“White nationalism” has been synonymous with segregation and genocide essentially since the inception of the term. I guess if you care really hard about that particular phrase this is a tragedy. But there are ample other, less fraught ways to express that you’re an American patriot. Bemoaning that you can’t say “white nationalist” to mean that seems a strange (or disingenuous) stance to take.
"Female voices do however appear to have an advantage in that they can portray a greater range of urgencies because of their usually higher pitch and pitch range. An experiment is reported showing that knowledge about the sex of a speaker has no effect on judgements of perceived urgency, with acoustic variables accounting for such differences."

Backblaze is not necessarily optimal for this use case, since "files are expunged from the servers after 30 days if they're removed from a computer" [1]. For files stored for archive purposes, such as some old movies or CDs, it might be that due to user error you happen to remove something but only notice this when you actually need the content.

Proof-Of-Capacity: An enviro-safe mining method
I am working on algorithms related to PVC and AFib detection. I can see why the app might make that mistake. PVCs and AFib are not mutually exclusive, and AFib can be "paroxysmal", meaning it doesn't occur all the time. Basically the way AFib "works" is that instead of steady and constant p-waves, where all the cells in the atria contract in one swoop (as they should), the excitation of the cells spreads chaotically without a clear beginning and end.

Of course, as a Human watching an ECG you can recognize the PVCs at one glance. AFib can be a lot harder to see, and it can start and stop. Also, AFib seems to be less of a problem than high PVC counts, speaking in general terms. Of course, don't take this as medical advice, I'm just a Veterinarian...
I only have a high school education and am currently a software engineer at a FAANG company after getting three offers. Once I leave and go to another company, I found it unlikely that they will care about my original education.
So just apply a massive fine to the company itself.
Assuming you are familiar with all relevant languages/frameworks involved then reading other people's code is not hard at all if 1) you understand the purpose of the portion of the code base you are in 2) you understand design/architecture of that portion of the code base and 3) You ask for a quick overview from someone.

Yes, sometimes code is loaded with all kinds of indirection that usually comes from OO programmers outsmarting themselves with all kinds of implicit polymorphic dispatch and unnecessary design pattern legacy. This is why its important to ask someone familiar with the code to give you a rundown.
I believe "Under the table" in this case means the management was unaware and customer was not billed. It's the only scenario I can think of that would in this context be on the positive side of most ethical frameworks.

Happens a lot, in many types of companies and policies, that helping the customer has to be "under the table" / "off the books" :-/

I did a MAL implementation too, and am currently working on an LLVM compiler, but dear god I'd never frame it as "spent x years learning to make a compiler".

MAL is easy, and straightforward - I'm not saying this to devalue your work (great job!) but to point out that the language is by design simple to implement and doesn't require any prior knowledge of how an interpreter works. People who want to write their own implementation should try that right now, and definitely not be scared off by "I spent 10 years working on this". Turning that interpeter into a compiler is an extra step on top.
no offense meant - no one sounds like this. record your voice and play it back side by side. there's some kinda uncanny valley effect at play
This is not the right place to show your love for the name. We should be happy about YC considering Bangalore/Bengaluru as a place to conduct interviews. Your point deviates the intention of the post.
No it's not. It's trivial to recognize a PVC if you see one, but it's a lot harder to rule out AFib.

To recognize a PVC at the frequency mentioned, you'd need to see much less than a minute of ECG data. You could see AFib in the same length of data, if the data is of good quality, but it can occur episodically, so the 24 Hour ECG is the right call.

I have only limited cardiological knowledge, especially regarding Humans, but at least in my model of cardiac pathology PVCs and AFib aren't mutually exclusive.

Back in 2006 –when I was studying CS at Rollins College– I wrote a Scheme (subset of Lisp) interpreter that also shows a visual representation of linked lists and function calls. You can check it out here: http://davidpilo.com/pvts/

The interpreter was written in Java and while it does not support the full R5RS grammar it supports quite a bit of it (see http://davidpilo.com/pvts/language.html)

Cheers!
My understanding is that membership of terrorist or rebel groups is illegal (and in fact can be grounds for US force to kill US citizens without trial like several US citizens killed while being a member of Al-Qaeda* ). But membership of groups that are... let's just say "unsavory" is not itself illegal. I don't know about groups like Atomwaffen to determine whether they belong to the former or the latter.

