This is always, always the answer. It's not only the decent thing to do, it ensures you'll get an accurate representation of the quality of the prospective employee's work.

State-funded media has it's own problems but at least there's some accountability which is effectively nonexistent for large media companies. As long as the free market rewards sensationalism, there will be profit driven "journalism." Ultimately, the general populace needs to be educated on the veracity of news in the digital age; how to spot a misleading headline, and how to corroborate actual expository works.

It's just as misleading to string together dozens of "sources" in an article to prop up a narrative. It appears to me that the website you've linked is just playing on peoples paranoia, a la YouTube "news" channels. If the actual content has to chase the dramatic headline the entire time, you can be sure that it's a whole lot of BS.

News channels do not broadcast 24 hours of news. The majority of programming are personalities, opinions and "recaps." The actual news comes on in hour-long chunks once early in the morning, mid-day and at primetime.

In what world is an attempt to understand the actions of a governing body more disturbing than disappearing someone? The pondering of morality and underlying intentions are what fuel the entire "East vs West" debate.

Chalk it up to systemic casualties all you'd like, but let's not pretend as if that isn't reductive as well. Behind every system, there are decisions being made by human beings and it's not flippant to be cognizant of that.

It reminds me of what Apple does when it redefines a product category by "just" bringing together existing technology into a more convenient form factor and UX.

That's a wonderful observation. The form factor is as clever as it is logical. Stuff like this makes me really optimistic for the future of Raspberry Pi (and widespread computing!).

In terms of using deep fakes to impersonate political figures, I do think we'll ultimately be okay on that front. I can see the entertainment industry being flipped on it's head and fabricated conspiracy theories hitting a fever pitch but with initiatives like CAI* cropping up, my hope is that there will be a digital wax seal of sorts to make sure what you're seeing is what the author intended.

People have had the opportunity to impersonate anyone they'd like over the radio for over 100 years and yet, here we still stand.

Apologies for the 2 day late reply, I forget to check my comments on HN far too often.

The issue isn't when a restaurant drags their feet with an order, it's when they don't know the order even exists until the courier shows up. So not only do you have to play a game of telephone with your delivery driver placing your order, but that order is only paid for & made once that driver get there.

None of this is clear from the apps I've used. There's no indication whether you're ordering from a restaurant that has a backend receiving orders in realtime or if it's a "place and pay" order. Customers will reasonably think the restaurant is to blame, when it could've very well been the fault of the driver.

I'm not so sure that it's the cringe that is the problem. I think it's the notion that these social media platforms are acting as a lens for how a lot of people see the world.

Kinda like the editor(s), who are doing the job of an editor.

It certainly feels like fraud if that so-called supplier never agreed to be a vendor in the first place. If the line to check out at the grocery store was 2 hours long, you wouldn't blame the company who packaged the tempeh. If a mobile food order takes 2 hours because it requires someone to act as a proxy for the customer, then the blame should fall on the middleman service.

Personally I prefer the idea of a zero-frills Excel, but this makes sense as MS needs an answer to Airtable and it's ilk.

This is the crux of the issue, especially when these services are happy to pass the buck when the delivery falls short and blame the restaurant.

FWIW, Postmates has been doing these "Place & Pay" orders since ~2012. A courier for Postmates was more akin to someone taking orders from an app like Favor/TaskRabbit than a purpose-built restaurant delivery service.

Pretty bold statement coming from someone with a post history as dubious as yours. There's actually some healthy skepticism in this thread and rational conjecture, which I assume you won't be taking part in.

Looks like this could give Apple a bit of a head start with fleshing out some of their AR app offerings out in the real world. I imagine these will translate quite nicely into rOS / StarBoard, which gives Apple a slew of apps to use on day one.

At scale, I imagine you can subsidize the price by offering cheaper milk alternatives (non dairies), along with other fresh beverages.

I don't really know where to start here, so I'll just say that you're probably looking a little too much into how it is "propagandized in Hollywood serials."

Human trafficking is illegal regardless of age. That’s why people would or should care. No one is talking about firing assistants besides you.

Only if it picks up an FM signal

I wasn’t kidding, it’s truly full of 13 year olds. There are certainly grown adults, but I don’t think people don’t realize how many kids use 4chan. Back when I was a teenager, I thought I was cool as fuck for knowing about 4chan and all my e-friends were just as deluded and 14 as I was.

His developer chops were why he was making such bank at 18 years old. Still though, his salary is probably the most interesting takeaway from all of this (that, or the whole listing your height & weight thing).

Is there a species as universally loathed as the mosquito?

That's implying that those same people are being supplanted, and are therefor "losing" because of that. The issue, as I see it, is that society should already have a place for all young adults.

Not for me.

I think you're putting too much weight behind the like button here. It will be replaced by something else or stripped down to a version without any identifying properties, which I see as a win-win.

I just think coming at it from the angle that article did (re: the article title) is framing things the wrong way. The census report they used is more in line with what I think we're both saying here:

Bitkom, a German trade federation for online businesses criticised the ruling, saying it would heap costly bureaucracy on firms without enhancing consumer protection.

Swap "costly" for "mildly inconvenient" and then I could almost see where they're coming from but I think they're missing the forest for the trees here. Let the "like button" die, rulings like this take the wind out from beneath it and eventually it's a metric you'll never be burdened with.

As I understand it, resumes were more like a personal trading card with things like your hobbies and clubs you belonged to. As time went on it, it shed a lot of the details that wouldn't be of interest to employers. So maybe height & weight stuck around in a more standardized resume.
