It's an asymmetrical waste of time. The company invests nothing into it, the candidate invests 8-16 hours into it. This creates incentive to interview too many people, causing candidates to have to interview at too many places, wasting even more of their time.

At least in-person, both parties invest about as much time into the interview.
Given that there's exactly two individuals in said photos, in multiple poses, holding the object in question, they probably aren't stock photos at least. I also kinda doubt models were specifically hired to market this product.

I don't know if I believe a "designer" touched this page. Most designers would cringe at this page. (I like it, for what it's worth, it is excellent at communicating the product and the intent with which you should understand the product.)

I suspect they are either the people who developed the product, employees of people who developed the product, or friends of the people who developed the product.
I agree. You don't just randomly get an urge to do something you otherwise weren't already thinking about in some way. You just are not as good at caring/thinking about the consequences.
Why in the world would you perform an experimental procedure on both eyes?
I've been drawing dinosaurs for years. Sometimes my wife draws them for me (for purchases on my card, in front of the cashier). No one seems to care.
I've always thought this had more to do with change or attention blindess. The guard looks at identical cards so much that they just can't see that something isn't a card.

Instead of completely baseless speculation about liberal conspiracies to suppress the truth, you could demonstrate your claim by finding similar errors in "liberal" rulings. What you find "implausible" is irrelevant.
I haven't followed Mexican Twitter much, so I'm a little surprised but not too much to hear that there are anti-women trending topics with regularity. Do you think this is a general Mexican machismo cultural problem or something that is more localised to the internet?

At my local food cart station, I've had to sign for transactions on a sticky 4-inch iPhone screen held in the vendor's hand. She told me most people just drawn an X.

The usefulness of signatures as a means of verification reminds me of the scene from The Fugitive where Kimble saves the kid's life by scribbling an illegible "doctor's" signature on a medical order:

For checks I think banks definitely do this as I've also had a similar call. But I guess it comes down to volume and logistics. When you write a check your bank receives the original or copy of the deposited check. Credit card receipts go to the card processor who then deduct it from your account. I write at most 2 checks/month. I run 10 transaction per day for my card.

Checks have very little metadata to help in identifying fraud. CC transactions have time, location, and behavioural patterns to aid in catching fraud.
> Courts are political entities and always will be.

That is true.

I've come to believe that the ultimate role of the Supreme Court (and not of the lower courts) is the prevention of civil war. The role is essentially that of emitting a ruling that will keep the country from splitting so badly that factions square off and start shooting at each other. They goofed that up rather badly once. Their role is to provide a non-violent venue to debate our deepest differences, and forge a consenus of acceptable compromise. If they fail, we fracture.

The role of the lower courts is to apply S.C. decisions uniformly.

That said, I get rather annoyed at the "living constitution" crowd that wants to use the S.C. to get us all to collectively act like the constitution says something different than the plain words on the paper. If you don't like what it says, amend it for heaven's sake. Even the authors put forth a package of amendments before the ink was barely dry on the original. The way to change the constitution is to amend it, not re-re-re-interpret it.
Doesn‘t that mean I‘ll get all assets pushed to my client every time I visit any page of your site, regardless of the file‘s cache status?

That does not seem to be a good tradeoff, especially on mobile.
It has more to do with chargebacks than verifying at the time of the sale, as far as I know. If I claim I don't recognize a transaction, the business can defend themselves a little if they have my signature recorded for that transaction.
Does it runs iOS 11 smoothly?
I'm not sure what your point is here.

It's well-known that green coconut vendors are very common in India (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tender_coconut_vendo...). They have a cart of coconuts, chop the top off of one as you watch, and hand it to you to drink. As a tourist, it seemed to me to be safer than drinking water.

So, to the original point above, coconut water is not waste, and is quite refreshing, and fills a useful niche if you're worried about stomach bugs.
The problem is that the person receiving your signature usually has no way to verify that the signature belongs to the person authorized to whatever it is you signed for.

It's worse than that these days because you normally put your signature on a totally-broken too-small stylus pad that doesn't look as good as your worst ever pen-on-paper signature. Even if I made my best effort at most POS machines, it couldn't be used to prove anything.
Hmm... If I'm understanding correctly, they might possible be bound to opiate molecules and increase efficacy in hitting the receptors?

That makes some sense. By itself, I can't think of how it would benefit a healthy person. I'm not even sure what kinds of unhealthy people that might help.

So, to me it looked like, 'Hey, here are some fancy words! Don't look too deep, because they are mostly meaningless.' No offense intended, that's just what it looked like to a curious layman.

I have a commercial wild blueberry operation so I hear some really, really strange claims. Things like this peg my skepticism meter. No, my blueberries won't turn you into Superman or Einstein. They don't cure cancer, prevent HIV, or give you psychic powers.
Well, if you want a serious discussion then don't imply something just to be able to make a point.

But if you just want to win an argument: here you go.
This may be a selfish request but would you consider moving the original repo to it's own organization? The canonical repo gets a higher placement in search results and for link juice.

