That makes sense actually. I never thought of it that way.

Well we can look at this guy's last post.

Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 00010, wishing to speak to Sgt 4chan please. C23249161. The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger

So the message is a bit over the top for humor (I think) but it still expresses similarities with other terrorists. He obviously belongs to a community which has conditioned his way of thinking. Now I'll grant that the way the incel community affected his thinking wasn't methodical, but it was grooming, just that the 'groomer' isn't one person but actually a whole bunch of people playing bit parts. It doesn't even seem that he thinks of himself as a lone wolf as we traditionally think about it. He expresses solidarity three different times in that tiny post: (1) a soldier in part of an army, (2) part of a rebellion/"we", (3) solidarity with Elliot Rodger.

What the explicit political goal is here I'm not exactly sure but I don't think I'd be out of line in saying that this guy wants Western gender relations to be more accommodative to people like himself and that's why he did this. He seems like a standard terrorist to me, not really that distinguished from a suicide bomber.
Are you suggesting that Apple have automated bots attempt to censor hacker news? or is this more of an official thing where any posts regarding Apple are weighted down due to being considered too mainstream? or is it just a sensitive topic to many people?

I can easily imagine any but I don't know which is more likely.
Seems to me like he was trying that as a strategy at first, realized it was ineffective, and did a perfect 180 by publishing a website with the URL "reformedfelonforhire.com" on which he lists the details of his crime alongside his resume.

Hi, this is not a system wide enhancement. What's protected is your interaction with kob.

A more appropriate way to use it in your case would be taking a keepass keyfile, obfuscating it once. Then when you need the original keyfile for keepass to open your db, you use kob to assist with deobfuscation without leaking the passphrase you originally used to obfuscate the key .

I'd like us to start using the term "enlightenment" for these types of discussions. This is the whole goal of introspection, self-help, self-finding, etc. When you start to search around for ways to enlightenment, the doors are blown open with the number of paths that one can take to introspect yourself.
For the first 4 of the past 6 months, I've tried disclosing early (first or second phone call), half-way through, or near the job offer phase. Every single time, without fail, they email back (not even a phone call) with either a generic or very brief message retracting their offer or declining to proceed with the interview process. Smaller companies will simply stop returning my calls and emails, and completely cut off contact regardless of when I tell them. I only started waiting until the background check until I disclose for the past 2 months because I'm getting very nervous about not actually getting a job.

Yes, it definitely is. The reduction of four strokes to one at the bottom for the character for "horse" is a perfect example of how the simplified form proposed by the Chinese state merely copied the rapid way of writing the traditional character. Again, I must question your familiarity with this subject.
> (and an unfortunate indictment of Jony Ive's design leadership)

Ive has been leading design at Apple for 26 years. I think the failure lies elsewhere.
As much as I wish the guy all the best, this is a valid point. From an employer point of view, if I'd find out about conviction (of any kind) from the background check (and not during the hiring process), I'd feel cheated.
Yes, and that value is commensurate with the number of remote workers.
Seems like places that have remote employees would be perfect for hiring reformed felons. If I ever made a company as successful as GitLab I would have no qualms hiring this guy for remote work. Nothing wrong with hiring them for non-remote work, just saying the liability is even lower.
This is an interesting follow-up to the original example. I quite like the proposals he makes (although with some reservations about the extreme one —- some level of contact with end users is always valuable in my experience)

However, relevant to contemporary software (where nearly every project, regardless of scale, seems to need a team...):

The exception, of course, is that makers working in teams have ways to communicate within their team.

My experience is that “the team” seems to be a disproportionate source of interruptions. If anything, I wonder about a system where a manager acts as a form of message-queue within the team. Pretty much the direct opposite of a lot if contemporary approaches (...scrum...) but perhaps a bigger increase in maker-schedule time than focusing on external interruptions.
Futurama even covered that! “Interesting side note: as a head without a body, I envy the dead.”
Depends on how far back you go for "always", the source/destination of your commutes and the manner (walking, biking, transit, driving). 10 years ago I'd commute (driving) further for around 20 minutes, now it takes me 40 minutes for 75% of the same distance. And luckily I don't even have to take 85 or 880 anymore and can bike most of the days so I don't really care but I have noticed large commute times differences over the past 10 years. And it's only going to get worse.
I would hire the guy if I needed something. I don't see why it matters if the guy used to be a felon previously. Is he going to be violent over some software specs? I very much doubt it.
Something about Ethereum feels like a 19th century perpetual motion machine. "Ok, so the overbalanced wheels didn't quite work, but we'll add ball bearings and flowing water and gears and..."

