Hm in the corporate world, looking up people on LinkedIn is pretty par for the course. As a consultant with a large consulting firm, I meet with lots of different people. Since I have LinkedIn premium I can see who is looking at me. I’d say easily half the people I meet look me up before the meeting, and I do the same. It’s just curiosity and trying to get some background.

What would be weird is sending me a message through there before the meeting. If we are speaking using another channel (like work email accounts), stay on that channel. This is what has gone wrong in this case.

No worries with sending a connection request after our meeting “nice to meet you today and looking forward to collaborating, cheers”

As a side note it’s always funny when we are in the middle of a meeting and a notification pops up that they have looked at my profile. It’s like “hello... pay attention... I’m right here...”
While I agree that the sentence is not a garden path sentence, a garden path sentence doesn't need to have more than one reading. A garden path sentence is difficult to parse, but that doesn't mean it has more than one parsing available.
How is an attorney general or district attorney responsible for knowing about a covert program in one of the prisons?

It's not like they receive monthly reports about all the illegal programs that other departments are conducting.

If you're going to rake anyone over the coals for this, go after the Secretaries of California's Department of Correction and Rehabilitation. They were in charge of the department and accountability ends at the top.
So what does Jai do that is different?

For performance at least my focus is usually on eliminating information-lossy interfaces i.e. try to keep the hot loops where the compiler can see them
China emits half or less on a per-capita basis than Australia, if you just run the numbers from the headline. Add to this the fact that a whole lot of manufacturing has been outsourced from Australia and other advanced countries to China. This means that despite barely manufacturing the things they were manufacturing, say, 40 years ago, advanced economies have much higher per-capita carbon emissions than China.

The onus is clearly on Australia et. al. here.
You're going to have trouble "simply tapping" the TPM if it's implemented in the ME or the PSP.
What's the point of this? Are they taking pull requests?
Sorry but no. You can't say that. This "solution" might solve something that has been highlighted in the article, but who said it was a problem?

I'd rather have a very slow but rigorous and scientific review process than what is offered here.

Good science should not care for a few month of review instead of a few weeks. If the presented results seem important to the point of needing to be urgently out there, you can always upload a preprint to arXiv or a similar repository before or during the review process.

Paid for fast peer-reviewing is WRONG. It prioritizes the science done in rich laboratories of the rich countries. That's not how science is supposed to work. It's stupid to think that introducing this "market forces" into the reviewing process won't have an effect on its output (and I'm not talking about speed here).
But if it were 100% would github be able to survive?
London does this on plenty of lines — there are plenty of cases of stations where the platforms are parallel with a 5m tunnel between them.
Very cool. Reminds me of IFS fractals and a book I read, "Fractals Everywhere," which discussed them.
I think it isn't a bad idea to create a new community of this type. If you are looking for an existing community with an overlapping scope there is http://workplace.stackexchange.com/
I've taken the view of treating our database slaves as special and allocating all the memory on the slave to ES. That way ES (or any other db) always runs on the right slave, and no other potentially long running/resource hungry process runs alongside it (but just enough that's jenkins tasks and chronos tasks can still rune if need be).

AKAIK, there isn't a right way to run databases because the persistent storage layer into mesos is still being baked.
> Catholic doctrine for example is quite clear a belief in evolution does not contradict church doctrine.

Of course they are, they have to adapt. Who would go to church if they still insisted that the sun revolves around the earth? Just goes to show that God begins where true knowledge ends.
Given that the cars can't overtake each other, and that it's unthinkable to move a car when its safety door is blocked open, then inevitably the pair of cars behind the stopped pair will have to reverse direction until they come to the first available exit/entrance and stop there with doors open until the blocked safety door is cleared and the original stopped pair can move again. Obviously a parked car-pair will also impede the car-pair behind that, so in fact the whole system will have to come to a stop. But the operation of a conventional elevator shaft is likewise completely blocked for as long as the safety doors are blocked open: probably the major difference is that the result is less waiting inside a blocked elevator and more waiting for a blocked elevator. A normal two-elevator system will at least have one elevator working as normal while the other is stopped by a long-blocked car, but OTOH short blockages should delay the Hitachi paternoster system less thanks to its element of parallelism. Also, long door blockages could get sticky on a Hitachi paternoster without a stop on every floor, but I assume that the intended common-case solution for this is "don't do that, then". (For similar reasons, implementing restricted-access floors on a Hitachi paternoster would be problematic.)
As a former avid motorsports fan I believe all motorsport racing forms are dying as the cars are more and more considered a nuisance by young generations and they seem to have plateaued with their mechanical capabilities for a while.

