Don’t fall in the trap of thinking creativity nescessarily applies accross borders.

Being creative with coding is not the same as being creative with painting or inventing new products.

Of course smart and well trained techs can be creative, it just may not apply as well to creating new products line other types of creative minds.
I don't have TikTok, but for 2 years this is what I've been hearing from people who love it. They figured out a way to show you exactly what you're interested in, without you giving them any specific input

There have been many articles about the phenomenon of the "For You Page"[1][2]. But the funny part is Meta sees this and figures - people are looking at videos, we'll do videos. And not - people are seeing what they specifically like, lets do that

Pedantically:

"In another bizarre case, an editor at Wikipedia told Philip Roth, “one of the most awarded American authors of his generation” (according to Wikipedia) that he was not a reliable source on the subject of Philip Roth."

Philip Roth is not an authoritative source on Philip Roth. I would have thought that was obvious.
How can you verify the actual size of the black market dollar?
"Self service" has been right there for ages as a recognized term. We have automats, laundromats (or washaterias regionally), buffets, vending machines, self-service gasoline, photo printing kiosks, and so on.
These results look fishy.

I don't have time to dig into everything, but I did read the relevant part of the PDF where the questions were. I don't know where the error is, but the variance in how whites answer alone would cause me to raise a big eyebrow. Let alone compared to the rest of the results.

I'm not saying the results are wrong, just that I don't buy them given the amount of time I've invested. I would devote more time to researching this if it were published somewhere I recognized, but there are only so many hours in a day.

Also, when it comes to racism in North America, "Asians" is not an appropriate racial group. I've yet to hear a single Canadian that was born after 1940 talk poorly about Japanese people, but there are plenty of other Asian subgroups that I've heard horrible things about. And as is almost always the case with surveys like this, Jews are often white, but suffer bigotry from white racists.

This topic and research around it is messy.
Can they sell killed animals (in the live market)?
I agree with you on how much innovation occurred at google, but I think the timeline of when these innovations occurred vs when leetcode interviews really took hold is what the commenters are addressing. In the old days they had crazy hiring processes where riding a unicycle helped your case. This ushered in a group of very brilliant creatives that innovated. Now, most hires are required to memorize data structures and algorithms- things that a lot of the smart creative people loathe to do, and as a result the pace of innovation has slowed to almost a halt.

My personal opinion is that there were too many chefs in the kitchen and google is now trying to optimize the “creative leader” to “can pump out rote code” ratio.
This made me wonder about DNS over HTTP but it seems the standard accounts for size and limits both GET / query string and POST methods to 512 bytes.

So tcp supports the longest then?
They keep the talent from doing their own thing, basically innovate. That's how you choke innovators. Give a fat paycheck, a sense of accomplishment, while bleeding them out. That's all.
Definitely can't be helping.

I saw an ad on LinkedIn a few months ago for Coinbase and applied out of curiosity. Was very intimidating as a British 'commoner' who went to a very average university to be being grilled on Leetcode/Hackerrank questions by fresh male-Asian Stanford/MIT/top-US-university graduates (not being stereotypical - this was true!). Didn't stand a chance really as I don't do well with algorithmic questions although the interviewers were friendly enough and I did somehow manage to stumble to the last stage of 1 recruiter interview and 3 coding interviews. One answer I was expected to answer the complexity of my code to which the answer was something involving logarithms which I genuinely don't have a clue. I consider myself to be a pretty good developer and constantly get praise/compliments from my colleagues.

Dodged a bullet really after all the news I've seen recently about staff having their applications revoked due to hiring stoppages.

Uh I mean yes Boeing is kind of a mess right now, but it's ridiculous to argue that having Boeing based in the US isn't an enormous strategic advantage.

Proper sound insulation is expensive though. If moving is not an option because of financing, you might want to save money to be able to move eventually rather than spend it on a property that's making you miserable.
> Rust is quite an easy language to learn

It's funny. I hear two different things, all the time. "Rust is easy to learn" and "Rust has a steep learning curve". Personally, I found it to be the latter, and that's as a serial dabbler/language polyglot. I had a bear of a time wrapping my head around lifetime annotations, and needed someone already familiar with them to sherpa me through that stage.

