Best online resources to learn semiconductor industry
I want to learn about the semiconductor industry from an investor point of view. As a beginner is there any videos, books, blogs, etc. that would help me do so. I’m also interested in the history of the industry if you have any resources for that.

Ask HN: SaaS for Offline Courses
Hi, I'd like to understand if there is a need for high quality offline course management. Ie. administrator, coach, teacher, pastor would use the Saas to develop their in-person, offline, synchronous course. Complete with well formatted printouts etc.
Anyone see the same gap? Or is there a tool I haven't seen yet?
(you could 100% do this using word, excel and outlook) but I think a dedicated tool would help the person managing the course to follow the guide to getting done better.

Ask HN: Are there some bad actors in Who is hiring?
Candidates: HANG IN THERE. For those who are unemployed and have been for months, I suggest we create a separate post or move to a subreddit where we can do interviewing, resume and application reviews?
From my network of avid HN readers I get the sense that there are some bad actors in "Who is hiring". Candidates are desparate right now, there are some who are unemployed and have been for months, and some bad actors are taking advantange of and abusing their desperation.
Two companies that have been prolific on "Ask HN: Who is hiring?", posting every month for the last year have stood out where they are taking every candidate through the whole interview process as an exercise to train their current staff on interviewing with no actual intention of hiring candidates. Another company in particular are very thorough in their process requiring prerecorded video presentation of what the candidate has designed in the past, slides, two take homes and a "pair programming" exercise that's just a shared inbox - very minimal actual human interaction involved.
Has anyone had similar or shared experience like these?

Ask HN: Will you complete take home assignments if feedback wont be provided?
As a candidate, will you complete a take home assignment if the employer was known not to provide feedback as a policy?
If the employer had a policy that they would not provide feedback for their take home assignments, would you still complete the take home assignment?
Also, I'm wondering whether we could create a separate post or a subreddit where we can do reviews of take home assignment if the employer refused to do so? Would that be useful to any of you?
