No, play this date-picker mini-game right now, or YOU SHALL NOT PASS
asdf21··on The gene drive dilemma: we can alter entire species, but should we?
M.A.D. had resulted in the most peaceful time in history by far
asdf21··on Ask HN: Joining Big Tech in One’s 40s
What are the interview questions aligned towards? More soft skills, or are there still a bunch of algo questions, etc?
asdf21··on America's Biggest Milk Producers Are Going Bankrupt
100% this. All that being said, it's also the market working as it should in a way... poorly (in this case, borderline sociopathically) managed companies going out of business.

As someone else said, the unwinding of large consolidated food companies is largely a good thing.

asdf21··on America's Biggest Milk Producers Are Going Bankrupt
Humans still exist and live on after bankruptcy.. companies are dissolved.

>Take the employer out of the equation once they're no longer relevant.

Not exactly, if the company is willing to go so far as bankruptcy / reincorporation... how will any previous contracts with whatever insurance company last through that?

asdf21··on America's Biggest Milk Producers Are Going Bankrupt
Why should they care? I'm not sure anyone has made a case as far as exactly what should be regulated here.

Should businesses not be allowed to take on too much debt?

asdf21··on Products I Wish Existed
Idk, I wanted to try path and never even got the chance because it never launched as far as I know (for the web at least?)
asdf21··on Top Paying Tech Companies by SWE Level
What about a MBA? I was on the business side before learning to code..
asdf21··on Ask HN: I've been slacking off at Google for 6 years. How can I stop this?
You don't have a boss who wants you to do x y or z?
asdf21··on I Was Google’s Head of International Relations
I find it hilarious that they were trying to virtue signal about inclusivity with their diversity trainings, but instead they resulted in a bunch of racist behavior and actual minorities being extremely offended, even years later.
asdf21··on I Was Google’s Head of International Relations
I mean, the article author is openly partnered and in a same-sex marriage... I'd assume members of the policy group he leads know he's gay.
asdf21··on Doing a database join with CSV files
Full join is missing the Id on 456 and the Key on 999..
asdf21··on A Decade of Urban Transformation, Seen from Above
I'm one of those people.. and I hate it in the city. But I like making six figures and that's not currently possible where I'm from originally.

>mental health issues related to loneliness

Citation? It's a fact that urban living is associated with higher levels of mental illness, not just conjecture.

asdf21··on A Decade of Urban Transformation, Seen from Above
I'd advocate for the opposite... I think everyone should own an acre or two, planted with as many trees as possible to stave off climate change.

There are many more mental health issues in densely populated areas, much less biodiversity, more pollution, etc.

>Alternatively, sufficient numbers of people stop having children altogether,

We tried that, it was called billed as a "aging population crisis" and used as justification to import millions of people from other failed countries into the US.

Also the theme song to Weeds
asdf21··on Show HN: One Page Calendar 2020
First, you create the universe.

Then you build a new year of the calendar.

asdf21··on Show HN: One Page Calendar 2020
It looks like it's currently manual, considering the double date on the 18th
asdf21··on Fake “like” factories – how we reverse engineered facebooks user IDs [video]
Sounds like privilege.

asdf21··on ProtonMail takes aim at Google with an encrypted calendar
Did anyone else notice ProtonMail being used in the movie "Knives Out" to send the ransom note? Cracked me up..
asdf21··on The University Is a Ticking Time Bomb
I feel like with the growing popularity of Online Courses these ratios will get even more skewed...

What happens when the majority of courses at a University are pre-recorded sessions from years ago, with only minor updates from year to year?

asdf21··on Fake “like” factories – how we reverse engineered facebooks user IDs [video]
I'd assume these fake likes improve the metrics of most managers... "look at the improved user activity since rollout of X feature!"

There's probably not much incentivation to investigate them too deeply.

asdf21··on Washington’s new anti-robocall law won’t stop the calls
Same thing just happened to me just this week, I wasn't checking voicemails because I get too many spam calls / spam messages and I almost got withdrawn from Graduate School because of it -- (I needed to verify a term break and since I never did, automatic withdraw initiated.)

Sorted it out, but barely. Very frustrating to have that sort of outcome from the root cause of phone spammers.

asdf21··on CCPA goes into effect January 1, but nobody’s sure how the new rules work
I was sure it was Certificate Authority.
asdf21··on Show HN: Kareer Day – Learn About Jobs by People Who've Done Them
That's a strange reaction, considering the KKK barely even exists anymore.
asdf21··on Multilingual People Have Healthier, More Engaged Brains? (2016)
I know French and English and several programming languages, and they do seem very similar to me.

>You can't describe a dream in Java.

Before you write any code, you first imagine how the application should work. So yes, a person can codify something from their imagination into Java.

asdf21··on Multilingual People Have Healthier, More Engaged Brains? (2016)
Am I really monolingual when I'm fluent in multiple programming languages and endless niche industry jargon?

Jokes aside, I'd assume the context switching would be psychologically rather similar.

asdf21··on Whatever happened to the Next Big Things?
Start a soylent competitor?
asdf21··on Whatever happened to the Next Big Things?
So what got invented in the last ten years that is going to be huge?

I'd go with Crispr.. and stem cell therapy.
