Haitischmockon Ask HN: Why can’t I block all incoming calls that aren’t in my contact list?

Haitischmockon Helsinki to Begin Anonymous Recruiting

Even if you get hired, you still have to show up for work and can be fired later due to the same bias.

Haitischmockon Helsinki to Begin Anonymous Recruiting

People are going to fake a lot more degrees and other qualifications.

When they come in for an in-person interview racial/gender/age/whatever bias is still going to be there.

Only way to prevent this would be to forbid in-person interviews before hiring/signing a conract, but then companies would presumably simply stop hiring from applications, because the qualifications are unreliable and they can't get a character impression of the applicant.

Hiring by reference from existing employees would become the norm (maybe it already is).

Haitischmockon Show HN: Cross-platform desktop applications with PyQT

Would it be possible to resolve Electron's performance issues by "precompiling"/prerendering the HTML and CSS (+ maybe scripts) ? As long as the app UI stays the same, it should be cached in an optimized form. (sorry if that already exists in Electron)
