Lot’s justs. Just the way it is. Just-so story?

It’s so just-obvious that it needs no argument. It’s just natural.

> I think leaders are often misunderstood of being only authoritarian, but thats not the case.

Bosses (as in formal authorities, people who have formal control) have been rebranded as “leadership” exactly because “leader” sounds much more voluntary and consensual.
Short answer, yes.

Longer answer - from my prospective - I enjoyed the first book Path to Power the most, which revolves around LBJs early life up to becoming a US Representative. I thought it was very on par with the Power Broker. That an the Power Broker would probably be my first recommendation to an ambitious college kid who wants to know the real Politik of how the world works.

The next book Means of Assent was my least favorite of Caro’s books, but still highly enjoyable.

Master of the Senate and Passage of Power are both great. But sort of specific to LBJs spot in life. Great, but I’m not sure they sparked my thinking quite the way the Power Broker and Path to Power did.
It seems as if the gaming instinct is only at play if LOC is used as a productivity metric.

Avoiding LOC measurement for other (non-productivity) purposes is a mistake.
Real banks have access to a lender of last resort.

Shadow banks don't.
I disagree. To me a resource is something the company controls, e.g. money, materials or, yes, a headcount. But no, the company does not control an individual person. Employees are free to leave and the police will not help you bring them back. Thus I think it’s sloppy to think of or refer to engineers as resources in most context, unless of course you are capable of replacing them with someone else at a moment’s notice.
The article is about how to identify promising leaders via a training exercise. It is not about using leaderless teams for actual work.

Ask HN: How to Stand Out Amongst the Competition?
Hello all! Using a pseudo-name to protect my identity.

How do you stand out in today's hiring market? One luxury I have right now is that I do have a job, but I feel shaky about the business and I do feel like layoffs are inevitable, if not this year early next year. I'm trying to get ahead of that and started interviewing at places. I am interviewing for Senior/Staff engineering roles, frontend focused, with 10+ years experience in this domain and I do alot of extracurricular learning. I've worked at several startups and a few established businesses, so I do have some understanding of the different work environments across the board too. I firmly believe my engineering skills are strong and I have a solid history (with references) to being able to deliver consistently, and above par.

However, now there is immense competition from developers from Twitter, Stripe, Lyft and other big names and I have had recruiters tell me things such as:

- There are people just laid off from Twitter that we are eyeing very closely as well

- There are people from Stripe with the background we are looking for too

- There is a lot of engineering talent we are actively recruiting from due to recent layoffs and we want to move fast as there is a lot of strong talent we are in contact with

Now I don't have the luxury of having had worked at a FAANG and can't lean into that "tier". I've managed to get some interviews in the door and scheduled, my biggest fear is that they will "halt" the pipeline whether I finish "first" or not for the "top tier" talent (not to diminish the talent from these places, lots of great engineers) and I'm already feeling like I'm discounted, and would only land a position if say, someone at Twitter or soon Meta or something actively rebuffs their offer, especially at these higher levels.

So the question is, how do I stand out so that it doesn't happen? How can I push the process along in such a way that I can "route around" this issue? Is there anything I can do beyond simply do my absolute best in every interview session (there is a total of 7 interviews at the places I'm looking at. Think Atlassian, Salesforce etc).

How can I do more to stand out from the crowd like this?

> By all means, cite literally anything, nobody is arguing with you, I'll gladly accept any citation at all.

But you are arguing, and you're doing it with incredibly bad tone. Or if you're not, your tone is awful enough that it's hard to distinguish.

One of the best ways to discuss things you have strong opinions about is to do so with a sense of humility and excitement. I suggest you try cultivating that within yourself.
> "you can try to convince enough people that the major chain becomes how you like it, while the others run a minority fork".

FWIW, that is also true for fiat. You can become an economist, or a journalist, or a politician, or a pundit, and try to convince your country to do economics differently. It's a tall order, but it's been known to succeed. If this seems harder than the equivalent for blockchains, it's only because cryptocurrencies have much fewer users, so your voice seems more powerful.

