with their work/life balance. But, your chances of finding a healthy balance will be much higher in Germany. Best of luck to you!
Hiccup: Fast library for rendering HTML in Clojure
> cannot be made interoperable without a substantial modifications is a no-no.

This sentence seems to imply that one cannot charge their non-Tesla car with the Tesla charging network without substantial modifications.

What do you mean by substantial modification? It is already possible for non-Tesla cars, in the United States, to charge at Tesla destination chargers with an adapter: https://qccharge.com/collections/jdapter-stub™-tesla-station...

There isn’t anything particular magic about Tesla Superchargers, either. A simple adapter+some API for the app will open it right up.

I’m not against standardization, btw.

This is clearly the answer.

Every other comment is here is just some HN commentary on the interview process and what is appropriate or not.

Ignore the noise of the commentary - if it offends you that they are asking you for another interview go find another job it's probably not going to be a good fit for you as you are starting out on a slightly aggrieved position.

I also don't see many positive outcomes in which you say to your next team that you are working with: "I've given you enough time to make a decision, make it" - it also puts you in a bad place to start your relationship.

Is it annoying? Probably and maybe be emblematic of a poorly run team could also just be that everyone seems to be struggling with hiring these days.
You can raise the bar a bit. No one checks to see if a $5 bill is fake. There is no real upper limit on what the payout for a deepfake could be. TPM isnt going to save facial recognition ID like the IRS from being obsoleted by deepfakes. But, for things that go to trial a TPM dashcam with tamper evident packaging (that can be inspected during trial) is probably good enough for small claims court. You could add GPS spoof detection, put as much as you can on the tpm chip (like the accelerometer), and sign all sorts of available data along with the video, but that will up the unit price a lot, and for the kind of fraudulent payouts you'd be trying to stop, you wouldn't make it enough harder to keep it from being cost effective for the fakers.
