He's primarily asking how FaceID is less secure - a point you bought up multiple times in your original post and provided no reasoning for.

Who's hating on speculators?

So is this the standard for posting opinions now?

It's obvious that OP (morgante) is posting as conjecture rather than canon.

> I'm pretty sure that currencies have a value in a deeper sense then just "What people pay for it".

You should share your ideas.

Financial engineering - NYC.

I think the OP is specifically asking freelancers because 100k as a salary is not exactly rare, it's what I've paid some of my juniors.

100k+ as a freelancer is significantly more rare - requiring either very steady work, a niche skill-set, or great marketing skills.

They would only try to lift heavier than their competition, so there's an artificial limit on how heavy one would go.

But the real crux of the situation is this: For a given individual, on every possible lift and every possible weight, it is always safer to use anabolic steroids than not.

PEDs can also greatly improve the safety profile of a sport. For example, anabolic steroids increase strength and improve recovery, which significantly lowers the risk of missing an olympic lift such as the clean and jerk and possibly injuring oneself. Anabolic steroids can also increase bone density, which lowers the risk of general injury across all sports.

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks, bud!

A bit of an overreaction don't you think? Especially after the OP explained that he is using docker for educational purposes and even included instructions for pure python. Seems unnecessary to continue ragging on him.

No need to be rude, man. I just wanted to call attention to your post because you clearly have had some truly unique life experiences and undoubtedly have important things to say. Perhaps a memoir somewhere down the line?

Somebody get the New York Times on the line - this guy knows a bunch of poor white dudes in West Virginia.

If I received this email, I would be confused more than anything else.

Candidates turn down interviews all the time. You don't have to justify anything to the company - all this looks like is an attempt to justify something to yourself. Also seems like the email was hastily written given all the spelling/grammar mistakes.

Caffeine increases excretion of calcium and magnesium [1]. This is why some caffeine pills are pressed with ~75mg calcium.

Muscle tremors could be a sign of magnesium and/or calcium deficiency, so it's likely that you were losing too many minerals and not making up for it in your diet.

Or, depending on the person, much much worse.

Right. So regardless of his qualifications, you would have objected to his suggestion. So why ask at all?

And what would you say if the author comes back and replies "Yes, I am an MD."

"Oh, okay. Sorry."

?

> Are you a qualified medical doctor?

You don't need an MD to know that stimulants increase focus.

> "That's too complicated"

> "I don't want to bore you with the details".

Response: "Try me."

Dig for the details and if the candidate can't provide them, then either someone else did the work, they used a library and don't actually understand it, or they made it up altogether. This is assuming, of course, that they did the work relatively recently (<5 years).

If they deflect by mentioning either IP agreements or NDA's, then remain on topic but discuss something else under the same umbrella. For example, if the candidate deflects a question concerning k-means clustering, then ask about k-nearest-neighbors. If they continue to deflect, that's a red flag.

I'm a pessimist when it comes to hiring, but there are a lot of imposters claiming undue credit in this industry.

I recommend finding the best bullshitter at your company and having that person interview the candidates with you. A good bullshitter can always spot another bullshitter.

You framed the problem as a moral one. dguido framed it as an economic one.

You responded to his rebuttal with "I know how these things work, don't you know who I am?" reiterate position without adding any further points or addressing the opposing party's points

How is that not an appeal to authority?

I don't know who you are (and maybe that's why I'm the only one calling you out). If you are as influential in this space as you appear to be, it's important to take the initiative to present strong arguments rather than rely on your name.

Sorry to hear about the insomnia - I'm in the same boat. Hope it gets better.

Enlighten me.

A student? You'd get laughed out the door.

Experienced dev? Someone pay the man.

Sorry, we've all gotta pay our dues.

Logicians on HN: Is there a special name for Appeal to Authority when applied to oneself?

> while I have met a few people in the field who are more than happy to sell a bug to literally anyone with cash, the vast majority of people (even the ones whom I have sometimes called "mercenaries" for being willing to "switch sides"), have a pretty serious distaste for the idea of selling a bug to the highest bidder.

How many people would openly admit to being willing to sell bugs to the highest bidder? I certainly wouldn't.

If anything, selling on the black market guarantees that you get what you think is a fair deal. You demo, you reach an agreement, you get your money (or bitcoins or whatever), and you move on. When disclosing a bug to a company, you have no idea how much payout you're going to get, if any.

Kudos for the clarification. Your argument makes a lot more sense given the context of your experience.

While I see your point, the job pool for a remote candidate, realistically, is the couple dozen jobs a month that they find on HN/Linkedin/StackOverflow Jobs/etc. Also, the on-site candidate pool, realistically, is a subset of the remote candidate pool* (edited). I don't know anyone who wouldn't prefer to work from home (or wherever).

Every remote job I've ever posted has received 300-500 applications. For the same role on-site (NYC), I've had to turn to recruiters.

> That said I do not believe remote positions are intrinsically more competitive than the modal onsite position sought by a typical HN reader.

Actually, how is this even a possible point to argue? The pool of candidates for an on-site job is limited to the population of that city + applicants willing to relocate. The pool of candidates for a remote job is literally everyone in the entire world.

This is equivalent to looking for the exit when the ceiling has already collapsed.

You're taking way too much.

>>"According to our research, the physiological dose of melatonin of about 0.3 milligrams restores sleep in adults over the age of 50," said Wurtman, lead investigator in the study. "The adults who would normally wake up during the second and third thirds of the night were able to sleep through the night with the 0.3 milligram dosage." The researchers also discovered that the typical health food store dosage of melatonin, which is about three milligrams (or 10 times the dosage in the study), is less effective in treating insomnia. [1]

Personally, I take about .1 mg every night sublingually.

You speak as though there's an enormous gulf in producing social value between working at Facebook and working at Renaissance.

Speaking as a physicist who left the field, the vast majority of research physicists are not going to make a significant impact on advancing human knowledge. They're all too busy teaching bored undergrads, competing for underfunded grants, and politicking to get their name onto more papers.

I'd rather do math and make lots of money. Wouldn't you?
