I didn't build this, but here my guess: Most companies use a handful of ATS's (applicant tracking systems), like
Greenhouse, Lever and Workday. Almost all of the jobs posted on these platforms are public and their top-level pages are indexable.

If I built something like this, I would start by searching for pages that have HTML fragments indicative to those systems a few times per week (since job listings don't change much).

While this won't do anything to reveal "real" ghost jobs (job reqs that are hidden or generic enough to be used for interesting referrals), it's probably a minor edge over LinkedIn Jobs (the home of stale jobs). Many of these companies cross post to those platforms anyway.

There we go, “think of the children”. How many do you have? How much co2 is it going to take for you to raise them until they can be used as a reliable workforce? Hopefully they don’t go sideways before…

Oh boy, have I got news for you. The best thing you can do to save the planet is not to have children. I’m pretty sure that my co2 footprint is going to be lower without children than yours with your children.
To be blunt, "the richest man in the world" is equally as dangerous as a "competitive state actor".

He has direct motive to influence the operations of the American state, the resources to amplify his messages, and has control of a platform that's mainstreamed in a way that gives it a broader reach than TikTok ever had.

Saying he's an American entity is barely meaningful. When you're that rich, you can probably pull in five new passports given 48 hours notice, so the one you carry at any given point is largely a flag of convenience.

Blaming China is a cheat code for the current political climate. See the Huawei fiasco: No level of audits, disclosures, or actual technical evidence about security would satisfy-- It Is Foreign So It Is Evil. So I'm sure that the hype against TikTok was fanned in part by their competitors who saw an opportunity.
For this type of problem, unless you are trying to set range or climb rate records, understanding lift and moment (and control derivatives) is more important than accurately modeling drag. Panel methods shine at this, and are both easier to use and much much faster than CFD — enough that wrapping them in optimizers is trivial. I personally prefer AVL, but there are other open source alternatives as well.
Yep, it’s hard, doesn’t mean it’s not the right solution.

> For small local brands I'd exempt them until the economics became viable.

Why would they suddenly become viable? The only way that would happen is if the price of the product is increased to cover the costs of what you're proposing. This will destroy small suppliers and increase the cost of everything to cover a set of risks that you haven't even fully characterized yet.
But all the honey labels say the only ingredient is honey. We've always been able to assume that with things like jams, or any other food, when manufacturers adulterate it with things like corn syrup, or even mild poisons, they proudly say so on the label. To not do so is fraud. How can people just claim that an entire industry is committing fraud??? Even this article doesn't mention anything about proof, just suspicions. Why can't they prove it? To make these kind of claims without proof is arguably worse than fraud. This would all be outrageous if it's true, since it becomes impossible to make any rational choices as consumers if the food system has gone fraudulent.

This article buries the lede with a bunch of horrendous strawmen. The actual thesis is that software craftsmanship should be applied in the same way at all stages of a company. This is a very dangerous line of thinking that has killed many a startup staffed by experienced who engineers who are working in large scale systems and teams. I've seen it many times, and TBH it's not just an engineering problem, it's that people who have only worked in large companies don't have a real sense of what is truly essential, and so a huge percentage of their practices are effectively cargo culted over without any real reflection.

In the case of engineering, you need to apply a lot of judgement based on the situation that the company is in—how much runway, how much traction, actual product goals, etc. You must keep things as simple as possible at all times to optimize for future optionality as you search for product-market fit. All code is a liability, and you must fight tooth and nail against any individual who is getting ahead of their skis in terms of losing focus on the next thing needed to prevent the company from dying. The absolute worst thing you can do is bring some journeyman engineer and don't give them enough scope and ownership to satisfy their brain capacity or you'll end up with ridiculously over-engineered systems that impose a huge velocity tax for what needs to be a very lean and agile phase. I say this disclaimer first because 99% of people in tech trying to do a startup will fail by trying to do too much too soon, and have no intuitive sense of how narrow the tightrope from 0 to 1 success really is.

