I too can wholeheartedly recommend Coming Apart. I think Mr. Murrays synopsis of why we've had a splintering post WWII is great and probably pretty accurate. I just wish I knew an easy solution to fix it. But there is definitely a loss of shared values among Americans. I'd also recommend Bowling Alone by Robert Putnam as a starter on this topic.

> which really ought to be a warning to people who argue that inequality and dispossession are perfectly fine and expected consequences of a good system.

A "good system" doesn't just mean rewarding the top contributors with more but also implies the existence a strong and fair legal system where human, business, and property rights are respected and criminal law is enforced. That is almost always a necessary prerequisite for capitalism to function (even Adam Smith wrote about this quite a bit in the 1700s) but capitalism usually gets faulted regardless - even when market economies are pigeonholed on top of a) purposefully neglectful authoritarian states or b) places with under-developed legal systems.

There have been plenty of cases in Mexico where rightful owners of land were 'dispossessed' and this didn't happen as a result of a functioning free-market system (which is what I believe you were taking a swipe at).

Whether the land rights were fairly distributed or respected post-colonization is also not a cause/effect result of a market economy but a result of the functions of the state/legal system. It certainly won't help either when responsibility is post-defacto shifted onto markets where the powerless poor will have even less authority than in courts or government.

Stealing a bunch of stuff then shifting previously centralized authority/responsibility over to markets is a sadly common tactic in underdeveloped regions, not surprising there was such hostility towards capitalism in South/Central America in the past 60 yrs where it was rushed in without addressing underlying systemic issues (see also: Russia and parts of eastern europe in 80/90s).

"It's not zero-sum" is a popular and lazy fallacy used by economically illiterate people to argue against welfare policies.

It goes hand in hand with the just world fallacy, which, in conjunction is used to justify the position of the currently capital-poor class.

E.G. Because the economy is not zero-sum, those people would have been able to produce wealth for themselves with the same ease as the people who are currently in possession of wealth/capital.

> the interviewer is always right

That is an awful sentiment, and I find myself in violent disagreement with you.

A good number of my enjoyable interviews have been with candidates who clearly knew more than I did, and could expand from an interesting detail to a short ex-tempore lecture on the topic. I cherish each of those.

An interview where I, as an interviewer, learn something is a fine thing indeed.

What you call "tribalism", political scientists would call "coalition voting". You're describing the straightforward product of Duverger's Law as if it were some idiosyncrasy of human nature and not the design of our political system.

The word "conservative" doesn't help us much here either. Are black families more likely to attend church than urban white families? Yes. Are older black voters more likely to have strong traditionalist views on marriage and marriage equality? Yes. Are black voters likely to respond to appeals to defer to the authority of the police? Very much no.

It tells more of the interviewer than the interviewee. They don't ask the questions you mentioned because they don't know or they don't know how to best judge the answers. They asked the questions they know well, that show you what the breadth of their knowledge is. It's like the saying A-players hire A-players while B-players have a hard time judging A-players.
>I've had two phone screens with them and both times they were very technical people. Then again it was some time ago and with the bigger scale they may have changed it up.

Just to clarify, at least for the SRE hiring process, you first have a single technical phone screening with a technical recruiter (not an engineer) which is literally on the phone. At least it was for me, no webcam or anything. It's a pretty short and back-to-back question/answer type of conversation similar to what is told by the article (although the article strikes me as odd and does not match my experience). After that you have a couple (or more if need) of "phone" (read: hangouts with webcam and shared doc) interviews with actual engineers and those are more technical and require you to write code as well. Then you'll be moved to on-site interviews.

(This is for Europe at least, I imagine it'd be similar in other areas but can't know 100%).
Nano-spike catalysts convert carbon dioxide directly into ethanol
Here's a thought experiment: read the article, replacing the interviewer-side questions with ones that make them sound more plausible. (This is the side that we should believe to be less accurate, if only because the interviewer isn't reporting their questions.) Pretend you're the interviewer, and ignore the internal monologue.

For question 5, you asked about an inode, and were told about an inumber, and got back an answer insisting that the inode was an index.

For question 6, maybe change "inode" to "information in the inode". The interviewee still has not figured out the distinction between an inode and an inumber.

For questions 7 and 8, apply the changes I suggested.

At what point do you decide that the interviewee is hopelessly arrogant and not worth your further time? And how do you get them off the phone gracefully?

Maybe around question 10, when they're quoting bits to show off and not saying the words that would actually let them communicate with other engineers like "SYN" and "ACK"?

No ill will is required on the interviewee's side, unless you consider refusing to waste time on bad candidates "ill will".

