Indeed, the dishwasher is the first appliance that I'd be willing to give up, especially if the space were occupied by a well designed drying rack with drain. I guess I could use the dishwasher for that purpose, and not run it.

From what I could gather, pacemakers contain up to 4 curies of Pu-238 which is less than 300mg of pure metal. Enough to poison a few people but nowhere near enough to create WMD considering the effort. Industrial radiation sources, in contrast, typically contains tens and sometimes hundreds of curies of mostly undecayed cobalt or iridium isotopes, and is usually much less guarded.
It's quite remarkable the sacrifices that were made for the sake of increasing cranium size. Childbirth became a coin-flip for whether the child and mother even survive the ordeal, infants are born completely helpless for the first few months of life. It goes to show just how critical intelligence was for the survival of our species.

I don't think these kind of coding interviews are given to average programmers though, and if they are I'm sure they are taken with a pinch of salt (or with a lot of help from the recruiter, or using simple tasks such as FizzBuzz [1]).

In my experience, having been an average programmer (and maybe still being, I hope that by now I'm at least slightly above average) who worked in The Netherlands at a "system integrator", a web dev "sweat shop" (some projects using 10 year old tech, relatively high staff turnover) and even a startup, such companies don't ask for whiteboard coding, however take home projects are quite common.

I also interviewed at some more "hot" unicorns in Japan, which do have these kind of questions (using a dehumanizing online test in fact).

I’m not the OP, but there are a few options. First, there is the space all your dishes take up. If you have another dishwasher, then they don’t fill up your cabinets, so net net, it’s the same amount of space.

Secondly, there are drawer-typ dishwashers made specifically for this. They are way overpriced, but are really useful and pretty darn small. One or two of those and you really don’t need to put dishes away anymore.

I can only encourage people to vote with their wallets on this. I moved my domain registry to AWS over a similar situation, after evaluating several alternative registrars and not finding MFA. I would certainly do so with DNS.

Much like Microsoft's security push around Windows XP SP1 - security will become important to these companies when it impacts revenue.

I will say that VR was kind of absent last year and was absolutely everywhere this year. It still feels like we need a couple of years before the VR stuff is fully baked though.
Ah thanks. I found the page earlier but shame on me for not reading all of it.
There’s an easy way to cut down on laundry - wear your clothes multiple times between cleanings.... honestly I usually wear jeans 2-3 days between washes. Everything else is single day only... except when I go backpacking and then wear the same thing for a week straight. The smell is... complex.
Sounds like a way to scald someone with a hack.

There was a self-filling bathtube that I could program directly from the kitchen.

> Well they exist and they list on airbnb.

My whole point is they won't anymore in SF after this policy goes into full effect.

Unless it's something like a hotel or real bed and breakfast (the article explains these exemptions), only primary residents are allowed to list short term rentals (this legislation was put into place to prevent investors from buying up places just to put on AirBnB). It's illegal for the building owner to put up short term (i.e. < 30 days) rentals for multiple units in a building zoned for apartments or condos.

My point is that almost all large, multi-tenant buildings prevent their residents from doing short term rentals through subleases (or, if it's a condo building, in their HOA rules).
Don't overlook that first paragraph, fluoroquinolones are some of the most dangerous antibiotics available, but prescribed for common infections (which they shouldn't be). Fluoroquinolones kill most human gut bacteria (irreversibly) except c.diff, leading to overgrowth.
I wonder if Japan had higher c.diff rates before global use since trehalose was common there first.

The API let's you take positions on both sides with a single account, or prevent yourself from self-trades by setting a flag.

EDIT: Nvm, the flag just specifies what the behavior is in the event that the system encounters a self-trade: decrement and cancel, cancel resting, cancel incoming, cancel both.
Out of curiosity, aside from the obvious disadvantages you mentioned, what advantages does it bring to the table? Long-time casual user of Aseprite. To be honest, I never knew it was open source until just now, I actually own a couple copies.
Chaos theory doesn't imply randomness, it implies unpredictability. Hyper sensitivity to initial conditions means you can't reliably predict the exact outcome, because it's impossible to observe all the relevant initial conditions accurately enough. I can't, for example, predict the trajectory of a actual double-rod pendulum except at fairly short time intervals even though the governing equations are known, because practically I cannot measure the initial conditions precisely enough. I would argue that even if you could write a master equation to predict human behavior perfectly it'd likely either be so sensitive to initial conditions it'd be useless or have so many initial conditions that you wouldn't be able to determine them all.

