fwiw in my experience it's entirely possible to avoid this if you don't submit an application "cold" (i.e. through the careers page), but through a recruiter or referral _IF_ you have a strong portfolio of open source work and/or exposure in technical spaces.

i'm more than happy to do take-home assignments or complete reasonable timed assessments, but i have (politely) refused to complete leetcode-style gotcha screens when they have been presented to me as "just another part of the application process".

idk, though. maybe that's a privileged statement based on my position, but from what i can tell grinding leetcode seems to be much less reliable these days & the toll it takes on a lot of folks is pretty significant.

Your analogy is better than it should ever be really.

If Embraer really do launch this drone taxi service someday, it will be only to boost it's image as an aviation/inovation company, not because it would be profitable (it probably wouldn't, and it will not happen in the end).

If Tom Cruise really do get engaged to Ariana someday, it will be to boost his image as a man's man, an action star that get all the ladies (he probably never enjoyed the fruit very much, and it will never happen in the end).

> Build strong, local communities and economies instead

In my view, a necessary part of this is decreasing central control, both at federal and state levels. A good example is the response to Covid; state laws in places like Michigan forced small flower shops to close, leaving them to watch as people bought flowers from the Home Depot garden center instead. And more broadly, the whole pandemic was a gigantic gift to Amazon's bottom line, at the expense of every small store owner.

I agree that as a society we've trended too far in the direction of efficiency at the cost of resiliency. In restoring the balance, we must also shift the locus of control more to the people and the localities they live in.
where did I call it a syndrome?

If you justify her marrying the guy because he saved her from police, and you completely sideline that he needed to save her from police because he took her hostage during robbery and police came for that criminal, sorry that's just idiotic.

You can justify marrying the person who put you in direct danger of death for whatever irrational things like emotion, sexual attraction whatever, but you must acknowledge that it's highly illogical and quite worthy of a close look, if the original stockholm syndrome study is complete bullshit then someone else should do a better job at describing this bias.

Edit: thankfully, it turns out all that about marrying the hostage taker is false. (The logic in comment I replied to remains stupid though)
Investors want to 10x+ their money, so they’ll be very hesitant to put money into a company that is run by someone who sold much of the company for so little. It shows you either need cash or you don’t think your company is worth that much. Either way, it signals to them that you’ll likely sell out in the future before they get their 10x+.

>The real question is is this process even possible to stop?

Conceptually, sure. In practice, I think it is less clear, but in general, I'm an optimist.

This is because I think living in a ideological consummerist mindset is fulfilling, and over time, humans will lean and adapt, either individually or culturally. Like tulips, crypto, or whalebone corsets, consummerism relies on novely and the promise of fulfillment to dupe buyers. On a sufficiently long timeline, consumers realize that whatever they are buying isnt actually making their lives complete.

>Does multiculturalism help or hurt this process?

I don't have a stong opinion on this, so maybe it is a wash. Multiculturalism (ethnic, political, or other) certianly adds some more fuel to the fire, in terms of more shallow Identities and thoughts to buy into or object to. On the other hand, most cultures have subcultures that aren't shallow or polarized, so perhaps multiculturalism provides more ideological exit routes from the house fire it fuels. Time will tell if people will find and use those exits.

I don't think its collusion but its possible when one major tech company does it the others think its safe to do it too. But I also think many of these companies over-hired during the pandemic and even with the layoffs have more employees that pre pandemic.

> It’s not clear to me whether they would have gotten as much out of it as Microsoft did out of NT, though.

Oh, absolutely agreed.

MS did very well and the core of NT is a superb product. But merely having a superb product is not enough.

It's hard to see how big and how influential DEC was today. Now, young techies assume that an 8-bit byte is a universal thing, that it's natural and obvious that computers just obviously use binary and that means word lengths that are powers of 2...

Whereas DEC sold vastly successful minicomputers with word lengths of 12, 18, 24 and 36 bits as well as 8-bit and 16-bit machines!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_Data_Processor

And those machines inspired the designs and the command lines of CP/M and MS-DOS, and as such, directly and profoundly influenced the PC industry. These were not niche machines, they were the mainstream that led to the standard OS that made Intel a success with the 8080, and that in turn led to the Zilog Z80 that spawned many multi-million-selling 1980s home computers... but it also led to the PC.

