The Signal — 2026-06-29 breakpoint #6
Time for a quick signal check. Hacker News reports that HackerRank open-sourced its applicant tracking system. One user ran their resume through it and got scores of 90, then 74, then 88. The system seems uncertain. Maybe the resume is just that inconsistent. Next, the US Supreme Court ruled that geofence warrants require constitutional protections. Translation: the police can't just draw a circle on a map and demand Google hand over everyone inside. A rare win for privacy. And finally, Rocket Lab is acquiring Iridium. Yes, the satellite phone company. The deal creates a fully integrated space communications company. Because apparently, owning the sky isn't enough anymore.
