>animals display species-oriented preference in their dietary range, and that for some animals this preference can be emotionally/socially based.

If there is any species-oriented preferences outside of taste and availability, it's purely out of a symbiotic relationship that they benefit from. Wolves aren't going to stop hunting deer unless the deer somehow provide additional sources of food that the wolves realize only exists because of the deer's help.
On a some what similar topic: the amount of killing and hunting (rabbits, moles, mice and other small mammals) that happens when we grow produce. Add to that the destruction of a previously thriving eco system of small mammals, insects and lizards that is caused by the vast mono crop method used by most conventional farmers. And you end up with questions about the ethics of a plant based diet (at least one that is based on our conventional methods of large scale farming).

On the surface it would seem that a diet that includes meat from free range (non feed lot) cattle would result in less death (by numbers) and less destruction of natural habitat than a 100% plant based diet (even a small organic farm practices eco system destruction to plant its non mono crops and I assume practices animal trapping/hunting?). Which maybe is fine with some vegans but I think a large percentage don’t consider this. In particular the amount of poison and traps that are used to kill small mammals to produce each pound of carrots, broccoli or other plant life.
Even without that when you’re thinking about macronutrients you should be thinking at the level of at least a day, probably closer to a month. Even without the coconut milk the eggs and cheese from breakfast is plenty fat to ward off deficiency diseases.
First time you butchered it or first time you killed it?
I had a Viper alarm with these features installed in my car back in 2012 and immediately noticed that while their iOS app used SSL to talk to the API, it never actually validated the certificate, and was trivial to set up a man-in-the-middle proxy to grab a user's auth token and make requests as them. According to their reply their devs weren't able to replicate it, which told me all I needed to know about their ability to write secure software. It's good to hear they responded quickly in this instance, but I'm not sure I'd ever trust their devices again.
The software engineer analogue of this would be consulting. You hire everyone out of college. Start them off at a salary such that they are still net positive even if they only ever stay at the lowest possible billable rate. If you get good enough to command higher rates (or the effective rate through increasing the success rate of projects), you'll keep on getting commensurate raises.
That may how your IT department has chosen to configure updates then. In a domain environment, you can configure about thirty options for how Windows Update works including what options the user has and whether or not to reboot automaticially, and approve individual updates at any given time you like. Updates can absolutely be held indefinitely.
I am surprised to read that you were downvoted by some. Even if you are completely wrong (I have no idea, I am not a sound engineer), you are trying to provide an opinion and I would simply debate it with you, rather than downvoting.
(Editing to point out that this is an elaboration, not a correction. ie here is why this doesn't work)

The things a FIDO token / Security Key knows how to do are not really sufficient to authenticate with SSH public key Auth mode.

Specifically FIDO tokens know how to magically create a new public key and a cookie and promise they can subsequently sign specific messages that prove they know the private key if given back the cookie.

This is a very narrow feature set, deliberately to support the U2F / WebAuthn process only.

Someone could add a completely new SSH Auth method that works with this but the existing SSH public key method requires that you start by claiming "Hey, I know this key, can that work?". Whereas a FIDO token may not (and yours doesn't) even be able to tell anyone which keys it "knows" (because in fact it doesn't really know them at all, they are effectively encrypted inside the cookies it relies on, but only it knows how to decrypt those!).
I think I only saw DP-based algorithms 3 times in 12 years of working and reading open source code. Two of them were boring textbook-based implementations. One algorithm was original, and came from 80s - it's from Emacs source code, with comments like "do not touch", "here be dragons", etc.
Careful with those Bluetooth headphones, a colleague of mine managed to pair her laptop with her speakers rather than her 'phones, and then promptly proceeded with listening to a (veee-eeery) adult audiobook.

Apparently, it can be quite difficult to determine whether the sound comes from your phones or outside them if you haven't turned the NC on.

Fifty shades of embarrassing moments, that.
I don't have time to answer your specific claim about why relative wealth inequality is a problem even if the poor aren't miserably poor. It's a complex and deep subject. There's resources out there if you are curious. And yes, there's a good share of BAD arguments against wealth inequity (lots of people who are just resentful and superficial and believe even factually wrong things) — so you could spend your time convincing yourself that everyone you disagree with is an idiot. There's no shortage of idiocy. But you can also find the real stuff from smart and expressive people discussing these things better, and that's what you should try to find. Sorry for not picking out citations, I'm already procrastinating too much by writing this.