I guess I'm not super expert on QM or some of its different interpretations, but from our point of view there's not a whole lot of difference between multiple universes and actual randomness is there?
The idea of screening for a software engineering gene is patently absurd. In an ideal scenario, we screen for the ability to do the work the job requires. In the normal scenario, we screen for some mix of that and the ability to apply cookie-cutter techniques to (hopefully) novel problems in the space of ~45 minutes. Some companies also ask you to do a sample practical problem either on site or on your own time. None of this indicates anything about someone's "innate genetic talent", if there is any such thing.
True, but the HQ will go somewhere, right? In fact retail will probably do pretty well near wherever the campus is built.

Haha ... or more than a million!!

One thing I like about CES are the frank conversations with engineers. This year, I reached out to a few people. Had a very nice conversation with Karl Guttag (he has an optics blog http://www.kguttag.com/). I'm a newb in this area but had burning questions for a while .. he very patiently explained optics 101 and some of the implications. Very nice guy in person.

I also spoke to/saw engineering demos at the TI booth in LVCC, AMD and ARM booths at the Venetian/Sands, NXP and Qualcomm at LVCC. They have some private demos that are by appt only but usually let you in if you ask politely. I just went up and said I would like to know more about X or Y. Is there an engineer who can help me?

I also missed Kopin and Vuzix. Time was short and I could not find them :/
California's state tax is no longer deductible on federal level so there's that. Looks to me that the only people not seeing any benefit out of the tax bill is us Californians and ny'ers
Not only are the bacteria more likely to survive, they release more toxins when they are using trehalose. This might be a defensive mechanism based on the evolved assumption that presence of trehalose indicates the presence of competing hostile bacterial colonies.
How Dirt Could Save Humanity from an Infectious Apocalypse
Sibling comment covers most of it. I would add that, for installation, the body tube of a cheap Bic-type stick pen makes a handy tool of just the right diameter to press the spacer into place at the base of the keycap stem - still a little fiddly, but much quicker than any other way I've found.
40 years ago, my mom took a one credit course in undergrad for her cs degree that was on resume writing, interviewing, and negotiation. Is this so different?

> Sebastian Tomczak, an electronic musician from Australia, uploaded a ten-hour white-noise video to YouTube, and was promptly walloped with five infringement claims. YouTube’s automated Content ID system scans all uploaded videos against a database of copyrighted material; any overlapping content is flagged. When a supposed infringement is detected, the copyright owner can either have the video removed, or allow it to remain, and automatically garnish any advertising revenue that it might generate.

This kind of IP shenanigans is going to continue for as long as the burden of proof is on the party doing the "infringing." YouTube and platforms like it are built with this inherent bias toward copyright holders, despite the absurd frequency of false positives. On one hand, I can see how this might protect, say, indie film studios who don't have the resources to chase after everyone who posts their movies on YouTube illegally. At the same time, when a system's incentives result in bullshit like Fair Use protections being completely ignored[0], it's time for a new system.

Mammoth, centralized systems like YouTube are, unfortunately, still Really Hard to maintain without the backing of a proportionately mammoth company with lots of resources. You can be sure that that company's interest will often align with those of others with deep pockets. So in my mind, as with many of the big problems on today's internet, the technical aspect of this challenge really stems from centralization itself.

I think it's rather silly to "prepare" for an interview, but IMHO what they expect at Google/Facebook/Amazon/Microsoft is not something you should really need to prepare for if you took the time to really understand the algorithms and general techniques you study as a CS undergrad.

Rehearsing at a relaxed pace over a single weekend should be more than enough, particularly to get used to discuss your ideas and using a whiteboard.
Agree. Capa had what Cartier-Bresson or Weedgee had. You can't bottle it, its either there or it isn't
They should just keep it simple, convert large intersections to massive round a-bouts.
No problem. The key is choosing "Limit Order" and checking the "Post Only" box under "Advanced". That will prevent your order from turning into a taker order if you accidentally set the Limit Price too high when buying/too low when selling.

