hlbjhblbljib··on Web scraping is legal, US appeals court reaffirms
"On LinkedIn, our locked in members information is our sole competitive advantage, which is why we prohibit unauthorized scraping on our platform."
hlbjhblbljib··on Three areas where Google Search lags behind competitors: code, cooking, travel
And image search.
hlbjhblbljib··on Ask HN: Are blog comments a thing of the past?
I can absolutely confirm that as a thing, but I can't confirm my employment history.

> They have a lot more time and money to throw on solving the problem

No, they get others to do it

hlbjhblbljib··on Tell HN: HN is not the first result for “Hacker News” on DuckDuckGo
Looks like a good ranking of results to me.
hlbjhblbljib··on A visual proof that neural nets can compute any function
They can with the right activation function. I'm thinking inverse log.
hlbjhblbljib··on Russia halts deliveries of rocket engines to the U.S.
This conflict would have been simpler if the EU wasn't dependent on Russian Gas.
hlbjhblbljib··on Russia halts deliveries of rocket engines to the U.S.
You somehow blame the west for Putin? Other countries have managed.

India has better average wages than Russia.

hlbjhblbljib··on Designing a retro-game art style that evokes the aesthetic of the Game Boy Color
A strange hill to die on, but I'll fight for your right to die there.
hlbjhblbljib··on Big tech makes a big bet: Offices are still the future
You're right, that is a horrible thing to force employees to do. To manage their entire lives and where they lived for their employer. Glad we're seeing an end to this.
hlbjhblbljib··on Big tech makes a big bet: Offices are still the future
Yeah, I moved out of the city and have a 100% remote job now, and am enjoying the lower housing costs. If you didn't job search during the lockdowns, now is the time to do it.
hlbjhblbljib··on F-Droid: how it weakens Android's security model
> 3. Low target API level (SDK) for client & apps

Yeah well Google fucked up and removed a lot of important API stuff that supported tools.

So I'll continue to use termux from F-Droid. Otherwise I might as well not have a phone.

hlbjhblbljib··on F-Droid: how it weakens Android's security model
Doesn't google do exactly the same thing with the app store anyway?
hlbjhblbljib··on Filters to block and remove copycat-websites from DuckDuckGo, Google and other
> I had searched for pinterest and found nothing

So it's working as intended and blocking low effort spam sites

hlbjhblbljib··on Ask HN: Easiest way to build a CRUD app?
Except ruby is dead for literally anything else, so the moment you need it for anything else you're combining languages.
hlbjhblbljib··on Early ‘lab-grown’ Covid virus found in sample lends weight to Wuhan theory
and labs are incapable of combining naturally sourced mutations.
hlbjhblbljib··on The performative quality of computer-generated art
And this process repeats itself in the small. Even abstract paintings are made in stages, by artists stepping back, and seeing which areas they are happy with and which areas need more work.
hlbjhblbljib··on Interview questions to ask your interviewer
You can go full on Gilbert Gottfried at the friars club.
hlbjhblbljib··on Interview questions to ask your interviewer
Share the portal?

I suggest doing it anyway. I think I've learned more from failed interviews than I have from some jobs. Useful lessons anyway.

hlbjhblbljib··on Interview questions to ask your interviewer
I faced this off, said I wouldn't sign until after they'd done all their checks.

Then I got radio silence, could see all the checks passed on their end. Didn't end up signing, kept my current job.

Glad I refused. I don't want to work for any company that tries this bullshit.

hlbjhblbljib··on Interview questions to ask your interviewer
Some companies do things in stupid orders though. I recently got an offer that had a contract that said the whole deal was contingent on me passing vetting and reference checks. Inside the contract.

Like I was going to sign, give notice at my current job, and if they're not happy I simply don't have a job.

I nope'd out of that process. Their HR was a mess.

hlbjhblbljib··on Meta shares drop 20% on Q4 earnings miss, weak outlook
Meta? Never heard of them.
hlbjhblbljib··on Sony to buy video game maker Bungie in $3.6B deal
What is AB?
hlbjhblbljib··on The new hire who showed up is not the same person we interviewed
This why I've had to deal with very regressive HR on-boarding processes. I'm sick of companies treating new employees like their data doesn't matter and they can be required to sign up to any service no matter what the ToS is like.
hlbjhblbljib··on Google Drive flags file only containing “1” for copyright infringement
You do not have sufficient social credit to request a review, please become a better person and try again.
hlbjhblbljib··on American Airlines and The Points Guy are suing each other
I'm surprised more businesses don't ban all of Texas as customers to prevent any litigation happening there.
hlbjhblbljib··on You cannot play Diablo 2 resurrected after 30 days of being offline
Would be nice to only play good ones. If only you could predict the experience you'd have by the developer.
hlbjhblbljib··on China’s population is shrinking, fast
It's hard for new couples to form, when you cannot leave your apartment
hlbjhblbljib··on LatencyFleX: A new approach to game latency reduction
Human eyes can only see 30 fps, 15 per eye, so you only need two monitors with 15Hz each
hlbjhblbljib··on Danish intelligence chief held over suspected info leaks, local media report
> It’s long be standard practice for intelligence agencies in 5/9 Eyes to ask each other to spy on the others citizens when it would be illegal to do so themselves.

This goes against the actual agreements in place, where they have to treat the other citizens as their countries do.