Now, Jeff Bezos is absolutely a remarkable and unique person who worked very hard and intelligently to get to where he is. But on just the pure matter of "deserve" it's so much more complex than the way you are looking at it. We don't live in a fair world. Look up "just world fallacy". In a world that is quite out of alignment from what we'd have if everyone got what they "deserve", it's simplistic to look at select cases like Bezos and judge from there.

But that's not what this is about AT ALL.

The concept of anti-trust and of managing this stuff is about power. The question is whether it's okay for Bezos and the whole company really to not only be wealthy but have monopoly-like power in the market. I have no reason to believe you checked out the link I posted earlier because you went on and repeated arguments about wealth — and this is NOT about that, not philosophically or legally. It's not even about taking away Bezos' wealth! Anti-trust is not about wealth redistribution, it's only about stopping anti-competitive threats to market competition.

> In a capitalistic society it deisappears within 2-3 generations

Well, that's just factually wrong. Capitalism doesn't just automatically do that, and the evidence doesn't support that claim either. And we don't have any sort of "pure" capitalism in existence to even study anyway. You need to get beyond these superficial specious ideas if you want to understand the reality. Start by treating your presumptions as hypotheses and figure out what evidence would be scientifically strong enough to validate or invalidate them and see how they hold up.
Dietary Cholesterol, Serum Lipids, and Heart Disease: Are Eggs Working for or Against You?

However, large-scale epidemiological studies have found only tenuous associations between the intake of eggs and cardiovascular disease risk. Well-controlled, clinical studies show the impact of dietary cholesterol challenges via egg intake on serum lipids is highly variable, with the majority of individuals (~ 2/3 of the population) having only minimal responses, while those with a significant response increase both LDL and HDL-cholesterol, typically with a maintenance of the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio.
> But I think it could go further and question why things get polarized into 2 sides. Our modern society is way more complicated and contains way more nuance than what a binary system can offer.

It's not that great for the masses, but it's wonderful for the elite. If you can persuade the vast majority to pick a side, then you don't have to worry about engineering public opinion to your own benefit on each and every issue. All you need to do is control both the red and blue teams. Then you can regularly shit on the proles and retain their support, simply by blaming the "other side" for their misfortune.
Here's my attempt:

Making multiple computers all store the same thing is hard because they have to send messages between each other, and sometimes messages get lost.

Other people have tried to write down how they solved this problem, but their explanations were hard for adults to understand.

This person has tried a new way to solve this problem, and a new way to explain their solution that uses ideas that many big kids who go to big kid school to study computers can understand.
Wasnt it the case that he got offended over the fact that he had to go through the same process as other people? Hope I am not mixing him with someone else.
Keep in mind that there's many more orbits that don't occlude a star than those that do. So there's some luck required, and likely at least 2 orbital occlusions (22 years) to be sure.
> I need to practice that I guess.

You are right about that, at least according to that article here:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18942572

That guy trained on a well known website to solving minor coding issues and then (that's the important part) practised solving them in mock interviews to real persons.

Maybe that could help you.
It could be updated using a file you download to a USB drive and then plug in to a port inside the car. That way it would require physical access to the car, and the update file could be signed to only work in your car specifically.

The only reason to do OTA updates is convienence.

Recommendations really only come into play when you're talking about the best engineers. In which case, you're effectively no longer interviewing, just getting people in your network who say they must hire you or tell other people in their networks they must hire you.

