As I understand the US situation the federal level, the signatory of the treaty, didn't actually legalize anything. The states did, in breach of the federal law, but they are not signatories of the treaty.
> This puzzled me, as these Alzeheimer's and smoking results do not seem to be evidence of evolution; one would surely need to see a decrease over generations?

At least with smoking, we've been experiencing exactly that decrease for generations. Smoking has become vastly unpopular compared to how prevalent and socially accepted it used to be.
Social factors had been one of the main driving forces, but that doesn't mean it has to be the only driving force.

Just because it took until 2008 for the full effect of the property bubble bursting to be felt in the wider economy doesn't mean that the two weren't tied at the hip.

There's a direct line from Bear through AIG and Lehmans to the wider economy. Everyone was over-leveraged and GDP growth was predicated on the understanding that other people would keep on spending more. With house prices tanking that fantasy collapsed and everyone immediately started re-trenching. Cue recession. Any bubble large enough will always trigger a recession.

The government did everything it could to lessen the impact (sadly pretty much guaranteeing the next bubble will happen sooner and be larger in the process) but a recession was inevitable because people couldn't keep on spending money they din't have.

The Great Depression wouldn't have been as bad if economic stimulation had been applied earlier (although it may well turn out to have ended sooner, thanks to better targeted stimulation) but it couldn't have been avoided with better monetary policy. The boom relied on stocks continuing to climb exponentially. It was a ponzi scheme. And it burst.

Ultimately Central Bank policy is failing now because it doesn't have enough levers to restore balance to the economy. What lift we got in 2009 was from the automatic counter-cyclical kick of government spending that has largely petered out.

ps I didn't provide any story for 1926-29 boom so I have no idea what you're talking about there. You appear to be projecting.
Hopefully we get better at spotting sensory disorders and perhaps someday "sensory processing disorder" will be a recognized diagnosis with specific evidence-based treatment.

From the article: "field trials showed that DSM-5 ASD has improved specificity at the cost of excluding more cognitively able individuals, including up to 75% of those previously diagnosed with AS". Also from the article: "there is evidence that patients, families, education professionals, and health professionals connote AS with positive features and associate Autism with strange behavior, learning disability and family dysfunction".

Autism correlates with various things and I imagine that these would involve different therapy. For example, the number thrown around is that 1/3 are nonverbal and do not develop functional speech in adulthood (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Autism&oldid=7996...). In children, about half engage in self-harm (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2788.2003....) or physical aggression (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1750946712...).

It is not really there in the ELF. It exists as a section. But sections are not used at runtime, they only exists for tools like debuggers etc. You can strip them from the binary with e.g. the sstrip[0] tool and it still works fine.

What is used at runtime is the program headers named LOAD, which specifies the segments. Here is an example:

LOAD off 0x0000000000000000 vaddr 0x0000000000400000 paddr 0x0000000000400000 align 2**21
filesz 0x000000000000069c memsz 0x000000000000069c flags r-x
LOAD off 0x0000000000000e10 vaddr 0x0000000000600e10 paddr 0x0000000000600e10 align 2**21
filesz 0x0000000000000220 memsz 0x0000000000000650 flags rw-

...

Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
25 .bss 00000420 0000000000601040 0000000000601040 00001030 2**5
ALLOC

So note that .bss is placed at the end of the second segment (.bss at 0x601040 + 0x420 = 0x601460,
and the second segments ends in memory at 0x600e10 + 0x650 which is also 0x601460).
But note also that the file size is only 0x220, which places the end of the data mapped from the
file at 0x600e10 + 0x220 = 0x601030 which is slightly before .bss starts. So what happens is
that the information about .bss is actually described by setting the memory size of the LOAD
segment bigger than the file size, the dynamic linker will then fill the rest with zeroes.