Plus if you were to move it to it's own repo/organization, it would allow the forks to submit their changes upstream and have one master repo instead of multiple forks with their own changes.
I reject your notion that humans aren't swayed by facts; categorically. You live in a world that exists because people are swayed by facts. Humans are swayed by facts, the best ones for sure, certainly not all. If you're not swayed by facts, you will not make a good judge and don't belong on the court.
This looks pretty cool! Pens/mice are great for analog style art (digital painting and the like), but for highly discrete art like pixel art a keyboard looks to be a much better interface at first blush.
No, JavaScript simply has inadequate numeric support.

Chrome’s implementation is fine (within spec) and makes the natural choice for a general purpose JSON implementation for JS.

The grizzly, as a top predator, was not really very afraid of humans and many people were killed by them in California before they were hunted to extinction. I would definitely not want them around as a farmer in the 1800's. With antibiotics, helicopter transport, and ER rooms today, I might support a reintroduction of grizzlies to the state. There is one on the state flag, after all, and are amazing creatures. On the other hand, I like how relaxed I can be hiking in the California Sierra without them. Hiking and camping in the Canadian Rockies feels a lot different.

Mountain lions (at least the ones evolved when we hunted them for the last 12,000 years) are much less hazardous to humans than grizzlies or wolf packs.
You know exactly what I mean. You just want to take my point to a ridiculous level to kill the argument.

Over the last 30 years the average salary of top management has grown a lot while the salaries of most other works have stagnated. If a company is successful the salaries of all employees should grow at the same rate. The CEO is already making more money so he is already rewarded more for his role.
You have a ready made fool proof automated solution to detecting an ISIS video or fake news ready to go? Because at the scale of youtube you can't do it with manual checking. If you do then Google would probably pay for it.

I agree it's a common drink, but much like orange juice it's not good in large quantities. So, the reason it ended up as a waste product was supply vastly outstripped demand.
As a Canadian, I haven't signed my name on credit card receipts in years, like the past 10 at least. The only time I do that is when I visit the States.

...states the author without evidence.

The author seems unfamiliar with the concept of levels of abstraction, and concludes that information presented in a way other than its rawest, most un-abstracted form isn't really information.
Thank you, this really encourages me after all that discussion! :-)
Agreed. Mostly because the amount of cash companies like Google and Apple have mean they can afford to not be magical for a long time. They have plenty of cash they can burn while trying to regain that magic.

After Microsoft lost it's pedestal, it didn't go anywhere remarkable until Nadella's big cloud services push, where they have changed up quite a bit and reentered the marketplace in a big way.

There may just be a point a company becomes too large to ever completely die, since they have enough cash to spend decades looking for a way to revitalize themselves. Though I say that as we've seen former giants like Sears be brought to the brink of death.
No, the browser cancels the download if it has the assets before they download.
I did get the 8, because I was moving up from a 5. I had pretty poor battery life on the 5 somehow - it would drop to 1% from 20-30% instantly! And performance was manageable but not great with the latest iOS version and apps (like Google Meet which is needed for work).

Overall, I went for the 8 believing it will have good overall standing in the long run, in terms of performance and battery life, as opposed to the 7.
It took two things. One, playing every single day. Two, having a continuous stream of new music to learn. I did this by joining a local church's band who needed someone to conquer some solo passages. It's a great way to learn music and give back.

If you don't think it's going to work you avoid it completely.

If you've been conned they've persuaded you that it's definitely going to work, a which point you think you'll save time and money if you get both done at once.

You can walk through the "help wizard", or click "list" link in topnav to see all of the known instances.

EDIT: I failed to mention, that you should not feel like joining one instance excludes you from the greater federation of networks...you can join one instance and follow people from anywhere else. And, if you begin to dislike the instance that you joined, simply move to another one...or even better - though a tad more work for you - set up your own personal instance, do whatever you want, and still be able to follow anyone on any other instance.
I need about fifteen seconds of quality time with an unlocked computer before it belongs to me. Devices like the USB Rubber Ducky ( https://hakshop.com/products/usb-rubber-ducky-deluxe ) make it trivial to compromise unlocked systems within seconds. Stealing info can then be done at your leisure, from anywhere you have internet access.

Just because she skipped over some unimportant parts of the story doesn't mean she didn't have plenty of time after being shown around the building to accomplish her objectives. She does address this, too:

> I took FOREVER looking around this office space, and eventually they said their goodbyes because they had to go back to work. They had a strict policy of escorting visitors. But I had been seen walking around with trusted insiders so no one questioned me.

> I was free to take my time. I made myself at home. My main objective at this site was to weasel my way into private corner offices.
With NoScript installed in default deny JS mode, the gifs do not appear at all, only blank white boxes where they would have been. In this case NoScript made for a distraction free reading experience.
Wikipedia predates NoSQL. It runs on PHP + MySQL because that's what was most popular back in 2001, and they have no intrest in completely rewriting their entire stack just to use Cassandra or MongoDB. That doesn't mean a NoSQL data store wouldn't work extremely well for the type of application that Wikipedia is.
I hope that this will be covered by "Expanded Definition of Spam and Related Behaviors". In fact, I hope for major action on that front because I feel like it's a force multiplier for all of the other guidelines that they're pushing on, and it's one place where they could end up marking down their activity metrics greatly, to the detriment of their revenue and stock price.