Them being "fundamentally well-intentioned, working to build a more just & equitable society" is a good explanation for why they wiped out lots of job-killing regulations that infringed on private property rights. This might not be your idea of how best to achieve things, but it is consistent with a well-intentioned view that destroying jobs and infringing on private property rights is unjust and inequitable.
I found this interesting. Does anyone else know of any other peer-to-peer web protocols other than [IPFS](https://ipfs.io/) and [DAT](https://datproject.org/) ?
That does seem a bit excessive, but is getting a transfer permit actually difficult? And it's not like California isn't doing the "war on drugs" either, with the same success.
Technically, there is nothing in the universe that is random. We just need something sufficiently complex that no one can predict it.
It is if you already have the skills. Some people realise after a few years in one area that they've become an expert in another area which might pay more. It doesn't sound like OP is like that, though. He might not like programming. He might not be good at it. He could waste a lot of time just trying to "make more money". He should instead pursue it only if he enjoys it and then maybe he'll end up in the situation where he can change.
DevOps is a rewarding field and probably easier toget into compared to other fields.
Let's also not forget about the climate impact of turning rockets into business class travel. It's pretty ridiculous. If we want any change and chance for this planet we should squash initiatives like this in the butt.
Er, there's a giant cloud of dust called the dark rift that blocks a fair bit of the center of the galaxy. We only recently started looking though it at xray wavelengths to see the center of the milky way (and the black hole there). On a clear night you can see the edges of the milky way and the giant cloud of dust.
"Although the likelihood of missing any school days during the past year decreased with reduced income, among children missing school, those from low-income households missed more days of school than did children from higher income households. Although the reason for absenteeism cannot be ascertained from this analysis, these data underscore the importance of preventive measures, such as hand hygiene promotion and education, and the opportunity for both homes and schools to serve as an important point for implementation of public health preventive measures, including hand hygiene practice and education."
I used to be a lead software engineer and conducted dozens of interviews and phone screens. I would simply look at existing problems I had solved recently and ask the candidate how they would solve them. If they came up with something on par with my solution or better I would recommend them for a second interview. If they talked around the problem and just dropped buzzwords I knew right away they weren't a good match and/or didn't know their stuff.

This approach is straightforward, real-world, and you can find out about a person this way in as little as 15 minutes.
Sanity check. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Longshot was a NASA design that could use nuclear pulse propulsion to deliver 30 tons of payload from here to Alpha Centauri at an average speed of 4.5% light speed. That is with acceleration and deceleration. The same technology could let us go much farther - just with coasting in the middle.

Now it is absolutely true that we could not survive any significant impacts at that speed. However we also have data indicating that the interstellar medium is essentially empty.

Here is a sanity check. Per http://cdms.berkeley.edu/Education/DMpages/FAQ/question36.ht... the density of dark matter (that is, all the stuff that we can't see) is around 6x10^(-28) kg/cm^3. Since you arbitrarily said a gram, let's switch that to g/m^3, and we get 6x10^(-19) g/m^3. The distance to Alpha Centauri is on the order of 4x10^16 m. So a 1000 square meter surface should run into about a gram of "stuff". According to our best theories, most of it is currently unknown stuff, 99% of the rest is single atoms, and the vast majority of the rest is dust particles with sizes on the scale of waves of blue light.

Dealing with that dust and hydrogen is a serious issue. But the odds of running into pebble sized objects at random are pretty low. Heck, even microbe sized objects will be vanishingly rare. True, it will be a disaster if we do. But that translates in practice into, "There will be a failure rate for probes."

The size of a probe to bootstrap manufacturing seems likely to be a lot smaller than a billion tons of cargo. Don't forget, this is going to be encoded using technology that is as far beyond us as we are beyond building the pyramids. I think we can assume rather efficient storage/bootstrapping mechanisms to be available for us.
So let's force those women into the workplace??

If more women would prefer to stay home and raise children, does that mean they are not equal? I do not think so. They are doing the more noble thing. And apparently, a much higher percentage of women than men, want to stay home.

The trick with this material is that it pretty much reflects sound waves. On the way back, these reflected sound waves then crash into the upcoming soundwaves and they cancel each other out.

Headphones with active/acoustic noise cancelling use the same trick, except that they pick up the upcoming sound waves with a microphone and then use a speaker to generate those "reflected" soundwaves.

Actually-reflected soundwaves cannot be as strong as the upcoming soundwaves, so they're never going to fully cancel out the noise. Those generated soundwaves can.

