The only way I could see that scenario could ever occur is if the candidate outright lied on his resume. A quick solution is to check references (call the school said person graduated from, call references, call references via their company line, etc).

Sounds like the interviewer didn't bother checking references.
I thought this was a joke, but it turns out to be true. This is the world we live in.
I started reading that thinking that that's a much more complex adaptation than I'd expect to see differentiating different groups of humans, given how recent a population bottleneck our species went through. But apparently it's just a single gene mutation that can increase spleen size? Genes are weird, man.
The understanding of evolution in the title of this article is appalling... They didn't evolve large spleens so they could dive.. they dove a lot which resulted in selection bias which resulted in larger spleens...
I know I was just pitching for a customer level add-on and not a factory level one. There's also the exhaust pipe which has high temp gas in. I can't find it again sadly but I found a japanese lab who made thermoelectric pipes with not too poor efficiency (aimed at building water pipes but probably workable for vehicles).
Well, yeah, the advantage he has is all the accessible knowledge available via the internet. He would have done hours upon hours of research before embarking upon experiments that took humans thousands of years to discover and develop. It's still bloody cool!
> This is just a list of the usual gripes about academia. It applies to almost every subject.

I don't think he's talking about professorships, just research positions in general. My institution is ranked about 50th in the world in computer science. And basically all of our PhD graduates can get good research positions.

There are PhD research subjects and then there are PhD research subjects.

Does anyone know what are the exact materials used? I'm so used to concrete/bricks/blocks around the area where I live, that this makes me wonder whether it will bear against a stronger winter (while I know the video was filmed in the winter) or wind. Can someone share their experiences with this type of a house? Also, are all houses in the states built like this?

Heh good point. It's mentally more pleasuring in timelapse where every steps only takes half a second instead of 10.
I live in a state where the largest employers are US government projects. The have and have nots are separated by their distance to those projects. There is tourism here and other non governmental industries but none can come near them in size. The resource allocation system within the market works with government being the main source of employment. Why? Because the government has monopoly rights on making markets.

Ask not where the money comes from. Ask who else could make the market with the government maintaining exclusive rights to the currency.
It took them a while. Isn't it too late?
Definitely, this project is basically the Great Seal Bug but for photodiodes. The authors even mention the Great Seal bug in their paper.
Building houses with concrete is quite a skilled job involving a lot of labour putting together the custom forms. I suspect in higher wage countries it becomes more prohibitive as a building method. Certainly it's very rarely used in the UK for residential building. Timber lends itself well to building insulated structures. I guess nothing is stopping people building a bunker if they're worried about building something tornado-resistant and they dont mind spending more.

I believe exterior timber was banned in London after the fire of 1666, and in many other towns not so long after that. A brick skin just gives you much more time to stop a fire from spreading. Even when the exterior walls are load-bearing brick, a lot of internal structure may still be in wood.

Summarize in your own words (and drawings) without looking into the textbook. Even better, explain to someone else what you have learned. Best would be to find a study partner, if that's not possible try to write for the public.

Learning occurs when we relate new material to what we already know. Build your own internal knowledge map.

PHP (and javascript to an extent) is a very mainstream programming language with a low barrier for entry, and isn't associated with academia, engineering or intellectual cachet. PHP is a 'lowbrow' language, and a lot of people on Hacker News want to status signal as 'highbrow', so they act like hipster elitists towards it.

Some people stopped using PHP years ago and either aren't aware, or don't care, that it like other languages has evolved and improved over time.

Some people don't like its inconsistent syntax and weird edge cases and... yeah, fair enough. Some people want a cathedral and find PHP a bit too bazaar.

My opinion - use PHP if you want to, don't use it if you don't, but being emotionally invested in negativity towards a programming language is silly either way.
Why didn't you check references? I mean wouldn't you consider it a failure that you got a candidate to the interview table that was so bad? Assuming you aren't making it up, the guy was obviously lying on his resume, that could have easily been solved by checking his references.

The problem for folks below that tier is that the ecosystem for AMD is terrible.

On the software side, basic tools like numatop don't work on epyc. That's because the the equivalent of the Intel uncore counters that measure infinity fabric (AMD's new Hyper Transport, like Intel's QPI) are not available. Perhaps the big three have the time to do these tools themselves, and the NDAs in place to get access to the counters. Since even their single socket offering has up to 4 numa domains, getting access to these counters is pretty important.

There is also a limited selection of motherboard offerings from just a few vendors. This won't impact some of the cloud providers (who do their own board design), but for the rest of us, it is a pain. We've had an epyc we've been testing. I'm its biggest fan, but the motherboard is terrible in an enterprise setting. Just this week I updated the BIOS on it to get the new AGESA. Unlike our Intel / Supermicro boards, the BIOS update wiped all the settings. Earlier BIOS updates have required a physical (at the wall) power cycle, rather than a remote ipmi chassis power cycle.

