Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but actually it historically has been a problem. In the US it became regulated for TV in 2010 with the CALM Act, and this is just a modernizatio…

I’ve noticed that a lot of bootcamp grads are, in fact, legitimately hired by their bootcamps - just not to write code. They are often brought on term by term as TAs until they fin…

Yep, surveying the landscape now! Lens is incredible and I know particularly for shopping them, Facebook and Amazon are working on merchandise recognition. Honestly that’s part of …

It’s early days, but I’m looking into more precise and domain specific object recognition in photos. Apple or Google will generally tell me if a photo contains a chair; I would lik…

The headline struck me as unusually crass for HN even before I saw the parent comment. I was a bit surprised it wasn’t rewritten. So, I guess I’m a second person. Maybe it’s genera…

Actually credentialism could make sense in this case. Let someone study all of the Leetcode once, on their own terms, and use the same results for every company for the next 5-10 y…

They do their best to prevent it, but a lot of students don’t even apply because they or their parents think they can’t afford it. Access to education about financial aid itself is…

On another part of his homepage it says he went to MIT around the same time he did YC. As someone who interviewed for YC myself while attending MIT, I am not even going to pretend …

I’ll grant that when I read the article, I missed the part where he admitted to intentionally ignoring the invite. If they tossed him for what they considered a values mismatch, th…

I’ve also seen organizations realize in that situation that they can change or automate things as to reduce the consequences of the exceptions, or to make rules simpler to follow, …

I started reading this article excited that Recurse had gone online and, after following RC and Hackruiter for almost a decade, I might now be able to do it. I ended it in a simila…

That actually crosses the line from “unethical” into “unlawful collusion”. If you’re talking about a Valley company, they all got hit for this some time ago: https://www.google.com…

A number of the systemic issues with contract to hire have already been raised, but here’s another: taking a C2H job can immediately render you ineligible for unemployment, as you …

Guessing someone flagged the parent comment thinking there was a racial connotation, so vouching it back from the dead. https://treasury.gov.au/review/black-economy-taskforce/

There's a caveat there; Google is very incentivized to keep around any service on which it can display those ads! Gmail isn't going away any time soon in large part for that reason…

If you're working at a software company in the US, the odds are good you make enough that you're not living near any significant crime unless by choice (for instance, for "city lif…

I showed up very late to an Apple keynote about 10 years back, and was grabbed while walking in by some staffer to sit in a third row seat. I had no affiliation with Apple; I assum…
