It's even easier to do nothing and have people contact you.

I got my current job because a recruiter cold-called me about my Linked-In profile. It was a perfect match for a position she was trying to fill.

I wasn't looking, but it wasn't hard to persuade me to switch either.
It also excludes a lot of people from entrepreneurial activity: if you are over 30 or have kids you better have health insurance, and thus work for a big corp instead of bootstrapping a small business. My SOs individual health ins policy went from $250/mo in 2014 to $1000/mo in 2023.

I'm not particularly on the autism spectrum (possibly on the shallow end) but I can absolutely assure you this is not an autism spectrum-specific trait.

Clearly, folks on the spectrum are going to tend to value different things than folks on the spectrum.

I'm not sure if you are venturing into "normies are sheeple, but us aspies think for ourselves!" territory but if so, I would tell you that you are wrong in the strongest possible terms.

Why would [a person with ASPD] person ever change?

Because there are a lot of downsides to constantly clashing with society, and a lot of upsides to living harmoniously/synergistically with society. If your neighbors don't loathe you, you can probably ask them to feed your cat while you're on vacation.

I mean, on a micro scale, yeah. If a person with ASPD feels no guilt whatsoever, obviously they can maximize personal gain from every interaction.

But things like reputation matter. If a person with ASPD has a reputation of exploiting and cheating everybody they interact with, people will avoid them. They can constantly seek out new people, and some do, but that is "expensive" in terms of time and effort and not necessarily going to be worth it to a lot of individuals even from a purely objective, amoral perspective.

It's tangential, but, on the macro scale. A lot of people are liberal/progressive for reasons of empathy, or at least that is the stereotype -- ie, the "bleeding heart liberal." I think that's true to an extent but I also think there are a lot of purely selfish and amoral reasons to favor a more collective approach to society. I think that even if you surgically removed my ability to empathize with others I'd still be super liberal.
Between a rock and a hard place.

Good: Could a group create biased indexed web pages with SEO-like techniques so Gemini could had been used to affect the elections? That could put Google in hot water.

Bad: Refusing to answer questions takes an active role, and that could be used by political actors to shape hoe misinformation or influencing campaigns are presented so trying to verify or ask for them will get refusals for some demographics and answers for others.

Ugly: Announcing that they are doing this, so having this capability, doesn't tell what other things that can be seen as manipulation they might be doing but not announcing it, in this or another moment of time, or restricted to some people/sector/country.

I much preferred the articles Casey wrote some years ago.

His oral communication style is quite messy/noisy for my taste, his writing style is also not super terse but I can parse it more easily and get to the good stuff.

Overall the handmade gang is doing a good job, even if they are often quite defensive and sometimes obnoxious.
It’s the reason they made the news.

Their ability to bridge other networks may be useful to you. It’s what they did before the iMessage thing.

I agree though a ton of their possible demand is gone now due to that. Add in RCS later this year, and even if iMessage came back I’m not sure it would be worth it to many.

But hey. I didn’t know they existed before that. I do now. That’s something. I also distrust their judgement based on their actions. But I’m sure that not true for everyone who now knows they exist.
It's mindblowing that the legions of developers around the globe haven't already made a perfect replacement lined up when Reddit inevitably crashes and burn like Digg did.

Also, I know people are going to come out of the woodwork with examples, but they'll all be inexplicably inferior with even worse UI, terrible performance, and problems that even old.reddit.com solved decades ago.

> If I want to do this with unikernels I'm lost, would I do it with AWS services like EC2 and auto scaling groups or something?

This is a key point that many many people struggle with until they actually push their unikernels out to the cloud. It is one thing to run ops locally but try doing a 'ops image create -t aws' followed by 'ops instance create -t aws' and then you'll understand how we manage to push a lot of the scheduling work back onto the cloud provider itself.
I clearly need to do a better job with my profile, because recruiters never bother me.
How is it fraud?

How is this any different from “gardening leave”?

