Yeah same. Even when I went through stretches of boring videos, hitting an interesting one felt like winning at slots. Had to uninstall it.

That’s the default feed because it’s basically lowest common denominator stuff. Once you watch, like, follow a couple of creators it changes drastically. My FYP went from 80% boobs and ass to 5% in a couple of sessions.

Lambda’s ISAs are not incentive aligned for most students. Let’s say the income threshold is 50k. They are not incentive aligned for students who make between 0-50k. Lambda gets no money. They’re extremely unaligned for students making a li

Yeah the market is super fragmented but enormous. Even huge players like Tableau have a small slice of the market. It's really wild-west feeling and no one is confident they know what they're doing when it comes to implementation&

It's very strange. There must be some vision to create a unified BI + Data Science platform but it's very pie-in-the-sky feeling to me.

We (the West) just vaporized half of Russia's GDP. This seems like small beans.

These kinds of systems are trivial to shoplift from, so I would guess they're going to be limited to higher income areas.

It's the highest signal question to ask in reference checks as well. It gives the reference an out to be honest and not feel like they're being disloyal. It's a very direct question that is hard to fudge without lying. "

This seems like a silly move on the agency's part. Like... calling out your client in public. Cool, great way to get repeat business. Coinbase is trying to squeeze as much marketing from the Superbowl ad as they can. The tweet thread b

As someone who has spent a lot of time on both sides of this, I think this is a great outcome, personally. The most annoying part of ad-tech for me, as a user, was the fact that I was running all sorts of random javascript, any bit of which

That sounds awesome. I would really love to use something like that. If you ever open source it I might be able to contribute

I haven't seen the architect title in the normal ladder in a very long time. Usually it's reserved for specific key contributors like co-founders or key players that need to be retained above all else

Feels like a tipping point of sorts. Nothing about this channel is “problematic” in any mainstream consensus. Spotify might be the landing place of choice for the time being.

Things I’ve seen work Join a company that’s clearly on route to IPO but 2+ years out. (Stripe 2 years ago, AirBnB 4 years ago, Snowflake 1-2 years ago.) Work at or start a pre series A company that gets acquired by a FANMG. Typically, they

This meme needs to stop. It is pure legitimacy-washing and I can’t believe the HN crowd falls for it. It’s like Exxon donating a pittance to an environmental protection fund and calling it even. I wish we would stop giving them credit for “

I don’t get why people buy into this narrative. 5-10% of the content the BF organization puts out is respectable. Ok, it’s still 90% trash. The markets are treating it as such.

This meme needs to die. BF doesn’t get to respectability-wash their garbage by hiring some former NYT employees.

There are better signals you could get of job success but they require a greater up front investment; I’ve had a good track record with a slightly lower bar on the technical screen and a 30 day probationary period. Some friends of mine user

Chinese Gao Kao tests are similarly much harder than American tests; but at the end of the day I don’t think absolute difficulty matters too much as it’s a comparative test. As long as there is differentiation it does it’s job. If the test

But it is a use case, along with gambling via crypto day trading. You may not like it morally and may wish for crypto to be legally banned as a result, but casinos are real and extortion is real.

This is transparently a response to all of the negative publicity they’ve received. Understandable. When students google for Lambda School the SEO returns all the recent bad news items. It might work.

no one in the chess community seriously believes Anna cheated. there's been plenty of analysis e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2JedouTRZo

Anna Rudolph didn't cheat. Her opponent was angry at losing to a girl and made wild accusations. Also it wasn't close to "recent". A better example is Rausis from a couple of years ago — https://www.theguardia
