What do you think happens now?

People more or less memorize a subset of leetcode and CTCI solutions and the bullet points from various scalable architecture books and resources, all of which are provided by recruiters in their email conversations with candidates. Fresh grads, the affluent, and people who have few or no social obligations (e.g. family) spend a few weeks (or months) doing what amounts to cramming for a test to prepare for these things.
Yeah, when thinking it through personally it comes down to a hard math problem. Because you have to maintain the state of the local files, whether they should live in memory vs ssd vs another node. Did you use an LRU cache for expunging less utilized resources?
Are you salaried or are you paid per hour?
There are known trackers involved with non-consensual crypto-jacking, and fingerprinting. Those domains can be blocked completely.
Firestri, it might be helpful to say where you are located in the world.

Anyway the options are see are:

Contracting - as you mentioned. If they are unsure enough that they make it a contract rather than permanent role, I see no ethical issue in quitting after the contract has finished. The question is then how do you explain this on your next contract. I'm not sure of the answer to that, but lets say you are flexible and say you can work anywhere in the world for work, you'll probably find some companies somewhere who desperately need resources and can't be fussy that someone has a sparkling resume full of 4 year stints in progressively more senior roles at brand name companies, and they'd be happy to take someone with more gaps in their resume than dutch cheese, because they need to get a problem solved quick.

Another option is to find a company that lets you have lots of career breaks. Probably want to work for a big company with the structure, processes and policies to support this. I reckon companies like Microsoft.

Another thing to consider if you can live frugally is a funded PhD and maybe you work on the PhD like crazy 8 months then take 4 months off, come back to it etc. Not sure how realistic that is but it's an idea.

If you can live frugally and be nomadic (or at least willing to avoid expensive cities) maybe freelancing remote would work for you. Earning $30/h but living in Vietnam for example, or even a very cheap part of the US sharing a room might be an options there. Once you get a reputation you might be able to get your earnings up to a normal job or even higher.

Yep. And I salute them for their results. According to the US EIA,

"California's total energy consumption ranks among the highest in the nation, but, in 2015, the state's per capita energy consumption ranked 49th, due in part to its mild climate and its energy efficiency programs."

That per-capita figure results from action. Instead of just talking the talk, they've been actively building green capacity for decades.

"In 2016, California ranked ... first as a producer of electricity from solar, geothermal, and biomass resources."

my experience with going from a late-90s model dishwasher to a relatively fancy brand new one last year is that it cleans better, but is slower and simply doesn't dry the dishes at all, and the standing water can leave residues on the dishes if I don't take them all out and towel dry them right away
Taking people should get a break—-it’s not their fault they’re tall, but fat people should have to pay for two seats if they go over the seat boundary by even one centimeter. And charge fat people a weight penalty, just like we pay for extra baggage. The revenue from gay people can subsidize the legroom for tall people.
What a sad world that they just couldn't have called it "vandalism" and moved on. Or far better, just reverted it and moved on.

Now the trolls/SJW's will have their pitchforks out to find other political vandalism that didn't get this attention, proving OSM doesn't care about 'that' issue.

It also tipped off the trolls what works best and how it's possible.

People need to stop politicising everything. The net has trolls. Deal with it. This post doesn't deal with vandals, it empowered them if anything, delete and move on.

Okay. Well Purism is already a free OS (modified Debian of course). It’s definitely an alternative to FirefoxOS. Librem 5 and iPhone are hardware, so you are correct that they are not software alternatives. The Librem 5 is priced at $600 probably because they’ve never built a phone before. It could be cheaper once it takes off.

You can already run Purism on other machines(laptops, desktops, etc). The mobile version will essentially be Purism with gnome-mobile UI. I’m sorry to read that you don’t think an open device that will have its drivers available and probably work with Android, isnt worth the cost.

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if it is tape they have on board specifically for this kind of thing, or whether they just repurposed tape used for insulating electrical work on the ISS?
Hope you've got evidence for that.
The drive to move quickly with software wasn't to keep up with ever changing hardware, it was to respond quickly to the market. Treat every release like an experiment. The more experiments you can run the more likely you are to understand and solve the needs of your users.

Why would someone pick software that get feature releases and bug fixes on a yearly cycle when similar software is available that has weekly or daily releases.

https://youtu.be/lQZzm9z8g_U?t=1565 seems to be the same talk delivered at another instance of this conference. He does claim one statistic that an unnamed "top 3" cloud provider told him that fewer than 10% of their customers install company-based kernels and over 90% install community-based kernels like debian or kernel.org code.

