GDPR doesn’t say anything really about cookies, actually. I think you meant ePrivacy.

Fact is most popups inform you about cookie use but don’t give you an option to do jack. And what makes you believe they’re ePrivacy compliant? I’ll bet you 90% of those sites, even when well intentioned, pollute you with tracking cookies anyways.

Edit: by the way no modern website uses cookies to maintain your shopping cart, and instead of relying on a persistent credential cookie, you could just use a password manager to expedite login and be more secure overall. Finally, “private” mode on most browsers contains cookies to short lived session cookies within the tab lifespan.

The bar is super low.
Yup, exactly this. The easiest way to weed out bad candidates is to listen to all the buzzwords they rattle out and ask them to explain a single one and how it is relevant to their design.

My first instruction to candidates always is – only talk about things you know. If your system design interview prep book told you that you should use time series databases for a certain category of questions but you don't actually know how they work, you will be screwed by trying to incorporate them in your design. Just use MySQL instead and tell me its pros and cons for this use case.
Even just special ed is used as an insult
When you have 500+ people at a startup and they spend 90% of their time working with a single partner on some failed venture it's not surprising they'd end up at the partner. You end up building personal relationships within the partner and the workers there will vouch for you.

It's not like a small startup team with close vested interests doing the exact same project absent the aquihire. The robotaxi thing was very ambitious and shooting for the moon, and now they joined a megacorp with a much more modest long term project with corporate leadership/management.

If the bulk of the Argo leadership staff joined and rehired their teams it'd be different though.

This is how most of Medicare works. 10 or so choices of co-insurance or unified Advantage, outsourced to private insurance. Private health insurance should be illegal just as it is in other countries.
Not by common usage of the word.

Particularly because I'm not sure I've ever come across a case in my life when a speaker or writer wanted to include people from both continents as a single group. It's just not a label that's useful for much of anything.

"North or South American" isn't a particularly meaningful or relevant concept at all. In contrast with e.g. "Latin American" which is very useful/meaningful.

And if people from the United Mexican States are Mexican for short, it's an easy shorthand to similarly call people from the United States of America, well, American.
Flatpak and snap both overwhelmingly had easy to bypass sandboxing policies, and/or the applications did not work because those restrictions were not intended to be used with the software.

There can never be a package system where you can safely install malware.

Trying to do so has now muddied the process, pushing developers away from learning how to properly package applications, if at all. .appimage makes them obsolete anyways. If I want to distribute malware I don't need a .Deb to do it.

Start with granting amnesty to everyone here without a criminal record and then start opening up our borders? I have to assume that’s what you mean by “start with this.”
That doesn't account for the increased chance of death, unfortunately.

I'd ditch 90% of my car use for a bike if I felt safe doing it... but most places in the US you really aren't. A quick google search shows bikers are 2-10x more likely to die per mile, though I didn't delve too deeply into it.
No, it just gave them permission to indulge their worst urges.
Hope it works out for them. Not sure though why you're so against reverse mortgages? It seems like it's just one of several options for folks to pull equity out of their home. Especially if a high priority is to stay in their home. I'm sure there are scams, but, for example, in NJ, before signing up, you meet with a government specialist who reviews the terms and the company to confirm that it's legit.
Are your in-laws happy? If yes, perhaps how they communicate is more important than topic. Costco, tulips, volcanos, whatever. I'm sure they ran out of new things to say decades ago.

Because there is too much legacy code for X86 system servers on the market. It costs a lot to hire developers to port the code. Some of the code is for languages that are so old they don't convert very well.

Whooowee, pull up a chair and grab a drink

Their IAM is a raging tire fire. Disturbingly stupid for such an advanced organization. I'm on my phone so the rant will have to be left at that for now, but people can bitch about AWS IAM all they like, at least it was designed and thought out versus the GCP "works on my machine, ohh I got promoted now it's someone else's problem". Words fail me how angry GCP IAM makes me

I know this isn't a "cool kid" thing to say but the lack of CloudFormation makes deploying into other people's GCP more painful than necessary, which has an intersection with my IAM comment because Role bindings are authoritative (in both gcloud and terraform) so oh, you want to add a member to `role/editor` but leave the rest of the members alone? Tough! I had high hopes for Deployment Manager but it doesn't support hardly any of the resources and there's no one click URL to roll out the yaml anyway

And congratulations, you just created your first Project in GCP: now you want to run Cloud Functions? Well prepare to spend the next hours of your life turning on the necessary APIs for that project because unlike AWS where everything works to your credit limit, GCP is that blank room in the Matrix. For ever project, every time. It's like GCP has amnesia. What APIs are necessary, you may ask? Who knows, just try something, read the 403 it gives you back, rinse and repeat
It's possible that where you live and visit is full of Teslas, but that might not be a random sample.

