They key thing is to minimize the amount of time a candidate is waiting back to hear from you on the next step. We see a strong correlation between the companies who have the highest closing rates on candidates (70% or more) and how responsive they are in every interaction. The best companies will respond to a candidate on next steps within 24 hours at every step of the process.

Wait, what? Isn't this a highly subjective and religious claim that comes out of nowhere and isn't relevant to the article? Or is that a commonly used expression I am unaware of?
I love how the (now famous) researchers dismiss at the time what has become Google's main chase:

"These types of personalized PageRanks are virtually immune to manipulation by commercial interests.
For a page to get a high PageRank, it must convince an important page, or a lot of
non-important pages to link to it. At worst, you can have manipulation in the form of buying
advertisements(links) on important sites. But, this seems well under control since it costs money"

You seem to be confusing legality with ethics, or perhaps morality.

But in any case, since you're convinced he was fully mentally competent, then what was illegal? He must have fully understood that the power of attorney paperwork he signed was transferring full financial control. And it'd be hard to argue that the money was not managed in his best interests.

So if a fully competent adult willingly signs away financial decisions for his money, and those decisions are made, what problem do you have with it? After all, it was his decision to sign the paperwork, if a grown man wants to hand over financial control to someone else, why should anyone stand in his way? Just like in your scenario, if a grown man wants to hand over his life savings to anyone that can tell a sad story, why should anyone stand in his way?

Regardless of what arguments were made to persuade him that signing the paperwork was a good idea, the details were all clearly spelled out in the paperwork.
> Lots of unlikely things "do happen," but if that's the immediate explanation

Where did I say it was my immediate explanation and this is _likely_ what is happening?
You're right! Completely, absolutely, 100% right. If this was a plausible attack vector, we could see it used now. And you know what? We do!

This is why some people are concerned about technical decisions that make this vector more dangerous. Systems that attack by, say, injecting DNS responses already exist and are deployed in real life. The NSA has one - Quantum. Why make the cache poisoning worse?
This is totally inappropriate.
Windows Server hardening standards
I've been reading about CIS Benchmarks and DISA STIGs for Windows Server hardening. Does anyone have any input on these or using a different standard?
The politics of Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Virginia & Washington have all noticeably undergone this effect over the past forty years.

Heck, that effect was the entire reason for Bloody Kansas, with pro- and anti-slavery people moving into the territory in order to influence its politics. It's why the Free State Project exists. It's why some politicians want to decrease immigration, and others want to increase it.

I'm curious why you think it doesn't exist. It's hardly an extraordinary claim, and makes perfect sense: people from a place have the habits of mind common to that place; when they move elsewhere, they retain those habits of mind for some time. Even if they were outliers at home, they are more likely to be like their former neighbours than a random subset of their new ones (ever noticed how much you have in common with a fellow countryman you meet whilst travelling abroad? It's the same effect).

And when there is a tremendous influx of people from one particular place into another particular place, then one will be more likely to find people from the former place in the latter — that's just math.

Maybe you find this good, but I don't: we should try to figure out what makes a state the sort of place people move from rather than the sort of place people move to, and replicate that.

(in California's case, I think it's the sort of place people move to because they must and from because they can)
If you were going across browser versions/platforms, it's possible that an appropriate audio codec couldn't be negotiated...perhaps some browsers use different codecs for different network conditions? It seems unlikely, but possible.

> Also, that cache would need to only kick in when the server was unreachable or produced SERVFAIL, not when it returned a negative result. Negative results returned by the authoritative server are correct, and should not result in the recursive resolver returning anything other than a negative result.

Precisely. I am not suggesting any change to how a caching resolver comprehends valid responses from the authoritative server for a domain. For example, if the authoritative server says, "No such domain," then the domain is understood to be gone. At that point, the domain being gone is in fact the last-known-good resolution.

I do agree this is ridiculous and they should be embarrassed about this kind of stuff, but I do want to remind people that Facebook is an advertising product selling "you" to advertisers. They have to please their advertisers, not users. I am glad to see people complaining. I hope people continue to complain and news outlets like this ridicule them, but until we stop giving our information away for free to these corporations, they are going to continue to do immoral and dangerous activities. Facebook is not the problem here. We are!

You could be correct, just recently the Australian supermarkets announced a crackdown on self-checkout theft (mentioned in the podcast) which would seem unlikely if tolerances weren't currently lenient. In the last week the Coles supermarket I went to had rolled out entirely new software / UI on the machines, and for the first time in ages there were long self checkout queues and people seemed to be taking longer.