To return fun back to motorsports and enable everyone to compete if they want, I think best would be to have RC models with realistic characteristics (or even real cars) and real-time camera/remote driving ability. Most fun nowadays is in simulators anyway, no TV experience can translate to what one can experience in a simulator competing against other people (sorry F1). Things like renting a NASCAR on an oval or Porsche on a Nürburgring aren't for everyone.
Those stats are faulty - the infant mortality rate 2 centuries ago was massive, which dragged the life expectancy down massively. Also, I don't think extending our life past 80 or so is a good idea.

Quality of life is far more important than quantity. Define "overcrowded"... First world countries are more crowded than they were 30 years ago, and (IMHO) the quality of life has gone down.

And as for your "increase food production"... We're force feeding chickens to be morbidly obese, pumping them full of anti-biotics so they don't get ill from living in squalid conditions. We're killing off the bee population with pesticides everywhere. These things are not good, and will only get worse as there are more people to feed.
Step 2.5: open a terminal.
> China has some cyber military...

China has approximately 2 million people in its 'cyber army'. Not all of them are going to be experts, but sheer volume makes them probably the most effective 'cyber army' out there.
Anecdotal, but I've bought refurbished stuff a couple times and had to repeatedly replace logic boards and other parts. I probably wouldn't do that again.
Thanks. It does look though like that site is targeted more at smaller companies than ours. My understanding is that at our scale we would probably want a firm representing our interests.
They pay the US government with censorship.
I'll wager doing well in interviews isn't a good predicator of success either.
After reading that wiki article (i.e. not the actual treaty), it seems like any argument that Canada’s vote harms profitability of Chinese companies could be flipped around just as effectively. China’s restrictions harm Canadian media companies. So I don’t see why Canada should be all that worried about passing this law.

I think it’s more likely just straight politics as usual. Trudeau might very well have done the same thing without the restrictions of the treaty.
Definitely. Focusing on security before your first data breach or security assessment is called premature optimization, and it's a serious anti-pattern, because it wastes valuable resources that could be spent increasing the threat surface.

(This is sarcastic, as I assume the original comment was)
Since your customer also will bail you out when you fail what's the point in even trying? It's a lot more profitable to bill like your planes work, but to provide planes made out of cardboard.

Until you start executing companies (or CEOs) for incompetence you will keep getting the same results.
NASA just successfully sent a helicopter to Mars. We developed two very effective vaccines using mRNA technology in a few months and had it through FDA trials in under a year. CAR T cell therapies (3 FDA approved and more coming) are changing how we treat cancer. There's amazing technology all around you.
This doesn't jive with any data or personal experience I have. The Ramsey Solutions study also seems like garbage, especially because it seems like their definition of millionaire is someone with $1M in a 401k.

But if you line up 100 teachers or CPAs and 100 doctors in the USA, you can sure as hell bet the doctors will be far wealthier than the teachers or CPAs.

It's a fact that US doctors, across the whole population of doctors, earn $200k+ per year, and outside of software engineers, I don't think any of the Ramsey careers earn anywhere near as much as a population (unless management includes high level execs in F500 companies?). Docs are conspicuously missing because Ramsey is trying to sell something to people with lower to moderate incomes/high debt, such as teachers/CPA/attorneys, etc and they're not targeting doctors. Doctors would never need the Ramsey website.

See the difference in advice on a website like whitecoatinvestor.com vs Ramsey.

As for assumptions about personal finance behaviors, I'm sure some doctors are bad at it, just like every other profession. But I would need some pretty firm evidence that doctors who are by any measure, very highly motivated and intelligent individuals, are somehow so poor at managing their finances that they squander $100k+ per year.
Awesome, will listen to that podcast now. Thanks.
You can get a recycled 512gb iPhone NAND for ~50USD.

You might have to copy the original SYSCFG (containing stuff like mac addresses, calibration, etc) to one of the new NANDs using something like http://www.jcidtech.com/product/product-86-806.html

All the iDevices (including laptops since at least T1) use the same NAND packages. Pre-iPhone 8 / T2 devices use a BGA60 package, while NANDs in devices after that use a BGA110 package.

For example, the NAND chip found in the iFixit teardown of the 2019 16 inch (TSB4227) is explicitly listed as supported by the programmer linked above: https://i.imgur.com/06a0KEg.jpg
Not at all, good question. You do get tokened access to a private PyPI package index, specific to your account and subscription.

At the moment the personal and pro plans use the same repo and infrastructure. But pre-release packages will be listed only for pro accounts.

