NYPD complained to Waze about warning drivers of police checkpoints [0]. This quote from the article seems as compelling an argument as anything I've seen re: HKMap: > The Waze website advertises the feature on its website, saying,

If you work for Facebook, you may want to disclose your affiliation (at least in this thread). If not, I'm sorry for the mixup - I'm just guessing based on your username.

I haven't used Mastodon, but this is kind of the reddit model, right? Obviously some subreddits are >>> 1k subscribers, but they typically scale the quantity of moderators up accordingly. Do Mastodon admins share common blockl

Are there examples of decentralized/unmoderated platforms with similar popularity (= success for the purpose of this conversation) to Facebook? I suspect reddit is the best example of blending "something for everybody" with &

If I think this is unacceptable[1] and I'm skeptical of the nebulous "AI will do this job in the future" claims, are there conclusions to be drawn other than "UGC isn't sustainable on a global, public platform"

I didn't read the Google Cloud part as an assertion of authority, just as a disclosure - if they're talking about competitors (and especially how the choice of competitor negatively impacted GitHub) I appreciate it. (disclosure -

The $25 admission gets you in for 3 consecutive days, which seems like it should still (mostly) support your way of using the museum?

You still do an on-site with the hiring company, which in my experience is the best place to evaluate soft skills anyway.

I had a great experience, even as someone primarily working in embedded development. They only targeted SF & NY when I went through their process, which wound up unexpectedly being a dealbreaker for me, but if it weren't for that I

Thanks for everything you do - your app is a huge part of the reason I can live in the Seattle area without a car. One note - I just donated, but I almost bailed out when I saw I had to go through the whole UW process (especially when I the

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16341265 - basically, many top-tier journals won't accept papers that are also published in open access journals.

It's worth noting that technically 20 is only an auto-success on attacks and saves. The way you describe is a very common house rule, but it seems to frequently be an accidental house rule (more of a misreading).

I believe this requires the attacker to have access to the ASR neural net's weights, so Mozilla's seems like the only popular framework that's vulnerable right now (not that I'm opposed to them keeping things open).

It just populates the form fields, you still have to click submit from YC's page.

I recently went through the Triplebyte process and can confirm. I went SDE2@MS -> SDE2@AMZN, but my Triplebyte offers (and others outside of the big 5) were for Senior roles.

I work on a team of 25-35 year old devs doing firmware/performance work for a BigCo - there are definitely plenty of people hiring in the space, but in general you only use C if you have custom hardware, and you only have custom hardwa

This looks super interesting - great video! Everything is processed offline, I assume? No code leaves the machine?

+1. I'd even be fine with .NET, but I'd rather not work with JS, and that seems like the main remote tech.

In my group's case, it means both. We expect new hires to know C++ for most of our work, but for portability across different architectures C is sometimes still necessary.

There are still some of us that write (and hire for!) straight C.

Seconded - I have a Precision M4800 for setting up and doing actual work (real keyboard, big screen, etc.) and an XPS 13 for portability....in theory. In reality, the M4800 has been off for months, and the XPS 13 is the best device I'v

It's discussed near the bottom of the writeup, but the author suggests somebody else may be better suited to do it: What about Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) instead of Lump Sum Investing (LSI)? This one is going to be a little more diffi

Despite being a US citizen who also enjoys guns, I don't understand this rationale at all. What kind of government overreach would private ownership of firearms stop? It obviously wouldn't interfere with any sort of targeted attac

Interesting, I'd never seen these before. I can't seem to find any info on pricing or availability on Framed's site, though; am I missing something?
