Seems like a pretty standard interview panel to me - if you want the job do it, otherwise don't?

I think the comparison is unfair to cigarettes, which at least provide some fleeting pleasure and look cool while you're smoking them.

Platforms based on automated curation thriving while platforms based on manual curation wither. If Facebook gave people the opportunity to turn off the algorithmic feed, and they took it... they'd just spend all their time on TikTok i

I mean 6% of GDP is a lot, obviously, but it's also just as obviously a cost that can be paid. The important questions are: - Is it more expensive than simply reducing emissions? - Is it easier (politically or economically) to deploy?

You can say that explicit curation and intention is the way things "should be" as much as you like, but all the evidence suggests that most people strongly prefer automated curation.

For most queries, on most sites, searching sitename + query in google will give you better results than using the site's native search. Nobody is going to waste their time learning what the exceptions are.

In general, leaking a company's secrets is going to be a civil matter, and to the extent that it's a criminal case a prosecutor would be very unlikely to press charges if the company isn't asking them to. On the other hand l

Yup. Ironically they're bringing back mag safe at the same time as moving to processors that might make the battery life dream real.

I can only speculate, but my guess is they reasoned that all-day battery life would make MagSafe obsolete.

The example given in the article seems very off-base: the author is vaguely planning to purchase some type of planner, and he gets an ad for a specific planner from a specific retailer. There has to be a pretty tiny chance that he would ha

How do you send money via ACH? I've never figured out a way to do it. Unless you're talking about the common "link an account" functionality where you do trial deposits, etc...

There's no way to do peer to peer direct bank transfers in the US. Also, in the US, credit card providers accept all liability for fraud, as a consumer there's no way you will ever lose money to credit card fraud.

How is a branch nicer than a subdirectory? Off the top of my head, it seems like backporting bugfixes might be easier using a branch (if you're lucky, you can just cherrypick the commit and it will work) - any other reasons?

The building was gutted a couple years ago and is still under construction

by s17n 5y ago
Pretty sure it has nothing to do with any of that stuff - this is just a building with a very large footprint that was vacant, pretty much a unique opportunity in Manhattan.

Shitty jobs will have to get better, probably. This may mean that areas of the economy that depended on cheap mistreated labor shrink (eg the price of berries will go up), but that would be a good thing, morally.

Get a referral. Employees at a big co have no downside if they refer you and they get a bonus if you're hired so if you can find any connection between you and an employee, no matter how tenuous, they'll probably say "sure w

Firefox was/is trying to be a top browser in global market share. The "core userbase" is irrelevant to this mission. You wouldn't really even talk about Chrome's "core userbase" because they aren't

Ok, but a ton of people (like me) don't give a shit about privacy. What's the advantage for us? (I think there are huge advantages, like ownership, but just saying "if you don't care about privacy you are wrong" is

Actually, its closer to 40% of republicans are women, and dropping. The anti-abortion stance of the party is probably one reason for this decline.

If you're worried that Emacs is what's holding Lisp back, the answer is definitely to build first class VSCode support, not to try to make a new modern Lisp environment.

This isn't an investigation or analysis of what is wrong with SF government, or even a substantive argument that anything is wrong. Instead it's just a very familiar list of complaints. The fact that it quotes someone who moved

Right now most of my messaging is on SMS/MMS, so if RCS makes it less terrible, that would be exciting. Obviously if you have to check to see if somebody is on it that's a nonstarter but I assume it'll fall back to SMS/