Which malicious actions by telegram? Providing their customers with private communication not eavesdropped by the russian government?
A government linked with the murder of political oposition personalities?
If the Russian government decided to ban Amazon and make law abiding Russian businesses suffer the responsibility lays on the Russian government,not Amazon. I personally think that if Amazon would ban telegram and succumb to the heavy handed Russian policy it'll hurt the law abiding Russian citizen ability to express any dissatisfaction with their government and decisions. This would directly lead to a government that governs for the sake of its own existance and not for the betterment of its citizens. How could it if it doesn't allow the citizens to express their wishes and plights?
But that is an internal Russian issue which I believe the Russians should deal with however they like.
My interest in Amazon not succumbing is the effect it'll have around the world. I would not like my government to get such ideas because it directly affects my rights.

The Stepan_Company is one the only commercial entity in the US authorized by the DEA to import coca leaves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Company

Apparently the cocaine-free leaves are sold to Coca-Cola. while the cocaine is sold to Mallinckrodt (Pharma).

This seems pretty shady to me.. The most addicting and widely popular drink that will and has always been the biggest is also the only soda that has permission to put some kind of secret extract into their drinks..

I really wonder what quantity of this extract is in coca cola, and whether this is for taste, or for the psychological effect like caffeine.

I'm not trying to say there's coke in coca cola, but it think it's funny that while their brand has been marketed as 'Coca-Cola' for so long. Why do they still give kids a can in their hand that they are going to drink out of.. literally with the words COKE on it.
Why do they still put on the can?
Cola recipes normally include nutmeg, so yes.
I sympathize with the consistency of a "pure universal" approach to policy, but like many purist policy philosophies, I don't think it would survive rigorous implementation.

For so many reasons. Chief among them, maybe, people are generally reluctant to support governments engaged in transfers of resources from themselves to billionaires.

At the top levels, it's a lot more about where those units/buildings are than whether they exist. You know they're going to be mining and spending efficiently, so just seeing the number of workers gives you a very good idea of how much other stuff they have. Pros also check to see what technologies are being researched (buildings have a different animation while researching).

You can't get much more scouting than that because there is a cost associated with scouting, either because you lose a worker's time or because you spread out your army.

> The extreme right is deeply racist/homophobic/sexist, denies science, advocates for a theocracy and for the shutting down of government services to the extent that millions of people will die.

Would you like me to point you to the videos of extreme left protests assaulting professors on campuses for wanting to host an open debate on topics they find offensive? Or videos on extreme left protestors trying to shut down any scientific discussion that raises the fact of differences between men and women.

I can also show you the recent amendments to the Ontario law in which it is now illegal to not use non-gendered pronouns. I'm sure you've heard of Peterson and his crusade, and while he's got some kooky views on some matters, he's not entirely wrong about the dangers of our human rights tribunals and how they will apply this law (see the Lindsay Shepherd incident where they already tried to censor an academic discussion on this issue).

I can also show you plenty of instances of organized campaigns to harass, disrupt and ruin people's lives for off-hand comments made online.

Sorry, but it's no longer a false equivalence. The extreme left has become just as extreme, just as anti-science, and just as dangerous as the extreme right. Note that we're not talking about ordinary leftist/liberal policies of social programs, and such, we're talking extreme left that, for instance, denies even the existence of gender and for whom denying this fact simply makes you an evil tyrant that they seek to literally ruin.

I agree. Writing spacecraft simulation software you use a lot of 3D math as well: matrix math, euler angles, quaternions, etc (being thrown into writing a simulation model for an attitude determination and control system with no prior exposure to orbital mechanics was great fun). Didn't have to become an expert (we had PhDs on staff for that), but had to gain an understanding of the basic concepts in order to get the job done.

I've also worked on some signal analysis stuff -- had to learn about FFTs and basic filtering (band-pass filters, etc.) -- it's all math. But had books and the internet to look up those algorithms.

I have several books on my bookshelf for these things, including an old copy of "Numerical Recipes in C" :)

Essential Craftsman

It is called Stick Frame construction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framing_(construction) and is the default construction method in the US in areas without much seismic activity and fewer termites. It is a modular system where you can buy all the materials needed ready-made at big box stores like HomeDepot, Lowes or Menards. Professional builders get better prices at their lumber yard. It is very DIY friendly, and if you want to change something (build an addition, change the floor plan, etc.), it is easy to do without getting the sledgehammer out to destroy brick/concrete walls. The standard wall size has enough space to put insulation in the cavities, although it is not much. Building codes require at least R13 in colder areas, but that depends on the areas the house is build. You can build with more cavity space and have superinsulated outer walls that are good enough to qualify for an energy efficient rating like "Passivhouse".

Easily done if you don't care which way the transaction goes!
If you are a programmer, you can tell; just ask them about their previous projects. Dig into their answers and ask follow up questions. What data structure did you use to do this part? What in the database was designed poorly and why? (Every database has a design issue).

I mean if you were at a party and some guy came up to you chatting, claiming to be a senior whatever at BigTechCo, you'd start chatting him up and you could tell if he was full of BS pretty quickly.