I think it does a disservice to say, "Rust is easy to learn modulo these two really challenging concepts, plus some other things you are likely unfamiliar with". Python is easy to learn. C++ is hard to learn. I'd rate rust as medium difficulty.

It sure is enjoyable though, I don't think that's ever in doubt.
They have been extremely vague on their description of the issue. Describing it only as "propagation issues".

From the outside it appears that they only have two nameservers assigned per organization, contrary to the recommendations in RFC2182 section 5 and the nameservers are intermittently coming online and going back offline again.
No offence, but this is just pure racism.

How about some advising for startups or others. I find joining twitter, and resisting to follow the common time-consuming topics, allows me to start from 0 and slowly build topics I'm interested in. I find/follow 1 interesting person at a time (yes=yes, maybe = no, no = no), explore their posts, and get something out of it. On some topics I feel like I want to learn more, on some I find that it was a good idea, but no longer interesting(unfollow). Few months in, I find that my interests are changing by following my inner interests. Reading comments of people with similar interest helps. There are certain things I seem to enjoy that deepens my understanding. I find the core developer calling pulls me back. I listen to Tim Ferris where he interviews top performers, and I learn from them. I read books they recommend. All in all, I feel the shift. Singup for http://wwwhww.news or get nirvanahq app and start writing,(about any topic that comes to mind really)(get it out of the brain, so subconscious happiness machine can start flowing again). I bet writing this question on HN tomorrow will trigger some interesting thoughts.
Agreed, Cloudways is great. Just a little expensive.

It essentially provides the power and flexibility of a cloud VM with the convenience and "set-it-and-forget-it" nature of shared hosting.

For those who don't know, Cloudways is essentially a management service that runs on top of a cloud VM of your choosing (choices include DO, Vultr, Linode, AWS, GC). For a premium over the cost of the VM, they take care of all the provisioning and config for you, while still providing a powerful platform (allows SSH access, etc) and some added functionality (Git hooks, staging sites, credential management, and more out-of-the-box). It's really quite slick.

Also unique in that the public debt is mostly held by citizens or local corporations (92%).

For reference, that figure is ~75% for the US, and between ~75 and 50% for most EU countries. Fun fact, the largest foreign debt holder of the US is...Japan.

Large merchant ships do use water cannons for repelling small pirate boats. But that wouldn't really be practical to mount on a typical private yacht. They're just too bulky and heavy.
Funny but it turns out subsidization is pretty much the only way we've ever gotten things done. The most productive economies have ever been have always been wartime economies when gov't basically takes full control of every aspect

Look at your iPhone. That touch screen, GPS, the internet, voice-assistant AI, etc. It's all a collection of government technologies. Economist Mariana Mazzucato has written[0] about the myth of private sector innovation in depth. Even the industrial revolution was driven through purposeful government investment.

Another economist, Ha-Joon Chang, has written[1] extensively about this as well. The same tools the US used to build itself up (subsidization, tariffs, gov't programs, etc) are the first things that the US (through World Bank and IMF) bans with "structural adjustment" policies when these countries inevitably can't pay back the loan that was shoved down their throats. They "liberate" the economy. In other words remove any local protections from competition by US companies that are themselves heavily subsidized. And also get rid of any government services and leave it up to the "free market"

The thing is that this is just the way anything gets done. Just look at Walmart.[2] Internally, it's the largest planned economy ever invented. Many magnitudes larger than the Soviet Union ever was. Anybody who's sold a product at Walmart stores knows that once you make the deal you've basically given up all control to them. They decide what gets produced in what factories and when and how much

Contrast that with something like Sears that tried the "free market" approach internally. They let their stores compete with each other and tried to have minimal centralized intervention in what each store does. Sears failed... And so did their Ayn Rand-obsessed CEO.

I would advise you to spend some time watching infomercials like the guy who invented an expanding hose or the my pillow guy.

All of these people have a story for themselves like the origin story of a superhero. All of these people can talk your ear off about how much suffering they experienced from the inferior products of their competitors and can point to 10 or 20 attributes their project has that are superior to competitors.

If you don't feel that strongly about the product you ought to ask yourself if you want to go forward.

I agree with your other points, but not this one. Mobile OSs are so ahead of the competition in security it is not even funny. Like, as much as I like my linux systems, they are a huge pile of vulnerability not even making the task of a hacker hard.

How is this not the consumer still losing, though?