In 1872, a man named John Keely demonstrated a machine that operated on what he called the "vaporic" or "etheric" force:

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

The same year he raised 5 million dollars, equivalent to about $100M in today's money. Two years later he demonstrated a model that was described as a "hydro-pneumatic-pulsating-vacu-engine" with "quadruple negative harmonics". No doubt he'd be a blockchain entrepreneur today.

(Edit: Someone actually maintains a big wiki dedicated to Keely's "Sympathetic Vibratory Physics" and "Etheric Elements":

Amazing that an investment fraud from 150 years ago is still producing "research"! A sobering reminder of the power of lies.)
I have plenty of experience here, so I can comment.

I've never had a problem finding a gig even though I'm a felon, but I don't work with BigCorp because that's not my scene (and it's probably harder to market myself as a felon to anyway):

At the end of the initial phone call / screening, I tell them, transparently: "there's no way I can pass a background check by the way"

It has always been well received, even to recruiters and head hunters.
It happened 2 years ago.

OP, the website doesn't specify which part of the country you're looking for work. That may be a good thing to add.
Unfortunately that's not possible.

Basically, the way the crypto math works in HTTPS is it's a symmetrical proof that only proves that either the sender or the receiver sent the TCP stream. Normally that's OK, because you trust yourself. But in this case the problem you're trying to solve is to prove what happened to a third party who doesn't trust the receiver, so your idea doesn't work.

In SQL:2016, it is

> 4.24.13 Known functional dependencies in the result of a <group by clause>

Not that this is about the result of a <group by clause>

edit: The matrix I have in the article is not complete. I've just picked a few examples from the standard and checked them to get an overview. I guess the fact that PostgreSQL supports some of them but MySQL more of them is well represented in the matrix.

The full text is below. I'm happy to correct, when I'm interpreting this wrong (which is perfectly possible).

Let T1 be the table that is the operand of the <group by clause>, and let R be the result of the <group by clause>. Let G be the set of columns specified by the <grouping column reference list> of the <group by clause>, after
applying all syntactic transformations to eliminate ROLLUP, CUBE, and GROUPING SETS.
The columns of R are the columns of G, with an additional column CI, whose value in any particular row of R somehow denotes the subset of rows of T1 that is associated with the combined value of the columns of G in that row.
If every element of G is a column reference to a known not null column, then G is a BUC-set of R. If G is a subset of a BPK-set of columns of T1, then G is a BPK-set of R.
G ↦ CI is a known functional dependency in R.
And when you told them when meeting in person? So after initial screening, but before final background check?
Parsing HTML content won't get you the full benefit an inference engine would. An inference engine could easily learn that 90% of your users getting to your landing page are going to login & end up on their home screen so it would push the static resources for the home screen too. Similarly, it might know that it already pushed those resources previously in the session & only push the new static resources that are unique to you once you login (saving the round-trip of the client nacking the resource). Doing it via stateless HTML parsing is never going to work because you have no idea of the state of the session. That doesn't mean there's not a place for a mixture of approaches (& yes you could teach the HTML parsing about historical pushes but then you get back to the concern you raised about storing that data somewhere).

The HTML parsing approach is probably great from a 80% of the benefit for 20% of the effort on small-scale websites (i.e. majority). A super accurate inference engine might use deep learning to train what to serve on a very personalized level if you have a lot of users & the CPU/latency trade-off makes sense for your business model (i.e. more accuracy for a larger slice of your population). A less accurate one might just collect statistics in a DB & make cheap less accurate guesses from that (or use more "classic ML" like Bayes) if you have a medium amount of users or the CPU usage makes more sense and you're OK with the maintenance burden of a DB. It's a sliding scale IMO of tradeoffs with different approaches making sense depending on your priorities.

I used to work in health insurance business, and actually a lot of this information is available via CMS:
https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Sta...

It's mandated in a sense because all Medicare data has to be sent to and aggregated by CMS and then reported on. So I think this already happens.

California also has some mandates about hospital "chargemaster" data, and the data is publicly available here: https://www.oshpd.ca.gov/chargemaster/
For my company, as with many, we need to know about this stuff up-front. If we make an agreement on the basis of not knowing, then we later find out, there is absolutely no way whatsoever we will _ever_ hire you.

We are a finally regulated company though, so the requirements are perhaps a bit more strict.

