The legality is "not so much" but for smaller companies they can get away with it (because small companies are unlikely to have defined titles and bands to begin with).
> but the fact remains that it is a necessity

I am interested on why people think that.

It doesn't look like a necessity to me. Ok, in a medium company, with dozens or maybe a hundred or two people, centralizing all the workflow is probably cheaper and more productive than siloing teams. But in a large company the inverse can very easily be true.
The problem with Jira is that it is checkbox software, designed to sail through the checkbox procurement processes that large organizations have. "It checks all the boxes!"

Because of this, it is basically jello. It is everything, and it is nothing.

It makes nothing simple, and encourages people to overachieve with the tool. If you overachieve with the tool, you will underachieve on what it is you're really trying to do.

This is why much simpler tools are better. They are usually free, or at least a lot less expensive, and they come with constraints that you have to live within. Usually those constraints prevent you from going tool crazy, and guide you to actually focus on getting work done instead of doing performance art with Jira.
The central problem with JIRA is that, once you've gotten beyond the overly customizable functionality and difficult-to-reason about permissions, and once you've managed to avoid organizations that go too far off of the deep-end and once you've finally found a happy simplicity in a kanban-ish board,

once you've done all of that, it is still unbelievably, unjustifiably, just incredibly and amazingly so very very goddamn slow.
That's not the link I submitted. :(
But how do you think "men" and "open" categories would work together in a sport in which men have a significant advantage? If you let people enter both then they could end up being boringly similar to each other, while neither of them generates the excitement of being the main competition, and if you force people to choose one or the other then you might end up with a weird situation in which the best two players agree to avoid each other and other players choose ... how exactly?

So I would guess that having two categories, "open" and "bona fide female", would make more sense.

Also, in tennis, do you call the "open" category "open" or is that too confusing as the word "open" is already used in a different sense?
A "true" LVT calls for land tax rate of around 80% and getting rid of all other taxes. It's a huge change from how property taxes currently work.
That number should piss you off.

The U.S. was by far the leading global agricultural exporter in 2020 with exports valued at $147.9 billion. [0]

And it's not like it's hard to get the food from where it's grown to where it's needed. The US has a navigable waterway system that is smack dab in the middle of both where the food is grown and where it is eaten by the most people. That's not a coincidence.[1]

I'm not playing semantic games about whether the households experiencing food insecurity are 'working poor' 'abject poor' or 'totally fucked poor'. It doesn't matter what you call it, it's a problem that we can solve in this country.

For me (20+ year club):

1.) Senior Dev referred me, and they had a remarkable relationship with management - informal chat and offer that afternoon

2.) Senior Dev referred me, and they had a normal relationship with management - regular interview

3.) CTO referred me - informal chat with them and the CEO, offer letter handed to me at the end of the chat with the CEO.

So I've found that it really depends on who is referring you and what type of relationship they have with the person that controls the money.

Facebook was banning people for suggesting that the "lab leak" COVID theory has merit. It was recently endorsed by the WHO.

VC funding enables the high salaries in tech. You can definitely be bootstrapped and work 4 days a week, you'll just have a hard time earning your current salary.
It's mentioned by Mihail Milchev in comment #13.

Because Facebook and their various properties have a monopoly on humanity's social fabric in a lot of places. Not participating can put you at a severe disadvantage.
The 4h take-home will narrow your funnel a lot. Most senior people will not do a free 4-hour take home. Try replacing it with a 2-hour interview by 3 people (that is, three 40-minute interviews each). One interviewer can do a hypothetical design question and the two others can do a programming question each. These do not have to be very difficult, but only to ensure that you are not hiring an architecture astronaut. If they can code and can explain a coherent design + some followup questions, the hiring manager can do a resume deep-dive and behavioral questions (all 4 people must be alert to behavioral cues).

EDIT: For a devops person, you could do one programming interview, one design interview, and another interview of various subject-specific technologies including networking, access control, alerting/monitoring and database management.