There is no reality where manufacturing a car in Mexico costs the same as in Michigan. We've artificially increased the cost of the Mexico product... that is what will happen if you try that approach with chips - they will be more expensive for no real good reason.

It also appears to cost many multiples more capital to build a chip fab than a car plant according to these sources[1][2].

Actually, UTC -is- continuous. Even with leap seconds. At no point does UTC go backwards, at no point does a second happen twice, and at no point does a second change in length -- your 'extra' second happens as 23:59:60; when there's a negative leap second, the last second of the day is 23:59:58. UTC is not expressed or defined as an offset from some time in the past.

The real problem for computing is when UTC is converted to unix epoch time, which is defined as an offset from the past, and by definition has exactly 86400 seconds in a day, every day, so some provision has to be made for those extra (or missing) seconds. And -that- is where the problem happens. But it's not UTC that's mucking around with the definition of time, it's the standard representation of time that's used in modern computing that causes the problems.

That being said, UTC is still probably to blame for most of the problems, because it effectively requires knowledge of more than just a timestamp to understand when something actually happened. And that extra knowledge (the map of when leap seconds have happened before) changes often and irregularly. Epoch time could totally be redefined to include leap seconds, and that would solve lots of problems, but there's no practical way to distribute that updated leap seconds table to every system that would possibly need it...
"That's not a matter of disrespecting that person; it's a matter of disrespecting pronoun pins on principle."

Individual landlords may vary in how they treat you, but don't corporate also?

In my own experience: For corporate landlords, being a poor grad student or a tech worker didn't seem to make a difference; I was still treated like I didn't exist. In several instances there were serious issues with my unit that were affecting my health, and they were ignored. Individual landlords were awesome people -- fast and responsive to issues big and small, and even did things to make my stay better.

Seems that many results vary, but I suspect that when there's no human connection, you'll get a lot of bad stuff going on

Ask HN: Why is job matching still broken?
I was wondering why isn't there a platform with a one-click job recommendation and application. The closest thing is Easy Apply on LinkedIn, but I still have to find and apply for each job.

Isn't finding a new job a recommendation problem, and don't we have enough real-world systems doing the same thing? Ideally, I would like to inform the system of my preference, and let the system do the heavy lifting of finding and applying for the job.
Funny enough I think this was the common view when they were introduced as well. They were a necessary kludge to get certain interior features and through age and context they've become appreciated for their own sake.

Simply bad monetary policy. Argentina has a long history of resorting to money printing for its budget deficit and every generation thinks they will get away with it.

How significant is the US market to foreign manufacturers?
Perhaps if you spent more time with books, you'd know that John Carmack didn't invent the fast inverse square root algorithm associated with his name.
I don’t think subsidizing them has been a success. I think tariffs and awarding contracts to the best domestic manufacturers are the way forward. That’s why SpaceX took off, they won contracts.

Boeing effectively lobbied to regulate others out of existence. Bought off who they could, then won grants and contracts because there was no one else.
Typically the "solution" is to scroll up/down to the next/previous video and then back to the desired video. Though that only works for reels, not non-reel videos (whatever those are called).
I'm not sure I agree with this. Do other world powers allow their rivals to investigate their bio research facilities? I don't think I've ever heard of the US inviting other world powers to examine anything sensitive like a bio research facility

"Global interconnection" is not the same thing as "globalization". In many ways they're actually opposed. With globalization comes increased strength of patent and copyright laws and much more control over what crosses what borders

Many of these started as acquisitions, but they massively transformed them. For example, they acquired some products in the mapping space, but none of them remotely resembled what Google Maps have become.

Taking some starting point, hugely evolving it/transforming it, and growing it into a dominant market leading product, I personally consider that innovation.
Her Bitcoin take (which was at $19k at the time) is that "Scarce assets, particularly industrial commodities, are historically cheap... Alternatives like Bitcoin also offer asymmetric outcomes even with small allocations."

* The Nikkei 225 stock market indicator reached a high of about 40k in 1989, but dropped to a quarter with the collapse of that asset bubble, and has not recovered that yet (it just recently hit 30k). This period was known as the "lost decade" [1]

This sounds like an issue with capitalism and the rest of your comment aligns with that too. You also pointed out the dissonance between the complaints people have about the govt and the similar actions they take - I think a lot of that has the same cause.
