Cool project but doesn’t this weaken the “assessing skills” part of the hiring process? (Or maybe we can call it cheating?) The end result would be that hiring managers would just end up relying more on lame signals like which school you w

Yes I’d much prefer it over the same old articles about Musk drama and impending doom from AI.

This has nothing to do with free speech. It’s about a foreign hostile government having access and influence over a social network that gathers data on US citizens. You don’t think the CIA leveraged the US based tech companies’ data and i

What I don’t understand is why, given the current state of the job market do recruiters even need to do this? There’s so much obviously good talent out there that will take roles that they are over qualified to in. The candidates are ther

It really is impressive how HN has been such a quality community for so long. I can’t think of any of many other online communities that I have been using for 10+ years. So definitely much gratitude to the mods from me for the work they d

Yikes what this guy is basically admitting to is using astroturfed cancel culture tactics to make power plays in American politics.

I saw her speak once at a technology and art conference and I remember getting the sense that much of what she was saying was hot air skillfully applied to draw in grants from companies who want to have partnerships with the prestigious bra

The frontier of enforcement on this issue evolves over time but I highly doubt some prosecutor is going to charge you personally with a DMCA violation. But a service that lets others do that could be a target.

Maybe the batteries included approach allows the ORM to synergies with the admin in a way that would be harder in other frameworks where the tooling is more ad hoc?

> Programming languages are tools, not religions, but you wouldn’t know that from talking to some Rust propagandists. This first sentence is criticizing religious thinking from Rust supporters. At the same time, the main image is a Rust

Adding on to this great point… it only seems like a matter of time before the ecosystem becomes sophisticated enough to solve these problems. Tools and addon services will fill the gap to provide whatever niche experiences people are look

In what market? I ate at a fancy Indian restaurant last week where you would just tell the chef what you were hungry for via their WhatsApp and he would cook something up for you. Seemed like a cool concept.

Honestly, as our society expands its ability to extend lifespans, the true question for each individual will be “how long do I want to live?” And for some people this might mean wanting to live for a shorter time their their “natural” life

What I don’t understand is why Musk thinks that he won’t be nailed by anti-trust suits by governments. Google is currently having their internal communications exposed to the world. Can you imagine what scandalous nuggets would show up if

To be fair, he wasn’t blaming anyone per se. He took responsibility for his own thoughts.

The summary seems to focus a bit more about fringe right wing theories. But there are some increasingly common extreme left views that include violence (eg “Eat the rich”). Not to mention the recent glorification of actions of Hamas by pe

Only because of the network effect. But once enough people I follow on Twitter switch to something else, I will happily follow.

I’d say the opposite. People who criticize those who don’t like Twitter are just virtue signaling in the opposite direction and are just ignoring the obvious red flags of the new Xitter leadership: - the policy of suspending accounts that

In order to avoid future retaliation, whenever I leave a bad review for a business, I use an email address that doesn’t link back to me.

“Show them the door” seems a bit callous. If the hiring manager didn’t think to talk about on call responsibilities, that’s their own mistake. Maybe that doesn’t change that they need someone on call and maybe they still need to find a ne

Thanks for the helpful post. I especially liked the part where you called it “pseudoscience” without engaging points they listed. Helped me to really be convinced.

You say you’re open to any testable hypothesis. But I’d argue that there is just as little evidence that consciousness arises from biological processes as there is that it arises from the universe. And the article talks about that. (Ie th

There’s some subtlety here between the terms platform and app. For example, Amazon is a single platform (unified login and billing), which gives it many of the advantages of the super app. But Amazon doesn’t have a super app. They have s
