I got a chance to connect with OP -- thank you again for your thoughtfulness and balance.

While I (and YC) am trying to help founders create postive interview experiences for candidates, there's clearly more work to be done. As I mentioned previously, I give hiring/interview training for our founders. From our conversation (and this broader thread), I need to reiterate/add points to my training around:

- More education to founders around who should/shouldn't be hiring. This market is (and will continue to be) tricky to navigate, but that's not an excuse for rescinding an offer. (We actually do a lot of training -- and our partners repeatedly tell our founders not to overhire, but we can do more here, especially now.)

- Paid trials are good. From my conversation with job seekers -- and with OP -- this is a good practice to respect an interviewee for their time, and more founders should do this.

- Keep trial periods short. 1-2 weeks is a good amount of time; any longer and you risk wasting the candidate's time, which a founder/hiring team should be respectful of, always.

Again, there's more to do, and I'll try to work more closely with our startups to really dig into their hiring plans for 2023. I don't want job seekers to be experiencing this kind of thing (on workatastartup.com or otherwise), so we'll do what we can within our network to prevent it.
>> I’ve basically described an old-fashioned taxi dispatch company—the kind that dominated the industry before Uber and Lyft came along

Unfortunately for you, Timothy B. Lee, I am old enough to remember the old-fashioned taxi dispatch companies, and I have to say, rarely was an industry more deserving of being disrupted.

Nice slatepitch though.
To me "staring into the abyss" isn't just "accepting things". Its an action. Its something you can spend your time doing. Lots of people don't do it - especially in the modern age of social media where the abyss can be kept away with an infinitely scrolling list of entertaining content.

I live in a highrise building with a beautiful view. I've spent a lot of precious hours just sitting on my couch looking over the city and thinking. Those moments have yielded a bounty of insights. But for all the valuable thoughts on the couch waiting for me, I don't go there very often. There's always something more stimulating that wants my attention. Letting my attention settle on some random thread on HN (coughs) instead of pondering infinity has a deep cost that we rarely account for.

I think bail norms probably vary by jurisdiction, etc., and your assumptions are not correct.

My guess is he was not required to post full collateral, i.e. the only collateral here is the home, and then Sam, his parents, and two others posted essentially an unsecured guarantee for the full $250M, such that the government could recover up that amount from any assets held by any of those parties. While unsecured, note that the government probably has priority over any creditors and could and would seize any assets of those parties per the guarantee.
Fun fact, these are all things that the new system encodes. Before you can officially be given bad ratings, you have to have like 1-2 quarters of official warnings and you get feedback/check-ins on performance quarterly as opposed to 1-2x a year under Google's own system.

The offshore wind market is going through some growing pains right now so we can't rely on the price decreases in the short term like usual, and Japan's coast is quite different to the UK's. There are superstorms, tsunami, and even laying cable is hard and expensive.

Hopefully the reactors are obviously obsolete in 2032 and offshore wind, tidal, or imported ammonia replaces them, but for now it makes a lot of sense.
Look at the human rights status of democratic vs. non-democratic or faux-democratic countries, that speaks for itself pretty well.

>China doesn’t allow Western social networks.

Not entirely true, they just have to follow Chinese law if operating within China, but they mostly refuse to. For instance facebook wasn't blocked in China until 2009, when it refused to release information on suspected terrorists.

You can argue those laws US companies would have to follow in China ae wrong, but they are still applied more-or-less evenly. If you want to respond in kind then make privacy laws that Chinese companies would find difficult to follow, but are none-the-less applied evenly.

>if you think they are interested in “co-living” go talk to the Kremlin on how that went. China is bidding its time but their intention is to end US dominance.

It's interesting that Americans consider "co-living" to mean continuation of US domination.
Of course China tried to attract foreign investment. Describing that as

> Chinese strategic efforts to locate our industrial production there

makes it sound like some sort of conspiracy to undermine the US. It was normal economic policy, of the type practiced by most countries.

To be clear: bail is not for criminals, it's for people accused of a crime.

Which is not to say if you commit murder, you go to jail without bail.

It's if you're accused of murder and made to stand trial, then you go to jail without bail, regardless of if you're guilty or not.

Really messes with poor people because if they don't have bail money, they either:

1. Sit in jail for a few months, unable to work, while their bills pile up, kids go uncared for, and rent is due.

2. Pay 10% of bail to a bail bondsman, who keeps the money regardless of if the accused is innocent or guilty, just so they have the privilege of walking free while awaiting trial for a crime they may or may not have committed.

On first impression this struck me as, totally insane. The department transitions felt like I was living in the Wal-Mart matrix. After the omnipresent cyber-greeter mentioned the oil change, it felt like it made even less sense.