> But being serious another nutrient you could take is Turmeric/Curcumin as an anti-rad supplement. However it isn't easily absorbed.

You need to take black pepper with it for absorption of Curcumin. Some of the curcumin supplements already have piperine for absorption, so there is no need to make artificial delivery mechanisms for Turmeric off of Amazon. Plus, the amount in Tumeric is very low compared to just purchasing the supplement with piperine in it. You'd spend all your emergency cash making some drug delivery system that wouldn't deliver much of anything.
Humans are effectively marsupials, we just don't have a pouch.

I remember, back in the heydey of the Discovery channel having real science programming, a Wild Discovery[1] about guanacos in the Andes. Within an hour, the baby guanaco was birthed, licked clean of placenta, and on it's feet scrambling unsteadily up 14k foot mountains after it's mother.

Solly Zuckerman's work (O/R I thing) on the efficacy of bombing, and how it was politically expedient to supress or white-ant it is worth reflecting on (its in his biography "From Apes to Warlords")

That's about 25% of the US population. Those of us raising families do quite a lot of labour every day, at least while the kids are small.

A quick mental estimate says daily dishes for family of 4, 2 of whom are preschoolers, is about 12X my singleton workload. Also laundry every day at least one load, maybe two.
What about the independents and the start-ups? No great options exist for them.
Chinos are fine with 2-3 days of wear between washes, jeans should be fine with a lot more. Unless you're a really sweaty person.
The metaphor is backward actually. The Nazis transitioned to gassing and extermination camps because the leadership saw first hand the psychological problems of having ordinary people commit mass murder, not because it was cheap. It was probably far more expensive. Think of all the war time train and supply usage.

> During a visit to Minsk in August 1941, Himmler witnessed an Einsatzgruppen mass execution first-hand and concluded that shooting Jews was too stressful for his men. By November he made arrangements for any SS men suffering ill health from having participated in executions to be provided with rest and mental health care. He also decided a transition should be made to gassing the victims, especially the women and children, and ordered the recruitment of expendable native auxiliaries who could assist with the murders. Gas vans, which had been used previously to kill mental patients, began to see service by all four main Einsatzgruppen from 1942. However, the gas vans were not popular with the Einsatzkommandos, because removing the dead bodies from the van and burying them was a horrible ordeal. Prisoners or auxiliaries were often assigned to do this task so as to spare the SS men the trauma.

I completely agree. Every time I start a job search I dust off my copy of "Cracking the Coding Interview", do a half dozen problems on HackerRank and I'm good to go. Sure, it's not exactly the skillset a professional software engineer needs -- but if you're a professional software engineer it really shouldn't be that hard.
That has real promise. Sounds like they just need brighter lights or a variable high contrast background to the sensors.
Well, limit your ability to speak in private then? That only makes it even more of a constitutional headache!? Freedom of speech is not something that is limited to the public space, but rather public space is where there is most limitation to what you you can say, simply because of the greater potential impact, private speech is way more protected (including things like privacy of mail and telecommunication).

I mean, not that I agree, this law is obviously targeted towards public speech, but I still wonder why you think targeting private speech would make it less of a problem?!

Public speech (the legal concept) does not require that you have an audience of millions, it simply means that you are speaking to an audience of people who are not in some way personal acquaintances.
I'm finding myself reflecting on the belief that the MIT/Harvard experience suggests you need a curve of capability, accepting only geniuses into college doesn't work out as well as you'd hope.

I suspect that a future immigration policy based of a belief there is a single-line merit measure is going to have huge flaws. The more merit signals you adopt, the more likely it is you add complexity which is net cost, compared to a reasonably open-door policy.

The problem (I think) is that people equate economic efficiency with socially just and equitable outcomes. The former (which is where merit is driving) doesn't actually deliver the latter.
I've read that the fisher paykel dishwashers have a lot of reliability problems compared to normal dishwashers unfortunately.
You guys are killing me. After downloading twenty-some git repos(?) as dependencies (most of which my system already has), this (I’ll try to quit complaining about this better mousetrap now):

If you’re using logind, this isn’t a problem – if the screenlocker dies, it will be restarted up to 3 times (without revealing screen content), and if it is killed yet once more, your screen just won’t unlock (you can then unlock via a tty by logging into that and using loginctl session-unlock).

