Interesting article, but I hypothesize about the origins differently. Why do men have external penises? Part of the external physicality and "emphasis" in our anatomy is as a mutual pleasure seeking signal. The idea of erogenous z

Let’s say you have some interesting challenges in a new space in deep learning and you like to hire people who can ramp up and learn the area relatively quickly. Or let’s say you have a massive set of services you need to integrate with to

So cool you've automated this. I keep a collection of internal links ("web log"). And I review them every month or so. Information is meant to be sifted imho. Also reminds me of Last Chance Kitchen.

Just wanted to say, from the outside, John Krafcik seemed to me like a strong leader. I used to live in Mountain View and at one point I saw a few Waymo vans (this was 3-4 years ago when they were more active) speeding on El Camino (just ba

Part of what made the iPhone take off is that it was good UX and everyone uses their phone every day multiple times a day. For VR to succeed at that level it needs: better UX (Quest is close but needs to be 2x resolution and content richnes

I just don’t get why comments like this are downvoted. But I do suspect this makes Hacker News what it is. Good at surfacing a certain x to y percentile of a certain way of looking at things. It’s not a place to brainstorm or be open minded

I never met Tony but I saw him speak at an event in 2009 (Startup School 2009) in Berkeley. I just remember before his presentation he had TechCrunch up on his laptop and one could tell he didn’t have the pretense of any other speaker (and

Yeah totally. The best talk I ever heard related to YC was from Adam d’Angelo at a startup school (#2?) - where he spent most of his time quietly just saying to people: use your connections. And for 5% of the audience I’m sure it went in on

I think you can either: * make predictions with a range * or make predictions with a certainty coefficient (p value, etc.) Predicting a single value without either is not a truly quantified "prediction." It's weird n

I was talking to my wife about this. And actually read her what I'd written (a Hacker News first for me). And she helped me see that I come off as sort of a woman-CEO-bashing programmer dude. And yeah, I don't think any of us want

Cool yeah. Makes sense. I mean the good news is it seems like management has gotten better across the board (nobody talked about empathy even ten years ago). So that’s good. Someone in our company slack posted this re: Katzenberg too: http

Yeah, I think this is a more concise version of the point I was trying to make. And that perhaps "performance reviews" should be one of a couple of signals as feedback to the hiring process. There's just so many variables in

I think it's complicated by the fact that the better the company, they better they are at mentoring even "bad" hires. I.e., performance review isn't normalized across all companies. Google might think their hiring proces

I don't think this is satire. It just delights in being realistic. This is how FAANG (and Stripe) interviews work. You play the game to get paid (and contribute to the company). Some people might disagree with the IQ comments (but form
