The point I was trying to make is that you’re walking into a conversation that’s multiple years old and not particularly controversial and then demanding that people do the work for you in order to help catch you up.

I think if you were serious about actually wanting to know it wouldn’t be difficult to do which is why it seems like you’re just wanting to be contrarian for the sake of it.

Maybe you could expand upon what you’ve done so far to try and answer the question for yourself?

I was responding to someone who spent a grand total of several seconds on the topic before coming to a conclusion that they felt so strongly about that they thought they would come and argue with randoms on the internet about and as far as I can tell they put more effort in than you have so far.
Corsair’s new 45“ OLED gaming monitor bends into a curved display
Unless I'm desperate I'll never do an unpaid take home test again in my life. For me it has been a waste of time and hugely demoralizing. Best/worst story and the one that broke camel's back: at one uber-copycat company I had my test failing on one reviewer. Then after a few months another reviewer interviewing me for another company told me that "this test would be fine by me. Had I reviewed it when I was back at the uber-copycat company I'd pass it".

And my experience was more or less like that with all unpaid take home tests. So, bitter truth is I have more to my life than doing boring unpaid work with minimal chances of getting to an offer and TBH I doubt I'd enjoy working in a company that hires like that. So, my stance is give me as much whiteboard or pair programming or whatever _time_bounded_ test you want and let's go from there.

PS: I looked one of the tests. It said "follow SOLID". I'm not gonna say what I think of SOLID here but it's good that they say what they adhere to beforehand. I mean if you're going to have people pouring hours and days in your tests at least be transparent of what exactly you expect.
The crypto stuff is disabled by default, get a new talking point.
My HN test is an IQ test that I, myself, cannot pass.
I think most 2-4 hour take-homes can be condensed to 1-2 hours with some thoughtful choices. A few ideas I've used:

- Provide starter code and setup instructions so candidates don't waste time on boilerplate.

- Abbreviate requirements to what actually matters. E.g. do you really need 100% test coverage on a take-home? Ask candidates to write a few tests and then tell you what else they'd do given more time.

- Use an open-ended, time-boxed format instead of having end-to-end expectations. IMO a hybrid format where a short (1 hr) take-home is followed by a live discussion/pairing afterward can be the core component of a hiring process.

I'd love to hear more about the Ramp process. Do you mind sharing what sort of practical problems they used?
Our ability to build, understand, analyse, evolve, secure and troubleshoot systems depends on our ability to reason about and understand them. The more complex a system is the less we are able to do the aforementioned things.

Default settings works well enough but I agree 90% should be hidden behind an advanced settings check box. (I suspect the organization of features is more obvious in German.) There are also lots of other cool things one can do that are not in the interface but arguably should be.

That said, for what it is it is pretty epic already. As a proof of concept it's completely convincing.
> No chance.

That's not a coherent response to my point - I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

> No one cares if the data they have on you is accurate or not, least of all ad companies.

This is wildly, factually incorrect. There's literally no reason for anyone to gather data if it's going to be consistently inaccurate. In the case of ad companies, they want correct data because they think it allows them to target ads better - they definitely care about accuracy.

> They'll happily push ads at you all day and it doesn't matter to them what they're for.

This is irrelevant. The problem of "I'm being shown ads" is completely orthogonal to the problem of "an organization is collecting a bunch of personal data about me". My comment was explicitly about the latter, yours is about the former and so shouldn't be a response to mine.

> An employer who refuses to hire you because of a false understanding of your spending habits or political views

That's an edge case that's easily worked around - just make your noise-introducer not add hazardous content.

> The data collected on you will be used against you no matter how accurate it is.

You're assuming that the data collected is actually useful as a weapon, and there's no reason to assume that. Your noise-detector could just add interests in a bunch of different products (avoiding the hazardous ones) - very low risk, and very confusing for an adtech company.

> It will always be better for you to avoid handing them data at all.

This is true in theory, but unfortunately very difficult in practice. Ad Nauseam's approach is the realistic, pragmatic one that survives contact with reality.

"In its defense, Cleveland State argued that room scans are not "searches," because they are limited in scope, conducted to ensure academic fairness and exam integrity, and not coerced."

how is a search that is limited not a search, and if it isn't coerced, what would happen if he didn't comply?
Haha fair.
Grearly depends on what you are expecting from it.

After $300 per unit S. has only two advantages:

1. Form-factor: you can build a comparable small enough unit from OTC/OTS parts but usually it costs at least $200 more

2. Basic functionality (ie filesharing eg with SMB) just works, with a nice webgui to configure it.

This is actually a feature. Try answering the query 'best headphones' yourself.
Dogs understand attacking property -- especially property obviously being used by a human -- and orcas are considerably smarter than dogs. I believe they've been shown to cooperate with humans in hunting before, and that without the sort of socialization dogs get and without the artificial selection for human sociability dogs have undergone.