DEC OS/8 (and its big sibling TOPS-10) are what led to not only the CP/M and DOS command lines, but also things like 3-letter file extensions (after a dot). Every .TXT and .JPG and .HTM file exists because of the PDP-8.

https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/81341.html

And that was a 12-bit machine, not 8-bit, or 16-bit like the PDP-11, the machine that led to the 32-bit VAX, whose VMS is the direct ancestor of MICA and NT.

UNIX was developed for the PDP-7, an 18-bit machine.

The machines and their OSes are nearly forgotten now, and DEC is a footnote, but the weird thing is that both the CP/M–MS-DOS–OS/2–Windows–Windows NT family evolved from DEC OSes on DEC machines, but also the Unix family was designed and implemented by a 3rd party on DEC hardware, and then ported to different DEC hardware.

The two big rival lines of OSes today both can be traced back to the same company's products.

Unix and microcomputers are what killed DEC... It foolishly bet against them, it bet on big iron and tried to turn its most successful minicomputer into a mainframe.

But even despite that, and wasting a mind-blowing amount of money, it still came back and produced the first 64-bit RISC chip, and the first 64-bit Unix to run on it, and it got a native version of the industry-dominating OS which grew out of its own cancelled project. And that chip was also the target of the first ever port of Linux to something non-x86.

It was an incredible comeback. It's tragic that ultimately it wasn't enough.

Honest question: why do people host exit nodes when they aren't 14 anymore?

Given how dangerous it is to host one, and how little personal benefit one gets from it, I kinda assumed most exit nodes are hosted by three-letter agencies from various countries. Is that so? If not, how so?

That seems like a real step in the direction of AGI but not anywhere near the full solution. The current context windows are far too small to replicate human intelligence. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it feels like we are missing a sort of bridge between learning done in-context and offline training. A true AGI would be able to learn in-context and then quickly apply those lessons to the base model. If in context learning is analogous to a person’s short term memory, we need a mechanism to move short term memory to long term memory.

In the near term I expect we will see much more general robotics that know how to do lots of tasks and can follow basic instructions, but lack the ability to develop complex new skills over time. Robots doing dishes and laundry will soon be feasible, just don’t expect unbounded self improvement.
Makes sense, thank you!

I'll leave my way-too-literal interpretation in case someone gets a kick out of it.
Bittorrent is fast because it can saturate your connection by downloading chunks from multiple connections the same way things like “axel” (wget alternative) and Download Accelerator apps accomplish it over http.

There isn’t an interesting statement on Bittorrent vs internet here. Browsers just don’t make this optimization themselves, probably because most files are small, but also out of respect for the single origin server.

> Because I’m lazy and I don’t have 10 hours a week to configure the distro.

This? Again?

I get it. I also like Macs, but it's been a long, long time since I had to do more than "dnf -y upgrade" or "apt -y dist-upgrade", and one of my home servers has logs dating back to 2015. I never lost data, and I've never had any major issues since, at least, the mid 2000's.

This trope is a tired one.

Besides, no competent engineer would have to spend 10 hours a week configuring their workstation.

I don’t think that’s true. It is true for ad blockers-ads, but you can make a completely indifferent execution environment with no access to the outside. Of course you can also just try to learn the movement of cursor/touch screen, but I don’t think that would be accurate enough.

Not related but somehow it reminded me that I had one of those casio pocket tvs and felt so cool that I could watch a _very_ limited amount of TV while on the go mid-late 90s, and how I even managed to hook it up to our local cable with a homemade cable to get even more channels when at home. I'm so grateful I got to live through those times and been in a fortunate enough position to play with 90s gadgets like that.

Honest question, is there any cryptocurrency that provides actual value to people? The blockchain can be trivially deanonymized from my understanding. It's difficult to get coins without at any point revealing your identity. So, if you're not in a circle of people who will physically trade coin for cash (or vis-versa) there seems to be no privacy argument.

I just fail to see crypto as anything but a scam - period. It's like physical gold and silver but worse at everything they do. How can one even derive value from a coin like bitcoin where the swings are often worse than the bolivar.

