Not the poster, but,

the underlying assertion is that attempts to formalize a nomenclature for personality are based on false premises; and more importantly, are not meaningful predictors of behavior (e.g. success in a given role/industry/whatever).

There is a footnote here where the question is not "are these measuring objective qualities" but "are the answers people give, to the same test, correlated strongly with things we are interested in." Such as succeeding at the "corporate rat race."

Related rabbit hole:

The meaningful argument in favor of IQ tests is this: not that what they are measuring is strongly correlated with "intelligence" however defined; but rather, that performance on these tests is correlated with things employers are interested in.

Supeficially that would include "being good at taking standardized tests" but success is I imagine more correlated with "knowing how to play the game of taking these tests, and, how to 'game' them to get the best results regardless of knowledge,"

not to mention problematic things such as "having internalized and being fluent in the dominant cultural language and its knowledge base."

I've seen DISC and Kolbe used at companies I have been at. I've learned that I have a low tolerance for structure and work best on large projects with lots of unknowns and autonomy. Explains why I've always preferred startups over larger companies. Seems like few companies can accommodate ADHD people. It's a shame because once I'm focused and interested in a project I do incredible work. But the daily standup, pick something off the queue, weekly sprints don't seem to be the environment I thrive under. Ask me to build a big system or service and I can come back in a month and deliver something incredible.
He did say "regard anyone as" so didn't actually say the GP lied, but that their arguments are so one-sided you can just assume they are lying until it's proven they're not. I don't really agree with that way of approaching things but I can see why you might do that.
I enjoyed Art of Problem Solving books as a kid. Some of them are online, and you can probably get them second-hand for relatively cheap. They're better at provoking critical thinking than most math textbooks, and favor puzzle-solving and proofs. They're targeted towards K12, but are much more rigorous than most school curriculum, so they should be a good fit if you're currently reviewing GCSE-level math.

Each of their courses have an "Are You Ready" quiz. You can take the quiz associated with the textbook you're interested in to see if it's at an appropriate level.

Hey folks - I shared about Mesop on Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40567327) ~2 months ago and got a ton of really helpful feedback. For those unfamiliar, Mesop is a new open-source Python UI framework that enables you to rapidly build AI apps.
We often get asked how Mesop differs from other Python UI frameworks like Streamlit and Gradio so we've created a comparison guide between Mesop and Streamlit and Gradio.

Home page: https://google.github.io/mesop/
GitHub: https://github.com/google/mesop

Please let us know if you have any feedback or questions about the comparison guide or Mesop in general. Thanks!

that means almost nothing. a Geiger counter can pick up radiation from a single banana. that just means the detector is sensitive, not that bushels of bananas are a health hazard. the detection threshold is completely irrelevant.

Not only that, but when you save something to a variable the reader needs to remember it in case you use that variable later again. For me personally that's exhausting.

I've seen streams-like code with a variable for almost every step, immediately used the line below. I can understand when the reason is to "explain" the meaning of the intermediate step...but even so a comment is far better on my opinion.

I always try to inline every 1-use variable/method, unless there is a good reason for not doing so.

We already produce food out of thin air using plants. It’s called photosynthesis. If you don’t want to eat those plants yourself you can feed them to ruminants and they’ll turn them to meat and fertilizer for you to grow more food out of thin air.

Seems like you either misinterpreted or I didn't communicate as well as I should have. I'm not arguing for making interviews "adversarial" in spirit (or even in substance). I'm saying that interviews are implicitly adversarial games, inw hich the recruiter is trying to (ideally) maximize the chance of obtaining relevant signals and the interviewee isn't always aligned with that goal. Often, interviewees want jobs even if they're not a "great fit". Which is why I'm arguing for in fact a less adversarial conversation, in which you infer negatives from other positive information interviewees will excitedly share.