One point is that there's most likely less latency for a soundwave to get reflected vs. picked up by a microphone and then generated by a speaker.
However, to my knowledge our human senses have even more latency than both of those, so I don't think that matters.
You say you lack experience but you don't say what experience you do have. Do you lack experience compared to a 35 year old software developer, or compared to a 21 year old computer science graduate? It will take you years to catch up if you're starting from zero. Don't think about it as a career change. Think about it as a new hobby. If you think you're good at it one day, then try to find a job where you need it.
Because is someone sneaks in a backdoor or otherwise tries to make off with a bunch of crypto, good luck extraditing an overseas worker to get the money back. You have to trust your employees, but at least it's a little more difficult to skip out on justice when you are in the same country as your employees.

Yes, the code involving the DP algorithm I put in had a bug in it - not from the DP algorithm itself but the assumptions that fed into it - which went undetected for some time because of how complex the DP algorithm was and how hard it was to evaluate. It only caused a minor performance quirk (not a actual semantic error) so was hard to find.

A cautionary tale about being overly clever-clever I suppose.
The parent simply stated that YC had become a brand like Harvard or Stanford. That's very clearly true, YC is the best in the world at what it does and it's extremely well known in tech. It is a potent brand. I don't see where the parent was implying YC was as well known globally as Harvard.

Harvard also isn't as well known as Coca Cola (not even remotely close in fact). That lower recognition doesn't mean that Harvard isn't a brand that represents eg a very high standard in its field.

That cloud is about 2000 light years away from us.

The fact that there are patches of dust doesn't change the fact that we are seldom in the middle of such patches.

And even when we are, it is a lot like the difference between being in light mist versus seeing it from a long ways away. We are, in fact, in the middle of a patch of "mist" called the "local fluff". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Interstellar_Cloud for more. This does not noticably cut out light between us and stars that are under 100 lightyears away.
Since you mention disposable income, if you can tolerate in-ear monitors I would suggest getting custom-fit silicone IEM. Used with even a very low level of music (or even some white noise generator) they dampen noise like nothing else in my experience. Successfully tested in a work environment with endless yammering, bleeping computer equipment, that mandatory 'shout-speaking' colleague, and even once a guy who let a 1U server running on his desk for a week for testing purposes (because why not).

The only down-side for me was that they are not as quick to pop on and off as regular headphones.
> Using computer models, scientists simulated a 4,000-foot asteroid smashing into a 15.5-mile asteroid at 11,200 miles per hour.

The biggest known potentially hazardous asteroid is only 7 km in diameter. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/(53319)_1999_JM8).

> The study has limitations. Both asteroids are modeled as simple, nonrotating chunks of rock, whereas real asteroids are far more variable. In addition, the larger asteroid, despite featuring a starting collection of cracks, did not have a history of multiple impacts as true asteroids would.

Sounds like this model was designed to generate sensationalized headlines like this one.
Along with this and the previous GDPR, Does it mean that EU is more concerned about the Privacy of its citizens than any other Nation ?

What does it mean to “cancel” or “block” “94% of sound”? From the paper’s abstract: “Finally, the proposed unit-cell performance is validated experimentally, demonstrating a reduction in the transmitted acoustic energy of up to 94%.”

Does this basically mean amplification by about −12 dB?
The article mentions on one hand a high pitched note, but on another hand enough bass to see the subwoofers play it:

"Standing in the room, based on your sense of hearing alone, you’d never know that the loudspeaker was blasting an irritatingly high-pitched note. If, however, you peered into the PVC pipe, you would see the loudspeaker’s subwoofers thrumming away."
Both of those have pretty easy recursive solutions. I don't think you are required to pass all the unit tests in order to move forward and doubt the most optimal DP solution was really required. I got similar (as in recursive with DP optimization possible) questions in my real interviews.
I assumed that this was the interviewers observation and not a fact, because even a mid-range driver would be moving visibly.

Considering the size of the tube, this is certainly not a driver big enough to go to lower frequencies.

The killer detail (in the article) is that 1/3 of the (small) development cost of 40 million were borne by the Dutch tax payer. How did that patent end up in a big pharma portfolio?

Who funds this and what kind of shit lawyers and economists draw up the funding schemes that give away full intellectual property, only with a (historic) backstop for individual preparation?

We need risked based co-funding, co-profiting (irregardless of wether it's governments or, say, insurers investing), a backstop on prices via qualy-s, relatively short patents, no gaming of patents via arbitrarily small changes, governments creating generics, ... And now I wake up.
