In this hypothetical, they'd also have the choice not to work at Subway in the first place. But realistically, very few companies (especially fast food restaurants) would want a non-compete if they had to pay for it.

My broader point is that if we say that there may be places that a non compete makes sense, we can both allow that and give workers protections - especially workers with the least leverage to negotiate.

Why would you narrow your pool so much, especially when specific experience is usually not what defines higher engineering levels but rather architecture, leadership and communication skills?

If someone is actually skilled in system design they would be able to come into a new domain, understand the constraints and design a system within those constraints.

People seem to superficially pattern match on experience that looks similar, but doesn't really have that much overlap a lot of the time.

My thinking is that most things are far more specific than we realize, so why not mostly forget about specific domain knowledge and focus on applicable high level skills? Domain knowledge is a nice bonus, but you're almost certainly going to have to learn things on the job regardless.

I doubt it's common, but my friend had an experience where they kept trying to direct him towards specific technical topics of particular interest to the business.

He worked for their competitor, but not in the capacity the interviewer was trying to delve into, so in addition to scummy, it was pointless and annoying.

At some point my friend cut the interview off.
I look at it as, split apart cloud things that are totally unrelated to the rest. Like there's no way my YouTube creator account would be the same as my personal Gmail/calendar/whatever. And don't put photos in the cloud at all unless it's e2ee. Chat/IM and email in the same place would make sense cause they're related things, except nobody uses Google's chat products.

It's nice how iPhones do the neat AI photo search and montages all client-side, with my Mac backing things up. They're really catering to the less common use case there.
My expectation is that people will gradually move away from whole dating and marriage business. Families will collapse, number of children per person would be < 1. Same as Japan. Alternatives for entertainment and engagement are far more plentiful and cheaper in time as well as money investment. Young people trying for relationships now frequently experience betrayals as people jump around to find "better" match at every opportunity. The victims on other side often decide it to be cognitively too burdensome to keep trying. Divorce laws are huge negatives and discouragement from financial perspective to
middle class youth desperate for financial independence.

I think the culture is moving generally towards women who is independent, who selects mates from top 10%, keeps relationship with mate during early stages of raising child and eventually moves on with her independent life possibly with new partners. No marriages involved and top 10% of males don't really have to "date".

Show HN: Practice Job Interview with ChatGPT API
Hi HN!

ChatGPT API was just released and I'm eager to hack something with it.

So I created PracticeInterview.co to help people practice for their next job interview.

ChatGPT acts as the interviewer and you can choose to interview for various roles such as Finance Manager, Social Media Manager, and Software Engineer.

I think this is a cool implementation of ChatGPT and the interview sessions so far has been pretty coherent.

Please give it a try! It's free, no logins required, and your interview session is saved so you can comeback to it later.

Since it's an MVP, I would welcome all feedback. Thanks HN!

I often wonder about products like this. It seems to me that access solved many of these problems years ago then just faded away. I don't know why, I don't know why these are better either. Other than being collaborative and in the cloud. Those are huge benefits but why didn't access carry on to the cloud?

I feel like I'm missing some understanding of the low code space.

I'd like to learn these tools one day to allow me to rapidly put together CRUD apps but every CRUD app I build seems to have some edge case that would not be a good fit. So I carry on the old fashioned way. I'm sure I'm wasting time manually plumbing data between the database and the front end but oh well.
It literally broke when I ran a build. Thought did cross my mind.

It seems the average person today is just looking for any excuse to complain. Someone can propose that ranked choice voting is flawed (some implementations might legitimately be) and a drove of people will latch onto that without even understanding it.

One of the main problems is that the party basically tells politicians how to vote on a bill. Very few break with party lines. We're seeing a relative lot of that deviation on the Republican side, although maybe not in a good way. The main problem in this area is that you essentially end up with 2 diametrically opposed positions with no in between. Even the stuff pitched as a middle ground is usually just step 1 in a side's plan and doesn't legitimately address/protect the other side.

That's 40 M mouths that don't have to be fed, 40M bodies that don't need to be housed, or supplied with energy, and 20M houses that don't need to be built. And all the arable land under those 20M non-built houses that can still be used to grow food.

> Now that I'm in the system, the other stark reality is that little of this system design matters. Most of the challenge is understanding the internal technologies and figuring out who to talk to to get stuff done (like pretty much every big company).

Having been on the "support" side of an engineering org (supporting teams building product features) the thing I've noticed is that if you don't maintain a certain "density" of people with these system design skills things start to go off the rails. People start showing up with designs resting on some very fundamental misunderstandings or designed with no eye towards simplicity and things turn dysfunctional quickly.

It's worth noting that there are also better and worse designed system design interviews. Good ones give space to demonstrate "taste" as well as technical chops.
This really seems to be the pattern no one talks about: no matter the age bracket, when your kids get to the next one, it gets worse.
I’m going to be way more strict about confidentiality with an interviewer I don’t know at all than with a trusted colleague. For all I know you get beers every week with the CTO of my current employer’s largest competitor.

Besides which there’s a way more interesting variation on the question, which is “how would you design our product?” Got that one in my last big tech interview and quite enjoyed it.
If you're clicking around on random streets in Google Maps, it's clear you have no actual knowledge of the city. It's far less dense than any place you are comparing it to. Paris has been inhabited by city builders for thousands of years. Denver for about 150.

It has such an uphill battle against its historical context as a Western U.S. mining town. Before that, the area was sparsely populated by Native American hunter-gatherers. You're not even pretending to consider the starting point.

Why not compare it to places like Salt Lake City, or Boise? Cities that actually have some similarity to it terms of population and historical development.