Here's a preview of the software license (also linked from the subscription page): https://www.codestasis.com/buy/pro/software-license/
Is 15 minutes a day really too much to ask for?
IIUC, you're saying that the GP's approach is a recipe for failure. Can you elaborate?
I have a background in both. Both are implemented in physical mediums. The gating and current flow are similarly physical as are magnetic field changes on disk mediums. There is a greater diversity in the brain which uses field effects ala hormones, ion movement, transmitter diffusion, and direct electrical connection. The physical/informational duality is present in both so I would suggest that the building out of the hardware using the ambient materials (i.e. trophic factor) is the more specific difference you're looking for rather than the duality.

You transition to a difference in encoding which is a significant but separate consideration. I think the thrust of your statement agrees with the science but quickly nice into speculation and undue specificity that to me reads as though you are declaring fact. Language and good communication are hard.
Is this study really just telling us that 90% of adults have had a cold in the recent past?

edit: Not implying SAR COV-2 is "a cold". I'm implying it's a coronavirus also like the common cold, hence an antibody study would have to be careful to select for the right one.
In many states if you leave your job willingly you don't qualify for unemployment.
As a foreigner I would say this is a bad thing. Ultimately, it'll be the outcry (or lack thereof) in the US that will determine whether or not Facebook will start taking people's privacy more seriously.
Warm and humid can go both ways, because sometimes it means more time indoors wherever there is climate control, shade or cold drinks at-hand.

And the poorer/denser the country, even more congregation in the fewer climate controlled spaces there are.
Oh, it isn’t worth preserving. That was my original point.
Wait, so are you claiming that upon receiving the study material these kids had to have known they were cheating? Or they knew they were cheating upon receiving the test?

Because the former is preposterous. It was a pre-fab "teachers" test from their textbook publisher. It sounds like the perfect thing to take the night before the real test to see what you may need to look over one more time.

The latter is less preposterous, but still in the wrong mind. Is it the student's job to disclose what they studied? Frankly as long as they didn't actively steal their professors test I don't see how they can be put at fault. They studied hard, studying extra material, and got lucky when their professor decided to forgo doing his job and mailed-in the creation of his test. So now it's their fault for not telling the professor "hey it seems you copied someone else's work"?

These sound like regular college students in a 600 person business class just trying to graduate. They're not the morally bankrupt scourge of the earth, and your damning evidence against their employability (or apparent lack thereof) is based on them not coming forth because of a study guide?
They obtained the test blank using, at best, morally
questionable methods (social engineering, purchasing them
under false pretenses, etc).

Why do you believe that?

When I've bought the teacher's guide to a textbook in the past, no authentication as a teach was required whatsoever.
Most people were still farmers. Greater than 90% of the population had to be farmers, because if that wasn't the case the people would starve, because farming was so inefficient. While many improvements in agriculture throughout history had vastly increased the agricultural surplus and the capacity for non-farm work nevertheless the bulk of the population had been farmers. Only since the late 19th century has that changed.
A piece of advice for you programming guys so you won't need to waist your time on stuff like this (maybe it's for some "designers" too):

Car designer has to work within constrains (materials, engineering, production capabilities, market so on ). He has to understand these things at least a little bit, work them out with colleagues from respective fields.

So does web designer, product designer, packaging designer, book designer and so on. This is why they are called designers and not artists (constrains, utilitarian purpose). The term it self means that this person understands aesthetics _plus_ has other knowledge of working in a specific field.

So if you hire some guy who can draw a nice face or make a poster to do your interface, sorry but this is your problem. You would be surprised how many designers out there start with wire frames, user interviews and glancing through ux and usability books before they even think about doing anything in PS.

@michokest: I have to use teambox on one project now, possibly it's a good thing that you fired yours.
I find it interesting that this is getting down-modded.

I think the ethics of IT is an interesting and important subject, and I was surprised to see someone unabashedly admitting to using his position to read confidential material.

I don't think our industry has a good enough set of accepted ethical guidelines, and I'd like to see that change.
> I found out the old teacher had given the same test for a number
> of years and every Greek / Club on campus had copies. Oops.

I think this is true of a lot of frats and clubs: there's the "course bible" that you consult for help with your psets. I don't know about your class, but when I've taught classes we had a very clear policy with respect to bibles: if you're copying your answers out of a bible, you're cheating, period.

There's nothing wrong with using previously-distributed material to help you study. There is something wrong with copying answers from an old test. There is also an obvious difference between the two, namely, one helps you learn the material, the other only helps you get a passing grade.
Don't forget `iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j TARPIT` ;)
Yes, but that's just because the government butt-fucks unions. I've never seen any country that actively worships its unions as badly as America. If automobile unions didn't have such huge wages and crazy pensions and benefits, the auto-sector wouldn't have collapsed from being ridiculously uncompetitive. The only reason the school sector hasn't collapsed is because it's not selling anything to go broke off of.

