Great question; I can’t think of a single, general theme as they are all over the map. Attendance, competence, intelligence, collaboration, work ethic/drive, judgment, inability to follow process, you name it.

Of the success cases, I think a common/typical unifying thread was lack of good, nearby leadership (team/squad lead or even a “buddy/onboarding mentor”) intersecting with someone who wasn’t already competent, curious, and self-motivated. I view those successes as (at least partially) leadership failures that we corrected alongside the employee. This framing is both generally accurate, but importantly, also removes the “stain” for future reviews and promotions. We truly do “put it behind us.” Anything less would be terrifically unfair. We have ex-PIPers get promoted, go on to lead teams/projects, etc.

> What if the request is always sent from the same location?

Then you may get the same IP.

> What if when the user moves location, e.g., from one country to another, she updates her stored IP addresses?

It doesn't have to be a different country. Different ISPs with different peering may get different results. Moving between your home wifi and you phone tethering may get different results. So depending on your usage style, it's between "change multiple times a day" and "no change".

> Personal experience as a user is that when it is an "intended" change, the previous IP address no longer hosts the content.

In some cases I'm sure it's true. In others, it isn't. Basically it's not a reliable indicator.

> If this was a BGP hijack, why did the hijackers target the IP addresses of DNS servers, rather than the target IP addresses of the websites?

Haven't seen the site's announced block, but it's possible that it's announced as /24 block. This attack was possible because Amazon announced /23 and the attacker could announce something more specific.

This is under the assumption that CAs fail closed when they encounter DNSSEC errors (which, by some interpretations, is mandatory according to the Baseline Requirements).

Merely hijacking the authoritative DNS for a domain does not defeat DNSSEC, which chains from the root to TLDs to registered domains. In other words, and assuming all CAs are perfect w.r.t DNSSEC, you cannot spoof a "No CAA record here" response for a DNSSEC-enabled domain merely by hijacking the authoritative DNS or a resolver.

The TLS WG is currently haggling about, effectively, DANE's future. The thing up in the air was, should this technology for saying "Hi, I can do DANE" be pinned? e.g. a client sees "I can do DANE" and it says to itself "OK, I will now expect DANE certificates from this TLS service for... 24 hours? 10 minutes? 10 years? An amount of time defined in some new parameter?" Or maybe it never does this. Last I looked at the thread, it seemed like "Never do this, make yet another TLS extension to specify if you want pinning" is the choice of the working group.

(The reason this isn't an application header like HSTS is that DANE advocates want to bake this into TLS itself, so that it works without needing new application features in every single TLS-using application)

Interviewer: "To see how you might approach it."

It's a synthetic interview question. Why does it suddenly need to be a production-ready CSV parser?

We don't have enough information to say whether these are bad interview questions, and it's really not the point.

Maybe the interviewer just wanted to see if you'd use good fd hygiene (`with open('file.txt') as f:`) and that you can stub out some toy parser code and speak of it intelligently. And that you wouldn't throw a fit when asked to write some code that a library like `npm install fizzbuzz` can already solve.
I don't exactly see a crisis of confidence. This just seems to be the first time this kid has bumped up against the real world. We were all young and naive once and sooner or later got a gut punch or two from the universe. Some people take whatever they get and use it to reinforce their world view. This person seems to have used a new realization to adjust their world view. Maybe their a little older than normal to be groking this for the first time but that's no reason to condescend.
Would you want to be the CEO of a large corporation? The money is great, which everyone who isn't a CEO always seems to want to complain about, but there is very little work-life balance there, and a huge amount of pressure. And you still have a boss, in the form of the board, and very aggressive, possibly unrealistic milestones to hit. And thousands of employees depending on your decisions, along with many millions of shareholders directly and indirectly via their retirement plans.

To misquote Upton Sinclair you can’t get a scientist to understand statistics when their job depends on misunderstanding statistics.

Yes, but under such a scheme, once I’ve wrestled control back of DNS, your ability to use those ill-gotten certs is reduced/eliminated.

Today, if I got a basic cert for your domain by temporarily hijacking DNS, I can later use it to MITM you even without DNS poisoning/takeover.

referral to help those who have a very low credit score and would like to increase their score, should please reach out to Franklin Houser, he is a tech

expert and bitcoin miner, he is a brother, husband and friend, if you have issues and want to clear any discrepancies on your credit report, he would come through for

you. i ahd an increase of 400 points by taking me to 825. he has been doing this for 9years and has undefined knowledge, who else better to come through for you than

someone knows the system.
He delivers. His Prices are quite expensive, but for the job, very worth it. and he always hits the bullseye on each contract carried out.

I admit, I also felt the characterization of people in the second half was upsetting, but more upsetting to me was the enormous loss of diversity, and I thought that somewhat explained the relations. These people aren't humans as we know them, they are walking scientific caricatures of them come to life. From that, I didn't really feel it was a statement about "people" per-se, as much as it was a way for him to manipulate the situation in a way where he could make wild predictions about millennia in the future while skirting reality fairly loosely. All quirks and weirdness can basically be explained as "see situation".

They will probably stress this to you before you begin the interview, but in case they don't -- one of the things they really check for is that you to ask many clarifying questions.