I encourage everyone to disregard the comment I'm replying to. It's totally ridiculous. Peak HN big-brain BS.
When an application has ideas for enhancing the messaging experience, who governs those changes? What if an application refuses to incorporate those changes, or refuses to make those changes interoperable?

And who decides which application(s) are forced to implement those enhancements?

For example, iMessage supports iMessage apps. I imagine providing interoperability for those would be a monumental task, if not impossible. Would Apple now be forced to abandon its iMessage app store due to lack of interoperability?

Or does this new law apply only to the core tenants of a message application? That a message app must only be interoperable with other apps/services in the sense that it can send and receive basic text?
I'm going to guess you are setup a IPFS universal gateway[1]:

> When you set up a Universal Path gateway — a gateway without a DNSLink record — you are creating an unrestricted gateway that allows users to access any content hosted on the IPFS network.

> This differs from a restricted gateway, which restricts the gateway to a particular piece of content (either a specific Content Identifier (CID) or an Interplanetary Name Service (IPNS) hostname).

That's basically like creating yourself an open proxy. Bad idea if you don't know what you are doing.

From your post:

> I sent a support email asking if they would consider a refund as the traffic was very likely not from my site visitors, one feature other ethereum gateway service providers offer that cloudflare does not is the ability to add a domain whitelist or even API key authentication. Cloudflare just lets you set up a domain name that they happily accept any requests to.

This isn't true. https://developers.cloudflare.com/web3/ipfs-gateway/concepts... is for this.

I agree that gifted kids should be "separated from the chaff".

I don't see how you reconcile your belief that students should go at their own pace with the idea that students should not be separated. Lack of separation forces all students to progress at the same rate, either high or low.

Having been in gifted tracks and standard tracks, I saw a clear difference in the capabilities of students and coursework. If I had been forced to stay in the standard track, I would prefer to drop out.

Last, I reject your idea that no student can underperform. At best it is a meaningless empty statement. At worst it is a delusional denial that any differences or lines of comparison exist. Nobody is talented, untalented, tall, short, fast, slow. They just are what they are, unique and incomparable.

There is absolutely a class component to gifted programs, but the vast majority of the time this results from the additional support and nurturing upper class parents give their children. I don't think egalitarianism is a sufficient rationale for stifling and handicapping the progress of those children.
In 2001 and 2009 I remember hearing about layoffs where they had a big (in-person) meeting to announce the layoffs. I seem to recall there were two ways: either you have two simultaneous meetings, one for the survivors and one for the axed; or you had one large meeting to announce them, and then people went back to their desk to check their email to see if they were affected. I'm not sure that announcing it over a mass Zoom is any different than a mass in-person meeting.

I'm struggling with this idea. You could end up tokenizing the inside of an unopened string literal for (contrived) ex :

String s = hello world";
[-> typename:'String' id's' op'=' id'hello' id'world' ...]

And it would cascade if then

foo("blah"); (...)
[-> strlit';\nfoo(' id'blah' ...]

A parser-first approach will stop with

unknown id 'hello'

and avoid the cascade.
"In this labour market, it’s not too surprising . . . employers are being opportunistic and careless,” she added.

The way that's written sounds preposterous. We're in a labor market where businesses are less and less successful finding adult workers to work for inadequate wages, and... "Oopsie, we were careless and accidentally started hiring children?" Do they expect anyone to believe that?

What government service have democrats privatized?
Pascal made this argument in a brief treatise called on diversions. He argues that people are inherently incapable of sitting still and feeling content, and so distraction is a fundamental human need:

It's interesting to see the idea borne out in a controlled study.
Steve Blank's The Startup Owner's Manual was actually already on my reading list - would you recommend The Four Steps to the Epiphany over that one?

Not necessarily. In many ways TSOM is just the newer edition of TFSTTE. But not in every way. There is some content that is unique to each. I usually tell people I'd recommend reading both eventually, but I'm not sure the order matters. And the core essence of what he's saying stays the same in both books.

If there's an easy way to summarize the difference, I'd say TFSTTE is oriented more specifically towards a model where your product is a "enterprise" B2B product and probably is going to be sold in a high-touch fashion. TSOM is more oriented towards Web based SaaS services and the like. So definitely related, but yet different books in the strict sense, IMO.
> Most folks I know don't tend to want to deal with their emotions. They'd rather cover their emotional condition with something.

It took me a while to admit this to myself, and even more to someone else, but at this point I'm one of those folks you describe. Not because I don't want to, or don't recognize the need to, deal with my emotions. Rather, because the last time I tried, I spent years digging deeper and deeper without making progress, and then couple more years to dig myself back up, with nothing to show for it.

If there is a way to deal with the more deep-seated emotions, without getting stuck in a loop and without losing ability to function normally in a society, I'd love to know about it.
No need to be. You missed the line from the white paper:

● The Denver Ride App pilot launched on June 1st and ran for 3 months
● Our sample size consisted of 70 riders across 12 of the 19 participating local
bike shops
● Collectively, these riders logged over 3,500 ebike rides and over 15,000 miles
during the pilot period

The rest of their data is extrapolated from this "sample." Which is probably, given all the other hitches and processes involved in a potential rider even getting to this point is really a "self-selection funnel."

Oh.. and the app was iOS only.

I think that we should tax away the majority of corporate profit (modulo, of course, legally sanctioned re-investment).

And no, I do not think that leaving the bulk of resource allocation decisions to the market is the best idea we collectively have. The market works fine for some resource allocation, but it has very disturbing failures with quite a number of things that are central to a happy, free life. I do believe that market pricing is a valuable strategy in running a contemporary economy, but the level of trust and responsibility we place in it has, IMO, gotten completely out of control.