\* Which did stir up some controversy, but is not all that surprising. The precedence for this dates back to the US Civil War, it would be ridiculous to claim that the Union Army criminally murdered hundreds of thousands of US citizens on the battlefield without trial when the latter were fighting for the Confederacy.
They can also blow you off overnight by mistake but whoops it's too late. At one time I had around 25,000 users on my app then a hiccup landed me back at 2 users. As a developer you have no rights. But at least they don't charge $100 a year like apple who can also randomly kill your app by mistake easily as well.
Bitbucket's private repos for team upto 5 members used to be really great. But GitHug/Gitlab also offers the same.

Advantages of GitHub
1. Better and faster UI in my opinion

Advantages of GitLab
1. Awesome CD/CI Integration with unlimited minutes in self hosted runners. It is just brilliant
2. Good integration between issues, branches and merge request
3. Simple time tracking and estimate for issues.
4. Better git history graphs than GitHub.
5. Truly free for any team size. you pay for the enterprise-y features only as required. The basic stuff is totally free

See this is exactly the ignorance I'm talking about. You aren't even following the conversation. Instead you're just trying to lecture me like you're smarter than me for believing something you don't understand.
It's already been said that, essentially, most PhD graduates are in a state of delusion - the truth is that nobody would make a rational decision to become an adjunct. This is very true. What I think still needs to be said that most PhD graduating institutions actively perpetuate these delusions. (In disclosure, I am associated with an academic institution doing academic research, but I am not an adjunct. Thankfully.)

There is really next to no value in taking on PhD work at an institution below a certain threshold. Nearly all tenure-track positions go to candidates with a very select background. They must have graduated from the top 30 (or so) institutions in their field. They usually have done a postdoc at another peer institution in that class. They need to have produced a large number of publications, which usually means having well connected collaborators, especially your PI/advisor. If you do not have this background, you stand little chance of even being considered for the tenure track.

That being said, the lower tier institutions are less capable of supporting their faculty, so they pad this with cheap labor in the form of PhD students. The selection hierarchy begins even before graduate school - whether you attend an elite institution in your field is a major academic accomplishment in itself. Many are tempted to take the consolation prize when they don't make it, and the faculty at the lower tier schools are all too happy to accommodate them.

The tenured faculty will never change this on their own. They are the winners, whose continuing success depends on a ready supply of people who are deceived into thinking that they actually have a shot. For some, this deceit is only a moderate one - if you are at an elite school you have maybe a 1 in 10 chance. For most, the rate is approximately zero. Very few people are willing to really give their students a realistic assessment, but in the end it doesn't matter whether they do anyway. Graduate school is like trying to get published as a novelist, or becoming a professional athlete. Everyone wants that kind of status. Heck, you can definitely support yourself, depending on what level of asceticism you can tolerate and how lucky, well connected, or (rarely) brilliant you are. It is just that the vast majority makes very little money/status, and a privileged few make a large amount. There will never be a shortage of people who try to make it anyway. Some would say the entire enterprise depends on it.

(edit - clarification)
I called the phrase inherently dishonest... and somehow that indicates I wanted to use it for some other context? Like I had positive use for it?

Your comment suggests you have internalized the idea that nationalist and racist are the same thing. Or were you really thinking I wanted to use "white nationalist" (or any color) in some other context?

Reddit should ban these kinda tools, a lot of useful threads become unreadable. Maybe some tool to dissociate your identity from the content made by reddit itself would be better.

One more piece of Anecdata, Im an Australian who has decided to go for US citizenship, for several reasons but all basically due to a continuous disregard for personal liberties by our government. Australians love being told what to do, seems like 90% of the population are very satisfied to be servants of the ruling class and aspire to nothing else.

Edit: I replied to the wrong comment, meant to reply to the one above this one.
the article itself does a pretty good job of listing all the other cases where a previously respected and well paid profession has been affected by market forces.

Of course, it ascribes malicious intent for all of them, too.

