New top story on Hacker News: Real Interview Recordings to Help Job Seekers

Real Interview Recordings to Help Job Seekers
8 by oshinubijoshua | 5 comments on Hacker News.
I'm exploring an idea for a platform that will allow job interviewees (esp. techies) to share their interview recordings to help others prepare for similar interviews. I believe this will be extremely valuable for job seekers who are looking to improve their interview skills and gain insights into what employers are really looking for. However, I'm aware that privacy and anonymity is a big concern and I want to make sure that interviewees feel safe and comfortable sharing their recordings. So, I've put a lot of thought into how we can ensure anonymity while still providing valuable insights to job seekers. Here's what I'm thinking so far: - All videos will be completely anonymized before being shared on the platform. This includes blurring out faces, changing voices (if requested), and removing any identifying information such as company names and any personal info. - All videos will be thoroughly reviewed before being published to ensure that they meet strict standards for anonymity and content. As a means to reward them, interviewees can also choose to receive compensation for their video through a system similar to Buy Me A Coffee where viewers tip them if they found it helpful. I would really appreciate any feedback on this. Do you think this would be valuable for job seekers? And do you have any concerns or suggestions? Let me know what y'all think!

New top story on Hacker News: Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery

Tell HN: I think I found Toyota's battery 173 by scythe | 29 comments on Hacker News. Recently there was a thread about a "breakthrough" in battery technology at Toyota. https://ift.tt/nUtv4yY Toyota has been putting out PR puff pieces about their "solid-state" (solid-electrolyte) batteries for years, but this story was unique in that it had a quote from Keiji Kaita, who holds some high-level role at Toyota. Anyway, I didn't think much of it, because there was no paper referenced in the Guardian article, which seemed to be the original source. But while reading about something else, I came across the paper "A near dimensionally invariable high-capacity positive electrode material", published in Nature Materials last December: https://ift.tt/24ZXPy5 This paper, reporting a cathode that has very little (much less than normal) change in size or shape when charged and discharged, claims reversible storage with a solid electrolyte. It stands to reaso...

New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Neucards – Privacy based digital contact card

Show HN: Neucards – Privacy based digital contact card 7 by bdominy | 1 comments on Hacker News. Neucards is an end-to-end encrypted contact information sharing and updating iOS app that protects your identity while letting you keep in touch with people. I started working on neucards as a side project more than ten years ago, and I decided three years ago to go full-time and try to build a community around it. There are two major problems that neucards addresses. First, most people end up with contact lists that are hopelessly out of date. Over time, people move, change jobs, or add social profiles and unless they tell you, chances are you could lose touch. Second, your contact information ends up in the wrong hands. There has been a huge increase in robocalls, unsolicited emails, data breaches, and online scams that is driven by accessing a person's contact info. Even worse, with AI now being able to imitate a person's voice or other mannerisms, knowledge about the connecti...