Is a setup like that legal in Finland? Although highly effective from a security standpoint, I can't see a setup like that ever being allowed under US fire codes.
Before we pop the champagne, note that we still have minimal PIN penetration in the US, even with EMV cards, and it's up to the merchant to decide whether or not to require the signature. Legalities could mean that merchants feel safer still requiring a signature, so until PIN comes through everywhere (or alternative auth/verification/etc. approaches), we may not get the ease we are hoping for immediately.
The first chapter, on abstraction and information hiding, is probably the most important. Every programmer should know how to do it. It's one of C's main strengths that it allows abstract data types so easily. ADTs in fact allow better binary compatibility since you only expose pointers as your public API, not structures of different shapes and sizes.

I'm continually surprised by how often people insist on putting struct definitions right in their header files, defeating the whole idea of type abstraction.
> Or a pedant could note that the JSON spec doesn't actually say whether any of the digits in a number are considered to carry information

RFC 7159 not only specifies that all of the digits carry information, it specified exactly what information they carry.

However, it also expressly permits implementations to limit the range and precision of numbers accepted, recommending (but not requiring) range and precision at least equivalent to IEEE 754 float64 be supported.
The page is awkwardly sexist.. but that would be a pretty close to an awesome integrated numpad design for programmers.
You used the term "first responders" a post or two up. Police are often the "first responders" to numerous incidents, enforcement or otherwise, simply because they are near the scene and are (rightfully) trained in basic first aid and generally have first aid supplies in their cruiser. Police _should_ be trained to and respond to incidents other than enforcement actions. They are members of our communities, they are employed to protect us (ostensibly).

It is generally the idea that all police do or should do is enforce the law that leads to divisiveness and brutality.
Holy crap! Thanks!

That's insane. I'm not a gamer but it looks like they just published how to "hack" the console and they were hit with that. That's crazy. In the span of a minute, I can think of a dozen better solutions to this.

If I'm reading properly, they didn't even do anything that I'd call wrong. They found an exploit and published it. I suppose the DMCA and "circumvention tools" come into play - but that only points to the absurdity of the situation (at least in my opinion).
Canada as well. We transitioned later than the EU, the big push started in the late 2000s and they just recently finished the last of the liability shifts to the merchant (some gas pumps got an extension since they were more expensive to upgrade). Aside from BC Ferries, I haven't had anyone swipe my card in years, and most transactions are contactless.

ipv6buddy you are sexist!
Physical access to a device usually allows you to get full control, or at least be able to 'wiretap' its network packets.

Lots of fun little devices to screen capture or keylog allow an attacker to get credentials and harvest secure information. Many of these devices have wireless capabilities now, so you only need to enter facility once to plant it, and then you can download the capture from outside the building. Very few companies can prevent attacks when the attacker has valid credentials.

Once you're inside a network, you're past all of the perimeter defenses, and most companies have tons of secure information flying around. Mimikatz and responder are devastating for most Windows networks: grab the credentials, use them to pivot or get more info to grab more credentials, repeat until you get an it admin account, and you've got the keys to the castle.
What's sexist? The photos?
You can install Linux distributions and run them in Windows from Microsoft's own store. The bulk of .NET is open source. VSCode is pretty good. No one seems worried Microsoft will suddenly shut Azure down or lock non-Windows operating systems out. They did a lot of work to make git work on huge, complicated projects (for Windows) and shared it. (https://github.com/Microsoft/git)

Meanwhile, Google is...well, where are they? They never did give us that Linux Google Drive client they promised. They announce products then shut them down, so no one can really trust their products. Even the ones we had before Google lost its way (I miss Reader's trends feature). Aside from whoever's on the Takeout team, Google seems to have stopped caring about sharing and working with others.

gruber didn't "invent" markdown.

he took the idea from dean allen,
who had created "textile"
(which was featured in the
movabletype blogging-system gruber used).

gruber reworked that idea slightly,
then released it with a catchy name,
and somehow received all the credit.

as for gruber's blog, i would say
it is evenhanded and informative,
albeit focused on apple and its products.
the blog is certainly not "fawning",
and i think most apple-buyers feel
no need to "justify" their purchases.
Uhh, that's like saying a CPU is not sold if intel includes it in a computer that was sold. Aka, this was large scale production to feed animals that where then consumed.

So, by any reasonable definition this was commercial wheat production. Now, if he was farming wheat because he liked how wheat fields looked then never used or harvested that wheat for anything you might have a point.

PS: It's a common standpoint that you can't get around laws by this kind of nominal rule bending. AKA, we are a non profit, so the commerce clause must not apply as we are non commercial enterprise.

I actually managed to load all CSVs into a postgres database. I have one database now with 5 tables that contain all the information. Now the tricky part is doing the restructure, stripping out unneeded columns, some if statements to choose the correct column to use, connecting the relationships, and redoing the IDs and making that as painless as possible (hopefully a query I can repeat) since I'll likely have a new fresh batch of data coming in a month.

All together the CSVs totaled 750MBs.
