This Month in Google Assistant: June Recap
I'm not sure how strong a counterexample UT Austin is, since it's currently at number 10 in US News rankings [1]. Particularly when it comes to academic jobs, there's a huge disparity in where people did their PhD [2]. But I see this as more an indictment of the academic hiring process than a reflection of quality. For hiring where I am, I don't see any explicit bias against people from particular schools, but I do see a bias of where to look for potential candidates. And I have definitely sat at tables and realized I was the only person not from a top-15 CS grad program.

I do agree with everything else.

I do a lot of interviews and I am pretty sure that quite a few students are cheating to get high grades.

There is no way that I get a student who has a A average in computer science and then I ask them to do some simple coding and they outright fail.

The some people cheap right in the interview, I step out of the office and then quick come back and I see they have their cell phone out to copy from.

I am sure cheating is partially responsible for grade inflation.
It seems related to Google DNS, as when I switched from that to the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1's all of these sites are available again!

> I'm sorry, I didn't intend it as an attack, just a remark that you seem to be asking for something that very few in the open source world are providing.

Yes, this is a continual source of frustration for me. Every time someone starts a new desktop OS project they just keep making the same mistakes (at least I think they are mistakes) and we end up with what is essentially another Linux distro.

> Yes, 90% of desktop users use Windows. But Linux is not Windows, and neither is Haiku, and so I'm not sure why you're upset that we've decided to go a route more Linuxy than Windowsy here.

Because there are approximately 200 Linux distributions that already went that route and they're not particularly useful dekstop OSs either. Haiku already had an uphill battle in lack of software and hardware support, but the more it makes itself like a Linux distro the less reason I see to choose it over a Linux distro.

> And as an OS developer and package maintainer, I prefer the tradeoff the other way.

Yes, exactly. You like package management because it makes your life easier, not because it makes the system simpler, and not because it provides more flexibility for the user.

> You are of course more than free to create AppImage-style HPKGs on your own. :)

I could do that in Linux or Windows, why bother doing it for an OS with even less hardware and software support? If an OS wants me to use it over something else then I need compelling reasons.

> Well, it seems most of the open source world disagrees with you very much, then.

Perhaps that's part of the reason they have so few desktop users. I can only speak for myself here.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I remember being around 12 and doing what I could do score free points. Felt incredible accomplishment when I managed to get "free" battery adapters and other trinkets.

I also agree that it is nonsensical to compare Beenz (which are more comparable to points you get in online panels) to modern-day cryptocurrencies.

Karat - Seattle, WA & Remote
Karat is a Seattle-based startup that does software engineering interviews on behalf of other companies -- primarily first-round technical interviews. Quickly-growing companies can spend a significant fraction of their engineers' time interviewing; we help take the load off.

We are a well funded and quickly growing startup. Due to this quickly-growing demand, we're looking to hire more Interviewers. The ideal candidate is a software engineer with strong written and verbal english skills with at least a few years of professional experience. Interviewing experience would be great, but we spend 20-25 hours (paid) training you before you even start, so if you're strong technically and love working with people we can usually make it work :) Interviews are conducted over video chat, using a collaborative code editor.

Some interviewers do 10 interviews/week (Our minimum requirement) while others do over 25 interviews/week. You can work from anywhere, anytime. Webcam required along with a solid internet connection.

Expert Interviewer - Remote - 10-40hrs per week: https://jobs.lever.co/karat/d44ab283-c7c0-4bbd-b8c3-4dc0ced6...

Russia was in Crimea and anti-Russian rhetoric / sanctions were going into effect in that time frame. So I would say people were justifiably concerned in 2015 and FB should have known better.

There is an Android app called IMSI-Catcher Detector[0] that is supposed to help you detect when you're connected to a stingray-type device. I ran it for around a year and it never once picked up on anything. I'm not involved on the project and can't personally say if it will catch anything or not, but it is open source[1].

Cryptocurrencies are so rife with scam that I'm shocked that major governments haven't done anything to stop them yet. Are they so ineffective that if you paper over a scam with "but the blockchain!" they won't do anything?

I guess if they did institute bans there'd be backlash, and it's not like cryptocurrencies won't blow up all on their own. Still, it's distressingly spineless and/or incompetent.

Local stores sell tissues, even paper ones.

But a pharmacy is for medication. Tissues aren't medication, can't be predescribed by a doctor and can't be ingested.

It's also not created by a health company, it's not required to be sterilised, ... In the end, you can even use toilet paper, if you have no tissues and it will make no difference.

>"To properly bake a pizza you need 350/400"
>"Normal electrical ovens arrive to 220/240 C"

You don't really need it, you can produce extremely good pizzas in an ordinary oven, as long as you remember to preheat it and have enough thermal mass in your baking stone/steel. Once the oven reaches temp, give it at least another 15 minutes to really preheat the stone.

Preheating and a good dough have been the key ingredients for me. That and a hefty 8kg baking steel. Metal retains more heat and dumps it a lot quicker into the crust than a traditional backing stone.

> So I don't think that most of them are purposely intellectually dishonest but just lack awareness.

Some days I feel this charitable. Others not. Usually I suspect they're too intelligent for a lack of awareness to be a good enough excuse: there comes a point where ignorance becomes willful. Then again, this is precisely the problem we're talking about here: when our cognitive biases are so comfortable that our brains erect strong defenses to keep intruders out.

---

I probably should have avoided being categorical with my comments on choice. While the capacity for such a choice appears to be unique to the human being, I am not entirely convinced it is, but that has more to do with intuitions about nonhuman minds rather than any sort of certainty. However I am incredibly cautious about the kind of research into free will that you're talking about, because, even if I doubt the inevitably of the endpoint you suggest, it remains an attempt to transform the human being into a calculation, into a process, and that reduces our affairs into mere administration. It's one of the (productive?) contradictions in my own thought that I am constantly pushing up against: my politics are such that I see the value in that kind of bureaucratic management, but my philosophy is such that I see it as dehumanizing. There is no natural equilibrium to be had here, so our duty is one of rebalancing, of maintaining the scales between the unique capacity for human choice and ensuring the conditions of life that are necessary for our biology.
Not that I'm aware of. A general difficulty with interpreting case studies also is the number of unmeasured confounding factors. And when studying humans, what are we checking - is it simply increased rates of cancer? Or if it is behavioral/mental changes, then the natural differences in personal behaviors across individuals would make it practically impossible to set a control.

Maybe once we finally develop a clone army we can know for sure.
The article says the lift is only for foreign visitors, and because they plan to turn those parts of Hainan into free-trade zones. Could this be a trial for rolling out the same thing in other places (i.e. SEZs) where foreigners concentrate? Then they could get the benefits of domestic censorship without foreigners loudly posting about how they can't reach Facebook for the next 2 months, and making China look bad.
I think a legitimate question is whether there was political motivation to inflate W's economy, and whether he should have known the consequences.

From wikipedia (and Barrons):

His dissertation is not available from the university[17] since it was removed at Greenspan's request in 1987, when he became Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. In April 2008, however, Barron's obtained a copy and notes that it includes "a discussion of soaring housing prices and their effect on consumer spending; it even anticipates a bursting housing bubble".[18]