The article read a bit odd. You get to know a lot about said startup, who they are, what they do, how much funding they secured, etc.

For those who don't want to bother, the answer to the (IMHO clickbait) title is in the very last sentence:

> However, he doesn’t expect this to happen anytime soon. “As you go into the millimeter scale, electrical I/O has, I think, a healthy roadmap in front of it,” he said. “Beyond 10-15 years, we might see… optical communication start to enter the millimeter scale regime.” ®
My first question would be to look at the steps in your hiring process as a series of filters.

Do any steps that have either a larger drop-off than the others or a larger drop-off than in your past experience? What is the reason for the drop-off, are applicants dropping out/ghosting you, or are you rejecting them?

Do you have any data or insight on firms competing for these applicants? For example, are you putting in place an obstacle such as the 4h take-home assignment that your competitors do not have? Are you not posting compensation when your competitors are? Might these be subtracting more value than they add to the process?
I think it is tailored to your reading/browsing habits.
> But if you live in hotels or AirBNBs, there's a pretty good chance you've got a shower stall to shave in.

A lot of these also provide disposable razors, shaving cream etc (either by default or if you ask the front desk), so definitely a good option when it is available.

> one blade lasts for weeks

I shave every day and have used random (not name brand) disposable ones during travel. In my experience it usually stays usable for 3-4 days and could stretch to about a week. Still, being able to just set-and-forget an electric one without worrying about getting more blades has been quite nice.

> One downside of an electric razor is power

Definitely agree, though, USB-C ones aside, there are also compact ones made specifically for travel that have integrated universal plugs & support all voltages (if you have access to that).

I usually keep one of these in my travel bag rather than bringing along my regular one which is very nice but also needs an external power brick and cord to charge.
I think Jira development is secretly supported by Microsoft to make sure there's always at least one enterprise software product that developers hate more than Windows
These emails always annoy me. To each their own I guess.
Me and many other people I know will not do take-home assignments. Top paying (FAANG) companies do not require them.
I’ve used it at three companies and thought it was fine. Maybe my tastes aren’t refined enough or something but I thought it was fine.

Confluence is terrible but that’s a different product.
The employee was wrong and weasel worded their responses:

> “ Do you want to own product X?"

> "It is a low maintenance system so it takes very little of our time. It's not expensive to own it."

> The manager was displeased.

Of course the manager was. They asked a straightforward question and didn’t receive a straightforward response. Multiple times.
Once again:

> Do you really think product X aligns with our team's mission?"

> "Historically I can see why we own it. It sounds to me that maybe you don't want us to own it?"

The response, again, does not answer what the manager asked.

Employee goes on to write parody tickets.

Employee goes on to grandstand in front of other manager, instead of taking it “offline”.

Employee goes on to demand witnesses to simple meeting.

Manager has had enough of employee’s nonsense, terminated.

I don’t see how anyone could say it so authoritatively that the manager was wrong and employee was right. Unless you are just trying to coddle them, which if so, carry on.
(2019). Posting this material undermining the trustworthiness of medical professionals in the public eye is inexcusable given that we are still in the middle of a pandemic, which continues only because of existing disinformation. It's really disgusting this is allowed on HN let alone reaches the front page.
No, it isn't. We have plenty of setups in multiple organisations where even within the org only the administrative settings of the server are locked down and everyone else is free to do whatever they need. Lots of teams just use it as a kanban board, while others setup a state machine-based funnel to process user/business input into usable tickets.

JIRA in its default configuration essentially lets you create anything, anywhere in any state. Anything beyond that is just bad product configuration. Now, there are plenty of products out there that suck no matter how you configure it (looking at you, ServiceNow).

Especially the comments about "I would rather use trello" seem extremely uninformed as you pretty much *are* trello when you just stick to one kanban board and one project.
You should try VersionOne :) That tool made me appreciate JIRA.
CA did what many people were doing at the time, and those kinds of shenanigans are very common today.

The 'harm' caused by such information gathering, were it effective, is marginal.