Indeed, my best guess is that the interviewer had a mental check list and simply wanted me to say "prefix tree" or "trie" or similar. I suspect the debate over running time was just the interviewer's attempt to get me to say the magic word he wanted to hear. I also suspect the interviewer did not know much about hash tables or tries, or was so nervous and misguided about interviewing that the information was not readily recallable.
The "problem" is the movement of middle/upper middle class people into cities. High rents and displacement are one consequence of gentrification, but most people who care about those things are opposed to gentrification itself. The only solution is to keep the middle class in sprawl where it "belongs."

Given that IPv6 adoption has been incredibly slow, more IP
standards are unlikely to be transitioned to.

If you're really picky about layouts, you can just reuse your IPv4 address with your IPv6 address (given you have a prefix/etc)

IE: My IP is 1.1.1.1, my IPv6 prefix is 2607:ff58::/32, I can make my IPv6 IP 2607:ff58::1.1.1.1 (aka 2607:ff58::101:101). And if you're especially keen you can do some awful NAT tricks...

What kind of ecommerce company? I do a lot of work in the sector.

Your business is dependent on Google for traffic. You can embrace it and be beholden to platform rules, or you can build a direct audience and brand. The latter is hard but more defensible and there are many case studies to follow of other companies doing this.
If the candidate isn't familiar with your particular language(s)/libraries/frameworks/etc, there may be a way where you can isolate a part of your process and provide a sample data set to the candidate and give them an operation to be performed on it.
Depends on what part of the interviewing process is slowing you down.

Your other comment indicates that your question is not "what jobs interview with day-to-day challenges rather than google-scale hypotheticals"

>They involve discussing real world problems and work experiences with me. I still do not get offers from them.

The question should not be "how do I run from this problem"

It is first "how do i get a credible assessment of why I didn't receive offers"

and then "how do I build or repair that area of my skills"

This applies equally if not especially to "soft skills" aka "how am I perceived by other humans".

edit: I poked back into your history and it seems that you figured this out with your question from ~20 days ago. That's the right thread to pull IMO and it looks like that post got some responses. I'd say keep pushing in that area - sub one month is a very short timeline for both personal growth and varied interview rounds.
Our understanding is data retained by EFX primarily generated through consumer interactions was breached via the Apache Struts flaw (i.e., core databases not believed to have been
breached).

This is complete and utter garbage. There is no solid evidence to back this theory of the breach. It is still too early to tell exactly what data was leaked and how. We simply won't know until the security consultants auditing Equifax's systems publish a report (or otherwise publicize their results).
And a big fuck you to everybody that has made efforts and sacrifices to improve their credit rating, they can take the same (higher) interest rate as everyone else?
To be honest, I agree with the parent that the question is wrong. No company wants employees that are bad at interviewing. No company wants employees that are bad at anything, in fact.

Maybe it helps to contact the company that rejected you and ask them why they rejected you. This would allow you to narrow down your weaknesses and improve these skills. I've never tried this myself, so I'm not sure how common such a request is, but it seems like a sensible thing to do.

Out of curiosity, why is it only available indoors?
There are two massive problems and neither of them have anything to do with executing attacker's code.

First, for Equifax, their databases should be sufficiently isolated from front-end web servers. SQL gives you the ability to, in essence, ask the database any question the data can possibly answer. Instead, Equifax needs to do the work to enumerate all the questions they want the data to answer and put intermediate API services in place that answer only those questions. Public-facing web servers should only be allowed contact the intermediate API servers, and not the database. With data that has the value (to an attacker) that Equifax's database does, this is the minimum that needs to be done to offer reasonable security.

Second, there's an identity problem. That identities can be stolen using largely facts about people (name, address and such and, yes, SSN) is a fundamental problem in how we identify people. They're using non-secrets in a way that assumes they are secret. A Keybase identity is much closer to the model that the industry needs to adopt.

Chalking up the cause of this to flaws in some ancient Java web framework that's barely used anymore is just sweeping the true problems under the rug. The industry needs a fundamental overhaul to how they identify people and mandatory security compliance (hey...they foisted PCI-DSS on etailers and card processors, so they can't complain when something similar is foisted back on them) to keep our information safe.

I suppose that does explain the drop off in expression of the gene: Alzheimer's risk of death/year 1-3% [1]. That annual mortality rate is in the right ballpark to explain the frequency of gene expression decrease by about 50% between ages 40 and 80 [2].