If you're given a problem, don't start solving it immediately -- instead, ask about what kind of input (integers or strings or something else), ask about limitations on the input (could be people's ages or student numbers), ask if there is a certain way they would like you to handle a specific edge case, and anything else you can think of.

They want to see that you are going to try and fully understand a problem before starting to write a solution.

You're welcome to reach out if you have any specific questions. Good luck!
If a feature is working in reverse it's probably a bug though- it might be intended to force independent thinking, but in reality all it does is serve as a gameable goalpost, no thought required.

Most people were dying from disease (esp in infancy) for most of history, not sure having another war will help there. And I can't tell what's more horrifying, suggesting that we should start some more wars to kill people or suggesting that we should bring back some plagues.

Also while I agree that it's harder to find glory in modern times, and there definitely should be a better outlet for that need, I think war has changed so significantly due to technological advances that people wouldn't find much glory lobbing bombs from a UAV piloting center.

The days of finding glory on the battlefield are probably as distant as the days of 90% of people working as farmers to produce food for themselves.
That's a problematic metric as well because we don't know how much area the assist circuit takes up. Modern high-density SRAM cells cannot operate as is, they need an assist circuit to compensate for variations. For example for Intel's 10nm SRAM, they claim 77% area effiency (https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/525/iedm-2017-isscc-2018-inte...). But without those values, just bits/mm2 or so is problematic.

> I thought this would be a really good way to interview coders, but unfortunately I am totally wrong.

It's not that you're wrong, it absolutely is a really good way of finding out how someone reacts to being asked to learn something new in a stressful situation. And that is a valuable thing to know - I love working with people who get excited about an opportunity to learn something.

It's just that you have to be prepared to give so much help and the question has to be so easy because it's all completely new that you can't test competence in any meaningful way. Which means that at the end of the 90 minutes or whatever, you know exactly one thing more - their attitude to learning under pressure, but you have relatively little time with them, and you probably need to learn multiple things per session.
it would be other way around, they will eat less to dampen chronic pain.

> Would you consider Wells Fargo's employees setting up fake accounts on behalf of their customers and charging for them, an example of these systems "working well

I would consider that fraud; if fraud is our metric then blockchain based systems are definitively the loser.

> Blockchain alternatives have really only seen anything close to mass adoption in the last 3 to 4 years.

They haven't seen anything close to mass adaption ever and there is no foreseeable future where they will since they provide immense utility to a very tiny subsection of the population and have so far been demonstrably useless for anything else.

> These are emergent solutions which are already pivoting to hybrid versions that run on renewable energy (it is afterall a race to mine with the least cost possible) and while unproven, proof of stake gives a hint towards the ongoing work to mitigate the negative impact of the underlying resource consumption

Unfortunately the stewards of the blockchain ecosystem have squandered all credibility with regard to unproven solutions because there is just too much grandiosity compared with what has actually been produced.

> but could it be advantageous to do so with a longer timeline as the base for analysis? Many critics here seam to treat this as if the verdict were already in..

I don't think it matters; if anyone discovers a generally useful function for blockchain tokens or a way to sustain the network without an inherently slow and wasteful PoW system then the critics will look like idiots and they'll have no defense because something actually useful needs no defense, it's utility is apparent in its widespread adoption.

“On the other hand, the trend now is to conduct every possible test whether or not there is any justification for doing so (corrected for multiple testing, no p-hacking, yes, sure)”

You are literally describing p-hacking.
That makes some sense, but I think there's also significant friction in the conversion. If I'm a store owner getting paid in ETH (or whatever), and I can buy a lot of my supplies with ETH, then it makes sense to just keep the ETH and buy my supplies with it, instead of paying unnecessary exchange fees. And if people do that, you don't have super-high velocity anymore. You're just an everyday currency like dollars (which are also mostly digital these days).

In fact, if people were to contact an exchange for every transaction, it's hard to see how there'd be any advantage over just using legacy financial systems.

I used to put a lot of stock in velocity of money considerations but now I'm thinking it doesn't have that much predictive value. All it's really saying is that the GDP is defined as the number of transactions, times the nominal amount of those transactions, times the real-world value of the currency unit. The currency price could be anything and the equation still holds true. If you assume a maximum achievable velocity, you can work out the minimum currency price for a given GDP, but the price could also be arbitrarily higher than that.
I have a theory of why most of these changes in the job hunt came about: people became afraid of firing.

That in itself isn't unreasonable. While much of the US has at-will employment, most of the rest of the world does not, and hiring the wrong person can be extremely expensive.

However, I suspect with current hiring trends we should not attribute to malice that which can be sufficiently explained by incompetence.

His thought about designing incentive structures and systems to solve problems and remove (inefficient, corruptible) humans from the equation is solid. I think many of the more rational theorists, irrespective of their political bent, would concur that this is an ideal approach.

What's missing is the how. He's far too optimistic about the complexity and inertia inherent in the very constructs he believes we should revise.

Above all is the question of incentivizing progress: it's much easier to describe sensible, efficient solutions than it is to move societies towards them.
Without getting this too far afield into religion, philosophy and psychology, some people believe that prayer et al can influence outcomes and many people feel incredibly guilt ridden about hoping for certain kinds of outcomes, no matter how irrational you may feel that is.