There’s a fantastic book and tv series by a research psychologist Brene Brown where she talks a lot about how to be on the listening end of these kinds of conversations. Often in these situations the other party just wants to have their emotions validated by someone they trust. Just being there to acknowledge their feelings and see their pain is enough (and trying to do more can sometimes make things worse). I highly recommend checking Brown out, she is quite incredible.
You’re right!!! Acch...

"Keep all logic out of the database. It already is the slowest point. And hardest to scale up."

I don't think this is true in all cases. Sure, ORMs are awesome, but sometimes you need to write SQL queries by hand, and those queries necessarily implement some business logic (even if they're just retrieving data).

There are few things I lament more than having to spin up on a new serialization / file format and it isn't using Capnproto or Protobufs or some similar invention. Capnproto has truly spoiled me in terms of how consistent and feature rich it is for what seems like a "simple" task.

I call these kinds of solutions “baby solutions” because they are impractical and assume the problem is that no one knows the “truth.” So they suggest impossible things to solve the problem.

Proposing an additional 2,400 person months and increasing the schedule 50% is not a viable solution. The PM probably said the kindest thing they could instead of “no shit Sherlock.”

A more useful solution would be to identify what could be cut to release something viable. Or to figure out why so much unplanned work was taking place and an idea on why to solve it.

It’s like recommending that step one is to built a time machine.

This argument’s logical reasoning error is to claim the absence of all incentive due to the absence of one incentive.

Apple has access to the logged-in account’s properties, as you assert, but this does not rule out Apple having other incentives for tracking.
I think that’s simply wrong. A company can be reasonably sure that they will stay in control of their money, and damn sure that time will pass. But at the end of the day they have no control over people. People are free to leave, and you can’t do much about it. So in my mind a headcount is a company resource, but a head isn’t. And that’s important to remember.

So defi is only 100% decentralized everything, even if the financial tools are decentralized? That feels like an appeal to purity if ever there were one.
How do you figure? (I'll point out that he himself somewhat reluctantly already said that it actually might be derived from it and he is unsure)

Whichever heretofore unnamed conjecture he did advance overlaps exactly. I humbly and respectfully accept that it can be some strange coincidence.

It is hypothetically entirely possible that it could be some other theory - one need only cite the author to clear it all up.

All my links are from googling what OP wrote. I respectfully posit the most charitable possible explanation that OP could perhaps be spreading Lost Tribes theories unwittingly.

Why dance around the issue? OP need only lookup whatever he did advance. There is truly nothing to argue about - if it is some other theory I defer to his good judgment as I am not a linguist.
That's great, but I think sometimes "Unix Philosophy" looks too much like a religion.

Programs are tools, and if they do the work they need to do, who cares if they comply with some ancient ideal or not? Yes, certainly composability is a worthy feature to have if it fits, but sometimes it's not there and nobody cares because the tool still does the job.

I'm also of the view of that the ideal might be almost obsolete in its original form. Yeah, "grep | awk | sort | uniq" style chains are neat and all, but in modern times they're actually quite inflexible. Modern data is likely to have a complex structure many of those tools are ill-equipped to deal with. Most any time I write anything of even slight complexity, I end up doing it in Perl or Python, and it works almost exactly the way the same code under Windows would.

I've also got to admit that Microsoft got a leg up here with PowerShell, because rather than holding up to tradition from the 70s, they applied new modern thought to the problem and came up with something better. I think it's unfortunate that Linux has acquired a considerable amount of traditionalism, because that risks making it slow to adapt and improve.

Same. "My first thought is...but I'm sure I don't understand all the nuances."

Branching way off topic, and paraphrasing Sun Tsu here, but he says to always give your opponent an out unless you plan to completely destroy them. Very rarely in business do you want to or need to destroy someone so I try to soften my suggestions.

The other mantra I repeat almost daily is 'do I want to be right or effective'. It feels great to tell someone an idea you know is 100% right, but does that mean they'll use it? At the end of the day I want to be effective. "Just" feels more like being right, than effective.

