Re:Poll: Have you disabled LinkedIn notifications?
on Wednesday February 03, 2021 @02:27PM (#26017991)
Notifications should be opt in, so I usually disable them immediately.
Linkedin is especially bad with spam and the "do you know this guy?" If I knew him and wanted to add him, I would have already.
Re:Ask HN: What are the problems with online education?

The decline is from not being in person to experience and take part in normal social interactions. Group work, being patient, knowing when to speak, being on time, etc. Soft skills are arguably more important than anything else for an entry level position.

It's mostly problematic for children who don't realize the importance of education.
As someone who runs a team, the biggest problem is the lack of proper social skills. It gets worse every year.
Re:It’s time to accept that disinformation is a cyber security issue
on Monday December 28, 2020 @01:22AM (#25557183)
Ironic that a post about disinformation is full of it. It would benefit anyone to look up what a conspiracy is and how many things are technically conspiracies. It's basically a buzzword for anything you don't like that hasn't been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. News flash, anything that is nether proven nor unproven is debatable.
Re:Bill Gates's Foundation Is Leading a Green Counterrevolution in Africa

"The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation promised Africa a “Green Revolution” to fight hunger and poverty. It hasn't worked — but it has upped corporate agriculture’s profits."
It's almost like it was always about the profit. Strange

Re:Question about Firebase, auth and react
on Saturday October 31, 2020 @10:32PM (#24956811)
There are a million options for authentication already created and ready for use. Nearly every CMS has this ready for you on install. You could also go with active directory. You could also use the major ones that integrate with Google, fb, etc. Starting from scratch is fine but you'll have to use a ton of development time that could be better spent on your app.

Also, how do you pronounce it?

It is currently at 53% from 90k attempts. It is within the margin of error on a coin flip.
That means no, people cannot tell the difference. Maybe we aren't so different, despite the media's constant suggestion.

I do a lot of hiring in this field. I have zero interest in anyone who changes jobs regularly. This might sound mean, but I promise I mean it as sincerely as possible. Grow up, focus on your life, and stop worrying about the things you can't change. You got to where you are for a reason. People rely on you. The first thing you should do is work extra hours to make up for the slacking. You will feel good. You also need to take care of yourself. A proper diet and exercise is extremely important. After that, get a wholesome hobby you can pour yourself into. Master something.
Good luck. Honestly

What do you do? If you need money, a technical partner, and a strategic partner, what is your role? Maybe learn a skill and have a functional product before selling.
Ok. Ask for advice then down vote to remove points. Great.

on Wednesday October 21, 2020 @12:54PM (#24849660)
Is this a huge advertisement for the Rubik cube? It gives no real insight and offers no solutions. Comparing real problems with a toy is patronizing. 42 quintillion combinations might as well be zero compared to the nearly infinite possibilities of human interaction within a 24 hour period.
You can't just say "the solution is no one dies" and work backwards. You also can't say there is only one solution. The comparison is ridiculous.

This issue here is that the same scientists are giving contradictory reports. We need them to be adults and admit "We were wrong about x, the truth is actually y. Here is the proof.". As long as both versions exist without the redaction, both will be quoted forever.
