Did you see the beginning of my post? > I used to be against takehome evaluations (I thought companies showed the most respect to candidates by being present during the evaluation), but we've recently had a few candidates say they p

No. It's a reusable prompt as a skills assessment, not something we'd use as work product. We do not have candidates sign NDAs.

Aha. Thank you. Should have realized I was thinking about it backwards.

Uh... but the CDC won't even acknowledge how many tests have been conducted. https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1540743939275096069 Won't have high case counts if you don't have testing! Yeah w

Nit: I think you meant "I don't think anyone would dispute that it's a blow". Saying "I don't think anyone would argue that X" means "I don't think anyone thinks X".

I have 3 different Heroku accounts of different vintages, one of which I haven't logged into in ages. Sure enough, each got the notice. So yeah, ready to call BS on this being "a portion" of users.

One thing that I suspect is true, but sort of hard to avoid and not really anyone's fault (although, potentially part of the "deliberate" value of HN) is that HN dwellers tend to be pre-disposed look up to YC companies, impli

By add in Lyft, I assume you mean the fact that Lyft is not actually a YC company? (vs, the tweets refer to Lyft as Stripe's batchmate)

If I had to guess, the wording is in the study's FAQ is carefully chosen: "an application detailing our research methods" doesn't necessarily mean "an application with the verbatim text of the emails we planned to s

My take on this is that Ireland is now willing to come into compliance because post-Brexit, they now have a monopoly on "urban core that could sustain an HQ for multinationals in a natively-English-speaking country in the EU." In

They technically announced it [1], but I agree that it got next to no coverage. Presumably they deliberately "silently" put the announcement on their blog without circulating it to news outlets. HN discussion at the time [2]. [1

Think of ETH fees as more or less an auction. When you submit a transaction to the Ethereum network, you're hoping it will be mined as soon as possible. Miners select which transactions to include based on the miner fee. The minimum

Er, yes. The topic of the linked article - the reason that this is coming to light in the news now - is indeed, that a shareholder lawsuit has been brought against them (Zuckerberg, Sandberg, etc are named defendants and the company is nom

This piece addresses (and provides data to refute) the common claim that increased unemployment benefits are the source of worker hesitancy. But it doesn't address eviction moratoriums, which to me seem like they could be a pretty sign

The cofounder was telling the truth (or, at least, nothing in the lawsuit implies that he was not). The plaintiffs in this case are claiming that when they linked their bank accounts to PayPal/Venmo/etc using Plaid they didn'

I guess it might technically legally be fraud but OTOH I wouldn't call it "wrong" because if you maintained CA domicile you'd keep paying CA income tax on your income. And with TX not having income tax, it's almost

IANAL but my understanding is that companies have to register to do business in each state that they want to employ remote workers in. So if you're a Texas resident, the CA company would have had to register in Texas to have you on pa

Not to be pedantic but "Silicon Valley janitor" (at least if it's for a big enough tech co) _might_ be doing OK. Various tech companies have publicly committed to paying their own hourly staff and subcontracted workers like
