How does detecting the emails were fake address the DMCA claim on his YouTube channel? It’s my understanding that YouTube won’t intervene in DMCA claims even if the claims were false.

By my estimation, about 45% of the article is about DHH's revenue which is irrelevant to the discussion about Matt's behavior. Links on HN about Matt and WordPress keep getting downranked, and that'll continue to happen as long as Matt is not interested in seriously discussing it.

Not that my opinion matters, but my preference would be that Matt stops with the pithy comments like "this is a respectful debate" or "I'll try to do better" and is instead just honest that he doesn't care what others think.

They said if I only care about money I’m not a good fit for their culture

Is this meant to convince you to take the offer, or is this just to vent off some steam before closing your file?

I was trying to mirror my Android smartphone to my Samsung TV to show a webpage to someone. This feature is called "Smart View" in the TV's menu, but I didn't know how to connect, so I searched that name in the Google Play store. There are dozens of results, only one of them is the official app that has any chance of working. There are two apps[1][2] that actually appear to be the same app just with slightly different names presumably so they appear twice in the search results. One app[3] has some very suspicious ratings and I can't help but notice that the publisher's name is "SmartThings.net" which appears to add more credibility until you see the domain has nothing to do with the app. I understand it can be hard for Google to vet these apps but some of these failures (like verifying you actually own the domain you are pretending to be affiliated with) seem like they could be automated.

I noticed this last year when I applied for a software engineering job. For that position, the process is:

    - Initial screening (done)
    - Personal essay (this stage)
    - Standardized aptitude and personality tests
    - Meet and greet with an engineer
    - General interview(s)
    - Recruitment screen
    - Technical assessment
    - Role-specific interview(s)
    - Hiring manager interview
    - Senior leadership interview

Not only this but on Glassdoor I found dozens of people saying that they ghost you before the hiring manager interview so you could spend tens of hours interviewing and never speak to anyone on the team.

I had never thought people might blame Dr. K for his death until I read the article. The man attempted suicide in the past before ever talking to Dr. K, his friends and family said he was constantly at risk of going through with it again despite going to multiple therapists, and after speaking with Dr. K he said the conversation was helpful to him. Blaming Dr. K for one conversation with him half a year before he was finally successful with the suicide feels to me like blaming a doctor for being unable to save someone with a chronic condition after seeing them once in the ER.