But for a while, you had to get a Tesla to get a pure EV. The real question is, as competitors come online, are people likely to purchase another Tesla or try something new?
Countless popups don’t protect privacy? Shocking.
Frankly, I don't care as long as government isn't involved. Companies (and other organizations owned by individuals) should have every right to hire/fire people based on the language they use, no matter what language that is. Same with companies that decide who they want to sell to and who they don't want to sell to.

I'm very much against the idea of governments limiting speech or forcing behavior on private individuals, with some exceptions in the case of the tragedy of the commons (like with environmental protections, overextraction of renewable resources, etc).
> The guide also rejects the disabled in favor of people living with disabilities

FWIW, as someone with a disability, I just don't care about this - your intent and actions matter so much more, as I've commented before[1]:

> I've had people who've obviously been trained to use person-first language be actively unpleasant (often the classic "you don't look disabled" and questioning the authenticity of my documents), and people who've used clumsy, borderline-offensive language go miles out of their way to help me (and the other way around). [...] I will say "disabled person" stands out to me less, as "person with disabilities" can come across as a little forced[, though it's probably because I've heard the former more often].

Notably, however, the Sierra Club guide doesn't seem to actually call for that as far as I can see - it directs you to refer to the National Center on Disability and Journalism’s Disability Language Style Guide[2], which currently states:

> In the past, we have encouraged journalists and others to use person-first language (such as, "a person who has Down syndrome" rather than "a Down syndrome person") as a default. Even with the caveat that this does not apply to all, we have heard from many people with disabilities who take issue with that advice. For us, this really emphasizes the fact that no two people are the same — either with regard to disabilities or language preferences. And so we are no longer offering advice regarding a default.

The one part of the Sierra club guide I would strongly agree with though is:

> Similarly, we should avoid making light of things like PTSD, anxiety or OCD, by using real medical diagnoses as a metaphor for everyday emotional experiences.

It's frustrating to hear people cry "My OCD!" when, for example, they can't tidy something up even though it clearly doesn't bother them a few seconds later, as it feels like it is trivialising the problems this condition can cause, and doesn't even match up with many manifestations of the disorder (my own irrational obsessions cause me to be way _less_ tidy than the average person).

Given the timing of their investments and the extreme valuation they had during the bubble, it’s likely that most recent hires’ option packages would be worthless in today’s market.

The startup options market has become very skewed against regular employees in recent years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bulk of the cap table and preference stack was captured by early management hires and investors. Other comments in this thread suggest that leadership wasn’t acquired into Ford, so maybe wiping them all out and giving the employees good jobs at a real company with real stock is the best outcome for the current market.
Eh, that’s just internet discourse in general. Once you put down Twitter this stops being an issue. I would love for someone to deconstruct what about social media, regardless of leaning of the platform, the people, or the subject being discussed causes these bad faith takes.
Show HN: Voteism for India
Hi HN.

iOS: https://ios.voteism.org
Android: https://android.voteism.org

Voteism is an opinion poll app that makes it easy for you to express your preference for one electoral party or the other.

Almost all political surveys and exit polls are biased in one form or other, managed by political consultants or by media channels. Voteism fixes that by being mobile, anonymous, secure (PGP) and privacy preserving.

Yes, we understand this is not THE perfect solution. But we believe it's the best out there that can reflect the collective wisdom of the people.

Transparency: https://docs.voteism.org/transparency.
Maybe make the windshield from smart privacy glass to turn it into a projection screen (being mindful of what people will see from the outside), controlled with voice and sign language instead of a keyboard and mouse. With head and eye tracking, the whole interior could be a primitive holodeck.
No, they are pointing out that for all of your bolstering, China today is doing things that the global purview thinks are far worse than what the US is doing, again, today.