Ask HN: What are the best open source products you've come across?
I really cannot believe how much worse HN comments have got over the past few years, from an already pretty annoying point.

just...wow.
It's a nice story you've convinced yourself of, I guess. People will rationalize anything because they just assume the theory is true. Also a new body part isn't just shapes at the macro level, like wings and noses, but they have functions at the cellular level that require entirely new proteins -- proteins that would need to be found in a search space that would make picking the correct atom out of the galaxy look like an extraordinarily likely event. It's like saying "oh yeah, and it also just happened to randomly guess the combination on this combination lock that has 60 digits in in. You can do the math, unless you're a evolutionary biologist, which is why in the faculty lounges the mathematicians make fun of the biologists behind their back for not understanding rudimentary statistics. I'm sure you'll say that the magical process just kept guessing numbers for the lock that were somehow closers and closer, without realizing that when a lock is locked it doesn't give you any feedback about how close you are. The math just doesn't work. There is no mechanism (other than "random mutation", sheesh) and on top of that the theory is refuted by the fossil record at every turn. It's a joke.
It's not surprising to find that half the comments in this thread are about what other countries are doing or have done. I find it less than genuine, certainly those should be submitted as separate posts, and can be debated there on their own merits, as should this one.

VHF and UHF are still almost as they were. It was the format that changed, not the frequency.

UHF only goes up to channel 52 now, though. Before 2009 it went up to channel 70, and before 1983 UHF went all the way up to 83.
Would you give the same advice to someone who was blind or in a wheelchair

No, I wouldn't. But as fellow ADHD sufferer (who has struggled greatly at times) I would vouch for the parent poster's advice.

ADHD ultimately comes down to coping strategies. At the end of the day you are going to have to develop strategies to focus and accomplish your work.

In this sense it is different than e.g. blindness. A blind person (I'm partially blind, too! fun!) can't cope their way to sight. But an ADHD sufferer is going to have to figure out a way to focus and accomplish work.

I guess if I was already hired I might consider bringing up the disability thing if my employer was doing some weirdo, directly-hostile thing w.r.t. ADHD like banning headphones in an open office. That would be a plan of last resort.
> “Getting cash into the economy” is the solution to a demand shortfall recession. There wasn’t a demand shortfall. There was nothing to stimulate because everything was closed.

Instead of "cash into the economy" for the sake of stopping a recession based on a demand shortfall, you should look at it as "cash into the economy" to prevent individuals who no longer had any income, and companies which no longer had customers from going bankrupt. Covering the mess of mass bankruptcies, hunger and homelessness was going to be drastically harder. Potential or real inflation are absolutely worth it as tradeoffs.

I've had every htc g1/nexus/pixel. 3 years hasn't been too big a deal, we have 3 phones in the household and the phones trickle down based on preferences for camera, phone size, and us. Did run up against the 3 year limit a few times. Fortunately the pixel 6 and 7 switched to 5 years of support.

I was considering switching to iPhone, but then I tried GrapheneOS. It's only for pixels, is easy to install, and focuses on privacy and security. Suddenly it feels like it's my phone.

Cambridge: "a person who has had a lot of experience of a particular activity"[1]

Merriam-Webster: "a person of long experience usually in some occupation or skill (such as politics or the arts)[2]

Oxford: "A person with long experience in a particular (non-military) position, field, or activity; any experienced or ageing person."[3]

Vocabulary.com: "Veteran commonly refers to someone who has fought in a war––think Veterans' Day, the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial––but, in fact, the word can mean anyone with experience in a particular field."[4]

I could go on. They used it correctly. 10 years is plenty of experience for this field to use the term veteran.

What you call "collusion" is what economists call "the market". Collusion doesn't even make sense here when it's so broad based. I could entertain collusion if it were a relatively small number of companies, e.g. in the Apple/Google etc. anti-poaching case. But here tons of companies had layoffs, and it's not hard to see why:

1. There was a ton of over hiring done during the pandemic. I don't think anyone really denies this. We were getting close to the "anyone that can fog a mirror" bar that I last saw during the .com boom.

2. Most people don't understand how the raise in interest rates makes it much more difficult to defend additional headcount even for companies that are hugely profitable. I won't go into the full economic theory, but the short of it is that when cash now earns ~5%, the bar for what new projects need to earn also shoots up. Obviously when cash was earning nothing people were much more willing to make highly speculative investments.

There is no collusion, and I think a lot of folks who didn't start in the job market until after the Great Recession never saw a downturn.

In a note of optimism, I'd argue that I heard all the exact same things during the .com crash, e.g. "they're going to ship all our jobs to India." Yet software dev salaries absolutely exploded in the past 2 decades since. I've talked to some folks who have already seen a marked improvement in the job market over the past month or so - not stellar by any means, but not as awful as it was earlier in the year. In other words, I'm really confident "this too shall pass."