Of course that doesn't mean you shouldn't focus on code and system quality. Absolutely you should have tests, but you should apply serious judgement onto the nature of the tests in light of your best predictions about the future. You should think about what code is foundational, and what decisions may be one way doors, but not obsess over leaf nodes and experiments that are just as likely to be abandoned or scrapped as they are to be built upon. Making these calls is tough—no one can predict the future—but long tenures in fast growing code bases helps. Seeing the impact of ones decisions 2, 5, 10 years down the line is eye opening, experience is useful here as long as one still thinks from first principles and doesn't just rely on rote practices because they are comfortable.

Too bad climate change is happening now, so the model will have to extrapolate.
A few months ago I was looking for an EV. Went to the local Citroen/Peugeot dealership (I live in France), asked what they had. They told me I could have the new e-C3, the basic model, with 300KM range, for ~35000€. I asked how long it would take to have the car once I ordered it. They told me six months.

A few weeks later I went to the local MG dealership. They told me I could have an MG4, the high-end model (heated seats, automatic AC, fast charging), with 420KM range, for ~35000€. I asked how long it would take to have the car once ordered. They told me I could have it the next day, I would just need to choose a color that's in stock.

I bought the MG.

Basically, the European manufacturers sell cars made to order. You tell them the exact model you want, the color you want, and they put it on their roster, to come out of the factory months later.

The Chinese bring over thousands of cars to Europe, and they just sell whatever is in stock. When they have too much stock, they reduce the price. They don't even really care about those pesky European import tariffs.

Those Chinese cars are better equipped, have longer range, and cost less than the European ones. Meanwhile, the Europeans are busy selling their old petrol-burning models to south America in exchange for cheap south-American meat [1]. No wonder they're losing the EV war.

Good design is emotional. It adds spark to most of our everyday sightseeing, inspires and is too often overlooked- at least in recent times. Regarding the recent trends among car design... We are in a dark age.

I agree that many parts can be interchangeable but modularity can be done in a way that doesn't result in every car looking like the blobs we see about today. I wouldn't mind if there were only a handful of designs around with slight variations in trim and specs -so long as I like those designs of course! I know that is subjective so lets keep things interesting and focus on making things that get the job done but also in varying styles. Both can be achieved.

The need for fashion is made up, yes- but so is everything else. There's a balance between overly individualistic cars and the most cost efficient, reliable and uninspiring 4 door. Lately we have been leaning too far into the latter.

I do think the prices of legal machines guns relative to the simplicity of creating one suggest that there should be some kind of NFA legal way to obtain new manufacture machine guns.

People are greedy in every industry. In industries without regulation, high levels of competition keeps prices low and quality high. Once we deregulate, entrepreneurs like me will start health care companies to compete with the old players, and we can bury them or force them to vastly improve their services and reduce prices.

Do you believe we own our phones today, in a control sense? If not, you might not be open to my view. I think we are collectively accepting that the power tools-like capability of computers tends to be used against the general consumer more than they use it themselves, hence the move of some critical auth work into chips like the TPM/TEE/SEP. I think I engaged in some of the same Slashdot discussions back then, but anymore, I only see a cybersecurity war currently which we seem to be losing.

Could TPM requirements be the metaphorical camel's nose under the tent before we end up with a global immutable ID that spies on me and reports everything I do to enable a surveillance dystopia? Can I be blocked by some remote authority for good via remote TPM attestation requirements and denied the ability to execute code, make network requests?

The 'state' as it were doesn't seem to be able to take control of our computing from the current equilibrium of OS+hardware stacks available to the world, despite the predictions from TPM opponents. At least yet. Open-source OSes are arguably stronger than ever. Some of the corporate players have positioned themselves as some of the biggest roadblocks to state control, or transformed into security companies. The corporate-state merger of control over the consumer hasn't quite materialized the way it was predicted.

