Behavioral interviews seem like the new way to reject candidates based on "culture" without saying that though, because saying a candidate was rejected due to "culture incompatibility" can be taken as a bias or discrimination.

I interviewed at Netflix. The market is tough right now and they pay really well. I really wanted to pass.

I did great on their tech rounds. Their "culture round" is notoriously hard, people throw out advice like "read the culture memo". I did. Now I have no idea what I did "wrong" in the culture/behavioral interview with the first hiring manager, they passed, they gave me no feedback, but they still booked me for an interview with another team. I also failed with that hiring manager.

Is it because my "EQ" is bad?

Would using an iframe (with/without this lib) prevent the fetch issue or is that still a problem there?

Right?

As an Android dev I'm growing tiresome of this "Google doesn't restrict anything" argument.

The number of Android users that even know what f-droid is is less than 1%.

The Play Store is the only option.

Working from home has become a class marker.

Tech workers who work from home are seen as having more freedom and higher salaries than those that "have to be" in the office.

Additionally I'm watching a Netflix reality show "Married at First Sight" (kinda lame tbh) where often times this comes up as a matter of an individual being at a state of their career where they're more advanced: "I need someone who works from home because I do and I like to travel a lot", "It's important for me to be with someone who is in a place career wise where they can set their own schedule" or just "You work from home? Nice! Me too!"

Or it goes the other way: "You don't work remote? So you have to go in to the office?" with the undertone being one of disappointment, as if the person has less free agency and is in a worse place career wise than someone who doesn't have to go to the office.

I take 4.5mg cialis (tadalafil) every day.

I think a lot of people do. Viagra is slightly different of course.

Both "hims" and "blue chew" now offer a daily mint "multivitamin" of tadalafil.

This.

The advertisers care about getting bad press and having to do the rounds in the "news cycle".

By now everyone knows that advertisers don't choose which posts, tweets, images, etc. their ads are shown next to, but that still won't stop the CNNs of the world from writing a "<Brand> advertises next to Nazi content on <Platform>!" article.

I get what you're saying, but this is an HN thread. I see people from companies I use to work at post in these threads sometimes.

It's less a formal post and more like "Hey I'm on a team hiring, here's what the job entails, email me (or recruiter) if interested!"

Yes it might technically amount to a job posting, but being pedantic and making this forum a hellish place probably isn't a good idea :)

> His political leanings are clear. Of course, when asked about Xinjiang, his reply can hardly be used as a criterion for whether he has been brainwashed. If he publicly said this in China in the way that Westerners think he has been "brainwashed", he would have been arrested.

lol this is always one of my pet peeves with Western "journalists".

"Hey I've got this celebrity/author/whomever from China here, let me try to have a Barbara Walters moment and ask them a profound question about something-controversial-in-China that will get them or their family killed!"

I'm not sure what the solution is, but I'm convinced it's just journalists patting themselves on teh back.

They have to divest in 9 months, in other words, Biden is potentially kicking the decision to Trump, who is now against a TikTok ban.

Why such a long timeline? It leaves open the door for Trump getting into office and immediately rolling it back such that they don't have to.

Right? I wonder what this will offer?

Marginal improvement over GitHub CoPilot or Cursor?

Congress can do both.

I also disagree with EFF here.

Neat!

I'm curious, and maybe a bit cynical, but do you handle explicit things? Since kids could be one of the largest audiences, I'm just always interested in hearing about whether people prepare for users creating explicit content given there's a home/explore feed of games.

Do you know anything about the mobile roles?

They're React Native but all their locations are <European country, Remote>: "France, Remote; Spain, Remote; Germany, Remote"

I'm in San Francisco :)

Yup, there's also a lot scared of speaking out against Islam because to a lot of authorities it makes you an Islamophobe to point out that many Muslim migrants bring values completely anathema with the US, Britain, Canada, etc.

This happens with anything Vimium.

I usually just hit the "i" button to enter insert mode.

> If your place has neither then you’re a greater target.

On the other hand, if a place has visible cameras and ADT signs, do they have valuables worthy of protection and worth the risk?

This makes sense.

If they're paid higher than average, then how could a union fight to get them higher wages when they aren't doing it for the unionized competitors that have lower?

And also per another comment here, they require an unblemished driving record. So if the worst concern of unions came true, that they can make it hard to fire bad performers and require hiring "their guys", then drivers with blemished records can make it in and stick around. That means the good drivers currently employed may see their value drop comparatively and likewise their ability to demand better pay.

As it stands it seems like the current drivers then have the benefit of being considered best in industry and may prefer to gate-keep and not unionize as a result in order to protect themselves.