There's not a great answer that isn't "Convince the government to spend tons of money on it" I feel like. Desalination is FAR more expensive than doing what we're currently doing (that is, getting it fresh to start). Until that balance tips it's unlikely we'd invest into desalination heavily.

WW3 HILARY WATCHED VINCE FOSTERS MURDER,LIVE GOOGLE IT
The point of an election is not to find the perfect human being, it's to pick between the lesser of two evils.

The dirt on Clinton is well known: Her hawkish attitude to war, her enthusiastic use of drones, her embrace of free-trade policies like TPP, and so on.

The dirt on Trump is way, way worse, and more keeps coming to light: What has he paid in taxes? What is he hiding? Why do his businesses keep failing in a spectacular way? Why is he constantly being sued by thousands of people? Why does he flip out at the slightest provocation?

Trump isn't the worst human being in history, but he's the worst major party candidate for president in the last hundred years.

If Thiel was supporting Romney, Cruz, hell, any of the last round candidates in the last twenty years, nobody would be upset. Why he chose to get in bed with this particular turd, I don't know.

"Challenges" is exactly the sort of Dilbertesque euphemism that you should never say in a situation like this.

Calling it a "challenge" implies that there is some difficult, but possible, action that the customer could take to resolve the issue. Since that is not the case, this means either you don't understand what's going on, or you're subtly mocking your customers inadvertently.

Try less to make things sound nice and MBAish, and try more to just communicate honestly and directly using simple language.
Blaming "free market" for Linux kernel underfunding is very twisted logic.

Firmware updating isn't exactly a "hard tech" problem, even if it is hard to do right. I suspect we'll see some generic firmware update frameworks/solutions emerge in the coming decade, and at that point adoption will pick up rapidly because being able to push updates is good for business.

The national average is $21k, so really it's $29k you're out over what the rest of the country charges.

Which is not ideal, but on a $600k+ ($29k is 5% or less) home, let alone a $1m home, that simply isn't the primary cost driver.

========

The whole article seems like it's poorly written or actively attempting to mislead. It's not until 1/2 way through that you learn:

Prop 13 stymies local tax increases, which means housing is an enormous cost for cities because they can't recoup their costs through property taxes. Instead, taxes go to the state government.

I dunno, could you imagine that severing the link between new development which increases local costs (schools, roads, utilities, police) and local income could affect cities' interest in building housing? Unlike complaints about environmental impact costs, this seems like a much more plausible explanation for the lack of housing.

Then the article finally explains that building impact fees are the only way local cities have to recoup their direct costs, which explains their rise. Why wasn't that in the first 1/2 of the article?

Also, prop 13 means rising prices are all to the good for home owners. In most (all?) other states, rising property prices mean homeowners pay more tax, which creates an incentive for homeowners to oppose too large an increase in home prices.

Finally, the complaining about the Zero Net Energy mandate is misleading as well when it presents it only as a negative. A few minutes research will show that it's intended to curb the growth of energy requirements. Power plants are big, expensive, and tend to pollute a lot. If we want to have 45m people in CA, we have to be judicious about how much pollution our state can withstand. And someone has to pay for those new power plants we will have to bring online if we don't curb power usage growth.
Why are paywalled articles showing up in Google search results? I thought google banned this sort of BS.
Flip side of the coin here, My personal HP laptop was bought on special as Windows 8 was just coming to market and the store wanted to get the older stuff with Win7 off the shelves. That would put it around late 2012, so almost 4 years old. I was getting fed up with the Win 10 upgrade and decided it was time to go full time Linux, I replaced the old drive with a SSD, not because the drive failed but because I wanted to, plus as a safety net I could always put the Windows drive back in. Sure I'd like to buy a new laptop, and am leaning toward System76, but as long as the one I have is still working I can't really justify it.

So what, its probably less than 10%, which is less than the sales taxes on most other things being purchased. We could just as well complain about the profit the builder is making, which is likely a lot more given how much most sub contractors are making.

Its sounds like a big number until you consider the final cost, aka everything is relative, it would be a much bigger deal if the houses were selling for $100k because then it would be 50% of the cost.
A company that bills themselves as a reliable, highly available disaster handling tool ought to know better than to have a single point of failure anywhere in its infrastructure.

Specifically, they shouldn't have all of their DNS hosted with one company. That is a major design flaw for a disaster-handling tool.

No matter what is pretty tough. And it's not like they're an insurance company that can re-insure their risks.

The people who depend on DNS have one DNS-related job: to mitigate risk relative to their potential losses and existence.

Thats broken (only matches the exact PID, no child processes and according to the documentation does not work on SMP systems). It also got removed at some point. There is a cgroup match which may be usable instead, also network namespaces may be a good solution in some cases.