They’re not even paying him.
You wouldn't force a girl to date you because you know it's not rational. You wouldn't force kids to play with you because it's not rational either. Simple as that. Just because somebody thinks it is actually rational doesn't make it so. The kid wasn't rational at all, if anything his behavior was completely irrational
> I basically stopped reading Amazon and Yelp reviews

I've done that too and am sure many people here on HN realized how gameable and gamed they are but sadly it still works for the masses who fall into these traps like flies to a candle. When these this kind of deception will stop working we will have reached a total trust of 0.
Is it really employment fraud? It seems the contract and terms would be pretty clear. Generally you have to knowingly misrepresent a fact for something to be fraud. It seems this is all out in the open.
> lots of assumptions

Well, I'm not a mindreader, so perhaps you are right. Can you at least help me clear up the bad assumptions, and tell me, if resume's are not giving you the information you need, why are you using resumes?

> we don't use keyword filtering.

If your policy is to reject anybody without nodejs experience, you are using keyword filtering. It is what it is man.

> filter out more good ones.

I have sympathy here; its not clear exactly how to improve the filter, but if you reviewed 1,000 applications and found nobody, its impossible to filter out more good ones :-) There's no change you could make which would filter out more good people.

> You have to prioritize time

I have sympathy here too :-( Honestly, I can give you guesses as to how to improve, but I have no clue. Its one of the reasons I didn't go into management: I didn't see any way of doing it any better than it was already being done. You wonder if I've ever hired for an engineering position: no, I haven't, because I didn't think I'd be able to do a good job of it.

But one thing I do know, is that if a system isn't working, it needs to change, whether you know exactly how it should be changed or not.

People still have/use status messages? I haven't seen a status message in almost decades now probably, and definitely not in a work context.

Signaling you are sick and working via a status message just seems like an odd choice. The pessimist in me looks at this as signaling for sympathy.
Fans often have opinions on which players are good or bad teammates, I doubt their use of that word means they themselves were on the team (not that it's impossible, just very unlikely).
> The risk is that your snooping boss now thinks they'd better not send you on that expensive training course or assign you that big, important project where success could get you promoted. And that you'll never get a chance to address their fears, as they want to keep the snooping secret.

What a great reason to encourage employees at the margin to job hop! Better pay, negotiation of those expensive training courses and/or big important projects.

What's the downside here, exactly, to a more fluid labor supply/supplier's market?
I will be deep in the cold cold ground before I recognize Twitter's new name
I think the reason for this is simple: Ikea does make some pretty poor-quality furniture, but it's often on the floor right next to some very well-built stuff that will last for many years.

Price is sometimes an indicator (I bought two Ikea dressers ~15 years ago; I kept the cheaper one for only a few years while the more expensive one is still going strong) but not always (my 18-year-old sofa was the entry-level option at the time).
It isn't my responsibility to adapt to your slow day. Keep it to yourself, be a professional. This "trend" seems little more than just immaturity.

Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic
>junk now being sold as luxury.

That's always been the case though. There has always been junk marketing itself as "luxury" to milk the nouveau riche. It's not like real Coach bags utilize some magic leather that doesn't degrade just the same as the $200 leather purse you buy from a local artisan. It's not like the brick that Supreme sold was made of some sort of magical clay. The luxury purse companies don't burn their leftover product to protect some secret of Dr Who purses that are bigger or magically organized on the inside, but because the entire value of the brand is "I can afford this and you cannot"

Luxury has ALWAYS been about signalling and displaying status and power. It's always about rubbing the prole's faces in their supposed supremacy. Remember, they have money because they are better than you, definitely not because there are systems and structures in place that make it easier to get rich for the already wealthy and connected.

Unfortunately it seems so many people really struggle to understand that while quality often costs a lot, costing a lot does not imply quality in any way. If you can afford to spend oodles on marketing for your product, you probably aren't spending as much on quality as people assume you would.
If you rank major social media websites by click fraud, reddit is typically in the 1st or 2nd spot in any given month.

Standards will almost certainly decrease, especially for people in top 60%. And possibly for everyone.

The argument in favor is financial. But anyone with halfway decent medical coverage - tech workers, government employees, retirees, union workers, etc, it’s almost certainly going to go down.