He is not limiting "the majority" to just Debian, though. He is comparing installs of distributions backed by companies (like Red Hat+Canonical+SuSE) as "the minority" vs. every possible non-corporate-backed distribution or source.

If you want to make a JS version, WebAssembly might be a great way to package the code up. WASM is fully supported in nodejs now, and its available in all modern browsers[1]. You'd need to write bindings for the C++ API methods, but once you do that you could throw the result up on npm and it should work in both node and web projects, with no compilation step.

To your library's users the end result will be indistinguishable from a native JS library.

Edit: I just had a play to see how feasible this would be. Even a stripped, optimized build of tink compiles into a 2.5MB binary. This would be fine from nodejs, but its way too big for a web library. It would need to be heavily cut down to be useful in a browser. It might be easier to simply wrap the modern browser crypto API.

That’s exactly the dynamic I was talking about: the US percentage dropped more but that only made us less far behind the EU than we used to be. That’s not how almost anyone is going to interpret a statement that the US is doing better than the EU.
I feel the article is super misleading because extreme wealth creation can only come from monopolies.

The capitalism is made up of monopolies. Starting from biggest companies in the world to nation-states which have a monopoly on pretty much all territory they control.

If you don't have a monopoly, then creating wealth (extracting rent/ high margins) becomes impossible, so a lot of innovation exists to maintain monopolies.

In the end, the capitalism is a system of control with capital allocation as the main control mechanism.

It just has inputs and outputs and we as humans have opinions about what is good or bad, but it is very dangerous just to state that some system is inherently good when the worse atrocities in the world happened in states which were capitalists: Nazi Germany.

Hotels allocate a portion of rooms for sites like agoda, trip advisor, etc. And keep a small portion for direct bookings and walk ins.

The price is almost always cheaper when booked direct or onsite than it is through a 3rd party. That’s cos the cut these people take is upwards of 15-30%. Hotels are literally forced to pay this because if they don’t they don’t get business. Under cutting the websites for going direct allows them to get more profit.

If you ever try book a hotel and it says there’s no rooms avaliable. There’s a good chance you can get a room by going direct.

There are benefits to using the 3rd party which is refunds and cancelations. A lot of hotels don’t offer refunds at all or have conditions on refunds and cancelations. The 3rd party sites handle the refunds themselves tho.

> But reputable hotels don't resort to that since that attracts price sensitive guests that aren't desirable anyway, such as prostitutes and drug dealers.

Maybe at the 1 or 2 star level, but every other hotel on the planet secretly loves the price discrimination that Priceline and Hotwire offer.

You won't see a $1400/night boutique hotel on there, but a $300/night place will offload for half the price if they're relatively unbooked.
...pharmaceuticals and leade compounds such as cannabis are ancillary to other methods. the tendency to just medicate behaviour into something acceptable [homebrew or professionally] is like putting a bandage on a wound that needs stitches, it works for a while get management, but has negatives. anxiety has different underlying causes, and the underlying cause needs to be found and dealt with. In some cases genetic factors are the cause of anxiety in the face of a particular situation. Many anxiety issues go far back to a time or set of circumstances that are not available to everyday conscious state.
im not saying your nuts but this example instance im talking about is like a habituated reflex, like being conditioned to standing up and looking for the door when you hear a fire alarm. there are professional methods for determining just what type of issue you have and they are specific to the root cause. Cannabis can cause anxiety ...be careful...

I would agree that western societies never solved this problem directly however they did try an indirect approach. Universal education slowly grew till a peak at around the 80s. They tried to arm the average person with Reason as well as practical skills like general literacy and exposure science. You combine that with low corruption and a general trust in authority and you have a very functional society.

But again in all seriousness why would the public believe a random article over any statement by government or other authoritative body?
> they are pretty bad at math

You've been couching your assertions in hyperbolic judgmental-sound terms, which I fear detracts from your point, but this seems to be the crux of it.

You have not, however, demonstrated the "math" in your viewpoint. Specifically, how does it work out, being sure to include risk (or probability) as a factor?

> otherwise it wouldn't be so hard to get funding for $1-2MM

That doesn't follow, as any difficulty can be adequately explained by (perceived) likelihood of an outsized return (100X+).