If you explain all of this ahead of time - much like this website does - then we can take it into account and there won't be any surprises. For a serious offence, it's probably still going to be a no. For anything fraud or white-collar related, it's going to be a no. But for less serious offences not related to our business, I think we'd be reasonably comfortable.

Extreme overclockers on Intel platforms DO change the BCLK, which from my understanding, changes the TSC timing.

https://www.tweaktown.com/guides/7481/tweaktowns-ultimate-in...

Its not a "common" practice, but its certainly an overclocking practice that enough overclockers do that its a concern.
If a company will decline to hire you based on finding out, then there isn't really anything you can do - they will find out one way or another.

If you're being pragmatic about it, you might as well save your time and get rejected from these kinds of companies earlier on in the process, rather than get all the way to the end before having to move on.

The end result is the same.
Not GP, but many companies have a policy allowing employees to live in remote places, but if you live in the same city as the office, you're not allowed to work from home.

The idea seems to be that remote employees are expected to establish a little mini-outpost of that company within their own home, while local employees who "work from home" are more often than not really handling errands or lounging or whatever. It's a double-standard, but a very common one in my experience.
> Not for all inputs

Which proves my point: a program can't "do anything" just because some part of it may contain UB. Only the UB paths are allowed to "do anything".

> There is at least one other input value that produces UB.

Not in my example there isn't (assuming proper context for the example code, i.e. you aren't doing "#define printf (something evil)", you include the right headers, you define main properly, etc, etc).

> And this is exactly the problem: even on a trivial example that you contrived, you cannot fully enumerate all the circumstances that produce UB

The problem is that you don't really understand UB fully and are making incorrect claims about it repeatedly.

I'm not claiming UB can't cause problems, but it doesn't cause problems in some of the ways you've been quite vocal about.

What’s wrong with having $18B in rent? Seriously.

WeWork is in the same business as what Hertz is in for cars.

They rent out an expensive asset (eg commercial real estate and automobiles)

Hertz has $21B in liabilities [1], which is largely comparized of paying financing charges for all of those Toyota Camrys they rent out.

Yet they are still profitable.

Oh come on, plenty of goods already have their sale restricted without any effect on the "freedom" of the people.

Restricting internet filtering technology, just like military hardware and encryption technology, simply imposes higher costs on regimes which might not be able to afford them. It's not perfect, but a viable option if promoting freedom of expression is a policy the West wants to pursue.

Because big money will trade enough dollar value as to change the price by their action so whoever is second missed the opportunity.

Languages like python are immediately out, they make no attempt to be fast (which is fine for their niche). Even languages like Java are out, the JVM is too smart: it turns out that the algorithm needs to analyse a few thousand possible trades where the answer no trade before it gets one where the answer is yes, as a result Java will optimize for the common no path. In C++ the programmer will lie to the optimizer claiming that the yes path is the most likely even though it isn't! As a result code written in C++ will always have the yes path as most optimal: when a trade should be made the java program pays a CPU branch misprediction penalty and the C++ program will not thus C++ wins the trade. Of course for the above to work you need cleaver programmers who spend time at the profiler and know how to make the CPU work for them.

C++ has one other useful advantages over some of the competition: it won't waste CPU checking for things like dereferencing a null pointer. Speed is important, you should verify via other means (unit tests, formal methods static analysis, or have the checks that you run on dummy data and compile without them for production)

Thus C and C++ are the only useful choices: the compilers have good optimizers (this rules out a lot of other compiled languages), they don't use CPU to check for "can't happen" errors, and you can lie to the optimizer in useful ways. There are other advantages, but the rest are things that a good programmer could easily work around (ie write a new stat structure from your CS textbook)
I don't know what ticks other people off but the problem I have with this is not with the sentencing, but the fact that Microsoft decided it had nothing better to do than go after a guy who was actually trying to do some good by promoting recycling.

I took over as IT Director at a company with a small team. Everyone would take their issues to the developer all day long, interrupting his day constantly. So every new "fire" because the latest task.

Not surprisingly the hacked together new website (which went live months late and $100s of Ks over budget) was a train wreck. Unreliable and constantly causing errors/issues.

The first thing I did was said the only person that can talk to the development team is me. It took about 2 months to get all the software processes in place that were non-existent, to get the entire website working and stable, and to get our task/goal list under control.

The cocksucker owner comes to me and says "I want these 4 project you quoted that would take 6 months done in the next 3 months". So I quit (so did their lead developer that was doing 90% of the heavy lifting).

IT Management is a mess everywhere I've ever been, just to varying degrees. Maybe this is because most my career has been as a consultant or contractor, but it's really discouraging.