I wonder if other companies that want to fight unionization should do similar: hire top performers and pay them well :)

Yikes, very long indeed. Twice the run length of King of Kong haha. 4 hours?!

It's absolutely insane to me that this grown man has fought tooth and nail to protect his status as a high-scorer (or the overall best high score ever) for a video game from the 80s that nobody cares about.

The drama around it is the only interesting thing about it.

> Thanks Jeff for trying to build an anti-racist company even when it upset some of our investors.

Yikes.

I guess when the company has no profit or potential you have to try to build something else?

Same.

I'm surprised that the "alarm" is over the tourism and filming of it.

Not over us allowing people to self-destruct, which is what we do when we enable this behavior, which IS what we're doing right now. In San Francisco where I live we do this too. Plenty of "connected" charities making money and growing by serving the needs (addictions) of the drugged street population.

We need to be more alarmed at that, not at the exposing of it.

It's hard though - I've been an Android dev for 8 years but have always had an iPhone.

I've never considered switching to Android.

And despite the fact that I want a wide variety of options, I prefer MacBooks, I prefer many Apple services, including software.

I've mentioned in past posts that the terms "safety" when applied to the AI discussion are never quantified or qualified in any way.

It's more of a smear. If you're the one arguing from an AI safety standpoint, it means your opponent is not being safe and is dangerous.

You should be expected to articulate why your position is "safer" and how "safe" is defined.

In my opinion most AI safety arguments are about vaguely defined variables like speed: "it's going too fast" - to who? who defines what fast is? do you slow down 2x or 10x? do competitors and/or rival nations less concerned zip by and the end result is still the same?

There is some validity to the discussion if AI is being "racist" or "biased" (again however you define these) but again competitors and/or rival nations may be less concerned and the end result may still be the same.

If anything the "safest" option is to define what your concerns are, then race ahead to try to be the canonical solution or defined standard in order to set standards for the rest to follow or be bound by.

Counter-point: our borders should be protected

> The video spends about half its time on the phenomenon of restaurants that are all relabeled versions of the same core concept --- that's, like, annoying, like I would feel taken if I ordered from a "restaurant" and really it was just one of 7 interchangeable labels for the same place, but it's not materially damaging in any way.

There's a restaurant on Polk St that does this with Ubereats. I know their address based on seeing it a few times and have learned not to order from it.

Here's a list, I won't add links because they're too long, but you can find them all on Ubereats. This restaurant from the outside is "Fresco Pizza Shawarma", here's nine storefronts they have on Ubereats.

- Ma's Meatballs

- Big Daddy's Wings

- Chateau Shawarma

- Angry Chicken

- Uncle Sam's Pizza

- Polk St Pizza

- Wingman Co.

- Little Italy's Calzones

- Little Italy Pasta

They probably have more too this was just a quick search. It's spammy and I've learned to check the address of restaurants to see if they're a "ghost kitchen". I suspect a lot of "real" restaurants with just one authentic storefront get drowned out in the "ghost kitchen" spam.

I don't think food trucks can just park somewhere and serve/work there.

As weird as that may seem because why have a roving restaurant if it's required to be in one spot?

Nonetheless I think permits are required, the Senior Sisig truck always used to be next to the Equinox on Sansome St. Other food trucks only ever serve at the "Off the Grid" park.

Hopefully.

Honestly it sucks but when this happens with Google and others there's sometimes a person in the comments here: "Send me your info and I'll escalate this internally". Which also sucks, but the PR at least has some impact.

I think it's doubtful that this kind of PR impacts Apple as much.

pretty clever, it reminds me of the early days of the app store when apps would be taken down for copyright strikes but if you provided proof you'd be given "immunity" from further strikes taking down your app while Apple investigates

it became a strategy to copyright strike your own app, have proof ready so that no downtime was necessary, then you have the temporary immunity so that competitors couldn't submit a copyright strike, which costed them nothing to do and had no consequences if they were wrong about it

Okay but if the non-profit doesn't comply, again does that mean the person (who I guess I said was "invading") gets to start yelling and doesn't have to leave if asked to do so?

Let's assume everything the guy in the video (the self-anointed journalist) says is true and that OpenAI is required to "hand over" those forms to anyone who asks...

With that said it still doesn't mean that if don't do that that you get to shove your way in (or try to) and start yelling at people lol.

I'm sure the actual process is that if they are required to do so and do not then you a member of the public ("data journalist" or otherwise) can pursue legal action. The "I'm entering the property NOW!" thing is likely not codified into whatever law this guy is quoting. "If they don't turn it over you're allowed to invade the corporate HQ!" Doubtful.
