So what happened to the $1.2 million?

Imagine there was no Facebook. I suspect the events of the last few years would have gone the same. 4 years of Trump is what got Biden elected.. not facebook ads.

Is it not a Eisenhower To-Do list?

> The app currently uses local storage only

This means I can actually use it. My data stays with me? Nice!

Experience developing, maintaining, bug finding, solving problems, assisting team members

> good - my job is really easy

Longterm isn't this bad? For example, if you can do it with 5 years experience. At 15 years experience you'll likely be too expensive for companies to want to hire you. They'll just hire more junior people.

it's not every tv station in question it's about news stations covering the election. 'every public servant' is not in question.. it's about the current president of the USA

Cloud computing seems to be a winner take all scenario. For example, if you use AWS and need a message broker service then you'll use this. If you use Azure, you'll use their version. Development seems like just hooking up this components. I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Always nice to see unique things posted! I like the error page

That is a good point which is worth discussing. From an opposite point of view Czech Republic mandated masks early on which seemed to work. Now they are in a bad state which is being blamed on relaxing the restrictions they had in place.

Did you get a stand alone bidet installed in your house or is it something installed in your toilet?

What brand? I recently got a road bike but honestly don't love it. I think I would prefer a mountain bike.

The litter robot looks good but for 500 dollars I think I'll stick to manual scooping the litter

Making a Reddit-alternative right now - although nowhere near ready to share yet, unfortunately.

The post and it's content is exactly what I would expect to find here. From my experience reading HN, I think it is the best community of comments online. I am creating an online Reddit-style web app at the moment and I am going to borrow a lot of things I think HN does right.

How did you find the job and how did the interview go?

I'd agree with this. I have often sat with coworkers and we have accomplished a lot but all those times it is because we chose to.

Well they all have headquarters/offices in my city..

I really think that is the only way. My issue is that I want to make the most of my free time in order to help me in interviews. I think picking up Elixir/Phoenix wouldn't help me since there are less jobs and I would have to take focus away from a stack that I have a better chance of getting a job in.

I am interested in how you manage your work journal. Do you use a physical pen and paper or do you use a digital tool? Online or offline? Do you archive or throw away old notes or do you revisit them?

Info about your checklists could be handy too.

I think both our premises differ so much this conversation can't continue.

What about for Facebook, Amazon, Google? I've heard they ask whiteboarding questions

That is a good point and I am working remotely in my current job until next year at least. I think my time and effort is best put into trying to get a job in the tech stack I know at the moment rather than trying to switch.

I started to learn Elixir and Phoenix awhile ago. I liked it but stopped due to (i) there's no job opportunities near me for Elixir and I wanted to the learning/projects I do on my own to help me in interviews; and (ii) it's not a strongly typed language which I have come to learn is my favored type of language

Coinbase has offices around the world

Or not American..?

One part I could see being done differently is JavaScript. A better, purposefully designed language for the web could be very beneficial.

> as he actively tells people to directly go to non-https, that shouldn't be an issue for his audience

Actually it should be but they are uneducated.

> if you're so concerned you can mirror his content to a https site.

That is a poor attitude. In a scenario where that fixed things it would only fix them for one person.

What do you mean?

Does anyone else not use one? I get my news and reading content from HN, NYT, Google News, the national news service in my country and from Alexa which gives me news from CNN, Sky News and my national news service. I also check Twitter from time to time but I try not to see it's always negative.

BBC News is another source I browse to from time to time.