I think the paragraph about journalism was probably the most pertinent. No-one decided to relabel journalism as "content" to be produced by designated "content providers". Pre-internet only journalists had a way of publishing their opinions. Post-internet everyone does. The simple law of supply and demand means that opinions are less valuable now.

Sometimes you need an interim solution. A decent organization will be able to manage them by replacing them with actual resolution.

The statute here is always talking about a contracted service provider who has to comply with the compelled "assistance". So as an employee, you do not have to worry about being jailed for non-compliance, as an employee cannot be a "contracted service provider". But you may be fired for non-compliance by your employer (if they choose to fire you because of it), but that's between you and your employer.

House-Hunting in Silicon Valley
Well, in the case of scientific and engineering disciplines the government decided that having lots of PhDs and having them be cheap was helpful so they set up a system to that end.

> During the late 1990s I became convinced that in order to orchestrate lower wages for scientists, there would have to have been a competent economic study done to guide the curious policy choices that had resulted in the flooded market for STEM PhDs. For this theory to be correct, the private economic study would have had to have been done studying both supply and demand so that the demand piece could later be removed, resulting in the bizarre ‘supply only’ demographic studies released to the public. Through a bit of economic detective work, I began a painstaking search of the literature and discovered just such a study immediately preceded the release of the foolish demography studies that provided the public justification for the Immigration Act of 1990. This needle was located in the haystack of documents the NSF was forced to turn over when the House investigated the NSF for faking alarms about a shortfall.

> The title of this study was “The Pipeline For Scientific and Technical Personnel: Past Lessons Applied to Future Changes of Interest to Policy-Makers and Human Resource Specialists.” The study was undated and carried no author’s name. Eventually I gathered my courage to call up the National Science Foundation and demand to speak to the study’s author. After some hemming and hawing, I was put through to a voice belonging to a man I had never heard of named Myles Boylan. In our conversation, it became clear that it was produced in 1986, as predicted, immediately before the infamous and now disgraced demographic shortfall studies.

I run a team deploying machine learning systems in production, and I agree with most of this. None of us have a formal background in machine learning, and none of us have PhDs. We all came from traditional software engineering backgrounds, and I'd say we were all pretty strong in that area.

Then again, we're not Google Brain, and we're not attempting to do original research or publish papers. We have very concrete goals for systems we want to build, and so far we've been able to achieve success using already discovered methods. Almost everything we do is traditional engineering to build training datasets and deploy models to production on live data. We also spend a considerable amount of time preparing and delivering presentations on our results and services, so believe it or not interpersonal and presentation skills are actually quite important.

Most Bitcoin exchanges have fees that are a fraction of a percent. Not 1-2%. Paypal has international fees approaching 5%(!)

It doesn't take days to buy some BTC. Buying or selling is instantaneous (once you have an account at an exchange, which is a one-time thing to setup, certainly not a step to go through for every transaction as you seem to imply!)

Volatility has been declining over the last few years. Besides, volatility has an overall net-zero effect on your transactions: half the time you make a bit of extra money, half the time you lose a bit of money, so it averages to zero gains/losses.

Finally, use a trustworthy exchange. These are really not hard to find: Coinbase, Gemini, etc.

“White nationalism” is an inherently racist concept. Not all nationalism is though. You seem confused that adding the word “white” to nationalism makes the whole phrase mean something else entirely. Maybe consider the context of who uses that phrase now and how it’s been used historically to understand why that particular construction is broadly (and correctly) considered racist and genocidal. Or why other uses of nationalism with other nationalities or colors aren’t.

but this is was HR believes, not the actual reality of software engineering nor of software development.

the concepts between persistence, object model mapping, handling user events, propagating user intent to business logic, share data between heterogeneous systems and present everything coherently to the user are not going to change so all the solutions are going to look and feel the same since stems from the same problems.

I mean for example chaining template for code reuse isn't something that only react ever did, I remember turbogear doing something very similar conceptually with how nesting widgets and widget having each their own template and dictionary of inputs that took from the model state directly and the lesson you learn on problem solving and code reuse do stay with you a long time, longer than any single framework.