Sure, they weren't trying to eat anyone, and I don't believe orcas basically ever actually try to kill humans...but the very fact that they don't further underlines how smart they are, so yeah they knew what they were doing.

Like others, explain the situation clearly, but unlike others are suggesting, don't jump to the fork button. Instead, get on a call with them. In the end, you will have to decide if you want to keep accepting their work. Best to talk it through with a non-text medium, video is best, more than half of your communication is lost by not using it.

Also, get over the "I might hurt their feelings" and think more like "I might have to fire this person". On the plus side, you are not impacting their finances or family, just take care to explain your position clearly, oh, and listen first.

The only time I saw someone use it in the wild, they put a database in it, so when it scaled there was inconsistent view of the truth and when it relaunched workers it deleted everything. The developer responsible absolutely could not be convinced that this was their fault, or that there were valid use cases (stateless services) for the product.
Some benefits can be measured, some can't. Mosquito nets can be measured. Interventions to reduce AI risk can never be measured, because we'll only ever get one data point (many years from now) and evaluating an intervention needs at least two data points.

I don't think anyone working on, say, AI risk is claiming that their work is 1.37x more valuable than mosquito nets. Rather, they claim that there are plausible assumptions under which it's highly valuable. If I also find their assumptions plausible, I'm now persuaded they're working on something worthwhile. Great! It distinguishes them from lots of people working on stuff that definitely isn't.

Utilitarianism doesn't need all the numbers to be precise. You really only need to get the signs right to improve your decision making. Often, you can get different signs for overall utility from two different assumptions that are both plausible. That's an important signal for which assumptions to worry about. The assumptions that only change the magnitude by a digit or two aren't that important.
Theranos isbthe exception proofing the FDA right, the 737 Max is the exception proofing the FAA right. And no, there is no such thing as a "budget" of lost lives to further innovation. That approach is just deeply cynic, and should ve in itself ground to not work in any of those industries. The 737 Max and Theranos do show so that there already to many people with that exact mindset out and about. And while Theranos didn't cause any death (at least not that I am aware of), the MAX indeed did. All for profit, all for moving fast. For me, that is simply not acceptable.
Could be. Many of these notices came from services that I knew were old accounts or had forgotten about entirely.

Hmm..I think the implementation of this stuff will also be via GUIs or even embedded AI (for music or like a SD modded 3D printer that dreams and prints in response to the artist). We will end up ascribing this to individuals who, possessing an ego, will look to become famous artists.

There's a lot of relevance where automated pipelines start interfering with the general population. Boomer parents on FB/etc. H/w I would urge the author to avoid only focussing on this from a digital art/nft moronospheric lens.

>I think people are adopting the separate identity way. One official identity, and another one which hidden and has no clear connection to who they are.

Bingo. And I think it's layered.

This is a separate identity from myself, with just enough actual content from my life and knowledge that if someone is interested in contacting me for something professional, they can put together what my specialties might be. But even with all of the posts on here, you'll play hell figuring out who I actually am.

Then there are the other online identities who have literally no connection to myself. No clues. No posts. No pictures. Nothing to link them to me. Reddit is a good example. I post there, but nobody would ever be able to put together who is the human doing that. (it helps to have a username that someone else uses on a different site, btw. I stole an HN handle that made me chuckle to use on reddit, and this one is used by another very salty person on reddit).

It's all about separation. I think that's the key.
>What you're describing is a law. Electrical services are a utility and classified as fundamentally different. Is Cloudflare infrastructure that should be governed more-or-less the same way as electrical access?

Yes! At this point.

And just because electrical services are a utility now, doesn't mean they always were, and internet infrastructure should be classified that way as well.
Small businesses build their websites by setting up on a platform like Shopify or Squarespace. They use a template and fill in the content. They add functionality to the site, like an email opt-in, a "free shipping if you order over $50" bar at the top of the page, a "contact us" button floating at the bottom, a bunch of social media icons floating on the side... via plug-ins/apps/scripts. They don't ever touch code. All those plug-ins/apps/scripts that provide this functionality to non-technical website owners as a service have no idea what the webpage DOM will look like, how it's coded, what other scripts you're loading on the page. They end up fighting to be on top with z-indexes, and that's how you end up with the website's main navigation being on top of instead of behind a modal dialog like a popup contact form, when the site owner wants it to be behind. This "top layer" means the stuff that isn't part of the page and should always be above the page can really be on top.
I hope this will include research at universities where government grants are involved.

On the topic of openness, we also need to ensure open access to government records even when involved parties are trying to use NDAs (StingRay) or copyright (many municipal building codes) to hide government records.
I don't know if I would classify it as an unrecoverable death spiral, but it does seem very short-sighted and ignorant of their customer base.