Please remember that comments on HN are meant to be in good faith towards the discussion of the article, and regardless of any factual inconsistencies that may or may not be present in your statements, they are off topic and potentially trolling.
I came to realize that this is the case with advocacy groups. These groups will never want to say, "Hey, things aren't that bad anymore. We're working on some small problems, but honestly, we solved most of the stuff we were concerned about." Everything always needs to be in perpetual crisis. Wikipedia always needs to be in danger of shutting down. Political enemies are always supposed to be one step away from destroying the country forever. That's what drives the donations and prestige that keeps these groups going.

As groups become more successful, they're more likely to shift from reasonable goals to extreme goals.

I can't say about other companies but I have personally done many, many of these interviews over the years and can say with 100% confidence that someone who has spent days/weeks/months studying system design interview material but not had any actual experience building such systems in a production setting will get weeded out in the first few minutes.

Now some interview prep might actually help a lot of people, but it will help you better present your existing knowledge, not replace it.
fun tool, but tbh I found it frustrating right out of the gate. It felt like being stuck in an infinite loop.

> You: I'm ready

> Interviewer: Great! Here's your question: Can you explain the difference between a stack and a queue data structure?

> You: Definitely.

> Interviewer: Okay, great! A stack and a queue are both abstract data types that can be used to store and manipulate collections of data. However, they differ in their approach to managing their elements. A stack is a Last-In-First-Out (LIFO) data structure that allows elements to be added and removed from the top of the stack. The topmost element in the stack is also known as the "head" of the stack. When an element is added to the stack, it becomes the new head. When an element is removed from the stack, the head is removed first. On the other hand, a queue is a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structure that allows elements to be added to the back of the queue and removed from the front of the queue. The front of the queue is also known as the "head" of the queue, while the back of the queue is known as the "tail". When an element is added to the queue, it becomes the new tail. When an element is removed from the queue, the head is removed first. In summary, the main difference between a stack and a queue is the order in which elements are added and removed. A stack follows the LIFO order, while a queue follows the FIFO order.

And then it just keeps prattling on about it, without ever actually testing my knowledge.

And even if I start off saying "No, not really", it spits out the answer just the same.

It's certainly an impressive feat of engineering, but I'd really like to see a new OS project that isn't a Unix clone. OS development is a monumentally large endeavour and in my eyes it seems like a waste to dedicate that level of energy to copy something in a new programming language.
I wonder if there’s space in the self-driving field for a self-driving-only company. Like, your product is a sensor and software package, and car manufacturers install it in their cars. They get to skip the R&D investment (I imagine there’s a mismatch between current car company management expertise and the management required for overseeing self-driving development), and potentially they get to avoid some of the liability (in the media at least, although probably they still take on the bulk of legal liability).
This is not what's usually meant by wiping out all value in the universe, in this context

Mosquitos and humans value very different things. The things a human consider good and valuable mean nothing to a mosquito, and whatever the mosquito ideal is, none of humanity spends any time or effort whatsoever trying to figure out what that is

A strong AI could be to us what we are to a mosquito. The strong AI could have completely alien goals, as it has no reason to care what we like.

If the AI has been trained to accumulate dollars (or paperclips), all else equal the AI would prefer filling the universe entirely with dollars, rather than having a universe with some happy living humans and slightly less dollars (or paperclips). As the AI, you simply kill the humans if you can and turn them into dollars. That way, you've achieved your goal of having more dollars, which is really good.

Many humans think it's really bad if we have to die so an AI can maximize some other random alien goal we don't care about. So destroying value here means "destroying what humans think is valuable"
I'm in the young cohort, and it's frankly insane how many of my friends consider starting a conversation with a stranger in public to be almost sinful in basically every context. Bars are still acceptable, but for basically every other public place I've heard them complain, one way or another, about someone trying to start a conversation with them. Not about them not taking no for an answer, just being annoyed that they tried.

Now, I know it's "not every young person", since I also know many social butterflies, but the number I know is still shocking.