So yes, we don't want people abusing people's APIs, but it's almost a nothing burger that people could 'target a few ads'.

More relevant to CA's case - their capabilities were rubbish. They completely overstated their ability to target people and to influence them.

This is the 'running scam' of the entire advertising, agency, ad-buying and consulting industry. Their claims were ridiculous.

All of that combined means that this was not some scary thing for civilization, the effects were marginal, and even then 'ad targeting' itself is not even a bad thing.

It's not 'harmful' that Toyota was able to get their ads in front of a few more truck buyers. More like 'annoying'.

'The Guardian' is a primary source for borderline fabrication at least to the extent that they vastly overstate both the kinds of abuse in the situation, and the power of the information garnered. In this case, misinformation by The Guardian is as bad as the case they are following.

"There's nothing moral about getting paid by politicians to manipulate voters into voting for them."

What Campus Bubble do you live in?

So you want to ban all public communications by 'Politicians'?

Are signs 'evil'? 'Pamplets'? 'TV Spots'? 'Radio spots'?

Did that 'pamphlet' you receive make you vote for ABC politician, and therefore the 50 cost of that was tantamount to 'vote buying'.

Does the same apply to industry? The iPhone ad should be illegal?

Please.

Ironically - targeted advertising is, on the whole, probably better for everyone than not. There is too much information out there, and we need better ways to access it. 'Targeting' is a form of market clearing, it's a form of efficiency.

The dynamics of it are screwed up in that some are much better able to leverage the system than others, and I don't like that our privacy is abused in many cases, but on the whole it's not bad.
Relatively significant as in a fraction of a percent?
Jira is highly flexible and customizable, almost to a fault. One Jira can look and operate almost totally different to another with enough customization. If Jira feels inflexible and bureaucratic to you, I'd argue that's only a reflection of how your Jira admins operate or the rules they are forced to implement.

Hey since you work at Meta can you find when code support / markdown will be added to text editing components?

Why do you expect the content to precede the platform?
It just depends. Obviously "Twitch plays X" sort of content where there is a lot of audience participation isn't great with that much delay, but there are a lot of streamers where chat is more reactive than suggestive and a delay there just doesn't matter much.

You may want to add in an artificial delay to chat though so it's synchronized to the video.
You still get stuck processes on D state which can be locking other resources. Maybe the kernel could use an alternate kill api for this, as being able to kill a D state process normally is problematic in many apps and should never be possible 'accidentally'.

because Telegram doesn't end-to-end encrypt communications by default! If you want that you need to start a "secret" chat, which can only be accessed on that (mobile) device, (and cannot be backed up or recovered)

Forget metadata being protected. Though imo Telegram is great for any communication that does not need to be secret.

People have also expressed concern about flaws in the custom protocol used, though most of the concerns are related to metadata leaks than actual text message communication, which might be ok or not ok depending on your threat.
It's difficult to know for sure but even if we pick a ridiculously high number, like 90%, we're still in the multi-billion dollar daily volume range.
The difference between an output of 0 and 15 ug/m^3 with an input of 200 ug/m^3 is negligible when considering the performance of the filter in the room. Let's walk it through, imagining 1000 CF room and a flow rate of 250 CFM, and comparing something that's 100% effective (0 ug/m^3 output) vs 92.5% effective (15 ug/m^3 output).

At t=0 your room has a pm2.5 of 200 ug/m^3. At t=1min it has filtered 250 CF which is at either 0 or 15 ug/m^3. The remaining 750 CF is still at 200 ug/m^3. The air in the room is now either:

100% effective: ( 0*250 + 200*750)/1000 = 150 ug/m^3
92.5% effective: (15*250 + 200*750)/1000 = 154 ug/m^3

Repeat this 20 times to simulate 20min and the room is at at 0.6 ug/m^3 in the first case vs 1.1 ug/m^3 for the second. The absolute difference is never larger than 7 ug/m^3 (at minute #4), and quickly becomes tiny.

