We generalize pretty well. One could say: "it took you 20 years to learn python!", but actually I learned python, Java, c#... Software engineering, machine learning... How to play guitar, how to cook.. .How to speak Portuguese, ho

You can keep that secret until someone goes to court or has police raid their house over photos that were supposedly end to end encrypted. Like whatsapp saying their chat is encrypted, is it really? Well, Facebook is trying really hard to l

You can tell every consumer to check every purchase they make, and put an enormous burden on them which will not happen. Or you can legislate companies and actually get it done. That's the point of legislation: when the free market do

I could not agree more. By this logic, every young professional is incompetent and every older one is very competent. But reality is very different. I would say age and hours of experience bring wisdom, but not necessarily better thinking.

I'd really appreciate a letter with feedback after a lengthy interviewing process, I think that's really valuable. However, I don't think I'd value it after more than 3 interviews. Candidates are applying after work hour

"We have a very selective memory indeed. We have absolutely terrible judgment, are super irrational, and pretty reliably make decisions that are against our own interests, " This is a really bad argument - human intelligence is no

And yet all of them force you to keep your eyes on the road at all times or you can die. Can you honestly call that FSD?

Learning and training are not hobbies, it's something that many people don't have time to because they're overworked. If someone takes 10% of their work time to learn, at the end of a year they had the opportunity to learn a

This travesty of a case prooves that his reasons for fleeing were entirely valid. In an unjust system, it's naive to say he should just face the courts and there will be justice.

Counterpoints: Start with pip, the official package manager. You don't have to start with virtual envs: I didn't. I haven't ran into any function which I "should not use". You don't need an entry point, you can

Nitpicking an analogy goes against the point - it simplifies some ideas at the cost of modifying the details. I think OP meant to compare a known hard task vs an unknown hard task. Both are hard, but first is known to be possible to finish,

Well, although taxes are usually effective, they affect more the low and middle classes than the rich, as they can opt to pay and enjoy life as usual. Exemption to activities that are mostly enjoyed by the rich is quite absurd. People will

I'd argue that the value you get from a movie or TV show is higher than social media posts or memes, so it's not an apples to apples comparison.

In AI research lingo "understands" really means "makes decent correlations".

Couldn't disagree more: Smart programmers are are not coding thousands of lines of code every day. There's so much more to in software engineering other than coding, that's why senior engineers spend less time writing code t

That's quite a ridiculous claim. Surely they can display ads to anonymous users, That's not hard at all. But then they can't track you and profile you, which is a big no. Now is it fair for a company to track and shape the be

On another perspective, maybe HN is anti-scams, pro privacy, pro privacy and pro UX. No other discussions face such criticism, only crypto. Does everyone believe them with a burning passion? Or are people afraid of losing money? "It is

Does it pale in comparison? We already have buses and trains. We don't have any auto pilot driving better than a drunk guy.

Tesla auto pilot is like vaporware: selling software that may never be released, as requires a break through in Aai capabilities.

So you accept all unethical behavior from these billionaires and demand ethical purity from everyone else? This is quite a toxic double standard.

Do bots need to do this automatically? What if a programmer gets that database and does a quick search for those naive salts? Then he can do some pattern matching and try the same pattern in some sites like PayPal, Apple, Gmail, etc. Genera

In many cases, this is a power imbalance - the one paying you your salary makes the choices, so your choice is accept or leave. Most people will accept it, so it's no problem to let a few rebellious apples out. But in software engineer

Corporate speak is always double speak and I think it's OK that the news report what is said, and then people discuss what it means.

In my country there are middleman companies which own the cars, which might be more effective to maximize the uptime of the vehicle. Maybe this is what the article refers to?

First it was a payment method, now the fees are too high. Then it was a store of value, but it is too volatile for people who want a safe storage. It's also not private, as appare tly payments can be traced back to their user. So, what

Smart programmers can be ignorant in other areas and also jump to the comments before reading articles.

Anti-competition cases are about consumer protection,as it says in the article. We'd be in a grim society if our values were "Don't like? Don't use it" without any capacity of deeper discussion.