Which would never work because real life data is messy so the hashes would not match. Even something as simple as SSN + DOB runs into loads of potential formatting and data entry issues you'll have to perfectly solve before such a system could work, and even that makes assumptions as to what data will be available from each dataset. Some may be only name and address. Some may include DoB, but the person might have lied about their DoB when filling out the form. The people entering it might have misspelled their name. It might be a person who put in a fake SSN because they're an illegal immigrant without a real one. Data correlation in the real world is a nightmare.

When you tell a data broker to delete all of the data about you, how can you be sure they get ALL of the data about you, including the ones where your name is misspelled or the DoB is wrong or it lists and old address or something? Even worse if someone comes around later and discovers the orphan data when adding new data about you and fixes the glitch, effectively undoing the data delete.

It's a catch-22 that if you want them to not collect data about you they need a full profile on you in order to be able to reject new data. A profile that they will need to keep up-to-date, which is what they were doing already.

ISPs want it all the ways.

It's such a vital telecommunication service that the government should give them subsidies to build out networks and provide subsidies to people with low incomes to purchase their services.

But when it comes to regulation, they want to argue that they are no different than Gmail and that neither the states nor the FCC have any authority to impose basic common carrier rules.

That's not even mentioning the oddness that for the sake of wiretapping, ISPs are considered common carriers subject to CALEA and, like phone services, have to use equipment that complies with federally created specs that allow real-time wiretapping.

But unfortunately the federal judiciary is on a campaign to undermine Congress and federal agencies, so we're at the point where the judiciary is saying that the Federal Communications Commission has no jurisdiction over the most important communication system ever invented despite Congress clearly giving it an authority to do so and providing a framework.

And yet, it lubricates! I've heard your claim a lot, but the fact remains, it makes machinery work more smoothly, by reducing friction, and it is effective over significant time periods. By any definition, it is a lubricant.

I have had several accounts in the past, just for fun. I'm a complete newbie, but enjoyed many articles and commented on them. I was constantly downvoted (or whatever term is used) and I was many times just innocently asking honest questions. I feel that most of the people here ARE childish and can't relate, and therefore impose their 'powers' of banning and downvoting. After a year of all that childish behavior on here, I just closed my accounts and left. I am just a very curious (and I think I am intelligent) retired senior aerospace engineer. I was just so rudely treated here that I couldn't fathom the reasons for it. I am just too ignorant of this 'new' culture, I guess...

Mark-up is something that ordinary users will never understand. "Good enough" is what they want. Printing it to check that it came out right is just fine with them. It is simply not worth it for the software to try to make everything perfect.

Case in point: my book was edited in Vellum, and it can generate PDF and EPUB. The PDF had a widow (one line at the top of the last page of the chapter), and Vellum just omitted that one-line page. To the reader it seemed like a typo (which it was, in a sense).

I "fixed" it by removing a few words up above it, so everything fit on the last full page. But it was only that I knew about widow/orphan control that I could figure that out. Just imagine how much trouble it would be to make things perfectly WYSIWYG on every printer and every type of document.

Forcibly removing books (about very specific topics related to oppressed cultural minorities) from public school libraries is not the same thing as enacting a national ban on printing or trading those books, no.

But it's a lot closer to a total ban than it is to not banning books. (And I stand by "forcibly," if you've seen any of the adults screaming at school board hearings or issuing threats over these books)
Your two arguments are actually arguments against using any password/passkey manager at all.

“Just be in control” is unfortunately bad advice when you’re … not in control.

The right to privacy is not boolean. There is a spectrum of reasonable expectations of privacy. Also, the right to privacy in public is not necessarily zero. The varying degree of rights to privacy in public are less than in private settings, but often greater than zero.

While your insurer may, by happenstance, see your license plate while you are driving around, they certainly are not following you 100% of the time. The degree to which your location is tracked when your license plate is plainly visible, is different than degree of privacy expectation when that location is being automatically recorded.

> So when it's in public, the location of your car is not "private" information.

It's just not that simple. It would be nice and convenient if "private" was a boolean value. But it is very much a float type:
