Perhaps the software is already advance enough that a user could use a more complex input into the facial recognition system. For example left eye closed. Or nose scrunched. A pout face. And so on. That way the odds of someone forcing the correct input in the limited allowed attempts greatly diminishes.
The "Eastern" (and often "Western") method of summarily imprisoning and often executing millions of people for "non participation" is not an ideal to strive for.
Yepyepyepyep -- I struggle mightily with this phenomenon and some time ago adopted the above practice [except my variant is 'good to see you'; my farewell is 'see you later / see you around' for consistency].

Has saved me a hella ton of aggravation and worrying.

edit : if I know from context that I've met someone before but don't recognize them / remember name, I just come right out and admit it straight away : "Hi! We met before but I've forgotten your name, sorry -- what is it?"
It wasn’t ignored it was disproven. Come up with experimental evidence or gtfo.
I've had a lot of success with having Github projects to answer that question. "Look for yourself" is a great comeback.

It doesn't even have to be original, or particularly useful. Just something that shows that you understand what modern development is about: neat code, good docs, unit tests, regular commits. Use modern libraries and idioms.

Heck, I don't think anyplace has even tried the code.

Looking for part-time/contract/gigs. Mostly I have worked in web development, automation, and data mining and analysis.

Also played a bit with Kafka, Elastic Search and a few other Data Engineering tools(Check blog for the purpose) as well as blockchain development.

If you have something interested then do buzz me.

Thanks
LOL. People engage for all sorts of reasons, aren't they? Some could be very lucid but have no choice. Is exploiting those better then exploiting gullible people?
This is one of those situations where little-endian order is clearly more consistent and superior --- all the loops count naturally upwards from the least significant to most, the same direction as the address increments, and there are no additional "length -" calculations which would be necessary in big-endian ordering. (I don't know of any widely-used multiprecision implementation that stores limbs in big-endian order, even on a big-endian machine.)
Do you believe that friends of the Chinese government in power are all being property held accountable for taxes? Chinese government inner party has over 100 billionaires, by some coincidence.

> it might be that some or all of it will end up being baryonic matter

It can’t be. It’s already known that 5/6 ths of all the matter in the observable Universe can’t be baryonic.

> There isn’t a consensus amongst scientists

Only for completely useless definitions of the “concensus.”
Occam’s razor is not a proof, it’s an optimization path for conducting experiments.
Is it possible that alien civilizations are using gravitational waves to communicate? Maybe that's why we've literally had "radio silence" so far.
I think it's because most technology managers are too disconnected from the actual work, and don't understand what their employees actually do. Obviously, there are a few examples of tech leaders that remain hands on, but it seems that when most engineers transition into leadership, after 2-3 years, they've become so disconnected from anything hands on that they are just bad.

I'll give an example: a software development manager meets with the customer directly, without bringing a developer with him, because hey, this is an executive meeting and I'm an important manager, and I want to score points with this customer. He proceeds to commit his team to delivering a solution on an unrealistic timeline, and doesn't realize that the solution he committed to deliver won't work in the customer's environment because of $various_reasons. Now, his team of poor software engineers is faced with two impossible options: attempt to deliver an impossible outcome on an impossible timeline, or give the customer bad news. Of course, the manager doesn't want to take the blame for bad outcomes (only the credit for good ones), so he makes his engineers deliver the bad news to the customer. Ultimately, the customer is unhappy, and the developers are unhappy.

Most of the bad managers I've seen spend more time "managing up" and trying to score points with their managers than helping their employees succeed. The really good managers realize that they work for their employees, not the other way around, and are a heat shield, motivator, and advocate for their team, willing to fall on their sword if necessary to protect their most junior engineers.
So true! This reminded me of the first time I came upon Conway's Doomsday Algorithm for telling what day of the week a certain date is.

I did some high school level math on the equivalence of the signals detected by LIGO vs the gravitational wave induced by the mass energy conversion of 1kg of plutonium from the other side of the earth.

If memory serves the signal of the latter should have been ~3 orders of magnitude higher.

Using nukes to communicate is a bit intense, but a tuned receiver should be able to pick up lower energy levels.
I think my statement about not having functioning options markets was stronger than I intended. I just meant you'd have way less liquidity, sometimes so little liquidity that you might as well not have a market

Could you elaborate on your point about hard to borrow options being the most widely traded? I'm not a derivatives person but was at a biotech fund and briefly looked at those options markets, and the bid ask spreads were ridiculous for many names to the point where it was almost pointless to even put in an order. Liquidity was super light as well
Snapchat?

If your app is that big, someone is always carrying a pager for when there are problems. The difference is on PaaS, you can't do a damn thing about it if it's a problem with the platform.

I've helped multiple companies get off of app engine because even for companies losing money (startups), it's too unreliable -- and actually very slow (datastore) if your app is relational. Also, it's very very expensive if you hit the datastore hard.
"wanting to go home for the weekend or to play golf"

That is 100% real. A friend got hurt for that purpose. In her case, it was a huge and brutal episiotomy. The moment the kid was out, he ran out to play golf. Another friend got just about exactly the same, but because the doctor's house was flooding.

Doctors are human. Humans are often uncaring or even evil. Customers get dehumanized, like mechanical widgets on an assembly line in a factory.
I go with, "What's your name again?". When they tell me their first name, I say, "No sorry, I meant your last name?".

Sure, however the shareholders seem happy, they're richer than ever -- look at the DOW. For them, the control over the workers, and the lack of slacking off, is the best of both worlds.
There is an unbelievable amount of woo marketed at first-time parents. I suspect its a bit of an artifact of smaller family sizes, so that there is less practical experience in general circulation. I wish my grandmother who had nine children and a dozen or so pregnancies was still alive be a source of advice.

Any reputable cloud service implements technical and process controls to control or eliminate access to customer data. Doing something like incorporating customer data into advertising would be a very serious situation, and frankly I doubt anyone would be that dumb at scale.

Google will contractually agree to a bunch of things relative to this and has third party audits to provide additional assurance.
I don't have the context on the "engagement industry" or whatever that I think I need to appreciate this post as the specific criticism I think it's trying to be, but I think people really are bitterly unsatisfied with their jobs and saying the engagement "number has barely budged over the last decade" despite notable corporate success is sorta missing the point?

The idea that people's engagement or happiness -- or even just their general satisfaction at work -- is strongly correlated to their employing corporations' success is a persistent myth in tech that I just don't understand. People hate "sell outs" and they hate themselves when they sell out for a reason. You start as someone dedicated to a craft, you end up working somewhere that pays you a lot of money to do it but without giving you the chance to put yourself into that work at all, and then you end up making soulless work that not even you really like. But it made money so it keeps going like that until it absolutely blows up and everyone has to "rebrand" or another company slips in as the rebranded form in your place.

Steph Curry is happy when the Warriors win because he's on a team that is winning by playing the game his way. If the team made him go to dunk every time he got the ball I bet his satisfaction would be shit too -- and it probably wouldn't keep netting the Warriors more rings.

Prosopagnosia sufferer here -- what clues do you use to ID people?

I rely mostly on gait, height /build, dress habit, hair / facial hair, voice. If someone grows / shaves a beard or gets glasses, I'm pretty hosed. Example : my own uncle cut his hair and shaved his moustache, I didn't recognize him until he spoke.
As I mentioned in another comment here: "luxury" gets you around rent control in at least one major US city, so I imagine there are developers out there doing the absolute minimum to meet "luxury" standards.

It's a perverse incentive: they make it nicer to avoid regulations, not to actually attract luxury-minded tenants.

You cannot develop perfect pitch as an adult (really some time around six - eight years of age seems to be the cutoff). You can develop really good relative pitch at any point though, which is still tremendously valuable.

I never cared to play around OpenCL, because they were stuck with C only mentality, plus the stone age idea from GLSL that I should somehow read text files, compile and link them programmatically, and a pat on the back for debugging.

CUDA right from the start supported C, C++, Fortran, with a bytecode format for other compiler backends, and a nice debugging experience.

Obvious which one would gain the hearts of developers that have moved beyond C.

It took Khronos up to OpenCL 2.0 to fix this, by then it was too late.

Even on mobile devices, Google created their own C99 dialect (Renderscript) instead of adopting OpenCL.
I cycle 4 days a week for 2 - 4 hours each ride. I have tried various kinds of fasting including 16:8 and 5:2 and they've all been a disaster. I have extensive split times for the same rides and after accounting for wind/temperature, when fasted, I slow down about 3% after 90 minutes. After 2 hours, I slow down 5%. After 3 hours, I slow down 15% and feel terrible. I also feel more tired for the rest of the day. Even if I don't fast on ride days and fast on the other 3 my ride times are slower and my recovery is harder. I've kept up the fasting for at least 3 months to see if my body will adjust, but it does not work for me. Now, I practice 16:8 in the winter when I'm riding less but not during the main season.
At the end of the day life happens. Interviewing can take a tremendous amount of effort, and worse, since you generally need to hide it from your current employer, it also can feel gross emotionally. And on top of all that, the best time to interview is actually when you're generally happy with your job, and are working on projects that you like and are good for tou mentally, since you'll come across much happier and more conpetent.

which is to say that you may not end up interviewing as often as you should. And when you do interview, you won't look as good as you could. And life. When you have experience and some seniority at a job it can be really convenient to stay put. Have a physical injury? Lose 6 months. Get married? Lose a year to the craziness that is wedding planning. Have a kid? lose 2 years to sleep deprevation. Buy a house? Lose 3 months to dealing with open houses and closing. Have a parent die? Lose 6 months to deal with their estate. You'll be surprised about the frequency that life throws things at you where interviewing is not only low priority, but also very risky because it'll be hard to put in the time and effort in those important first 90 days.

So yes, take the risks, and be courageous, just don't feel bad if you look up and realize life happened to you, and you maybe stayed at a job a little loger than you should have.
Most of the very, very short content is true. Being one-liners lessens it's credibility considerably, in my opinion. It's almost like just writing "chemtrails" on a wall.

As the article says, the cause is not certain. From some study, higher c-section rate correlates with higher income, so my guess is that it could just be an outcome of better hygiene according to the hygiene theory.
These categories seem senseless to me. What does remembering a name have to do with holding a compelling conversation? What does remembering language syntax have to do with performing quick mental math? If someone has been doing poorly socially they may tell themself, "I'm a brainy tech person, not some vapid socialite" or if they are struggling with a difficult technical concept they may say, "I'm good at talking to people, I'm not a nerd." I think the truth is that any behavior has a corresponding skill and any skill can be learned. Which skills come more easily, I believe, are a matter of past experience and conviction of one's ability to learn that skill rather than a matter of "giftedness". Licking a wounded ego is tempting and people love to be a part of some group that bears a shared identity. Doing so, however, doesn't make you more skilled and likely does the opposite by depriving you of the conviction that a skill can be learned.
As someone who's absolutely abysmal at recalling names and physical features, but with a good memory for personality and interactions, my experience has been that the impact's rather minimal - while it can lead to a few awkward moments, it's much more important for social interaction to remember who someone is than their arbitrary identifier.

Plus it sets the stage for any number of anecdotes or comparisons.
Yes but you won't have those options markets unless market makers can hedge. You need a market maker to be on the other end of those trades, and from what I can tell, if market makers can't hedge then they either won't show up or will demand super wide bid ask spreads to make up for the delta risk

I'm not a derivatives trader but have explored investing in options when I was at a fund, and that was my experience looking at options for hard to borrow stocks. For market makers out there -- is that a fair assessment?
As a non-physicist I assume the physicists have thought really hard about this.

But it feels very strange to accept something that:

- is a particle

- doesn't interact with other normal particles (except through gravitation)

- doesn't interact with particles of its own kind
I’ve written about this here before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16703193

It feels unintuitive to think about “dark matter” that can’t be directly observed outside of its indirect gravitational effects, but that carries with it an implicit assumption that we should be able to directly observe all the matter in the universe, with the further implication that all the matter in the universe obeys the four fundamental forces that our matter does. Except we already know of other particles that don’t quite do that, like neutrinos, which we can just barely detect directly.

If you take at face value the observation that most observed mass in the universe (via the effects of gravity) is dark, then it appears that our fundamental understanding of reality only describes a minority of the universe and that what’s truly special isn’t the “dark matter”, but rather the “anthropic matter” that we can more easily observe. The dark matter may simply be multiple entirely alien classes of matter with their own fundamental forces, stuff that doesn’t interact with our matter at all outside of gravity and contains, perhaps, observers of its own trying to figure out what the hell we are and whether we exist, since we don’t respond to their fundamental forces.

Depends on how 'better' is defined. It looks like they are defining 'better' in this study as 'graduating from college'. That seems like an awfully narrow view of better.
The issue is often that Employee Engagement is driven by (and wanted from) Human Resource* departments who tackle it like another checkbox to tick.

Real employee engagement comes from understanding that employees are unique and often have similar but different needs when it comes to what motivates them (money, ego, success, quality, output, social, etc.). The data often doesn't reflect the fidelity needed here.

Like lots of things in USA this is tied to racism. Whites in USA have risks similar to those of other developed nations. Analysis has found that nonwhite immigrants have largely the same results as USA whites. However, their daughters have the same elevated risks as other minorities in USA. Public health experts don't have any idea why this is, so they're no closer to solving this problem than e.g. the public education system is to fixing its own racist outcomes.
BtrFS stands for B-tree File System. BetrFS stands for B^{\epsilon}-tree File System. They are both named after their primary data structure.
> Contrast that with a finding from the other end of the genetic scoring scale: about 27 percent of those who score at the bottom quarter of the genetic index, but are born to high-income fathers, graduate from college.

Is this "genetic index" real and scientifically accepted? It sounds vaguely like eugenics.

> And their work has limitations, in addition to being limited to white people for now.

I guess you can use the idea of "genetic scoring" as long as you side step race, but the idea has a long dark history and strikes me as un-scientific.

I think the key to these situations is remembering that others are just as likely to forget your name as you are to forget theirs. Thus, when seeing someone whose name I've forgotten, I always lead off the conversation by reintroducing myself (without asking for their name).

This often prompts a reintroduction by the other party and will soothe their anxiety if they've forgotten your name as well.
Yeah I've thought about that, I am thinking about adding a fake contact email and a fake contact phone number, maybe a fake 'about' page.

I actually got the fake sites by registering old expired domains that had real, similar businesses on them in the past - so if the intruder looks on wayback machine, they'll see something there.

Thanks for your feedback, I'll certainly look at making the honeypot sites a bit more detailed.
Indeed. For all of modern Communist China's problems, taking revenge on family members isn't known to be one of them. They focus on a individual's own loyalty to the state and whoever holds power. As is to be expected, as part of the point of Communism is to destroy the family unit and replace it with the state. This is different from, for example, Japan, where their are explicit laws mandating familial responsibility for (adult, not only juvenile) relatives.

Reminds me of the original "Ocean's 11" -- after silver-spoon punk Jimmy Foster [Lawford] is done needling his gangster soon-to-be stepdad Duke Santos [Romero], Santos launches in to a story about growing up tough in the streets and how it prepared him to "always fight" [and thereby become wealthy], but at a cost of years and health.

After a beat, Foster says "Just goes to show : My way's better."

Santos [incredulous] : "What way is that?"

Foster : "Choose rich parents."

Santos : "Ha! You can bet your boots it is."