Part of the reason is that Americans do get pretty decent care when they can afford it.

I can tell you personal horror stories about my time in Europe and ex-Europe.

I’d say the real problem in America isn’t even payment - it’s how medical information is siloed and treated like proprietary data. Usually under the guise of patient privacy.

Look into the iPhone unlock scam networks. They’re using blackmail tactics as it is.

Anyway, no, the mugger isn't going to try to unlock it while holding you at gun point. They'll rip and run, and sell it for $20 to a fence who will pass it up the chain. Usually they end up in other countries.

Similar in concept to the groups that will take cars stolen in the US, grind off all the VIN plates and other identifying marks, fake paperwork, and then sell them into markets in Africa and the Middle East where the buyers don't ask questions, and government officials are easily and publically bribed.
The way this works is that you take a package (like nginx or node or what-have-you) and then you use any of the configuration vars like 'File' or 'Dirs' or 'MapDirs' and the like to create the filesystem with what you want on it: https://docs.ops.city/ops/configuration#files .

You can then deploy this as-is with a simple config.json or you can create your own new package (for instance if it's something like node and you want to share it with your team).
These things are vanity metrics.

IMO, the best devs can end up with negative LOCs per measurement period. Neophytes will never have negative LOCs. Mediocre devs who copy and paste a lot can have really high LOCs.

And the more documentation you have the more out of sync it is with reality.
Interesting! Anyone here remember Pidgin? It was such a fantastic app for chatting with friends on AIM, MSN, ICQ, gchat (XMPP), and IRC all from one interface. It even had an "off the record" (OTR) plugin that was an early example of end-to-end encryption.

It was a good illustration of how an open source app could surpass all the proprietary alternatives because it wasn't subject to the same incentives as a commercial company. Although obviously all those companies wised up and killed XMPP...
Ask HN: Why do companies go for a mutual agreement for layoffs?
I work in a company that just had a layoff round.
We are not US-based btw.

Buy why do they go for a mutual agreement instead of just the common severance package? They usually claim it's the same amount and even sometimes offer an increase in health insurance for an extra few months, which isn't a part of severance usually.
I somehow doubt that’s the case when all the guys are idle (for months there was no structure at all and I could see everything).
and also fails at math about 7% of the time which is abysmal compared to a $7 calculator that fails about 0.00000000001% of the time. that's far more discounting of intelligence than the times it gets the math right is affirming.

Most people on HN always repeat the sentiment that if you build more housing, prices will fall. I think you're right, these will sell for far above average. We don't have a housing shortage problem, we have a housing turned into a financialized asset problem.
The article is earnestly written, but -- as often with blog post research -- it falls apart on faulty premises.

They rely on tables from early 20th century research, but in doing so you have to consider the history of the "calorie" itself and changes in how it was being measured and quantified in both individual ingredients and prepared food.

In their reference period, it was still all pretty much guesstimates as a thorough catalog of experimentally determined calorie counts wouldn't appear for decades.

https://spectrum.ieee.org/how-counting-calories-became-a-sci...

Better research would need to go back and look for reliable diet logs (good luck) and then try to work up calorie counts using modern measures, but even that is tricky because there's reason to doubt the nutrition profiles of most ingredients/meals have held steady in the last 100+ years anyway.

So, this is a fun little "make you think" piece, but not anything you can take seriously.
It’s not good enough to run a business that supports you, your family, and your employees families anymore. Everything has to be the next billion-dollar big idea that’ll make the books. Even small businesses have the feel of soul-less big business because of this. It’s disheartening that this is what the tech industry has become.
> If you want an opposing opinion, check out Python.

I would argue that Go is a fair comparison, Python is not.

Python is just a mess of a language, dependency hell etc.

You do realise Go has log/slog in stdlib now ? So structured logging is now in stdlib.
Yeah I don't really get it either except that there's a whole basically half of the media that will do anything they can to demonize it. Our healthcare as it is now is atrocious. I wait a month for an appointment for a simple thing. I have a friend whose kid is special needs and he has been waiting for months for results of a genetics test that he's repeatedly been told they have but they keep rescheduling because "the results aren't ready yet."