It's notable that the US is one of the few countries where private schools have a huge lead on public schools. I remember when I was in highschool in the UK that it actually came out that (on average) private school students graduated a grade-average lower than public school students. It's good if you're in a slum area, but if you're in a slum area you don't have the money to pay for private school to begin with.
Are undergraduate recommendation letters really sent to a specific person? And only that person reads it? I doubt it.

I briefly browsed the organization's website, but I didn't find any verbatim copies of the documents they describe obtaining, so I can't confirm/deny this suspicion.

I think it's known that the letters can be read by anyone at the University and Federal Law has stated for the last 40 years that students have a right to view these communications. Not only has this right been codified for at least a generation, every student does have the right to know what a school is recording and communicating about them.

There's no (valid) assumption of privacy anywhere to be found here.
> We must counter China now before it grows more powerful.

Wouldn't that line of thinking also justify sending in the nukes?
It is interesting to see Switzerland becoming a technology hub in the post blockchain era.
As long as we're adding books to a dystopian-novel reading list, consider That Hideous Strength - a sort of spiritual prequel to 1984 describing the gradual rise of such a regime. It also might be the last major work in the genre before the atomic bomb, and predates 1984. It's a transitional work, which is both interesting and a source of its limitations -- I'll leave you with Orwell's book review to detail its strengths and weaknesses which should get you an idea: http://www.lewisiana.nl/orwell/

You can also consider Chesterton's The Man who Would Be Thursday, referenced in that review as well.
Off-topic

Joepie91 once did a small nodejs project for me, that's why I recognized your link.

I'm kinda worried as "not an acquaintance" about his post about depression and that he didn't post anything since 2016.

Anyone know what happened?
But that wasn't your own platform was it? It was explicitly distributed. The crux of my comment was the "own" part. You don't just have a share in it, it's yours.
Yup. It takes up to 45 days to come though.
Note that Google blatantly lied about the motivations of the hackers, shamefully claiming that the intent was to target dissidents. Pretty consistent with the narrative in the article, to say the least.
My story: I had 500 true fans for RailsApps at one point in 2014. They paid $20/month for my Rails tutorials, which supported my open source project. It was wonderful to discover that if you are passionate and deliver your best, often without a thought to monetization, you'll have fans. "100 True Fans" makes a case for capitalizing on that kind of popularity. But fans can be fickle and creators can lose their passion. Establishing a relationship between fans and a creator isn't the same as establishing a sustainable business.
Correct me if I am wrong it was a long time since I checked the progress.

AFAIK, EU/UK, Korea only has plans to discuss and move forward on selected spectrum sometime in mid 2021. No exact date has been announced unlike the US. Which is a done deal. i.e It is not likely any part of the world other than US to get 6Ghz in 2021.

> Class II Permissive Change

Is that new? I remember Smartphone cant add new frequency spectrum support without going through FCC recertification again . Although that was many years ago.
Yes (source: another comment that described it. lock & button to remove. hot swapping supported)
Just sayin' ... this time around ...
a) the universe of gamers is larger and
b) there's a larger base of phones which can be thought of as thin clients versus a full PC and
c) node.js is widespread with Deno upcoming and
d) multiplayer VR is closer to reality if it only need to compute one state at the server?

Multiplayer online experiences are also growing to include more than gaming, such as betting and gambling and zoom and trading crypto.

Are websockets and or browsers improving to handle this server centric shift?
How do we remove spammers? I don't see a flag on comments. Is there some process to report things like this?

And just to lay out my cards, discussing masturbation videos on HN might conceivably be a fine tech topic, but this is clearly just a bot.

Edit: just checked the search, it seems mostly unbroached. I bet there's fascinating work on how to do recommendation videos, traffic time and duration analysis, content presentation, maybe even color and lighting a/b testing ... genuinely interested if people know about it.
...thus exploiting a shortcoming in the UX error messages where the condition was continually reported as Incorrect Password when the true problem was the account was locked.

Without this shortcoming the child's deceit would not have worked on the adults who tried to troubleshoot the problem.

Authentication is a mess...
When I played with a real printing press, I found the labor-intensive step of setting the type to be relaxing. Once you were proficient at locating the letters from the case, you almost didn't need to think. And no they weren't made of brass, but lead, and you weren't suppose to eat finger foods after typesetting.
I use analytics to check on the keywords, and number of users per different countries. Their UI is hard to use.
what other solution is there?