> the great output air of Blueair filter + 350 cfm CADR is a pretty big difference. My indoor ambient air was about 10-15 ug/m^3 compared to 30-40 using the other solutions.

My guess is your other solutions had a much lower flow rate (and hence a much lower CADR). What are you comparing to?
LVT has been used to revive declining areas because it disincentivizes what is happening in many of those places, which is rampant property speculation without actual improvements to the properties. Vacant lots taxed the same as improved lots is an incentive to improve the lot or sell it.
And yes, where it has been implemented it often reduces the tax burden on people living in the area. There is a surprising amount of underutilized land in most of America, even urban areas. Look at a satellite map of Detroit for example.
This is a solved problem. The most efficient way to search Jira is to type random characters into the search bar until you find the ticket you were looking for on page 3 of the results.

> embedded into the core of how a company works.

Doubtful. Unless you are working for a shitty company in the first place, bad tools essentially just get skipped and disused by autonomous teams and none of this matters. If the company 'embeds' a product in place of a workflow, that's not something a product is ever going to fix, that's an organisational problem.
Aviation contributes to 3% of EU emissions because most Europeans don't take 360 flights in 9 years, whereas they do use electricity, cars/busses, and products of industry.
Fully agree.

1-3% is a reasonable amount to share with your partner. The feelings of conflict are reasonable but the reality is you may be better off with a highly committed partner than pinching pennies for yourself.
That book was garbage, so probably not.
I suspect if there are variations on "amount of bullying" it comes down to culture rather than "school uniforms" - at least one Japanese manga is all about bullying in a school uniformed school, so it must happen enough to be a bit of a trope.

It may happen less in places where the private schools can be school uniform or not, but there I suspect it has more to do with expelling the bullies than anything to do with the uniform itself, since it won't usually cover other status symbols that can be obtained (shoes, hair decorations, etc).

That's not to discount that the uniform may be useful for various reasons.
> The problem I have with the incessant Jira bitching is that I rarely feel that bitchers have a true understanding for the extreme difficulty of the organization-wide problem Jira is trying to solve.

No, I have a really good understanding of that. My problem is that Jira, in actual implementation, tends to be how some parts of the organization (often Product) tries to exert fine grained control over other parts of the organization (design, qa, development, operations, etc.) by micromanaging the process.

Also, sometimes your organization is just not that complicated. I've been in startups using Jira with dozens of states, with complicated transitions and approval steps, that would have been over kill in medical companies I've worked at.
For example, in my project, I have these two layouts, desktop and mobile: https://imgur.com/a/Jj7XcCO

They maybe can be done with the same markup, but it'd be much more work and some duplication, too. And of course it's absolutely unacceptable to redesign your UIs to make it easier to reuse markup — remember, developer experience doesn't matter if the end result is shit.
Dall-E and its relatives are still pretty awful at text, at least for now. They have a decent idea of how individual letters are shaped, but trying to produce a specific word or phrase is generally pretty hopeless. Dall-E can sometimes correctly reproduce words that appear frequently in its training data, like "PIZZA", but its success rate on less common words is dismally low, especially when they're appearing out of context.

Some pretty convincing examples of this behavior can be seen at: https://twitter.com/JanelleCShane/status/1531624303770279937
The worst part about it is that it's actually not the worst, proved if only by getting worse over time, but also that Jira can easily be configured by management to be worse...

Issue tracking is difficult in general. Any piece of software can be improved or extended in an infinite number of ways.

That's one of the big appeals of LVT: in theory it works incrementally. You try e.g. a 5% LVT and you should notice 5% of the effects.

Giving an acre to a homeless person and relocating them there though would be a death sentence.

I think in my experience what has traditionally been a challenge straddling the front-end and backend sides of a full stack developer in a SPA + backend API world is not the complexities of the technologies (it's not uncommon for backend developers to have a workable understanding of React and vice versa), but the sheer amount of 1st party code to deal with when working in both areas.