If the daemon responsible for this is killed, all your sessions will simply be killed.

In no situation will your screen unlock due to a process being killed (in contrast to the pre-logind world, where, if the screenlocker dies, your screen is free for all, as there the locker is just a fullscreen window)
Experientally, learning to code in constrained systems and with constrained tools does (ren)force a lot more pre-checks before execution, because the cost of failure is higher on your process.

A lot of the language around "why functional programming" goes to the same space. Strongly typed, functional solutions expose problems during code development which avoid runtime problems from sloppy thinking.

I also think simpler is good. So, coding discipline which favour simple techniques (within limits, this is not one dimensional) are good. If you have to exploit a very complex mechanism, the old world old school method was to look in the NAG library for a well written solution (presuming numeric problems, which predominated then) -and now, we do much the same: look for a solution in your language compatible runtime library space, which is a well trodden path.
In many cases, this isn’t people renting out unused inventory. It’s landlords taking their apartments out of circulation for long-term tenants in order to rent to short-term tenants on AirBnB. Think about it - an Airbnb listing has to be furnished, so the landlord has to make a decent investment in order to put such a listing on the market. It’s not like they’re furnishing apartments in between tenants moving in/out to get a few night’s rent.

This is also really unfriendly to tenants, you now have a bunch of strangers traipsing through the hallways with no relationship or accountability to the neighbors.
Tru dat. I just left my oldest's room, everyone is asleep... walked right past the dishes to get to the computer....
To your first point not really. If guess you could stack 2-3x as many dishes in a cabinet that takes up the same space as a dishwasher because you could arrange them to take up much less space. It doesn't take many plates and bowls to fill a dishwasher but that same amount wouldn't take up half the cabinet.

But you could probably also get by with less.
Another instance of this is if you managed to build a business around a particularly profitable contract or set of contracts, the nature of which requires you to regularly post maintenance transactions of some sort.

If you get big enough and profitable enough, the miners will have an incentive to specifically refuse to include your maintenance transactions unless you include a large transaction fee - in other words, market segmentation for transactions.
> Self recognition is a complex activity that isn’t dictated through a simple instinct

Source? If anything, this finding increases the odds that self-recognition might be a genetically primed (or even pre-programmed) neuronal circuit.
Agreed, in most situations.

One counter example:

If your processes in sum tend to
A) access many disk locations, at large total disk space
B) hold a lot of underused data in ram

This isn't totally impossible. Maybe an Ethereum node with a script doing a bunch of data reads, running side by side with hundreds of Chrome tabs, few of which are regularly accessed. (Totally hypothetical, of course...)

Swapping some rarely used ram out so the OS can buffer disk into ram seems like a reasonable approach (although maybe even more reasonable is: close some tabs).

Your point still stands that more ram is strictly as good or better performance in this scenario, but you might be able to get an equivalent performance boost much more cheaply with some swap space for the underused ram. Also, upgrading past 32 GB ram starts to veer from expensive to impossible on a laptop.
Because the criminal mind, as I had learned in psych., has a very inflated sense of entitlement and views opportunities as how to take advantage of others. Now you might rightly reply, "America has a mass over-incarceration problem. Not everyone in prison has those psychopathic tendencies". Even if we grant that for the sake of argument, and assumed that people in the general population of never-incarcerated fail to fully appreciate their freedom and lack of a record, I would still expect the significant number of ex-felons in the former group to bring down that population's aggregate measure in "employer's best hires" well below that of the general population. I'd also ask about the traumatic effects being in a prison itself might have on the psychological well-being so-called targets of an unjust incarceration system who don't belong there.

Again, I'm sure there's a profile of the reformed convict who's learned to value every breath of life of freedom with appreciation and gratitude. I'm just not convinced this is the norm to the extent that they'd typically outstrip employees who did not go through the system.

That's why it's counterintuitive to me. Now I'm ready to say I've been all wrong about this. But I want to see data.