Heroku has two core tenets - developer experience and upgrade to paid tier for production workloads.

As a result, at least the Heroku customers I know use the free tier for a good portion of their _non_ customer-facing production workloads - prototypes, staging, administrative functions, and so on.

This both increases their cost and makes budget planning a lot less stable. It means developers may become motivated to start coming up with workflows that target other environments where they would normally target Heroku, which like robs Heroku of a source for future revenue. Once you take on the devops work yourself, Heroku is no longer price competitive.

In other words, this new cost makes the unique value of Heroku look quite a bit more like a detriment. Thats rather unfortunate.

This term of business art reminds me unpleasantly of Borders, and now defunct bookstore chain where managers insisted staff refer to books and other media as 'product', reducing staff to little more than super-market-grade shelf-stackers and merchandisers.

I grew up in a time and place where people who worked in bookstores did so because they liked books and were knowledgeable about the book industry as both distributors and consumers. Chain stores like Borders preferred to hire young and cheap and make stocking decisions centrally. The staff could probably have been swapped with a completely different retail establishment, and both outlets would have run in much the same way.

Free market advocates like to go on about the self-corrective nature of 'real' capitalism/competition, but never seem to have any answer for the existence of franchises or their tendency to crowd out other participants in a market by having a much deeper pool of capital to use as leverage. The idealistic models of perfect competition and price equilibrium only work well under elusive conditions and for fungible commodities.

I used to have EPB some 6 years or so ago. They were by far the best ISP I have ever used. I was also privy to an organization that had access to their 10Gb connection.

A public internet service has been on their radar for about a decade now, and I proud to see they managed to get it working.
If it really were "100000x" less effort to fix, why are more and more resources being allocated to keep it going.

It's a full time position keeping all the plates spinning in their air, but now It's even harder to debug and reason about. I guess it allows you to quickly start up a new project with some boilerplate configurations though. I wonder if there's a term for that, where you defer things perceived to be "hard" to save time up front. Sort of like a credit card you spend but with technical decisions ...

That's because proof calculus (such as natural deduction) specifies how parts of a logic formula can be manipulated without changing its meaning. It's easier to prove and maintain the universal correctness of underlying mechanics that way. As for functional programming, ML (the Meta Language, where the object language is HOL or Higher Order Logic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language) ) was created in 1973 for manipulating proofs. C was created in 1972.

Here in Germany filtering through the gap isn't allowed at all when the car is moving, turn indicators or not. Doesn't keep drivers from getting upset when it happens while they are standing (then it's permitted). And it's certainly allowed on a separate lane, just like pedestrians on the sidewalk aren't required to walk slower than the traffic-stricken cars to their left.

(when the lane is just painted and the right turn is unobstructed otherwise, I do like to change lanes to behind a right-indicating car: so much better flow than stopping them, while almost stopping myself to be prepared for a forced turn - one of the many reasons I prefer painted lanes)
Maybe lead with that then.
That source never actually mentions Irish people, even while it suggests people from a number of other European nations are not "purely white"–which is not the same as "non-white".

Did Franklin mean to include Irish people in that even if he didn't explicitly mention them? That seems unlikely, because when he wrote that in the 1750s, there was very little anti-Irish sentiment in America, and I'm aware of no evidence that Franklin personally harboured any. Most 18th century Irish Americans were Protestant, and whether or not they technically count as "WASP", they were rarely distinguished from them.

Benjamin Franklin visited Ireland in 1771; I'm aware of no evidence he thought he was visiting a "non-white" country. During his visit, he socialised with the wealthy Protestant establishment, although he saw the poverty of the Irish masses and was struck by it – however, rather than blame it on their race, he attributed their plight to British rule, even later suggesting that without independence, the British would reduce poor Americans to the same extreme poverty that poor Irish endured. Keep in mind that in 18th century Ireland, the Protestant establishment in Dublin viewed themselves as "Irish"; they did not see themselves as a different nationality from Irish Catholics, and would not have agreed that they were a different "race" from them.

I honestly think the fact that all it takes is a dockerfile for fly.io will help you shoot past heroku soon enough. I never understood how to make a buildpack, but many more people know how to write a dockerfile

I would love to see support for docker-compose to define clusters. I know you are getting a lot of these "I would love to see" messages lately. Good problem to have.

Having one major one would be a good achievement for a country of 5 million.

In the US, Wisconsin, Colorado, Minnesota, South Carolina, and Alabama are the states with populations in the 5-million range. The University of Wisconsin, Colorado, and Minnesota are all AAU members, and each would comfortably be the finest university in every country on earth smaller than, say, Spain (40 million people). South Carolina and Alabama aren't as prestigious but both do quite credible jobs of serving as the flagship universities of their states.
