Ikr? It's like everyone thinks "It is simply not possible to set a price on an item so that its total price is a nice round number after tax is applied! One would need to... invent a special kind of math to do that!" It&#x2

Could (or do) you include a catch basin at the bottom to automatically return the odd errant lost ball to the queue?

I'm a bit confused by this. Codex does not appear to be one of the options?

Two clarifications. 1) “Leverage” isn’t a magic word for formal jurisdiction. In Bantam Books and Backpage v. Dart , courts held that informal pressure by officials with perceived authority can be unconstitutional even without direct reg

Technology Connections is not a narcissist or arrogant. He's just a big geek about devices, and a bit of a comedian. Don't take it so seriously.

You misread what I wrote. My point remains and has always been: when executive offices with regulatory or funding leverage lean on intermediaries to manage public discourse, as both Democrats and Republicans do, it raises the same constitut

That is not an inaccurate reading of Bantam Books at all. The Court held that informal governmental pressure can violate the First Amendment when it operates "in a calculated scheme to suppress publication." The key factors were

That is a reasonable summary of the ideal framework: government can request, private parties can accept or refuse. The problem is the practical imbalance of power when the requester controls licensing, regulation, or future oversight. The

Just to clarify for the zero other people who have gotten down to here: that’s only a partial description of Murthy v. Missouri. Standing was denied because the plaintiffs couldn’t demonstrate direct, individualized harm, not because the

Standing was denied, not the underlying finding. The Court never ruled that coordination between the White House and social-media platforms was constitutionally fine. The district court had found likely coercion, which remains uncontested o

I'll bite, despite your goal-post shift. Both sides do this, by the way, but you asked specifically for Democratic abuse of state institutions to suppress speech: The Biden administration engaged in communications with social media com

Sure. You don't have to convince me. I mean, go for it. We're just telling you why we would exit the process immediately as candidates. As an employer, I would take the time to screen someone directly.

Also, every company has its own unique need. Are you going to tailor your test for every company? Some will need fast JavaScript, some will need slow, deliberate FP. No single test will cover all of these needs. A serious company would neve

I tell you, this is not a new idea. The only new bit is that AI is slapped on, but it's been done. There is a reason it's not widespread practice. Be honest with yourself: if a company gave you a contract and they decided to do it

Back in the day, some kind of online sticker company needed a developer. I submitted my resume and they told me via email I needed to pass an online test. The testing was very similar to your company, only of course no AI. I was nervous. Su

Not at all free as in free speech. It is entirely captured by motivated gangs of collaborators that make the unwary who read it stupider. Try to make reasonable changes and these people collaborate to outvote you.

So many unanswered questions. Why would Israel move sensitive data into Amazon and Google servers off this was a concern? How would this scheme protect Israel's data or help them at all? Why would these very wealthy companies agree to

It's strange how people are missing that the Chief of Police broke the law, and bringing up irrelevance like how Boise is nice or he deserves vacations (!?).

Seems implausible that the entire taxonomic family of Homidae would be exposed to neurotoxic levels of lead because of cave water. I'm not convinced. Something is off, here.

I don't know why you would swap in your own interpretation over the article's. Credit merchants in the US charge a lot per transaction. Many businesses find that is not worth it to allow credit payment for low-cost items (like don

Good luck with this project. Sincere respect. However, seeing the ad, I immediately closed the site, never to return. I'm a bit baffled about what interest this would hold for the HN audience. Does it solve unusual technical challenges

You restate that disruptive innovation happens when gains are large enough to overcome inertia, and that smaller conceptual shifts aren't worth pursuing. Your premise is pragmatic: if it mattered, the market would already have adopted