I agree with you, Romney has been relatively much more sane than other Republicans. I would have even voted for him if he was able to run as Massachusetts Governor Romney and not Pandering to the Insane Right Wing Romney. But he's certainly an outlier among the present class of Republicans.

I think the Republican Party's pro-life position to be discriminatory against women. No one can force you to be an organ donor. Even if donating your organs would save someone's life, you have autonomy over your body and you are allowed to decline to be an organ donor. How is abortion any different? Even if you could save the baby's life, a woman should have complete autonomy over her body, period.

Immigration is a huge issue, and I really thought the GOP was turning the corner on it, but it's all fallen apart since the GOP decided it would rather pander to an angry white base. Hopefully Trump will lose big and the GOP will actually follow the research they did in 2012.

You sound like a reasonable person. I agree that wage discrimination and police violence aren't black and white issues. I agree that SJWism stifles honest debate. But I believe that climate change is real. I believe that marijuana has medicinal benefits and that the War on Drugs has been a colossal waste. I believe that religion has no place in government or political discourse. I believe that it doesn't matter what your sexual orientation or gender identity is. These aren't partisan issues in my mind; it's reality. Romney seems to understand this. But I'm from East Texas, and I know for every one of him, there's a dozen Louie Gohmerts. The GOP needs to get its shit together and jettison the insane branch of its tent before we end up with a de facto one party political system.

> What I can not comprehend is how respectable people and experts like Snowden and others from EFF can get behind a messenger that its authentication is based on cell phone numbers!

Authentication isn't based on cell phone numbers, that's just the identifier. See "verify security code" here: https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/general/28030015 The problem, which EFF does mention is that "if your contact changes keys, this fact is hidden away by default."

> When an application sends all your contacts to its servers (whether they are hashed or not) and more importantly when your whole access depends on a none encrypted code sent via SMS

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems as if you think that someone who hijacks your number will get access to some account where all your contacts are. That's not the case. The problem here is the same as above.

> and worst of all, your identifier can be tied to your real identity extremely easy, how can they call it secure at all?
> It is not all about E2E or how the crypto is designed or implemented, its also about your anonymity, your social graph and other pieces of information which are arguably more important not to give away!

That doesn't make it insecure, it's just not anonymous. No one claims that it is and it's not a goal https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/general/20971813

I don't agree with this. I have done Gnome 3.18 for 6 months, did i3 for another 12, and tbh, I found myself with a bog-standard Unity interface on a new machine about 3 months ago and I haven't bothered to change it. Why? Because it doesn't try to be clever, it doesn't get in the way, sure I have to use the mouse a tiny bit more, but it just seems nice and vanilla. It works well by being inconspicuous and straightforward, while not trying extra hard to be boring (Cinnamon). And the fonts look crisp like OS/x which, to my detail-oriented eye, is a big deal. Actually the only UI I consider truly interesting, believe it or not, is e17. That feels like being on a Star Trek transporter beaming onto a Romulan Warbird. Real deal no compromise "this ain't Kansas", if that's your thing. Try Terminology for a taster.

All the others (KDE) are trying too hard while simultaneously not being truly interesting. Or they're stultifyingly boring (cinnamon - why?) without being resource cheap. On this front, xfce on armbian is a beaut. Cinnamon without the weight. I also give i3 a big thumbs up btw but I just can't live without the tray icon conveniences for bluetooth, dropbox, power down etc.

There's a pretty substantial difference between an absolute monarchy and a constitutional one (which Thailand is). Just ask the Dutch how they feel about it, for example.

Monarchies are not necessarily bad, and the kind of shallow, absolutist thinking displayed here contributes nothing to the discussion.

Indeed. I did some sailboat cruising there this past February and it is a fabulous place (at least the coast is). As I met and talked to the locals I was surprised at how much people loved their king. When I would ask if their king was fair or their government responsive, not only would they answer positively but their faces would light up. They seemed to be genuinely happy with their government.

Then I found out about these laws. I'm no terrific judge of phoniness, but it seems to me that they are either well practiced at these responses or they are pretty happy with things.

Technically, no.

Big-O is a way of categorizing the growth of mathematical functions. Those functions can represent anything. It is wrong to talk about the big-O of an algorithm without specifying what you are measuring. Be it average operations, worst case operations, average memory, worst case memory, amortized average time, amortized average memory, and so on.

It happens to be that when we talk informally, we're usually talking about the worst case we are willing to think about. Quicksort's worst case is a sorted set, so we think of that as O(n^2). But then we turn around and cheerfully call a hash lookup O(1) because its O(n) worst case is incredibly rare in practice.
The problem with the "physical space" solution is that it eventually becomes an echo chamber as "undesirables" achieve outplacement.