I started thinking, how could this ever make sense. I could see a setup where there are booths or something with VR headsets at the front of the store, and the rest of the building is a warehouse. This would eliminate the whole public store, except for the area with the headsets. Still not sure how much sense this makes. Or how much I'd want to put on a public use VR headset in a Wal-Mart. But it makes a little more sense then doing this at home.

*edit: I was really hoping they'd throw the milk across the store.

You might find this to be crazy, but it is fundamental to politics. Even if some people are legitimately delusional, it is extremely possible that you have something can offer others that you dont value, and they do, and thereby buy their support.

The expectations for that top rating band (previously "Superb", now "Transformative") have always been high. Something like 3-4% of people are expected to get it per cycle. I've been promoted at a well above average pace, and even with strong performance and a strongly supportive manager, only managed to come close to that top rating once.

There's really no expectation that anyone ever get that top rating. Most employees never will. That's fine.

…and has consequently created a housing shortage so severe that their decade-plus waiting list was at one time being considered for the Guinness Book of World Records[0].

Price controls leading to shortages and rationing is basically the microeconomics version of the First Law of Thermodynamics. It has had the same result literally everywhere it has been tried.

The solution lies in the supply. Always. If you want more people to have more of something at an affordable price, you have to make more of that thing.

> Pulling the A/C unit out to lighten the car for the dragstrip. Why bother renting an A/C reclaiming machine when I can just open the valve and let it vent?

This is very rare in the grand scheme of things and the most common case is simply to recharge a line that had a slow leak. Both the valve that allows you inject coolant on the A/C system and the valve on the pressurized can are one-way by default. Yes, a little get leaked every time you do this because there is a void between where the valve attaches to the pressurized can, but this is all about trade offs.

If your A/C is leaking, you can usually fix it as it’s usually just a brittle gasket or a flare connection became loose over time. Most people I’ve helped have vacuumed out their refrigerant before disassembling so they can simply pump it back in.
Why pay for new coolant if you can borrow the vacuum tool for free and just use what you got already? Yes, I’m sure some people just open the valve and let it rip, but most undertaking this repair at least watch a few YouTube videos.

People forget that humans are primates. Hierarchy and status are built-in (sub-conscious) concerns. There will be things like jobs and companies and co-ops and socialist committees, but many of them will involve humans leveraging AIs that they control. Or they will involve integrating AI and or robots with brain computer interfaces.

You status may depend largely on your ability to leverage AI and robotics.

Not really, my thought is any kind of bail jumping or favor calling in, or attempts at covering up evidence would be done on the internet. It's to preserve the effectiveness of the trial, not just some arbitrary punishment.

In the defense of your Mac, computers of the 1960's had terminal controllers for dealing with the communications. And 3270's were like web browsers - getting a form, sending the data back, getting another one - an excellent design for avoiding hardware interrupts ;-)

But yes. I've seen 370's with a good couple hundred 3278's connected and that thing was still quite snappy, even though the CPU in my watch can run rings around it. I guess even two VT330's would stress my current laptop if I could type on two keyboards fast enough ;-)

Enforced rotation of passwords on a schedule is no longer recommend, and is advised against. Mandatory immediate expiration/rotation of all credentials that have been (or are suspected to have been) somehow exposed is a requirement of all security protocols. And there is nothing wrong with a user voluntarily rotating their credentials, that does not reduce security (as long as they don't do something silly like use less secure passwords in the interest of making them more memorable).

To be blunt, the market is saturated with people who call themselves “data scientists” but are actually just reasonably skilled software engineers with at best a college sophomore level understanding of math/stats.

On the other hand, the market is nowhere near saturation for people with both advanced software engineering and math/stats skills (i.e. PhD-level).

Excluding the boot time for both, MacOS takes between 15 and 45min to update. Linux is a few seconds. I suspect that the only OS that has a more ridiculous update process than MacOS is Gentoo.
Comments here are cute.

NFS has been in the kernel for ages and works roughly the same way, kernel driver with a userland component.

NFS has the advantage of having been in the kernel longer with most low hanging fruit security bugs fixed. ksmbd is brand new. Quite the expectation to have it be completely bug free.

OK, so let's ignore all the replies about how there are many useful Git tutorials online, or all the Git-specific advice.

You say that you're only using Git as an example of something you'd like to learn. Are all these concepts that you'd like to learn technical/software related? If so, CodeMentor may be what you're looking for.

In a more general sense, it's a very interesting problem. How do you find personalized technical help online, with some assurance that the person helping you is actually competent in the field?