I think Google stopped updating Pagerank two years back
I summarize something similar to all this in a deep reply above to the top comment along with some other observations.

I will say that when I was first assigned an Embody at work, I went through a period of comfy->uncomfy->comfy-again, so sometimes sticking it out works. Going through the setup guide (think it came with a DVD even) and putting some work into making it just right helped. Ultimately it became such an important part of my workstation ergos that I dropped a few hundred on one so I could work from home in the same chair as work, and haven't regretted it.

But I totally agree with you--you either fit the profile for it or you don't. I think it's incredibly important that you test the Embody before buying it. If it fits you it's going to be the best chair on the market, hands down, bar none. If it doesn't it's going to be a serious pain.

Regarding reclining, the tilt knob isn't really for active reclining, if I recall their setup guide correctly, more to set the right resistance so you float at an ergonomic 110 degrees while allowing wiggle room to fidget. At the very least, that's how I set mine, and it works pretty well. I feel kind of suspended in the chair that way.

The tilt limiter is set so I don't have much room at all beyond that--that lets me push backwards against the limiter and then arch my (and the chair's) back to stretch.

The arms are crappy. I can't argue there. They sit too far back, and there's too much play in the spread adjuster joint. The height adjustment on them is excellent--they drop well below my elbows so I can use the chair "without" armrests--but the rest of the adjustment is poor.

(To the parent poster, btw, I wear a pretty thick leather belt with mine fine--really does depend on how you're shaped).
> Unfortunately, forced firmware updating is an area our governments should not be mandating.

It absolutely is an area that governments should be mandating, because the problem is an externality. These attacks are a cost imposed on neither the producer nor the consumer of the device itself, and (apart from some highly speculative libertarian conjectures) the only things that can fix externalities are taxes, regulations, and lawsuits.

Lawsuits are infeasible in this case since we probably can't prove whose devices were involved in any given attack, so that leaves taxes and regulations - and the latter would be better so we don't have to go through the business of collecting taxes from manufacturers and then distributing them to the victims of attacks.

> That puts unnecessary strain on small companies

Clearly it isn't unnecessary, because I can't get to any friggin websites today. If small companies don't have the resources to update the devices, they shouldn't be building them in the first place.
That is not helpful if you want vanity name servers
And yet, everything in that paragraph is absolutely true. If anything, they have stopped short from taking it to its logical conclusions. Since it costs money, only when more money than it costs is involved will this take place.
Sorry if this sounds dickish, but renting 3 servers @ $75 apiece from 3 different dedicated server companies in the USA, putting TinyDNS on them, and using them as backup servers, would have solved your problems hours ago.

Even a single quad-core server with 4GB RAM running TinyDNS could serve 10K queries per second, based on extrapolation and assumed improvements since this 2001 test, which showed nearly 4K/second performance on 700Mhz PIII CPUs: https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2001-June/029457....

EDIT to add: and lengthening TTLs temporarily would mean that those 10K queries would quickly lessen the outage, since each query might last for 12 hours; and large ISPs like Comcast would cache the queries for all their customers, so a single successful query delivered to Comcast would have (some amount) of multiplier effect.

Wow, that whole article is a very interesting read. Certainly a world run by sociopaths does generally fit with how history has unfolded... I think though that the author makes one mistake where he conflates the perception that social mores are ultimately constructed fables with the ability and willingness to construct your own in order to control other people.
I wonder if that's part of the disconnect for people - I love self checkout, but I live alone, all my shopping fits in one basket, and I walk to & from the store. If you're shopping for a family and filling a whole shopping cart to take to a car, you probably have more items than are reasonable for efficient self checkout.
Running a redundant DNS provider is expensive as all hell.

While 'expensive' is a relative term, I disagree that it's cost-prohibitive for most firms, as I looked into this specifically (ironically considered using Dyn as our secondary). The challenge isn't coming up with the funds, it's if you happen to use 'intelligent DNS' features; these are proprietary (by nature) and thus they don't translate 1:1 between providers.

In addition to having to bridge the divide yourself, by analyzing the intelligent DNS features and using the API from each provider to simultaneously push changes to both providers, you have to write and maintain automation/tooling that ensures your records are the same (or as close as possible) between the providers. If you don't do this right, you'll get different / less predictable results between the providers, making troubleshooting something of a headache.

Thus in that case the 'cost' in man effort (and risk, given that APIs change and tooling can go wrong) in addition to the monthly fee.

If all you're doing is simple, standard DNS (no intelligent DNS features), it's not as hard, and it's just another monthly cost. Since you typically get charged by queries/month, if you run a popular service you're probably well able to afford the redundancy of a second provider.