Are you sure you're not confusing VCs with lower (e.g. average) risk investors?
Gets a guy thinking about those old flying boat routes.
That's the irony of it all. It seems like so many people complain about the comfort of airlines when in aggregate they put airlines that offered better amenities out of business due to slightly higher prices.

Before the internet became the standard for booking travel, travel agents were often used to book flights. They could persuade people to spend just a bit more (around $10-$20) to fly on airlines with better food and more space. It worked!

As soon as sorting by price became the standard it became a race to the bottom. Airlines are only responding to market demand. The fact is everyone want's a premium experience but when it comes time to pay they only want the absolute cheapest fare. The travel aspect of a trip is now considered a tolerated annoyance instead of part of the overall experience. The same thing is happening with hotels as they eliminate services to offer cheaper rooms with nothing else.

Do you value quality of quantity you need to ask yourself. Is it better to have fewer long trips or frequent short trips you need to ask yourself.
As long as the truck isn’t your daily driver I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Did I say it is a magic phrase? It used to say when you want something not reported. You should definitely get familiar with journalism terminology.
Yes, definitely. If I made it sound like I was having the time of my life, I'm sorry. If you're just starting out in your career, four months of experience is too valuable to pass by. Besides, you'll get bored of all the shit pretty quickly. You'll have nobody to talk to because everyone will have work, and all the websites you can visit will start getting boring and repetitive after a while. And when the time comes that you have to get to work, you'll be out of touch.

I honestly think that free time in office isn't free at all, it's fucking suffocating. You can't work, but you can't have fun either, i.e, have a beer and watch a movie, play videogames (the games on the company playstation are at least a decade old) , hang out with your girlfriend, go for an actual vacation. It's like you're stuck in limbo. You can't do anything productive or fun.

Save for it. Get good credit cards with valuable travel points. Put it off until you can pay for a premium experience which you'll enjoy more. While saving research deeply where you are going and plan for a longer trip - it makes spending money on better travel more economical.

I submitted a FOIA request five years ago to the State Department. About six months ago I received a partial response which was redacted to uselessness. I’m still waiting for the rest of the responsive documents.

I am having a difficult time understanding how you're taking the fact that they did a test and got an outcome, and concluding therefore that they "faked" the test.

Let me try an analogy to explain my viewpoint. Let's say I'm testing pre-alpha UI with some users. In the first phase, I give them no explicit training or instruction on the software because I want to see, as a whole, how the thing holds up holistically. Let's further say that, during that first phase, they struggle with the menu system or how to enter commands. Okay, noted. But I still need to check various wizards and dialogs, and I've already brought all these testers in. So instead of sending everyone home while I fix the main menu/command bar/whatever, I construct and direct situations so that all the aspects of the UI are exposed to the user for testing. "Go here and click the arrow-into-a-box button to save the file." "Oh, that's what that is? How come it isn't a normal save button?" "Sorry about that, but go ahead and do that and then see how it goes from there." "Okay!"

Would you similarly conclude that I "faked" the test? Do you think the better solution would be to send everyone home? Or just have them twiddle their thumbs for the entire length of the exercise?

It seems quite clear, to me, that the correct course of action is to keep testing. Continue to test and try various components of doctrine to see how they hold up. The fact that this Red Team didn't want to use anti-air radar doesn't mean we should waste the opportunity to test our doctrine on how to counter it.
I don't think "hostile" is the correct word, since it improves my browsing experience. It does more than stop modals -- it prevents 90% of the design, advertising, and tracking garbage on the Web, and I can now read websites the way I want.
> Hopefully this will lead to automated testing procedures for Intel, other processor manufacturers and security researchers.

They have tons of testing already. The problem is that this is the kind of problem which is easy to miss with tests, especially automated ones, because everything worked correctly and no real code would ever have been affected by the side effects.
Why not just using vim instead of bat?
Yes, this is true. The wierdest part is that my new team lead fucking fought tooth and nail to get me pulled from my previous team. The old lead told him I was needed till at least the newest batch of dev work had been done but the new lead went to the department manager and got me reassigned. And I have no place to sit, even. Makes me wonder if I've been caught in the middle of some kind of management power play.
Airlines don't care one way or another. It's customers that want to cram as many seats as possible as that makes their cost cheaper. If there was a market for comfortable travel that was reasonably more expensive than what we have today it would exist. I know this because it used to be like this. As soon as "sort by price" became the main way people book travel it killed this option.

People want the cheapest flight possible and airlines are serving what the public has demanded.