It's costing him an arm a leg and his kid is not getting potentially important treatment because of it.

But I have heard endless talking points about how "You'll just wait until you die under a single payer" or that care will degrade. It's sad. I've had arguments with people about this and they can only repeat those talking points and pretend they have personal experience with people in other countries because some talking head on the radio told them "The Brits are always waiting for their healthcare some die before getting there"

I was part of these people a decade ago. I've grown a lot since then and the time there has become a huge learning experience because I now see how manipulated I was. I thought I was "informed" because I listened to these talking heads tell me what to think all day. Truth is, I feel more informed today. I learn from whatever comes up but everything comes through a lens of "This may be special interests manipulating me."

Anyway, yeah. Long story short, from my perspective at least, the people against it don't really know why they're against it. They've just been told to think that and they think that makes them informed. The reality is our healthcare system is trash and will bankrupt anyone but the richest people in the case of an emergency but a huge percentage of the US is against making it better because SOCIALISM.
I'm afraid I can't direct you to anywhere with the caveats you've set. If Reddit does do the inevitable, I hope you find an alternative that you can tolerate.
If we didn't have money, our "free lunch" was a peanut butter sandwich. The problem is (at least in elementary and junior high) you probably weren't sure if your parents even paid the school for lunches. So you would get to the end of the line, select your entre, apple, and milk, and then put in your pin, and the lunch lady will take your tray back, and hand you a peanut butter sandwich (no jelly).

Not sure what the free lunch is now days, but probably not peanut related.
You don't understand network effects and information lock-in which is exactly why "legions of developers" fail at replacing reddit. Reddit is where the people are and because it is where the people are it is where all the information is and because it is where all the information is it is where the people are and etc etc. Until you break that loop you don't have a chance at replacing reddit no matter how much better your UI is.

My angle was more about the ambiguity of the status/using the phrase, but I can see how it may appear insensitive to others. It definitely wasn't my intention.
"Critics of estimation" usually do this because managers don't actually know the concept of "estimation" and define your worth and paycheck on this concept. So it's just easier to simplify it to "just random".
I agree with the fact Epic isn't little, but I also agree it's crazy Steam is still taking 30% post the Greenlight deluge.

When they launched, afaik they were being pretty selective. A game being on Steam meant it was a good game, and in a way they were actually a publisher providing you with high converting distribution channels. It was like marketing and PR were almost baked in.

Now being on Steam means nothing. In fact they happily declared it means nothing: https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-says-it-will-no-longer-police-...

Steam even normalized a class of game (Early Access) that actually means negative things in general.

Once they transitioned from publisher to glorified CDN + Forum Hosting, I think they should have reworked the pricing to reflect that.
There have been many definitions of intelligence, some of which have been constructed such that they had only specific races[0] be classified as intelligent, while others (the slaves) were classified as unintelligent.

Of the tests/definitions that separate humans from non-human animals, the three I grew up with were language, tool use, and the mirror test. AI can definitely do the first two — LLMs know far more languages, natural and programming, than I do — and I don't know either way about the third for reasons related to why I am also dubious about how effective it is really.

IMO those tests are not great, and we don't have a meaningful way to put humans and dolphins on the same scale for the same reason you can't meaningfully put a 747 and a Harley Davidson on the same scale for vehicle goodness.

He is listed on the team's restricted list. So, it's completely legal.

In MLB, the restricted list is a contract status where the player is still associated with the team but inactive (and the roster position is freed up to be filled). The player can be traded to another team, become active again, etc. This status can be used when a player has major legal or health issues (in this case, it's uncontrolled bipolar + schizophrenia).
Interesting. I imagine bias plays a role in humans coming behind. Also I suppose having perfect recall access to all similar studies makes a difference
No, if you make the 25-man roster, it's $700,000 [1]. The minimum for the 40-man roster is around $80K. This player was signed as a player on the "restricted list" which does not fall into the 40-man roster [2]. They signed him for $0.