Complexity is way, way up, but the idea you own your own computer is still there, for a lot of definitions of 'own'. Are you willing to anchor your trust in even a single other entity? Will you run code you have no idea how to understand or the time/resources to audit? The complexity today seems so high and the amount of trust to get anything done so substantial, I don't know how relevant computing purity arguments are any longer.
If you're going to take into account prior probability you should consider the fact that every single pandemic and disease that has ever infected humans did not leak from a lab and instead evolved in nature, usually in animals. In other words:

Prior probability of zoonotic provenance: 100%

Prior probability of lab leak: 0%
the reason that adulterated honey is difficult to detect is that honey is just sugar syrup, and if you add more sugar syrup you'll get more sugar syrup than you started with.

the mistaken belief is that there is something special about natural honey. people: it's sugar syrup, it'll give you diabetes as fast as a truckload of mountain dew.

Now, I don't believe in homeopathy, perhaps you do. But that's what the honey cult is, homeopathic. What the govt should allow is the sale of labelled fake honeys, it would be dirt cheap and would taste indetectably different, i.e every bit as good, and no more unhealthy.

(if you don't like the viscosity of your sugar syrup, change the %age of water. if you want it to crystalize, dry it out. it's rock candy, not magic)
> The only way to stop people from blasting resumes is to make it cost them something, for example charge $5 — which goes to charity — to apply for the job.

That's just more short-termism. It ignores the desperation of the masses for the Middle Class lifestyle they've been promised, in favor of yet-another-hurdle to be jumped over for a chance at a job they need to survive. All you'll end up doing is encouraging further fraud with such a proposal.

So what can we try instead? Well for starters, we can focus on reducing the need to seek external applicants in the first place. While labor mobility is critical to a healthy workforce, it's also worth noting that most workers would rather have stability over mobility, all else being equal. People want to work to live, not live to work - and having a reliable job, with a reliable wage that keeps pace with inflation, that enables them to buy a home and pay the bills and maybe take a vacation every year, will keep them from seeking other opportunities elsewhere, thus reducing the overall applicant pool for new positions. Workers are surprisingly fine with their excess value going to Capital, provided they're not having to decide between paying for insulin or rent this month because they haven't had a raise in three years.

In addition to decreasing applicant pools by improving job stability and longevity, we can also stop placing arbitrary requirements irrelevant to the position at hand. This sounds counter-intuitive - if you remove the degree requirement from a role, you'll have more applicants - but the reality is that oftentimes workers will pass up roles not requiring a degree because they'll perceive it as being more "junior". This isn't a great idea for every role or business, obviously, and YMMV, but it can be a different way of thinning the herd.

Then there's the tried, the true, the oft-reliable:

> A lot use recruiters to reach out to talent, that is how I got my current job.

Look, in case my comment history doesn't make this glaringly obvious, I'm not great at the whole social networking thing. Recruiters connect highly-effective introverts like myself, with employers who don't want to rely solely on word-of-mouth referrals (especially in an era where said referrals are openly traded or sold on forums like Blind). All of my big career moves came through external recruiters, of whom I'm profoundly grateful to for opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise. While I'm generally against outsourcing as a practice, the fact is that a good recruiting firm will save your teams time they can use on meaningful work, and only present candidates to you they feel will meet your needs. Whether or not the employer will trust the recruiter is a topic for another day (I've lost count of the number of times my recruiter, myself, and the customer's PoC all thought I was perfect, but a Director somewhere didn't want to trust outsiders), but it's still arguably one of the better investments a company can make in talent acquisition.

Isn't there a business opportunity somewhere, providing exams and certificates for software developers? I find it surprising that many rich companies have this problem, and there is no standard solution yet.

How much would it cost e.g. Google to start an independent certification company, with branches in 20 different cities across USA. The top candidates could be also offered a job at Google, but every candidate would get a certificate confirming their skill level that many other companies would probably be happy to accept.

At first, the testing could be done for a symbolic cost, because Google already spends some money to interview its candidates anyway, and this would also serve the purpose. But later, when many companies start accepting the certificate, you could let the candidates pay the full cost.

The first rounds of testing could be done at a computer (provided by the testing company), you would just make sure the candidates are not cheating. Only those who achieve a sufficiently high score would be later interviewed by humans. This would be way more efficient than interviewing everyone individually.