Speaking of phrases, early in my career the senior VP of my business unit was a nice, very sharp woman. One of the best executives I've ever met. Listening to her on calls was a master class on EQ and how to deal with people professionally. But, anytime she said 'help me understand...' you knew the hammer was coming.
It’s called “intelligent”. ;)
> the crypto simply did a speed-run of unregulated securities market and repeated every fraud or scam that the traditional markets went through over the history.

I think the whole endeavor may end up strengthening the traditional economy - crypto space repeating centuries of fraud in a decade is effectively a booster shot - suddenly it's obvious why all those laws ended up in the books in the first place.

> and libertarians were empowered(but not enough to be the main political power)

In a sense, they've discovered a novel way of attempting to gain power - I don't think many people expected someone could wish a parallel economy into being and leverage that to for political gain.
I've recently wondered, with C++, if there's a way to declare vectors so that compilers can autovectorise easily and not include the necessary codegen for cases where the data length is less than an AVX register width in bytes.

Maybe it's possible with a custom allocator trait?

e.g. the following code could potentially use AVX instructions only

using V = std::vector<std::uint32_t>;
V& andVectors(V& a, const V& b, std::size_t sz) {
for (std::size_t i = 0; i < sz; ++i) {
a[i] &= b[i];
}
return a;
}

Of course I don't callously dismiss my romantic partner when she complains. We both also recognize that complaining is fundamentally indulgent, pointless, and selfish, and strive to develop better coping mechanisms. Even when suffering greatly, I am loathe to complain. When I do complain, I am sure to apologize.

As a leader, actionable complaints (read: criticisms) are indeed a very useful signal, and I try my best to pay attention to them.
Good point. I think the subtle difference is that the traditional political democracy coerces the minority to use the system how they like it (ofc. not everywhere, maybe more on the money/legal tender side of things), whereas with Bitcoin there is no coercion by the majority. The majority would accept one set of currency, while others might use another, however markets will probably always decide on a winner when it comes to currency, which could feel as if you are "forced". Definitely a nuanced topic.
Layer. Never simplify. Barely abstract. Only layer.
The amount of space needed for a certain frequency in air is different to the length needed for that same frequency in a wire.

It might help to see the formula, which is:

Frequency = sqrt(tension/(mass / length)) / (2 * length)

So length, tension, and mass are all factors. Modern upright pianos also string the bass strings diagonally to give them a bit of extra length.

Having said all that, the same bass notes on longer pianos that can fit longer strings sound more sonorous. I'm not sure exactly why that is. For an extreme example see for instance the Alexander Piano[0], or the Klavins 370[1].

I mean, if my waking up to find a flat tire on my car causes a lot more actual harm to my life than his "accountability", seems pretty weak and that's still leaves a lot of room short of "life ruined" or "loses everything".

[EDIT] I'm not calling for him to be jailed or something, I'm pointing out that "accountability" that amounts to going from fabulously rich to... still fabulously rich, ain't shit. Hell, part of the motivation for getting rich is precisely that it insulates you from ever experiencing actual harm, so it's entirely expected that this would be the case.

Insolvent institutions like to claim they are illiquid when in reality they are insolvent.

We've seen this happen over and over during the 2008 crisis.
I didn't find much of interest in the article, but I realized that we have the concept of "leaderless teams" in the company where I work.

The company produces several distinct but related products. All of the products have a shared set of concerns and resources. They are all built upon the same in-house operating system, they all use the same development and testing lab infrastructure, they all have UIs, automated testing, etc. Migration of CIs between teams (generally voluntary) is relatively common.

To avoid duplication of work and to coordinate work and improvements on these shared resources, "guilds" spontaneously formed. Guild members more or less represent their own team's interests while also contributing to guild efforts as a whole, if they can, and when they have the time. Each guild has semi-regular meetings. There is usually a guild "leader" but this person is more of a secretary in the sense that they only schedule meetings, take notes, and facilitate communication. Guild leaders are just CIs like everyone else in the guild and have no actual authority to direct work.

Company management is aware of guilds and will allocate resources to them if specifically requested but otherwise have no involvement in the guilds and never attend meetings. Guilds (along with non-asshat managers) are one of the things this company has that I wish was more commonplace in tech companies.