Agree the study does look at genes influencing survival rates. I still don't see the link to the headline 'humans are evolving!'. Small second-order effects, okay, sure. So how about, 'Massive Genetic Study shows genetics affect mortality rates, plus maybe there's a small secondary effect on reproduction, who knows?'.

This is addressed in the article:

Why these late-acting mutations might lower a person’s genetic fitness — their ability to reproduce and spread their genes — remains an open question.

The authors suggest that for men, it could be that those who live longer can have more children, but this is unlikely to be the whole story. So scientists are considering two other explanations for why longevity is important. First, parents surviving into old age in good health can care for their children and grandchildren, increasing the later generations’ chances of surviving and reproducing. This is sometimes known as the ‘grandmother hypothesis’, and may explain why humans tend to live long after menopause.

This theory is mentioned in the article as well, but it doesn't seem very plausible if we're talking about living into the 80s or 90s.

At that age, the effect should be reversed as people often need care themselves rather than caring for grandchildren (who may be adults by that time anyway)

I suppose the "grandmother theory" originally only explained why women live beyond menopause, not into their 70s, 80s or 90s.
It takes a long time for the changes to be obviously observable. But at least some change has to occur in any given generation, in order for it to build up to 'significant' change over time. So now that we can look at genes directly, it makes sense that we would potentially be able to identify these changes.
I'm pretty sure this is not the case. Scientific texts are usually awfully bad in any language I speak, including 2 languages that are my native. In fact, "scientific paper style" language is so distinct, that it can be easily applied to a paper that is not "scientific" per se, essentially obfuscating it.

It seems to be very unpopular opinion here on HN, but it seems clear to me, that academia has become some kind of patalogical structure, which exists to exists — essentially an organism. It feeds on government and student's money, as long as it can seems credible and necessary to the outside world; and people within this structure can live as long, as they show that they are not "slacking" somehow — publishing papers, giving lectures — but they don't actually need (nor often want) to produce any result. Form has become more important than the essence.

So, here we have it: the form of a "scientific paper".

Counter-point: I am the technical lead on a team of 8. We ship a new data science product (or major enhancement to an existing product) about every 9 months, from inception through putting it in maintenance mode. Our products generate double-digit multiples of my team's costs in revenue and have a reputation for being the easiest to implement and most stable for our customers. We have one CS guy, who is a junior engineer, and he doesn't even have a Master's degree. I can't remember the last time an in-depth discussion about which data structures or algorithms to use actually came up in a design, or even mattered too much in the end.

The reason, as I see it, is simple: the engineering work the Principal Engineer and myself, with our juniors we mentor, do, is far more important than data structures and algorithms trivia. Once it gets to the point of deciding which of these to use the real problems have been solved already. Now, these choices aren't unimportant: the choice of a bad algorithm or data structure might cause problems, but they're choices that are in the main easy to understand and make when compared to the thought that goes in to the rest of the system.
There's another aspect that I can speak to personally. My career never really got off the ground. For most companies I'd get through all of the technical phone interviews just fine and after the in-person interviews it was always a rejection. Coupled with my deteriorating financial situation that lead to a lot of depression and massive amounts of self-doubt.

To this day I still doubt my abilities quite heavily. Friends and coworkers say I'm smart and talented and whatever, but quite frankly I don't believe them. These interviews can be soul crushing to people with my type of personality.

> Hopefully in your realistic setting, the challenge comes from the difficult tasks you are given to solve, not some jerk that's sniping at you from the sidelines.

I wish I could say that's true. If you're getting sniped from the sidelines in your interview, it's probably a part of the culture where you are interviewing. So it's quite likely to be a non trivial part of the problem you're solving.

That may be where it makes sense to do a custom clock showing on the wall counting not minutes but the cumulative cost of the meeting. For simplicity assume everyone is making $1/minute, so a 5 person half hour meeting costs $150 just for the people in the meeting without even factoring in whether it's delaying the project.
